Do you need the government to manage you? Apparently Wrongthink™ is a serious problem, and conservatives need to be watched

We reported, last Friday, on Catherine Herridge’s report of the Biden Administration’s efforts to label those who disagreed with COVID-19 vaccine mandates as “Domestic Violent Extremists”:

The Biden Administration labeled Americans who opposed the COVID-19 vaccination and mask mandates as “Domestic Violent Extremists,” or DVEs, according to newly declassified intelligence records obtained by Public @shellenberger @galexybrane and Catherine Herridge Reports. The designation created an “articulable purpose” for FBI or other government agents to open an “assessment” of individuals, which is often the first step toward a formal investigation, said a former FBI agent.

The report, which the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, has declassified, claims that “anti government or anti authority violent extremists,” specifically militias, “characterize COVID-19 vaccination and mask mandates as evidence of government overreach.” A sweeping range of COVID narratives, the report states, “have resonated” with DVEs “motivated by QAnon.”

The FBI, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) coauthored the December 13, 2021 intelligence product whose title reads, “DVEs and Foreign Analogues May React Violently to COVID-19 Mitigation Mandates.”

The report cites criticism of mandates as “prominent narratives” related to violent extremism. These narratives “include the belief that COVID-19 vaccines are unsafe, especially for children, are part of a government or global conspiracy to deprive individuals of their civil liberties and livelihoods, or are designed to start a new social or political order.

We also pointed to earlier stories to surveil “Radical Traditionalist Catholics” as potentially “Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremists”. Yet, despite exposure of such, our good friends on the left have no sense of shame at all, and want to continue to regulate your beliefs. Todays left aren’t even trying to be subtle about it: they want to put legal controls on people with whom they disagree.

Tom Elliot tweeted a video of MSNBC hostess Jen Psaki Mecher, previously a high-level campaign staffer for Barack Hussein Obama, and then in both the Obama and Biden White House Communications Offices, interviewing former Director of the FBI James Comey;

MSNBC’s @jrpsaki: “(In the law enforcement sense), do you think there are laws that should be put in place that would help better manage [MAGA Republicans], that aren’t in place now?”

@Comey: “… (There are cultural impediments to doing this e: 15px;”>@Comey: “… (There are cultural impediments to doing this work.) Let’s say you work in the FBI. You know that one of the two political parties is, let me put it nicely, white supremacist-adjacent, at a minimum. And so why would you want to throw your career on that side of the line & be summoned to Capitol Hill to be asked, ‘Why are you pursuing these innocent groups?’”

And there’s more: the denizens of Bluesky, the Twitter — I refuse to call it 𝕏 — clone for liberals, waxed wroth that the Patriot Front held a rally outside the National WWI Museum and Memorial in Kansas City, marching downtown carrying flags and chanting. Lefties on Twitter did the same.

The story in The Kansas City Star noted that no arrests were made, no parade permit was required, and everything that was done in the march was apparently completely legal, but it also included denunciations by the local government officials. It was, as far as anyone can tell, peaceful and orderly, far moreso than the #BlackLivesMatter rioters following the deaths of such icons of civilization like the fentanyl-and-methamphetamine-addled, previously convicted violent felon George Floyd and young punk Michael Brown. The Patriot Front burned no buildings and assaulted no one, exercising their Freedom of Speech and of Peaceable Assembly in exactly the manner the Framers of the First Amendment would have approved.

The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Will Bunch naturally celebrated the marches in support of Mr Floyd, while the newspaper itself promoted the city’s homosexual and transgender “Pride March and Festival:”

While the Philly Pride 365 March and Festival officially take place Sunday, June 1, the entire weekend offers opportunities to celebrate LGBTQ joy, honor queer history, and connect with others through music, drag, food, and dance.

Philadelphia is among the most LGBTQ-friendly cities in the country, with one of the largest queer populations in any major metro area. It’s home to some of the nation’s oldest LGBTQ publications and ranks as one of the safest places for LGBTQ people to live and work, according to the Human Rights Campaign.

Remember: the Inky fired forced Executive Editor and Senior Vice President Stan Wischnowski to resign over his headline “Buildings Matter, Too” used — though later changed — in an article on the loss of historic architecture in the riots over the death of Mr Floyd in Minneapolis. I guess that’s not nearly as serious as the Patriot Front marching peaceably.

We don’t see people like Mrs Mecher or Mr Comey talking about a need to “better manage” the people rallying for something that is as controversial as the normalization of homosexuality and transgenderism, yet the left are simply aghast that the Patriot Front are allowed to march in support of their beliefs. From the results, wouldn’t it make more sense to “better manage” the Black Lives Matter marchers and activists, because they’re the ones who riot? But that’s not what the left would ever want.

Apparently I am a “Domestic Violent Extremist”, or so Joe Biden and his minions would have classified me

Did you know that I’m a “Domestic Violent Extremist”? I didn’t know I was, but that’s apparently how the Biden Administration would have classified me, if they knew who a small fry like me was. Continue reading

No matter how much you hate the credentialed media, you do not hate them enough!

You know, I get it: everyone wants to keep his job, no matter how royally he f(ornicated) up! As we have previously noted, the credentialed media have been trying their d(arnedest) to blame their almost total lack of coverage of thankfully former President Joe Biden’s declining physical and mental health not on their own failures to be actual journalists, but on Mr Biden’s inner circle and staff of paid flunkies to tell them the truth. How naïve do the reporters and editors have to be to think that people whose jobs and positions depended on Mr Biden remaining in office would tell other people that their boss was losing it?

Well, apparently the Editorial Board of The Washington Post want you to think that they were stunned by events!

If Biden was too frail for his job, voters should have been informed

The left lie through their scummy teeth

I have frequently said that if Donald Trump walked on water, the left would complain that he stepped on and injured some fish. If President Trump cured cancer, the left would combitch that he was putting doctors and nurses out of work.

The tweet screen captured to the left — I always screen capture tweets I’m going to use in articles, because this way they aren’t lost if someone deletes them, and they make great illustrations without having to worry about copyright violations — was just one of many which claimed that the evil, reich-wing President Trump was responsible for the deaths due to an overnight tornado strike in London, Kentucky, because he’s cutting some National Weather Service personnel. The disappointed Democrat and “I am further left, I am more progressive, than anyone in the state of Kentucky,” twice-defeated candidate Amy McGrath Henderson chimed in with her own attack, without bothering with the actual facts.

What my, sadly late, best friend used to call the Lexington Herald-Liberal, the staffers of which absotively, posilutely hate Mr Trump, was forced to admit the truth: Continue reading

Will Bunch: #TrumpDerangementSyndrome much?

Will Bunch is The Philadelphia Inquirer’s furthest left, and by that I mean far left, bat guano nuts #woke,[1]From Wikipedia: Woke (/ˈwoʊk/) as a political term of African-American origin refers to a perceived awareness of issues concerning social justice and racial justice. It is derived from … Continue reading falling for every bit of insane madness woke, #TrumpDerangementSyndrome woke, and he’s agitated again this morning.

So, what is piques his ire this fine Saturday morning? It seems that the President’s daughter, Ivanka Trump Kushner, visited the Philadelphia Eagles training center. Heaven forfend!

Woke (/ˈwk/) as a political term of African-American origin refers to a perceived awareness of issues concerning social justice and racial justice. It is derived from the African-American Vernacular English expression “stay woke“, whose grammatical aspect refers to a continuing awareness of these issues. By the late 2010s, woke had been adopted as a more generic slang term broadly associated with left-wing politics and cultural issues (with the terms woke culture and woke politics also being used). It has been the subject of memes and ironic usage. Its widespread use since 2014 is a result of the Black Lives Matter movement.

I shall confess to sometimes “ironic usage” of the term. To put it bluntly, I think that the ‘woke’ are just boneheadedly stupid.

Covering their own asses! The credentialed media are blaming everybody but themselves for their own failures

It has been a few days since journolists Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson published their book Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again, blaming everybody in Mr Biden’s administration for the elderly President’s decision to run for re-election despite his failing mental status.

No matter how much you hate the credentialed media, you do not hate them enough! Only a fool would believe that the credentialed media didn't know about President Biden's descent into dementia

Jake Tapper, the lead Washington anchor for CNN, and Senior White House correspondent for ABC News before that, is a very well connected man in Washington media circles. He knows everybody who’s anybody, and everybody who’s anybody in DC knows him. With a guesstimated net worth of $20 million, he gets invited to all of the great parties.

Perhaps that $20 mil just isn’t enough for him, because any he’s been taking heroic measures to try to save his journalistic reputation. Too bad that no one with any sense, any sense at all, would believe that a journolist — and you can see the reason I spell it that way — as well connected as Mr Tapper was wholly unaware that President Joe Biden was slowly losing his marbles.

And here he goes again, this time in the pages of The New Yorker:

How Joe Biden Handed the Presidency to Donald Trump

At a fateful event last summer, Barack Obama, George Clooney, and others were stunned by Biden’s weakness and confusion. Why did he and his advisers decide to conceal his condition from the public and campaign for reëlection?

by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson | Tuesday, May 13, 2025

President Joe Biden got out of bed the day after the 2024 election convinced that he had been wronged. The élites, the Democratic officials, the media, Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama—they shouldn’t have pushed him out of the race. If he had stayed in, he would have beaten Donald Trump. That’s what the polls suggested, he would say again and again. Continue reading

Bureaucrats gotta bureaucrat It looks like the Philadelphia School District administration don't want to admit the basis of their problems

We noted, last Friday, the waste case that Martin Luther King High School in foul, fetid, fuming, foggy, filthy Philadelphia has become. MLKHS at least has the ‘excuse,’ if it can be called that, of being a school in the depressed East Germantown neighborhood, with 100% of students coming from ‘economically disadvantaged’ families.

But what about a case like this?

One of Philly’s premier high schools is in turmoil, staff, parents, and students say

Enrollment issues, staff divisions and other problems are troubling Philadelphia’s storied High School for Creative and Performing Arts, those inside say.

When Will Bunch refers to a prelate as Archbishop Rush Limbaugh, you know that prelate must be a good one!

The Most Reverend Charles Chaput, OFMCap, was appointed to become the Archbishop of Philadelphia on July 19, 2011, in part due to his aggressive and responsible handing of priestly sex abuse cases. The Archdiocese had serious problems in that regard, under former Archbishops Anthony Cardinal Bevilacqua and, to a lesser extent, Justin Cardinal Rigali. One would have thought that such would have made The Philadelphia Inquirer’s far-left columnist Will Bunch happy, but no, Mr Bunch preferred to refer to him as Archbishop Rush Limbaugh.

Actually, being Archbishop Rush Limbaugh, someone dedicated to the letter of the law, would be a good thing!

And today? The distinguished columnist decides to tout an OpEd by Alfred G. Mueller II, an assistant dean of the William T. Daly School of General Studies and Graduate Education at Stockton University, and it seems that Dr Mueller doesn’t like Archbishop Emeritus Chaput very much. Continue reading
