    Seriously, half of Europe is an intelligence wilderness as socialist governments culled Jews and anyone with spectacles.

    East of the Maginot line, can anyone really pick a stand out thinker post 45?

    If you are suggesting black people being responsible for 52% of murders in the US from a population share of 13%.. you my friend are a racist. Structural racism. Endemic.

    Seattle protest: Police and anti-racism demonstrators clash at march - BBC News

    In Austin, Texas one man was killed during a Black Lives Matter march.

    Police said initial reports suggested the victim might have been carrying a rifle and approached a vehicle, from where a person shot and killed him. The suspect has been arrested and is co-operating with officers.

    A car drove through a crowd in Aurora, Colorado but there were no reports of injuries. At the same march, a person was injured after a protester "decided to fire off a weapon", police said. The person is reportedly in a stable condition in hospital.

    Carrying semi-automatic rifles and shotguns, the group walked in formation to a fenced off intersection where they were separated by police from a smaller crowd of armed counter-protesters. There were no reports of incidents.

    Earlier, three members of the black militia were taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries after a weapon was accidentally discharged. Police said the incident was being investigated.
    What a lovely place the USA is. Not.

    ‘I thought it was a hoax’: Patient dies after Texas Covid party

    A 30-year-old patient died after attending a “Covid party”, believing the virus to be a hoax, a Texas medical official has said.


    “Just before the patient died, they looked at their nurse and said ‘I think I made a mistake, I thought this was a hoax, but it’s not,’” said Dr Jane Appleby, the chief medical officer at Methodist hospital in San Antonio.


    Dr Appleby said: “I don’t want to be an alarmist, and we’re just trying to share some real-world examples to help our community realise that this virus is very serious and can spread easily.”


    A “Covid party” is a gathering held by somebody diagnosed with coronavirus to see if the virus is real and to see if anyone gets infected, she explained.

    I don't know this can be a Darwin contender. It is their ancestors they are putting at risk but unlike Terminator, they are killing their parents/grandparents after they've already been born.

    “When will all of the “reporters” who have received Noble [sic] Prizes for their work on Russia, Russia, Russia, only to have been proven totally wrong (and, in fact, it was the other side who committed the crimes), be turning back their cherished “Nobles” so that they can be given ....to the REAL REPORTERS & JOURNALISTS who got it right. I can give the Committee a very comprehensive list. When will the Noble Committee DEMAND the Prizes back, especially since they were gotten under fraud,”

    On Friday Trump claimed he was being “sarcastic” in his remarks but there is no evidence to back up that claim and he appeared entirely serious as he made them.
