GOOD NEWS: it's snowing. The bad news is that it isn't snowing on environmentalists.

PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN is reportedly planning to push his police reform agenda via an executive order as early as this month.

Some (many) years ago, in reading about the Spanish Inquisition, I came across the statement "We're going to have to kill you to save your soul." More recently a similar statement, “We had to destroy the village in order to save it” was used in reference to the Vietnam war.

Both, apparently, are falsehoods which over time have a memorable phrase taken as fact, and I'm reminded of them every time the Biden administration tries to use executive orders to accomplish his destructive goals.

[Related] Sarah Hoyt has coined a new phrase in response to the Biden administration's overuse of executive workarounds: JUST GO, BRANDON.

I like it.

MIDTERMS COMING UP! U.S. Government to end daily COVID death reporting.

Any questions?

AND HOW MANY DIVERSITY FACTOTUMS? University lays off 100 professors due to COVID.

TEXAS GOVERNOR TO AUSTIN BUSINESSES: Feel free to ignore Austin Mayor Adler's COVID orders.

AS SOON AS THE NEED IS OVER: The White House has a shipping update on those 500 million COVID tests.

I'VE BEEN PREDICTING THIS FOR A WHILE NOW: Philadelphia carjackers shot by legally armed drivers 3 separate times so far in 2022.

My only thought is that the armed citizens should spend a bit more time at the gun range.

And take the advice of the Dalai Lama.

HOWARD DEAN (REMEMBER HIM?) the perfect illustration of Democrats' ongoing hysteria.

Listen, Democrats gonna Democrat.

Without their reliance on hyperbole and unfounded scare tactics, dishonesty, disingenuousness, bald-faced lies, politics of division, and blatant hypocrisy, Democrats and their policies would be dead in the water. Call them stupid — which they are not [? - Ed.] — but Democrats are well aware that everything I just said is true.

Thing is? They don’t give a damn.

I would recommend bringing back insane asylums, but we already have -- they're called blue cities, and in some cases, states. Our only recourse left is to vet those who leave carefully before allowing them to reenter normal society.

UNREAL: The miserable life in woke Silicon Valley.

There is no way I could or would work in that environment. Thankfully I'm retired -- and just in time, because I saw the nose of that camel pushing into the Washington D.C. tent when I said 'to hell with it' and left.

HYPOCRISY UNLIMITED: Democrats pause angry demands to end the filibuster in order to filibuster Ted Cruz's Nord Stream 2 sanctions bill.

Red State also noticed.

FIRST THERE WERE rocks; then there were rules; then there were electric cars; then there were accidents; then there was urban planning; and now traffic cameras are racist.

Is there anything left in America that isn't racist?

DAY BY DAY: A rational implementation of checks and balances in real America.

The uncropped cartoon is here.

I'M LISTENING TO THE SWEARING-IN NOW: Glenn Youngkin and company start things off by going scorched Earth in Virginia.

NOW ACCIDENTS ARE RACIST, and it's all you rich white people's fault.

GLENN REYNOLDS: Team Biden's plan to ensure scientific integrity should start with itself.

Team Biden has no integrity. Scientific, political, or otherwise.

BECAUSE THEY'RE OUR KIDS, NOT YOURS: Texas school district tells teachers not to ‘out’ their trans, non-binary students to their parents.

THEN: Recall, remove & replace every last Soros prosecutor. Now: Try, convict & imprison.

THIS IS WHAT AN INSANE ASYLUM LOOKS LIKE ON THE INSIDE: [Tenured] Michigan professor wearing a space helmet tells students they are 'vectors of disease' in Zoom rant.

And you seriously want to expose your child to that? To pay to expose your child to that?

EMBARRASSING: Quotations from Chairman Dementia Joe.

WELL, according to Big Hysteria (news, weather, government), WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE! tonight. At 4 am, to be exact. So we're going out for a last breakfast this morning, just in case.

(And I'll fill the bathtub with water, to flush the toilets when the power inevitably goes out.)
