“Do you think inflation will be a political liability ahead of the midterms?” Doocy shouted to the president as the press was being escorted out of an event.
“That’s a great asset, more inflation,” Biden scowled sarcastically. “What a stupid son of a b—-.”
Scary Joe- Biden heard calling a reporter a "stupid son of a bitch" after question about inflation.
Reporter: "Do you think inflation is a political liability in the midterms?" Biden: "It's a great asset — more inflation. What a stupid son of a bitch."
It’s on the White House website. The WH generally scrub their transcripts what they don’t like. So we know – they mean to reframe inflation as a “good” thing. They have so little respect for the American people and clearly even less for their ability to think, they think they can sell this poison.

This is a massive, massive scoop from @BillFOXLA. Biden’s resettling single adult male illegal aliens across the USA. In a healthy democracy, this scandal would be the biggest news story in country right now. But how much attention will it get from corporate-establishment media? https://t.co/uLFcDBDIgV
Democrat President Joe Biden’s administration finally released the December numbers for illegal border crossings along the U.S.-Mexico border, which showed a dramatic uptick compared to previous years.
“The number of unique individuals encountered in December 2021 was 135,040, a 5 percent increase in the number of unique individuals encountered the prior month,” U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said in a statement. “In total, there were 178,840 encounters along the Southwest land border in December, a 2 percent increase compared to November.”
The 178,840 illegal border crossings for December 2021 was higher than the December totals from 2020, 2019, and 2018 combined when there was a total of 175,353 illegal border crossings.
🚨🚨🚨
CBP FINALLY released December 2021 numbers for illegal crossings along the southern border: 178,840.
Mark Morgan, former acting CBP commissioner and Heritage visiting fellow, responded to the news in a statement, saying, “More than a year ago, even as Joe Biden was preparing to roll back President Donald Trump’s effective border security policies, he claimed he did not want to end up with ‘two million people on our border.’ After a year on the job, it’s undeniable that Biden has failed even by his own basic measure.”
“In 12 months, CBP recorded more than two million encounters along the southwest border, a shocking and historic number,” Morgan added. “But that number does not include an estimated 600,000 or more ‘got-aways,’ individuals who cross the border illegally but which Border Patrol is unable to detain. And then there are the ‘turn-backs,’ those who make an effort to cross the border but eventually give up and return to their country of origin. Under Biden, that number was around 400,000. Under Joe Biden, more than three million people have tried to violate America’s sovereignty and illegally enter our country. This is not only the worst border crisis in American history—it’s the worst 12 months for any president when it comes to border security.”
Former acting ICE director Tom Homan said during an interview accused Biden’s border policies to contributing to deaths along the southern border. Homan’s remarks came after a Texas Department of Public Safety officer was killed during a U.S. Border Patrol incident over the weekend.
“Prayers out to Special Agent Salas and his family, it’s always tragic to lose one of the finest,” he said. “But look, I’ve said it many times before: people want to beat up on President Trump, but his [Biden’s] immigration policies are inhumane. Let me be clear when President Trump pushed illegal immigration to a 35, 40 year low, depending on how much you look at illegal immigration… it was down 83%. That saves lives because the most vulnerable people will not make that journey if they know they won’t succeed.”
“And Joe Biden comes in office, destroys all his policies. And what’s the result? Under President Trump last year, there was a total of 254 migrants died crossing that border —the first year under President Biden, that is more than doubled to 557,” he added. “That’s a 119% increase… Add to that over 100,000 overdose deaths, most of it from fentanyl that the DEA says, ‘come across the border.’ Add to that 59 CBP officers who die from COVID because Joe Biden is ignoring Title 42 when it comes to hundreds of thousands of children and family groups to come across with COVID, that affects these agents. So let me tell you something, Joe Biden’s policies are not humane. It’s killing people at a huge rate – more than I’ve ever seen in my career.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) will withdraw a rule mandating that private businesses with more than 100 employees require that they be vaccinated against COVID-19 or undergo weekly testing against the virus.
OSHA will formally withdraw the rule on Wednesday, according to a document published Tuesday in an advanced version of the Federal Register. The rule, announced in November by President Joe Biden, was immediately challenged by several states and private companies, and the Supreme Court issued a stay on Jan. 13 while federal appeals courts consider its legality.
“After evaluating the Court’s decision, OSHA is withdrawing the Vaccination and Testing ETS as an enforceable emergency temporary standard,” the agency wrote in the Register.
The OSHA announcement was first reported by Bloomberg Law.
When he announced the rule, Biden argued that it would reduce the spread of COVID-19 by increasing the number of Americans who received vaccinations against the virus. Vaccines are less effective at reducing the spread of the newly-dominant Omicron variant, although they are still effective at preventing hospitalization and death.
“Some of the biggest companies are already requiring this,” Biden said in defending the rule. “United Airlines, Disney, Tyson food and even Fox News.”
However, OSHA suspended the rule’s enforcement in November, after the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a stay. It never went back into effect.
Other portions of the Biden administration’s vaccine mandate plan have also been held up. A federal judge in Texas issued an injunction on Friday preventing the government from mandating that all federal employees and contractors receive COVID-19 vaccines. The judge, Jeffrey Brown, ruled that Biden could not issue such a mandate “with the stroke of a pen and without the input of Congress.”
Several lower court judges also blocked the federal government’s vaccine mandate for healthcare workers whose employers receive Medicare and Medicaid funds. However, the Supreme Court ruled that that mandate can remain in effect while its legality is debated at lower courts.
“At this point, there is simply no question. The COVID shots are an abysmal failure in every way possible. Again and again, data analyses from around the world show a negative correlation between ‘vaccination’ rates and worsening infection rates and other health trends.” – Dr. Joseph Mercola, The Spectacular Failure of COVID Shots
British data show the COVID shots are an abysmal failure, as COVID infection rates in the U.K. are higher among the “fully vaccinated” in all adult cohorts.
Infection rates are also rising faster among the fully vaxxed than in unvaccinated cohorts of all ages. All in all, these data prove that vaccine passports and mandates are completely pointless.
Data from Scotland show more of the same. Double-jabbed Scots are more likely to be admitted to the hospital for COVID than unvaccinated. Since Omicron became dominant,
COVID case rates are also lower among the unvaccinated than among the single-double- and even triple-jabbed
Internationally, journalists are now starting to try to switch the narrative away from cases, hospitalizations and deaths by pointing out how unreliable these data are. What they don’t admit is that “dangerous misinformants” have highlighted these problems for two years already.
Omicron is blowing huge holes in the pandemic narrative, as it predominantly affects the vaxxed, thus proving mandates and vaccine passports are irrational and useless.
“Case rates have been lower in unvaccinated individuals than the single, double, or even triple jabbed since Omicron became the dominant variant in Scotland.”

Thousands of Americans gathered yesterday in Washington, D.C. to protest the federal government’s increasingly unreasonable COVID mandates. One year into President Joe Biden’s term, he has done the opposite of his promise to “shut down the virus, not the country.” Fatigue is a common symptom of COVID-19, but it’s a universal symptom of the ridiculous mask and vaccine mandates that have long outlived their prudence and propriety. As other countries prepare to move on with their lives, President Biden insists that Americans must remain in a prison of our own making.
Strangely, it’s Europe that is leading the way to freedom this time. On Wednesday, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson told the House of Commons that all the country’s COVID restrictions would end this upcoming Thursday. “We must learn to live with COVID in the same way we live with the flu,” added the health secretary. “They have realized that all of these policies that are aimed at slowing the spread of COVID have failed,” said Stanford Professor of Medicine Jay Bhattacharya on “Washington Watch.” COVID “spreads very rapidly despite our best efforts to keep people apart.” Citizens in Great Britain, Spain, and Portugal will once again have the freedom to make their own health decisions. For once, here’s a European trend the U.S. needs to imitate.
Nothing could be further from the contemplation of Biden’s mandarins. Biden failed to excite confidence when challenged in a rare press conference to explain the definition of “fully vaccinated.” Officially, two doses is considered sufficient, but some administration officials advise three doses. Biden sidestepped the question and replied, “every time I speak of it, I say, if you’ve been vaccinated, get your booster shot.” Bhattacharya explained he can’t easily answer that question because it has become “more than just a medical question.” Many cities and states have imposed vaccine mandates for employment and for patronizing restaurants, museums, and libraries. These “essentially make people that are not fully vaccinated second-class citizens,” he said. If the administration redefines “fully vaccinated” to include a booster shot, they create a huge number of second-class citizens with “the snap of a finger.” So it’s a calculation about how much tyrannical invasion of their daily lives the American people are willing to accept.
Underlying Americans’ skepticism of Biden’s vaccine push is the vaccine’s waning effectiveness — both over time and against new variants. “The protection that the booster provides against Omicron is less than the protection that it provided against Delta,” said Bhattacharya. A newly released CDC study from May to November found natural immunity outperforming vaccination alone “by early October,” even before the Omicron variant. It’s not just one study, said Bhattacharya. “The scientific evidence on this is absolutely overwhelming.” Yet the less effective the vaccine becomes, the more President Biden seeks to punish those who resist it.
“Tell people about the scientific evidence. Don’t use it to manipulate people,” Bhattacharya said. “Public trust, once lost, is almost impossible to get back. And public health relies on public trust.” Yet our public health agencies seem to prefer imitating the legacy media in crying “wolf” for a short-sighted advantage.
Meanwhile, “much of Europe is opening up,” said Bhattacharya. “The U.K. is leading the way. There’s no reason the United States shouldn’t be.” Vaccine and mask mandates are far greater violations of personal freedom than a tax on tea. “The right thing is to protect vulnerable people while letting people who are at low risk… just go on with their lives,” he said. The federal government insists people stop living to avoid dying, but that is a false choice Americans should reject.

Illegal immigration “consumes taxpayer money and burdens governmental services.”
We are very concerned about the influx of illegal aliens into the United State and especially to the state of Florida. The costs to Floridian is staggering and harms legal Florida residents dramatically.
A continually growing population of illegal aliens, along with the federal government’s ineffective efforts to secure our borders, present significant national security and public safety threats to the United States. They also have a severely negative impact on the nation’s taxpayers at the local, state, and national levels. Illegal immigration costs Americans billions of dollars each year. Illegal aliens are net consumers of taxpayer-funded services and the limited taxes paid by some segments of the illegal alien population are, in no way, significant enough to offset the growing financial burdens imposed on U.S. taxpayers by massive numbers of uninvited guests.
[ … ]
At the federal, state, and local levels, taxpayers shell out approximately $134.9 billion to cover the costs incurred by the presence of more than 12.5 million illegal aliens, and about 4.2 million citizen children of illegal aliens. That amounts to a tax burden of approximately $8,075 per illegal alien family member and a total of $115,894,597,664. The total cost of illegal immigration to U.S. taxpayers is both staggering and crippling. In 2013, FAIR estimated the total cost to be approximately $113 billion. So, in under four years, the cost has risen nearly $3 billion. This is a disturbing and unsustainable trend. The sections below will break down and further explain these numbers at the federal, state, and local levels.
“DeSantis is right to be concerned. Although illegal immigration poses many challenges, the increase in state expenditures is perhaps the most immediate one.
In a recent report for the Center for Immigration Studies, I calculated that Florida spent approximately $2 billion in 2019 on major health and education programs for the nearly 800,000 immigrants who lived in the state illegally before the recent surge.
[ … ]
Of course, assessing the impact of illegal immigration is not simply an accounting exercise. An uncontrolled border has legal, political, and cultural effects that go beyond dollars and cents.
Whatever one thinks of the way the U.S. selects legal immigrants, the process does at least follow the laws passed by Congress. Illegal immigration, by contrast, flouts those laws.”
By far the largest state expenditure on the U.S.- and foreign-born children of immigrants who came illegally is public schooling, which the state must provide regardless of a student’s immigration status.
Extrapolating from Florida’s per-pupil expenditures, educating the children of illegal immigrants cost state taxpayers $1.6 billion in 2019. This figure likely understates the true cost, as it does not reflect the special language training that children of people who came illegally disproportionately require.
Jason Richwine wars:
When President Biden opted to erode security at the border, he also eroded the right of Americans to decide who can and cannot enter their country. Until democratic control over immigration policy is restored, Floridians – and, indeed, all Americans – will continue to pay the price.

Six in 10 Americans would vote for someone other than President Biden if the 2024 presidential election was held today — a rate higher than his predecessors Barack Obama and Donald Trump, according to a poll released Sunday.
Asked if the election were held today, 60 percent said they would “probably” or “definitely” vote for someone else, compared to 36 percent who said they would “definitely” or “probably” re-elect Biden, the survey by Fox News shows.
Fifty-two percent said they would vote for someone other than Trump if it were February 2020, and 51 percent said they would select somebody other than Obama if it were August 2011.
The survey also shows the deep dissatisfaction Americans feel for Biden’s handling of the economy, the COVID-19 pandemic, border security and foreign policy.
Joe Biden.
Only 36 percent said they would “definitely” or “probably” re-elect President Biden.

The president’s job disapproval rating is at 52 percent, a slight rise from last month, but a 9 percentage point increase from April, while his approval rating is trending in the opposite direction — from a high of 56 percent in June to 47 percent in this poll.
Asked about Biden’s handling of the economy, 58 percent to 41 percent disapprove. When it comes to the COVID-19 pandemic, 52 percent to 46 percent disapprove; 59 percent to 37 percent disapprove of his handling of border security; and 54 percent to 41 percent disapprove of his handling of foreign policy.

As bad as Biden’s approval ratings are, Vice President Kamala Harris’ are worse.
The survey found that 54 percent of Americans disapprove of the job she is doing, and only 43 percent approve.
In June, her approval rating was at 50 percent and her disapproval rating was 47 percent.
Vice President Kamala Harris’ approval ratings are even worse than President Biden’s.
But the overall discontent with the Biden administration doesn’t translate into a significant advantage for congressional Republicans in the 2022 midterm elections.
Forty-four percent said they would vote for the Republican candidate if the election were held today, compared to 43 percent who would go with the Democratic candidate.
Republicans get high marks from voters on their ability to deal with taxes, the federal budget deficit, immigration, crime, and the economy, while Democrats get good grades on climate change, racism, health care, the pandemic and education.
Barack Obama.
Some 51 percent said they would select somebody other than former President Barack Obama if it were August 2011.
But most Americans — 85 percent — said their top concern was inflation and higher prices, above all other issues.
Concerns over high crime came came in second with 81 percent, followed by political divisions at 78 percent, the coronavirus pandemic at 72 percent, North Korean missile tests at 68 percent, the standoff between Ukraine and Russia at 62 percent, migrants at the southern border at 59 percent, voter suppression at 58 percent and voter fraud at 53 percent.
Forty-three percent of Americans believe inflation and high prices will still be plaguing the nation for “more than a year,” while 44 percent think coronavirus will continue to be a major issue for “more than a year.”
Donald Trump.
The poll shows 48 percent blame the federal government’s policies for inflation. Forty-two percent say it’s the result of coronavirus and 9 percent blame both equally.
The poll surveyed 1,001 registered voters between Jan. 16-19.
It has a plus/minus 3 percentage points margin of error.

The Democrats are plunging Americans into poverty, wiping out our savings concurrent with staggering inflation. Once people have nothing left to lose, the country will descend into violence and revolution which I suspect is exactly what the Democrats want in order to impose emergency legislation to abolish constitutional protections and pave the way for dictatorship. Just like the Nazis used the Reichstag fire.
U.S. stocks fell Monday following the S&P 500′s worst week since March 2020, as investors awaited more corporate earnings results and a key policy decision from the Federal Reserve.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost about 830 points, or 2.4%, falling for a seventh straight day. At its lows of the day, the blue-chip index lost about 1,115 points. The S&P 500 shed 2.9%. The benchmark is down more than 11% from its intraday high. The Nasdaq Composite declined 3.3%, falling deeper into correction territory.
The market action Monday followed a brutal week on Wall Street in the face of mixed company earnings and worries about rising interest rates.
Monday’s pullback put the S&P 500 down more than 10% this month, on pace for its worst monthly decline since March 2020 and worst January performance ever. The Dow was also headed for its biggest one-month loss since March 2020, falling nearly 8%. The Nasdaq, meanwhile, has dropped about 15% in January and is on pace for its worst month since October 2008 — when it plunged 17.7%.
The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), known on Wall Street as the market’s “fear gauge,” hit its highest level since November 2020, surpassing the 38 level at its intraday highs.
The fourth-quarter earnings season has been a mixed bag. While more than 74% of S&P 500 companies that have reported results have topped Wall Street estimates, a couple of key firms let down investors last week, including Goldman Sachs and Netflix.
“What had initially been a stimulus withdrawal-driven decline morphed last week to include earnings jitters,” Adam Crisafulli, founder of Vital Knowledge, said in a note. “So investors are now worried not just about the multiple placed on earnings, but the EPS (earnings-per-share) forecasts themselves.”
Investors are anticipating a slew of high-stakes earnings reports from mega-cap tech companies this week. Microsoft fell 3.7%, Apple lost 3.2% and Tesla pulled back 7% ahead of the quarterly reports.
Only 8 stocks in the S&P 500 traded in positive territory Monday.
Riskier assets are selling off this year as investors brace for the Fed to tighten monetary policy. Bitcoin dropped more than 8% over the weekend, wiping out nearly half of its value at its record high reached in November. The price fell another roughly 4% Monday morning below $34,000, before making up losses.
Investors are eyeing the Fed’s policy meeting, which wraps up on Wednesday. Market participants will be looking for any signals on how much the central bank will raise interest rates this year and when it will start.
The Federal Open Market Committee, which sets interest rates, meets with expectations that it won’t act at this meeting but will tee up the first of multiple rate hikes starting in March. In addition, the Fed is expected to wrap up its monthly asset purchase program that same month.
At his post-meeting news conference, Chairman Jerome Powell also could signal when the Fed will start to unwind its mammoth balance sheet.
Goldman Sachs said over the weekend that it sees risks rising that the Fed could enact even more than the four quarter-percentage-point hikes that the market has priced in for this year. The firm also said the Fed might start running off the nearly $9 trillion in assets it is holding in July.

As most know, there’s a contentious debate over whether it’s fair to let men who claim they’re female compete in women’s sports. It’s a debate driven more by emotion than reason, as so many things are.
If a fellow claiming female status trounces woman athletes in a fairly high profile competition — as University of Pennsylvania swimmer “Lia” Thomas (birth name “Will”) did recently — the story makes headlines and raises ire; if such a man falters, as Thomas did quite suspiciously and conveniently even more recently, the story disappears. And each side in the debate often claims vindication based on the most recent result. Yet there is a way to definitively and irrefutably (within the realm of reason) prove that one side is correct.
Sports governing bodies will generally say that a man claiming a Made-up Sexual Status (MUSS or, to use the misnomer, “transgender identity”) may compete with women if he reduces his testosterone levels to the normal female range and maintains this hormonal profile for a certain period of time, perhaps a year, prior to competition. This standard is based on the presupposition that current and recent levels of testosterone — the main male sex hormone and a “naturally occurring steroid” (performance enhancing substance) — constitute the only factor determining whether a man enjoys an athletic advantage.
Now, the number of MUSS men competing in women’s sports is perhaps too small to provide a scientifically meaningful set of data with which to test this hypothesis. Yet it still can be tested because there actually is a trove of data on the relative athletic performances of males and females with identical hormonal profiles. These people are called children.
As MedPage Today wrote last July reporting on a study, “Between the ages of 6 and 10, youths saw similar testosterone levels regardless of sex.” (Prepubescent boys and girls also both have low levels of estrogen.) Consequently, if the MUSS agenda testosterone-suppression theory is correct, young lads should not surpass their female age-mates in sports. But what do the data say?
Examining 10-and-under national records in the aforementioned Thomas’s sport, swimming, reveals that in every case but one, the boys’ individual times are faster. Admittedly, the gap is generally quite narrow at such ages — especially in swimming, which may have the smallest intersex performance disparity of any “physical” sport (e.g., not auto racing or target shooting). But it’s consistently there.
Some may point out here that the average age at which boys enter puberty is now 10 (yes, really; the age has been dropping) and that this may confuse the matter a bit. Yet reviewing eight-and-under swimming records, in this case from the Southern Arizona Aquatic Association, reveals a similar picture: The boys’ individual records are faster in every instance.
The story is the same with 10-and-under and 8-and-under track and field records, though the gap is somewhat greater. Despite prepubescent boys and girls having the same testosterone levels, the boys’ records are better without exception.
Prepubescent boys also have something interesting in common with MUSS men who’ve suppressed their testosterone production: Their bodies once produced high levels of the hormone — in young lads’ case in the womb — but do so no longer. But there’s a difference, too: A MUSS man might have lived with corresponding female-range testosterone levels for a year or less.
Eight-year-old boy athletes have lived with those levels for eight years.
Yet they still outperform their eight-year-old female counterparts. They obviously enjoy advantages either, A, relating to permanent changes induced by earlier testosterone exposure (pelvis width, etc.); and/or, B, relating to less well known qualities bestowed by the male genotype (XY).
Given this, is it even remotely reasonable claiming that grown, low-T MUSS men don’t have an athletic advantage over their female counterparts?
There’s still more to consider. Relative to the two groups’ respective female counterparts, prepubescent boys lack some advantages that MUSS men enjoy and have some disadvantages MUSS men don’t. For example, not having experienced male adolescence — including exposure to high testosterone levels for those many years — they never developed the associated musculature and skeletal size, the latter of which changes not a whit with testosterone reduction. Moreover, since girls enter puberty approximately two years earlier and thus begin developing sooner, boys are generally shorter and slightly lighter than they are by middle childhood’s end.
Nonetheless, there’s still an athletic performance gap between the two groups, favoring the boys.
Given this, does it not follow that an intersex sports performance gap favoring MUSS men over women would not only exist, but be even greater?
Conclusion: Testosterone suppression surely does rob a male athlete of much of his sex-bestowed advantage. Yet it’s clear that it doesn’t rob him of all such advantages.
None of this will matter to emotion-driven people so in thrall to the sexual devolutionary agenda that rationality will seem risible. But to those who’ll yield to reason, it closes the case on the question of MUSS men in women’s sports perhaps as well as Columbo ever could.

1) 2021 ‘hottest year’ BUST: NASA GISS, UK Met Office, RSS, UAH, all show global temps declining since 2016 – 2021 an ‘imperceptible 0.134C warmer than the 30-year average’
Flashback: Here we go again! Media hypes alleged ‘Hottest year’ declarations – Book excerpt– MIT climate scientist Dr. Richard Lindzen: “If you can adjust temperatures to 2/10ths of a degree, it means it wasn’t certain to 2/10ths of a degree.” – “We’re talking about less than a tenth of degree with an uncertainty of about a quarter of a degree. Moreover, such small fluctuations—even if real—don’t change the fact that the trend for the past 20 years has been much less than models have predicted.”
Bjorn Lomborg: “Hurricanes in 2021 were unprecedented — as in unprecedentedly few. Globally, 2021 had the fewest hurricanes ever in the satellite era (1980-2021). Globally, 2021 had some of the fewest strong hurricanes in the satellite era (1980-2021). With 16 strong (Cat 3+) hurricanes, 2021 was the second-lowest strong hurricane year since 1980. Globally, 2021 was a weak hurricane year. When measured by total energy (Accumulated Cyclone Energy), 2021 was the 9th weakest year. Did you see that reported anywhere?
Hurricanes in 2021 were weak and exceptionally few. But we heard lots about North Atlantic hurricanes. Conveniently, North Atlantic is the only basin where hurricanes are stronger. Does this leave us well-informed?. But we hear lots about names storms (hurricanes + weaker storms). Ever-easier to detect, so numbers keep climbing (4 of 2020s 30 named storms wouldn’t have been named in 2000!). Not as relevant, but hey, scary numbers.”
As the world is far off-track on limiting global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels, Guterres urged all governments to strengthen their climate action plans under the Paris Agreement, “until they collectively deliver the 45 per cent emissions reduction target.” This means “no new coal plants. No expansion in oil and gas exploration,” he said.
U.N. chief Antonio Guterres: “We must rescue the Agenda 2030.” … Meanwhile, the climate crisis is fueling conflict and escalating humanitarian crises. … At the same time, every country must strengthen their Nationally Determined Contributions until they collectively deliver the 45 per cent emissions reduction needed by 2030. … Every sector and every industry, including shipping and aviation, must be on a trajectory to reach net zero emissions by 2050. Wealthier countries must finally make good on the $100 billion climate finance commitment to developing countries, starting in 2022.”
“Trust me. I am not a doctor, But I play one on TV.” — A doctor in British Columbia, Canada, made waves by becoming the first doctor to ever diagnose a patient as suffering from “climate change.” Is this the beginning of a climate change health epidemic? Learn more on this episode of the Morano Minute.
New Yorker claims air conditioners are the culprits “of our unfolding climate catastrophe.”
Rebuttal: The “notion that refrigeration is contributing to a ‘climate catastrophe’ is preposterous,” Steve Milloy of JunkScience.com noted. He also pointed out that the leftist “war against refrigeration” goes all the way back to the 1970s. The “war” has since resurfaced under President Joe Biden’s push for ratification of the radical Kigali Amendment, which seeks to phase out HFCs on a global scale to fight climate change.
CBS’s Nate Burleson ties the underwater volcanic eruption and 50-foot-high tsunami in Tonga to climate change: “We talk about climate change quite a bit. These stories are a harsh reality of what we’re going through and we have to do our part because these are more frequent.” …And, when called out, he denied having said something untrue and may have copy-pasted the first result from Google Images of “volcano climate change.”
TOM CHIVERS: “The world’s population has exploded: in 1800, there were about 1 billion humans. In 1950, there were 2.5 billion. Now there are 7.7 billion. In my parents’ lifetime, the number of humans alive has trebled. But amazingly, the amount of material available to each of them has increased even more, and that is in large part because of our use of fossil fuels. In 1800, almost all the energy used globally was in the form of human and animal muscles, for mechanical work, or plant matter, burned for heat and light. Coal, the first widely used fossil fuel, was just starting to be used in steam engines in the UK, but it was negligible overall. By 1900, fossil fuels were the source for half our energy. By 2000, they were the source of 87%. …
And as a result, our lives have been transformed. The amount of energy available to the world has increased 1,500-fold. That is only part of the story, though: increased energy efficiency means that the gain in useful energy is more like 3,500 times. And even though the world’s population has gone up many times, “an average inhabitant of the Earth nowadays has at their disposal nearly 700 times more useful energy than their ancestors had at the beginning of the 19th century”.

Many thanks to Laser List member Jeff Walyus for this fantastic rhetorical approach. I have found it enormously helpful on many occasions.
The truth about liberal policies is that they hurt people. Let’s look at just the latest examples.
The New York Times made an astounding admission in November. Democrats run the show in Illinois, California, and New York, and have for decades, but blue states are doing worse than red states in many key respects: lack of affordable housing, disparities in education funding, rising economic inequality – all things liberals and Democrats profess to care about and for which they claim to have all the answers. The New York Times was brutal in its assessment of blue state results:
… blue states are the problem. Blue states are where the housing crisis is located. Blue states are where the disparities in education funding are the most dramatic. Blue states are the places where tens of thousands of homeless people are living on the streets. Blue states are the places where economic inequality is increasing most quickly in this country. This is not a problem of not doing well enough. It is a situation where blue states are the problem.
Let’s take a closer look at one of those blue states, Washington, out on the Left Coast. America’s schools are following in the footsteps of Seattle to indoctrinate students on racial equity. But Seattle’s efforts to teach racial equity and ethnic studies have been marked by animus, lies, and worsening results. Academic achievement as measured by state test scores went down after instruction on “power and oppression” was emphasized over math in 2018. Pass rates for whites and blacks both dropped. The response of the schools? More ethnic studies and less math. Despite having equity programs for decades, Seattle schools had one of the worst black-white student achievement gaps in the nation, as of 2017. Liberal policies did not make things better. They made them worse.
Another admission comes from a liberal book author who worked on progressive causes in San Francisco. Like other west coast cities, San Francisco adopted policies that enabled homelessness, drug dealing, and crime. All the problems he set about to solve got worse, instead. He pins the blame on the liberal mindset that labels people victims and makes excuses for their destructive behavior. San Francisco is where Walgreens closed 15 stores because shoplifting there is so bad and the penalties for it have been reduced. Do you suppose the people who walked to those stores for their prescriptions are better off now?
Liberals have pushed Child Tax Credits, food stamps, and super-sized Obamacare subsidies, but a recent report shows people can make more from these programs than from work. These programs disincentivize work and allow people to stay home and not return to the work force. Maybe, if you’re a Democrat politician, you like the idea of making people more dependent on government and, thus, on you. But any normal person can see this is not a healthy development and it’s unsustainable.
Democrats want to massively increase federal spending on transportation which they view as systemically racist. But more mass transit and fewer cars will hurt the poor. A study found that cars provide urban households with better access to jobs and economic opportunities than other forms of transportation. Cars reduce neighborhood poverty exposure by 3 to 4 percent.
Liberals love the teachers unions, but collective bargaining agreements for teachers produce worse outcomes for students, especially minority students. Liberals also love rent control, but it’s well-known rent control produces housing shortages because it destroys the incentive to build new housing.
Rising homelessness. Out-of-control shoplifting. Worse educational outcomes. Fewer economic opportunities. Not only do liberal policies not work, they actually hurt people. In their impulse to make a perfect world and end all human suffering, liberals end up making things worse. This is why you should not support them, no matter how good they make things sound. They might be good at dazzling rhetoric, but they’re terrible at good governance. Which would you rather have?

“Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.” – Victor Hugo
It’s time for a little laughter given the bleak winter of 2022 and the Biden presidency. What we didn’t expect is that a liberal media group would bring that laughter to us. Call it “sun in spades”, or for our French speaking readers soleil à la pelle, no pun intended.
MeidasTouch is a liberal PAC that was founded in March of 2020 by Ben, Brett and Jordan Meiselas with the purpose of stopping the reelection of Donald J. Trump.
MeidasTouch’s slogan is “Because Truth Is Golden.” Ironic isn’t it.
MeidasTouch decided to do a political ad favoring Biden and titled it “Let’s Go Brandon.” Watch:
The problem, after you stopped laughing while watching the ad, is that Biden and his administration have either failed in getting their agenda passed, e.g. Green New Deal, federalizing elections, or have failed to accomplish their agenda when passed, e.g. the Infrastructure Bill which does little for infrastructure and is biased in its funding to blue over red states like Florida.
Yes, the claims it makes are, without exception, dumb and baseless. And yes, it looks absolutely horrific; as Ben Dreyfuss put it on Twitter, “This ad looks like it was made on their phone at 3am by someone drunk in an Uber on their way home.” Bingo.
Those facts are bad enough and would make the ad well worth laughing at. But, even more ridiculously and hilariously, someone thought that bringing up the “Brandon” thing in a pro-Biden ad was a good idea!
Yeah, that’s right. They used “Brandon” as an acronym to try to list out Brandon’s accomplishments, none of with are actually real and almost all of which aren’t exactly the issues Americans care about.
We all know that the symbol of the Democrat Party is a jackass, which is funny enough. But MeidasTouch using Let’s Go Brandon in a pro-Biden political ad takes the proverbial cake.

The irony should not be lost on us that a trigger warning is required for an article written for adults about what their kids are watching on the internet. But in the age of social media and trans mass hysteria, this is where we find ourselves.
A brilliant documentary called “The Call is Coming From Inside the House; The Great Awokening” was posted on YouTube on January 16th 2022. Within a few days, it accrued thousands of views. It features extensive footage which has been publicly posted on social media promoting trans identities and trans surgeries, much of which is highly graphic and disturbing.
This documentary compares the recent explosion of trans-identification among our youth to mass hysterias of the past such as the “dancing plague” of the middle ages, and the hysteria of the Salem witch trials, and lays the blame squarely at the feet of social media.
It begins with a general discussion about online social contagion phenomena. During the Covid pandemic, epidemics of Tourette’s-like tics, and of teens claiming to be suffering from multiple personality disorder, bipolar disorder and many other mental health disorders have come to the attention of concerned medical professionals. There is plenty of footage of teens explaining their self diagnosed conditions on social media in the first part of the documentary.
It has been well recognized for some time that eating disorders can be socially contagious, and there is confronting footage documenting teens posting images online of their cachectic bodies and bullying each other to lose weight.
We parents of transidentifying kids have been shouting from the rooftops for some years about the social contagion that is behind the explosion in numbers. However most health professionals are still refusing to acknowledge this, despite the recent awareness of all these similar socially contagious online phenomena.
The documentary features arresting footage of teens on social media talking about their diverse gender identities and their unique pronouns. Disturbingly there is even one teen claiming to have multiple personality disorder, and explaining that because most of her “alters” are trans, she is going to transition, despite the fact that she is not trans and does not wish to do so.
We then move on to cover trans surgeries, and this is where the trigger warning really cuts in. Graphic images of girls as young as 13, posing topless to show off the scars from their “top surgery” – cosmetic double mastectomies – are genuinely shocking, even to us parents, who have been hardened by our exposure to the trans movement.
There are images of smiling surgeons posing with their young patients, and advertising directly on social media to these adolescents to drum up more business for their grisly trade. One photogenic blonde surgeon is shown smiling approvingly as a young trans-identified woman reels off a list of slang terms used for breast amputation including “divest the chest”, “arrest the breast” and “get riddy that tiddy”. Several surgeons then assure your teen that surgery can be personalized in whatever way is “most affirming” including the complete removal of the nipples, or shaping of nipples into “a Christmas tree, or the Star of David”, or whatever other shape is desired.
Teens are informed by influencers that these surgeries are “customizable” and that they can choose to keep or dispose of any body part as desired. Various possible mindboggling configurations of genitalia are described. Surgeons are then depicted explaining “nullification”, which involves a male who does not “identify with his genitalia” having them completely amputated, leaving only smooth skin. (Gender mapper has documented that this surgery may be available to boys as young as 17.
Next there is a discussion and graphic images of “phalloplasty”, a procedure which attempts to construct a phallus for trans-identified females by removing a chunk of flesh from the forearm, rolling it up, and attaching it to the groin. The complication rate is sky-high and the financial cost astronomical.
An apt analogy is next drawn between transgender surgery and the “lobotomy craze” of the 1950s, which left thousands of patients permanently harmed by the time it petered out.
Finally there is a discussion of regret, with interviews with numerous young people explaining how they had no idea what they were getting into, the pressure to rush into irreversible surgeries, and their profound regrets about what they have done to their bodies.
I caution anyone who chooses to watch this documentary to use their discretion. It is truly shocking – but it is what our kids are freely able to access online. Every parent should watch it if they feel able. However there should be no discretion for any politician, journalist, health professional or teacher who is pushing this harmful, abusive ideology to our children. Any who wish to utter one more word about “acceptance and inclusion”, and about how “affirming” medical transition is, should be forced to watch this documentary and imagine their own daughters walking around their homes, topless, sporting flat, scarred chests.
To close, I will describe the two images which, among all this surreal horror, had the biggest effect on me. One shows a smiling young woman posing topless with her surgeon to show off her mastectomy result – multiple self harm scars are clearly visible on her arms and abdomen. The other is a short video of a young woman, also topless with fresh mastectomy scars and missing nipples, explaining in an agitated manner how she is getting “phantom nipple pain” and pleading with whoever has “gotten hold of my nipples and is pinching them to stop the “sick game”. There are no words to describe a society which allows healthy body parts to be removed from young people who are clearly in such severe mental distress.
How have we come to this?

The Left is trying to destroy traditional America. Rational Americans must come out in droves in 2022 and 2024 to take down the Left or we will lose this country forever.
The American way of life depends on us stopping this effort to destroy the family. Parents are at the center of raising the next generation to maintain our Republic. https://t.co/NE0YjS5ktQ
There’s your bright red line, people. Terry McAuliffe said that parents have no business passing judgment on what their kids are taught at school. This is what so many on the Left believe: that it is their role to liberate children from the troglodytic beliefs of their parents.
They want our kids for themselves. Don’t you get it?
I think this fall, Republican candidates should just run this MSNBC clip over and over, and at the end, just add the slogan: “Had enough? Vote Republican.”
UPDATE: Hello all, I had to spend all the afternoon and evening traveling, and I only just got Internet. I have learned that this Melissa Harris-Perry spot is from 2013. Obviously it might not represent what she thinks today, so I apologize to her if by quoting it, I falsely represented her views today. The clip was massively shared on Twitter yesterday, and it’s worth considering why it sounded plausible and current: because we are watching right now, in real time, in suburban Virginia and elsewhere, the educational establishment — the progressive wing at least, but perhaps I’m being redundant — behave as if they believe that MHP spoke the truth.
Still, I wish I had known this was a 2013 clip. I still would have cited it, because I believe it shows what many on the Left really do believe about kids and parents, but I would have specified its date.
Quick note: Tech giants are shutting us down. You know this. Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Adsense, Pinterest permanently banned us. Facebook, Google search et al have shadow-banned, suspended and deleted us from your news feeds. They are disappearing us. But we are here. We will not waver. We will not tire. We will not falter, and we will not fail. Freedom will prevail.
