Anyone Who Doesn’t Know The Following Facts About Capitalism Should Learn Them

Rainer Zitelmann Contributor Leadership Strategy – for Forbes The psychology of success and wealth, the power of capitalism My cmnt: slight editing for clarity and accuracy How the world was In 1820, 94% of the world’s population was living in extreme poverty. By 1910, this figure had fallen to 82%, and by 1950 the rate had dropped yet further, to 72%. However, the largest and fastest decline occurred between 1981 (44.3%) and 2015 (9.6%).

By Hannah Bleau – 27 Jul 2020 for Breitbart News An emergency room doctor joined her colleagues for Monday’s “White Coat Summit” in Washington, DC, as part of a greater effort to address the “massive disinformation campaign” around the Chinese coronavirus, reminding the general public that we are “not overwhelming the health care system.” Dr. Simone Gold spoke at Monday’s “White Coat Summit” and discussed the negative effects of the mass lockdowns while addressing critics, some of whom are calling for renewed lockdown restrictions. “We have to remember that the whole purpose of locking down was not to overwhelm our … Continue reading Emergency Room Doctor: ‘We Are Not Overwhelming the Health Care System’

Dr. Fauci: ‘We Don’t Know’ How Less Likely People Are to Transmit Coronavirus When Wearing a Mask

By HANNAH BLEAU – Jul 25, 2020 – for Breitbart News My cmnt: Anthony Fauci, the douchey, limp-wristed, glory-hog, lying, hypocrite of a doctor should never be listened to or heeded again. He wants this novel, Wuhan Chinese coronavirus effect to continue indefinitely to extend his worthless 15-minutes of fame on and on. Three 80 year old scumbags – Fauci, Pelosi and Schumer – should have to spend a year together in one jail cell (à la Jerry, George, Elaine and Cosmo in the last episode of Seinfeld) as punishment for their crimes against humanity.

We have always known they do no care about innocent lives lost (i.e., abortion, inner-city gangs gunning down bystanders, children and each other, our soldiers in war, the police and other first responders, inner-city children in shitty democrat-run schools, Mary Jo Kopechne) due to their incredibly stupid, self-centered Marxist policies.

You’re never too young to die

Photos and names From EonLine – July 18, 2020 My cmnt: It always seems more tragic when the rich, the famous or the beautiful die young. We say, ‘She had so much to live for’ or ‘Such a pity to lose one so beautiful’ or ‘If I had his money I would have taken better care of myself.’ But would you? So many of the rich and famous young die by their own hands. This certainly seems counter intuitive at least. Why do these, of all people, commit suicide, either intentionally or carelessly?

Using Hydroxychloroquine and Other Drugs to Fight Pandemic

Yale School of Medicine – June 01, 2020 interview with Dr Harvey Risch My cmnt: my wife has been taking Plaquenil (i.e., hydroxychloroquine) for nearly 25 years for the highly successful treatment of Lupus. Without this abundant, cheap, effective medicine (also used for over 65 years as a prophylactic against malaria) she would be in deep doo-doo. It is highly irresponsible and nearly criminal for the MSM and democrat leaders to continue to demagogue this medicine for no other reason than that President Trump touted this medicine early on, correctly, and they cannot let that stand. As of today (07/21/20) … Continue reading Using Hydroxychloroquine and Other Drugs to Fight Pandemic

‘My Nigerian great-grandfather sold slaves’

BBC• July 18, 2020 Amid the global debate about race relations, colonialism and slavery, some of the Europeans and Americans who made their fortunes in trading human beings have seen their legacies reassessed, their statues toppled and their names removed from public buildings. Nigerian journalist and novelist Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani writes that one of her ancestors sold slaves, but argues that he should not be judged by today’s standards or values. My great-grandfather, Nwaubani Ogogo Oriaku, was what I prefer to call a businessman, from the Igbo ethnic group of south-eastern Nigeria. He dealt in a number of goods, including … Continue reading ‘My Nigerian great-grandfather sold slaves’

Bari Weiss – Resignation Letter

Dear A.G., It is with sadness that I write to tell you that I am resigning from The New York Times.  I joined the paper with gratitude and optimism three years ago. I was hired with the goal of bringing in voices that would not otherwise appear in your pages: first-time writers, centrists, conservatives and others who would not naturally think of The Times as their home. The reason for this effort was clear: The paper’s failure to anticipate the outcome of the 2016 election meant that it didn’t have a firm grasp of the country it covers.

Weiss revealed that she was bullied by her colleagues in a scathing resignation letter By Joseph A. Wulfsohn | Fox News – July 14, 2020 Many liberal journalists shrugged off the fiery exit of New York Times opinion editor Bari Weiss, some even mocking the writer over the open letter she had penned to the paper’s publisher.

Daily Coronavirus Deaths in U.S. Continue to Plummet as Confirmed Cases Hit Record Levels

By Edwin Mora – July 6, 2020 – for Breitbart news My cmnts: The Left corrupts everything it touches. It lies like its father the Devil. We will probably never know the true death count in U.S. from Covid 19. When the democrats want something (increasingly higher death counts) they get it. Other blogs on this site cite (I always wanted to use those two in combination) the varying ways Covid deaths are counted especially the early practice of counting someone WITH Covid who dies of other causes as dying FROM Covid. Even worse the CDC assumed Covid from the … Continue reading Daily Coronavirus Deaths in U.S. Continue to Plummet as Confirmed Cases Hit Record Levels

Alex Berenson: Puts Covid-19 into perspective

I ordered and rcv’d Berenson’s booklet “Unreported Truths about COVID-19 and Lockdowns. He is a former New York Times reporter who left there because of his principled refusal to simply parrot the company line on anything political. He was one of the first in the national media to note something any of us who were paying attention could plainly see: Covid-19 is NOT a threat to most people. It, like the flu (no, I did not say it is a strain of the flu), is mostly dangerous to the already sick, the very elderly and those with compromised immune systems. … Continue reading Alex Berenson: Puts Covid-19 into perspective

Ernst Haeckel: Social Darwinist, Racist & Fraud

Ernst Heinrich Philipp August Haeckel (16 February 1834 – 9 August 1919) was a German zoologist and an strong proponent of scientific racism. He, and Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, were highly influential in promoting the idea, strong among liberal political socialists, that African people were genetically inferior and should be wiped out or at least limited in their population. Haeckel promoted and popularized Charles Darwin’s work in Germany and embraced an interpretation of Darwin’s pseudo-scientific theory of modification with descent that promoted the idea that “survival of the fittest” was a natural law that could be applied to … Continue reading Ernst Haeckel: Social Darwinist, Racist & Fraud

NBC Contributor Reveals He Never Tested Positive For COVID After Network Followed His Alleged Recovery

July 10, 2020 By Tristan Justice for the Federalist My cmnt: This is another outstanding example of NBC, the king of fake news networks, willfully suppressing the facts and misreporting. C-19 became political early on and continues to be used by the Leftist governors, mayors and MSM to continue lockdowns and ruining the economy. If, God forbid, O’Biden is elected the C-19 epidemic will be declared over and everyone can go back to their normal lives. We need to do this now. Increased testing can ONLY lead to discovering more people having the virus and not knowing it (i.e., asymptomatic, … Continue reading NBC Contributor Reveals He Never Tested Positive For COVID After Network Followed His Alleged Recovery

Wikipedia Is Badly Biased

I will use Wikipedia for quick info on anything trivial (e.g., entertainment, historical dates, flat-facts that cannot be slanted to benefit the Left or have no political value (e.g., the atomic number of gold). For info on anything important, controversial, political, or subject to interpretation (e.g., worldviews, religions, watershed political events, opinions (e.g., should we mine gold or eat meat) then you’ll have to use other sources.

The New ‘Systemic Racism’ That Is Coming

Pat Buchanan|Posted: Jul 10, 2020 12:01 AM – for Townhall.com My cmnt: I’ve so many things to say about this. First I wonder when the ‘woke’ admin of Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology will be demanding to change the name to Ernesto “Che” Guevara High School of the Revolution.

Blue State Blues: Trump, Lincoln, and the Election of 1864

By JOEL B. POLLAK -10 Jul 2020 for Breitbart News My cmnt: What a great article on the parallels between President Lincoln and President Trump in the upcoming Nov 3, 2020 election and Lincoln’s 1864 re-election. Opposition from RINOs in his own party and the evil democrats in the other is striking in its replay with President Trump. Nervous supporters of President Donald Trump have been reminding themselves that the presidential election looked as tough at this point of the 2016 as it does today. An even better parallel might be the election of 1864, when President Abraham Lincoln looked … Continue reading Blue State Blues: Trump, Lincoln, and the Election of 1864

Judge Andrew Napolitano: America, our personal liberties are being squeezed in a vise

By Judge Andrew Napolitano – July 9, 2020 – for Fox News My cmnt: I am not a fan of Napolitano and have been ignoring him as a biased anti-Trumper. He actually wanted HildeBeest (Michelle O’s nickname) elected over Trump. That is insane and kind of demented. That Napolitano has gotten too full of himself is the bottom line. Nevertheless some of this column (I’ve edited it down, taking out what I don’t agree with – this is MY blog after all) is spot on. Our Constitutional liberties are being trampled in the name of public safety. This brings to … Continue reading Judge Andrew Napolitano: America, our personal liberties are being squeezed in a vise

Sexually Transmitted Disease Surveillance 2018

When the estimable Dr. Fauci was asked about having sex with total strangers during our so-called pandemic of coronavirus he smirked and said that it was up to the individual to decide how much ‘risk’ he or she was willing to take. What a douche-bag. STDs are a plague upon America and the most the CDC can manage to say is that you might have ‘long-term pelvic pain’. What a joke. How about death. How about getting severely ill and going blind or becoming sterile. How about some panic porn about the behaviors that lead to crippling STDs and AIDS? … Continue reading Sexually Transmitted Disease Surveillance 2018

Grassley: ‘The Deep State Is so Deep Its People Get Away with Political Crimes’

By Joshua Klein – July 6, 2020 – for Breitbart news In a series of tweets today, Sen.Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) described the depth of the “Deep State” as so great that its members “get away with political crimes.” In one tweet, Grassley referred to recent remarks by Attorney General Bill Barr asserting that President Donald Trump was indeed the target of an “organized effort” to remove him from office. Grassley fears U.S .Attorney John Durham’s ongoing investigation into the origins of the Russia hoax may avoid making a final determination or bringing prosecutions, so as not to influence the upcoming election. .@realDonaldTrump #CommonSense Barr … Continue reading Grassley: ‘The Deep State Is so Deep Its People Get Away with Political Crimes’

Terry Crews Stood His Ground Again Over Fourth of July Weekend

Norway’s Version of the Resource Curse

Restraining Government in America and Around the World – Dan Mitchell – June 8, 2017 My cmnt: The point of my posting this article about Norway’s oil dependence (and the sister column on Denmark’s oil dependence, and I could add Canada also) is that these are all small (population) northern latitude, homogenous countries with a strong, inherited Protestant work ethic. This keeps them from going insane like the democrats in America who have essentially wanted slavery or communism (another form of slavery) for the past 200 years. However – all three of these countries pretend to be environmentally Green (which … Continue reading Norway’s Version of the Resource Curse

The North Sea oil is crucial to Danish welfare

Thor Pedersen on the importance of the North Sea to the Danish economy and welfare By Ulla Lena og Joachim Møller Pallesen – Sept. 20, 2016 My cmnt: My point in posting this column (and its sister blog on Norway) is that welfare states are counter productive to work and that the more benefits provided the higher the taxation has to be and the sooner everyone wants to start riding the gravy train. High taxation also puts so much burden on working families that they tend to have too few children to sustain the population. Below replacement levels in all … Continue reading The North Sea oil is crucial to Danish welfare

Darwinism: In pictures

Darwin drew a lot of criticism from his contemporaries and a fair amount of ridicule also. His fellow biologists and other scientists realized the many weaknesses in his theory and to his credit so did Darwin. His critics were mostly correct but Darwin glossed over the deficiencies in his theory rather than admit the theory simply did not correspond to the observed world. Darwin himself raised these points in his seminal work.  He recognized that they were valid objections then and unfortunately for the committed Darwinist they remain valid objections today. The first is the fossil record.  Darwin knew this … Continue reading Darwinism: In pictures

Democrats exploit well-meaning passions in cities seeking relief

By Tammy Bruce – – Wednesday, June 10, 2020 – for the Washington Times My cmnt: We certainly have noticed that Libs and democrats have nothing bad to say about all those people NOT practicing social distancing in mass protests.

By Dan O’Donnell – Jul 30, 2019 – for NewsTalk 1130 WISN President Trump is under fire for a series of tweets blasting Rep. Elijah Cummings’ (D-MD) home district of Baltimore as a “very dangerous & filthy place.” While the President’s critics have focused on the perceived racial focus of the tweets, they have fastidiously avoided a debate on the merits of his claim.

In 1976, Gerald Ford won 15 percent of the black vote. That’s the most of any recent Republican presidential candidate. In most elections, blacks give Democrats over 90 percent of their votes.

This came about because, as the expression goes, certain facts were somewhat misunderstood. Various tensions had arisen between the Indians and settlers, only to be made much worse when a measles epidemic broke out. About two hundred natives died of a disease that was mostly a nuisance among settlers. The Whitmans died because they were thought to have poisoned the natives with the disease.
