MORNING NEWS BRIEFING – JANUARY 17, 2022

Posted By: Rick Bulow January 17, 2022

Good morning! Here is your news briefing for Monday January 17, 2022

1.) THE DAILY SIGNAL

January 17 2022
Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day from Washington, where we celebrate the fallen civil rights leader for his nonviolent struggle for equal justice in America. If only today’s woke crowd understood King’s greatness, Star Parker writes. On the podcast, MLK’s niece, Alveda King, shares his message for the nation amid the lies of critical race theory. Plus: liberal fact-checkers ignore Joe Biden’s smear of Americans who disagree with him; conservative lawmakers say the nation’s top educator fails a test; and your letters on hot issues. Twenty-five years ago today, traditionally Catholic Ireland grants a divorce for the first time since voters made it legal in a referendum two years earlier.

Virginia Governor Bans Critical Race Theory

New Virginia governor Glenn Youngkin also ended mandates for masks in school and vaccination requirements for state workers (Axios). In a separate Tweet, Axios claimed Youngkin “doubled down on his order banning critical race theory today” (Twitter). From Noah Pollack: Youngkin openly campaigned on enacting a policy, won, enacted that policy, and then answered a question about it in an interview. This to the hysterics at Axios is framed as “doubling down,” as if he’s a reckless gambler. Ridiculous (Twitter). Some school districts are pushing back (Washington Times). Hugh Hewitt gave one piece of advice to Younkin: Get kids back in school (Washington Post).

Poll: Only 26 Percent of Americans See things as Going Well

It’s a CBS News/YouGov poll and this CBS News article goes to great lengths to not pin the blame on Biden himself. But when Americans disapprove of your handling of the economy by 62 percent and inflation by 70 percent, it’s a hard sell. Also of note in the poll: more than three quarters say their opinion of Biden will not improve if he passes Build Back Better. And it’s the first time, in this poll, Biden’s handling of the pandemic has dipped below 50 percent.

Salt Lake Tribune: Ban Unvaxxed from Going Anywhere

According to their editorial board, the governor should “find a way to mandate the kind of mass vaccination campaign we should have launched a year ago, going as far as to deploy the National Guard to ensure that people without proof of vaccination would not be allowed, well, anywhere” (Salt Lake Tribune). From another story: The proposal is, of course, outrageous, but members of Congress Chip Roy (R-TX) and Lauren Boebert (R-CO) saw the editorial as a warning sign for all Americans that the Left likely wishes it could actually enact such a policy here in America (Daily Wire). More reaction (Townhall).

  • Markets: The stock market is closed today for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Maybe a day off is just what the market needs to score its first winning week of 2022.
  • Economy: A combo of Omicron disruptions, higher inflation, and shortages of everything has caused forecasters to lower their projections for economic growth this quarter. Analysts surveyed by the WSJ dropped their Q1 forecast to 3% annual growth from 4.2% back in October.

Voting rights bill stumbles to the finish line

President Biden speaks to the press Kent Nishimura/Getty Images

Democrats desperately wanted to deliver a major victory on voting rights around Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The reality is, as President Biden conceded last Thursday, “I don’t know whether we can get this done.”

Democrats need 60 votes in the Senate to overcome a Republican filibuster, but they only have 50 senators. And a proposal to change filibuster rules so 50 would be sufficient was dismissed by moderate Democrats Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin, who oppose changing Senate rules even while supporting the voting rights bill. So…the odds aren’t looking good for it.

What’s in the bill?

The 735-page “Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act” would overhaul how US elections are run and reform other areas of national politics like campaign finance and the gerrymandering of congressional districts. It would also make Election Day a federal holiday in midterm and presidential years.

According to Dem activists, the need to protect voting rights is increasingly urgent as GOP-led states pass election laws that make it harder to vote, especially for minorities.

A business newsletter has to ask: Where does Corporate America stand?

Large corporations are generally supportive of Democrats’ election reform measures. More than 150 companies, including Amazon and Pepsi, signed a letter last summer endorsing an earlier version of the voting rights legislation. More recently, a group of business leaders including the CEOs of Etsy and Reddit urged Dems to change filibuster rules in order to push the legislation through the Senate.

  • Businesses have also pushed back on GOP attempts to change elections laws in individual states. MLB even moved the 2021 All-Star Game out of Atlanta after Georgia introduced new voting rules.

Looking ahead…Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said the Senate will take up the voting rights bill, which has already passed the majority-Democrat House, tomorrow. A failure to get it done would be a big setback for Biden’s agenda.

            

WEATHER

So this happened

So this happened CIRA via the Twitter account @US_StormWatch

An underwater volcano erupted in the Pacific Ocean on Saturday, raining ash on the nearby nation of Tonga and prompting tsunami advisories from Japan to California.

The geologic details: This eruption was huge—equivalent to a magnitude 5.8 earthquake, according to the US Geological Survey. It released a plume of ash thousands of feet in the air, and generated a sonic boom that could be heard nearly 6,000 miles away in Alaska.

  • Tsunamis, which are caused by the sudden displacement of a large amount of water, are primarily caused by earthquakes, not undersea volcanoes.

The eruption’s effect on New Zealand and the West Coast of the US was limited but due to the ash, Tonga looks “like a moonscape,” locals told the BBC. While no deaths have been reported there, the damage to Tonga is “significant,” New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern said, and knocked-out communication and internet lines have made it difficult to reach some of the nation’s 105,000 residents.

            

CRYPTO

JPEGs on the menu

illustrations of sushi Flyfish Club

The one knock on New York City’s food scene is that it’s lacking good NFT fare. But a new venture from entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk is trying to change that.

Flyfish Club announced it’s coming to Manhattan early next year as the world’s “first NFT restaurant.” How does it work? You need to be an owner of a Flyfish digital token to partake of the “globally inspired” seafood menu; and another, more exclusive token will get you into a special omakase room.

  • Flyfish has sold 1,501 tokens this month to raise around $15 million for the venture.
  • The NFTs originally went for 2.5 ETH each, or around $8,300, but on the secondary market they’re trading for 6.63 ETH ($22,000) minimum.

Big picture: Sure, an NFT restaurant sounds goofy, but if you think of it more as a social club, like Soho House, it makes a little more sense. Flyfish is betting that people will buy its tokens as a way to signal their social status, similar to a luxury watch or vehicle. If it’s at least a little bit successful, expect more NFT restaurants to follow.

Ship stuck in Suez CanalMahmoud Khaled/Getty Images

Stat: Despite that temporary blockage last February, a record 20,694 ships passed through the Suez Canal in 2021, generating $6.3 billion in fees. Traffic is only expected to increase this year, and so is the canal’s revenue—a 6% toll hike will go into effect in February.

CALENDAR

The week ahead

Novak DjokovicClive Brunskill/Getty Images

The Australian Open gets underway: Novak Djokovic’s quest for a record 21st major championship will have to wait after the unvaccinated tennis star was sent packing from Australia. But let’s not allow this soap opera to overshadow the actual tournament, which began today in Melbourne.

Earnings: Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, Netflix, Procter & Gamble, and United Airlines headline the second week of Q4 earnings season.

5G goes live: Verizon will switch on its 5G “ultra wideband” service in 46 metro areas on Wednesday after delaying the launch for two weeks in a compromise with the aviation industry. The FAA and airlines have warned the service will interfere with airplane software.

Everything else:

  • US households can order four free rapid Covid tests from a government website beginning Wednesday.
  • Betty White would have turned 100 today.
  • Ozark season 4 arrives on Friday.
  • The Sundance Film Festival kicks off on Thursday (it’s virtual, and you can buy tickets here).
            

WHAT ELSE IS BREWING

  • Four hostages were freed and a gunman was killed following an hourslong standoff at a Texas synagogue Saturday.
  • Airlines canceled more than 2,700 flights over the weekend as an ice storm approached the East Coast.
  • Walmart filed trademarks for its own virtual currency and NFTs last month.
  • The University of Michigan fired school President Mark Schlissel following an investigation into his relationship with a subordinate.
  • MrBeast topped 10-year-old toy reviewer Ryan Kaji to become the top-earning YouTube star last year. He earned $54 million, per Forbes.

    The FBI confirmed on Sunday that the hostage-taker was 44-year-old Malik Faisal Akram, a British citizen. Faisal, who investigators said was “singularly focused on one issue” that was “not specifically related to the Jewish community,” was reported dead during a Saturday night press conference, and all the hostages were released.
    …
    Faisal had previously identified himself on a stream as being related to Aafia Siddiqui, who is serving an 86-year sentence for the attempted murder of a U.S. soldier. However, Muhammad Siddiqui, the biological brother of Aafia Siddiqui, said that he was not the man holding the congregants hostage.
    …
    There is an online movement advocating for Aafia Siddiqui’s release, with supporters professing her innocence. Council on American-Islamic Relations National Deputy Director Edward Ahmed Mitchell also issued a statement condemning the hostage situation, saying no cause can “justify or excuse this crime.”

1 big thing: Book bans back in style
Featured image

School districts from Pennsylvania to Wyoming are bowing to pressure from conservative groups to purge library books about LGBTQ issues and people of color, Axios’ Russell Contreras reports.

  • Deborah Caldwell-Stone, director of the American Library Association’s Office for Intellectual Freedom, told Axios: “I’ve worked for this office for 20 years, and we’ve never had this volume of challenges come in such a short time.”
  • Librarians are using the hashtag #FReadom to fight book bans.

Why it matters: As the nation’s public schools become more diverse, conflicts over what books students can access — or must read — are posing new questions about free speech and the purpose of education.

Zoom out: A pivotal midterm election year, COVID frustrations and a backlash against efforts to call out systemic racism are turning public schools into ground zero in the culture wars.

Zoom in: In Virginia, just over an hour south of D.C., the Spotsylvania County School Board in November ordered staff to remove “sexually explicit” books from libraries after a parent raised concerns about their LGBTQ themes.

  • Texas school districts are scrambling to review and ban some library books after state Rep. Matt Krause, a candidate for state attorney general, asked school superintendents to confirm whether any books on his list of 850 titles were on their shelves.

From the left: Some progressive activists have sought to pull literary staples from school syllabi under the argument that in today’s context, they perpetuate racist or sexist constructs.

  • Liberal-leaning parents also have called for books to be banned over the use of dated racial epithets and themes of “white saviorism.”
  • The ALA’s Caldwell-Stone says such challenges are sporadic and nothing compared to the current conservative-backed efforts.

From the right: Tiffany Justice, co-founder of Moms for Liberty, told Axios parents want educators to listen to parents’ concerns and not force certain subjects on children.

  • She said parents have the right to challenge books from Black scholars like Ibram X. Kendi if they see it as indoctrination.
  • Justice says Moms for Liberty has 70,000 members in 33 states and plans to expand.

The bottom line: John L. Jackson, dean of the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania, said the fight over books is a microcosm of our political divisions.

2. Rabbi credits active-shooter training

Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker — who was among the four hostages at Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville, Texas, on Saturday — said his congregation has taken security training over the years from Colleyville police, FBI, Anti-Defamation League and Secure Community Network.

  • “We are alive today because of that education,” he said in a statement. “I encourage all Jewish congregations, religious groups, schools, and others to participate in active-shooter and security courses.”
  • “In the last hour of our hostage crisis, the gunman became increasingly belligerent and threatening. Without the instruction, … we would not have been prepared to act and flee when the situation presented itself.”

Zoom in: The FBI identified the hostage-taker as British citizen Malik Faisal Akram, 44.

  • Two teenagers in South Manchester, England, were detained for questioning about the siege. Go deeper.

Zoom out: President Biden said in Philadelphia: “This was an act of terror.”

  • Biden said he told Attorney General Merrick Garland “that I wanted to make sure we got the word out to synagogues and places of worship that we’re not going to tolerate this, that we have this capacity to deal with the assaults on particularly the antisemitism that has grown up.”
3. 🇬🇷 Greece to fine unvaxxed seniors

Greece today imposed a vaccination mandate for people over 60, with fines to back it up, AP reports:

  • Older people failing to get vaccinated will face a €50 ($57) fine in January, followed by a monthly fine of €100 ($114) after that.
  • Health Minister Thanos Plevris said fines would be collected through the tax office with the money to be used to help fund state hospitals.

The context: The vaccination rate in Greece is below the EU average. A recent spike in infections has poured pressure on hospitals.

5. 🏛️ Database documents 1,700 congressional enslavers

The Washington Post examined thousands of pages of census records and historical documents to create a database of 1,739 former congressmen who once enslaved Black people:

  • “From the founding of the United States until long after the Civil War,” The Post reports, “hundreds of the elected leaders writing the nation’s laws were current or former” enslavers.
  • “More than 1,700 people who served in the U.S. Congress in the 18th, 19th and even 20th centuries owned human beings at some point.”

The big picture: “The link between race and political power in early America echoes in complicated ways, from the racial inequities that persist to this day to the polarizing fights over voting rights and the way history is taught in schools,” The Post writes.

The findings: “[E]nslavers in Congress represented 37 states, including not just the South but every state in New England, much of the Midwest, and many Western states.”

  • “For the first 18 years of American lawmaking, from 1789 to 1807, more than half the men elected to Congress each session” enslaved people.

Welcome to The Hill’s Morning Report. It is Monday, Martin Luther King Jr. Day! We get you up to speed on the most important developments in politics and policy, plus trends to watch. Alexis Simendinger and Al Weaver are the co-creators. Readers can find us on Twitter @asimendinger and @alweaver22. Please recommend the Morning Report to friends and let us know what you think. CLICK HERE to subscribe!

Total U.S. coronavirus deaths reported today: 850,605.

 

As of today, 74.2 percent of the U.S. population has received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine and 62.3 percent is “fully vaccinated,” according to the Bloomberg News global vaccine tracker and the government’s definition. The percentage of the Americans who have received third or booster doses is 23.7.

On Martin Luther King Jr. Day today, President Biden and other Democratic leaders will use the chilly federal holiday to tie the civil rights movement 60 years ago to the Senate’s doomed efforts this week to pass bills they argue would protect voting rights against threats posed by Republicans.

 

The GOP’s opposition to a pair of bills, the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, which Democratic leaders say they intend to put to the test on the Senate floor on Tuesday, is almost a sidebar to the attention paid to the second-guessing and discord within the majority party (The Hill).

 

Biden, who is calibrating his rhetoric with an eye to voters’ criticisms in polls and poor grades from party notables, will hold his first press conference since November on Wednesday to mark his initial year in office (CNN).

 

Biden last week, acknowledging probable defeat, suggested advocates for voting rights won’t quit in Congress before eventually enacting protections, much as they did when King and other leaders in the civil rights movement traveled to Capitol Hill and to the White House to strategize with allies, including former Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson (pictured below), before Johnson got the chance to sign the 1965 Voting Rights Act into law.

 

The Hill: Democrats on Sunday pushed voting rights ahead of scheduled Senate vote.

 

Centrist Democrats, not unlike their Republican colleagues, have misgivings about the two election reform bills and want the Senate filibuster rule to remain as is, undercutting progressives’ hopes of wrestling victory from a losing Senate hand.

 

Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin (W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (Ariz.) continue to be two of the most vocal opponents who have resisted Biden’s many private and public entreaties to see things his way.

 

Politico: Manchin drafted a version of the Freedom to Vote Act with Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams (D), which is not the version heading to the floor this week, said Steve Clemons, editor at large at The Hill.

 

House Majority Whip James Clyburn, 81, a Democrat from South Carolina who marched for civil rights in the 1960s and considers this year’s defense of voting rights akin to saving U.S. democracy from new conservative threats, insisted on Sunday that this week’s Senate bills are “on life support” but not dead (The Hill).

 

“When it comes to the Constitution of the United States of America, no one person sitting downtown in a spa ought to be able to pick up the telephone and say you are going to put a hold on my ability to vote. And that’s what is going on here,” Clyburn told CNN when asked about Sinema’s prediction that GOP senators will turn the tables on Democrats the next time they are in the majority.

 

“I would wish they would stop that foolishness because if we do not protect the vote with everything that we’ve got, we will not have a country to protect going forward,” Clyburn added.

 

There is no Democratic consensus about an agenda or even agreement about how to pitch this year’s events to voters as the midterm elections loom. The party in the White House wants to rebuild voter support, but how?

 

“Clearly, the current strategy is failing and we need a major course correction,” Sen. Bernie Sanders, the liberal Independent from Vermont who caucuses with the Democrats, told The New York Times.

 

The search for hope and a bridge to build back better in the future — to cite a mashup of Democratic themes since the 1990s — has sent some Democrats thumbing through their nostalgia notebooks. Ideas such as a third Hillary Clinton candidacy or adding Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), a foe of former President Trump, to a ticket in response to Biden’s woes are derided by young progressives as soon as they are floated (The Hill).

👉 What else we’re watching this week:

 

> On Wednesday, the government says the public can begin to order up to four free at-home COVID-19 tests online and by phone to ship via the U.S. Postal Service at no charge to their addresses for arrival in a week to 12 days. The website is ​​COVIDTests.gov. It is not the most timely way to receive such rapid tests if symptoms of COVID-19 infection crop up beforehand, but it is another way to be prepared as the omicron surge continues (The Associated Press).

 

> The federal budget is back in the spotlight. Biden is expected to soon send lawmakers a COVID-19 supplemental budget request to fund more booster doses, antiviral pills, masks and tests (Axios and Roll Call). … Hotels, fitness clubs, tour bus companies and minor league ball clubs are part of a long line of businesses seeking billions of dollars in new COVID-19 relief aid — if they can overcome opposition from many Republicans who say Congress has already done its part (The Wall Street Journal). … The government is operating on short-term funding that expires on Feb. 18. Talks over an omnibus package to prevent a shutdown have quietly resumed (The New York Times).

 

> The Australian Open tournament is underway today, minus the world’s top-ranked men’s tennis star. Some players say they hope the focus can return to tennis. Novak Djokovic was deported from Melbourne after a prolonged drama over his status as unvaccinated against COVID-19 and because of inaccuracies on his visa application. Djokovic was seeking his 10th Australian Open title. He said he was “disappointed” when his appeal was rejected by a federal court on Sunday and he was forced to exit the country (ESPN).

Why Facebook supports updated internet regulations

Hear more from Rochelle on why Facebook supports updating regulations on the internet’s most pressing challenges, including federal privacy legislation.

LEADING THE DAY
CORONAVIRUS: Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R), the state’s newly minted chief executive, who was elected on a platform of parental rights and an end to COVID-19 school mandates, immediately signed an executive order ending mask mandates for schools and vaccine mandates for state workers.

 

Starting Jan. 24, masks are optional for parents of students in public and private schools, pre-K and up. Some school districts, including Arlington County in Northern Virginia, said they will ignore the order and continue to require masks (The Washington Post).

 

The Hill: Surgeon General Vivek ​​Murthy: Supreme Court blocking vaccine mandate is a “setback for public health.”

 

The White House, however, is moving in the opposite direction. As The Hill’s Peter Sullivan details, the Biden administration is trying to kick-start actions on testing and masks in the face of pressure from congressional Democrats and questions regarding why they didn’t take place months ago. Among them is Biden announcing a purchase of 500 million rapid tests and an upcoming one to increase availability of N95 and KN95 masks.

 

Five Democratic senators led by Sen. Jacky Rosen (Nev.) released a letter to the White House on Friday expressing “grave concern” with the state of the pandemic response, arguing that it has often been “reactive, rather than proactive.”

 

“This Administration either knew or should have known that testing shortages were occurring across the country over the past several months, and with the full expectation that the virus would likely mutate into a new variant steps to increase testing access should have happened before the current wave hit, not several weeks into the surge, with resources still not available until later this month or beyond,” the senators wrote.

 

The White House’s push to increase free rapid tests also comes weeks after the nation’s capital and states moved to do just that. In Washington, D.C., rapid tests are available at public libraries after a directive from Mayor Muriel Bowser (D). It also caught insurers off guard, leaving them little time to prepare to immediately provide coverage (The New York Times).

 

The Atlantic: The worst of the omicron wave could still be coming.

 

NBC News: Cost of masks and tests deepens a pandemic wedge between the haves and the have-nots.

 

The Wall Street Journal: To sway unvaccinated, new tactics are tried at funeral homes, on radio shows.

 

> Masks: Are you trying to select N95 or K95 masks while avoiding counterfeits? The New York Times has a guide and Bloomberg News reported some consumer tips: KN95s are made in China to meet that country’s regulatory standards, while U.S.-made N95s are considered the gold standard. K95-style masks loop around the ears rather than wrapping around the back of the head like N95s. While that makes KN95 masks more comfortable, it also means they seal to the face a bit less effectively. For the time being, N95 masks are still recommended for those in high-risk health care settings, such as hospitals. KN95s are fine for most people in other settings. Some American manufacturers, several of which are approved by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, have begun manufacturing KN95-style masks as well, including Protective Health Gear and DemeTech. Nonprofit group Project N95 was founded to help people obtain legitimate medical-grade masks.

 

> International: With the Winter Olympics weeks away, China is increasing its testing requirement and mandating that all travelers headed to Beijing receive a COVID-19 test within 72 hours of arrival.

 

The new rule will take effect on Sunday and last through the end of March. The Beijing Olympic Games are set to start on Feb. 4. The previous directive mandated travelers to be tested for the virus within 48 hours of their departure for Beijing (The Hill).

 

The Associated Press: China aims for “zero-COVID” Winter Olympics in February.

 

The Associated Press: Omicron exposes inflexibility of Europe’s public hospitals.

****

 

CONGRESS: Former acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller, who served in the role under Trump, met with the House select committee probing the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol last week.

 

Miller reportedly met with the panel on Friday, having served in the acting capacity during the deadly riot. It is not clear what he discussed with committee members. The sit-down came after Kash Patel, Miller’s former chief of staff, met with the panel last month.

 

The former Pentagon chief accused Trump of being responsible for inciting the attack (NBC News).

 

The latest committee meetings come amid a high-profile spat with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), who spurned calls by the panel to cooperate last week.

 

As The Hill’s Rebecca Beitsch and Scott Wong write, McCarthy — who is in line to become Speaker next year if Republicans retake the lower chamber — has little incentive to play ball, as any talks about his calls with Trump during and after the attack would anger the ex-president and only embolden his opponents.

 

“The significance of what happened that day isn’t lost on anybody, and he’s clearly put a political calculation above talking about what he knows,” a House Republican aide told The Hill of McCarthy’s communications with Trump surrounding the day’s events. “His whole goal, everything he does, is focused on how do I get or maintain 218 votes so I can be Speaker.” 

 

The Hill: Department of Justice raises stakes with rarely used sedition charges for Oath Keepers.

 

Alexander Bolton, The Hill: Democrats see good chance of Attorney General Merrick Garland prosecuting Trump.

 

> Dead or not dead?: Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) on Sunday said he believes the core provisions of the Build Back Better agenda will ultimately pass but allowed that many of the extraneous provisions in the package are “dead” after Manchin voiced opposition to the proposal.

 

“You’re right that it’s dead. The most recent version of it is not going to happen,” Kaine told “Face the Nation” moderator Margaret Brennan. “But if you look at the core of the bill, I think the core is education and workforce and things like reduce childcare and education expenses, workforce training, and then support for the workforce in areas like health care” (The Hill).

IN FOCUS/SHARP TAKES
POLITICS: Arizona is the focus of much of the political universe as both of the state’s senators are coming under the microscope ahead of high-profile reelection battles later this year and in 2024.

 

For much of the past year, Sinema has been in the spotlight for role as a semi-gatekeeper for the Biden agenda, headlined by her move to uphold the legislative filibuster last week. However, her intransigence on the issue has opened her up even further to a primary effort, with progressives itching to deny her a second term.

 

As The Hill’s Jordain Carney points out, Sinema’s speech effectively putting to bed any chances to create a filibuster exception in the name of voting rights reform earned her a direct response from Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.), a favorite of the left who is considered a top primary challenger. It also drew the ire of outside groups both at the national and state levels.

 

“I don’t know what she gains from doing what she did. … Either she delivers on the policies that we’re asking for or she’s out,” said Luis Avila, an organizer aligned with the Primary Sinema Project, which is fundraising in support of a potential 2024 challenger.

 

Sinema’s problems, however, have not trickled down to the state’s other top Democrat, Sen. Mark Kelly (Ariz.), who is sticking to his game plan ahead of his reelection contest this fall: raise gobs of money and remain vague on a potpourri of hot-button issues.

 

As The Hill’s Tax Axelrod notes, Kelly hasn’t taken a firm stance on a number of topics, including nixing the 60-vote legislative filibuster and the Build Back Better agenda, representing a repeat of what helped get him to the upper chamber in the first place. Although that maneuvering has rubbed Republicans the wrong way, it hasn’t had the same impact on Democratic voters, with his fundraising totals speaking volumes. In the final quarter of 2021, he raked in nearly $9 million and has $18.5 million in the bank.

 

However, whether that strategy lasts is an open question. Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) is expected to put a sprawling voting rights reform bill on the floor this week, forcing Kelly to finally go on the record.

 

The Hill: Florida looms large in Republican 2024 primary.

 

Trump is suddenly critical of Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, according to The New York Times and Axios. Trump is reportedly irked by DeSantis repeatedly declining to say that he would not run for president in 2024 if Trump decides to do so. In response, Trump has told associates that DeSantis could never beat, labeling him “dull.”

Kelly is not the only top Democrat who has adopted a cautious approach these days. In Georgia, Abrams is tippy-toeing around the political scene lately, headlined by her decision to skip Biden’s speech on election reform last week in Atlanta.

 

Abrams chalked her absence up to a scheduling conflict, but speculation has centered on whether she is trying to distance herself from the White House ahead of what is expected to be a tough bid this fall for the state’s governorship (The Hill).

ADMINISTRATION: The Justice Department and local law enforcement reacted to a Texas synagogue hostage-taking over the weekend as an event that had the potential to inspire copycats and warranted additional security at synagogues in major U.S. cities. No additional threats or warnings have been reported (The Times of Israel).

 

Biden called it an “act of terror” as the FBI identified the man who seized four now-rescued hostages as Malik Faisal Akram, 44, a British national who was killed in a raid following a 10-hour standoff (The Hill). A rabbi who was among the hostages said the suspect grew “increasingly belligerent and threatening” as the FBI negotiated the hostages’ release (The Associated Press). The FBI’s North Texas Joint Terrorism Task Force said “there is no indication that other individuals are involved” and that the investigation will continue.

 

> U.S. officials, including tough negotiator Wendy Sherman, deputy secretary of State (The Hill), aspire to resolve Russia’s aggressive stance toward Ukraine through diplomacy (The Hill), but intelligence assessments about a suspected Russian false flag plot (Axios and CNN) suggest increasing expectations in the West that Moscow will invade its neighbor within a month’s time (CNBC).

26.) AMERICAN MINUTE

Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., Pastor of Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, Montgomery, AL, & Ebenezer Baptist Church, Atlanta, GA – American Minute with Bill Federer

January 17, 2022 • Jr. • Pastor of Dexter Avenue Baptist Church & Ebenezer Baptist Church – American Minute with Bill Federer • Rev. Martin Luther King

In 1983, Republican President Ronald Reagan signed the bill to make the 3rd Monday in January a holiday in honor of Baptist Pastor, Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., who was born JANUARY 15, 1929.
Martin was a Baptist preacher like his brother, Rev. A.D. King, pastor of Mount Vernon First Baptist Church in Newnan, Georgia, and like his father, Rev. “Daddy” King – Martin Luther King, Sr., who was pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia.

Miracles in American History-Vol. TWO: Amazing Faith that Shaped the Nation

Rev. King attended Booker T. Washington High School in Atlanta, 1942-44.

In 1944, Martin Luther King, Jr., attended Morehouse College in Atlanta, a college founded after the Civil War by Baptist minister Rev. William Jefferson White.
Originally named Atlanta Baptist College, it was renamed after Henry Lyman Morehouse, secretary of the American Baptist Home Mission Society.
At Morehouse, King was a member of the debate team, student council, glee club, sociology club, and minister’s union.

In 1948, King, Jr., became a student at Crozer Theological Seminary in Upland, Pennsylvania, graduating with a Bachelor of Divinity degree in 1951.

While a theological student, King attended Calvary Baptist Church in Chester, Pennsylvania.

In 1954, King became pastor of Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama.

In 1960, he became co-pastor with his father of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta.
King formed the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.

Rev. King, Jr., stated:
“I see Israel as one of the great outposts of democracy in the world … as a marvelous example of what can be done … how desert land can be transformed into an oasis of brotherhood and democracy.”
“Peace for Israel means security and that security must be a reality.”
“I solemnly pledge to do my utmost to uphold the fair name of the Jews.”

Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1964. In his acceptance speech in Oslo, Norway, King acknowledged:
“… profound recognition that nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral question of our time — the need for man to overcome oppression and violence WITHOUT resorting to violence and oppression.”

On April 16, 1963, Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., wrote:
“As the Apostle Paul carried the gospel of Jesus Christ … so am I compelled to carry the gospel …
One day the South will know that when these disinherited children of God sat down at lunch counters they were standing up for what is best in the American dream and for the most sacred values in our Judeo-Christian heritage.”

Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., as well as South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu, were influenced by the German church leader Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who resisted Hitler’s National Socialist Workers’ Party.

Bonhoeffer was himself influenced by the Black preacher, Adam Clayton Powell Sr., pastor of Harlem’s Abyssinian Baptist Church, once the largest Protestant church in America.

American Minute-Notable Events of American Significance Remembered on the Date They Occurred

Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., was also influenced by Henry David Thoreau, who wrote in his book, In Civil Disobedience (1849):
“That government is best which governs least”

Rev. King was influenced by Booker T. Washington, having attended the high school named for him.
Booker T. Washington founded Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, and wrote Up From Slavery (1901), in which he stated:
“I resolved that I would permit no man, no matter what his color might be, to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him.

… With God’s help, I believe that I have completely rid myself of any ill feeling toward the Southern white man for any wrong that he may have inflicted upon my race …
I pity from the bottom of my heart any individual who is so unfortunate as to get into the habit of holding race prejudice.”

Booker T. Washington stated:
“In the sight of God there is no color line, and we want to cultivate a spirit that will make us forget that there is such a line anyway.”
“I have always had the greatest respect for the work of the Salvation Army especially because I have noted that it draws no color line in religion.”

Booker T. Washington wrote in Up From Slavery (1901):
“There is a class of race problem solvers who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs and the hardships of the Negro race before the public …
Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances because they do not want to lose their jobs …
They don’t want the patient to get well …
Great men cultivate love … only little men cherish a spirit of hatred.”

Booker T. Washington recruited George Washington Carver to be a professor at Tuskegee.
Carver wrote to Robert Johnson, March 24, 1925:
“Thank God I love humanity; complexion doesn’t interest me one single bit.”

George W. Carver wrote to YMCA official Jack Boyd in Denver, March 1, 1927:
“Keep your hand in that of the Master, walk daily by His side,
so that you may lead others into the realms of true happiness, where a religion of hate, (which poisons both body and soul) will be unknown,
having in its place the ‘Golden Rule’ way, which is the ‘Jesus Way’ of life, will reign supreme.”

Becoming internationally renown, George Washington Carver received letters from leaders around the world, including Mahatma Gandhi, with whom he corresponded from 1929 to 1935, addressing him “My beloved friend, Mr. Gandhi.”

Gandhi’s insistence on non-violent protests helped India gain its independence from Great Britain, August 15, 1947.
The United Nations designated Gandhi’s birthday, October 2, as the International Day of Non-Violence.

Gandhi wrote in his autobiography of an incident on a ship with 800 passengers traveling from India to the Natal Province of South Africa.
When some passengers learned that Gandhi was aboard, they grew furious.

As Gandhi was disembarking, they punched him, kicked him, and threw stones at him, but he refused to retaliate and kept walking.
He was finally rescued when the wife of the town’s police superintendent opened her parasol and stood between Gandhi and the mob.

Gandhi wrote:
“I hope God will give me the courage and the sense to forgive them and to refrain from bringing them to law.
I have no anger against them. I am only sorry for their ignorance and their narrowness.
I know that they sincerely believe that what they are doing today is right and proper. I have no reason therefore to be angry with them.”

Gandhi read the Gospels, stating that Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount “went straight to my heart.”
While practicing law in South Africa from 1893 to 1914, he went to visit a church, but the usher refused to let him in because of his race.
Later, missionary E. Stanley Jones asked him:
“Mr. Gandhi, though you quote the words of Christ often, why is that you appear to so adamantly reject becoming his follower?”
Gandhi replied,
“Oh, I don’t reject Christ. I love Christ. It’s just that so many of you Christians are so unlike Christ …
If Christians would really live according to the teachings of Christ, as found in the Bible, all of India would be Christian today.”

Historian Will Durant wrote of Gandhi in The Story of Civilization, Volume I:
“He did not mouth the name of Christ, but acted as if he accepted every word on the Sermon on the Mount.
Not since St. Francis of Assisi has any life known to history been so marked by gentleness, disinterestedness, simplicity and forgiveness of enemies.”

Gandhi was assassinated on January 30, 1948.
His non-violent methods influenced Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., who referred to Gandhi as “the guiding light of our technique of nonviolent social change.”

Rev. King left on a five week tour of India, February 3, 1959. He met Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and toured the country.
Afterwards, King reflected:
“Since being in India, I am more convinced than ever before that the method of nonviolent resistance is the most potent weapon available to oppressed people in their struggle for justice and human dignity.
In a real sense, Mahatma Gandhi embodied in his life certain universal principles that are inherent in the moral structure of the universe, and these principles are as inescapable as the law of gravitation” (Papers 5:136).
King wrote:
“Mahatma Gandhi was the first person in human history to lift the ethic of love of Jesus Christ, above mere interaction between individuals and make it into a powerful and effective social force on a large scale.”

On March 6, 1984, President Ronald Reagan mentioned Rev. King in his remarks at the annual convention of the National Association of Evangelicals, meeting at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Columbus, Ohio:
“During the civil rights struggles of the fifties and early sixties, millions worked for equality in the name of their Creator.
Civil rights leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King based all their efforts on the claim that black or white, each of us is a child of God. And they stirred our nation to the very depths of its soul.”

In 1957, Rev. Martin Luther King attended the Billy Graham Crusade in New York City.

Graham wrote in his autobiography:
“One night civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., whom I was pleased to count a friend, gave an eloquent opening prayer at the service; he also came at my invitation to one of our Team retreats during the Crusade to help us understand the racial situation in America more fully.”

Becoming friends, Billy Graham shared a conversation with Rev. King:
“His father, who was called Big Mike, called him Little Mike. He asked me to call him just plain Mike.”

Rev. King credited Billy Graham with reducing racial tension, as Graham even canceled a 1965 tour of Europe to preach crusades in Alabama, allowing the Gospel to bring healing between the races.

Billy Graham stated:
“Jesus was not a white man; He was not a black man. He came from that part of the world that touches Africa and Asia and Europe.
Christianity is not a white man’s religion, and don’t let anybody ever tell you that it’s white or black. Christ belongs to all people; He belongs to the whole world.”

Billy Graham wrote:
“My study of the Bible, leading me eventually to the conclusion that not only was racial inequality wrong but Christians especially should demonstrate love toward all peoples.”

Martin Luther King, Jr., wrote:
“Had it not been for the ministry of my good friend Dr. Billy Graham, my work in the Civil Rights Movement would not have been as successful as it has been.”

On January 20, 1997, Rev. Billy Graham delivered the invocation just prior to the Second Inauguration of President Bill Clinton, stating:
“Oh, Lord, help us to be reconciled first to you and secondly to each other. May Dr. Martin Luther King’s dream finally come true for all of us.
Help us to learn our courtesy to our fellow countrymen, that comes from the one who taught us that ‘whatever you want me to do to you, do also to them.”

In proclaiming 1990 the International Year of Bible Reading, President George H.W. Bush stated:
“The historic speeches of Abraham Lincoln and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., provide compelling evidence of the role Scripture played in shaping the struggle against slavery and discrimination.”

On February 16, 2002, Dr. James Dobson addressed 3,500 attendees at the National Religious Broadcaster’s convention:
“Those of you who do feel that the church has no responsibility in the cultural area … Suppose it were … 1963, and Martin Luther King is sitting in a Birmingham jail and he is released.
And he goes to a church, yes, a church. And from that church, he comes out into the streets of Birmingham and marches for civil rights.
Do you oppose that? Is that a violation of the separation of church and state?”

In his address at Montgomery, Alabama, December 31, 1955, Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., declared:
“If you will protest courageously, and yet with dignity and Christian love, when the history books are written in future generations, the historians will have to pause and say,
‘There lived a great people-a black people-who injected new meaning and dignity into the veins of civilization.'”

Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., said August 28, 1963:
“Now is the time to open the doors of opportunity to all of God’s children …
In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds.
Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.
We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence.”

On April 16, 1963, Rev. King stated:
“I must make two honest confessions to you, my Christian and Jewish brothers … I stand in the middle of two opposing forces in the Negro community.
One is a force of complacency … The other force is one of bitterness and hatred, and it comes perilously close to advocating violence.

… It is expressed in the various black nationalist groups that are springing up across the nation, the largest and best-known being Elijah Muhammad’s Muslim movement …
This movement is made up of people who have lost faith in America, who have absolutely repudiated Christianity, and who have concluded that the white man is an incorrigible ‘devil.'”

One black man who lost faith in America was Manning Johnson (1908-1959).
He joined the communist movement for ten years and ran for Congress in New York (NY-22) as a communist candidate in 1935.
Finally, he came to the realization communists cared nothing for the plight of the black community but were simply using them to bring division for their political gain.
He wrote:
“Ten years later, thoroughly disillusioned, I abandoned communism. The experiences of those years in ‘outer darkness’ are like a horrible nightmare.”

Manning Johnson wrote an exposé titled Color, Communism and Common Sense, 1958.
The Foreword was written by Archibald B. Roosevelt, a decorated U.S. military commander and son of President Theodore Roosevelt.
Less than a year after Manning published his tell-all book, he was killed in an automobile accident in 1959, described with “a veil of mystery obscures the true circumstances of Manning Johnson’s death.”
Johnson wrote of his life journey:
“To me, the end of capitalism would mark the beginning of an interminable period of plenty, peace, prosperity and universal comradeship.
All racial and class differences and conflicts would end forever after the liquidation of the capitalists, their government and their supporters …
Being an idealist, I was sold this ‘bill of goods’ … Like other Negroes, I experienced and saw many injustices and inequities around me based upon color, not ability.
I was told that ‘the decadent capitalist system is responsible,’ that ‘mass pressure’ could force concessions but ‘that just prolongs the life of capitalism’; that I must unite and work with all those who more or less agree that capitalism must go.
Little did I realize until I was deeply enmeshed in the red conspiracy, that … grievances are exploited to transform idealism into a cold and ruthless weapon against the capitalist system — that this is the end toward which all the communist efforts among Negroes are directed …
I saw communism in all its naked cruelty, ruthlessness and utter contempt of Christian attributes and passions.
And, too, I saw the low value placed upon human life, the total lack of respect for the dignity of man.”

Johnson continued:
“After two years of practical training in organizing street demonstrations, inciting mob violence, how to fight the police and how to politically ‘throw a brick and hide’ … I was given an … intensive course in the theory and practice of red political warfare … that changed me from a novice into a dedicated red — a professional revolutionist.”
He explained further in Color, Communism and Common Sense, 1958.
“I began to realize the full implications of how the Negro is used as a political dupe by the Kremlin hierarchy …
The white socio-liberal, philanthropic, humanitarian supporter … when communists unite with and support them today, it is necessary to keep in mind that ‘it may be necessary to denounce them tomorrow and the day after tomorrow hang them …'”
He continued:
“White leftists descended on Negro communities like locusts, posing as ‘friends’ come to help ‘liberate’ their black brothers …
Everything was inter-racial, an inter-racialism artificially created, cleverly devised as a camouflage of the red plot to use the Negro.”

Malcolm X essentially said the same in a 1963 address:
“The liberal is more deceitful, more hypocritical than the conservative …
The white liberal is the one who has perfected the art of posing as the Negro’s friend and benefactor, and by winning the friendship and support of the Negro, the white liberal is able to use the Negro as a pawn or a weapon in this political football game that is constantly raging between the white liberal and the white conservative.
The American Negro is nothing but a political football and the white liberals control this ball through tricks or tokenism, false promises of integration and civil rights …
The white liberals have complete cooperation of the Negro civil rights leaders who sell our people out for a few crumbs of token recognition, token gains, token progress.”

Johnson explained how communists manipulated churches into replacing the message of forgiveness of sins through faith in Christ with a message of “social justice.”
Instead of “For God so love the world that He gave his only begotten son,” woke churches co-opted by communists transformed Jesus into being a Palestinian agitator.
He wrote:
“A large number of Negro ministers are all for the communists …
They in common believe that beating the racial drums is a short cut to prominence, money and the realization of personal ambitions even if the Negro masses are left prostrate and bleeding — expendables in the mad scramble for power …
White ministers acting as missionaries, using the race angle as bait, aided in the cultivation of Negro ministers for work in the red solar system …
The new line went like this: Jesus, the carpenter, was a worker like the communists. He was against the ‘money changers,’ the ‘capitalists,’ the ‘exploiters’ of that day.
That is why he drove them from the temple. The communists are the modern day fighters against the capitalists or money changers.
If Jesus were living today, he would be persecuted like the communists who seek to do good for the common people …
Of all their methods used, it was generally agreed that the church is the ‘best cover for illegal work.’
Where possible we should build units in the church youth organizations … under the illegal conditions, as it will be easier to work in the church organizations.”

Congressman Albert S. Herlong, January 1, 1963, read into the Congressional Record (Vol 109, 88th Congress, 1st Session, Appendix, pp. A34–A35) the communist goals for America, which included:
“Discredit the Bible … Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with ‘social’ religion.”

Alexander Solzhenitsyn warned in Washington, D.C., June 30, 1975:
“I … call upon America to … prevent those … from falsely using the struggle for peace and for social justice to lead you down a false road.”

In 2 Corinthians 11, the Apostle Paul gave a rebuke:
“I am afraid, however, that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may be led astray from your simple and pure devotion to Christ.
For if someone comes and proclaims a Jesus other than the One we proclaimed … or a different gospel than the one you accepted, you put up with it way too easily.”
Paul admonished in Galatians 1:
“I am amazed how quickly you are deserting the One who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel — which is not even a gospel.
Evidently some people are … trying to distort the gospel of Christ … If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be under a curse!”

SOCIALISM – The Real History from Plato to the Present: How the Deep State Capitalizes on Crises to Consolidate Control

Manning Johnson explained their tactics:
“Setting up situations that bring about racial bitterness, violence and conflict; putting forth demands so unrealistic that race relations are worsened;
attacking everybody in disagreement as reactionaries, fascists, Ku Kluxers among whites; and Uncle Toms among Negroes, constitute the red’s pattern of operation …
Stirring up race and class conflict is the basis of all discussion of the communist party’s work …
The evil genius, Stalin, and the other megalomaniacal leaders in Moscow ordered the use of all racial, economic and social differences, no matter how small or insignificant, to start local fires of discontent, conflict and revolt …
Black rebellion was what Moscow wanted. Bloody racial conflict would split America.
During the confusion, demoralization and panic would set in. Then finally, the reds say:
‘Workers stop work, many of them seize arms … Street fights become frequent … Seize the principal government offices, invade the residences of the President and his Cabinet members, arrest them, declare the old regime abolished, establish their own power …’
What if one or five million Negroes die … is not the advance of the cause worth it?
A communist is not a sentimentalist. He does not grieve over the loss of life in the advancement of communism.

… This plot to use the Negroes as the spearhead, or as expendables, was concocted by Stalin in 1928, nearly ten years after the formation of the world organization of communism …
From the bloody gun battles at Camp Hill, Alabama (1931), to the present … the heavy hand of communism has moved, stirring up racial strife, creating confusion, hate and bitterness so essential to the advancement of the red cause.”

Such communist tactics were described by Sanford D. Horwitt in Let Them Call Me Rebel: Saul Alinsky: His Life & Legacy (1992):
“1972 … students asked Alinsky to help plan a protest of a scheduled speech by George H.W. Bush, then a U.S. representative to the United Nations …
He told them … to go … dressed as members of the Klu Klux Klan, and whenever Bush said something in defense of the Vietnam War, they should cheer and wave placards reading ‘The KKK Supports Bush.’
And that is what the students did, with very successful results.”

Manning Johnson continued:
“The reds and so-called progressives never spend money on projects to ‘help’ the Negroes unless these projects pay off in race conflict and animosity … resentment that can be exploited …

… Some people describe New York City as a ‘melting pot’ … German sections, Italian sections, Irish sections, Jewish sections, Puerto Rican sections, Chinese sections, Negro sections, etc … like five fingers on the hand, yet they are one solid fist as Americans.
The communists try to exploit these national, racial and religious differences in order to weaken, undermine and subjugate America to Moscow.
Like a serpent, they use guile to seduce each group.
The communists, through propaganda, have sold a number of Negro intellectuals the idea that the Negro section is a ghetto; that white Americans created it, set its geographical boundaries; that it is the product of race hate and the inhumanity of white Americans.
Therefore, it is a struggle of Negro against ‘white oppressors’ for emancipation …
Obviously, this line, deliberately spread by the communists, leads to the worst kind of mischief. It strengthens and creates racial prejudices and lays the basis for sharp racial conflicts …”

Johnson explained:
“Blaming others may be the easy way, but it is only a short cut to communist slavery …
The reds called those persons ‘Uncle Toms’ who sought solution of the race problem through the medium of education, patience, understanding and discussion which would lead to mutual agreement.
Since any program leading to a peaceful solution of the race problem automatically excludes and dooms red efforts among Negroes, it goes without saying that the reds are going to oppose it … They must ‘be discredited and isolated from the masses.’
So, in addition to the tags of ‘enemy of the race,’ ‘tool of the white ruling class,’ ‘traitor to the race,’ the reds have added the opprobrium of ‘Uncle Tom.’
In their usual diabolically clever way, the reds took the name of a fine, sincere and beloved character made famous in the greatest indictment of chattel slavery and transformed him into a dirty, low, sneaky, treacherous, groveling, snivering coward.’
This the reds did in order to make the name ‘Uncle Tom’ the symbol of social, economic and political leprosy.
Today, the name ‘Uncle Tom’ among Negroes ranks with the term ‘McCarthyism’ generally, turning many ministers into moral cowards, many politicians into scared jackrabbits …
No man dare stand up and proclaim convictions counter to red agitation without running the certain risk of being pilloried …”

Manning Johnson continued:
“The top white communist leaders know that … differences can be used to play race against race, nationality against nationality, class against class, etc., to advance the cause of communism …
Under the guise of a campaign for Negro rights, set race against race in the cold-blooded struggle for power …
Social equality for the Negro is a major slogan of the communists.
They use it on the one hand to mislead the Negro American, and on the other hand to create anxieties and fears among white Americans to better exploit both racial groups …
The red propagandists distort the facts concerning racial differences for ulterior motives …

… Moscow’s Negro tools in the incitement of racial warfare place all the ills of the Negro at the door of the white leaders of America …
This tends to make the Negro:
(a) feel sorry for himself;
(b) blame others for his failures;
(c) ignore the countless opportunities around him;
(d) jealous of the progress of other racial groups;
(e) expect the white man to do everything for him;
(f) look for easy and quick solutions as a substitute for the harsh realities of competitive struggle to get ahead.
The result is a persecution complex — a warped belief that the white man’s prejudices, the white man’s system, the white man’s government is responsible for everything.
Such a belief is the way the reds plan it, for the next logical step is hate that can be used by the reds to accomplish their ends …”

Johnson stated:
“The media of public information is far from free of communists … who operate under the guise of liberalism.
They are ready at all times to do an effective smear job.
Among these red tools may be found editorial writers, columnists, news commentators and analysts, in the press, radio and television.
They go overboard in giving top news coverage to racial incidents, fomented by the leftists, and also those incidents that are interpreted so as to show ‘biased’ attitudes of whites against Negroes.
This is a propaganda hoax aimed, not at helping the Negro, but at casting America in a bad light in order to destroy it … widespread racial hate which the leftists are creating.
The energizing of race hate is an asset to the red cause … Thus all racial progress based upon understanding, goodwill, friendship and mutual cooperation, built up painfully over the years, is wiped out …
Too few Americans in our day have the courage … in the face of leftist opposition …
The words God, country and posterity have lost much of their substance and are becoming only a shadow in the hearts and minds of many Americans.”

Manning Johnson concluded with some words of hope:
“Great Negro Americans such as Booker T. Washington and George Washington Carver should serve both as an inspiration and a reminder to the present and successive generations of Negro Americans that they too ‘can make their lives sublime and in departing leave behind them footprints in the sands of time.’
The great surge of progress of the Negro since slavery can be largely traced to the work and efforts of these two men, their supporters, their emulators and their followers.
Theirs was a deep and abiding pride of race, a firm belief in the ability of their benighted people to rise above their past and eventually stand on an equal plane with all other races.
Moreover, equality was to them, not just a catchword — the prattle of fools — but a living thing to be achieved only by demonstrated ability …
We must try to bring America back to sanity.
And let us pray and work, that the misunderstanding, the bitterness, the hate, and the frustration and the tension that exists may disappear and that the Spirit of God, the Spirit of Truth, the Spirit of Charity may prevail again amongst our people.”

Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., stated on April 16, 1963:
“I have tried to stand between these two forces, saying that we need emulate neither the ‘do-nothingism’ of the complacent nor the hatred of the black nationalist.
For there is the more excellent way of love and non-violent protest.
I am grateful to God that, through the influence of the Negro church, the way of non-violence became an integral part of our struggle.”

Rev. King proclaimed August 28, 1963:
“I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed:
‘We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal.’
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slaveowners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood …

… I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character …
I have a dream … where little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls and walk together as sisters and brothers.”

The Morning Briefing: Democrats Remain Disturbingly Fond of Islamic Terrorists

BY STEPHEN KRUISER JAN 17, 2022 5:33 AM ET
 Share  Tweet

Top O’ the Briefing

Happy Monday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. If you ever get a second chance, use it to ask Paul McCartney why the heck he wouldn’t shut up at the end of “Hey Jude.”

We’re going to do a two-parter to kick off the week.

I’d like to begin by pointing out a couple of articles that Megan wrote for our Culture section last week, the first of which she did at my urging. While visiting with Stephen Green and me during our “Five O’Clock Somewhere” live chat on Thursday, Megan was lamenting what’s been done to the reboot of the estrogen-fest classic Sex and the City. Megan has such a way with words and her rant was so amusing and righteous that I suggested she write about it, which she did.

She was savaged in the comments by people who really didn’t get the point, which was to be expected. Megan then wrote an excellent follow-up post explaining that she’s not the only fan of the show who finds the reboot problematic, and showing just what the problems are.

She also added a little something for the haters, which I am more than happy to pass along:

I will not be shamed into silence because some of you think the show I liked was stupid or bad. Those of you in the comments section who ride high on your conservative horses, declaring that we should all withdraw from the culture you despise because principles or something, need to skip past this article — or stay and learn why withdrawing equals failure. The great Andrew Breitbart famously opined that politics is downstream from culture. It’s why he launched Big Hollywood: to report on all things related to culture and entertainment from a conservative viewpoint. Conservatives long ago abandoned popular culture to the left, and it was a huge mistake.

As an entertainer who has spent his adult life in the entertainment industry, I’ve been having variations of that conversation with my fellow conservatives — including Andrew Breitbart — for years. So I’m Team Megan on this one. Maybe I can bring some of the haters my way.

Happy Monday.

On to today’s main topic.

We were subjected last weekend to the zillionth Democrat production of “Pretend It’s Not Islamic Terrorism Even When a Five-Year-Old Can Tell It’s Islamic Terrorism.” It’s one of the longest-running productions of the “Things Democrats Get Wrong” theater.

Robert wrote a couple of posts about the insane aftermath of the synagogue hostage situation in Texas on Saturday. From the first one:

The jihadi who stormed the Congregation Beth Israel synagogue in Colleyville, Texas, and took hostages Saturday, demanding the release of convicted jihad terrorist Aafia Siddiqui, is dead, and the hostages are safe. And now comes the real work: whitewashing, downplaying, and ignoring outright what took place, because it doesn’t fit the establishment narrative.

FBI Special Agent in Charge Matt DeSarno got the ball rolling when he said, “We do believe from our engagement with this subject that he was singularly focused on one issue, uh, and it was not specifically related to the Jewish community, uh, but we’re continuing to work to find motive and, and we will continue on that path.”

Here was my original response to that news:

 

Seriously, the Democrats’ dance around the obvious is a national security problem. They have no problem labeling any American who disagrees with them politically as “terrorists,” however. Last September, we discussed here in the Briefing the fact that Democrats have been in denial for far too long about who the real terrorists are. It’s a real problem because it makes them ignore real problems.

There are recurring ploys that Jihadist apologists all over the world use to dance around the real reason that Islamic terrorists keep doing terrorist things.

More from Robert:

The jihadi who held hostages for hours in a Texas synagogue Saturday, demanding the release of convicted terrorist Aafia Siddiqui, has been identified as a 44-year-old “British national” from Blackburn, Lancashire named Malik Faisal Akram. That is, however, about all the information the FBI has so far released, as efforts to whitewash and deny Akram’s motives continue.

The Blackburn Muslim Community requested that people “avoid taking part in the sin of backbiting” in talking about the case, which apparently meant that they didn’t want to see Akram being called a jihad terrorist. Akram’s brother Gulbar, meanwhile, condemned the attack and apologized: “We would like to say that we as a family do not condone any of his actions and would like to sincerely apologize wholeheartedly to all the victims involved in the unfortunate incident.” However, Gulbar also added that Malik Faisal Akram had “mental health issues.”

Of course. The claim that jihadis are suffering from mental illness is an excuse that authorities frequently employ in order to avoid having to speak publicly about aspects of Islamic teaching that can incite violence. In San Francisco last November, a knife-wielding Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” charged at police, who shot him in self-defense. The establishment media insisted he was mentally ill. Also in November, a Muslim named Emad Al Swealmeen blew himself up in a taxicab outside a Liverpool hospital; police told the public that he suffered from periods of mental illness. In Germany, a Muslim migrant stabbed four random people, and although authorities acknowledged that he could be an “Islamic extremist,” he was placed not in a prison but in a psych ward.

The drooling idiot in the Oval Office joined the appeasement parade on Sunday. The Colleyville episode was so obvious that even the corrupt FBI began to come around a little by the end of the weekend.

We shouldn’t have to wait for the truth when the truth is plainly in front of us, however. It’s criminal when those tasked with enforcing the law are willing to sugarcoat evil in the name of wokeness.

Wokeness in law enforcement is a cancer that makes us unsafe.

Sadly, it’s also a cancer that the Democrats don’t want to cure.

Everything Isn’t Awful

30.) WHITE HOUSE DOSSIER

 

White House Dossier’s
Cut to the News
Cut through the clutter to today’s top news
January 17, 2022
Good morning Rick
Welcome to today’s top news.
Leading the News . . . 
Times Square subway shove victim volunteered as an advocate for the homeless . . . The straphanger randomly pushed to her death by an alleged unhinged vagrant was a senior manager at the top consulting firm Deloitte — and volunteered as an advocate for the homeless. Michelle Go — an MBA graduate of NYU’s prestigious Stern School of Business — lived on the Upper West Side and worked for Deloitte in strategy and operations and mergers and acquisitions, according to her LinkedIn Page. But the “wonderful,’’ “kind’’ 40-year-old woman was also known for her volunteerism over the past decade with the New York Junior League, where she helped those struggling to get and stay on their feet, including the homeless.
“Michelle’s focus populations were seniors, recovering homeless, immigrants, and under resourced and academically struggling elementary and middle school kids and their parents,’’ a Junior League rep told The Post in an e-mail Sunday. Go worked on one committee with “the goal of empowering adults and young adults on the path to independent success,’’ the league said. New York Post
Heartbreaking.
Politics                       
Image
Republicans prepare their wish list for filibuster-free Senate . . . Democrats may be paving an eventual path to stiffer ballot standards if they trigger the “nuclear option” to carve out a special exception to Senate filibuster rules to approve voting rights legislation. The next time Republicans take power in Washington, they will use the filibuster-free window to erase some Democratic changes and impose their own ideas about national election integrity, political professionals say. Without a Democratic filibuster, Republicans could force states to clean up voter rolls or ban the practice of ballot harvesting. Republicans promise it won’t stop there. A filibuster exception for Democrats’ priority issue would quickly expand to accommodate Republicans the next time their party takes control of the political levers in Washington. Washington Times
Florida looms large in Republican 2024 primary . . . Florida is emerging as the epicenter of the early fight for the GOP presidential nomination as speculation grows about the possibility of as many as four Republicans from the Sunshine State pursuing the party’s nod in 2024. Among the Floridians seen as potential White House hopefuls are Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Rick Scott (R-Fla.), and, of course, former President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly hinted at a 2024 comeback bid. The densely packed field of Floridians weighing campaigns for the White House raises the potential for a political free-for-all that could pit some of the state’s most prominent Republicans against one another. But it also underscores the extent to which the Sunshine State has become a hub for the conservative movement in recent years.
“You’re almost guaranteed that a Floridian is going to be the nominee in 2024,” said Ford O’Connell, a Florida-based Republican strategist and former congressional candidate. The Hill
Stalled in Congress, Biden ready to do police reform by fiat . . . President Biden needs to put some points on the board. All his recent initiatives have failed. So, time for an end-run around Congress. It’s not clear what he’s planning. But it probably involves policing by psychiatrists and sociologists. According to NBC News: President Joe Biden is planning to sign executive actions on police reform as early as this month, three people familiar with the plans said, as his administration seeks to unilaterally jumpstart an issue that’s a top priority for a key constituency. The executive actions would follow Biden’s uphill battle to advance voting rights legislation, and could coincide with a similar effort by some Democratic lawmakers to revive the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, which stalled on Capitol Hill after failed attempts to craft a bipartisan measure. White House Dossier
Recent breakthroughs in 2020 election probes undercut narrative that legal avenues are exhausted . . . Mounting evidence of irregularities and rigged rules has emerged through state and local investigations, court decisions, financial disclosure, and audits in the 14 months since the election. More than a year after the disputed 2020 presidential election, a series of legal breakthroughs in the investigation of the electoral process in decisive swing states — including official inquiries, court rulings, audits and finial disclosures — has unfolded in rapid succession recently, even as election integrity opponents continue to insist that all legal avenues for questioning the outcome have long since been exhausted. Interviewing former Trump senior economic advisor Peter Navarro about the election earlier this month, MSNBC TV host Ari Melber argued that the “outcome was established by independent secretaries of state, by the voters of those states, and legal remedies had been exhausted with the Supreme Court never even taking, let alone siding with, any of the claims that you just referred to.” Just the News
Democrats see good chance of Garland prosecuting Trump . . . Senate Democrats believe there is a good chance the Department of Justice will prosecute former President Trump for trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election and inciting the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, which would have major political reverberations ahead of the 2024 presidential election. Democratic lawmakers say they don’t have any inside information on what might happen and describe Attorney General Merrick Garland as someone who would make sure to run any investigation strictly “by the book.”   But they also say the fact that Garland has provided little indication about whether or not the Department of Justice has its prosecutorial sights set on Trump doesn’t necessarily mean the former president isn’t likely to be charged.   Given the weight of public evidence, Democratic lawmakers think Trump committed federal crimes. The Hill
‘Great unifier’ Biden tells half the country to go to hell . . . President Biden went down to Georgia on Tuesday, following a trail blazed by the devil.  Bemoaning Georgia’s new election law, which is less strict than that of Mr. Biden’s Delaware or Elizabeth Warren’s Massachusetts, Mr. Biden played a tune hatched in hell, the kind of stuff that stokes a civil war, not healing. Mr. Biden, who earlier called “white nationalists” the greatest security threat facing America, went full demagogue at an Atlanta college: “I will defend your right to vote and our democracy against all enemies foreign and, yes, domestic.” The “great unifier,” who once warned Black Americans that Republicans were “gonna put y’all back in chains,” invoked America’s actual Civil War to demonize his opponents, saying, “I ask every elected official in America, how do you want to be remembered? Do you want to be on the side of Dr. King or George Wallace? Do you want to be on the side of John Lewis or Bull Connor? Do you want to be on the side of Abraham Lincoln or Jefferson Davis?” George Wallace, Bull Connor and Jefferson Davis were all Democrats. Republicans voted in higher percentages in Congress than Democrats for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. No matter. Mr. Biden’s ace in the hole is a rotten, leftist-dominated education system that specializes in systemic ignorance, especially about American history. He counts on the college-educated media to be reflexively socialist and to bury inconvenient facts. Washington Times
National Security

Texas synagogue hostage crisis is a terrorism-related matter,’ FBI says . . . Biden calls Texas synagogue hostage an ‘act of terror’. Finally. Malik Faisal Akram, the British national who was killed Saturday night after allegedly taking four people hostage inside a Texas synagogue, spoke “repeatedly” about a convicted terrorist during negotiations with law enforcement, according to an FBI statement obtained by Fox News. The statement, which was released late Sunday, does not identify the terrorist serving an 86-year prison sentence in the U.S. on terrorism charges, but may shed new light on a possible motive. Fox News
‘Lady Al Qaeda’ Blamed Jews for Her Conviction . . . Her Allies Can’t Figure Why A Gunman Attacked Synagogue In Her Name. The Council on American Islamic Relations denied any connection between the terror attack at a Texas synagogue and its campaign to free imprisoned terrorist Aafia Siddiqui, one day after a fanatical gunman took Jewish congregants hostage to demand Siddiqui’s release. CAIR has been a longtime advocate for clemency for Siddiqui, a terror operative who was dubbed “Lady al Qaeda” and sentenced to 86 years in prison in 2010 for trying to gun down U.S. FBI and military officials.

Two Arrested in UK in Connection With Texas Synagogue Hostage-Taker . . . Two teenagers have been arrested in the United Kingdom, in connection with a British national who took four hostages at a Texas Synagogue on Saturday, police have said. “As part of the ongoing investigation into the attack that took place at a Synagogue in Texas on 15 January 2022, Officers from the Counter Terror Policing North West have made two arrests in relation to the incident,” a counter-terrorism police unit of the Greater Manchester Police said on Sunday. “Two teenagers were detained in South Manchester this evening,” the police added in the statement posted on Twitter. “They remain in custody for questioning.” Epoch Times
Putin Yanks Biden’s Chain As He Gages NATO’s Reaction To a Potential Strike on Ukraine . . . Neither side expected any breakthroughs going into the meetings in Europe. As Biden’s varsity team was trying to squeeze some diplomatic victories out of a doomed engagement, Moscow operatives had a completely different agenda. The Russians already knew that their proposal was a no-go for Washington. For Moscow, the whole encounter with the Americans in Europe was an intelligence gathering operation designed to assess whether the US President was going to stick to his promise that he gave to Putin last month — not to intervene on behalf of Ukraine, even if Russia invades. You see, espionage is not all about gathering secrets, although the Russians are excellent at that too. NATO can barely keep up with the expulsions of Putin’s spies from Brussels. The most valuable secret about your opponent is what we call in the intelligence business “atmospherics” intelligence, or your “read” of the mood of your adversary, especially when planning a strike. This sort of “human-terrain mapping” can only be gathered on the ground, face to face with the enemy. Townhall
Time for NATO to Close Its Door . . . The Alliance Is Too Big—and Too Provocative—for Its Own Good. The NATO alliance is ill suited to twenty-first-century Europe. This is not because Russian President Vladimir Putin says it is or because Putin is trying to use the threat of a wider war in Ukraine to force neutrality on that country and to halt the alliance’s expansion. Rather, it is because NATO suffers from a severe design flaw: extending deep into the cauldron of eastern European geopolitics, it is too large, too poorly defined, and too provocative for its own good. Closing NATO’s open door will not resolve Washington’s problems with Russia. These problems go far beyond the alliance. But ending NATO expansion would be an act of self-defense for the alliance itself, giving it the gifts that greater limitation and greater clarity confer.  Foreign Affairs
Deterring Russia requires a capable bridge tanker and Congressional support . . . Analysis. By General Phil Breedlove. Russia is building up forces along its border with Ukraine, and NATO is watching with rising alarm. The current crisis is the latest in a long line of increasingly aggressive Russian actions against its neighbors. From the Arctic Circle to the Black Sea, NATO allies and partners have faced everything from grey-zone tactics to airborne harassment to outright war, all directed from Moscow. As long as this pattern continues, NATO must remain vigilant — to protect the independence of its allies and partners, and to deter Putin’s adventurism. A key element of U.S. deterrence strategy must be to provide NATO air power with sufficient legs — in the form of a modern, capable, interoperable tanker force. The United States remains mired in the past, making do with legacy tankers like the Eisenhower-vintage KC-135, based on the old 707 commercial jetliner, which remain the backbone of the tanker fleet. The U.S. Air Force endures significant delays in delivery of the new KC-46 Pegasus due to quality issues. This crossroads faced by the U.S. Air Force — an aging tanker fleet combined with delays from an unproven design — calls for an alternative solution. Military Times
General Breedlove is a retired four-star general of US Air Force and a former NATO supreme commander in Europe. I had the honor of briefing him a few times, including during of the NATO summits in Brussels. I am also honored that Gen. B. endorsed my book, Putin’s Playbook: Russia’s Secret Plan to Defeat America.

Former Ukrainian president lands in Kyiv to face treason case . . . Ukraine’s former President Petro Poroshenko landed in Kyiv on Monday to face treason charges in a case he says was trumped up by allies of his successor, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. Poroshenko’s return sets up a showdown with Zelenskiy’s government in what critics say is an ill-judged distraction at a time when Ukraine is bracing for a possible Russian military offensive and appealing to Western allies for support. Western diplomats called for political unity in Ukraine ahead of Poroshenko’s arrival. Poroshenko is being investigated for alleged treason linked to the financing of Russian-backed separatist fighters through illegal coal sales while in office in 2014-15. His party accused Zelenskiy of a reckless attempt to silence political opposition. Reuters
Remember how the Obama Administration and all the “experts” were enthralled with Poroshenko? Ukraine is one of the most corrupt countries in the world, on par with Russia. Sending American men and women in uniform to fight for Ukraine with nuclear Russia would be madness.
Regretfully, 30-years of inept policies pursued by the “experts,” coupled with the erosion of US defense posture and lack of viable security strategy, left America without a credible deterrent. In every single US-RUS wargame that I was part of, Blue suffered significant losses and still was unable to win the conflict with Red.
This is why I am a firm advocate for permanent readiness for war, as a deterrent, but not war itself. With Russia, over Ukraine.
North Korea’s Booming Hacking Industry Stole $400M in Cryptocurrency Last Year . . .
North Korean hackers stole $400 million worth of cryptocurrency last year, “launching at least seven attacks on cryptocurrency platforms,” new research has found. The findings released by Chainalysis, a software company that monitors cryptocurrency, found that the attacks targeted “primarily investment firms and centralized exchanges.” The hackers “made use of phishing lures, code exploits, malware, and advanced social engineering to siphon funds out of these organizations’ internet-connected ‘hot’ wallets into DPRK-controlled addresses,” Chainalysis wrote on Thursday. “Once North Korea gained custody of the funds, they began a careful laundering process to cover up and cash out.” Newsweek
A lot of Arctic infrastructure is threatened by rising temperatures . . . Thawing permafrost is a particularly unpredictable environment on which to build. As its ice content changes and the volume of liquid water increases, the soil can experience vertical movements of up to 40cm a year and its capacity to bear weight drops dramatically. This can lead to landslides, to the subsidence of individual buildings, and to the appearance of cracks and deformities in long, linear structures such as roads and pipelines. Russia will be particularly badly hit. North America’s permafrost, which makes up half of Canada’s territory and more than three-quarters of Alaska’s, tends to be more sparsely populated than Russia’s, with human impact dominated by roads, airstrips and oil pipelines. Nonetheless, degradation is still an issue. Authorities in the Northwest Territories, one of Canada’s largest and most northerly regions, calculate that permafrost-induced damage amounts, even today, to $41m a year, which is about $900 per resident. Economist

Supreme Court vaccine rulings fail to recognize God-given rights . . . Opinion. By Cheryl K. Chumley. The U.S. Supreme Court, in a moment of supreme lucidity, slapped down Joe Biden’s presidential attempt to use a federal agency to bend private companies’ to his executive will — that is, to use OSHA as a COVID-19 vaccine mandate enforcer for millions of privately employed Americans. The ruling, reeling in the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, is cause for cheer. But the rest of the Supreme Court’s determinations left plenty of wiggle room for the tyrants of the left to continue their tyrannical, COVID-19-tied clamps on individual liberties. And that’s cause for a wake-up call and rousing to patriots for more, bigger and more intense cultural and legal fights. Washington Times
18 More Federal Agencies Eye Making Vaccine Religious-Objector Lists . . . This week, we revealed that an obscure federal agency plans to keep lists of the “personal religious information” employees who had religious objections to the federal employee vaccine mandate. As it turns out, the little-known Pre-trial Services Agency for the District of Columbia isn’t the only federal agency involved. As we feared, a whole-of-government effort looks to be underway. A little digging at the Federal Register revealed that there are at least 19 total federal agencies—including five cabinet level agencies—that have created or proposed to create these tracking lists for religious-exemption requests from their employees.
The list includes the Department of Justice, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Transportation, and the Department of the Treasury, to name only a few.
As the nation’s largest employer, with over four million civilian and military employees, the federal government has received tens of thousands of religious exemption requests. It now appears that an increasing number of federal agencies are keeping and preserving those individuals’ names, religious information, personally identifying information, and other data stored in lists across multiple government agencies.  Why? Daily Signal

Supply Chain Woes Could Worsen as China Imposes New Covid Lockdowns . . . Companies are bracing for another round of potentially debilitating supply chain disruptions as China, home to about a third of global manufacturing, imposes sweeping lockdowns in an attempt to keep the Omicron variant at bay. The measures have already confined tens of millions of people to their homes in several Chinese cities and contributed to a suspension of connecting flights through Hong Kong from much of the world for the next month. At least 20 million people, or about 1.5 percent of China’s population, are in lockdown, mostly in the city of Xi’an in western China and in Henan Province in north-central China. The country’s zero-tolerance policy has manufacturers — already on edge from spending the past two years dealing with crippling supply chain woes — worried about another round of shutdowns at Chinese factories and ports. New York Times
The U.S. government is boycotting the Beijing Olympics over human rights, not the corporate world . . . Late last year, human rights activists stood outside the White House for 57 hours urging the United States to stage a diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Olympics. A few weeks later, they got their wish. For two years, campaigners representing the people of Hong Kong, Tibet and China’s Xinjiang region have been pushing U.S. and Western companies to either drop their sponsorships and broadcasts of the Games, which start Feb. 4, or to publicly condemn the repression Chinese authorities have carried out in those regions. But activists say the risk of offending the rulers of the world’s second-biggest economy has caused the companies to stick with their deals and stay mum on China’s human rights abuses, despite a U.S. State Department determination that China is committing genocide against the Uyghur minority. Washington Post

Thousands of US flights canceled, thousands more delayed as winter storm wallops southeast . . . A dangerous winter storm slammed the southeast U.S. over the weekend, canceling and delaying thousands of flights. On Sunday alone, nearly 5,700 flights had been delayed while more than 4,700 flights had been canceled, according to the latest data from FlightAware.com.
Among the hardest hit were American Airlines, Southwest, and Delta. According to the data, American had some 630 flights canceled, and more than 300 delayed. Southwest had more than 300 flights canceled and more than 360 flights delayed. Delta had 240 flights canceled about the same number of delayed flights. Fox News
Martin Luther King’s dream is alive but liberal policies are destroying Black communities . . .
Opinion. By Kendall Qualls. What has happened to the American Black family is not the dream King had and is nothing short of cultural genocide. If the American Black family was a spotted owl or a gray wolf, it would be on the endangered species list. Instead of refocusing on cultural roots of faith, family and education that sustained the Black family during the most difficult times in our country’s history, we now blame racial disparities on white privilege and systemic racism.  We know the damaging affects fatherless homes to children after seeing the steep decline of two-parents in the Black community for five decades: 85 percent of children with behavioral disorders; 90 percent of homeless and runaways; young boys and girls suffer higher rates of physical and sexual abuse, and list continues. Fox News
Self-Defense

Self-defense is no longer optional — it’s your obligation to yourself and your family . . . Crime has sky-rocketed, courtesy of the dumb leftist “defund the police” policies. Despite the stupid claim by Joe Biden and his ilk that gun control will eliminate crime, violence has increased dramatically recently. Criminals are finding the most devious ways to murder innocent civilians, even without using any weapons. An innocent lady was pushed to her death onto the tracks in front of an approaching subway train in New York City. This could’ve been me or any of my family members, living in NYC. No, psychologists are not going to solve the crime problem. It’s not their job and they are not equipped to do it. It’s time that we all accept this horrible reality and become responsible for our own safety.
Train to defend yourself with my friend and former colleague, John Murphy. FPF Training’s Street Encounter Skills and Tactics course, developed by John, enables citizens to defend themselves across a spectrum of likely encounters, ranging from social conflict to criminal interaction. The course begins with a five hour view ahead on YouTube, and training day one  begins with acquiring hard and soft skills that are blended together to provide a holistic approach to self-defense.  Training day two culminates with a series of scenarios and exercises to ensure that students leave the class having proven that their confidence is based in demonstrated competence.

THE MORNING DISPATCH

The Morning Dispatch: MLK in Montgomery

“The only normalcy that we will settle for is the normalcy that allows judgment to run down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream.”

The Dispatch Staff 6 min ago

Happy Monday! Only two more days until we can all place orders for four “free” COVID-19 rapid tests, which, once ordered, will ship after an additional 7 to 12 days. Just in time for the arrival of the Omicron wave!

Quick Hits: Today’s Top Stories

  • Up to 70 Ukrainian government websites were targeted in a cyberattack over the weekend. The websites’ functionality and data were reportedly not compromised, but ominous messages—“be afraid and wait for the worst”—were posted on homepages. Russia has denied responsibility for the hack, but Ukrainian officials believe Russian forces were behind it and U.S. national security advisor Jake Sullivan said yesterday it “would not surprise” him if Russia was the perpetrator. Russia has reportedly been moving additional tanks, rocket launchers, and other military equipment toward its border with Ukraine over the past week.
  • Russia’s Federal Security Service said Friday—and an anonymous Biden administration official confirmed—that Russia had arrested several members of the REvil hacking group believed to be behind many of last year’s ransomware attacks on American companies, including the Colonial Pipeline.
  • North Korea on Friday conducted its third and fourth missile tests of recent weeks, with the country’s state media asserting over the weekend its military had successfully launched two ballistic missiles from a train car and hit a target in the ocean.
  • The Census Bureau reported Friday that U.S. retail sales fell an estimated 1.9 percent from November to December, worse than economists’ projected 0.1 percent decline and a further sign that Americans moved much of their holiday shopping to earlier in the year.
  • President Biden on Friday announced he is nominating Sarah Bloom Raskin, Lisa Cook, and Philip Jefferson to the Federal Reserve Board, with Raskin also being nominated to serve as the Board’s vice chair for supervision. All three are expected to face Republican resistance during the confirmation process.
  • The Centers for Disease Control updated its masking guidance on Friday to highlight the added protection against COVID-19 transmission provided by N95 masks over cloth ones, recommending Americans “wear the most protective mask you can that fits well and that you will wear consistently.”
  • A rabbi and three other people who were taken hostage at a synagogue near Dallas, Texas on Saturday were freed after an hours-long standoff involving the FBI. Law enforcement identified the now-dead perpetrator on Sunday as a 44-year-old British national, Malik Faisal Akram, who was reportedly motivated by the U.S. imprisonment of Aafia Siddiqui, a Pakistani woman who was given an 86-year sentence on terrorism charges in 2010. British authorities arrested two young men Sunday in connection with the attack.
  • Rep. John Katko of New York announced Friday he will not run for a fifth term in 2022, becoming the sixth House Republican this cycle to retire from public office and the third of the ten House Republicans who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump last January.

‘We Ain’t Goin’ Let Nobody Turn Us Around’

(Photo by Stephen F. Somerstein/Getty Images.)

In lieu of a main item today, please read this excerpt from “Our God is Marching On,” a speech delivered by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in Montgomery, Alabama just weeks after hundreds of nonviolent protesters were violently beaten by state troopers while walking across the Edmund Pettus Bridge.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 that legally prohibited race-based discrimination had been signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson months earlier, but black would-be voters continued to be disenfranchised at staggering rates in much of the South, where poll taxes, literacy tests, white-only primaries, and overt intimidation had guarded the ballot box for decades. In 1964, for example, just 6.7 percent of eligible black voters in Mississippi were actually registered to vote, according to the United States Commission on Civil Rights.

The “Bloody Sunday” march—and King’s speech—played a key role in building momentum for the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which Johnson signed into law that August. By 1967, nearly 60 percent of eligible black voters in Mississippi were registered to vote. In November 2020, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation, that percentage had risen to 83, compared to 79 percent of eligible white voters in the state.

They told us we wouldn’t get here. And there were those who said that we would get here only over their dead bodies, but all the world today knows that we are here and we are standing before the forces of power in the state of Alabama saying, “We ain’t goin’ let nobody turn us around.”

Now it is not an accident that one of the great marches of American history should terminate in Montgomery, Alabama. Just ten years ago, in this very city, a new philosophy was born of the Negro struggle. Montgomery was the first city in the South in which the entire Negro community united and squarely faced its age-old oppressors. Out of this struggle, more than bus [de]segregation was won; a new idea, more powerful than guns or clubs was born. Negroes took it and carried it across the South in epic battles that electrified the nation and the world.

Yet, strangely, the climactic conflicts always were fought and won on Alabama soil. After Montgomery’s, heroic confrontations loomed up in Mississippi, Arkansas, Georgia, and elsewhere. But not until the colossus of segregation was challenged in Birmingham did the conscience of America begin to bleed. White America was profoundly aroused by Birmingham because it witnessed the whole community of Negroes facing terror and brutality with majestic scorn and heroic courage. And from the wells of this democratic spirit, the nation finally forced Congress to write legislation in the hope that it would eradicate the stain of Birmingham. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 gave Negroes some part of their rightful dignity, but without the vote it was dignity without strength.

Once more the method of nonviolent resistance was unsheathed from its scabbard, and once again an entire community was mobilized to confront the adversary. And again the brutality of a dying order shrieks across the land. Yet, Selma, Alabama, became a shining moment in the conscience of man. If the worst in American life lurked in its dark streets, the best of American instincts arose passionately from across the nation to overcome it. There never was a moment in American history more honorable and more inspiring than the pilgrimage of clergymen and laymen of every race and faith pouring into Selma to face danger at the side of its embattled Negroes.

The confrontation of good and evil compressed in the tiny community of Selma generated the massive power to turn the whole nation to a new course. A president born in the South had the sensitivity to feel the will of the country, and in an address that will live in history as one of the most passionate pleas for human rights ever made by a president of our nation, he pledged the might of the federal government to cast off the centuries-old blight. President Johnson rightly praised the courage of the Negro for awakening the conscience of the nation.

On our part we must pay our profound respects to the white Americans who cherish their democratic traditions over the ugly customs and privileges of generations and come forth boldly to join hands with us. From Montgomery to Birmingham, from Birmingham to Selma, from Selma back to Montgomery, a trail wound in a circle long and often bloody, yet it has become a highway up from darkness. Alabama has tried to nurture and defend evil, but evil is choking to death in the dusty roads and streets of this state. So I stand before you this afternoon with the conviction that segregation is on its deathbed in Alabama, and the only thing uncertain about it is how costly the segregationists and Wallace will make the funeral.

…

My people, my people, listen. The battle is in our hands. The battle is in our hands in Mississippi and Alabama and all over the United States. I know there is a cry today in Alabama, we see it in numerous editorials: “When will Martin Luther King, SCLC, SNCC, and all of these civil rights agitators and all of the white clergymen and labor leaders and students and others get out of our community and let Alabama return to normalcy?”

But I have a message that I would like to leave with Alabama this evening. That is exactly what we don’t want, and we will not allow it to happen, for we know that it was normalcy in Marion that led to the brutal murder of Jimmy Lee Jackson. It was normalcy in Birmingham that led to the murder on Sunday morning of four beautiful, unoffending, innocent girls. It was normalcy on Highway 80 that led state troopers to use tear gas and horses and billy clubs against unarmed human beings who were simply marching for justice. It was normalcy by a cafe in Selma, Alabama, that led to the brutal beating of Reverend James Reeb.

It is normalcy all over our country which leaves the Negro perishing on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of vast ocean of material prosperity. It is normalcy all over Alabama that prevents the Negro from becoming a registered voter. No, we will not allow Alabama to return to normalcy.

The only normalcy that we will settle for is the normalcy that recognizes the dignity and worth of all of God’s children. The only normalcy that we will settle for is the normalcy that allows judgment to run down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream. The only normalcy that we will settle for is the normalcy of brotherhood, the normalcy of true peace, the normalcy of justice.

Worth Your Time

  • In a piece for National Review, Michael Brendan Dougherty argues that, for many of Donald Trump’s earliest supporters, the shine has come off. “While it may be difficult or painful to remember in the year 2022, when Donald Trump came down the escalator to announce his run for president in 2015, he was an issue-driven candidate,” Dougherty writes, referring to Trump’s opposition to immigration, interventionism, and entitlement reform. “When he first ran for president, Trump genuinely promised to do things that voters wanted, to make the country great, proud, and prosperous again. Now, he is essentially asking Republicans to do something for him, to restore his tarnished honor and make credible his belief in his own victory. All that is left of Trumpism are Trump’s grievances and aspirations. This is not an agenda that will win him high office, help his party, or accomplish anything for his countrymen.”
  • The Biden and Obama administrations are made up of mostly the same people, but Ezra Klein believes the situations in which the two White Houses found themselves could not be more different. “The Obama administration was bedeviled by crises of demand. The Biden administration is struggling with crises of supply,” he writes in his latest essay, arguing the trillions of dollars in congressional pandemic relief staved off a 2009-style recession but brought about a new slate of problems. “The conversations I have with the Biden administration’s economists are very different from the conversations I had with the Obama administration’s economists, even when they’re the same people. Now the discussion is all about what the economy can produce and how fast it can be shipped. They need companies to make more goods and make them faster. They need more chips so there can be more cars and computers. They need ports to clear more shipments and Pfizer to make more antiviral pills and shipping companies to hire more truckers and schools to upgrade their ventilation systems.”
  • A few weeks back, we wrote to you about San Francisco Mayor London Breed’s about-face on public safety, saying the city needed to be “less tolerant of all the bullsh**” and crack down on crime. Her new stance has sparked plenty of pushback from progressives, but she isn’t backing down yet—and sat down with Kara Swisher to explain why. “I am really sick and tired of people who are sadly out there in the Tenderloin breaking the laws and making life miserable for the people who live and work there,” Breed said. “And that’s what I mean. It’s really at a point where we have to respond, and we have to hold people accountable for the crimes that they commit. We have an obligation as a city to keep people safe. And right now, we are not doing that with the residents and the people who work in the Tenderloin.”

  • As David notes in his Sunday French Press, men tend to make up the overwhelming majority of CEOs, but men are also overdosing on opioids, committing suicide, and losing close friends at a much higher rate than women. “Men can do very, very well in the United States of America, disproportionately so,” he writes. “But men also can do very, very poorly—again, disproportionately so.”

Let Us Know

Martin Luther King, Jr. was, of course, not always as universally admired as he is now. In 1965—the year he delivered the above speech—45 percent of the country had a positive impression of him, and 45 percent a negative one.

Is there a person—or idea—that is contentious now, but that you believe will have near-unanimous support in a few decades?

“…There is something that I must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force. The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny.

And they have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom. We cannot walk alone. And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back.”

When reading Martin Luther King Jr’s “I Have a Dream” speech it’s hard not to read it through the lens of today’s politics. However, it’s worth reading the entire speech or watching it today and appreciate that moment in history.

Biden and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Week
From Chris Barron at Human Events:

“The same day that Biden was greeted with the worst polling of his Presidency, the President decides to trek up to the Capitol to try to twist arms in his effort to scrap the filibuster. Before Biden even shows up, a member of his own party – Senator Kyrsten Sinema went to the floor of the Senate and made it clear she would not participate in any effort to weaken the filibuster. Single-handily blowing up Biden’s efforts before he even arrived.

Amazingly enough, Sinema’s speech wasn’t the worst thing to happen to the President on Thursday. After watching his filibuster scheme go down in flames, Biden got word that the US Supreme Court, by a 6 to 3 majority, had also torpedoed his efforts to use executive authority to force companies with over 100 employees to require vaccination as a condition of employment. 

If you thought the week couldn’t get any worse for Biden, along comes a flood of news stories suggesting that Hillary and Bill Clinton are looking to get back into politics. 

Friday couldn’t come fast enough for the Biden administration. Unfortunately for them, the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week is unlikely to end any time soon.” 

Texas or Bust: A Series on Preparing to Make a Red State Redder
It’s happening! I’ll be moving by myself from the DC metro area to central Texas. Over the next couple months, I hope to give BRIGHT readers some tips on moving and document the process for others contemplating a similar situation. It’s officially real because I have signed a lease! I had been looking at a house for a couple weeks, but decided to wait until the beginning of the year to really make a move. On Saturday, January 8, I was feeling antsy about moving forward without seeing it in person, so I texted a friend about 30 miles away and he and his wife graciously went to the house and showed me around via Zoom. It was even better than I had hoped thanks to a bonus room that wasn’t listed and I moved fast to secure it. I am also convinced by the two weeks in a row with snow in the area that it’s God’s way of telling me moving to Texas is a good decision for this former Floridian.

I’ve been concentrating on decluttering and not bringing anything I don’t need into the house. While a great help, I didn’t feel like much was getting done. I was getting rid of clothes, kitchen gadgets, and other things here and there, but didn’t feel less overwhelmed by a cross-country move. A list and spreadsheet lover, I’ve now put each room and closet into a spreadsheet so I can track progress in Decluttered, Packed, Cleaned. After getting through 1-2 categories in a few rooms, I think it will give me a better sense of a realistic move date. Until then, I’m pinching pennies while being a real estate mogul with two homes 🤣

What I’m Reading This Week
I’m in the mood for chick-lit. For obvious reasons, the title stood out to me — The Next Best Thing by Jennifer Weiner. From the description:

“At 23, Ruth Saunders headed west with her 70-year-old grandma in tow, hoping to be hired as a television writer. Four years later, she’s hit the jackpot when she gets The Call: the sitcom she wrote, The Next Big Thing, has gotten the green light, and Ruthie’s going to be the show-runner. But her dreams of Hollywood happiness are threatened by demanding actors, number-crunching executives, an unrequited crush on a boss, and her grandmother’s impending nuptials. 

Set against the fascinating backdrop of Los Angeles show-business culture, with an insider’s ear and eye for writer’s rooms, bad behavior backstage, and set politics, Jennifer Weiner’s new novel is a rollicking ride on the Hollywood rollercoaster and a heartfelt story about what it’s like for a young woman to love, and lose, in the land where dreams come true.”

Hello

Here’s what you need to know.

The Texas synagogue hostage-taker was a British citizen, Yemen’s Houthis claim an attack on the United Arab Emirates, and Credit Suisse’s chairman quits over COVID breaches

Today’s biggest stories

An eruption occurs at the underwater volcano Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai off Tonga, January 14, 2022

WORLD

Australia and New Zealand sent surveillance flights to assess damage in Tonga, isolated from the rest of the world after the eruption of a volcano that triggered a tsunami and blanketed the Pacific island with ash. Scientists are struggling to monitor the volcano after the explosion destroyed its sea-level crater and drowned its mass, obscuring it from satellites.

Three fuel trucks exploded, killing three people, and a fire broke out near Abu Dhabi airport in what Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi group said was an attack deep inside the United Arab Emirates. The Houthi movement is battling a Saudi-led coalition that includes the UAE.

North Korea fired two suspected short-range ballistic missiles from an airport in its capital city of Pyongyang, South Korea’s military reported, the fourth test this month to demonstrate its expanding missile arsenal.

Influenza has returned to Europe at a faster-than-expected rate this winter after almost disappearing last year, raising concerns about a prolonged ‘twindemic’ with COVID-19 amid some doubts about the effectiveness of flu vaccines.

Mainland China’s birth rate dropped to a record low in 2021, data showed, extending a downward trend that led Beijing last year to begin allowing couples to have up to three children.

U.S.


Descendants of the slain civil rights icon Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. and their supporters plan to march on Washington to urge President Joe Biden and his fellow Democrats to push harder to pass a bill protecting voting rights.

A gunman who took four people hostage at a Dallas-area synagogue and was himself killed as federal agents stormed the temple was identified as a British citizen, while police in England said they had detained two teenagers for questioning in the investigation.

A major winter storm slammed much of the eastern United States with snow, ice and high winds, causing widespread travel disruptions and power outages on a holiday weekend.

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said it had cleared an estimated 45% of the U.S. commercial airplane fleet to perform low-visibility landings at many airports where 5G C-band will be deployed starting Wednesday.

Retired Brigadier General Charles McGee, part of the pioneering all-Black Tuskegee Airmen during World War Two and one of its most decorated pilots, has died at the age of 102.

BUSINESS

The global job market will taker longer to recover than previously thought, with unemployment levels set to remain above pre-COVID-19 levels until at least 2023 due to uncertainty about the pandemic’s course and duration, the International Labour Organization said.

China’s economy rebounded in 2021 with its best growth in a decade helped by robust exports but there are signs momentum is slowing on weakening consumption and a property downturn, pointing to the need for more policy support.

Credit Suisse will stick to its strategic overhaul despite the abrupt departure of its mastermind Antonio Horta-Osorio following an internal probe into his personal conduct, including breaches of COVID-19 rules, the embattled bank’s new chairman said. Spies, lies and the chairman’s exit – we look at Credit Suisse’s scandals.

Unilever signaled it would pursue a deal for GlaxoSmithKline’s consumer healthcare business, calling it a “strong strategic fit” after its $68 billion offer was rebuffed.

A solid performance by Renault’s higher-value brands helped soften an overall drop in annual worldwide group sales at the French carmaker, as its focus on more profitable models pays off.

Vaccinated or unvaccinated — no one deserves to die

by Zach Stafford

When a prominent California public official who was opposed to vaccine mandates died from Covid this month, some people cheered. Even a newspaper columnist argued that there is some value in mocking her death. But Zach Stafford, who fielded many questions about his uncle’s vaccination status as he headed to his funeral, objects to the idea that some people deserve to die.

“When I sat masked at my uncle’s funeral, I didn’t wish harm or death on anybody I saw unmasked or anybody I knew to be unvaccinated,” Stafford writes. “Not even those who may be online spreading misinformation about the vaccine.” Many of them, he says, are victims of misinformation that has gone unchecked.

Morning Rundown
Texas rabbi ‘grateful to be alive’ as synagogue hostage-taking suspect ID’d: A Texas rabbi taken hostage with three members of his congregation by an armed man demanding the release of a convicted terrorist, posted a message on social media Sunday saying he is “grateful to be alive.” “I am thankful and filled with appreciation for all of the vigils,” Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker said in a Facebook post. “I am grateful that we made it out.” Cytron-Walker was leading Shabbat services at the Congregation Beth Israel in the Dallas-Fort Worth suburb of Colleyville, Texas, on Saturday when a man interrupted the service and allegedly claimed he had planted bombs in the synagogue, law enforcement officials said. After a standoff that lasted 10 hours, the hostages were saved when an elite FBI hostage rescue team breached the temple. The suspect, who was identified Sunday as Malik Faisal Akram, a 44-year-old British citizen, died in the incident, according to Matthew DeSarno, the special agent in charge of the bureau’s Dallas field office. Authorities have declined to publicly confirm the demands made by Akram, but multiple law enforcement sources told ABC News he was demanding the release of convicted terrorist Aafia Siddiqui, who is incarcerated at Carswell Air Force Base near Fort Worth. Following the incident on Saturday, police departments in a number of American cities, including New York and Los Angeles, said they were stepping up patrols at synagogues and other locations associated with the Jewish community out of caution.
CDC warns loosely woven cloth masks are ‘least protective’ against COVID-19: If you’re still wearing cloth masks, you might want to opt for KN95 or N95 respirators. In updated online guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday, the agency said “wearing a highly protective mask or respirator may be most important for higher risk situations, or by some people at increased risk for severe disease.” The updated guidance comes after weeks of health experts urging Americans to upgrade their masks in the face of omicron, warning that cloth masks are not effective enough at stopping the highly transmissible variant from spreading. But the CDC recommendation stops short of calling on Americans to choose one mask over the other, maintaining that any mask is better than no mask. Meanwhile, the White House will launch a new website on Wednesday to distribute 500 million free at-home rapid tests that’ll be mailed to Americans’ doorsteps, senior administration officials said. People will be able to order four tests per household.
Djokovic leaves Australia after losing appeal to reinstate visa: Novak Djokovic left Australia Sunday after three federal judges upheld the decision to revoke his visa for the second time. Australian Immigration Minister Alex Hawke used his ministerial powers to cancel Djokovic’s visa again after another Australian court reinstated the 34-year-old’s visa, which had been granted with a medical exemption to Australia’s COVID-19 vaccine requirements. The decision came after more than a week in limbo for the Serbian tennis star, who had been waiting for the court’s final say on whether he would be allowed to stay to launch his title-defending bid at the Australian Open today. The judges’ unanimous decision arrived Sunday. Upon arrival in Australia, Djokovic — who is also a vocal critic of vaccinations — had been detained by the Australian Border Force, who denied him entry into the country. While Djokovic expressed his disappointment in the court’s decision, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said his priority is to keep Australians safe. “Australians have made many sacrifices during this pandemic, and they rightly expect the result of those sacrifices to be protected,” he said in a statement on Sunday.
Amy Schneider officially has 3rd-longest ‘Jeopardy!’ winning streak in history: “Jeopardy!” champ Amy Schneider is officially in third place for consecutive wins on the iconic quiz show with her 33rd victory. Schneider, whose “Jeopardy!” run began on Nov. 17, overtook James Holzhauer’s 32-game winning streak on Friday’s episode. She is now just a handful of wins away from overtaking Matt Amodio’s 38-game winning streak. Ken Jennings, whose 74-game winning streak has held up since 2004, remains in first place as the champ with the most consecutive wins. Schneider is already the only woman to win more than $1 million on “Jeopardy!.” She increased her total winnings to $1,111,800 and is currently in fourth place based on highest winnings during regular-season play, behind only Jennings, Holzhauer and Amodio. Aside from her performance on the quiz show, Schneider has garnered attention for being the most successful trans contestant in “Jeopardy!” history and for speaking about the importance of trans visibility and representation.

Today’s Top Stories from NBC News

MONDAY, JANUARY 17, 2022

Good morning, NBC News readers. It’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a federal holiday in the United States.

 

Today we’re taking a closer look at another new pandemic challenge: Americans bearing the brunt of the rising costs of protection and detection. We have the latest on the Texas synagogue hostage-taker. Plus, how MLK’s granddaughter thinks you should spend the day.

 

Here’s what we’re watching this Monday morning.

Cost of masks and tests deepens a pandemic wedge between the haves and the have-nots

Article Image

In recent weeks, as the omicron variant spread rapidly across the U.S., Americans have found that the financial costs of the pandemic are increasingly falling on their shoulders.

 

As Covid-19 cases have climbed, public health experts have urged people to dump their cloth masks in favor of higher-quality options and to test more frequently to curb the virus.

 

For some, the added financial burden is an irritation — but still affordable. To others, the prospect of paying $1 for a single disposable mask or $24 for a test kit is an economic impossibility, raising the specter that the pandemic will continue to exacerbate inequalities.

 How MLK’s 13-year-old granddaughter thinks you should spend the holiday

Yolanda Renee King, granddaughter of the late civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., may only be 13 years old, but she is already a seasoned speaker and activist.

 

And she is using her voice this MLK Day to call attention to the importance of voting rights, and why younger generations should be involved with the fight.

 

“MLK Day is not a day off,” says Yolanda, but instead, “it should be treated as a day on. It’s a day of service.”

55.) REALCLEARPOLITICS MORNING NOTE

01/17/2022

Carl Cannon’s Morning Note

RCP Takeaway; Biden and Monopolies; Ike and DJT 
By Carl M. Cannon on Jan 17, 2022 09:29 am
Good morning, it’s Monday Jan. 17, 2022. Sixty-one years ago today, Dwight D. Eisenhower delivered his farewell address to the American people. “Ike,” as he was affectionately known, had served his country long and well: Counting his four years at West Point, Eisenhower put in 42 years in the U.S. Army and eight in the White House.

When elected president in 1952, he was a political outsider. So much so that many Americans, including Harry Truman, had assumed during the war years that Ike was a New Deal Democrat. He was not. He turned out to be a fiscally conservative Republican, whose skepticism of big government extended to the military. I’ve written previously in this space about Eisenhower’s famous “military industrial complex” speech delivered on this date in 1961, but I haven’t done so since Jan. 6, 2021, an event that provides another prism through which to view the 34th U.S. president.

In a moment, I’ll offer my observations about the comparison between the 1960-61 presidential transition and the recent one, which convulsed American politics. First, I’d direct you to RCP’s front page, which contains the latest poll averages, political news and video, aggregated opinion pieces ranging across the ideological spectrum. We also offer our usual complement of original material:

* * *

RCP Takeaway. Elections analyst Sean Trende joins Tom Bevan, Andy Walworth and me to discuss the midterms, the Supreme Court rulings on mandates, and Democrats’ stalled voting rights bill.

Biden’s “Blue-Collar” War on Monopolies. Phil Wegmann explores the president’s antitrust messaging, which casts big business as not just the cause of inflation but a diminished middle class.

Cheapening the Vote: The Other Inflation. Frank Miele offers his take on Democrats’ “voting rights” push.

Democrats Mislead Americans on Election Reform. Peter Vicenzi spotlights new polling that shows a majority of voters support many of the safeguards being pushed in Republican-led states.

7 Things We’ve Learned About the 2020 Elections. Phill Kline details his concerns about transparency and accountability.

True “COVID Relief” Demands a New Economic Consensus. Sen. Marco Rubio advocates supply chain initiatives and other changes in fiscal policy.

Debate Over “Common-Good Conservatism.” Peter Berkowitz assesses rival interpretations of America’s founding principles and the U.S. Constitution’s primary purposes.

Beware of Budget Gimmickry in Revived Build Back Better. At RealClearPolicy, Edgar O. Olsen highlights hidden costs among little-known proposals in the still teetering social spending legislation.

What Did Last Week Mean for Election Law? As last week’s voting legislation at the federal level stalled in the Senate, Todd Carney reviews measures still advancing in several states.

Expanding the Legacy of King. John Wood Jr. celebrates how the civil rights leader’s work spoke prophetically to current issues of voting rights and social transformation.

On the Matter of Inflation, Elizabeth Warren Blames … Kroger’s. Andrew Wilford explores the progressive senator’s attempts to explain the rise in the CPI on greed and collusion in the grocery industry.

What Will It Take to Put K-12 Education on a Better Path? Keri Ingraham suggests several approaches for remedying the documented learning loss among students during pandemic school closures and virtual classrooms.

Christopher Dawson’s Vision of Education. Brad Birzer recalls the broad vision of a true liberal arts education through the eyes of the early 20th century British philosopher.

* * *

President Truman had predicted that the five-star general replacing him in the Oval Office would have trouble adjusting to life atop a bureaucracy that didn’t follow orders as readily as junior officers do in the military — not to mention sharing authority with the legislative and judicial branches. In a sense, Truman was prescient. As president, Ike’s own Supreme Court appointees disappointed him, and his relations with Congress had rough patches.

Yet Dwight Eisenhower was a fast study, and a popular president, and he learned that it was counterproductive to take legislative defeats personally. He rarely criticized Democratic congressional leaders in public, even when they did the same to him. “What I plead for are the programs that I believe to be good for America,” he said at a 1957 press conference. “And now it happens that I believe the Republicans have a better program than the Democrats, and to that extent, I am going to be partisan, but primarily I am for the program.”

On Jan. 17, 1961, Eisenhower described his dealings with Democrats on Capitol Hill in conciliatory terms — and on a personal note.

“Our people expect their president and the Congress to find essential agreement on issues of great moment, the wise resolution of which will better shape the future of the nation,” he said. “My own relations with the Congress, which began on a remote and tenuous basis when, long ago, a member of the Senate appointed me to West Point, have since ranged to the intimate during the war and immediate postwar period, and, finally, to the mutually interdependent during these past eight years.

“In this final relationship,” Ike added, “the Congress and the administration have, on most vital issues, cooperated well, to serve the national good rather than mere partisanship, and so have assured that the business of the nation should go forward. So, my official relationship with the Congress ends in a feeling, on my part, of gratitude that we have been able to do so much together.”

It seems quaint, doesn’t it? Yet one can’t help but wonder whether today’s politicians would be more effective if they restrained their rhetorical excess. Or maybe not: The two major political parties are more polarized than they were in the mid-20th century, and those policy differences cause passions to boil over. All the more reason that presidential transitions, particularly involving a change of party, must be handled “delicately” — lest you break democracy’s spell.

Donald J. Trump was infamously indelicate during America’s most recent presidential election, one which he insisted as recently as this weekend was stolen from him. I predict that this will seem like an odd obsession to historians, given that Joe Biden bested President Trump by 7 million votes in the popular tally. But I suppose losing every swing state by whisker does strange things to a candidate. In any event, much has been made of Trump’s Jan. 6 speech exhorting his followers to “march” on the U.S. Capitol, presumably with the aggrieved president at the head of the column. Instead, Trump motorcaded back to the warmth of the White House. Hundreds of those who heeded his call now face criminal charges.

In his own farewell address, after issuing the obligatory hopes for the new administration (he extended his “best wishes” as well as good “luck” — “a very important word,” Trump said mysteriously), he spent all of 26 words discussing Jan. 6. “All Americans were horrified by the assault on our Capitol,” Trump said. “Political violence is an attack on everything we cherish as Americans. It can never be tolerated.”

He then delivered a long and boastful speech lauding his own tenure in office. A campaign speech, really. It reminded me of a song by Dan Hicks, a puckish send-up of country music. “How Can I Miss You When You Won’t Go Away?”

NEED TO KNOW

Tonga Eruption

The Polynesian nation of Tonga was rocked Saturday by the massive eruption of an underwater volcano, a seismic event that sent an ash cloud 12 miles high and pushed a 4-foot-high tsunami onto land. Officials are still assessing the damage; tsunami waves reached the western coasts of the Americas, with the blast heard as far away as Alaska, nearly 6,000 miles from Tonga. More than 100,000 people live in the island nation.

 

The Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano sits about 50 miles north of the main island and reaches more than a mile off the seafloor. The region experiences significant seismic activity—Tonga’s archipelago sits along the Pacific “Ring of Fire,” an area defined by multiple tectonic plate boundaries responsible for 75% of the world’s volcanoes and 90% of its earthquakes. In particular, the country resides above the Tonga Trench, where the Pacific Plate is being rapidly pulled westward.

 

See satellite images of the eruption, and watch the video of the ocean surge here.

NFL Playoff Picture

The path to Super Bowl LVI solidified over the weekend, with five of six wild card playoff games being held.

 

The Cincinnati Bengals were Saturday’s top story, beating the Las Vegas Raiders 26-19 to secure their first playoff win in 31 years. Later in the evening, the Buffalo Bills dominated the New England Patriots 47-17 in an outdoor night game that featured single-digit temperatures.

 

In Sunday’s action, the defending champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Philadelphia Eagles 35-15, while the Dallas Cowboys fell at home to rival the San Francisco 49ers 23-17. In the late game, the Kansas City Chiefs topped the Pittsburgh Steelers 42-21 in what was likely Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger’s final game. The Los Angeles Rams and the Arizona Cardinals face off tonight (8:15 pm ET, ESPN) to close out wild card weekend.

 

The top-seeded teams in each conference, the Green Bay Packers and the Tennessee Titans, had the weekend off. See an updated playoff bracket here.

Dallas Hostage Standoff

Four people taken hostage were rescued unharmed Saturday after an 11-hour standoff with a gunman inside a Dallas-area synagogue. The suspect was shot and killed in an engagement with responding officers after hostages had been evacuated.

 

Officials identified the suspect as 44-year-old Malik Faisal Akram, a British national. Among his demands, Akram reportedly called for the release of Aafia Siddiqui, a Pakistani national being held in a Fort Worth, Texas, federal prison for attempting to kill American officials in Afghanistan. Siddiqui, the first female terrorism defendant arrested after 9/11, has become a cause célèbre for al-Qaida sympathizers who believe her conviction was unjust.

 

The standoff was reportedly ended after the involvement of the FBI’s hostage rescue team, who flew in from Virginia as the situation began to unfold.

Welcome to the Monday edition of Internet Insider, dissecting online disinformation—one dumb conspiracy at a time.

The COVID-19 vaccine being put into a syringe.

ONE DUMB CONSPIRACY

Conspiracy blog spreads comedy video as proof that NY Times editor died from booster

Conspiracy theorists believe they have finally found concrete proof that the death of a New York Times editor last month was caused by the COVID-19 vaccine.

 

But it turns out that the so-called evidence was entirely fabricated.

 

Carlos Tejada, the deputy Asia editor for the New York Times, passed away on Dec. 17, 2021 due to a heart attack.

 

Tejada’s death, like so many others, was immediately seized upon by anti-vaxxers despite no evidence that the inoculation had been to blame.

 

Yet this month, conspiracy theorists uncovered what they were convinced was video of Tejada bragging about receiving the booster shot just hours before his death.

 

The footage appeared last Monday in an article from the True Defender, a little-known conspiracy blog that regularly carries anti-vax content.

 

Headlined “NYT Editor Dies Of Heart Attack After Bragging About The Booster,” the article contains footage from a Jan. 8 tweet in which Tejada is alleged to discuss receiving his booster shot.

 

The individual in the video can be heard defending the booster and mocking anti-vaccine talking points. A still image of a statement made by Tejada’s wife concerning her husband’s death by heart attack is attached to the end of the footage as well.

 

But the individual in the footage is not Tejada. And the original video does not contain the screenshot from Tejada’s wife either.

 

The column continues below.

The video actually shows Canadian comedian Stewart Reynolds, who shared the original video to his Twitter account on Dec. 17.

 

Shortly after the article from the True Defender started going viral, Reynolds responded in a follow-up tweet denouncing the false claim that he was actually Tejada.

 

“It was brought to my attention today that one of my videos has been edited into an anti-vaccination clip suggesting that I died after my booster shot and that I’m a NYT editor…” Reynolds wrote. “To clarify, and as is plainly evident: I am not a NYT editor.”

 

The Daily Dot reached out to the True Defender to inquire over whether it was aware that the video it featured did not in fact show Tejada. The True Defender did not immediately respond.

 

It remains unclear whether the True Defender merely failed to fact-check the tweet or if it purposely promoted what it knew to be a false claim.

The Daily Dot also investigated the article’s author Ava Garcia, an alleged journalist with 7 years of experience in the industry.

 

The Daily Dot was unable to find any further information on Garcia online.

 

Even more interesting, Henry Ajder, a synthetic media expert with Metaphysic.ai, told the Daily Dot that he believed the image used for Garcia had been created with artificial intelligence (AI).

 

Twitter has since responded to the false claim by disabling all retweets and replies on the tweet that shared the falsely attributed video.

Hi, my name is Alexandra Meeks and I’m your new 5 Things writer. Thank you for sharing your mornings with me! I’m excited to catch you up with the latest news, so let’s get started. Here’s what else you need to know to Get Up to Speed and On With Your Day.
By Alexandra Meeks

Visitors gather at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial as snow falls in Washington, DC yesterday.

1

Extreme weather

 

More than 50 million people are under winter weather alerts across the Eastern US as freezing rain, ice and snow have left more than 180,000 people without power. Efforts to clear roads are underway in states like South Carolina and Virginia, where hazardous conditions have caused several crashes. Air travel was also snarled by the wintry conditions, with more than 3,000 US flights canceled yesterday and more than 1,200 flights canceled as of this morning, according to FlightAware.com. The winter storm treated some residents of the Florida panhandle to rare snow flurries yesterday, but the system brought much more dangerous conditions to southwest Florida, where at least two tornadoes destroyed at least 28 homes in Lee County.

 

2

Voting rights

 

Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a national holiday honoring the civil rights leader who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 for advancing racial equality and social justice. In honor of King’s legacy, current civil rights leaders are vowing to keep pressure on Congress to pass voting and election bills in the face of ongoing Senate delays on the legislation. Martin Luther King III, the son of the late civil rights leader who would have turned 93 on Saturday said “the stakes could not be higher to protect and expand” his father’s legacy by passing measures that strengthen voter rights. Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona are both needed to get the bills over the finish line, but the two Democrats remain opposed to changing filibuster rules. The Senate is expected to take up the voting legislation on Tuesday.

3

Coronavirus

 

Health care professionals are ramping up efforts to inform parents that unvaccinated children face increased vulnerability to Covid-19. While early data indicates Omicron appears to cause less severe symptoms and leads to fewer hospitalizations, its rapid spread indicates more children are likely to become infected. For the week ending January 6, nearly 600,000 child Covid-19 cases were reported nationwide, according to a report from the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Children’s Hospital Association — a 78% increase from the prior week. Schools are also a focus as many struggle to remain open for in-person learning — but a lack of money isn’t the problem. Much of the $190 billion that Congress authorized for schools earlier in the pandemic has yet to be used. In a majority of states, less than 20% of the federal money had been spent by the end of November, according to data from the US Department of Education.

4

Tsunamis

 

A series of underwater volcano eruptions near Tonga is complicating efforts to assess the damage to the Pacific island nation following Saturday’s massive eruption and tsunami that sent scores of people fleeing to higher ground. The latest eruption occurred at the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano earlier this morning, but no tsunami warnings have been issued. Saturday’s eruption was the largest felt in 30 years, creating a huge plume of ash, gas and steam — and sending tsunami waves crashing across the Pacific that reached California, Alaska and Hawaii. Although no mass casualties have been reported, aid groups are concerned about contaminated air and access to clean water for people in Tonga’s outlying islands.

5

Novak Djokovic

 

The Australian Open is underway in Melbourne without tennis star Novak Djokovic. The world No. 1-ranked men’s player left the country yesterday after losing a legal challenge against a decision revoking his visa for the second time. In a virtual hearing earlier in the day, three Federal Court judges in Australia unanimously dismissed Djokovic’s application to overturn the immigration minister’s decision to cancel his visa, but did not publish their reasons for the ruling. The departure brings to an end a protracted drama revolving around whether or not the Serb, who is not vaccinated against Covid-19, could be admitted to the country under a medical exemption. Djokovic had hoped to win a record-breaking 21st men’s grand slam title.

Peter Berkowitz on the “common-good” conservatism debate

Posted: 16 Jan 2022 06:13 PM PST

(Paul Mirengoff)I’ve written a few posts about common-good/national conservatism and its challenge to the mainstream conservative movement as it has existed since the 1960s. Two of these posts are basically summaries of presentations in a forum hosted by The New Criterion. Among other things, my posts summarized the lead, anti-common-good conservatism piece by Kim Holmes and a rebuttal by Josh Hammer.

Peter Berkowitz covers this ground in an article called “The Debate Over ‘Common-Good Conservatism.’” Peter is better equipped to write astutely about that debate than I am, so I’m glad his main conclusions are similar to mine.

One of the grounds presented by some common-good conservatives for rejecting the traditional conservative approach is that the contemporary, “neo Marxist” left poses a new kind of challenge to America. Traditional conservatism, though adequate for combatting Soviet communism, is said to be unable to cope with the threat of militant wokeism. (See the address by David Hazony at the end of this post, for example.)

I question whether that is so. There is nothing I can think of in the woke program — whether it’s men competing against or sharing restrooms with women, restrictions on religious freedom, divvying up benefits and burdens by race, or teaching that America’s history is predominantly evil — that traditional conservatives wouldn’t and don’t vigorously oppose.

Maybe it’s a question of far to go in opposing these things. My view of traditional conservatives is that they would fight like hell to ban the teaching of Critical Race Theory in high school, for example, but would not try to prohibit elective courses in colleges and law schools that teach CRT.

Would common-good conservatives try to ban such courses from being taught at that level? If so, I’m with the traditional conservatives on this one.

  
The Russian Bear, On the March

Posted: 16 Jan 2022 05:25 PM PST

(John Hinderaker)Russia is carrying out a cyber attack on Ukraine, and it is reported–rather casually, it seems to me–that Russia is likely to invade soon:

U.S. intelligence officials have determined a Russian effort is underway to create a pretext for its troops to further invade Ukraine, and Moscow has already prepositioned operatives to conduct “a false-flag operation” in eastern Ukraine, according to the White House.
***
“We are concerned that the Russian government is preparing for an invasion in Ukraine that may result in widespread human-rights violations and war crimes should diplomacy fail to meet their objectives,” [Jen] Psaki said.
***
The U.S. intelligence findings, which were declassified and shared with U.S. allies before being made public, estimate that a military invasion could begin between mid-January and mid-February.

Any day now, in other words. Today another news story caught my eye, in what may be a case of life imitating art. In 2018, Brad Thor published the 17th book in his Scot Harvath series, titled Spymaster. In Spymaster, Russia plans an invasion of the Baltic states. Key to that strategy, in the book, is occupation of the island of Gotland, strategically located in the Baltic:

From a review in the Federalist:

It all is part of a plot to soften up the already sagging national will of European nations and to prepare the ground for a military invasion via Scandinavia.

To do that, Russia plans to bottle up the Baltic Sea by taking the Swedish island of Gotland. The military attack on Europe is imminent, and the GRU spymaster behind the PRF has a years-in-the-making sleeper cell in place on Gotland. He activates it. And it’s on this charming semi-rural island…where Harvath’s team sets up shop and the bulk of the action takes place.

The idea of a Russian invasion of the Baltics and Scandinavia with Gotland playing a pivotal role stuck with me. So this headline in Sweden’s English language Local site jumped out at me: “Sweden rolls out tanks on Baltic island over Russia tensions.”

In an unusual move, Sweden deployed armoured combat vehicles and armed soldiers to patrol streets on the island of Gotland on Friday in response to increased “Russian activity” in the region, the military said.
***
The move came after three Russian landing ships sailed into the Baltic Sea through the Great Belt Strait in Denmark this week, and amid increased tensions between Russia and NATO.

“The armed forces are taking the necessary measures to safeguard Sweden’s integrity and to demonstrate our ability to protect Sweden and Swedish interests”, Defence Minister Peter Hultqvist told AFP in emailed remarks.

In a statement late Thursday, the military said troops would be deployed “to reinforce operations in multiple locations” due to “increased Russian activity in the Baltic Sea”.
***
Hultqvist also told news agency TT the increased patrols on Gotland showed Sweden was taking the situation seriously and would “not be caught off-guard.”

“We are not unaware of the security risks that exist.”

In foreign policy as in domestic affairs, Sweden is not the leftist paradise that American liberals often imagine.

What are we to make of these news stories? It seems that Vladimir Putin is probing Western defenses with a view toward launching one or more military strikes. For some reason, news coverage has been minimal. If war comes, it will be a shock to most Americans. Meanwhile, on Thursday Senate Democrats–within, what? 24 hours after denouncing the filibuster as “racist”–filibustered a proposal to impose sanctions on Russia over the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, another Russian geopolitical initiative.

I am a biased observer, but it seems likely to me that Russia’s aggressiveness is driven in part by the fact that the President of the United States suffers from senile dementia. If I were Putin (or Xi, but that is a matter for another post), I would view the Biden administration as a once-in-a-century opportunity to make strategic gains that will be difficult or impossible to reverse. I fear that is what we are seeing.

Aug. 28, 1963: 'I Have a Dream' speech • Location: Washington, D.C. Up to 250,000 people filled the Mall in Washington for a march for justice and equality in August 1963, the largest march of its kind to that point. And they heard Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., made his legendary "I Have a Dream" speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial that has become the signature moment of the civil rights movement. A year later, President Lyndon B. Johnson would sign the Civil Rights Act of 1964. ALSO READ: The Most Important Civil Rights Speeches

MLK Day arrives amid frustration over voting rights bill

Monday marks Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a federal holiday honoring the civil rights leader who led the drive to end racial segregation in America. Democratic lawmakers will mark the holiday having come up short on a promise to vote on a Senate rule change aimed at ushering through a key voting rights bill. The Senate is expected to take up the House-passed bill Tuesday. U.S. stock markets, many federal and state offices, and most banks will be closed. Unlike some federal holidays, however, many national restaurant chains and retailers will stay open. Most schools, colleges and universities won’t hold classes.

Fierce winter storm lashes eastern US with ice, dangerous cold

A furious winter storm packing heavy snow, ice, gale-force winds and tornadoes marched across the nation , leaving nearly 250,000 homes and businesses in the dark by Monday in South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida. Two people died Sunday when their car drove off the road and into trees in a median east of Raleigh, North Carolina. Over 7,000 flights into, out of and within the country were canceled or delayed on Sunday, according to the tracking website flightaware.com. More than 1,200 flights were canceled as of 6 a.m. ET Monday. The storm headed into the Northeast, dropping snow, sleet and rain around the densely populated Eastern Seaboard. Washington was forecast to see up to 3 inches of snow followed by a round of ice.

Australian Open begins without deported Novak Djokovic

It came down to a last-minute decision, but Novak Djokovic will not be defending his men’s Australian Open title on Monday. A saga that monopolized global tennis attention as it unfolded over 11 days finally came to a head Sunday when Federal Court judges unanimously upheld a decision made by Immigration Minister Alex Hawke to cancel Djokovic’s visa on public interest grounds because he is not vaccinated against COVID-19. Djokovic was heading home to Serbia on Monday following his deportation. Monday’s matches in the men’s bracket will be headlined by last year’s runner-up, No. 2 seed Daniil Medvedev, who will face Henri Laaksonen at 11 p.m. EST. In the women’s bracket, defending champion Naomi Osaka is back, defeating Maria Camila Osorio Serrano in her opening match late Sunday.

Rams, Cardinals face off in first playoff game on ‘Monday Night Football’

The Los Angeles Rams and Arizona Cardinals will make history Monday when they take the field for their wild card round matchup. The tie between the two NFC West foes will be the first-ever playoff game on “Monday Night Football.” The teams split their two regular season games, with the Rams taking the most recent matchup, 30-23 last month. However, Los Angeles will be without both of its starting safeties, with Jordan Fuller and Taylor Rapp out with injuries. Although Arizona won’t have receiver DeAndre Hopkins, who is on Injured Reserve with a knee injury, star defensive lineman J.J. Watt is expected to play, according to Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer. Monday’s game is scheduled to kickoff at 8:15 p.m. ET on ESPN.

Celebrate Betty White on the big screen

Monday marks what would have been the 100th birthday of TV pioneer and Emmy-winning actress Betty White, who died last month. While funeral arrangements for the late actress remain private, fans don’t have to mourn her at home. The documentary “Betty White: A Celebration,” which was being prepared before her death, will premiere at almost 900 movie theaters nationwide for one-day-only. The film features key moments in the actress’ long career plus cameos from White’s friends including Ryan Reynolds, Tina Fey, Robert Redford, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Clint Eastwood, Jimmy Kimmel and others. Meanwhile, many of White’s TV shows – including “Golden Girls,” “Mary Tyler Moore Show” and more – are still available to stream.

January 14, 2022

Posted on January 14, 2022

January 14, 2022

On Friday’s Mark Levin Show, Nancy Pelosi’s son Paul Jr. is connected to several companies investigated by the FBI and the media is barely reporting on it. One of the biofuel companies even defrauded investors. Paul Jr is frugal but nowhere near being strapped for cash. A special counsel’s criminal investigation into all of the Pelosi’s dealings is definitely warranted. Then, the democrat party is devouring Americanism with American Marxism and they’re using issues that are irrelevant to the American people to do it. All the Democrats do is offer empty promises, not solutions. Later, President Biden and company don’t have answers to our problems because they cause our problems. Their entire reason for being is to advance their ideology, they don’t care if you have to suffer for a while. This is how the Marxist works and why they make empty promises like healthcare is a right. Just ask our veterans in the Veterans Administration if healthcare is a right. Afterward, Brent Bozell, founder of MRC and author of “Stops Along the Way: A Catholic Soul, a Conservative Heart, an Irish Temper, and a Love of Life” calls in. Bozell explained that billionaire progressive activist George Soros is spending billions on every major issue including bribing colleges to adapt to his gender abolition agenda to change the arc of history.
