Hell, I can't blame him for that. Like when Trump was photographed sitting in the cab of an OTR truck smiling and looking like he was having fun. I woulda been, why couldn't he?

Maher Lights up Biden, Dems on COVID Restrictions: 'How Much Wrong Do You Get to Be?'



Bill Maher has been on fire lately in terms of his critique of COVID restrictions and the liberal establishment.

Two weeks ago, he had on Bari Weiss, who excoriated the restrictions and how much they had hurt kids — she called it a “catastrophic moral crime.” Last week, Maher himself tore into the left and how they had “gone mental” with their crazy policies and rules.

Maher said Americans were just tired of Democratic rules — even before COVID came along.

Democrats have become a parody of themselves. Just making rules to make rules because it makes you feel like you’re a better person. Making sure that everything bad never happens again, which you can never fully do, it just makes everybody else’s life a drag….Democrats no longer possess the common sense to understand that not every problem in the world can be fixed with a regulation.

This week, he went to town on the COVID restrictions.

https://tinyurl.com/bp99euv3

He noted how a growing number of countries around the world were returning to “something more like normal,” and that it was time that we did, too, starting with acknowledging that “what we’re doing to kids is unnecessary and horrible, and I don’t even like kids.”

He noted the survivability rate of kids with COVID and said that despite that, we have them “mask up like bandits.”

“Unfortunately the thing that’s getting stolen is their education, their sanity, and their social skills.”

We’re seeing more and more of the kids standing up for their own freedoms, protesting masking and other restrictions in their schools.

Maher also pointed out the meta-analysis study this past week from Johns Hopkins, which noted that “the lockdowns we all suffered through had little impact in reducing COVID deaths.” The study from the researchers concluded that lockdowns were bad public policy and caused devastating harm. Meanwhile, the liberal media has largely ignored the study. “That’s kind of a big one to get wrong,” Maher noted.

Maher pointed out how Joe Biden continued to be wrong, even saying that “you’re not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations.” “Well, I already knew that was wrong then,” he said. “And now we all do.”

Maher even went to the third rail and brought up the lab leak. “The former director of the CDC, Robert Redfield, believes COVID originated in a lab and now our intelligence agencies agree it might have. But, for months on social media, it was banned to even discuss it.”

He then tore into them, saying they’ve been wrong. “Wrong a lot. Wrong about HIV, wrong about lockdowns, wrong about kids, wrong about how you couldn’t get it if you were vaccinated. Remember washing our packages? And there’s never been research showing that outdoor transmission is likely or common. Yet, LA County says we’re still supposed to mask up for big outdoor events, like we’ll be at the Super Bowl.”

He then showed a picture of Gov. Gavin Newsom, San Francisco Mayor London Breed, and Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti all without masks on at the NFC Championship Game; meanwhile, kids are saddled with them for hours a day in classrooms in California. How wrong do they have to be? How much do they have to shove their “rules for thee but not for me” in our faces?

“It’s all theater,” Maher declared. “Watching athletes mix it up on the court and then mask on the sideline. Not being able to touch a menu but watching them touch my food. Maskless at dinner while sitting, but not standing. And by the way, if Applebees really cared about our health, they would make us cover our mouths after the food arrived,” he joked.

“I’m just asking how much wrong do you get to be while still holding the default setting for people who represent – ‘the science?’”

Now, that’s right on the money. And yes, we’ve been saying these things for a long time, and others should have said them before this. But we need a flood to change things, and he’s helping increase that flood. He’s moving more people — including some liberals — toward that truth. More of this, please, from more quarters.

You cannot have a pandemic state of emergency and also host a packed stadium for the Super Bowl.

My state government is a joke. They are having a hard time letting go of tyranny and way too many people are just fine with it.

DOC, Maher is 98.2% correct. I actually read the working paper of the meta analysis. Out of roughly a data set of 1800 studies they used 24. They cherry picked the reports that would validate a specific conclusion. I would say, roughly they didn't take into account 5 to 7 variables that would be needed to draw any conclusion. If you like I can send you a link to the working paper. I will say right up front it is a long, brutal read. But if I am going to say it isn't accurate, I felt it essential I read the paper.

I’ll have to give him a shot. His show has been on for… 20+ years?

Be nice to go back to season and episode 1 and see how accurate he was with his predictions.

Hated him then. Wonder how much I might appreciate him now?

And the folks that want the police "defunded" (blm) are supposed to be helping black people, right? Supposed to stand for black lives matter, right?

Well black lives be damned because defunding the police has caused MORE black people to die, especially in these inner cities like Minneapolis and Chicago.

He's the one guy in the class you loved to hate. The "teacher's pet", the smarmy guy with his hand up first to answer a question, the kid always picked last to be on a kickball team and the kid that wants to trade his carrot sticks for a pudding cup. That said, think of him not so much in the right and wrong but in the I'm not afraid to say what most are thinking column. Make no bones about it, he's a far left leaning wanna be Libertarian but can't let go of the donkey ears because he likes going to all those swell parties. His current show is much like his older shows...monologue...bring out the panel (which is for the most part a 5 against 1), toss the red meat on the table and talk about the gristle with your mouth open chewing followed with a little ditty of "I told ya so" at the end.

He is a thinking person and I've used him as the polar opposite of Joe Rogan. Comedians, Brash, Thought out commentary on Life and willing to say what needs to be said. My personal favorite shows are when he had Ted Nugent and tried to talk him out of his position on the 2nd Amendment (which he eloquently schooled them!) and Ann Coulter when the primaries were in full swing and she had the fortitude and balls to say out loud that Donald Trump was going to not only win the party but be the President. The looks on their faces as they made fun of her with delight is priceless. She made millions on book sales off of those same looks so I don't ever feel bad for her.

I still watch his show, but more so for the beginning and the end nowadays. The panel part is blase, contrived and predictable. He's just a good comedian and his stance is like a modern day Johnny Carson delivering it. I find it humorous that the right leaning websites trot him out when its convenient for their sake of an argument while he's had no epiphany or life changing moment correction.

Not to mention the destruction of their communities. Much was so needed, the corner store that had almost everything in a pinch, the closest drug store that wasn't a major chain that compounded their medicines, the gas station and the barber shops for their service and the space to hangout and to talk with others. GONE. Most didn't have insurance and are never going to rebuild. The ones that did cashed out and moved to Ft. Lauderdale to play bocce ball. Both leaving a glaring hole that the neediest of communities have to have. Now, they spend more on gas or longer on buses to get to where they have to go to those big box chain stores. All in the name of a particular color on a spectrum that artists don't consider a color but a shade that's supposed to matter more than most. Most never look up and see the rainbows either.

Pfizer Executive Admits They and the White House Lied About Vaccine Efficacy



For the most part, COVID-19 has receded into the background as an issue for Americans. For those of us who live in sane states, we haven’t worn a mask or really thought about the virus in years. Still, that general return to normalcy has allowed a lot of bad actors to escape accountability for the things they did during the height of the pandemic.

That includes the current administration, which pushed illegal vaccine mandates under the guise of the unvaccinated being a threat to others, directly proclaiming that the vaccines stop transmission. Joe Biden infamously said that “you’re not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations” back in 2021. He also viciously attacked the unvaccinated in multiple speeches, claiming that not getting the shots was putting other people at risk.

I remember those times well because those of us telling the truth about the vaccines not stopping transmission might as well have been shouting into a void. Social media companies cracked down hard on right-leaning news sites that dared to be honest about the risks of spread and the nonsensical logic behind the mandates. We were censored, had our traffic throttled, and were called liars.

Many a “fact-check” like the following went forth to “prove” we were wrong.

Understand that even the CDC had admitted by mid-2021 that the vaccines don't stop transmission. Still, Daniel Funke, the world's worst "fact-checker," soldiered on. pic.twitter.com/xYYjcgGjZm

Well, today (October 12th, 2022) offers just a bit of vindication for those who didn’t take our beatings lying down. An executive for Pfizer has admitted in an open hearing that they never even tested their vaccine to see whether it helped prevent transmission.

— Eric Matheny 🎙 (@EricMMatheny) October 12, 2022

That admission runs counter to the claims coming from Pfizer and the Biden administration during and after the initial rollout of the vaccines. For well over a year, both entities alluded to data and studies showing that the transmission was significantly reduced after receiving the shots. It wasn’t until that lie became completely indefensible during the Omnicron wave that the goalposts began to move, with the CDC finally admitting in mid-2021 that the vaccinated were still spreading the virus at a high rate.

Now, we know that there never was any data to back up those claims. Pfizer, citing time constraints, never even tested the topic of transmission, instead focusing on whether it reduced the risk of severe illness.

In a vacuum, that would have been fine. Clearly, time was an issue, and you’d expect whether the vaccines help prevent death to be a priority. But we don’t live in a vacuum. Instead, we live in a world where these massive, government-leeching pharmaceutical companies made billions of dollars pushing their vaccines as a way to “protect others” knowing they had no data to back that up. Some might even call that fraud.

Meanwhile, the White House, desperate to push its own narrative regarding the vaccines, largely for political reasons, used those same false claims to justify mandates that never had any scientific backing. To this day, the Biden administration won’t admit that things like vaccine passports, for example, are completely worthless and unnecessarily discriminatory.

Of course, no one will pay a price for misleading the American public to bilk taxpayers out of billions of dollars. Accountability when it comes to COVID-19 would put the cult at risk, and we can’t have that.

Remember the War of the Unvaccinated? Scare tactics. Remember being told you were a denier if you opposed the shot? All those jobs lost. All those careers lost. For what? Lies.

Buck Sexton - "None of these people are embarrassed. They won’t even admit they were wrong now. The Biden regime forced a garbage vaccine on us in the most thuggish ways they could. And they’re pleased with their little trial run of medical totalitarianism."
