Trump-Backed GOP Senate Candidate Hung Cao Wins Virginia Primary, Will Face Tim Kaine in November https://redstate.com/smoosieq/2024/06/18/trump-backed-gop-senate-candidate-hung-cao-wins-virginia-primary-will-face-tim-kaine-in-november-n2175662 .

What a shallow answer. (though not unexpected) The government's reaction to the Covid outbreak devasted our country and its people. But your response brings it all back to "looking for scapegoats" Weak. .

JIM MEIGS: The Fauci Covid Conspiracy. “We told you so. There’s probably a more polite way to say that, but who cares? We are long past the time for politeness regarding the derelictions of our leadership class when it came to Covid-19. The American public has every reason to be angry. And the small, maligned group of scientists, journalists, and political figures who challenged the wisdom of America’s designated Covid experts deserves an apology. . . . In the absence of hard data, a little overreach on the part of experts might have been forgivable, at least at first. As the pandemic ground on, however, scientists started learning more about the disease, including insights that could help slow transmission and that undermined the case for rigid lockdowns. But the Covid gatekeepers mostly ignored any data that challenged their initial recommendations. They never admitted a mistake and rarely changed course on policy. And when it came to the mystery of Covid’s origin, the scientific community instantly closed ranks. The idea that a bat-related coronavirus might have emerged from a Wuhan China lab devoted to studying bat-related coronaviruses was deemed a far-out right-wing fantasy. In other words, our public health officials, abetted by a politicized media, manufactured an airtight consensus on both Covid science and policy. This consensus was largely immune to scientific evidence or concerns about the real-world impacts of draconian policies.” Plus: “It takes a lot to shock me, but, after following the lab-leak debate for four years, I continue to be stunned by the duplicity of Anthony Fauci and other leading health officials on this issue. I’ve written column after column about how Fauci and his nominal boss, National Institutes of Health head Francis Collins, joined several key virus researchers in scrambling to distract Congress, the press, and the public from questions about their long-standing links to the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Indeed, long before most American conservatives had even heard the term ‘lab leak,’ Fauci was denouncing the idea as a nutty conspiracy theory. Today we know there was a conspiracy. But it had nothing to do with a few dissident scientists and journalists asking questions about the origin of the virus. The conspiracy was orchestrated by Fauci and his closest aides. Thanks to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests and other reporting, we can now see how Fauci strong-armed his fellow scientists to embrace a false consensus on the lab leak. (According to emails later released, even some of the scientists whom Fauci pushed to write the famous 2020 ‘Proximal Origin’ article—which claimed to disprove the lab-leak hypothesis—had doubts about their own paper’s conclusions.) Fauci and his team went on to conceal public records, bamboozle reporters, mislead Congress, and lean on social-media outlets to suppress inconvenient stories—all to cover up their possible complicity in the creation of Covid.” https://www.commentary.org/articles/james-meigs/fauci-covid-conspiracy/ And none of them has been prosecuted, or even tarred and feathered.

OLD SCHOOL: The rise of MEI: merit, excellence and intelligence. MEI — merit, excellence, and intelligence — will determine hiring at Scale AI, declares CEO Alexandr Wang in a statement. “That means we hire only the best person for the job, we seek out and demand excellence, and we unapologetically prefer people who are very smart.” An MIT dropout, Wang became the world’s youngest self-made billionaire at age 25, by supplying AI companies with “human workers and software services that label and test the data used to train” their models. “We do not unfairly stereotype, tokenize, or otherwise treat anyone as a member of a demographic group rather than as an individual,” Wang wrote. “We believe that people should be judged by the content of their character — and, as colleagues, be additionally judged by their talent, skills, and work ethic.” https://www.joannejacobs.com/post/the-rise-of-mei-merit-excellence-and-intelligence Beats the hell out of “Didn’t Earn It.” .

“EDUCATORS” SPREADING HATE-FILLED LIES: Teachers union head: ‘Conservatives don’t even want black children to be able to read.’ Stacy Gates, who sends her son to a private school, was responding to criticism of her union’s latest contract demands. It includes demands for illegal immigrants, abortions, and weight loss drugs. It will cost more than $50 billion. “Conservatives don’t even want black children to be able to read,” she said Sunday on WBBM, a local radio station. https://www.thecollegefix.com/teacher-union-head-conservatives-dont-even-want-black-children-to-be-able-to-read/ How people can spout nonsense like this is beyond me. .

Trump in Wisconsin yesterday. "The Democrats are making up stories that I said Milwaukee is a 'horrible city.' This is false, a complete lie..." "... just like the Laptop from Hell was a lie, Russia … was a lie, and so much more.... It’s called disinformation, and that’s all they know how to do. I picked Milwaukee, I know it well. It should therefore lead to my winning Wisconsin. But the Dems come out with this fake story, just like all of the others. It never ends. Don’t be duped. Who would say such a thing with that important state in the balance?" He also said this on Fox 6 News, which shows that he said something about Milwaukee: "I think it was very clear what I meant. We’re very concerned with crime. I love Milwaukee. But as you know the crime numbers are terrible, and we have to be very careful. But, I was referring to, also, the election." https://althouse.blogspot.com/2024/06/the-democrats-are-making-up-stories.html

@T master please don’t repost @BillStime’s crap pictures when responding to him. As a courtesy to the rest of us. Thanks

"What about me ?"

It's correct every time you say it.

Ahhhh, the old "attack the black guys credentials, instead of acknowledging what he said. Standard practice for those two. Meanwhile. Democrats Desperately Downplaying Trump’s Support From Black Voters – Trust Me, They’re Terrified By Rusty Weiss Top supporters of President Biden are fighting back against reports and polling numbers that show Donald Trump drawing unprecedented interest from black voters. It’s a desperate attempt to quell panic not seen since a violinist named Wallace Hartley convinced his 8-man band to keep playing orchestral music on the Titanic. Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC), whose endorsement of Biden prior to the South Carolina primary in 2020 is widely seen as a turning point in the former vice president’s campaign by securing black support in that state, is in full denial, saying “Something is amiss with the polling.” “Anybody who believes that Donald Trump will get 30 percent of the Black male vote or 12 percent of the Black female vote — I got a bridge down there on Johns Island I’ll sell you.” Clyburn said in January, however, that he was “very concerned” about the President’s sway with black voters. Now, as polling shows a significant shift in support from the black community, we’re being asked to believe there’s no concern. Surrogates for the Biden campaign have been fanning out on legacy media stations to deliver the same message that Clyburn has – It’s just “poor polling.” Despite the outward presentation, rest assured Democrats are in full-blown panic mode. https://redstate.com/rusty-weiss/2024/06/18/democrats-desperately-downplaying-trumps-support-from-black-voters-trust-me-theyre-terrified-n2175624 Coming soon: "yeah but who the hell is Rusty Weiss ?" LOL

There is NO 'reporting' anymore.

Democrats' 2024 Platform — Your Reality Is Wrong, Stupid Voters STEPHEN KRUISER “It’s not just the sobering reality of Biden’s behavior that the public is being told to ignore, it’s the harsh reality of the consequences of his policies too.” https://pjmedia.com/stephen-kruiser/2024/06/17/the-morning-briefing-dems-2024-platform-your-reality-is-wrong-stupid-voters-n4929948

"The Biden campaign seems to believe that journalists should stop reporting on polls, rallies, and other tentpoles of traditional presidential races..." "... and instead devote their resources to telling Americans that Trump wants to be a dictator, over and over again. If that means ignoring Biden’s missteps and weaknesses, well, the Biden campaign can accept that.... [V]ilifying the media has been a building block of Trump’s political identity.... Trump can win this race without favorable media coverage... Biden is in a different, arguably opposite position. His campaign argues that Democrats, unlike Republicans, are actually tethered to reality. Biden’s people are desperately trying to convince voters that the country is in much better shape than most Americans seem to believe. That elections are safe. That the economy, and unemployment, are not as bad as you’ve heard. Biden’s team needs voters to trust reputable publications that reliably print and publish facts—such as the [New York] Times and the [Wall Street] Journal. Then some campaign staffers and high-profile Democratic supporters turn around and attack these publications, in the process casting doubt on their reliability. It’s a losing proposition.... Biden’s belief in the Constitution means he supports a free and independent press. Authoritarians rise by lying and sowing mistrust...." Writes John Hendrickson, in "The Biden Campaign’s Losing Battle/Beating up on the media is Trumpian and ineffective" https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/the-biden-campaign-s-losing-battle/ar-BB1omXyX?ocid=BingNewsSerp

BACK TO THE THREAD.. The Obama/Biden arm-grab wasn’t just a senior moment — it was the moment everyone realized the president’s not fit for office by Piers Morgan They were only 10 words but wow, did they spark a reaction. I watched the viral clip of Barack Obama taking a frozen Joe Biden by the arm and leading him off stage at their star-studded $30 million LA fundraiser, and posted on X what I suspect everyone who watched it was thinking: “So embarrassing. The Democrats can’t let this go on, surely?” Within a few hours, a staggering 7.5 million people had viewed my post and many thousands of those had liked, reposted or commented on it. As I thought, the vast majority shared my honestly held opinion that President Biden is no longer fit for the highest office in America. I don’t mean that he’s too incompetent for the job, although many would say he is. No, I mean that he’s too physically and mentally unfit to function at the extremely high level required to be leader of not just the United States, but also the free world. When the last Democrat to occupy the White House has to literally grab the current one because he notices he’s had yet another “senior moment” and appears to be paralyzed like a statue on stage, it has to be the wake-up call everyone in the party must urgently heed before it’s too late, doesn’t it? We’re only five months away from the 2024 general election, but what is now painfully obvious is that Joe Biden’s already cooked as a candidate. There is not a snowball’s chance in hell that he can possibly get through another four-year term of presidency — and everyone knows it. https://nypost.com/2024/06/17/opinion/obama-biden-arm-grab-was-the-moment-everyone-realized-the-presidents-not-fit-for-office/
