“Emails Suggest Cuomo Undersold His Role in Altering Covid Report” (The New York Times)
Undersold?
What a gentle way of saying disgraced former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo lied.
Trust the NYT to spin a double-standard faster than a tornado.
In March 2020, the New York State Health Department directed nursing homes to readmit patients who tested positive for Covid, effectively murdering thousands of senior citizens.
At the governor’s insistence, they tried to conceal it!
The gentle NYT’s version…
Mr. Cuomo was asked repeatedly about a State Health Department report that deflected blame for the thousands of people who died of Covid at nursing homes in early 2020. Mr. Cuomo… insisted he had no memory of seeing it before its release.
But a review of emails and congressional documents appears to show how Mr. Cuomo not only saw the report, but personally wrote parts of early drafts.
Earlier in the NYT (March 2022) …
“Health Agency Under Cuomo ‘Misled the Public’ on Nursing Home Deaths”
The New York State Health Department presented nursing home data that concealed the deaths of 4,100 people, according to an audit by the state comptroller.

“GOP senator details ‘lack of cooperation’ by Secret Service on Trump shooting investigation” (NY Post)
“Things like the autopsy report, the House has it under subpoena. We don’t have it,” Sen. Ron Johnson told reporters.
“[The] toxicology report; we don’t have any of the trajectory reports. So, where’d the bullets go? We don’t even know how they handled the crime scene,” said Johnson of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations.
“We haven’t been able to interview the sniper who took out [Thomas] Crooks,” Johnson said.
Johnson described that the few documents which had been provided to the lawmakers were “heavily redacted.”
What is the Secret Service hiding?

“Top Senate Democrat 'angry' over Biden-Harris admin 'stonewalling' after Trump assassination attempts” (Fox News)
Senator Richard Blumenthal said the Department of Homeland Security was "almost derelict in its duty by resisting our requests for documents, evidence and information that are necessary to investigate."

“California accused of trying to keep children’s gender identity a secret from parents” (The Telegraph)
State Governor Gavin Newsom in July signed off on legislation which prevents teachers from being required to notify parents about their children’s gender identity or sexual orientation.
In other words, children – according to goofy Gav – are not supposed to be raised by their parents, but by the state, which advocates children buying into a Hollywood celebrity trend of allowing their bodies to be mutilated by greedy surgeons willing to cut off girls’ breasts and boys’ genitals with taxpayer money.
(Your government at work.)
The good news: Governor Gruesome will be challenged in court.
Michael Gates, the City Attorney of Huntington Beach accused the state of “unconstitutional overreach.” describing the proposed law as “an intrusion into private family matters.
“We’ll have our day in federal court, and we believe pretty strongly that the state’s law violates the 14th amendment of the US constitution.”
The lawsuit states that the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution guarantees the right of parents to make decisions about their minor children, particularly regarding the right to refuse medical treatment — in this case, social transitioning.
Amen, brother.
“Gov. Newsom attacks free speech” (Orange County Register)
After he signed three new laws regulating political ads and parodies produced by artificial intelligence, the Babylon Bee parody site produced one flouting the law and mocking him.
It uses what’s called a “deepfake” of his voice praising such “achievements” as people leaving the state and the homeless crisis.
Official Gavin Newsom Election Ad
Democracy thrives through freedom of speech, including deep fakes and other parodies.
These and other AI bills the governor may sign almost certainly will be rejected in the courts.
Let a thousand political jokes bloom.
Indeed, bring ‘em on.
“Kamala Harris Is an Artless Dodger” (Peggy Noonan, WSJ)
She evades every question of substance, leaving voters a choice between Awful and Empty.
She is coming across as wholly without substance.
Ain’t that the friggin’ truth.
Witness…
The Kackling Kamel on Oprah Windbag…
“We love our country. I love our country. I know we all do, that’s why everybody’s here right now. We love our country. We–we take pride in the privilege of being American and this is a moment where [pause] we can and must come together as Americans…
“Let’s come together with the character that we are so proud of about who we are. We believe in what is possible, we believe in what can be, and we believe in fighting for that… freedom to just be.”
“Hmm,” replied Oprah, one hopes operatically.
Continued Kackle, “And that’s who we are, we believe in all that, and so this is a moment where we stand knowing what we are fighting for. We’re not fighting against, it’s what we’re fighting for.”
Hmm, indeed.
What is she fighting for?
A guest questioner tried to get specific, asking that the Kamel explain her plan “to help lower the cost of living.”
Replied Kackle, “Yours is a story I hear around the country as I travel. In terms of both rightly having the right to have aspirations and dreams and ambitions for your family and working hard and finding that the American dream is, for this generation and so many recently, far more elusive than it’s been.”
Chuckle, oink, barf.
Who could possibly want four years of this senseless babble?
“Nancy Pelosi claimed Kamala Harris won ‘open primary’ to be Democratic nominee” (Denver Gazette)
Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi actually told Semafor interviewer Kadia Goba, “We had an open primary and she [Harris] won it. Nobody else got in the race because she was politically astute and that was the thought."
Has Nancy lost her marbles?
The thought? What thought? And who thought that thought – she and Barrack?
I guess poor Nance forgot the thought that RFK, Jr. tried very hard to get into the race as a Democrat, but the DNC blocked him from democratically entering Nancy’s “open” primaries.
And Nance also forgot the thought that Kamala Harris did not run in the primaries!
On the surface, it look as if senility has claimed a second senior politician. (Time for term and age limits.)
But the reality is worse: Thoughtful Pelosi is prevaricating (a fancy word for lying) –and doing so because she believes Americans are generally too stupid to notice.
Meanwhile, back in the Beltway Bog…
“Jill Biden leads one of lame-duck husband’s last cabinet meetings before hosting Rose Garden party without him” (NY Post)
Commented former Rep. Scott Taylor (R-Va.): “First Presidential cabinet meeting in a year and Jill Biden runs it. What the hell is going on?”
“Hezbollah Leader Calls Israeli Pager Attacks a 'Declaration of War' as Jewish State Bombs Terror Group's Strongholds” (The Washington Free Beacon)
Israel delivered a 'heavy, painful blow' to Hezbollah this week, Hassan Nasrallah acknowledges, saying that Israel’s decision to detonate scores of pagers and other electronic devices earlier this week amounted to "a major aggression" that will not go unanswered.
Harried (“Walking Dead”) Hassan got it ass backward.
It is Israel that is answering a brutal invasion by Hamas last October and subsequent hostage executions (with Hezbollah complicit).
To the perpetual of dismay of Hamas/Hezbollah (and their state supporter, Iran), answers provided by the Israelis are not only correct but also imaginative, ingenious, and highly effective.
Thankfully, all Hamas invasion rapists and murderers are doomed – and the 72 virgins they anticipate in the afterlife are actually highly skilled serpents.
Speaking of which…
“Israeli Strike Decimates Hezbollah Military Leadership” (WSJ)
In addition to blowing Ibrahim Aqil to smithereens, the Israelis took out 16 other senior commanders.
The most poetic line of this story: Many of Hezbollah’s officials and members couldn’t be reached on their mobile phones.
No shit!
KABLOOEY!!!
“Janet Jackson makes jaw-dropping claim about Kamala Harris” (Daily Mail)
Ignoramus Janet said, “She’s not black. She’s Indian. Her father’s white. That’s what I was told. I mean, I haven’t watched the news in a few days. I was told that they discovered her father was white.”
AIR HEAD!
As most people know, Kamala’s father is black. Her mother was Indian.
Most of us boomers don’t care one iota about the color of anyone’s skin. Black, brown, white, or purple – it’s all the same to us.
What matters when it comes to supporting a political candidate (male or female) is character, intelligence, conviction, the willingness to honestly express an agenda, and the fortitude to follow it through if elected.
Janet is a good example of why airhead celebrities should shut the hell up. Their opinions are meaningless. Often (like Janet), they don’t know what they’re yakking about yet strive to use their dubious influence as actors or musicians to sway fans into seeing life through their very entitled lenses, a.k.a. optical rectosis.
Rule of thumb: If a political message is coming out of drug-addled Hollyweird… RUN!
Enjoy their movies, listen to their music.
But the moment they begin spewing twaddle, well, it’s earplug time.
Add this late breaking development…
“Janet Jackson's 'apology' for statement saying Kamala Harris is not Black takes another surprising turn” (Daily Mail)
Janet blames her ignorant statement on “an unauthorized party” (her own representative).
Which explains…
“Why being a celebrity assistant is truly the worst job in Hollywood” (The Telegraph)
Celebs love trumpeting inane (perhaps drug-induced) pronouncements. But when caught out by facts, they cast blame for how stupid they sound on expendable minions.

The good news about the Democrats and their Neocon and intel gang is that they've all gotten really bad at destroying their enemies. They tried to destroy the Babylon Bee and only inspired them to more satire. They tried to destroy Huntington Beach - the CA city that my Dem friends insist is run by fascists but which is a model of resistance against our truly totalitarian governor - and Huntington is fighting back. They tried to assassinate Trump twice and failed. They tried to ruin RFK Jr with a sexting set-up affair and his supporters couldn't care less - in fact, I'm willing to bet a number of Kamala supporters are thinking “at least he can write a coherent sext.” So for those of you who are worried they will find a way to cheat back into the White House and destroy America - I think they've proven that they're not up to pulling off destroying anyone anymore. Time to fight back. You have nothing to lose but a handful of calories against these morons.
“Optical rectosis” nicely sums up not just Janet Jackson, but the entire misguided group of Americans who support Kamala, Nancy, Cuomo, etc. great article! I enjoy the mixture of news, sarcasm, wit, and art.
