It’s a bit like that old joke about the USSR’s reporting on their fastest car losing a race to an American car:

“Soviet Car Comes in Second in Race — American Car Finishes Next to Last.”

What’s no joke, though, is the half story our mainstream media are telling regarding COVID-19 “hot spots,” because this deception is leading to half-baked policy.

“Sorry that you were too unevolved to grasp our sublime wisdom.” This seems to be the message from a Georgia clothing store doing damage control after levying a booking fee on whites, while offering a “waiver” to “people of color.”

Here’s a question for the wokesters: If white privilege is actually real, why are white people claiming minority status to advance their careers?

It’s not just Senator Elizabeth Warren, either. Just consider the case of a National Organization for Women board member who, as the NAACP’s Rachel Dolezal did, is using the Fauxcahontas ladder-climbing method.

With a poll last year finding that almost 70 percent of Americans believe another civil war is imminent, many today wonder if our divisions are as severe as they were before our 1861 conflict. Addressing this question Monday at PJ Media, Robert Spencer concludes that they absolutely are not.

The ones today are far, far worse.

“That doesn’t necessarily mean that we are headed for a shooting war,” Spencer then writes — “but we certainly may be.”

It’s a shocking, unthinkable crime: A man rushes a five-year-old neighbor boy playing outside and shoots him in the head, fatally, in broad daylight. But here’s what’s just as shocking: The national media — which couldn’t give enough ink to the death of criminal George Floyd — apparently don’t find this story newsworthy. It could be because unlike in the Floyd case, the victim is white and his killer is black.

They call it closing the barn door after the horse has bolted. But Chicago has an interesting way of dealing with looters, who ransacked the city Sunday night.

Don’t punish the miscreants sufficiently to deter the criminal behavior.

Instead, close thruway exits and raise drawbridges — “shut down” the city’s downtown, in other words. Hmm, haven’t we seen a shut-down strategy used to address another problem just recently?

With 2020’s election shaping up to be another historic contest, there are two mutually opposed, “hidden” factors that will likely shape the outcome. One is Big Tech manipulation and mail-in vote fraud, which can literally shift millions of votes toward Democrats.

The other involves perhaps massive numbers of Trump voters who’ve “gone dark,” as one commentator puts it, and thus will “talk left” to pollsters but vote right on Election Day.

The question is: Will one hidden factor overwhelm the other and be the reason for a Donald Trump or Joe Biden victory?

A New Jersey principal lacking principle has angered residents by calling a pro-police flag “racist” in a move that, via guilt by association, likewise tars the students who innocently waved it. In fact, outraged local parent Brian Nashel appeared on Tucker Carlson Tonight last Friday, after having written a letter of complaint, to make this very point.

It was during a football game last October that students of Millburn High School (MHS) in Millburn, in the Garden State’s Essex County, waved a Blue Lives Matter flag honoring police officers killed in the line of duty. Cops had previously been at the school for the D.A.R.E. anti-drug program, which perhaps inspired the kids’ action. In fact, wholesome as can be, as Fox News host Tucker Carlson characterized it, the banner’s image even made it into the school’s yearbook.

No one was offended at the time, not even MHS principal William Miron. But that was 10 months ago, an eternity in gods-of-the-moving-goalposts, “woke” (d)evolution, and now Miron has sent an e-mail to parents apologizing for the wholesome symbol’s display.

Calling the picture “understandably appalling,” Miron wrote….

Dr. Anthony Fauci recently said that the United States doesn’t need another lockdown. What he didn’t say is that we never needed the first one to begin with, as the wide-scale lockdown was an untried strategy driven by politics and not science and is, it has now become clear, an unmitigated failure.

Our Dr. Anthony Fauci certainly is a well-rounded individual: He has enough positions for any 10 men, changing them like clothes a bit like Superman in the phone booth.

Perhaps this is why his latest comforting counsel, that Americans don’t need another COVID-19 lockdown “if,” isn’t really all that comforting after all.

The “if,” by the way, is if we embrace “five or six fundamental public health measures,” such as wearing masks and social distancing.
