NYT looses objectivity

A recent study of the words used in their articles shows that the “woke” New York Times has gone from being objective and rational to subjective and emotional

“Our results suggest that over the past decades, there has been a marked shift in public interest from the collective to the individual, and from rationality toward emotion.”

Another late Friday - Another Bad Biden Border Briefing

Biden’s policies are a mess AND put many innocents at risk and allow Mexican cartels to get rich.

Let's let masses of poor people in other countries know we're contemplating giving 100's of  $1000 if they come here illegally.  Way to go Brandon!

I support immigration. A lot of immigration. But legal immigration, with a mix of merit based  (engineers, scientists, entrepreneurs, doctors, mathematicians, etc.) and opportunity-based (poor people who want to work hard, adopt American values, and get ahead). 

(Note-The above numbers are the apprehensions. We do not know how many people get through without being apprehended)

Vaccination Efficacy Preventing Death

 


So far so good


Natural immunity 13x better than vaccine, but still get vaccinated


All things being equal, you are way better protected, on average, from natural immunity (if you survive) than you are from the vaccines. However there are two important addition points:

1-You have to survive the disease which is not a certainty  so vaccination first makes sense

2-The virus is constantly mutating so getting boosters after you’ve had Covid makes sense

SARS-CoV-2-naïve vaccinees had a 13.06-fold (95% CI, 8.08 to 21.11) increased risk for breakthrough infection with the Delta variant compared to those previously infected, when the first event (infection or vaccination) occurred during January and February of 2021.

This makes sense because you would expect the breath and depth of antibodies, memory T cells and memory B cells, once again on average, to be greater with a natural infection versus a vaccine.

Where’s Brandon as Russia threatens Ukraine

 


Still looks like Chinese virus came from Chinese lab



In March 2018 Ecohealth proposed working with Wuhan lab to insert furin cleavage site into a coronavirus to study it.

The furin cleavage sight is what allows SARS Cov 2 to have such a high infectious and mortality rate.

To date there has been no natural coronavirus identified with the furin cleavage site found in SARS Cov 2  

https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/21066966-defuse-proposal

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/12/15/wuhan-lab-leak-now-likely-origin-covid-mps-told/


Covid was spreading "virulently" in Wuhan as early as summer 2019 – far sooner than previously thought, according to an intelligence analysis of spending on PCR testing equipment. 

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2021/10/04/covid-spreading-virulently-wuhan-summer-2019-claims-report/







Sars Cov 2 has a very unusual sequence,  ccgccg, in a very precise location that results in a spike protein with extraordinary affinity/activity (furin cleavage site) with the human ACE2 receptor, making it extraordinarily contagious and infectious. Since 1992 there have been at least 11 separate experiments adding a special sequence to the same location. The end result has always been supercharged viruses.And, in the entire class of coronaviruses that includes CoV-2, the CGG-CGG combination has never been found naturally. Although the double CGG is suppressed naturally, the opposite is true in laboratory work. The insertion sequence of choice is the double CGG. That’s because it is readily available and convenient, and scientists have a great deal of experience inserting it. 


THE BEGINNING – Unknown Virus

 

April 2012 six workers in Mojiang mine fell ill from a mystery illness while removing bat feces. Three of the six subsequently died.

 

From first becoming too sick to work in the mine, patient 2 survived 57 days until he died. Patient 3 survived 120 days after stopping work. Patient 4 survived 117 days and then was discharged as cured. Each had been exposed in the mine for 14 days prior to the onset of severe symptoms and they were treated for infections with symptoms (on admission) of:  a) dry cough, b) sputum, c) high fevers, especially shortly before death, 

d) difficulty breathing, and e) myalgia (sore limbs). Four had low blood oxygen diagnosed as ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome) and immune damage considered indicative of viral infection. Tendency for thrombosis was noted in patients 2 and 4.  Symptom severity and mortality were age-related (though from a sample of 6 this must be considered anecdotal). Potential common and rare causes of their symptoms were tested for and eliminated. Treatment included ventilation (patients 2-4), steroids (all patients), antivirals (all except patient 5), and blood thinners (patients 2 and 4).   


Remote meetings were held with Zhong Nanshan at Sun Yat-Sen University, Guangdong. Zhong is the Chinese hero of the SARS epidemic, a virologist, and arguably the most famous scientist in China. Samples from the miners were later sent to the Wuhan Lab and to Zhong Nanshan. The source of infection was concluded to be  a horseshoe bat with unknown coronavirus, not SARS virus. Samples were taken from patients for “scientific research” and blood samples (at least) were sent to the Wuhan Lab testing positive for serum IgM suggesting the existence of virus infection.  June 27th, 2012, the doctors performed an unexplained thymectomy on patient 4. The thymus is an immune organ that can potentially be removed without greatly harming the patient and it could have contained large quantities of virus. 


Science magazine wrote up part of the incident in 2014 as A New Killer Virus in China?


 

MIDDLE – Virus named BtCoV/4991 (and covertly renamed RaTG13)


 2016 Feb; 31(1): 31–40.Coexistence of multiple coronaviruses in several bat colonies in an abandoned mineshaft


BtCoV/4991, a partial sequence of coronavirus and RaTG13, a full sequence of a coronavirus, are from the same bat fecal sample from Mojiang mine in 2013.

 

Wuahn lab has great interest in SARS-like bat coronaviruses, searched the Mojiang mine for bat viruses on four separate occasions between August 2012 and July 2013, even though the mine is a 1,000 Km from Wuhan, collecting trips began while some of the miners were still hospitalized.

 

Partial sequence by Wuhan lab first described in 2016, BtCoV/4991 was a 370 nucleotide virus fragment collected from the Mojiang mine in 2013 by the Wuhan Lab.

 

In 2017 and 2018 Wuhan lab working with BtCoV/4991 with full sequencing.   Full sequence has one segment 100% identical to BtCoV/4991

 

In February 2020, Wuhan Lab published full sequence of BtCoV/1991 but gave it a new name, RaTG13, without mentioning BtCov/1991 when they had cited BtCoV/4991 twice in earlier publications and once in a genome sequence database .  Further there was no mention of miners or deaths RaTG13 

 

END – SARS Cov2 Pandemics hits the world
 

RaTG13 coronavirus is the closest corona virus to SARS Cov2.



MEANING  - Coronavirus RaTG13 (aka BtCoV/1991) was the likely virus that infected 9 minors from Mojjian mine in 2012. RaTG13 likely mutated or was modified into the more infectious and dangerous SARS Cov2 under selective pressure within an human/laboratory environment  over prolonged period of time/study. Wuhan Lab had SARS Cov2 in various samples, including thymus, taken from Miners in 2012. Given Wuhan Lab’s extensive work with corona viruses it is likely that SARS Cov2 was accidentally released from the Wuhan Lab.

Biden is a racist

Biden Jan 2021 -  “the Fed­eral Gov­ern­ment has a re­spon­si­bil­ity to pre­vent racism, xeno­pho­bia, and in­tol­er­ance against every­one in Amer­ica, in­clud­ing Asian Amer­i­cans and Pa­cific Is­landers.”

Biden Dec 2021 - “OK us­ing race to dis­crim­i­nate against Asian-Amer­i­can col­lege ap­pli­cants.”

Why don't these black lives matter?

 Where’s the outrage? Where’s BLM? Where’s Lebron?

Chicago police recorded another 25 shootings, including four murders, over the past weekend alone, as the city’s police superintendent and others testified Monday before a Senate committee on gun violence. 

From Friday at 6 p.m. to Sunday at 11:59 p.m., there were 25 shooting incidents involving 27 shooting victims. There were four murders reported to police during that time frame. 

Another week and more lives lost. Until the Democrats stop propagating the false narrative nothing will change.

Black lives matter - I support the words but cannot support the organization because it propagates the false narrative that systemic racism is the primary cause of the disparities(murders, incarceration, teen mothers, fatherless households, income, wealth, etc.) between blacks and whites.

Racism exists (though not widespread), it’s bad, and we should continue to work to reduce it. Excess police force exists (though rare), it's  bad and we should continue to work to reduce it.

BLM organization’s positions and policies do not address the problems (murders, fatherless households, teen pregnancy, lack of agency) and do not address the key root causes (it’s not excessive police force or systemic racism.)

No! You can't blame the tornado on climate change

IPCC - "trends in tornadoes... associated w/ severe convective storms are not robustly detected...attribution of certain classes of extreme weather (eg, tornadoes) is beyond current modelling and theoretical capabilities...how tornadoes will change is an open question.

The trend in tornado damage is actually decreasing.

Release the transcript!

A video feed of a Taiwanese minister was cut during U.S. President Joe Biden's Summit for Democracy last week after a map in her slide presentation showed Taiwan in a different color to China, which claims the island as its own. Sources, who did not want to be identified due to the sensitivity of the matter, said the video feed was cut at the behest of the White House.

The State Department said "confusion" over screen-sharing resulted in Tang's video feed being dropped, calling it "an honest mistake."

Biden botching Ukraine again


Who might be colluding with whom? 

Obama put Biden in charge of Ukraine situation. Russia took over the Crimea and infiltrated Eastern Ukraine where they are fighting a separatist battle with Ukraine. Biden sent blankets and meals ready to eat

Trump, an intellectually lazy, insecure, President lacking gravitas provided lethal aid, primarily javelin antitank missiles  to the Ukraine that have helped Ukraine stop Russia from continuing to take over their country. 

Now Russia has massed over 100,000 troops with tanks l, artillery, field headquarters etc. on Ukraine’s border and many experts believe they are likely to invade the Ukraine

Biden is now withholding $300 million of military assistance to the Ukraine. 

Let’s go Brandon!

MI shooter’s parents sh…ty but probably not guilty


The parents of the Oakland school shooter are probably not guilty unless it can be shown that they knew their son was going to shoot the students.  Their actions do not seem to fit the three elements required for involuntary manslaughter in Michigan.


It doesn’t mean that they might not be shitty parents, but as a society we should make sure we use the law as it is written and intended not as some would like it to be.

Michigan - 3 required elements of [involuntary ] manslaughter:

1. That the defendant caused the death of the deceased victim, that the deceased individual died as a result of the defendant's action. WEAK

2. That the defendant either:
a. intended to [unintentionally] kill[ed] the victim NOPE
b. intended to do [unintentionally did ] great bodily harm to the victim,NOPE
or 
c. created a situation where the risk of great bodily harm or death was very high MAYBE, knowing that as a result of the defendant's actions he or she knew UNLIKELY that serious harm or death would likely result.

3. That the defendant caused the death of the victim WEAK without justification or lawful excuse.

Biden’s botched bad boys

 Oooops! Let go Brandon!

Kim Potter Should be found innocent

Tragedy? Yes.      Manslaughter? No


Daunte Wright was stopped for having an expired license plate and something hanging from his mirror.   During the stop the officers found out that he had an outstanding warrant.  He then resisted arrest and tried to flee. 


Officer Potter then shoots him, apparently by accident, thinking she was using her tazer.  


The political district attorney Ellison is overcharging her with first and second-degree manslaughter. However, if you look at the elements of second-degree manslaughter in Minnesota(see below), it does not appear that she should be found guilty because there appears to be a key missing element of second-degree manslaughter: consciously taking chances that will kill or severely harm somebody


Three elements required for 2nd degree Manslaughter in MN

1. Causes the Death-yes

2. Culpably Negligent-maybe

3. Consciously - nope


Wright had at least two previous charges against him and at least one outstanding warrant. 


Case number 27-CR-19-29850 refers to a 2019 aggravated robbery charge against Wright. The register of actions indicates the notice of hearing for this case was sent to the wrong address, but the court did not respond with a warrant


Case number 27-CR-21-4400 refers to a charge against Wright for possession of a pistol without a permit and fleeing a police officer. The court issued a warrant for Wright’s arrest for failing to appear at the hearing. That warrant was active at the time of Wright’s death. 


609.205 MANSLAUGHTER IN THE SECOND DEGREE.

A person who causes the death of another [YES] by any of the following means is guilty of manslaughter in the second degree and may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than ten years or to payment of a fine of not more than $20,000, or both:

(1) by the person's culpable negligence [MAYBE] whereby the person creates an unreasonable risk, and consciously [NOPE] takes chances of causing death or great bodily harm to another; or

(2) by shooting another with a firearm or other dangerous weapon as a result of negligently believing the other to be a deer or other animal; or

(3) by setting a spring gun, pit fall, deadfall, snare, or other like dangerous weapon or device; or

(4) by negligently or intentionally permitting any animal, known by the person to have vicious propensities or to have caused great or substantial bodily harm in the past, to run uncontrolled off the owner's premises, or negligently failing to keep it properly confined; or

(5) by committing or attempting to commit a violation of section 609.378 (neglect or endangerment of a child), and murder in the first, second, or third degree is not committed thereby.

If proven by a preponderance of the evidence, it shall be an affirmative defense to criminal liability under clause (4) that the victim provoked the animal to cause the victim's death.



Biden's meaningless jobs claim

The Biden Administration claims they have created a record number of jobs of any president in their first 10 months.  While this may be a factual number, it is a MEANINGLESS claim.

Biden has an economy that is still recovering from a pandemic shutdown. To take credit for a record number of jobs created in the first 10 months of an administration is meaningless as shown in the chart below where you can see that after the pandemic shut-down Trump created 13 million jobs while Biden has only created 5 million jobs.

What is important is the percent of the population that is working.  As you can see, Biden is still woefully short of where the economy was before the pandemic shutdown and it is likely that his increased subsidization of people not to work and his various vaccine mandates are negatively affecting the labor force participation.
