Are you ready for this week\u2019s absurdity? Here\u2019s our Friday roll-up of the most ridiculous stories from around the world that are threats to your liberty, risks to your prosperity\u2026 and on occasion, inspiring poetic justice.<\/p>\n
Today we tackle the woke.<\/p>\n
NYC\u2019s inspiring breakthrough in the science of contact tracing<\/b><\/p>\n
\u201cContact tracing\u201d is a tactic whereby public health officials attempt to track where you\u2019ve been, and who you\u2019ve been in contact with, in their efforts to contain a pandemic.<\/p>\n
And we\u2019ve seen a lot of contact tracing efforts lately.<\/p>\n
New York City hired thousands of contact tracing specialists who are tasked with calling everyone who tests positive for Covid-19 and interviewing them to help identify who else they might have infected.<\/p>\n
But now New York City\u2019s Comrade Mayor Bill de Blasio has instructed his contract tracers to specifically NOT ask if an infected person attended a Black Lives Matter protest.<\/p>\n
Seriously\u2026 what\u2019s the point?<\/p>\n
The entire idea of contact tracing is to find out who else might have been in close proximity. To deliberately NOT ask someone if they\u2019ve been in close proximity of thousands of other people sort of defeats the purpose of the entire contract tracing program to begin with.<\/p>\n
Naturally, New York City health officials have already said that any spike in Covid infections should be blamed on racism, and not mass gatherings of people.<\/p>\n
And that\u2019s what constitutes science in 2020.<\/p>\n
This is another obvious sign of woke intersectionality.<\/p>\n
Governments act like public health is their number one concern. They shut down the entire economy and refused to allow people to attend worship services, all to keep us safe from a strand of ribonucleic acid.<\/p>\n
But in actuality they\u2019re far more concerned with building political credibility with protestors, and they\u2019re willing to completely make up science in order to do so.<\/p>\n

Then he joined the Union Army during the Civil War, and died in battle, fighting to end slavery.<\/p>\n Perhaps statues in general are sinful in the new social order.<\/p>\n Except for the statue of Vladimir Lenin in Seattle. His statue has remained untouched.<\/p>\n Click here to read about Cervantes\u00a0<\/a>and\u00a0here for Heg<\/a>.<\/p>\n UK court fines man for calling an Irish guy a leprechaun<\/b><\/p>\n A man who insulted his ex-girlfriend\u2019s new boyfriend was charged with a racially motivated crime.<\/p>\n He used the \u201cgrossly offensive\u201d term \u201cleprechaun\u201d to refer to his ex\u2019s new boyfriend, who is Irish.<\/p>\n The court fined him \u00a3280\u2026 and I can only imagine the Holy Hell that the Twitter mob will unleash upon him.<\/p>\n
