The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

...predictably has gotten zero coverage on most of the liberal networks. And why should it? Their audiences still believe it all came from the market thing. But guess what?

Even Anthony Fauci didn't believe that.

ABC News, NBC News, CBS News, CNN and MS NOW's on-air broadcasts ignored Fauci’s diary entries from the time they were released on Saturday afternoon through Monday at 9 a.m. ET when flagship morning shows had concluded, according to a search of transcripts using Grabien Media.

Released by Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Rand Paul, R-Ky., the journals chronicle Fauci's day-to-day role during the COVID-19 crisis through conversations with President Donald Trump, governors and world leaders, media appearances, and his personal observations as the pandemic unfolded in 2020.


Figures.

The then-director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) wrote to himself on Jan. 26, 2020: “It now appears using epi data and genomic data that the first infection was in early December and was not connected to the market.”

I remember being excoriated for even mentioning the lab leak origin as a possibility. In the name of "science", it was.

lol.

“Now we know the market was not the source, it was the amplifier,” he underscored, adding that he was still convinced “somewhere the virus jumped from animals to humans.”

Riiiight. And the entire time he was advocating for millions of Americans to forego Thanksgiving dinner in favor of hiding under their beds smoking weed (I added that last part), what was he doing?

Having dinner at Jake Tapper's house. Made the interviews go smoother.

One man destroyed the public's confidence in government health care bureaucracy, and his name wasn't Donald Trump.
