Can You Feel The #Unity, Here In #OneMinnesota?
Ilhan Omar thinks we’re the “Klan”: Omar’s not stupid. She knows that’s not true. She just knows that CD5 Democrats pretty much believe anything they’re told.

Conventional Wisdom
“Masking up reduces rates of infection!” According to a Danish study? Not significantly: The recommendation to wear surgical masks to supplement other public health measures did not reduce the SARS-CoV-2 infection rate among wearers by more than 50% in a community with modest infection rates, some degree of social distancing, and uncommon general mask use.…

Jackpine Snipers
After a session of being neutered and stripped of their leadership positions by the increasingly metro-dominated DFL, there’ve been rumors bouncing around CD8 circles that Senators Bakk and Tomassoni were going to bolt the DFL. And according to Tom Hauser, that may be in the near offing…: …although not quite to the point of joining…

On The One Hand…
… this is one of the better explanations of critical theory I’ve seen: On the other hand, I have a little doubt that it’s going to trigger some progressive…

Where Have You Gone, David Dinkins?
New Yorkers are leaving NYC in record numbers. I’ve added emphasis in a few places: City residents filed 295,103 change of address requests from March 1 through Oct. 31, according to data The Post obtained from the US Postal Service under a Freedom of Information Act request. Since the data details only when 11 or…

Memory
Memory is a survival trait. Squirrels remember where they buried the nut, so they can eat it laterto survive the winter. Those that don’t, die. Children remember burning their finger, so they treat firerespectfully. Those who don’t, burn to death. Conservatives remember past public policy disasters, so we can avoidrepeating them. We use monuments and…

Real Science Vs. Media Science
Not sure where this graphic came from, but it’s one of the best bits of journalism I’ve seen lately. On the left – real science. On the right… …NPR’s, and the rest of the media’s, version of “science”. I should do a similar one for journalism and “journalism”.

Chicago major Lori “Walker” Lightfoot shuts down Thanksgiving, but defends going to Biden rallies. Because science.

The Non-Profit/Industrial Complex
Joe Biden’s “Cancer Charity” appears to be about as legitimate as the Clinton Foundation. President-elect Joe Biden‘s cancer charity spent the majority of its money on staff payroll and gave none to research, it has been revealed. First reported by The New York Post, tax filings viewed by DailyMail.com showed that The Biden Cancer Initiative amassed $4,809,619…

Rule Changes
Democrats in the Senate couldn’t get President Obama’s judicialnominations approved under the old rules, so Chuck Schumer changed therules. Republicans saw the rule change and used it to President Trump’sjudicial nominations approved. Rule changes cut both ways. Democrats couldn’t get Joe Biden elected using legitimate ballots, sothey kicked out poll watchers and dumped half-a-million phony…

Your Lyin’ Eyes
SCENE: Mitch BERG is standing, socially distanced, in line at the Q-Fanatic Barbeque in South Minneapolis. Focused on the smell of the delicious brisket, he’s caught by surprise as Avery LIBRELLE walks in behind him. LIBRELLE: Merg! BERG: Oh, shhh….sure enough, it’s Avery. What’s new… LIBRELLE: You wingnuts are paranoid. [Switches to that condescending coo-ing…

This Is The Song That Never Ends. It Goes On And On Again.
I think Democrat politicians count on their voters having the attention spans of ferrets on espresso: Is there a Democrat who can think critically? I’m not trying to ask a trick or rhetorical question…

And Now The Mensheviks Must Pay
When “progressives” win, two things happen: Drunk with power, they overreach. They start eating their own. They won’t be able to try Phase 1 for a bit yet. But here’s hoping we’re seeing the beginning of Phase 2.

Pick Me!
The CDC has issued a new order allowing cruise ships to sail again. Without passengers. They can take volunteers who will pretend to be passengers, so the cruise lines can try out their new antiseptic cleaning and social distancing measures to keep the ship safe from the deadliest virus ever known to mankind, which so far (rounded…

Unity
Just a further reminder… …for those who may need it… …(and “those who may need it” in are pretty much invariably Democrats)… …that when the left jabbers about “unity”, they mean “everybody who isn’t united with us shuts up”. At the, er, very least.

The Big Problem
So what’s the big problem with American democracy today? Is it that decades of miseducation has turned Democrats into a lumpen mass of herd animals to whom “critical thought” may as well be Sanskrit – even, maybe especially, the “Educated” ones? Well, that’s a little hyperbolic, but that’s a big part of is. But reading…

Wealthy Heir Syndrome
Sarah Hoyt makes an interesting observation: the “mostly peaceful” rioters and looters are suffering from Wealthy Heir disease. You know what she means. She means the kid who got his trust fund money for his 18th birthday, bought a Camero, got drunk and wrapped it around a tree. She means the kid whose parents paid his tuition,…

Higher Calling
Florida governor DeSantis proposes broadening Florida’s self-defense laws to make shooting in defense of property against looters more legally tenable. The media is howling that it would enable roaming packs of vigilantes to slaughter people on the streets. Like most media reports on expanding self-defense rights, it’s a lot more nuanced than that: The law…

Covid Theatre
Testing reveals the Covid virus is spreading rapidly throughout the state; therefore, we must lock down again to prevent a Surge of Covid cases resulting in a huge number of hospitalizations which will overwhelm the medical system, leaving patients to die untreated in hallways and parking lots. So claims the Walz Administration. Someone should tell…

Veterans Day
I never quite know what to say to veterans. Hear me out, here. Saying “thank you for your service” seems trite – almost mawkish. Someone who never served saying “Thanks for going overseas and getting shot at!”? See what I mean? In the meantime, what I want to say is “glad you made it home”. But…

Suggestion
The Lincoln Project is a group of ostensible “principled Republican” Never-Trumpers (which I can respect, so far)… …who ended the cycle by going all-in for Biden (which I cannot). But now, there’s this: And with that, I’m gonna suggest they pick a more appropriate name. Maybe “The Beria Project”. (Kids, ask your history-literate parents).

Unclear Messaging
Member of Biden’s “Covid Task force”, Ezekiel Emanuel, has a cutoff on quality of life: Wondering if “Dr.” Emanuel has checked the “birth date” section of his boss’s bio…

Intended Consequences
Remember President Obama’s Cash for Clunkers program? Trade in an oldcar for a more fuel-efficient one, get up to $4,500 in federal rebatemoney. Your clunker was crushed. The effect of the program was todistort the used car market, driving up prices of starter vehicles forthe young and poor, making it harder for them to get…

As Assigned
The 2024 campaign has started… …and the Associated Press is doing its job: trying to undercut Republican challengers. In this case, South Dakota’s Kristy Noem, widely seen as a solid dark-horse contender (I’ve added emphasis): It’s unlikely that much, if any, of the money will end up going to Trump, said Paul S. Ryan, the…
