IF YOU SET OUT TO BOYCOTT GEORGIA, BOYCOTT GEORGIA: Rubio to MLB commissioner Manfred: Drop your Augusta golf membership, too. “I am, of course, under no expectation any of this will happen. Taking the All-Star game
out of Georgia is an easy way to signal virtues without significant financial fallout.”

TRUST: Chinese Officials Trying to Dodge COVID-19 Vaccinations, Citing Health Reasons: Leaked Documents. “As the Chinese regime races to inoculate tens of millions through coercive policies and a propaganda blitz, some local officials are quietly dodging the shots themselves. Amid Beijing’s aggressive vaccine push, dozens of officials from parts of Liaoning, a province in northeastern China, have cited various health reasons not to take the Chinese COVID-19 vaccine, internal documents obtained by The Epoch Times reveal. In a town called Xintai, located in the center of the province, only three out of 66 officials have gotten vaccinated, with another two on the registration list—showing a dismal willingness rate of less than 10 percent.”
KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Media Smears Are Just Making DeSantis Stronger. “We all thought that the mainstream media was at its absolute lowest when President Trump was in office. At the beginning of the year I warned everyone that things were about to get worse. Now the journalist hacks are faced with both propping up the empty husk who is occupying the Oval Office and exorcise the demons associated with Trump still living rent free in their heads. The perversions of the First Amendment have gotten exponentially worse since January 20th.”

AND YET THE ESTABLISHMENT WILL OSTRACIZE YOU NOW IF YOU SAY IT: Democrats don’t trust elections either, only 19% of all voters say Biden and Trump elected ‘fairly.’
After 2016, a deluge of articles and books pointed to Hillary Clinton’s 77,000-vote margin of defeat in three decisive states, blaming, plausibly, James Comey’s late actions or, less plausibly, Russia’s dabblings in Facebook and Twitter. These legends live today and are treated respectfully. The same books could be written about 2020. Mr. Trump’s Electoral College failure was even smaller, 44,000 votes in three states. This legend is not going away either, however much Mr. Trump muddies it with absurd claims. No evidence suggests large-scale vote fraud. The “but for” argument is the one that will endure.
But for late rule changes in many states in defiance of the U.S. Constitution, mail-in votes would have played a much smaller role in the election.
But for the efforts of the mainstream media and Silicon Valley giants, many more voters might have been influenced by the Hunter Biden laptop story.
But for the efforts of 50 retired intelligence officials who suggested the story was Russian disinformation, news organizations would not have had a hook to insist the laptop story was false.
Mr. Biden’s allies were right in seeing the laptop as their James Comey. But the well-sourced laptop story was true. The FBI, we learned almost as soon the election ended, possessed copies of the data since 2018 and was investigating Hunter’s tax and business dealings.
The laptop has now surfaced again to corroborate, with Hunter’s own text messages, a strange story about his lying on a federal background check to obtain a gun, then the improper disposal of the same gun in a public trash can by his then-girlfriend who also happened to be his brother’s widow.
The New Yorker magazine, among a host of impeccably establishment news outlets, once devoted 10,000 words to the topic, “Will Hunter Biden Jeopardize His Father’s Campaign?” Today, the top half of the hierarchy in every newsroom in America knows the gun story is the quintessence of “news,” especially given the current clamor for strengthened background checks. Yet news editors have largely treated the gun story as if it doesn’t exist, likely because they are terrorized by their own bottom half. . . . The role of rule changes in 2020, the role of the media, the role of a “cabal” (in Time magazine’s word) that worked the legal machinery to assure Mr. Biden’s advantage—all this is part of history now and should be spoken of.

GENTLEMEN, YOU CAN’T USE DATA HERE, THIS IS A UNIVERSITY! University Of Missouri Faculty Upset About Use Of Data In Promotion And Tenure.
To be fair, it depends on the quality of the data. For $527,000 a year — which sounds kinda boondogglish for simply comparing faculty scholarship to that at other universities — the data had better be damn good.

IT’S HISTORIC: On this day in 1930, the Twinkie was invented by bakery manager James Dewar in Schiller Park, Illinois. As is so often the case, capacity was the mother of invention. The machinery for making cream-filled strawberry shortcake was unused when strawberries were out of season. Twinkies (which were originally banana cream filled) were the off-season solution.

DUH! Election Fraud Hotspots – 10% of the Data are 70% of the Fraud.
As Larry Correia (may his beard grow longer) said from the beginning: the 2020 election: fuckery is afoot.
Election 2020: the more fuckery update. And: I asked one simple question to people who work with fraud.
And yes, I do know that what we’ve learned in 2020 is that when a science fiction writer screams on her/his own blog and nobody listens, it doesn’t make a sound. However, Larry, before becoming The Mountain Who Writes and purchasing his very own mountain lair was a forensic accountant.
Any non-compromised/bought/otherwise suborned accountant/statistician/mathematician or simply someone who knows what bullsh*t with numbers smells like (say anyone who lived under socialism before) has been screaming “the facts/numbers don’t add up” since November.
