[The lying season from Washington is now in full swing, perhaps more intense now than since the Great Depression. The Democrats’ demonstration of wholesale ineptitude and incompetence requires a steady stream of whoppers that I challenge anyone to compare in scope and national impact with what Trump has been accused of. And the feckless Republicans along with conservative media like FN allow progressive pundits and politicians to get away with lame stats like ‘more oil has been pumped under Biden than Trump.’ Even if true, any 3-digit rightwinger should immediately point out that such residual pumping capacity was made possible under Trump and his legacy encouragement of America’s energy independence. On his first day Biden started doing everything he could to cripple US fossil fuels production. gjr]

Still, once the Dems got the very unpopular mandates off the table filled with their new policies, come to find out the folks are still upset over 2 million foreign nationals flooding across the Southern border, skyrocketing crime rates, the cost of fertilizer for our food (agriculture farming) has gone from $250 to almost $900, crime and safety in general, and CRT has not gone anywhere.

A war right now is what Biden and Co needs more than anything. First, it’s a fantastic detraction. Second, folks (except Democrats) usually rally around the flag during war and ease off some criticism on foreign affairs….which is the only possible thing that could help Biden out of this horrible slump he put us in.
The leadership vacuum that Biden has put us in due directly to his own decisions has made the Allies try to fill the void and not trust America or her word after leaving our Allie’s butt naked with their asses flapping in the wind in Afghanistan.
On the home front, the American people also sense this leadership vacuum, which causes unease. The economy? Inflation? Can’t get parts? Kids killed my stray bullets? Dems pushing with all the for grooming children into their sexual perversions? No prob. A war will cover a multitude of sins.

The thing is that there’s never a leadership vacuum. If you lack a man without good instincts, good health, or a good mind, somebody else simply snatches hold of the wheel. I doubt you’d find a single prominent Democrat who is in favor of all of it, it’s just that there are single-issue mafias pushing their way into the tent. The fact that one of them is child-grooming mentally-ill people is unfortunate I think but the real crime is that normal people put up with it.
I was thinking about whether these mafias are driven by self-interest or some kind of malphilosophy, no doubt both but to what extent? It isn’t like the administration executive who buggers trussed-up men in dog suits shares the needs of a foreign policy apparatus that makes up the War Party. They all want to grab the mic of course.
And everyone thought it was bad when Tipper Gore wanted to put parental warning labels on record albums.

Well, that’s easy.
There’s an entire apparatus at the State Department, and to some extent the DoD, that plays Risk with the world. It’s fun and exciting to blow up places, at least the ones that can’t blow you up back.
Presidents either come from that world (The Bush family), become part of it via force or bribery (Obama), or are brought down by it (Trump). The result is usually the same, rather pointless blowing up of places.
The fact that the War Party has made common cause with race hustlers, various flavors of sexual hobbyists, and mass media/internet gives you a pretty unstoppable wave. Just reg’lar folks don’t have much to say in the Brave New World.

“The research involved 1,348 adults in Brazil who tested positive for COVID-19 and were all at risk of developing a severe case. Half of the patients were prescribed a course of ivermectin pills for three days and the other half received a placebo. Dr. Mills and team looked at whether patients on ivermectin were less likely to require hospitalization, whether they cleared the virus faster, whether their symptoms resolved sooner, whether they were in the hospital or on ventilators for less time, and whether there was a difference in death rates between the cohorts.
Findings showed ivermectin didn’t improve patient outcomes for any of these factors.”

“Zelensky is not wrong to call for a no fly zone. He’s trying to preserve his people. NATO is right to refuse. We can’t risk direct confrontation. But with the right weapons, we can square that circle. Give Ukraine the missiles it needs to deny Russia control of the skies.” —David French
“No-fly zones don’t work in a big-power, symmetrical standoff. In a cost-benefit analysis, they are not worth the risk of shooting down the planes of a nuclear power. They usually do little to stop planes outside of such zones shooting missiles into them. Sending long-range, high-altitude anti-aircraft batteries to Ukraine to deny Russian air superiority is a far better way of regaining air parity.” —Victor Davis Hanson
Re: Hunter Biden
“When the New York Post published information about the tawdry access-peddling business dealings of President Joe Biden’s son a month before the 2020 election, much of the major media refused to cover it. … Now on Thursday, the New York Times finally admits that the contents of the laptop were legitimate. … We can gripe about the past as much as we want, but the more important question is: Just what are the tech platforms and the major media colluding to lie about right now? What are our gatekeepers covering up today? If they used ‘disinformation’ as the excuse to hide a story that was ‘harmful’ to their politics in 2020, we should assume that their current cries to cut off ‘disinformation’ include efforts to protect the Left from other bad news items. You know they are lying to you about the bill in Florida to stop child grooming — to prevent misguided or creepy teachers from giving age-inappropriate sex education to young students. … You know they are lying to you about studies that purportedly show that forcing children to wear masks all day is important in fighting COVID-19. You know that they lie to you about election laws in places such as Texas and Georgia. But what else are they lying about that we won’t discover until much much later?” —Timothy P. Carney
“As recently as September 2021, the Times called the laptop ‘unsubstantiated’ in a news story. Why was it unsubstantiated? Because of willful ignorance and the Times’ curious lack of curiosity. Hunter’s business partner Tony Bobulinski came forward immediately after The Post’s reports and confirmed that the emails bearing his name were legitimate. The Bidens didn’t even deny it was true! They just deflected, with the media’s help, saying it was a dirty trick or not a story. … How did the Times ‘authenticate’ the laptop? It doesn’t say. Unlike The Post’s reporting, which detailed exactly how we got the files and where they came from, the Times does a hand wave to anonymous sources. No facts have changed since fall 2020. They knew the laptop was real from the start. They just didn’t want to say so.” —New York Post editorial board
“It’s fair to say that many media outlets did not exactly cover themselves in glory in the Hunter Biden laptop matter. But the real shame belongs to social media giants Twitter and Facebook, which actively suppressed the New York Post story. … Now, of course, it’s all one big Never Mind. Except no one can go back and undo the damage Twitter and Facebook did. And the power the two social media giants exercised only served to heighten their already-strong inclination for censorship and cancellation. In the end, the new New York Times story on Hunter Biden says a little about Hunter Biden and a lot about some deeply troubling trends in our media world.” —Byron York
“The Hunter Biden story should serve as a reminder that no matter how much you despise the corporate press, it’s not near enough.” —Jesse Kelly
For the Record
“[Biden is] asking teenagers to do his job for him. I mean, think about that for a second. This is the president of the United States. It’s bad enough that he’s going around begging dictators to give us oil because he won’t allow Americans to produce our own energy, but now he’s going to actual teenagers and begging them, on a Chinese-owned social media app, to do his job. I mean, I’ve never seen anything like this. You cannot make this stuff up. … Beijing has a backdoor into TikTok. All of the data that TikTok collects on you … the Beijing government, the Communist Chinese Party, can see it and use it. This isn’t an app that anybody ought to be promoting, let alone the president of the United States. So, it is incredibly irresponsible.” —Senator Josh Hawley

“We have to address the Putin … gas hike. … We’re doing everything we can to minimize the Putin price hike at home.” —House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
“President Biden has done a masterful job in managing this [Ukraine] situation.” —Nancy Pelosi

Non Compos Mentis Award
“I may be Irish, but I’m not stupid.” —Joe Biden
And Last…
“President Biden’s economic response to the [Ukraine] invasion, and military response to the invasion, in my judgment, has been a wimp fest. … Unless you’re still living with your parents, you understand that you can’t put Putin on his knees without cutting off his cash flow. And you can’t cut off his cash flow without cutting off his oil and gas. … The woker darlings and the Democratic Party will not allow President Biden to adopt an all-of-the-above energy policy, which includes oil and gas, and the president just doesn’t seem to have the courage to stand up to him.” —Senator John Kennedy
“The Biden administration doesn’t mind fossil fuel production, after all. They just don’t want to buy American. The administration will buy oil from the Supreme Leader of Iran. It’ll buy oil from Maduro. If North Korea had oil, it’d probably try to buy that too.” —Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell

Thought of the Day.
Given that there’s a full-court press to isolate Russia, and soon to follow, anyone who doesn’t isolate Russia…well, this is the Right Time to cut copyright violators off at the knees.
The US will continue fleshing out it’s own Great Firewall, the better to watch you with my dear, but in addition it’s the perfect opportunity to make Sonny Bono’s dream of perpetual IP come to pass.
(which made me think, can I get Gregory’s Horkheimer book on libgen? nope appears to be down. it exists elsewhere though).
My own caveman theory on criticalracetheory and suchlike is that it’s basically magic words, uttered by acolytes, with the intention of getting or keeping power. That sort of thing quickly becomes ritual, with the priests doing something behind closed doors in an unknown language. I’m not sure that there’s ever any such thing as new and improved systems of mass behavior, just excuses for getting all the gold and good lookin’ wimmen. It does keep political philosophers busy though.

Every action will create a reaction –
“Feminism has become so muddied, much like the term Democrat has become so muddied. It’s practically lost all meaning,” Amy E. Sousa, one of the leaders of the group and a self-described “radical feminist,” told Fox News
“I am a lifelong registered Democrat who ultimately feels politically homeless,” Sousa added. “With the whole Biden election, I began to feel more and more disenfranchised from Democrats as a party, and I began to feel more and more that they did not represent my beliefs or my views.”
She went on to say Biden’s executive order to prevent discrimination on the basis of gender identity was “a slap in the face” and “from that moment I really haven’t known how to categorize myself politically.”
Another member of Save Women’s Sports said, “I always voted as a liberal, from 18 to 39. I registered Republican in 2020 after two politicians told me they did not want my vote because of my stance on the rights for women and girls
“They wanted to put men in prisons and men on sports teams and in my daughter’s school, so that’s why I decided I cannot be a part of this party anymore — that doesn’t even recognize my sex class,” the woman continued.
Another woman said she believes many others will abandon the Democratic Party due to its positions on women’s issues.
“I know a lot of historically liberal people, especially parents, who have felt like they needed to walk away from the Democratic Party,” she said. “I don’t know who they’re going to be voting for in the next elections. I think that we’re going to have a lot of people walking away really.”

Why do we call them trans-women if they are women? One would think if they were real women, they would drop the word ‘trans’ and just go with women…..or penised women. They call real women bleeders, birthing people, and TERFS, while they call pretend women as women?
Beam me up, Scottie.

re: BillT@5:30PM
Hey, it’s a tough job to carry water for the DNC, but National Public Radio are just the folks for the job. I imagine they have a weekly meeting with the administration to work out the story lines for the week.
I will give you one big fear for the oil companies, large and long term capital investments weighed against short-term shock due to changes in administration. One party basically wants them to die and goes in and out of power.
I have a great solution though, you just watch.

Apropos of nothing, better living through chemistry.

Nothing new to us here, but good to remember….less we forget. COVID
WHY IS THE LEFT AFRAID OF EVERYTHING?
“But trying to eliminate Covid risk, and allowing the virus to distort daily life, has costs, too. . . The American focus on Covid’s dangers, by contrast, has caused disruption and isolation that feed educational losses, mental health troubles, drug overdoses, violent crime and vehicle crashes. These damages have fallen disproportionately on low-income, Black and Latino Americans, exacerbating inequality in ways that would seem to violate liberal values.”
