Flashback: Remember when Rachel Maddow said 'the virus does not infect' vaccinated people? - TheBlaze:
One reason so many Americans have been cautious about the jabs lately is that the new shots don't follow the traditional understanding of how vaccines work: by keeping you from getting whatever bug you've been inoculated against.
You know — the normal understanding of "vaccine."
But what "vaccine" means has been tweaked over the last several months.

Commies demolish and disappear Tiananmen Square statue in attempt to erase history - TheBlaze:
Chinese strongman Xi Jinping and the rest of the communists running China hope to convince the rest of the world that the massacre at Tiananmen Square never happened, while also teaching the formerly free people of Hong Kong a thing or two.
As TheBlaze noted back in October, the regime's latest attempt to erase history — and slap around Hong Kong just to show the city who's boss — was the planned removal of the Pillar of Shame from the campus of the University of Hong Kong.

School cans singing of ‘Jingle Bells’ due to ‘potential to be controversial or offensive’
"An upstate New York elementary school won’t be singing “Jingle Bells” this holiday season as it is potentially “controversial” and “offensive.”
This, according to Council Rock Primary School Principal Matt Tappon, the Rochester Beacon’s Peter Lovenheim reports.
And that’s all Tappon (below, left) had to offer.
And that’s all Tappon (below, left) had to offer.
But Brighton Central School District Assistant Superintendent Allison Rioux told Lovenheim that “some suggest that the use of collars on slaves with bells to send an alert that they were running away is connected to the origin of the song Jingle Bells.”...Read all.
Health expert says COVID cases should no longer be 'major metric' of pandemic, urges shift to hospitalizations, deaths - TheBlaze
Health expert says COVID cases should no longer be 'major metric' of pandemic, urges shift to hospitalizations, deaths - TheBlaze:
"Omicron changes that. This is the shift we've been waiting for in many ways where we're moving to a phase where if you're vaccinated and particularly if you're boosted, you might get an infection. It might be a couple of days of not feeling so great, but you're going to bounce back. That's very different than what we have seen in the past," he continued. "So, I no longer think infections generally should be the major metric."

In just a moment, I am going to ask you to make a $7 donation to the DNC ahead of Friday’s end-of-year fundraising deadline. But before I do, I hope you’ll give me a moment to explain why chipping in is so important to Joe and Kamala’s mission -- and why I’ve never been more committed to our shared fight for progress. With 2022 days away, I can’t help but think back on all that we’ve accomplished this past year -- and just how many firsts we saw. In January, my wife
Kamala became the first woman, the first Black American, and the first
South Asian American to be sworn in as Vice President. Then, with the
help of our Democratic Senate, we confirmed the most diverse Cabinet And earlier this month, I celebrated Hanukkah in the People’s House as the first Jewish spouse of an American president or vice president. These firsts should be celebrated -- but they also serve as reminders of how much work we have ahead. It’s our responsibility to make sure our efforts don’t end here, which is why I’m reaching out to you today...don't read on. |

Entering The American Twilight Zone - American Thinker
Entering The American Twilight Zone - American Thinker
- We didn’t know it then, but on Election Night, November 8, 2020, America entered a Twilight Zone every bit as eerie and unanticipated as anything dreamed up by Rod Serling decades earlier.
"It began with time standing still in the middle of the Election Night vote count
...Virtually every organ and institution of public information joined hands to create a bum’s rush of legitimacy for Scranton Joe’s historic victory. Not only was there an unprecedented (and unbelievable) turn out of voters, with Trump receiving 8 million more votes than any preceding sitting president, while the bumbling, lackluster, boring, invisible Biden, with no hint at any time in his political career of an excited public following, bested Trump by an additional 7 million votes.
This was an electoral miracle that rivaled Moses parting the Red Sea and Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead.
...But the courts remained the three monkeys of denial: See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.
...But the courts remained the three monkeys of denial: See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.
The "catch 22" machine was used to prevent court review of the growing mountain of charges and evidence.
- When warnings of impending election fraud and manipulation had been raised prior to the vote, they were dismissed as being speculative.
- When they were raised and demonstrated after the vote, they were dismissed for being after the fact and too late.

Marine veteran raises $100,000 to 'give back Christmas' to Kentucky kids whose homes were destroyed by deadly tornadoes - TheBlaze:

"Remember how the left not long ago went on and on and on about the supposed “war on women” from the right?...
Christine Rosen dilates this problem wonderfully in the current issue of Commentary in “The New Misogyny.” Key bit:
The misogynistic nature of this revolution has escaped proper scrutiny precisely because it is understood as progressive—as literally better than everything that has come before. And it casts everything that has come before as suspect: All forms of social organization and every idea that denies this movement’s claims have been deemed retrogressive and actively harmful to the forward march of greater rights for all.
This is an audacious form of woman-hatred...
Which brings me back to the story I’ve commented on before of Lia Thomas, the “woman” swimmer at the University of Pennsylvania who is shattering women’s swim records after having competed for three years as an average male swimmer for Penn. This video shows Thomas’s enormous margin of victory in a recent 1,500 meter swim. It is just over two minutes, but you can scroll to about the 1:15 mark and you’ll see the absurd margin of Thomas’s farcical “win” (Thomas marked helpfully with a red arrow in lane 5)—notice especially long it takes for the second-place finisher to come in...read all.
