HALF-FULL REPORT 03/06/20

full-retardI’ll get this over with quickly.  I have had it up to my eyeballs with the Coronavirus Scare.  Clear-thinking wags are calling it A Pandemic of Stupidity.

The third most-popular imported beer in the US is Corona (after Guinness and Heineken).  A survey was just taken showing 38% of beer-drinking Americans across the country now refuse to drink Corona beer.  Corona beer = Corona virus, evidently.  That’s retarded.

Those Corona drinkers afraid to drink their beer have got be Democrats.  Trump-supporters never go Full Retard.  Hilariously full Dem retardation was on glorious display on Super Tuesday (3/03).  They now have a choice between two near-octogenarian white guys – Bernie the Bolshevik millionaire, and Dementia Joe, whose gargantuan corruption is on a par with his gaffe-tastic senility.

Which brings us to the apotheosis of Going Full Retard when, at a Pro-Abortion Rally in front of the Supreme Court on Wednesday (3/04), Dem Senator Chuckie Schumer actually physically threatened two Supreme Court Justices, Neil Gorsuch and Bret Kavanaugh.

READY TO POUNCE

All photos by Jack Wheeler ready-to-pounce

You’ve never had a more restful night’s sleep, being serenaded into dreamland by the soft grunting of a family of hippos in the lily-strewn pond beneath your luxury chalet.

You awake at dawn to the coughing of a pride of lions in the near distance.  Time to go on safari to track that pride while they’re on the hunt.

Your native tracker finds them quickly.  The pride pays no attention to you as you follow them.

THE MEDIA’S FEAR VIRUS IS THE REAL DANGER NOT THE CORONAVIRUS

democrat-control-sprays-fear [This bulletin is for TTPers to copy and send to friends, co-workers, and loved ones who may be in a state of panic over the media’s latest scare story.]

I’d like to suggest considering the latest bulletin on Covid-19 from the New England Journal of Medicine:

https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMe2002387?query=RP

“On the basis of a case definition requiring a diagnosis of pneumonia, the currently reported case fatality rate is approximately 2%.4 In another article in the Journal, Guan et al.5 report mortality of 1.4% among 1099 patients with laboratory-confirmed Covid-19; these patients had a wide spectrum of disease severity.

 

If one assumes that the number of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic cases is several times as high as the number of reported cases, the case fatality rate may be considerably less than 1%. This suggests that the overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza (which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%).”

Almost all deaths attributed to Covid-19 are quite elderly, in their 70s and 80s/90s and/or with compromised immune systems.  There are no deaths reported among the young, i.e., under 15 years old.

POTUS WILL ASK BURISMA BIDEN WHAT HIS DEBATE OPPONENTS WERE AFRAID TO

real-biden-scandalPresident Trump has promised to make the media and Democrats rue the fact that Joe Biden’s corruption in Ukraine has been placed off limits.

The president phoned in to Sean Hannity’s Fox News program last night (3/04), just 24 hours after Biden’s return from the dead. While much can still happen to once again alter everyone’s expectations, the former vice president is now seen as the clear frontrunner to win the 2020 Democrat presidential nomination.

Biden’s Burisma-gate stinks to high heaven, and Trump knows it. He also knows the media and the Democrat establishment have so far made the topic verboten during the primary process and that this is an opportunity for him.

You don’t need to watch the whole 40-minute POTUS-Hannity interview, just for two minutes at 5:55, when Hannity asks him about the Biden-Burisma corruption issue and how the media and all of Biden’s Dem opponents pretend it doesn’t exist.  The transcript of the President remarks follows.

BIDEN’S BIG NIGHT DOESN’T SOLVE DEMS’ BERNIE PROBLEM

whos-leftWith a sweep of the south and key victories in Minnesota and Massachusetts, the media narrative today (3/04) is all about how Joe Biden is the comeback kid, back from the dead, risen like a Phoenix from the ashes. That sort of thing.

It’s the kind of story the media loves. They love it so much it doesn’t matter whether it’s true, or whether the media was writing Biden off less than a week ago.

The surprise comeback, vindicated frontrunner narrative is going to be pushed so hard by the mainstream press and the Democrat establishment in the coming days, you’ll think Biden’s nomination is pretty much a done deal.

What the headlines and the narrative won’t tell you is what any casual survey of the Democrat primary map plainly shows: Super Tuesday didn’t solve the Democrat Party’s Bernie Sanders problem.

ARE THE DEMS HANDING CALIFORNIA TO TRUMP?

gig-lawA win in California would be an electoral wipeout for Democrats in 2020. Is it possible?

The last time a Republican won the state was back in 1988 when Bush walloped Dukakis, but it was by a razor-thin margin. Given the Golden State’s deeply entrenched Democrat bastions, is it even possible that this state is in play?

I mean what could cause Democrats to cross the aisle here. What could state Democrats possibly due to create a pathway for a hated man like Trump to a run to flip the state? Oh, could it be their nonsensical freelance law—AB5—that has reaped havoc on the state?

Yep. The Democrat Party has received a face-full of buckshot over this bill. Here’s the story.

A FAMOUS CORONAVIRUS PATHOLOGIST EXPLAINS WHAT TO DO

trump-tweet-on-coronavirus-helpWhen I was a professor of pathology at the University of California San Diego, I was one of the first molecular virologists in the world to work on coronaviruses (the 1970s). I was the first to demonstrate the number of genes the virus contained.

Since then, I have kept up with the coronavirus field and its multiple clinical transfers into the human population (e.g., SARS, MERS), from different animal sources.

The current projections for its expansion in the US are only probable, due to continued insufficient worldwide data.  This advice applies to you if you live in or travel to an infected area, or if the expansion becomes sufficiently widespread throughout the US.

Here is what I have done and the precautions that I take and will take. These are the same precautions I currently use during our influenza seasons, except for the mask and gloves:

HALF-FULL REPORT 02/28/20

trump-tweets-022820These are the POTUS tweets this morning (2/28).  TTPers got a heads-up on Tuesday (2/25) with The Left’s Hoax of Paranoia.

Since then, it becomes more obvious by the day that the Leftist “Mainstream” Media is far more dangerous to humanity than this latest flu virus.  And it is more than that.  The current crisis is making it frighteningly clear how we are in a true Manichean struggle between Light and Dark, moral decency and moral evil.

WHY ARE THE DEMOCRATS ON THE SIDE OF THE CORONAVIRUS?

coronavirus-strategyThe Democrat leaders and candidates blasted President Trump’s response to the Coronavirus outbreak, just as they blast everything else that he does.

Note that the Dems’ criticism of Trump’s response to the virus is unaccompanied by any specific suggestions. They do suggest spending more money on the problem, though they don’t say how. Maybe they think they can curry favor with the virus by buying it free stuff.

Their demand for more money is not because they’ve talked to medical and other experts and done the math. They don’t even bother to say that they have. No, it’s because they want to be able to say down the road that the contagion grew into a deadly pandemic because Trump messed up.

For that posturing to work, of course, the virus has to grow into a deadly pandemic.  That’s what they want.

IT’S BLOOMBERG AND ALL DEMOCRAT ELITISTS WHO NEED REAL GRAY MATTER

Nanny Bloomberg
Nanny Bloomberg

Former New York mayor and multibillionaire Democrat presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg, four years ago at Oxford, England, dismissed farming, ancient and modern.

He lectured that agriculture was little more than the rote labor of dropping seeds into the ground and watching corn sprout — easy, mindless, automatic.

“I could teach anybody,” Bloomberg pontificated, “even people in this room, no offense intended, to be a farmer.”

He contrasted such supposedly unintelligent labor of the past (and present) with the “skill set” of the current “information economy” that requires “how to think and analyze.” In this new economy, he said, “you have to have a lot more gray matter.”

Gray matter?  It’s him and all Dem elitists who need more of that.

THE DEMOCRAT CAGE FIGHT WITH NO REFEREE

dem-cage-fightWho could have imagined that the debate in Charleston on Tuesday (2/25) would be worse than the previous one, the one in Vegas during which Elizabeth Warren went after Bloomberg with a scythe, Bernie did his wild-eyed crazed thing, and Biden fell flat?

The most appalling aspect of the debate was the sheer childishness of it.

They all talked at once, raising and waving their hands to be called on like second-graders, shouting over one another as if they were guests on the Jerry Springer show.  It was pathetic.

Anyone and everyone watching had to ask themselves, "How on Earth are these seven people the presidential candidates of the Democrat party?"

RUSSIA’S TRAIN RIDE TO RUIN

train-ride-to-ruinGiven Russia’s lack of a developed highway system, and its increasing difficulties with the use of rivers for transport (Ritmeurasia.org, October 22, 2019), Moscow not only relies more heavily on the country’s long-haul railway network but counts on it to allow Russia to play a key role in trade between China and Europe.

However, because of Moscow’s failure to invest in the maintenance and development of that network, Beijing is increasingly skeptical that Russia can be such a land route. Consequently, China is looking to send its goods either by sea or by routes that bypass the Russian Federation entirely.

So what might seem to be a domestic problem is rapidly becoming an international one for Moscow.  You would not believe how big a problem.

CANADA IS A DEAD COUNTRY WALKING

Which one is the Prime Minister of Canada?
Which one is the Prime Minister of Canada?

Canada is presently in the throes of social and political disintegration.

A left-leaning electorate has once again empowered a socialist government promoting all the lunatic ideological shibboleths of the day: global warming or “climate change,” radical feminism, indigenous sovereignty, expansionary government, environmental strangulation of energy production, and the presumed efficiency of totalitarian legislation.

Industry and manufacturing are abandoning the country in droves and heading south.

Canada is now reaping the whirlwind. The Red-Green Axis consisting of social justice warriors, hereditary band chiefs, renewable energy cronies, cultural Marxists, and their political and media enablers have effectively shut down the country.
