Seems that the new “Infrastructure Bill” has lots of (surprise!) non infrastructure funding in it….Like the one that will start a pilot program for tracking your vehicle so that a per mile fee can be assessed.

Some see this as a method of taxing private transportation out of existence, and this is possible….But unlikely.

I believe it is more about tracking you. One can leave one’s personal tracker (that cell phone in your pocket or purse) at home (gee, officer, I forgot it at home) but if the powers that be can track your car, then you have no way to not be tracked…Public transportation already has (in most instances) facial recognition at the terminals, and, while there are license plate readers on most major highways, these can be bypassed with different routes.

Your car, if it is less than 10 years old, already tracks you, but that can be bypassed with the pull of a fuse to shut down the infotainment system that controls the GPS…..but maybe not so much if there is a mandated-by -the-Federal-government tracker on your car….

So you can be private, if you work at it….right now. But not if the government funds research to allow your car to be tracked.

Have ya noticed?

The story is everywhere, even when the statistics don’t match the message….and all the same, even to the language they use.

“Covid Cases Climbing!!!” ….200 percent increase in cases! (where it went from, say 12 to 25)

“Hospitals Overwhelmed again” When the number of cases has, of course, doubled from 15 to 30 (200 percent of last week!), and total cases are well below the levels of last year, and Intensive care cases are at about 10% of peak…..and ventilator use is less than 5 % of peak….I just can’t see how that meets the definition of “Overwhelmed”…..

“Unvaccinated people causing spread of Delta variant”….yet over 30% of the new cases are already-vaccinated people…..and they are the ones who can have it and asymptomatically spread the Covid. rather than most of the unvaccinated….who are at least mildly symptomatic….making the statement be partially a lie.

I am trying to figure out why whoever it is that wants everyone “Vaccinated” wants it so badly? Badly enough that someone is organizing the message to “get vaccinated” even to using the same wording in multiple locations and on multiple news media outlets….Chicago, New York, LA, Atlanta…different outlets yet the exact same wording of the message….and, ultimately, essentially untrue reporting….no “:surge” no “Overwhelmed Hospitals”, etc.

Someone is pushing the message, and for a reason….and forcing this coverage must cost…..so why?

HERE.

Swallow your drink first.

I stole it it from The Feral Irishman

Seems that Texas Lawmen are JAILING border crossers (illegal aliens…. or in Liberal-speak, Undocumented Migrants)

Putting them in jail for trespassing

A lot better deal than just letting them go somewhere in the interior of the US without even a health check.

Cool!

Gov Abbott of Texas signed an executive order preventing “Ground Transportation” of potentially infected migrants (should be illegals) into communities within the state.

I am not sure if he can really enforce it against the Feds, but it is a nice try.

Remember last year, when part of the excuse for forcing everyone to wear a mask was that the Coronavirus-19 was terribly contagious and dangerous and was even more contagious than the common cold? More than the flu?

Now we are told that this new strain, the Delta strain is even more contagious than the Common cold or even the flu….and also that it might make people even sicker…..

Of course, they are also claiming in the article that this is causing a rapid increase in cases and deaths…but the numbers tell a different story…..our case count is still lower than it has been in a year, and deaths are lower than they have been since the start of the outbreak.

So are the healthcare spokespersons lying, or the media lying….or both. Further, since the original coronavirus was supposed to be incredibly contagious, and now we have the NEW! Improved! Even MORE Contagious! version …were they lying then, or are they lying now? Or is it just a fearmongering tactic since they can’t seem to get the other half of the country (myself included) to take the covid vaccination treatment.??

You can expect folks to believe you until they find out that the First time you cried WOLF! you lied…Seems to me that there was lesson like that in some stories the parents told me when I was a ci…..and the Media and the CDC never learned.

I’m still waiting for my apology Fauci and the  the CDC for their original prediction of 4.6 Million dead…based on really BAD data and a really bad model….and they haven’t apologized for that nor their other bad predictions. Instead we get NEW! Improved! Bad Predictions. of the same old repeat of the same old fear lines.

If you aren’t strong enough to deal with the stress of competition, especially the level of competition found in the Olympics, then you should not go to the Olympics as a competitor. Let someone else go in your stead.

Stress in a competition is found everywhere that people test themselves against others. Shooting matches, wrestling, races, gymnastics, Martial Arts, etc. Stress is a PART of the competition. Olympic levels of competition mean Olympic levels of stress… If you are so psychologically and emotionally fragile that you are unable to compete, then you are not an Olympic level competitor. Stress is, in other words, part of the game.

(More of an observation, really)

The Customs and Border Patrol folks have been rounding up illegal border crossers (that is undocumented migrants in Liberal-Speak) at the southern border….and shipping them via bus and airplane to cities all throughout the US….these people get no quarantine and no Covid test of any kind before boarding their transportation into the interior of the US….and, of course, no “vaccine” either.

Has anyone tracked the “outbreak” of new Covid cases vs the areas where these untested illegal aliens are being placed?

I tried and could not easily find data to correlate the two.

I wonder…..

ETA: And yes, it is happening. 

How many people did they infect? Is this where the rise in cases are coming from? Part of the answer?

Ever notice that Pro Covid Vaccine Treatment advocates  don’t really come up with logical reasons to take vaccines when trying to convince others to get the shot?

They don’t try to convince people to get the shot with logic….nor do they use facts to refute the (valid) arguments against getting the shot…instead they deride and insult.

One might think they have no real argument…at least that has always been my observation when people can’t do anything but insult and ridicule.  Seldom, if ever, do they have a cogent argument based on fact when that is their tactic.

But that is generally a liberal tactic when faced with facts they don’t like, innit?
