The latest 2nd Amendment attack is in progress.  HR127 has been introduced in the House (here).  The high hard one starts with, “The Attorney General, through the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, shall establish a system for licensing the possession of firearms or ammunition in the United States, and for the registration with the Bureau of each firearm present in the United States.”  From there it gets worse, in Sec (c)(1)(A) the law would require all Americans possessing firearms to have each one registered, each type of ammunition registered, pass a criminal background check, pass a psychological evaluation, successfully complete a training course, and take out a special firearms insurance policy.  This is called constructive abrogation of the 2nd Amendment.  From there it is one short step to subsequent prohibition and “surrendering” of select firearms since their owners and locations will be known by the feds.  Violation of any of the bill’s strictures carry long minimum prison sentences and fines that will leave the overwhelming fraction of Americans destitute.  The total disarming of law-abiding American citizens is the goal.  Criminals, illegal aliens, terrorists, … will not be affected.

How the Democrats killed thousands of Americans, and many others elsewhere, is now coming to light.  Starting in the spring of 2020, the Dems and their lamestream lackies strongly opposed Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and Ivermectin for use against C19. (example here)  Why?  Because President Trump spoke hopefully about the effectiveness of HCQ as demonstrated in the EU, Africa, and Asia.  The Democrat Death machine would have nothing get in the way of their narrative that the Trump administration was mismanaging the country’s C19 response – high body counts were the gold standard for their allegations.  If thousands had to die in order to keep their election-year imperative a viable issue (they had no other policies to offer) in the daily news, then so be it – it was all for the greater omelet, and more than a few eggs needed to be cracked.  Well, it turns out that these well-established medicines have proven to be huge lifesavers around the world (more here), and now that Biden is in office, even the FDA is putting HCQ on its approval list (here).  HCQ has proven very effective as a therapeutic in the early stages of C19, and Ivermectin is probably the hands down champion cheap drug for both prevention and treatment of C19.  Since the US is seen as the leader in C19 response policies, the death counts, when totaled with other countries similarly delaying the use of these drugs, may number in the millions.  Collectivist politics über alles – historically, whatever they touch is followed by death and desolation.  (There are other news references to this revisionist policy which I'll dig out later.)

[2feb21 update]  Re the efficacy of politically incorrect medicines like HCQ and Ivermectin for C19 prevention and treatment, we had a routine visit with our physician today and the conversation inevitably turned to the pandemic.  We talked extensively about alternative prophylactics and therapeutics to the anti-viral Remdesivir and the recently developed vaccines.  To make a long story short, our physician and colleagues have for months now been taking a daily dose of HCQ.  He confirmed that almost all we’ve heard about the pandemic and the ‘science’ behind the response policies is utter bullshit.  We will now join him in this regimen and get our first vaccination shot next week.  Our litigious justice system, abetted by the corporatists’ social media and the Democrats’ lamestream, advise against the broad dissemination of this knowledge, but it does not prohibit their practicing ‘Physician, heal thyself!’

[3feb21 update]  More on the Democrat C19 killing machine.  The 3feb21 WSJ reports (here) on corporatist YouTube’s recent censorship of critical lifesaving testimony to the Senate’s Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs – “(Google's YouTube) censors testimony from physicians on early treatment for Covid-19 patients.”  At that hearing two medical experts gave evidence of the efficacy of alternative medicines in the treatment of C19, one of which was Ivermectin. Dr Pierre Kory reported on the most recently published clinical study of that medicine involving 1,200 healthcare workers, 800 of whom received Ivermectin and 400 received a placebo.  Subsequently, none of the 800 contracted C19 while 58% of the 400 did.  The Democrat-led warpath against Trump has kept America’s healthcare institutions on tenterhooks to do nothing that would draw the wrath of leftwing politicos and their lamestream legions.  As a result, America early on rejected regimens using safe and established medicines that could have saved thousands of lives and mitigated the draconian lockdowns that have destroyed so much of our economy – all to support their drumbeat narrative of Trump’s mishandling the country’s response to the pandemic.

    Georgia GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said today that she’ll be meeting with former President Donald Trump soon at his Mar-a-Lago resort in South Florida, POLITICO reports.
    “I’m excited to go visit him soon and continue to give him a call and talk to him frequently,” Greene told One America News on Monday. “Great news is, he supports me 100 percent, and I’ve always supported him. President Trump is always here for the people, and he’s not going anywhere. So I look forward to, to joining him and what his future plans may be.”

    Dear Dark Days Diary. Remember when that Wingnut Professor Guru from Harvard said that homeschooling should be illegal? Yes, folks such as moi mocked that wet brain idea.
    Germany has banned homeschooling. Any contrary version of Western Civilization or it’s history and influence is not to be allowed. Must be squashed. Homeschooling is a threat, a very big threat, to our Marxist Leftinistas version of the history of white man bad.
    Newsflash: All cultures of the world held slaves. Africans, Native Americans, Asians, Aztecs, Muslims, etc. The big difference is that unlike many former slave holding countries of the World, iAmerica brought freedom. Freedom. Oh, how a free man and an enslaved man loves that word. Freedom.
    Hate to break it to the Lefties, but WASPS brought something berry berry good to America; freedoms. It was mostly White Anglo-Saxon Protestants that founded this country and brought The Good to the New World. Now, the most demonized person in America is currently the White heterosexual Protestant male.
    Strike the last sentence. What could be worse than a WASP? A Jew? A Pedi? ? Nope. What is worse than a WASP is a white heterosexual Protestant male that is a police officer!
    Now, what could possibly be more worse than that? A pedophile? Nope.
    Answer: what is worse than a heterosexual WASP is a married white heterosexual Protestant male who is married, has six children, and his lovely stay at home wife who homeschools the kids! They are the true threat to the Marxist Leftinista Command and Control. They believe in and cherish freedom. Ban them, demonize them, silence them, and erase them.

    Dear Dark Days Diary. Daily quotes go here.
    Insight: “Justice in the hands of the powerful is merely a governing system like any other. Why call it justice? Let us rather call it injustice, but of a sly effective order, based entirely on cruel knowledge of the resistance of the weak, their capacity for pain, humiliation and misery.” —Georges Bernanos (1888-1948)
    Re: The Left: “One way politicians have convinced many Americans to accept [the abortion] agenda is to repeat the lie that the life in the womb isn’t a life at all. It is merely a ‘clump of cells.’ That kind of dehumanization against whole classes of people is what made slavery and the Jim Crow era possible, along with a long list of other human atrocities throughout the world’s history.” —Kay C. James
    Inquisitive minds want to know: “Can you imagine how loudly [Rachel] Maddow, Chuck Todd and the hypocritical civil libertarians at the New York Times editorial page would have howled if Trump had brought 15,000 armed troops into D.C. for any reason — including a parade? He sent a few busloads of soldiers to protect a federal courthouse in Seattle from being torched by rioters last year and he was called Hitler Junior.” —Michael Reagan
    For the record: “An administration that wanted to pursue unity might observe that 77% of Americans — including a majority of Democrats and 85% of independents — don’t want taxpayer dollars to fund foreign abortions.” —Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell
    Observations: “James Madison thought the legislature would be insatiable, steadily accumulating power. Instead, it is the least self-respecting branch, led by people who identify with the interests of presidents and their own parties over and above the interests of their own institution. … [Chuck] Schumer has urged Biden to declare a national climate emergency because it would allow him to do things ‘without legislation.’ This would be like Chief Justice John Roberts giving Biden advice on how to pack the Supreme Court — except it’s unimaginable that a Supreme Court justice would be so openly disdainful of the legitimacy and prerogatives of his or her own institution.” —Rich Lowry
    Friendly fire: “This kind of broad, inflammatory rhetoric is like throwing a match into the tinderbox.” —Tulsi Gabbard regarding Nancy Pelosi’s “the enemy is within the House of Representatives” drivel
    Demo-gogue: “We have one goal: big, bold change in America. … [There are] three huge issues we have to do: climate … racial and economic inequality … and improving our democracy. Making DC a state, automatic voter registration, getting rid of Citizens United, all the things embodied in HR 1.” —Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer
    Non compos mentis I: “I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. [Long pause.] Undervisible. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. [Long pause.] For which it stands. One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” —Los Angeles councilman Kevin “30-Magazine Clip in Half a Second” de Leόn
    Non compos mentis II: “I always feel like if aliens ever really exist and they come and attack us, it’s because we destroyed the planet. That would be our punishment.” —MSNBC’s Joy Reid
    Uh, yeah, it is: “Sending kids back to school this year is so fraught with anxiety and uncertainty. Why not just have everyone repeat the year? Is that such a far out idea?” —Joy Behar
    Village idiot: “I’ll never forgive the people that voted for [Trump], ever. I have an angry place inside of me now. I hope it doesn’t kill me.” —Nancy Sinatra
    And last… “I don’t get capitalism bashing. Every once in a while a pipe bursts, but usually people aren’t dumb enough to then use that as a call to end indoor plumbing.” —Frank J. Fleming

    Now come the ten Republicans — Senators Rob Portman, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Bill Cassidy, Mitt Romney, Shelley Moore Capito, Todd Young, Jerry Moran, Mike Rounds, and Thom Tillis. Their plan is far smaller than the Democrats’ — about $600 billion. It does not include the minimum wage proposal. It would send smaller checks to individual Americans — $1,000 instead of $1,400. And it recognizes that Congress passed a huge relief measure in December — $900 billion — and much of that money, as well as some of the relief money passed in March 2020, hasn’t been spent yet. Perhaps Congress should not be piling on new billions in spending until the previously-approved billions have been spent.

    re: HCQ
    Dr Rebane. You may be pleased to know that FB Supreme Court has reversed its ban on a French Doctor who touted HCQ. The FB Supreme Court. based decision on loosening what is called ‘misinformation.’
    Morning Steve. As I understand it (and from previous Rebane writings), that HCQ has never been touted as a cure for COVID. HCQ (here and other places) has been touted as a treatment for those in the very early stages of C-19 to relieve symptoms. It has not been promoted as effective for those with severe respiratory illnesses or those in are in the throes of full blown later stages of C—19. It has been shown in to work as a preventative measure combined with zinc in some trials and with some medical doctors administrating it their patients. A plus has been it reduces the duration and more severe symptoms of C-19 IF taken early enough during the cycle, if not before. Don’t know what they gave President Trump or Pence, but Trump was hitting on all eight cylinders after 3 days.
    In addition, the Ohio Pharmaceutical Board has also reversed its stance somewhat on HCQ, albeit because of some pressure from the Ohio Governor. The Board’s reasoning is that taking/recommending HCQ is between the doctor and the patient and requires a prescription anyway.
    I do know someone who has been on it for years because she has had Lupus since her pre-teen years. She is now about 71 or 72 with a totally compromised immune system. Knowing how she throws big potlucks consistently for neighbors and friends and visiting family members of all ages (and from various regions of the US), I am amazed she has not caught C-19 as those living closest to her and her most frequent visitors have been exposed to C-19. I suppose with her other problems beside Lupus, bad ticker, one critical internal organ failing, and diabetes, she has not caught the Wuhan China Virus. Maybe being a germaphobe by nature has something to do with it. Or maybe.. HCQ..
    Anyway, stay warm and you guys can/will duke it out.

    Note: the AMA has NOT reversed its position on HCQ, contrary to a internet rumor.
    I am sooooo excited about the J&J vaccine. When you dig into the data, it’s across all age groups, all ethnicities, even some with HIV; tens of thousands across 3 continents (N and S America and South Africa), and when you dig into the data (66% effective, which seems no good at first glance) you will find after 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 49 days that the hospitalization and death rates are pretty near zero, even with the HIV patients. Single shot. Works not on RNA , but DNA after the initial non spreading cold virus hits the protein and dies. Haven’t we always said that inside of working on the outside of the protein, we need to get inside? Yes. DNA Baby
    Is that not which is most important? Hospitalization and death rates? It’s what it is all about when you boil it down. The 66% efficiency rate includes those who have one or two or even a combination of the symptoms of C-C-19. One can still catch C-19 with J&J, but unlikely to get so bad as to be hospitalized or die. Storage is just a little under freezing. And only the placebo groups complained of side effects of their saline solution injections, lol. Get sick, not need to go to ER or die. Sweet.
    Off topic, but may post links on Sandbox later.
    BTW, the expert they had on CNN (and another Lib outlet) said yesterday he got misquoted…biggy. After a twenty minute interview, the Lamestream edited it down to a sound bite which has him appearing to give it the thumbs down. He said that is the opposite of what he was saying….

    Kinda on topic under the general heading of Dark Days Diary. Very dark and gloomy, like Trump’s Inauguration speech four years ago. 🙂
    Dear Dark Days Diary. Another good but longer than usual VDH piece. Last paragraph:
    ‘Self-righteous progressives believe they put up with and suffer on behalf of us—and thus their irrational fury and hate for the irredeemables and conservative minorities spring from being utterly unappreciated by clueless serfs who should properly worship their betters.”
    ‘Why Are Progressives So Illiberal?’
    Progressives adopted identity politics and rejected class considerations because solidarity with elite minorities excuses them from concern for, or experience with, the middle classes of all races.

    ‘Why the Left Has to Suppress Free Speech’
    “Leftism is venerated by intellectuals. But there is little intellectual substance to leftism. It is a combination of doctrine and emotion. The proof? Those with intellectual depth do not stifle dissent; they welcome it.
    That is why universities are so opposed to conservatives coming to speak on campus. One articulate conservative can undo years of left-wing indoctrination in a one-hour talk or Q and A. I know this from personal experience on campuses. You can, too. Watch the speeches given by any conservatives allowed to speak on a campus — many of these talks are still on YouTube — and you will see large halls filled with students yearning to hear something other than left-wing pablum. Look at their faces, filled with rapt attention to ideas they never heard that are clearly having an impact. Universities are entirely right to fear our coming to speak. We come with the pin that bursts their $50,000-a-year balloon.“….
    “ Leftists do not debate us or appear as guests on our shows and prevent us from speaking whenever possible, because they (correctly) fear conservatives. Race-baiters such as Ibram X. Kendi or Ta-Nehisi Coates or “White Fragility” author Robin DiAngelo would never debate Larry Elder, for example. Why won’t they? Because they would be shown to be the intellectually shallow purveyors of hate they are. Deep down, they know it. Larry Elder is one of many conservative black intellectuals who left-wing blacks (and whites) refuse to debate.
    Now you know why the left suppresses free speech: because they have to. If there is free speech, there is dissent. And if there is dissent, there is no more left.“

    Yup,, it looks like the Left wants a high body count. Not a cure. Gotta get FED bucks to LIB contributing BIG Pharma.
    That way they can give those grants back to LIBs in the form of campaign donations.
    Now we have six or seven mutations of the Kung Flu.
    Basement Biden and his string pullers will work to stipe more freedoms from us in the name of “safety”.
    It’s all about control… You know,, Socialism hidden in plain sight.

    OOppsss…. It’s already started.. The FED “mask” special agents.
    “The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) latest order, requiring individuals to wear masks when using public transportation or residing in transportation hubs, will be “further enforced by other federal authorities,” the agency announced in its order, which went into effect this week.”
    OK Lefties,, explain just who these “other” FED authorities are.

    WTF?? ,,”reality Czar”?,, Have LIBS really gone off the rails?
    ” New York Times quoting experts who want a ‘reality czar’ appointed by the Biden administration to address ‘misinformation.’”
    https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/02/technology/biden-reality-crisis-misinformation.html
    ““It’s really important that we have a holistic understanding of what the spectrum of violent extremism looks like in the United States, and then allocate resources accordingly,” said William Braniff, a counterterrorism expert and professor at the University of Maryland.
    Joan Donovan, the research director of Harvard University’s Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy, suggested that the Biden administration could set up a “truth commission,” similar to the 9/11 Commission, to investigate the planning and execution of the Capitol siege on Jan. 6. This effort, she said, would ideally be led by people with deep knowledge of the many “networked factions” that coordinated and carried out the riot, including white supremacist groups and far-right militias.”
    We are in deep shit with Neo Coms trying to run America.

    Might be on topic under [3feb21 update] More on the Democrat C19 [job] killing machine?
    DEMOCRATIC GOVERNORS HAVE DEVASTATED THEIR STATES
    Over the past year, there has been a pretty clear divide between liberal governors, who almost without exception imposed irrationally harsh covid lockdown measures, and conservative governors, who generally took a more nuanced and pro-freedom approach. The data are now in, courtesy of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and they tell a story that cannot be misinterpreted.

    Bottomline:
    “The political correlation is stark. What states have fared the worst during the Wuhan epidemic? We can give Hawaii a pass, since its tourist industry was crushed. But the poorest-performing states are all blue, with liberal governors in most cases notorious for their extreme shutdown policies: Michigan, New York (the ultimate covid disaster state), Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Minnesota, California, New Jersey, Delaware, Oregon.
    Conversely, the best-performing states are red, generally if not always with Republican governors: Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, Nebraska, South Carolina, Indiana, Arkansas, Arizona, South Dakota, Montana, Missouri, Tennessee. It would be hard to imagine a clearer pattern of success vs. failure.
    And the blue states gained nothing, in terms of public health, in exchange for the devastation their governors wreaked on their citizens. As everyone knows, in terms of Wuhan fatalities, Florida has outperformed New York. Likewise, Georgia has outperformed New Jersey, South Carolina has outperformed Michigan, South Dakota has outperformed Massachusetts, and so on.”

    We all knew that. Just needed more confirmation to add to the mountain of evidence.
