By Margot Cleveland, The Federalist - By keeping quiet about ASD’s “flawed methodology,” as Twitter framed it, the tech giant allowed Democrat politicians and the press to push yet another Russia hoax. And as Nunes told The Federalist, in spreading the Russia hoax, “Democrat members of Congress were not legislating in the public interest, the media was not honestly informing the public, and the intelligence community was not defending Americans against foreign adversaries.” Instead, they all “melded into a giant, hideous propaganda apparatus with the single goal of deceiving the American people into believing something that wasn’t true.”

By John Zmirak, The Stream - On December 16, 1773, a small group of radicals in Boston broke the law. By dumping British tea into Boston Harbor, they defied the will of their long-standing government, violated property rights, and provoked a savage reaction by their rulers... Their motive? To stop the “tyrannical” British East India Company from imposing the kind of slavery on the Colonies that it had already imposed across India. The impact of this attack? A new set of harshly coercive laws imposed by the British Parliament.

By Brian Mark Weber, Patriot Post - As our own Nate Jackson wrote back in November: “The glaring irony is that Social Security and Medicare are in trouble if they’re not touched. … Despite the bill of goods sold by DC politicians about all the money you paid into these programs, that money is long gone. Current workers are paying current retirees, and the ratio of workers to retirees isn’t anywhere near as favorable as it was when Swamp dwellers started raiding that ‘lock box.’”

By David Harsanyi, The Federalist - Right now, none of the rationalizations offered by the media for Biden’s actions over the past few days are operational. When the story first broke, outlets stressed that one of the vital “distinctions” between the two incidents was that Biden was in possession of fewer documents than Trump. Biden aides, we learned, had been utterly shocked to discover only a “small number” of classified documents “locked” in the personal offices of the president’s “think tank” — as if the location or the number of documents, or the alleged lock, rather than the contents, were the most newsworthy aspect of the story.
