THE WORST THING PELOSI IS DOING YOU’VE NEVER HEARD ABOUT: Pelosi used Covid as the excuse to establish a surveillance system giving her control over who can meet their representative in congressional offices. Read all about it in my latest PJ Media column. And don’t miss my suggestion on why it’s long past time for House GOPers to grow a pair and tell Pelosi “No!”

ANOTHER POLL FINDS PUBLIC DOUBTS JOE’S ALL THERE: Even a third of the Democrats responding to this one doubt His Fraudulency is in charge in the Oval Office.

FOURTH COVID VACCINE COMING: The “inventor” of the mRNA technology of the current Covid vaccines tells The Epoch Times’ Jan Jekielek that a new Covid vaccine is about to gain FDA approval and it doesn’t rely on the genetics technology of the current vaccines.

“There is a more traditional vaccine that’s about to, I think, gain emergency use authorization from Novavax. That’s also showed greater than 90% protection against disease and death. So that’s in line with what the genetic vaccines are showing.

And I think that that one offers options for those that are uncomfortable with the genetic vaccine strategy. And I know a lot of people that have been contacting me are interested in having an option, they’re uncomfortable with the genetic vaccines, and they’re interested in having an alternative that they can use. I think that Novavax could be a suitable alternative for them.”

Much more in this lengthy interview in which Malone explains, among much else, why he thinks the vaccine roll-out could have been done “more rigorously” and why it’s extremely significant that even the CDC is now beginning to acknowledge vaccine side effects that are not properly understood.

BIBLE IS RACIST. BECAUSE SCIENCE: The now-hilariously mis-named “Scientific American” claims those who deny evolution are white supremacists. No, I am not making that up. That’s what you get when you combine Critical Race Theory (CRT) with a crude caricature of the dominant explanation for human origins.

As The Federalist Kylee Zempel explains:

“If they can convince you not only that your Donald Trump-voting Christian neighbor is a racist but that the Bible itself is the epitome of white supremacy, they can ban it from polite society and ostracize anyone who would defend it. Critical race theory is good. Jesus is bad. Now cough up your hard-earned tax dollars so we can teach that to your kids.”

That’s it in a nutshell (no pun intended). Evolutionists of sound mind, common sense and a genuine commitment to real science should be flooding SA with protests.

ANOTHER ASYMMETRIC WARFARE ANGLE: Ever heard of the “Malaysian Troll Army”? Me neither, but  Washington Free Beacon’s Adam Kredo and Alana Goodman have the details today.

ETHICS AT HIS FRAUDULENCY’S EPA: Hey, Biden politically appointed EPA lawyer, you represented this party before coming to the agency? No problem.

ABOUT THE LEFT’S ANTI-SEMITISM: It keeps growing and growing, and Jeff Dunetz at The Lid has a pretty good idea why.

MAYBE US SHOULD JUST GIVE CALIFORNIA BACK: The productive people who make the Golden State the world’s fifth largest economy are already leaving in droves, and measures like this — a new Democrat proposal, as reported by Just the News, for spending $1.3 billion to enroll illegal immigrants who are 50 or older in Medicaid — will only accelerate the exodus.

COVID DEATH COUNTS INCLUDE THOSE FROM DELAYED SURGERIES? LifeSiteNews looks at a Canadian think tank’s analysis that finds more than 2,300 people died following delays in needed surgeries, delays occasioned by Covid-related restrictions in hospitals.

The actual total is likely much higher because data for four provinces and multiple medical associations/hospitals was not available for the analysis. LifeSiteNews also notes that one procedure was not delayed at all during the same period, abortions. Anybody aware of similar data for the U.S.?

FYI, FOR THOSE WHO MIGHT BE INTERESTED: HillFaith launches a new series of “HillFaith Studies” today with an eight-week look at Jesus’ “I am” statements about Himself. All are welcome, and at the end you can declare your answer to C.S. Lewis’s great trilemma: Lord, Liar or Lunatic.

TOUGH ROOM UPDATE: Never a dull moment! :-)

NO, PRIDE IN AMERICA IS FAR FROM DEAD: Contrary to pundits who say patriotism is a thing of the past, a new survey from Issues & Insights/TIPP finds that 68 of those surveyed profess to be either “very” or “extremely” proud to be Americans. Another 15 percent say they are “moderately” proud. With two-thirds of those surveyed, that’s a rather stout contingent of people who claim to be proud to be citizens of the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.

And look at the opposite end of the spectrum: Eight percent say they are “slightly proud,” and a mere six percent say they “aren’t proud at all.” That 14 percent likely comprises Ivy League professors and wannabes on other campuses, left-wing non-profit radicals, Democratic Party activitsts, BLMers, Fortune 500 human resources department operatives and the cranks down the street in your neighborhood.

And here’s perhaps the most striking result of the first survey collaboration between I&I and TIPP:

“Even among blacks and Hispanics, who are repeatedly described as victims of embedded American racism and intolerance, pride is strong. The poll found that 55% of blacks and 57% of Hispanics say they are either extremely or very proud to be Americans. Just 7% of blacks and 9% of Hispanics say they aren’t proud at all of their nationality.”

There is one down note in the result: The only age group to show less than a significant majority of responders professing pride in being American is the 18-24-year-old contingent, where only 36 percent did so.

Interestingly, the percentage jumped to 59 with the next age group, the 25-44 contingent, suggesting that the old maxim about youthful liberalism being abandoned as one acquires additional responsibility and maturity remains operative.

BIDEN’S COSTLY WHITE HOUSE PAYROLL: Open the Books dug into the data and found His Fraudulency has a bigger, more expensive White House payroll than any previous chief executive.

WHY THE SPLIT IN THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION IS INEVITABLE: America’s largest Protestant denomination is in a woke crisis and odds are it will not survive. I explain why in my latest PJ Media column.

JIMMY LAI’S STORY AND WHAT’S AT STAKE IN HONG KONG: Christopher Bedford of The Federalist has a compelling read on the life of the Hong Kong billionaire/publisher jailed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). How many of us have the grace-bought fortitude to endure what this man — and millions of other Catholic and Protestant Christians in China — are enduring?

GOTTA BE RIGHT CAUZ IT QUOTES GLENN: Kerry Jackson of Issues & Insight fame has a super piece in the Orange County Register on the Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision affirming the private property rights of farmers against union organizers. You know it’s a solid piece because a certain Tennessee law professor is quoted.

HOUSE GOPERS WANT NEW IRS PROBE: Three House Republicans, who will likely be in powerful positions after the November 2022 election, have asked the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) to investigate the recent IRS denial of a Christian civic group’s tax-exemption application.

FREEDOM MEANS WHAT TO YOU: Lots of competing definitions of this crucial word running around these days. Colson Center’s Sarah Stonestreet suggests defining terms is always a good idea when talking about freedom.

BIG LABOR LOSES A BIG ONE: Capital Research Center’s (CRC) Michael Watson assesses the ins and outs of the Supreme Court rejection last week of a California regulation that forced farmers to hand over their properties to union organizers for three hours a day a third of the year.

YOU KNEW THIS WAS COMING: Next, House Democrats want to raise their own pay.

DON’T MESS WITH TEXAS: That’s exactly what the Leftist revisionists are doing with their blatant misrepresentations of the facts about the 13 days at the Siege of the Alamo, and the Texas Public Policy Foundation’s Dr. Tom Lindsay says the latest illustration of this advancing rotteness in the American public square is found in Time magazine.

TUCKER CARLSON SAYS NSA IS SPYING ON HIM: The top-rated Fox News evening host says he has proof that what he was told by a National Security Agency (NSA) whistleblower is true.

RIGHT NON-PROFITS AIDED BY THE ‘GREAT RESIGNATION:’ Lots of private sector workers are leaving their jobs in search of better ones, but guess what, lots of them are taking positions with conservative non-profits. Claire Kittle Dixon of Talent Market, which specializes in placing for such foundations, explains this unexpected development from the pandemic

EXPLAIN THIS: Here’s a fact about Paul the Apostle that is not often discussed. For decades during his four missionary trips around the ancient world, he was in constant danger, often impoverished, whipped several times, run out of town at least twice, sick, trapped and nearly killed by rioters, scorned by the intellectual and political elite of his day, and often hungry.

Despite it all, he never stopped claiming that he had seen and talked to the risen Jesus on the road to Damascus, or that the encounter changed him from determined persecutor of Christians into their greatest missionary.

If he was a liar, he was one of the most determined in history. To dismiss him as deluded is speculative. What we cannot do is ignore him or his message because without him, it’s difficult to see the development of western civilization generally and the American constitutional perspective on government and individual liberty specifically.

HERE’S THE LEFT’S ROTTEN HEART: Peter Berkowitz ably assesses “After the Fall,” Ben Rhodes’ latest attempt to justify eight years of artful manipulation of the American public and the mainstream media on behalf of then-President Barack Obama.

But Berkowitz could have done it for The Washington Free Beacon in just two paragraphs, the first to remind readers of who Rhodes was and remains, and then this one, which appears in the review he did write:

“From ‘the lived reality’ of his White House years, Rhodes acquired ‘the feeling that a cancer was metastasizing everywhere despite our efforts to treat it.’ He traces the cancer to ‘the ways in which decades of American capitalism, technology, and the politicized pursuit of national security had ripened so many people in the United States and around the world for crude nationalist appeals.'”

You know, like “America First.”

WARNING AGAINST LIBERTARIANS BEARING GIFTS (FOR THE LEFT): No, argues The Federalist’s Gabe Kaminsky, the GOP need not cave to the Left on social or environmental issues in order to appeal to Gen Z.
