News and commentary round upYES! Claire Wolfe's new book project with Kit Perez, "Basics of Resistance." Paperback sales start TODAY. Run, do not walk, to buy it.
From Reason: The Supreme Court's Continuing Immunity Crusade. A few thoughts on today's summary reversal in Kisela v. Hughes. [Ed: immunity for police, that is.]
From the Daily Mail: Shooter hated YouTube: Iranian animal rights protester, 39, who shot three staff at video giant's HQ before killing herself, had a vendetta against 'dictatorial' site for censoring her videos and not paying her [Ed: some reports say her victims were randomly chosen, which makes it seem less and less like a DV-inspired shooting.]
From Spiked: The return of the socialism of fools. The problem of left anti-Semitism is more profound than people recognise. [Ed: I will promote anything Brendan O'Neill writes.]
From Zero Hedge: Employees Working With Corporations To Stop Corruption And Overreach Of Unions
From Moon of Alabama: Why I Did Not Buy A Smartphone [Ed: refreshing.]
From Lew Rockwell: Assange Works For the People – Now We Need To Save Him [Ed: re: the isolation of Assange from public spaces.]
From Watts Up With That? The Children’s Crusade (Lawsuit) Against Climate Change
From the National Review: The ‘Nice Girl’ Who Saved the Second Amendment [Ed: hat tip to the Lady Claire Wolfe.]
From the Intercept: Israel Kills Palestinians and Western Liberals Shrug. Their Humanitarianism Is a Sham.
From the Economic Policy Journal: The Cafe Con Leche Index: Venezuelan Price Inflation Hits 6567% [Ed: Cafe Con Leche Index tracks just one item: a cup of coffee at a bakery in eastern Caracas. Its price has jumped to 120,000 bolivars* from 1,800 bolivars over the past 12 months, an increase of 6,567 percent.]
From Alternet: Sinclair Broadcasting Under Fire for Outrageous Trump Propaganda Script. Dozens of local anchors were forced to recite the same message to viewers.
From Powerlineblog: The left fails to take down Laura Ingraham [Ed: "The following companies on Hogg’s target list apparently did not pull ads: Sleepnumber, AT&T, Allstate, Rocket Mortgage, Arbys"]
From the New York Post: WikiLeaks will release encrypted ‘doomsday file’ if site blocked [Ed; rip it rip, Julian!]
From Zero Hedge: Saudi Crown Prince Admits Saudis "Financed Terrorist Groups", Blesses Israeli Statehood [Ed: the latter is the surprising twist. An Israeli-Saudi alliance would be frightening.]
From the Hollywood Reporter: 'Roseanne' Ratings Climb, Hit 25 Million Viewers With Time-Shifting Record [Ed: 7.3 rating in the key demo.]
From the CBC: How seagulls, pepperoni got Dartmouth man banned from posh B.C. hotel [Ed: an hilarious read.]
From Twitchy: DNC Vice Chair Calls For Repeal of Second Amendment But you’re crazy if you think anybody is coming for your guns, says CNN
From the Daily Bell: Why Elon Musk’s bankruptcy joke on Twitter isn’t funny [Ed: far more interesting than the title suggests.]
From Reason: California's Housing Reform Bill Is a Hot Mess. It Would Be Great If It Passed. SB 827 is a progressive-backed mix of climate change goals and tenant protections. It is also a major free market reform. [Ed: it would allow 8-story buildings where only single-story ones are now allowed.]
From Zero Hedge: Mueller Tells Trump’s Lawyers President Not A Criminal Target But Remains Under Investigation.
