UCon professor Seth C. Kalichman makes a convincing case that RFK Jr. and the Trump maladministration are gaming the numbers to make it appear that the current measles outbreak isn’t. He writes that the issue

. . . is about the CDC, under the direction of Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., denying that measles is as big a problem as it is.

The CDC now counts measles deaths using data from the National Center for Health Statistics, a system designed primarily for tracking mortality trends rather than identifying individual deaths. Previously, measles deaths were counted using reports from state and local health officials. The change at the CDC has left deaths officially recognized by state authorities out of the federal tally.

When the Truth Hurts, Attack the Truth-Tellers 0

Steve M. makes a prediction:

. . . if the November results are as bad for the GOP as most observers now expect, I expect him (Trump–ed.) to argue that poor media coverage of his administration was illegal election interference. And he won’t be alone.

“History Does Not Repeat Itself, but It Often Rhymes”* 0

Peter Johnson hears a rhyme from older time. Here’s how he starts his article:

I remember what happened when officials in the South told the country that civil rights marchers were causing trouble. We were there to ask for rights promised by the Constitution. They called us agitators. Sometimes they called us dangerous. If the only account the public heard came from those officials, many Americans would never have known what was done to us.

That is why President Donald Trump’s decision to bar CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House troubles me.

The Voter Fraud Fraudsters 0

Yet another MAGA Republican is found guilty of doing what they claim Democrats do.

Personally, I think it’s a textbook case of pathological psychological projection: They know that they’re willing to do it, so they think everyone else is too.

Hoist on His Own Petard 0

Veteran journalist John Young seems to think that Donald Trump’s war of choice on Iran may not be going quite as Trump expected.

Here’s a bit from his article; follow the link for context.

It’s been half a calendar sweep since he went to war against Iran. He implied its subjugation would be over in a hiccup. That was February.

By March: “I think we won.”

Come April: “A whole civilization will die tonight.” (Fortunately for civilization, TACO was cheap.)

In June: “There may come a point when we are no longer able to be reasonable.”
