The New York Times is
starting to play games
with its readers

For the drive-by media, the Trump years were golden years. They could count on viewers and readers desperate to hear how horrible Trump was (and please, ignore the stellar economy, low unemployment, world peace, etc., because those just interfered with the narrative). What the New York Times discovered during the dislocations of 2020 and the nation-breaking of the Biden administration is that people desperate to find a respite from bad news like to play games. The paper is therefore planning to make a big move into the game market to diversify its revenue stream.

In the case of Tah v. Global Witness Publishing, Inc., which emerged from the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, nobody but the parties involved cared about the issues in the case. It became noteworthy, though, because Judge Laurence Silberman used the dissent, not just to disagree with the majority’s ruling, but also to warn against the danger of a national media that is completely allied with the party controlling all of Washington D.C. However, I find the case even more exciting because it attacks the notion of Supreme Court infallibility.

One year ago today, an article of mine at American Thinker became a flashpoint of mainstream media coverage and criticism. Before one week had passed, my article was referenced, including with links to it and me in four major articles at the Washington Post, two in the New York Times... Politico, Vanity Fair, Buzzfeed, New York Magazine, and others. (snip) The reason for all this fuss was that I was the first one in the national media to challenge the media-driven image of Dr. Anthony Fauci as a sage and a savior, a man whose commands to shut down the nation must be obeyed
Pot has always been a fool-killer for phonies like Kamala Harris, our purported vice president. Two of her most embarrassing, hypocritical political moments come down to pot, and now there's going to be a third. (snip) Five White House staffers have been fired because of their past use of drugs, including marijuana, press secretary Jen Psaki said Friday. (snip) Kamala, who bragged of getting high, supposedly in college. She got high, and then prosecuted others, then said she was all in for marijuana legalization, and now serves a White House that won't let potheads in.

The image of the new wall or fence with razor wire on top that now surrounds the Capitol has been floating across the screen of my mind since it was erected. (snip) Governmental force is now moving inexorably to center stage as radical ideas — ideas anathema to the majority of the people — are being forced down our throats by the sinister cabal running the country capitalizing on the drift away from traditional morality. The new immorality tends to drug the masses into a soporific state of ignorance (why think when you can do whatever you feel like doing?).
Up the Down Staircase

“Up the Down Staircase” is a 1960s movie featuring an English teacher in an inner-city New York high school. Like other popular movies from years gone by, many are remade into a more woke or politically correct version. This past Friday, President Joe Biden remade the movie but in solo version, a soliloquy starring only himself.
While ascending the staircase to Air Force One, Biden fell not once, not twice, but three times, going up the stairs. (snip) Biden not long ago criticized Trump for slowly walking down a slick ramp to avoid falling, a common sense move for everyone in their 70s
On Thursday, during a meeting in Anchorage, China’s top diplomat and its Foreign Minister showed Secretary of State Tony Blinken (an empty suit) and national security adviser Jake Sullivan stunning disrespect. It was almost as if the Chinese knew that these are weak, self-loathing, confused men – and it turns out they did know. Tucker Carlson revealed on Friday that the Chinese have a word for Biden and the other White wokesters now in power. They call them “baizuo,” and can describe their values with stunning and disdainful accuracy.
The 2006 movie, Idiocracy depicted a comically exaggerated American Dystopia. (snip) Now we watch in disbelief as one idiotic thing after another become new standards, rules, conventions and gasp -- even laws. (snip) The mainstream media has been praising nearly everything he does, but HE is not doing anything, and everyone is pretending that this doesn't matter. (snip) Foreign leaders surely are taking note. Maybe they can even determine what those codes are if Biden loses track of that piece of paper he is using to help remember pesky details like the reason he is at a particular event or the name of a major appointee to his cabinet

Rush Limbaugh’s time slot
as radio syndication giants
battle for his listeners 22 replies
Of course, nobody can replace Rush, but Westwood One, a syndicator whose parent also owns many of the biggest stations that carried the late talk show giant, is making a bid to grab his audience by moving Dan Bongino’s talk show to Rush’s time slot (noon to 3 PM Eastern) and replacing Rush in many of the top ten markets where its parent Cumulus Media owns the stations on which Rush appeared.
Rush’s show, currently being guest-hosted, is syndicated by Premier Networks, a subsidiary of iHeartMedia (snip) the two giants of radio station ownership and syndication are about to enter a titanic battle
Almost two months into the Biden administration, it’s an open secret that Joe Biden won’t take spontaneous questions from the press. That’s why it was peculiar on Wednesday for a clip suddenly to appear purportedly showing Joe answering questions from random reporters somewhere in America. What was even more peculiar was that Joe’s hands magically passed through the microphones. In other words, the weird hand illusion (combined with other oddities) in the video suggests that the White House is disseminating fake videos to make it look as if Joe is talking spontaneously to the media.
At first glance, the Bloomberg Quicktake video looks normal
Mask Mandates Do

Although some studies have concluded that masks help stop the spread of COVID-19, usually they have failed to replicate real-world situations. (snip) it makes sense to demand that states with mask mandates have lower COVID-19 death rates than states that don't. (snip) The question is, "Do states with mask mandates have lower COVID-19 death rates than states with no mandate?" (snip) States with a mask mandate: 13.0 deaths per 10,000 population.
States with no mask mandate: 12.6 deaths per 10,000 population. (snip) the notion that masking up keeps us safe receives no support from the data.

A year after “15 days to flatten the curve” began our lockdowns, we have enough data to answer the classic question about lockdowns (which still exist a year later in many places, including much of California): cui bono? (who benefits?) The answer is: as an individual, Jeff Bezos. His stock in Amazon, the single biggest beneficiary øf lockdowns, is worth billions of dollars more than before the lockdown. As a group: educated professionals, able to work from home via Zoom and other internet-based services and able to afford home delivery.

A former federal prosecutor, Glenn Kirschner, has launched a campaign to force “every business in America” to take a pledge that states, in part, that “The 2020 presidential election was free and fair, and produced accurate, reliable results.” Any American business refusing to take this pledge, regardless of their own personal beliefs, will presumably be subjected to the cancel mob.(Snip)The final piece asks companies to “not support, donate to or endorse politicians, political campaigns or political action committees that promoted false conspiracy theories surrounding the 2020 presidential elections (or otherwise acted in ways contrary to a representative democracy).”
Trump Inc. should build a Trump Hotel in El Paso and bid on the contract.
During an interview aired on Thursday’s “MSNBC Live,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki reacted to concerns that corporations will raise prices if taxes on corporations are increased by stating that President Joe Biden believes people “know that corporations do not need to raise the cost of goods in order to pay more taxes and pay more of their fair share.”Host Hallie Jackson asked, “Of course, he could only do so much if corporations end up raising prices on things if they end up having a tax hike as well, right?”Psaki responded, “He also believes that the American people are smart.
A new study from a Los Angeles hospital pushes for injecting men with the female sex hormone progesterone to treat COVID-19.
The trial, carried out by pulmonologist Sara Ghandehari of the Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles, recruited 40 male patients hospitalized with COVID-19. “As an ICU doctor, I was struck by the gender disparity among COVID-19 patients who were very sick, remained in the hospital, and needed ventilators,” she emphasized. “One group acted as a control sample, for comparison, and received only the standard medical care given at that time for the disease. The experimental group, meanwhile, also received 100-milligram injections of progesterone twice daily for five days
Stolen elections have consequences.Joe Biden has now pi**ed off Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.Istanbul – Erdoğan said Joe Biden’s comments about Vladimir Putin are “unacceptable” and “unbecoming for a US President.” “Mr. Biden’s statements about Mr. Putin are not fitting of a president, and a president coming out and using such remarks against the president of a country like Russia is truly unacceptable, not something that can be stomached,” Erdoğan told reporters Friday.

While the news of the day was Joe Biden tripping and grinding himself into the stairs of Air Force One, a much bigger story happened just prior.Secretary of State Antony Blinken decided to invite the Chinese delegation to Alaska to hold diplomatic talks. Holding a publicly-broadcast meeting is typically something you do when you know exactly how things are going to go. The last thing you want is to see your country humiliated by a tyrannical regime. Yet Blinken, clearly not prepared for the job he holds, ended up making the United States look absolutely pathetic in the face of the communists.Here’s one of the clips of Blinken getting owned.
The situation at the border is an absolute mess and completely out of control. Everyone knows this.Yet Nancy Pelosi had the nerve to stand in front of reporters this week and claim that Joe Biden has the situation under control.Once again, Democrats are telling you not to believe what you can see with your own eyes.FOX News reports:Pelosi says Biden has southern border situation ‘under control’. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., expressed confidence in President Biden’s handling of the surge of migrants at the Southern border, saying he’s got it “under control.”Pelosi said Biden is approaching the migrants, especially unaccompanied minors,
The Ford Motor Company, a multinational automaker, is reportedly planning to move a $900 million investment originally intended for an Avon Lake, Ohio plant to a site in Mexico, the United Auto Workers (UAW) union alleges.
In a letter to Ohio Assembly Plant (OHAP) employees in Avon Lake, where Ford employs about 1,740 workers manufacturing its F-650 and F-750 medium duty trucks, UAW official Gerald Kariem said Ford had committed to investing $900 million in the project in 2019.
While Joe Biden shows an inability to climb stairs, having face-planted no less than three times yesterday trying to board Air Force One, his wife is hitting the road to promote the latest COVID “relief” bill.Why a first lady is taking on the role of political propagandist is an interesting question.(Tweet) Traditionally, first ladies head up some mostly non-partisan, pet project and stick to that. To the extent that they have any role in governance, it’s extremely unusual for them to involve themselves with highly political matters.
Joe Biden’s multiple falls going up the ramp to Air Force One has been the big story of the day.
Fortunately, they are saying he’s alright, although typically they are refusing to answer real questions on the matter.
As my colleague Sister Toldjah reported earlier, the Biden team is now giving an “excuse,” claiming that Biden fell because of the “wind.” While there was a fair amount of wind as the video showed, if Biden is blown over by the wind, that could be a bigger problem than tripping on stairs.
OBERLIN — Following the murders of eight people at Atlanta spas Tuesday night, Oberlin College has renewed its condemnation of violence against Asian Americans.(Snip)Another condemnation came even earlier, on March 7, from Meredith Gadsby, associate professor of Africana studies and comparative American studies, and Bill Quillen, dean of the Oberlin Conservatory of Music. As co-chairs of Oberlin College's Presidential Initiative on Racial Equity and Diversity, they laid partial blame for attacks on "our national leadership in recent years," obliquely criticizing former President Donald Trump.(Snip)"Many in our communities hold multiple identities with which they navigate the messiness of American racial dynamics," they wrote.
In North Carolina, they’re trying to figure out equity. Hence, the state’s largest school district is advising teachers: Dismiss the complaints of white parents over “critical race theory.” The reason: Those parents’ kids are getting the benefit of the racist system. Per documents obtained by City Journal, Raleigh’s Wake County Public School System trained teachers last year on incorporating critical race theory into lesson plans.From Brittanica.com: Critical race theory (CRT), the view that the law and legal institutions are inherently racist and that race itself, instead of being biologically grounded and natural, is a socially constructed concept that is used by white people to further their
