Trust the Science you say? Sure. Our kids are two years behind in education. Inflation still rages. White-collar jobs are disappearing thanks to the reversal of Fed policy. Household finances are a wreck. The medical industry is in upheaval. Trust in government has never been lower. Major media is a vat of lies. Young people, even healthy athletes are dying at levels never seen. Populations are still moving from lockdown states like NY and CA to where it is less likely, bringing their liberal waste and garbage with them, thus destroying the last few good states. Surveillance is on steroids and political persecution is totally normalized. Public health is staring into the abyss of nothingness, with substance abuse and obesity all at new records. This is the fallout from the pandemic response that began in March 2020.
We know the new rules–Don’t ever mention the lockdowns or the stupid mask mandates. Please don’t remark about the vaccine mandates that proved useless and damaging and led to millions of professional traumas–yes, some lost their jobs over this idiocy.
Justice Neil Gorsuch calls this “the greatest intrusions on civil liberties in the peacetime history of this country.” Be sure not to mention those at all.
The elites have begun to whitewash and attempt to re-write their failures in a new document Lessons from the Covid War: An Assessment. The authors–Michael Callahan (Massachusetts General Hospital), Gary Edson (former Deputy National Security Advisor), Richard Hatchett, (Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations), Marc Lipsitch (Harvard University), Carter Mecher (Veterans Affairs), and Rajeev Venkayya (former Gates Foundation and now Aerium Therapeutics). These are the people that mandated compliance, condemning as disinformation and misinformation anyone who disagreed with the tactics. They were the architects that replaced representative democracy with quasi-martial law run by the administrative state. The document pushes the notion that we should have surveilled more, and locked down sooner, and thrown billions (more) of tax dollars to create a Covid Commission. The document even has the nerve to say, “all of New England — Massachusetts, the city of Boston, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine — seem to us to have done relatively well, including their ad hoc crisis management setups”–they say this like we’re too stupid to remember that Boston destroyed thousands of small businesses and imposed vaccine passports, closed churches, persecuted people for holding house parties, going to the gym, and imposed travel restrictions. Unfortunately, the lessons they learned are just how far they can really go, and how much they can make us do.
Covid Cocktails –“These motherfuckers had the data pretty early on…And they wouldn’t let it go.” — Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins told Bill Mahar, in reference to the so-called experts. “Somebody was jerking off in an office somewhere laughing about what they got people to do,” he continued. Maher said he understood the need for specific, temporary restrictions if the hospitals had been overrun, adding it “didn’t happen as much as they hyped…I can see draconian measures for a short period of time but then to let something that should have been two weeks drag on for two, three years,” Maher said before Corgan jumped in to remind him of “flatten the curve.”
The video below sums it up well:
More media lies –“The owner of LinkedIn, Reid Hoffman, has had a history of far-left activism. He also was involved in some of these fake Russian bot campaigns to make it seem like there was Russian election interference. That’s the irony here. Here we have actual election interference against someone who’s actually running for office by this company, owned by the same guy trying to blame other countries for it,” said Federalist Editor-in-Chief Mollie Hemingway.
Debt ceiling “Crisis”–“Democrats know they will have to eat a turd sandwich, the Republicans will have to put some Nutella spread on it first,” one House Democrat told the Axios news service. The problem for Democrats is that a majority of Americans agree that Congress should cut at least some government spending if they raise the debt ceiling. That makes Democrats’ position — not to cut spending — untenable and puts Republicans in a good negotiating spot.
On the border- Top House committee ramps up pressure on HHS chief Becerra to testify over child migrant crisis.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, a Republican from South Carolina, traveled to Kyiv on Friday to assure Ukraine’s president that, whatever Republican candidates may say on the campaign trail, the U.S. Congress remained firmly committed to the Ukrainian cause…this d-bag never fails to disappoint.
Meanwhile, still in Ohio…
On the ‘Holy Reparations Batman’ front:
Paul R. Plante says
Is a “government” that is nothing more than a corrupt, inept, incompetent liar really a government?
Or is it merely a mockery?
That is the question which faces us loyal Americans today in the exact same manner Americans in 1776 were confronted with the question of whether a tyranny was really a government when they rebelled against a foreign king.
Carla Jasper says
I’m going to buy some Smashing Pumpkins CD’s. Billy Corgan sounds like someone with a brain. Thanks for printing this and for continuing this effort for truth.
Paul R. Plante says
Not for nothing is the Cape Charles Mirror, unlike and in contrast to the juvenile propaganda mills that are the cowardly and craven mainstream and legacy media, aptly known as a grand palladium of our liberties, sadly, perhaps the only one left in America.
In his political writings, Tommy Jefferson used the word “palladium” to mean “safeguard.”
In the “Cincinnatus II: To James Wilson, Esquire” political essay on November 8, 1787, Cincinnatus spoke thusly as to where we have descended to in America today with respect to the craven mainstream and legacy media which are today nothing more than cowardly government propaganda mills, to wit:
Sir, I have proved, sir, that not only some power is given in the constitution to restrain, and even to subject the press, but that it is a power totally unlimited; and may certainly annihilate the freedom of the press, and convert it from being the palladium of liberty to become an engine of imposition and tyranny.
It is an easy step from restraining the press to making it place the worst actions of government in so favorable a light, that we may groan under tyranny and oppression without knowing from whence it comes.

In contrast, as if looking forward in time to today and the Cape Charles Mirror, on the Philadelphiensis VIII political essay on January 23, 1788, the author stated thusly, to wit:
“This is true liberty; when freeborn men, Having to advise the public, may speak free; Which he who can, and will, deserves high praise; Who neither can, nor will, may hold his peace “What can be juster in a state than this? “
Hail, immortal genius! hail, thou friend of freedom, and of thy fellowmen, whose patriotic pen first wrote this divine sentiment, “Let it be impressed upon your minds, let it be instilled into your children, that the liberty of the press is the palladium of all civil, political and religious rights of freemen.”
This is the scourge of tyrants, oppressors, villains, and blood suckers; the bulwark of freedom, that causes the haughtiest lordling to tremble; an inestimable jewel, that places the poorest citizen on a level with the richest demagogue.
In America the freedom of the press is peculiarly interesting: to a people scattered over such a vast continent, what means of information or redress have they, when a conspiracy has been formed against their sacred rights and privileges?
None but the press.
This is the herald that sounds the alarm, and rouses freemen to guard their liberty.
From this scourge, the parricide, the knave of power and his cringing sycophants have every thing to fear; it hurls fury on the guilty heads of such base characters, and drags them to the public altar.
And through the medium of the press, the good and the patriotic citizen receives the thanks of his grateful countrymen.
The sons of freedom who framed the constitution of Pennsylvania, expresly declared this to be one of the unalienable rights of the people, and therefore it ought not to be restrained.
That some evils attend an unrestrained press, is obvious; but these are infinitely overbalanced by its advantages.
The very salvation of America, I trust, will be wrought out by it; and the conspirators be taken by their own snares, which they so artfully set to seize the liberties of their fellow citizens, to their extreme mortification and disgrace.
Paul R. Plante says
I do believe that he is talking about Joe Biden here with respect to assuming to himself powers not given by the constitution, and establishing himself in regal authority as if he were in fact our king like George III, or dictator a la Joe Stalin:
Genuine Information IX
by Luther Martin
January 29, 1788
The president thereby has the power of pardoning those who are guilty of treason, as well as of other offences; it was said that no treason was so likely to take place as that in which the president himself might be engaged — the attempt to assume to himself powers not given by the constitution, and establish himself in regal authority — in which attempt a provision is made for him to secure from punishment the creatures of his ambition, the associates and abettors of his treasonable practices, by granting them pardons should they be defeated in their attempts to subvert the constitution.
Paul R. Plante says
In the “Genuine Information IX” political essay by Luther Martin on January 29, 1788, we find these words as well which describe the clear and present danger Joe Biden and his political appointees such as Peter Paul Montgomery Buttigieg, Gina Raimondo, Tony Blinken, Jake Sullivan, Janet “TOODLES” Yellen, Wally Ademyemo, his pet poodle Merrick Garland, Jennifer Granholm, Miguel Cardona, Alejandro Mayorkas. John “Jackie Boy” Kerry, and Sandra L. Thompson represent to our liberty and our future as a free people as they assume more and more control over every aspect of our lives as American citizens, to wit:
To that part of this article (Constitution Art. 2) also, which gives the president a right to nominate, and with the consent of the senate to appoint all the officers, civil and military, of the United States, there were considerable opposition — it was said that the person who nominates, will always in reality appoint, and that this was giving the president a power and influence which together with the other powers, bestowed upon him, would place him above all restraint and controul.
In fine, it was urged, that the president as here constituted, was a king in every thing but the name.

And yes, Joe Biden very much is a king in his own mind, anyway, and a dictatorial one, at that, and his lackeys and lickspittles treat him as such to our detriment as a free people!
Paul R. Plante says
It is said that the Taliban say prayers of thanks for the idiocy and stupidity and ignorance and incompetence of American president Joe Biden, who they consider a great benefactor of their cause by giving them free American armaments and high-tech military gear with no strings attached:
Task & Purpose
“Taliban moving captured US military vehicles and Soviet tanks to Iranian border”
Story by Jeff Schogol
1 June 2023
Video shared on social media shows the Taliban sending U.S. military vehicles captured from the former Afghan National Defense and Security Forces along with some ancient Soviet-era tanks to Afghanistan’s border with Iran following a recent skirmish about access to the Helmand River.
Should hostilities increase between the two sides, Taliban fighters will have thousands of vehicles at their disposal that were paid for by American taxpayers.
More recent videos posted to Twitter purportedly show Taliban convoys of American-made Humvees and M117 Armored Security Vehicles enroute to Afghanistan’s Iranian border.
In addition to M117s and Humvees, the Taliban also uses American-made MaxxPro Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicles and M113 armored personnel carriers, said Vishal Sengupta, a research analyst at Janes, a defense intelligence firm.
A top Taliban official told reporters in February 2022 that Taliban fighters had captured roughly 61,000 military vehicles and 26,000 heavy weapons in the final days of the Afghanistan war, according to Al Jazeera.
The Defense Department has estimated that the former Afghan government had about $7.1 billion in military equipment provided by the United States when the Taliban took over the country.
Moreover, a non-public report from the Defense Department to Congress in March 2022 found that between 2002 and 2021, the United States had given the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces more than 96,000 ground vehicles, including 53,180 general purpose or light tactical vehicles, 23,825 Humvees and nearly 900 armored combat vehicles, according to the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction, or SIGAR.
