On Physicist and CEO of Bio-Signal Technologies, Erik Nielsen, Sending an Email to Dr. Fauci Claiming that Two Medications Could Be Helpful In Treating COVID, One of Which Was Hydroxychloroquine, and Fauci Deciding Not to Read the Email Complaining that it Was "too Long"

Fauci's apologists are of course diminishing Mr. Nielsen's resume (he isn't a real medical person they say) and have decided that he isn't worth listening to. But being that they've also refused to listen to DOCTOR Risch, DOCTOR Zelenko, DOCTOR Gold, DOCTOR Raoult, and many other people accordingly credentialed, just consider the source, that's all...........................................................................................And what's the fucking downside to giving hydroxychloroquine (along with azithromycin and zinc) to patients early on in the disease? a) It's an extremely safe drug (regardless of what that young idiot girl on CNN says - forgot her name) and b) there haven't exactly been a shitload of promising alternatives (Remdesivir, the snake-oil that Fauci had been pimping has apparently shit the bed - surprise, surprise). Granted, it might have helped Trump a wee-bit but, come on, do you really want that to be the benchmark of how a society does its business moving forward? Hopefully not.

On the Fact that Marie Metoyer Possessed Nearly 300 Slaves by 1830 and Nat Butler Was One of the Cruelest Slave-Owners In the Entire South

What else, oh yeah, they were both black. In case you were interested...................................................................................................P.S. And, yes, I understand, most of the slave-owners in the U.S. were white (both in the South and in the North). But that was because the country was founded by white folks. If you went to regions in sub-Saharan Africa, pretty much all of the slave-owners there would have been black (similarly, all of the slave-owners in northern Africa would have been overwhelmingly Arabs, ditto the same trend among Native-American tribes). I mean, I get it that the race-hustlers want to pin this one-time universal institution solely at the feet of white folks but that's a lie and a dangerous one at that. Just open your damned eyes.

On Former Major League Second Baseman, Jeff Kent, Suggesting that He Was a Better Fielder than Nine Time Gold Glove Winner, Ten Time All Star, and Hall of Famer, Ryne Sandberg

Jeff Kent was an offensive powerhouse and clearly deserves some Hall of Fame consideration but a better fielder than Ryne Sandberg, yeah, I'm not thinking so. In fact, he was actually kind of so-so in the field while Sandberg was one of the finest to ever play the position. I mean, I hate to rain on the fellow's parade and all but this most assuredly needed addressing......and so I did.

On the Fact that Quarry and Bonavena Never Fought


Hard to believe in that their careers ran concurrently with both of them rated in the top ten for over a decade. And it would have been a terrific fight with Quarry being the better boxer but ole Oscar having a real knack for turning fights into brawls. Who would have won?  Likely Quarry but it depends a) on how well he could have kept the contest clean and b) on whether he could have avoided getting busted up (Quarry got stopped on cuts several times). If I had to lay odds on it, 60-40 Quarry.

On the Fact that Not Only Did Rome Fail to Conquer Those Pesky Picts of Scotland, They Actually Constructed a Wall (Hadrian's Wall) In the North of England to Keep the Picts from Invading the Roman-Held Territory

I reckon that we can ascertain from this that the Picts were somewhere in the vicinity of badass. Just a wild guess.

On the Fact that England Was Always Ahead of Scotland In Terms of Government, Technology, the Arts, etc.

Thomas Sowell (per usual) makes a solid case that it was because England had been colonized by the Romans while the Picts remained untamed (at least until the near two dozen invasions by the British themselves, the Norse occupation of the periphery, etc.), the hypothesis being that while colonialism certainly had its bad side, the conquered people frequently benefited from it (Singapore being a more recent example), especially if they adopted the political and economic institutions left by the colonizers and didn't let the infrastructure shit the bed (two things that Mugabe in Zimbabwe most assuredly didn't do).

On Public Health Officials Who Deceptively Try and Convince People that Simply by Putting a Cloth Bandana Over Their Face They Are Somehow Protected Against Airborne Pathogens

It's repugnant and just how stupid has our society become that we accept such foolishness? An idiocracy? Uh, yeah, we're getting there.
