"Disproportionate" MPS Suspensions?

Here we go again.

Members of the public are asking the Milwaukee Public School (MPS) Board to do more about the disproportionately high number of Black students being suspended. 

Disproportionate to what, exactly?

To behavior problems?

To assaults on teachers and other students?

Or to just numbers? 

"Activists" (demi-Marxists) got away with this faked-up BS 10 years ago and expect to pull it off again.

In Milwaukee, they might succeed.  Too bad.

Kenosha Insurrectionist Re-Arrested

The insurrectionist who fired a gunshot into the air in Kenosha, likely precipitating even more violence, was RE-arrested in court yesterday for intimidating a witness in his trial.

Bail is now $14K instead of $1K (really??).

Look at that picture.  His mom must be proud of him.

Decrepit Old Woman Spits on Patriots

Red China's favorite US Senate minority leader, a decrepit old woman, said what he's always believed.

...Mitch McConnell affirms the united DC position that all J6 protestors were violent domestic terrorists, carrying out an insurrection attempt, intent on destroying the carefully constructed democracy the DC elites are providing to the people. 

... the second point was McConnell admonishing the RNC for rejecting Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger as members of the Republican Party platform. ...

Look for McConnell to demolish any Senate candidates--new or incumbent--who don't kiss his China-butt.  There will be 'rumors' and 'revelations' which suddenly appear seemingly from nowhere.


Kellogg's Now Financing Illegals

This gives a whole new meaning to "Corn Pops."

A coalition of activist organizations has teamed up to institute the pilot program across 13 counties in New Mexico where 330 illegal alien households will receive monthly payments of $500 for the next year.

The W.K. Kellogg Foundation is bankrolling the program.

For practical purposes, the Foundation controls the cereal company.  

It is noteworthy that Kellogg's employees struck the Company over a 'second-class worker' proposal last year.  Apparently the Company throws off enough profits to 'pop' $2 million or so 'krispy' dollars to illegal aliens, but can't find a way to make all its workers 'first-class.'

Some flakes run that Company and it isn't greeaaaaaaaat.

What New Nuttification Is This??

Got an interesting note from GOA.

The NICS Denial Notification Act would open criminal investigations into 100% of background check denials, even though government studies show 9 out of 10 times these denials are false positives.

Passage of this language would result in criminal investigations into TENS OF THOUSANDS of innocent, law-abiding Americans for the non-crime of being denied a gun purchase by a broken background check system each year....

Something like 90% of NICS-check denials are erroneous.  Of the rest?  Usually, ATF declines to prosecute for one reason or the other.  So who wants denials to be subject to criminal investigation?

You'll not be surprised.  These are the Bedwetter-Class Senators.  That malady is bi-partisan.

Biden* To Announce Conquest of CoVid-19

The State of the Union address is upcoming, and judging by CNN's "health" quack, the US' troublies with CoVid-19 are finished.

"Science" has changed.

Timing is everything.

Nancy's CapCops Go Full Stasi

Not that long ago (1989 or so) the Capitol Police was a standard cop-shop, with the Capitol as its beat.  There were uniformed and 'detective' divisions.  Most of the work was directing tourists to the bathroom, shooing them away from no-parking zones, and occasionally nabbing a bad guy on the Grounds.

Now they're Pelosi's very own Stasi.

...In November 2021, a USCP officer entered the congressional office of Rep. Troy Nehls, R-Tex., and took a photo of a whiteboard in Nehls’ legislative office detailing various legislative plans being considered by Nehls and his staff. In a formal police report filed several days after the incident, the officer wrote that he had been conducting a routine security patrol on Saturday, November 21, and discovered that one of the doors to Nehls’ office was open.

The report claimed that the officer entered Nehls’ office and found a whiteboard that contained “suspicious writings mentioning body armor[.]” The officer reportedly took a photo of the whiteboard, which was then passed around to analysts within USCP. The following Monday, USCP dispatched three plain-clothed intelligence officers to Nehls’ office and questioned a staffer who was there about the whiteboard and the legislative proposals it contained....--RedState quoting Politico

Nancy's spy 'discovered an open door'?  Yup.  And I have waterfront property on Biscayne Bay to sell you, reasonably priced.....

What's that about "body armor" which 'raised suspicions' at Nancy's Stasi office?

...In reality, the mention of “body armor” on the whiteboard was in relation to a federal contractor in Texas who had committed fraud by supplying Chinese-made body armor instead of U.S.-made body armor....

Remember too, that Nancy's Stasi is opening offices in Florida and California--and other un-specified locations around the country.

Obviously, they don't believe in the Fourth Amendment and they do perform no-knock "investigations."

Be prepared.

Conveniently for the Stasi (and the FEEBS), DHS published a new threat warning:

...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) introduced and/or amplified by foreign and domestic threat actors. These threat actors seek to exacerbate societal friction to sow discord and undermine public trust in government institutions to encourage unrest, which could potentially inspire acts of violence.....

Blah blah blah.

Dissent?  You could be in Nancy's Gulag hell-hole, the D.C. prison.

Who Bets She's Possessed?

Human trafficker (prostituting young girls) is apprehended at the border.

Stay with the video to the end.

Taking your bets on possession.....

Catholic Charities: Criminal Facilitators

We are all aware that Catholic Charities has been trafficking illegal immigrants into the US heartland.

A 5-year-old riding in her mother's car. A Texas sheriff's deputy on routine patrol. A Florida father who thought he was foster parenting a minor. A Mississippi woman pistol whipped as she talked on cell phone. Three people found burned to death in a car in Alabama.

All have one thing in common: they were victimized since President Joe Biden took office by immigrants who illegally crossed the border.

The rising tide of high-profile, gruesome crimes far from the U.S.-Mexico border is creating a potent political issue as control of Congress is up for grabs this November while leaving a trail of carnage and drug overdoses in America's heartland....

Do the Bishops wish to respond to this?

This Is NOT "Conspiracy Theory"

The 'pandemic' looks more and more like a 'planned-demic.'

...The previous two nightmare years were engineered decades ago and exposed in the 1960s.  Dr. Vernon Coleman’s short 17-minute video explains what the globalist architects were up to back then and where we are today…frighteningly close to completion!  He mentioned a dystopian lecture by Dr. Richard Day.

In March 1969, Dr. Richard Day, Professor of Pediatrics at Mt. Sinai Medical School in New York gave a chilling lecture about the “New World System.”Previously he had served as Medical Director of Planned Parenthood Federation of America.  He told of future plans, whether as a forewarning or to unburden himself.  He spoke as though he had colluded with the blueprint designers. His warnings for the future were uncannily accurate.

Dr. Lawrence Dunegan attended Dr. Day’s lecture.The audience was told not to take notes, but he later recorded his recollections of what was said by Dr. Day. Two of the three tapes made by Dr. Dunegan were transcribed and can be accessed at this website.  It’s all there, and we’re experiencing everything Dr. Day told the Pittsburgh Pediatric Society 53 years ago.  I urge you to fully peruse the website it as it contains vital information not included in this article.

Dr. Coleman exposed the highlights of Dr. Day’s lecture.  Day warned that in the future, the elderly would be eliminated by making it more difficult for them to access medical care.  He stated that social chaos would be promoted, travel would be restricted, hospitals would become jails, private medicine would be eliminated, the incidence of heart attacks would be deliberately increased, the world population would be reduced, information would be controlled, fake science would be used to promote the myth of global warming, there would be cameras everywhere, sports will become unisex, ID cards will be implanted, food supplies would be controlled, the weather would be controlled, and the people would be controlled....

That's quite a litany of stuff that has actually happened in the last few years.

Remember that Planned Parenthood was founded by a lover of eugenics (and of Hitler.)  

Zhu Yi's Embarrassing Falls

This Zhu Yi person is a world-class skater.

So why is she falling all over the ice in the Olympics?

Did she, perhaps, take a few rounds of The Vaxx??

The Dane County Totalitarians

The Chinese Lung-Rot pandemic has given citizens a clearer vision of the nature and character of public 'servants' at all levels of Government and in the public schools.  That's a feature, not a bug, because many of those 'servants' are actually little Totalitarians disguising themselves as do-gooders who 'love the people.'

In fact, they despise the people.  That's easy to see with Trudeau and Fauci, but it hardly stops there.

Take Jerry Halverson, MD., Chairman of the Dane County Board of Health.  Please.

Recently, following a FOIA request, Halvorsen's office released two documents slightly related to the actual target of the FOIA.  But those documents tell all you ever need to know about Halvorsen.

The first was a letter to Halvorsen from the Freedom From Religion wack-a-doodles.  You remember them; they threaten to sue public entities over "religious" symbols, such as the cross which used to be in the city seal of Wauwatosa. Yup.  Those people.

Anyhow, the letter described--with approval--the Covid-related restrictions in Europe.  For practical purposes, it's all VaxxPassed/Papers, Please, with near-constant testing of everyone.  The letter concluded with a plea to Halvorsen :

...Anything you as local government officials can do to lobby for or set up widespread rapid testing sites, including in our public schools, will go hand-in-hand with vaccination mandates to stop the spread. We urge you to emulate these effective policies by setting up a Madison/Dane County “green pass” immediately....

In sum, what "Freedom From Religion" wants is this:

...Government-enforced coercion to force people into vaccine compliance; A constant testing regimen for all citizens; Public-health-justified, "papers please" policing; and a partitioned society in which those who do not comply experience punishment through limited movement, marginalization, and ultimately--it stands to reason--exclusion....

If that sounds familiar, you've read the history of Europe, 1900-present, especially the part about the USSR and its cousin-in-governance, Germany, 1939-1945.

So how does Jerry Halvorsen, Chairman of the Dane County Board of Health, respond to this demand?

i [sic] totally agree with this, but this isn't our call is it?

No, Jerry, it's NOT 'your call.'  Thank God.  (Stuff it, FFRF.)

By the way, if you think that the FFRF's request is a bit odd--after all, their mission is to eliminate God from near-anyplace--it's notIt is perfectly consistent with their atheism, as is Eugenics, the Next Big Thing, pushed by Bill Gates and Elon Musk, plus WHO Eve, too, thought that she could be 'like unto God.'  Didn't work out well for her and Adam, and it ain't gonna work out well this time, either.

Biden*: Free Crack Pipes for POC's, LBGTQs

Flat-out amazing stupidity.

The Biden administration is set to fund the distribution of crack pipes to drug addicts as part of its plan to advance "racial equity."

The $30 million grant program...will provide pipes for users to smoke crack cocaine, crystal methamphetamine, and "any illicit substance."

...Applicants for the grants are prioritized if they treat a majority of "underserved communities," including African Americans and "LGBTQ+ persons," as established under President Joe Biden's executive order on "advancing racial equity."  AOSHQ quoting Free Beacon

If I were a POC, I'd be insulted.  And looking at Biden's continuous 'approval' fall in those groups, it looks like they are, indeed, insulted.

The money's going to non-profits and local governments.   Let's hope that Catholic Charities is NOT one of the applicants, eh? 

New Portrait of Fauci

 This portrait seems accurate.

How Feebs Play Games

This was directed to Canadian truckers, but it's very useful to know for any patriots.  It's "what to do and what NOT to do" .....  H/T Captain  (NB:  page-order reversed on this post.)

 

Canadian CapCops Just Like Ours!

The police force in Ottawa, CA. are the police for the country's capital.  Ergo, "CapCops."

They are now stealing gasoline and other supplies from individuals who are bringing them to the truckers.

They haven't gotten around to murdering or beating the s**t out of protesters (as was done to repress assembly and free speech in D.C. on January 6th '21).

That is, they haven't commenced brutality.  At this time.

But it's obvious that criminal tendencies lie just beneath the surface in CapCops of North America.

Sundance observed the same tendency and warns:

...Let this serve as yet another example of how police units will respond to carry out the orders of government officials regardless of what laws, limits or duties ordinary citizens may project upon them.

When told to load YOU into the cattle cars, or fire upon any resistance effort, every single police officer will follow orders; and they will execute those orders with extreme prejudice, without distinction for constitutional limitations.  In the era of COVID compliance, all police officers are jackboot security agents of the authoritarian state.  Conduct your affairs accordingly....

 This is not just Canada's battle.

Obama: "Masks Are for Little People"

There is no Democrat politician who believes the bullshit about masks.  Not one.

Not even THE One.

Little Cock Robin's Water Getting Hotter

Robin Vos, Speaker of the Assembly and Manager of Lobbyist/Donations in Wisconsin, may be feeling the heat.

The Sheboygan County Republicans passed a resolution condemning Vos for taking away Rep. Ramthun's only staffer, undermining Rep. Brandtjen, and slow-walking the investigation of the '20 Election Fraud.

Vos is an Establishment guy, fat and happy with his lengthy 'service' as Speaker.

He and his defenders carefully avoid mention of his endorsement of "drop boxes," which are NOT authorized under State law, but which were "authorized" by the Wisconsin Election Commission Democrat Election Machinery using a "pandemic" as their excuse.

Vos has his, and the rest can take the hindmost--according to the Gospel of Robin.

We'll see how long that lasts.

Also note well:  Senate Leader LeMahieu represents Sheboygan County and the "Holy Land" of east-central WI.  You can bet he's heard the footsteps.


"Capitalism Uber Alles"?? Not So Fast

Since the idiot-with-teeth-and-boobs emerged, decrying "capitalism" and seemingly picking up support from a widening circle of The Glitterati (the useless class), we've heard full-throated screaming from "conservative" commenters--some on local radio--defending "Capitalism."

They never seem to mention that in America and the rest of the West, "capitalism" is highly regulatedNaked Capitalism does not exist in this country or any other.  The argument is only over 'how much' to regulate (and tax).  And, of course, over cui bono?--who will benefit.

One example of the questionable cui bono is mentioned here:  (HT:  Grim)

...Land and homes are being purchased at 20% to 50% above the asking price, using money that investment capital controls from the Federal Reserve. What this means is that the [investment] firm can buy homes using money that was created out of thin air by central bankers, rather than having to commit family wealth to the purchase. Families simply cannot compete with the bottomless funds that the Fed provides....

One hopes that the "Capitalism Uber Alles" crowd can perceive a problem there.  

During the recent "pandemic," 30%++ of restaurants went under in Wisconsin alone, and tens of thousands of Wisconsin citizens were pitched into unemployment or bankruptcy if they owned one of those places.  Due to the "pandemic rules" created by various Governments, certain Capitalists increased their wealth very significantly--those which owned or controlled virtual-purchases (and delivery) outfits.  Many of those "capitalists" were very supportive of continuing "pandemic rules."  Do you blame them?

One hopes that the "Capitalism Uber Alles" crowd can perceive a problem there.

And just in case you think that Georgia's recent corruption is a first for that State.....

...The Yazoo land fraud was named after the Yazoo River, which was west of the territory controlled by Georgia at that time. In 1795, the government of Georgia passed a law called the Yazoo Act, which sold 60% of the land in present-day Alabama and Mississippi to four land-speculating corporations. Naturally, the process was corrupt, featuring bribery to major politicians and newspaper editors alike.

Jackson resigned his Senate seat in order to come back to Georgia and fight the corrupt sale. He had a tough road ahead of him: he was setting himself against the entire political establishment of the state, which knew that what it had done was wrong, and was determined not to be held accountable for it. Jackson took a disciplined approach, using county-level grand juries and friendly newspapers to expose the corruption of the ruling political class. As a consequence, he was able to build a political movement against the corrupt sale of Georgian land. He won office first to the State Senate, where he wrote the law revoking the Yazoo fraud. Then he won the Governorship, which he used to execute the law....

One hopes that the "Capitalism Uber Alles" crowd can perceive a problem there.

Jefferson's "Yeoman farmer" was at one time 25% of the US population.  That farmer has been replaced by small business owners referred to as "Main Street."

Naked Capitalism Uber Alles proponents should think very carefully about whether they wish to be owned by BlackRock or BlackStone.  That IS the problem here.  


To "Overturn" or NOT To "Overturn"

That is the question.

Two Con-law Profs debate--on paper--the memorandums written to Mike Pence regarding the authority of the Vice-President to reject electoral votes pending further review from States.

That is NOT "overturning" an election, no matter the drivel-drool Pence emits.

One debater is the author of the memos.  The other is another Claremont guy.

The reason you haven't heard the arguments is simple:  no MSM outlet could or would represent them fairly.  That would require both integrity and intelligence. 

(Note:  Danny-Boy O'Donnell will 'cover' the story today.  We'll learn about integrity and intelligence, eh?   Here's what's relevant to Danny-Boy's "argument" from Eastman's rebuttal:

...This entire dispute turns on the question of whether the electors were legally appointed, and the whole foundation for my memo, and for my ultimate advice, was that they were not, precisely because non-legislative officials in the several states at issue altered or suspended state election law in violation of the Constitution’s Article II grant of that power exclusively to the state legislatures. Remove that foundational premise, and I would not have made the arguments I did....

 .....something that "Con Scholar" O'Donnell missed entirely.  One has to admit that contradicting both Levin and Eastman, by a guy who never practiced law, takes more than a little nerve.  So we'll credit Danny-Boy for nerve, but not scholarship.)

For further reference, here's the story on the Federalist Society, which is the newest home of the Club-Establishment.

Dialog With the Naive Yout'

Me:  I see that since the Twin Cities imposed a Vax-Pass on bars and restaurants, business has fallen off by 30-40%.

Yout':  Well, it's only 40%.

Me:  That's the profit-money.  Did their rents go down by 40%?  How about utilities?  Lease payments on the equipment?

Yout':.....................*crickets*.............

Perhaps that will inspire thought.

Good "Think Piece" From Wauck

Over at Wauck's place you can find a think piece which invokes Chesterton and hammers 'woke' capitalism, drawing the parallel between said 'capitalism' and eugenics.

Really.

You don't have to love GKChesterton's 'distributism' economics--it's hard to love because, really, it's impossible to describe--to understand that what passes for capitalism today is not friendly to man.

And Chesterton wrote about it in 1910 or so.

Read it.  It'll give you stuff to think upon.  That's the point.

Chung-King Flu Data

Look at the post below this one.  Then look at the (real) data here.  You'll understand the former best in light of the latter.  Wauck has a take on it, too; he linked an article which uses Teh Scienzzzz to show that Teh Vaxx suppresses the immune system.  Yup.

Polling Data

Based on my gut, this poll is accurate.

"Gun Control" in Milwaukee

This is how "gun control" works in Milwaukee.

Goblin gets charged with UN-licensed concealed carry in October, 2020.

Demands trial, gets $250.00 bond.

Trial postponed due to Scary Chinese Flu.  Wash, rinse, repeat, postpone, postpone.

Perp kills two in Brown Deer.

See?  Gun control!! 

Now it's time to blame the gun.  Enter every single Mayoral candidate, led by Barrett's pick, "Word-Salad" Johnson.

Note to GOP "Leaders"

Here's a nugget of wisdom from someone who has been there and has the tee-shirt, too.  While this has to do with the ChiComs' persecution of the Catholic Church, there is a parallel in today's political arena.

...[Fr. Fahy] joined the Jesuits, went to China, was ordained a priest in Shanghai in 1945, and found himself in the district of Yangchow in 1949 — when the Communists arrived there.

Their first target: the Jesuit school.

"At first we were left pretty much alone while the Reds dug in," Fahy wrote in a first-person account Life Magazine published in 1952 (and that is now available online).

"That summer, however, our school, the Aurora Preparatory, was taken by the Communists, both students and teachers being subject to an increasing barrage of dialectics," he wrote.

They demanded "church reform."

"Catholics were everywhere pressured to prove their 'patriotism' by cooperating," wrote Fahy. "There were the naive few who thought it possible to concede an allowable inch when the Reds demanded a yard. Theirs was always the loss, and a bitter object lesson to a watching Church. Today it is now clear that there are but two choices: capitulation — or heroic defiance no matter what the cost."...

It's not a stretch to compare the Communists with the Democrat Party, although the Democrat Party has not (yet) conducted mass exterminations of civilians.  However, the Marxist tilt of the Party--and its penchant for totalitarianism--are clearly warning signs.

The lesson:  don't give them an inch.  Trump was pretty good at NOT conceding.  He got re-elected for that, and no, we are NOT conceding otherwise.

Cal State: "Hate" Crimes Are Trump's Fault

Well, sure!  Why not Trump???

The level of hate crimes in the U.S. shot up in 2021 across a dozen of the nation's biggest cities, and Asian Americans were among those being targeted most often amid the coronavirus pandemic as crimes against them skyrocketed 339 percent.  

Data from metropolitan police departments in 14 cities found hate crimes were up by 46 percent in 2021 from 2020. 

The disturbing findings come from data that has been collected as part of an as yet unpublished study by the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University. ...

[Cal State professor propagandist] Levin explained how the center tracked a rise in anti-Asian violence after former President Donald Trump started calling COVID-19 the 'China virus' and 'kung flu.'

You will also note that D.C. "hate" crimes are up substantially.  However, the 'study' claims that "hate crimes" are mostly directed at blacks.

That's a problem, as D.C. is at least 60% black.  

Well, no matter.  Hate crime in D.C.?  That's Trump's fault, too, right??

CIA War-War Propaganda At Eleven-ty!

The "intelligence" branch of Government is seriously ramping up its propaganda about "Russia RUSSIA RUSSIA!!!!!  We're at Eleven-ty!!

...It comes as US military and intelligence officials believe Russia is set to run a major nuclear weapons exercise in the coming weeks...

(First off, you never knew that there is an "intelligence branch" of the US Government, did you?  You studied the Constitution, and it says there are only three branches.

Silly you.  There are FIVE:  the ones listed in the Constitution plus the "intelligence" branch and the "bureaucrat" branch--the latter being the one which makes and changes 'the rules' at will, the former being the one who creates revolutions in Other People's Countries to accommodate various "interests", principally those of BAE, Ingalls Shipbuilders, General Dynamics, L3Harris, Boeing, United Technologies and Halliburton, among others.  The "intel" branch also persecutes and imprisons dissident American patriots.)

So we're at ELEVENTY because you f'n rubes don't really give a flying fig about some inter-Urals squabble over territory and by God, we're going to MAKE YOU love war.

Got it, Tucker Carlson??


Planet NPR's Bubble

We listen to NPR so you don't have to.  You can thank me later.

This morning, Liasson reported that Washington DC is "mostly" united/bi-partisan on slapping up Russia for its nastiness although she never mentioned 'war.'  Later, there was a breathless report from Kiev about the various bomb-shelters and underground command posts.  The bomb shelters are not ready for use by Teh Pipples, and that's a REAL alarming situation, no?

Liasson also asserted that--with the recent job numbers and reduction in Chinese Lung-Rot, the Bai-den Administration is 'looking better.'

OK.  Sure.

Finally, some dweeb from World Bank (?) was interviewed about "trust in Government."  The results of their study were that [community organizers] create more trust in Government.  He also completely side-stepped the reporter's question about 'confusing' CDC/health agency chatter during the pandemic.  Never came close to answering the question, nor even acknowledging it.

Planet NPR's bubble!

Left Attacks Van Orden for Being a Patriot

Most patriots expect that elections are fair.  The Great Fraud of 2020 was a wake-up call, especially in Wisconsin, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Arizona, where the announced results had little to do with the legal votes.

So when a Congressional candidate goes to D.C. and stands up for legitimate elections, the Democrats--naturally--go on the attack.  They are aided by the Washington Examiner, an Establishment outfit masquerading as a newspaper.

...Van Orden, a Republican candidate in Wisconsin’s 3rd Congressional District, says he was in Washington as Trump and his supporters tried to overturn the then-president's 2020 loss to Biden. The efforts, which resulted in charges against more than 700 people, were a bid to stop the Electoral College's counting procedures that made Biden the next president....

 ...Critics contend Van Orden was on the Capitol grounds, a claim bolstered by photographs of him in a restricted area of Capitol grounds during the riot....

Three "critics" were mentioned:  some (D) State Rep., a Democrat Party operative and the Daily BeastWow.

...Van Orden initially acknowledged attending a “Stop the Steal” rally in Washington on Jan. 6, but claimed he did not enter the Capitol grounds on the day a mob stormed the building, delaying certification of the 2020 election results for several hours.

The Daily Beast reported that Van Orden also used leftover funds from his failed campaign for his travel to Washington for the day’s events, in possible violation of Federal Election Commission regulations....

It's also "possible" that Bai-Den got 81 million votes.

Apparently Van Orden did wander onto the grounds--there's a picture.  But unlike several hundred others, the FBI is not chasing him to ground, nor has he been imprisoned in Nancy Pelosi's personal Lubyanka--yet.

Our judgment:  irrelevant to the election.

Kenosha DA Posts Photos of Rioters

This is interesting.  And somewhat curious timing, too.

The Kenosha District Attorney released photos of BLM looters from the 2020 riots. Black Lives Matter and Antifa terrorists burned down the city business district causing millions in damage....

So eighteen months after the riots the DA releases pix hoping that the rioters will be ID'd and he can prosecute.

Isn't there an election coming in November?

Asking for a friend.

Strictly Co-Incidence. Nothing to See Here

Denninger posts a very.........interesting......chart of "all-cause" deaths in the USA for the 25-44 age bracket.

It's marked very well.

Immediately after people were threatened with job-loss if they did NOT comply and take the Vaxx, "all-cause deaths" rose.  Sharply.

Almost makes the case for manslaughter, eh?

GoFundMe Suddenly Offers Automatic Refunds on Truckers

Early on, a fund meant to support the Canadian truckers was established at GoFundMe.  It collected about $8 million (USD).

Then GoFundMe announced that the truckers were 'terrorists' and that GoFundMe would take the $8 million and award it to 'other charities.'

Since that represented outright theft in the minds of many, GoFundMe also offered to refund one's gift if one filled out a special form before February 19th.

But that "theft" word kept coming up.  Hmmmmm.

NOW GoFundMe will "automatically" refund all the gifts.

Threat of prison is a very good motivator, no?

CDC: Lying? Or "Distorting"?

There is a 'scientific' part of CDC, but you only hear from the Fascist part.

So when CDC emits a nauseatingly-gaseous 'warning' about little children getting Covid, you can bet it's not from the 'science' group.

...The CDC's portrayal of a severe pediatric COVID study led by one of its Atlanta-based researchers is "really misleading," a Stanford Medical School professor told Just the News.

Before COVID vaccines were "approved for most children, nearly 1 in 3 of 2,200+ children hospitalized w/ COVID-19 were admitted to the ICU or put on a ventilator," the agency tweeted Jan. 31, recommending vaccines for children 5 and up and boosters for 12 and up....

Conveniently, most of the study quoted by the Fascist part of CDC is behind a paywall.  But some foks went there anyway.

...The CDC's tweet drew immediate criticism on Twitter for mischaracterizing the study, which is about a hospitalized subset with "extremely high existing risk ratios," according to Matt Shapiro, an occasional writer for National Review. The biggest COVID risk factors it identified included chronic lung disease, neurological disorders and "airway abnormality."...

IOW, those children were comparable to adults with high blood pressure, COPD, or severe overweight issues:  they were in grave risk even without Covid.

 ...The CDC's tweet falsely leads parents to think "1/3rd of all kids who get COVID before the vax ... will be hospitalized and have severe disease," he wrote in an email. "The randomized trials in kids did not establish that vax prevents severe disease in children. The CDC’s assertion that it does is not based on the randomized trial evidence."...

IIRC, the CDC's referenced "study" was quoted by a Froedtert pediatrician yesterday on WISN--and that pediatrician did NOT mention the criticism from a Stanford prof.  Surprised?

So is it "lying" or is it "distortion"?

You know the answer.

Trump v. Pence

No question that Mike Pence is an Establishment shill who's handy with Bible quotes for every occasion.

And there's no question--reading the actual Constitution--that as VP, he had the authority to DELAY certification by sending contested delegate-slates back to States for review.  Note that the MSM twists this by using the term "overturn" rather than what it actually is--a delay which COULD result in an overturn.

Trump said so, supported by Eastland, a con-law scholar.  Jay Weber disagrees with Eastland.  Weber is not alone.  On the other hand.....

...Lawmakers are trying to change the Electoral Count Act to clarify the language, but Trump claimed in his statement 'that’s why the Democrats and RINOs [Republicans in Name Only] are working feverishly together to change the very law that Mike Pence and his unwitting advisors used on January 6 to say he had no choice.'  

'The reason they want it changed is because they now say they don’t want the Vice President to have the right to ensure an honest vote,' [Trump] said.  ...

Pence's entire objective for all four years was to find a way to remove Trump.  He got his way.

Can't wait to see his fund-raising numbers (and sources) as he attempts to run for President.


Tammy-Dearest: "Dump Filibuster!!"

Little Tammy--another far-Left Wisconsin pol with a grave disorder--has flipped on the filibuster.

Used to be that Tammy wanted a filibuster, so long as it was a 'talking' one.

Now?

Well, the Democrats don't own the Senate--so it's time for the filibuster to go.  Out.  Done.  Finis.

Naturally, the "fact-checker" says that's not really a flip.

And only 36% of the public believes Poynter fact-checkers. 

Truck You!

Another True Fact.

Lotsa Dropping Dead Going On in '21

People are paying attention to the surge in deaths AFTER The Vaxx got into circulation.

...On Tuesday, financial insurance company Unum reported that their Life segment saw an increase of 9% in their ratio of payouts vs. premiums (Benefit ratio), a 17.4% increase in 2021 vs. 2020 despite widespread vaccinations, and a 13.3% increase over 2019....

 ...Dowd noted that funeral home company Carriage Services saw a 28% increase in September 2021 vs. 2020, and a 13% increase in August vs. the same period. Funerals and cremations are up 12% and 13% respectively on the quarter....

 ...Lincoln National's death claims are up 13.7% y/y, and up 57% in Q4 vs. 2019. CFO Randy Frietag explained on Thursday that in 2021, the share of young people dying from Covid doubled in the second half of the year....

Looks like shorting insurers and going long on caskets is a play.

But it has nothing....NOTHING......to do with The Vaxx.  Pure coincidence.

Politico Gets THIS Right

Since Politico leans (topples?) Left, this litany is surprising.  The only question is 'How much did Politico soften up the numbers?'

But it's an indicator, anyway.  Surber brings it to our attention:

"...the lingering impact of Covid-19 is measured not just in the level of physical and mental suffering inflicted but by the serious erosion of trust in and use of U.S. institutions."

The story said, "Children are leaving public schools to attend private ones. School enrollment is down. Teachers are looking to leave their profession. So too are nurses. Trust in the healthcare system is declining as is trust in our federal healthcare authorities. Data collected during the pandemic showed that one-in-three practicing Christians dropped out of church completely. People are canceling their news subscriptions, and not just as a cost-saving measure. In one Nieman lab survey, 30% of respondents said they did so due to ideology or politics. Data kept by Morning Consult shows that trust in Congress is at new tracking lows; that only 47% of the population has faith in the U.S. electoral system; and that confidence in the Supreme Court went from 62% at the start of Biden’s presidency to 52% now."

I believe we mentioned the REAL "Healthcare Crisis" earlier this morning.  Happy to note that Politico agrees. 

The S**t Has Hit the Fan.

Another Loony-Tunes Biden* Nominee

What's surprising is that there are so damn many loony-tune people out there for Bai-Den to nominate.

This one "thinks" that the oil-and-gas industry should have been bankrupted by Fed policy.

Maybe that "thinker" should enjoy a few years without the benefit of any oil or gas at her home.  Naturally, that includes electricity generated by nat gas....

(It's another Sen. Kennedy video.  Watch it!!)

Twit Pocan "Forgets" Meaningful Numbers

Pocan--another Madison extreme-Lefty with a grave disorder--is happy to report some numbers, but not other numbers.

"Wondering why gas prices are high? Before you blame the president, take a look at Exxon’s $9B fourth quarter profit. Price gouging is okay when it’s making your shareholders even richer, right? Gimme a break"...
Yes, Exxon reported $8.9 billion in profits 4Q.

What else?

Exxon also spent $5.8 billion in capital expenditures and exploration in that quarter.

Exxon also paid off $20 billion in pandemic-related debt.

Exxon--due to its capital expenditures--will hit its 2025 emission-reduction goal four years ahead of schedule.

Exxon  "aims to achieve net zero Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions for operated assets by 2050, with plans to achieve net zero in the Permian Basin by 2030."

Not likely that little Mark Lefty's print shop will ever achieve gas-emission net-zero.  That's because little Mark Lefty opens his mouth and yuuuuuuuge gaseous emissions follow.


Motley: Not a Serious Lawyer

Kim Motley shows all the signs of being a publicity whore.

That's a problem because it's now clear that she's not a serious lawyer.

Attorneys representing 68 plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the city of Wauwatosa, its mayor, former police chief and several other defendants have less than two weeks to amend the complaint if they want to move forward with the lawsuit....

The lawsuit claims the October 2020 citywide curfew violated the plaintiffs' constitutional rights and violated other federal laws. 

Judge Nancy Joseph of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin decided to dismiss 15 of the 16 claims in the lawsuit without prejudice...

The judge argued that some of the claims brought up in the lawsuit were brought about by plaintiffs that were neither "seized nor even present at the October protests."

Oh.  Whoops!!

Serious lawyers understand "standing" (like it or not.)  Motley and her colleagues are in "frivolous lawsuit" territory here when they sue on behalf of people who could have been in Denver at the time of the alleged offenses in Wauwatosa.

Need more?  Motley gives it to you!!

...Motley didn't indicate whether she planned to amend the complaint before Feb. 14.

"I respect the judge's order, and we are definitely taking that under advisement as we look to see what our posturing will be moving forward," Motley said. ...

Looks like someone's getting the Hell out of Dodge.  And using the word "posturing" was......infelicitous.

Show horse?  Lawyer?  You be the judge.  (See what I did there?)


WI Medical Society Keeps Digging

Remember the warning about finding yourself in a hole......stop digging?

The Medical Society of Wisconsin hasn't learned that lesson yet.  So their shovels are going full speed.

Doctors and hospital leaders are pushing back against a Republican legislative effort aimed at barring health care providers from withholding unproven treatments for COVID-19. 

A package of three bills released Wednesday would prevent health systems and medical credentialing boards from disciplining doctors for ordering or advocating for therapies or medicine for patients that go against medical opinions held by their employers or regulators.

The proposals also would force pharmacists to fill all prescriptions ordered by doctors except in rare circumstances. ...

Frankly, the Medicine Industry has embarrassed itself with Ivermectin, which has been proven to be an excellent prophylactic.  The Medicine Industry also bought the various lines about masks (none?  one?  two?? and now--finally--useless), "social distancing" (the result of a high-school project with zero "science" involved), and they still push mRNA treatments which have serious and frequent side-effects, including dead bodies attached.  And let's not forget how following-the-leader led to firing hospital staff by the hundreds, resulting in short-staffing, resulting in RN burnout, resulting in reduced beds available......yah.  That worked well!

In sum:  the doctors decided to follow the lead of Fraudci, rather than act like doctors.  Fraudci, who has NEVER practiced medicine on patients! 

They're sheep, they know it, and they're going to Keep.  On.  Digging.

Smart enough to get through med school.  Not smart enough to recognize a hole.

GM To Produce Lots of New Cars Soon

That's what GM says, anyway.

General Motors expects to boost global volumes by 25% to 30% this year as it bulks up production of smaller, more affordable crossovers and sedans that could not be built previously due to missing chips

Despite consensus among analysts that the semiconductor pipeline remains fragile, executives from the Detroit manufacturer say the crisis appears to be over. Supply remains constrained, yet it continues to steadily improve since the third quarter.

“The run rate that we’ve seen sequentially from 3Q to 4Q to 1Q is giving a heightened level of confidence,” finance chief Paul Jacobson told investors during an earnings call on Tuesday. “We expect ongoing semiconductor availability improvements throughout 2022.”...

They also completed about 80K vehicles that were near-finished by putting chips into them.  You could have seen hundreds (thousands?) of un-finished Chevy Traverse/Buick Enclave models outside of the Lansing, MI plant in the last few weeks.

If GM plans on ramping up production, so do Ford, Stellantis (Chrysler), and the non-US guys.  That's good news, of course; you'll be able to buy new ones which will take a LOT of pressure off the used-car markets.  Prices should go down, although the influence of Bai-Den is an "X" factor. 

Fracking Killing Old Folks? Nope.

Briggs does statistics and enjoys ripping "studies" which manufacture results using totally fake stats.

If you haven't heard it yet, you will:  Old people are dying because they live near fracking sites.

...You’d also think claims like “fracking natural gas kills people” would be based on measuring the cause, in this case measuring fracking natural gas exposure or, rather, intake. But you’d be wrong. Neither natural gas exposure or intake in the study I’m about to describe was measured. At all.

Yet the researchers still claimed that natural gas killed old people....

As it turns out, they're making it up. They pretend that X is the same as Y.

...The paper is constructed from the Epidemiologist Fallacy. They want to say X (natural gas) causes Y (death in the elderly) but they can’t measure actual exposure to natural gas or its effluvia.

So what do they do?

Like many before them, they use exposure to zip codes: “For each beneficiary’s ZIP code of residence and year in the cohort, we calculated a proximity-based and a downwind-based pollutant exposure.”...

So what?  Because in this "study" the following is the axiom:

 ...Address is taken to be exposure/intake....

IOW, they did not strip out variables except for ZIP Code, which became the proxy for 'exposure.'

...Now it is not impossible that somebody sniffing natural gas fumes will live a shorter life next to somebody who breathes only pristine air. But there must be some great uncertainty in measuring the distance from a gas source and saying that distance is exposure or intake, even if intake does in fact lead to shorter lives....

How is that uncertainty accounted for?

It's not, really, at all.  But there is a model!!!

... they had to use a model, the output of which was a “hazard ratio”, which is a multiplicative effect to the chance of dying right now, at this moment. The lowest “exposure” had a HR of about 1.01. The highest “exposure” had an HR of just over 1.02, which rose to almost 1.03 in the downwind category (see their Table 4; supplementary Table 2). But these differences, because of the massive size of the data, gave them wee p-values to wave around.

All this means the effect, even if genuine, is tiny. Before accounting for the uncertainty in the proxy as cause (and the over-certainty in this parametric and not predictive analysis). Once we do that, and recognize that in the raw data there was no signal at all, we must conclude that THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE HERE....

No doubt some Green-ified friend of yours--or the local yokel who reads the news--will gravely announce that your Grandma in ZIP Code XX5YY is going to die really soon because .....gas.

You'll know what to say!!  Thank me later.

Anent Local Pravda

 Found this nugget to be relevant.  The local branch of PedoPapersUSA, herein called "Pravda" but on its masthead "Journal-Sentinel" is a major contributor to this figure.

..."Americans' trust in the media to report the news fully, accurately and fairly has edged down four percentage points since last year to 36%, making this year's reading the second lowest in Gallup's trend."...

That was last October.

Think it's still that high?

DoD Wins Worst Database of the Decade!!

After Thomas Renz exposed the horrific increases in maladies--following administration of The Vaxx to members of the Armed Forces, the DoD's stats-keeper had an explanation.

'The database was wrong.'

Officials compared numbers in the DMED with source data in the DMSS and found that the total number of medical diagnoses from those years “represented only a small fraction of actual medical diagnoses.” The 2021 numbers, however, were up-to-date, giving the “appearance of significant increased occurrence of all medical diagnoses in 2021 because of the underreported data for 2016-2020,” Graves said.

The DMED system has been taken offline to “identify and correct the root-cause of the data corruption,” Graves said.--quoted at Politifact.

Oh.  Of course.

Commentary from Horowitz:

 This should be “an earth shattering national security story,” Horowitz noted on his Conservative Review podcast Tuesday. “A system that was designed to be monitored day to day by DHA officials for five straight years … was completely corrupted.”

He added: “For five years straight it was corrupted, and then starting in 2021, it fixed itself on its own and they didn’t know about it until Thomas Renz brought it up.”

Kinda like Democrat-run voter lists.  Coincidence??

Biden* Braggadocio

Realizing that he's viewed as a total buffoon both in the US and abroad, Biden* found one terrorist that needed killing, and "directed" the Pentagon to kill him.

During his speech, he mentioned "thousands of women and girls sold into slavery."

Just like what's happening on Biden*'s border invasion!

Yah, Joe.  Keep it up.

Yes, we know that he's going to End Cancer.  We wrote that down.

Oh, Canada

A couple snatched from PowerLine's mid-week special edition.

 

 

Kinziger the Ignorant

There are quite a few things that one can say about outgoing Congress-slime Adam Kinzinger.

"Ignorant" now joins the list.  I don't mean that he's not aware of salient facts (that is likely).  I mean that this bozo cannot SPELL.

I hate to be so personal, but Hawley is one of the worst human beings, and a self egrandizing con artist. When Trump goes down I certainly hope this evil will be layed in the open for all to see, and be ashamed of.

 Yes, he also ended that with a preposition.

I'd say that Congressional Standards have fallen, but that would be a lie.

Surge in Deaths Follows Vax

They're saying its 'Covid,' of course.

...Dutch insurer Aegon, which does two-thirds of its business in the United States, said its claims in the Americas in the third quarter were $111 million, up from $31 million a year earlier. U.S. insurers MetLife and Prudential Financial also said life insurance claims rose. South Africa’s Old Mutual used up more of its pandemic provisions to pay claims and reinsurer Munich Re raised its 2021 estimate of COVID-19 life and health claims to 600 million euros from 400 million....

Hmmmm.  These are 2021 payouts, not 2020.

What happened early in 2021?  

The Vaxx happened, that's what.

Pence Quotes Scripture, Just Like Satan Does

Below is a post which mentions Mike Pence unfavorably.

That's nothing compared to this item.  Here are a couple of samples:

...Mike Pence was never a Trump loyalist. He’s a GOP establishment loyalist. There were plenty of problems inside the Trump Administration, and Vice President Mike Pence was at the center of many of those problems. In fact, it’s always been obvious that Pence and his staff were deeply involved in trying to remove President Trump from office....

The post then gives a damning brief on four of Pence's people.  And yes, it's damning.

Following that.....

...Why did Pence and his staff spend four years hobbling the Trump Administration? Why can’t people believe that the GOP would try to impeach Trump to clear the way for Pence? Most Republican voters have never met the big GOP donors — and have no idea what they do with their money. The big donors wanted a Mike Pence/Nikki Haley ticket in 2024. They don't really care what GOP voters want, and they never have. These are the people who pushed Jeb in 2016. And Paul Ryan before that. And Dan Quayle before that....

That's quite a list of "prestigious" Overlord-Class creatures.

 ...Pence was added to the Trump ticket to restrain Trump's populism — and that’s what he tried to do for four years. When pro-Trump aides were sidelined in the Trump White House, I heard the same thing from all of them: they were told to sit down and shut up and, if they were quiet, they might get to work for Pence and Haley in 2024....

Or they might not.  Pence is trying to get his campaign off the ground, and Haley has been busy on the same for the last year-plus.

How's the rotten apple supply near you??  They're great for throwing at crap wearing pretty suits and quoting Scripture.

WEC Raising Finger to Legislature

Belling mentioned this yesterday and it's been around the news today.

The Wisconsin Elections Commission Democrat-Electing Machine is poised to set out new rules which contradict Wisconsin law, allowing local clerks to "cure" ballots which have wrong addresses.  It is rumored that the WEC will also promulgate a rule expressly allowing "drop-boxes"--which are NOT allowed under Wisconsin law and are the subject of a Supreme Court case at this time.

OK, fine, you say.  They make rules.  So?

Not so fast, pal.

Under Wisconsin law, agencies (like WEC) MUST submit proposed rules to a specific Legislative committee which has the authority to invalidate the rule.  IOW, elected representatives can (and should) over-rule the Administrative State.

Hmmmmmm.

So what does WEC do?  They refuse (so far) to send the proposal(s) past the Legislative committee; they'll simply promulgate the rules.  Then clerks in Dane, Milwaukee, Brown, Kenosha, Racine, and Green Bay will .......ahhh...........do whatever they usually do with the elections.  Can you spell "INSURRECTION"--which is the case here?

The Legislature is threatening a lawsuit.  Oh, my.  A lawsuit.

Why waste time?  Just put the WEC into jail, like the other "insurrectionists" in D.C.  I'm sure Wisconsin has a comparable hell-hole someplace.

State Department: Branch of Deep State

You'll be shocked, SHOCKED!!!, I say.

In an email kept from public view for more than five years, a top U.S. State Department official in Kiev wrote to Washington superiors at the end of the Obama-Biden administration that Hunter Biden's business dealings in Ukraine "undercut" U.S. efforts to fight corruption in the former Soviet republic....

Yah, well, what's the surprise there?  Read on for the real problem.

 ...Contrary to federal law, the State Department failed to acknowledge the existence of the document to the court or to Just the News in its multiple Freedom of Information Act lawsuits against the State Department seeking records on Hunter and Joe Biden's dealings in Ukraine.

Most importantly, the email's stark message directly conflicts with the narrative the mainstream media, State Department witnesses and Democratic congressmen gave the public two years ago, when they insisted Hunter Biden's lucrative job with the allegedly corrupt Ukrainian gas company Burisma Holdings — while creating the appearance of a conflict of interest — had no impact on U.S. efforts to fight corruption in that country....

The more we learn, the more we think that D.C. should be bulldozed into the ocean.

Pritzker Funds Cop-Attacker

How very nice of Gov. Pritzker (D-FIB)

Illinois Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker channeled $300,000 in federal COVID-19 relief funds to the Black Lives Matter branch of Lake County.

The branch of the organization is run by Clyde McLemore who opened an office across the street from the Lake County Courthouse...

Unfortunately, BLM is already being evicted.

But that's the least of the problems here.

 ...in early 2021, McLemore, 63, was arrested in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and charge with felony battery of a police officer and disorderly conduct after he allegedly kicked a door at the city's courthouse and threatening violence toward a Kenosha police officer.

Lake County records reportedly indicate McLemore has been charged before with criminal felony battery and pleaded guilty. ...

This story fits right in with the story of  Frank Sensabaugh--another BLM activist--who is credibly accused of rape by FOUR women.

This Is a "Pro-Union" Plan?

Following the great Democrat Party Tradition of lying about what legislation REALLY does, Alex Lasry released a "pro-Union" tax plan.

Sure.

...The document calls for the renewal of several tax deductions that were eliminated during the 2017 tax overhaul under then-President Donald Trump.

Lasry pressed to make union dues deductible, restore home office deductions for employees and allow contract workers to itemize deductions on gas mileage, work clothes, lodging and dining....

Umnnnhhh.....union labor doesn't use 'home offices,' nor do they get 1099's for 'contract work.'

Then there's the standard Democrat Welfare Spend:

...an extension of the child tax credit, extending paid family and medical leave...

And there's FREE TECH SCHOOL!!!  (Tech school faculties are rabid Democrat supporters.)

Then there's the "PRO Act" act--which supports Union Bosses, not rank-and-file.

Lasry, the Silver Spoon Candidate (like Herbie Kohl, except married!!!) is the likely nominee.  Can he win with transparently deceptive promises like this one?

Stay tuned!

The Brewers Gonna Hit You Again

We mentioned this a decade ago.  Tommy Thompson (et al) "negotiated" taxpayer support for the Brewers' ballpark.  That is to say, taxpayers paid a helluvalot of money to help Bud Selig increase his cap-gains on the team.

We also mentioned that the deal was never-ending; taxpayers are on the hook for "improvements."  So if you liked paying sales-tax to help out Brewers' owners, you're going to LOVE this story!!

What "improvements"?

...Schlesinger told board members the Brewers want to stay in Milwaukee through at least 2040. He also said the club doesn't need a new ballpark.

The team, however, does want a ballpark that "is suitable for the next generation," he said.

Schlesinger didn't elaborate on what a next generation ballpark would include.

But, he said, the stadium district's obligations under the lease include changes tied to the evolving standards of other Major League Baseball stadiums....

They have $87 million in reserve.  Shouldn't take them too long to blow that on "evolving standards" for MLB stadiums, should it?

Ooooh!! Computer Models Kill Off the Birkie!!

The local branch office of PedoPaperUSA is picking up the new Democrat-campaign theme:  Green Weenie.

(What did you expect?  Campaigning on Spectacular Price Increases?  Campaigning on the Murder and Mayhem Increase?  Or Empty Grocery Shelves?)

Fortunately, you don't have to read much of it!  Only a few grafs in, and "computer models" shows up in the text.  So you know exactly how they determined that the Birkie is near its death and how Rhinelander will be sporting palm-trees.

Yup.  It's gonna happen.  Just you watch.  20, 40, 60 years out?  Yup.  No doubt!!

BozoBiden to Cure Cancer, Too!!!

Biden*, who doesn't know if it's Tuesday or July, wants to cure cancer.

President Joe Biden wants to halve the age-adjusted cancer death rate over the next 25 years and improve the lives of patients, survivors, and their families through a rebooted White House cancer moonshot project, an effort he first launched as vice president....

Why not cure cancer?  His track record on the border, military maneuvers in Afghanistan, Marxist nominees for Federal positions, and the supply-chain speaks for itself.

So he needs something which--if it ever works--is about 25-30 years out.  Something on which he cannot be judged A Failure, Again.

How Trump-y Was Trump?

A new perspective on the Covidian Cult's beginnings is offered by Dr. Scott Atlas.  There's a reason that you don't hear much about the book from such as Bannon and Navarro, nor even the Chubby Chipmunk occupying the FoxNews slot following Tucker.

Atlas really lays it out in lavender.  The review is here.  A couple of bits:

...Former Vice President Mike Pence should never, ever, never, ever, never hold public office anywhere free again. A do-gooder spewer of Bible verses as clichés, but with no discernment and even less courage. He hung the country/truth out to dry so he could play Grover Dill to Birx's Scott Farkus....

We already knew about Pence's well-polished facade which surrounds a very empty vessel.

The MSM gets its just desserts....

  ...media really is the “enemy of the people.” This is the one prophetic thing Trump said as president and the most prophetic thing any president has said since Reagan called the Soviets "the evil empire." There's prison soap scum, rusted homeless sidewalk poop in San Francisco, and then there's them....

( Just ask Ron Johnson!)

As to Trump, Dr. Atlas confirms my impression:

...He's portrayed as a political prisoner by the very staff he surrounded himself with. His basic instincts were often right, but his craven instinct to hire based on anything other than sincere conviction made him Caesar and too much of the White House staff Brutus.

Trump's staff really thought they were going to win the election without truly confronting the heart of the matter and then could just clean it all up after the fact. Throughout the book they repeat "don't rock the boat" as some kind of magic incantation or pagan mantra. They became slaves to the very enemy media they claimed their boss had defeated, and then Trump neutered himself by following their lead. Never once in the book does Trump pre-emptively overrule his staff, but he just delegates all serious responsibility to total hacks....

Now you know why Navarro never really talks about this book.  Yes, it was all about re-election; they thought they could take Covid off the table and win.  Instead, they put Covid front-and-center with the daily pressers, the (Mengele-like) Fauci and the 'loony' Birx--and with the help of massive election fraud in six States, they lost the gamble.

In the end, Trump lost his Trump-ness--or rather, gave it away to the campaign- and political-types.

Too bad.

In Canada, Things Get More Interesting

Heh.

Don't get tunnel-vision over what's happening with the Canadian (and US) truckers in Ottawa.  They're just blockading their capitol.

In Alberta, they're blockading the border, preventing shipment of goods in either direction.

So the Canadian unter-Fuhrers called for tow trucks to clear the highway.

The response from the tow companies?

"Truck You!!"

It's Not a "Great Resignation"

The MSM has been flogging 'the great resignation' recently.

It's not what they'd like you to believe.  In fact, it's exactly what the trend points to.

...the level of quits is not actually above where we would expect it to be without the pandemic. Between 2010 and 2019, the level of quits increased on average 7.3 percent each year, some years higher and some years lower. If that average had held in 2020 and 2021, we would have had 48.5 million quits this year [instead of 47.4 actual].
So what's going on?

Simple.  People are taking better jobs.  Employers no longer 'own' the market as they had for the decade following the '08 recession.  There are more jobs available.

This also means that employers who run sweatshops, or who disrespect their employees, are going to have a lot of problems.  Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch, eh?

"Anti-China" Bill? Nope. Anti-American

There's a new bill in the House which is called "Anti-China."

But since it's a Democrat bill, it's actually Anti-American.

The House’s pending anti-China bill offers Chinese, Indian, and other foreign graduates easy access to mainstream white collar jobs needed by striving U.S. college graduates.

“This is a lobotomy for the American middle class, for the professional classes in America, because they’re going to be muscled out in the workplace by [foreign] people who are the preferred hires of corporations and university research universities,” Kevin Lynn, founder of U.S. Tech Workers, told Breitbart News.

The draft “America COMPETES Act of 2022” would allow foreigners to win an uncapped number of green cards by studying to become ordinary chemists, doctors, engineers, and statisticians — or accountants, tax experts, computer security experts, statisticians, ecologists, and many other types of professionals....

As usual, Silicon Valley and the Chamber of Commerce are pushing this atrocity.

Why?

Cheap labor.  No different than their support of The Invasion at the Border.  Cheap labor.

Picture: Catastrophic Sea Rising!!

 You remember all the predictions that 'global warming/global cooling/global climate change' (whatever, dude) will raise the level of the oceans?

Yah, nope.
