WELL, IT’S DICK DURBIN: How Many Times Can Dick Durbin Be Wrong Within a Single Quote?

You know, you look at people like Durbin, Schiff, Pelosi, et al. and you think they’re fools, crooks and incompetents. And you’re right — except that in the particular ecosystem they inhabit, they’re also apex predators. Our problem is that we have a system that elevates people like that to the apex-predator role.

WELL, GOOD: Sinema Not Budging on Changing Filibuster Rules to Pass Voting Legislation.

D*MN IT, BEE!  KKK Disbands As Progressive Left Accomplishing All Their Goals.

America’s paper of record!

DORIANE COLEMAN: The still-salient case for a biologically-based women’s category in elite sport.

I know it makes me a bad person, at least in the eyes of some, but I kind of like that all the you-go-girl feminism that led to the push for expanded women’s sports under a rather expanded reading of Title IX is now undoing all that under an even-more-expanded reading of Title IX.

YES, THERE IS ACTUAL EVIDENCE FOR THE VIRGIN BIRTH: Erik Manning lays it all out here on HillFaith today. Odds are, before the Christmas/New Year season is behind us, you will hear or read a skeptic deriding the Gospel of Matthew’s account of Jesus’ birth, so, if you aren’t sure, check it out, then make up your own mind after you hear both sides.

HER PRONOUN WAS “YANKEE DOODLE DANDY”: From back when transgender men were … uh … men: On this day in 1760, Deborah Sampson was born. During the Revolution, she disguised herself as a man and joined the Fourth Massachusetts Regiment under the name “Robert Shurtleff.”

Did she see combat? You bet your sweet bippy she saw combat. And when she was shot in the left thigh, she extracted the pistol ball herself in order to avoid the possibility that she would be found out. (She was later “outed” as a woman when she fell ill, but received an honorable discharge.)

Can a woman like that return to her petticoats after the war? Well … yeah … why the heck not? She married Benjamin Gannet and had three children—Earl, Mary, and Patience.

SURE. GLOBAL WARMING CAUSES ICE AGES:  Winter is Coming: Researchers Claim to Uncover the Surprising Cause of the Little Ice Age.

I bet that’s worth some grants. Though none of it makes sense, but hey, neither does anything else.

Note also that heating and cooling these people “tracked” is caused by solar activity not puny humans.

Arumph. I’m tired of fools.

SUING THEM IS OKAY, BUT #TEAMHEADSONPIKES IS GETTING RESTIVE:  Breaking: Patriots Sue January 6 Select Committee and Verizon.

Because this entire outrage is an indecency perpetrated not only against the innocent victims that the democrats want to tarnish with the brush of “insurrectionists” but against We The People. It’s time these bad and unruly servants of We The People get told where they get off.

I’m still holding out for shipping them to China. With or without apples in their mouths.

MASTER CLASS ON HILLARY IN ONE GRAPH: She, of all people, is teaching a “Master Class” on “the Power of Resilience.” Andrew Stiles of the Washington Free Beacon tells us what he learned under Hillary’s tutelage:

“You almost have to feel sorry for Hillary Clinton. Not really, but for the sake of argument. As recently as 2016, she was a multimillionaire feminist icon on the verge of making history. Now she’s just an irrelevant failure and ‘toxic white liberal’ who is despised or ignored by everyone outside the Acela corridor cocktail circuit. Her days of charging $225,500 to give a speech at the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries are long gone, yet she is either unable or unwilling to bow out gracefully. The Master Class gig seems like another step in Hillary’s inevitable evolution from failed politician to moderately successful self-help guru to extremely successful multilevel marketing executive to federal inmate.”

Pretty much captures it, don’t you think?

WELL, HE KNOWS MOST OF IT IS MADE UP:  Biden apparently thinks COVID deaths are amusing.

AS THE LAST TWO YEARS HAVE SHOWN, YOU CAN’T GO WRONG LISTENING TO EXPERTS:  I’m a parenting expert, these are the mistakes that are making your kids entitled nightmares.

WEIRD THINGS ALWAYS COME OUT OF THE LEFTISTS’ MOUTHS:  Now that Build Back Better looks dead in the water, weird things are coming out of the mouths of Delusional Dems.

ALSO STOP DERIDING HUMANS:  To Fix a Cratering Birthrate, Stop Killing Your Children.

I HAVE BEEN GETTING REPORTS LIKE THIS FROM ALL OVER:  A nurse reader describes the state of her hospital.

It’s not the Covid. It’s the Covidiocy.

A FRIEND SUGGESTED ECHOING THIS HERE CONSTITUTES HUNTING OVER BAIT:  The Lost.

Do understand I don’t want to argue, though. I just hate sloppy thinking of the sort that becomes an habit.

I TOL’ THEM:  Uber, China, and a scam Mel Brooks would have been proud to invent.

Okay I didn’t tell Uber, partly because I don’t move in those circles, but I did tell all my writer friends salivating over “China” as a market “no, they won’t buy your books. They’ll buy a copy, and then sell pirated copies.”

And this, ladies, gentlemen, and small lizards, is why all the idiots dying to sell us to China are going to get bitten. (Before they get beaten, which might at this point be inevitable.) Because China is not a country you can trust as a trade partner. Only idiots who think every country is the US can fail to realize that.
Look, they have no middle class. They have no respect for intellectual property. And their currency itself is the fiat of an authoritarian government. You have to be an idiot to let yourself be bought with the stuff. It’s — at best — fairy gold. And it will turn into far worse than leaves and twigs come morning.

SPOILER: VERY SOCIALIST:  How socialist was National Socialism? The brothers Otto and Gregor Strasser.

WHEN YOU HATE HUMANS YOU SEIZE ON ANY EXCUSE:  Midwest Storms and the Weaponization of Weather.

Do we really have proof the leftists aren’t lizard people?

IF THEY KEEP PUSHING, THEY WON’T LIKE THE RESPONSE:  Manchin Has His Toe on Build Back Better, Sinema Has Hers on HR1, AKA For The People Act.

WE ARE A GREAT PEOPLE AFFLICTED BY TERRIBLE “LEADERS”:  Extraordinary Americans: Medal of Honor Recipients Cashe, Celiz, Plumlee.

We couldn’t be conquered by force, so they are trying it on by a color revolution. But it’s becoming more obvious every day. And it won’t go well for them.

ONCE, PEOPLE KNEW STUFF LIKE THIS: Liz Wheeler on Salvation Army ‘suffering’: That’s what happens when you call white donors racists.

UNEMPLOYMENT ONLY AFFECTS SOME PEOPLE, INFLATION AFFECTS EVERYONE: Kurt Schlichter: Inflation Devastation for the Democrats. “Yeah, think about 18% interest, all you folks with an adjustable rate loan. You’re spoiled by cheap money and low inflation. You are about to learn a lesson in economics. See, when Uncle Sucker prints lots of money and there are fewer things to buy, you get inflation. Prices rise. And your standard of living falls. Despite the economic insights of Joe Biden and his cast of mutants, there’s no changing it. And no, inflation is not evidence that all is well. That’s like a leper saying ‘Well, now that my big toe fell off, there’s less stuff to be infected. I’m cured!’ You are already seeing the results of the flood of fiat money wished into being by a liberal Congress. We have not gone full Weimar yet, but if they pass this BBB thing, life will be a cabaret.”

Plus: “Again, the people who rule you and who hate you love this. Inflation is a punishment for you existing. You should not be driving – free people drive. Nor should you be eating food you like – that’s a prerogative of free people too. To deny you the ability to do these things is part of the point. You must be conditioned to accept less, to take what you are given – by them. You know, your masters.”

BECAUSE THEY’RE CRAZY AND STUPID? Why Democrats Are Losing Ground With Hispanic Voters. “Biden’s approval rating has declined with just about every demographic. But no racial or ethnic group has soured on the president more than Hispanics, according to FiveThirtyEight’s aggregation of all available polls.”

They bet their future on demographic change — but then they surrendered their party to well-heeled woke white activists who repel anyone with a grounding in reality. Oops!

MY NEW YORK POST COLUMN: It’s time to abolish ‘emergency’ COVID-19 powers.

DON’T GET COCKY: Generic Congressional Ballot: Republicans Lead 48%-39% on Congressional Ballot. Historically, when this is polling at just even the GOP will win. By historical standards, this predicts a blowout. But the election is almost a year away, and unlike historically, once again virtually every significant institution in America will be shamelessly working on behalf of the Democrats.

If you care, you should be donating and volunteering.
