Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX), the former White House physician for former Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump, slammed President Joe Biden on Thursday following the first press conference of his presidency, saying that, in his judgment, the 78-year-old president “struggled.” “This ‘Press Brief’ was EMBARRASSING!” Jackson wrote on Twitter. “Not only for Biden, but for the liberal press corps as well. He struggled to make it through, despite the fact that he followed a strict order of reporters to call on and was reading what appeared to be prepared answers from the podium.”

Few people in 2020 came under more heat than Anders Tegnell, Sweden’s top epidemiologist. But the man who forged Sweden’s laissez-faire approach to COVID-19 early in the pandemic says new international data reveal a hard truth about government lockdowns. “I think people will probably think very carefully about these total shutdowns, how good they really were,” Tegnell told Reuters in a recent interview. “They may have had an effect in the short term, but when you look at it throughout the pandemic, you become more and more doubtful.”

Part of the fight over the $1.9 trillion “stimulus” package recently passed by President Biden and his allies in Congress was whether we could really afford nearly $2 trillion more in spending amid skyrocketing debt and already having spent record-levels of money ostensibly on ‘COVID’ relief. But according to a recent report, the latest legislation could prove even more expensive than we thought. The $1.9 trillion estimate assumes that various tax credit programs will be allowed to expire. However, a report by American Enterprise Institute economist Alex Brill concludes that this is highly unlikely—and that if they’re eventually renewed, the bill’s cost could nearly double.

Former President Donald Trump claimed his supporters involved in the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol posed “zero threat” and involved people “hugging and kissing the police.” One police officer was killed in the attack, and at least 138 suffered injuries that included burns, concussions and fractures. The Capitol was overrun with a mob attempting to stop the certification of Democrat Joe Biden’s Electoral College win. The former president also claimed his arrested supporters were being “persecuted” for involvement in the violence.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the accompanying lockdowns reduced global CO2 emissions by 7 percent last year. Some environmentalists, such as the University College London professor Mariana Mazzucato, have thus wondered about the feasibility of future “climate lockdowns … to tackle a climate emergency.” Yet even if we ignore the negative consequences of the lockdowns on broader health outcomes and human psychology, Mazzucato appears to fail to account for the well-known correlation between economic prosperity and environmental quality.

The old news was bad, the new news will be worse.
Earlier this month, the Congressional Budget Office released its Long-Term Budget Outlook. In a presentation this week, the CBO director warned that the report did not take into account the recently signed American Rescue Plan Act, and that things will very likely be worse than the official projections we are about to read: "CBO’s most recent projections, which underlie this presentation, were published on March 4, 2021. They do not include the effects of the American Rescue Plan Act, which was enacted on March 11, 2021. The effects of that law are projected to increase the federal deficit by $1.9 trillion from 2021 through 2031, mainly by increasing spending."

If Sleeping Beauty awakened today, she may be shocked to learn that being a woman no longer means being female. Gender perception trumps biological reality. In fact, biology is downright bigotry in the progressive-era redefinition of the age-old understanding of sex as the immutable genetic code of being male or female. Prince Charming could have ovaries. What Sleeping Beauty would find is a culture in chaos. The tempest of this 21st-century moment? A Democratic majority beholden to left-wing activists and propped up by media that temper any balanced reporting of the facts, evidence, or novel narratives that challenge tradition. Social media platforms and their attendant mobs ban truth-telling in the name of “fake news” and censor dissent. No wonder that the Equal Rights Amendment and the so-called Equality Act are being advanced without any examination of the war on women they portend. Any scrutiny could expose their kiss of deception.
