HERE’S WHY: American history is one of progress and hope, not the oppression and hypocrisy we are constantly told by the Left.

NANCY PELOSI’S HUSBAND FACES HIT-AND-RUN CHARGE:

Paul Pelosi, the 86-year-old husband of Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), is facing a hit-and-run investigation in Napa County after allegedly slamming into a parked car and driving off as if nothing happened.

According to the Napa County Sheriff’s Office, an eyewitness in Yountville called 911 around 2:30 p.m. Friday after watching a convertible strike a parked car, pause for a moment, then take off.

Pelosi drove the convertible, which was later found a short distance away, disabled at the exact intersection where Napa County busted him for driving under the influence in 2022.

You can’t make this stuff up.

It’s good to be in the nomenklatura.

THE ‘BAM THAT DIDN’T BARK: When Will Obama Say, ‘What’s Happened to My Party?’

Avila Chevalier once retweeted: “I just cannot get over the fact that the universe has foisted upon us the perfect illustration of literally every failing of capitalism and people are still like we can’t be communists cuz there won’t be enough types of soup.” CNN examined her now-deleted X account and reported it contained “repeated sympathetic references to communism, Marxist ideology and Soviet figures, including Vladimir Lenin.” Another post encouraged workers to “seize the means of production.” Another advocated worker control of wealth. She wrote: “You can call that communism, you can call it socialism, you can call it pancakes.” She described Karl Marx’s “Das Kapital” as an “essential must-read.”

Her posts went well beyond economics. In April 2020, she called Joe Biden a “rapist.” After then-Vice President Kamala Harris urged migrants not to cross the southern border illegally, Avila Chevalier responded: “I have no nuance to add. (Expletive) Kamala Harris.”

Avila Chevalier called for abolishing police and prisons, posted about wiping her hands on the American flag, and denounced interracial relationships by accusing Black and Arab men of “fetishizing ugly colonizer women,” one of several posts in which she attacked white women.

Claire Valdez, another Mamdani-endorsed Democratic nominee for the U.S. House, has vowed to “take away buildings” from alleged slumlords and supports nationwide rent control.

Where is Barack Obama?

Tacitly approving their message.

SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN SOLD AS PUBLISHER DIVESTS ITSELF OF THE BUD LIGHT OF SCIENCE JOURNALS:

I have been following the antics of Scientific American, the Bud Light of science journals, for quite some time now.

The low-lights from the magazine’s stack of articles include:

Now comes news that Springer Nature, the publisher, announced it is divesting both of its flagship consumer science magazines, Scientific American and Spektrum der Wissenschaft (Spectrum of Science) in Germany. The company says that the sales are part of a strategic pivot to concentrate exclusively on its core academic, health, and education publishing business.

In recent years, particularly when it came to Covid, Scientific American really covered all the bases:

● Why Are People with Obesity More Vulnerable to COVID?

–Scientific American, June 24th, 2021.

● Scientific American looks at the racist stigmatization of black women’s bodies and obesity.

—Twitchy and your humble narrator, December 28th, 2022:

● The Mask Comes Off: Determined to defend face coverings, a Scientific American article dismisses scientific “rigor.”

● Scientific American: “As the daughter of a cancer researcher, Kamala Harris would bring a lifelong familiarity with science to the presidency, experts say.”

● Scientific American Editor-in-Chief Resigns After MAGA Meltdown Went Viral.

● Scientific American attacks Jay Bhattacharya for prioritizing Americans’ autonomy over ‘the science.’

Choose your adventure.

POLIMATH DISMANTLES LEFTY PROF AND HIS THREAD CALLING PATRIOT FRONT ‘REPUBLICAN STAFFERS’ IN JUST TWO POSTS:

As John Nolte adds, “if these were actual right wingers, the corporate media would have doxxed them by now:”

(Also safe? The Reuters photographer who carefully composed the above image.)

Feds? SPLC? In any case, can their backers spring for a new pair of duds?
