LEFTIST TEARS:

Well, suck it, lefties.

He’s right about the US left having zero brain power, though, I gotta give him that.

UPDATE: Take the W, people.

THE MANDATE OF HEAVEN:

ELON AND MONEY — WHAT HIS LEFTIST CRITICS CAN’T COMPREHEND:

ANOTHER “CONSPIRACY THEORY” TURNS OUT TO BE TRUE: Tulsi Gabbard: Yes, There Were US Funded Biolabs in Ukraine. “Rather than tell the truth, assuming the funding was benign in intent, the press and the White House went into full propaganda mode and denied everything. Victoria Nuland, ironically, had told at least part of the truth briefly before the coverup went into overdrive, but as with COVID, the government, and especially the Biden administration, had an allergy to the truth.”

Plus:

So what do we know? Well, the funding stream dates back to the end of the Cold War. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russian bioweapons labs were in funding freefall, and Western powers wanted to ensure that the scientists didn’t sell viruses or their expertise, or that, through neglect, disasters didn’t happen.

So we poured money into both nuclear and biological research in the Soviet Union. Basically as preventative bribes and to exercise some control. Why that funding stream in Ukraine went on for decades, and why Ebola and SARS viruses were in Ukraine, is a serious question. But then again, we are talking about our federal government, run by idiots like Fauci, who do stupid things that kill people.

We did something similar with Soviet rocket scientists, to keep them from going to work for third world dictators making missiles. And:

What we don’t know is that these biolabs were actually conducting biowarfare experiments. Just because the government lied about the existence of these facilities for political reasons does not mean that the worst possible interpretation is correct, as many assume.

In other words, we don’t know what this means beyond the fact that the Biden White House lied, which just means that it was a day ending in “Y.”

They lied not so much because it was in their interest, as because it was in their nature. At any rate, I’m more concerned about the secret Chinese biolabs in the United States, working on pathogens.

WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE, THE TEA PARTY?

ICYMI: MY LATEST SUBSTACK ESSAY: Elon Musk is a Genius — and a Litmus Test.

“SpaceX’s IPO created 4,400 millionaires, according to the New York Times. Critics like Bernie Sanders, AOC, and Elizabeth Warren have created one each — themselves.”

RICHARD FERNANDEZ ON WHAT’S GOING ON WITH IRAN:

As I’ve said before, time is on the United States’ side here. And, by the way, I bought gas today for 63 cents a gallon less than two weeks ago. Has CNN’s gas-price chyron reported that change?
