The Morning Report 4/2/20

Good morning, kids. Why bother saying what day it is? It’s simply another grim milestone: the next day, in which we are stuck in a surrealistic limbo as we watch our lives ruined, our economy put into a coma, and our enemies foreign and domestic salivating at the prospect of seizing power – all because of a virus. Yes, it is highly contagious, yes there is no vaccine for it (yet), and yes it has killed several thousand people. But after four years of a press aiding and abetting an attempted coup to overthrow a duly elected president and exposed as liars, (after decades of lies to advance the Leftist cause) and government bureaucracies charged with protecting our national security and safety in on the plot, you’ll have to excuse my reticence in believing a damn thing they’re telling me. Horrible as it is that people are dying, the way this is being portrayed still does not jibe when you dive into all the numbers. But for argument’s sake, let’s say I’m wrong. Let’s say that in fact tens of thousands actually do – God forbid – die of the Shy Knees Affliction, could you blame me for being skeptical? 

In any case, I still maintain that we are cutting off our legs with a rusty hacksaw in order to cure a case of pink eye. Rush Limbaugh has the numbers to chew on to put this in context. In the first three months of this year, here is a list of worldwide deaths:

Coronavirus, 21,000 deaths.

Seasonal flu, 113,000.
Malaria, 228,000.
Suicide, 249,000.
Traffic fatalities, 313, almost 314,000 deaths.
HIV/AIDS, 391,000 deaths.
Alcohol related deaths, 581,000.
Smoking-related deaths, 1,162,000.
Cancer deaths, 1,909,000 deaths.
Deaths attributed to starvation, 2,382,000 deaths.
And death by abortion, 9,900,000.

Remember that the world’s population is 7.8 billion. 7,800,000,000. Limbaugh also makes the salient point, to counter the Left’s disgusting hypocrisy that all we care about is money and not human life, that they are willfully ignorant of the amount of money, public/taxpayer and private (including charitable donations in the millions from evil one-per-centers and corporations), time and resources allocated to try and prevent all of the above. We don’t just say to hell with it and accept it. If we did, you could multiply those numbers easily by at least 100. But life goes on. And that means work. No not jut for the sake of work or “greed” as the Sandersnistas will spout at you. You cannot have life if you do not have economic activity. Period. In a free society, work gives us something beyond merely money. It gives us a purpose. Even working the most menial, unfulfilling job still means one has the sense of responsibility and pride in being able to provide for himself and his family and not rely on others for his sustenance. By others, I mean the government. Now you understand the socialist Donkey Chompers hatred of free market capitalism.

And that’s why it’s kind of hard to swallow the line that the cure for what ails us is destroying our economy and surrendering our freedoms to the State. Of course, only temporarily. Nudge-nudge-wink-wink.

Anyway, let’s dive into the links.


CHINESE CORONAVIRUS, FICTIONS AND FACTS

Roll up your sleeves for a 20 cc shot of kosher goodness chock full ‘o Joo-cooties! Seriously, an Israeli team with a tantalizing announcement of a vaccine coming very soon, VP Pence talking early June when we’ll have the worst behind us, if only Malig-Nancy Pelosi read Trump’s SOTU, or bothered listening, she’d know that that was when he told the world about the Chi-Com Lung AIDS, but Nancy being who she is lies, one more study indicates that the projections are too high, Dr. Oz along with many area doctors seeing massive anecdotal results, tell Nipsy Cuomo to allow the anti-malaria drugs to be used, Daniel Greenfield highlights the litany of leftist priorities that made New York State the disease’s hotspot (tidbit: contact with the police is a health hazard), now that Gretchen Witless Whitmer has put herself on top of Joe Biden’s VP list, she suddenly backtracks and now wants chloroquine for Michigan, Biden thinks Trump should call Obama; good idea as Obama is the shit-Midas gold standard for what not to do in any given situation. Also, Disney pitches in with masks and the Other McCain on rural areas just as vulnerable as cities.

ECONOMIC IMPACT OF THE LUNG MARCH 

Cocaine Mitch sez more stimulus is a non-starter (at least for now), Ben Domenech on uncertainty about the economy being a time bomb, dissecting the pork from the last bill, how the Dems plan on using this Wu Nu Deal to seize power and sink America, details on IRA access during the crisis, punishing tyrannical state governments for their overreach, and the shutdown will only enable more corporate consolidations into fewer and bigger entities.

POLITICS, 2020 ELECTION

Biden sniffs out Whitmer and set to finger her for the veep slot, what if the Dems cancel the convention, several links on Biden including former CIA director Gates pointing out his 40-year record of being dead wrong on every foreign policy issue, his seemingly clueless embrace of anti-Israel animus of his party and the media, dark money group pimps anti-Trump virus propaganda, black voters are not happy about the shutdown and losing the jobs Trump created, and the virus has turned America from a nation of John Waynes to a nation of Felix Ungers. Basta cosi.

CLINTON/OBAMA COUP, CONGRESSIONAL PERSECUTION, SPYGATE, DEEP STATE, MUELLER DECEPTION, SHAMPEACHMENT

Bring it on, Pencil Neck. The Dow can go to negative numbers and another round of Shampeachment will give Trump not only a landslide, but a call to repeal the 22nd Amendment.

DEMOCRAT-LEFTIST SCANDALS, CRIMES, CHUTZ-POCRISY, MESHUGAS

Bro-Fo sings KEEEEEELing You Softly h8trz!

AMNESTY, IMMIGRATION, BORDER CRISIS, BORDER SECURITY

Another election year winning position by Biden or his handlers, anyway. Also, Tu-Ca rips DHS Chief Chad Wolf over visa nonsense while Americans are shut down and shut out, we need to expel every non-immigrant Chinese citizen and shut them out completely, and this is another reason why I love this President. Plain truth spoken plainly.

FIRST AMENDMENT, CENSORSHIP, FAKE NEWS, MEDIA, BIG BROTHER BIG TECH 

Governor Abbott deems religious services essential, Jonathan Karl with blue-on-blue action against Jm J Acosta, Mike Lindell rips into the media, OANN reporter banned from White House press briefings by WHCA for supposedly violating 6-foot rule. Funny, I don’t see anyone wearing facemasks. Also, Slimes once again slimes Christians, Pastor plans massive Easter outdoor service, another fake news story, a retort to Chris Cilizza’s t-shirt, and how the crisis will change our views on innovation, privacy, and nature.

SECOND AMENDMENT

As Dems use the fog of the virus to disarm us, March was a huge gun sales month and Massachusetts shuts gun stores after declaring them essential.

ABORTION

Rabbi Fischer draws some parallels.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS, INTERNATIONAL

China lied and people died, China lied and the world got wide-eyed, Japanese official rips the Peking (rhymes with) ducks, an essay warning that they Chi-Coms might start a shooting war, Rouhani does his Chip Diller/Baghdad Bob impersonation as Iran crumbles from within, Trump warns about a Farsi attack, and don’t say Shy Knees Flu in Turkmenistan. 

DOMESTIC AFFAIRS, THE BUREAUCRACY, WASTE, FRAUD, ABUSE

Government stands in the way of every damn thing. Kill the bureaucracy.

THE ECONOMY, STUPID

If the economy could talk, it would sound like Sonny Wortzik (“we’re dying out here”), great essay on the utter cluelessness of the Dems on what economics is all about as I highlighted in my editorial, and we must repatriate our industry and punish corporatists who continue to sell us out to the Chi-Coms.

CRIME & PUNISHMENT, NON-DOSTOYEVSKY

Trump and team still guarding the border, Orwellian incidents in VA and FL, and Brooklyn schmuck gets pinched for incredibly stupid, selfish behavior. Dude, if you’re going to spit on an FBI agent, could you at least try for James Comey?

HEALTHCARE

Deduct all costs from what we owe the PRC, another example of cure worse than the disease itself, and yet another example of how Democrats are nothing like their propaganda.

EDUCATION, INDOCTRINATION

The further dumbing down of California.

RED-GREENS, CLIMATE CHANGE HOAX, JUNK SCIENCE, LYSENKOISM

Obama desperate to have something of his legacy preserved. Well, if the economy continues to be forcibly held under water, he’ll have his economy back.

ACTUAL SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY

Our intrepid science reporter on the latest Space-X Starship.

CULTURE WARS, HITHER & YON

Christian Toto on Hollywood’s beaten-to-death Trump/Hitler schtick, oh the humanity!, Americans return to prayer during these troubling times, a warning about the seizing of power under cover of Chi-Com Pulmonary Gleet, and let’s hope the last essay is true. It better be.
