One of the latest examples comes from Montgomery County, Virginia.

A Montgomery County School Board meeting briefly became rowdy Tuesday, prompting the elected body’s chairwoman to leave for the remainder of the night after being directly targeted by a local right wing activist over masking. Board Chairwoman Sue Kass, who just started the third year of her term and was selected to the leadership role last month, left the meeting during the midst of the regular public comments period a short time after a speaker, Alecia Vaught, held up her phone and showed what she said were Facebook photos of Kass without a mask on while in a crowd.
—– Roanoke Times, 2/16/22

The left wing school board chairwoman took offense to parent Alecia Vaught’s presentation of pictures of Susan Kass posted on Facebook maskless at a time where masks were supposedly mandatory on school property and functions….

It appears Kass has scrubbed those inconvenient pics from her Facebook page.

Kass, a former teacher, lamented the level of personal politics and “selfish beliefs” that she said have been injected into discussions on the pandemic.<
“I volunteered to do this because I care about teachers, and I care about students,” she said.

Kass said the photos Vaught showed on her phone proved “absolutely nothing.” Kass said Tuesday was also upsetting because her father was in the hospital at the time of the meeting.

“And I stayed here for this,” she said.

Well, no one is forcing her to stay on the school board either and hopefully, she walked out for good.

One would think if the New York Times “obtained” a document of monumental importance to the lives of Americans, we see it. Of course, we’re talking about today’s standards of journalism.

As President Trump presses for states to reopen their economies, his administration is privately projecting a steady rise in the number of coronavirus cases and deaths over the next several weeks. The daily death toll will reach about 3,000 on June 1, according to an internal document obtained by The New York Times, a 70 percent increase from the current number of about 1,750.

The projections, based on government modeling pulled together by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, forecast about 200,000 new cases each day by the end of the month, up from about 25,000 cases a day currently.
— New York Times, 5/4/20

As expected in our world of sensationalism based on “anonymous” or “official” unnamed sources, the document in question is not presented for public inspection.

As the administration privately predicted a sharp increase in deaths, a public model that has been frequently cited by the White House revised its own estimates, doubling its projected death toll.

The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington is now estimating that there will be nearly 135,000 deaths in the United States through the beginning of August — more than double what it forecast on April 17, when it estimated 60,308 deaths by Aug. 4. (The country has already had more than 68,000 deaths.)

Again, that “68,000” death count is still up for debate seeing how official numbers appear to double, seemingly overnight.

And back to that University of Washington model that was also conveniently not linked to by the New York Times, how many university and agency models have been correct in their predictions so far?

Not very many, if at all.

Regarding the updated models, our analyses indicate that the later models do not show any improvement in the accuracy of the point estimate predictions. In fact, there is some evidence that this accuracy has actually decreased over the initial models.
— An Examination of the Statistical Accuracy of COVID19 Daily Death Count Predictions, 5/5/20

So, the “model” predictions are getting worse, but are yet being cited as fact to influence behavior. One would hope disseminating accurate numbers to the public would be a priority before potentially scaring the shit out of millions of people worldwide, let alone domestically.

We already KNOW, based on a named source, that Coronavirus infection numbers are being intentionally driven up for what has to be political purposes.

Reached via email on Monday morning, Joe Macenka, a spokesman for Virginia’s COVID-19 Joint Information Command, confirmed that each positive case of the disease would be counted as a new case altogether. “If a person is tested on different days, those tests are counted as separate,” he said.

Pressed to clarify the policy, Macenka said that repeat positive cases “are counted as separate cases only if the tests occur on different days. If [a Virginia resident] tested Monday and Tuesday and both are positive, that’s two positives.”

That policy may serve to sharply drive up case numbers, which may in turn significantly delay the re-opening of the state. Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam has stated that the state will begin its first phase of re-opening only when state officials have logged 14 straight days of declining case numbers and hospitalizations.
— Just The News, 5/4/20

It would be naive to assume that this is only happening in blue Virginia.

Here’s the problem for the left. Americans, not blessed by uninterrupted paychecks, want to get back to work. Americans are tired of being told to stay at home for the sake of not sharing a virus no one can see and fear ramped up for the obvious benefit of a political party facing a presidential and down-ballot ass whuppin’ in less than six months.

Politicians and their media could give a rip about the economy and all those dependent on its success for daily survival. It’s all about beating President Trump and if they have to make shit up along the way, it’s not like they haven’t done this before.

It’s not hard to imagine how those in federal and state federal government can be so casual when it comes to their evolving time schedules as to when the nation will be fully open for business because it’s as simple as follow the money. They’re getting theirs thus there’s no sense of urgency, the “process” of politics can run it’s course because certain taxpayer-funded paychecks have been assured to come in uninterrupted.

Remember this when the political class drags this process out to collect more COVID-19 “data”, fat-and-comfortable government employees go on social media and tell those who fund their incoming paychecks to shut up and stay home, humble yourself and visit a food bank, decline to pay your rent and bills, never leave home (and if you must risk killing us all, not without a mask), and succumb to your movements being tracked and stored.

It must be nice.

NOTE — We’re not including self-centered celebrities because they don’t have the power over us they believe they have.

Most black Democrats know their place and act accordingly, and that also includes the clergy. So, when a so-called “conservative” pastor was invited to offer the morning prayer before the regular session of the Virginia House of Delegates, liberal Democrats clearly expected him to give an authorized invocation sympathetic to their politics.

Things didn’t go as planned….

Check out the following video, including a standing ovation for Del. Luke Torian, who forcefully denounced an anti-LGBT, anti-abortion prayer delivered this morning by a pastor.

P.S. You can watch the “prayer” here… or, probably a better idea, not.
— Blue Virginia, 2/11/20

The hypocritical outrage from the tolerant intolerants was predictable.

The ideological tension boiled over into Tuesday’s invocation in the House, where the Rev. Robert M. Grant Jr. of the Father’s Way Church in Warrenton gave a prayer that railed against abortion and same-sex marriage, prompting most of the Democratic caucus to walk out. Even a few Republicans retreated to the rear of the chamber.

“There is a time and a place for everything,” Del. Matt Fariss (R-Campbell) said afterward. “This is a time we need to work together and not be divisive.”
— Washington Post, 2/11/20

It must suck to have an event hijacked by someone who doesn’t agree with those present.

“Is this a prayer or a sermon?,” a delegate yelled from the Democratic side of the chamber as the prayer turned increasingly political. Democrats were sharply critical of the prayer’s tone, calling it a breach of the normal protocols for guest clergy. The pastor had been invited by Del. Michael Webert, R-Fauquier. Speaking to reporters afterward, Grant stood by his remarks and called the Democratic response “unprofessional.”

“I think that the statehouse belongs to all the citizens. And all the citizens have a voice,” Grant said. “If it’s my turn to have a voice, and I am a pastor, what do you expect from me? If you don’t want to hear what a pastor has to say, then don’t invite one.”
— Virginia Mercury, 2/11/20

Democrats have a long tradition of blatantly showing up in black churches, risking an IRS violation of their 501(c)(3) nonprofit status, purely for political purposes. Even if the Democrat politician may not say one partisan word, their very purpose is intended as a very visual endorsement.

While we’re constantly reminded that liberal Democrats embrace the free exchange of ideas, the action by Virginia Democrats once again proved that they only tolerate speech they agree with, and heaven help any black person who speaks out of turn.

We all know what Virginia Democrats did to uppity blacks not all that long ago….

So when video from 1985 resurfaces of Democrat presidential candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden introducing a band member in blackface onstage during a congressional dinner, don’t expect too much as far as substantive backlash, or a sincere apology.

We’ll be told, as was the case with Virginia Governor Ralph Northam, that WE need to have a conversation about race.

Joe Biden will probably remind us of all of his black friends because it’s not who he is… despite what we see with our own eyes, again.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her staff, AGAIN, thought she had some got’cha brownie points while former acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Thomas Homan showed her the difference between an adult professional and an arrogant child with power. Don’t even get us started on the embarrassment that is Rep. Gerry Connolly.

Again, these children were brought across the United States border by those who intended on violating our sovereign border by either sneaking across it or claiming asylum. Either way, there is a process they willfully ignored and that’s the only reason why their children find themselves in the predicament they’re in.

But to hear these Democrats lament about their alleged ill-treatment of children, while they gleefully vote around the country to kill American babies (after-birth abortion) whenever a mother feels like it, is just sick.

Pushing back against critics who say it’s too soon to contemplate gun control laws after the May 31 mass shooting at the Virginia Beach Municipal Center that killed 12 people and injured several others, Gov. Ralph Northam said Tuesday morning that he will call a special session of the Virginia legislature. His goal is to enact what he called “common sense public safety laws” this summer.
— Patch, 6/4/19

This is the consistent political reaction when it comes to white victims of gun violence.

Colorado school shooting prompts Dem presidential hopefuls to call for gun reform
In Wake of Synagogue Shooting, Pittsburgh Mayor Calls for Gun Control
Congressman calls for gun control in wake of Waffle House shooting
Tech execs call for gun control after YouTube shooting
Democrats quickly call for tighter gun laws after Las Vegas shooting massacre
Hours after Thousand Oaks shooting, Newsom calls for more gun control

And that’s only a quick sample, however….

At least 52 people were shot and 10 killed in Chicago’s most violent weekend so far this year, leading police Superintendent Eddie Johnson on Monday to declare the uptick a “despicable level of violence.”

The bloody weekend eclipses the Memorial Day holiday weekend, when at least 33 people were wounded and seven killed, NBC Chicago reported.
— NBC News, 6/3/19

Now, can you imagine the outrage if THAT story made national news and instead of happening in an impoverished part of Chicago, this happened on the Upper East Side, Beverly Hills, The Hamptons, Martha’s Vineyard, La Jolla, Sea Cliff, etc.

More than 100 people were shot in Chicago over the course of one of the bloodiest Fourth of July weekends in the city’s recent history.
— TIME, 7/6/17

We all know the rapid-response, political posturing had such happened in any suburban white neighborhood. We’d see Jussie Smollett-type dragnets round-the-clock for those who committed the violence and there would be highly publicized arrests; not the number of the unsolved the West Side and South Side districts of Chicago have accepted as the norm.

At least 11 people were shot and killed and about 70 others were wounded over the weekend in Chicago, in a spasm of gun violence that police attributed mostly to gangs and that the president’s lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, used to criticize the city’s Democratic leadership.
— PBS, 8/6/18

This, too, exposes the long-standing fallacy that Democrats are still “the white man’s party” and no horrendous number of black deaths (on the street or in the womb) will make them take any action to help those in the most violent neighborhoods defend themselves.

The Chicago Police Department recorded that at least 74 people were shot in the country’s third-largest city, with 28 of those shootings occurring between Friday evening and Sunday morning.
— Newsweek, 5/6/18

Meanwhile, the Democrat Party continues to show us whose lives they really value and whose they really don’t.
