KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Biden’s Joint Session Mask Fetish Party Was Totally Creepy. “The mask virtue signaling in a room full of socially-distanced people who are all vaccinated was pathetic. It was also proof that the big idea, big government Dems know that they really have nothing going on and they have to keep the public distracted by the COVID panic porn.”

HMM: Judge won’t dismiss Amazon’s claim that Trump interfered with $10B cloud contract. “Amazon was seen as a frontrunner for the contract prior to Microsoft winning the deal in October 2019. Amazon protested that decision, alleging that Trump’s personal animus toward the company improperly influenced the outcome. The Department of Defense reviewed the decision after a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction. Following the review, the DoD reaffirmed the decision in September.”

I figure if our woke Pentagon wouldn’t go with Amazon, then Microsoft must have had the much better offer.

ROGER KIMBALL: The mendacity of Joe Biden’s address to Congress.

Of course, it would not have been a Democratic talk if there were not some invocation of the melée at the Capitol on January 6.

‘As we gather here tonight, the images of a violent mob assaulting this Capitol — desecrating our democracy — remain vivid in our minds.

‘Lives were put at risk. Lives were lost. Extraordinary courage was summoned.

‘The insurrection was an existential crisis — a test of whether our democracy could survive.’

But it wasn’t an insurrection It wasn’t an ‘existential crisis’. And it wasn’t a test of ‘our democracy’ (i.e., not your democracy).

But it is an excuse for Biden not to let a crisis go to waste: Biden Says White Supremacists Have Replaced Jihadists as ‘Most Lethal Terrorist Threat’ to U.S.

What, not high-fructose corn syrup?

 

TYLER O’NEIL: A Post-Christian America Is Bad News for Everyone. “ The New Atheists may have partly achieved their goal, but declining church attendance and religious affiliation haven’t exactly translated into more peace and rational discourse. A rising ‘woke’ orthodoxy among secularists has even targeted ‘New Atheist’ Richard Dawkins himself for excommunication — over one tweet.”

The progressive god is a jealous god.

FROM BLAKE SMITH:  The Road to Stonberg.

Gavril of Grimsby is not your ordinary monster-slayer for hire…

Gavril thought defeating a giant was the most interesting thing he’d do all week. But when a merchant caravan needs guards for the treacherous journey over the mountains to Stonberg, he can’t resist signing on, and learns that even peaceful men don’t always have peaceful lives.

SOMETIMES I SIT DOWN TO WRITE A POST, BUT WHAT COMES OUT IS…. FROM THE BACK BRAIN:  Everywhere.

And for the record — for the mentally impaired who think to say “I see something coming” is to wish for it — let me be abundantly clear: I don’t want violence. I don’t want destruction. What’s headed for us is going to destroy innocents, burn wealth, and kill billions (most of them in the third world.)  But I now think/feel it’s inescapable.

IT’S ONLY DISMAL IF YOU ASSUME THE JUNTA DOESN’T INTEND TO DESTROY US:  Biden’s Dismal Start .

Btw, their calling the Constitution “White Supremacy” means they’re oath breakers and lied when they swore allegiance  to it. That by definition makes them non-legitimate. Admittedly so. It is also one of the oldest and most vile crimes in any human society.

OR YOU KNOW, THEY COULD LOOK AT HOW THEY DESTROYED THEIR CITIES:  Democrats, Media Blame Trump Over Census Counts, Gov. Cuomo Says He’s Exploring ‘Legal Options’.

Hey, Fredo’s brother, it might be clearer what you did and what is coming down the pike if you remove your head from your behind. Just a thought. I know that stylish chapeaux de derriere are all the rage among the left just now, but trust me, it makes you believe some crazy things.
