KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Enemy of the People Media and the Insurrection That Never Was. “President LOLEightyOneMillion and his puppetmasters are working overtime to pin the boss’s incompetence on Vlad the Invader. The Democrats want us all to move into an alternative reality in order to deflect from the disaster that they’ve visited upon the Republic in the form of one Joseph Robinette Biden.”

YOU’RE GONNA NEED A MUCH BIGGER BLOG: The big problem with the cryptocurrency regulations Biden just signed. “Bitcoin’s independence is due to its decentralization and complicated blockchain technology. Understanding the nuances of that technology isn’t important for those outside the industry, but it’s just important to know that, when properly stored, Bitcoin is non-confiscatable. In other words, the government can’t seize it or take it away from you. It can’t ban ‘problematic’ people from Bitcoin. It can’t seize your assets if they are held in Bitcoin. (Held properly!) Is it any wonder the federal government is moving to crack down on crypto? Just don’t fall for the Biden administration’s spin about how its forthcoming regulatory apparatus is to ‘protect consumers’ from cryptocurrency. It’s much more likely motivated by the federal government’s desire to keep our currency and financial freedom firmly under its control.”

 

ON SUNDAYS I HAVE A POST IN WHICH I PROMO MOSTLY INDIE AUTHORS:  Writing Challenge and Book Promo.

What do you mean today is not Sunday?* Where did the week go?

*Kidding. I know it’s not Sunday. Turns out I thought I had no submissions to this on Sunday.  I had a few, but the internet hamsters had stuck them in a new and heretofore unknown junk folder (not the regular junk folder.)  Well, they’ve been found and lined now.

PJ MEDIA VIP ROUNDUP: Don’t forget that VODKAPUNDIT promo code if you’ve been thinking of joining us.

Megan Fox: Every Time a Patriotic Country Boy Says ‘No’ to Foreign Wars, Adam Kinzinger Cries. “Something is happening, and the World War III advocates don’t like it one bit. UFC fighter Bryce Mitchell is trending on Twitter and was invited on Tucker Carlson after his remarks on the Russian war went viral. For some reason, sports reporters thought it was a good idea to ask an athlete what he thinks about the Russia/Ukraine conflict. They weren’t prepared for the answer they got.”

Robert Spencer: The Top Ten Scapegoats Biden Has Blamed for His Failures. “Since he started pretending to be president, Biden has blamed an endless series of scapegoats for his steadily spreading dumpster fire. It’s virtually everyone’s fault but his, and he has consistently made sure that Americans have a steady and sober regard for the suffering of their noble, selfless, heroic president, constantly let down by venal, self-serving opportunists and worse.”

Yours Truly: ‘The Batman’ Review: Almost a Masterpiece, Sometimes Frustrating. “Starring the unfairly maligned Robert Pattinson (from those awful Twilight movies), The Batman dares to have ‘The World’s Greatest Detective’ do what no Batman movie had him do before: Actual detective work.”

Plus: It’s the Return of Florida Man Friday.

TO BE FAIR, THAT’S JUST BECAUSE SO MUCH OF EDUCATION IS RUN BY IDIOTS: RealClearInvestigations: Even With ‘Defund the Police’ Discredited, Some Schools May Still Shun the Police.

The deadly drive-by shooting now hovers over the decision by Des Moines officials, along with about 30 districts across the country, to exile cops from schools. These moves were part of the “defund the police” movement that erupted after the murder of George Floyd in 2020. It’s a movement now reeling in the face of violent crime surging nationwide, punctuated by President Biden’s State of the Union vow last week to “fund the police.”

But in schools, at least, a decision to bring back cops — or “school resource officers,” as they are called — isn’t a slam dunk in places where students of color had been arrested at higher rates than whites.

Des Moines (population: 214,000) provides a case in point. So far its district, half of whose students are black or Latino, has not followed schools from Maryland to California heeding pleas to restore the SROs. Instead, Iowa’s capital city is rolling out a new community-engagement safety plan to replace the cops.

And that infuriates parents alarmed by school mayhem long before Floyd’s death moved racial justice to the front burner — parents like Lindsay LaGrange. The Des Moines mom reached her breaking point in November after a student in her son’s middle school was found with an airsoft pellet gun on campus. “My son turned in this boy to the front office, and then later this boy beats up my son after school,” she said. “Almost every day he said there’s another fight at school. The kids are not safe.”

Well, that’s because keeping kids safe isn’t a priority.

Then again, neither is educating them. So why do we have public schools, exactly?

ON HER KNEES: Kamala Proves the Peter Principle.

(I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, but seriously. The site is the American Thinker. They didn’t think about that headline. And yes, I know what Peter’s principle is. Still.)

THIS WAS ALWAYS GOING TO HAPPEN DUE TO COVIDIOCY:  Global Governments Begin Warning of Critical Food Shortages.

Also socialism. Look, someone explain to the idiots the only way for them to keep their European socialist paradises is if they leave America alone.  Because if we stop supporting socialism abroad, it’s going to get ugly. Particularly when we stop feeding the world.

PEAK STUPIDITY, SO FAR: A MOMENT OF PEAK STUPIDITY. “Where does Murphy think we get our solar panels? China controls over 70% of the world market, and that isn’t going to change–it’s hard to compete on price with slave labor. How about wind turbines? Seven of the ten largest wind turbine manufacturers are Chinese, and China controls 60% of global wind turbine production.”
