NOT JUST COVID HYPOCRITES. California: land of the COVID hypocrites.

MARK STEYN: A hinge moment in history. It's long, but read it all.

And be afraid. Be very afraid.

THE HUMAN PIGS ON ORWELL'S FARM: Orwell and the woke.

RATHER OBVIOUS, DON'T YOU THINK? “In most blue areas, masking has long become a virtue signal instead of a safety measure.”

SEEN ON THE RASMUSSEN REPORTS FACEBOOK PAGE: A majority of voters blame President Joe Biden’s administration for the chaos surrounding the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, and more than two-thirds would support using military force to rescue Americans left behind. From the comments:

Easy-to-solve problem. Give the Taliban 24 hours to release ALL US hostages or we ARCLIGHT a large section of Kabul around the Presidential Palace and any other government buildings. No boots on the ground, just pure kinetic energy. Failure after that would result in further strikes. Our biggest failure in Afghanistan was in trying to "win hearts and minds", instead of instilling pure, unadulterated fear. If your enemy doesn't fear you, he will continue to fight. Once he knows you'll kill him, his family, and his nearest 20 neighbors, he'll be a bit more willing to do what you want.

Osama bin Laden's followers in the Taliban have remounted the strong horse while Joe Biden's followers have dismounted and are afoot. Dangerous times, these.

But no mean tweets....

WHEN POLITICIANS CALL FOR 'FAIRNESS,' they're usually lying. Unless by 'fairness' they mean “a word I use to pander to the rubes, while hobnobbing with the rich.”

SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT: A horse is not a jackass.

THE PHOTO that sums up the 'far-right' rally that terrified DC and liberal America.

More.

NEW DEMOCRAT GOV. KATHY HOCHUL: God wants you to get vaccinated.

COVID-19 is a religion and vaccines and masks are its holy sacraments. Go forth and spread the good news of Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson. All praise to the glorious coronavirus hysteria, forever and ever, amen.

But pro-life? Not so much....

AMMO GRRRLL: When animals attack.

IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN CRITICAL RACE THEORY, you can't work.

WELL, IF IT DOES, AT LEAST WE WON'T DIE OF LUNG CANCER. Does smoking prevent Covid-19?

BIDEN AGENDA EXPLODES: Key Democratic senator rejects 'entitlement mentality,’ refuses to back $3.5T spending splurge.

Mount the strong horse, Joe [Manchin]. Join the Republican party.

I'LL NEVER GET TIRED of all their failures.

Pissed off, yes; but tired, no.

THE 700 BILLION GIMMICK at the center of Biden's tax plan.

Central to President Joe Biden's plan to hike federal spending by $3.5 trillion is a promise that middle-class Americans won't face a tax increase.

That's a claim that is looking less and less true with each passing day. The bill Congress is drafting to pay for all that new spending includes tax hikes on tobacco products, electronic cigarettes, and cryptocurrencies—taxes that will apply to the rich and poor alike. And while the bill does not raise income taxes on anyone earning less than $200,000 annually in the immediate future, Americans earning as little as $30,000 could face a tax hike by 2027 under Biden's plan....

And you thought your taxes wouldn't go up? Silly you.

I DON'T THINK the digital apocalypse needs arms and hands. It's been very successful as is.

OF COURSE: Is the COP26 climate conference due to be held in Glasgow in November in jeopardy?

Corporate America may have thrown in the towel, but I don't think the people who buy the things corporate America sells have.

This should get interesting as (if?) corporate America wakes up from being 'woke'....

EITHER WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE. Both would be better.

SPACEX’S GROWING STARBASE casts a shadow over Boca Chica: "As Elon Musk expands his space flight command center, locals are fed up with the damage on the landscape."

What a load of ecofreak wack-a-doodle crap. I remember back in the dark ages (mid-60's) at Cape Canaveral (now the Kennedy Space Center, where I was an entry-level student technician) when the same ecofreaks decalred that Merritt Island would become a vast wasteland, devoid of fish, fowl, reptiles, and other furry forest critters. Look at it now.
