China’s nationwide Covid lockdowns. Does anyone have any reasonable explanation for this supremely stupid policy that will NOT avoid the inevitable nationwide pandemic, destroys the nation’s economy, and gives rise to riots that increase popular opposition to the CCP and its governments? All pandemics will end through herd immunity – natural or vaccine mediated. There are no effective Covid vaccines, and none on the horizon. When the lockdowns are inevitably lifted, the disease will rage just like it has everywhere else.
More black mayors celebrated. As Jason Riley points out here in the 30nov22 WSJ, the worst thing that can happen to a city or community is to elect a black mayor. America’s decades old record of such unfortunate election outcomes clearly demonstrates a strong correlation of economic downturn and soaring crime rates when leftwing black community governance is ensconced. And yet they keep doing it, while bitching about everything from police brutality, horrible public education, to racist allocation of state and federal largesse to the local weal. The motto of our black communities has long been ‘vote the same, then expect change’.
The League of Women Voters is a partisan Democrat shill. Looking at the political affiliation of its members over the last decades demonstrates its firm position in America’s progressive politics. Things in the LWV started turning left in the 1970s when Jo Ann was on the board of the Ventura County LWV. Having early lost credibility as unbiased sponsor of national presidential debates, the organization pulled in its horns to focus on non-partisan bamboozles delivered at the local levels. And today, Ms Fran Cole, head of the Nevada County LWV, attempts a ludicrous counter argument in the 30nov22 Union – ‘Let’s set the record straight; the League of Women Voters is a political non-partisan organization’. In it she goes on to twist the record into a pretzel, following the well-established Alinsky model in the Democrats’ communication kit. For openers she argues that today’s overwhelmingly leftwing LWV members can set aside their political proclivities and provide unbiased reporting on issues and conduct similarly neutral candidate forums. The latter is contradicted by legions of Republican candidates in recent years who have refused to take part in such one-sided kabukis. The former is something unknown in the field of psychology, and not accepted as unbiased by any broad-based audience (starting with the leftwingers themselves).
