GET WOKE, GO BROKE: I'm not donating this year either.

Read the comments. They're not kind.

SERVE ME FIRST because I'm clearly virtuous.

SHEER IDIOCY: California to reimpose universal indoor mask mandate.

Well, it is California after all. I just hope some enterprising journalists (are there any left?) dog Gov. Newsom everywhere he goes to ensure he scrupulously follows his own diktat.

EAT, DRINK, AND MAKE MERRY, for tomorrow we shall be on Bidenfare.

DILBERT EXPLAINS why lockdowns don't work.

POWERLINE'S WEEK IN PICTURES RETURNS and Smollett smolders. My favorite this week:

But there are many, many excellent ones this week. Go enjoy them all.

HEH: Peggy Noonan is pathetic.

Noonan’s popularity as a Journal columnist may justify the editors’ persistence in turning over the paper’s valuable editorial page real estate to her on a weekly basis, but I trust they are embarrassed by it.

I think it's safe to say "I doubt it."

THE OMICRON VARIANT HAS ARRIVED -- and nothing much has happened.

Dud....

WHO COULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING? Hospitals that laid off unvaccinated staff now overwhelmed.

Who could have seen this coming? Anyone with half a brain, that's who. I'm reminded of a business card my Dad used to hand out to encourage his customers:

His customers were smart; they listened to him.

IF YOU'VE EVER used (or been forced to use) Medicare , this is obvious: More than half of U.S. hospitals don’t follow pricing disclosure rules.

IT’S TIME TO ADMIT IT. Less than a year in, Joe Biden’s is a failed presidency.

Fire them. Fire them all. And convict them when and where we can.

AMMO GRRRLL: Never, ever vote for a category.

Especially if that category is 'Democrat'....

DEMOCRATS AGAIN URGE BIDEN to cancel student loan debt as payment restart looms.

I wonder why. Rashida Tlaib ($70K), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ($20K), and many other members of Congress still have student loan debt (on $175K salaries).

THOUGHTLESS ENVIRONMENTALISM: The push for electric cars is actually killing rainforests.

ALTERNATIVE STRUCTURES are being built. For the most part conservative America is walking/has walked away (from Facebook, Twitter, etc.).

Read it, and the comments below.

GO LONG on Democrat panic. What's interesting is the approval rating chart; it pretty well mirrors the Rasmussen Presidential Approval Index that I track daily.

Note that approve/strongly approve are pretty evenly split on the approval side while the disapprove/strongly disapprove are biased 4:1 in favor of strongly disapprove. I think the 20% strong approval number represents the Democrat base -- and even it has dropped 50% since the election. Strong disapprovals have increased since the start of the year, by around 20%.

My guess is that by the midterms, the strong approvals will remain in the 20% diehard Democrat base, the 'meh' votes will remain in the mid-20%, and the strong disapprovals will increase to 55% or higher, giving a Rasmussen Approval index somewhere below -35.

The Biden administration is in trouble....

IT COULDN'T HAPPEN TO A NICER BUNCH OF ZEALOTS:

The 'woke' got what they wanted.

If only the consequences could be confined to the zealots....

ANN COULTER: The Fauci who cried wolf.

RANDOM THOUGHT: It took the Biden administration a bit under 11 months to turn 'progressive' into a 4-letter word.

MEET RACHEL ROLLINS, the new United States Attorney for Massachusetts.

Brief as it is, the video tells you just about everything you need to know about her. She is a racist. She is a race hustler. She is vulgar. She is vile. She is a nut.

And she is a Democrat.
