fromIssues and Insights: "As we said when the lockdowns were still relatively new, “observant and cunning politicians have gone to school” and were thinking over the possibility they could “use the pretext of a climate emergency to control Americans and break the back of capitalism.”

fromAmericanGreatness:  Even on campuses where the student body is 99 percent vaccinated, college administrators are bending to COVID-19 hysteria.

fromTheFederalist:  The Washington Post came out with a poll recently showing 34 percent of Americans now believe that violence against the government can be justified under certain circumstances, a sharp increase from earlier polls that asked the same question. It should be 100 percent.

fromTownhall:  Not since the canonization of George Floyd and the alibis the media made for the violent riots and looting that followed has more ridiculous, over-hyped coverage been ramped up for today’s “first anniversary of the worst assault on American democracy that ever occurred.” 

fromGlennGreenwald/ZeroHedge:  The number of people killed by pro-Trump supporters at the Jan. 6 Capitol riot is equal to the number of pro-Trump supporters who brandished guns or knives inside the Capitol. That is the same number as the total of Americans who have been charged with inciting insurrection, sedition, treason or conspiracy to overthrow the government as a result of that riot one year ago. It is also the same number as Americans who ended up being criminally charged by the Mueller probe of conspiring with Russia over the 2016 election.

January 7, 2022                                             

fromJonathanTurley:  What's maddening is that Democratic groups and commentators are seeking to remove as many as 120 Republicans from the ballots in the name of democracy. It is like burning books in the name of literacy.

fromTownhall:  The hammer, with no clue of what it is doing, continues to mindlessly pound the nails. 

fromTheConservativeTreehouse:  Google, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter and Facebook have all removed the interview from their platforms and banned the content sharing. Obviously, the content of the interview has been deemed subversive to the interests of U.S. government officials and Big Tech.

fromTheUnherd:  When, after 9/11, the neocons agitated for regime change in the Middle East, they believed that history was on their side: so they conjured up the existential threat of weapons of mass destruction. More than a decade later, this tactic has found favour with a wholly different tribe: America’s liberal establishment.

fromArkansasOnline:  Do we ever pause to consider that we enjoy our modern standard of living and security because we were once a meritocracy that quit judging our workforce by tribal affinities and ancient prejudices?

fromTechly: RFK Jr .: Let me tell you three things you need to remember in these difficult times. 1.) When a government regains power, it does not allow it to run its course. 2.)

3.) No one followed their path out of tyranny.

fromSteveKirsch/Substack:  Worried about Omicron? Guess what? After 90 days, the vaccine they gave you is going to make you MORE likely to get infected from Omicron, not less. The longer you stay on the vaccine treadmill, the harder to get off in the future and the easier you’ll make it for the virus.

fromLosAngelesTimes:  Democrats are now permanently empowered to continue the savaging of the state unimpeded. Election integrity is gone with the wind.

fromReason:  State food laws shouldn't apply to producers and consumers across state lines.  Regulation Nation

fromJonathanTurley:  "The type of demagoguery denounced by Chief Justice Roberts is now going mainstream with our leaders, the media, and various advocacy groups. Yet, Democratic strategists are finding that selling court packing and attacking justices is not resonating outside of the same 30 percent of voters on the left."

fromReason:  What does it mean to grow up under constant parental surveillance?  Political Correctness and Other Nitwittery

fromOICanadian:  Julian Assange is buried by the English “Justice” in a maximum security prison. The buried thing is not a tricky appeal to a word that shakes us but a sober description of the cell in which – little by little, hour after hour – the founder of WikiLeaks is serving the death sentence that they have reserved.

fromQuillette: An article proving that men and women are biologically different is in itself a sign of our times.

January 3, 2022                                             

fromAlt-Market:  If the past year has confirmed anything it is that the mainstream media is thoroughly dishonest.

fromRutherfordInstitute:  “Tyranny does not flourish because perpetuators are helpless and ignorant of their actions. It flourishes because they actively identify with those who promote vicious acts as virtuous.”

fromLibertyPen/Rumble:  The extradition and prosecution of Julian Assange is about nothing more than the Deep State’s desire to chill investigative journalism in order to shroud misdeeds, miscalculations and corruption from public view. If they succeed in setting this precedent, press freedom will be doomed and only government-approved propaganda will be allowed to the people.

fromSovereignMan:  For the end of 2021, we collected the best—or worst— stories that we wrote about this year. Enjoy… perhaps with the alcohol of your choice to ease the pain.

January 2, 2022                                             

fromLibertyPen/Rumble:  The desire to extradite and prosecute Julian Assange is about nothing more than to chill investigative journalism on actual government activity in order to shroud it from public view. If their attempt is successful, it will set a precedent that will spell the end of press freedom.

fromFreeThoughtProject:  The Guardian was one of WikiLeaks’s partner organizations, being fed bombshell after bombshell, revelations that helped build its brand and its audience. Yet, far from standing up for free speech and an open society, it was in the lead in attacking WikiLeaks and its founder.

fromLibertarianInstitute:  "What science cannot ever determine, precisely because it is not a hard-science question, is that vaccination should be compulsory. This is a normative question about human dignity and bodily autonomy, an inherently philosophical one that bottoms out in our values."
