There is tons of money for groups connected to corrupt politicians, though. To fight gendered toys and stereotypes, a proposed California law would prohibit department stores with more than 500 employees from dividing products for children by gender.

First Dave discusses the social media purge and Donald Trump being banned from Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Shopify, TikTok, Instagram and more. Is anyone else frightened by how much power these tech giants have to silence and unperson any one of us? Joe Biden has revealed how diversity and inclusion ideas will affect who gets government money to rebuild.

It has also come to light that Kristen Clarke, his pick to lead the DOJ’s civil rights division, held bizarre racist beliefs in college where she wrote about black supremacy.

Meanwhile in New York a bill has been proposed that would give the state the power to detain anyone it suspects of being infected with a contagious disease. The bill was originally written during the last Ebola scare, but its resurfacing during COVID will not reassure anyone concerned about government overreach and potential abuse of power.

Meanwhile despite most people wearing a face mask, destructive lockdowns, and a coronavirus vaccine rollout Anthony Fauci doesn’t think we will see normalcy until fall 2021. What happened to two weeks to flatten the curve? Is it any wonder why people don’t trust science as much as our leaders would wish?

Among the specifics that were voted on was an anti-family passage about it’s commitment to “disrupting the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure” as well as teaching children about white privilege and other divisive woke beliefs.

Joe Biden’s cabinet is also taking shape and bears a striking similarity with Barack Obama’s cabinet with 12 of 16 posts being former Obama staffers. Meanwhile Ryan Grim at The Intercept has obtained Joe Biden leaked audio from a Zoom call he had with civil rights leaders where he explicitly blamed the “defund the police” slogan for the losses Democrats suffered in the House and Senate elections and warned them to not discuss police reform before the Georgia runoff election is over.

Both Robert Reich and David Frum seem to be in agreement that after Donald Trump’s presidency we should focus on finding anyone to blame for it.
