OMG a guy was disrespectful to the president of the United States in one of the most euphemistic ways possible after four years of the entire legacy media celebrating pussyhats, middle fingers, and f*** yous directed at the president of the United States, everybody freak out
I've noticed our "speaking truth to power" media are laser-focused on outing and cudgeling a random dad who said "Let's Go Brandon" on behalf of the most powerful person on planet earth
Am I supposed to be extremely upset that a guy dropped a hilariously-timed euphemistic insult at the president of the United States in a democratic republic? Truly? Am I?
I only wish the guy had patiently explained to Biden that Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself.

1. Omicron is 70x as infectious as delta, which was twice as infectious as the original variant. 2. Omicron is resulting in 10x fewer hospitalizations than prior waves in S. Africa. 3. Conclusion A: Everyone will get Omicron. Get used to it.
4. Conclusion B: Your chances of dying are minimal, and much lower than if you had delta. Those chances are striated based on age. 5. Conclusion C: Overall number of deaths will be higher than right now solely because number of infections will be larger.
6. Conclusion D: Vaccine passports will not do anything, because vaccines are not preventing infection at a high enough rate. 7. Conclusion E: There is no data that masks short of KN-95s did anything about Delta, so they'll do even less against Omicron.
This, from David Brooks' much-ballyhooed essay on conservatism, is absolutely absurd.
1. Statism is deeply related to social decay. To posit a dichotomy between the two problems is to absolutely misapprehend the nature of conservatism, to botch the relationship between community and liberty.
2. If you are deeply concerned about social decay, positing that the Democratic Party is the solution is patently insane. That party currently denies basic biological reality, promotes racial essentialism, destroys national unity by undermining our history and philosophy...
This article from Elizabeth Spiers in the NYT is true, bats*** lunacy. Let us examine the ways. nytimes.com/2021/12/03/opi…
1. Bearing a child and giving it up for adoption is significantly less difficult, expensive, dangerous and potentially traumatic for the child than, you know, stabbing it in the head and sucking it into a sink.
2. Adoption is often a pretty good thing, as the author acknowledges. But wait...she'll buy it back momentarily.
If the defendants in the Arbery case are acquitted, the media will, of course, blame racism. The reality is more complex. The case is about whether the defendants had probable cause to believe Arbery was committing a felony when they tried to effectuate a citizen's arrest.
If they did not, then it's false imprisonment and murder. If they did, it's self-defense. The question arises because Arbery was apparently seen repeatedly on video in a house under construction from which equipment had been stolen.
A police officer testified that he had warned neighbors about Arbery's alleged trespassing. He also testified that he had told the defendants about this -- and that he told the owner of the house to call the defendants if he saw such trespassing occurring.
