The rise of a superfluous class of pseudo-elites whose role is to teach and enforce an astro-turfed pseudo-morality manufactured by academics in activist pseudo-disciplines and spread by disordered personalities on social media before becoming entrenched as a pseudo-culture

High school presentation. #LGB.

Blistering Ron DeSantis speech against CRT and forced "equity" training, announcing his STOP Woke Act. He says that if a dirty joke can create a "hostile work environment," so certainly too can corporate-mandated "equity" training in which people are told they're bad because of their race, and his act will companies doing this will expose themselves to the very lawsuits they're trying to avoid.

Huge Headline! Another Muslim college student claims an Unknown White Male (presumably shouting "It's MAGA Country!") tried to tear off her hijab!")

Tiny headline on page D34: University halts investigation as video fails to detect any hijab-grabbing behavior of any kind.


Two defund-the-police Democrats have been carjacked in the past few days. Police call the trend "hysterical."

At the Bee, Elon Musk says "I'm not perverted enough to work for CNN."

The Free Beacon notices that Brandon did a lot of coughing at his covid panic address.

President Joe Biden held a press conference Tuesday to discuss the COVID-19 pandemic and could not stop coughing, according to a Washington Free Beacon video analysis.

"I know you're tired, and I know you're frustrated," Biden said between coughs. "We all want this to be over. But we're still in it."

If Americans are frustrated by the ongoing nature of the pandemic, it might have something to do with the fact that Biden promised he would "shut down the virus" if elected. (Fact check: He has not.)

They also note that Brandon has murdered more people with covid than Trump did, and Brandon murdered them even with the vaccine in hand that Trump supplied him with.

Biden recently celebrated his 79th birthday. His advanced age puts him in the highest risk category for death from COVID-19.

What a terrible thing to say.

Be better, Free Beacon.

Be better.

Rasmussen Reports: Congressional ballot, 48% Republican, 39% Democrat. That actually represents an improvement for Democrats -- they'd trailed by 13 recently.

The FDA has authorized Pfizer's new anti-covid wonder drug, I Can't Believe It's Not Horse Dewormer!

No but seriously I hope it works.

The Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday authorized Pfizer's antiviral pill for the treatment of individuals at high risk of severe illness from COVID-19.

Why it matters: At-home COVID-19 treatments, especially Pfizer's Paxlovid, are seen as possible game-changers for the pandemic. The emergency use authorization comes as the U.S. sees a surge in new COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations largely driven by the Omicron variant.

Driving the news: Pfizer released new data last week confirming Paxlovid reduced the risk of hospitalization or death by 89% in high-risk adults, Axios' Tina Reed reports.

An interim analysis of a second study of the pill has so far shown a 70% reduction in hospitalization among standard-risk adults, Pfizer said.
Pfizer also believes the Paxlovid treatment will work well against the Omicron variant because of the way the drug works.

I know a few people that have covid right now and I hear from them that they know a lot of people who have it. Hopefully it's all the omicron variant.


Which leads to this: Chris Cillizza is melting down like a big fat dough-y baby over the spread of omicron. He just can't with this any longer!

(CNN)

...

Since the word "Omicron" entered our lexicon, every day has been filled with varying levels of stress.

...

Here's the problem. I'm not a public health expert or anything close to it. In fact, because of a long battle -- I'm not sure who is winning at this point -- with health anxiety and compulsive behavior, I am a terrible person to be tasked with making these daily calls.

And yet, here we are. More than 20 months into this nightmare. More than a year after the first vaccine was administered in the United States. More than 800,000 deaths later, it seems there is no end in sight.

I feel emotionally raw. Everything from anger to exhaustion to resignation sits heavier on me now than it did at that Thanksgiving dinner a few weeks ago.

I'm exhausted from the constant not knowing. Each new day feels like it brings a darkening prediction of what the future holds, and I'm tired. I am a creature of habit. I love knowing what the next day will bring. With the pandemic, it feels like the situation is changing by the hour.

And I'm resigned to the fact that none of this is going away anytime soon. The idea that Covid will be in the rear-view mirror by March feels, at this point, quaint. I have watched the goalposts for the end of the pandemic moved so many times that I can't even remember where they were a month ago.

Let's be clear: My life isn't a hardship. I write for a living. I've spent most of the past 20 months working from home. My family has enough to eat and access to good medical care.

But, for me, these past few weeks have been some of the hardest of the entire pandemic. It felt like we were nearing an end, only to be pulled back in.

Now it feels like each new month will be worse than the last.

...

Doom and gloom is not my natural state. I usually love this interregnum between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

That's not how you use that word.

People work, yes, but not all that hard. There's plenty of Christmas cheer to go around and I take great joy in all the "best of" lists that come out this time of year.

Maybe that's why this latest downturn in the news on Covid has hit me so hard. This has always been one of my favorite times of year. Now, it's been filled with dread and foreboding.

I just got an email from Dr. Zachary Smith from Lost in Space.

It reads:

Please see that the attached missive finds its ways into the soft chubby womanly hands of Mr. Chris Cillizza of "CNN."

If you would be so kiiiiind.

* * *

Dear Sir or Madam:

Do stop being such a ridiculous blubbering p*ssyfart.

With warmest regards,

Dr. Smith

PS: The Robot advises you drink 32 ounces of distilled water, so that you don't get dehydrated from all the unmanly crying you're doing, you narrow-shouldered nattering ninny.

I will say Good-Day now.

Good-Day now, Susan.



From the Daily Show. They thought this was a big W for them.

Below is Rebekah Jones, the fabulist who made up silly lies about her own background as a "scientist" bravely detecting Ron DeSantis' cover-up of all the people he was killing with covid.

Now she's running for Congress.

The media covered her intrigues breathlessly until it was proven by the testimony of multiple Democrats that she was just a liar and/or a delusionary person.

The media covered her intrigues breathlessly.

Watch her own campaign commercial (with Larry Sanders music dubbed in by a parodist).

Tell me: does this seem like a mentally-sound person to you? If you were a non-partisan media reporter, would you have run with her evidence-free claims for a year, watching this kind of florid display and labile emotionality?

Not to mention, we are again confronted with her easily-disproven serial lies. She claims it's all this great hoax that she ever hinted that she supports Black Lives Matter burning down stores or keeping schools closed... and the parodist here appends two of her tweets, one stating that BLM has the right to burn America to the ground, the other stating that the Schools. Must. Be. Closed., using. that. period. every. word. thing. that. leftist. Twitter. Lunatics. love. so. much.

The media pushed her lies for a year, as they push any leftwing lunatic's or liar's politically-useful lies.

But you guys say "Let's Go Brandon" and that's so vulgar and disrespectful!!!

Be better, conservatives.

Be better.
