Even for the non believers in coal country.......green energy is making huge inroads.....at least some people are thinking unlike the trumpists who inhabit this little slice of bias.......BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
Cara Buckley By Cara Buckley Jan. 2, 2022, 3:00 a.m. ET MARTIN COUNTY, Ky. — For a mountain that’s had its top blown off, the old Martiki coal mine is looking especially winsome these days. With its vast stretches of emerald grass dotted with hay bales and ringed with blue-tinged peaks, and the wild horses and cattle that roam there, it looks less like a shuttered strip mine and more like an ad for organic milk.
The mountain is poised for another transformation. Hundreds of acres are set to be blanketed with solar panels in the coming year, installed by locals, many of them former miners. The $231 million project, which recently cleared its last regulatory hurdle, may well be the biggest utility-scale coal to solar project in the country.
It would be a desperately needed economic boost drenched in symbolism: Renewable energy generated from a shuttered mine in the heart of Appalachia, where poverty grinds on in the aftermath of the coal industry’s demise.
In many ways, the project is a test case for whether a region once completely dependent on digging fossil fuels from the ground can be revived by creating clean energy from the sun. As coal continues to decline — the number of jobs nationwide fell to about 40,000 last year from 175,000 in the mid 1980s — supporting former coal communities is seen as vital for what has been termed a “just transition,” in part to ward off backlash against attempts to decarbonize.
Climate Fwd There’s an ongoing crisis — and tons of news. Our newsletter keeps you up to date. Get it sent to your inbox. Yet even as coal miners elsewhere resist the prospect of work in solar and wind production, Martin County’s bleak economic picture — its unemployment rate is nearly twice the national average — has opened many residents to investment of pretty much any sort. Coal mining has already flatlined here; by last count the county had just 26 miners left, down from a peak of thousands.
“The global warming thing, I think a lot of that is overplayed,” said James Mollette, a 65-year-old former miner, as he whiled away part of a recent afternoon inside Miss Ida’s Tea Room in downtown Inez, the county seat. But Mr. Mollette said he was all for a new solar farm, even if it offered largely temporary work. “Anything we can get will be a plus to the economy,” he said.
This is the state that Joe Manchin and Jowls represents....I serious doubt whether his impoverished population gives a shit about national debt, but worry about where they will get their next meal!!!!!!
Nearly six decades later, suffering continues. About one third of the dwindling population lives in poverty, battered by the sharp drop in coal production as well as the environmental damage left in mining’s wake.
Over the past decade, the coal severance tax revenue collected by Martin County based on how much coal is pulled out of the ground has fallen more than 90 percent to $80,000 in the last fiscal year, according to Colby Kirk, the county’s deputy executive judge. As mining work plummeted, people moved elsewhere. Those who stayed face hourslong commutes to manufacturing, retail and service jobs in other counties and states. The region is so job-starved that when a massive indoor tomato farm opened up earlier this year three counties away, some 7,000 applications flooded in for 350 spots.
The area also withstood an enormous coal slurry spill in 2000 when a containment lagoon burst into an abandoned mine below it, sending more than 250 million gallons of toxic coal waste laced with arsenic and mercury into local waterways. The spill, more than 20 times bigger than the Exxon Valdez oil disaster, oozed into yards and streams for miles, suffocating every frog, fish and snapping turtle in its path and contaminating the county’s drinking water.
Yet part of the legacy of the Martiki mine — flat sprawling spaces, proximity to power transmission lines, not to mention a population hungry for work —- may have paved the way for a more auspicious future.
1. They act personally offended when someone criticizes their favorite political leader. Even questioning their political hero can unleash their anger and venom, as if you’d said something nasty about their mom. They seem to have fused their identity with the politician’s, so political criticism is a personal affront.
2. They assume everyone in the opposing party is an idiot. What else could explain why others disagree with them about issues like COVID, the economy, or racism? A person would have to be pretty stupid to see things differently.
3. They assume bad motives by those in the other party. Rather than being stupid (or in addition to), the other side must “be un-American,” or even “hate America.” People who disagree with them couldn’t possibly be acting in good faith, and want the best for our country like they do.
4. They agree with every single position their party takes. It’s unlikely that a free-thinking adult would be in 100% agreement with their political party, given the range of issues that make up a party’s platform*. And yet you know with certainty how this person feels about any given issue based on their party affiliation—even for issues that are hard to predict based on party principles. If their party changes position on an issue, your friend changes with
5. They love it when something makes the other party look bad—even if it's bad for the country. They’re pleased with any outcome that helps their political team, even if that means the economy tanks, or a military engagement goes badly, or rival nations influence our political system. Political calculation eclipses any other consideration.
6. They favor anti-American practices if they benefit their party. In the same vein, they’re okay with stifling free speech or denying someone equal protection under the law. They’re even able to spin these practices as somehow being patriotic and “for the good of the nation.”
7. They cut off ties with people who differ from them politically. They can’t imagine being friends with someone from a different political party and are willing to end relationships when someone fails their political litmus test.
8. They get all their news from a single source—which they swear is unbiased. Whether they’re fans of CNN or Fox News, Breitbart or Slate, they assume they’re getting an unfiltered reporting of facts. Only idiots would watch the fake news on the other end of the spectrum (see #2 above).
2. They assume everyone in the opposing party is an idiot. What else could explain why others disagree with them about issues like COVID, the economy, or racism? A person would have to be pretty stupid to see things differently.
9. They can't name a single action their favorite politician has taken that they disagree with. Their devotion feels more like religious fervor than political preference. The only possible mistake their political savior could make would be to concede anything to the opposition.
10. They can't think of a single redeeming quality in the other party's politicians. Politicians on the other side are seen as all bad—arrogant, irritating, unreasonable, hypocritical—everything that their party’s politicians aren’t. If pressed to find something positive, they might come up with a backhanded compliment, like, “They’ve been very effective at getting half of the American public to buy into a false narrative.”
11. Truth is less important to them than whether something helps their party. They’re willing to bend the truth or repeat outright lies, as long as it’s consistent with their party’s position. They routinely fact-check the opposition, but never their own side.
12. They automatically believe and forward/share/retweet every conspiracy theory about the opposition, no matter how ridiculous and false. When it's pointed out to them that it’s a hoax, they don’t concede the point, saying instead that it sounds exactly like what their political enemies would do. They remain gullible to subsequent conspiracy theories that are equally false.
13. Their political views take precedence over their seemingly deep religious or spiritual convictions. They seem willing to overlook obvious contradictions between their faith and their politics, always deferring to the latter—or finding tortured ways to try to reconcile the two. For example, they ascribe to Buddhist principles yet approve of violence against their political enemies; or, they profess to be a follower of Christ, but disregard his charge to "love your enemies" and "do good to them that hate you" (Matthew 5:44).
14. They assume that everyone who disagrees with them must be brainwashed.
It’s easy for them to see others’ bias while seeing themselves as the lone freethinker. Similar to the fundamental attribution error, they attribute their own beliefs to carefully thinking through each issue, while others’ views are attributed to their party loyalty.
Scoring: Each item gets a single point; simply add them up to find your friend’s score. The probability that your friend is brainwashed is roughly as follows:
0-4: Low5-9:
Moderate10-14:
High: Scott Johnson schizophrenia
If you're interested in helping to undo political polarization and find common ground, consider learning more about groups like More in Common, which aims to "strengthen democratic societies against the threats of polarization and division," or Beyond Conflict, with the goal of "national reconciliation in the aftermath of division and violence."
These described Scott Johnson Sunday Funnies squad perfectly.
8. They get all their news from a single source—which they swear is unbiased. Whether they’re fans of CNN or Fox News, Breitbart or Slate, they assume they’re getting an unfiltered reporting of facts. Only idiots would watch the fake news on the other end of the spectrum (see #2 above).
2. They assume everyone in the opposing party is an idiot. What else could explain why others disagree with them about issues like COVID, the economy, or racism? A person would have to be pretty stupid to see things differently.

"During a July 2021 CNN town hall, U.S. President Joe Biden falsely stated that "You’re not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations," and "If you’re vaccinated, you’re not going to be hospitalized, you’re not going to be in the ICU unit, and you’re not going to die."

Hey goat fucker. why the fuck do you keep posting the same drivel over and over.....do you think others are as fucking stupid as you??????? Maybe you drank too much bleach while having a light shoved up your old stupid ass!!!!!!!
The “vaccinations” don’t prevent COVID nor do the boosters. For vulnerable people, shots may make less intense those COVID strains other than Omicron. With Omicron, there is no “intense.” You get it, you’re not very sick, and with luck, you’re truly immune and that’s the end of the Chinese Communist Party’s viral gift to the world.
It’s time for us to end the COVID charade. It’s a nasty flu, with the main problem being that our federal government refuses to allow doctors to treat it at any time before patients are at death’s door. With treatment, I suspect deaths would be uncommon.
Bleach is good for scabies apparently,as for fudge tunnels from what I heard even Biden bears no comparisson to what comes for from your slobbering mouth. To you good sir MAKE AMERICA FART AGAIN

He was vaccinated but figured he’d get a rapid test just to see. Tested positive, got out of that line into the vaccinated line, showed his passport, went in.
Twitter said on Sunday it permanently suspended the personal account of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) over the social media platform’s COVID-19 misinformation policy.
The social network said in a statement that it took the action after "repeated violations" of the policy.
“We permanently suspended the account you referenced (@mtgreenee) for repeated violations of our COVID-19 misinformation policy. We’ve been clear that, per our strike system for this policy, we will permanently suspend accounts for repeated violations of the policy,” a Twitter spokesperson told The Hill in a statement.
I think theres a guy here whos funny as fuck that has a thing about goats....and im not just talking about the anonymous oneIm wondering if he voted democrats in the last election
A majority of Americans condemns the Jan. 6 riot and believes that former President Trump bears at least some portion of responsibility for that violent attack on the Capitol.
An ABC News/Ipsos poll found 72 percent of Americans say that the people involved in the riot were mostly threatening democracy while 25 percent of those said they were mostly protecting democracy.
ADVERTISING
The poll also found that 58 percent of people surveyed said that Trump bore a great deal or good amount of responsibility for the Capitol riot, compared to 41 percent who said he bore no or just some responsibility.
A majority of Americans also said they believed that Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential election victory was legitimate, with 65 percent of Americans agreeing. Still, one third - 33 percent - say that they think Biden’s victory was not legitimate nearly one year after he was inaugurated.
The topline findings started to diverge along partisan lines, ABC reported. For example, 45 percent of Republicans believed that the people involved in the attack on the Capitol were threatening democracy as opposed to 52 percent who felt they were protecting democracy.
In comparison, 96 percent of Democrats believed those involved in the attack were threatening democracy, ABC reported.
It is freaking 1°F here in Kansas , wind chill-10 F.
Chores always get harder, take longer in the snow and ice.
But, with our wood furnace we are toasting warm @72° F
Ouch. You're getting what's coming our way later this week. Bitter cold on the plains always seemed a bit worse to me than up here in the NE, and I can recall weather like that on our farm, where even getting a single tractor started to feed the cows was a 30-45 min process sometimes.
As Israel weighs whether to approve a fourth Covid vaccine dose, some scientists warn that too many shots might actually harm the body’s ability to fight the coronavirus.
Its easy to blame Trump,but then again he blames everybody else,who in turn blame each other as well as the economy and then some congress person blames the people for not voting for him/her and then the people get word of this and blame the congress person as a hate monger so they have to go back up the hill and have another riot and the CNN and FOX news blame these people for everything,then trump blames the same people for not rigging the election....then some goat fucker comes along with an fucking M16 assault rifle and blows every fuckers ed off with the exception of Biden and a few headless chickens and.....you wonder why the inflation rate is way to high

More believe in cheating in 2020 election, hit ‘Zuckerbucks’
Angered by growing reports that Facebook billionaire Mark Zuckerberg steered vote-generating donations to pro-Biden counties, more voters believe that cheating occurred in the 2020 elections.
Shoving aside repeated liberal media dismissals of cheating claims, those who believe it occurred increased from 56% in October to 59% in the latest Rasmussen Reports poll previewed for Secrets.
Asked “How likely is it that cheating affected the outcome of the 2020 presidential election?” just 36% said unlikely. What’s more, the largest group, at 40%, said that cheating was “very likely.”
Former President Donald Trump has suggested he was cheated. The media, Democrats, and President Joe Biden have dismissed those claims. continues: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/washington-secrets/more-believe-cheating-in-2020-election-hit-zuckerbucks

Perhaps a large yellow badge or decal, in the shape of say, a six-pointed star, would be appropriate here. ANTISEMITIC NOT FUNNY PERIOD REFRAIN FROM SUCH STUPIDITY.
1 in 3 Americans say violence against government can be justified, citing fears of political schism, pandemic By Meryl Kornfield and Mariana Alfaro January 01 at 2:59 PM PST Phil Spampinato had never contemplated the question of whether violence against the government might be justified — at least not in the United States. But as he watched Republicans across the country move to reshape election laws in response to former president Donald Trump’s false fraud claims, the part-time engineering consultant from Dover, Del., said he began thinking differently about “defending your way of life.” “Not too many years ago, I would have said that those conditions are not possible, and that no such violence is really ever appropriate,” said Spampinato, 73, an independent. The notion of legitimate violence against the government had also not occurred to Anthea Ward, a mother of two in Michigan, until the past year — prompted by her fear that President Biden would go too far to force her and her family to get vaccinated against the coronavirus. “The world we live in now is scary,” said Ward, 32, a Republican. “I don’t want to sound like a conspiracy theorist but sometimes it feels like a movie. It’s no longer a war against Democrats and Republicans. It’s a war between good and evil.” A year after a pro-Trump mob ransacked the Capitol in the worst attack on the home of Congress since it was burned by British forces in 1814, a Washington Post-University of Maryland poll finds that about 1 in 3 Americans say they believe violence against the government can at times be justified. The findings represent the largest share to feel that way since the question has been asked in various polls in more than two decades. They offer a window into the country’s psyche at a tumultuous period in American history, marked by last year’s insurrection, the rise of Trump’s election claims as an energizing force on the right, deepening fissures over the government’s role in combating the pandemic, and mounting racial justice protests sparked by police killings of Black Americans.

Doha Madani Sun, January 2, 2022, 10:22 AM Twitter suspended a personal account for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene after "repeated violations" of the Covid-19 misinformation policy, the company said Sunday.

Anyone wonder what trump was doing when the capital was attacked???? He was in the WH dining room watching TV and stuffing his bulbous face with food and not doing a fucking thing to stop it!!!!! Derelection of duty to uphold the constiution in spades....He should be arrested and tossed into jail with the rest of his buddies that coordinated the attack!!!! The GOP still sits on its hands and does nothing to rectify what occurred. Embracing trump is embalamatic of how fucking much trump remains in your simple heads.....The election was not stolen as 62 lost court cases demonstrate!!!!!
One if by land, north side of Lincoln Memorial" on the Potomac river, Kelly Meggs posted on an encrypted Signal group chat on January 2, portentously referring to the famous Paul Revere ride from the American revolution. All during the day, organizers and protestors who would later be indicted for their roles on January 6 spoke of a quick reaction force (QRF) that would wait on the shore of the capital city ready to bring in weapons.
Meggs, 52, a Dunnellon, Florida, resident and self-described leader of the state chapter of the Oath Keepers, compared the storming of the Capitol building to the Boston Tea Party of 1773. On January 2, he posted a map of the city showing two water landings near the Lincoln Memorial and then further south near the tidal basin on Ohio Drive, labeling them QRF rally points where protestors might pick up their "long" guns.

Joshua James, another indicted protestor, received a message that same day asking about weapons. He advised an unindicted friend that it would be better to leave them home, that the "QRF will have weapons."
Others—Derek Kinnison ("midnightrider"), Tony Martinez ("blue collar patriot"), Ronald Mele ("redline"), and Erik Scott Warner ("silvirsurfer")—discussed their own weapons plans. In a photograph taken on January 2, the four men posed, making a hand gesture associated with the Three Percenters, before getting in an SUV and driving cross country from Temecula, California, to the nation's capital. They called themselves the DC Brigade. Kinnison also posted an image of himself with a bandolier of shotgun ammunition around his body. "We will have lots of gear from medical kits, radios, multiple cans of bear spray, knives, flags, [armor] plates, goggles, helmets," he posted.
Inflation to slow in 2022, but still above Fed target: Economist Thomas Hum Thomas Hum·Writer Tue, December 28, 2021, 11:11 AM With the Fed slated to begin its rate hike campaign next year, inflation concerns remain at the top of investors’ minds as a turbulent 2021 comes to a close. According to Gus Faucher, chief economist at PNC Financial Services Group (PNC), there are several key areas that may see reduced price pressures, leading to slowing inflation overall in the coming year.
“I do think that we'll see a gradual slowing in inflation over the course of 2022,” Faucher told Yahoo Finance Live. “After a big run-up in energy prices, they're going to stabilize or come down next year. I do think that a lot of the higher price pressures from the reopening of the economy are going to fade — things like airfares, hotel rooms, new cars, used cars.”
He added that he believes inflation is still going to run “a bit higher than the Fed wants,” however. Faucher joined Yahoo Finance Live to discuss the outlook on inflation for the coming year, Fed rate hikes, and the biggest risks to growth in the economy.
The Labor Department reported earlier this month that the Consumer Price Index grew 0.8% during the month of November for a total increase of 6.8% year-over-year — the fastest rate seen in nearly four decades. In addition, core CPI — which excludes food and energy prices — rose by 4.9% over last year for the fastest increase in around three decades.

I think if we had just told everyone there was a serious virus out there, recommended precautions, and made the vaccine voluntary but widely available, things would’ve been fine.
It's instructive to note that the left has gone 'all-in' on the Jan. 6 insurrection bullshit narrative. Instructive since it reveals that's all they have to run on in both 2022 and 2024. They have no agenda that appeals to even a plurality of the American electorate, let alone a majority, and trying to game the system via the voter fraud monster that is H.R.1 is their only hope.
Every single moment of this presidency has been an abject failure on a scale that's unimaginable, and one cannot even seek historical equivalence with the Jimmy Carter presidency.
The left is now the equivalent of a caged and cornered wild animal, and faced with the destruction by its own hand, is capable of just about anything.
They're fucking crazy, and they're prepared to destroy it all if they don't get their way.
vaccine voluntary but widely available, things would’ve been fine.
THAT IS JUST AS DUMB AS YOU ARE FUCKED UP!!!!!!! Sure seems that logic failed miserably as evidenced by 830k dead Americans and still dying from those too stupid to take the shot!!!!!!

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! What is most amusing is watching the asshole right still rewriting what happened on 1-6!!!!!! Seems to me that trump fiddled while DC rioted....that is inexcusable even for you to accept!!!!!! The saddest commentary is you advocate the vote was fake and are now doing everything you can to overturn the peoples choice....That is as inexcusable as trump stuffing his pie hole while DC burned.....!!!!!! Fucking assholes!!!
Fucked up once again can only respond with a comment he has used more times that trump has lied!!!!!! The only yelling going on is assholes like you going down with the SS Trumptannic!!!!!!!!!! BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! His fascination of butt fucking only confirms his own perversion....LOLOLOLOLOLOL
President Donald Trump, who plans to hold a press conference on the anniversary of the Capitol riot, is getting "terrible advice" from his inner circle, said a former aide.
Trump would be better off remaining silent on January 6, said Alyssa Farah, who worked for the former president as the White House's director of strategic communications.
"The former president has also announced he'll be hosting a press conference that day which, I think if anything proves he's still getting terrible advice from folks around him," said Farah, during an interview with CNN's Kaitlin Collins, per a report by the Independent.
"This would be a wise day for him to stay silent, to let those who were victims on Capitol Hill talk about that very important and solemn day," Farah continued.
Trump is likely to use the press conference to push election fraud conspiracies, Farah added. "I think instead you'll hear a very sort of, you know, the tone from him that this was — reiterating the lies that the election was stolen, saying that those who are being tried for the insurrection are political prisoners," she said.
Trump Jan 6 U.S. President Donald Trump is seen on a screen as his supporters cheer during a rally on the National Mall on January 6, 2021 in Washington, DC. Samuel Corum/Getty Images The former president will hold the press conference from his Mar-a-Lago resort on January 6 — one year after the deadly insurrection at the Capitol. In a statement announcing the event, The Hill reported that he baselessly described Election Day as the "insurrection" and inaccurately referred to January 6 as "a completely unarmed protest of the rigged election."
NPR notes that Capitol rioters came armed, bringing stun guns, pepper spray, and baseball bats with them.
While Trump speaks from Mar-a-Lago, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has said that her office instead intends to hold a "prayerful vigil" among other reflective events.
Speaker Pelosi will speak out on January 6th anniversary
What is most amusing is watching the asshole right still rewriting what happened on 1-6!!!!!!
Well BWAA, you be sure to let us know when a single "rioter" (LOL) is charged with sedition, insurrection, or treason.
So far all I see is a bunch of mee-maws and paw-paws charged with misdemeanor trespass, with even the furry/horny hat guy getting sentenced for "parading" and "unauthorized entry to a federal facility."
In other words BWWAA, if you'd like to convince the country there was an "insurrection" you might start by actually charging someone with insurrection.
It's just like another leftist hoax - global warming. I'll start becoming concerned about it when those peddling the histrionics TELLING ME to be concerned about it, start acting like it themselves. But as long as the elites continue to fly a fleet of private jets the size of a medium-sized military into Davos resorts, I'll remain unconvinced.
And again rat shows all why he and the GOP are fucked up beyond belief!!!!!! BWAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!Funny thing to note is that rats ex wife is addicted to the same things due to his abusive behavior !!!!!!!
Well BWAA, you be sure to let us know when a single "rioter" (LOL) is charged with sedition,
BWAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!! Your simplistic thinking is most ironic.....since I believe since Aaron Burr and Jefferson Davis were charged is one of a few cases brought to trial.....WHy are you a dumb fucking loser with no fucking brains?????
What is most amusing is watching the asshole right still rewriting what happened on 1-6
BWAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! Funny assholes like you think it was nothing more than some tourists out of control....Sad your ability to think is limited by your fucking stupidity !!!!!!!!
67 percent of Democrats believe it is "definitely true" or "probably true" that "Russia tampered with vote tallies in order to get Donald Trump elected." There is no evidence of Russia tampering with vote tallies.
I guess you are too fucking dumb to notice very few schools if any in the US have been closed!!!!!!!! What does make a difference is assholes like you spreading BS and misinformation to support the most useless POTUS ever and a party hat is more spineless than a squid.....V+BWAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

6. They favor anti-American practices if they benefit their party. In the same vein, they’re okay with stifling free speech or denying someone equal protection under the law. They’re even able to spin these practices as somehow being patriotic and “for the good of the nation.”
Wow Roger!
In a moment of true honesty, you just admitted your faults!
I now have way more respect for you, dude!
Now if you can just convince others to be as honest.
Do you not have kidz at home,really its very offensive....i bet your some kinda Irish farmer with a false Clinton foundation passport looking for fuking ETS and
here we go farms for allan...listen we wanna who the fuck this person is who writin about goats????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????/its funny as fuck but we gotta sort it out

Technically, the next attempt to overthrow a national election may not qualify as a coup. It will rely on subversion more than violence, although each will have its place. If the plot succeeds, the ballots cast by American voters will not decide the presidency in 2024. Thousands of votes will be thrown away, or millions, to produce the required effect. The winner will be declared the loser. The loser will be certified president-elect.
The prospect of this democratic collapse is not remote. People with the motive to make it happen are manufacturing the means. Given the opportunity, they will act. They are acting already.
Who or what will safeguard our constitutional order is not apparent today. It is not even apparent who will try. Democrats, big and small D, are not behaving as if they believe the threat is real. Some of them, including President Joe Biden, have taken passing rhetorical notice, but their attention wanders. They are making a grievous mistake.
“The democratic emergency is already here,” Richard L. Hasen, a professor of law and political science at UC Irvine, told me in late October. Hasen prides himself on a judicious temperament. Only a year ago he was cautioning me against hyperbole. Now he speaks matter-of-factly about the death of our body politic. “We face a serious risk that American democracy as we know it will come to an end in 2024,” he said, “but urgent action is not happening.”
For more than a year now, with tacit and explicit support from their party’s national leaders, state Republican operatives have been building an apparatus of election theft. Elected officials in Arizona, Texas, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, and other states have studied Donald Trump’s crusade to overturn the 2020 election. They have noted the points of failure and have taken concrete steps to avoid failure next time. Some of them have rewritten statutes to seize partisan control of decisions about which ballots to count and which to discard, which results to certify and which to reject. They are driving out or stripping power from election officials who refused to go along with the plot last November, aiming to replace them with exponents of the Big Lie. They are fine-tuning a legal argument that purports to allow state legislators to override the choice of the voters.
By way of foundation for all the rest, Trump and his party have convinced a dauntingly large number of Americans that the essential workings of democracy are corrupt, that made-up claims of fraud are true, that only cheating can thwart their victory at the polls, that tyranny has usurped their government, and that violence is a legitimate response.
Because the Republicans will regain control over the Congress and the White House.
Technically, the next attempt to overthrow a national election may not qualify as a coup. It will rely on subversion more than violence, although each will have its place.

Whoever wrote this is completely paranoid and long gone into psychosis.
The guy who is not part of a party is party line. The guy married to a liberal and has 90% liberal friends does not get along with people from the other side. The guy who is often criticized for understanding both sides of an argument believes everyone has bad motives.
Look in the mirror Roger!
And then go back to defending how FB and Twitter have the right to censor free speech because you believe it is okay to stop fake news and that people who disagree with you should have no forum!
Then you can beat up another ex-wife for having different political views than you!

Are you (in the name of not being part of your gaslighting) going to criticize the horrible Covid response from our President. Admit that Fauci has lied to the country and get a little upset that thousands of people are still dying?
Or are you going to act like Denny and the Reverend and the rest of the gaslighted and demand that it's Trump's fault and Biden is not to blame for anything?
I mean we all know Biden is an idiot who should not be President. Both sides should be able to criticize that and tell the truth, huh?
Or are you going to blindlessly defend him on Covid?
Which is it Roger? 420K dead! is that acceptable to you because you don't want to criticize Biden because Politics is more important than the good of the country?
So in other words... You are okay with the censorship and your response to my question is to be offended and then to criticize my blog and attack me personally?
Wasn't that more than one of your signs of someone who is gaslighted?
This is a blog I control. I could censor opinions if I wanted. I choose to allow other opinions (regardless) and even silly rants that are not even real opinions. I even allow dumb insults in the name of free speech.
Does that make me better and bigger than Twitter and Facebook who wants to "control" the content of their forums (even as they declare then public open forums for commercial purposes).
Seems to me that I am quite obviously more inviting of opposing positions than almost any other internet forum out there. Even Powerline restricts and deletes comments.
A real Republican not a Trumpet like s. Scott Johnson schizophrenia
As the one-year anniversary of the Capitol siege nears, the House select committee's sprawling probe is in full swing. In the past six months, the panel has interviewed more than 300 people, issued more than 50 subpoenas and obtained tens of thousands of records.
Cheney said the panel's substantial efforts have already garnered important findings regarding Trump's actions that day.
"The committee has firsthand testimony now that [Trump] was sitting in the dining room next to the Oval Office watching the attack on television," she said.
She went on to add, "We have firsthand testimony that his daughter Ivanka went in at least twice to ask him to please stop this violence."
"He could have told them to stand down. He could have told them to go home – and he failed to do so," Cheney continued. "It's hard to imagine a more significant and more serious dereliction of duty than that."
"Is his failure to make that statement criminal negligence?" Stephanopoulos asked.
Cheney replied that there are several "potential criminal statutes at issue here."
"But I think that there's absolutely no question that it was a dereliction of duty, and I think one of the things the committee needs to look at is we're looking at a legislative purpose is whether we need enhanced penalties for that kind of dereliction of duty," she said.
Cheney, one of two Republicans on the congressional panel probing Jan. 6, said Sunday that "the Republican Party has to make a choice. We can either be loyal to our Constitution or loyal to Donald Trump, but we cannot be both."
Despite her pessimism about the state of her party, Cheney said she remains in high spirits about the work her committee has done.
"This committee gives me hope," she said. "It is very much one that brings together a group of us who have very different policy views, but who come together when the issues have to do with the defense of the Constitution. So, that does give me hope."

Later today I am hanging out with one of our liberal friends. Me, my liberal wife, our liberal friend. We might even politely discuss some current events and issues in a non-combative manner.

1. Were personally I offended you because I criticized your favorite political leader. Even questioning their political hero can unleash their anger and venom, as if you’d said something nasty about their mom. They seem to have fused their identity with the politician’s, so political criticism is a personal affront. And you say I'm locked down in a nursing home.
2. They assume everyone in the opposing party is an idiot. What else could explain why others disagree with them about issues like COVID, the economy, or racism? A person would have to be pretty stupid to see things differently.
3. They assume bad motives by those in the other party. Rather than being stupid (or in addition to), the other side must “be un-American,” or even “hate America.” People who disagree with them couldn’t possibly be acting in good faith, and want the best for our country like they do.
4. They agree with every single position their party takes. It’s unlikely that a free-thinking adult would be in 100% agreement with their political party, given the range of issues that make up a party’s platform*. And yet you know with certainty how this person feels about any given issue based on their party affiliation—even for issues that are hard to predict based on party principles. If their party changes position on an issue, your friend changes with
5. They love it when something makes the other party look bad—even if it's bad for the country. They’re pleased with any outcome that helps their political team, even if that means the economy tanks, or a military engagement goes badly, or rival nations influence our political system. Political calculation eclipses any other consideration.
6. They favor anti-American practices if they benefit their party. In the same vein, they’re okay with stifling free speech or denying someone equal protection under the law. They’re even able to spin these practices as somehow being patriotic and “for the good of the nation.”
Scott he could be changed with sedition or treason. He was aware of what was happening. Because he failed to act, sedition is the most likely scenario.
Members of the House select committee investigating January 6 said Sunday that they have critical testimony about communications to former President Donald Trump on the day of the deadly attack.
Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, the vice chair of the committee and one of its two Republican members, told ABC News that the panel has "firsthand testimony" that during the attack, Trump's daughter and then-senior adviser Ivanka Trump asked him to intervene. And Rep. Bennie Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat, told CNN the panel has "significant testimony" that the White House "had been told to do something."
"We know his daughter -- we have firsthand testimony that his daughter Ivanka went in at least twice to ask him to 'please stop this violence,'" Cheney told ABC News. CNN previously reported on some of these interactions, described in the book "I Alone Can Fix It" by Washington Post reporters Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker.
Thompson told CNN's Dana Bash on "State of the Union" Sunday: "We have significant testimony that leads us to believe that the White House had been told to do something. We want to verify all of it so that when we produce our report and when we have the hearings, the public will have an opportunity to see for themselves."
He added: "Well, the only thing I can say, it's highly unusual for anyone in charge of anything to watch what's going on and do nothing."
Asked whether he believes then-President Trump's actions during the insurrection warrant criminal referral, Thompson replied: "We don't know ... If there's anything we come upon as a committee that we think would warrant a referral to the Department of Justice, we'll do that."
They plan to investigate until late summer. Months before the election day

Believing that someone still obsessed with Trump a year after he is no longer President, repeating conspiracy theories about coups and insurrections, and demanding every other week that he has committed a new crime...
Does not offend me in the least.
I just point out that this sort of obsession is quite literally the definition of a derangement syndrome. This is about me finding your behavior to be excessive, over the top, and borderline delusional.
There really isn't anything to "defend" Trump on. I just point out the reality that you believe Trump was going to jail back during the completely 100% debunked "Russian collusion" conspiracy theory... and continued to argue that he would end up in jail, be tossed out of office, or have the 25th amendment applied...
Something that didn't and hasn't happened.
That doesn't make me a Trump apologist. Just someone who accepts reality as it is. He finished his term, was not removed, has not been charged with any crimes, and is not in jail. Those are just fact, Roger.
Facts that you cannot accept...
tomorrow, the next day, the next week, and the next month... you will still be obsessing about Trump. Nobody (but Denny and the Reverend) cares or feels any need to "defend" anything other than pointing out reality.
Unfortunately it exceeds your mental ability Scott.
Yes... understanding your arguments, Roger... is outside of the range of anyone's mental ability. To understand your word salads and disjointed opinions would mean that we have to somehow be able to relate to your own psychosis.
Since you and I do not live in the same world of reality (you live in the world of reading opinions while I live in the world of what actually is happening) - we will not see eye to eye.
'An American insurrectionist movement' Tampa Bay attorney Bjorn Brunvand represents several people who were at the Capitol that day, including Robert Scott Palmer, who was recently sentenced to five years in prison for assaulting law enforcement officers with a fire extinguisher, a wood plank and a flagpole. His is the longest such term yet.
"He believed in the lies that were being professed by former President Trump and his accomplices," Brunvand said.
But he said his client has had a major change of heart since his arrest.
"It went from 100% support for President Trump and the idea that the election was fraudulent at the beginning ... to the recognition that he was misled. He's sitting in a detention facility here in Washington, D.C. and this big powerful former president who said 'meet me at the Capitol', he's too busy playing golf and has no interest in any of the guys that have been arrested," Brunvand said.
He said Palmer took President Trump's words that day as a directive. That he did it for him. And now he feels abandoned.
"Not only did he not show up, he's not there for anyone who were there and supposedly were there to save democracy and save the country. When in fact, they were doing quite the opposite," Brunvand said.
But the idea of Jan. 6 did not die with the day. The University of Chicago Project on Security and Threats has been tracking insurrectionist sentiment in the U.S. for a year now. It found that 21 million share the same beliefs that motivated rioters that day.
In other words, millions of Americans support the idea of political violence. Researchers call it "an American insurrectionist movement" that, a year after the attack on the Capitol, is still alive and well.
You know that repeating yourself is a sign of dementia?
I am pretty sure you already stated that your argument on mental ability and I already provided a rebuttal.
Had you actually had a response, I might think differently.
But your response was to just repeat yourself.
If you were smart (as you claim) you might have had a rebuttal. Either you are not smart enough to have a rebuttal, or you simply don't realize you are repeating yourself.
But the idea of Jan. 6 did not die with the day. The University of Chicago Project on Security and Threats has been tracking insurrectionist sentiment in the U.S. for a year now. It found that 21 million share the same beliefs that motivated rioters that day.
In other words, millions of Americans support the idea of political violence. Researchers call it "an American insurrectionist movement" that, a year after the attack on the Capitol, is still alive and well.
And the threats of violence and armed militias is growing rapidly.
Fortunately the United States has survived the attack on the Capitol building in history and, the civil war and again the Greatest generation saved the world from fascism, and eventually the cold war ended the Soviet Union Empire.

and much more current and practiced than Fauci, Birx and Gates!!!
The highly transmissible COVID-19 omicron variant has thrown many pandemic-related plans for a loop as Americans canceled holiday plans or were left stuck in a travel nightmare caused by flight crews who could not work because they became sick.
A decision by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last week to cut isolation time in half, from 10 days to five days for asymptomatic COVID-19, was met with backlash after officials said it was due in part to allow people to return to work faster. It came one week after some companies, including Delta Air Lines, wrote to the CDC requesting such a change.
ADVERTISING
Now, Anthony Fauci, the president's chief medical adviser, says the testing part of that guidance may change to now require one as officials struggle with rising cases that at times are breaking pandemic records.
Appearing on ABC’s “This Week" on Sunday, Fauci said the CDC was looking into amending its isolation guidelines nearly one week after it updated its latest guidance, which did not require a negative test before the five days were up.
"There has been some concern about why we don't ask people at that five-day period to get tested. That is something that is now under consideration," Fauci said. “The CDC is very well aware that there has been some pushback about that. Looking at it again, there may be an option in that, that testing could be a part of that, and I think we're going to be hearing more about that in the next day or so from the CDC.”
Last week, Jerome Adams, the former surgeon general during the Trump administration, criticized the abbreviated time and advised people to still get a COVID-19 test before leaving isolation.
"Regardless of what CDC says, you really should try to obtain an antigen test," Adams tweeted. "There’s not a scientist or doctor I’ve met yet who wouldn’t do this for themselves/ their family."
Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R) on Sunday praised the federal government's recent handling the COVID-19 pandemic, but said its messaging has been "a little bit inconsistent."
"It's a recognition that we have to be able to manage our way through this virus. We have to get people to work the supply shortages, the staff shortages — [those] really do a great deal of harm as well," Hutchinson said while appearing on "Fox News Sunday."
Amid the latest surge in cases, officials across the country have also begun weighing the possibility of closing down schools and returning to remote learning. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona on Sunday said the government was committed to maintaining in-person learning.
"We've been very clear, our expectation is for schools to be open full time for students for in-person learning. We remember the impact of school closures on students last year, and our science is better, we have better tools," Cardona said on "Fox News Sunday."
President Biden has also stayed away from suggesting any pandemic-related lockdowns or stay at home orders, a politically unpopular option that could help curb the spread of the latest variant.
Cardona expressed his support for continued vaccinations, but said he would leave vaccination decisions to the state and local levels.
Former Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, said on Sunday that he was in favor of "preemptive" school closures, but said there may also be situations in the future where "reactive" school closures will happen due to the surge in cases.
Asked by "Face the Nation," host Margaret Brennan about reports that antigen tests aren't as efficient at detecting the omicron variant, Gottlieb said that current data suggests the tests can detect the strain at a "reasonably confident" rate.
As you know, this Stack could be devoted entirely to the idiocy of the elite media’s Covid coverage.
I generally can’t waste the time, not with far more important issues to cover, these days mostly vaccine-related: vaccine failure, vaccine side effects, vaccine mandates, vaccines for kids, vaccine passports, etc. Not to mention the lab leak, censorship, and a dozen others.
But every so often, we need to remember that the places that consider themselves the world’s ultimate arbiters of fact have not just failed to ask the right questions (how were the vaccine clinical trials designed?). Whether out of ignorance or ideology or both - probably both - they have actively misled their readers and viewers since March 2020.
The Omicron debacle (be afraid, be very afraid… oh, wait, don’t) - is only the most recent example of this parade of stupidity.
But every parade has a queen.
And when it comes to bad Covid takes, the Atlantic is the unquestioned champion. It started strong, with its infamous “Georgia’s Experiment in Human Sacrifice” headline, and has held the crown ever since.

PS what college degree and credentials did Gates and Jobs have to be considered such "experts" on Covid and vaccines ?
People like you have been saying the same thing about me as long, after I grew up in the 50s.
Since I was a child people looked to me as someone who was smart, quick on my feet and someone to be trusted. As I got older, I started to also be seen as a leader, providing me with lots of management roles and offers.
I have been hired or given offers for pretty much every job I applied for and for years I had headhunters tracking me down. I am thought of as an expert at what I do today... getting awards, promotions, and accolades for my performance.
Perhaps you should look at everything people have always said about you (even as a small child) as possibly being true... rather than suggesting that everyone else in the world is wrong. Perhaps all of these people have a point.
The fact that everyone has questioned your abilities and sanity is not proof of anything other than your behavior befuddles people. You should (perhaps for the first time in your life) take responsibility and accept that it is on you to change other people's views of you... not theirs.
Since I was a child people looked to me as someone who was smart,
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!! Probably a smart ass!!!!!!!!! Just a simple question, Lil Schitty.....are your arms long enough to hug yoursel????? Your ego is larger than shorty of Georgia who thinks he is gods gift to humanity....but with you being an atheist, probably not!!!!! You are pretty funny telling us what a great talent you are while still abandoning your first family and getting involved with a child bride......Very sad you cannot see how fucked up you really are!!!!!!!!!!!
The reason for Alex Berensens' diatribe at The Atlantic......revenge!!!!!! BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! Fucked up finds someone just as fucked!!!!!!!!
Updated at 1:56 p.m. on April 1, 2021. From The Atlantic
The pandemic has made fools of many forecasters. Just about all of the predictions whiffed. Anthony Fauci was wrong about masks. California was wrong about the outdoors. New York was wrong about the subways. I was wrong about the necessary cost of pandemic relief. And the Trump White House was wrong about almost everything else.
In this crowded field of wrongness, one voice stands out. The voice of Alex Berenson: the former New York Times reporter, Yale-educated novelist, avid tweeter, online essayist, and all-around pandemic gadfly. Berenson has been serving up COVID-19 hot takes for the past year, blithely predicting that the United States would not reach 500,000 deaths (we’ve surpassed 550,000) and arguing that cloth and surgical masks can’t protect against the coronavirus (yes, they can).
Berenson has a big megaphone. He has more than 200,000 followers on Twitter and millions of viewers for his frequent appearances on Fox News’ most-watched shows. On Laura Ingraham’s show, he downplayed the vaccines, suggesting that Israel’s experience proved they were considerably less effective than initially claimed. On Tucker Carlson Tonight, he predicted that the vaccines would cause an uptick in cases of COVID-related illness and death in the U.S.
Scott, in January of 1995 I was offered a job as a construction estimator for Kaiser Permanente facility services. I'm the only person in the position who didn't have a college degree.
I eventually became a mentor for three people with college degrees. I was given the most highly complex projects because I learned how to understand highly complex projects in hospitals that have a lot more different building codes.
I also did pre construction projects, so the mangers could get the projects approved.
The engineers often wondered how I could understand their projects in hospital and medical office buildings.
Because I was not afraid of ask questions, and look stupid.
The last one was to upgrade the HVAC systems. In the Baldwin Park hospital.
The building was used when a movie was made, before Kaiser opened up the hospital.
Hey Roger.....If you missed it....Lil Schitty declared himself the smartest and most talented worker ever to breathe and abandon his family!!!!!!! His ego is only surpassed by is adoration of the big lie and trump won.....still with no empiracle evidence of that being true!!!!!!

FBI director Christopher Wray allegedly made a hard-to-believe promise
By Andrea Widburg
In one of the more unbelievable statements from someone working in the American government, FBI Director Christopher Wray has allegedly sworn that his agency will bring down the bad guys named in Ghislaine Maxwell’s little black book. Those pedophiles are toast, right? Well, I have my doubts. To the extent that the FBI has seemed to take it upon itself to be a protector and enforcer for the Democrat party, the only way I see it following up on the evildoers whom Ghislaine knew is if they pose a threat to Democrat party political dominance.
Over the past few decades, the FBI’s crime-solving prowess often seems to revolve around enticing ordinary people to commit the type of crimes the FBI solves and then arresting them for those same crimes. Two of the more recent examples are the attack on Pamela Geller and the purported plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
The Sergeant In Charge can arrest him when he walks into the Capitol building, and hold him until he testifies under oath.

During an appearance on MSNBC's "The Sunday Show," former U.S. Attorney Barabra McQuade agreed with host Jonathan Capehart that Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) doesn't "have a leg to stand on" if he defies the House select committee and refuses to talk if they subpoena him.
Stating it would be "unprecedented" McQuade said Jordan could nonetheless end up in jail while talking about the lawmaker and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) who could also be subpoenaed.

MARTIN COUNTY, Ky. — For a mountain that’s had its top blown off, the old Martiki coal mine is looking especially winsome these days. With its vast stretches of emerald grass dotted with hay bales and ringed with blue-tinged peaks, and the wild horses and cattle that roam there, it looks less like a shuttered strip mine and more like an ad for organic milk.
The mountain is poised for another transformation. Hundreds of acres are set to be blanketed with solar panels in the coming year, installed by locals, many of them former miners. The $231 million project, which recently cleared its last regulatory hurdle, may well be the biggest utility-scale coal to solar project in the country.
It would be a desperately needed economic boost drenched in symbolism: Renewable energy generated from a shuttered mine in the heart of Appalachia, where poverty grinds on in the aftermath of the coal industry’s demise.
In many ways, the project is a test case for whether a region once completely dependent on digging fossil fuels from the ground can be revived by creating clean energy from the sun. As coal continues to decline — the number of jobs nationwide fell to about 40,000 last year from 175,000 in the mid 1980s — supporting former coal communities is seen as vital for what has been termed a “just transition,” in part to ward off backlash against attempts to decarbonize.
Climate Fwd There’s an ongoing crisis — and tons of news. Our newsletter keeps you up to date. Get it sent to your inbox.
Yet even as coal miners elsewhere resist the prospect of work in solar and wind production, Martin County’s bleak economic picture — its unemployment rate is nearly twice the national average — has opened many residents to investment of pretty much any sort. Coal mining has already flatlined here; by last count the county had just 26 miners left, down from a peak of thousands.
“The global warming thing, I think a lot of that is overplayed,” said James Mollette, a 65-year-old former miner, as he whiled away part of a recent afternoon inside Miss Ida’s Tea Room in downtown Inez, the county seat. But Mr. Mollette said he was all for a new solar farm, even if it offered largely temporary work. “Anything we can get will be a plus to the economy,” he said.
This is the state that Joe Manchin and Jowls represents....I serious doubt whether his impoverished population gives a shit about national debt, but worry about where they will get their next meal!!!!!!
Nearly six decades later, suffering continues. About one third of the dwindling population lives in poverty, battered by the sharp drop in coal production as well as the environmental damage left in mining’s wake.
Over the past decade, the coal severance tax revenue collected by Martin County based on how much coal is pulled out of the ground has fallen more than 90 percent to $80,000 in the last fiscal year, according to Colby Kirk, the county’s deputy executive judge. As mining work plummeted, people moved elsewhere. Those who stayed face hourslong commutes to manufacturing, retail and service jobs in other counties and states. The region is so job-starved that when a massive indoor tomato farm opened up earlier this year three counties away, some 7,000 applications flooded in for 350 spots.
The area also withstood an enormous coal slurry spill in 2000 when a containment lagoon burst into an abandoned mine below it, sending more than 250 million gallons of toxic coal waste laced with arsenic and mercury into local waterways. The spill, more than 20 times bigger than the Exxon Valdez oil disaster, oozed into yards and streams for miles, suffocating every frog, fish and snapping turtle in its path and contaminating the county’s drinking water.
Yet part of the legacy of the Martiki mine — flat sprawling spaces, proximity to power transmission lines, not to mention a population hungry for work —- may have paved the way for a more auspicious future.
Roger, can you pull this all off in just 7 months?

Even questioning their political hero can unleash their anger and venom, as if you’d said something nasty about their mom. They seem to have fused their identity with the politician’s, so political criticism is a personal affront.
2. They assume everyone in the opposing party is an idiot.
What else could explain why others disagree with them about issues like COVID, the economy, or racism? A person would have to be pretty stupid to see things differently.
3. They assume bad motives by those in the other party.
Rather than being stupid (or in addition to), the other side must “be un-American,” or even “hate America.” People who disagree with them couldn’t possibly be acting in good faith, and want the best for our country like they do.
4. They agree with every single position their party takes.
It’s unlikely that a free-thinking adult would be in 100% agreement with their political party, given the range of issues that make up a party’s platform*. And yet you know with certainty how this person feels about any given issue based on their party affiliation—even for issues that are hard to predict based on party principles. If their party changes position on an issue, your friend changes with
5. They love it when something makes the other party look bad—even if it's bad for the country.
They’re pleased with any outcome that helps their political team, even if that means the economy tanks, or a military engagement goes badly, or rival nations influence our political system. Political calculation eclipses any other consideration.
6. They favor anti-American practices if they benefit their party.
In the same vein, they’re okay with stifling free speech or denying someone equal protection under the law. They’re even able to spin these practices as somehow being patriotic and “for the good of the nation.”
7. They cut off ties with people who differ from them politically.
They can’t imagine being friends with someone from a different political party and are willing to end relationships when someone fails their political litmus test.
8. They get all their news from a single source—which they swear is unbiased.
Whether they’re fans of CNN or Fox News, Breitbart or Slate, they assume they’re getting an unfiltered reporting of facts. Only idiots would watch the fake news on the other end of the spectrum (see #2 above).
2. They assume everyone in the opposing party is an idiot.
What else could explain why others disagree with them about issues like COVID, the economy, or racism? A person would have to be pretty stupid to see things differently.
9. They can't name a single action their favorite politician has taken that they disagree with.
Their devotion feels more like religious fervor than political preference. The only possible mistake their political savior could make would be to concede anything to the opposition.

Roger, can you pull this all off in just 7 months?
Hey goat fucker.....can you pull yourself off for 7 months and just go fucking away with your stupidity???????
10. They can't think of a single redeeming quality in the other party's politicians.
Politicians on the other side are seen as all bad—arrogant, irritating, unreasonable, hypocritical—everything that their party’s politicians aren’t. If pressed to find something positive, they might come up with a backhanded compliment, like, “They’ve been very effective at getting half of the American public to buy into a false narrative.”
11. Truth is less important to them than whether something helps their party.
They’re willing to bend the truth or repeat outright lies, as long as it’s consistent with their party’s position. They routinely fact-check the opposition, but never their own side.
12. They automatically believe and forward/share/retweet every conspiracy theory about the opposition, no matter how ridiculous and false.
When it's pointed out to them that it’s a hoax, they don’t concede the point, saying instead that it sounds exactly like what their political enemies would do. They remain gullible to subsequent conspiracy theories that are equally false.
13. Their political views take precedence over their seemingly deep religious or spiritual convictions.
They seem willing to overlook obvious contradictions between their faith and their politics, always deferring to the latter—or finding tortured ways to try to reconcile the two. For example, they ascribe to Buddhist principles yet approve of violence against their political enemies; or, they profess to be a follower of Christ, but disregard his charge to "love your enemies" and "do good to them that hate you" (Matthew 5:44).
14. They assume that everyone who disagrees with them must be brainwashed.
It’s easy for them to see others’ bias while seeing themselves as the lone freethinker. Similar to the fundamental attribution error, they attribute their own beliefs to carefully thinking through each issue, while others’ views are attributed to their party loyalty.
Scoring: Each item gets a single point; simply add them up to find your friend’s score. The probability that your friend is brainwashed is roughly as follows:
0-4: Low5-9:

High: Scott Johnson schizophrenia

The “vaccinations” don’t prevent COVID nor do the boosters. For vulnerable people, shots may make less intense those COVID strains other than Omicron. With Omicron, there is no “intense.” You get it, you’re not very sick, and with luck, you’re truly immune and that’s the end of the Chinese Communist Party’s viral gift to the world.
It’s time for us to end the COVID charade. It’s a nasty flu, with the main problem being that our federal government refuses to allow doctors to treat it at any time before patients are at death’s door. With treatment, I suspect deaths would be uncommon.
Bleach is good for scabies apparently,as for fudge tunnels from what I heard even Biden bears no comparisson to what comes for from your slobbering mouth.

Twitter said on Sunday it permanently suspended the personal account of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) over the social media platform’s COVID-19 misinformation policy.
The social network said in a statement that it took the action after "repeated violations" of the policy.
“We permanently suspended the account you referenced (@mtgreenee) for repeated violations of our COVID-19 misinformation policy. We’ve been clear that, per our strike system for this policy, we will permanently suspend accounts for repeated violations of the policy,” a Twitter spokesperson told The Hill in a statement.

I think theres a guy here whos funny as fuck that has a thing about goats....and im not just talking about the anonymous oneIm wondering if he voted democrats in the last election
The big lie is dying slowly but going away
A majority of Americans condemns the Jan. 6 riot and believes that former President Trump bears at least some portion of responsibility for that violent attack on the Capitol.
An ABC News/Ipsos poll found 72 percent of Americans say that the people involved in the riot were mostly threatening democracy while 25 percent of those said they were mostly protecting democracy.
ADVERTISING
The poll also found that 58 percent of people surveyed said that Trump bore a great deal or good amount of responsibility for the Capitol riot, compared to 41 percent who said he bore no or just some responsibility.
A majority of Americans also said they believed that Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential election victory was legitimate, with 65 percent of Americans agreeing. Still, one third - 33 percent - say that they think Biden’s victory was not legitimate nearly one year after he was inaugurated.
The topline findings started to diverge along partisan lines, ABC reported. For example, 45 percent of Republicans believed that the people involved in the attack on the Capitol were threatening democracy as opposed to 52 percent who felt they were protecting democracy.
In comparison, 96 percent of Democrats believed those involved in the attack were threatening democracy, ABC reported.
Biden shifts everything from GOP to Goats to Cocaine remember the sheep that went moo?? I reckon ......

More believe in cheating in 2020 election, hit ‘Zuckerbucks’
Angered by growing reports that Facebook billionaire Mark Zuckerberg steered vote-generating donations to pro-Biden counties, more voters believe that cheating occurred in the 2020 elections.
Shoving aside repeated liberal media dismissals of cheating claims, those who believe it occurred increased from 56% in October to 59% in the latest Rasmussen Reports poll previewed for Secrets.
Asked “How likely is it that cheating affected the outcome of the 2020 presidential election?” just 36% said unlikely. What’s more, the largest group, at 40%, said that cheating was “very likely.”
Former President Donald Trump has suggested he was cheated. The media, Democrats, and President Joe Biden have dismissed those claims.

ANTISEMITIC NOT FUNNY PERIOD REFRAIN FROM SUCH STUPIDITY.
1 in 3 Americans say violence against government can be justified, citing fears of political schism, pandemic
By Meryl Kornfield and Mariana Alfaro
January 01 at 2:59 PM PST
Phil Spampinato had never contemplated the question of whether violence against the government might be justified — at least not in the United States. But as he watched Republicans across the country move to reshape election laws in response to former president Donald Trump’s false fraud claims, the part-time engineering consultant from Dover, Del., said he began thinking differently about “defending your way of life.”
“Not too many years ago, I would have said that those conditions are not possible, and that no such violence is really ever appropriate,” said Spampinato, 73, an independent.
The notion of legitimate violence against the government had also not occurred to Anthea Ward, a mother of two in Michigan, until the past year — prompted by her fear that President Biden would go too far to force her and her family to get vaccinated against the coronavirus.
“The world we live in now is scary,” said Ward, 32, a Republican. “I don’t want to sound like a conspiracy theorist but sometimes it feels like a movie. It’s no longer a war against Democrats and Republicans. It’s a war between good and evil.”
A year after a pro-Trump mob ransacked the Capitol in the worst attack on the home of Congress since it was burned by British forces in 1814, a Washington Post-University of Maryland poll finds that about 1 in 3 Americans say they believe violence against the government can at times be justified.
The findings represent the largest share to feel that way since the question has been asked in various polls in more than two decades. They offer a window into the country’s psyche at a tumultuous period in American history, marked by last year’s insurrection, the rise of Trump’s election claims as an energizing force on the right, deepening fissures over the government’s role in combating the pandemic, and mounting racial justice protests sparked by police killings of Black Americans.
If we don't act, our country will not survive.

"We permanently suspended the account you referenced (@mtgreenee) for repeated violations of our COVID-19 misinformation policy," Twitter said in a statement. "We’ve been clear that, per our strike system for this policy, we will permanently suspend accounts for repeated violations of the policy."
Greene, R-Ga., appears to still have access to her professional account, @RepMTG, but Twitter did not say what was tweeted to earn a permanent suspension.
The Biden Energy Tax.

Anyone wonder what trump was doing when the capital was attacked???? He was in the WH dining room watching TV and stuffing his bulbous face with food and not doing a fucking thing to stop it!!!!! Derelection of duty to uphold the constiution in spades....He should be arrested and tossed into jail with the rest of his buddies that coordinated the attack!!!! The GOP still sits on its hands and does nothing to rectify what occurred. Embracing trump is embalamatic of how fucking much trump remains in your simple heads.....The election was not stolen as 62 lost court cases demonstrate!!!!!

One if by land, north side of Lincoln Memorial" on the Potomac river, Kelly Meggs posted on an encrypted Signal group chat on January 2, portentously referring to the famous Paul Revere ride from the American revolution. All during the day, organizers and protestors who would later be indicted for their roles on January 6 spoke of a quick reaction force (QRF) that would wait on the shore of the capital city ready to bring in weapons.
Meggs, 52, a Dunnellon, Florida, resident and self-described leader of the state chapter of the Oath Keepers, compared the storming of the Capitol building to the Boston Tea Party of 1773. On January 2, he posted a map of the city showing two water landings near the Lincoln Memorial and then further south near the tidal basin on Ohio Drive, labeling them QRF rally points where protestors might pick up their "long" guns.

Joshua James, another indicted protestor, received a message that same day asking about weapons. He advised an unindicted friend that it would be better to leave them home, that the "QRF will have weapons."
Others—Derek Kinnison ("midnightrider"), Tony Martinez ("blue collar patriot"), Ronald Mele ("redline"), and Erik Scott Warner ("silvirsurfer")—discussed their own weapons plans. In a photograph taken on January 2, the four men posed, making a hand gesture associated with the Three Percenters, before getting in an SUV and driving cross country from Temecula, California, to the nation's capital. They called themselves the DC Brigade. Kinnison also posted an image of himself with a bandolier of shotgun ammunition around his body. "We will have lots of gear from medical kits, radios, multiple cans of bear spray, knives, flags, [armor] plates, goggles, helmets," he posted.

Inflation to slow in 2022, but still above Fed target: Economist
Thomas Hum
Thomas Hum·Writer
Tue, December 28, 2021, 11:11 AM
With the Fed slated to begin its rate hike campaign next year, inflation concerns remain at the top of investors’ minds as a turbulent 2021 comes to a close. According to Gus Faucher, chief economist at PNC Financial Services Group (PNC), there are several key areas that may see reduced price pressures, leading to slowing inflation overall in the coming year.
“I do think that we'll see a gradual slowing in inflation over the course of 2022,” Faucher told Yahoo Finance Live. “After a big run-up in energy prices, they're going to stabilize or come down next year. I do think that a lot of the higher price pressures from the reopening of the economy are going to fade — things like airfares, hotel rooms, new cars, used cars.”
He added that he believes inflation is still going to run “a bit higher than the Fed wants,” however. Faucher joined Yahoo Finance Live to discuss the outlook on inflation for the coming year, Fed rate hikes, and the biggest risks to growth in the economy.
The Labor Department reported earlier this month that the Consumer Price Index grew 0.8% during the month of November for a total increase of 6.8% year-over-year — the fastest rate seen in nearly four decades. In addition, core CPI — which excludes food and energy prices — rose by 4.9% over last year for the fastest increase in around three decades.

It's instructive to note that the left has gone 'all-in' on the Jan. 6 insurrection bullshit narrative. Instructive since it reveals that's all they have to run on in both 2022 and 2024. They have no agenda that appeals to even a plurality of the American electorate, let alone a majority, and trying to game the system via the voter fraud monster that is H.R.1 is their only hope.
Every single moment of this presidency has been an abject failure on a scale that's unimaginable, and one cannot even seek historical equivalence with the Jimmy Carter presidency.
The left is now the equivalent of a caged and cornered wild animal, and faced with the destruction by its own hand, is capable of just about anything.
They're fucking crazy, and they're prepared to destroy it all if they don't get their way.

President Donald Trump, who plans to hold a press conference on the anniversary of the Capitol riot, is getting "terrible advice" from his inner circle, said a former aide.
Trump would be better off remaining silent on January 6, said Alyssa Farah, who worked for the former president as the White House's director of strategic communications.
"The former president has also announced he'll be hosting a press conference that day which, I think if anything proves he's still getting terrible advice from folks around him," said Farah, during an interview with CNN's Kaitlin Collins, per a report by the Independent.
"This would be a wise day for him to stay silent, to let those who were victims on Capitol Hill talk about that very important and solemn day," Farah continued.
Trump is likely to use the press conference to push election fraud conspiracies, Farah added. "I think instead you'll hear a very sort of, you know, the tone from him that this was — reiterating the lies that the election was stolen, saying that those who are being tried for the insurrection are political prisoners," she said.
Trump Jan 6

The former president will hold the press conference from his Mar-a-Lago resort on January 6 — one year after the deadly insurrection at the Capitol. In a statement announcing the event, The Hill reported that he baselessly described Election Day as the "insurrection" and inaccurately referred to January 6 as "a completely unarmed protest of the rigged election."
NPR notes that Capitol rioters came armed, bringing stun guns, pepper spray, and baseball bats with them.
While Trump speaks from Mar-a-Lago, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has said that her office instead intends to hold a "prayerful vigil" among other reflective events.
Speaker Pelosi will speak out on January 6th anniversary
What is most amusing is watching the asshole right still rewriting what happened on 1-6!!!!!!
Well BWAA, you be sure to let us know when a single "rioter" (LOL) is charged with sedition, insurrection, or treason.
So far all I see is a bunch of mee-maws and paw-paws charged with misdemeanor trespass, with even the furry/horny hat guy getting sentenced for "parading" and "unauthorized entry to a federal facility."
In other words BWWAA, if you'd like to convince the country there was an "insurrection" you might start by actually charging someone with insurrection.
It's just like another leftist hoax - global warming. I'll start becoming concerned about it when those peddling the histrionics TELLING ME to be concerned about it, start acting like it themselves.

The history of Thecoldheartedtruth
Here’s her damning list in its entirety because I need to remind you of how substantially you abused our trust:
1. Funded dangerous Gain of Function research with our adversary, China, using US taxpayer money, in order to create vaccines and other medicine
2. Denied such funding had occurred
3. Claimed the lab theory was debunked when it hadn’t been investigated
4. Allowed China not to cooperate with the pandemic investigation; never imposed serious sanctions or repercussions for the non-cooperation
5. Failed to disclose their own role in Gain of Function research while publicly “debunking” U.S. involvement in it
6. Conspired to have public officials make statements and publish papers claiming the lab theory had been debunked, when it hadn’t been
7. Encouraged the censorship of factual information on the news and the Internet
8. Claimed would take years for a the first Covid-19 vaccine to be released
9. Conspired to controversialize scientists, researchers, and journalists who tell the truth about various aspects of Covid and the vaccines
10. Falsely claimed certain gatherings, such as the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, were "super spreader" events, when they were not
11. Distorted and exaggerated statistics to make it appear as though people were infected at events when they were not
12. Sent Covid-infected elderly from hospitals to nursing homes where they mass-infected other vulnerable residents
13. Said masks don’t work
The famous Coldheartedtruth Truthseeker is dead.

The brainwashed Truth
1. They act personally offended when someone criticizes their favorite political leader.
Even questioning their political hero can unleash their anger and venom, as if you’d said something nasty about their mom. They seem to have fused their identity with the politician’s, so political criticism is a personal affront.
2. They assume everyone in the opposing party is an idiot.
What else could explain why others disagree with them about issues like COVID, the economy, or racism? A person would have to be pretty stupid to see things differently.
3. They assume bad motives by those in the other party.
Rather than being stupid (or in addition to), the other side must “be un-American,” or even “hate America.” People who disagree with them couldn’t possibly be acting in good faith, and want the best for our country like they do.
4. They agree with every single position their party takes.
It’s unlikely that a free-thinking adult would be in 100% agreement with their political party, given the range of issues that make up a party’s platform*. And yet you know with certainty how this person feels about any given issue based on their party affiliation—even for issues that are hard to predict based on party principles. If their party changes position on an issue, your friend changes with
5. They love it when something makes the other party look bad—even if it's bad for the country.
They’re pleased with any outcome that helps their political team, even if that means the economy tanks, or a military engagement goes badly, or rival nations influence our political system. Political calculation eclipses any other consideration.
6. They favor anti-American practices if they benefit their party.
In the same vein, they’re okay with stifling free speech or denying someone equal protection under the law. They’re even able to spin these practices as somehow being patriotic and “for the good of the nation.”
Wow Roger!
In a moment of true honesty, you just admitted your faults!
I now have way more respect for you, dude!
Now if you can just convince others to be as honest.

The Biden Energy Tax.

Can Biden increase oil/gas production?
The coup has already succeeded.
Technically, the next attempt to overthrow a national election may not qualify as a coup. It will rely on subversion more than violence, although each will have its place. If the plot succeeds, the ballots cast by American voters will not decide the presidency in 2024. Thousands of votes will be thrown away, or millions, to produce the required effect. The winner will be declared the loser. The loser will be certified president-elect.
The prospect of this democratic collapse is not remote. People with the motive to make it happen are manufacturing the means. Given the opportunity, they will act. They are acting already.
Who or what will safeguard our constitutional order is not apparent today. It is not even apparent who will try. Democrats, big and small D, are not behaving as if they believe the threat is real. Some of them, including President Joe Biden, have taken passing rhetorical notice, but their attention wanders. They are making a grievous mistake.
“The democratic emergency is already here,” Richard L. Hasen, a professor of law and political science at UC Irvine, told me in late October. Hasen prides himself on a judicious temperament. Only a year ago he was cautioning me against hyperbole. Now he speaks matter-of-factly about the death of our body politic. “We face a serious risk that American democracy as we know it will come to an end in 2024,” he said, “but urgent action is not happening.”
For more than a year now, with tacit and explicit support from their party’s national leaders, state Republican operatives have been building an apparatus of election theft. Elected officials in Arizona, Texas, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, and other states have studied Donald Trump’s crusade to overturn the 2020 election. They have noted the points of failure and have taken concrete steps to avoid failure next time. Some of them have rewritten statutes to seize partisan control of decisions about which ballots to count and which to discard, which results to certify and which to reject. They are driving out or stripping power from election officials who refused to go along with the plot last November, aiming to replace them with exponents of the Big Lie. They are fine-tuning a legal argument that purports to allow state legislators to override the choice of the voters.
By way of foundation for all the rest, Trump and his party have convinced a dauntingly large number of Americans that the essential workings of democracy are corrupt, that made-up claims of fraud are true, that only cheating can thwart their victory at the polls, that tyranny has usurped their government, and that violence is a legitimate response.
Because the Republicans will regain control over the Congress and the White House.
Unless The people prevail.

The guy who is not part of a party is party line. The guy married to a liberal and has 90% liberal friends does not get along with people from the other side. The guy who is often criticized for understanding both sides of an argument believes everyone has bad motives.
Look in the mirror Roger!
And then go back to defending how FB and Twitter have the right to censor free speech because you believe it is okay to stop fake news and that people who disagree with you should have no forum!
Then you can beat up another ex-wife for having different political views than you!

Hey Roger....
Are you cheering the fact that Marjorie Taylor Green has had her first amendment rights suspended...
You know, because what she says is harmful to the country and needs to be stopped for public good?
Or are you going to follow your own example and criticize those who are trying to shut her up?

Twitter is a private company not the government.
This website could block you too. And Twitter but you are not popular.
This blog has a lot lower number of visitors than before you lost your mind Scott.
Roger...
Are you (in the name of not being part of your gaslighting) going to criticize the horrible Covid response from our President. Admit that Fauci has lied to the country and get a little upset that thousands of people are still dying?
Or are you going to act like Denny and the Reverend and the rest of the gaslighted and demand that it's Trump's fault and Biden is not to blame for anything?
I mean we all know Biden is an idiot who should not be President. Both sides should be able to criticize that and tell the truth, huh?
Or are you going to blindlessly defend him on Covid?
Which is it Roger? 420K dead! is that acceptable to you because you don't want to criticize Biden because Politics is more important than the good of the country?
Just curious...
Okay Roger...
So in other words... You are okay with the censorship and your response to my question is to be offended and then to criticize my blog and attack me personally?
Wasn't that more than one of your signs of someone who is gaslighted?
So Roger...
This is a blog I control. I could censor opinions if I wanted. I choose to allow other opinions (regardless) and even silly rants that are not even real opinions. I even allow dumb insults in the name of free speech.
Does that make me better and bigger than Twitter and Facebook who wants to "control" the content of their forums (even as they declare then public open forums for commercial purposes).
Seems to me that I am quite obviously more inviting of opposing positions than almost any other internet forum out there. Even Powerline restricts and deletes comments.
How can you explain that?

A real Republican not a Trumpet like s. Scott Johnson schizophrenia
As the one-year anniversary of the Capitol siege nears, the House select committee's sprawling probe is in full swing. In the past six months, the panel has interviewed more than 300 people, issued more than 50 subpoenas and obtained tens of thousands of records.
Cheney said the panel's substantial efforts have already garnered important findings regarding Trump's actions that day.
"The committee has firsthand testimony now that [Trump] was sitting in the dining room next to the Oval Office watching the attack on television," she said.
She went on to add, "We have firsthand testimony that his daughter Ivanka went in at least twice to ask him to please stop this violence."
"He could have told them to stand down. He could have told them to go home – and he failed to do so," Cheney continued. "It's hard to imagine a more significant and more serious dereliction of duty than that."
"Is his failure to make that statement criminal negligence?" Stephanopoulos asked.
Cheney replied that there are several "potential criminal statutes at issue here."
"But I think that there's absolutely no question that it was a dereliction of duty, and I think one of the things the committee needs to look at is we're looking at a legislative purpose is whether we need enhanced penalties for that kind of dereliction of duty," she said.
Cheney, one of two Republicans on the congressional panel probing Jan. 6, said Sunday that "the Republican Party has to make a choice. We can either be loyal to our Constitution or loyal to Donald Trump, but we cannot be both."
Despite her pessimism about the state of her party, Cheney said she remains in high spirits about the work her committee has done.
"This committee gives me hope," she said. "It is very much one that brings together a group of us who have very different policy views, but who come together when the issues have to do with the defense of the Constitution. So, that does give me hope."
This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.

Members of the House select committee investigating January 6 said Sunday that they have critical testimony about communications to former President Donald Trump on the day of the deadly attack.
Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, the vice chair of the committee and one of its two Republican members, told ABC News that the panel has "firsthand testimony" that during the attack, Trump's daughter and then-senior adviser Ivanka Trump asked him to intervene. And Rep. Bennie Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat, told CNN the panel has "significant testimony" that the White House "had been told to do something."
"We know his daughter -- we have firsthand testimony that his daughter Ivanka went in at least twice to ask him to 'please stop this violence,'" Cheney told ABC News. CNN previously reported on some of these interactions, described in the book "I Alone Can Fix It" by Washington Post reporters Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker.
Thompson told CNN's Dana Bash on "State of the Union" Sunday: "We have significant testimony that leads us to believe that the White House had been told to do something. We want to verify all of it so that when we produce our report and when we have the hearings, the public will have an opportunity to see for themselves."
He added: "Well, the only thing I can say, it's highly unusual for anyone in charge of anything to watch what's going on and do nothing."
Asked whether he believes then-President Trump's actions during the insurrection warrant criminal referral, Thompson replied: "We don't know ... If there's anything we come upon as a committee that we think would warrant a referral to the Department of Justice, we'll do that."
They plan to investigate until late summer. Months before the election day
When I criticized Trump, you said every single day you said I had TDS TDS TDS
Believing that someone still obsessed with Trump a year after he is no longer President, repeating conspiracy theories about coups and insurrections, and demanding every other week that he has committed a new crime...
Does not offend me in the least.
I just point out that this sort of obsession is quite literally the definition of a derangement syndrome. This is about me finding your behavior to be excessive, over the top, and borderline delusional.
There really isn't anything to "defend" Trump on. I just point out the reality that you believe Trump was going to jail back during the completely 100% debunked "Russian collusion" conspiracy theory... and continued to argue that he would end up in jail, be tossed out of office, or have the 25th amendment applied...
Something that didn't and hasn't happened.
That doesn't make me a Trump apologist. Just someone who accepts reality as it is. He finished his term, was not removed, has not been charged with any crimes, and is not in jail. Those are just fact, Roger.
Facts that you cannot accept...
tomorrow, the next day, the next week, and the next month... you will still be obsessing about Trump. Nobody (but Denny and the Reverend) cares or feels any need to "defend" anything other than pointing out reality.
Unfortunately it exceeds your mental ability Scott.
Yes... understanding your arguments, Roger... is outside of the range of anyone's mental ability. To understand your word salads and disjointed opinions would mean that we have to somehow be able to relate to your own psychosis.
Since you and I do not live in the same world of reality (you live in the world of reading opinions while I live in the world of what actually is happening) - we will not see eye to eye.
CHT- Bingo
The Insurrection is still ongoing.
'An American insurrectionist movement'
Tampa Bay attorney Bjorn Brunvand represents several people who were at the Capitol that day, including Robert Scott Palmer, who was recently sentenced to five years in prison for assaulting law enforcement officers with a fire extinguisher, a wood plank and a flagpole. His is the longest such term yet.
"He believed in the lies that were being professed by former President Trump and his accomplices," Brunvand said.
But he said his client has had a major change of heart since his arrest.
"It went from 100% support for President Trump and the idea that the election was fraudulent at the beginning ... to the recognition that he was misled. He's sitting in a detention facility here in Washington, D.C. and this big powerful former president who said 'meet me at the Capitol', he's too busy playing golf and has no interest in any of the guys that have been arrested," Brunvand said.
He said Palmer took President Trump's words that day as a directive. That he did it for him. And now he feels abandoned.
"Not only did he not show up, he's not there for anyone who were there and supposedly were there to save democracy and save the country. When in fact, they were doing quite the opposite," Brunvand said.
But the idea of Jan. 6 did not die with the day. The University of Chicago Project on Security and Threats has been tracking insurrectionist sentiment in the U.S. for a year now. It found that 21 million share the same beliefs that motivated rioters that day.
In other words, millions of Americans support the idea of political violence. Researchers call it "an American insurrectionist movement" that, a year after the attack on the Capitol, is still alive and well.

You are correct, because it exceeds your mental ability Scott.
Roger....
You know that repeating yourself is a sign of dementia?
I am pretty sure you already stated that your argument on mental ability and I already provided a rebuttal.
Had you actually had a response, I might think differently.
But your response was to just repeat yourself.
If you were smart (as you claim) you might have had a rebuttal. Either you are not smart enough to have a rebuttal, or you simply don't realize you are repeating yourself.
But the idea of Jan. 6 did not die with the day. The University of Chicago Project on Security and Threats has been tracking insurrectionist sentiment in the U.S. for a year now. It found that 21 million share the same beliefs that motivated rioters that day.

And the threats of violence and armed militias is growing rapidly.
Fortunately the United States has survived the attack on the Capitol building in history and, the civil war and again the Greatest generation saved the world from fascism, and eventually the cold war ended the Soviet Union Empire.
You are a fascist Scott.

WOW, I guess roger is now a big fan of The Great Barrington Declaration and their noted epidemiologists Sunetra Gupta of the University of Oxford, Jay Bhattacharya of Stanford University, and Martin Kulldorff of Harvard University
FANTASTIC QUALIFICATIONS !!!
and much more current and practiced than Fauci, Birx and Gates!!!
good point alky !!!
The highly transmissible COVID-19 omicron variant has thrown many pandemic-related plans for a loop as Americans canceled holiday plans or were left stuck in a travel nightmare caused by flight crews who could not work because they became sick.
A decision by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last week to cut isolation time in half, from 10 days to five days for asymptomatic COVID-19, was met with backlash after officials said it was due in part to allow people to return to work faster. It came one week after some companies, including Delta Air Lines, wrote to the CDC requesting such a change.
ADVERTISING
Now, Anthony Fauci, the president's chief medical adviser, says the testing part of that guidance may change to now require one as officials struggle with rising cases that at times are breaking pandemic records.
Appearing on ABC’s “This Week" on Sunday, Fauci said the CDC was looking into amending its isolation guidelines nearly one week after it updated its latest guidance, which did not require a negative test before the five days were up.
"There has been some concern about why we don't ask people at that five-day period to get tested. That is something that is now under consideration," Fauci said. “The CDC is very well aware that there has been some pushback about that. Looking at it again, there may be an option in that, that testing could be a part of that, and I think we're going to be hearing more about that in the next day or so from the CDC.”
Last week, Jerome Adams, the former surgeon general during the Trump administration, criticized the abbreviated time and advised people to still get a COVID-19 test before leaving isolation.
"Regardless of what CDC says, you really should try to obtain an antigen test," Adams tweeted. "There’s not a scientist or doctor I’ve met yet who wouldn’t do this for themselves/ their family."
Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R) on Sunday praised the federal government's recent handling the COVID-19 pandemic, but said its messaging has been "a little bit inconsistent."
"It's a recognition that we have to be able to manage our way through this virus. We have to get people to work the supply shortages, the staff shortages — [those] really do a great deal of harm as well," Hutchinson said while appearing on "Fox News Sunday."
Amid the latest surge in cases, officials across the country have also begun weighing the possibility of closing down schools and returning to remote learning. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona on Sunday said the government was committed to maintaining in-person learning.
"We've been very clear, our expectation is for schools to be open full time for students for in-person learning. We remember the impact of school closures on students last year, and our science is better, we have better tools," Cardona said on "Fox News Sunday."
President Biden has also stayed away from suggesting any pandemic-related lockdowns or stay at home orders, a politically unpopular option that could help curb the spread of the latest variant.
Cardona expressed his support for continued vaccinations, but said he would leave vaccination decisions to the state and local levels.
Former Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, said on Sunday that he was in favor of "preemptive" school closures, but said there may also be situations in the future where "reactive" school closures will happen due to the surge in cases.
Asked by "Face the Nation," host Margaret Brennan about reports that antigen tests aren't as efficient at detecting the omicron variant, Gottlieb said that current data suggests the tests can detect the strain at a "reasonably confident" rate.
The Atlantic, oh my
As you know, this Stack could be devoted entirely to the idiocy of the elite media’s Covid coverage.
I generally can’t waste the time, not with far more important issues to cover, these days mostly vaccine-related: vaccine failure, vaccine side effects, vaccine mandates, vaccines for kids, vaccine passports, etc. Not to mention the lab leak, censorship, and a dozen others.
But every so often, we need to remember that the places that consider themselves the world’s ultimate arbiters of fact have not just failed to ask the right questions (how were the vaccine clinical trials designed?). Whether out of ignorance or ideology or both - probably both - they have actively misled their readers and viewers since March 2020.
The Omicron debacle (be afraid, be very afraid… oh, wait, don’t) - is only the most recent example of this parade of stupidity.
But every parade has a queen.
And when it comes to bad Covid takes, the Atlantic is the unquestioned champion. It started strong, with its infamous “Georgia’s Experiment in Human Sacrifice” headline, and has held the crown ever since.
Lately, though, the Atlantic has gone to another level. It is no longer merely off-base or directionally wrong; it has turned into a near-perfect contrary indicator.

Since I was a child people looked to me as someone who was smart, quick on my feet and someone to be trusted. As I got older, I started to also be seen as a leader, providing me with lots of management roles and offers.
I have been hired or given offers for pretty much every job I applied for and for years I had headhunters tracking me down. I am thought of as an expert at what I do today... getting awards, promotions, and accolades for my performance.
Perhaps you should look at everything people have always said about you (even as a small child) as possibly being true... rather than suggesting that everyone else in the world is wrong. Perhaps all of these people have a point.
The fact that everyone has questioned your abilities and sanity is not proof of anything other than your behavior befuddles people. You should (perhaps for the first time in your life) take responsibility and accept that it is on you to change other people's views of you... not theirs.
Since I was a child people looked to me as someone who was smart,
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!! Probably a smart ass!!!!!!!!! Just a simple question, Lil Schitty.....are your arms long enough to hug yoursel?????

The pandemic has made fools of many forecasters. Just about all of the predictions whiffed. Anthony Fauci was wrong about masks. California was wrong about the outdoors. New York was wrong about the subways. I was wrong about the necessary cost of pandemic relief. And the Trump White House was wrong about almost everything else.
In this crowded field of wrongness, one voice stands out. The voice of Alex Berenson: the former New York Times reporter, Yale-educated novelist, avid tweeter, online essayist, and all-around pandemic gadfly. Berenson has been serving up COVID-19 hot takes for the past year, blithely predicting that the United States would not reach 500,000 deaths (we’ve surpassed 550,000) and arguing that cloth and surgical masks can’t protect against the coronavirus (yes, they can).
Berenson has a big megaphone. He has more than 200,000 followers on Twitter and millions of viewers for his frequent appearances on Fox News’ most-watched shows. On Laura Ingraham’s show, he downplayed the vaccines, suggesting that Israel’s experience proved they were considerably less effective than initially claimed. On Tucker Carlson Tonight, he predicted that the vaccines would cause an uptick in cases of COVID-related illness and death in the U.S.

Matthew Stafford DGD (Damn Good Dawg)
Scott, in January of 1995 I was offered a job as a construction estimator for Kaiser Permanente facility services. I'm the only person in the position who didn't have a college degree.
I eventually became a mentor for three people with college degrees. I was given the most highly complex projects because I learned how to understand highly complex projects in hospitals that have a lot more different building codes.
I also did pre construction projects, so the mangers could get the projects approved.
The engineers often wondered how I could understand their projects in hospital and medical office buildings.
Because I was not afraid of ask questions, and look stupid.
The last one was to upgrade the HVAC systems. In the Baldwin Park hospital.
The building was used when a movie was made, before Kaiser opened up the hospital.
Getting Stafford was a great deal.
Plus the linebacker from the Denver Broncos
And again I take responsibility for my decisions. Good and bad
You can't.
Hey Roger.....If you missed it....Lil Schitty declared himself the smartest and most talented worker ever to breathe and abandon his family!!!!!!! His ego is only surpassed by is adoration of the big lie and trump won.....still with no empiracle evidence of that being true!!!!!!
You people believe that Christopher Wray is the next J. Edgar Hoover in the 21st century.

FBI director Christopher Wray allegedly made a hard-to-believe promise
By Andrea Widburg
In one of the more unbelievable statements from someone working in the American government, FBI Director Christopher Wray has allegedly sworn that his agency will bring down the bad guys named in Ghislaine Maxwell’s little black book. Those pedophiles are toast, right? Well, I have my doubts. To the extent that the FBI has seemed to take it upon itself to be a protector and enforcer for the Democrat party, the only way I see it following up on the evildoers whom Ghislaine knew is if they pose a threat to Democrat party political dominance.
Over the past few decades, the FBI’s crime-solving prowess often seems to revolve around enticing ordinary people to commit the type of crimes the FBI solves and then arresting them for those same crimes. Two of the more recent examples are the attack on Pamela Geller and the purported plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
Until I admitted being an alcoholic I was like him. I enjoy being intelligent but I'm not as crazy because. I say every night.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.
Scott would not say it
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.
Because he knows everything himself.
The Sergeant In Charge can arrest him when he walks into the Capitol building, and hold him until he testifies under oath.
Jim Jordan looking at 'jail time' if he defies Capitol riot committee: former US attorney

During an appearance on MSNBC's "The Sunday Show," former U.S. Attorney Barabra McQuade agreed with host Jonathan Capehart that Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) doesn't "have a leg to stand on" if he defies the House select committee and refuses to talk if they subpoena him.
Stating it would be "unprecedented" McQuade said Jordan could nonetheless end up in jail while talking about the lawmaker and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) who could also be subpoenaed.
