I was just telling Dearest yesterday that both sides claimed to have the majority behind them, but that I had yet to see an actual poll. Now I have. Sixty-four percent of the 1,523 Canadians surveyed on Feb. 9 and 10 said it’s time to drop all COVID restrictions.

E.g., it’s not martial law. It does give Trudeau the power to try and prevent private funds from going to truckers to help them survive the blockade. However, he has only seven days to get Parliament’s approval and he does not have the support of the Canadian people or even the most pro-Trudeau newspaper.

CANADA: [5:04] – Fox News reporting on the Freedom Convoy, Trudeau’s jackboot move, and the convoy that has started here.
Freedom Convoy organizers say they will continue to protest on Parliament Hill despite the federal government’s declaration of a state of emergency. “We are not afraid. In fact, every time the government decides to further suspend our civil liberties, our resolve strengthens and the importance of our mission becomes clearer. We will remain peaceful, but planted on Parliament Hill until the mandates are decisively ended. We recognize that there is a democratic process within which change occurs. We have never stepped outside of that process, nor do we intend to.”

Poor parents cannot afford to replace outgrown shoes year after year. But having a pair of shoes not only saves kids from soil-transmitted diseases and parasites, it also means they can attend school.
HILLARY THE SPY: [8:26] – “So there you have it. Russiagate, the collective delusion that Donald Trump was secretly a Russian agent aided and abetted by the Kremlin, the topic of uncountable inches of Washington Post and New York Times copy and the entire primetime lineup of MSNBC, was a dirty trick by the Hillary Clinton campaign. Not just part of it. All of it. One of the most diabolical, successful misinformation campaigns ever concocted.” – Beginning of Feb 13, 2022 NY Post editorial
KENTUCKY: Scratch a Leftist and you’ll find a violent thug marching under a banner of peace and tolerance – On Monday, after a gunman attempted to shoot (like, with a gun) Louisville’s Democrat mayoral candidate at his campaign headquarters, the Left immediately assumed the perp was a gun-loving, Trump-voting redneck. He’s actually a gun-control activist who, in 2019, wrote an opinion piece entitled “Kentucky’s concealed carry law shows your life doesn’t matter to gun-loving Republicans.”
Quintez Brown is also a BLM activist who says he is working for “the total liberation and unification of Africa under scientific socialism.” He has had enough prominence to have once been invited to appear on Joy Reid’s MSNBC show.
LEAVING LEVI: She walked away from the top spot and turned down $1 million in severance to keep her voice. “In my more than two decades at the company, I took my role as manager most seriously. I helped mentor and guide promising young employees who went on to become executives. In the end, no one stood with me. Not one person publicly said they agreed with me, or even that they didn’t agree with me, but supported my right to say what I believe anyway.”
ONTARIO: Premier Doug Ford has announced that ‘rona restrictions will begin easing … but that it has nothing to do with the truckers who he says could face “serious consequences” for “lawless activity” if they don’t disband.
SLIME: The Legacy Media ignored the bombshell news about Hillary Clinton’s campaign. The New York Slime has defended this editorial decision, saying the story was ignored because the issues are complex and would have required “readers to expend significant mental energy and time.” Translation: “We don’t want to bother our dumb, lazy readers with real news that might challenge their dearly held political prejudices.”
GRAMMY NOTES: The k on my keyboard started to stick and make kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk until I manually pulled it back up. So I found a YouTube about how to unstick a key, which amounts to pulling the key off and cleaning inside, around, and under, then putting it back on. As soon as I pulled the k key off, it was obvious that I needed to do the whole keyboard. Almost 2 hours and a LOT of cotton swabs later, my keyboard is clean and the keys are markedly bouncier and clickier. The only amazing thing overall is not that one key had started to stick, but that ONLY one key had started to stick! I think a mouse could easily build a nest with all the dust, hair, and food crumbs I cleaned out! LOL
CATHOLIC: Father Gabriele Amorth is the chief exorcist of Rome. Over the past 30 years, he has carried out approximately 70,000 exorcisms. Not surprisingly, ‘Jesus Christ’ is the name Fr. Amorth most often calls upon to expel demons. But he also turns to saintly men and women for their heavenly assistance. Interestingly, he said that in recent years one man – Pope John Paul II – has proved to be a particularly powerful intercessor.
“I have asked the demon more than once, ‘Why are you so scared of John Paul II and I have had two different responses, both interesting. One, ‘because he disrupted my plans.’ And, I think that he is referring to the fall of communism in Russia and Eastern Europe. The collapse of communism.”
“Another response that he gave me, ‘because he pulled so many young people from my hands.’ There are so many young people who, thanks to John Paul II, were converted. Perhaps some were already Christian but not practicing, but then with John Paul II they came back to the practice. ‘He pulled so many young people out of my hands.’”
And the most powerful intercessor of all?
“Of course, the Madonna is even more effective. Ah, when you invoke Mary!”
“And, once I also asked Satan, ‘but why are you more scared when I invoke Our Lady than when I invoke Jesus Christ?’ He answered me, ‘Because I am more humiliated to be defeated by a human creature than being defeated by him.”
Fr. Amorth has written six books which are all for sale at Amazon.

GARY GENSLER: Gensler is Biden’s current chair of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Under Obama, he was chair of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Under Clinton, he was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Financial Markets, then Under Secretary of the Treasury for Domestic Finance. Prior to his career in the federal government, Gensler worked at Goldman Sachs, where he was a partner and co-head of finance.
And when Hillary’s 2016 presidential campaign was trying to destroy Donald Trump, Gary Gensler served as her campaign’s CFO. IOW, he was the one disbursing the funds that paid for the dossier and all the other dirty tricks the Durham investigation is uncovering.

So much so, that he was constantly on defense, constantly explaining that there was no collusion, constantly explaining – that he had to explain why they were spying on him. All of this! Again, every American should be outraged by this! …. This is the biggest scandal we have ever seen. Now we know for sure, they tried to cheat in the 2016 election. They tried to cheat in the 2020 election behind the guise of Covid.”
SUPER BOWL: According to Los Angeles County’s mask mandate, everybody 2 years and older was required to wear a mask at the Super Bowl, except when they were eating or drinking. To encourage compliance, all spectators were issued a KN95 mask.
Said compliance was spotty at best and non-existent among the celebrity and political elites. Chief among those who were photographed maskless were “masks are for thee, but not for me” California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti.
Tweeters noted the hypocrisy. “The Super Bowl definitively proved that ongoing Covid mandates are not about science, but about control.”
“My students all have to wear masks all day tomorrow, inside and outside of their classrooms because we are in LA County. Same place as the Super Bowl. But not a mask in sight here.”
GRAMMY NOTES: Early in her first year in full time school, Mama Buzz forgot her lunch box, so the teacher bought her lunch in the cafeteria. Since it was loaded with foods that made her hyper, I got to “enjoy” her afternoon reacting to and evening detoxing from the exposure. I read the school the riot act: SHE CAN’T EAT ANYTHING SHE DOESN’T BRING FROM HOME.
When I thought one of my girls was ready for or needed it, I’d give her a new responsibility paired with a new privilege. Because they all had serious food allergies, my top priority was teaching them to be responsible about what they ate. So I gave her the responsibility of remembering her lunch pail and the privilege of keeping her reading lamp on longer than her sisters did at bed time.
Mini Mama was always testing my limits and she loved all of her most allergenic foods, so she “accidentally” forgot her lunch box again. The teacher called, requesting I bring it. I explained to her that I was sick in bed, my hubby was at work, and my kid needed to learn a serious lesson about her serious food allergies, so no. The teacher acted like I’d condemned my first grader to Auschwitz.
I told her, “Look. You can give her an apple, nothing more, and when she gets home IN THREE HOURS, she can eat her lunch.” And my kid never forgot her lunch again and I happen to think that me being a real stinker about her learning responsibility is at least part of why she is now such an AMAZING mom.
MARRIAGE: An article in the Wall Street Journal reports that “a majority of young adults believe that living together is a good way to pretest the quality of your partner and your partnership, thereby increasing the quality and stability of your marriage. But a growing body of research indicates that Americans who live together before marriage are less likely to be happily married and more likely to land in divorce court.
OTTAWA: Despite frigid temperatures and wind, thousands of protesters flooded Canada’s capital city over the weekend, joining the ongoing trucker-led protest.
TORONTO: Authorities have decided to prevent Freedom Convoy truckers from blocking traffic by closing stretches of the Gardiner Expressway and Don Valley Parkway. This here is government in action … blocking the roads to prevent people from blocking the roads.
GRAMMY NOTES: I grew up in a football family. My father and eldest brother were head coaches of the Sprint team at Cornell, but I never really caught the pigskin bug. One time when my parents were hosting an all adult family dinner, I announced I had watched an entire professional football game. Nobody believed me. So I told them what the cheerleaders had worn and about the quarterback who had played with a cast on his hand. They asked if I remembered which teams had played or who had won? Ummm … no.
1) The term “Pope Emeritus” has no precedent and is confusing, as are Pope Benedict XVI’s continuing to live at the Vatican, wear papal garb, and signing himself as “Pope Benedict PP.”
2) Pope Benedict XVI seems to have resigned only part of the papacy, the active ministerium, not the office or munus of the papacy.
3) Pope Benedict’s longtime personal secretary Archbishop Georg Gänswein has made statements that appear to affirm Benedict’s continued papal identity.
4) Pope Benedict’s correct form of address is still “Your Holiness.” Meanwhile, Francis has dropped the traditional title “Vicar of Christ” (or maybe the Holy Spirit won’t let him use it).
5) There are at least three errors in the official Latin “declaratio” read by Pope Benedict on February 11, 2013.
6) Universal peaceful acceptance by the Church of Francis has never really occurred.
7) The canonically illegal behavior of the St. Gallen Mafia cardinals in conspiring to vote in their man from Buenos Aires in 2013 invalidates the Conclave.
Re: Coffin’s reference to Francis using coprophilia and coprophagia in a 2016 interview. The reporter asked, “Regarding the media: a consideration regarding the means of communication…” which Francis apparently interrupted by talking about the ability of the communications media to do good or evil. He mentions calumny, defamation, slander, and disinformation, all of which are serious sins.
Then, he says, “I believe that the media should be very clear, very transparent, and not fall prey – without offence, please – to the sickness of coprophilia, which is always wanting to communicate scandal, to communicate ugly things, even though they may be true. And since people have a tendency towards the sickness of coprophagia, it can do great harm.”
I guess that a very literal translation of coprophilia would be “shit speak”, but the English definition is “the condition of desire for sexual gratification and sexual arousal derived from the smell, taste, or sight of feces or from the act of defecation.”
Similarly, coprophagia literally translates to “shit eating”, but its English definition is “the consumption of feces.” In certain species (e.g., dung beetles), this behavior is normal, but in humans it “is associated with mental illnesses and unconventional sexual acts.”
Maybe the problem here is in translation. Jorge Bergoglio’s native language is Spanish and he apparently is comfortable with Italian, which I believe is very similar to Spanish. I’ve heard him speak English, though haltingly, and the interview was with a Belgian news outlet, so who knows what language he was speaking or what he really meant. What we do know is that the Vatican website has these words which are laden with sexual perversion still posted in the English translation more than five years after the interview.
I had a friend who was happily married and trying for a baby. She went to have a suspected pregnancy confirmed, because it was cheaper than the OB. The minute it came back positive, they began the abortion hard sell. She said to them in slow, precise terms. “We WANT this baby.” They didn’t understand the concept. Because of the above, I decided to share the story below, which was published anonymously on Facebook.
I went into planned parenthood for a pregnancy confirmation. I was scared but that’s a little natural.
When my test came back positive, I had a whirlwind of emotions. However the “counselor” I spoke with after my test came back did not. She TOLD ME that “keeping this pregnancy would be a great mistake”, “it’s not that big of a deal” and “your best choice is to terminate the fetus”. Never asked what my thoughts or feelings were. With no knowledge about my financial situation, relationship or mental health. Just based off of the fact that I was young. I said “no thank you” and she replied with “do you really have a choice?”
I kindly stood up and replied with “thank you for your time” and left the office. While making my way back to my car through the hallway, I was getting laughed at or stared at by all personnel.
While asking the ladies at front desk to unlock the door so I could pay for my services and leave, she told me “you’re making a mistake!” With the most sour tone and nasty look on her face. Then proceeded to tell me I should go back and talk with the “counselor” I previously left about my options.
I politely declined and informed her that if she proceeded to lock me in the facility I was calling the police. Her eyes, growing as big as my disappointment. The door unlocked and I paid my balance and left.
Absolutely baffling.
Planned parenthood doesn’t care about your wants. They also are not pro choice. They are pro murder. They are pro arrogance. They are pro depression.
CANADA: The Canadian government closed their border as part of their COVID mitigation effort. So why is having truckers close their border now a “national security threat”?
GENDER: A French court has ruled that a a biological male “identifying” as a transgender woman has a legal right to be identified as the “mother” of his child.
HERO: A Maryland police officer, seeing that an approaching car was not going to stop, pushed a student out of the way and was herself hit by the car. She’s received a citation for her bravery. The driver has gotten a different kind of citation. Video of the incident is embedded at the link.
JACKBOOTS: Rep. Ashley Hinson’s (R-IA) Unmask Our Kids Act (HR 6619) would “prohibit the Secretary of Education from providing Federal funds to a local educational agency unless in-person instruction is available to all students and parents may opt out of student mask mandates.”
Even as Democrats across the country abandon forced masking as a political liability, 221 Pelosi Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives voted NO. There are currently 222 voting Democrats in the House. I was unable to find a roll call of the vote.
“As a mom, I know why parents across the country are standing up and speaking out when they are being told they can’t decide what is right for their kids and family. And it is infuriating to watch the same people who push for kids to wear masks all day long flout the rules for a photo-op or for a night on the town. Meanwhile, kids are sitting at home instead of going to school and interacting with their friends in a normal setting.” – Rep. Hinson
JOURNALISM: Tucker talks about the Canadian truckers. [17:14]
MANDATES ARE ILLEGAL: The people have a right and a duty to resist. [10:40] – “When you come for our children, you have declared war. … To hell with Fauci.”
NEVADA: On Thursday, Democrat Governor Sisolak joined the Democrat rush to end mandates. “Students and parents have been clamoring for this for a long time. Our businesses have been asking for this. I think this is the appropriate time,” he said in a video announcement. By “appropriate time,” he means “the natives are restless and the midterms are coming.”
NUKES: In the video, body language experts analyzes Sam Brinton’s story and shows where he was being deceptive and where he was being truthful. [15:20] – Why should we care if Brinton is a liar? Partly because, as an LGBTQ+ activist, he campaigns to make it impossible for people who have unwanted same-sex attraction to get therapy. He claims to be a “survivor of a traumatic and torturous conversion therapy experience,” which the body language experts say is a load of crap.
The reason it matters right now is that the Fauxtus administration has hired Brinton to the post of Deputy Assistant Secretary of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the Office of Nuclear Energy.
Sam Brinton is also a Catholic-bashing drag queen known as “Sister Ray Dee O’Active,” the self-described “slutty one” in the D.C.-based drag queen group “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.” He identifies as “genderqueer” with they/them pronouns and enjoys having sex with animals and playing the ‘gay uncle’ in BDSM play.
In addition, he has reportedly worked for the Trevor Project, helping to groom vulnerable minors.
OMICRON: Dr. Angelique Coetzee, the head of the South African Medical Association who discovered the variant, says, “I was asked to refrain from such statements and to say that it is a serious illness. I refused.” She describes the Omicron as “extremely mild”, referring to the WHO definition of mild as “patients can be treated at home and oxygen or hospitalization is not required.”
The progressively less dangerous, but more contagious variants of COVID-19 have followed the normal development of viruses.
PENNSYLVANIA: The “parents are terrorists” meme continues with parents being denied access to a school board meeting. One of the door monitors shoved and then threw a punch at one guy. Two videos of the incident are embedded at the link.
TEXAS: In August 2021, the last month before the state’s groundbreaking six-week abortion ban went into effect, 5,400 unborn babies were murdered in Texas abortuaries. In September, that number was 2,197.
Most of us vaguely remember the asbestos controversy from the late eighties and early nineties.
Right?
Right (maybe not).
Asbestos was widely (and I mean widely) used in a metric shit ton (technical term) of industries.
Most notably it was used in homes all across the US for many DECADES (boomer caps lock emphasis = very important) as a powerful insulator and fireproofing agent.
The cheesy commercials produced for class action lawsuits started to dominate the airwaves.
This is when you know a situation is really bad.
Anyway.
The history of the asbestos affair can illuminate for us all how 𝙘𝙡𝙪𝙢𝙨𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙡𝙤𝙬 𝙗𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙪𝙘𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙩𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚 when a very financially lucrative product is on the market, that also happens to cause a lot of people potentially life threatening issues.
Now the important part (notice emoji emphasis):
𝙄𝙣 𝟭𝟵𝟮𝟰 the very first study was published (British Medical Journal) documenting the harmful affects of asbestos in an asbestos factory worker.
Studies throughout 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝟭𝟵𝟯𝟬𝙨 and beyond continued to corroborate the link between asbestos and various types of lung conditions.
Here’s the real mindfuck (very technical term) and point of this post.
It was not until 𝙅𝙪𝙡𝙮 𝟭𝟮𝙩𝙝 𝟭𝟵𝟴𝟵 that the EPA issued a final ruling banning asbestos containing products!***
Many in government and industry knew for nearly 𝟲𝟬 𝙔𝙀𝘼𝙍𝙎 that this product in its various forms was potentially harmful – life threatening even – for those exposed.
Yet another example of the government either just plainly getting it wrong (salt, sun exposure, fat consumption) or turning a blind eye to satisfy industry lobbyists (big pharma, etc).
They don’t care about you.
They don’t have your back.
They have their financial backers backs.
It’s always been that way.
And it’s not changing anytime soon.
Proceed with extreme skepticism and caution when the government is telling you you need to do something for your health. Wink wink.
*** = Technically this ban was overturned in 1991, it gets a little technical, but you can read more about it at the link.
ARKANSAS: The owner of a Little Rock abortuary has been arrested and charged with two counts of assault in the First Degree. City Camera video footage from the July 13, 2021, incident shows her jumping the curb and aiming her car directly at two praying pro-life women on the sidewalk. One of the women said she often drives close to pro-lifers, yells and curses at them, and has threatened to run over them.
BEYOND MEAT: [12:41] – Feminist vegetarianism is apparently a real thing. The speaker has written a bunch of books about it, including The Pornography of Meat (2004). If you can’t sit through the more than 12 minutes of YouTube, CLICK https://twitter.com/TitaniaMcGrath/status/1491961277085884424 [1:38] for a quicker clip. Full disclosure: I didn’t even get through the short one.

BIDEN ECONOMY: Inflation has risen to its highest rate since 1982. Some say it’s actually higher, because of changes they made in the meantime to the way it’s calculated.
CAPITOL POLICE: U.S. Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger responded to a complaint by Rep. Troy Nehls (R-Texas) concerning the USCP illegally entering his office, taking photos, and later interrogating his staff. According to Manger, the only reason his “vigilant officers” entered Nehls’ office is because they found “the Congressman’s door was wide open.” CLICK https://twitter.com/RepTroyNehls/status/1491837010637570050 [:31] to see proof that Manger lied.
CONCERN: CLICK https://twitter.com/townhallcom/status/1492221226298839047 [1:00] if you can stand to listen to Jen Psaki. I can’t. According to Doug P at Twitchy, she said President Biden has urged Canadian PM Justin Trudeau to use “federal powers” to put an end to the trucker protest because it is having “significant direct impacts on citizens’ lives and livelihoods.“
She’s as gobsmackingly clueless as Michigan’s Governor Lockdown Gretchen who said the truckers “don’t have a right to illegally block the largest land-border crossing in North America. Hundreds of millions of dollars a day are being lost.” In case your memory is impaired or you’ve been sleeping under a rock for the past two years, Gov. Whitmer imposed the strictest, most insane ‘rona lockdown restrictions of any governor in the country.
GIVESENDGO: On Feb 10, an Ontario judge attempted to freeze access to the $8 million the Freedom Convoy truckers have raised on the Christian-based crowdfunding site GiveSendGo.
HEALTH CLASS: Eighth graders in the Enfield, CT, public school were told to explore their sexual preferences in a group activity centered on pizza toppings. When parents objected, the school said it was a stupid mistake behind which was no hidden agenda.
RACISM: On Jan 23, 2022, a black female student at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville reported finding her dormitory door covered with racist sticky notes, including a death threat. Students were outraged and demanded the perp be found and expelled. Police, housing, the campus EEOC office, Title IX officials, and even the Secret Service dove into the investigation and found the perp … who also happened to be the so-called victim. She’s been charged with three counts of disorderly conduct for reporting a fake hate crime.
TOLERANCE: During last week’s podcast “Politics War Room“, James Carville and Al Hunt expressed support for banning the unvaxxxed from interstate travel. But they went beyond simply supporting restricting us to expressing violent hatred for us.
“I wish what they’d do is pass a law to make you immune from liability if you punch some unvaccinated person right in the face, which I’d really like to do,” said Carville, the Democratic Party strategist who ran Bill Clinton’s presidential campaign. “If you ask me what’s my first reaction to you if you’re not vaccinated and you don’t have any medical reason not to be, you’re a piece of s**t, OK? I just want to punch you in the goddamned face. That’s the way I look at these people.”
AMBASSADOR BRIDGE: [1:54] – Truckers have shut down traffic between Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit, Michigan. [Reminder: I compose my Bits & Bytes the day before I post them, so with any rapidly developing story like this, I may be 24 hours behind the times.]
CANADA: [4:38] – Big Trudy isn’t doing so well. And word is that Ottawa cops are revolting against being forced to violate the truckers’ rights as well. A source inside the PD says one of the staff sergeants has resigned and an unusually high rates of uniformed officers are taking stress leave, vacation days, and sick days.
Meanwhile, rather than meet with the truckers, the Canadian government is spending tax dollars booking up hotel rooms in Ottawa so truckers can’t stay in them. CLICK https://twitter.com/cwt_news/status/1491832592504692736 [:15].
From Twitter: “Canadian Trucker on the radio explaining why truckers have been cleaning bathrooms and mopping floors of business that stay open for them: ‘we’re not here to punish Ottawa; we’re here to punish Parliament.’”
CHENEY: Cheney, who hasn’t been to any in-person state Republican event since 2020, blew off their biggest fund-raiser so she could schmooze with jerknalists. Claiming the leadership of her state’s party has “abandoned the Constitution,” she said, “I’m not going to convince the crazies and I reject the crazies.” The Republican National Committee (RNC) doesn’t like her either, having recently voted to censure her for her participation in the “Democrat-led persecution of ordinary citizens” that is the J6 committee.
CHICAGO CATHOLICS: Oy vey! The Archdiocese placed a Catholic school principal on administrative leave for telling students students he was ending the school’s mask mandate. More than 100 parents showed up at a rally to protest the move.
CRACK PIPES: Snopes rated as “Mostly False” a story reported “breathlessly” by “right leaning outlets” that the Biden administration planned to distribute crack pipes to addicts. After blowback from the revelation led to the Biden administration issuing a statement saying they were no longer going to distribute crack pipes to addicts, Snopes changed its rating to “Outdated.”
MASKS: Diapering the faces of small children who are at near-zero risk from COVID-19 is having real world consequences. The speech therapist in the graphic also noted the kids she’s seeing suffer from the “types of articulation errors … usually seen with children who have neurological impairments or syndromes with associated speech and language impairments. I’ve never had so many referrals in my life for young healthy children with such severe articulation impairments.”
MASSACHUSETTS: In response to a lawsuit filed by parents, Wellesley Public Schools has agreed to never hold another racially segregated event. The parents’ group leader said, “We have spent decades teaching our kids that racial segregation was and will always be wrong. We will not tolerate a return to segregation in 2022.”
OTTAWA: On Wednesday night, the cops who haven’t quit or called in sick confiscated firewood from the Freedom Convoy. They claim to be all over concerned about the safety and comfort of the truckers’ kids, while stealing their cooking and heating fuel.
ROGAN: On Monday, Trump said, “Joe Rogan is an interesting and popular guy, but he’s got to stop apologizing to the Fake News and Radical Left maniacs and lunatics. How many ways can you say you’re sorry? Joe, just go about what you do so well and don’t let them make you look weak and frightened. That’s not you and it never will be.”
TERRORISM: Biden’s Department of Homeland Security has issued a warning about a “heightened extremism threat … including an online environment filled with … false or misleading narratives, which sow discord or undermine public trust in U.S. government institutions.”
Apparently, they’re more worried about Joe Rogan talking about ivermectin than they are about jihadists calling for violence.

Malone’s point about money rings true; Pfizer reports tens of billions of dollars in COVID sales over the past year.
VIRGINIA: On Tuesday, somebody leaked emails showing a security official in Loudoun County, Virginia, coaching principals on how to obtain arrest warrants against students who try to enter schools maskless. Previously, Loudoun County Public Schools Superintendent Scott Ziegler had claimed there was no effort underway to pursue legal action against students. But Ziegler is the same person who flat out lied that there had been zero sexual assaults in any of the schools’ trans-friendly bathrooms.
On Tuesday evening, parents and dozens of suspended students attempted to serve affidavits to Loudoun County School Board members, demanding they stop all mask mandates. One parent said, “We’ve tried to talk to them, they will not listen.” The cowards also would not be served. The school board chair told the students to give the documents to the staff instead of to school board members and the Superintendent left altogether.
