Black And Minority-Owned Businesses Are Denied Virus Relief Funds
Many Black and Latino business owners say they are on the verge of losing their businesses because they are currently out of work due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Minneapolis Natives Condemn Man’s Death In Custody, ‘Racist Ideologies’

Congress has passed the Uyghur Human Rights Act, potentially imposing economic sanctions on members of China’s Politburo for the country’s campaign against its Uyghur Muslim minority.

In 1979, Soviet high command determined that a new generation of fighter aircraft was needed to ensure the competitiveness of the Soviet Air Force (VVS) into the 1990’s and beyond. The timing could not have been more apt; it was only several years later that the US air force began researching and developing what would become the highly capable F-22 fighter.

More specifically for the chance of some to hector others about how deeply and systematically racist America is. For mor... more »

Do you know what you're talking about?
I know this clip is already on the GF site, but it’s so cool I wanted it here too. Everything Ian Murray says can equally be applied to many of the BBC’s semi-ignorant pronouncements and mantras.

"Ominous Convergence"
*"Ominous Convergence"* by Jim Kunstler "And so, with the unjust killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, the quest for cosmic justice resumes - that is, the justice that settles all the scores of racial grievance for all time, which, of course, is unlikely to be satisfied by any means. Mr. Floyd was killed by police officer Derek Chauvin who knelt on Mr. Floyd’s neck for eight minutes with the full force of his weight while three other officers stupidly stood by watching and failed to intervene until Mr. Floyd was dead.

A society that is governed in such a way that it fails to protect its people from the catastrophic harm of the COVID 19 pandemic is a society ripe for revolutionary transformation.

Police Leader Defending George Floyd’s Killers Tied To ‘White Power’-Linked Biker Gang
The head of the Minneapolis Police Officer’s Federation has claimed that activists from the city’s Black Lives Matter movement comprises a “terrorist organization.” But a closer look at Lieutenant Bob Kroll’s record indicates that he is the one who poses a danger to the public, with a past marred in accusations of racist violence and attitudes, including charges from fellow police officers that he once wore a “white power” badge on his motorcycle jacket.

A left wing police department killed George Floyd
Barring some amazing revelation from the autopsy, like Floyd didn't die from the cops actions but died from a drug overdose, it's clear that 4 Minneapolis cops treated him horribly. One kept a knee on Floyds throat even as they were calling for an ambulance because they recognized there was a health problem. Unlike many cases where the left screams about police brutality the initial indications are that this was in fact a case of the police using unnecessary and eventually lethal force. I'm only being a bit hesitant since it wasn't that long ago that a heavily edited video seemed t... more »
Trump says that Twitter can't be a publisher and still have platform protection
Internet services like the phone company are immune to lawsuits about what others put on them because they don't control their content. Even insane trial lawyers haven't tried, to my knowledge, to sue phone companies for what people say when using their services. The original idea was to provide the same protection to internet services. For example an ISP can't be sued because a website it hosts posts slander or libel. The website owners can be sued but the ISP that hosts the site can't. Twitter, Google, Facebook, YouTube, etc all benefit from this immunity. However they've abused... more »
Why mailing everyone a ballot is a recipe for voter fraud
In June 2019 California began the process of removing around 5,000,000 names from voter rolls due to inactivity. The state as a whole had a registration rate of 101%, that is it had 1% more registered voters than it had citizens old enough to vote. What happens is people move and die and the voter rolls are not updated. Prior to this new move Los Angeles County hadn't cleaned up its voter rolls for 20 years. This isn't a uniquely Californian problem. The simple reality is across the country there are 378 counties with more registered voters than adults who are eligible to vote. T... more »

Nozick and Libertarianism
Robert Nozick was not a libertarian; he never said that he was. In the Preface to his 1974 book *Anarchy, State, and Utopia* he seems lukewarm about libertarianism; he writes: “With reluctance, I found myself becoming convinced of (as they are now often called) libertarian views, due to various considerations and arguments.” He bases his arguments on the claims about rights (mainly property rights), but his treatment of rights is weak, because he starts with a situation in which people are living in a so-called “state of nature,” which is a mythical concept; in his later work, he ad... more »
