I took a look at the fatuous "The Work Begins" propaganda piece published on YouTube by the Biden regime. The comments in general are hilarious and decidedly not in Biden's favor. However...We have a committed, dyed in the wool apologist for communist slaughter and atrocities in the person of one 'Ed Peck' who airily dismisses the jaw-dropping death toll performed by totalitarian collectivists over the last century or so. Here's a partial account of the response-reply thread:Replying to @Ed Peck I'm having trouble hearing you over the groans of the ghosts of the hundreds of millions slaughtered in the name...

<p>WUHAN—In an alarming turn of events, workers at a Wuhan research lab were seen adjusting a sign that read “92 Days Since Accidentally Releasing a Virus,” taking down the 92 and replacing it with a zero.</p> <p>“Everything is still great here,” said President Xi Jinping to selected members of the press. “Nothing alarming has happened here... and certainly not for a second time.” Xi was wearing a hazmat suit, but he claimed that was because it was laundry day and that was the only thing he had left that was clean. The American press felt no need to ask any follow-up questions.</p>

Weighing in on the rest of the field, Mustaine called Newt Gingrich an “angry little man” and said Ron Paul will “make total sense for a while, and then he'll say something so way out that it negates everything else.” As for Mitt Romney, the rocker said, “I've got to tell you, I was floored the other day to see that Mitt Romney's five boys have a $100 million trust fund. Where does a guy make that much money? So there's some questions there.” Still, Mustaine would pick any of the GOP candidates over President Barack Obama. "I'm just hoping...

Megadeth's Dave Mustaine Was A Parasite Magnet Singer had 51 parasites found in his body after tour WASHINGTON (AP) - Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine never realized when he hit the road, how much of it he brought back with him. Mustaine says he went to see a health practitioner who did an analysis of his body. She told him he found 51 parasites in his body, many of which were varieties of worms. He couldn't believe it. He says he's sure he picked all that up staying in less-than-clean hotel rooms and other hazards of being on tour. It doesn't...

Heavy metal legend Dave Mustaine and TAS's old friend, Human Events editor Jed Babbin, probably don't share too many overlapping areas of interest. But, as Megadeth's latest offering United Abominations makes clear, the transgressions of a certain international body situated on the Hudson River is one topic over which the guitarist and Inside the Asylum author could have a meeting of the minds. In a mere five minutes and thirty-seven seconds United Abominations' title track encapsulates a litany of complaints against this "blot on the face of humanity," as Mustaine sneeringly calls it, from its practical indifference to ethnic cleansing...

NEW YORK (Billboard) -- Heavy metal maven Dave Mustaine is so angry with the United Nations that he is naming his group Megadeth's next album "United Abominations."
