As Bishop Joseph Butler said in 1736, "probability is the very guide of life."
The coronavirus has generated more blind fear than perhaps any other event in recorded history. That fear is blind because it ignores easily calculated probabilities.
The reported coronavirus deaths in the U.S. now stand at six hundred thousand. The population of the U.S. is approximately 330 million. When you divide deaths by the population, the number is less than two-tenths of one percent. As catastrophes go, that is a relatively small number.
There is a wide disparity of coronavirus deaths among age groups. That fact has been deliberately ignored

A community in Atlanta has decided to separate from the city and create its own police force. Bill White, the Buckhead City Committee CEO, said the decision comes as crime in Atlanta has skyrocketed and police are not being properly funded.
White told Bill Hemmer on "America's Newsroom" that he estimates nearly 80 percent of his community will vote in favor of the separation.
"We have two bills in the Georgia legislature dropping in January to decide this referendum ballot," White said.
"We filed our divorce papers at the city of Atlanta, and our divorce is final."
White said Atlanta Mayor Keisha Bottoms’ policies have emboldened criminals

A Foreign Fellow of the U.S. National Academy of Medicine, she is also a Fellow of all three of India’s science academies.
Within the WHO, the role of the science division, which she heads, is to ensure the organization “stays ahead of the curve and leverages advances in science and technology for public health and clinical care, as well as ensuring that the norms

Nickelodeon always had edgy cartoons for the older set (see, e.g., Ren and Stimpy), but there was a time when you could rely on it for sweet, simple programming aimed at pacifying the three- to five-year-olds while Mom tried to get dinner ready. Of late, though, Nickelodeon has been bringing that edginess to the preschool set, culminating, this year, in the station's going all out to ensure that the pre-kindergarten crowd learned about pansexuals and the magical LGBT rainbow. It must have come as a surprise to the woke college graduates staffing Nickelodeon that parents dislike the new pedophile-esque edge to the programming,

A month ago, Tucker Carlson raised concerns over the unusual number of deaths associated with the COVID vaccines. Prominent "fact-checkers" immediately scrambled to discredit these concerns as "misleading" and "lacking in context." FactCheck.org even went on to say, "it's wrong to suggest that reported deaths in the VAERS System database were all caused by vaccines," but Tucker Carlson never made this claim.
The news site Revolver provided context with a graph that showed an astonishing 3,000% spike in vaccine-related deaths. Unfortunately, the article did not provide a link to the source, and the "Open VAERS" website is cumbersome to navigate.

The cover-up of the probability that COVID-19 was deliberately created in the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) has had profound consequences for the entire world, preventing early detection and countermeasures, as well as derailing informed research.
One key element of that cover-up was the hiding of the fact that the Wuhan lab was working on bats because the virus was a variant of an existing bat-borne virus. The cover story, that a wet market led to the dispersal of COVID-19, would have looked awfully weak had it been known that the WIV was creating new viruses from bats. Both the World Health Organization and Peter Daszak

A basic premise of the American system, going all the way back to the Founding Fathers, was an educated population. People weren't expected to be scholars. However, the Founders required a literate and moral population to make their great government experiment work. And that is what they got: most Americans were literate before public schooling. Colonial Americans could also read at a very sophisticated level. The colonists would not have known what to make of the abysmally educated people a scary, funny video shows.
The unthinking American assumption is that, thanks to universally available public education, every American has at least a minimal fund of knowledge

Even sailors have a sweet tooth.
And for anyone who’s ever wanted to eat dessert like a sailor in the U.S. Navy, now you can.
The Navy’s 1945 recipe for soft sugar cookies was posted on YouTube by the Naval History and Heritage Command in April, as part of its "The History Galley" video series.
The series host and public affairs specialist Thomas Frezza told Fox News that he started making the videos during the coronavirus pandemic. "I have a few different editions of the U.S. Navy's Cookbook and it was during quarantine, I was looking for something to do and something that we could share

The George H.W. Bush Foundation for U.S.-China Relations agreed to accept $5 million from a group with ties to the Chinese Communist Party and China's international propaganda efforts, according to a report Saturday.
The group, which was founded by Neil Bush, a brother to former President George W. Bush and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, goes by the name Bush China Foundation for short. Its goal, according to its website, is to build "a constructive relationship" between the U.S. and China.
But a written agreement published by Axios reveals that the Bush China Foundation agreed in 2019 to accept $5 million over five years from the China-United States Exchange Foundation,

A lot of people have been wondering why, suddenly, the leftist establishment is embracing the idea that COVID came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (which is tied to the Chinese military) after denying the possibility for so long. The answer may lie in the fact that the Defense Intelligence Agency has for months been debriefing a high-level Chinese Communist Party defector — but withheld the information from other agencies until recently because of fears that those agencies are compromised. In other words, it's a twofer: China did create and release the virus, and our federal government cannot be trusted.

Two Iranian ships have rounded the Cape of Good Hope, appearing to head for the Atlantic Ocean and on to Venezuela, according to reports.
The move presents a significant and aggressive step during a tense moment in relations between the U.S. and Iran.
The two ships – an Iranian frigate and the Makran, an oil tanker that was converted to a floating forward staging base – made their way south along the Eastern coast of Africa and rounded the Cape of Good Hope on Friday. Satellite imagery of the ship from early May provided by Maxar Technologies shows seven fast-attack boats aboard the Makran’s deck, USNI reported.

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., shared two words in response to news of unearthed emails from Dr. Anthony Fauci.
Thousands of emails obtained by Buzzfeed News and hundreds more reviewed by The Washington Post through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests show Fauci's responses to both critiques and high praise as he worked to communicate the dangers of COVID-19 to the U.S. as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
"Told you," Paul wrote in a Tuesday tweet with the hashtag #firefauci.
He added in another tweet: "Can’t wait to see the media try to spin the Fauci FOIA emails."
Comments:
So, pushing bizarre, perverse, pedophile friendly viewpoints has cost them 70% of their audience.
A ray of sunshine on a cloudy day.
