Of course, you already knew that.

Census charts the exodus from blue states
Power Line: The Census Bureau has just released the latest statistics on domestic migration and population change, and it is no surprise that the exodus from high-tax/high-crime blue states is becoming a stampede in the last year. Here are the charts: ... There is more. What is remarkable is the inability of the blue state politicians to change their policies which are driving the exodus. They just keep doing the things that lead people to want to leave. See, also: *Exclusive—Victor Davis Hanson: California Is a Confederate Society with ‘Sick Fixation’ on Race* read more
"The Free and the Brave"
*"The Free and the Brave"* by Todd Hayen "Whatever happened to that (the free and the brave)? Whatever happened to the attitude that had Patrick Henry at the Virginia convention in 1775 say “give me liberty, or give me death”? Whatever happened to the patriotic fervour and the uncanny commitment to face suffering and death that resulted in over two million young men volunteering for service in World War I, and five times that number volunteering to serve in World War II? Whatever happened to the ability to conquer fear and ride on the excitement for adventure and potential for imm... read more

Biden admits he can't shut down the virus
Hot Air: A few days ago the Washington Free Beacon honored his campaign pledge to “shut down the virus” as its Lie of the Year for 2021. After this clip, they might make it the Lie of the Decade. It takes a lot to turn a Democrat into a federalist but a raging pandemic that’s defied all attempts by a Democratic-controlled federal government to bring it to heel might do it.

This gets solved at a state level.” pic.twitter.com/ufg7qDXzQ0 — RealMac (@beingrealmac) December 27, 2021 Rewind to this past August, when Biden was calling... read more
The Real Thing
The moral authority of organized Christianity lies in tatters. With some of that religion's loudest adherents claiming that Donald Trump was anointed by God to re-order the world, who could find inspiration there? It was not always thus -- as the death of Desmond Tutu should remind us. South African journalist Redi Tlhabi writes: To understand Archbishop Tutu, we must return to the dark period of South African apartheid. Fear and despair hung like an albatross around our necks. It was a time of unprecedented bloodshed. The townships, where Black people lived, were on fire and the ... read more
"Stop and Assess"
*"Stop and Assess"* by Jim Kunstler "Reality is penetrating the fog and fury of propaganda spewed out over cable-TV news in what may be the last desperate full-out campaign to sell “vaccines” to the credulous. Omicron is a bust, despite the shrieking about overstuffed hospitals (they’re not) in The New York Times. Just as there is a crack-up boom in the final stage of a financial crisis, there is a climactic surge of hysteria in the Covid-19 war against Western Civ. Now, Dr. Anthony Fauci is pushing proof-of-vaxx for US air travel because, “[a] vaccine requirement for a person gett... read more

Weigh down and Way down--cult leader Gwen Shamblin
The New Year is always a time for resolving to lose the extra pounds packed on during the fall and holiday season. That said, I was only casually familiar with the Gwen Shamblin diet plan called "Weigh Down." [established in the late 80s] I have a vague memory of seeing her book [1997] about the diet plan on our church library shelves and maybe 20 years ago I believe there may have been a group of her followers/dieters at our church. Gwen, her husband, her son-in-law and some friends died in a plane crash in Tennessee in late May. It was completely off my radar (excuse the pu... read more

Russia senses Biden weakness and threatens NATO
Joel Gehrke: Russia will not drop a demand that NATO “be rolled back” to its 1997 boundaries, according to a senior Russian envoy, a requirement backed by the threat of “a large-scale conflict in Europe” arising out of Ukraine. “We are not bluffing,” Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said Monday, per state-run TASS. “These are our real proposals. The West’s awareness of this needs to be facilitated, and we are going to make every effort to achieve it.” Russian President Vladimir Putin has amassed military forces around Ukrainian borders, ostensibly due to the danger... read more

Covid vaccines are not meeting expectations
Washington Examiner: The COVID-19 vaccines are a remarkable medical innovation that may very well have saved tens of thousands of lives this past year. But let’s be clear: They are not doing what we were told they would do. When the vaccines were first made available in early 2021, the public was led to believe that inoculation would prevent infection and transmission. President Joe Biden argued last summer that “you’re not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations.” Dr. Anthony Fauci similarly declared on a Zoom call with TikTokers that if they got vaccinated, they would... read more
