Andy, Barry and Joe – the Dems’ Larry, Curly and Moe

August 19, 2021 WND

Of course, the one major difference between the original Three Stooges – Larry Fine, Curly Howard and Mo Howard – and the Democrats’ three stooges – Andrew Cuomo, Barack Obama and Joe Biden – is that the originals merely acted foolish.

The originals also worked together as a team. The Dem stooges acted alone. For two weeks running, each of the three took center stage in a dumb show of his own making, and, shockingly, Big Media booed all three.

After months of pre-production, the Cuomo show hit Broadway on Aug. 3 when New York State Attorney General Letitia James released a blistering 165-page report. Had the report focused on the thousands of needless nursing home deaths for which Cuomo was responsible, the audience would have felt guilty about enjoying the spectacle.

Big Media belatedly catching on to Obama’s phoniness

American Thinker

New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd stirred up something of a tweet storm in leftist quarters last weekend with a hit piece on Barack Obama’s super-spreader birthday bash, titled, without subtlety, “Behold Barack Antoinette.” The reference is to Marie Antionette, the soon-to-be-beheaded French queen who reportedly dissed the revolutionary masses with her classic brush-off, “Let them eat cake.”

In reading the column, I found myself amused at Dowd’s discovery that Obama is “a diffident debutante with a distaste for politics.”  Given the access to power provided by her lofty perch at the Times, I had to ask myself, “How had it taken her so long to grasp the obvious?”

In Praise of White Men

American Spectator

“Census data shows the number of White people in the U.S. fell for the first time since 1790,” shouts the much too happy headline in the Washington Post, but the Post gloats prematurely. No one wants to talk about this phenomenon, but working-class white men dominate just about every difficult and dangerous industry in America.

This is not to slight the Latino contribution to hard and dangerous work, especially in the Southwest, but Latinos are not the ones whose demise is being celebrated. Then too, unlike non-Latino white men, Latinos do have unearned “privilege.” For no easily explained reason, they receive preferential treatment in academia, in professions, and in the awarding of Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) contracts. Besides, “Latino” is no more a race than is “American.” Although Latinos come from various races, a healthy percentage of them identify as “white” because they are.

Throughout most of America, white men are the ones climbing utility poles after ice storms, digging in ditches after water main breaks, building our bridges, hollowing out our tunnels, catching our fish, harvesting our wheat, felling our timber, mining our coal, pumping our oil, and constructing our homes and offices. On average, about 5,000 people die each year from work-related injuries. Each year more than 90 percent of the dead are men.

U.N.’s latest climate scare released in wake of Obama’s luau

WND

I suppose it could be a coincidence that the United Nations chose to release its latest climate scare report on Monday, Aug. 9, the day after Barack Obama’s ballyhooed weekend birthday bash on Martha’s Vineyard came to an end.

But I doubt it. Although the media focused on the seeming indifference of Obama and cronies to COVID guidelines, the crypto-Marxists at the United Nations knew that Obama – and the media as well – needed to be spanked for a much more serious offense. Obama’s island luau made a mockery of everything the climate change clergy had been preaching for the last 30 or so years.

J’accuse! How Derek Chauvin became America’s Dreyfus

American Thinker

“How flimsy it is!” wrote Emile Zola in his public letter to French president Félix Faure. “The fact that someone could have been convicted on this charge is the ultimate iniquity. I defy decent men to read it without a stir of indignation in their hearts and a cry of revulsion, at the thought of the undeserved punishment being meted out.”

The year was 1898. The man convicted of espionage was Alfred Dreyfus, a French Army General Staff officer who was then rotting away on Devil’s Island to which he had been sentenced for life. The evidence of Dreyfus’s guilt mattered less to the French military establishment than did the need to feed the anti-Semitic mania then sweeping the country.

Upon Derek Chauvin’s conviction for the murder of George Floyd, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris unwittingly laid bare the equally racist mania sweeping America.

Who green-lighted the kneecapping of Andrew Cuomo?

WND

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo was on a roll. In 2006 Cuomo was elected New York state attorney general without breaking a sweat. In

Cuomo’s lucky it was just a kneecapping.

2010, then President Barack Obama passed the word to New York state’s incumbent black governor David Paterson to step aside and let Cuomo run for governor.

In November 2010, when Democrats were getting shellacked from coast to coast, Cuomo won in a landslide. In 2014 and again in 2018, Cuomo was reelected comfortably. Then in December 2020, a month after the Democrats “elected” the mentally unstable Joe Biden president and the erratic and unlikeable Kamala Harris vice president, Big Media turned on its golden boy. The fact that Cuomo more or less killed thousands of grannies and then lied about it did not disturb the Democratic base nearly as much as did the newly discovered toxicity of his masculinity.

Obama Birthday Bash to Smash All Known Woke Values

American Thinker

Forget about the violation of COVID protocols — those are a passing fancy on the left. Barack Obama’s sixtieth birthday bash this coming weekend threatens to violate just about every progressive virtue the Obamas and their woke pals have ever signaled.

Officially, Obama’s birthday falls on August 4. As I will explain, that may not be the real date, but the “optics” problem facing Barry and his bourgeois buddies is a more pressing one.

As planned, some 475 invited guests and at least 200 worker bees will swarm the Obamas’ waterfront estate on Martha’s Vineyard, a tony little island off the coast of Massachusetts. In addition to their vax cards, I suspect the worker bees and even the guests will have to show a photo ID. Apparently, birthday invites are more vulnerable than ballots in Obama world.

On a side note, rumor has it that the ever-cautious Georgia congressman, Hank Johnson, passed on the invite for fear that the whole island would become so overly populated that it would tip over and capsize.

Among the invited guests are George Clooney, Steven Spielberg, and Oprah. I could be wrong, but my guess is that these and the Obamas’ other jet-setting friends are not going to fly commercial.

Comments:

Review of Dr. Baker’s Autopsy
· Autopsy pretty complete but noted Baker did not perform a layered posterior neck
dissection

Dunn note: Not so, read this from the autopsy by Baker

  1. No life-threatening injuries identified
    1. No facial, oral mucosal, or conjunctival petechiae
    2. No injuries of anterior muscles of neck or laryngeal structures
    3. No scalp soft tissue, skull, or brain injuries
    4. No chest wall soft tissue injuries, rib fractures (other than a single rib fracture from CPR), vertebral column injuries, or visceral injuries
    5. Incision and subcutaneous dissection of posterior and lateral neck, shoulders, back, flanks, and buttocks negative for occult trauma

Dunn note: More details are provided by Dr. Baker in his discussion on procedures and findings

NECK:  Layer by layer dissection of the anterior strap muscles of the neck discloses no areas of contusion or hemorrhage within the musculature.  The thyroid cartilage and hyoid bone are intact.  The larynx is lined by intact mucosa.   The thyroid is symmetric and red-brown, without cystic or nodular change.   The tongue is free of bite marks, hemorrhage, or other injuries.

The cervical spinal column is palpably stable and free of hemorrhage.

o Reviewed photos 122 and 123 pointed to a dark spot that could be a hemorrhage
but was hard to tell without a layer posterior neck dissection

Dunn note: This is nothing more than another bruise that showed up on the pictures of the body—again the dissection of the neck, shoulders, back, flanks and buttocks showed no evidence of trauma.

  • The lack of a hemorrhage in the deep tissue doesn’t necessarily add value but the presents
    of a hemorrhage can be helpful to understand the amount of pressure
    Tumor in pelvis
    o Possible carcinoid tumor. Baker described the tumor as a possible carcinoid tumor,
    but Mitchell does not know whether the tumor was active.
    o Carcinoid syndrome can cause

§ Sudden cardiac death and agitation and unstable blood pressure could be
due to carcinoid tumor
o The tumor could put Floyd at further risk of carcinoid syndrome but it depends if it
was secreting serotonin
o Don’t know if tumor was active
o Nothing about the tumor that would absolve the compressions on the neck from its
lethal effect

Dunn note: All this talk about Carcinoid syndrome and Carcinoid tumor is nothing more than talk, since no one can say if it was secreting and if it was secreting and caused cardiac irritability that would just be another cause of death that exonerates Chauvin of the Mitchell claim that Mr. Floyd was asphyxiated.

· George Floyd had an open airway but goes into cardiac arrest while the knee is on his neck.
Mitchell agrees with Baker that the neck compression is a component of the mechanism of
death. 042881

· Mitchell evaluated the various potential impacts of the compression of the neck and noted
they include possibly causing an arrythmia, he also said it can imped blood flow to the
brain, vaso vagal response
· Mitchell discussed struggle and impact on heart
· The sooner he gets care the higher likelihood he will live
o At no point are they issuing life support care
· You can feel yourself dying, you have to moveo He was in crisis – physical crisis
· The actions of law enforcement were preceded cardiac arrest
· Cardiac event
o Regarding the cause of the cardiac event, Mitchell believed the effect on
circulation was potentially more significant than the impeded ventilation.
However, Mitchell was somewhat unsure because he also believed the neck
compression played a significant part in Floyd’s death

Dunn note: Here Mitchell goes in circles and demonstrates his duplicitous efforts, he admits that the manner of death was more likely cardiac and circulatory, but he then reasserts his opinion that neck compression impeded ventilation.

Moreover, Mitchell ignores the critical information on the brain that shows no evidence of lack of oxygen (hypoxia).

BRAIN (10-12):   Sections of hippocampus, cerebellum, cerebral cortex, and midbrain show the expected microscopic architecture, without hypoxic– ischemic, reactive, neoplastic, or inflammatory changes.

  • With respect to the term Asphyxia, there are typical indicators of asphyxia that are not
    present but also believes the neck compression played a significant part in Floyd’s death.
    Neck compression can comprise blood delivery into the brain and can cause hypoxia.
    Baker’s lack of use of the term asphyxia is a style issue.

Dunn note: No it isn’t a style issue—it has to do with proper cause of death analysis and conclusions. Baker found no evidence of petechia which is the most common and diagnostic change caused by asphyxiation—the reason is any effort to breath that is obstructed causes an increase in back pressure that produces small hemorrhages in the face and upper body and none were found-Mitchell just discards the lack of petechia when that is pertinent to cause of death analysis.

  • Did not die from overdoes
  • o Fentanyl is an opioid, which does compromise respiratory drive. But Floyd, when

the officers first encounter him, is not having trouble breathing.
Mitchell does not believe that the Fentanyl or any of the drugs in his system are
playing a part in Floyd’s death

o In order for these drugs to cause death, the user would be in a stupor, brainstem no
longer functioning properly and dying from the fact that brainstem is suggesting
you have enough oxygen and you are holding on to carbon dioxide

Dunn note: Yes indeed this was not a Fentanyl overdose—which causes lethargy and stupor and respiratory failure/arrest. However Mitchell ignores the cardiac arrhythmia risks created by agitation and methamphetamine.

  • Lungs = normal
    · Heart = not normal
    o High blood pressure
    o Dilated heart
    o Hypertension
    o Cardiovascular disease puts Floyd at risk for fatal arrhythmia

Cardiac arrhythmia was a risk because of Mr. Floyd’s bad heart disease

Dunn note: I found this section most enlightening—Mitchell is correct as was Baker and normal lungs eliminates opiate pulmonary edema as a consideration. In fact Mitchell agrees that cardiac arrhythmia is the most likely cause of Mr. Floyd’s sudden death. But he insists Baker should blame the death on asphyxiation and neck pressure when there was no evidence of trauma of the airway/neck shoulders, trunk. My conclusion is that Mitchell read what he wanted to read and ignored the evidence that was right in front of him—he had a racially motivated tunnel vision-police misconduct killed Mr. Floyd. He ignored the evidence that showed the most likely cause was a bad heart and the resistance and agitated intoxication combined with methamphetamine on board that caused fatal cardiac arrhythmia, just like what forensic pathologists see all the time cardiac arrest during exertion.

  • Dr. Andrew Baker
    o Knows professionally through NAME and worked together on the Castille case

o Found Dr. Baker’s preliminary findings odd

o When the preliminary result came out via the criminal complaint, Mitchell found
the statement was bizarre. Mitchell was reading and said this is not right. So
Mitchell called Baker and said first of all Baker should fire his public information
officer. Then Mitchell asked what happened, because Mitchell didn’t think it
sounded like Baker’s words. Baker said that he didn’t think the neck compression
played a part and that he didn’t find petechiae. Mitchell said but you know you can
not have petechiae and still have asphyxia and can still have neck compression.
Baker then asked are you going to come and do a second exam. Baker said well
they are looking for someone to come and I hope it is you. Mitchell said, I am just
calling to lend you support and if you need support, let me know. 042882

o Mitchell thought about it more that weekend, and was going to release an op-ed. A
friend put out the op-ed on Facebook. Mitchell will send the op-ed to us. Mitchell
was expecting to send the op-ed to the Washington Post on Monday afternoon so
Mitchell called Baker first to let him know that he was going to be critical of
Baker’s findings. In this conversation, Mitchell said, you don’t want to be the
medical examiner who tells everyone they didn’t see what they saw. You don’t
want to be the smartest person in the room and be wrong. Said there was a way to
articulate the cause and manner of death that ensures you are telling the truth about
what you are observing on the body and via all of the investigation. Mitchell said
neck compression has to be in the diagnosis. Baker asked whether he could give
Mitchell’s name to the AG because he knew Mitchell would be fair in his review
of the information.

 

o Talked to Dr. Baker before his diagnosis were final

 

Dunn note: This section shows that Baker was being obsequious—Mitchell was essentially trying to bully him into a police murder cause of death and he was, like most white professionals INVOLVED IN RACIALLY CHARGED MATTERS-SCARED TO DEATH FOR HIMSELF AND HIS FAMILY. Even though Baker did a fine autopsy and would have come to the right conclusions that there was no evidence of homicide, by the time some of these things played out the riots were everywhere with the epicenter for Baker his home.  

Like most people confronted by a thug like Mitchell Baker added some nonsense words about cause of death, and he even suggested Mitchell review his work and maybe be chosen to do the second autopsy because he knew Mitchell would be fair? That’s called cowering in fear.

Next week Obama turns 60. Or does he?

July 31, 2021 WND

By all official accounts, Barack Obama will turn 60 on Aug. 4. To celebrate, presuming rising seas do not swamp “his oceanside abode, set on nearly 30 acres” in Martha’s Vineyard, Obama will host an A-list bash. Of course, were guests to question that birth date they would be instantly labeled “conspiracy theorists” by media people who know less about Barack Obama’s early years than they do about George Washington’s. One thing most in the media do not know about Obama is that he spent the first year of his life not in Honolulu, as we have been told, but in Seattle, Washington.

 

Now, however, even his mainstream biographers concede Obama arrived in Seattle in late August 1961 so that his mother, Ann Dunham, could attend classes at the University of Washington. At the time, Obama would have been roughly 3 weeks old, awfully young for so fraught an adventure. Ann knew the territory. Although Obama like to picture his mother as a “white middle-class girl from Kansas,” Ann spent her formative years in Seattle.
