To review past posts on this insanity and idiocy, just click on the first few posts in each month listed to the right of this page. After reviewing just a handful of these insanity posts we think you will agree that we are currently being served by the worst set of American politicians ever to hold office in our entire history.
1) For a long time I did a monthly set of posts under the theme, “I am a global warming doubter and a believer in science.” The basic premise of the theme was that global warming advocates, who morphed into climate change advocates when their global warming predictions failed miserably, only looked at research and opinions that confirmed their myths. They refuse to even consider that maybe global warming was not the bad thing, or anything, they thought it was.
For whatever reason, there has not been a lot of myth busting that has had to be done lately on the whole climate change topic. I don't know why but at least for now the subject has been kind of dead. Thus, the article summarized below, while it would have fit into that overall theme, it is not enough to fill up a whole post.
Thus, I have decided to kick off today’s political class insanity discussion with that article since it again shows how politicians’ global warming warnings, predictions, and doomsday scenarios never quite seem to happen:
- Back in September, 2019, a ship carrying 16 climate change advocates got under way to measure how rapidly the ice was melting up towards the North Pole.
- Good start, people going out to prove or disprove their theories, very scientific.
- Unfortunately, their ship got stuck in ice halfway between Norway and the North Pole.
- Keep in mind this was in September, the end of summer, not the dead of winter when everything is much colder.
- According to the Maritime Bulletin: "The ship is on an Arctic tour with the Climate Change documentary film team, and tourists, concerned with Climate Change and melting Arctic ice. All 16 Climate Change warriors were evacuated by helicopter in challenging conditions, all are safe."
- But this was not the first time this had happened, back in July, 2019, the middle of summer, another ship got stuck up there, too much ice.
- In July, the ice was ten feet thick and chainsaws and the 20,000 horsepower engine of the boat in July could not allow the boat to push through.
- According to Klassekampen, a Norwegian newspaper: “Polar bears were seen on Bjørnøya this past winter – located in the middle of the Barents Sea– which shows that the ice edge was very far south.”
2) We have often discussed how important a strong, aggressive, unbiased press is to a strong democracy. A strong press that acts in integrity, is the gatekeeper of truth and reality, both of which are needed to keep the political class in line and make sure our freedoms are not being endangered.
Unfortunately, the free press in the country today is anything but unbiased and in integrity. Various news entities have taken sides and present only news, and present it in a biased way, to support the side of the potential spectrum they are on. Rather than protect a democracy and the truth, they disdain democracy, reality, and truth, advocating for their own biased positions.
Unfortunately, such was the case in the aftermath of the Capital fiasco earlier this week. Rather than be an instrument of peace and try to understand all aspects and sides of a problem like real journalists, ABC News went all Nazi right out of the gate:
- Rick Klein, of ABC News, said that: “Trump will be an ex-President in 13 days. The fact that getting rid of Trump is the easy part. Cleansing the movement he commands is going to be something else.”
- He made this horrific statement via his Twitter account which he later deleted but not before screen shots were captured and circulated around the Internet.
- He included his remarks in an official ABC News article, an article that was later edited to be less Nazi like.
3) The whole covid mess had been going on for at least ten months. The search for a vaccine has been going almost as long. Which means the political class knew that at some point in time there was going to be a need for a mass vaccination process to be implemented.
But the politicians in charge had time. Months and months of time to set up procedures, establish websites and social media accounts to promote and explain those vaccination procedures, set up the infrastructure that could be put into action as soon as the vaccinations were on their way.
They could have done all of that, a process that should have resulted in the quick, immediate and efficient distribution of the vaccine doses as they became available. Being this efficient would like save lives and prevent untold millions from getting the virus.
But alas, being efficient is not in the vocabulary or ability of most American politicians:
- Nowhere has that failure been as evident than in New York state and New York City.
- Despite having ready to go vaccine doses on hand, both the state and city governments screwed up completely in not having processes and procedures in place to quickly distribute the shots despite the lead time they had.
- The New York Times pointed out that on a recent weekend day, more jets took off from JFK airport in NYC than doses of vaccines were distributed in the whole city.
- The failure to efficiently distribute the vaccine has been so complete that many doses have had to be destroyed because they were past their useful life, i.e. life saving vaccines were thrown out because they could not be distributed quickly.
- Of course, as always, New York Governor Cuomo, blamed everyone else but himself for the failure to get the doses out in time and in a timely manner.
- After his administration took some severe heat for their failures, Cuomo decided it was not his fault, again, and blamed the local governments for their ineptness.
- He blamed mayors like NYC’s de Blasio to manage the issue: “I need them to take personal responsibility for their hospitals. This is a management issue of the hospitals. They have to move the vaccine, and they have to move the vaccine faster.”
- He has threatened hospitals with stiff fines because he failed to provide a process to get the vaccines out as soon as possible.
Consider what was done in DC when the vaccine supply was about to expire: rather than throw out the spoiled vaccine doses, the city government encouraged health care providers to give doses to anyone who wanted it regardless of where they fell in the priority listing. Better to get vaccines out to anyone who could get it before the usefulness of the vaccine spoiled. Rather than work that great approach to maximize vaccination supplies, Cuomo, as is typical, just bellyached how he was not responsible. Typical politician attitude, blame everyone but themselves.
As a side note, I recently read an article that in the late 1940s, the return of smallpox to New York City obviously created a health emergency. Within one month of the first smallpox identification, the entire city population of NYC, 6 million people, had been vaccinated.
That is how incompetent today’s politicians and governments have become: 60 years ago 6 million are vaccinated in 30 days or so. Today, vaccines go bad before they can be used despite the government bureaucrats and politicians having nine months to come up with a plan. Insanity.
That will do it for today: another massive government failure and show of incompetency, the free press goes Nazi, and global warming advocates get stuck in massive ice jams… in the middle of the summer, proving again why it is sane to be a global warming doubter and a believer in science.
