This was SO great I went over to Treehugger and immediately posted it up on the most recent pickup truck bashing post by Lloyd Alter:

Data Point -“DC returns to work — and Online Porn, up 1,600%”
YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT, UH, WORK: DC returns to work — and online porn, up 1,600%. “Online porn viewing in Washington, dormant since most offices closed in March, has started to spike as more workers have returned to their cubicles in the federal city.
Have You had it With “Medical Experts” Thinking They Can RULE the Us?
When I saw this title “Medical experts urge political leaders to shut the country down and start over on COVID-19 response“, I immediately agreed with the subtitle: Bad idea
So, Which REPUBLICAN Led City is Having the Same BLM/Antifa Riots as the Democrats?
I do try to watch Outnumbered on Fox. Far from being the Left’s pejorative claims that they are nothing but “blonde bimbos,” the ladies on Outnumbered are far more informed and reasoned than those of, say, The View.
Notable Quote – more “wise” men than this high school student need “wising up”
There are many newly “upraised” Bernie-Bro Socialists in positions of power that believe they can easily manage and control entire economies without the use of Totalitarianism.
Palate Cleanser: Teen Gets first Paycheck and Discovers “Taxes!”(Check Out his Reaction)
I really didn’t have all that much in taxes taken out on my first job – older than dirt, now. Still, I was a bit miffed that someone ELSE was getting a spiff off MY labor. MY LABOR.
Blogline of the Day – Put an Academic on point on “Diversity”
As Thomas Sowell once remarked, “The next time some academics tell you how important diversity is, ask how many Republicans there are in their sociology department.”
Uh-Oh: If True, This Will Make our Current Economy Look Rather Rosy
And so it finally begins? Emphasis mine, reformatted: ‘U.S. Gets a Debt Warning From Fitch as Stimulus Battle Rages.’ (Bloomberg) One of the world’s major credit-rating companies fired a warning shot regarding the U.S.’s worsening public finances on Friday…
NBA, MLB Ratings Crash After Protest-Filled Debuts
People want to watch sports and not be preached at for the length of an entire game (or in the case of NASCAR, for 300, 400 miles). With the NFL sending signals that they are going to also be Social Justice Preachers, I’m betting that will add to the decreased revenues as well.
Minneapolis Police to residents: Be prepared to get robbed and just give them your stuff
Even in politics, the Laws of Motion reigns: Third Law: When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body Except in politics, that “opposite in direction” can end up being FAR larger if you define politics … Read more
Announcement – Steve Mac Donald
No, nothing is wrong with Steve. At least to my knowledge, that is. No second heart attack, no accident, and no illnesses other being a Freedom and Liberty obsessed blogger (which, at times, give our opponents big doses of heartburn – heh!).
Blogline of the Day – Teachers: what unions are saying won’t match up with their results.
Teachers Refusing To Go Back In The Fall Launch ‘Every Child Left Behind’ Movement. OK, it’s satire (it IS the Babylon Bee, after all). However, like all satire, there are nuggets of truth buried in there. Problem is, the teacher’s unions have decided to bury them on the surface, which is to say, they’re no … Read more
Is Obama’s Federalization of suburban zoning gone? (Maybe?) Unless Biden brings it back.
HUD’s Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing – AFFH. Sounds innocuous, doesn’t it? In this time of Black Lives Matter, it sounds like “civil rightism,” doesn’t it? Er, nopers.
Wokeness: Speaking of what is now called the Washington Football Team…
Yeah, Wokesters. Right now they are the shock troops of the Collective. You have your thoughts and beliefs. They have theirs.
Palate Cleanser – Star Spangled Banner by Gunfire
Yeah, yeah – late again. Almost by a month. And all my posts today are rather “lightweight”; it happens sometimes. Just enjoy it, eh?
Notable Quote – David McCullough
With the radical Left trying to destroy history in various ways, this series of questions and answers from 2012 is more timely than ever.
Of course, JHo (Jennifer Horn) Only has the Smarts to be “Gifted” with Table Scraps
At Instapundit, BILLIONAIRES FOR BIDEN: Six More Billionaires Donate To The Anti-Trump Lincoln Project. This from an Instapundit comment:
“What Questions Should we Put to Politicians Itching to Intervene into the Economy?”
“I am a Libertarian because I learned economics.” I am a Conservatarian because of a line that Prof. Don Boudreaux mentions below that I first read, in a different form, in Robert Heinlein’s “The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.”
Showing the hypocrisy of the Left in two tweets. Who said they believed that Black Lives Matter?
Only those black lives that believe like they do. (H/T: Instapundit)
Notable Quote – The Socialist Temptation
Socialism is tempting, seductive, alluring. It comes in many forms and speaks in many different ways. It appeals to people who value fairness, who value freedom, and who value security. It comes in many varieties, sometimes clothing itself in the dress of nationalism, sometimes in the garb of environmentalism. Yet there is one single, unifying feature … Read more
