I'm going to try to explain what's going on in America right now by drawing a connection between two news stories. On the surface, they don't seem to have much to do with each other, but when you really think about them, it's obvious that there's a common thread. The first story comes from way back in November of 2018, when President Trump complained about an "Obama judge" on the Ninth Circuit ruling against his asylum policy. Trump's comments angered Chief Justice John Roberts (snip) Now for the second (snip) YouTube's decision, about a week ago, to ban all content questioning the efficacy of COVID vaccines.

Excellent article. This explains in terms that even a halfway literate "progressive" should understand. I have come to realize that we have a reasonably large number of people in this country that are so invested in their own past beliefs that they would be too conflicted to admit this truth. The mainstream media caters to the opinion reinforcement needs of those people. Who are more mentally challenged, the ones who seek information and are willing to develop their own opinions or the ones who submit to accept the daily narrative of the elites?

Chief Justice John Roberts--the greatest gift George W. Bush could give to the democrats. We should have expecting something was wrong when the Senate confirmed his nomination by unanimous consent. Yep, the fix was in. Democrats only fight against conservative nominees.

I first noticed 60 years ago. I havent seen anything since to change my oinions on media, politicians, educators, rich elites or clergy. There are rare exceptions who have earned my trust. But my mindset on these classes is automatically, "they intend to harm me for their personal benefit."

It's easier for people to believe a lie than acknowledge that they've been lied to

Thanks to COVID, there's a long list of new additions to my "trust at your own peril" list: the CDC, FDA, most doctors, pharmaceutical companies, clinical trials, and hospitals to name a few. Anthony Fauci was already on it, thanks to his "everyone is at risk for AIDs" pronouncements in the 80s.

No, they don't. Nobody is listening. It is all lies. COVID-19 is a lie. Afghanistan is a lie. The southern border is a lie. No inflation is a lie. A $3.5 trillion dollar expenditure which will cost nothing is a lie. The CDC will protect us from disease is a lie. Joe Biden was elected is a lie. It is all lies, from beginning to end. And nobody is listening. And the Brown Shirts (the FBI) are coming for YOU. If you want to interfere in your child's education, that is.

This past week, Syukuro Manabe, Klaus Hasselmann, and Giorgio Parisi were awarded the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physics for research that led to early computer models of the Earth's climate. On the face of it, some people might think this is a grand achievement. In reality, unlike many Nobel-worthy accomplishments that are based on hard data or newly known processes, this one was simply a guess. Incredibly, we still don’t have an answer, more than 60 years later. (snip) the bottom line is climate models then and now still don’t provide a certain answer as to how much warming will occur

Is it really a surprise that a formal move toward police repression of its political opponents – siccing the FBI on critics of Critical Race Theory – is coming from the chief law enforcement officer of the Biden regime?

One of the more bizarre twists in the saga of the COVID pandemic has been doctors growing increasingly frustrated and even angry with patients asking for medical treatment rather than wholesale vaccination.

When Abraham Lincoln spoke the prophetic words "a house divided against itself cannot stand" — in a speech before the Illinois Republican state convention in 1858 — he was a relatively unknown politician. He saw the obvious: North and South were hopelessly divided over the issue of slavery — or more fundamentally, states' rights — and a breakup was all but all but unavoidable. This came to pass in just a few years' time in the form of the Civil War. Is America nearing a similar point in 2021?

Have we ever had a president who in mere months made so many dumb, intemperate decisions, thereby precipitating major crises? You’d think that the Afghanistan and border fiascos would suffice for one four-year term. But the smart money is that we haven’t seen the last of Biden-manufactured crises. Biden is a nightmare version of Pig-Pen of the Peanuts comic strip.. A perpetual cloud of incompetence, conceits, corruption, and shabby political motives swirls around him. (snip) As Niall Stanage of the Hill put it, “President Biden’s biggest vulnerability isn’t any single issue. It’s the risk that he could be seen as losing control of events.”

Of the many positions Kash Patel held during Trump’s presidency, his most important was as an aide to Devin Nunes when the latter worked doggedly to reveal that the Democrats’ Russiagate charges were a hoax coming from the Democrat party—specifically, from Hillary Clinton’s campaign. Given Patel’s insider’s knowledge of events, it means something when he appears on Maria Bartiromo’s Fox show on Sunday mornings and says that he believes that Special Prosecutor John Durham is on the verge of issuing some serious indictments against big players in the Russia hoax.

Biden insists that 97%-98% of the population must be vaccinated to end the COVID risk.

(snip) it looks as if the DNC embraced the virus and is doing its best to keep it circulating through society for purely political reasons. It was able to get Trump out of the White House, along with election fraud that was made easier because of panicked lockdowns. Now, the vaccine is the newest weapon in the DNC arsenal.

Divorce usually isn’t a good idea, and that’s especially true of a nearly 250-year-old continental nation. The notion of a national breakup has long simmered as a fringe argument, but it is increasingly popular in certain precincts of the political right and has gained at least some traction with partisans of both sides. A recent survey by the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia found that about 50 percent of Donald Trump voters and 40 percent of Joe Biden voters agreed to some extent with the proposition that the country should split up, with either red or blue states seceding.

New York City officials are phasing out the controversial “Gifted and Talented” program for elementary school students, a massive change aimed at addressing racial disparities in the biggest school system in the country. The entry exam identifying students as “gifted” will be eliminated, officials said Friday. Under the old status quo, about 2,500 incoming kindergarteners per year passed the optional exam, going on to spend their elementary school years in separate classrooms and schools.(Snip)The overhaul of the gifted program comes after years of debate and criticism—much of it focused on the fact that white and Asian students made up around 80% of gifted classes despite representing

Another victim (whose age I have not been able to determine) was hospitalized and then released. Finally, a 15-year-old is still in the hospital in critical condition.
