So the evening “News” is telling us that “Hospitals are overwhelmed” ((again), even though they weren’t overwhelmed last time) by the new “Surge” in Coronavirus cases. 

Maybe this time they are telling us the truth. Last time, there were very few hospitals that were “overwhelmed”.

Much like the little boy that cried WOLF!, the media has lied time and time again, and I find it hard to give any credence to the warnings of doom this time.

The statistics are structured to frighten without giving a real, honest assessment. They tell us the total overall number of cases (since March, in most cases) and tell us the number of new cases without telling us how many of those new cases are symptomatic, how many are hospitalized….And they trumpet the number of deaths…but they make it difficult to find out any usable information….They don’t tell us what percentage of tests show a positive, for instance….

When people or organizations use statistics to frighten, rather than inform, I become suspicious. 

 So didn’t Paul Manafort get convicted of failing to register as a “Foreign Agent”? 

Why aren’t they going after Hunter Biden for the same thing? 

Just asking….for a friend

 The forecast for the winds was less than on-target..

Highest wind was 38 knots…more or less 44 miles per hour.

Most wind gusts were much less.

Power only flickered once, and that was for less than 30 seconds as the automatics isolated the short. 

All prepped up (not really) and nowhere to go….

ETA: If they can’t predict the weather 12 hours in advance, what makes them think they can predict Climate 50 years into the future? 

 So I had to have some warranty work done on the Truck.

The Dodge dealer gave me a brand new Jeep Renegade to drive. 

What a shitbox.

The transmission never stops shifting, the dash looks like it was laid out by a 4th grader, and the controls feel cheap.

The acceleration is mediocre at best, the engine sounds like a sewing machine eating gravel while tripping on meth, and the handling is almost as good as my Kubota tractor.  The Fiat 124 was a better car 50 years ago.

I cannot believe, as competitive as the small car market is that Jeep sells these things. For $22k, one can buy a LOT of small car from Toyota, Hyundai, Nissan, Kia, even Ford and Chevy and Subaru. None of them are luxury cars, but at least they are decently engineered. 

On the bright side, the outward vision from the Renegade was decent…and the turn signals worked. 

 50 MPH wind gusts forecast. 

I expect to lose power….for how long I dunno. 

Getting the laundry done early, and planning on losing both power and internet for a while. 

If need be, I can fire up the generator, but as it isn’t cold enough to need heat, I might not bother, 

No flying today though. 

 So the media is now floating the theory that the Biden Emails (see below posts) are “disinformation” from “Russia” via the Ukraine via Rudy Giuliani 

Odd how the Ukraine (which is where Hunter Biden was “employed” by Burisma for his father’s influence during the Obama Administration) has so much power, so many “Operatives” that can control so much influence over the American People and their choice for President, innit? 

Nice attempt to discredit. Nice deflection too. 

Are the emails legit? I dunno. They do fit the theory that has been floating around for a year or more, and it does seem odd that Burisma would hire Hunter Biden for his (nonexistent) “Expertise”…(not to mention the CHinese, but that is another story) ……I mean, they were paying his some serious coin to do……..??

 That someone hacked emails from Hunter Biden and “inserted” the “fake” emails in question into the file…

Then put them on a hard drive of a computer that was then taken to the repair shop and left for 90 days…all done months ago so that the data could be released right now. Linking the emails to Biden and making the release “clean”. 

Spin, spin, spin. and yet more spin. 

If we could hook a generator to this story we could power Manhattan. 

 It is reported that there is an email chain that links Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, Burisma, and other figures “arranging” for Joe to “meet” with officials that could influence (eliminate by threatening the dispersal of US aid) the corruption charges against Burisma.…

Supposedly gotten off a laptop brought in for repair…and left, never to be picked up.

Whose content was subsequently copied by the shop owner, who then also contacted the FBI…who confiscated the laptop.

Now, this all happened about the time of Trump’s corruption charges and subsequent investigation….

And yet the FBI withheld this evidence and remained silent.  Odd, that, innit?

Forget the millions of Taxpayer dollars spent investigating the bogus claims, TH FBI KNEW THAT THEY WERE BOGUS AND HID EVIDENCE AND REMAINED SILENT. 

Think about that. Again, proof that the FBI wants Trump gone. That the FBI conspired to get rid of him. 

 So, suddenly, YoutTube thinks that I care about the propaganda campaign that shows the terrible treatments of black people by cops simply because of the color of their skin.

The harassment that black men endure….oddly enough, all when they ahve video and oddly enough all in the past two months. 

Strange timing, innit?

Examples:

You can find many more if you look. Most in the past 2 or three months. 

Of course, this only happens to black people, never to whites nor hispanics, right?
