I am not the renowned chronicler of all things Florida Man, Stephen Green, but it does seem as if Jonathan Guerra Blanco nevertheless deserves a place among the Florida Men, as he is among the first-ever jihad terrorists to join the hallowed ranks. Omar Mateen, who murdered 49 people in the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando on behalf of the Islamic State in 2016, was the first, or at very least the most horrifically effective.

North Korea accused of using COVID-19 to crack down on human rights
North Korea is using the coronavirus pandemic to crack down even more on its people, seven members of the United Nations Security Council said.
Germany, Britain, France, Belgium, Estonia, the United States and the Dominican Republic made the accusation Friday during a private, virtual meeting, Reuters reported.
“The DPRK’s human rights violations pose an imminent threat to international peace and security. The DPRK government diverts resources away from its people to its illicit ballistic missile and nuclear programs,” the seven countries said in a statement.

Freed by the vaccine? Don’t hold your breath
The promise of vaccination has been used, not to liberate us, but to keep us locked down for longer.
Ninety-year-old Margaret Keenan will be the answer to a pub-quiz question for years to come: who was the first person in the UK to be vaccinated against Covid-19? The answer to the question ‘Who was the second person in the UK to be vaccinated against Covid-19?’ might be, too.
Our political opponents are vicious, but they’re also crazy
This is my day for reminding conservatives that one of the things that will work in our favor over the long run is the fact that leftists are crazy. In the short term, that makes them dangerous opponents because they have no morals or natural stopping points. In the long term, however, they cannot sustain their impetus. People this insane eventually implode (although the implosions are ugly and can have far-reaching effects).
Preliminarily, let me remind you that leftists are, in fact, insane.
‘Leaks are dangerous & irresponsible’? CNN journalist misses sarcasm & agrees all Biden news must be vetted by OFFICIAL sources
CNN White House correspondent April Ryan is laying down the law about how Joe Biden should be covered after leaked audio suggested the nominal president-elect isn’t on board with the agenda that helped him win progressive votes.
Ryan suggested that someone must have had a nefarious reason to leak a recording of Biden’s teleconference earlier this week with civil rights leaders, in which he complained that the “defund the police” movement had hurt Democrats with voters and warned that he wouldn’t use executive orders to enact a slew of progressive policies.
Trump supporters chant ‘Destroy the GOP’ near White House while protesting loss to Biden
Nick Fuentes, a far-right commentator among the Trump supporters rallying Saturday in Washington, D.C., led a group of fellow protesters there in calling for the destruction of the Republican Party.
Several protesters in red “Make America Great Again” baseball caps displaying President Trump’s campaign slogan were among a group of more than a dozen caught on video chanting “Destroy the GOP!”
Not such a bad idea.
Facebook faces most serious breakup threat yet from lawsuits
The twin lawsuits filed against Facebook this week by the government and more than 40 attorneys general are the most serious effort to break the social media giant up to date.
The cases, which differ slightly, focus on the allegation that Facebook made acquisitions in an effort to decrease competition in the social network marketplace and ultimately worsened the quality of options available to consumers.
The Federal Trade Commission and 48 state and territory attorneys general propose a solution to that issue: divestiture.
Why We Question The Election Results
Doubt over the election is widely dismissed as crankery, but skepticism of the media elite narrative is hardly unwarranted.
Americans’ trust in government and the media has collapsed. Two months before the presidential election, only 20 percent of Americans trusted the federal government to “do the right thing” most of the time, according to a Pew Research Center survey. It is unlikely that trust in the government will rebound any time soon, in part because of how the 2020 election was conducted and because the news media has obliterated much of the tattered remnants of its credibility since 2016. Instead, the question is: how much lower can Americans’ trust fall in the political system without a total collapse of legitimacy?
Tucker Carlson Says ‘Vacuous Idiot’ Ocasio-Cortez Could Win The Presidency In 2024 If Wealth Gap Keeps Expanding
Fox News host Tucker Carlson called Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a “vacuous idiot” who could potentially run for and win the presidency in 2024 if the wealth gap in the United States keeps expanding.
Carlson made the comments during his Friday night “Tucker Carlson Tonight” monologue, but preceded it by a suggestion that those “who benefited the most” from the COVID-19 lockdowns — large companies like Walmart, Apple, Goldman Sachs, Netflix and Google — pay for “the effects of those lockdowns” instead of taxpayers who will be negatively impacted by inflation.
Pope commits Vatican to net zero carbon emissions by 2050 – Sets Up Carbon Indulgence Market For Climate Sinners
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) – Pope Francis urged countries on Saturday to work towards net zero carbon emissions and committed Vatican City – the world’s smallest state – to reaching the target by 2050.
Francis, who has championed environmental causes since his election in 2013, told a U.N. climate summit the 108-acre (44-hectare) city-state surrounded by Rome would be doing its bit to fight climate change.
WARMINGTON: Peel’s top cop vows to throw book at vandals behind police station attack

John Ivison: Liberals’ climate plan comes with too much of the messianic message
As George Orwell once said of Christianity and socialism, the worst advertisement for environmentalism is its adherents.
In particular, Justin Trudeau in full messianic flow is enough to make even the most ecologically conscious among us request a plastic bag next time we go to the supermarket.
It’s theft.
