Border Dems Warn Biden Border Policies Will Be ‘Catastrophic for Our Party, for Our Country'
[National Review] Representative Vicente Gonzalez (D., Texas) on Monday warned that President Biden’s immigration policies will be "catastrophic" for the country and the Democratic Party.

In an appearance on CNN, Gonzalez expressed growing concern over migrants who have crossed the border ahead of even those who have waited in Mexico while their asylum claims have been processed, in line with the Trump-era Migrant Protection Protocol, or "Remain in Mexico" policy.

He noted that while thousands have waited two years south of the border for their chance to enter the country, that migrants who made it across the Rio Grande Valley recently were processed and released.

"If that is the message that we send to Central America and around the world, I can assure you it won’t be long before we have tens of thousands of people showing up to our border and it will be catastrophic for our party, for our country, for my region, for my district," he said.

Trump knows he won the election
[American Thinker] During his speech at CPAC on Sunday afternoon, Donald Trump made no bones about the fact that he won the 2020 election. The reason he's not in the White House is because of a system that was reconfigured for fraud and a cowardly Supreme Court. He also warned Americans worried about future elections that HR1, a bill the Congressional Democrats are pushing, will permanently ensconce election fraud.

In his first public speech since he left the White House, Trump made it perfectly clear that he knows he was cheated out of his election victory. During the course of laying out the Trumpism principles that should be at the center of the Republican Party, Trump said that one of the party's primary goals should be to ensure "honest elections that can give everyone confidence in the future of his country." Currently, no one has confidence. As matters stand, the process is completely corrupt:

#2  Even worse than the election night farce was the media silence about and attempts to suppress all mention of the obvious corruption and sleaze of T's scumbag opponent.

We've never seen this degree of coordinated lying from our media. It's Pravda-worthy.

This is even more dangerous than the Dominion BS: even if you were to restore fair elections, the oligarchs and their media shills would still rig the outcomes for their pet candidates against patriotic populists.

#3  Had a chance to watch the full CPAC. I thought it was his best talk.

President Trump unrestrained and mad could be really interesting.

They could still try to rig, and maybe succeed, but they have a straight up credibility problem right now: no pressers, no SOTU, news rallies for a Joe speech and he bubblegums it - compare Joe's list of credits in Texas to Trump's list of credits during his CPAC. Joe sounded like he went on a 5 hour bender and was randomly woken up at 4 in the morning and asked, "name the 5 mother sauces and their ingredients." If he had said Shirley Temple Lee, would it have been that much worse?

Weapons Collecting and Wildlife Harvesting Increases Brain Size
[MAIL] ’Hunting small animals, that are constantly threatened by predators and therefore very quick to take flight, requires a physiology adapted to the chase as well as more sophisticated hunting tools.’

’Cognitive activity also rises as fast tracking requires fast decision-making, based on phenomenal acquaintance with the animals' behavior—information that needs to be stored in a larger memory.’

When animal sizes began to decrease, humans also began making other weapons like the bow and arrow, along with domesticating dogs to help hunt prey.

By the end of the Stone Age animals became even smaller. This forced humans to use more energy in hunting than they were able to get back from the meal.

’Indeed, this is when the Agricultural Revolution occurred, involving the domestication of both animals and plants,’ Ben-Dor explained.

’As humans moved into permanent settlements and became farmers, their brain size decreased to its current volume of 1300-1400cc.’

’This happened because, with domesticated plants and animals that don't take flight, there was no more need for the allocation of outstanding cognitive abilities to the task of hunting.’

Professor Ran Barkai from the Jacob M. Alkow Department of Archaeology at Tel Aviv University, said that the human brain has grown threefold, while the chimpanzee’s brain has remained a similar size for seven million years.

The Evolutionary Advantages of Playing Victim
h/t HotAir
[Quillette] - Victimhood is defined in negative terms: "the condition of having been hurt, damaged, or made to suffer." Yet humans have evolved to empathize with the suffering of others, and to provide assistance so as to eliminate or compensate for that suffering. Consequently, signaling suffering to others can be an effective strategy for attaining resources. Victims may receive attention, sympathy, and social status, as well as financial support and other benefits. And being a victim can generate certain kinds of power: It can justify the seeking of retribution, provide a sense of legitimacy or psychological standing to speak on certain issues, and may even confer moral impunity by minimizing blame for victims’ own wrongdoings.

Presumably, most victims would eagerly forego such benefits if they were able to free themselves of their plight. But when victimhood yields benefits, it incentivizes people to signal their victimhood to others or to exaggerate or even fake victimhood entirely. This is especially true in contexts that involve alleged psychic harms, and where appeals are made to third-parties, with the claimed damage often being invisible, unverifiable, and based exclusively on self-reports. Such circumstances allow unscrupulous people to take advantage of the kindness and sympathy of others by co-opting victim status for personal gain. And so, people do.

Newly published research indicates that people who more frequently signal their victimhood (whether real, exaggerated, or false) are more likely to lie and cheat for material gain and denigrate others as a means to get ahead. Victimhood signaling is associated with numerous morally undesirable personality traits, such as narcissism, Machiavellianism (willingness to manipulate and exploit others for self-benefit), a sense of entitlement, and lower honesty and humility.
IMO, we live in society wherein lack of shame is the primary criteria for success.

#8  Have also notice a underlying aggressive demeanor being applied to whatever. I call this "unconscious (or barely concealed) malevolence". This became an item for me when I learned the last words most dog bit victims hear is "He won't bite you" - coming from the dog's owner(s). Then the bite happens. One of my best friends was a former city utility worker / mete reader / etc. He was bitten about 7 times during his long career, and heard that over and over again from the owners / enablers.

-PC Follies
Woke Capital Isn't a Game - They Really Do Hate You
[The American Mind] This summer corporate America cheered on BLM and Antifa as they burned our cities. Now, Twitter and Facebook openly censor information, while Nasdaq asks the government to sanction their stringent new diversity mandates. These news items hammer out a familiar beat, offering a clear glimpse into our future. It is long past time to get smart on what this phenomenon truly represents.

The phrase "woke capitalism" often refers to the way multinational corporations ensure their advertisements reflect the latest woke pieties. It should be defined more broadly as the institutionalization of Left social doctrine by America’s top corporations—and the purge of any American who refuses to submit.

We all know Twitter suspends conservative voices at will, and that Google blocks conservative sites. Other tech companies like PayPal, Patreon, and Facebook censor anyone they deem unacceptable. But it’s a mistake to focus solely on deplatforming. Woke capitalism goes much further.

Behind closed doors, corporations hold seminars in which Ivy League professors, or other TED Talk types, explain that capitalism is racist and needs to be corrected with massive redistributions. More visibly, Goldman Sachs refuses to work on IPOs if the company is run by straight white males, Microsoft won’t hire law firms that fail to meet diversity requirements, and Credit Suisse created an equity index to track policies.

Hollywood Liberals Really Hate Everything
[Townhall] I just put myself through something I don’t recommend to anyone: I watched the Golden Globes. I don’t recommend it, especially if you’re prone to eye rolling or vomiting which have been known to be exacerbated by prolonged exposure to self-righteous Hollywood leftists, but I am a trained professional so, with Visine and a bucket at the ready, I was able to survive it to tell my tale. And the only takeaway from the night is the fact that liberals are awful people who hate themselves, each other, and the country.

Right from the start it was clear this was going to be awful. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler hosted together, because neither seems capable of doing anything on their own. You’d think having two hosts, both of whom are billed as the funniest women in the business, would make for some comedy. If you thought that, you would be wrong.

They aren’t good, either as hosts or performers. As performers, they make the cast of the Twilight movies seem like they have range (seriously, watch anything they’ve done and they both play the same characters every single time). As hosts, they simply aren’t funny. The entertainment press insists they are, and they sometimes were on Saturday Night Live, but they’ve gone their whole careers milking that time and their genders. If they weren’t outspoken liberals and women, they’d be holding reunions with Melanie Hutsell, Victoria Jackson, and all the other forgettable people who stunk up that show over the years.

French with English subtitles. A scathing look at how the courtiers around Versailles lived and 'worked'.

After O'Donoghue ("Mr. Mike") left, the show devolved into virtue-signaling Woke culture bullshit.

The standard formula for every SNL skit for the last 40 years has been to take a rube or other UnWoke Deplorable, add a few moronic phrases designed to be repeated as nauseam by dumb people trying to sound hip (like "Buh-Bye"), insert a parody of a pop song, rinse-repeat.

#8  Art suffers when woke credentials and political correctness are deemed more important than talent. Ayn Rand talked about this in Atlas Shrugged. Maybe she saw it for herself in the Soviet Union before she emigrated here. The songs on the radio are dull. Nobody seems to know how to write melodies or harmonies anymore. Even country music sounds like watered down pop. I get Sirius and I go through the channels and I wonder why I'm paying for this. I can't listen to Frank Sinatra all day long. I don't believe it's just because I'm old. I know good music when I hear it and I don't hear it anymore. Some years ago I sat through the Oscars when Lady Gaga sang a song that had been made famous by Julie Andrews. Gaga's voice was thin and watery compared to Julie Andrews. We have much better singers in my church choir. Gaga should have been embarrassed. I guess all that money makes up for it but I can't understand why anybody would buy it.

I read once that the invent of MP3s changed music in strange ways. The compression format cut off the high and low ends of a song leaving them a bit flatter than intended. Eventually that became the expectation in listeners when they heard those songs.

Incoming NYC Schools Chancellor Backs Claim That America Was ‘Built On Lies'
[Free Beacon] The incoming chancellor of New York City public schools has a history of making controversial statements and recently promoted a tweet that implies America was "built on lies."

Mayor Bill de Blasio (D.) tapped Bronx superintendent Meisha Ross Porter to take the helm of the nation's largest school district Friday following the abrupt resignation of Chancellor Richard Carranza. Like Carranza, Porter is a controversial figure whose "disrupt and dismantle" approach to race and public education has ruffled quite a few feathers.

Porter encouraged New York University dean of equity David E. Kirkland to "speak the truth" on Twitter in September after Kirkland issued a fiery endorsement of critical race theory, the idea that American government and economic systems are inherently racist.

"Critical Race Theory is the audacity to tell the truth in places built on lies," Kirkland tweeted. "This truth will make us free, though there are some who don't want us free and are willing to sever a nation to ensure we stay chained."
