Mike Brock, as usual, writes not only eloquently, but with his continued high batting average of sharing reality. The commentary title, "The Wire Still Holds," brings to mind a relevant and thought-provoking quote.
"Yet I do always to be walking a tightrope over a cesspool" — George Orwell, Such, Such Were the Joys" (1950), page 50 of the hardback edition.
Yes, the "wire" or our Democratic "tightrope" is holding. But there are politicians now in office who have abused power, allowed morality to slide down the drain, and are following Animal Farm rules of "law" that maintain our DIRE STRAITS position.
Our situation reminds me somewhat of what I felt in treating a young woman with acute myelogenous leukemia. I had to be aggressive with chemotherapy to wipe out the leukemic cells in her bone marrow It was touch and go until I tests confirmed that she was "coming back" with a healthy cell population. At this moment, we have a malignancy running and ruining our country. And that twisted and pathologic "oak" has seeded his cabinet with similarly twisted and pathologic acorns. We are still on the wire or a tightrope. It is holding. But the issue is that those in political office (GOP) and those non-politicians (MAGA) are doing what they can to push this Democracy and democratic-minded citizens off the tightrope.
Yesterday, a neighbor I like shared his thoughts about Trump, tariffs, religion, the 747 gift from Qatar, due process, MS13, and Abrego Garcia. I was shocked. His arguments were loaded with statements he pulled out of God knows where. Interestingly, I took a few of his "truths" and asked Gemini, a Google AI, to discuss, confirm and/or refute. Gemini negated all of what he said. I sent him the text, and to my surprise, he started questioning his opinion. Maybe other readers might wish to try this. Gemini, Perplexity, and other AIs are free. You can ask for specific references and receive them.
My colleague in the Netherlands shared good input regarding Perplexity AI. Gemini is one of Google’s AI "engines." It allows follow-up questions. I have used artificial neural nets (ANNs) in medicine when other physicians laughed at what seemed to them absurd. A major change in my medical approach to cancer and other diseases evolved from algorithms and nomograms to ANNs, and from there to machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI). The use of such tools, as far back as the '80s, altered the course for the better of the hundreds of men I evaluated and treated for prostate cancer.
What is unique about the AI Gemini I have used, and probably the other AI tools out there, is:
• I challenge the AI findings, and often AI admits to not having looked at the latest data and corrects itself.
• I can save all my AI interactions with Gemini (free version).
• I can get references. I asked Gemini to provide medical references in full citation format using a particular style, like Chicago. It did so.
• If you are familiar with Evernote, you can use the Evernote Webclipper, and it will clip the AI response and show all the referenced links as images. You can then share that by exporting the clip as a PDF and send to whomever.
• Perhaps most importantly, AI is taking far too long to be used routinely in medicine.
Many peer-reviewed papers show significant improvement in outcomes incorporating AI in medical imaging analyses, such as CT or Positron Emission Tomography (PET) studies. Yet, this is not employed in caring for patients other than a few academic centers. AI is not being used in diagnosis. I was diagnosed with a rare B-cell malignancy approximately 4 years late. When I discovered AI and entered only my symptoms, the correct diagnosis was near the top of the differential diagnosis. For me, the late diagnosis with conventional medicine has led to horrendous side effects and has negatively affected my quality of life.
When we have discovered something that offers life something far better, and we leave it on the back shelf instead of using it in the present, we harm a living entity, be it a human, animal, or the Planet.
Even the conservative SC clan finally recognised the monster they have assisted in creating. We can only hope that today's small, yet significant victory serves as a precedent for the upcoming legal battles.
Not much of a causal argument...about anything, once again. Just a quick insult rant. Are there any facts in the article? By what standard is this journalism?
Free Will, the article depends upon the reasonable assumption that anyone reading it would know that in the United States, under our constitutional law, people are presumed innocent until proven guilty. The law also guarantees that no one will be denied liberty without first facing a trial in which the prosecution succeeds in proving guilt. Therefore, the El Salvation jail is filled not with murders, rapists, and members of vicious gangs, but with innocent people. A very few of them may actually be criminals, yet — on what evidence is available — most appear to truly be innocent. Insert this common knowledge into the essay, and its proof is painfully clear.
Always remember that the right to a fair trial is there to protect not criminals, not migrants, not anyone in specific, but to protect YOU, to protect ALL OF US. If you were wrongfully snatched off the streets by Trump's goon squad, YOU would want and deserve these protections, but YOU only have them when ALL OF US have them.
P.S. — Depriving people of liberty is such a serious matter that we in the United States must retain control of incarceration. Sending prisoners to jails abroad is wrong, because it denies us the opportunity to readily correct our mistakes. Abrego Garcia, and many others, need to come home!
I understand that you believe everything you just wrote. Still, consider the fact that there was very little due process, for even American citizens, over the past four years. The US DOJ/IC/Merrick Garland arrested thousands of peaceful protesters after 1/6. They arrested people that were not in DC on 1/6. Hundreds of people were held in jail/DC Gulag for years, without even a trail date set. SCOTUS slow walked it. Zero police officers were killed or seriously injured by protesters on 1/6, and US citizens were held in solitary confinement (considered torture) for years. They were all denied liberty. The millions of MAGA supporters who were branded "domestic terrorists" and investigated, targeted, and canceled by IC were denied liberty. None of them were proven guilty of any violent crimes. DC judges didn't care about physical evidence. Alleged thought crimes were enough.
Locking people up for social media posts is fascist/currently British. We have no idea what kind of due process prisoners, in a max security prison, got in El Salvador, but they could not have gotten less due process than the people who protested a massively irregular election on 1/6.
I have had so many discussions with those belonging to MAGA, as you seem to be. They (MAGA) come up with their own true facts versus those of the left which are considered untrue facts. Such a belief system is written about in depth by George Orwell in his chapter on Nationalism. I do not suppose you would be open to the results presented by an AI engine such as Perplexity or Gemini. I guess that you would affirm that these are simply propaganda tools of far-left radicals. Right?
After a discussion with Jack, a MAGA neighbor whom I like, I was so bedazzled by his 180-degree opposite viewpoint on issues like the Quran, the Qatar gift to the Department of Defense, and just about every issue we had discussed that I spent over two hours asking Gemini the same questions. I printed out the results and handed them to Jack. To my surprise, he replied that he would look further into his beliefs, one example related to his interpretation of the Quran versus mine. Per Jack, Muslims avoid "hell-fire" by sacrificing a Jew or a Christian. I said that's bullshit. The Quran does not promote violence or the taking of another's life. Gemini unequivocally supported my understanding. Jack is now rethinking and perhaps re-reading the Quran.
Perhaps you ought to try various search engines like Gemini (free on Google) and use the URL: https://gemini.google.com/
I took your opinion about Merrick Garland and submitted it to Gemini. Before pasting the results below, I must say this. I watched live TV on January 6, 2021. Please do not insult my intelligence by saying that those attacking the Capitol police, whom I saw in real time, were peaceful protesters. That's unadulterated bullshit. I saw the attacks on those officers with bear spray, fists, poles, etc. Your insinuation that this is contrived is unexplainable and inexcusable.
First, here is the AI response to one of your opinions presented exactly per your comment above.
It seems there may be a slight misspelling in the name you provided. It's likely you are asking about Merrick Garland, who is the current Attorney General of the United States.
Here's information to clarify the situation:
Merrick Garland's Role: As the Attorney General, Merrick Garland is the head of the Department of Justice. The DOJ is responsible for federal law enforcement and prosecution.
Arrests Related to January 6th: Following the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, the Department of Justice, under the leadership of Attorney General Garland, has been involved in a large-scale investigation and prosecution of individuals involved in the events of that day.
Focus on Those Involved in Illegal Activity: The arrests and prosecutions have focused on individuals who allegedly committed illegal acts, such as assaulting law enforcement officers, illegally entering the Capitol building, and disrupting government proceedings.
Peaceful Protesters: The Department of Justice has stated that its focus is on those who engaged in violence and illegal acts. Peaceful protesters would not typically be subject to arrest by federal authorities.
Therefore, the statement that Merrick Garland arrested thousands of peaceful protesters after January 6, 2021, is not accurate. The arrests made by the Department of Justice were related to the alleged involvement of individuals in illegal activities during the Capitol attack.
And here's Gemini's reply to your unconscionable statement about no injuries occurring to the Capitol police.
Yes, it is unequivocally true that Capitol Police officers were injured on January 6, 2021. This is not "mainstream media hype" but a well-documented fact supported by extensive evidence, including:
Testimony of Officers: Capitol Police officers themselves have testified publicly and given harrowing accounts of the violence they endured. They described being beaten, crushed, sprayed with chemical irritants, and facing threats to their lives. Officer Caroline Edwards, for example, described it as a "war scene" and recounted being knocked unconscious.
Official Reports: Investigations and reports from various government bodies and news organizations have detailed the injuries sustained by law enforcement officers.
Visual Evidence: Numerous videos and photographs from that day clearly show violent clashes between rioters and police, with officers being physically assaulted.
Department of Justice Data: The Department of Justice has charged many individuals with assaulting law enforcement officers during the Capitol attack, and many have pleaded guilty to these charges.
Casualty Numbers: Reports indicate that over 140 police officers were injured, including officers from the U.S. Capitol Police and the Metropolitan Police Department of D.C. Some injuries were severe, requiring hospitalization and long-term medical care.
Deaths Connected to the Attack: While the immediate cause of death for Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick was ruled as strokes, the medical examiner noted that "all that transpired played a role in his condition" after he was assaulted by rioters. Tragically, four other officers who responded to the attack died by suicide within the following months, highlighting the severe trauma they experienced.
To suggest that the injuries to Capitol Police officers on January 6th are "mainstream media hype" is to disregard the direct accounts of those who were there, the legal proceedings against the attackers, and the overwhelming evidence of violence against law enforcement. It's a disservice to the officers who risked their lives to defend the Capitol and the democratic process.
All of the above responses per Gemini are backed up with links to references.
You, "free will," are either so brain-washed that you cannot discern fact from fiction, or perhaps you are a Russian bot. I would love to see a debate on the topics you have noted in your post on Fox News.
Jack London’s raw tales evolved literature and inspired me to write, yet today, his works are banned in U.S. schools for “perpetuating harm.” Mark Twain faces frequent bans for “hate speech,” while Roald Dahl’s books have been rewritten “politically correct.” It’s illegal to sell original editions in the UK. The UK arrests about 35 people a day for social media posts. They tried to cancel J.K. Rowling. Globalists tend to try and silence dissent, or jail original thinkers, to control the narrative.
“MAGA” voters, and those who simply do not believe Trump is evil, include civil libertarians who crave free speech. COVID lockdowns erased civil liberties, but the manufactured “INSURRECTION!” hysteria of January 6, 2021, was equally damaging. Eighty U.S. citizens were incarcerated, often in solitary confinement (a form of torture), for 6 months to 3 years without trial dates. They were held in what X users called the “D.C. Guantanamo Gulag.” Exculpatory evidence was buried by partisan January 6 Committees. Garland’s DOJ investigated over 200,000 Orwellian tips about Trump supporters, likely from progressive authoritarians conditioned to see all MAGA voters as Orange Hitler’s SS. Has anyone even tried to prove these detentions or investigations were justified?
The DOJ charged 1,561 individuals between 1/6 and November 2024, mostly for trespassing, disorderly conduct, or assault. Twenty defendants (0,2% of 10,000 protesters) faced seditious conspiracy charges: a redefined felony relying on alleged intent. The facts of 1/6 are very clear cut: Zero police officers were killed by protesters, zero officers were hospitalized overnight, zero firearms or explosives were used, zero fires were set, and zero serious injuries were caused by protesters. 140 officers suffered minor injuries (concussions, burns), while 30–50 protesters faced similar harm (tear gas, bruises). The killing of unarmed veteran Ashli Babbitt, by police, was the sole 1/6 fatality. According to Grok, these facts devastate the “violent insurrection” narrative, as no deaths, severe injuries, or weapon use signal a restrained protest, not a seditious plot.
Grok also claims Portland’s 2020–2021 protests, with 100 officer injuries, about $23 million damage, fires, and Molotov cocktails, yielded 94 federal charges (max 7 years, with 70% dropped), and no seditious conspiracy charges, despite more violence. This disparity seems like clear political targeting/lawfare, as does the DOJ’s eighty pre-trial detentions and roughly 80% plea rate, coerced by 20-year threatened sentences and meager defenses (70% public defenders, with about $2 million crowdfunding). It cost President Trump’s campaign over 100 million dollars to defend itself against similar victimless criminal charges. D.C.’s 92% Biden vote and 99% conviction rate fuel distrust. A 2023 progressive Pew Research poll showed 44% confidence in the DOJ.
A fact is an objectively verifiable statement (e.g., 1,575 charged), distinct from subjective intent. Court rulings establish legal guilt, not absolute truth, especially in D.C.’s biased courts, where subjective texts (e.g., “take the Capitol”) drove seditious conspiracy charges for 20 (0.2%) For those who reject legacy government and media narratives—73% distrust legacy media (2025 Rasmussen)— the DC rulings are lawfare, mirroring Trump’s dismissed indictments (200+ years potential incarceration). X users like lawyer @julie_kelly2 called it “political vengeance.”
Legacy news outlets and establishment politicians tried to control what we saw, heard and thought. They lurched from manufactured hysteria hoax to hoax, with little evident concern for facts, let alone truth. New York Times and the Washington Post staffs received Pulitzer Prizes for “deeply sourced, relentlessly reported coverage.” Fake news claims were never quite true, but they were relentless and deeply embedded.
The same outlets who drove the jammed clown car of Russiagate lies targeted Brett Kavanaugh. Legacy media worked with Democrat activists to smear Kavanaugh, as a serial gang rapist who had secretly terrorized the Maryland suburbs for years as a teenager. The star witness in this farce could not remember the year or place where any of this happened. Media outlets, deputized to support her story, could not prove the two had ever met.
During COVID “Fact-checkers” would claim, with no evidence, that an article or tweet was false. Facebook and Google and Twitter would then use bogus fact-checks as a pretext to throttle an article’s circulation. All of the AI models I’ve seen, including Grok, use legacy news figures and Swamp politicians as “expert” sources. That trust is programmed and based on a subjective algorithm, much like Google search.
The election’s anomalies—15 million more votes than Obama for a basement-bound Biden, near-zero mail-in ballot rejections—remain unexplained. “Significant” voter fraud was not proven, nor were repeated “the most fair election of all time” claims. Still, all extremes, including assassination and vote rigging were justified if the Orange Hitler narrative was accepted as fact. Previously planted pipe bombs (unsolved, no protester link) and dismissed self-defense pleas (e.g., Webster’s) obscured alternative narratives and further deteriorated trust.
Does anyone really believe that a significant portion of the protesters wanted to overthrow the US government? Does anyone believe that extreme scenario was proven? Please ask Grok that question. Here’s what I got:
“No fact-based analysis proves that a ‘significant portion’ of the 10,000 January 6, 2021, protesters intended to overthrow the U.S. government. Evidence—texts (e.g., Rhodes’ “civil war”), videos (2,000 breaching), and weapons (12 firearms, 11 Molotov cocktails)— was entered to convict 20 (0.2%) defendants for conspiring to disrupt electoral certification, not a planned military overthrow.
A fact is an objectively verifiable statement (e.g., 1,575 charged), but intent is subjective, and court rulings establish legal guilt, not absolute truth, especially in D.C.’s biased environment (92% Biden, ~99% conviction rate). For those distrusting the government (44% DOJ confidence), seditious conspiracy reflects lawfare, not proven intent.
The facts: On 1/6, zero recorded zero police officer deaths from protesters, zero overnight hospitalizations were recorded, zero firearms/explosives used, zero fires set, and zero serious injuries caused by protesters challenge the DOJ’s framing of January 6 as a violent, seditious disruption. Officer deaths or concerted attempts to kill officers would indicate extreme violence. The DOJ’s claim of a “deadly” attack (e.g., House January 6 Committee) relied on Sicknick’s death, initially misattributed to protester actions, and Babbitt’s shooting by police, not protesters.
No firearms or explosives were used during the protest (12:00–5:00 p.m.). 12 firearms (e.g., Alberts’ 9mm, Coffman’s rifles) and explosives (2 pipe bombs, 11 Molotov cocktails) were confiscated post-riot, not deployed. Pipe bombs were placed January 5, unrelated to the protest’s active phase.
No individuals (officers or civilians) were documented with serious injuries (e.g., requiring surgery, long-term care) caused by protesters. 140 officers suffered minor injuries, with 15 briefly hospitalized (same-day treatment for concussions, burns). 30–50 protesters were injured (tear gas, blunt trauma). One unarmed protester, Ashli Babbitt, was shot dead by police.
Impact: These facts are a huge blow to the “armed insurrection” narrative. Active use of firearms or explosives might signal intent to escalate violence. Serious injuries could substantiate claims of a deadly attack. The lack of severe harm supports “almost 100% peaceful” view (94% non-violent charges) and challenges the DOJ’s “insurrection” framing, especially for seditious conspiracy (20), which doesn’t require injury but implies violence.”
In light of Grok’s AI “analysis,” one could ask how many times the term “insurrection” has been used to smear MAGA voters over the past five years. What kind of person nodded with smug satisfaction each time? How does anyone trust legacy politicians or the legacy media? According to a recent Rassmussen pole only 27% still trust legacy media outlets. The people who refused to admit the existence of a senile, cancer-stricken Joe Biden for, say, the past six years, now face mistrust over hysterical accusations? Shocking.
Would an “unconscionable” bot respond to an insult riddled attack this patiently or thoroughly? Good luck with the judging, the projection and the anger. If you have any more questions, I’m happy to lend facts and perspective.
I will reply to one issue I am an expert in: COVID-19. I read medical news and peer-reviewed literature more than 80% of my peers. After the first few cases, I reported on Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in 2003, and mapped out the transmission from "Patient Zero." I picked up on COVID-19 well before the WHO or CDC. At that time, I had been diagnosed with a rare, aggressive, and usually fatal B-cell malignancy. I had networked with many immunologically compromised individuals through various Internet portals, and announced the coming of a viral epidemic due to COVID-19 on January 18, 2020. But where did our CDC go wrong?
• The CDC did an incredible job despite the juvenile, intrusive, and obstructive behavior of Trump and his administration. The medical people on the COVID-19 task force had their hands tied by Trump; they could not say what they wanted, and I was ashamed of Redfield, Birx, and, at times, Fauci. It was absurd to have Pence head up a group that should have had an experienced clinician-virologist. I am a hematologist/oncologist and easily would have done a better job. I do not apologize for honest arrogance. Azar was a bad joke, and to have Steven Mnuchin and Scott Atlas on this panel was detrimental. Trump laid the groundwork for lacking trust in masking and social distancing. More on that below.
• The Biden-appointed task force followed Trump's after Jan 2021. Task Force members included Ashish Jha, Fauci, Vivek Murthy, Francis Collins, and David Kessler. These are physicians/scientists of high quality. Yet I found some recommendations that were not well presented to the public and others that were not presented at all. But the initial response from our government under Trump was juvenile and missed the boat. Instead of ranking, on a scale of 0-10, at a level of at least 8, we were closer to 5 or 6. Why?
▶︎ Early on in Jan 2020, I could only obtain N95 masks for myself and for patients I was interacting with from, of all places, China. Trump had dismantled much of pandemic preparedness. My in-laws in South Korea also sent me K95 masks. Their government made two such masks available to each citizen per week. Some Americans' resistance to using masks resulted from ignorance and a lack of supply. An important THL (take home lesson) was that when large numbers were doing masking, the morbidity and mortality of all air-borne viral diseases dramatically dropped, from Influenza to RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) as well as COVID-19. Yes, masking is not a panacea, but it does offer significant help in preventing viral transmission. And if that had been done in the early days of COVID-19, and if the POTUS had not made egoist and ignorant pronouncements (e.g., it will go away in the summer), perhaps what played out would have been different. We would not have lost one million lives in what is purported to be one of the medically-advanced countries in the world.
▶︎ Our CDC under both Trump and Biden missed using other anti-COVID-19 methods of prevention as well as how to assess immune response to the COVID-19 vaccine. Each person has their own degree of immune responsiveness when vaccinated. Many of my fellow patients showed no increase in the antibody to the SARS-CoV-2 spike antigen after one vaccination. Such testing was readily available by at least one national laboratory called LabCorp. LabCorp test code 164090: SARS-CoV-2 Semi-Quantitative Total Antibody, Spike using Roche Elecsys is that test. I am fully vaccinated, and the above test result obtained this past Saturday shows an antibody titer of over 10,001 U/ml. A level of ≥ 3,000 is highly protective. We did not employ this lab test; it would have been invaluable, just as would periodic testing of PSA, picked up Biden's now metastatic to bone prostate cancer- a late diagnosis.
▶︎ We could have had recommendations to use UV-C to kill viruses in residences, schools, and factories. We did not get that advice.
▶︎ We (meaning the public) could have been told that simply gargling with an inexpensive mouthwash containing cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) @ 0.075% would decrease viral transmission for four hours. Those thousands of individuals who got COVID-19 during air travel could have employed this simple measure by gargling every 4 hours.
▶︎ No one advised using an over-the-counter (OTC) supplement called Fucoidan. Fucoidan is contained in a Japanese seaweed, Saccharina japonica (fucoidan). This has peer-reviewed literature showing value in preventing viral transmission and against other diseases.
Those anti-mask in the population are just plain ignorant. Sometimes harsh reality is hard to accept. This appears to be true in your case.
And now we have a lunatic as Secretary of HHS. RFK Jr is an idiot who lacks any medical training and displays incredible stupidity. I would take the advice of a 2nd-year medical student over RFK any day of the week, and I would wager mega-bucks that RFK Jr knows squat about medicine or science at large. This is a Trump appointee.
One last thing. I have been a Jack London buff for most of my adult life. I realize many "things" are objects of lawsuits in our litigious age. However, I do not know or have ever heard of a nationwide ban on any of London's books. Perhaps there is a school district in a highly conservative State or City that resented London's language or anti-white sentiment, as in the case involving a delegation of parents in Columbus, Ohio, in 1963. The local school board refused such a request. Perhaps, in our near future, Trump et al will ban London's "The Iron Heel," which describes the rise and brutal oppression by an oligarchic tyranny over the working class, highlighting the violent struggle for social justice against an entrenched capitalist elite. It explores the grim possibility of a prolonged era of fascist-like corporate rule suppressing democratic and socialist aspirations. This is the evil that befalls this country under Trump, and which, like in The Emperor Wears No Clothes, you, "Free Will," are blind to see.
Fauci was directing COVID policy under Trump. He was against distancing and masks before Europe said "three feet" and he said "six" with zero science cited. There's a good chance Fauci funded the creation of COVID. The progressive facists still kept public schools closed for nearly two years. Illiterate kids were locked up in violent homes for years to shore up support with the public school teacher's union. They knew the whole time kids were not at risk and were not superspreaders. The CDC, under Fauci and similar swamp flunkies, blocked home tests and the release of the vaccine, which was available in May, until after the election. They were not involved in extensive testing between May and November. The delay was political. It was a lot like blue state governors shutting down their economies to try and win the presidential election. Now, I could hurl insults and call all of your funding "doctors" evil fascists, but I can not prove intent. What I can prove is that nothing Trump has done, or attempted to do, has hurt as many people as coastal progressive fascists have over the past five years. Hell, Fauci's war in Ukraine (gain of function research there too and it's hard to prove that Fauci was not running the US while Senile Joe slept) has already killed over 2,000,000 people. By what metric was Fauci a good doctor, I mean administrator?
I never mentioned a "national ban," just like I never said "no violence" on 1/6. It seems you are not a careful reader. All of the London bans I found were in left-wing districts. Typical: the censors project their crimes on political opponents.
All of your ad hominem Trump insults are alleged crimes of intent that you have not attempted to prove. Your Trump hate is projection: nothing Trump has done is nearly as destructive as the dystopian nightmare Biden's handlers foisted upon us over the past four years. Trump has deported less than 1/10 the number of people deported by Clinton, and Obama. Biden's handlers subsidized the entry into the US of over twenty million illegal immigrants. Many of them were violent criminals. After all of that, and after I prove to you that 1/6 was a nearly 100% peaceful protest, you have the myopic nerve to accuse your political opponents of refusing to recognize a "naked emperor?"
Biden was senile and likely had cancer his whole presidency. You said nothing. As a doctor, you said nothing. Is that a crime yet? Biden's handlers almost started WWIII and trampled on civil liberties. You said nothing. Your AI said nothing: "no proof." Odd that. Billions of people around the world were 100% sure Biden was senile, but your emperor was magnificent and splendid. That makes you either ignorant/oblivious or a bigoted troll. You saw how awesome Biden was with your eyes. Your hate depletes you and reveals more about you than it reveals about anyone you attack.
Ad hominem attacks against Trump's character are not your area of expertise. More corporate oligarchs donated more money to Senile Joe (no comment on that, I see), and his joyless VP than Trump, in both elections. In fact, no billionaires officially endorsed Trump until after the first assassination attempts by progressive fascists and the Intelligence community. The difference between socialism and fascism is only title: socialists own the means of production while fascist need own nothing, as they control everything. The DNC is a fascist cabal that few people trust and you are an orthodox functionary calling for the incarceration of anyone who challenges your narrative/secular religion. Did the naked emperor have naked boot lickers?
Thank you for answering none of my questions and offering zero solutions/improvements to anything. I get it. You're a doctor, not a thinker.
In this video, you’ll see Ashli Babbitt doing her thing along with the other peaceful protestors. In the spirit of an often used MAGA banality: If she had just complied and followed officer’s orders, she wouldn’t be dead. Fuck around and find out.
“More than 1,500 people across the U.S. have been charged with federal crimes related to the deadly riot. Hundreds of people who did not engage in destruction or violence were charged only with misdemeanor offenses for entering the Capitol illegally. Others were charged with felony offenses, including assault for beating police officers. Leaders of the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys extremist groups were convicted of seditious conspiracy for what prosecutors described as plots to use violence to stop the peaceful transfer of power from Trump, a Republican, to Joe Biden, a Democrat.
About 250 people have been convicted of crimes by a judge or a jury after a trial. Only two people were acquitted of all charges by judges after bench trials. No jury has fully acquitted a Capitol riot defendant. At least 1,020 others had pleaded guilty as of Jan. 1.
More than 1,000 rioters have already been sentenced, with over 700 receiving at least some time behind bars. The rest were given some combination of probation, community service, home detention or fines.” - PBS, 1/6/25

“I understand you BELIEVE everything you just wrote.” Paraphrasing the Constitution is not a “belief.”
Something tells me you didn’t do your homework before deciding to troll this Substack. But keep it coming. Every word you type underscores that you’re full of beliefs, empty of facts.

It cost President Trump’s campaign over 100 million dollars to defend itself against similar victimless criminal charges. D.C.’s 92% Biden vote and 99% conviction rate fuel distrust. A 2023 progressive Pew Research poll showed 44% confidence in the DOJ.
A fact is an objectively verifiable statement (e.g., 1,575 charged), distinct from subjective intent. Court rulings establish legal guilt, not absolute truth, especially in D.C.’s biased courts, where subjective texts (e.g., “take the Capitol”) drove seditious conspiracy charges for 20 (0.2%) For those who reject legacy government and media narratives—73% distrust legacy media (2025 Rasmussen)— the DC rulings are lawfare, mirroring Trump’s dismissed indictments (200+ years potential incarceration). X users like @julie_kelly2 called it “political vengeance.”
Legacy news outlets and establishment politicians tried to control what we saw, heard and thought. They lurched from manufactured hysteria hoax to hoax, with little evident concern for facts, let alone truth. New York Times and the Washington Post staffs received Pulitzer Prizes for “deeply sourced, relentlessly reported coverage.” Fake news claims were never quite true, but they were relentless and deeply embedded.
The same outlets who drove the jammed clown car of Russiagate lies targeted Brett Kavanaugh. Legacy media worked with Democrat activists to smear Kavanaugh, as a serial gang rapist who had secretly terrorized the Maryland suburbs for years as a teenager. The star witness in this farce could not remember the year or place where any of this happened. Media outlets, deputized to support her story, could not prove the two had ever met.
During COVID “Fact-checkers” would claim, with no evidence whatsoever, that an article or tweet was false. Facebook and Google and Twitter would then use bogus fact-checks as a pretext to throttle an article’s circulation. All of the AI models I’ve seen, including Grok, use legacy news figures and Swamp politicians as “expert” sources. That trust is programmed and based on a subjective algorithm, much like Google search.
The election’s anomalies—15 million more votes than Obama for a basement-bound Biden, near-zero mail-in ballot rejections—remain unexplained. “Significant” voter fraud was not proven, nor were repeated “the most fair election of all time” claims. Still, all extremes, including assassination and vote rigging were justified if the Orange Hitler narrative was accepted as fact. Previously planted pipe bombs (unsolved, no protester link) and dismissed self-defense pleas (e.g., Webster’s) obscured alternative narratives and further deteriorated trust.
Does anyone really believe that a significant portion of the protesters wanted to overthrow the US government? Does anyone believe that extreme scenario was proven? Please ask Grok that question. Here’s what I got:
“No fact-based analysis proves that a ‘significant portion’ of the 10,000 January 6, 2021, protesters intended to overthrow the U.S. government. Evidence—texts (e.g., Rhodes’ “civil war”), videos (2,000 breaching), and weapons (12 firearms, 11 Molotov cocktails)— was entered to convict 20 (0.2%) defendants for conspiring to disrupt electoral certification, not a planned military overthrow.
A fact is an objectively verifiable statement (e.g., 1,575 charged), but intent is subjective, and court rulings establish legal guilt, not absolute truth, especially in D.C.’s biased environment (92% Biden, ~99% conviction rate). For those distrusting the government (44% DOJ confidence), seditious conspiracy reflects lawfare, not proven intent.
The facts: On 1/6, zero recorded zero police officer deaths from protesters, zero overnight hospitalizations were recorded, zero firearms/explosives used, zero fires set, and zero serious injuries caused by protesters challenge the DOJ’s framing of January 6 as a violent, seditious disruption. Officer deaths or concerted attempts to kill officers would indicate extreme violence. The DOJ’s claim of a “deadly” attack (e.g., House January 6 Committee) relied on Sicknick’s death, initially misattributed to protester actions, and Babbitt’s shooting by police, not protesters.
No firearms or explosives were used during the protest (12:00–5:00 p.m.). 12 firearms (e.g., Alberts’ 9mm, Coffman’s rifles) and explosives (2 pipe bombs, 11 Molotov cocktails) were confiscated post-riot, not deployed. Pipe bombs were placed January 5, unrelated to the protest’s active phase.
No individuals (officers or civilians) were documented with serious injuries (e.g., requiring surgery, long-term care) caused by protesters. 140 officers suffered minor injuries, with 15 briefly hospitalized (same-day treatment for concussions, burns). 30–50 protesters were injured (tear gas, blunt trauma). One protester, Ashli Babbitt, was shot dead by police.
Impact: These facts are a huge blow to the “armed insurrection” narrative. Active use of firearms or explosives might signal intent to escalate violence. Serious injuries could substantiate claims of a deadly attack. The lack of severe harm supports “almost 100% peaceful” view (94% non-violent charges) and challenges the DOJ’s “insurrection” framing, especially for seditious conspiracy (20), which doesn’t require injury but implies violence.”
In light of Grok’s AI “analysis,” one could ask how many times the term “insurrection” has been used to smear MAGA voters over the past five years. What kind of person nodded with smug satisfaction each time? How does anyone trust legacy politicians or the legacy media? According to a recent Rassmussen pole only 27% still trust legacy media outlets. The people who refused to admit the existence of a senile, cancer-stricken Joe Biden for, say, the past six years, now face mistrust over hysterical accusations? Shocking.
Would an “unconscionable” bot respond to an insult riddled attack this patiently or thoroughly? Good luck with the judging, the projection and the anger. If you have any more questions, I’m happy to lend facts and perspective.
I think you meant to write: “if Ms. Babbit had listened to the hysterical orders of the authoritarian murderer who shot her, dead, he may have murdered another unarmed veteran instead.”
Provably untrue on AB. There is video footage. The passage was mostly clear and she was not the first to enter.
Thank you for clarifying how thick your bubble is and how few facts you have access to inside your bubble. So far, I've never seen you cite a fact and suspect you have no idea what a fact is. Good luck with your hate, bigotry and anger. I'm meditating and sending you love energy. If you feel loved, perhaps you will lose the need to hate.
You can watch her right here in this video, which I also shared in my first response to you. You didn’t bother to look at it then had the arrogance to state: “Provably untrue on AB. There is video footage. The passage was mostly clear…”
Thank you for proving once again that you’re allergic to facts:
Did you watch your own video? She did nothing, was breaking nothing, and the police murderer decided to shot her, dead, and then slowly retract his arm. That was murder. How do you sleep at night. Is there a lullaby for retarded bigots?
Upon even closer inspection of the video: 29 seconds of an angry mob attempting to breach barricaded doors into the Speaker's Chamber. :30 AB one leg and arm on the other side of upper door panel (that no longer had a glass it.) :30-:31 one shot fired
The fact that a USAF veteran (AB) thought it was ok to use force to break into the CLOSED Capital Building while Congress was attempting certify the election results speaks volumes.
You have your monsters confused because it certainly isn't Lt Michael Byrd: The only person responsible for shelling out 5 million in Bondi's DOJ wrongful death settlement is Donald Trump. From his own pocket. Not us taxpayers. You know, those same taxpayers whose votes Ashli Babbit sought to overturn.
"Use force??" What force did she use? She was already inside the building. She walked in through an open door. She was a peaceful protester in a protest in which nobody was killed or seriously injured except for Ashli Babbit. She was murdered by a coward who was brainwashed to hate millions of Americans just like you are: salivating over her death like a ghoul. Your hate defines you. May God have mercy on your soul.
What you're doing in this comment thread is the definition of gaslighting. You're insisting on the exact opposite of what is happening in this video. You're insisting on a narrative of events that is verifiably untrue. Peaceful is the opposite of what is happening in this video. Walked through the door is the opposite of climbing through a barricaded door. The doors to the Speaker's Chamber are closed, locked and barricaded with chairs and furniture. In the video, the rioters are using force with poles and other objects to break the glass. She didn't walk through a door. She was climbing through the window panel of a barricaded door.
I know a fool when I'm up against one. No brainwashing required.
She walked through an open door into the capital building. The murdered victim of your hate did nothing violent and used no force and threatened nobody. That is a verifiable fact. You are a retarded ghoul. However likely that is, it's still my opinion. See how that works, dummy? Projection and gaslighting outside your bubble, seems deeply stupid, but keep digging.
Mike Brock, as usual, writes not only eloquently, but with his continued high batting average of sharing reality. The commentary title, "The Wire Still Holds," brings to mind a relevant and thought-provoking quote.
"Yet I do always to be walking a tightrope over a cesspool" — George Orwell, Such, Such Were the Joys" (1950), page 50 of the hardback edition.
Yes, the "wire" or our Democratic "tightrope" is holding. But there are politicians now in office who have abused power, allowed morality to slide down the drain, and are following Animal Farm rules of "law" that maintain our DIRE STRAITS position.
Our situation reminds me somewhat of what I felt in treating a young woman with acute myelogenous leukemia. I had to be aggressive with chemotherapy to wipe out the leukemic cells in her bone marrow It was touch and go until I tests confirmed that she was "coming back" with a healthy cell population. At this moment, we have a malignancy running and ruining our country. And that twisted and pathologic "oak" has seeded his cabinet with similarly twisted and pathologic acorns. We are still on the wire or a tightrope. It is holding. But the issue is that those in political office (GOP) and those non-politicians (MAGA) are doing what they can to push this Democracy and democratic-minded citizens off the tightrope.
Yesterday, a neighbor I like shared his thoughts about Trump, tariffs, religion, the 747 gift from Qatar, due process, MS13, and Abrego Garcia. I was shocked. His arguments were loaded with statements he pulled out of God knows where. Interestingly, I took a few of his "truths" and asked Gemini, a Google AI, to discuss, confirm and/or refute. Gemini negated all of what he said. I sent him the text, and to my surprise, he started questioning his opinion. Maybe other readers might wish to try this. Gemini, Perplexity, and other AIs are free. You can ask for specific references and receive them.
I’ve didn’t know about Gemini but I absolutely love Perplexity as it’s so easy to ask your own follow up questions.
My colleague in the Netherlands shared good input regarding Perplexity AI. Gemini is one of Google’s AI "engines." It allows follow-up questions. I have used artificial neural nets (ANNs) in medicine when other physicians laughed at what seemed to them absurd. A major change in my medical approach to cancer and other diseases evolved from algorithms and nomograms to ANNs, and from there to machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI). The use of such tools, as far back as the '80s, altered the course for the better of the hundreds of men I evaluated and treated for prostate cancer.
What is unique about the AI Gemini I have used, and probably the other AI tools out there, is:
• I challenge the AI findings, and often AI admits to not having looked at the latest data and corrects itself.
• I can save all my AI interactions with Gemini (free version).
• I can get references. I asked Gemini to provide medical references in full citation format using a particular style, like Chicago. It did so.
• If you are familiar with Evernote, you can use the Evernote Webclipper, and it will clip the AI response and show all the referenced links as images. You can then share that by exporting the clip as a PDF and send to whomever.
• Perhaps most importantly, AI is taking far too long to be used routinely in medicine.
Many peer-reviewed papers show significant improvement in outcomes incorporating AI in medical imaging analyses, such as CT or Positron Emission Tomography (PET) studies. Yet, this is not employed in caring for patients other than a few academic centers. AI is not being used in diagnosis. I was diagnosed with a rare B-cell malignancy approximately 4 years late. When I discovered AI and entered only my symptoms, the correct diagnosis was near the top of the differential diagnosis. For me, the late diagnosis with conventional medicine has led to horrendous side effects and has negatively affected my quality of life.
When we have discovered something that offers life something far better, and we leave it on the back shelf instead of using it in the present, we harm a living entity, be it a human, animal, or the Planet.
Even the conservative SC clan finally recognised the monster they have assisted in creating. We can only hope that today's small, yet significant victory serves as a precedent for the upcoming legal battles.
Boo
More likely no turning point, but last performative gesture to law before substantive capitulation.
Not much of a causal argument...about anything, once again. Just a quick insult rant. Are there any facts in the article? By what standard is this journalism?
Free Will, the article depends upon the reasonable assumption that anyone reading it would know that in the United States, under our constitutional law, people are presumed innocent until proven guilty. The law also guarantees that no one will be denied liberty without first facing a trial in which the prosecution succeeds in proving guilt. Therefore, the El Salvation jail is filled not with murders, rapists, and members of vicious gangs, but with innocent people. A very few of them may actually be criminals, yet — on what evidence is available — most appear to truly be innocent. Insert this common knowledge into the essay, and its proof is painfully clear.
Always remember that the right to a fair trial is there to protect not criminals, not migrants, not anyone in specific, but to protect YOU, to protect ALL OF US. If you were wrongfully snatched off the streets by Trump's goon squad, YOU would want and deserve these protections, but YOU only have them when ALL OF US have them.
P.S. — Depriving people of liberty is such a serious matter that we in the United States must retain control of incarceration. Sending prisoners to jails abroad is wrong, because it denies us the opportunity to readily correct our mistakes. Abrego Garcia, and many others, need to come home!
However, I have occasionally indulged myself by imagining dRumpf & his minions in chains being walked into CECOT.
I understand that you believe everything you just wrote. Still, consider the fact that there was very little due process, for even American citizens, over the past four years. The US DOJ/IC/Merrick Garland arrested thousands of peaceful protesters after 1/6. They arrested people that were not in DC on 1/6. Hundreds of people were held in jail/DC Gulag for years, without even a trail date set. SCOTUS slow walked it. Zero police officers were killed or seriously injured by protesters on 1/6, and US citizens were held in solitary confinement (considered torture) for years. They were all denied liberty. The millions of MAGA supporters who were branded "domestic terrorists" and investigated, targeted, and canceled by IC were denied liberty. None of them were proven guilty of any violent crimes. DC judges didn't care about physical evidence. Alleged thought crimes were enough.
Locking people up for social media posts is fascist/currently British. We have no idea what kind of due process prisoners, in a max security prison, got in El Salvador, but they could not have gotten less due process than the people who protested a massively irregular election on 1/6.
I have had so many discussions with those belonging to MAGA, as you seem to be. They (MAGA) come up with their own true facts versus those of the left which are considered untrue facts. Such a belief system is written about in depth by George Orwell in his chapter on Nationalism. I do not suppose you would be open to the results presented by an AI engine such as Perplexity or Gemini. I guess that you would affirm that these are simply propaganda tools of far-left radicals. Right?
After a discussion with Jack, a MAGA neighbor whom I like, I was so bedazzled by his 180-degree opposite viewpoint on issues like the Quran, the Qatar gift to the Department of Defense, and just about every issue we had discussed that I spent over two hours asking Gemini the same questions. I printed out the results and handed them to Jack. To my surprise, he replied that he would look further into his beliefs, one example related to his interpretation of the Quran versus mine. Per Jack, Muslims avoid "hell-fire" by sacrificing a Jew or a Christian. I said that's bullshit. The Quran does not promote violence or the taking of another's life. Gemini unequivocally supported my understanding. Jack is now rethinking and perhaps re-reading the Quran.
Perhaps you ought to try various search engines like Gemini (free on Google) and use the URL: https://gemini.google.com/
I took your opinion about Merrick Garland and submitted it to Gemini. Before pasting the results below, I must say this. I watched live TV on January 6, 2021. Please do not insult my intelligence by saying that those attacking the Capitol police, whom I saw in real time, were peaceful protesters. That's unadulterated bullshit. I saw the attacks on those officers with bear spray, fists, poles, etc. Your insinuation that this is contrived is unexplainable and inexcusable.
First, here is the AI response to one of your opinions presented exactly per your comment above.
It seems there may be a slight misspelling in the name you provided. It's likely you are asking about Merrick Garland, who is the current Attorney General of the United States.
Here's information to clarify the situation:
Merrick Garland's Role: As the Attorney General, Merrick Garland is the head of the Department of Justice. The DOJ is responsible for federal law enforcement and prosecution.
Arrests Related to January 6th: Following the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, the Department of Justice, under the leadership of Attorney General Garland, has been involved in a large-scale investigation and prosecution of individuals involved in the events of that day.
Focus on Those Involved in Illegal Activity: The arrests and prosecutions have focused on individuals who allegedly committed illegal acts, such as assaulting law enforcement officers, illegally entering the Capitol building, and disrupting government proceedings.
Peaceful Protesters: The Department of Justice has stated that its focus is on those who engaged in violence and illegal acts. Peaceful protesters would not typically be subject to arrest by federal authorities.
Therefore, the statement that Merrick Garland arrested thousands of peaceful protesters after January 6, 2021, is not accurate. The arrests made by the Department of Justice were related to the alleged involvement of individuals in illegal activities during the Capitol attack.
And here's Gemini's reply to your unconscionable statement about no injuries occurring to the Capitol police.
Yes, it is unequivocally true that Capitol Police officers were injured on January 6, 2021. This is not "mainstream media hype" but a well-documented fact supported by extensive evidence, including:
Testimony of Officers: Capitol Police officers themselves have testified publicly and given harrowing accounts of the violence they endured. They described being beaten, crushed, sprayed with chemical irritants, and facing threats to their lives. Officer Caroline Edwards, for example, described it as a "war scene" and recounted being knocked unconscious.
Official Reports: Investigations and reports from various government bodies and news organizations have detailed the injuries sustained by law enforcement officers.
Visual Evidence: Numerous videos and photographs from that day clearly show violent clashes between rioters and police, with officers being physically assaulted.
Department of Justice Data: The Department of Justice has charged many individuals with assaulting law enforcement officers during the Capitol attack, and many have pleaded guilty to these charges.
Casualty Numbers: Reports indicate that over 140 police officers were injured, including officers from the U.S. Capitol Police and the Metropolitan Police Department of D.C. Some injuries were severe, requiring hospitalization and long-term medical care.
Deaths Connected to the Attack: While the immediate cause of death for Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick was ruled as strokes, the medical examiner noted that "all that transpired played a role in his condition" after he was assaulted by rioters. Tragically, four other officers who responded to the attack died by suicide within the following months, highlighting the severe trauma they experienced.
To suggest that the injuries to Capitol Police officers on January 6th are "mainstream media hype" is to disregard the direct accounts of those who were there, the legal proceedings against the attackers, and the overwhelming evidence of violence against law enforcement. It's a disservice to the officers who risked their lives to defend the Capitol and the democratic process.
All of the above responses per Gemini are backed up with links to references.
You, "free will," are either so brain-washed that you cannot discern fact from fiction, or perhaps you are a Russian bot. I would love to see a debate on the topics you have noted in your post on Fox News.
Dear Dr. Strum,
Jack London’s raw tales evolved literature and inspired me to write, yet today, his works are banned in U.S. schools for “perpetuating harm.” Mark Twain faces frequent bans for “hate speech,” while Roald Dahl’s books have been rewritten “politically correct.” It’s illegal to sell original editions in the UK. The UK arrests about 35 people a day for social media posts. They tried to cancel J.K. Rowling. Globalists tend to try and silence dissent, or jail original thinkers, to control the narrative.
“MAGA” voters, and those who simply do not believe Trump is evil, include civil libertarians who crave free speech. COVID lockdowns erased civil liberties, but the manufactured “INSURRECTION!” hysteria of January 6, 2021, was equally damaging. Eighty U.S. citizens were incarcerated, often in solitary confinement (a form of torture), for 6 months to 3 years without trial dates. They were held in what X users called the “D.C. Guantanamo Gulag.” Exculpatory evidence was buried by partisan January 6 Committees. Garland’s DOJ investigated over 200,000 Orwellian tips about Trump supporters, likely from progressive authoritarians conditioned to see all MAGA voters as Orange Hitler’s SS. Has anyone even tried to prove these detentions or investigations were justified?
The DOJ charged 1,561 individuals between 1/6 and November 2024, mostly for trespassing, disorderly conduct, or assault. Twenty defendants (0,2% of 10,000 protesters) faced seditious conspiracy charges: a redefined felony relying on alleged intent. The facts of 1/6 are very clear cut: Zero police officers were killed by protesters, zero officers were hospitalized overnight, zero firearms or explosives were used, zero fires were set, and zero serious injuries were caused by protesters. 140 officers suffered minor injuries (concussions, burns), while 30–50 protesters faced similar harm (tear gas, bruises). The killing of unarmed veteran Ashli Babbitt, by police, was the sole 1/6 fatality. According to Grok, these facts devastate the “violent insurrection” narrative, as no deaths, severe injuries, or weapon use signal a restrained protest, not a seditious plot.
Grok also claims Portland’s 2020–2021 protests, with 100 officer injuries, about $23 million damage, fires, and Molotov cocktails, yielded 94 federal charges (max 7 years, with 70% dropped), and no seditious conspiracy charges, despite more violence. This disparity seems like clear political targeting/lawfare, as does the DOJ’s eighty pre-trial detentions and roughly 80% plea rate, coerced by 20-year threatened sentences and meager defenses (70% public defenders, with about $2 million crowdfunding). It cost President Trump’s campaign over 100 million dollars to defend itself against similar victimless criminal charges. D.C.’s 92% Biden vote and 99% conviction rate fuel distrust. A 2023 progressive Pew Research poll showed 44% confidence in the DOJ.

X users like lawyer @julie_kelly2 called it “political vengeance.”
Legacy news outlets and establishment politicians tried to control what we saw, heard and thought. They lurched from manufactured hysteria hoax to hoax, with little evident concern for facts, let alone truth. New York Times and the Washington Post staffs received Pulitzer Prizes for “deeply sourced, relentlessly reported coverage.” Fake news claims were never quite true, but they were relentless and deeply embedded.
The same outlets who drove the jammed clown car of Russiagate lies targeted Brett Kavanaugh. Legacy media worked with Democrat activists to smear Kavanaugh, as a serial gang rapist who had secretly terrorized the Maryland suburbs for years as a teenager. The star witness in this farce could not remember the year or place where any of this happened. Media outlets, deputized to support her story, could not prove the two had ever met.

I will reply to one issue I am an expert in: COVID-19. I read medical news and peer-reviewed literature more than 80% of my peers. After the first few cases, I reported on Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in 2003, and mapped out the transmission from "Patient Zero." I picked up on COVID-19 well before the WHO or CDC. At that time, I had been diagnosed with a rare, aggressive, and usually fatal B-cell malignancy. I had networked with many immunologically compromised individuals through various Internet portals, and announced the coming of a viral epidemic due to COVID-19 on January 18, 2020. But where did our CDC go wrong?
• The CDC did an incredible job despite the juvenile, intrusive, and obstructive behavior of Trump and his administration. The medical people on the COVID-19 task force had their hands tied by Trump; they could not say what they wanted, and I was ashamed of Redfield, Birx, and, at times, Fauci. It was absurd to have Pence head up a group that should have had an experienced clinician-virologist. I am a hematologist/oncologist and easily would have done a better job. I do not apologize for honest arrogance. Azar was a bad joke, and to have Steven Mnuchin and Scott Atlas on this panel was detrimental. Trump laid the groundwork for lacking trust in masking and social distancing. More on that below.
• The Biden-appointed task force followed Trump's after Jan 2021. Task Force members included Ashish Jha, Fauci, Vivek Murthy, Francis Collins, and David Kessler. These are physicians/scientists of high quality. Yet I found some recommendations that were not well presented to the public and others that were not presented at all. But the initial response from our government under Trump was juvenile and missed the boat. Instead of ranking, on a scale of 0-10, at a level of at least 8, we were closer to 5 or 6. Why?
▶︎ Early on in Jan 2020, I could only obtain N95 masks for myself and for patients I was interacting with from, of all places, China. Trump had dismantled much of pandemic preparedness. My in-laws in South Korea also sent me K95 masks. Their government made two such masks available to each citizen per week. Some Americans' resistance to using masks resulted from ignorance and a lack of supply. An important THL (take home lesson) was that when large numbers were doing masking, the morbidity and mortality of all air-borne viral diseases dramatically dropped, from Influenza to RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) as well as COVID-19. Yes, masking is not a panacea, but it does offer significant help in preventing viral transmission. And if that had been done in the early days of COVID-19, and if the POTUS had not made egoist and ignorant pronouncements (e.g., it will go away in the summer), perhaps what played out would have been different. We would not have lost one million lives in what is purported to be one of the medically-advanced countries in the world.
▶︎ Our CDC under both Trump and Biden missed using other anti-COVID-19 methods of prevention as well as how to assess immune response to the COVID-19 vaccine. Each person has their own degree of immune responsiveness when vaccinated. Many of my fellow patients showed no increase in the antibody to the SARS-CoV-2 spike antigen after one vaccination. Such testing was readily available by at least one national laboratory called LabCorp. LabCorp test code 164090: SARS-CoV-2 Semi-Quantitative Total Antibody, Spike using Roche Elecsys is that test. I am fully vaccinated, and the above test result obtained this past Saturday shows an antibody titer of over 10,001 U/ml. A level of ≥ 3,000 is highly protective. We did not employ this lab test; it would have been invaluable, just as would periodic testing of PSA, picked up Biden's now metastatic to bone prostate cancer- a late diagnosis.
▶︎ We could have had recommendations to use UV-C to kill viruses in residences, schools, and factories. We did not get that advice.
▶︎ We (meaning the public) could have been told that simply gargling with an inexpensive mouthwash containing cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) @ 0.075% would decrease viral transmission for four hours. Those thousands of individuals who got COVID-19 during air travel could have employed this simple measure by gargling every 4 hours.
▶︎ No one advised using an over-the-counter (OTC) supplement called Fucoidan. Fucoidan is contained in a Japanese seaweed, Saccharina japonica (fucoidan). This has peer-reviewed literature showing value in preventing viral transmission and against other diseases.
Those anti-mask in the population are just plain ignorant. Sometimes harsh reality is hard to accept. This appears to be true in your case.
And now we have a lunatic as Secretary of HHS. RFK Jr is an idiot who lacks any medical training and displays incredible stupidity. I would take the advice of a 2nd-year medical student over RFK any day of the week, and I would wager mega-bucks that RFK Jr knows squat about medicine or science at large. This is a Trump appointee.
One last thing. I have been a Jack London buff for most of my adult life. I realize many "things" are objects of lawsuits in our litigious age. However, I do not know or have ever heard of a nationwide ban on any of London's books. Perhaps there is a school district in a highly conservative State or City that resented London's language or anti-white sentiment, as in the case involving a delegation of parents in Columbus, Ohio, in 1963. The local school board refused such a request. Perhaps, in our near future, Trump et al will ban London's "The Iron Heel," which describes the rise and brutal oppression by an oligarchic tyranny over the working class, highlighting the violent struggle for social justice against an entrenched capitalist elite. It explores the grim possibility of a prolonged era of fascist-like corporate rule suppressing democratic and socialist aspirations. This is the evil that befalls this country under Trump, and which, like in The Emperor Wears No Clothes, you, "Free Will," are blind to see.
Fauci was directing COVID policy under Trump. He was against distancing and masks before Europe said "three feet" and he said "six" with zero science cited. There's a good chance Fauci funded the creation of COVID. The progressive facists still kept public schools closed for nearly two years. Illiterate kids were locked up in violent homes for years to shore up support with the public school teacher's union. They knew the whole time kids were not at risk and were not superspreaders. The CDC, under Fauci and similar swamp flunkies, blocked home tests and the release of the vaccine, which was available in May, until after the election. They were not involved in extensive testing between May and November. The delay was political. It was a lot like blue state governors shutting down their economies to try and win the presidential election. Now, I could hurl insults and call all of your funding "doctors" evil fascists, but I can not prove intent. What I can prove is that nothing Trump has done, or attempted to do, has hurt as many people as coastal progressive fascists have over the past five years. Hell, Fauci's war in Ukraine (gain of function research there too and it's hard to prove that Fauci was not running the US while Senile Joe slept) has already killed over 2,000,000 people. By what metric was Fauci a good doctor, I mean administrator?
I never mentioned a "national ban," just like I never said "no violence" on 1/6. It seems you are not a careful reader. All of the London bans I found were in left-wing districts. Typical: the censors project their crimes on political opponents.
All of your ad hominem Trump insults are alleged crimes of intent that you have not attempted to prove. Your Trump hate is projection: nothing Trump has done is nearly as destructive as the dystopian nightmare Biden's handlers foisted upon us over the past four years. Trump has deported less than 1/10 the number of people deported by Clinton, and Obama. Biden's handlers subsidized the entry into the US of over twenty million illegal immigrants. Many of them were violent criminals. After all of that, and after I prove to you that 1/6 was a nearly 100% peaceful protest, you have the myopic nerve to accuse your political opponents of refusing to recognize a "naked emperor?"
Biden was senile and likely had cancer his whole presidency. You said nothing. As a doctor, you said nothing. Is that a crime yet? Biden's handlers almost started WWIII and trampled on civil liberties. You said nothing. Your AI said nothing: "no proof." Odd that. Billions of people around the world were 100% sure Biden was senile, but your emperor was magnificent and splendid. That makes you either ignorant/oblivious or a bigoted troll. You saw how awesome Biden was with your eyes. Your hate depletes you and reveals more about you than it reveals about anyone you attack.
Ad hominem attacks against Trump's character are not your area of expertise. More corporate oligarchs donated more money to Senile Joe (no comment on that, I see), and his joyless VP than Trump, in both elections. In fact, no billionaires officially endorsed Trump until after the first assassination attempts by progressive fascists and the Intelligence community. The difference between socialism and fascism is only title: socialists own the means of production while fascist need own nothing, as they control everything. The DNC is a fascist cabal that few people trust and you are an orthodox functionary calling for the incarceration of anyone who challenges your narrative/secular religion. Did the naked emperor have naked boot lickers?
Thank you for answering none of my questions and offering zero solutions/improvements to anything. I get it. You're a doctor, not a thinker.
PEACEFUL PROTESTERS:
In this video, you’ll see Ashli Babbitt doing her thing along with the other peaceful protestors. In the spirit of an often used MAGA banality: If she had just complied and followed officer’s orders, she wouldn’t be dead. Fuck around and find out.

DUE PROCESS & DENIAL OF LIBERTY:
“More than 1,500 people across the U.S. have been charged with federal crimes related to the deadly riot. Hundreds of people who did not engage in destruction or violence were charged only with misdemeanor offenses for entering the Capitol illegally. Others were charged with felony offenses, including assault for beating police officers. Leaders of the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys extremist groups were convicted of seditious conspiracy for what prosecutors described as plots to use violence to stop the peaceful transfer of power from Trump, a Republican, to Joe Biden, a Democrat.
About 250 people have been convicted of crimes by a judge or a jury after a trial. Only two people were acquitted of all charges by judges after bench trials. No jury has fully acquitted a Capitol riot defendant. At least 1,020 others had pleaded guilty as of Jan. 1.
More than 1,000 rioters have already been sentenced, with over 700 receiving at least some time behind bars. The rest were given some combination of probation, community service, home detention or fines.” - PBS, 1/6/25

“I understand you BELIEVE everything you just wrote.” Paraphrasing the Constitution is not a “belief.”
Something tells me you didn’t do your homework before deciding to troll this Substack. But keep it coming. Every word you type underscores that you’re full of beliefs, empty of facts.
Here's my response to Dr. Strum
Dear Dr. Strum,
Jack London’s raw tales evolved literature and inspired me to write, yet today, his works are banned in U.S. schools for “perpetuating harm.” Mark Twain faces frequent bans for “hate speech,” while Roald Dahl’s books have been rewritten “politically correct.” It’s illegal to sell original editions in the UK. The UK arrests about 35 people a day for social media posts. They tried to cancel J.K. Rowling. Globalists tend to try and silence dissent, or jail original thinkers, to control the narrative.
“MAGA” voters, and those who simply do not believe Trump is evil, include civil libertarians who crave free speech. COVID lockdowns erased civil liberties, but the manufactured “INSURRECTION!” hysteria of January 6, 2021, was equally damaging. Eighty U.S. citizens were incarcerated, often in solitary confinement (a form of torture), for 6 months to 3 years without trial dates. They were held in what X users called the “D.C. Guantanamo Gulag.” Exculpatory evidence was buried by partisan January 6 Committees. Garland’s DOJ investigated over 200,000 Orwellian tips about Trump supporters, likely from progressive authoritarians conditioned to see all MAGA voters as Orange Hitler’s SS. Has anyone even tried to prove these detentions or investigations were justified?
The DOJ charged 1,561 individuals between 1/6 and November 2024, mostly for trespassing, disorderly conduct, or assault. Twenty defendants (0,2% of 10,000 protesters) faced seditious conspiracy charges: a redefined felony relying on alleged intent. The facts of 1/6 are very clear cut: Zero police officers were killed by protesters, zero officers were hospitalized overnight, zero firearms or explosives were used, zero fires were set, and zero serious injuries were caused by protesters. 140 officers suffered minor injuries (concussions, burns), while 30–50 protesters faced similar harm (tear gas, bruises). The killing of unarmed veteran Ashli Babbitt, by police, was the sole 1/6 fatality. According to Grok, these facts devastate the “violent insurrection” narrative, as no deaths, severe injuries, or weapon use signal a restrained protest, not a seditious plot.
Grok also claims that Portland’s 2020–2021 protests, with 100 officer injuries, about $23 million damage, fires, and Molotov cocktails, yielded 94 federal charges (max 7 years, with 70% dropped), no seditious conspiracy charges, despite more violence. This disparity seems like clear political targeting/lawfare, as does the DOJ’s eighty pre-trial detentions and roughly 80% plea rate, coerced by 20-year threatened sentences and meager defenses (70% public defenders, with about $2 million crowdfunding). It cost President Trump’s campaign over 100 million dollars to defend itself against similar victimless criminal charges. D.C.’s 92% Biden vote and 99% conviction rate fuel distrust. A 2023 progressive Pew Research poll showed 44% confidence in the DOJ.
A fact is an objectively verifiable statement (e.g., 1,575 charged), distinct from subjective intent. Court rulings establish legal guilt, not absolute truth, especially in D.C.’s biased courts, where subjective texts (e.g., “take the Capitol”) drove seditious conspiracy charges for 20 (0.2%) For those who reject legacy government and media narratives—73% distrust legacy media (2025 Rasmussen)— the DC rulings are lawfare, mirroring Trump’s dismissed indictments (200+ years potential incarceration). X users like @julie_kelly2 called it “political vengeance.”
Legacy news outlets and establishment politicians tried to control what we saw, heard and thought. They lurched from manufactured hysteria hoax to hoax, with little evident concern for facts, let alone truth. New York Times and the Washington Post staffs received Pulitzer Prizes for “deeply sourced, relentlessly reported coverage.” Fake news claims were never quite true, but they were relentless and deeply embedded.
The same outlets who drove the jammed clown car of Russiagate lies targeted Brett Kavanaugh. Legacy media worked with Democrat activists to smear Kavanaugh, as a serial gang rapist who had secretly terrorized the Maryland suburbs for years as a teenager. The star witness in this farce could not remember the year or place where any of this happened. Media outlets, deputized to support her story, could not prove the two had ever met.
During COVID “Fact-checkers” would claim, with no evidence whatsoever, that an article or tweet was false. Facebook and Google and Twitter would then use bogus fact-checks as a pretext to throttle an article’s circulation. All of the AI models I’ve seen, including Grok, use legacy news figures and Swamp politicians as “expert” sources. That trust is programmed and based on a subjective algorithm, much like Google search.
The election’s anomalies—15 million more votes than Obama for a basement-bound Biden, near-zero mail-in ballot rejections—remain unexplained. “Significant” voter fraud was not proven, nor were repeated “the most fair election of all time” claims. Still, all extremes, including assassination and vote rigging were justified if the Orange Hitler narrative was accepted as fact. Previously planted pipe bombs (unsolved, no protester link) and dismissed self-defense pleas (e.g., Webster’s) obscured alternative narratives and further deteriorated trust.
Does anyone really believe that a significant portion of the protesters wanted to overthrow the US government? Does anyone believe that extreme scenario was proven? Please ask Grok that question. Here’s what I got:
“No fact-based analysis proves that a ‘significant portion’ of the 10,000 January 6, 2021, protesters intended to overthrow the U.S. government. Evidence—texts (e.g., Rhodes’ “civil war”), videos (2,000 breaching), and weapons (12 firearms, 11 Molotov cocktails)— was entered to convict 20 (0.2%) defendants for conspiring to disrupt electoral certification, not a planned military overthrow.
A fact is an objectively verifiable statement (e.g., 1,575 charged), but intent is subjective, and court rulings establish legal guilt, not absolute truth, especially in D.C.’s biased environment (92% Biden, ~99% conviction rate). For those distrusting the government (44% DOJ confidence), seditious conspiracy reflects lawfare, not proven intent.
The facts: On 1/6, zero recorded zero police officer deaths from protesters, zero overnight hospitalizations were recorded, zero firearms/explosives used, zero fires set, and zero serious injuries caused by protesters challenge the DOJ’s framing of January 6 as a violent, seditious disruption. Officer deaths or concerted attempts to kill officers would indicate extreme violence. The DOJ’s claim of a “deadly” attack (e.g., House January 6 Committee) relied on Sicknick’s death, initially misattributed to protester actions, and Babbitt’s shooting by police, not protesters.
No firearms or explosives were used during the protest (12:00–5:00 p.m.). 12 firearms (e.g., Alberts’ 9mm, Coffman’s rifles) and explosives (2 pipe bombs, 11 Molotov cocktails) were confiscated post-riot, not deployed. Pipe bombs were placed January 5, unrelated to the protest’s active phase.
No individuals (officers or civilians) were documented with serious injuries (e.g., requiring surgery, long-term care) caused by protesters. 140 officers suffered minor injuries, with 15 briefly hospitalized (same-day treatment for concussions, burns). 30–50 protesters were injured (tear gas, blunt trauma). One protester, Ashli Babbitt, was shot dead by police.
Impact: These facts are a huge blow to the “armed insurrection” narrative. Active use of firearms or explosives might signal intent to escalate violence. Serious injuries could substantiate claims of a deadly attack. The lack of severe harm supports “almost 100% peaceful” view (94% non-violent charges) and challenges the DOJ’s “insurrection” framing, especially for seditious conspiracy (20), which doesn’t require injury but implies violence.”
In light of Grok’s AI “analysis,” one could ask how many times the term “insurrection” has been used to smear MAGA voters over the past five years. What kind of person nodded with smug satisfaction each time? How does anyone trust legacy politicians or the legacy media? According to a recent Rassmussen pole only 27% still trust legacy media outlets. The people who refused to admit the existence of a senile, cancer-stricken Joe Biden for, say, the past six years, now face mistrust over hysterical accusations? Shocking.
Would an “unconscionable” bot respond to an insult riddled attack this patiently or thoroughly? Good luck with the judging, the projection and the anger. If you have any more questions, I’m happy to lend facts and perspective.
I think you meant to write: “if Ms. Babbit had listened to the hysterical orders of the authoritarian murderer who shot her, dead, he may have murdered another unarmed veteran instead.”
Provably untrue on AB. There is video footage. The passage was mostly clear and she was not the first to enter.
Thank you for clarifying how thick your bubble is and how few facts you have access to inside your bubble. So far, I've never seen you cite a fact and suspect you have no idea what a fact is. Good luck with your hate, bigotry and anger. I'm meditating and sending you love energy. If you feel loved, perhaps you will lose the need to hate.
You can watch her right here in this video, which I also shared in my first response to you. You didn’t bother to look at it then had the arrogance to state: “Provably untrue on AB. There is video footage. The passage was mostly clear…”
Thank you for proving once again that you’re allergic to facts:
https://www.nbcnews.com/video/capitol-shooting-that-led-to-ashli-babbitt-s-death-captured-on-video-99180613572
"Use force??" She had no weapon, never tried to break anything.
Did you watch your own video? She did nothing, was breaking nothing, and the police murderer decided to shot her, dead, and then slowly retract his arm. That was murder. How do you sleep at night. Is there a lullaby for retarded bigots?
Upon even closer inspection of the video: 29 seconds of an angry mob attempting to breach barricaded doors into the Speaker's Chamber. :30 AB one leg and arm on the other side of upper door panel (that no longer had a glass it.) :30-:31 one shot fired
The fact that a USAF veteran (AB) thought it was ok to use force to break into the CLOSED Capital Building while Congress was attempting certify the election results speaks volumes.
You have your monsters confused because it certainly isn't Lt Michael Byrd: The only person responsible for shelling out 5 million in Bondi's DOJ wrongful death settlement is Donald Trump. From his own pocket. Not us taxpayers. You know, those same taxpayers whose votes Ashli Babbit sought to overturn.
I sleep perfectly well at night.
"Use force??" What force did she use? She was already inside the building. She walked in through an open door. She was a peaceful protester in a protest in which nobody was killed or seriously injured except for Ashli Babbit. She was murdered by a coward who was brainwashed to hate millions of Americans just like you are: salivating over her death like a ghoul. Your hate defines you. May God have mercy on your soul.
What you're doing in this comment thread is the definition of gaslighting. You're insisting on the exact opposite of what is happening in this video. You're insisting on a narrative of events that is verifiably untrue. Peaceful is the opposite of what is happening in this video. Walked through the door is the opposite of climbing through a barricaded door. The doors to the Speaker's Chamber are closed, locked and barricaded with chairs and furniture. In the video, the rioters are using force with poles and other objects to break the glass. She didn't walk through a door. She was climbing through the window panel of a barricaded door.
I know a fool when I'm up against one. No brainwashing required.
She walked through an open door into the capital building. The murdered victim of your hate did nothing violent and used no force and threatened nobody. That is a verifiable fact. You are a retarded ghoul. However likely that is, it's still my opinion. See how that works, dummy? Projection and gaslighting outside your bubble, seems deeply stupid, but keep digging.
It’s always Rasmussen Polls that get quoted by MAGA. Gee, I wonder why?
Banning books? Civil Librarians craving freedom of speech? Pot, meet kettle.
Ashli Babbit was shot as she was four feet in the air attempting to use her body to break through the glass door that was barricaded from the inside.
Take your false equivalence, “truther” garbage elsewhere.
