WE ARE BEING BAMBOOZLED

This Shambling and Shameful and Shambolic Shamdemic

So look at where we are. This virus is new enough that we don’t even have a vaccine for it yet. We don’t have a vaccine for this pest, but we already have an hardened orthodoxy concerning it. Apparently orthodoxies are easier to come up with than vaccines. The Truth is apparently well known enough that the establishment experts are already submitting a statement of faith on this virus to the college of cardinals, to which all public expressions must heretofore conform. And that’s how you win an argument with an irreverent heretic.

IT’S DÉJÀ VU ALL OVER AGAIN. Joe Biden Promises to ‘Transform This Nation’ in Accepting Bernie’s Endorsement.

“Biden insisted he would beef up America’s social safety net, ‘make sure that health care is made accessible and affordable to every American,’ provide a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, and combat ‘structural racism.’ He blamed that ‘structural racism’ for ‘this godawful situation at which African Americans and Latinos suffer most at the hands of the coronavirus.'”

QUARANTINE THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT. Dr. Anthony Fauci: China misled the world; virus erupted in mid-December

Dr. Fauci, an influential member of President Trump’s coronavirus task force, told the Fox News show “Watters’ World” over the weekend that as the disease spread to more people in mid-January in Wuhan and the surrounding Hubei province, the Chinese government said that human contagion was minimal, a fact that shaped for weeks the outside world’s sense of the danger and the appropriate response.

Both assertions were “clearly not correct … that was misinformation right from the beginning,” he said. COVID-19 was, in fact, a highly contagious and deadly disease.

TODAY IS GOOD FRIDAY. TAKE TIME TO REFLECT ON WHAT THE DEATH OF JESUS CHRIST ACCOMPLISHED.

You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die.

what do you suppose they’re hiding?

Recovery law allows Fed to rope off public as it spends billions.

“Tucked into the recent recovery bill was a provision granting the Federal Reserve the right to set up a $450 billion bailout plan without following key provisions of the federal open meetings law, including announcing its meetings or keeping most records about them, according to a POLITICO review of the legislation.

[…]

“The provision dispenses with a longstanding accountability rule that the board has to give at least one day’s notice before holding a meeting. Experts say the change could lead to key information about the $450 billion bailout fund, such as which firms might benefit from the program, remaining inaccessible long after the bailout is over.”

I HOPE HE’S DONE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, BUT THE DAMAGE IS DONE. Bernie bows out

“Few would deny that over the course of the past five years, our movement has won the ideological struggle,” Sanders said on Wednesday. “It was not long ago that people considered these ideas radical and fringe. Today, they are mainstream ideas. Many of them are already being implemented in cities and states across the country.”

Each morning I’ll link three or four stories that I think are important, interesting or both. Right now I’m playing around with the formatting and functionality that the WordPress platform offers. I’ll eventually land on one, so enjoy the variety for the time being. If you see a format that works for you, please leave a comment.

TOM DEMPSEY, RIP. Tom Dempsey, NFL kicker who set a record for the longest field goal, dies of coronavirus. I remember reading as a kid about his record field goal.
