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.

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.

1 hour ago, Doc said:
"Help improve the issues at the source" is code for "we're not going to do a thing."
I disagree with you there Doc.
"Help improve the issues at the source"
Clearly means throw U.S. taxpayer money at foreign governments.

Here's What the Arizona Audit Is Really All About
By Kira Davis
You know the election audits are over the target when Democrats are screaming about them being a waste of time. As the Arizona audits continue and audits in Georgia show significant discrepancies, the left wing politicos have dropped all semblance of rationale as they hiss and boo about “big lies” and Donald Trump.
As Tucker Carlson recently pointed out, if there’s no there there, what’s the big deal? One would think progressives would be excited to prove wrong those who think the election was fraudulent. One would think they’d be encouraging these audits, if for no other reason than to dunk on conservatives when they are ultimately proven right. And if those progressives think that audits themselves may be corrupt, does that not reinforce the point that perhaps the American people should concerned about election integrity?
There is no mechanism by which Donald Trump could be reinstated as POTUS in the event of proof of massive fraud.
In an Arizona Senate hearing on the audits, Senator Karen Fann gave an excellent and reasonable explanation as to why these audits matter, and in fact why they are absolutely imperative. Listening to her reasoning, it is hard to imagine anyone taking issue with a process that allows voters to peek at the integrity – or lack thereof – of their own election process.
Fann says these audits aren’t about Trump, they are about transparency and restoring faith in the election process for the American people. She reminded the detractors that “voters are constituents” and they have expressed fear and reservations about vote-counting in their state. As representatives of their constituents, it is literally the state senate’s job to respond to those questions and provide answers, if that is what the people desire. The Senate has the responsibility to ease those fears by proving them wrong or by proving them right and passing laws to prevent such a thing from ever happening again.
It’s hardly radical, but to hear the Democrats tell it, it’s equivalent to a Hitlerian coup.
Fann’s explanation is about as logical and reasonable as it gets. It’s hard to find a reason to say she is wrong here. The audit is for the people, not the pundits or the Swamp.
If our procedures perhaps are lacking in some way, this is a great opportunity — let’s fix that, because that’s what this body does. We pass laws.
Someone tell that to the Texas Senate Democrats.
[We want to] make sure everybody knew, which we told you as well in the very beginning, is, this is not about Trump. This is not about overturning the election. This has never been about anything other than election integrity. This is the epitome of what America stands for, and if we do not have confidence in our electoral process, then everything we do in life is jeopardized. There was a poll that was recently done that [said] 45% of people in Arizona, according to that poll, believe that we have serious problems with our elections. Whether that is true or not, whether they are rumors and unfounded accusations or legitimate problems, for whatever reason, as a Senate body, we felt that it was our obligation and our duty to answer.

They're like Nazis, except for the fact that they were idiot droogs wearing Viking horns rather than the a government-backed armed force?
We were on the verge of a coup, except not a single person in the entire military chain of command supported Trump's supposed aspirations?

‘Good luck, you ineffective buffoons’: The Lincoln Project releases its mission statement
They ran out of alleged principled conservatives to fund their antics so now they have to move on:
Please,please, please...........keep posting their nonsense.

So not only is the Texas voting bill NOT repressive or suppressive or oppressive at all, but Democrats ACTUALLY GOT what they wanted.
And they still ran like b*tches.
Do not celebrate these losers, people. Point and laugh.
