Progressives Are Using Black Americans
to Experiment With Communism | Opinion
Posted By: Beardo, 12/16/2021 9:06:11 PM
Being Black in America today is a lot like being a football: Your identity is thrown around a lot, and you have no control over who is throwing it, or where. Modern politics seems to require one claim to help Black people in order to gain traction. Unfortunately, claiming to help and actually helping are two different things. And what we're seeing on the progressive Left is the use of Black Americans as an experimental lab for what can only be called a communist utopian fever dream. I call it communist because it's based on the kind of leveling of the playing field that Marx promoted.

The editor of a British medical journal that published a Wuhan lab-linked scientist's letter disparaging coronavirus lab-leak theories said it took more than a year to get him to admit his conflict of interest.
The Lancet editor Dr. Richard Horton testified before Parliament members Wednesday about the letter signed by EcoHealth Alliance president Dr. Peter Daszak – whose nonprofit has funded coronavirus research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology for years – that "strongly condemn[ed] conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin."
Two teachers in a California school district are accused of coaching a student into coming out as transgender behind the backs of the student’s parents, according to video footage circulating on social media.
School staff reportedly changed the student’s name and pronouns and also called Child Protective Services (CPS) when the parents objected to the transition, according to a twitter thread by LibsofTikTok posted early Thursday morning, which included video of the parents addressing the school board of the Spreckels Union School District on Wednesday.
We have followed the story of the FBI raid on James O’Keefe and associates of Project Veritas in a series of posts under the heading “The O’Keefe Project.” The most recent of these posts is dated November 24. The FBI conducted these raids in the style to which we became accustomed in the case of Roger Stone and appears to have followed them up with leaks to its friends at the New York Times.
The New York Times has now published its fifth story on the investigation of O’Keefe et al. in connection with their possession of the diary of Ashley Biden.

The Real War on Women is From the Left
20 replies
Remember how the left not long ago went on and on and on about the supposed “war on women” from the right? The irony is that according to current leftist dogma, women no longer exist. After all, the Biden Administration’s Department of Health and Human Services is insisting in referring to mothers (once understood as a significant subset of beings known as “women”) as “birthing persons,” because current leftist dogma says man can have babies, too. Which means women no long have anything naturally distinctive about them.
Christine Rosen dilates this problem wonderfully in the current issue of Commentary in “The New Misogyny.” Key bit:
Pro-life women and men alike usually laugh when they hear the term “feminist” being used to describe a pro-abortion man. But seeing as though it’s women who these “feminist” men are trying to impress the most, it is conservative women in particular who especially get a kick out of the absurdity of them actually thinking they’re dazzling anyone with their virtue signaling outside of the people in their like-minded liberal circles on the matter.
That virtue signaling, of course, is wildly self-serving for reasons which should be obvious to everyone but which – shockingly enough – aren’t to some.

A former senior FBI lawyer who falsified a surveillance document in the Trump-Russia investigation has been restored as a member in "good standing" by the District of Columbia Bar Association even though he has yet to finish serving out his probation as a convicted felon, according to disciplinary records obtained by RealClearInvestigations.
The move is the latest in a series of exceptions the bar has made for Kevin Clinesmith, who pleaded guilty in August 2020 to doctoring an email used to justify a surveillance warrant targeting former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
Responsible? Who, Me?

Joe Biden ran for president largely by blaming President Trump for the fact that people were dying from (or more often, with) covid. Biden said Trump was responsible for all of those deaths. But now, of course, more people have died with covid during the Biden administration than during Trump’s. So is Biden responsible for those deaths?
One White House reporter–I assume it was Peter Doucy–had the temerity to ask that question, and he followed up with a question about China’s role. Biden’s response? A smirk and a wave of the hand:
The only black juror in the Jussie Smollett case said he found the case “sad” and said that the actor staged an attack on himself, ABC 7 reported.
Andre Hope was the only black juror in the Jussie Smollett case where Smollett was found guilty for lying to Chicago police after he staged an allegedly racist, homophobic attack on himself, ABC 7 reported. Hope said he has two sons around Smollett’s age and took no pleasure in finding the former “Empire” actor guilty despite overwhelming evidence against him.
A top adviser to Attorney General Merrick Garland is facing calls to recuse herself from the Justice Department's investigation of the Trump-Russia probe, which has looked into the actions of her husband, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan.
Margaret Goodlander serves as counsel to Garland, who oversees Special Counsel John Durham's investigation. Garland has oversight of Durham's budget, the scope of the investigation, and the release of a report Durham is believed to be writing. Sullivan, who married Goodlander in 2015, has been referenced in Durham's indictment of a cybersecurity lawyer who worked for the Clinton campaign.
Kim Kardashian, Esq.? As of Monday, she's one step closer.
The entrepreneur and "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star announced on Instagram that after two years of studying and three attempts at taking it, she has passed the California "baby bar" exam, also known as the First-Year Law Students' Examination, according to the California State Bar website.
Jussie's Just the Black Hillary
7 replies
Jussie Smollett and Hillary Clinton have a lot in common. They both faked crimes in order to achieve personal glory. They continue to cause unnecessary and bitter division by refusing to take any responsibility for their actions. And neither of them is nearly as talented in their respective professions as each believes.
It's a surreal thing to watch people who walk through life with such little regard for truth or virtue that they manage to seem even more haughty and spiteful when their lies are occasionally called out.

The coronavirus will hit millions of Americans in a "viral blizzard" within a few weeks as infections from the Omicron variant pile on top of Delta, an expert predicts. Already, hospitalizations are rising as the holiday season gets into full swing. Long lines for Covid-19 testing formed Thursday in metro areas, including New York, Boston and Miami. The Delta variant remains a problem. And Omicron, with its high transmissibility, could strike millions more soon, said Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota.

Donald Trump's Energy Secretary Rick Perry was revealed on Friday to be the person who texted Mark Meadows with an 'aggressive' plan to have Republican-controlled state legislatures overturn Joe Biden's election victory. CNN revealed Perry as the person behind the text, which was read publicly - but anonymously - on the House floor this week during the vote on holding Meadows in contemp of Congress.
A spokesman for the former Texas governor, however, denied it was Perry's number to the network.
I am not sure who told Chevrolet that what we really needed this Christmas was to ugly cry over an ad they produced for the holidays, but whoever it was needs to go sit in the corner and think about what they’ve done.
You may have seen the shortened version of this ad, titled “Holiday Ride,” on TV. But you don’t get the full emotional impact without seeing the extended four-minute version, which is a tear-jerker and hit me harder than listening to my child ask me why Mufasa wasn’t waking up. [Video]
All the jokes aside, this ad is possibly one of the most needed
In a recent op-ed, the New York Times demanded that all sports leagues shut down for “public health” over the fear of the Omicron variant of the coronavirus.
“It’s time to press pause on games, matches, and meets,” the Times piously exclaimed in its editorial. “If we’re genuinely interested in public health, genuinely invested in slowing the virus and saving lives, we need to look at the storm that has gathered and take shelter from it.
“Come back in February, or later,” the so-called “paper of record” advised.
The Times went on to suggest new policies for all sports leagues, including a long break followed by mask-wearing.
Mary Anne Franks, an actual law professor at the University of Miami School, has proposed a “redo” of the First Amendment in a Boston Globe oped. (She likewise proposed a “redo” of the Second Amendment, but perhaps that's better handled separately.) The first and most important of the amendments, she writes, is “deeply flawed” in its conceptualization “of some of the most important rights of a democratic society: the freedom of expression and religion.” The amendment as it stands now, Franks adds, it’s “highly susceptible to being read in isolation from the Constitution as a whole and from its commitments
The California Department of Education is facing questions over why it is paying a six figure salary to an individual who has been tasked with overseeing “equity” initiatives in the state’s schools despite his residing in Philadelphia which is over 2,500 miles away.
According to a report by Politico, Daniel Lee, who is described as a “psychologist, life coach and self-help author,” was hired to serve as California’s first superintendent of equity, a capacity that he has served in since last summer where he pulls down a salary of “up to $179,832” despite a resume that “shows no prior experience in California or relationships with school districts in the state.”
Olivia and Amy are sitting outside in the shade, trying to escape from New Zealand’s early-summer humidity. Amy, 10 months old, burbles happily in the background as her mother talks. She is healthy, happy, and oblivious to her status as a world first: one of a handful of babies born from the first sperm bank for HIV-positive donors. The bank, Sperm Positive, launched in New Zealand in 2019, in an effort to reduce the stigma faced by HIV-positive people—and raise awareness that with treatment, the virus was undetectable and untransmissible. It grabbed international headlines when it was launched, but has been more than a publicity gimmick.

GOP blows off Trump’s bid to oust McConnell
21 replies
Former President Donald Trump has hit a wall in his efforts to oust Mitch McConnell as GOP leader.
Despite months of attacks, the Trump-led campaign to depose the Senate minority leader has resulted in firm pledges from just two Republican candidates and no senators, and it has failed to turn up a formidable challenger to run against McConnell.
Inside the Capitol, conservative senators shrug at the question, revealing a lack of appetite even among the GOP’s anti-establishment wing and continued strong support for McConnell as leader.
Kamala Harris on Friday appeared to blame scientists for the United States' failure to be better prepared for Omicron - insisting that the virologists 'upon whose advice and direction we have relied' were blind to the next wave.Harris, in an interview with The Los Angeles Times, said that the Biden administration 'didn't see' Delta and Omicron coming. 'We didn't see Delta coming,' Harris told the paper. 'I think most scientists did not - upon whose advice and direction we have relied - didn't see Delta coming.' Harris spoke as the Omicron variant has been spreading nationwide, with 39 states now having detected cases as of late Friday,
Jake West was a seemingly healthy 17-year-old when he collapsed during high school football practice in Indiana and died of sudden cardiac arrest. A video widely shared online falsely suggests COVID-19 vaccination is to blame, weaving headlines about him into a rapid-fire compilation of news coverage about athletes collapsing. The vaccine played no role in West’s death — he died from an undiagnosed heart condition in 2013, seven years before the pandemic began. The video is just one example of many similar compilations circulating on the internet that use deceptive tactics to link vaccines to a supposed wave of deaths,
President Joe Biden condemned attacks on voter rights as 'unAmerican' on Friday as he delivered a commencement speech at South Carolina State University. His visit was in part a favor to his ally Rep. Jim Clyburn, who helped resurrect Biden's faltering primary campaign in South Carolina last year. But he also used it to attack the Republican 'assault' on voting rights and to implore his audience to become leaders and business owners investing in their own communities, and helping raise the number of government contracts going to entrepreneurs from minority groups.(Snip)'But all kidding aside, of course, President Harris is a proud Howard alum,' he said in his opening remarks.
