It’s not fake, but it is false
There is so much propaganda using statistics about men who commit crimes--black and white. It's not exactly "fake," but it is meant to mislead. A man (or occasionally a woman) committing a crime is more likely to be shot or restrained by police than one who is out at a ball game not committing a crime. That's their job. Blacks commit crimes at a higher rate than whites or Hispanics or Asians, but for their numbers are less likely to be shot or restrained. It's something like 8x the rate of crime of whites, and blacks have a victim rate 6x that of whites. They are not being victimi... more »

On channel 10 (Columbus) tonight a fearful white mother with her two young black sons who had questions about the Floyd story was interviewed and she suggested more meetings, pro... more »

FMRI Images Are Just Pretty Pictures
Ten years ago science journalists talked about functional MRI (fMRI) scans all of the time. Because if a part of the brain lit up when someone did, said, or read something, it went into a paper. Few asked who was doing the interpreting, how legitimate the scale was, and if it had any scientific relevance. We got media claims that fMRI would predict behavior and the resulting media attention caused scholars to rush to produce even more fMRI papers. read more

The U.S. Constitution and Insurrection!
United States Constitution, Article I, Section 8, Paragraph 15: “Congress shall have the power to provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions.” Donald Trump can not do anything until Congress calls out the National Guard.

Incredible Disappearing Coronavirus - The Narrative Has Failed
Suddenly there is no talk about coronavirus. Reputable doctors in Italy, the UK, and elsewhere are claiming the virus hardly exists any longer. Just over a week ago much of America faced jail if they dared break the "social distancing" rules put in place by tyrannical governors and other public officials.

*JFK was killed by the same "monolithic and ruthless" people that run this planet. If you want to be free you must fight, there is no other way. Force is all they understand. If you do not fight they will kill you anyway, it's written in stone, see Georgia Guidestones. This fight is soon to come to you, when they go door to door pulling you out of your houses and injecting you with deadly chemicals, it will be the end of all hope. * *Excerpt from JFK’s Address:April 27, 1961, Waldorf-Astoria Hotel – * *American Newspaper Publishers Association - New York City* *"For we are opposed... more »

Just Say No to State & Local Bailouts
Why is the HEROES bailout so much greater than the states’ losses? Simple: State governments would likely use a large part of the bailout money to make up for shortfalls in their funds for state government pensions. In April, Illinois Senate Democrats, for example, asked Congress for a bailout of over $40 billion, $10 billion […] The post Just Say No to State & Local Bailouts appeared first on Econlib.

*BBC:* *Hong Kong: Tens of thousands defy ban to attend Tiananmen vigil* Tens of thousands of demonstrators in Hong Kong have defied a ban to stage a mass vigil for the victims of the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown in Beijing.
