It’s a power grab of the sort that normally would best be called shameless or brazen, but listening to Trump, the best descriptor might be idiotic…There’s no reasonable case that Trump really won the election.

On Jan. 1, China, Cuba, and Russia will become members of the U.N. Human Rights Council. Yes, China, which has imprisoned 2 million of its Uighur citizens in gulag reeducation camps, sterilized thousands, and used the rest for de facto slave labor, is donning the U.N. human rights mantle.

Many of the same reporters who coasted to book deals and better jobs on the back of the anti-Trump “resistance” are not sure what comes next. All they know is that they’ve no intention of approaching President-elect Joe Biden’s presidency with the same histrionics and hostility that boosted their careers in the Trump era.

Eddie Scarry: There are surely worse people on this Earth, but no one inspired more rage in my body in 2020 than the pandemic mask fetishists who worshiped the things strapped to their faces like idols, spreading the good word of their utility and harassing the heretics who dared whisper a scintilla of doubt about their efficacy.

Nearly a year into our 15 days to slow the spread, our political class still refuses to call out our supposed medical experts for repeatedly discrediting themselves with noble lie after noble lie. Finally, Sen. Marco Rubio has rightly called out Fauci for lying to the public because our ruling class believes us plebians to be too stupid to understand the coronavirus science.

Eddie Scarry: I traveled to South Carolina — on an airplane! — ahead of Christmas to stay in a house that will have nine people inside. By traveling, I supposedly “put others at risk,” but that’s one of those nonsensical lies liberals have come up with so that they can do their favorite thing: feel morally superior by shaming others.

If President-elect Joe Biden is paying his coronavirus adviser anything, he should try getting a refund. Michael Osterholm doesn’t seem to know much more about the pandemic than the average cable news anchor, and that kind of knowledge is basically free of charge.

The North Face has managed to make millions by billing itself as an environmentally conscious eco-friendly company…In reality, however, its business is predicated on selling clothes, shoes, and outdoor gear made of petroleum-based synthetic materials and then shipping those products around the world on fuel-guzzling ships and airplanes.

Despite the record turnout for both major parties, the result is that Trump lost. Recognizing this is neither an embrace of the Democratic Party nor a personal rejection of the current president and his policies. It’s simply a statement of fact.

From cheering the likely first openly gay, Senate-confirmed Cabinet secretary to hailing the first all-female White House communications team, claims that require a humorous number of clarifiers for them to be true, journalists at establishment newsrooms have made one thing clear: They are excited about the Biden presidency.

Warnock is an embarrassment in too many ways to count. But his willing attachment to Farrakhan should be disgusting to anyone, regardless of political stripe. Georgians should not let him embarrass them in the U.S. Senate.

There’s a limit to how much men and women can move into the natural role of the opposite sex without experiencing an adverse effect in the bedroom. Couples who move with the biological tide, rather than against it, have the greatest sexual polarity — and thus the greatest sex.

Barr was reasonable and honest, with a clear viewpoint on what justice requires and how law enforcement should operate. And without him, Trump will continue to drag himself down into a partisan sinkhole of his own making.

After the Supreme Court refused to hear Texas’s attempt to overturn the results of the presidential election in four battleground states, the Texas GOP floated an idea more radical than the original lawsuit: secession.

We are already on track to be in a much better place by the end of April than we are today. Biden is a politician, and not an especially honest one, so he can be expected to claim responsibility for what was already going to happen. But the media should not abet him in this deception, a ridiculous narrative based on the classic rainmaking con.

To be sure, race and gender are fine subjects to cover in journalism programs…But anyone familiar with Joy Reid’s work knows that’s not the kind of education she’s going to provide. No, the syllabus will be something like “Lessons in checking white privilege,” “Identifying white supremacy in politics,” and “Dismantling language rooted in toxic masculinity.”

Washington Examiner

Rather apologizes for nothing, he denies the obvious, and he now spends much of his time shouting on Twitter. Basically, Rather is like Trump. The chief difference is that our fact-first press loves Rather because he attacks the “right” targets.

Joe Biden, after promising to unite the country as a centrist president, has taken a radical turn by tapping California Attorney General Xavier Becerra to oversee the vast Department of Health and Human Services. Becerra has repeatedly described himself as a proponent of the socialized health insurance scheme currently branded deceptively as “Medicare for all.”

Has shuttering businesses and crushing livelihoods worked to control the virus? Here in California, the answer is clearly no.

If Trump were to have taken our advice and conceded, right now, he could be helping Republicans win the Georgia races by arguing exclusively that voting for Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler would place a necessary check on Biden. He could be arguing that voting for them would be crucial to preserving his legacy.

Washington Examiner

It’s funny how liberals and cable news talking heads insisted that Attorney General Barr was an untrustworthy fiend acting as Trump’s “personal lawyer” right up until he came out to say that the Justice Department had not found enough voter fraud to have made a difference in the election. Surprise, surprise. Barr’s word is now gospel.

Washington Examiner

Now that Trump does not even have his attorney general supporting him, Trump should follow Nixon’s lead. While still insisting that meritorious allegations of anomalies be investigated, Trump should concede the election and honor the tradition of a peaceful, stable transfer of presidential authority.

If the GOP loses both of those Georgia Senate races, Schumer will become Senate majority leader, and he will be Pelosi’s partner in trampling on our personal and economic freedoms. Chuck Schumer’s distinctly New York liberalism will be fused with Nancy Pelosi’s own brand of San Francisco liberalism.

Biden is evidently reluctant even to identify China for what it is — a communist dictatorship that seeks to displace the United States as the leader of an international order built around human freedom and opportunity and to replace it with one of Beijing-centered feudal serfdom. This truth isn’t negotiable.
