“…the U.S. government pumped $3.1 million into American health organization EcoHealth Alliance to back bat coronavirus research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).”1
“…almost $600,000 of that federal moneywas [SIC] partially used by the WIV to find and alter bat coronaviruses that could jump to humans and infect them.”1
“…documents revealed that experimental research on genetically engineered mice with human cell receptors was conducted at the Wuhan University Center for Animal Experiment, and not the WIV as previously thought.”1
I don’t know about you, but I’m not having warm and fuzzy feelings about my government right now. Looking ahead, I can easily see Fauci and Collins being, at least partially, responsible for this coronavirus pandemic.
Instead of Typhoid Mary we’ll be teaching Coronavirus Fauci
Winston Churchill, paraphrasing a Spanish philosopher George Santayana, wrote, “Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”
Believe me folks, after the childhood years, there is no accountability.
April 24, 1988 , then President Jimmy Carter responded to the Iranian hostage crisis with despondency. The US Embassy, Tehran, incident was caused by the Islamic uprising in 1979. Militant Islamic fanatics deposed the Shaw of Iran, seized the government and took control of the country. They captured the US Embassy and took it’s personnel captive to hold as hostages in an attempt to force militant Islamic demands on the US. Democrat President Jimmy Carter, whose previous political and military experience included farming peanuts in Georgia, handled the situation. He surrounded himself with expert political and military advisors who lead him to botch negotiations and a demonstrably flawed rescue attempt. Using helicopters to shuttle Delta force soldiers long distance across a desert that presented them with a grounding sandstorm that caused a helicopter to collide with a transport plane, killing one Iranian civilian and 8 US mission personnel. The mission failed before it engaged. Cyrus Vance, Secretary of State, resigned but no one was actually held accountable other than with a smeared reputation.1
In 2012, President Barack Obama, Secretary of State Hilary Clinton and staff watched on live video feed as militant Islamists, members of the Islamic militant group Ansar al-Sharia, sacked 2 of our US government facilities in Benghazi, Libya, resulting in the death of Ambassador Stevens, a US Foreign Service Officer and 2 CIA contractors. This distinguished audience did nothing to help even though there were assets in the region and the Ambassador and others had requested increased security for weeks before the attack. Nobody has taken responsibility for this, either figuratively on criminally.2
Now, in August of 2021, President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Anthony Blinkin, about 8 months after taking charge as President of the US, Biden, surrounded with chosen advisors, proceeded to implement the biggest military blunder in memorable history. Biden abandoned a secure and strategic AFB in Kabul, gave up billions of dollars of strategic weapons and material, exfiltrated over 100,000 foreign, unvetted, Afghan citizens while leaving behind uncounted US citizens and vetted foreign allies. Biden, in doing this, also caused the release of thousands of vicious militant Islamic prisoners that had been imprisoned for war crimes, smeared egg all over our face for all the world to laugh at and caused the death of 13 of our military personnel on a peace mission to evacuate threatened civillians. And yet, before the dust from the C-17 transports has settled, Mich McConnell, the United States Senate Republican Leader, predicts there will be no formal responsibility-taking, impeachment or criminal trial.
Oh yes, did I mention that these were all liberals?

All over every news outlet there is! Look it up yourself.
Jen Psaki and Nancy Pelosi are misandrists. If you don’t know, misandrists are the opposite of misogynists. The former hate men and the later hate women. Both are sexist bigots who are prejudiced based on gender.
Psaki said to a male reporter in a news conference, “I think I know more about this than you,” citing her status as a mother.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., previously said she knew more about childbearing than the pope.1
Both are ignorant of reality or conveniently using their gender in place of facts, reason and logic to win their point. All of the supreme court justices that upheld the pro abortion position (for Psaki and Pelosi’s side of the argument) were men. Until about 20 years ago the majority of obstetricians in the modern world were men.
To understand the depth of these positions, Nancy’s and Jens, one need only look to the east. Afghanistan’s Taliban are the penultimate of misogynist philosophy. Fourth century beliefs that put women at the bottom of any social ladder and Jen and Nancy mean to use that position to ruin this country.
Did you know that 10% of ones body weight is bacteria? Gallup News reported that the average (self reported) weight of adult Americans holds steady at 181 pounds.1 That works out to be 18.1 pounds of bacteria. And the US census reports that there are 209,128,094 adults over 18 in the US.2
That means that the US is harboring 3,785,218,501 pounds of bacteria on their body, discounting the kids.
Notice that most disinfectants boast that they kill 99.99% of germs?
Estimates in the range that 40,000 different species of bacteria are found in 30g of common soil is felt to be conservative (By an order of 25. Meaning there might be 1 million different species of bacteria present if one includes rare bacteria.)
It is estimated that there are 320,000 different viruses.4 But, until December of 2019, or there about, there were 319,999 viruses that we knew about.
That leaves 36-132, depending on the estimates you choose to accept, species of viruses, bacteria, fungi and other germs that Scope, Crest and disinfectants do not kill. One of which appears to be coronavirus.
But that’s not the end of the story, my aspiring microbiologists. That 30g of soil is not universally the same, is it? Take, for instance Ebola, a virus found in west Africa and not very many other places on earth. And Dengue virus is found in 100 countries around the world. But, not every country. Plague, yersinia pestis, is widely spread across the globe, but not everywhere.

If you want to travel outside the continental U.S., go into the bathroom and cut your wrists instead. My 14 y/o granddaughter wants to go to Mexico to meet her father. Yeah, that’s another story. But the bureaucratic hazing that one must go through is appalling!
You have, basically, 3 ways to apply for a passport.
Process number 1. The traditional way involves getting an appointment to go to the post office to review your application with a postal worker that was there working anyway (thank the wonderfully new COVID-19 restrictions). There, one has to show documents that prove that you are a U.S. citizen, that prove what your address is and other mundane things. That package of information is sent to the Department of State. All documents have to be original or certified copies. Leaving you wondering if you will ever see them again. And, leaving you without those documents if needed for other applications (such as applying for a driver’s license, registering for school…) until they return, if ever. The process is estimated to take about 3-6 months according to the State Department’s published estimates.
Process number 2. You could apply for an expatiated path. the process is exactly the same with the exception that if you request an expatiated application, you can expect the process to take about 3-6 months. According to published State department estimates.
Process number 3. You can physically hand-walk your passport application through the process. But, you have to abide by the State department’s directives. Your application must be hand-delivered to one of about 12 sites in the United States. Guess what? The nearest one to us was 13 hours away by ground. The application must be delivered 3 days before departure. Meaning you must commit to purchasing an airline ticket way before having your passport. The odds of getting to travel with that ticket are way outside Las Vegas odds. And you must have proof of the emergency that prompted the request.
I had an epiphany, again.
All one has to do is to go to the border of the US and Mexico. Cross over into Mexico. Believe me Mexico doesn’t care if you have a passport or not. Turn around and walk back across the border into the US. When the Border Patrol accosts you, present no passport, no ID and claim you want to apply for welfare and all other subsistence programs. Heck, you’ll probably make some money on the trip, in the end.
There, you’ve made it. Who needs all this bureaucratic crap.
