Fact-Blockers
Fact-Blockers:
I’ve reported how Facebook censors me.
Now I’ve learned that it also censors environmentalist Michael Shellenberger, statistician Bjorn Lomborg, and former New York Times columnist John Tierney.
Facebook’s “fact-checkers” claim we spread “misinformation.”
In my new video, Tierney argues that the “people guilty of spreading misinformation are Facebook and its fact-checkers.”

Liberal Oakland mayor blames 'defund rhetoric' for surge in violent crime: 'Oakland needs more police!' - TheBlaze:
Mayor Libby Schaaf, a Democrat, said that the "Defund the Police" rhetoric was keeping people from joining the police force, resulting in less safe streets.
Oakland is experiencing a surge in violent crime as it marks its 127th murder this year. The budget of the police force is scheduled to be decreased by $18 million in 2022, but Schaaf is now asking for that to be delayed in light of the crime spree.

They were even invited by Prince Andrew, a friend of Maxwell’s, to the Queen’s beloved Sandringham estate (where the royal family traditionally spends Christmas) for a “straightforward shooting weekend” in December 2000...Read all!

Guest Commentary: The Politics of Weaponized Car Attacks | The Patriot Post
"As we learn more about the senseless SUV attack on the crowd attending a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin, some liberal media outlets are
energetically attempting to spin away from the suspect Darrell Brooks and his left-wing politics on social media.
...In their Thanksgiving edition, USA Today’s front page explored the politics of “vehicle ramming.”

...In their Thanksgiving edition, USA Today’s front page explored the politics of “vehicle ramming.”
But they shifted the scrutiny back to people who resent “Black Lives Matter” protests, especially the protesters that block roads and threaten drivers and passengers with violence.
Reporter Dennis Wagner wrote: “Weaponizing of vehicles is a practice sometimes used by terrorists abroad. But the wanton attacks have also surged in the United States. The increase began after the police murder of George Floyd prompted Black Lives Matter demonstrations, which in turn prompted angry or fearful motorists to run over protesters.”
This framing makes it sound like protesters are “peaceful” and not “angry” and pose no threat...Read all.

Atlantic Hurricane Season 2021
Atlantic Hurricane Season 2021 | NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT
http://rammb-data.cira.colostate.edu/tc_realtime/season.asp?storm_season=2021
"The Atlantic Hurricane season has now officially ended, with a count of seven hurricanes, spot on the 30-year average.
Of these four were major, slightly above the average of three.
Long term comparisons of Atlantic hurricanes are essentially meaningless, because many hurricanes were simply never spotted or measured prior to the satellite era."
A growing scam against America!-----The collusive lawsuit between the ACLU and the Biden administration for immigration reparations is an illegal and unethical sham | the Aspen beat
"...the Department of Justice was considering settling the case for about $450,000 per individual – a settlement amounting to over a million dollars in the case of a family of three and over two million for a family of five.
...The Constitution limits lawsuits in the federal judiciary to “cases and controversies.”
This means that the courts are empowered only to apply the law to decide actual disputes.
Courts do not serve to rubberstamp settlement agreements in make-believe cases brought by allied parties for the purpose of establishing new law.
Stated another way, courts do not serve as mini-legislatures to enact laws at the behest of parties who pretend to disagree but are actually in cahoots.
Cahoots describes exactly the arrangement between the ACLU and Biden’s DOJ.

The two sides pretend to disagree but actually are colluding to establish new law to dispense taxpayer money to illegal immigrants that they’ve decided deserve it...Read all.

Rex Murphy: The woke rot at the heart of Canada's largest school board | National Post
- Political correctness is toxic; wokeism is an insult to reason. Both seem to have found a home in the Toronto District School Board
- Sometimes a public backlash is exactly what’s needed to kick some common sense into our increasingly woke school boards.
..But it does raise a couple of questions.
- Such as: how could any functioning educational institution reach the conclusion that allowing an articulate, accomplished lawyer to speak to young students would send the wrong message?
- Or: why did some TDSB bureaucrat think she had the right to bar such a person from speaking in front of a book club?..Read all.
DOOCY Bombs Psaki About Joe Biden's New Mask Orders - Louder With Crowder
DOOCY Bombs Psaki About Joe Biden's New Mask Orders - Louder With Crowder:
You knew it was coming. The Omnicron Variant coming to devour the planet was going to cause more mask panic. South Park foretold this. Joe Biden mumbled today that you should wear a mask indoors at all times. Unless you're eating... or talking into a microphone. Yes, he specified talking into a microphone. Then walked away without wearing a mask. DOOCY addressed the matter to White House Spokessoulessginger Jen Psaki, pointing to another "Biden is confused about wearing masks" incident from over the weekend.
Here is that exchange, followed by my dramatic interpretation.

"Those who dare to oppose the leftist agenda of Joe Biden and the Democrats must be considered dangerous right-wing extremists who “cling to guns or religion,” to borrow the words of Barack Obama.

Not only has this become the political perspective of today’s Democrat Party, but it has become the widely unquestioned and accepted caricature of conservatives among the mainstream media.
...One of the more recent egregious examples of the Leftmedia producing Democrat propaganda comes via a Reuters “investigative journalism” piece entitled, “Campaign of Fear: Reuters unmasks Trump supporters who terrified U.S. election officials.”
