All tyrants know how to do is be tyrannical

President Joe Biden appointed Pete Buttigieg to be the Secretary of Transportation.

It was a big deal because he was the first openly gay Secretary appointed and confirmed.

(We don’t count Rich Grenell because of some technicality that would give a Republican credit for something like this.)

Secretary Pete then went on a three months of maternity leave in the middle of a supply chain crisis and nobody noticed until Fox News asked some questions.

The supply chain is still fucked, evidenced by continued bare shelves and the skyrocketing prices of everything that requires a computer chip.

Secretary Pete then went stumping for Biden’s infrastructure bill claiming that our bridges and overpasses are racist.

It turns out that he got the “r” word wrong, they are rusty and collapsing.

Then we all find out that the infrastructure money that was going to be spent wasn’t even going to fix the bridge in Pittsburgh that fell down because the money was earmarked for bullshit like bike paths for rich people to go to Whole Foods or for rich people to have more subsidized charging stations for their Teslas.

He can’t fix the supply chain crisis. He can’t fix the bridges.  What can he do?

Secretary Pete made the ambitious claim he was going to end traffic fatalities.

Impossible, but why not try.

 

How is he going to do that?

He is going to turn America into the world’s most surveilled police state by spending billions to put speed cameras everywhere.

A camera on every street corner to ensure traffic safety.

That won’t ever be turned against us in the most malicious possible way, right?

The government will be far more efficient at levying fines on you for going 10 miles over the speed limit while driving on your pothole degraded road or over your rusted out bridge on you way to the store with half bare shelves.

Because that’s how tyrants are.

They can’t actually fix any of your problems.

Then can put a secret police officer or camera on every corner to intimidate and punish the citizenry.

Lockdowns only reduced COVID deaths by 0.2 per cent, Johns Hopkins study finds
‘We find no evidence that lockdowns, school closures, border closures, and limiting gatherings have had a noticeable effect on COVID-19 mortality’

A new study out of Johns Hopkins University is claiming that worldwide pandemic lockdowns only prevented 0.2 per cent of COVID-19 deaths and were “not an effective way of reducing mortality rates during a pandemic.”

“We find no evidence that lockdowns, school closures, border closures, and limiting gatherings have had a noticeable effect on COVID-19 mortality,” reads the paper, which is based on a review of 34 pre-existing COVID-19 studies.

Given the “devastating effects” that lockdowns have caused, the authors recommended they be “rejected out of hand as a pandemic policy instrument.”

In the US there were approximately 893,000 COVID related deaths.

That means all the lockdowns, all the shutdowns, all the restrictions, saved at most, less than 1,800 people.

In effect, we scuttled the strongest economy on a generation and achieved nothing for it in terms of saving lives.

That is to assume that everything done was done to save lives and not cause American to turn on Donald Trump and Republicans, while transferring billions of dollars into the hands of wealthy Leftist tech moguls and Democratic donors.

The American people need to understand what was done to us and how evil it was.

So about that economic recovery…

December:

Early January:

 

Late January:

Today:

 

The Biden Administration expected 200,000 new jobs in January.  They lost 300,000 jobs.

They missed their mark by 500,000 jobs negative.

Tell me again about that “fastest economic recovery ever” again.

We are so fucked.

It is a banner day for CNN

First:

Former CNN host Leon Harris is arrested for ‘drunk driving at TWICE the legal limit and trying to leave the scene of a crash where he rear-ended a car that went flying into another vehicle outside Washington DC’

Second, and saving the best for last:

‘I was wrong’: Jeff Zucker, 56, quits as president of CNN for failing to disclose relationship with senior executive Allison Gollust, 49, who he’s worked with for more than 20 years

CNN president Jeff Zucker – considered to be one of the most powerful figures in media – has resigned as investigations into host Chris Cuomo uncovered that he failed to disclose a relationship with a colleague he’s worked with for more than 20 years.

Zucker, 56, was recently involved with a relationship with Allison Gollust, executive vice president and chief marketing officer for CNN Worldwide, both confirmed Wednesday.

‘As part of the investigation into Chris Cuomo’s tenure at CNN, I was asked about a consensual relationship with my closest colleague, someone I have worked with for more than 20 years,’ he wrote in an internal memo to colleagues. ‘I acknowledged the relationship evolved in recent years. I was required to disclose it when it began but I didn’t. I was wrong.’ 

Hahahahahahaha!!!!

The investigation into Fredo Cuomo took out the little king of CNN.

Fredo is the gift that keeps on giving.

I cannot wait to see what unfolds next.  A domino like Zucker doesn’t fall and not take out others.

I won’t throw my marker down yet but I suspect CNN will be declaring bankruptcy by the end of the year.
