I wrote this 2 years ago and it’s still true today:

On bits blog the other day I showed video of an argument between Rand Paul and Anthony Fauci about whether or not the Wuhan lab was doing Gain of function research.

Mind you, I think Anthony Fauci is a liar and is desperately scrambling to cover his own backside. Apparently Rand Paul thinks so as well.

And understand also that Anthony fauci will continue to get protection from the Democrats in Congress. That’s simply the way it’s done, unless and until he becomes too big and embarrassment for the Democrats at which point he will become another Andrew Cuomo, Jim trafficant, or Gary Hart. Or or perhaps Vince Foster.

Be that as it may the issue that is now hiding in plain sight is that covid-19 is the direct result of research conducted by the CDC and the NIH in China in a lab run by the Chinese communists, and paid for with your tax dollars.

Just sit back and let that sink in for a minute.

Let me focus your attention a bit further. Remember we have on video Anthony Fauci, 2 days after the election of Donald Trump suggesting that Trump would be facing a pandemic. Now how would he know that?

It’s difficult if not impossible to avoid the conclusion that covid-19 was released as a political weapon of last resort, a release which was long planned.

The subject of time came up elsewhere this morning. I thought I’d share this here

I keep coming back to Rush doing “time stand still”

We human beings don’t have much of a Time sense really. Some of us are better than others that counting minutes but years seem to slip by before we notice. There’s a reason for that lack of time sense. It’s that when our species was created, time wasn’t supposed to have any meaning for us.

If you think I’m exaggerating I would urge you to go back and look through the first few chapters in Genesis and you will find after careful reading that out mortality as a species wasn’t even alluded to, until after the fall, and then only in response to it.

Ever since then our lives on this Earth have been finite.

So it is that our lives tend to pass faster than we think, faster than we are aware, and certainly faster than we would like.

As Glen Campbell road back in 1968 or 69, man comes here against his will, and goes away disappointed

Be careful that you don’t ask the government to be charitable.

Government is not charity, government is force. Charity is the act of the individual. Your taxes do not cover the need for charity.

Remember Christ himself said give unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s and unto God that which is God’s.

If you want more charitable world… and I agree we should be working toward that goal, then stop demanding your government to your charity for you.

It’s your responsibility.

I’ve made no secret of my support for Donald Trump. That said, I am celebrating Jack Smith and his indictment of Donald Trump.

(I know, I know, “Wait. What?”)

Jack Smith is a partisan idiot. There’s no arguing that point anymore. His
previous record speaks for itself. In so much of a hurry was Jack Smith
to get this thing on the books that he failed to consider what’s going
to happen in the resulting trial.

I’ve read the indictment. I’m probably one of the few people who have. I’m not a lawyer, but a couple of things stick out to even this layman’s eye.

Follow me on this, now.

Dershowitz commented on this the other day, and he’s absolutely right. Jack Smith in his indictment doctored the post inauguration speech by Donald Trump, omitting the part where Trump asked his supporters to protest patriotically and peacefully.

That doctored speech was what was presented to the grand jury. Absent that deceitful editing, it’s doubtful they would even gotten an indictment. Truly, that’s going to come out at the trial, and particularly in the discovery phase.

Past that, the whole indictment hinges on Trump’s belief (along with half of the rest of America) that Joe Biden and the Democrats stole the election. All Trump and his team have to do is prove that he honestly believed what he told people. Proving that he did not believe it is at the very least a monumental task, that I believe is beyond any of Trump’s opponents, for many reasons.

Among them, Donald Trump’s lawyers are going to be able, as a part of the discovery process in the trial, to open up all the questions that Trump raised about vote fraud etc. Not just singly, but in each and every instance. And there’s plenty of evidence which continues to come out, even to this day about that fraud, despite the many efforts of the Democrats and their minions in the press to cover it up.

All it’s going to take is reasonable doubt in one of those instances for

the entire house of cards to fall over… and when that happens it will be

devastating to the Democrat party.

Donald Trump will be exonerated once again, and the Democrats will be exposed as the liars and thieves that they have always been. The election of Joe Biden will be labeled a fraud. Not just in opinion, but in Court established fact.

And personally I can’t wait.

(Sounds of popcorn popping)

Here it is gang, in black and white, the biggest problem with the Democrats have just now:


Polling continues to show that former President Donald Trump convinced a large portion of Republican voters that President Joe Biden’s 2020 win was illegitimate
Actually, that’s not quite correct. Trump didn’t convince anybody of that. They knew before he even opened his mouth on the subject. The actions of the democrats, then to now, has done nothing to change that perception.

Indeed, those actions have been marvelously successful at reinforcing that perception, up to and including Jack Smith.

In a single line, the Democrats biggest problem right now is that the American people simply don’t trust them.

You know the more this happens the more I’m convinced that groups seeking to disarm the American public are like any criminal simply seeking to give themselves the advantage.

+The problem with the left these days is their inexplicable and totally misguided belief that the only place they can possibly see moral superiority is in the mirror. Of itself this is amazing. Wasn’t it just a few short years ago that we were being told in morality didn’t matter? I guess the old house needs to be torn down before you can build a new one.

+ You can have freedom or you can have a government big enough to buy your loyalty with free stuff. It is literally impossible to have both.

+ Primary defeat in Wyoming for the establishment critter Liz Cheney. I really don’t have any comments on that other than what I’ve already said but it feels just so very good to say it.

+ The church of Saint Greta of climate change is claiming that the Canadian wildfires we’ve all been suffering from are of course the result of climate change. Meantime the mainstream media who has always been in the pocket of the left is doing its best to spike any stories about the number of arrests in Canada on arson charges as regards those wildfires. Those wildfires may have caused a bump in the temperature, but the fires were man-made….

+As regards those wildfires, a couple of points become fairly clear. First, all of it showing up at once suggests not only arson but a coordinated effort… But imagine with me if you will the position that the church of Saint Greta is now in. It’s a little difficult to argue against the use of fossil fuels, when one wildfire event like this puts more CO2 into the atmosphere then all of the fossil fuels that we will burn for the next 30 years will produce. Even if we were to eliminate fossil fuels completely today, right now, those games in the supposed CO2 targets would be completely wiped out by one day of those wildfires. And that assumes that CO2 is a pollutant, which it is not.

The defenders of socialism are constantly asking me to define both socialism and capitalism. I believe the best answer is for the questioner to consider whether they’d be happier living in South Korea or North Korea. Or perhaps asking them to research the period in Germany when the Berlin Wall came down, and note which direction people ran. Ask them how often they see people using 1950s automobiles and whatever scrap wood they can lay their hands on, to float the 90 miles from Florida to Cuba. The defenders of socialism tender wander off into the weeds at that point.

The common complaints these days is that years ago we used to be able to afford to buy a house, and a car, and send kids to college, and have a vacation every year, all on a single income.

In the common question is what happened to that? Why can’t we do that anymore? That’s a good question too.

The answer is: government is why we can’t do that anymore.

Government and its financial demands have grown to the point where when considered at all levels of government, as in local, state, Federal, most Americans see on the order of 60 to 65% of their income going to taxation.

Now, let’s add to that hidden taxes.
The constant cry of “let’s tax businesses more” … Simply means that you never see the real prices for the goods that you buy because businesses are passing on the taxes that they pay to the consumer in other words you and i.

Do you think we’d be able to afford a house a car and a couple of kids going to college without all of that? We used to, you know.

So now we have supposed feminists dressing up in pink and lining up outside movie theaters to support the “Barbie movie” .

It seems a little ironic to me, because I’m old enough to remember when feminists were crapping all over Mattel and Barbie dolls and everything to do with them because they claimed girls were getting “unrealistic ideas about body shape” from them.

Of course I hasten to point out, that the feminists of that time who were making those noises, mostly bore a remarkable resemblance to Lizzo.

And just to add a little confusion to all of this, or perhaps more correctly simply observe it ….I note with some amusement that the afore -mentioned, and gloriously rotund Lizzo was reported as fat shaming one of her staff at a staff meeting recently.

Scott Jennings isn’t buying the line from the White House anymore. You shouldn’t either and for more than the reasons he lists here.

+ Perhaps it’s just me, but do you find it odd, that both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama had personal chefs who drowned?

+ Do we have to wait 40 years before we finally conclude that the annual prediction of the end of the world in 5 years if we don’t do such and such was all made up nonsense?

+ Observe the above picture. Should we be telling the people celebrating that UPS and their Union have come to an agreement, is that all four of the companies represented here are history, dead and gone, following their Union agreements?

+Why did Democrats wait for Trump to run for president before indicting him?

+ So you can afford to strike, but you can’t afford to work for the wages that you were getting?

+So let’s understand this. The big government types among Us say that despite the evidence of our own American revolution, a militia will never managed to overthrow the American government and therefore they shouldn’t try. So why are they saying that January 6th was an insurrection when all they did was walk into a building unarmed?

+ How does a crack addict set up 17 different shell companies without daddy’s & family help?

+Explain to me how Hollywood going on strike indefinitely is not the best thing to happen to America in a long time.

It used to be this way back in the ’70s, you know. Then they elected Giuliani and he cleaned the mess up. It’s been Democrat after Democrat since, and guess what? The problem is back.

Before you Chow down on that abomination maybe you seriously about some of the ingredients in it:

Tertiary butylhydroquinone. TBHQ is a synthetic preservative that prevents discoloration in processed foods. The FDA limits the amount of TBHQ allowed in foods because studies of laboratory animals has found an association with TBHQ and cancer.
Magnesium carbonate. Remember when some bread was accused of having a yoga mat chemical? Well, magnesium carbonate, used in foods to retain color, is also used in flooring, fireproofing, and fire-extinguishing compounds.

Erythosine (Red #3). Red #3 is an artificial food coloring. The FDA banned the use of Red #3 in products such as cosmetics in 1990 after high doses of the substance were linked to cancer. But it can still be used in foods like fake meat.

Propylene glycol. Propylene glycol is an odorless, colorless liquid used as a moisturizer. It’s also used as a liquid in e-cigarettes and is the primary ingredient in antifreeze.

Ferric orthophosphate. Also called iron phosphate, this chemical is used to fortify foods. It can also be used as a pesticide to kill slugs and snails. While generally considered safe (for people) in food in small quantities, it can be a skin and eye irritant and may cause an upset stomach.

Bon appetit.

You’ll see it on social media all day long. People telling us that we are currently experiencing the hottest temperatures the Earth has ever seen. Well first of all, that’s not true.

But as usual, we’re being told that the whole thing is our fault, r suvs, our use of electricity, fossil fuels etc.

But that’s not true either.

When you see this kind of panic inducing “reporting” it’s usually a good idea to ask what they’re not telling you.

We are in the midst of a very active sunspot cycle. In other words the sun is throwing a temper tantrum that it does about every 11 years. Some sunspot cycles are worse than others. This one happens to be very active indeed. That hyperactivity is been predicted for the last couple of cycles. It’s here now and people are starting to take advantage of it.

As an amateur radio operator I am quite observant of what the sun is doing because it affects my hobby. Some truly amazing radio contacts can happen when the sun is active as it is right now.

It also has a tendency to misdirect very tightly beamed satellite signals, such as GPS signals. The other day I was parked on a dock in New York City and my GPS dutifully informed me that I was parked in the middle of a lake in Virginia.

The sun, being very active

You can even see the effects of this radiation if you live in the Northern hemisphere. Some people call them the northern lights. Or, if you like, aurora borealis.

But what also happens is it throws off more heat. And we are being told at this point not to pay any attention to any of that.(pay no attention to that man behind the curtain over there.)

I mean come on, seriously?

We’re supposed to believe that the biggest, hottest thing in the solar system, what is responsible more than any other physical Factor for our very existence because of the heat that it gives us (and light), has no effect on things here on Earth? That the variations we observe on the Sun aren’t going to cause variations here on earth?

You do know that they’ve found evidence of global warming on Mars, and on the moon… Must be all the SUVs they’re driving up there.

The other rule about frantic reporting like this, is follow the money. Who is it that’s benefiting from panic related to the subject at hand?

I’ll leave that to you. But a place to start would be reports the other day that China is planning on manufacturing, and exporting cheap electric vehicles. To say nothing of their being a major supplier of solar panels, and the entity that is in control of the vast majority of lithium in the world today.

Oh, the press will tell you that x-country has this much and x-country has that much, but who has contractual control over the lithium in those countries? China.

Yes my friends, as the saying goes, they’re making hay while the sun shines, a little brighter than usual.
