When The Justice System Falls Apart, So Does The Republic

 

If we no longer uphold equal justice under the law, we still have a country, but not the one we thought we had.

The Purpose Of The Trump Indictments Is To Demonstrate The Left's Power

 

Once again, this isn't hypocrisy, it's hierarchy.  And it amounts to a threat: Imagine what we can do to you.

A Guide to How the Liberal Media Moved the Goalposts on Hunter Biden's Scandals

 

[...] The pattern has three steps: First, they call the story they don't like fake news or disinformation.  Next, they admit it's happening, but they argue it's no big deal.  Finally, they pivot to their favorite whataboutism: But what about Trump.  [...]

We Won't Be Masked Again 

 

A summer surge of COVID-19 has some wondering aloud if we should return to mask mandates.  For now, the official line, despite the media effort to rekindle coronavirus hysteria, is that it's unlikely.  But we heard that before, in 2020, right before public health officials dropped their mask tyranny on us.  If they do it again, we have an obligation to say no.  [...]

I know Canada has no real right to free speech, and of course they are led by the illegitimate offspring Fidel Castro, but this definitely shows Canada must silence anyone that does not talk in an approved "progressive" manner (notice how they frame their re-education/self-criticism session as "training in professionalism).  Remember how Trudeau and the Canadian government treated the truckers?  No wonder his wife left him.

 

Christine Van Geyn: Jordan Peterson losing free expression case puts us all at risk

 

A brief recap of this sad legal saga: The College of Psychologists of Ontario ordered Dr. Peterson to take mandatory training in professionalism in public statements. The training is for an indeterminate amount of time and is at Dr. Peterson’s own expense. This order came following controversial public statements Dr. Peterson had made on social media that did not relate to the practice of psychology. The complaints were made by members of the public, not by any individuals who Dr. Peterson had ever treated as a patient and not by people who Dr. Peterson was making comments about.

 

The Divisional Court described this case as a “clash” between a regulated clinical psychologists’ right to speak in a certain manner and the regulator’s power to require the member to moderate that speech in the name of professionalism and preventing “harm to the people they are directed at, and to the impacted and other communities more broadly.”

We know the Democrats/Left need playbooks, they are following 1984 to the letter.

Disinfo-nation: the new censorship is here to stay

 

[...] When we stop to think about it, the list of topics on which the government and mass media feel called to protect us from "disinformation" is very long.  Merely by printing some lists on which damnable forms of disinformation circulate I may be triggering some readers.  The only safe response is to avert your gaze and hum a Taylor Swift song.  [...]

This Political Prosecution Scheme Is Going To Backfire Hard

 

Yuck it up, you morons who think it's cool to try to frame political opponents because your mug shots are coming soon enough.  And maybe not just mugshots.  You've genuinely screwed yourselves.  You can't control what you have unleashed.  And you're celebrating.  You shouldn't.  [...]

Quite a few Leftist/Progressive Democrats are in fact celebrating.  Not really smart on their part, but then again, their level of intelligence is questionable.

If Democrats Criminalize Opposition And Cripple The Court, Democracy Is Dead

 

Democrats are seeking to land a one-two punch to cement their control of America today and for generations to come: Criminalize the political opposition and cripple the last authority to which the opposition might appeal in defense of its rights.  [...]
