Who’s Up For Dining In An Igloo Outside Due To Bat Soup Virus?

By William Teach November 18, 2020 – 7:46 am

This sounds exciting with winter coming

Reserve an igloo for safe, warm outdoor dining experience in Durham

Pop-up outdoor dining experiences are on the rise as restaurants continue to navigate through the pandemic.

With cold winter weather on its way to the Triangle, one Durham business has gotten creative to keep customers coming.

Unscripted Hotel has redone its popular rooftop in Durham especially for social distance. Small groups can gather inside an ‘igloo’ to stay safe. The hotel hopes the winter wonderland experience will draw customers during the winter months.

“Having this piece, having the igloos, has really kind of helped keep us more afloat,” said Matthew Whiteheart, Unscripted general manager.(snip)

The six igloos spread out on the patio are meant to isolate guests from other groups while also keeping them warm. They can fit up to 10 people safely and have windows for air ventilation.

“We allow 30 minutes in between each igloo transition. We sanitize them. We have electrostatic sprayers. We’re wearing masks. All those types of things we have taken to heart to make sure we’re doing this right,” added Whiteheart.

I don’t blame the hotel for doing this, or others and bars and restaurants, but, let’s face it, this is silly. You aren’t allowed to be inside the hotel to eat but you’re allowed to be inside the igloo because the igloo is outside? What sense does that make? It apparently makes sense to Government, so they have to do things like this.

Meanwhile, right down the road in Raleigh

Raleigh City Council on Tuesday moved to cancel any special events through March 31, 2021.

By that time it will have been more than a year since the coronavirus pandemic took hold in the United States, forcing stay-at-home orders and causing almost a quarter-million deaths. The coronavirus that causes COVID-19 is known to spread through close contact, and as it spread, events like concerts, festivals and parades have been canceled worldwide.

No festivals, no concerts, no parades. Interestingly, there is the gun and knife show at the state fairgrounds this weekend, but, then, Raleigh cannot ban anything on state property. Let’s go out to Oregon

Some lawmakers are criticizing Oregon’s limits on group activities so close to the Thanksgiving holiday while proponents of the measures stay quiet on the nightly riots in Portland involving hundreds of people.

Gov. Kate Brown, a Democrat, ordered a two-week freeze that includes limiting indoor and outdoor gatherings to no more than six people from no more than two households in an effort to curb the spread of the coronavirus.

“For the last eight months I have been asking Oregonians to follow the letter and the spirit of the law and we have not chosen to engage law enforcement,” Brown said Friday. “At this point in time, unfortunately, we have no other option.”

Violators could face up to 30 days in jail, up to $1,250 in fines, or both, the Oregonian reported. Brown said she would work with state police and local law enforcement to encourage Oregonians to comply with her mandate.

China Joe Really Wants To Limit Your Thanksgiving

By William Teach November 17, 2020 – 6:30 pm

Last time I checked, China Joe has not been inaugurated as POTUS yet. Heck, he won’t even be the president-elect till all the electoral college votes are cast in December. But, like most authoritarians, he expects you to comply

Joe Biden on Thanksgiving Gatherings: 5 People, 10 Maximum ‘Socially Distanced, Wearing Masks’

Former Vice President Joe Biden suggested that Americans limit their gatherings on Thanksgiving and adhere to coronavirus protocols in their private residences, citing experts who, according to the former vice president, recommend gatherings of “five people, maximum ten people” who are “socially distanced, wearing masks.”

Biden, whom the media have declared president-elect, detailed his view on holiday gatherings during a Monday press conference in Wilmington, Delaware, urging Americans to adhere to the advice of “health experts.”

“What is your message to people who are considering, for example, getting together with their families and others for Thanksgiving? Would you urge people to reconsider their plans?” a reporter asked.

“Here’s what I would do. Let me tell you what health experts have said to me,” Biden began.

“They strongly urge that, if, in fact, we’re going to have Thanksgiving with anyone, that we limit it to maximum, maximum, they suggest five people, maximum 10 people, socially distanced, wearing masks, and people who have quarantined,” he explained.

Mind your own business, Joe. But, Democrats think they know how to run our lives, and are happy to tell us how. And force us how.

“Save lives. Look, I just want to make sure that we’re able to be together next Thanksgiving. Next Christmas. I mean it is an international crisis. It’s an international health crisis,” he said, adding that the world is “at war” with the Chinese coronavirus.

Wait, it’s an international crisis? Huh. For all that we hear, this is all the fault of Donald Trump. Meanwhile

President-elect Biden calls on Congress to ‘pass a COVID relief package like the HEROES Act’

President-elect Joe Biden called on Congress to pass a stimulus bill in its lame-duck session, one that is similar in size and scope to legislation the Democratic-controlled House originally passed in May.

“Right now Congress should come together and pass a COVID relief package like the HEROES Act that the House passed six months ago,” Biden said at a press conference on Monday. “Once we shut down the virus and deliver economic meat to workers and businesses, then we can start to build back better than before.”

Two versions of the HEROES Act have passed the House. The most recent $2.2 trillion version of the bill was passed in October and an earlier $3.4 trillion version was passed in May. Both were held up in the Republican-controlled Senate.

Both were so full of left-wing priorities, most of which had nothing to really do with COVID relief, so, yeah, they were not passed. Nor did the House take up what the Republicans in the Senate were offering. This is the reason it is super important to keep the Senate if Joe does get installed.

Parents Can Tame The Stress Of Climate Crisis (scam) They Caused Or Something

By William Teach November 17, 2020 – 3:00 pm

They should start by giving up their own use of fossil fuels and making their lives and their kids’ lives carbon neutral

How Parents Can Tame the Stress of Climate Crises

My 3-year-old awoke recently, chirping happily in her bed while it was still dark outside, so I was surprised to see that the clock read 7:45 a.m. Normally, the autumn sun in Northern California would be fairly high by that time. But ash and smoke from raging wildfires dimmed the sun — in what the news labeled “turbulent mixing.” For four days, the sky remained a stubborn bruise of apocalyptic orange-gray.

My husband, our two young children and I remained housebound as the air swirled with particulates, reaching the worst recorded air quality levels around the globe. Television images of catastrophic wildfires burning along the Pacific corridor added a further sense of confinement and despair to the pandemic gloom.

OK, so this is simply another opinion piece

Unlike the invisibility of the coronavirus, evidence of extreme weather and climate events — like wildfire smoke, trees bending and snapping in high-speed winds, flooding and flames — contribute to collective “eco-anxiety” related to the climate crisis. A recent study by the Helsinki Institute of Sustainability Science has identified a common denominator: “uncertainty, unpredictability and uncontrollability, all of which are classic ingredients in anxiety.”

Anyhow, the first thing parents are to do is

Attend to Your Own Needs
Kids take emotional cues from parents, so when parents calm themselves, they can help calm family members. Psychologists call this co-regulation.

Well, good luck with this, since the parents are unhinged, which is what gave the kiddies “eco-anxiety”.

Next up, they’re supposed to seek “social connections.” Still no practicing what they preach. Then “maintain routines”, so, if they typically take lots of fossil fueled trips, keep taking them. Keep using lots of electricity and other things that are bad for ‘climate change.’ The final two, anchor in the present and stand up for others fail to do anything but be narcissistic. Why do they never want to change their own behavior?

Socialism Is Just Like Potluck, Y’all!

By William Teach November 17, 2020 – 10:30 am

In case y’all haven’t seen this one yet

Check the rest of Fuzzy Chimp’s responses over at Twitchy

Now, we do do lots of pot lucks here in the South. And they do them up North where I’m from. See, here’s what happens. You have lots of folks bringing the good stuff to that company pre-Thanksgiving affair. Big bowls of mashed taters and gravy, mac n’ cheese, 7 layer salad, green beans,  whole chickens, a big ole ham, pies, cakes, and more. And then there are the people who bring a bag of rolls, because they were told they have to bring something if they want to partake. So they spend $2 on a bag, and then eat a ton. They expect Other People to pony up, not themselves.

For awhile, things are good for the Believers. They have other people feeding them for little to no effort. Maybe they can do the dishes, but, really, that would be degrading, right, having to do work when others have so much, right?

And then full Socialism hits, and the Government forces them to purchase a turkey they cannot afford, or, even better, takes their money to purchase that turkey. Or, better yet, forces them to participate even though they were going out of town for Thanksgiving, so they wouldn’t be around for that potluck day. And say “I’m not even going.” And are now mad that they have to provide food even though not going to be there. Next up, they are forced to attend, because that’s what good Comrades do.

These nuts always think they’re only going to get the good parts. And then are shocked when the negative parts hit.

Green Recovery: Deutsche Bank Wants People To Be Taxed For Privilege Of Working At Home

By William Teach November 17, 2020 – 7:14 am

One would think that climate cultists would be thrilled by the notion of people mostly staying home and not taking fossil fueled trips to work, which would mean they wouldn’t be going out to lunch. Nope. They see this as a way of taking Someone Else’s money. It reminds me of the way government mandates higher and higher MPG standards, and wants more and more people to drive hybrids and electric cars, then they want to put more taxes on hybrids and electric cars because there is less money coming in from road and fuel taxes

Deutsche Bank Wants ‘Privilege Tax’ Imposed on People Who Work from Home

German banking giant Deutsche Bank is calling for a “privilege tax” to be imposed on people who work from home, to erase their savings from not having to commute or pay for food on their lunch breaks.

Writing in a paper for the bank titled What Must We Do to Rebuild? analyst Luke Templeman lamented the fact that “remote workers are contributing less to the infrastructure of the economy whilst still receiving its benefits.”

“That is a big problem for the economy,” he complained — as if spending much of one’s pay on commuting, dry-cleaning work clothes, and so on to boost the GDP is something of a civic duty — and proposed a 5 per cent “privilege tax” to recoup the economy’s imagined “loss”.

“Working from home will be part of the ‘new normal’ well after the pandemic has passed,” explained Jim Reid, Global Head of Fundamental Credit Strategy and Thematic Research at the German banking corporation.

“Our calculations suggest the amounts raised [from taxing home workers] could fund material income subsidies for low-income earners who are unable to work remotely and thus assume more ‘old economy’ and health risks,” he suggested.

Their estimated tax take from the scheme in Britain stands is £7 billion, with the potential to grab €20 billion (£17.8 billion) in Germany and  $49 billion (£37 billion) in America.

Most of these people are not working from home because they want to, but because they were forced to, thanks to the flu created in China. Some may enjoy the hell out of it, and might want to continue. Others are surely dying to get back to the office. So, of course, Deutsche wants to tax them for being forced to work at home, because, let’s face it, Progressives always want to tax more and more. Why isn’t Deutsche giving up lots of their own money?

As Eric Worrell points out, this is part of the climate cult’s agenda. He digs into the actual report and finds

Don’t waste the crisis: How to address Europe’s challenges for the next decade

Post-covid, Europe has a unique opportunity to make greater use of fiscal policy to support the strategic goals – green, digital, levelling up – of the EU with public investment. For this to work, fiscal expansion must be sustained, fiscal rules rewritten and common fiscal capacity created. We detail the actions that are needed.

Deutsche has long been a card carrying member of the Cult of Climastrology, pushing this green nonsense, and been a pretty big climahypocrite.

Suddenly, CNN Deems Election Conspiracy Theories “Dangerous To Democracy”

By William Teach November 17, 2020 – 6:51 am

Let’s see: we had eight years of conspiracy theories of George W. Bush stealing the elections, both 2000 and 2004. We have now had four years of Russia Russia Russia, for which CNN banged right along. But, not

Rudy Giuliani’s conspiracy theories could be dangerous to democracy, experts say

Rudy Giuliani’s increasingly outlandish claims of election fraud have former federal officials worried that theories peddled by the man once dubbed “America’s mayor” could be dangerous to democracy in the US.

In the two weeks since Election Day, Giuliani has become a super-spreader of election disinformation. His eyebrow-raising claims — from Republican observers being barred from vote counts, to mysterious batches of ballots appearing in the middle of the night, to an election technology company using Venezuelan software to swing results — have been steadily debunked in courtrooms and by federal officials who have declared there is zero evidence of widespread irregularities.

“Real distrust in the system, casting doubt on the integrity of our electoral system, the constitutional process — the Russians and the Chinese couldn’t ask for any more,” former Trump national security adviser John Bolton told CNN’s Fareed Zakaria Sunday. “This is dangerous to the Republican Party, obviously. Of paramount importance, what Trump’s doing, it’s potentially dangerous for the country.”

Javed Ali, who served as senior director for counterterrorism at the National Security Council during the Trump administration, said that Giuliani and Trump questioning the election’s legitimacy makes it more difficult for the US to “wag the finger at other countries where you see similar things happening.”

OK, blah blah blah continues. If only we had a press, afforded extra protections in the U.S. Constitution and many state constitutions, who would actually dig deep and investigate, right? CNN sure ran with the whole “Bush stole 2000/2004” conspiracy, as well as that Putin got Trump elected. That neither Bush nor Trump were legitimate presidents. They, and the guests they have on, were more than willing to run with the conspiracy theories, even after debunked, even after the Mueller Report basically said that Putin did not get get Trump elected, that Trump did not collude with Putin. They were running pieces about Trump possibly stealing 2020.

What, exactly, is wrong with investigating reports of election issues? Reporters are more than willing to dig into conspiracy theories that attempt to harm Republicans, not so much when they harm Democrats. Rudy does need to put up or shut up at this point. But, even before he started yapping, Republican voters noticed all sorts of irregularities, and people have little faith in our voting systems. That’s the danger, especially when the media, which is supposed to protect the citizens from government and investigate things, is uber-partisan.

Climate Cult Youths Think China Joe Owes Them

A youth group helped Biden win. Now they want him to fix climate crisis

Joe Biden will have to navigate a path for the most ambitious climate agenda ever adopted by a US president through not only stubborn Republican obstruction but also an emergent youth climate movement that is already formulating plans to hold him to account.

A record turnout of young voters, a cohort riven by anxiety over the climate crisis, helped Biden beat Donald Trump on the 3 November election. The Sunrise Movement, the youth-led progressive climate group, reached 3.5 million young voters in swing states and now wants to see a return on these efforts.

“We will have to see if Joe Biden is true to his word when he says that climate change is his number one issue but rest assured the movement will be there to remind him every moment of the way,” said Varshini Prakash, co-founder of the group, which surged to fame last year after a viral video showed a fractious encounter between the Democratic senator Dianne Feinstein and young climate activists who had occupied her office. “We delivered for Biden, now it’s his time to deliver for us.”

Biden has called the climate crisis an “existential threat” to the US and has outlined a $2tn plan to decarbonize the electricity sector and create millions of jobs in clean energy. This package is far more ambitious than the Democrat’s original climate plan, which groups, including Sunrise, successfully pushed to go further.

Too bad we can’t just apply everything to the little climate cultists, make them practice what they preach. He, we need experimental groups to see how things go, right? We could start with

CNN: Yeah, We Should Force Everyone To Wear A Mask To Save Lives From Bat Soup Virus

By William Teach November 16, 2020 – 10:30 am

I wonder how this is working in all the states and cities and countries with mask mandates?

The best way to make masks work against Covid-19

What over eight months of navigating the novel coronavirus pandemic has taught us is that a mask is one of the most valuable tools currently available to mitigate the spread of the virus.

A recent report produced by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington found that if 95% of Americans wore masks, we could save nearly 70,000 lives that would otherwise be lost to Covid-19 by March 1. Additional research has shown that wearing face masks reduces the spread of Covid-19. But while infection rates are rising in all 50 states, only 34 states and the District of Columbia require face covering in public. In cities and counties with masking mandates, Covid-19 cases have tended to decline compared to municipalities without such rules. Indeed, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, seven studies have confirmed significant declines in coronavirus infections in communities after universal masking orders were implemented.

Yet, more than 30% of the US population does not use them on a daily basis, according to the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation.

As the United States faces a tsunami of Covid-19 infections, with 2,200 daily deaths projected by mid-January, a national masking mandate is long overdue as part of a federal strategy to prevent further spread of the virus.

30% seems a bit high, doesn’t it? Most private businesses in those 34 states and D.C. don’t want to cause waves and they go and enforce the mandate for customers. In nations around the world they enforce the mandates even harder. Yet, COVID is again rising. Michigan has had one of the most restrictive COVID responses, and

She could now be facing impeachment for violating state law and Michigan Supreme Court rulings. Many other restrictive areas, like California and NY City, are moving restrictions back to hardcore. We’re seeing the same, again, in Europe. Why? Most people comply.

President-elect Joe Biden has made implementing this critical public health intervention a top priority. He will call on governors to enact masking orders in their states and ask local authorities to buttress these actions by making them mandatory in their municipalities.

What will China Joe do if people refuse to comply? Police?

We would never dream of sending our country’s soldiers into combat without state-of-the-art helmets, armor and weapons. In this battle against Covid-19, all Americans need the best personal protection possible to fight back.

Consumers need an easy to use rating system: just as the US requires package content and labeling for tobacco and food products, masks should be rated for the percent of viral particles filtered by the mask.

Meaning that you will only be allowed to wear certain masks, ones approved by Government. Which mostly means big big companies who donate to lawmakers.

With a new administration in January 2021 an executive order by the President or guidance from the White House Coronavirus Task Force requiring masks to be worn on federal property could be issued as well as examining other governmental authorities for requiring face coverings to be used in public settings across states.

They really do just want to control citizens.
