It’s Wednesday, February 24th, 2021…but before we begin, Balls forwarded the following which tells you why Pratt & Whitney has gone to general quarters and called…

…all hands on deck.  Perhaps if they were to bring the Cuomo crime family in as their partner…

…all Pratt & Whitney’s problems would just…go away?!?  If not the problems, certainly the adverse publicity.

Now, here’s The Gouge!

First up, a little counter-intuitive COVID primer courtesy of Tom Bakke:

● IM (“Inquiring Mind”): “If I get vaccinated can I stop wearing a mask(s)?”
Government: “NO.”

● IM: “If I get vaccinated will the restaurants, bars, schools, fitness clubs, hair salons, etc. reopen and will people be able to get back to work like normal?
Government: “NO.”

● IM: “If I get vaccinated will I be resistant to Covid?”
Government: “Maybe. We don’t know exactly, but probably not.”

● IM: “If I get vaccinated, at least I won’t be contagious to others – right?”
Government: “NO, the vaccine doesn’t stop transmission.”

● IM: “If I get vaccinated, how long will the vaccine last?”
Government: “No one knows. All Covid “vaccines” are still in the experimental stage.”

● IM: “If I get vaccinated, can I stop social distancing?”
Government: “NO.”

● IM: “If my parents, grandparents and myself all get vaccinated can we hug each other again?”
Government: “NO.”

● IM: “So what’s the benefit of getting vaccinated?”
Government: “Hoping that the virus won’t kill you.”

● IM: “Are you sure the vaccine won’t injure or kill me?”
Government: “NO.”

● IM: “If statistically the virus won’t kill me (99.7% survival rate), why should I get vaccinated?”
Government: “To protect others.”

● IM: “So if I get vaccinated, I can protect 100% of people I come in contact with?”
Government: “NO.”

● IM: “If I experience a severe adverse reaction, long term effects (still unknown) or die from the vaccine will I (or my family) be compensated from the vaccine manufacture or the Government?”
Government: “NO, the government and vaccine manufactures have 100% zero liability regarding this experimental drug.”

So, do we have this right?  The Wuhan virus “vaccine”: Does not provide immunity…does not eliminate the virus…does not prevent death…does not guarantee you won’t get it…does not stop you from passing it on to others…does not eliminate the need for travel bans…does not eliminate the need for business closures…does not eliminate the need for lockdowns…does not eliminate the need for masking?!?

Yeah, pretty much, as Dr. Faux Chi himself indicated with his latest pronouncement from the mount when he warned the vaccinated should neither dine indoors nor frequent theaters.  At least, not yet; not until he…an 80-year-old career government bureaucrat…tells us it’s safe.

Here’s the juice…for the umpteenth time: This ISN’T about controlling a virus, it’s about controlling us!!!

In a related item, despite continuing to credit the accuracy of a COVID death count inquiring minds KNOW to be grossly inflated, the Morning Jolt‘s Jim Geraghty more correctly suggests…

The ‘Human Error’ Theory on COVID Origin Still Very Much Alive

“…I’m so old, I can remember when once-respectable publications such as The New Republic insisted this was all a crazy conspiracy theory, and asserting as fact that the virus started at the Huanan Seafood Market. Now we’ve got the former Edward R. Murrow Press Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations treating the lab-accident theory seriously on a Sunday show, and a Democratic administration’s national-security adviser refusing to rule the possibility out.“

Next, more headlines inquiring minds will likely find of interest:

(1). Despite Townhall.com‘s Bronson Stocking’s belief blue collar voters trending Republican benefits the GOP while adversely impacting the Dims, we say, “Whoa, just…

As the Georgia run-offs just demonstrated, blue collar voters are about as dependable as wind turbines in Texas: they’re only there when you don’t need them…like voting for The Donald in the Republican primary.

(2). Since we’re on the subject of Texas wind turbines, courtesy of Speed, Bill King relates that the failure of the Texas power grid is a bit more complicated than Green v. carbon.

Longtime contributor Jeff Foutch offered these thoughts regarding Mr. King’s commentary:

“He is accurate, but he didn’t expand on the fact we’ve retired on-demand sources of power, gas and coal and replaced them with intermittent sources of power: wind and solar. This is due to the unintended consequence of renewable subsidies, which allow the wind and solar providers to dramatically undercut the gas and coal providers in pricing. The wind providers get $23/MWH in subsidies so they can bid power to the grid at zero cost and still make money. They are also not held accountable if they fail to deliver. Gas and coal have to bid higher to cover costs and have to pay replacement costs if they fail to deliver. There is not always an option payment for gas and coal to have spinning reserve ready to back up wind and solar energy. Wind and solar are a must-take power sources, so the gas and coal units have to shut down to allow for wind and solar. So when the wind and solar collapse, as they did Sunday, and you need the gas and coal, you have to cold start the plants, which is really hard in sub-freezing weather. Gas did yeoman’s work ramping up, but it was too little too late. We have retired over 3,000 MW of dependable power in the last 10 years, and reached a saturation point on the grid. Name plate capacity of wind and solar is 32,000 MW , but on a good day we get 30% of that; during the freeze we got about 6%. I would call that a failed business model, but we paid for all of it to be built; such a waste.”

(3). In a related shocker, the family of an 11-year-old boy who died during the Texas freeze has filed a $100M lawsuit against the power companies, with their attorney stating “This is a young man who died for no reason other than corporate decisions“.  Other than his folks, who up until two years ago resided in Honduras, allowed him to play outside in sub-zero temperatures, undoubtedly in clothing wholly-unsuited to the prevailing weather. 

(4). As recorded at The Babylon Bee, the MSM immediately stopped covering Ted Cruz’s trip to Cancun after he donned a Sonny Cuomo mask.

(5). Best of the Web’s Jim Freeman details yet another Cuomo cover-up, as New York’s governor AND lord-high COVID executioner evidently did the same thing to the disabled he did to the elderly.

(6). Again from The Babylon Bee, Texicans need never have feared the cold, as John Kerry had their back, personally warming the Lone Star State by flying over it repeatedly in his private jet.

(7). After locking down her state in March of 2020, purportedly because of the scamdemic, New Mexico governor Michelle Grisham had the chutzpah to make a private call to her favorite jewelry store.  Now, she’s been caught using taxpayer money to buy groceries, tequila and whiskey.

Which brings us to The Lighter Side:

Then there’s this from Speed…

…along with three from Balls Cotton…

…and four more from Mark Foster:

Finally, we’ll be taking some personal time through next Tuesday, and though we might get an edition out Monday, March 1st, it’s likely we’ll be radio silent through Friday the 5th.  So, ’til then…
