- The Last RefugeThe Last Refuge (theconservativetreehouse.com) Fox10 News Anchor Kari Lake has reflected on the trend-line for U.S. media and decided she can no longer participate in an industry that has devolved to a system of narrative engineering. Ms. Lake speaks directly to the issue of manipulated news feed script and she is no longer willing to participate in this activity.
Kari Lake: “Journalism has changed a lot since I first stepped into a newsroom… I don’t like the direction it is going. …I’m sure there are other journalists out there who feel the same way.”
Golden Globes Goes ‘Woke,’ Ratings Crash Over 60 Percent
"This year's awards, hosted by Amy Poehler and Tina Fey, appears to be headed for a ratings fiasco.
"Early figures for this year's more "woke" Golden Globes indicate that ratings for the annual entertainment industry awards have crashed by more than sixty percent.
"In the absence of Ricky Gervais as host, the awards saw an increase in political messaging, woke lecturing, and propaganda from left-wing celebrities.
"In previous years, Gervais's hosting remarks had gone viral after the British comedian roasted celebrity privilege while blasting liberal cancel culture and political correctness.
"The 78th annual Golden Globes was virtual for 2021, however, and was hampered by Zoom glitches, obscure nominees, and a total absence of both the fashion red carpet and Gervais's grounding hosting skills." . . .
Golden Globe Award For 'Not Being A Pervert' Goes Unclaimed Once Again | The Babylon Bee "U.S.—In an effort to spice up the Golden Globes and keep in step with the #MeToo movement, a new award has been introduced in recent years. The highly coveted award category is reserved for actors who exemplify "not being a pervert." . . . "Desperate to find a new way to keep viewers interested, the team at the Golden Globes is considering some other categories that may be more relevant, such as "Most Oppressed Celebrity", "Biggest Political Activist Acting As An Actor", and "Obama’s Favorite Actor.' "Golden Globes Ratings Recover After Ricky Gervais Hacks Broadcast | The Babylon Bee . . . "Gervais went on for close to five minutes before NBC managed to recover control of the broadcast. Ratings immediately plummeted through the basement as Tina Fey and Amy Poehler apologized for Gervais' outburst and resumed lecturing everyone on inclusivity and diversity."

Transgenderism: A dangerous new fad
Transgenderism: A dangerous new fad - American Thinker . . . "Other countries are also dealing with transgenderism and witnessing the effects of its popularity among the young. Australian psychiatrist Stephen Stathis, who is responsible for diagnosing gender dysphoria, reported on a patient who said, "Doctor Steve...I want to be transgender. It's the new black."
"This cultural push ignores that men and woman are different, in brains and body. While a boy may feel like a girl, he is not. He is still a boy. Feelings cannot change a person's sex.
"It also ignores the problems with transgenderism. Per capita, more transgender people have attempted suicide — 22% to 43% of them — than any other demographic. Additionally, two thirds of all trans youths report recent self-harm. Believing you are in the wrong body takes a serious toll on your mental health. If someone takes hormone-blockers or has a so-called sex reassignment done, this likely will also negatively impact a person's mental well-being in the long run.
"For example, in 2020, Keira Bell, a 23-year-old woman from London, sued the National Health Service (NHS). Bell was only 16 when she went to the NHS for gender dysphoria treatment. After three one-hour therapy sessions, the NHS prescribed puberty-blockers. Three years later, it gave her a double-mastectomy. Once she had taken these steps, it was too late to go back." . . .

Call between Biden and China’s Xi portends rocky road in post-Trump era
AfterMath - Home (terrellaftermath.com) |
Crazy Old Biden and the Countdown to Kamala - American Thinker: . . . "After the election, his mental decline has become obvious. To cover for his cerebral issues, he has not held a formal press conference and has been interviewed only a few times by friendly reporters. His one town hall meeting was broadcast on CNN, a pro-Biden network that supports his agenda and uses most of its airtime to fume about President Donald Trump and his supporters.
"On a typical day, Biden will make a statement or issue an executive order. He will give a speech filled with bumbled or contorted language and then immediately exit the room as reporters are ushered out shouting questions. This is in contrast to President Trump, who gave impromptu press conferences constantly.
"Sadly, the liberal mainstream press is covering for Biden. If Trump had acted in such a manner during his first five weeks, there would have been a press uproar. Eventually, these mental problems will be too severe to hide, and even the liberal media will have to report on them.
"Biden is mentally deteriorating, as most astute observers knew he would. His condition has become so worrisome that 31 House Democrats are demanding the control of the "nuclear football" be removed from the sole authority of the president. " . . .
There's a battle going on between Khamenei and Biden . . . "The main Iranian opposition, the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), understands how to treat Iran's mullahs. It holds that the Iranian regime is only responsive to the language of determination. Lifting of sanctions — which is the opposite of determination — will pave the way for the Iranian regime's blackmail, nuclear ambition, and internal repression. Future peace negotiations in the Middle East will be in serious jeopardy." . . .
Biden's Latest Verbal Slip Might Be His Most Disturbing Yet – PJ Media "Conservative media has been calling out what appears to be Joe Biden’s cognitive decline for a long time. During the presidential campaign, we were the ones sounding the alarm bells while the mainstream media covered for him. At times it was amusing, yet also a bit scary. This man is running for president? The most powerful position in the world?
"Now, it’s just scary.
"On Saturday, Joe Biden did it again. While attempting to list off the names of several Democrats, even he was surprised by his own forgetfulness." . . .
Nevertheless, Xi persisted — with Biden's support (nypost.com) . . . "Now and then, you are reminded that the Khomeinis and Khameneis, and the Osama bin Ladens, too, have a point. America’s politicians are decadent and feckless. They substitute image for reality, and when it goes wrong, they pretend it never happened. Everything about Joe Biden is false, from his teeth to the random musings that float past them. The whole world sees this, but we are enjoined not to by an administration that drifted into office on a cloud of fantasy, puffed up by a largely complicit media.
“Biden confronts China’s Xi in first call,” reports Politico. Biden couldn’t “confront” a cheese sandwich without a side order of denture paste.
“In first call with Xi since election, Biden warns him on human rights,” reports The New York Times. That’s a “warning” on “human rights” abuses that Xi says aren’t happening.
“Last night, I was on the phone for two straight hours with Xi Jinping,” Biden announced to the press on Thursday, as though boasting of the bladder strength of a younger man. “We don’t get moving, they’re going to eat our lunch.” . . .

Did Wind Power Fall Hard During the Great Texas Storm? Yep. Twice.
PJ Media "Texas is that rare state that has everything: oil, natural gas, coal, space for wind and solar, rare-earth minerals, great food, good-looking people, and abundant humility.
"Maybe not that last one. And we haven’t had a Super Bowl champion in much too long a time.
"Anyway, Friday morning I pulled electric power generation data by source from the United States Energy Information Administration. EIA is reputable and authoritative, to the extent that any government agency is. Insert shrug emoji if you wish. I mostly trust their data. It’s EIA’s data everyone cites when they, accurately, say the United States reduced carbon emissions faster than other developed nations and ahead of the Paris Accords targets over the past few years. EIA’s data attributes that to the rise of natural gas as a cheap, reliable, and clean power source. So you’ve probably trusted their data too, whether you were aware of it or not.
"Here’s what their Texas energy generation graph of the past week says.
"The beige line at the top is natural gas, the green line in the middle is wind. Take note of what that line does between Feb 15-16 and then again on Feb. 17. Also take note of what the beige line is doing during that second period.
"I’ll add some arrows to point out wind’s lowest generation points": . . .
Biden bombs when comparing Trump to Nazi official
Bostonherald.com "Joe Biden, who has accused Republicans of being practitioners of the Big Lie, is no slouch either when it comes to telling whoppers.
"And he can get away with it because the biased media fails to hold him accountable for anything, even when he calls Republicans Nazis. They believe him or pretend to.
"Otherwise, some straight-shooting mainstream reporter (if there are any left) might have asked Biden what the hell he was talking about when he compared President Trump, U.S. Sens. Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley to Nazi Joseph Goebbels and the Allied World War II firebombing of Dresden, Germany.
"It all may be academic now that Trump is out the door, but it matters.
"But no reporter asked a follow-up question, perhaps because they had no idea what Biden was talking about. Dresden to them probably was some sort of chinaware. Besides, it sounded like more of Biden’s gibberish.
"World War II is not taught much in schools anymore, and only a diminishing number of veterans who fought in it are still with us. So, ignorance about it is understandable.
"It was a war in which the United States defeated Nazi Germany, and fascist Italy and Japan. The U.S. freed Europe from Nazi occupation and made the world safe for democracy, as quaint as that might sound today.
"Biden, prepping for his presidency — and tired of using Hitler as an insult — came up with Goebbels, who was Hitler’s propaganda minister and a master of the Big Lie. . . ."

Biden Is Blundering Us Into World War 3 - National File "The Joe Biden administration is blundering America into a World War 3 scenario as tensions rise globally. We are looking at a WW3 in which the regime controlling America does not represent the American people, there is zero national cohesion, and there are no clear objectives except the profit-oriented destabilization goals and petty rivalries of the Oligarchs. Such a war is not winnable for the American government, and could spark a massive bipartisan antiwar movement to challenge the bellicose decisions of the Biden regime." . . .
Woke Is Stupid: Hasbro Neuters Mr. Potato Head, Drops ‘Mister
UPDATE: Hasbro said it will label the toy as Potato Head, but Mr. & Mrs. Potato Head are not going anywhere. I guess they’re trying to please everyone?
"Well, earlier, the Associated Press reported Mr. Potato Head no longer exists:
Hasbro, the company that makes the potato-shaped plastic toy, is giving the spud a gender neutral new name: Potato Head. The change will appear on boxes this year.
Toy makers have been updating their classic brands to appeal to kids today. Barbie has shed its blonde image and now comes in multiple skin tones and body shapes. Thomas the Tank Engine added more girl characters. And American Girl is now selling a boy doll.
Hasbro said Mr. Potato Head, which has been around for about 70 years, needed a modern makeover.
"But then Hasbro tried to save face!" . . .
