Katie Yoder at Townhall notes few people are reporting that Planned Parenthood handed out their annual Media Excellence Awards last week. They used to be called “Maggie Awards,” after their founder Margaret Sanger. They proclaimed “We are so thankful for their fearless and honest reporting about what is at risk when people are denied one of their most fundamental human rights — their access to health care.”

Translation: they honor “fearless and honest” advocacy of the Planned Parenthood position and the libertine Left. But some of these don’t award “excellence” — they award fake news in defense of Planned Parenthood.

I’ve long noticed the peculiar fanaticism of the Bazelon legal dynasty to hatch ideas that raise the crime rate and get more black men murdered by other black men. There was David Bazelon, the most important judge in the country not on the Supreme Court during the Warren Court years. He was chief judge of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals in Washington and often conspired with the Supreme Court’s svengali William Brennan to tee up cases for the Warren Court to help more than double the murder rate in America from 1964-1975. Among many other bad ideas, Judge Bazelon came up with the Temporary Insanity defense.

And there are his granddaughters Emily and Lara Bazelon, both beavering away to bring back the bad old days of high crime rates.

We’re used to imagining extinct civilizations in terms of the sunken statues and subterranean ruins. These kinds of artifacts of previous societies are fine if you’re only interested in timescales of a few thousands of years. But once you roll the clock back to tens of millions or hundreds of millions of years, things get more complicated.

When it comes to direct evidence of an industrial civilization—things like cities, factories, and roads—the geologic record doesn’t go back past what’s called the Quaternary period 2.6 million years ago. For example, the oldest large-scale stretch of ancient surface lies in the Negev Desert. It’s “just” 1.8 million years old—older surfaces are mostly visible in cross section via something like a cliff face or rock cuts. Go back much farther than the Quaternary and everything has been turned over and crushed to dust.

Freeberg is fed up.

The whole point of the book I’m writing is that I, like millions of others, want to see liberalism go away but of course that arouses a question — what parts of it? Not the people themselves.

John Hinderaker at Power Line takes a peek behind the Narrative.

Given the demography and geography of Berkeley at the time–she was 10 years old in 1974–it seems highly unlikely that Harris, the daughter of two PhDs, one from India and one from Jamaica, was bused into a white school so she could escape the ghetto and mix with the children of educated parents.

But that isn’t what strikes me most forcibly about this story. A Democratic presidential contender lied about her background for political gain? The horror! Or, rather, take a number. At least Harris hasn’t claimed to be a member of an Indian tribe.

Hey, being a fake victim worked well for Obama.

Audacious Epigone has a view.

The night was clearly Kamala’s. “As the only black person on stage, I would like to speak on the issue of race.” And then she tossed and gored Biden, who, being a pale white male, had no way to counter.

Scott Adams predicted over a year ago that the modern Democrat party has no room for a nominee who is pale or male. So Kemala Harris will get the magic ticket.

I wonder whether she will try for a twofer by picking Fauxcahontas as her VP candidate? This could get entertaining.

One of my themes in my 2008 reader’s guide to Barack Obama’s memoir, America’s Half-Blood Prince: Obama’s ‘Story of Race and Inheritance’ was that growing up of mixed race in post-war Hawaii was radically different than in most of the rest of the U.S. At Punahou Prep, Obama was “just another mixed kid.” He had to strenuously re-invent himself as black to succeed in politics.

Several years ago France passed a law against wearing the hijab in public. This was a rearguard action by what remains of French culture in a society that has already been heavily Islamized, and is at least 15% Muslim. Needless to say, the Muslim population of France considers the new law an outrage, and is taking active steps to thwart it.

There are more Muslims in France than there are black people in the U.S. Think about that.

The first video talks about the fact that these acts are provocations — elements of the “soft jihad” that weaponize aspects of kuffar culture, in this case the strong taboo against “discrimination” — to demoralize and weaken civil society among non-Muslims.

Sound familiar? Repeat after me: Black Lives Matter.

The second video features a former (or lapsed) Muslim who explains in no uncertain terms what all these burkini capers mean in terms of the 1400-year-old war waged by Islam against the infidels. No one is a fiercer defender of women’s rights than a woman who has managed to escape the stranglehold of sharia.

For years I’ve been having fun with the media’s Crops Rotting in the Fields trope, where growers’ PR firms fill in whatever crop is in over-abundance this year — pears, brussel sprouts, kumquats, whatever — and announce that due to the Illegal Immigrant Shortage Crisis, the Crops Are Rotting in the Fields. This seems to trigger an atavistic Oh No, We’re All Gonna Starve! emotion in reporters.

Yet here is a classic version of that article, but not even concerning food. Instead, the crisis is that rich people in Vail aren’t getting their landscape water features updated as soon or as cheaply as they’d like.

Bloomberg: White House Considers Capital Gains Tax Break That Would Benefit Wealthy

Name a ‘capital gains tax break’ that would NOT ‘benefit wealthy’. Go ahead. I’ll wait.

An honest headline, one for a NEWS organization, would have been ‘White House Considers Capital Gains Tax Break’. But that’s not the important part, for Bloomberg; the important part is the ‘Benefit Wealth’. They have to stick that in there so you’ll know that the White House is Contemplating Evil. The fact is that any ‘tax break’ is going to ‘benefit wealthy’, because wealthy people are the ones who are paying most of the taxes.

CNN: Trump considers bypassing Congress to cut capital gains tax on wealthy, report says

This is even more dishonest. They might as well have used the headline ‘The Latest Evil Thing Trump Is Going To Do’. The focus here is not on benefiting the wealthy, although that notion gets a drive-by, but what a low-live MF that Trump is.

Any cut in the capital gains tax won’t just benefit the wealthy, but anybody who pays capital gains, including Aunt Minnie in Kenosha who is depending on withdrawals from her IRA in order to fund her retirement. Certainly wealthy people will get a disproportionate benefit, but that’s because wealthy people have more money to invest — and they do invest it; they don’t just stick it in a cupboard somewhere — and so they pay most of the capital gains taxes.

But, again, the focus is on Trump, and any stick they can find to beat him with (even if they have to build it out of distortions) will do.

This sort of crap is why people rate ‘journalists’ below even Congress in trustworthiness.

For the past few months, I’ve been waking up at nearly the exact same time every night: 2 a.m. Conversing with friends, I learned that plenty of people have experienced this same issue. But when I turned to the medical literature, I found something even more bizarre: Apparently, prior to the 18th Century, us humans used to split our night’s rest into two phases. One started shortly after dusk and ended at midnight, and we followed it with another that began at 2 a.m. and ended just after daybreak.

If you are following the timing, that left about two hours free in the middle of the night. By analyzing books, medical and court documents, and other texts from the time, historians have surmised that people indeed slept in two phases, and spent the middle bit of the night essentially having a blast. They socialized, read, drank, and some even worked. At least some scholars said it was the ideal time to have sex if you wanted to conceive. It seemed like a great time to be alive—and awake.

My experience has been that 2:00 a.m. is just about the time the data warehouse load breaks and somebody from the NOC calls you to fix it. Do production sjupport for ten years and, yes, you will wake up at 2:00 a.m. whether you need it or not.
