Trust no one, trust no man, trust no woman, trust only steel

I know everybody is sick of Flu Manchu and my harping on it (Troop, if you're reconsidering your invite, I understand), but we've seen some interesting things happen the last week or so and it's time for a necessary recap.

OK, we all know deaths from this farce are dropping steadily, but states in the Occupied Zone are still locked down.

And now we have a spurt of "new" cases. Although the world still has to wear masks, unless you're a Lefty rioter in which case you have special dispensation from your state gauleiter or city commissar, none of this is not blamed on said rioters.

That would be racist, sexist, uninclusive, homophobic, and scary to all snowflakes.

TX has removed 3500 cases from its count because they counted anyone who had contact with someone who had tested positive as also positive. This cuts TX' number of new cases by 25 - 50%.

There's also those counted as positive simply because they test positive for the antibody, but not the disease.

Then, too, we have labs reporting 100% positive, a statistical impossibility much like the Philly precinct that reported 140% turnout.

And then there are the people IDed as positive simply because they signed up for the test, but didn't take it (line too long, etc.).

Now you know why The God Emperor of the Cherry Blossom Throne is rerouting data away from the CDC to one central source.

Also why they're finally (FINALLY!!!!) beginning to question Dr Fauci's ability and trustworthiness.

Now, if he'll just federalize the ARNG and let them go all Curtis LeMay on the rioters, I'll be happy.

bonus army

Army veterans that wanted their bonus.
A bonus certificate "to be paid sometime in the future."

In 1932 veterans of the first world war marched on Washington in large numbers, 10,000 encamped with that many on the way, to protest a delay for payment they were promised. They were hurting from the depression, they needed the money now and time for them was running out. They came to demand from Congress the promise be fulfilled before they died. President Hoover was president at the time, left to deal with the mob after Senate refused their demand, ended their session and exited the building by backdoors and by using their wily Congressional tunnels to avoid confrontation and cut out of town.
