Hell Freezes Over at CNN

David Gregory blasts hypocrite Lefties who have not criticized Kavanaugh home protesters

 “I mean, activism has its place, of course, speaking out has its place too, but to threaten a Supreme Court Justice and his family outside of his home is beyond the pale. And the truth is that a lot of people on the left who are in political power are being so hypocritical about this. They lecture us all the time about the excesses of the right, including Donald Trump on January 6, fomenting mob violence, and yet they are out there countenancing — as they have with statements before — that it’s okay to stand outside these people’s homes.”

Overstocking at Target, Walmart, Amazon, and other big retailers are the latest unexpected red flag for what’s happening in the economy.

Rachel Maddow (Video): 

“Just a key point, that yes, there was a pro-Trump rally at which the president spoke. And we can absolutely talk about all the things the president said there. But the idea that that rally is the thing that got out of hand and that somehow resulted in the breaching of the capitol – that rally was very far from the Capitol and the people who, as you say, did the initial breach, that allowed everybody else to come in, they never even went to that rally.”

Time for the Democrats’ Chesa Boudin Moment!

"Start with the fact that Asians are the fastest-growing racial group in the country and Democrats have viewed their vote...as an uncomplicated and burgeoning asset for them. However, starting in 2020 there were troubling signs of attrition in Asian support for Democrats.... One problem has been that Asians are worried about public safety and leery of a Democratic party that has become associated with 'defund the police' and a soft approach to containing crime. Another has been that Asians, like Hispanics, are a constituency that does not harbor particularly radical views on the nature of American society and how it must be remade to cleanse it of intrinsic racism and white supremacy.... They are far more interested in how they and their families can get ahead in actually-existing American society. Finally... Asian voters... see [education] as the key tool for upward mobility.... But Democrats have become increasingly associated with an approach to schooling that seems anti-meritocratic, oriented away from standardized tests, gifted and talented programs and test-in elite schools.... This of course was a huge issue in San Francisco, where the School Board pushed this approach up to and including replacing the rigorous entrance test for the famed Lowell School with a lottery. That move, combined with the School Board’s bizarre obsession with an 'anti-racist' school renaming project even as schools remained closed and students suffered, angered Asian parents and others so much that they took the lead in successfully recalling three of the ringleaders of this approach, a clear precursor to the current recall.”

The Washington Post’s Descent Into Middle School Antics

And why we're building something new.


So whether the staffers and editors at places like the Times and the Post ignored the riots of summer 2020 while genuflecting to the lunatic idea that op-eds are violence because they were true believers in the new dogma or because they were careerists or because they were just plain scared only meant that some of them broke your heart more than others.

Science versus Scientism, Part I

Anthony Fauci, appropriately named as the “America’s high priest of scientism” by Everett Piper, has been dishonest with the American people throughout the COVID crisis, and has repeatedly substituted his opinions for scientifically-based factual information, directly contributing to one of the greatest losses of life, freedom and livelihood in the history of mankind. This is an embodiment of the true essence and nature of Scientism.

Defund the Police’ Narrative Crumbles as Big City Dems Make Fighting Crime Central to Election Campaigns

The vaccine is vaccinating against immunity, not the virus

As you can see, just one out of the 353 new hospitalizations over the preceding 14 days in Australia’s largest state was unvaccinated, where the patient’s vaccination status was known. Shockingly, 72.5% of the hospitalizations were among those with three or more shots. Again, we’ve seen the negative efficacy for contracting COVID for months, but we were told the protection against serious illness was still robust. According to these numbers, there does not appear to be any benefit, especially for the elderly people who need that protection the most. Moreover, 64 of the 96 new COVID deaths where the vaccination status was known were among those with three or more shots. Without age-stratified rates, we cannot conclusively prove negative efficacy against serious illness just from this data alone, but what is clear is that vaccination does not offer much protection, if any, and that’s before factoring in all of the risks and side effects.

COVID was deadly to working-class Americans in 2020

A study found that blue collar, service and retail workers who couldn’t work at home were far more vulnerable than those in higher-paying jobs.

NYT via Althouse

"Thousands Swept Up as Kremlin Clamps Down on War Criticism/The arrests are a stark gauge of how the Kremlin has intensified repression of critics. At least 50 people now face years-long prison sentences"

Althouse:  "This is terrible. It's happening in Russia. And yet, it's not that far from what is taking hold in the United States. We are losing our commitment to freedom of speech, and many of us have taken up the cause of suppressing what we think of as "false information." It's easy to see from a long distance that a crackdown on "false information" crushes the process of truth-seeking. I'd like to think that recognizing the destructive policy in this distant enemy country could help Americans see the need to restore our commitment to freedom of speech."

"It's rather clear that if the state makes psychiatrists into abortion gatekeepers, they will not exercise their power according to professional ethics."
