The rot begins at the top. Joe Biden Is in over His Head.
1. The MVP Speaks. “If science can’t be questioned, it’s not science anymore. It’s propaganda, and that’s the truth.”
2. A New Year resolution. "The Covid Insanity Has to End."
3. The virus isn't going away. "[W]e are wasting our time and resources trying to stop a cold."
4. On the necessity of civil disobedience. "COVID means fear, control and lockdowns because we’ve allowed people to make it mean fear, control and lockdowns."
5. It's for your own good. "Tyranny is always imposed for our benefit."
6. Live free or die. "A free society simply cannot coexist with this Covid safetyism. If you put these lunatics in charge, the precautionary principle would rule forever and freedom as we know it would essentially cease to exist."
7. The limitations of Expertise. "A skilled practitioner in the field [of shaping policy] must be deeply aware of the limits of his or her particular disciplinary purview and be disposed to good faith dialogue with others in the pursuit of the most effective and equitable solutions for the citizenry."
8. Put not your faith in Grand Constructions. "Politicians are adept at mining votes by identifying societal shortcomings, but their solutions always involve giving them more money and power."
9. Give yourself no powers... "Even if people are reasonably satisfied with Mark Zuckerberg’s moderation of Facebook, he is not going to be running the company forever. Would people be equally satisfied if some Koch-Murdoch-type billionaire were in control?"
10. Who can stay awake long enough to notice? "[National Public Radio] has become so unlistenable because it seems to care only for the so-called “marginalized” — LGBT, POCs, et al. — who are centered in NPR’s overall coverage."
12. A Christmas miracle? "The tradition that began with a wrong number helped countless children get through the height of the Cold War each Christmas."
13. Mugged by reality? "Many are self-proclaimed progressives who've never even held a gun before, but who've been so spooked by soaring crime in [Beverly Hills, California] that they've decided to arm themselves."
14. Leon Trotsky sends Adam Hilton to Gulag. "[True Blues] takes readers to a land of make-believe where one of the oldest political institutions of capitalist reaction has been transformed into an organ of progressive social change."
15. The Benighted have always caught the Anointed out. "The list of things now proven to be correct that were called conspiracy theories just months ago is getting too long to keep track of."
16. Another reason to abhor national politics. "Effective conservative voices were censored by the social media arms of the Democrat Party. And all this was done after the establishment spent years running an unprecedented “Resistance” that falsely claimed Trump was a traitor who had colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election." Why, it's as if you can identify who has the social power by who can claim an election was stolen. For instance, "America in the year 2022 is not a nation bedeviled by a great scourge of right-wing political violence, but it is a nation bedeviled by a monolithic and intellectually homogenous oligarchy that seeks to subjugate dissenting 'deplorables' by any means necessary."
17. Farewell, gerontocracy? "Something new will take their place."
18. We don't like you, Political Masters. "Washington has gotten too big for its britches."
19. Let's go, Brandon! “A president shouting that 52 senators and millions of Americans are racist unless he gets whatever he wants is proving exactly why the Framers built the Senate to check his power.”
20. They chose poorly. "You people voted for these hamsters. You all can go down with the ship."
21. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. Inclusivity is conformity. "A small but vocal minority cares deeply about an issue, but because others don’t care much either way, the vocal minority ends up imposing its will on everyone else."
22. Pray that they are. "Are Democrats Trying to Lose Elections?"
23. Occam's Razor? "The CDC and other government agencies grossly overhyped the covid epidemic. Many suspect that this was done intentionally, in order to drive President Trump from office. The best argument against this hypothesis is that foreign government agencies were nearly as panic-stricken as our own." There are better constructions than "many suspect," but we can forgive John Hinderaker that for his subsequent "As one doctor said early in the epidemic, the people who are dying with covid are those who had one foot in the grave and the other foot on a banana peel."
24. Sic semper tyrannis! "The real threat to democracy is an elite class who has shown us they value their pain, their inconvenience, and their lives more than ours."
25. Ya think? "A skeptic might suggest terror over the impending midterms finally made the Left face reality."
