Friday's funnies seem to not be uplifting! Since California passed a law that human dead bodies can be composted tells me the Soylent Green cartoon is truly unnerving of what is coming. California has always been seen as the leader in societal change. Time to build a wall between California and the rest of the country!
Conclusion: Two Visions of Freedom This struggle over federal censorship reflects two competing visions of freedom in America. First, as the Louisiana court emphasizes, CISA Director Jen Easterly aptly summarizes the federal officials’ view: “She … stated, ‘We live in a world where people talk about alternative facts, post-truth, which I think is really, really dangerous if people get to pick their own facts.’” Ex. 1, at 77. She also stated, “[W]e’re in the business of protecting critical infrastructure, and the most critical is our ‘cognitive infrastructure.’” Id. Thus, Easterly’s view—reflected in federal censorship activity—is that the American “people” cannot be trusted “to pick their own facts,” and that the government should pick our facts for us. Id. She believes that the federal government—armed with the weapons, authority, and the domestic surveillance capacity of the national-security state—should police our “cognitive infrastructure.” Id. As the Louisiana court found, “cognitive infrastructure” means that “the CISA Defendants believe they had a mandate to control the process of acquiring knowledge.” Id. at 110.
The U.S. Supreme Court’s watershed First Amendment opinions express a radically different view of freedom. “If there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation, it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion.” W. Virginia State Bd. of Educ. v. Barnette, 319 U.S. 624, 642 (1943). “Our constitutional tradition stands against the idea that we need Oceania’s Ministry of Truth.” United States v. Alvarez, 567 U.S. 709, 723 (2012) (plurality op.). The Louisiana case is one part of a titanic struggle between these two visions of freedom. The former view—the view reflected in the actions of federal censorship agents like Jennifer Psaki, Rob Flaherty, Andy Slavitt, Dr. Vivek Murthy, Carol Crawford, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Jen Easterly, Matthew Masterson, Brian Scully, Alex Stamos, Rene DiResta, Kate Starbird, Elvis Chan, Laura Dehmlow, and a host of other federal censors—is terrifying and tyrannical, and its power is expanding rapidly. But the latter view is the vision enshrined in the plain text of our Constitution and deeply engrained in our traditions of liberty. I am profoundly hopeful that this latter vision of freedom will prevail.
So I’ve heard the cocaine was found in the library, outside by the fence, and finally ended up in cubby #50. They also said locker #50’s key was missing. Question; if the cocaine was in locker #50, the key was missing and I’m sure the door was shut, how was someone able to see it and call the fire department? The reason is the package of cocaine was found in the library that is restricted to residence only. The locker/cubby was a lie like everything else that is told to the public. J.Goodrich
I’m sorry but I had to make a post on the house censorship and the freedom of speech “hearing”. I wanted to mention the definition of a hearing is an opportunity to state one’s case. (I feel I got a fair hearing). It was obvious to anyone watching that this was not the intention of any democrat there to allow any of the witnesses to state their case and have a fair hearing. For years now, if not decades, the democrats have zero decorum when it comes to anyone or any thing that goes against their extreme green, woke, communist, socialist agenda period end of “hearing”. They made statements and only wanted yes or no answers with absolutely no input or follow up from the witnesses. They barely entered any facts into the hearing and footage played was edited. The democrats have become a meat grinding party that has no room for a free exchange of ideas. Whenever they were pressed on the issue of censorship or free speech all I could hear was double speak to evade the question. Maya Wiley was a perfect example with her non answer answers. She kept going back to Trump. I knew but didn’t realize the extent of censorship that was taking place in the Biden administration. The White House, the fbi, even the Ukraine was able to censor anti Ukraine posts. How can these totalitarian democrats justify these actions? I believe the democrats have implied their supporters are to stupid to think for themselves and see that eliminating the first amendment is the one way road to totalitarianism. J.Goodrich
These are fabulous. We are dealing with those who have come under the yoke of the father of lies. Thank you for including my favorite Scotsman…he is dead on right.
Fabulous line-up of funnies!! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Neil Oliver is one of my favorites, as are you. I am gob smacked at just how far we have fallen down the rabbit hole of Neo Liberal insanity. Climb out! No matter what it takes, never give up.
Oliver's cogent and informative rant did contain one error. Bill Gates isn't the "largest private landowner" in America. In fact, according to The Land Report Winter 2022 edition (https://landreport.com/2022/12/the-land-report-winter-2022/) he is tied for 41st largest. Jeff Bezos is #24. Gates, however, may be the largest owner of FARMLAND in America, as most big landowners have ranches and timberland.
Off topic: Today, there is a joint plenary meeting and, for the first time, the two different paths to control every aspect of your life are converging at the World Health Organization (WHO) right now. The INB and the Working Group on Amendments to the International Health Regulations (2005) will also hold a joint plenary meeting today.
Alongside epidemics and pandemics, the WHO is adding to its arsenal an “infodemic” in which there is “too much information” as determined by the WHO. Even if the information is true, the WHO wants to limit and control it — just like a disease.
Off topic: Yesterday Congressional Republicans led by Rand Paul and Jim Jordan strike back against Biden’s censorship with the Free Speech Protection Act.
I always feel a cringe (more than that) when I see references to cities burning and looting. I am embarrassed by everything my state is doing, under the guise of "progression". Why are there so many asses in embarrassed.
It is long overdue to publicly state and restate that we have been and are in the middle of largest US conspiracy ever.
Conspiracy led by Hillary DNC team (including St. Obama, Pelosi, Biden, Schiff, etc.) and Deep State (FBI, CIA, NSA, etc.) and also select RINO GOP collaborators.
The unprecedented and on-going CONSPIRACY includes
• Russia-gate 5-year hoax and major election interference,
• coup in Ukraine and attempted coup against elected US president,
• Hunter laptop premediated lies, silencing of US president in social media and resulting stealing of 2020 election,
• protection of Biden and Biden’s family major corruption,
• Jan. 6 armed insurrection set-up (with almost ten dead according to AOC),
• Building a major censorship apparatus led by CIA and FBI executives in State media, Internet, major universities and technology giant firms – that is still maintained
• Persecution, prosecution, and silencing leading 2024 presidential candidates who are opposing the US War uni-party
I hope someone out there can make something out of Sanchez's comment yesterday on the rights "granted to Americans" by the Constutution.
That is disturbing. For the record, Ms Sanchez, the Constitution does not "grant" rights, it "recognizes rights granted by our creator".
Big difference but just shows the mindset of these people.

In these dark times, it is good to find a way to laugh at some of it. Humor has always been a good medicine for the soul. Thank you, Doctor Malone!
I have to ask, are Americans really falling for explanation of the cocaine? They media is talking out of both sides of their mouth.
