The media in this country is a disgusting joke.

Biden Administration attempts to spread the pain of their self-imposed border fiasco

‘Not Our Problem’: Iowa Governor Rejects White House Plea To House Child Migrants As Admin Flies Kids Cross-Country

Emily Zanotti:

“…The White House is now flying unaccompanied minors across the country to emergency housing facilities as it struggles to keep up with the thousands of child migrants flooding across the United States southern border — and Iowa’s Republican governor is now the first to refuse the Biden administration’s pleas to provide temporary housing.

Late last week, Republican Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds “said she has rejected a federal request to accept migrant children into the state, saying the need to find homes for them ‘is the president’s problem,’” per The Associated Press.

“This is not our problem,” Reynolds said, adding that the state does not have any temporary facilities to lend to the Department of Housing and Human Services. “This is the president’s problem. He’s the one that has opened the border, and he needs to be responsible for this and he needs to stop it.”…”

Forced Masking Is Behavioral Science, Not Medical, And They’ve Been Playing Us The Whole Time

Scott Morefield:

“…Most people probably think of epidemiologists as simply doctors who specialize in contagious illness, but that would be only part of the story. Indeed, rather than studying and finding cures for diseases, arguably the most important component of the field is increasingly being viewed as something else entirely – the molding of public behavior. This explains why so many who go into epidemiology hold undergraduate degrees in public health, which focuses on the social and behavioral sciences, instead of the more hard-core sciency stuff studied by their medical doctor peers, like biology or biochemistry.

So when epidemiologists like Dr. Anthony Fauci make pronouncements from on-high, one must always be aware of the motive behind their messaging – to get YOU to do what THEY tell you to do, purportedly in an effort to “stop the spread” of whatever contagion they are fighting. Except, if you do a deep dive into the nature of most of the world’s response to today’s particular disease du jour, COVID-19, you’ll see that little of it ever had to do with actual science or data. Instead, the bulk of it has focused on implementing and forcing the public to comply with certain non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs), like lockdowns and masking, settled upon early on in the pandemic…”

Social media has chosen sides. They should be treated as such.

Racial policies on campus hurt minority students

A ‘Dubious Expediency’: How Race-Preferential Admissions Policies on Campus Hurt Minority Students

Gail L. Heriot:

Abstract

Mounting empirical research shows that race-preferential admissions policies are doing more harm than good. Instead of increasing the numbers of African Americans entering high-status careers, these policies reduce those numbers relative to what we would have had if colleges and universities had followed race-neutral policies. We have fewer African-American scientists, physicians, and engineers and likely fewer lawyers and college professors. If, as the evidence indicates, the effects of race-preferential admissions policies are exactly the opposite of what was originally intended, it is difficult to understand why anyone would wish to support them.

IS “RACISM” A PUBLIC HEALTH THREAT?

PAUL MIRENGOFF:

“…The CDC’s director, Biden appointee Rochelle Walensky, has declared that racism is a public health threat. Accordingly, she has vowed to invest more resources in minority communities.

To the non-woke, Walensky’s declaration might seem like politically correct nonsense masquerading as science, in service of funneling money to a core Democrat constituency. But to leftists, the statement is true by definition, based on the following syllogism:

    1. All outcomes unfavorable to Blacks are the product of racism.
    2. Blacks have less favorable health outcomes than Whites.
    3. Therefore, the unfavorable health outcomes Blacks suffer are the product of racism.
    4. And therefore, racism is a public health threat.

I don’t know whether anyone is presenting Walensky’s conclusion in quite these terms. However, it seems clear that this sort of thinking underlies the view that racism threatens public health…”

In the four numbered items above, Mr. Mirengoff exposes the childlike logic that underlies Democrat policy prescriptions across government.

Fauci, double masked for Covid safety

“…If it weren’t so sad and devastating to people’s lives, we would be living in the middle of one of the greatest comedies of all time. Democrats are scrambling to understand why their policies related to COVID are failing while Republican policies are succeeding. There is no explanation they can see, none they can accept, because leftists are incapable of even entertaining the possibility that they could be wrong. About anything.

Infection rates are surging to near record levels…in states with lockdowns and mask mandates, and they are sinking in states without them. So-called experts like Dr. Anthony Fauci can’t explain this, which means no one in media can either since he’s the only person they believe on the subject, no matter what evidence contradicts him.

“Call it a ‘COVID conundrum,’ in states with the strictest measures in the country, like Michigan, Pennsylvania, and much of New England, cases are on the rise,” a Today Show report this week started. “While in the south, states like Arkansas and Texas that have reopened businesses and ripped away mask mandates are seeing their numbers drop.”…”
