I SAW THIS on the Ace of Spades HQ website.
Unfortunately there's no direct link.
MAKE WALT HAPPY: destroy Disney.
METHINKS SHE DOTH PROTEST TOO MUCH: Patrisse Cullors claims $6 million BLM mansion wasn't announced because it 'needed repairs and renovation'.

Clearly she and her groupies need a new home -- one paid for by the state.
RESURGENT POPULISM and the fate of America's elites.
In normal modern societies, the ruling class, despite their individual personal failings, has symbolized empathy, ability, learning, and good judgment. But America no longer has a normal society as the unchecked egocentricity and cowardice of the elites is the indisputable sign that this nation is mired in mediocrity.
America's elites should remember how the French Revolution began....
WARNING TO DEMOCRATS: This "trans" mania you're wrapped up in is destroying children.

Note: CASA is an acronym for Court Appointed Special Advocate in child abuse cases.
TO RECLAIM TWITTER, Elon Musk may not be the billionaire you want, but he might just be the billionaire we need right now.
THE MIAMI HERALD attacks DeSantis campaign for using 'fake news site' to raise campaign funds. The 'fake news' site is the Babylon Bee, a satire website whose tagline is "Fake news you can trust". For some unknown reason, the DeSantis campaign must have thought the Bee's subscriber list would be more useful to them than the Herald's.

As usual, DeSantis' press secretary Christina Pushaw got in the last word: "Miami Bird Cage Liner is upset that satire website @TheBabylonBee is more popular than their fake news."
REAL DATA on COVID'S aftermath. It's specific to Minnesota, but anyone who doesn't believe the conclusions apply throughout America is a fool -- or worse.
LEFT-WING 'INFLUENCERS' ON TWITTER amplify fabricated Tucker Carlson quote.

Much more: "Those who scream and shout the loudest about stopping misinformation have no issue spreading it themselves when it benefits their cause."
ISSUES & INSIGHTS: The environmental/social/governance threat.

It's not about the environment, society, or even governance; it's about who controls your life.

Read it all.
BECAUSE IT'S SOMEONE ELSE'S MONEY: Why have massive frauds become commonplace in our society?
WHITE HOUSE to target billionaires with new minimum tax in 2023.

There are just a few flies in the White House ointment. Here are three: (1) the White House's deficit is too large, (2) there aren't enough billionaires, and (3) the billionaires won't cooperate. But other than that....

I tend to favor having everyone having to pay at least some minimal income tax each year. According to the Tax Policy Center, the top 20% of taxpayers pay over 70% of the total income taxes each year; the bottom 40% pay none. I believe everyone should have some skin in the game if for no other reason than for them to (hopefully) pay attention to how their money is spent.
MICHAEL RAMIREZ captured Obama's visit to the Biden White House perfectly.

MORE PROOF (IF ANY IS NEEDED) OF GOVERNMENT INCOMPETENCE: California sent $1 billion in pandemic relief to its most affluent families.

'Elite' governance is now a synonym for 'incompetent' governance. The same can be said of 'experts'.
SO MAYBE THE STATES should simply ignore federal diktats. I'm thinking specifically of the southern border.

Governors DeSantis [R-FL] and Abbott [R-TX] appear to be thinking along the same lines.
VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: Can Ukraine win?
ANOTHER 'NO SHIT, SHERLOCK' MOMENT: Americans say Biden is bad for America.

Biden has never been above zero in the Rasmussen Presidential Approval Index and is currently in the negative 20's. At this same point in his administration, Trump was solidly 20 points higher.
WHO'D HAVE THUNK IT? Biden is not America's most popular world leader.
THE COMING DEATH OF HIGHER EDUCATION: University of California to make anti-racist education a prerequisite for admission.

Only properly groomed trans-persons admitted....

Update: The rest of us are ditching university for real education.
MALLARD FILLMORE: "We're living in one of Trump's wild exaggerations."
