No, the cowardly politicians who enabled foolish and unprecedented lockdowns do not deserve to blame the results on anything but themselves.In Joe Biden’s painful and inaccurate speech about inflation on Tuesday, he finally shifted from blaming racism for everything to blaming Covid for everything to now blaming “the supply chain” and “Mr. Putin’s war in Ukraine” (that Biden baited Putin into) for everything.These “supply chain disruptions,” as everyone is painfully aware, are doing everything from starving babies to shooting up the price of everything, as Wednesday’s 8.3 percent annual inflation number affirmed again. They are also not random, and they’re...

On Sunday, Anthony “Dr. Science” Fauci said that he thought a vaccine mandate for air travel would be a great idea. On Monday, having run it up the flagpole without any salutes, he walked that idea back again. But on Tuesday, to make it impossible for Americans to plan even a day in advance, Biden put vaccines for air travel back on the table. If Democrats aren’t intentionally trying to destroy America, they’re certainly doing a good job by accident. Here’s where we are:The CDC has long acknowledged that vaccines do not stop COVID infections or spread, so that means...

Dozens of industry groups warned President Biden that his vaccine mandate would intensify rampant supply chain bottlenecks. On Thursday, the Biden administration revealed its COVID-19 vaccine and testing mandate for employees at businesses with 100 or more workers. Noncompliant companies may be fined roughly $14,000 per violation. In their open letter to President Biden, the industry groups — which included the American Trucking Associations, National Private Truck Council, and Truckload Carriers Association — predicted that trucking companies may lose nearly four in ten drivers due to the mandate: Our industries are committed partners in the fight against COVID-19, and we...

American truckers don’t like taking orders. But the Biden administration has increased pressure on some of them to take the vaccine—willing or unwilling.All through the pandemic, truckers endured hardships to keep America’s infrastructure running. They waited in line for hours in sight of bathrooms they weren’t allowed to use. On the road, some died alone of COVID-19.Now, with supply chains disrupted, Americans need them more than ever. But faced with the prospect of a mandated vaccination, many drivers are considering quitting.“I’d fight it,” said veteran trucker Mike Widdins, referring to a vaccine mandate. “I think a lot of us will...

President Biden on Wednesday praised his “port envoy” John Porcari for doing a “heck of job” — twice calling him by the wrong first name — while discussing mounting shipping-container backlogs that threaten the timely delivery of everyday consumer goods, Christmas gifts and even the trees to put them under. Biden applauded Porcari’s work as he announced that the Port of Los Angeles would move to a 24/7 work schedule following the emergency example of the nearby Port of Long Beach, which expanded hours three weeks ago to alleviate the mounting supply chain crunch. “I especially want to thank Joe...

The engineered mass famine in America is now under way, with the deep state sabotage of the Colonial Pipeline already causing trucking to suffer fuel shortages across Southeast states, impairing some food deliveries. If this pipeline is not fully restored in the next 72 hours or so, food shelves in some areas will go empty and panic will take hold across the populations there. Already, over a thousand gas stations have run out of gas, and people are so desperate to stock up on gasoline that the federal government had to issue a warning that tells people it’s unsafe to...

Classroom settings in the educational institutions and teaching techniques today are very different from what it used to be ten years back, but bears a fleeting resemblance to the ‘Gurukul’ ethos of ancient India. The rote learning system propagated in the colonial era is now being transformed by the cutting-edge teaching and learning methods aided by smart and innovative technologies. The disruption is happening at a faster pace with the availability of low-cost smart devices and improved internet connectivity as well.Today, both students and teachers have access to smart mobile devices, and a bunch of distance e-learning and assessment solutions...

The University of Texas-San Antonio (UTSA) has removed a biology professor from her own class after she called campus security on a student who was disruptive and rude throughout the semester. On November 12, longtime professor Anita Moss was teaching a lecture hall class when she noticed that a female student put her feet up. Finding this unacceptable, Moss asked her to stop. The student vocally refused, and Moss called campus security. While it is not uncommon for professors to call backup -- when I took classes at Cleveland State University, this happened often in freshman lecture hall classes --...

RUSH: Here it is, folks. My mistake. I pulled out of the press conference too soon. Within two minutes of my leaving the press conference in the last half hour, Jim Acosta at CNN stood up, and this is what happened. THE PRESIDENT: They weren’t actors. They weren’t actors. No, it’s true. Do you think they were actors? They weren’t actors. They didn’t come from Hollywood. These were people — this was an actual — you know, it happened a few days ago. And — Trump grows angry with press, calls Jim Acosta 'rude, terrible person'ACOSTA: They’re hundreds of miles...

Not the first time that POS Brian Ross conveniently lied about or faked a story to further an agenda. It's also not the first time the jaundiced swamp-whores and crypto-Never-Trumpers at FOX ran breathlessly to their mics, barely able to contain their glee; Our president was heading for the unthinkable constitutional crisis they've been vying for and the stock market was crashing on the news. YAAAAAAAAYYYYY! This is worse than yelling "fire" in a crowded movie theater. No objective person can deny that they are attempting to overturn an American election and hobble the will of The People... often in...
