    It seems like the public gets it despite the positive news being spewed by the Biden administration and its media lackeys. Seventy percent of the voters do not want to see Biden run in 2024 – 50% of his own party.

    What other unpleasant news was out there today?

    • Biden declares inflation has peaked and is now blaming the meat industry’s greed for its rise as well – not his policies

    • Biden predicts a winter of deaths

    • The Biden Administration has no idea how many Americans or Afghanis are trapped in Afghanistan

    • While Biden continues to negotiate with Iran, Iran launches a failed drone attack against a military base in Syria

    • While Russia is mounting troops on the Ukraine border and China is threatening Taiwan, Biden says not to worry, he has the situation in hand

    • According to the Congressional Budget Office scoring of the Build Back Better bill could be as high as $5.1 trillion and add $3 trillion to the deficit. Biden calls the CBO’s scoring fake news

    • Stimulus spending could cost the average household $3,500

    • Seventy percent of American voters are unhappy with Biden’s handling of the border crisis

    Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year? I think not!

    A step in the right direction on crime, drugs and homelessness

    Enough is enough says San Francisco Mayor on crime and drugs in her city. Would that other progressive Mayors in other Bule States follow suit.

    Anyone with a grain of intelligence understands the number one job of any government agency is public safety. Are the progressive Mayors waking up to their failed policies of defunding the police, advocating closing prisons and/or soft bail programs putting criminals back on the streets to commit more crimes.

    Even Biden has finally spoke on the crime surge. It only took 10 months.

    https://www.foxnews.com/us/san-franc...rloin-overdose

    San Francisco Mayor London Breed, who last year defunded the police, on Friday declared a state of emergency in the city's Tenderloin neighborhood, an area that sits near City Hall and that officials have long said is rampant with drugs and crime in response to overdose deaths.

    The policy came days after Breed promised an aggressive crackdown on crime in the city in which she specifically cited the Tenderloin as an area plagued by open-air drug dealing, crime and unsanitary conditions on the streets.

    "The most important job that I have as mayor is that when people walk down the streets of San Francisco, they should feel safe," Breed said. "They shouldn't have to look over their shoulders. They shouldn't be punched in the face randomly. They shouldn't have to see someone sticking a needle in various parts of their body, laying out in the streets, and wondering ‘What can I do to help them.’"

    Perhaps it is not so much a realization that their destructive policies did not work, but in light of the Left's 2020 acquisition of total control, it is a logical embrace of those institutions which will now enforce the Left's total control, revolutionary edicts?

    Frontline Doctors Call for Adoption of Ivermectin to treat Covid - a must read!

    Can Ivermectin Help Prevent COVID-19 Deaths? Numerous frontline doctors believe so, having seen the recoveries of many seriously ill Covid patients recover within a matter of a few days.

    I also know of several individuals seriously ill, one on a ventilator, were treated with ivermectin, recovered, and was released from the hospital within a week.

    Why are we not hearing about the effectiveness of this treatment from the Biden Administration, the media, or the esteemed Dr. Fauci? Surely families should not have to obtain court orders to force hospitals to treat seriously ill Covid patients with a drug that has been on the market since 1981 and is on the World Health Organization’s list of essential medicines. Unfortunately, too often that has been known to happen and the patient expired in the process. Is this another example of profit over lives?

    https://jamesfetzer.org/2021/12/jose...vid-19-deaths/

    In the U.S., the Frontline COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC) is now calling for widespread adoption of ivermectin, both as a prophylactic and for the treatment of all phases of COVID-19

    The FLCCC website also has a helpful FAQ section16 where Kory and Marik answer common questions about the drug and its recommended use. While FLCCC members have been criticized for their insistence that we should not wait for randomized controlled trials before using Ivermectin more widely, the group argues that the drug has a long history of safety and clearly works, so, why wait?

    “By no longer recommending against ivermectin use, doctors should feel more open in prescribing ivermectin as another therapeutic option for the treatment of COVID-19. This may clear its path towards FDA emergency use approval.”

    Wuhan lab-leak theory called distraction, focus on virus variants and upcoming “world of trouble”

    According to outgoing National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Francis Collins, the Wuhan lab-leak theory has become a "huge distraction" for the country, despite there being "no evidence" to support it. “Frankly, we still don’t know," Collins told FOX host Bret Baier Sunday.

    As for the new omicron variant, Collins said the U.S. should brace for a "world of trouble" the next couple of months, based on its higher transmissibility than the previous strains, which "pale by comparison.” “That is where our focus should be. Vaccines are not perfect but offer best protection against virus variants.”

    Outgoing NIH director dismisses Wuhan lab-leak theory as a ‘distraction’ on last day in office

    https://www.foxnews.com/media/outgoi...theory-omicron

    Distraction? New polls find 72% of Americans believe COVID-19 originated in Wuhan lab.

    We have been fed so much BS narrative on the matter, Americans want to know virus origin. Perhaps Kamala Harris should be appointed Virus Czar and search out the ‘root cause’ of the China virus. She is good at that stuff, right?

    Two Moderna vaccine injections, a Moderna booster shot, and I feel no better protected then in April 2020.

    1619 Project accuracy disparaged

    In a September 2021 column written about George Will titled George Will: Why He's Against Biden, Trump, and the 1619 Project—And Bullish on the Future, the following was reported.

    Though he started out firmly on the conservative right, Will has become more and more libertarian, especially in his insistence that mere politics should never be the all-consuming passion of human endeavor and that America remains a place dedicated to a future that is better than the present. "If we can rein in our appetite for government to dispense benefits," he says, and replace it with a government "that defends the shores, fills the potholes, and otherwise gets out of the way, we're going to see again, the creativity of the American people."

    In today’s Buffalo News in an opinion piece titled N.Y. Times’ malicious, historically illiterate 1619 Project keeps rolling on Will vents on the accuracy of the 1619 Project. Will’s report will find favor with many who learned History in another era and became aficionados of the Revolutionary War and its origins.

    WASHINGTON
    Washington Post Writers Group – George Will


    The New York Times is like God, who, if Genesis reported Creation correctly, beheld His handiwork and decided “it was very good.” The Times is comparably pleased with itself concerning its creation, “The 1619 Project.”

    This began in August 2019 as a special edition of the paper’s Sunday magazine. Now it has become a book by which the Times continues attempting to “reframe” U.S. history. In the Times, an advertisement for the Times’s book describes it as “a dramatic expansion of a groundbreaking work of journalism.” That description damages journalism’s reputation for respecting facts, which the 2019 writing that begot this book did not do. The 1619 Project’s tendentiousness reeks of political purpose.

    The Times’s original splashy assertion – slightly fudged after the splash garnered a Pulitzer Prize – was that the American Revolution, the most important event in our history, was shameful because a primary reason it was fought was to preserve slavery. The war was supposedly ignited by a November 1775 British offer of freedom to Blacks who fled slavery and joined British forces. Well.

    That offer came after increasingly volcanic American reactions to various British provocations: After the 1765 Stamp Act. After the 1770 Boston Massacre. After the 1773 Boston Tea Party. After the 1774 Coercive Acts (including closure of Boston’s port) and other events of “The Long Year of Revolution” (the subtitle of Mary Beth Norton’s “1774”). And after, in 1775, the April 19 battles of Lexington and Concord, the June 17 battle of Bunker Hill and George Washington on July 3 assuming command of the Continental Army.

    Writing history is not like doing physics. But event A cannot have caused event B if B began before A.

    Addressing the American Council of Trustees and Alumni last month, Gordon S. Wood, today’s foremost scholar of America’s Founding, dissected the 1619 Project’s contentions. When the Revolution erupted, Britain “was not threatening to abolish slavery in its empire,” which included lucrative, slavery-dependent sugar-producing colonies in the Caribbean. Wood added: “If the Virginian slaveholders had been frightened of British abolitionism, why only eight years after the war ended would the board of visitors or the trustees of the College of William & Mary, wealthy slaveholders all, award an honorary degree to Granville Sharp, the leading British abolitionist at the time? Had they changed their minds so quickly? ... The New York Times has no accurate knowledge of Virginia’s Revolutionary culture and cannot begin to answer these questions.” The Times’s political agenda requires ignoring what Wood knows: “It was the American colonists who were interested in abolitionism in 1776.

    Not only were the northern states the first slaveholding governments in the world to abolish slavery, but the United States became the first nation in the world to begin actively suppressing the despicable international slave trade. The New York Times has the history completely backwards.”

    Wood’s doctoral dissertation adviser in 1960 to 1964 was Bernard Bailyn, the title of whose best-known book, “The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution,” conveys a refutation of the 1619 Project’s premise that the Revolution originated from base economic motives. When Bailyn died a year after the 1619 Project was launched, the Times’s obituary noted that he had challenged the “Progressive Era historians ... who saw the founders’ revolutionary rhetoric as a mask for economic interests.” Actually, the rhetoric gave momentum to ideas that were the Revolution.

    The 1619 Project, which might already be embedded in school curricula near you, reinforces the racial monomania of those progressives who argue that the nation was founded on, and remains saturated by, “systemic racism.” This racial obsession is instrumental; it serves a radical agenda that sweeps beyond racial matters. It is the agenda of clearing away all impediments, intellectual and institutional, to – in progressivism’s vocabulary – the “transformation” of the nation. The United States will be built back better when it has been instructed to be ashamed of itself.

    The 1619 Project aims to erase (in Wood’s words) “the Revolution and the principles that it articulated – liberty, equality and the well-being of ordinary people.” These ideas are, as Wood says, the adhesives that bind our exceptional nation whose people have shared principles, not a shared ancestry.

    The Times says, “nearly everything that has truly made America exceptional” flows from “slavery and the anti-black racism it required.” So, the 1619 Project’s historical illiteracy is not innocent ignorance. Rather, it is maliciousness in the service of progressivism’s agenda, which is to construct a thoroughly different nation on the deconstructed rubble of what progressives hope will be the nation’s thoroughly discredited past.

    Biden promised competence and order. Chaos and uncertainty are winning.

    https://www.politico.com/news/2021/1...promise-525623

    Biden aides in recent days have pointed to the positives in Biden’s column: The unemployment rate is low, vaccines are available for nearly everyone who wants one, the funding from the politically popular bipartisan infrastructure bill will kick in soon, allowing for the administration to pursue major, substantive acts, like removing lead from the nation’s water pipes. But with those steps forward have come steps back. Biden ends 2021 with low poll numbers and growing panic among Democrats that they will lose at least one, if not both, houses of Congress in the upcoming midterms.

    Biden has had some successes but the White House ends 2021 facing a confluence of crises: Covid-19 cases are surging throughout the nation, inflation remains high in the holiday season, a renewed push on voting rights seems stalled before it can even begin, and the signature piece of Biden’s agenda is seriously, if not mortally, wounded.

    They’ve also contributed to a national sense of discontent that has hurt him in the polls. Even though Biden’s own party holds all branches of government, stories of gridlock and intraparty distrust have dominated the headlines for months, creating an ugly depiction of a government not just failing to deliver on the president’s promises but overwhelmed by the problems it’s confronted.



    Biden was supposed to bring order to the chaos of D.C. But chaos is prevailing. Despite the effort of the Biden Administration, the left, the Biden media his poll numbers are a clear indication the public is not buying his messaging and/or policies. Add to his failures an open border policy where terrorists entering the country illegally are being apprehended.

    How Fauci and Collins Shut Down Covid Debate

    They worked with the media to trash the Great Barrington Declaration.

    By The Editorial Board
    Dec. 21, 2021 6:47 pm ET

    In public, Anthony Fauci and Francis Collins urge Americans to “follow the science.” In private, the two sainted public-health officials schemed to quash dissenting views from top scientists. That’s the troubling but fair conclusion from emails obtained recently via the Freedom of Information Act by the American Institute for Economic Research.

    The tale unfolded in October 2020 after the launch of the Great Barrington Declaration, a statement by Harvard’s Martin Kulldorff, Oxford’s Sunetra Gupta and Stanford’s Jay Bhattacharya against blanket pandemic lockdowns. They favored a policy of what they called “focused protection” of high-risk populations such as the elderly or those with medical conditions. Thousands of scientists signed the declaration—if they were able to learn about it. We tried to give it some elevation on these pages.

    That didn’t please the lockdown consensus enforced by public-health officials and the press. Dr. Collins, the director of the National Institutes of Health until Sunday, sent an email on Oct. 8, 2020, to Dr. Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

    “This proposal from the three fringe epidemiologists . . . seems to be getting a lot of attention – and even a co-signature from Nobel Prize winner Mike Leavitt at Stanford. There needs to be a quick and devastating published take down of its premises,” Dr. Collins wrote. “Is it underway?”

    These researchers weren’t fringe and neither was their opposition to quarantining society. But in the panic over the virus, these two voices of science used their authority to stigmatize dissenters and crush debate. A week after his email, Dr. Collins spoke to the Washington Post about the Great Barrington Declaration. “This is a fringe component of epidemiology,” he said. “This is not mainstream science. It’s dangerous.” His message spread and the alternative strategy was dismissed in most precincts.

    Dr. Fauci replied to Dr. Collins that the takedown was underway. An article in Wired, a tech-news site, denied there was any scientific divide and argued lockdowns were a straw man—they weren’t coming back. If only it were true. The next month cases rose and restrictions returned.

    Dr. Fauci also emailed an article from the Nation, a left-wing magazine, and his staff sent him several more. The emails suggest a feedback loop: The media cited Dr. Fauci as an unquestionable authority, and Dr. Fauci got his talking points from the media. Facebook censored mentions of the Great Barrington Declaration. This is how groupthink works.

    On CBS last month, Dr. Fauci said Republicans who criticize him are “really criticizing science, because I represent science. That’s dangerous.” He isn’t “science.” And it’s also dangerous for scientific officials to mobilize to quash dissent, without which it’s easy to make tragic mistakes. A scientific debate over pandemic policy was and still is in the public interest, especially during a once-in-a-century plague.

    Focused protection of nursing homes and other high-risk populations remains the policy road not taken during the pandemic. Perhaps this strategy wouldn’t have prevailed if a debate had been allowed. But it isn’t enough to repeat, as Dr. Collins did on Fox News Sunday, that advocates are “fringe epidemiologists who really did not have the credentials,” and that “hundreds of thousands of people would have died if we had followed that strategy.”

    More than 800,000 Americans have died as much of the country followed the strategy of Drs. Collins and Fauci, and that’s not counting the other costs in lost livelihoods, shuttered businesses, untreated illnesses, mental illness from isolation, and the incalculable anguish of seeing loved ones die alone without the chance for a family to say good-bye.

    Rather than try to manipulate public opinion, the job of health officials is to offer their best scientific advice. They shouldn’t act like politicians or censors, and when they do, they squander the public’s trust.

    Reference: https://www.wsj.com/articles/fauci-c...wn-11640129116
    Also, is that outgoing NIH Director the same weirdo who seems to have plagiarized Vera Lynn's concept, and did so with a ridiculous Judy Garland imitation?

    FDA authorizes first Covid-19 treatment pill
    AP News


    U.S. health regulators on Wednesday authorized the first pill against COVID-19, a Pfizer drug that Americans will be able to take at home to head off the worst effects of the virus.

    The long-awaited milestone comes as U.S. cases, hospitalizations and deaths are all rising and health officials warn of a tsunami of new infections from the omicron variant that could overwhelm hospitals.

    Paxlovid Said to Be Faster, Cheaper Prevention The drug, Paxlovid, is a faster, cheaper way to treat early COVID-19 infections, though initial supplies will be extremely limited. All of the previously authorized drugs against the disease require an IV or an injection.

    An antiviral pill from Merck also is expected to soon win authorization. But Pfizer's drug is all but certain to be the preferred option because of its mild side effects and superior effectiveness, including a nearly 90% reduction in hospitalizations and deaths among patients most likely to get severe disease.

    “The efficacy is high, the side effects are low and it’s oral. It checks all the boxes,” said Dr. Gregory Poland of the Mayo Clinic. “You’re looking at a 90% decreased risk of hospitalization and death in a high-risk group — that’s stunning.”

    The Food and Drug Administration authorized Pfizer's drug for adults and children ages 12 and older with a positive COVID-19 test and early symptoms who face the highest risks of hospitalization. That includes older people and those with conditions like obesity and heart disease. Children eligible for the drug must weigh at least 88 pounds (40 kilograms).

    The pills from both Pfizer and Merck are expected to be effective against omicron because they don’t target the spike protein where most of the variant’s worrisome mutations reside.

    Pfizer currently has 180,000 treatment courses available worldwide, with roughly 60,000 to 70,000 allocated to the U.S. Federal health officials are expected to ration early shipments to the hardest hit parts of the country. Pfizer said the small supply is due to the manufacturing time — currently about nine months. The company says it can halve production time next year

    The U.S. government has agreed to purchase enough Paxlovid to treat 10 million people. Pfizer says it's on track to produce 80 million courses globally next year, under contracts with the U.K., Australia and other nations.

    Health experts agree that vaccination remains the best way to protect against COVID-19. But with roughly 40 million American adults still unvaccinated, effective drugs will be critical to blunting the current and future waves of infection.



    Why is the FDA slow in authorizing other therapeutics that are currently having success in treating COVID viruses - like ivermectin?

    A presidential rematch made in hell

    If this is the best we can hope for in 2024, God save the country!

    Biden tells ABC Muir ‘Yes he’ll run again, Trump rematch would ‘increase prospect.’

    "Do you plan to run for reelection?" Muir asked Biden during a sit-down interview at the White House.

    "Yes," the president replied. "But look, I'm a great respecter of fate. Fate has intervened in my life many many times. If I'm in the health I'm in now -- from a good health. And, in fact, I would run again."

    "And if that means a rematch against Donald Trump?" Muir asked. Trump, who served only one term, is eligible to run again in 2024.
    "You’re trying to tempt me now," Biden said, laughing. "Sure. Why would I not run against Donald Trump for the nominee? That’ll increase the prospect of running."



    ARGH!

    Biden tells ABC Muir ‘Yes he’ll run again, Trump rematch would ‘increase prospect.’



    Campaign 2024, an 81-year-old President vs a 78-year-old former President, seriously?

    Will the handlers be running a campaign, or will they be producing and directing a remake of The Sunshine Boys?

    As I remember, when The Sunshine Boys first came out in 1975, the forerunners of the PC Police criticized the film because the humorless Leftees suggested it was laughing at senility.

    If this "remake" comes to pass, those previous critics should cheer the resident "What Goes Around, Comes Around" justice, because this time, The Sunshine Boys will be laughing at the electing audience for their stupidity.

    BTW, swear that winner in quick, lest he falls asleep.

    Scrooge

    Larry David hates Christmas.

    So much hate in the world today that Christmas has lost its true meaning for so many people.

    It’s Christmas and they continue to lie

    Just as sure as death and taxes, you can count on being lied to today by politicos and the media. When Biden campaigned and then took office the media left said the lying Trump was being replaced by a man who always told the truth, in a tone that was sure to unite the country. No need to fact-check this guy.

    It didn’t take long to find out that Biden, his administration, and his cover-up left / media supporters are having difficulty controlling a narrative that sells his failing policies / messaging – and the reason for his sinking poll numbers.

    Shortages from supply chain issues was a myth says Psaki

    [I]"Take that Scrooge, the Grinch and all of the doubters that this could happen," Psaki tweeted. "Also shelves are stocked at 90% (pre-pandemic levels are 91%)."/I]

    Nobody saw it coming, says Biden

    Psaki defended Biden's remark to Muir that "nobody" predicted the omicron variant's emergence, when in fact, infectious disease experts had warned of new variants.

    "Nobody saw it coming," Biden told Muir Wednesday. "Nobody in the whole world. Who saw it coming?"


    Come on man!

    The corrupt media

    A lengthy Politico profile of disgraced attorney Michael Avenatti recounts how he and the press used each other before his spectacular downfall, and Avenatti says he's infuriated he can't defend himself on the cable news outlets that once invited him on every day. "No matter where you land on the question of his downfall, we are a part of this story, too. He used the media, and we used him," Politico's Ruby Cramer wrote. CNN wants no part of Avenatti.

    There is no crime crisis in America says the left, in fact no crime at all

    WOW!

    Biden declares he will run for re-election in 2024

    Does anyone really believe Biden will be running for reelection in 2024? Does anyone really want Biden (or Trump) to run in 2024?

    We are being told that the economy is strong, the spike in inflation is being offset by wage increases and will be short-lived, Biden is on the pandemic, the border is secure, our foreign policy is strong, the world respects / loves us again, Biden is not a socialist, and we have much to be thankful for this Christmas.

    So, cheer up! Merry Christmas everyone! We have so much to be thankful for, right?
