Intelligence on Strike

Here are just two of many good articles I've read lately, when so many others,  I'm so angry at defiantly unvaccinated idiots who are prolonging this pandemic; angry at people quitting their jobs and  leaving their employers in the lurch; angry at the supply chain collapsing because nobody wants to do the job and unload ships and drive trucks. During WW2 you heard about "the war effort" against the enemy.  Now the enemy is a deadly virus, and there is no war effort.

These two articles just vindicated the way I've been feeling about what's been going on.

The Great Pretenders, by Kira Davis, is  an excellent synopsis of the way Democrats twist everything, making you wonder what happened to common sense. An excerpt:  

"The Democrat party and their sycophants have become The Great Pretenders, and we are all supposed to follow right along despite what is so very obviously right in front of us every single day.

The Great Pretenders tell us not to believe our lying eyes or trust our lying ears.

Worried about an unprecedented $3.5 trillion dollar 'infrastructure' bill that includes the destruction of the independent contractor jobs and hundreds of billions in giveaways to special interest groups?

Don’t be. According to Democrat math $3.5 trillion dollars = $0 dollars.

Just pretend that the $500 dollars in groceries you just bought on your credit card won’t cost you a thing as long as you pretend that it won’t cost you a thing. It’s so easy!"

I enjoyed this column by Leonard Pitts, Jr., about the covidiot collaborators actually quitting their jobs rather than comply with the mandate and get a lifesaving vaccine. Here's a part of it:

"Well, on behalf of the rest of us, the ones who miss concerts, restaurants and other people’s faces, the ones who are sick and tired of living in pandemic times, here’s a word of response to you quitters: Goodbye.

Not to minimize any of this. A few weeks ago, a hospital in upstate New York announced it would have to 'pause' delivering babies because of resignations among its maternity staff. So the threat of difficult ramifications is certainly real. But on the plus side, your quitting goes a long way toward purging us of the gullible, the conspiracy-addled, the logic-impaired and the stubbornly ignorant. And that’s not nothing. We’ve been down this road before.

But the rest of us, we’re mad at you. Because this thing could have been over by now, and you’re the reason it isn’t

That’s why we were glad President Biden stopped asking nicely, started requiring vaccinations everywhere he had power to do so. We were also glad when employers followed suit. And if that’s a problem for you, then, yes, goodbye, sayonara, auf wiedersehen, adios and adieu. We’ll miss you, to be sure. But you’re asking us to choose between your petulance and our lives. 

And that’s really no choice at all."

All I can say is, I'm glad these self-absorbed people will not be able to collect unemployment. Serves them right!

The Kool-Aid of Dangerous Anti-Vaxxers

What do you call morally reprehensible people like this?  Maybe domestic terrorists?  From the Daily Beast Cheat Sheet: "COVID Truthers’ New Low: Getting Followers to Yank Relatives From ICUs"

The whole story is at NBC News, and here's an excerpt: 'Vigilante treatments': Anti-vaccine groups push people to leave ICUs
As the anti-vaccine movement escalates its rhetoric, doctors warn that they're dealing with the fallout: 'They’re starting to target people, the messengers — nurses and doctors.'
Anti-vaccine Facebook groups have a new message for their community members: Don’t go to the emergency room, and get your loved ones out of intensive care units.
Consumed by conspiracy theories claiming that doctors are preventing unvaccinated patients from receiving miracle cures or are even killing them on purpose, some people in anti-vaccine and pro-ivermectin Facebook groups are telling those with Covid-19 to stay away from hospitals and instead try increasingly dangerous at-home treatments, according to posts seen by NBC News over the past few weeks.
'We were down to four Covid patients two months ago. In this surge, we’ve had 40 to 50 patients with Covid on four different ICU services, 97 percent of them unvaccinated,' said Wes Ely, an ICU doctor and professor of medicine at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. 'We were making headway, and now we’re just losing really, really badly. There’s something that’s happening on the internet, and it’s dramatically increasing steam.'"

Can you imagine actually listening to this death cult and taking your own loved ones out of the ICU? Now the anti-vaxxers aren't just talkers, they are deliberately causing even more needless COVID deaths. They have to be stopped before more people drink their brand of Kool-Aid.

Antivax Covidiotism in a Nutshell

You've got to read this terrific op-ed from USA contributor Ray Marcano. Here's the headline:

"Stop with the nonsense: Just tell the truth about why you won't get a COVID vaccination
The most honest statement for anyone still resisting a vaccine is, 'I don’t want to,' and that’s it."

Joe Biden: Not Dressed for Success

 I got a kick out of Gary Varvel's take on AOC's Met Gala dress. However, Joe Biden definitely needs a Republican fashion designer.

Hey, 'Woke' Jew-Haters & White-Haters! Why Don't You Go Back to Sleep?

I read this outrageous excerpt about how Anne Frank is being attacked for being a "colonizer", a "bleach demon" (?), and a "parasite", and that she “benefitted from the looting of stolen land,” colonialism and slavery by virtue of living in Europe". 

Yes, this is the Anne Frank, the child who hid from the Nazis in a cramped attic for two years. This is the same Anne Frank who "benefitted by living in Europe"-- by being murdered at Bergen-Belsen.

The radical group attacking Anne Frank is called Black Hammer, which must be consumed with so much demented hatred of white people that even a young victim of the Holocaust is fair game.

September 11, 2001 - September 11, 2021

 

Heroes and Survivors of September 11

"20 years later, 9/11 survivors still cope with the trauma: ‘It never goes away’.

Guy Sanders, an EMT who was en route when the towers collapsed, killing his colleague, says ‘it’s not something to be gotten over’"

Do you suppose the five 9/11 conspirators who have still not even gone on trial yet have ever suffered from the trauma of that horrible day?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"5 moments from 9/11 that shouldn’t be forgotten. The terrorists tried to destroy us, but acts of kindness, teamwork bolstered us instead." 

You know these familiar names by now, heroes like Rick Rescorla, Welles Crowther, Abraham Zalmanowitz, and countless others whose stories you never get tired of reading about.

Treating the Elderly With Indignity

There were over 15,000 nursing home COVID deaths in New York alone. Now there's yet another scandalous disgrace involving our senior citizens. Read this article: "State revokes nursing home licenses for owner who sent 800 residents to warehouse for Ida."

Why can't our country treat the elderly with as much respect as Japan does?

A Look Back at the Biden Presidency

For a well-written history of Biden's tenure as President, you must read Biden Surrendered to the Taliban; The GOP Must Not Surrender to Biden; Impeach the president, court martial the Joint Chiefs of Staff by David Horowitz and Daniel Greenfield.

Here's an excerpt:

"Joseph R. Biden is the worst president and the worst human being to ever occupy the White House. His ill will towards the country he leads is written all over his administration – the invasion of millions of unvetted foreigners from 100 countries, many of whom are COVID carrying, sex trafficking, drug dealing criminals. Out of control crime, making the streets of our cities unsafe is also a direct result of Democrat policies and criminal Democrat prosecutors and district attorneys. Bankrupting the economy with a $5 trillion socialist scheme, orchestrated by Bernie Sanders, a life-long supporter of Communist dictatorships, whose intent is to make every American dependent on government and beholden to federal bureaucrats is what the Democrats were working on late into the night in the Capitol as Americans died in Kabul.  

Patriots should never forget this, and never let Americans forget as well. Afghanistan is a holograph of America’s future if Democrat policies prevail. It fell because of the treachery of the Democrat Party in selecting a dementia case and judgement-challenged politician to be president. Afghanistan fell because of the lack of patriotic concern by the entire Biden White House and the military chiefs, the lack of concern for the welfare of the people, the first responsibility of those who hold these offices. The military chiefs who are a product of Barack Obama’s politicized military were busily pushing a Marxist ideology on their troops – one that indicts America as a hopelessly racist country, while the Taliban terrorists were preparing their victory march to Kabul."

Too Afraid to Return to Work, but not Afraid to Return to Packed Football Stadiums

From Forbes: "Will College Football Games Become Covid-19 Coronavirus Superspreader Events"?

Just the film footage and the photographs from this weekend were terrifying enough.

Afghanistan Who?

From the Independent, U.K.: "US military admits several hundred Americans who wanted to leave Afghanistan are stranded after country’s exit. Joe Biden certain to face criticism over US nationals ‘left behind’" It sounds like the criticism has died down on our cable news shows.

Read Daniel Greenfield's column, "While Afghanistan Fell, Military and CIA Focused on Diversity."

Don Surber says, "To survive, we must fire them all". Good suggestion, but it doesn't look like anyone will be fired.

Here's a very touching tribute: "US restaurants honor soldiers who died in Kabul bombing with 13 beers".  The headline is awkwardly written, but the story is lovely.

Labor Pains

 I saw this graphic in today's U.S. Department of Labor newsletter:

Oops, I don't think so! Today's August jobs report showed only 235,000 jobs added after hoping that 720,000 jobs had been added. Meanwhile, there are over 9 million jobs available and going unfilled.

TV Programs About September 11

Here's a "9/11 Programming Schedule Leading Up To 20th Anniversary Of The Attacks: How To Watch On TV, Streaming & Online – Updated."   

The programs I have never failed to watch over the years are "Inside 9/11" and "102 Minutes That Changed America".

I'll be watching as many of the new programs as I can, except for any lectures on our supposed "Islamophobia."  They attacked us, remember?

Revolting Headline of the Day

"67 abortions in 17 hours: Inside a Texas clinic’s race to beat new six-week abortion ban"

"At Whole Woman’s Health in Fort Worth, it was a race to perform as many abortions as possible until midnight, when a new Texas ban on the procedure became law."

A race. It just sounds so cold-blooded. Are we supposed to congratulate them for this statistic?
