-Lurid Crime Tales-
Pres. Trump campaign lawyer: 'Far more exposure' of election fraud, if DOJ had enlisted FBI
[Just the News] "It's always open season on conservatives and Republicans, and when you have blatant corruption, blatant lawbreaking by the left, they just sweep it under the rug," said Jesse Binnall.

Attributing the lack of Justice Department action against election fraud to a "huge double standard," Trump campaign legal advisor Jesse Binnall said Monday there could have been "far more exposure" of fraud if the department had brought the FBI in to investigate using subpoenas, witnesses, and documents.

The DOJ had the chance to expose election fraud not only right after the election, but even beforehand, Binnall said in an interview on "Just the News AM."

"It's always open season on conservatives and Republicans, and when you have blatant corruption, blatant lawbreaking by the left, they just sweep it under the rug," he told show host Carrie Sheffield. "It's turning a blind eye to fraud and corruption because you're afraid of what the media might say about that. Most importantly, it's unilateral disarmament, it cannot stand."

Adding that the DOJ needs to be "depoliticized," Binnall said that people at the department need to take orders from their bosses and from the president of the United States.

"If the American people put that pressure on their member of Congress, I'm confident we can get this done," Binnall said of the ongoing election challenges by the Trump legal team. "I'm confident that we can make sure that this election is not stolen."

-Short Attention Span Theater-
Will the New York Times Ever Stop Slandering the South?
[American Spectator] How long must the South be chastised for its history? For the editors of the New York Times, apparently, the answer is, "Forever." Nothing could be more obvious in its intended purpose than the non-accidental choice of Leesburg, Virginia, for the latest iteration of the tiresomely familiar "Legacy of Slavery" theme in the New York Times.

If you are not a Southerner, or if you pay no attention to the New York Times, you may be unfamiliar with that newspaper’s long tradition of invoking slavery, the Civil War, and Jim Crow as a means of insinuating the South’s permanent status of moral inferiority. As a native of Atlanta — and by "native," I mean, literally born there, as opposed to most of the city’s current residents, who moved there from up North somewhere — this sense of hereditary stigma is something I’ve resented since I was old enough to notice it. Because our national media establishment is mainly headquartered in New York, this insulting anti-Southern prejudice is taken for granted by most journalists, who seem incapable of reporting any story below the Potomac River without bringing up lynching, segregation, or some other way of implying that the Original Sin of racism forever defines the South.

Certainly it was not an accident that when the New York Times wanted to do a story about "cancel culture," involving a white teenager who was castigated for using the dreaded n-word on social media, they chose such a situation in historic Leesburg, Virginia. In the 13th paragraph of Dan Levin’s 2,400-word feature article about the plight of Mimi Groves, he describes her as "among many incoming freshmen across the country whose admissions offers were revoked by at least a dozen universities after videos emerged on social media of them using racist language." But the New York Times didn’t do a feature story about Nate Panza of Watchung, New Jersey, or Sean Glaze of Springfield, Ohio, students who have experienced "cancellations" for similar reasons as Miss Grove. However many white kids might be punished for saying the n-word New Jersey or Ohio, such locations would not give the New York Times an opportunity to apply its trademark "Legacy of Slavery" theme.

Leesburg, the reader is told in the third paragraph of Dan Levin’s article, is "a town named for an ancestor of the Confederate general Robert E. Lee and whose school system had fought an order to desegregate for more than a decade after the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling.

Bill & Melinda have an Insane Idea to Save the Human Race From Global Warming
Whatever it is, the answer is no.
[PJ] Bill Gates, the computer nerd-turned-billionaire-turned left-wing activist wants to save humanity.

He wants to dim the sun.
Absolutely not.
That’s right, the founder of Microsoft apparently thinks that the sun is the Blue Screen of Death in the sky and is funding research at Harvard University into dimming the sun to cool the earth. The solar geoengineering project, called Stratospheric Controlled Perturbation Experiment (SCoPEx), will be flying a test balloon above Sweden next year as part of this research. The plan is to eventually release 2 kg of calcium carbonate dust into the atmosphere in a year or two to study how what impact it may have.

You read that correctly. They want to put chalk dust in the atmosphere. Are you old enough to have ever cleaned blackboard erasers for your teacher? That nasty cloud of chalk dust you inhaled during that process is what they want to put into the atmosphere.

What could possibly go wrong?

'The Unraveling of America' - Anthropologist Wade Davis on how COVID-19 signals the end of the American era
From August, 2020. Let’s see how his predictions match up to developing reality, dear Reader.
[Rolling Stone] Never in our lives have we experienced such a global phenomenon. For the first time in the history of the world, all of humanity, informed by the unprecedented reach of digital technology, has come together, focused on the same existential threat, consumed by the same fears and uncertainties, eagerly anticipating the same, as yet unrealized, promises of medical science.

In a single season, civilization has been brought low by a microscopic parasite 10,000 times smaller than a grain of salt. COVID-19 attacks our physical bodies, but also the cultural foundations of our lives, the toolbox of community and connectivity that is for the human what claws and teeth represent to the tiger.

Our interventions to date have largely focused on mitigating the rate of spread, flattening the curve of morbidity. There is no treatment at hand,
...there are actually lots of treatments on hand, an ever expanding list of previously approved treatments for other diseases, some a century or more old. The key is to use them together with several other things, each addressing one or another aspect of the disease process — and whatever you do, don’t sleep on your back!
and no certainty of a vaccine on the near horizon.
Over two million people around the world have received their first jab already, and the pace is accelerating as more manufacturers come into the final stretch toward approval around the world.
The fastest vaccine ever developed was for mumps. It took four years. COVID-19 killed 100,000 Americans in four months. There is some evidence that natural infection may not imply immunity,
...and there is now other evidence that the natural infection conveys immunity between six months and many years. The question then becomes how well the various vaccines convey immunity to mutations of the disease, which appears to mutate about as easily as the influenza virus, for which a new vaccine is available annually...
leaving some to question how effective a vaccine will be, even assuming one can be found. And it must be safe. If the global population is to be immunized, lethal complications in just one person in a thousand would imply the death of millions.
Thus far they’ve only seen the occasional case of non-lethal anaphylactic shock, easily treated with a shot of epinephrine. We’ll need to wait a year to see if it causes more lasting damage.

They certainly prevented transmission by preventing infection during testing.

-Land of the Free
Trump Just Pardoned Two Border Patrol Agents – Ramos and Compean – Who Shot Drug Cartel Courier
[PJMedia] President Trump pardoned two former U.S. Border Patrol agents involved in the chase and shooting of a Mexican narco mob drug mule who brought more than half a million dollars in marijuana across the border in 2005.

Though they were on the list of pardons, the pre-Christmas clemencies were little noticed by the media.

The case of Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean went kaboom! into public consciousness during their trial, when federal prosecutors gave the drug pusher — a Mexican national — immunity to testify against the border agents. The agents were each sentenced to more than ten years in prison for shooting at him—a shooting which they never officially noted in their reports of the case.

#1  Funny innit that the ratio of
1. claims made about Trump's supposedly authoritarian-warmongering-fascistic behavior
to
2. genuine actions of an authoritarian nature taken by Trump

is infinite.

Of all the presidents of the last forty years Trump is the ONLY ONE who did NOT involve us in a new foreign war.
He is the only one who has not gone out of his way to use the national security apparatus against his political opponents -- in fact it was they who used it against him and his aides and cabinet picks.
He is the only president since Johnson who did NOT call out the National Guard in the face of domestic rioting.

All of this restraint has occurred in the face of the most vile, disgusting, sustained assault on a sitting president for any of us has ever witnessed - including a rigged election, impeachment and preposterous, insane, absurd charges of acting as an agent of the Kremlin.

So now they're so spinning up yet another tornado of lies about him. These people are beneath contempt. At some point they need to be dealt with -- and no, not via one of their ridiculous rigged elections.

2011-2020: The Egyptian Armed Forces - A 10-year overhaul
[AlAhram] al-Ahram Weekly reviews the transformation of the military over the last decade

In the first half of the last decade the army backed the people in two grassroots revolutions, and in the second performed a complementary role to civilian bodies in fostering economic recovery, development, and growth. The army performed these ancillary functions with the same professionalism with which it protects the nation from dangers at home and abroad.

As an institution, the Armed Forces underwent a major transformation, implementing a comprehensive armament, training and development programme, expanding its capacities and honing the skills necessary to defend Egypt’s vital geostrategic interests.

The Grand Turk
What’s behind Erdogan’s statement that he wants better ties with Israel?
[Jpost] "If there were no issues at the top level (in Israel), our ties could have been very different."

President Tayyip Erdogan of The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...Qatar's satrapy in Asia Minor...
said on Friday that his country would like better ties with Israel but Israeli policy towards the Paleostinians remains "unacceptable."
Bummer.
"If there were no issues at the top level (in Israel), our ties could have been very different," he said, adding that the two countries continued to share intelligence. "We would have liked to bring our ties to a better point."
Better for whom?
But what is behind that statement?

Aykan Erdemir, senior director of the Turkey Program at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and a former member of the Ottoman Turkish parliament, told The Jerusalem Post that Erdogan has enjoyed good rapport with Trump, "who shielded him from tougher action, including sanctions demanded by both Republicans and Democrats in the US Congress."
True.
According to Erdemir, the Ottoman Turkish president, who is worried that the incoming Biden administration will be tougher on Turkey than the Trump administration has been, hopes to win favors through diplomatic posturing, "including a half-hearted outreach to Israel."
Very half-hearted.
"Erdogan also hopes that the chatter of a Ottoman Turkish-Israeli rapprochement will also disrupt the growing energy cooperation in the Eastern Mediterranean, which has deepened Ankara’s diplomatic isolation in the region," he noted. "Erdogan’s consistent anti-Israel track-record and antisemitic outbursts over the years will make it difficult for him to convince his Israeli counterparts that there is real substance to his outreach."
Given that there is no real substance, that would be difficult, yes.
He went on to say that Turkey and Israel have great potential to establish win-win relations in economic, diplomatic, and security fields, "but Erdogan’s Islamist fixations will prevent any trust-based cooperation. As long as Erdogan continues to offer Hamas, one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede, its most important base outside Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
, Israeli officials will remain wary of the Ottoman Turkish president’s overtures."

Soner Cagaptay, author of Erdogan’s Empire: Turkey and the Politics of the Middle East and senior fellow at the Washington Institute, told the Post that almost 10 years ago, Erdogan launched a new foreign policy, supporting Arab uprisings and also breaking with the US when and if necessary, and turning Turkey’s direction away from Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
to the Middle East. "The ultimate goal was to make Turkey a star power nation in the Middle East. That didn’t happen a decade later," he said.
*Snicker*
"Turkey today has fewer friends in the Middle East ever in recent memory. In fact, with the exception of Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi...
and half of Libya, he has no Middle Eastern friends. At the same time, it cannot rely on its traditional allies, Israel, US, or EU."

2020 Election Investigative Documentary: Who's Stealing America?
[ET] The year 2020 has been most unusual.

It started with an unprecedented global pandemic caused by the CCP virus, and it’s concluding with the U.S. presidential election, which has captivated the world.

On election night, on Nov. 3, an assortment of anomalies were observed, followed by a large number of specific allegations of election fraud. As the integrity of the election continued to be questioned and evidence continued to emerge, most mainstream media stuck to a one-sided narrative by calling the 2020 election the most secure in American history, and sought to silence opposing voices.

The results of the 2020 election will not only decide the future of the United States, but also determine the future of the world.

Following election night, The Epoch Times’ investigative team quickly went to work. In an attempt to uncover the issues behind the election, investigative reporter Joshua Phillip traveled across the country to swing states to interview whistleblowers, big data experts, and election experts.

This is the first investigative documentary published on election integrity in the 2020 U.S. presidential election.

Why was the vote count halted in key swing states on election night? What are the problems and potential fraud associated with mail-in ballots? Is Dominion Voting Systems secure or not? What lies behind the $400 million received by the parent company of Dominion Voting Systems less than a month before the election? Who is trying to manipulate the U.S. election behind the scenes? Who is the benefactor of an increasingly divided American society? What will become of America at this historical juncture?

What choice should you, I, and every American patriot make? The Epoch Times’ investigative team presents to you a detailed investigative report.

Is Anyone More Annoying or Treacherous than Barack Obama?
[Townhall] Okay, right off the bat, in the annoying category, Obama is tied with Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, and the usual Leftist gang of congressional idiots. At the moment, however, Obama has a louder megaphone. He is shooting his mouth off all over the place, for good reason. He knows that if Donald Trump somehow is re-inaugurated, the ongoing investigations into Russiagate are eventually going to lead to Obama himself and that such investigation will reveal his treachery.

At this very moment, Barack Obama
If you like your coverage you can keep it...
is highly knowledgeable about the level of Democrat election and voter fraud that took place this year. He has an intricate, inside knowledge of the ploys used by Leftist operatives. However, he is silent about the phenomenon. He is actively espousing the opposite, claiming that no significant fraud occurred and that Trump is making wild accusations (as per usual in Obama's world).

Is anything that Barack Obama says on the up-and-up? Is this monster of a politician to be believed? No. Not for a nanosecond.

A CRIMINAL THROUGH AND THROUGH
A red diaper baby, trained and guided to success by the organization, which he paid back by training ACORN activists — his generation’s version of Antifa/BLM — before he ran for office.
Obama is among the most criminal presidents we've ever endured. While his criminality has been exposed in many ways, pretty much only among conservative media outlets, thus far, he has not been indicted for anything. If Joe Biden assumes the presidency, everything that Obama did that was unconstitutional, illegal, and downright treasonous, would be buried, perhaps for all time. Also, he knows he can manipulate the cognitively impaired Biden at any time, and in any way that he desires.

More annoying, sure: AOC, Pelosi, Schiff..
More treacherous? Brennan, maybe Roberts.

But more annoying and treacherous? No. This ridiculously vain and stupid asshole takes the cake.

Zero's particular form of treachery is incredibly weaselly, cowardly, irritatingly smug.

If someone were chosen to play him in a Hollywood thriller, it would not be a typical leading man used for sleek or ruthless villains but a game show host, or one of those pretentious CNN fools.

Tell only lies...
[City Journal] The late Joseph P. Overton of the Mackinac Center stated that an idea must fall within a certain range of acceptability to be politically viable. The Overton Window, as this concept has come to be known, describes the range of publicly palatable ideas at a given time, and it applies not only to politicians but to the general public as well.

Recently, however, the rules have changed. Imagine that you’re throwing darts at a dartboard. You intend to hit certain sections and avoid others. You throw a bunch of darts and manage to hit your targets. Now, suppose that some other people come along and shift the rules of the game, changing which sections earn and lose points. In fact, they specifically make sure that your score has changed so that you lose points. Turns out that, under the new rules, you’re a bad dart player.

The Overton Window has become the Overton dartboard. Every day, people throw darts at a board—each tweet, post, and public statement is aimed at hitting a mark. And each new moral fashion offers the opportunity to change their scores.

In addition to considering whether what we say now might violate current fashion, we must anticipate whether the rules of the game will change again soon and that what we say today might get used against us later. Further, we must consider whether what we said in the past might be used against us now.

Per New "Delightful Study" Simeons 🐒 and Homo sapiens 🤔 Dislike Lost Effort <- Your Govt $ at Work ?
[ScienceAlert] Delightful Study Finds Monkeys Hate Sunk Costs as Much as Humans Do

We're naturally reluctant to abandon something we've sunk time, effort, and money into, even when the best option is to just walk away – and it turns out that monkeys feel exactly the same, according to a new study.

This "sunk costs" phenomenon can apply to our relationships, home improvements, books, video games, car repairs, side hustles, TV shows, and plenty more besides. We keep going because we're already invested, even when it becomes self-defeating.

That the same trait is noticeable in the capuchin monkeys and rhesus macaques in this study suggests there's something deep in our evolutionary past that convinces us to try and recover a reward from our sunk costs, no matter how unlikely it is to happen.

"These results show that sunk cost effects can arise in the absence of human-unique factors and may emerge, in part, because persisting can resolve uncertainty," write the researchers in their published paper.

In this study, the animals were asked to follow a moving target on a computer screen with a joystick. If they managed to track it, they got a reward; if they didn't, a new round started, and they could try again.

Rounds lasted for 1, 3, or 7 seconds (a single second actually seems a lot longer to a monkey), and most rounds lasted for just 1 second. In other words, if the monkeys didn't get a treat after the first second, it was better to quit and start a new round to get a reward as soon as possible.

The monkeys typically carried on, though. This effect was especially noticeable for the seven macaques, but the 26 capuchins struggled to let go as well. If the animals got a signal that more work was needed for a reward, the sunk cost behaviour was less frequent, but it was still evident.

The researchers say this shows that the chasing of sunk costs is something we've evolved to do, and is a deep instinct we share with a lot of species. The same phenomenon has also been demonstrated in studies of pigeons and rats before.

"They persisted five to seven times longer than was optimal," says neuroscientist Sarah Brosnan, from Georgia State University. "The longer they had already tried, the more likely they were to complete the entire task."

The monkeys' behaviour also shows that specifically human factors – our ability to rationalise, or our need to maintain our public reputation – may not play a huge role in our tendency to persist with something for too long.

The unintended consequences of marijuana decriminalization in the US
[AlAhram] Even though marijuana is still illegal for people under 21, evidence is emerging that decriminalization is increasing the number of kids who consume weed illegally

America's decades-long war on drugs disproportionately harmed minorities. Now, it seems that decriminalization of marijuana hasn't leveled the playing field.

Black men are 12 times more likely than white men to spend time incarcerated in the United States. College enrollment for black men has declined since the 1986 Anti-Drug Abuse Act went into effect.

Tennessee Data for Masked vs. Unmasked Counties
[Townhall] Here in Tennessee, one of the few states without a statewide mask-mandate, much pressure has been placed upon Republican Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee to "do something." Since lockdowns are thankfully for the most part out of the question here, the pressure has centered on establishing that mandate the mask-Karens have been longing for. Even former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, a medical doctor, has gotten in on the action, begging Lee to pull the trigger in a Facebook post earlier this month that blamed rising case numbers not on the winter months when such viruses always tend to spread, but on supposedly unmasked rural counties.

Over the allotted period, counties with mask mandates saw 4.7% of their population infected while those without them saw a 4.6% infection rate. Interestingly, Hawkins County, which let its mandate expire at the end of September, had 4.3% of its population infected, while Carter County had 5.1% infected with a mandate in place. Both have nearly identical populations.

When you combine this Tennessee data with Rational Ground's data from Florida and masked vs unmasked states nationwide that I wrote about in last week's column, the picture is increasingly clear. It's time to face the fact that mask mandates DO NOT WORK to stop or even slow the spread of COVID-19.

#6  Masks do not prevent the virus infecting you.

Covering the eyes would be vastly more effective.

Masks stop quite a bit of particles larger than the virus exhaled into in the air, but not enough to make any difference.

When masks were first mandated they were for "re-assurance".

Interesting aside. We tend to eat more fat during the winter. I wonder does a lower fat diet mean less lung problems if infected?
