AMERICANO: Americano, the first Spanish-language conservative network on satellite radio, just launched. Democrats and corporate media immediately expressed concern about the station spreading “misinformation” among voters. But Ivan Garcia-Hidalgo, the founder of the new network, said that the Left is just afraid. “They’re scared. And they should be. Democrats took Hispanics for granted for too long, and no one thought to create a home for us in conservative media. There is an appetite for this.

CALIFORNICATION: Three San Diego pre-schools were raided simultaneously by regulators who isolated and interviewed children aged one to four about mask wearing. Parents are understandably furious, especially given that the owners of the three schools had always been open about their no-mask policy.

They figured the kids would not be allowed to wear masks while they were sleeping or eating, so would give each other COVID-19 no matter what. Add on that masks are bad for the development of such young children and they decided there would be no masks in their school.

After 19 months of having no-masks without an incident, the school was forced to mask to avoid being shut down. Thankfully the mask policy expires on March 11.

CANADA: Tamara Lich, one of the key organizers of the Freedom Convoy, has been granted bail by an Ontario court. When she was arrested on Feb. 22, a judge said she was too much of a risk to public safety to be allowed to roam the streets. Her lawyer filed a bail review and the new judge granted bail. He said the first judge had been too subjective.

ENERGY: Biden’s Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said we could avoid high gas prices if we would drive electric vehicles. Elitist Mayor Pete, whose income is in the high six and low seven figures, is just a titch out of touch with reality.

To start with, there’s the gigantic difference in the average cost of buying and maintaining the two types of vehicles. A recent article at motorists.org (linked below) found that, over the six year average time drivers keep a new vehicle, electric vehicles cost ~$71,770, while gas vehicles cost ~$58,664.

In general, the cost per mile is lower for electric cars. However, this savings has to be offset against the enormous handicap of $2,000/year that electric vehicles carry, plus the significant inconvenience that charging brings with it. For example, it takes minutes to fill up a tank of gas, while it takes hours to recharge a battery. In addition, gas stations are plentiful, while EV charging stations are not.

The U.S. News article breaks down how to calculate the cost of fueling an electric car. It’s not as simple as it is for a gas car.

FAUXTUS: [7:21] – Biden et al. are claiming it’s the oil and gas industry that is keeping us from producing enough oil for our needs. The video explains the lie behind this statement.

KINDNESS: And another kindness story … “About ten years ago, I was on a walk with the family and stopped by a neighbor’s yard sale. “What is about that?” I pointed to a boom box under the table. “Oh it’s broken they said. It’s yours, free.” I took it home, and found the bad transformer that I happened to have a replacement for. Fixed, no one in the house wanted it. A couple days later at dinner, I said “I am taking it back.” After dinner, I tucked it under my arm and walked to the grey house down the street. I rang the bell. I could hear a commotion inside. Nothing. So I knocked on the door, and it opened. Inside, kids were shouting and jumping around. “Sorry, the woman explained – It’s my son’s 8th birthday.” I held out the stereo. “You gave me this last weekend,” I said, “And I fixed it and want to return it to you.” Her eyes opened wide. “It was my son’s and he missed it terribly. Thank you!” Few fixes have carried the essence of that moment like that one.” – Bruce Baker

LEFT vs. RIGHT: They used to say, “There’s not a dime’s worth of difference between the two parties.” This is no longer true. Quinnipiac polled American voters to find out what we’d do if we were in Ukraine’s position. Stay and fight: Dems 40% vs. GOP 68%. Flee the country: Dems 52% vs. GOP 25%.

The NPR report is particularly egregious. Not only does the headline call it the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, but in the text of the article, it refers to “the so-called Parental Rights in Education” bill. Wait, wut? Parental Rights in Education” is literally the bill’s official title!

On Monday, Russia released a list of demands, promising that the war will be over if Ukraine meets the conditions. These include Ukraine ceasing all military actions, acknowledging Crimea as Russian territory, and recognizing two republics in the Donbas region as independent. Russia also demanded Ukraine change its constitution to ensure neutrality, forswearing any attempt to join NATO or the European Union.

Ten Years Since Trayvon Died

The awesome Jack Cashill posted the following on American Thinker. I’m reproducing it here, because I want all y’all to read it.

“Why the Washington Post Cannot ‘Correct’ Its Trayvon Tribute”

On February 26, the Washington Post commemorated the ten-year anniversary of Trayvon Martin’s death with a loving and outrageously dishonest video tribute to the fallen 17-year-old. Even more troubling, columnist Charles Blow enlisted former president Barack Obama in this mendacious rewrite of recent history. On Friday morning, March 4, I sent an email to “corrections.” I sent the same email to managing editor Sally Buzbee and several other relevant editors. What follows is what I wrote:

—————–

Before listing the problems, let me establish my credentials to comment. I attended George Zimmerman’s trial and wrote a book on the subject: If I Had a Son: Race, Guns, and the Railroading of George Zimmerman. I have since gotten to know George and his family well. In 2019, I edited Joel Gilbert’s brilliantly researched book (and film), The Trayvon Hoax. I have a Ph.D. in American studies from Purdue.

Now for the problems:

Charles Blow tells us, “The contemporary civil rights movement unfolded directly in response to the murder of Trayvon Martin.” George Zimmerman was rightfully acquitted of murder. To launch a civil rights movement on a lie is a bad way to start one.

Barack Obama expressed his outrage at “the idea that this teenager who was walking down the street could be considered so threatening that a private citizen could initiate a confrontation resulting in that teenager’s death.”

Well, Trayvon wasn’t walking down the street. He was lurking in the shadows on a rainy night in a housing development plagued with break-ins and home invasions by young black men, and Zimmerman did not initiate the confrontation.

In the Post video, we hear George Zimmerman’s edited call to the dispatcher. What follows is the actual exchange:

GZ: Hey, we’ve had some break-ins in my neighborhood and there’s a real suspicious guy, uh [near] Retreat View Circle. The best address I can give you is 111 Retreat View Circle. This guy looks like he’s up to no good or he’s on drugs or something. It’s raining and he’s just walking around, looking about.

SPD: Okay, and this guy, is he White, Black, or Hispanic?

GZ: He looks black.

Here is how the Post edited this exchange:

GZ: Hey, we’ve had some break-ins in my neighborhood and there’s a real suspicious guy. This guy looks like he’s up to no good or he’s on drugs or something. He looks black.

The Post edited the call to make GZ look like a racist profiler. This was the first of two deceptive edits. When the dispatcher asked Zimmerman which way Trayvon was running, Zimmerman left the car “to maintain a visual.” Upon hearing the wind in the phone, the dispatcher asked:

SPD: Are you following him?

GZ: Yeah.

SPD: Okay. We don’t need you to do that.

GZ: Okay.

The Post edited out Zimmerman’s “okay,” all the better to preserve the fiction that GZ was stalking Trayvon. In fact, GZ stopped following Trayvon and looked for an address where he could meet the police who were on their way.

Writes Blow, “Martin was just 17 years old, a boy, and he was where he was supposed to be. He was unarmed. He was carrying Skittles and a can of iced tea.”

No, Trayvon was not where he was supposed to be. He had been exiled to the townhome of his father’s new girlfriend in Sanford, Florida, after being suspended from school for the third time that school year and kicked out of his mother’s home. Having been caught with stolen jewelry and burglary tools, Trayvon avoided arrest under the same misguided policy that allowed Nikolas Cruz free to kill 17 of his Parkland high school classmates a few years later.

Zimmerman was right about Trayvon. He was high, and he was up to no good. He had gone to the 7-11 not on some innocent mission, but to buy some “blunts” and the makings — Skittles, watermelon cooler — of a drug concoction called “purple lean.”

This unarmed “boy” was an aspiring mixed martial artist nearly a half a foot taller than Zimmerman. Yet, in violation of all journalism standards, the Post only showed pictures of Trayvon as a little boy.

Trayvon had four minutes to run 100 yards to the townhome where he was staying. Instead, he circled back to the spot where Zimmerman was waiting for the police and sucker punched him. The only eyewitness, Jonathan Good, told the jury that he saw a “black man in a black hoodie on top of either a white guy… or an Hispanic guy in a red sweater on the ground yelling out help.” According to Good, the black man on top was “throwing down blows on the guy MMA style.” Trayvon pounded Zimmerman’s head for more than 40 seconds. A 911 call picked up Zimmerman’s screams. Losing consciousness, Zimmerman finally pulled out his pistol and shot Trayvon in the chest. The evidence for this scenario was irrefutable.

To compare Trayvon Martin to Emmett Till is disgraceful.

The case should never have come to trial. With the mob pressing hard, state authorities arrested Zimmerman only after attorney Benjamin Crump manufactured a “phone witness,” a grossly overweight and mentally challenged 19-year-old who claimed to be Trayvon’s “puppy love.” Gilbert found the real 16-year-old girlfriend. I would recommend Blow watch The Trayvon Hoax.

Zimmerman did not face not an “all-white” jury as the Post video claimed. One of the six jurors was an Afro-Puerto Rican. They acquitted Zimmerman because they heard and saw the evidence.

Although the Post chose not to share this info, Zimmerman was a Hispanic civil rights activist, the active mentor of two Black teens, and an Obama supporter.

I have never seen a more consequential story so grossly misreported. The Post has an opportunity here to tell the truth about what happened. That will take some courage. The easy way out is to let democracy die in darkness.

Happy to help or, if need be, shout out about this defamatory nonsense from the rooftops. I am not going to let this level of media malpractice pass.

I would prefer option A. Thanks for hearing me out.

——————-

Four days after sending this email, I have not heard a word in reply, not even a “Thank you. We are looking into your concerns.” Blow and his colleagues were right about one thing. The Trayvon Martin case did launch a new phase in the civil rights movement. They even got Obama to lend his imprimatur, the former president calling the furor over Trayvon’s acquittal, “a galvanizing force in helping to create a broader based movement now known as Black Lives Matter.”

For the Post editors to “correct” this story would be to undermine their own credibility, the legitimacy of Black Lives Matter, and Barack Obama’s place in history. I almost pity them. In their world, they have no choice but to dishonor their profession and let democracy die in darkness.

POLAND: About 1 million Ukrainians have crossed into Poland to escape the war and the response of ordinary Polish people has been astounding. A recent survey found that more than 90% of Poles support admitting them, with 65% saying they are willing to help them personally. And help they are – hosting Ukrainians in their apartments, driving them to places, or simply giving them money to cover basic needs. Restaurants and stores around the country give Ukrainians discounts, while many services are provided for free.

STRATEGIC PETROLEUM RESERVE (SPR): In 1975, after oil supplies were interrupted during the 1973-1974 oil embargo, the United States began stockpiling the stuff to mitigate future supply disruptions. It’s total capacity is 714 million barrels.

In 2011, Obama withdrew 30 million barrels to offset disruptions caused by Arab Spring. (I think that means he did it to reduce the prices at the pump.)

In 2020, when oil prices were at rock bottom, Trump replaced what Obama took out for a politically beneficial and non-emergency use, something he said Obama never got around to doing.

In 2021, Biden withdrew 50 million barrels to reduce prices at the pump. He just announced he’s going to release another 30 million barrels … for the same political, non-emergency purpose.

In addition, since 2017, Congress has been selling the oil in the reserve to fund the deficit. The DOE has had seven, unpublicized sales amounting to more than 60 million barrels. According to legislation already in place, the amount of oil in the reserve could fall to as little as 410 million barrels by 2028.

The U.S. government has already purchased 50 million doses of the Pfizer vaccine intended for children under five years of age to be delivered by April 30, 2022. This, despite the FACTS that one, the FDA has yet to grant even an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for this age group, two, the risk of serious injury or death from COVID to healthy children is practically nil, and three, the pediatric dose has very limited effectiveness.

Last fall, Stefan Oelrich, a member of the Board of Management of Bayer and head of the Pharmaceuticals Division, gave a speech at the World Health Summit focused on biotechnological innovation. He said, “If we had surveyed two years ago in the public—‘would you be willing to take gene or cell therapy and inject it into your body?’—we probably would have had a 95 percent refusal rate,” he added.

Democrats Suck

CHICAGO: After Mayor Lightfoot ordered a statue of Christopher Columbus be removed from Arrigo Park, the Joint Civic Committee of Italian Americans sought to get it returned. When the park district made a deal with the group to allow the statue to be displayed at the Columbus Day parade, Lightfoot canceled it.

The night after the parade, Lightfoot met on a video conference call with two park district attorneys – George Smyrniotis and Timothy King. According to a recently filed lawsuit, Lightfoot berated both of the attorneys and made derogatory remarks about Ron Onesti, president of the Joint Civic Committee of Italian Americans.

The lawsuit quotes Lightfoot saying, “You d–ks, what the f–k were you thinking?” She then went on to accuse King and Smyrniotis of making “some kind of secret agreement with Italians, what you are doing, you are out there measuring your d–ks with the Italians seeing whose got the biggest d–k … I am trying to keep Chicago Police officers from being shot and you are trying to get them shot. My d–k is bigger than yours and the Italians, I have the biggest d–k in Chicago.

Smyrniotis claims in the lawsuit that Lightfoot went on to defame him, making “rude, insulting, false, and disrespectful statements” that he “lacked an ability to perform his job duties,” asking, among other things: “Where did you go to law school? Did you even go to law school? Do you even have a law license?” He says that, as a result of her comments, he was forced to resign and “suffered lost income, a reduced pension, and … great emotional distress.”

When they were talking about stripping me of access to healthcare and worse? Where were the admonitions then? Wear a mask forever for all I care, but you are no victims.” Also, “You masked toddlers. You are the bully.”

ORWELLIAN: In big, big letters, Politifact labeled “Mostly False” a statement made by Fox’s Maria Bartiromo. Down in the article, it “explains” in less than clear terms that, in fact, what Bartiromo said was true of crude oil imports, while total oil imports from Russia apparently only increased by 28%. Under Trump, we were an energy exporter, but shut up.

SPOKESWEASEL: When asked why FAUXTUS didn’t mention our 13 servicemembers who were killed during the evacuation of Afghanistan, Jen Psaki said he didn’t “have the time.” Not surprising, given that he didn’t have the time to give them the respect and attention their sacrifices deserved while their bodies were being unloaded at Dover.

VFAUXTUS: Kamala got sent out to do damage control after FAUXTUS’ wretched SOTU performance. On “CBS Mornings”, Gayle King asked, “The new CBS poll found 70 percent of Americans disapprove of the Administration’s handling of inflation. What do you say to those people who say that gas prices are just too high, I can’t get peanut butter, everything costs more? What are you going to do?

CLICK https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/1499017011376148488 [:42] to hear her answer, if you can stand listening to her gobbledygook. Basically, she says that the reason we have inflation is that the cost of living has gone up.

On NBC, she was asked if Biden will sanction Russia’s oil and gas industry. I’ll spare you the link to her word salad response, which was, “As it relates to what we need to do domestically as well as what we need to do in terms of this issue generally, we have, as the president said, reevaluated what we’re doing.

WISCONSIN: CLICK https://twitter.com/realLizUSA/status/1498779382625673227 [:48] to hear the special counsel who investigated the November 2020 election in Wisconsin announce that the nearly $9 million in “election grants” that Facebook’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg forked over violated a Wisconsin election bribery law.

He went on to say that the purpose of his report (linked below) is not to challenge certification of the Presidential election, though in Appendix II we do sketch how that might be done. Any decisions in that vein must be made by the elected representatives of the people, that is, the Wisconsin Legislature. Yet it is clear that Wisconsin election officials’ unlawful conduct in the 2020 Presidential election casts grave doubt on Wisconsin’s 2020 Presidential election certification.”

You can click one of the articles or read the report to see details of the disgusting way Democrat cheaters abused the elderly in nursing homes where 95% to 100% of residents cast ballots in the presidential election.

INDIANA: The owner and founder of The Satanic Temple Indiana is a 4th grade teacher at Haverhill Elementary School on the southwestern outskirts of Fort Wayne. The Satanic Temple Indiana works with Northern Indiana Atheists to promote abortion, Satanism, sexual perversion, and Antifa.

Together these groups provide “deathscorts” at a South Bend abortuary, set up a Satanic Christmas display at the County City Building in South Bend, harassed and assaulted pro-lifers, and hosted a fundraiser called “Menstruatin’ with Satan!” They have received donations from prominent members of the Democrat Party.

KINDNESS: From Mama Buzz – “I love random acts of kindness. We were in line at the post office (Buzz likes the one here because he can watch cars driving from the lobby) Anyway, he was showing interest in the automated machine someone was using. This man invited him to push all the buttons he needed and then also put his package in the drop box and he engaged with him in such a personable way too. Seriously, I love that most of the time strangers are so kind to him! Once in awhile I run into total jerks, but they are the exceptions.

LENTEN MEDITATION: “Fasting cleanses the soul, raises the mind, subjects one’s flesh to the spirit, renders the heart contrite and humble, scatters the clouds of concupiscence, quenches the fire of lust, and kindles the true light of chastity. Enter again into yourself.St. Augustine of Hippo
