It is official, lockdowns kill. Well, we have always known that, but now we have a number, about 250K deaths. And this is a Johns Hopkins study, one that nevertheless still got the memhole treatment from a corporate media that completely signed onto the non-pharmacological intervention lie. The Nuremberg trials should accordingly include reporters, editors, and publishers. Choices have consequences.
In other legal news, the Brian Flores lawsuit against the NFL is going to be glorious. Even a cursory read through the class action complaint tells you the League is going to be squirming. For one, it hits the disparate impact test that federal courts love and hits it hard. Zero black owners, one black head coach, and a league that is 70 percent black players; SDNY judges love this stuff. Then there is the drama of who will be the first player/coach/exec to join Flores in his claims. You can bet The Shield is working overtime to make sure that never happens.
A tale of two dinners in two pics. Study. Secret word: leftovers.
Pistachio crusted steelhead trout…

You really cannot make up the whole Joe Rogan sitch at this point. It is a parody of a farce and shows no sign of slowing down. Still, it is good to see that Jon Stewart has joined Team Joe. I have long held the theory that Stewart saw all of this totalitarian out-grouping coming and “retired” from The Daily Show rather than have to shill non-stop for the likes of HRC. Witness what has happened to poor Stephen Colbert. A shell of his former fearless self, completely co-opted by the Hollywood Left, humorless and hectoring.
Speaking of Hollywood, what the hell is going on there? Are quotas going to be the defining aspect of creative endeavors?
The Pentagon is hiding something about adverse jab reax. That much is clear.
In other insanity news, we bring you this absolute madness:
During the armed militant takeover of the Seattle Police Department's East Precinct following the death of George Floyd to form the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone in 2020, Seattle officials drafted legislation to transfer the East Precinct to a local Black Lives Matter activist group, according to documents recently obtained by The Seattle Times.
Three memos and a draft resolution about transferring the East Precinct were sent to former Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan from Calvin Goings, the director of the city's Department of Finance and Administrative Services (FAS), in an email on June 8, 2020—the same day SPD evacuated the precinct, leaving the community in danger.
Any student of history would see this as a bizarre echo of Roman or Byzantine officials trying to buy-off rampaging barbarians. Give them something to reclaim the peace, before the city is destroyed. Bonus points: Durkan is a former United States attorney.
Good, solid stuff. Classic bait-and-switch.
Charmeck has gone full Detroit-On-The-Catawba with this bizarre episode of the missing county commissioner. Is she dead?
Lotta confusion, needless drama about this Jeff Zucker stuff. Bottomline, if Discovery does not cut him loose then Team Cuomo will likely get $18m. in a parting gift because the corp’s morals clause will have been shown to be a total sham. What would be interesting is if Discovery shareholders demand a lower, renegotiated price for this Warner Media shitshow, seeing how it is festooned with adulterous, bed-hopping pervs.
Hmmm…
Interesting frame, the Potemkin Economy. Some think the Fed will hike 50 basis points in March. I do not see how that is remotely possible. Study this and get back to me. Maybe I am missing something. To me, “pull forward” is dead.
