Herd Immunity

sunbeam March 3, 2021 Comments Off

I was alerted by a friend to an article in the Wall Street Journal by Marty Makary. Makary is a professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and Bloomberg School of Public Health, chief medical adviser to Sesame Care, and author of “The Price We Pay.” Dr. Makary has been heavily involved in the tracking of the COVID caseload here and around the world.

We’ll Have Herd Immunity by April

Makary points out that the number of new cases is down 77% over the last month and a half. Why? Makary notes:

More COVID Insanity

sunbeam March 2, 2021 Comments Off

Dr. Tom Woods has been an invaluable source for all manner of things related to the COVID insanity gripping a significant portion of the public. I present below an email from a young person to Dr. Woods concerning the situation at his university.

This email details the horrific situation that this person finds himself in. It is all due to the insane restrictions that have been imposed on the population by the COVID Stasi. This extends with even greater ferocity to those imprisoned within out institutions of higher learning. As this author indicates, the COVID Stasi are aided and abetted in their grand schemes by student volunteers. These volunteers have been brainwashed into believing that they have a moral high ground. They believe they are doing a righteous thing when they snitch on their fellow students.

Random Quotes

Former Gen. Stanley McChrystal:

“I did see a similar dynamic in the evolution of al-Qaida in Iraq where a whole generation of angry Arab youth with very poor prospects followed a powerful leader who promised to take them back in time to a better place, and he led them to embrace an ideology that justified their violence. This is now happening in America.”

McChrystal is, of course, referring to PDJT as the powerful leader. Just how has PDJT led people to embrace violence as a solution to the problems plaguing the country? Did PDJT encourage BLM and Antifa to burn, pillage, loot and kill during the summer? Did PDJT order the police to stand down and allow burning, pillaging, looting and killing? Did PDJT encourage and foment violence in the wake of the most brazen election fraud in the history of the country?

Something to really think about…

I found these numbers interesting.

As reported by the CDC … Here are the US deaths by year and the change from the previous year.

Year 2017: 2,818,503 Americans died

Year 2018: 2,839,205 deaths (20,702 more than the previous year 2017)

Is The End Of America Near?

sunbeam February 24, 2021 Comments Off

I have been writing for a long time about the usurping of Americans’ constitutional rights under the guise of a pandemic. The lockdowns, and other restrictive measures (no in-person religious services, no face-to-face schooling, wearing masks, etc.) is leading America to becoming a totalitarian state. The populace is being trained to submit to any and all dictates coming from our elected politicians. This is always couched inside the rhetoric of this being for one’s own good.

Naomi Wolf is an American liberal, feminist author, journalist and former political advisor to Al Gore and Bill Clinton. Wolf was an advisor to Bill Clinton’s successful run for a second term in 1996 for the Presidency. Wolf has written a number of books including the bestseller The End of America released in 2007.

This week Wolf appeared, believe it or not, on Tucker Carlson’s show. As Tucker noted, he’s sure she probably lost friends just for doing that. Such is the nature of the Cancel Culture in this country.

Why did she take this step which must have been fraught with trepidation for her? Even though she is someone who might be characterized as being on the Left, Wolf sees what is going on in the country as the precursor to a full-on police state. In her mind this transcends everything liberals and conservatives might disagree on. The people must unite to fight back against this appropriation of our liberties.

Newt Gingrich Speaks Out

The following is from Newt Gingrich , a former speaker of the House of Representatives. I wholeheartedly agree with everything he says here. My thanks to RM for bringing this to my attention.

Texas Without Power

sunbeam February 17, 2021 Comments Off

As many have undoubtedly heard by now, many people in Texas are without electric power. Some 2 million households are struggling to stay warm without power during a major winter storm. When the state’s grid operator, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), began implementing rolling blackouts at 1:25 a.m. Monday, the outages were intended to be implemented on a rolling basis — up to 45 minutes per affected area, according to the ERCOT.

However, many areas were continually without power before ERCOT decided on rolling blackouts and continued to be without power after that decision. “Unfortunately, if you are a customer who is currently experiencing an outage, you should be prepared to be without power for at least the rest of the day,” tweeted CenterPoint Energy.

Jackie Sargent, the general manager for Austin Energy, said Monday afternoon that based on information from ERCOT, the local power outages could extend into Tuesday afternoon.

Contrary to what one might think, the energy problem wasn’t primarily due to downed power lines. Instead, in a state that has a quarter of America’s proven natural gas reserves, the power went away because Texas has turned to wind generation — and the generators froze. This coupled with a high demand for natural gas showed the folly of depending on “green” energy as a critical component of one’s energy grid.

This gives new meaning to “Houston, we have a problem.”

The avatar in the President’s office removed the terrorist designation from the Houthis (primarily in Yemen). This designation had been put in place during the Trump administration.

Last week the Houthis bombed an airport in Saudi Arabia. The drone strike targeted Abha International Airport in Saudi Arabia, an airport just 75 miles from the Yemeni border that is frequently targeted by the militant rebel group. The attack set one civilian plane on fire.

My memory fails me but isn’t there a word that is used for organizations that target civilian populations with violence? ...

The Big Racket

sunbeam February 16, 2021 Comments Off

The Biden administration is considering curtailing the ability for citizens to travel freely but has effectively hung out an “Open Borders” sign for illegals to come into the country. That would mean the border would once again be overrun by drugs, sex traffickers and criminals. Is this just the usual hypocrisy from the Left? Or is there something more sinister going on?

ARIZONA […] In recent days, more than 1,000 people who had been detained after crossing into the U.S. have been released into the country in a reversal of the Trump administration’s near-shutdown of the border. Many more people are gathering on the Mexican side, setting up a test of America’s ability and willingness to admit migrants during a pandemic.

On Thursday in Mexicali, across from Calexico, Calif., migrants could be seen trying to scale a border fence. A migrant camp in Matamoros, Mexico, just across a bridge from Texas, has grown to 1,000 people over the past few weeks.

There is something more sinister going on. The best title for it might be “The Big Racket.”

Sundance over at CTH has written on this subject multiple times over the years. I will be quoting liberally from his posts.

Politicians on both sides of the aisle play political games with the issue of illegal immigration. As Sundance has noted:

There is no greater disconnect from ordinary Americans on any singular issue than the policy positions of Democrats and Republicans in Washington DC surrounding illegal immigration. President Donald Trump was confronting their unified interests.

The Reichstag Fire Of The Democrats

sunbeam February 12, 2021 Comments Off

This seems to be my week for visiting historical parallels. Daniel Greenfield has written an article for Frontpage Mag that does an excellent job of drawing parallels between the current actions of the Democratic Party and their allies and totalitarian governments of the past. I will be drawing liberally from the article.

You can read the entire article here.

Of course, historical parallels need not be controlling of future events. But, there is danger in failing to learn from the lessons of history. It is best to be prepared. The lessons that we derive from historical events is a highly recommended first step in that preparation.

While walls, razor wire, and military encampments rise outside the halls of government, inside them the Democrats have unleashed a true coup. Protesters have “stormed” Congress before, from both the Left and the Right, which cannot be called overthrowing the government. But Democrats began their own overthrow by launching an unconstitutional post-office impeachment of President Trump for speaking at a peaceful protest and a push to remove Senate members who objected to the stolen election by abusing the 14th Amendment.

The fake emergency has been extended to March. The FBI continues falsely claiming that there is some sort of threat that requires 7,500 soldiers to conduct a military occupation of the nation’s capital. The FBI’s claims that this threat would occur during “First Amendment-protected protests” has a massive credibility problem because there have been no protests in D.C.
