The 'white supremacy' canard explodes on the left

 Jennifer Oliver O'Connell:

The Kyle Rittenhouse trial was clearly not about race, and squarely about self-defense and our rights as citizens. Tragically, this did not stop the Left, through their mouthpieces in the legacy media, from trying to insert every racist trope, canard, and false flag into their narrative and commentary as the trial played out. Now that the trial is over, and Rittenhouse has been found Not Guilty on all counts, they are doing their utmost to keep the race train going so that their narrative is not totally destroyed.

From the Washington Examiner:

“The Center for Diversity and Inclusiveness is creating space for our community to process the ‘not guilty’ on all accounts verdict in the Kenosha, Wisconsin case where Kyle Rittenhouse, an Illinois native, shot and killed two people protesting the wrongful death of Jacob Blake in 2020,” the original email read.

My eyes are stuck at the back of my head. These administrators obviously poured milk on stupid the morning they crafted this nonsense. Last we checked, Jacob Blake is alive and well, albeit partially paralyzed after being shot seven times by a police officer, whom Blake attacked with a knife. No death involved, nor did anything wrongful happen. The Kenosha County District Attorney Mike Graveley declined to press charges against the officer involved in Blake’s shooting.

A little less than a week ago, The New York Times wrote a puff profile on Jacob Blake. It would have been a bit hard to do that if he were dead, no?

...

The Blake shooting had nothing to do with race, and everything to do with police responding to a person with a criminal history of sexual assault who wielded a deadly weapon. This fish wrap of record simply glosses over these facts because the charge was “eventually dropped.” So were certain charges against the men who attacked Kyle Rittenhouse. More on this further down.

So, the racism under every rock crowd needed to create a parallel with the violence and unrest in Kenosha caused by the Blake shooting, and attach it to the Rittenhouse trial. Kyle’s only role in the Kenosha violence was defending himself against men who, had the legacy media bothered to tell the story, would be considered dregs of society. Instead, everyone from Joy Reid, to BLM, to elected officials like the Mayor-elect of New York Eric Adams, have decided it’s a clear case of a systemically racist justice system at work.

...

There seems to be very little intelligent life on the left.  The left seems tied to a false narrative and refuses to let it go when the facts and the science demonstrates that their narrative is just wrong.  The media and leftist politicians live in an alternate universe unthethered from reality.  

Blake got shot because he acted like an idiot resisting arrest. That idiocy was followed by the idiocy of BLM and Antifa rioting in support of the idiocy.  

Looting and arson in support of idiocy is an absurd reaction.  And assaulting Kyle Rittenhouse was also not a smart move.  We should all be fed up with the left's false assertions of "white supremacy" in a situation that had nothing to do with race.  Those who claim "white supremacy" in situations like this are not credible.  It is becoming another form of racism.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
