Tchaikovsky's Music Canceled After Someone

The capacity for stupid, pointless, gestures by liberals demonstrating that they “stand up for Ukraine” or “speak truth to Putin” has gotten to the point where even my Pepto-Bismal can’t keep me from retching up my lunch. Indeed, the “protests” are more a statement of solidarity than anything meaningful. But what makes me sick to my stomach is that the Western protesters can’t imagine they’re taking this protest against Putin beyond reason so that the ludicrous lengths to which they are going to signal their virtue might appear very odd and disturbing to ordinary people. Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s music may be timeless, inspiring, and a joy to listen to,

Everything and everyone Russian ( dead or alive ) = bad .So, if something happens with China are all the Chinese restaurants in the world and especially the USA going to be closed ? What about everything that's imported from China? That's a lot of bare shelves.

This stupid controversy is reminiscent of the politicized Arizona boycotts of a few years ago. A group of idiots called for boycotting the Arizona brand of flavored and regular teas. But then someone went to the trouble of reading the label which revealed that Arizona brand teas are just named for Arizona but brewed and headquartered in New York, Nice try. As a classically trained pianist from age 5, I grew to love all great music, and Russian composers have written more than their share of great music. Tchaikovsky's music is some of the most accessible for listeners of all ages. Everyone's heard the Nutcracker Suite, but for something more magnificent, listen to Pyotr Ilyich's 1st Piano Concerto, chosen by American Van Cliburn in the First International Tchaikovsky Competition in 1958. Cliburn, also playing Rachmaninoff's nearly impossible 3rd Piano Concerto, won that competition after the Soviet audience gave him a ten minute standing ovation for his 50 minute performance, and the judges were in a quandary. Premier Khrushchev said, "Did he play the best? Then give him the prize!" He got the prize then embarked on a long career playing all over the world. In my queue of music to be played today are works by Prokofiev, Stravinsky, and Scriabin. What's good is good.

Hunter Biden’s laptop repairman spoke out recently on damages he’s suffered since the days leading up to the 2020 election, including harassment and financial ruin. John Paul Mac Isaac was forced to close his shop in Wilmington, DE, and flee to reside with his family in Lakewood, CO just days after the election, he told the New York Post. “I was getting a lot of death threats,” Mac Isaac reported. “I had to have a Wilmington trooper parked in front of my shop all the time.” Mac Isaac was under severe scrutiny for alerting the FBI that he was in possession of Biden’s laptop since April 2019

A day after the Florida Senate triggered leftists by passing the Parental Rights in Education bill, the members of the Florida House followed suit by passing their own triggering bill. Passed in the House on Wednesday, S.B. 524 will create a “15-person Office of Election Crimes and Security within the Department of State” to essentially serve as an election police unit, according to Florida Politics. The new office will reportedly investigate voter fraud complaints, increase “the penalties on organizations that violate election registration laws from $1,000 to $50,000” and ask “supervisors of elections to maintain voter roll lists annually instead of every two years.”

President Joe Biden recently received the honor of having an extinct type of squid named after him. Paleontologists have long discovered various prehistoric remains in Montana. Usually, dinosaur bones get the limelight, but the truth is all manner of creatures are discovered in the Treasure State, which has been underwater at various points in its history. One such sea creature was unearthed in the Bear Gulch limestone formation in 1988, and from there was donated to Canada’s Royal Ontario Museum, apparently without anyone taking a second glance at it.

Biden Will Extend Mask Mandate on Planes

With most of the rest of the planet eliminating the indoor mask requirement, why is the Biden administration extending the mandate to wear masks on airplanes and trains until April 18? There’s stupid. There’s silly. And then there’s the federal government’s mask requirement on public transit. Masks have contributed in no small way to the spike in “unruly” passenger complaints from airlines. It’s usually started by some busybody who claims someone isn’t wearing their mask correctly or took it off. What follows usually isn’t very pretty. Why is this even an issue after the CDC said that cloth masks are not effective in stopping the spread of the coronavirus?

"Well, you all imagined it," Vice President Kamala Harris commented during a so-called clean-transit event, where she appeared with her fellow tautologist, Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg. "That's why we're here today -- because we have the ability to see what can be, unburdened by what has been, and then to make the possible actually happen." When Harris and Transportation Secretary Pete get together, it's Platitudicon. As it was this week, when, as the reality of imminent historic gas price spikes was hitting Americans, the duo spent the day promoting electric cars, the Green New Deal and the Environmental Protection Agency's soon-to-be-tightened emissions standards.

Yes, it's satisfactory until you think about what she said. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is truly the best team player you could ask for in these situations. You can't polish a tyrd, but she'll try. She might even try to add a coat of turtle wax to it. The tyrd is Joe Biden and his agenda, which has set the Democrats on fire for the 2022 midterms. There's no relief in sight. There is no Build Back Better. It's dead. The filibuster isn't changing. The Democrats' bill that would tilt all elections in their favor, which is disguised as a "voting rights" bill, is dead as well.

Tom Bevan at RealClearPolitics shared on Twitter a local horror story from the Chicago area. His fifth grader came home from school with a vocabulary assignment in science class. The words included "transgender," cisgender," "nonbinary" and "consent." The last word carries the most irony -- because the educational elite in this country isn't interested in the consent of the governed. Resistance to LGBT indoctrination in our public grade schools is not recognized as part of a democratic, governing process. Just like the cause of critical race theory, the parents are not simply irrelevant; they are seen as an impediment to essential progress. The other words sound ridiculous in a science class.

Diesel Soars to Record High, Impacting
3.5 Million American Truckers

The national average price for diesel fuel on Wednesday reached an all-time record high, impacting 3.5 million American truckers throughout the nation. Rising 84 cents in one week, Wednesday’s national average hit $4.883, up 13 cents overnight, according to AAA. Diesel transports about 70 percent of the nation’s freight tonnage, as just about all highway trucks are fueled by diesel engines, according to Diesel Technology Forum. About 3.5 million truck drivers and 711,000 trucking companies rely on diesel. The record-high diesel prices will likely increase the cost of everyday products, such as clothing, produce, paper products, building materials, and vehicles. The impact on everyday items will also increase the record-high inflation.

CNN continues to undergo massive changes coinciding with AT&T’s corporate handoff to new owner Discovery and the ouster of former company president Jeff Zucker. Zucker left, Chris Cuomo left, and sundry employees did the same as disgusting allegations of pedophilia came to light. Ratings have been in a freefall ever since Brandon was inaugurated and over-the-top, fake news about Donald Trump couldn’t be manufactured for its unthinking viewership anymore. Covid panic porn has likewise lost its luster. So, in a battle for survival, the “news” network’s owners are realizing that simply making up hysteria after hysteria might not be a viable long-term plan.

Jussie Smollett, who faked a hate crime against himself in Chicago, was sentenced Thursday. Smollett was found guilty back in December, after he conspired with two men to make it seem as if Trump supporters had attacked him and tied a noose around his neck at 2:00 AM, in the middle of a polar vortex. While he received an initial outpouring of support, including from Vice President Kamala Harris, it quickly became apparent that his story wasn’t adding up. Why was he out after midnight getting a sandwich in sub-zero temperatures? Why didn’t he call the police right away? Why did he leave the noose on until police got there?

The flu shot used during the 2021 to 2022 virus season was a poor match and did little to prevent circulation, a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report finds. Researchers found that the vaccine only reduced the number of mild influenza by 16 percent, which they do not consider statistically significant. The flu strain that struck America this year was of the H3N2 strain, one of the more dangerous versions of the virus, and the shot was not tailored to the specific version of the virus that ended up emerging. Experts had warned of a brutal flu season this year for months leading up to it,

And he vowed Russian President Vladimir Putin would pay a 'severe price' if he uses chemical weapons in the Ukraine and said U.S. troops would not join the fight as not to provoke World War III. Biden announced Russia's change in status of a trade partner in lockstep with the fellow G7 nations to make it an even heavier burden on Moscow to carry.

Earlier today Steve noted a Wall Street Journal poll that contains good news for Republicans and bad news for Democrats. There is an additional feature of that poll that deserves notice, as highlighted in the Journal’s article about it: The survey also found Republicans making gains among minority groups. By 9 percentage points, Hispanic voters in the new poll said they would back a Republican candidate for Congress over a Democrat. The two parties had been tied among Hispanic voters in the Journal’s survey in November. Democratic margins also eroded among Black voters, who favored a Democrat for Congress by 35 percentage points in the new survey, down from 56 points in November.
