This week’s major developments include a number of secondary explosions: government bureaucrats who censored free speech on internet platforms using NGOs as covers will be facing court action; the fallout from the boomeranging Epstein disclosures keep damaging the Democrats and their foreign allies; the media’s promotion of the moronic Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez only served to highlight that she’s is ill-informed and too lazy to prepare for interviews; and DOGE and Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent are making it very hard to keep hiding Democratic corruption.

AOC is identified as a moron, which may be giving the former barmaid too much credit. Unfortunately, on the political left, we never see any intellectual rigor. FTA: David Marcus concludes: “The scary thing about today’s progressives is that, unlike in the past, it has no intellectual wing, because its intellectuals study gender and anti colonialism instead of political science or economics. It’s literally just give poor people wealthier people’s money.” That's true.

"How Dumb Must the Press Be to Promote AOC?" Well, they are all part of the same club and they all know the secret handshake. The press, for the most part, are as dumb as she is. They are being knocked off for the same reasons she is under attack, they are dogmatic propagandists with not the wit to make a convincing effort of it. 300 of them were just sloughed off the WaaPoo which indicates they weren't worth hanging onto. RIFs target the marginal performers. The reality that a big block was in the "climate" clic says that "Climate" was a marginal performer as well and not worth the effort. THAT is big news. You might also note that while AOC is covered by media, her and her Squad are no longer treated as royalty ascendant. Media covers them because they have to write about something and the Leftist pickings are getting very thin. The problem is, every time that media decides to turn their "positive" spotlight on a Leftist, that person shortly is exposed as another fool/crook and they flameout. It doesn't bode well for a Leftist to be brought front and center because most of them are useless idiots, which, given focus, becomes obvious. The object lesson is Kamalalala and Tim the Knucklehead. The media keeps thrashing around looking for a competent Leftist like Diogenes trying to find an honest man; which was ultimately a futile effort. Everytime the media tries and fails, it discredits both the exposed idiot and the media itself. The obvious outcome speaks for itself.

Inviting Marco Rubio and AOC to discuss foreign policy at the same forum did not have the outcome they were hoping for. AOC was outmatched and obviously way over her head. Her biggest contribution was to showcase the complete lack of knowledge or understanding she has of the world. The idea that this halfwit thinks she should be President should alarm the rest of the world. The contrast was striking.

Wow, now that the HHS database is on the net, with a 30% bounty on detected fraud, any smart teenager can become rich by just mining the data and pointing out some of the $1,000,000,000,000 fraud. So, the BOUNTY available is $300,000.000,000....or $300 billion dollars. Said another way, 1,000 teenaged computer geeks could each earn $300 million if they do a bit of work. Even if it gets spread very thinly over 100,000 bounty collectors...they'd average getting $3 million each. Heck of a summer project for smart computer folks.

Team Trump and other Republicans decided to use Valentine's Day as an excuse to have a lighthearted time of things on social media, with simple parodies of classic holiday greeting cards to complex videos with policy messaging included within their love letter-esque form. We'll start with the least engaging posts first, as well-meaning and good-natured in spirit as they might be. Republicans on the House Oversight Committee reminded everyone with their missive for the holiday that former President Joe Biden (or someone at the White House acting on his behalf) used that autopen a little too often:

Former Secretary of State and twice-filed presidential candidate headlined a panel at the Munich Security Conference Saturday called “Girls Just Want to Have Fundamental Rights: Fighting the Global Pushback.” After railing against supposed “anti-gender” and "anti-rights” movements that threaten females, Clinton turned the microphone over to her second guest — the first "female" one — openly transgender lawmaker Rep. Sarah McBride (DE-at-large). Clinton said McBride is someone who tried "to explain and truly bring people together around issues of gender.” “She’s a gender rights champion,” the one-time First Lady proclaimed. McBride wasted no time in blasting the United States for its supposed war on transgenders:

"What are you doing? You should probably go do your job where your job lives." These are only some of the actual words a boorish, self-entitled woke woman told a deputy sheriff while interrogating him about why he was sitting in his car outside of a school in Thurston County, Wash. It was an exchange she recorded and consciously put on social media to show the world her "bravery" in speaking truth to power. And it completely backfired on her.

I have a hard time resisting Monty Python references these days, which is why I used one of the more famous lines from Monty Python and the Holy Grail as my headline, despite the fact that it only sorta fits my essay. Monty Python caught the absurdity of modern leftist ideology well before most people did, with its famous scenes like this one: (X) Not to mention "Loretta," which predicted the alphabet movement long before it burst out into the mainstream, and again linked it to the Anarcho-Marxist line of thinking.

"A million here, a million there, and pretty soon you’re talking real money," Sen.

Climate alarmist Michael Mann was for quite a few years the go-to “climate scientist” in the left-wing press. But the Associated Press’s sub silentio deletion of Mann from its story on the Trump administration’s revocation of the Obama administration’s CO2 endangerment finding suggests that Mann may have lost that status. The Associated Press is, of course, on the Democratic Party’s team on this issue. They are wrong, but that isn’t the point here. The AP’s story is titled “Trump set to gut U.S. climate change policy and environmental regulations: White House official.” It begins: The Trump administration is expected this week to revoke a scientific finding that long has been

You had to figure that Disney's live(ish)-action Snow White reboot would lose money, but even my eyes watered when I read this morning that the oft-derided musical lost about $170 million. But get this, had Disney not produced the movie in the U.K. — and received a reported $65 million (!!!) in tax credits — then Snow White would have lost the Mouse House a jaw-dropping $235 million... ...and entered the Hollywood Hall of Shame as one of the 10 biggest money-losing movie of all time, somewhere between Disney's 2012 stinker, John Carter, and Peter Berg's Battleship from the same year.

A horrible tragedy occurred yesterday in Canada when a killer, later identified as a “trans identifying woman,” shot nine people to death and injured 27 others, before turning the gun on himself. The Canadian establishment has been desperate to hide the truth about the shooter, but this was not a secret the establishment could sit on. The shooting took place at the Tumbler Ridge Secondary School in tiny Tumbler Ridge, a remote rural community in British Columbia. The killer began by murdering two people at a home, then headed for the secondary school (grades 7-12), where he opened fire. Six people died on school grounds, and one died en route

Today must be my day for trashing Pravda.

Noonan writes for The Wall Street Journal, so I trashed it. The Washington Post is the "gold standard" for political coverage, and I trashed them. So next, I need to trash the New York Times to complete a trifecta. Jamelle Bouie gives me that opportunity, as it happens. He is a columnist for the Times and has been called
Climate Change: What Can’t It Do? 10 replies

Global warming morphed into climate change so that liberals could complain about any inconvenient weather and blame it on free enterprise. Thus, we have the absurd situation where liberals claim that “climate change” causes both excessive heat and excessive cold, whichever happens to be occurring at the moment. This makes no sense. Saying that climate change causes warmer (or colder) weather is circular. It is like saying that my weight change caused me to get heavier. Blaming both heat and cold on climate change is like saying that my weight change caused me to get both heavier and lighter, at different times. In any event, it isn’t true. Both extreme heat

While Boasberg instructed the Trump administration to “pay for airfare and provide documents to facilitate travel” for those who were deported, he explained that the migrants would “be taken into custody upon arrival.” “It is up to the Government to remedy the wrong that it perpetrated here and to provide a means for doing so,” Boasberg said. “Were it otherwise,

It happened again. Another Democratic politician posed for a photo while attempting to cook meat on a grill. This time it was Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D., Va.) who tried to look normal by grilling a substance some claim was intended to represent "beef." The governor posted a photo of herself on X along with the caption "Order up!" and a steak emoji. Many remarked upon the hideous appearance of the alleged meat, as well as the deranged grin on Spanberger's face—the manic visage of an overmedicated wine mom about to mow down a rival's goldendoodle with her luxury SUV. It was a disastrous grill-related performance from the Democrats, but

They’re all useful idiots.

And the NFL commissioner may have a point. The typical NFL fan — who skews right of center politically, a male and often a Trump voter — appears to be a glutton for left-wing punishment. In fact, the Bad Bunny fiasco appears to be symptomatic of the NFL’s broader, cynical business wager: It believes all those working-class white dudes who voted for Trump — those useful idiots —

The city of Chicago exists on another plane of the universe than the rest of us. It's a place where up is down, black is white, and the basic laws of physics are held in abeyance so that when adding one plus one, any number that's convenient (and politically viable) can be the answer. In Chicago's budget, the "new physics" includes the caveat that nothing is real unless we (the aldermen and the city's hapless Mayor Brandon Johnson) say it is. And even then, nothing is permanent in this alternate plane of the universe. An equation that's "true" today may not be so "true" tomorrow. Do you think I'm being facetious?

The U.S. government is dismantling the legal foundation of numerous climate protection measures from the era of President Barack Obama. The economy is being freed from the shackles of CO2 fixation. For European businesses, this will soon translate into noticeably higher competitive pressure. February 12, 2026, marks the end of a political era in the United States. On Thursday, President Donald Trump, together with EPA administrator Lee Zeldin, repealed the so-called Endangerment Finding. This is one of the largest deregulation measures in recent U.S. history. Legally, the move primarily deregulates the EPA framework. It is not an executive order or a law passed by Congress.
