While watching this interview, it occurred to me she may be a Chinese agent planted in the US to cause more confusion. I could not put my finger on it but something told me not everything is right about her. //

“I think its very likely she is part of a group trying to drag the US into a confrontation with China that she thinks will benefit Hong Kong.”
Just saying, I find this more plausible then what I read in the article. Hong Kong-ers, would see it this way.
The plot thickens... //
You may have heard of the name of Alicia Garza before. She’s one of the co-founders of Black Lives Matter. According to one of the other founders, Patrisse Cullors, she and Garza were “trained Marxists.”
Turns out that a new group that Garza is heading up has some very interesting connections, according to the Heritage Foundation.
Garza is heading up something called the Black Futures Lab which says it “works with Black people to transform our communities, building Black political power and changing the way that power operates – locally, statewide and nationally,” according to Fox News.
But on the donation page, the group says it is a “fiscally sponsored project of the Chinese Progressive Association.”
Opinion In the true spirit of never let a crisis go to waste, Peter Ambler, who serves as the executive director of Giffords: Courage to Fight Gun Violence, penned an article in Fast Company with a similar title, “CEOs: It’s time to take a stand on gun safety. It will help your business.“ Politician and gun control advocate Gabrielle Giffords and husband retired astronaut ....
The sacrosanct "career prosecutors" are liberals -- shocking.
'Challenger: The Final Flight' successfully tackles the anticipation, tragedy, and recovery involving the defining national event of a generation. //
“It was a totally clear sky…it was ‘Mars to CAVU,’ as we used to say, ‘clear and visibility unlimited.’ It was just a beautiful day,” recounts William Harwood, the longtime Cape Canaveral bureau chief for United Press International. “It was just very cold.”
On Jan. 28, 1986, after crews had finished scrapping off hundreds of giant icicles that had formed the night before, and following two days of scrubbed launches, the 25th flight of the United States Space Shuttle Program was finally cleared to go.
Onboard the shuttle Challenger were astronauts Ronald McNair, Ellison Onizuka, Judy Resnik, Francis Richard Scobee, Michael Smith, payload specialist Gregory Jarvis, and Christa McAuliffe — a social studies teacher hailing from Concord High School in New Hampshire and set to be the first civilian in space.
Unknown to the crew of the Challenger, it would be the last mission of the spacecraft. Just 73 seconds into the flight, at an altitude of approximately 46,000 feet, it was over.
They were all gone.
Comprising four episodes and a combined three hours, Netflix’s new documentary, “Challenger: The Final Flight,” successfully tackles the anticipation, tragedy, and recovery involving one of the defining events of national mourning between the assassination of J.F.K. and 9/11.
In a period where much of the output from Hollywood is either uninspired or, conversely, overburdened — and frequently ruined — by the desire to shock audiences by being overly brazen or bizarre, in many respects, what Abrams and his team have produced feels akin to their source material: the product of a bygone era.
True, the cinematography benefits from the latest digital technology, and the score feels more nuanced and authentic than something that would have been composed a generation earlier, but everything else about the production feels refreshingly familiar, albeit with a 2020 up-gloss. //
Ultimately, “Challenger: The Final Fight” is an incredibly pro-life documentary; not in the sense of being anti-abortion, but in the authentic and moving ways it pays tribute to the seven lives that were lost that cold January day 34 years ago. At the end of the miniseries, few viewers will be lamenting the $3.2 billion cost of the disaster — they’ll be left saddened, sore, and shaking their heads at the wholly unnecessary deaths of the brave Americans who boarded the final flight of the Space Shuttle Challenger.
After controlling for demographics, the study found, 'young adults who attended Protestant schools are about 70% more likely than their peers who attended public schools to be in an intact marriage.'
Inject this directly into my veins. //
What these woke institutions want is to have their cake and eat it, too. They want the media plaudits of proclaiming themselves to be admitted white supremacists while at the same time avoiding any of the consequences of that. Racism in a university’s practices is illegal. You can’t discriminate based on race, nationality, or religion. Devos has now painted Princeton into a corner whereby they will be forced to admit they aren’t actually systemically racist. If that’s the outcome, it’s a win, as it pushes back on the prevailing, left-wing narrative centering everything on nebulous, vague claims of systemic racism.
Honestly, this was an absolutely brilliant move. Watching these universities squirm under the weight of their own rhetoric is just amazing. Now they get to own their proclamations.

AG Barr has now publicly commented on the fact that three different US Attorneys are undertaking separate inquiries at his request, although the subject-matter boundaries of each investigation are not clear.
Little used statutes come into use when factual circumstances warrant their use. //
Suddenly feeling exposed, those promoters have gone underground.
And the rioting has stopped as quickly as it seemed to start. Even in Portland.
