George Soros funneled $1M to defund the police movement as violent crime continues to surge

UK Daily Mail 

"George Soros has provided financial support to an organization backing the defund the police movement as violent crimes surge across the country.

"The billionaire, who regularly backs Democratic congressional candidates and attorneys general, donated $1 million to the Color Of Change PAC, which calls itself the nation’s largest online racial justice organization, according to records filed with the Federal Election Commission and obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

"The sum was Soros’s largest political donation of the 2021 election cycle and supported the PAC’s efforts to slash police budgets." . . .

At the Olympics, the USA loses again and again, but Americans don't care

 Andrea Widburg

"I hope they all lose, every last one of them, and lest anyone ask, "But what about the athletes who love America?," here’s my answer: if you belong to a business — say, the American Olympic sports franchise — that hates its customers, the fact that you, personally, don't hate those customers is irrelevant.  The customers are going to hate you.  If you dislike that reality, it's time to get into another business or start pushing back against the haters within your organization."

". . .  Of late, though, our athletes are no longer amateurs; the Soviets are gone; we worship at the Chinese shrine; the Olympics are on every two years and broadcast 24/7, making for complete over-saturation; and too many of our Olympic athletes hate the country they're representing.  For that reason, those Americans who love their country the most have cared the least when Americans have fallen flat in Tokyo.

"The first occasion for an anti-Olympic celebration came when the women's soccer team suffered a humiliating defeat to Sweden, with the Swedish team beating the Americans 3-0.  That score, in a game renowned for sometimes having only one score during the entire game, was a blow-out.  The Americans didn't just lose; they were humiliated.  And as many conservatives felt, it couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of self-centered, unpleasant, unpatriotic women.  Brigitte Gabriel's response is representative of the conservative view: 

Every time the US Women's National Soccer team loses a game, I will proudly play the US National Anthem and stand with my hand over my heart singing every word

 . . .  

Olympics Ratings Disaster, Viewership At 33 Year Low…  Covid or not, I personally will not watch glowering, angry young people who want us to know of their dislike for our country. I reject them just as I have contempt for any of those costumed, frowning Democrats sitting in Congress. TD

Let's Cheer the Olympians Who Aren't Pathetic, Woke Morons 

. . . "The most recent one focuses on the ingrate American Olympians like the U.S. Women’s soccer team, who are deserving of all the derision they receive." . . .

  . . . "Forget the posturing losers. Let’s remember the athletes who do it all for the right reasons."

U-S-A! U-S-A! 

Nobody cares what Sue thinks

 Silvio Canto, Jr.  "Once again, athletes have found a receptive media establishment for all their political philosophy.  I recall when they got questions about their sport: "Hey, Tom Seaver, did you think the manager was going to take you out of the game when you walked the first batter in the 9th inning?"  Or "Hey, Bart Starr, did you call that quarterback sneak in the huddle or on the line?"

"Now they've all become political pundits because they know that there is a microphone waiting for their comments.

"The latest is Sue Bird of the WNBA.  In the interest of full disclosure, I don't watch the WNBA and did not know this young woman's name.  Nevertheless, here is Sue the self-appointed philosopher:" . . .

This author seems not to know Bird is the fiancee of purple-haired, foul-mouthed, Trump- hating US Women's soccer player Megan Rapinoe, pictured together here:

Joe Biden’s Misery Index Rises;

Highlights in this week of continuing political disappointment.

 Conrad Black  "This column is becoming a weekly checklist on the descent of American public policy and attitudes further into the depths of frivolity, chaos, and national self-dislike. I was honored to make a small contribution last week to the edition of this website celebrating its fifth anniversary. In the editors’ statement on that anniversary, they renewed their hostility to the ineptitude and moral decrepitude of the bipartisan ruling class, their “opposition to the unaccountable administrative state,” their dislike of an American oligarchy, particularly the “Big Tech monopoly to suppress disagreement,” and their contempt for “pernicious utopian ideologies.” It is a privilege to be associated with such opinions.

"In this past week, we’ve seen the absurd spectacle of a group of Texas state legislators commandeering a private plane as they fled from Texas to escape the ability of the governor of Texas to require them to return to Austin and discharge the duty they were elected to carry out, in this case, vote on a voting reform bill. 

"The selfies they took on the planes as they swilled beer—maskless despite masking regulations the Democrats are particularly fervent about upholding, given that they are the party of COVID terror—and the subsequent positive COVID tests of several of the fleeing legislators are almost too ludicrous to believe." . . .

Mr. Biden, with eyes narrowed to angry slits, declared the efforts to assure just and fair elections equal the dead of over half a million men in the War Between The States:


The man who accosted Tucker Carlson has an interesting background

 Andrea Widberg  "It’s already old news that an obnoxious leftist verbally assaulted Tucker Carlson, who was in a fly fishing shop in Montana. Leftists celebrated one of their own throwing mindless insults in Tucker’s direction. Conservatives appreciated how Tucker kept his calm and his sense of humor. Now, though, some interesting information is emerging about the leftist yahoo, a guy named Dan Bailey, thanks to his having outed himself on his Instagram account. It turns out that Dan Bailey worked for an organization that was closely associated with the CIA.

"We’ll begin with Bailey doxing himself by proudly posting the video on his own Instagram account, including a rehash of the insults he spouted while following Tucker around the store:" . . .


It’s probably just a coincidence that Dan Bailey, of all people, hunted down Tucker Carlson, a man hostile to the Deep State, and berated him in a threatening manner, saying “I don’t care” when Tucker asked him to show respect for the fact that Tucker’s young daughter was watching Bailey’s bullying unfold. But have you noted that, lately, none of the “coincidences” in 2021 America have proven to be that coincidental?

Tucker Carlson Shuts Down Leftist Confronting Him in Montana Store: ‘Settle Down, Son’

"Tucker Carlson was recently approached in a Montana fishing tackle store by a man who berated him as the “worst” human being. Tucker handled it well, but the left is positively giddy about this. 

"I can’t help but recall Maxine Waters telling leftists to confront their political opponents in public." . . .

. . . "The left despises Tucker because they fear him, and if you watch his show, you know why. He has a massive reach and is asking questions that Democrats do not want mentioned out loud.

"You’ll notice that the HuffPo piece smears him as “noted vaccine skeptic.” Funny, I don’t recall the left using such words about Kamala Harris and Joe Biden." . . .


NSA Confirms Unmasking Tucker Carlson, Gives Inconsistent Denial on Spying Allegations  . . . "A month ago, Fox News host Tucker Carlson reported that a whistleblower who was “in a position to know” had reached out to him to alert him that the National Security Agency (NSA) was “monitoring our electronic communications and is planning to leak them in an attempt to take the show off the air.” . . .

Certain aspects of Carlson’s story were later confirmed by other news outlets like Axios, which backed up his claim that the NSA had unmasked him:

Will the man ever return?

 DOJ agrees that Durham's report should be released to the public when complete  "The Department of Justice under President Biden agrees with former Attorney General William Barr's October 2020 special counsel order that John Durham's report on the Trump-Russia investigators should be made public upon completion."...
