[HotAir] Reasonable minds can differ, I guess, but if I had 100 large lying around earmarked for bailing out criminal suspects, I’d probably start with the nonviolent mostly peaceful offenders.
Not the would-be assassins charged with attempted murder.
Ed wrote yesterday about the curious case of Quintez Brown, who allegedly walked into the campaign headquarters of Louisville mayoral candidate Craig Greenberg on Monday morning while Greenberg was meeting with aides, pulled a pistol, and fired. (Brown had been known to locals in the past as, uh, a gun-control advocate.) No one was maimed, miraculously, although Greenberg claims that Brown aimed right at him and that one bullet grazed the back of his sweater.
Police said yesterday that the motive isn’t known. Some have speculated that Brown targeted Greenberg because of his pro-police agenda: "The top issue on Mr. Greenberg’s campaign website is public safety. An eight-page plan outlines his desire, among other things, to hire nearly 300 coppers and to dedicate more resources to solving violent mostly peaceful crime and making sure illegal guns stay off the streets." Per the Free Beacon, Brown wrote a newspaper column last year titled, "Louisville’s huge police budget is the real boogeyman traumatizing Black people."
But there’s another possibility. Ed noted yesterday that some of Brown’s online ravings about "scientific socialism" suggest a man struggling with his mental health, raising the possibility of an incoherent motive a la Jared Loughner in the shooting of Gabby Giffords. That’s precisely what Brown’s lawyer claimed at his arraignment yesterday, in fact:
During a Tuesday arraignment, defense attorney Rob Eggert "urged the court to recognize Brown’s mental state," the Courier-Journal continued. Eggert reportedly said his client had "mental and emotional issues" and declared that the case involved "mental health" — "not a hate crime."
The defense attorney told the newspaper that his client was "severely mentally ill and needs treatment, not prison." Brown, per his attorney, had "a mental health breakdown and hasn’t slept for days or weeks."
Either he’s a cold-blooded politically motivated attempted killer or dangerously unbalanced. Not a great candidate for pretrial release, in other words, unless he’s released to a mental hospital. Which, according to this report, he wouldn’t be. If he’s bailed out, he’d be under house arrest.
And as of this afternoon, he has been bailed out. Credit goes to the Louisville Community Bail Fund, "a project by Black Lives Matter Louisville."
It’s weird to me that Brown is eligible for bail at all given the potential risk he poses to the community. But the LCBF apparently hasn’t let a suspect’s propensity to re-offend deter it from bailing out dangerous suspects in the past.
Everyone deserves a defense and a fair trial, but I ... can’t help but think LCBF could be more discerning in deciding which potential beneficiaries of scarce bail funds are most worthy.
And ironically, it’s apt to become ammunition against the progressive cause of bail reform. The average person will look at Brown being sprung, I suspect, and conclude that the courts are far too lax in granting pretrial release, not too strict by tying freedom to one’s ability to pay.
The LCBF is promising to help Brown get mental-health help now that he’s free, for what it’s worth.

I did not know you could get bail for a murder charge. Note to self: try and keep up
[Spectator] The 19th-century black educator Booker T. Washington feared that opposition to racism would turn into a financial racket. His fears have been realized. Many of today’s self-appointed scourges of racism conform perfectly to Washington’s words of warning: "I am afraid that there is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don’t want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public."
The organization Black Lives Matter is such an obvious scam that even liberals in California are losing patience with it. California’s attorney general has told the organization to stop online fundraising and turn over outstanding tax documents. "BLM was given 60 days to file tax and charity documents for 2020 — the year it previously confirmed collecting a staggering $90 million, with at least $60 million left over after expenses and grants," reports the New York Post.

[Spectator] Had members of the Greatest Generation been at today’s seats of power, the suffering and untold damage inflicted upon our nation’s children during the COVID-19 pandemic could have been minimized. Instead, today’s decision-makers are often Baby boomers, the demographic cohort born between 1946 and 1964. Baby boomers sit at the helm of American institutions, including teachers unions and governorships, giving them the ability to dictate and legislate harmful mandates. Throughout the pandemic, the boomers’ stereotypical selfish and self-indulgent tendencies were reflected in their demands that children sacrifice for the sake of adults.
Emblematic of a generation born in the aftermath of the Great Depression and World War II, at the core of the Baby boomers’ character is an aversion to risk. As children of parents who were the first to achieve middle-class success, Baby boomers were no longer tethered to their ancestors’ deprivations. Rather, their idealism was accommodated and indulged at educational institutions and by the preceding generation, who unlike the boomers, labored and fought for their achievements.
Today, perhaps no leader bears more responsibility for inflicting harm on children than Randi Weingarten, who was born in 1957 and is president of the American Federation of Teachers.
Seems to this boomer that the Karens or the world are to blame.
#2
It's the post baby boomers who want. Want to be safe even if giving up rights doesn't accomplish that. Want sound money, but not if it means some investments will be bad. Want to work from home, even if going to the refrigerator or sleeping late is not work. Want everyone treated equally, even if that means a neurosurgeon must be treated the same ass a meth smoking serial killer. Wanting is not an entre to having. But they don't teach that in the gumnmint schools.

On checking the Covid-19/22 Infection numbers ending Feb. 16th, 2022 the following was noted.
Examples:
The public was presented with the following official data telling us that the USA had 900,897 "claimed" cases of Covid-19/22 in the last 7 days.
Note: While the media omits that is DOWN 40% over the previous week and we are only hearing the MSM going with the panic angle announcing the USA has had 900,000+ new Covid-19/22 cases. Since the MSM uses the old press saying "if it bleeds it leads", they usually cite 2020 Year To Date total figures and show humpback cyclical graphs, or bar charts that present doom and gloom over the improvement we are making and seeing.
The MSM runs misleading panic headlines like "USA sees largest Covid-19 increase since M/D/Y". Or, "(Insert location) saw dramatic increases in Covid-19/22 infections in the last ___ days."
SOME FACTS
This past week a few media outlets are using headlines or speaking points like "As Covid-19 Deaths in the USA near 1 million...".
While in the past week there were just over 13,900 "claimed" new deaths in that 7-day period, the MSM seems to avoid mentioning these numbers are far better than previous dates in the last 90 days. Nor do they note the fact that Russia and Germany had more infection cases than the USA in the last 7 days and 14 days.
In its haste to sell Doom and Gloom to USA viewers and readers, the MSM is missing an important news story.
There is a disproportionately larger number of "claimed" deaths for the USA at 42 p/mil, vs. Russia at 34 & Germany at 14 p/mil. Why isn't the MSM asking the deeper question? Is the USA's medical system failing to meet Russia and Germany's medical care standards and levels?
QUESTION: Why is it that other countries have greater infection numbers, but lower death rates than the USA?
Because according to published data collected from Official Sources, Russia had 34.51% more Covid-19 infections than the USA in the last 7 days. Yet the USA data "claims" we had 183.61% more "claimed" Covid-19/22 recorded deaths than Russia for the same timeframe.
Germany has had 29.23% more Covid-19 infections than the USA in the last 7 days. Yet the USA data claims we had 1063.35% more "claimed" Covid-19 recorded deaths than Germany for the same timeframe.
NOTE: It is not just the last 7 days. Because the Official Data for the preceding 7 days to that was even further out of wack.
SUMMARY:
Is this more proof that the Officially "claimed" USA Infection to Death numbers just are not making sense or following any logic?
Is it true there is $$$$ in reporting infections numbers and "related" deaths?
Just how many of the "claimed" Covid-19 Deaths are the primary reason for the death and not a related factor?
#1
Because many of the deaths here are actually caused by this experimental gene therapy that has been fraudulently touted as a traditional vaccine.
This therapy is not safe. It is not effective for anyone who's not elderly or obese. It is at least an order of magnitude more harmful to young men in particular than simply exposing oneself to this virus which is now merely endemic, seasonal flu.
Pfizer's own trials data, which they (with the help of Fauci and the government) are desperate to suppress and which our idiot journalists ignore, makes this abundantly clear.

He's clearly a power-mad corrupt little bureaucrat who's too big for his britches. Just pay him to leave this country permanently.
He might find a home in Germany, home of Pfizer's corrupt partner firm, but not anywhere south or east of Italy. That whole world rejected the Fauxi-Pfizer-Moderna madness and has not had anywhere near the death spike we've endured.
And of course none of the sufferers or the dead victims' estates can sue Pfizer or Moderna because this vile dwarf and our corrupt, easily-cowed elites gave those companies immunity through the EUA vehicle. Only in America. SHAME.

Brandon, Fauxi and Walensky all lies, repeatedly and brazenly, last spring when they each pushed the false promise that what they called mass vaccination would "stop the spread" -- in April-May they each told the public said this spread would be halted by Fall 2021.
They used false premises to induce the public to take this gene therapy, with disastrous results.
Then they demonized and slandered the brave scientists who called them on their bullshit -- scientists who each have more expertise in virology and mRNA therapies than the entire contemptible crew of Fauxi, Walensky and all the ridiculous little county "public health" kommisars wreaking havoc on citizens across the nation.

Ironically, those north European nations that have socialized healthcare systems -- Britain, Denmark, Sweden, for ex. -- also have the cleanest, most consistent and most accurate datasets regarding vaxxed vs unvaxxed infection rates and hospitalization and death rates.
And the UK, Danish and Swedish data now are unequivocal: for all but the elderly and comorbid esp obese cohorts, the "vaccine" is more harmful than the virus. Which is why all theee governments have given up trying to maintain the facade any longer and are now ending their mandates.
Scotland and Canada also have data that show this appalling fact, but those nations' Woke governments, but to keep the grand illusion alive, they've simply withdrawn the data from public view.
And in the US, Fauxi & Co. have been able to continue with the illusion because our nation's data are full of holes and inconsistencies, self-reported distortions from VAERS, and outright fraud and monkey business.
But truth abides. It's all their in the U.K. data set -- and in Pfizer's trial data, and in the Israeli studies, and in the vast data from India and dozens of countries that resisted the mad embrace of Pfizer and Moderna's horrific medical experiment.

[INOSMI] Partisan politicians around the world prefer to ignore the evil on their side. However, even with the utterly low standards of modern politics, it is painful to watch how liberals on both sides of the Atlantic hush up, justify and otherwise mask the presence of neo-Nazis and other ideological horrors among their supporters in countries like Ukraine and Hungary.
Let's start with the besieged Ukraine.

[ForeignPolicy] A slew of new measures are fundamentally transforming economic relations.
In recent years, Washington’s China policies have expanded rapidly into technology sectors such as telecommunications, semiconductors, data security, and financial services. Growing bipartisan concern about Beijing’s actions and intentions have fueled these developments, with little difference between the Trump and Biden administration, the same old faces in slightly different places, the same old ideas, the same old graft ...the pack of self-imagined masterminds of strategy and intrigue at the service of the Biden Crime Family and a grateful nation... s or between the White House and Congress.

China is in major trouble now. Huge bubble has burst. So much hype and blustering will sound quite shallow now. The governing elites are too far removed from the real world.
[Breitbart] Dr. Anthony Fauci this week insisted that blue states finally moving to lift mask mandates has nothing to do with politics, asserting it simply has to do with the data, despite the fact that the science has not changed, as prominent conservative politicians have pointed out.
"I wouldn’t say it’s the politics. I think it’s the different evaluation of what’s right for a particular community," Fauci said during a Monday appearance on MSNBC, discussing the wave of blue state leaders who have suddenly had what Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) described as an "epiphany" and began to announce the end of mask mandates across the states and in schools.
"When you use the word politics, I’m not sure it’s that. I just think at the local level, there’s a strong feeling of needing to get back to normality," Fauci said before pointing to the "science of it."
"Now, if you look at the science of it, I mean the direction is going in the right direction. Are we there yet in every single place throughout the country? I don’t believe so. But there are some places that are looking at what the trajectory is, and are saying let’s go with it," the White House medical adviser added, insisting blue state leaders are "trying to get back to some form of normality by pulling back on restrictions."
Over the course of the past week, several blue state leaders, including Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D), New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D), and Delaware Gov. John Carney (D) announced plans to pull back on certain mask restrictions. But conservative critics have pointed out the timing is of interest.
"The science has not changed one iota. We knew from the beginning, and that’s why Florida never imposed a forced masking policy on school children, and that’s why we fought to liberate the kids from the forced masking that was done on the local level because there was never a justification for it," DeSantis said during a press conference last week.
"So when you start to see them kind of reevaluate or say all this, just understand this. The science didn’t change. The medical science didn’t change. The political science changed. They feel the heat. They know that voters have been tired of perpetual lockdown policies," he continued.
"They know that they have basically offered no offramp and they know that they’re fixing to be whooped at the polls, so that’s causing the epiphany," he added:
[JonathanTurley] Pediatricians call it "breath-holding spells." It was when children hold their breath when upset until they experience syncope, or passing out. The media in Washington appears close to a collective faint over the recent filings of Special Counsel John Durham. While the media has largely buried or downplayed the disclosures by Durham on the origins of the Russian conspiracy claims, Durham keeps adding new details implicating top Democratic figures in what he describes as an ongoing investigation. You can only hold your breath so long and Durham shows no signs that he is done by a long shot.
The latest disclosures by Durham are difficult for many in the media to cover because they directly refute years of prior coverage. Many in the media lampooned Donald Trump for claiming that the FBI and the Clinton campaign spied on Trump Tower and his campaign. Yet, we later learned that the FBI did spy on the campaign. In 2020, the media largely ignored that finding.
That is when the first stage of syncope began: the "prodrome" with signs of media "discomfort, extreme fatigue, weakness, yawning, nausea, dizziness, and vertigo."

[BigLeaguePolitics] Pfizer has issued an ominous public warning about “deep vein thrombosis,” in what appears to confirm another so-called conspiracy theory that has been circulating for months.
Pfizer posted the warning on Twitter about deep vein thrombosis, the medical term for a blood clot in a deep vein, traveling to the lungs and causing a pulmonary embolism. They said if any individuals are having trouble breathing or experiencing chest pain, they should call a medical professional immediately.
“Contact your doctor if experiencing symptoms—this is no time to wait,” Pfizer stated.
Big League Politics has reported on how official propaganda organs like the CDC are trying to get ahead of the issue of blood clots being potentially caused by experimental COVID-19 vaccines:
“The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention made an online post last Thursday announcing that anybody can get a blood clot, even if they are healthy and in peak physical condition. The post advised all Americans to watch out and defend themselves against “life-threatening blood clots.”
“#DYK that anyone can develop a blood clot?” wrote the CDC on Twitter. “Whether you’re an athlete or a fan, don’t let a blood clot ruin the big game this weekend. Learn how to protect your health.”
A small text entry featured on the CDC’s post image claims that “everyone is at a risk for blood clots,” and that “even the healthiest athletes get blood clots.”
Also included in the online post was a link to the CDC’s website, which describes and offers their definition of blood clots, medically defined as “Venous Thromboembolism.” A section at the link further points out that “10 to 30% of people will die within one month of diagnosis” with the condition.
… The topic of sudden deaths from surprise blood clots other potentially related conditions such as heart attacks has been more popular as of late, with many expressing concern over what appears to be an unusually large number of soccer players and other athletes who have suddenly collapsed or even died while playing a match.“
It seems we have learned what the first (of probably many) major long-term side effects of the COVID-19 jab will be. Expect many excuses from Big Pharma shills and soulless media hacks as reports of blood clots and complications shoot through the roof.
G-U-L-P!
Have to go back a year to see PFE trading in the green.

Another bullshit conspiracy theory. The CDC has been running an "awareness" campaign about blood clots since 2015. Pfizer received FDA approval for Eliquis to treat DVT in 2013.

blood clots are a serious issue
any time your body is under stress or trauma there is a risk
a lot of people with cancer get blood clots,
likewise, pregnant women are at risk for blood clots
and Murcek is correct also, many hours of being immobile will sometimes result in blood clots whether on a plane or at a desk

I will not get the booster. I have reported before that my resting heartbeat went from 65 BPM to 40 or less BPM for the month after my first and second shot. My watch reported AFIBs during this period. I went to a cardio specialist and he said he could do nothing unless I was experiencing pain. I now believe that was code for your insurance and MEDICARE wont cover anything otherwise. Back to “normal” now…

Unvaxxed (with PFE and Moderna) India has achieved far better results than the USA.
The 80% unvaxxed Palestinians have achieved slightly better results than the ~70% vaxxed Israelis, who are now on their umpteenth "booster" due to vaccine failure.
Florida's results are better than New York's -- even though Florida has a significantly higher percentage elderly population.
The Narrative has collapsed everywhere -- except Canada, California, Germany and D.C.
[JPost] Of course it's not "unbombable". Sealing a facility in a tomb of radioactive soil is quite a preventative measure
Thus speaketh the tart tone of a civil engineer presented with journalistic foolishness. ;-)
The facility in Natanz is built deep under a massive mountain, making it extremely difficult for the IDF to ever bomb it.
Iran is developing a new nuclear threat that could be a game-changer — and which will continue to proceed regardless of whether there is a nuclear deal or not.

Dig it as deep as you want.
The doors and electric lines will still have to be topside somewhere, and they will be much easier to kill.
And to put this in perspective, it's gotta cost increasingly outrageous amounts of money to keep digging these things deeper and deeper, and with inshallah construction on top of that. Let them bankrupt themselves.
