It’s Friday, March 5th, 2021…but before we begin, COVID politics have presented residents of the Lone Star and Magnolia states a rare opportunity to have their voices heard by corporations both at home and abroad, as FOX News informs them…

Biden says Texas and Mississippi over lifting COVID restrictions, guilty of ‘Neanderthal thinking

Biden says its ‘critical’ to follow the science

 

“…The same day Biden slammed the Republican lawmakers for allowing business owners to open their doors again to help put food on the table, a new disturbing report about COVID coming across the border came to light.

The Biden administration’s border patrol has released more than 100 illegal immigrants into Texas since late January that have tested positive for the coronavirus following their arrival, officials in a city on the U.S.-Mexico border tell Fox News…”

Groper Joe and his cohorts in crime are following science, alright…

political science!

Besides, when did Dimocrats determine Neanderthal thinking, not to mention behavior

…was a crime?!?

Meanwhile, immediately after it was reported the CDC was set to announce Americans who’d been vaccinated could gather INDOORS WITHOUT MASKS, the Morning Jolt‘s Jim Geraghty was left wondering why the CDC was DELAYING issuance of its new POST-vaccine guidelines.  It couldn’t have anything to do the fact Socialists and their sycophants in the Fourth Estate are desperate to defend their incredibly destructive lockdowns in the face, not only of the Wuhan virus’s diminishment, but clear evidence most, if not all of their policies to control IT were, in fact, designed to control US.

That the imminent exposure of their COVID conspiracy comes on the heels of the latest… 

…simply raises the stakes. 

Now, here’s The Gouge!

First up, as NRO‘s Zach Evans records, 46*’s slavish devotion to open borders claims more victims, as the Border Patrol reports…

I’m Groper Joe, and I’m here to help…as many of you into the hereafter as it takes to keep me in power, despite my decrepitude.

Since we’re on the subject of the decrepit, writing at NRO, David Harsanyi reminds those prone to idolatry…

Fauci Is Not Your God

 

“…“We know that, when you do it properly, you bring down those cases. We have done it. We have done it in New York,” Fauci explained on PBS NewsHour back in July 2020. He would keep celebrating Cuomo’s model for the next six months.

New York has a higher coronavirus fatality rate than any country in the Western world. It is a place low in civil liberties and high in death toll. A Faucian centralized plan would have entailed strict lockdowns of the economy and the implementation of policies that compelled nursing homes in states such as Florida, with a high number of vulnerable elderly, to accept thousands of infected people. As it stands now, Florida’s fatality rate is nearly half of that in New Jersey or in Fauci’s exemplar, New York.

I’m sorry the Constitution is inhibiting Fauci’s work, but he is a public-health official. His job is to relay information to the public, not to threaten doom, or coax or trick us into doing things. Yet even now, despite the immensely promising results of the vaccination program (the United States, incidentally, easily outperforms the European Union’s “unified approach”), Fauci is underplaying the effectiveness of the vaccine for the same reasons, one suspects, that he misled us about herd immunity. Even when most American are immunized, Fauci says, we won’t be back to “normal” until new infections drop “to a baseline that’s so low, it is virtually no threat.”

This is a disqualifying statementan insane standard that no free society would ever indulge. For Fauci, herd immunity is effectively 99 percent.

Perhaps it’s understandable that an immunologist such as Fauci, who will continue to make more money than any other official in the United States government through all of this, isn’t very alarmed about the economic, social, and constitutional tradeoffs that accompany his approach. For a year, any criticism of Fauci was immediately slotted into the alleged debate between Donald Trump vs. “science.” But it’s Fauci’s technocratic instincts, not science, that makes him more likely to praise Chicom’s lackeys at the World Health Organization than the resilience of the United States.

Which is one reason why the press should never have canonized Fauci in the first place; but his preening, deceptive performance is another great reason America should avoid a “unified approach” to policy.

Along with any other policy this aging, overpaid, bureaucratic boob promotes.

Speaking of preening, deceptive performances by boobs who don’t know anything concerning the subject about which they’re speaking… 

Obama says reparations ‘justified’ but ‘politics of White resistance’ made it ‘nonstarter’ to propose

 

“…Obama said he believes reparations are “justified” and that “there’s not much question that the wealth…the power of this country was built in significant part — not exclusively, maybe not even the majority of it, but a large portion of it — was built on the backs of slaves.”

The former president claimed that a reparations proposal didn’t make its way through the lawmaking process during his presidency due to “the politics of White resistance and resentment.”

“And what I saw during my presidency was the politics of White resistance and resentment. The talk of ‘welfare queens’ and the talk of the ‘undeserving’ poor. And the backlash against affirmative action,” Obama said…”

Put another way, even were The Dear Misleader’s recollections accurate…which they decidedly are NOTwhatever the mood of the country, HE completely lacked the courage of his supposed convictions.  Funny, we don’t remember MLK waiting for “the politics of White resistance and resentment” to wane before birthing the Civil Rights movement.

In a related item highlighting how the Obamas are the source of the vast majority of any racism existing in America, a…

Moving on, we offer a number of items inquiring minds will likely find of interest:

(1). Contrary to almost everything Progressive politicians and their MSM lapdogs have told you, the U.K.’s Daily Mail conveys Brian Sicknick’s mother’s belief her son died of a stroke, NOT a fire extinguisher to the head, though authorities curiously remain mum.

(2). Townhall.com‘s Matt Vespa provides an update on the two lawyers who attempted to incinerate a number of New York’s finest with Molotov Cocktails.

(3). If you haven’t seen it, the responses of 46*’s transgender nominee for Assistant Health Secretary to Rand Paul’s wholly-legitimate questions regarding the ability of minors to make literally life-altering decisions are beyond belief.

This Family Circus parody from Balls Cotton says it all:

(4). ABC 7 News reports an unidentified East Bay teacher discouraged her students from in-person learning, warning them: I’ll have my desk taped off in an area and I can’t really leave that area. If you want to go to school for social reasons, recognize that you absolutely will not have that. There’s no question that you will not be allowed to interact in any fashion. You cannot work with a partner. You cannot speak with anyone in your class if they are closer than six feet away.”

In other words…

(4.) Having raised the subject of those opposed to fun of any kind, NRO‘s Kyle Smith remembers when The Left was AGAINST banning books.  What a difference political expediency in the face of a contemptible cancel culture makes.

(5). In another commentary, Kyle Smith summarizes why the anti- American actions of Jane Fonda, Donald Sutherland and others in Vietnam were FAR worse than you think.

(6). Sonny Cuomo is toastburnt toast

…and we can only hope his dimwitted brother Fredo is at his side when he’s reunited with Don Mario.

(7). Here’s a headline with the same probability of accuracy as Der Schlickmeister’s infamous…

(8). ICYMI, Progressive politicians aren’t totally bereft of commons sense…or the power of observation…as FOX informs us dozens of House Democrats want Biden to give up sole authority to launch nuclear weapons, claiming “Vesting 1 person with this authority entails real risks.

Risks which evidently weren’t recognizable under any prior President…though they should have been:

Which brings us, appropriately enough, to The Lighter Side:

Then there’s these from Speed…

…more from our sister-in-law Amy…

…and Balls Cotton…

…along with one each from George Lawlor…

…and Augie via his father R.B…

…and last, but certainly not least, two from the lovely Shannon:

Finally, we’ll call it a wrap with another installment of News of the Self-Absorbed, as…
