Charlottesville was a dress rehearsal for the right’s response to the Jan. 6 insurrection. The same group that adamantly denied that Trump had praised racists as “very fine people” are now pushing revisionist versions of what happened at the Capitol. msnbc.com/opinion/charlo…

Hi all and a Happy Belated Thanksgiving. All's well here and hopefully with all of you too.

I was getting burnt out so I took a break, just reading the headlines here and there.

A couple of weeks ago, I made an appointment with our local CVS Pharmacy for a flu shot. The nurse recognized my name and told me she worked with my daughter at the hospital. Anyway, I was telling her how my youngest and his family all contracted the virus about a year ago and asked her if the antibodies produced from contracting it naturally as opposed to the vaccine, were better? I was surprised by her answer. She told me she also does the antibody testing and has observed that after two months there are no antibodies from either way it's contracted.

And my doctor called with some good news. She told me I'm now diabetic free, my A1C is down to 5.4...but the cigars are going to get me if I don't smarten up.

[Narciso]

hey rocco how have you been?

[matt - deplore me if you must]

Glad to hear you're doing well, Rocco!

Even at the Holidays, or maybe especially during the Holidays, the Left just cannot STFU. Aubery Sr. did a fine thing and yet his words will be buried.

I do think, though, that LeBron's time has passed. The regular shots by Kanter, the Lakers not meeting expectations, and his crass behavior are wearing out his welcome in many places. Good riddance.

In the meantime the Xi variation is revving up the panic machine as deaths this year have surpassed last year's toll. Weren't vaccines supposed to end that? Or was it masks? Double masks? Social distancing? Football games? Someone get Fauci on the line for this week's 15 days to reduce the curve.

[henry]

Congrats on the A1C Rocco!

Expect politicians and the #MSM to push "highly transmissible" and ignore "extremely mild." Viruses that prevail are those that prefer hosts that live and transmit viral load.

Congrats, Rocco, I also got mine down from 6.2 to 5.4.

She told me she also does the antibody testing and has observed that after two months there are no antibodies from either way it's contracted.

I wonder if she's ever heard of T-cell immunity? Or what the data say about people getting it twice versus vaccinated people getting it? I'm guessing it's pretty favorable to natural immunity, which is why it's never discussed.

Goldman Slams Omicron Panic: "This Mutation Is Unlikely To Be More Malicious; No Reason For Portfolio Changes"

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/goldman-slams-omicron-panic-mutation-unlikely-be-more-malicious-no-reason-major-portfolio

One look at the ridiculous plunge across asset markets on Friday, which sent oil into one of its biggest tailspins in history (which as Goldman calculated would only make sense if the Omicron lockdowns are twice as bad as anything observed so far), and one would think that the Omicron variant - which as Edward Snowden so aptly put it "sounds like the name of an 80s movie's evil Robot King" (of course, the WHO had no choice but to skip the Xi variant, located right before Omicron in the Greek alphabet for obvious propaganda reasons) - is several times more aggressive and far more deadly than the Delta or any other Covid variant to date. Neither is the case, and in fact, as even Tom Peacock, one of the original Imperial College narrative-setters admitted, "it may turn out to be an odd cluster that is not very transmissable."

Amom, just catching up after a day of travel. Yesterday your 8:07 post included a link to an article from July indicating that the Omicron version of Covid had been around since July. Reading the article seems to show that it was updated to include Omicron just recently. The article focused on how they found Delta in the UK back earlier in 2021, and apparently just added Omicron references in the November update rather than adding a separate link that would have separated the two articles. Very sloppy editing.

[anonamom]

Great Pieces, Clarice. I especially like the part about German restrictions on euthanasia, although it seems counterintuitive. There are people who think population growth is a dire threat, and I'd expect the covid police to be in that camp.

I want to take a minute to defend Joe Biden.
When he complained of Trump's African travel ban and said it was a disgrace, Trump's ban was not in relation to Covid but terrorism and other criminals.
So it's unfair to make the President sound like a hypocrite over this quote.
To be truly fair we would note that candidate Biden was concerned at the time about Trump using legitimate powers of the state to keep violent monsters out of our country and protect us while the honorable President Biden is now accreting illegitimate powers to the state at the expense of us while not only dong nothing to protect us with his idiotic travel ban but is intentionally in dereliction of his sworn oath to uphold our laws at the southern border.
In this case there is not really anything hypocritical about our President. He's a just a lying POS being a lying POS.
And that's as much defense as I can muster for the POS in Chief.

[Narciso]

well he did complain about that immigration pause, but this was in 2020, the horse ran away and the barn burnt down,

We found a hilarious picture of my brother's three kids making funny faces sitting on the steps of our house in northern Maine probably 25 years ago. We texted it to my sister-in-law and she texted back a picture of three of her grandchildren making the same funny faces.They celebrated T-day at our niece's new home. Gawd, we are so old!
