Dr. Brytney Cobia said Monday that all but one of her COVID patients in Alabama did not receive the vaccine. The vaccinated patient, she said, just needed a little oxygen and is expected to fully recover. Some of the others are dying.
“I’m admitting young healthy people to the hospital with very serious COVID infections,” wrote Cobia, a hospitalist at Grandview Medical Center in Birmingham, in an emotional Facebook post Sunday. “One of the last things they do before they’re intubated is beg me for the vaccine. I hold their hand and tell them that I’m sorry, but it’s too late.”
…
“A few days later when I call time of death,” continued Cobia on Facebook, “I hug their family members and I tell them the best way to honor their loved one is to go get vaccinated and encourage everyone they know to do the same.”
“They cry. And they tell me they didn’t know. They thought it was a hoax. They thought it was political. They thought because they had a certain blood type or a certain skin color they wouldn’t get as sick. They thought it was ‘just the flu’. But they were wrong. And they wish they could go back. But they can’t. So they thank me and they go get the vaccine. And I go back to my office, write their death note, and say a small prayer that this loss will save more lives.”
Do you imagine she is this condescending to an ODing junkie or someone with lung cancer?
I’ve been depressed and suicidal because of my mom’s onlyfans
I’m 13 and my mom is 33. Things at school were never great. I’m sorta short so I get picked on some but it was manageable. That was, until one of my classmates showed me a picture of my mom naked. I almost had a panic attack and had to be excused from the classroom. I ended up not showing up to school for a few days(faking sick). I was hoping that things would cool off but they didn’t. As soon as I got to school almost everyone in my class was staring and laughing at me. This has been going on for about a week now. I was wondering how my classmates even got the pictures and apparently my mom advertises her onlyfans on her personal Twitter account. Some students from my school follow her so they were able to see the nudes and they have been spread everywhere. I don’t even have a Twitter so I didn’t know about any of this.
The worst part is when I confronted my mom about this she told me that I was overreacting and that sex work is basically the same as working at a bank or a grocery store. She also said it makes her feel good about herself and that I should be happy that she’s more confident now. I told the principal but they can’t suspend thousands of students or take anyone’s phones. I’ve been crying in my room everyday for the past week. I don’t think I can take it anymore.
I’m gonna be honest… I had a hard time cranking my hog to this Penthouse letter.

Sure…
“I hug their family members and I tell them the best way to honor their loved one is to go get vaccinated and encourage everyone they know to do the same. …
They thought it was a hoax. They thought it was political.
Your sanctimonious horseshit is a hoax and people like you have made it political.
Is this one of those “My brother wasn’t vaccinated and now he’s dead from COVID” tweets that 25 people post with exactly the same wording?
Reminiscent of the “I hounded my terminally ill father into voting for Biden before he died” brand of virtue signal. I don’t believe it’s true, but if it is she’s one of the worst humans on the planet. And if it isn’t she slightly less horrible but still horrible for making up a sick story for the virtue points.
We just need a little follow up with that hospital…
I’m admitting young healthy people to the hospital with very serious COVID infections
This could well be true, but I would bet my own money that its not every single person admitted for COVID, which is what she implies.
Are you implying that a gunshot wound is not more important than the ‘vid?
It’s possible but statistically unlikely assuming they really are young, healthy, and don’t have comorbidities. I would be unsurprised, to the extent this is happening, to learn most of these people are seriously overweight.
Seems to me that Cobia is a shitty doctor that hasn’t figured out how to treat COVID yet.
We have drugs and protocols that work.
I saw TMBG at a small club in Chicago in the 80’s. It was glorious. Thanks for the happy flashback, SF.

“I was wondering how my classmates even got the pictures and apparently my mom advertises her onlyfans on her personal Twitter account. Some students from my school follow her so they were able to see the nudes and they have been spread everywhere.”

Also:
How dare they not make the whole entire world revolve around me! I was told that I’m all that matters and I’m the most important person on the whole planet!

Like that’s all that hard.
You notice how they move right past that and straight to the glurge.
Too bad reddit is mostly just an advertising platform for sexworkers. At least he’s getting digital sympathy from a tiny nonperverted slice of it.
Digital sympathy is a really great euphemism for what that kid’s friends are doing to his Mom’s pictures.
Digital Sympathy is also the name of a Daft Punk album.
The entire story totally isn’t some 4Chan fuckwit trying to start shit between the ‘Sex Work Is Healthy And Natural’ and the ‘Bullying Is The Worst Thing Ever’ wings of the wokeocracy…
Do you imagine she is this condescending to an ODing junkie or someone with lung cancer?
Unquestionably.
Same here. I see no reason she wouldn’t tell a junkie or someone with lung cancer its all their fault.
Plus, she’s hugging people? Unvaccinated people? In the middle of the pandemic? What happened to social distancing? Keep in mind, she is exposed to COVID every day at work.
Like Wizzleteats says below. She’s either full of shit or she’s a fucking murderer.
That’s what I want from my healthcare professionals. Huggy, touchy feelies, and a stern lecture on my dead relative.
It’d be repulsive, if I actually believed a word of it.
Debate Erupts Between Trusted Medical Doctor And Dr. Fauci
Disney’s Animatronic Biden Praised As ‘Incredibly Realistic’ After It Short Circuits, Has Speech Malfunction
Dammit, they just keep getting better and better. They’re running circles around The Onion these days.
“Dr. Brytney Cobia said Monday that all but one of her COVID patients in Alabama did not receive the vaccine. The vaccinated patient, she said, just needed a little oxygen and is expected to fully recover. Some of the others are dying.”
“Some of the others” is … one? Two? Out of how many? How old are they? Do they have underlying conditions? Are they dying with COVID or of COVID?
Naah … who needs facts when you’re trying to short-circuit logic with an appeal to emotion?
I’m sure it’s one out of thousands and that poor lady has to watch them all die. She’s a saint I tells ya, a goddamn saint.
It’s just the vid all the way down. Now shutup and be afraid.
Any significant numbers of young people being intubated and dying is either patent horseshit (it’s this) or this lady’s an Angel of Death (unlikely but maybe they need to look into it).
Everything she wrote is blatantly false, and that has already been discovered.
So they thank me and they go get the vaccine.
How could she possibly know where they went, what with being knocked unconscious and all? That’s how that story would end, if I were starring in it.
She knows because they left a note on her car, scrawled in what looks like chocolate pudding.
Good grief. Both of those stories are so transparently false propaganda….who buys that shit? My answer to both: Fuck off.
“who buys that shit?”
Every useful idiot on the planet. And my god there are oodles of them.
I definitely believe all of this happened because it was in Alabama, which is one of those dumb states full of stupid people who voted for Trump, not one of the smart states full of smart people like me.
A certain color? Nah, it just fits in too perfectly with the ‘Bama stereotype. Sanctimonious and self-serving drivel…

Good.
GOP Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy on Wednesday pulled all five of his Republican members from Pelosi’s partisan January 6 committee after the Speaker vetoed his appointment of Reps. Jordan and Banks.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday rejected two of McCarthy’s Republican picks for her highly partisan January 6 committee. …
“With respect for the integrity of the investigation, with an insistence on the truth and with concern about statements made and actions taken by these Members, I must reject the recommendations of Representatives Banks and Jordan to the Select Committee,” Pelosi said. “The unprecedented nature of January 6th demands this unprecedented decision.”
They really like the word “unprecedented” for things that have a shit ton of precedent.
McCarthy responded by pulling all five Republicans and said Pelosi was abusing her power.
“Speaker Nancy Pelosi has taken the unprecedented step of denying the minority party’s picks for the Select Committee on January 6. This represents an egregious abuse of power and will irreparably damage this institution. Denying the voices of members who have served in the military and law enforcement, as well as leaders of standing committees, has made it undeniable that this panel has lost all legitimacy and credibility and shows the Speaker is more interested in playing politics than seeking the truth,” McCarthy said in a statement.
The only way to win is not to play.
The whole commission is what they call “talking past the sale”. They aren’t investigating whether there was a conspiracy or insurrection. They’re investigating how deep that insurrection goes and how many thousands need to go to jail and/or be silenced.
It will be used by the Dems to unseat some GOP reps (or at least an attempt will be made)
It’s like everything that they complained about Trump was just telegraphing what they wanted to do.
My take on it is that the midterm elections are gonna be about a bunch of Dem seats flipping Red as the Rs retake the House, and none or almost none of the Rs will get unseated.
That’s usually what happens in midterms, plus Biden is fucking up the economy spectacularly.
I mean that Congress this session will attempt to remove members using Jan 6 investigation.
And nothing will happen to the D’s who aided antifa/BLM rioters and criminals or interfered in judicial proceedings, or the members of Congress who are overtly racist and bigoted.
Seven months ago, I would have said that was nuts.

“A Massachusetts couple have filed a federal lawsuit against eBay, accusing the e-commerce giant of subjecting them to a systemic campaign of cyberstalking and harassment in which former employees sent live spiders, a bloody pig mask and a funeral wreath to the victims’ home.
David and Ina Steiner, from Natick, say in their 93-page complaint filed in Boston federal court on Wednesday that the Silicon Valley company engaged in a conspiracy to ‘intimidate, threaten to kill, torture, terrorize, stalk and silence them’ in order to ‘stifle their reporting on eBay.’
The Steiners, who run EcommerceBytes, an online newsletter focused on the e-commerce industry, say they found themselves on the receiving end of death threats, bizarre deliveries, and in-person surveillance from eBay workers.”

At least five counties in Michigan are reportedly moving ahead with the destruction of data from the 2020 Election on the voting equipment they used in the election. The problem with this is that the procedure that the vendor is performing reportedly removes all data from the machines but federal law states that information related to the 2020 Election is to be maintained in safekeeping for 22 months after the election. Also, all the counties in the state have been provided a ‘cease and desist’ order preventing them from removing the data from the machines.
The most secure election EVAR:!:
So secure that we must destroy the evidence that we are legally required to hold for nearly two years even with a specific legally binding order not to destroy it!
Removing batteries will destroy data.

I used to think Australia and New Zealand would be nice places to visit.
They were, or at least NZ was – never made it to the place where everything wants to kill me. What really makes me shudder is the thought I had of expatriating there.
If everything in Australia wants to kill you already, then covid should fit right in, and is logically way down the list of priorities for things to protect yourself again. The only reason cricket is so popular in Australia is because the bats work so well to fend off the mosquitoes.
I visited Australia a couple of times. So beautiful. And the people were great.
There was a sign of authoritarianism, though. I got two speeding tickets from a speed cam. Each ticket was something like $400 for exceeding the speed limit by less than 10 mph. Within 90 seconds. And the Aussies online all claimed that these outrageous speeding tickets were completely normal.
And mandatory bicycle helmets for adults.
Britain sounds mad for speed cams too (govt, not the populace).
Same thing in Germany. Got two of the damn things when we were there in February of 2020.
{Raises hand}
The Netherlands (Groningen, more specifically); cost me more money to wire the fine to the Dutch Justice Bureau (or whatever the Hell they were calling it) than the fine itself.
I don’t know if it works this way everywhere, but in our case the auto-rental company just added it to our bill. We didn’t have the same experience in Ireland, but there I get the impression most folks see speed limits as just sort of a suggestion.
One thing that I really liked about Germany is no speed limits on their highways. Did you get the tickets inside construction zones? Those were numerous on the roads and had speed limits.
Both in Heidelberg proper. Most of the settled areas seemed to have speed limits. Even the small towns around the Odenvald where we went for a long drive had signs and, presumably, camera traps.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FhwxHCR_IoQ
That’s the sort of thing you should expect in Germany. Ordnung muss sein.
I got speeding tickets in Spain, but there they have signs warning you that speed cameras are ahead. Too bad my Spanish was rusty at the beginning of our visit.

The whole Alabama COVID story is just a master class in omission.
To pick just one example, they never say how many patients have died in her hospital from (excuse me, with) COVID.
Alabama is averaging 0.169 COVID deaths per 100,000. That’s per day, 7 day trailing average. Alabama has just under 5mm people, so that’s around 8 – 9 per day. Grandview is a pretty decent-sized hospital (434 licensed beds), out of 15,000 statewide, so they have around 3% of the state’s beds. They are one of the bigger hospitals, so they will get more than their share of COVID/ICU patients. My guess is they lose 1, maybe 2 a week, on the high side.
But all two, 100% of them looked her in the eye and regretted their life choices!
More math:
Hospitalists work shifts. Different hospitals have different shifts, but one week on, one week off is probably the most common. A hospital that size will have more than one hospitalist at a time on duty. Its utterly implausible that she saw more than half of their COVID patients die, and more likely a quarter at most. So if the numbers are working so far, and they have lost 6 over the last month, she sees maybe, at most, 2 COVID patients die in the last month.
Do I even need to say it? You know that math is white supremacy…
I also find it unlikely a hospital of that size, with that many ICU beds, also has a hospitalist as the primary provider in the ICU (not impossible, but less likely). If they’re that sick, they’re being managed by the pulmonologist/intensivist.
When facts don’t fit the narrative, you much change the facts.
rheeeeee – the monster has no feelz!
I have noticed the propoganda around young healthy people dying is picking up. They must be realizing that the people not getting the Vax are young healthy people, and trying to ramp up that effort by scaring them.
Ironically, the lies by people like this doctor just make people who are aware even more skeptical of it all.
And even that is bullshit because, as I recall, “we are going to treat every death with covid as a death of covid.”
Is that stunning and brave doctor in Alabama just straight up lying? She’s due a big fall if so, like that woman in Florida.
See above. I strongly suspect this is almost entirely built on omissions. With the full context, the story becomes less useful as propganda.
A good rule is if a story sounds almost too perfect, it’s going to turn out to be false.
It is pure appeal to emotion. Of course it is false.
Is there a doctor? I don’t think many 19 year old progressive socialists gender studies majors had PHDs.
I bet right before that story, she was in a grocery check out line calling out racists in line ahead of her and they all backed down and issued groveling apologies. Much woke, many brave, warrior who never rests.
I’ll take the fucking Daily Double for shit that never happened, Alex.

My 4 year old just said, “Daddy, expect more stories like this as the powers that be in both the government and the mainstream media seek to reinforce the narrative that vaccine skepticism is dangerous and must be censored, and anyone spreading such misinformation must be deplatformed immediately as they are literally killing people.”

Where there is this tidbit:
Wyatt, Mitchell said, was diagnosed with strep and staph infections and COVID.
Strep and staph can both kill you (I think, not sure about strep). Staph in particular is something you can catch in the hospital.
And the drug resistant forms…
“It’s MRSA. It’s always MRSA.”
— Dr. Eric Foreman, House, M.D.
I mention about 6 months ago that our doc insisted our son had covid even though by all accounts it was strep.
One round of antibiotics and he was good. My faith in that doc suffice to say is shot.
There will have been so many cases like this. It’s a fucking travesty.

I didn’t ask if *she* had tried anal…

Ooh, sassy head-bobbing. Is the Z-snap next?
By they time they quasi-admit Paul was right, they’ll have moved on the next lie.
Oh yes it will be. “Well yes Fauci lied to Congress, but to push for him to be prosecuted for it is purely political”

Teaching children to be racist.
Fairfax County Public School (FCPS) district sent out a resource — intended to be a “teacher facing item” — which defined Critical Race Theory, among other progressive ideologies, and explained how to implement the ideologies in the classroom. Examples included “culturally relevant pedagogy,” “institutional/systemic racism,” “anti-racism education,” “anti-hate education,” and more.
The district defined Critical Race Theory as an “interpretive framework” that “examines the appearance of race and racism across dominant cultural modes of expression.”
“In adopting this approach, CRT scholars attempt to understand how victims of systemic racism are affected by cultural perceptions of race and how they are able to represent themselves to counter prejudice,” the PowerPoint reads.

According to my model
Public health researchers on Tuesday called the rapid rise in coronavirus cases and hospitalizations in Arkansas a “raging forest fire,” and the state’s top health official warned that he expects significant outbreaks in schools.
The model by the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences’ Fay W. Boozman College of Public Health projected a daily average of 1,039 new cases over the next week. The model also predicted an average increase of 169 new cases per day in children under the age of 17.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), is creating its own rain using drone technology that blasts clouds in an attempt to tackle a heatwave in the city regularly surpassing 122 degrees.
Dubai is being drenched by heavy downpours caused in part by drones that blast clouds with electrical charge to produce rain, according to a report by Daily Mail.
The drone technology is able to create precipitation by giving clouds an electric shock that drives them into clumping together and producing rain, the report adds.
The UAE’s National Center of Meteorology (NCM) recently released video footage, which shows monsoon-like downpours completely drenching the roads, and in some cases, appear to make it difficult for drivers to move through the torrential waters flowing through the streets.

I might have missed it being talked about here but Bezos gave Van Jones of “whitelash” fame $100,000,000 (not 100 grand, the zeros are correct) dollars to do with as he wishes:
https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/20/media/van-jones-bezos-100-million/index.html
His money and all but what the fuck?
“The award aims to honor those who have “demonstrated courage” and tried to be a unifier in a divisive world, Bezos added.”
Time to up my courageous unifying game.
Van Jones is a divisive twat and all around sack of shit.
What goes wrong in someone’s head once they make $1 billion? Gates, Soros, Bezos… I *know* they can’t be stupid since they made all that money in the first place. Why do they lose their fucking minds once they’ve made all the money?
Maybe adrenachrome damages the frontal lobe and the associated higher order thinking.
Buying off the left? Belief that they can create utopia? Belief that the Democrats will bring a “benevolent” tyranny like China that will keep Bad Orange Man out of power?
They are just paying the Danegeld.
^Probably this plus buying goodwill from CNN and the media in general. Maybe Stelter can get the award next year if he says the right things.
If not, he can always fall back on his second career choice of being an actual potato.

Just because Bezos can do logistics and can build a business empire doesn’t mean he’s good at any, let alone every thing else.

The United States government thanks Mr. Bezos for the unexpected $50-million tax donation.
It could be worse. He could have given it to Kendi or Tennessee Coates.

Perhaps we have advanced as a society since those pandemic plans of 2019? If so, it’s towards a more authoritarian, controlling future. As part of its 100th anniversary celebrations this year, the Chinese Communist Party might count the successful export of disease management.
See this what pisses me off. He just assumed that society would never change in a way he doesn’t like and no one would ever pick up bad ideas from foreigners.
Also I get the feeling from a lot of anti-lockdowners that they assumed that the Deep State, Big Business, Big Tech and the globalists were on their side and have trouble realizing that this is not the case.
What I mean is that this is why things are so shit is because the “liberals” foolishly assumed that they had won the March of History and they assumed that the TOP MEN were on their side.
Also I get the feeling from a lot of anti-lockdowners that they assumed that the Deep State, Big Business, Big Tech and the globalists were on their side and have trouble realizing that this is not the case.
Who could possibly assume that when practically everyone believed that social distancing was the right thing to do–at least to some extent–and every public voice was pushing for it in March-April 2020?
We’re all suppose to go up to Northern Michigan next week for a family trip and my sister in law just sent us all a group text asking us to not eat indoors with our kids at any of the restaurants because the Delta cases are increasing and the kiddos aren’t vaccinated.
I didn’t respond to the group text but I texted my wife and was like……fuck that shit, we’re eating indoors whether our daughter is with us or not.
Tell her to fuck off.
I’m going to let my wife do that if she wants, but I told her that we can’t let her sister dictate our vacation plans. If she’s that scared her, her husband, and son can stay home.
Oh and also, last year when we planned this trip, she wanted us to quarantine ourselves for two weeks and my wife and I were like….we can’t do that because that would mean that we couldn’t send our daughter to daycare or see my family. She decided to sit the trip out.
I have a feeling that’s going to happen again.
They can pull that shit if they want, I’m doing what I want like I did last time.
?
Of course they’re freaking over the Delta variant, because it’s something to freak over. It’s weaker than the original, but they don’t mention that much or that anyone vaccinated or having herd immunity will probably not be at risk of that one either.
The common cold and flu has mutated countless, probably thousands of times, and yet no one bothered naming any of the mutated ones. Now virology has turned into the fucking weather channel. Nothing but hyperbole, all of the time.
I’m over this COIVD theatre shit. If you’re scared that’s fine but don’t expect me to limit my activities or give up my freedoms based on your fears.
We’re sick of it, but the self proclaimed ‘elite’ class are just getting warmed up.
Nah, they’ve always been over it too. In private. See every example of unrepentant hypocrisy for the last year and a half. Rules don’t apply to them.
This whole thing has been a long snow day for them. They get to work in their bathrobe, fuck around with home things when not on Zoom, get food delivered, and so on. They haven’t been exposed to any
‘vid, they haven’t lost any money, they all got to where a fashion accessory that marks their class as superior.
They fucking love this whole thing. The Delta variant is like watching Home Alone to them.
Sounds like you need a different SIL.
LOL, that would mean a divorce. My wife is a non confrontational person and so her sisters were used to getting their way until we met and I was like…you need to say no to them sometimes and tell them how you really feel.
No divorce….just roll her up in a rug and replace her with some chick that looks similar. Chances are her husband will pretend not to notice and slip you a Benjamin when no one is looking.
Gah! Just one more double post and I’ll… I’ll…

“…rebuild a new economy.”
I wonder what that could mean.
I’ll just say it right here and now. And I doubt anyone here will be thinking I’ll be proved wrong. But they will spend all of that money and not a single building, road, bridge, or anything else regarding infrastructure will get one. Not.one.damn.thing. And they’ll just shrug and try to figure out if there’s anything left to spend.
A lot of large, nice houses in gated communities will be built I’d bet. The graft will be the graft to end all graft.
Sure, that. But no actual real work will happen.
Your sanctimonious horseshit is a hoax and people like you have made it political.
Yeah, this sounds like a hoax to me, as well. I wouldn’t be surprised if it turned out she was a podiatrist or something. Since May there have been a total of 5 COVID deaths (https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/273a04a06f93408c926334615d88d6c2). Either she’s getting every damned case plus or something doesn’t add up.
Congratulations. You just did more legwork than every reporter breathlessly regurgitating this story.
The reporters want to believe the lie. It fits all their values and prejudices (the importance of vaccines and the notion that it is those evil, redneck Republicans who are the problem). And I suppose any lingering suspicions could be rationalized away as if it’s a lie, it’s a noble lie. The problem, of course, is that it’s precisely things like this that cause the public to not “trust the science”. It took me all of five minutes to figure out something is wrong. I can’t be the only one. And a science that lies to you “for a good cause” is a science presented to you by, well, liars.
So my numbers above on the number of COVID deaths she could have seen personally are inflated. If every single one of those deaths was in her hospital (and they weren’t), she would have seen 3, max. Probably one a month.
He seems nice.

Conservatives are engaging in these fantasies of political control over education because they feel besieged by an increasingly dominant secular culture.
He was fine with this until he realized that this secular culture is going against him.
It is as if activists set out to validate the “slippery slope” argument, demonstrating that the battle over Confederate monuments is not about slavery or the Civil War, but is part of a general purge of American history.
I was saying that years ago you moron. If you read what the SJWs were actually saying you would have known that…
The fact that public schools are a state-run monopoly is precisely why they pose free-speech dilemmas that require a delicate balancing act to ensure that schools are, as far as possible, politically neutral and focused only on the objective requirements of education
Who pray tell will be the educrats who will do this? And even if Public schools are eliminated that doesn’t guarantee that Home schooling or private schooling won’t teach bad ideas.
“Instead of competing by creating new art and culture, both the left and right are simply trying to wipe each other out”
Complete bullshit. How is that supposed to happen when you have one side trying to drag us back into the dark ages and the other side being demonized because they’re desperately trying to stop that?
There is just no stopping the increasing degree of the left’s gaslighting of everyone.
He expects a bunch of judges and bureaucrats to save us from the illiberal left. The fact this will require the election of politicians who will appoint those people is something he glosses over…
“…they’re desperately trying to stop that…”
Assumes facts not in evidence.
The left is certainly trying to wipe the right out.
The right isn’t there yet. Yet.
And when they are, it sure ain’t gonna be pretty.
Glancing over his commentary, it seems like he draws no distinctions between government actors (teachers) and those effected by government actors. “Banning CRT” is not forbidding anyone from studying whatever they want. It’s saying the government actors cannot make the doctrines the underlying premise of the lectures to a captive audience of students. Similarly, the cameras in classes isn’t surveillance of the public by the government, but surveillance of the government’s agents by the public. Restricting the ability of state actors isn’t a violation of the public’s rights, it’s the very essence of it.
fantasies of political control over education
If government education is not under political control, then what control is it under?
That’s a better annunciation of the point I was trying to make. Any government function is, by definition, under political control. The question is whether those politics are those of a democratic republic or a “meritocratic” mandarinate.
Paraphrasing something I saw elsewhere, “the entire point of the First Amendment is to protect US from THEM, not the other way around”
It’s under the control of democracy, you dummy
Indeed, and so it follows:
Democracy is about holding elections, elections are about getting the right people in charge, the right people always make the right choices, the right choices aren’t political, if it’s not political it’s not debatable, if you debate it anyway you’re a reactionary, reactionaries are dangerous, dangerous people should be marginalized, marginalizing them is just safeguarding democracy.
A perfect example of the flaws of modern classical liberals and cosmotarians is their attitude toward the judiciary. They do realize that we need judges will ruke in our favor, right? Who pray tell are these judges? Who will appoint them and where will they gain their legal theories?
Also it is really a good idea to create a society were literally every single thing requires a SCOTUS ruling?
Not to mention their attitude towards institutions. They do realize that institutions are filled with people right? And institutions are only as good as the people running them are. And ensuring “good people” are running them requires actively making sure that this is happening. How is that to be done?
It’s the Chinese century. The worship of Legalism is rampant.

“Hospitalist” . I’ve seen those.
Guy (or gal) in white coat comes to your hospital bedside and says “Hi, how’s it goin’?” You say, “Fine. Except for this AFIB thing going on.” He/she says “Good, if you need anything just speak up.”
You two months later (looking at your hospital bill) “What the fuck is a “hospitalist” and why does it want $500?”
Brooksed that one.
See comment 53.
Student loans haven’t been forgiven just yet, ya know.
“a hospitalist at Grandview Medical Center”
What exactly is a hospitalist? Is it a doctor, or someone who builds hospitals?
Hospitalist. I wasn’t familiar with the term either, and I have a kid who has worked in ERs around eastern Iowa for about fifteen years.
There are also intensivists, a subspecies of hospitalist whose native environment is the intensive care unit. Most intensivists are pulmonologists, as ICUs are where ventilators are used.
Huh. I guessed internist, and it looks like that’s its meaning, at least sometimes. I was surprised to find out that it didn’t always mean “some kind of doctor.”
The stuff I learn here . . .
An internist is a flavor of primary physician (short for “internal medicine”). Its a specialty you see in hospitalists.

The ADA, which is where the medical exemption for mandatory vaccines comes from, applies to students as well as employees.
Yeah, it shouldn’t be required for anyone but she has a damn good reason to not get it and the risk from any one individual is very small.
Out of their fucking minds, they are.
Kind of puts the lie to “medical exemptions “ now doesn’t it?
I stopped at “ I’m admitting young healthy people to the hospital”.
No doctor other than an obgyn admits young healthy people to a hospital.
Didn’t you know there’s a pandemic RAGING all around us?

Analysis level: Wet streets cause rain
The major tech companies have been champing at the bit to do this for a while. They’re not so much being pushed by the government to do it, as getting the government to cover for them.
Meh. If Trump did that, they’d be cranking out articles 24/7 calling him a dictator. They’d probably even bring Shikha back. And almost every one of them will vote Democrat in the next election.
Shouldn’t we just be counting all these CASES as vaxinations? They have the same effect.
In fact the vax Nazis should be mocking the Deplorables who get the coof – “Neeener, Neeeener. You just got vaxinated anyway you stoopid Neanderthal.”
It’s a much broader immunity. It’s a super vax.
The goal is obedience, not immunity.

Regarding the Newsom recall. All those candidates, but who will Cali voters choose?
Just a reminder, here’s who votes in Cali. Cali Voters
The thing about the recall that really scares Team Newscum and the rest of Team D is that it is a two question ballot. The first is should he be recalled. If fifty percent plus one vote yes he is out. Then question two is who should replace him. So that candidate doesn’t need fifty percent or more of the vote, they may not even need thirty percent of the vote. They just need more than the other candidates and there isn’t one we’ll known Dem running. Which is why they are trying to toss Elder on a technicality. They know he has enough name recognition to win if that first question gets 50+1.
And also his idiot staff forgot to get a “D” put next to his name on the ballot so all those ultra low info voters won’t know that.
Going over there, I wanted on this piece. It’s actually useful as an illustration of my problem with the notion of “thick libertarianism”. Essentially, it’s arguing that libertarians (“those who want to be left alone”) are caught between Democratic totalitarians and a Republican Trump cult-of-personality. Ignoring the legitimacy or not of the latter characterization beyond anyone daring to disagree with the left’s hatred of Trump, it’s a pretty stunning admission. One would think that, if you’re a libertarian, if your central political value is individual liberty, a “cultist” might be distasteful or even embarrassing, but a totalitarian would be anathema to every political principle you hold dear. But, if you allow other values (and those other values always seem to run one way – e.g. Gillespie’s “cosmopolitanism is central to libertarianism”) to become part of an overall branding of libertarianism, that choice becomes murkier. Sure, individual liberty might start out as the pre-eminent value. But, even then, it’s only the first of multiple. And, eventually, it’s one that can be safely overridden.
“wanted” should read “wandered”.
It’s a false dichotomy anyway. The right has its lickspittle wannabe dictators, like McConnell and DeWine, and the left definitely has its personality cults, like that around Obama (“scandal-free”!). Failing to understand the dynamics of power after this many years is willful naivete, which is a path straight to cynicism.
And the author of the piece is Tuccille, often considered one of the less bad writers there.
There’s been a number of cases like that recently. Williamson at NR and David Burge (iowahawkblog on Twitter) come to mind as well. It’s not that they’re always wrong or even that they’re fully captured by the establishment, it’s just that they seem willfully oblivious to the dynamics at play. There’s a force that seems to be moving every single political party, government, private institution, corporate board, and cultural trend, but apparently it’s so pervasive that like a fish in water few can stand to observe it directly.
Malice seems to have a pretty good handle on it.
“a “cultist” might be distasteful or even embarrassing, but a totalitarian would be anathema to every political principle you hold dear.”
This, while true to a certain extent, completely fails to understand why there is a “cult” around Trump. Again, wet streets cause rain. Also, it completely misses how the left is acting in a cult-like fashion with its totallitarian love of CRT. The cosmotards simply act as if big gov’t is the preferred choice of everyone and their libertarianism only seeks to deal with the US acting at that level.
I fully believe the cunt known as Dr Cobia does exactly what she does and is a real story. As someone said above, there are treatments for this shit but the majority of doctors in big hospitals won’t use them. I personally know of a case where the infected elderly, non vaxed patient showed up to the hospital with O2 @ 70%, they tested her, said she had covid then sent her home until she later had to go back to the hospital where she died. No treatment, no nothing. They watched her die. The vaccines would be pulled if they treated people so they won’t treat people. They push nothing but the vaccines. There is a reason for that. (deletes rest of comment)
but the majority of doctors in big hospitals won’t use them
I actually don’t know this and only assume it, but I do know Hyperbole has a really shiny head.
There are plenty of stories of docs refusing to use boring treatments that work. They are complicit in murder, too.
And yes, Hyp has a shiny melon.
There is a reason for that.
You can’t be held liable for the consequences of doing what the powerful approve of?
Well, so it looks like definitive treatment for my ulcers will involve surgery. Date TBD. I will be so fucking happy to get rid of these fuckers.
I’m assuming H. pylori infection has been ruled out?
If so, I’m very sorry, Moje.
Yes, definitively.
Meh, I’m at the point inlife where a hospital stay is a vacation, except for that not being allowed to sleep at night thing.
I’m HAPPY to do that to get rid of these.
Good luck, girlie.
I’m looking at Disc replacement surgery in my lower back, I feel ya Mo, just get it over with!
…and best of luck to yu, too.
TY
Yikes!
The only saving grace is that it isn’t as nearly awful as it was 20 years ago.
Good luck, brother.
I had my neck fused in ’05, and it worked out well, I’m just glad it’s a known issue, as you said treatment is way better now, and my insurance rocks for once.
Cheers Tundra!
I’m not a fan of the Medical Industrial Complex, but the surgery advances are stunning. Back in the late 70’s my Dad had back surgery and spent two weeks in traction. My Uncle had virtually the same surgery last year and went home the day after the procedure.
Cheers, Yusef!
This, most of my life back surgery was to be avoided at all cost, only undertaken as a last resort, but in the last five years, four of my acquaintances have gone under the knife at not one has a single complaint. One of them is a dack/boat lift builder and just a few months after his surgery he was back humping I-beams and jack hammering pipe.
Best of luck.
Sorry, Mojo. That sucks to be the final solution. Since you said ulcers, I hope it’s not going to be a big slice.
I think they’re all in a relative cluster, but I could be misremembering what he told me.
The good news is, I’m an inch taller than I thought I was, my BP was 128/80, and my EKG was damn near perfect.
Actually, the good news is I can get rid of them.
Those are great stats to have Mo, you’ll be fine,
Godspeed
Actually, the good news is I can get rid of them.
Amen. Good luck.
Hope it works out Moj.
Yipes. Best of luck.
Ugh. Sorry Moj. Hope they take good care of you!
Thanks all. It’s a good, happy thing and I’m looking forward to it. I’ve been dealing with these ulcers for 2 years and I’m just so done.
I hope you are feeling better soon.
Humpday Zoom?
Figures you would show up on humpday for a zoom. I got questions man! I was worried about you last Sat after you checked into the second to last checkpoint. There were hours gone …………………and then I went to bed because, I am that kind of friend. I want to hear the story! If one of the real Zoom account holders sets one up I would love to hear how it went.
Must have been an issue with the tracker or the reporting, because I stepped into the second to last aid station, asked to have a water bottle filled and then left. That happened to be the aid station I spent the least time in. I would have spent even less time in the final aid station, but my pacer wanted to get a bite to eat.
I had planned on having my final quad espresso at the third to last aid station, but I was feeling so good I decided to put it in my pack “for later.” Then I slowly got so tired that I wasn’t thinking right and even though I knew I had it I couldn’t understand just how much it would have helped at the time. I walked a ton in the last ten miles.
Whee!
You are a monster. Finishing that thing is not a feat to be shrugged at and I am truly impressed. I was told I had to work then that changed late in the week so I should have at least been in Telluride when you chugged through but I suck.

So I got into a War with my Boss today and quit, as in Fuck you I’m out, then the big Boss followed me to my van and asked to talk. I said yes but I’m smoking a cig, I need to calm down. He proceeded to listen to me and actually agree with my points.90 minutes later, I met with my problem boss and HR as a referee, and we got things clarified. They worked their asses off to keep me in the company, so I’m still here, but with a bit more respect.
“The Trump campaign delivered a blueprint for losing candidates to undermine support for the winner or even steal the election,” Eggers, Garro, and Grimmer added. “It seems unlikely that he will be the last to try these tactics.”
