Columnist taken to woodshed for 'heartless' idea to mock people who die from COVID after not getting vaccine - TheBlaze: 

However, being vaccinated will not prevent you from transmitting the virus, thus harming "innocent people." After all, breakthrough cases happen every day, fully vaccinated people are still dying of COVID (although the majority have several co-morbidities), and the CDC even says that fully vaccinated people still transmit the virus.

• Traffic cameras in Chicago disproportionately ticket Black and Latino motorists. 

"Readers are invited to spot the word that’s doing the heavy lifting. It appears 1o times in the article quoted above, excluding variations.

The red-light and speed cameras are, we’re told, “distributed roughly evenly among the city’s black, Latino and white neighbourhoods.” Despite which, “the ticketing rate for households in majority-Black ZIP codes” is “more than three times that of households in majority-white areas.” And so, explanations are searched out, including the width of a given road, the effect of passing vacant lots, and the geographical distribution of grocery stores...

Is Stagflation Returning in 2022?: 

Government mandates, regulations, spending, and borrowing are largely to blame for this painful increase in the cost of living. These governmental actions suppressed the supply of goods and services while spurring demand. Social distancing, quarantines, and shutdowns diminished the ability to produce goods, provide services, travel, and deliver merchandise. School and child care closures made it impossible for many parents to work.

An October 5, 2021 email reviewed by Fox News reveals that the letter was actually requested by the Biden Administration’s Education Secretary Miguel Cardona.

GOP’s Old Guard Out Of Touch With Their Voters On Election Integrity

GOP’s Old Guard Out Of Touch With Their Voters On Election Integrity
"...The Washington Post this month reported that at least 69 percent of Republicans are seriously concerned about the 2020 election. 

Perhaps the worst thing a party could do if it cared about serious political power would be to signal that the issue means so little to them. 

This pathetic cowardice and incompetent weakness are exactly what Republican voters are sick to death of.
...All of this is clearly an effort to keep Republicans from stopping Democrats’ 2020-style assault on election security. 

It works precisely because too many Republicans are too scared to fight. 
...In general, Republican voters deserve a far better class of politician than what the old guard of their party has been forcing on them...Read all!

UC San Francisco director of ER COVID response: The real crisis facing California hospitals isn't Omicron cases, it's strict quarantine rules - TheBlaze: 

Such disruptive isolation policies have contributed to hospital staffing shortages, closed businesses, shut down public transportation, contributed to long lines at testing sites, and prevented some children from attending school in person, SFGATE reported. Meanwhile, Noble said her patients with COVID are not suffering from severe disease during the omicron surge.

BoJo’s Green Energy Britain: Cuddle Your Pets for Warmth

h/t Breitbart; Boris Johnson’s Green Britain has plumbed new depths of humiliating energy poverty, with the revelation that in 2020 Ovo Energy advised customers to exercise and cuddle pets if they couldn’t afford to heat their homes.

Energy firm blasted for telling customers to cuddle pets and do star jumps to keep warm

...Britain’s third-largest energy supplier has apologised to its customers after it was criticised for giving advice like “cuddling pets” or doing housework to avoid putting the heating on due to price hikes...

There is no doubt in my mind that energy bills in Britain are a genuine problem. Boris Johnson’s green energy policies have inflicted unconscionable suffering on ordinary Britons.

When I lived in Britain, some of my neighbours could not afford to heat their homes..

One day I stopped one of my neighbours as he was leaving his home. The pavements were covered with ice, and he was attempting to hobble out on his cane to walk a mile to the nearest shop for groceries for himself and his wife, because he could not afford a taxi. The pavements were covered in ice because the council had run out of grit...Read all!

Horowitz: Why did Scotland experience a spike in infant deaths? - TheBlaze: 

As you can see, we have seen 50 times the rate of reporting per month of miscarriages for this vaccine than the other vaccines put together. Thorp mentioned on my show that lest people think he opposes vaccines, he particularly recommends the flu and pertussis vaccines to his pregnant patients. You can see the rate of reporting for pregnancy loss among those shots is very low. Now look at the rate of fetal malformations that have been reported to VAERS for COVID vaccines as compared to others.

Well, how DO we know?

Why did scientists suppress the lab-leak theory? In private, they said it was plausible. In public, they called it a conspiracy theory.

"We were assured by leading scientists in China, the US and the UK that this really was a coincidence, even when the nine closest relatives of the new virus turned up in the freezer of the laboratory in question, at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Now we know what those leading scientists really thought...

Rand Paul Hits Anthony Fauci as Architect of Failed Response - Louder With Crowder: 

When I wrote this morning to get ready for the next Rand Paul vs Anthony Fauci smackdown, I didn't realize one was scheduled for today. I just assumed Sen. Paul might have questions about the Project Veritas video. Happy Tuesday to us all! (h/t Newsbusters) Anthony Fauci knew what was coming and came prepared... to not answer any questions and instead whine that he was being criticized. Not surprising. Fauci thinks he's beyond criticism and any doubting of him means you literally hate the science.
