  • It's nice to be agreed with

    The President of Hillsdale College agrees with my premise (or most probably came to that same conclusion himself) that those who pay the piper call the tune and that this has caused confirmation bias within the scientific community. More than that, holding the pursestrings is allowing the NIH to empower itself, according to President Arnn.  He says:   “The… Continue reading

  • Yeah, what he said

    David Horowitz over at the Blaze is of the mind that Holcomb, the governor of Indiana sounds a lot like Biden.  Yet nearly every Republican governor not named DeSantis — even those opposing mandates — privately believes in the same disproven “pandemic of the unvaccinated” trope. Indiana’s Eric Holcomb was at least honest about his flat-earth feelings.… Continue reading

  • Safari rules and victim blaming

     The Last Refuge has an article on what they are referring to as ‘Safari Rules’ except the rules are in place, not for wild animals, but for the denizens of Democrat run cities.  You should read the whole thing. As Sundance puts it: In essence, the underlying elements of the Safari Principle narrative begin with… Continue reading

  • Peer reviewed generally equals groupthink

    In 1996, a physicist named Alan Sokol wrote a paper for a (non-peer reviewed) journal that was specifically designed to flatter the editors to see if it would get published.  It did and he then revealed that his paper was a hoax.  Much egg on faces. In 2018, a group of scholars wrote several hoax… Continue reading

  • The Date that will live in infamy

     Eighty years ago today, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor out of nowhere.  Until then, the US was willing to mostly stay out of WWII, although some men from the US were going to Canada to join the war (my grandfather among them). The Japanese, and the world, didn’t know what they wrought that day. Today,… Continue reading

  • So the tin god of Science is going with 'the feelz'

     According to Claus Schilling Jr./FraudFauci, who also seems to be the dictator behind the scenes, the Biden Admin (meaning himself) is re-evaluating the travel bans from the countries of southern Africa. Why? “We all feel very badly about the hardship that might have put upon not only South Africa, but the other African countries. And… Continue reading

  • Sick is sick–doesn't matter what it is

    The media is making a big deal over whether or not Brandon is having false negative wuflu tests when he’s clearly ill.   Seriously, they have lost the frickin’ point.  He is sick.  Visibly.  Symptomatically.  It doesn’t matter what the hell he has.  He shouldn’t be around people, with or without a mask.  He shouldn’t have… Continue reading

  • When A does not equal B

     A federal judge has finally ruled on the painfully obvious in regards to a lawsuit by some service members.  The judge did rule that the DoD cannot mandate shots that are under EUA, but did not put an injunction into place.  But a lot of interesting information was brought to light in this lawsuit. To give… Continue reading

  • Well, that's worse than I thought. ASU could be in hot water

     It’s looking like Arizona State University kicked Kyle Rittenhouse out the day before his verdict.  They ‘offered’ him a compassionate withdrawal in an email (sent him the form).  Which he didn’t complete and return.   Here’s the kicker–it’s pretty standard that university withdrawals have to be initiated by the student (or the student’s family if the… Continue reading

  • Kind of interesting on the Wuflu in Indiana

     I check out the Dept of ‘Healths’ website daily to see what they are saying (they are providing pathetically skewed data at the behest of the CDC, but that’s a different post).  What I saw yesterday was that Delta isn’t almost 100% of their sampling.  It’s down to 90%-ish.  Over 9% is listed as a… Continue reading
