OR KILL THEM AND PUT THEIR HEADS ON STICKS AS A WARNING TO OTHERS, SINCE THERE ARE NO COPS TO INTERFERE: Minneapolis Police Advise: Surrender Your Property to the Criminals and Obey Them. Remember: Ultimately, cops aren’t there to protect the community from criminals. They’re there to protect criminals from the community. Communities dealt with crime for millennia before police were invented, usually with rather limited due process.

I MEAN, IF YOU CAN’T TRUST IRANIAN GOVERNMENT STATISTICS. . . Coronavirus: Iran cover-up of deaths revealed by data leak. “The number of deaths from coronavirus in Iran is nearly triple what Iran’s government claims, a BBC Persian service investigation has found. The government’s own records appear to show almost 42,000 people died with Covid-19 symptoms up to 20 July, versus 14,405 reported by its health ministry. The number of people known to be infected is also almost double official figures: 451,024 as opposed to 278,827. Iran has been one of the worst-hit countries outside China.”

THIS IS THE PLAN OF COURSE: Americans Are Self-Censoring at Record Rates. As usual, it’s the worst for the Outer Party: “So what does predict who is reluctant to speak up? The answer is that Americans are more likely to self-censor the more urban and educated they are. In a surprising reversal of the usual trends of political participation, in which citizens who have more resources feel more empowered to take an active role in civic life, it is the urbanites and the highly educated who are most afraid to speak their mind.”

OPEN THREAD: Kick out the jams, motherf*ckers.

HACKS GONNA HACK.

HERE’S THE DARK MONEY TREASURE CHEST FUNDING BLM, DEFUND THE POLICE: Leave it the Capital Research Center’s Hayden Ludwig to turn over all the rocks and uncover the slimy progenitor of dark money, the Tides Foundation, plus George Soros, funding BLM and a host of related radical left groups.

DE BLASIO BRINGS BACK THE BAD OLD DAYS: New York City has already had more shootings in 2020 than in the whole of 2019 — with another seven attacks on Sunday morning alone.

Fortunately, Hizzoner is focused like a laser on solving New York’s real problems: Mayor Bill de Blasio says NYC seal should be re-examined.

UPDATE: Chicago has seen “a 150 percent increase in shootings compared to last July. So far this year, murders are up 51 percent…The city has been aggressive in confiscating weapons, having seized 5600 weapons up 5 percent over last year. It’s the people that use those weapons — gangbangers and wannabes — who need to be brought to justice. That’s not going to happen in Chicago.”

WHAT IT’S UNFAIR OF US TO EXPECT SCIENCE TO DO IN THE PANDEMIC: Lots of good, old-fashioned common sense from Drew Covert, plus a dash of scriptural truth. Don’t miss the different reactions of Captain Kirk and Dr. McCoy.
