VICTORIA TAFT: Facebook Is Taking Over Local News the Way It Took Over Local Voting Offices. “Big Tech is doubling down on it all by embedding its like-minded children in local papers to do to journalism what Big Tech is doing to free speech and what Zuckerberg did to elections.”
IT’S THE ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF A MOSTLY PEACEFUL PROTEST THAT PEOPLE ARE CALLING AN INSURRECTION.
But since no one has actually been charged with insurrection, I have to ask: Can you have an insurrection without insurrectionists?
THE PUPPET MASTERS ARE ALL ABOUT OBLIVION: ‘The King’s Man’ Forgets Its Own Franchise.
To mangle Jane Austen: for Marxists such as these, a good memory is unpardonable.
HEY, AUSTRIA IS SO CLOSE TO FRANCE, SURELY THEY CAN BORROW THAT GUILLOTINE FOR THE WEEKEND! Austrian Climate Researchers Excited About Manipulating the Minds of Children.
Turns out liberty requires a lot of…. ah…. routine maintenance.
ACTUALLY…. NOT SO MUCH. THEY’RE MORE ALONG THE LINES OF A FOREIGN OCCUPYING FORCE: Who Are the Real Insurrectionists?
Which reminds me I should re-read Heinlein’s Puppet Masters. The amount of hate poured on that book in recent years is also very interesting. No. I don’t think these are aliens. except in the sense their minds are not American.
ON THE OTHER HAND, IF THE FRENCH HAVE ANY SELF PRESERVATION, THEY MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO LEND IT OUT: French President Emmanuel Macron Declares Unvaccinated as “Annoying, Non-Citizens”.
Come on guys! Aristo aristo a la lanterne is in your native language!
HEY, MY AUSTRALIAN MATES, I HEAR FRANCE HAS SOMETHING YOU CAN BORROW! Australia Northern Territory Goes Another Step Further, Unvaxxed Are Now Locked Out of Society.
IT’S HURTFUL AND DIVISIVE TO TELL US WE CAN’T PREACH OUR DIVISIVE CRAP! Emory Law Journal Refuses To Publish Scholarly Article Challenging “Systemic Racism” Finding It “Hurtful and Unnecessarily Divisive”.
Hey, France, if you’re not using that…..
DO YOU WANT THE ELECTRIC BOOGALOO? BECAUSE THAT’S HOW YOU GET THE ELETRIC BOOGALOO: 2022 Desperation: Dem Lawyer Marc Elias Threatens Lawsuits To Disqualify GOP House Members.
BIDEN BELIEVES MANY THINGS: Biden Believes the Omicron Surge Is Still ‘Pandemic of the Unvaccinated’.
Like, that kids smell delicious. But his Junta believes even stranger things. Like Marxism.
Aristo, aristo, a la lanterne.*
*Unless #teamheadsonpikes gets there earlier.
HE SHOULD HAVE FREAKED OUT LONG BEFORE THIS: MSNBC Host Freaks Out After Being Denied Indoor Service Because His Four-Year-Old Was Not Vaxxed.
Welcome to the party, pal. Learn to shout “Aristo, aristo a la lanterne” and don’t put ships in your hair, or you’ll be the one a la lanterned. I’d say right now it’s almost lanterns o’clock.
PROVE WE WEREN’T CONQUERED BY A FOREIGN POWER, WOMAN! SHOW YOUR WORK: Milan Kundera on national memory.
Sorry, but international socialists are by definition a foreign power.
THEY NEED DISBANDED AND THE EARTH SALTED: Chicago Teachers Union Throws Another Tantrum.
Look, we’re going to need a salt-spreader for the fibs. It’s probably cheaper to do both at the same time.
WELL, FOR ONE WE STOPPED HAVING A MEDICAL SYSTEM: Lockdowns Kill: 40% Increase In Working Age (18-64) Non-Covid Deaths.
But for the left this is a positive. They hate people anyway.
AND NEVER FORGET CHICKENS ARE BASICALL DINOSAURS: Home to Roost.
BEHOLD MY FACE! IT IS SHOCKED: Supply Chain Issues Didn’t End At Christmas.
IF YOU WERE TAUGHT SOMETHING IN SCHOOL, ABOUT HISTORY OR ECONOMICS… The Lies We’ve Been Told.
I won’t tell you to trust but verify. Don’t trust. Verify, correlate and check everything you were taught. I’m continuously finding holes in stuff I was taught. For the last century most of our history, our books, our academics and definitely our education have been in the hands of Marxists and their dupes.
OH, THEY WANT US TO REMEMBER? FINE, WE’LL REMEMBER: Apple Pie.
And we won’t forgive. EVER.

LISTEN TO THE GODLIKE VOICE OF SCIENCE!!! Rochelle Walensky Said an Antigen Test Is a Good Tool for ‘Judging Infectiousness.’ Now She Says ‘Its Information Will Not Be Useful.’
Tufekci sees a parallel between the CDC’s current attitude toward antigen tests and its early resistance to masking as a safeguard against virus transmission. While public health officials initially said there was not enough evidence to support general use of face masks, it became clear that their real concern was the shortage of high-quality masks, which they thought should be reserved for health care workers. In this case, the U.S. is facing a government-engineered shortage of rapid antigen tests. Instead of forthrightly noting that reality, the CDC is rationalizing its testing advice by arguing that the tests are not really all that useful, even as it implicitly acknowledges that they are.
Walensky’s handling of this issue is of a piece with the CDC’s prior misrepresentations of COVID-19 science, which often seem motivated by a desire to defend whatever position the agency is taking at the moment. . . . None of this inspires confidence in an agency that Americans should be able to trust during a pandemic.
It’s clowns all the way down, all shrieking “Follow the science!”
ACTUALLY, SEVERAL CHAPTERS ARE MISSING: The missing chapter of “holding all January 6 rioters accountable.”
With all of that said, let’s consider the other side of the reality coin for a moment. Those rioters attacked a federal building, albeit a historic one central to our federal government. But the past few years have seen many attacks that fall into the same category. What about the crowds of rioters who attacked police stations and federal government buildings in multiple cities? They set some of those buildings ablaze and thoroughly destroyed others. They too attacked law enforcement officers and “damaged our democracy” in equal fashion. The sum total of the property damage resulting from the BLM riots makes the damage to the Capitol Building on January 6th look like chump change.
Where are the calls to “hold all of the perpetrators accountable?” It’s a laughable question if you’ve been following the news at all. Portland was one of the cities that was hardest hit for the longest period of time. There were reams of video data out on social media that should have made it child’s play to identify most of the rioters and track them down. Just imagine if the federal government had gone after them with the same zeal.
And yet, as the Wall Street Journal reported, by last August only a relative handful of people were ever arrested or charged. And of that paltry group, more than half of them had all charges against them mysteriously dropped. Those riots were also attacks on our democracy and our system of law and order. And the same people screaming about accountability for January 6th largely haven’t uttered a peep about it. Some have gone so far as to defend the perpetrators. Apparently, the level of culpability you bear and the pressure that will be applied to bring you to justice are situational, based largely on which party line you vote on.
Nothing here is about justice. Like the Rittenhouse trial, it’s all about empowering lefty thuggishness while trying to use the power of the state to neutralize the right. People who spent over a year cheering on violent rioters have no standing to complain about one mostly-peaceful protest here, even if they pretend to think it was an “insurrection.”
NOBODY HAS BEEN MORE SHAMELESSLY SELFISH — AND MORE OBVIOUSLY DISPENSIBLE — THAN THE TEACHERS’ UNIONS AND THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS THEY DOMINATE: More liberals are turning against school closures — and teachers unions too? Of course, the Democratic Party has no choice here: “Democrats can’t survive without union support. Whatever rift ends up opening between the party and the degenerates who voted last night to harm kids in Chicago will be papered over in time.”
COONMAN STAYS TRUE TO CHARACTER: Northam to Virginia drivers: That epic snowjam was your fault, not mine.
