White supremacist hysteria has reached fever pitch among the progressive socialists. Commenter BillT @ 835am cites (here) the dean of Arizona State University who announced that characteristics of precision, timeliness, quality expression (e.g. good written English), good work ethic, etc are all part and parcel of “white racial habitus” which perpetuates “white language supremacy” which means “it’s inherently white and racist”. By the dean’s logic, then ‘black racial habitus’ that perpetuates black behavioral characteristics is inherently black and racist. (more here)
Covid science and disinformation is discussed by Dr Scott W Atlas MD, Hoover Institution senior fellow, former professor and head of neuroradiology at Stanford. He recently gained a furious notoriety in the eyes of all Democrats and their lamestream lackies for serving as a C19 advisor to President Trump. In the Feb 2021 Imprimus he asks ‘Science, Politics, and COVCID: Will Truth Prevail?’ I cite his short and very informative essay as another cogent summary of my own stance on the nature of the C19 pandemic and the various disastrous government response policies to the disease. From all of my readings (also see below), the clear answer to Dr Atlas’s question is NO!
Fact-checking the fact checkers. Today it is easy to make the case that media giants are “employing left-wing vetters to limit scientific debate”. The work of fact checking by leftwingers primarily focuses on cherry picking a supporting counter-opinion report or two and using it to dun any scientific opinion that does not support the command/control narrative prescribing government diktats opposing federalist responses to the C19 pandemic. The whole enterprise of fact checking is based on the Mega Lie that science speaks but with one voice. The ‘one voice’ chosen by the ‘progressive health clerisy’ is then labeled consensus science to which all the hoi polloi must kowtow when thinking properly about such politicized issues as global warming and C19.

[7mar21 update] Islam's goal in/for America. Over the years in these pages I have been very clear and explicit about my assessment as to the objective of the Islamic diaspora, especially as it is directed toward America and its western culture. The fundamental task of all expatriate Muslims is to be missionaries and bring the infidels into the embrace of Allah and his prophet Muhammad, to whatever destination they emigrate. Practiced as a temporary and necessary ruse, assimilation into their host country’s culture is the last thing on their mind. Here is a video of a talk on Islam’s goal for America given by a very sober Muslim woman – Download Received_938000470288815. (H/T to correspondent)
George Floyd died of a fentanyl overdose and NOT due to police brutality. The four policmen involved followed the training book and policy to the letter as attested by a continuous police bodycam video (here). The 31may20 autopsy report showed that Floyd had almost 3 times a potential lethal dose of the drug in his system, and that he was already dying of fluid filling his lungs when the police encountered him. The real question is why this information was kept until 25 August after three months of looting, rioting, and murder across the nation. And given the overwhelming evidence, why are the policemen still being tried for doing nothing wrong?
[11mar21 update] Nevada County Trembles. The Board of Supervisors failed to pass an already lame and vanilla resolution (here) that asks Sacramento to behave more responsibly and competently toward Nevada County. Along with other small rural counties, we have gotten screwed by the policies foisted on the state by Gavin Newsom. I, along with many other local citizens, have encouraged the supes to step up and make our voices heard – to wit we want more local control of our C19 responses, and we don’t want to get screwed by the state in its distribution of vaccines, federal funds, etc that are supposed help pay for our pandemic related expenses. It turns out that at last Tuesday’s BoS meeting, the supes were too timid to pass the proposed resolution, and instead they tabled it. When are we finally going to get the courage to make a simple peep to protest the crap that keeps coming down from Sacramento?
