"We've Gone From 15 Days To Slow The Spread To 3 Jabs To Keep Your Job"...

Lincoln Project, Dem Operative Claim Credit for Neo-Nazi False Flag Hoax as McAuliffe Campaign Limps Toward Defeat in Virginia
Speculation swirled almost immediately after an NBC News reporter on Friday posted a photo of five dispirited young people, dressed in white shirts and khakis, holding tiki torches in front of Republican candidate Glenn Youngkin's campaign bus in Charlottesville, Va. One of the "white supremacists" was an African American.
Their costumes were intended to evoke the "Unite the Right" rally in 2018, when white supremacist groups gathered to protest the removal of a Robert E. Lee statue. Despite the pouring rain, the cosplayers did not break character even as curious bystanders snapped photos.
"These men approached @GlennYoungkin’s bus as it pulled up saying what sounded like, ‘We’re all in for Glenn,'" NBC 29 reporter Elizabeth Holmes wrote on Twitter, the popular social networking website. The reporter's post was subsequently promoted by a campaign staffer for Democratic candidate Terry McAuliffe. Media experts instantly recognized the situation as "obviously a [Democratic] stunt," but neither the McAuliffe campaign nor the Virginia Democratic Party would admit to paying hapless youngsters to get drenched in the name of social justice.
The Lincoln Project, a Democratic super PAC whose senior members are widely suspected of enabling the sexually predatory behavior of disgraced cofounder John Weaver, claimed credit for the amateur stunt after a Vice News reporter identified one of the Democratic operatives holding an unlit tiki torch in the rain.
"Today’s demonstration was our way of reminding Virginians what happened in Charlottesville four years ago, the Republican Party’s embrace of those values, and Glenn Youngkin’s failure to condemn it," the Lincoln Project wrote in a statement. Democratic operative Lauren Windsor also posted a statement alleging she had worked with the Lincoln Project to "coordinate today's Youngkin action in Charlottesville."
Professional media observers were not entirely convinced by the Lincoln Project's admission of guilt. "I wouldn't be surprised if the Lincoln Project simply agreed to take responsibility after the fact as a favor to the McAuliffe campaign," wrote Brian Riedl, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute.
The Lincoln Project, which raised almost $100 million in the 2020 election cycle, has faced criticism after one of its founding members described his desire to transform the super PAC into a vehicle for "generational wealth," while others have used the windfall to pay off back taxes, mortgages, and other debts.
Oh, and speaking of skinheads, here's a photo of the Lincoln Project's senior leadership:

26 NY firehouses have been forced to close after firefighters refused to get vaccinated as seven-year-old dies in blaze and union warns lives are at risk
Radical Democrat Policies Continue To Endanger Americans
- A total of 26 New York firehouses have been forced to close after firefighters refused to get vaccinated ahead of Mayor Bill de Blasio's Friday deadline, which is when all workers had to report at least one dose of the shoto
- The FDNY stations that closed 'due to no manpower' include six in Manhattan, nine in Brooklyn, three in Queens, four in the Bronx and four in Staten Island
- On Friday De Blasio and FDNY Commissioner Daniel Nigro warned that the effects of the closures could 'endanger the lives' of city residents
- De Blasio announced in a tweet that on Saturday alone, in the 24 hours since the deadline, 2,300 more workers got the shot meaning 91 percent of city workers are now vaccinated
- The news came the same day Robert Resto, seven, was killed and his grandmother, 54, were seriously hurt in a deadly house fire that started in the basement of their Washington Heights home
- The blaze happened around 1.30am Saturday and injured three more people inside the home, including a firefighter and the young boy's father
The Uniformed Firefighters Association revealed a list of FDNY stations that 'have close due to no manpower' and it includes six in Manhattan, nine in Brooklyn, three in Queens, four in the Bronx and four in Staten Island.
On Friday FDNY Commissioner Daniel Nigro warned that the effects of the closures could be catastrophic and 'endanger the lives' of city residents.
A day later Robert Resto, 7, was killed and his 54-year-old grandmother were seriously hurt after a deadly blaze engulfed their Washington Heights home around 1.30am Saturday.
Although an FDNY spokesman told the FDNY that the firefighters' response time was not impacted by the 10,951 firefighters who have yet to get vaccinated, just yesterday firefighters were reportedly calling out sick to avoid unpaid leave.
'Is there a sickout?' Not to my knowledge no,' Andrew Ansbro of the Uniformed Firefighters Association said.
The grandmother was rushed to Jacobi Medical Center in serious condition.
Neighbors remembered the young boy as 'sweet (and) joyful,' adding that he was 'always reading, holding the door, smiling,' according to the New York Post.
FDNY officials said the apartment started in the back of the house's basement - located at 660 West 178th Street - and spread to the first floor.
Three other people inside the house - including one firefighter and the boy's father, according to a GoFundMe page - also suffered minor injuries and were taken to New York Presbyterian-Columbia Hospital.
All municipal workers have been ordered to show proof of at least one dose of the vaccine by 5pm Friday or risk being placed on unpaid leave come Monday.
And despite 26 stations being shuddered today, the FDNY has said it is not...
Desperate Democrats Aren’t Making Sausage, They’re Dropping Live Pigs Into a Woodchipper
Desperate Democrats are either the most comical or the most dangerous or maybe both.
The whiff of desperation surrounding Washington Democrats trying to save Presidentish Joe Biden’s “Build Back Better” agenda has become a stench so strong that it’s impossible to mistake from my home on the Front Range.
If you haven’t been following the situation on Capitol Hill — and it’s in so much flux that it’s almost impossible to stay completely up to date — I’ll give you a brief rundown before we get to that odor.
“Build Back Better” is Biden’s slogan for a massive expansion of welfare, spending, regulation, the likes of which we haven’t seen since LBJ’s Not-So-Great Society. Massive change on slender majorities is not a good idea, either politically or for the nation’s social fabric, but Dems gotta Dem.
BBB comes in two parts.
The first is a $1.2 trillion-with-a-T “infrastructure” bill that doesn’t contain much actual infrastructure spending, but is nonetheless supported by enough Republicans to almost guarantee its passage. (We’ll get back to the “almost” momentarily, so stick a pin in that.)
The second is another, even larger bill so absurd that its contents fall under comic sci-fi writer Douglas Adams’ “bistromathics.” There have been several versions of this bill, ranging in price from the current “compromise” bill costing $1.8 trillion (so they say) to the original Bernie Sanders (CPUSA-Vermont Oblast) version weighing in at $3.5 trillion (but actually $5 trillion).
No one knows what any version would actually cost. My friend and colleague Stephen Kruiser heard from a Senate aide on Thursday that the current bill is 2,500 pages, has no table of contents, and we probably won’t know what’s in it even if it does pass.
This brings us to a defining concept of bistromathics, recipriversexclusion, a number whose existence can only be defined as being anything other than itself. So if Democrats claim the bill costs precisely $1,790,238,032,455, then you can be sure it costs some figure exactly not that (but higher).
One problem with the second bill is that Democrats have to pass it via reconciliation in order to dodge the filibuster. The Senate is split 50/50, with alleged Vice President Kamala Harris to break any tie votes, but Democrats can’t afford a single defection.
Another problem is that West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin is opposed to some of the spendings, and Arizona Democrat Kyrsten Sinema is opposed to the taxing.
What’s a tax-and-spend party supposed to do?
Right now, they’re trying anything and everything and none of it’s working.
Hence the desperation.
Complicating matters — here’s where we get back to the “almost” part — the House Progressive Caucus is holding the bipartisan bill hostage if they don’t get the Sanders version of the bigger bill.
“Those that respect the law and love sausage should watch neither being made.”
-Mark Twain
That’s why on Thursday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-House of Wax) postponed yet again the vote on the bipartisan bill:
