Does The New York Times Actually Care About Mass Shootings?

 
Any black person who is more worried about his child being killed by the police than another black is an idiot. But I don't believe any normal black person does believe that. Joy Ann Reid probably believes it. Yamiche Alcindor believes it. And everyone who reads The New York Times believes it. So the killings will go on. And so will the cover-up.

 Ann Coulter (townhall.com)  "Did you know there was a mass shooting in Indianapolis over the weekend? I briefly saw it on a news crawl, but didn't hear another word about it, so, by Monday, I assumed I had dreamt it.

"Nope. There was a real mass shooting, sending seven kids aged 12 to 17 to the hospital, one in critical condition. The gunfire came from a group of juveniles gathered outside a shopping mall in downtown Indianapolis Saturday night.

"The New York Times didn't report the shooting, which I found odd, because the gunmen were almost certainly black, meaning it was the gun's fault.

"I say "almost certainly black" because kids as young as 12 were out on a downtown city street, unsupervised, at 11:36 p.m. the night before Easter; a Google search of "Indianapolis mugshots shootings" looks like Gemini's artificial intelligence version of a Founding Father; and also -- the Times didn't mention it.

"Luckily for the kids, police were on the scene in about 10 seconds. Twenty-five officers happened to be patrolling downtown on account of this being the third consecutive weekend in Indianapolis with a mass shooting.

"The previous weekend's gunplay left one man dead and five wounded; the earlier shooting also killed one and wounded five. The Times didn't report those incidents either.

"By contrast, last August, the Times was all over a shooting at a Jacksonville, Florida, dollar store. I'm not sure why ..."

Trump’s First Job In 2025: Reverse Biden’s EV Mandate

  Issues & Insights (issuesinsights.com)

The EV mandate will also devastate the domestic automobile industry – yes, it would be a bloodbath, or a death spiral – and decrease mobility in an ostensibly free society

"Should Donald Trump be elected this fall, he should waste no time in reversing Joe Biden’s electric vehicle mandate. He not only overstepped his authority, he set the country directly on a course that will bring nothing but trouble.

"Acting like the authoritarian that the Democrats and media claim that Donald Trump is, Biden, with a pen and maybe a phone, has ordered through his Environmental Protection Agency to issue a rule that will require Americans to replace their internal-combustion engine automobiles with battery-powered cars. The rule doesn’t require Americans to buy electric vehicles, nor does it directly outlaw the sale of automobiles that run on gasoline.

"But in effect, it is a mandate and a ban.

"Forcing the country into EVs is an egregious abuse of power by executive edict. Biden’s rule has been referred to, for good reason, as “a “crackdown on cars,” a “bloodbath” for consumers and an example of chutzpah. American Petroleum Institute President and CEO Mike Sommers wisely suggests that “the American people need to rise up against this rule and reject it.”

"Yes, he has a financial interest in making that statement. But he knows, as do many, that the booted regulatory regime we’re living under “has become the government’s primary mode of controlling Americans,” as Philip Hamburger, a Columbia University law professor, wrote in his 2014 book “Is Administrative Law Unlawful?”

"While “administrative law has avoided much rancor because its burdens have been felt mostly by corporations,” says Hamburger, the beast is no longer being contained.

“ 'Increasingly,” Hamburger says, “administrative law has extended its reach to individuals. The entire society therefore now has opportunities to feel its hard edge.” . . .

 Sage Steele EXPOSES Woke ESPN For Their PHONY Joe Biden Interview | Don't @ Me With Dan Dakich (youtube.com)

Ex-ESPN host reveals ‘every single question’ in Biden interview was ‘scripted’ by network execs (msn.com)  "Former ESPN anchor Sage Steele revealed that her interview with President Joe Biden shortly after he took office in March 2021 was “scripted” by executives at the Disney-owned network.

"Steele — who was “sidelined” by ESPN later that year after she criticized the company’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate and made controversial comments about former President Barack Obama — told Fox News that she was beholden to a “structured” interview.

“ 'It was very much ‘This is what you will ask. This is how you will say it. No follow-ups, no follow-ups. Next,'” Steele told Fox, adding that each question was “gone over dozens of times by many editors and executives.” . . .


Eyewitness Accounts of Sexual Violence Against Israeli Women on October 7th

Eyewitness Accounts of Sexual Violence Against Israeli Women on October 7th (youtube.com)

Breasts chopped off. Women shot in the groin. Dead bodies of women without underwear. These are just some of the eyewitness accounts of sexual violence against Israeli women on October 7th. Don’t look away.

Israel presses U.N. to investigate charges of sexual violence by Hamas fighters | MPR News.

. ."Simcha Greiniman, a volunteer rescue worker who helped collect bodies on Oct. 7, recounted discovering the body of a woman laying on the floor of her home.

"She was naked. She had nails and different objects in her female organs," he said, visibly emotional and hesitating between words. "She was abused in a way we could not understand and could not deal with."

In another home, Greiniman encountered the body of a woman leaning on a bed, naked from the waist down, shot through the back of her head, he said.

"I'm standing in front of you to make sure that you hear the voices of those women that cannot stand next to us now and be here to scream out what happened to them," Greiniman said.

. . ."It seems one of the reasons they don't want to turn women over that they've been holding hostage, and the reason this pause fell apart, is they don't want those women to be able to talk about what happened to them during their time in custody," said State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller at a press briefing Monday." 

There is such a great evil in those doing this and one must fear that Democrats and Biden are cowering before it. TD

California Businesses Take On Gavin Newsom Over Tax Hikes

 The Wall Street Journal (msn.com) 

Presumptuous Politics

 "A coalition of California companies is going to war with Gov. Gavin Newsom and his Democratic allies over taxes it says have grown out of control in the Golden State.

"The businesses have gathered enough signatures to put a measure on November’s ballot that would require two-thirds of voters to approve most local tax increases and roll back some recently enacted ones. If passed, it would be one of the most significant changes to the way California funds its government since 1978’s Proposition 13, a voter-approved law that severely limited property tax increases.

"Backers say it is necessary to stop continued tax hikes that are making it too expensive to operate in California and pushing companies to leave the state. Real estate businesses in Southern California are among the biggest funders, according to state campaign finance records, partly in response to a surcharge on luxury home sales that Los Angeles voters passed in 2022.

"Newsom, local officials and labor unions say the proposal would decimate funding for basic services such as trash collection and firefighting and would make budgeting decisions near-impossible.

"The companies spent some $16 million to gather signatures to put their proposal before voters and are gearing up for a fight political analysts say could draw tens of millions of dollars in advertising by both sides.

“ 'The business community is fed up, they want to start stepping up to make a positive change. And they recognize that if they don’t do it, nobody will,” said Rob Lapsley, president of the California Business Roundtable, an advocacy group representing some of the state’s biggest businesses and leading the “yes” campaign." . . .

Newsom's Restaurant Pays $16 an Hour Despite Law Crippling Fast Food Chains with $20 Minimum Wage (msn.com)  "Hasn't California Gov. Gavin Newsom had enough problems with restaurants to exercise some caution around the issue of eateries?

"You may remember, back in the heyday of California's brutal COVID-19 lockdown regime -- where most indoor dining was shut down and patrons were forced, by law, to wear masks at almost all times and remain in small groups -- Newsom was photographed maskless and mingling at a large birthday party at a Michelin-starred restaurant called the French Laundry.

"These images should have ended Newsom's political career, but this is California, he's a Democrat and all can be forgiven if that's the case: . . ."


Israel-Iran Shadow War: Iran Tells US to Step Aside Amid Tensions With Israel -

Joe is molded in the image of Obama and Iran must know that. TD

 Iran's contempt toward Biden and the U.S.; Bloomberg

The Islamic Republic has said it will deliver a “slap” to Israel, its arch enemy. Still, it’s unclear when that would happen or whether Iran would try to attack Israel directly or through one of its proxy groups such as Hezbollah, based in Lebanon.

Iran Tells US to Step Aside as It Readies Response to Israel (msn.com)   Bloomberg) -- "Iran said it asked the US to “step aside” as the country prepares a response to a suspected Israeli attack on its consulate in Syria while Hezbollah, its main proxy in the Middle East, warned the Jewish state it’s ready for war. 

"In a written message to Washington, Iran “warned the US not to get dragged into Netanyahu’s trap,” Mohammad Jamshidi, the Iranian president’s deputy chief of staff for political affairs, wrote on X, referring to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The US should “step aside so that you don’t get hit.”

“ 'In response, the US asked Iran not to hit American targets,” Jamshidi said. 

"The US hasn’t commented on the alleged message Iran had sent.

"CNN reported that the US is on high alert and is preparing for a “significant” response from Iran against Israeli or American targets in the region.

"NBC, citing two unnamed US officials, said President Joe Biden’s administration is concerned any attack could be inside Israel, specifically against “military or intelligence targets, rather than civilians.” . . .
