SCIENCE AND SOULS CAN BOTH BE TRUE: Los Angeles Police Detective Jimmy Wallace begs to disagree with those who claim science has disproven the existence of the human soul. One might think, in view of Soul Music like Wilson Pickett’s, that shouldn’t be a point in dispute, but alas, it is, particularly on the Left where the totalitarians do their most determinedly anti-God thing.

I HAD TO LEAVE. THEY WERE HAVING FUN WRONG. Don’t Enjoy Anything: MSNBC Bemoans People Having Any Fun.

MSNBC informed us during the summer 2020 protests that cops help to perpetuate “institutional racism.” However, it seems like MSNBC only cares about police violence when it advances its leftist policies goals and not when it helps to keep everyone locked in their homes.

To further reinforce his scaremongering, Gibson displayed a chyron which proclaimed “Growing Fears about spring break super spreader events here in GA, FL.”

The liberal media made similar predictions about the Super Bowl in Florida, which did not result in the terrifying super spreader event that it predicted. The media has also bashed Florida due to Republican Governor Ron DeSantis not implementing draconian lockdown policies. However, even New York Times Miami bureau chief Patricia Mazzei had to admit in an op-ed on Saturday that “Florida’s death rate is no worse than the national average, and better than that of some other states that imposed more restrictions, despite its large numbers of retirees, young partiers and tourists.”

Gibson groused about the scene in Florida being “absolutely wild” and Mzezewa freaked out over people not following “the rules anymore”:

So, you know, that footage feels like it’s from 2019 but it’s not, right? People just feel like they deserve to go travel. It’s warm there. They’ve been cooped up for a year and they don’t care about the rules anymore.

FROM KAL SPRIGGS:  The Shattered Empire.

Baron Lucius Giovanni has managed to buy the human race a brief reprieve from the two alien races which seek humanity’s extinction. In the process he has become the leader of a new nation and the commander of a powerful fleet. However, victory comes with consequences. Without an imminent threat, old feuds have sparked back to life and tenuous alliances falter. There are also old enemies who cannot forget that Lucius has what they wanted. He must find a way to hold off scheming rivals, sociopathic psychics, and even former friends. If he can’t do all that and take the fight to humanity’s true enemies, billions may die under alien servitude.

TRUNALIMUNUMAPRZURE! President Biden is crumbling before our eyes:

Joe Biden’s decline has become so painful to see and so embarrassing to watch that it feels cruel to mention it. But it’s even more cruel that Biden’s team act as if it’s not happening, and most of America’s media look the other way.

On Thursday night, Biden marked the first anniversary of the Covid-19 shutdowns and his fiftieth day in the White House by giving the first televised address of his presidency. He hadn’t been seen in public for three days.

From the moment he wheezed up to the lectern and peered into the camera, you could tell Biden was on top form: croaky sentiment, sporadic belligerence, and only the occasional moment when he looked oddly distant and perplexed.

He got through twenty minutes, then tottered off without taking any questions. This is how low the bar now is for Biden. And we can see how hard Biden has to fight, and what a long run-up he requires, if he is to clear it.

We can see it in his struggle to follow the simple lines on his autocue, and in his bungling of the simplest ad-libs. We see it in the clips of his increasingly desperate handlers trying to block him from questions at his rare and carefully managed appearances before the cameras. Most of all, we see it in his eyes.

“What am I doing here?” Biden asked after fumbling his autocue lines in an address in Texas in late February. He reached for the cue cards that are now his constant companion. “I’m gonna lose track here.”

Biden’s supporters call him “gaffe-prone”. It’s true: he’s always thought with his mouth open. It’s also true that he bravely overcame a speech impediment in childhood, and that anxiety and age can cause a stutter to recur. But these aren’t gaffes or stutters.

Compare how he moves and sounds now to how he was a year ago, let alone five years ago. Biden looks and sounds frail. He seems visibly distressed at his inability to carry out the simplest requirements of office – and at a time when the requirements are simpler than usual.

When Biden dodged the press during last year’s election campaign, his aides called it Covid-19 precautions. As the pandemic ends, he will run out of excuses for not travelling. He doesn’t look capable of leading an international summit, let alone taking the proverbial 3 a.m. phone call.

Earlier this week, the Commander-in-Chief forgot the name of the largest department in the US government, the Department of Defense, as well as the name of the man he recently appointed as its leader, Lloyd Austin.

“Thank you to the Sec… the former general… I keep calling him general… my… my… the guy who runs that outfit over there,” he flailed.

Biden is the first President in decades to reach fifty days in office without giving a press conference. He missed giving the traditional speech to Congress in February. His handlers refuse to name when he might talk to the press, and only offer that it’s “something he will do in the future”.

There’s only one possible explanation. Biden’s team don’t trust him to manage one of the simplest requirements of modern political office. But they know they can’t defer the reckoning.

And maybe, perhaps, here we go: Coming next Thursday: Biden’s first presidential press conference.

BRYAN PRESTON: Nia Renee Hill and Bill Burr Show How to Handle Woke-a-Trons.

Bill Burr presented some awards and make some jokes at the Grammys Sunday. I wasn’t watching*, and only heard about it later, being one of the vast majority of Americans who could not find a way to care less about the Grammys or any other shows on which famous people congratulate themselves and give each other trophies for being famous.

Searching for a way to care less…coming up empty.

Burr isn’t politically correct, that’s his thing, and his jokes Sunday night weren’t politically correct.

Some people had a problem with this and called him a racist. Because it’s 2021, that problem had to become the entire world’s problem.

Others pointed out that Burr probably isn’t a racist since there’s no evidence he is and by the way his wife, the multi-talented actress, and producer Nia Renee Hill, is black.

Some people still had a problem with Burr. One of them is a failed candidate for the office by the name of Clayburn Griffin. He’s on Twitter, which apparently exists to elevate stupid opinions.

See for yourself.

More here: Bill Burr’s wife fires back after Twitter user suggests their marriage is a ‘sign of racism.’

Hill was evidently unimpressed by the tweet, hitting back with the abrupt response: “B****, shut the f*** up.”

Fellow Twitter users were quick to dismiss or mock Griffin’s comments, with rapper Zuby replying: “Well done. Worst tweet ever. And the competition is tough.

“You won. You can delete your account now.”

Heh, indeed.

‘A SCORCHED EARTH SENATE:’

In respect of the filibuster, Senator Mitch McConnell certainly put the hay down where us mules can get to it. The Republican leader unloaded after a hapless Ben Cardin, senator of Maryland, while talking on Monday with Transportation Secretary Buttigieg, “accidentally” got caught by a hot-mic and, as the New York Post retailed the story, “outed plans to pass an infrastructure bill without Republican votes.”

Mr. McConnell responded today with a prediction of the kind rarely heard in the upper chamber. “Let me say this very clearly, for all 99 of my colleagues,” the Kentuckian rasped. “Nobody serving in this chamber can even begin — can even begin — to imagine what a completely scorched earth Senate would look like. None of us has even served one minute in a Senate that was completely drained of comity and consent.”

The Republican marked that Senator Chuck Schumer, fewer than four years ago, had called the legislative filibuster “the most important distinction between the Senate and the House” and had suggested that without the 60-vote threshold for legislation, the Senate “becomes a majoritarian institution like the House, much more subject to the winds of short-term electoral change. No Senator would like to see that happen.”

Behold the awesome firepower of a fully-operational Cocaine Mitch: “He promised that a Republican majority would immediately defund Planned Parenthood and sanctuary cities, push abortion restrictions, ramp up security on the southern border and more.”

WITH RUSH DEAD AND TRUMP OUT OF OFFICE, CNN HAS PICKED THEIR NEXT EMMANUEL GOLDSTEIN: Tucker Carlson is the new Trump — because there is nobody else.

‘Tucker Carlson is the new Donald Trump.’ So said CNN’s Brian Stelter on his Sunday program, Reliable Sources.

Stelter was apparently handed his own TV show based on the principle that at least one CNN host ought to resemble the network’s target audience. Nevertheless, he is correct. Progressivism needs Tucker to be Trump, and so for the moment, he is.

To work in cable in the age of Donald Trump was to live life on easy mode. For years, channels tried desperately to hook viewers with endless updates on missing white women, murdered white women or murdering white women. Suddenly, with Trump, none of that was needed. Every day brought a fresh outrage, a new ridiculous statement or tweet or national policy. The news cycle shrank from a week to a day to mere hours in some cases.

Print journalism wasn’t spared. The New York Times abandoned its post of affected neutrality, discovering that it could dramatically expand its subscriber base and keep winning Pulitzers as a full-time resistance paper. Other publications followed.

But what can the #Resistance do without someone to resist? For five years, progressives shrieked for a Donald Trump Twitter ban. Now, the president is gone, out of office and apparently uninterested in appearing on any media platform he doesn’t own. While his press releases read exactly like tweets, they are few and far between.

Like Tom without Jerry, Scratchy without Itchy, or Stacey Abrams without the McDonald’s Supersize option, progressivism is lost without the Bad Orange Man to transfix their viewers and themselves. CNN and MSNBC ratings have tanked in recent months.

Progressivism clearly needs a bogeyman — and Tucker Carlson is quickly filling the 45th president’s void.
