    CDC’s Mask Guidance Will Backfire

    National Review, by Editorial

     

    Begin with one simple fact: The Delta variant of COVID-19 is more contagious than the original virus, but it is not more dangerous or likely to kill you. If you are vaccinated and are exposed to it, you may get infected. This infection is likely to be mild; occasionally vaccinated people get sick. These symptoms are usually mild, manageable, and pass within a day or two.

    Coward's response.

     

     

     

     

    Borrowed:

     

    2+ hours of rioting. 

    14,000 hours of footage still unreleased. 

    Hundreds of political prisoners languishing without proper due process. 

    Hundreds of indictments -- precisely ZERO for: insurrection, treason, sedition, murder, or attempted murder.

     

    After all the smoke and bluster, the facts remain the same. The only person who died that day was one unarmed woman shot in the neck.

     

    What really happened that day was the political elites were embarrassed to be seen hiding under their benches from unarmed citizens. The same people who have no qualms about sending those same citizens to fight endless wars for profit for the past 2 decades got exposed as cowards for the world to see. That cannot stand, thus a narrative was needed to turn the above into something "worse than every day in America since the Civil War". 

     

    There's propaganda and there's stupidity. Anyone who still toes the line that 1/6 was the worst assault on our democracy since the 19th century is loudly proclaiming themselves to either be useful idiots for a cause they don't understand, or intentionally deceitful to the point of actively being evil.

    She said that, of course, while not wearing a mask and being accompanied by unmasked security and getting into an SUV being piloted by an unmasked driver.

     

    Anyway, Rep. McCarthy understandably had some thoughts about Pelosi’s insult:

    AJ Swinson Lays Down the Truth About the Democrats’ Capitol Riot Commission

     

    image-5-730x0.png

     

     

    The Democratic Party’s Jan. 6 commission has begun and it has reignited the debate over the events of the assault on the U.S. Capitol building which occurred six months ago. The first day was jam-packed with accusations of white supremacy, outright lies, and even an outpouring of crocodile tears. But the all-important question is: Will the American public see through the obvious politicking involved in this sham of a hearing?

     

    AJ Swinson, the chief of staff for New Journey PAC, ripped open the curtain during an appearance on Black News Channel’s “Start Your Day” in which she discussed the affair. Host Mike Hill asked why Republicans are downplaying the riot that took place on Jan. 6.

     

     

     

     

    {snip}

     

    The points Swinson made are apt. It was clear from the beginning that these hearings are nothing more than propaganda opportunities designed to distract the American public from the fact that the Democratic Party and President Joe Biden have already proven to be ignominious failures six months into his presidency.

     

    The Democrats have continued to use the Jan. 6 riots as a political cudgel and the point of the Democratic Jan. 6 Committee is to milk the riot for all it’s worth. It’s not difficult to ascertain the reason for this farce.

     

    To put it simply, the Democrats are failing at almost everything. They are failing to rein in the socialist wing of the party, which is alienating voters with their hyperfocus on wokeism. They are failing to address the migrant crisis at the southern border. They are failing to ram through Biden’s radical agenda on guns. They are failing to address the COVID-19 pandemic and are resorting to pushing unpopular vaccine mandates.

    JANUARY 6 HEARINGS GET UNDER WAY

     

    The House Select Committee that purports to investigate the “insurrection” of January 6, 2021, started holding hearings today. I don’t intend to write much about this farce, as I think it is one of the dumbest things we have seen in many years. This is true for many reasons:

     

    * We Republicans may have our faults, but if we were actually going to stage an insurrection, at least one of us would remember to bring a firearm.

     

    * Along the same lines, if we were to undertake an insurrection, we would not call on a “shaman” wearing horns and a fur hat to lead it.

     

    * An actual insurrection would result in casualties. Here, the only person who died, or was seriously injured, other than by natural causes, was Ashli Babbitt. Will Pelosi’s committee call the officer who shot her as a witness? Inquiring minds want to know.

     

    * If the committee wants to investigate violent riots in Washington, D.C., it is barking up the wrong tree. There was a real riot on the day when Donald Trump was inaugurated in 2017, with businesses looted, buildings and vehicles burned, and innocent passers-by assaulted. Likewise, in July 2016 there was another real riot, in which (going from memory) around 60 D.C. police officers were wounded, and much property was destroyed. Do you suppose the Democrats are interested in investigating those riots?

     

    * There actually is one aspect of the January 6 protest that deserves investigation: the performance of Capitol security. The fact that a small rabble of unarmed protesters was able to access the Capitol illegally is, or should be, shocking. Moreover, we have all seen the video of the Capitol entrance where guards opened the doors and waved the protesters into the building. The protesters entered in an orderly fashion, taking photos with their cell phones and carefully staying between the red velvet ropes. I suspect that most of those who entered the Capitol on January 6 were invited in by guards. I have never seen an explanation of how and why this happened. Will the committee investigate this bizarre breakdown in security?

     

    Just kidding.

     

     

    * This committee reminds me of the Select Committee on Assassinations that House Democrats appointed, as I recall, some time during the 1970s. That committee, staffed by the usual suspects, purported to investigate the John Kennedy, Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King assassinations. The committee wrote a report that concluded, if I remember correctly, that all three assassinations were fruits of conspiracies. If you don’t remember that bit of history, you are not alone. The committee’s report was generally viewed as an embarrassment and was quietly shelved. The current committee will, I think, be similarly forgotten.

     

    On the bright side, I don’t believe the Democrats are fooling anyone. The current “investigation” is a joke, and I think everyone understands that. The New York Times et al. may pontificate about the “insurrection,” but the whole thing is a farce that will get the Dems nowhere.

    WHY CRITICAL RACE THEORY NOW ?

     

    bob-moses.jpg?resize=110,85&ssl=1

     

    Bob Moses, the civil rights leader, died a few days ago. He led voter registration drives in Mississippi during the 1960s and later founded the Algebra Project to teach math to Black students in rural areas and inner cities.

     

    Moses didn’t believe math is racist. He believed that math literacy “is the tool to elevate the young into the first class economically.”

     

    How did the civil rights movement devolve from Bob Moses’ vision to that of Critical Race Theory (CRT)? CRT has been kicking around in the academy since at least the early 1980s, albeit in more interesting and sophisticated forms than its present incarnation. Why has it just now taken center stage in the quest for Black advancement?

     

    The most obvious answers are frustration and anger. Frustration at the fact that doing the things, such as mastering math, that will “elevate young Blacks into the first class economically” has proven very difficult. Anger that Blacks, to a disproportionate extent, aren’t moving into that class.

     

    In its present form, CRT is, in essence, two things — a theory and a demand. The theory is that Whites are to blame for Blacks not succeeding to the same extent as Whites. The demand is that Blacks be rewarded as if they have succeeded to that extent.

     

    It’s easy to understand the psychology of CRT’s theory and demand. But as a strategy for advancement, CRT seems badly misguided even on its own premise. America isn’t likely to accept the demonization of a majority (or a plurality) of its population, and it certainly won’t if the premise that Whites overwhelmingly are racist is true.

     

    American isn’t a racist country. Americans overwhelmingly oppose discrimination based on race. Many are even willing to confer some benefits and privileges on Blacks based on race, and some benefits/privileges have been conferred on that basis. But not to the extent the CRT movement demands.
