QUESTIONABLE SOURCE, EXTREME RIGHT BIAS, LOW, News and Opinion BlogHow the Left Creates Fake Studies to Fabricate Right-Wing Terrorism
After weeks of violence, Democrats have some public relations needs to redirect attention away from the awfulness of leftism. Insert the latest report from the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), which concludes that the greatest domestic threat comes not from leftists or Muslims, but from right-wing terrorists! The CSIS study's findings are not new. The New America Foundation (NAF) and the Center of Investigative Reporting (CIR) have published similar studies with the same conclusions. Each study is fake, but the most recent CSIS study is the most pathetic of them all — partly because the CSIS doesn't provide a list of incidents to fact-check. Just trust them. There's an art to creating this type of propaganda, which provides the Democrat narrative a halo of credibility. A tremendous volume of subtle manipulation is concocted within studies on right-wing terrorism, and each demonstrates variations of the same basic formula.

City in China’s Inner Mongolia warns after suspected bubonic plague case
Authorities in a city in the Chinese region of Inner Mongolia issued a warning on Sunday, one day after a hospital reported a case of suspected bubonic plague. The alert forbids the hunting and eating of animals that could carry plague and asks the public to report any suspected cases of plague or fever with no clear causes, and to report any sick or dead marmots. Plague cases are not uncommon in China, but outbreaks have become increasingly rare. From 2009 to 2018, China reported 26 cases and 11 deaths.

Emperor Constantine's statue and the culture war that wasn't
Sprawled on a throne, sword in hand, the statue of Constantine the Great is a familiar fixture outside York Minster. The city claims a connection to the first Roman emperor to establish the Christian faith across Europe. It was in York that Constantine is believed to have succeeded his father to rule the Roman Empire in 306AD. And it was here last week that reports that his life-size bronze could be torn down were considered a threat to civilisation itself. York Minster had received complaints that the emperor supported slavery, claimed the Daily Telegraph, and that Black Lives Matter protests had led to the statue being put under review. The story was followed up by the Daily Mail and the news was shared thousands of times online accompanied by ridicule and fury. “Stop capitulating to these ridiculous demands”, tweeted comedy writer Andrew Doyle. “Pathetic”, wrote Welsh assembly member Neil Hamilton. If a classical Roman statue, albeit one erected in 1998, could become an alleged target for destruction, what would come next? Except one awkward fact persisted: it turns out the story simply wasn’t true. There had been no such complaints to York Minster. The statue is not under review. The Black Lives Matter movement had no active part to play in a debate that appears to have been speculatively confected.

How the Great Awokening Undermines E Pluribus Unum
In part because they view this panic as a way of weakening President Trump, many major American institutions have cheered on the Great Awokening. But the overarching logic of a revolutionary panic ends up undermining institutions in the longer term. Institutions that crumple before mass intimidation soon look hollow and weak. Constant fractiousness increases the yearning for a strongman to settle the chaos. A regime that heaps scorn on its foundations is one that will have a hard time commanding respect either at home or abroad. And if the proponents of a revolutionary panic seize the commanding heights, the impulse toward constant purification can incite purges that destroy these institutions from within. One need only glance at the American media landscape to see organizations that have at once grown more woke and more internally contentious.

Level Three Alert Issued in China's Inner Mongolia as Herder Contracts Bubonic Plague - Local Media
The disease, which is spread mostly by rodents and infected fleas, is highly infectious and often fatal. A 14th century plague pandemic swept through Asia, Europe and Africa, killing an estimated 50 million people.
239 experts with one big claim: The coronavirus is airborne
The coronavirus is finding new victims worldwide, in bars and restaurants, offices, markets and casinos, giving rise to frightening clusters of infection that increasingly confirm what many scientists have been saying for months: The virus lingers in the air indoors, infecting those nearby.
Joe Biden Bows to the Teachers Unions
Here’s a place Joe Biden differs from his old boss: President Obama had fraught relations with the teachers unions, including the National Education Association, which in 2014 called (unsuccessfully) for the resignation of Education Secretary Arne Duncan. Mr. Biden, seeking the NEA’s endorsement at a virtual assembly on Friday, pledged his fealty to the union, noting that his wife, Jill, is a member. “When we win this election, we’re going to get the support you need and the respect you deserve,” Mr. Biden said. “You don’t just have a partner in the White House, you’ll have an NEA member in the White House. And if I’m not listening, I’m going to be sleeping alone in the Lincoln Bedroom.”
