Cop Who Killed Ashli Babbitt Was Cleared of Criminal Wrongdoing Without Interview | RealClearInvestigations
...In fact, investigators cleared Byrd of wrongdoing in the shooting without actually interviewing him about the shooting or threatening him with punishment if he did not cooperate with their criminal investigation.
“He didn’t provide any statement to [criminal] investigators and they didn’t push him to make a statement,” Babbitt family attorney Terry Roberts said in an RCI interview. “It’s astonishing how skimpy his investigative file is."
Roberts, who has spoken with the D.C. MPD detective assigned to the case, said the kid-glove treatment of Byrd raises suspicions the investigation was a “whitewash.”...Read all!
Biden's claim that this is a pandemic of the unvaxxed took a big hit this weekend - American Thinker
...The club of vaccinated people getting COVID just keeps growing larger and less exclusive.
The point of all my snark is that, even as many Australians, Europeans, and Democrat jurisdictions in America do their darnedest to turn people who have not been vaccinated into pariahs, this is not a pandemic of the unvaccinated. In Europe, where numbers are probably a little bit more reliable because they're not being used in party politics, omicron is a pandemic of the vaccinated:
A study found that 96% of all omicron cases in Germany were among the vaccinated. Similarly, cases of omicron among the vaccinated in Ontario, Canada, are outpacing cases among the unvaccinated by 28%...Read all!
What Were the Washington DC Riots at Trump's Inauguration? - Louder With Crowder
As the Democrats decry the claims by Republicans that the 2020 election was stolen, that fraud was to blame for Trump’s loss, they forget that they were claiming fraud and a stolen election in 2016. So quickly do they want to sweep the Russian collusion hoax under the rug after they dragged it on for years, as it fell apart at the seams, as it was proven to be nothing more than a Clinton hatchet job!
Yes, they hate us!-----NEW CIVILITY WATCH:
LA Times Under Fire For Column on Mocking Deaths of Anti-Vaxxers.
A Los Angeles Times columnist came under fire on Monday for publishing a column celebrating the deaths of those who are anti-vaxx or are opposed to mandates.
...But mockery is not necessarily the wrong reaction to those who publicly mocked anti-COVID measures and encouraged others to follow suit before they perished of the disease the dangers of which they belittled.
Nor is it wrong to deny them our sympathy and solicitude, or to make sure it’s known when their deaths are marked that they had stood fast against measures that might have protected others from the fate they succumbed to themselves...Read all!

Where did the money go??-----Feds Blew $100 Billion on Extra Hospital Beds, Got FEWER Hospital Beds
...Among the law’s many, many very, very expensive provisions was $100,000,000,000 (that’s one million dollars, one hundred thousand times) “designed to provide an influx of money to hospitals and other health care entities responding to the coronavirus pandemic.”
...Guess what we got for our money?
Would you believe… fewer hospital beds?
Except:
In case that chart is too small to easily read, the US currently has about 50,000 fewer staffed hospital beds right now than we had in 2020.
But wait. From there it gets really weird:
Not one to take an anecdote as data, I looked into hospitals closing ICUs or reducing bed counts...Much more, read all!!

CDC director: Why no, we still can't tell correlation from causation in COVID statistics
"Why the hell not?
One of the most basic questions in any pandemic is true mortality rate.
“Do you know how many of the 836,000 deaths in the U.S. linked to COVID are from COVID or how many are with COVID but they had other comorbidities, do you have that breakdown?” Baier asked.
“Yes of course, with Omicron we’re following that very carefully. Our death registry, of course, takes a few weeks to collect and, of course, Omicron has just been with us for a few weeks, but those data will be forthcoming,” Walensky replied.
Ahem. The CDC’s data reporting website makes no such distinction at all...Read all!

BREAKDOWN: Basic Services And Supply Chains Are Rapidly Breaking Down All Over The Globe
"...Throughout the latter stages of 2022, I documented how basic services were breaking down all across the country, but this was a trend that was largely ignored by the mainstream media until now. Fear of the Omicron variant has taken things to an entirely new level, and at this point things have gotten so bad that even the mainstream media is full of stories about this crisis. For example, over the weekend this was one of the Drudge Report’s main headlines: “NATIONWIDE BREAKDOWN OF SERVICES”. The following is an excerpt from that story…
Ambulances in Kansas speed toward hospitals then suddenly change direction because hospitals are full. Employee shortages in New York City cause delays in trash and subway services and diminish the ranks of firefighters and emergency workers. Airport officials shut down security checkpoints at the biggest terminal in Phoenix and schools across the nation struggle to find teachers for their classrooms.
The current explosion of omicron-fueled coronavirus infections in the U.S. is causing a breakdown in basic functions and services — the latest illustration of how COVID-19 keeps upending life more than two years into the pandemic.
This is happening almost everywhere, and it is deeply affecting industry after industry...Read all!!
