Biden is doing the Dems a huge disservice by selling the lie that the election coming up is not legitimate. It's all the excuse they need to not change course for another two years, setting up Trump's run together with GOP majority in both the House and Senate.

Biden isn't selling anything. He's a feeble, senile, sleazy old grifter who goes out there when he's told to go out there and says what he's told to say in his earpiece by Ron Klain and others. When he's done he shuffles back behind the curtain, has some more tapioca, craps his pants again and waits for them to tell him what to do next. A cardboard cutout and a cassette tape would be more actively selling anything than Baidan at this point.

DeSantis displays three of Alinsky's Rules for Radicals in his fundraising commercial selling Fauci flip-flops. Rule 5: Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. Rule 6: A good tactic is one your people enjoy. Rule 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it.

He has a sharp staff that seems to enjoy its job.

“When Terry McAuliffe announced he thought parents should not be telling schools what to teach’ - therein lies the rub: the Dems wholeheartedly believe the “smart sect” (I.e. them) should be in charge & are entitled to rule/lord over us rubes by virtue of their “credentials”. They’re “the experts” who know better than us deplorables in all matters. We’re the “Great Unwashed” who are too stupid to be entrusted with any decisions.

Basically what they seek is a reinstitution of the feudal system with them as lords & us as vassals. This dovetails into the “class resentment” remark from Bari Weiss.

A great recent substack post by boriquagato - boriquagato.substack.com/p/alberta-gets-caught-palming-cards

We all know how the cases and deaths rise sharply after the first jab, and how those giving us covid stats generally count those cases and deaths as "unvaccinated" as long as the covid diagnosis gets done within the first 14 days of the jab. Clearly this is bullshit.

Well, el gato references another substack that caught Alberta, CA accidentally giving the public some details (and then quickly deleting those details, natch) on just how badly they're dumping jab events on the unjabbed. Very illuminating. A short read, so very very worth it.

I will read that, but Berenson had an item along those lines as well. First of all, my wife heard a CBS news item claiming that little kids under 5 are being hospitalized, some in ICU, we need to shoot 'em up. But:

https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/real-covid-hospitalization-data-from

Real Covid hospitalization data from San Francisco General Hospital

72% of Covid patients are vaccinated (including 26% who are BOOSTED)

One in three is an incidental admission (has Covid but not admitted for Covid). Several of those are likely pregnant women (L&D is labor and delivery).

And NOT ONE is a child.

Wow. Shaking my head - a thing I do a lot these days...

Well, I guess the whole piece isn't exactly short, but the first part, which focuses on what I mention above, is. As is the the piece boriquagato references, which is here metatron.substack.com/p/alberta-just-inadvertently-confessed

The graphs are stunning

My husband (42) and me (39), as well as our kids (7 and 10) are all pure blood 1%ers. We both have master’s degrees, though I was indoctrinated in undergrad and grad. I am just old enough to have also learned the importance of source documents and data, which undoubtedly is the source of my shock that so many are simply too lazy to look at the data for themselves. I generally reject the idea it takes a high IQ to read 4th grade bar graphs. We also recognize our financial position afforded us options that aren’t as easily available to the service class.

While the “educated” might make up a big portion of the anti-vaxxers, the highly “educated” - largely with medium incomes - also make up a huge percentage of the woke forcing these ridiculous and dangerous vaccines on their children. There is some combination of factors outside formal education at play.

I haven’t equated “educated” with actually intelligent in a long time. They are decreasingly linked even if the results of gatekeeping allow more of us with more degrees to be able to afford to think for ourselves. Not a single “educated” person I know was ever given a “super genius” pill at any point in their formal education, myself included. 🤷‍♀️

I've been looking for this exact information for a couple months now. Thank you SO MUCH for the link - both it and the links within are super useful.

Someone pointed out the other day that in Iceland (pop. 300K) after the last financial crash they jailed 26 bankers (or was it 36). Here? Not a one.

Well, they jailed the brown skinned Indian guy who had nothing to do with the crash but who was getting inside info. They jailed him, as if all the pretentious dullards at Goldman, JPM, et al live by any other means themselves.

I would think it would be pretty central to their prosecution for fraud too.

I'm aware of those laws. I cannot explain why the mandates haven't been challenged on that basis--if they had been, we would have heard about it. I'm sure the lawyers handling those cases are experienced and knowledgeable.
