– She must really cook well by now!
– No, they’ve only reached the part about the Twentieth Communist Party Congress so far…
Maybe it’s not so much funny as telling; but what it is telling of is the hijacking of a non-political activity — cookery, but it may as well be biology or history or maths — for a political end.

Lunch video-----Conspiracy Theories
"Democrats and high tech spent all four years of Trump's presidency spreading baseless conspiracy theories about the 2016 election.
They impeached the President over their conspiracy theories.
But anyone who questions the transparently manipulated 2020 election gets labeled a "conspiracy theorist" and is silenced."

Newspaper Editorial Board Calls on Governor to Deploy Natl. Guard Against Unvaxxed Citizens - Conservative Brief
"The editorial board of a prominent Utah newspaper has called on the state’s governor to deploy National Guard forces to prevent unvaccinated citizens from leaving their homes or otherwise participating in society.
In a piece headlined, “Utah leaders have surrendered to COVID pandemic, the Editorial Board writes” the board cites the state’s elected officials for refusing to mandate that all citizens get a COVID-19 vaccine, adding that if Utah were a “civilized place,” GOP Gov. Spencer Cox would implement a mandate and order the National Guard to enforce it by preventing the unvaccinated from going “anywhere.”

Michigan’s Dana Nessel Speculates ‘White Supremacy’ to Blame for Texas Synagogue Terrorist Attack
"As the hostage situation at a Texas synagogue developed on Saturday, Michigan's attorney general, Democrat Dana Nessel, raised the possibility that white supremacists were behind the attack.
Appearing on MSNBC on Saturday afternoon, about an hour after it had been reported that the attacker was demanding the release of imprisoned terrorist Aafia Siddiqui, Nessel said her "biggest concern" was that the attack was a "hate crime" or "domestic terrorism," pointing to "white supremacy organizations."
..."If it does turn out that is the motivating factor here, it would hardly be a surprise," Nessel said.
More than an hour before Nessel's appearance, ABC News reporter Aaron Katersky reported...Muslim terrorists associated with ISIS and al Qaeda have been working to free Siddiqui for years...
Nessel made no mention of the chance that the attack on the Texas synagogue was carried out by a Muslim terrorist, speculating only that it was "domestic terrorism."
The attacker was a British foreign national, identified on Sunday as Malik Faisal Akram ...Read all!

This is not a parody. This is actually a Self magazine cover. Welcome to Woke America!

- Mark M: This is not a parody. This is actually a Self magazine cover. Welcome to Woke America! It's all part of a campaign to tell us that fat is fit, math is racist, criminals are victims, and the homeless are homeless because of a lack of affordable housing.
- Michael W: Up is down, black is white, in is out -- standard leftist bullshit.
- Danny W: yep… when you don’t own the facts, seek ownership of the language. Another shining example of things not meaning what they actually mean. If you don’t like something , don’t use any effort to change it. Just redefine it.
- Michael W: First, posit a counter-factual -- "fat is healthy" -- and then argue it as if it were true.
- Dennis W: It's a typical attempt by leftists to demonstrate their moral superiority and gentle nature (both of which are delusions).

"...Europe (and the UK in particular) is undergoing an energy crisis – industries are shutting down due to the high cost of power/natural gas, and citizens’ utility bills are going through the roof.
...Yet the organizers of COP26 barred from participation any hydrocarbon companies (though some snuck in to see what would unfold), as noted in Euronews: “COP26 has made it a policy to exclude polluters from the summit.”
So…providers of fuel are polluters, and not welcome.
