Thread…

A few months ago I had a very nice talk with ESPN’s Holly Rowe @sportsiren at the premiere of @AmericanUnderdg & we exchanged email about the “Penn State” fiasco.

Today, she did a report on the obviously fake BYU/Duke “N-word” incident without a hint of skepticism.

Very disappointed, I immediately sent her a very polite, pointed, and detailed email about why I strongly believe she was duped by a false claim of overt racism against the BYU fans.

Here is the first half of that email which I sent to Rowe…

Here is what we are apparently supposed to believe about what happened in the racist BYU/Duke volleyball incident:

A white man repeatedly used a racial slur (possibly the N-word) to heckle a black Duke player and threatened her in front of a large crowd.

Somehow…

This outrage was allowed to go on & no one made any effort to videotape it, because, after all BYU is mostly white/racist, so this is what is to be expected.

Also, the racist just happened to target a player who, based on her Twitter, is VERY convinced we’re racist country &

10 years ago tonight, legendary Penn State F-ball coach Joe Paterno & PSU president Graham Spanier were unjustly fired based on a grand jury report full of HUGE holes. This thread exposes just some of the things which if they’d been known then would’ve stopped this injustice.

It all centered on the story of Mike Mcqueary allegedly “witnessing” the “rape” of a then unknown boy 10 yrs before. What if we’d known MM was telling the AG his words were being twisted, she was admitting the media was getting it wrong & his testimony would never claim this?

Heres a thread using math, logic & current USA data to show rather conclusively that the notion “99%” of COVID deaths are of the unvaccinated is FALSE.

1 of the very few reliable guides throughout COVID has been that if you take...

The current 7-day ave of cases, in 3 weeks, the 7-day ave of deaths will be between 1-2% of 1st number. Over time, the death rate has dropped closer to 1% of positive tests.

So let’s compare this current surge to that which began the winter wave, which was 100% unvaccinated.

The Ziegler family made our much-anticipated post-opening return to @Disneyland

Most of the park isn’t THAT dumb. About 20% of adults & 25% of kids are masked. Most things are open & theres little forced social distancing, except, absurdly, in the section for little kids...

In “Toontown” each major character has their own house which is now closed because there are too many “touch points” (not a COVID threat) even though there’re open rides which are centered around everyone touching the same places.

But that’s NOT the worst of COVID insanity.
