YES, IT'S ALL ABOUT CONTROL (AND POWER): Democrat desperation has now become dangerous.

EVEN THOUGH I LIVE IN GEORGIA, Florida is looking better and better.

And my old home of Austin, Texas is looking worse and worse.

Linked from these Instapundit posts.

RANDOM COMMENT: I stopped at my local Exxon station today to fill up the pickup, ready with a Biden 'I did that' sticker on the seat to put on the pump. Didn't need it; here's what I saw:

They're getting very popular hereabouts....

SAVE THE CHILDREN: Fire the teachers unions.

It is time for a Ronald Reagan moment. In the first year of his presidency, in 1981, he fired thousands of illegally striking air traffic controllers. He broke the back of a militant union that put public safety at risk by refusing to show up to work.

While we're at it, lets cancel all government unions.

SALENA ZITO: COVID-19 allowed too many to pervert their power.

Power is a wretched force when in the wrong hands.

She is absolutely right. Read it all.

THE MISERY of the diversity protection racket.

After reading it all, I'm of the opinion that the fundamental reason that minorities are dissatisfied is that there are far too many DIE ('diversity, inclusion, equity' -- my take) goons buffoons inhabiting the hallowed halls of education.

SORRY DEMOCRATS: Civil war isn't likely even if you're trying to provoke one.

If you think that you are on “the side of history” but events don’t cooperate with this lazy progressive narrative, you will be pitched into an existential crisis. This outlook cannot abide the fact that we have lived in a 50/50 nation for nearly 30 years now and are likely to continue to be closely divided for a long time to come. Progressive leftists cannot understand or accept this (or any) level of dissent.

It's Steven Hayward (of PowerLine fame) in the New York Post. I hope he's right, but I still worry.

THE DIPLOMAD is back! A welcome return.

I LIKE IT: CNN to be renamed the 'Collapsed News Network'.

NOT MUCH: What voters think about Biden's decision to prioritize race, ethnicity for COVID-19 treatments.

And these are Democrats....

THEY'LL BE THE ONES WHO CAN GET JOBS IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR: Half of teachers are considering quitting their jobs.

Republicans should show some spine and use this to push (a) push for vouchers and (b) end teacher certification requirements.

THEY DON'T LIKE BEING TOLD THEY'RE CROOKS: Washington state Gov.Jay Inslee [D(umb)] is “announcing my support for legislation currently being written that would outlaw attempts by candidates and elected officials to spread lies about free and fair elections when it has the likelihood to stoke violence.”

THEY'RE BACKPEDALING AS FAST AS THEY CAN: Now they tell us.

I'm not sure of the province of the quote, but "the collapse starts slowly, then suddenly." I hope think we're entering the 'suddenly' phase.

NOT WHO YOU MIGHT THINK: Who are the insurrectionists?

BUT ... BUT YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO DO ANYTHING WITHOUT 'EXPERT' HELP: Mike Pompeo has a healthy lesson for Americans to hear.

MORE BUREAUCRATIC COVIDIOCY:

Hospitals across the U.S. are turning to foreign nurses as healthcare workers are fired over vaccine mandates.

Nearly twice as many military members died from suicide from July through September than from coronavirus since pandemic's start.

Biden administration guidance prioritizes race in administering COVID drugs.

It will never end until real America tells the bureaucrats to shut up, go away, and goes back to normal life.

BLACK PEOPLE IN LOS ANGELES lack access to guns as the wealthy rush to buy them.

Must be those 'wealthy' white supremacists....

AS I NOTED in my earlier post, the death rate from the omicron coronavirus variant is almost zero.

RED STATE: the continuing COVIDiocy.

JOHN HINDERAKER has thoughts about the Democrats' emphasis on January 6th to distract from the fact that voter fraud is an important part of the Democrats’ electoral strategy.

The consensus behind election integrity is strong, and the fact that the Democrats’ “reforms” are intended to facilitate voter fraud is obvious. Let’s fight this issue at the ballot box in 2022.

He's right.
