No amount of spending is ever enough for the communist Democrats. – The standard excuse the communist Democrats have deployed for the last half century to explain the abject failure of Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society socialist welfare state to reduce poverty or make any aspect of life better for the nation’s poor is that we just didn’t spend enough money on it. No matter how many trillions of dollars America spent on these socialist/communist schemes, it was never enough. If only we’d just spend more. Now here comes China Joe Biden, having already spent $2 trillion on a new set...

“…and for other purposes” seems to be included in the titles of so many bills these days that it’s always enlightening to dig a little deeper, past a bill’s obvious provisions. In the case of H.R. 1 -- the 2021 Omnibus Federal Electoral Fraud Enhancement Act -- the revelations are pretty scary. They’re intended to drive from politics people Democrats don’t like and to consolidate in Congressional hands information that violates the Separation of Powers doctrine or the Bill of Rights. Others have spoken forcefully about the bill’s proposed unjust and ruinous changes to the Federal Election Commission, campaign finance...

It’s just the flu, bro. https://knowyourarchetypes.com/devouring-mother-archetype/ The Oedipal mother archetype has been in stories for thousands of years. Why do we have these stories? Because they are a practical warning about the consequences of the over controlling, devouring and over protective mother. And Jordan Peterson would say that these stories are critical to know and that they are a result of thousands of years of humanity recognizing what is good and what is bad. The Oedipal mother is seen today in the mask Karen who freaks out when someone comes 5 ft 11 inches from their child, who they are...

The corrupt, Soviet-style, state-run media is all in on the $3 trillion Biden infrastructure plan. – The great Mollie Hemingway captured the essence of the media’s slavish, lapdog reaction to the Sock Puppet-in-Chief’s announcement yesterday in this tweet: Everything about that New York Times headline is an outright lie, a Biden administration narrative parroted by leftist stooges who spend their days posing as journalists. Enlarge that chart on the left of the page and what you see is not a focus on “jobs, roads and growth,” but on payoffs to the Democrat Party’s supporters in the green lobby and its...

It’s going to be hard for them to let go. You know those I’m talking about. The people in our midst who’ve made COVID the central focus of their lives for the last year. The friends, coworkers, neighbors, and perfect strangers emboldened to stroll right up to you and tell you exactly what they think about your maskless conduct or your gathering of one-too-many people at your private party.Here’s to you, the panicky parents who won't let your kids play on playgrounds outside, to the bureaucrats in towns, cities and states from coast to coast who’ve been getting contact highs...

Let's celebrate the federal government every April Fools' Day. How fitting a holiday to toast a byzantine, irresponsible, and largely untouchable system of red-tape rule-makers and above-the-law actors who do little for the American people other than overpromise, underperform, and charge a hundred times more than they're worth for the service. This is a bureaucratic leviathan so corrupt that it requires a cottage industry of lobbyists to enrich the "public servants," so unserious in its missions that it can't finish one war before starting the next, so anti-American in its sentiments that it routinely proclaims its citizens the most villainous...

The American military, which gets 53% of the federal budget left over after it’s done paying for mandatory entitlement programs, exists for one reason and one reason only: To defend America from foreign enemies. If it can’t do that, we may as well get rid of it. The Pentagon, however, doesn’t seem interested in buffing up its only (not its primary, its only) responsibility. Instead, the hard left careerists who work there see it as a vehicle for social justice experiments. In service to this fetish, the military is once again going all-in on transgenderism. *snip* Regardless transgenderism’s real cause...

The old saying goes, “You can’t polish a turd.” Apparently, however, you can still milk it for money out of dumb people because, as another famous saying goes, “A fool and his money are soon parted.” Or put another way, “There’s a sucker born every minute. Case in point: the Lincoln Project.The people behind the Lincoln Project are geniuses, at least in one sense - they recognized that Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) was real and largely impacted wealthy liberals. When you’ve got leftists with more money than they know what to do with worked up about something, it’s pretty easy...

The Army has awarded Microsoft a contract that could be worth almost $22 billion for its futuristic goggles that give soldiers a new way to see the battlefield. Known as IVAS, the acronym for the Integrated Visual Augmentation System, the goggles project 3D terrain maps over what soldiers see directly in front of them and allows troops to see in the dark, through smoke and even around corners.On Wednesday, the Army announced that it had awarded a 10-year production contract to Microsoft for the IVAS system potentially worth $21.88 billion.

There’s always an uproar when we see Asian-Americans being beaten to a pulp or murdered on video and the people around them just stare instead of intervene. But why are we surprised? They are just doing exactly what society has told them to do. It’s not necessarily cowardice. They are making an entirely rational choice based on our society’s unequivocal message that we should stand back and watch. If we, as a society, want to have people leap into the fray, and I would like that, then we need to do the things that make it a rational choice to...

US Border Patrol captures smugglers dropping toddlers over border wall SANTA TERESA, New Mexico (KCBD) - Two female toddlers were rescued by U.S. Border Patrol Agents on Tuesday evening after being dropped over a border barrier just west of Mt. Cristo Rey, which is near El Paso, Texas. The agents say the three-year-old and five-year-old were abandoned and mistreated by human smugglers. The toddlers are from Ecuador and are sisters. Using camera technology, smugglers were caught dropping the children from the top of the approximately 14-foot high border barrier. Immediately after both children landed on the ground, two smugglers immediately...

Soon, a low score — based on things like products you buy or how much electricity you use — could SIGNIFICANTLY impact your life Global elites may soon influence every financial aspect of your life — car loans, business loans, mortgages, and more. It's all thanks to the partnership between America's biggest banks, the federal government, and global groups like the World Economic Forum —and it has already begun. The Heartland Institute's Justin Haskins joined Glenn Beck on the radio program to describe how Bank of America Merrill Lynch now assigns ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) credit scores for customers....

More consumers will soon be able to test themselves for COVID-19 from the comfort of their own home. On Wednesday, the Food and Drug Administration approved two rapid antigen home tests for use in the U.S. Americans will soon be able to purchase Abbott's BinaxNOW and Quidel Quickvue tests at drug stores. The two options join a test made by Ellume, which received FDA approval in December, in the market. The two, newly-approved swab tests will be sold at a lower price point. The BinaxNOW and Quickvue tests are expected to be sold in two-packs for around $15-20; Ellume costs...

Thanks to the Federal Reserve, the idea that you can go into a store and anonymously purchase something with cash might soon be obsolete. Why? Because they're developing something called Fedcoin, which would be based on blockchain technology. If you're unfamiliar with blockchain technology, you're not alone. Here's how a piece on Motley Fool describes it: The digital and decentralized ledger that records all transactions. Every time someone buys digital coins on a decentralized exchange, sells coins, transfers coins, or buys a good or service with virtual coins, a ledger records that transaction, often in an encrypted fashion, to protect...

Major League Baseball's Opening Day is Thursday and while box scores will once again light up across the country, one stat fans won't see on scorecards is how climate change has affected the game. Over the last 50 years, the average temperature in cities with MLB teams has warmed 2.1 degrees Fahrenheit, according to findings published Wednesday by nonprofit news and science organization Climate Central. That figure fluctuates to as much as a 5.2-degree increase for the Toronto Blue Jays, and tenth of a degree of cooling in Oakland for the Athletics. All 30 teams are set to take the...

@SkyNews "I don't want them to have any guilt". Philonise Floyd says he doesn't want any witnesses of his brother George Floyd's death to feel guilty. He adds, the "person who should be feeling guilty is Chauvin because he killed my brother".

Voting rights activist and former Georgia state Rep. Stacey Abrams (D) on Wednesday said that boycotting Georgia businesses over their failure to condemn the state’s new controversial voting rights law are currently “not necessary,” though she hinted that they could be needed in the future. In an op-ed published by USA Today, the former Georgia Democratic gubernatorial nominee responded to increased calls among voters to boycott Georgia-based corporations like Coca-Cola and Delta Air Lines after they did not immediately condemn the sweeping voting bill signed into law last week. The legislation imposes several restrictions on voting in the state, including...

I am still working on publishing my in depth analysis of the current social and political climate. I do not want to get ahead of the decisions and actions which the Biden Administration must make over the next 30 days. Rather than speculate I think it is best to grab another bowl of popcorn 🍿 and observe. As you do so keep your focus on 3 things happening simultaneously this weekend and up until tax day 2021 ((( 15 April 2021 ))). I believe there will be a significant shift in the direction of the US and World social and...
