fromAmericanThinker: The largest single demographic group remaining unvaccinated is Blacks, raising all kinds of hell with plans to force the jab on everyone, given the Democrats' fealty to the doctrine of disparate impact, making anything that adversely impacts Backs more than other groups automatically racist.

From mid-January through the end of June 2021, however, that number rose to 48 percent. In other words, the study suggests that roughly half of all the hospitalized patients showing up on COVID-data dashboards in 2021 may have been admitted for another reason entirely, or had only a mild presentation of disease.

fromTheFederalist: Milley’s alleged behavior (making ‘secret’ calls to his counterpart in communist China) directly contradicts his role as an adviser to the president and undermines the uniform code of military justice.

fromBreitbart: Biden has successfully defeated the Trump agenda in the eyes of American voters. Our country is now nowhere near being great again. We are weakened and disgraced. Mission accomplished.

fromRT: Glenn Greenwald tears into liberals for praising George W. Bush's 9/11 speech on threat ‘at home.’ This is why they cannot give up on the racism claims, despite all contrary evidence.

fromWashingtonExaminer: For decades, the CDC has quietly expanded its activities from its original critical mission of infectious disease control. The agency now supports far-afield research projects in spousal abuse, juvenile delinquency, and other subjects far better explored by criminologists and sociologists.

fromBreitbart: Why allow California to have the highest aggregate basket of income, sales, property and capital gains taxes in the nation, the highest gas and power prices in the continental United States, poor schools, outdated infrastructure and the country's largest populations of homeless, welfare recipients and undocumented immigrants.

fromJonathanTurley: While cable networks have long catered to political audiences on the left or right, mainstream newspapers and networks now openly frame news to fit a political narrative.

fromBreitbart: Obama swapped four major terrorist planners for a dishonorable deserter. The most idiotic trade since the Sox sent Ruth to the Yankees. With the stooge's assistant now at the helm, what could go wrong?

Political Correctness and Other Nitwittery                                                        Regulation Nation

fromReason: Imagine living in a world where every one of your noncash financial transactions—a restaurant meal, a Venmo transfer to a friend, maybe some bitcoin bought on the dips—was automatically reported to a beefed-up, audit-hungry IRS. That dystopia will become a reality if President Joe Biden gets his way.

fromNakedCapitalism: Getting on a plane was no different from getting on a bus.

fromMises: When we look at the massive spending bills and the fact that over 23% of dollars have just recently been ushered into existence, it leaves many asking why has there not been proportionally drastic inflation?

fromAmericanThinker: In Israel, “One of the most vaccinated countries in the world has this week seen its highest number of coronavirus cases ever.” And these cases are not mild. In a country with over 80 percent of adults vaccinated, a majority of hospitalized patients are in serious condition with close to 15 percent on ventilators.

fromAmericanConsequences: In August, YouTube froze Sen. Rand Paul’s YouTube channel. That’s just wrong. 

fromCreators: The only promises Biden kept throughout his botched exit from Afghanistan have been to the Taliban. All "We The People" have gotten from our befuddled president is deception, distortion and spin. He repeatedly looked into television cameras and insisted no Americans will be left behind in Afghanistan. 

fromQuillette: We see increasingly muscular attempts by democratic governments to censor the internet; the use of banks and payment processors as censorship tools; a rising cultural tendency towards censorship of any ‘problematic’ content; the linkage of a largely baseless ‘sex trafficking’ narrative with sex work and pornography.
