Instead of wading into politics Moochelle should just wade out to sea

I mean, it's right there in her own backyard.

And take George Bush with you, please!

LOL, Democrats run both houses of Congress and own The White House but Carter and Obama both say democracy at risk

Democrats are hostile to democracy. It keeps them from imposing their will.

Desecration is routine for the US Congress, a filthy stinking Den of Thieves

At least they are honest, unlike every health authority in the United States working in government or quoted in the press: Vaccine failure in Ontario, Canada

Fully-vaccinated COVID-19 cases presently outnumber unvaccinated by 5.9:1 in Ontario.

Fully-vaxxed hospitalizations outnumber unvaccinated by 2.7:1 in Ontario.

Fully-vaxxed in ICU = >36%.

Breakthroughs are the norm now.

Meanwhile in the People's Republic of Chicago:

“COVID is very real, it’s merciless, and unless you are fully vaccinated, your defenses against it are pretty low,” said CDPH Commissioner Allison Arwady, M.D., in a statement. “You can only fully fight this virus if you’re vaccinated."

No deaths are linked to the Jan 6 "attack" except Ashli Babbitt's, at the hands of a federal agent

Media, enemies of the people, repeat nothing but lies.

A nation 18 or older 86% vaccinated for COVID-19 is a nation of sheeple

Three-percenters, take note.

Hey, remember when the Pennsylvania and Virginia militias mobilized for Civil War in 1800 while Congress stalemated 35 times over who would be president?

The good olde days.

J6 Hysteria Is How Media And Other Democrats Are Avoiding Accountability For Their Rigging Of The 2020 Election

Omicron has completely overrun Pfizer in Israel

Daily new cases per million since Nov 24: up >2,300% !

Percent received at least one dose of vaccine by Nov 24: 67.8%

Percent fully vaxxed as of Nov 24: 62.2%

Number dosed at least once by Nov 24: 6.3 million

Number fully vaxxed by Nov 24: 5.78 million

Number boostered by Nov 24: 4.07 million

Total doses administered by Nov 24: 16.14 million

Omicron cases soar globally, but daily deaths per million from COVID globally are down ~17% since Nov 24 when Omicron was first identified

Omicron is running over everyone like a runaway train, vaccinated or not, but 6 weeks after its identification it is contributing no added lethality to the pandemic curve.

Global daily new deaths per million are still as low now as they were 14 months ago and appear to be headed even lower.

Re-upping this from last July, when the CDC still said vaccines prevent disease, for all the fully vaxxed now coming down with Omicron

Not an auspicious start: Hope she knows how to drive that thing

In a historic first, aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln deploys under command of female captain

Five sailors were killed during those work-ups in September when their helicopter crashed into the carrier’s flight deck and tumbled into the sea. Bauernschmidt, who came up through the ranks flying helicopters, had only been in command for 12 days when the crash occurred. She offered condolences to the families of those killed and talked about the effect the crash had on the crew.

For your listening pleasure this evening, one year after the end of WWIII

Or is it two?

So it goes.

And to think World War III was only a year ago

Seems longer ago than that.

See what I mean?

At least Billy Pilgrim knows what I mean.

Alex Berenson still thinks The Atlantic was wrong about Georgia's Experiment in Human Sacrifice

You can still read Alex Berenson, at Substack, as I do. He continues to be an important source for stories our media continues to ignore (censor) because they don't fit the narrative. But sometimes the takes can be odd.

Alex today still thinks the Georgia story way back when was a bad covid take, and that Germany's troubles presently somehow invalidate The Atlantic's positive opinion on the record of Europe's biggest country outside of Russia.

Neither point is defensible.

The US State of Georgia today ranks 10th worst in the US for deaths per million of its population, at 2961/m. Mississippi is our very worst, at 3511/m. In between there, there are red and blue states, including New Jersey and New York.

But Germany today is at 1361/m. Worst place in the world Peru by contrast is at 6336/m.

Germany's done pretty damn well considering it has a population of 83 million compared with Georgia's paltry <10 million.

The situation in Georgia to date, in fact, is 118% worse than in Germany. And if Georgia were a country, it would be ranked in the top 15 worst performers in the world today for deaths per million.

I think Alex is letting animus cloud his judgment. Animus certainly for The Atlantic, but perhaps also for Germany.

Gee, why would that be?

Georgia's done a very poor job. Not as poor as New Jersey and New York, and not poor enough by comparison with them to be singled out the way they were. "Stupid hicks" elitism, right? On that we agree. But Germany's done remarkably well, and we should care enough to understand why.

But Alex is too busy to go into that right now. The drive-by-shooting of the "little homily on the brilliance of Germany’s Covid response" will have to do for now.

COVID-19 in the USA by the numbers: About as infectious as the flu, but 10-13 times more deadly in the first two years of the pandemic

Deaths 2020: 346,050

Deaths 2021: 477,867

Cases 2020: 20.0m

Cases 2021: 34.7m

Case fatality rate 2020: 1.73%

Case fatality rate 2021: 1.38%

Case prevalence 2020: 6.1% of 328m population

Case prevalence 2021: 10.4% of 332m population

Typical annual prevalence of influenza: 8% of population (9.2% in the previous decade)

Typical annual deaths from influenza: 36,000

Alpha and Delta have produced 22% more cases in 2021 in the USA but 20% fewer deaths

Alpha dominated in the US during April, May, and June. Delta has dominated since July 1.

Alpha and Delta cases in the US, April through December 2021: 24.2 million

US COVID-19 cases April through December 2020: 19.8 million

Alpha and Delta deaths in the US, April through December 2021: 272,259

US COVID-19 deaths April through December 2020: 341,746

The data is consistent with the theory that viruses mutate to become more infectious at the expense of lethality.

All indications so far indicate that this will also continue to be the case with Omicron.

Axios finally updated its Variant Tracker: So far "Delta" still dominates in the US, with Omicron most prevalent in Louisiana at just shy of 27%

Check it out here.

Politico reported last week that the CDC had to climb down about its estimate of the prevalence of Omicron in the US.

It had originally estimated prevalence of 73.2% in the US on Dec 18, but revised that down to just 22.5%.

Quite the doozy, that.

This was very amusing coming as it did with all the other messaging shifts last week:

Ditch the cloth masks for N95s;

Walensky at CDC claiming suddenly that PCR tests are unreliable;

You need only 5 days of quarantine, not ten, because, you know, Omicron is different;

Mr. I'm Going to Shut Down the Virus blurting out that there's no federal solution;

And Fauci suddenly admitting the distinction between being admitted to hospital for Covid as opposed to just with it.

During the final week of 2021 every day is the Friday afternoon news dump for the Biden administration

Tennessee is reporting breakthrough deaths from COVID in August, September, and October in a range of 15-17%

Daily deaths per million from COVID globally haven't been this low since late October 2020, fourteen months ago, but there's a frenzy to get tested for some reason

Biden CDC: 10 days quarantine for Republicans, 5 days for Democrats

Omicron may be spreading like wildfire, but deaths per million globally are lower now, a month after its discovery, than they were in mid-October

Sociologist writing for TIME Magazine caricatures First Baptist Church, Dallas, Texas, but doesn't interview a single actual member of the church

Attending the event in person allowed me to appreciate how central Trump remains to white evangelicalism. ...

Standing in line 2.5 hours before the event, I chatted with a group of five elderly women who all came together. All were committed churchgoers in the Dallas area, but none were members at First Baptist. ...

There was Bill, a repairman who had taken public transportation to get to First Baptist. He was not a member either, but had always been a huge fan of Trump and was eager to see him in person. ...

And there was Carlos. Like Bill, Carlos was visiting First Baptist from elsewhere in the city along with a friend. ...

Trump’s appeal Sunday morning extends far beyond the First Baptist faithful. Evangelical visitors from around the city had come to cheer for their President. They were convinced he’d been treated unfairly. And they pined to see him back in office. ...

For the vast majority of white evangelicals in the U.S., like those visiting First Baptist Dallas on Sunday, Trump is still their warrior. ... over two-thirds of white evangelicals felt the 2020 election had been stolen from Trump.

More.

This guy should get out more and document the adulation directed at Democrats visiting America's black churches and insinuate in a column about how 92% of the nation's blacks voted for Joe Biden in 2020 because they're duped by religion or something.

Christmas cheer is being able to regift the bad thing the Easter bunny left you

Biden promised to shut down the virus, now says there's no federal solution

Which is even more odd since he has mandated vaccines for the employees of large companies.

The guy is obviously too old upstairs for the job.

Story.

"There is no federal solution. This gets solved at the state level," Biden responded, before mentioning another Republican governor.

John Tamny remains as confused as a thinker and as obtuse as a writer as he has ever been

John Tamny has made some progress, however.

He now admits that some of his views are "fringe".

Which is amusing, since we've known that since Russell Kirk demonstrated long ago how the libertarians have always been "chirping sectarians".

A case in point of the continuing confusion:

Tamny expresses fawning admiration for George Will's latest collection of his columns, which opens asserting the priority of the study of history.

But Tamny later avers without the slightest awareness of self-contradiction that "The talented people, the unequal people, have a tendency to run from the present and past."

Nostalgia is "dangerous".

Do make up your mind for once, John.

The seemingly interminable review is here.

Because our better selves are optimists, we're musing today that COVID-19 will soon be a thing of the past, along with Donald Trump, his warp speed vaccines, and that clown Joe Biden

Christmas wishes do come true. You only have to believe.

US Army's Walter Reed Army Institute of Research near Silver Spring, MD, announces single shot Spike Ferritin Nanoparticle COVID-19 vaccine

Phase 1 human trials have been completed on non-vaccinated, never infected individuals, with Phases 2 and 3 forthcoming on vaccinated or previously sick people.

From the story:

Within weeks, scientists at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research expect to announce that they have developed a vaccine that is effective against COVID-19 and all its variants, even Omicron, as well as previous SARS-origin viruses that have killed millions of people worldwide.

Merry Christmas.

FDA finally grants emergency use authorization to Pfizer's Paxlovid, a protease inhibitor which may dramatically reduce hospitalizations for people diagnosed with COVID-19

From the story:

The U.S. has purchased 10 million courses of Pfizer’s treatment, Paxlovid, in a $5 billion deal. President Joe Biden said in November that his administration is working to ensure that the treatments are free and accessible. Biden said last month that delivery would start by the New Year and continue through 2022.

Merry Christmas.

Michael Anton doesn't have a clue about the immense value of the periphery

Taiwan is "peripheral" to our interests, Michael Anton says over and over again, here.

Well then, so is Hawaii.

Keep thinking like that and eventually Catalina Island becomes peripheral, too.

If you want to legitimize China's nine-dash line, something he never mentions, giving up Taiwan is the fastest way to do it.

There is MUCH more at stake than Taiwan's relative freedom and independence. All of southeast Asia is at risk if China retakes Taiwan.

The answer isn't to accept the fact, as Anton does, that our Navy is rotten to the core and unable to defend Taiwan. The answer is to reform the Navy before it's too late.

If the Chicoms kill all our woke Navy in a battle over Taiwan, that wouldn't be the start we want, but it would be a start to the reform we most need.

CEO of Pfizer partner BioNTech says the boostered "are likely to transmit" COVID-19

"We must be aware that even triple-vaccinated are likely to transmit the disease…It is obvious we are far from 95 per cent effectiveness that we obtained against the initial virus," Ugur Sahin told the French daily Le Monde in an interview published on Monday.
