The New York Times
has a story about a young man, Jimmy Galligan, who is an example of the kind of moral monsters this culture of ours has created.

His mother is black, his father white. He went to high school in Leesburg, Va. Four years ago, a girl in his class, Mimi Groves, used an antiblack racial slur in a Snapchat video lasting three seconds, and sent privately to a friend. Somebody showed him the clip. He saved it, and waited for his chance.

Oakland police launch investigation after bust of Breonna Taylor smashed into pieces

breonna taylor bust smash
The killing of Breonna Taylor is just one of several deaths of African Americans at the hands of police this year that have sparked mass protests by the Black Lives Matter movement across the US.

Police in Oakland, California have launched an investigation after a bust dedicated to deceased African American emergency room technician, Breonna Taylor, was smashed into pieces.

The police are "aware of the incident regarding the vandalism of a bust honouring Breonna Taylor", Bay Area public media outlet KQED reported.

Comment: Is it racism, or is it lashing out at an oppressive social movement that judges people based on skin color? It's hard to know what the motivation of the vandal was, so jumping to the automatic conclusion it was "racist" is rather telling.

Thousands of Israelis received a vaccine dose on Shabbat - the seventh day of the Jewish week and a day that traditionally imposes some restrictions concerning working activities and other secular matters.

Rabbies and religious politicians have slammed the Israeli government over mass vaccination during Shabbat, warning that it goes against spiritual principles, The Times of Israel reported on Sunday.

According to MK Uri Maklev, from the United Torah Judaism party, "How will there be a blessing for the work of their hands, when they harm Shabbat and the [religious] public in such a serious manner?" he asked rhetorically in a Haredi newspaper on Sunday.

Disintegration of Education System: Bryn Mawr College folded to Woke Student Mob

Ideology is a specious way of relating to the world. It offers human beings the illusion of an identity, of dignity, and of morality, while making it easier for them to part with them.- Vaclav Havel

Last week marked the end of a chaotic semester at Bryn Mawr College, a small women's liberal arts college located outside Philadelphia. During the final weeks, Bryn Mawr students, including my own child, scrambled to pick up the pieces following a student "strike" that exacerbated the serious preexisting disruptions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. For a period of three weeks, few regular classes were held, activities were suspended, and student life (such as it was) became marked by the same toxic spirit of racism that the strikers claimed to oppose.

Bryn Mawr is affiliated with nearby Haverford College, whose parallel meltdown in November was documented recently by Quillette. These two selective and well-funded schools are part of a so-called Bi-Co arrangement, which allows students to participate in joint classes and activities. Both share a similarly progressive commitment to such causes as diversity, equity, and inclusion. And students at both schools generally are well-steeped in doctrines of intersectionality, "white fragility," anti-racism, and all the rest. Yet following the police shooting of Walter Wallace Jr. in Philadelphia, activists at Haverford and Bryn Mawr embraced the dubious claim that their extremely progressive campuses were actually contaminated by a dangerous climate of racism that (quite literally) threatened the survival of black students. In many cases, the ire was directed not only at administrators and non-ideologically-compliant faculty, but also at any student suspected of not supporting the strikers' apocalyptic rhetoric, dramatic postures, and inflated demands. Anyone who sought to attend class, go to the dining hall, or even turn in schoolwork was denounced as a "scab," and often faced acts of bullying.

It's time for mass civil disobedience against lawless lockdown orders

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti
By now it should be obvious that elected state and local officials issuing COVID-19 lockdown and stay-at-home orders are just making things up as they go along.

Too often, their edicts aren't based on science or data, but on a grotesque understanding of their own authority and infallibility. In the face of a worsening pandemic, they want to be seen doing something, taking bold action to stop the spread of the virus — that is, so long as it doesn't hurt certain favored special interests.

That's why Americans living under arbitrary and unconstitutional lockdown orders should simply ignore them, en masse, as an act of civil disobedience.

How else are ordinary people to push back against the capricious rules of politicians like Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti? On November 25, the day before Thanksgiving, Garcetti and county health officials banned outdoor dining at bars and restaurants for three weeks. Because of the spread of the virus, they said, it's just too dangerous, so we all have to do our part and make sacrifices.

Toyota CEO agrees with Elon Musk: We don't have enough electricity to electrify all cars

Let's stipulate a couple of facts right at the top: Toyota makes a lot of cars, so many that it's the world's largest or second-largest auto manufacturer every year. Toyota makes a lot of good, reliable cars. The Corolla, for instance, may not be flashy but the little things will go for a quarter-million miles or more and they mostly just run without breaking down much. Change the oil when you're supposed to and you're probably good to go.

Let's stipulate one more fact: Whether cars keep burning gas or run on electricity, Toyota is poised to make and sell millions of electric vehicles. It already has the game-changing solid-state battery coming on line. It launched the Prius way back in 1997. Toyota has not only not resisted the adaptation of EVs, it has led the way. Fundamentally, Toyota does not care if cars are powered by gas or nuclear fusion engines as long as it maintains its position and sells millions of them.

Diplomatic war with Moscow a bad idea after all? 'Understaffed & overstretched' US Embassy gets rebuke from Russia after complaint

A Washington Post story bemoaning the state of the US Embassy in Moscow, and blaming Russia for causing a visa war, has been shot down by the Russian diplomatic mission in Washington with a reminder as to who started it all.

The Russian Embassy in Washington pointed the finger at the US late on Friday for initiating the tensions between the two countries. Its statement was released followed the publication of an article in the Washington Post reporting that the US Embassy in Moscow is "understaffed and overstretched" following recent expulsions and due to a protracted diplomatic visa application system.

In particular, the American diplomatic staff had complained that they couldn't even get visas for specialists to repair faulty equipment, such as elevators and fire alarms.

"The authors once again mislead their readers and seek to place all the blame for problems related to consular and visa matters on the Russian side," the Russian Embassy responded. "The information contained in the article does not correspond to the real state of affairs."

Austria's Constitutional Court ruled Wednesday that two government measures to fight the spread of coronavirus in schools, compulsory mask-wearing and splitting classes into two halves to be taught in alternate shifts, were illegal.

The split classes system meant that some pupils had lessons on Mondays and Tuesdays and others on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.

At all other times they were to stay at home.

"In addition, it was decided that all persons present in school buildings, apart from during teaching time, had to wear a mask over their mouth and nose," a statement from the court said.

The NYPD received a bomb threat targeting the Empire State Building on Sunday but have since deemed it bogus, police said.

At 11 a.m., cops received a 911 call saying a bomb would detonate at the Manhattan landmark at noon, according to the NYPD. An ensuing police investigation found no explosives at the site, they said. The call is still under investigation.

The incident comes two days after an explosives-packed RV blaring a recording with a detonation countdown exploded in downtown Nashville.

The blast, which left at least three people injured, is being probed as a possible suicide attack.
