Now, Fauci’s excuse is not to deny that the funding happened (something he did originally because he’s a liar), but rather, to claim that the funding did not go toward manipulating the specific viruses that could have led to COVID. In the video, he keeps yelling about the “literature” from the studies proving that the viruses manipulated could not have developed into the coronavirus.
There are two issues with that. One, money is fungible. Even if what Fauci is saying is true, the NIH sent money to the Wuhan Institute of Virology to help pay their bills. That is an undeniable fact. Fauci’s argument is a lot like those that claim government funding to Planned Parenthood doesn’t go toward abortions because it’s supposed to go towards rent instead. Of course, it does go toward abortions because money is fungible. If you give money to someone to pay for something in one area, that frees up money to be spent in another area. Also, the simple fact that we were sending these people money at all, no matter where it went, is bad enough, and Fauci should be excoriated for that alone.
Dr Fauci turned out to be a true politician!
First he lies NO funding at all. Then when confronted with the facts he moves the goal post and said NO funding for this virus stuff!
I don't know who is right, but one of these people checked four boxes for lying:
1. Word-thinking ("not gain of function") 2. Attack the critic personally 3. Change the topic 4. Anger when trapped https://t.co/AhR8vgoJjw
… the media mislead or flat out lied! That 156 times is not all the times the media lied or mislead the public … just how many times it was documented. Now what did they lie about? Donald Trump of course.
Our repeat mistakes involve declaring that Trump’s claims are “lies” when they are matters of opinion, or when the truth between conflicting sources is unknowable; taking Trump’s statements and events out of context; reporting secondhand accounts against Trump without attribution as if they’re established fact; relying on untruthful, conflicted sources; and presenting reporter opinions in news stories,without labeling them as opinions.
The United States ranks last in media trust — at 29% — among 92,000 news consumers surveyed in 46 countries, a report released Wednesday found. That’s worse than Poland, worse than the Philippines, worse than Peru. (Finland leads at 65%.)
Jack is surprised US trust in media was a whopping 29%.
“We are deeply concerned by the blocking of Twitter in Nigeria,” Twitter’s Public Policy division tweeted in response. “Access to the free and #OpenInternet is an essential human right in modern society. We will work to restore access for all those in Nigeria who rely on Twitter to communicate and connect with the world. #KeepitOn.”
So let’s get what Twitter is saying.
“Access to the free and #OpenInternet is an essential human right in modern society.”
But when Twitter bans people from there platform it’s fine?
Access to the free & #OpenInternet is an essential human right in modern society… unless you’re Donald Trump. Or reporting on Hunter Biden’s laptop. Or discussing the biology of gender. Or the murderous dictator of Iran. Or a Chinese Communist Party peon lying about COVID. ???????????
Marcus’s point about Fauci’s willingness to lie in order to cause Americans to alter their behavior is the most important.
Clearly, Fauci doesn’t mind hiding truths from us or giving us more accurate data in order for the American people to make well-informed decisions. Fauci clearly believes that we should be acting a certain way and, as a result, decided to use his platform to feed Americans information for the purposes of manipulation.
Yep time after time Dr Fauci lied to manipulate the public for a certain outcome and he still hasn’t got it right! The media played right along and if Trump said anything EVERYBODY screamed … FOLLOW THE SCIENCE!
Hmmmm … Jack is thinking! Isn’t that exactly what our politicians do? So Dr Fauci has morphed form a scientist to a politician to get an outcome and he wanders why people don’t trust what he’s telling them.
After retrieving data on the CDC website, Briand compiled a graph representing percentages of total deaths per age category from early February to early September, which includes the period from before COVID-19 was detected in the U.S. to after infection rates soared.
Surprisingly, the deaths of older people stayed the same before and after COVID-19. Since COVID-19 mainly affects the elderly, experts expected an increase in the percentage of deaths in older age groups. However, this increase is not seen from the CDC data. In fact, the percentages of deaths among all age groups remain relatively the same.
The court found that the entertainment at the two strip clubs involved in the case is “constitutionally protected speech” and concluded that “the harm to [the strip clubs] if the Application is denied is greater than the harm to [the government] if the Application is granted.”
Jack understands these poor girls are just trying to make a living. You know pay their college tuition ect. Now he must demand that they wear mask, wash hands after every lap dance and social distance 6 feet. That 6 feet thingy might be a problem.
Now the court has ruled this a free speech issue. All the strip clubs that Jack has been to he didn’t witness much speech at all. The music is so loud can’t really hold any kind of conversation.
When any politician tells a whopper that can be “fact checked” with video or audio and shows the politician is telling a whopper of a lie … that’s fine.
Now AP and MSN is “fact checking” Trump when he makes a “prediction!” Trump has made a prediction that there will be a vaccine for the Wuhan virus soon. Now soon would be before the end of the year. That would be record time for any vaccine development. AP and MSM is calling that a lie NOW?
Jack ask again … how can you call a prediction a lie when it hasn’t happened “BEFORE” it was predicted to happen?
Have you noticed that everyone has become an expert? Have you noticed how many times an “expert” says one thing and then the next week says just the opposite! Lets take a look at some “experts.”
WHO (World Health Organization). They started with NO human to human transmission, no reason to stop international flight/travel and have evolved to world wide lock down. They got their info from China. Now this is one of the “experts” that we actually PAY! WHO got everything wrong. Wear a mask, don’t wear a mask … they just can’t make up their mind. Trump says no more money for WHO. Jack says good riddance. US does not need to pay for a “political” organization that align with countries that wish to do US harm.
Lets look at Dr Fauci. Jack thinks this man means well but if you look back on everything he has said he got a lot of it wrong and he is “THE EXPERT.” Just this week he came out saying prolonged shutdown will do irreparable damage. Just last week he warned about opening up for business could be devastating. Wear a mask, don’t wear a mask … he just can’t make up his mind, This is the major problem with being an expert. They never can say … I JUST DON’T KNOW.
Now lets look at the media. CNN put together an all star panel.
Two former Obama political hacks, CNN expert Dr. Sanjay Gupta (which at least is a Dr.) and Greta Thunberg which has no knowledge of anything but political activism and really very little of that. Finally hosted by Anderson Cooper which is only an expert in homo sexuality if even that. These are CNN’s “EXPERTS” that are telling us what to do.
Here is what Jack has seen that is constant among most experts. Find out what Trump says and say the opposite but then Trump is no expert like these guys and dolls.
Jack is an expert in calling out stupid experts. That’s all he is good at.
(CNN)Former President Barack Obama told college graduates that the “folks in charge” don’t always know what they’re doing in rare public criticism of the Trump administration on Saturday.
Obama criticized the handling of the coronavirus pandemic without mentioning President Donald Trump by name, just a week after privately critiquing the administration’s response to the Covid-19 crisis.
“This pandemic has fully, finally torn back the curtain on the idea that so many of the folks in charge know what they’re doing. A lot of them aren’t even pretending to be in charge,” the 44th President said during a virtual commencement address for historically black colleges and universities.
“If the world is going to get better, it’s going to be up to you,” he added.
The politics of shame and ridicule has always been somewhat in play. Barack Obama takes it to a level not seen for a long time. Why does he do it? Because it works! But is really funny when CNN calls this … What leadership sounds like!
Now that is hilarious because Donald Trump can and does the game of shame and ridicule very well but … the MSM and all the rest don’t say … This is what leadership sounds like. They call him out and say he is a terrible leader!
Anyway Barack Obama has other things to think about.
Sooner or later someone is going to flip to save their own neck and when that happens all the shame and ridicule won’t help him.
Texas has opened up to get back to normal with certain restrictions for businesses.
Jack says this is a good thing. He will still wear his mask though for awhile longer. For all those celebrities that keep saying … WE ARE ALL in the same boat. No your fcking not! Just shut up.
