Monolith

My hat goes off to the pranksters who placed this object to be found.

The craftsmanship is impeccable, the placement, where it could easily have been missed for years, is brilliant.

It is good to know that we have people who will go to this much trouble for a laugh.

Asymptomatic Spread Revisited

Source: American Institute for Economic Research.

The concept of asymptomatic spread of Covid-19 has always seemed like an oxymoron to me. I can imagine a few particles of the virus getting onto my skin or into my breath, only to move on to another person without ever making me sick. It defies common sense, however, to conceive of such an instance of purely mechanical transportation as driving a pandemic. As a rule, one becomes infectious when one develops infectious disease symptoms; no symptoms, no spread.

Trump’s Pennsylvania law suit thrown out of court.

From the opinion . . .

“In this action, the Trump Campaign and the Individual Plaintiffs
(collectively, the “Plaintiffs”) seek to discard millions of votes legally cast by
Pennsylvanians from all corners – from Greene County to Pike County, and everywhere in between. In other words, Plaintiffs ask this Court to disenfranchise almost seven million voters. This Court has been unable to find any case in which a plaintiff has sought such a drastic remedy in the contest of an election, in terms of the sheer volume of votes asked to be invalidated. One might expect that when seeking such a startling outcome, a plaintiff would come formidably armed with compelling legal arguments and factual proof of rampant corruption, such that this Court would have no option but to regrettably grant the proposed injunctive relief despite the impact it would have on such a large group of citizens.

That has not happened. Instead, this Court has been presented with strained legal arguments without merit and speculative accusations, unpled in the operative complaint and unsupported by evidence. In the United States of America, this cannot justify the disenfranchisement of a single voter, let alone all the voters of its sixth most populated state. Our people, laws, and institutions demand more. At bottom, Plaintiffs have failed to meet their burden to state a claim upon which
relief may be granted.

Therefore, I grant Defendants’ motions and dismiss Plaintiffs’ action with prejudice.”

On Elections, DHS Is an Advisor on Cybersecurity, Not the Nation’s Policeman of Election Fraud

Maybe you have heard the statement from the DHS Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) that the 2020 presidential election was “the most secure in American history.” If you have, take it with a grain of salt.

Trump’s legal team holds press conference about the election

Today’s press conference was unlike anything I have ever seen before. Trump’s lawyers described a two-part legal strategy. Part 1 involves preventing state certification of election results based on the affidavits of eye witnesses who allege various frauds. The lawyers claim these allegations by themselves will be enough to prove that Trump won the election by a landslide. Part 2 involves a conspiracy of international scope. The basic allegation is that a nationwide Democratic Party political machine planned and implemented an elaborate scheme to steal the election using both old school techniques and electronic manipulation of the vote counting.
