The left's 'coup' is the overthrow of truth
The left's 'coup' is the overthrow of truth:
These inflammatory accusations aren't just being leveled at conservative candidates in political campaigns. They are being used against ordinary Americans to justify deprivation of First Amendment rights, illegal surveillance, unconstitutional searches and seizures of property, even arrests and incarceration without due process protections. This, unlike Gellman's manic jeremiads, isn't speculation; it's fact. Ask Jews in New York City who were prevented from worshiping, even in their own homes, during COVID lockdowns last year. Ask the New York Post, whose truthful reporting on the contents of Hunter Biden's laptop was shut down by leftist-run social media companies Facebook and Twitter......

"...It was the animating spirit of life itself: The dinner parties I attended on the Upper West Side
required dismissive comments on President Bush just as much as they did a bit of wine to make the evening bright, and there was no faster or surer way to signal to a new acquaintance that you were a kindred spirit than praising the latest Times editorial.
...I embraced my people, and my people embraced me.
"...It was the animating spirit of life itself: The dinner parties I attended on the Upper West Side
...I embraced my people, and my people embraced me.
They gave me everything I had always imagined I wanted: a Ph.D. from an Ivy League university; a professorship at NYU, complete with a roomy office overlooking Washington Square Park; book deals; columns in smart little publications; invitations to the sort of soirees where you could find yourself seated next to Salman Rushdie or Susan Sontag or any number of the men and women you grew up reading and admiring.
The list goes on. Life was good. I was grateful.

- You might be living through The Turn if you ever found yourself feeling like free speech should stay free even if it offended some group or individual but now can’t admit it at dinner with friends because you are afraid of being thought a bigot.
- You are living through The Turn if you have questions about public health policies—including the effects of lockdowns and school closures on the poor and most vulnerable in our society—but can’t ask them out loud because you know you’ll be labeled an anti-vaxxer.
- You are living through The Turn if you think that burning down towns and looting stores isn’t the best way to promote social justice, but feel you can’t say so because you know you’ll be called a white supremacist...Read all!!!

Elon Musk is Time's 'Person of the Year' - Louder With Crowder
Elon Musk is Time's 'Person of the Year' - Louder With Crowder:
Elon Musk was named 2021's Time Magazine Person of the Year. I'm not suddenly going to pretend that the POTY matters. However, you know the left is going to go bananas over this. They have a habit of freaking out whenever anyone who has a platform uses it to disagree with them. Musk is a billionaire who thinks he should be allowed to keep his money. Liberals hate that and, I'm sure, will make sure Musk trends all day.
Time just made the announcement an hour ago. This is only the early returns of angry Twitter fingers.

FDA Says It Now Needs 75 Years to Fully Release Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine Data:
The group says the data should be made public quickly because the FDA spent just 108 days reviewing it before granting emergency use authorization to the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.
The matter is more urgent because millions of Americans are being mandated to take the shot or face repercussions, such as a loss of access to businesses and employment termination.

Civilizational Suicide, Not Omicron, Is Killing Us
- Emergencies justify emergency powers, and emergency powers mean that you can push ahead with your agenda on all fronts.
Most people are rational.
- They know that the flimsy porous masks you see everywhere are useless tokens of conformity.
- They understand that the disease is serious for only a tiny part of the population.
- They also know staying home and practicing “social distancing” has its own liabilities, not least of which is a diminution in the potency of one’s immune response.
Unfortunately, the people making the rules are not “most people.”
They are bureaucrats being advised by public health “experts” like Anthony Fauci who has demonstrated ostentatious incompetence at least since the AIDS crisis of the 1980s.
...It’s not just the old Rahm Emanuel wheeze of never letting a crisis go to waste.
It’s also a matter of fabricating crises where none exist because emergencies justify emergency powers, and emergency powers mean that you can push ahead with your agenda on all fronts using the fake crisis as justification for bending or discarding the rules...Read all!!
