NOTHING TO SEE HERE, MOVE ALONG: Deutsche Bank Issues a Terrifying Warning for America Under Biden. “Already, many sources of rising prices are filtering through into the US economy. Even if they are transitory on paper, they may feed into expectations just as they did in the 1970s. The risk then, is that even if they are only embedded for a few months they may be difficult to contain, especially with stimulus so high.”

Related: CPI inflation indicator hits 5 percent. “Trillions of dollars of proposed new deficit spending would further increase inflation, and would mostly stimulate the politically connected. The Federal Reserve should resist political pressure to further flood the money supply in hopes of stimulating a faster COVID recovery.”

FOR CERTAIN VALUES OF “NEARBY.” Astronomers discover nearby exoplanet with substantial atmosphere. “Even though TOI-1231 b is eight times closer to its star than the Earth is to the sun, its temperature is similar to that of Earth, thanks to its cooler and less bright host star.”

CHRISTIAN TOTO: Does Country Music Care About Country Music Fans?

Buddy Brown became a country music star on his own terms, but it wasn’t by choice.

The singer behind “Rowdy Side” and the viral smash “We Gotta Be Less White” went to Nashville to pursue his music dreams. That’s what the rule book says, and he eagerly followed the blueprint … until the industry held up a “stop” sign.

He was too political, the right-leaning Brown tells The Babylon Bee podcast. So he went rogue, building his career without the traditional support structures.

It’s one of several examples showing the chasm between country music fans and the suits behind the industry itself.

CHEERS FOR VIRGINIA JUDGE PLOWMAN: Focus on the Family President Jim Daly lauds Loudoun County (VA) teacher Tanner Cross for standing up against Cancel Culture by refusing to call boys girls and girls boys. But Daly also points out the judge who just ruled for Cross and against the local Cancelista brigade running the public school system deserves praise. Expect an unflattering profile of Plowman in the Washington Post any day now.

BILL MAHER: ‘College is a racket.’ “I know free college is a left-wing thing, but is it really liberal for someone who doesn’t go to college and makes less money to pay for people who do go and make more? Especially since colleges have turned into giant luxury daycare centers with overpaid babysitters anxious to indulge every student whim.”

ROGER SIMON: America at the Precipice.

As for our political class, some of them talk the talk but how many would be willing to walk the walk if the situation evolves the way it may? If past performance is any indication, not many.

And don’t even get me started on the military that has morphed into an adjunct of the social justice club of Bennington College. (How Xi Jinping must be chortling.)

Nevertheless, the situation is evolving. Real Clear Investigations reported Tuesday on developments in Georgia that are highly incriminating—Biden ballots that look xeroxed.

I met the man leading the investigation in Georgia, Garland Favorito of VoterGA, when I was down in Atlanta covering the campaign. I could be wrong—I have been before—but he impressed me as that rarity, a truly honest man, just the kind of person you want to be doing this… and he didn’t vote for Trump.

So what do we do if it all comes up the way it might?

Some see violence as inevitable. I try not to. Several days a week, on my way to exercise at the gym or play tennis, I pass a plaque marking the location of the Battle of Nashville. Now a golf course, this was where the Confederacy lost the Western front to the Union with some 6000 casualties over all for both sides, not to mention thousands wounded, according to one report. And then there was Antietam and all the rest.

Who would want that to happen again?

So again what do we do?

Maybe take a page from the leftist playbook and start marching. Everywhere you can and as much as you can. “¡El pueblo unido, jamás será vencido!” The people united will never be defeated can be seen as another way of saying “We the People …”

“We the People.” I like the sound of that. Make sure you have a good pair of shoes.

And a tough skin as well: The Media Aggressively ‘Others’ Trump Voters.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Jill Biden’s Creepy Edith Wilson 2.0 Moment Has Arrived. “While I was loathe to make any predictions about politics last year, there was one thing that I was sure of: Joe Biden would never really be President of the United States. I doubt any of the 700 trillion nonillion people who allegedly voted for this drooling puppet ever believed that he’d be doing any of the actual president stuff.”

HE SAW HIS JOB AS IMPRESSING THE WOMEN OF “THE VIEW:” Emails: Fauci ‘massively flipped and flopped and flipped.’

Plus, the truly unforgivable part: “On any given day, whatever his view is, is incontrovertible and the only view. And if you disagree with him, you’re anti-science. If you say what he said a week ago, today you’re anti-science.”
