Sports To The Right, Part Six: If you believe that, Mr. Denninger, why does Fauci still live?

(Neither of these are 100% due to sports, but both have many facets within sports in them.)

I had been meaning to write this post for several days after Karl Denninger posted this after Dr. Fauci 5th Amendment'ed his way through a Congressional hearing.

Anyone who paid attention knows Anthony Fauci tried to save this nation from exactly what will now kill it.  The sceptre of individual freedom to do whatever one wishes, even in the face of a threat to the public health.

In fact, our supposed Cabinet member in charge of health has openly now said that individual freedom trumps the public health.  Robert Kennedy Jr. did that on CNN last week.

Well, boy:  FUCK FREEDOM.  OK?

That same freedom is what got your dad and his brother killed.  One as President, and the other one would've been eight years later!

That same freedom is what got 15-20 million people killed due to COVID -- a number far more than you or yours will ever choose to admit, because of the fact that you believe the vaccines did it.

And since you won't admit to that number, let me show my work.

CDC studies in 2023 showed that basically everybody had gotten the disease by then.  Even at a 1.5% death rate THEN, that would be over 5 million, or a number about three times the amount the American public was given.

There are two reasons I give numbers far greater than that.  The first is the Bureau of Labor Statistics underreporting the American population which is not in institutions or prisons or the like.

The second goes from the facts of US life expectancy at the time:

2019:  The life expectancy in total was 78.9 years, and going up.  Women were well over 80.

2020:  The general life expectancy went from that 78.9 to 77 in one year...

2021:  And from that 77 to 76.4, a nearly 3% drop in total, by the end of 2021.  This would represent a death rate of over 10 million THEN -- unless everybody had COVID by the end of 2021, not 2023, you can add several million to that number for 2023, and several more million to now.

And would you not know it?  In the five years since, the life expectancy number has recovered.  You'd think, with all the right-wing bleating about vaccines, that number should've stayed at the 2021 number, if not further shrank.

You're lying, Kennedy.  And so are the Republicans in the Senate who grilled Fauci and believe he orchestrated a mass-death scenario for America and the world through COVID.

Some questions:

If the US government had any real interest in seeing millions dead as you charge, why would I not be among that number for both economic and public-safety reasons?

If you believe what you believe about Fauci's role, why does he still live?  Why was he not executed by the US military at that point?

And about 80 million of the rest of us, who you've set a clock seeing us all dead because of what you believe the vaccines will do to us?  (Never mind that it's Long COVID, and in a case that the entire concept of organized sport in this country basically now becomes a crap shoot that you can die due to heart complications no matter how fit you are, in far larger numbers than what was before COVID.)

All for your freedom.

FUCK FREEDOM.

You want to see what "freedom" gets you?

You remember July and August?  When the country was on an ever-increasing path of violence -- and not just the BLM protests, but wilding riots of teenagers in Manhattan?

When MLB games were being boycotted because of the riots?  That the players took the field, laid their jerseys down, and left for a couple days?

I can't give you the question I want to (I've already had one visit from the Secret Service during the subhuman cretin's second term...), but if we put COVID out there to stop Trump...  Figure it out, liars.

We lose this country without Fauci's work.

But I think that's what you, Karl Denninger, and those who support you wanted.  As well as the MAGA Movement.

You saw the opportunity to slay 50 million Americans you wanted dead as defective or as undesirable, and you're too pussy to fire a shot for your supposed Second Amendment rights.

And COVID has won.  The only reason we haven't already lost 50 million is because of the work we were able to do in that first year.

Some of us remember how little people really cared.  The 2020 MLB nor NFL seasons should've been completed -- but, at that point, we probably do lose the nation.

Sports To The Right, Part Five: If you want exclusion and proper conduct, you're going to have to shoot your way there.

Another response to Karl Denninger.  His latest such screed on the subject of companies raising prices to exclude the "hominids like apes" (translated:  Blacks) is here, in part.  (To get the whole thing, you'd have to subscribe to the White Supremacist Libertarian.)

Let me save Mr. Denninger some time.  You're going to have to shoot them, then shoot us, then shoot the government of places like California, etc.

And if you'd like me to list the reasons (and this almost certainly is NOT an all-inclusive list):

1) There is zero benefit for them to act any degree of reasonably otherwise.

Give them money to shut them up, they want more.

Call the police, best case is they get three hots and a cot, significant improvement on their present circumstance.

I've been on the streets 9 1/2 years in San Francisco -- and, admittedly, this was before it got REALLY BAD in the last 10-15 years.  I could tell you stories from what I call the "Drugstore Gauntlet" to the guy who literally walked around town in a hospital gown on which he wrote "HITLER" on the back and wrote screeds of his wife Pia and a whole lot of other bullshit.

This country is going to have to learn a hard truth:  There are any number of people in this country with absolutely nothing left to lose -- probably many of them in the demographic Denninger speaks of.

It's one of the reasons that, once the court determined that the father was responsible to the tune of 15 years for providing the weapon in that one school shooting, he needed to be taken out back and shot.

If you want to shun them, you will have to remove them -- permanently, one way or the other.

2) Another reason you have to deal with them is a concept you don't want to admit to, Mr. Denninger, but that you believe there are too many of the defective, unworthy, (you'd believe unholy if you believed in a God, which you do not), etc.

That will offshoot into another post I have today to something you said about Dr. Fauci.

But the fact is that you are not getting the country you want without removing those you don't from this Earth.  Especially if you claim the "personal agency" central to most Libertarians -- one of the largest reasons that freedom and liberty are factually Satanic.

3) Remember:  Many of these people believe they will be immortalized in death, Tupac-style.  And many of these people actually learn violence on the inside.

Take this Riker's Island Style:  There is no rehabilitation in jail.  And, in fact, on the inside, you learn that violence IS the only law.

And then, if and when you get out, you learn why that's the case -- because that's the case on the outside as well.

I could go on, Mr. Denninger, if you like.  But the fact IS that many of these businesses ARE imposing the tax to keep the riff-raff out -- and, yet, at best, they lurk right outside the property line.

And many of them, as I said, have nothing to lose whatsoever.

Short of shooting them, what are you going to do?  Hell, about 6-8 months ago, I bodychecked one of those motherfuckers to the ground at a local drugstore.  Yeah, he vented the threats -- but was not around when I (armed with a full bottle of creme sherry to smash over his head if he tried!) came out of the store.

And a lot of people say to shut down welfare.  You do that, you might as well shoot them pre-emptively.  Because, to many extents, you've been paying for peace now since the rise of the Bonus Army and the creation of Social Security.

There's a reason that the entitlement program is called Social Security...

Sports To The Right, Part Four: Enemies of Baseball

(No, this was not originally scheduled.)

I hope you all have something to do next year, around the first of April and onward.

Because, after last night, there is now effectively zero chance (outside of an owner- or Trump-enforced season) that there will be any professional baseball of the regular stripe.

The fact that the Dodgers are getting two-time defending American League Cy Young award winner Tarik Skubal is bad enough.  What makes it even worse (and makes me wonder if the upcoming lockout is going to be just one season) is that they gave effectively nothing in return.

And that MLB is going to stand for this is indicative of some very ugly political realities...

MLB is MAGA.  There's a very real chance they've gotten through to the Dodger ownership and they're MAGA too -- and that now the brass of Major League Baseball is rigging a dynasty to kill the game as you knew it.

The Dodgers are now enemies of baseball.

So are Rob Manfred and the MLB leadership.

MAGA League Baseball wants to bleach itself, wherever possible.  MAGA League Baseball wants rid of LGBTQ support.  MAGA League Baseball wants there to be one elite team or a small group of elite teams -- which will create the same illusion of competition the NBA fails to purport.

And the Dodgers are now in full economic and political lockstep.

I do genuinely wonder how many people, last night and today, have finally given up on the National Pastime of Delusion.
