We’ve witnessed on multiple occasions the casual ease with which the Biden administration will weaponize the federal government to attack political opponents. Of course, their old friends in the mainstream media and new friends in social media are hard at work for them.”

#JOURNALISM: “We have to be able to edit video, but where is the line between editing and deception? NBC tells us it has seen the edited and unedited video, but it doesn’t show any of it to us. I can’t take NBC’s word for it, because I must assume that NBC wants the Democratic Party to control the Senate and will run interference for Fetterman.”

Plus: “As for TikTok, I’m guessing what found its way there and gained viewers was funny. It’s unseemly to laugh at a politician if he has brain damage, but it seems unfair to claim to be capable of holding office and, at the same time, to forbid us to laugh because he might lack capacity. If it’s wrong to judge him, he shouldn’t be running for a position of trust.”

UNEXPECTED HEADLINES: Chess world rocked by rumours of anal beads and artificial intelligence.

Last week, world chess champion Magnus Carlsen, withdrew from a major tournament with a $350,000 prize money after his unexpected defeat by underdog Hans Niemann.

Norway’s Carlsen announced his withdrawal in a cryptic tweet with a video implying that Niemann had cheated. The tweet was accompanied by a video of Portuguese soccer manager, José Mourinho, saying, ‘I prefer really not to speak. If I speak, I am in big trouble.’

Other big names in the sport declared Niemann’s play ‘sus’, suspicions were raised further when Niemann admitted to cheating twice previously. Chess.com issued a statement that it had banned Niemann from its site over his alleged cheating.

Chess enthusiasts online have since gone on to speculate that Niemann may have been cheating with computer assistance and anal beads.

Let’s hope they get to the bottom of this.

#JOURNALISM: How the Media Fell for A Racism Sham: A Brigham Young University paper scooped the New York Times. All the students did was practice basic journalism. “For millions of people watching this story unfold, this was yet another example of the ineradicable stain of American racism, of just how little progress we’ve really made. Except it didn’t happen.”

The demand for white supremacy in contemporary America far exceeds the supply. And people have good reason for not trusting journalism anymore. Nowadays, my initial assumption on hearing a story like this is that it’s a fraud, and I’m almost always right.

HEH: “These people who have reached out — who have declared themselves a sanctuary — should say thank you to Governor DeSantis — thank you for facilitating transportation of the migrants to the welcoming shores of Martha’s Vineyard.”

UPDATE: Via a friend:

WELL, YES: Economic Freedom Falls in the United States, Global Report Shows.

The authors of the index recognize a key aspect of property rights is access to a currency that enables exchange. When government prevents access to solid currencies and engages in policies that cause the value of a national currency to fluctuate wildly, they are hampering access to sound money and impeding mutually beneficial exchange.

The authors measure money supply changes, inflation variables, and access to foreign currencies

The US is historically very high on this measure. The fact that the US dollar is the world’s reserve currency should tell us something about its soundness. In 2020 the sound money score fell from 9.75 to 9.63.

This may seem like a small change, but readers should note that this score is for 2020 — before massive inflation began.

The Left never  figured out how to suppress conservative Talk Radio, but they are steadily destroying dissent on the vastly more influential Internet and now they are targeting podcasts.

HAVE YOU HEARD WHAT BIDEN’S DOJ IS DOING TO EAGLE FORUM? This story isn’t getting the coverage it should. The DOJ has issued a subpoena to the Alabama chapter of Eagle Forum for, according to The Lid’s Jeff Dunetz, “any draft legislation, proposed legislation, or model legislation” and including “any social media postings.”

But wait, I thought all Americans, including each and every member of the Alabama chapter of the conservative activist group founded in the early years of the conservative movement by Phyllis Schlafly, is guaranteed by the Constitution’s First Amendment the right to speak his or her mind on political issues, to assemble with like-minded Americans on behalf of such views, and to petition the government for change?

To say a “housecleaning” is needed throughout DOJ doesn’t even begin to do justice (pun intended) to the stench of rotting respect for the Constitution in that department.
