Braves pick Travis Tritt, who opposes COVID-19 vaccine mandates, to sing national anthem at Game 6

DEPLORABLE Bloggers Alliance

"Tritt, a Georgia native, has been very outspoken about his opposition to vaccine mandates and other COVID-19 safety measure. Earlier this week Tritt announced that he's canceling concerts in four states due to their required COVID-19 safety measures. Venues in Mississippi, Kentucky, Illinois and Indiana require concertgoers to wear masks, show proof of vaccination, or proof of a negative COVID-19 test. 

"In an interview with Billboard, Tritt said that he decided to cancel the shows due to the negative comments he received after performing in venues with COVID requirements. In August, he released a statement that said vaccine mandates were "discriminating" against people who choose to remain unvaccinated. He implied that vaccine mandates are akin to “the squelching of any specific freedoms and basic human rights around the world.' ” . . .

The Wreck Of The Global Warming Narrative

Issues & Insights   "Fox News plans to start a 24-hour weather channel, and according to the Guardian, probably the looniest newspaper in Great Britain, “climate crisis researchers worry about the channel’s reach to perpetuate misinformation and advance political goals.” The alarmists actually have more to worry about than that. Their narrative continues to crash into reality.

"To start with, how do they explain that three new studies show warming from ​​2001 to 2019 “was driven by increases in absorbed solar radiation, not human emissions”? Sure, the eco-activists will do what they always do: obfuscate, dodge, change the subject, and call out the “science deniers.”

"They will do the same when confronted with the news that the last six months were the coldest on record in Antarctica. Just one of those places in a warming world, they say, where it happens to be more frigid than usual. Apparently we’re supposed to forget all that business about the continent, along with the North Pole, being “the ‘canary in the coal mine’ for detection of global warming.”

" 'As Antarctica holds about 90% of all the ice on the planet, what happens in Antarctica will have major effects on the rest of the world,” Discovering Antarctica, a partnership of organizations that includes the United Kingdom’s Foreign & Commonwealth Office, said some years ago.

"More recently we were told that “Antarctica is headed for a climate tipping point by 2060, with catastrophic melting if carbon emissions aren’t cut quickly.”

"Maybe the record-breaking winter in Antarctica is simply an anomaly on the way to that “tipping point.” But Richard Lindzen, professor emeritus of atmospheric sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has noted that across the world “temperatures at any given location” are “almost as likely to be cooling as warming.” So while one region is warming (or cooling), another somewhere is cooling (or warming). It’s useless to argue otherwise. Of course if Antarctica had just gone through its warmest winter on record, the news would be filled with stories of how it’s irrefutable evidence of impending doom." . . .

Resistance with a side of fries

Dave Matthews  "It would seem that a grassroots, grass-fed, Animal-Style resistance to tyranny has begun in America — and it just may end up being the special of the day.

"They — whoever "they" are — have rightly said that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach and maybe, instead of leading to heart disease, a little red (and white) meat might just be the thing necessary to strengthen the hearts of men and to lead them in the fight ahead.  America's resistance to tyranny has, thus far, been in fits and starts, not united, and the resistance has grown hungry for something around which to rally. 

"As destiny would have it, America's grand champion in the fight against vaccine mandates emerged recently from an unexpected place: In-N-Out Burger.  Not only is In-N-Out Burger empirically a good meal at a great price, but the restaurant appears more than willing to put its beliefs into action.  Perhaps those Bible verses on the bottom of its cups and fry wrappers were not in vain; maybe they represent faith in a power higher than the San Francisco Department of Public Health.  Indeed, in one of the bluest areas of the bluest of states, one brave In-N-Out Burger refused to be the "vaccine police" and was shut down for its convictions (note: it has since re-opened).  That single In-N-Out Burger stands firm against an overwhelming force of vaccine mandates, munching confidently on a Double-Double, come what may." . . .

[The good] Rice to The View: We don't need to make children feel guilty over their skin color to teach about race

 Behar at one point quips that parents who want a voice in educating their children had better start home-schooling. Rice has a response to that, too, and it’s well worth noting from this longtime academic and educator.

Hot Air  "A rational discussion on a hot-button topic on … The View? Indeed, and that’s what makes this leftover from yesterday a compelling must-watch in its entirety. Don’t stop at the slices of this debate on critical-race theory, because those don’t fairly capture the dissent to Condoleezza Rice’s point — and the rational exchanges those prompt.

"Well, mostly rational, but at least civil. Be sure to catch Rice’s final exchange with Joy Behar, who tosses out a non-sequitur about the Holocaust being taught in Germany. “We teach every child about slavery,” an exasperated Rice responds:

The most remarkable aspect of this segment is its civility. It’s clear that no one gets moved off their positions in this debate, but they allow Rice time to make her points repeatedly. As Yahoo News notes, social media response was a lot less gracious, where people accused Rice of advocating that white children get “shielded” from history. That’s nonsense, of course; what Rice advocated was teaching history in context, and not burdening white children with 300-plus years of collective guilt for something that they had no part in imposing.

Condi Rice gets it right on The View

Also, telling young whites they are the problem is a dishonest version of history.  As I recall, it was Africans who captured the men who were sold to the Europeans as slaves.  Furthermore, it was whites who wrote the documents that outlawed slavery.

 Notice in the Yahoo article the word "Black" is capitalized; the word "white" is not.

10 Absurdly Wasteful Items Tucked Into Democrats’ $3.5 Trillion Tax-and-Spend Monstrosity

 The Political Insider  "House Democrats a few weeks ago released the full text of their big-government socialism $3.5 trillion tax-and-spend package.

"Many important elements were already clear. It would recklessly boost federal spending at a time of already high inflation, impose ruinous tax hikes when the post-pandemic economic recovery is still vulnerable, and impose an anti-work welfare state.

"However, due to the incredible length of the bill—2,465 pages, or about the length of two King James Bibles—there are thousands of separate provisions, far more than can be properly analyzed by legislators or the public." . . .
