Austin, Texas, enjoys a well-deserved image as a cool and rapidly growing city, with great food, nightlife, a booming tech industry, the University of Texas, and major events such as Austin City Limits music festival, South by Southwest, and Formula 1. But over the past two years it has gained a new reputation: a city with a homelessness crisis, fueled by a misbegotten “camping” policy.
On July 1, 2019, a public-camping ordinance took effect that made unregulated, open public camping lawful in nearly all public spaces in Austin. The consequences were profound immediately.
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said Sunday he is not getting vaccinated because he already had Covid-19. Speaking with a conservative radio host on WABC radio, Paul, an Ophthalmologist, said he won't change his mind unless he sees evidence that people who have already been infected are again getting very sick, needing hospitalization or dying.
"Until they show me evidence that people who have already had the infection are dying in large numbers, or being hospitalized or getting very sick, I just made my own personal decision that I’m not getting vaccinated because I’ve already had the disease and I have natural immunity," Paul said.
Phil Mickelson made history.The 50-year-old became the oldest golfer to win a major when he claimed the PGA Championship on Sunday.The previous record was held by Julius Boros, who won the 1968 PGA Championship at 48 years old.Mickelson wrapped up his 73 with a par on the 72nd hole as the fans erupted with wild cheers at the Ocean Course. After successfully hitting the winning putt, Mickelson raised his arms in celebration, and then hugged his brother, Tim, who was his caddie. Mickelson finished at 6-under 282 for the tournament.
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) hit the bar this weekend and violated her own coronavirus orders, according to a photo Breitbart News has exclusively obtained.
Whitmer and a large group of friends, including her appointed chief operations officer, Tricia Foster, visited the Landshark in East Lansing, violating her restaurant orders in the process, according to a photo one of the attendees posted on Facebook. The photo, posted Saturday, was part of a montage. Shortly after, Whitmer’s friend deleted the collage and reposted it sans the governor and one of her top aides: The group shot of 13 individuals appeared to violate the governor’s restaurant capacity order issued May 15
The vast majority of the late Rush Limbaugh’s fans are under no illusions that anyone in the talk radio business now or at any time in the near future can replace his combo of political insight, wit, humor, and analysis.The reality is, no one in the conservative talk radio industry is going to try to replace Rush. They know better than anyone that it simply can’t be done: How do you replace a human being so good at what he did he literally is irreplaceable? Nevertheless, there is a talk show host who will be moving into Limbaugh’s old time slot, 12 noon-3 p.m. Monday through Friday,
A physician’s message about low pediatric deaths from COVID-19 was blocked from Facebook for violating “community standards on spam.” Dr. Tracy Høeg, sports, spine, and regenerative medicine doctor responded to a poster’s question about the infant mortality rate due to COVID.
Dr. Høeg told users following her account that there were 19 infant deaths due to COVID in April, a number that is rapidly declining.
“Part of the reason I have (for the most part) left Facebook is they delete my post/responses that are factual, which I triple check,” she wrote. “I was responding to a question about what the number of pediatric deaths were due to COVID
According to a handful of critical race theory proponents who want the controversial worldview to be taught in schools and dominate our society, reason must be rejected and the United States Constitution should be “burned.”
You can see a clip of their discussion here. In the clip, one of the CRT supporters calls for both the rejection of reason and the end of the American Constitution. The four CRT backers involved in the conversation are Alfred “Shivy” Brooks, candidate for city council in Atlanta; Dr. Kate Slater, a recruiter for a leading prep school; and Louiza “Weeze” Doran.

The Texas legislature thinks Critical Race Theory isn’t…critical.
To teach, that is.
On Saturday, the state Senate passed a bill banning such curriculum. Eleven days prior, the House affirmed HB3979 by a vote of 79-65.
As noted by the The Texas Tribune, “The support in the chamber came over opposition from dozens of education, business and community groups.”
One foe: Mark Wiggins, lobbyist for the Association of Professional Educators.
To hear him tell it, the ban’s downright disrespectful: As for Senate affirmation, it was no surprise — the upper chamber had already given the Thumbs Up to a similar proposal.
Joe Biden will not include student loan forgiveness in his upcoming Budget, after pledging to cancel $10,000 from loans on the campaign trail.
Biden is due to announce his latest budget at the end of next week, and claims he has grown suspicious of wiping out the loans. The shift in policy is a major blow for the more than 42 million Americans who have student loans. Biden had been pressured by progressives in the Democrat Party including Elizabeth Warren and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to forgive up to $50,000 in debt. Chuck Schumer, the Senate Majority Leader, was also in favor.
Video captured the horrifying moment a woman was stabbed in an unprovoked attack on the subway before a passing journalist jumped in to save her.
The stabbing unfolded at Union Square station on Wednesday night when 54-year-old Kelli Daley was jumped by a man identified as 22-year-old Joshua Nazario. Police said Nazario slashed Daley across her left shoulder, collarbone, and upper chest while she was waiting on the southbound N, Q, R platform for the train around 10.10pm.

A Florida distillery says its requests to promote a "Back the Blue" event through paid advertising on Facebook has been repeatedly denied by the social media platform. Loaded Cannon Distillery, located in Lakewood Ranch in Bradenton, Florida, is preparing to launch a new line of spirits dedicated to different groups of first responders.
"We're launching this Lost Legend series because they are legends, all of them," Loaded Cannon Distillery marketing and creative director Michelle Russell told FOX & Friends Weekend in an interview on Sunday. "First responders, EMTs, police, firefighters, anybody that wears a badge, and they deserve some recognition."
Three researchers at a Chinese lab that has been scrutinized as the possible origin point of the coronavirus pandemic went to the hospital due to an illness in November 2019, according to a new report.The Wall Street Journal, which cited current and former US officials, reported that the intelligence gathered by “an international partner” expands on a State Department document confirming that workers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology fell ill with symptoms “consistent with both Covid-19 and common seasonal illness” in fall 2019.The officials were split on the strength of the intelligence, with one telling the Journal it needed more corroboration and another saying it was “of exquisite quality”
For the past four years, there was no greater laughingstock in the American foreign policy cognoscenti than Jared Kushner. A full-on consensus reigned that cast the previous administration's Middle East policies as hopelessly ignorant and one-sided, a view that went unchallenged in the smart set's Op-Ed pages. There was no easier laugh to be had, no quicker way to pull a nodding agreement, than to mock the intelligence and good will of the former president's son-in-law, charged with crafting an American peace plan, and obviously in way over his head.
Phil Mickelson won the 2021 PGA Championship on Sunday at the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island Golf Resort in South Carolina. In doing so, the 50-year-old Mickelson became the oldest to win a major. The win was Mickelson’s sixth career major, and his second PGA Championship. Mickelson also won the PGA Championship in 2005 at Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, N.J. His other major wins include the Masters (2004, 2006, 2010) and British Open (2013).Louis Oosthuizen and Brooks Koepka chased Mickelson in Sunday’s final round but finished tied for second, two strokes back. According to ESPN, Mickeslon “hadn’t won since 2019 at Pebble Beach,
A $47,000-a-year private school once attended by Barron Trump forced juniors to attend a compulsory workshop on porn, whose subjects included incest roleplay and OnlyFans. The students at Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School (CGPS) on Manhattan's Upper West Side were told to watch a slideshow entitled, 'Pornography Literacy: An intersectional focus on mainstream porn.' That workshop was held on May 5 by Justine Ang Fonte, the director of Health & Wellness at another Manhattan private school, Dalton, where she teaches first- and second-grade health.
Lansing — Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer issued an apology Sunday after a photo emerged showing her at a restaurant with 12 other people gathered around tables pushed together in violation of her health department's current epidemic order. The May 15 order from the state Department of Health and Human Services says no more than six people can be seated together and groups of patrons must be six feet apart. The conservative news outlet Breitbart first reported the photo Sunday.
Hallandale Beach, Fla—Police are investigating after, they said a man hurled antisemitic remarks to a rabbi outside a Hallandale Beach synagogue and later emptied a bag of human feces, the latest in a string of incidents that have raised concerns in South Florida’s Jewish community. Cellphone video captured the man on an electric bicycle as he went on a rant outside the Chabad of South Broward, along East Hallandale Beach Boulevard, at around 12:30 p.m., Friday.(Snip) Police said the subject returned some time later and spit at the menorah located near the sidewalk in front of the building.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki seemed to admit late last week that, contrary to what actually happened, as far as President Joe Biden is concerned a “number” of U.S. Capitol Police officers died on the day of the Jan. 6th riot at the U.S. Capitol.She offered the unusual admission after being asked by CNN’s Kaitlan Collins to remark on an emotional letter recently written to all members of the U.S. government by a Capitol police officer who’d been injured during the riot.“I’m happy to check on the status of the letter. Obviously, the president’s view is that there are a number of officers who lost their lives, paid a
The steaks are too high! About two-thirds of US shoppers say the prices of red meat and chicken have soared since the start of the year, according to a new poll. Meat lovers have been hit hardest by rising food costs out of the 2,000 grocery shoppers surveyed between May 17 and May 19, Bloomberg reported. The poll, which was conducted by Morning Consult, found that around 65 percent said that red meat is more expensive now, while about 59 percent said that chicken has become pricier. Meanwhile, more than half of the shoppers said that fruit, toilet paper, milk and prepared foods also cost more.
In Detroit, auto plants have for decades churned out trucks built with Motor City steel and fueled by gasoline. But this week’s rollout of the Ford F-150 Lightning electric truck offered a vision of the future in America’s automotive heartland: aluminum-clad pickups running off of electric powertrains with lithium batteries. (Snip) “There’s no EV pickup market at the moment, so we just don’t know how big it could be, or what consumer acceptance will be,” she said. Truck consumers are generally unwilling to switch to cars just to go electric, Krebs said. So pitching them on the Lightning not only
A member of the House didn’t cast a proxy vote for a fellow congressman on the Democrat-backed $1.9 billion Capitol security spending bill because it slipped his mind, according to a spokesperson.
A spokesperson for Rep. Ken Calvert (R-Calif.) told Just the News that “Calvert had been voting by proxy” for Rep. John Carter (R-Texas) “throughout the week” before the vote was held. It came just days after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) extended the COVID-19 vote-by-proxy mandate for several more weeks, which was criticized by Republicans.
But for the vote on the $1.9 billion package on May 20, “Rep. Calvert made a mistake and simply forgot to
Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Joe Biden is working to lift sanctions on Iran even though Iran funds terror around the world. President Trump withdrew from Obama’s disastrous and dangerous Iran nuke deal, imposed sanctions on Iran and killed their top General Qasem Soleimani.Now the Biden Administration, colloquially referred to as Obama’s 3rd term, is working to lift sanctions on Iran. Blinken told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on Sunday that Biden will continue to negotiate with Iran even thought they are funding Hamas terrorists.
NYT Warns Dems: BLM Is A Loser
replies
Don't you luv it when liberals get bitten in the ass by their own hoaxes?
In a major story today the NYT seems to be warning Dems to back off the BLM hoax, because it's about to cost them dearly. An unspoken subtext--because it cuts too close to the ideological heart of the left--could be that years of White Privilege and White Supremacist hate narratives from the Left are coming home to roost. Riots? Sky high murder rates? It seems the NYT hasn't even heard of those aspects of the BLM phenomenon, but I'm betting everyone else has.
The story goes under this totally daft question:

A reputed gang member who used a stolen car to permanently disable an NYPD cop was busted for reckless driving in another ride he’d allegedly swiped early Sunday — with just weeks left to go on his parole, The Post has learned.Justin Murrell, 19, allegedly blew through a red light in Brooklyn and led cops on a high-speed chase before smashing into several parked cars near Van Sinderen and New Lots avenues in East New York, law-enforcement sources said.The teenage ex-con — a reputed member of the Eight Trey Crips gang — then tried to run away, but was caught and taken into custody around 1:20 a.m., sources said.
Joe Biden will skip a commencement ceremony traditionally attended by presidents amid a row over his pro-abortion views at the Catholic university. Biden's administration will be the first since Bill Clinton's to skip the University of Notre Dame's commencement ceremony, after more than 4,000 students and alumni signed a petition urging school officials not to invite the president over his pro-choice view on abortion. A White House official told the Catholic News Agency on May 11 that the president was invited to give a commencement speech and receive an honorary degree from the school but would not attend due to a scheduling conflict.
Nearly 30 people have been shot across New York City this weekend — with nearly half a day left to go, law-enforcement sources told The Post on Sunday.As of around 2 p.m. Sunday, 29 victims had been struck by gunfire — one fatally — since Friday, with 11 wounded in just the hours after Saturday ended, sources said. A veteran NYPD source blamed most of the shootings on gang warfare, saying, “These kids are having running gun battles and innocents are getting shot.”“Nobody is interested in hearing how many shots are fired but if people knew how many shootings occurred where there are no victims
The Trump administration’s Abraham Accords were based on a new policy direction to assemble an alliance of mid-east partners against generational violence in the region. The objective was clear and the approach was based on isolating the Palestinian terror approach and forcing them to come to the table under the goal of permanent peace.
The Arab states and Israel were successfully moving forward using the Abraham Accord approach. Unfortunately the ideology of the JoeBama administration is aligned with supporting the Palestinian terror groups, which includes Hamas, and the larger issue, Iran. The activist network behind Biden are in full support of Iranian funded terror groups. They have

BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors had once referred to police as a "terrorist organization" and says she always wanted to fight them. Cullors said this back in 2015 while she was "speaking to students at King's College London as part of the Ferguson Solidarity Tour of the UK." Patrisse Cullors said: “I joined organization when I was 17 years old, and I remember the first thing I said to the organization was “do you fight police?” That’s what I wanted to do. I always knew I wanted to fight police. They were the single most, sort of, terrorist organization in my life, and I wanted to know how to fight them.” CORRECTION*

A survivor of one of China's modern-day concentration camps has revealed the beatings, rapes and 'disappearances' she witnessed behind the barbed wire. Sayragul Sauytbay was born in China's north-western province and trained as a doctor before being appointed a senior civil servant. As a Kazakh she belonged to one of China's ethnic minorities who lived in what was known as East Turkestan until it was annexed and renamed Xinjiang by Mao Zedong in 1949.
CNN ended its contract with Rick Santorum after the former Republican senator and two-time presidential candidate made “inaccurate” and “racist” remarks about Native Americans, according to a report. A senior CNN executive told the Huffington Post Saturday that the network parted ways with Santorum, a political commentator, earlier this week, even as the former Pennsylvania senator tried to explain his comments that “there was nothing” in the US before the arrival of European colonizers on one of the network’s shows earlier this month. Santorum went on “Cuomo Prime Time” to explain that he “misspoke” in a speech to a conservative youth group

Two people were killed and 12 others wounded in a shooting at a house party in Cumberland County late Saturday night. No arrest have been made in the case, police said. New Jersey State Police responded to a home in the 1000 block of East Commerce Street shortly before midnight to find a 30-year-old man and 25-year-old woman dead of gunshot wounds. Twelve other adults were struck by gunfire and taken to various hospitals. One of those 12 suffered serious injuries and is currently listed in critical condition, police said.(Snip) The victims have not been identified.
Police departments in the Washington area are turning to mental health experts to help handle certain emergencies as they grapple with the role of law enforcement in the post-George Floyd era. Unarmed teams of behavioral health experts in the District soon will be dispatched to certain 911 calls instead of police under a new pilot program. “The sooner we can identify what a person needs—whether that is an ambulance, a doctor’s appointment, or in this case, a visit from a behavioral health expert, the sooner we can help them,” D.C.

For more than a year, honest and impartial scientific exploration of the origins of the Covid-19 virus has been blocked, with consideration of the possibility that it was engineered in the Wuhan Institute of Virology virtually suppressed, mocked as a “conspiracy theory.” This has had enormous real-world consequences, not merely because it let off the hook China – and Dr. Fauci, who approved American money flowing to gain-of-function research there on coronaviruses -- but because “an engineered virus behaves differently from a naturally evolved one, and this has implications for how it can best be fought.”
Four years after the Legislature boosted the gas tax in order to fix California’s crumbling roads and bridges, the state has spent billions and made some progress in repairs, but officials now say the funding is sufficient only to complete less than half of the work needed. The gas tax has been a political hot potato since it was passed in 2017, resulting in the recall of a Democratic state senator who voted for the legislation and an unsuccessful attempt by Republicans in 2018 to ask voters to repeal the higher charges. Now, with the gas tax set to increase
On May 17, the United States Supreme Court reconsidered a prior precedent that for nearly six decades shamefully denied the equal protection of the law to an entire segment of the human family. The year was 1954, the case was Brown v. Board of Education and the precedent overruled was Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), which for 58 years had allowed states to engage in “separate but equal” discrimination on the basis of race. On May 17, 2021, the Court agreed to hear a dispute regarding a younger line of precedents—namely, Roe v. Wade (1973) and Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992)

I’m not the first person to note that whatever Democrats accuse their opponents of doing, it is they, in fact, who are doing it.

Under the banner of “green energy” to control emissions. Germany began shutting down the cleanest emitting power stations: nuclear. In 2000, nuclear had a 29.5 percent share of its power generation mix. In 2020 that share dropped to 11.4 percent and next year every one of its nuclear plants is scheduled to be shut down.
Congress is once again tossing around a piece of legislation that will do more for big government than for Americans. While intended to lower out-of-pocket costs for prescription drugs and treatments, H.R. 3 could take away mature adults’ ability to make their own healthcare decisions and put it in the hands of the federal government.
Government interference not only imposes on the patient-provider relationship, but it also puts mature adults’ health at risk by restricting what treatments should be at their finger tips. Millions of retirees rely on the Medicare program because it provides access to various treatments for chronic conditions, such as cancer, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and other serious illnesses,

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced Saturday he was opening a new grant of Temporary Protected Status for Haitians living in the U.S., saying that country’s unrest is so bad that people shouldn’t be forced to return home. Advocacy groups said perhaps 100,000 Haitians living in the U.S.—many of them illegally—can be protected.
