A READING LIST for Americans on the crisis in civil rights:

“Suitable for use by students and educators seeking material for curricula in the social sciences, criminology, and ethnic studies, the list relies heavily on exemplary but lesser-known scholarship that draws on America’s heritage of individual rights, equality under the law, free markets, and freedom of opportunity. In addition, this resource is designed to be special value for civic and business leaders, policymakers, journalists, and the general public.”

The lists are here.

AMMO GRRRLL experiences language fatigue.

RI-I-I-IGHT: Robert Mueller's team accidentally wiped dozens of cell phone before records were logged.

CONSISTENTLY WRONG? AT LEAST HE'S CONSISTENT. Joe Biden did not have the guts to get Osama bin Laden.

The comments on this post are worthy of a read-through.

THE LIGHTBRINGER THREATENS AMERICA: Climate change is coming back -- unless you vote Democrat.

WITH AN ELECTION IN THE OFFING? Democrats block Republican COVID relief package. Well, why not?

AUBURN PROFESSORS show support for campus police by buying them 70 lunches.

It was only 3 professors buying, but it's a start. Read the comments.

A LEFTOVER FROM 9/11: Janice Dean remembers NYC firefighters lost on 9/11 from her husband's firehouse.

I regret having missed that yesterday.

I WOULDN'T BE TOO HARD ON THE CIVILIAN PILOTS. The military is trained -- and equipped -- for these types of missions.

RANDOM THOUGHT: Has anyone considered simply quarantining all cities of, say, five hundred thousand or more so the rest of us can get back to living normally?

PRO SPORTS AND POLITICS: Not a good mix.

Also: Get woke, go broke. And good riddance.

HE NEEDS MORE LESSONS IN TAP DANCING: Biden advisor melts down during Fox News interview.

Or to bring his own teleprompter....

TO HELL WITH IT: “the entire Rochester Police Department’s command staff has announced their retirement.”

Continue scrolling down for a Leftist idiocy tour....

A COVID VACCINE? Don’t hold your breath.

The bottom line ... is that a vaccine may or may not be proved effective someday, but it is more important, for now, to focus on treatments that can forestall the catastrophic immune reactions that can actually cause death in a COVID patient. Meanwhile, I think our governments should lift lockdowns and get all of us back to normal. Quite a few people will catch COVID, and a few of those will also die. Of those who die after catching COVID, an unknown percentage will actually die on account of COVID. This is nothing new in human history: diseases can kill people. Fortunately, this particular virus kills very few who are not already on, or close to, their death beds. We should be grateful for that, and should get our lives back to normal. Now.

It's time.

OF COURSE THEY ARE. Are Democrats hiding the truth about COVID?

It's all about control ... and November 3rd.

SO TELL ME IT'S NOT BECAUSE OF TINPOT DICTATORS: Coronavirus in one state.

NOVEMBER 4TH PREDICTION:

Just not for Democrats....

PELOSI ON WILDFIRES IN CALIFORNIA AND WEST: "Mother Earth is angry."

Yeah, well the Democrats won't clean her house, so Mother Earth has to do it herself.

CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION: Dining out may increase risk of contracting COVID-19. Yeah, and living longer may increase the risk of death.

BLUE-COLLAR WORKERS: You have a pretty good reason to vote for Trump again, this time with a stamp of approval from Joe Biden.

WUHAN FLU [CORONAVIRUS] UPDATE for September 11, 2020. This is Friday's data, but held off because I wanted to keep my 9/11 posts focused on the twin towers attack.

The news mostly remains good ... the 7- and 14- day smoothed data continues to decline, but the last three days have been a bit worrisome with deaths rising a bit to the near 1,000/day. The next few days should determine whether it's a trend or an anomaly.

As I already noted, the coronavirus 'pandemic' in Georgia is over. Confirmed cases have dropped by over half, daily deaths by over a third, and hospitalizations by half.
