News With a Little Help From My Friends

By Rich Kozlovich 

I belong to, and correspond with, an eclectic e-mail group that sends out a lot of stuff to the group daily. There are also others who send me a lot of stuff.  I refer to them as correspondents, but view them all as friends, even though some I've never met.  We exchange views on a host of issues facing the world today, and I decided to share the things they're finding interesting.  And while keeping faith with their anonymity, I will share some of the comments back and forth.   The cartoon is my pick since I think it exemplifies the left and their myrmidons in the media.  Enjoy!

Extremists Who Biden Removed From Official Terrorist List Launch Attacks Against Saudi Arabia: Report - By Ryan Saavedra Mar 19, 2022 - A group of Iranian-backed extremists that Democrat President Joe Biden removed from the official Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) list reportedly launched attacks against Saudi Arabia over the weekend. “The Saudi-led coalition said early on Sunday that the Iran-aligned Houthi group launched four attacks on the kingdom that damaged civilian cars and homes but caused no casualties,” Reuters reported. “Saudi state news agency (SPA) said one attack targeted a water desalination plant in the city of Al-Shaqeeq, an Aramco facility in Jizan, a power station in the southern Dhahran al Janub city, and a gas facility in Khamis Mushait.”  ..............

Will the New York Times Apologize to Sen. Cotton? - Every recovery program starts with the mantra that the first step in dealing with a problem is to admit that you have a problem. That cathartic moment seems to have escaped the editors of the New York Times in denouncing a cancel culture that they helped spread in the media. Many of us were both bemused and bothered by the editorial in the New York Times opposing cancel culture. The Times has not been some dedicated antagonist of this culture but rather one of its most unabashed ambassadors.  Indeed, one of the most outrageous acts of cancellation by the media was the treatment of Sen. Tom Cotton over his 2020 Times editorial.......

Comment: Excellent piece.  Jonathan Turley is becoming more bold in pointing out the  dangerous hypocrisy on the "left".

Response From Intel Letter Signers Tells You Everything You Need to Know -By Nick Arama Mar 19, 2022ch 19, 2022 - I previously wrote about the intel letter that 51 former, U.S. intelligence officials signed trying to cast doubt on Hunter Biden’s laptop. In the letter, the officials said they believed it was Russian disinformation. This was despite also admitting they had no evidence to support the claim, and they had no idea whether it was real or not. That should have told any sentient being with one brain cell how much the letter was worth – that they were willing to put out such a letter based on nothing......
 
Media lied about collusion and the laptop. Why believe them on Ukraine? - The images on TV from Ukraine are terrible.  You would have to have a heart of stone not to be moved by the media images. And you would have to have a head of rock to fall for it again.  The media lied about Russian Collusion. The only collusion was between Hillary and Obama's operatives and the Kremlin, where people seek Putin's permission before they break wind.......


 


CommentHe does pose some interesting questions.Very thoughtful 4 minute read,...
 
.....in an age of media manipulation, what you don't see matters more than what you do see."  "Operation Overlord -- D Day -- lasted nearly 3 months. It took 17 months for the media to own up to the laptop.  The media still won't admit Russian Collusion was a lie.  I don't know much, but I do know the media is pushing for a war in Ukraine.  Maybe the cable outlets believe this will goose their post-Trump collapse in the ratings.  I just may have a heart of stone, but it beats having a head of rock."
 
Loved these lines: Fool me once, shame on you.  Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me thrice, and dear Lord, I am a liberal.

The Final Nail in the Coffin of Mask Hysteria Emerges -  By Bonchie | Mar 19, 2022 - I’ll admit, I’ve enjoyed not writing about COVID-19 lately. After almost two years of touching on the subject on a daily basis, it’s been several weeks since I’ve penned a piece dealing with the coronavirus pandemic. That’s obviously because the pandemic is over for all intents and purposes. Vaccines are available for those who want them and the lion’s share of Americans now have immunity via prior infection as well........

Overwhelmed prosecutors quitting "in tears" amid staffing crisis, NYC district attorneys say

Another cop-killer fĂȘted and fawned over - By Stu Tarlowe  March 19, 2022 - In the Throgs Neck section of the Bronx, there once was a Public Intermediate School that, sadly, was shut down because of poor performance.  The school was officially called I.S. 192, but it was also known as the Piagentini-Jones School.  That name was in honor of two NYPD patrolmen who were gunned down in May 1971.  Waverly Jones was 33; his partner, Joseph Piagentini, was 28.  Each had been on the job for five years.  They were on foot patrol in a Harlem public housing project when, at about 10 P.M., three assailants ambushed them.  They shot Jones in the back of the head, killing him instantly.  He left behind a wife and three children.  They shot Piagentini 13 times.  He died on the way to the hospital, leaving behind a wife and two children..........

A Kidnapping Case So Bizarre Police Thought It Was Hoax - In March 2015 - Aaron Quinn and Denise Huskins were at home when a man broke in, drugged the couple and blindfolded them, before kidnapping Huskins. When Quinn went to the police for help, he was accused of making the story up and being responsible for Huskins’ disappearance, possibly her murder.  Years later, police would apologize for assuming Quinn and Huskins had made the story up and arrested Matthew Muller for the crime. On Friday, Muller was sentenced to 31 years in state prison for the crime. .........

He Said Race Relations Have Improved Since The 1930s. Someone Reported Him To The School Bias Team. - By Ashe Schow - A professor at the State University of New York (SUNY)-Cortland was reported after he told his class that race and gender relations had improved since the 1930s.The professor, whose name has not been reported, had apparently began his first class of the semester by saying he was not “one of those America-is-evil academics,” according to a student who filed a complaint against the professor afterward...... 

Comment - What an utterly dismal state of affairs when a student can not only be so incredibly ignorant, but actually report a professor for an "offense" over something like this.  And it sounds like there are tons of reports from students, either along these lines, or for other utterly trivial absurdities.  And the insane administrators at the college actually thinks this sort of thing makes for a "diverse and inclusive community"!!!!

Lower Cholesterol and Prevent Heart Disease Without Drugs - By Tyler Ardizzone, March 14, 2022 - According to the CDC, heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States. On the surface it sounds dreadful, but this fact becomes good news when we realize that heart disease is preventable and, in some cases, reversible. Heart Disease is Preventable and Can Be Reversible Although there are many genetic factors that determine your risk of heart disease, it is still preventable and can be reversible. This is because the most common cause of heart disease, atherosclerosis, is caused by factors that are under our control........

Scoop: White House considered sending Americans gas cards - Sophia CaiThe White House considered giving Americans gas cards to help offset high prices, but faced strong opposition from congressional committees, which questioned the plan's viability and effectiveness.Why it matters: The Biden administration is feeling political pressure from high energy costs, made worse by Western sanctions against Russia, and Democrats desperately want to offer some kind of policy response.What we're watching: The White House this week considered having the IRS send gas cards to Americans — a short-lived idea that some key House Democrats vehemently opposed.........

Comment - Things are progressing just according to The Plan. You can fix ignorant with education. You can fix crazy with psychotherapy and psychotropic drugs.  But you "cain't" fix STUPID!

Well, that's it for today, I'm going back to my Russo/Ukrainian War analysis working on Part Two, b.
