  • Another US Ebola Case

    Well, we now have another case of Ebola in America. And this time, our      DC clown krewe’s      Nero-esque imperial regime      illustrious current Administration’s policies – or lack thereof – are IMO directly to blame.

    The case turned up in an an American doctor, identified as Craig Spencer, who returned from Guinea in West Africa about a week ago. He’d been working there with the NGO Médecins Sans Frontières, AKA Doctors Without Borders.

    The individual reportedly began “feeling sluggish” on Tuesday. However, he nonetheless continued meeting with friends and was “out and about” until he developed more obvious symptoms on Wednesday of this week. He then began “self-quarantine” on Wednesday. Yesterday he went to the hospital with a high fever and nausea.  Preliminary testing last night indicates it is indeed Ebola.

    Where is this new Ebola case, you ask? NYC. Yeah – THAT NYC. It’s only the largest metro area in the USA.

    So, being a doctor, he was erring on the side of public safety, self-isolating since his return, to protect the public – just in case he was incubating the disease,  right? Um, well . . . here’s an account from local health officials concerning the guy’s activities this week:

    City officials say Spencer acknowledged riding multiple subway lines and taking a cab to a Brooklyn bowling alley called “The Gutter” in the past week before he started showing symptoms. He also visited the High Line park and went on a three-mile jog.

    The city’s health commissioner, Mary Bassett, said Spencer’s fiancé and two friends had been quarantined. The city has also been in contact with an Uber driver who drove Spencer, but said the two did not have direct contact.

    According to a rough timeline provided by city officials, the doctor’s symptoms developed Wednesday, prompting him to isolate himself in his apartment.

    Hmm. “Feeling sluggish” on Tuesday, but his “symptoms developed Wednesday”? That ain’t quite adding up, folks.

    This new US Ebola outbreak is brought to courtesy of those clueless fools who put feeling good, political correctness, and not offending people ahead of protecting the public and their nation. At the risk of restating the truly obvious: had the current Administration taken the blindingly-obvious, common-sense measure of placing this man in mandatory 21-day isolation prior to or on returning from the USA from the Ebola outbreak area we wouldn’t be sweating another domestic Ebola outbreak today. But apparently we can’t do that; that might inconvenience someone or hurt their feelings.

    Gee thanks, Mr. President. Are you “getting it” yet?

    Hang on to your hats, folks – and if you’re so inclined, maybe pray. Because this ride could very easily turn bumpy as hell now.

  • Remember, You Can’t Get Ebola From Riding On A Bus . . . .

    It seems the POTUS wants us all to remember that. He reminded us of that again just this past Saturday.

    Well, then, pray tell: why – at that recent Pentagon Ebola scare, which apparently thankfully turned out to be a false alarm – did authorities hunt down the bus after it departed? And why did they temporarily detain and quarantine the tour bus and its passengers? I mean, that all happened the day before the POTUS gave us the reminder.

    Sheesh. Do I even need to check Accuweather to see if my leg is wet because it’s raining? Nah, I didn’t think so.

  • Why Am I Not Surprised?

    On Friday the World Bank declared that the fight against Ebola is being “lost”. The POTUS appointed an Ebola “czar” with no medical or public health background. And the chief executive for the semi-Communist left-leaning, “Progressive”, multinational, corporate-style NGO and “anti-poverty aid agency” called Oxfam claimed that Ebola “could become the definitive humanitarian disaster of our generation” – while calling for more government resources to be devoted to the crisis, of course.

    Nothing unexpected in any of that, really. On the contrary: all was very predictable.

    So, what did our illustrious POTUS do yesterday? Yeah, you guessed it: he went golfing with some guy from ESPN.

    I wish I could say that’s unexpected or not predicted. But with this POTUS? Um, no – not unexpected, and also very predictable.

    I seem to remember at least one other major historical figure famously was accused of engaging in his preferred recreational activities during a major crisis. Even though the accusation may well be false – historical accounts differ on that point – history didn’t treat him all that well. The phrase “fiddle while Rome burns” is today synonymous with both “disconnected, uncaring leadership” and “dereliction of duty”.

    Sound like anyone we know?



  • For Your Reading “Pleasure”

    For Your Reading “Pleasure”

    We now bring to you another in the never-ending series of “WTF Moments” concerning the US response to the West African Ebola Outbreak, courtesy of the       fools and tools      DC clown krewe      clueless jackasses     idiots in charge     current Administration.


    Obama Plans to Let Ebola-infected
    Foreigners Into US for Treatment

    Yeah, that REALLY passes the “common sense” test.  And I just love how the plan involves bypassing Federal law – and is allegedly being kept secret from Congress.

    Idiocy.  Sheer freaking idiocy.



  • More Ebola “Good News”

    A few more news stories explaining why we should all certainly take the “don’t worry – we got this”      PC propaganda      idiocy      fairy tales      bullsh!t       pronouncements of the CDC and current Administration officials concerning Ebola at face value.

    And, in a story that’s certainly guaranteed to make you feel “really happy and safe”:

    I wouldn’t recommend anyone panic, but the last linked article is IMO a fair discussion of the “worst case” possibilities. It’s worth reading, even considering the source.  Because if the tools and fools calling the shots in DC don’t wake up and start taking effective measures – and a few things go wrong – the country could indeed end up in seriously deep sh!t.

    Are you listening yet, Mr. President? You might want to – this has the potential to interrupt your weekly round(s) of golf!

    Sheesh.

     


  • Ebola Response at Pentagon

    Earlier today, a woman who had recently returned from Sierra Leone became ill and vomited in the Pentagon’s South Parking lot.  She was there on a tour bus.

    She was transported to Inova Fairfax Hospital; a temporary quarantine tent was reported at the entrance.  Unconfirmed reports indicate she and and 4 emergency response personnel have been held at the hospital.

    The incident at this time is being treated as a possible Ebola case.  Ebola has NOT – repeat, NOT – yet been confirmed.

    Hazmat teams have responded to the scene.  Portions of the Pentagon South Parking lot have been closed.  The Pentagon South Entrance was also closed.

    Great.  Just f**king great.

     

  • Biden family news

    Biden family news

    Joe Biden, Hunter Biden

    My inbox filled up with emails last night about Hunter Biden who pissed hot on a urinalysis in May 2013, a mere month after he was commissioned in the Navy. He was allowed to stick around and get paid while they were booting his 43-year-old ass. I have to wonder a lot of things about this news. First of all, what is a 43-year-old doing joining the Navy in the first place? Second of all, why did it take nine months to put his ass out on the street? Thirdly, why are we just hearing about it now? I guess it’s not a distraction or anything.

    If Joe Biden was my father, I’d probably be a coke head, too, so I’m not all that surprised, but, this scandal will probably die pretty soon. He apologized, according to CNN;

    “It was the honor of my life to serve in the U.S. Navy, and I deeply regret and am embarrassed that my actions led to my administrative discharge. I respect the Navy’s decision. With the love and support of my family, I’m moving forward,” he said.

    It was probably PTSD that made him do it, I’m sure it was a failure of the military health care system or something equally stupid, instead of being a wealthy, privileged trust fund baby who is old enough to know better than to go stepping on his appendage.

    I’ll admit that I didn’t believe the story at first, thinking that we’re being set up, but then I realized that this was the son of Joe Biden, the smartest man on the planet, so he probably coked-up because he couldn’t live up to the example that his father set for him. Or something. At least he didn’t kill anyone…yet.

    ADDED: The Associated Press reports the “good news” for young Hunter that Connecticut doesn’t consider his boot from the Navy Reserve serious enough to review his membership in the state bar;

    Lawyers in Connecticut face automatic review of their bar admission only when they have been convicted of a crime, said Michael P. Bowler, Connecticut’s Statewide Bar Counselor, who heads a team of lawyers that investigate attorney grievances. Criminal convictions have to be reviewed by a statewide grievance committee, as do other complaints, which can range from drug and alcohol abuse to inadequate legal representation.

    “At this point, I’m not aware that Mr. Biden has been arrested for anything, and certainly not convicted,” Bowler said. The Navy’s brief confirmation of Biden’s discharge did not cite any arrest or charges.

    I’m sure any future clients of the cokehead will be pleased as shit.

  • How Has Most of Africa Avoided Ebola?

    We all know about the West Africa Ebola outbreak that’s ravaging Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone.  There’s also a smaller outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo; that outbreak appears to be contained now, and is unrelated to and over 1000 miles away from the West Africa outbreak.

    And yet, we’re not seeing massive spread of Ebola to other countries in Africa.  Cote d’Ivoire, Mali, and Guinea-Bisseau – all nations in the immediate vicinity of the West African Ebola outbreak – have no cases.  And the two nations that did initially record secondary spread, Senegal and Nigeria, have each contained their outbreaks and will be declared Ebola-free by WHO NLT Monday barring any new cases appearing there.

    How did Senegal, a nation next to Guinea, end up with fewer Ebola cases than the US?  And how did the rest of Africa avoid the spread of Ebola from the West African outbreak so far?

    Well, IMO here’s your answer – in “Powerpoint hell” bullet-point style:

     

    • TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS

    • BORDER CLOSURES

    • LUCK

     

    You see, in much of Africa they actually understand how deadly this Ebola crap can be.  So they treat it accordingly – like the deadly threat it is.  Governments there don’t worry about offending some group of “special little snowflakes” because they’re being “mean”.  They do what’s required to protect themselves.

    And even then, they know they’ve been damn lucky so far.

    What they don’t do is treat an Ebola outbreak like a pawn in a political game,  some humanitarian feelgood exercise, or something minor like the common cold.  Because Ebola freaking isn’t any of those.  It’s an incurable, relatively easily transmitted disease for which no vaccine exists that generally kills 50+% of those it infects.

    The AP has a good story discussing how African nations next door to the outbreak (and elsewhere on the continent) have remained Ebola-free – or beaten it after it was introduced by travelers. It’s excellent reading.

    You need to sit down and read that article, Mr. President.  And then you need to take it to heart – and direct the implementation of similar measures here in the US immediately.  Otherwise, well . . . .
