ENTHUSIASTICALLY ENDORSED: "There’s something to be said in favor of reprogramming Facebook, Google, and Twitter’s algorithms with an ax."

IT PAYS to be an apparatchik.

WELL SAID: Neofeudalism suits California’s neofeudal lords just fine.

Tough on the kulaks, though. Read the whole thing.

BUT ONLY IF YOU'RE AN APPARATCHIK: A win for Warnock and Ossoff is a win for American priorities.

SARAH HOYT: When the King comes home.

Think about it before you vote tomorrow.

LITTLE PEOPLE, TAKE NOTE: Obama sez ... I want you to vote for Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff.

UMM ... NO.

OH, YES:

ANALYSIS, TRUE: Democrats are always focusing on the fringe edges of insane issues because that's how identity politics works.

WUHAN FLU [CORONAVIRUS] UPDATE for January 1, 2021:

Flu season is here; the total number of cases continue to climb. Positive cases are climbing also, now up a little at about 16% of the total. Daily deaths remain high but seem to be stabilizing some. Hospitalizations are still climbing (in Georgia), but new admissions seem to be declining.

Nationwide, death rates continue to decline even as the total number of cases continues to grow..

As a (continuing) reminder, I continue to believe the data I'm seeing is mostly smoke and mirrors, political pandering. The numbers I track are inconsistent, both from day to day and with a 99+% survival rate.

Take the data with a large grain of salt....

RANDOM THOUGHT: We have the worst political class in my lifetime.

DEMOCRATS LIE. DON'T VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS. Georgia Democrat Senate candidates level wildly misleading claim against Republican in closing days.

THAT'S BECAUSE SHE'S A DEMOCRAT: Barbara Boxer claims 'no comparison' between her 2004 electoral college objection and Josh Hawley's planned electoral college objections.

And his is real....

IT'S 2021! And the nightmare continues....

RANDOM THOUGHT: Joe Biden on television looks exactly like the marionette he is.

NOT NECESSARILY A BAD THING IF THE TARGETS ARE PROPERLY CHOSEN: Murder rates skyrocket.

However the targets have (so far) been ill-chosen....

IF YOU'RE SURPRISED, YOU HAVEN'T BEEN PAYING ATTENTION: New exposé shows UK’s COVId response was rife with corruption and cronyism.

Think it isn't happening here? Think again.

POWERLINE: Reject woke civics.

In my mind, the only way to take back America is to take education back from government control. Make the money follow the student, not vice versa.

NONE THAT I CAN THINK OF: Is anyone more annoying or treacherous than Barack Obama?

HEINLEIN'S CRAZY YEARS are in full swing.

SO NOW WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO BREATHE INDOORS? Coronavirus response should focus on ... indoor air.
