WHITE SUPREMACY, IS THERE ANYTHING IT CAN’T DO?  White people are so racist, they expect black folks to carry out their ‘hate crimes’.

I AM VERY MUCH AN ADVOCATE OF LEARNING. THAT DOESN’T HAPPEN IN COLLEGES NOW:  Media bias and campus chaos.

MY SHOCKED FACE? AGAIN? ALREADY?  Media Outlets, Tech Companies, and Democratic Politicians Benefited from SVB Bailout.

THE DEORBIT IS MAYBE FIVE YEARS TOO EARLY FOR PROPER EXPLOITATION: Industry sees missed opportunity in deorbiting ISS. “NASA’s plan to spend up to $1 billion on a tug to deorbit the International Space Station is a missed opportunity to instead repurpose or recycle the station, some in industry argue.”

KEEP ROCKIN’! LA Times’ Hot Take on Banking Crisis: It’s a ‘Blessing in Disguise.’

I suspect the fallout from these developments will impact the stock market for some time to come, as well as consumer choices regarding investments and purchasing. It will be interesting to see how the American press plans to script the narrative to be favorable to the current administration and Democrats.

One intriguing data point on the upcoming narrative comes by way of The Los Angeles Times. One of its journalists, Doyle McManus (who is also a graduate of Stanford University) offered this hot take on the subject: Silicon Valley Bank’s collapse may be a blessing in disguise.

UNEXPECTEDLY: In Philadelphia, It Turns Out That Rioting Can Be Fun and Profitable.

The city of Philadelphia has agreed to pay the staggering sum of $9.25 million to about 200 rioters because they were teargassed and struck with rubber bullets.

The rioting is entirely incidental to the fact that the people throwing rocks at police, breaking store windows, and assaulting innocent people were stung with rubber bullets and experienced tears from being gassed with an irritant.

That’s not all. The city is also ordered to pay $500,000 to a fund that will provide counseling to victims of police violence and offer community-led programming.

This has nothing to do with the George Floyd riots that convulsed the city on May 31-June 1 in 2020. This is apparently a downpayment on slavery reparations, according to Mayor Jim Kenney.

Rick Moran: “At least five police officers were injured on May 31, 2020, after being struck by rocks, bricks, and Molotov cocktails. Why have police respond to a riot at all if no one is going to back their actions against those who can’t protest peacefully?”

But as Andy Ngo tweets, “In case you were wondering how far-left extremists get paid to riot, this is one of the ways. Networks of far-left legal groups file frivolous lawsuits to get easy cash settlements from Democrat cities. The money is used to fund & support their operations to keep the racket going. The other goal is to punish police departments for trying to stop left-wing riots. In some cities, like Portland & Seattle, police just stopped responding to BLM-Antifa rioting altogether.“

HOW’S THAT SPACE PROGRAM COMING ALONG? Risk of Giant Asteroids Hitting Earth Could Be Worse Than We Realized.

JOURNALISM:

Yesterday we sent a series of questions to this shady new Omidyar-funded group @resetdottech — whose report AP blindly swallowed to claim "pro-Russia accounts" were behind concerns over the Biden Admin's response in East Palestine. They're the most basic questions. No answers: https://t.co/aiOuAZ6YIR pic.twitter.com/ihf0yZP9Au
