State of the Union was moved to March for a reason.

"The state of our union is STRONG!..... and we also beat covid! Check out these falling numbers!"

Time for REPARATIONS from every pharmaceutical megacorporation; test and worthless mask manufacturer; billionaire profiteer; complicit politician/official/bureaucrat; mandating company/educational institution/organization; and colluding agency that participated in the atomic detonation of the global economy, the mass murder and harm of millions, and the destruction of the public health in the name of public health.

Somewhere a PhD student is writing a paper on how free tests prevent covid. In about 30 years, he will be the chief health officer of a major country.... The descent into idiocracy has begun

This is nothing new, it is a tactic the State has used over and over again.

A few examples:

- Child labor was on the wane before child labor laws were imposed.

- Civil rights for blacks were improving before the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

- Poverty rates among blacks were decreasing, homeownership increasing, and economic opportunities expanding, before LBJ's Great Society was imposed.

- Pollution was decreasing before the Clean Air Act was passed and the EPA created in 1970.

All of these trends were due to rising general prosperity in what was still a largely capitalist economy. Turns out that when people get wealthier, they don't want their children working, to discriminate against potential customers with rising incomes, or to live in polluted environments.

If anything, State intervention slowed or even reversed these laudable trends by imposing regulatory burdens, thereby decreasing the amount of income growth, or, in the case of Great Society, creating a gigantic bureaucratic fiefdom that created perverse economic incentives that have resulted in some 75% of black children being born out of wedlock and rules to keep the fathers uninvolved in raising them.

In short, the State has destroyed the black family.

"The black family survived centuries of slavery and generations of Jim Crow, but it has disintegrated in the wake of the liberals' expansion of the welfare state."

Dear Gato, i made my 15 year old read your last post on the gompertz curve with additional reading material on Action Bias. 💪🏻 The garbage being fed to them at school needs counteraction.

We figured this out in summer 2020 but the 'experts' were clueless for far far longer. Many places implemented mask rules in the fall, only to see them (predictably) fail to contain the winter surge.

This is of course similar to what happened with numerous vaccines. The disease frequency was down 80-90+% (and continuing down) when vaccines were introduced, and then they profess that the vaccines rid us of that disease. Total charlatanism and fraud.

The Brandon Administration took a page from Animal House. "I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody’s part."

But Gato, the dance is basically harmless and has no costs associated. Couldn't we just do it out of an abundance of caution, and to display our vigilance and awareness of the crisis?

This thing I'm holding? No way, it is definitely not a stone knife to perform the ritual human sacrifice, and I am definitely not laying the groundwork for it with my sun dance.

We are going to need you to put together a comprehensive, irrefutable post consolidating ALL of the manifest dishonesty and chicanery of the Covidiots, the Left, and the Democrat Party.

We are going to need this roundabout early September, so there's plenty of time to shove it far up their asses before the midterms.

The post should be coated in salt and razor blades.

I scanned an article in The Atlantic talking about Ivm and how some "right-wing figures" are pushing it for treatment... What the heck? Could they be referring to the amazing doctors of the FLCCC? Clearly, there is zero journalism in legacy media.

Well Fauci said to give the toddlers a booster because they didn’t show enough of an immune response. What was he doing at Davos? Talk about ominous.

I fear the Feds have created a cottage industry around Covid. They’ve invested a lot of our taxpayer dollars in masks, tests, shots, pills. Not sure why masks and tests should be free.

Haha snort. A lot of your stuff cracks me up daily but this tickled my funny bone on a grey winter day in a blue state where n95s and permanent masking is being rammed through.

We CANNOT let them off the hook, and we cannot let our guard down. I don't care how much the Narrative appears to be crumbling, the Endgame is and always will be maniacally pursued. Everyone, please stay vigilant.

Not just hucksterism, they're bailing out the manufacturers/retailers who stocked up on tests and masks right before the omicron collapse would have left them sitting on shelves. Fauci & Company, specifically Robert Kadlec, have been doing this for almost 20 years now with the Strategic National Stockpile. RFK Jr. documents it well in his Fauci book.

They did the same thing with the jabs last year, and it didn't work out well for them.

They don't control the virus. You'd think they'd know that by now. Of course, we all hope that this is the end of the virus portion of this nightmare. Only the virus or the WIV knows for sure.

Had a Dr. appt yesterday which led to an X-Ray. Doc knew I was conservative but since I said something kind while she was seeing me she demanded an X-ray to see if I actually had a heart.

Ok, not why I am writing. But in both facilities, EVERYONE is wearing a mask. And I wondered. These are supposed to be the smartest folks in town. These people are supposed to KNOW shit about how to keep me alive.

But they don't. They are the most sheepish of all sheep.

Terrifying. Sad. Maddening.

The Woke Zombie is great. Ferocious and brilliant.

And, of course, she’s right. These clowns are flailing around desperately trying to exert control (or to appear to be exerting control) over something they really can’t control. They are, in this, like Keynesian economists trying to manage the economic cycle, but even more destructive.

Our public health officials really ought to read some ancient philosophy—in particular the Stoics. There are a few things under our control and many things that aren’t. When we try to control things we cannot, we cause a great deal of misery for ourselves and those around us.

I get paid for rain dances. I look at the satellite rain images, judge when it's going to rain, and then do my dance. It always impresses the natives - not my dancing skills but the fact it starts raining.

Well, it helps when you can even redefine things to reshape the curve as you go. PCR was supposed to go away three weeks ago. Think that helped bring "case" counts down?

in NJ, the tyrant gov murphy still orders children to wear masks in schools. Murphy appears in public outside wearing two masks. Their plan is to watch the seasonal decrease in cases , have the state of the unions and then Im sure murphy will lift the executive orders and claim credit. They are using children as a political weapon. They are leveraging all the choke point places they control in the state: mass transit, gov offices, schools, health care facilities, and instisting on masking in these places so they have SOMETHING to point to to make them look like they did something. When really NOTHING they have done has made any difference.

Love it, great point. Will be linking tomorrow @https://nothingnewunderthesun2016.com/

Also at Joe's big "depresser" today, he stated that not only must we finish jabbing everybody in the U.S. but the whole world as well. Fauci was probably grinning from ear to ear on that one, as he pulled Joe's strings. I think old Joe is pimping for Tony and Bourla at Pfizer. Would that be called OMICronyism THEN!!!!!!!

I think the whole reason they are giving out free rapid tests is to cover the numbers of fully vaxxed that are getting covid. If they don't collect the data, it aint happenin.

When the rain doesn't come and the crops fail, guess who they went after? Hope it still holds in the urban jungle.

You put it much better than I did, but when true believers remaining in my circle got excited that home test sign-up started a whole day early yesterday, I replied that it would still take 10-15 days to deliver, just in time to not need them anymore. They apparently extended the mask mandate for NY to February 1, though no one around here seems to care anymore, so we'll get our taxpayer-funded "free" masks also just in time for the mandate to go away outside the commune that is NYC.

They can take any dismal item in history and spin it their way. And it sure helps to have the media do it for you. Again, until the masses wake up, they can get away with it. By election time, everyone will be praising Biden. It's after the next election we have to brace ourselves for, regardless of the victor.
