They cancelled the fireworks show

Apparently, the neighborhood didn't get the memo.  It sounds like WWIII out here.  Nice view.

It's the 4th

I drove all day to get home.  I'm currently out back with scotch and a cigar.  That is all.

About that surge in "coronavirus-related hospitalizations"....

Yeah.  The key word is "related", and it's only key because the media is a bunch of anti-American Democrat propaganda artists who want you to remain scared.

“It’s been widely reported that the hospitalization rate has been going up, but it’s not reported that it’s not mostly COVID-19,” Dr. Siegel continued. “It’s actually the cases that were there because of the reopening, because they are now getting the elective surgeries they need – cancer operations, heart disease operations, hernia operations – they are filling the hospitals. Only COVID-19 is actually getting in the way of all of that because these mild cases require isolation.”

I have been assuming that any of the breathless reporting on the Kung Flu Death Virus is complete and absolute bullshit.  And with very few exceptions, I've been correct.

The lockdown is based on junk "science" by garbage scientists.

And you know it.  You know it in your bones.

Ioannidis did not spare modelers who predicted as many as 40 million people would die, or those who claimed the US healthcare system would be overrun. 

“The predictions of most mathematical models in terms of how many beds and how many ICU beds would be required were astronomically wrong,” Ioannidis said. “Indeed, the health system was not overrun in any location in the USA, although several hospitals were stressed.” 

Conversely, he added, these actions had detrimental effects on the US health care system, which was “severely damaged” because of measures taken.

I'm at the point where if the government calls for another shutdown, I think we need to march to our local seats of government and start erecting gallows.

I'm at my parent's house

We've had to light a fire in the stove to warm up the house tonight.  In JULY.

Al Gore can kiss my ass.

Enjoy your diversity, New England Democrats!

Pitchfork wielding protesters in the Hamptons.  Didn't Barry Jug-Ears O'Bumblefuck buy a Hamptons Estate?

A caravan of protesters — some wielding plastic pitchforks — descended on the Hamptons Wednesday to blast the rich and decry the nation’s rising income inequality.

Enjoy the movement you spawned, you cock-gargling bastards.

Heh. Size Matters

Not so much "heh".  Forcing people to wear masks is social conditioning.

The pore size of cloth face coverings range from ~ 20-100 microns.   The Covid virus is 200-1000x smaller than that, at 0.1 microns. Putting up a chain link fence will not keep out a mosquito. Even the most esteemed medical journals admit their purpose is to calm anxiety. “Expanded masking protocols’ greatest contribution may be to reduce the transmission of anxiety …” 

Of course, by knowledge or common sense observation, most Americans already know that masking everyone is superstition. But unlike privately carrying a lucky charm, mandating facial coverings requires the consent of the governed.

I'm sorry folks, cloth masks don't do shit to stop a virus.  They can stop dust.  Pollen.  Other allergens, depending on the size.  But not a virus.  And the people telling you that a mask will protect you are flat out lying, or they're dupes themselves.

Leftists: Why don't you right wingers trust science? Also Leftists: THAT SCIENCE DOES NOT SUPPORT OUR NARRATIVE! BURN THE WITCH! BURRRRRRN HIM!

Gosh, tell me about how much the Left just f**king loves science again?

Michigan State University leaders have successfully pressured Stephen Hsu to resign from his position as vice president of research and innovation after the Graduate Employees Union launched a campaign to oust him from his role. 

This came after the union, which represents teaching and research assistants, crawled through years of blog posts and interviews Hsu had conducted and criticized him for sharing content on genetic differences among different races. 

But the main thrust to oust Hsu came because the professor touted Michigan State research that found police are not more likely to shoot African-Americans.

If you want to know why so many Americans are ignoring and rejecting the so-called "experts", all you have to do is look at the actions of said so-called "experts".  Opera, non verba.  Deeds, not words.  And the deeds of these Marxist, anti-American parasites is anything but scientific.

If the Seattle mayor wasn't such a dumb communist bint, she might have read some relevant portions of the bible

Such as "As ye sow, so shall ye reap".

She called CHOP the “summer of love” shortly before it became a season of slaughter: Three people have died in the CHOP, including a teenager this past weekend. Residents who did not choose to live in CHOP — they didn’t cross its borders, CHOP’s borders crossed them — now live in fear of Wokistan’s thought police backed by the zone’s armed warlord. 

Durkan has said she would send in the city crews and police to dismantle CHOP, but so far she has not. CHOP, the segregationist, secessionist confederacy of woke campus radicals and others, remains. But it seems that even a mass squatting protest that makes national headlines — mostly detrimental to whatever cause they’re pushing — has not attracted enough attention. 

Earlier today CHOP took its protest straight to the mayor’s house. The Blaze reports Mayor Durkan was upset.

To hell with Seattle and every Leftist who lives there.  They deserve each other.
