Top 5 Mask Nazis of 2020 - Louder With Crowder
Top 5 Mask Nazis of 2020 - Louder With Crowder:
2020 introduced us to many new phrases. Curbside pickup. Zoom Happy Hour. Peaceful protester. But a personal favorite of mine is the mask nazi. It's a niche genre. These are the masked bandits who wild out on people not being masked up in public places. I'm not calling them Hitler bad. Think more the Soup Nazi from Seinfeld. Though I'm sure if some of the people could have you thrown into a camp, they would.
We've had many a laugh at the expense of mask nazis. I've narrowed it down to my five favorites. Honorable mention goes to the kid who wanted to wear a Hooters mask to the fifth grade. Obviously, he's not the villain in the story. The mask nazis would be the people wanting to stifle his freedom of expression. But I felt he deserved a shout-out.
Mark Levin: Democrats Shamelessly Back 'Anti-Semites like Raphael Warnock for the U.S. Senate'
Mark Levin: Democrats Shamelessly Back 'Anti-Semites like Raphael Warnock for the U.S. Senate':
Conservative talk radio host Mark Levin stated Wednesday it is “truly shocking” Democrats will openly support “anti-semites like Raphael Warnock for the U.S. Senate” without any pushback, noting that it “portends a dangerous immorality by a party that has a long history of hatred dating back before the Civil War.”

When There Wasn't Enough Hand Sanitizer, Distilleries Stepped Up. Now They're Facing $14,060 FDA Fees.
When There Wasn't Enough Hand Sanitizer, Distilleries Stepped Up. Now They're Facing $14,060 FDA Fees.
"Distilleries just learned that to cap off a brutal year, the FDA is charging them a fee normally reserved for drug manufacturing facilities.
For many American craft distillers, 2020 was already one of their worst years ever.
The COVID-19-related closure of tasting rooms and cocktail bars, loss of tourism, and inability to offer in-store sampling slashed their sales revenue and cut them off from their customers.
Then this week, just as it seemed they'd made it through the worst of a terrible year, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had one more surprise in store: The agency delivered notice to distilleries that had produced hand sanitizer in the early days of the pandemic that they now owe an
unexpected fee to the government of more than $14,000...Read all.

Cultural appropriation?-----Hilaria Gets Married | Power Line
Hilaria Gets Married | Power Line
"The Hilaria Baldwin story gets funnier and funnier. Scott wrote about it here.
Briefly, “Hilaria” Baldwin, social media star and wife of the anti-Trump actor and activist Alec Baldwin, has been impersonating a Spanish immigrant for many years.
In fact, her name is Hillary Hayward-Thomas, and she is from Boston. Her father was a Boston lawyer and her mother was an internist at Massachusetts General Hospital and, I believe, on the faculty of Harvard Medical School. Hillary grew up in Boston and attended prep school there.
For sheer comedy, it will always be hard to top her Today show appearance, where, impersonating a Spaniard and talking about cooking, she uttered the immortal, heavily accented line: “We have very few ingredients. We have tomatoes, we have, um, how you say in English — cucumbers.”
How could the Daily Mail resist a story like this? The Mail has been digging into the past, and now reports on the Baldwins’ 2012 wedding:
EXCLUSIVE: The bride wore a mantilla! Inside Hilaria and Alec Baldwin’s NY wedding where they said ‘sí,’ waved flamenco fans and exchanged Cartier rings inscribed in Spanish – and later she said her family ‘couldn’t pronounce her new surname.’
This photo of the Baldwins at their wedding is hilarious, given what we know now. Still, one wonders: did Alec seriously believe that his wife was Spanish? Presumably not: her parents attended the wedding. (Hillary’s father’s family, by the way, has been in Massachusetts since before the Revolution.)...Read all.

Xi Jinping Celebrates China's Economic Boom in New Year Speech
Xi Jinping Celebrates China's Economic Boom in New Year Speech:
In reality, the Chinese Communist Party actively persecuted individuals seeking to limit the spread of what was, to medical experts, clearly an infectious disease by December 2019. Wuhan police arrested doctors and journalists sharing information on how to limit infections — basic instructions like washing hands and maintaining social distancing protocol — or basic information on the outbreak, and forced them to offer the public embarrassing apologies for alleged misinformation. One of those doctors, Li Wenliang, died of a coronavirus infection at age 34 in February. The Communist Party has since attempted to claim him as a martyr.
Kristi Noem Blasts Leftists' 'Unprecedented Attacks on our Freedoms,' Counters with Message of Hope - Louder With Crowder
Kristi Noem Blasts Leftists' 'Unprecedented Attacks on our Freedoms,' Counters with Message of Hope - Louder With Crowder:
We have seen unprecedented attacks on our freedoms in this country this year. We have seen people come after our freedom of speech. If the media and the leftists don't like what we say, you get banned. You get blacklisted. You get silenced. Your freedom of religion has been challenged because people have been told they can't go to church any more. And if they go to church, then they can't sing. And then we've seen our freedom of assembly be threatened as well. People are actually being told in some states who they can spend time with, how many people they can spend time with, and that freedom as well is being threatened. What I wanted to tell all of you today is that that isn't happening in South Dakota.

So what are the lessons from 2020, this year of Peak Insanity?
Bartholomew Chiaroscuro :
So what are the lessons from 2020, this year of Peak Insanity?
- First, there is now final and conclusive proof that the Media and Social Media companies are out of control, enormously powerful, chillingly uniform and bigoted, and the determined, ruthless, remorseless enemies of everything that is true and good. ..You should know that these people work in the industry of lies, for the agenda of treason...
- Second, the same applies with any mainstream political party. Most of these have already fallen. They are already poisoned and corrupted beyond the point at which they can serve any useful function for those who wish to be free....
What you should realise from 2020 is that you live in occupied territory...
Once you realise that the whole game is rigged, that the corruption is vaster and deeper than you ever imagined in your most cynical moments, there is strangely a kind of liberty in that.
Once you realise that the whole game is rigged, that the corruption is vaster and deeper than you ever imagined in your most cynical moments, there is strangely a kind of liberty in that.
If you know this, they cannot deceive you anymore.
They cannot break you. 
And no matter how much they control this society and direct our nations to destruction, they don’t own you.
You are free in your heart, even if your body is in chains, as long as you know the chains are there.
You cannot break those chains unless you can see them.
And the corrupt and the wicked cannot break you, not finally, not totally, not ultimately, unless you decide to be blind...Read all.
Blackburn on $2,000 Payments: Dems Want to Go Down Path of Guaranteed Minimum Income, Aid Must Be 'Targeted'
Blackburn on $2,000 Payments: Dems Want to Go Down Path of Guaranteed Minimum Income, Aid Must Be 'Targeted':
Blackburn said, “One of the things that is so frustrating about this is that you could have had a lot more money than $2,000 in the pocket of hard-working Americans, if back in July or September or twice in October or in November, that they had voted to increase unemployment by $300 per week. Now, we know that what the Democrats are trying to do with this is to put us on a pathway to a guaranteed minimum income, which is one of their socialist agenda items.”
