Don’t hit the wrong people
While I understand the impulse to retaliate against Russia, let’s not grab a shotgun and start blasting away so wildly that we hit the wrong people.
For instance, New York City’s venerable restaurant, the Russian Tea Room, is suddenly empty and staffers are getting threats on social media. They had to launch a PR campaign to let people know that they’re not pro-Putin. In fact, the place has been around since 1927, when it was founded by Russian immigrants who were fleeing communism.
Instapundit has a round-up of more thoughtless, unfocused Russian boycotts, many collected by Noah Rothman at Commentary magazine.

They include a video game maker that’s removing Russian soccer and hockey teams from its games, American vodka companies changing their names because they sound Russian, an Italian university canceling a course on Dostoevsky, the International Feline Federation banning Russian cats from competitions, and Canadian restaurants changing the name of the national dish “poutine” because it sounds like “Putin.” The 1997 animated movie “Anastasia,” about a Russian princess, has also disappeared from Disney Plus, although Disney claims that’s just a contractual thing. However, “Peter and the Wolf” also seems to have disappeared.

Those are just dumb, but some of the backlash is harming innocent people, like the Canadian Junior Hockey League banning Russian and Belarusian children from an upcoming draft.
These stories remind me of the kind of kneejerk intolerance that led to Americans with German surnames being branded as “enemies of the people” during World War I, and the Democrats’ hero FDR putting Japanese-Americans into internment camps in World War II. There are many Russians who are risking jail to protest Putin’s brutal actions. It’s obvious who the villain is here, and it’s not everybody whose name ends in an “i.”
But since all these corporations, from Disney to Coca-Cola, are suddenly so gung-ho against aggressive genocidal regimes that threaten their peaceful neighbors, I assume that means they’re also finally going to stop groveling to China and speak up against its atrocities, right?
Right?...Anyone?...
Priorities
One thing you can say for this Administration: it has priorities. They’re the wrong ones, but they are priorities.

Media swarms Gov. Ron DeSantis over mask comments
Liberal media outlets went into their swarming bees mode after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis spoke to some college students and told them, “You do not have to wear those masks. I mean, please take them off. Honestly, it’s not doing anything, and we’ve gotta stop with this COVID theater. So if you want to wear it, fine, but this is ridiculous.”
DeSantis was accused of “bullying,” “scolding” and “yelling” at them, which the video shows wasn’t true. But he didn’t take the attacks lying down. DeSantis went on Tucker Carlson’s show and explained that it seemed to him someone had told those kids they had to wear masks, and he wanted to make it clear they didn’t. As for bullying them, he made it very clear who the real bullies are:
“Bullying is locking kids out of school, which they did. Bullying is forcing kids to wear masks for 8 hours a day, which they did for two years and are only stopping now because the polling has changed. Bullying is kicking people out of work because of vaccine mandates. We fought all of those policies in Florida. We lifted people up, and we liberated them from local school boards and governments that imposed them.”
And while we’re on the subject of masks, and things that have gotten us banned for the past two years just for talking about, it suddenly appears to be okay to discuss how masking has harmed children with speech and language disorders…
…And to write about a study by Britain’s University of Bristol that found the cloth masks many people wear allow 90% of particles to get through, making them effectively useless at stopping a virus.
Also, an analysis of the study the CDC cited to claim that consistent mask use reduces the risk of contracting COVID found that the study was worthless. Only a small percentage of people even answered the phone to respond, and the two groups it compared were completely different and incompatible.
Fortunately, the CDC ignored the study it cited itself and relaxed mask guidance anyway. Their mask study might have been flawed and worthless, but the polls were real and terrifying.
Enough already California
To all the California voters who went for Biden over Trump by a nearly 2-1 margin: You chose…poorly.
Now, could you please stop inflicting your poor choices on the rest of us?
By the way: those $5, $6 and on the way to $7-a-gallon gas prices aren’t just because of Russia. They were planned long before Putin launched his attack. Sky-high gas prices are how the left has always planned to force Americans to adopt “green” energy alternatives, even if they don’t actually exist yet. This is why they refuse to let us go back to producing our own oil and gas, even though they know it would lower prices. Don’t believe me? Here they are saying it themselves.
More on J6 Committee
Rick Moran at PJ Media has more on the House January 6th Committee's hopes to see former President Trump charged with criminal conspiracy for making false statements about the election that undermined the public’s trust.
If Presidents making false statements that divide Americans and undermine their trust in government is now a felony, someone might want to warn Joe Biden about that.
Correction
In an earlier post, I mistakenly included Coca-Cola among the corporate entities that have suddenly decided to take a stand against genocidal, oppressive regimes that threaten their neighbors. That was a typo: I meant to type Apple, which is okay with China but not Russia. Coke, however, has been noticeably silent about both. But at least there is one place that's beyond the pale to them: Georgia.

The Washington Swamp
If Washington DC was a gene pool, it would be a very shallow one because of the politically incestuous nature of the people who live there and make a great living off taxpayers like you and me. Calling them political parasites is an insult to real parasites like hookworms, pinworms, and tapeworms and those parasites do less damage and are far easier to get rid of.
You heard for 5 years about how Russia was supposed to have influenced Donald Trump, even though $35 million of a special counsel’s investigation concluded that he didn’t. Poor Adam Schiff spent years lying about having evidence of Russian collusion, but never produced a shred of it. Maybe the idea all along was to convince the gullible, gutless, and worthless partisan lapdogs in the media that there was collusion between Trump and the Russians, while hiding the real collusion that press is ignoring right under their stopped up, crusted over noses.
Today, I want to introduce you to a few people—some you’ve heard of and some you haven’t to show you it isn’t that hard to see the real problems in Washington.
Let’s start...here, with NANCY PELOSI…
who impeached President Trump…
...and hand-picked the Jan. 6 committee, including LIZ CHENEY.
LIZ CHENEY... is married to PHIILIP PERRY…
...who’s a partner at the law firm LATHAM & WATKINS LLP…
...whose Washington DC office represents the DNC…
...and the HILLARY CLINTON CAMPAIGN…
...and HILLARY FOR AMERICA…
...and MICHAEL SUSSMANN…
...and MARC ELIAS…who needs his own board… (PAUSE FOR LAUGH!)
...and their law firm, PERKINS COIE…
...which was hired by the HILLARY CLINTON CAMPAIGN…
–-and the DNC…
...to engage GLENN SIMPSON at FUSION GPS…
…to hire British ex-spy CHRISTOPHER STEELE…
...to put his name on a bogus “dossier”…from source IGOR DANCHENKO…
...(also under indictment)...
...which tells a fake “Russia” story involving ALFA BANK…
...which came from a “sensitive arrangement” between the NSA and RODNEY JOFFE…
...who in 2015 had on retainer as his attorney...MICHAEL SUSSMANN.
(Hey, folks, we just found that one out!)
DANCHENKO’S source was CHARLES DOLAN…
A longtime associate of HILLARY CLINTON…
And both worked at THE BROOKINGS INSTITUTION…
Under STROBE TALBOTT…
A loooooooongtime associate of…..HILLARY CLINTON.
The ALFA BANK hoax was pushed to the media by...HILLARY CLINTON…
...and JAKE SULLIVAN…
...who is now national security adviser for PRESIDENT BIDEN…
...and it was also pushed to JAMES COMEY’S FBI...
...and JOHN BRENNAN’S CIA…
...by MICHAEL SUSSMANN…
...(who is now under indictment)…
...and is represented by…...LATHAM & WATKINS…
...which defended the DNC in the lawsuit brought by falsely accused Trump supporter CARTER PAGE…
...with attorneys KATHRYN RUEMMLER and LISA MONACO…
...who prosecuted the Enron case with ANDREW WEISSMANN…
...who also needs his own board. But he ran Robert Mueller’s $35 million waste of money trying to trap Trump. (PAUSE FOR LAUGH!)
KATHRYN RUEMMLER…(who has also represented the CLINTON FOUNDATION…
...while at LATHAM & WATKINS, and in the ‘90s, as White House counsel, defended BILL CLINTON)...
...and her colleague LISA MONACO…
...worked closely with PRESIDENT OBAMA, along with SUSAN RICE…
...and, yes, we’d need another board for SUSAN RICE, too.
KATHRYN RUEMMLER…
...and LISA MONACO...
...worked on the Carter Page case with NICHOLAS McQUAID…
...who is a colleague of CHRISTOPHER CLARK…
…a defense attorney for HUNTER BIDEN…
...and, yes, we’d DEFINITELY need another board for him. A BIG board!! (PAUSE FOR LAUGH!) And maybe he could do a painting on it for us.
CHRISTOPHER CLARK...(HUNTER BIDEN’S attorney)...was at LATHAM & WATKINS…
...until he moved on Day 1 of BIDEN’S presidency to the JUSTICE DEPARTMENT…
...where he is now Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division.
(This is all true, folks. I am NOT making any of this up.)
KATHRYN RUEMMLER was known as “OBAMA’S fixer”...
...and LISA MONACO is now second-in-command at the JUSTICE DEPARTMENT…
...just behind ATTORNEY GENERAL MERRICK GARLAND…
...who was nominated to the Supreme Court by...PRESIDENT OBAMA...
...and now can shut down the special counsel if he sniffs around too close to...
...PRESIDENT OBAMA…
or any big client of LATHAM & WATKINS…
...like the DNC…
...the HILLARY CLINTON CAMPAIGN
...and...........HILLARY CLINTON.
And that’s only the tip of the iceberg! But the ice beneath the surface gives me the chills knowing just how corrupt our government has become. What’s worse than the Covid virus? The corruption that stinks up Washington. We’ve got to clean house and disinfect that filthy place.
