Over the past month, the omicron variant has spread around the world with astonishing speed, even among people who are vaccinated or who had recovered from previous infections. On Thursday, the United States surpassed 580,000 cases, be... read more

THOSE POLL NUMBERS ON ANTI-GOVERNMENT VIOLENCE ARE (SOMEWHAT) LESS ALARMING THAN THEY SEEM
Some results from this *Washington Post* poll are getting a lot of attention: The percentage of Americans who say violent action against the government is justified at times stands at 34 percent, which is considerably higher than in past polls by The Post or other major news organizations dating back more than two decades. Again, the view is partisan: The new survey finds 40 percent of Republicans, 41 percent of independents and 23 percent of Democrats saying violence is sometimes justified. The view is partisan, but a lot more Republicans share it. As noted, this question has bee... read more

Pentagon Fails Audit (Again!)
That’s what should have been the biggest news of 2021. Instead, the story, which broke on November 17, was largely ignored or buried. The nation’s two main newspapers, the Washington Post and the New York Times, have simply ignored it. Other news organizations stenographically quoted Pentagon officials as admitting that they “failed again” but saw “progress,” and as promising that they would achieve a “clean” audit by… get this … 2027.

Antifascists Call For Mobilization In Chicago Against Neo-Nazis
Antifascists in Chicago have issued a call for a community mobilization against the neo-Nazi group, Patriot Front, who has stated that they plan to rally alongside the March for Life anti-choice demonstration on January 8th. Patriot Front is the same group that is behind a wave of racist and anti-Semitic attacks and vandalism across the US, but is perhaps best known for its role in the murder of Heather Heyer in Charlottesville in 2017, when the group was called Vanguard America.

Fifteen Things Biodiversity Protectors Are Watching Out For In 2022
It’s no secret that the diversity of life around us is plummeting fast. In 2020 alone, scientists declared more than 100 species to be extinct. And that’s bad news not only for the creatures themselves, but for those of us (that would be all of us) who rely on them for food, to produce oxygen, to hold soil in place, to cleanse water, to beautify our world and so much more. According to the World Economic Forum, nature plays a key role in generating more than half of global GDP. So, what can we do to reduce future harm? One big thing is to identify emerging threats and opportunitie... read more

Texas Team Applauded For Giving What Big Pharma Refuses
A small team of Texas researchers is being hailed for developing an unpatented Covid-19 vaccine to share with the world without personal profit, with some advocates asking, if they can do it, why can't Big Pharma? Dubbed "the World's Covid vaccine," the inoculation—formally called Cobervax—is an open-source alternative to Big Pharma's patent-protected vaccines. Instead of being produced for profit, this shot could ultimately be manufactured around the world and made cheaply available to all without governmental or private legal retribution.

Letting Go of Afghanistan: Presidents Biden and Trump Were Right
*Barry R. Posen* *Afghanistan, Eurasia* The carnival of recrimination that erupted since the collapse of the Afghan government serves mainly to cover the tracks of years of U.S. mistakes and set the stage for future misguided interventions. THE U.S.-LED aerial evacuation of Western officials, citizens, and local partners from Kabul formed the denouement of a poorly conceived, incompetently managed, and historically futile project to turn Afghanistan into a self-sufficient, liberal, and unified country. Despite the fundamental flaws in U.S. policy over the last twenty years, newsp... read more

The Flags We Fly: Why Iranian Athletics Have Chosen Values Over Success
*Hassan Nayebagha* *Iran, Middle East* Self-exile ended the careers of many Iranian athletes, but the best among them realized that their values were more important to their legacy than their competitive accomplishments. When humans gather for a common cause, there is generally a flag to represent whatever has brought them together. Ironically, though, this is not the case when the thing that brings them together is humanity itself. This leads me to wonder whether flags are really about unity, or if they have more to do with dividing one group against another. In the five-ring b... read more

*Alex Hollings* *U.S. Military, United States* In all, the X-15 made 199 successful flights, forever changing how the United States saw high-speed aviation. In 1967, William “Pete” Knight made history at the stick of his North American X-15A-2 rocket-powered aircraft when he reached a speed of Mach 6.7, or around 5,140 miles per hour, at an altitude of some 102,000 feet.

Everyone who's freaking out about wokeness and identity politics can relax. Liberals are 100 percent certain to get bored with that schtick and forget all about it without having helped a single member of any minority or marginalized group. Ask the immigrants and the kids in cages. read more

Nasdaq's 'diversity' mistake
NY Post: A group of Republican-led states slammed Nasdaq’s implementation of a diversity disclosure rule for corporate boards this week, arguing in a court filing that the requirement is illegal and unconstitutional. The states outlined their position in a legal brief supporting a lawsuit in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, which seeks to block the rule. In the filing, the GOP administrations argued that Nasdaq rule “violates both the Constitution and exceeds the SEC and Nasdaq’s statutory authority.” “It is unconscionable to see discrimination so blatantly put on display by ... read more

While it is common for a number of different phenomena to be seen in direct relationship with the UFO phenomenon, it is nonetheless surprising, when it comes to disc... read more

Americans oppose the Biden mandates
Red States: ... A new Zogby poll is going to make their (Democrats') chances look even worse. It shows that likely voters have turned overwhelmingly against government mandates: 53 percent prefer personal choice over 37 percent who prefer government mandates. For Democrats, one-third (33%) favor personal choice, as do a super-majority (72%) of Republicans and 55% of Independents. Also, 55% of those with college degrees and most age cohorts (except 65+) believe in personal choice of government mandates. The poll also asked if it was “right or wrong to disobey mandates from the ... read more
"For The Most Part..."
"Human beings never think for themselves, they find it too uncomfortable. For the most part, members of our species simply repeat what they are told- and become upset if they are exposed to any different view. The characteristic human trait is not awareness but conformity, and the characteristic result is religious warfare. Other animals fight for territory or food; but, uniquely in the animal kingdom, human beings fight for their 'beliefs.' The reason is that beliefs guide behavior, which has evolutionary importance among human beings. But at a time when our behavior may well lead... read more

NY Times attacks Trump supporting Doc running for senate
Newsmax: Dr. Mehmet Oz has been one of America’s most respected medical doctors and a celebrated on-air physician – until he announced his candidacy as a Republican for U.S. Senate. This past November, Oz announced he was quitting his highly-rated TV show to run for Senate in Pennsylvania as he openly praised his long-time friend Donald Trump. For doing so, he has also become an instant target of big media. Last week, the Times led with a page one story “*‘Magic’ Weight-Loss Pills and Covid Cures: Dr. Oz Under the Microscope,” *accusing the heart surgeon of having a “long histo... read more

"Acceptance..."
"Acceptance is a crucial step forward for those who prefer the idea of living this life over simply existing within it. Accept all that you've said and what you've done, because you cannot change your past. Accept the idea of the unknown, because the future is the unknown waiting patiently to reveal itself. Accept the person you have become thus far in your journey, because you are the only person who will be there with you when you finish it. Do all of this so that you may never find yourself having to accept regret that haunts you at two a.m., leaving you sweaty and broken hearted... read more
The Poet: Anne Sexton, "Courage"
*"Courage"* "It is in the small things we see it. The child's first step, as awesome as an earthquake. The first time you rode a bike, wallowing up the sidewalk. The first spanking when your heart went on a journey all alone. When they called you crybaby or poor or fatty or crazy and made you into an alien, you drank their acid and concealed it. Later, if you faced the death of bombs and bullets you did not do it with a banner, you did it with only a hat to cover your heart. You did not fondle the weakness inside you though it was there. Your courage was a small coal that you kept swallo... read more

America’s Malaise and its ‘Failure of National Purpose’ – ‘Things Are Not Getting Better’
Does Biden have a choice? Can he acquiesce to a negotiated settlement with all three of America’s self-defined adversaries: Russia, China and Iran? Former thrice-time U.S. Presidential candidate and now political commentator, Pat Buchanan, writes: The present mood of America at Christmas 2021 seems better captured by Jimmy Carter in his ‘malaise speech’ in July … Continue reading America’s Malaise and its ‘Failure of National Purpose’ – ‘Things Are Not Getting Better’ → read more

Left's denial of reality exposed
Ben Shapiro: So once it became clear that covid was not in fact a pagan god visiting vengeance on the unwashed Trump voters alone, the media and Democrats are now willing to admit the following: 1. Cloth masks are ineffective against omicron (Leanna Wen, CNN); 2. The vaccinated can spread and get covid; 3. The death rate is comparable to the flu (Chris Hayes); 4. Many people are entering hospitals with covid, not from covid (Fauci); 5. Natural immunity is a reason omicron hasn't been as virulent (Fauci); 6. We have to take into account societal needs, not just spread prevention (C... read more

Democrat prosecutors and their crime waves
*Sarah Westwood:* *How five liberal prosecutors presided over crime waves* Liberal prosecutors across the country have overseen significant crime waves in America's major cities this year — and have largely stood by their aggressive reforms. The district attorneys came into office vowing to address the inequality they say plagues much of the criminal justice system, to much fanfare from the Left. However, few have acknowledged the seeming link between their departure from the prosecutorial status quo and the rise in violence. ... There is much more. Voting for liberals has bee... read more

Kamala Harris is a bad politician
Charles Lipson: Vice President Kamala Harris has been quoted as saying her media coverage would be better if she were a white man. She is absolutely right. She wouldn’t have bad coverage. She wouldn’t have any coverage at all. That’s because she would still be a minor senator from a big state, not the second-highest official in the Executive Branch. She was selected only because she has the identity-politics markers so important to Democrats. It should be obvious by now that Harris is a terrible politician. When friendly reporters toss her softballs, she swings, misses and blames... read more

More polling bad news for Democrats
Craig Krishishian, Matt Towery: ... First off, when asked their opinion of Biden’s job performance as President, just 41 percent of Americans approved. Yes, that’s on par with Bush 43 and Jimmy Carter, and it skates near Trumps lower rungs of popularity. What should be alarming for our Democrat friends is that an NPR/Marist poll, conducted in a simultaneous time period, pegged Biden at 42 percent, while our colleagues at the Trafalgar Group had Biden at 40 percent. And, for what it’s worth, Nate Silver’s 538 rated Trafalgar and Insider Advantage amongst the very select few that... read more
