-Lurid Crime Tales-
Corporate Media Silent on Arrest of Three Black Men Who Allegedly Beat a White Teen to Death
[Liberty Daily] Imagine if a black teen was beaten to death by three white men. There would be rioting in the streets. Joe Biden would have read from his teleprompter at least once between lunch and naptime. Corporate media would have reporters staking out every location with even the slightest connection to the crime.

But Ethan Liming, 17, was White and the three men who allegedly beat him to death are Black, so most in media are completely ignoring the story. The NY Post is currently one of the few who have written about it:

Three men have been arrested in connection to the killing of a teenager outside LeBron James-founded Ohio high school in early June, federal authorities announced Saturday.

Ethan Liming, 17, was found beaten to death on June 2 in the parking lot of I Promise School in Akron.

In a press release, the US Marshals Service revealed that the federal entity’s Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force and Akron Police on Saturday morning arrested Deshawn Stafford Jr., 20, Tyler Stafford, 19 and Donovon Jones, 21, at two different residential buildings in Akron.

Liming was brutally beaten to death at around 10:46 p.m. on June 2. Authorities have said the teen died from blunt force trauma to the head after he drove around with his friends and shot a water gun at people.

Liming was lying on the ground in the parking lot when police arrived, officials have said. They were unable to save him, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

The racial divide in America is driven almost entirely by the race-baiters, corporate media, and the Cultural Marxists among us. They amplify stories when a person of color is hurt or killed and they suppress stories in which the victims are White or Asian-American.

Yes it will, the evil white kid racially attacked people with water and was understandably killed by the 'victims'. You know there's only one kind of hate crime possible.

-Great Cultural Revolution
The world is being infected by America's race pathology
[Washington Examiner] Throughout my life, I have watched the world become more American. On every continent, people learn English, watch U.S. films, wear blue jeans, and aspire to live in pluralist, capitalist, and individualist societies. The dissemination of American values was one of the happiest facts of the 20th century. But I fear that the 21st century has brought an altogether darker cultural export.

The core American value used to be freedom. Freedom of speech meant no one could drag you to jail for saying the wrong thing. Freedom of assembly meant no one could close down a political party, labor union, or church congregation for sedition. People chose their jobs, their homes, their spouses. America was "conceived in liberty," and when countries escaped fascism in 1944, or communism in 1989, they aspired to be more like America.

That was then. Starting in the late 20th century and accelerating terrifyingly around 2015, the United States has switched from elevating individual rights to elevating group rights. It has, in other words, returned to the tribal thinking that its creation was intended to defy. The precepts that drove the campaign for civil rights — race doesn’t define you, everyone is equal before the law, character trumps skin color — are now deemed reactionary and offensive. Ethnic differences (and, to a lesser degree, differences of sex, sexuality, and so forth) are deemed supremely important. They define your place in an imagined hierarchy of privilege and determine what you can say, what college scores you need, and what positions you can occupy.

We can argue about the origins of this tendency. Did it come from the notions of guilt and justification that animated the earliest settlers? ("I think I can see the whole destiny of America contained in the first Puritan who landed on those shores," wrote Alexis de Tocqueville.) Did it arrive later, brought by socialist German academics? Or was it an overcorrection, a reaction to the ugliness of slavery and segregation?

Whatever its genesis, the American virus has leaked out and become a global pandemic. Across the West, especially in other white-majority, English-speaking countries, social questions are now seen through the distorting prism of America’s civil rights struggles.

In Britain, Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr. are (along with Nelson Mandela) among the most familiar historical figures, with hundreds of classrooms and junior schools named after them. Almost any British child can identify them, whereas perhaps one in a hundred could tell you anything about, say, John Locke.

Our vocabulary has become Americanized. People talk of "all-white juries" as though there are alternatives in chunks of rural Britain. Race relations are presented in Black Lives Matter's terms, although black people in Britain are just 3.3% of the population, less than half as numerous as, say, South Asians.

Even if we accepted the fundamentally illiberal premise of a universal black experience or a universal white experience, there is no real comparison between the American South and the rest of the Anglosphere.

Colin Kaepernick Transitions In Order To Make Carolina Panthers Cheer Squad
[Babylon Bee] CHARLOTTE, NC—Colin Kaepernick has made his way back into the NFL as a cheerleader for the Carolina Panthers. He will be the team's first African American Transgender Poly-Bi Cheerleader and will be joining the team on road games.

"I'm excited to be on the team!" said Kaepernick, weakened by a series of surgeries and hormone injections. "After I insulted the organization and called all the fans racist, I wasn't sure I'd be welcomed back, but I was finally able to contort my body into such a victimized form that they had no choice but to hire me."

"It's a dream come true!"

Panthers coach Matt Rhule was not part of the decision-making process that brought Kaepernick into the cheerleading fold, but he is reportedly enthusiastic about the former quarterback's role on the squad.

"I think he'll be a great distraction when we lose games," he said, sighing wistfully. "And believe me, we're going to lose some games."

ESPN commentator Jaina Winterwoman asked Kaepernick about the audition process. The interview, which will appear on a future episode of NFL Primetime, revealed that Kaepernick doesn't know how to dance.

"Girl, with an identity like this you don't have to do a thing," Kaepernick told the sports journalist. "I don't think anyone's going to be watching me for my dance moves."

The 2022 NFL season is scheduled to begin on September 8th. Ratings for Panthers games are expected to spike early on and then plummet, destroying the franchise.

-Land of the Free
Schlichter: Them: You Must Care! Us: No.
[Townhall] We refuse to care about stupid Democrat obsessions.

We don't care about climate change. It's a hoax designed to fill the hole in lib souls that used to be filled with faith, and for the ruling caste, it's a tool to steal our money and freedom.

We don't care about some alleged moral necessity to disarm normal Americans. When they whine, "The purpose of guns is to hurt people," we nod. Yes, they are. Our guns never have and never will hurt anyone who is not a criminal or an aspiring tyrant. But when those categories of bad people get uppity, yeah, we reserve our right to hurt them within the bounds of proper laws and morality.

We don't care about claims that America was stolen from other people. Like every other patch of inhabitable dirt on the planet, America was conquered from people who conquered it from someone else first. When we make a "land acknowledgment," it goes as follows: "Yeah, we took it, and now it's ours."

We don't care about their froth-mouthed accusation that America is some sort of racist cauldron of hatred. Many of us served in real racist cauldrons of hatred and have no time for the silly posturing of frivolous ninnies pretending to be white saviors by nattering on about non-existent "white supremacy" – which is a remarkably colorblind concept since anyone who rejects the ideology of the faculty lounge can practice it regardless of race or ethnicity, including people who are black and Latinx – hey, it's our word now, commies, and we're never letting you live it down.

#1 

The LSD's No Gun agenda except what is used to protect their Elite A$$'s.

How about a Simplified Punishment Law?

Anyone harming another must serve 5 to 20 years w/o parole depending on the level of harm. If a firearm is used in a Class A or B felony level crime, then LIFE without parole and Death if the victim dies.

Of course, we'll suddenly start hearing the law discriminates against those groups committing the most crime.

#2  This is why I like Schlichter - We're well aware that this is the greatest country on earth, the greatest country in human history, and we are not about to give it up to mollify a bunch of tantrum-throwing weenies trying to draw us into the psycho-drama created by their daddy issues.

The Real Reason the Left Won't Sign Effective Gun Safety Measures
[PJ] The answer to stopping gun crimes is simple: federalize all gun offenses. Local police would handle the arrests, and the feds would prosecute the cases (which would remove the Soros-funded, social justice warrior District Attorneys from the game).

If a person is convicted of using a gun for a crime, he or she would get a mandatory sentence of, say, five years.

If someone is caught with an illegally obtained gun, he or she would go to jail too. As prosecutors send gun-toting criminals to the hoosegow, crime would drop. Easy peasy.

But the left won’t allow that because that would mean lads like Camrin Williams would go to jail.

Liberal Professors Dershowitz, Turley Prove the Jan. 6 Committee Hearings Are a Sham
[Red State] Harvard’s Alan Dershowitz and George Washington University’s Jonathan Turley, both famous law professors and self-proclaimed liberals, slammed the Thursday night January 6 Committee 6 hearing for being "unethical" and for failing to prove the charges.

Referring to the video of Trump’s speech that the committee aired, Dershowitz told Newsmax’s "Spicer & Co." Friday: "They doctored the tape!" for leaving out a key line.

The lawyers were both liberal darlings for years, DC cocktail circuit fixtures who could be relied on to appear on CNN and give an air of authority while commenting on the day’s topics.

But that all that changed with the arrival of Trump. Dershowitz notably started appearing on conservative media, suddenly popping up on Fox News instead of MSNBC, eventually even testifying at Trump’s second impeachment trial in defense of Trump.

Turley also testified on Trump’s side for that impeachment effort, and more recently has been vocal about his disdain for the current hearings.

It’s quite the turnaround for this pair. Poor Dershowitz has been shunned by his "tolerant" Martha’s Vineyard "friends" for daring to question liberal orthodoxy. Turley, meanwhile, was inundated with threats for daring to defend Trump.

They’ve been among the few voices of sanity among liberals since the arrival of Trump, and a source of hope among conservatives that not everyone has lost their minds.
