Blizzard of Lies (Update)
Steyn On-line ^ | February 15, 2021 | Mark Steyn

Happy Presidents' Day - or Presidents Day (the style is variable) - to all our American readers. You can find our two-part forty-five-song Presidential Medley here and here. Usually, after the mostly-peaceful peaceful transfer of power, I update our special to take account of the new guy - in this case, the purported forty-sixth. But for some reason, this time round, I just thought, aw, screw it.

~As I've been saying for some months, we are aswirl in a blizzard of lies: Covid-19 originated in bats or pangolins. New York did a way better job of handling it than Florida, and Andrew Cuomo's official stats are on the up and up. It's totally racist to refer to the "Chinese Coronavirus" but not to "the UK strain" or the "South African variant". There was no election fraud on November 3rd, but there was an insurrection on January 6th.

Some of the lies are, however, being quietly withdrawn, having accomplished their objective. In my opening monologue on Thursday's Fox News Primetime, I said the following:

All but one of the five dead from January 6th were Trump supporters, felled by strokes, heart attacks; one poor lady was shot at near point-blank range by a police officer and was promptly memory-holed by the US media. The nearest thing to a Trump kill was Brian Sicknick. Here's how America's alleged newspaper of record, The New York Times, reported that story:

'He dreamed of being a police officer, then was killed by a pro-Trump mob.'

Per Mark Twain: “No amount of evidence will ever persuade an idiot(s).” And there are more than enough fidiots out there to go around and they have already been convinced of the lie.

This is first real reporting I’ve seen on the fake fire extinguisher death.

Oh, but we all must "follow the science", mustn't we? Well, certain scientists are getting fed up with the WHO's China-shilling. Bruno Canard, structural virologist at France's National Centre for Scientific Research:

The WHO investigation is a masquerade. There are so many conflicts of interest and obfuscation that it is as if you asked Hassan Rouhani [Iran's president] to lead an international check on Iran's nuclear programme. The WHO is committing credibility suicide.

The WHO has lost all credibility and should not receive another dime from us in funding. Let the CCP support it... as they own it anyway.
