We’re seeing far greater deaths from drug overdose that are above excess that we had as background than we are seeing the deaths from COVID,” he said...Read all.

"Last week, the Chicago Tribune’s most prominent writer, John Kass, wrote a column decrying the rise in urban violence.

- The false, malicious attacks on the Chicago Tribune columnist John Kass
"Last week, the Chicago Tribune’s most prominent writer, John Kass, wrote a column decrying the rise in urban violence. Its compelling title: ‘Something grows in the big cities run by Democrats: an overwhelming sense of lawlessness.’
In today’s woke world, it is risky to speak such hard truths about gang shootings, unprosecuted shoplifting, looting, carjackings and more.
This rising lawlessness is often cloaked in the language of protest, racial justice and income equality. Speaking out against it runs real risks.
You might be doxxed, your home tagged with graffiti, or your family threatened.
If you are a columnist, like John Kass, you might face ostracism from left-wing colleagues, attacks by the reporters’ union, and concessions to the mob by your paper’s editor, Colin McMahon.

If you are a columnist, like John Kass, you might face ostracism from left-wing colleagues, attacks by the reporters’ union, and concessions to the mob by your paper’s editor, Colin McMahon.
The dispute began when the union representing Tribune writers (of which Kass is not a member) decided to go after him, full-bore.
Their false charge was…wait for it…Kass’s column was anti-Semitic.
Why?
Because Kass noted that a major accelerant of urban violence has been the weak response by public officials, especially state and local prosecutors.
Some of those prosecutors won office as part of a progressive political movement, specifically focused on winning control of prosecutors’ offices.
That quiet movement had met with a lot of electoral success.
One of its major supporters and funders is George Soros.

BOMBSHELL: Leaked documents reveal Seattle City Council's plan to abolish FAR MORE than the police - TheBlaze
BOMBSHELL: Leaked documents reveal Seattle City Council's plan to abolish FAR MORE than the police - TheBlaze:
On the heels of the Seattle City Council's vehement support for cutting the police department by 50%, the council's next plan is to abolish prisons, municipal courts, and ultimately the entire criminal justice system, according to several documents leaked from the King County Executive's Office in Seattle.
The documents, which read like a critical race theory paper or a far-left diversity training pamphlet, detail a plan that has apparently been years in the making. They argue America's criminal justice system is a "white supremacist institution" that must be dismantled entirely.

"I had a hilarious post yesterday from a connection in Wales:
"You never hear Spaniards going "I dream of moving to Wales".
The Climate is too hot here in Spain - what I'd like is pissing, freezing rain 360 days of the year, with loads of damp and mould growing on the stuff out in the shed!
I have had enough of this warmth!
Bring on Cardiff!".
But every second Welsh/English person wants to move to Spain - for the Climate.
"Global Warming!"

Good.
It's bloody freezing here most days.
Some warmth would be welcome.
If it meant 20 Islands in the pacific got submerged and the 50 people who live there had to move to the next higher Paradise Island - I'm pretty Ok with that Sacrifice too as it happens.
At least you wouldn't need to do a short Spetznaz Induction course before stripping off to have a shower in the Baltic conditions that prevail here."

NBC Sports proclaims pitcher who didn’t kneel a false Christian
"NBC Sports is now the judge of who is and who is not a “real” Christian.
San Francisco Giants’s Sam Coonrod declined last week during the team’s season opener against the Los Angeles Dodgers to take a knee during the performance of the national anthem.
He was the only player on either team to remain standing.
The reliever explained later that, as a Christian, he is uncomfortable kneeling before anything but God.
For this, NBC Sports published an article this weekend, declaring the pitcher both a false Christian and anti-humanity....This simple explanation did not sit well with NBC Sports reporter Monte Poole...
...“Like so many others swimming against the tide of progress,” Poole continued, “[I]f Coonrod had taken a moment to inform himself, he would see motive behind this movement need not be affiliated with BLM but, rather, to bring greater awareness to the racial injustices that is its focus.”
“See, what Coonrod did not say but surely crept into the minds of listeners and readers is that he believes the various evolutions of America’s two greatest sins — the other being stealing land from the natives — are acceptable,” the reporter argued. “That equality is something for others to deal with.”...Read all.

Whoopsie! Health Care Company Accidentally Tells 600,000 People They Had the Coronavirus - Louder With Crowder:
Contrary to how I may come across, I really do take the 'rona seriously. But if we're being honest, some of you insist on making it difficult for me to do so. Every other day, there is a new story of an arbitrary regulation or some idiot somewhere who can't do math (see SOME FLORIDA COVID TESTING IS OFF BY ONLY ... 89% and A NASHVILLE MAN WAS TOLD HE TESTED POSITIVE FOR COVID. PROBLEM: HE NEVER TOOK A TEST FOR COVID ...). But for SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND PEOPLE to be told that they had the coronavirus when they didn't have the coronavirus?

THE GOOGLE TAPE: Google Global Affairs VP Kent Walker -- ‘History Is on Our Side’ | Breitbart:
Speaking to Google employees a few days after the 2016 election, Google VP for Global Affairs Kent Walker assured the company that despite Trump’s election, history was “on [their] side” but that they must work to ensure that “populism [and] nationalism” around the world is nothing more than a “blip” and a “hiccup” in the march towards progress.
The comments were brought to light in a video leaked exclusively to Breitbart News by an anonymous source. The video is a full recording of Google’s first all-hands meeting following the 2016 election, featuring Walker, CEO Sundar Pichai, co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page, and several other Google executives.

Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan and Councilmembers Alex Pedersen and Debora Juarez have had offensive messages written outside their homes by some protesters who support defunding the city’s police department.Messages written on a street at Durkan’s home read “Guillotine Jenny” and “Resign Bi—,” according to The Seattle Times. Windows at Pedersen’s home read “F— You” and “Don’t be racist trash.”
What a mishmash of revolutionary reference, common obscenities, and identity politics lingo.
The reference to the French revolution seems especially apt.
