I counted about twelve articles about “the insurrection” at Real Clear Politics. As is their policy, half were by Leftist loons and half by our side (at least nominally). As expected, the lefties are in full hyperventilation mode.
Phrases included:
- Domestic terror attack
- On par with 9/11 and Pearl Harbor Attack
- A threat to “our democracy”
- Truly gnarly
- Not cool
Those last two were by Bernie Bros who had been huffing lighter fluid earlier in the day and wandered over to where I was typing.
Be that as it may, I don’t think the American people for the most part care even a little bit that this is the anniversary of the day that bison man claimed control over the United States of America. They seemed more interested in the fact that after two years of COVID torture we’re still looking at Biden’s stupid face covered by a ridiculous rag. And they are especially interested in why food and gasoline prices have skyrocketed. And some of them are interested in why the cities they live in are infested with bands of roving marauders who apparently have full immunity from arrest by the now toothless police force.
I think it’s interesting that the mainstream media has rendered itself completely untrustworthy. At this point they could be giving away free cash and no one would bother to read what they have to say. In addition, idiots like Adam Schiff and AOC have drifted so far from reality that only the MSNBC crowd bother listening to them rant. And even these rabid partisans seemed strangely apathetic.
We may have reached a point where all anyone can think of is, “How many days left until Brandon leaves the White House?” Sure, the Dems in the House will go through this charade. They may even decide to impeach Donald Trump again. After all it’s been almost a year since they impeached him last time and that is a long time.
But for me there’s nothing very important in the news at the moment. Tomorrow I think the Supreme Court is supposed to take up the issue of whether the vaccine mandates on large businesses are constitutional. Now that is important. Could it be possible that the Supreme Court will break free of oligarchic control and do their job honestly? It seems unlikely but it’s at least remotely possible. I hardly want to dare hope for such a thing. But I confess I’m excited about the prospect. If the corporate mandate gets overturned then what about the other mandates? Why should anyone be forced to be vaccinated against his will? How can any of that be constitutional? A return of sanity in this instance and at this particular moment might be a sort of tipping point in the long night of madness that is COVID. It might just be enough to make Dementia Joe throw in the towel and go back to hiding in the White House basement. That would be a wonderful late Christmas present for the whole country.
So then, maybe January Sixth isn’t the important date. Maybe it’ll be January Seventh.
