New York Pilots COVID Passport of Sorts to Fast-Track Reopening: Here’s How It Works

The governor announced a pilot program Tuesday to test the Excelsior Pass during events at the two arenas. Think of the pass like a “COVID passport” of sorts, one that relies on technology to confirm a person’s vaccination or recent negative virus test through a confidential data transfer.

Salon: Conservatives Are New ‘Good Germans’ of Nazi Era, Seek ‘Friendly Fascism’

A Salon essay published on Friday accuses Republicans of resembling “good Germans” of the Nazi era — wishing to believe they are decent people while hiding behind “fictions of plausible deniability for the evils committed by their leader” — and describes today’s conservatism as seeking “friendly fascism” masked in an appeal to return to “traditional values.”

No, CPAC’s Stage Layout Wasn’t A Secret Nazi Symbol, And It’s An Offensive Claim With Zero Evidence

This past weekend, the Conservative Political Action Conference came to Orlando, Florida — a state still open during the COVID-19 pandemic. For the venue, CPAC organizers chose the Hyatt Regency, which saw speeches from President Donald Trump, Senators Ted Cruz, and Josh Hawley, and Reps. Jim Jordan and Matt Gaetz among others.

According to Leftist Twitter, the Hyatt also hosted Nazis. But if that was the ostensible goal of CPAC, boy did it fail.

WATCH: Rob Reiner claims “only strategy” of the GOP is “preserve America for white people, stop people of color from voting”

“To me, Donald Trump is the greatest gift to the Democratic Party you could ever have. There was a very famous quote by Rick Wilson. He wrote a book called ‘Everything Trump Touches Dies,’ and his whole life, whether it’s his businesses or his political career, he is a loser,” Reiner claimed “Ultimately, he lost the White House. He was impeached twice. He lost the Senate. He lost the House. He lost seats in Georgia. To me, the Republican Party is being consumed and taken over by this false idol. You talk about a false idol. You see that golden statue moved into CPAC. I mean, they’re bowing down to a false idol.”

Lie-Filled CNN Analysis Of Trump CPAC Speech

Most notably, Trump’s first post-presidency address, at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando, included his usual lies about the 2020 election. He continued to falsely insist he was the legitimate winner and continued to falsely insist the election was “rigged.”

Okay, I understand no one likes CNN. We don’t like CNN either, and rarely use their articles. If we do, it should be obvious to regular BCF readers that there’s a very good reason. Additionally, we archive the article so 1) CNN can’t revise the archive and 2) so when you visit the link, you’re not actually going to an insane lefty site.

There is knowledge to be gained from knowing your enemy – a la Sun Tzu – and I hope you realize we sort through a huge number of articles trying find ones you’ll find interesting. Please don’t give a kneejerk rejection, and thank you all for reading.

5 Things You Need To Know About The Extremist ‘Equality Act’ House Democrats Just Passed

On Thursday, the House of Representatives passed the so-called Equality Act by a vote of 224 to 206. While Democrats have marketed this legislation as a simple civil rights law designed to protect LGBTQ people from discrimination, it is far from that.

The statutory language instead provides for an extreme remaking of all aspects of society, destroys the promise of equality for women, and threatens religious liberty and the privacy rights of all Americans, especially children. The proposed law also will upend state and federal protections of the unborn—yes, the Equality Act is about abortion too.

Capitol review to recommend adding more fencing, 1,000 officers: report

The draft proposal of recommendations comes just over a month after Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) tapped retired Lt. General Russel Honoré to review security around the Capitol in the wake of a mob of former President Trump’s supporters laying siege to the building in an attempt to prevent the certification of President Biden’s Electoral College victory.

Americans See Both AOC and Pelosi as Wildly Unlikeable

When you review the latest congressional favorability poll, it is incredible that Democrats hold the House or the Senate. Rassmussen polled 1,000 likely voters, which means a respondent has voted in the last several elections, and asked them about our congressional leaders, and added Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to see how she compared with Speaker Nancy Pelosi and who voters thought congressional Democrats in Congress should emulate.

The results are mixed. Individually, Ocasio-Cortez is wildly unlikeable, but so are Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.

Tucker Carlson says Democrats are making people so ‘paranoid and crazy’ they could ‘create violent extremism’

“If the Democratic Party is trying to create violent extremism, they are doing exactly what you would do if you want to create it,” Carlson said Tuesday evening during an interview with Sen. Josh Hawley. “They are making people paranoid and crazy. People feel totally undefended and afraid.”
