SCROLL DOWN for a list of woke companies to avoid as much as possible.

I KNEW I LIKED BRETT FAVRE: NFL legend slams 'woke' sports leagues.

He's right.

BUT THEY HAVE A NEW BATCH OF EXCUSES AT THE READY: California is unprepared for another catastrophic fire season.

They've never been prepared.

THE PANDEMIC POWER GRAB: "They don't want you thinking you have the ability to take care of yourself."

SOUND ADVICE: How to woke-proof your kids.

RANDOM THOUGHT: The helping/healing professions are morphing into controlling professions.

BROOKLYN CENTER: Antifa comes to town. This comment is prescient: "Antifa will start being arrested and prosecuted when more of its members start arriving at the morgue."

I think the more accurate statement is that the riots will stop as soon as Antifa members start arriving at the morgue. They're only there because they know they have a free pass; it'll quit as soon as they discover their own bodies are at risk.

POWERLINE: If you live in an "environmentally conscious" state, Germany's energy disaster may be coming to you.

Here's the part I find interesting:

The government strategy calls for improving cross-border flows to spread localized and temporary supply risks, but its neighbors are doing the same.

Here's the thing. In buying electricity, Country 'A' is essentially selling its pollution to Country 'B'. What if Country 'B' isn't buying? Has anyone thought about that?

I thought not.

REMEMBER THIS WELL WHEN THE ALLIGATOR COMES FOR YOU: Passivity is a choice, and you voted for it.

Me, I have an AR=15 -- and a backhoe.

FAIRNESS IS OVERRATED: NBC's Lester Holt says we don’t need to hear both sides to define truth.

Truth is what we, the Democrat's media adjunct, say it is. So shut up, peasant. Obey your betters.

Fat chance.

WHEN THE ARMED FORCES SERVE A GLOBAL CORPORATE AGENDA, it’s no surprise that HR mandates are mission critical.

NANCY PELOSI SHOULD BE IMPEACHED. Pelosi’s wild declaration regarding the Iowa House seat Democrats tried to steal.

She lost this round, but she should have lost her own House seat long, long ago.

POWERLINE'S riot preseason edition of its famous Week in Pictures series has posted. There are many good ones (obviously) but I have three I want to highlight.

This first one is a zombie movie classic:

These next two are obviously related by a common thread:

And

And no, I don't think the curve is anywhere near flattening....

Now go see the rest.

FROM POWERLINE: Mayor Bower's odd decision.

PowerLine's Paul Mirengoff is at a loss to understand her decision. I suppose he's too young to remember The Outer Limits television series (1963-65):

There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to… The Outer Limits.

It's about control. With Democrats it's always about control.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY: "A Democrat is a terrible waste of mind."

SCIENCE, POLITICS, AND COVID: Will truth prevail?

In the near term, who knows? In the long term, certainly -- Mother Nature doesn't suffer fools lightly.

THEY SHOULD DEMAND THE FIRING OF ALL THOSE WHO AGREE: Virginia county school advisory board demands the firing of teachers who disagree with critical race theory.

No surprise: it's the 'wokest' county in the whole state....

STEVEN HAYWARD has more campus crazy at PowerLine. My favorite part is Hayward's parting shot: "Maybe next time the conference should invite Al Sharpton to address them on tax avoidance strategies. That will suit their ideology better."

BAD GIRL. BAD, BAD GIRL: Professor of gender studies compares transgender people to QAnon conspiracy followers.

Fury erupts, naturally. The question I have is who was more offended -- the transgenders or the QAnon followers.

MEDIA STRANGELY SILENT: Atlanta man arrested with six (6!) guns on his person.

Why the silence?

Well, first, he was black. And second, Georgia is an open carry state.
