"Two Minnesota state lawmakers are calling for an audit of death certificates that were attributed to the coronavirus, saying COVID-19 deaths could have been inflated by 40%.
"State Rep. Mary Franson and state Sen. Scott Jensen released a video last week revealing that after reviewing thousands of death certificates in the state, 40% did not have COVID-19 as the underlying cause of death."

Not time yet to deal with sickness of the Kingston Daily Freeman
Whenever the Freeman editors allow themselves to speak through the voice of the Associated Press coverage of President Trump and the election they are behaving like willing hostages.
As events move forward they continue to betray their readers, showing no discernment whatsoever, and continue to pass on what is nothing less than sick, deceptive reporting from AP, the poisoned groundwater of Fake News.
The Freeman is not a salvageable operation, but we'll do our best to get their readers out of that car wreck.

"Why should we care what governors are doing to counter the CCP’s malign efforts? National security matters generally fall to the federal government. As the CCP utilizes the likes of Swalwell, Hunter Biden, and Wall Street financiers, however, it becomes clear that the regime’s malevolent efforts persist far outside the corridors of Washington, D.C."

"Just a few doses of an experimental drug can reverse age-related declines in memory and mental flexibility in mice, according to a new study by UC San Francisco scientists.

Binge watching material
If you're in need of some binge watching material, I'll tell you what we've been using to avoid ordinary television, particularly any news beyond an hour here and there.
We just finished the second season of Britannia, which was so long in coming that I could watch the first season again and be surprised by it. It's not for everyone, but it is wild. Set in the first century, with the Romans trying to conquer Britain and having a hell of a time trying to deal with various tribes and their mystery religions. Some hilarious characters, and the title song is Season of the Witch (highlight of the opening of each episode) performed by Donovan himself. Not sure when this version was recorded. Really sets the tone. We subscribed to Epix just to get this season.

Really sets the tone. We subscribed to Epix just to get this season.
Also on Epix is Pennyworth. Entire first season is available. Second season just starting with new episodes each Sunday. It's the back story on Batman's (Bruce Wayne's) loyal butler Alfred Pennyworth. This is Alfred as a young man, after his service with the SAS in WWII or some fictionally equivalent war. He's essentially the British version of a Navy SEAL, trained in all that jazz. It's a DC comic world with blatant anachronisms where the 60s, 50s, and 40s are all colliding with each other. One minute you think it's the 50s, then it's the late 40s, along those lines.
Finally there's The Crown on Netflix, which has gotten a bit dreary this time around, as you would expect given that it focuses a great deal on Charles and Diana. He's a Royal douchebag and she's a neurotic twit. And for whatever reason the writers spent some time dwelling on her bulimia. Got the sense that they hated both of them and wanted them to go away, which is pretty much how the audience must feel. But, still, if you've watched the first three seasons, you'll want to stay with it.
Oh, and then there is Gillian Anderson (Dana Scully from the X-Files) as Margaret Thatcher. Some good moments, but it's more an SNL impersonation than a portrayal. Maggie was quite a bit less brittle than Anderson plays her and much more feisty, and brilliant. But I like Gillian Anderson a lot and I'm happy to watch her do anything. She was also once a waitress in the East Village at well-known restaurant on St. Mark's Place called The Dojo.

San Francisco to rename Abraham Lincoln High School because 'black lives didn't matter to him'
"Stating that Lincoln "did not demonstrate that 'black lives mattered to him,'" the school district will be stripping the local high school of his name and legacy. While Lincoln undoubtedly is best known for freeing the slaves from bondage, San Francisco worries that Lincoln's approval of the Homestead Act and the Pacific Railway Act show that he didn't care about minorities."

"Among the findings, according to the report released today, somebody improperly deleted the 2020 election data, which is required by law to be maintained.

Electoral Fraud: The Antrim Michigan Forensics Report
Microsoft Word - Antrim Michigan Forensics Report 121320(9).docx (depernolaw.com)
"We conclude that the Dominion Voting System is intentionally and purposefully designed with inherent errors to create systemic fraud and influence election results. The system intentionally generates an enormously high number of ballot errors. The electronic ballots are then transferred for adjudication. The intentional errors lead to bulk adjudication of ballots with no oversight, no transparency, and no audit trail. This leads to voter or election fraud. Based on our study, we conclude that The Dominion Voting System should not be used in Michigan. We further conclude that the results of Antrim County should not have been certified."Time to focus on the reality of the 2020 vote

"Advocating against objectivity is journalism’s new cause. Indeed, objectivity in journalism is no longer an industry standard — it’s not even a goal for which to strive. In the new media landscape, objectivity is a “tool of oppression” and a barrier to contextual relativism for which journalists-as-moralists hold the keys."

No one wants his head to hurt
No one wants his head to hurt. So I'll be brief in mentioning that Nietzsche, the 19th century German philosopher who influenced Hitler (the ubermensch/superman business, for instance), did do some tidy work explaining why complacent Western bourgeois normality would be the death of us. That suggests a number of paradoxes, the first being that complacent normality is a lot better than mobs of ubermenschen running around murdering complacent bourgeois normies. The answer to this problem in America is the "militant normal" individual who does common sense and speaks up in defense of individual rights and freedom. The anti-couch potato.
Pandemic Penitents -- Lockdowns are more about faith than science
Pandemic Penitents | City Journal (city-journal.org)
"In 1349, as the Black Death ravaged Europe, a new pandemic-control strategy was adopted in cities across the continent. The protocol was precisely regulated by the experts. Three times a day, for a total of exactly eight hours, hundreds of men known as Flagellants would march in single file through town, wearing caps with a red cross and carrying scourges of knotted ropes studded with nails. 'Using these whips,' one witness reported, 'they beat and whipped their bare skin until their bodies were bruised and swollen and blood rained down, spattering the walls nearby.'"China's social media warfare database lists key Australians

Andrew Cuomo Is Projecting His Guilt On Staten Island
Andrew Cuomo Is Projecting His Guilt On Staten Island: America's deadliest governor is blaming Staten Island for increased COVID deaths. He should look in the mirror.
"In the early days of the China virus lockdowns, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo made a deadly decision to send COVID-positive patients into the state’s nursing homes. Ok. In the frantic first weeks of the crisis, little was known and many mistakes were made, fair enough. Cuomo could have simply said it was a mistake made during a crisis and moved on. Instead, he wrote a book congratulating himself for his leadership, and now this guy wants to lecture Staten Island."

Facebook censoring article about their Chinese-funded "fact checker"

the crime of criticizing the corrupt, China-funded fake fact-checker used by
Facebook to censor American media companies."
More Censorship by Kingston Daily Freeman
Not yet the moment for analyzing the depth and degree of what the Kingston Freeman editors are doing to prevent the raising of serious questions about their conduct and the conduct of the Associated Press during the contested presidential election, but here's another comment on one of those AP stories that has just been censored ("removed" without being posted). Comment was made on AP story titled, "Trump Tactics to Overturn Election Could Have Staying Power."
The censored comment:
"Plenty of information available that suggests Trump isn't going anywhere and will prevail in *this* contested election. Maybe people are confused. This is not about recounting individual votes as was the case in the 2000 Bush v. Gore election. This is about whether or not entire classes of illegal votes are tossed. That's the basic proposition that has been true since the first few days after the election. Ultimately, perhaps, the Supreme Court will make that call. Or something else will happen. If anyone tells you that Trump's claims are 'baseless' or 'without merit' you are being misled. Yogi put it best: 'It ain't over 'til it's over.'"
