The inevitable string of consistently being on the low side of a teeter-totter is like the title of the 1984 recording by Phil Collins from a movie of the same name …. Against All Odds.

If anything or anybody was invariably a prototype for a bear market, that person or thing would not be around for long now, would they? Most would answer, “no,”  … but au contraire, there are actually two entities that continue to defy gravity, so to speak. And the winners are … the Mainstream Media and Public Education.

An interesting  recent quote by Andrew Sullivan from the Weekly Dish:

“2016 election. Rittenhouse. Covington. Russian collusion. Vaccines. Bounties on US soldiers. Lab-leak theory. Jussie Smollett. The Pulse shooting. The Atlanta shootings. Hunter Biden laptop. Inflation. Steele Dossier. The [Mainstream Media] got every single one wrong.”

This is indeed ‘Against All Odds,’ and yet MSM not only continues to survive but it is also like a Bible for liberal America. What will be the next faux pas for MSM? – Wait a day or two!

The other entity that is a consistent loser, but continues to survive is Public Education in America where a substantial portion of children “educated” in our large cities cannot do basic math or read and understand what’s in the newspaper. During the pandemic kids were kept out of schools at the behest of teacher’s unions, and the MSM backed these policies. How’s that turning out?

From the NY Post:

When teachers unions forced schools to close and the Biden administration allowed union leaders like Randi Weingarten to craft Centers for Disease Control and Prevention policy to make sure they stayed that way, some of us argued that treating schools as inconsequential would have consequences.

“Kids are resilient, we were told. They’ll be fine. So what if they sat at home for a year staring at a screen with no interaction with their peers? And so what if they were forced to do this when all the science said they should be in actual school? They’d bounce right back when Weingarten finally gave the OK for school to resume. It would be just that easy.

But it turns out the people who have been wrong about everything else were wrong about this too.

“The education Web site Chalkbeat reported in late September, ‘Schools across the country say they’re seeing an uptick in disruptive behaviors. Some are obvious and visible, like students trashing bathrooms, fighting over social-media posts or running out of classrooms. Others are quieter calls for help, like students putting their head down and refusing to talk.’

Where is the resilience we were promised?

We’ve treated kids like mini-robots who can be turned off for social settings and then on again, and they have sustained real damage from 20 months of being managed as an afterthought.

The stress kids are under is not because of the pandemic, it’s because of our response to the pandemic. Our leaders, doing the teachers unions’ bidding, disregarded all science showing kids were low risk.”

So they were wrong again, Against All Odds, but they are consistent, and they now want to add two years of universal preschool. How will that go?  In my estimation the chance for success is … Against All Odds!

Albert Einstein supposedly said, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” 

For sure Einstein does not live in California … yes, I  know that Einstein died in 1955. Furthermore, I know that Einstein does not live in Santa Cruz County, California … yes, I know that he is still dead.

Like Rip Van Winkle, only those who have been asleep for twenty years do not realize that California is very liberal and of the various places in California, Santa Cruz is extremely liberal. 

At present Santa Cruz is experiencing a Covid “surge,” and so in true Einsteinian fashion they went back to their hackneyed playbook

As of 11/21/21, both people who have been vaccinated against COVID-19 and those who have not are required to wear face coverings indoors. Business and governmental entities are being told to require their employees to wear masks and to post signage at points of entry for their indoor settings to alert the public of the mask requirement. (As I recall,we have done this before … where’s the twist?) It’s the same-o-same-o way of dealing with Covid, and this in a county that has among the highest COVID-19 vaccination rates of any county in California, with 70.8% of the population fully vaccinated, according to the CDC.

Hmmm. A place with a very high vaccination rate is now having a “surge.” As I recall we have been here and done this before. However for the holiday festivities, Santa Cruz County has added a twist.

“Unfortunately, a potential winter surge appears to be a significant threat to the health and safety of our community,” Santa Cruz County Health Officer Dr. Gaill Newel said in a statement.

“As we look forward to spending time with those we love during the holidays, it is important to protect vulnerable friends and family members by wearing a mask indoors,” Newel said.

From now on during the upcoming holiday season, in Santa Cruz, people in private settings — including their own homes — are required to wear masks if they are visited by anyone outside of their households. 

I can only imagine how much fun a family Thanksgiving dinner will be in Santa Cruz.

However, in fairness, Looney Tunes is not limited to Santa Cruz. Whereas 

 I initially thought the following was from the Babylon Bee, it was from the NYT. An “expert” in answer to a question about Thanksgiving safety when combining fully vaccinated adults (some triple vaxxed) and children younger than twelve (partially vaxxed) said … “You could have the kids wear masks, eat quickly and stay away from the older adults when eating.” Think about that “expert advice” for just a minute. No conversation. Just eat quickly! I am sure some other “experts” are advising that children eat in a separate room, perhaps even in the garage. Speaking of garages another “expert” recommended hors d’ oeuvres in the open garage combined with Covid testing before entering the house … “You could make a game of it!”

So when the aunts, uncles, and cousins come over, no one will recognize anybody and no one will be able to understand what anybody is saying because of the masks. That should be a real festive time!

In closing to those who live in Santa Cruz and to many who read the NYT, “Happy Mask-giving!”

On 11/19/21 Kyle Rittenhouse was found not guilty by a jury in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and on 11/22/21, Kyle Rittenhouse was interviewed on the Tucker Carlson Show on Fox. Right from the git-go, let’s set the record straight, I do not usually watch Tucker Carlson. I do not usually watch Fox News. In fact I do not watch much TV at all, but I wanted to watch the interview of Kyle Rittenhouse, because I knew next to nothing about him. Very sporadically I had watched parts of his trial, and this usually happened when I was at the gym, where I could not hear anything that was being said. More pertinent, I did not watch the trial when he was on the stand. A few days into the trial a basically conservative friend of mine commented that Kyle Rittenhouse was a white supremacist. When I asked him if he had he been following the case, he responded, “Only in the paper.” To me that accounted for nothing because our local “paper” does not even pretend to report unopinionated news. However, I could not adequately respond to any description of his character or defend or deny the accusation that he was or wasn’t a white supremacist because I did not know much about Kyle Rittenhouse.

On 11/22/21 we had company and so I could not watch the Tucker Carlson interview. Fortunately I was able to record it, and last night, after my wife had retired, I watched it. 

Wow! I was blown away by Kyle Rittenhouse. Intelligent, calm, well-spoken, not bitter, hard working, compassionate … we’re just a few of the adjectives I would now use to describe him. If you did not have the opportunity to watch this interview … watch it! I’ll bet that you also will be suitably impressed.

Most of us can recall a phrase that was spoken back on Mar 23, 2012 — “If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.” President Obama said that when talking about Trayvon Martin. Irrespective of why he said it, and irrespective of who Trayvon Martin was, that phrase made me think. In general, what are the qualities that any he/she would like his/her children to have.

 From now on whenever anyone says anything about Kyle Rittenhouse, I will ask if they watched his interview on Tucker Carlson. If they say, ‘no,’ I will then respond, “If I had another son, he’d look like Kyle.”

Furthermore, if you are not buying what I’m selling, watch the interview. I guarantee that after you do that, you also will be in the checkout line seeing if you can buy two!

As all are probably aware Kyle Rittenhouse tried to raise money for his defense and was denied by gofundme, which quoted their “high and mighty” set of rules prohibiting any funding for a legal defense of a violet crime … “GoFundMe’s Terms of Service prohibit raising money for the legal defense of an alleged violent crime.”

However before further responses to that tweet could be completely prohibited and those already posted taken down very quickly, there were multiple responses pointing out gofundme’s hypocrisy:

From Andy Ngo:

“If this is true, why did you donate $500 to Riot Kitchen last year? The Seattle group was arrested by federal agents after being observed filling up multiple fuel cans with gasoline & driving into #Kenosha. Police said the Riot Kitchen group tried escaping in their minivan.”

From Ezra Levant:

Out of curiosity, I searched your site for legal defenses for alleged violent crimes. Here’s an example I found in less than 60 seconds: https://gofundme.com/f/legal-defense-for-carlton-naughton-jr?qid=226a53b5825fb44d23cd9b8cebc379ed…

Are you sure that’s your policy?

Again from Ezra Levant:

GoFundMe deleted the example I gave. Here are dozens more: https://gofundme.com/s?q=legal%20defense… It’s almost like they’re making it up.

(FYI, I tried to look up this first example … indeed it had been deleted! …Hmmm!)

After failing with the first reference, I tried to look up this last reference, and this time was successful. There are indeed multiple multiple examples. The following is the first one that I looked at randomly: 

“Hello my name is Lansana Saccoh host of The Hidden Truth on social media platforms, I am raising a legal defense fund for a 15 years old young girl in Sierra Leone by the name of Isha Conteh who fought off a 45 years old male aggressor who was attempting to rape her, but the man was found dead after she struggled to  free herself from his forceful sexual  penetration. Isha, the 15 years old girl in this traumatic situation, sustained physical bodily injuries because of his aggressive behavior that includes but not limited to biting her on her breast and her back. Isha is currently in police custody/cell awaiting court appearance or proceedings. It is befitting in this case considering she is a 15 years old minor to not only choose who she wants to be with in any capacity, but to also self defend herself when her life is in danger. Please help mount a vigorous legal defense on her behalf by donating to the GoFundMe account open in her name, as a legal defense fund.”

This certainly seems eerily similar to Kyle Rittenhouse’s situation … a minor (15 years old) who fought off an attacker in self defense, and in fighting off the attacker, killed the attacker. 

Hmmm, seems like flagrant hypocrisy to me.

Interestingly, Isha Conteh is a black female and Kyle Rittenhouse is a white male … pure coincidence I am sure!

One would think the men of the cloth would be familiar with the Bible, especially when it comes to the poor.

“The righteous care about justice for the poor, but the wicked have no such concern.” (Proverbs 29:7)

“Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.” (Psalm 82: 3-4)

“It is a sin to despise one’s neighbor, but blessed is the one who is kind to the needy.” (Proverbs: 14-21)

So how is it that the disciples of global warming sect find it okay to push for “green sources of energy” that inevitably will harm the poorest of the poor among us? How is it that those on the left can flippantly choose those green policies that will inevitably harm the poor?

Closing down a pipeline will assuredly and predictably cause energy prices to rise. This is not rocket science! Why do liberals cheer this when the poor will be harmed the most? 

If my house gets cold in the winter, I can merely turn up the thermostat. Granted, I do not like paying more for heat, but I can afford it. But what happens when the home of a poor person gets cold? I suppose that he or she can also just turn up the thermostat … that is, if he/she does not want to eat.

When the price of gas goes way up as it has done recently, I can merely drive less as I am retired. However what happens to that less fortunate person who has to work to eat, and has to drive to work? I suppose that he can stop driving to work … and consequently stop eating, or he can continue driving to work even though the gas prices are astronomical … and stop eating. With no viable alternative which Hobson’s choice should he take? 

Perhaps we should ask a liberal, and better yet ask a liberal of the cloth who should be familiar with what the Bible says on how we should treat the poor. Perhaps we should ask the Bishop of San Diego, Robert McElroy, who appears to be a big backer of the liberal green agenda. 

(FYI: You can ask all you wish, but do not expect a response. I have been emailing Bishop McElroy for the past ten months, and have never received a response from him … I swear on the Bible.)

Recently that same Bishop McElroy criticized a document draft by the U.S. bishops on social spending, saying that it was “weak” on fossil fuels and should have included language about divesting from oil in order to slow climate change. …”Damn the tragic consequences for the poor; full speed ahead!”

Feasibly, because he never has to drive anywhere, and he lives in San Diego where it doesn’t get very cold in the winter, he is unfamiliar with what is happening to the poor, because of the present liberal green energy policies.

Perhaps the honorable Bishop of San Diego is also not familiar with how the President of Uganda views the forcing of green energy upon the African continent and consequently on the African people. Uganda President Yoweri K. Museveni has rejected the Western push for dropping traditional fuels in the name of fighting climate change, arguing that the policies “force poverty on Africa” and tend to endanger the safety and wellbeing of the poorest of the poor.”

Here we are again  … “the poorest of the poor,” and the lack of a coherent response from liberals like Bishop McElroy, who we would expect to be familiar with how God expects all of us to act towards them … Hmmm! 

BTW: Best of luck to Bishop McElroy in his upcoming open heart surgery. Even though I do not agree with his politics, May God be with him.

“He has a reputation for having good days and bad days — I’ve heard the word ‘mercurial’ used to describe him,” said Dan Adams, a former prosecutor in Milwaukee County and now a defense attorney. “But he is old school, literally and figuratively.”

Mr. Adams is referring to Kenosha County Circuit Judge Bruce Schroeder,

as “old school?” As most of us are aware Judge Schroeder is the judge who presided over the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse. 

What is the background of Judge Bruce Schroeder?

He graduated from Marquette University as an undergraduate in 1967, and subsequently graduated from Marquette Law School in 1971. (As an aside, neither my wife nor myself recall meeting Bruce Schroeder even though his time at Marquette University overlapped with ours.)

After law school Judge Schroeder spent time as an Assistant D.A., a D.A. and then a private law practitioner before being appointed a judge by the then Democratic Wisconsin Governor, Anthony Earl, in 1983. 

He is the longest-serving circuit court judge in Wisconsin, and his present term expires in 2026. He has acknowledged that some topics raised in pretrial hearings were new to him, and said that until this case, he hadn’t heard of the Proud Boys, which had offered to support Rittenhouse.

Schroeder is known for his businesslike approach and was able to impanel a jury for the Rittenhouse trial in one day. He has a reputation as a no-nonsense judge who is not afraid to voice his displeasure to attorneys arguing their cases in his courtroom. Thus … “old school!”

What do some attorneys who have worked with him say about him?

“His word is final and he’s not afraid to make tough decisions,” Dan Adams, a Wisconsin criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor, told CNN.

Another attorney commented, “Judge Schroeder is not a pro-defense judge. He’s a very tough judge. … But he’s going to give you a fair trial.”

“I’d say he is more pro-defense than pro-prosecution in trial,” said Chris Rose, a second-generation criminal defense lawyer in Kenosha who has appeared before Schroeder ‘hundreds of times.’ “The rulings he has made so far in the Rittenhouse trial are consistent with what he has done in the past.”

Was Schroeder fair in this case?

Obviously the crybaby left will say, “no.”

Joy Reid of MSNBC commented, “In the Rittenhouse case, the 13th juror was the judge.”

However, as Cam Edwards pointed out … “if that was actually true, the case never would have gone to the jury to begin with. Judge Bruce Schroeder had every reason to grant a mistrial based on the prosecution’s behavior, but he didn’t do so. Instead, he handed the case over to the jurors, and even during deliberations let them view the drone footage that defense attorneys had objected to.”

Is Judge Schroeder being threatened?

From the Washington Examiner:

“The judge presiding over Kyle Rittenhouse’s homicide trial is receiving hundreds of emails threatening him and even his children.

The Kenosha County Courthouse received threatening emails, letters, postcards, and faxes accusing Wisconsin Judge Bruce Schroeder of racism and asking him to resign in addition to warnings about Rittenhouse’s safety if he is acquitted by a jury. There were also threats against the judge’s children, according to the Daily Mail .“

Still from the Washington Examiner … Schroeder noted that there have been “thousands of communications” that he and his staff have received in the course of the trial. He promised he would “deal with” the senders. “I wouldn’t want to be those people,” he said.

Again …”old school.”

“KYLE RITTENHOUSE … NOT GUILTY ON ALL CHARGES”

As a friend of mine said, “HALLELUJAH! Not guilty on all charges. Our legal system is still capable of working.”

Finally, twelve jurors and a judge with courage. Certainly, in response to this unanimous verdict, many on the left will go bananas. One wonders how careful they will now be when voicing their response to this Rittenhouse verdict, and to the young man himself, compared to what many of them were saying before and during the trial?

Prior to the verdict in an interview on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends,” Wendy Rittenhouse, the mother of Kyle Rittenhouse, was asked if the Rittenhouse team plans to take any action against powerful Americans — including Joe Biden — for “interfering in the justice system” and “defaming” the 18-year-old Rittenhouse.

The elder Rittenhouse had a six word response.

“Our lawyers are gonna handle that,” Wendy Rittenhouse responded.

In 2020, then-presidential candidate Biden tweeted a video of alleged examples of white supremacy with audio from a presidential debate between Biden and then-President Donald Trump. The video included an image of Rittenhouse.

Kyle Rittenhouse’s mother, Wendy Rittenhouse explained what she felt when she saw Biden’s tweet.

“When I saw that, I was shocked,” she said. “I was angry. President Biden don’t know my son whatsoever, and he’s not a white supremacist. He’s not a racist. And [Biden] did that for the votes. And I was so angry for a while at him and what he did to my son. He defamed him.”

My advice: “Sue the bastard!”

Meanwhile, somewhat similarly, CBS News rendered its own verdict on 11/11 in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial by saying the defendant “testified” that he “murdered two men” amid protests and rioting in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last year.

Both Fox News and Mediaite reported that CBS News deleted its initial tweet.

But the internet is forever — and here is an image of the tweet in question, which reads, “Kyle Rittenhouse testified in his murder trial yesterday, breaking down in tears as he told the jury he murdered two men at a Black Lives Matter protest last year in self-defense.”

Again, a lot of Rittenhouse coverage and commentary is straight up libelous,” Mark Hemingway, senior writer at RealClearInvestigations, tweeted about the network’s “murdered two men” faux pax.

“Somebody obviously forgot what happened after the media falsely accused that youngster from Covington Catholic in KY. Apparently CBS has deep enough pockets that they won’t have a problem settling with Kyle Rittenhouse for millions, too.”

My advice: “Sue the bastards!”

Former Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz blasted liberal media outlets such as CNN and the New Yorker over the prior weekend for their biased and erroneous reporting on the Kyle Rittenhouse trial. “If I were a juror, I would vote that there was reasonable doubt [and] that he did act in self-defense,” Dershowitz told Newsmax.

“Then he’ll bring lawsuits, and that’s the way to answer … vigilante justice is what CNN is doing, not what a 17-year-old kid under pressure may have done right or wrong. It’s CNN who is involved in vigilante justice. It’s the New Yorker that’s guilty of vigilante justice,” he added.

“The idea is to make the media accountable for deliberate and willful lies,” Dershowitz explained.

My advice: “Sue the bastards!”

MSNBC has insulted and defamed Mr. Rittenhouse on multiple occasions – actually too many for me to realistically list here. … Multiple commentators, multiple times.

My advice: “Sue the bastards!”

“Residents and business people want parking. There is a real disconnect between the policies the city is pursuing, and what the voters want.” This was spoken by a local resident in response to a new law enacted by the San Diego City Council that eliminates parking requirements for businesses located near mass transit or in small plazas near dense residential areas. A group of neighborhood leaders from across the city voted 21-3 against these proposed changes when they were first unveiled last Spring. … but obviously our City Council knows what is best for all of us.

This new policy is an addendum of sorts onto an action they took two years ago eliminating parking requirements for new condominium and apartment complexes located near mass transit. Who in their right would buy a condo or rent an apartment that didn’t provide for parking? How would those new condo or apartment residents ever get their kids to school, visit their parents, go to the beach, or attend a movie or a play without a car. A real disconnect!

This is in addition to our trusted City Council recently eliminating parking along 30th Street. 30th Street has a lot of restaurants. These parking spaces were eliminated for bike lanes! The last time I tried to go to a restaurant on 30th, I could not find a parking space within a reasonable walking distance to my targeted restaurant, and so I returned home. A real disconnect!

Presently 25% of the population in San Diego is older than 55 years old. As the years go by all of these people will be getting older with a whole new bunch will be entering into the over 55 age group every year. How many of them are going to walk more than a block or two to go out to dinner? … Not many! How many of them are going to walk to the local market and carry home their groceries? … None! Similarly myriads of small businesses will lose potential customs if there is no local parking. How many? … certainly a large portion of those over 55 will find someplace else to do their shopping.

Again a real disconnect!

Remember these sorts of diktats are made by “those who know best,” and “want to protect the climate.” Now I do not personally know any of those who now are on the San Diego City Council, but dollars to doughnuts there is likely an big disconnect between what they advocate for us residents and what they actually do themselves. I would wager that none of the City Council presently ride mass transit, and my guess is that most of them likely have never ridden mass transit in San Diego. In conclusion, how does one spell the “do what I say, not what I do” San Diego City Council?

D-I-S-C-O-N-N-E-C-T!

As one retired California nurse asked of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors, “Why do the protected need to be protected from the unprotected by forcing the unprotected to use the protection that didn’t protect the protected in the first place?”

Wow! That’s quite a mouthful! Initially it sounds like a modern version of “If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, how many pickled peppers did Peter Piper pick?” … but when read carefully it is actually pretty profound. Substitute “the vaccinated” for “the protected,” and substitute “the unvaccinated” for “the unprotected,” and read it again-  slowly. In essence ‘those who know best’ seem to be playing a game similar to pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey … blindfolded! I am finding it difficult  to follow the logic of what is going on these days with the somewhat arbitrary recommendations concerning vaccinations and the accompanying mandates. At this point it would seem that conventional wisdom as well as common sense should be saying … “Stop!”

The other thing that is not talked about any more is Sweden. To my way of thinking, if something is not being talked about with Covid, it oftentimes means that what is happening is going against the wisdom of “those that know best.” For those not aware, early on in the pandemic Sweden defied what was passing as conventional wisdom back then. Sweden had very loose restrictions with no lockdowns and no masks. For upwards to a year Sweden was mocked by “those that know best,” because it was having more cases … but now no one is alluding to or mentioning Sweden. Why??

Right now Sweden, Iceland, Denmark, Norway, Belgium, and even Singapore have approximately the same portion of their population vaccinated. However when you compare the number of new cases of Covid per million people, Sweden’s curve is flat and the number of new cases is considerably below that of the other countries just mentioned.

More specifically when comparing two countries that have similar vaccination curves (Sweden and Ireland – with Ireland jabbing an even greater percentage of its population), the results are amazing.

Daily confirmed new Covid cases per million are dramatically higher in Ireland (~800) compared to Sweden (~100). Obviously the only reasonable explanation for this dichotomy is the significantly increased number of Swedes who have natural immunity as a consequence of Sweden’s policies early on.

So here it appears that the country which did not protect its citizens early on (“Sweden’s unprotected”), now, has a dramatically decreased number of new cases, because a lot of the population is now “protected” because of natural immunity.

While I do not recall ever accusing Democrats of thinking logically, this could be a first. Everyone who is paying any attention realizes that Biden’s virtual open border policy has been a disaster with thousands and thousands of illegals attempting to cross our southern border daily. Biden and his fellow Democrat cronies apparently feel that these millions of illegals will morph into reliable votes for Democratic politicians. At this point since Biden has stopped any funding for the completion of the border wall, the only hindrance to the ongoing illegal invasion is the 19,536 Border Patrol Agents (CBP).

From HotAir:

“The deadline for federal employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19 is November 22. Federal employees who are not vaccinated, or obtain an exemption, by that date are subject to termination. It’s hard to imagine a worse time to lose a substantial amount of border patrol agents than during the Biden Border Crisis.

Former chief operating officer of CBP from 2019 to 2021, Mark Morgan, obtained a document from a source inside CBP. The leaked document shows nearly half of CBP agents have not registered their COVID vaccination status and 10% of those who have registered have not received a shot. The federal mandate issued by Biden may result in the loss of over half of border patrol agents.”

Aah, now I get it! 

By mandating vaccines for CBP agents, Biden is pretty much assuring that there will be a significant decrease in the number of Border Patrol Agents and will be able to say, “The border being porous is not my fault because many border patrol agents have refused an official presidential order.” To Joe it doesn’t matter that many of these CBP agents may have already had Covid because of their interactions with illegals. To Joe it doesn’t really matter why individual CBP agents have refused the vaccine.

Is it possible that Joe and his fellow Dems were counting on the CBP agents to show some backbone? You see this way they can blame the agents for the ongoing mess.

Aah, now I get it!

In addition, Congressional Democrats are looking at steep budget cuts to CBP . A Senate appropriations bill in October allocated less than the current funding for the fiscal year 2022 – even less than Biden requested. The defund ICE progressives are being appeased. It looks like the consequences of Biden’s federal mandate will assist in their efforts.

Aah, now I get it … even more!
