On Friday, Special Counsel John Durham filed with the D.C. Federal District Court a what should have been a boring conflict of interest motion, but it hid a surprise: The Clinton campaign, through Perkins Coie, spied on Trump both before and after he was president. (snip) Durham alleges that Joffe was accessing internet traffic for “a particular healthcare provider” (speculated to be Spectrum Health), Trump Tower, Donald Trumps Central Park West apartment building, and “the Executive Office of the President of the United States (‘EOP’).”

As momentum from the Freedom Convoy in Canada mounts and works its way into the US, and similar convoys spring up in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, people are collectively standing up to two years of COVID restrictions, lies, misery, and abuse at the hands of our government masters. And we owe it all to Canada’s truckers. Oh, Canada’s truckers! We love you!
But it’s not just the truckers. It’s their families traveling with them. It’s the ordinary citizens bringing them fuel, hot drinks, and meals. It’s the throngs of people braving the cold and raising maple leaf flags in solidarity.

America’s COVID policies began as a war on the elderly and have ended as a war on children. In other words, they’ve followed perfectly the socialist trajectory. And if you want to know just how much children have suffered over the past two years, all you must do is watch a viral video from Las Vegas showing children celebrating when they’re told that they no longer need to wear masks. (snip) The only reason to continue with the mask charade is to hurt children. Socialized political regions always do that. Just as the military knows that, to build up a soldier, you first must break him down in boot camp,

I do try not to get angry when government actors confirm my belief that they are lowly human beings not worthy of respect. (snip) And one of those instances came this week, when Mitch McConnell pushed the D.C. Leviathan's lie that January 6 was a "violent insurrection" in his clear attempt to set the stage for a time in the near future when the power-mad monsters of Washington declare to the country that President Donald Trump will not be "permitted" to run for election in 2024. (snip) The D.C. denizens have just gone too far to ever be forgiven or for their treachery to ever be forgotten.

You couldn’t miss the headlines: The annual percentage increase in inflation clocked in at 7.5%, making it the worst increase in 40 years. (snip) real inflation is probably even worse than the accelerated rate suggests. That’s because, in 1990, the government changed how it calculated inflation (something it also did in 1980). John Williams’s Shadow Government Statistics calculates inflation as it would have been calculated before 1980 and before 1990. According to his numbers, inflation would have been over 15% using pre-1980 metrics and over 10% using pre-1990 metrics.
You don’t need the numbers, though, to tell you what you already know.

If you think the highest overall inflation rate in 40 years of 7% is bad, get ready for a real shock coming to a pump near you. Oil prices are surging so much that, ironically, even the "Green New Deal" president is begging global and domestic producers alike to ramp up production and pump, pump, pump! And despite his releasing millions of barrels of crude from the strategic oil reserve and pleading with oil-rich nations to increase their output, prices continue to climb.
In early December, oil was trading at $65 per barrel. Today, it's over $90

Almost forty years ago, KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov warned of an assault on the West via leftist ideological subversion. (snip) our enemies have been able to erode respect for the sacred ideals of the West -- individual rights, free enterprise, law and order, national sovereignty and limited government. They have enmeshed us in a non-kinetic World War III. Most citizens of democratic societies don’t even realize it’s taking place.
Over the decades, the fronts in this invisible war have multiplied. This is in keeping with Unrestricted Warfare, a 1999 book on strategy by two Chinese air force colonels

The Department of Homeland Security issued a Bulletin on Tuesday that sounds precisely like a prelude to a totalitarian crackdown on political dissent from the preferred narratives of the Biden regime and the deep state. Read the opening of the summary:
"The United States remains in a heightened threat environment fueled by several factors, including an online environment filled with false or misleading narratives and conspiracy theories, and other forms of mis- dis- and mal-information (MDM)"

Set your DVR for a real treat being shown on Turner Classic Movies (TCM) at 8:45 AM Eastern Standard Time. The 1949 RKO film The Woman in Pier 13 (originally titled I Married a Communist) dates from the period derisively called “The Red Scare” (snip) The film – even though derided as propaganda by anti-anti-communists – is quite good. The cast is terrific, with Robert Ryan, the star, portraying a reformed ex-communist now rising in a shipping company, blackmailed by the Party into cooperating with an effort to sabotage to docks in San Francisco with strikes.

It's true: a picture is worth a thousand words. When I saw the photo of former President Obama, standing, arms folded, at the construction site of his seaside Hawaiian mansion, quite a few words came to my mind. (snip) "Narcissist" — Having won the Democrat nomination for President, Barack Obama told his audience and the world, "This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal." (snip) Obama either thinks he actually did calm the oceans, or he knew all along that climate change is merely a useful device for controlling the naïve

America may be headed for a new type of energy crisis. While fracking technology still gives us relative energy independence, there is a distinct possibility that an electricity energy crisis awaits us. What if the demand for electricity significantly exceeds the supply over the next decade? We’d have soaring prices and rolling brownouts. That crisis could easily be triggered by the electric vehicles (EVs) Biden’s administration is pushing.
By his Executive Order and an associated Action Plan, Biden’s administration calls for 50% of all new vehicles sold in America by 2030 to be EVs.

The US Food and Drug Administration has an exhaustive process, “to evaluate new drugs before they can be sold.” (snip) When drugs are used as described by the label, this is referred to as “on-label” use. (snip) “Unapproved use of an approved drug is often called ‘off-label’ use.” The FDA does not object to this (snip) Except for two particular FDA-approved drugs. (snip) Over the past two years, the medical establishment and media has reversed course on off-label medications, not only dismissing them but shaming and vilifying anyone promoting their use. The two drugs in question are well known, hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin.
