“Hannah Arendt had it right, She said one of the great advantages of the totalitarian elites of the twenties and thirties was to turn any statement of fact into a question of motive.” ~~ Patrick Moynihan

Quote of the Day
“The real scandal is the press’s role. No one is surprised to see elected officials or political partisans engaged in partisan tactics, which now includes lawfare. But this particular ruse doesn’t work without the media’s cooperation—its willingness to suspend disbelief, omit key facts, and pretend higher courts are acting out of bounds. It’s doing terrible damage. Where are the professional media critics when you need them?” ~~ Kim Strassel

Quote of the Day
All Street Journal
WASHINGTON — Starting tomorrow, all residents of the U.S. will be encouraged to keep a journal of all their daily movements, to be downloaded daily to ServeAlliance.gov. Those who don’t feel encouraged enough will be taxed, which is certainly not a penalty, which Congress has no right to impose on people for not doing something.
Citizens who hesitate will (like Oppo) be unable to continue in their current employment. They will also likely find (like Canadian truckers) their financial transactions halted.
A daily journal of citizens’ locations and movements will be required at the website. Phased in (over five years) will be helpful requirements for more detailed diary entries of their thoughts and feelings, in addition to movements. This is for equity.
Dr. Anthony Flockki, government spokesman, reminded the press that if someone has nothing to hide, he or she or they have nothing to fear from the new rules, which will not apply to members of Congress and those in essential positions.
