RBG: will the GOP Senate do the right thing?

Posted on by

Since the passing of US Supreme Court Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Friday, September 18th, at home, at the age of 87, the world has turned upside down. Many issues are on the table.

Her personal life and her impact has already been discussed in ways I can’t begin to address and won’t. What I will do is address her politics and then the politics of “okay, so what next”?

Personally I’m sure she was a good woman — and it’s clear she had numerous challenges in her life, from her multiple bouts with cancer to her husband Marvin passing at the age of 78 back in 2010 of metastatic cancer himself.

That’s the personal aside. Now to politics. And that is this, which apparently no one save me seemed to notice or much care about.

How can an actual sitting Associate Supreme Court Justice eschew the United States Constitution when talking with a foreign power — in this case Egypt — about creating their own constitution?

If she doesn’t recommend our Constitution to anyone else in 2012, how can she be trusted to uphold it when anything comes before her?

Why would that be? I submit: positive vs negative rights.

The US Constitution is crafted in such a way as to tell our government what it can’t do against its citizens.

The rights granted United States citizens come from God, not government.

Our rights are “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” as set forth in the Declaration of Independence. Nowhere does any document guarantee any outcome whatsoever, nor should it. Opportunity? Of course so. For everyone.

However, it is the responsibility of persons to act, well, responsibly.

The vacancy created? We know that nature abhors a vacuum. And whereas before, Republicans were historically hesitant to wield power when they had it, it appears Mitch McConnell is set to deliver again — in re Merrick Garland.

Of course, that’s when the threats and screaming began.

Senate Minority Leader Chuckie Schumer also started screaming. And the body hadn’t even cooled yet on the 18th.

Schumer: Ruth Bader Ginsburg seat should be filled by next president

by Jordain Carney, 9-18-20

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Friday night that the Senate should wait until next year to fill the Supreme Court seat left vacant by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg‘s death.

“The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president,” Schumer said in a tweet.

Schumer’s tweet comes less than an hour after news broke that Ginsburg had died Friday at 87, throwing a landmine into an already chaotic presidential election year.

Schumer’s tweet is a word-for-word copy of a statement Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) released in 2016 after the election-year death of the late conservative Justice Antonin Scalia.

It also points to the looming battle over whether Senate Republicans will try to fill the seat in an election year, after leaving Scalia’s seat open until 2017 when President Trump appointed and the GOP-controlled Senate confirmed Justice Neil Gorsuch.

As the revered Barack Hussein Obama once chirped at Republicans, “elections have consequences.”

Did you ever know Demorats not to wield power when they had it? Hold back? Become remarkably circumspect, packed with good tidings, bipartisanship and compromise? Fuck no.

In a role reversal, do you possibly think they’d stop from filling the SCOTUS vacancy? Not on your damned life.

History Is on the Side of Republicans Filling a Supreme Court Vacancy in 2020

by Dan McLaughlin, 8-7-20

Choosing not to fill a vacancy would be a historically unprecedented act of unilateral disarmament.

If a Supreme Court vacancy opens up between now and the end of the year, Republicans should fill it. Given the vital importance of the Court to rank-and-file Republican voters and grassroots activists, particularly in the five-decade-long quest to overturn Roe v. Wade, it would be political suicide for Republicans to refrain from filling a vacancy unless some law or important traditional norm was against them. There is no such law and no such norm; those are all on their side. Choosing not to fill a vacancy would be a historically unprecedented act of unilateral disarmament. It has never happened once in all of American history. There is no chance that the Democrats, in the same position, would ever reciprocate, as their own history illustrates.

History supports Republicans filling the seat. Doing so would not be in any way inconsistent with Senate Republicans’ holding open the seat vacated by Justice Antonin Scalia in 2016. The reason is simple, and was explained by Mitch McConnell at the time. Historically, throughout American history, when their party controls the Senate, presidents get to fill Supreme Court vacancies at any time — even in a presidential election year, even in a lame-duck session after the election, even after defeat. Historically, when the opposite party controls the Senate, the Senate gets to block Supreme Court nominees sent up in a presidential election year, and hold the seat open for the winner. Both of those precedents are settled by experience as old as the republic. Republicans should not create a brand-new precedent to deviate from them.

I bet Biden wishes he hadn’t said this.

So: yes, President Trump did consult with the Senate. Check. And mate.

Does anyone remember what occurred with nominee Clarence Thomas in 1991?

Because, well, if you’re voting for Trump, “you ain’t black.”

“Come on, man!”

And as I said, let the threats commence. From the WashingtonExaminer.com:

‘Over our dead bodies’: Liberals threaten to ‘burn it all down’ if GOP replace Ginsburg before Election Day

by Andrew Mark Miller, 9-19-20

Former CNN host Reza Aslan joined several other verified Twitter accounts in threatening violence if Senate Republicans attempt to fill the Supreme Court seat of the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

“Over our dead bodies. Literally,” Aslan wrote in response to a tweet saying Sen. Mitch McConnell intends to fill Ginsberg’s seat, shortly after it was announced Friday that she had died at the age of 87.

Aslan also tweeted, “If they even TRY to replace RBG we burn the entire f—ing thing down.”

“If McConnell jams someone through, which he will, there will be riots,” Washington Post and GQ writer Laura Bassett said.

Director of Communications at the Anti-Violence Project Eliel Cruz agreed with Willimon’s calls to shut things down by calling on people to march on Washington and “just shut it down ourselves.”

Aaron Gouveia, author of a new book titled Raising Boys To Be Good Men: A Parent’s Guide to Bringing Up Happy Sons in a World Filled with Toxic Masculinity, responded to McConnell’s call to fill the vacant seat by tweeting, “F— no. Burn it all down.”

Writer and LGBT activist Charlotte Clymer opted not to wait until Republicans pushed a Ginsburg replacement through, deciding instead to head straight to McConnell’s home on Friday night.

“We’re now walking to Mitch McConnell’s house to protest,” Clymer said before tweeting out the intersection that McConnell allegedly lives on.

“His house is entirely dark,” she said later. “Significant police presence out front. It’s clear that he’s not here, as confirmed by a neighbor who is not fond of him. People are going home.”

Because that’s where the Demorat Party is these days.

McConnell received some support from fellow Republicans, including Sen. Ted Cruz, who agreed that a replacement should be voted on before the election, arguing that voters went to the polls in 2016 with the understanding they would likely be voting for the president who would fill Ginsburg’s seat.

“The president should next week nominate a successor to the court, and I think it is critical that the Senate takes up and confirms that successor before Election Day,” the Texas Republican said Friday night. “This nomination is why Donald Trump was elected.”

Then the standard Mark I, Model I JAFRs weighed in.

Several Senate Republicans, including Sen. Lisa Murkowski and Sen. Susan Collins, have made statements this year suggesting they would not support filling a SCOTUS vacancy this close to an election.

Democrats began vehemently opposing the move to fill the seat before the election immediately following Ginsburg’s death.

As indicated, there’s precedent.

There is historical precedent, as American Enterprise Institute fellow and former speechwriter for George W. Bush Marc Thiessen pointed out on Twitter, for Republicans to fill the seat so close to an election.

“*29 Presidents have had election year or lame duck vacancy -—all nominated someone,” Thiessen tweeted. “*8 x before election when other party controlled Senate — only 1 succeed. *10x before election when Pres and senate controlled by same party — 9 succeeded.”

Nancy Pelosi, of course, weighed in — in her preternaturally-cogent way.

But wait. The Demorats insisted a vacant SCOTUS seat be filled. At the end of Obama’s term. What changed?

But wait. Again. Didn’t Ruth Bader Ginsburg say something about this as well?

Here’s What RBG Said About Filling a SCOTUS Vacancy in an Election Year

by Matt Margolis, 9-19-20

As the debate over what to do about the vacancy on the Supreme Court is only getting started, perhaps we should heed the advice of the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg herself as to what to do.

When a similar scenario occurred four years ago, following the death of Antonin Scalia, the Republican-controlled Senate blocked Barack Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court. It was a controversial move, and Ginsburg had something to say about it:  Ginsburg publicly called on the Senate to go through with the nomination.

“That’s their job,” she said in July 2016. “There’s nothing in the Constitution that says the President stops being President in his last year.”

“Eight is not a good number for a collegial body that sometimes disagrees,” Ginsburg said on the issue a few months later during an event at the Smithsonian Museum of American History in Washington.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who was with her, agreed. “I think we hope there will be nine as quickly as possible.”

“What we do is we automatically affirm the decision of the court below. No opinion is written, no reasons are given, and the affirmance has no precedential value,” Ginsburg explained. “It’s just as though we denied review.”

There’s more. Here’s RBG from CNBC.com:

Ruth Bader Ginsburg says she opposes proposals from 2020 Democrats to expand the Supreme Court

by Tucker Higgins, 7-24-19

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg says she opposes proposals by Democratic presidential candidates to increase the number of seats on the Supreme Court because doing so would make it look partisan.

“It would be that — one side saying, ‘When we’re in power, we’re going to enlarge the number of judges, so we would have more people who would vote the way we want them to,’” Ginsburg told NPR in an interview that aired Wednesday.

“Nine seems to be a good number. It’s been that way for a long time,” she said Tuesday.

Several Democratic candidates have said they are open to increasing the size of the nine-justice court.

Former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke said shortly after entering the race that expanding the court to 15 members is an “idea we should explore.” Pete Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, has made court reform a centerpiece of his campaign, including the idea of court expansion. Sens. Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren and Kirsten Gillibrand have said they are open to the idea.

But Ginsburg, the court’s most senior liberal justice, said the idea contradicts the premise of an independent judicial branch.

But guaranteed, very very guaranteed, you have NEVER heard of these stories or heard these audio cuts from the American Media Maggots. Purposely. You cannot afford to be actually informed or you begin to think clearly and independently.

Texas Senator Ted Cruz wrote:

Sen. Ted Cruz: After Ginsburg — 3 reasons why Senate must confirm her successor before Election Day

Here’s why President Trump must nominate a successor next week and why the Senate must confirm that successor before Election Day:

First, this nomination is why the American people elected Donald Trump as president and this confirmation is why the American people voted for a Republican majority in the U.S. Senate.

Second, twenty-nine times in our nation’s history we’ve seen a Supreme Court vacancy in an election year or before an inauguration and in every instance, the president proceeded with a nomination.

And finally, as we approach what is likely to be a contested election that hangs in the balance of the Supreme Court, our nation is at risk of a constitutional crisis without nine justices on the bench.

Obama himself said in 2016:

Note how the UK Daily Mail portrays RBG’s death:

Trump is expected to ignore RBG’s dying wish and nominate her replacement in days while Biden demands he wait until after the election so the American people can decide

  •  It was the dying wish of late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who passed away Friday, that the next president nominate her replacement

  • Trump is set to ignore her and announce a nomination in the coming days

  • His rival Biden has already hit out and demanded he wait until after the election

  • Even if Trump does nominate in the next few days, a group of rebel GOP senators may stop it being approved 

  • Senators Mitt Romney and Lisa Murkowski are among those expected to oppose a vote 

As if death wishes or emotions take precedent over the US Constitution.

As it is, Demorats refuse to face the difficult truth: if Ruth Bader Ginsburg weren’t all taken by herself, and if the Demorats under Obama were playing tactically, she would have retired and Obama could have appointed her replacement quite easily.

But no. That was her decision. And their decision. No one hosed the Demorats but Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the Demorats themselves.

At this point, it appears that Chuck Grassley and Mitt Romney have said they’ll vote in the Senate instead of refusing to vote.

Trump is expected to announce his nomination for SCOTUS this Friday or Saturday.

I suggest it may be Amy Coney Barrett.

And then next Tuesday? Will there be an actual debate between President Trump and Joe Biden? Will Joe suddenly be feeling poorly?

Time will tell.

Coronavirus update, Pt II

Posted on by

Very little you think you know about Wuhan-19 is real. Why would that be? Because most everyone has been lying to you for quite some time about the figures and statistics.

For political purposes.

You absolutely, undeniably, must understand that in an election year, everything is about the election. That’s the very first given.

The second given, for me, is that I have disabused, dragged kicking and screaming, into realizing that little if anything is a “coincidence” any more. Way too many incidents and elements have come together in something of the proverbial “Perfect Storm” to lend any credence to the word “coincidence.”

And within this encompassing, I’m going to examine “the science,” because “the science” is allegedly what all of these closures and lockdowns are about, are they not? With one glaring exception and miscalculation.

There is no such thing as “the science.” There are scientific opinions about, but saying there is “the science” about Wuhan-19 is like getting a bunch of doctors in a room and talking about “the science” of the common cold. Thirty-seven doctors, thirty-seven opinion.

And — if you’re an actual adult — wouldn’t that be what you want? Isn’t that why you’re told, consulting a doctor, that if you wish you should seek another OPINION? And that is also why doctors PRACTICE medicine, because there is no “one right way” to consider a given topic of medicine, to be a proper “medical practitioner”?

But as you will soon discover, to Leftists and those who immediately drew politics into the Wuhan-19 arena at the very earliest opportunity this year, there is only “the science.” Their science. No one else’s.

Oh. Except when Leftists told you it was, you know, “no big deal.”

Other possibilities cannot be considered other than those of Leftists and the doctors and organizations they own, including diagnoses, prophylactic implementations of medicine, precautions, applications, advice, medical solutions, and recovery.

There is one way. And one way only.

To the point where, according to social media giants such as Google, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and Twitter — even considering another solution or even an opinion is something that is dangerous and must not even be shown or exposed to the public.

Where once multiple opinions of doctors were thought to be pro forma and advisable, today in Leftist Land they are absolutely verboten and cannot even be discussed or addressed. Not a word, not a sentence, not even a few seconds of heretical video! Disbeliever! Nonconformist! Renegade! Apostate!

Now let’s look at some facts and alternatives to the lockstep presentations demanded by Leftists and Demorats, and provide you with stories, articles, interviews and information that the American Media Maggots, along with the Demorats and Leftists, have done their very level best to ensure you never — and I mean never — see, hear or read.

First, let’s begin with “the science” itself.

From the Federalist.com:

Why We Can’t Trust Anything ‘The Science’ Says Any More

by Joy Pullmann, 7-10-20

These scientists are attempting to hide information that doesn’t conform to what roving violent mobs are attempting to impose at the blunt ends of bricks, sticks, and guns.

Despite standing behind their data and method used to conclude there is “no evidence of anti-Black [sic] or anti-Hispanic disparities across [fatal police] shootings,” a study’s authors want to retract their work because it contradicts left-wing politics.

“Although our data and statistical approach were valid to estimate the question we actually tested (the race of civilians fatally shot by police), given continued misuse of the article (e.g., MacDonald, 2020) we felt the right decision was to retract the article,” Michigan State University’s Joseph Cesario and the University of Maryland at College Park’s David Johnson wrote in their retraction request, according to the blog Retraction Watch.

Okay, do you understand what they said? Politics just killed the science and eradicated all the statistics gathered — because scientists didn’t like how, politically, their material was being used. Oh, the information was correct. They just politically despised some of the end-users of the material.

And now, did you notice, we have to have a blot called RETRACTION WATCH for those stories, like this, “dangerously” reveal information that isn’t politically correct and therefore SHOULDN’T BE KNOWN and SHOULDN’T BE READ — justifying the ELIMINATION of the elimination?

Cesario and Johnson link to work by the Manhattan Institute’s Heather Mac Donald, who is often viciously protested for publicizing data indicating that racial disparities in policing and crime are typically due not to racism but to higher rates of criminal behavior among blacks and Hispanics as compared to whites and Asians.

I’ve gone through all of this before. Blacks commit a greater amount of crimes that whites, in percentage, despite being only 13% of the US population. That is a fact. YUFAM blacks — Young, Urban Fighting Age Males. But you can’t say that.

Some research finds black Americans are more likely to be involved in physical altercations with police, although it is currently not established whether that is due to racism, behavior differences, or something else.

THIS:

Research also has found that black officers shoot black suspects at the same rate white officers do, and that police are if anything more reluctant to shoot nonwhites. The latter is the main conclusion of the study Cesario and Johnson want to retract due not to scientific error but to politics. (my emphasis)

Their finding directly contradicts the left-wing narrative fomenting riots across the nation after George Floyd, a black man with illicit drugs in his blood, died after a nearly nine-minute chokehold from a Minneapolis police officer. Floyd, a multi-time convicted criminal who once held a gun to a pregnant black woman’s belly during a robbery, was used as a pretext to revive the narrative that all U.S. police officers are racist and so is the country and the rule of law they represent.

‘The Science’ Is a Mask for Arbitrary Power

These researchers are attempting to hide information that doesn’t support policies roving violent mobs are attempting to impose at the blunt ends of bricks, sticks, and guns. This bias and cowardice is only the tip of the iceberg of the scientific corruption we’ve been seeing increase since, perhaps, the scientific method became accepted as a valid way to perceive reality.

But here’s the crux of the biscuit for this post.

Another pervasive recent example is, of course, the use of “science” as a shield for politicians to make largely arbitrary, ill-informed, and oftentimes abusive decisions about how to handle COVID-19. In recent months, we’ve been told that “science says” so many contradictory and even flat-out false things, it’s hard to even keep track of them all.

Science says don’t wear a mask. Except that you absolutely should wear a mask. Even though it isn’t recommended by medical scientists using data from other respiratory disease outbreaks. But it’s still helpful. Or actually it’s not really, according to the Centers for Disease Control in 2017. Yet you should still wear a mask, or else. Who knows?

Science says gathering in groups will spread coronavirus. Except if those groups are thousands of anti-America protesters crowding together on hot streets. Oh, wait, yes, that actually does spread the disease. And so does attending church. But not going to the grocery store. While going to the beach is dangerous. Except being outside is actually about the safest place you can be.

Except that there are second waves of transmission in hot, summery places where lots of people outside. The science said summer would slow the virus. Except now it’s not, and you need to stay inside. Except when you’re going outside. But don’t you dare plant your garden when you’re out there, or go to your cabin. But other people from other states can go to their cabins in your state. Because science!

Hold that thought. We might revisit this article.

Everyone realizes that Wuhan-19 wasn’t important until Leftists finally realized that it was important. Here’s New York Mayor Warren Wilhelm saying “nah, it’s all good.”

Here’s Mayor Wilhelm on March 10th of 2020.

(Hey, as an aside, what’s up with all the Leftist fake names anyway?)

President Trump decided to stop US taxpayer dollars from flowing into the WHO, the World Health Organization, which is nothing more than a shilling front for China. Here’s an article you didn’t hear about, from TheBlaze.com:

World Health Organization admits China never reported coronavirus outbreak

The WHO changes its tune after a damning report about China’s COVID-19 response from House Republicans

TheBlaze, 7-3-20

The World Health Organization backtracked on their claim that China alerted the international public health agency about the initial coronavirus outbreak. The WHO now admits that China never notified them about the onset of the deadly disease.

“After months of investigating, it’s become crystal clear the Chinese Communist Party’s cover-up of the coronavirus, especially in the early days of the outbreak, played a significant role in turning what could have been a local epidemic into a global pandemic,” Rep. Michael McCaul (Texas), lead Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee and a member of Congress’s China Task Force, said last month.

Didn’t hear about that from the American Media Maggots.

We have this from the WashingtonExaminer.com:

White House official: Beijing allowed Chinese nationalists ‘to seed and spread’ coronavirus in US

by Mike Brest, 7-3-20

White House economic adviser Peter Navarro claimed that the Chinese government knowingly allowed people who had contracted the coronavirus to travel overseas before the virus was declared a pandemic.

“I want everybody right here today, as the day before America’s Independence Day, to understand where this virus started — with the Chinese Communist Party that is making us stay locked in our homes and lose our jobs. They spawned the virus. They hid the virus. They sent hundreds of thousands of Chinese nationalists over here to seed and spread the virus,” Navarro said.

“Here’s the point: While they were preventing any domestic travel from Wuhan to Beijing or Shanghai, locking down their transportation network, they freely sent hundreds of thousands of Chinese nationals on aircraft to go around the world,” the White House adviser explained before the host interjected again.

There is evidence that China covered up the coronavirus’s spread, muzzled whistleblowers, intimidated doctors, misled the World Health Organization, and blocked outside health experts. In April, the U.S. intelligence community reportedly believed that the Chinese Communist Party downplayed the outbreak and that China continued to mislead the world. Just this week, the World Health Organization backtracked on its assertion that the Chinese government alerted the United Nations agency about the coronavirus outbreak.

I wrote, at length, about the egregious decision by New York’s Governor Andrew Cuomo mandating the placement of hot Wuhan-19 patients into state nursing facilities, where the elderly were thusly sentenced to die. Cuomo doubled down on his decision and then said he was not to be blamed for those deaths. Ask Janice Dean who is responsible.

Janice Dean blasts NY Gov. Cuomo’s ‘tone-deaf’ media tour: ‘It’s not funny’

by Victor Garcia, 7-16-20

Fox News meteorologist blasts governor’s ‘arrogance’ on handling coronavirus

Fox News’ chief meteorologist Janice Dean strongly criticized New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo Wednesday, slamming the political leader for taking a victory lap for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and ignoring that thousands of New Yorker died, including her elderly in-laws.

“My husband lost both of his parents. His mom died in an assisted living facility and his dad in a nursing home. They died of coronavirus alone. We never had a funeral. We never had a wake. We weren’t able to see them before they died,” Dean said on “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”

“And to see Governor Cuomo on television just this past week talking about his love life and this disgusting poster that is basically a depiction of 32,000 people that died? It’s not funny. It’s tone-deaf. And it makes my heart hurt because we’re still mourning our loved ones. And we think that part of the reason is because Governor Cuomo allowed over 6,000 COVID-recovering patients into nursing homes for 46 days straight.”

We all realize, of course, that only the most valiant, pure and Mother Theresa-like values and motivations are at play here, during a pandemic, correct? Because, as Leftists, Demorats and the American Media Maggots insist, it is they who are certainly not politicizing something as horrible as a global virus, correct? The only motivations are those of discipline and selflessness.

Correct?

STUNNING: Fauci’s Remdesivir Costs $9 Per Dose, Will Be Sold at $3,000 per Treatment — China Company Linked to Soros Will Also Mass Produce the Drug

by Jim Hoft, 6-29-20

The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (https://aapsonline.org) filed a lawsuit against Department of Health and Human Services and the FDA for “irrational interference” by the FDA with timely access to hydroxychloroquine.

Never in history have we seen such a determined effort by the scientific community and pharmaceutical industry to downplay and lie about the use of a successful drug to treat a deadly disease.

But there was great pushback against hydroxychloroquine for two reasons. The first reason was because it was safe and very inexpensive. The second reason is because Donald Trump promoted its use.

Dr. Fauci did promote the use of remdesivir. He was excited to share the news on its effectiveness in April.

The one person behind the promotion of Gilead’s remdesivir is the doctor who has worked with Gilead for a long time, Dr. Fauci. He also has downplayed and criticized the use of the much cheaper drug hydroxychloroquine:

Pharmaceutical giant Gilead announced the pricing for its coronavirus drug remdesivir.

Gilead said the drug will cost $520 per vial, or $3,120 for a six-vial treatment.

Then something really bad began to happen. For Demorats and Leftists.

Daily COVID-19 Deaths in the U.S. Have Fallen Dramatically Since April

by Jacob Sullum, 6-22-20

The downward trend continued after states began lifting their lockdowns.

Amid concerns about post-lockdown increases in COVID-19 infections, there is one striking piece of good news: Daily deaths from the disease in the United States have fallen dramatically since April, and that downward trend has continued into June. Even taking into account the average lag between laboratory confirmation and death—about two weeks, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)—the loosening of restrictions on movement and economic activity that began at the end of April so far has not led to the surge in COVID-19 deaths that many lockdown supporters predicted.

Then something better happened for Demorats and Leftists. Numbers started to increase.

By the way, this video was removed wholesale from YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, like so many others. This is a running theme. No one wants you to hear the truth.

Melinda Gates: ‘Black People, Indigenous People’ Should Get Coronavirus Vaccine First

by Kyle Morris, 6-25-20

Bill Gates’ wife, Melinda, said last week during a virtual Forbes philanthropy summit with her husband that “black people” and “indigenous people” should receive the coronavirus vaccine first, if they are in the healthcare field.

Of course. No vaccines to Evil Whites. You know. Like themselves.

“Here in the United States, it’s going to be black people who really should get it first and many indigenous people, as well as people with underlying symptoms, and then elderly people.”

From Fox10Phoenix.com:

Oregon county to revise mask exemption for people of color due to ‘horrifically racist’ backlash

by Catherine Park, 6-24-20

One Oregon county has exempted people of color from its face covering mandate due to heightened concerns about racial profiling and harassment, according to a statement posted to Lincoln County’s website.

The announcement, made on June 17, was met with “horrifically racist commentary,” according to the statement. A higher than normal volume of calls have since been made to county municipalities, causing more harm than good, according to the county.

“We included the last protection for those within our communities of color who historically, and often personally, found themselves the victims of harassment and violence,” the statement read.

“After last month’s protests, the national attention given to issues of racism, police tactics and inequality, we felt this last exception would be embraced and understood as a small effort to start addressing the realities some of our neighbors deal with on a daily basis,” the statement continued.

Apparently, once again, Leftists and Demorats intending to kill black people.

And doing such a wonderful job of it too, as evidenced by Planned Parenthood, an organization adored by Demorats and created by the racist advocate of black genocide, Margaret Sanger.

But hey, a good black is a dead black. Just ask Leftists and Demorats. And blacks themselves because, clearly, in Leftist Urban Rat Cages, black lives don’t matter. Want statistical proof? Go to HeyJackass.com. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

And speaking of media lying bullshit, did you hear of NBC’s lies? Of course you didn’t.

NBC News Spent Weeks Reporting On A Contributor’s Journey Battling Coronavirus – But He Never Had It

by Shelby Talcott, 7-10-20

NBC News spent weeks documenting its science contributor’s battle with COVID-19, but now he admits that he never tested positive for it.

Dr. Joseph Fair, a virologist, believed he had the virus and appeared on air numerous times to discuss his struggle with illness in May and June. On Tuesday, Fair admitted that he tested negative for the virus multiple times but had originally believed he had it regardless. Fair also tested negative upon taking an antibody test.

But of course NBC kept the lying virologist on the air because they knew no one was paying any attention.

“My undiagnosed/suspected COVID illness from nearly 2 months ago remains an undiagnosed mystery as a recent antibody test was negative,” Fair tweeted Tuesday. “I had myriad COVID symptoms, was hospitalized in a COVID ward & treated for COVID-related co-morbidities, despite testing negative by nasal swab.”

I speak Leftist, so I’ll translate: “If you’re sufficiently stupid to believe me, I’ll be sufficiently agile in making you believe me. Because I, like you, have a victim card that I’m allowed to play — as a Leftist — and these moments are mine.”

In the meantime, “the science” continues to prove that there are two levels of laws, rules and regulations — one for the elites, and one for the proles, groundlings, servants, subjects, vassals, and serfs. You know: the little people.

D.C. Exempts Lawmakers, Government Employees From New Mask Order

by Josh Christenson, 7-23-20

Washington, D.C., mayor Muriel Bowser (D.) issued a universal masking order for her city Wednesday but exempted lawmakers, judges, and federal employees.

The order mandates the wearing of masks in all indoor and outdoor settings where social distancing cannot be observed. No other designated profession is exempt from wearing a mask, except when a piece of work equipment would preclude mask use. Consequences for ignoring the order include fines of up to $1,000.

The mayor’s office did not respond to a request for comment.

Apparently we are all unaware that, just like rioters, the Wuhan-19 knows how to avoid DC politicians and employees as well. Talk about a well-educated Chinese virus!

On June 18th in Kalifornia (always spell it with a “K”), Governor Newsom mandated that everyone wear a mask outside. That was an empty mandate as almost no one did — with the exception of those select few critical thinkers who somehow equate safety to wearing a mask inside their personal car.

And then on July 2nd, Governor Newsom completely failed to hide his disgust with any sort of religion save that of Islam, with the following:

Houses Of Worship Told To “Discontinue Singing” Under Order From Newsom As Pandemic Worsens

by Dale Kasler, 7-2-20

Californians are still free to attend their house of worship. But they’re not supposed to sing or chant.

Citing the risk of spreading the coronavirus, updated COVID-19 guidelines issued Wednesday by the state Department of Public Health say “places of worship must therefore discontinue singing and chanting activities.”

This is interesting in light of the fact that some of the agencies that may customarily tasked with enforcement are declining. Luckily, my local law enforcement agency has declared it’s not wedging its deputies between that rock and hard place.

Sacramento Sheriff, other capital agencies won’t enforce Newsom’s mask order. Here’s why

by Alexandra Yoon-Hendricks and Michael McGough, 6-20-20

The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office will not be enforcing the statewide order Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Thursday requiring masks and face coverings in public as coronavirus cases continue to increase in California.

In a statement Friday, the Sheriff’s Office recommended people should be “exercising safe practices” during the pandemic, including wearing masks, but said it would be “inappropriate” to criminally enforce the governor’s order, or target people and businesses for failing to do so.

“Due to the minor nature of the offense, the potential for negative outcomes during enforcement encounters, and anticipating the various ways in which the order may be violated, it would be inappropriate for deputies to criminally enforce the Governor’s mandate,” a statement from Sheriff Scott Jones said.

Agreed. One of a handful of Kalifornia (always spell it with a “K”) law enforcement administrators who still believe in their oaths of office.

In the meantime, you and I both knew inherently that very little of this Wuhan-19 thingie made a lot of sense. Of course things were confusing at first but, in retrospect, it would appear that certain personnel knew much more about it (I’m talking to you, Dr Anthony Fauci), and the drugs that could help — far before they let on.

From the very beginning our Spidey senses started tinging and we realized that very little of what we were told passed the proverbial “smell test.” Particularly when doctors themselves began to weigh in.

Also, we weren’t listening very closely as some administrators told us how the death statistics were gathered and under what parameters. Listen to this audio cut. Listen very carefully as the Illinois Director of Public Health, Dr Ngozi Ezike, explains how Wuhan-19 deaths are tallied and under what circumstances deaths are attributed to Wuhan-19. ”

This is a clear admission they were inflating the death numbers from Wuhan-19. “It doesn’t mean it was the cause of the death; but they had Covid at the time of death.”

Why?

Money.

Which is very interesting, because Minnesota Senator Scott Jensen (a medical doctor) already told us this. And because he was honest about this fact and said so out loud, people tried to destroy him. First, his initial revelation on the Laura Ingraham show on April 8th.

You see, people conveniently forget all of this. “People” being Leftists, Demorats and the American Media Maggots.

Then, Dr Scott Jensen explained what happened to him following his appearance.

Part II:

But all was not lost and “cancel culture” did not win his his instance.

If nothing else, I hope you have extruded something similar to “it appears ‘the science’ does not demand everyone stay away from work, from school, from people, from now until we have a vaccine — or even after that” from this post. “The science” appears to be far from that. And yes, again, “the science” does in fact get down to “keeping the nation in chaos, respectful of Fear Porn, in order that President Trump doesn’t acquire a second term.”

Here’s a Truism from Ann Coulter: “They need a shutdown during a falling death rate so they can credit the shutdown for the falling death rate.”

I will repeat this until it is understood. Shutting down our country again & again until the coronavirus disappears will not do anything except cause economic despair & lead to more catastrophic long-term health problems down the line. We can manage this without more lockdowns.

For my final illustration, there’s this from the NYPost.com — a situation I can guarantee you heard nothing of because the job of the American Media Maggots is to protect the Demorat Party — the Club of Original Racism — and all of its aligned anarchist elements.

COVID-19 patient was black and paralyzed, so doctors decided his life wasn’t worth saving

by Charles Camosy, 7-10-20
Last month, a disabled, 46-year-old African American man was euthanized without his consent or that of his wife. But rather than exploding amid our racial-justice moment, the story hardly yielded a peep from those who control our national discourse.
In 2017, Michael Hickson suffered a brain injury that left him paralyzed. Still, he was able to enjoy many activities: having books read to him, listening to music, answering trivia questions. He had memory problems, but he recalled his birthday and Social Security number with ease. Michael was leading the kind of life many people with disabilities do: not without difficulties but intrinsically valuable and dignified.
Then Michael contracted COVID-19 and was admitted to St. David’s Medical Center of South Austin, Texas. A disagreement over his care led to medical decision-making being taken away from his wife and given to the state and his medical team.

Michael Hickson. This is a human being. Covid made him nothing.

And I include the photo because it makes the situation even more obvious, striking and despicable.

Michael didn’t do well and needed intensive care. His wife, Melissa, apparently did not trust his medical team and decided to (legally) record the exchange she had with her husband’s doctor.
As the recording shows, they agreed that Michael should not be intubated, but Melissa still wanted Michael to be treated aggressively. The doctor insisted aggressive treatment wouldn’t “help him improve” and “right now, his quality of life . . . he doesn’t have much of one.”
Melissa was taken aback: “What do you mean?” she asked. “Because he’s paralyzed with a brain injury, he doesn’t have quality of life?”
“Correct,” the doctor flatly replied.
Pressed further by Melissa, who admirably kept her cool, the doctor admitted he’d had three patients survive who were in Michael’s situation but claimed her husband’s case “doesn’t fit those three.”

I apologize to the author — please note: Charles Camosy — but the significance of his story is such that it deserves to be printed and read in its entirety.

Michael’s “quality of life is different from theirs,” she was told. The others “were walking and talking people.”
Melissa tried to respond, but the doctor had had enough. “I don’t mean to be frank or abrasive, but at this point, we are going to do what we feel is best for him along with the state, and this is what we decided.”
Melissa did get in one last shot by telling him that this was a decision to kill her husband. And she had good reason to think so: Giving her husband food, water, oxygen and medicine would have not been burdensome treatment. And Michael may have beaten the odds.
The hospital had plenty of space for him. The issue, the doctor made clear, was Michael’s disability. The state and the hospital decided that they shouldn’t try to save someone with his disabilities.

Read that again: The hospital had plenty of space for him. The issue, the doctor made clear, was Michael’s disability. The state and the hospital decided that they shouldn’t try to save someone with his disabilities.

After pro-life journalists broke the story on June 26, the National Council on Disability publicly called on the federal Office of Civil Rights at the Department of Health and Human Services to investigate the hospital for violating Michael’s civil rights.
“When a medical facility makes a decision to deny medical care to a person with a disability that is based on, or influenced by, biased views about life with a disability, it runs afoul of federal civil rights laws,” the group said.
Yet when the Washington Post, a paper otherwise all in on outing structural racism, picked up the story, it framed Melissa’s claims skeptically and credulously accepted the hospital’s word that “it wasn’t possible to save” Michael and that none of its decisions was made on the basis of his disability.
Sorry, but the recording was clear: An ­institution with power over Michael’s very life had deemed it a life unworthy of life.

But wait; there’s always more.

Owing to structural health disparities, many African Americans have a justified fear of being treated like “throwaway people” in a clinical setting, particularly when it comes to so-called “end-of-life” decisions.
And because doctors are often ableist in their assumptions, the vulnerability of African American patients are magnified when they are disabled. Health providers consistently rate the quality of life of their disabled patients worse than the patients themselves.
When confronted with the fact that patients generally prefer length of life to quality of life, many physicians find themselves “surprised” and admit: “We think we know what is best for a patient, but this is often wrong.” It’s appalling.
If you care about racial justice, remember Michael Hickson. Say his name. Tell his story.

Due to an issue, not of his making, Michael Hickson was euthanized because he contracted Coronavirus while disabled. Recall:

In 2017, Michael Hickson suffered a brain injury that left him paralyzed. Still, he was able to enjoy many activities: having books read to him, listening to music, answering trivia questions. He had memory problems, but he recalled his birthday and Social Security number with ease.

And so here we go. Why should Michael Hickson live? How productive is he going to be? Shouldn’t we just let him die?

Great words, because it’s no longer a question. He’s no longer a “problem.” He’s just dead.

Aren’t you proud America? Isn’t this what you want, Demorats? Leftists? Winnowing the field? Culling the herd?

Introducing the most virulent disease of 2020 into nursing facilities, mandating by law that those persons infected with Wuhan-19 be placed into buildings containing, in small rooms, those Americans with the least possible physical ability to fight off the Wuhan-19 virus, America’s elderly — and being shocked when almost 50% of American deaths from the virus are in fact from nursing homes?

Where, oh, by the way, the staffs are the least trained — and possess the least amount of proper equipment?

Ezekiel Emanual: death boards. No one should live over the age of 75. And the unborn and just-born should be killed as well.

Michael Hickson was not a chunk of flesh. He was responsive and he was aware. He caught a virus. So he was euthanized. Like a dog, or a horse with a broken leg.

This is August of 2020.

But THIS is where we are as a nation?

In MEDICINE? In GOVERNMENT?

And still people lie to you, and me, day after day after day.

This is how we do things — in the United States of America — in August of 2020.
