Welcome to the Era of ‘Unintended Consequences’
As Democrats prepare to enact the most ultra-liberal agenda since the New Deal, we can predict two things with a fair degree of certainty. First, the results are likely to be disastrous. Second, those results (when reported at all) will be portrayed either as brilliant, runaway successes, or the necessary costs of doing business to obtain a just society.

While Toronto police did their best to quell any form of protest or free speech at Yonge-Dundas Square this past weekend, a few blocks away, protesters were marching in solidarity with those arrested.

Moderna to cut deliveries to Canada in new blow to vaccination campaign
Canada’s vaccination campaign is facing yet another hurdle in the race to inoculate people against the deadly novel coronavirus with the announcement today that Moderna will delay some shipments of its product next month.
The Massachusetts-based company was set to send some 230,400 shots to Canada next week, with 249,600 shots to follow three weeks later, but those forecasts have now been up-ended, a testament to just how uncertain the government’s vaccine projections have become.

The Left’s Unhinged Reaction To $15 Minimum Wage Legislation
If there’s a lesson that Democrats can learn from the first month of 2021, it’s that the left flank of their party exists to complain and trying to keep it happy is an exercise in futility. In the short time that President Joe Biden has held office, the left of his party has shown that it’s not operating in good faith.
Capitol rioter wants to testify against Donald Trump
On the eve of his arraignment, an attorney for Jacob Chansley, the so-called “QAnon Shaman,” said he’s ready to turn on former President Donald Trump.

Blue-staters flee blue-state policies…and then vote for them again
Several data sources show the exodus of residents from blue states to traditionally red states. The recent U-Haul ranking of states by migration growth is one of the most compelling; after all, that’s where the rubber meets the road. U-Haul migration trends show that Tennessee had the largest net gain of U-Haul trucks crossing its borders in 2020. Rounding out the top ten are Texas, Florida, Ohio, Arizona, Colorado, Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina and Georgia. California is no longer golden, as it ranks dead last; folks are also commissioning their U-Hauls to escape other deep blue states like New York and Illinois.
The ‘Farcical and Empty Claims’ of Islam’s Greatest University
Al-Azhar, the Muslim world’s most prestigious if not authoritative Islamic university, recently blasted Jerome, the archbishop of Athens and all Greece, for saying during a January 14 interview that “Islam, its people, is not a religion but a political party” — that Muslims are “the people of war … who seek expansion,” which is a “characteristic of Islam.”

You may not have heard some of Kendi’s other ideas, such as his proposal to create a federal Department of Antiracism to go after speech and policies that don’t fit Kendi’s definition of “antiracist.”
Unite and Heal With Show Trials and Fascist Purges
Enjoy unity at gunpoint in the Bidenist banana republic.
Joe Biden has called for “unity” and “healing”. And nobody knows as much about healing as Joe whose wife has a doctorate in education from the university that hosts his Biden Institute and the Beau Biden Foundation which was charging $3K for lessons on preventing online child sex grooming even as Hunter’s laptop with the Foundation’s sticker allegedly showed him doing it.
Get the troops out of DC – Biden’s war on ‘domestic terror’ is wildly disproportionate and authoritarian.
The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a national terrorism bulletin yesterday, warning that extremists ‘may be emboldened’ by the 6 January riot at the Capitol to ‘incite or commit violence’. This alert came the day after reports that the 7,000 National Guard currently on duty in Washington, DC will remain until ‘at least’ the end of March.
Just consider how extraordinary these measures are.
Journalists Mobilize Against Free Speech
A new generation of media crusaders clamor for government control over what you see, hear, and read—and for banning their competition
American journalism once thought of itself as being inherently and institutionally pro free speech. Visitors to the Newseum, the media industry’s temple of self-glorification on Constitution Avenue in Washington, were once greeted with the First Amendment inscribed across 74 vertical feet of lofty marble. The Newseum has been closed since late 2019, its operators having discovered the hard way that the public doesn’t share the media’s heroic level of regard for itself.
