NOTABLE QUOTES

Victor Davis Hanson contributor to American Greatness:   When ideology in places like Castroite Cuba, the old Soviet Union, and Venezuela warped the application of the law, destroyed the role of merit in assessing qualifications, silenced speech, and unequally applied the law, then society unwound. In such ideological dystopias, eventually even the shelves empty, the currency becomes worthless, and the nation regresses into poverty and chaos. Is that the future we await? Scarier still, ideology ensures that such chaos is heralded as success. Critics are demonized and hounded. And the obsequious state media assures the public that things are going just great.

Ned Ryun contributor to American Greatness: In a rational world, where common sense prevails, most of the American people would be deeply concerned with these fascist tendencies from one of the two major parties in this country. Instead, the corporate propagandists and bureaucrats from D.C. to various states want to gaslight people that it’s the people standing up for their freedoms who are the dangerous ones.

Issues & Insights Editorial Board: It’s been said that a crisis doesn’t create character, it reveals it. Far too often, the pandemic has shown that many Americans in positions of authority are of poor character. At least we know who the sadists are, since they so helpfully identified themselves. The line between being overly cautious and just plain cruel has been crossed repeatedly. This is where we are today in what had previously been thought of as civilization.

Sam Brinton President Biden’s  deputy assistant secretary of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the Energy Department’s Office of Nuclear Energy: One of the hardest things about being a handler is that I’ve honestly had people ask, ‘Wait, you have sex with animals? They believe it’s abusive, that it’s taking advantage of someone who may not be acting up to a level of human responsibility… The other misperception is that I have some really messed up background, like, did I have some horrible childhood trauma that made me like to have sex with animals

PRESIDENT TRUMP

Pagliery: The Weird Law Prosecutors Could Use to Bar Trump From the White House
Late last month, Archives officials confirmed that some of the materials handed over to House investigators had indeed been “torn up” by the then-president. Some of the papers had to be painstakingly reassembled after they’d been left in absolute tatters by the 45th president of the United States.
But it’s this picayune practice, combined with Trump’s decision to improperly take boxes of documents that should have been turned over to the National Archives, that could, technically, prevent him from ever taking office again. That is, if prosecutors were bold enough to pursue the strange charges that are meant to follow someone willfully concealing, removing, or destroying any presidential records—or even attempting to do so. Every indication thus far is that they are not. […] . . . the punishment accompanying prosecution could be historically significant: Anyone who violates that law is “disqualified from holding any office under the United States.” It’s a powerful hammer that was used to convict Rear Admiral John Poindexter and Lt. Colonel Oliver North for the Iran-Contra affair in the 1980s. And while criminal charges against Trump may seem far-fetched, Trump critics say this could be used to crush Trump’s dream of returning to the White House in 2025.

The Right Scoop: WATCH: Tucker says FBI still doesn’t know who planted Jan 6th pipe bombs and now Kamala Harris is part of the story
In short, Tucker reveals that Kamala Harris wasn’t at the Capitol building like the DOJ initially claimed. She was at the DNC and it was her team that found the first pipe bomb, one minute before rioters ran on the Capitol. The FBI had claimed that the pipe bombs were set to distract Capitol police from the riot. But Tucker wonders how the ‘pipe bomber’ would have known that Kamala would be at the DNC to find the bomb one minute before the riot.

GOP

Justice: Liz Cheney Called Electoral Objections Unconstitutional And Then Sided With Democrats Who’d Done It For Years
In 2017, Democrats objected to more states attempting to certify their electoral votes than Republicans did last year. In their final phone conversation before rivalries emerged, Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney called political ally-turned-primary challenger Harriet Hageman to weigh the consequences of demanding that President Donald Trump concede the election. In Cheney’s recounting of the call in The New York Times on Wednesday, the incumbent congresswoman, who had just captured her third term at the time of the call, told Hageman it was unconstitutional to cast objections over the electoral votes of other states.
“And she said that she warned of setting a precedent that would allow Democrats in Congress to decide the legality of Wyoming’s electoral votes,” the Times reported. Except the precedent had already been set by Cheney’s own allies on the Jan. 6 Committee.

Arama: Liz Cheney Reveals Her True Priorities and That’s Going to Sink Her
Rep. Liz Cheney (RINO-WY) has tried to play the pure one — the one who is only siding with the Democrats because she was concerned about the Constitution, the one who wants to bring the Republicans back, and away from President Donald Trump. She stated outright the most important thing was to make sure he wasn’t able to run again. Now, that’s just so much nonsense. If you were siding with the Constitution, you would know to fight the Democrats at all costs because they are doing all they can to suborn the Constitution and move the country further left. But if that wasn’t already clear it was nonsense, she made it very clear with what she did on Saturday. Instead of being with local Wyoming Republicans, she chose her priority, by skipping out on a major GOP event/fundraiser.

THE DEMOCRAT LED WAR ON CHILDREN AND PARENTS

Piper: New York middle school play praises COVID vaccines, says unvaxxed kids won’t have friends
New York City public school put on a holiday show in which 5th-8th graders sang “It’s safe to vax and if your friends don’t vax then they ain’t no friends of mine,” according to a mother who attended and shared her recordings with Just the News. While the singing is hard to understand, the visual elements make clear the children at the Upper West Side’s M.S. 243 Center School are being taught to celebrate COVID-19 vaccines and single out unvaccinated peers’ […]  One video shows children holding signs for Pfizer and Moderna and singing a parody of . . . […]  Other children appear to be dressed as conservative caricatures: a box of Kool cigarettes, a man in fatigues with an American flag, Napoleon Bonaparte and the so-called QAnon shaman Jacob Chansley, who was sentenced to 41 months in prison for his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

FAUCI’S VIRUS: IT’S POLITICAL

Winters: EXC: Wuhan Lab Also Sought Influenza Strain For ‘Human Infection.’
The Wuhan Institute of Virology, which manipulated bat coronaviruses resembling COVID-19 to become deadlier to humans, appears to have carried out similar research on influenza, The National Pulse can reveal. An article posted to the Chinese-language website of the military-linked lab, which many public health and intelligence officials believed to be the source of COVID-19, details how researchers sought various avian influenza viruses (AIV) that had “zoonotic potential with human infections.”

Stiles: HALF A MILLION SOULS: Biden’s COVID Death Toll Passes 500K
Details: Despite promising to “shut down the virus” as commander in chief, Biden has presided over the deaths of 503,804 Americans from COVID since he took office on Jan. 20, 2021. That is almost 100,000 more than the number of Americans who died from COVID under former president Donald Trump. On average, more than 1,300 Americans have died from COVID every day that Biden has been president. Why it matters: That’s a lot of dead Americans. According to his own logic, Biden has thoroughly disqualified himself from serving as president. In October 2020, when roughly 200,000 Americans had died from COVID, then-candidate Biden said any leader who presided over that many deaths “should not remain as president of the United States of America.” What they’re saying: Not a damn thing. The media stopped caring about COVID deaths the minute Biden was sworn into office.

I & I Editorial Board: COVID Cruelty
It’s been said that a crisis doesn’t create character, it reveals it. Far too often, the pandemic has shown that many Americans in positions of authority are of poor character. At least we know who the sadists are, since they so helpfully identified themselves. The line between being overly cautious and just plain cruel has been crossed repeatedly. This is where we are today in what had previously been thought of as civilization: Hospitals across the country are removing unvaccinated organ transplant patients from waiting lists. Medical ethicists are fine with this, because the patients need to be protected from illnesses while their bodies accept the new organs, and they are prioritized based on their chances of survival. These “ethicists,” however, come off as vindictive, “othering” the unvaccinated in line with the narrative. Moving these patients lower on the list based on a risk they assume seems acceptable, dropping them altogether is not. It’s intentionally punitive and ghoulish. The decisions reinforce, as well, the naked fact that the vaccine mandates are authoritarian power plays. A Virginia hospital that refused to provide Ivermectin prescribed by a doctor to a dying COVID patient was found in contempt of court before it finally relented and allowed the drug to be administered. It was too late, though. The woman died five days after the judge’s ruling. At Georgetown University,​​ . . .  […]  These few stories are at the shallow end of the pool of depravity. There are many more to be told. We could even add lockdowns and mask mandates outside of school settings to the list, due to the damage they’ve caused with no benefits in return.

Thornton: The Mullahs Close in on the Bomb
While we try to figure out Russia’s intentions for Ukraine, Iran is getting closer to a deal that will leave it a nuclear power. Discussions in Vienna are back on, and hopeful dispatches are sent out by Western diplomats. But given Iran’s maximalist demands, and the Biden administration’s fetish of “diplomatic engagement,” things aren’t looking good for the region’s stability. Ever since Biden rejoined the talks to restart the deal Trump wisely walked away from, Iran has shown patent contempt for this country and its diplomats. Meanwhile, the advanced centrifuges keep spinning weapons-grade uranium.

BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA REGIME: TRANSFORMING AMERICA

Powell: EXC: New Biden Nuclear Hire Is Drag Queen Who Wears Stilettos to Work, Discusses Sex With Animals, And Calls NIH Chief ‘Daddy Fauci’.
A recent, high-level hire at the Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy is a drag queen, LGBTQ+ activist who has “lectured” on kink at college campuses and participated in interviews about fetish roleplay. In one interview, Sam Brinton – now a top Biden official – even discusses having sex with animals.
Brinton – who has written in opposition to “gay conversion therapy” – was recently tapped to serve as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the Office of Nuclear Energy for the Department of Energy. He also goes by “Sister Ray Dee O’Active” – his drag queen alter ego.
In his own website’s bio, Brinton reveals: . . . […]  He previously worked with the Obama White House on LGBTQ+ issues as well as Congress on nuclear policy. {Note: According to his profile on an LGBTQ website, has “a dual Master’s degree in engineering systems and nuclear science and engineering from MIT.”]

DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: CRITICAL RACE THEORY (WOKE IDENTITY POLITICS)

VDH: Why Ideology Is the Ancient Enemy of Civilization
What ultimately destroyed the evil empires of Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia were bankrupt dogmas. Crackpot ideology destroyed free expression. It ruined meritocracy and ensured unequal application of the laws—and so paved the way for far worse. The Nazi idea of a superior Aryan race adjudicated everything from physics to tank design. Soviet commissars did the same, subordinating rational thought to communist agendas. Zealots in both systems infiltrated the universities and schools to institutionalize indoctrination. Wokeism, while not yet as lethal, is similar. Racial wokeism posits that the race and gender of the vice president and the next Supreme Court justice subordinate all other considerations.

Ontario Court Freezes Access to GiveSendGo Crowdfunding for Freedom Convoy Truckers, UPDATE GiveSendGo Responds
Know this! Canada has absolutely ZERO jurisdiction over how we manage our funds here at GiveSendGo. All funds for EVERY campaign on GiveSendGo flow directly to the recipients of those campaigns, not least of which is The Freedom Convoy campaign. Ontario Premier Doug Ford has gone to court to freeze all of the GiveSendGo crowdfunding donations raised for the Freedom Convoy truckers.  The current GiveSendGo fundraiser sits at $8.4 million US. There is a lot of legal complexity here, and it is not clear the Ontario court has any jurisdiction let alone a feasible way to determine or enforce how and where the funds are distributed.   However, in the bigger picture the government is trying to block the funding of the Freedom Convoy. Premier Doug Ford is the leader of the “progressive conservative party,” the Canadian version of the DeceptiCons. […]  The masks are dropping at an alarming rate. Ford casted himself previously as the advocate for the blue-collar workers like truck drivers. However, when the rubber literally hits the road, the elitism comes directly to the surface.
