The Morning Report - 8/24/20

Good morning kids. The start of a new week and the Republican National Convention kicks off tonight. Meanwhile the beat goes on across the usual fronts, including a fresh conflagration in Kenosha, WI after a policeman allegedly shot a black man in the back during the course of a call about domestic violence. All things considered, the incident happened in a Democrat-controlled city by officers who are part of and trained by a Democrat-run department and Democrat-controlled city administration. Despite the fact that incidents like this are rare to the point of being statistically insignificant - especially when one considers the numbers of black-on-black and black-on-white shootings - the Democrat-Media Complex starts a prairie fire from a single spark (to paraphrase a rather toxic quotation).

In this case, we already have a conflagration engulfing the American body politic thanks to the incident in Minneapolis this past May. The epicenter remains Portland where the city administration has either lost control or willingly surrendered it to semi-organized cadres of domestic terrorists, whose ultimate goal is the overthrow of the United States. For now, they have turned a fairly good-sized chunk of downtown into Beirut on the Willamette. Along with Molotov cocktails and fists (more than likely low-T man-baby sucker-punching fairy fists gripping a set of brass knuckles), they are now hurling feces-filled balloons at the police. No doubt the irony of "flinging poo" is lost on these droogs, but considering what the Democrat-Media Complex has done to President Trump and all of us, it's just perfectly encapsulates who and what they are.

There were incidents in Denver and Charlotte as well, but in Seattle, idiot mayor Jenny Durkan vetoed the city council's near unanimous vote to defund the police department. I assume she'll be run out on a rail by the goons whether or not the council can override her veto. Back in Portland the terrorists got into it with counter-protesters at a "Back the Blue" rally and it turned into a melee. At this point, with law enforcement either willingly or forced to backed down by Democrat politicians who are refusing to crack down with overwhelming force, it is incumbent on the citizenry, alone or in groups, to defend themselves and their right to peaceful assembly. Or just to walk down a street to go about their business. When you no longer have that, you no longer have a society or a country.

Some big news on the Chinese Lung AIDS phony pandemic panic:

The Food and Drug Administration on Sunday issued an "emergency use authorization" for transfusions into [Chinese] COVID-19 patients of plasma donated by those who have recovered from the disease, citing data showing a "significant" -- up to 35 percent in some cases -- reduction in mortality rates.

Americans who have recovered from the disease caused by the coronavirus that emerged in Wuhan late last year are being urged to donate plasma, the liquid component of blood, for injection into [Chinese] COVID-19 patients...

[HHS Secretary Alex] Azar said that number should not be glossed over.

"We dream in drug development of something like a 35 percent mortality reduction," he said. "This is a major advance in the treatment of patients. It's a major advance."

Hahn said that the "convalescent plasma" of donors recovering from an infection has been used to treat others with the same disease for more than 100 years.

Under the evaluation launched in April, almost 100,000 Americans had enrolled to receive the treatment, and 70,000 had already received it, in "one of the largest expanded access programs in the history of FDA."

Meanwhile, the Joe Biden sockpuppet is promising that if he's installed in office, he'll lock the entire country down on day one, to save us from a virus that is marginally more lethal than seasonal flu, and with the peak point of infection and danger occurring probably four months ago. But, never let a crisis go to waste, even like hate crimes, if you have to invent them.

The parallels between 1918 and 2020 are extreme. The mass isolation and quarantine had no effect on 2019-nCoV and ruined our economy. The mass quarantine of the most vulnerable into nursing homes and the use of mechanical ventilators with their high occurrence of ventilator-associated pneumonia (1.5% per day) led to over 60% of the deaths, otherwise 2019-nCoV is far from the mass murderer it was hyped to be. Why quarantine and intubation? Medicare cut reimbursement for non-invasive ventilators, and Congress rewarded the use of ventilators on (presumed) COVID patients and their deaths. Socialist medicine transforms doctors into highly paid executioners of the elderly, weak, and infirm.

You say these were just mistakes of science and implementation? Under "ideal" socialism, the restriction of liberty is still valid? Perhaps mistakes, but an argument over science trumping liberty is a red herring. Lives versus lives is part of the Game of Socialism, which ignores the possibility that liberty is necessary for the public good -- rather, dismisses it.

Social media trolling and unethical reporting exaggerated a cold into a plague, and socialist health and safety advocates panicked the world into surrendering liberty and implementing socialism. All of the damage attributed to COVID-19 was instead caused by the socialism meant to protect us. COVID-19 is a pandemic of socialism.

By the way, I wasn't kidding about the fake hate crime. See the link here and in the Democrat Chutzpocrisy section.

Elsewhere, Kellyanne Conway has announced she is leaving the White House to spend more time with family. This time, it may be true considering the friction in the household. And speaking of friction, George Conway's thighs will emit sparks as he leaves the Lincoln Project to spend more time with pastrami.

As for the RNC, in the wake of the abject disaster that was the Democrat convention, there was no expected "bounce" for Biden, and the words of Mark Meadows defines the moment, stating that Trump "accomplished more in his first 100 days than Joe Biden did in the last 40 years." Boom. Not only does that statement define both candidates, it defines how our government operated for at least the past 50 years if not longer, and the struggle to stop that insanity and restore power back to the people.

Anyway, there are other major things breaking that no doubt you'll see in the links as you peruse them. And if you are in the path of those hurricanes, please stay safe and if ordered to evacuate, get the hell out and get to safety.
