Dark Days Diary – 25mar21

The day our elected officials hid the efficacy of Hydroxychloroquine, it confirmed they would kill us to beat President Trump.  Never forget the evil we are fighting.  Racy Sicilian echoing RR

George Rebane

Dr Scott W Atlas, senior fellow at Stanford’s Hoover Institution, asks ‘Science, Politics, and COVID: Will Truth Prevail?’ in the Feb2021 issue of the Imprimis.  My short answer takeaway is NO.  The C19 public information cesspool has become so soiled and sullied over the last year that it is easy to believe over 90% of Americans have little or no idea of what the true course of the pandemic has been and what ‘science’ has really had to say about the public response policies implemented across the land.  Dr Atlas, an internationally recognized expert in the relevant fields required to make sense of what’s been going on, writes –

First, I have been shocked at the unprecedented exertion of power by the government since last March—issuing unilateral decrees, ordering the closure of businesses, churches, and schools, restricting personal movement, mandating behavior, and suspending indefinitely basic freedoms. Second, I was and remain stunned—almost frightened—at the acquiescence of the American people to such destructive, arbitrary, and wholly unscientific rules, restrictions, and mandates.

As these pages record, it’s his second point that has concerned me over the years since the Obama administration.  In the large, we Americans no longer act as inheritors of the greatest legacy of liberty and freedoms bequeathed in human history by our more stout-hearted forebears.  We have become a population of state-succored serfs, compliantly accepting every government instituted ratchet that incrementally proscribes our spirit as a liberty-loving people.

Given the social goals of the Democrat Party and its newly adopted radical leftwing political posture, I fault the Republican Party for letting down America with its ongoing sanguine acceptance of the socialist/communist diktats issued by the Left.  The relinquishing of its position as the active and visible leader of the nation’s political opposition has left a power vacuum that can and will be filled by ad hoc factions of conservative and libertarian Americans with nowhere else to turn.  This is leading us in a potentially dangerous direction as Dr Atlas concludes –

With social media acting as the arbiter of allowable discussion, and with continued censorship and cancellation of those with views challenging the “accepted narrative,” the United States is on the verge of losing its cherished freedoms. It is not at all clear whether our democratic republic will survive—but it is clear it will not survive unless more people begin to step up in defense of freedom of thought and speech.

I urge you to read the entire piece and then contact your local and national political critters.  If you’re a Democrat, ask them to review the history of collectivist regimes and the equal opportunity misery they have instituted over their nations.  And if you’re a Republican, tell your representatives to read the party’s platform, then get off their collective asses and provide some active leadership that will rally Main Street to recognize and resist our headlong rush to autocracy.  In short, since our Left is cutting the Right no slack, tell them to tell it like it is, and cut the ‘go along to get along’ crap.

WHAT!!! -

Foster parents in California are being asked to hold as many as 26 unaccompanied migrant children in their homes amid the burgeoning border crisis, according to a new report.

That wont happen it makes too much sense to link funding to employment prospects for specific disciplines. -

Opponents of the measure told the station that it unfairly puts liberal arts degrees at an unfair advantage and that the government ought not to be involved in choosing what scholarship money covers.

In a letter to state senators on Monday, Baxley said he believes that all students should be encouraged to pursue their passions, but noted that "higher education comes at a significant cost to both students and taxpayers and there needs to be at least some element of career planning involved."

"We have awakened a giant. We have to reconnect the education and economic model and we have begun that process," Baxley wrote.

‘A SICKENING SPECTACLE”
There was a whole lotta lyin’ (and cheatin’) goin’ on at the lectern when President Biden turned up for his first press conference yesterday. Michael Goodwin takes up the lyin’ in his New York Post column. His friends among the media made sure that they kept the degree of difficulty low. Biden was among friends. Michael Goodwin takes up these leading features of Biden’s performance in his New York Post column this morning. Goodwin bluntly calls it “a sickening spectacle.”

Cliffs notes for the impaired -

It appears to show the pictures and names of 25 journalists who were allowed into the East Room of the White House for the hour-long event, and their outlets.

The faces of a select few were circled, in apparent reference to those he would take questions from, and in what numerical order.

Critics of the president suggested that the “cheat sheets” were proof that Mr Biden was incapable of being president.

Yes, because we all know that foster children are inherently more damaging to property than than natural children.

[George Rebane]

StevenF 216pm - What you seem to miss here when the govt wants foster parents to lodge 25 or so 'kids' in their house is - 1) their sheer number, 2) potential language difficulties, 3) ability to legally discipline so many foster kids, and 3) the short shadow of the future that the kids have with their temporary home. How many of them will you take?

[Barry Pruett]

Now Steve I don’t want to speak for George, but I don’t think the fact that these migrants are foster children or migrants is the issue. I think that the issue is that there are 26 of them in a single house. I’m a little disappointed in you taking every effort and opportunity to simply mock and attempt to humiliate people by purposefully taking them out of context. That’s the kind of stuff someone else in town does, and I believed that you are smarter and better than that.

[Walt]

OK Steve,, Got a challenge for you. I dare you to visit a porta "john" on any job site where undocumented workers happen to be "employed".
The supposed adults ain't even house broke. They crap all over the seat, throw used TP in the urinal. I can just imagine what
condition the young would leave a bathroom.

So sign up to take a few dozen Steve,, Bet ya' won't.

[Walt]

LIB got all in a rage because Trump cut off funding for the Ukraine. "That money was allocated!"
Now Biden has done the same damned thing, but cutting off allocated money for the border wall...
Proggys have splain'n to do.
https://www.politico.com/news/2021/03/23/biden-border-wall-477714
"Like Donald Trump, Joe Biden has made a border wall promise he might not have the legal authority to keep.

On his first day in office, Biden hit pause on billions of dollars set to be spent on his predecessor’s long-touted barrier between the U.S. and Mexico while his administration figured out next steps for the money. Now the Government Accountability Office is launching a review to determine whether the new president broke the law by freezing the money in violation of budget rules designed to keep Congress in control of the cash flow, the federal watchdog confirmed this week."

Condolences to Steve. Being in the office with all women is like being in a shark tank. Alliances change swiftly. Estrogen OD. My condolences.

Interesting to note that one major mega company got high marks for the number of blacks and women in management positions. But, fault was found because despite the high numbers of blacks and women, there were not enough Latinos and Asians. Failing grade.

You are fighting a losing battle, Steve. The Woke can never be satisfied. White cis heterosexual male like you best start socking the greenies away, as much as humanly possible. Beans and rice time. You got a target on your White Privileged back. Now, back into your shark tank. And try to be nice for once. Sometimes you get real bitchy. You ain’t at work, Steve. You are on a blog! Cat fight tonight. Gotta get away?

[Walt]

It will really get ugly when they decide to UNIONIZE!
Guess who will need the "counseling" then!!

Really stunning, great smile. I doubt she'll stay longer at SBC than she has to.

Playing the race card on creepy grampa joe to the chi coms advantage -

Chang explained how Chinese officials and state-run media frame criticisms of China as a cause of “hate against Asian-Americans” while characterizing the American government as pursuing policies of “white racism.” China also pushes narratives of “white supremacy” to denigrate American society.

“The Chinese rolled into Anchorage, not to have meaningful discussions with us, but as part of coordinated campaign on racism,” Chang stated. “Yang Jiechi [pictured], who was China’s top diplomat in Anchorage, talked about Black Lives Matter. Just after that, [China’s] foreign ministry issued a statement on the ‘strong smell of gunpowder.’ That doesn’t mean anything to Americans, but to Chinese it means white racism [and refers to] the Opium Wars of the 19th century with Britain.”

Chang continued, “And then, in conjunction with all of that, there have been a number of media pieces about how, first of all, there should be no criticism of China because that causes hate against Asian-Americans, which is a lunacy position. And also, they talked about America’s relations with its — quote-unquote — few allies in Asia as all about — quote-unquote — white supremacy. So, there really has been a concerted campaign on racism.”

I don't think so Bill,, Cruz would have pushed him overboard.

Let me get this straight. The Socialist-Marxist want to defund the police, yet want the police to go around to people’s homes to confiscate weapons?? Did I get that right?

Dear Dark Days Diary,

THE WEEK IN CANCEL CULTURE: FIRST EDITION
One of our faithful readers down in Australia (you know who you are down under) wrote in to say that perhaps we need to have a regular TWiCC (The Week in Cancel Culture) to go with TWiP, and TGiP. Not sure if the topic lends itself to this format, because pictures of witch trials and ritual drownings would get old pretty fast. Plus, if the coverage was comprehensive at all, the item would get very long every week.

So perhaps a Sports Center-style highlight reel. And we have actually reached the point where the cancellers are starting to cancel themselves:

Team lefty does not like uppity minorities that dont follow the approved narratives -

Walker first reacted to Washington Post reporter Hamza Shaban’s tweet in which he linked coverage from CNN of the murder in Washington Saturday. He responded, "There are a lot of far-right commentators sharing this horrific story and highlighting the fact the perpetrators are Black."

Drag him. This is the exact same way Asian people got treated when calling anti-Asian murders/violence in SF. Nothing makes these dudes more angry than watching low-priority minorities stepping out of the intersectionality pecking order.
