monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

blacks suffer disproportionally from police brutality

and the national press recently came to the same conclusion.

These comments by Mr. Strzok remind us why we should be very cautious and skeptical of any reporting by the @nytimes regarding the Trump presidency.

The Science Is Very Clear: Schools Should Reopen This Fall

So much for “it’s all about the kids.” Or “science.” It’s really all about Karl Marx – and more money and more control.

Los Angeles is an admittedly extreme example, but similar things are happening around the country in other union-run school districts.

Unfortunately, most parents don’t fully understand the damage being done to their kids as a result of the teachers unions’ COVID-19 power-play. It’s a real pity.

As we noted, so-called Democrat “progressives,” which includes teachers unions bosses and members, like to say that “science” should drive public debate over COVID-19 and school openings.

Fair enough. So let’s look at the “science,” shall we?

Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control, told The Hill last week that keeping schools closed this fall “is a greater public health threat to the children than having the schools reopen.”

A number of studies and reports in the U.S. and around the world (here, here, here, here and here, for example) show that, in the words of one study, “children play a minor role in the spread of the novel coronavirus. The virus is mainly spread between adults and from adult family members to children.”

US President Donald Trump told governors in February that he doesn't like dealing with South Korean President Moon Jae-in and thinks the South Korean people are "terrible," Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said Thursday.

Hogan, a Republican, wrote in The Washington Post that Trump had harsh words for South Korea, the birthplace of the governor's wife, Yumi, during a private dinner sponsored by the Republican Governors Association.

"I don't remember him mentioning the virus," Hogan said, "but he talked about how much he respected President Xi Jinping of China; how much he liked playing golf with his buddy 'Shinzo,' Prime Minister Abe of Japan; how well he got along with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.

"Then, the jarring part," he continued. "Trump said he really didn't like dealing with President Moon from South Korea. The South Koreans were 'terrible people,' he said, and he didn't know why the United States had been protecting them all these years. 'They don't pay us,' Trump complained."

Trump was referring to the US stationing of 28,500 American troops in South Korea to deter North Korean aggression, and revisiting his longtime complaint that Seoul doesn't pay enough for the force presence.

"Yumi was sitting there as the president hurled insults at her birthplace," Hogan wrote. "I could tell she was hurt and upset. I know she wanted to walk out. But she sat there politely and silently."

In his article, titled "Fighting alone," the governor accused Trump of refusing to help states with coronavirus testing and bungling the federal response to the pandemic.

He said he was left to seek help elsewhere, and that's what prompted him to solicit Yumi's assistance in making a phone call to the South Korean ambassador to the US, Lee Soo-hyuck, on March 28.

During that call, Yumi asked for South Korea's help in securing test kits. And on April 18, a Korean Air flight landed at Baltimore-Washington International Marshall Airport for the first time, carrying aboard 500,000 test kits from South Korea.

"I thought we might get a congratulatory word from the president," Hogan recalled. "Trump always had a taste for bold gestures -- but, apparently, only for bold gestures he could claim."

Trump instead criticized Hogan during a White House briefing the following Monday, saying the governor didn't need to ask South Korea for help and could have saved a lot of money by calling Vice President Mike Pence.

Minneapolis Declares Racism a Public Health Emergency

“How do we begin to address and end racism?” Jenkins asked. “I think the first step in that process is through naming that as an issue.”

The resolution, sponsored by Jenkins and Council Member Phillipe Cunningham, listed multiple ways the city would work to reduce the impact of racism on its residents.

We are literally in the middle of a global pandemic, but sure, let’s make racism our top health emergency

"Then, the jarring part," he continued. "Trump said he really didn't like dealing with President Moon from South Korea. The South Koreans were 'terrible people,' he said, and he didn't know why the United States had been protecting them all these years. 'They don't pay us,' Trump complained."

According to a Washington Post analysis, black Americans are disproportionately affected by police violence across the United States.

they both have a far better record for veracity
