Biden's "amerika" at WAR with Americans!-----How the Biden administration has quietly helped to ‘score’ conservative speech
How the Biden administration has quietly helped to ‘score’ conservative speech - BY JONATHAN TURLEY
"Last year, the Biden administration caved to public outcry and disbanded its infamous Disinformation Governance Board under its “Disinformation Nanny,” Nina Jankowicz.
- Yet, as explored in a recent hearing (in which I testified), the Biden administration never told the public about a far larger censorship effort involving an estimated 80 FBI agents secretly targeting citizens and groups for disinformation.
It turns out that all ten of the “riskiest” sites identified by the Global Disinformation Index are popular with conservatives, libertarians and independents.
The index, run by a British organization, appears to be an effort to score and sanction sites based on their “reliability” to those in the political and media establishments.
That sounds like a knockoff of China’s “social credit” system which scores its citizens, based in part on social media monitoring...

GOP: Is billions spent on Ukraine war aid landing in corrupt pockets?

President’s Day: A Woke Homogenized Celebration Of Nothing
President’s Day: A Woke Homogenized Celebration Of Nothing - by Jeff Dunetz
"Monday, February 20, 2023, is President’s Day.
"Monday, February 20, 2023, is President’s Day.
Originally it was a celebration of George Washington’s birthday.
Eventually, it was moved to the third Monday in February.
The move was forced by a bill passed by Congress in 1968 called the “Uniform Monday Holiday Act.” the bill’s purpose was to create three-day weekends.
...While officially a celebration of Washington’s birthday, after the bill took effect in 1971, it morphed into President’s Day, tearing down an American hero and replacing it with a meaningless woke day off work (for some).
It became a trivial holiday.
...Instead...substitute a day of civics.
...Instead...substitute a day of civics.
- A day of understanding the rights and obligations of every citizen and understanding how the Declaration Of Independence and the Constitution were part of creating those rights and obligations.
Part of that day could explain how a President’s job has changed since George Washington.

Horowitz: West Virginia lawmaker introduces most important constitutional amendment to prevent COVID fascism from ever happening again - TheBlaze:
Legally, if governments can force you take an action against your body, there’s quite literally nothing government cannot do to you. Scientifically, there is nothing in nature that works so amazingly that A can force it upon B, but it only works if B wears it or injects it along with A. “Your mask protects me, but my mask doesn’t; your shot protects me, but mine doesn’t,” is as silly as it is immoral and inhumane. If you believe something works, there is no need to ever force it on someone else. You can avail yourself of that amazing public health measure.
Jimmy Carter Was a Better President than You Think.
Instapundit - RESETTING THE BAR:
Jimmy Carter Was a Better President than You Think.
To fight stagflation, Carter appointed tight-money advocate Paul Volker to head the Federal Reserve Board, and Volker pulled the brakes on inflationary monetary policy — hard. It solved inflation but sent the economy into a painful correction that probably cost Carter reelection.At the Atlantic, Derek Thompson chronicles the dramatic and almost unnoticed impact of Carter’s airline deregulation over the last thirty years. The bottom line: per-mile ticket prices fell by over fifty percent...
- And despite his personal big government sympathies, Carter’s most lasting legacy is as the Great Deregulator. Carter deregulated oil, trucking, railroads, airlines, and beer. (H/t Caleb Brown.)
...The impact of beer deregulation has been similarly overlooked: In 1978, the USA had just 44 domestic breweries. After deregulation, creativity and innovation flourished in the above-ground economy...
As P.J. O’Rourke wrote in his classic 1993 American Spectator article, “100 Reasons Why Jimmy Carter Was a Better President than Bill Clinton:”
...100. And let us not forget that Jimmy Carter gave us one thing Bill Clinton can never possibly give us—Ronald Reagan...--Posted by

- There may be no more important fight in the next decade than the reassertion of basic honesty and lawfulness.
Political and economic freedom depend on the presence of a level of honesty that makes it possible for people to interact with one another with a sense of trust.
Consider recent corrupt, criminal events and their implication for the future of American culture.
- An estimated $20 billion was stolen from California’s unemployment compensation program...
- ...$191 billion in COVID-19 relief funding has been stolen. The inspector general cited one case in which a person had used identity theft in 29 different states to steal $500,000...
- ...Shoplifting, flash robberies, and rampant crime have dramatically increased since so many jurisdictions have dramatically raised the dollar threshold of felony theft (in some places, stealing something worth $950 is a misdemeanor)...
- Add to this the rises in carjacking, burglary, and mugging. The rise in crime inherently means more criminals and more acceptance of living on someone else’s money.
- In this context, the Hunter Biden–Biden family pattern of influence peddling is just one more example of a country sliding into the acceptance of criminality as the norm....

Florida 1,700% increase in vaccine adverse event reports - TheBlaze:
"To claim these vaccines are 'safe and effective' while minimizing and disregarding the adverse events is unconscionable," he wrote. "As a father, physician, and Surgeon General for the State of Florida, I request that your agencies promote transparency in health care professionals to accurately communicate the risks these vaccines pose. I request that you work to protect the rights and liberties that we are endowed with, not restrict, and diminish them."
