Also, because leftists don’t really care about, or even necessarily believe in, global warming.

Does Pakistan count as Asia? Afghanistan? What about Syria or Lebanon or Jordan?

The rank and file leftists believe fervently in global warming; it is their cult religion, not to be questioned. But their puppet masters certainly do not. Their behavior outs them. Plus, we recall the Soviets were the principal backer of Western environmentalist groups, and what was the environmental stewardship of the Soviet Bloc? The worst ever.

On the first graph, I see Ukraine but not Russia? Are my eyes failing me?

Tragic story out of Charlotte, NC: 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, who fled the war in her home country, was fatally stabbed in an unprovoked attack on the Lynx Blue Line light rail last month.

Does castration violate the 8th amendment? There is a reason why aggressive dogs such as pit bulls should be neutered…

Execution is better: more just and more economical. I’m assuming a life sentence goes along with the castration. Bonus: execution is clearly constitutional since the is plenty of precedent for it.

I wonder who were the judges that let Brown walk after his ~14 arrests, and just before he killed - and what is their record.

I wonder what that map would look like if the illegals were excluded. I expect many of those blues and greens would turn orange or red.

I’m not completely sure that had Elon not purchased Twitter/X whether I would ever have heard of this horrific event (or have access to this kind of detail). This immediately blew up on X and it seemed quite a long time before other news sources I use even mentioned it in passing. And my neighbor, whose world view comes from NYT and CNN? I expect that all he knows is “Republicans pounce.”

I hope this was not intentional but also the way this story was parceled out has also been particularly effective at stoking anger. First, still pictures of the evil spectre looming over the unaware girl. Then, video leading up to just before the stabbing. Every hour, every day, more bits and different angles. Only later did we see anything regarding the aftermath of the crime and the bystanders (bysitters?). Each increment made this story even more horrific, in a way that I don’t think would have happened had the whole video been immediately available.

In May 2020, a noisy fraction of my fellow faculty temporarily hijacked our department’s webpage to announce solidarity with GeOrGe FlOyD. Gosh, I just don’t think they’re going to give the same tribute to Ms. Zartuska.

Interesting. For what it’s worth, if I hadn’t seen this and had you given me the chart without column labels, my attempt to guess which was which would have swapped the female/Trump and male/Trump labels.
