…are the same people who insisted that this wasn’t true:

Last month AstraZeneca admitted for the first time in court documents that its covid vaccine can cause a rare side effect in an apparent about-turn that could have paved the way for a multi-million-pound legal payout. This could theoretically become a landmark legal case, although there have already been obstacles for those seeking justice. 

The story of Alex who lost a leg due to the Vaccine has several interesting twists and turns but the most telling are this:

I don’t blame the public; most are just going with what they have been told. And if the public see papers like Rolling Stone [Alex was on the front cover in January 2023] labelling me as an antivaxxer and a conspiracy theorist, that gives them open free game to give us all the abuse that you can imagine. You wouldn’t believe some of the things that have been said to me: ‘You should have died’; ‘You should have lost both legs’; ‘Could you not have lost your tongue?’ I have been called a grifter. I am still trying to get my head around that one. A crisis actor – I was also called that once. That was quite impressive.  

and this:

I was interviewed on Indian TV and I found out that they have used 1.7billion does of AstraZeneca over there. Half the population. I was told privately that they are having a massive problem because their government won’t even talk about it. So this is global, it is not just one place.  

Never forget two things:

Conventional Wisdom is always correct right up until the day it’s not.

If the steal had been unsuccessful and Donald Trump had been sworn in the same media people who insisted that the vaccines were safe and excoriated those who pointed out basic facts that suggested otherwise would have been all over this story from the start because they would have blamed Donald Trump for every single injury they caused.

Reality is, it doesn’t care how you vote.

Update: The making of the green

By Christopher Harper

In my successful efforts this week to avoid the nattering nabobs of negatism, I

turned to American historian Joseph Ellis, the author of a wonderful 2001 book

about the revolution.

In eloquent and thoughtful chapters, he explores important episodes about

George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Aaron Burr, Alexander Hamilton,

James Madison, Ben Franklin, and John and Abigail Adams.

An exploration of Washington’s Farewell Address swept me away from the

bickering of talking heads and ignorant “experts.”

In 1796, Washington had decided to retire after two terms as president. But he

wanted to leave the country and the government with some wisdom before his

departure to Mount Vernon.

As Ellis notes, Washington makes three important points:

–Political parties may do more damage than good to the country.

“They serve to organize faction, to give it an artificial and extraordinary force;

to put, in the place of the delegated will of the nation the will of a party, often a

small but artful and enterprising minority of the community; and, according to

the alternate triumphs of different parties, to make the public administration

the mirror of the ill-concerted and incongruous projects of faction, rather than

the organ of consistent and wholesome plans digested by common counsels

and modified by mutual interests.”

Washington’s concerns were on the mark. Within months after Washington’s

retirement, the government became divided between the Federalists and the

Republicans.

Have you ever had the misfortune of debating liberals on social media?  I have far too often.  I never intended to, not once.  It was simply the unfortunate consequence of my continuous bad habit of posting stuff on social media that contradicts established progressive orthodoxy.

There is nothing that provokes a leftist more fanatically than encountering a social media post that they do not agree with.  They immediately engage in a holy war against that post.  The main objectives of their crusade against speech they disagree with is to bully the offenders into silence.

When provoked by ideas they disagree with liberals engage in the ugliest and most mean spirited personal attacks against those that dare voice them.  The absolute worst thing you can do if you find yourself troubled online by rabid leftists is show anger.  That is what they crave the most.  They are like puppies starved for attention. Deny them your anger.  Always maintain the moral high ground.

Combating a liberal’s usual diatribe with facts and logic is just as useless as shooting a werewolf with traditional lead projectiles.   They are completely immune to those weapons because they have been indoctrinated for decades by our abysmal educational system.  They have been brainwashed into believing that reality is subjective, all that matters to them is what they believe and what they feel.

The only truly effective weapon to use against liberals is ridicule.  One common side effect of progressive indoctrination is the erasure of their sense of humor.  The brainwashing hypersensitized the part of the brain that leads to the sense of being offended.  .

Facts and logic dressed up with non-mean spirited and humorous ridicule is the deadliest weapon you can use when engaging in verbal combat with liberals.

This is part two of my series on my list of the best choices for Trump as a running mate.

Choice one: Ron DeSantis is here.

Today we go for our 2nd choice on the list of possible running mates for Donald Trump. To remind everyone there are two things that any person who wants to make this list needs to qualify.

  1. Can’t be from the same state I’m going to be slightly loose with this because “can’t be from the same state” can mean either:
    • Not born in the same state OR
    • Not living in the same state at the time of the election
  2. Must be hated by the left almost if not more than him because if he was to take a “deep state” running mate or a person like Nikki Haley he might as well, as I’ve noted before hang a target on his back with the words “assassinate me” in bright luminescent paint.

Today we have Choice 2: Senator Ted Cruz of Texas

Ted Cruz back in the days before the beard when I was covering Presidential Elections in person

Senator Ted Cruz brings all kinds of things to a Trump ticket.

  • He brings one of the most brilliant minds in conservatism
  • He is one of greatest debaters conservatives have having argued before SCOTUS
  • He brings one of the best records when it comes to conservatism over the last 10 years
  • He was one of the original Tea Party Candidates who came out of nowhere after being endorsed by Sarah Palin
  • He like Trump is a fighter who is fearless and had a long record of fighting for conservatism before Trump ever considered running.

All of these things weigh big but here is one thing that to me is huge and frankly should appeal to Donald Trump.

During the 2016 campaign Ted Cruz was hit hard by Trump in such a way that if it had been me I’d have found it hard, in fact almost impossible to support him while in office. Ted however saw how Donald Trump governed and decided that in the end he was doing good in fact great for the country and the world. He put aside his feelings and backed him becoming in the end one of his staunchest supporters.

He put the country ahead of himself there and that speaks volumes.

And he of course meets our top two requirements, being from Texas qualifies and it hated by the left almost as much as Trump, and even the most fanatical Trump hater would hold his fire to prevent Ted Cruz from being the 1st Latino vice president.

Just think how much that would piss off the left. If that’s not the crowning argument I’d like to know what is?
