“Newsworthy” or not, According to CNN

I’ve lost count of the times people have told me that Fox News and Breitbart are not reliable news sources – and yet the Communist News Network (CNN) is. As a matter of fact, even as I type this, the WordPress spellchecker underlined “Breitbart,” indicating it’s not a recognized word, but gave no such alert for “CNN.” My Android text program autocompletes for CNN, but not for Breitbart. When I type “CN” into Google, it autocompletes to “CNN,” but when I type in “Breit,” this is what I get:

The Microsoft News feed includes headlines from Fox News, and one headline caught my eye:

Black mothers of police shooting victims accuse BLM of profiting from their ‘loved ones’

Following the link, I read that…

Some mothers of Black sons and daughters killed by police officers are criticizing the Black Lives Matter national organization amid controversy over co-founder Patrisse Cullors’ lavish lifestyle.

“It’s all a facade,” Samaria Rice, the mother of 12-year-old Tamir Rice, who was killed by a White police officer in Cleveland in 2014, told the New York Post on Saturday.

Rice said she requested Cullors’ help in re-launching a federal investigation into her son’s death. But short of exchanging a few emails, her pleas never garnered face time with the Black Lives Matter executive director. 

“They are benefiting off the blood of our loved ones, and they won’t even talk to us,” Rice said

Breitbart had a similar story, titled Tamir Rice’s Mother Rips Black Lives Matter: ‘F**k a Grammy, My Son Is Dead.’

Granted, Samaria Rice, Tamir Rice’s mother, is not very eloquent, but it seems to me that this story is newsworthy. The New York Post, Fox and Breitbart certainly thought so. It’s newsworthy because practically every major US corporation donated to BLM, because it’s become an integral part of official government ideology, and because taxpayer dollars are being spent on BLM propaganda. It’s also important because, regardless of what we think of BLM, a mother’s loss was exploited for personal gain.

But it doesn’t appear that CNN agrees. A glance at the CNN home page reveals a headline, at the very top, that shrieks:

Marjorie Taylor Greene may be politically safe, but her conservative Georgia constituents have concerns about her tactics

… Inside the Oakwood Cafe that morning, 78-year-old Phil Neff, who supported Trump, paid for his breakfast amid the morning bustle. Afterward, he told CNN he believes that Greene “has more interest in herself than serving the community,” but added with a note of resignation: “That’s what the people chose.”

Who the hell is Phil Neff, and why is his opinion so important? It’s certainly no more important than the opinion of the mother of Tamir Rice, whose name pops up scores of times on CNN’s website, and whose face graces numerous headlines.

And yet it looks like CNN is completely ignoring Samaria Rice’s comments. If this isn’t selective reporting, I don’t know what is.

With “Progressives,” Everything is About Reparations

I’ve always believed that laws against cannabis are unjust, and that people have the right to partake of any substance they so choose, as long as they’re not putting others in danger, or forcing others to foot the bill. So I would normally support a move to decriminalize cannabis at the Federal level.

But now that Critical Race Theory is the official state religion, everything turns out to be about race and reparations. From NBC:

House reintroduces bill to decriminalize cannabis, create social equity programs

After voting overwhelmingly last year to decriminalize cannabis at the federal level, congressional leaders reintroduced a bill Friday to strike marijuana from the list of controlled substances and invest in communities disproportionately affected by the so-called drug war.

The Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act of 2021, also known as the MORE Act, would also eliminate criminal penalties, clear criminal records and create social equity programs focused on repairing damage to individuals and communities impacted by decades of prohibition.

The bill was introduced by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y.

Reading through the article, I knew that blacks would be mentioned at some point. Sure enough:

The Small Business Administration would establish the Cannabis Restorative Opportunity Program to help businesses owned and operated by “socially and economically disadvantaged individuals.” The SBA mandate would develop and implement equitable cannabis licensing programs that minimize barriers for people adversely impacted by the drug war.

Despite the move toward decriminalization, people of color continue to be most affected by existing drug laws. According to a 2020 report by the American Civil Liberties Union, a Black person is 3 times more likely to be arrested for cannabis possession than a white person. The ACLU estimated that enforcing cannabis prohibition laws costs taxpayers approximately $3.6 billion a year.

“Disadvantaged individuals” always means, primarily, blacks – but they still had to spell it out. This bill is about more of the same: The transfer of wealth from whites and Asians to blacks. Naturally, there’s an additional tax associated with this bill:

It would set a 5 percent tax on cannabis retail sales that would increase to 8 percent over three years. Revenue would go to the Opportunity Trust Fund, which would pay for job training, re-entry services, legal aid and health education programs for impacted communities.

“Impacted communities” meaning, of course, black communities.

If we were to travel back to Medieval times, we’d probably be shocked to see that almost everything relates to religion in one way or another. This is how it is in many Orthodox Jewish communities, and probably also among the Amish and devout Muslims. In the world of religion, very few things are spiritually neutral. Some might say that NOTHING is spiritually neutral.

It’s the same with modern “Progressives.” They are devout believers in Critical Race Theory, and this is why it’s so important to them to pass this faith on to the younger generation.

Critical Race Theory teaches that everything is about race and racism. By its very definition, it’s a radical faith, and nothing is neutral, not even getting high.

Lockheed Martin Goes Full Anti-White

Conservatism Inc. prefers the term woke, and I think it’s a useful term, but due to its extensive use, it’s lost some of its impact. We should call out anti-white activities for what they are, and avoid using the catch-all term “woke.”

Hat tip to The Mad Jewess, who brought this story to my attention. Lockheed Martin has sent key executives to an indoctrination camp, where they had their skulls filled with the sewage sludge that goes by the name of “Critical Race Theory:” From Twitter:


Christopher F. Rufo.
LockheedMartin, the nation’s largest defense contractor, sent key executives to a three-day white male reeducation camp in order to deconstruct their “white male culture” and atone for their “white male privilege.” I’ve obtained internal documents that will shock you…

To begin, the diversity trainers led a “free association” exercise, asking the Lockheed employees to list connotations for the term “white men.” The trainers wrote down “old, racist, privileged, anti-women, angry, Aryan Nation, KKK, Founding fathers, guns, guilty, can’t jump.”…

White Men As Full Diversity Partners argues that the “roots of white male culture” include traits such as “rugged individualism,” “a can-do attitude,” “hard work,” “operating from principles,” and “striving towards success”—which are “devastating” to women and minorities.

If not for “rugged individualism,” “a can-do attitude,” “hard work,” operating from principles,” and “striving towards success,” there would be no companies like Lockheed Martin to begin with. This point seems to be lost on the Lizard-people who promote such nonsense.

I would say that C.R.T. is pretty much the same as L.C.D. (Lowest Common Denominator), because it encourages inferiority.

21 people arrested for advocating for sexual minorities in Ho

You can’t make this stuff up. 21 “LGBTQI” advocates, assembled for a conference, were detained and arrested in the Ghanaian town of… Ho. From the New York Daily News:

The U.S. State Department and the World Bank are among foreign aid donors urging Ghana to protect the rights of the country’s LGBTQI community, days after 21 people were arrested for “advocating LGBTQI activities,” according to a police spokesman.

On Thursday, 16 women and five men attending a conference at a hotel in the southeastern city of Ho were arrested by local police.

The group was participating in training for paralegals on documenting and reporting human rights violations experienced by sexual minorities in Ghana, according to the human rights organization Rightify Ghana.

A few years ago, Forbes published a freedom map of Africa, in which Ghana ranked near the top:

This is a pattern we see over and over again; sexual minorities seem to suffer the most in black societies. Get used to it LGBTQI people, because at current trends, the entire world will soon be one big black society. Where will you seek asylum then?

Trump Gets Sued. What About CNN?

The Chinese American Civil Rights Coalition is suing ex-President Trump for “defamation and emotional distress.” From Business Insider:

The civil rights group is arguing that Trump’s use of derogatory terms for the coronavirus has led to a rise in violence against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, TMZ reported.

The former president has famously used terms such as the “Chinese Virus,” “China Virus,” “Wuhan Flu,” and “Kung Flu,” to describe COVID-19.

The Chinese American Civil Rights Coalition is suing Trump for roughly $22.9 million, or $1 for every Asian American and Pacific Islander living in the United States, TMZ said.

It will be up to the courts to determine whether the use of such terms actually caused this uptick in violence, but considering the fact that most of the recent violent attacks on Asians have been perpetrated by blacks, this seems unlikely. To the best of my knowledge, none of the hoodlums were wearing MAGA hats, and none of them said anything to indicate that Trump encouraged them.

If the use of unflattering terms, toward an ethnic group, is grounds for a lawsuit, then CNN should be sued:

Don Lemon: The biggest terror threat in this country is white men.

Chris Cuomo: Police reform comes when ‘white people kids start getting killed.’

Van Jones: It Is Too Late for White People to Be Innocent.

John Blake: How ‘good White people’ derail racial progress.

Jess Row: White people, in our way, are experts on racism. We know it because we practice it, implement it and benefit from it.

Lauren Kent: When Europeans arrived in the Americas, they caused so much death and disease that it changed the global climate.

Aside from its explicit anti-white vitriol, CNN is known for its selective and misleading reporting.

Why is CNN not being sued? It might have something to do with the fact that there is no such thing as The European American Civil Rights Coalition. In other words, demographics that lack representation are also unable to effectively seek redress for slander against them.

It might also have something to do with the fact that CNN, along with the rest of Corporate Media, does a good job of hiding anti-white crime; it’s difficult to be outraged about trends unless you’re aware of them. The vast majority of Americans live in blissful ignorance.

Solving Crime with More Free Stuff

There has been a lot of gun violence in Portland lately, and even Establishment Leftists recognize that most of it is perpetrated by blacks. In a recent Oregon Live article, we’re told that more “gibz” (free stuff) would help alleviate this problem – because this strategy has never been tried before:

Black faith and community leaders draw crowd of 100 for ‘March Against Murder’ in N. Portland

The so-called “March Against Murder” drew speakers from across the city, all of them Black men and one woman who has lost two sons to gun violence.

Their message: That both government officials and the community need to step up to curb the epidemic of gun violence that’s swept through the city…

Other speakers said Black Portlanders need more institutional support.

Lakayana Drury, the executive director of a nonprofit that works with at-risk youth, challenged government entities to create well-paying jobs for Black Portlanders.

He called on Portland Public Schools to hire 100 Black teachers over the next 10 years. Drury said the Portland Police Bureau and Portland Fire & Rescue should each hire as many employees in the next decade as well.

He also demanded that private companies step in to help, starting with one of the region’s largest employers: Intel.

“I’m asking them, right now, to give every Black child a computer,” Drury said. “If you don’t want a Black child to have a gun at 15, give him a computer by 5.”

He also said AT&T and Verizon should provide free wireless hotspots for the city’s Black children.

What a novel idea! More gibz will stop the violence. In a completely unrelated development, the Biden Administration has granted “temporary protection to thousands of Haitians:”

The Biden administration on Saturday extended special protections to Haitians living temporarily in the United States after being displaced by a devastating 2010 earthquake, reversing efforts by the previous administration to force them to leave the country…

Mr. Mayorkas said the new 18-month designation, known as temporary protected status, would apply to Haitians already living in the United States as of Friday.

“Haiti is currently experiencing serious security concerns, social unrest, an increase in human rights abuses, crippling poverty, and lack of basic resources, which are exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic,” Mr. Mayorkas said in a statement on Saturday.

Who do they think they’re fooling? There is nothing “temporary” about this. We all know that the Haitians will never return home. Also, it’s been 11 years since the earthquake, and the article itself points out that it’s “security concerns, social unrest, an increase in human rights abuses and crippling poverty” that make Haiti undesirable.

These concerns seem to follow Africans around wherever they go. Here’s an original idea: Let’s increase the gibz to Haiti. If we give every Haitian a computer and free wireless hotspots, the problem will be solved. Just ask Lakayana Drury.

Here’s a Useful New Meme

Answering a Quora question: What do statistics say about the wealth gap between white and black in the USA?

I wrote:

Those statistical “disparities” are nothing but a social construct. The wage disparities are far greater between members of the same race than between different races.

Ignore it!

Of course, I was simply using Lewontin’s Fallacy against the Left; if it’s good enough for them to “debunk” the concept of genetically identifiable human populations (“race”), then it’s also good enough to debunk the income/wage gap.

Without missing a beat, my Quora friend and ally, Jack Thomson, created this meme:

I’m sure he won’t mind if you spread it around. One of these days, I’ll start creating my own memes.

Of course, this meme can (and should) be adapted for the so-called “gender-gap” as well.

Portland’s “Teen” Problem

East Portland is being terrorized by “teens.” According to KGW8:

Police looking for teens who terrorized Southeast Portland businesses and drivers

PORTLAND, Ore. — Monday afternoon near Southeast 92nd and Division, police say a handful of teens walked into a convenience store, spread out and stole a bunch of things. On their way out, investigators say, the suspects pushed an employee. 

After leaving the convenience store, authorities say the group walked into a restaurant a few blocks away, yelled at staff and stole a tip jar.

According to detectives, the teens then turned their attention to a hair salon near Southeast 82nd and Division. The suspects walked in and started throwing products off shelves before going into an employee area and stealing some things. The teens, police say, even tried to take a customer’s purse…

The crime-spree didn’t end there; they then committed a robbery and an attempted carjacking.

If you watch the embedded video, you might notice that the word “teens” is used 7 times. Here’s a screen capture of the “teens:”

I get the distinct impression that the reporter is frustrated that he’s required to use euphemisms. As for the vast majority of leftists, this sort of thing goes right over their heads, and they remain puzzled as to why the rest of us “hate those teens solely due to the color of their skin.”

To them I say, “Carry on living inside your fantasy world, where unsavory stereotypes are based entirely on skin-color – and have nothing to do with the fact that certain demographics are terrorizing our cities.”

Rhode Island Officials Call for Stricter Gun Laws

An Associated Press article decries the recent uptick in gun violence that has plagued Rhode Island:

Addressing gun violence in Rhode Island will require stricter gun laws as well as improved social programs that address the underlying socioeconomic issues, congressional, state and city leaders said at a news conference Monday held in response to several recent shootings in the state.

“Gun violence is a stain on our nation. It’s a problem across this country and it’s time to take action and break this vicious cycle of violence,” Democratic U.S. Sen. Jack Reed said at the event held at the Nonviolence Institute in Providence.

Gun violence has always been a problem, but things seem to be getting worse, officials said.

Nearly a dozen people have been shot in Providence alone in the last week, including eight people last Thursday in what police have called one of the worst shootings in city history. A ninth person was injured by glass. None of them died…

U.S. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse said he has cosponsored 14 federal gun control measures, but noted that even though many of the proposals have bipartisan support, the NRA frequently stands in the way.

“We have to break the back of the gun lobby,” he said.

Emails and a telephone message seeking a response were left with the Rhode Island 2nd Amendment Coalition, the state NRA affiliate.

The elephant in the room is that white solutions don’t work on POC problems. Here’s what we get when we perform a Google image search for “Rhode Island shooting suspects:”

How many of those suspects are NRA members? How many of them are Second Amendment advocates? The article complains that “things seem to be getting worse.”

According to the 2010 census, Rhode Island was 81.4% white, 5.7% black and 12.4% Latino.

In 2019, the white proportion had dropped to 71%, the black proportion had increased slightly to 6% – and the Latino proportion increased to 16%.

It’s not just a matter of percentages; it’s possible that the criminal element feels more emboldened due to the “Defund the Police” rhetoric, whether it’s been done or not (I’m not sure). Then there’s the Ferguson Effect.

Let’s follow up on the mass shooting, cited in the Associated Press article above:

The state attorney general’s office identified the men as Ricardo Cosme Tejada and Jordany Britto, both 20, Reynaldo Rivera, 19, and George Rios, 18. Each faces charges of assault with a deadly weapon, using a firearm while committing a crime of violence, conspiracy, and using a pistol without a license.

The news outlets put a lot of emphasis on the illegal guns, but avoided publishing any photos of the actual suspects. It’s doubtful that any of them are white. Most, if not all, of them are Hispanic – and it’s worth noting that Rhode Island voted overwhelmingly for Biden in 2020. They voted for open borders, and they’re reaping the “benefits.” Perhaps, instead of calls for more gun control, they should be calling for border control.

Rhode Island’s political class is oblivious to all this, and this failure to acknowledge the obvious will end up costing lives, while depriving good citizens of their liberty at the same time.
