Sandbox – 28apr20

28 April 2020

[Autocracy rising, even more. Two California docs dared cross the hallowed political divide of rope-selling capitalists at Google’s YouTube and give a reasoned criticism of California’s C19 lockdown diktat. It made it on to YouTube, and then was promptly taken down by its corporatist toadies. (more here) Meanwhile, Gov Nuisance appears to start seeing a difference between rural and urban counties in his promised new look at how to release the state from its insane economic self-immolation. gjr]

This is what we expect from the Deplorables.
And the Deplorables put out bigly!
CNN)The White House is blocking Dr. Anthony Fauci, a key member of the administration’s coronavirus task force, from testifying on Capitol Hill next week, according to a spokesman from a key House committee.
“The Appropriations Committee sought Dr. Anthony Fauci as a witness at next week’s Labor-HHS-Education Subcommittee hearing on COVID-19 response. We have been informed by an administration official that the White House has blocked Dr. Fauci from testifying,” House Appropriations Committee spokesman Evan Hollander said in a statement Friday.
White House deputy press secretary Judd Deere confirmed the decision.

CNN said what? BFD..
Yet in Maine the Gov. turns dictator.
https://www.sunjournal.com/2020/04/28/some-republicans-are-calling-janet-mills-a-dictator/#
” the Legislature has “been shamelessly derelict” in its failure to rein in the governor.
He said it’s allowed her to wield “autocratic and authoritarian powers without opposition” and “to make decisions that are harmful for Mainers.”
“Elected officials have dismissed the Bill of Rights as an irrelevancy, forcibly closed down houses of worship, harassed and threatened worshipers, arrested political protesters, and declared that protests are nonessential,” Lockman wrote. “That is not America.”
Brakey, whom Claxton succeeded in 2018, said the law essentially makes Mills “the de facto dictator of Maine” when she uses its emergency powers to “suspend laws, override budgets, postpone elections and control all private business” in the state.
I bet “kneepads” would love to live there.. But whine about a Dr. not being available to the proggy press.

The chi coms are busted –
A research dossier compiled by the so-called “Five Eyes” intelligence alliance states that China intentionally hid or destroyed evidence of the coronavirus outbreak, resulting in the loss of tens of thousands of lives around the world
The 15-page document from the intelligence agencies of the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Australia and New Zealand, was obtained by Australia’s Daily Telegraph newspaper and states that China’s secrecy amounted to an “assault on international transparency.”
The dossier touches on themes that have been discussed in media reports about the outbreak of the virus, including initial denial that the virus could be transmitted between humans, the silencing or “disappearing” of doctors who tried to speak up, the destruction of evidence in laboratories and refusal to provide live samples to intenational scientists working on a vaccine.
Specifically, the file notes that China began censoring news of the virus on search engines beginning Dec. 31, deleting terms including “SARS variation, “Wuhan Seafood market” and “Wuhan Unknown Pneumonia.”
Three days later, on Jan. 3, China’s National Health Commission, ordered virus samples to be either moved to designated testing facilities or destroyed, while simultaneously enforcing a “no-publication order” related to the disease.

BIDEN’S MISDIRECTION
“However, documents from the Senate’s Office of Fair Employment Practices, which I believe is the shop that would have handled a sexual misconduct complaint, reportedly are governed by a Senate resolution that bars their release for 50 years. Perhaps, though, such documents can be released with the consent of the ex-Senator and the complaining party.
“We probably won’t find out before the election whether Tara Reade formally complained about Joe Biden’s alleged conduct. However, the evidence strongly suggests that she complained about it to family members and friends.
“It doesn’t matter much whether Reade filed a formal complaint. It doesn’t even matter that much whether she complained at all. A complaint isn’t the be-all-end-all in these cases. A person can make a false complaint. It happens a lot. And a person can keep an incident like this to herself.
“However, Biden has focused the inquiry on the issue of whether Reade filed a formal complaint. If one somehow pops up, or if someone credible remembers such a complaint, it will be a blow to Biden. But he seems determined to make sure this doesn’t happen.”

I admit that it’s fun watching the Democratic party and it’s Ladies Auxiliaries in the MSM explain why Joey Fingers is such a great candidate but it’s fairly easy to imagine the planning that’s going on right now.
(1) Send out operatives to cleanse the records, if any.
(2) Make Joey’s innocence based on the presence of a particular record. Invent one if necessary.
At some point, they’ll have to wire him up so that he moves his mouth while synchronizing with a teleprompter and voice talent. Small shocks should do the trick. I figure that small wrist leashes connected to his belt loops should keep his hands in check. After all, the man just has to last long enough to count a giant pile of fake mail-in ballots and the inauguration could be done by simply tying him to a board and having the VP wave President Finger’s arm in time to the music.

My first thought was that Richard Komi was, due to his proclivities, unfamiliar with the female anatomy…. but that doesn’t seem to be the case! My next thought was that the New Hampshire Democrat party needs to tell him to shut up and stop playing amateur gynecologist in the press!

Biden and gynecology – H. Sapiens has been on Earth for hundreds of thousands of years, and his forebears for millions. Does one really need to be a professional (or even an amateur) gynecologist to know exactly the location of the female vagina? Is it not reasonable to believe that almost every married male knows exactly where it is, and how to find it with any part of his body? Why, in this politically correct world where we now even fear cultural “appropriations”, is it necessary to immediately discount, without reason or reflection and with prejudice, an opinion/assertion by someone who doesn’t hold the appropriate diplomas and letters after his name? Just because I’m not an MD doesn’t mean I cannot or should not give a cogent and correct assessment of, say, how a particular drug should be dispensed into a disease prone society. Admittedly, I may have to do some research first to avoid obvious mistakes, but one must always remember that I’m competing with an industry of professionals who kill over 250,000 per year through ‘medical mistakes’. Let the freelance gynecologists opine away.

Kinda like the last ex wife?
“A judge dismissed the U.S. women’s soccer team’s equal pay claim Friday, reminding them that they actually make more than the men’s team.
The U.S. women’s soccer team has been fighting for equal pay for months and sought $66 million in damages. The U.S. soccer federation argued that the women’s team was paid more overall than their male counterparts for the particular time period in dispute.
Although the women’s team claimed that was just because they played more games, Judge R. Gary Klausner disagreed. Klausner reminded the women’s team that they “both played more games and made more money than the MNT [men’s national team] per game,” ”
Then they have the “balls” to claim,
“We will never stop fighting for EQUALITY,” soccer star Megan Rapinoe tweeted after the decision.
The claim for equal pay was also dismissed because the U.S. women’s national team previously “rejected an offer to be paid under the same pay-to-play structure” as the men, according to Klausner.

Kunstler speaks:
“The people of this land have enough trouble in mind — what with livelihoods, careers, businesses, marriages, hopes and dreams circling the drain in the new insta-depression — but let’s hope they have just a little attention left over for the whirlwind denouement of the odious RussiaGate affair, now finally shredding the last defenses of the Deep State’s rogue Intel forces after years of deceit, treachery, and juridical depravity. The beginning of the end is at hand in the malicious prosecution of General Michael Flynn, and, as that’s revealed for the criminal plot it was, all the other threads in this vast tapestry of sedition will unravel.
Why does that even matter anymore, you may wonder? Because so many of our current troubles are mostly due to the culture of pervasive dishonesty America retreated into to avoid the mandates and rigors of reality in the 21st century. It operated in every area of our national life from the racketeering in medicine and higher-ed, to the games we played with our national debt, to the stupendous grift of politics, the futile wars we prosecuted, the idiotic gender conflict and race hustling, and, most flamboyantly, to the lawlessness around the CIA, FBI, and Department of Justice during and after the 2016 election. This was the culture of Anything Goes and Nothing Matters. It has to be defeated if we expect to go on as a credible nation.”
