Quoted For Truth

Angus has a couple of short posts re: Ukraine over at his blog.

Perennial commenters can cool their fingers: he has blocked comments, to avoid the inevitable anonymous flame war that will ensue, to a metaphysical certainty.

Rabid knuckleheads (you know who you are) can expect similar treatment here.

We link both posts, because he's batting 1.000 on both of them. A+.

Go. Read. Absorb.

I wish both sides could lose

I think it's a hollow threat

What does Ukraine get out of this:

Shafted.

Fucked over.

Devastated and permanently crippled economically and demographically.

Hung out to dry.

A shred of their former existence.

If Russia decides to call a pause, which is by no means certain, nor even likely.

What does Russia get out of this:

Exposed as a paper tiger.

Hundreds of thousands of dead.

Half their ground combat power destroyed, which will take decades to replace.

A century as a diplomatic pariah.

Proof that crime pays.

The knowledge that they can get away with this the next time they're bulked up.

A third of the former Ukraine.

What does the U.S. get out of this:

Peace with dishonor.

Identified worldwide as a buddy-fucker nation who will throw anyone under the bus if it's expedient, diplomatic assurances be damned.

Watching nuclear proliferation become a growth industry worldwide, especially among the nations who really shouldn't ever get one. But we can't unring that bell. You will see this material again.

There's also little reason for Russia to stop now, and it's unlikely either the US or Ukraine will ever swap any minerals out of the ground for cash until  - if ever - the war knocks off.

Trump has zero leverage over Russia now, and Putin has every reason to laugh at any "deal" we suggest.

This is what happens when checkers players play geopolitical chess.

They're all about now, and not so much about the next five things that today doesn't just make possible, it makes inevitable.

POTUS' new callsign should be Shaft.

And not in a Richard Roundtree/Samuel Jackson way.

Well-played, President Chamberlain.
The last time someone pulled off a diplomatic coup like this,
Czechoslovakia found out they didn't really need the Sudetenland.
And that worked out so  well down the line, for everyone.

UPDATE: Angus has more to say on the topic.

The argument is that our security assurances to Ukraine were all a PR stunt, with fake provisions and promises.

Okay, it was all a sham.

But you can't have your cake, and eat it too.

Fake agreements have consequences, and Clintonian word-parsing doersn't unring the bell that the U.S. is underlining, in Ukrainian blood, that we're a buddy-fucker nation, with no intention of following through on any promises we make. You can't say to any number of other nations now, "Oh we were just funning around with those Russian puppets in Ukraine, but our assurances to you are totally different, and you can count on us when SHTF. No, really, we mean it!"

Nobody anywhere on the planet would buy that any more than they'd sell the family cow for Magic Beans.

All you're doing is saying Trump's just following through on the lies of Slick Willy, and the failure to act of Obozo. That's a helluva way to make what we're doing okay. It's an option, sure, but generally, you don't double down on bullshit and ineptitude to prove you're doing right by the country.

And if you do, you're saying we're bullshit and lame, and proud of it.

That has consequences.

And BTW, we didn't get Ukraine to hand over their nukes for nothing but a song and dance. We PAID them to do so, on the strength of those bullshit fake promises, and we even hid the fact, because we didn't want to be on the hook to have to pay Belarus for doing the same thing.

And FTR, when you pay someone to do something, and promise you'll do something in return, and then don't do what you promised, that's called perpetrating a fraud. The fact that you promised it with your fingers crossed doesn't undo the fraudulence.

Using the defense later that "we were just being lying crooks" isn't going to cut any ice with other nations whom we expect to honor their agreements with us, with a straight face.

Countries, like people, only get the reputation they deserve.

Ours is as lying backstabbers, and flying that flag proudly is something we're going to pay more for in the long run than whatever it would cost to keep sending military equipment to Ukraine now, for the short-term, with or without a deal for minerals we'll never see.

When Ukraine delivers nothing, because Vlad isn't going to let that happen either, Ukraine is perfectly justified in saying "Hey, we're liars too; you should be familiar with that concept, since it's how you've always dealt with us."

And every other nation has wised up as well. Some will make appropriate preparations, knowing the US isn't going to be there when it counts.

And some of them are going to take Trump at his behavior, not his word, and drift into Russia's sphere of influence even more.

Well-played, President Chamberlain. This is paying dividends on dividends, and will continue to bite us in the ass worldwide for decades to centuries. We elected Trump, and we're getting Clinton and Obozo as a bonus.

Best wishes selling that to the American electorate in 2028. "Vote for the non-Clinton party with extra Clinton filling! Good luck telling us apart!" That'll play in Peoria.

Which, BTW, is why public opinion of Trump's behavior on this point is running heavily against him. Lincoln's comments about not fooling all of the people all of the time are proving extraordinarily resilient, regardless of political affiliation.

Now, if someone wants to argue that our mendacity - however justified currently - isn't going to have major consequences, both at home and abroad, I wish them the best of luck with that argument. My argument all along is that doing the wrong thing - which is now official policy, and maybe always was - is going to be hugely worse than doing the right thing. Turns out DOGE isn't the only government entity showing what lying fuck-ups the US government is. POTUS has decided to illustrate the point as well.

I still maintain that the hardest wounds to heal are cleat marks one makes in their own junk.

Proving that probably shouldn't be official US policy, but here we are.

Using Retard Logic Is Never A Good Look

h/t WRSA

WRSA has posted some great memes today, as they do every day. This example is not one of them. It IS a new winner of the Biff Tannen "Make Like A Tree" Award, for Stupidest Meme Attempt We've Seen. So we have helpfully FIFY, by appending the right half to it, below.

The enemy of intelligence is not your friend. And Guilt By Association is a logical fallacy.

This is also why we always sign our efforts. Someone anonymously posted a 60-IQ masterpiece, which WRSA picked up, and that creator is totally not getting the stupidity credit for it they richly deserve. 

Que lastima.

Some People Just Need A Helpful Boot In The Ass To Straighten Them Out

Verily, hubris doth make assbags of us all. Whom gods destroy, they first make mad.

 

Oh, you were finished? Well, allow us to retort:

h/t Peter

iHeart Radio Retards

This is small potatoes, but we keep hearing the same ad for one of the channels of iHeart radio on several conservative talk stations hereabouts, and it's like fingernails on a chalkboard every time they play it.

For the ad in question, the copy reader they have (sounds like Rich Marotta, formerly a KFI radio sports guy) tells you earnestly that Shirley Bassey nailed the soundtrack for 1971's Goldfinger with the title track: Diamonds Are Forever.

> Blinks. SMH. <

Layers and layers of editors. The entire internet at your fingertips, mouseclicks away. Presumptively, at least a high school diploma (albeit probably a Common Core education).

Which last is how the embarassingly dopey announcer reading that commercial, the brainless fucktard who wrote it, and whatever 80-IQ editor/producer OK'ed it, all stomped all over their own dicks with cleats on, because 

1) Goldfinger was released in 1964.

2) The theme, unsurprisingly, was titled "Goldfinger".

3) Diamonds Are Forever was released in 1971.

4) Again, in another remarkable coincidence, the theme was called "Diamonds Are Forever".

So in the entire ad, the only thing they got right was that the singer of the theme (for either flick) was Shirley Bassey (which is true in both cases, and also for Moonraker), marking the only time the producers of the James Bond films gave someone any second or third title songs in the entire history of cinematic Bond flicks, some 27 in total to date.

We fully realize that to the millennial generation, anything that happened before the year 2000 is conflated in a gelatinous glob in some dark recess of their memory along with trench warfare, cuneiform writing on clay tablets, and dinosaurs, in a mental junk drawer category in their heads called "all that boring shit I never learned and will never need to know", but this is recockulous overachievement of gross stupidity in public that usually requires a senile House Speaker or faux president to pull off so effortlessly. Doubly so for a guy who worked for decades in radio in the only city in America where the number one industrial product is movies, followed closely by music production.

We mention this because it could have been looked up by any earnest midwit, at any point prior to getting aired, and corrected, but in their haste to try and get you to listen to their internet radio streaming service (and thus, their advertisers' copy) they forgot to use the internet themselves, and find out how roundly they'd fucked up that commercial from beginning to end.

And they've run the ad hundreds of times, and keep running it, because they're too stupid to know what they don't know.

Maybe we're crazy, but we think if you're going to pimp your streaming radio, and spew factoids about one of the most successful and popular film franchises in human history, we would suspect doing so by f**king it up by the numbers, with your head firmly clenched between your nethers, probably isn't the brightest way to tout what a great and informative music service you're running.

And it's running on radio stations that would like you to believe they get the important details about politics right. Pay no attention to our advertising copy though.

Maybe someone could get word to either Rich Marotta, iHeart, or the remains of the EIB network, and suggest they all take their feet off their junk?

Putting the "Anal" In Analysis

You are a NO GO at the Tall Enough
 For The Internet station, bumpkin.

If you're going to take a whack at derpsplaining things on the Internet that are clearly beyond your basic grasp, maybe - just spitballing, mind you - some folks should pull back on their heads first until they hear a loud popping noise, and it suddenly gets brighter and easier to breathe.

Case in point:

This soopergenius codswallop from some halfwit who knows Jack and Shit about what he opines upon.

"Crooks’ canted his rifle to the left — which means the ejection port was facing to the left at about an 11 o’clock position — for the first three shots."

For the three non-gun-inclined folks reading that, and thus not falling about themselves on the ground in paroxysms of laughter, we post a reminder pic of a typical AR-15-style weapon: 

From this one pic, we can state authoritatively that this Internet Soopergenius has clearly cracked the case on how Rooftop Retard could miss anything as large as Trump from within Wrist-Rocket range:

That's because to "cant the rifle to the left" and get the ejection port to face 11 o'clock, Crooks would have to hold the rifle almost upside down.

Nice analysis, Dipshit.

(Unless he was holding the rifle assbackwards, and pointing it at himself. But were that the case, we don't think he'd have managed to fire 8 shots into himself, as the first one would have done the job it took the authorities several seconds to accomplish. So yeah, no, you're still an ignorant idiot for making this entire suggestion.)

Let's help Dr. Derpalot out, since he's obviously never fired anything resembling an AR-15/M-16 rifle in his life, and we'll use bright colors to point out reality:

So to eject cases to the left, by canting the rifle, Crooks would be holding that pistol grip at or beyond the 2 o'clock position, 2/3rds of the way (120° out of 180°) to completely inverted.

Odds that's what really happened: a gajillion to one, against. Duh. As GED dropouts in any ten basic training platoons could have told you in 0.2 seconds, going back only 50+ years to about 1966.

Maybe Dr. Derpalot should bone up on physics and common effing sense, not to mention basic riflery. Just a thought. In his dictionary, the word "beclowned" just has a mirror mounted in the column.

Just saying...

Don't quit your day job, Homer.

And maybe don't talk about things you're totally unfamiliar with, because then you won't be putting an ice pack on your wedding tackle every day, after you trample it with cleats on.

And if you're linking or excerpting this kind of ass-tastic analysis on your blog for anything but comedy relief, you probably need an ice pack for your own junk too, on a regular basis.

But thanks for a lay-up post for today. Those fish in the barrel weren't going to shoot themselves.

Blogging: Much easier if these are not your default footwear.

Another Biff Tannen Award Winner

We cut off and screened out the ownership bars on the meme we boxed in red above to spare calling individual names. Suffice it to say you've probably seen it recently. The implication is that it's used to fake (_fill-in-the-blank_) photo ops.

Um, no.

1) Hot tip for retards: The VC-25/747s converted into the current versions of Air Force One have the 747's distinctive nose-end hump. The 707, above, doesn't. The interior of the current model is also about eight feet wider than a 707 fuselage. So any faked photos, taken inside or out, would be obvious to even Stevie Wonder, from space, FFS.

2) The former Air Force One 707s (including the front fuselage section, above) are still classified for obvious national security concerns. The 707 at the Reagan Library is only there "on-loan", and security on it is still overseen by the Secret Service.

3) The staircases and entries on the current version look absolutely nothing like the old version's entry.

4) I can only think of 57 reasons military units and the Secret Service might want to retain that fuselage, inside an intensely secure location like Camp David for everyday protective detail training, hostage rescue/counter-terrorism training, planning and walking through medical emergency response, etc. ad infinitum.

We could continue ripping this dippy meme, but these points alone should suffice to show why someone would have to be snacking on leaded paint chips to come up with it.

If any of this was news to you, go ask your parents to explain why you're not tall enough for the internet.

And to the creator of this jackassical meme, as the most recent recipient, own your Biff Tannen "Make Like A Tree, And Go Away" Award, and walk tall among midwits.

Better luck next time.

If anyone's going to bitch about "fake and ghey", the actual fake has been the guy walking up the steps of the real presidential 747 for the last 4 years.

Goose, Meet Sauce

Many of you have seen this douchebadge online recently:

Captured widely before he deleted it.

Seems Matt thinks the internet works only one way. Pisser.

So I had a little look around. !!!

Linkie

Meet Matt Croyle. He is an elected official in Pennsylvania. Even worse, he’s a state constable. After being exposed for posting threatening messages about Trump supporters, he deleted his X account. I went to his Facebook, where he’s still active, & found a post where he wished an assassination attempt against Trump. I did some more digging & it appears he’s a fan of democrat Governor Shapiro, too. Spoke with the Pennsylvania Constable office & the Oil City Police Department, as well as sent an email w/ the threatening messages. Perhaps, he deserves a Secret Service visit, too. It would be a shame if this went viral.

Yes, that's all correct. it turns out that Matthew J. Croyle, 47, of Oil City PA was elected to a 6-year term as a state constable, from Ward 1 in Oil City, PA, last December 27. Which is a badged-and-sworn LEO elected job with some rather oddball quasi-police duties in PA. 

Bonus factoid: Once you explore PA constables, now you know where the Keystone Kops comedy trope idea came from.

Linkie

But wait! there's more!

Show me the man, and I'll show you the crime.

I'm sure this is just the sort of thing local, state, and federal officials, not to mention all the local and regional papers, would like to know about Mr. Croyle, and just the sort of behavior they and the citizenry encourage in elected state officials.

I think it's also pretty clear who the pissed-off far-left whackadoodle is in this episode.

Just a wild hunch, but I'm sure the local, county, and state officials in that part of Pennsylvania (Venango County, PA: 58% Republican) would loooooove to read all about what an unhinged lunatic the folks of Oil City have elected as a State Constable, and what sort of nutjobbery he's been up to online this week.

That's before any reports to the Secret Service. Right?

I'm sure those folks will fall about the place laughing, knowing that a badged and sworn PA state LEO thinks whackadoodles taking potshots at former presidents and current presidential candidates is amusing. Because they're so well-known for their love of that kind of knee-slapping hijinks.

Be a good citizen.

They might think it's a good idea to have a sit-down convo with Mr. Croyle every time President Trump drops into the Keystone State between now and November. It's a battleground state, so Mr. Croyle may become an awfully popular fellow for the feds to have chats with this summer and fall.

BTW, the Wikipedia page for PA State Constables has a lengthy list of the recent former ones thrown out of office for various crimes and misdeeds. Imagine that.

There may be good cause for a Red Flag order too. Croyle sounds a wee bit unhinged. Stranger things have happened.

Feel free to contact the local newspapers and TV stations in nearby Pittsburgh:

There's also the ABC affiliate in Erie, PA.

Maybe Friday is a slow news day for some of them.

Let's hope Mr. Croyle enjoys his covfefe as much as his coffee, and has an interesting month or two.

BTW, if you imagine me struggling to stay upright in my chair as I typed this, while convulsing in laughter, you wouldn't be too far off the mark.

This Is Why Retards Won't Sign Their Memes

As found multiple places this past week or so:

Nota bene: Retards never sign their memes.
Like with this one.

Dear Lazy Common Core Grad and (probably actual racist) Ignorant Fucktwat:

We realize you probably graduated at the top of your pledge class with a D+ average, but to help your bankrupt fund of information, allow us to present:

George Washington Carver inventor, author and professor

Holder of three patents, author of 44 agricultural bulletins, including How To Grow The Peanut and 105 Ways Of Preparing It For Human Consumption, as well as bulletins that detailed how to rehabilitate the soil of Southern states overplanted with cotton, by rotating crops like sweet potatoes, cowpeas, alfalfa, wild plum, and tomatoes, as well as bulletins on cotton itself, raising poultry, hogs, dairying, ornamental plants, preserving meat in hot weather, and nature study in schools, while heading the Department of Agriculture at the Tuskegee Institute for 47 years, until his death in 1943. For his life, work, and contributions to agriculture, he was honored with degrees, museums, having his likeness on U.S. coinage, postage stamps, having a Liberty ship named after him, as well as numerous schools, parks, and plant species.

Charles R. Drew Physician, medical professor, medical pioneer and inventor

Did his doctoral thesis on extending the usefulness of collected blood, which research was applied to the collection of both plasma and whole blood, saving thousands of lives during WW II in both Britain and the U.S. First African-American to earn a Doctorate of Medical Science. Became the director of the first American Red Cross Blood Bank, pioneering the concept, and also inventing the bloodmobile, for mobile collection of blood products. Literally responsible for saving millions of lives worldwide from 1940-five minutes ago, ad infinitum.

Garrett Morgan Inventor

Invented the modern traffic signal, to prevent serious traffic accidents.

Patricia Bath  Physician and inventor

Holder of 5 patents, including the first laser that allowed for laser correction of cataracts.

Daniel Hale Williams Physician, surgeon, and medical pioneer

Performed the first successful open heart surgery, in 1893.

I hold no brief, nor apologize for innumerable Dindus and wastes of skin and oxygen on this continent going back to about 1610, whose sole contribution to America or life in general is countless coroner's cases, and a prodigious amount of FAFO medals and Darwin Award nominations. I am second to no one when it comes to pointing and laughing at their boundless Clowncarnucopia of Fail. Dogpile on them all you want. We do, every chance we get.

But to be wholly ignorant of the above examples, and any dozen or two more, is to pull one's own trousers down, and spank their own ass in public, for the whole world to see. We learned of the first three of those in grade school, long before woketarded PC became a thing, when Nixon was president, FFS! Crack a friggin' book!

Somebody wants to change the original fucktarded meme from black to Sub-Saharan African inventions and technological advancements, go ahead on.

But anybody posting the original, as found, ought to see to a tourniquet for their dicks, to staunch the blood flow caused by their own cleats.

Check yourself, before you wreck yourself. Word to your mother. We yell because we care.

Oopsie: Confirmation Bias Is Hard On Your Wedding Tackle

Splashed all over the Rightosphere in the last day, and aging rather poorly, with scalded hands all around for the confirmationally sloppy:

As found, multiple places.

Natzsofast, Guido. Five Pinocchios awarded.

Wikipedia: Highgrove House

As the property is owned by the Duchy of Cornwall, control of the House was transferred to William, Prince of Wales, when his father acceded to the throne and he became Duke of Cornwall on 8 September 2022. The King and Queen will lease the house from the Duchy to use as a country residence.

So tell me @JoseyWales, do you feel stupid?

Maybe next time you're going to spread patent horseshit, pick some house in West Palm Beach, or Monaco, etc. Probably best not to pick a house so famous it has its own entire Wikipedia page, nor one that draws 40,000 visitors a year to the private garden tours, right? Just saying.

And getting trolled by Russian propaganda so hamfistedly dopey even the fucktards at Snopes could spot it?!? Epic, man. Truly epic. Walk tall. Probably want to shut down your internet account for a month or two, and take a fishing trip until this all blows over.

I'm open to discussion on any wild contention, if anyone can cite something more authoritative than "Sumdood on the Internet, with sooper-secret inside scoop", versus that bastion of accuracy™, the one internet platform that any one of 8 Billion people can add information to with a couple of keystrokes.

But until something more substantive than Sumdood makes an appearance, some folks should probably take the fish hook out of their own cheek, slap a CAT-T around their jangly bits, avoid grabbing hot stoves with both hands, and give friend Timmy a listen regarding some wisdom he'd like to share with them:

In other news, Zelensky hasn't purchased Hearst Castle, the Vatican, nor Buckingham Palace, nor has he given the Hope Diamond to his wife Olena, either; it's still on display at the Smithsonian in Washington D.C. But thanks for providing some welcome comedy relief today. 🤣

And for those who posted this horseshit (we aren't calling names off the roll), but won't either pull it entirely, or at least admit belatedly that you got bamboozled by Russian propaganda, this one's for you:

That isn't pee in your underpants.
Check yourself, before you wreck yourself.
We point and laugh because we care.
And it's a bit late to try the "We didn't know this was bullshit" excuse.
Assuming you can still tell the difference.

Narrative Whiplash

h/t WRSA

When somebody's bullshit narrative whips around on itself 180°, so fast that they first step on their junk with cleats hard enough to make it bleed, and then continue so rapidly that they run right up their own ass headfirst, they have suffered a catastrophic Narrative Whiplash.

Usually that kind of thing hurts:

Or at least, it ought to.

Some of the more obvious previous historical examples are things like "We had to destroy the village in order to save it", "Globull Warming/GlobullCooling/Climate Change/Weather", "White hispanic", and "We can't afford $4B to build a wall, but we can afford $200B to take care of an army of illegal aliens".

Occam's Razor says that when you sound crazier than a shithouse rat, and have to flop around like a live fish in a frying pan to try and contort delusion into reality, you're done, and it's best to just admit you were full of shit all along, fess up to being caught at it, and slither away without adding further embarrassment.

Stolen Elections Have Consequences

 h/t (and lifted wholesale from) WRSA

That would be 52% of the states in the republic, if you're keeping score at home.

In today's echo of History That Was, Emperor Poopypants has elected to play the part of the Redcoat commander, marching on Lexington and Concord. We await his arrival at Concord Bridge with no small amount of glee.

Twenty-five Republican governors (so far) have issued a joint statement calling out Emperor Poopypants' dereliction of duty and refusal to uphold the Constitution, by allowing the unmitigated invasion of the United States through Mexico, and supporting Texas' position on self-defense unequivocally.

"Word to your mother, Joe: If you fuck with one of us, you fuck with ALL of us."

No word on how hard Vermont Gov. Phil Scott's arm is being twisted to make this unanimous among the 27 (R) governors, but if you're in the neighborhood, you might hear shoulder bones cracking.

At least 17 of those states have sent material support and/or their own NG personnel to assist Texas in staunching the flow of illegals into America. This has now snowballed beyond the point where TX Gov. Abbott can easily self-sabotage it, even if he's the squish-spined WEF pawn many have claimed, and events are taking on a life of their own.

The bleeding due to Biden's cleats through his dick continues unstaunched, and it remains to be seen whether he thinks it best to run up the white flag, or try to go all Tiananmen Square on Texas.

And just to pile on, Texas' Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick threw down the gauntlet to FedGov, essentially telling the entire federal lash-up, "If you feel froggy, jump!"

This leaves the illegitimate regime with only two choices regarding their ongoing turpitude: turn tail and run like hell away from this, or open the ball on a civil war. We eagerly await their decision there. It's what we call a "heads we win, tails you lose" kind of deal.

And if anyone on Team Illegal Invasion, particularly FedGov, thinks they somehow have the other twenty-four states on their side at this point, they've got another thing coming.

The last time something like this happened was early in 1861.

Stock up on canned goods, and go deep on popcorn and beverages. There may be a whole lot of job openings in the federal job market soon.

Lying With Half-Truths

According to Miss Manners' etiquette guidelines, for a very small faux pas, you let the defaulter off with "Excuse me." For something like ripping a monstrous fart and shitting in their pants, you pretend it never happened, and avert your gaze. Which was why I didn't say anything about this particular pantload of stench soup until now. 

By request, I took a look at this article.

Kirsch: The Single Most Important Interview I've Ever Done

Spoiler Alert: The title is spot-on. Most of what Kirsch does is a steaming pile of cow-plop, and this is definitely the biggest mound he's thus far compiled. Which doesn't recommend the rest of his efforts too highly either.

Request, because considering the source, I didn't bother prior, nor would have ever, as I expected it not to amount to anything anywhere close to what was claimed. This is because Steve Kirsch has been an outspoken loudmouth with dubious accuracy throughout the pandemic. Not that he lies outright, but he is, shall we say, "economical with the truth". By which I mean he lards on stupendous claims, with dubious association with actual reality, and even less documentation, and puts the truth on the lardball with a thin veneer of icing.

Consume at your own risk.

Occasionally, he stumbles over noteworthy facts, but generally, he's so busy Chicken Littling grandiose mountainous claims out of molehills of fact that he generally picks himself up after such accidental forays, and carries on with his originally-planned Chinese Fire Drill and self-dick-stomping party.

This recent load of mostly codswallop continues in that tradition.

Let's look no farther than his "Executive Summary":

Key points of the interview include:

• Hospitals were actually empty when the press told us they were full.

• 90% or more of the COVID deaths were actually caused by the treatment protocols dictated from above, not the virus. There were both early treatments as well as inpatient treatments available that reduced the COVID death rate by over 90%.

• The COVID vaccines increased all-cause mortality in hospitals by up to 80% according to one ICU doctor I spoke to who worked in the same hospital as Gail and made meticulous notes on patient outcomes.

• One of the potential reasons people believed that there was a “pandemic of the unvaccinated” is that the EMR systems were programmed to default all COVID cases to unvaccinated and nurses weren’t told how to change it.

• After the vaccines rolled out for an age group is when the hospitals started seeing very unusual things they’ve never seen or rarely seen before for that age group.

• Doctors are still afraid to speak out.

All of this arm-waving based entirely on purely anecdotal evidence from one nurse and one anonymous doctor.

Now let's go to the videotape, and get down to the rat-killing.

The nurse in question worked at the time at the Kaiser hospital in Santa Rosa, located in Sonoma County.

So let's do some background, to put her input in perspective.

1) Sonoma County is mostly rural wine country, with a density of 311 people per mi². (For reference, the population of San Francisco County, some 20 miles and two counties away, is 19,180 people per mi². Just a wee difference.)

The population there consequently trends above-average in income, compared to the state as a whole. Its population of around 450,000 ranks it 17th (of 58) among California counties, coming in at just about 1% of the state's population. The more populous 16 counties, for reference, comprise 84%. Santa Rosa ranks behind 27 bigger cities just in California, behind such urban hotspots as Oxnard, Elk Grove, and Rancho Cucamonga. Sonoma County is, IOW, about as representative of California as Hooterville and Pixley are, somewhere between the Shady Rest Hotel and the Douglas farmstead.

The county, looking at the Johns-Hopkins COVID dashboard, is also 75% white, and 95% medically insured, both hugely aberrational compared to Califrutopia numbers overall.  The J-H COVID dashboard also tallies a blisteringly small 119,546 total COVID cases in Sonoma County throughout the entire three-year period of pandemic, and only records 556 deaths, a fatality rate of 0.46% of those infected, or about 4 times worse than annual flu, and only half the fatality rate of the state overall, which was 0.83%. For comparison, Los Angeles County had a fatality rate of 0.96%, twice as high. In Sonoma County, 1 person in 1000 died. In L.A., it was 1 in 300.

The overall U.S. numbers are a COVID fatality rate of 1.1%, nearly three times as bad as Sonoma County, and a similar 1-in-300 death tally as Los Angeles experienced.

2) It gets better. Sonoma County in total boasts a grand total of 9 hospitals. (For reference, in Los Angeles County there are 80.) The Kaiser there is only a distant third place in size, with a modest 173 beds. If you live in BFEgypt, that may be impressive. In California, there are 111 hospitals smaller than that, and most of those are either in literal one-horse towns, or are surgical and specialty centers, not actual hospitals in the way you'd think of that term. Of the hospitals that claim more than 0 actual beds, the other 223 hospitals in the state are all bigger than the uber-small Kaiser in Santa Rosa.

3) Kaiser hospitals are unique in CA. Nine out of any ten of them have no ER, by design, because of EMTALA. This is because lacking an ER lets them turn away anyone who doesn't have Kaiser insurance, which avoidance of large swaths of homeless losers and indigent illegal aliens keeps the entire chain from going bankrupt. The Santa Rosa Kaiser is a rare exception, in that it's a Kaiser hospital with an ER, so they have to take anyone they get, regardless of insurance. In one of the smaller cities in the state, with a negligible homeless population, in a more affluent and more rural county.

4) Looking at the number of ICU stays, that hospital averages a crushing (not!) tally of 5 ICU patients on any given day. (For reference, 5 ICU patients/day is what my hospital routinely has stuck in just the ER, because the ICU is full 24/7/365.) And less than 20% of their patients there in the ER are ever serious or critical; over 80% are moderate or less, and fully half are basically urgent care patients too lazy to go to one, because urgent care asks for the payment up front. So that hospital isn't exactly being hammered under the horrendous load of critical patients.

5) She was a part-time employee, obviously with an axe to grind, who got fired by the hospital in question (which tiny tidbit is only revealed a third of the way into a 1 1/2 hr. interview!), who only worked MedSurg, which is the lowest acuity patients anywhere other than the ones we kick-da-fuq-out same-day, and wasn't even there 3x more than normal. So she's talking out her ass based on no critical care hands-on experience, and is only talking about things she only knows about second- and third-hand, from the only hospital in her county doing things that way, in a chain that routinely under-admits and over-discharges all patients to save $$, as seen by one fired part-time nurse, from Tinyville, in Whitebread County, working in Teeny Weeny General hospital, in a hospital seeing a few patients in the ICU per day, telling you "how it was" during COVID.

Okay.

So this is like getting the straight poop on what it was like in WWII from fighter pilot George Gobel.

As to the "Executive summary"?:

1) "The media" never reported "all hospitals are full". They reported that hospitals were being overwhelmed early on in New Orleans (true), then Atlanta (also true), followed by those in NYFC (true again). So Kirsch trying to conflate media reports from places where COVID was demonstrably blowing up, with "everywhere", is pure grade-A rose fertilizer, and he knows it, and Kirsch milks this line of bullshit for all it's worth.

Some places got hit hard. Sonoma County Kaiser was never one of them. Things didn't blow up in Califrutopia until after the early lockdowns were belatedly relaxed, <i>after Labor Day 2020</i>, and then the pandemic did what pandemics do, because people are idiots. But Hooterville in NorCal never saw any serious impact, because the population density there was closer to being Kansas than what most people think of when they hear "California".

2) There was unquestionably monkey-business regarding treatment options dictated by know-nothing idiots in D.C., especially regarding medication usage. But in point of fact, the only treatment protocols were discovered on-the-job. There were literally none at the outset, and doctors everywhere were doing medicine by Braille, feeling their way to what worked and what didn't, and passing the answers around in real time on blogs, Reddit substacks, e-mail and Bookface posts, etc. I watched that in real time, nightly, for months on end. Guesstimating the statistics with unpublished and unverified numbers and 20/20 hindsight is flatly asinine. On Day Zero, nobody, including Dr. Anonymous Sumdood, knew fuck-all about how to treat COVID, or how many were "killed by the protocols", and anyone who claims differently is full of more shit than a Christmas goose on the topic.

There's no argument that the CDC and FDA finger-banging doctor's decisions and monkey-wrenching on-the-spot trial administration of things like hydrochloroquine (HCQ) and Ivermectin should have been ended, with a flamethrower, on Day Two, and doctors told to practice medicine according to their own best judgement, and share their findings in real time, but the iron law is that bureaucrats never give up power, even when they kill people, and this was no exception.

Extrapolating that into "doctors and hospitals were under orders to kill people in secret" which is what Kirsch and Nurse Fullashit allege, is a steaming turd so monstrous it's usually only excreted by blue whales with diarrhea. And then she burps out mystery stats from out of her ass, from units she never worked on, and spins pure bullshit, anecdotal hearsay, and unsupported speculation, which Kirsch treats as gospel. Well-played. This is to actual information as is a bad call-in segment on voodoo and witchcraft on Coast To Coast with George Noory.

3) [Addendum for Common Core grads: Stupid people who aren't good at reading comprehension, PAY ATTENTION to this point] The Not-A-Vaxx examples were all disastrous, beyond any further discussion. An actual vaccine was highly unlikely, and we still don't have one to this day. What we got palmed off on us was a Franken-slurry of death, exactly as multiple vaccine researchers told people would happen, which government idiots (but I repeat myself) roundly ignored, in their ceaseless quest to "do something". None of this is further proven nor informed by unverified and anecdotal allegations. And no one wants to talk about it, nor research it properly, because the march of people with torches and pitchforks on TPTB would make Robespierre's Reign Of Terror with Madame Guillotine look like a church social by comparison.

And they still have it coming.

4) Newsflash, Hirsch: This was ALWAYS a pandemic of the unvaccinated. IT STILL IS.

a) Because for a solid year after the initial outbreak, you witless jackass, THERE WAS NOTHING PASSED OFF AS A VACCINE ANYWHERE. You could look it up, FFS.

 b) Because what was passed off after a year wasn't a vaccine either. EVERYBODY ON THE PLANET IS UNVACCINATED, you incredible dipshit. Millions to billions of people have been jabbed, some multiple times, but no one at anytime has EVER received an actual vaccine for COVID. Hirsch knows this too, but it doesn't serve his caterwauling screeds to admit what's obvious, even to Stevie Wonder, from space.

 

Total evidence for any of that truth contained in Kirsch's video: ZERO. Oopsie. 

And while we're up, Shitforbrains, Epic is but one among at least 6-10 EMR systems used nationwide, it only accounts for about a quarter of the market, and you could fill entire encyclopedias with what features and procedures average users, let alone part-time flunkies like Nurse Fullashit, don't know how to do on it, or on any other one of them. (I've used 10 different systems since 2010; ask me how I know this to be true). This is like finding one flat Goodyear tire, and concluding thereby that all tires on all cars are defective. No points, and you're still full of shit.

5) And for the second time in this 6-point barrel of hogwash, we get the classic horse-and-chicken soup (at a ratio of "half and half" - one horse to one chicken) recipe of some truth, along with the bullshit. Yes, absolutely, the COVID Jab was the undeniable and proximate cause of metric fucktons of adverse reactions, more than all other actual vaccines combined in recorded history, including the novel diagnosis of Died Suddenly™. Yet again, this elephant in the room is visible from space with the naked eye.

But those torch-and-pitchfork-toting mobs aren't going to dissipate themselves if the obvious truth is revealed so soon.

6) Doctors are not "afraid to speak out". Hirsch himself and this pile of unsubstantiated speculation is proof of the opposite. Some doctors have been spineless chickenshits, like always with everyone. Some doctors have been forthright and courageous in whistle-blowing about this. That's how we know the military has crippled 1/4 of its total pilots, and injured for life unknown swaths of their entire ranks. The dam hasn't broken yet, but they can't stop the signal. You can never stop the signal.

But the message isn't served by half-baked, half-assed horseshit buffets like this load of drivel, missing only anything remotely resembling factual data. But Kirsch doesn't peddle data, he peddles clickbait and confirmation bias. As ever. He's the guy you most want to STFU, and stay off your side, if you're trying to get any respectability on the topic, but he tickles the bias of the Dumbshit Brigade, and for that, he'll have their undying loyalty.

The pandemic wasn't imaginary, and rank-and-file practitioners didn't kill people in lockstep obedience to idiots from on high.

But the country, collectively and individually, abandoned a healthy distrust of "Washington experts" (oxymoron alert) like Anthony Fauci, whose professional quack status we've decried, just on this blog, since only 2014.

The problem is, articles like this from Kirsch aren't much better, and they're nothing but a scientific laughingstock. This interview was the medical equivalent of Phil Donhue and Jerry Springer, but with even less credibility.

TL;DR Rating: If you thought this was a smoking gun, these aren't the droids you're looking for. Move along.

Let's try a slightly more accurate "executive summary" of this wagonload of cobblers:

Nurse who was fired from Kaiser for not getting The Jab, was only in the least acute section of the hospital, not the COVID ward, and only part-time, nonetheless managed to get COVID despite exposure protocols, who has no critical-care experience nor any direct hands-on patient care of critical patients, speaks out on things about which she has no direct knowledge, but brings metric fucktons of unsourced hearsay, wild assumptions, leaps of fantasy far beyond her scope of professional knowledge, experience, or practice, barrels of unsupported allegations, a total dearth of anything like data, documentation, or anything even vaguely resembling evidence, yet holds forth on everything she doesn't know, because feelz and butthurt.

This is sketchier than getting brain surgery advice from homeless meth-head schizophrenics living in cardboard boxes in an alley behind the liquor store. Or stopping at the White House to ask for directions from Emperor Poopypants.

Kirsch would have more credibility if he borrowed Biden's Christmas attire.

IOW, pretty much what Kirsch has been peddling since Day One.

His "Most Important Interview EVAR!" is the most fact-free eructation of pure bull-squeeze on the 'net since Biden's last press conference. 

It's now four years along, kids. Can we please agree that unless you see Fauci and the CEOs of Pfizer, J&J, et al issue a mea culpa on national TV, culminating in them pulling pistols and performing a long-overdue auto-da-fé and act of contrition by suck-staring said pistols live, that anything less than that, from any source, is probably and overwhelmingly bullshit, from either side, only propagated to confirm your biases in either direction, utterly devoid of merit or facts, and thus merely clickbait that's entirely a waste of bandwidth and time to even lift the lid off the chamber pot to look at?

Please: STOP EATING OUT OF THE CHAMBER POT. IT'S NOT A PUDDING CUP.

COVID has mutated now to being just the annual flu. Rejoice in a healthy immune system, wash yer grubby mitts, stay your ass home when you're sick, and just get over it.

Or, like the Usual Suspects and Anonymous trolls, fulfill all my expectations, and come share your scorching butthurt at Kirsch's richly-deserved fisking in Comments. Our claws aren't going to sharpen themselves.
