The Post Authoritarian World to Come

I refuse to use the idiotic phrase ‘post COVID’. A virus with a 98% survivability and that hasn’t infected the majority of people simply isn’t a turning point in world history. That it has been used as an excuse for totalitarian and authoritarian measures directed against the free people of the world might well be a turning point – the virus itself is not. Australia has gone full totalitarian – which begs the question of why the heck we are … Continue reading “The Post Authoritarian World to Come”

We Pay for This Homeland Security Department Why, Exactly?

I worked 18 years in Disease Control. I’ve transported many HIV and some TB patients in my personal vehicle – and never thought twice. The tuberculous Disease Intervention Specialists didn’t wear masks – why should an STD DIS? I stayed home when I even thought I was sick – because that really can be dangerous to HIV patients – but otherwise, we didn’t need no stinkin’ masks – and never used them. I say that because I realize I’m not … Continue reading “We Pay for This Homeland Security Department Why, Exactly?”

Failure isn’t a Bug; It’s a Feature for the Biden Administration

This is the most incompetent administration in national history. It’s the first to manage to lose a war deliberately. It’s managed to violate the Constitution so badly that even the ever supportive Supreme Court finally said knock it off. This administration has lost every case with a verdict thus far challenging its increasingly bizarre edicts. One of its political allies is now protesting against it in the streets. None of its signature legislation has passed both Houses of Congress despite … Continue reading “Failure isn’t a Bug; It’s a Feature for the Biden Administration”

Journalism is Dead: The Media is Not a Good Replacement

Polls done by news outlets are not news – news is the stuff that happens, not the stuff that news outlets do so that they have something to talk about. Polls done by news outlets are seldom done well but that’s another issue. The point here is that when the media covers itself it is almost never telling you anything important or information you need to know. Media is not news. If you want to know about your favorite celebrity … Continue reading “Journalism is Dead: The Media is Not a Good Replacement”

Ramblings on Congress and Stuff

Sometimes, you spend so much time talking you run out of things to say. Then you ramble. I was thinking about discussing the hilariously unproductive Biden administration. Well, being fair, the Biden Admin has produced a lot of executive orders that have been overturned in a lot of court cases – I suppose that counts as ‘productive’. Good thing Biden won’t need a job after his term – who’d hire someone with that kind of thing on their resume? Pelosi … Continue reading “Ramblings on Congress and Stuff”

Be Not Afraid

Fear has enormous power to destroy. The more afraid we are, the larger and more insurmountable the problem seems. This is not news – it’s the most basic of human responses. We run or we fight when we are afraid – it’s part of the instinctual systems we have that let us act when we haven’t time to think. Fear in its proper place can be a good thing. Being scared to leap off of a perfectly good roof to … Continue reading “Be Not Afraid”

What? Joe’s Still Here?

The short answer is yes – he’s hoping (or his handlers are) that we’ll be distracted by the panicdemic and the new unconstitutional and unenforceable mandates. With any luck at all, no one will notice that we still have people in Afghanistan or that the fallout from the disastrous withdrawal is still raining down. “See the squirrel! Watch the squirrel! Don’t impeach me…” My analysis is that Biden is not in control – either of the country or himself. Those … Continue reading “What? Joe’s Still Here?”

Why Does Jimmy Kimmel Have a Job?

Kimmel stated publicly that we should just let the unvaccinated die. This is blatant hate mongering – and it’s just a tad racist, too. Only 30% of the country remains unvaccinated – and 28% of those folks happen to be black. So basically – why does this hate monger have a job? Probably because he’s carrying water for Fauci – as is much of the media. Remember when 70% was enough to reach herd immunity? Well, now it’s not because … Continue reading “Why Does Jimmy Kimmel Have a Job?”
