San Francisco police officers denied service at restaurant because their weapons go against eatery's 'safe space' ideology - TheBlaze:
A San Francisco restaurant is facing backlash after its staff denied service to three police officers. The owners of the restaurant said the eatery didn't feel comfortable allowing the police officers to eat there because the presence of their weapons goes against the establishment's "safe space" ideology. However, the owners of the restaurants are walking back the original decision to boot the cops.
Pearl Harbor: A Day That Lives in Infamy---Victor Davis Hanson
"On December 7, 1941, the Japanese Imperial Navy bombed the US Naval base at Pearl Harbor.
The surprise attack shocked the nation and brought it into a world war.
To this day, it remains seared in America’s historical memory.
Renowned historian Victor Davis Hanson explains why.
The death of Europe - spiked
The death of Europe - spiked"Europe is on a precipice.
- Mandatory vaccination spells the violent end of European liberalism.
It has marched, blindly, towards something very much resembling tyranny.
- Austria will shortly criminalise those who refuse the Covid vaccine.
- Germany looks set to follow.
- Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, is wondering out loud if every member state should do likewise and make offenders of those who reject this form of medication.
- In Italy you are deprived of your livelihood rather than your liberty if you say no to vaccination: the unvaxxed are not permitted to work. Anywhere.
- In Greece, everyone over the age of 60 must pay the government 100 euros for every month they remain unvaxxed...Read all.
Buchanan: Putin Tells Biden to Finlandize Ukraine, or We Will
Buchanan: Putin Tells Biden to Finlandize Ukraine, or We Will
"Either the U.S. and NATO provide us with “legal guarantees” that Ukraine will never join NATO or become a base for weapons that can threaten Russia—or we will go in and guarantee it ourselves.
This is the message Russian President Vladimir Putin is sending, backed by the 100,000 troops Russia has amassed on Ukraine’s borders.
At the Kremlin last week, Putin drew his red line:
“The threat on our western borders is … rising, as we have said multiple times. … In our dialogue with the United States and its allies, we will insist on developing concrete agreements prohibiting any further eastward expansion of NATO and the placement there of weapons systems in the immediate vicinity of Russian territory.”...Read all.
Republicans' 2017 tax cuts benefited middle-income and working-class Americans the most, the exact opposite of what Democrats claimed: Analysis - TheBlaze
Republicans' 2017 tax cuts benefited middle-income and working-class Americans the most, the exact opposite of what Democrats claimed: Analysis - TheBlaze:
Democrats declared that the Republican Party's 2017 tax reform law benefitted the wealthy the most, and even proclaimed that the tax cuts increased taxes on middle-class Americans. However, new analysis shows the exact opposite of what Democrats claimed.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 — the largest overhaul of the U.S. tax system since the 1980s — was passed by Republican lawmakers and signed into law by then-President Donald Trump on Dec. 22, 2017. The Democrats railed against the tax cuts, claiming they only enriched the wealthiest Americans and mega-corporations.

- “Threatening the Supreme Court has become something of a required public exhibition of faith for Democrats”
United States Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) seemed to threaten violence during a recent interview on the Dobbs v. Jackson abortion case being heard by the U.S. Supreme Court.
For months, we’ve heard Democrats smear Trump supporters and other Republicans as domestic terrorists.
For months, we’ve heard Democrats smear Trump supporters and other Republicans as domestic terrorists.
Does threatening the Supreme Court with “revolution” qualify as an example?
Ronn Blitzer reports at FOX News:
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., issued a warning to the Supreme Court days before oral arguments in a potential landmark abortion case, claiming that a “revolution” will take place if the high court overturns existing precedent.
...“I hope the Supreme Court is listening to the people of the United States because – to go back to Adam Sexton’s question – I think if you want to see a revolution go ahead, outlaw Roe v. Wade and see what the response is of the public, particularly young people,” Shaheen said toward the end of the event...Read all.
Red states dominate index of fiscal, regulatory, and personal freedoms, while blue states are the least free - TheBlaze
Red states dominate index of fiscal, regulatory, and personal freedoms, while blue states are the least free - TheBlaze:
The Cato Institute released its sixth-annual "Freedom in the 50 States" report this week. The index provides an "updated ranking of the American states on the basis of how their policies promote freedom in the fiscal, regulatory, and personal realms." The index of freedoms in all 50 states shows that red states dominate the list in the states with the most freedoms, while the blue states with Democratic governors were often at the bottom of the list.
The authors of the study define "freedom" as:

Instapundit--THEY CAN’T WIN A WAR, BUT THEY LIVE HIGH ON THE HOG
“These aircraft cost many thousands of dollars an hour to operate and cost many tens of millions of dollars to acquire. Some cry foul when Pentagon leadership whines about lack of funds for critical combat capabilities yet continue to use these aircraft constantly.”
I wouldn’t mind if they could win a war. Or even manage a freaking retreat.

Remembering Pearl Harbor---If you want peace, prepare for war.
Michael Smith
"Remember Pearl Harbor.
Si vis pacem, para bellum is a Latin adage translated as,
“If you wish for peace, prepare for war”.
If the mortgage bust, the ensuing financial crisis and the global recession has taught us anything, it should have taught us that this phrase has applicability across the spectrum.
- If you wish for financial security, prepare for financial crisis.
- If you wish for career stability, work as if your job could disappear tomorrow.
- If you want a good job, prepare for jobs that society values.
- If you want freedom, prepare for oppression.
- If you want to determine your own future, prepare to resist servitude.
On this day, some 80 years ago, the Japanese navy ignited the war in the Pacific.
...The problem with being civilized is that civilized people come to believe every other nation is just like them.

Schools Say They Teach CRT. Education Reporters Continue to Deny It. - Minding The Campus
"Schools are teaching critical race theory, even as liberal education reporters deny it is taught anywhere, and falsely claim it is not taught in in even a single school system.
Detroit’s school superintendent, Nikolai Vitti, says critical race theory is deeply embedded in his school system: “Our curriculum is deeply using critical race theory, especially in social studies, but you’ll find it in English language arts and the other disciplines. We were very intentional about … embedding critical race theory within our curriculum.”
