Why doesn’t this life matter

What systemic environment today results in this senseless killing?

What systemic environment today results in the leading cause for young black male death? 

Why do the Democrats continue to propagate the false narrative that systemic racism is the cause of all disparities?

Lena Nicole Marshall, a Georgia sheriff’s deputy, died in the hospital Monday afternoon, just three days after a domestic call in Jackson County turned into a violent shootout.

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.

Where’s Biden, BLM and LeBron 11/9/21

 



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.)

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.

Biden’s shell game

The emperor has no cloths. 

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.”

Let’s go Biden

Biden-destroys systemically racist families?

Let’s  go Brandon. 

Bidens proposal for “free” childcare discourages marriage and families. Why not. The problems disproportionately affecting black communities (crime, drugs, violence) have nothing to do with families or the home. Or so Biden and CRT claim.

CRT - fires people for being white




CRT - fires people for being white

Art Institute of Chicago fires all of their docents.

These are people who for free, spent significant time being trained and then helped educate visitors about the art. 

Why. They were too white.



Biden-Highest taxes in the world

 Let’s go Brandon!

Under the latest iteration of the House Build Back Better Act, the average top tax rate on personal income would reach 57.4 percent, giving the U.S. the highest rate in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

Biden's Botched Border Sept 21


(Note-The above numbers are the apprehensions. We do not know how many people get through without being apprehended)

Biden’s policies are a mess AND put many innocents at risk allow Mexican cartels to get rich. no 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). 



PS - I wonder why they wait until late on Fridays to release this data?

FBI/Garland - There was no insurrection


Garland says that none of the individuals arrested in connection with the events of January 6th were charged with insurrection.

Two movements

One was the BLM protests.  Other was the Trump Protest.  Which one looks more like an insurrection?



Over 70 million people voted for Trump. Tens of thousands of supporters went to Washington to support him on January 6. Thousands march to the capital. Hundreds broke into the capital. Tens had evil intent. This was wrong. It is condemned by all.   It wasn’t a significant threat to our Democracy. It wasn’t an armed insurrection.  The protesters did not kill anybody. 


There were over 1000 BLM riots in hundreds of cities, with repeated riots in multiple cities, causing billions of dollars of damage resulting in over 50 deaths

Batya Ungar-Sargon should get out more and meet more Republicans.

Batya Ungar-Sargon Seems to claim that many Trump voters (and Fox Viewers) are uneducated and support a racist when compared to Biden voters. 

It seems Batya Ungar-Sargon has a somewhat parochial view when it comes to understanding some Republicans. I am in the western suburbs of Chicago and have traveled the world extensively and had a wide range of experiences in science related businesses. By far, the majority of my friends and contacts are highly educated, especially in STEM fields, and experienced in business. And by far, these friends and contacts voted for Trump, both times. I don’t believe they or I am racist.  I also know that, for the most part, we don’t think Trump was much of a person, lacking gravitas, being intellectually lazy, insecure and not well spoken. 

However, once again by far, there is a strong preference for Republican policies over Democrat policies.

And to make sure that you understand why this is you need to understand what is important to us.

First is that markets, open competitive transparent markets, are significantly better at allocating resources than the government is.  This would also include schools and school vouchers.

Second is that we believe that as a country we should provide a safety net for the unlucky recognizing that there are others who will take advantage of it. Essentially this means that our entitlement systems should require and encourage work. 

We feel that CRT is a false narrative that falsely claims that the primary cause of disparities between whites and blacks is systemic racism and fails to take in account the importance of agency and environment.  We feel that CRT is doing significant damage to blacks and our country. 

Perhaps Batya Ungar-Sargon should get out more and meet more Republicans.
