.@JeffreyToobin: Trump’s criticism of Antifa is … racist hotair.com/archives/2018/…
What. Is. He. Talking. About.

And why is he so farking smug about it? It’s one thing to be smug about your area of expertise, but to be smug when you’re palpably misinformed? Good lord.
I know, I know: “It’s Jeffrey Toobin. Smug is his default mode.”

Needless to say to anyone who actually pays attention to Antifa, the group is emphatically not “widely perceived as an African-American organization.”
Really the opposite. The stereotype is that it’s overwhelmingly white, basically Berniebros gone rancid who are more likely to come from middle-class or upscale households than not. (They have their fair share of trust-fund babies in the ranks too, no doubt.)
Think of them as a modern, if momentarily less lethal, analogue to the Weather Underground, progressive radicals willing to go the extra mile to prove their seriousness of purpose.
They’re descendants of the masked black-bloc rodents who tore up Seattle during the 1999 WTO. Their clothing is black but their skin is exceedingly, almost uniformly white.
It’s weird that a network like CNN with a gigantic, seemingly inexhaustible supply of contributors would turn to their resident legal analyst for thoughts on the racial make-up of Antifa, but that’s cable news for you.
Everyone’s qualified to opine on everything! The segment is almost salvaged, though, by Ron Brownstein’s point in passing that Trump is perceived by Republican voters as a “wartime president” — except in this case the war is a culture war against blue America.
That strikes me as pretty astute, particularly in light of the “Flight 93 election” pitch in 2016. It’s a much better explanation for Trump’s Antifa comments than Toobin’s is, and a dead cinch to be Trump’s overarching message in 2020.
REMINDER: The most high-profile arrest made in the past few years for Antifa-type activities involved @TimKaine’s son. Doesn’t get any whiter than that!

Remember how health authorities said serious vaccine side effects always will be seen fast?

Turns out that's not true... as Pfizer (and its veterinarian chief executive) should know better than anyone. alexberenson.substack.com/p/remember-how…
“In 2010, German scientists found that a Pfizer veterinary vaccine to reduce diarrhea in cows caused a fatal bleeding disease in their calves.
Even after pressure from Germany caused Pfizer to stop selling the vaccine there, the company kept selling it elsewhere.
A top Pfizer official told British farmers it was safe to use and that “other factors” were likely involved.

A month later, Pfizer stopped selling the vaccine. European regulators later found it caused a 1-in-6000 risk of the bleeding disease.

Biden’s Banana Republic

His treatment of political opponents shows that he is crudely undemocratic. spectator.org/biden-banana-r…
Left-wing tyrants are famous for calling their ramshackle one-party states “democratic.” Joe Biden’s endless blather about democracy while treating his political opponents as “domestic enemies” belongs to this tradition. He equates democracy with unchallenged liberal tyranny.
What he calls “threats” to democracy are nothing more than instances of public resistance to his attempts to build a one-party state in America. He wants docility, not democracy, and seeks to eliminate his political foes as crudely as any tinpot leader of a banana republic.

How convenient for Clinton.

Danchenko, the main source for the discredited anti-Trump dossier, agrees to be defended by law firm representing Clinton cronies under Durham scrutiny washex.am/32MzUuC
Durham’s team asked a judge to “inquire into a potential conflict of interest” related to the lawyers for Igor Danchenko, noting that a colleague at their firm is representing the campaign and several of its employees "in matters before the Special Counsel."
Durham’s team also hinted that former Clinton campaign members will be called to testify, which could be "a potential conflict.” They said it is likely the defense law firm “already has obtained privileged information” from the Clinton campaign about Danchenko and the dossier.

Taliban Already Seizing "Humanitarian Aid" frontpagemag.com/point/2021/12/…
“Taliban militants pulled guns on United Nations aid workers and took off with 3.7 tonnes of Australian flour meant to be delivered to some of Afghanistan's poorest families as the war-torn country faces a catastrophic famine.”
“The Australian Government donated the vital baking staple through the World Food Program as part of a $100 million handout which also includes other UN agencies.”

The war on the unvaccinated

In 2022, we must defend bodily autonomy.

spiked-online.com/2021/12/24/the…
This year governments across the developed world have issued a flurry of policies designed to ‘nudge’ people to get the vaccine, such as requiring vaccine passports to enter leisure venues.
In some countries, those nudges quickly turned into shoves. In November, Austria pioneered the ‘lockdown for the unvaccinated’, making it illegal for the unvaccinated to leave the house without a state-mandated excuse.
