Welcome back! Week two has been a little bit better than week 1 – not as many panic shoppers and a week of experience home schooling Little BobĀ has our household a little bit more confident. But first, let’s hop into The Wayback Machine of a few weeks ago:
3/8 – California Is a Cruel Medieval State
Victor Davis Hanson gives another of his great takes on Northern Venezuela
There is some correlation between this and why us Normals are much less likely to panic than the Lefties
3/18 – Time to ban wet markets
If you’re unfamiliar with what these are (like I was before I read it), this link is a good read
3/18 – Marvel Is Cancelled..Ā (Video)
How about something non Corona related? Marvel is rolling out a new team of “superheroes” consisting entirely of SJWs. It’s so bad that it reads as if one ofĀ us wrote a perody. While there are a number of great videos on this, the one I posted here from The Quartering got picked because it gets a live reaction of someone hearing the news for the first time. A great diversion! And if the kids aren’t in the room here’s a brilliant parody of the original, NSFW language.
3/18 – New Marvel Superhero āCuckoldā Wears Name as a Badge
The NSFW language at the end of the first paragraph should be the tipoff that this link is satire. But things have gotten so ridiculous that it took me 2 or 3 paragraphs before I figured it out.
3/19 – We Are So F***ing Done With China
Yes, this is one of the stories (H/T Flopping Aces commenter Kitt) that makes the cut for it’s title. At the end of the post is that great short viral video where a Hong Kong protester offers some very constructive advice for President Trump!
3/20 – Democrats want climate action included in coronavirus aid
Not quite as bad as Botox Nancy first attempt at trying to weasel in language to fund abortions, but WTH is wrong with these people?
Remember when they were crying that President Trump wasn’t giving them enough press conferences? Now they’re angry that a nations leader is giving the public frequent updates during a crisis, often handing the mic over to expert who can speak in greater detail. They should be thankful that there is news for them to report that keeps them from having to cover for Sundown Joe’s latest dementia driven rant.
3/21 – UKās Biggest Solar Farm Poses Grave Risk To Public Health
This is part of why every Leftist “Mandate” revolves not around substantial. realistsic plans, but rather basic efforts to exert more control over the population. And funnel more money to their “research”
3/21 – Maryland Democrats Reject Gun Violence Bill Amid Gun Violence Epidemic
Again, in fairness to Democrats, they are taking care of their constituents who voted them into office, namely criminals.
3/21 –Ā Ā Joe Biden Plans to do Mystery Science Theater on Trump Press Conferences
I’m guessing that Hillary starts doing this in the bathroom mirror every afternoon with an empty bottle of Two Buck Chuck in her hand.
3/22 – SHAME: Democrats Opposed Travel Bans Now Being Implemented Worldwide to Slow Coronavirus
Let’s start converting empty office space in congressional buildings and those that house “news” organizations for clearing new arrivals to the US. This will be what everyobe will agree to be a win-win.
3/23 – Nancy Calls the Shots In California
I do have a few friends out in California who are among the Normals (or at least somewhat normal) and feel genuinely bad for what they have to live under. That said, California epitomizes that great Mencken quote that “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.”
3/24 – Nearly a Million Children Left Behind in Venezuela as Parents Migrate
Not Real SocialismTM
3/25 – Donāt Bail Out the Airlines
While I agree with the post’s title, I’m surprised that the usually really thorough Don Boudreax made no mention of spending on stock buybacks, as opposed to trivialities like R&D. Granted, in Delta’s case it’s not as bad as it first appears,Ā I’d hold off on buying any airline stocks as value purchases. They’re my #1 candidate for the industry that the Dems choose to be the top one that they demonize.
3/26 – āEconomistā Runs Chinese Coronavirus Propaganda Disguised as News
I’m old enough to remember wheb The Economist was a respectable news publication. At some point I’ll have to drop a post about why I dropped my subscription around when Obama was first elected.
3/27 – Why is the Media Exempt from Coronavirus Business Shutdowns?
Good point. And given how they’ve behaved since the breakout started one could make the argument that the media is a threat to public health.
ICYMI – While Nancy Pelosi’s behavior this last week was nothing less than, well, Deplorable, let’s not forget thatĀ The Media Is Complicit in Pelosiās Attempted Extortion
Have a great week – stay safe!
Theyāre literally shitting on a viable treatment for COVID19 to own Trump.
Heās broken them in every way imaginable. https://t.co/6wSzSx8cVe

Itās outrageous that selfish bigots with life-threatening infections are displacing stunning and brave trans people waiting for cosmetic surgery. We need a moratorium on treating straight white cismales who have covid-19 until this injustice is addressed. https://t.co/jOuXcwG0Od

Grasshopper you missed this gem from the TDS fact checking AP https://apnews.com/34f0d353e3cf9b507bed8815ff25b21b
Well lets just fact check them https://apnews.com/34f0d353e3cf9b507bed8815ff25b21b
What if Trump said the sky was blue, the most tremendous blue, big beautiful blue sky? This week one for us.
It is a way to teach math, the shoplifters must add up the stuff to below 950, toilet training isnt as important.
I heard there is a local gas mart selling petrol for 99 cents a gallon, damn I havent been out of the house since it was a buck and a half.
Oh thats how they got the Democrats to sign a 25 thousand dollar raise ..Oh stop it,.nah it was for the children.
EDIT: This one is for me
I wonder, in the most liberal state of the union, what the income inequality is there? Something they don’t worry about that much, I expect.
The liberal media has turned this virus into such an undefeatable genocidal threat that when it IS defeated, Trump is going to be ten times the hero. Thanks, Democrats.
Yeah, welcome to the 18th century, China!
No SkyScreamer character with super sonic screams? Hey… am I a funny book (what I call them to intentionally irritate my friend that is into comics) writer now?
That is the problem with the world today, where Babylon Bee is fact checked… satire needs a disclaimer. It is far too near real life (such as it is).
Luckily we have the left wing media working hard to renovate their reputation here because, well, they aren’t Trump.
Liberals feed off of a bunch of shit that cannot get enough support to become law, so they circle overhead until there is a crisis big enough for them to dump their garbage on emergency aid so it can’t be rejected. How much better life would be without such filth.
I think everyone would agree that it is hard to lie about what Trump says when too many have already heard what he REALLY said. Yet, the left pushes communist Chinese propaganda with glee.
Well, those villagers should be happy to take one for the green team, especially for something that only works partially part of the time.
Links to the wrong story. https://hotair.com/archives/jazz-shaw/2020/03/21/maryland-democrats-reject-gun-violence-bill-amid-gun-violence-epidemic/
Couldn’t they compromise and ask the gangs if the HAVE to shoot someone, shoot someone infected with coronavirus, since they would be going to the hospital anyway? When I think of “common sense gun control”, I think of something like this: punish the criminals, not the lawful gun owner. But, then again, I’m not a useless idiot.
Wow… Biden providing a live stream of spontaneous remarks; that could be BETTER than MST3K. At what point will his aids make him wear a helmet? Of course, this is all entertaining, but I fear too much ridicule might damage his chance of being the Democrat candidate.
But they would do it in a non-racist manner. I wonder at what point a liberal comes to the realization, “Hey… I’m f**king WRONG 99% of the time!”
Maybe Newsome sees 56% infected because he knows no matter what they do, they will screw it up because all the social justice boxes have to be checked before any action is taken. They seem to gravitate towards the stupid. When camping last year, some people from California pulled up in a HUGE motorhome. The guy came out and started trolling us about gun control, then revealed that though he lived in California, he was actually a human being. He loved Texas.
I won’t spend a nickel on the NYT, but I assume the crux of the story is that socialism makes everything equal and better for everyone.
I don’t fly much; at 6’3″, I simply don’t fit in coach and can’t afford 1st class. However, imagine our world WITHOUT air travel or, worse, someone like China swooping in and picking up the pieces cheap.
“The enemy of my country is my friend, as long as Trump exists”. While they won’t present Trump’s briefings because “he lies” (translation: his support is growing with first-hand witnessing of his leadership) they WILL issue communist propaganda. That’s our Democrats.
Because it is “essential” that we get lied to? They should be subjected to a “shut up” order. Finally.
so gavin, a sexual predator and nancy, a drunk, run ca, lmao. combine with the fact that the gov’s in washington and oregon are importing excessive number of chinese illegals for tax, work, and voting privileges. the 2020 census in washington and oregon will be useless except for the profiteering democraps. the govs and most of the state and federal elected officials have heavy chinese business connections and investments.
How about if we were to take 25:000 volt cattle prod and let the dirty liberal democrats have it Come November hope its a nasty surprise for them
Liberals live lives of disappointment and bitterness due to the failure of politicians to fix everything that’s wrong with their lives.
The idea of solving their own problems is anathema to them.
And yet, liberals will elect their own kind to political office, and never understand why those liberals are still “fighting” (never solving) those same problems 60 years later.
I haven’t seen a happy liberal since Hubert Humphrey.
@Meremortal, #5:
Still waiting for the red states to pay back the federal dollars Obama sent to save their butts during the previous recession… They promptly bit his hand and publicly condemned him after grabbing the money. Jump forward to 2020…
From The Hill, March 18, 2020 – GOP embraces big stimulus after years of decrying it
Jump ahead 9 more days… Today the GOP signed on to $2.2 trillion in bailouts and direct cash payments, with White House spokesman Larry Kudlow predicting stimulus totals could ultimately run over $6 trillion.
That’s all on top of a one-trillion-dollar shortfall that was already deemed acceptable before coronavirus had even entered the picture.
Maybe people should hold off on shifting all blame onto the Democrats, at least until the public has had time to forget that this is the result of a bipartisan process.
@Greg: Obama’s “stimulus” went to unions and green industries, which failed.
@Greg:
Maybe other minority of people should hold off irrationally blaming Trump for everything, too.
You first…
@Nathan Blue: Yeah… and maybe COVID-19 will just surrender and go away.
The left has nothing BUT blaming Trump for everything and criticizing everything he does.
Maybe this should have gone into Sunday Funnies instead of here.
March 28, 2020 – 3 Top Stocks to Buy With Your $1,200 Stimulus Check
@Greg: You will, of course, refuse to accept any of Trump’s dirty money… right?
Just late last week Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer was threatening to prosecute both doctors and pharmacists who prescribed (or filled prescriptions) for hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine.
Now, as of last night, she’s BEGGING for these drugs!!!
For a few days hurting Trump was deemed more important than saving lives.
Now she’s pulling a “Never mind,” a la Emily Litella.
