Just one more reason to lock Dr. Anthony Fauci in a broom closet and lose the key. – Back in January, Dr. Fauci – who has never found a cure for any virus and is yet to get a single thing right about this one – assured us that COVID-19 presented no immediate threat to the United States.
Yesterday, during testimony before a Senate committee, Fauci said this about a new viral gift from China:
Why is this menace to our society still employed by the federal government, and still making media appearances on behalf of the Trump Administration? His ongoing presence in the national debate is even more malevolent and destructive than that of Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff.
That’s why the lone bright spot in yesterday’s hearing came from Dr. Rand Paul, Senator from Kentucky, who sliced, diced and ground Fauci’s unbridled hubris into a million pieces. From a report at Political Insider:
“Fatal conceit is the concept that central planning with decision making concentrated in a few hands can never fully grasp the millions of complex, individual interactions occurring simultaneously in the marketplace. It is a fatal conceit to believe any one person or small group of people has the knowledge necessary to direct an economy or dictate public health behaviour,” Senator Paul explained.
“I think government health experts during this pandemic need to show caution in their prognostications. It’s important to realize that if society meekly submits to an expert, and that expert is wrong, a great deal of harm may occur. When we allow one man’s policy or one group of small men or women to be foisted on an entire nation,” he continued.
Senator Paul gave the example of experts demanding school closures, in order to control the spread of the coronavirus. This is despite solid examples from all over the world, that show no surge in cases when schools open. Contact tracing studies in China, the U.K., Netherlands, and Iceland also failed to find a single case of child to adult infection.
“Perhaps our planners might think twice before they weigh in on every subject. Perhaps our government advisors might hold their tongue,” Paul argued.
“Why weigh in with these opinions that we have no knowledge of? They are forecasts that may well be wrong. Perhaps our experts might consider the undue fear they are instilling in teachers who are now afraid to go back to work. We shouldn’t presume that a group of experts somehow knows what’s best for everyone,” he added.

Dr. Paul did not call Fauci out by name, but it is obvious who he was referring to in his remarks. Whether Fauci, stewed as he is in a toxic mixture of arrogance and media adulation, took any of it to heart is doubtful.
This little man is a national menace.
Environmentalist Dr. Michael Shellenberger stands as a stark contrast to Dr. Fauci. Shellenberger is the rarest of rare individuals in the world of climate change environmentalism – an expert who understands the limits of his own ability to predict the future using the same kind of faulty computer models that once told us we would lose 2 million Americans to COVID-19, and who understands the incredible damage to global society that has been committed by those in his profession.
Yesterday, Shellenberger published a piece at Quillette.com titled, “On Behalf Of Environmentalists, I Apologize For The Climate Scare.” The title is self-descriptive of the content.
Here’s an excerpt:
On behalf of environmentalists everywhere, I would like to formally apologize for the climate scare we created over the last 30 years. Climate change is happening. It’s just not the end of the world. It’s not even our most serious environmental problem. I may seem like a strange person to be saying all of this. I have been a climate activist for 20 years and an environmentalist for 30.
But as an energy expert asked by Congress to provide objective expert testimony, and invited by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to serve as expert reviewer of its next assessment report, I feel an obligation to apologize for how badly we environmentalists have misled the public.
Here are some facts few people know:
Humans are not causing a “sixth mass extinction”
The Amazon is not “the lungs of the world”
Climate change is not making natural disasters worse
Fires have declined 25 percent around the world since 2003
The amount of land we use for meat—humankind’s biggest use of land—has declined by an area nearly as large as Alaska
The build-up of wood fuel and more houses near forests, not climate change, explain why there are more, and more dangerous, fires in Australia and California
Carbon emissions are declining in most rich nations and have been declining in Britain, Germany, and France since the mid-1970s
The Netherlands became rich, not poor while adapting to life below sea level
We produce 25 percent more food than we need and food surpluses will continue to rise as the world gets hotter
Habitat loss and the direct killing of wild animals are bigger threats to species than climate change
Wood fuel is far worse for people and wildlife than fossil fuels
Preventing future pandemics requires more not less “industrial” agriculture
I know that the above facts will sound like “climate denialism” to many people. But that just shows the power of climate alarmism.

Go read the piece in full. It’ll be the best 10 minutes you spend all day.
I keep telling everyone that BLM and Antifa are just different names for the same terrorist groups. – Yesterday in Provo, Utah, Black Lives Matter engaged in a dangerous escalation of its tactics, as one of the group’s activist actually shot a man who was attempting to escape from a mob of BLM thugs who had surrounded his car:
Despicably, the corrupt news media attempted to portray the driver as the the bad guy, until enterprising people on Twitter slowed down and enhanced the video to clearly show that it was a BLM activist who did the shooting. The utter depravity of our news media today simply knows no depths.
This morning, Provo police announce they have arrested a suspect:
The police go on to say:
Police also arrested Samantha Darling, 27-year-old resident of Ogden City, and booked her into custody at the Utah County Jail for a charge of Obstruction of Justice and Rioting. The Provo Police Department extends its thanks to citizens…
who gave evidence and testimony to investigators and to allied agencies and officers who assisted this investigation, notably Ogden and Salt Lake City Police Departments. The investigation of criminal acts incident to protest events in Provo last night is ongoing.
[End]
Rumors flew yesterday of a second gunman on the opposite side of the street also drawing a pistol and aiming it at the vehicle, but no proof has come to light thus far.
Regardless, this incident demonstrates a very dangerous escalation of the Antifa/BLM insurgency in our country. It’s obvious that President Trump would prefer to avoid calling in the National Guard to put these riots down, but the escalating violence and animalistic behavior increasingly exhibited by these Marxist radicals, combined with the refusal by local officials to take effective action, could ultimately leave him no choice.
They’re shooting people now, Mr. President. The National Guard and your powers to declare national emergencies exist for a reason. Time is growing short to make use of them.
That is all.
FauXi destroyed a bigger economy in a shorter
time than in ALL HISTORY.
When caught with his patented human-DNA-changing Atrocity
WHICH HE WROTE THE CHECK FOR, he actually managed to
changed medicine so that the DEFINITION of a disease
was based upon symptoms and signs rather than
microbiological EVIDENCE.
FauXi <— fake doctor does not see patients but invents
diseases to sell his patented retrovirus laden vaccines.
Fauxi, the proud puppet of EUGENICISTS, is civilization’s most wanted Dead or Alive. Look at him. Listen to his words. Examine his deeds. 5 star general in the Softkill Army. Powered by TOTALITARIANS Bill of Rights.
I think Fauci is one of reasons that Trump’s poll numbers are dropping, for some reason Trump seems content to let this idiot say whatever he wants and issue his coronovirus dictates like he is the one running the country. Fauci should have been reassigned to investigate Malaria in the Congo the first time he publicly criticized the President.
How about no more arson since fire contributes to global warming:
CxHy + O2 = CO2 + H2O
From Mann’s “hockey stick” of CLIMATE CHANGE to CovID-19 PLANDEMIC, Fauxi-type scientific TOTALITARIANS implement their faux branch of scientific methodology called “modeling”. Propelled by PROPAGANDISTS to appear legit and to further CONTROL.

“I think Fauci is one of reasons that Trump’s poll numbers are dropping, for some reason Trump seems content to let this idiot say whatever he wants and issue his coronovirus dictates like he is the one running the country.”
Agree. The day Fauci appeared is the day PDJT appeared to become weak. And Fauci IS the one running the country. I don’t know who his handlers are. I don’t know what “they” said/did to Trump to make him compliant and turn over the country to the smarmy little homunculus.
Fauci’s bullying, and Trump’s compliance, could impact the poll numbers.
“Rumors flew yesterday of a second gunman on the opposite side of the street also drawing a pistol and aiming it at the vehicle, but no proof has come to light thus far.”
Once again this guy DB in incorrect. The video is clear - a second shooter fires into the vehicle as it flees the scene.
Music? OK...
But today you just read that the man was shot dead
By a gun that didn’t make any noise
But it wasn’t the bullet that laid him to rest was
The low spark of high-heeled boys

Shot...dead...gun...no noise. What say you, Trey Billygoat Gates, Commander-in-Chief of the microSoft Kill Army?

Rand Paul is awesome.
He keeps saying things I wish I said.
