She bad!-----David Harsanyi: GOP Right to Deny Ilhan Omar a Committee Seat | The Patriot Post
David Harsanyi: GOP Right to Deny Ilhan Omar a Committee Seat | The Patriot Post
- ....She should have lost it for downplaying 9/11 and equating the United States with theocratic terrorist organizations like Hamas and the Taliban.
- She is neither ideologically nor morally prepared for the job.
- She was denied a seat because Nancy Pelosi created a new precedent by not only denying Kevin McCarthy his choices for the Jan. 6 committee, effectively creating a show trial, but
- also stripping Paul Gosar and Marjorie Taylor Greene of their committee appointments over ugly things they said. Republicans should unseat Omar using her standards.
- When Democrats introduced a resolution to strip Lauren Boebert of all House committee assignments over a stupid bigoted joke about Omar, ...Omar then told CNN’s Jake Tapper that “we should punish and sanction Boebert by stripping her of her committees, by rebuking her language, by doing everything that we can to send a clear and decisive message to the American public that, if the Republicans are not going to be adults and condone — condemn this, that we are going to do that.”...
Lunch video-----The De-Population Bomb
"In 1970, Stanford professor Paul Ehrlich published a famous book, The Population Bomb, in which he described a disasterous future for humanity:
“The battle to feed all of humanity is over.
- In the 1970s and 1980s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now.”
That prediction turned out to be very wrong, and in this interview American Enterprise Institute scholar Nicholas Eberstadt tells how we are in fact heading toward the opposite problem: not enough people.
For decades now, many countries have been unable to sustain a #population replacement birth rate, including in Western Europe, South Korea, Japan, and, most ominously, China.
- The societal and social impacts of this phenomenon are vast.
We discuss those with Eberstadt as well as some strategies to avoid them.

Biggest Gift to Iran's Mullahs, China and Russia: Biden Administration's Weak Leadership :: Gatestone Institute by Majid
- [T]he Biden administration has not been taking any action to deter, disincentivize or punish those who breach the sanctions. Ever since the Biden administration assumed office, in fact, Iran's oil exports have been on the rise... of which more than 800,000 barrels a day are being exported to China.
- Thanks to the Biden administration's abject posture towards China; its dithering over help to Ukraine; its ruining the US economy by shutting down America's energy independence then rushing to buy oil from Saudi Arabia and Venezuela rather than Canada; the unconscionable abandonment of Afghanistan and our allies there; the Biden family's appearance of influence-peddling, and, by closing down the China Initiative, the administration's failure to stop Communist China's runaway espionage, Russia, Iran and China are simply not taking the US seriously.
- So long as the Biden administration does not demonstrate real leadership, Iran, Russia and China will continue to seize all opportunities to become more empowered and emboldened. The Biden administration's legacy so far appears to be leaving the world a far more dangerous place...

Possibly an EMP delivery balloon?-----HOW DO WE KNOW IT’S A SPY BALLOON?
Instapundit--HOW DO WE KNOW IT’S A SPY BALLOON?
Pentagon Says It Detected a Chinese Spy Balloon Hovering Over Montana.
The United States has detected what it says is a Chinese surveillance balloon that has been hovering over the northwestern United States, the Pentagon said on Thursday, a discovery that comes days before Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken’s visit to Beijing.
President Biden has chosen, for now, not to shoot down the balloon after a recommendation from Pentagon officials that doing so would risk debris hitting people on the ground, according to a senior defense official who was not authorized to speak publicly.
Well, that’s absurd. A balloon won’t produce much debris, and there aren’t many people on the ground in that part of the United States. Unless the balloon contained something more dangerous than cameras.--Posted by

Democrat-Massachusetts bill would allow prisoners to 'donate' their organs in exchange for freedom - American Thinker
Massachusetts bill would allow prisoners to 'donate' their organs in exchange for freedom - American Thinker - By Olivia Murray
"There is a certain demographic that appears to be on an organized mission to show the rest of us just how immoral and backward its philosophies really are.
- Most notably, these ideologues salivate over unfettered abortion, even to the point when the act becomes definable as "infanticide," and they continue to push the envelope regarding "transgender" sex-change mutilations of children, even prepubescent ones.
Think they can't possibly commoditize human life more? Think again — the metaphorical "hold my beer" seems appropriate. From an article published yesterday at Boston.com:
Newly proposed legislation would allow incarcerated people in Massachusetts to trade one precious commodity, donated organs, for another: Time.

Democrats seek to prolong the COVID-19 health emergency - TheBlaze:
Democrats are apparently unwilling to turn the page on the pandemic this week and move beyond a framework of perpetual emergency, particularly if that might mean significantly less power for the Biden administration — power to achieve political ends tangential to American health and safety.
