Horowitz: Why I’m now in favor of abolishing the police - TheBlaze
The standard of evidence in our post-constitutional mob rule is not "guilty beyond a reasonable doubt," but ensuring that Black Lives Matter doesn't come to the juror's house and lynch his family. That is essentially the message to America. If the political system, the media, and the street mobs want a conviction, they will get a conviction regardless of the evidence. However, this will reverberate far beyond the defendant himself.

US Postal Service is secretly keeping tabs on Americans' social media posts as part of 'covert operations program' - TheBlaze
According to a March 16 government bulletin obtained by the outlet, the USPS' law enforcement arm is tracking citizens' social media activity to gather data on a host of topics, including "inflammatory" postings and planned protests, that it shares across multiple federal agencies as part of an effort called the Internet Covert Operations Program, or iCOP.
Yahoo News said the document, which was marked "law enforcement sensitive," specifically mentioned an examination of alleged planned activity for March 20 and was distributed through Homeland Security's fusion centers.
"Analysts with the United States Postal Inspection Service (USPIS) Internet Covert Operations Program (iCOP) monitored significant activity regarding planned protests occurring internationally and domestically on March 20, 2021," the bulletin said. "Locations and times have been identified for these protests, which are being distributed online across multiple social media platforms, to include right-wing leaning Parler and Telegram accounts."
The U.S. Postal Service Is Monitoring Americans' Social Media Activity
The United States Postal Service (USPS) is monitoring Americans’ online social media activity beyond the scope of its stated jurisdiction, according to a new blockbuster report in Yahoo News Wednesday.
The mail agency’s Internet Covert Operations Program, known as iCOP, is a surveillance program not previously reported which includes combing through social media platforms to identify “inflammatory” posts and disseminating them across federal agencies.
WTH? Postal Service is Running a "Covert Operations Program" That Tracks and Collects Americans' Social Media Posts
Why is the US government using the postal service to monitor what Americans post on social media?
The law enforcement arm of the US Postal Service is secretly monitoring and collecting Americans’ social media posts, according to documents obtained by Yahoo News.
BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: We Discovered Where the Post Office Likely Got Their List of Conservatives to Spy On
We also noted that the Post Office is spying on groups like the ‘Proud Boys’ but there was no mention of any liberal domestic terrorists like Black Lives Matter and Antifa in the information provided.
From the information we have, we can easily deduce that the USPIS is targeting and spying on conservatives and not radical violent, and destructive liberals.
But how would they identify Americans who are conservative? Those God and country-loving Americans who believe in freedom and don’t agree with communism, how could the USPIS build their list?
We believe that maybe the USPIS didn’t build a list of conservatives to spy on, they stole it.
Last year, only days before the Republican Convention, the Deep State Democrat lovers in the government, this time from the Postal Service, decided to arrest four American patriots. Their charges were they were building a wall on their own to help protect the country because the Democrats were blocking every effort by President Trump to build a wall on the border at that time. The USPIS accused these Americans of absconding donations for their own pleasure. At the time and still today these charges look targeted and timed to embarrass President Trump before the 2020 Republican Convention.

Virginia cop loses job after chief finds out he donated $25 to Kyle Rittenhouse legal fund - TheBlaze
On Tuesday, Norfolk city manager Chip Filer announced that he accepted Norfolk Police Chief Larry Boone's recommendation to terminate the employment of Lt. William Kelly.
The move came on the heels of a Guardian report that named police officers and public officials who donated to Rittenhouse's legal fund. The Guardian's report noted that a data breach at a Christian crowdfunding website revealed that officers and officials donated money to Rittenhouse's fund.
Rittenhouse is accused of two murders after having crossed state lines and shot protesters at an anti-police rally in Kenosha, Wisconsin, following the police shooting of Jacob Blake.
Kelly reportedly donated $25 to the fund using his department email address, and wrote a message of encouragement to Rittenhouse that read, "God bless. Thank you for your courage. Keep your head up. You've done nothing wrong. Every rank and file police officer supports you. Don't be discouraged by actions of the political class of law enforcement leadership."

Medical experts now claim COVID herd immunity is 'off the table,' citing 'independent-thinking' Americans - TheBlaze
As of Wednesday, one-third of American adults were fully vaccinated, while more than 50% of American adults had received at least one COVID-19 vaccine shot, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That is tremendous progress considering vaccinations began less than five months ago.
But doctors who spoke with USA Today said herd immunity is no longer on the horizon, citing Americans who are vaccine-hesitant.

President Joe Biden warns that Fourth of July celebrations might not happen if Americans refuse COVID-19 shots - TheBlaze
According to a Thursday report from the New York Post, Biden warned on Wednesday that Americans may have to nix their plans for "small" outdoor gatherings if vaccination numbers drop off.
At the time of this reporting, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that more than 51 percent of Americans ages 18 years and up have received at least one dose of a coronavirus vaccine.
Biden, however, said on Wednesday that's not good enough.
"Back on March 11, I outlined a vision of what America could look like by the Fourth of July — an America that was much closer to normal life that we left behind more than a year ago," Biden said. "To celebrate our independence from this virus on July Fourth with family and friends in small groups, we still have more to do in the months of May and June. We all need to mask up until the number of cases goes down, until everyone has a chance to get their shot."

Illinois Bill Would Force Health Insurers To Buy Babies For Gay People
The inability to conceive and carry a pregnancy seems to be on the rise for couples in the Western world, due to the rise in the age at which they seek to conceive and for other known and unknown reasons. But also on the rise is the number of gay couples and single women who wish to conceive, and even though they are not technically infertile, they would like insurance companies to think they are.
A new bill in the Illinois legislature, introduced in February and now standing at 25 sponsors, seeks to wholly redefine what it means to be “infertile.”

Horowitz: Idaho Gov. Brad Little thinks 60 days of dictatorial power are not enough for him - TheBlaze
Californians are flocking to Idaho to escape the collapse of their culture and freedoms and in search of liberty. There is even an entire movement to create "Greater Idaho," which would encompass eastern portions of Washington and Oregon as well as northern California. Yet many of them will be disappointed to know that, thanks to leftist Republicans like Gov. Brad Little and some legislators, they as may as well stay put and suffer under Gavin Newsom with the warmer weather.
A year ago, I wrote an article titled, "Governors, not gods: State executives cannot simply do whatever they want indefinitely," observing the shocking tyranny committed by governors who, as of April 20, 2020, had unilaterally vitiated our most basic human rights without legislative input for a full month. Little did I know that a year later, most of these governors, including Republicans like Brad Little, would continue exercising the power of a king indefinitely. Now Brad Little has successfully killed a bill that would ever place any meaningful limitations on his dictatorial powers. Who needs Gavin Newsom when you have Brad Little?

Official Black Lives Matter organization turns on Joe Biden: 'Communities being terrorized at a greater rate than under Trump' - TheBlaze
The Black Lives Matters Global Network Foundation has had no lovefest for Trump, disparaging him as the "racist in the White House" and a "fascist," who implemented "proto-fascism" during his term as the "white supremacist-in-chief." Despite all of the vitriolic scorn that the Black Lives Matter organization has launched at former President Trump, BLM recently went on the attack of Biden, and said he is "sending more military equipment to our neighborhoods than Trump did."
Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, which one of its founders proclaimed last June that "our goal is to get Trump out," had tough words for President Biden on Wednesday.
"Biden's first 100 days are up in 10 days. By then we need him to #End1033, which transfers military equipment into the hands of police across the country – including school & campus police," the official Black Lives Matter Twitter account wrote. "Another example? The military you see out on your streets ahead of the Chauvin verdict."

“Harvard Educated” Democrat Texas Rep: “Modern Science” Recognizes There are “Six” Sexes - The New American
If you want to know what an Ivy League education costing 300k-plus gets you, look no further than Democrat Texas state Representative James Talarico. During a Tuesday public education committee meeting involving testimony on a bill (Texas HB 4042) that would prohibit males claiming to be female from competing in girls’/women’s sports, Talarico claimed that there are not just two sexes, but six.
“Science” says so, in fact, he contended.
What’s more, he apparently thinks that this, which would be a biological phenomenon, somehow has a bearing on an issue involving biologically normal males who claim a different “gender identity,” a psychological phenomenon.
“The thing I want us all to be aware of is that, that modern science obviously recognizes there are many more than two biological sexes,” Talarico said in the committee meeting. “In fact, there are six, which, honestly, Rep. [Cole] Hefner, surprised me, surprised me, too, because I, I, you know, am not well-versed in this, this issue area. I’m not a scientist; I’m a politician, a lot worse than a scientist” (video below).

The Failure of Imperial College Modeling Is Far Worse than We Knew – AIER
Ferguson’s team at Imperial would soon claim credit for saving millions of lives through these policies – a figure they arrived at through a ludicrously unscientific exercise where they purported to validate their model by using its own hypothetical projections as a counterfactual of what would happen without lockdowns. But the June hearing in Parliament drew attention to another real-world test of the Imperial team’s modeling, this one based on actual evidence.

Maher highlighted countries such as Greece and Japan that respect their elders and go to them for wisdom, but noted that America's youth shows disdain for older people.
"This is the only country in the world dumb enough not to get this most basic, intuitive, obvious, 'file-it-under-duh' concept: that if, as they say, you learn something new every day, it stands to reason someone who's logged 10,000 more days is going to be, in general, wiser," Maher stated. "Life is a series of patterns. You don't see it the first time — because it's not a pattern yet — but by the third time, you go 'okay, I get it now.'"
The HBO host asked, "Is there anything more piss-ignorant than not using old people as a resource, not taking advantage of their accumulated knowledge?"
"Do you know the reason why advertisers in this country love the 18-34 demographic? Because it's the most gullible," Maher quipped.

MIT social distancing study finds 'there really isn't much of a benefit to the 6-foot-rule' indoors - TheBlaze
MIT professors Martin Bazant and John W.M. Bush have published a study arguing that "the current revival of the American economy is being predicated on social distancing, specifically the Six-Foot Rule, a guideline that offers little protection from pathogen-bearing aerosol droplets sufficiently small to be continuously mixed through an indoor space."
They found, in short, as CNBC explains, that "the risk of being exposed to Covid-19 indoors is as great at 60 feet as it is at 6 feet — even when wearing a mask."
"We argue there really isn't much of a benefit to the 6-foot rule, especially when people are wearing masks," Bazant told the outlet. "It really has no physical basis because the air a person is breathing while wearing a mask tends to rise and comes down elsewhere in the room so you're more exposed to the average background than you are to a person at a distance."
