"Overall 41% said they approved of Zhou, but you’ll notice that when confronted with, Oh yeah, so what has he done that you approve of? a full quarter of those who approved were totally stumped—the approval numbers on the screen only add up to 31%."

Very nice point, Mark. Terrifying that partisanship can become so ingrained as to detach its adherents from reality and logic - although this certainly isn't the first time this has happened. So should it be a surprise that a whole lot of us have come to think of Democrats as irrational cult members? Especially after we have had a two year long "masquerade and shots" party?

I wonder if TPTB also realized the malleability of the emotions of the cult members ahead of the COVID plandemic? OK, that is a rhetorical question.

Mark, Dan Bongino also has been discussing the alleged bomber of the RNC and DNC on 1/6 and the story does not seem to add up. Being a New Yorker by birth, I have always had a slightly cynical eye on stories like this. However, the actions of the FBI and DOJ over the last few decades has destroyed any benefit of doubt around their actions. I can only hope that the electoral backlash turns out to be as nasty as it appears now.

I'm listening to Tucker and Malone right now. Malone wants to turn the Establishment inside out. I'm for it.

Another interesting article--what this guy is describing will be aggravated by everything we're currently seeing. Which is good news:

Interesting article that connects with the above:

Ontario Premier Doug Ford is in for a rude awakening by declaring war on Canadian truckers

Doug Ford gifted Ontarians the prospect of some freedom with one hand, but then struck freedom-loving Ontarians in the gut with the other.

So who is this guy? He is supposedly a "Conservative" (well, at least by party) and to some extent presented himself as a Trump supporter and fan in the past:

So was he a plant for controlling opposition? Or does he just have a political death wish now? Who might be putting the screws to him? I'm interested in hearing any Canadian perspectives, especially.
