'Enough already': Romney blasts Trump for pushing conspiracy theory about Joe Scarborough
https://edition.cnn.com/2020/05/27/politics/mitt-romney-joe-scarborough-trump-conspiracy-theory/index.html
Republican Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah on Wednesday blasted President Donald Trump for repeatedly pushing a decades-old conspiracy theory about MSNBC's Joe Scarborough, calling the attacks "vile" and "baseless."
Romney has been a frequent critic of
Trump, and his tweet on Wednesday appears to make him the second member
of his party in Congress to publicly call out the President over his
support of the conspiracy theory. Earlier this week, Republican Rep.
Adam Kinzinger of Illinois urged the President in a tweet to stop touting the theory, writing, "It will destroy us."
Trump says right-wing voices are being censored. The data says something else
https://edition.cnn.com/2020/05/28/media/trump-social-media-conservative-censorship/index.html
President Donald Trump has angrily complained this week about social media companies, repeatedly accusing them of censoring conservative voices and going as far as to sign an executive order Thursday seeking to limit their power.
But
data from Facebook, the world's largest social media company, pours
cold water on the assertion that conservative voices are being silenced.
In
fact, according to CrowdTangle, a data-analytics firm owned by
Facebook, content from conservative news organizations dominates
Facebook and often outperforms content from straightforward news
organizations.
Donald Trump Jr.’s Baseless Attack Calling Biden a Pedophile Is a Preview of the Dirty Campaign Ahead

He was joking, but not really. That seems to be the message from Donald Trump Jr. after he posted a meme on his Instagram account
that called former Vice President Joe Biden a pedophile. The meme that
the president’s eldest son posted for his 2.8 million followers includes
a picture of Biden saying, “See you later, alligator” while an
alligator below replies, “In a while, pedophile.”
Don Jr. and Eric Preview Trump Camp’s Ugly Biden Attacks

The president has never been kind to his opponents of any political stripe,
and his Democratic challenger in 2020 has not received a pass. In the
past year or so, Trump has claimed Joe Biden was only good at his job
“because he understood how to kiss Barack Obama’s ass,” called him the
“weakest mentally,” and identified the former vice-president and his son
Hunter with one of his favorite barbs.
Donald Trump Jr.’s latest Joe Biden “joke” reflects a proven strategy for mainstreaming extreme ideas

President Donald Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., tweeted and Instagrammed a reference to the widespread “Creepy Joe” meme on Friday — one labeling former Vice President Joe Biden a pedophile.
The meme, which has been circulating online in right-wing
meme forums as well as communities and hashtags devoted to the “Creepy
Joe” meme, highlights the fact a number of women have said the
presumptive nominee touched them inappropriately. It depicts Biden
saying, “See you later alligator,” with an alligator responding, “In a
while, pedophile.” On Instagram, Trump Jr. initially framed the meme as a joke, and later repeated the claim on Twitter.
woman are spiritually inferior to men - Netziv
Netziv (Bereishis 1:27)In the image of G-d All of nature
in its entirety was included with in him. From the moment that it occurred in
thought and speech that Nature should be that way G-d was called Elokim i.e the
G-d of Nature. And since all Nature was included in man he was thus in the
image of Elokim. But this is only true for the elevated man as he was before
the Sin. And afterwards male and female
He created them This verse is not saying
that gender was different in man from the other species so this teaches us that they were in fact two creatures as I
will explain later and since the male of the human species is not comparable to
the female as it states in Koheles(7:28)
I found one man out of a thousand but
not among woman. In other words the elevated man is like one who is in the
image of G-d and that is one man out of a thousand. In contrast amongst women, they are like the second man who has the name of man but not the spiritual

Number of coronavirus deaths in Sweden is highest per capita in the world
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/281047
Following Sweden's decision not to institute a lockdown to control
the spread of coronavirus, the country's death rate is now one of the
highest in the world.
Over the past week, Sweden has seen 5.59 deaths per million people,
significantly higher than the global average of 0.49 deaths per million
people.
Earlier this week, Sweden's state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell admitted that his country is in a "terrible situation."
In a sad week for America, Trump has fled from his duty
https://edition.cnn.com/2020/05/30/opinions/trump-twitter-minneapolis-george-floyd-gergen/index.html
But other than a brief tweet in
the midst of another storm, Trump remained silent on the most sensitive
issue of his presidency: the pandemic that is killing so many older Americans and people of color
living near the edge. Understandably, with the rash of other news, the
press is moving on. But we should pause for one more moment to recognize
how sad and sharp a departure his silence is from past traditions of
the presidency.
Trump Lashes Out as His Election Prospects Darken
https://time.com/5843451/trump-lashes-out-as-his-election-prospects-darken/
Some prominent Republicans say the President has crossed the line
with the attacks he’s lobbed in recent days. “We’re in the middle of a
pandemic, he’s the Commander-in-Chief of this nation, and it’s causing
great pain to the family of the young woman who died, so I would urge
him to stop it,” Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, the chair of the House
Republican Conference, said May 27, referencing Trump’s repeated
implication that Scarborough had been involved in the death of staff
member Lori Klausutis in 2001. (Police ruled the death an accident; at
the time, Scarborough was hundreds of miles away.) Mitt Romney, the only
Republican senator to vote to convict Trump on abuse of power during
his impeachment trial, called Trump’s suggestions about Scarborough’s
involvement in Klausutis’s death “vile” and “baseless.” “Enough
already,” the senator from Utah tweeted.

Judge Napolitano says officer charged in Floyd's death should be charged with second-degree murder
https://www.foxnews.com/media/judge-napolitano-says-officer-charged-in-gorge-floyds-death-should-be-charged-with-second-degree-murder
Fox News senior judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano reacted Friday to Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin being charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter over the death of George Floyd as riots and protests continue in the city.
"Third-degree
murder is the same thing as manslaughter, which is a reckless
indifference to human life. Probable cause statement shows that the knee
was on the neck for more than four minutes, that the other officers
said to him, 'Do you think you should lay off of him?' That one of the
officers took his pulse and there was no pulse and Officer Chauvin kept
his knee on the neck even after there was no pulse," Napolitano said on "Bill Hemmer Reports."
"Now, that behavior to me is an intent to kill, which is second-degree
murder. What's the difference? One has 20 five years in jail as a max.
The other has 40 years in jail as a max."
