DAVID HARSANYI: The Democrats’ Reconciliation Bill Is Unprecedented in Every Way. “There was a time not very long ago when political parties never would have entertained the idea of jamming through any massive, generational reform without some form of buy-in from the other party.”

That was before Obama.

DON SURBER: BLM increased black murders by 2,164 (28%) in 2020. “BLM is a lie because black lives don’t matter to Democrats. If they did, murder rates would not be Third World High in Democrat cities across the nation.”

ALL ROADS LEAD TO HEAVEN? Well, all but one of them share a particular  characteristic that sets them opposite of the exception, according to cold-case detective J. Warner Wallace, who knows a thing or three about persons of interest. Thus falls another misconception about that itinerant preacher from Nazareth (Galilee, not Pennsylvania). The latter’s most famous guy is Mario Andretti of Indy and F1 fame.

TYLER COWEN: Is Biden’s Economic Plan Actually a Good Idea? “If the biggest news is what’s not being talked about, then my candidate for the most neglected story would be President Joe Biden’s plan for $3.5 trillion in new government spending. Crazy as my hypothesis may seem, given all the stuff about Biden’s agenda on the internet, there has been remarkably little policy debate about it, and remarkably little attempt to persuade the American public that this spending is a good idea.”

They need to pass it for you to find out what’s in it.

EQUALITY IS THE NEW RACISM: Professor who criticized extra pay for black faculty labeled example of racism at Princeton. “Princeton University freshmen have been taught that a professor at the institution is an example of racism because he criticized a now-defunct black student group’s aggressive tactics and he opposes giving professors of color a variety of perks, such as additional pay. Joshua Katz, a highly decorated Princeton classics professor of nearly 25 years, is featured in a ‘virtual gallery’ detailing various forms of racism at the Ivy League university. The gallery was part of a mandatory freshman orientation video.”

Freshman orientation in 2021: “Welcome to our racist school. Here are some examples of our racism.”

HMM: Top generals step down in ominous sign for Turkish military in Syria. “Abrupt retirement requests by meritorious generals with ample operational experience and bright careers ahead of them are highly unusual in the deep-rooted traditions of the Turkish military, especially in the middle of critical missions. Early retirement requests by such figures can be read as a gesture of disagreement with their superiors or disapproval of government policies.”

STACY MCCAIN:Identity, Opposition and Hate.

Say hello to Shardé Nabors, Oregon project manager for a Seattle-based activist organization called Social Justice Fund NW. Curious readers may ask, “What sort of ‘social justice’ does Shardé advocate?” And the answer is, the destruction of the United States of America.

So, earlier this week I made a post saying that it doesn’t sit right with me that there are white people who own property — multiple properities, at that — in the United States of America while black and indigenous people are experiencing homelessness. And I want to expand on that, especially for my new followers who are white, who followed me because of my anti-racist content. I’m glad that you’re listening to me, but I really want to make sure that you’re hearing what I’m saying. There will never be black liberation or indigenous sovereignty as long as the United States of America exists. If you want black folks around the globe and in this country liberated, if you want indigenous folks to be able to have sovereignty over the lands that their indigenous to, then the United States of America needs to cease to exist. And I don’t know if y’all are ready for that, I don’t know if that’s what y’all signed up for. I’m not sure if anti-racist work is just something you do to lessen the inconvenience of racism in your life, but I hope you’re ready for this. It’s not for the weak.”

That’s the kind of 501(c)3 tax-exempt “activism” she gets paid for. This is where the logic of the “social justice” narrative leads — hatred and destruction, advocating genocide as the Final Solution.

Earlier: Watch: This Has Always Been the End Goal of “Anti-Racism:” “‘The United States of America needs to cease to exist.’ You’ll notice she has the same crazy-eyed glee as all the other woke disciples when talking about stuff like this.”

SUNLIGHT IS THE BEST DISINFECTANT: More Federal Indictments Issued Against Hillary’s Lawyer for Russia Hoax Op.

This latest set of indictments appear to show that Durham has more people in his sights. Indeed, as you can see for yourself, there appear to be many, many targets out there.

Half the country believes there’s no such thing as equal justice under the law anymore. It would be nice to see these high-level conspiracists finally get what they deserve. After all, this all set the table not only for the 2016 election, but for Trump’s impeachments and dirtying him up for the 2020 election.

That’s a hell of a blow to the body politic.

Read the whole thing.

AMERICA SAYS CUT FEDERAL SPENDING: That sounds like a headline from the Reagan era, but in fact it’s what Issues & Insights found in its latest TIPP Survey on the state of the nation and the economy. As usual, what common-sense Americans want and what the Washington Establishment is focused on are polar opposites.

Observes I&I:

“The data conveys a strong message to Washington. Now is not the time to engage in social engineering. Washington is simply out of touch to even contemplate, let alone pass, such massive spending bills [ Biden’s $3.5 trillion spending explosion].

“Businesses and families in the country are hurting and afraid of inflation, and they believe that big government spending is unwise. Be warned: politicians who ignore will pay dearly for their actions in the midterm elections next year.”

 

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Hapless, Terrified Dems Miss Every Time They Swing at DeSantis. “The Democrats have a Ron DeSantis problem and it is quite fun to watch. When they aren’t letting Donald Trump set up camp rent-free in their heads, they’re getting triggered by all things DeSantis. The Florida governor just keeps rolling along and kicking butt, despite the Democrats and their flying media monkeys attempting to savage and thwart him at every turn.”
