Here are some random things that I had to get off my mind.  Some of them tie together, but there is no common theme except that we live in a crazy world.

Sonia Sotomayor – The Expert on COVID

This illustrious Supreme Court justice recently declared that 100,000 children are in serious condition, many of them on ventilators, because of COVID.  The fact checkers are saying she was off by a factor of at least 20 because there are only a couple of thousand kids in hospitals with COVID.

But even this is misleading.  In a rare moment of truth, Fauci recently stated that many of the children in hospitals with COVID were admitted for other reasons but tested positive while in the hospital.  So they are in the hospital with COVID, not because of COVID.

It is great that Sotomayor made this comment because it helps further delegitimize the government.  In this case, it is the Supreme Court taking the hit.

If there is one thing to be learned from 2020 and 2021, it is that we shouldn’t be respecting someone’s thoughts and opinions just because they are deemed an “expert”.  Who gets to determine who qualifies as an expert?  The other experts?  It is an endless loop.

There are nine Supreme Court justices, and they often come to very different conclusions on cases.  If they are all experts, how can they be so far apart in their conclusions?

The last thing I’ll point out for now is that even if Sotomayor’s outrageous claims had been correct, that wasn’t the question in front of the court.  The question is whether the executive branch can unilaterally impose vaccine mandates.  So even if there were 100,000 kids in serious condition because of COVID, it doesn’t make the mandates any less unconstitutional.

But Sotomayor’s understanding of the Constitution as a Supreme Court justice isn’t one of her strong points.

The Term Unvaccinated

I have been using the term “unvaccinated” to refer to people who haven’t gotten the COVID shots.  There is some question on whether the COVID shots should even be called vaccines, as they are more like gene therapy.  But that isn’t the topic for this section.

My teenage daughter told me that the term unvaccinated isn’t accurate.  It should be “not vaccinated”.  It’s not like someone is vaccinated and then somehow reverses the process and then becomes unvaccinated.  As my daughter said, you can’t suck the vaccine out of you once it has already happened.  It isn’t like getting dressed and then undressed.

Bob Saget, RIP

Actor and comedian Bob Saget passed away while on tour.  He was 65 years old.

As a kid, I watched Full House, where Saget played the nerdy father.  I remember the first time I saw him on television doing stand-up comedy.  He was telling raunchy jokes and dropping f-bombs.  It was a bit jarring.  We tend to think of people as the characters that they portrayed on television.  I didn’t see how Danny Tanner could have such a filthy mouth.

Saget said in December that he had received the booster shot for COVID.  Of course, earlier in the year, he tweeted, “I get vaccinated five to six times a day and I feel great!!”

So you don’t always know when he was joking around.  But it does in fact look like he got his booster shot just less than a month before his passing.  We have no idea if his death is at all related to the vaccine, but that is just the point.  We will probably never know because it will never be investigated.

Novak Djokovic Exposes Australia

Djokovic is one of the best tennis players of all time.  He is trying to set the record for the most number of Grand Slam titles.  There is currently a three-way tie between Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and Roger Federer with 20 each.

Djokovic went to Australia just over a week before the Australian Open was to start.  He thought he had his paperwork in order, including a medical exemption for the COVID vaccine because he recently tested positive for COVID.  Like many top athletes, Djokovic is very careful with what he puts in his body.

Djokovic got to experience Australian hospitality by enjoying a stay at one of their concentration camps.  The tyrants in Australia didn’t like the fact that Djokovic was not an obedient citizen of the world without his vaccine passport.

After spending the weekend at the Australian Concentration Camp Resort, a judge ruled in his favor on Monday and reinstated his visa.  However, it is not clear that this saga is over, as Australian officials are still threatening to deport him.

Once Djokovic leaves there, regardless of whether he is able to play tennis, I hope that he releases a statement blasting the Australian tyrants.  He should say that he is never again setting foot on that soil as long as it is run by third-world dictators.

I have never been much of a Djokovic fan (unlike Aaron Rodgers, who is also not COVID vaccinated).  Djokovic can be a bit of a hot head at times, and he doesn’t always come across as likable.  At the same time, I have seen him show much grace over the years too.

In this situation, he is an ally.  At the very least, he has helped to display the tyrannical idiocy that is happening in Australia right now.

Meanwhile, I lost some respect for Rafael Nadal, who also seeks the record for most Grand Slam titles.  He has been a shill for the vaccine.  At first, he was not sympathetic towards Djokovic’s plight.  Nadal thinks you should just trust the experts and get your shots.  After the court ruled in Djokovic’s favor on Monday, Nadal softened his stance a bit and acknowledged that he should have a right to participate in the tournament.

Vaccine Mandates

While it is getting some attention (but not enough), the biggest story by far – domestically speaking – is the vaccine mandates and how the U.S. Supreme Court will come down.

This could potentially impact millions of people’s lives directly.  I’m sure some have and will be coerced into getting the shots in order to have a job.  But that isn’t the case for many.  The Biden administration is saying that you are better off not vaccinated and not working and not supporting your family than being not vaccinated and working.  Because for anyone who refuses to be coerced into getting jabbed, this is ultimately the choice.

It is a bit crazy that this is one of the most important stories when the CDC director already admitted that the vaccines don’t stop transmission.  And now she is also admitting that over 75% of the deaths recorded as COVID were people who had at least 4 co-morbidities.

But that’s what the Brandon administration likes to do.  They like to lie, cause chaos, and then double-down for some more.

The narrative is falling fast, but not fast enough for me.
