Regarding 'The Karens,' The Hill and many other progressive corporate media journalists really show their own strong racist tendencies when they group these populations together and treat them as a single entity. It's 'othering', isn't it?

The overwhelming majority of these segments of the population are just getting on with life and getting beat up and exasperated like the rest of us. A small number of poorly-raised black kids are largely responsible for the looting sprees we're seeing in the large blue cities, and the Homeless Community Developments are also thanks to the Great Progressive Experiment. These journalistas still manage to be hopelessly tone deaf when trying to characterize these things - yet here they are talking about the 'Karen's slacktivism.' This does not pass unnoticed.

Look at this poor guy, dude just wants to change his oil, bro. https://twitter.com/i/status/1477321420770353152

Free the J6 political prisoners. Stop their torture. Investigate the torturers and the FBI.

Victor Davis Hanson gets it right, as usual.

re White flag: EU to declare natural gas, nuclear power "green"

One wonders how THAT will go over with the environmental zealots?

My guess is not very well. I expect there will be blowback from the high priests in the Church of Global Warming.

re After Drumming Out Unvaxxed Servicemembers, Fully Vaccinated and Boosted Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin Tests Positive for COVID

Has any one seen if the armed forces are meeting their recruitment golals?

Given all that has happened in the last year combined with a hot labor market would lead me to speculate that recruitment may be way down.

re Oregon Business Owner Ordered to Remove American Flag Mural on Private Property

This looks to me like a first ammendment issue.

"The push to open schools is rooted in racism, sexism, and misogyny."

The invention of the lightbulb, baked beans, and fly fishing are all rooted in racism, sexism, and misogyny, why not the push to open schools as well? And if you're wondering how the invention of the lightbulb, baked beans, and fly fishing are all racist and sexist, well, it's not my job to educate you, you filthy white supremacist.

Actually, sending kids back to school is the totally NOT based on "racism, sexism, and misogyny." In fact, it's quite the opposite; getting kids back to proper classes where research has shown they do much better - particularly in lower grades - in in-person classes. And we're not even looking at the resources parents have to allow their children to access on-line learning. We are very grateful that our province has - despite fierce attacks from the opposition (supported, we suspect, by the teachers' union) - kept the schools generally open. We're closed this week, but are set to open next Monday. The grandbrats may be glad for an extra week off, but the parents aren't; at least one pair of grandbrats will be finding themselves having home schooling this week.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has covid in spite of getting three jabs. So tell me again why we kicked out good military people who wanted an exemption to the shot?

Because the percentages are still strongly with the vaccinated, and he is responsible for reducing the number of cases as well as possible. No one ever said the vaccination was 100%, and everyone knew variants were going to be even more likely to break through. That is a continual strawman that is one more reason why I never go to Gateway Pundit anymore, which I used to like. He has either lost his reasoning ability or he is dishonest.

Whether drumming them out was the correct response I don't know. I have to think that interruptions in service with loss of those privileges could have been managed. But that is a separate issue to whether Austin was stupid, or uninformed, or a hypocrite. He did the arithmetic correctly. His critics aren't.

Here is a compilation of the original vaccine narrative from early 2021. There are two other compilations out there if you wish to look.

"he is responsible for reducing the number of cases as well as possible"
If the vax doesn't prevent infection AND if the vaxed once infected can infect others your statement is pure BS.

But the point of this is that this dufus is kicking out healthy military people because of their personal health decision to not get vaxed when the evidence is clear that the vax doesn't stop covid and doesn't prevent those who are vaxed from spreading covid.

At this point it is obvious that the vax mandate is political and not medical or based on science.

So why 20 years later is the Patriot Act being used to oppress the citizens BUT cannot stop either illegal aliens or terrorists from entering the country at our Southern border?

For extra credit answer why does the Biden administration fly these illegal aliens to American cities in the early AM? Why not when we could see them after all isn't it our country and shouldn't the government be honest with us? Why sneak around behind our bacK?
