AND THE DOUBLE REVERSE!  WHO backtracks on its earlier dismissal of potential Chinese laboratory leak of coronavirus.

Dear Lord, we know we asked you to make our enemies both stupid and ridiculous, but would it be too much to ask you to make them also not quite so dangerous?

HIS NAIVE AND QUAINT BELIEF IN ELECTIONS IS TOUCHING, AFTER 2020:  Lindsey Graham: “I don’t know how Kamala Harris doesn’t get impeached” If Republicans Retake House in 2022.

SO, LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE THE OCCUPYING JUNTA DOES?  Biden’s climate ‘fix’ is fantastically expensive and perfectly useless-Bjorn Lomborg.

And oh, it’s only useless if you think its purpose is to fight anthropogenic global warming. climate change.  It’s very useful in reducing America and fulfilling the dreams of their Chinese masters. (Spoiler, it’s okay. They’re not getting away with it.)

I’VE BEEN SEEING THIS STUFF SINCE MY ADULT SONS WERE TODDLERS:  Creepy Children’s Climate Video: What if Humans Disappeared?

The left has a passion for suicide. But are too cowardly to just do it. Whenever they make projects like this, we should send everyone responsible a plastic bag and a rubber-band.

MAYBE.  BRIEFLY. AND THEN IT FLIPS:  Could American culture and society undergo “verzuiling” (pillarization, ‘silo-fication’)?

BILL CASSIDY SHOULD LAY OFF THE METH:  Louisiana Republican Senator Bill Cassidy Believes Trump’s MAGA Movement is Over – Boy Are They In For A Surprise.

MAGA didn’t start with Trump MAGA found Trump. And Trump isn’t done. For which the left should be thankful. If they really get rid of Trump, they won’t like what comes after.

AND SPEAKING OF MIRRORS:  The Left and the Mirror.

SO, WITHOUT NUMBER GAMES, IT WILL KILL AS MANY PEOPLE AS A BAD FLU SEASON?  Updates on CCP Virus: UK Study Finds New Variant May Be More Deadly.

Thanks muchly. The human species has survived worse.

WASTEFUL AND CRIMINALLY STUPID:  $32 Billion for Public Transit in COVID-19 Relief Bill Wasteful: Researcher.

This was not a real virus emergency. Had this been a real virus emergency, though, public transit systems would rapidly have become what’s known as “virus transmission centers.”  Well, in countries that use them. The US, by and large doesn’t, with notable exceptions like NYC where Billy the Red and Fredo’s Brother reduced the number of trains, so they could pack people in and maximize infections.

BECAUSE THEY DON’T OWN MIRRORS:  Tossing Hitler Around Like Candy.

SURE. DESTROYING UBER IS WHAT THEY INTEND:  The Democrats Just Reintroduced a Labor Law that Would Destroy Uber—And It Could Actually Pass This Time.

But the left doesn’t get — and probably never will — unintended consequences.  This will also kill most of the arts. HARD. And a lot of things like, people who read books to make audio books.
The left has this dream that they can take us, kicking and screaming to the 30s. the 1930s.  And they’re not going to let tech, reality or sanity stand in their way.
This is going to end badly. For them.

OR A SAD ONE, OR A RAGEY ONE:  Be A Happy Warrior.

Just don’t cower under the bed. Not if you care what comes after us.

HEY, NOW, I DIDN’T KNOW MY ANALYSIS OF THE CURRENT SITUATION HAD HISTORICAL PRECEDENTS!  The Thirty Tyrants.

Don’t tell dad I didn’t spot the parallel. He’d probably disown me. Or laugh at me.
Seriously, the next year or (tops) two are going to suck. But they’re going to suck far worse for them than for us. And in the end we win, they lose. Most of what they’ve done for the last year amounts to a messy, public suicide. They keep twisting the knife in their own guts, while thinking they’re hurting us.

PROOF POSITIVE THAT ALEXANDRIA OCCASIONAL CORTEX IS NOT THE STUPIDEST HUMAN BEING ALIVE: Yeah, I know, I was surprised too.

Here at Puppy Blending HeadquartersTM we have only two questions: a) What if we followed velvet instead? b) How does this man stay alive?  You’d think once having inhaled, he’d forget to exhale, right?

Exit stage right singing Knights in White Satin.

I COULDN’T LET VALENTINE’S DAY PASS: Without telling you this.  (And if you’re not a Jane Austen fan, relax. We geeks are giggling, but not at you.  And believe it or not this is not an insult.)

You must allow me to tell you how ardently I find you tolerable!

THERE’S NOTHING BETWEEN AMARILLO AND THE NORTH POLE BUT A BARBED-WIRE FENCE. AND THE BARBED-WIRE FENCE IS BLOWED DOWN. Justin Michaels Demonstrates Just How Cold it Is in Amarillo, TX.

Two eskimos are crossing the Arctic ice when one falls through. He freezes immediately, but his friend manages to pull him out and chip off the ice. After he’s warmed in an igloo, his first words are “I’ll bet it’s cold in Amarillo today.”

These jokes are decades old, but still work. . . .

PAUL MIRENGOFF: “The Lincoln Project was a fraud from its inception.”

Plus: “Those who founded the Lincoln Project had various motives. George Conway was a disappointed office seeker. He had wanted not just to serve Trump administration, but to be its Solicitor General — the man in charge of defending the administration’s legal positions on behalf of the government in the U.S. Supreme Court. Only after losing out on this bid, and maybe others, did he turn against Trump.”

Also: “I’m fairly confident that the Republican Party will have a reasonably bright post-Trump future. I’m quite confident that this future will not include the frauds and vicious grifters who spearheaded the Lincoln Project.”

CERTAINLY IF KAMALA HAS HER WAY:

Flashback:

I suspect that Trump would regard a 2020 loss as a setback, not a defeat. Grover Cleveland came back to win a second term after losing the White House, Trump might reason. Why not me?

Especially looking at the competition.
