The Eye of the Beholder

Faucism

 “This man thinks you can take a blood sample and stick it in an electron microscope and if it’s got a virus in there, you will know it,” Mullis explained. “He doesn’t understand electron microscopy and he doesn’t understand medicine. He should not be in a position like he’s in.” [More]

Too bad pediatrician Amy is out. They could have gotten together and touched their faces.

One Big Autonomous Zone

The new curriculum, which will eventually be promulgated throughout the California school system of 6 million children, would “critique empire and its relationship to white supremacy, racism, patriarchy, cisheteropatriarchy, capitalism, ableism … and other forms of power and oppression,” according to the proposal. It would “build new possibilities for post-imperial life that promotes collective narratives of transformative resistance.” [More]

So that explains it!

And treason charges for any Nazi who objects!

Why it took this woman this long to realize who the real totalitarians are is left unsaid. Noting she's a Jewish transplant from Russia and a San Francisco Democrat, where are the indications that she has repudiated the sympathies that have enabled the political and cultural terraforming?

The Gatekeepers of Knowledge

YouTube Demonetizes the Epoch Times [More]

I guess if you won't allow alternative thought and purge everyone who thinks that way, you can't help but achieve "unity and healing" for the remaining population that has not yet been herded into the chutes.

Silver Lining -- For Now

Prognosis2% chance of being enacted according to Skopos Labs... [More]

I thought I'd already posted on H.R. 127: Sabika Sheikh Firearm Licensing and Registration Act, but now can't find it, and several of you have sent me copies of the bill. I always like to look at GovTrack for their prognosis-- we'll see how that proves out, what with the eye-rolling gun-grabber feeding frenzy forming. 

It figures ol' 10-Box Sheila would try for more edicts following yet another "gun-free zone" slaughter, what with the Houston Chronicle using it as an opportunity to imply blame for "the pervasiveness of gun culture in Texas," to imagine the bullying of "a Muslim girl with brown skin" that no one says ever happened (but nonetheless implying xenophobia and racism in a "conservative" community), all the while extolling the virtues of "gun-free," tranquil and tolerant Pakistan.

All That's Missing is a Food Fight

One volunteer alleged that the 22-year-old CEO had pocketed vaccine doses. Another described a “free-for-all” where unsupervised 18- and 19-year-olds vaccinated one another and posed for photos. [More]

Philadelphia?

I gotta go with Tommy Lee here.

Good for the Goose

 Philosophically, one can ask whether it would be advisable or appropriate to publish a book titled "How to Blow Up a Book Publisher." [More]

What, remind them (again) of Bill Clinton's rules of engagement...?

The Fourth Turning

 Winter has arrived with a ferocity born of the deceptions of powerful men, and we will need to marshal all our strength and fortitude to survive the coming tempests. [More]

All we need to weather it is trust, right?

We're the Only Ones Self-Policing Enough

 St. Louis County Police getting training for reporting misconduct [More]

I never realized you needed special education to not stay quiet about authoritarian abuse. I guess that's why they're the highly-trained professionals...

Bare Those Throats!

 DC Mayor Bowser Demands Businesses “Pull Down” Boards Erected To Defend Against BLM Rioters. [More]

Not that the city will then be obligated to protect them or compensate them for damages from failure to do so...

[Via bondmen]

Because Reality is Racist

 Rhode Island Professor Says Science, Statistics And Technology Are "Inherently Racist" [More]

And he sees "nothing wrong" with murdering conservative protestors?

Funny, the types there's never a demand to cancel...

[Via bondmen]

We're the Only Ones Double-Dipping Enough

 Married police chief exposed on city’s Facebook for having two mistresses [More]

Triple-dipping...?

I've always wondered how someone who won't keep his vows can be trusted to keep his oath.

Speaking of Enemies Within

Nancy Pelosi calls armed Republican members of Congress 'the enemy within' and accuses them of threatening Democrats as lawmakers demand more cash for security ... Lawmakers want flexibility to spend their tax payer funded office accounts to upgrade security in their homes and have personal guards ... They also want their home addresses to be kept a secret... [More]

I love the way "toning down the rhetoric" helps bring about "unity and healing."

Told ya she doesn't really mind guns.

A One-Two Combination

 Did America's Anti-Cop Movement Lead To Largest Homicide Increase In US History? [More]

And they have one other thing in common...

[Via bondmen]

The Keeper Has Spoken

 Facebook Says No More Ads For Movement To Recall Gavin Newsom [More]

You know the drill.

I'm surprised this does not run afoul of any election laws, kind of like an in-kind contribution considering the value of the ads rejected...

The Death of Stalin

 I need to find 47 minutes to view this documentary. [Watch]

Hollywood aside, I thought the movie was a hoot.

An Idea Whose Time Has Come?

A BILL TO BE ENTITLED AN ACT relating to proposing a referendum to the people of the State of Texas on the question of whether this state should leave the United States of America and establish an independent republic. [More]
Careful. Abusive "partners" who won't let you leave are going to call you a treasonous insurrectionist.

They've already begun the doxxing and the ridicule.


TANGENTIALLY-RELATED UPDATE: An Increasingly Fragile Empire

We're the Only Ones Nonaggressive Enough

 The Houston Cop Charged With Murdering Dennis Tuttle During a Disastrous Drug Raid Portrays His Victim As the Aggressor - After breaking into Tuttle's home with no legal justification, police killed his dog and his wife. [More]

Everybody gets why "Republican" Art Acevedo, seen here armed, is all in for expanding citizen disarmament?

If That Were True There Could Be No Enemy Combatants

"This is not about you like guns so you're on my side." [Watch]

Not that I expect everyone to grok that.

There's a saying I first heard decades ago that too few people seem to consider: It's not about guns. It's about freedom.

Capitol Idea!


“In light of recent events, I can unequivocally say that vast improvements to the physical security infrastructure must be made to include permanent fencing, and the availability of ready, back-up forces in close proximity to the Capitol." [More]

Forget all the old arguments.

So how many horses and hounds can we have again...?

Imagemaker Fail

 FLASHBACK: Media fawned over Cuomo's 'leadership' during COVID as NY nursing home scandal brewed [More]

There's an "Andrew Cuomo's 'Leadership'" update to an old Ted Kennedy bumper sticker in here somewhere...

None Dare Call It Hate Speech

AOC says that "there are legitimate white supremacist sympathizers that sit at the heart and at the core of the Republican caucus in the House of Representatives" and that "@GOPLeader  Kevin McCarthy answers to these Qanon members of Congress, not the other way around." [More]

So they all want to destroy Greene for past comments but not only let this communist get away with slander intended to stoke violence against Republicans and whites but encourage and amplify it?
