Seems there is at least one person (female) with integrity, to resign when ordered to set aside the white males from RAF pilot schools. Same as all of the FBI agents over the last 4 years who resigned over the lies disseminated by their bosses. They did resign, didn’t they, or did I miss that?

Many thanks. I found her dissertation. It’s the normal sort of thing that folks in these super-soft disciplines do, although I see that the word ‘black’ appears 1115 times.
Maybe it would be simpler to just give everyone the first name ‘Dr.’ and be done with it.

Lying your ass off is not a good look for a supposed information news chanel and it cost them billions –
Last year, CNN commissioned a survey examining viewer trust and the places where CNN was succeeding and falling short with viewers across the ideological spectrum. According to a partial copy of the report, which hasn’t been revealed before, CNN’s coverage of Covid-19 was the third leading cause of distrust in the network behind liberal bias and “the Chris Cuomo situation.”
Survey respondents of all ideological stripes criticized the network’s “overly dramatic and sensational” and “dire” reporting, the report said.

At least they gave the word ‘vile’ a break.
In normal times, you’d simply give the ‘undocumented Americans’ a nice meal, a place to rest their weary heads for the night, and a return ticket to Mexico or wherever. However, when your plan is to Stick it to the Trumpsters, you march in favor of wet foot/dry foot, make sure that every school has a resident drag queen, surround them with the vexillography of ‘Pride’, give 100%-off sales every day in urban retail for St. Floyds Day.
When you get down to it, it’s also a form of self-harm, so I’m not entirely sure what the point is.
OTOH, maybe it’s kind of refreshing to have newspapers who sound like those immediately prior to 1860. People connect their ids directly to their keyboard in an outpouring of pre-kinetic furor.

re: The Biden Crime Family.
You know how it’s going to go, and as usual.
1) It didn’t happen.
2) It happened but it doesn’t matter.
3) Something about Trump.
The underlying logic is that the ends justify the means and you go with the Gröfaz that you’ve got.

re D B 9:40 – So we have progressed to the point now where the current admin is open to talking about the existence of a “Biden Family Business”. Joe has no idea of what the business might be, of course. He’s never talked to any of the family members about it.
I don’t suppose any of the press would be rude enough to inquire how they would know it poses no natl sec threat if they claim they don’t know what the business is?
It does seem to be progressing along the lines noted by scenes.
Although I think there needs to be a different step 3:
“OK, it did happen and some people might be able to twist it into looking like it does matter, but we have far more important events that actually matter to Americans than wasting time on these mistakes that have happened with all administrations.
Then 4:
