There was an amazing confluence of events in Oakland, California, when uber-leftist Barbara "Call me Senator" Boxer, the former Senator from California whose departure paved the way for Kamala Harris, was mugged in a city that has led the way in defunding the police. Had the elderly Boxer been injured, I’d like to think I’m a decent enough person that I would have been shocked by what happened and felt for her. However, as she was not injured, I can only say that karma came a-knockin’ on her door and that literally being mugged by reality is, perhaps, a useful experience for a leftist.

Is it wrong that I'm rooting for the U.S. Women's National Team to lose, and humiliatingly so, this Olympics?
Of course it's not wrong. The USWNT, led by America's favorite histrionic Megan Rapinoe, protested against racism and discrimination by taking the knee before their first Olympic match. Though the stadium was empty (certainly nothing new to the USWNT), the attending "reporters" revived each other with smelling salts to swoon and gape at the unparalleled fortitude exhibited by these privileged virtue-signalers in what was dubbed a "social justice reckoning".

Last week, big media was salivating over the COVID Delta variant and recommendations for indoor masking, even for the vaccinated, masking young children, and the possibility of a return to last year, with social distancing, capacity limits, and business closures. (snip) somehow missed by the investigative sleuths at CNN and MSNBC was the recall of a COVID rapid antigen test last month. (snip) Even that bastion of right-wing propaganda, the New York Times, recognized last year the folly of PCR testing with a high cycle threshold

For many decades, the quadrennial Olympic games were grand moments of patriotism. (snip) Of late, though, our athletes are no longer amateurs; the Soviets are gone; we worship at the Chinese shrine; the Olympics are on every two years and broadcast 24/7, making for complete over-saturation; and too many of our Olympic athletes hate the country they’re representing. For that reason, those Americans who love their country the most have cared the least when Americans have fallen flat in Tokyo.

Americans are an easygoing lot. We let bygones be bygones. (snip) The left's control of the media, social media and government has allowed them to go after pretty much everything that is American, starting with every tenet of our Bill of Rights.
Freedom of religion, free speech, free press, freedom of assembly, and freedom to petition our government for grievances is all included in just the First Amendment. We are now told where and when we can worship

It’s already old news that an obnoxious leftist verbally assaulted Tucker Carlson, who was in a fly fishing shop in Montana. (snip) Now, though, some interesting information is emerging about the leftist yahoo, a guy named Dan Bailey, thanks to his having outed himself on his Instagram account. It turns out that Dan Bailey worked for an organization that was closely associated with the CIA. (snip) Things start getting interesting when you look at Bailey’s personal information.

In 2008, before he was president, Obama told his followers that, if they were in the company of independents or Republicans, “I want you to argue with them and get in their face.” A decade later, Rep. Maxine Waters (D. Stupidity), in defense of keeping an open border, exhorted her supporters that, if they saw someone from the Trump administration, “you get out and you create a crowd, and you push back on them, and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.” This is what leftists do – and it’s what some guy in a bait shop did when he caught sight of Tucker Carlson.

Alone among the advanced countries of the world, Sweden followed the sensible policy for dealing with a highly transmissible virus with a 99%+ survival rate, dangerous mostly to easily identifiable groups – the elderly and those with co-morbidities. It allowed the population at minimal risk to carry on life as usual, and restricted movements and otherwise protected only those at elevated risk. (snip) And now we see that Sweden’s approach (which, incidentally, is how all previous pandemics have been handled) has been vindicated. (snip) Data show the 7-day rolling average for COVID deaths yesterday was zero

Mark Twain is believed to have uttered this profundity about history, “History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes.” Are we catching a glimpse of COVID history beginning to rhyme with itself?
Today’s story is, “Veterinarian dies in China from rare monkey virus.” Substitute “ophthalmologist” for “veterinarian” and “bat” for “monkey” and see if you can hear the rhyme from early 2020.
A year and a half ago, in February 2020, shortly after President Trump banned travel to the US from China, we learned of this story: “Li Wenliang: Coronavirus kills Chinese whistleblower doctor.”

Are all those media items featuring Joe Biden eating ice cream not a diversion from the serious issues of the day but rather a coded warning?
Consider this explanation from the Alzheimer’s Association Caregiver Tips & Tools:
"Ice cream. It takes all of your worries away. (snip) And dementia (here is the best part!) allows one to fully enjoy the treat, with no concerns for calories, weight gain or dietary needs, completely guilt free! For people with dementia, ice cream is far more effective and safe than Prozac, or any other “happy” drug on the market!"

I admit I was worried last January. It really seemed as if the Left had taken it all and that nothing stood between them and their goals. The Supreme Court, Electoral College, HR-1, criminalization of firearms, rollback of immigration reforms, and all that just to start.
(snip) The Terror was about to begin. Prepare for the American Gulag.
But all the time, something kept telling me: they’re leftists -- they will screw it up.
What a difference six months makes. The race has not gone to the swift, nor the battle to the strong.
At this point, the American Left is in complete disarray.

Over two dozen people were killed during the Antifa and BLM protests in 2020. (snip) The New York Times has reported there have been twenty terrorist plots against the U.S. Three of those plots were real; the other 17 were created — and then stopped — by the FBI. (snip) The DC Metropolitan Police also had at least one undercover employee embedded within the pro-Trump crowd. This is not speculation. It is based on court records. It is preposterous to contend that the FBI did not have operatives in this disturbance
