Jake Tapper, Without a Mask, Asks Amy Klobuchar If She Felt Her Life Was In Danger When Ted Cruz Spoke To Her Without a Mask

Also note that Amy Klobuchar wasn't really masked -- her stupid needlenose was out, defeating the whole point of the mask.

And during the interview, Jake Tapper's whole honking-goose schnozz* was out. As was his whole dick-shaped mouth.

See below the fold for a discussion about that.

This is hurting the left -- it was this issue, specifically school closures at the behest of the teachers unions, that flipped Virginia to the Republicans -- so suddenly the New York Times is counselling those it instilled panic in for two years, entirely for crude, cynical political purposes, to not panic so much.

Again, for crude, cynical political purposes. They just want to blunt the Red Wave.

Clay Travis snapped a picture of a half-page NYT op-ed telling its neurotic hysteric audience to stop panicking so much and let people get back to their normal lives.

Link here.

"Too many Americans are still paralyzed with doubt and fear over each new uncertainty," it says, and urges people to return to their pre-covid lives.

It also says it's time to end "Covid theater."

But they still want to continue punishing children with all-day masking.

Because children can't vote. So f*** 'em.

I also think that this is balancing the "equities" -- the teachers unions want children punished for making them come to work, and the teachers are too big and unified a voting block to defy. So while they want to re-attract independent voters they've alienated, they certainly aren't ready to tell the teachers unions "No" any time soon.

Even David Frum wants to return to normal. Because he, too, understands that the covid panic is no longer helping his precious Democrat Party, but hurting it.

Mind you, his ideas of "back to normal" are vicious and punitive against the Deplorables who rejected him and his neoliberal Bush claque.

David Frum seems like he would be a vegetarian if you could make dick out of lentils.

That's a good joke. That's a joke that you're going want to pass on to your sons, and they will pass to their sons in turn.

Thus is our great culture transmitted.

Let me put a happy spin on that: NeverTrump now fully understands they are done, done, DONE in the conservative party, forever, and so they are down to just trolling and insulting conservatives, and Demonstrating Value to their Democrat Party allies and funders, and seeking, as did their prize candidate Joe Biden, business opportunities with Chinese Communist Party shell companies.

This isn't a new thing; they began realizing this a few months into 2021 when "the spell of Trump" that they willed themselves into believing we were all under failed to dissipate.

Little by little, the masks slipped, and then the masks fell, and now, the masks are dropped to the ground and smashed underfoot.

At least they are gone, and they're not coming back. They are officially the Democrats' problem now.

Below, the hyperpartisan Jake Tapper -- who used to have a harem of "conservatives" following him around like swooning co-eds, and who probably still has them on the down-low, in DMs -- wants to know how much of a danger a maskless Ted Cruz poses, without the self-awareness to realize that he himself is maskless and has barely ever worn a mask in public appearances.

Jake Tapper is dumbfounded that Amy Klobuchar didn’t blast Ted Cruz for not wearing a mask next to her at Bob Dole’s funeral...

Perhaps because she realized she would have NO argument considering her entire nose is out? Saved herself the embarrassment!pic.twitter.com/boz4xNcG6o

Jake Tapper asks, masklessly, of the supposedly still-fragile cancer survivor who could die if she gets covid.

Jake Tapper has never worn a mask on his show despite his constant hectoring that everyone else be masked around the clock. (Though he never covers Democrats caught going without masks.)

AG
@AGHamilton29
This clip is such a great example of what’s wrong with cable news. Tapper is sitting [three feet] from Klobuchar without a mask insisting she attack Ted Cruz for talking to her without a mask at Dole's funeral.
All three individuals are vaccinated.
Cloth masks provide rather limited protection. Especially when the individuals are vaccinated. So using Tapper's logic, will we never be allowed to socialize without masks again? Or only when on set for a CNN show?

Only leftwingers can go maskless. They are The Ones Cleansed and Made Pure by Holy Science.

San Francisco mayor London Breed has been caught repeatedly clubbing without a mask.

The last time, just after Thanksgiving.

Mentions from Jake Tapper? Zero.

And, as I said: This wasn't the first time.

Karol Markowicz is always pointing out that while the "sexagenarian" governess of New York "https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-mask-mandates-reinstated-in-new-york">Kathy Hochul imposes mask mandates on everyone in the state -- especially on children, who wear masks literally all day long in school, except between bites and sips while eating and drinking -- she literally never wears a mask herself, whether indoors or outdoors, and counts on the leftwing media, and Neoliberal Fascist Praetorians like Jake Tapper, to never notice.

Which they never, ever do.

Here's this sexagenarian and some "educators" and some kids.

Notice the masking policy.

Who is being protected here? Who is being burdened with restrictions and impositions, to benefit whom?

Children's intellectual and social development is being literally retarded, possibly permanently (we don't know yet -- no society in history has ever been deranged enough to attempt a society-wide experiment like this on their children before) so that sexagenarians like Kathy Hochul can galavant around maskless on canasta night.

Below: Fauci demands that children, who are at very very low risk of covid, be vaccinated, and DeSantis suggests that all citizens line up to get injected with wonder drug called "Freedom."

The only thing I can think is the masked have decided would rather make everyone miserable with masks instead of pushing to get their masks taken off?

80 In the Clay Travis video of Fauci, the demented little fuck says, "This idea that children are not vulnerable at all is not so, Joy." Then he goes on to say there are over 2,000,000 cases of infection and ~100 deaths.

That's a 0.005% chance of death. I'm also willing to bet those 100 children had other very serious illnesses, like cancer, that were their true cause of death.

That's assuming of course that all cases of Covid for kids that age are recorded. I'm certain most Covid infections aren't recorded. My six year old had Covid. The first night he threw up. He coughed. He had a headache for about three days. That's it. He was keen as a bean to go play and be a normal kid on day four.

So we need to inject experimental drugs with known heart-damaging side effects into healthy children for a disease with less than 1/20,000 death rate (assuming their numbers aren't straight up bullshit.)

Interesting, Russia could have continued to pressure the West and ignore the climate regime greenie rules for Russia as usual. But instead does the right thing (or so it seems), and puts the pressure back on Russia. Maybe this is just negotiation to squeeze more out of the West (read: US, German, French, UK taxpayers) before they vote the "right way" while laughing on the way to the bank.

128 I'm getting really sick of all this demonizing of unvaccinated people.

Every chart you look at of hospitalized covid victims shows that the majority of them are vaccinated. It's not the evil unvaxxed who are taking up most of the hospital beds, it's the vaccinated.

Unvaccinated people are unvaccinated for a variety of reasons. Some have already had the virus, and thus have naturally-acquired immunity, which every study to date has concluded is more effective and longer lasting than the protection afforded by the vaccines. Some people have allergies or other medical conditions that make getting the vaccines too risky for them. And some people just don't want the damn vaccines, for their own reasons.

The unvaccinated didn't start this pandemic, and aren't hurting anybody by refusing to get the clot shots.

If idiots like Frum want to blame somebody for this virus, why not start with that asshole Fauci, who spent years sending millions of our tax dollars to dirty Chinese labs engaged in bioweapons research. He and his ilk bear far more blame for the spread of the stupid virus than any unvaccinated person.

The moderate vote was always circling around Biden because of the media fiction created during the Obama years that Biden was just nice old Uncle Joe moderate Democrat. With him in the race, moderate voters didn't really have any reason to go anywhere else, especially with the media trumpeting every leftist of note as the true Trump killer (remember Beto? do you remember BETO?!).

It would have been an extremely different race if Biden hadn't run. Someone like Klobuchar could have gained some traction.

Spielberg loves the original and has been chomping at the bit to make a musical for decades (he apparently wanted to make Hook a musical at one point).

I'm not surprised that he made it. I'm surprised someone decided to spend $100 million on it.

Spielberg said he won't do subtitles, because that would "give English power over Spanish". It also appears they've made quite a few changes, even removing characters (Doc) and now, there's a third party that causing the rift between gangs.

Until I saw the story about Moreno turning 90, I didn't even realize it had been revived. Moreno was in the original '61 movie as Anita, and is in the current revival as Valentina.

151 FNM keeps telling me that 80-some percent of people in the hospital for covid are unvaccinated. And I don't think they are full on lying. If the CDC was not telling Docs to only give care that generates kickbacks for the CDC I might even have been guilted into getting a clot shot.

But FNM is not going to give me accurate #s as to how many total hospital/ICU beds are sucked up by covid patients and the CDC is telling docs not to prescribe easy early treatments to lessen likelihood of their patients getting so sick they need hospital. Therefore I won't budge on refusing the vaccine.

It was fucking insulting and I'm not a clinician. As snippet (the previous paragraph began the bank robber metaphor):

"However, after a few months, nothing is happening, so the security guards will relax. Luckily, your vaccine has given you an alarm system in case something happens. This alarm system is your cellular immunity. If the robber (the virus) tries to break in, the alarm goes off and your neutralizing antibodies will be produced to apprehend and arrest. Getting the booster strengthens your security, like those laser systems from the movies."

This allegedly was written by a physician.

And Spielberg shot himself in the head with the notion that making entertaining movies is just not enough. So, that didn't help.

State media only does that if the DNC decides COVID is too much of a liability for them, and if their ability to enact their agenda due to COVID fear / COVID emergency force grows less effective.

It's been interesting, that the UK's National Health Service (socialize medicine) had been leading the charge about stopping a lot of the propaganda.

Just for the record, if the Coof gets you sick enough to go to the hospital, once you're there, the risk is the same for unvaxxed vs vaxxed.

Every movie designed to appeal to older audiences released this year has bombed horribly. West Side Story is just the latest in the line that includes The Last Duel and Belfast. The only movie like that that's had any measurable success is Wes Anderson's The French Dispatch, and that was only in its limited run. So, that's a comparative win and nothing big.

The only things doing well at all are comic book movies, movies designed your Gen X and younger.

200 David Frum's tweet is appalling. Not to mention non factual.

Today in Michigan, Appx. 69% of those hospitalized with Covid 19 are unvaccinated or partially vaccinated.( whatever that means) The remaining 31% are fully vaccinated.

410 patients were admitted today who are covid positive. The figures do NOT say if they were admitted because of Covid or something else and were found to be positive via mandatory testing during admittance. One quarter of ICU patients are Covid 19 positive, three quarters are NOT. 1019 out of 4518. Half of the Covid 19 ICU patients are on vents.

Today, the Michigan Supreme Court denied a family's lawsuit demanding the hospital their father was in administer ivermectin to him. Said they did not want to get in the business of ordering specific treatments for patients as a court. Father is apparently improving despite not receiving Ivermectin.

Note the total disregard to the mask required sign.

209 91 Blame parents. At the end of the day they are the ones masking their kids and vaccinating them to their detriment. They are not smart enough to realize they are being conned.

Absolutely. I have a niece that just went on another rant. She got covid, her boyfriend, both their kids and her mom. They have all been vaccinated and she is a mask Karen. She's dumber than a box of rocks.

Speaking of a box of rocks... One of my acquaintances here, a young mom, just got over Covid (like a week and a half ago) and got talked into getting a shot- and has already gotten one shot! Like... why? Just... why? This is someone who doesn't mask up and is a conservative. I think her 'medical professional' family members pressured her into it.

I mean, at least wait a few months.

Posted by: Christopher R Taylor

I am explaining how courts see the issue rather than personal opinion. The fact is that Jacobson is still good precedent and on point. So, to avoid that mandate, one has to win at district court with facts that the particular Covid vaxx mandate is harmful. Then the courts can carve out an exception to Jacobson perhaps with a balancing rule to replace the bright line rule of Jacobson.

Cats did well? Are we talking the movie or the stage production, because musical theater is a niche little thing and the movie bombed horribly.

Phantom of the Opera did decently, possibly turning a profit. And then there was Chicago.

Audiences showing up for musicals in big numbers are rare events to the point where trailers for musicals hide the fact that they're trailers for musicals. Seriously, check out the trailer for West Side Story. It doesn't look like a musical to me. It's not unheard of anymore, but it's rare enough that you don't spend $100 million on one.

But don't worry, Super Speilberg has fixed all those glaring, raaaaacist errors!

Also, what's going on with this is the sunk cost fallacy. This is a form of human irrationality that just can't be shaken (and a big red flag about "rational actor" theories in economics).

A way to generalize the sunk cost fallacy is once you dug a hole, you tend to keep digging. Once you've wasted a bunch of money, or you best-laid plans have failed, you tend to keep doing, rather than cutting your losses. You've spent so much money/effort!

That explains the public health lunatics and CovidKarens. Their plan has clearly failed, yet they must keep on digging.

A really easy way to grok the sunk cost fallacy is to apply it to a TV show that started out really good but then declined. You're in the middle of Season 4 when you realize it sucks, but you see it through to completion - wasting time the whole way to the end - because you've already put so much time into it that you feel like you have to see it to the end.

Unless the state governor's emergency EO can clearly be shown to violate something in the Constitution, or affects citizens in other states, or encroaches on Federal authority (immigration laws) - its ought to be highly unlikely that the federal judicial system gets involved.

Spielberg didn't make the movie because he wanted it to be accessible. He made it because he wanted to showcase his phony "woke" virtue.

But the fact remains that both English and Spanish are the languages of the western European conquerors of North America and adjacent islands such as Puerto Rico. English is today predominant because the English-speaking conquerors were more successful than the Spanish-speaking conquerors.

But the Spanish were still conquerors, and they were more vicious to native peoples than the English.

I don't think a second movie is going to be anything nearly approaching the first, and I don't see them making it stand on its own, either. They can't help themselves. No doubt, while they could have totally fucked up the ending and didn't, a sequel will give them plenty of opportunities to move into bad taste territory.

No doubt, while they could have totally fucked up the ending and didn't, a sequel will give them plenty of opportunities to move into bad taste territory.

Good. All the data out of South Africa shows that Moronic is much more infectious but much less virulent than the previous strains. They put a ceiling of 1/25th on the IFR. That's a ceiling, mind you, may be less than that.

So, if we just stop doing all this nonsense, Moronic rips through, becoming dominant everywhere by blowing away all the other variants in the Darwin race, and everyone gets a mild cold to flu and it's over.

The fictional part is that they actually put a drug kingpin behind bars once.
The rest of the show is a contest as to who is stupider, the cops or the criminals. Usually the cops are SLIGHTLY less stupid.

I read a review of the Villeneuve Dune yesterday, where the author was annoyed that the Fremen weren't played by Arabs. Even in space opera, set in a year that looks like a zip code, you have to worry about casting your desert people in an ethnically suitable way.

468 City of Chicago confirms it WILL sue Jussie Smollett for wasted $130k police investigation into fake hate attack: Nigerian brothers he accused also plan lawsuit

Embattled actor Jussie Smollett still faces a $130,000 lawsuit from the City of Chicago -- and more legal trouble from the brothers he hired to attack him -- after he was convicted of staging his own assault in a botched career move.

The former Empire star dominated headlines in January 2019 after he claimed he was victimized in a racist, homophobic attack, but investigators soon determined his story was a hoax.

The Chicago Police Department came to the conclusion after more than two dozen cops spent weeks investigating the bogus story, logging 1,836 overtime hours in the process, a July 2019 legal filing said.

490 Am from United States. I was diagnosed with Herpes early this year in 2021 and the doctor told me herpes has no cure. I kept searching for any possible cure. While searching, I came across lots of reviews on facebook about how doctor DOUGRAY used herbal medicine to cure different people from Herpes and other diseases. I made an order for the herpes cure eraser and I received it 5 days later, I took the medicine for 9 days as instructed. While taking the medicine, I noticed some changes in my body. I used the medicine during the outbreak and the outbreak stopped completely. all the itching and pain was gone completely. When I was done taking the herbal medicine, I went for a test and I was confirmed Herpes negative "totally cured". Before I made an order for herbal medicine, I promised Dr DOUGRAY that if his product actually worked for me I was going to share the testimony through all social media so lots of people can be aware that Herpes is curable. you can contact dr dougray via Email: drdougray@gmail.com
