[America Conservative] If conservatives can't even boycott Bezos, our defeat will be as inevitable as it is deserved.
At this very moment, all across the country, a hundred thousand tongues are wagging about the state of the conservative movement. I'm sorry to say, they wag in vain. There is no conservative movement in America. There never has been, and I doubt there ever will be.
Of course, there are folks who call themselves conservatives, and some even do a passable impression. But whether or not they’re really conservatives, they’re certainly not a movement. I’d say that movement is the thing we want most from conservatives, and the last thing we’re likely to get.
It’s funny, when you think about it. Our friends on the left are still in a tizzy about the Capitol Hill "insurrection." Meanwhile, here in New Hampshire, a man being charged in the riots is planning to run for Congress. "Despite my ongoing legal problems, I’m supposed to live my best life," Jason Riddle told NBC.
When asked why he broke into the Capitol, Mr. Riddle said, "I just had to see it." His home was raided by the FBI after he posted a photo of himself drinking a bottle of wine he stole from a (Republican) senator’s office. Not exactly Che Guevara, is he?
No, I’m afraid those who fear an imminent right-wing coup give us too much credit. Watching Fox News, posting Ben Shapiro quotes on Facebook, and casting the occasional ballot: that’s pretty much the extent of our activism.
And that, if you’re wondering, is why conservatives always lose. It’s why we’ll go on losing until the last Bible-thumping, MAGA-hatted redneck in Georgia dyes his hair blue, cuts off his penis, and starts calling himself Cheryl. We deserve to lose. And, when we do, we’ll have no one to blame but ourselves.
I couldn't possibly delete my Prime account, since my wife would disown me.
But I do better than that: I use Amazon's database to shop, then buy the item somewhere else, even the manufacturer.

I see the highlight problem was fixed while I was commenting.

Amazon, Walmart, all the 'big stores' are totally dependent upon open interstate commerce. If things go 'hot', that will be one of the major casualties in the event. So, why do they play with fire? /rhet question

You can get almost anything somewhere else besides Amazon. Just because Google shows Amazon first after you search for something doesn't mean you have to buy it from Amazon.
And it wasn't Parler that decided me against Amazon, it was the Washington Post coverage of the Covington Kids. Bezos is a bad guy and he deserves to lose business if that's how he's going to use his power.

[IndependentSentinel] One hopes that all people of good will despise the vicious racism of Pakistan-American psychiatrist Aruna Khilanani and BET employee Lamont Hill, not just the white ones. Editorial transcribes the key bits of the interview we saw here yesterday.
BLUF:
[American Thinker] As Forest Gump would say, "just like that," scientists are now curious over the lab leak hypothesis, after adamantly denying it for well over a year, and want to investigate further, according to a letter published by 18 scientists. As NBC reported,
And while public discussion of a potential lab leak has shifted significantly in recent months, as more people pay attention to a theory that was originally promulgated by former President Donald Trump and his followers, the scientific evidence has remained unchanged, according to interviews with five virologists who have experience in microbiology, infectious disease ecology and viral evolution.
Note "the scientific evidence has remained unchanged". So what did change? The President changed.

But, but, but "Befehl ist Befehl" (An order is an order). Please, do not follow the scientists, follow those who instructed and funded the scientists !

There is a lot of criminal activity going on here. First their hate for Trump blinded them to the proper safeguarding and processes to keep America safe. To start, the scientists, political class, media and legislators put a stop to any possible treatments using Zink. They argued the Zink was dangerous and there were no studies, other than small ones, to show it worked. Yet they pushed an even lessor tested vaccine on the population.
They went after anything Trump said as lies and countered him at every turn, not for the betterment of the people, but because of Pelosi's hate for the man.
Lastly, and we don't talk much about this, the virus in China is a product of American Biological testing. It was being researched in America when President Obama banned all biological testing. Thus it gets moved at Fauci's request to China to continue testing. And then we get the release. When you get to root cause, we see that the dems stopped it in America on some moral high ground line, but moved it to a place where it can get loose and kill millions.
I have to ask myself a simple question. Was this the worst case scenario? Of are there other weapons grade viruses out there in third worlds labs because of Obama's decision?

[JPost] - Forty years after Israel destroyed Iraq’s fledgling nuclear program, one of the pilots who took part in Operation Opera warned that an attack against Iran’s nuclear reactors "won’t be the same."
...But any operation to take out the Iranian nuclear program "won’t be the same; it can’t be the same," Brig.-Gen. (ret.) Relik Shafir told The Jerusalem Post. In Iran, "it’s all very different, especially how they built their program."
Unlike in Operation Opera, Iran’s nuclear sites are spread across the country, some deep underground or in mountains, and surrounded by sophisticated air-defense systems.
Shafir was one of eight IAF pilots selected for the mission, including one who would one day become the country’s first astronaut. It was Ilan Ramon’s first operational mission, but not Shafir’s, who was the second youngest of the pilots.
..."It’s a different world 40 years later, but the interests and motivations of humans remain the same. The Middle East and our conflict remains, even though at the time it was with Iraq, and now it’s with Iran."

A bit of possibly little known irony. While the reactor at Osirak lay in ruin, the administration buildings became one of Saddam's many BIO warfare research labs.

There weren't any of those, Besoeker. CBS/NBC/ABC/CNN told me so.

Of course that doesn't account for all the newer empty warheads, 2 and 3-part chemical storage containers with working transfer pumps connected, sealed containers with 'Bio-Hazard' labels in English and Russian (those disappeared after 'Special' units visited the sites), new mop suits and recently printed handling instructions in Arabic that our family Marine's unit (and other units) found in early 2003.
Much of the equipment was labelled in French and German, so there's that too.

The "cleanup on aisle three..." described above was perhaps the cause of the political exploitation that followed that "Bush lied, people died". Some people believe we were protecting friends and our own misdeeds in the coverup, and others believe that the folks behind the Green Door wanted to aid the progressive side of the swamp.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
