Daily Miscellany

Thoughts and flashes of brilliance that enter my head from nowhere.

Enjoy.  Or abhor, depending on the effect of my "wisdom".

Navarro Confirms Argument With Fauci Over Hydroxychloroquine

The really odd thing about this is Fauci's insistence that success with hydroxychloroquine was "anecdotal".

Yes ten thousand bureaucrats were not hired to test eight million people over the course of ten years as the gubmint tends to do things.

But like bureaucrats, Fauci sticks to the "rules" of the elite and pooh-poohs our common sense.

This little snafu, reported widely via various venues, is no big deal.  Opinions vary in cases like this but again, we see midget Fauci telling us how stupid we are to believe this one hundred year old drug can actually cure this virus that Fauci has awaited all his life to cure us from.

White House trade adviser Peter Navarro Monday confirmed reports of a heated argument between himself and Dr. Anthony Fauci over the weekend concerning the use of hydroxychloroquine while continuing to push for the use of the drug in the fight against COVID-19.

"If we didn't have disagreement or debate in the Trump administration, this administration would not be as strong as it is," Navarro told CNN's "New Day" host John Berman. He also confirmed the argument in a separate Fox News interview.

Biden hosts potential VP pick Gretchen Whitmer on podcast

Heh.

This woman has done a horrible job as leader of her state. She is known for her hatred of ICE and hinted she would abolish the agency should she become Governor.

Michigan's Whitmer says lack of national strategy has created ...Former Vice President Joe Biden brought Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) onto his newly launched podcast on Monday, a move that could stoke speculation he’s considering her as a potential running mate.

“Gov. Whitmer is an outstanding governor. She is one of the most talented people in the country in my view,” Biden said while introducing her on the podcast. “She also is a supporter. She was also a co-chair of my campaign. She’s a good friend, but she has been laser focused, laser focused on delivering for her state.”

Body of Kennedy Family Member Found in Chesapeake Bay

The Kennedys just are not very smart people, that's all there is to it.

The Chesapeake Bay, which I grew up around, is very rocky, filled with waves that will capsize a canoe with little effort.

As of his writing they have found the body of Kaeve Kennedy McKean and are still looking for her 8-year old son.

They went out on a canoe to retrieve a ball?  They couldn't afford a new one?

Maeve Kennedy Townsend McKean and her 8-year-old son drifted into the bay after paddling out in a canoe to retrieve a ball. Her body was recovered on Monday evening.

The body of one of two Kennedy family members who went missing last week when their canoe capsized in the Chesapeake Bay was recovered on Monday, the authorities said.

The Maryland Natural Resources Police said on Monday night that it had found the body of Maeve Kennedy Townsend McKean, 40, a granddaughter of Robert F. Kennedy. It said the search would continue for her son Gideon McKean, 8.

Editorial....What on earth is wrong with Brett Crozier?


US navy captain fired for voicing virus concern tests positive ...


Note**right after this writing the  acting  secretary of the navy has resigned.

He was captain of a nuclear submarine stationed in Guam.  There are a lot of holes in this story but it sure made media attention.  Bear with me.  I read everything I could about this story and my mind is filled with naval bureaucracy.

I do know that President Trump agreed with the termination of Crozier for stupid actions he took due to having quite a few men on board afflicted with Covid-19.

It's not clear how these guys got this viral infection but it would seem that Crozier allowed his men to go on the town in Guam.  Evidently when he realized this he contacted the naval command with what he was dealing with.

Understand that Crozier's immediate superior, the head of all the naval nuclear submarines, was on board with Crozier but he did not consult him.

Instead, Crozier contacted the assistant to the commander of the navy.  He was told to isolate those affected and this is what set off the firestorm.

Crozier sat down and wrote a five page letter to his superiors, excluding the naval head of the submarine group who, perhaps, he didn't like.  Still, he should have went to the next in command, not write tomes about the problem on board his ship, along with 20 CC's!

In his letter Crozier said that isolation on submarines is too restrictive, the tiny rooms too small for comfort and contact with ship mates.  He wasn't going to do that he put in the letter and he demanded help from somewhere.

At some point the navy did start removing men from the submarine, 1000 one day, 2000 the next.  It's not clear why the navy chose to do this instead of sticking to the order that the afflicted be quarantined.  There are also whispers as to why Crozier allowed his men to go cavorting in Guam with Covid-19 running rampant across the planet.

Those CCs Crozier sent were no doubt mean to allow it to be leaked to the press.  At this point all the world knows that America has a nuclear sub stuck in Guam with sick men on board.

Seriously?  A hand-written letter carbon-copying everyone on he planet, I think I got one outside in my mailbox?  Causing danger to the men on board what with the world knowing they are stuck and helpless.

Yeah he should have been fired.  I am no expert on the navy, for sure. But nothing about how this was handled appears to follow any proper military procedure.

Yes I know the men on the sub cheered Crozier but that just kind of shows how dumb they are.

I thank all the people who serve in America's military for their service.

All but Crozier,

I'm glad he's gone.
