Episode 584 – It’s Not Zero, Dude

The Trump raid has finally been addressed by Merrick Garland…sort of.

The Democrats want to make the IRS into another police bureaucracy.

And, surprise, a new virus is found in China.

 

Kamalaism

This is the dumbest statement from yesterday and it comes from the dumbest man. Old Joe himself:

Some things:

  • The inflation rate from last month was not zero. It was 8.5% down from 9.2%. That’s good but it’s not zero. Don’t forget, inflation should be between 1.5-2% at most.
  • He says it’s zero because some things, like gas, have gone down while others, like meat and bread, have gone up, zeroing things out. That’s not how economics work.
  • Gas may have gone down about .90 cents but it is still up $2.00 from when he took over as President.

This is a bad thing for us. It means that this administration is never going to admit its policies are causing issues and just changing the policies.

Karin Jean Pierre tweeted the same BS statement:

Don’t expect anything to get better over the next two years.

May God Bless Them

Here is some news:

  • Ann Heche not expected to survive her car accident. She is in a coma and has brain damage according to her rep.
  • Salmon Rushdie, writer of the Satanic Versus and subject of a fatwah put on him by the Ayatollah Khomeini in 1988 was attacked today and stabbed in the neck.

 

Correction

Yesterday I said that the Trump lawyers should release the warrant that was given to them during the raid of the mansion in Mar a Lago. That was wrong. The Trump lawyers were able to read the warrant, but were not permitted to keep a copy of the warrant.

Merrick Garland made a statement today. Here’s what he said:

  • He said he would only to speak for five minutes and would not take any questions.
  • He was over a half hour late.
  • The White House did not know Garland was going to speak (that’s what they say).
  • He admitted he he approved the warrant.
  • He praised the FBI.
  • He said he was going to request that the search warrant be released to the public.

The whole thing took about three minutes and he took no questions. He left us with more questions than answers. So the whole thing was worthless. Hopefully, the warrant is released though the affidavit would be far more useful. That would tell us what they were looking for.

Today, in a report by the Washington Post, it was said that the reason the National Archive wanted the papers is because he had information about nuclear weapons that are classified. I don’t buy this crap for a second.

  • President Trump called it a “hoax”.
  • The Washington Post is one of the most anti-Trump newspapers in the United States.
  • If he did actually take that paperwork, what took the National Archive so long to request these documents? Trump has been giving documents back. Don’t you think these would have been the first ones given back?
  • Would the National Archive even be dealing with this? Seems like this might be handled by the Department of Defense, the CIA, The Department of Homeland Security or something, not the National Archive.
  • Finally, doesn’t material like this justify a raid? Why wouldn’t Garland just say Trump has some papers on classified military equipment? I’d understand.

 

Still Think the IRS is Not Being Weaponized

According to the New York Post:

An online job posting for special agents within the law enforcement branch of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is causing a stir on social media, as Congress prepares to pass a spending bill that would greatly expand the federal agency.

A link to a job posting for “Criminal Investigation Special Agents” appeared to have been briefly deleted on Wednesday, following online criticism of the posting’s language, though it reappeared back online after a FOX Business inquiry to the agency. 

A “key requirement” for applicants is that they have to be “legally allowed to carry a firearm,” and “major duties” include “Carry a firearm and be willing to use deadly force, if necessary” and “Be willing and able to participate in arrests, execution of search warrants, and other dangerous assignments,” according to the job posting.

Here’s what the deleted page said:

As if the IRS isn’t scary enough, now they are to carry guns and will be able to kill people.

When bureaucracies start to become weapons of the government, this tyranny starts. This is exactly what happened in the Soviet Union. When they wanted money, the government would take it. Any resistance was met with force. But there wasn’t much resistance because the government had already taken away everyone’s guns. Sound familiar?

Here We Go Again

Yay! China has a new disease!

According to the New York Post:

Nearly three dozen people have been sickened by a new virus spreading in China — with scientists warning it is too early to tell if it is deadly or spreads among humans.

The Langya henipavirus — or LayV — appears to be jumping from animals in parts of China, nearly three years after the coronavirus pandemic started there.

It belongs to a family of viruses that “are known to infect humans and cause fatal disease,” a Chinese-led team of international scientists wrote in a peer-reviewed study in the New England Journal of Medicine.

That includes the Nipah virus, which spreads from pigs and kills up to 75% of those infected, according to the World Health Organization.

I mean, it’s been almost three months since we’ve had a health emergency. Monkey pox isn’t working out. Even gay men, who are exclusively the ones contracting the virus, don’t seem too worried about catching it.

This is going to be the new normal. We are constantly going to have new diseases to be afraid of and I don’t think it’s a coincidence that they all seem to be coming out of China. Politicians like it because it is such an easy way to control the public. In this country, we made it way too easy to let them control us over the China virus. They like the power. China likes it because they saw how easy it was to get ahead because they were able to shut down the world’s economies.

It’s going to be up to us to put a stop to this crap. We need to be brave and not worry about all these diseases because life needs to go on.

In related news, the New York State Department of Health and the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene has reported that they have found the poliovirus in the waste water.

State Health Commissioner Dr. Mary T. Bassett said in a statement:

“For every one case of paralytic polio identified, hundreds more may be undetected. The detection of poliovirus in wastewater samples in New York City is alarming, but not surprising. Already, the State Health Department – working with local and federal partners – is responding urgently, continuing case investigation and aggressively assessing spread.”

So this isn’t a big deal. A few years ago, they found bubonic plague in San Diego in a dead bat. Polio has basically been eradicated in humans with the vaccine so I don’t think is going to be that big a deal.
