AMERICA’S NEWSPAPER OF RECORD: CDC Director Now Says To Just Do Whatever Texas Did 12 Months Ago. “‘Yeah, we were pretty much wrong about literally everything. Sorry about that!’ said CDC Director Rochelle Walensky to the press. ‘It would seem the official science has changed. We should now be doing whatever Texas has been doing for over a year. To be clear, this doesn’t mean Texas is good. They’re still bad and we hate them. We just want to make sure that’s understood.’ The gathered journalists then began to scream towards the sky and hyperventilate at the thought of returning to some degree of normalcy, as well as the thought of Texans actually being right about something.”

THE MOTE IN DISNEY’S EYE: Disney+ orders series on protector of Anne Frank’s family.
Israel’s Keshet Studios is set to produce a series for Disney+ on Miep Gies, a woman who helped hide Anne Frank and her family from the Nazis.
The show will be titled “A Small Light” after a famous quote from Gies, who once declared “I don’t like being called a hero because no one should ever think you have to be special to help others.”
“Even an ordinary secretary or a housewife or a teenager can turn on a small light in a dark room.”
Gies played a crucial role in bringing Anne Frank’s story to the world – she was the one who discovered the record Anne kept of her time in the Secret Annex, the area where the Frank family and a number of other Jews were hidden.
Sounds great — but don’t hold your breath waiting for Disney to cover these 21st century concentration camps: Disney Defends Mulan Filming Near [Uighur] Internment Camps In China.

DENVER: Utility bills from Xcel are 37% higher this winter. “Nationally, most customers are dealing with the same bump in household utility prices. Colorado utility providers Black Hills Energy and Atmos Energy have both acknowledged similar price increases. All hold responsible a spike in natural gas prices.”
We’ve had a remarkably mild fall and winter on the Front Range, too.
A White House official warned reporters to not even “think about” asking President Joe Biden questions as the president began a round table event at the White House on Wednesday.
Biden was meeting with CEOs of energy companies in an effort to push his Build Back Better agenda, which is dead in the water in Congress. Reporters began shouting questions to Biden as he concluded his opening remarks and staffers began herding the press corps out of the room. White House pool reporters say one aide was concerned Biden would start taking questions. The aide warned a reporter, who was lingering in the room.
“Don’t think about it, Matt,” she said, according to the pool.
Even before Biden’s brain decomposed into tapioca, he’s had a notoriously punitive relationship with journalists, despite most of them being his party’s operatives with bylines:
● Joe Biden Snaps at Another Female Reporter.
● Biden Snaps At Reporter For Asking About Bombshell New York Post Reports, Does Not Deny.

CRISES BY DESIGN: By Design, Biden’s Border Crisis Actually His Biggest Success.
Biden gives illegal immigrants free tickets to ride buses that whisk them deep into the U.S. interior. Illegal aliens in Brownsville, Texas, score free cab rides to the airport, whereupon they jet off to Atlanta, Houston, and other cities.
Still other illegal aliens—including single adult males—board clandestine night flights that land after closing time in New York’s Westchester Airport and other airfields. As if in a “Saturday Night Live” sketch, illegal aliens without papers may use their arrest warrants as IDs to board aircraft. Specifically, this is Immigration and Customs Enforcement Form I-200, Warrant for Arrest of Alien.
And these are just the illegal immigrants that Customs and Border Protection intercepted. Biden let an estimated 500,00 “got-aways” get away. Where are they? Who knows?
Biden has had an entire year to improve this rapidly deteriorating mess. Instead, he hasn’t lifted a cuticle.
Having done nothing about this for a year, one must conclude that this is what Biden wants.
But why? Why would Biden willfully obliterate the U.S.-Mexico boundary and vacuum millions of illegal immigrants north?
Oh, that question is easy to answer:
● Jared Bernstein, member of Biden’s Council of Economic Advisors: “One thing we learned in the 1990s was that a surefire way to reconnect the fortunes of working people at all skill levels, immigrant and native-born alike, to the growing economy is to let the job market tighten up. A tight job market pressures employers to boost wage offers to get and keep the workers they need. One equally surefire way to sort-circuit this useful dynamic is to turn on the immigrant spigot every time some group’s wages go up.”
● Former Trump administration senior adviser Stephen Miller: Biden’s Immigration Plan Would “Erase America’s Nationhood.”
● “Labour wanted mass immigration to make UK more multicultural, says former adviser. Labour threw open Britain’s borders to mass immigration to help socially engineer a ‘truly multicultural’ country, a former Government adviser has revealed.”
