“Blue” States Are Tops…In Covid Deaths

TFP , ,

And it isn’t even close. Six of the top eight states in Covid deaths are dominated by leftist Democrats, and the other two are purple states with openly leftist governors: Michigan and Pennsylvania. And before anyone says “but, but, population” two red states are the second and third most populated: Texas and Florida. These Democrat controlled states are also the ones most likely to have thrown civil liberties out the window. Correlation or causation? You decide.

While on the subject, many people are now questioning the veracity of the Covid death count. There are numerous confirmed stories of people clearly dying from something else being counted as Covid deaths, among the most egregious was a case of acute alcohol poisoning. And it isn’t just a “right-wing conspiracy”….doctors are going public. Some in the medical field have been bold enough to accuse the government of over-counting by up to 25%…that would make the death count under 70,000 if true.

Rolling Stone Writer Rips “Progressives” and Dems

TFP , , , ,

Make know mistake, this guy leans pretty far to the left. Maybe he is more of a real liberal. At any rate, he has been a friend to the Democrats and left for years. When you start to lose the like of Matt Taibbi you are in big trouble. This actually gives me hope.

Taibbi: Sullivan, Russiagate, and COVID-19 reveal Dems and progressives as “defenders of the spy state” and the real authoritarians

 

Authoritarians Using Fear To Destroy America

TFP , , , , ,

Most, but not all are leftists. This is the problem with the lock-downs, shelter-in-place orders, and other rules by fiat. The leftist tyrants like governors in NY, NJ, California and Michigan have gotten a real taste of their new-found power and tyranny and they like it. They will not give it back easily, unlike most “red state” governors. Never mind that most red states either refused to rule by fiat or had much more reasonable restrictions. None of this should been allowed in the first place, but now we have to take it back. Sue, remove them from office, vote them out, and use reasonable civil disobedience if necessary. Like going out for a waffle, for Heaven’s sake.

And this from Michigan’s resident evil clown:

The professional leagues and NCAA need to sue recalcitrant states immediately. If nothing else, it seems to me that interstate commerce is being unreasonably impeded.

Covid Craziness

TFP , , , ,

As with most crises real and imagined, unprincipled people in power and know-nothings with a megaphone (media) will usually try to take advantage of the situation and change the rules. Remember a mere two months ago when shutting down our entire country and sheltering in place had to be done to prevent the medical system from becoming overwhelmed? Mission accomplished. The medical system was never overwhelmed. In fact, many hospitals are facing financial ruin because, wait for it, THEY HAVE NO PATIENTS! Next it was “we have to flatten the curve!” Check, not that there is any evidence that the curve wouldn’t have been flattened if we did nothing. Well, now many leftists in state and federal government are fighting tooth and nail to not return things to normal. Now it’s “we have to save grandma and cannot have one more death or you will have blood on your hands!” There is a term for this: moving the goal posts. The Covid panic was never about saving people, it was about seizing control and transforming, I would say destroying, the country and society. It has to stop, now!

The April labor report came out today and of course it was quite ugly. Unemployment as reported soared to 14% in the month but in reality it sits closer to 20%. Some interesting side notes came out as well. Women are being harder hit that men by the tune of 2%. Also disproportionately impacted were low income workers and minorities. Soon we are going to hear from the left: “Covid is not only racist it’s sexist!” No, but the idiotic draconian policies being enacted by corrupt leftist politicians and championed by their dishonest toadies in the left-wing media ARE in fact racist and sexist, if anything involving this mess is. Food for thought.

Here is more lunacy:

Reopening the country is genocide! Who knew! No, but not reopening might be. Once again, a leftist sewer-dweller is projecting.

Illinois’ buffoon of a governor will destroy that state.

Covid deaths likely overstated, possibly by a huge margin.

HUGE! From CDC Website: Hospitals to List COVID-19 as Cause of Death Even if It’s “Assumed to Have Caused Or Contributed to Death” – Lab Tests Not Required

The CD’s own website lists over 5000 “probable” deaths. This is not medical science. It is propaganda.

The Covid ‘Crisis’ Never Existed and We Need To Go Back to Normal Immediately

TFP , , , , , , ,

I predicted here over a month ago that the Covid hysteria and the resultant draconian shutdowns might end up being the biggest con foisted on the human race in history, and it is starting to look like I am right.

Leave it to the most honest sports guy in the business to publish the most accurate summary of Covid studies, and the results show overwhelmingly that Covid is not as virulent nor as deadly as our governments and the corrupt left-wing media want you to believe:

Studies: Coronavirus Less Deadly, More Common Than Experts Believed

Why hasn’t the “mainstream” media done this. Sure, early on there were a few well-meaning medical people urging caution, but Covid containment is long past the point of “saving the people”. It is about power, control and money. The extent to which governments around the world have restricted or eliminated freedoms is beyond breathtaking. This is like a dry-run at a police state. And many in the medical community (Dr Fauci – don’t shake hands but Tinder hookups are OK) are complicit.

https://townhall.com/columnists/dennisprager/2020/04/28/our-dress-rehearsal-for-a-police-state-n2567744

So we closed 30-40% of our economy, put 20 million people out of work, gave the Fed control over vast swaths of the financial markets, took away personal liberties, ended our kids’ school years and in many cases ceased to educate them (especially stupid given that studies show kids neither get Covid nor transmit it), and shut down all of our sports, from youth to high school to college and pro. All to eradicate something that may turn out to be less deadly than the common flu.

It is a small thing relatively (if you actually believe you are saving lives, which apparently we were not) but we ruined the end of middle school, high school and college for millions. There are a million stories about how the Covid lockdown has changed people’s lives for the worst. A couple of anecdotes: the week the world “stopped” my son’s high school was going for state titles in two separate sports. With spring wiped out my senior daughter’s highly-ranked tennis team had its season wiped out. These are things the kids will never get back. Those opportunities and memories are gone forever. There are probably tens of thousands of similar stories around the country, and it is just wrong. It looks like we stopped life for nothing.

The Covid madness must end immediately. Totalitarian politicians in this country (most though not all on the far-left) are using the ‘crisis’ solely to obtain power at this point. The one thing you can do: VOTE THE POWER-MAD LEFTISTS AND TOTALITARIANS OUT OF OFFICE IN NOVEMBER!

Michigan Democrats: Politicians “Belong” To Us

TFP , , ,

Oh oh. Did he just say that a black woman politician who dared to thank President Trump for supporting a medical treatment that probably saved her life is “owned” by the Democrat Party? There it is people, in all its glory. The façade is gone. Democrats “own” their members, especially blacks and women. Don’t stray from the plantation, no dissent is allowed. Racism, sexism? You decide.

Keep in mind, this poor woman did not endorse Trump nor did she side with him on some major issue…she dared to THANK him. That’s it. She was dying, and hydroxychloroquine, which the President has supported using in critical cases likely saved her life. This is what the far-left is all about. I have always said that those who scream about various “isms” are themselves the guilty ones and are projecting/covering up.

Don’t Let The US Be Overrun With ‘Karens’

TFP , , ,

A Karen is a busybody, a nag, a scold. The Karens in society seem to be running roughshod these days, whether it’s the nagging neighbor, the TV know-it-all scold, or the dictatorial Governor like Michigan’s Whitmer. Most are leftists. They love control above all. Don’t let them win.

Tucker Carlson: Gretchen Whitmer is a Ghoul

TFP , , , ,

100% right. Dead on. Gretchen Whitmer is a far-left ideologue and one of the worst governors in the country. She inexplicably was elected in 2018 in a moderate purple/blue state due to the fact that a popular GOP governor was term-limited and legalized pot was on the ballot. She has decreed that joint replacement surgery is not “essential” but abortion is. Got that? Abortion is “life sustaining”. She is a very odious woman. I suspect there is a lot of buyers remorse in Michigan right now.
