NOTABLE QUOTES

Sundance contributor to Conservative Treehouse:  Democrats must not be beaten – they must be destroyed. Arguing with a political leftist in the hope they can be convinced to change direction is futile. They are disassociated on a mental and emotional level from any semblance of a capacity to consider they may be wrong. This is why you can never let up in the fight against them. Even in victory, the blue-collar working-class common sense approach must be relentless. The modern left has to be destroyed on such a scale as their dangerous ideology is reduced to burning embers; however, do not trick yourself into believing it will ever be fully extinguished.

Jon Militimore contributor to Intellectual Takeout: In his celebrated book Dune, which recently was adapted into a feature film available in movie theaters and for streaming on HBO, the author Frank Herbert observed the destructive power of fear. ‘I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer,” the story’s hero Paul Atreides says to himself. “Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.” While it’s natural to fear danger, Herbert was correct about its destructive power; and we saw ample evidence of this during the pandemic. Lockdowns, hygiene theater, and stay-at-home orders were all, to varying degrees, either mostly useless or positively destructive, but the common link they shared was they all stemmed from fear (which often was stoked by reckless and sloppy journalism).

Alexander Riley contributor to The American Mind: A small first step in opposing the logic of Woke hatred of life is to call it out ruthlessly and name it for what it is.  The antinatalists, like the rest of the Wokeist cult to which they belong, like to cloak themselves in a façade of care and compassion. They claim only to be concerned for alleviating the suffering of others. Children, in their absurd formulation, did not give informed consent to enter into the world of the living, and we must sufficiently pity them to desire their non-existence.

Ray DiLorenzo contributor to Canada Free Press explains the globalist elitist agenda and the pandemic that gave  them the way: The inflation and coming economic collapse, the constant dictates, shows an illegitimate government out of control, with a plan, making up for lost time these last five years. Former presidents and politicians from both parties were and still are working with these groups to change the world economic system. As Bush, Sr. frequently called it, a New World Order. They are godless and evil in their intent, willing to sell out their own country for riches, power, and a seat at the table. How else would they be able to take away everyone’s freedom, privacy, property, dictate where you live, and how many children you will have?

Frank Gaffney host of Securing America and Vice Chair for the Committee on the Present Danger: China:There is a lot of evidence behind  the Chinese bioengineering of weapons to target certain ethnic populations or subgroups of those populations.

Natasha Korecki & Nahal Toosi writing for Politico explain  the State Department’s lack of preparedness for the Afghanistan evacuation:  . . . officials say they were unclear of their own authorities and what policies they were allowed to employ to help evacuate people. It all triggered mental health issues for some staffers, from which some are still attempting to recover, months later.

Ted Noel contributor to American Thinker: Americans are fed up with feckless Republicans who claim that they are “fighting for them,” while vigorously negotiating how much freedom they will surrender in exchange for better committee positions or sotto voce promises of personal wealth after a few years of obeisance to “the Thing” from the Black Lagoon. That’s why so many voted for Donald Trump and are utterly repulsed by the radical socialists wearing the “D” label. Ordinary Americans see this evil.

Julie Kelly senior contributor to American Greatness:So, what on Earth turned two decorated veterans with a history of helping people in crisis into “insurrectionists” who attacked police officers? It was what they saw when they approached the tunnel around 3 p.m. on January 6.

Megan Brenan reporting for Gallup News: Americans’ support for stricter gun control has fallen five percentage points to 52%, the lowest reading since 2014. At the same time, 35% of U.S. adults think laws covering the sale of firearms should be kept as they are now and 11% favor less strict laws.

Daniel Greenfield contributor to Frontpage Magazine:The government never gets smaller, it just finds new constituencies for making it bigger. Using UFOs to make government bigger is innovative, albeit leads to the same exact place. I can’t wait until the committee discovers that the root cause of UFOs is a lack of equity and can only be solved with more community grants.

GLOBAL RESET

DiLorenzo: The Right Major Crisis Is Here
When a group of nefarious people (a globalist cabal) develop big plans and need the right major crisis to begin implementation, they create one. And create they did. But, no one wants to talk about it in the mainstream media or government. They would rather laugh and dismiss it as conspiracy. Why? Because they are all part of it. They want you to believe everything is normal with only a few temporary setbacks on the way to ‘building back better’, while they secretly remove the foundations upon which our country rests. Americans are now feeling apprehensive. They can feel something vile is in the air, but still can’t put their collective fingers on it. The mood is one of anxiety and distress. The labor force, despite lies from D.C., is down significantly. People have been forced to leave their jobs or succumb to taking vaccines deadlier than the disease itself. All because of a virus marginally more dangerous than the flu. By the way, what happened to the flu? This so-called ‘pandemic’, that kills a small fraction of its victims, is getting a reaction from government way out of proportion to its risks.

JANUARY 6

Kelly: Terror in the Capitol Tunnel
In 2018, after a local news crew filmed Ryan Nichols rescuing dogs abandoned by their owners after Hurricane Florence, the former Marine appeared on the “Ellen DeGeneres Show.” Not only did DeGeneres commend Nichols’ longtime work as a search-and-rescue volunteer, she donated $25,000 to the Humane Society in his name and gave Ryan and his wife, Bonnie, a $10,000 check to pay for the honeymoon they had missed the year before so Ryan could assist rescue efforts in the wake of Hurricane Harvey. […]  Three years after his appearance on the DeGeneres show, Nichols was featured on another program, but this time, Nichols spoke from the fetid confines of a political prison in the nation’s capital. And instead of telling a heroic story of saving dogs drowning in rising flood waters, Nichols told Newsmax host Greg Kelly a harrowing tale of what he saw at the U.S. Capitol on January 6. “We showed up in good faith . . . to protest the election results but never would have imagined we would encounter the horrors that we did on the west terrace and in the tunnel that day,” Nichols explained to Kelly in a phone interview on November 9. “When I saw women being beaten and in distress, my rescue instinct kicked in and I knew I had no choice but to help rescue them.” Nichols’ account is detailed in an appalling new court filing that confirms what American Greatness has reported for months: on January 6, D.C. Metro and Capitol police assaulted nonviolent protesters with explosive devices, rubber bullets, tear gas, and in some cases, their own fists and batons.

ELECTION INTEGRITY

Conradson: AUDIO: Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich’s Election Integrity Investigators Interrogate Former Maricopa County Recorder Adrian Fontes
TGP reported that Roger Geisler, a special agent with Brnovich’s major-fraud unit, interrogated Fontes but according to AZ Central, Fontes did not suggest he was the target of a criminal probe. It is unknown how the audio recording was obtained but nobody else seems to have it. As was done with the Arizona audit’s final report, MSNBC is creating a spin saying “tapes reveal Arizona officials know the investigation into the 2020 election was a sham.”. Could this be another fake news leak to get ahead of the real narrative? [NOTE: Fontes, a Democrat,  was Maricopa County Recorder for the 2020 election.]

THE SECOND AMENDMENT

Brenan: Stricter Gun Laws Less Popular in U.S.
Gallup has been tracking the public’s views on this measure since 1990, when the nation’s crime rate was high and a record 78% of Americans supported stricter laws for gun sales. Since then, calls for tougher gun control have generally spiked in the wake of prominent mass shootings and faded as the memory of each receded. As recently as three years ago, after the Parkland, Florida, school shooting, support for increased gun control rose to 67%, the highest point since 1993. It remained elevated until it began to fall last year. The latest decline in support for stricter gun laws, from an Oct. 1-19 Gallup poll, follows a seven-point drop last year. The decline in support for stricter gun laws last year was mostly due to a 14-point drop among Republicans, to 22% — the group’s lowest point on record. This year’s decrease is driven by a 15-point plunge among independents. For their part, Democrats’ desire for more restrictive gun laws ticked up to 91%.

THE DEMOCRAT LED WAR ON CHILDREN

Parker: University Performs an ‘Antiracism’ Experiment — on Four-Year-Olds
At the University of Texas at Austin, they’re investigating antiracism training. And researchers are in luck, as they’ve got blank slates for their studies. For test subjects, the school’s using four-year-old children. The miniature volunteers need only meet a simple standard: Each tot must be the color of a tater.
The inside, that is — preschool participants have to be white, the same as their accompanying caregivers. Five-year-olds can join as well, so long as they’ve not yet enrolled in kindergarten. […]  A few questions come to mind: Is a four-year-old old enough to be racist? If not, is the “anti” element warranted?
Why should such a young child be made aware of his or her race, much less its alleged evils? What kind of parent would subject their youngster to such an experiment? Whatever the answers, GoKAR’s looking to the future: It officially endorses “Woke Kindergarten.” Here’s a sampling: . . .

Miltimore: Swine Flu Was Far More Deadly to Children Than COVID-19
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio this week announced he is considering requiring children as young as five years old to demonstrate proof of vaccination to enter private establishments, such as restaurants and gymnasiums. […]  Last week, San Francisco lawmakers announced their plan to extend vaccination passport requirements for children 5 to 11 years old, “the first major U.S. city to do so,” NBC News reports. The vaccine passports would apply to children seeking to attend private establishments such as restaurants, gyms, and sporting venues. […]  The CDC’s own data also show children are more likely to die from cancer, drowning, homicide, and suicide than COVID-19. (Note: the extent of the health risk varies based on the age group.)  […]  In fact, if you compare COVID-19 to previous viruses, the coronavirus is far less deadly to children. Swine flu, for example, resulted in roughly 19.5 million infections in children between the ages of 0-17 from April 2009-2010, causing 1,282 deaths. This means it had an infection fatality rate of 0.0066 percent. COVID-19, on the other hand, resulted in nearly 27 million infections in children between February 2020 and May 2021, causing 332 deaths. This means COVID had an infection fatality ratio of 0.0012 percent. In other words, the data suggest swine flu’s infection fatality rate in children was more than 5x higher than that of COVID-19. Put another way, . . . […]  Lucy McBride, a practicing internist in Washington, D.C. who writes for The Atlantic, recently pointed out the Delta variant doesn’t appear to “target kids,” as some feared. […]  Despite the evidence that COVID-19 poses a minuscule risk to children, there is a widespread effort to vaccinate them. The question is, why? There are probably a multitude of answers to this question, but one would seem to be this: Americans continue to be wildly misinformed about the COVID-19 risks.

BIDEN’S UNCONSTITUTIONAL MANDATE

Dr. Mercola: ‘Fully vaccinated’ will never happen: Global system of control will require constant COVID jabs
In recent years, and especially after the start of the COVID pandemic in 2020, major health organizations across the world have changed several definitions of medical terms, which in turn have a significant impact on everyday life. In fact, were it not for the World Health Organization changing its definition of “pandemic” back in 2009, we wouldn’t even be in this mess. Like the swine flu before it, SARS-CoV-2 would not have qualified as a pandemic were it not for the WHO erasing a few key words from the definition. Pre-2009, the official definition of a pandemic was: “… when a new influenza virus appears against which the human population has no immunity, resulting in several, simultaneous epidemics worldwide with enormous numbers of deaths and illness.” Then, in 2009, the WHO removed the severity and high mortality criteria (“enormous numbers of deaths and illness”), leaving the definition of a pandemic as “a worldwide epidemic of a disease.” By removing the restrictive criteria of severe illness causing high morbidity and leaving geographically widespread infection as the only criteria for a pandemic, the WHO has the ability to . . . […]  In September 2021, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shocked medical experts by changing the definition of a vaccine from . . . […]  The WHO changed their definition of herd immunity in October 2020, likely in anticipation of the global mass vaccination campaign. To reiterate, in the past, herd immunity meant . . . […]  Speaking of boosters, the rollout of COVID jab boosters means the CDC will most likely rewrite the definition of “fully vaccinated” as well. As reported by Axios, October 22, 2021: . . .

THE CASE FOR HOMESCHOOLING

FEE: New Harvard Study: Homeschoolers Turn Out Happy, Well-Adjusted, and Engaged
Researchers at Harvard University just released findings from their new study showing positive outcomes for homeschooled students. Writing in The Wall Street Journal last week, Brendan Case and Ying Chen of the Harvard Human Flourishing Program concluded that public school students “were less forgiving and less apt to volunteer or attend religious services than their home-schooled peers.” The scholars analyzed data of over 12,000 children of nurses who participated in surveys between 1999 and 2010 and found that homeschooled children were about one-third more likely to engage in volunteerism and have higher levels of forgiveness in early adulthood than those children who attended public schools. Homeschooled children were also more likely to attend religious services in adulthood than children educated in public schools, which the researchers noted is correlated with “lower risks of alcohol and drug abuse, depression and suicide.”

Miller: Support for stricter gun laws drops 5% reaching lowest point since 2014: Gallup
Americans’ support for stricter gun control laws, according to Gallup, has fallen five percentage points since last year down to 52% which is the lowest reading since 2014. Additionally, the poll shows that 35% of U.S. adults believe that firearm sale laws should be kept as they currently are and only 11% believe in tightening them further.  Gallup notes that the decline in desire for stricter gun laws this year was driven by a 15% drop among independents while Democrats’ desire for stricter laws rose 6 points to 91%.

(Scottsdale, AZ) Conradson: WATCH: Mother Targeted By Greenburg Dossier – “It’s Horrifying. I Was Shocked And DISGUSTED.” – AG Brnovich, “Get This Man-child Off Of Our School Board”
The evidence is clear-cut. Jann-Michael Greenburg and his father were busted by parents who discovered their creepy dossier. Mark Greenburg, the psychotic father of Jann-Michael compiled information on parents that were deemed political enemies of the board. Mark cyberstalked parents, hired private investigators to track parents, performed background checks, and physically stalked parents on school property. Greenburg hid behind a motorcycle helmet and photographed parents while using a body camera to record them. […]  Mark Greenburg clearly hated these people and he wanted to make them feel terrified. One recording shows Mark Greenburg cyberstalking parents and he says “I really want Edmond to die. I’ll be so happy, I’ll have a f*cking party.”

Schow: College Democrats In Disarray: Accusations Of Bigotry Fly, DNC Considering Disaffiliation
One doesn’t often hear about the College Democrats of America (CDA) unless they’re protesting some alleged microaggression on campus, but apparently the organization is in disarray. The organization is “in turmoil,” according to Politico, which reported that the “group’s leaders are publicly firing off accusations of anti-Blackness, Islamophobia and anti-Semitism at each other” largely based on things they tweeted when they were younger teens – years before college.
