In #2 Occasional Reader said: Good morning. Janet Yellen has been consistently wrong about pretty much everything.
https://issuesinsights.com/2022/04/27/see-if-you-can-follow-yellens-bouncing-inflation-ball/ I've seen Sundance over at the Conservative Treehouse speculate that they will wait a few months until inflation slows a bit, and then start increasing prime lending rates. Then the administration will be able to claim that the changes they have made are clearly already helping. It's all about shaping the narratives, not about the realities on the ground. Advertising over substance.

I'm surprised Winston Smith didn't make the cut as director.

"Republicans are against democracy". Against "Our" democracy. In other words, against the "Democracy" of the Left.

Reply to lucius septimius in 13: Diversity, Free Speech, and the 'Woke' Assault on America
Just as in ancient Athens, the resentment of elites towards ordinary people’s participation in political speech reflects not just class snobbery, but political ideology rather than superior knowledge or reason. It also explains the progressive preference for technocratic rule through government agencies comprising “experts,” whom Woodrow Wilson called the “hundreds who are wise” given the power to rule the thousands “who are selfish, ignorant, timid, stubborn, or foolish.” In our times the latter comprise those whom Democrats brand as “bitter clingers,” “deplorables,” and “smelly Wal-Mart shoppers,” while Twitter and Facebook censor their speech to eliminate alleged “hate speech” and “misinformation,” Orwellian euphemisms for the opinions from those whose politics the elite disdain and whose opinions they silence. The other source of today’s censorship is stale Marxism of various stripes. Communism has always fancied itself as a “science” rather than a political ideology, in which those converted to Marx’s “scientific history” are entitled, by their superior technical expertise to control the political order and guide history towards the progressive paradise or “diversity,” “inclusion,” and “equity.” Those standing in the way of this glorious future must be silenced or eliminated. Diversity of opinion is verboten just as heresy is forbidden in religion, for such views bespeak “false consciousness” and can seduce people away from the leftist gospel. Thus the operating principle is “by any means necessary,” including rank hypocrisy, egregious double-standards, propaganda, censorship, “cancel culture,” and political violence like that we witnessed in 2020.
