Australian officials are pushing back against the totalitarian grip of Big Tech. {Go Deep} As a result of investigations into Google and Facebook the Australian government is set to establish fines against tech companies for anti-trust violations.  However, some officials are now discussing taking actions that are beyond civil lawsuits, and are now advocating for arrest of company officers for unlawful conduct. {Go Deep}

The battle lines are being drawn, and in response to the Australian government position on anti-trust Facebook (feeling they are elite and above the law) has now decided to block all news articles from the entire country from their social media platform.

FACEBOOK ANNOUNCEMENT – […] this means people and news organisations in Australia are now restricted from posting news links and sharing or viewing Australian and international news content on Facebook. Globally, posting and sharing news links from Australian publishers is also restricted. To do this, we are using a combination of technologies to restrict news content and we will have processes to review any content that was inadvertently removed.  (read more)

‘Heels-up’ Harris made the ridiculous claim that the Trump administration did nothing to set up the JoeBama administration with a COVID vaccine plan.  During an introduction segment for Larry Kudlow’s new Fox Business show, the former National Economic Council Chairman took exception during a hot-mic moment.  The generally affable Kudlow can be heard to say: “bulls**t” while off camera.

If you closely follow the way leftists engineer narratives, specifically when they choose to push a particularly innocuous aspect, you can usually spot an ulterior motive.

In this example several media outlets are really pushing a story about Joe Biden playing the Mario Kart video game with his granddaughter.

It’s just weird…

NEWSWEEK – How did Joe Biden relax during his first Presidents Day weekend as president? By playing MarioKart with his family.

During his weekend retreat at Camp David, Biden and his granddaughter Naomi played the racing video game, and he won. Naomi shared a video to Instagram that showed Biden competing against her on the Arcade GP DX machines, complete with chairs and steering wheels.

Biden sat on the right as Luigi, and Naomi is Princess Peach on the left, GameRant noted. Despite not being at the same gaming level as his granddaughter, the commander-in-chief came out victorious.(READ MORE)

However, if one accepts there’s always a reason for this kind of stuff deep in the details, you might wonder if this isn’t part of an *anti-dementia* effort of narrative building from the WH press office.  Sound crazy?  Actually there’s a reason for that question…

President Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial continues for a fourth day beginning at noon EST.  House Democrats have concluded presenting their political evidence against Trump; his defense team now takes over, making the case for why he should be acquitted of the ridiculous charge of inciting insurrection in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

In the middle of last year every media outlet was pushing an extremist narrative blaming the Buffalo police for injuries sustained by Martin Gugino, a 75-year-old professional agitator against police. [GO DEEP HERE]  Ridiculously the two police officers were arrested and charged by a politically correct district attorney.  It was all nonsense.

(CNN)A grand jury chose not to indict two Buffalo, New York, police officers who pushed a 75-year-old protester to the ground last June, Erie County District Attorney John Flynn announced Thursday.

Aaron Torgalski and Robert McCabe each faced a felony second-degree assault charge in Martin Gugino’s fall, which fractured his skull and left him unable to walk at the time, according to an attorney for Gugino. They had pleaded not guilty.

The vast majority of the Florida economy is essentially open and not impacted by the COVID-19 virus and state mitigation efforts.  Factually visitors to Florida are stunned at the seemingly little impact the COVID scamdemic is having on the state.  Everyone is going about their business as normal enjoying freedom, and there is no undue chaos or concern.

The common sense within Florida, the lack of actual economic damage and the absence of panic amid the citizenry, is adverse to the interests of those who have weaponized the fear of COVID to attain power and control over compliant citizens.  Governor Ron DeSantis is considered a rebellious troublemaker who must be dealt with by JoeBama’s Federal agencies and authorities.

Today the Miami Herald is reporting that Joe Biden officials are contemplating using federal authority to restrict travel in to and out of Florida as a way to punish the sunshine state for their refusal to align with the fear-mongering compliance authority:

MIAMI – The Biden administration is considering whether to impose domestic travel restrictions, including on Florida, fearful that coronavirus mutations are threatening to reverse hard-fought progress on the pandemic.

[…] “we’re having conversations about anything that would help mitigate spread,” the official said, referring to discussions about new travel restrictions that could target the spread of the U.K. mutation in Florida.

In this episode of American Thought Leaders, Jan Jekielek sat down with classicist and historian Victor Davis Hanson to discuss the rise of critical social justice and woke ideology, growing limits on freedom of speech, and his take on the second impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump.

“It’s like a public-shaming like the Communist Party used to make people wear dunce caps,” Hanson says.

Highlighting the insufferable alignment of the two wings of the UniParty bird, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell allowed, permitted, and grinned as six GOP senators concurred with leftist democrats that impeachment of a former President is constitutional… Pro Tip: it ain’t.

Republican Senators: Bill Cassidy (LA), Lisa Murkowski (AK), Mitt Romney (UT), Susan Collings (ME), Ben Sasse (NE) and Pat Toomey (PA) aligned with the usurpation:

To see evidence of the constitutional quagmire one only has to look at Chief Justice John Roberts’ refusal to participate in the impeachment trial.  Despite his own ideological progressiveness, even Roberts couldn’t bring himself to compromise the baseline of the Judicial Branch role in determining constitutional issues around impeachment.

The entire system in DC is operating outside the constitutional framework… FUBAR.

Transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg (aka Alfred E Newman), made a rather stunning statement during an Axios interview today.

When discussing domestic travel and transportation as it related to COVID-19, the transportation secretary said: “there is an active conversation within the CDC now” about requiring COVID tests prior to air travel inside the United States.

This ridiculous position was unfortunately one of the issues CTH predicted might happen.

COVID is not a virus inasmuch as it is an opportunity to achieve social-change goals advocated by the far-left.  Remember, one key element within the Green New Deal was to ban airplanes altogether.

The kindergarten class of tree-shouting, algae-cake-eating, everything must be sustainable and stupid, ie. leftist moonbats, are the ones offering actual policy suggestions.
