PETER SCHIFF: The Transitory Inflation Ruse.
“It is certainly possible that we can finish 2021 with 10% CPI, which would rank it as bad as any of the years that we had during the 1970s.
Except 10% in 2021 is not 10% in 1971 or 1979 because this is not your grandfather’s CPI. This is a completely different CPI that is completely rigged and reverse engineered.
If we actually have 10% inflation, if we measured prices the way we did back in the 1970s, it’d probably be 15 or maybe 20% inflation.”

ROGER SIMON: Cuba, Iran, and the Shame of the United States.
If I hadn’t left the Democratic Party years ago, I would leave it now.
Their namby-pamby, lip-service reaction to the uprising of the Cuban people against 62 years of brutal communist oppression is shameful beyond words.
Apparently, the protests are a bit inconvenient for them. AOC might be embarrassed if they said or did anything, not to mention Bernie.
The Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas warned Cuban refugees not to come (while the border is open to practically everybody else, from Houthis to extra-terrestrials) put the capper on it.
The Coast Guard has evidently already been alerted not to allow this freedom-loving riff-riff on our shores. After all, some of them might vote Republican.
Cuban-born himself, Mayorkas’ behavior is not that far from the Jewish Kapos who kept order for the Nazis inside the concentration camps. What he’s done—no doubt on orders from above—is that repellent.
But the Democrats clearly had and have more important fish to fry, like prolonging the fiction that another freedom-oriented demonstration (Jan. 6), clumsy as it might have been, was a veritable “insurrection.” (The poor folks just somehow forgot to bring guns.)

Facing Reality: Two Truths about Race in America
The charges of white privilege and systemic racism that are tearing the country apart float free of reality.
Two known facts, long since documented beyond reasonable doubt, need to be brought into the open and incorporated into the way we think about public policy:
American whites, blacks, Hispanics, and Asians have different violent crime rates and different means and distributions of cognitive ability. The allegations of racism in policing, college admissions, segregation in housing, and hiring and promotions in the workplace ignore the ways in which the problems that prompt the allegations of systemic racism are driven by these two realities.

VOX ....
*sigh*
Sounds scary right? MILLIONS are vulnerable.
And a jetliner is A BIG PLANE.
But …
850 people fit on a jetliner.
3700 people die in a car accident, every day.
2400 people die of heart disease, every day.
1700 people die of cancer, every day.
There are 330 million Americans.
Look, we’re not belittling these deaths but the fear-mongering and constant panic-porn with COVID need to stop.
We have always been mortal and we always will be.

Supreme Court Justice Breyer Breaks His Silence on Retirement Plans
Democrats have been pinning their hopes on Justice Stephen Breyer retiring while they still have a majority in the Senate. Liberal groups have launched billboard campaigns pressuring the 82-year-old justice to call it quits, suggesting his “legacy” is at risk.
But Breyer crushed Democrats’ hopes when he told CNN in an exclusive interview that he has no plans to retire anytime soon and that he’s happy in his new role as the senior liberal on the bench. President Bill Clinton nominated Breyer in 1994.

It's not just a semantic quibble.
The fact that nobody has been charged with fomenting insurrection doesn't stop them from using the term.
That's because it's crucial to keep fear levels elevated to justify the full range of authoritarian measures they're undertaking in its name.

FBI NABS HUNTER BIDEN:
Well, not “nabs” in the since of an arrest, but a retired FBI analyst confirmed for Just the News that the signature on the Delaware computer repair shop receipt for Hunter Biden’s laptop is his, not a forgery.
And that makes the laptop quite possibly “the thing, you know, the thing” that will eventually be the end of His Fraudulency’s crime family.

The Dreaded Misery Index Is On The Rise Under Biden
Young adults today are likely unfamiliar with the term “misery index.” But they could soon learn about it the hard way, thanks to President Joe Biden’s economic incompetence.
The misery index, a measure started under President Lyndon Johnson, is a simple measure combining the unemployment rate and the inflation rate. The idea being that joblessness and a fast-rising cost of living produces palpable misery in the country.
The index has long been forgotten because it’s been so low for so long. It hit a high of 21.9 under Jimmy Carter way back in 1980, but by the end of President Reagan’s first term, it had been cut in half. The average under President Donald Trump was just 6.9.
The misery index spiked at the start of the COVID-19 lockdowns, jumping from 5.94 to over 15 in one month with the surge in unemployment. But then it quickly dissipated, as the economy under Trump rebounded faster than the so-called experts had predicted. By the time Trump left office, the misery index was back down to 7.7.
A funny thing has happened since.
The misery index has climbed each and every month that Joe Biden has been president. In February, it ticked up to 7.9, then rose to 8.6 in March. Last month, the misery index hit 11.3, as the monthly inflation rate climbed to 5.4% while the unemployment rate edged up to 5.9%.
That means the misery index is now higher than it has been (pre-pandemic) since the Great Recession. It’s also higher than the post-World War II average of 9.2. Under Trump, it averaged 6.9, the third-lowest of any postwar president.
{snip}
Biden came into office promising to rescue the economy. Instead, he’s managed to resurrect the specter of 1970s-style misery.

The COVID Aftermath and Lessons Learned
by David Robb
It is now over a year and a half since we first learned of a new disease that proceeded to spread worldwide and wreak havoc on our civilization. Actually, it wasn't the disease that caused such destruction, but rather the heavy-handed actions by governments across the globe to employ questionable measures they justified as necessary to protect their populations. We can now employ hindsight to see what worked and what didn't and learn what we can. As serious as the disease itself was, in many ways, the responses were far more severe, with longer-lasting consequences. If we do not learn our lessons now,

Personally, I will be contacting my state legislators to see what can be done to reign in the power of our worthless governor under this sort of a situation. This should be a goal of all states, but some need it much more than others.

FTA:
Today, the repressive tactics of ruthless liberals and leftists are heating our divisions to boil over into something very ugly.
Fools relish violence, but “John Brown” is coming. That’s not a wish. It’s not a threat. It’s the algorithm of freedom. When smothered inside a stubborn repression, freedom sooner or later finds its way out.
You can’t destroy liberty, destroy history, and mandate policies that destroy the lives and livelihoods of history’s freest people, and expect them to just sit and take it forever.
It’s impossible.

LA County is back with mandatory masks indoors for everyone vaccination or not. So does this mean the vaccination is useless or do they have no ***** clue what they are doing? This just give me more of a reason to stay out of LA. This better not make it's way to OC.
It's only 2 weeks to flatten the curve.
