    In the interest of a proper start for Festivus Celebrations nationwide, I’ll go with a quote from a story one Mr. Tozer brought in.
    “A group of 15-to-20-year-old suspects targeted a Home Depot store in Lakewood around 8:30 p.m., making off with crowbars, mallets and sledgehammers, according to Fox 11 Los Angeles. The group, which arrived in as many as ten vehicles and ran into the store wearing ski masks, reportedly emptied out an entire section of hammers before taking off, KCBS-TV reported.”
    The sheer genius of the thing made me laugh. Everyone gets to help eat the bread in Little Red Hen society and a hammer (but no sickle) makes a great deal of sense as a Blue Mob symbol. It used to represent the working class, but now it simply represents brute application of force. Think of the hammer as an upraised fist with mechanical advantage.

    “The Biden-Harris administration issued a report Friday to increase the price of oil leasing fees on federal lands in the United States by 50 percent—even while accusing oil companies of artificially increasing prices through illegal and anticompetitive actions.
    Despite record-high gasoline prices impacting American families across the country with winter around the corner, the Biden-Harris administration is recommending Congress hike the cost of oil leases on government lands from 12.50 percent to 18.75 percent.”

    The momentum is looooookinnnng gooooood –
    Already, Mr. Biden’s approval ratings have taken a sharp fall among some of his core constituencies, showing double-digit declines among Black, Latino, female and young voters. Those drops have led to increased tension between the White House and progressives at a time of heightened political anxiety, after Democrats were caught off-guard by the intensity of the backlash against them in elections earlier this month. Mr. Biden’s plummeting national approval ratings have also raised concerns about whether he would — or should — run for re-election in 2024.

    re: BT@10:12PM/10:32PM
    In both cases, I think there are hidden benefits here. Team Red spent too many years thinking that the national secret police were their friends and that public schools were a good thing. It’s good to see both myths exploded.
    The problem/opportunity is that sane people need to step up to the plate. I can’t see the point at yelling at the school board, it’s like telling the local комиссáр to put down his political Powerpoint slides and take up a useful trade. In the 19th C., people with a bit of dosh in the bank thought nothing of building schools, Masonic lodges, local parks as a community service. If you don’t want your kids or grandkids to get reading assignments from ‘Mommy Has A Penis’ and other learned tomes, you need your own school as the other kind is a lost cause.
    At a more advanced level, (I think) a lot could be accomplished by moving professional gatekeepers from universities to certificates ala bar exams (although I fully expect bar exams to get a DEI essay section at some point). It would work for many (not all) forms of study. The funny thing is that a tutor would be cheaper than Ivy League classes per hour.
    Same goes for news/entertainment.
    Where the rubber hits the road is the likely government response. Official censorship, official classwork, official news. Once that happens, either it’s game over for freedom or things get more kinetic.

    President Joe Biden saw his lowest job approval numbers. Biden’s job approval found a new low of 36.4 percent during the first nine months of his presidency, according to a Zogby poll. While the poll also found that 61.3 percent of the respondents gave Biden a negative rating, the president was underwater with all age categories, particularly the younger generation of voters between 18 and 29, which viewed him 63 percent negatively and only 34 percent positively.

    Quotes….
    Insight: “Virtue is harder to be got than a knowledge of the world; and, if lost in a young man, is seldom recovered.” —John Locke (1632-1704)
    “There’s so many athletes, so many actors … so many singers and rappers out there. They’re scared. They’re scared to say a word because they care too much about their money. They care too much about their endorsement deals. They care too much about what the teams that they play for are going to say. But, you know, they should know one thing: It should be morals and principles over money. It shouldn’t be the opposite way. … [China is] a brutal dictatorship and they engage in censorship, they threaten the freedoms, and they don’t respect human rights, and they hide the truth.” —NBAer Enes Kanter
    “For real, all lives matter, not just black children. We don’t want to see nobody go through this. … It’s all our problem. So hey, let’s keep fighting. Let’s keep doing it and making this place a better place for all human beings — all human beings. Everybody. Love everybody. All human beings need to be treated equally.” —Ahmaud Arbery’s father, Marcus
    Friendly fire: “I continue to call on President Biden to responsibly increase energy production here at home and to reverse course to allow the Keystone XL pipeline to be built which would have provided our country with up to 900,000 barrels of oil per day from Canada, one of our closest allies. To be clear, this is about American energy independence and the fact that hard-working Americans should not depend on foreign actors, like OPEC+, for our energy security and instead focus on the real challenges facing our country’s future.” —Senator Joe Manchin
    Swamp Doctor: “Anybody who spins lies, and threatens, and all that theater that goes on with some of their investigations and the congressional committees and the Rand Pauls and all that other nonsense, that’s noise. … They’re really criticizing science because I represent science. That’s dangerous.” —Anthony Fauci (“The absolute hubris of someone claiming THEY represent science. It’s astounding and alarming that a public health bureaucrat would even think to claim such a thing, especially one who has worked so hard to ignore the science of natural immunity.” —Senator Rand Paul | “Fauci is an unelected technocrat who has distorted science and facts in order to exercise authoritarian control over millions of Americans. He lives in a liberal world where his smug ‘I REPRESENT science’ attitude is praised.” —Senator Ted Cruz)
    Grand delusions: “You can’t beat the fact that [Biden is] working for America. Just sayin’.” —”The View’s” Whoopi Goldberg
    Dezinformatsiya I: “Here’s what we know so far on the sequence of events that led to the Waukesha tragedy caused by a SUV.” —The Washington Post
    Dezinformatsiya II: “Waukesha will hold a moment of silence today, marking one week since a car drove through a city Christmas parade, killing six people and injuring scores of others.” —CNN
    Propaganda: “What is Thanksgiving to Indigenous people? ‘A day of mourning.’” —USA Today
    Race bait I: “Instead of bringing stuffing and biscuits, those settlers brought genocide and violence. That genocide and violence is still on the menu.” —Native American author Gyasi Ross
    Race bait II: “When the Pilgrims arrived on the Mayflower in 1620, they didn’t bring thanks. They didn’t even give thanks. Instead, they brought racist genocide and gave nothing.” —attorney and radio host Michael Coard
    Race bait III: “By allowing him to go free and potentially commit other crimes, this jury sent the final and loudest warning to white America about the dangerous rise of white nationalist terror in this country, one I suspect will be ignored by most thought leaders, politicians, and the press. Kyle Rittenhouse was able to kill Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber and face no consequences because those men were race traitors.” —MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” guest host Jason Johnson
    Race bait IV: “The first thing that occurred to me after this ruling is, ‘Oh, well, OK, now it’s just open season.’ Like, if I’m walking around and I’m a white nationalist coward little kid with an AR-15, and I see someone drive by with a ‘Black Lives Matter’ bumper sticker and I feel threatened, I can open fire. If I go by a youth group standing outside a local Target and they’re chanting, ‘Black Lives Matter,’ and I feel threatened, I can open fire.” —Jason Johnson
    Race bait V: “Rittenhouse will be the poster child for reactionary white men who want to take the law in their own hands, who want to bring assault weapons to Black Lives Matter protests, and who think that violence is a legitimate form of political discourse.” —MSNBC legal analyst Paul Butler
    Non compos mentis: “This strikes me as an odd situation for self-defense. It’s something akin to saying that if you go in a bank and rob it, and people are trying to apprehend you, you can shoot your way out and claim self-defense. That’s a little bit what Kyle Rittenhouse did. He created this problem, and then proceeded to threaten people to get out.” —MSNBC legal analyst Joyce Vance
    And last… “Remember last year when Republicans wanted to buy 77M barrels into the strategic reserve at dirt cheap prices? Remember when the Democrat Congress refused? Taxpayer profit from selling this oil today would be ~$3B. Because of Democrats, we don’t get that profit. And guess what, prices won’t be affected either. This is what happens when pragmatism is swept aside and emotional outbursts become your governing philosophy.” —Congressman Dan Crenshaw

    “Ever since Alan Sokal hoaxed Social Text more than 20 years ago, and Peter Boghossian and his two compatriots punked several postmodern journals with total gibberish just a couple years back, you’d think academic journal editors and reviewers would be on guard against similar hoaxes. But apparently not Higher Education Quarterly (a Wiley publication) which is just out with a howler entitled “Donor money and the academy: Perceptions of undue donor pressure in political science, economics, and philosophy.”
    The study purports to demonstrate that “right wing” money is having a significant effect in pushing colleges to the right.“

    BT 9:25 – ” Are you another slow moving Bronco?”
    A Bronco just wouldn’t have the gravitas.
    Mine is the same make but it even has the Escape beat for folks needin’ a beat-down.
    I swear my white monster has been nudging the garage door and muttering about looking for a Kwanzaa parade seeking to avenge the holy Q!

    Notice that the initials of the authors, Sage Owens and Kal Avers-Lynde III, spell ‘SOKAL’.

    The chi coms might be right on this one –
    China’s Global Times, a state-controlled publication, asserted this week that Hollywood will destroy itself as it continues to embrace “political correctness” with an increasingly lunatic fervor.
    The state-run media outlet cited the recent decision to exclude author J.K. Rowling from the Harry Potter movie anniversary celebration due to her comments on transgender individuals, as well as the Academy Awards’ new diversity quotas, which require ethnic minority representation for best picture consideration.
    “If Hollywood continues down this road, it will dig its own grave and destroy its reputation one day,” the Global Times predicted.

    Creepy grampa joe gets another reminder his pen has limits –
    “If the executive branch is allowed to usurp the power of the legislative branch to make laws, two of the three powers conferred by our Constitution would be in the same hands,” he wrote. “If human nature and history teach anything, it is that civil liberties face grave risks when governments proclaim indefinite states of emergency.
    “During a pandemic such as this one, it is even more important to safeguard the separation of powers set forth in our Constitution to avoid erosion of our liberties,” he added.

    re Don B 3:24 – “China’s Global Times, a state-controlled publication…”
    Just for giggles, I looked up the China Times on Wiki.
    Oh, my!
    “The publication has been labelled as “China’s Fox News” by some scholars and writers for its propagandistic slant…”
    Scholars??!!
    Scholars, as in – they at least attended a school for a few years at some point before the drugs and hatred set in.
    The idea that Fox is a govt run outlet is hilariously idiotic.
    I guess it’s because they alleged that an actual person with a name deliberately ran down folks in a parade shows that on-going propagandistic slant!
    Oh yeah – I had to scroll down past Wiki’s begging for money to continue their bull shit.
    Not likely Skippy – better hit up Soros.

    Lefty policies have set us back big time in less than one year.
    My daughter has come home for a while from AZ,, says there are stickers of Biden pointing his finger at the price of gas saying ” I did that!”
    Now where to get some of those, and put them on the local gas pumps.
