It dropped to 19 F last night, about as cold as we usually get in winter. Why at the politics so frosty? NYT (cited at Haut Hair), On voting rights, Dems say they had to go down swinging. And go down they did. John Sexton catches ex-con Ana Navarro to Jen Psaki: How can the next election be legitimate if election reforms haven't passed? Althouse notes "[State voting] laws — like that recently passed in Georgia — are far from the nightmares that Dems have described, and contain some expansion of access to voting. A reminder from Charlotte Cuthburtson at ET, Noncitizen Voting Push Is Part of Agenda to Rid America of Citizenship. At RCI Frank Miele for RealClearPolitics accuses Democrats of Cheapening The Vote: The Other Inflation. Jerry Newcombe at Town Hall, 'Free to Vote' Should Not Mean 'Free to Cheat'.

David Frum at the Slantic claims Georgia Is on a Path to Potentially Prosecuting Trump. In his dreams. Ken Blackwell at Town Hall, Biden: It’s Not Who Can Vote, But Who Gets to Count the Vote. And in far too many important place Democrat hacks count the vote without accountability, and Biden and other Democrats fear that might change. At Mediaite, Josh Hawley Says ‘Democrats Don’t Accept Elections That They Don’t Win’. An overgeneralization with a grain of truth. NYPo ed board, Biden-Harris outrageously join the ‘war on democracy.’
Jazz Shaw at Haut Hair, Sinema to be censured by her own party in Arizona?. There's a certain symmetry there, with Liz Cheney being censored in hers. Rebecca Downs at Town Hall sees Why the Loss of Donors for Kyrsten Sinema is So Ironic. She supported to filibuster to save abortion? OK.
At Fox, Psaki vents about Biden admin's 'devastating' week, "'Have a margarita' "Federal voting legislation and a proposed change to the filibuster process failed to pass the Senate earlier this week."
During an appearance on ABC's "The View," Psaki lamented the Senate voting down proposed federal voting legislation, as well as a move to scrap the Senate filibuster, and encouraged angry supporters to "go to a kickboxing class" and "have a margarita" over the weekend before continuing the fight.
At PM, Psaki offers advice to Americans angry over so-called 'voting rights' legislation: 'Go to a kickboxing class. Have a margarita!'

Capt. Ed at Haut Hair has some bad news for Allah, Oh my: Democrat support for Pelosi/Schumer-led Congress crashes by over half. From the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 01.21.22 Don Surber: If You Didn’t Vote For Trump, Shut Up About Biden, also, NBC – Trump 29, Biden 5.

John Sexton at Haut Hair, Andrew Sullivan: Biden is out of touch with political reality
I don’t have the same faith in Biden’s character that Sullivan does. I remember him using race as a political cudgel before he was president, so I don’t think his speech in Georgia was really that surprising. But I do think there’s some sense in which Biden seems almost hopelessly isolated from reality. The people surrounding him are more progressive than he was on the campaign trail. Maybe if he were younger and more energetic he’d push back on whatever Ron Klain is whispering in his ear, but as it stands Biden seems to be riding the wave of leftist enthusiasm and he’s paying a price for it.
Nicholas Ballasy at JTN, Biden first-year failures set stage for civil war between moderate and progressive Democrats. Matthew Continetti at NR, Joe Biden Doesn’t Know What You’re Talking About. To be fair, he doesn't seem to know what he's talking about, either. From the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 01.21.22 , the Weasel Zippers, White House Staffer Starts SCREAMING To Make Sure Biden Doesn’t Answer Any Reporter Questions… "Too funny."

But, increasingly, he’s under scrutiny for the state of the presidency." At Breitbart, Infighting: Joe Biden’s Chief of Staff Ron Klain Accused of Hidin’ Biden. Capt. Ed, Today's big media question: Can Biden reset his presidency while Klain remains? Wouldn't it be easier for Ron Klain to get a new Preznit?
Paul Bedard at WaEx, Voters reject Hillary Clinton, saying she would lose to Biden and Trump. Jackie Cushman, Independents Rule and Will Continue to Do So, so we will continue to be controlled by the least well informed.

At Da Mail, Furious parents call for teacher to be fired after she was photographed TAPING a mask to 'mortified' student's face in Pennsylvania. "After an immediate investigation, it was determined that while the incident was isolated and no malice was intended, the actions of the teacher were entirely inappropriate and unacceptable, no matter the context.'" At WaEx, Noncitizens lead recall of 'woke' San Francisco school board members. Is it possible they care more than our citizens? Sadly, yes. At PM, 'ParentGate' initiative launched to impeach Biden's AG, Education Secretary over targeting of concerned parents
At CNN, A running list of who the January 6 committee has subpoenaed or requested to appear. Political harassment. Paul Bedard reports Trump is particularly incensed by focus on Ivanka, Don Jr., and Eric 'Very unfair': Trump decries. Waiting for Hunter and Pelosi's son to face their turn.
At JTN, Trump says he authorized National Guard before Jan. 6, but Pelosi 'turned it down', "Former president said he wanted up to 20,000 guard members in D.C. on Jan. 6." She rather the issue. Does that make her complicit in Ashli Babbitt's death? At ET, Ashli Babbitt Pleaded With Police to Call for Backup Moments Before She Was Shot and Killed, "Trump supporter jumped up and down, waved hands in frustration at motionless officers: "Call...help!"" At PM, Rabbi who spent 5 minutes inside Capitol on Jan 6 sentenced to confinement, probation. Tristan Justice at Da Fed catches NPR Publishing a Hit Piece On Advocates Seeking Due Process For J6 Detainees. NPR delenda est (along with PBS).
WSJ claims Oath Keepers Cached Weapons for Jan. 6 Capitol Attack, Prosecutors Say, "Cartloads of arms and ammunition were at the ready at a Virginia hotel, according to an indictment against members of the far-right militia group." Chekov's gun, "Remove everything that has no relevance to the story. If you say in the first chapter that there is a rifle hanging on the wall, in the second or third chapter it absolutely must go off. If it's not going to be fired, it shouldn't be hanging there." Somebody should ask Oath Keeper Ray Epps about that, but I'm not holding my breath. At BPR, Nothing about 2020 riots? Critics yawn over predictable Hollywood movie claiming to depict Jan 6.
Insty, WEIRD HOW THEY NEVER ANNOUNCE THIS ABOUT BLM RALLIES:
Federal officials to monitor Washington anti-vaccine-mandate rally for potential violence and extremist activity. “Defeat the Mandates has attracted the attention of the Department of Homeland Security as well as the U.S. Capitol Police, both of which have circulated intelligence bulletins in recent days assessing the potential for violence stemming from Sunday’s march. As of Friday, none of the reports obtained by Yahoo News concerning the event have cited evidence of specific or credible threats linked to it.”
But they’ll treat it like a terrorist gathering anyway. They really don’t like it when the normies get uppity.
Maybe they should pass out margaritas.
