We discussed self-defense, how the government is destabilizing the country by creating social disorder, etc. My appearance begins at 01:50.

Given that COVID-19 “vaccines” have now been approved for children 5 through 11 and kids are sometimes even required to get the shot, many parents are unsure about how to proceed. But a major new study out of Germany should make their decision easy. Released Monday, it found that not even one healthy child aged 5 through 18 died of COVID-19 during the first 15 months of the pandemic.

You read that right: Zero died.

You “cannot power the world with solar panels and wind turbines alone.” So said Energy Committee ranking member Senator John Barrasso (R-Wy.) during the recent American Nuclear Society winter conference in Washington, D.C. Barrasso was reaffirming his support for nuclear energy, and in this was joined by the committee’s chairman, Democrat Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia.

The two senators emphasized that the United States must produce more energy and not be reliant on foreign nations.

If “Hollywood continues down this road” toward political correctness, writes China’s Global Times, “it will dig its own grave and destroy its reputation one day.”

One day? Many might say that that the destruction of Hollywood’s current reputation would be an improvement. But China’s admonishment, published Monday, speaks volumes about many things — woke culture’s and the Western Left’s (short) future among them.

Unbeknownst to many, and in the sense in which kids would sometimes use the word, Beijing “owns” Hollywood. That is, Beijing’s powerful State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT) actually succeeds in censoring many of our movies, using the threat that if producers don’t make their flicks China-friendly, they’ll be denied access to the nation’s lucrative market. It’s the NBA phenomenon — “No Boldness Anywhere” (except Beijing).

As for the current chastisement….

“Moral issues are always complex matters — for people who have no principles.” When pondering this apocryphal saying, it could come to mind that the same is true of legal issues, in particular, constitutional ones. This was essentially the point Senator John Kennedy (R-La.) made Tuesday on the Senate floor. Criticizing the flawed Roe v. Wade (1973) opinion, Kennedy encouraged the Supreme Court to overturn its predecessors’ folly in the current Dobbs v. Jackson case, which concerns the matter of whether pre-viability restrictions on prenatal infanticide are constitutional.

Bumbling and stumbling is what we flawed humans do. During WWII, Admiral William Halsey sailed his fleet into a typhoon. In 1979, the Three Mile Island nuclear reactor melted down largely because of, apparently, poorly trained plant operators. In 1999, NASA lost its $125 million Mars Climate Orbiter due to a metric-Imperial system mix-up.

But the COVID-19 response is assuredly the greatest blunder in American history. This is especially true since, a bit like Halsey having engaged the typhoon repeatedly to see if he could get even, our “health” authorities never make the same mistake twice.

They make it five or six times, just to be sure.

(Joke hat tip: Senator John Kennedy, R-La.)

The reality is that despite the coronavirus response’s abject failure, Dr. Anthony Fauci and his fellow travelers refuse to change course. They just love immersion in the typhoon, despite their policy ship having already sailed — and sunk.

In a social media feed Monday, I came across a 1979 60 Minutes segment on the propaganda surrounding the 1976 swine flu panic. Many of us had already heard about how the event was reminiscent of today’s COVID-1984 con, but actually watching the segment drives home how striking the parallels between the two disease scares are. Exaggerations of the bugs’ severity, media propaganda and fear-mongering, an effort to vaccinate the whole nation, serious vaccine-coincident side-effects, and an apparent government cover-up of the latter were all elements of the ’76 fiasco just as they epitomize what’s occurring today.

The segment opened with late 60 Minutes host Mike Wallace saying:

Studies have shown that abused children end up with impaired cognitive functioning. Now consider that kids born shortly before the COVID-19 situation and enduring its regulations also, according to new research, have impaired cognitive functioning.

Perhaps this makes clear why a prominent commentator, and others, said long ago that COVID regulations — masking included — are “child abuse.”

The research in question, out of Brown University in Rhode Island, does in fact identify masking as a possible cause of the cognitive decline, which is severe.

One of the reasons anabolic steroids are illegal in sports is that they greatly increase users’ chances of developing health problems and premature death. Thus have we long known that manipulating your body’s hormones is to play with fire. Nonetheless, children who believe they’re “stuck in the body of the wrong sex” have often been treated with puberty blockers. But now, a report out of Sweden indicates that such kids are often being severely and permanently damaged by this radical intervention.

How do you solve a problem like Kama-la♫?

Unlike the nun in the Sound of Music, Democrats won’t be singing about their troublesome lady. But they may wish they could just send Kamala Harris to a convent. Since they can’t, however, they may instead send her to the Supreme Court. This is one writer’s suspicion, anyway.

The issue? “DEMOCRAT strategists are said to be mightily alarmed by recent polls showing that Kamala Harris is the most unpopular US Vice-President six months into an administration since the 1970s, according to YouGov….
