This is America

 

Not the urban Democrat hell hole cities, where the local poor and minority populations have been brainwashed by the decades long rule of corrupt Democrat political machines into believing that the only way for them to succeed is to accept the paltry welfare doled out by the machine bosses.

Reject it.

Hey… That sounds like cheating. Can you guess which side was cheating?

More votes counted than cast in Nevada 2020 General Election, analysis of voting files shows

“…An analysis of Nevada state voter data shows a 9,000-vote difference between those marked as having participated in the 2020 General Election and the number of ballots actually cast.

The non-partisan Voter Reference Foundation (VRF), which officially announced its launch this week, compared the states’ official certified vote totals to the state official voter files, which indicate how many individual Nevada voters were recorded as actually having cast ballots last November.

It found that 15 of Nevada’s 17 counties certified more ballots cast than there were individual voters recorded as voting. Clark (5,869 more) and Washoe (2,191) had the largest discrepancies, according to the analysis.

Statewide, VRF calculated 1,398,790 individual Nevada voters as having voted, 8,952 fewer than the state’s official certified total of 1,407,754.

The final election results in Nevada had Joe Biden defeating Donald Trump by 33,596 votes, or 50.06% to 47.6% of the vote.

In conducting its Nevada analysis, VRF said it obtained the state’s file of registered voters and their voting histories. Those listed as having voted in 2020 were then extracted and totaled by precinct. Those totals were then compared with the state’s official certified totals.

In a news release, VRF said it has analyzed more states than Nevada. In all of them, the “totals do not match.” It plans to release more state analyses in coming weeks…”

Paleo Republicans continue their downhill slide. This man’s political career is over.

I guess he thinks the absolute disaster at the border under Biden is a good policy? I guess he thinks the lowest illegal immigration rates for decades under trump was bad policy? Does this man think?

I am inclined to believe he is blinded by Trump hatred and the secondary effects of this debilitating disease take the form of reduced mental capacity.

Fauci should be investigated for his decisions related to funding of the Wuhan Laboratory. His leadership during the Covid crisis has been terrible.

Fauci and the CDC Undermined Public Trust

“…When clear evidence is lacking, they project their own Covid speculations as authoritative scientific judgments.

In times of public-health emergency, the federal government takes on the role of a provider of information. Unfortunately, as “The CDC’s Delta Variant Panic” (Review & Outlook, July 31) illustrates, our government has fallen into a pattern of not only vacillating between contradictory positions, but also fanning the flames of Covid-19 misinformation.

This pattern extends to the earliest days of the pandemic. Far from providing leadership, agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and figures such as Anthony Fauci have a record of projecting their own unfounded speculation as authoritative scientific judgments on matters in which they lack clear evidence. Recall how the CDC spent spring 2020 attempting to dissuade the public from buying masks, how Dr. Fauci described the risk of Covid to the U.S. as “minuscule” in late February 2020, and how “two weeks to flatten the curve” morphed into two months, then a year.

More recent vacillation includes ever-changing advice on masks, a re-evaluation of the lab-leak theory, the confidence-undermining pause on the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, and now encouraging alarmism with misleading claims about the number of Delta variant breakthrough cases. Despite this stream of inconsistent messages, these public-health authorities are routinely invoked by journalists and social-media fact checkers as the standard against which “Covid misinformation” is to be judged.

A year and a half of placing political expediency over scientific accuracy has taken its toll on the public. By failing to acknowledge the limitations of their own knowledge and repeated errors of judgment, Dr. Fauci and the CDC have undermined the very trust they seek to command. If public trust in science declines as a result, these officials have only themselves to blame…”

Fearmongering from journalists, scientists, and politicians did more harm than the virus.

This is a great piece. I’ve excerpted a short segment here. I encourage you to click over for the whole thing. This piece exposes the wrong-headed nonsense that got us into the problem and the bad decisions later about how to deal with it. It also shows the attempts by politicians and media and social media to censor dissenters and criticism.

The Panic Pandemic

John Tierney:

“…The United States suffered through two lethal waves of contagion in the past year and a half. The first was a viral pandemic that killed about one in 500 Americans—typically, a person over 75 suffering from other serious conditions. The second, and far more catastrophic, was a moral panic that swept the nation’s guiding institutions.

Instead of keeping calm and carrying on, the American elite flouted the norms of governance, journalism, academic freedom—and, worst of all, science. They misled the public about the origins of the virus and the true risk that it posed. Ignoring their own carefully prepared plans for a pandemic, they claimed unprecedented powers to impose untested strategies, with terrible collateral damage. As evidence of their mistakes mounted, they stifled debate by vilifying dissenters, censoring criticism, and suppressing scientific research.

If, as seems increasingly plausible, the coronavirus that causes Covid-19 leaked out of a laboratory in Wuhan, it is the costliest blunder ever committed by scientists. Whatever the pandemic’s origin, the response to it is the worst mistake in the history of the public-health profession. We still have no convincing evidence that the lockdowns saved lives, but lots of evidence that they have already cost lives and will prove deadlier in the long run than the virus itself.

One in three people worldwide lost a job or a business during the lockdowns, and half saw their earnings drop, according to a Gallup poll. Children, never at risk from the virus, in many places essentially lost a year of school. The economic and health consequences were felt most acutely among the less affluent in America and in the rest of the world, where the World Bank estimates that more than 100 million have been pushed into extreme poverty.

The leaders responsible for these disasters continue to pretend that their policies worked and assume that they can keep fooling the public. They’ve promised to deploy these strategies again in the future, and they might even succeed in doing so—unless we begin to understand what went wrong.

The panic was started, as usual, by journalists…”

‘The Vaccine doesn’t prevent transmission of Covid’

Has any entity anywhere, anytime fallen faster and farther than the CDC in terms of public trust? Senator Cruz asked that question the other day. Okay, the media. But still.

This woman, the director of the CDC, was on liberal cable news crying about Covid a few weeks ago.

Crying.

Crying about problems is considered leadership in Democrat circles. Showing emotion (virtue signaling) is more important than achieving results.

We are governed by idiots. We live in the age of stupid.
