The Diagnosis is In, and Joe’s Not Going to Get Well

Many moons ago, while conservative pundits were blaming Sleepy Joe’s odd behavior on his brain aneurysm surgeries, I said, “No.” All we can clearly see is a narcissistic sociopath with a mixed pattern dementia in the early stages. P...

COVID-19 Doesn't Live Here Anymore

Once upon a time, there was a coronavirus.  Actually, there were several coronaviruses.  The CDC lists 229E, NL63, OC43, and HKU1.  It goes on to note that they are generally mild respiratory viruses that rarely cause se...

Jumping To Conclusions About Mitch McConnell

Dianne Feinstein, John Fetterman, Joe Biden, and Mitch McConnell all have one thing in common. Lots of people are calling for their retirement due to “mental disability.” Senators Feinstein and Fetterman have obvious mental problems that ...

Rand Paul’s NIAID Bill is Much Too Timid

Senator Rand Paul has introduced a bill to supposedly rein in the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). It is, unfortunately, little more than rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. It would split NIAID into three, with ...

It’s Time To Try A Different Approach To America’s Drug Problem

As deaths from illegal drugs rise, many people recommend more stringent law enforcement. The basic thrust of this argument is simple. In the last few years, we have seen overdose deaths rise from sixty-odd thousand to over a hundred thousand per year...

The Differential Diagnosis On Damar Hamlin’s Broken Heart

Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin makes a tackle, gets up, and immediately falls down. Every commentator immediately declares that Hamlin’s medical emergency is due to “commotio cordis.” Or so it seems. Any discussion of the possibi...

Biden’s Nonsensical Executive Order

The insanity of the Left following SCOTUS’s Dobbs decision would be hilarious if it weren’t so dangerous. We’ve seen people assaulted and private property damaged in the name of protest. These temper tantrums have extended to the Wh...

What Do We Know About COVID So Far?

With all the thousands of studies bombarding the medical community, it’s helpful to set our microscope aside and look at the bigger picture. It’s virtually certain that the virus was engineered in Wuhan with financial and technical assist...

Spitballing Putin’s Mystery Ailment

After the fourth email of Putin’s hand flapping crossed my desk, I gave in and started my research. Those dozens of dust-binned claims of Putin being on death’s door might even have some credibility. But what do all of those mean? And why...

The Medical Establishment’s Willful Blindness About Vaccines and Children

In my email on March 19, a Medscape “Perspective” post by William G. Wilkoff, MD titled “Waiting for the Under-5 COVID-19 Vaccine“ caught my attention. He opens by noting that “Pfizer and BioNTech announced that they wer...

Leftist Supreme Court Justices Abandoned The Law And Made Up Facts

In Supreme Court arguments on the OSHA COVID Vaccination Mandate case, the “Wise Latina” revealed at least Sixth Degree Stupidity for all to see. One should not casually suggest that a graduate of law school who has ascended through the r...

When Does COVID Stop Being COVID?

COVID-19 burst on the scene early in 2020 and rapidly became the biggest story of the year. We saw pictures of freezer trucks being used as morgues and medical staff in hazmat suits. The 2011 movie Contagion hung over every head like the Sword of Dam...

Multiple Logical Fallacies Elevate COVID Vaccines Over COVID Treatments

Monday morning, as I did my morning bicycle ride (I live in a safe neighborhood), I listened to Breitbart News host Alex Marlowe interview John Nolte, another Breitbart personality about COVID vaccination hesitancy. By the end of the interview, they...

When It Comes To COVID, Travel Bans Should Be Banned

Every now and then an obvious comparison yields teachable moments. The current occupant of the Oval Office has declared that travel to the US from several nations in southern Africa is not OK. After all, the drive-by media first got hysterical about ...

The NIH goes over the top

Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health, was interviewed on National Public Radio.  He bemoaned the "inability" of the NIH to convince us to get a shot that contains the primary toxic element (the s...

Why Do Doctors Go Along with COVID Panic Porn and CDC Prescriptions?

I recently had a conversation with a reasonably well-informed writer who simply missed the real reasons why most practicing physicians go along with the Fauci Fraud.  As a public service, I will attempt to fill in a few gaps.  But...

Let me ’Splain’ It for You

Let’s get one thing clear, right from the front. I’m not the big expert. That’s because there’s waaaay too much information for any one person to understand. I’m just the “splainer,” since I’m the nut w...

Floundering Fauci Demands Simple Answers to Complex Problems

Early twentieth-century satirist H.L. Mencken quipped, "For every complex problem, there is a solution that is simple, neat, and wrong."  The ongoing COVID-19 disaster illustrates the truth of Mencken's Meta-Law. We have a ...

The 'Centers for Disease Control' is No Such Thing

You read that right.  That's the name on the sign in front of the building.  It's the advertising when one of its higher level bureaucrats testifies before Congress.  And it's the bludgeon used to corral all ...

Anthony Fauci: Guilty Bureaucrat Extraordinaire

The Law of the Bureaucrat is simple: “The Bureaucrat is the smartest person in the room.” This Law has a huge impact on everyday life and, if fully understood, will make it clear that we must clean out all the Federal bureaucracies. Fu...

The New York Times' Bone-Headed Guidelines on COVID 'Mitigation'

I get the New York Times' daily free newsletter in my email.  You can save your rotten tomatoes.  I refuse to pay for anything they print.  But sometimes it's useful to stay in contact with the other side. The...

The COVID Vaccine: The Facts

There are a host of wild-eyed conspiracy theories about how Anthony Fauci paid the CCP to engineer the COVID-19 virus at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. After they released it, his buddies in the pharmaceutical industry were standing at the ready to...

Understanding How 'Critical Events' Lead to People Getting Killed by Police

Most people would consider the death of George Floyd or Daunte Wright to be a critical incident.  They would make that rash assumption because they are "critical" to our political environment.  Many pundits and businesse...

Enough Is Enough: Time to Finally Follow the Science on Masks

Recently I was "fact checked" by PolitiFact for a demo I did showing that masks don't stop the spread of aerosols (longer one here, shorter one here).  The reporter asked for my comments and then said what his narrative requir...

If One Mask Doesn’t Work, Try Two, or Three, or Four…

Once upon a time, my primary specialty of anesthesiology was the most scientific of all the medical specialties that actually touch patients. Then I saw that Dr. Scott Segal, chair of Anesthesiology at Wake Forest Baptist Health in Winston-Salem, Nor...

What Should Be Done with Section 230?

With all the screaming about "Big Tech," "The Masters of the Universe," "Silicon Valley," and so on, it's time to sort out the signal from the noise.  President Trump wants to get rid of Google's, Faceb...

What good do the masks do, really?

We are seeing jurisdictions everywhere imposing mask bans at a rate that approaches the number of bars being threatened with liquor license revocation for failing to enforce social distancing.  If that sentence seems complicated, then you a...

When You're a Carpenter, Everything Looks Like Wood

We are constantly bombarded with the "fact" that the mortality rate from the Wuhan flu is 3%. It's surprising that we aren't being told a higher number, because in Hubei Province, China, there have been 59,114 cases with 3,111 ...

Will Any Single Intervention Eliminate Mass Shootings?

With every mass shooting, after the obligatory "Orange Man Bad" screams, we hear that some particular change in the law would somehow be the perfect answer. After El Paso, we are told that that "Universal Background Checks" is the...

Trump Derangement Syndrome: It's Not in the DSM but Should Be

I don't believe that Donald Trump Jr is trying to be a psychiatrist, but it appears that he has accurately diagnosed a serious real mental illness on the Left. The Daily Caller published a few of Junior's latest comments. The Democrats and th...

The Other Opiate Problem

I used to love "60 Minutes." As a teenager, it was a favorite program in our house on Sunday evenings. The show featured all sorts of interesting people and places, with in-depth explorations that stimulated the imagination. Oh, how times h...
