The year is 2121. GOP is livid we still don't have a national voter ID requirement. Democratic intellectuals respond:
"But 25% of African Americans vs 8% of white people don’t have photo ID. Therefore demanding photo ID has the effect of suppressing African American votes."
Funny how Biden's multi-trillion dollar 'infrastructure' investment could not find even a penny to help Blacks get voter IDs. That is the infrastructure Democrats love to keep broken because it suits their purposes. Tell me again why so many African American don't have an ID.
Am I the only one who thinks Democrats sound like every impoverished and famished man, woman, and child in Sub-Saharan Africa will be driving Mercedes before all African Americans can somehow muster up the means and the wits to obtain a photo ID?
America landed a man on the moon 52 years ago. But making sure every African American has a photo ID without incurring any cost or suffering any inconvenience is apparently a bridge too far for America, or so the Democrats have been telling me for a quarter century.
Boy, is there anything more dear to Democratic intellectuals than making the claim gleefully that 25% of African Americans don't have a photo ID -- apparently a situation that 8 years of Obama admin could make no dent in, and Biden admin seems hell-bent on maintaining status quo.
With the mainstream media and all Democratic leaders having flogged for decades the issue of a significant number of African Americans not having a photo ID, has anyone ever seen a 'journalist' interview anyone who says they don't have a photo ID, and ask them why? Odd, isn't it?

On Georgia Election Law Changes

Despite all the wailing and breast-beating in the media and the Democratic circles, I have yet to come across even a modicum of explanation as to what exact changes in the law are undemocratic or in any way even remotely harmful. Our media stinks!
Look, I will be the first to condemn any election law changes that deliberately make it harder for any lawful voter to exercise their choice to vote for anyone they want to. On that front, I have zero tolerance for either political party's shenanigans.
What does it say about the pathetic state of our media and the Democratic Party's insane rhetoric that they are relentlessly condemning changes to the Georgia law by making wild assertions of potential harm for which they establish absolutely zero causal linkage?

Joe Biden and the Democratic Party have gone insane.

GA voting law does not prohibit anything that is not also prohibited in Minnesota or New York. Every state in the nation has prohibitions on electioneering near polling places, which SCOTUS has affirmed as legitimate.
Let us look at the actual GA voting law changes. The changes to the existing law are shown in bold below.

The prohibition applies inside polling places, within 150 feet of a polling place, or “within 25 feet of any voter standing in line to vote at any polling place.”
This entire controversy is not about people dropping dead of hunger and thirst on long voting lines. It’s about electioneering around the polling place by people looking to advertise that they represent a cause, and who try to influence voters by giving them free stuff.

1. Rip-Roaring Truth

Federal judge accuses NY Times, WaPo of being 'Democratic Party broadsheets'

This is so on point, I am going to highlight every single point in the article. This is rip-roaring truth.
thehill.com/homenews/media…
2. D.C. Circuit Senior Judge Laurence Silberman used his opinion to argue that the Times and Post served largely as mouthpieces for the Democratic Party, adding “the news section of The Wall Street Journal leans in the same direction.”
3. “The orientation of these three papers is followed by The Associated Press and most large papers across the country (such as the Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, and Boston Globe),” he continued.

1. On Partisanship

Party loyalties hinder the brain’s ability to get a handle on reality. This article brings together some recent research in a remarkably illuminating way. Let us ponder a few key points.
libertarianism.org/articles/parti…
2. In their 2018 study of why and how partisanship impairs the brain’s ability to process information objectively, NYU researchers Jay J. Van Bavel and Andrea Pereira note that “partisanship can alter memory, implicit evaluation, and even perceptual judgments.”
3. The researchers locate this neural polarization in the part of the brain known as the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex, a region associated with understanding and formulating narratives.

This lower charge ensures conviction. They know they can't convict him on second-degree murder charge.

"NYT: BREAKING NEWS

A judge reinstated a third-degree murder charge against Derek Chauvin in George Floyd’s death, clearing the way for the trial to move forward."
Derek Chauvin was initially correctly charged with third-degree murder. But there was an uproar and they upgraded the charge to second-degree to appease the crowds. Now they reinstate the third-degree murder charge because they know they overcharged and cannot get a conviction.
Second-degree murder is harder to prove than the third-degree murder. Second-degree requires evidence of intent to kill. Third-degree does not. Third-degree is a weaker charge, with a lower burden of proof, than the second-degree.

1. Covid-19 Herd Immunity On The Horizon

Caitlin Rivers, an epidemiologist at Johns Hopkins University: “After millions of infections and the start of a vaccination campaign, the virus is finally, slowly, starting to run out of new people to infect.”
2. Public discussion of “herd immunity” often treats it like an on-off switch. But that’s not right.

Herd immunity is more like a light dimmer. The more people develop immunity — either from having been infected or from being vaccinated — the less easily the virus will spread.
3. Nearly 30% of Americans have now had the virus (that includes many who have never taken a Covid test). About 18% have received at least one vaccine shot. There's some overlap between these two groups, which means that about 40% of Americans now have some protection from Covid.
