Clarice Feldman - jimmyk reminds us of Tocqueville's warning:...

"jimmyk reminds us of Tocqueville's warning:

'Society will develop a new kind of servitude which covers the surface of society with a network of complicated rules, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate. 
It does not tyrannize but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd'."

4 Life-Threatening Unintended Consequences of the Lockdowns - Foundation for Economic Education

4 Life-Threatening Unintended Consequences of the Lockdowns - Foundation for Economic Education
"When policymakers across the country decided to “lock down” in response to the March outbreak of the novel coronavirus, they took a leap into the unknown.
Not only did we know little about COVID-19 itself at that time, but we knew almost nothing about how shutting down nearly all of society would affect people.
...But in the months since, we’ve seen many other dire consequences stem from the unprecedented shutdown of society.
Future public health policy should take these four life-threatening unintended consequences of COVID-19 lockdowns into account.

Oops: It Looks Like the Vast Majority of Positive COVID Results Should Have Been Negative

Oops: It Looks Like the Vast Majority of Positive COVID Results Should Have Been Negative
"...now we're learning the overwhelming majority of those who have tested positive for the coronavirus should really have been found negative after all.
According to The New York Times, potentially 90 percent of those who have tested positive for COVID-19 have such insignificant amounts of the virus present in their bodies that such individuals do not need to isolate nor are they candidates for contact tracing. 
Leading public health experts are now concerned that overtesting is responsible for misdiagnosing a huge number of people with harmless amounts of the virus in their systems.
...If the coronavirus has made one thing clear, it's that so-called "scientists" and "experts" are wrong all the time. 

• They can't accurately forecast a virus, 
• they tell us different things about the effectiveness of a face mask, 
• they insist the virus can't spread at leftwing protests, and 
• there's a myriad of other examples too long to document here 

showing us the "experts" are really just making it all up as they go along, with their political biases on display for everyone with eyes to see."

Wow! New Yorkers leaving the sinking "ship".

And the dems are proud of this!

Rioting in U.S. Cities—5 Reasons Why Violent Radicals Feel Emboldened | The Heritage Foundation:

The organized violence plaguing Portland and other cities has already lasted longer than Kid Rock’s marriage to Pamela Anderson. And there is no sign that the deliberate attacks will end any time soon.
Indeed, the looting, threats, arson, assaults, intimidation, and extortion seem to be spreading, now reaching into smaller cities and suburbs. Here are five reasons these emboldened and increasingly violent radicals pose a very real threat to safety on our streets and equal protection under the law.

• The scene on Tuesday night was something I had only seen in photos of war-torn countries. Men and women stood with baseball bats, hand-guns, semi-automatic rifles, and shotguns in front of their businesses and homes.

"...Kenosha became a very different place after police shot Jacob Blake in the back seven times. 

...Fire and looting consumed uptown and downtown Kenosha, and Steil said the city was no longer the “Kenosha we know.”
In uptown Kenosha, on Tuesday night, a woman, who said she has lived in Kenosha for more than 40 years, broke down in tears, saying her city felt like a “war zone” and she was “terrified.”

Hillary: ‘Biden Should Not Concede Under Any Circumstances’ - Citizens for Self-Governance
"Those of you who are committed to the peaceful transition of power might want to sit down.

Hillary Clinton recently told Jennifer Palmieri, her former campaign communications director, that Joe Biden will “eventually” win the presidential election and should “not concede under any circumstances.”

That phrase “under any circumstances” is what sounded the alarm for many – sounds a little unAmerican, doesn’t it?  Here’s her full quote:

“Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstances because I think this is gonna’ drag out and eventually I do believe he will win if we don’t give an inch.”

Black Lives Matter protesters exchange gunfire with property owners amid march to DC - TheBlaze

Black Lives Matter protesters exchange gunfire with property owners amid march to DC - TheBlaze:

State police said a property owner contacted authorities just after 11 p.m. about a group of people in a private business parking lot, and troopers later learned about 30 activists had been traveling on foot and in vehicles from Milwaukee to Washington, D.C., the station said.
About 11:35 p.m. at the same location — and prior to police arrival — the property owners confronted the activists, police added, according to WTAE. One police official told reporters that "he had asked them to leave, and they wouldn't leave."

What Fascism in America looks like

Dan Crenshaw 

• This is what fascism looks like

"When leftists like this shout “no justice, no peace,” it’s not about true justice, it’s about power.
Give them power, or they won’t give you peace.
Join the mob, or they won’t give you peace.
Do what they say, when they say it, or they won’t give you peace.
This is fascism."

Biden Supporters Use Guillotine to Chop 'Trump's' Head Off - Louder With Crowder

Biden Supporters Use Guillotine to Chop 'Trump's' Head Off - Louder With Crowder:

I can remember four years ago, people in Indiana had an offensive effigy of Barack Obama in a parade. It became a national news story. All Republicans were forced to denounce it. All Trump supporters were smeared over it, including Trump himself. I bring this up because last night, Biden supporters chopped Donald Trump's head off in effigy, using a guillotine. Because that's how Biden supporters do now....
