NOTABLE QUOTES

Paul Sperry RealClearInvesigations: So far, the select House committee set up to investigate the Jan. 6 siege at the Capitol has not explored the most lethal violence that occurred that day. Byrd was responsible for the only shot fired during the riot – all other armed officers showed restraint, including 140 who were injured confronting rioters — and Babbitt was the only person directly killed on that day. Like the other rioters, she carried no firearm — no guns were recovered from the Capitol.

President Biden referring to the first anniversary of January 6: Last week, President Harris and I stood in the United States Capitol to observe one of those before and after moments in American history.

President Biden on Tuesday in Georgia: Today. I’m making it clear to protect our democracy, I support changing the Senate rules, whichever way they need to be changed to prevent a minority of senators from blocking action on voting rights.

President Biden in 2005 when a U.S. Senator: This nuclear option is ultimately an example of the arrogance of power. ‘It is a fundamental power grab by the majority party, propelled by its extreme right and designed to change the reading of the Constitution, particularly as it relates to individual rights and property rights. It is nothing more or nothing less.

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) tweeted on 1/12/22: Stunning. The original source of the letter lobbying the Biden admin to use the Patriot Act to target parents as domestic terrorists? THE BIDEN ADMIN ITSELF. Biden Education Secretary: in effect, ‘Please ask us to treat Moms & Dads as terrorists.’

Joy Pullmann contributor to The Federalist: Now that people are beginning to more deeply feel the foreseeable evil consequences of ruling class responses to a novel virus, that ruling class is pulling what propaganda experts call a “limited hangout.” That’s admitting to bits of the truth in order to re-establish yourself as a credible authority while attempting to keep the whole truth hidden.

Joel Kotkin contributor to The American Mind: The working class may have suffered the most in the past decades, but the angriest class in America may be the small business and property-owning class that long stood as a critical part of our national ethos. These are now widely castigated by the intellectual classes for their tendency towards Trumpism.

Democrat led Boulder, Colorado city employee issued a warning to cut back on energy use – a warning that highlights the “new normal” we all have in our future:   Turn down your thermostat and dress in layers: It’s not just up to your furnace to keep you warm. Dressing in layers can keep you warm while relying less on your heat source.

Nickaylah Sampson who was forced to leave West Point because she refused the COVID vaccination found a new home at Hillsdale College:  What I find ironic about Hillsdale versus a military academy is that in the army we swear in to protect the Constitution, protect and defend the Constitution, but we don’t even learn it, but here at Hillsdale College there’s a whole class on the Constitution.   I find that amazing because the Constitution is for me one of the reasons I joined the military in the first place… to protect and defend the Constitution, but at West Point I found that they were going directly against many Constitutional rights, especially in regards to the vaccine mandate.  Hillsdale is so patriotic and so grounded in morals and I love it.

Andrea Widburg contributor to American Thinker: Perhaps the only thing Americans agree about today is that animals should not needlessly be tortured. No matter their politics, Americans were upset to learn about the NIH’s cruel animal experiments. It turns out, though, according to David Gortler, a former FDA insider, that most of the most sadistic animal experiments in the U.S. are done under the aegis of the FDA—and are completely unnecessary.

Wolfe: Republicans in 10 states introduce bills banning trans drugs for kids, men in women’s sports
At least three bills would outlaw sterilizing transgender procedures for children. Republican state legislators are pushing back against the transgender movement, with a wave of new bills targeting dangerous transgender procedures for children and unfair competition in women’s and girls sports. Lawmakers filed the bills in at least 10 states, including Arizona, Alabama, Alaska, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Missouri, New Hampshire, and South Dakota. In Kentucky, House Bill 253 would ban health care professionals from providing hormone blockers, transgender surgeries, or referrals for transgender procedures to gender dysphoric minors under 18 years old. The bill would categorize the practices as unprofessional conduct, subject to disciplinary action by medical boards. Parents could also sue doctors for “actual or threatened” violations of the law, as could someone who suffered a “gender transition” as a child. Other provisions include a ban on public funding for entities that provide transgender drugs or surgeries to minors. The Arizona “Vulnerable Child Compassion and Protection Act,” or Senate Bill 1045, would . . .

Bannister: ‘Even if It Is a Crime’: Asst. AG Testifies He Doesn’t Know of Anyone from Jan. 6 Who’s Been Charged with ‘Insurrection’
Even though many Democrats insist that the January 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol was an “insurrection,” Assistant Attorney General Matthew Olsen testified Tuesday in a Senate hearing that he doesn’t know of anyone who has been charged with insurrection for participating in the riot. While Olsen appeared uncertain whether or not “insurrection” is, technically, a crime, he did testify that he didn’t know of anyone charged with it.

Justice: FBI Refuses To Say How Many Informants Were Involved In Jan. 6 Violence
The FBI refused to answer questions about the agency’s possible provocative involvement with the Jan. 6 Capitol riots during a Tuesday hearing on Capitol Hill. “How many FBI agents or confidential informants actively participated in the events of Jan. 6?” Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz asked the Executive Assistant Director for the FBI’s National Security Branch Jill Sanborn. “I can’t go into the specifics of sources and methods,” Sanborn said. “Did any FBI agents or confidential informants actively participate in the events of Jan. 6, yes or no?” Cruz pressed. “I can’t answer that,” Sanborn said, despite The New York Times revealing in September the presence of federal agents within the crowd that stormed the Capitol. Earlier this month, Newsweek revealed in a blockbuster story the presence of secret commandos with “shoot-to-kill” authority.

Mutnick: North Carolina court declines to toss out GOP-drawn House map
The ruling is the latest in a flurry of litigation and court orders muddying North Carolina’s 2022 elections — and leaving its political future for the next decade in limbo. The Democratic-aligned plaintiffs who brought the suit immediately said they will appeal to the state Supreme Court, where their party has a narrow majority. In a 260-page ruling, three judges from the Wake County Superior Court wrote that redistricting was an inherently political process and that maps drawn for partisan gain did not violate the state constitution.

Marcos: Capitol security officials developing program to identify ‘insider threats’ from police
Capitol Police Chief Thomas Manger and House Sergeant-at-Arms William Walker on Tuesday told lawmakers they are actively working to root out police officers with extremist views who could pose “insider threats” to Capitol security. Walker said during a hearing before members of the House Appropriations Committee that his office has developed an “insider threat awareness program” to identify “insider threats and employees who do lose their compass” at a time when lawmakers face record levels of security threats. The proposed insider threat detection program will be presented to the Capitol Police Board, which oversees the department, as soon as this month, he said. “The strategic objective is to have police officers trained as insider threat specialists so we can recognize the signs and symptoms, the indicators, of someone whose allegiance has changed,” Walker said. […]  The efforts to identify police officers with extremist views come after the Capitol Police investigated dozens of officers accused of assisting rioters during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. Manger estimated that there were at least 30 complaints against Capitol Police officers.

COVID THERAPUETICS

Duke: “I Know for a FACT HCQ and Ivermectin Work to Treat COVID!”
Forget the “novel virus.” The quest for “novel” COVID drugs and the profits they bring have been the real problem all along. So said Dr. Pierre Kory, the Wisconsin intensive care physician and lung specialist who reportedly treated hundreds of congressmen for coronavirus with a medication that’s apparently not good enough (or too good?) for the rest of us: ivermectin. Kory made his comments this past weekend on Maria Bartiromo’s show Sunday Morning Futures, on which he appeared with Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wis.). After he remarked on how a medical establishment corrupted by money has denied Americans simple, inexpensive, life-saving medical care, host Bartiromo exclaimed, “That is disgusting! I know for a fact that hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin work to treat COVID!” To this, Kory nodded in obvious agreement. […]  In reality, wise doctors willing to buck the medical establishment have long been effectively treating China virus patients.

Dr. Zelenko: “Zinc Is The Bullet — It Kills The Virus. The Only Problem Is The Bullet Doesn’t Get To The Place Where It Needs To Be”
Here is Dr. Zelenko talk about “the bullet and gun” approach for understanding zinc ionophores (transcript of highlights is below): . .. […]  The virus is inside the cell. The enzyme is inside the cell. And the zinc on its own cannot get into the cell. You have a bullet without a gun – useless. Now, it turns out there’s a class of medications called ‘zinc ionophores’ or a class of substances called ‘zinc ionophores’ — what they do — is they open up a channel, a door, which allows zinc to go from outside the cell to inside the cell. There are four of them that are readily available – two of them are prescription and two of them are over-the-counter. The two prescription ones everyone has heard of: Hydroxycholorquine and Ivermection. They’re the guns that shoot the bullet. The bullet then gets into the cell and stops the virus enzyme from helping the virus replicate.

CHINA: AMERICA’S MORTAL ENEMY

Ross: Prominent Chinese Communist Party Members Serve on Board of Yale Beijing Center
Two prominent members of the Chinese Communist Party serve on the board of Yale University’s academic center in Beijing, which hosts a series of events that defend Chinese government initiatives. Fu Chengyu and Zhou Wenzhong, who have served on the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, sit on Yale Center Beijing’s advisory board alongside Chinese business leaders, a former U.S. trade representative, and a former U.S. ambassador to China. The Consultative Conference is a major hub of China’s united front system, which carries out foreign influence operations for the Chinese Communist Party. Fu formerly served as president of Sinopec, the Chinese state-owned energy behemoth. Zhou served as China’s ambassador to the United States until 2010. Yale maintains questionable ties to China even as U.S. intelligence officials warn of the regime’s aggressive efforts to influence American universities.

Perry & Canaparo: BREAKING: Biden Administration Making Lists of Religious Vaccine Objectors
A tiny administrative agency in the District of Columbia announced a new policy Tuesday that will likely serve as a model for a whole-of-government push to assemble lists of Americans who object on religious grounds to a COVID-19 vaccine. The Pretrial Services Agency for the District of Columbia—a federal independent entity that assists officers in the District of Columbia courts in formulating release recommendations and providing supervision and services to defendants awaiting trial—announced a new records system that will store the names and “personal religious information” of all employees who make “religious accommodation requests for religious exception from the federally mandated vaccination requirement.” The announcement does not explain why the agency needs to create this list except to say that it will “assist the Agency in the collecting, storing, dissemination, and disposal of employee religious exemption request information collected and maintained by the Agency.” In other words, the list will help the agency make a list. The announcement also does not say . . .

Revolver.news: Stop Gigi Sohn Now: The Dangerous Radical Trying to Undo Free Speech for All Americans
One of those worthy battles should be taking place right now. Very soon, the Senate will vote on whether to confirm Gigi Sohn, Joe Biden’s nominee to fill the decisive fifth spot on the Federal Communications Commission. And with a 50-50 split in the Senate, that confirmation is only a sure thing if Republicans decide to take it easy. They shouldn’t. Gigi Sohn is a dangerous extremist whom Republicans should fight ferociously to keep away from any sort of regulatory power. […]  Sohn, a longtime telecom lawyer and activist, is an alumnus of the far-left Ford Foundation and a fellow with the Open Society Foundations, the grantmaking network funded by George Soros. For those of you living under a rock, Soros is best known as the billionaire paying to make every American city into a criminal disaster area. Like most power centers in Washington, the FCC’s power grows more with each passing year.  […]  Sohn has made it explicit that she doesn’t simply disagree with Republicans on issues. She regards them as a borderline-criminal ideological enemy that should be extinguished.

Videos from 2005 and 2019 show Joe Biden saying getting rid of Senate filibuster is ‘arrogance of power’ after he tells Georgia crowd on Tuesday it’s time get rid of it to push through voting reform
President Joe Biden on Tuesday gave his strongest denouncement yet of the Senate filibuster – calling for its abolition so that the voting reforms he wants can be passed, despite having defended the vote-blocking system in 2005 and 2019. The president, speaking at a rally in Georgia, told the crowd that if the Senate does not at least agree to debate the voting bills, ‘we have no option but to change the Senate rules, including getting rid of the filibuster for this.’ […]  Biden, as a senator, was previously in favor of the system, resurfaced videos show. ‘At its core, the filibuster is not about stopping a nominee or a bill, it’s about compromise and moderation,’ he declared in 2005. ‘This nuclear option is ultimately an example of the arrogance of power. ‘It is a fundamental power grab by the majority party, propelled by its extreme right and designed to change the reading of the Constitution, particularly as it relates to individual rights and property rights. ‘It is nothing more or nothing less.’

Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., who promised to bring filibuster changes up for a vote in the next week if Republicans don’t vote for Democrats’ elections bills, responded by offering to vote on those bills at a simple-majority threshold if Democrats got simple-majority votes on the elections bills.

Kotkin: Class War is Just Beginning
Seismic economic and demographic changes will feed division and conflict. With the seeming deconstruction of the Biden Administration proceeding at a rapid clip, many on the right hope for an end to the conscious stoking of class resentments that has characterized progressive politics. Yet despite the political meltdown, America’s class divides have become so wide, and so bitter, that Biden’s presidency may prove more a prelude than a denouement for the future of class warfare. […]  The new serfs  The biggest loser in early twenty first century America has been the working class. With the exception of wage gains made during the first three years of the Trump Administration, this class has seen its real income decline. Today, wages are rising again, but inflation is reducing real incomes, and leaving more Americans, particularly the poorest 50 percent, struggling to make ends meet. The pandemic lockdowns, whether justified or overwrought, have pummeled low-income workers and made more vulnerable those living in crowded housing. […]  Will the serfs rebel?  Where will the serfs go politically? They do not have a sympathetic audience among the progressive gentry. A writer at The New Republic  has  called for “blue states and cities to effectively abandon the American national enterprise,” dismissing the rest of the country as “crazy, deadbeat in-laws.” Calling people “deplorables” or “clingers” may well be part of the reason that working people, including many minorities, have shifted to the GOP. Salon recently published a piece that applauds the tendency among young progressives to ostracize and avoid contact with Trump supporters, not just politically but in daily life.

Griffith: Inflation hits 40 YEAR high as prices jump by 7% in a year  – after Biden insisted surging cost of living was just ‘a bump in the road’
The US inflation rate has jumped to its highest level in nearly 40 years, adding woes for consumers and compounding the issue as a political liability for President Joe Biden. The consumer price index rose 0.5 percent last month after surging 0.8 percent in November, the Labor Department said on Wednesday. It pushed annual inflation to 7 percent in December, the highest increase since June 1982 and up from November’s 6.8 percent annual rate. A labor shortage is boosting wages, sending costs higher for businesses, and chaos in the supply chain is showing little sign of easing as Omicron sidelines workers by the millions, suggesting that high inflation could persist well into 2022.

THE DEMOCRAT LED WAR ON SCIENCE

Roberts: Why the Bastardization of the Scientific Method Is so Dangerous
Over the past half-decade, there has been a growing trend signaling a shift in the perceived and accepted role of science. It is not uncommon to see slogans and mottos such as “the science is settled” and “believe in science.”Statements like this present two major problems: first, science is determined to be final and indisputable; second, it is accompanied by a value or moral judgment. For example, scientific studies indicate that wearing a helmet can reduce head injury by 48%, serious head injury by 60%, traumatic brain injury by 53%, [and] face injury by 23%.” While it takes little effort to align with science on such a matter, I intend to demonstrate that an application of the first behavior is contradictory to the foundation of science and the second lies entirely outside its purview. To establish common ground, we begin by reviewing the merits and fundamentals of the scientific method.

It was presented by Allyson Tintiangco-Cubales, a professor at San Francisco State University and the co-director of Community Responsive Education. The presentation was given during a school board meeting in July 2021 and began with a land acknowledgment that described the Ohlone people, not the United States, as the rightful stewards of the land that JESD is on. […]  The curriculum is divided into four different units, labeled “self,” “systems,” “social movements,” and “solidarity.” Each unit is accompanied by a corresponding set of “essential questions” and “enduring understandings.”

TAKE ACTION

The Prickly Pear’s TAKE ACTION focus this year is to help achieve a winning 2024 national and state November 5th election with the removal of the Biden/Obama leftist executive branch disaster, win one U.S. Senate seat, maintain and win strong majorities in all Arizona state offices on the ballot and to insure that unrestricted abortion is not constitutionally embedded in our laws and culture.

Our state and national elections are at great risk from the very aggressive and radical leftist Democrat operatives with documented rigging, mail-in voter fraud and illegals voting across the country (yes, with illegals voting across the country) in the last several election cycles.

Read Part 1 and Part 2 of The Prickly Pear essays entitled How NOT to Vote in the November 5, 2024 Election in Arizona to be well informed of the above issues and to vote in a way to ensure the most likely chance your vote will be counted and counted as you intend.
