Sheriff’s deputies in Compton are returning to their patrol duties Monday following a chaotic weekend that involved a series of street takeovers and a mob of looters that left a trail of destruction at local stores.

Video captured a wild scene at an Arco gas station near Alondra Boulevard and Central Avenue early Sunday morning where a large group was caught on video bum-rushing an Arco gas station and stealing thousands of dollars’ worth of merchandise, all while the clerk on duty hid inside.

The video shows one man breaking the glass door while dozens of looters crowd behind him. Moments later, the group was seen grabbing everything from drinks, snacks, alcohol and even condoms.

Straight Outa Compton.

Deputies with LASD’s Compton station had been responding to several illegal street takeovers earlier in the night, LASD said.

Investigators said the two largest takeovers took place at the intersections of Long Beach Boulevard and Rosecrans Avenue and near the gas station looting incident.

The new law, called the FASTER Act, took effect as of Jan. 1, 2023. Shortly before that, an industry publication called Food Manufacturing reported that many manufacturers see the new requirements as “not simple or practical.” If the ingredients of a product don’t include sesame, the maker is required to take steps to make sure that sesame stays away from the product.

Labels that indicate the item is processed in the same facility as sesame-containing foods aren’t enough to protect the company from recalls if some sesame were to find its way into the product.

Quite naturally, rather than undergo the tedious and expensive required process to clean machinery of any possible trace of sesame before using it for food that normally doesn’t contain sesame, they just added trace amounts of sesame to all of their foods, therefore saving themselves a lot of government-mandated trouble and expense. The government, of course, didn’t see this coming.

So now people who are allergic to sesame face an incredibly constricted selection of foods, compared to before. “We’re from the government, and we’re here to help.” Thanks a lot, guys.

Chicago continues its descent into an unlivable dystopia. Last night, mobs rioted, taking over portions of the city and wreaking devastation of various kinds.

…

Everyone knows about Chicago’s sky-high murder rate, but this kind of wanton lawlessness, apparently beyond the power of the police and normal citizens to control, is more devastating to the life of a city. Who in his right mind wants to be anywhere near Chicago?

Thank goodness those heroic gay men saved us so heroically from some obscure disease called Mpox that they didn’t even let become common enough that you or I had ever heard of it.

Oh, wait, Mpox is what they now call Monkeypox because Monkeypox was too memorable and the Authorities were worried that you’d remember it. And if I remember correctly, although who can remember back that far, gay men didn’t save us from monkeypox. Instead, they inflicted it on each other.

There’s an idea about how children learn to read that’s held sway in schools for more than a generation — even though it was proven wrong by cognitive scientists decades ago. Teaching methods based on this idea can make it harder for children to learn how to read. In this podcast, host Emily Hanford investigates the influential authors who promote this idea and the company that sells their work. It’s an exposé of how educators came to believe in something that isn’t true and are now reckoning with the consequences — children harmed, money wasted, an education system upended.

An experimental mRNA cancer vaccine developed by Moderna Inc and Merck & Co cut the risk of death or recurrence of the most deadly skin cancer by 44% compared with Merck’s immunotherapy Keytruda alone, U.S. researchers reported at a medical meeting on Sunday.

The findings suggest that adding a personalized cancer vaccine based on mRNA technology to Keytruda, which revs up the immune response, could prolong the time patients have without recurrence or death, said Dr. Jeffrey Weber of the NYU Langone Perlmutter Cancer Center, who presented the findings.

Good news.

Educational attainment has not replaced race in that respect, but it is increasingly the best predictor of how Americans will vote, and for whom. It has shaped the political landscape and where the 2024 presidential election almost certainly will be decided. To understand American politics, candidates and voters alike will need to understand this new fundamental.
Americans have always viewed education as a key to opportunity, but few predicted the critical role it has come to play in our politics. What makes the “diploma divide,” as it is often called, so fundamental to our politics is how it has been sorting Americans into the Democratic and Republican Parties by educational attainment. College-educated voters are now more likely to identify as Democrats, while those without college degrees — especially white Americans, but increasingly others as well — are now more likely to support Republicans.

It’s worth remember that we have had for the last 20 years a proven technology for using less gasoline without all the annoyance and anxiety of being dependent on recharging frequently rather than filling up once a week for ten minutes: the hybrid.

Exactly so. I would never buy an all-electric car–the disadvantages are just too great–but I can’t see myself buying a non-hybrid car in the future–the advantages are just too great, and the prices have come down so much that any premium charged over an all-gas car is trivial.

Trust the government to do the wrong thing when the right thing is staring them in the face.

If our children now can know the world is dying an environmental death without a future. If our children can now know how and when and what sex is all about before they know how to even count. If children can decide to mutilate themselves to the gender gods before they know what a pubic hair even is. If children can soon vote in most places at the tender age of 16. If they have nothing to learn now because ChatGTP will do that all for them. If they know what nuclear war is beyond hiding under desks. Then it is time to put them to work. They’re adults now.

Because they have no such a thing as childhood anymore. That was swept swiftly out the door with all the dust of yesterday’s dreams. Mother Goose was murdered in cold blood for being white. Cinderella kicked the Prince in the b*lls and went to the ball on her own. Black Beauty was murdered in cold blood for being black. Dr. Seuss was burnt at the stake for promoting eggs and ham instead of crickets and Nancy Drew has likely become a transgender vampire.

Walking the dog every day now, I don’t get to the book store very often anymore. But I left the dog behind and went today.

Didn’t find anything new of interest. It looks like the two main topics of new books are “We Wish We Still Had Trump to Kick Around Because Without Him We Don’t Have Anything Interesting to Say” and “I’m a Black Person and Here’s My Story About How Hard It Is Being Black.”

That’s about all that’s available these days.

As I asked back in 2013, why were the Boston Bomb Brothers in America anyway? My best guess is because their Uncle Ruslan, was, for four years, the son-in-law of CIA insider Graham E. Fuller, the former CIA station chief in Kabul. Uncle Ruslan is a D.C. lawyer involved in negotiating energy deals in Central Asia. If Chechnya ever breaks away from Russia and becomes an American client state, Uncle Ruslan would be a reasonable candidate for Minister of Energy in the new state.

This is not to say that the Boston Marathon Bombing was a false flag or a Washington operation, but that there remain a lot of interesting questions about who let in the Bomb Brothers and why.

I should like to point out that the younger of the two is still alive.

The following article (translated from the German) concerns the demographic crisis in France, which is well on its way to becoming a third-world country.

It’s all very well for the alarmists to issue their warnings now, but in my opinion it will make no practical difference. The point of no return was passed a long time ago, probably more than a decade ago. Nothing can prevent the dénouement now. The situation will inevitably end in a general collapse or civil war, or more likely a combination of the two. Assuming we don’t hit a nuclear winter before that.

The rest of the West is headed for the same destination. France and Sweden may be a couple of cars ahead of us, but we’re all on the same train.

In case you didn’t know that, Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu, prime minister of Israel, makes sure you’re apprised in the very first pages of Bibi: My Story, his compellingly told memoir of a lifetime in politics, business, diplomacy, and a lot of shooting wars.

In 1972 he led a group of special forces soldiers in the elite Sayeret Matkal unit of the Israeli military in a raid on a hijacked Sabena plane that had been diverted to an airport outside Tel Aviv, Israel. He recounts with evident pride how he tussled with his older brother Yoni, also in the elite unit, who wanted to pull rank on him and lead the raid himself. Bibi resisted, and prevailed.

Netanyahu’s elder brother, Yoni, was an American citizen and died leading the Entebbe raid–the only Israeli to do so.

When did a Biden ever expose himself to that sort of risk?

You have to give Roxanna Asgarian credit for laying all her cards on the table. The author of We Were Once a Family: A Story of Love, Death, and Child Removal in America tells readers at the outset that “as a journalist, I was most interested in looking at who has power and who does not.” In some ways, this places Asgarian in a long tradition of muckraking reporters looking out for the little guy. But then she adds that “journalists are often taught … to get out of the way of the story. This ethic has its merits, but it has costs as well.” Asgarian has weighed the options and decided that she is not a “passive observer of injustice.”

Tax day is Tuesday this year, so millions of Americans will spend this weekend poring over their records, filling out their returns and writing checks payable to the U.S. Treasury. Last year, the federal government took in a record $4.9 trillion in revenue, more than triple the $1.58 trillion the government collected just 25 years earlier (1997).

That’s an average increase of more than eight percent a year, far more than the rate of inflation (which has averaged 2.4% annually over the past 25 years) plus the increase in the U.S. population (roughly 0.7% annually). The total of all economic activity in the United States per year (GDP) is currently $26.1 trillion, which means the federal government now claims nearly one-fifth (19.6%) of all dollars for itself, a much higher rate than the long-term average of 16.5 percent.

Yet, it’s still not enough money to fulfill all the promises dreamed up by politicians looking for votes. The federal budget hasn’t been balanced since 2001; decades of deficit spending has led to a cumulative national debt of more than $31 trillion.

Yet instead of holding politicians accountable for their impossible promises and reckless stewardship of the nation’s finances, the media lobby for more punishing taxes to be imposed on the public. This has been true during both Democratic and Republican administrations, wartime and peacetime, and in boom times and busts.

The media don’t have the power to raise taxes, but they do have the ability to steer the national conversation toward the solutions they prefer. And instead of making over-spending an issue, the news media have relentlessly pushed for even more of the nation’s wealth to be handed over to the federal government to spend….

Washington Post.

Scouring the labels of what their children had eaten, both mothers were horrified to discover that sesame was now listed as an ingredient in the cheeseburger, the bread and other baked products that had previously been sesame-free. “I’d been unknowingly poisoning [Mia] for several weeks,” said McDermott, who lives in Philadelphia.
What happened? On Jan. 1, a law intended to safeguard the more than 1.5 million Americans with a sesame allergy — including the McDermott and Tibbs children (and, full disclosure, my son as well) — took effect. The law mandates, among other things, careful cleaning to prevent cross-contact between food products with and without sesame.
In a twist few would have expected, however, many food companies have chosen to add small amounts of sesame flour to products that were previously sesame-free, instead of conducting the careful cleaning required for foods without sesame.
The result? Foods that sesame-allergic kids and adults have eaten safely for years are now potentially life-threatening.

Proglodyte regulators always believe that people will just comply with their rules and not figure out a way around them. That old Law of Unintended Consequences bites people–other than the regulators, of course–on the butt again.

The Spectator.

In the pre-modern world positions in society were largely inherited. Some people were born with saddles on their backs and others booted and spurred to ride them — “The rich man in his castle / The poor man at his gate / God made them high or lowly / And ordered their estate,” in the words of the Victorian hymn. The meritocratic idea was the dynamite which blew up this view of the world and provided the materials for the modern era. But its reign is threatened as never before.

The 1960s and 1970s brought a wave of attacks on the meritocracy, starting in Britain with criticisms of the workings of the 11-plus exam and then broadening into denunciations of social hierarchy and social mobility. Egalitarians argued that meritocracy replaced a proper socialist idea — equality of results — with equality of opportunity. Radical activists argued in favor of collective rights (based on gender or skin colour) rather than equal opportunity for all based on ability.

Under the new hierarchy, the more oppressed groups that you belong to, the more moral virtue you possess.

Modern colleges are training grounds for political insurrectionists.

The pro-crime movement that swept America began in part with an article by Angela Davis, “Racialized Punishment and Prison Abolition.” Davis, a UCLA academic, started by quoting Michel Foucault, a French academic with the Collège de France.

Foucault’s ‘Discipline and Punish’, which Davis described as “arguably the most influential text in contemporary studies of the prison system” remains widely studied on college campuses along with Davis’ racial spin that long since entered politics and pop culture in the form of police defunding and other allied efforts to eliminate prisons, prosecutions and the justice system.

The two activist academics were not really interested in crime and the penal system as a field of research. They were bent on fomenting a civil war that would put the Left in power.

When University of Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines was accosted by a pro-trans mob at San Francisco State University, it revealed the irrational anger displayed by so many on the Left. We have seen it directed against conservatives all across the nation. So, what explains the anger and its justification of canceling all those who oppose them?

First and foremost, it is a characteristic of the Manichean worldview of the postmodern Left. The forces arrayed against them, which are essentially White Anglo-Saxon civilization along with its traditional values, are considered evil incarnate. They see them as the forces behind racism, misogyny, colonialism, exploitation, and the destruction of the environment. Who in his right mind would want to be “nice” to such thoroughly evil people? There is no small amount of righteous indignation behind their calls to “cancel” their opponents.

Second, since at least the 1960s, protest for the Left came to be seen as “shutting down” the opposition, taking over their buildings, preventing them from speaking. Much of this goes back to the conventional wisdom of the radical left expressed by Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, which took the Marxist approach of eliminating opponents rather than “debating” them. This is not a battle about ideas and influence, it is the pursuit of advantage and power. The Left has, for a long time, used violence and intimidation as a strategy for “taking over” and gaining control. The occupied zone in Seattle was not a bug, it was a feature of the anarchist, Antifa Left.

We regret to inform you the Ivy League nerds are at it again. This time it’s the Harvard nerds, who might not be quite as obnoxious as the Yale nerds, but are certainly among the worst.

This week they are outraged because a billionaire hedge fund guy—Ken Griffin (Class of ’89)—donated $300 million to his alma mater as a gesture of gratitude. That’s on top of the $150 million Griffin gave the university in 2014 to boost its financial aid program.

What a monster.

Well, yes, according to the outraged Harvard nerds. Why? Because Griffin has given money to Republican candidates and is a supporter of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
