End your Friday with this nugget. Jim Jordan asked the Covid Pope Fauci if, in order to slow the terrible spread of the terrible COVID-19 that is causing terrible things, we should limit Americans protesting. The corner Fauci backed into was littered with glass. Check out the squirming:

Police casualties from "peaceful protests." You know, riots.

We'll update this chart as riots continue.

People killed by "peaceful protesters." You know. Rioters.

Wrong place, wrong time for some of them.

We'll update this table as "peaceful protests" continue.

Welcome to day 137,010 of "Fifteen Days to Flatten The Curve." I exaggerated only slightly. According to the COVID-19 rules, number accuracy isn't as important as shaming people you think are literally murdering others by not wearing a face diaper. Sometimes with a little pepper-spray baptism. But how are our Ikea-building neighbors to the east handling all this WuFlu cough "pandemic"? Remember, Sweden never shutdown. They didn't even close their cheese-cloth border. To my knowledge, they didn't do the mask debate (say that five times fast). Bars remained open. People gathered and were asked to distance socially, but — again to my knowledge — no black-arm-band wearing public gestapo fined or shamed he, she or ze who failed to obey. The pandemic porn believers were hoping millions of Swedes would kick the verklopen. That's my best attempt at Ikea speech for bucket. Reality is: not really.

So how is Sweden doing at the end of July?

If you're confused by the dates, it looks like this chart has the day and month swapped. So 12/4 is "April 12" and not "December 4th." You're welcome.

From Newsweek:

The seven-day rolling average of Sweden's daily new cases has been dropping consistently since June 29. Its daily case count has been mostly decreasing since June 24, when it reported 1,803 new infections, its largest single-day spike since the outbreak began, according to data compiled by Worldometer.

The seven-day rolling average of daily new deaths in Sweden has also been declining since around April 15, when it reported a record daily death count of 115. The country's latest seven-day rolling averages for daily new cases and daily new deaths stand at 154 and 2.

As a reminder, new cases aren't deaths. I know the pro-Covid-shutdown-because-its-our-new-religion apostles want to believe that if you're diagnosed with the Chinese Chest Cold you're somehow a goner. Tis not the case, nor has it ever been. You might be a goner if you're morbidly sick already, or old and morbidly sick already, but the survival rate of COVID is higher than Post Malone chatting with Rogan. And in Courtney's esteemed opinion, not worth near the panic clueless morons award it.

Regardless of all that, other countries in Europe that instituted government mandated YOU SHALL OBEY lockdowns are seeing a second wave of cases. This, in Courtney's esteemed opinion, seems to indicate the lockdowns don't work like the lockdown advocates want them to work. Or say they want them to work. Because, again in my opinion, the measures being shoved through in order to "save lives" are just a Trojan horse for socialism. The more the people comply with the increasing draconian orders, the more draconian orders we receive. Kind of like a "If you give a mouse a cookie" scenario. At this point, the mouse has completely taken over and we're just lucky to sleep on the floor.

Whatever you do, don't spread the Swedish good news like how Covid was rumored to spread. The panic porn addicts who've made COVID their godking, would hate to be proven wrong.

Meet U.S. attorney Billy Williams. No, there's no relation to the guy who played Lando. Oregon is his domain, where the city of Portland has been ground zero for what some are calling peaceful protests. Those of us with functioning brain cells call them riots (see 'PEACEFUL PROTESTER' IN PORTLAND ACCIDENTALLY SET ANOTHER 'PEACEFUL PROTESTER' ON FIRE and SINGLE MOTHER IN PORTLAND WANTS YOU TO KNOW HOW SLEEP-DEPRIVED SHE IS FROM ALL THAT PROTESTING). Williams met with the press and for ten minutes swatted down every pro-riot talking point reporters tried pushing. It's an impressive piece of business. Go pour yourself a little tequila, sit back in your chair, and enjoy.

I'd like to correct myself. Earlier this week in a post, I wrote that we are past referring to the coronavirus as the "China virus." AKA the Karate Flu aka the Kung Flu aka Wuhan Got You All Check aka Wuhan Flu Ain't Nuthin' to F' Wit. Turns out, I was wrong. According to a new Pew poll, and insane majority of Americans blame the virus on the country it originated from. How huge? 78% huge. Dare I say, YUGE!

More than three-quarters of Americans — 78 percent — place a "great deal or fair amount of the blame" on China for the virus' spread around the world, according to the study published Thursday by the Pew Research Center. Another 73 percent of respondents said they had "unfavorable" views of the country — a figure that rose 26 percentage points since 2018, the surveyors found.

Of course, while fingers point to China for where the virus originated from, that does not make China responsible for the current outbreak. The blame there of course lies with liberal protesters (see THIS CHART SHOWS WHEN THE SECOND COVID OUTBREAK STARTED. SPOILER: IT'S BECAUSE OF THE PROTESTS AND RIOTS! and THESE TWO IMAGES PERFECTLY ILLUSTRATE ANDREW CUOMO FLAGRANT COVID-19 HYPOCRISY). However, it's worth pointing out that when the media criticizes the president for blaming China — the same media trying to gaslight Americans that it was you going to church without a mask and NOT the protesters to blame — the majority of Americans agree with Trump here.

So while I still think we're past the "China virus" and personally prefer calling it the New York City virus, I acknowledge that I am of the minority opinion.

Poll: A HUGE Majority of Americans Still Blame China for the Coronavirus

Teachers' unions all need to be busted. Period. Because the way they are trying to hold students hostage and using the pandemic as an excuse is disgusting (see LA TEACHERS UNION WILL ONLY REOPEN SCHOOLS IF WE ... ELIMINATE CHARTER SCHOOLS AND DEFUND THE POLICE and TEXAS WANTS TO REOPEN SCHOOLS AND TEACHERS CLAIM THEY ARE NOW 'WRITING OUT THEIR WILLS'). Which now, besides not wanting to go back to the classroom, they also don't want to do remote teaching either. Because, and I quote, "Many teachers have expressed anxiety about how they and their homes would look on camera during live teaching."

The latest stunt brings us to Iowa, where to protest classroom learning, teachers are sending the governor their obituaries.

The movement started after art teacher Jeremy Dumkreiger, who helped start the Facebook group Iowa Educators for a Safe Return to School, shared his self-authored obituary in an op-ed for the local news blog Iowa Starting Line. In the July 16 post, Dumkreiger called on other teachers to write their obituaries to "demand Gov. Reynolds declare a statewide school mask mandate."

"If we do not require this mask mandate, we risk the chance of driving our teachers and schools into the ground, literally," he wrote.

Yesterday, my one-year-old wanted a cookie. We told him he had had enough cookies. So he threw himself to the ground, crying and flailing his arms and legs. That was less dramatic that these adults from Iowa who are entrusted with teaching our children.

If teachers don't want to work, it's really simple. They should stop getting paid, because they shouldn't keep collecting a check while everyone else is suffering. Parents should then get their school taxes refunded to cover the cost of educating their children in this new normal. Most importantly, all teachers scared for their lives about being in a building with other people should be mandated to have a contact tracing app installed on their smartphones for their own safety. I know schools are germ factories. So are restaurants, bars, and political protests.

Help me out, because I'm a little confused on the rules. Is this where I blame CNN for its inflammatory rhetoric almost getting someone killed? Because the constant panic porn has already driven people to verbally attack others who disagree with them (see CRAZY MASK NAZI IS CAUGHT ON VIDEO PEPPER-SPRAYING A COUPLE FOR NOT WEARING MASKS ... WHILE EATING and HERE'S A CRAZY MASK NAZI SCREAMING IN A LITTLE GIRL'S FACE: 'I HOPE YOU DIE'). Now we have people trying to murder other people for not socially distancing, in this case, a mother and son in a Miami Beach hotel. Click through for video of the news report. Also, it's 2020. All videos should be embeddable by now.

"The guy came and started shooting," a witness said. "The son and the mom were, like, crying, and they were scared."

According to a police report, the man was enraged that a mother and child were not social distancing. Detectives said the mother and son angered the man enough for him to allegedly fire gunshots into the lobby's floor.

Police allege the shooter "continued to scream commands to social distance while holding the firearm and subsequently fired several shots."

I'm assuming the mother and son were wearing masks. If not, the media would probably have said so in order to victim-blame.

People are being driven to a panic with the 'rona. I get that. But the appropriate response to seeing two people less than six feet away from each other is to DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS! NO ONE LIKES PEOPLE LIKE YOU! WE ACTUALLY HATE PEOPLE LIKE YOU! Seriously, people who would yell at the mother and son are garbage enough. Looking to kill them? I hope someone coughs on you while you're in county.

Cancel culture won't be canceled until companies grow a sack and stand up to the cancel-culturers. It's that simple (see POLL: CANCEL CULTURE IS GROSSLY UNPOPULAR TO MOST REAL AMERICANS and COMEDIAN CALLS OUT LIBERAL VICTIMS OF CANCEL CULTURE: 'THIS IS WHAT YOU IDIOTS WANTED!'). Originally, it was reported that Trader Joe's caved. Some rando started a petition about the store's "racist" marketing, calling ethic brands "Trader Jose's," "Trader Ming's" and so forth racist. It was a simple play on words, but when bored and lonely people start to see how much social media attention you can get by being stupid, oy vey do they get stupid.

HOWEVER, the retail chain would like to clear the air on a few things.

We want to be clear: we disagree that any of these labels are racist. We do not make decisions based on petitions.

Decades ago, our Buying Team started using product names, like Trader Giotto's, Trader José's, Trader Ming's, etc. We thought then—and still do—that this naming of products could be fun and show appreciation for other cultures.

Recently we have heard from many customers reaffirming that these name variations are largely viewed in exactly the way they were intended­—as an attempt to have fun with our product marketing. We continue our ongoing evaluation, and those products that resonate with our customers and sell well will remain on our shelves.

Here's the dirty little secret. The people who say that they are no longer going to shop at your store unless you cave to their political demands, more often than not, NEVER SHOPPED THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE. If other people stay silent, it's not because they agree with the idiots. It's because they're too busy having a life to care about what a supermarket calls its guacamole. They never know there is a nontroversy in the first place. Just because one side yells the loudest on social media, that doesn't make them the voice of the people. It especially doesn't make them the voice of your customers. Also, brands need to start to have the courage to tell Twitter to shut the f*** up once in a while.

Trader Joe's is listening to the people who actually shop at Trader Joe's. That's what the company is supposed to do.

In 2016, "South Park" mocked anthem protests, showing the townspeople more concerned about who was kneeling, then leaving before the sports game started because no one care about that any more. That's basically what we've become now, minus the people leaving because there are no people allowed. F*** you, 'rona! These days, you make news if you DON'T kneel, as if you're the weird one (see SF GIANTS PLAYER BUCKS TREND, REFUSES TO KNEEL FOR ANTHEM: 'I KNEEL ONLY FOR GOD..." and REPORTER ASKS DREW BREES IF HE'LL KNEEL FOR THE ANTHEM). Thankfully we have Charles Barkley coming through with some common sense. I know leftists are triggered, but Sir Charles isn't one who is known to give AF.

In my opinion, I personally don't care about the kneeling. I think it's disrespectful to do any kind of protest during the national anthem, and the people who do are usually leftist dinkuses whose opinions I don't care about in the first place. But aside from rolling my eyes at you, I'm more concerned about fantasy points and drinking beer once the game starts. What Barkley is getting at is how the entire leftist entertainment complex is acting like you're the asshole for NOT kneeling. Drew Brees was cyberbullied into bending the knee. Sam Coonrod (the guy from the SF Giants) was forced to explain why he didn't kneel.

If you want me to take you seriously for protesting during the national anthem, sure. Whatever. Making it so that there's something wrong with people who don't kneel is where the words "suck" and "it" start to come into play.

There are two groups of people to listen to about communism. One group is leftist politicians and college students. The other group is people who have actually lived through it or have family members who did (see UFC 251'S JORGE MASVIDAL EXPOSES THE TRUTH ABOUT COMMUNISM and VENEZUELAN WOMAN EXPLAINS WHY LEFTISTS TEARING DOWN STATUES SHOULD SCARE EVERYONE). Count B-Real, frontman of the legendary Cypress Hill, in the latter group. His mother escaped being a prisoner under Castro, and as luck would have it, he's being interviewed by someone whose parents escaped communist Russia. So that's TWO warnings about communism for the price of one.

I skipped past the pot-smoking part to get right to the communism part. This isn't usually a sticky icky icky audience, but if that's how you get down, feel free to start from the beginning.
