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.
The American people were being treated to a legal system that could have been devised by Franz Kafka; a literal nightmare of injustice...Read all!

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

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.

Supreme Court schedules January 7 oral arguments in challenges to Biden vaccine mandates - CNNPolitics:
Several lower courts have said that the requirement exceeded the authority Congress had given the secretary, while other judges have backed its legality.
The mandate for large employers had also been found to be an executive branch overreach by one appeals court, the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals, which blocked the mandate nationwide earlier this year. But its decision was reversed by the 6th US Circuit Court of Appeals last Friday, in a ruling that said the government could implement the requirements.

"Apart from its legislative and regulatory policies, the administration is doing everything it can to hamper the production of conventional fuels.
The standard, and oft used, countermeasure is to seek judicial relief from nonsensical overreach, which takes a lot of time and money, but several states this week showed a more creative side, and it’s a good thing in my book.
At the Federalist, Tristan Justice details the administration’s misguided actions which prompted the response:
President Joe Biden has been aggressive in quickly curtailing oil and gas development as promised on the campaign trail. Beyond the illegal suspension of new leases on federal land, the prohibition of new drilling sites on major untapped reserves, and higher fees in the pipeline for new energy exploration permits, however, it’s the administration’s pressure on Wall Street to refuse investment in the capital-intense industry that’s dealt the biggest blow to producers, spiking prices at the pump in the process.

Read The Christmas Letter Gen. McAuliffe Sent His Surrounded, Outnumbered Troops In Bastogne, 1944 | The Daily Caller
"Surrounded and greatly outnumbered, the men of the 101st Airborne Division were not expecting a merry Christmas in Bastogne, Belgium, in 1944.
The German army had already begun a brutal offensive against the entrapped Americans, and on Dec. 22, under a white flag, messengers had delivered the German general’s demand of unconditional surrender.

"Surrounded and greatly outnumbered, the men of the 101st Airborne Division were not expecting a merry Christmas in Bastogne, Belgium, in 1944.
...McAuliffe then penned a letter to his own troops, in recognition of the imminent holiday, informing them of the events that had transpired.
McAuliffe’s letter began under the simple header, “Merry Christmas.”
What’s Merry about all this, you ask? We’re fighting — it’s cold, we aren’t home. All true but what has the proud Eagle Division accomplished with its worthy comrades the 10th Armored Division, the 705th Tank Destroyer Battalion and all the rest? Just this: We have stopped cold everything that has been thrown at us from the North, East, South and West. We have identifications from four German Panzer Divisions, two German Infantry Divisions and one German Parachute Division. These units, spearheading the last desperate German lunge, were headed straight west for key points when the Eagle Division was hurriedly ordered to stem the advance. How effectively this was done will be written in history; not alone in our Division’s glorious history but in World history. The Germans actually did surround us, their radios blared our doom. Their Commander demanded our surrender in the following impudent arrogance:
McAuliffe then included the text of the letter he had received from the German commanding officer, demanding the surrender of American troops in Bastogne and promising the destruction of the city — and civilian casualties — if the Americans did not surrender within two hours’ time.
There is only one possibility to save the encircled U. S. A. Troops from total annihilation: that is the honorable surrender of the encircled town. In order to think it over a term of two hours will be granted beginning with the presentation of this note.
If this proposal should be rejected the German Artillery Corps and six heavy A. A. Battalions are ready to annihilate the U. S. A. Troops in and near Bastogne. The order for firing will be given immediately after this two hour’s term..The German Commander.

Why Is the Left Suddenly Worried About End of Democracy?:
What is behind recent pessimistic appraisals of democracy’s future, from Hillary Clinton, Adam Schiff, Brian Williams, and other elite intellectuals, media personalities, and politicians on the left? Some are warning about its possible erosion in 2024. Others predict democracy’s downturn as early 2022, with scary scenarios of “autocracy” and former President Donald Trump “coups.”
To answer that question, understand first what is not behind these shrill forecasts.
