NOTABLE QUOTES

Dennis Prager talk show host and contributor to PJ Media: Thanks to its conservative half and thanks to the Founders’ genius of defanging the national government by giving states great power, America remains the beacon of liberty it was when Lincoln said, “America is the last best hope of Earth” and when France gave us the Statue of Liberty. If it were up to the Left, America would be as unfree as Canada or Austria. That’s why fighting the Left is the most important thing any American who cherishes liberty can do.

Jon Rappoport author and contributor to Canada Free Press: The CDC and other public health officials have known all along they were running a scam. Committing a crime. A Nuremberg-type crime.

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fl.): “If I had a dollar for every lockdown politician who decided to escape to Florida over the last two years, I’d be a pretty doggone wealthy man. Lemme tell you. I mean congresspeople, mayors, governors, you name it. It’s interesting though the reception that some of these folks will get in Florida because I think a lot of Floridians say ‘wait a minute, you’re bashing us because we’re not doing your draconian policies and yet we’re the first place you want to flee to enjoy life.’”

Margolis: Liz Cheney Reveals the True Purpose of the J6 Committee
In an interview on CBS’s Face the Nation, Cheney was asked by host Margaret Brennan if she intended to run for president against Trump in 2024, and Cheney said the quiet part out loud about the true goal of the committee.
“I’m very focused right now on my re-election and on the work of the select committee,” Cheney replied. “I can tell you that the single most important thing, though, is to ensure that Donald Trump is not the Republican nominee and that he certainly is not anywhere close to the Oval Office ever again.”

Choi: Garland to speak on DOJ’s Jan. 6 prosecutions Wednesday: report
U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland will give a speech on Wednesday about the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) efforts in investigating and prosecuting those who were involved in the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol attack, one day before the insurrection’s one-year anniversary. In a statement provided to The Hill, the DOJ said, “On Wednesday afternoon, Attorney General Garland will update department employees and the American people on [the] Justice Department’s efforts to hold accountable those responsible for the unprecedented attack on the U.S. Capitol one year ago.” “In remarks to the Justice Department workforce, the Attorney General will also reaffirm the department’s unwavering commitment to defend Americans and American democracy from violence and threats of violence,” the department added.

Kelly: One Year Later, More Lingering Questions About January 6
bombshell report just published in Newsweek details an in-depth, secret operation conducted by the Justice Department before and during January 6. Contrary to the lamentations of FBI Director Christopher Wray that he wished his agency had had better resources to prevent the Capitol breach, hundreds of elite forces under Wray’s authority were on stand-by days just before the protest, and even on the ground as it happened. The “shadowy commandos” stationed at Quantico, home of the FBI Academy, on January 2, 2021 included the FBI’s Hostage Rescue Team and SWAT teams. […]  To the casual reader, news that the nation’s top law enforcement agency prepared ahead of time to combat possible violence on January 6 is reassuring. But to anyone who has closely followed the hyperpartisan activity of the FBI over the past several years, the article reads more like a confession, confirming deep suspicions that the FBI played an instrumental role in prompting the events of that day rather than act as a legitimate police force helping to keep lawmakers and American citizens safe. Those suspicions are not without merit. In September, . . . […]  The FBI is a corrupt body that has lost the trust of many Americans, including Republicans who’ve historically supported the bureau. If the FBI infiltrated political groups months ahead of the protest, orchestrated travel plans, and instigated criminal behavior as the FBI apparently did in the Whitmer plot, the American people deserve to know. More questions demand answers, including: . .

Elkind: Secret commandos with the authority to ‘shoot-to-kill’ were at the Capitol on January 6 under Trump’s orders over fears of a terrorist attack or a plot to attack Pence or a member of Congress, report claims
Elite commando teams with the authority to shoot-to-kill were deployed in Washington, DC on January 6th last year to protect ex-Vice President Mike Pence and members of Congress gathering to certify the 2020 election results, a new report claimed on Monday. A year ago today, senior leaders of multiple federal special forces teams met to discuss contingency plans and possible threats ahead of the Joint Session of Congress where President Joe Biden‘s electoral victory was sealed, Newsweek reported. Ex-Acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen, who ran Donald Trump‘s Justice Department at the time of the Capitol riot, reportedly acted alone in deciding to activate the elite units. Neither the contingency plans nor their resulting actions that day were public knowledge before Monday.

Sundance: Media Begins Their Week Long J6 Attack on Democracy Narrative Engineering Effort
Despite the predictability and transparency of the propaganda effort, the media and democrats are going all-in.  All the broadcast Sunday Talk shows were filled with the “democracy in danger” talking points using the January 6, 2021, Capitol Hill protests to drive the agenda. We can likely expect an entire week of building apoplexy culminating in some form of DC release.  The Lawfare crew and the J6 committee members have been producing this pantomime for almost a year, and it kicks off the 2022 Democrat mid-year election effort.Along with the traditional democrat pearl-clutchers the republican wing of the UniParty is putting forth the insufferables: Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Pete Meijer and the one-eyed Cheney, Dan Crenshaw.   Additionally, the collapse of the ‘winter of death’ narrative combined with the inability of a new canine in the White House to rebrand the occupant, means even more emphasis will be placed on the J6 nonsense this week. […]  The democrats must distract to something, must point to something, because there’s literally not a single positive accomplishment for them to refer to on anything.   Gas prices have doubled, energy prices have skyrocketed, home heating costs have doubled, inflation at the grocery store is crushing every worker and, if you believe their fearmongering, COVID is worse than ever despite all the triple-vaxxed, boosted, double-maskers running around shouting at everyone to hide in the bunkers.

Bonchie: Did God Just Throw a Wrench in the Democrats’ Gaudy January 6th Plans?
OK, before you freak out, I’m not suggesting that God actually intervened here in order to spite Democrats. I mean, maybe he did, but I’m not saying it. Rather, I’m just saying that as a Christian who believes God set the weather system in motion, that he’s kind of indirectly responsible for this.
If you haven’t checked the weather recently in Washington DC, the nation’s capital is currently getting a healthy dose of snow. Some places have already gotten 6 inches, and there’s more coming as the day drags on. Why is that relevant? Because if you’ve ever lived there (I did for about three years, including during 2016’s snowmageddon), you know that the slightest bit of snow shuts down that city for days on end.

FAUCI’S VIRUS: IT’S POLITICAL

Rappoport: COVID scam falls apart; it’s over
Since the beginning, I’ve been producing the evidence COVID is a scam. Now, official agencies are virtually admitting it. On December 29, the head of the CDC, Rochelle Walensky, announced, in a White House press briefing, that the PCR test can register positive (meaning the person is “infected”) long AFTER infection is over. Here’s Walensky’s money quote: “…people can remain PCR positive for up to 12 weeks after infection and long after they are transmissible and infectious.” That means MILLIONS of FALSE positive test results have been logged as REAL, in the past two years.

(UPDATE)  Fred T: “Extreme censorship in REAL TIME”: Google is 1984-ing this Doctor’s societal DIAGNOSIS, thus VERIFYING it.
It might take a second for the implication in the soft-spoken video to sink in, but when it does … whoa nellie. Censorship, propaganda, and manipulation are a subtle business. Sure, popular culture depicts them as heavy handed and overt, but as we all know from the last 7 years of it, it’s actually pervasive and insidious. In fact you might say the popular perception of it as easy to spot is itself propaganda and manipulation. But what you see in this video? It’s massive on a scale never before possible in history, but not undreamt. They are silencing Malone. Not just with overt action like a Twitter ban, but by manipulating the information that one finds about what he has to say, and the very idea of mass formation psychosis itself.

Billingsley: Cruz and Codevilla Decode Fauci’s COVID Capers
“If a child goes into the hospital,” Dr. Anthony Fauci said last week, “they automatically get tested for COVID and they get counted as a COVID-hospitalized individual, when, in fact, they may go in for a broken leg or appendicitis or something like that. So it’s overcounting the number of children who are, quote, hospitalized with COVID as opposed to because of COVID.” That revelation brought a response from U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas):  “Now Fauci says this? Is this because pandemic politics have changed for the Biden admin?” he tweeted. Cruz was right. And before he passed away last year, Angelo Codevilla addressed the issue in “Doctors, Doctored Numbers, and Democracy.”

BIDEN’S UNCONSTITUTIONAL VACCINE MANDATE

(1/3/22) Alex Berenson Troubling data about Pfizer’s Covid vaccine and children… from Pfizer’s own clinical trial
The company’s struggles with dosing kids under five are part of a bigger issue around vaccinating children. Pfizer is walking a tightrope as it tries to convince reluctant parents to vaccinate their kids for an illness that is barely a cold for most healthy children. Despite relentless advertising campaigns and scare stories about children being hospitalized for Covid (stories that frequently reveal about halfway down that the kids were hospitalized for other problems and had incidental Covid diagnoses), only about 1 in 5 American kids 5-12 has received a Covid vaccine. Pfizer’s own data may only increase that reluctance.

(From 11/2021) Alexander PhD: 6 Studies Showing Why Children Don’t Need — and Shouldn’t Get — a COVID Vaccine
Here are six studies that make the case for not vaccinating children: 1. A 2020 Yale University report indicates children and adults display very diverse and different immune system responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection which explains why they have far less illness or mortality from COVID. According to the study: . . .  2. Studies by Ankit B. Patel and Dr. Supinda Bunyavanich show the virus uses the ACE 2 receptor to gain entry to the host cell, and the ACE 2 receptor has limited (less) expression and presence in the nasal epithelium in young children (potentially in upper respiratory airways). 3. William Briggs reported on the n=542 children who died (0-17 years (crude rate of 0.00007 per 100 and under 1 year old n=132, CDC data) since January 2020 with a diagnosis of COVID linked to their death. This does not indicate whether, as Johns Hopkins’ Dr. Marty Makary has been clamoring, the death was “causal or incidental.” That said, from January 2020, 1,043 children 0-17 have died of pneumonia. 4. Weisberg and Farber et al. suggest (and building on research work by Kumar and Faber) that the reason children can more easily neutralize the virus is that their T cells are relatively naïve. They argue that since children’s T cells are mostly untrained, they can thus immunologically respond (optimally differentiate) more rapidly and nimbly to novel viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 for an effective robust response. 5. Research published in August 2021 by J. Loske deepens our understanding of this natural type biological/molecular protection even further by showing that “pre-activated (primed) antiviral innate immunity in the upper airways of children work to control early SARS-CoV-2 infection … the airway immune cells in children are primed for virus sensing…resulting in a stronger early innate antiviral response to SARS-CoV-2 infection than in adults.” 6.When one is vaccinated or becomes infected naturally, this drives the formation, tissue distribution and clonal evolution of B cells, which is key to encoding humoral immune memory.

Franklin: China’s Hostile South Pacific Takeover
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is accelerating its campaign to isolate Taiwan from the existing international order by offering bribes in some of these poor islands to leadership figures to break with Taipei. Presently, only 15 nations have formal diplomatic relations with Taiwan, and four of them are in the South Pacific: the Marshall Islands, Nauru, Palau, and Tuvalu. Some of these states once had diplomatic links with Taiwan but were seemingly wooed away by Beijing’s offer of financial loans, investment, and corrupt practices. These at times included direct interference in these islands’ domestic political affairs, threatening the efficacy of their governmental institutions.

BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA REGIME: TRANSFORMING THE U.S.  MILITARY

Sundance: Navy SEALS Win Preliminary Injunction Against Biden Mandated COVID Vaccination
Let’s hope this preliminary injunction holds up for the Special Warfare Personnel [Court Ruling HERE]  The United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas today issued a preliminary injunction, stopping the Department of Defense from punishing military service members who have religious objections to the vaccine mandate. First Liberty Institute filed a federal lawsuit and motion for preliminary injunction on behalf of dozens of U.S. Navy SEALs and other Naval Special Warfare personnel against the Biden Administration and the Department of Defense for their refusal to grant religious accommodations to the COVID-19 vaccine mandate. “Forcing a service member to choose between their faith and serving their country is abhorrent to the Constitution and America’s values,” said Mike Berry, General Counsel for First Liberty Institute.

Richards: U.S. Military Uses Religious Test Against Service Members To Enforce Vaccine Mandate
The military is denying requests for religious exemptions because officials disagree with the theological views of service members. […] Last September, an Air Force Academy graduate requested a religious exemption. As a Catholic, she objected to benefitting from vaccines developed or tested on cell lines derived from a procured abortion. The reviewing chaplain denied her request. What’s troubling is that he did so on theological grounds. If this case were unique, we might not worry much about it. But this is just one example of many. Not everyone agrees on the morality of taking COVID-19 vaccines. Even Catholic bishops do not agree on the matter. Some have called for ethical alternatives. Others have urged Catholics to get a vaccine. But it’s not hard to construct a coherent objection to the drugs in question. Here goes.

Hubbard: Judicial Watch sues FBI for records on Garland’s Critical Race Theory memo
Judicial Watch on Monday announced it filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit to obtain records about a memorandum from Attorney General Merrick Garland instructing law enforcement to “address the rise in criminal conduct directed toward school personnel” following heated discussions about Critical Race Theory. The conservative watchdog sought Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) documents related to the memo through an October 2021 FOIA request but the federal agency failed to respond. The controversial memo, titled “Partnership Among Federal, State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial Law Enforcement to Address Threats Against School Administrators, Board Members, Teachers, and Staff,” stated that there has been a “disturbing spike in harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence against” school employees.

The Right Scoop: WH briefing room starts new year with NO seats for non-MSM reporters and they blame it on Omicron
The White House Correspondents Association, which is run by MSM reporters, has just reduced the briefing room to only 14 seats, claiming the virulence of Omicron is to blame: . . . What a coincidence in an election year, just as the Biden administration has been meeting with newsrooms to convince them to spin his bad economy into a good one. I’m sure this has nothing to do with how badly Democrats want to win this year in the House and Senate races. No, of course not. ❋COUGH❋

Brufke: Schumer vows doomed Senate filibuster rule change vote by MLK Day
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) asserted Monday that he will force a vote on a measure to change the upper chamber’s rules by Jan. 17 in order to pass a sweeping election reform bill — a gambit that is certain to fail due to opposition by moderate Sens. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) to making such changes along party lines. The announcement in a letter to colleagues marked Schumer’s strongest call yet to change the 60-vote legislative filibuster rule in order to ease the path for Democrats to force through the massive legislation.

AMERICA THE LAST BEST HOPE

Prager: As of This Moment, America Is Still a Beacon of Liberty
Under the pretext of public health, the soul of what is known as the Free West has left most Western countries. Looking at the government overreach and abuses of power in virtually every other Western nation, one can only conclude that America truly is the last free man standing. Here is a rundown of the suppression of liberty in major Western countries. CANADA Let’s start with our neighbor to the north.  Canada is one of the least free countries in the Western world. In some ways it is the least free. In every area of life, including freedom of speech, Canada severely restricts its citizens’ rights. Canada is one of the only countries in the world that bans the unvaccinated from all public transportation — airplanes, trains and buses. And no Canadian home can entertain more than three non-household visitors — a ban that prevented families and friends from getting together for Christmas. Canada is a moral embarrassment. But apparently most Canadians are perfectly content to live in a country moving toward dictatorship.  They should replace the maple leaf on the Canadian flag with a sheep.

Korwin: Gun Rights: Gunless People Are Dangerous
Fear and hatred of guns have unintended consequences; political fallout and dangers which are largely missed in the running monologues that pass for “news” in America today. Age-old wisdom suggesting knowledge of guns leading to harm is incorrect, according to leading experts on both sides of the aisle. People who avoid guns, and refuse to discuss the subject, exhibit fear bordering on paranoia, leading to accidents, defenselessness, and potentially dire consequences. Criminals now running rampant on a small number of American streets have virtually no training, and certainly don’t represent the values of marksmanship and firearms education, which generally lead to self-control and responsibility.

Fuentes: New Jersey vs. Gun Owners
For much of the past forty years and more often at government expense, Phil Murphy has surrounded himself with a well-armed and trained private and public security force, first as a bigwig with Goldman Sachs, then as U.S. ambassador to Germany for Barak Obama, and now as governor of the deep blue Garden State that narrowly elected him to a second term amidst an unforeseen red wave of discontent at the ballot box.  Along the way, his dogma evolved from boardroom idealism to political progressivism, an evolution familiar to those of moneyed privilege and far removed from the trials of life on Main Street. […] The window to effectively disarm New Jerseyans is closing within days.  The current legislative session ends on January 11, replaced by a Democratic majority wounded by the loss of eight Assembly seats to the Republican caucus and the red flag of a cliffhanger election.  Wrapped in the rhetoric of gun safety and citing a recent Michigan school shooting as the du jour act to move quickly, Murphy has opened a salvo on the state’s one million legal gun owners by dissimulating the actual causes of gun crime.

Stiles: Here Comes the Stacey Abrams Media Rebrand
Stacey Abrams was repeatedly praised as a “bold progressive” with an “unapologetically left” agenda during her failed gubernatorial campaign in 2018. Now that she’s running again in 2022, Abrams and her media allies would like to revise the record by insisting that she is in fact a pragmatic moderate.
Astead Herndon’s most recent piece in the New York Times suggests the Stacey Abrams rebranding effort is well underway. Herndon, author of articles such as “Menace Enters the Republican Mainstream,” conducted his own “review” of Abrams’s political ideology and found “a leader who has carefully calibrated her positions, making a point to avoid drifting into one Democratic lane or another.”

EDUCATION INDOCTRINATION

Grabar: A Gift from the Mendacious Nikole Hannah-Jones to Conservative Lawmakers
If political leaders across the country are looking for more evidence that they are justified in banning The 1619 Project curriculum in schools they can refer to comments made by the Project’s own creator, Nikole Hannah-Jones, on December 26, during the Sunday show line-up, on NBC’s Meet the Press. In her comments to Chuck Todd, she revealed herself to be a dissembler regarding her role in promoting 1619 Project classroom lessons. Then in tweets that insisted that all critics henceforth engage only with her new book The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story, a 600-page expansion, she admitted that the original project, upon which the lessons are based, is flawed.
