News of Day: August 4, 2021

1. Covid. Interesting data buried in the UK reports. The mortality rate from the delta variant for the unvaccinated is more than ten times lower than the mortality rate from the original Covid19. For the unvaccinated, the case fatality rate from the Delta variant is about 1 in 1000, and that includes the infirm and the health-vulnerable populations Covid continues to mostly impact. Of note, the vaccinated appeared to be less likely to get Covid, but of those that did, their mortality rate was actually higher than the unvaccinated in this data set. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1001358/Variants_of_Concern_VOC_Technical_Briefing_18.pdf

2. Legal. The Canadian case that went viral does not appear to be what some thought it was. It appears a defendant fighting a covid-based fine served a subpoena on the government, but appears to have served it incorrectly. This led to a response of nothing to respond to, which the defendant misinterpreted as meaning no evidence existed that he had subpoenaed. The defendant then misinterpreted that to mean "the end" of all covid restrictions in the Alberta province. Unfortunately, it's likely just a case of a mis-served subpoena.

3. Economic. The infrastructure bill is trimmed down to less than Trump recommended. It includes about $550 billion in new spending, and that is spread out over 5 years; a $100B/year infrastructure spending will have little impact on a $23T economy. All the various Democratic goodies have been slowly and steadily stripped from the bill, as forecast by Baris & I. https://www.cnet.com/personal-finance/whats-really-inside-the-1-trillion-infrastructure-bill-heres-what-we-know-so-far/

4. Political. Even the left continues to concede Newsom's weakness, and the reasons for it -- the lockdowns, mask mandates, school closures, and other public health strategies Newsom led with Cuomo over the last year. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/poll-finds-support-for-gavin-newsom-recall-increased-over-past-2-weeks-are-mask-mandates-to-blame/ar-AAMTlt8?pfr=1

5. Cultural. Hollywood's disconnect from its fan base continues to haunt its box office, as most of their big releases, especially from woke Disney, look to lose $, and some as much as $100M+. Lebron James, king of woke celebrities, will see a $100M+ loss for his version of Space Jam. https://ombreviews.com/box-office-tracking/

Bonus News: Cuomo caught red-handed, and his defense was showing photos of Bill Clinton & Joe Biden being handsy!

Tyler Robinson hearing

Twiggs’ testimony: Probable cause established. Period.

It’s possible Lance is lying through his teeth.

But this testimony, in conjunction with all of the other evidence, establishes probable cause without question.

That said, listening to Lance testify, I am becoming even more convinced that he - and others - were involved in the assassination.

I. THE INTRODUCTION

Just a few tickets left https://www.1776lawcenter.com/

A. Art of the Day

They raise the flag of liberty, replacing the image of the King, but the painting speaks more than just that celebration of the Revolution. A mother holds up\ her child. Women dance. Young and old alike volunteer. but look a bit closer, and you see the true source of the revolution: as the aristocrats walk away, the commoiners lift the flag of liberty. The founding Fathers weren’t just a few folks writing documents; it was the ordinary people taking dramatic action, peopling the volunteer army, sacricing for boycotts, smuggling information and goods across enemy lines, voicing their independence in taverns and community halls, taking their freedom into their hands for themselves and their posterity, the true founders of America.

B. Wisdom of the Day

"If all else fails, I will retreat up the Valley of Virginia, plant my flag on the Blue Ridge, rally around the Scotch-Irish of that region, and make my last stand for liberty amongst a people who will never submit to tyranny whilst there is a man left to draw a trigger." George Washington.

I. THE INTRODUCTION

*Note: Limited tickets available. 1776lawcenter.com

A. Art of the Day

The blue heron showed up outside my rental home here in upstate New York, my totem according to some native tribal traditions. The totem represents your spirit animal, your analogue in the animal world. A few common tidbits of this totem as “heron medicine” — know yourself to uncover your gifts and discover your limits; follow your intuition; embrace self-reliance and feel free to be your own, unafraid of the challenges that come to the nonconformist; be a place for unique wisdom, expressing the best of that most American spirit — independence.

B. Wisdom of the Day

Weekend Barnes Brief: June 5, 2026

I. THE INTRODUCTION

*Limited tickets available. 1776lawcenter.com

A. Art of the Day
“She’ll be riding 7 white horses when she comes, when she comes. She’ll be riding around the bend when she comes, when she comes.” So may father sang some version of his own of the famed spiritual son that used to echo off the ridges and mountains and riverbeds that make Chattanooga home as returned from our morning paper route beneath the mountains and by this famed river bend.

B. Wisdom of the Day

"From the hands of the mother and daughter, Through the mists of the past revealing, The herbs and the cinnamon water, Hold all the mysteries of healing." The Sorrow Songs, preceding the Blues.
