"It seems to be about as accurate," confirmed Dr. Anthony Fauci while signing autographs for CNN reporters...At this point, it is prudent to recommend a coin toss as a cost-saving measure."...Read all!

The Government Hoarded 750 Million N95 Masks While Telling You To Wear One

The Government Hoarded 750 Million N95 Masks While Telling You To Wear One
  • And now that the omicron variant is in retreat, everyone gets them for free. Great timing, guys.
"Later today, the White House is expected to officially announce plans to send roughly 400 million high-quality, N95 masks to pharmacies and health centers around the country. 
...But the timing feels all wrong. 
...Wouldn't it have made more sense for the White House to order the distribution of these masks months ago, when omicron first arrived on U.S. soil and federal officials started pushing Americans to wear N95 masks instead of basic cloth face coverings?
That, in turn, raises some serious questions about the national mask stockpile itself, which media reports say currently contains 750 million masks. 
If this is how they're going to be distributed, essentially to whoever wants one, rather than on the basis of need, what is the point of having a stockpile for emergencies?...Read all.

Jordan Peterson: Why I am no longer a tenured professor at the University of Toronto | National Post
  • The appalling ideology of diversity, inclusion and equity is demolishing education and business
"...There were many reasons, including the fact that I can now teach many more people and with less interference online. 
But here’s a few more:
First, my qualified and supremely trained heterosexual white male graduate students (and I’ve had many others, by the way) face a negligible chance of being offered university research positions, despite stellar scientific dossiers. 
This is partly because of Diversity, Inclusivity and Equity mandates (my preferred acronym: DIE).
...My students are also partly unacceptable precisely because they are my students. 
I am academic persona non grata, because of my unacceptable philosophical positions. 
And this isn’t just some inconvenience. 
These facts rendered my job morally untenable. 
How can I accept prospective researchers and train them in good conscience knowing their employment prospects to be minimal?...Read all!!

Veteran newsman Ted Koppel tries to explain to journalist why liberal media bias is bad. Journalist wants to know if bias is OK as long as Trump is the target. - TheBlaze

The newsman added that he was "terribly concerned" about bias that was clearly creeping onto the front pages of newspapers like the New York Times and the Washington Post. "We're talking about organizations that I believe have, in fact, decided as organizations that Donald J. Trump is bad for the United States," he said, adding, "we have things appearing on the front page of the New York Times right now that never would have appeared 50 years ago. Analysis, commentary on the front page."

  • The GOP Had Better Wake Up
  • The 2020 election wasn’t fair, and Beltway Republicans shouldn’t be afraid to say so.
"...Because kowtowing to the Democrats’ narrative that the 2020 presidential election was free, fair, and utterly uncontroversial isn’t going to earn you any lasting friendships. 
It will, however, make you a useful idiot of the Left.
Take South Dakota Senator Mike Rounds, for example. 
As The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway notes, Rounds was being interviewed recently by ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, who asked him about “all those Republicans … who believe the election was stolen.”
Rounds hemmed and hawed a bit, then ultimately settled on the following idiocy: “The election was fair, as fair as we have seen.”
...And they need to stop saying “the election was fair.” 
It wasn’t. And Republicans shouldn’t be afraid to say so...Much here, read all!

Hospital Mergers Jumped 25 Percent in 2021
  • More than 3,000 merger and acquisition (M&A) transactions took place in the hospital industry in 2021, a 25 percent increase over 2020, states a report in Fierce Healthcare published on December 14.
“...There is no good reason for government policies that encourage this trend,” Goodman said.
Big Hospital Deals
...Health IT and software continue to be the top sectors in M&A activity, exceeding 320 deals and expected to end the year with around 450 deals.
...“The lack of competition in the nation’s hospital markets undermines patient choice and increases consumers’ costs,” writes Moffit.
“Conversely, strong market competition not only increases patient choice and controls costs, but also stimulates innovation in health care delivery and improves the quality of care,” Moffit wrote.

  • We have seen a 4% surplus of domestic oil and gas production fall to a 4% oil and gas deficit.
"Once, during a meeting with then-presidential candidate Donald Trump inside Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue in New York, we discussed energy policy. 
I told Trump that if we went all out to produce America’s abundant supply of oil, gas and coal, the United States could be energy independent in four years.

Trump looked at me from behind his desk and shook his head. “I don’t want America to be energy independent. I want America to be energy dominant.”...Read all!
