[My ongoing reunification commentaries saga with The Union augments what we’ve discovered in these pages – that grassroots leftwingers have no clue about the kind of America that their elite leadership has chosen for us, and are now implementing through a bevy of misguided policies not experienced in decades.  They’re ignorant of it because their more recent schooling did not reveal collectivist objectives, or because they only consume lamestream outlets which dutifully deny that the Democrats seek to instill the trappings of collectivism in the America they intend to uniformly pauper (equity) with their socialist nostrums.  These assume the classic historical format of the Left, applied devastatingly over the last century, that includes summarily politicizing science, education, and economics to fit their overarching narrative.  gjr]

    The article didn’t mention that those 2 guards were fired for their actions, which lead to a (self-inflicted) death. You’d think that the WLM movement would demand the heads of those 2 (non-white) guards. At least I’d think that. But what do I know.

    Well Walt. For $200,000 each to look away, what’s Epstein to them anyway. Some say he never died, other say he never will.
    Now Bill Gates is caught seeking Epstein’s companionship AFTER Jeffrey was convicted for sex with a minor, not a federal offense. First day of trial and that was the end of things, if you catch my drift. Stuff movie mysteries are made of, without the good guy saving the day.
    And to think Ann Coulter was the one sounding the alarm on that guy well before the first trial and Trump threw his ass out of Key Largo the first time he tried to get handsy with the female staff in the sauna.
    But, if you listen to the insane Left, Epstein was Trump’s buddy, lol. Gotta love the Clinton-Epstein Lolita Express and that portrait they found of Bubba in a blue dress greeting you went you walk into the entry of Epstein’s NY Mansion.

    The poll asked Americans how much they trust “traditional” or “established” media, which includes outlets like the Washington Post, New York Times, NPR, or CBS News.
    40% of respondents said that they didn’t trust traditional media. Just 15% said that they had “a lot of trust” in traditional media, while 25% said that they had “quite a bit of trust.”
    28% said that they had “little trust” in traditional media, and 25% had no trust at all, the survey found”

    Looks like creepy grampa joes open border crap is not passing muster –
    That guidance, issued in February, narrows enforcement priorities to recent border crossers, national security threats and “aggravated felons.” While those outside of those categories are not ruled out from arrest or deportation, agents need pre-approval from superiors to arrest them.
    That guidance for ICE was issued after Texas had sued the Biden administration over an initial plan to impose a 100-day moratorium on deportations. Texas won the lawsuit, and earlier this month the Biden administration announced it had abandoned the policy after the 100 day period had passed – marking the first legal victory for the GOP states.
    “This is a big win for Texas and the nation. It sends a clear message to the Biden administration that they will not be able to violate federal immigration law and endanger the lives of Texans,” Texas AG Ken Paxton said in a statement last week. “This Administration’s failed policies have only exacerbated the crisis at our southern border, and further exhausted the regular duties of our law enforcement officers.”
    Having shot down the deportation moratorium, the states are now hoping to shut down other parts of the Biden immigration agenda – including the ICE rules they say amounts to the same policy as the deportation moratorium. The new ICE guidance has coincided with a dramatic decrease of arrests and deportations and the discovery process triggered by the lawsuit led to the release of an email that showed that ICE officials predicted such a drop in arrests would occur.
    As part of that, the states have also been able to begin deposing officials, the first depositions of which were released this month — including an ICE official saying that the reason for the narrowing of enforcement was not due to limited resources, as the administration had claimed.

    For my two cents I really would like to have any liberal reader defend CNN, MSNBC, or any of the other lamestream outlets as being reliable news sources. Every night Tucker presents a list of questions on national and world events that any self-respecting journalist would ask, and no one working for the lamestream makes a peep while the continue spouting the lies of the Democrat Party line.

    George 8:58 – I’m reading ‘Breaking The News’ by A. Marlow. A lot in the book has already been covered but much is new to me. As he points out – CNN, MSDNC, NYTs etal no longer have any interest in trying to cover or investigate anything that might reflect badly on the left in general and the Dems in particular. Their ‘self respect’ comes from aiding the side of good and helping to defeat those who they see as the enemy. It goes beyond a lack of curiosity and plainly extends into flat out spreading lies.

Now, The Federalist has reported that the reason Kennedy resigned was that he wasn’t leftist enough for the campus, particularly on the issue of diversity, even though he hired UC’s first chief diversity officer and secured a $5 million fund of race-based initiatives, including a program that offered in-state tuition for members of Colorado’s indigenous tribes.
    UC’s Vice President of Communications Ken McConnellogue defended Kennedy to The Federalist, telling the outlet Kennedy also “contributed $1 million in his own funds for a school of medicine scholarship for students in underrepresented communities.”

    PaulE 1041pm – Not sure whether this was another diversion, or you simply didn’t know the answer to my 858pm. Scott’s 1026pm does provide an explanation that completely explains away the function of the lamestream and its reporting practice, including its calls to shut down opposing voices. Today the lamestream fills all the functions of a partisan propaganda organ. You can’t counter that with a similar description of outlets like FN which regularly take/took Republicans and Trump to task. We are in a precipitous descent.

One who think that if the virus jumped from bats to humans, there would have been months (or years) of infected cases leading up to the sudden epidemic. One would also think that a secondary host of SARS-2 from bats to humans would have been found by now, but none has been discovered. So, out of the blue with no explanation or cases trickling in prior, SARS 2 jumped one day from bats directly to humans.

    “These trips, which shed light on Hunter’s involvement with his father, are revealed in Breaking the News: Exposing the Establishment Media’s Hidden Deals and Secret Corruption, my new book exploring the corruption that drove the establish media to cover up the Hunter Biden scandal.”
    ” The New York Times, for example, published a story in 2020 portraying Hunter as a skilled artist who was mastering painting. The article, headlined “There’s a New Artist in Town. The Name Is Biden,” un-ironically featured glossy photographs of a relaxed and polished Hunter Biden working away in his studio.”
    “The American public has been told consistently that Hunter Biden is as pure as the driven snow. Joe Biden called his son “the smartest guy I know.” Dr. Jill Biden (Ed.D.) and Joe both expressed confidence that Hunter had done nothing wrong. And, of course, Joe said he thought it was all Russian disinformation. And of course, Facebook and Twitter famously censored bombshell reporting by the New York Post on Hunter Biden that has not been proven to be “Russian” or “disinfo.””
    “Did any of those in the media who supported the suppression of the Hunter Biden email story investigate exactly where Hunter was going on these trips and with whom? Not as far as I can tell. NBC News, the Washington Post, the Washington Post again, Politico, the New York Times, MSNBC, PBS, NPR, CBS News, CNN, Rolling Stone, Business Insider, Newsweek, USA Today, Mother Jones, Vox, and more all indulged the Democrat disinformation campaign that protected the Bidens and the dishonest tech elite.
    That there was hard evidence to the contrary didn’t seem to matter to the people who had an election to win and a public to misinform.”

    “America, love it or leave it! . . . Just leave . . . Get the hell out! We don’t want you here.”
    And who would take the place of those exiled Trump supporters? Joe had the answer: “millions of immigrants who will come here.” According to Scarborough, those immigrants will “salute the flag and, most importantly, they will fight for what that flag represents.”
