Does anyone seriously believe this Administration is with the people against the communists?
Are we going to see the Biden Administration send the Capital Police to help the Cuban Police contain the protests?
There are reports that the Communist Government is sending plain clothes people door to door to arrest dissidents, I presume the Biden Administration is taking notes.
Perhaps the Cuban government will offer to allow free elections and bring in Dominion machines with Democrat operatives to run them.
Can you imagine what a difference it would be if Trump was in office today?
It’s the wrong question just like it’s the post has the wrong title
What if the 2020 election audits end up revealing that Trump was actually the winner?
The actual question is:
What do we do when the audits prove that Trump was actually the winner of the election.
We need to stop playing this game. If the left thought for one moment that this election was clean and was won fairly they would have been all over themselves to put out audits, the media would be all over themselves to cover them, on Facebook and twitter and Instagram all of the tech platformed would be pushing for this data to be out there and praising the transparency and fairness of these Democrat stongholds. They would revel in their chance to proclaim to the entire country indeed to all the world that not only was the election clean but those who are saying otherwise are liars, fraudsters, grifters.
Instead they have fought tooth and nail to prevent these audits while at the same time saying there is no proof that there was anything untoward. It’s like the cigarette lobby insisting that there was no proof that smoking was dangerous in the 80’s.
The real danger to the left and the establishment isn’t that the audits will show that Trump was the winner. They know this is the case. The danger is that they will establish the methods that the left has been using for years to steal elections on the city state and local level, methods that members of the establishment right were quite willing to allow to happen as long as it didn’t threaten them.
You see once this is all out in the open and people can no longer deny or pretend they don’t know about then they have an excuse for inaction, as illustrated by this exchange between Sir Humphrey & Minister Jim Hacker when he found out about arms going to terrorists.
Sir Humphrey Appleby:So minister may we drop this matter of the arms sales?
Minister Jim Hacker: No we may not. I’m going to tell the Prime Minister personally, make an appointment Bernard. This is the sort of thing the prime minister wants to know about.
Sir Humphrey Appleby:I assure you minister this is the type of thing the Prime Minister desperately doesn’t want to know about
and his explanation to Hacker’s permanent private secretary.
Bernard:So what do we believe in?
Sir Humphrey:At this moment Bernard We believe in stopping the minister from speaking to the Prime Minister.
Bernard:But why?
Sir Humphrey: Because once the Prime Minister knows there will have to be an inquiry, like Watergate. The investigation of a trivial break-in lead to one ghastly revelation after another and finally to the downfall of a president. The golden rule is don’t lift lids off cans of worms.

Once these things are established then the question will become:
What are you going to do about it?
And that’s when the shit hits the fan for a lot of career pols and civil servants whose job is to supposedly prevent this type of fraud:
How many state and local officials owe their positions to fixed elections or to appointments made after same. How many local contracts, local patronage jobs, local, state or even federal contracts worth millions are directed as a result of these things. How many useless relatives, friends, hangers on and incompetents are making a good living from their ability to feed at the public trough whose meals might be disrupted by these things being revealed? And if they are happening in WI, and PA, and GA and AZ the question becomes are they happening elsewhere? How blue are the deep blue states? Do people actually buy all this crap that been shoveled out from them or are they just silent or resigned to what’s going on and in fear of being called names?
This is the real question and it’s bigger when you consider this story about the RNC throwing Trump under the bus while pretending otherwise.
It’s like dealing with an army of Sir Humphrey’s. It’s not about policies , it’s not about what’s best, it’s what can we raise the most money on to feather our nests.
And so the question stands? WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?
Saw this at Don Surber’s site this morning on the assignation of the president of Haiti:
Why do I get the feeling the Clintons and their fake foundation are entangled in this mess?
Maybe it wasn’t an assassination.
Maybe it was Arkancide.
My best friend at work is a 70 year old Hattian man who is a naturalized citizen. When I asked him about the assassination last week he offered a similar opinion on what happened over there.
My first employer out of college was Raytheon and I worked there with secret clearance for three years during the climax of the cold war (until I opened my comic book store). now I’m thinking that I might want to take that off my resume after this:
The company will then go the way of every company that hires for reasons other than competence. And they deserve it.
As this is a defense contractor as long as the left has power their bottom line is not endangered but I’ll bet a lot of 80 year old Russian spies are wishing they had managed to pull this off 30 years earlier.
My favorite show when I was seven years old was the Richard Greene series The Adventures of Robin Hood which was televised on WMUR about 30 minutes before I had to wake up for school. While they had it on the air I never was late getting up.
I was reminded of the show or rather a particular line I saw this story out of Boston:
Judge William Young has just announced in court that he is withdrawing the Opinion he issued dismissing the case brought by a Boston parents group over the so-called Boston “Zip Code Quota Plan.” For background see our posts:
The key bit:
“This was my opinion, my signature’s on it, I was misled”
“The opinion is wrong, it’s wrong because the facts on which it was based … an opinion I issued under my signature is factually incorrect”
“I’m inclined to withdraw the opinion, I’ve never done that [before in 35 years]”
“I work very hard on my opinions, and this one’s no good.”
The clerk will enter the note: “The opinion entered in this case is withdrawn on the ground the court is satisfied it is factually inaccurate in certain material effects.”
Any judge appointed in Massachusetts over the last 35 years is likely a liberal but a person of that age might not like the idea of their personal honor being tarnished. In the old days even a villains didn’t want to be seen as breaking their word in public.
Give it a few years more and I’m sure the state with only those brought up woke to choose from will not have to worry about this problem again.
One of the things I constantly argue is that things will not change until there are consequences for the left, like this:
Anthony and Barbara Scarpo noted how the Academy of the Holy Names in Tampa even named its auditorium “Scarpo Family Theatre” after their huge pledge in 2017, saying they were helping it raise $9 million in total.
But now the parents want their money back — including tuition paid for their two daughters — in outrage at how the school turned its back on Catholicism to go “woke,” their 13-count, 45-page lawsuit claims.
The Scarpos claim they were betrayed by the school suddenly “embracing the new, politically correct, divisive and ‘woke’ culture where gender identity, human sexuality, and pregnancy termination among other ‘hot-button issues,’ took center stage,” the lawsuit said.
I couldn’t help but remember when my oldest had been offered a big scholarship at the Anna Maria College but when we visited it it turned out to be “Catholic” in name and fundraising only (although the president in response to my letter to the bishop claimed otherwise. Which thanks to this story turned into yesterday’s lead post twelve years later.
A lot of catholic institutions make a lot of money off of donors who don’t know that their Catholic identity is only visible when asking them for checks.
The Long Haul COVID-19 Syndrome (LHCS) is an often debilitating syndrome characterized by a multitude of symptoms such as prolonged malaise, headaches, generalized fatigue, sleep difficulties, smell disorder, decreased appetite, painful joints, dyspnea, chest pain and cognitive dysfunction. The incidence of symptoms after COVID-19 varies from as low as 10% to as high as 80%. LHCS is not only seen after the COVID-19 infection but it is being observed in some people that have received vaccines (likely due to monocyte activation by the spike protein from the vaccine). A puzzling feature of the LHCS syndrome is that it is not predicted by initial disease severity; post-COVID-19 frequently affects mild-to-moderate cases and younger adults that did not require respiratory support or intensive care.
The symptom set of LHCS in the majority of cases is very similar to the chronic inflammatory response syndrome (CIRS)/myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, although in LHCS, symptoms tend to improve slowly in the majority of the cases. Furthermore, the similarity between the mast cell activation syndrome and LHCS has been observed, and many consider post-COVID-19 to be a variant of the mast cell activation syndrome. LHCS is highly heterogenous and likely results from a variety of pathogenetic mechanisms. Furthermore, it is likely that delayed treatment (with ivermectin) in the early symptomatic phase will result in a high viral load, which increases the risk and severity of LHCS.
This describes what happened to my wife (who is still out of work since March and things are starting to get tight around here) perfectly. But I note that some people who have gotten this because of the vaccines.
Now I don’t blame the developers, these vaccines were done in a hurry because of the emergency and this was a new disease but it’s one more thing to consider when deciding if you want to get the shot or not.
Having already had COVID I don’t see the need myself, I’ve already got the antibodies.
Ten days ago or so, Nike CEO John Donahoe stated on an earnings call with investors that his fabled shoe company, started in Oregon by American Phil Knight, was “of China and for China.” Nike currently has 7,000 branded stores in China, and is, Donahoe boasts, the “largest sports brand” in the world’s most populated state, now a cruel dictatorship run by the Chinese Communist Party.
This is who Nike and Mr. Donahoe are “of and for.”
And apparently, so are those athletes who take Nike’s money for endorsing their products: Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, Lebron James, among many others. Has a single sports “journalist” asked any of these multimillionaires whether they are “of and for China?”
Of course not. The story has already been washed away from the sand under the unrelenting media tides. The media would rather gush over the 100th anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party.
In all likelihood, Nike will not suffer one noticeable whit from the contemptible musings of its CEO. It will continue to sell billions of yuan to the massive Chinese populace and lobby the U.S. Congress against banning slave labor.
Yes, Nike actually lobbied Congress to water down a bill banning slave labor. No one cares. Why should Nike? They know how this goes. So long as you give people the chance to buy something they want, they’ll forgive anything.
