@ TommyJay: I remember in 2020 a video appeared where a group of protestors, part of he George Floyd/BLM protests, surrounded a group of CPD cops – with one being a woman – dragged the female cop down and proceeded to stomp on her and the other cops. Another cop, to get the protestors off of them, grabbed a protestor who he thought was pushing them down was immediately followed by people yelling at him to let her go. If anti-vaxxers are seen as dumb, well, lefties really got them beat in more ways than one.

This story at RedState could just as well go on the CDC thread, but since that’s a sub-unit of the Democrat Power Play through Double Standards, I’ll post it here:

https://redstate.com/bonchie/2021/07/30/the-panic-is-the-point-for-democrats-and-the-reason-is-insidious-n418953?utm_source=piano&utm_medium=onsite&utm_campaign=719

There’s no point excerpting, since the headline makes the argument clear, but Bonchie does a good job of putting all the pieces into perspective, not that anything he says will be new to the Salon here, but he organizes the dot-drawing well.

Conclusion: “Once you recognize the game being played, it’s much easier to anticipate the next move, and Democrats are not hiding the ball at this point. The panic is the point, and Republicans need to stop assuming all of these machinations are happening out of ignorance and not malice. Understand what you are up against and respond accordingly. Do that, and they [GOP] may yet get their red wave in 2022.”

AesopFan, R2L:

Thanks for the info. I tend to avoid anything related to Twitter as toxic, so I can see how I missed him. He does have some interesting threads @Doc_0.

@ Chris B “Watching a Capitol police officer weeping and whining that “I thought I was going to die” when confronted by a bunch of unarmed yahoos wandering around and taking selfies for a couple of hours, with some pushing and shoving thrown in, made me wonder what a Minneapolis or Portland police officer who had to face bricks and Molotov Cocktails every night all summer would think of that guy.”
& TommyJay “I’ve forgotten the details, but I think it was Chicago where the rioters were throwing frozen water bottles, bricks and un-opened food cans at the police. I believe that 30 or 40 police were actually admitted to the hospitals that night. Now that’s scary.”

It’s tempting to feel discouraged in the face of progressive legislators’ theatrical committee related to the Jan. 6 Capitol breach and the brand new indoor mask mandate announced Thursday by the Biden administration. But it’s important to recognize the overreach is a reaction to what the Biden administration and progressives on the Hill are confronting: they’re already losing on some pretty serious fronts.

The National Police Association, a non-profit that purports to advocate for law enforcement officers in the face of the defund the police movement, called the January 6 Committee a “dog and pony show” and said the committee theatrics are supplanting the stories of officers injured during last summer’s nationwide Black Lives Matter/Antifa riots across the country.

@ Huxley: in regard to John Hayward, my records show he started generating commentary as “Dr. Zero” for the Hot Air/ Greenroom in 2009. Then around 12/22/09 he started his own blog as http://www.doczero.org. His (unpaid) essays addressing conservative issues and liberty were so powerful and compelling that he was picked up by Breitbart as a paid contributor (either right then in 2010 or after some other interim gig??). I kind of lost track of him at that point or went on to other sources/writers [probably Neo 🙂 ], but it appears he has managed to maintain strong messaging and a loyal following for the last many years.

More power to him. He deserves whatever accolades he has received.

huxley – I frequently link to John Hayward’s threads (and really could do so more often), but usually refer to him by his nom de blog of “Doc Zero.”
His site is on my Must Read Daily list.

The particular thread that Bookworm quoted is at this link:
https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1420358703795122177.html

Breitbart publishes his “just the news” reports, but his Doc 0 opinion essays are more interesting.

To Chris B’s point,

I’ve forgotten the details, but I think it was Chicago where the rioters were throwing frozen water bottles, bricks and un-opened food cans at the police. I believe that 30 or 40 police were actually admitted to the hospitals that night. Now that’s scary.

Should I know John Hayward? Apparently, he writes for Breitbart, but this is the first time I’ve noticed his name.

Good to see someone pushing back hard on the 1/6 narrative vs Antifa/BLM riots.

@GB:

“Wasn’t it only just three Congressional Republicans who tried to visit? It should have been every damn one of them.”

Letting three in and then not letting them back out would have been a good start. Putting all Republican Congresscritters in Guantanamo for two decades is a bit like the old joke about what to call a bus load of lawyers going over a cliff.
