It’s a secret: California keeps key virus data from public

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has from the start said his coronavirus policy decisions would be driven by data shared with the public to provide maximum transparency.

But with the state starting to emerge from its worst surge, his administration won’t disclose key information that will help determine when his latest stay-at-home order is lifted.

State health officials said they rely on a very complex set of measurements that would confuse and potentially mislead the public if they were made public.

Why Burn Books When You Can Ban Them?

Hundreds of publishing officials, professors, and academics have signed a petition to blacklist Trump administration alumni from receiving book deals. It is the latest step in a rapidly expanding anti-free speech movement in the United States. In the wake of the Capitol riot, Democratic members and others are calling for a crackdown on free speech and punitive actions for those viewed as complicit with Trump. What is striking is how censorship, blacklists, and speech controls are being repackaged as righteous and virtuous. Indeed, the failure to sign such anti-free speech screeds is a precarious choice for many. It is as easy as calling for tolerance through intolerance. After all, why burn books if you can just effectively ban them?

States Can Reject Critical Race Theory

States Can Reject Critical Race Theory

President Biden has reinstituted the pernicious philosophy at the federal level, but governors and local legislators can still fight it off.

On his first day in office, President Joe Biden rescinded the Trump administration’s executive order prohibiting critical race theory (CRT) training for federal agencies and federal contractors. This is a sad reversal for Americans committed to colorblindness in public life. But while the president’s order is binding at the federal level, state legislators still have a say in the matter. They should not shrink from resisting this pernicious philosophy.

This picture of Lena Dunham has no relation to the article

A new form of African swine fever has been identified in Chinese pig farms. According to Reuters, industry insiders say that the disease was most likely caused by illegal vaccines, and serves as a fresh blow to the nation where the COVID-19 coronavirus was first identified.

Biden’s executive order unlevels the playing field for girls

Mere hours after stressing the need for “unity,” President Biden sparked a new civil war with an executive order letting transgender women compete in women’s sports.

On social media, #BidenErasedWomen and #TERFs (an acronym for “trans-exclusionary radical feminist”) trended following the action. That’s understandable: It’s one thing, after all, to ban discrimination; it’s another to tell schools and colleges that trans women athletes — biologically born boys who now identify as female — must be allowed to compete with biological women and girls, despite their physical advantages.

The Palestinian Plan to Dupe the Biden Administration

One week after he entered the 17th year of his four-year term in office, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas finally announced new parliamentary and presidential elections, scheduled to take place in May and July 2021.

His announcement was carefully timed to coincide with the inauguration week of President Joe Biden and in response to immense pressure from the European Union.

Abbas’s announcement, which many Palestinians take as seriously as they would take the alleged sighting of a UFO, is part of an attempt to curry favor with the Biden administration and the EU.

France: Disney Blocks Peter Pan, Lady and The Tramp, Dumbo and The Aristocats From Children’s Accounts On Streaming Service

Note Google Translate – Peter Pan, Lady and the Tramp, The Aristocats, Dumbo: great classics available on Disney + were already preceded by warning messages. This time, the platform blocks them for child accounts.

While the Disney + platform had already chosen to broadcast warnings relating to content presenting a deteriorated image of diversity since 2020 in France and 2019 in the United States, the American entertainment giant is moving up a gear by blocking this content on accounts for children. They are only available to adult accounts now.

BFMTV journalist Raphaël Grably explains on Twitter: “On Disney + France, Peter Pan, Beauty and the Tramp or The Aristocats are now inaccessible from“ child ”profiles because of clichés deemed racist. A warning message is displayed on launch from an “adult” profile.
