The Human Experience May Save Us From Ourselves

Maybe there's reason for hope still. Common values transcend ethnicity.

Modern liberalism is at odds with masculinity, free speech, religious faith, self-determination and belief in the nuclear family.

O’Shea Jackson is a married father of four. His music and approach to life are drenched in masculinity and devoid of political correctness. He’s made no secret of his affinity for religion, including Islam, Christianity and Buddhism. He lifted himself from poverty with an incredible work ethic and independence.

Like all men, he’s flawed. Like all wise men seeking enlightenment, he’s pragmatic and willing to adjust to new information.

Tamny's Brilliant Summary

"What lends what’s ridiculous a little bit of credibility is that stock markets were correcting at the time of the meeting between top Trump officials and Hoover board members. Except that the correction was unrelated to the virus. Markets had been pricing its arrival with great calm since January. Anyone with a pulse knew this.

"More realistically, in late February Bernie Sanders looked like he might take the Democratic presidential nomination. Markets logically corrected at the time to price at least the possibility of a socialist in the White House. Notable is that they stopped correcting after Joe Biden won the South Carolina primary. In fact, the Monday after Biden’s Saturday win the Dow Jones Industrial Average had its biggest one day point gain in history. This happened after Trump officials who are said to never be right and to never be truthful allegedly told the truth to Hoover types. Get it? The big stock movements were politics related, not virus related.

"No doubt stocks did eventually correct in March. The virus did factor this time. With good reason. Investors hadn’t priced in the horrid possibility that politicians would respond to the coronavirus by forcing an economic contraction."

If Only They Were Kidding

There will always be these nut jobs who can only see the world based on ethnicity. It is human to be tribal, and would have been a death wish in the paleolithic era to be an X and to go to Y turf.  But the number of people who are so damaged and so bereft of soul that they want to and are willing to hate others based on ethnicity gets smaller by the day. These supremacists are angry, weak and pathetic. They won't kill as many ethnic minorities in this country as will be murdered in any given big city today. 

The focus on this topic is exactly displacement activity, and it is absurd.

The media’s myopic focus on white supremacy is a displacement activity of epic proportions. For weeks now, the mainstream media, and much of the Democratic-leaning political class, have refused to speak honestly about the instability in the US and about the divisive, identity-based ideologies that have fuelled it. Perhaps nervous that their own role in fomenting the dogma of identitarianism will be exposed, or worried that criticism of Antifa and BLMcould accidentally benefit Trump, they have either ignored or downplayed the mayhem of the past couple of months. ‘Mostly peaceful protests’, they’ve said about fiery, nihilistic destruction. As statues were toppled and beheaded, as businesses were burnt to the ground, as people were accosted and attacked for being white or for failing to raise a fist in support of BLM, the media have shrugged their shoulders or said ‘It’s not a big deal’. And now they want us to get heated about the Proud Boys, an ineffectual bunch of muppets? Are they kidding?

It's Going to Be Worse the 2nd Time Around

 I've been dreading the re-traumatization of all of us when this goes to trial. It will be like what happened with M Brown or T Martin - the facts will not support criminal charges because there was no violation of law in those deaths. The officers in the G Floyd case did what he asked and complied with their training. He died from his injection of lethal doses of drugs into himself.  

"As will be explained in detail below, throughout Floyd’s confrontation with the police, he was at imminent risk of death from sudden cardiac arrhythmia caused by excited delirium. So it was that these officers followed the MPD’s official procedures for how to properly and safely subdue someone in that life-threatening condition. In doing so, they were not only keeping Floyd in the prescribed “recovery position” to alleviate his risk of asphyxiation, they were also keeping an agitated and delirious Floyd from harming himself as they awaited the arrival of the ambulance that they had twice summoned to provide medical aid to him."

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

There it was: How could the FBI charge Flynn with lying to investigators when they could not establish that there was any underlying crime -- violating the Logan Act or any other law -- that would justify going to the White House to question him? It was the fatal flaw of the Flynn pursuit.

That glaring weakness -- no underlying crime -- was also the fatal flaw of the Russia investigation as a whole. Mueller was appointed to investigate collusion. He could never establish that it even took place, much less who might have taken part in it. As I wrote in OBSESSION, that failure made the rest of his job essentially impossible. When he investigated allegations that Trump obstructed justice, he was investigating whether Trump impeded an investigation into something that did not happen. Likewise, when he sought to interview Trump, he would not point to a reason -- an underlying crime -- so compelling that he could meet the high standard for imposing on a President of the United States.
