Capitol Attacker Identified, and the Left Won't Like This  . . . "No motive has been established yet, but almost immediately after reports of the incident appeared on social media, the Left immediately started to blame Donald Trump and the Capitol riot in January for the incident.

"According to the suspect’s now-deleted Facebook page, he was definitely not a Trump supporter.

“Peace, friends, family, enemies, and the like,” Green wrote in a Facebook post in March. “To be honest these past few years have been tough, and these past few months have been tougher. I have been tried with some of the biggest, unimaginable tests in my life. I am currently now unemployed after I left my job partly due to afflictions, but ultimately, in search of a spiritual journey.”

Here’s a Modest Proposal for Handling Biden’s Nominees

Jeremy Carl

"You may have missed it in the tumult of the news cycle, but just last week, we were treated to a masterclass in statesmanship by Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), who announced a new rule: Hereafter, she will oppose all of Joe Biden’s nominees who are not LGBTQ or minorities.

“I will vote for racial minorities and I will vote for LGBTQ, but anybody else I’m not voting for,” the Democratic Demosthenes told an eager audience of reporters. She was soon joined in her effort by the Solon of the Senate, Maize Hirono (D-Hawaii), whose intelligence, wisdom, and integrity are often remarked upon by Capitol observers.

"I believe that enacting a GOP version of the new Duckworth-Hirono rule, which drew praise from many in the media and was obviously effective in getting both attention and political concessions from Biden, will make Republicans more popular with the press, which is always interested in equal treatment of both parties.

"After all, within hours of Duckworth’s announcement, Biden—shamed at having his obvious racism against Asian Americans exposed—announced he would appoint a senior Asian American White House liaison to make sure that this group would no longer suffer from only moderate over-representation in Biden’s cabinet-level appointments. As a result, Duckworth and Hirono agreed to suspend their rule—for now. Mission accomplished!

"Since the Duckworth-Hirono rule has obviously proved so effective, the GOP version of Duckworth-Hirono rule should be a perfect parallel to the original. And since Republicans always seem eager to copy Democratic initiatives, this one should be a natural fit. In fact, by following the Democrats by days instead of years, we’ll be ahead of the curve!  . . ."

Radical New Rules for Post-America

Victor Davis Hanson

Americans privately fear these rules, while publicly appearing to accept them.

"There are 10 new ideas that are changing America, maybe permanently.  

1) Money is a construct. It can be created from thin air. Annual deficits and aggregate national debt no longer matter much. 

"Prior presidents ran up huge annual deficits. But at least there were some concessions that the money was real and had to be paid back. 

"Not now. As we near $30 trillion in national debt and 110 percent of annual GDP, our elites either believe permanent zero interest rates make the cascading obligation irrelevant, or the larger the debt, the more likely we will be forced to address needed income redistribution. 

"2) Laws are not necessarily binding anymore. Joe Biden took an oath to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” But he has willfully rendered federal immigration laws null and void. Some rioters are prosecuted for violating federal laws, others not so much. Arrests, prosecutions, and trials are all fluid. Ideology governs when a law is still considered a law. 

"Crime rates do not necessarily matter. If someone is carjacked, assaulted, or shot, it can be understood to be as much his fault as the perpetrator’s. Either the victim was too lax, uncaring, and insensitive, or he provoked his attacker. How useful the crime is to the larger agendas of the Left determines whether a victim is really a victim, and the victimizer really a victimizer. 

"3) Racialism is now acceptable. We are defined first by our particular ethnic or religious tribe, only secondarily—if at all—by an American commonality. Unapologetic and explicit exclusion of whites from dorms, graduations, safe spaces, welfare, and federal aid programs is now noncontroversial. It is unspoken payback for perceived past sins, or a type of “good” racism. Falsely being called a racist makes one more guilty than falsely calling someone else a racist. 

"4) The immigrant is mostly preferable to the citizen. The newcomer, unlike the host, is not stained by the sins of America’s founding and history. Most citizens currently must follow quarantine rules, social distancing, stay out of school, and obey all the laws. 

"Yet those entering the United States en masse and illegally need not follow such apparently superfluous COVID-19 rules. Their children should be immediately schooled without worry of quarantine. Immigrants need not worry about their illegal entry or residence in America. Our elites believe illegal entrants more resemble the “founders” than do legal citizens, about half of whom they consider irredeemable." . . . More...

Biden’s Disastrous Infrastructure Plan

Nation and State

Perhaps Biden, who has been employed by the federal government since 1973, is unaware that redistributing wealth is not only the antithesis of a fair economy, but it does not reward work; it disincentivizes it.

"On Wednesday, President Biden traveled to Pittsburgh to continue to advance his progressive agenda with his massive $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan, which he is disingenuously calling the “American Jobs Plan” (AJP). In a couple weeks, he will present the second part of the proposal, called the “American Families Plan.”

"Similarly to the $1.9 trillion “American Rescue Plan” stimulus package that he signed into law last month, of which only 9 percent was related to COVID relief, Biden’s latest monstrosity has little to do with its supposed purpose. His infrastructure plan is not pro-worker, pro-union, or pro-growth, as he claims.

"Biden’s speech was classic Scranton Joe: alarmist, divisive, disingenuous, specious, short on specifics, and at times incoherent.

“ 'Today I’m proposing a plan for the nation that rewards work, not just rewards wealth. It builds a fair economy that gives everybody a chance to succeed. And it’s going to create the strongest, most resilient, innovative economy in the world,” Biden said."

"Perhaps Biden, who has been employed by the federal government since 1973, is unaware that redistributing wealth is not only the antithesis of a fair economy, but it does not reward work; it disincentivizes it.

"In his speech, when he was not busy dividing the country along racial lines, Biden did so by creating class division: “Millions of Americans lost their jobs last year, while the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans saw their net worth increase by $4 trillion. Just goes to show you how distorted and unfair our economy has become.” Apparently, Biden still has yet to figure out that a meteorite did not hit planet Earth, but rather never-ending lockdowns. And unscientific restrictions that his administration continues to advocate are entirely responsible for many of those jobs that were lost in the last year." . . .

The rabid left comes for Obama

Monica Showalter  . . . "Obama was a lot like the current Joe Biden.  Like Joe,

he  encouraged waves of illegal immigration, but I guess he had to allow the Border Patrol to do some of its lawfully committed duty.  He also built the kids-in-cages cages, not President Trump, though the left tried to pin those on Trump.  During his presidency, leftists yelled that he was the "deporter in chief" based on the fact that he encouraged illegal immigration yet didn't completely open the border.  The logical outcome of that is obvious: human waves plus kids in cages.  Joe Biden, who was placed in charge of the matter at the time, is now making his same old mistakes, senile and unable to learn.

So now we have people who shouldn't be here, and their advocates, demanding that Obama be canceled.  They've already done their worst on George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.  Now they've moved on to Obama.  The funny thing here is that if it were anyone but Obama, Obama would support the move.  Now that it's Obama's turn in the barrel, and there's no Trump to kick around, it will be interesting to see whether and how he reacts.

Chauvin Trial: Meet the Jurors; broadly diverse in terms of gender, race, and age

Tony Branco

 Legal Insurrection  "Welcome to our ongoing coverage of the Minnesota murder trial of Derek Chauvin, over the in-custody death of George Floyd.  I am Attorney Andrew Branca for Law of Self Defense, providing guest commentary and analysis of this trial for Legal Insurrection.

"With the trial set to begin with opening arguments on Monday, March 29 at 9:00am CT, the court finally managed to select 15 jurors effective yesterday.  Only 14 of these will actually be sworn in and seated on Monday morning—if all 15 chosen show up, one of them will be sent home.  The court’s given no indication on the process to be used to choose the 15^th unnecessary juror—it may simply be whoever shows up last on Monday.

"In any case, I thought I’d take the opportunity to collect what we know of the jurors, both in aggregate and individually, here in a single blog post, along with brief descriptions of the jurors as shared by the court and media, including their gender and race.  The descriptions of the jurors are sourced from USA Today, as well as from my own notes taken during voir dire.)

So Gaetz was telling the truth all along about the FBI probe into extortion, official confirms

 Monica Showalter  "Seems the media's rush to judgment on the matter of Rep. Matt Gaetz, a popular conservative Florida Republican, who was smeared in the New York Times as someone in a relationship with a 17-year-old girl, might just leave them with egg all over their faces.

"Again.

"There's no doubt about it, the press came down hard on Gaetz, whose defense of himself on the Tucker Carlson show, following the Times hit piece, included describing an extortion plot, was broadly ridiculed as "improbable," "QAnon" and "bizarre," "bizarre," and "bizarre." Even some on the right called it "bizarre."

Derek Chauvin, Human Sacrifice

Black residents of Minneapolis are threatening to burn the place down if Chauvin isn’t convicted — and the only reason anyone thinks a jury could possibly return a guilty verdict is that they believe them.

Cartoon Stock

 Ann Coulter   "In modern America, we periodically offer up white men as human sacrifices to the PC gods. Among our benefactions: Jake Gardner, Kyle Rittenhouse, Darren Wilson, the Duke lacrosse players, University of Virginia fraternity members, Stacey Koon and Mark Fuhrman.

"The rest of us just keep our heads down and pray we won’t be next.

"At least the Duke and UVA human offerings were sufficiently upper-crust to have a few journalists and lawyers defending them. But policemen, bar owners, military veterans and a Midwest teenager? Definitely not our crowd, darling.

"Currently, Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin is on trial for killing George Floyd by kneeling on his neck, as it appeared in cellphone videos. You may remember something about this: It’s why America had to burn in 2020.

"But the chief medical examiner’s report establishes that, however else Floyd died, it wasn’t from Chauvin’s knee. Oopsie! I guess it wasn’t absolutely essential that our country go through eight months of looting, riots and mostly peaceful arsons.

Australian Reporter: 'Woke' Biden Destroying Military, Making World 'More Dangerous'

"The US military is increasingly going woke and falling for PC fads and identity politics and narratives that come straight out of the hard progressive left."And that means America’s enemies from Beijing to Tehran, are not just laughing, but planning."These are dangerous times and thanks to Joe Biden, they’re getting a lot more dangerous."

 "One of Australia's top journalists has raised major concerns about Joe Biden's leadership, warning that the world is becoming a "more dangerous place" while Biden is focusing on making the U.S. Military more "woke."

"During a recent broadcast, Sky News host James Morrow said America’s enemies have started to become more aggressive around the world as the United States becomes weaker under Democrat Biden.

"On Friday, Chinese forces committed their largest-ever incursion into Taiwanese airspace, as worries grow by the day of a Chinese invasion of the Democratic island.". . . 

" 'Surely the U.S. is still big enough and ugly enough to ward off anyone planning anything truly dangerous, right?" the reporter mused.

"Well, not so fast because the U.S. military, I am sorry to report, has fallen prey to invading armies of PC wokesters, human resources PowerPoint jockeys, and identity politics radicals." . . .
