It’s not as if this HCQ stuff will harm you other than in very exceptional situations. It’s that if you are old and falling apart, the CV-1984 is likely to kill you. And it’s also not as if there are not plenty of doctors who actually believe HCQ will prevent you from dying and that it will even cure you. Here’s the short version: Hydroxychloroquine Lowers COVID-19 Death Rate, US Study Finds

And this is the very long version but at least give it a start. Hear him say, “we are letting patients perish unnecessarily.”

Andrews is the most vile premier this state has ever had. We have had incompetence before, also immense waste and hideous policy formation. But if he is really forbidding the use of HCQ on people who will otherwise die, this man is actually evil.

AND AS I WAS SAYING: President Trump talks hydroxychloroquine.

President Trump during a Tuesday White House briefing discussed his belief that the drug hydroxychloroquine can be helpful in combating the coronavirus, though he noted that the debate over the drug has become a political issue.

“I can only say that from my standpoint and based on a lot of reading and a lot of knowledge about it I think it could have a very positive impact in the early stages, and I don’t think you lose anything by doing it, other than politically it doesn’t seem to be too popular,” the president said. “You know why? Because I recommend it. When I recommend something, they like to say, ‘don’t use it.’ “

The point is, of course, that there are cretins everywhere that would rather people died than use a remedy that has been suggested by the President of the United States. There really is no excuse for such fools in politics but they are everywhere. People even vote for them.

__________Previous post below the line________
Victorian Premier Dan Andrews says federally regulated aged-care providers are struggling to maintain staffing levels and basic standards of care. Picture: David CroslingFront page story in The Oz: Coronavirus Australia: Governments argue as elderly death toll rises with Dangerous Dan gracing the page online. Apparently, “Daniel Andrews said he would not send his mother into federal homes, prompting Scott Morrison’s Health Minister, Greg Hunt, to retaliate by declaring the deadly outbreak was a result of the state government’s bungled hotel quarantine regime.” For Dan to criticise anyone demonstrates how beyond shame and remorse this fellow is. He is great at creating wasteful building projects to employ construction workers (btw how are the tunnel and the train lines going?) but for anything to make Victoria the place to be, he is a complete waste of time.

Let me however raise the issue of Hydroxychloroquine. Apparently it really does stop Covid-1984 in its tracks and there is plenty of evidence for its effectiveness. But if the choice is dead people or demonstrating that Donald Trump might have been right about something, well that’s how it’s going to be. This from Instapundit today.

SHUT UP,’ THEY EXPLAINED: Donald Trump Jr. Suspended from Twitter For Sharing Video on Hydroxychloroquine.

UPDATE (FROM GLENN): Why is Twitter waging war on science? Hydroxychloroquine Is ‘the Key to Defeating COVID-19’, Says Yale Epidemiologist.

This is Dr Simone Gold discussing HCQ:

This is further discussion on AMERICAN DOCTORS ADDRESS COVID-19 MISINFORMATION WITH SCOTUS PRESS CONFERENCE which brings more to light.

Expertise is now becoming a very tarnished coin. Neither you nor I know the true answer to what will or will not work, but HCQ is absolutely ruled out while Victoria becomes the New York City of Australia (and I don’t mean that nicely). BTW did you see Dr Fauci at the baseball yesterday without a mask? I’ll bet he knows plenty about how dangerous CV-84 is that he never says in public.

“The biggest embarrassment on campus”

Mark Steyn writes about Mike Adams. I had never heard his name before but this is the saddest story I have come across in the academic world. Go to the link and read the story yourself and then listen to the audio with Rush Limbaugh. There is insanity everywhere, but academic insanity in the United States must surely have reached its peak, although perhaps not.

This is pure evil

Let me give the final para The Key to Defeating COVID-19 Already Exists:

In the future, I believe this misbegotten episode regarding hydroxychloroquine will be studied by sociologists of medicine as a classic example of how extra-scientific factors overrode clear-cut medical evidence. But for now, reality demands a clear, scientific eye on the evidence and where it points. For the sake of high-risk patients, for the sake of our parents and grandparents, for the sake of the unemployed, for our economy and for our polity, especially those disproportionally affected, we must start treating immediately.

What do we have to lose, isn’t that right, Daniel? Sociologists are themselves overwhelmingly part of the problem so won’t study any of it. Nor will they study this:

There is nothing but hatred and evil in their hearts.

The left is the party of hate and malice

This is the start of an article by Roger Kimball.

Denis Diderot, model of the French Enlightenment that he was, gave memorable expression to that movement’s inveterate anti-clericalism. “Man will never be free,” said the energetic Encyclopédiste, “until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest.”

They don’t talk much about kings and priests, but the civilization-hating anarchists of the Black Lives Matter movement would applaud Diderot’s sentiments. Although they sometimes wrap their destructive actions in fine-sounding rhetoric about justice and anti-racism, what they are really about is hate.

Recapping Thursday’s madness, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany noted that “A federal agent’s hand was impaled by planted nails, another federal agent was shot with a pellet gun, leaving a wound deep to the bone, and tragically, three federal officers were likely left permanently blinded by the rioters using lasers pointed directly into their eyes.”

No wonder Brooks Brothers, Nike, Uber, and practically every other wretched business you have ever dealt with are falling all over themselves to proclaim their solidarity with Black Lives Matter and committing to end “systemic racism” in the United States.

How to explain the mind-boggling disjunction between the violent savagery of the BLM crusaders, on the one hand, and the nauseating spectacles of frightened though congratulatory self-abasement by the white elite, on the other? Are the latter pleased by the news emanating from Portland and similar enclaves of vicious woke sentimentality?

Please don’t talk to me about the violent career criminal George Floyd. As I have noted repeatedly, the violence engulfing various Democratic-controlled cities has nothing to do with Floyd’s demise. “The death of George Floyd in Minneapolis on May 25,” I wrote in early June “is merely the pretext for the violence. The cause is hatred.”

Let me end with the penultimate para which sums it up.

You might think that thugs rampaging through the streets of our cities are imperfect representatives of any “enlightened age.” In fact, ignorant though they are, they are proud and legitimate progeny of that echt Enlightenment figure Karl Marx, whose abiding passion was hatred of the civilization that created him and whose legacy was tyranny, immiseration, and death—wrapped up, naturally, in sweet-sound bulletins about the brotherhood of man and the ultimate emancipation of human aspiration.

Malice and hatred is what brings the masses to the streets, and all the better since they can pretend to do what they do for only the most noble reasons they can conjure. Reptilian and repulsive, but what is there to defend ourselves with?

The corruption is obvious to anyone who is willing to notice what is going on

From Instapundit:

JULIE KELLY: Brookings Institution: A Key Collusion Collaborator: The liberal think tank helped perpetrate one of the biggest frauds in political history on the American people.

These are from the comments:

Who in the Democratic Party wasn’t part of the conspiracy to overthrow a lawfully elected president? Anyone?

When a businessman buys a company, they generally want to keep the staff around because they’re the ones with the experience, institutional knowledge, and social connections to get the job done. The expectation is that the staff will be reasonably loyal to the guy who signs the paycheck. That does not apply in politics, quite the opposite. I daresay Trump knows better now, but the damage is done.

Also, as a complete outsider to politics inside the Beltway, Trump did not have his own binders full of names as replacements for many of the positions he was entitled to fill. He also didn’t have people who owed him favors. In the end, he had little choice but to go forward with many holdovers from the Obama administration and plans to gradually replace them as time and opportunity permitted. Unfortunately, he got sidetracked by the Russia Russia hoax and never had the luxury of building an administration in his own image the way his predecessors did. We voters who picked Trump BECAUSE he was an outsider could not have anticipated how difficult it would be. Who among us on January 21, 2017, expected a Special Counsel investigation that would run 3 years and was designed to hobble his presidency or an impeachment?

For the first two years of Trump’s presidency the Republicans controlled the House and Senate. They could have shut down Mueller anytime they wanted, and investigated what was already known about the spying by the Obama administration (and we know so much more now). They could have done that but they did not. Mitch McConnell has prevented Trump from appointing anyone who might actually look into what has been going on, and Ol’ Mitch can only do that with the support of the Republican Senators. They are in this up to their necks too, that’s why nothing has happened. If Trump does nothing else, he has revealed how complicit the Republicans have been in this whole squalid mess.

The irony is all Democrats had to do was wait Trump out, then they could return to ending the Constitution with no one willing to stop them. But they just couldn’t wait and decided to start burning down the country instead.

Do you suppose Trump picked Barr? Do you know how it works? The AG has to be approved by the Senate. That means Ol’ Mitch McConnell decides who gets in. Why do you think Ol’ Mitch hasn’t put the Senate into recess during Trump’s presidency? The absolute last thing Ol’ Mitch is going to allow is for Trump to appoint someone who will actually start investigating what they have all been up to.

I think the American people have had a very great many frauds laid upon them. They ain’t seen nothing yet.

From Bari Weiss Knows What ID Scientists Already Knew.

New York Times opinion journalist Bari Weiss submitted her very public resignation today. It’s a must read, and it will remind you at once of the world scientists in the intelligent design community have long occupied.

“Forays into Wrongthink”

Some excerpts:

[A] new consensus has emerged in the press, but perhaps especially at this paper: that truth isn’t a process of collective discovery, but an orthodoxy already known to an enlightened few whose job is to inform everyone else….

I was always taught that journalists were charged with writing the first rough draft of history. Now, history itself is one more ephemeral thing molded to fit the needs of a predetermined narrative.

My own forays into Wrongthink have made me the subject of constant bullying by colleagues who disagree with my views. They have called me a Nazi and a racist….

New York Times employees publicly smear me as a liar and a bigot on Twitter with no fear that harassing me will be met with appropriate action….

There are terms for all of this: unlawful discrimination, hostile work environment, and constructive discharge. I’m no legal expert. But I know that this is wrong….

Part of me wishes I could say that my experience was unique. But the truth is that intellectual curiosity — let alone risk-taking — is now a liability at The Times…. [S]elf-censorship has become the norm.

… If a person’s ideology is in keeping with the new orthodoxy, they and their work remain unscrutinized. Everyone else lives in fear of the digital thunderdome. Online venom is excused so long as it is directed at the proper targets.

Op-eds that would have easily been published just two years ago would now get an editor or a writer in serious trouble, if not fired….

All this bodes ill, especially for independent-minded young writers and editors paying close attention to what they’ll have to do to advance in their careers. Rule One: Speak your mind at your own peril….

I’ve always comforted myself with the notion that the best ideas win out. But ideas cannot win on their own. They need a voice. They need a hearing.

How do Democrats get a single vote?

On Saturday, protesters broke in and lit a fire inside. The building itself was covered with graffiti.

Fox News, by Bradford Betz Original Article
At least two people were arrested in Seattle and a police officer is in the hospital Sunday after a march through downtown devolved into property damage and looting, police say. Police said Sunday evening the demonstrators had broken out several windows of the East Precinct, then threw a device into the lobby that ignited a small fire. The fire was later extinguished and no injuries were reported, police said. The demonstration started between 2 and 3 p.m. near the intersection of 3rd Avenue and Pine Street. A photo posted on Seattle’s DOT traffic channel showed crowds blocking an intersection.

Bill Barr appoints immigration judge who’s
a fmr director at FAIR, known for hard-line
immigration policies
BizPac Review, by Vivek Saxena Original Article
Members of the left are upset that Attorney General Bill Barr has appointed an immigration judge who actually respects and believes in America’s immigration laws. “The judge, Matthew J. O’Brien, was officially named to his new position in the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Executive Office of Immigration Review (EOIR) in June — but was just formally inducted into the largest ever corps of immigration judges along with 45 others,” Law & Order, a far-left news website, complained Saturday. “‘From 2016 to 2020, he served as the director of research at the Federation for American Immigration Reform.’ … The group, known in immigration law circles by its acronym, FAIR,

The Seven Deadly Sins and the evil of the modern left

Posted on by

This chart put out by the Smithsonian in Washington disappeared too rapidly since it really does say what needs saying about the modern left. It is evil to its very core. Everything listed on that chart are seen as bad. White Culture is seen as bad. If you want to understand politics in the West today, you need to absorb what you are being explicitly told. These values, these beliefs are bad for you and bad for any society in which these occur.

What you see in this chart is the explicit rejection of the Seven Virtues and the adoption of the Seven Deadly Sins. Here they are in order as represented by the moral vultures seen everywhere on the left.

Envy is the resentful covetousness towards the traits or possessions of others.

Sloth is a habitual disinclination to exertion, a desire for something for nothing, the belief that the world owes them a living.

Greed is a rapacious desire and pursuit of material possessions but without first attempting to produce the valuable goods and services that could be exchanged for what they want.

Wrath is uncontrolled feelings of anger, rage, and even hatred. In its purest form, wrath presents with injury, violence, and hate.

Pride also known as hubris is identified as dangerously corrupt selfishness, the putting of one’s own desires, urges, wants, and whims before the welfare of other people. It is considered the original and most serious of the seven deadly sins.

Lust is usually thought of as intense or unbridled sexual desire. However, lust can also mean unbridled desire in general; thus, lust for money, power, and other things.

Gluttony is the overindulgence of anything to the point of waste.
