Losers Blame The Jews

Unsurprisingly,  today the despicable Goyim Defense League hung a banner over an Los Angeles freeway reading "Honk if you Know Kanye is Right About the Jews."

He had said, among other things, that he was going to "go Defcon 3" on the Jewish people and alluded to the usual lies that Jews control the banks and the media. He desperately wants attention (he married a Kardashian, and that says it all), and he's gotten it by resorting to antisemitism, like so many other losers do.  

Hopefully he will be ostracized now instead.

Caving In To COVID

At an excellent article at Time magazine, Martha Lincoln and Nate Holdren state that "Our Third COVID Winter Is Coming. America Isn't Ready."  

They write, "The CDC has issued no updated guidelines to the public. Though new bivalent boosters are available, uptake so far has been shockingly low. Even more seriously, recent federal funding cuts have ended programs providing free COVID tests, vaccines, and treatments—all crucial for protecting American communities and, particularly, vulnerable groups. Because of these cuts, COVID testing labs and manufacturers are reducing their operations. In mid-October, with little warning, the CDC announced the end of its program providing free N95 masks to the public. As the end of the year approaches, it is highly likely that Americans are about to be blindsided by another wave. Without renewed funding to cover these basic necessities, the U.S. could be facing another very dark pandemic winter.

"At the same time, many of our political leaders—having capitulated to their sense that the pandemic is a lost cause—are defaulting to toothless and self-defeating messages. In May 2022, the CDC introduced its new 'Community Levels' metric in a not-so-subtle effort to downplay the reality of continued high national levels of COVID transmission, generating reassuring maps colored mostly mint green. Since July 2021, Biden has repeatedly stated that 'COVID no longer controls our lives'—at this point, a claim that is nearly Kafkaesque, given our enormous national death toll and high rates of reported Long COVID. In September, New York state produced a public service announcement for the Metropolitan Transit Authority showing face masks being worn incorrectly, accompanied by the message 'you do you.'

"The administration has had many opportunities to improve its COVID messaging over the past two years, but there is little sign that they’ve learned anything."

It's really frightening that Americans have simply given up, and that nobody seems to care about elderly people dying and others suffering for years from Long COVID. The gaslighting and minimizing has got to stop before these new variants take control.

Antisemitism, the Jews, and Donald Trump

I was amazed to see all the attacks on Trump on Twitter in which people called him an antisemitism for his recent remarks.  World Israel News has an article that I agree with: "The response to the former US president’s Truth Social post has been nothing short of a hysterical – purposeful – misreading of his words, which were neither threatening nor antisemitic."

I think people hate anything Trump says, and they definitely hate him more than they admire Jews and Israel. He was a great pro-Israel president.

Meanwhile, Ilhan Omar, a certified antisemite, was actually on MSNBC to talk about... antisemitism!

That's the pot calling the kettle black!

"Woke" or Joke?

Now this definitely sounds like a joke:

Silvio Canto, Jr. writes, "My late father used to fall sleep watching TV, specially after eating one of my mom's Cuban meals.  So we'd be watching a game on a Sunday afternoon and he'd say:  'Wake me up when there is a runner on third' or his football counterpart was 'Wake me up when they're in the red zone.' 

So let me paraphrase my late father and tell Virgin Atlantic:  'Wake me when the woke is over'.   

This is the latest chapter in the woke story:    

Virgin Atlantic has today updated its uniform policy to remove gendered clothing requirements in a move which has seen passengers criticise the airline for not focusing on passenger prices and experience instead.

Staff including plane crew and pilots will be able to choose which uniform they wear: the company's 'red' option, previously most commonly worn by female flight attendants, or the 'burgundy' option, previously worn by male flight attendants.

This includes allowing men to wear skirts and women to wear trousers, as well as increasing the uniform options available to non-binary staff members.     

They are also introducing pronoun badges in a bid to allow staff to 'wear uniforms that express their true identity.'"

Better Safe Than Sorry: Stop Being a COVIDiot, and Get Your Booster!

According to the Washington Post, "With only 4 percent of eligible people fully boosted, experts fear thousands of people may die needlessly."

I'll never understand why people who are eligible refuse to get their COVID boosters and walk around maskless.  Despite what Biden said, COVID is not over, and this winter may bring several dangerous variants our way.

Oil Vay!

From Fox Business: "The US Oil & Gas Association mocked President Biden on Wednesday for seemingly having no other options to counter rising gas prices than turning to the U.S. oil industry his administration has snubbed. 

'OPEC says no, SPR options all but gone… The WH has one option left and it is the one option they should have never turned away from in the first place – the US based oil and gas industry,' the US Oil & Gas Association tweeted Wednesday. 'Life comes at you pretty fast…'"

Serves Biden right -- but why should the rest of us suffer since he reversed all of Trump's smart energy policies to our detriment?

Dropping COVID Mitigations

Sometimes you have to wonder what the CDC is good for. This is from CNN's coronavirus newsletter:

"If you were flying in and out of the US this time last year, you would have been faced with a labyrinth of regulations. You would have been expected to be well versed in your destination’s Covid-19 rules: Knowing your red zones from ambers, PCRs from RATs, and having your Covid certificates and vaccine passports. But on Monday, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced it will no longer maintain a country-by-country list of travel advisories related to Covid-19, noting that fewer countries are testing or reporting Covid cases themselves. 

 

While many have been traveling freely for some time, the move signals the latest message from the US government: How you approach Covid-19 is on you. Speaking of the decision, CNN Medical Analyst Dr. Leana Wen says we have entered “a phase in the pandemic where people need to make their own decisions based on their medical circumstances as well as their risk tolerance when it comes to contracting Covid-19.”

 

The CDC will now only post country-specific notices if there is a concerning coronavirus variant or other situation that warrants it. But it still recommends getting tested no more than three days before travelling -- and to not to do so if the result is positive."


No wonder so many people are convinced that COVID is over!  The CDC continues to minimize COVID protections while newer and more dangerous variants appear. Salon.com says that  "rising cases of variants BQ.1 and XBB could make COVID drugs all but useless, study finds", and "COVID variants are evolving ways around vaccines and treatments, fueling deadly conditions for a winter surge."

 

I'm used to anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers minimizing the pandemic, but it's just as bad when the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention does it!
