A new Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday shows just 38 percent of Americans approve of the job Biden is doing, down from 42 percent in the same poll three weeks ago and 50 percent approval in mid-February.
BS. It’s half that.

Afghanistan: Deadly attack hits Kunduz mosque during Friday prayers
A suicide bomber has targeted a mosque in the northern Afghan city of Kunduz during Friday prayers, killing at least 50 people, local officials say.
Images on social media showed bodies and debris inside the mosque, used by the minority Shia Muslim community.
No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack.
Sunni Muslim extremists, including the local Islamic State (IS) group, have targeted the Shia community because they consider them to be heretics.

Rising Energy Costs Show Naïve Virtue Signaling Has A Serious Price
It’s easy to go along with the trendy viewpoints when it seems like ‘others’ will deal with the cost. Now, that cost is going to hit all of us.
DANIEL: To Biden, ‘Unity’ Means Crushing All Dissent
Joe Biden’s pitch to the American people in 2020 hinged on the simple fact that he was not Trump. Moreover, his election would reverse the previous four years of caustic division that had defined the Trump era.
“On this January day, my whole soul is in this: bringing America together. Uniting our people. And uniting our nation. I ask every American to join me in this cause … I pledge this to you: I will be a president for all Americans, and I promise you I will fight as hard for those who didn’t support me as those who did,” he promised in his inauguration speech.
We would become one America again.
Biden’s brand of unity, however, seems to demand the suppression of dissent.

Ottawa urged to crack down on Facebook after bombshell whistleblower testimony before U.S. Senate
Startling testimony delivered this week by a former Facebook employee should spur Ottawa to rein in the social media giant with tougher and more comprehensive regulations, say technology experts and people fighting against online hate.
Tackling anti-Black racism in Canadian health care: Experts putting together first primer of its kind
In Canada, many medical students aren’t taught specifically how best to treat Black patients and how to keep anti-Black racism out of health care — with patients suffering the consequences.
Now, a collaboration of prominent Canadian Black health researchers are coming together to change that, aiming to create the first health primer of its kind to educate health care providers and ultimately improve care for Black Canadians.

All Social Media Users Should Give Platforms Personal Information, Have ‘Opinions’ Verified As ‘True’: Don Lemon
Politicians and the legacy media should be able to know the real name and physical location of every individual who posts any negative comment about them on any online platform, said CNN’s Don Lemon on Tuesday night. He added that social media platforms should only allow people to post their “opinion” if it is “true.”
Twitter wants to flag ‘heated’ or ‘intense’ conversations
Twitter announced Wednesday it is testing a feature that will alert users that a conversation could be “heated” or “intense.” In a tweet, the company described the experiment as “a work in progress as we learn how to better support healthy conversation.”
Democrats Attempt To Provoke Violence
In the years running up to the 2020 election, I posited that the Democrat Party was doing all it could to keep their mob angry, but only to a certain point. They wanted their base simmering, just short of a boil, but ready at a moment’s notice to goose step off to action wherever needed. It was a delicate line they walked, they needed people mad without inspiring violence that could be blamed on them, they had to avoid creating another James Hodgkinson. Now their objective has changed…slightly. Democrats appear to be doing all they can to provoke violence against their own. Anything, absolutely anything, for the cause.
People Notice When the Elites Lie
I’m going to try to explain what’s going on in America right now by drawing a connection between two news stories. On the surface, they don’t seem to have much to do with each other, but when you really think about them, it’s obvious that there’s a common thread.
Victor Davis Hanson: ‘Open Borders,‘ ‘Globalism,‘ ‘Tribalism‘ Are Reminiscent of Rome‘s Collapse
“Every nation that has survived has had borders that were defensible and clear, and the idea was that they have their own space to inculcate their language or traditions or customs, then enhance their constitution. Without that, it’s just short of a migratory, 5th century A.D. Rome where people come across the Danube River and destroy the nation-state.”
How Fox News conquered America
Every sneer, jibe and insult only makes it stronger
There was something almost quaint about America in 1993. The Internet was barely out of the cot; the Cold War was over; Kurt Cobain was alive; and Bill Clinton was still viewed as a faithful husband. Even the Israel-Palestine conflict looked fixable.
C.I.A. Reorganization to Place New Focus on China … and Climate change??
The agency will create two new mission centers, one focused on China, the other focused on emerging technology, climate change and global health.
WASHINGTON — The C.I.A. will embark on a reorganization intended to focus more on China, the agency’s director announced on Thursday.
At the heart of the effort will be a new China Mission Center meant to bring more resources to studying the country and better position officers around the world to collect information and analyze China’s activities.
The new center “will further strengthen our collective work on the most important geopolitical threat we face in the 21st Century, an increasingly adversarial Chinese government,” William J. Burns, the agency’s director, said in a statement.
Climate change? I’m not feeling safer for some reason.
The Power is on the Side of the Killers, Not Their Victims
What Rep. Cori Bush’s racist defense of a black man’s killer tells us about power.
On a cold day in a Missouri winter, Mary Bratcher never came home to the trailer park where the single mother lived with her three children. She was working that night as a manager at a Casey’s General Store in Columbia helping out Mable Scruggs, another single mother, making ends meet by picking up a night shift. Neither of the two women would make it home again.
