1- I’ve been drawn back to renewed fascination with the Bay of Pigs / Cuban Missile Crises.

I guess because in 1962 we nearly killed killed millions globally; whereas, in 2020 we (the human race) managed to do it (cont).
2- One of the weird similarities is how the the deep state managed to create a fiasco across an outgoing / incoming Administration. Almost as if that’s the optimal time to do crazy shit.
3- Another interesting parallel is that JFK campaigned on aggressively fighting communism, accusing Eisenhower / Nixon of being too soft on the USSR aka “Red Menace”.

Once he became president JFK was trapped by his own campaign rhetoric.

4- JFK very nearly lost control of the war hawks he placed and empowered in his own cabinet (McNamara, Bundy, Rusk, Taylor, etc), based on his campaign rhetoric.

Read this to see how close JFK came to the inmates taking over the asylum. Chilling.

5- Now think about how Joe “I will shut down the virus” Biden campaigned.

He also enabled crazy generals, only in this case it was the healthcare czars (most notably Fauci).

Like JFK, Biden is trapped in his own tough talk campaign rhetoric.
6- However, there are big differences. JFK was young, smart, & tough. He also had Bobby Kennedy, who was equally smart & who JFK could 100% trust.
7- Biden, on the other hand, is old, dumb, and weak.

And who does Joe have around him that he can absolutely, 100% trust? His grifter family members? Nope.

His inner circle? You think Psaki, Klain, etc. aren’t figuring out their Biden-less political future?

His VP. Lol.
8- In Biden’s case the inmates took over the asylum and we’re fighting an enemy (in this case a virus) we don’t fully understand and continually underestimate.
9- The answer likely lies in understanding the origins of COVID. You can’t defeat what you don’t understand.

But… The answers likely lead back to the same inmates now running the asylum. So don’t hold your breath.

1- "To say I was ready or prepared for my test result to come back positive would be an understatement. It happened so quickly and I am thankful to be vaccinated and healthy."

This is a testament to mass PR and obedience if ever there was one (cont).

nsnews.com/coronavirus-co…
2- First of all, this doesn't sound like a mild cold.

It's a breakthrough case, of course. Image
3- "The vaccine was worse than the disease" may not be the message the author thought it was.

Also, she did everything right including "follow the pandemic orders". Yes, always follow orders. Because of course. Image

1- "The result could well encourage responsible Americans to get on with their lives while allowing recalcitrant vaccine refusers to face the consequences of their reckless conduct."

Sure @JRubinBlogger - Never mind people who over-eat, don't exercise, smoke & drink (cont).
2- The selective morality & excusing of all life-style choices except skepticism of dumping unproven drugs into your body aside...

... This is still an admisison that vaccine mandates are worthless.
3- In essence, this is "Let COVID spread, the sophisticated & unvaccinated crowd will be fine. The unclean hoosiers in Indiana, well so be it."

1- “At least three Labour frontbenchers including Rachel Reeves are among a string of MPs to have tested positive for Covid this week..”

Welp (cont).

theguardian.com/politics/2021/…
2- “Two more Labour MPs – Emma Hardy and Feryal Clark – are isolating, while two Tory MPs – Darren Henry and Dean Russell – also revealed they would be missing the debate and votes because they had tested positive. The SNP’s Douglas Chapman is also isolating.”

All is well.
3- “With so many absences, Peter Grant, an SNP MP, raised concerns about MPs continuing to crowd together through the lobbies in the House of Commons on Wednesday.”

Yeah, this might be … dumb.

1- "..the Heat only had 10 players available because of injuries and one COVID-19 case and the Bulls were down to 11 because of a larger COVID outbreak within the team."

This is becoming unsustainable (cont).

2- "Chicago coach Billy Donovan said Saturday, “We’ve got a lot of guys sitting at home with no symptoms right now.”

Maybe COVID isn't the problem. Maybe thinking crappy vaccines stop COVID is the problem. Maybe testing nonstop is the problem.
3- "Wing Caleb Martin is also asymptomatic, Spoelstra indicated, and will likely have to sit out until Dec. 21, even though he and every one of his teammates has their booster shots, in addition to being fully vaccinated."

Boosters @NBA virtually mandated didn't move the dial.

1- "..his job approval rating lagging across a range of major issues, including new lows for his handling of crime, gun violence and the economic recovery, a new ABC/Ipsos poll finds."

Not to mention one foreign policy disaster & more in the queue (cont).
2- "As the White House confronts rising and widespread concern about inflation, Americans are especially negative on how the Biden administration is managing this issue."

In part because they see the contempt @PressSec has for the plebs. She is a disaster.
3- "More than two-thirds of Americans (69%) disapprove of how Biden is handling inflation (only 28% approve) while more than half (57%) disapprove of his handling of the economic recovery."

Nobody is buying BBB either. But they persist.

1- Ok this is dumb.

"Blue America, by contrast, has taken Covid seriously. Fewer than 10 percent of Democratic voters have not received a vaccine shot. Political liberals also tend to be comfortable wearing masks to reduce the spread of the Covid virus."

nytimes.com/2021/12/10/bri…
2- There is a difference between taking COVID seriously & vaccine skepticism.

@DLeonhardt and his ilk can't even see this, much less acknowledge it; even as the call for more & more boosters borders on comical.
3- Mask skepticism is another case of following data that shows no value in stopping transmission.

If anyone believes differetly, refute the hundreds of graphs @ianmSC publishes every month showing transmission unfazed time & again by mask mandates. I'll wait.
