SAY ANYTHING: Biden Promises Science Will Guide Him. So Why Is He Canceling the Keystone XL Pipeline?

JIM MEIGS: Hardening Our Voting System.

In fact, our electoral system is not as secure as it should be. Not surprisingly, citizens on both sides seem to trust it only when their party wins. Four years ago, of course, it was Democrats who claimed that the presidential election was “hacked,” and some, including the losing candidate herself, never stopped calling Trump’s presidency illegitimate. According to a 2020 Gallup poll, deep distrust in our electoral system goes back many years, though never before has it led to the kind of frightening violence we saw in Washington earlier this month.

Unfortunately, concerns about election security tend to be downplayed by whichever political party has won the most recent contest. That’s a mistake.

It’s not enough for a voting system to be fair. It needs to be seen as fair by everyone — the losers as well as the winners.

LEARN!  How To Resist.

JACK SHAFER: HEY, THE CAPITOL RIOTERS AREN’T ACTUALLY A BUNCH OF LOSERS, BUT SOLID CITIZENS. We Mock the Rioters as Ignorant Buffoons at Our Peril: Many of them looked an awful lot like our community leaders and that will make repairing the damage much harder.

Our political class — and that very much includes the folks at Politico — needs to have one of those “why do they hate us?” moments that are reserved for attacks by foreigners. Shafer’s piece isn’t great, though I appreciate the slam at Caitlin Flanagan’s lazy take. But it counts as brave by the sorry standards of today’s political journalism.

ALL OF US:  Cold Sweat.

THERE ARE NO MASSES OF QANON: Washington Post Pushes Extreme Fear Porn Claiming Super Secret FBI Report of Mass QAnon Hordes Planning to Invade Washington DC.

I say again: The FBI needs to pulled apart, root branch and trunk.  There need to be trials of traitors and those in the pay of foreign entities.  The final battle with communism/fascism always had to be here. That’s just good plotting. The problem is, we don’t know if this has a happy ending.

THEY ARE DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS?   How to spot a liar, according to science.

Oh, oh, oh. And their lips are moving.

THIS IS NOT THE BEHAVIOR OF PEOPLE WHO WON:  Leftists successfully persecuting those who questioned election results, aiming to destroy careers.

WHO CARES ABOUT CANADA? MOSTLY HE’S TRYING TO DESTROY US:  Biden set to cancel Keystone XL pipeline and right out the gate enrages Canada.
