The media want to talk about cases in which blacks are wronged by whites.  They do not want to talk about cases in which whites are wronged by blacks.  This is obvious in recent reporting.

We will have to see all the evidence to know for sure, but it looks like George Floyd in Minneapolis was manslaughtered.

When was the last rightwing riot?  Why does the relative rarity of rightwing riots not make us the more civilized, more decent political affiliation?

Behaviors which exacerbate problems of the left -- wealth inequality between races, food deserts in urban areas, to name two -- are not despised by the left.  The left is not interested in solving these problems if that requires lambasting criminal behavior by the left.

Some great men have defended civilization when we needed it.  In this episode, I discuss George E. Albee, Ernest C. Williams, and Robert J. Miller.  It's worth reflecting on what the world would look like without men like them.

A grandmother was stabbed to death by a man who'd been arrested 67 times.  Why was he free?  The bail reform measures passed by the left.  It's time they answer for these cases.

There are two kinds of interviews:  In the first, you are trying to learn from the interviewee.  In the second, you are trying not to.  Jake Tapper did the latter recently.

Hospitals are running out of blood, says the Guardian.  I say it's time for the Red Cross and other blood orgs to start paying for blood.

RawStory posted a misleading photo, then when the mistake was pointed out deleted the entire tweet instead of correcting the photo.  Why?  The perpetrator was black is the likeliest explanation.

A story in NEJM ran in which a doctor expresses sympathy for his racist patient (presumably because his patient was racist against whites).

How can we get away from this tit-for-tat rhetoric surrounding Trump's performance with respect to Coronavirus?  One way is simply to compare US deaths to those in other wealthy countries.  How can we objectively evaluate Cuomo?  Compare NY deaths to those in other states.

Matt Ridley offers an explanation of why the US Coronavirus numbers are getting so much better:  Herd immunity MIGHT be achieved with a much, much smaller number infected than previously thought.

The lowest Coronavirus deaths since March have arrived!  Though there are a number of curiosities regarding the data.

In other news, the 1619 Project has won the Pulitzer because it is leftwing dogma.  One thing that's wrong with it?  Many of the founders, including Jefferson, despised slavery.

Greg Gutfeld has penned a column saying you don't get to be at the big kids' table unless you can suggest policy in advance.  Hear hear.

Marc Andreessen has suggested that we are not making much progress outside of computing.  He thinks it's due to a culture which has become okay with the status quo... how terrible.

I offer my hypothesis as to why the Polish were thought stupid.

Then I tell the story of a fascinating man, Garrett Morgan.  Morgan invented the first good gas mask which he used to save 29 men suffocating below Lake Erie in 1916.

Morgan was later the pioneer of traffic signals, embellished his own triumphs, discovered a hair-straightening solution and marketed skin-bleaching to blacks.  He was discriminated against, but in the end he was acknowledged a hero.

I read a bit from Black Rednecks and White Liberals which points out that perhaps the reason why anti-Irish sentiment went away was because the Irish changed.

Barack Obama was spotted golfing at a country club the day after his wife unveiled her "stay at home" PSA.  I would love to ask him how he justifies that.

There have been 97 "murder hornet" articles written by media in the last two days.  The media scares us into clicking on stuff and wasting our time and making us anxious.  It's their MO.  Why do we keep clicking?

New York has been forcing nursing homes to accept Covid patients.  The Editorial Board of the New York Post called it "evil."  Why in the world would they put Covid patients there?
