They Ignore Science When Convenient

I took a brief hiatus from posting to this blog to enjoy Thanksgiving. And that means, yes, all you would-be government tools and snitches, I had my son, his wife, two grandchildren and my brother over to celebrate along with me and my wife. So report me.

My wife, as usual, outdid herself in cooking and decorating the house.

This activity occurred against the backdrop that my mother, who has been in a nursing home for more than a year, has tested positive for COVID-19.

So, to recap, the person isolated from her family and the public in general, has a positive test result.

My mother is in a virtual bubble, with only a couple of weekly visits last month with two family members, conducted in the lobby of the facility, all visitors being masked and socially distant. That’s been it for approximately the past eight months in terms of live in-person visits.

There have been a few video calls, but it’s been a long time since we could go in and visit her twice daily, as my brother and I had done until the virus crackdown.

Those two-person lobby visits are by the boards, too, with the latest rise in virus cases.

The staffer who supervised our window visit the past Saturday, to celebrate my mother’s 84th birthday, remarked she was amazed how widespread the virus infections had become at the facility.

Because I am blessed (or cursed) with the willingness to speak my mind, no doubt inherited from my father, I pointed out that I wasn’t at all surprised. In the times we had been allowed inside the facility, it was evident that the staff’s familiarity with universal hygiene precautions had been largely no more than a passing acquaintance.

On the occasion when we were given the word that visitors were being banned – laughingly one staff member suggested maybe just for two weeks – I offered to bet the two giving us our marching orders $100 and I’d give 10-1 odds, that it would last much longer than two weeks, or even two months.

I even offered to let them go up and down the halls and get others involved in the wager and was willing to bet them that a staffer was more likely than a visitor to bring COVID-19 into the building based on pure numbers.

I’d have won a lot of money, not because I am Nostradamus, but because I know that once you give unfettered control to the powers that be to ban traditional freedoms, they become drunk with the power and use it to the extreme.

Look at what’s going on with schools, work, various holidays, religious services, sporting events, shopping, travel, etc., etc., etc. All are being locked down to one degree or another.

Protests by the left-wing idiots cannot be banned, however, because it would interfere with their constitutional rights.

Meanwhile, the Trump efforts to obtain relief in the courts for apparently fraudulent election results have been met with almost universal stone-walling.

Pennsylvania courts have been notably obstinate. I love that they maintain they cannot override the will of the people as evidenced by ballots. But if the issue is the legitimacy of those ballots, how then can a fraudulent decision be corrected short of taking in the streets with guns blazing?

The legal concept of the fruit of the poisonous tree holds that illegally obtained evidence is tainted and cannot be used in a case. Why wouldn’t a tainted vote be similarly invalid?

Courts have yet to make clear why they believe that any vote, fraudulent or otherwise, is equally sacred. Would it be overly cynical to look at the party affiliations of the judges?

Similarly mute in the face of hard evidence are all the leftists who scream science, science, science to insist that the world as we know it should be closed down, with fossil fuels and beef banned while all ride to work on bicycles eating tofu.

Oh, I forgot. No one will need to work. Just stay home and take the universal basic income, but still eat your tofu.

Climate change, COVID-19, they are areas where the radicals find some scientists who support their view, then act as a virtual mob to shut down and shame any SCIENTISTS who might disagree.

Scientists, of course, once thought the sun revolved around the Earth, that the Earth was flat, the Universe was static, there were canals on Mars and computers could never compete with humans in a game as complex as chess.

Mathematics and probability are every bit the realm of proof not emotions, just as sciences are supposed to be, and an increasing number of experts in mathematics, having taken a look at the presidential election results, see manipulation and collusion in key states.

Dr. Navid Keshavarz-Nia is one of these experts who is crying foul play on the election results. He’s a genius, certified as such in a New York Times story a few months back.

But now Keshavarz-Nia is an expert witness for Sidney Powell in her attempts to expose election fraud.

This means that Keshavarz-Nia is supporting the Orange Hair Bad Guy’s cause for re-election, and the left lunatics (and their lapdog media outlets) will endeavor to discredit him.

Likely they will succeed, or courts simply will ignore Keshavarz-Nia’s analysis under the blanket excuse of honoring the wishes of the electorate, whether that electorate was deceased, voted multiple times, or simply was electronically manipulated to produce the desired Harris-Biden victory.
