Goodbye, Minnesota. I was born in Minneapolis, graduated from the University of Minnesota and have lived in the Twin Cities essentially my entire life. So when I sold my business and took early retirement in 2017, planning to get away from the Minnesota winters, I always thought I'd remain a resident of the state I love that had provided me so much.

Covid's Patient Zero Was... One of the Chinese Lab Workers Playing With Covid, Say... Chinese Government Officials

Over the last few years, the establishment, including government agencies like the FBI, the hegemonic tech companies that control social media, and the press generally, has tried hard to suppress information on several topics. These topics include, among others, the effectiveness of anti-covid measures and treatments, the safety of covid vaccines, Joe Biden’s corruption, and the existence and prevalence of voter fraud. Wrongspeak on any of these topics has been branded as disinformation, and has been likely to result in a ban from Twitter, Facebook and so on. Despite these efforts at censorship, Rasmussen finds that most Americans have no illusions about the integrity of our elections:

Remember that there was a controversy about whether COVID 19 came from the Wuhan virology lab or from bats in the live animal market. Social media censored any suggestion it came from the lab, and of course Dr. Fauci said there was no way it came from the lab. Now of course most people assume it came from the lab. Do Wuhan Institute of Virology Scientists Often Fall from the Building’s Roof?

Hang All the Members of the Liars’ Club?

Hang All the Members of the Liars’ Club. What about the rest? Federal prosecutors last week announced the indictment of U.S. Representative George Santos (R-N.Y.) on a host of charges, including misuse of federal campaign funds and wire fraud, almost all of them resulting from his pathological lies.

Teachers and other government employees will have to write monthly checks if they want to stay in their union after Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill Tuesday banning automatic dues deductions from public employees' paychecks. The anti-union bill also gives employees the right to immediately quit a union for no reason and requires unions to recertify if the number of dues-paying members drops below 60% of those eligible to join.

Feinstein’s Health Crisis Goes Back Farther than We Knew. Staff for the high-ranking Democrat have for years had a system to keep her from walking the halls of Congress alone, sources tell Rolling Stone

Before you Ddntate to the caller supporting the police or firemen, read this. A group of conservative operatives using sophisticated robocalls raised millions of dollars from donors using pro-police and pro-veteran messages. But instead of using the money to promote issues and candidates, an analysis by The New York Times shows, nearly all the money went to pay the firms making the calls and the operatives themselves, highlighting a flaw in the regulation of political nonprofits. Notice how the liberal NYT spins the article against Republicans, though mose of these callers are not so affiliated.

The January 6 tapes

The Chair of the January 6 Select Committee Just Made a Damning Admission. Tucker Carlson is locked in shredding the nonsense surrounding the January 6 riot, which has been sold to the public as a violent insurrection. The hyperbole knows no bounds as others have said that day was worse than Pearl Harbor or the 9/11 attacks, once again showing that liberals have no sense of history. Trump supporters killed Capitol Police officers; people took that seriously. And it’s all a lie. It’s also a lie that those arrested, indicted, and convicted are domestic terrorists. I’m not referring to the ones who attacked police officers; they deserve whatever comes to them. But folks like Jacob Chansley, the ‘QAnon Shaman,’ are decidedly not domestic threats.

Walmart will close its last two stores in crime-plagued Portland, Ore., as the city contends with a relentless wave of shoplifting that has hammered retailers. The closures, set for March 24, come months after CEO Doug McMillon warned the discount retailer was seeing a spike in “shrink” — a term the retail industry uses to address losses related to in-store theft or fraud.

Times are tough for recent college graduates.  Some of them chose the wrong major. I posted this just to include this quote from the article. Jim Fish, chief executive of Waste Management Inc., described the situation this way: “We can’t hire a truck driver to drive a trash truck for $90,000 in Houston, Texas, but I can hire an M.B.A. from a small school for $60,000, and I can get them all day long.”

Teen Employment Isn’t Exploitation, But It Might Keep You From Becoming A Helpless Adult

Lawrence Summers on Twitter: I heard a comment from somebody in a developing country who said, “Look, I like your values better than I like China’s. But the truth is, when we’re engaged with the Chinese, we get an airport. And when we’re engaged with you guys, we get a lecture.”

Oops. That climate science isn't quite as settled. Methane warms the Earth when the gas absorbs longwave radiation. But it also cancels out some of that effect, counterintuitively, by absorbing shortwave radiation.

The Real Science on Masks: They Make No Difference

The news recently has been covering the slew of close calls among aircraft. Is it because of the Disastrous Initiative to Hire Air Traffic Controllers Based on Diversity, Not Talent.  In an effort to recruit more minorities as air traffic controllers, the FAA discarded its longtime use of the difficult cognitive assessment test and implemented instead a new, unmonitored take-home personality test—a biographical questionnaire. Among the questions asked are: “The number of high school sports I participated in was … ” “How would you describe your ideal job?” “What has been the major cause of your failures?” 

The Real Science on Masks: They Make No Difference. Face coverings do nothing to reduce the spread of Covid, according to a new, gold standard scientific review.

Absurdities of the McConnell-Schumer Omnibus Spending Bill. Congressional leaders have dropped 6,825 pages of text for their “omnibus” spending bill, plus explanatory materials that include a list of at least 4,000 earmarks, on the doorstep of every American family.

Are Universities Doomed? Victor Davis Hanson on the decline of universities. Left-wing indoctrination, administrative bloat, obsessions with racial preferences, arcane, jargon-filled research, and campus-wide intolerance of diverse thought short-changed students, further alienated the public—and often enraged alumni. In a new low/high, Stanford recently enrolled 16,937 undergraduate and graduate students, but lists 15,750 administrative staff—in near one-to-one fashion.

Torrent of Taxes Sends New Yorkers Fleeing on Southbound Expressway. In March 2021, a study of New York found that its already staggeringly high tax burden had worsened due to an increase in the top marginal tax rate to almost 15% for those in New York City. The study projected that the flood of people leaving would only accelerate—and it did. And what do New Yorkers get for all these taxes? Roads smooth as glass? The best airports in the world? Trains running on time? Bulletproof electric grid and water infrastructure? Ample police to maintain safety and order? Not even close.

Twitter files #7: the FBI sets up the scam. When the Hunter Biden laptop story broke shortly before the 2020 election, I initially experienced a brief sense of relief. It had been a tense year, to be sure: COVID, then the Floyd riots, and with the election looming I had a gut feeling that the cognitively challenged, mendacious, corrupt, newly-minted leftist Joe Biden was going to win. Now, with this laptop story, maybe enough people were going to learn about more of the family corruption, and perhaps it would change the outcome.

I was at a Walmart this week that had remarkable security measures. I wanted to buy some T-shirts. They were locked behind a glass door. I had to find a clerk to open it for me. Once selected, I couldn't put them in my cart. The clerk had to take them up to a front counter for me to retrieve later. When checking out, I located my T-shirts up front. At that point, the clerk had to take them to the self-service register and actually scanned them for me to make sure I was going to pay for them. I was incredulous, but apparently theft is a big problem in this neighborhood. I happened on this article Walmart May Hike Prices and Close Stores Due to Theft. When did T-shirts become a security problem?
