ANYTHING THAT DOESN’T ADVANCE THE NARRATIVE IS “RACIST” NOW. THAT’S HOW IT WORKS. Mentioning George Floyd’s heavy drug use isn’t ‘racist,’ it’s a crucial fact.

JUDICIAL COVERUP: Judge Prohibits Release of Undercover Pro-Life Activist’s Recordings.
I LIKE THE CUT OF HIS JIB: ‘How dare you say my own is decided by the color of my skin’: Calvin Robinson takes on activist Ken Hinds in epic debate (watch). “Superb. Calling out a racist & demanding proof of outlandish claims. This is how conservatives should tackle misinformation.”
JAMES C. BENNETT: The Evolution of the Lineages of Modernity. “Over recent decades a plethora of books aimed at the general reader has sought to explain the success of the West and the reasons for the gap between Western achievements and the rest of the world.”
JOEL KOTKIN: America’s elites want a racial apocalypse.
The left’s and the media’s embrace of racial apocalypse, both in the US and in Britain, remains sadly selective. The recent Atlanta murders, given exhaustive coverage, appear to be the product not of Trumpista brownshirts but a singular, screwed-up madman. Meanwhile, attacks on Asians historically have come in large measure from minorities, largely African Americans. The most recent attack on Capitol Hill came not from Trumpistas but a follower of the ultimate anti-white, Louis Farrakhan.
The same media that hypes anti-Asian violence by whites usually ignores that by other ‘people of colour’. When the perpetrator is a Muslim jihadi, as was the case in Colorado, coverage has been less, even if the body count was twice as high. The ‘people of colour’ solidarity that bleeds over the pages of mainstream media has little room for nuance. It tends to ignore the fact that many Asians, and many Hispanics, oppose such things as quotas to selective high schools and colleges.
Similarly, most minorities seem not to share common ground with posturing politicians, and progressive intellectuals, who have excused looting as a form of racial redress. Minority business people generally don’t regard random violence as justice; the impact on business enterprises is felt particularly keenly in Minneapolis. A focus on police abuse is clearly needed, but the vast majority of Americans – including millennials and minorities – do not favour defunding law enforcement. They may be more concerned with the resurgence of violent and other crime in our core cities, even though it is often downplayed in the media.
The impending threat of violence in Minneapolis and elsewhere, offers manna from heaven for some but disaster for most. The racial-protest industry, perfected by the openly neo-Marxist Black Lives Matter, has raised a reported $90million, much of it from corporate largesse. What civil-rights activist Bob Woodson calls ‘race-grievance predators’ – like Ibrahim Kendi – are being bankrolled by oligarchs, like Twitter’s Jack Dorsey.

IN AMERICA? YES THEY ARE: “No Amendment is Absolute”.
And Zhou Bai Den needs to go to China. Tomorrow. Permanently. He’s declared himself non-American.
AS HILLARY WOULD SAY, AT THIS POINT, WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE: Biden Appoints Court-Packing Commission – Puts Conservative Supreme Court Justices In His Sights.
Also “Conservative” is more accurate.
THOSE ARE ROOKIE NUMBERS. BIDEN CAN BRING THOSE NUMBERS UP: German Police Expose Iran’s Vast Terrorist and Spy Network in 22 European Cities.
THERE IS CONSIDERABLY MORE DEMAND FOR RACISM THAN THERE IS SUPPLY: Black Student Found Responsible for Anti-Black Racist Graffiti at Albion College in Michigan.

ZEE INFORMATION AGAINST ZEE NARRATIVE IS FALSE, FALSE THEY SAY! YouTube Censors DeSantis, Claims Panel Discussion Spread COVID-19 “Misinformation”.
BECAUSE OF COURSE THEY DO: Prince Philip Dies, US Media Plays Race Card.
NANCY PELOSI DONE BY AUGUST, PER AMERICANS: Infrastructure Bill Done By August Per Nancy Pelosi.
UH UH, SURE IT IS: US businesses ‘on fairly strong legal ground’ to mandate vaccine proof for customers: Law professor.
What happened to HIPPA?
Pretty sure there’s a word that describes a political system where government colludes with Big Business to enable Big Business to do things the government wants to do but legally can not, thereby acting as an agent of the government... It’s right on the tip of my tongue. I swear it starts with N….

THE DYING BREED WILL NOT GO QUIETLY: Yes, some Instapundit readers will have a stroke, but others understand that there are a few honest liberals out there (Glenn Greenwald, Matt Taibbi) who will call balls and strikes in a fair way. Add Ken Silverstein to the list. This guy was one of the first to expose the race-hustle racket that is the SPLC:
“Today, the SPLC spends most of its time–and money–on a relentless fund-raising campaign, peddling memberships in the church of tolerance with all the zeal of a circuit rider passing the collection plate. “He’s the Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker of the civil rights movement,” renowned anti-death-penalty lawyer Millard Farmer says of Dees, his former associate, “though I don’t mean to malign Jim and Tammy Faye.”
The guy can write like a house afire:
“President Joe Biden’s signed a $1.9 trillion Covid relief bill and while the usual pigs slopped up most of that at the national feeding trough, some money did go to us plebes. Sure, mega-rich dickhead Tom Brady got a government loan (under Trump) of just south of $1 million for his fraudulent “health and wellness” company. But why be bitter towards Brady — or the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi or various Trump associates and family members who cashed in on Covid aid.”
And you have to love the honesty of a publication whose motto is “Shocking True Stories and Political Sleaze.” We should be so lucky if The New York Times were so self-aware. Many of the stories in Washington Babylon will anger you. I say “good.”
CAYMAN: Beers and fishing with Prince Philip on the South Sound. “It was quite a nice afternoon. He was quite the character.”
