Dick Durbin’s Programming Glitches During COVID-19 Announcement

March 20, 2023 by Bonchie Leave a Comment

Sen. Dick Durbin has COVID-19. How do I know? Because he announced it to the world on Sunday, proclaiming his thankfulness for the vaccines and boosters he has partaken in, to which he ascribes his “mild symptoms.”

It was your standard left-wing political pronouncement about being infected, one we’ve seen countless times over the last several years. But in this case, we hadn’t just seen something like this before. We had seen this exact thing before.

Apparently, Durbin’s AI programming glitched out.

Apparently, those booster regimes work so well that Durbin got COVID twice in a little over half a year. And while the two posts are nearly identical, he does make a few changes.

For example, in the new one, he’s just “boosted” instead of “double boosted,” likely because he’s been shot up with multiple more doses in the elapsing time between the two posts. He also said he’ll quarantine in the original one, but the new one cuts that part out. I guess the virus stopped being contagious or something.

Does it strike no one else as odd that these quintuple-boosted people continue to get COVID-19 over and over? I’ve gotten the virus exactly once, way back in December of 2020. I’ve gotten sick a few times since then but haven’t tested positive again.

Why, it’s almost like natural immunity, which essentially every American garnered during the omicron wave, is durable and effective, making the continued touting of the shots pointless. Oh wait, that’s exactly what the science shows (see Landmark Study Vindicates Everyone Who Touted Natural Immunity to COVID-19).

But I digress, you have to love the “I’m only experiencing mild symptoms” brag these posts always contain. Apparently, no one else in history has ever had a mild case of COVID-19 except those who look like an acupuncture patient from all the jabs they’ve received. Who knew? I guess that mild case of COVID-19 I had before the vaccines were even readily available was a figment of my imagination.

That’s not to say that the original vaccine didn’t lower death rates among certain groups (namely the obese and elderly). I’m of the mind that it served a purpose in that time period, but we are well into 2023 now. Natural immunity is a thing that is proven to be effective, and continuing to insinuate that one must be jabbed and boosted to experience a mild case of COVID-19 is ridiculously dishonest. It’s also an assumption that can’t actually be proven. No one, including Durbin, actually knows if he would have had a mild case regardless.

What I do know is that if you are at the point of copying and pasting your COVID-19 infection announcements because you keep getting the virus despite getting every shot available, maybe just don’t. It only makes you look silly and unserious. It’s not convincing anyone to go get the vaccine. If anything, it’s having the opposite effect. Better to keep it to yourself, battle out your mild cold, and act like you’ve been there before because, well, you have.

Senate holds hearing on gun control

March 16, 2023 by Tom Knighton Leave a Comment

The Senate is now in the hands of Democrats. Completely.

As a result, that body can do all kinds of silly things, such as hold hearings on gun control, which is exactly what they did.

That’s when committee chair Sen. Dick Durbin said about the dumbest thing he could have.

The Senate Judiciary Committee heard from both sides of the gun control debate in a hearing to preserve public safety in light of the Supreme Court’s decision in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen. In that case, the court struck down a New York state law that made it difficult to obtain a concealed weapon permit.

Under Bruen, courts must consider the text of a law and the history of firearms regulation. Before Bruen, courts used a “history and means-end scrutiny” test to consider the law in light of Constitutional principles and the current issues and circumstances.

Committee Chair Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said Bruen fails to take into account modern legal, social, and technological issues. The founders were only familiar with muzzle-loading rifles and could not have foreseen modern firearms, he said at the March 15 hearing.

“I don’t believe the founders of this nation would want this radical new framework,” Durbin said.

This is an old, tired talking point. “The Founders couldn’t have imagined anything but single-fire guns.”

Durbin’s comment ignores so much it’s almost hilarious.

First, the idea that failure to foresee new technology should change anything is bogus. We don’t accept that reasoning with regard to things like the internet. Sure, there were questions of how to handle things, but there was never any doubt that people were going to have free speech despite the new technology, which was well beyond what our Founders likely imagined.

We don’t ignore someone’s Fourth Amendment rights because it’s a cell phone and not their home, either.

Our rights don’t change simply because technology did.

As for our Founding Fathers not being able to picture modern firearms, that may be true but only as a matter of degree. The puckle gun showed that repeating firearms were certainly feasible and the Lewis and Clark expedition had a Girardoni air rifle that had a capacity of 30 rounds and was lethal to humans. Oh, and it was in service with the Austrian Army between 1780 and 1815 while the Second Amendment was ratified in 1791.

So yeah, I’m sure the modern AR-15 wouldn’t be that big of a leap for them.

Further, let’s also remember that the Second Amendment covered heavy artillery. If you had the money, you could outfit an entire warship at your own expense and there was literally nothing illegal about it. That’s enough firepower to destroy a small down back in the day, so don’t even try to claim that the Second Amendment covered less lethal weapons than what we have today.

I love my AR-15, but it doesn’t blow up buildings, contrary to what many seem to think.

The truth is, the Senate wants to see gun control passed and they’re ignorant, at best, of the history of firearms. They don’t realize that while the specifics may have changed, the broad strokes really haven’t.

So, they’ll have their hearings on gun control and pretend they’re doing something. If they get their way, they will actually do something.

They’ll step all over the Second Amendment, contrary to what they’ve deluded themselves to believe.
