The Times They Are A-Changin’
It’s Friday, and there are a couple of things that have been on my radar that I’ve been keeping on the back burner. One is the looming risk the powers that be might try to yank the rug out from under Donald Trump by intentionally tanking the economy. The other is the gradual drip, drip, drip of fearmongering headlines about bird flu.
Granted, most people in the MAGA crowd are probably not staying tuned into these stories, because they’re too busy keeping track of all the winning. However, we’d all be wise to stay loosely apprised of what’s being fed into the minds of the masses, and also keep tabs on the more astute financial analysis provided by clear-minded thinkers.
Along with a hefty dose of liberal lawmakers screeching about America being in a “constitutional crisis” and their growing calls for violence—one jackass Democrat has openly called for the use of weapons against Musk, live on CNN—the other major thread of thought that’s being sown into the left’s collective psyche is that Trump’s funding cuts are going to exacerbate the bird flu into an “existential crisis.”
I’ll give you a taste of what many lefties are reading:
* How America lost control of the bird flu and raised the risk of another pandemic
* Bird flu crisis: Trump, Biden officials begin talks on outbreak
* Eggs Hit by Bird Flu Crisis as Farmers Lose Flocks to Virus
* "No Eggs, No Eggs, No Eggs": Severe Rationing In US Stores Amid Bird Flu Crisis
* Why has California declared a state of emergency over bird flu?
* As bird flu ravages poultry industry, the damage spreads
* New strain of bird flu is detected in a Nevada dairy worker, CDC
* Ohio reports first human case of bird flu: Here's what to know
* Migrants are on the front lines of the bird flu crisis
* Will Trump's Diminished Data Sharing at CDC Hamper Bird Flu
* U.S. Bird Flu Cases Surge in Early 2025
To be clear, I believe this propaganda is laying the groundwork for another pandemic. Whether or not they actually pull the trigger and try to use the pandemic playbook to undermine Trump between now and the midterms is a matter of speculation. These recent headlines point toward the possibility:
