ONE ETHICS VILLAIN PROMOTES ANOTHER, AS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PIMPS FOR BLACK LIVES MATTER ON ITS ANNIVERSARY---JACK MARSHALL

Sometimes an ethics story defies my ability to devise an appropriate headline. The AP story “Black Lives Matter movement marks 10 years of activism and renews its call to defund the police” is a prime example. The story is even worse than the headline (“activism” is a deceitful and deceptive euphemism for violence, lies, divisiveness and fraud), with the once-trustworthy news organization displaying the worst of U.S. journalism’s ethics rot.

CONFIDENTIAL TO: "STILL NO IDEA WHO SHE IS?

Sorry no one seems to know who this woman is. She seems harmless----just somewhat eccentric. (Although it appears that this is a different woman from the one reported about earlier in the year.)  She was reportedly asked to leave the lot when customers complained. No other info or confirmation is available.

IN THE NEWS---THE HOUSE OF REPS VOTED TO STRIP FUNDING FROM THE WUHAN INSTITUTE AND PARTNER ECOHEALTH

The House of Representatives voted to strip funding from the Wuhan Institute of Virology and partner group EcoHealth Alliance as part of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that passed on Friday, according to the watchdog group White Coat Waste Project.

The amendment blocks Department of Defense (DOD) funding for EcoHealth Alliance, a non-governmental research group that received $26 million in DOD grants since 2020, according to White Coat Waste Project. EcoHealth Alliance had previously helped fund an animal experimenter at the Wuhan Institute of Virology who some think could be the “patient zero” from the COVID-19 pandemic, White Coat Waste Project reported.House votes to defund EcoHealth and Wuhan lab (bizpacreview.com)
