JOURNALISM OF THE SAINTS: Rules for the journalistic road!
*FRIDAY, JULY 3, 2020Diomedes visits the Times:* The overall point of the Atlantic essay was perhaps a bit hard to define. On the other hand, its intended point was perfectly clear. The author opened by recalling the shooting deaths of four men. Each man had been shot and killed by a police officer. Three of these deaths, readers were told, constituted a "gruesome cycle." The author's description of that cycle made it sound like the deaths had resulted from wanton, uncaring police conduct. The author didn't offer evidence to that effect, but the implication was clear. As the ess... more »

July Fourth Weekend Will Test Americans’ Discipline
With confirmed cases climbing in 40 states, governors have ordered the wearing of masks in public, and families were urged to celebrate their independence at home.
America's Pathetic COVID-Civil War
Governors have figured out how to accommodate two completely conflicting COVID-perspectives. Normal people are insisting on masks. Crackpots are insisting on their "liberty" to make everyone else sick by not wearing masks. So governors-- in both blue states and red ones-- please the normal people by "mandating" masks, as Texas Gov. Greg Abbott did Thursday (after a record-breaking 8,240 new cases on Wednesday), while pleasing the crackpots by leaving the "mandates" unenforced, so voluntary. And the media plays along and never mentions the lack of enforcement. For example, yesterda... more »

UK Denies Venezuela Access To Its Gold For Food And Medicine

Since the United States initiated a coup attempt against Venezuela’s elected leftist government in January 2019, up to $24 billion worth of Venezuelan public assets have been seized by foreign countries, primarily by Washington and member states of the European Union.

Black Immigrants On The Front Lines Of COVID-19
As the country continues to fight the COVID-19 pandemic, Black immigrants -- immigrants who identify as Black regardless of country or region of birth -- are playing an important role on the front lines in healthcare, food supply, education, and biomedical industries. Black immigrants make up a significant portion of healthcare workers. In 2018, there were more than 560,000 Black immigrant workers in the healthcare sector. These workers made up 3.4 percent of all healthcare workers, a share almost three times their share of the U.S. population. In the food industry at large, there... more »
Cuba’s Two Pandemics: The Coronavirus And The US Embargo
As soon as the first cases of COVID-19 were detected in Cuba, our country mobilized all its resources to contain the spread of the virus.

In Times Of Rapid Change, Victory Comes To Those Who Train For It
One of the gifts of the Black Lives Matter movement is that it doesn’t pretend that a quick fix will solve the problem.

Decades of failed reforms plus research into racism have come to the same conclusion: Only radical change will deliver what we need. The present whirlwind moment will subside. What then? How do successful movements dig in for a next stage of growth? The young... more »

Joe Biden wants to turn the suburbs into crowded cities
As part of Joe Biden's plan to return America to the depressed and troubled Obama era he supports Obama's plan to end the suburbs. Biden also supports Cory Booker's plan to end single family zoning in the suburbs. The effect of these plans would be to cut suburbs off from HUD funding and transportation grants, which keep the roads useable, unless they agreed to end single family zoning and build densified downtowns. Essentially Joe wants us all in warrens like rats. While it's true that some people, generally young single folk with no families or responsibilities, like living in th... more »

But what's really amazing is the context in which he said it: *“People don’t have a job, people don’t know where to go, they don’t know what to do,” Biden said Thursday. “Now we have over... more »

"On the table" suggests that a proposal is among those up for discussion; people gather around the table for rational debate about which proposal is best.
