– Whoopi Goldberg and other celebrity elites blasted Democratic West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin for not supporting the pork-laden “Build Back Better” plan. They called him a hick and a cracker and made fun of West Virginia. Retribution was swift from that state. Cracker Barrels there pulled from their shelves all DVDs of Whoopi’s seminal works, “Sister Act One,” “Sister Act Two” and “Boys on the Side.”

– The omicron variant followed the delta variant of COVID. Instead of trusting the Centers for Disease Control, we might need to ask the Inter-Fraternity Council to weigh in. On the bright side, omicron does not seem to be nearly as lethal as previous COVID variants.

And no one is immune. Sen. Elizabeth Warren got COVID; she briefly changed her Indian name to “Running Fever.”

The survival rate of this latest strain of COVID is exponentially higher than being on a movie set with Alec Baldwin.

– Somehow, Baldwin “accidentally” shoots an innocent mother on his movie set. Brooklyn Center, Minn., Police Officer Kim Potter accidentally shoots a criminal who was resisting arrest. She is convicted and will be incarcerated for years; Baldwin is doing talk shows. Quite a world the left has created.
