  1. Johns Hopkins Study Saying COVID-19 Has ‘Relatively No Effect on Deaths’ in U.S. Spiked After Publication https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/matt-margolis/2020/11/27/johns-hopkins-study-saying-covid-19-has-relatively-no-effect-on-deaths-in-u-s-deleted-after-publication-n1178930 This is what happens when an honest researcher objectively looks at the data. We’ve seen it before many times with climate science, now expect the same with Wuhan Flu.

    1. We’ve seen it before many times with climate science, now expect the same with Wuhan Flu.

      Oh, so we’ll be hearing Builder Barbie braying about how we have a “virus crisis” in this country?

        1. Nah, they’ll soon suggest you use three ply toilet paper as a mask then reuse it elsewhere.

          Of course Justin might get the order reversed

  2. https://newrepublic.com/article/160338/biden-popular-front-doomed-unravel

    This is a good article from The New Republic, a progressive magazine, on the tensions within the US Democratic Party that would become apparent in a Biden presidency. (“They are the party of the 1 percent. They are also the party of expropriating the 1 percent.’)

    Quite apart from that issue, the article reveals some striking truths about Trump’s presidency that have been suppressed by the mainstream media and their social media accomplices.

    On Trump’s economic performance:

    “Trump set himself against the 1 percent at a time when donor-dependent politicians (including virtually all of them in the Republican Party) were unable even to consider that the country might have a problem with inequality. And Trump did so credibly. He didn’t just oppose the 1 percent, he made them sick.

    Trump didn’t sell out his supporters. In fact, his presidency saw something extraordinary, even if it was all but invisible from the country’s globalized cities: the first egalitarian boom since well back into the twentieth century. In 2019, the last non-Covid year, he presided over an average 3.7 percent unemployment rate and 4.7 percent wage growth among the lowest quartile of earners. All income brackets increased their take. That had happened in the last three Obama years, too. The difference is that in the Obama part of the boom, the income of the top decile rose by 20 percent, with tiny gains for other groups. In the Trump economy, the distribution was different. Net worth of the top 10 percent rose only marginally, while that of all other groups vaulted ahead. In 2019, the share of overall earnings going to the bottom 90 percent of earners rose for the first time in a decade.”

    On his handling of the pandemic:

    “His political problem was not that he mishandled the virus, though he certainly blundered, boasted, and prevaricated. Covid-19 inflicted historic levels of suffering on the United States, but that didn’t make the country an outlier. In the week after Election Day, Americans were dying at a lower daily rate than people in Britain, France, Italy, the Netherlands, and most other European countries. Spaniards were dying at three times the American rate, Belgians at six times.”

  3. Are you a senior and looking for a real good belly laughing show?
    You feel the government is trying to knock you off by your small fixed payment and ever growing bigger expenses?
    Did you enjoy Mrs. Browns Boys?

    This series is one of the funniest shows that I have ever come across. It is called Still Game on Netflix.

  4. And now your Canadians are racist bastards story for today. The Liberal Party’s Toronto Star reports that a black group is ranting that the Order Of Canada is too white.

    1. Order of canada? Oh yes the pin that just about everyone has. Kind of like a participation trophy. Why would any black group think that is of any value.

        1. Venezuela without the weather or the hot women.
          I thank the women voters of Canada.
          Just think, men voters only and we’d never have the equivalent of a dumber Pam Anderson as leader.
          Or free everything but speech.
          Or gun seizures.
          Or more Trudeaus.

          “But we are now the spendiest country in the industrialized world. In a single year our deficit, as a share of the economy, has grown by a factor of 18. “No major economy,” says Scotiabank, “will show a bigger fiscal swing in 2020, according to estimates from the International Monetary Fund.”

          And it’s only started, apparently.
          $ $ $

          Well, here it is. The shiny new (so far) Chrystia deficit number: $381.6 billion (by March). And this does not include another $100 billion in stimulus spending coming after the second wave…”

      1. I remember when Mansbridge interviewd Cleese on TV. . Cleese noticed Mansbridge` lapel pin and asked “what is that pin you have”. ” Oh, it`s the order of Canada pin, ” Really, said Cleese with an ingratiating smile, “where can you get one, how much do they cost ?” The look on Mansbridge` face was a joy to watch.

      2. Except that the really good ones didn’t get this: Dr Margaret Somerville is one, and the Rev Margaret Waterchief is another (though the latter’s Wikipedia bio is somewhat at odds with what she told us).

    2. Well considering it was an invention of the first sock monkey (aka PET) it would be ironic Justice that it be thrown on the bonfire of vanity by the wokerati.

  5. Blacklock reports on a Canadian Senator praising China, and how we are still sending millions in foreign aid to that country.

  6. Here is something you won’t see on Blackie’s CBC. National Post reports on corruption and fraud at the United Nations global warming projects. Also Rex Murphy at the Post writes about the great barbecue scandal again. And here is something you certainly won’t see on the CBC. True North reports on muslim mobs celebrating the Christmas season in Egypt, by attacking a Christian village.

    1. Absolutely James. I will bet my pension that the question was not “are you willing to wait almost a year in further lockdown before you get a vaccine which is available now”. Polling is for fools.

  7. And now another Canadians are racist bastards story for today. The Ontario Human Rights Commission is investigating racism against indians in Lacrosse.

  8. I put this in the “Margin of Fraud” thread as well:

    The hearings about voter fraud in Michigan have taken on a new style.
    Tune in for a look, even for a few moments.

    (1) Rudy G is not there. (2) The witnesses only have 3 minutes to give testimony. (3) They are allowed to provide a written statement (4) not all of them are questioned (5) there is a panel of both Republican AND now Democrat state senators fielding questions.

    The ones that interrupt the witnesses are definitely Dems. Very weird today. Not like Arizona at all.

    1. Sounds like they are working to keep a lid on things. I really think the voter cheating issue needs to be addressed in the Supreme Court. The States are simply looking to protect the status quo.

      1. As I understand it, as per the Constitution, the SCOTUS will send the decision to the House of Representatives if the Court found any irregularities.

        On the basis of a one vote per Representative, the House would then decide between the two choices for President, i.e. President Trump or Citizen Biden.

        I recently read somewhere that, as we speak, Madam Speaker and friends are gathering dirt on everyone to blackmail them into voting the Biden-Harris ticket. Sure sounds like their style.

        Is America doomed?

        1. That’s unlikely to happen, Nancy. Since the House of Reps only comes into play if no candidate wins a majority, then it’s based on vote by state delegation, not as a simple vote. Although I wish they would, the SCOTUS is unlikely to invalidate the results.

          Why don’t we instead just start blasting away at the other guy? Continue the investigation of Biden and his son. Special Prosecutor. I detest Kamala Harris: we should start with her first, she can’t be clean. The Dems are corrupt. Throw as many wrenches into the gears as possible.

          Start now to de-do exactly what the left has tried to do the past four years: de-legitimize the current regime.

    1. Note the resentment towards anyone who claims an exemption. It appears that the masked resent those who aren’t, as if the latter are taking undue advantage of the “sacrifices” of the former.

      I’m reminded of what happened to me during my second undergrad summer I worked at an oil refinery. I worked with the maintenance crews and I was looked down on because I refused to join the union. (The contract stipulated that one would be required to join after being there for six months. I was there for about 4.) One source of irritation was that I was collecting the northern allowance (something like $25/month), to which, under the contract, I was entitled even with my status.

      The hard-core union types whined about “that’s not what we went on strike in winter for” and so on and so forth. In other words, they didn’t like that I was–ahem–entitled to my entitlements. Sorry, mates, but the contract worked both ways. While your union expects the company to comply with it and now you mewl and puke because it happened to work to my benefit?

      I’ll never forget the threat that, had I worked with them the next summer, they would “make sure” I joined the union.

      Can anyone tell me what the difference between what happened to me more than 40 years ago and someone being harangued and harassed nowadays because one refuses to wear a mask by claiming an exemption?

  9. The Road Not Taken
    Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
    And sorry I could not travel both
    And be one traveler, long I stood
    And looked down one as far as I could
    To where it bent in the undergrowth;

    Then took the other, as just as fair,
    And having perhaps the better claim,
    Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
    Though as for that the passing there
    Had worn them really about the same,

    And both that morning equally lay
    In leaves no step had trodden black.
    Oh, I kept the first for another day!
    Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
    I doubted if I should ever come back.

    I shall be telling this with a sigh
    Somewhere ages and ages hence:
    Two roads diverged in a wood, and I –
    I took the one less traveled by,
    And that has made all the difference.

  10. The Liberal Party’s iPolitics website reports that the five hereditary chiefs in B.C. want oil and gas work to be declared non essential.

    1. If that’s the case, how will they be able to drive their brand-new 4 x 4s that Uncle Prinz Dummkopf bought for them with his latest bribe?

    1. Massive facepalm.

      As for the one and only movie that person is known for, I thought it was dreadful.

          1. B-
            Yes! Thanks! You are most kind to post your neatest finds. Please continue sharing, you know how to pick them. I copied the movie to my ’roundtoit’ list and want to enjoy it soon, uninterrupted! I was planning on giving you my opinion about it eventually after seeing it. I peeked at the first few minutes. Looks really zany!

            I’m afraid the hearings in the USA have me captivated lately. I’ve been spending way too much time on this latest distraction. (Luckily my house is in fact tidy!)

            Got some sunshine earlier and at the dinner hour tonight I noticed a rabbit again in the backyard chomping on some twigs. He was a nice distraction!

            Do take care– no slapping, er, rough facepalms!

    2. I am not going to let this ruin the Umbrella Academy. To each his own….bone. She/he is obviously mentally ill so I don’t wish that on anyone. But watchin Ellen in Umbrella Academy its like she has a piece of cardboard under her shirt to hide her tits. Obviously very disturbed. I know its easy to demean but who the fuck really wants to be that fucked up?

      Unless they’re belligerant and then its FU time.

      1. He looked red-eyed and angry!

        Somebody definetly got to him and spoon-fed him about what they wanted to hear in the latest News cycle.

        Frankly, the world was waiting for some action from him and the Americans got nothing. Guy wasn’t worth his salt.

      1. I’m reminded of a joke I once read. It’s been said that politics is like a horse race, except in a horse race, the entire horse wins. (Ta-dum tish!)
