One of the more common demands of the generic anti-conspiracy-theory camp is, “Show me the organization.” This book review does that.

Biden loses all perspective

Predicably, in order to try to distract the country from his incompetence, Biden compares the Jan 6 riot to Pearl Harbor and 9/11.

Jan 6 was stupid and in some cases, criminal, but in no way comparable to attacks that killed thousands of innocents. Making such comparisons destroys one’s credibility.

But at this point I’m going to sit back with Napoleon(or at least some of his brandy) and watch them destroy themselves.

Kam and Joe demonstrated everything wrong with the Democratic Party in their presentation: Rhetoric, fallacy, drama, seizure.

“No question, now, what had happened to the faces of the pigs. The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.” (George Orwell, Animal Farm.)

Today, as it happens, is the religious holiday of Epiphany. I take it these politicians want to replace the commemoration with one of their own.

I found this pretty interesting and am curious to hear everyone’s thoughts. I think she nails the parts about the Left.

The Guardian looks at the state of the GOP. Here, from the article, is the key take-away:

“I have long said that January 6 was merely a dress rehearsal for how Republicans intend to try to hijack free and fair democratic elections in this country going forward,” added [Kurt] Bardella, a former Republican congressional aide.

“They know that when the playing field is level and everybody can participate in the democratic process, they cannot win, so the only recourse that they believe that they can obtain power is by throwing out democratic norms and overthrowing elections, even if that means using instruments of violence, fear and terror to do so.”



Repeal the Electoral Count Act

The law President Trump’s campaign sought to use to overturn the results of the election was also used by Democrats in 2000 to try to deny George Bush the election and again in 2016 to try to overturn Trump’s victory over Clinton.

It is a bipartisan bad idea. It should go.

The Constitution left the selection of Electors to the Electoral College to the states and so should Congress.

Whenever I post any comment or story — no matter how innocuous or carefully contextualized — that suggests Covid vaccines may cause harm, someone is bound to say it is a proven fact that the vaccines are safe and effective. A member of the Jump-Up-And-Down-I’m-Right-Read-My-Bloody-Lips set will even rehearse the canard that there is “no evidence” that Covid vaccines cause harm. It is to reach, if possible, people of such a mind set that I share the link at the top of this post.

The article says that the 40% increase in deaths is more improbable than a “one-in-200-year catastrophe.” The observation challenges many assumptions. What could be the cause?

Bigger than Biden

Driving home last week, I passed a yard sign that initially looked like a typical Christmas greeting. Crimson background with silver glitter stars and snowflakes and lettering. But it didn’t say Merry Christmas, it said “Let’s Go Brandon”

What started out as anger at President Biden has grown into a rallying cry for a rebellion against the elite. People know they are being lied to at all levels of government and academia.

So, “Remember the Alamo,” “Remember the Maine,” “Remember Pearl Harbor” and “Let’s Go Brandon” because we have had it.
