https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/09/its_time_to_end_the_lie_that_a_person_with_a_knife_is_basically_unarmed.html The takeaway point from this blog post is that knife attacks are fast and deadly. When the Lancaster police officer saw a fast-moving schizophrenic coming after him while wielding a big knife, the officer had no choice but to shoot. It was a kill or be killed situation. But once again, the left has taken an unambiguously…

The Lockdown Has Gone From a Mistake to a Crime
https://pjmedia.com/columns/dennis-prager/2020/09/01/the-lockdown-has-gone-from-a-mistake-to-a-crime-n871865? I conclude with the words of a Swedish medical doctor, Sebastian Rushworth: “Covid is over in Sweden. People have gone back to their normal lives and barely anyone is getting infected any more. I am willing to bet that the countries that have shut down completely will see rates spike when they open up….
Conformity to a Lie
https://www.city-journal.org/academia-systemic-racism What if the racism explanation for ongoing disparities is wrong, however? What if racial economic and incarceration gaps cannot close without addressing personal responsibility and family culture—without a sea change in the attitudes that many inner-city black children bring with them to school regarding studying, paying attention in class, and respecting teachers, for example?…
California Apocalypto
https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/08/california-apocalypto/#slide-1 California, as some of the Democratic primary candidates bragged last year, is the progressive model of the future: a once-innovative rich state that is now a civilization in near ruins. The nation should watch us this election year and learn of its possible future. After one of the primary debates in late 2019, I…
Progressive Racism In Practice: The Case Of School Discipline
https://www.manhattancontrarian.com/blog/2020-8-23-progressive-racism-in-practice-the-case-of-school-discipline I would mark down the effort to undermine charter schools and their program of effective student discipline as a prime example of progressive racism in practice. Somehow, progressives can convince themselves that it is the opposite. August 23, 2020/ Francis Menton New

Is this because our Founding Fathers had never heard of the Black Death (1347, multiple) or the Great Plague of Marseille (1720) or the Yellow Fever from the Caribbean (1793) or smallpox (vaccine 1770)? Why, then, did…
The COVID Coup
Worst of all, these authorities, these experts, transferred elderly persons known to be infected with the virus into nursing homes. In Michigan, the authorities even assigned to a nursing home an aide known to be infected with the virus. As a result, the as-yet fully uncounted deaths in these facilities, which house about 1.3 million people…
Growth Without Virtue

In quarantined cities, households are beginning to reorganize themselves along traditional lines, even reviving the cottage industries to produce masks and sanitizer. Telecommuters may not want to return to…
