Jimmy Carter may very well be as upset as the next guy from Tehran that Sir Ahmed Salman Rushdie [Ibn Rushd] has survived the knife attack
Jimmy Carter doesn't have to work too hard to be unlikable, but he does it anyway.
Rushdie for his part, like Rush Limbaugh, is a serial monogamist who can't seem to find a wife he likes, or who likes him.
Or maybe the wives just couldn't stand living under the cloud of the Ayatollah's 1989 fatwa, after which Rushdie divorced three times.
Carter threw gasoline on the fatwa fire with this piece in the paper of record not even three weeks after the fatwa was issued.
Biden lied about American citizens left in Afghanistan saying only 100 remained after the pullout when over 800 have been rescued in the interim
Republican efforts in Congress are responsible for the new information coming to light.
It is unclear how many American citizens still remain in Afghanistan.
Nor is anything said about the fate of tens of thousands of Afghan friends of the US who never made it out despite American promises to bring them here.
600 legal permanent residents of the US have also been rescued.
Columbus Man who said he raped 10-year old on May 12 who eventually had abortion in Indiana on June 30 is allegedly in relationship with her mother who is pregnant by him
10-Year-Old Rape Victim's Mom Is in Domestic Relationship With Child's Alleged Illegal Alien Rapist
He is thought to be an illegal alien from Guatemala and the mother an illegal alien from Mexico.
The Party of Violence desperately wants Election 2022 to be about abortion
Right off the bat this story lies, as usual from The New York Times, by omission:
In Michigan, Democrats took aim at the Republican nominee for governor almost immediately after the primary with a television ad highlighting her opposition to abortion, without exceptions for rape or incest. ...
Some abortion ads use the specific words and positions of Republican candidates against them. ... Some use Republicans’ unyielding stances on abortion to cast them more broadly as extremists.
The ad in Michigan actually says without exceptions for life of the mother, too, which is by itself a drive-by editing lie by "Put Michigan First".
A lie by insertion. Dixon never answered a life of the mother question that way, with "no exceptions".
You see how that works?
The New York Times sort of tells the truth about Dixon's position, which is no exceptions for rape and incest, but lies about the ad, which lies about Dixon's position by making her say something about the life of the mother which she didn't say.
Then later the former paper of record edges close to telling the truth about what's going on in the ad without actually telling you the truth about what's going on in the ad.
The chutzpah.
Democrats lie to you coming and going, and so does the New York Times, but I repeat myself.
Republicans, however, seem hopelessly, perennially, unequipped to counter this disinformation war.
They're like deer in the headlights.
And when the Democrats spot them, they floor it.

The CDC is no longer saying, as it did in June, that mRNA from the vaccines lasts in the body only "a few days", and that the spike proteins last only "a few weeks"
Here's the screenshot from the "Understanding mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines" page as of June 16th:
As of July 15th, the facts have changed!
There's no "few days" language anymore, and no "few weeks" language either. Instead at the bottom of the page there's a link off-site to this page, which talks about how long the mRNA and the spike protein last in monkeys and mice, but not in YOU.
After all this time the CDC has no human data?
I'd be upset if I were you. They've been claiming for more than a year that the mRNA and the spike proteins are gone from the human body within days and weeks. They're not claiming that anymore.
The CDC is sweeping this under the rug hoping you won't notice, announcing, as it is, the new guidance.
Why do excess deaths in the US consistently outnumber pandemic deaths?
In 2020 the difference was a whopping 118,000.
In 2021, when vaccination got into high gear, the difference was way down, but still high at about 36,000. That's at least equivalent to a whole year of influenza deaths.
Many skeptics are convinced the vaccines have something to do with this, and the CDC's deletion of "facts" from the fact box above isn't going to help convince them otherwise.
Good news for Baltimore, maybe
Woke social justice prosecutor Marilyn Mosby roundly defeated July 19th, leaves abject destruction in her wake:
In her first year in office, homicides surged 62 percent, jumping from 211 to 348. Murders have remained above 300 for each of her seven years in office—now surpassing 2,500 victims, of which at least 92 percent have been black. The sustained increase in murders is directly connected with Mosby’s pro-criminal policies.
Last year was the deadliest in Baltimore’s history, with a per capita homicide rate of more than 58 per 100,000 residents. And 2022 has been even worse, with the homicide rate increasing faster than anywhere other than New Orleans and with 215 murders already on the books. ...
Not one Democrat, elected or appointed, ever criticized or opposed Mosby’s policies, no matter how many black bodies piled up.

AP Obama: Judge Roy Moore awarded $8.2 million for defamation from Democrats' Senate Majority PAC in 2017
A federal jury awarded Republican Roy Moore $8.2 million in damages Friday after finding a Democratic-aligned super PAC defamed him in a TV ad recounting sexual misconduct accusations during his failed 2017 U.S. Senate bid in Alabama. Jurors found the Senate Majority PAC made false and defamatory statements against Moore in one ad that attempted to highlight the accusations against Moore.

Anita Dunn, $48 million special, takes 8 months to disclose her financial holdings: One law for me, another for thee
Dunn’s newly released financial disclosures, which are 93 pages long, show extensive stock, options, bond and private equity holdings . . ..
Dunn worked for the president as one of his senior advisors from January 2021 through that August before returning for a brief stint this March.
She was considered a special government employee for both posts who was exempt from disclosing her assets publicly.
She wasn’t required to file a public disclosure form until her most recent appointment in May. ...
also made tens of thousands of dollars exercising put options in the iShares Core S&P 500 Index, which could create conflicts of interest with “every single company” in the S&P 500, according to Walter Shaub, who used to run the Office of Government Ethics under the Obama administration and briefly served in the Trump administration.
“Options
are not exempt from the conflict of interest statute under any
circumstance. That means that she came into government with a conflict
of interest with every company whose stock she wrote an option for and
with every company in the referenced indexes,” Shaub said after
reviewing Dunn’s financial disclosure.

AP Obama: In all, nearly 180 Trump-endorsed candidates up and down the ballot have won their primaries since May while fewer than 20 have lost
Only two of the 10 House Republicans who supported Trump’s impeachment after the Jan. 6 insurrection are expected back in Congress next year. Rep. Jaime Herrera-Beutler, R-Wash., who conceded defeat after her Tuesday primary, was the latest to fall. Leading Trump antagonist Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., is at risk of joining her next week.
Phony Democrat SALT Caucus is out there today boasting it is going to vote for the Manchin bill anyway, which doesn't undo the Trump tax increases on the wealthy they promised to get rid of

SUOZZI, GOTTHEIMER, YOUNG, GARBARINO ANNOUNCE NEW BIPARTISAN SALT CAUCUS TO FIGHT FOR TAX RELIEF FOR MIDDLE CLASS FAMILIES
April 15, 2021
Press Release
32 Democrats and Republicans join
Today, April 15, 2021, Tom Suozzi (NY-3), U.S. Representatives Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5), Young Kim (CA-39), and Andrew Garbarino (NY-2) announced the formation of the new bipartisan SALT Caucus to advocate for new tax relief from Congress.
“Our effort to restore the SALT deduction is gaining momentum. Together, Democrats and Republicans alike, we will advocate for the restoration of the SALT deduction and highlight the middle class families who have been unfairly hurt by the cap,” said Rep. Tom Suozzi, SALT Caucus Co-Chair. “The cap on the SALT deduction has been a body blow to New York and middle-class families throughout the country. At the end of the day, we must fix this injustice.”
“We’re formally launching a new bipartisan group — the SALT Caucus — because, for all our Members, and for the tens of thousands of middle class families we represent, it is high time that Congress reinstates the State and Local Tax deduction, so we can get more dollars back in to the pockets of so many struggling families — especially as we recover from this pandemic,” said Rep. Josh Gottheimer, SALT Caucus Co-Chair. “This bipartisan group we’re founding today, with members from coast to coast and across the political spectrum, are all banding together to reinstate the State and Local Tax deduction, to find a way to get this done in Congress, and to actually get tax relief for the hard working middle class families we represent.”
“Hardworking Californians in the 39th District and across my home state have been burdened enough by high state and local taxes. It is estimated that in the 2022 tax year, California’s 39th District will pay on average more than $640 million due to the SALT cap,” said Rep. Young Kim, SALT Caucus Co-Chair. “I am proud to fight for lower taxes for my constituents as Co-Chair of the SALT Caucus and am looking forward to working together to ensure California workers and families can keep more of their hard-earned money.”
“The SALT cap penalizes working class Long Islanders. From firefighters to police officers, to teachers, to nurses, and small business owners, I hear from people every day about what a crushing blow the SALT cap has delivered them. I’m proud to be a Co-Chair of the bipartisan SALT Caucus to fully restore the deduction once and for all,” said Rep. Andrew Garbarino, SALT Caucus Co-Chair.
“A critical component of our overall economic recovery must be the repeal of the state and local tax deduction cap that was imposed by the 2017 tax law,” said Rep. Mikie Sherrill, SALT Caucus Vice Chair. “There is a misconception that the SALT deduction doesn’t help middle class families. But in high cost of living areas like my district, SALT does in fact make a critical difference in helping make ends meet for our middle class residents like teachers and law enforcement officers, who depend on this deduction to afford the high cost of living in our area. To be clear, the 2017 tax bill specifically targeted states and communities like mine that have prioritized key investments in our public schools, living wages for workers, environmental protections, the list goes on. I’m proud to be launching this bipartisan caucus to ensure we deliver a win on this issue for families in New Jersey and across the country.”
“The cap on the state and local tax deduction hurts middle class California families,” said Rep. Katie Porter, SALT Caucus Vice Chair. “During the coronavirus pandemic, our state and local governments have led public health efforts on testing and vaccines—a potent reminder of the important work they do. Restoring the state and local tax deduction, which has been in our tax code since its inception, gives taxpayers and communities the ability to invest in their priorities and levels the playing field across states for federal taxation.”
“Counties are on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic, supporting nearly 1,000 hospitals, more than 1,900 public health authorities and other services essential to residents’ safety and well-being. The human and financial impacts of addressing this health and economic emergency are staggering,” said National Association of Counties Executive Director Matthew Chase. “We applaud the formation of this bipartisan caucus committed to repealing the state and local tax deduction cap, which would reinstate our local control of our tax systems and strengthen the ability of our counties and local communities to deliver essential public services, such as emergency response, public health and infrastructure.”
The SALT Caucus leadership consists of:
Co-Chair Tom Suozzi (NY-3)
Co-Chair Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5)
Co-Chair Andrew Garbarino (NY-2)
Co-Chair Young Kim (CA-39)
Bill Pascrell, Jr. (NJ-9), SALT Caucus Vice Chair
Katie Porter (CA-45), SALT Caucus Vice Chair
Mikie Sherrill (NJ-11), SALT Caucus Vice Chair
Jamie Raskin (MD-08), SALT Caucus Vice Chair
Chris Smith (NJ-04), SALT Caucus Vice Chair
Lauren Underwood (IL-14), SALT Caucus Vice Chair
The other founding members of the SALT Caucus include: Reps. Danny Davis, Nicole Malliotakis, Julia Brownley, Judy Chu, Lee Zeldin, Michelle Steel, Mike Levin, Jimmy Panetta, Jimmy Gomez, Brian Higgins, Jerry Nadler, Tom Malinowski, Jeff Van Drew, Alan Lowenthal, Anna Eshoo, Andy Kim, Ted Lieu, Brad Schneider, John Larson, Eleanor Holmes Norton, Mike Garcia, and Gregory Meeks.
Rush Limbaugh, MD, was only off about coronavirus vs. flu deaths in 2020 by about 6.5 times
"The coronavirus is the common cold. 2% [who] get the coronavirus die. That’s less than the flu. That is a far lower death statistic than any form of influenza. There’s nothing unusual about the coronavirus".
-- Rush Limbaugh, 2/24/20, here
Rush's coronavirus death statistic ended up being off by about only 6.5 times, per the CDC leading causes of death data for 2020 below.
Rush died in 2021 of the second leading cause of death in 2020.
There were approximately 20.024 million cases of COVID-19 in 2020, so 1.75% died according to the CDC data.
CDC estimates an average of 29.6 million cases of influenza annually 2010-2020. Deaths from influenza and pneumonia of 53,417 in 2020, below, is 0.18% of that, a far lower rate of death than for any form of COVID-19, heh heh.
The rate of death for COVID-19 was thus far, far worse than for influenza . . . by about 9.7 times in 2020.
Republicans hate it when the Consumer Price Index declines, as it just did from June to July 2022
It causes cognitive dissonance. Zero increase to the index, zero percent inflation!
See how easy that is?
Shouldn't they be able to understand Rush Limbaugh style math by now when they hear it from the president himself? Or was the Rush Limbaugh Show all for nothing?
Sad!
