The Biggest Threat To Our Children Is Coved-Caused Suicide....

The Totalitarians Are Getting Louder...

The Delta variant of the novel Coronavirus has delivered a tremendous opportunity for Democratic officeholders and public health authorities to feed their will to power. The Democratic officeholders have also seized the moment to replay the freestyle stupidity that carried us through the epidemic. Here are four columns that shed light on dark corners.

• Jacob Sullom, Reason: “The Biden Administration Continues to Exaggerate the Risk Posed by COVID-19 Breakthrough Infections While Slamming the Press for Doing the Same Thing.” Is the Biden crew evil or stupid? I’m going with stupid.

• Martin Kulldorf & Jay Bhattacharya, Spiked: “The smear campaign against the Great Barrington Declaration.” Two of the three authors of The Great Barrington Declaration reflect on what happened after they “argued for a ‘focused protection’ pandemic strategy. We called for better protection of older and other high-risk people, while arguing that children should be allowed to go to school and young adults should be free to live more normal lives.”

Quotable quote: “We Great Barrington Declaration authors failed to sway any politicians, except Florida governor Ron DeSantis.”

• Kevin Roche, Star Tribune: “Learn the right lessons from the COVID response.” Writing in early July, Kevin addressed the Delta variant as it has played out in Great Britain: “The Public Health England, where delta has been the dominant strain for a number of weeks, publishes a regular technical bulletin on all variants of concern. The most recent of those shows that delta has a lower hospitalization and death rate than did the prior predominant strain, alpha or B117, and that its transmissibility is roughly the same as alpha.”

• Kevin Roche, Healthy Skeptic: “Cumulative Look at the Epidemic, July 30.”

Kevin presents nine graphs of Minnesota data that belie “what the knucklehead experts tell you is happening.” He asks: “How could anyone not see that this epidemic is only a big problem for the very old[?] Amazingly bifurcated. Proportion of events that each age group accounts for, just what you would expect given the...

I hear you calling and it's needles and pins (and pins)

I wanna hurt you just to hear you screaming my name

Don't wanna touch you but you're under my skin (deep in)

I wanna kiss you but your lips are venomous poison

You're poison running through my veins

You're poison

I don't wanna break these chains

Biden’s Radical Prosecutor Nominee Faces Mounting Opposition

Rachael Rollins is under fire for being soft on crime and abusing her power

Pretender Joe Biden's nominee for U.S. attorney for Massachusetts is facing opposition from the halls of Congress to the streets of Boston as her nomination moves to a vote.

Sen. Tom Cotton (R., Ark.) said he plans to block Rachael Rollins’s nomination in light of her refusal to prosecute crimes as district attorney for Suffolk County. Rollins has said she will not prosecute a number of crimes, including theft and drug dealing. The Washington Free Beacon has reported that Rollins worked closely with a criminal justice reform group that wants to defund police departments.

"Rachael Rollins won’t stand up for the victims of these crimes, and I will seek to stop her nomination," said Cotton, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Rollins is also facing opposition from Katie Lawson, a Boston woman who filed a police complaint against the district attorney following a road rage incident late last year. Lawson said she is willing to testify under oath that Rollins used her police lights and threatened to issue Lawson a ticket during a minor traffic dispute on Christmas Eve. Rollins, who is biracial, has since suggested in media interviews that Lawson, who is white, is racist. Lawson vehemently denies the allegation, noting that her fiancé, who is black, was in the passenger seat of her vehicle during the incident with Rollins.

"She doesn’t deserve that position," Lawson told the Free Beacon.

Biden nominated Rollins even as he has tried to downplay allegations that the Democratic Party is soft on crime and wants to defund police. Biden this month said that Republicans who claim Democrats want to defund police are "lying." Numerous Democratic lawmakers support the defund movement, including Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D., Mass.), a Rollins ally.

Rollins formed a coalition last year with the Grassroots Law Project, a pro-defunding social justice group cofounded by controversial activist Shaun King. Rollins issued a manifesto of 15 crimes she plans to no longer prosecute in Suffolk County, including drug dealing, shoplifting, resisting arrest, and making threats.

Cotton said Democrats’ soft-on-crime policies have caused a dramatic spike in crime across the United States over the past year.

"Democrats have defunded police departments, stopped prosecutions for numerous crimes, ended cash bail, and demanded early release even for...
