The fact that over 800,000 people in the United States have reportedly died from COVID-19 is barely noted by the corporate propagandists, no doubt because it isn’t politically useful now that Bad Orange Man is gone. Or it could be that the media doesn’t want to highlight yet another failure of the woefully incompetent Biden Administration with Grandpa Dementia barely cracking the 40 point approval mark.
If Trump were still in the White House, we all know 800,000 deaths would have been trumpeted on every front page, the topic of every single leftist outlet’s headline for weeks. CNN would have already resurrected their morbid death count ticker

Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis mocked the corporate media’s “nauseating” coverage of the Jan. 6 Commemoration at the Capitol Thursday, calling it “Christmas” for Democrats, and a “politicized Charlie Foxtrot,” using military slang for a poorly-managed operation, or “clusterf-ck.”
”This is their Christmas,” DeSantis said, meaning Washington and New York-based media outlets. “They are going to take this and milk this for anything they can to be able to smear anyone who ever supported Donald Trump,” he added. DeSantis made the remarks during a news conference about COVID-19 testing in West Palm Beach. The governor took a number of questions from reporters on COVID-related issues.
Only 35 percent of respondents approved of President Joe Biden’s job performance, according to the CIVIQS rolling job approval average. Biden also received record-high (56 percent) disapproval from the poll, with nine percent having no opinion. The poll showed Biden with net approval of negative 20. This comes as Biden has been in office just less than a year and has dealt with a host of problems so far: a supply chain crisis, record-high inflation, and botched Afghanistan withdrawal. Biden had the lowest job approval among the 18- to 34-year-old age group, as 27 percent and 58 percent disapprove.
Teachers’ unions have consistently put the needs of America’s children last since the beginning of the pandemic, and even Democratic Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is getting sick of their nonsense.
In Chicago, a vote among members of the teachers’ union on Tuesday showed staunch support for remote learning amid record coronavirus case numbers, but Chicago Public Schools decided to cancel classes outright for Wednesday and Thursday to fight back.
As for Friday, some schools have already decided to cancel, and a district-wide announcement is expected Thursday night.
The district’s administration referred to the union’s stunt as an “illegal work stoppage.”
Five out of the seven Hennepin County commissioners are calling for Hennepin County Sheriff David Hutchinson to resign, and a sixth says it's up to the voters to decide his future.
Commissioner Chris LaTondresse released a statement Thursday afternoon saying Hutchinson's decision to drink and drive "violated the laws he took an oath to upload and enforce." (snip) At 8:18 p.m. Thursday, District 7 Commissioner Kevin Anderson wrote that he hoped Hutchinson would make decisions "in the best interest of the people of Hennepin County" and those he leads, saying that voters will make the ultimate decision on Hutchinson's future.
Whoever said God doesn’t have a sense of humor did not foresee Glenn Beck broadcasting a President Trump interview at the same time that Texas Senator Ted Cruz is saying the January 6th protesters are “domestic terrorists who need to be jailed for a very long time.” LOL
President Trump granted Glenn Beck a lengthy interview on the anniversary of January 6. The best part of this interview is President Trump saying all this s*** that Biden is doing can be fixed quickly. [He’s right] WATCH:
The CEO of Moderna says that a fourth coronavirus vaccine shot may soon be necessary due to declining efficacy of booster shots.

Seattle police officers falsified a report of armed Proud Boys members heading toward the autonomous zone in the city in 2020, a watchdog found.
The Seattle Police Department abandoned a precinct on June 8, 2020, and activists soon after established an armed protest zone in the area known by some as CHOP.
That same day, officers over the radio said armed members of the Proud Boys, a right-wing group that has clashed with members of the far-left Antifa network, were heading towards the area where the autonomous zone cropped up.
“We’re going to be the one taking my group down around city hall to monitor the group of the Proud Boys gathering
By Kelly Wilde -One year after January 6th, we remember the American citizens who marched on the Capitol in peaceful protest only to be brutally attacked by the Capitol and Metro Police, entrapped by federal operatives, and smeared across the nation.These protestors were peaceful until police mercilessly threw flash bombs, tear gas, and other crowd-control munitions into the crowd, killing at least four Trump supporters. Some came to defend old people, women, and children who were being violently assaulted by police that day.One year later, at least 50 are rotting in jail in illegal pretrial incarceration. They have been denied due process and are being treated inhumanely,

Penzeys Spices CEO Bill Penzey sent out a marketing email to customers on the anniversary of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol wherein he unleashed on Republican voters at large, calling them the "#1 threat" to the United States. In the email obtained by FOX Business, Penzey promotes a new "Remember January 6" box of a combination of spices, and calls on his customers to "remember this day forever," saying that Jan. 6, 2021, was "the plot that will live infamy."(Snip)The CEO also unleashed a string of insults against Republican voters in general along with independents who vote GOP, as he urged his customers
One year after the Capitol riot, no one has been charged with sedition or insurrection, despite initial Justice Department claims that such charges were likely and former President Donald Trump being impeached for allegedly inciting an insurrection. Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a Wednesday speech ahead of the riot’s anniversary that more than 725 defendants have been arrested. However, none of the charges have been for sedition or insurrection.
2021 was a miserable enough year, but apparently, it has coattails. As last year’s auto sales numbers come in, a sad new reality has come to light: America’s best-selling carmaker is no longer an American company.
Japanese automaker Toyota sold more cars in the United States than any other manufacturer, edging historical bestseller General Motors out of the top spot. This marks the first time since 1931 that GM isn’t the top-selling automaker in the states. Before them, Ford was number one.
This marks the first time in history that the top-selling carmaker in the United States is a foreign company.

Treasure hunters who believe they found a huge cache of fabled US civil war-era gold in Pennsylvania are now on the prowl for something as elusive as the buried booty itself: government records of the FBI’s excavation.

Democrats worried about Donald Trump’s resurgence in 2024 are reportedly seeking to disqualify him from mounting a comeback.While Trump’s polling numbers have regained momentum, a dozen Democrats are fearing Trump’s presumable intention to mount a 2024 campaign to retake the White House, the Hill reported. Among those Democrats reportedly seeking to deprive Trump of eligibility are reportedly Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), and Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN).The Democrats have reportedly sought advice on how to leverage Section 3 of the 14 Amendment, which states:

What exactly is Chuck Schumer doing? That’s the big question that’s emerged in light of his push to hold a vote on blowing up the filibuster. Ostensibly, he’s doing so in order to pass “voting rights” and save our “democracy” by having the federal government rig the 2022 election. But is that really his plan here?
I ask that because it’s been obvious since his “dear colleagues” letter was released that he doesn’t have the votes. Last night, Joe Manchin said he’s not on board. Now, Kyrsten Sinema has weighed in, letting it be known that her position hasn’t changed. She’s still against any maneuver that would eliminate the 60-vote threshold

Cast Members Sing as Part of January 6 Remembrance replies
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Thursday incorporated the cast of Hamilton as part of the January 6 remembrance, sparking further mockery that the Democrats are “literally” engaging in “theater.”“To begin the conversation, we’re privileged to have a contribution from one of the great creative talents of our time, Lin-Manuel Miranda,” Pelosi said.“May his beautiful words be an inspiration to us. Among the words he said in the music, we’ll make it right for you. If we lay a strong enough foundation, we’ll pass it on to you, and we’ll give the world to you,” she continued:

Mayor Eric Adams had tough words for Queens cops on his first day on the job, warning the bad apples that he’ll bounce them from the NYPD if they’re “abusive to my community,” video obtained by The Post shows. The former NYPD captain-turned-politician and newly minted Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell paid a visit to the 103rd Precinct in Jamaica on New Year’s Day, making a brief media appearance outside. Reporters were not allowed inside the stationhouse for Adams and Sewell’s visit. But footage from inside, and reviewed by The Post Thursday, shows the new mayor did not mince words when he spoke to the officers
GOP Rep. Liz Cheney and her father, former vice president Dick, were the only two Republicans standing in the House chamber when Speaker Nancy Pelosi held a moment of silence on the first anniversary of January 6. Pelosi announced the moment of silence as one of a series of events to mark the anniversary days in advance, and had asked lawmakers to tell her office if they planned to attend.But when it came time for the moment at noon Thursday, Cheney, a member of the select House committee probing January 6, didn't have much company on her side of the aisle.
While the establishment would like nothing more than for Mike Lindell to shut up and sit down, he’s a fighter that’s more than willing to ignore the elites in the D.C. Swamp and stand up for what he believes in.
Now, his refusal to go silently into that good night is back in the news. Rather than complying with the Pelosi-dominated Jan. 6th panel and submitting his phone records and other personal data to the partisan hacks on it, he’s counterattacking and suing the Jan. 6th commission over the subpoena for his phone records.That counterattack was launched Wednesday,
A new poll finds that most U.S. likely voters believe American society and culture is in decline—including large majorities of self-identified Democrats, Republicans and independents. The survey by the Trafalgar Group revealed that 76.8% of respondents from all political affiliations said that “American society and culture is in a state of decay,” compared to only 9.8% who said “a state of progress.” The remaining 13.4% said they were unsure. Voters on both sides of the aisle are unhappy with the current state of hot-button social and culture war issues for different reasons, said pollster Robert Cahaly, who founded Trafalgar Group in 2016.
The answer to this question is very straight forward. Putin is committed to a Russian nationalist model—the concept of Russia doing what’s in the best interests of Russia and the Russian people. That includes restoring and preserving traditional Russian culture, which was nearly destroyed by atheist Communism. Trump advocated for a similar approach in America, allowing for the differing reality of America as compared to Russia—remember Make America Great Again?
Our Globalist Masters, by contrast, are committed to a decidedly non-nationalist and non-traditionalist model. Call it—as they do—Trans-Humanist. From a governance standpoint it could be defined as Stakeholder Capitalism. Klaus Schwab, head of the World Economic Forum (WEF) defines that
A Seattle-area prosecutor was slammed over a recent presentation to law enforcement officials in which he insisted police should "get used to" the district attorney's office allowing juvenile suspects – even those accused of bringing a gun to school – to avoid jail time.

"Even for serious offenses the primary focus will be on rehabilitation," Carr wrote, adding in parentheses, "get used to this concept."

Former President Donald Trump responded to President Biden's sharp criticism in a Jan. 6 speech, saying his Democratic successor is trying to distract from his record. Biden "used my name today to try to further divide America," Trump said in a statement. "This political theater is all just a distraction for the fact Biden has completely and totally failed." "Our Country no longer has Borders, has totally and completely lost control of Covid (record numbers!), is no longer Energy Independent, Inflation is rampant, our Military is in chaos, and our exit, or surrender, from Afghanistan was perhaps the most embarrassing day in the long and distinguished history of the United
An illegal immigrant who sexually assaulted two women at packed Bournemouth beach while his friends watched and laughed has been jailed for 18 months. Kuku Machhal, 31, of Southall, west London, groped the women in the sea in two separate incidents on July 23 last year, Portsmouth Crown Court heard. The attacks took place on Bournemouth beach in front of a group of Machhal's friends, who were heard cheering and laughing about what had happened.(Snip)His actions came just a few days after a 15-year-old girl was raped in the sea close to Bournemouth Pier in an unconnected attack.

Mortality among young-to-middle-age Americans went through the roof last year. The majority of the increase didn’t involve COVID-19, according to official death certificate data.
Deaths among people aged 18 to 49 increased more than 40 percent in the 12 months ending October 2021 compared to the same period in 2018–2019, before the pandemic, based on death certificate data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
That’s more than 90,000 additional deaths in this age group, of which less than 43 percent involved COVID.
The federal agency doesn’t yet have full 2021 numbers, as death certificate data usually trickle in with an 8-week lag or more.
New Orleans, LA – A career criminal who attacked a tourist in the Big Easy last week clearly had no idea he had picked the wrong mother from whom to snatch a purse. The incident occurred on Dec. 28 shortly after Masina Tupea and her family arrived in New Orleans on vacation, HNN reported. Tupea is a graduate of the Punahou School in Honolulu, Hawaii and a nationally-ranked weightlifter. She set a national record with her 320-pound deadlift, according to HNN. Tupea said her family was walking to dinner on the sidewalk when a man suddenly attacked her mother.
The woman organizing a vigil on the National Mall to remember “the attack on democracy that occurred on Jan. 6, 2021,” is the same Antifa-affiliated woman who planned disruptions for the inaugurations of both President George W.

Josh Hawley’s wife and newborn baby last year over the Republican’s objections to the 2020 election results.
Liz Butler is a “partner” with Movement Catalyst, the organization hosting the official Jan. 6 vigil in Washington, D.C., just one year after the infamous Capitol riot. The event is part of an entire day of Democrat programming hoping to smear Republicans
Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker issued a statement blaming former President Donald Trump and the Jan. 6 rioters for the death of a Capitol police officer who died at the hands of a black nationalist in April. (snip)Capitol Police Officer William Evans died in April after 25-year-old Noah Green, a devout follower of the Nation of Islam and the radical Louis Farrakhan, rammed into a Capitol barricade and attacked officers with a knife.
But in Baker’s statement claiming that the actions of “Trump and his allies” on Jan. 6, 2021 would “stain this nation’s history forever,” the Republican governor attributed Evans’s death to the Capitol riot.
There’s a famous story about the 11th-century King Canute of England, in which in front of his courtiers he commanded the tides to stop—and yet they kept on rolling.

State officials in Georgia are now investigating allegations that ballot harvesting–a practice that’s unlawful in the state—was used widely during the November 2020 general election and the U.S. Senate runoff elections that followed two months later.
The allegations originated from good-government group True the Vote, which has promised to release other information on voting irregularities in five other states.
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican, confirmed to John Solomon of Just the News that a probe is underway and that subpoenas from the state’s election board may soon follow as part of the evidence-gathering process.

Below is my column in the Hill on the continued calls to disqualify Republican members of Congress to prevent them from running for reelection. What is maddening is that Democratic groups and commentators are seeking to remove as many as 120 Republicans from the ballots in the name of democracy. It is like burning books in the name of literacy. Yet, on this anniversary of the January 6th riot, members of Congress and Democratic groups want to block voters from reelecting their preferred representatives. Like villages in Vietnam, it appears that some members and activists believe that you have to destroy democracy to save it from itself.

Don’t get your hopes up, because this advice isn’t quite what it sounds like. Joe Biden’s former COVID-19 adviser have begun a public campaign to get the White House to end the “perpetual state of emergency” that the Biden administration keeps extending. It’s time to dump “zero COVID” for a practical path forward on endemicity, they say … but is that what they’re proposing?The New York Times covered this as breaking news of a sort, but the real point of these proposals is to enshrine the emergency state into permanence:

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said he would consider changes to the way Congress certifies presidential elections, telling reporters in the Capitol Wednesday the system might need reform. “It’s worth discussing,” the Kentucky Republican said. Lawmakers in both parties are eyeing legislation that would change the ease with which lawmakers can object to presidential election results following last year’s riot at the U.S Capitol on Jan. 6, the day both the House and Senate met to certify President Joe Biden’s victory under the Electoral Count Act.
The 2020 presidential election was unlike any in American history.
Hundreds of laws and processes were changed in the months leading up to the election, sometimes legally and sometimes not, creating chaos, confusion, and uncertainty. Tech oligarch Mark Zuckerberg, one of the world’s wealthiest and most powerful men, spent $419 million — nearly as much as the federal government itself — to interfere in the government’s management of the election in key states.
Federal prosecutors want convicted Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to use a $1,400 COVID-19 stimulus payment he received as well as other money held in his inmate trust account to help pay the millions of dollars he was ordered to pay his victims.

Italy is requiring the COVID-19 vaccine for persons over 50, making it the latest European nation to take drastic steps to increase uptake and ease the strain on hospitals. Officials decided to mandate the shots for older persons, who tend to see worse outcomes from COVID-19, amid another surge.(Snip)CNN reports violators could be fined between 600 and 1,500 euros under the rule, which is in effect until June 15. In workplaces, people older than 50 who refuse vaccination could be stripped of pay but wouldn’t be fired. Roughly 7% of Italians over 50 haven’t received any shots, according to The New York Times.
More Milwaukee restaurants have begun requiring proof of vaccination from dine-in customers, saying it's necessary for the safety of staff and patrons and to keep their businesses operating.
"It’s not meant to be punitive; it’s meant to be protective," in the way cutting off a customer from drinking is, said Melissa Buchholz, co-owner of Odd Duck, 2352 S. Kinnickinnic Ave. The restaurant this week announced on social media that it would require proof of vaccination — a vaccination card, a photo of the card or the online vaccine record filed with the state — along with photo ID.
Vice President Kamala Harris kicked off the Biden administration’s remarks on the first anniversary of the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot by comparing it to the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941, and the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.“Certain dates echo throughout history, including dates that instantly remind all who have lived through them where they were and what they were doing when our democracy came under assault. Dates that occupy not only a place in our calendars, but a place in our collective memory. December 7th, 1941. September 11, 2001. And January 6th, 2021.”
Congressional Democrats and their allies have been blowing a lot of hot air about the Jan. 6 "insurrection," a pathetic crowd-control failure brought on by Capitol police incompetence, crossed wires among those charged with security, and quite likely some FBI pot-stirring, through agents provocateurs. It's bee ess. The whole show is about discrediting President Trump to keep him from running for office in 2024, because, well, they know he won the 2020 election and a lot of voters would like to get their votes' worth in 2024. But that's precisely why they keep blowing the incident up into an "insurrection."
According to leftist Rep. Hakeem Jeffries
Her ongoing campaign to convince everyone who will listen that Republicans are the epitome of evil in the United States, MSNBC host Joy Reid on Wednesday accused the GOP of hating President Joe Biden because he was the Vice President under “the Black president.”Her guests, veritable yes-men former advisor to President Bush Matthew Dowd and former Sen. Claire McCaskill, had no issues with her assertion. Dowd himself even argued that if Republicans take back control of Congress during the 2022 midterms, democracy has “failed.”
The United States Postal Service has asked the Occupational Safety and Health Administration for “temporary relief” from the administration’s vaccination mandate for organizations with more than 100 workers. “The Postal Service’s request for additional time in implementing the [mandate] is directly related to our critical and unique role in American life,” said a Jan. 4 letter to OSHA from Doug A.

President Joe Biden blasted former President Donald Trump for spreading a 'web of lies' and sitting idly by as his supporters attacked the Capitol Building one year ago on Thursday. On Thursday morning, Biden, with Vice President Kamala Harris by his side, addressed the Capitol attack from Statuary Hall, one of the rooms hoards of Trump supporters traipsed through on January 6 of last year. 'We saw with our own eyes rioters menace these halls threatening the life of the Speaker of the House. Literally erecting gallows to hang the vice president of the United States of America,' Biden recalled.
President Biden is expected to blast former President Donald Trump as a threat to democracy and repeat his calls for passage of a federal election bill Thursday at an event marking the anniversary of the Capitol riot.

What happened to Ted Cruz?

I know from the volume of email I’ve received on it that Ted Cruz’s comments on January 6, 2021, calling it “a violent terrorist attack on the Capitol” have outraged many conservatives. Ted was once the darling of intellectually inclined conservatives, but I think the bloom is now off that rose.
Tucker Carlson used video of Cruz’s comments as the keystone of a segment on how Republicans are being cowardly and granting Democrats their false premises on the riot at the Capitol being an insurrection or even a “terrorist attack.” As Tucker put it, he was delivering talking points for Merrick Garland.
The Washington Examiner has broken what is, so far, the best story of the year: It turns out that Jill Biden has her own “walk-up” music. That is, whenever she makes an official appearance, this music is played for her, just as Hail to the Chief is played when the president appears. Someone within the Marine Corps band wrote it, although there is some dispute as to whether the White House requested such music or the Marine Corps band members spontaneously felt that Jill needed that special song.
When law enforcement touted foiling a months-long kidnapping plot of Michigan Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in October 2020 that spanned several states and included encrypted chats and explosives, many believed it was an open-and-shut case. But more than a year later, critics say the arrest and convictions of the lead FBI agent and an FBI confidential informant blurred the line between extremist and confidential informant. Moreover, three planned witnesses have been accused of crimes and won't be testifying in the March 8 trial in Grand Rapids as defense attorneys question the FBI's credibility.
A former aerospace company executive accused embattled Democratic New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham on Monday, as well as several of her appointees, of retaliating against him after he filed a whistleblower complaint.

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) made clear Wednesday that he will work with the House and Senate to secure legislation that would make Georgia the next constitutional carry state in the Union.
Breitbart News noted that Kemp plans to see constitutional carry legislation passed in Georgia by this spring.
Prior to his announcement Kemp released a statement: “I believe the United States Constitution grants our citizens the right to carry a firearm – without state government approval. For law-abiding Georgians, their carry permit is the founding document of our nation.”
The rest of the nation may have moved on, but Democrats are determined to squeeze the events of a year ago for every ounce of political juice they can from the events that happened at the U.S. Capitol.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she wants to mark the day as “an observance of reflection, remembrance, and recommitment.” President Joe Biden plans to speak on the Capitol steps. The press is providing saturation coverage.
(snip) But in our view, there have been many other events that also happened to take place throughout history on Jan. 6 that are far more deserving
Recently, Democrats have been despondent over Joe Biden’s sinking polls. His policies on the economy, energy, foreign policy, the border, and COVID-19 all have lost majority support.
As a result, the Left now variously alleges that either in 2022, when they expect to lose the Congress, or in 2024, when they fear losing the presidency, Republicans will “destroy democracy” or stage a coup.
A cynic might suggest that they praise democracy when they get elected—only to claim it is broken when they lose. Or they hope to avoid their defeat by trying to terrify the electorate. Or they mask their own revolutionary propensities by projecting them onto their opponents.
What happened to Ted Cruz?

I know from the volume of email I’ve received on it that Ted Cruz’s comments on January 6, 2021, calling it “a violent terrorist attack on the Capitol” have outraged many conservatives. Ted was once the darling of intellectually inclined conservatives, but I think the bloom is now off that rose.
Tucker Carlson used video of Cruz’s comments as the keystone of a segment on how Republicans are being cowardly and granting Democrats their false premises on the riot at the Capitol being an insurrection or even a “terrorist attack.” As Tucker put it, he was delivering talking points for Merrick Garland
I’m not a Packers fan, but what quarterback Aaron Rodgers said should make you one at least for this season. In fact, I want Green Bay to win the Super Bowl. I want Aaron Rodgers to get his second ring. I want him to win NFL MVP as well. Why? Well, one NFL MVP voter said he can’t vote for the future Hall of Fame quarterback (snip) "I don't think you can be the biggest jerk in the league and punish your team and your organization and your fan base the way he did and be the Most Valuable Player," Arkush said, via USA Today.
Can't decide on the colour of your next car? Well, BMW has you covered with their all-electric iX Flow, which changes from black to white at the push of a button.The German automobile firm unveiled the chameleon-like sports activity vehicle today at the Consumer Electronics Show, which is being held in Las Vegas, Nevada. The colour changing ability uses the same 'E ink' electrophoretic technology built into the screens of e-Book readers, except applied to a special car body wrap.
Donald Trump on Wednesday told his supporters to 'rise up' against Democrat overreach, in a statement that raised eyebrows on the eve of the anniversary of the Capitol riot.Trump had planned to hold a press conference at his Mar-a-Lago resort on Thursday, but was warned against it by his allies, who felt it was provocative and likely to be damaging.Instead, he issued a statement criticizing Joe Biden's handling of the COVID pandemic. 'Now, there's talk by the Biden Administration again about closing schools and even vaccine mandates for school children,'
Two Florida sheriff’s deputies with a newborn baby killed themselves within days of each other, leaving their 1-month old son an orphan, an official said.St. Lucie County Deputy Clayton Osteen died Jan. 2 and Deputy Victoria Pacheco took her life “in the wake of Deputy Osteen’s death,” Sheriff Ken Mascara said in a statement on Tuesday. (Photo) The name of the newborn child has not been shared.“As sheriff, I saw these two deputies as young, ambitious, and a great compliment to my already amazing group of professionals,” Mascara said.
The debate is over. After a year spent investigating claims of election fraud, the media has determined that any fraud in the 2020 election was too insignificant to have changed the outcome and Joe Biden legitimately won. Now we can get back to our normal lives, or whatever passes for normal now…except that’s fiction. (snip) Coup d’états differ from revolutions in that they’re generally orchestrated by or include people within government who seize power (snip) After two months of being caricatured and called conspiracy nuts or white nationalists, almost a million frustrated Trump voters went to Washington on January 6th to demand Congress investigate the election
The bad news is that the flu and COVID-19 have been found to produce what is being called a “twindemic”. Cases of the flu are surfacing at the same time as COVID-19 and people are testing positive for both. The good news is that at least one expert is saying to stay calm. For once it doesn’t seem to merit predictions of doom and gloom.
Flurona is real. It is a combination of the flu and coronavirus. Cases are beginning to surface. The first report of such a finding was in Israel. The Times of Israel first reported a case of flurona with an unvaccinated pregnant woman
Thomas Edsall, one of the few decent contributors at the New York Times, published a valuable piece of journalism Wednesday on the sheer size of philanthropic commitment to left-wing “racial justice” measures. With nearly 3,000 words of interviews and assorted content, he explores how much money — nearly $25 billion it turns out — was donated by progressive elites to divisive racial endeavors after the May 2020 killing of George Floyd.
Before Floyd’s death, Candid — a website for wealthy “people who want to change the world with the resources they need to do it” — said philanthropic entities provided about $3 billion in “racial equity funding” from 2011-19. Since then,
Scott has already mentioned the 48-mile traffic backup that occurred in Northern Virginia yesterday. Reportedly, cars were stopped on I-95 for more than 24 hours in freezing temperatures.
It must have been awful, but it could have been worse. And, as Charles Lane explains, it would have been much worse if there had been many more electric vehicles (EVs) in the traffic jam.
Lane writes:
Sometime after 3 a.m. Tuesday. . .a long-haul trucker from Canada heard a knock at the door of his cab. It was one of the hundreds of other motorists stuck in subfreezing temperatures with no food or water.
The supplicant was “driving a Tesla,”
