“Sunnyvale home shatters (Sunnyvale) record with enormous price tag $2 million 2 bed 2 bath 848 sq ft: The small, unassuming home in the Cherry Chase neighborhood was on the market just two days before it sold for $2 million, a whopping $550,000 over its asking price. In this red-hot real estate market, the price tag barely caused a stir. What did was the other number that turned the home into another Bay Area record-breaker: It sold for the highest square-foot price recorded in Sunnyvale — a stunning $2,358, according to MLSListings, which tracks homes sales going back to 2000. The jaw-dropping price tag suggests Sunnyvale, which has traditionally been less expensive than neighboring cities Cupertino or Palo Alto, is becoming a real estate destination in itself.”

Good God.
Isn’t this an allegorical sneak peek into what Silicon Valley has planned for their lesser co-humans, played out daily at each step down the high tech human “pecking order”?

Oof.

WHY ARE LEFTY-DOMINATED MEDIA INSTITUTIONS SUCH CESSPITS OF GROUPTHINK AND ANTI-SEMITISM? Article by Israeli Prompted ‘Big Argument’ Inside New York Times, Editor Says. “In the transcript, published by the Huffington Post, Bennet was asked about matters ‘that shouldn’t even be debated.’ The question came from a Times employee whose name wasn’t disclosed in the transcript, and who cited ‘climate change’ as an example.”
JUSTICE: Brooklyn man wins nearly $1M lawsuit after NYPD cop tried to frame him on DWI charge.
The latest city resident to cash in on police misconduct would raise a glass to toast his victory, except he doesn’t drink.
The NYPD found that out the hard way when cops tried to charge Oliver Wiggins with driving while intoxicated to cover up for a police officer who ran a marked SUV through a Brooklyn stop sign and plowed into Wiggins’ car.
Wiggins, 33, received close to $1 million from the city for his troubles, but not before he was arrested and charged with impaired driving, had his driver’s license suspended and was hit with a repair bill for his 2004 Nissan Maxima that his insurance company would not cover because of the DWI bust.
Never mind that a Breathalyzer test he took at the East Flatbush scene on April 19, 2015, showed no alcohol in his blood.
While at the hospital, after the crash at Glenwood Road and E. 43rd St., Wiggins volunteered to have his blood tested for alcohol or drugs at the hospital. That test came back negative. Reports from the EMT and DWI technician each said Wiggins had no signs of intoxication.
That didn’t stop the arresting officer, Justin Joseph, from officially reporting Wiggins had slurred speech, watery eyes, an odor of alcohol on his breath and was observed swaying. Three months later, prosecutors dismissed the charges. . . .
No charges have been filed against the cops. All of the officers involved are still employed by the department.
And you wonder why people don’t trust the police.
WHY ARE LEFTY-DOMINATED MEDIA INSTITUTIONS SUCH CESSPITS OF RACISM? Lawsuit: YouTube Stopped Hiring White And Asian Males To Improve Corporate Diversity. “Google denies using any quotas in hiring (which would be illegal) and I have no doubt they have an army of lawyers who will ‘vigorously defend’ that stance in court. Still, it’s interesting that people working for different segments of Google seem to be reporting the same kind of intentional discrimination aimed at creating racial and gender equity.”

MARK WHITTINGTON IN THE WSJ: We Need Our Private Space: Trump is setting the stage for commerce in low Earth orbit.
One of the more controversial aspects of President Trump’s new space policy is his plan to privatize the International Space Station. The savings, around $3 billion a year, would be plowed into a lunar exploration program. Under the proposal, the American portion of the ISS would be turned over to a commercial entity.
Sen. Bill Nelson (D., Fla.) is not amused. “The administration’s budget for NASA is a nonstarter,” he said in a statement. “Turning off the lights and walking away from our sole outpost in space at a time when we’re pushing the frontiers of exploration makes no sense.” Even before the transition plan was revealed, other major space players in Congress, including Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas), expressed skepticism.
This reaction seems to stem from a misreading of the Trump administration’s intentions. The new policy in no way suggests that America will abandon low Earth orbit to go back to the moon. Instead, it suggests that the administration is preparing for the next stage of space exploration. Just as the end of the space shuttle program heralded the beginning of private spaceflight, the end of the old space station will usher in the era of the commercial development of low Earth orbit.
Apart from reforming operation of the ISS, how would commercializing low Earth orbit work? At least three companies—Bigelow Aerospace, Axiom Space, and NanoRacks—have plans to deploy private space stations by the early 2020s. Bigelow already has worked with NASA by attaching a small-scale prototype of its inflatable space station module to the ISS.
The aim would be to develop commercial markets for these new private space stations to ensure their independence. They could be serviced by commercial spaceships such as the Boeing Starliner and the SpaceX Dragon at a much lower cost than NASA currently pays to maintain the International Space Station. Private companies such as Bigelow are as enthusiastic about the privatization plan as politicians are angry.
Well, Bill Nelson is joined at the hip to NASA.

FEMINISTS CHEER: Men’s Sperm Counts Are Dropping, and Scientists Don’t Know Why.
It sounds like something straight out of a dystopian nightmare, but new research shows sperm counts are drastically dropping across the Western world.
Researchers from Hebrew University-Hadassah Braun School of Public Health and Community Medicine in Jerusalem announced this week that sperm count in men residing in developed countries has dropped by a whopping 50 percent over the past 40 years. They claim this alarming trend could potentially result in a decline in male health, fertility and possibly even extinction if the trend doesn’t turn around.
“This study is an urgent wake-up call for researchers and health authorities around the world to investigate the causes of the sharp ongoing drop in sperm count,” explained study co-author Hagai Levine.
After data was collected from 185 studies looking at sperm count and concentration in men from North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand from 1973 to 2011, researchers found that total sperm count declined by 59.3 percent and sperm concentration declined by 52.4 percent.
This is a serious issue.
