‘You comply because you want it to end. But because you comply, it will never end.’ The realworld of dealing with autocracies.
George Rebane
“There’s nothing partisan about seeking the truth.” Thus spake Nancy Pelosi, one of the all-time duplicitous lying politicians of our times, as she rejected the nomination of GOP Reps Jim Banks and Jim Jordan to the Dems’ 6jan21 House investigation committee. That statement is just the most recent pernicious play on the intellects of leftwing voters across the land.
Minority Leader McCarthy responds to Pelosi by promising to pull all Republicans out of her committee, and launch a parallel GOP investigation of 6 January. This will show the country how the ‘honorables’ of Congress play the game, kabuki performances all around. These two will produce diametrically opposite non-partisan truths, and let the people pick which they like the best. Something for everyone, what’s not to like?
[22jul21 update] The 25th Amendment was clearly adopted for the sad condition of President Biden’s mental state as witnessed by his recent townhall performance on CNN. (here) It unbelievable how little he can do in public without his pre-printed notecards. The fact that there is no discernible effort to remove him means that he is totally in control of his handlers and, therefore, continues to serve a useful purpose, and/or not even Democrats want their idiot VP to ascend to the position. But then again, in that case Nancy would be a heartbeat away from 1600.
[23jul21 update] Leftwing educator Mollie Mowat takes Union columnist Terry McLaughlin to task (here) for her recent abundantly researched column on CRT (here). The woman understands nothing of McLaughlin’s column as she adequately displays generous helpings of her own ignorance and bias. She illustrates the level of knowledge and scholarship so common in the ranks of unionized public school teachers. And as expected from a progressive autocrat, she ends her screed with a wistful wish that opposing voices like McLaughlin’s be silenced in our media – “As a former teacher and lifelong educator, I am saddened that she is allowed to continue a frankly ignorant and racist rhetoric.”
[24jul21 update] Bumblebrain’s exit. Given his visible daily decline, even some Dems are now beginning to realize that he might not last. I’m starting a contest for readers to predict the date when our next president gets sworn in. Submit your entries as a 4-tuple [Earliest date, Latest date, Most likely date, Confidence (0 to 1) that the date will be near Most likely date] or just a 2-tuple [Earliest date, Latest date]. Some of you may recall that these four parameters also define a MAB distribution (here). The entrant whose MAB has the highest likelihood value at the actual swear in date wins. As a prize I will send a $1,000 check to the winner’s favorite 501c3 charity. Entries must be submitted before 1 September 2021, earliest received entry resolves ties.
[25jul21 update] Big pharmas are now racing for a C19 therapeutic pill (here and here) while the reporting media completely ignore widespread uses of cheap, established, and widely available hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin anti-virals as both a preventative and a therapeutic. Informing readers on the global experience with HCQ and IVT would be useful since in the west the use of these drugs has been rejected and vilified. One wonders how these developments stand on the shoulders of (repackaged?) HCQ/IVT.
Fraudulent C19 stats have been promoted with the year-long use of PCR tests to ascribe C19 cases. The CDC is now pulling the use of these tests since we’ve known from the start that they can’t differentiate between SARS-CoV-2 (the C19 virus) and influenza (here). The resulting damage from the use of such confused data is yet to be determined. The politicization of everything to do with the C19 pandemic continues to destroy the credibility of our formerly sacrosanct institutions. The medical community adds itself to our already TDS-tainted intelligence services, crime fighting agencies, judicial system, and, of course, the terminally tainted lamestream news media.
