It’s Monday, April 19th, 2021…but before we begin, here’s an excellent item from Breitbart<\/em>‘s John Nolte via our sister-in-law Amy:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rural Trump Voters Already Live in the Safe, Tolerant Utopia Leftists Claim to Want<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“If I had to boil down the political wisdom I\u2019ve learned over four decades of observing, studying, writing, and debating, it would be this\u2026<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Life in Rural America (which is where Republican Trump voters live and govern<\/span><\/em>), is clean, safe and racially tolerant<\/span><\/em>.<\/span> Most places in America where life is dirty, polluted, dangerous, violent, and plagued with racial hate and race riots<\/span><\/em>, are cities that are almost exclusively populated by and governed by Democrats<\/span><\/em>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Outside<\/span><\/em> of these Democrat-run cities, America is<\/em><\/span> peaceful, safe, clean, and racially tolerant.<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>What\u2019s more, if you remove<\/span><\/em> these Democrat-run cities from our national statistics, you will find an America that is overwhelmingly<\/em><\/span> peaceful, safe, clean, and racially tolerant.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Nevertheless, Democrats and their fake-media allies still blame Republicans<\/span><\/em> for all of their<\/span><\/em> problems<\/strong><\/span>…”<\/p>\n

Which is somewhat akin to a wife-beating husband blaming his abhorrent conduct on his spouse for allowing him to abuse her.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, here’s The Gouge<\/em>!<\/strong><\/p>\n

First up, while the demented 46* falsely claims expanded background checks and more restrictive gun laws are the answer, the FedEx shootings appear to be the work of still\u00a0another<\/span><\/em> mentally-ill individual who should<\/em><\/span> have been flagged under existing statutes<\/em><\/span>, yet again<\/em><\/span>…somehow<\/em><\/span>…inexplicably slipped through the cracks:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Indiana’s red flag law didn’t stop Brandon Scott Hole from killing 8 people<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“…In March 2020,\u00a0police\u00a0took a brand new shotgun<\/span><\/em>\u00a0from then 18-year-old\u00a0Brandon Scott Hole when his mother\u00a0reported his desire to die at the hands of law enforcement<\/em><\/span>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>Just four months later<\/span><\/em>,\u00a0he legally bought an assault rifle in Indianapolis<\/span>.<\/em><\/span> He would add another<\/span><\/em> to his collection two months after that<\/em><\/span>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

And 13 months removed from the call his mother\u00a0made to police\u00a0at the precipice\u00a0of the pandemic, Hole used his two assault weapons to\u00a0kill eight people and himself at a FedEx\u00a0facility on\u00a0Indianapolis\u2019 southwest side.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

As the city grieves, questions surround the 19-year-old alleged gunman’s ability to legally<\/em><\/span>\u00a0buy multiple weapons mere weeks after both local and federal authorities were made aware of his mental instability and\u00a0his plans to commit “suicide by cop<\/em><\/span>.”<\/strong><\/span>…”<\/p>\n

We’re also curious why almost every report on the shootings mentioned most FedEx employees at the site were barred from bringing their cell phones inside the facility, “which\u00a0<\/strong>led to confusion and anxiety as friends and family sought to get in touch with loved ones after news of a mass shooting.”\u00a0 As if a policy clearly intended to promote maximum efficiency was somehow cold and heartless.\u00a0 Our recommendation?\u00a0 If you don’t like a company’s policies, seek alternative employment.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Since we’re on the subject of cold and heartless, courtesy of his Private Papers<\/em>, the great VDH opines on…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Optimism, Inc.: COVID News<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“The more pessimistic<\/span><\/em> the CDC, Dr. Fauci, and the Biden Administration sound on the pandemic, the more cautiously optimistic<\/em><\/span> I become, albeit as a non-medical observer of the pandemic.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I also do not mean that as a contrarian, but, after all, we are approaching a perfect storm of events that\u00a0could threaten at last to blow out the virus.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

…<\/span>As the virus subsides, what will<\/em><\/span> the omnipresent, camera-addicted, and ubiquitous, Dr. Fauci do<\/span><\/em>?\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

And finally, as we look back, we can add up four knowns:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1) There is a level-4 virology lab in Wuhan. It is ground zero of the pandemic. There was gain-in-function viral research ongoing at the lab, a strong Chinese military presence, and a prior record of sloppy procedures.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

2) The Chinese government has corrupted WHO. Beijing denied access to its lab to international inspectors, while lying repeatedly about the date, origins and nature of the virus.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

3) While the US has been threatened by prior scares of SARS-CoV-1,\u00a0H1NI, West Nile, and avian flu , etc. and various pandemics\u2014along with the rest of the world\u2014never in recent memory has a virus appeared so suddenly and proved so infectious and so utterly disruptive. T<\/span>he more adamantly the Chinese communist government and American elites insist on a bat origin, the more adamantly they seek to stifle or ridicule those who legitimately inquire about the possibility of a leak and cover-up of a human-enhanced or even natural virus.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

4) If information ever got out that COVID-19 was the result of a Chinese-engineered coronavirus, or even a captive natural virus, one that escaped its own labs and that such information was deliberately withheld from the world, as those infected left China on planes throughout the globe, the Chinese brand would be all but through for decades to come.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I will let the reader decide whether the Chinese were terrified of the economic consequences of the escaped virus (whatever its origin, nature, or source) and so lied about its potential lethality<\/span><\/em>, or shrugged once it escaped, \u201cBetter now everyone suffers rather than just us\u201d, or at some point pivoted and concluded, \u201cWell, it\u2019s a tragedy, but at least it creates future deterrence: no one will wish to confront us when there is always the chance of another accidental COVID-21 or \u00a0COVID 22-30 on the horizon.\u201d All these hypotheticals, far-fetched and realistic, could easily be dispelled in a day by complete transparency, access to researchers, and opening of records.<\/span> This<\/span><\/em> the Chinese communist not just won\u2019t<\/span><\/em>, but can\u2019t<\/em><\/span>, do.<\/strong><\/span>“<\/p>\n

As Jim Geraghty noted in last Friday’s Morning Jolt<\/em>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0“In case you missed it yesterday<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/a>,\u00a0despite a wave of good news about the COVID-19 pandemic, our leaders<\/span>\u00a0<\/em>(the word “leaders” deserves to be shown in quotation marks!<\/em>)<\/span>\u00a0appear to have been inoculated against any symptoms of optimism or celebrating any progress<\/span><\/em>.<\/span><\/strong>“<\/p>\n

In a related item forwarded by Balls Cotton, politicians aren’t the only “leaders” dedicated to obfuscating the truth, as this story from the American Conservative Movement<\/em>\u00a0confirms:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Study quietly published at NIH.gov proves face masks are absolutely worthless against Covid<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/h1>\n

The diapers most of us are wearing on our face most of the time apparently have no effect at stopping Covid-19. This explains a lot<\/span><\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

“…The sentence Cortes quoted from the study\u2019s conclusion<\/span><\/em> reads: \u201cThe data suggest that both<\/em><\/span> medical and<\/em><\/span> non-medical facemasks are ineffective<\/span><\/em> to block human-to-human transmission of viral and infectious disease such SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19, supporting against<\/em><\/span> the usage of facemasks.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Twitter messaged Cortes demanding he delete the Tweet, citing that he broke Twitter rules specifically for, \u201cViolating the policy on spreading misleading and potentially harmful information related to COVID-19<\/span><\/em>.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Vainshelboim drew many conclusions from the vast information he compiled, but arguably the biggest bombshell<\/em><\/span> in it can be found in the \u201cEfficacy of facemasks\u201d section [emphasis added]:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

According to the current knowledge, the virus SARS-CoV-2 has a diameter of 60 nm to 140 nm [nanometers (billionth of a meter)] [16], [17], while medical and non-medical facemasks\u2019 thread diameter ranges from 55 \u00b5m to 440 \u00b5m [micrometers (one millionth of a meter),\u00a0which is more than 1000 times larger<\/span>\u00a0[25].<\/span> Due to the difference in sizes between SARS-CoV-2 diameter and facemasks thread diameter (the virus is 1000 times smaller), SARS-CoV-2 can easily<\/span> pass through any<\/span> facemask.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This study isn\u2019t the only one out there that demonstrates scientifically<\/span><\/em> the inefficacy and dangers associated with constant use of face masks.<\/span> One would think<\/em><\/span> that considering the source<\/span><\/em>, this type of information would be acceptable to even Big Tech tyrants<\/span><\/em>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After all, they constantly chide us about following the science.<\/span> Well, here\u2019s the science<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/span>…”<\/p>\n

And as David Marcus writes at the\u00a0New York Post<\/em> courtesy of Ed Hickey,\u00a0the mindless mask regime might be here to stay, unless YOU resist it<\/span><\/em><\/a>, as “t<\/em><\/span><\/strong>he mask fanatics<\/em><\/span> \u2014 some of whom hold advanced degrees that make them no\u00a0wiser<\/em><\/span>\u00a0as human beings \u2014 can\u2019t be reasoned with<\/em><\/span>.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here’s the juice: Like\u00a0Black Lies Matter<\/em>, the “science” of anthropogenic global warming and the dangers posed by DDT, most if not all of this scamdemic has been one lie built upon another.\u00a0 David Marcus is right, though what’s scarier still is we’ve seen far too many people who, if told they needed to mask up even in their own homes for the rest of their lives, would willingly comply.\u00a0 As for us, we’re with Howard Beale:<\/strong><\/p>\n
