The Closing Argument

An Evaluation of the Performance of the CDC and Dr. Anthony Fauci in their handling of the Covid-19 Pandemic.

The CDC has just admitted that it made some mistakes in its handling of the Covid-19 Pandemic. At the same time, Dr. Anthony Fauci has announced that he will be leaving the Center for Disease Control (CDC) in December. It is certainly appropriate that we now evaluate their performances.  Dr. Fauci and the CDC have been wrong on several important public health matters during the pandemic—those mistakes have devastated the national economy and have caused at least $2 – 3 Trillion in damages. The long shut-down of small businesses in America ruined many businesses, and it is now clear that the long shutdowns were not necessary. The closing of schools for long times was not warranted. Keeping little children out of school was a mistake. The vaccines do not prevent the spread of Covid-19; neither do they prevent one from getting Covid-19. There are some bad effects from the vaccines, and the natural immunity received by those who contracted Covid-19 is a superior protection than that of the vaccines. –Two-and-a-half years after the CDC began to give directions of how to deal with Covid-19, they have proven themselves most unreliable. And, as for Dr. Fauci—we all know now that he is NOT science, but he is quite arrogant. He certainly should not win a Nobel Prize for either medicine or science. Dr. Fauci knew about and instigated the US’s funding of gain of function research in the Wuhan lab. Dr. Fauci had a conflict of interest with regard to investigation of the origins of Covid-19; he tried to hide his own involvement with the US-backed research that was taking place in the Wuhan lab.

Dr. Fauci and the Government tried to squelch and even punish some speech that challenged their views. Americans suffered and America was harmed by this whole experience. It is time for Dr. Fauci and the CDC to be exposed.  We cannot afford this type of thing to ever happen again.

80-Year-Old Grandma kicked out of YMCA — This type of incident will continue to occur because of the Supreme Court decision in Bostock v. Clayton County (2020).

One of the dilemmas caused by the desire to give respect to homosexual and transgender individual was illustrated when an 80-year-old woman in Washington State confronted a transgender employee in a YMCA who was looking at young girls getting out of their bathing suits. The transgender employee looked like a man, so Grandma told the man to get out.  But it was ultimately Grandma who was ousted from the YMCA because she violated the new norms where an individual’s sex is determined by a person’s subjective feelings and not by his biological body.

Clayton County may change that. The wording of the opinion does seem to support the Washington State YMCA’s position. It will probably take another case going to the Supreme Court to decide whether the Bostock case requires the result dictated by the YMCA. Hopefully, the Supreme Court will somehow find that it’s okay for the government to continue to have separate restrooms for men and women.

The Primary Defeat of Liz Cheney and an Update on the August 8th Raid on the Trump Home.

Rep. Liz Cheney was soundly repudiated by the Wyoming Republicans in the Primary election on August 8, 2022. Although Liz Cheney had voted for Trump initiatives over 90% of the time during his presidency, Cheney turned against Trump when his challenging of the 2020 election results was too strong for her liking. Cheney joined with the Democrats in claiming that Trump lied and that Trump’s efforts to have Congress investigate the election results in some states was an attempt to undermine American democracy. Cheney’s has become the Democrat’s pawn in leading the January 6th Committee, who’s overt goal is to get Trump convicted of some crime. But over 95 % of the other Republicans in the House believe that Trump neither wanted nor encouraged the January 6th riots, which actually undermined his efforts on January 6th to have Congress delay certifying election results until it could investigate election irregularities in four states. Consequently, Cheney’s obsession with attacking Trump led her to abandon the voters who put her in office two years ago. Republicans soundly rejected and repudiated Cheney on August 8th by overwhelmingly voting for Cheney’s opponent, Harriet Hageman and decisively rejecting Cheney by a 68% – 30% vote.

Raid on Trump’s Home. On August 18th, following a hearing before Florida Judge Bruce Reinhart, attempts to make public the affidavit submitted to justify the search warrant on the Trump home, Judge Reinhart ruled that parts of the affidavit could be released, subject to various redactions to protect witnesses and secret government information. The Government has a week to present proposed redactions to Judge Reinhart. Insufficient information was released to show whether or not the warrant was justified.  Consequently, it continues to appear that the procuring of the warrant was a partisan political effort to punish President Biden’s political opponent. Further, the warrant, which was a general warrant, also appears to be a direct violation of the Fourth Amendment which prohibits warrants unless they “particularly” describe the things to be seized.

The FBI Raid on the Trump Compound at Mar-A-Lago, Florida – Has the United States Become a Banana Republic Under President Biden?

The FBI raid on the Trump home in search of documents is an appalling, unprecedented act by the Administration of one President, attempting to find evidence of a crime so that it can try to imprison its opposition, a former President who is likely to again run against the current occupant of the White House.

This has every appearance of Biden’s politicizing the Justice Department in order to attempt to silence, and if possible imprison, his opposition. Never before has such a bold and excessive action ever been taken in America.  We don’t yet know what specific pretext the Justice Department has given for this drastic measure. But if the raid does not uncover something really bad and atrocious done by Trump, then this will lead to either the resignation or impeachment of Attorney General Garland and FBI Director Wray.

The State of the Supreme Court in 2022

After the Supreme Court issued the last of its annual rulings in late June 2022, we are now in a position to evaluate how the Court is doing. Frankly, the Court has never been better during the last 60 years. A solid majority of the Supreme Court holds a conservative view about the role of the Court to exercise restraint in taking cases, in resolving issues, and in recognizing the rights of the states (federalism). The three Justices appointed by President Trump have had an important, positive effect in restoring a majority of the Court to a proper judicial view of how the courts, including the Supreme Court, should function in a democratic republic.
