It’s Friday, March 26th, 2021…but before we begin, the WSJ‘s Kim Strassel offers this spirited defense of the MSM’s continued attacks on Wisconsin senator Ron Johnson:
“…What’s this all about? From the Times story, it amounts to this: Mr. Johnson has refused to brand everyone present in Washington on Jan. 6 as “insurrectionists”; he’s continued to note that last year’s Black Lives Matter protests led to rioting, looting, arson and death; he held hearings on treatments for Covid and 2020 election integrity; and he’s declined, for now, a Covid vaccine, given he had the disease last year and decided to let others go before him.
None of this is remotely conspiratorial or even controversial. Mr. Johnson’s real offense is refusing to roll over to the progressive and public-health police and continuing to ask tough questions…”
The coordinated assaults on Ron Johnson are a perfect example of a fact of contemporary life Daniel Francis recently observed: We live in age where we’re forced to care about things that don’t matter, and to ignore things that do…as with 46*’s softball game masquerading as a press conference.
“‘Long Covid,’ or post-Covid syndrome, is an emerging condition that has attracted great media attention—and now federal funding. The National Institutes of Health last month announced a $1.15 billion initiative to research the “prolonged health consequences” of Covid-19 infection.
The topic deserves serious study. Some patients, particularly older ones with co-morbidities, do experience symptoms that outlast a coronavirus infection. But such symptoms can also be psychologically generated or caused by a physical illness unrelated to the prior infection. Long Covid is largely an invention of vocal patient activist groups.Legitimizing it with generous funding risks worsening the symptoms the NIH is hoping to treat…”
Which is precisely what led to so many deliberately misdiagnosed cases of COVID-19.
Moving on from phony infirmities to make-believe money, Best of the Web‘s Jim Freeman highlights the highly combustible combination of…
“…Until Covid, $5 trillion was larger than the entire annual federal budget.Do we hear $6 trillion?
The Axios crew says that academics are encouraging the big guy to think even bigger:
President Biden recently held an undisclosed East Room session with historians that included discussion of how big is too big — and how fast is too fast — to jam through once-in-a-lifetime historic changes to America.
This column seems to have forgotten the Biden 2020 campaign promise to “jam through” massive changes on partisan votes.Wasn’t his argument against Bernie Sanders that a Biden presidency would not operate this way?
These days Mr. Biden doesn’t even seem to need much encouragement to endorse reckless expansions of government.According to the Axios report:
The historians’ views were very much in sync with his own: It is time to go even bigger and faster than anyone expected.If that means chucking the filibuster and bipartisanship, so be it…”
Sorry, but who would consult historians about an issue of economics? As The Boss observed, one might as well meet with a group of Hollywood celebrities and get their thoughts. There’s no doubt their minds would align with Biden’s, not to mention their understanding of fiscal matters approximating that of the historians.
Turning from the uninformed to the purposefully prevaricating, the Morning Jolt tells us how…
“New York governor Andrew Cuomo, March 31, 2020: “We still see people coming out who don’t need to be out. Even for essential workers, people have to be careful. And again, I’ve been trying to communicate that. Everyone, everyone is subject to this virus. It is the great equalizer. I don’t care how smart, how rich, how powerful you think you are. I don’t care how young, how old. This virus is the great equalizer.”
Cuomo might be the most arrogant and entitled governor in the country, but if that doesn’t seem like a remarkable label, gaze at Sacramento, Springfield, Lansing, or Richmond and contemplate his competition.
Because while Cuomo was telling New Yorkers that the virus was the “great equalizer” and invoking the cliché that “we’re all in this together,” he and his administration were pushing his family members and closest associates to the front of the line for testing…”
If this corruptocrat isn’t impeached and imprisoned, it will be the biggest miscarriage of justice since Bill and Hillary skated on Jeffrey Epstein’s Clintonside.
Next, we submit for your perusal eight more items carefully selected to challenge the inquiring mind:
(2). The Babylon Bee provides the nine advantages of female soldiers, none of which actually enhances unit effectiveness, combat readiness or national security. But who’s counting, and…
(4.) More sh*t you can’t possibly make up, as White House Dossier reports Kommielaa, Stacey Abrams, D.C. mayor Muriel Bowwow…and other “global leaders”…will join serial sex predator Bill Clinton, along with his enabling wife and daughter, as the worldwide criminal enterprise known as the Clinton Foundation hosts college students from around the world for 13th annual Clinton Global Initiative University to discuss…get this…empowering women and girls in the U.S. and around the world.
Two thoughts and one question immediately come to mind: (i) Slick Willy will be scoping out the crowd for his next victim; (ii) Fat Stacey will be eyeing the all-you-can-eat buffets; and, (iii) what will Kommielaa suggest as a means to empower women and girls…kneepads?!?
(7). South Dakota governor Kristi Noem’s performance on Tucker left us so unimpressed we’re scratching her off our list of early favorites for 2024, an opinion shared by Kurt Schlichter. As we told our Uncle Cliffy over dinner last week, there’s a lot of time for candidates to either inspire or disappoint; Kristi went ugly early.
“…Fayetteville’s Andreas Flaten had quit his job at Peachtree City’s A OK Walker Luxury Autoworks in November 2020. He told local WGCL-TV he had been at the automotive repair shop for a year — and had known his boss Miles Walker for eight years — but that “toxic” working conditions had taken a “toll” on him.
He gave his two-weeks notice, writing a letter of resignation to Walker who reportedly promised Flaten’s final $915 check would be paid to him in January. But, come January, the check never arrived and Flaten said his former boss accused him of damages.
…Months later, Flaten and his girlfriend, Olivia Oxley, were leaving his house when he noticed something at the end of his driveway: more than 91,000 oil or grease-covered pennies and an envelope with his final pay stub that was addressed with an explicit message: “F— you!” The pennies weigh more than 500 pounds in total, according to Fox 5 Atlanta, breaking the wheels of Flaten’s wheelbarrow.
Dismayed by the incident, Oxley took to social media with videos of the scene, writing on Facebook that “no one like that deserves to have [a] successful business.”…”
There are two sides to every story, or, as TLJ observed, every coin; but something tells us Ms. Oxley’s assessment of her boyfriend’s former boss is accurate.

This is the pervasive pestilence of Progressivism personified. FYI, Pantene is owned by P&G, which leads us to conclude our boycott of their products was the right course of action.
Tales of The Darkside
Yes, according to 46*, Republicans across the fruited plains are telling him they support unverified voting. Sure, just like all those women and young girls welcomed his groping. What a sorry excuse for a President, and even sorrier excuse for a man.
On the Lighter Side
While not totally accurate regarding the CDC’s guidelines, we appreciate the thought behind Ted’s suggestion to this Progressive propagandist. He should also have been prepared to point out Jen Psaki hasn’t worn a mask at any of her press briefings for over 60 days.
