Neil Oliver is not a scientist. He's a Scottish news presenter. He doesn't give statistics or cite studies not approved by Facebook's "fact" checkers. He's just a dude -- or I guess a "bloke" -- giving his opinion on something that concerns him. I'm actually surprised the UK didn't have him arrested mid-sentence for "misinformation."
Since here in America our president is launching a new round of panic porn to scare citizens, I feel Oliver's monologue is something for all of us to listen to and consider.

How to Tell the Difference Between Real Education and Propaganda | Intellectual Takeout
"The other day I ran across a passage from That Hideous Strength which seems oddly applicable to our time. A dystopian novel written by C. S. Lewis at the close of World War II, That Hideous Strength finds one of its main characters, Mark Studdock, working for N.I.C.E., an organization which pulls the strings in a controlling, totalitarian society.
Studdock is assigned to write propaganda articles for N.I.C.E., an assignment which he objects to when he receives it from his boss, Miss Hardcastle. Studdock argues that it won’t work because newspapers “are read by educated people” too smart to be taken in by propaganda. The story continues:
‘That shows you’re still in the nursery, lovey,’ said Miss Hardcastle. ‘Haven’t you yet realized that it’s the other way round?’
‘How do you mean?’
‘Why you fool, it’s the educated reader who can be gulled. All our difficulty comes with the others. When did you meet a workman who believes the papers? He takes it for granted that they’re all propaganda and skips the leading articles. He buys his paper for the football results and the little paragraphs about girls falling out of windows and corpses found in Mayfair flats. He is our problem. We have to recondition him. But the educated public, the people who read the high-brow weeklies, don’t need reconditioning. They’re all right already. They’ll believe anything.’
Reading this, I couldn’t help but ponder how much of the American public thinks like Studdock...Read all.

Root did it himself, resigning his chairmanship but not his position as a commissioner, after a failed attempt to give COVID-19 relief funds to elected officials, including $25,000 to himself.

Forgotten Fact Checks: Fauci, Rand Paul, Cuba, and More | National Review:
The National Institutes of Health, the department in which the NIAID is housed, has funded research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology that by any reasonable definition should be categorized as gain of function research. As Dr. Richard Ebright, an expert on laboratory safety put it:
Obedience Fatigue
Obedience Fatigue
"Americans are an obedient people, especially when summoned in response to a national crisis.
"Americans are an obedient people, especially when summoned in response to a national crisis.
Citizens bought war bonds to support U.S. soldiers fighting enemies overseas...
...Obedience, however, depends on a fragile bond of trust, and our national leaders have recklessly tested the limits of that bond during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The limits, although elastic, are nearing the breaking point.
In the guise of fighting a public health emergency, the public has endured a de facto national quarantine (even for healthy adults), business closures (many of them likely to be permanent), the shuttering of schools, bans on worship services, social distancing mandates, and of course the now-ubiquitous—but previously unheard of—command to wear face masks in public.
- Dr. Anthony Fauci, who as Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases serves as the nation’s COVID czar, began the flip-flopping in early 2020, when he mandated the wearing of masks, after previously opining on the news show 60 Minutes that “There’s no reason to be walking around with a mask.”
- In fact, Fauci went even further, suggesting that mask-wearing could be counter-productive for the general public.
- ...Fauci even suggested that the public would be safer wearing two masks in public (contrary to CDC guidelines), before quickly reversing himself and admitting that “There’s no data that indicates that that is going to make a difference.”
...But the COVID-19 debacle is not yet over.
Fauci refuses to give up the influence he has held for over a year.
Requiring or recommending the public wear masks—even at outdoor events and even after being fully-vaccinated—has moved beyond any semblance of “science,” and is now purely an instrument of social control.
Benjamin Franklin famously remarked that “They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.”...Read all.

San Francisco Tenants Being Paid to Leave Apartment Expose Problems with California's Rent Control Policies
"A wealthy San Francisco couple notched a record nearly half-million-dollar buyout to vacate their luxury apartment of three decades, underscoring the lengths some landlords will go to to get rid of long-term tenants in a city with strict rent control and soaring market rents.
The $475,000 voluntary buyout is considered to be the largest in city history and reflects the high value of the apartment.
...That means landlords can only raise rent on some properties a certain amount each year, with the current increase pegged at under 1 percent...Read all.

New FBI Initiative Will Put "Hate Crime" Quotas On Local Law Enforcement - National Justice
- The Department of Justice and the FBI have a message for local police departments: start charging more white people with hate crimes or invite an investigation.
- Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta told an assembly of FBI agents yesterday that they are now tasked with hounding police departments in their district if they do not register any "hate crimes."
- Gupta and FBI Deputy Assistant Director of the Criminal Investigative Division Jay Greenberg have declared "hate crimes" by "racially motivated violent extremists" (a euphemism generally reserved for right-wing white men) to be a national threat priority -- a rare designation.

Members of Congress received a bulletin from Capitol Police Chief Thomas Manger, which declared that face masks must be worn "at all times" on the House side of the Capitol complex. The new mask mandate states that everyone must wear face masks starting Thursday, even those who are fully vaccinated.

The Three Horsemen of the Bidenapocalypse - American Thinker
The Three Horsemen of the Bidenapocalypse - American Thinker--By Clarice Feldman
"In the Bible, there were four horsemen of the apocalypse -- sword, famine, wild beasts, and plague.
In the Biden Administration, there are three events spelling the doom of this administration and the Democrats: open border policy, inflation, and coercive unscientific public health measures. ..
- The Immigration Debacle
It’s only going to get worse for the administration...
- The Biden Inflation
You also have to be an idiot to believe that cheap borrowing and flooding the nation with federal funds will not lead to inflation, especially when coupled with regulatory actions certain to raise prices. Or to believe that it will be of short duration...
- ...Coercive (and Inconsistent) COVID policies
Is your head spinning from the CDC diktats? It should be. Jim Treacher summarizes the reasons why.
We got some new COVID-19 rules yesterday. They were different than the rules we got the day before that, and I assume they’re different than the rules we’ll get tomorrow.
To recap:
- Absolutely do not wear a mask
- You must, must, must wear a mask or you’re killing Grandma
- Don’t leave the house or you’re killing Grandma
- If you can’t avoid leaving the house, stay at least six feet away from any other human being you see or you’re killing Grandma
- Wash your hands 20 times a day
- Do not touch your face or anything else, ever
- Get vaccinated so you don’t have to wear a mask
- You have to wear a mask even if you’re vaccinated
- When the above rules change, and then change back, and then change back again, shut up about it or you’re a stupid MAGA-head
- Don’t forget to vote Democrat.

He delivered a highly animated interview Monday trying to bait freshman Republican U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds of Florida into a verbal fight, which failed to launch due to Donalds' calm, cool handling of the host's combative tone.
And Cuomo was back for more action Wednesday, going head to head with Tony Roman, owner of Italian restaurant Basilico's Pasta e Vino in Huntington Beach, California, who posted a front-door sign requiring that patrons provide "proof of being UNvaccinated."

Report Reveals Huge Double Standards For Bringing Rioters To Justice
Report Reveals Huge Double Standards For Bringing Rioters To Justice
- The sheer similarities and differences between the treatment of the 2020 rioters compared to the treatment of the January 6 riot rioters are shocking.
"One would think a major report from a group representing America’s top law enforcement leaders analyzing the widespread riots of 2020 would have garnered significant media attention.
One also would think such a report would garner widespread discussion after the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capital due to the parallels between it and the 2020 riots. 
Given our hyper-partisan environment, however, one would be woefully wrong.
Specifically, back in October 2020, the Major Cities Chiefs (MCC) released a comprehensive report full of data from dozens of cities that provides deep insights into the 2020 riots that plagued America after George Floyd’s death in Minnesota.
...A core foundation of our country rests on the people believing there is equality under the law.
The dissimilar treatment of 2020 rioters and January 6 rioters is fracturing that foundation more with each passing day.
