As you start your work week, here’s a little reminder as to how your slavemasters spend the wealth that you create on their behalf.

Last year, Joe Biden unconditionally surrendered to the Taliban, which had hosted the 9/11 terrorist atrocities. The abrupt, incompetent retreat cost us $billions in military equipment and an unknown number of American lives.

We are not done paying.

The site ForeignAssistance.gov was created to fulfill the requirements of the Foreign Aid Transparency and Accountability Act of 2016. It reveals that as of December 9, the US government had given $3,802,198,798 to Taliban-ruled Afghanistan so far in 2022 — more than twice what it gave to the country last year, despite it being controlled by our allies until August 15.

Just as our tax dollars probably helped finance the creation of Covid thanks to Tony Fauci, they will help fund the next major terror attack launched from Afghanistan. With people like Sam Brinton in charge of nuclear waste disposal, it is likely to involve a dirty bomb that will make September 11 look like a traffic accident.

Twitter degenerated into a propaganda tool of the Democratic Party prior to Elon Musk’s takeover due to the quality of its employees, which appears to have been on a level with Disney. For example:

Twitter owner Elon Musk is going scorched-earth on the company’s former head of Trust & Safety, Yoel Roth. On Saturday, Musk responded to the resurfacing of this 2010 tweet from Roth linking to a Salon article asking if high school students can “meaningfully” consent to sex with their teachers.

Can high school students ever meaningfully consent to sex with their teachers? http://bit.ly/bbpH68

— Yoel Roth (@yoyoel) November 20, 2010

That the question even needs to be asked tells you a lot about the mindset of the man who, until recently, headed up Twitter’s Ministry of Truth — the same company that banned the use of the word “groomer” in July.

That the word “groomer” is accurate is confirmed by the groomers who want it struck from the Newspeak Dictionary. Calling groomers “groomers” was explicitly defined by Twitter as “hateful conduct. Libs of TikTok — which became famous for exposing LGBT groomers in the public school system — was repeatedly suspended.

Musk replied with a bombshell quote from Roth’s Ph.D. thesis — which was focused on the gay hook-up platform Grindr.

Roth proposed that raunchy sites catering to deviant sexual hookups “accommodate” children. This would be accomplished by “safely connecting queer young adults” — i.e., facilitating homosexual activity between children who don’t know each other. No word from Tony Fauci on how this might help contain HIV and other viruses.

Small wonder Twitter let child sexual exploitation stand even as it censored news stories that hurt Democrats.

Musk has been wise to purge most of his workforce. Afterward, he should have the offices fumigated.

Biden’s handlers have appointed a Deputy Coordinator to help oversee the official response to monkeypox, an STD spread almost exclusively by homosexuals. Demetre Daskalakis is what you might expect:

Suspicions inspired by the Dark Brandon speech that there is something satanic about the current regime are confirmed:

Daskalakis will bring to monkeypox the clear-eyed, coherent response Tony Fauci has applied to Covid. From Daily Wire:

“[S]ignaling to people who are in the gay, bisexual, other men who have sex with men communities, and also transgender people who have sex with men, that it’s really important to have awareness, that it’s circulating in the community is really a critical part of the messaging while not generating inordinate concern and really focusing on the infection as linked to an identity,” [Daskalakis] said. “So it’s just an infection that’s not linked to an identity. It just happens to be in the social network.”

So much for limiting the spread of the disease by addressing its cause.

His résumé is impressive by Biden Administration standards. Via Daily Caller:

Daskalakis operated an HIV and hepatitis screening clinic out of a small office inside a Manhattan S&M club called Paddles, where men could pay $40 to party without their coats or clothes, according to the Atlantic. He also dressed in drag to administer meningitis vaccines at sex clubs and bath houses during an outbreak in New York City, NBC News reported. In an interview with The Atlantic, he claims to have learned his bedside manner from “East Village drag queens.”

The most crucial qualification is to be on the correct page politically:

“To end the epidemic, we must have a clear focus on the STI and hepatitis [epidemics] and we must address the systemic racism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia that hamper our progress,” Daskalakis once said to Advocate, referring to HIV.

No doubt racism, sexism, yadda yadda yadda are also the root cause of monkeypox.

Daskalakis has emphasized his desire to “dismantle stigma” against depraved, degenerate behavior that spreads diseases like HIV and monkeypox. That is, he will encourage spreading the disease.

As least he will fit in smoothly with his coworkers. The Biden Administration also features the creepy cross-dressers Richard I mean Rachel Levine (who defends sex change surgery for children) and Sam Brinton (who defends underage gay prostitution), as well as the intersectionally privileged lesbian immigrant of color Karine Jean-Pierre.

The sun will explode in a supernova before America has time to live down letting Biden and his handlers run the country.

Despite explicitly promising us that the vaccine would prevent us from getting Covid, quadruple-vaxxed Joe Biden has Covid himself, just like quadruple-vaxxed Tony Fauci has twice. Both belong to the group at most serious risk of dying from Covid; Biden is 79 and Fauci is 81. Both are still with us, further discrediting the hysterical overreaction that enabled Covid tyranny. Yet even now, well over 2 years into “15 days to slow the spread,” degrading and unhygienic mask mandates are starting up again.

Paul Joseph Watson has had enough:

Only one thing can make Covid go away: a critical mass of gullible fools taking the imaginary climate crisis seriously enough that they will submit to the level of oppression that has been imposed in the name of Covid. That’s when our rulers will drop Covid and put their entire emphasis on global warming hysteria.

Public resistance in the Netherlands and Sri Lanka has been a setback in this regard.

After Tony Fauci, Francis Collins, et al. funded the communist Chinese gain of function research that produced Covid — resulting in millions of deaths and $trillions in economic damage — you might think our globalist liberal ruling class would learn a lesson. Maybe they did — but not the right kind of lesson. Bill Gates continues to shovel money at ChiCom scientists:

A recent, $100,000 grant from the Microsoft mogul’s foundation was sent to the Foreign Talent Research Center of China’s Ministry of Science and Technology in June, according to the organization’s website.

The Foreign Talent Research Center is involved in recruiting talent worldwide to help the ChiComs in their projects.

Beyond COVID-19, the Chinese Communist Party has also come under fire for weaponizing its science and technology programs to lure Western scientists away from their home countries in order to facilitate Chinese advancement and military build-up. This program – commonly known as the Thousand Talents Plan – has led to several Department of Justice (DOJ) indictments of American researchers who routinely fail to disclose their financial ties to the Chinese Communist Party despite receiving U.S. taxpayer funds.

How nice for them that they receive funds not only from American taxpayers, but also directly from American moonbats like Bill Gates, who has poured $millions into Chinese institutions, some with ties to the infamous Wuhan Institute of Virology.

There are even worse things Gates could do with his money:

On a tip from Blackjack.

With Covid winding down, our moonbat overlords turn their attention to a crisis that is not merely blown out of proportion but entirely fabricated: the allegedly planet-threatening anthropogenic climate catastrophe. Dissidents were forbidden from deviating from the official party line on Covid. The same will go for the global warming hoax. Pinterest has already made it official:

Pinterest on Wednesday announced a new policy prohibiting users from sharing climate misinformation on its platform, making it the rare social platform to ban such content outright.

“Misinformation” is a word you didn’t hear much when this was a free country that respected open discussion. The term is a tool of totalitarians, begging the obvious question of who decides what thoughts and observations are “misinformation.”

If you don’t swallow the global warming hoax hook, line, and sinker, anything you might say is liable to be deemed misinformation by the moonbat apparatchiks at Pinterest.

Pinterest, a service where users can bookmark and share visual posts, said it will remove content that denies the existence or impacts of climate change as well as the role of humans in causing climate change. It also plans to take action on false or misleading content about climate change solutions, content misrepresenting scientific data that could erode trust in experts, and harmful false or misleading content about climate change-related public safety emergencies.

So that’s how the liberal establishment will prevent further erosion of trust in The Experts. Not by holding Tony Fauci types accountable for their lies, but by forbidding criticism.

Snickering at the notion that there is such a thing as “climate change-related public safety emergencies” no doubt counts as misinformation.

The platform will also ban ads containing false information or conspiracy theories related to climate change.

A “conspiracy theory” is any narrative not promoted by the liberal establishment.

Pinterest has already been an arm of the Ministry of Truth:

In 2017, Pinterest rolled out a policy prohibiting health misinformation such as anti-vaccine content. It has since expanded the policy to include misinformation and conspiracy theories about elections and other civic activities.

Don’t like election fraud? Keep your thoughts to yourself or stay off Pinterest.

“Civic activities” no doubt include looting local stores and tearing down statues of George Washington on behalf of Black Lives Matter.

Social media platforms are increasingly facing scrutiny for their role in the spread of climate change misinformation. In November, more than 200 climate scientists, activists and organizations fighting disinformation signed an open letter addressed to the heads of Facebook, Instagram, Google, Twitter, Pinterest and Reddit calling on them to implement climate misinformation policies similar to their “robust Covid-19” policies.

Progressives know their malign and sophomoric ideology, based upon lies, will not fare well in open debate. So “robust” policies must be employed to shut up their opponents.

The term “facing scrutiny” is particularly alarming. This implies that climate grifters (I mean “scientists”), activists, and of course the media will call upon the Democrat Party to force Big Tech to silence dissent — not that arms will need to be twisted very hard in Silicon Valley, a homogenously left-wing institution with zero respect for fundamental American principles like free speech.

Google last year said it would no longer allow climate change deniers to profit on its platforms.

Liberal politicians pretend that the climate will not change if only we allow them to suppress domestic energy production, submit to driving inefficient electric moonbatmobiles, et cetera. Doesn’t that make them “climate deniers”? The climate is going to fluctuate no matter what we do. Only leftists imply otherwise.

The problem with Covid was that it couldn’t last forever. Not so with the climate crisis. Even if it gets colder, The Experts will say that the cold is caused by warmth. The potential for tyranny is limited only by our willingness to put up with it.

Resistance starts with laughing at any dupe who takes the imaginary crisis seriously.

On a tip from Bluto.

Leave no man behind — unless you are Commander in Chief Joe Biden. Then you can leave 9,000 Americans behind, at the mercy of vociferously hostile terrorist savages.

That’s right, 9,000:

As many as 9,000 American citizens were left in Afghanistan when the U.S. military withdrew from the country Aug. 31, according to a report released Thursday by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

That is three times as many who died on the terror attacks launched with the assistance of the Taliban on 9/11. It might be better to have an airliner flown into your office than be an American captured by the Taliban. Osama bin Laden was a small time punk compared to the Big Guy.

The report, signed by Foreign Relations ranking member Jim Risch of Idaho, reveals that State Department officials believed that between 10,000 and 15,000 Americans were in Afghanistan as late as Aug. 17. In the next two weeks, only 6,000 Americans were able to escape the country ahead of the Taliban takeover. In testimony in front of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, however, Blinken claimed that “approximately 100-150 remained in Afghanistan who still wished to depart.”

If only lying to Congress were a crime. The gerbil Blinken and Tony Fauci could be cellmates.

Given the massive federal intelligence apparatus that is probably aware you are reading this, it is hard to believe the government does not know exactly how many Americans Biden turned over to the Taliban. But we will never know the true number, just as we will never know the potentially horrific fates of those who never make it out.

Contributing [to] the failure was the Biden administration’s lack of preparation for the execution of the withdrawal. National security officials were still working to formulate a withdrawal plan a day before Kabul fell to the Taliban, despite the fact that Biden announced that American forces would withdraw from Afghanistan four months before the collapse of the U.S.-allied government.

Incompetence and treason can be indistinguishable in their effect.

Despite these logistical failures, as well as the death of 13 American service members in an ISIS-K terrorist attack, the Biden administration has claimed its withdrawal efforts a success.

If that was success, do you want to know what failure looks like? Then stand by while Biden starts a war with Russia in an attempt to buck up his poll numbers.

In the Soviet Union, dissidents were often locked up in insane asylums, as if you would have to be crazy to question a government founded on the doctrine of Karl Marx. Marx was right about one thing: “History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce.”

From the Daily Mail, via MSN:

A medical board in Maine has suspended the license of an MIT-educated doctor and ordered a psychiatric evaluation after she was accused of treating some of her patients with Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine and spreading misinformation about COVID-19.

Internist Dr Meryl Nass must be insane if she doesn’t believe in the Science as defined this week by Tony Fauci et al.

Dr Nass stands accused of straying from the official Covid narrative on her blog and Twitter.

Nass’ suspension also stems from treating her COVID-stricken patients with Ivermectin, which is an anti-parasite drug used predominantly on animals, and with Hydroxychloroquine, even though the Food and Drug Administrator had revoked an emergency use authorization for the malaria drug because it may not be effective against the coronavirus.

Too bad ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine actually do appear to be effective at mitigating Covid. Otherwise, the authorities could just produce information proving that Nass is wrong, rather than having to treat her like a lunatic.

Meanwhile, in Canada, Drs Melvin Bruchet and Daniel Nagase…

…filed criminal charges against elected and appointed Canadian government officials in British Columbia over a possible conflict of interest regarding provincial lockdowns, vaccine mandates, and vaccine passports.

The doctors exposed a severe spike in stillbirths at a Vancouver hospital.

In all cases, the women had been injected with a Covid vaccine.

After Dr Bruchet got in an argument with a tenant over noisy music, authorities dragged off the 81-year-old in handcuffs for a psychiatric evaluation. They diagnosed him first with “frontal lobe dementia” and then with “mania.” Bruchet was apparently placed on antipsychotic medication, as was done to discredit dissidents in the USSR.

Formerly, insane asylums were used to keep violent lunatics off the streets. Nowadays, lunatics are allowed to run amok. The asylums might still be useful though.

Whether Drs Nass and Bruchet suffer psychiatric issues other than their recalcitrant attitudes is unclear.

The Supreme Court has been debating whether to endorse Biden’s exploitation of federal agencies to circumvent our constitutional republican form of government in the name of Covid hysteria. This has revealed at least one Justice to be a clueless fool. I refer to the self-described “wise Latina,” Obama-appointed identity group box-checker Sonia Sotomayor.

The Blaze reports:

While hearing oral arguments for and against President Joe Biden’s employer vaccine mandate, Sotomayor claimed that 100,000 children in the United States are hospitalized and in “serious condition” with COVID-19.

Even the moonbats at PolitiFact gasped at that whopper:

“At the time she made this comment, federal data showed that fewer than 5,000 coronavirus-positive children were in the hospital. In fact, fewer than 83,000 children have been hospitalized for COVID-19 — cumulatively — since August 2020.”

It is probable that the vast majority of hospitalized coronavirus-positive children have been suffering from unrelated conditions, if not for which they would never have known they had Covid.

PolitiFact had no choice but to rate Sotomayor’s silly claim false, although it withheld its “Pants of Fire” rating, probably out of respect for her leftist orientation. It ignored her erroneous statement that “Omicron is as deadly as Delta.” Even Tony Fauci, the face of technocracy, admits that it is not.

Sotomayor’s fellow leftist Stephen Breyer deserves a Pants on Fire rating too, for suggesting that a vaccine mandate would prevent all Covid cases. It has been common knowledge for some time that the virus spreads among the vaccinated. Breyer also claimed that “750 million new cases” had been reported in the USA on Thursday. The population of the USA is 330 million.

As for the other hardcore moonbat on the Court, National File reports:

Justice Elena Kagan falsely claimed that the best way to stop the transmission of COVID-19 was by strongly incentivising people to get injected with vaccines and wear masks.

Masks do not stop the spread of Covid.

Good thing it is not the job of these three stooges to set healthcare policy; they are not well informed on the issue. Unfortunately, they may be just as unqualified to rule sensibly on whether Biden’s decrees are lawful and constitutional.

Liberal WaPo gave Sotomayor 4 Pinocchios for her ludicrous assertion that 100,000 American children are in serious condition with Covid.

Either Sotomayor is dumb enough to believe her own wild claim, or she is dumb enough to believe that everyone else is dumb enough. Either way, it is disturbing to have someone with her radical viewpoint and limited cognitive capacity in a position of such power.

Still more alarming is how liberals shift the debate from “Should Biden exercise unlimited power through federal bureaucracies like OSHA?” to “Is Covid a big enough problem to justify throwing the American system of government overboard in favor of authoritarianism?”

On tips from Varla, Mr. Freemarket, and Dragon’s Lair.

Our rulers have learned from the ongoing Covid overreaction that any extreme of tyranny — no matter how outrageously intrusive and repressive — can be excused if it is inflicted in the name of public health. They cannot maintain Covid hysteria indefinitely, especially not with Omicron appearing to indicate that it is petering out into the common cold. No worries; any problem real or imaginary can become a health crisis by waving the magic wand of postmodernism, according to which reality is determined by the words used to describe it.

Some thought no one could top the Covid tyranny of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who earned the adoration of the liberal establishment by crushing small business in the name of the virus, meanwhile killing thousands of seniors by forcing nursing homes to take in Covid patients. His replacement Kathy Hochul proved otherwise, declaring a state of emergency over the mild Omicron variant.

Soon even Hochul will have to admit that Omicron is no crisis. So now the health crisis is racism. This is official, Hochul having signed legislation:

“For far too long, communities of color in New York have been held back by systemic racism and inequitable treatment,” Hochul said. “I am proud to sign legislation that addresses this crisis head-on, addressing racism, expanding equity, and improving access for all.”

As the existence of this legislation indicates, the notion that there is significant racism against anyone other than whites in the USA is a preposterous lie. Imagine any governor signing a law explicitly intended to benefit Caucasians. It could not happen in this country.

Hochul signed a package of legislation on December 23 containing six bills that declare the public health crisis and implement ways to address it. Legislation S.70-A/A.2230 enacted the hate crimes analysis and review act, which gives law enforcement guidelines for the collection and reporting of demographic data for hate crime victims and alleged perpetrators.

You can see why people have been escaping New York in droves. Unfortunately, leftist lunacy has taken root at the federal level.

Hochul is likely following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) lead. CDC Director Rochelle Walensky declared racism a “serious public health threat” in April.

The CDC already has the power to suspend rent payments, effectively seizing the property of all landlords without due process — and that started with a Republican in the White House. Imagine what steps it might take to cure us of our allegedly racist attitudes.

“What we know is this: racism is a serious public health threat that directly affects the well-being of millions of Americans,” Walensky said. “As a result, it affects the health of our entire nation.”

The CDC has also identified the firearms and the imaginary climate crisis as threats to public health.

Multiple cities have already taken the absurd yet terrifying step of declaring “racism” — i.e., political incorrectness— to be a public health crisis, including Chicago, Boston, Louisville, and of course, New York City. Like Covid in a ChiCom laboratory, radical moonbattery is engineered in the petri dishes of dying cities before it is unleashed on the rest of us.

Fascism no longer looks like rock-jawed Benito Mussolini in jackboots. Now it looks like Tony Fauci in a lab coat.

On tips from Anonymous and Wiggins.

Desperately as authoritarians cling to Covid, the mild and highly transmissible Omicron variant is likely to put an end to the pandemic as anything that can be hyped into an exploitable crisis. Our ruling class already has the next emergency lined up; they will place renewed emphasis on the global warming hoax.

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) isn’t the only one who thinks dissidents should be imprisoned for contradicting the current Democrat Party line on climate change. Mark Dice has no problem finding average morons on the street who agree with this policy:

Ironically, it is actually the moonbats who deny climate change, by pretending that the climate does not always change, no matter how much taxation and regulation are imposed by Democrats.

Maybe Bill Nye the Pseudoscience Guy will assume the role of Tony Fauci in the coming climate crackdown. As Karl Marx should have said, history repeats itself, first as farce, second as even more absurd farce.

Watch Nye argue in favor of imprisoning those who dispute the global warming hoax:

As an added bonus for liberal readers who might find Nye appealing, here he is pushing the budget-busting Build Back Better blowout in the name of climate ideology:

Being ruled by people who think that was “awesome” is not an option.

On a tip from KirklesWorth.

Considering the misery, havoc, and tyranny it has resulted in — not to mention 5 million deaths — you would think people would want confirmation that Covid was designed in a ChiCom laboratory with the help of funding from US taxpayers. But the liberal establishment, conspicuously including the media, has been uninterested in pursuing this. Neil Bush explains why: because it doesn’t matter where the virus came from.

Bush is the son of one US president and the brother of another. He is also founder and Chairman of the George H. W. Bush Foundation for U.S.-China Relations, which recently cohosted an online forum the Center for China and Globalization (CCG).

The National Pulse reports:

The CCG is a key group within the Chinese Communist Party’s United Front Work Department (UFWD), a systematic foreign influence operation seeking “to co-opt and neutralize sources of potential opposition to the policies and authority of its ruling Chinese Communist Party” and influence Westerners to “take actions or adopt positions supportive of Beijing’s preferred policies,” according to the U.S. government.

To quote Neil Bush:

“Whether [Covid] originated in a lab or from a bat or from the United States or from wherever – who cares?”

Or as Shrillary might shriek, “What difference, at this point, does it make?”

Despite his willful ignorance regarding the origins of the ChiCom virus, Bush is blithely confident that it was not released on purpose, which he dismisses as “a crazy notion.” But given the devastating effect Covid has had in the West due to exploitative overreaction by authoritarians, the virus has worked out well for the ambitious Xi Jinping. Even if they didn’t release Covid deliberately, that may not be the case with the next virus they design. That’s why it is important to confirm that Covid is manmade, and to stop Tony Fauci et al. from funding research by our enemies that is applicable to biological warfare.

Neil Bush demonstrates that even if a fish rots from the head, our problem goes far deeper than Joe Biden or even his corrupt party. It has seeped throughout our ruling class, and will require serious measures to eradicate.

On a tip from Blackjack.

Flawed ideologies can be debunked by extending their precepts to their logical conclusions. This is called “reductio ad absurdum.” For example, liberalism is exposed as a joke by applying human rights to hippopotamuses:

The offspring of hippos once owned by Colombian drug kingpin Pablo Escobar can be recognized as people or “interested persons” with legal rights in the U.S. following a federal court order.

The ruling does not apply in Colombia, where the invasive hippos are breeding wildly and causing havoc, so that authorities want to kill or sterilize them. But it could have legal consequences closer to home.

In the suit, attorneys for the Animal Legal Defense Fund asked the U.S. District Court in Cincinnati to give “interested persons” status to the hippos…

Federal magistrate Judge Karen Litkovitz in Cincinnati granted the request on Oct. 15. The animal rights group based near San Francisco said it believes it’s the first time animals have been declared legal persons in the U.S.

This is heading in an alarming direction for moonbat demigod Tony Fauci, who is said to bear responsibility for funding sadistic experiments on dogs and monkeys.

If applied consistently, left-wing ideology would cave in on itself, leaving nothing but a black hole of absurdity. So moonbats avoid consistency. Whereas hippopotamuses qualify as people, prenatal humans do not. Leftists are not consistent even in their absence of compassion regarding abortion. Municipal employees of hyperliberal Portland qualify for bereavement leave if they feel blue after killing their babies.

On tips from KirklesWorth and Mr. Freemarket.

If our ruling class were responsible, sensible, and honest, it would admit that the Covid pandemic is over. The ChiCom virus is now endemic. People should be advised to take commonsense precautions but get on with their lives. However, our rulers are anything but responsible, sensible, or honest. They don’t like to let a crisis go to waste, as Obamunist Rahm Emanuel noted, because a crisis is “an opportunity to do things … you could not do before.” That’s why leftists are extending the crisis for as long as possible.

Yale University’s Nicholas Christakis proclaims that we are only at the “end of the beginning” of Covid hysteria and the tyranny it enables. He says the crisis can be milked by authoritarians until at least 2024:

Australia would not be investing in Covid concentration camps if they were willing to let this go any time soon.

Speaking of Australia, Chief Health Officer Kerry Chant is the Tony Fauci of New South Wales. She has forbidden Australians from speaking to each other and does not intend for their lives ever to go back to normal. Now she proclaims that her subjects may be forced to wear obedience muzzles in the name of Covid for years:

In the absence of sufficient pushback, there is no reason for our rulers not to keep this up indefinitely — or at least until the ChiComs leak the next engineered virus.
