• China warns U.S. taking world to brink of ‘new Cold War’ over coronavirus
  

  The United States is pushing China to the brink of a “new Cold War,” China’s foreign minister said as officials in the world’s two largest economies continue trading barbs over each other’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic.

  “This dangerous attempt to turn back the wheel of history will undo the fruits of decadeslong China-U.S. cooperation, dampen American’s own development prospects, and put world stability and prosperity in jeopardy,” Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Sunday in a video news conference on the sidelines of the annual session of China’s National People’s Congress.

  Wait… the people who fought us in Korea and Vietnam think that now our relationship is bad? Let us restyle that: the COVID-19 mess showed us that the West was a disorganized mess with a total lack of internal trust, but China came across as both deceptive and unwilling to help, as we struggled to find what ended up being inferior safety products at the same time China asserted its own need. It showed us that we need to make our own stuff, and recognize that China will in a pinch act for its own interests instead of ours, despite three decades of globalist theory claiming otherwise. Trump, Johnson, and other leaders are now finding ways to consciously decouple from China as it continues spying, provoking, and otherwise attempting to hassle us in its attempt to replace us as a superpower. More comedy:

• Chinese intrusions at 3 places in Ladakh, Army chief takes stock
  

  Sources said Chinese soldiers have crossed the LAC at three places — at Hot Springs and in two locations 15-20 km to the north-west, Patrolling Point 14 (PP-14) and PP-15.

  At each of these places, around 800-1000 Chinese soldiers have crossed over to the Indian side of the LAC, sources said, at distances of around 2-3 km. Tents have been pitched by the Chinese soldiers in the area, along with a fleet of heavy vehicles and monitoring equipment. Chinese helicopter movement close to the LAC has also been monitored by the Indian side.

  Sources said Indian soldiers in equal numbers have been deployed in the area, separated by a distance of 300-500 metres from the Chinese – technically, the two sides are not in a faceoff.

  China is sending a clear threat to the West: do what we want, or we plunge the world into another pointless war. This tells us that the Chinese economy is worse off than we think, that power in China is not stable, and that cutting off our imports from them will cause them to implode. Then again, a billion people not living under Communism would be a heck of an accomplishment for the first Trump term.

• Sofia District Mayor Wants Monument To ‘Soviet Liberators’ Removed
  

  The monument in question, located in Cherni Vrah Park, includes a bronze sculpture depicting two Soviet soldiers, an inscription reading “Glory to the Soviet liberators,” as well as marble reliefs also representing Soviet soldiers.

  Pavlov has said that it should be relocated to a museum. In case remains of Soviet soldiers are found under the monument, he said, they should be “buried according to humanitarian law” in one of Sofia’s cemeteries.

  In his letter, Ambassador Makarov said that excavating the remains “could be interpreted as an attempt to rehabilitate Nazism.”

  There you have the word of the Communists: if you do not approve of them, you are a Nazi. Q.E.D.

• Over 100 Mosques Sign Letter Demanding U.K. Watchdog Investigate Conservative Party for Islamophobia
  

  A dossier of more than 300 allegations of Islamophobia by Tory party members was submitted to the equality watchdog in March by the Muslim Council of Britain, including some made against Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

  Under the weird rules of multiculturalism, trying to keep your people from being crowded out and replaced is somehow hatred. This just shows yet again that diversity will never work.

• Top Indian medical faculty sacked by Saudi University for Islamophobic social media posts

  Man notices, says bad things about Islam. This creates instability, so he is fired. This just creates a grievance for the other side.

• Latino workers face discrimination over spread of coronavirus in meat plants
  

  More than 10,000 meatpacking workers, many of them Latino, have contracted coronavirus in the US, according to the United Food and Commercial Workers union, and dozens have died.

  Why so many? It is the ethnic enclaves where they live in high population densities, some attraction the virus has for Hispanics, or the airborne blood in meat packing plants? Democracy doesn’t know! We can say however that it seems like certain Hispanic and Asian neighborhoods get hit harder than anywhere else. Let us hope for a swift end to diversity. We can pack our own meat.

• Racist notes targeted people of color in San Leandro, woman arrested
  

  The hand-written missives “contained various insensitive messages towards (non-white people)” and “suggested that people not native to America leave the country immediately,” the police department said in a news release. “The messages were directed towards women and children as well.”

  We are all tired of diversity and globalism. I suggest just submitting American Nativist propaganda that adds that we will have to gently repatriate the Other with reparations, and that we will need to exile all Leftists to Venezuela. That would be a grand start in Restoring Western Civilization!

• Kevin MacDonald: “I’m not optimistic about the future of the West”
  

  I am not optimistic on the future of the West. We are importing non-White majorities that will have no interest in maintaining our culture, our institutions, or our traditional freedoms. Unless something drastic changes, the West as we know it will be destroyed.

  The real question is: do we want pre-COVID-19 America back? Or should we use this as a chance to break free from globalism, immigration, diversity, affirmative action, and civil rights entirely? A good brush with death makes us re-evaluate what matters.

• Consortium launched amid coronavirus to make Aussies eat their fruit and vegetables

• US Navy tests laser weapon it says can destroy aircraft mid-flight
  

  The US Navy has been developing directed-energy weapons — which convert chemical or electrical energy to radiated energy focused onto a specific target — since the 1960s.

  If this test went public, it means this is the laser they developed twenty years ago. Time to go watch Real Genius again.

• Oxfam: 8 richest billionaires have as much wealth as the world’s poorest half

  The Leftists issue their dog-whistle for overthrowing the rich and implementing socialism. No one really cares, because we know that our consumer markets have produced these ultra-wealthy by distributing money too evenly, which means that there are huge audiences who buy all of the same stuff and therefore, create super-monopolies like these companies. Remove entitlements and high taxes, and this will gradually reverse. However, the proles will never figure that one out, and will instead demand more free stuff.

• Biden regrets saying black voters considering Trump ‘ain’t black’
  

  Throughout the 18-minute interview, Mr Biden, 77, stressed his longstanding ties to the black community, noting his overwhelming win this year in South Carolina’s presidential primary, a state where the Democratic electorate is more than 60% African American.

  Charlamagne urged Mr Biden to return for another interview, saying he had more questions.

  “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black,” Mr Biden responded.

  It is all just so cringeworthy that one must turn away and go do something pleasant, like walk in the garden or punch wasp nests with bare hands covered in vinegar. Where did they find this clown?

• The Nigerian Fraudsters Ripping Off the Unemployment System
  

  On Thursday, the Secret Service issued an alert about a massive operation to file fraudulent unemployment claims in states around the country, like Washington and Massachusetts. Officials attributed the activity to Nigerian scammers and said millions of dollars had already been stolen.

  Now imagine how much they are doing with regular welfare, and how little the people working in those offices care. Go ahead, give out more of the free money from dumb middle class taxpayers. Drain them dry so we can take over. Last welfare office I saw was staffed completely by large Black ladies, tiny Oriental ladies, and meaty lesbians.

• Charges against Breonna Taylor’s boyfriend dropped for now
  

  The audio didn’t seem to contradict the claim that police knocked multiple times without identifying themselves.

  The injured officer, Jon Mattingly, described the beginning of the operation: “Banged on the door. No response. Banged on it again. No response. At that point, we started announcing ourselves, ‘Police please come to the door. Police, we have a search warrant.'”

  Walker said that he was scared and believed an ex-boyfriend who was unwelcome at the home had returned and that whoever was at the door gave “no response.” He said he had called 911, fired one shot as the door opened and aimed for the ground.

  This one is going to be decided by whether or not these guys howled out “police!” loud enough. If not, they just killed someone for no good reason. If they did, we are looking at yet another case of racial animus that will attempt to explode into riots, protest, and the usual drama. When do we just end diversity because it is not fair to anyone?

• US Copyright Office proposes stripping YouTube of some of its DMCA safe harbor protections
  

  For example, the algorithm used by YouTube to identify ‘related’ clips has the ultimate effect of promoting specific content to a given user. By mechanizing a function that in the early days of the internet would have been done by the OSP’s employees (much as early search engines were created by hand, rather than the use of web crawlers), YouTube’s software—and similar content curating and promoting software on other platforms—may go beyond what Congress intended when it sought to protect an OSP from liability for “storage at the direction of a user of [potentially infringing] material.”

  Lawmakers are realizing that granting indemnity just caused these companies to indulge in an orgy of censorship while ignoring actual violations, since those are harder to catch without an army of angry Leftists to report them. It might make sense to remove all protections from firms that use any method of censoring content other than DMCA requests and law enforcement flags, since protecting them from the consequences of their censorship has made these platforms unusable.

• Judge Dismisses One America News Network Defamation Suit Against Rachel Maddow, MSNBC
  

  The lawsuit, filed last fall in U.S. District Court in San Diego, centered on one of Maddow’s segments from July 22 of last year. Maddow opened her show by referencing a Daily Beast story and telling her audience that it reported that OANN “has a full-time on-air reporter who covers U.S. politics, who is also simultaneously on the payroll of the Kremlin.”

  One America took particular issue when Maddow, in her segment, also said “the most obsequiously pro-Trump right wing news outlet in America really literally is paid Russian propaganda.”

  In their lawsuit, One America said that “Rouz has never been a staff employee of Sputnik News. He worked as a freelancer for Sputnik News and his work there had no relation to his work for OAN. Rouz submitted articles to Sputnik on his own and would receive approximately $40 if the articles were accepted.”

  This suit should have gone through. The point of defamation is to punish blatant lies that could have easily been discovered to be untrue, if the journalist was not reckless and crafting propaganda like Rachel Maddow.

• Alaskan school board lifts ban on Gatsby and Catch-22 after protests
  

  The Matanuska-Susitna borough school board in Palmer, Alaska had voted in April to pull five titles from its curriculum for high-school English: F Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, Maya Angelou’s I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, Joseph Heller’s Catch-22, Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man, and short-story collection The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien. Issues with Angelou’s acclaimed memoir included its “sexually explicit material, such as the sexual abuse the author suffered as a child, and its ‘anti-white’ messaging”, while Catch-22 was criticised, among other things, for letting characters “speak with typical ‘military men’ misogyny and racist attitudes of the time”.

  They want to end the controversy created by diversity, which means that we will burn our classics (The Great Gatsby, although Invisible Man is great too) along with the pointless derivative drivel like Maya Angelou. The only way out is to end diversity. Boats!

• YouTube accused of ‘censorship’ for removing video claiming Covid-19 could ‘burn out’ before vaccine

  Anything but the party line gets yanked. That means that they take down a few crazy videos and then go hog wild removing any non-Leftist content. We are going to have to exile these people to Venezuela. Again, I say: Boats!

• South Philly judge of elections admits he took bribes to stuff the ballot box for Democratic candidates
  

  Domenick J. DeMuro, 73, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to deprive Philadelphia voters of their civil rights by fraudulently stuffing the ballot boxes for the judicial candidates and for other candidates seeking office in the 2014 and 2016 primary elections. And he admitted violating the Travel Act, which forbids the use of a cell phone to promote illegal activity, McSwain’s office said.

  The Left insists that there is no significant voter fraud; check these databases to see how wrong they are:

  • Heritage.org
  • True the Vote
  • Accuracy in Media
  • White House dossier

  This is why the Left wants to repeal the electoral college: the dead will rise and vote early and vote often.

  Police say 38-year-old Elizabeth Shirey was charged with assault and battery after grabbing Skhylur Davis’ arm as she walked back to her grandmother’s house in Aiken with her mail.

  Police say Shirey let the girl go after seeing the address on the mail and offered her cookies.

  Diversity is so over.

• University of Minnesota law professor falsely accused of rape wins $1.2 million defamation judgment
  

  Wright claimed Parisi raped her so viciously that it broke three of her teeth and she needed to have colon surgery to repair the damage.

  But the lead investigator never got the dental or medical records until after Parisi was charged. When they were obtained, they showed that in February 2015 the accuser went to a doctor for a migraine, but reported nothing about a rape or any physical injuries.

  In a report police received after Parisi was charged, medical records showed that Wright went to a colon specialist nearly two years after the alleged rape.
