In 2020, House Progressives and the incredibly radical Squad had exactly the same opportunity as House conservatives had.
House conservatives defied Leadership to get major concessions to empower them and their agenda.
House progressives did what they were told and got nothing: https://t.co/pfFCzW6wkl

Think back to early 2020. Was it all a big lie? If so, were Western leaders complicit in the lie?
Update: I wanted to offer a correction over the use of the word “all” in the title. This simply mirrored the title of the video. If you watch the entire video, you’ll see that the author, Michael Sanger, isn’t saying that “Covid was fake” but rather that the statistics about it and reaction to it were less than honest. From the beginning, I’ve never believed that Covid was fake. Something was released, accidentally or deliberately, and this killed many people. My gripe has always been the reaction of Western governments to the virus outbreak and how they’ve used it to frighten & control masses of people.
Rachel Gilmore is employed by Global News. She’s getting very close to libeling Jordan Peterson. One wonders if she has a good lawyer.
Canadian Math:
John Tory plans to spend $2 billion to deal with housing crisis
Canada welcomed record number of immigrants in 2022
What is $2 Billion / 431,645 ?

When former Navy Seal, Dan Crenshaw, first came to public attention, I was very impressed with him. How incredibly disappointing he has been.

She has since locked her Twitter account.
Update: Joe Rogan chimes in.
Update 2: Dr. Solenkova is a physician in Miami.
Update from Kate: Tweet is fake.
“Interesting” conversation. One wonders how many of them are capable of running a Fortune 500 corporation. Maybe a lemonade stand?!?
Update: More insight into Leftist Lunacy!
I’m happy to report that New York City appears to have returned to mostly normal. This is clearly a good sign, especially considering that both San Francisco and Los Angeles have not improved since March 2020, and only gotten worse.
But I did spot this tent, which I photographed for all of you on SDA:
First they lie, then they escalate, then they censor.
One of Canada’s leading experts on drug addiction says British Columbia’s provincial government asked him to delete a crucial database in an attempt to censor criticism of the province’s homeless policies. The incident appears to fit within a larger, nationwide campaign to silence experts who believe that, when it comes to homelessness and drugs, Canadian policy-makers are on the wrong track.[…]
In B.C., as in much of Canada, the popular approach is to herd homeless people into housing where most, if not all, residents are fresh off the streets, creating a critical mass of trauma and addiction. These residents are then given a “safe supply” of free drugs and provided few resources for recovery and social reintegration.
Somers’ study showed that if you house homeless people in a way that disperses them into normal society, and then prioritize rehabilitation, employment and social reintegration, you see a 70 per cent reduction in crimes committed and a 50 per cent reduction in medical emergencies, all without spending more money.
The study confirmed the common-sense notion that it’s better to empower people to get back on their feet, rather than foster dependency through easy access to free drugs. […]
Armed with his study results, Somers worked with 14 non-profits to call for reforms to B.C.’s drug and homeless policies. In late February 2021, he presented his findings to several provincial deputy ministers.
A week later, the provincial government sent him a letter demanding that he destroy the IMED within one week.
“Progressives” believe in a lot of things. But democracy and competence are not remotely part of their belief system.
This is what clueless normies are consuming in late 2022.
The first video clip in this segment was my absolute favourite of the year. The other clips are just comedic bonuses.
Please do share your similarly entertaining videos from 2022.
Here are some excellent summaries of the absolute incompetence of our “intellectual betters” over the past 3 years:
Please do share any similarly great links in the comments.
All levels of government involved with San Francisco have dramatically failed the citizens. But those same citizens keep voting for these incompetent morons.

To see how badly “Science” has been corrupted, look no further than this video.

The longstanding question of “Stupid or Liar?” is useful when reading such things. Given how credentialed these people are, should we be more frightened if it’s the former or the latter?!? Asking for billions of friends.
Matt Taibbi’s latest substack article brings some solace to this otherwise crazy year:
Sometime in the last decade, many people — I was one — began to feel robbed of their sense of normalcy by something we couldn’t define. Increasingly glued to our phones, we saw that the version of the world that was spat out at us from them seemed distorted. The public’s reactions to various news events seemed off-kilter, being either way too intense, not intense enough, or simply unbelievable. You’d read that seemingly everyone in the world was in agreement that a certain thing was true, except it seemed ridiculous to you, which put you in an awkward place with friends, family, others. Should you say something? Are you the crazy one?

With a heart as black as coal, she stole several Christmases, and Easters, and Halloweens, and Birthdays. Plus Happiness and Prosperity. Plus the Education of Children young & old.
Who are we referring to? Watch this and find out.

Update: The comments from Twitter are telling. Here’s but one example:
The banality of evil.
