Hey, remember that Lancet study from a few weeks ago that claimed to show that Hydroxychloroquine was somehow deadly to Wuhan Virus patients? – Yeah, the study was a scam:
The Lancet ✔ @TheLancet Today, three of the authors have retracted "Hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine with or without a macrolide for treatment of COVID-19: a multinational registry analysis" Read the Retraction notice and statement from The Lancet https://hubs.ly/H0r7gh50

I’m not kidding. Not even the greatest science fiction writer who ever lived could possibly make this stuff up.
It was all just another leftist scam to “get” Donald Trump. The sad part of it is that people most likely died as a result of the chilling effect it had on doctors being willing to prescribe this safe, cheap and widely-used drug for patients it could have benefited. Despicable.
This is what a religious cult looks like:

Speaking of stuff you could never make up… – A couple of friends who are on a trip in Alaska right now sent me this photo today:
This is posted on a miles-long hiking trail that most likely doesn’t have 50 people on it today. There is literally not one shred of science or data that supports the notion that staying 6 feet from people in the wilds of Alaska makes even the tiniest difference, yet there it is.
This is also stuff that a religious cult adhering to nothing but dogma would do.
Burying the lede… – Ned Ryun was angry to see the news that Lindsey Graham had postponed today’s scheduled subpoena vote by the Senate Judiciary Committee after Nebraska RINO Ben Sasse threw a typical hissy fit:
Ned Ryun ✔ @nedryun Ben Sasse is a total waste of a Senator. . . https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/501134-graham-postpones-russia-probe-subpoena-vote-as-tensions-boil-over …
Graham postpones Russia probe subpoena vote as tensions boil over Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is postponing a vote on authorizing subpoenas for more than 50 individuals as Republicans ramp up their investigation into the Russia probe.
thehill.com 230 1:13 PM - Jun 4, 2020 Twitter Ads info and privacy 118 people are talking about this However, if you go actually read that article by The Hill, you find this lede conveniently buried way down in the final two paragraphs:
Earlier Thursday, the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee held its own vote to give subpoena power to Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) for that panel’s investigation into Obama-era actions including Crossfire Hurricane.
The vote allows Johnson to subpoena Comey, Rice and former CIA Director John Brennan, among others.
Oh.
See, it’s not all up to Senator Graham. This can all just as easily be exposed by the Homeland Security Committee, whose Chairman is a far more serious person and not nearly so obviously compromised.
What, is the New York Times running itself as a day-care center now? – After all of his corrupt reporters tossed a mass meltdown on Twitter last night and his editors staged an open rebellion over the publication of an op/ed by Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton, New York Times Publisher A.G. Sulzberger felt the need to explain the basics of newspaper publishing to his herd of juvenile delinquents:
The op-ed page exists to offer views from across the spectrum, with a special focus on those that challenge the positions taken by our Editorial Board. We see that as a source of strength, allowing us to provide readers with a diversity of perspectives that is all too rare in modern media. We don’t publish just any argument — they need to be accurate, good faith explorations of the issues of the day — and there are many reasons why Op-Eds are denied publication. It is clear many believe this piece fell outside the realm of acceptability, representing dangerous commentary in an explosive moment that should not have found a home in The Times, even as a counterpoint to our own institutional view. I believe in the principle of openness to a range of opinions, even those we may disagree with, and this piece was published in that spirit. But it’s essential that we listen and to reflect on the concerns we’re hearing, as we would with any piece that is the subject of significant criticism.
[End]
Absolutely stunning that a newspaper publisher has to write something like this to a pack of people who presumably graduated from something called “journalism school.” And we wonder why journalism – real journalism – has become an anachronism in our country.
Speaking of the corrupt news media… – Remember how every fake media outlet in the nation went berserk over this video clip a couple of weeks ago, with many squealing that these people were all gonna get the Wuhan Virus and spread it all over the country?
Karn @01Karn Scene from Lake of Ozarks. To hell with Social distancing #COVIDIOT
Embedded video 43 12:19 PM - May 24, 2020 Twitter Ads info and privacy 36 people are talking about this Yeah, that, like pretty much every other dire warning issued about this virus, didn’t happen. From a piece at Fox News: There have been no new cases of the novel coronavirus among the hundreds who flouted social distancing guidelines and attended pool parties at Missouri’s Lake of the Ozarks over Memorial Day weekend, a state health official said this week.
Videos and photos that showed hundreds of partygoers prompted health officials in the state to express concerns that the large gatherings would lead to a surge in cases of COVID-19. Those who attended were urged to self-quarantine and get tested, while officials in St. Louis County — Lake of the Ozarks is a popular getaway for people who live in St. Louis — later issued a travel advisory.
…
Overall, the statewide hospitalizations from the virus have decreased by more than 40 percent in recent weeks, while the state’s number of positive cases has also declined, Parson said during the briefing, per the newspaper.
“Our hospitals are not overwhelmed. Our positivity rate continues to decline. People are recovering, and we are moving forward,” he said.

Oh.
One final reminder. – In 2009 and 2010, Americans put in office a Black president, a black attorney general, Joe Biden as VP, and Democrats had super majorities in both houses of congress. During those years, and the six years that followed, there was no criminal justice reform; there was no prison reform; there was no police reform or any other effort to correct racial injustice.
What did they focus on instead? Nationalized healthcare and climate change.
Because they’re all Democrats, and they don’t mean a damn thing they’re saying today.
That is all.
Nice article.
And no Humblegunner to whine about it.
Yet.
turns out that the company that provided the “data” for the study doesn’t even exist, and that the report that Lancet – a “respected” medical journal – published was actually authored by a science fiction writer. I’m not kidding. Not even the greatest science fiction writer who ever lived could possibly make this stuff up.
“And no Humblegunner to whine about it.”
Damn, didn’t know that. And he was the ‘John McEnroe’ of this site!
