A recent exchange with someone on another blog left me with another data point to support my unoriginal assertion that those who are anti vax / anti mandate / anti everything that isn't a cheeto faced shit gibbon are getting their news from sources that don't just manipulate facts, but ignore them altogether. I've decided to take a stroll through one of these outlets and blow some shit up, so you don't have to.
In this instance, I was encouraged to read a story on Conservative-daily's website. This particular bit of news was how a leaked Department of Defense document stated that hospitalizations doubled after the vaccine was introduced. Scary, except for it being bullshit. First, DOD doesn't track that shit, because they're the DOD and not the CDC or NIH. Second, the supposedly leaked doc was nowhere to be found on the site to validate the story. My theory is said document only exists in the minds of those who publish the site. What I discovered to be a recurring theme was the use of this self-admitted inexperienced and non-expert attorney as an expert mouthpiece to give various claims more weight. This dude is all over the sight and I can't figure out why.
The lead story today is a standard dog whistle topic - the alleged migrant caravan heading for the US border. Apparently, there's a leader of that caravan and he's 'declared war' on something. For the record, this is the same caravan on which the dumb right's been sounding alarm bells about since cheeto face took office. Either that caravan doesn't exist of it's the slowest fucking thing ever. And in case one caravan doesn't sufficiently scare you, there's a story about a caravan of migrants from Africa now. Two fucking caravans heading our way. Yeah, sure there are.
Another awesome story covers how the left is casting aspersions and calling into question the outcome of the election audit in Arizona, performed by the brilliant folks of Cyberninjas. Not they're fucking not, because the audit found that not only did Biden win there, but by a larger margin than previously reported.
Of course, there's a story about how Mark Milley committed treason by having the same conversations with the Chinese that every damned one of his predecessors had.
Finally, there are a few stories near and dear to my heart, relating to guns. First is how Dems are trying to push Biden's ATF nominee through, despite objections from Republicans. Only problem with said story is the president withdrew that gun grabber from consideration several weeks ago.
The best story on there is the one about the Biden administration banning imports of Russian ammunition and how horrible it is. First, it's not a complete ban, rather a halt on granting new licenses to import. Existing licenses will be left alone, preventing an interruption in supply. Second, the REAL conservative position on the subject would be to absolutely make it more difficult to buy ammo from our enemy, likely through higher tariffs, and engage with domestic suppliers to find out why they can't be competitive.
I may have signed up to comment on that story...completely by accident, of course.
Oh wait, this thing is like herpes...it keeps on giving. The absolute best story on there is about how the FDA is going to force vaccinations and use blow darts to carry them out. Until I hit that story, there was a part of me that wanted to give the ignorant some benefit of the doubt. But damn, you have to be a bit of a moron to buy that one. Blow darts!!!
