The Death of the Experts & the Media/Governmental Complex

From the beginning of the COVID pandemic, there were various people from the Trump side and middle clamoring for the experts, government and media to examine the potential for the virus to have escaped from the lab in Wuhan. Those championing the need to examine this possibilities were derided by the media, Democratic politicians as well as the experts in the establishment as being crazy, anti-science, conspiracy theorists, etc. Fast forward a year and a Trump loss in the election and suddenly the experts, the media, and Democrats are suggesting it is “possible” that the lab leak “theory” is actually what happened.

Today, I see another of the many articles suddenly appearing in the media about this. One by Thomas Frank at Yahoo News https://news.yahoo.com/wuhan-lab-leak-hypothesis-true-102749505.html really caught my eye. As I read it, it really conveyed what most conservatives and libertarians have been saying about the media, the experts, and government. Mr. Franks own writing gets to the heart of the problems facing the liberals and the worldviews: the lack of critical thinking by the media and the left, their inability to believe that Trump might be right, Trump isn’t as stupid as they all believe, socialist/communist governments never lie, and experts would never hide facts that might be inconvenient for them.

With respect to COVID and Wuhan, there was ample data to suggest the lab leak as a cause of the virus rather than it hopping from animal to human and a deep dive of the facts was warranted. However, just like the Russia hoax perpetrated by Hillary and her shills within the media and government, the liberals were too blind in their faith of “experts”, government, “intelligence” officials, etc. to see the data, especially if Trump was saying it. Once again, it looks like Trump will prevail on the matter.

For an entertaining walk through their revelation/epiphany, I suggest you read the whole thing.

Bongino Has the Goods on the Media and their war on the Police

On Friday’s Bongino Rumble podcast, Dan has the original body cam footage of the tragic shooting of Adam Toledo. He compares it to the one shown by CBS, and it is interesting that CBS appears to have cropped out the footage of a brief glimpse of Toledo holding a gun. Dan does an excellent job of explaining the incident from an officer’s perspective.

In the same episode, Dan takes on how a cop could mistake his taser from his handgun. Dan discusses the Force Science article on the matter https://www.forcescience.org/2021/04/unintended-a-theory-of-taser-weapon-confusion/. Dan also brings a real world example of this for those of us in our 40s or older can relate to.

I encourage you to go to Rumble and watch this episode https://rumble.com/vfqapt-ep.-1501-what-theyre-not-telling-you-about-the-recent-police-shootings-the-.html.

Papa John’s Founder & Former CEO Vindicated?

You may recall the that Papa John’s Pizza founder and former CEO John Schnatter was forced out in 2018 after it was reported that he used the N-word on a phone call. It was the WOKE cultures first real scalp of any significance. Tyler O’Neil has a column today at PJ Media that goes through the sordid affair and presents facts that should cause all to pause before reacting to the cancel culture. Be sure to read the whole thing.

Sovereign Crime

Jay Valentine has a post at The American Thinker that should be read by all regardless of your views of the 2020 election.

Get Ready. Inflation is coming!

You are starting to hear financial gurus begin discussing the inflation we are experiencing. The biggest problem with inflation stats collected by the U.S. Government is that they often exclude the very things rising in price from their calculations. This produces an artificially low number and puts those working hourly jobs behind the inflation 8-ball. If a hourly worker’s wages were adjusted by a true measure of the cost of living, we would be in a much better place.

FBI: All politics now?

I think Dinesh has a great point and is likely what is happening. We know that progressive politics has become part of their culture as you can see from the people they go after.

Rush Limbaugh R.I.P.

Yesterday we learned that Ma Ha Rushie died. It is hard to believe that the noon to 3 PM ET space will no longer have his voice live. It has been about 30 years for me as a listener. I learned a tremendous amount from him about conservatism, politics and the unyielding attacks from the left. I believe history will look kindly upon him as a bastion of freedom and liberty in an otherwise dour period of time Rest in peace Rush. You will never be replaced, and the rest of us will pick up the mantle and move forward.

GAMESTOP Vs. THE USD

I find it hilarious when the ignorant speak on financial matters. Look no further than Sen. Elizabeth Warren (a/k/a Pocahontas). Her recent letter to the SEC (https://www.warren.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/01.29.2021%20Letter%20from%20Senator%20Warren%20to%20Acting%20Chair%20Lee.pdf) purports to concern whether the market for GME reflects the true underlying value of GME.

Sen. Warren, can you please tell me what value you’re referring to? Fundamental value? Well, if you’re talking that, then the entire market is overvalued. What are you going to do? Shut it down? After all, at some point, the bubble will explode. Where is the consideration of that?

If she wants to really concern herself about something that matters, she should concern herself with the currency of the US, i.e. the USD. The federal government has so overspent USD that the most incredible short in the history of mankind is there. What happens if these Reddit investors decided to sell their shares and demand physical currency? Who has physical currency any longer? No one. What happens when the banks can’t deliver the currency? They implode. We’ll be here on the sidelines watching it happen. That would probably be the ultimate blow to the establishment.
