DON'T BELIEVE YOUR LYIN' EYES: Claims that Facebook, Twitter and YouTube censor conservatives are 'not supported by the facts'.

Bull excrement.
AND YOU THOUGHT THE 'MOSTLY PEACEFUL' PROTESTS WERE OVER? Activists armed with hatchets, COVID relief demands arrested after 'taking over' Washington state hotel.
OH, COME NOW: "[T]he press is even worse at its job than ['Pseudodent'] Biden is at his."
ACCORDING TO HOYT: The poison pill of a $15 minimum wage.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Keep that in mind....
NOT LOOKIN' TOO GOOD, JOE: Here are the Rasmussen Presidential Approval indices for the first 60 days of the Obama (blue), Trump (red), and Biden (green) administrations. The Approval Index is the difference between 'Strongly Approve' and 'Strongly Disapprove'.
Usually the highest approval index comes in the first weeks of a new administration.

Biden has yet to reach zero.
EVIDENCE? WE DON'T NEED NO STINKIN' EVIDENCE! We're the mainstream Democrat media.
THE LESSON OF THE PAST YEAR is that politics is apparently more important than any loyalty to professionalism that anyone in our professions might possess.

The post is about COVID and hydroxychloroquine but the lesson (still unlearned) is far more general and important to our civic well-being.
THE DEMOCRATS ONLY REAL OBJECTION TO McCARTHYISM was that McCarthy was on the other side.

Read it all and follow the links.
IT LOOKS LIKE HE'S IN TROUBLE: Former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer has raised more than $1 million to oust California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Couldn't happen to a more deserving idiot....
WHEN THEY'RE ALL YOU HAVE: Double standards abound at The New York Times.
YOU, TOO, CAN BE JOHN GALT: Dare to be petty.

They're weakest in the wallet....
AFTER PENTAGON DECLARES CLIMATE CHANGE A NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT, our Space Force announces a preemptive attack on the sun.

Watch for the Space-X starships to be nationalized for the attack....
WHY ARE PROGRESSIVES SO ILLIBERAL? It's Victor Davis Hanson, so read it all.
THE CHICAGO TEACHERS UNION: "No one should have to choose between life and livlihood."
I am tired of hearing about how heroic teachers are. At this point, I would rather have my children taught by clerks at Total Wine stores than by members of teachers’ unions. At least the Total Wine clerks will show up.
The children would get a better education too....

UPDATE: Chicago mayor orders teachers to return to classroom as tug-of-war with union intensifies. But will she fire them? Don't bet on it.
YOU AIN'T SHIT IF YOU DON'T VOTE WITH US: Vice 'Pseudodent' Kamala Harris extends the middle finger to Sen. Joe Manchin [D-WV].

What's the over/under on him becoming a Republican? It would take a bit of spine on his part, but I suspect he may be thinking about growing one....
MINNEAPOLIS HAS A NEW PROPOSAL to address their 'Defund the Police' goal.
Rather than rely on a one-size-fits-all system that relies on police to simply respond to crime after it happens, this improved approach would more proactively and holistically address the causes of crime before harm is done -- and ensure police response is complementary to the City’s proven prevention and intervention approaches....
Emphasis mine. I especially like the 'proactive' part (meaning keep the boot on the neck of the proles) ....
RANDOM THOUGHT: How to make lots of money -- shill for Democrats.

One example. Unfortunately there are many, many more - on both sides of the political arena.
McCONNELL WARNS: I will go scorched Earth if Democrats nuke the filibuster.

Personally I hope he does even if the Democrats don't try to nuke the filibuster.
WHAT A SURPRISE: The big money always flows to the mandarins responsible for keeping the crisis active.
IMPRIMIS: Orwell’s 1984 and Today.

Today is worse. Because now Orwell's Thought Police really, truly exist.
A NATIONAL GUARDSMAN AT THE CAPITOL comments:
Last night I saw probably 2000 riot-prepared soldiers unload from buses and enter the perimeter. This level of military involvement surpasses overreaction, skips past overkill, and pegs “insane.” Whoever ordered this response is completely out of touch with reality.
"Out of touch with reality." Yes. Absolutely.
