Kritarchs Waging Illegal Sick-Out

And , as yet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ kritarch and former union president , has admitted the ongoing criminal activity by kritarchs .
While there is some leeway for Tabaddor to make public statements regarding union business , but not on any issue unrelated to immediate issues covered by the collective bargaining agreement , there is no excuse for Marks to make any public statement about anything related to the EOIR .

The kritarchs in the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), the administrative hearing agency for immigration law, don’t like having to work, nor do they like being supervised by the President and the Attorney General. They, meaning their union representative Ashley Tabaddor, thinks she and the other bureaucrats should be real Article III judges. There is no chance of that happening, so like spoiled children, they are trying to break things in order to get attention. The thing they want to break is the immigration administrative hearing system, commonly called immigration courts.
For months now Tabaddor and the union have conducted an illegal strike against the EOIR under the cover of using sick leave, which, like striking, is illegal. Calling in sick when one is not sick in order to sabotage the function of an employing Federal agency or to obtain demands related to pay or work conditions is called a sick-out and is also illegal.
Sadly, Based Bill Barr has done nothing about this illegal strike; so consequently the illegal sick-out strike and sabotage of the functioning of the immigration courts is continuing. The excuse now is the Wu Flu.
The background is a lawsuit by illegal immigration advocates and the Treason Bar demanding an end to immigration hearings.
Immigration advocates and attorneys on Wednesday asked a federal judge to temporarily halt in-person court hearings for detained immigrants, arguing that the government’s decision to continue doing so during the coronavirus pandemic “unnecessarily endangers all participants.” The National Immigration Project of the National Lawyers Guild, the American Immigration Lawyers Association and the Immigration Justice Campaign filed the request for a temporary restraining order against the Executive Office for Immigration Review and Immigration and Customs Enforcement in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. [Coronavirus: Attorneys, Advocates File Emergency Motion To Halt In-Person Immigration Hearings, by Tatiana Sanchez, SF Chronicle, April 8, 2020]
And on cue, obviously working closely with the Treason Bar and advocates for illegal aliens, the kritarch union and Kritarch Tabaddor immediately make public statements supporting the lawsuit.
Prosecutors, defense attorneys and judges have all criticized the government for continuing to hold immigration hearings for detainees in San Francisco and nearly 60 courthouses across the nation during the coronavirus pandemic, even as many criminal courthouses have shut down. Hon. Ashley Tabaddor, a U.S. immigration judge in Los Angeles and president of the National Association of Immigration Judges, said in a statement Wednesday that defendants, attorneys and judges “are being forced to gather in courtrooms and buildings where there are confirmed cases of coronavirus and where people are visibly sick.” She added that court members are also “interacting with guards and detainees who are traveling back and forth from detention facilities — some run by private companies — where COVID-19 has been detected and confirmed.”
The collusion between the union, the Treason Bar, and illegal alien advocacy groups is obvious, and quite illegal. Federal employees, especially attorneys, are prohibited from such contacts and collusion with groups and persons having business before the Federal government. Furthermore, the lawsuit is obviously motivated by partisan political interests and participating in such activity is unethical for administrative law judges and illegal under the Hatch Act., a statute that protects Americans from being the victims of partisan political activities by Federal bureaucrats.
And, as yet again, Dana Leigh Marks, another kritarch and former union president, has admitted the ongoing criminal activity by kritarchs.
Many judges in San Francisco are calling in sick in order to stay home, said Dana Leigh Marks, an immigration judge and former president of the judges’ union.
While there is some leeway for Tabaddor to make public statements regarding union business, but not on any issue unrelated to immediate issues covered by the collective bargaining agreement, there is no excuse for Marks to make any public statement about anything related to the EOIR. Frequently Kritarch Marks is referred to with a union title, generally president emerita of the union. However, that is not an official union position recognized by the bargaining agreement, nor is it generally accepted as a union title or function that allows comment on issues related to an agency and its function. Federal employees are strictly prohibited from speaking with the press or making public statements regarding their work and agency unless authorized by the agency.
This is another reason that Based Bill is working to decertify the kritarchs union and place them under stricter supervision. However, he does not have to wait for the decertification of the union, he can fire Marks immediately. And he certainly has a case against Tabaddor as well, who frequently spouts off on issues unrelated to union business and demands changes in the law related to the immigration appeals system and promotion to real judge.
Time to put the kritarch bureaucrats in their place. Fire any kritarch participating in this illegal sick-out, as well as firing Tabaddor and Marks.
You can politely contact Tabaddor here or here: (310) 709-3580 or (818) 904-5200 respectively. Marks can be contacted, politely, here: (415) 705-4415.
You can also contact Tabaddor’s immediate supervisor, Scott D. Laurent, Assistant Chief Immigration Judge, at (818) 904-5200, and politely express you concern about the illegal sick-out strike by immigration judges and the union, her political activity that reflects poorly on the EOIR, and the appearance of a lack of judicial professionalism, propriety, and impartiality based on her obvious political activity being coordinated with political and legal groups with whom she has a working relationship based on her position as a Federal employee and attorney.
Marks’ direct supervisor is Christopher Seppanen, Acting Assisstant Chief Immigration Judge and can be reached at (415) 705-4415. Politely express your concern about the illegal sick-out by immigration judges, Marks’ politicized public statements on matters under the jurisdiction of the EOIR and how her partisan political behavior reflects negatively on the EOIR.

To repeat myself somewhat, ever since President Obama said “If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon,” some people have been referring to any black teenage thug who makes the news as “a son of Obama”. (This is racist, of course, but what isn’t?) It's possible, of course, that Obama himself doesn't know about this. It’s the kind of thing people don’t want to tell their boss.
Well, the shooting of Nathan Trapuzzano, allegedly by 16-year old Simeon Adams, is the latest example of why George Zimmerman was right to be wary, and should have been warier, of a strange black teen. It's also, as usual, being used as an argument for increasing "gun control", which only restricts white people's access to guns. See Indianapolis: Shooting By Black Teen Starts “Conversation” About NRA Convention, But Not Black Expo.

vdare--2020-04-10--German Scientists: Virus Is Spread Less by Work Than by Fun

German scientists have been studying their country ’ s hardest hit district , Heinsberg near the Dutch border .
They are focusing on a traditional Carnival party on February 15 as the local superspreader event .
From The Guardian : … A hundred days after a Chinese government website announced the discovery of a “ pneumonia of unknown cause ” , it has become clearer that the dynamics behind the virus ’ s rapid expansion across the globe has relied heavily on such “ cluster effects ” .
Each of the countries most heavily hit by the pandemic has reported @ @ @ @ @ @ @ religious gatherings where large numbers spent numerous hours in close company – holding hands , kissing , sharing drinks from the same glass – which then turbo-charged the spread of the pandemic .
For example , there is a bad outbreak in small town southwest Georgia that appears to trace back to a big funeral for a local janitor from a big family on February 29 .
As I ’ ve been mentioning , while some superspreader events , like the gay circuit party in Miami , are reminiscent of how AIDS spread @ @ @ @ @ @ @ events are innocent , respectable , normally healthy events like funerals , choir practices , and birthday parties .
“ One pattern we are seeing across the globe is that wherever there was singing and dancing , the virus spread more rapidly , ” said Prof Hendrik Streeck , a virologist at the University of Bonn whose team of researchers has spent the last week carrying out the first “ Covid-19 case cluster study ” in Heinsberg .
“ Most infections didn ’ t take place in supermarkets or restaurants , ” Streeck @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Heinsberg , his team of coronavirus detectives could find scant evidence of the virus being transmitted via the surfaces of door handles , smart phones or other objects .
Early theories that the virus at the carnival party in Gangelt could have been transmitted through the dishwater in the kitchen turned out to be a red herring : most guests drank their beer from bottles .
Instead , he said , transmission took place at “ events where people spent a length of time in each others ’ close company ” , such @ @ @ @ @ @ @ resort of Ischgl , the Trompete nightclub in Berlin and a football match [ Bergamo ’ s big game was rescheduled to the big stadium in Milan on February 19 ] in northern Italy .
“ Mass events are a perfect opportunity for the virus , as people meet total strangers , ” said Niki Popper , a mathematician at Vienna ’ s Technical University whose team has been developing a simulation that could help governments predict the development of the pandemic more accurately .
Instead of merely multiplying the number of daily @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s example tries to account for what he calls the starting point of “ local epidemic networks ” .
“ If you have 100 or 200 people spend enough time in a room with a person carrying the virus , then for example 20 might walk out with the new infection and , after a few days ’ incubation time , pass it on to their families and workmates , let ’ s assume 10 more people each .
Within a few days , the virus can thus multiply 200 times with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ continue.
” So if these German scientists are right ( and they might not be , but I ’ ve been looking forward to their findings since April 1 because this is a serious effort ) , then restarting the economy will be easier than restarting the society , which is good news and bad news .
We ought to be able to get back to work sooner , but how are new couples going to meet ?
In terms of restarting the economy , I can imagine that once masks are available @ @ @ @ @ @ @ blue collar workers to retrofit shops and houses to make them more resistant to spreading infections : for example , installing plexiglass along checkout counters and installing copper door handles and the like because viruses can ’ t survive as long on copper as on stainless steel or plastic .
The government could offer 1 % loans for this kind of project .
But restarting the pleasures of social life … that might be a long way off .
I ’ ve only been to Italy once , in 1980 , but my @ @ @ @ @ @ @ arriving in Milan was that northern Italians were much friendlier than the more standoffish Northern Europeans .
It was like an average day in Italy was like a holiday in Germany .
I didn ’ t get too far into Southern Italy ( Lecce in the heel ) , but Southern Italians seemed more furtive and suspicious .
Northern Italy , where there isn ’ t much mafia , was the friendliest place I visited in Europe .

Instead of merely multiplying the number of daily cases by a certain factor, Popper’s example tries to account for what he calls the starting point of “local epidemic networks”. “If you have 100 or 200 people spend enough time in a room with a person carrying the virus, then for example 20 might walk out with the new infection and, after a few days’ incubation time, pass it on to their families and workmates, let’s assume 10 more people each. Within a few days, the virus can thus multiply 200 times with only one new incident – and then continue.”

We ought to be able to get back to work sooner, but how are new couples going to meet?
In terms of restarting the economy, I can imagine that once masks are available, there will be some demand for blue collar workers to retrofit shops and houses to make them more resistant to spreading infections: for example, installing plexiglass along checkout counters and installing copper door handles and the like because viruses can’t survive as long on copper as on stainless steel or plastic. The government could offer 1% loans for this kind of project.

A white couple in Madison, Wisconsin was just executed by two black males. Their adopted non-white daughter is under investigation for her part in the execution.
The bodies of University of Wisconsin professor Dr. Beth Potter, 52 and her husband Robin Carre, 57, were found in a ditch last Tuesday

Sanford and alleged accomplice Ali’jah ‘Huncho’ Larrue, 18, were charged with first degree murder on Tuesday and face life in prison if convicted
Cops are still investigating Mimi’s actions on the night of the killings and whether she played any role, DailyMail.com has learned
These are the first pictures of the high school senior who is at the center of the ‘brutal execution’ of her adoptive parents. Mimi Potter Carre, 18, was dating her classmate who is now accused of shooting University of Wisconsin professor Beth Potter and her half-naked husband at point-blank range and leaving them for dead. Her pictures seem to show that Mimi didn’t have a care in the world as she horses around with her brothers, plays with her dog and poses in front of a mirror for a selfie. But now her world has come crashing down after boyfriend Khari Sanford allegedly killed Dr. Potter — who was helping the university in its response to the coronavirus crisis — and her husband, educational consultant Robin Carre. Sanford and alleged accomplice Ali’jah ‘Huncho’ Larrue, both 18, were formally charged in court in Madison, Wisconsin, on Tuesday with the first-degree murders of Potter, 52, and Carre, 57. Sanford is also charged with using a dangerous weapon. They each face life in prison if convicted. In the court hearing, held via video conferencing because of coronavirus, Dane County assistant district attorney William Brown said: ‘This was a brutal execution.’ He said what had begun as a burglary became a kidnapping and then a homicide where the victims were shot point-blank in their heads. Sanford and Larrue were each held on $1 million bail. Court papers show that Potter recently kicked Mimi and Sanford out of their $600,000 home just blocks from the university campus because the teens refused to follow her rules for social distancing during the health crisis. They had taken Sanford in to live with them a few weeks earlier. He had previously been in foster care. A schoolfriend, identified in papers only by his initials DF told cops that before their school closed he had heard Mimi and Sanford talk about ways of getting money. ‘DF reported hearing Miriam tell Khari Sanford that her parents had ‘bands’ of money and that they were rich, the complaint said. ‘DF reported that ‘bands’ likely meant thousands of dollars in cash.’ Mimi initially told police that she had been with Sanford at their apartment on March 30, the night her parents were killed, but analysis of her phone showed she had texted him around the time her parents were shot. ‘At least bring back the car and have someone get you from here. I don’t feel safe here,’ she texted Sanford.
There are so many lessons to be taken from this story of two black males executing a white couple in Madison, Wisconsin.
Her Name is Dr. Beth Potter.
His Name is Robin Carre.
They were both shot in the back of the head, execution-style.
The ultimate lesson? Stop believing the highest morality governing every aspect of life in America be dictated by the principles of Diversity. Inclusion. Equity. Tolerance (D.I.E.T.).

I have had one encounter with DeParle [ Email him ] and it mirrors your own .
Some years ago the New York Times put together a hit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ researched and written by DeParle .
( Pictured right . )
DeParle , right , called me at my office and left a message that he worked for the New York Times and wanted to interview me .
I was somewhat reluctant but Jared Taylor urged me to contact him because if I did n't , he would cite my refusal to talk as validating whatever the article said .
He revealed that he was calling me about John Tanton .
He was evasive in the early part of the interview .
I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out to see what I had to say about Tanton .
I told him the truth .
That I did n't really have any information to give him about Tanton .
DeParle was contemptuous at this statement and seemed pleased to be playing a cat-and-mouse game with me .
He asked questions demanding that I tell him about my `` work '' with Tanton .
I told him I had never worked with Tanton at all .
That I hardly even knew Tanton .
That I had only met Tanton one time in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
DeParle said he knew better .
Finally , I told him that , since he seemed to believe he had information about Tanton and myself that I did n't have or that he thought I was concealing , he should just tell me what this information was .
The interview then became more focused .
DeParle told me he knew about my `` correspondence '' with Tanton .
He said that he was positive that I did in fact `` work with '' Tanton .
I told him that I did n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with Tanton .
He said that he knew better and triumphantly confronted me with my `` correspondence '' with Tanton by reading out a letter Tanton had sent me .
I had been visiting a leftist relative who taught at Michigan State University .
I took a break from this visit ( visits with this particular relative are mutually stressful and tense ) by renting a car and driving around Michigan for a couple of days driving around the coast of the Great Lakes .
This took me through Petoskey and I dropped @ @ @ @ @ @ @ office .
He was in .
We ate lunch .
The whole thing lasted about 1.5 hours .
In the course of the visit I gave Tanton my business card .
The `` correspondence '' that DeParle had discovered came from Tanton 's papers that he had turned over to some university archive .
It was a typical kind of `` thank you '' letter that a congressman , for instance , might have sent .
He thanked me for dropping by and expressed the hope of meeting up again in the future @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or 5 sentences .
It was utterly bland .
The only personal thing in it was a remark that if he ever came to Atlanta he would take me up on my `` bigot 's tour . ''
This was an un-PC joking reference I used to make about taking people to sights in Atlanta that were worth seeing ( like the mass grave of Confederate soldiers at Oakland Cemetery who fell in defense of our city ) but that were n't on Chamber of Commerce approved tours .

I told him that my contact with Tanton was so long ago and so brief that if he passed me on the street or in the grocery store , I would n't even recognize Tanton .

I answered this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I read things about the immigration issue and if someone reads widely about the subject , Tanton 's name comes up as a prominent person in society who is concerned about immigration .

I read Peter Brimelow’s lengthy piece on the lawsuit against the New York Times. Two quick—at least, I hope I can be quick instead of being verbose as I usually am—comments:
New York Times Co. v. Sullivan
Years ago when I was a student at the University of Georgia in the late sixties, a few years after the Sullivan decision, I was at a party.
One of the other kids there was a graduate student whom I did not know and don't remember. It was a "normie" party of just a bunch of students, random friends of one of my nonpolitical friends.
He mentioned that he had majored in journalism and I asked him what he thought about the Sullivan case.
He was surprisingly blasé about it. Didn't really champion it. Didn't really criticize it.
But one thing he said was very interesting and I have never forgotten it.
He said that when the Sullivan case came out, the journalism professors were ecstatic. They were running up and down the halls screaming for joy. They told the students that journalists could now say virtually anything they wanted to. Didn't have to worry about liability. Didn't have to verify facts. Just Heaven!
The journalism graduate student did mention that he was surprised and put off at this gloating and delight at being unchained from responsibility to check sources and be careful of facts.
Jason DeParle :
I have had one encounter with DeParle [Email him] and it mirrors your own.
Some years ago the New York Times put together a hit piece on U.S. Inc. founder John Tanton researched and written by DeParle.(Pictured right.)
DeParle, right, called me at my office and left a message that he worked for the New York Times and wanted to interview me.
I was somewhat reluctant but Jared Taylor urged me to contact him because if I didn't, he would cite my refusal to talk as validating whatever the article said.
So, I called him.
We spoke for a long time…about 45 minutes.
He revealed that he was calling me about John Tanton.
He was evasive in the early part of the interview. I guess he was trying to draw me out to see what I had to say about Tanton.
I told him the truth. That I didn't really have any information to give him about Tanton.
DeParle was contemptuous at this statement and seemed pleased to be playing a cat-and-mouse game with me.
He asked questions demanding that I tell him about my "work" with Tanton.
I told him I had never worked with Tanton at all. That I hardly even knew Tanton. That I had only met Tanton one time in my life years ago and that briefly.
DeParle said he knew better.
Finally, I told him that, since he seemed to believe he had information about Tanton and myself that I didn't have or that he thought I was concealing, he should just tell me what this information was.
The interview then became more focused.
DeParle told me he knew about my "correspondence" with Tanton. He said that he was positive that I did in fact "work with" Tanton.
I told him that I didn't recall having had any "correspondence" with Tanton.
He said that he knew better and triumphantly confronted me with my "correspondence" with Tanton by reading out a letter Tanton had sent me.
I had been visiting a leftist relative who taught at Michigan State University. I took a break from this visit (visits with this particular relative are mutually stressful and tense) by renting a car and driving around Michigan for a couple of days driving around the coast of the Great Lakes.
This took me through Petoskey and I dropped in (unannounced) at Tanton's office.
He was in. We ate lunch. The whole thing lasted about 1.5 hours. In the course of the visit I gave Tanton my business card.
The "correspondence" that DeParle had discovered came from Tanton's papers that he had turned over to some university archive.
It was a typical kind of "thank you" letter that a congressman, for instance, might have sent. He thanked me for dropping by and expressed the hope of meeting up again in the future.
The letter ran on for 3 or 5 sentences.
It was utterly bland. The only personal thing in it was a remark that if he ever came to Atlanta he would take me up on my "bigot's tour." This was an un-PC joking reference I used to make about taking people to sights in Atlanta that were worth seeing (like the mass grave of Confederate soldiers at Oakland Cemetery who fell in defense of our city) but that weren't on Chamber of Commerce approved tours.
I told DeParle that this one letter (really only a note) was clearly a "Thank You" letter. The words themselves, to a sensible reader, did not indicate any working relationship but the opposite...that Tanton had only met up with me and really didn't know anything about me.
But DeParle was not to be put off.
He kept demanding to know about my "work" with Tanton. I kept telling him that I had never worked with Tanton at all and repeating that I had met him one time over one meal.
He was contemptuously dismissive of my denial of Tanton's and my "work" together.
I told him that my contact with Tanton was so long ago and so brief that if he passed me on the street or in the grocery store, I wouldn't even recognize Tanton.
DeParle was not be put off. He made it clear without directly saying so that he was certain and knowledgeable about my "work" and that I was being untruthful.
He closed in for the kill!
He demanded to know what we had talked about.
I told him I didn't really remember but that it certainly would have been about immigration.
DeParle insisted that we must have talked about other issues...race, Jews.
I told him that while I did not remember the conversation, I would not have spoken with Tanton about such controversial subjects since I knew he would have been offended because he held conventional views on such subjects.
This led DeParle to play what he seemed to think was a trump card.
"Well, then, if you and Tanton aren't colleagues, how did you KNOW to look him up?!"
I answered this goofy question by the obvious: because I read things about the immigration issue and if someone reads widely about the subject, Tanton's name comes up as a prominent person in society who is concerned about immigration.
DeParle thought this claim was simply derisory, laughable. People who disagree with Open Borders could not possibly meet up innocently with each other. There had to be some kind of underlying conspiracy, apparently. (I run across this idea often in articles written by professional "monitors" of "hate." I think it must arise from projection of their own conspiratorial Marxist behavior onto others.)
Some weeks later the hatchet job on Tanton appeared on the front page of The Times bearing DeParle's by-line.
The article quoted Tanton as denying he was a "racist", etc. but that it was a matter of fact that he had "corresponded with Sam G. Dickson, a Georgia lawyer for the Ku Klux Klan". [The Anti-Immigration Crusader, by Jason DeParle, April 17, 2011]
The implication was that there is some kind of trove of Tanton-Dickson correspondence awaiting the touch of an editor along the lines of books on the correspondence of Evelyn Waugh.
I wrote a letter to the Times asking for a correction. I pointed out that DeParle knew that the "correspondence" consisted of one single "thank you" note not more than 5 sentences long and that the article was deliberately deceptive by turning a single note into a vague but seemingly expansive "correspondence."
The letter was not published.
The letter was not answered.
The falsehood was not corrected.
End of my dealings with Jason DeParle.

Deep State saboteurs in ICE SVU are executing a mass jailbreak for illegal aliens in custody— this despite the fact that the China Flu is plateauing and of little public health concern in the custody environment .
To date there has been no outbreak in any jail or prison in the United States .

Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials have identified 600 detainees for possible release because they have been deemed “ vulnerable ” to the coronavirus , according to an email sent by the agency to congressional staffers on Tuesday .
More than 160 have already been released as part of the effort .
Advocates have pushed ICE to release certain immigrants with underlying medical issues and to scale back arrests , saying detention facilities were ripe for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ currently more than 35,000 immigrants in ICE custody at private and local jails .
“ Due to the unprecedented nature of novel coronavirus 2019 ( COVID-19 ) , U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ( ICE ) is reviewing cases of individuals in detention who may be vulnerable to the virus , ” an agency official told congressional staffers in an email Tuesday .
ICE is relying on guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and medical experts in making case-by-case determinations for release , the notice added .
“ The agency @ @ @ @ @ @ @ assess and consider for release certain individuals deemed to be at greater risk of exposure , consistent with CDC guidelines , reviewing cases of individuals 60 years old and older , as well as those who are pregnant , ” the notice stated .

The ICE SVU jail break is part of a campaign of sabotage of immigration enforcement just as the border shutdown is allowing the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to get control of the border, and have the manpower available to shift to interior enforcement.
More than 160 have already been released by ICE in an effort to curb the spread of the coronavirus in detention facilities.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials have identified 600 detainees for possible release because they have been deemed “vulnerable” to the coronavirus, according to an email sent by the agency to congressional staffers on Tuesday. More than 160 have already been released as part of the effort.
Advocates have pushed ICE to release certain immigrants with underlying medical issues and to scale back arrests, saying detention facilities were ripe for mass infections and casualties. There are currently more than 35,000 immigrants in ICE custody at private and local jails.
“Due to the unprecedented nature of novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is reviewing cases of individuals in detention who may be vulnerable to the virus,” an agency official told congressional staffers in an email Tuesday. ICE is relying on guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and medical experts in making case-by-case determinations for release, the notice added.
“The agency has instructed its field offices to further assess and consider for release certain individuals deemed to be at greater risk of exposure, consistent with CDC guidelines, reviewing cases of individuals 60 years old and older, as well as those who are pregnant,” the notice stated. “Additionally, efforts to identify other individuals who may be more vulnerable to COVID-19, based on risk factors identified by the CDC, other than age and pregnancy, are ongoing, based on the recommendations of CDC. ICE continues to re-evaluate all individuals in custody who make up vulnerable populations.”

In my star-crossed ECUSA , April 8 is the feast day of William Augustus Muhlenberg , a symbol of early Anglo-American assimilationism in that he had Pennsylvania German ancestors , one of whom was a member of the First and Second Continental Congresses and became Speaker of the House of Representatives , before he himself converted to Episcopalianism reportedly because of its use of English .
Muhlenberg was a pioneer of church education and in that long-gone ecotopian American ultimately bought a property including 1.5 miles of Long Island Sound shoreline to found what is now St. Johnland Nursing Center @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of course .
Oh , and it 's also the first night of Passover .
It has now become a multicultural must to step on Christmas by never mentioning it except in connection with other “ holidays ” , notably Hanukkah , aptly described by American Heritage 's Frederic Schwarz ( December 2000 ) as the “ Jewish Kwanzaa.

Earlier: Blacks Want Reporting Of Coronavirus Victims Because Of "Hardest Hit," Media Refusing Because Of "Not Reporting Race" Rules
Comrades! I have some important news. The Inner Party has issued a decree. The Main Stream Media can now talk about racial differences in the impact of Covid-19 (a piece of Thoughtcrime I have been committing since February 1, almost alone). They can’t be entirely honest about why these differences exist. However, it is permitted to highlight the fact of their existence.
This is because Covid-19 seems to be disproportionately impacting American blacks. So it can be used as an excuse to claim that elevated minority deaths are due to “inequality” and “white privilege.” In other words, race differences in the impact of Covid-19 in majority white countries can be weaponized in order evoke guilt in whites and help bring their majority status to an end.
So, let’s look at how our Woke masters are reporting this fact and the reasons for it, which naturally, they are only partially reporting or, in some cases, ignoring entirely.
The manifestly politically neutral Ibram X. Kendi [Tweet him] Director of the Antiracist Research and Policy Center at American University, recently penned a piece on how the pandemic “seems to be hitting people of color the hardest” [What the Racial Data Show, By Ibram. X. Kendi, The Atlantic, April 6, 2020]. In it, Kendi, pictured right, explains that “last week” he began to campaign to have detailed Covid-19 racial data released by every state because—
When I examine the trickle of data from states and counties on coronavirus patients, when I scrutinize the racial demographics of hot spots, when I study the survey data, it sure seems to me as if the viral pandemic is hitting people of color the hardest.”
In New York, for example, racial disparities could only be crudely estimated from the number of Covid-19 deaths in a given borough, taken together with the ethnic composition of the borough. But where actual race data has been released, notes Kendi, it is bad news for “people of color.” Michigan is 14% black but 40% of Covid-19 deaths are black.
On the same day, Nikole Hannah-Jones, pictured right, Email her] the black race commissar covering “race from 1619-present” at the New York Times, where she supervised the notorious “1619 Project,” an Orwellian attempt to make blacks the center of American history, tweeted under her handle Ida Bae Wells:
“When Covid-19 first hit America hard last month, the narrative was that it was the great equalizer, that in such a divided nation, our shared humanity meant we would be equal in our suffering. But those of us who understand racial caste in America knew this could never be true.”
Her subsequent thread revealed further interesting information, this time from Illinois. Blacks comprise 30% of the population Chicago but account for 70% of the deaths from Covid-19 [In Chicago, 70% of COVID-19 Deaths Are Black, By Elliott Ramos & María Inés Zamudio, WBEZ, April 5, 2020]. In Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, blacks are 26% of the population and 81% of Covid-19 deaths [Early Data Shows African Americans Have Contracted and Died of Coronavirus at an Alarming Rate, By Akilah Johnson & Talia Burford, ProPublica, April 3, 2020].
Beyond Hannah-Jones’s tweets, The Hill reports that in Louisiana, blacks comprise 70% of Corona deaths but only 30% of the population. The state’s Democratic governor, John Bel Edwards [Tweet him] is quoted as having called this “disturbing,” and pledging to get to the bottom of it.
Presumably, a higher fatality rate among whites would not be “disturbing” at all.
“The data already released shows troubling trends for African Americans that must be addressed to ensure public health,” Rep. Robin Kelly (D-Ill.), chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus Health Braintrust, told The Hill [Black, Latino communities suffering disproportionately from coronavirus, statistics show, By J.

Now what could be the reasons for Covid-19 disproportionately influencing blacks? As I reported last week, genetics alone would predict that they would be less susceptible. Blacks suffered less from Spanish Flu and they have even been shown to put up a stronger immune system fight against flu than whites who are matched for health status and other key variables. So, what, more environmental, factors could be overwhelming this hypothesized genetic advantage?
Hannah Jones/ Ida Bae Wells has merely tweeted the more palatable examples. Blacks are far less healthy than Whites. You are far more likely to die of Covid-19 if you have underlying health problems and blacks, partly for genetic reasons, are simply more likely to have these. They are, for example, 40% more likely to have hypertension, twice as likely to have diabetes and three times as likely to be hospitalized for asthma.[Disparities in Cardiovascular Disease Risk in the United States, by Garth Graham, Current Cardiology Reviews, August 2015] They are more likely to work in low paid service jobs, placing them in constant contact with other people. Blacks are less likely to own a car, putting them at greater risk due to the cramped, dirty conditions of public transport.

In 1918, germs were a relatively new idea and very few people—black or white—had fully imbibed the importance of washing their hands, also helping to explain why blacks were better protected by their apparent genetics during the Spanish Flu. Now, this has all changed. Compared to 1918, we understand a great deal about viruses work and, thus, how to avoid catching them. We also understand more about how to stay healthy and so avoid developing “under-lying health conditions.”
A big part of this in intelligence. Intelligence correlates with health because intelligent people better understand what is healthy and what is not. Intelligent people have higher future-orientation and impulse control. These make them less inclined to, say, take the extra piece of cake or not wash their hands thoroughly enough. They are more accepting of authority and more likely to obey authority. They are less dogmatic, less certain that they are correct, and, thus, more likely to take advice.

These facts would predict that blacks in the US, where blacks are highly urbanized, would be more likely than whites to catch Covid-19 and more likely to die of it when they do catch it.
I assume that this public health crucial information will be reported in The Atlantic in the coming weeks.
I conclude, again, by drawing my now-traditional moral:
If Covid-19 is not an Equal Opportunity disease, that means our race-denying Ruling Class is frightening most people too much—and not warning some people enough. This will not merely cause unnecessary chaos—it will cost lives.
As it turns out, (Only) Black Lives Matter.
