Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said on Saturday it was fraud for GoFundMe to “commandeer” $9 million in donations sent to support protesting truckdrivers in Canada and that he will investigate what he called “deceptive practices” by the website.
GoFundMe took down the so-called Freedom Convoy’s page on Friday, saying it violated its terms of service. It said donors had two weeks to request a refund, then remaining funds would be disbursed to “credible and established charities.”
DeSantis, a Republican, said on Twitter it was fraud for GoFundMe to give the money “to causes of their own choosing,” and he would work with Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody to investigate. “(T)hese donors should be given a refund.”

When Joe Biden still had sufficient mental competency to merely be “Slow Joe” Biden, he and his Senate Democrat cohorts helped torpedo the Supreme Court future of a black woman. Her name is Janice Rogers Brown, no earthly relation to me, and she was finally confirmed from the California Supreme Court to be a United States Circuit Judge for the District of Columbia Circuit. Yet, the bitter two-year delaying action kept her from potential consideration for the Supreme Court, and she retired to an academic life.
I remember President George W. Bush nominating this outstanding jurist, with an eye to potential future Supreme Court consideration. I did not know at the time that there was talk of turning to her, a California Supreme Court justice, when Bush’s attempt to get his Texas crony, Harriet Miers, on the court was crushed by real conservatives. He took the easier route, although not one of his first choosing, of nominating Samuel Alito to replace Sandra Day O’Connor. Brown persisted, not withdrawing her nomination in the face of Biden and his gang’s obstruction.

Anyone who had a reaction short of anaphylaxis that caused throat swelling (and only that), is guided by the CDC to receive the vaccine.
Cardiomyopathy? Get the booster.
Venous Sinus Thrombus? Get the booster.
Deep vein thrombosis? Get the booster.
Total body rash? Get the booster.
The CDC’s guidelines do not take into account the unique nature of people and their strange immune systems. The State of California’s Department of Public Health also does not take into account people’s conditions and previous reactions. California’s Board of Medicine is still creating an environment of fear for doctors who are willing to treat their patients as individuals. BoM is still coercing doctors to deny appropriate care and guidance to their patients for fear of losing their own careers.

Nebraska state Sen. Steve Halloran (R), the resolution’s sponsor, said in an email to Newsweek he pushed it because “it is evident that Congress cannot control its runaway spending,” noting the significant increase of the national debt under presidencies of both political parties.
“Additionally, over time the federal government has exceeded its constitutional authority, taking too much authority from the States,” Halloran, of Hastings, said. “The States need to exercise their constitutional authority by proposing amendments through an Article V Convention of States to restrain the federal government from driving our country into insolvency.”

Supposedly, thanks mostly to Sinema and Manchin, the multi-gazillion dollar Build Back Bigoted Bill is dead in the water. Unfortunately, it has been my experience that you can’t stop a boondoggle. Especially one where you can call anyone who opposes it a rayciss. Without a stake through its heart, and possibly a cross and a lot of garlic, these corpses always rise again. So let’s look at just one tiny example of the pointless, outrageous giveaway the Democrats had planned to empty the Treasury for eons to come.
Weeks ago, Ann Coulter delved into the wretched thousands-page bill and ferreted out just a few gems. Though my fact-obsessed editor found her reportage less than accurate (picky, picky, picky…), it was all I had to go on, save reading it myself which was out of the question.

Justice Breyer pulled out a pocket constitution at his White House appearance today. Turns out it was the copy that Justice Breyer received when he entered Harvard Law School in 1964. The copy is pristine — never opened, never thumbed through. None of the cases he heard at the Supreme Court ever required him to consult it. It will make a great exhibit in his museum display someday.

U.S. District Judge Amy Totenberg has boxed herself into a dilemma.
She has kept a report on a theoretical voting machine flaw—authored by a respected computer researcher—secret since last summer, citing concerns that releasing the report would fuel conspiracy theories about voting machines and the 2020 U.S. presidential election.
But her attempts at preventing conspiracy theories has fueled those theories anyway. And now, she has Georgia’s top elections official, Brad Raffensberger, urging her to make the report public.
Sister of Nina Totenberg, famous liar legal correspondent for CNN.

I’m still constantly receiving these little reports from across the US (and Canada!) detailing the petty indignities and absurdities to which people are subjected in the name of this-or-that overheated COVID concern.
Does every last report amount to full-blown authoritarian tyranny? Not really — most probably wouldn’t even register as particularly attention-getting on their own. But the thing I keep coming back to is the cumulative pettiness — how corrosive the sheer quantity of snippets like ones I’ll list in this post, taken in aggregate, must be to the social order.

Fox News footage shows several federally contracted buses dropping off dozens of mostly male migrants at a parking garage in Brownsville, Texas. Black tarps were set up with a makeshift sign said “Border Patrol drop-off” above it.
Fox witnessed men go into a small, unmarked office, then re-emerge moments later as multiple taxi cabs then showed up to collect the migrants — who were then shuttled off to nearby Harlingen Airport. There were no children or migrant families among the groups.
Several of the migrants told Fox that they had crossed illegally that morning, paying approximately $2,000 per person to cartel smugglers. They also said they were flying to destinations including Miami, Houston and Atlanta.
This is what we mean when we say that Biden has an open borders policy.

“It seems that, in common with the tobacco industry, the wind industry was well aware that its products were inimical to health. The introduction of larger turbines is also problematic because the larger the turbines, the more noise they produce.” (- Alun Evans, Centre for Public Health, The Queen’s University of Belfast, below)

The US Geological Survey (USGS) and National Park Service (NPS) have committed massive resources toward promotion of the glacier melt narrative at Glacier National Park (GNP). Various USGS and NPS signs, pamphlets, websites and films have predicted calamitous melting of the Park’s glaciers in the near future. During the winter of 2018-19, while the Park’s facilities were closed to the public, government workers quietly removed signs predicting the Park’s glaciers would all disappear by 2020.
Since 2015 the USGS and NPS have prominently displayed data tables on their websites indicating that GNP’s glaciers have been steadily decreasing each half decade. The data table is frequently referenced in news stories to describe the plight of the glaciers as steadily receding.

The US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has partnered with a Virginia-based private identification firm which requires a facial recognition selfie among other things, in order to create or access online accounts with the agency.
According to KrebsonSecurity, the IRS announced that by the summer of 2022, the only way to log into irs.gov will be through ID.me. Founded by former Army Rangers in 2010, the McLean-based company has evolved to providing online ID verification services which several states are using to help reduce unemployment and pandemic-assistance fraud. The company claims to have 64 million users.
But God forbid we use this technology for voting, that would Threaten Our Democracy.

‘Noise concerns’. Uh-huh. Sure, I believe that.
Private jet and helicopter charters into the East Hampton Airport could be a thing of the past as the town’s board is expected to take the public airport under private control by early March, according to Bloomberg.
The move will effectively ban millionaires who rent aircraft and only allow billionaires who own their jets to fly into the airport.
Sometimes it is good to be in the .01%.

Most people know that HR 1 creates enormous new opportunities for Democratic urban machines to cheat. But even more horrific is that the legislation would also make it almost impossible to challenge even absurdly obvious bogus registrations. In essence, the bill outlaws investigating and reporting cheating if done by private citizens.
A massive dump of late bogus registrations cannot be challenged without “personal knowledge.” Systematic research by a team of non-government parties that conclusively proves a registered voter has moved and registered in another state or is deceased that cannot otherwise be supported by a sworn affidavit of “personal knowledge” cannot be accepted and acted upon by authorities. And the accuser can be fined or jailed if the accusation cannot be verified under the revised rules.

Two trains that Wisconsin purchased for a failed high-speed rail project were sold to Nigeria on Tuesday.
The governor of the West African country’s Lagos State visited Milwaukee this week to buy the trains, which had sat unused since 2012. Nigeria plans to use the trains for a metro system under construction.
Wisconsin originally purchased the trains in 2009 from Spanish manufacturer Talgo as part of a plan to construct a high-speed rail line connecting Milwaukee and Madison. Months later, the Obama administration granted Wisconsin $810 million to pay for the rail line.
But the project soon fell apart, according to Wisconsin Public Radio, after the state elected Republican governor Scott Walker, who campaigned on scrapping the rail line.

No one who watches politics has any doubt that Joe Biden is barely, if at all, running the country. That fact has been true from the beginning of his presidency, and probably long before. Many of us are assuming that Ron Klain with several cohorts in the administration are the ones in charge, making the shocking and ill-conceived decisions for Biden; Biden is just a figurehead. Let me explain why we have effectively, if not formally, become an oligarchy, and the implications of that structure.
A more accurate term would be ‘managerial state’. If you haven’t read Burnham, now would be a good time to do so.

The question is: why all this now? Russian fears of Nato encirclement are as old at the organisation itself. According to Vladislav Davidzon, Ukrainian-American author of the original and superb From Odessa with Love, the reason is simple. “High oil prices mean Russia is flush with cash,” he tells me. “After having had a very good 2021, the Kremlin sees this as a decisive moment. They see a weak American president in the White House who has continually talked tough but constantly signalled that he wants a quiet reset of policy.”
He continues: “As soon as Biden took office, the Kremlin started testing him with the initial buildup early last year. Everything since then has confirmed their belief. The Russians think they will never have a better opportunity to reorder things in their favour.”

Tamiflu’s story would become more complicated as a multiyear effort spearheaded by the British Medical Journal would highlight many problems with clinical transparency that still resonate today. Approval of Tamiflu and subsequent billions spent by world governments stockpiling it for a potential swine flu pandemic was all based upon recommendations by the CDC, WHO, and EMA. None of which ever actually vetted the primary data and took it at face value. A Cochrane review would conclude after a four-year legal fight to obtain the primary data that there was no clear evidence to support the claims that Tamiflu improved influenza complications or infections but did raise concerns about side effects like nausea, vomiting, headaches, hallucinations, and depression.
Boy, that sure sounds familiar.

Kansas Sen. Roger Marshall plans to introduce legislation named after the nation’s top doctor after he made headlines for name-calling on a hot mic.
Marshall’s bill, called the Financial Accountability for Uniquely Compensated Individuals – or FAUCI Act – will require that the Office of Government Ethics provide a list of all confidential filers within the government whose financial disclosures are not public, per Fox News.

An obscure agency within the Biden administration, the Pretrial Services Agency, announced an Orwellian tracking scheme on Tuesday that could serve as a model for the entire US government to collect the names and “personal religious information” of federal employees who make “religious accommodation requests for religious exception from the federally mandated vaccination requirement,” according to the Daily Signal.
