YOU CAN THANK JOE BIDEN:

World Health Organization recommends stockpiling meds for radiological catastrophe.

Looming food shortages is the next ‘slow-moving disaster’ to hit world.

Send him a nice 'thank you' note....

MALLARD FILLMORE sees the doctor. I suggest reading (or rereading) Caduceus Wild.

IF NOT, THEY SHOULD BE: Are public employee unions unconstitutional?

JAW DROPPING: a walk through Twitter headquarters with Elon Musk.

Dave Rubin (@RubinReport) spent two days talking to engineers, product managers, and Musk. He discovered what a “Rube Golberg” contraption Twitter was, and how hard Musk and his engineers were working to clean up all the mess that had been left. He was told he could write anything he wanted about the experience, as long as it was true.

So read it all.

ANOTHER BOMBSHELL DISCLOSURE in Kari Lake's [Arizona gubernatorial] election lawsuit.

It's probably too late for Lake given that "Governor" Katie Hobbs has already been inaugurated, but never too late for vigorous, aggressive Republican lawfare against the individual lowlifes who ran the 2022 election.

IT'S NEVER ENOUGH: Let’s go crazy, taxes edition.

Click on the Garofalo tweet and read the comments.

TAKE THAT, ANTIFA TERRORISTS! Atlanta Mayor neutralizes protesters' concerns in final deal for Public Safety Training Center.

MASS EXTINCTION CAN ONLY BE AVOIDED if plumbers in the UK become more diverse and inclusive.

IS THIS A SERIOUS QUESTION? Are kids dumber now?

They're certainly less educated (or at least more miseducated) than when I was in school 60 years ago.

ELECTRICITY? California's plan to power EVs has one glaring shortcoming.

I HOPE NOT, BUT .... The Republican Party remains a useless spineless husk.

IT USED TO BE 'an arm and a leg'.

SO BEING CRAZY IS A FASHION STATEMENT? Transes wear mental illnesses like fashion accessories.

SHOE explains the Left.

JUST NOT OFTEN ENOUGH: It is good to be reminded sometimes that most people are just fine.

MORE PROOF (if any is needed) that Pencil Neck is a loathsome human being.

ANOTHER FEDERAL COMMITTEE worthy of defunding. Or better, canceling outright)

Although I have to admit that Martha Washington, our resident fat cat, will be pleased with
Dr. Fatima's diktat.

IF YOU WONDER ABOUT THE DECLINING TRUST IN DOCTORS, wonder no more.

ITS HAPPENING: The higher education bubble is about to burst.

My only quibble is that 'qualifications' should be replaced by 'certificates'.

HYPOCRISY - WOKESTER NARCISSISM DILEMMA: An environmentalist's Tesla dilemma.

Hypocrisy and narcissism are the flip sides of the 'wokester' coin -- can't have one without the other....

YOU WILL EAT BUGS -- and you will like them.

I'M SURPRISED. The percentage of conservatives is way too high.

WASHINGTON POST: a woke economic climate is a broke economic climate.

THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM/DAVOS presents the glass bubble where you and the bugs you eat will live in the future prepared for you.

The Brave New World awaits....

HEH: I'm all for San Francisco's reparations.

NEWS YOU CAN USE: Your TV is spying on you.

THEY'RE BEING SAVED FOR THE NEXT PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION: Nearly half of the ballots mailed to California voters in 2022 election are unaccounted for.

I'M A FOOD SCIENTIST NUTCAKE and you're making these seven dangerous cooking mistakes.

I've ignored your advice for 78 years and I'm still alive.

WATTS UP WITH THAT? A critical examination of the six pillars of climate change despair.

Long, but worthy of a close read.

POWERLINE WRITES about the debt limit.

Republicans, don't allow the debt limit to be raised. Even if it means shutting down the government.

The less government does for to us the better off we are.

A FECKLESS BLOW-HARD SURROUNDED BY INCOMPETENCE: Illinois Attorney General has bad day at gun ban court date.

BECAUSE THE TRUTH HURTS? Why deception is essential to the Left.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Thomas Sowell on the Left and “the Common Man”.

Laughter is still the best medicine.

BUT WE ARE DOING IT FOR THE PEOPLE: a post-Davos world.

Of course they are.

OFFICE VACANCY RATE in San Francisco hits an even higher high.

So there should be plenty of room fot the homeless.

IN HIS POCKET. John Kerry says key to fighting climate change is money, money, money.

GLOBAL ELITES conspire against the rest of us.

But they "work so hard".

AND THAT WOULD MOSTLY BE GOOD: How the wokeness higher education pushes could destroy it.

ONLY LEFTISTS CAN TEACH: We all know that our country is in trouble, but the rot goes far deeper than most realize.

"Traditionally marginalized" is leftist code for stupid.

WHAT HAPPENS NOW? I think there is a growing probability (not possibility) that we are going to see ‘justice’ dispensed at the street level.

A note I've made several times in the past. Here's the latest.

More on vigilantism here.

KNOW YOUR PLACE, PEASANTS. They “work so hard for you.”

A discovery I made at least 25 years ago. Welcome to the party...

ORDINARILY I'D SAY NO. Should the House Republican majority copy the Democrats violation of norms?

But after 6 years of Democrats' egregious violation of civilized norms, I've changed my mind. Yes, I think Republicans should not only copy Democrat tactics but improve on them, reminding the Democrats every step of the way that payback's a bitch and you're going to get it gooder and harder.

GOODER AND HARDER: Democrats push to amend Constitution so 16-year-olds can vote.

And Republicans will push to amend the Constitution to tie the drinking and gun-ownership ages to the voting age. If you're old enough to vote, you should be old enough to drink and own firearms, Right?

THEY DON'T HATE US. The coming gas-stove culture war.

Oh, really?

HMMM. ATF finalizes rule that treats guns with pistol braces as short-barreled rifles.

This will get interesting when it's challenged in court. And it certainly will.

BEN SHAPIRO: Our blundering, intrusive, incompetent government.

And we, the people, voted for them? (I didn't. Nor did any of the people I know.)

CALL THEM BLOOD SUCKING LEECHES; THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE. More employees than students at Stanford.

UNLIKELY, but "Is it courage time in the House of Representatives?"

A “PROMISED LAND OF SANITY”: Here's the line that brought the house down at Gov Ron DeSantis' inaugural speech.

DID THEY LOOK UNDER HIS PILLOW? The White House has just announced that six more classified documents were discovered at the Wilmington house this week.

And the glove box of his Corvette?

IT WASN’T EASY TO TOP THE TRIUMPH TR7: Prince Harry branded ‘worst British export to the US in 200 years’.

I will concur with the TR-7 part. It was hands-down the worst car I ever bought; it was pretty though.

PETE BUTTIGIEG would have been fired long ago if he were straight.

For exta protection he should identify as black.

SO I'M IN THE MAJORITY: Fifty-six percent of U.S. voters prefer a government shutdown to raising the debt ceiling.

HAS SKYNET ARRIVED? Robots rise as we develop more artificial minds to take over genuine careers.

Given the IQ of the average progressive, that could be a good thing.

RACE HUSTLERS are the Democrat party.

SHE SHOULD KNOW: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says gas stoves are linked to brain damage.

About brain damage, that is....

THE BABYLON BEE: Biden declares the southern border as secure as America's elections.

I think the Bee may have missed on this one; the border is probably more secure.

SO WHY DOESN'T HE WALK/BIKE TO DELAWARE FOR HIS WEEKLY VACATIONS? Biden wants you to walk/bike more to eliminate transportation emissions.

I'VE NOTICED: Health insurance may have made health care more expensive.

And if you haven't you must be a 'taker'.

MALLARD FILLMORE states the obvious.

THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION to increase fees for legal immigration to cover the costs of processing illegals.

This is standard Democrat procedure -- punish the innocent to protect the guilty.

THE MORNING BRIEFING: Biden is kicking off 2023 by pretending to care about the southern border.

HOW TO TAKE THE TWITTER FILES TO COURT: File a class action against federal agents seeking an injunction against social-media censorship efforts.

This I'd really really like to see....

WOKE NARCISSM EXPOSED: San Francisco ‘Karen’ posts her own ridiculous tantrum when rescue squad blocks bike lane.

2022 SUCKED:

Picture 365 days full of sucking and you’ve got this past year. Not in my personal life, and hopefully not in yours either, but politically. We have a moron in the White House, a culture going to hell, and a media actively working against any and everything that refuses to conform to their left-wing agenda. At least on January 3rd a new Congress with convenes and some of the horrible will end. So we make sure we repeat a little of the garbage from 2022 to 2023, let’s take a look back at some of the worst.

Now go read the whole thing.

UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE ends with the government telling you to kill yourself.

And assisting. That was the obvious end point years ago. Every government program starts with promising more and more for less and less (and hiding the real cost) until the bureaucracy is so bloated it can't accomplish anything ... and then it implodes.

We're on the verge of implosion now.

'INCLUSIVITY' IN OUR SCHOOLS: The CDC's radical plans for your children.

If the CDC's COVID nightmare wasn't enough, this should be proof enough to abolish the CDC entirely.

Here are some of my thoughts about the CDC from nearly 3 years ago at the onset of the COVID 'pandemic'.

IF 2022'S 'MOST LIKELY TO ...' COLUMN is any indication, 2023 awards should will be off the charts.

OVER WOKE AND OVERWROUGHT: Washington state county bans employees from having religious decorations.

There is an easy solution: fire the entire Human Resources department and any employee who complains. With prejudice.
