In the early winter months we paid scant attention to the Coronavirus story developing in China. And why should we have? After SARS, almost twenty years ago, then minor scares such as Swine Flu, Ebola, Zika Virus, Flesh Eating disease, along with past potential terrors like Avian Flu and Foot and Mouth Disease, there was no reason to think this was anything but another sensationalized false alarm. Indeed, an honest investigation, not even one all that rigorous, could easily have demonstrated that this was the case.
However, the last nine months have been nothing but an absolutely dedicated, well organized and diligent global effort to re-brand the common flu as a devastating pandemic just barely under control.
We have been asked to turn to some of the most trusted people in our civil society, Doctors and Professors, the types of professionals whom we would least expect to lie to us or to deliberately mislead us. They have sworn an oath to heal, to do no harm; they are dedicated to the search for the truth, borne out of diligent research and a rigorous scrutiny of the data. If they gravely and repeatedly tell us that we are at great risk and that things can and will get much, much worse very quickly then who are we to question their wisdom and their warnings?
The suddenness and unrelenting persistence of this great Covid lie wears us all down.

Skiing has become an unlikely, but bitter, political faultline dividing European countries as they seek a response to the latest phase of the pandemic
"If you go out on a Saturday morning to the grocery shop — you can't tell me that's less dangerous than spending five minutes in a télécabine and then being out on the wide open slopes," said Mr Granvik, who has taken on more than 30 staff for his hotel and restaurant business for the winter season. Closing the pistes to halt coronavirus "makes no sense whatsoever", he added.
Standing by the icy river Reuss for a photograph as the snow rakes across the ground, Mr Granvik, 35, said the uncertainty caused by the coronavirus pandemic meant bankruptcy was something he recently had to worry about for his seven-year-old business.
In a Friday evening video posted to social media (which currently has 4,700 'thumbs up' vs. 141 'thumbs down'), Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco called out Newsom's "dictatorial attitude toward California residents while dining in luxury, traveling, keeping his business open and sending his kids to in-person private schools," which he called "extremely hypocritical."
Ironically, it wasn't that long ago our same governor loudly and publicly argued how wrong it was for the President of the United States to withhold federal funding from states not complying with federal laws.
What are the details?
McConaughey recently spoke to fellow entertainer and British actor Russell Brand and discussed the attitudes of those on the "far left" when it comes to dealing with their conservative peers and working-class Americans.
Brand began:
"We live in a time, I feel, in my country and yours, where there's this sort of ... condemnation and criticism of what I might describe as ordinary working people. A kind of offhandedness, like, 'Oh, they're dumb, they're voting for Brexit, they're voting for Trump.McConaughey responded:
"I don't like it, and I don't like to hear it. I've spent enough time with people that have been described in this manner to feel ill at ease with it. How do you feel about ... that kind of judgment? Do you feel that there is a way of meshing together these apparently disparate groups right now?"
"I hope so. ... Let's get aggressively centric, I dare you. It's not a recessive, it's an aggressive move. There are a lot [of people] on that illiberal left that absolutely condescend, patronize, and are arrogant towards the other 50%."He went on to explain that many people on the "illiberal left" are hard-pressed to get along with those on the right.
Comment:
The High Court granted a petition from Harvest Rock Church in Pasadena that sought to overturn a lower court's ruling in favor of Newsom's restrictions.
The ruling cited the Supreme Court's decision last week in a similar case in which it ruled in favor of faith groups that challenged New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's (D) worship restrictions.
Liberty Counsel, which represented Harvest Rock Church, noted that Newsom's restrictions are "more severe than those in New York."
"Governor Gavin Newsom's orders ban ALL in-person worship for 99.1 percent of Californians," the nonprofit litigation firm stated, adding that while Newsom has banned the majority of in-person religious services, "warehouses, big box centers, shopping malls, liquors stores, family entertainment and destination centers, gyms, fitness centers, and museums receive preferential treatment with either no capacity limits or no numerical limits."
The law firm said Newsom's pandemic "Blueprint," released in August with a system of four tiers, "discriminates against religious meetings in churches and places of worship in every Tier."
It was through the hard work of "radical black organizers" engaging in a "protracted struggle for our lives against police terrorism" that Black Lives Matter attracted millions of dollars in contributions this year, yet the BLMGN only recently invited selected chapters to apply for a $500,000 grant, ten chapters from across the US said in a statement this week.
"This is not the equity and financial accountability we deserve," they declared.
On the night of November 3, as the results from largely 'in-person' votes were tallied across the nation, by all appearances, it looked as if President Donald Trump was headed toward a resounding victory against his Democratic challenger, Joe Biden. Then a water pipe broke in the arena where the Fulton County, Georgia election results were being tallied, prompting a delay in the counting of mail-in ballots. In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, election officials stopped counting mail-in ballots at 9.30pm on election night, resuming the tally at 9.00am the next morning. In Detroit, poll watchers were locked out of the vote counting room, raising concerns about transparency as election officials processed tens of thousands of mail-in ballots.
Noah Cyrus, a Grammy-nominated musician better known as the younger sister of superstar Miley, targeted author and conservative commentator Owens over her recent comments criticizing a Vogue photoshoot featuring One Direction singer Harry Styles in a dress.
"He wears this dress better than any of u nappy a** heauxz," she wrote beneath a photo of Styles in said dress on her Instagram story.
Cyrus's words drew the ire of mostly conservatives, after her use of the racially charged term was highlighted by author Rob Smith on Twitter.
DeKalb County responded to an Open Records Request from The Georgia Star News to produce the ballot transfer forms that formed the critical chain of custody link in the absentee ballots deposited in the near 300 drop boxes in the state and transported to county election offices in a letter received on Friday that said the county did not know if such records exist.
Earlier this week, the Secretary of States' office told Breitbart News that it did not know how many of the 1.3 million absentee ballots cast in the 2020 general election were delivered by mail vs. drop box, but the counties should know.

J.B. Shurk, who frequently publishes at American Thinker, wrote a knock-out article for The Federalist about Joe Biden's magical performance in the election. You should read the whole article, but here are four things that don't pass the smell test:














Comment: One wonders what has enabled Switzerland to defy the nefarious agenda that leaders of other countries have enforced with glee? Perhaps its governance by direct democracy played a role? Either way, it exposes the manufactured crisis that is destroying freedoms and livelihoods elsewhere in Europe for the sadistic farce that it is: 'And that no man might buy or sell': Welsh government to roll out 'coronavirus vaccine ID cards'
