AND WE’RE NOT OPENING OUR ENTIRE ECONOMY BECAUSE?  Study: Only 10% chance of catching COVID from infected person within household.

SHE’S RIGHT, YOU KNOW?  Goals.

HIGHER EDUCATION IMPLOSION UPDATE:  Would this were a Purim joke: the tragicomedy at Smith College.

WELL…. SCHOOLS THAT TEACH CRITICAL RACE THEORY ARE: Opening Schools Is Now A Racist Construct.

IT’S NOT UNCONSCIOUS. OUR LEFT WENT MAOIST SOMETIME IN THE 90s:  Joe Biden: Unconscious Maoist.

You’d know that, if you read a lot of fluffy entertainment put out by the trad pub houses.  Cozy mysteries extolled Mao (and went against the wall) and sf/f talked of the great Chinese future.  Yeah. The Soviet Union fell and they switched their totalitarian crush to China. Which none of them understands is pretty much a beautiful lacquered vase…. all cracked under the lacquer.

RAND PAUL IS A DOCTOR. AND PUBERTY BLOCKERS ARE UNCONSCIONABLE:  Rand Paul Questions HHS Transgender Nominee’s Stance On Puberty Blockers.

THEY’RE NOT WRONG ABOUT WHERE WE ARE:  The Last Stop Before Thermopylae.

They’re insanely wrong about the solution. Getting the right to act like the left doesn’t solve anything, and might not even be possible. Beyond that, the current “elite” is that ONLY in their minds. They seized all the levers and positions of symbolic power, and they think that makes them special. But they’re a cargo cult following what has worked in other countries and not realizing culture matters. (Partly because they don’t understand what culture is.)
They’re best comparable to a dog who’s caught the bumper of a car and is holding on for dear life and not realizing it’s not winning. The left doesn’t even know where food comes from. And they’re quite unaware of the depth breadth and sheer contrariness of the “flyover states.” They got nothing.
As for normal people not being ready.  Oh, we’re ready. We lived through 2020. We know how desperate and crazy they are. And we’ve had just.About.Enough.
Yes, it’s late. It’s too late for everything they suggest. But it’s okay, because none of it would have worked, anyway.
They are however right about how messy it’s about to get.

WELL, YES:  Cancel Culture is Evil.

IT’S ALL THESE INCOMPETENT CLOWNS HAVE:  Distractions.

THEY’LL HIT THE SNOOZE BUTTON:  Mainstream Media Gets A Wakeup Call On Campus Stupidity.

Yes, I know it’s a short story. But there’s something special about a writer’s first-ever publication, so….  (He’s going to kill me when he sees this, but keep an eye on this young man all the same. I’ve known him for a few years. He’ll go far.)

FROM SCOTT SLACK:  Closing Time, Last Call.

When Corporal Frandsen’s marine battalion was tasked with retaking a space station from enemy forces, he expected a hard fight. What he got was a fight for his life with a time-limit that could kill his entire battalion. What is an enemy willing to risk to win a battle at any cost? Everything.

This is a short story that is currently stand-alone.

EQUITY IS A DEMAND FOR EQUALITY OF RESULTS:  The Insidiousness of ‘Equity Versus Equality’.

Along with a heaping spoonful of Gramscian class and race war. The left are either stupid, malevolent or…. yes.

IF YOU’RE MAKING SHOES FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE, YOU’LL BE A TERRIBLE COBBLER: The Thing And The Whole Of The Thing.

The same for every cause, industry and yes city captured for the left. Their pursuit of the system destroys everything in their path.

BEHOLD THOU MY SHOCKED FACE:  Giffords Law Center Score Card Ignores Truth About “Gun Deaths”.

WE DON’T BELIEVE THEM:  China Promises to Stop Giving Anal Swab Covid Tests to US Diplomats.

THERE’S A LOT OF RED PILLING GOING ON:  Naomi Wolf nails it on lockdowns and totalitarianism.

I WANT HEADS ON PIKES:  FBI Memos Using Stefan Halper Released, Show FBI Targeting Effort Against Trump Campaign Using Any Means Possible.

I’ll settle for defenestration. Doesn’t even have to be literal. Though I tell you at this point, I think every agency and apartment resembles the Augean Stables, and we don’t have a river handy.

WELL, THANK HEAVENS THAT WARMONGER TRUMP IS GONE, RIGHT?  Someone From the Biden Administration Bombed Syria – White House Silent.

THEY DEMAND OUR COWED AGREEMENT, BECAUSE THEY KNOW HOW MUCH THEY CHEATED:  Michael Anton has a question: Why Do the Election’s Defenders Require My Agreement?

UNFORTUNATELY NOT LITERAL…  More steps toward the defenestration of Andrew Cuomo?

As everyone knows, due to studying Portuguese history as a child, I have a very soft spot in my heart for defenestration.  There is nothing quite like having the teacher ask a class of fourth grade girls “What happened to the Spanish governor during the restoration?” and having the bright eyed, sweet little children sing in chorus “He was defenestrated!”

AS THEY SHOULD:  House Freedom Caucus Members Call on Cheney to Step Down From House Role.

THEY’RE ALWAYS SCARED OF ANYONE WHO IS BETTER THAN THEY ARE:  Biden Eviscerates More Trump Executive Orders.

They don’t seem to realize how low that bar is.
