The people who abused their power and imposed tyranny during the pandemic will do it again if we don’t hold them accountable.
He doesn’t exactly say who sinned, just that “We got things wrong,” and “Some officials made mistakes in the early days.” Things happened. Mistakes were made. It’s time to move on. Miller’s argument is basically a warmed-over, lightly Christianized version of the essay Brown University economics professor Emily Oster wrote for The Atlantic last November, which argued for a “pandemic amnesty” on account of how “uncertain” and “complicated” things were in the face of a once-in-a-century pandemic like Covid. The ruling class did its best, OK?
Oster’s piece elicited well-deserved scorn from many on the right, including our own Joy Pullmann, who noted that a genuine amnesty “requires an admission of guilt and a commitment to repairing the wrongs done.” The absence of such an admission and commitment to change, says Pullmann, is “an indication that you’re going to do it again,” and makes it impossible to rebuild trust.
Of course, the people responsible for shutting down the economy, closing schools and churches, destroying countless businesses, and condemning the elderly to die alone in their hospital rooms are not at all sorry about what they did. To this day, they don’t acknowledge any wrongdoing whatsoever. Certainly not Anthony Fauci, who in an April interview with The New York Times defiantly faulted ordinary Americans for failing to listen to him, the self-proclaimed embodiment of science.He doesn’t exactly say who sinned, just that “We got things wrong,” and “Some officials made mistakes in the early days...”

my first thought! 2 weeks to flatten the curve! listen to Fauci!
PS- this was one of the main reasons I opted to retire as early as possible and I was in a supervisory position with the potential to climb into the senior executive ranks had I chosen to go to DC.
I was so disgusted by the management in my organization, and mistreated for not playing along, that I wanted NOTHING to do with those @$$holes anymore.
They proved themselves as no more than knee crawlers, willing to do ANYTHING in order to be noticed and please those above them. I am 100% convinced that if there are given the order to collect all private firearms, they would do it. If they were given the order to load trains to Ausschwitz, they would do it and brag about how they are 99.9% effective!
They were proud of their accomplishment: https://federalnewsnetwork.com/workforce/2021/11/federal-agencies-close-to-100-compliance-with-vaccine-mandate-as-enforcement-begins/ Of course compliance meant coercion, threats, and medical privacy violations. But no one wanted to hear that at the time.
It was under Biden where things became really bad. Flagrant illegal mandates with coercive measures and threats. Flagrant violations of my medical privacy. F-them, I wasn’t having it.
I will NEVER forget, or forgive, any of them.
Trump didn’t force anyone to get the shot.
Another thing that Trump got right was Dr Atlas. But the press went after him with so many lies (just as they did Trump relentlessly) and got him to step away.
Trump NEVER mandated the vaccines, demanded to stop flights from China early on, was constantly lied to by Fauci and even Birx would not tell him the truth (she remained ‘silent’ when it came to speaking the truth.) I do not blame Trump so much as many others have.
I continue to hope that he demands a stop to the vaccines and masking let alone any ‘passports’ for proof of vaccination status.
“Trump was fighting the entire DC administrative state Swamp the entire time he was in office.
I have no doubt he loves America and the American people.
That means a lot more to me than your petty “gotchas!””
Amen to that!
100%!
They called you domestic terrorists when you demanded your kids get the education your tax dollars paid for.
They mocked you when you demanded a return to normalcy for children.
They sneer at your concern over empty shelves and exploding grocery and utility bills.
They messed with supply chains and emptied store shelves, while the elites partied on yachts and Martha’s Vineyard.
They queered women’s sports and the military, and made the citizenry pay for it.
They sexualized schoolchildren, and persecuted parents at school board meetings.
They denied you the chance to try alternative treatments for COVID.
Then they fired you for not getting the vaccine.
When you stand up for your freedom, they call you Nazis and bigots.
Do not forget what they have done.
Do not forgive them.
They are hoping that, by November, you have forgotten the nightmareof the last 2+ years.
YOU struggle to make ends meet and the best the Biden administration can do is free crack pipes for “racial equity.”
This is on top of the woke, cancel culture bull they shove down our throats, the 2020 riots, being accused of racism and bigotry because we oppose their agenda.
As the election draws closer, they’ll pretend they didn’t do any of this.
They’ll gaslight us.
Project.
Blame the GOP (like they tried to when defunding the police went south).
DO NOT give them power.
They haven’t learned a damn thing from this.
You re-elect them, and you can expect masks and lockdowns and nonsense in perpetuity.
Not just for COVID, but for whatever else they deem a “public health emergency” (guns, climate change).
(Remember, they are the very same people who ignore a pubic health emergency aka AIDS.)
They will trample your rights.
VOTE THEM OUT.
NEVER FORGET.
REMEMBER…..EVERY NOVEMBER!
I sorta agree with Sean Davis on this issue.
Not that I ever read in Scripture.
God knows the heart and knows if the repentance is genuine or not. The proof will be in the changed life, not deeds done to *prove* anything to God.
That statement, right there, should disqualify him from being fit to be president again in the minds of millions of people. Sad thing is it won’t for most. In fact when he points at others and exclaims how he was “duped”, they’ll double down their support.
we cant even hold a low life criminal on the street accountable
Yup. Been saying for two years that if Trump wins the 2024 primary, the deep state/media in a fit of desperation will throw big Pharma under the bus and we'll be getting front page stories 24/7 about how deadly the untested "Trump Shots" are in order to derail his re-election.
Repent Hell! I want to see prosecutions!!!!!
Go vote for your Bush Crime Family Trojan Horse then.
How about we protest instead? How about we put our money where our mouths are a not cast a vote for the lesser of two evils for a change? We all know how well that's worked out for us. How about instead of waging passive aggresive attacks on each other like you just did, we come together and let the establishment know that we are no longer fooled, or do the consequences of taking a firm stand scare you?
I don’t bother reasoning with Trump Derangement Syndrome sufferers.
Doubling down, I see. I don't hate Trump, voted for him twice. I just understand he's not the Messiah you think he is. Accusing me of TDS because I disagree with your choice of action puts you on par with the Marxists. Call me a Fascist, or Nazi so you can get the hat trick. Maybe you been fed political shit for so long by the establishment you can't taste the difference in it all?
I. DON’T. CARE.
