he Democratic Party press has done its best to suppress news about the riots that have devastated cities across the country, but it is a hard secret to keep. Sometimes their efforts would be amusing, if the subject were not so serious. Here are a couple of minor cases in point from the Democrats’ flagship newspaper here in Minnesota, the Star Tribune.

While 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse shouldn’t have traveled from his home in Illinois to Kenosha, Wisconsin Tuesday, he however had the right to defend himself when rioters threatened his life (something the liberal media have been lying to their viewers about). But during Thursday’s CBS Evening News, correspondent Mola Lenghi took things to a disgusting low and mourned the death of one his attackers, Anthony Huber.

…

As NewsBusters reported Wednesday, the incident involving Rittenhouse began after he was chased into a parking lot by rioter Joseph Rosenbaum, a convicted sex offender who was caught on video earlier that night shouting the “N-word.” After Rittenhouse allegedly shot that attacker, he continued to flee as a mob of rioters pursued him. That crowd included Huber, who hit the kid with his skateboard, and Gaige Grosskreutz.

Let’s stipulate starting out that Kyle Rittenhouse, the 17-year-old from Antioch, Illinois, who has been arrested and charged with murder for shooting two people during the Kenosha riots two nights ago, should not have been present at the scene with a semi-auto rifle. That’s no place for a 17-year-old, even if he is a regular at the gun range. And resorting to vigilantism is a sure path to a breakdown in the rule of law and perhaps even open civil war. We’ll hold off a recitation of Lincoln’ Lyceum Address on this point for some other time, as well as scoring the appalling negligence of Democratic political leaders in Wisconsin.

That said, there appears to be a decent case that Rittenhouse acted in self-defense. Who says this? Sit down for the answer: a team of reporters from the New York Times. I’m starting to think someone from Fox News has spiked the water at the Times, as this story makes two sensible news stories in one day from the Times. Or maybe the panic is that high at DNC headquarters.

There is new evidence in the George Floyd case, posted yesterday (Tuesday, August 25, 2020) at the Minnesota court website. These appear to be exhibits to a motion to compel disclosure in the criminal case against Tou Thao, one of the officers involved in the Floyd incident.

This evidence strongly supports the hypothesis set forth in my prior posts on the Floyd incident, in late May and early June, suggesting that Floyd died of fentanyl overdose. There are two memos by personnel of the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office regarding two interviews with the medical examiner who performed the Floyd autopsy, Dr. Andrew Baker. Dr. Baker is identified as the Chief Hennepin County Medical Examiner. There is also a page of handwritten notes, apparently either by Dr. Baker or by someone who talked to him.

CNN — the network where Brian Stelter preaches that the Republicans and Fox News are guilty of “asymmetric lying” — was dramatically bending reality in the 5 am hour on Tuesday. On Early Start, they went live to correspondent Omar Jimenez, who described the images of buildings ablaze as being in “stark contrast” to the events going on in the daylight, “which were largely peaceful demonstrations.”

The chyron was unbelievable: “FIERY BUT MOSTLY PEACEFUL PROTESTS AFTER POLICE SHOOTING”.

Before turning to Jimenez, co-host Laura “daughter of Valerie” Jarrett explained “There were protests in several other cities yesterday as well, most of them peaceful, although an officer was attacked with a cane in San Diego.”

Just after midnight, in the wee hours of Wednesday morning, the riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin turned deadly after a teenager allegedly killed two and injured a third. The protracted incident was an apparent case of self-defense (though he was charged with first-degree intentional homicide), as the teen was fleeing from a mob of violent rioters. But the viewers of ABC, CBS, and NBC were treated to lies and misinformation during their evening newscasts later that day.

Video evidence from multiple angles show 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse running into a parking lot as a violent rioter chased after him and threw something at him. As the assailant got closer, Rittenhouse turned and fired his rifle. The 17-year-old was then chased down the street as a violent mob attacked him. He fell to the ground and was beaten with a skateboard by one assailant and another brandished a handgun at him. Again Rittenhouse defended himself with his rifle.

But that’s not the story that was told to network news viewers.

Steve has a detailed analysis of the ‘Kenosh shooter’ situation, and better links to videos than you will find in any DemLegHumpMedia outlet.

Reader Stephen McAteer provided a link to a Twitter video of the entire Kenosha shooting incident. I can’t repost it, but I’ll post this link.

It shows the victim running from terrorists. He falls down, and people begin attacking him. One kicks him, as shown in the photo above. Another hits him in the head with a skateboard. A third runs and stands over him. This person appears to be the one who was shot in the arm.

In a remarkably competent performance, the victim shoots the man who kicked him, the skateboarder, and the man with the arm wound, in that order. Then he stands up and moves toward the police for safety.

More shots are fired in the video, but it doesn’t appear they came from the victim. They sound like handgun shots. The rifle shots have a different sound.

It appears he only shot each attacker once, and he shot while they were attacking, not later in retaliation. When he approached the police, he raised his hands to indicate he was not going to give them any problems, and the police did not take him into custody or order him to lie on the ground or put his gun down. They didn’t appear to be concerned about his rifle, so maybe they knew him as a neighborhood defender.

Yesterday it suddenly occurred to me that the town my cousin lives in might be close to Kenosha. I texted her to find out. She says the closest part of Kenosha is 15 minutes away. Her son’s girlfriend lives in Kenosha.

I asked how things were going. She told me over 600 cars from Minnesota had arrived. Terrorists or protestors? It appears that the answer to that question, in many cases, depends on the local response. If the police and citizens show up in a display of force, visitors protest relatively peacefully and then leave. If not, terrorist rioting is likely. Her bedroom community has a population of around 20,000, so the arrival of several thousand potential rioters is a serious threat.

Looks like the sore losers at CNN are looking for reasons to get sued again. After former Covington Catholic student Nick Sandmann roasted the media last night at the Republican Convention, CNN analyst Joe Lockhart couldn’t help himself and had to send out a bitter tweet attacking Sandmann.

As Sandmann was speaking Tuesday night the political analyst and former Clinton press secretary tweeted out his grouchy opinion that no one asked for:

“I’m watching tonight because it’s important. But I don’t have to watch this snot nose entitled kid from Kentucky.’

He’s even more entitled after winning stunning libel suit settlements from, oh, let’s say, CNN….

Severian digs into the news.

I see the citizens of Kenosha have started opening fire.

That’s what it’s going to come to, nationwide.

Folks who fancy themselves cynics like to say that the Powers That Be don’t want the riots stopped — they’re SJW True Believers, and nothing gets their thighs moister, faster, than a good race riot. But look, y’all: nobody’s that stupid. Not even a tertiary-educated ovulating White Democrat from a gated community. They like being in charge, and even they have finally figured out that if this goes on much longer, there won’t be anything left for them to be in charge of — see the recent, widely-reported mass exoduses from California, New York City, Minneapolis, etc.

No, the truth is much more sordid than that. They know that eventually, someone’s going to start shooting. They’re just trying to make sure their name isn’t on it.

ZMan is there for you.

Like the Democrat convention, the Republican convention is mostly about the past, in that it is packaged and marketed to people who no longer exist. The Democrats put on a show that would have been great for their coalition of a generation ago. The Republicans are doing much of the same, tailoring their pitch to white civic nationalists, feeling generous in their prosperity. It’s a lot of happy warrior stuff, even though the warriors are too old now to be happy about anything.

The Washington Post’s “factchecks” of the first night of the Republican National Convention mostly represent Democratic Party rebuttals to what are debatable political contentions. One, however, stuck out as especially misleading.

The first part of Haley’s assertion is indisputable. The Obama administration sent the Iranian terror regime a planeload of cash. It says so right there in Glenn Kessler’s piece: “An initial payment of $400 million was handed over on Jan. 17, 2016, the day after Iran released four American detainees, including The Washington Post’s Jason Rezaian.”

The second part of Haley’s contention is merely an opinion — debatable, perhaps, but not fact-checkable.

Steve has a biscuit victory marred by a chicken FAIL.

’ve learned a few things about flour over the last few weeks. First of all, you don’t need bread flour to make bread. Some kinds of bread need high-gluten flour, but others don’t. The type of bread that surprised me is the baguette. You would think a crusty, airy loaf of bread would have to be made with bread flour, but it’s not true. Baguettes should be made with flour that is lower in gluten. That’s not my opinion. It’s the opinion of people unlike me who make prizewinning baguettes.

Today I learned that biscuit flour is the wrong flour for biscuits.

Who are the best type of Republicans to give the GOP perspective on night one of the party’s convention? Well, if you’re at MSNBC, the answer is ex-Republicans who are doing their best to elect Democrats. In order to understand the out of touch, delusional perspective MSNBC holds, it’s helpful to see a list of who the network turned to on Monday night for coverage.

As soon as the last speaker was done, MSNBC featured co-host Nicolle Wallace. She’s an ex-Republican aide to the 2008 John McCain campaign who promised (if necessary) to vote for Bernie Sanders in 2020.

Brian Williams introduced Steve Schmidt, he’s an ex-Republican aide to the 2008 John McCain campaign who was now determined to elect Democrats. As Brian Williams said: “Back with us tonight, Steve Schmidt, veteran political strategist, leader of the John McCain ’08 campaign effort, who has since left the party. He was among the founders, in fact, of the Lincoln Project, dedicated to the defeat of one Donald Trump and Trumpism.” And by the way, he also interviewed for a leadership positioning the 2016 Trump campaign.

The need to draw on our capacity to think long-term has never been more urgent, whether in areas such as public health care (like planning for the next pandemic on the horizon), to deal with technological risks (such as from AI-controlled lethal autonomous weapons), or to confront the threats of an ecological crisis where nations sit around international conference tables, bickering about their near-term interests, while the planet burns and species disappear. At the same time, businesses can barely see past the next quarterly report, we are addicted to 24/7 instant news, and find it hard to resist the Buy Now button.

What can we do to overcome the tyranny of the now? The easy answer is to say we need more long-term thinking. But here’s the problem: almost nobody really knows what it is.

Yeah, these bricks are, like, so 5000 years ago.

But the brick as we know it causes significant environmental problems, by using up raw, finite materials and creating carbon emissions. That’s why Gabriela Medero, a professor of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering at Scotland’s Heriot-Watt University, decided to reinvent it.

Originally from Brazil, Medero says she was drawn to civil engineering because it gave her passion for maths and physics a practical outlet. As she became aware of the construction industry’s sustainability issues, she started looking for solutions. With her university’s support, Medero joined forces with fellow engineer Sam Chapman and set up Kenoteq in 2009.

In 2011, he and colleague Gina Riley surveyed 232 parents who unschool their children, which they defined as not following any curriculum, instead letting the children take charge of their own education. The respondents were overwhelmingly positive about their unschooling experience, saying it improved their children’s general well-being as well as their learning, and also enhanced family harmony. Their challenges primarily stemmed from feeling a need to defend their practices to family and friends, and overcoming their own deeply ingrained ways of thinking about education. (The results are discussed at length here.)

Universal education through schooling is not feasible. It would be no more feasible if it were attempted by means of alternative institutions built on the style of present schools. Neither new attitudes of teachers toward their pupils nor the proliferation of educational hardware or software (in classroom or bedroom), nor finally the attempt to expand the pedagogue’s responsibility until it engulfs his pupils’ lifetimes will deliver universal education. The current search for new educational funnels must be reversed into the search for their institutional inverse: educational webs which heighten the opportunity for each one to transform each moment of his living into one of learning, sharing, and caring. We hope to contribute concepts needed by those who conduct such counterfoil research on education–and also to those who seek alternatives to other established service industries.
