Joe Biden's irrelevant denial

On Wednesday, I wrote this post to talk about the Strategic National Stockpile, aka SNS. The SNS "is part of the federal medical response infrastructure and can supplement medical countermeasures needed by states, tribal nations, territories and the largest metropolitan areas during public health emergencies." I learned that the SNS "team works every day to prepare and respond to emergencies, support state and local preparedness activities, and ensure availability of critical medical assets to protect the health of Americans."

In short, the Biden administration didn't replenish the SNS in a timely fashion. That means that they failed miserably. They didn't "prepare and respond to emergencies, support state and local preparedness activities, and ensure availability of critical medical assets to protect the health of Americans." That's their mission. If they did nothing else in life, they had an affirmative responsibility to stockpile "medical assets."

Despite that, the Biden administration is making a phony argument:

White House reporters confronted President Biden about a Vanity Fair piece that alleged his administration rejected a plan to boost holiday testing from COVID-testing experts.

"We didn't reject it," Biden told New York Post reporter Steven Nelson before departing the White House for Marine One on Monday.

Whether they did or didn't is irrelevant. As I said before, this administration had an affirmative responsibility to keep the supplies in stock. In the midst of a pandemic, this administration should've been on an even higher alert. This thinking is disturbing:

Then Biden said this:
Yet Biden also made an admission about his handling of rapid tests in a call with several U.S. governors on Monday morning, saying, "It is not enough. It’s clearly not enough. If I had - we - had known, we would have gone harder, quicker, if we could have."
Biden is tap-dancing his way through a difficult spot there. He's been caught and he knows it. At minimum, his staff knows that they've been caught.

This is a big deal. Without testing, COVID might not get detected quickly. Potentially, that's a problem. Further, this administration needs new priorities. Since there's a shortage of tests, there's a need to ration them to those most at risk.

This administration gets a failing grade on COVID. We're no closer to the pandemic's end but we're suffering through lots of ineffective mandates. Joe Biden and Tony Fauci keep ignoring therapeutics, natural immunity and anti-virals. They're focused solely on vaccines. It's time to move past these idiots. It's time to start listening to actual experts.

Finally, it's time to start preparing the way for someone with actual managerial experience to be this nation's CEO/president. 4 more years of these idiots isn't sustainable.

BONUS QUESTION #1: Where has the HHS Secretary been in all this?

BONUS QUESTION #2: Who is the HHS Secretary?

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio
