We went to California the day before this wonderful column was released, and I went into a sort of California trance. I have since been revived, and was able to read and understand this column, albeit more than a week late. Thank you, once again, for reaffirming my sanity amongst the woke savages.
Jeffrey Sachs has not argued that COVID-19 came from a US lab. He has argued that “US biotechnology may have helped created COVID-19”. That is quite possibly true. Nuclear technology started in the US. Is the US responsible for Chernobyl? US biotech is used all over the world. So what? That doesn’t make the US culpable. Did the US help fund the WIV (Wuhan Institute of Virology). Via Fauci, it did. When Sachs found out that Peter Daszak (who may well be the one person most responsible for COVID-19) was involved in the investigation into the origins of COVID-19, he shut the investigation down. See “Did US Biotechnology Help to Create COVID-19?” in Project Syndicate for what Jeffrey Sachs thinks on the subject.
But as is readily apparent, I also rant about “climate emergency” BS.
At some point I hope Bari and Nellie decide to pee on that 3rd rail to see what happens, because there is literally no difference between professors who get chased out of academia for saying they don’t believe there are 72 genders and PHD scientists who say there is no evidence that humans are mostly responsible for what we see in climate today who lose funding and jobs.
There is a reason why only the prominent but retired ones speak out.
The media slams all in the same way?
Sound familiar?
Beuhler?
Put another way, if you believe there are 72 (or 172) genders then you are also likely to believe that 97 or even 99.6% (Linas 2021 in case you are interested in how Woke climate BS is constructed) of climate scientists think the world is coming to an end.
It’s just as ridiculous
What is being done to us in energy policy because of “climate emergency” is frankly far more likely to destroy society than all the woke horseshit added together and multiplied by 100.
One of the best roundups in a while! Everything is white supremacy now. Old-fashioned, plain vanilla gay men and lesbian women are now almost as bad oppressors as white men are! Only woke latinx like AOC, who save the world through manicures can save us.
About Republican Hispanic people -- it's sad that the Republican party doesn't come to its senses and encourage more legal Mexican and South American immigration. They're redder than they think: religious people who like to have families, oppose abortion, and believe that one can earn a living through hard work. But the party has lost its mind about this. Remember when Republicans were pushing sensible amnesty programs and work permits?
The day a feminist like Nellie Bowles admits modern society is hostile to young males I'll eat corn. Sneering at the very idea that the purposeless vacuum is connected to the cultural zeitgeist that seeks to emasculate boys and erase gender differences basically proves Tucker's point that woke scolds are the ring leaders. The mass shooter dressed as a female right after the rampage. One of many crazy boys that grew up online. Sheltered by hyper precautionary females driving covid hysteria and isolation amonst teens. Connet the dots people. We live in the age of men without purpose. Having families and children has been extirpated from curriculum and the agenda of woke thought leaders.
Aw, Nellie, I'm disappointed that you're mischaracterizing what Jeffrey Sachs is saying! I'm not crazy about a lot of his economic and political theories, or ugh, the fact that he spoke to the Tehran Times, but his joint articles with Neil Harrison seem remarkably reasonable--you should read one of them! They are merely calling for a hard look at U.S. gain-of-function research, and an open investigation into the intellectual collaboration that U.S. universities and the U.S. government had with the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The U.S. may in fact have played a role by sharing gain-of-function technologies with the Wuhan lab.
Harrison and Sachs aren't saying that "COVID came from a U.S. lab" or that "the U.S. made COVID," as your piece claims. They go out of their way to say the origins are unknown, but that if it *was* a lab leak, we (and other countries that participate in this research) could have been a cog in the machinery that allowed it to happen. And since China isn't opening its books, they argue, we should at least be looking at ours if we're serious about investigating how this happened.
Let's remember how many people were denounced for bringing up the lab-leak hypothesis at all in months gone by, and not do the same to people who are asking our government to take a serious look at our own dangerous biochemical research, and the governmental funding for it.
Not for nothin', but this may be the first "recommendation" I have clicked on in substack. Normally I just get in, catch an episode of the pods I follow that are now here, and get out. These social media functions of platforms just tend to make me cranky. I don't like being "handled" and as a design guy I find most places have gone full on cattle chute in their UX practices. But I saw "Bari Weiss" and was like "huh, wonder what she is up to lately" and found this. The above is one of the most refreshing recaps I have read in idk how long. I won't be clicking on a bunch more suggestions, but I am incredibly thankful for this one and subbed in for the year. Keep up the outstanding work, we really need this kinda thing out here.
Something I would absolutely love to see happen in the near future is for a ‘Common Sense’ PAC of some sort to be formed. It would be one that would push our legislative priorities that puts forth solutions with an eye of compromise at its core. There are too many issues that compromise should be the absolute result we end up with and unfortunately we allow the loud more extreme elements to drive decisions.
My comment below is wrong. I got the timeline backwards and I apologize. “State law requires parental consent for a person under the age of 21 to obtain a card. Crimo Jr., [the father] several months after the law enforcement visit to the family’s home, sponsored
his son’s application for the firearm owner’s card.
I'm a third-generation Minneapolis resident, a traditional liberal appalled by the radical leftist damage done to our once highly-functional city (crime wave, citizens terrorized, police demoralized and unable to follow up 911 calls, bike lanes that are unused even in summer and impede traffic, trashing of zoning regs to promote density that destabilizes old, functional neighborhoods, etc.). I'd welcome an investigative journalist who would dig into the connections between various money scams involving the Somali community here and some who are connected to Omar and contributors to her campaigns. Here are a few links for anyone interested:
You never cease to impress me. How many writers would even mention the Harvard study on Universal Basic Income when it didn't support your position?

On Biden's gas prices comments - very similar to Obama's "you CEO's just need to hire folks and I'll subsidize " comments.
Clueless on the very basics of economics.
This is what happens when teens run a nation.
I'm an atheist. I don't normally use or have time for faith-based outfits; but if GiveSendGo are stepping up for Jose Alba I'm stepping up with them.

The quote of the week from AOC is def top 10 of the year 🙌🏻
Common sense is all about fighting woke

Common Sense is needed Everywhere.

Correct
Immigrant communities are among the most conservative people.
Too much ideology all the time from both left and right.

I'm late getting to this read but I think it may be your best yet Nellie.
"We are all living in Maya's world" sums everything up perfectly.
