NOTABLE QUOTES

Jack Kerwick contributor to American Greatness: The decent must transform their psyches and focus their wills if they are to become the dangerous folks that they need to become to neutralize the indecent and dangerous.

Matthew Boose contributor to American Greatness: “The rule is now simple: get vaccinated or wear a mask until you do. The choice is yours.” Has an American president ever issued a more tyrannical, contemptuous statement? The choice is yours. According to the White House, America now has a medical caste system. How did this happen?

Brian C. Joondeph, M.D. contributor to American Thinker: . . .after over a year of captivity under rapidly changing, often arbitrary and capricious mandates and restrictions, many individuals are now identifying with their ruling class captors.

Leo Goldstein contributor to American Thinker: Existing child vaccines (like MMR) are given for the child’s health. Achieving herd immunity is a desirable side effect. However, vaccinating children against COVID-19 solely for the sake of herd immunity is illegal and appalling.

Jack Cashill contributor to American Thinker revisits the Obama birth certificate issue: Not to be a conspiracy theorist, mind you, but I would suggest that a firm capable of commissioning the Steele dossier would have no trouble dummying up a birth certificate. Just sayin’.

CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC LOCKDOWNS: CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY?

Kelly: No One Will Pay for COVID Crimes Against Humanity
t appears that Anthony Fauci’s 15 months of fame are just about up. The ubiquitous infectious disease “expert” who became a household name and the most powerful man in the country—or is it the world?—last spring, finally wore out his welcome, even by the friendliest of hosts. For the first time in recent memory, the doctor did not make his morning rounds on the Sunday talk shows. Last week’s weekly press briefing by Joe Biden’s coronavirus task force, featuring Fauci, only earned 19,021 views, a 50 percent drop in viewership since April. The American public, for the most part, is suffering from Fauci Fatigue; his favorability rating has dropped from 68 percent one year ago to 54 percent now. Forty percent of U.S. voters say they’ve lost confidence in Fauci over the past year. His latest tap dance about the origins of the virus while defending the trustworthiness of Chinese researchers does little to restore confidence in his integrity or self-proclaimed expertise. House Republicans introduced a symbolic but futile bill to oust Fauci from his role as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Some even imagine Fauci and his fellow COVID-19 propagandists and profiteers will face charges for the incalculable damage they have inflicted on the country under the guise of virus mitigation. But I have bad news for anyone hoping Fauci will pay a price for his incompetence, misdirection, and in many instances, straight-up malfeasance: he won’t.

AN AMERICA IN DECLINE

(Imprimis) Steyn: Our Increasingly Unrecognizable Civilization
I live about 20 minutes south of the Canadian border, which used to be called the longest undefended frontier in the world. People moved freely back and forth across it all day every day. But now it’s been closed for over a year. At one point my daughter asked me to drive her up there, because there was a 30-minute opportunity for people on one side to talk to their friends on the other. “Sad!” as President Trump would say. It was like Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin during the Cold War, except that both sides are now like East Berlin. I don’t know how this happened, but it is just one indication that America, and the West in general, have become almost unrecognizable from what they were not that long ago. Look at just three things we have lost. One is equality before the law, something absolutely essential to a free society. In its place, we now have politicized law.

Kelly: As the Big Lie About Sicknick Persists, Alleged Attackers Languish in Jail
No one killed Brian Sicknick. But that isn’t stopping the Biden Justice Department, the media, every Democratic politician, and now Sicknick’s loved ones from perpetuating the lie. […] On August 26, 2020, Kevin Phomma was arrested in Portland for assaulting several police officers with bear spray during that city’s nonstop siege by Antifa and Black Lives Matters protesters. Phomma and others surrounded the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility, blocked traffic, and fought with law enforcement. In a press release announcing his arrest, the Justice Department said, “Phomma doused several officers with pepper spray while they attempted to arrest him. Once in custody, officers discovered the pepper spray was in fact a powerful bear deterrent pepper spray.” […] A few days after his arrest, Phomma was released on bail. His trial is still pending; his lawyers claim the civil disorder charge is “a vestige of opposition to civil rights for Black Americans.” (He does not appear to be black.) While Phomma roams free, acting as the aggrieved party rather than the aggressor, the two men who allegedly sprayed officer Brian Sicknick with a chemical irritant on January 6 are not so lucky.

The Center Square, Cowboy State Daily: : Wyoming Rancher Sues Biden Administration Claiming Racial Discrimination
A Wyoming rancher is suing the Biden administration and the U.S. Department of Agriculture claiming race discrimination over a federal loan forgiveness program that bars her from participating because she is white. Leisl Carpenter, a 29-year-old rancher from Laramie, says in the lawsuit that the “American Rescue Plan” loan forgiveness program is unconstitutional because it discriminates. “Like a lot of farmers and ranchers, our client has struggled to keep her family ranch afloat through all the difficulties of the COVID-19 pandemic, only to learn that she is ineligible to even apply for Biden’s loan forgiveness program solely due to her race,” Mountain States Legal Foundation Associate General Counsel William E. Trachman said Tuesday.

GOP

Downs: Thanks to the Biden Administration, We Actually Need a Law to Ensure Only American Flag is Flown at Embassies
On Friday, Republican Reps. Nicole Malliotakis (NY), Ken Buck (CO), Michael Guest (MS), Darrell Issa (CA), Brian Mast (FL), and Pete Sessions (TX), as well as the new House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (NY), introduced the Stars and Stripes Act of 2021. The legislation, according to a press release, “directs the Secretary of State to restrict the display of certain flags or banners at diplomatic and consular posts around the world.” Believe it or not, such legislation is necessary, considering the current Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, has authorized and even encouraged all U.S. embassies overseas to fly the ‘Black Lives Matter’ flag.

PRAGER: The Middle East Dispute Is About Religion, Not Land
If you’ve seen videos of recent attacks on Jews in New York City, Los Angeles, London and elsewhere, you may have missed a very revealing aspect of those attacks. They were almost always — as they have been for decades — accompanied by curses such as, “F*** the Jews.”
Now, given that the perpetrators are almost always Muslims — whether immigrants or children of immigrants from an Arab or other Muslim country — two questions present themselves: . . .

CHINA: AMERICA’S MORTAL ENEMY

Blaze TV Staff: Glenn Beck CALLS OUT companies working with China as HORRIFIC new details emerge about concentration camps
An upcoming book “The Chief Witness: Escape from China’s Modern-Day Concentration Camps,” details one woman’s “fight to survive” inside one of China’s 380 unspeakably horrific concentration camps. On “The Glenn Beck Radio Program” this week, Glenn asked why, after seeing horrors like this in history before, aren’t we taking acting to stop this? Companies like Apple, Google, and Facebook not only continue to work with China, but have sometimes even given the Chinese Communist Party the tools it needs to spy on its people. Glenn read an excerpt from the book in which co-author Sayragul Sauytbay describes the concentration camp where she was incarcerated for the “crime” of being one of the China’s ethnic minorities and the shocking details of what she witnessed and experienced as a prisoner.

BIDEN/ HARRIS/ OBAMA REGIME: TRANSFORMING AMERICA

Haworth: Biden Uses Memorial Day Speech To Push Diversity; Argues That Democracy Is Under Attack, Should Be Fueled By ‘Empathy’
Speaking at the 153rd National Memorial Day Observance at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia, President Joe Biden used the event to claim that democracy is under attack, that “democracy” is the “soul of America,” and that diversity has always been an “incredible strength” when it comes to the armed forces. […] Biden then shifted to use the sacrifice of American service men and women as a political platform, and presented democracy as “more than a form of government.” “[Democracy is] a way of being; it’s a way of seeing the world,” Biden said, before describing democracy in an arguably collectivist context. […] “Folks, you all know it: Democracy thrives when the infrastructure of democracy is strong; when people have the right to vote freely and fairly and conveniently; when a free and independent press pursues the truth, founded on facts, not propaganda; when the rule of law applies equally and fairly to every citizen, regardless of where they come from or what they look like,” Biden said. Biden then concluded by claiming that “empathy is the fuel of democracy.”

Blaze TV: The New War on Terror: Innocent Until Proven Conservative
A coming war of terror on half the country. […] Since the Capitol riot, the Biden administration has shown little transparency while arresting and intimidating hundreds and insisting that “right-wing terror” is on the rise. But is there ANY evidence to back up what the government is now doing to its own citizens? Glenn asks the questions that the corporate media won’t and lays out why this may only be the beginning as private companies prepare to help the government spy on YOU. And Sen. Rand Paul joins to detail how Republicans in Congress are standing against the Democrats’ new Jan. 6th Commission.

Morefield: The Dark Democratic Motives Behind The Government-Induced Labor Shortage
. . .there are three logical consequences of continued government-sponsored mass unemployment, all of which help Democrats gain and retain power. Number one is by far the most obvious. The more Democrats can grow the number of people who are dependent on the government, the more votes the dependency-enablers receive. Like regularly administering free drugs to an addict, keeping the money flowing to otherwise non-lazy people exacerbates a cycle of dependency and degradation that’s not only destructive for those individuals, but for society as a whole. Honest work is, after all, one of the primary vectors of good mental and physical health, despite the fact that human nature often leans toward idleness and laziness. Democrats don’t care, however, as long as those idle people feed their government-created addiction to couch-surfing by voting for them! The second consequence of mass, government-induced unemployment is . . .

Harrigan & Davies: The War on Retirement
Of the five most expensive wars the United States has waged, only one – World War II – involved an armed enemy. The other five – poverty, drugs, terror, and Covid, were all wars on nouns. Now the federal government appears to have inadvertently stumbled into another war – the War on Retirement. Unlike the other wars on nouns, this one isn’t only undeclared, it wasn’t even intended. But the federal government has taken a series of steps that, regardless of intent, have yielded a situation in which retirement may end up a pipe dream for many. Ironically, this war on retirement began with Social Security in 1935. Rather than establishing a forced savings program wherein people would save money during their working years and have that money returned to them during retirement, the government established a Ponzi scheme wherein later participants paid off earlier participants. As with all Ponzi schemes, the program was sustainable only if there were more people paying into the system than were receiving benefits from it. By the early 1980s, too few people were paying in, and Congress fired its first salvo at retirees by making previously tax-free retirement benefits taxable. This tweak in the rules breathed new life into the Ponzi scheme, and Social Security reserves once again grew. But the scheme faltered again in 2010 and since then, Social Security has been paying out more than it brings in. Current estimates have the trust fund becoming insolvent by 2035. To keep this bloated program afloat, . . .
