Highlights of the News

DeSantis kept the state open, and now the state is Republican.

ITEM 1: The biggest news of the day comes from Russia's RT.

RT reported, "Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid has made it clear that his country can use force to curb Iran’s nuclear development without informing US President Joe Biden."

That is the wildest change in U.S.-Israel relations in my lifetime, a complete reversal. This is Israel's Let's Go Brandon.

I don't blame Israel. Obama and Biden are anti-Semites on the order of Louis Farrakhan. Under Biden, Israel is treated like an enemy, and Iran as a friend.

Israel is alone against Iran now. It is sad. It pleases every dictator in the world, too. 

ITEM 2: Biz Pac Review reported, "A massive snowstorm hit northern Virginia resulting in thousands of drivers being stranded on I-95 for many hours overnight, some abandoning their cars for shelter as liberals mistakenly blamed newly-elected incoming Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin for the disaster."

His term begins January 15.

Hopefully, the traffic jam will end by then.

But why do we blame politicians for the weather? 

ITEM 3: Senator Tim Kaine was caught in the DC traffic jam for at least 19 hours.

Props, baby. Props.

ITEM 4: The New York Post reported, "The pizza chain Little Caesars is bumping the price of its famous Hot-N-Ready pizza above $5 for the first time in a quarter-century, according to reports. 

"The price of the promotional pie, which was first introduced in 1997 through advertising shaker boards, is increasing by 11% to cost $5.55. Up from its longstanding $5 price point, the new and improved version of the Hot-N-Ready pizza will now also come with 33% more pepperoni, Forbes reported."

So now at Little Caesar's, you get cheese, pepperoni, and Bidenflation.

ITEM 5: Republican Senator Ron Johnson tweeted, "Once again the COVID gods are attacking truth. I won’t apologize for being in awe of creation or for the assumption that immunity from COVID infection might outperform immunity created in a lab.

"Unfortunately, the vaccines aren’t as safe or effective as we hoped.

"The truth is, the fully vaccinated and boosted can get infected and are transmitting the disease. Biden and the COVID gods don’t want people to know that, just like they ignored and sabotaged early treatment. 

"Reality is dawning and they don’t want to be held accountable. So they lie, distort, and cover up. They can’t admit they’ve been wrong, because their mismanagement cost lives.

"They will use all their substantial power to divert attention away from their culpability."

I don't blame covid on the government.

I do blame the disastrous shutdowns on the government. Covid overwhelmed the medical bureaucracy. Rather than say, we don't know how to stop it, they pushed social distancing, masks, and staying indoors. Frankly, those nearly daily rides in my convertible helped me mentally and likely physically.

By the way, I had the top down and was riding around on New Year's Eve. They put heaters in a car for a reason.

ITEM 6: USA Today reported on its own poll. It said, "By nearly 4-to-1, 71%-19%, Americans say the nation's democracy is weaker than it was four years ago."

71% of Americans of all stripes believe democracy is weaker under Biden than it was under President Trump.

Small wonder USA Today buried that fact in Paragraph 18.

ITEM 7: Western Journal reported, "As Democrats and their mainstream media allies lather up to commemorate Friday’s anniversary of the Jan. 6 Capitol incursion like it was the firing on Fort Sumter, House Republicans this week are accusing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of deliberately stonewalling the release of information about her own role in the events of the day.

"And with the Democrats’ hold on power in the House looking shaky ahead of this year’s midterm elections, Pelosi’s partisans should be getting nervous.

"While the committee’s clear purpose is to smear former President Donald Trump and his supporters, the country might be getting a different view of how Pelosi and her party are actually operating.

"In a letter released Monday, Illinois Republican Rep. Rodney Davis, the ranking minority member of the House Administration Committee, called out Pelosi for refusing repeatedly over the past year to cooperate with their requests for information from House officers who answer directly to the speaker’s office."

After their Keystone Kops (and deadly) performance a year ago tomorrow, Pelosi's Palace Guard needs a stem-to-stern overhaul. She won't rein them in. Maybe Republicans will.

ITEM 8: The Epoch Times reported, "Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W. Va.) says he is opposed to Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-N.Y.) proposal to change Senate rules in order to pass legislation that would federalize elections, striking another blow to Democratic aspirations to overrule tightened election measures in state houses across the nation."

Manchin served a term as secretary of state of West Virginia. I believe that taught him the importance of fair and honest elections. He may cave on the BBB, but he likely will fight this one to his death.

ITEM 9: Via J.D. Rucker, Fox Business host Kennedy told viewers, “I recently had Covid… again. So the virus has once again become intensely personal, and now I’m pissed. Like many of you, I took all the recommended steps and took the necessary precautions, but like a fool I figured if I had been previously infected and vaccinated, well, I’d be safe.”

Everything they said about covid is a lie. They sit on thrones of lies. 

ITEM 10: NYT said, "Europe Plans to Say Nuclear Power and Natural Gas Are Green Investments."

The Eurocrats see the light.

It is either nukes or candles. Take your pick.

ITEM 11: The New York Post reported, "Sex offender named ‘Pirate’ sentenced for burning disabled woman."

The story said, "An Idaho sex offender named “Pirate” was sentenced Tuesday to time served for burning a disabled woman with a cigarette.

"Pirate, who spent a year in jail before he was released last month, won’t do any more time behind bars for the crime but was ordered to pay $515 as part of a plea deal, East Idaho News reported."

He legally changed his name from Daniel Selovich to Pirate.

This century sucks.

ITEM 12: The Wall Street Journal reported, "Walmart, Kroger Raise Prices of Covid-19 Test Kits, Retailers’ price increases for hard-to-find BinaxNOW rapid tests follow expiration of deal with White House to sell them for $14."

The price is now $24 because Biden does not know the Art of the Deal.

ITEM 13: CNBC reported, "A record 4.5 million workers quit their jobs in November."

Please rise for our national anthem, as sung by Johnny Paycheck.

ITEM 14: Just the News reported, "Georgia authorities have launched an investigation into an allegation of systematic ballot harvesting during the state's 2020 general election and subsequent U.S. Senate runoff and may soon issue subpoenas to secure evidence, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger confirmed to Just the News.

"Georgia law strictly prohibits third-party activists from picking up and delivering ballots on behalf of voters, a tactic called harvesting that liberal organizers have tried to get legalized in many battleground states without success. The U.S. Supreme Court this summer rejected Democrat efforts to overturn an Arizona law that outlawed harvesting in the battleground state.

"Raffensperger, who is seeking reelection in 2022, led a successful effort in 2019 to strengthen Georgia's prohibition against harvesting ahead of the 2020 presidential election, and defeated an effort by prominent Democrat lawyer Marc Elias to overturn the harvesting ban. Raffensperger also reviewed and rejected claims by former President Donald Trump of widespread fraud during the 2020 election in a series of contacts under investigation by a local district attorney in Atlanta and the Jan. 6 select committee in Congress."

I hope along with prosecution the investigation turns into a textbook for Republicans on how to harvest those votes.

ITEM 15: You don't need to know how a calendar works to be a Never Trumper.

Ralph Northam is the governor of Virginia. Glenn Youngkin will be sworn in on January 15.

ITEM 16: The Post Millennial reported, "The organizers behind the Women for America First 'Save America' rally that occurred on the morning of January 6, Amy and Kylie Jane Kremer, have sent a letter to Rolling Stone through their lawyer, demanding that the outlet retract false statements made about them in a November article."

Should have stuck to interviewing Disney pop idols, grandpa.

ITEM 17: The Epoch Times reported, "Oklahoma Bill Would Allow Parents to Remove Sexually Themed Books From School Libraries."

No porn in school libraries. 

The left cries censorship.

FINALLY, the Washington Times reported, "NASCAR has officially rejected Brandon Brown’s 'Let’s Go Brandon' sponsorship deal."

No surprise.

Gotta know how to turn left to drive in NASCAR.

  2. Item 5: Sabotaging early treatment is worthy of new Nuremberg trials. I hope we get to see them.

    Health officials like Fauci, Collins and Birx, doctors, hospital administrators, researchers have known since March 2020 that there are several FDA approved drugs with long safety records given to billions over the years that stop the virus and prevent 80% of hospitalizations and deaths if given in the early days of symptoms. Cost= pennies. But they gaslight us and replace the facts with alarming fear porn propaganda and telling us to do exactly what 100 years of public health experience has proven NOT to do.

    Just increasing vitamin D levels would have gone a long way to keeping people from getting the virus. A daily solution of 1% povidone-iodine and water in the nasal cavity would kill most of the virus before it could make the individual sick. Cost = pennies. Advising people to lose weight to decrease their risk of complications would have saved 50% of those hospitalized.

    Those doctors and nurses with success treating patients and keeping their symptoms mild were attacked, threatened and fired for doing so. World wide. Why? Who are the people who benefitted financially from these decisions. Follow the money.

    We are at war with an enemy who looks just like us. They decide how to thin the herd. We are the herd. They hate us.

    3. This has always been about the money. I've been vaccinated through the booster. The booster because I was told I was high risk. Anyway when I got my second shot and they told me not to laminate the card because there was probably going to a booster my comment was "cha ching." When the flap about ivermectin being a dewormer, it was the same time that the CDC was promoting the booster. Nothing is by accident in Washington.

    4. I am very much familiar with the AIDS debate, as I followed it for 35 years, ever since the media declared that a million New York City residents would die of the dreaded disease by 1991. In 1993, a group of clinicians at Australia's Royal Perth Hospital, investigating a large number of purported cases in Thailand, found that a history of malaria infection generated false positives on standard HIV tests. They investigated further and found that numerous conditions caused false positives, flu shots, to cite one example. Thus was Fauci and Big Pharma pushing toxic drugs on otherwise healthy people. They dismissed those scientists who questioned the HIV=AIDS hypothesis not just rudely, but thuggishly. See www.virusmyth.com for the debate up to 2002 and the 2009 documentary film "House of Numbers," available on YouTube.

  8. Item 5: “I had the top down and was riding around on New Year's Eve.” When I had a Miata, I used to drive on the Interstate with the top down in the rain. I discovered that even in a heavy rain, I would not get wet if I kept the speed above 45 mph. The air flowing up the windshield and over the car formed a protective bubble. I’d get the strangest looks from people in other cars, though. The only problem was getting off the Interstate in the rain with the top down. They put leather seats in a car for a reason.

    Item 12: “Walmart, Kroger Raise Prices of Covid-19 Test Kits” My wife and I got a BinaxNOW at Sam’s Club before our Christmas Lights event, just in case. As I reported last week, she woke up one morning with a cough and slight fever. She started a 5-day course of HCQ, which our PCP had prescribed in case we got malaria (he was not allowed to prescribe it for COVID). She took two Binax tests 48 hours apart and both were negative. She still has a bit of a cough, but we’re preparing for a county fair that starts in a little over 3 weeks.

    10 - a rare instance of me wanting us to be more like Europe. Build nuclear plants!!

    14 - raffensberger and the Governor must be having buyers remorse. Their actions led to the democrats stealing Georgia for Xiden and the two senators. Too late. Sorry. I hope you both get primaried.

  18. re: item 2- Snowstorm in northern Virginia. Coming from the land of ice and snow, the safest thing that you can do as a driver is cut your speed. You can't drive as fast because it just isn't safe with uncleared snow and often ice. Also, don't follow too closely. You can also use common sense and stay home unless your trip is essential. You can also put snow tires on your car, which is a good thing to do if you live in an area that gets consistent snowfall. Winter driving is an art.

    3. Snow, cold and ice can kill. In Montreal, average snowfall is about 200 centimetres, which is about 82 inches. Even we sometimes forget how to drive at the beginning of the season. So far this winter, we have light snowfall which happens. It is not due to climate change.

      Delete
    4. In Snowgander Country (TM), the average is 120 inches...

      A big problem in those regions is that no one has winter tires. Winter tires are about more than tread (or metal studs); the rubber used in the sidewalls is formulated to be more flexible in cold conditions, and this cold-temperature flexibility provides much of the traction ability.

      Delete
    5. Snowtires are essential and your description of them is correct. In Quebec, of course they are government mandated and you can't drive legally without them. regions of Quebec get as much snow or more as Snowgander country. Seven to eight feet of snow in a major city like Montreal is hell. We have to put our snowtires on Dec. 1 and they come off on April 15. It's the law!

    6. Driving in snow is indeed an art. Too fast you wreck, but too slow is not good either. If you don't have enough momentum, you will be spinning and soon stuck.

  19. A number of years ago, about 10, as I recall the City of Seattle sold off a bunch of its snow removal equipment. Then it snowed that winter.
    "Climate Change" was blamed. First for the fact that the snow plows were not needed due to the imminent arrival of Malibu like weather in Seattle.Then, it was blamed for the 12+ inches of snow the following winter. They had to buy back all the equipment.

    2. "I will never take another expert as face value again." I've mentioned this before, but there is (US) case law that is helpful here.

      Case law clearly states that "expert testimony" that it not backed by facts and analysis should be given little weight.

      Just apply that standard, and if possible ask questions. "Expert opinion" that is just disembodied, unsupported opinion does not qualify (legally) as "expert opinion" - and the gasbag emitting it is (by legal definition) NOT an expert.

      An expert is also defined (in patent law and its case law) as "a person of extraordinary skill in the art."

      There is such a thing as expertise, and there are such things as (real) experts. The problem is that the overlap between real experts and phony "experts" is virtually nil.

  27. 2 - "But why do we blame politicians for the weather?" Why not start blaming the ones who claim that they can control it? Further, if humans can control the weather, since when do "they" get to choose the outcome? Wanna see these green windbags sweat? Let's start insisting that since they tell us that we *can* control the weather, then the weather should be chosen by "democratic processes." Let them ponder what type of weather people would vote for if they could.

    (N.b. - These people are both crazy and inept. They talk about weather as if it's something that can be controlled, yet they talk about the absurd overpricing of "education" (sic) as if it's just a geologic feature of some sort over which we have no control.)

    10 - The eurotwerps were doing the classic posturing due to available margin of error. But that margin has been eroding and even they can see how close it is now to the edge. Even they can ponder what would happen if, in winter, there is no heat. That's what finally did in the Ceausescus (no heat had everyone pretty much out of patience and out of fear in December 1989).

    I hear this all the time. There is this need for the media and our government overlords to make us think that there is no such thing as natural immunity. They suppress any study or any discussion about natural immunity. If you've had children, you understand from your pediatricians that part of our childhood is spent fighting off all the various viruses out there. "We just have to let it run its course," is something we heard over and over. "Give her some Molten to keep the fever down and lots of water or Pedialite..." As the kids developed more and more natural immunities, they experienced fewer and fewer trips to the doctors. Why? Natural immunity. Why do you think my wife and I never got sick even when dealing with puke and snotty noses. We have natural immunity.

    Now this new Chinese version is obviously different, hence the apt name including new, but it is still a virus. People who "let it run its course" and come out the other end alive will have Natural Immunity.

    So back to people who claim they have had multiple bouts with Covid 19. Poppycock! What they likely had was a false positive or they had influenza that the PCR test recognized as a positive. The CDC just admitted that such tests have been misidentifying influenza as the Chinese Flu.

    I cannot point to any studies proving my theories above because it's blasphemous to even think those thoughts and the Covidians would have me burned at the stake for merely mentioning such a thing but I don't think there are any studies out there that prove me wrong.

    1. Molten seems appropriate when dealing with a child's 104 degree temperature, but it was obviously Motrin.

    2. I think you are right. More molten, please.

  36. Item 11...First off, an "Angry Pirate" has nothing to do with burning someone with a cigarette, unless of course, he burned her in the eye and then kicked her shin. Secondly, I'm thinking he would have gotten off easier going with a "Spiderman", or possibly a "Donkey Punch". Either way, you can't make this guy up!!!
