I always look forward to your posts, FWIW. There appear to be several groups... protestors... hardcore BLM Marxists... and Anarchists / Antifa, hijacking some protests and taking them up another notch.

We've made substantial progress reducing police violence, this is a fact. But there is still a huge amount of violent crime in cities like Chicago, a large majority of it black-on-black. From what I have read, unprovoked white-officer-on-black-citizen violence is extremely rare. You make good points on one side, but there are other overwhelming facts.

Unfortunately, there is a lot of emotion and half truths, but not many facts. A few from a former Investor's Business Daily writer and author.

Writer Paul Sperry, @paulsperry_

Jun 1: "FACT: In 2019, 9 blacks, 19 whites, and 6 Hispanics were unarmed when killed by police in U.S. In 2015, by comparison, 38 blacks, 32 whites, and 19 Hispanics were unarmed when killed by police." "

June 4: " 2018, the latest year for which such data have been published, African-Americans made up 53% of known homicide offenders in the U.S. and commit about 60% of robberies, though they are 13% of the population."

June 4: "NEW STUDY: "We find no evidence of anti-Black or anti-Hispanic disparities across shootings, and White officers are not more likely to shoot minority civilians than non-White officers. Instead, race-specific crime strongly predicts civilian race." "

June 4: "Recent studies show blacks are 4X as likely to resist a police officer than whites (based on RDO charges filed). This is the crux of the problem, not racism. Anyone who's watched "Cops" or "Live PD" knows what happens to white perps who resist: They get slammed to the ground, too."

June 4: "Activists demanding a "national conversation" on alleged "systemic racism" in policing don't want to talk about this horrifying statistic:

"A police officer is 18½ times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male is to be killed by a police officer."

Sperry points out, like Dr. Thomas Sowell and others before, that LBJs "War on Poverty" arguably destroyed the black nuclear family.

Sperry also points out that there are reportedly 885,000 African American Millionaires.

There is reportedly a second study from a Mt. Sinai??, but I haven't found it yet. Laura Ingraham had at least three doctors on her program who used it. I know, "anecdotal", but they had upwards of 100 patients on the drug.

Edit. The Youtube doctor in the UK has also been harping on Vitamin D deficiency, especially for people of color. It seems like an easy, cheap, safe fix.

Great News!

Despite trying to bury it, another study proves the effectiveness of HCQ. (Notice CNN dropped it in the middle of the night.) Cuts mortality by 50%.

Key: HCQ has to be used EARLY. Which has been reported for months.

I knew you were young because you play The Race Card at the drop of a hat. Reason & Logic have been shown the door.

Let me guess, you never had to wrap your chops around intellectual giants Dr. Thomas Sowell and Dr. Walter Williams (economic historians) and contemporaries.

Many individuals now reporting our government - ta da! - changed CCP Covid reporting criteria mid stream! Hence, one confirmed case becomes 7, or 17. How hospitals are reimbursed possibly part of the changing criteria.

Data seems to show the MSM is trying to drive Hysteria.

Brian Wesbury@wesbury: "US COVID testing has expanded from around 100k per day in March and April to over 600k now. If we had been testing 600k per day the entire time, and we use the previous positive test rate (which is an assumption), this is what it would look like. *** Today’s surge would be small. *** "

cmt, BTW, one of Dr. Sowell's books is the provocative "Black Rednecks & White Liberals". It challenges many false assumptions and mistaken racial and cultural beliefs.

Coincidentally matches the timing of large, lengthy, packed like sardines BLM / Anarchist protests & riots.

Yes, asymptomatic positives... generally young and healthy. Deaths and hospitalizations consistently down in most areas.

:up: :strong: :cheer:

Hard to keep up with the MSM contradictions.

Churchgoers, Trump rallies = bad.

Burning churches, thousands of rioters & looters shoulder to shoulder for hours = good.

Last I read hospitalizations and deaths still consistently dropping. The virus appears to be weakening.

The Maier - Doss combo was special... time to reload.

I believe Berkeley is conducting small group student-athlete workouts.

Alleged racism.

How about the title, "Senior Graduating Gymnasts don't Want Senior Night spoiled by selfish Politics."

So she got over $100,000 in college scholarship money, Davis was key in getting her into Vet school, but the program is racist?

Good hair.

Notre Dame to open Campus for Fall 2 weeks early

Great. Flexibility.

How about half a season length, 100% playoffs, single elimination, playoff structure for a true national champion? FBS & FCS. One warmup match.

The fatality rate for those under 30 is phenomenally low. I don't have it at hand, but I was looking at a graphic for Covid deaths ... primarily over 70 (with comorbidities), and even more pronounced over 80 years of age.

Contra Costa County currently has only 16 Covid patients in the hospital, and the peak was 47?

The State budget will take a massive hit, and Garcetti is talking about keeping LA County shut down another 3 months?

From Patrick Moore, one of the original founders of Greenpeace who left the organization. Food for thought. Great twitter feed.

"Clear evidence that countries with lockdowns had higher mortality from Coronavirus than countries that did not. Also warm countries tended to have lower mortality even though they had fewer resources. Open the economy - save lives!"

The NFL, NBA, & MLB putting out tentative plans for holding contests.

Both Cuomo and Newsom seemed to have the same approach - protect the young and healthy, and insert elders infected with CCP19 Virus into nursing homes. Dunno. Seems kinda backwards.

Very, very sad.

New York Post: This nursing home disaster is on you, Gov. Cuomo: Goodwin

Define experts? Even the CDC didn't advise us on wearing masks until April 3rd.

I believe we need more data & facts & pragmatism, not hysteria & politics. Our national numbers are being especially driven by New York and other urban areas - not Big Sky geography. But politics may push a uniform approach.

FWIW, I don't believe we shut down the Far West Conference for the Hong Kong Flu in 1968.

Potential large gatherings in New York, New Orleans or Detroit are another matter.

Hallowed Dr. Fauci even downplayed masks and 'silent carriers'. The CDC didn't advise us to wear masks until April 3rd.
