MIT STUDY: Vaccine hesitancy is 'highly informed, scientifically literate,' and 'sophisticated'.

There's lots of dribble and goo in this article, but the essential point is correct: most of those who are hesitant are informed, literate, and knowledgeable of the risks.
THE WASHINGTON POST attacks Tucker Carlson; PowerLine responds with well-deserved fisking.
VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: The secret that Biden, Obama, Hillary won't say aloud about today's Democratic Party. (It's the party of the rich, not the peons.)
MICHAEL RAMIREZ is good, but Sen. Marco Rubio [R-FL] was first.
THE COVID COLLABORATIVE: more proof that the 'ruling class' is real -- and destructive.
SALENA ZITO: Seeing America from the ground.

There ought to be a mandate that every congresscritter make at least one round trip annually to Washington from their home state in their personal automobiles, exclusively on back roads, avoiding cities, eating only at local diners, and staying only in local hotels.

Maybe then there would be a little more humility in government.
INFLATION AND WORSE: An ominous portent for Biden's America.

Short summary: Don't trust a Democrat socialist government. Vote Republican instead. Republican governments may not be great, but at least they're not disasters.
DEMOCRATS: Try winning an election. Instead of stealing them.
WELCOME TO THE ASH HEAP OF HISTORY: Just how desperate is CNN?
DEMOCRATS ON THE LAM: PowerLine's Week in Pictures. My favorite:
I'm sure there's a homeless shelter around someplace....

Now go see the rest.
THE POWER OF NO: Strong Man Populism is coming.
We’re going to turn to someone who won’t be deterred by cultural caterwauling, who will not be satisfied with a status quo ante that is deeply anti-American, who will ruthlessly use his power to reclaim our society for us, and who will wreak vengeance on our enemies.

That last one is important. They must learn never to do this again.
Read it all.
THE NEW YORK TIMES: Freedom is anti-government.

Update:
Yes, it's the Babylon Bee, but that doesn't mean it isn't accurate.
DR? ANTHONY FAUCI: "Vaccinations have nothing to do with politics." This from the most political -- and highly paid -- public 'health' professional in American history.

As I recall, he was one who early on inferred that an effective vaccine would take years to develop. And as I recall, he was wrong on his response to HIV/AIDS. And his support of gain of function research. And a lab leak from the Wuhan Virology Institute. And .. oh, never mind.

I also have to wonder if he's even aware that those ugly rural Rethuglian areas where vaccination rates are low are also the same areas where the risk of infection is also low.

Note: the question mark is intended.
REDEFINING THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE: Obviousman leans (far) Left. If the Right does it, it's insurrection; if the Left does it, it's mostly peaceful protest.
THE PUSHBACK CONTINUES: Virginia School Board votes to reject State Education Department's transgender policy.
I THOUGHT IT WAS CALLED A POLICE DEPARTMENT: Atlanta mayor to create an office charged with reducing crime.
YOU WANT AN INSURRECTION? This is how you get a real insurrection.

See, for example, Cuba,,,,
A 'CIVILITY' WAR we lost.
THIS ONE WORRIES ME: Poll finds fewer voters believe U.S. is best place to live.
It worries me for two reasons. First is the 21% drop in positive views in the under-45 cohort proving, I think, the effectiveness of the Left's takeover of education. The second, indirectly poll-related, is the 18 months of government COVIDiocy proving once again that America is a nation of sheep governed by morons intent on shearing them.

Cuba is looking better and better; at least they want to be free.

I'm beginning to think semi-seriously about bailing out of the U.S. myself while I still can....
LOS ANGELES COUNTY reinstates mask mandate, including indoors, regardless of vaccination status.

LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFF will not enforce COVID mask mandate.
EVERYBODY HAS NOTHING! Cuba is among ‘most equal’ countries because of socialism.

And equitable. Don't forget equitable.
VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: The American descent into madness.

And it's accelerating....
MONDAY, MONDAY:
Just another lousy day in paradise.
