ANALYSIS: TRUE. The World Health Organization Does Not Deserve the Nobel Peace Prize. “The Nobel jurors in Norway should be honoring the pandemic’s true heroes, starting with an obvious candidate across their border: Anders Tegnell, the state epidemiologist of Sweden. While the WHO and the rest of the world panicked, he kept calm. While leaders elsewhere crippled their societies, he kept Sweden free and open. While public-health officials ignored their own pre-Covid plans for a pandemic—and the reams of reports warning that lockdowns, school closures, and masks would accomplish little or nothing—Tegnell actually stuck to the plan and heeded the scientific evidence. Journalists pilloried him for not joining in the hysteria, but he has been proven right.”

THAT MEANS WE’RE IN ONE: White House Refuses to Say What Its Definition of a ‘Recession’ Is.
DO TELL: Woke military policies drive down recruitment, Army falling far short.
Also the Afghanistan debacle. When you casually create the greatest military defeat and humiliation in U.S. history and then pronounce it a success, people aren’t excited about dying for you.
IT OBSERVES THE SUN IN SIX X-RAY AND EXTREME-ULTRAVIOLET CHANNELS: NOAA satellite can forecast space weather, show sun eruptions.
THIS IS A SLANDER AGAINST JUNGLES EVERYWHERE: The law of the jungle’: Afghan women live in terror after US withdrawal.
YEAH – TOO HOT. GROCERIES HATE THAT IN CUSTOMERS: Influencer Iara Ferreira claims she was kicked out of supermarket for being ‘hot’.
Obviously. Needless to say this happens to me all the time. I haven’t been able to buy anything in a grocery store in years. (Snort, giggle.)
CANADA FALLS DEEPER IN MY ESTIMATION: Air Canada flew man’s cats to San Francisco — then told him to go get them.
BUT WHAT ABOUT THE CARBON FOOTPRINT? PERHAPS WE OUGHT ALL SLEEP ON BEDS FORMED OF EPA REPORTS: Temperature-controlled pillow and mattress ‘trick’ you into sleep.
WELL, OF COURSE HE IS: NYC Mayor Adams Still Trying to Blame Other States for the Influx of Illegal Immigrants.
Has he figured out yet how many of those are Venezuelans, inoculated against socialism? No. Well, it will be fun when he does!
ARE THEY ECONOMISTS? Biden’s White House: Who’s to Say What a Recession Is? Well, We Are. We Say What a Recession Is.
And We Say This Isn’t One, So Stuff It.
AND HERE, I THOUGHT SHE WAS IGNORANT! Kamala Harris is a Biologist: “I am a Woman”.
OH PLEASE, IT’S CNN, THE CIRCULAR NEWS NETWORK. IT’S NEITHER INFORMATION NOR DISINFORMATION. IT’S WISHFULMATION: Information or Disinformation? CNN Report On SCOTUS Abortion Leak Seems Designed To Point Finger At Conservative Justices.
They want it to be one of the conservative justices, so they say it is. They’re wish casting again. It’s leftists. Remember when they tried to levitate the Denver Mint? They think wishing makes things so.
I WISH WE’D LOCK FAUCI DOWN. AND THROW AWAY THE KEY: Fauci Wishes We Had Locked Down Harder In 2020.
AT THIS POINT I FEEL LIKE JUST SAYING “WE KNOW. WE KNOW”: DOJ, FBI Accused Of Burying Hunter Biden Laptop Info.
It’s like accusing the Democrats of stealing elections….
WELL! IT’S A SPACIAL FLOUNCE! Russia Quitting The International Space Station In 2024.
I TOO ASK FOR A PHYSICAL MENU. I DON’T SEE WELL ENOUGH TO CHOOSE ON MY PHONE: I Hate This.
CAN WE EAT NYT COLUMNISTS FIRST? Are we entering the cannibalism era?
Does marinating in lemon with a soupcon of garlic take away the taste of stale Marxism?

EVERYTHING IS GOING SWIMMINGLY: US home prices to plunge ‘substantially’ on ‘cratering’ demand. “Ian Shepherdson, a chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, noted that single-family home listings have surged by 40% in the last four months even as unit sales plummet due to sky-high prices and rising mortgage rates. Given current conditions, US home prices are likely ‘about 15 to 20% overvalued’ compared to incomes, according to Pantheon’s calculations – setting the table for major declines.”
OPEN THREAD: It’s not your first rodeo.
AMERICA’S NEWSPAPER OF RECORD: Joe Biden Signs ‘Don’t Say Recession’ Bill.
THE NEW SPACE RACE: Second module docks at China’s space station, large rocket stage tracked in orbit. “The Wentian module had a mass at takeoff of 23,000 kilograms and is designed to host a range of science cabinets for on-orbit experiments. It also provides backup life support and propulsion for Tianhe, which launched in April 2021, and provides new working and living quarters and an EVA hatch for astronauts.”
JUST THINK OF IT AS EVOLUTION IN ACTION: “Some people in the US are rushing to get sterilized after the Roe v. Wade ruling.”
But if you’re a married man who wants a vasectomy, you may need a permission note from your wife.
JIM TREACHER: #Peson Isn’t the New #Covfefe Because Biden Isn’t a Republican.
“Peson”? What’s a “peson”? Is that anything like a person? Is that what you meant, Mr. President? Haw haw haw haw haw!!!
Etc.
Does this matter? No. It’s just a typo. So was “covfefe.” Trump made a typo, and five years later some White House staffer made a typo and nobody caught it. Neither one matters.
But the journos attack Republicans and defend Democrats, always and for any reason, and they don’t care how stupid it makes them look.
Then they wonder why we don’t trust them.
And express their wonderment with articles such as this Vanity Fair piece: Will Republicans Shut Out the Press in 2024? GOP politicians are increasingly shirking sit-down interviews, barring journalists from 2022 events, and skipping debates—an aversion to media scrutiny that could upend how the next presidential election cycle is covered.
NO, DR. FAUCI, NOT YOU: It’s Time to Award the Covid Nobels. The frontrunner in betting markets for this year’s Nobel Peace Prize is the World Health Association for its handling of the Covid pandemic. Given the WHO’s disastrous performance, this choice makes about as much sense as giving the prize to Vladimir Putin. The Nobel should go to the true heroes of the pandemic, starting with Anders Tegnell, the state epidemiologist of Sweden.
My City Journal article tells how Tegnell and his mentor fought the lock-downers and mask zealots, allowing Swedes to go on with their lives while enjoying one of the world’s lowest rates of excess mortality over the course of the pandemic. In locked down America, the mortality rate soared among younger adults, most of whom died from from non-Covid causes. But younger Swedes were spared. If it hadn’t been for Tegnell and a few other heretics in places like Florida, we wouldn’t have the clear evidence to stop the WHO and Anthony Fauci’s disciples from doing even more damage in the next pandemic. Tegnell deserves a Nobel, and do a few others I nominate.
