  ‘UW Medicine is helping to ruin a woman who devoted her career to finding a cure for HIV’

"Highly decorated virologist Julie Overbaugh has been forced out of a position of leadership at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and resigned her faculty affiliate position at the University of Washington School of Medicine due to accusations of racism and investigations involving her decision to wear a Michael Jackson costume to a Halloween party in 2009.

A picture of the 13-year-old incident, in which she is accused of wearing “blackface,” has prompted peers to accuse her of racism despite the fact that her research has focused on aiding Africans for the last three decades...Read all!!

Schweizer: Joe and Hunter Biden 'Had Intermingled Finances'

Schweizer: Joe and Hunter Biden 'Had Intermingled Finances': 

“If you look at the Hunter Biden laptop, there’s a couple of things that stand out,” Schweizer outlined. “Number one, that Hunter Biden is paying some of his father’s monthly bills while he’s Vice President of the United States. That’s explicitly laid out in the emails. And number two, that Hunter Biden was paying for things like renovation on his father’s home in Delaware while Joe Biden was Vice President of the United States. Add to the fact that Hunter Biden is complaining to family members about how he’s having to give half his income to pop, which would be his father.”

"...what’s the point of being a ruling class if you can’t lord it over the plebs?"

Instapundit--what’s the point of being a ruling class if you can’t lord it over the plebs?

TRUE:

“From Veblen to Galbraith what has distressed the American critics of the free economy is not private property – which is the cornerstone of their own independence – but the private property of others. In recent times it is the spectacle of property in the hands of ordinary, gross, uneducated people that has troubled the domestic critics of American capitalism.”

— Roger Scruton

Prior to the arrival of the Pioneers, Indigenous peoples set fire to the foothills on an annual basis to suppress the expansion of forests, thus aiding in maintaining grasslands, which supported a more productive ecosystem."

Survey: Plurality Blame Joe Biden for High Gas Prices

Survey: Plurality Blame Joe Biden for High Gas Prices: 

A plurality of Americans blame the Biden administration for high gas prices, an Emerson Polling survey released this week found.

Inflation is continuing to hit Americans hard as 83 percent reveal they are experiencing some level of hardship due to increased prices of goods. Of those, 40 percent say they are experiencing “significant” hardship. Given that, it comes as no surprise that the economy is the top issue for respondents.

Democrats Mull $100 Monthly 'Biden Bucks' Gas Stimulus Checks to Buy Your Vote

"The Democrats have hit upon a simple way to end inflation. 

Why not give every American a $100 check every month to offset the inflation that their policies caused in the first place?
Better yet, Congress could give kids another $100 a month so that a family of three or four would be eligible for up to $300 a month in “Biden Bucks.”...

CBSNews:

American consumers could see increased costs of $2,000 this year due to the recent surge in gas prices — and that’s on top of an extra $1,000 in grocery store costs due to the steepest rise in inflation since 1982. Already, consumers are reporting they are cutting back on spending or driving less, with most blaming sticker shock at the pump.

The gas stimulus would “provide middle-class Americans with monthly payments to ease the financial burden of this global crisis,”...

No One Elected Woke CEOs

No One Elected Woke CEOs: 

Woke corporate CEOs seem to think they know better than voters what’s best for the country. These titans are throwing their companies’ clout and cash behind activists pushing gender-fluidity lessons for kindergarteners and other extreme political causes.

Expect this corporate activism to backfire. Corporations should be serving their customers, not trying to override the democratic process, like thousand-pound gorillas undoing what the electorate—including their own customers—wants.

Personal Behaviors Are a Major Driver of Racially Disparate School Suspensions

Personal Behaviors Are a Major Driver of Racially Disparate School Suspensions
"Until a few years ago, public school data found that

black students were suspended at three to four times the rate of white students. 

A survey of students in grades 9-12 found that 15.5% of black but only 6.4% of white students engaged in school fights. 

...Social-justice advocates believe that these growing racial behavioral gaps reflect black students’ adaptation to biased school policies in earlier grades – but I see other explanations....

• Finally, Orlando Patterson claims, “There has emerged a remarkable degree of uniformity in the culture of masculinity among all classes and regions of black youth in America.” Many black boys focus on being “cool” – adopting a distinct style of speech, posture, and walk that signals strength, control, a lack of emotion verging on indifference, fearlessness, and toughness, and success at fighting when necessary...Read all.

CO2 changes in response to temperature changes, not the other way around, as is often claimed. 

 In order to do that we need two datasets: 

• one for measurements of changes in atmospheric CO2 concentrations over time and

Climate science is unsettling because past data are not fixed, but change later on.
