Covid Pandemic and Climate Change Facts: Fact Checking the Fact Checkers
"...In the two of the most contentious areas of contemporary affairs – the impact of the covid pandemic and climate change on lives and livelihood – the question of just what the “facts” are remains as elusive to many of us as to our parents and grandparents who grappled with problems of their own times.
... today’s factcheckers are self-appointed media gatekeepers. They purport to winnow out the chaff of misinformation and “fake news” from the grain of facts and narrative truth.
- But are they the guardians of truth and accountability as they claim or are they the enforcers of the reigning political narrative?
- Are they the arbiters of “consensus science” (an oxymoron) that allegedly encompasses truths about climate change or the covid pandemic?
- Are they the stalwarts of partisan politics, purveyors themselves of fakery and hype that they claim to combat?...Read all.

Black reparations panel could decide who gets compensation | AP News
"California’s first-in-the-nation task force on reparations is at a crossroads, with members divided on which Black Americans should be eligible for compensation as atonement for a slave system that officially ended with the Civil War but reverberates to this day.
- Some members want to limit financial and other compensation to descendants of enslaved people
- while others say that all Black people in the U.S., regardless of lineage, suffer from systemic racism in housing, education and employment.
...California Assemblyman Reginald Jones-Sawyer, a member of the task force, said there is no question that descendants of slaves are the priority, but he said the task force also needs to stop ongoing harm and prevent future harm from racism...Read all.

“What didn’t happen was even minimal checks to make sure that the money was getting to the right people at the right time.”
- They came into their riches by participating in what experts say is the theft of as much as $80 billion — or about 10 percent — of the $800 billion handed out in a Covid relief plan known as the Paycheck Protection Program, or PPP.
- That’s on top of the $90 billion to $400 billion believed to have been stolen from the $900 billion Covid unemployment relief program — at least half taken by international fraudsters — as NBC News reported last year.
- And another $80 billion potentially pilfered from a separate Covid disaster relief program.
- ...The SBA inspector general found $78.1 billion in the Economic Injury Disaster Loans, another COVID relief program. The Secret Service estimates $100 billion was stolen.
Then there’s Danielle Miller. Federal prosecutors claimed she stole from a Massachusetts state website and used the information to get relief money. Miller showed off her lifestyle on social media...Read all!!

Too Much Lake Water is Climate Change, Not Enough Lake Water is Climate Change. - The Lid
- The Great Lakes in the north-central U.S. is a perfect example of how leftist green loons think climate change can be blamed for literally everything.
And because there wasn’t enough water in the lakes, greenies were running around with their hair on fire because “climate change” had destroyed the Great Lakes permanently.
The water was never going to rise again, they said.
Take this report from Chicago’s public TV station, WTTW, for instance.

Grooming your children in their public school class???-----Report: Fourth-grade teacher says 20 of her 32 students have come out to her as LGBTQIA+
Report: Fourth-grade teacher says 20 of her 32 students have come out to her as LGBTQIA+
"God bless Libs of Tik Tok for keeping an eye on what America’s teachers are up to. As she says, this message is from a fourth-grade teacher who was upset that the morning’s parade was billed as a “Wellness Walk,” and that to affirm the school’s students, “it would only be appropriate and right to publicly announce what we had this morning was a PRIDE Parade.” She also mentions that of the 32 students whom she teaches, “20 of them are LGBTQIA+ and have come out to me.”
These are internal messages from a 4th grade elementary teacher in @AustinISD. She’s upset that an entire week dedicated to LGBT still wasn’t good enough. Coincidentally, 20/32 of her FOURTH GRADERS are LGBT and have “come out” to her
What the hell is going on in these schools?! pic.twitter.com/dCPjBEW7jv
