Quick Hits: Volume CCLXXXI

- This past fall, members of the mounted patrol at the southern U.S. border were accused of using whips to control Haitian migrants. Given that D.C. elites can barely spell "reins" much less understand how they're used when riding horseback, Press Secretary Jen Psaki immediately condemned the actions (based on video footage and still photos) of the mounted patrol as "horrible" and "horrific" without the slightest concept of what was actually occurring. 


So once an investigation occurred and the border agents were cleared of any wrongdoing, Psaki certainly issued a mea culpa on behalf of the Biden administration for jumping to conclusions, right? 





Her excuse for not apologizing was that the Dept. of Homeland Security has yet to "announce any conclusion of that investigation." Ah, but Little Red Lying Hood Psaki had no such reservations last fall when casting aspersions before the initial investigation even occurred. 


You're gonna make a perfect MSNBC hack, Jen. 



 - On Monday, a federal judge based in Florida ruled that the Biden administration's mask mandate for  airlines and all other public transportation was unconstitutional. Within hours, the TSA announced they would not enforce said mandate and multiple major airlines also indicated masks were now "optional." 


Like Elon Musk's proposal to buy Twitter, the overturning of the mask mandate is exposing the utter derangement of "progressives" in that another "safe space" is being upended.


With each passing day, we're seeing more and more chilling signs of what could happen if progs ever attain the absolute power they desire. 



- With the Fox News late night program Gutfeld! providing a rare (and welcome) exception, there is definitely a dearth of comedic conservative content on prime time and late night TV. Admittedly it's difficult for there to be a conservative version of, say, The Daily Show, given that it's near impossible to satirize a movement (i.e. leftism) that is so self-parodying. 


Here's a classic example: 





Obvious satire, right?


Well, not in the eyes of a certain New York Times reporter. 


 



The biggest threat to The Babylon Bees these days? The mainstream media itself.
