GLOBAL WARMING: IS THERE NOTHING IT CAN’T DO?
● AOC blames US climate policy for illegal immigration.
● Elizabeth Warren Blames Bitcoin For Climate Change.
● Biden tells grads systemic racism, climate change are ‘the greatest crises of our time.’
As the pandemic winds down, it’s oddly comforting to see Blue-Anon return to their usual shibboleths.

GLENN GREENWALD: The Enduring False Narrative About the PULSE Massacre Shows the Power of Media Propaganda.
On the fifth anniversary of the PULSE nightclub massacre in Orlando, numerous senators, politicians and activist groups commemorated that tragic event by propagating an absolute falsehood: namely, that the shooter, Omar Mateen, was motivated by anti-LGBT animus. The evidence is definitive and conclusive that this is false — Mateen, like so many others who committed similar acts of violence, was motivated by rage over President Obama’s bombing campaigns in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, and chose PULSE at random without even knowing it was a gay club — yet this media-consecrated lie continues to fester.

ROGER KIMBALL: News Flash: Trump Was Right.
On Saturday, June 12, former President Donald Trump released a statement that, in tone, will have his opponents rolling their eyes.
“I told you so,” they will say, because Donald Trump told them so and managed to get in a bit of signature Trump braggadocio along the way.
Under the legend “Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America,” this is what he wrote:
“Have you noticed that they are now admitting I was right about everything they lied about before the election?”
“They” of course are the eye-rollers, not only those the former President delighted in calling dispensers of “fake news” but also their clients, toadies, and enablers. . . .
To save time, let’s call this wretched multitude The Committee.
The Committee said one thing then, when Donald Trump was president.
They say something contradictory now, claiming—or in the case of Joe Biden, really—to have forgotten what they said when their bête orange was in office.
Indeed. Plus:
You might think this is just politics as usual.
It is not.
It is the infernal work of a self-engorging clique that more and more controls the levers of power and the spigots of information.
Their object is partly to push the “woke” agenda of identity politics but, deep down, their unalterable goal is the acquisition, deployment, and retention of power.
They are not well-meaning people who happen to disagree with us.
They are mandarin apparatchiks who seek to compass our destruction.
Donald Trump brought them out of the woodwork and exposed their ambition to public scrutiny.
That is the real reason they hate him.
Sadly, also true.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Another Suspicious Dead Body Drops In Hillary Clinton’s Wake. “People who have dirt on BJ and Granny Maojackets have a bad habit of offing themselves, going all the way back to when Vince Foster got ‘suicided’ in 1993. It’s always felt as if the Clintons were heading up a criminal empire rather than a political dynasty. Heck, I should probably tell my sister to keep checking on me after I write this.”
CHANGE: Forget Going Back to the Office—People Are Just Quitting Instead. “More U.S. workers are quitting their jobs than at any time in at least two decades, signaling optimism among many professionals while also adding to the struggle companies face trying to keep up with the economic recovery. The wave of resignations marks a sharp turn from the darkest days of the pandemic, when workers craved job security while weathering a national health and economic crisis. In April, the share of U.S. workers leaving jobs was 2.7%, according to the Labor Department, a jump from 1.6% a year earlier to the highest level since at least 2000. The shift by workers into new jobs and careers is prompting employers to raise wages and offer promotions to keep hold of talent.”
WHY NOT? THEY SLEPT THROUGH EIGHT YEARS OF HIS OLD BOSS: Most of the media will sleep through the Biden years.
Researchers analyzed reporting from major TV networks and newspapers during the first 60 days of the five most recent presidencies and found that only 19% of Biden stories were negative. By comparison, 62% of stories on former President Donald Trump were negative.
A Boston Herald editorial admitted that “the press … is treating Biden with kid gloves.”
That’s not how journalism is supposed to work. The press is often described as the “Fourth Estate” because it serves as a final check on democracy beyond the three government branches.
Under Trump, Washington correspondents embraced that role, perhaps overzealously. Journalists complained that Trump’s press briefings were “a venue for attacks on the media and a forum relatively light on information about what government is doing.” So, reporters doggedly searched for smoking guns to the point of abandoning principles and publishing conspiracy theories.
Now, these same journalists have stopped being adversarial. But why?
Because Democrat. Next question?
