On Biden Claiming that January 6th Was the Worst Attack On Democracy Since the Civil War

Yeah, I'm sorry but anybody who claims that some modest property damage by a cadre of idiots and with the only deaths being on the side of the rioters (Officer Siknik died afterwards from unrelated causes) was somehow worse than Pearl Harbor, the Kennedy assassination, the Gulf of Tonkin, 9/11, etc. is probably too dumb to be the Commander In Chief. I'm just sayin'.

On the Dude from Mumford and Son Apologizing for Having Complimented Andy Ngo's Book, "Unmasked" (a Volume that Does a Fairly Decent Job of Exposing the Idiotic, Anti-Free-Speech, and Violent Bullshit Group, Antifa)

I've said it once and I'll say it again, DON'T APOLOGIZE TO THE MOB! And especially don't apologize if you've said something completely defensible (the book has a 5.0 average rating on Amazon with thousands of reviews and everybody with half a brain knows that Antifa is a disgusting and destructive bunch of miscreants who put the whole country though hell last summer and who need to put down hard if they even attempt to replicate it this summer). Granted, the fellow's probably just trying to get his gig back but, still, isn't your dignity more important?

On the Fact that the NBA and MLB Apparently Think that Asking Someone for Some Form of ID (a Driver's License, Utility Bill, Pay Stub, or the Last Four Digits of Your Social Security Number) Is a Greater Indignity than Slave Labor, Gulags, etc.

Yeah, I guess that when stacks of Benjamins capable of reaching Jupiter are involved (while servicing the communist Chinese), whatever moral compass that these assholes may have had pretty-much goes out the window. Obviously.

On President Biden's Claim that White Supremacists Are the Greatest Threat Facing America Today - https://bongino.com/no-right-wing-terrorism-is-not-more-common-that-islamic-extremism/

His main source for this I suspect is a 2017 report from the Government Accountability Office called, "Countering Violent Extremism", a problematic analysis that a) conveniently begins at 9/12/2001 (one day after the twin towers went down), b) counts individual murders as terror attacks, c) stretches the definition of white supremacist to include people like the retard who shot up Umpqua Community College, a self-described mixed-race dude who's prey were largely Christians, and d) bases it's study on the number of attacks, not the number of deaths (13 more coming from Muslim attacks). It also doesn't include the hundreds of mass murders since 2001 by black gangsters that have slaughtered nearly 20 innocent black children just this year. Granted, Mr. Biden could probably give a rat's ass about these facts, figuring that his half-sauced supporters will likely buy this foolishness but, please, we at least have to attempt to set the record straight, no?

Twenty First Question for President Biden

Mr. Biden, in your address to the Nation last night you argued that the wealthy needed to start paying their fair-share. Being that the top 1% is already paying 40.1% of all income taxes (greater than the botom 50% combined) and an effective tax-rate in excess of 25% (https://taxfoundation.org/federal-income-tax-data-2021/), what would your satisfactory definition of "fair-share" be? And, please, be specific.

On Living In a Country Where Independent Journalists with Little More than a Smart-Phone In Their Hands and a Thousand Twitter Followers Are Somehow Able to Deliver More Accurate and Less Partisan News to Their Readers and/or Viewers than These Heavily Conflicted Multi-Billion Dollar Corporate Enterprises Whose Reporters Are a Lot More Like Deep-State Stenographers than Professional News People

 Not that journalists were ever perfect, mind you, but we did have some solid ones (Tim Russert, Mike Wallace, and Frank Reynolds rapidly come to mind), and even the more pedestrian ones at least tried to be accurate and fair in their presentations. Today, well, you have eyes. Judge for yourself.

On the Fact that if We're Going to Call January 6th an, "Insurrection", then We Had Better Be Calling -

a) the storming of the federal courthouse in Portland causing massive damage, b) the breaking into of the Iowa state capitol while causing mayhem, c) the breaking into of the Columbus police department with officers getting attacked, and d) the bum-rushing of the Oklahoma state capitol, ditto, 'cause if we don't, you think that we have chaos now, oh boy.
