Beyond Belief

Like many people, I have certain consistencies. I get up, feed the cats, start the coffee, start reading my morning list of web sites. A very quick perusal of FoxNews Online to ascertain that another Marxist hasn’t assassinated POTUS, then a list of comics. I like to start the day off with coffee and a chuckle. As soon as I get to the news I’m going to get pissed off, so why not start the day with a smile? I ease into that process with Jeff Childer’s Coffee and Covid (yes, before RightWingGranny. Sorry, Mary.  That’s next because my pissed off process will then begin.) Jeff is a conservative attorney in Florida. I know that is usually an oxymoron, but I actually do know a conservative attorney.

Usually, Jeff can ease me into the tension of the day. Not last Saturday. His lead off was about a covid vaccination study entitled “Twelve-Month All-Cause Mortality after Initial COVID-19 Vaccination with Pfizer-BioNTech or mRNA-1273 among Adults Living in Florida.”  I invite you to look it up. You may have to look hard. Jeff includes the credentials and details of the study. The results are astounding.  When filtering for all causes of mortality of those who got the shot (it is obviously NOT a vaccine) they were able to determine that there was a 40% higher chance from dying if you got the Pfizer injection than if you got the Moderna. 40% HIGHER!

Wouldn’t one think that such a finding might inspire a bit of curiosity among the various news organizations? After all, this would seem to be an important bit of news to those who were inspired, cajoled or threatened into getting this opportunity to shorten their life span? If this information could be spun into a stab at PDJT the Marxist news media would screaming this from the rooftops 24/7. But what do we hear? Crickets. Nothing.

I have confessed before that I was briefly a part of this noxious endeavor called “Lame Stream News.” The nausea that this little revelation produces without even the NY Post screaming it from 40 point type is debilitating.

The study gives great detail as to whom is at greater risk. And those over 60 were in the greatest risk of many ways of attaining room temperature. Especially cardiovascular and stroke events. Seeing that I AM in that age group (though so far, no unusual – for me – cardiac events or TIA’s) and that I had two jabs, I can’t say that I am encouraged. I think – think- that I had the Moderna shot. I didn’t save my vaccine card. But while I don’t have (yet) any issues I can correlate to the shots, I certainly do know people who have had devastating results. Such as needing three coronary stents installed within three weeks of the injection with no prior cardiac issues. Or multiple bypasses in the same fashion. This therapy is NOT inexpensive. So, who pays? The insurance companies? Sure. Where do they get their cash? From premiums. Who pays those? I do. You do. If you are on Medicaid, then I do as well as everyone who isn’t on Medicaid.

But who isn’t really paying? Fauci. He’s getting paid. A VERY healthy retirement and royalties from the “research” he was involved in. While a government employee.

HEY ELON! Let’s look into THAT scam a little closer.

Meanwhile. please pass the Pepto Bismol.

Senate Stupidity

Just how stupid are the Marxists in the Senate? Note I didn’t ask how stupid can they get. The first question (somewhat rhetorical) prescribes a measurement, the second is usually taken as a challenge.

If using intelligence as a basis, likely many of them will show up in negative numbers. Others will perform around room temperature, typically that of a walk-in cooler. The HALT (Halt All Trafficking of Lethal Fentanyl) passed the senate with 16 members voting “nay.” This bill closed the loophole on trafficking fentanyl analogs that are similar in effect and chemical composition but not precisely fentanyl. This prevents traffickers from skirting the law by selling something that is just as lethal as the original but technically legal.

The 16 included all of the usual suspects: Cory Booker (Dummy, NJ), Adam Schiff (Dumber, CA), Raphael Warnock (Stupid, GA), Fauxcahauntas (Delirious, MA), and  Mazie Hirono (Dumbest, HI.).

Their excuses for not supporting the bill? It would “disproportionately affect minorities”. It wouldn’t allow for research to be sure that some analogs might have beneficial properties (The bill DOES provide for that, proof that not only some are stupid but also illiterate. Or too lazy to actually read the bill. Or DO THEIR JOB! Please excuse the shouting. My patience with stupidity is wearing thin.)

Another excuse is that it actually wouldn’t reduce the availability of the drugs. While that statement is true, that isn’t the purpose of the bill. The purpose is for law enforcement to arrest the traffickers without them having a lethal loophole. They claim it will lead to “mass incarcerations”. No one, however, mentioned that this is the same bill that was passed in 2018, due to expire this month. Did they cite the “mass incarcerations” that resulted since 2018? Another rhetorical question, apparently.

So, what is the real reason for opposing the bill? Just to be contrary? Likely. To display their “social justice” bona fides? Rather than “real justice” bona fides? Or has the collapse of the Act Blue fund-raising scam threatened to reveal another source of indirect funds, such as the very cartels that smuggle this poison into our country? Or the Chinese manufacturers of the raw materials that deliver them to the cartels? Certainly, such honorables as US Senators would be above accepting money derived from such nefarious sources.

Wouldn’t they?

Wouldn’t they?

Topsy Turvy

It is fascinating to watch the reactions being created by President Trump from all the people who think they know what to expect. As if this time around it will in any way resemble his first administration. It isn’t and it won’t. People who hate him will be absolutely blindsided by his works; people who like him will be delighted.  President Trump doesn’t think outside of the box; he thinks outside of the planet.

Yet so many people expect him to do things the way that they have always been done, just a little bit differently. WRONG! And people are beginning to have their eyes opened. Zelensky actually thought that he could push POTUS around like he did Obozo and Brandon. That didn’t work out well for him. It did give Lindsey Graham an opportunity to get on the right bus. Graham couldn’t just flip flop without a good reason. Okay, he could have, it’s not like some people who do it all the time and expect no one to notice. But it gave him plausible deniability to change his position on Ukraine.

POTUS didn’t push Graham, he pulled.

He has threatened tariffs on countries that are contributing to the harm to our people. He has threatened tariffs on countries that impose tariffs on our goods entering their country. Traditional conservative economists (unlike Paul Krugman, an example of just how moronic the Nobel Committee is) bemoan tariffs as destructive to the economy, inflationary, protecting laborers and companies from their own inefficiencies.

And, yes in a traditional, classical economic environment they may have a point. This is anything but a classical economic environment.

What too many people are not comprehending is that POTUS is using tariffs as a negotiating tool. What is more important – increasing the price of goods imported from Mexico or Canada or reducing the amounts of illegal drugs coming in from either country? Or perhaps using the threat, even imposing them for a while, in order to get the leaders of both of the other countries to understand that POTUS means what he says. This is POTUS’ greatest weapon – He says what he means and DOES WHAT HE SAYS! This is such a totally unusual behavior that people –both friends and foe– just can’t wrap their heads around it.

The result by many on the Marxist side is to bluster and babble and run to their attorney. Good. Once the SCOTUS gets a hold of it, leftist minds will really start to explode. I can’t wait!

By following through on his promises and getting the results expected, he will pull even some anti-Trumpers over to the right side, if only to not look like perfect fools. Of course there will be some – AOC, etc. who delight us in being fools. They can’t help it; it’s what they are. But eventually some of even the die-hard dummycrats will wake up from their wokeness and realize that their bus has left them behind. And under it.
