The Morning Report 12/29/21

Good morning, kids. Wednesday, and the passing of legendary NFL coach and sports commentator John Madden is noted not only to honor the man who was the voice of the sport in its golden age but, considering the downfall of that sport in the past decade, as a powerful metaphor for the downfall of our nation, society and culture. Also noted is the passing of former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, much like the passing of a peanut M&M-sized barbed kidney stone through the inflamed, diseased urinary tract of our now zombified body politic. The contrast between these two individuals who, to me, represent the best and worst that this nation can offer, cannot be more stark. RIP and Godspeed to coach Madden and a swift journey across the River Styx to Harry Reid.

Meanwhile, as the final days of this accursed year slip away and herald the start of what no doubt will be a third accursed year, the battle lines are becoming clearer. Over in Europe, the lockdowns over what is in fact essentially nothing more serious than the common cold or seasonal flu, have been reinstated and are even more repressive than the initial go rounds. And the citizenry are taking to the streets. Over on this side of the pond, there seem to be mixed signals from the tyrants and criminals that have destroyed our economy and driven a pretty sizable percentage of the citizenry insane with Chinese COVID mania. Unlike the latter, the majority are sick of this and want to get back to some semblance of normalcy. Sensing this, the junta has been signaling that it wants to move on, not so much for the sake of normalcy but because the continued lockdowns, vaccine passports and all the rest of it are turning into a drag on their already shaky political prospects heading into the midterms. But, in ginning up the fear, they have created a monster.

Not everyone is pleased with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Monday decision to relax the quarantine and isolation requirements for people who catch [Chinese] COVID-19.

The agency announced that individuals who test positive for [Chinese] COVID-19 now only need to isolate themselves for five days, not ten, before returning to normal activities while wearing a mask for five more days. The move was welcomed by some, including organizations like the NFL, which are updating their own testing and isolation protocols as a result.

For others, the shift in policy represented the Biden [junta] caving in to big business. . . 

. . . “So we find out that Delta CEO Ed Bastian asked the CDC to reduce the recommended quarantine time from 10 days to 5 for vaccinated people because of workforce impact,” wrote former Democratic Congressional candidate Russell Foster. “This change has nothing to do with the virus or your health & everything to do with the profits of corporations. . . “

. . . Others went as far as to suggest that Biden’s CDC was going to get people killed. That group includes former Hillary Clinton adviser Peter Daou, who asked “WHAT IN THE ACTUAL F*CK IS THIS?”

The “actual fuck,” Peter, is your boss’ husband’s slogan “it’s the economy, stupid” biting this evil junta in half. Even if the Klain/Kalorama Klown Komintern expanded the drilling, fracking, digging and extraction of every last drop of oil, gas and coal across the country, the lockdowns and insistence on injecting every man, woman and child (except the tens of millions of illegal aliens already here and soon to arrive) with the Fauci Fix have all but wiped out much of the private sector; specifically, small business which traditionally constitutes the lion’s share of our comatose economy. Imagine what would happen to it if the musings of the midget Mengele-wannabe about vaccine mandates for domestic air travel actually come to pass.

Even staunch lefty Ned Lamont up in Connecticut is stating out loud what we have all known since the very beginning vis a vis the efficacy of mask mandates. That is, they’re as effective in stopping transmission of this virus as a chainlink fence is in keeping you protected from mosquitos. Joey Softserve himself admitted there was “no federal solution” to the Chinese COVID crisis — which his handlers quickly backtracked on without necessarily stating that it was merely the ravings of a wilting petunia that somehow escaped its pot. 

But that said, all these mixed signals make it difficult to read just what the hell the next moves are. Will we go back to even some semblance of normalcy or are the Karen-driven fear brigades to be a permanent fixture of the landscape? One thing’s for sure, mail-in voting and all the other banana republic bullshit that gives Democrats permanent control of the electoral process is not only not going to be reversed but is sure to be ramped up to the max, especially as 2022 and 2024 draw closer.

We cannot know the future and for sure there are events that are going to rock our world. And there are events that are going to rock the globalists’ world as well. As John Madden might say, “boom!”

  • Hat tip to Jay Guevara: “This is not a ‘fuck SF’ post. This is a lament of what has been lost, and a wistfulness for what could have been. A year ago I was smirking at the people moving out of the Bay Area. I thought these were fairweather citizens, silly for moving to political train-wrecks like Texas or Florida. Twelve months on, my wife and I find ourselves packing our life into boxes. Not to run towards a place where we feel greater love, but just to leave. The pendulum has swung hard in the last twelve months.” The American Dream is on Life Support in the Bay Area

ACTUAL SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY 

  • “This announcement likely signals that China is getting ready to launch the next module to that station. During that launch the large core stage of the Long March 5B rocket will reach orbit, but only for a few days. It will then crash uncontrolled somewhere on Earth. The Chinese government knows it is going to get a lot of bad press because of this fact, and is likely making this complaint to try to excuse its own bad actions.” China Attacks SpaceX Claiming Starlink Satellites Threaten its Space Station
  • “In fact, this is beginning to look like the situation in Hawaii with the Thirty Meter Telescope. There protesters blocked the start of construction, and the government, controlled by Democrats, worked with those protesters to step by step keep that obstruction active and working. If so, SpaceX faces a very dangerous situation, as it appears the Biden administration is about to do the same thing to it.” FAA Delays Final Approval of Starship Environmental Reassessment Until February 28th
