CDC Dr. Daniel Jernigan: “The risk of getting myocarditis is much lower among those vaccinated than among those that were unvaccinated."(50 seconds video clip in the link below)https://twitter.com/CitizenFreePres/status/1758186380406956410

Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that she wished more Republicans would accept the “truth” that former President Donald Trump “incited an insurrection.” Pelosi said, “What’s interesting about it all is that in every case, every piece of this, whether it was our case in terms of the Electoral College, whether it was what happened with the January 6 Select Committee, or this testimony now, it’s all coming from Republicans in the Select Committee except for maybe the poll workers and I don’t know what party they are. All of the other testimony came from Republicans,...

Biden recently repeated the claim that high prices are caused by greedy businesses. Biden is not alone in trying to gaslight the people into thinking price inflation is rooted in the actions of private individuals and not the fiat money system Americans have lived under since 1971. In the media we see excessive consumer spending on luxury items, for example, being blamed for continued price inflation. The fact is that increased consumer demand can only cause prices to rise in those sectors of the economy subject to the increased demand. Prices increasing across the economy are always the result of...

NPR tried to reassure Americans that Biden using the short stairs to board Air Force One is a normal precaution to avoid ‘bad optics.’President Joe Biden is in severe decline, evidenced by his numerous public falls and repeated inability to coherently communicate.The Democrat’s public displays of clumsiness have left the White House scrambling to cover up his physical and mental incompetencies. Corporate media like NPR, which is known for giving its preferred political candidate a boost in the 2020 election cycle, are all too happy to join in the fun just in time for the 2024 election cycle.An article from...

Whatever the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports today about job growth and the unemployment rate, you can bet that President Joe Biden will use it as an opportunity to brag about his superb handling of the economy. The one thing Biden is good at is lying with statistics. Biden will probably claim that he’s overseen a record number of new jobs – the most in history. The press will dutifully regurgitate White House talking points. But the numbers getting bandied about these days about job growth and unemployment are wildly misleading because they ignore important bits of context. Such as:...

The Biden administration should be ashamed of themselves. That briefing from John Kirby on the Afghanistan withdrawal was an insult to the 13 servicemembers who lost their lives, veterans and those in uniform, and to every single American. On behalf of the administration, he deflected all responsibility, painting Biden as a “helpless” president, while having the audacity to brag about the administration’s “planning.” He claimed “there’s a lot to be proud of” about the withdrawal, and then insisted “for all this talk of ‘chaos,’ I just didn't see it.” He insisted this report is not about “accountability” a full 18...

As Twitchy reported earlier, Defense Department spokesman John Kirby appeared in the press briefing room Thursday to play up the Biden administration’s finding that the Afghanistan withdrawal disaster was President Donald Trump’s fault; the only reason it looks like President Joe Biden’s screw-up is that he was “severely constrained by conditions” set by Trump. Biden certainly didn’t feel constrained by any of Trump’s executive orders when he took office, but this he couldn’t do anything about. Kirby did his best Baghdad Bob impression, claiming that “For all this talk of chaos, I just didn’t see it.” He missed the video...

KIRBY: "This idea...is just LUDICROUS! That we left millions of dollars of stuff in Afghanistan?! We didn't!" (video in the link below) https://twitter.com/townhallcom/status/1644047580202954761

The notion that the Southern California Gas Company is seeking to raise rates by 13% borders on gross malfeasance and criminal conspiracy. Yet most of my ire is not directed at SoCalGas but rather toward government institutions like the inept California Public Utilities Commission, the vacuous California governor and much of the Byzantine California State Legislature. Yes … we can all indeed thank the political swamp that is Sacramento for our ever increasing natural gas, energy and fuel prices. Ever the political demagogue, Gov. Gavin Newsom is demanding a federal investigation into high natural gas prices. The “pretty boy” Left...

Daniel Kochis @dankochis Senior Policy Analyst, European AffairsDaniel is a senior policy analyst for European affairs in the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom.Russia’s wartime arsenal now appears to include sabotage of underwater pipelines.On Monday, authorities in Europe noticed a sudden drop in pressure in the Nord Stream and Nord Stream II natural gas pipelines, which connect Russia with Germany. Since that time, a total of three leaks (two in NS1 and one in NS2) across both pipelines have been found. Seismologists in Denmark registered explosions in the area measuring around 2.1 and 2.3 on the Richter scale.The leaks are in...

A suspected Russian sabotage attack on the Nord Stream gas pipelines was “probably premeditated and planned for” using an explosive device dropped into the sea weeks before it was detonated, according to a British defence source. The European Union and Nato have described the large blasts in the Baltic Sea as a “deliberate act” of sabotage, with Russia labelled by Poland and Ukraine as the culprit, even as investigations continue. The concrete and steel pipelines were torn open by apparent underwater explosions as strong as a minor earthquake, leading to three large gas leaks east of the Danish island of...

His Fraudulency Joe Biden has just launched a month-long campaign to gaslight the American people about the state of the economy he deliberately destroyed. The Biden White House is rolling out a new monthlong economic campaign today to try to “communicate on our accomplishments to date on the economy,” according to a White House official.

We all get that political strategists like to cheerlead for their party. Some might even say that it’s their job. I, however, think that a good strategist is willing to see and speak the truth. If their party is failing, they aren’t doing anyone any favors by pretending things are going well. Which brings me to Democratic strategist Donna Brazile, who appeared on ABC’s This Week on Sunday and gave the most laughable assessment of the upcoming midterms I’ve seen. According to Brazile, the GOP is “essentially running on fumes” from allegations of voter fraud in 2020, while Democrats “are...

Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” Democratic strategist Donna Brazile weighed in on the upcoming midterm elections. Brazile claimed that the GOP was “essentially running on fumes” from the “energy” of the so-called “big lie” of 2020. She argued that, on the other hand, Democrats “are running on the economy that’s roaring back” and “fighting inflation.” “All we have to do is wait over the next 37 days as 11 or 12 states hold their primaries. You have big primaries in Ohio and North Carolina, Pennsylvania where the former president has already tipped the scales and supported one candidate over another,”...

An increasing number of Democrats seem to have a new Covid strategy: Do a one-eighty and hope everybody has hit their head and can’t remember what happened for the past nearly two years. Outgoing New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is among them:

The Golden State Gaslight Have you seen the movie 'Gaslight' which depicts gaslighting in operation? It's very instructive. You can watch it no charge at Roku: This is during the 1944 classic's ending, on the roof: Ingrid Bergman: "This night will be a long night."Joseph Cotten: "But it will end. Starting to clear. In the morning when the sun rises, sometimes it's hard to believe there ever was a night. You'll find that too."We are currently in the long psychological night but we are beginning to see the dawn. When I saw the word gaslighting I always just considered the...

On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “AC360,” Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI) said that he sees “no evidence whatsoever in the Democratic caucus or in the Democratic Party of antisemitism at all. In fact, the strongest voices that have condemned acts of antisemitism and this rise in antisemitic violence have been members of the Democratic caucus.”

The term ‘gaslighting’ has been making its rounds lately, and was one of the most searched relationship terms on Google in 2020. While it’s possible to gaslight in almost any situation, it’s most common in relationships. But what exactly is gaslighting? In short, it’s a form of emotional or psychological abuse where one party says and does things to manipulate their partner in order to gain power over them . As the word suggests, it’s akin to the situation where one pours gas over a fire so that it gets so out of control that you have no idea what’s...

WHAT IS GASLIGHTING? The term originates in the systematic psychological manipulation of a victim by her husband in Patrick Hamilton’s 1938 stage play Gas Light, and the film adaptations released in 1940 and 1944. In the story, the husband attempts to convince his wife and others that she is insane by manipulating small elements of their environment and insisting that she is mistaken, remembering things incorrectly, or delusional when she points out these changes. The play's title alludes to how the abusive husband slowly dims the gas lights in their home, while pretending nothing has changed, in an effort to...

The United States has survived the 2020 election and its seemingly never-ending and increasingly bizarre aftermath. Efforts by Donald Trump to overturn Joe Biden’s victory in the courts met abject failure at almost every turn even as a number of Republican elected officials and Republican voters embraced them. The most apocalyptic scenarios that some scholars worried about before the election did not come to pass. But nothing that happened after November 3 can be considered normal — not the threats to election officials, not the concerted legal effort to invalidate millions of votes, and certainly not Four Seasons Total Landscaping....
