NYT Peddles Typical Covid Smugness

Coronavirus, Media, Politics / By / September 23, 2021

So, I get daily e-mail updates from the New York Times because I have an account set up with them. I only created the account because I wanted to fisk one of their protected articles a while back. However, I have kept it open because the e-mails are so hilariously biased they are usually good for a chuckle or two. And since the rest of the garbage media invariably follows the Times lead, the daily e-mails perfectly portend what narrative the rest of the idiot talking heads will be trying to push next.

The New York Times whole business model is basically pandering to the smugness of their progressive readers. It is crucial to the progressive psyche to believe that they are smarter and more sophisticated than the hoi polloi in flyover country. Of course, the Times can’t just come out and tell their readers they must be smart because they read the New York Times and can regurgitate progressive dogma on command. They have to be at least a little bit subtle with their pandering. So you get little gems like this one from this mornings update:

If Mississippi were its own country, it would have one of the world’s worst total death tolls per capita, CNN’s Jake Tapper noted yesterday. Why? One reason is that the U.S. – after getting off to an excellent start – now trails many of these countries in Covid vaccination rate. Almost one in four American adults still has not received a shot. The unvaccinated continue to be disproportionately people without a college degree and Republican voters.

– NY Times daily e-mail

To the Times and their readers, the only people dumb enough not to get the government jab are those deplorable Trumplikins. Never mind about age, health, or natural immunity. A troll-like career government bureaucrat wearing a lab coat said everybody must take the jab. So that makes it SCIENCE! And smart people like the Times readers always follow the science. It’s what separates them from those ignorant rubes they love to sneer at.

It is true that Mississippi recently took over as the State with the highest per capita covid mortality rate. (Hah, stupid Republicans!) But the mortality rates in New York and New Jersey are statistically identical… In fact, they were way out in front until this recent wave hit the southeastern States so hard over the summer. Strangely, CNN and the Times failed to make that same connection when it was liberal bastions topping the list over the last 18 months. Apparently, blame can only be assigned when it is Republican states that are suffering. Most likely, the hot spots will shift back north as we slip into the winter months. I guess we’ll see how fast the progressives are to mock the people succumbing to Fauci’s little science(!) experiment then.

The Times also goes out of their way to point out that people without college degrees are more likely to be unvaccinated. This feeds right into the preferred progressive narrative of ignorant Trump voters, too dumb to know what’s good for them, needlessly extending the pandemic. What the Times fails to mention to their slavish readers is that the education level with the lowest vaccination rate is the PhDs. That’s right, it’s the doctors who are most hesitant to take the government jab. And nurses are quitting in droves rather than be forced to take it. But that little fact doesn’t jibe with the narrative the Times’ readers want to hear, so it goes unmentioned. (P.S. It never should have been the government jab. The bastards in DC made it that when they repeatedly lied about it and now want to force the citizenry to take it whether they want it or not.)

Also, the dipshits at the Times absolutely love to play identity politics. They almost never miss an opportunity to bring race into any discussion, whether it is relevant or not. Yet, in this instance the Times oddly chose to ignore race altogether in it’s reporting. Which is doubly surprising when you find out there is actually a huge racial disparity in vaccination rates. What gives? It turns out that the racial group least likely to be vaccinated are blacks. Yet in the world of intersectional oppression the New York Times inhabits, blacks can never be at fault. They must always be the victims in all circumstances. The cognitive dissonance of trying to explain why Republicans who don’t want the jab are stupid, but black people who don’t want the same poke are not, was probably too much for their feeble minds to grapple with. So they chose to ignore it instead. The Times certainly does not want to demonize black Americans. They reserve all of their hatred and vitriol for the people who really deserve it. Republicans.

Confirmed: Biden Administration Committed a War Crime

Afganistan, Biden, Politics / By / September 18, 2021
One of the Isis-K terrorists vaporized by the Biden Administration

The US government has now been forced to admit that the van of people they incinerated near the airport in Kabul weren’t Isis-K terrorists, but a completely innocent family including 7 children. The Biden Administration needed to kill someone to recover from their feckless and weak withdrawal from Afghanistan. So they indiscriminately killed some civilians to soothe their bruised egos. And the victims of these “old white men” were “oppressed people of color” to boot! Isn’t this exactly the kind of thing that leftists are always feigning outrage over??? Expect it to go nowhere when Democrats are in charge. Nobody will even lose their job or be reprimanded, much less face any criminal charges.

We all already knew what really happened. The shocking thing is that the self-anointed gatekeepers of the truth (i.e. garbage media) actually did some real journalism for once and confirmed it.

I suspected that the claims of massive secondary explosions were bullshit from the get-go. All the pictures that came out of the burned out vehicle showed it was still largely intact. If it was full of bombs for an imminent terrorist attack, you would think the resulting explosion would have totally disintegrated the van. However, being the internet, I wasn’t totally sure because you never know if the pictures shown are the primary target or just collateral damage on a nearby vehicle (or even some picture from a totally unrelated incident.) But now it has also been confirmed that the government flat-out lied about the secondary explosions.

And the government still refuses to identify the two Isis-K “planners” they assassinated in a separate drone strike. What are the odds those were just a couple random individuals in their own homes? The Biden Administration sure doesn’t seem to want anyone checking out their other handiwork too closely.

I have always been proud to be an American. But it is getting harder by the day. This gutless and evil act that was done in all of our names is a national disgrace. And nothing will be done about it. How nearly half the country can support the creepy, stupid, abusive, corrupt, evil piece of shit occupying the White House is beyond me.

Op-Ed on Failed Biden COVID Strategy Eludes the Censors

Biden, Coronavirus, Politics / By / August 10, 2021

The Washington Times published an interesting op-ed on vaccines and the Biden Administration’s (mis)use of them. I’m not totally sold on all of the points presented, but it certainly makes some interesting arguments which are worthy of consideration. The op-ed carries a little extra weight because it was co-written by Dr. Robert Malone. Dr. Malone is literally one of the key inventors of the mRNA vaccine technology. So the left’s standard procedure of denouncing him as “anti-science” and a spreader of “misinformation” doesn’t really work. Instead, they are borrowing from the old Soviet Union playbook and attempting to erase him from history altogether. Lefties are nothing if not predictable.

As for what this all means politically, I think Biden and the Democrats are in deep doo-doo come 2022. The next election is still a long ways off, but polls show Biden is underwater on almost every issue except his handling of the COVID pandemic. I think that is going to come crashing down on him big time. And sooner, rather than later. In the debates, Trump was for a return to normalcy. Biden said we couldn’t have normalcy until we “defeated” the virus. And swore he was the only candidate that could do it. However, it is sure starting to look like the coronavirus is here to stay. Between “leaky” vaccines and multiple new variants, the coronavirus appears set to join influenza and the common cold as perennial scourges on humanity (thanks, Fauci!!!) With no hope of “victory” over COVID, Biden’s big-stuffing in the debates will be exposed as the vain bluster of a befuddled imbecile, and his draconian countermeasures will be seen in a much less favorable light. (The Administration knows this. Which is why they are already trying to deflect blame on to Red State governors and the unvaccinated.) Successfully pinning a (un)natural disaster on the incumbent was a large part of how the Democrats weaseled their way back into power. It’s about to get thrown back in their smug faces.

Technocracy is Not Dead to the Left

Politics / By / August 8, 2021

The guy who wrote this article over at the American Thinker is dreaming. His main thesis is that the spectacular failure of the technocratic approach to deal with the COVID pandemic (a disaster which technocracy also caused, BTW) has discredited technocracy and forced Blue States and the left to reconsider their tactics. As I mentioned previously, technocracy is absolutely central to the modern left’s worldview. The vision of the left has autocratic rule by benevolent social engineers and scientists replacing the ugliness and inefficiency of self-governance. While the rabble will still be allowed to make the truly important choices, like which gender they want to identify as, they will be relieved of the mundane decisions which currently burden them. The government will helpfully decide where they can live, what kind of car they can drive, what type of healthcare they get, and what types of food they are allowed to eat. There can never be sustainability as long as the average Joe is permitted to use all the resources currently available to him. And there can never be equity as long as the system allows common citizens to accrue as much wealth as their talents and ambition allow.

Far from discrediting technocracy to the left, the COVID pandemic will just be further proof to them that it didn’t go far enough. They believe that the technocrats just needed even more control and power to implement their solutions and everything would have turned out peachy. In fact, you can already see evidence of this in the total demonization of people who don’t want to take the vaccine or cover their kindergartner’s face with a piece of cloth. Just like the numerous failures of socialism never phased the socialists, the failure of the technocrats will only increase the fervor of their loyalists.

CNN Revels in Being the Administrations Attack Dog

Coronavirus, Media, Politics / By / August 6, 2021

In a sea of garbage media companies, CNN really manages to stand out.

A medical doctor recently voiced an opinion on masks and vaccines that ran afoul of the current version of the government approved discourse. And CNN pounced to publicly shame and embarrass him. That was literally the only point of their deplorable hit piece. CNN’s supposed “news story” has zero informational value whatsoever. You can tell how interested the total bitch of a reporter is in finding out why a rational person might believe such things by the questions she shouts at him after ambushing him on a bike ride: “do you feel responsible for people who got sick and died?”, “what do you say to the families that have lost loved ones?” All while her smarmy tone just drips with self-righteousness. This isn’t news. It’s not opinion. It’s public shaming and personal harassment. And the message sent is clear. Dare to stray from the approved narrative of the Administration, and you too could face the wrath of the Covid brownshirts.

The Democrat cabal that seized power in our country has decided it is time to rule by decree and dissent is no longer allowable. And while they can’t use the law enforcement power of the government to enforce their edicts by force (not quite yet at least), their willing toadies in the media and corporate America are more than willing to be the muscle for their Federal mob bosses.

Shocking Level of Chutzpah, Even for Politics

Election 2020, Election Fraud, Politics / By / July 15, 2021

Now that the evidence is overwhelming, Brad Raffensperger can no longer pretend Georgia’s election was anything but a cluster-fuck. So instead of resigning, like he should, he obviously intends to pretend he was on the side of reform and transparency all along. Don’t let him get away with it.

Leftists Pushing Corporate America to Do their Bidding

Politics / By / July 10, 2021

The distressing symbiotic relationship which is blurring the lines between Big Government and Big Corporations has been mentioned on this blog before. What started with Big Tech censoring political views the left doesn’t approve of is rapidly spreading throughout corporate America. Now we have the left calling on corporate America to punish citizens who don’t bow to the Church of Fauci and take the vaccine. Making your own medical decisions is now problematic to the left, and must be stamped out with vigor. The Constitution gives government hacks no such power over the people, but their willing minions in the private sector are free from such constraints and are able to punish the peons with impunity. It’s for their own good, don’t cha know?

Surprise! Another Leftist Spews Hate for the US constitution

Politics, US Constitution / By / July 10, 2021

I’ve mentioned before that the American left hates the US Constitution. Sure, they will pay lip service to it because it plays well with the public. And they are happy to use it as a cudgel when it serves their goals. But fundamentally, they (rightly) see the Constitution as an impediment to implementing their big government agenda.

The left has been working overtime in recent years to undermine the Constitution. They have tried to paint it as a relic written by racist old white men to perpetuate white supremacy, racism, and oppression. They have attacked it’s structure as undemocratic (which it actually is, by design, and that is a good thing.) And they have challenged long held basic rights enshrined in the Constitution including freedom of speech, religious freedom, and of course the right to keep and bear arms. Fossilized paste-eating dimwit and alleged president Joe Biden recently reminded Americans that (to the left, at least) none of their Constitutional rights are absolute. Big Government will have to make exceptions when your pesky freedoms interfere with their vision of the public good.

So this recent Orwellian diatribe by an MSNBC hack comes as no surprise:

To be fair, he is (kind of) right. Yes, the Founders were “obsessed” with protecting individual liberty. Of course, their obsession was driven by their own experience with the English crown and a sober examination of all of human history. In almost all societies, the individual has been secondary to some other public entity deemed more important. Whether it was a King, a Dictator, a Church, a Party, or some nebulous “public good” as defined by a Politburo.

The revolutionary innovation the Founder’s made was putting the autonomy of the individual above all else. Liberty was, and largely still is, a unique ideal to base a system of government on. Yet it is an inevitable conclusion to reach when you start from the premise that “all men are created equal, and are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights.”

To protect individual liberty, the Founders created a government with very limited and precisely defined powers. Those powers are explicitly enumerated in the Constitution. But that wasn’t good enough. To wield this power, the Founders required the widespread consent of the governed. Not only a majority of citizens, but a majority of geographical regions have to be on board. The Founders feared a tyranny of the democratic majority nearly as much as they feared the tyranny of a king or despot. So they created the Senate and Electoral College to ensure the individual States had a loud voice, regardless of population.

A democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what is for dinner

-unknown

But in their obsession, even that amount of protection for individual liberty still wasn’t good enough. So we got the Bill of Rights. Ten amendments to the Constitution that explicitly put certain things totally out of government control. And regardless of what a mental midget like Joe Biden says, they are absolute. Not even a 99% majority can strip them from you. Freedom of speech, religion, assembly, and especially the right to bear arms, are completely out of bounds. According to the Constitution, they are fundamental God-given rights that every human being enjoys.

I expect the left’s assault on the Constitution to only increase going forward. It’s the one societal boundary they haven’t been able to smash yet. And the three Trump-appointed Justices mean the Supreme Court isn’t likely to reinterpret it’s plain meaning into Orwellian nonsense any time soon. With Court packing off the table, their only other option is to delegitimize it. The bottom line is the left doesn’t really believe individuals are capable of governing themselves. They believe some amount of authoritarian rule is necessary. There are some problems that, in their minds, are just to big or complex to address by freely cooperating individuals. In short, the know better, so just shut up and obey.

So, yes, the Founders were absolutely obsessed with individual liberty. They created a document so focused on liberty, that it has survived 230 years of attempts to subvert it, largely unscathed. And we should thank God, they did. Because individual liberty is pragmatically sound, morally superior, and the very heart of American exceptionalism.

The Left Won’t Let Fauci Take a Fall

Current Events, Media, Politics, Uncategorized / By / June 15, 2021

A lot of people are starting to pull out the knives for Anthony Fauci. As well they should. Hindsight is just starting to expose what a complete disaster this guy was in shaping the pandemic response. Even more troublesome is the role he played in enabling the pandemic to happen in the first place by funding the dangerous “gain of function” experiments in China.

Which makes it kind of strange to see that the big media outlets and mainstream Democrat politicians are still treating this incompetent turd like some kind of rock star. What gives? In short, they have to. Antony Fauci is the epitome of what the leftwing vision of governance looks like. He is a quote-unquote scientist. He is widely acknowledged as a leading expert in his field. And he is a career bureaucrat and perennial fixture in Washington DC who made his fortune as a “public servant.” Anthony Fauci is a technocrat of the highest order and pedigree. He is exactly the kind of guy the left wants to empower to socially re-engineer society and dictate to the masses how they must live. They want guys like Fauci mandating the size of house you are allowed to live in, the kind of car you can drive, and the types of food you can eat. They claim their authoritarian vision for America is absolutely required by “the science” to attain equity and sustainability. And if you just go along and peacefully give up your freedoms, the central planners will engineer a Utopian haven on Earth where we can all live happily ever after. Or so they promise.

Which is why Anthony Fauci must not be allowed to be deemed a failure. Not just to protect one of their fellow bureaucrats or even a political party. The left must defend Fauci because he is emblematic of their core ideology. For the left to turn on him now would require them to completely discredit their entire worldview. So the miserable failure that is Anthony Fauci will continue to be lauded as a hero by the left.

The Real Reason the Media Denied the Truth About the Origins of Covid

Coronavirus, Current Events, Media, Politics / By / June 1, 2021

It’s becoming increasingly clear that COVID-19 was not created by nature as we’ve been told for over a year. The evidence that it was created in a Chinese bio-lab and then escaped (or intentionally released) into the public is becoming overwhelming. China flat out lied about it from the beginning. And sniveling crap-weasel Anthony Fauci almost certainly was aware of this from the get-go.

Frankly, it didn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out the whole wet market story was a bunch of BS. The fact a new and extra-deadly coronavirus just happened to naturally “evolve” a stone’s throw away from one of the only laboratories in the world artificially creating new deadlier coronavirus variants was one hell of a coincidence, to put it mildly. And people within the US government already knew that the 1st victims of COVID-19 weren’t wet market bat-eaters, but family members of the Wuhan bio-lab staff. Of course, the fact that Fauci and his merry band of idiots was funding this ridiculously dangerous research in a country notorious for half-assed safety measures ensured they weren’t going to be very eager to make the obvious connection.

Yet plenty of people did make the connection. Senator Tom Cotton was one of the 1st, and he was attacked mercilessly by the leftstream media while being denounced as a dangerous kook. Rand Paul, Tucker Carlson, and others connected the dots, too. It wasn’t all that hard.

President Donald Trump also strongly hinted it might have come from the Wuhan lab, and of course the media immediately pounced on him for spreading “debunked” conspiracy theories. (Hint: remember this the next time the garbage media describe something as “debunked.”) But was it really debunked? Did the media even bother to look into it? The answer is a resounding no. They took Fauci’s denial the virus could be man-made (sprinkled with enough caveat weasel-words to leave himself an out later on) as gospel. No further digging required.

And now the media is left looking really incompetent. They are kinda/sorta implying the reason they didn’t believe the plain facts in front of their face was because it was Donald Trump espousing them, and Trump (they say) lies about everything. But is that really the reason the media once again failed us so badly? I don’t think so.

Our garbage media loves narratives. In fact, they love narratives almost as much as they hate Donald Trump. And they knew the narrative they wanted to spin from the very beginning of the pandemic. Even as early as last February, the talking-head douche bags on the cable channels were giddily predicting the COVID pandemic would be “Trump’s Katrina.” And they were hell bent on making that narrative stick. However, there is only room for one villain in any narrative. And the US media had already decided it had to be Trump. The last thing they wanted was the public to find out China created a deadly super-virus in a lab, unleashed it on the world, and didn’t tell anyone about it. They knew they couldn’t tell that story and still paint Trump as the bad guy. And getting Trump out of office was the most important thing in the world to them. Even more important than telling the public the truth about a virus that has wreaked so much havoc on our country and caused so much death, suffering, and misery. So they buried the story and called Trump a racist for even pointing out that the virus came from China.

At this point I can’t even verbalize my level of contempt for the US media. This is one of the biggest catastrophes of our lifetimes. Understanding the root cause is one of the most important factors in preventing it from happening again. The government is involved up to it’s eyeballs…. they have a huge incentive to lie and obfuscate. This is a time when we desperately need independent journalists to put in the work, do the investigating, and ask the hard questions. But we don’t have an independent media in this country anymore. We don’t have anyone speaking truth to power. All we have is the propaganda arm of one of the major political parties. Half the so-called “journalists” today are former fucking political operatives. Journalism is good and truly dead in this country. Actual journalists don’t even exist anymore. All we have are partisan political hacks spinning “narratives.” They can all rot.

Still think it was worth it, asshole??? The left wants to give arrogant technocrats like Fauci even more control over your life.
