A MEDIA OUTLET FABRICATING CORRUPTION CLAIMS? THAT’S HARD TO BELIEVE! I MEAN, IT’S NOT AS IF HE WERE A REPUBLICAN: Boston-area reporter ‘fabricated corruption claims’ against mayor, lawsuit says.
WHEN DEMOCRATS TALK UNITY THEY MEAN “REMEMBER YOUR PLACE, PEASANTS!”: Biden to call for unity in State of the Union — after year of White House bashing the GOP.
AT THIS POINT, WE NEED ALTERNATIVE LEARNING INSTITUTIONS: Today’s blacklisted American: Leftist professor fired by university for questioning its racist agenda.
THAT MEMBERS OF A PSYCHEDELIC ROCK BAND SHOULD TURN OUT TO BE UNSTABLE IS A SHOCK: Pink Floyd and the Gilmour-Waters spat: even crazier than I thought.
Behold, my shocked face.
Look, kids, we’re not going to show you videos of frying eggs. We’re not millionaires. But drugs are bad, m’kay?
WHEN EVERYTHING IS RACIST: Another racist plot.
Nothing is.
EW. NOT EVEN UFOs WOULD PROBE THAT: House Republicans to Probe Climate Czar John Kerry’s Negotiations with China.
Oh, his negotiations. Not him.
Fine, fine, fine. Add him to the Disney container ships.
AGAIN, GUYS, IT’S GOOD BUSINESS TO SEND PURCHASERS WHAT THEY BOUGHT: Disney Cartoon Pushes Claim America is Racist, Repeats ‘Hands Up, Don’t Shoot’ Lie.
Send Disney to China. Add the Obamas, Bidens and Pelosis to make up the weight. Oh, and Fartswell too.
DEPART FROM US IN PEACE. AND LET US FORGET YOU WERE EVER WORTHY OF FREE MEN: Disney Pulls Simpsons Episode in Hong Kong Due to Line About China’s ‘Forced Labor Camps’.
Or, IOW, send Disney to China in container ships. All of it. Remember to punch air holes in the containers. No reason for needless cruelty.
However, I believe in giving purchasers what they bought.
FOR THE LOVE OF BOB. THE LEFT TOOK OVER PUBLISHING ALMOST 100 YEARS AGO: The left took over an important cultural institution while you weren’t looking.
And little golden books have had leftist overtones as long as I’ve known them.
The left is just less competent now, so it’s more obvious.
IT STARTS WITH FALSIFIED ELECTIONS: Denver – Rocky Mountain High to Rocky Mountain Hellhole.
Also, quoting from The Puppet Masters: They’re too stupid to keep slaves.

HE’S SHOWING MORE BACKBONE THAN I HAD EXPECTED: McCarthy to U.S. Chamber: Of course you realize, this means war. “This is not your Uncle John Boehner’s Kindly Congress, and the two Republican House leaders aren’t playing, period.”
Well, good.
HARSH, BUT FAIR:
Helping a senile old racist eat applesauce everyday isn’t quite “teaching full time.” https://t.co/aQNkxeyfDP

I HOPE WE’RE NOT TOO MESSIANIC, OR A TRIFLE TOO SATANIC: CBS Deletes ‘Ready to Worship’ Tweet After Blowback.
Turns out, one of America’s biggest TV networks saying it was “ready to worship!” right before a literally Hellish performance didn’t go over so well. The blowback was quick, with the normal criticism from the left of those who dared to object to what was considered objectionable. Apparently the whole “my feelings are more important than your rights” schtick is a one-way street for leftists. Who would’ve thought it?
But the pressure from those who found CBS’ tweet about Smith’s performance to be unbecoming worked, because by Tuesday morning CBS had deleted its tweet:
Since 1964 at least, I’m sure a certain number of conservatives have viewed CBS as having Satanic leanings. It’s good to see them finally confirm them, if only for a few hours or so. But this nostalgia is even older than that depicted in CBS’s 1970s series, The Waltons. That was a show set 40 years prior, during FDR’s Depression. Smith’s satanic posing has roots dating back over half a century!
UPDATE: Speaking of which:

OPEN THREAD: Play nice, kids.
IT’S COME TO THIS: North Dakota town rejects Chinese project near US military base after Biden administration refuses to act.
A small city in North Dakota rejected a Chinese government-linked agricultural project located right near a key U.S. military drone base after the Biden administration refused to act against the “significant threat to national security.”
Early last year, Fufeng Group, a massive agricultural company with strong ties to Beijing, purchased 370 acres as a location for its new wet corn mill near the Grand Forks Air Force Base.
After months of consideration, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States declined to block the project despite urging from North Dakota’s Republican senators and other congressional Republicans on Capitol Hill. However, the Grand Forks City Council stepped in on Monday to unanimously block the Fufeng project from moving forward. The vote came just days after a Chinese spy balloon was allowed to traverse the U.S., including floating over a Montana military base, before being shot down off the coast of the Carolinas.

The Grand Forks base is one of the key locations for the RQ-4 Global Hawk drone, a “remotely piloted aircraft with intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities” used by the U.S. around the world.
Last year, dozens of House Republicans also warned top Biden Cabinet secretaries about the “alarming” efforts by the Chinese government-linked company.
When the sale was first announced last year, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, also a Republican, initially told the Grand Forks Herald that “with Fufeng in Grand Forks, it will be North Dakota — not China — that reaps the benefits of the jobs, facilities, economic activity and tax revenue.”
And the spying and sabotage from the CCP as well.
FASTER, PLEASE: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott unveils plan for statewide TikTok ban.
Abbott is moving forward on plans to ban state employees from using the popular video-sharing app TikTok. On Monday, the Republican leader unveiled a statewide model security plan outlining objectives for state agencies to “address vulnerabilities presented by the use of TikTok and other software on personal and state-issued devices.”
Following a December 2022 directive from Abbott prohibiting employees from downloading or using TikTok, which is owned by Chinese company Bytedance Ltd., on government-issued devices. He also ordered the Texas Department of Public Safety and Texas Department of Information Resources to develop the plan to guide state agencies on managing personal and state-issued devices used to conduct state business. State agencies have until Feb. 15 to issue their own policies to enforce the statewide ban.

RAVING AND DROOLING: Pink Floyd’s Waters, Gilmour at war over ‘anti-Semitic, Putin apologist’ rant.
All in all, it’s just another brick in the wall.
The longstanding feud between former Pink Floyd frontmen Roger Waters and David Gilmour got even uglier Monday after the latter’s wife, novelist Polly Samson, lambasted Waters over alleged “anti-Semitic” remarks on Twitter.
“Sadly @rogerwaters you are antisemitic to your rotten core,” fumed “The Kindness” author, who became one of PF’s main lyricists after Waters left the band in 1985.
She also labelled the 79-year-old Pink Floyd co-founder a “Putin apologist and a lying, thieving, hypocritical, tax-avoiding, lip-synching, misogynistic, sick-with-envy, megalomaniac.”
It’s yet unclear what inspired the scribe’s online salvo. However Samson, 60, could have been reacting to a recent interview Waters did with Germany’s Berliner Zeitung, in which the rabble-rousing rock star doubled down on his prior comments analogizing the State of Israel to the Nazis over its treatment of Palestinians. Elsewhere in the interview, the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer had defended Russian President Vladimir Putin over his decision to invade the Ukraine.
She could also be responding to this: Will Roger Waters’ Explosive New Comments About Israel and Ukraine Sink a $500 Million Pink Floyd Catalog Sale?

JOHN HINDERAKER: At SOTU, expect an Amir Locke lie. “I don’t know whether Biden will talk about the Locke case tonight. If he does, what he says about the case will be a lie. And in any event, Ilhan Omar is using the case, and Locke’s parents as props, to advance a bad policy idea based on fabrications.”
I’m in favor of banning no-knock raids in drug cases and the like. Where lives are in danger, or where dangerous criminals are in hiding, I’m okay with them.
