Professor William Jacobson, clinical professor at Cornell Law, published a column on Real Clear Politics on Wednesday. In it Professor Jacobson talked about Cancel Culture. I urge everyone to read the entire article at Real Clear Politics.
Many people have become quite jaded about politicians keeping the promises they made while campaigning for office. There have been so many instances of politicians walking away from campaign promises as soon as election day is over. One might say that such politicians were lying to the public. And unfortunately, it is a disease that affects politicians on both sides of the aisle.
However jaded one might be, this statement by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez raises eyebrows across the political spectrum.
Last week, 24-year-old Jessica Doty Whitaker was shot to death following an argument with Black Lives Matter supporters. According to her family, the BLM supporters shouted “Black lives matter” at her and her group, to which they replied, “All lives matter.”
According to her fiancee, he and the victim and two other people were hanging out along a canal near Indianapolis when someone in their group used a slang version of the N-word. That word prompted a confrontation by a group of strangers.
It is now being reported from multiple sources that a variety of labs and hospitals in Florida have been overreporting their positive test results for COVID-19. Based on test results reported, Florida is considered a hotspot for COVID-19 infections.
According to Fox 35 in Orlando, dozens of labs on the state’s COVID-19 report had a 100 percent positivity rate. After Fox 35 started asking questions, several labs and hospitals confirmed the numbers were wrong. Many others failed to respond to requests from the station for information.
It is becoming increasingly obvious that our system of “higher” education is closed off to students with conservative viewpoints. Such students are pilloried for their views. They are doxxed and smeared in an attempt to get them removed from the college or university where they are attending. Many of these smear campaigns are outright lies used to enrage the mob so that school administrators will cave to their demands.
The Jesuits were once renowned for their intellectual rigor. Any person who graduated from a Jesuit-run institution was presumptively well educated, morally centered, and capable of reasoning. Marquette University is one such Jesuit institution. Marquette has consistently been highly ranked among American universities.
On July 5th, AG Bill Barr did an interview with Marie Bartiromo. In it, Barr began by noting that PDJT was targeted by various entities, both within and outside the government, to remove him from office. This is a stunning admission by the AG. The interaction starts at the 0:42 mark of the video.
There is a growing crescendo of opinion among the bobbleheads in the MSM that a second wave of the coronavirus is here. There has been a spike in cases in some southern states. This has led to finger-pointing by the media that these governors are putting people’s lives at risk by opening up their economies too quickly. One state, South Carolina, supposedly has seen new cases rise to around 2000 per day (The real count is closer to 700). Other states that have rational leadership in the governor’s mansion have seen similar rises. Is this “surge” real?
It turns out that there has been significant overcounting of the number of individuals with the coronavirus. According to the far-left publication, The Atlantic,
News is now surfacing that some NCAA conferences are punting on a full football season. Why this is happening is a topic for another post. While many of us have recognized for some time that higher education in this country has been compromised on the altar of political correctness, the recent lack of intestinal fortitude by Penn State is stunning.
It is not an official campaign slogan for the Biden campaign but it should be. Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, recently told campaign donors that, if elected, he plans to roll back most of PDJT’s tax cuts. Biden said,
“I’m going to get rid of the bulk of Trump’s $2 trillion tax cut. A lot of you may not like that, but I’m going to close loopholes like capital gains and stepped-up basis.”
Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic Presidential nominee, appears to be engaged in a tough battle with Joe Biden over whether the police should be defunded. Yes, that’s right. Joe Biden is fighting with Joe Biden on this issue. And he may not even realize it.
A few short weeks ago Joe Biden was quoted as saying that he was against the movement that was gathering steam across the country to defund the police. Instead, he espoused the “urgent need for reform.”
