In 2016, Dana Rivers, a once-feted campaigner for 'trans rights', brutally murdered a middle-aged lesbian couple and their teenage son in Oakland, California. Last week, after years in custody and countless legal delays, Rivers (formerly known as David Chester Warfield) was finally sentenced to life without parole. And then came a particularly grim twist. This male killer of two women was sent to a women-only prison to live out his days.

If anything captures the dangerous grip gender ideology now has over American public life it is surely this: a man who murdered a lesbian couple being sent to a women-only jail. And what makes it worse is that the Rivers trial has almost been completely ignored by the wider media, activists and politicians.

This was a particularly gruesome case. Prosecutors say Rivers used a handgun, equipped with a silencer, to shoot Charlotte Reed, Patricia Wright and their son, Benny Diambu-Wright. He then stabbed Reed 47 times before setting the family's garage on fire in an attempt to cover his tracks. The killings were said to be motivated by Reed's departure from an 'all-female' biker gang. Rivers was reportedly the gang's enforcer.

Lying legacy media helped murder millions - Mark Crispin Miller

Professor Mark Crispin Miller (MCM) teaches media studies at New York University (NYU) and is an expert in propaganda. Dr. Miller says just about everything concerning Covid was a "propaganda masterpiece." This masterpiece was a murder, disability and sterilization program with more than 675 million CV19 bioweapon injections in America alone, according to the CDC. Could they have pulled off the murder of millions with the CV19 bioweapon/vax without the Lying Legacy Media (LLM)? Dr. Miller says, "Oh, absolutely not. . . . Let me quibble a little bit the term the 'legacy media' by which you mean the New York Times, the Washington Post, the TV networks and so on. It's what we often call the mainstream media or maybe it's better to call them the corporate media because they are less and less mainstream and more and more eccentric. It isn't only those outlets that were all unanimous in pushing the Corona virus panic, the masking cult, the vaccination drive and so on, but also the 'Left' Press. I wrote for them years ago and appeared on Democracy Now as a guest. The 'Left' Press has been almost impossible to distinguish from the New York Times and the rest of them. This helps us understand why and how so many people fell for this."

Amazon is delaying the launch of a major expansion of its Amazon Clinic telemedicine service due to lawmakers' concerns about its privacy practices that POLITICO detailed last week.

According to an email from a person with direct knowledge subsequently obtained by POLITICO, Amazon will hold off on a promotional campaign for three weeks, till July 19.

Currently, Amazon Clinic is available in 33 states and leans on asynchronous care, meaning patients fill out a form to get treated for conditions like urinary tract infections, acid reflux and pink eye as well as to receive emergency contraception and birth control.

Amazon had planned to announce a 50-state launch of synchronous care — treatment provided via live video — on Tuesday. An Amazon spokesperson denied that there was any "delay as a result of an external inquiry."
"Amazon Clinic has stringent customer privacy policies, and complies with HIPAA and all other applicable laws and regulations. We're focused on building products and services that our customers love, and we look forward to continuing to bring Amazon Clinic to even more customers to help address their everyday health care needs."

A Wuhan-based biotech firm has been accused of smuggling the drug's precursor chemicals...

The US Department of Justice on Friday unsealed three federal indictments against four Chinese companies and eight individuals, alleging they had manufactured and supplied precursor chemicals for the lethal drug fentanyl. One indictment claims the defendants were in league with the Mexican drug cartels.

Damian Williams, US attorney for the Southern District of New York, (SDNY) said in a statement:
"Today, we target the very beginning of the fentanyl supply chain: the Chinese manufacturers of the raw chemicals used to make fentanyl and its analogues."
The SDNY indictment charges Amarvel Biotech with "fentanyl trafficking, precursor chemical importation, and money laundering." Amarvel is based in Wuhan, in Hubei province.

Strikes at some organized U.S. Starbucks stores started Friday in Seattle, after the coffee giant and the union representing baristas publicly clashed over claims that the company was not allowing Pride month decor in cafes.

The union, Starbucks Workers United, said more than 150 stores representing nearly 3,500 workers have pledged to join the strikes, which will take place over the next week. More than two dozen additional stores are voting on strike authorizations and the count could rise to nearly 200 stores by the end of the week, the union said.

Last week, the union alleged dozens of U.S. stores were not allowing employees to decorate for Pride month, accusations that suggested a wave of backlash against LGBTQ+ inclusion had reached a perceived liberal bastion in corporate America. Starbucks said it had not revised its guidelines for store decorations.

Comment: Between the social costs of appeasing the lunatic liberal fringe and the financial squeeze of ESG/CEI compliance, companies are treading a razor-thin path of survival:

A Harvard Business School behavioral scientist who co-authored widely-cited research on honesty has been accused of fabricating findings, the New York Times reported.

"As I continue to evaluate these allegations and assess my options, I am limited into what I can say publicly," Francesca Gino said in a post on LinkedIn to which she referred TheBlaze when reached for comment Sunday morning.

"I want to assure you that I take them seriously and they will be addressed," Gino also said in the post, adding that there will be "more to come on all of this."

Gino's work, among other topics, explores the effectiveness of simple interventions that could encourage honesty. For example, a widely-cited 2012 paper looked at whether people would be more honest in filling out tax or insurance documents if a question asking them to attest to their honesty were placed at the top of the form instead of the bottom, as explained in the NYT.

Pathocracy: Incompetent teachers' union head Randi Weingarten fails upward with appointment to advise DHS on 'school safety'

President Joe Biden's Department of Homeland Security has appointed teachers union boss Randi Weingarten to advise its school safety board.

Weingarten, president of the nation's second-largest teachers union, American Federation of Teachers, is widely criticized by Republicans for backing school lockdowns during the coronavirus pandemic and causing the worst academic decline in decades.

"Turns out that if you call concerned parents domestic terrorists and work tirelessly to keep schools closed, you qualify as an adviser to DHS," Parents Defending Education director of outreach Erika Sanzi told the Washington Examiner. "But this is a major red flag — Randi is hyper-political and her current posture is very anti-parent. Her role in recent years has been defined by lies and failure, so in that sense, she'll be a perfect fit for the job."

The ugly envy of the Left over the dead Titanic tourists shows them for what they are - so much for Be Kind

I ADMIRE bravery. I admire adventurers. And I was brought up in a Britain which admired these things too. But much of our country has changed. Where we used to admire adventure we have become cautious and safety obsessed.

Where we used to admire heroism we now favour moaning and victimhood. Where we once admired success we have come to elevate failure. There could hardly be a clearer demonstration of this ugly shift than in certain responses to the submersible tragedy at the site of the Titanic.

It was confirmed this week that the lives of all five people on board were lost due to a "catastrophic implosion". They included 19-year-old Suleman Dawood and his father. It is unimaginable what his grieving, widowed mother is going through now.

The World Health Organization (WHO) is teaching children about masturbation with a video showing adults talking to children about their genitals, as part of the new 'Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE)' guidelines.

The clip shows an adult telling a nine-year-old girl, "sex is not only functional when you're just making babies. I've said before that it's also fun to do, you discover how your body works, and how my body works."

The same woman then explains to the girl that touching your clitoris "gives you a very nice feeling; it's actually very nice when you're touching that button. For example, you can rub it with your finger."

Half of Americans believe President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, received preferential treatment from prosecutors who reached a deal that would allow the younger Biden to plead guilty to tax charges but avoid a gun-related conviction, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found.

The two-day poll that closed on Wednesday showed Americans were divided along partisan lines in their views on the case, with 75 percent of Republicans seeing preferential treatment compared with just 33 percent of Democrats.

Most respondents said the case would not affect their likelihood of voting for the elder Biden next year when he is seeking reelection.


Comment: Then most respondents are idiots.
