Trump Hopes Coronavirus Deaths Won’t Hit 100,000

“The models were wrong.” This is gospel among conservatives and libertarians. In much of the Dissident Right, the line was that it was a “hyped-up flu.” In fact, this virus was nothing compared to swine flu. If you thought the virus was more serious than being struck by lightning, you were being hysterical. It’s true […]

What the Proponents of ‘Natural’ Herd Immunity Don’t Say

If we assume the IFR of COVID-19 is 1% and herd immunity is reached when 70% of the population is infected, the epidemic will fade when 2,297,400 Americans have died of COVID-19. New York Times: “The coronavirus moved so rapidly across the globe partly because no one had prior immunity to it. Failure to check […]

Bergamo May Be Close To Herd Immunity

Siero-prevalence of 61% in Bergamo area (Lombardy). They were hit very hard. Same test-kit was used in other (much less hit) Italian areas with much lower results, so test seems reliable and false positives unlikely. https://t.co/fwuFkgt3ZJ— Marco Trizzino (@marcotrizzino) April 30, 2020 prevalence is 61% in the two hardest towns around Bergamo. Result NOT representative […]

Conservatives Are Obsessed With Sweden

I’ve been watching this play out on FOX News. I think I have figured out why Tucker Carlson has recently become so obsessed with Sweden. It is because conservatives and libertarians have always preferred to do nothing about the coronavirus. Back in February, the private equity and hedge fund billionaires who finance Trump made the […]

Herd Immunity After All?

Here in the United States, we are currently in the grip of this idea that somehow we are almost at the end of this after a month long lockdown that has mitigated the virus, but all the evidence suggests not really. CNN: “(CNN) The new coronavirus is likely to keep spreading for at least another […]

Trump Claims Injecting People With Disinfectant Could Treat Coronavirus

Chinese internet users are shocked by President Trump’s surreal idea. Stop messing around, please, some Americans. You have a ruling team led by such a President, and COVID-19 deaths have exceeded 50,000. How can you blame China? pic.twitter.com/6IMCvUyzG9— Hu Xijin ???

How A Virus Can Shake The World

Good take. This is better than anything else I have seen from the Dissident Right which has taken turns comparing the virus to the flu, claiming that lightning strikes are a greater threat and celebrating the death of the elderly. Listen to “How A Virus Can Shake The World” on Spreaker.

The Unmanly Right

This post is ill-advised. I’ll be mocked in the comment section and scoffed at by those it’s directed at. I don’t care. Like when I spoke out against the Yang Gang lunacy, I can no longer silently watch the joke that former members of the Alt-Right are proving themselves to be. For years you’ve criticized […]

If this is the journalism of 2020 we really are doomed

The mainstream media is absolutely butthurt at some of us who keep bringing FACTS to the bushfire debate in Australia. So much so that ABC News decided to push back by inviting a respected scientist to answer the tough questions. The journalist asked, “what do you say to people who present EVIDENCE that we’ve always […]

The Genetic History of the United Kingdom

Skip ahead to 13:00. What does this big recent genetic study tell us about the nations of Britain? The whole island was originally populated by Britons before the arrival of the Romans. The Anglo-Saxon impact on Britain makes up about 10 to 40 percent of English DNA. The Viking impact on the Orkney Islands was […]

How Horses Took Over North America (Twice)

As I have explained, I have started watching and sharing these science videos mainly because of how tiresome and repetitive it gets having to document and explain to our readers for the umpteenth time how liberalism has perverted and degenerated our civilization. I figured this out decades ago. I feel like it robs my attention […]

Greater Adria and The Formation of the Mediterranean Sea

The Tethys Sea used to stretch between Africa and Europe and Asia. The Mediterranean Sea is a remnant of it and has completely evaporated in the past. It used to be a hellish landlocked desert. The Mediterranean Sea will disappear again in the future as Africa collides with Europe and creates a new mountain range […]

It would be nice to find a superhabitable planet.

A Brand New Humanoid Species is Discovered in a Cave

Nine species of humans? Race is a social construct though. There is only one race the human race. National Post: “Nine human species walked the Earth 300,000 years ago. Now there is just one.
