Why don’t these lives matter?
Where’s the outrage? Where’s BLM? Where’s Lebron?
Another week and more lives lost. Until the Democrats stop propagating the false narrative nothing will change.
Black lives matter - I support the words but cannot support the organization because it propagates the false narrative that systemic racism is the primary cause of the disparities(incarceration, teen mothers, fatherless households, income, wealth, etc.) between blacks and whites.
Racism exists, it’s bad, and we should continue to work to reduce it. Excess police force is bad and we should continue to work to reduce it.
BLM organization’s positions and policies do not address the problems (murders, fatherless households, teen pregnancy) and do not address the key root causes (it’s not excessive police force or systemic racism.) https://moxlosllc.blogspot.com/2021/11/wheres-biden-blm-and-lebron-11921.html

Biden/Dems Trash Constitution
Biden, Democrats and Main Stream Media are attacking the fundamental rights that are a foundation of our nation: presumption of innocence, due process, trial by jury, proof of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
Biden-“angry and concerned” about verdict
Jerry Nadler (D Chair House Judiciary Committee): verdict ”justifies federal review by DOJ”
Cori Bush (D MS): “white supremacy in action”
AOC: “ system functioning as designed and protecting those it was designed for [White supremacists]
MSNBC: verdict is an outrage and a brazen miscarriage of justice
Kamala Harris: “there’s still a lot more work to do” [To make our system equitable]

Biden’s anger?
Joe Biden is angry about the Rittenhouse jury verdict. I wonder how much that anger justifies others’ anger. I hope that wasn’t the justification for the man who killed innocent children. But I know propagating false narratives is tearing our country apart.

Build Back Better Busts the Budget
I am tried of Biden's lies.
Biden and his administration continue to claim that the Build Back Better Bill will not cost anything.
This is a bold face lie!
There are three fundamental problems with this statement.
First, the Bill as written has been determined by the CBO to increase the deficit by $367 billion.
Second, the bill includes smoke and mirrors and is full of gimmicks. It includes 10 years of taxes but only includes limited years of the benefits they are so loudly touting: Child care, Pre-K, Child Tax credit. If you include the additional spending of all of these programs for the 10 years of tax collection the Bill adds an additional $2.5 TRILLION of spending and deficits. The charts below show the total spending, taxes and deficit of the Bill as written and of the Bill will all programs present for the 10 years of taxes. There are also two charts that show the components of the spending and their effect.
Third, the US is already running a significant deficit and it's entitlement systems (Social Security and Medicare) are going bankrupt. Combining spending and taxing to claim no cost is disingenuous when the US already has many programs that are not paid for. If the Democrats want to raise taxes, shouldn't they be used to pay for the programs that already exist?
Oh-And this won’t increase inflation?

SS Sucks, Obamacare Sucked, Medicare not Fair
SS Sucks
For those of you that aren’t familiar, your Social Security benefits are based on the average of the highest 35 years of you wages adjusted for inflation. The, in 2021, you will get 90% of the first $11,952, 32% of the next $60,072, ONLY 15% of the next $70,776 and NOTHING for anything over $142,800.
Turns out you will be 63% WORSE off getting social security than you would be if you would have been able to take all of your Social Security taxes and just invested it in abroad stock market index.
Obamacare Sucked
Obamacare increased my Health insurance premiums from around $6000 a year to over $12,000 per year and it significantly increased my deductible and out-of-pocket maximums. Why? Just as predicted, the design of Obamacare distorted the risk pool of private insurance resulting in higher premiums and costs. So, my health insurance premiums clearly did not go down, and they tried their best to make it so I couldn’t keep my doctor.
Medicare is Unfair
Unfortunately (maybe luckily) I will be turning 65 next year and eligible for Medicare. As I start looking at my alternatives I was pleasantly surprised to see that my insurance premiums will now drop to a minimal amount of around $2000 per year and that will cover all my medical expenses (except for prescription co-pays.) No more out-of-pocket. No more deductible.
Obviously, selfishly, I’ll enjoy the savings. But given my financial status and the financial status of our country, it seems like our country is pretty screwed up giving me such low price healthcare.
Crack Sentencing Racist? No Mistake? Yes
Yes. The Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986 disproportionately
affected blacks.
No. The Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986 was not racist.
In the 1980’s there was a dramatic increase in violence and
crime related to crack cocaine, primarily in black communities. In response to
this, and in an attempt to reduce crime and violence in these communities, the
Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986 was design and passed with the full backing and
support of black leaders and the Black Congressional Caucus. It was supported
by Biden, a significant portion of Democrats and a majority of Republicans.
- Congressional Black Caucus co-sponsored and voted for it
- Harlem’s U.S. Representative Charles Rangel help draft the bill
- The United Black Church Appeal, a coalition of African American religious and civic leaders, organized vigils and rallies across New York City to publicize the crack problem and pressure public officials to act
- The Reverend Wendell Foster, an African American city councilman and the president of the United Black Church Appeal, declared, “We are engaged in a new form of genocide.” He added, “As devastating as drugs may be in the white community, they are 10 times worse in the black community.”
- Charles Hughes, African American president of Local 372, District Council 37 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, “…an end to the [heyday] that CRACK dealers have enjoyed until now. Penalties must replace profits for those who are trafficking in drugs and the [high-level] drug [kingpins] must be apprehended and brought to justice as well as [street-level] pushers”
- Anti-drug campaigns emerged in black communities across the United States

Biden's Botched Border Oct 21
Biden’s policies are a mess AND put many innocents at risk and allow Mexican cartels to get rich.
I support immigration. A lot of immigration. But legal immigration, with a mix of merit based (engineers, scientists, entrepreneurs, doctors, mathematicians, etc.) and opportunity-based (poor people who want to work hard, adopt American values, and get ahead). 
(Note-The above numbers are the apprehensions. We do not know how many people get through without being apprehended)
China loves Joe’s Woke”ness”
With China’s increasing size and importance of their economy and military and their interest in expanding in the Pacific and their global influence and retaking Taiwan, can anyone explain why the US is expanding their teaching students about gender fluidity and the false narratives of CRT and shrinking their teaching students about math and science?

Weather’s not a threat to banks
Weather’s not a threat to banks
Biden needs to stop lying. Climate change is not a threat to our financial system.
The New York Federal Reserve: “How bad are weather disasters for banks?”
The answer: “Not very!”
Despite Biden’s claims to the contrary it turns out that because the actual size of financial system dwarfs the cost of weather disasters, adaptation to weather reduces the costs of weather disasters, banks understand risks of weather disasters and adjust their rates and loan portfolios to reflect the risk and banks make money on loans that actually increase after weather disasters.
So. Yes climate change exists. No, it’s not a threat to our financial system. And, no it’s not an existential threat.

AMA’s Advancing Health Equity: A Guide to Language, Narrative and Concepts
Previous Woke”ness”
“Mothers” have been replaced with “birthing people” in Biden’s proposed budget
The White House contact website now includes the gender-neutral prefix and pronoun options “Mx” and “they/them.”
The Biden administration is now allowing applicants to choose their gender when applying for a passport without providing medical certification, and will soon be adding a third gender option.
Biden uses the woke term “Latinx” – which only one in four Latino adults have heard of and only three percent use.
The Biden administration has forced immigration agencies to change how they talk about illegal immigrants, with “illegal aliens” now “undocumented noncitizens” and “assimilation” now “integration.”
Note- I really don’t care about who wants to sleep with whom or who wants to look like whom but I don’t like the departure from science: if you have a functioning SRY gene you have testes and are a male (if you have other rare abnormalities that interfere with the downstream pathways of SRY gene you make look female but you will still have testes and no ovaries).

This will help blacks how?
Arizona State University professor says traditional grading system is 'racist' and demands an end to 'white supremacy' by grading papers based on EFFORT instead of quality, grammar and style. Some students have 'privilege' because they 'embody those habits of white language already'
Asao Inoue, a professor of rhetoric and composition: “Labor-based grading structurally changes everyone's relationship to dominant standards of English that come from elite, masculine, heteronormative, ableist, white racial groups of speakers.”

Did the US screw its school children?
Hmmmm. Maybe we did screw up.
The US had significant lockdowns and school closings and still has significant masking requirements.
Sweden encouraged social distancing BUT did not have significant lockdowns or masking requirements, they kept schools open and did not require students to mask.
To date Sweden has 35% less Covid deaths per million than the US.
While it is difficult and only begun to be quantified, it is clear that the US school lockdowns had a significant negative impact on children's education, social and emotional health. It is clear that these harmful affects negatively and disproportionately affected students of color
Also in a recent study from Sweden, there were no Covid deaths of children during the first 4 months of the Covid outbreak and the incidence of Covid amoung it's teachers was significantly less than the general public.

Media misleads about CRT
In my view CRT’s foundational claim is that the major disparities between blacks and whites today is due to systemic racism today. My problem with this is that it takes away agency, and individual responsibility and misses the real issues causing disparities.
Further it’s beliefs that there is no objectivity, rationality or value in typical Judeo-Christian values like punctuality, hard work will hurt blacks and America
Finall the claim that opponents of teaching CRT are opposing the teaching of history is patently false. Example is the Texas law where the law actually says no students can be taught that the student should feel guilty about subject matter (i.e. racism) because of their race or sex. It doesn’t prevent students being taught subject matter that could make the student feel guilty
Recent analysis highlights how badly the media is misleading the public about what is actually in CRT.
• Coverage largely ignored bedrock assumptions of CRT, including its explicit rejection of rationality and objectivity. This was mentioned in fewer than 10 percent of articles.
• News accounts also rarely mentioned concerns about CRT-aligned practices, such as segre- gated, race-based affinity spaces or the promotion of “anti-racist” racial stereotypes.

Biden's Hidden Methane Tax
Biden continues to claim that he will not tax anyone making less than $400,000. This has been a patently false claim for many of his proposals, policies and plans, not the least of which is his increase in corporate taxes which WILL be passed on to consumers through higher prices, employees through lower wages, investors (i.e. pension funds) through lower returns and everyone through a smaller economy.
Now his methane proposals will be more hidden taxes.
The sources of methane emissions in the US and the effect of Biden's proposals are shown in the chart.
Farm animal operations is the largest at 36% and his proposal has no specific target or plan to reduce these.
The second largest is related to oil and gas production which is 30%. His limits on pipelines, new natural gas leases, and fracking have already started to reduce the amount of oil and gas produced, increasing the price of fuels and, with his proposal to cut this by 75%, there will only be a greater increase in the cost and price of oil and gas, taxing all Americans.
Landfill emissions are the third largest source at 17%. His proposal is to capture 70% of these emissions, which will require significant capital investment and operating costs, increasing the costs of waste disposal affecting all Americans.
His methane proposals do not have any specific plans or targets for the remaining sources of other and coal, 10% and 7% respectively.
I am not claiming that there is not a future benefit in reducing methane emissions, though there is no clear evidence that the benefits of Biden's proposals are greater than the cost of his proposals.
I am saying that lying to the American Public about how his proposals are an indirect tax, and a significant one, on all Americans is a dishonest and unfair way to gain approval and support for his policies and goals.

Anti-CRT law in Texas OK
There is nothing wrong with the Texas anti-CRT law
People are starting to falsely claim that the new anti-CRT Texas law prevents teachers, etc., from teaching about slavery and other negative aspects about our history. This is not true. Nothing about the law, see the operative text below, prevents teaching about slavery or similar things. It only prevents teaching that an individual should feel negatively about such topics based on their sex or race. Not that they can’t feel guilty, only that they should not be taught that they should feel guilty based on their race or sex
The law:”No teacher, administrator, or other employee in any state agency, school district, campus, open enrollment charter school, or school administration shall require, or make part of a course that any individual SHOULD FEEL discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress on account of his or her race or sex.”

It’s not an existential threat
Existential threat? No!
Yes it’s a Problem, BUT not end-of-world
Instead of being 450% as rich as we are now, unabated climate means we'll 'only' be 436% as rich.
No increase in hurricanes.
No increase in wildfires.
Arguments for devastation typically ignore adaptation, which will reduce vulnerability dramatically.
Damage from flooding is decreasing.
Climate policies also have costs that often vastly outweigh their climate benefits. The Paris Agreement, if fully implemented, will cost $819–$1,890 billion per year in 2030, yet will reduce emissions by just 1% of what is needed to limit average global temperature rise to 1.5°C. Each dollar spent on Paris will likely produce climate benefits worth 11¢.
CRT Hurts blacks and tears our country apart
Jack Brewer (black ex-NFL PLAYER) - "This new Colin Kaepernick doctrine that's penetrating the minds and hearts of so many of our underserved black kids across America is the single largest threat to black men in the United States of America, because right now, folks are thinking that they're victims, and they're living in the most prosperous, the most opportunity, in any country in the world. And so this one hurts me, because every day I get up, and I go out and try to help young African American boys become men, and try to instill those values. And when you have someone like this, who has the audacity to call multi-millionaires 'slaves' andcompare a process of someone living their dream, going to the National Football League, comparing that to slavery, it's gone over overboard. And I think Colin Kaepernick needs to do some soul searching, you just watched that video, you see how dark it is, and to take the most fragmented, the most vulnerable population we have in America, where we have kids that 70% of them don't have fathers, most, a lot of them can't, their reading and math proficiency levels rate against third world countries, You have kids that are already hopeless and then you go out and push this mentality and you're supposed to be someone that's a leader. Think about the movement that this guy started, the opportunity that he has, that he could actually come in and promote positivity to young black and African American men and tell him how great this country is. He doesn't have that spirit, and he has an evil anti-American spirit, it is sick and disgusting to think that.

For anybody out there that actually believes what Biden says, the Democratic senator from West Virginia has an interesting perspective
Joe Manchin - “As more of the real details outlined in the basic framework are released, what I see are shell games, budget gimmicks, that makes the real cost of the so-called 1.75 trillion dollar bill estimated to be almost twice that amount…this is a recipe for economic crisis. None of us should ever misrepresent to the American people what the real cost of legislation is.”
