The autocratic state advances. ‘Government secretly orders Google to track anyone searching certain names, addresses, and phone numbers’. The Deep State on the march under a very supportive administration.
‘Domestic Terrorists’ is the DoJ’s new designation for parents and citizens attending local school board meetings to protest teaching Critical Race Theory, gender-bending, and revisionist history to young students. The FBI, acting more like the STASI every day, will be investigating and arresting Americans who still believe that the state does not own their children.
‘The Woke Left’s Primitive Economics’ are described by Paul Rubin in the 6oct21 WSJ. When examined, it becomes clear that liberal thought in its acute embodiment ‘wokeness’ requires the adherent to first become butt stupid in most things about how the realworld works. These pages have chronicled this phenomenon for over a decade.
[updates] Ivermectin manufacturer Merck dunned that drug for C19 therapeutics and is now promoting a new therapeutic that it is pre-marketing and will soon introduce (more here). By its own admission it will be about half as effective as IVM (which costs about $3 a course). But you can bet the farm that the new pill will be many times more profitable. (H/T to reader)
Braindead journalists on Fox News and Republican politicians in Congress have yet to ask germane questions of the Democrat elites who are siccing the FBI on American parents on the pretense that they are ‘domestic terrorists’, parents who openly and legitimately protest the local schools’ curricula during public school board meetings. The critical unasked question is ‘Show ONE example of evidence of “intimidation”, “public threat”, “violent action”, “threat of violent action” toward elected school boards on which you base your case for federal law enforcement intervention against the publicly protesting parents whose children are being subjected to unmitigated socialist propaganda during class periods in which they should be learning the basic skills ultimately required of an educated and informed electorate?’ The Dems’ attempt to answer that question should expose them as the pariahs that they are.
[7oct21 update] Women in clodhoppers and combat boots. In these days of topsy-turvy sexes and genders, women’s fashions have adopted a distinctly counter-culture currency. And nowhere more violently than in their new footwear rage – gone are Melania’s elegant pumps, and in are shoes and boots with multi-inch platforms and styles with trench warfare uppers and soles with treads more commonly found on military Humvees. My great-aunt Tante Alvi, a recognized fashion expert during the pre-war era in Europe, enunciated the de rigueur of women’s footwear – ‘Ladies do not appear in public sans heels’ (with the usual exceptions of course). My sainted mother and my beloved sweetie-pie were/are strict adherents. And fortunately, especially for us men, that dictum held until the current societal disintegration began.
Terry McLaughlin's column on the Hyde Amendment in the 7oct21 Union (here) will be an eye-opener for most readers concerned about the federal funding of abortions. Attempting to end run its inclusion this year is yet another about-faces which the Dems are doing as they reconfigure their party in its Great Leap Leftward as called for by their growing socialist faction. McLaughlin's succinct and clear description of the goings on is worth a read.
[9oct21 update] The leftwing Quinnipiac Poll respected by all leftwingers came out with a typical report of Bumblebrain’s numbers diving for the mud.
- Overall opinion of administration: Approve 38%, Disapprove 53%
- On ‘Immigration’: Approve 25%, Disapprove 67%
- On Foreign Policy: Approve 34%, Disapprove 58%
- On Economy: Approve 39%, Disapprove 55%
- Overall assessment on running the country: Incompetent 55%
Note that our drive-by liberal poll commenters remain totally silent on the nationally recognized and reported disaster of the Biden administration. I don’t follow polls per se, but I’m told these numbers are historic.
