socialism, equals death

Italy's in dire need of help. Its health care system is collapsing. The coronavirus has put the whole country in quarantine. There are now 15,000 cases, along with 1,018 deaths, the last 24 hours bringing in 188 more. The casualty count is the highest outside China. And it's spreading fast. Until a few days ago, the problem as concentrated in the north. Now, it has spread throughout the whole country. Anyone with a heart can feel pity and an urge to help them. They need help, bad. But don't go asking the European Union. Turns out the open-borders globalist set-up is stiffing the Italians in their hour of need:

With health care collapsing, Italy learns just how worthless the EU is, and socialized medicine, too

I'm assuming that Italy, and the rest of Europe, didn't close their borders to China or anywhere else where the virus was spreading. It's quite a stark contrast to the US, where the total number of cases so far is less than that in Germany. Is it going to explode here like in Europe? I hope not. It seems to be increasing incrementally rather than exponentially.

As I saw on twitter yesterday, N.Italy has a large Chinese population with ties to the Wuhan region. Cheap labor, the Chinese mob, lax regulation... the New Yorker reported on it in 2018. Coincidence? I think not. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/04/16/the-chinese-workers-who-assemble-designer-bags-in-tuscany

This is one of the many reasons that it is necessary to have control of your borders. Hard lesson. But, will they even learn the lesson, or just pay the price and learn nothing?

If the Chinese virus brings about an end of the fatuous EU - - the that will be its good accomplishment. I still have a wad of old Italian lire in my little money chest - - and I'll be very happy to use them again! Forza Italia!

And for those who haven't visited Europe recently, they have taken down all the border crossings, so any infected person in Italy can hop in a car or train and go right to France, Spain, Germany, Belgium without anyone being in any position to check ANYTHING. As mentioned yesterday in one post, it is called the Schengen Area, and is most of the EU where there are no passports or border checks required any more. So no possibility of controlling this disease. Brexit is looking smarter, but will the Brits stop people from entering from infected areas? Having borders but not closing them at times like this is pretty useless. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schengen_Area

I've visited several European countries, including Italy. One of the things that struck me about Italy was how expensive it was to visit. I'm sure it's expensive to live there, too. Part of the problem now is that Italians just can't seem to get their act together for anything that involves a lot of planning. It reminds me of that old joke about the difference between heaven and hell - In Heaven: The chefs are French The police are English The mechanics are German The organizers are Swiss The lovers are Italian In Hell: The chefs are English The police are German The mechanics are French The lovers are Swiss The organizers are Italian

At newspapers, obituaries are typically written in advance. The Washington Post had plenty to work with when the death of Lucianne Goldberg happened, but instead of remembering good, or at least balancing their summary, they selectively chose to remember the great muse of the right, Internet pioneer, and accomplished woman from a time when women weren't allowed much accomplishment, by printing only cherry-picked tales of dubious sourcing that made her look phony. It was garbage. It stood in stark contrast to the insightful and warm-hearted tweets that overwhelmingly were the consensus on Twitter, from wildly different parts of the Internet spectrum.

Elon Musk became Twitter Inc's (TWTR.N) owner on Thursday, firing top executives and providing little clarity over how he will achieve the lofty ambitions he has outlined for the influential social media platform. "The bird is freed," he tweeted, referencing Twitter's bird logo in an apparent nod to his desire to see the company have fewer limits on content that can be posted. The CEO of electric car maker Tesla Inc (TSLA.O) has, however, also said he wants to prevent the platform from becoming an echo chamber for hate and division.

SAN FRANCISCO — Elon Musk has started cleaning house at Twitter with the firings of at least four top executives on Thursday, said two people with knowledge of the situation, as the billionaire closes his $44 billion takeover of the social media company. The Twitter executives who were fired include Parag Agrawal, Twitter’s chief executive, Ned Segal, the chief financial officer, Vijaya Gadde, the top legal and policy executive, and Sean Edgett, the general counsel, said the people, who declined to be identified because they were not authorized to speak publicly. At least one of the executives who was fired was escorted out of Twitter’s office, they said.

It's been a bad show for Democrats in midterm debates around the country -- in Pennsylvania and New York last night, and earlier in Arizona, Florida, Texas, and more. Even the Democrats think so [Snip for tweet] Michigan's gubernatorial debate was right there in with the losses. Incumbent Democrat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer was left thrashing after her debate tangle with GOP challenger Tudor Dixon. She failed to defend her record, failed to advance a new vision for the state, and let out whoppers that were instant campaign ads for Republicans as the final days ahead of midterm itself closes in.

Paranoia and fearmongering -- you can just smell it among the Democrats and their boosters. Today they got caught putting out bare naked disinformation about Republican plans for the country once they win the midterm election. They claimed Republicans were going to steal grandma's Social Security check and tax veterans benefits, among other unpopular ideas no credible party would ever endorse. These Democrats know they're slip-sliding away, you can see it even in the governors' races now, so the idea now is to scare the voters into voting for the Democrat status quo instead of embrace a new party. One problem: It's not a distortion of the Republican plans, it's actual lies,

If Joe Biden disgusts us with stubborn willingness to sacrifice the entire economy for the sake of his greenie, open-borders, big-spending, agenda, note that Democrats have it in for him, too. For Democrats, their logic is that Joe has sacrificed their political power for the sake of his greenie, open-borders, big-spending agenda. They cite 'inflation,' forgetting that they were the ones who enacted the big spending that triggered the inflation and Joe embraced, and somehow, Joe hasn't magically stopped it. For them, this is simple: angry voters at midterms about to destroy their party's majority in the House and Senate, so Joe is going to pay for it.

The tottery, weak government of Liz Truss in the U.K. has come to a mercifully short end. It was unfortunate -- there were high hopes that Truss could be another Margaret Thatcher, which is what the U.K. needs, and Truss had barely started the job, having lasted all of 44 days. The fiasco was triggered by her disastrous "mini-budget," an expensive subsidy program to counter high energy prices, combined with tax cuts, which the press repeatedly shouted were "not paid for." Old Joe Biden piled on with that one four days ago from Portland, literally between gobbles of ice cream, horning in on another country's internal affairs

So this happened, in Riverside County, (population 2.4 million) California, according to the Los Angeles Times: About 5,000 people in Riverside County will receive duplicate vote-by-mail ballots for the November midterm election after a “computer system error,” but the mistake won’t allow voters to cast ballots twice, according to the county registrar. The computer error was caught over the weekend, but not before 5,000 mail-in ballots were sent to voters living in Canyon Lake, Menifee, Murrieta, Wildomar and Winchester, said Rebecca Spencer, the Riverside County registrar of voters.

I don’t understand why Republican candidates for office are not challenging their opponents on whether or not they support President Biden’s harming national security by draining of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve for temporary price declines at the gasoline pump as the nation votes. Biden’s policies brought about high oil prices, starting with his cancellation of the Keystone Pipeline and limits on oil leasing on Day One of his term. Now, as international tensions soar, and formerly reliable oil suppliers like Saudi Arabia mull retaliation for slights from Biden, our ability to withstand a cutoff of diminishment of oil supplies is imperiled by Biden’s move to shore up his political support.

Just days before midterms, it's starting to turn toxic out there for Democrats. After a certain amount of blather about the red wave vanishing, it's back, with a vengeance, polls say, and Democrats look powerless to stop it. Start with the obvious here: President Trump is the most popular politician in the country. According to Fox News, citing a New York Times poll: More voters say they would vote for former President Trump than President Biden if the election were held today, according to a new poll from The New York Times and Siena College.

Raphael Warnock in a crucial battleground state Senate showdown. The former president, making his return to the campaign trail on behalf of fellow Democrats with just a week and a half to go until Election Day, criticized Walker, the former college and professional football star and first-time candidate, as "a celebrity to who wants to be a politician."

Paul Pelosi reportedly told 911 dispatch that the individual who allegedly attacked him with a hammer in his home “is a friend,” according to a police dispatch call early Friday morning. We received some links to the audio calls that were made to police regarding the incident. The suspect supposedly said he was waiting for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) in the home. “RP” references Paul Pelosi. Emergency dispatch officials provided the police officers with an address on the 2600 block of Broadway street in San Francisco’s Pacific Heights neighborhood, according to a dispatch call that took place around 2:28 a.m. on Friday.

Depape, 42, is a prominent nudist activist and hemp jewelry maker from Berkeley, and a member of the Green Party, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. (snip) “My firm served a lawsuit against Paul Pelosi one time in SF after attempting to serve at other residences,” tweeted civil rights attorney Harmeet Dhillon. “They weren’t home, but staff were, and multiple law enforcement officers were on the perimeter.

The San Francisco Police Department confirmed during a press conference on Friday evening that Paul Pelosi, husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was somehow able to call 911 before being attacked with a hammer, allowing dispatch to respond. Police Chief William Scott said when officers arrived Paul Pelosi and the attacker were standing in the entryway to the home, each holding onto the hammer. Confirmation that Paul Pelosi made a 911 call came after media reports said he had secretly called 911 so that the intruder would not know and spoke in a way that would alert the dispatcher to what was happening without giving himself away.

As I reported previously, the desperate Democrats pulled out Barack Obama to help them in their flagging races in Georgia. Stacey Abrams is way behind Gov. Brian Kemp in a rematch for Georgia governor and Herschel Walker was up five points on Raphael Warnock in the most recent poll from Rasmussen. Obama aimed at Herschel Walker in a bizarre attack, saying Walker was a great football player, but what did he have to offer as a candidate? Obama made an analogy, saying you wouldn’t want him to fly the plane if you needed to fly. He also claimed Walker was a “celebrity who wants to be a politician.”

The Saudis have Patriot launch systems, but need the missiles to defend against attacks from Houthi rebels in Yemen, per the report. Sources told NBC that some military officials support the idea, while others argue that the military relationship between the two countries should be kept separate from the oil
