Elon Musk has become the first trillionaire in history.

On this day in 1982, Steven Spielberg's E.T. hit the big screen. John Carpenter's The Thing, which opened two weeks later, never stood a chance against the adorable alien.

Last year DOJ published a report. For every 10,000 blacks, 153 violent crimes are committed by a black person each year against a white person. The same figure for violent crimes committed by whites against a black person: 3.4. A black person is 50-times more likely to commit a violent crime against a white person than for a white person to commit a violent crime against a black person. This is an extraordinary difference in the rates of violence committed between these two groups. We are told that whites are systemically racist. We are told that whites are successful because they oppress others. But the facts tell the opposite story. Blacks are not the ones being victimized. Whites are. Western civilization has been successful not because it was oppressive. It has been successful because whites created, starting thousands of years ago, systems that are impartial and fair. Today these systems are being dismantled. Criminals are being released because of their skin color. Law-abiding citizens are punished because of theirs. All in service of an ideology that is simply false. This puts everyone in danger.
