They got it. The full 18-minute video that leaked laid out a much more complex scenario than had been portrayed, but that didn’t change the simplistic media messaging. George Floyd was incorrectly turned into a martyr and folk hero, despite being a violent criminal offender who was resisting arrest and had previously held a pregnant woman at gunpoint. He was also a heavy drug user who was high on multiple different drugs.100 Percent Fed Up – Two days after MN Police Officer Derek Chauvin was charged with 3rd-degree murder, and former MN Police Officers Thomas Lane, J. Alexander Kueng, and...

Not a momentous change numerically, but maybe an important one politically. Via Pew: About six-in-ten Americans (61%) now say K-12 schools that are not currently open for any in-person instruction should give a lot of consideration to the possibility that students will fall behind academically when deciding whether to reopen. In July 2020, 48% said this should be given a lot of consideration as schools made decisions about whether to open for in-person instruction in the fall. The shares saying schools should give a lot of consideration to the risk to teachers (48%) or students (45%) of getting or spreading...

....Many “ordinary people,” writes former police officer Jack Dunphy, have “for nearly a year… been conditioned to submit.” But a combination of anecdotal and hard statistical evidence would strongly suggest that voluntary and even enthusiastic compliance is a far more significant factor. A recent IPSOS Reid poll reports that 93 percent of Canadians “say they are doing their best to abide by public health recommendations regarding Covid-19,” and that more Canadians “are wearing a protective mask than was the case just a few months ago.” Americans seem only marginally less passive and deferential than Canadians. According to the Tampa Bay...

President Joe Biden revoked seven executive orders on Feb. 24 issued by President Donald Trump between 2017 and 2021. The White House offered no explanation for the revocation in its formal press release. Biden’s action revoked one of the first executive actions Trump signed upon taking office—an executive order titled Core Principles for Regulating the United States Financial System. The order set out the Trump administration’s policy on financial regulation, with the first listed goal to “empower Americans to make independent financial decisions and informed choices in the marketplace, save for retirement, and build individual wealth.”

California’s Assembly is slated to consider a new bill requiring department store childrens’ sections to be largely “gender-neutral” in order to combat “prejudice” and “judgment” against gender non-conforming children. “Large retailers that sell toys, clothes, and other children’s items in California would have to devote floor space to merchandise marketed to both boys and girls under a new bill,” Politico reported earlier this week. “Stores would be able to sell the same products they do now as long as they maintain some areas where shoppers can find all toys or clothes, regardless of gender-based marketing, under CA AB2826 (19R) from...

In an op-ed published in the New York Daily News, Hinton described Cuomo as a "bully" who exercised "total control," and made disparaging comments toward her. Hinton's statements came on the same day that former Cuomo aide Lindsey Boylan accused the governor of sexually harassing her and amid additional accusations that Cuomo bullies and harasses those he disagrees with.... Hinton also said that Cuomo belittled her previous experience working for Mike Espy, who later became a Democratic Mississippi congressman. "He told me I had only worked for a 'Black man from a small town in Mississippi' and, therefore, wasn't qualified...

Accusations of "white privilege" or just "whiteness" are the latest lefty version of calling someone a "reactionary bourgeois capitalist pig" for demanding their rights. The more powerful the Left became, the less it mattered whether their targets were in any way capitalist or bourgeois. The Democrats control Los Angeles and California. And so the response of their union to Latino parents demanding that schools be reopened is "white privilege". When Los Angeles parent Cynthia Rojas heard that federal experts and local health authorities said elementary campuses could reopen, she was ecstatic. But then reality hit her: Campuses in the L.A....

A California school district is promoting a black-only parent meeting that calls for black parents to have a larger influence on the curriculum that is taught in schools. The Val Verde Unified School District is promoting a seven-part black-only event for parents to share their experiences and give input into how the district should alter its curriculum. The segregated events will take place throughout the spring 2021 academic year. -snip According to a Val Verde Unified School District teacher — who wishes to remain anonymous — the district is already embedding ethnic studies classes into 11th-grade U.S. History classes and...

Dr. Anthony Fauci’s interventions continue to lose coherence and connection from reality. We are now at the point where Fauci seems to be implying that normality will never come back, and where reasonable people may draw the inference that getting vaccinated is vaguely socially irresponsible. Take his comments this week, from a report at Business Insider: “There are things, even if you’re vaccinated, that you’re not going to be able to do in society,” Fauci said on Monday during a White House COVID-19 press briefing. “For example, indoor dining, theaters, places where people congregate. That’s because of the safety of...

A study has found a scientific link between low levels of intelligence and those who express homophobic views. The findings, published by researchers at the University of Queensland, Australia, supports existing studies that have previously drawn correlations between having a low IQ and holding prejudiced views. However, this marks the first time a link between lower intelligence and homophobia has been examined in populations outside of the US. Published in the journal Intelligence, the study drew from a sample of more than 11,500 Australians. The research team analysed data from the 2012 Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA)...

Republicans won a clean sweep of national fundraising battles in January, outpacing their Democratic counterparts across the board in their first month as the minority in Washington, D.C. New financial disclosures show that the Republican National Committee, as well as the Republican campaign arms for the House and Senate, built a financial advantage over their Democratic rivals last month. The RNC led the way with a $16.3 million haul in January, roughly $3 million more than the $13.5 million raised by the DNC. The National Republican Senatorial Committee raised $8.3 million, compared with $6 million by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign...

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) declared Tuesday that the only experience President Joe Biden’s Health and Human Services (HHS) nominee, Xavier Becerra, has with “health care is that he sued the Little Sisters of the Poor” as a “trial lawyer.” Cruz insisted Becerra is an example of an “extreme nominee,” noting “the Biden Administration likes to talk about their science based [politics], and their priority of stopping COVID.” “Well, Becerra has no background in virology; he never worked at a pharmaceutical company, and his only health care experience is that he sued the Little Sisters of the Poor,” Cruz pointed out....

WASHINGTON — The new chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee said on Wednesday that the Biden administration should not withdraw all U.S. forces from Afghanistan to meet a May 1 deadline negotiated by the Trump administration and the Taliban. Instead, said Senator Jack Reed, a Rhode Island Democrat who took control of the panel this month, the United States should seek an extension of the deadline to give diplomats more time to negotiate an agreement between the Taliban and the Afghan government. “To pull out within several months now is a very challenging and destabilizing effort,” Mr. Reed told...

Parents’ education levels are no barrier to achieving homeschooling success an expert said as record numbers of American families turn to the alternative education pathway seeking a safer more stable learning environment for their children amidst the pandemic. Jeremy Newman, the Texas homeschool coalition’s public policy director, told The Epoch Times that it does not matter whether a parent has a GED or a Ph.D. Statistically, the homeschool parent’s education does not affect the outcomes of the students.

The Al Jazeera network is launching a new digital platform purportedly for American conservatives called “Rightly.” Its first video offering, “Right Now with Stephen Kent,” debuts on Thursday, February 25. The often controversial Qatari-government-funded network is touting its upcoming content as being developed for audiences that existing mainstream media leaves underrepresented. Al Jazeera, which has faced accusations that it is a propaganda outlet, apparently has concluded that it will have more success with the right than the left. The ratings-challenged, liberal Al Jazeera America channel, which started off as Al Gore’s Current TV before it was purchased, shut down in...

April 1, 3245 A.D. Trust the Plan Barron Trump XVII will be president. Legal proceedings nearing a critical phase will soon be heard by the Supreme Court of Wyoming, the Town Council of Moose Droppings, Idaho, and the Rotary Club in Valentine, Nebraska. Together, this will overturn the results of the 3244 election in which Lifeform Genderless Entity 821062-B was elected president by the unanimous verdict of the Electoral College comprised of 666 voters in 57 states. We know there was fraud in this election. Why? Because I voted for Barron Trump XVII and so the claimed 100% vote for...

(h/t COUNTrecount)Q is the result of the sacrifices and commitment of countless patriots to win back our captured country from the Deep State and achieve the transformation President Trump promised in this campaign video. President Trump has said the awakening of the public is key to this transformation.Q describes this awakening as follows: "The Great Awakening ('Freedom of Thought’), was designed and created not only as a backchannel to the public (away from the longstanding 'mind’ control of the corrupt & heavily biased media) to endure future events through transparency and regeneration of individual thought (breaking the chains of ‘group-think’),...
