Scattershots – 27jul22 (updated 31jul22)

George Rebane

Biden, the killer president – When the tally of all the deaths resulting from his announced policy of abolishing our southern border is calculated, the numbers will now reach well over a 100,000 annually during his term in the White House.  The deaths occur on both sides of what used to be our border.  Thousands have died trying to make it from their native countries before reaching the US, thousands die in transport after crossing over, but the overwhelming number of Biden deaths occur all over the land in America from drug overdoses.  The major cause now is Chinese-produced, cartel-delivered fentanyl that daily floods into the US in amounts that can kill our entire population.  Local jurisdictions are overwhelmed with the number of overdosers dying and requiring critical care (example here).  And the primary cohort of victims is made up of our black, Hispanic, and Indian populations.  Reading the NYT this morning, and monitoring other lamestream outlets, there is no mention of this national emergency of deliberate, ongoing, and cataclysmic human tragedy and flaunting of America’s border and immigration laws.  From the Left nothing but silence and ongoing lies about systemic racism, white supremacy, and social injustice.  If ever there was a reason to impeach the entire executive branch as criminal sacks of … .

Woke medical schools have arrived.  Mandatory woke ideology and CRT curriculum has now infected another STEM field – medicine.  “Future doctors will be obliged to learn how health relates to ‘systems of oppression.’” (more here)  Medical students and residents will be expected to master new “diversity, equity, and inclusion competencies” according to the Association of American Medical Colleges.  These additional courses will be required in all accredited medical schools.  And make no mistake, including this added curricular crap is going to displace real medical education required for today’s physicians to keep up with the rapidly accelerating technology that impacts all aspects of healthcare.  Today’s physicians are already woefully behind on diagnostics, treatments, and pharmacology, as can be verified by any patient with some technical training.  From here on out, according to the AAMC, “aspiring doctors will have to become fluent in woke concepts such as ‘intersectionality’ (defined as) overlapping systems of oppression and discrimination that communities face based on race, gender, ethnicity, ability, etc.’ Med students who managed to avoid learning critical race theory in college will now get an immersive course.”  Medical mistakes already take more than 200,000 lives annually (here).  And when we calculate the new stats on medical morbidity and mortality, all of us will pay for this next helping of death by government.  Socialism on the march.

[31jul22 update]  President Newsom without a single cast vote.  People are now beginning to accept the likelihood of Biden’s early retirement; something that has been often foretold on these pages.  All the Democratic and socialist leadership of our country don’t want Bumblebrain to run in 2024, and everyone knows that the country’s First Kackle is a joke and will remain a joke.  A feasible and likely scenario has Kamala being offered big bucks (by, say, Soros) to resign and accept a position on the board of a global leftwing organization, purportedly working to save the world from one of many capitalist ills.  Kamala understands that it’s the best deal she can get after her embarrassing performance as VP – she accepts and resigns.  Ol’ Joe is then spoon-fed the reason for his early departure, and the need to make a deal with a compliant and drooling Gavin Newsom.  Newsom becomes VP, and soon thereafter Bumblebrain resigns for health reasons.  Newsom becomes president and immediately pardons every available Biden within that terminally corrupt family.  Newsom appoints his VP – someone like Stacey Abrams or one of the other well-known double dummies.  They go into Dems’ 2024 convention as incumbents, and to loud cheers and lamestream adulation, they emerge as the Democratic candidates for the party’s top of the ticket.  The scenario is perfectly legal and already tested by Richard Nixon when his VP Agnew was caught holding a sack of cash that didn’t belong to him.  Gerald Ford became VP, and the rest is history.

Speaking of double dummies, consider those sharp-witted journalists on the various rightwing media outlets starting with FN and FB interviewing the legion of liars that the administration fronts as their economic experts.  For decades, recession has been defined as two successive quarters of GDP contraction.  This definition has been used by the Fed, ensconced in economics textbooks, and touted by every politician over the last fifty some years.  Biden’s mangling of our vibrant economy during 18 months in office now requires rejection of the established definition.  We’re told by Team Biden and their lamestream lackies that the old definition was never correct (even though everyone is on tape having used it).  They tell us that recession is a more complex matter that has a technical definition which is never mentioned by the leftwing economic experts.  But what’s missing from all these interviews is the question that always goes begging – well then, tell us what is the correct definition of a recession.  There has not been a single journalist with the wherewithal between their ears to immediately ask that question when a Democrat again moves the recession goal posts.  Am I the only one who has noticed this dereliction of journalistic professionalism?  Please tell me it ain’t so.

In related news, several social media outlets have banned the use of the word, “groomer.”
Apparently the Lefty perverts want to hide their affection for and affiliation with pedophiles, child predators, and NAMBA. The reason for the term ‘groomer’ is now hate speech because it is considered anti-LGBTQAA+.

Ya got that right -

We are familiar by now with the rapidly multiplying strictures our progressive overlords seek to impose to ensure a pleasure-free life for the rest of us. Rothman comprehensively enumerates the major moral obligations we are supposed to pursue and the sins that stand in their way. Saving the planet requires abstention from meat, plane travel, and having children. Promoting racial justice means no wrong words lest they be construed as microaggressions. The risk of offending some oppressed minority means no comedy. Sexual equality demands avoidance of any hint of romantically hopeful advances. The myriad terrible injuries that might befall the fragile requires us to abstain from contact sports. And of course the last two pandemic years especially have introduced us all to a new priesthood of establishment experts and their acolytes dreaming up whole new ways to stop us enjoying ourselves.

We live in a world in which cycling is sexist, jogging is racist, and a plate of egg dumplings is a form of malignant cultural appropriation. Whatever you’re doing, just stop it. As H.L. Mencken famously defined it, Puritanism is "the haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.

I love how Yellen claims there is no recession as consumer spending is still "strong". Hilarious. Just look at all the dough Americans are splashing out for at the gas pump and grocery store! Spending like there's no tomorrow! Of course it leaves nothing for the do-dads, add-ons and toys, but hey - look at all the spending! It's glorious! Inflation really loosens the ol' purse strings!

Stop calling Krugman a dunce. Any economist that can be wrong so often and still make a good living by getting people to listen to him has got to have some kind of smarts.
Anyone can be an idiot shill for a while but eventually no one will give him/her/it the time of day let alone a payday. Krugman has some kind of magic that keeps the rubes flocking to him to get the latest BS on the economy. I suppose a lot of folks listen to him just so they can assume the opposite is true. He does serve that purpose.

[Bill Tozer]

Scott 0.

Unemployment…..sorry readers for straying a bit off-topic briefly

When the State and local governments shut down our economy and put our then record robust economy into an intentional coma, thousands of people, if not millions, were thrown onto unemployment. When the people said, ‘No mas!’ and began to push back and/or ignore our rulers, the mandates disappeared.

All that happened, unemployment wise, was folks simply returned to their old jobs… if their employer was still solvent. The workforce simply went back to work they had pre-pandemic when they got the green light. Biden boasts about the jobs and low unemployment rate, but Biden did not create those jobs. Folks just returned to what they were doing before Blue State Governors and mayors screwed it all up.

Even the Conservative Wall Street Journal is questioning whether we are in an actual; recession at this time.

Here's an excerpt from the Wall street Journal of a conversation with Jon Hilsenrath who is the chief economics correspondent for The Wall Street Journal, where he is responsible for covering the Federal Reserve.

Kate Linebaugh: So what's your answer to the question of whether or not we're in a recession right now?

Jon Hilsenrath: My answer is that recession is one narrow, poorly understood word. What's my answer? I'll give you an answer that an economist would use maybe. Maybe. Maybe, but I don't think that explains what's actually going on in the economy. I think what better explains it is that we're in a moment of exceptional turbulence that makes people feel bad and could cause activity to get even worse in the months ahead if we don't start seeing some things improve. People use the R word, recession. I would use two T words, turbulence and transition. Turbulence is the story of what happened. Transition is the story of where we are right now. And recession is the story of what we could be about to be walking into.

It’s not a recession, it’s a transition! Why is the Left so obsessed with transsexuals and others transitioning. Like they can’t talk about anything else. I, for one, know exactly how I was born and play the cards I was dealt. No transitioning for me. I prefer to keep things just as they are, junk and all.

Ripping into Biden’s lies

Wall Street Journal editorial board pens scathing op-ed on the 'Schumer-Manchin tax increase'
They called the bill a 'tax-and-spend behemoth'

The board noted that the legislation will be most harmful to domestic manufacturers and cited a report from the non-partisan Congress Joint Committee on Taxation. The report found that 49.7% of the tax would fall on domestic manufactures. The legislation would also tax Americans earning less than $200,000, breaking a campaign pledge President Biden made during the 2020 election.

"Taxes will rise by $16.7 billion in 2023 on Americans earning less than $200,000 a year. Taxpayers earning between $200,000 and $500,000 will pay $14.1 billion more," the board wrote.

This gives the lie to Democratic claims that no one earning under $400,000 will pay more taxes under the bill, a promise Mr. Biden also made in his campaign. The reality is that the Schumer-Manchin bill is a tax increase on nearly every American," it continued.

The board warned supporters of the bill how new taxes on workers and businesses will unlikely be popular and that they would be "responsible" for the economic repercussions of the legislation.

The board wrote that those who support the bill "will be responsible for the economic consequences". "Their new tax on workers is unlikely to be a political or economic winner."

The WH swings and misses. Strike 4!

WHOSE RECESSION?
The Biden administration has tried to redefine “recession” to avoid responsibility for two consecutive quarters of GDP decline. Has that rather pitiful effort worked? No, according to Rasmussen Reports:

Despite denials from the White House, most voters think the American economy is in a recession – and agree that Democrats are to blame for it.

A new national telephone and online survey by Rasmussen Reports finds that 62% of Likely U.S. voters believe the U.S. economy is currently in a recession, while 23% think it’s not. Another 15% are not sure.

So much for White House spin. The real question, though, is: regardless of whether you call it a recession, who is to blame for the current economic decline? Rasmussen’s polling is eye-opening:

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said: “Democrats inherited an economy that was primed for an historic comeback, and promptly ran it straight into the ground.” Fifty-nine percent (59%) of voters agree with McConnell’s statement, including 45% who Strongly Agree with the Kentucky Republican. Thirty-five percent (35%) disagree, including 27% who Strongly Disagree with the quote from McConnell.

If those numbers are anywhere near correct, it is hard to see how the Democrats can avoid a blowout in November.

‘Why we lost trust in the expert class’

By Victor Davis Hanson

Excerpts: (a few)

“Accordingly, many European Union governments followed the advice of green experts. They eagerly shut down coal, natural gas, and nuclear power plants to transition immediately to "renewable energy."

Most citizens were afraid to object that in cloudy, cold Germany solar panels were not viable methods of electrical generation — especially in comparison to the country’s vast coal deposits and its large, model nuclear power industry.

As a result, German government officials warn that this winter, in 19th-century fashion, families will have to burn wood — the dirtiest of modern fuels — to endure the cold. And there is further talk of "warm rooms," where like pre-civilizational tribal people, the elderly will bunch together within a designated heated room to keep alive.“

“FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith admitted to altering a federal court document in efforts to convict an innocent suspect.”

“At the height of the massive 2020 enforced quarantine and lockdowns, some 1,200 medical and health "professionals" signed a petition claiming that thousands of left-wing protestors should be exempt from the very quarantine they had insisted on for others.

The experts absurdly claimed that denying tens of thousands the right to break quarantines to protest in the street was a greater health threat than COVID-19.”

Checked out your link. Goodness Gregory...What a shocker! People with money influence politics. You just now discovered that? Can you cite any law they broke?

[Gregory]

The shocker is they came up with a novel way to do it... they took over GOVERNMENT election offices.

There are definitely laws against it now. There might have been laws against it before November 2020.

And ordinary folk think it dirty pool.

You mean dirty pool like coming up with fake electors and storming the Capitol in the attempt to stop Biden from taking office by delaying the inauguration process?

[Paul Emery]

So you're blaming the riot on the Zuck Bucks Gregory. I thought the riot happened because of what Trump called Stop the Steal which was a rebellion to flip the legal and verified election and install Trump as the winner of the election.

[Gregory]

The Zuck Bucks was an essential part of the steal, Punch. I thought you knew that.

[Paul Emery]

Never heard that Gregory. Can you provide some documentation?

Used to be psul liked using the ol “rope a dope” …..as of late though almost no rope, nearly 100% dope.

[Gregory]

I accept your forfeit, Punch.

What are Zuckbucks Gregory? That slang is not part of my vocabulary

W
hy can't you provide a definition of Zukebucks as it applies to your question Gregory?

What is the factual basis for saying " half billion partisan Zuckbucks" were spent in swing states?

What "cycle" are you referring to Don?

Do you have a couple of credible links to verify your contention Gregory?

I love it when we go back to the classics......."Uncle Punchy's Super Happy Fun Question Time Show™........ sponsored by Lucky Strikes.....and now in color.

re PaulE 823pm - The insularity of the liberal mind. Those who restrict their inputs to lamestream sources never hear of anything going on that gives lie to the progressives' narrative. Silly me, by now I thought the whole country knew how Zuckerberg sprayed Zuck Bucks around a select group of the nation's election precincts. Doing that has even come up in Congress where some legislators want to pass a law prohibiting such blatant enabling of a favored political party.

[Gregory]

George, Punchy just punches.

His playing dumb is an act. Mostly.

"But the Inflation Reduction Act isn’t just misnamed because it won’t do what its title promises — it will likely make inflation worse by raising the cost of producing goods and services and lowering their overall supply. The higher cost and consequent lower supply of goods means that money circulating in the economy is used to purchase fewer goods, thereby pushing up the price of goods, leading to higher inflation."

T
hanks for restating my questions fish. Still waiting for answers to most questions. The most important one is "What is the factual basis for saying " half billion partisan Zuckbucks" were spent in swing states?" What Gregory has provided is allegations but no facts.

George, can you provide a couple links about the legislators who want to pass a law prohibiting such "blatant enabling of a favored political party."

One can lead a Punchy to facts but one cannot make him think.

Punchy just reverts to punching.

PaulE 643am - Not at all Paul. Since you never even heard of Zuck Bucks, finding out the desire to legislate against such election interference is left as an exercise for the student.
