At Last, An American Sports Team To Be Proud Of

 

images from the linked article

The Blue State Conservative blogsite pops up occasionally on my searches.  Monday’s column by P.F. Whalen -- "At Last, An American Sports Team To Be Proud Of" -- caught my eye.  Here’s his feel-good conclusion:  

Even if you don’t enjoy golf, if you missed this weekend’s Ryder Cup competition you missed a marvelous spectacle, and you missed an opportunity to observe true American greatness. We had a great bunch of young men play their hearts out and win the coveted Ryder Cup for their country. We witnessed fans chanting “USA, USA,” and players urging on those chants. There was no kneeling or turning their backs on their flag, like we saw certain Olympians do. There was no one casting shame on our country or pointing out how bad we are for things that happened 156 years ago.  There was fist-raising, but it wasn’t in protest, it was in jubilation.

There is much about modern American athletics to be disgusted by. The NBA’s coddling of their gravy train known as China. The NFL’s promotion of having two separate national anthems based on your melanin levels. And MLB’s kowtowing to ridiculous leftist opposition to improving election integrity. And many of the athletes in those sports don’t just accept the nonsense, they propel it. But our 2021 Ryder Cup Team gave us an opportunity to forget about those absurdities and focus on America as it should be. Unified, happy, and unparalleled. God bless the 2021 U.S. Ryder Cup Team.

One Option: Do Not Comply

 

Hannah Cox at FEE (Foundation for Economic Education) has an encouraging story on how Americans can resist and choose not to comply with police-state directives:

4 Ways Americans Are Fighting Back Against Anti-Science COVID Restrictions

What’s more American than apple pie? Civil disobedience.

In the US, it would be easy to believe the vast majority of people are in lockstep with the government’s pandemic policies. Networks are aflush with headlines claiming their polls show a majority of Americans support policies like masks and vaccine mandates, and detractors are painted as fringe.

Every good politico knows that, with the right framing, you can get a poll to say anything you want it to. But aside from the unreliable nature of the polls and headlines dominating our airwaves, there is another problem with the media’s reporting: they never seem to elevate stories that tell a counter narrative.

One doesn’t have to look far to find examples of Americans who have simply had enough of the anti-scientific and unconstitutional COVID mandates. We know, and have known for over a year, that the majority of masks in use provide little benefit in warding off the coronavirus. Additionally, studies have shown that mask mandates failed to reduce COVID deaths, hospitalizations, or even cases. And on top of all of that, we consistently see the same leaders who push these unscientific mandates on the rest of us flout the rules whenever it suits their fancy—like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at the Met Gala or San Francisco Mayor London Breed partying at a local jazz club.

Vaccine mandates present similar problems. Besides being flagrantly unconstitutional and a violation of bodily autonomy, these mandates ignore the natural immunity that millions of people have built up.

The rules only get sillier and more nonsensical from there. . . .

COVID: 30 Facts You Need To Know

 

Mark Wauck at MeaningInHistory has a summary via ZeroHedge and The Off Guardian:

Covid: 30 Facts You Need To Know

The piece under the above title appeared at The Off-Guardian and is gaining attention. I’m mostly pasting in the 30 points, but under each point at the original (or at Zerohedge, if you like the formatting better) there is a short exposition. Mostly I don’t include the explanation—with relevant links. In some cases I add content. You can scan the content here, decide whether to read the entire original, or selectively look up certain topics.

PART I: “COVID DEATHS” & MORTALITY

1. The survival rate of “Covid” is over 99%. Government medical experts went out of their way to underline, from the beginning of the pandemic, that the vast majority of the population are not in any danger from Covid.

[Yes, he really said that, and it seems he was right—the numbers bear him out. Do you think he was just mouthing off without having a clue what he was talking about? No, he was repeating what scientists all knew when this first started. The[n] The Memo came out that changed the narrative … ]

2. There has been NO unusual excess mortality.

3. “Covid death” counts are artificially inflated. Countries around the globe have been defining a “Covid death” as a “death by any cause within 28/30/60 days of a positive test”.

4. The vast majority of covid deaths have serious comorbidities. In March 2020, the Italian government published statistics showing 99.2% of their “Covid deaths” had at least one serious comorbidity.

These included cancer, heart disease, dementia, Alzheimer’s, kidney failure and diabetes (among others). Over 50% of them had three or more serious pre-existing conditions.

This pattern has held up in all other countries over the course of the “pandemic”. An October 2020 FOIA request to the UK’s ONS revealed less than 10% of the official “Covid death” count at that time had Covid as the sole cause of death.

The other 26 points are here.  It’s a handy and reasonably comprehensive overview - especially good to have at hand when your well-meaning friends and family try to persuade you to get the "vaccine."

Lee Greenwood is the latest to be cancelled

 

Lee Greenwood's "God Bless The USA" is President Trump's usual entrance music at his rallies, including yesterday's event in Georgia.  And the Biden administration can't be anywhere near that.  Jon Dougherty at BizPacReview reports:

The Biden administration’s purge of appointees to various government advisory boards by prior presidents — mostly Republicans — is continuing with the dismissal of country music great Lee Greenwood from the National Council on the Arts.

During an interview last week with “Fox & Friends,” Greenwood explained that he was initially appointed to the board by President George W. Bush then served throughout President Barack Obama’s two terms and President Donald Trump’s single term, adding he was shocked to get the letter advising him he was being replaced.

Greenwood, who wrote the country anthem “God Bless the USA,” which was a favorite of the late President Ronald Reagan and has become a fixture at Trump’s rallies, suspects that politics may be behind the decision to remove him from the arts council.

. . .

Politics?  No kidding.  The full report is here, and you'll read about other firings & dismissals of Trump advisers (Sean Spicer, KellyAnne Conway, etc) from non-partisan positions.  I am so old I can remember when Team Obama enlisted the National Endowment for the Arts to design and promote his Hope artwork/logo.  Partisanship.

Physician’s Declaration on COVID-19

Richard Moorhead at BigLeaguePolitics reports:

3,000 Physicians, Scientists Sign Declaration

Accusing Governments of “Crimes Against Humanity”

Through Covid Regime 

More than 3,000 physicians and scientists have signed onto a ‘Physician’s Declaration’ fiercely criticizing governments and societal institutions for restricting genuine debate and discussion on mitigating and treating the coronavirus as of Friday evening.

The declaration was pioneered by Dr. Robert W. Malone, a scientist credited with inventing the mRNA vaccine technology utilized in the developing coronavirus vaccines. Dr. Malone had hosted a three-day Global Covid Summit in Rome, Italy, comparing experiences with other medical and scientific professionals in the coronavirus pandemic and criticizing authoritarian responses to the disease on the part of world governments.

The Physicians’ Declaration website profiles some of the accomplished medical and scientific professionals who have added their voices to the document.

Click here for the text of the Declaration.  Among the signatories are three doctors we have cited previously on this blog -- Dr. Robert Malone, Dr. Peter McCullough, and Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche.

For the “I Am Spartacus” open letter about COVID-19, outlining medical facts, government-peddled misinformation and propaganda, and objectives behind all that propaganda, click here (it is VERY long, and I’ve gotten only as far as page 5).  And it has endnotes with links galore.

NIH Study Concludes Ivermectin Works!

 

Good news.  Timothy Shea at magainstitute.com reports:

NIH Study Concludes Ivermectin Works!

Because we’ve come to expect nothing but cover-ups and anti-science diktats from NIH and its subdivisions, NIH has published on its website and article in the July-August issue of the American Journal of Therapeutics that concluded that “large reductions in COVID-19 deaths are possible using ivermectin.”

The study authors continued, “Using ivermectin early in the clinical course may reduce numbers progressing to severe disease. The apparent safety and low cost suggest that ivermectin is likely to have a significant impact on the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic globally.”

Of course, those of us who have been listening to tip-of-the-spear doctors with integrity—like Dr Bryan Ardis, Dr Richard Bartlett, Dr Eric Nepute, and America’s Frontline Doctors and others—knew this months ago, but it’s nice to know that Medicine, Inc. is FINALLY admitting the truth.

. . .

Better late than never.  Read the rest of the report here.
