The Butterfly Effect, simply put, is the proposition that small events can trigger and lead to much larger and significant events. It is derived from the idea of a butterfly flapping its wings and causing a tornado elsewhere in the world.
On Wednesday of this week, the third day of the trial of Derek Chauvin, a store clerk by the name of Christopher Martin, who took the counterfeit twenty-dollar bill George Floyd was using to pay for a pack of cigarettes, testified that he almost paid for it with his own money before changing his mind. This one small decision had an effect on the world

Sometimes tyrants just come right out and say what they mean. Last night was one of those nights.
Chris Cuomo and Leana Wen appeared together to bat around an absolutely insane idea, and it shows just how far the left in this country are willing to go to exact their will. In this case, Wen says that vaccinations should be tied to “freedoms,” denying them to those who haven’t yet gotten the shot.
I think they call this saying the quiet part out loud. There’s a lot of irony in a “my body, my choice” proponent saying this.

Republicans on a key House committee are pressing the Justice Department and Capitol Police to brief them on a review of Democratic allegations that some GOP lawmakers provided “suspicious” tours to possible rioters in the days before the Jan. 6 attack on Congress.
Rep. Rodney Davis of Illinois, the top Republican on the House Administration Committee, and other GOP members of the panel are asking officials in both agencies to provide a “confidential briefing” about the status of their review of those claims.
“It is extremely important that there be repercussions for anyone found responsible in connection with these serious allegations,”

Georgia is not the only state working on legislation to improve election integrity. Texas made a step in the right direction on Thursday when the state Senate approved legislation that would ban mail-in drop boxes and most drive-thru voting. The bill, SB7, was passed on a party-line vote. The criticism of the bill is along party lines, too. The Texas State Senate approved the legislation on April 1, a measure that Republicans say “ensures election integrity,” while Democrats say it’s voter suppression and makes it harder for people with disabilities and ethnic minorities to vote. SB7 passed on a vote of 18-13.

President Joe Biden’s Department of Transportation (DOT) has paused a highway widening project in Houston, Texas, citing Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as legal justification.
In what could be a first for any administration in this context, the Biden administration is using its federal powers to pause the Texas DOT plan to widen Interstate 45. The administration is doing this as a test to address what it calls a history of “government-driven racial inequalities.”
This comes after complaints from local activities during the federal DOT’s intervention period. The proposed plan, known as the North Houston Highway Improvement Project, is proposed to widen I-45 at three different sections.

You’d be hard-pressed to get Joe Biden to offer an update, opinion, or even a single fact about the border.
That’s a huge mess. It’s his job for that not to be a huge mess. The border is a national security issue. He handed it off to Kamala Harris more than a week ago. She laughed when the media asked if she was going to the border, then laughed at parents who want their kids back in school. Laughing at problems has been Harris’s chief public contribution to the administration so far.
Biden’s chief contribution has been to make terrible decisions and get Americans to argue about them. Unity!

The Covid-19 vaccine manufactured by Pfizer has been shown to be 91.3 percent effective against infection even after six months according to findings released by the company.
The findings come from a growing body of data on how volunteers in the shot’s late-stage trials are responding to the vaccine. The data determined whether or not the volunteers contracted Covid with or without symptoms. That the vaccine still proved to be so effective after six months is an excellent sign it may last even longer.
Wall Street Journal:
Pfizer said it hopes to provide more information on protection beyond six months in the coming weeks. The companies said they planned to continue

If you watch TV crime shows, you would think the Federal Bureau of Investigation works tirelessly to protect us from terrorists and criminals. But the real FBI is a much less impressive organization.
After the horrendous Colorado shooting last week, we learned that the alleged shooter, Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, had a record of violence and arrests. His brother described him as mentally ill, paranoid and “very anti-social.” He was also on the FBI’s radar because of someone with whom he associated.
In this, Alissa joins a long list of “known-wolf” killers, including Nidal Hasan, the Fort Hood shooter; the Tsarnaev brothers,

NEW YORK - A federal appeals court on Thursday rejected New York City's effort to hold five major oil companies liable to help pay the costs of addressing harm caused by global warming.
Ruling in favor of BP Plc, Chevron Corp, ConocoPhillips, Exxon Mobil Corp and Royal Dutch Shell Plc, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan said the regulation of greenhouse gas emissions should be addressed under federal law and international treaties.
It rejected the city's efforts to sue under state nuisance law for damages caused by the companies' "admittedly legal" production and sale of fossil fuels,

Historically, there have been very few hate crimes directed against Asians–just 4.4 percent of hate crimes based on race or ethnicity in the FBI’s most recent report. Lately, though, there has been an uptick, reflected in several highly-publicized and vicious attacks.
Democratic Party news sources have absurdly tried to blame anti-Asian crimes on President Trump. NBC News, for example:
Karthick Ramakrishnan, founder and director of demographic data and policy research nonprofit AAPI Data, told NBC Asian America that while the uptick cannot be entirely attributed to the Trump administration’s incendiary, racist rhetoric about the coronavirus…

I missed this statement from last night when writing up Biden’s comments earlier about MLB moving the All-Star Game out of Georgia to protest the new election law. If there’s any Democrat with more sway than President Joe over how corporate America behaves in GA, it’s Abrams, the rising star whose turnout machine delivered three shocking Democratic victories last year and who’s become the most visible voting-rights advocate in the country. Is this enough to make Major League Baseball and other industries, like Hollywood, think twice?
Even if it isn’t, it’s a smart play by someone who’s going to run for office again next year.

Footage of a Jewish family, including a one-year old baby, in Manhattan being attacked by a man carrying a knife surfaced on Thursday, which appears to have been unprovoked. In the video, a man carrying an umbrella walks past the Hasidic couple and their baby in a stroller, until he turns and attacks the couple from behind, slashing both the mother and father. Upon stepping away from the suspect, the man also slashed at the baby, injuring her chin, according to the New York Post, citing local police. The couple then ran off as the man continued to chase them.
