Random Election Thought…

Discussing a push-back victory against the left on Tuesday, we’re struck by the following reality:

912-teaparty-dc-09President Obama and his ideological co-horts have, presumably, pulled the Democrat party further left -toward bigger government- than previous.
For the sake of argument, ok, accepted.
However, the establishment Decepticon class has similarly, and over essentially the same period, also pulled the Republican party further left toward big government.
If the correction for Democrats is a more “moderate” position, essentially as “Clintonian” and outlined in the modern punditry, pushing back toward the center – then where exactly is the countering force pushing the Republican side similarly rightward, back toward a more principled conservative foundation?

"Hope is not a strategy" – the Relentless March of Microorganisms

In many of the Ebola pandemic discussions, people have talked about the exponential growth of ebola (and other micro organisms).  I have tried to explain that it is often easier to visualize – and understand – if the growth cycle is understood in logarithmic terms.
displacedpersonscampContributor “Frozen Patriot” does an admirable job of explaining the differences between interpreting the growth in exponential or logarithmic terms.
After the WRS post, I have linked to some self-study modules from entry level university courses if you want to try modelling and predicting the pandemic potential timeline yourself.

“Math Just Is”

Update: The Enterovirus D-68 Connection To Immigration Influx Gains Additional Attention – U.S. Scientists Hold A Conflict of Interest….

Neil Munro of The Daily Caller has an outline today exploring the EV-D68 virus against the backdrop of an increase to nine reported child deaths as a result of the virus spread: “Obama’s Border Policy Fueled Epidemic, Evidence Shows“.
Enterovirus Obama
One of the key takeaways from the Munro article is the unwillingness of CDC personnel to historically trace the source of the virus:

[…]  “In the current outbreak, there is one major group/clade which contains the vast majority of viruses, a minor group/clade that is related to the major group, and an outlier group/clade that has only a few viruses in it,” the CDC replied.

EV-D68 AlabamaThat’s critical information, because viral epidemics are usually powered by one new variety of a familiar virus. For example, the annual flu epidemics usually consist of a new mutation of an older flu virus. Because it is new, it bypasses immune responses that people acquired during prior flu waves, and then quickly jumps from person to person across the United States.

If confirmed, the presence of many strains would be further evidence that a population movement triggered the outbreaks, said Eden Wells, an assistant epidemiology professor at the University of Michigan’s School of Public Health.

[…] When CDC officials were asked by TheDC to explain this multi-city, multi-strain anomaly, they waffled: “There is no evidence that unaccompanied children brought EV-D68 to the United States; we are not aware of any of these children testing positive for the virus,” Oberste replied. (more…)

Fallujah Deja-Vu: Obama Prepares To Put Boots Back On The Ground In Iraq’s Anbar Province…

Almost worse than my severe disdain for President Obama’s short-sighted political decisions, is my supernova level dislike for the U.S. media who refuse to call him to task.... almost.   To retain my own personal sense of center I have tried to remove the word “hate” from my psyche, but it’s hard, really, really hard, right now…. can you just imagine the Fallujah ROE with Obama coordinating from the White House!

(h/t Weasel Zippers – Via Hot Air) Fallujah. Ramadi. Haditha. Americans know the names of the cities and assets in Iraq’s Anbar Province well. Their liberation was paid for in American blood. […]
“U.S. advisers currently operate in areas around Baghdad and Irbil in the north of the country,” CNN reported. “The new proposal would put U.S. troops in the middle of some of the most violent situations in Iraq.”

U.S. officials maintain that Iraqi support for Sunni tribes going on the offensive against ISIS will be a necessary part in the effort to defeat the militants, who are also called ISIL and refer to themselves as the Islamic State.
In a news conference with reporters Thursday, Gen. Martin Dempsey, the Joint Chiefs chairman, signaled the possibility of the new role when he said the Iraqi government had not yet requested U.S. military support in efforts to defend a Sunni tribe that has suffered mass executions at the hands of ISIS militants.

“That’s why we need to expand the train-advise-and-assist mission into the Al- Anbar Province,” Dempsey said. “But the precondition for that is that the government of Iraq is willing to arm the tribes. […] (more…)

"Ebola Kaci" – Why Losing Rights Temporarily Is Prudent…

Kaci HickoxGreat article at Canada Free Press – […]  Mary Mallon, “the most dangerous woman in America” was born in Ireland and later worked as a cook for wealthy families in New York.
She was the first known carrier of typhoid fever in the USA, and although without any symptoms, she was still contagious and continued to spread the disease to at least 53 persons (who spread it to others), three of whom died.
It is thought she infected 50 others who died but it could not be determined since she changed her name so often. She refused to stop working as a cook and was confined to a hospital where she died 20 years later.
Mary worked as a cook from 1900 to 1907 in New York City area and within two weeks of her employment, residents developed typhoid fever. Then she moved to New York City where members of the family for whom she worked developed fever and diarrhea, and the laundress died.
Mallon then went to work for a lawyer; she quit after seven of the eight people in that household became ill. She took other positions in Long Island, and left a trail of infection everywhere. She always resigned when family members became ill. (more…)
