Daily News Roundup

NOTABLE QUOTES

John Greene contributor to American Thinker: If left unchecked, what does the dystopian future of the FBI look like?  When the trust of the public is lost, the cooperation of the public will also be lost.  Eventually, people will not know if the agent standing at their door is asking a question about a legitimate crime or attempting to set someone up for political purposes.  The standard answer to any question will become, “I have nothing to say, get a subpoena or talk to my lawyer.” 

Foreign Policy mag’s deputy editor Cameron Abadi: “Democracy works by compromise, but climate change is precisely the type of problem that seems not to allow for it…That the world’s democracies are witnessing a growing spectrum of climate radicalism, both from the bottom up and the top-down, is not to suggest that authoritarian systems would do any better in solving the relevant political and economic issues involved in moving beyond the carbon economy. But it is a sign that democracy, in its current form, is not necessarily the path to a solution. It might, instead, be part of the problem.”

Michael Shellenberger best-selling author of “Apocalypse Never” & “San Fransicko” tweeted on 1/10/22:  Can progressive energy policies really be about the climate if they result in rising emissions? Are progressives really on the side of the working class if their policies result in higher energy prices? Do Soros, Bloomberg, & Steyer have the best interests of the people in mind

Henry F. Smith, Jr., M.D. contributor to American Thinker: . . . the escalating efforts to penalize the unvaccinated by their governments seem so irrational that it is not unreasonable to wonder: what the hell is going on?

Alex Berenson former NYT journalist,  author and Substack blogger: Now the World Health Organization has waved the white flag on Covid vaccine boosters too. WHO released a statement about Covid vaccines yesterday. It’s filled with the usual public health jargon and ass-covering, but one line stands out: a vaccination strategy based on repeated booster doses of the original vaccine composition is unlikely to be appropriate or sustainable. It’s over, people.

Vasko Kohlmayer contributor to American Thinker: This sudden change of course indicates that there is something in the data that has the powers that be seriously worried. When it came to the Covid vaccines, the medical authorities have displayed an astonishing level of tolerance for side effects and collateral damage. So much so that they were even willing to let some children die unnecessarily for the sake of their vaccine agenda. Their abrupt reversal indicates that they must have recognized that there is something very dangerous in dealing out successive doses of the vaccines. Publicly admitting that “frequent Covid-19 booster shots could adversely affect the immune system,” very likely means that the injections have already damaged many people’s health.

Kristi S. Hamrick  contributor to The Federalist: If you needed convincing that elections have consequences, a recklessly expanded abortion pill market is a case in point. All of this now leads to coming battles at the state level, where courageous legislators will have to do the job that the FDA has refused, protecting, and defending women from a predatory industry that wants death by mail no matter the cost in human suffering.

Sen. Marco Rubio contributor to The Federalist: Americans need to remember where the greatest threats to our democracy really lie. If we focus our attention on exaggerated problems and imaginary fears, rather than the leftist elite power grab unfolding before our very eyes, we do so at our own peril.

Bob Parks contributor to American Thinker: So, when the pundit class speculates about the motives for yet another Hillary run for the presidency, here’s something else to consider: She wouldn’t be doing so to get a second crack at Trump or try to help the country. It would only be to save her pantsuit-clad derriere. If she does go as far as announcing a run, you’ll know that really bad Durham news is soon to follow. Then, she’ll scream to her friends for sympathy, insisting it’s a political smear. She would know.

THE GREAT GLOBAL RESET

Blaze TV Staff: Glenn’s predictions for 2022: The economy, Russia, China, and … the return of Hillary Clinton?
Will 2022 be any better than the last two years? With the way things appear to be going, we may be in for a lot of changes as leaders across the globe push for the Great Reset, says Glenn Beck on the radio program this week.

Barnes & Nobel: Glenn Beck: The Great Reset: Joe Biden and the Rise of Twenty-First-Century Fascism
In The Great Reset: Joe Biden and the Rise of Twenty-First-Century Fascism, New York Times bestselling author and nationally syndicated radio host Glenn Beck argues that the American way of life will not survive the Great Reset and warns us to stop it before it’s too late to reverse course. An international conspiracy between powerful bankers, business leaders, and government officials; closed-door meetings in the Swiss Alps; and calls for a radical transformation of every society on earth—the Great Reset sounds like it is one henchman-with-an-eyepatch away from being the plot for the next James Bond movie.
But the Great Reset is not a work of fiction. It is a highly influential movement among the world’s elite to “reset” the global economy using banks, government programs, and environmental, social, and governance metrics. If they are successful and the Great Reset is finalized, it would put substantially more economic and social power in the hands of large corporations, international institutions, banks, and government officials, including Joe Biden, the United Nations, and many of the members of the World Economic Forum. In The Great Reset: Joe Biden and the Rise of Twenty-First-Century Fascism, Glenn Beck uses his trademark blend of humor, storytelling, and detailed analysis to reveal for the first time the unbelievable truth about the Great Reset, tying together nearly two decades of groundbreaking research about authoritarian movements and their efforts to fundamentally transform the United States. The roadmap to stopping the Great Reset begins with fully understanding what the free peoples of the world are up against, and no resource provides more information about this radical movement than Glenn Beck’s The Great Reset: Joe Biden and the Rise of Twenty-First-Century Fascism.

FDA: IT’S POLITICAL

Hamrick: Injury, Infertility, And Death From Chemical Abortions Are A-OK With The FDA
And seven other things that Big Abortion doesn’t want you to know about its love of death by mail for tiny children and sometimes even their mothers. […]  Corporate Abortion wants to be sure that the death toll stays on the rise from abortion and is willing to sacrifice their customers—women having abortions—in their zeal to ensure that babies don’t draw their first breath. As the Senate prepares to take up President Joe Biden’s pick for Food and Drug Administration Commissioner, Dr. Robert Califf, a force for deregulated chemical abortion pills in the Obama administration, it’s vital to understand the changes in abortion policy now affecting abortion industry tactics for years to come. In December, the FDA (the virtual Keystone Kops of science that handled the opioid and COVID catastrophes with equal skill, according to the Biden administration’s FDA nominee) bowed to the wishes of their friends in the abortion lobby (and their bosses) deciding that the pesky health and safety standards in place to ensure that women don’t suffer injury, infertility, or death from chemical abortion had to go. […]  To assist in understanding this experiment in DIY health care, here are a few facts to ponder. 1. These Pills Kill
Chemical abortion pills cause four times the complications as surgical abortion, with a risk of death that is ten times higher, according to a National Institute of Health Study. In fact, 26 women have died that we know of, reports the errant FDA. Some abortion activists try to argue that the pills are safe for a lot of women, which is slim comfort to those who die taking them.  Consider that most people won’t die in their car or in any accident, but we still wear seat belts just in case. Leave it to the FDA to abandon the women risking death just because not everyone will die, which doesn’t seem to be their universal policy. (Is this a good time to note that lots more people are wearing masks than will ever die of COVID?) 2. Women Can Be Sterilized . . . 3. DIY Abortion Isn’t Working . . . 4. Hear No Evil, See No Evil . . . 5. It’s a Boys’ Club for Big Abortion . . .

Schmidt & Feuer: Pence and Jan. 6 Committee Engage in High-Stakes Dance Over Testimony
As the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol rushes to gather evidence and conduct interviews, how far it will be able to go in holding former President Donald J. Trump accountable increasingly appears to hinge on one possible witness: former Vice President Mike Pence. Since the committee was formed last summer, Mr. Pence’s lawyer and the panel have been talking informally about whether he would be willing to speak to investigators, people briefed on the discussions said. But as Mr. Pence began sorting through a complex calculation about his cooperation, he indicated to the committee that he was undecided, they said.

Khan: GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy says he won’t cooperate with Jan. 6 committee
GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy says he will not voluntarily cooperate with the House select committee’s probe into the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. “This committee is not conducting a legitimate investigation as Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi took the unprecedented action of rejecting the Republican members I named to serve on the committee. It is not serving any legislative purpose,” McCarthy said in a statement Wednesday night. “The committee’s only objective is to attempt to damage its political opponents — acting like the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee one day and the DOJ the next.” McCarthy said in the release that his statements and private conversations have already been dispersed in the public domain and that he has “nothing else to add.”

Rimmer: Cheney says McCarthy ‘clearly trying to cover up what happened’ on January 6
Rep. Liz Cheney, the vice chairwoman of the House select committee investigating the January 6 insurrection, on Wednesday did not rule out the possibility of subpoenaing Kevin McCarthy for information the panel is seeking, suggesting the House’s top Republican is attempting to “cover up” what occurred that day. “We’re going to evaluate our options, but we will get to the truth,” Cheney, a Wyoming Republican, told CNN, when pressed on the committee’s options for dealing with the House minority leader’s refusal to cooperate. […]  “I wish that he were a brave and honorable man,” she told CNN. “He’s clearly trying to cover up what happened. He has an obligation to come forward and we’ll get to the truth.”

There have been 298 Hydroxychloroquine studies that show a 64% improvement in patients for COVID-19 patients.

Kane & Kounang: Pfizer’s Covid-19 antiviral pill was hailed as a game-changer, but supplies are scarce
Doctors rationing potentially game-changing Covid-19 drug. […]  Molnupiravir reduces the rate of hospitalizations in high-risk patients by about 30% and carries some possible side effects, but Paxlovid reduces the rate of hospitalizations by around 90% and is considered safer. In other words, Paxlovid is a bit of an antiviral superstar. “I actually consider it the biggest advance in the pandemic since the vaccines, and the safety is part of it,” Dr. Eric Topol, executive vice president for research at Scripps Research in San Diego, told CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta. “It’s very rare to see something with this much efficacy of nearly 90% reduction of hospitalizations and deaths with no safety issue beyond placebo.” The bad news? Supply is very limited for both but especially for Paxlovid. Patients and their doctors are struggling to find it. Just 160,000 courses have been delivered across the country, . . .[…]  Desi Kotis, an associate dean at the University of California, San Francisco School of Pharmacy and the chief pharmacy executive for UCSF Health, said UCSF was the only one out of the five University of California campuses (including Los Angeles and San Diego) to receive Paxlovid. “UCSF only got 40 patients worth, and it was gone pretty quickly: in less than 10 days,” she said, adding that once the Paxlovid was gone, they moved on to molnupiravir. “We are not getting the supply that’s needed,” Kotis said. “The numbers are not even near close to reasonable terms. … And there’s no rhyme or reason how the supply is being allocated.” She said UCSF isn’t due for another shipment until the last week in January.

FAUCI’S VIRIS: IT’S POLITICAL

VDH: Politicizing COVID-19 From the Start
From the moment COVID-19 appeared, the pandemic became inseparable from politics.[…]  Politicizing the pandemic is a euphemism. In truth, thousands of Americans have died needlessly because of weaponized disinformation about China’s culpability, vaccines, useful drugs, lockdowns, racial preferences, and long-term care facilities.

Fauci Was Warned About Possible Gain-Of-Function Creation Of COVID-19 In January 2020, Newly Transcribed Emails Show
Two scientists, Michael Farzan of the Scripps Research Institute and Robert Garry of Tulane University, noted properties of the virus that they believed pointed to enhanced transmissibility stemming from gain-of-function research. The opinions of both men were provided to Fauci, then-National Institutes of Health head Francis Collins, and then-NIH Principal Deputy Director Lawrence Tabak in an email from researcher Jeremy Farrar sent on Jan. 31, 2020. The existence of the emails was first revealed by Buzzfeed News in June 2021, but they were released with significant redactions. Due to classification rules, the emails could only be viewed by the Republican committee members and staff, who could then take notes and transcriptions in a classified setting.

Malone: Tidal Wave of Documents on Gain-of-Function and the Leak of the Virus
There is so much news hitting the streets that is that is being censored by main stream media and social media today, that it is overwhelming easy comprehension. Let’s start with the letter to sent to Secretary of the HHS, Xavier Becerra from Representatives Jim Jordan (Ranking Member, Committee on the Judiciary) and James Comer (Ranking Member, Committee on Oversight and Reform). Here is the opening excerpt:  . . . The letter goes on: Rather than be transparent with the Committee, HHS and NIH continue to hide, obfuscate, and shield the truth. By continuing to refuse to cooperate with our request, your agencies are choosing to hide information that will help inform the origins of the ongoing pandemic, prevent future pandemics, respond to future pandemics, inform the United States’ current national security posture, and restore confidence in our public health experts. HHS and NIH’s continued obstruction is likely to cause irreparable harm to the credibility of these agencies. The emails released today raise significant questions, including but not limited to:
1. Did Drs. Fauci or Collins warn anyone at the White House about the potential COVID-19 originated in a lab and could be intentionally genetically manipulated?
2. If these concerns were not shared, why was the decision to keep them quiet made? […]  More on the Project Veritas data dump. Minor main stream media outlets are already trying to cast aspersions on the Veritas documents, although as of yet, they have yet to strike a direct hit. Their tactic out of the box are to attack Veritas, and smear the legitimacy of the documents (without evidence, near as I can tell). All the while, ignoring the contents of the documents themselves. Did “we” really expect anything more from them? I will be the first to say that we don’t have full verification, but . . .

Pullman: No, Those Who Pushed Lockdowns Can’t Hide From The Consequences Now
Did any of these people tell the truth back when it could have saved the generation that comprises the world’s future? Nope. Americans are starting to feel the increasing collateral damage from our unprecedented, ineffective, and ill-advised Covid lockdowns. It was known before March 2020 that lockdowns would cause lifelong and avoidable damage to billions, yet the world’s ruling classes who claim to have earned their place atop a “meritocracy” strenuously demanded such damage be inflicted especially on children and other vulnerable people.This ruling class used all their massive financial, communications, and government powers to ensure these tragic outcomes, even though anyone who was an actual expert—or, like me, just someone who reads and has common sense—predicted this false “cure” would hurt worse than the disease. 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.

Kohlmayer: Booster Bust: Medical Establishment Changes Its Mind
There is a tectonic shift underway in the medico-scientific establishment: they are starting to walk back boosters. […]  Around the same time the World Health Organization (WHO) put out a statement which included this astounding sentence: “[A] vaccination strategy based on repeated booster doses of the original vaccine composition is unlikely to be appropriate or sustainable.” This was a truly startling development since until a week before medical authorities world over were speaking about the need for the fourth (and even subsequent) shots. In fact, some countries like Britain and Israel have already started their administration. This sudden change of course indicates that there is something in the data that has the powers that be seriously worried. When it came to the Covid vaccines, the medical authorities have displayed an astonishing level of tolerance for side effects and collateral damage. So much so that they were even willing to let some children die unnecessarily for the sake of their vaccine agenda. Their abrupt reversal indicates that they must have recognized that there is something very dangerous in dealing out successive doses of the vaccines. Publicly admitting that “frequent Covid-19 booster shots could adversely affect the immune system,” very likely means that the injections have already damaged many people’s health.

Hubbard: Democrats support photo ID to dine out in D.C. but oppose it for voting absentee
Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser is set to require photo identification and a vaccine passport to dine out or work out in the nation’s capital — even as her party vows parliamentary scorched earth to power through a national ban on requiring photo ID — or any documentary proof of identity — to vote absentee.
[…] The D.C. photo ID requirement comes into effect just as President Biden has endorsed scrapping the Senate filibuster so that his party can force through on a party-line, 51-50 vote election overhaul legislation outlawing requirements “to submit any form of identifying document as a condition of obtaining or casting an absentee ballot.” Under the patchwork of new D.C. restrictions and preferences governing freedom of movement, people will not be required to show ID and a vax card to enter grocery stores, places of worship and government offices. They will, however, need to show their documents for . . .

(June 2, 2021) Seneff & GreenMedInfo: SARS-COV-2 Vaccines and Neurodegenerative Disease
People don’t realize that these vaccines are vastly different from the many childhood vaccines we are now used to getting early in life. I find it shocking that the vaccine developers and the government officials across the globe are wrecklessly pushing these vaccines on an unsuspecting population. Together with Dr. Greg Nigh, I recently published a peer-reviewed paper on the technology behind the mRNA vaccines and the many potentially unknown consequences to health . Such unprecedented vaccines normally take twelve years to develop, with only a 2% success rate, but these vaccines were developed and brought to market in less than a year. As a consequence, we have no direct knowledge of any effects that the vaccines might have on our health over the long term. However, knowledge about how these vaccines work, how the immune system works and how neurodegenerative diseases come about can be brought to bear on the problem in order to predict potential devastating future consequences of the vaccines. […]  Our paper showed that there are several mechanisms by which these vaccines could lead to severe disease, including autoimmune disease, neurodegenerative diseases, vascular disorders (hemorrhaging and blood clots) and possibly reproductive issues. There is also the risk that the vaccines will accelerate the emergence of new strains of the virus that are no longer sensitive to the antibodies produced by the vaccines. When people are immune compromised . . . […]  The COVID-19 vaccines are all based on supplying genetic code to produce the spike protein that is the main constituent of the SARS-CoV-2 protein cage that encloses its RNA contents. Both the DNA vector and the RNA vaccines induce the vaccine-infected cell to manufacture many copies of the spike protein according to the code. Through experimentation, researchers have determined that the spike protein is toxic even when introduced all by itself. In a revealing experiment, . . . […]  In another experiment, researchers showed that spike protein can . . . [NOTE: The Epoch Times published this article today]

BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA REGIME: TRANSFORMING FOREIGN POLICY

Iran: ‘Hard Revenge’ for Soleimani Killing Will Come From ‘Within’ the U.S.
The Islamic Republic finds its perfect moment, Last Thursday was the second anniversary of the killing of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani; while the date passed virtually unnoticed in the United States, it was a major event in the Islamic Republic of Iran, featuring numerous threats of revenge from enraged Iranian leaders. One of these stood out from the others: Soleimani’s successor as Quds Force commander declared that the revenge would come from inside the United States. Iran’s state-controlled Tasnim News Agency reported that Brigadier General Esmaeil Qaani was “delivering a speech to a ceremony in Mashhad” for the anniversary of the “martyrdom” of Soleimani. Qaani was in no mood to be conciliatory. He thundered: “We will prepare ground for the hard revenge against the US from within their homes, as we do not need to be present as supervisors everywhere, wherever is necessary we take revenge against Americans by the help of people on their side and within their own homes without our presence.” “From within their homes.” It’s not an implausible threat, thanks to Old Joe Biden’s essentially nonexistent Southern border.

Samuels: Quinnipiac poll shows Biden with 33 percent approval rating
And it follows a broader trend of underwater polling numbers for Biden as he grapples with a series of difficult issues to tackle, such as rising prices, a persistent coronavirus pandemic and disagreements within his own party that have stalled progress on his Build Back Better agenda. Wednesday’s tough poll numbers are attributed largely to poor marks from independent voters, 57 percent of whom said they disapproved of Biden’s job performance compared to 25 percent who approved. Biden also saw his approval among Democrats dip from 87 percent in November to 75 percent in the latest poll. Among registered voters, 35 percent approved of Biden’s job performance, while 54 percent disapproved, according to the poll.

If we’re going to attack, I’m going to call you ahead of time. It’s not going to be a surprise.” General Milley has yet to be indicted.

“Morning Joe, Biden and everybody in between on that side of the fence focus on this low unemployment rte number, but it’s not low unemployment rate. When you factor in all the people who are long term discouraged workers, all the people who are resigning early… that unemployment rate is more than double that. So the one bright spot they say exists isn’t even a bright spot, and then from there everything else falls apart…. The Fed is threatening interest rate hikes… That’s going to slow things down. Mortgage rates are going up, food prices are up, gasoline prices are up, housing prices are going through the roof.”

Stieber: Fauci’s Financial Disclosures Available, but Not Right Away
“I don’t understand why you’re asking me that question. My financial disclosure is public knowledge and has been for the last 37 years or so,” responded Fauci, who has been in his position since 1984. Marshall said his office had not been able to locate Fauci’s disclosures and wondered where they were. He said there was “an air of appearance of some shenanigans” because Fauci learns of some issues before the general public, though he doesn’t think anything untoward has happened. “All you have to do is ask for it,” Fauci said. An NIAID spokesperson confirmed to The Epoch Times in an email that Fauci submits disclosures but added that they’re only sent to people who fill out a specific form (pdf) requesting them.

Kristenev: Divide, Isolate and Besiege to Disarm and Detain Dissidents
There is a strategy at work to separate families from neighbors and communities. Instituting unconstitutional mandates is a ploy to get families and individuals holed-up in their own homes to cut-off physical and emotional contact from friends and neighbors. It isolates residents from the rest of the community, where occupants who are too frightened to emerge from their personal bastions of “safety” when armed operatives of the state arrive on the neighbor’s doorstep to collect them for disobeying a dictate. Militarized power of the State In the event of a house or apartment being targeted and surrounded by government agents, it won’t matter whether the family possesses protective firearms. Why? Because they won’t be able to withstand a military assault on a single dwelling. […]  Forcing people in every corner of the United States to “socially distance” and lock themselves away in their homes, they have been groomed to be sitting ducks for assault teams to target and be pressured to capitulate without discussion. […]  Fear is the preferred tool of authoritarians to solidify their power base. It is the mechanism used to induce individuals to cower from family members or friends they’ve known for years, believing the propaganda that their one-time associates are instigating cultural collapse or, in the case of Covid terror, are disease carriers. […]   The answer isn’t vigilantism. It’s vigilance, voices and being visible. Neighborhood Watch may be due for an upgrade. […]  Vaccine mandates are a separation tool implemented to initiate the devolution of our communities and families into unconnected housing units that can’t stand alone against what amounts to an organized military attack. Nor are individual homeowners able to withstand an influx of lawless gangs casing neighborhoods and businesses to take advantage of government imposed isolation. Awareness of the policy meant to create a social divide is important to defeat an authoritarian or criminal ambush.

THE DEMOCRAT LED WAR ON CHILDREN

Smythe: USA Today Becomes the Latest American News Outlet to Promote Pedophilia.
USA Today is following in the footsteps of fellow far-left media outlets like CNN by posting articles in support of leniencies for pedophiles in North America. In a series of now-deleted Tweets, USA Today Life posted links to an article first entitled “What the public keeps getting wrong about pedophilia”. After people on Twitter responded with disgust and outrage to the borderline pro-pedophilia article, USA Today renamed the article, “The complicated research behind pedophilia.”

Shiver: NYC students walk out of classes en masse over allegedly unsafe learning conditions, demand remote learning. City leaders offer wholehearted support.
Hundreds of New York City high schoolers staged a mass walkout Tuesday in protest of supposedly unsafe learning conditions in the city’s schools. Meanwhile, city leaders — rather than discouraging the students from leaving — offered them their “wholehearted support.” […]  “It doesn’t feel safe to be in school, to be honest,” one sophomore student told the Daily News. “In my classes, half the classes aren’t there. Some have COVID, some are afraid of COVID, and the school just isn’t doing anything about it.” […]  One would think the adults in the room (city) would step up amid the walkout to make it clear to students that they aren’t the ones in charge. But instead, some education officials took the opposite approach.

Westfall: Fentanyl is becoming more accessible to kids on social media, raising alarms for parents
The deadly drug has been found in vape pens on high school campuses in recent months. And officials have a growing concern that middle school, high school, and college-aged kids are being targeted as criminals make fentanyl pills disguised as oxycodone, Adderall, and Xanax. Jamie Puerta’s only child, Daniel, was 16 when he died after taking a pill containing a lethal dose of fentanyl. […] Last month, police confiscated vape pens laced with fentanyl from students at least two American high schools. One in Madisonville, Tennessee, and another in Norwalk, Connecticut. […]  When asked how most students get their hands on illicit drugs like Fentanyl, Pleitez said “Snapchat, Instagram, people from their school, it’s everywhere.” “Too many children are dying, and there should be no reason for this,” Puerta said. {NOTE: The Drug Cartels’ Man in the White House https://amgreatness.com/2022/01/12/the-drug-cartels-man-in-the-white-house/ ]

Clark: Video Appears To Show Fairfax County Elementary Schoolers Learning Outside In Below Freezing Temps
A mother in Fairfax County, Virginia took a video Tuesday that appears to show elementary school students eating and learning outside in below-freezing temperatures, according to posted footage. The Fairfax County Parents Association, a nonpartisan organization aimed at removing politics from public schools, posted the video. It appears to show young children maskless, sitting on the curb of Waynewood Elementary School. Fairfax, Virginia reported a high of 27 degrees Fahrenheit, according to a forecast tracker. […]  Jennifer Sellers, a spokesperson for Fairfax County Public Schools, told the Daily Caller that third-grade students were outside for a “snack and mask break.” Students were allegedly outside for less than seven minutes, per the district’s spokeswoman. […]  Fairfax County Public Schools did not answer whether the “snack and mask break” was part of a COVID-19 mitigation plan.

EDUCATION INDOCTRINATION

Rosiak: A Red State Just Spent Money For Handicapped Pre-Schoolers On CRT Training
North Carolina is on blast from parents’ groups after the state school board approved a $7 million federal grant called the Preschool Handicapped Grant to be used for “Equity and Cultural Responsiveness in the Early Childhood Classroom.” “Preying on disabled 3 year old children – getting them to participate in a political movement, and to hate themselves based on skin color in the process, shows our public schools to be more morally corrupt than all others,” Sloan Rachmuth, president of the group Education First Alliance, said in a press release. “With this vote, North Carolina’s schools became the most radically divisive system in America.” […]  North Carolina has a Republican-dominated legislature and its State Superintendent, Catherine Truitt, is also a Republican. Yet critical race theory has overtaken the state perhaps even more than most blue regions. That is in no small part because of the school of education at UNC. It is also because politicians are generally involved at the high-level policy stage, whereas the devil often resides in the details, which are often implemented by staff, consultants, and activists.

CLIMATE EMERGENCY: IT’S POLITICAL

Michael Shellenberger: Why Democrats Make Energy Expensive (And Dirty)
Progressive Democrats @BernieSanders & @PramilaJayapal, the head of the progressive caucus, sent a letter demanding the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) investigate whether “market manipulation” is causing nat gas prices to rise 30%, an astonishing $746 per household. But the main reason natural gas prices are rising is because progressives have restricted production. Sanders, Jayapal, and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) & other progressives successful fought to restrict gas production through bans on fracking & pipelines. In 2020, Sanders celebrated efforts by progressives to cancel the Atlantic Coast pipeline. […] Indeed, it would be naive to think that Sanders and other progressives didn’t realize that blocking pipelines, opposing fracking, and subsidizing renewables would make energy expensive, given that making energy expensive has been the highest goal of their main climate advisor, Bill McKibben, who subscribes to the Malthusian view that there are too many humans and we must restrict energy and development. [Note: Today, New England is facing rolling blackouts and importing natural gas from Russia.]

Brian Gitt 1/6/22 twitter thread: Feeling like you’re doing the right thing doesn’t mean you are. For years, I felt like I was protecting the environment. I was wrong! But I couldn’t admit it. My sense of identity was tied to false beliefs about energy–myths that blinded me to what *does* help the planet: 10 Energy Myths  Myth 1: Solar and wind power are the best ways to lower greenhouse gas emissions  Fact: The biggest emissions reductions over the last 15 yrs have been due to shifts from coal to natural gas. Natural gas produces only 10% of the air pollutants & 50% the CO2 that coal does. MYTH 2: The world is transitioning to solar, wind & batteries. Fact A: Solar & wind produce only <3% of global energy, after $2.7 TRILLION invested over the last decade. Fact B: Solar, wind & batteries over-consume minerals & land, & are too unreliable & expensive at scale. MYTH 3 . . .
