It’s Monday, December 5th, 2022…but before we begin, while perusing YouTube, we came across this bit of revisionist history:
Yes, two sieges to be exact, Ruby Ridge and the Branch Davidian compound, BOTH initiated by a MASSIVE federal government overreaction to relatively minor issues, the former involving government entrapment, and both of which (a) could have been settled by alternative peaceful means, and (b) involved the willful murder of innocent civilians by government forces without provocation or exigent circumstances.
More importantly, while in no way, shape or form condoning or excusing the bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building, both debacles led to the radicalization of Timothy McVeigh, who was an onsite observer to the Branch Davidian massacre.
Now consider the fact social media is the primary means through which young people gather their news and facts, and you’ll understand damage such inaccurate history does. And it’s not like the our education system is doing anything to counter such propaganda with the truth.
Now, here’s The Gouge!
First up, since we’re on the subject of the effects of Progressive propaganda on the gullible, allow us to summarize the plot [SPOILER ALERT!!!] of Don’t Look Up, a hilarious piece of satire we recently viewed. The movie portrays a pair of astronomers trying to convince the political powers-that-be, primarily a female president, and a disinterested public a comet they’ve discovered is on a collision course with Earth, which will result in an extinction level event in 6 months and 14 days.
The president, worried about news of the comet adversely impacting her fortunes in the midterms only three weeks away (remember, the comet hits in 6 months and 14 days), initially decides to do nothing but “sit tight and assess”. But when scandal erupts on news she sent photos of her private parts to an utterly unqualified SCOTUS nominee with whom she’s been having an affair, she reverses course and authorizes a plan using the space shuttle and accompanying nuclear weapons to knock the comet off course.
During the launch, the Steve Jobs-ish billionaire founder of cell-phone giant BASH freely enters the situation room and demands the president speak with him outside, immediately followed by the mission being scrubbed. The president then convenes a cabinet meeting and reveals the reason behind the cancellation: BASH astrogeologists have determined the comet contains well over $100 trillion in rare earths and minerals, and the tech giant has a plan to break up the comet and then deliver the pieces to earth for use by BASH.
Now comes the claim by the tech billionaire regarding the ultimate impact of obtaining this bounty:
“And when these treasures from heaven are claimed, poverty as we know it, social injustice, loss of biodiversity, all these multitudes of problems will become relics of the past and humanity will stride through the pillars of Boaz and Jachin, naked into the glory of a golden age.“
Not profits for him, rather paradise for the public. Yeah,…whatever. Progressives are always promising their policies will usher in Utopia; They just need to spend more of your money.
Which brings us to another MoJo clip, this one listing the top ten things the movie got right and wrong. Listen to #6:
Got that? Such rare earths are necessary for “electronics, batteries and clean energy hardware.” Note the ending afterthought: “We only hope the mining is done in a nature-friendly way.” SERIOUSLY?!?
This brings to mind one of our favorite scenes from Seinfeld:
Or the realities of mining, for that matter.
But such detachment from reality isn’t limited to YouTubers, as demonstrated by this item forwarded by the great Geffoir relating how the, in a council vote of 9-0, Montgomery County, MD enacted the first ban on natural gas as a source of heat in 2026, forcing all new construction to use electricity for heating and hot water.
It’s almost as if they haven’t the faintest clue what produces the vast majority of electricity in the country, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
“…The woman who helms the department, Barbara Ferrer, has come under fire for mask hypocrisy as well as for her daughter authoring a study used to justify forced masking in school. Her daughter, Kaitlin Barnes, has no scientific or medical degree, and no conflicts of interest were mentioned. (Then again, neither does her mother!!!)
As Fox News’ Bill Melugin shared in a Twitter thread, Ferrer gave a press conference on Thursday, during which she wore a mask even while speaking and warned that the county could go back to indoor masking, if they get into the Centers for Disease Control’s (CDC) “high” transmission & hospitalization categories. They are currently in the “medium” category.
During the question and answer portion, Ferrar shared “I’ve personally been pleased” that she’s seen people wearing their masks again.
“As Melugin highlighted in sharing the video of the press conference, Ferrar was asked “does the LA health department condone China’s ‘zero COVID’ policies.” It was the last question asked as the event was wrapping up.
In her non-response, Ferrar claimed “you know, I-I mean it’s not our place, um, to really comment on other countries and their policies,” she offered. It got worse from there.
“And, you know, it’s super complicated, even in this country, to make good decisions. As always, um, we appreciate, that–that governments have an understanding and an obligation to keep people as safe as possible,” Ferrar continued, seemingly expressing appreciation for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) before adding that “we also appreciate as you’ve seen here, the need for people to have the resources, um, that are necessary for survival and to thrive. Um, so we will let China work on their policies, while we work with all of you on our policies here.”
Ferrar appeared to not only follow the rulebook of Dr. Anthony Fauci and the Biden administration, but arguably came off as worse, if that’s even possible. At best, she came off as incredibly ignorant…”
So Ferrer can, and has, judged Florida and Texas but she can’t express an opinion on China?
As we’ve suggested numerous times before, such individuals are either hopelessly naive, willfully ignorant or deliberately deceptive. Either way, they deserve no position of prominence in public office of discourse.
Moving on, here’s a septet of specially selected items sure to pique the interest of inquiring Conservative minds:
Which brings us, appropriately enough, to The Lighter Side:
Finally, we’ll call it a wrap with this from the lovely Shannon…
…which says everything that need be said about the Environazis.
One more thing: They should be forced to endure the Third World’s continued exposure to the devastatingly deadly depredations of malaria they themselves were spared owing to the effects of DDT, the same incredibly-effective counter their patron saint Rachel Carson deliberately mislabeled a carcinogen, resulting in the deaths of untold tens of millions around the globe.
But hey, and least they can sleep at night knowing they’re eating vegan or have a Prius in their garage.

A little insight into a common Hollywood depiction. We’re in awe of the courage of those who offered up their own lives as sacrifice for others. Brings the true meaning of Christmas to mind, don’t it?!?
