The short video from Matt Orfalea embedded below brilliantly summarizes the evidence that Dr. Fauci bullied scientists into changing their minds about what their research showed: that Covid was the product of a lab, not a naturally occurring virus. It’s one thing to read about the correspondence among those scientists in print. But seeing their actual words excerpted and dramatized with exaggerated cartoonish treatment drives home the point forcefully, especially after the brief clip of Fauci lying to the nation in a presser. This is the best use of 85 seconds today that I can think of right now:

Democrats in Congress and their legacy media enablers dropped their veils this week, revealing how dear they hold their desire and capacity to censor truth. The drop came during Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s testimony about vaccines and shows how frightened they are that he may out-primary their demented puppet Joe Biden and his cackling numbskull veep. (snip) Censorship, whether it is direct or indirect through threats to social media (snip) is a danger to us. We saw how the serious concerns about the COVID vaccine by reputable scientists were blocked from public view; how bad medical treatment (use of ventilators for COVID victims) and denial of alternative therapies cost lives

Have you ever tried to warn people about something, only to be told repeatedly that there's nothing to worry about? That you are not a serious adult for even broaching such issues? Ever wonder how things would have gone if people shouted out their windows for Paul Revere to shut up, the king's army is on the other side of the ocean? Ever started to feel like Cassandra?
What if there were substantial evidence that shady operators currently inhabiting the U.S. have the determination and connections to pose a threat to free speech, starting with the press and the internet?

I’m far from an expert on dementia, but it looks to my layman’s eye that the pace of President Biden’s decline is picking up. So, what if something awful happens and nobody can deny with a straight face that he is impaired?
His puppet masters want him to remain in office through the election. An incumbent Kamala Harris (snip) is a sure loser. (snip) Then there is Jill Biden, with her love of titles, status, and perks, who would want to stay on as First Lady (snip) What would Kamala Harris do as she is denied access to the presidency while the public is increasingly aware

Lisa Murkowski is the perfect mascot for Senate Republicans. She is a Democrat in all but name, an aristocrat who inherited her office, and a beneficiary of rigged elections. She has more in common with Nancy Pelosi than the average Republican voter, and every time Alaskan Republicans attempt to throw her out of office, Mitch McConnell's minions manipulate the rules to save her.
For McConnell, Murkowski is another beholden senator kept securely in his pocket who will vote how he wants on any given day.

The needle on my schadenfreude meter jumped so hard to the right that it’s stuck there in red zone, where my soul is endangered by excessive pleasure in the suffering of another. It must be because I find Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau such a phony doofus (snip) last month he found himself caught between his urges to pander to the trans movement on the one hand, and his longstanding desire to be perceived as the champion of Muslims in Canada, (snip)
Believing Muslims don’t want their children indoctrinated in schools with ideology being pushed by the trans movement in North America.

Yesterday’s blog post on the need to start pressuring Biden’s cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment drew a lot of readers and commenters, with much concern expressed about what happens next. Because the 25th has never been invoked, there is some confusion about whether or not a new vice president would need to be appointed. (snip) the Vice President remains in office as VP and only becomes “Acting President.” While all the “duties and powers” (Section 4) of the presidency devolve upon the Acting President, there is no vacancy in the office of Vice President. So, there is no need or ability to appoint a new Vice President.

Joe Biden’s dementia is rapidly advancing and the nation is in great peril. Proof of his decline came in a creep moment during his brief visit to Helsinki, where he assaulted (that is the proper word) a child, a little girl who happened to attract his eye in a crowd.
He walked over to her, put his mouth on her back and appeared to rapidly flick his tongue on her, through the fabric of her dress. Watch his jaw move up and down rapidly [Twitter video] (snip) It’s time to badger Biden’s cabinet with demands that they invoke the 25th and spare the nation the risk it faces.

Sherlock Holmes famously found a clue in the dog that didn’t bark in The Hound of the Baskervilles. I wonder if we may have a similar clue in the explanation offered by the Secret Service for dropping its investigation into the cocaine found in the White House after only 11 days, with no drug testing of suspects? (snip) "On July 12, the Secret Service received the FBI’s laboratory results, which did not develop latent fingerprints and insufficient DNA was present for investigative comparisons." How is it possible to handle a plastic baggie and not leave a fingerprint, or at least a fragment or trace of one?

Bud Light is far from the only beer brand with big trouble. Anchor Brewery, purchased in 1965 by washing machine heir Fritz Maytag and turned into a national phenomenon by marketing its distinctive rich, amber suds widely, sparking a national craft beer movement, is calling it quits. (snip) Beer brands have proliferated while overall consumption is stagnant to declining, as the population ages and concerns over obesity and carbohydrate consumption grow. (snip) Two and a half years ago, the company dropped its nostalgia-laden labels and went modern, losing whatever sentimental appeal the industry pioneer may have been able to exercise.

When a blue-state governor in a failing blue state starts cutting red tape as if he were President Trump, look out: He's running for president.
Which brings us to Gavin Newsom, who, sure enough, is suddenly starting to act like a Republican.
He signed off on this this week, according to The Hill:
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) Monday signed into law a package of infrastructure bills that aim to cut the red tape associated with building new projects, while also ensuring environmental protection. (snip) Which is weird stuff, because Newsom's never cared about red tape before, or at least, not enough to do anything about it

The strategy of the American Marxists seeking to impose a cultural revolution has been top-down, derived from the work of Antonio Gramsci, taking control of the “commanding heights” of institutional power and imposing their vision on what old style Marxists called “the masses.” So long as the great unwashed remained passive, oblivious to what was happening, it was highly successful. (snip) the rush to transform the most basic building blocks of our culture, the family and the sexual mores that maintain it, appears to be a bridge too far, especially the attempt to impose as normal the transsexual agenda.
