INSTITUTIONAL CORRUPTION

Instapundit--INSTITUTIONAL CORRUPTION

"From Soft Liberalism to Iron-Fisted Leftism in Today’s U.S. Military. 

“There is no doubt as to where all this is headed. 

The Pentagon’s swift and coordinated ‘smiting’ of Tucker Carlson, who had the gall to ‘diss’ the idea of sending pregnant women to war—an obviously absurd idea to all but the most politically correct officers grasping for a promotion—makes it very clear.”

This is what they do instead of winning wars, something they haven’t done even once this century despite nonstop combat.--Posted by Glenn Reynolds"

Horowitz: The shocking censorship of ivermectin and outpatient treatment guidance for COVID - TheBlaze: 

Yet, rather than his protocol becoming universal guidance in every American hospital and primary care office and promoted by the government, YouTube took down the Senate committee's video of his testimony. What gives? It's not like Dr. Kory said anything negative about the sacred trinity of lockdowns, masks, and vaccines. He merely touted a lifesaving, cheap cure to this virus.

Biden Places Border Agents Under Media 'Gag Order' While Denying Press Tours At the Border | MRCTV

"The Biden administration has effectively placed border agents under a “gag order,” banning immigration officials handling the ongoing crisis at the Southwest U.S. border from speaking to the media or giving tours that may expose the true nature of the latest record-breaking migrant wave.

According to NBC News, border agents have been verbally instructed by the administration to deny media requests for “ride alongs” and tours of overcrowded border facilities, and to make sure all questions from the press are passed through Washington, D.C. first.Border Patrol officials have been told to deny all media requests for "ride-alongs" with agents along the southern land border...Read all.

Damon Young: To Stop White Supremacy, Eliminate Whites | The American Conservative
"Damon Young, a black writer for The Root, a black-oriented commentary site owned by the same people who own Jezebel, Gizmodo, and The Onion (their parent company is Univision), had this to say at The Root about the Atlanta massage parlor mass murders:
"I don’t have much to add here today that hasn’t already been said.
Whiteness is a public health crisis. 

It shortens life expectancies, it pollutes air, it constricts equilibrium, it devastates forests, it melts ice caps, it sparks (and funds) wars, it flattens dialects, it infests consciousnesses, and it kills people—white people and people who are not white, my mom included. 
...White supremacy is a virus that, like other viruses, will not die until there are no bodies left for it to infect. 

Which means the only way to stop it is to locate it, isolate it, extract it, and kill it...Read all!!

Judge rules Michigan's Democratic secretary of state broke law with absentee ballot rule - TheBlaze: 

Additionally, the judge found that Benson did not follow the state's proper rule-making process, but instead circumvented the state legislature in issuing the guidance, and thus violated the state's Administrative Procedures Act. "The guidance issued by the Secretary of State on October 6, 2020, with respect to signature-matching standards was issued in violation of the Administrative Procedures Act," Murray wrote in conclusion.

The Feds' Sorry Record on COVID-19 | Cato Institute

"...Just consider the disappointing, even tragic, analyses that have been appearing over the past year:

• The federal government had reports and warnings and war games about pandemic danger at least as far back as 2001, but was apparently unprepared when it hit.
  
• Simulations as recently as 2019 predicted that agencies would fail to work together even after all those reports and plans.
• A Seattle lab doing a flu study proposed in February 2020 to start monitoring the novel coronavirus. When it couldn't get approval from state and federal officials, the lab went ahead on its own. As the New York Times reported, "the Seattle Flu Study illustrates how existing regulations and red tape — sometimes designed to protect privacy and health — have impeded the rapid rollout of testing nationally."...

...When disasters happen, people naturally turn to government for a response. 

But our experience with disaster response should remind us not to expect too much and to avoid regulations and crowding-out that impede responses by private-sector businesses, nonprofits, and individuals...Read all.

Far-left Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler is asked why 'white supremacists' share blame with 'anarchists' for city violence, destruction. His reply is a doozy. - TheBlaze: 

In the wake of more left-wing violence and destruction in Portland over the weekend, left-wing Mayor Ted Wheeler was asked during a virtual news conference why "white supremacists" share the blame with "anarchists" for criminal behavior in the streets of Portland — even though all the lawlessness consistently points to Antifa and Black Lives Matter militants.

Fear our government!-----THEY’RE LYING ABOUT RUSSIAN INFLUENCE TO ADVANCE WHAT AMOUNTS TO A DOMESTIC COUP

Instapundit-THEY’RE LYING ABOUT RUSSIAN INFLUENCE TO ADVANCE WHAT AMOUNTS TO A DOMESTIC COUP

"...AND THE PRESS IS HELPING BECAUSE IT SUPPORTS THEM: Matt Taibbi: A list of official falsehoods about Russian influence.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) has released a much-hyped, much-cited new report on “Foreign Threats to the 2020 Elections.” . . .

The report added Ukrainian legislator Andrey Derkach, described as having “ties” to “Russia’s intelligence services,” and Konstantin Kilimnik, a “Russian influence agent” (whatever that means), used “prominent U.S. persons” and “media conduits” to “launder their narratives” to American audiences. The “narratives” included “misleading or unsubstantiated allegations against President Biden” (note they didn’t use the word “false”). They added a small caveat at the end: “Judgments are not intended to imply that we have proof that shows something to be a fact.”

As Glenn Greenwald already pointed out, the “launder their narratives” passage was wolfed down by our intelligence services’ own “media conduits” here at home, and regurgitated as proof that the “Hunter Biden laptop story came from the Kremlin,” even though the report didn’t mention the laptop story at all. Exactly one prominent reporter, Chris Hayes, had the decency to admit this after advancing the claim initially.

With regard to the broader assessment: how many times are we going to do this?...

But it keeps the gullible pointed in the right directions, and distracts from the “intelligence community’s” own misdeeds.

The Grammy Awards Show Is Dying. Here’s Why

The Grammy Awards Show Is Dying. Here’s Why

"The numbers are shocking. 

The 2021 Grammy Awards suffered an epic 53 percent drop in ratings over last year’s broadcast, plunging from 18 million to just 8.8 million viewers.

...But just as a rising tide lifts all boats, a sinking tide lowers them, and the Grammy Awards has become just another degenerating institution within our larger degenerating civilization. 

It now amounts to an orgy of laughably misguided self-congratulation; cliché-ridden social justice pontifications from multimillionaires living in Beverly Hills mansions; packaged rage; racist guilt-tripping; and pathological female autodegradation.

The most recent example of that last thing, of course, was the pornographic exhibitionism of Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion...Read all

Today’s blacklisted Americans: California Democrats to blacklist all conservative or religious policemen

A document Democrats clearly don’t like.

"They’re coming for you next: California Democrats have introduced a bill in the state legislature that would essentially ban the hiring of any policemen who had religious or political beliefs that oppose the agenda of the leftist sexual rights community.

The bill, known as the California Law Enforcement Accountability Reform Act (CLEAR Act), claims to combat “the infiltration of extremists in our law enforcement agencies” and would mandate a background check for all officers who have “exchanged racist and homophobic messages.”

Kalra claims that AB 655 is necessary to prevent “the apparent cooperation, participation, and support of some law enforcement” in the Jan. 6 Capitol breach.

The bill defines hate speech as “as advocating or supporting the denial of constitutional rights of, the genocide of, or violence towards, any group of persons based upon race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, or disability.”

As several conservative and religious individuals note in the article, the bill’s vague language basically makes it illegal for cops to harbor conservative or religious beliefs, and will give the government the right to fire anyone who disagrees with the homosexual lobby or opposes abortion...Read all.

Donald Trump Unloads on Joe Biden's Border Crisis - Louder With Crowder

Donald Trump Unloads on Joe Biden's Border Crisis - Louder With Crowder: 

There is a crisis on the border regardless of what the White House wants to call it. The memo is out: Blame Donald Trump. Nancy Pelosi is blaming Donald Trump. The Biden administration is blaming the Trump administration for "dismantling the system." Half the country points out that when conservatives warned about "amnesty," this is exactly what they were talking about. The other half of the country counters with Trumpity Trumpy Trump. The only person we haven't heard from yet has been the former president. Until now. Trump called in to Fox News. Biden's handling of illegal immigration? Trump's not a fan.

"Using FBI data, I computed black and white perpetrators of hate crimes as a percentage of men 18 to 44 years old in their populations

• Eighteen months ago, liberals attempted to link the spike in anti-Semitic hate crimes to white supremacist actions. New York City mayor Bill de Blasio and the ADL highlighted the activities of white supremacist groups in upstate New York, despite all of the assaults being in the New York City metropolitan area, overwhelmingly perpetrated by black men...
  
• ...The same dynamics seems to be unfolding with the current spike in anti-Asian hate crimes... Members of the Asian, Latino and LGBTQ communities may have much more to fear from young alienated black men whose pent up anger spills over into destructive, violent behaviors.

Using 2019 FBI statistics — the most recently available data — I computed black and white perpetrators of hate crimes as a percentage of men 18 to 44 years old in their populations. The black rate was 40 percent, 76 percent and 303 percent higher than the white rate for hate crimes against the Asian/Pacific Island, Latino and LGBTQ communities respectively. 

Even more troubling, black rates for hate-crime assaults were 94 percent higher while for property destruction and vandalism, they were 14 percent lower than white rates...Read all.

Humor of Mohammed - Political Islam

"We find out from the Hadith that the suffering of the Kafirs made Mohammed laugh.
However, no one had better laugh at Mohammed. Humor and jokes poke fun at our foibles and flaws. But Mohammed is the ideal man and has no flaws. According to Islamic doctrine, he is the perfect pattern to follow. In 1400 years, there has never been a Mohammed joke. The Mohammed cartoons have caused rioting and murder. Something as simple as naming a teddy bear, Mohammed, caused riots and imprisonment. "To have a sense of humor about the world and yourself shows an inner strength and a balanced personality. It takes mature person to laugh at their mistakes and foibles. We learn about Islam and Mohammed through his sense of humor.
