Black Lives Matter Was Violent From The Start, And Media And Politicians Knew It

JULY 8, 2020 By Christopher Bedford

The Black Lives Matter protests are radical, they are violent, and they have claimed innocent lives all over the country. This isn’t a surprise: We’ve watched this movement played out before by many of the exact same leaders and even under the exact same name. Now, through a combination of political foolishness, public amnesia, and willful media gaslighting, America gets to live it all again — and more civilians and police officers are being attacked and even killed.

The Black Lives Matter movement isn’t new at all. It’s the same loose collection of good-thinking people concerned over police violence and violent, anti-police and anti-family radicals as it was when it first gained national prominence in 2014.

As a refresher, the group was founded in 2013, during President Barack Obama’s second term and after the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin in Florida. It wasn’t until a rash of viral police-related deaths the next year that its national profile began to rise, including protests over the killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, Eric Garner in New York City, and then the following year Freddie Gray in Baltimore and Walter Scott in North Charleston, South Carolina.

It was cheered on at the time by the media for all the same reasons it’s being cheered on today: Some of the viral videos and events convincingly depicted unjustified killings of black suspects by police, and despite the clear and radical politics of the founders, their name conveys an obvious truism. Unfortunately, it quickly showed its violent and intolerant side then, just as it has today.

…Things quieted down. Donald Trump won the presidency, and shell-shocked journalists and Democrats went on a short-lived soul-searching mission, wondering what went wrong and how they could have misread the American public so badly. “Maybe we pushed too far,” President Obama privately reflected. “What if we were wrong?”

The introspection did not last, and by the end of the year — a year five police officers were killed and dozens wounded and hospitalized by Black Lives Matter radicals — BuzzFeed fondly looked back on 2016 as “the year Black Lives Matter went global.”

…But some aren’t getting the message. “If you want an all-black lives matter movement started … then start that movement,” CNN’s Don Lemon told black actor Terry Crews Monday. “But that’s not what Black Lives Matter is about.”

Lemon was wrong on most things during that segment, but on that one point, he was right. Let’s see how long it takes us to remember.

Agree, the sooner the better.

Trusting the plan and hoping the truth comes out very soon.

Military Members Are Losing Their Religious Freedom While Trying To Protect Yours

As the government lays out ever-changing guidelines for safeguarding the same military who sacrifice their lives all over the world, they risk killing freedom on the home front by restricting religious practice.

(Snip)

The Navy last week asked my husband to sign his name to a new restriction broadly “prohibiting,” in bold letters, a multitude of activities “to include indoor religious services” and even to discourage “in-person use” of “drive-in spiritual services.” While we maintain a faint hope that the military doesn’t really mean to restrict religious practices, the latest restrictions preclude nearly all indoor religious services — even those adhering to COVID-19 guidelines.

…As the government lays out ever-changing and inconsistent guidelines for safeguarding the same members of the military who sacrifices their lives in conflicts all over the world, they risk killing freedom on the home front by restricting religious practice. Military leaders are coming dangerously close to suppressing the very rights and values they are sworn to protect.

Other military leaders have signaled they will not follow the president’s orders if they — or perhaps just the coercive mob — don’t agree with those dictates. Lower-ranking service members, however, could face legal punishment for attending a simple church service.

I am a simple military wife, raising my children while trying to work from home. I can’t easily afford time to write essays, but the cost of quiet compliance is too high.

It is time to speak out at all levels and assemble in the name of freedom — not scream obscenities, jump on cars, shoot people, and tear down statues, but gather peacefully in our churches, synagogues, and other places of worship before God in prayer. It is time for courage. It is time to uphold the oaths we have sworn to protect what is most precious against enemies foreign and domestic.

We are in a battle for the truth, but the war has already been won. The truth can be discerned, tested, appreciated, or distorted, but only in the little minds of men. Reality exists outside mankind. We didn’t make it, and we can’t unmake it — no matter how loudly we rage or how thoroughly we mask it. The transcendental nature of what is enabled the Founding Fathers to assert, “We hold these truths to be self-evident.”

Independent of what any military can mandate, agitator can label, weak-minded collegian can chant, or self-seeking politician might sanction, there exists truth: good and evil, right and wrong. The truth is triumphant, and it is time we bear witness to that victory.

"The real threat to Americans is not a virus or racism so much as enemies to truth and reason who seek to manipulate pandemics, hatred, and emotions to loot and uproot the heart of America. They cannot pilfer what we refuse to relinquish, however, and that applies to faith."

23andMe finds evidence that blood type plays a role in COVID-19

Preliminary data from 23andMe’s ongoing genetic study of COVID-19 appears to lend more evidence for the importance of a person’s blood type — determined by the ABO gene — in differences in the susceptibility to the virus.

• The preliminary data suggest that O blood type appears to be protective against the virus when compared to all other blood types.

• Individuals with O blood type are between 9-18% percent less likely than individuals with other blood types to have tested positive for COVID-19, according to the data.

• There appeared to be little differences in susceptibility among the other blood types.

These findings hold when adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, ethnicity, and co-morbidities.

Although one study found the blood group O only to be protective across rhesus positive blood types, differences in rhesus factor (blood type + or -) were not significant in 23andMe data. Nor was this a factor in susceptibility or severity in cases.

• Among those exposed to the virus — healthcare and other front line workers — 23andMe found that blood type O is similarly protective, but the proportion of cases within strata is higher.
