Corona-Maßnahmen waren laut Robert Koch Institute wirksam für Pandemie-Bekämpfung. Wirklich!

Hatte vorgehabt diesen Bericht des Robert Koch Instituts etwa zeitgleich mit dessen Veröffentlichung hier zu kommentieren, kam aber nicht dazu. Anscheinend war mein sofortiger Verdacht nicht daneben!

Die staatlichen Maßnahmen, die wegen Covid-19 ergriffen wurden waren viel zu drakonisch und wurden viel zu lange aufrecht erhalten!!! Spätestens seit Mitte 2020 war bekannt, dass Covid-19 allgemein nicht sehr gefährlich, aber leider sehr ansteckend ist.

Dann erschien heute dies Schlagzeile und Artikel Was die „StopptCOVID“-Studie des RKI sagt - und was nicht Mit dem Forschungsprojekt „StopptCOVID“ untersuchte das Robert-Koch-Institut die Wirksamkeit der Maßnahmen zur Eindämmung des Corona-Virus. Doch die Studie enttäuscht, da sie aufgrund massiver methodischer Mängel keine belastbaren Aussagen liefert.


Mein originaler Ansatz/Erster Entwurf von Ende Juli:

Was für ein Blödsinn! Habe unter dem label coronavirus hier seit 2020 sehr häufig gebloggt!

1. Covid-19 war eine verhältnismäßig harmlose Erkrankung für die meisten Menschen vergleichbar mit einer schweren Erkältung oder Grippe. Covid-19 war keine schnell tötende Krankheit! Covid-19 war sehr ansteckend, aber nicht sehr tödlich!
2. Viele Angesteckte hatten keine oder nur milde Symptome und waren nach kurzer Erkrankung auf natürliche Weise immun
3. Kinder waren z.B. nicht bedroht. Überwiegend gesunde Menschen ebensowenig. Es galt also vornehmlich alte Menschen und Menschen mit angeschlagenem Immunsystem zu schützen.
4. Dies war alles etwa Mitte 2020 bekannt.

Corona-Maßnahmen waren laut RKI wirksam für Pandemie-Bekämpfung Viele Corona-Maßnahmen haben während der Pandemie für Kritik und kontroverse Diskussionen gesorgt. Nun legt das Robert-Koch-Institut einen Bericht zur Wirksamkeit vor.

Judge dismisses major arguments in Google antitrust case

Good news!

Is the administration of the senile, demented, and corrupt 46th President engaged in another lawfare besides against Trump? Against big tech?

"The government’s antitrust case against Google just got significantly smaller. In a filing on Friday, a US district court judge dismissed several of the claims that the Department of Justice and a coalition of states brought against the company, including allegations that Google Search harms competing services. ..."

Trump lügt notorisch. Darf ein Präsident in einer Parallelwelt leben? Wirklich!

Wieder mal hat die Swamp Journalistin Erika Burri (Washington) der Neuen Züricher Zeitung zugeschlagen!

Die Dame sollte sich auch dringendst wegen ernstem Trump Derangement Syndrome behandeln lassen.

Der einzig wahre notorische Lügner ist Joseph Biden, der seit beginn seiner sehr lebenslangen Karriere als Berufspolitiker unzählige Male und nachweisbar gelogen hat. Biden ist der pathologischer Lügner par Excellence. Nun versucht diese aberwitzige Journalistin Trump zu bezichtigen!

Als leitender Redakteur hätte ich diese Dame längst gefeuert oder versetzt!

Trump lügt notorisch. Darf ein Präsident in einer Parallelwelt leben? Selbst der Sonderermittler Jack Smith sagt, dass der Ex-Präsident Unwahrheiten verbreiten dürfe. Ihm geht es nicht um dessen Worte, sondern um die Taten. Kritiker sagen, das sei nicht unproblematisch.

China not expected to push Russian return to Black Sea grain deal. That is a shame!

If true, what a missed opportunity for China and Xi Jinping to demonstrate to the world that China is a responsible global force for good after it e.g. unleashed the global Covid-19 pandemic!

Only peacemakers are blessed not rogue dictators collaborating with each other!

"China is likely hurting economically from the collapse of the Black Sea Grain Initiative, but experts say Beijing appears content not to pressure Russia to return to the deal, which allowed both Russia and Ukraine to ship agricultural products worldwide despite the war."

Trump plans to ask for recusal of federal judge overseeing 2020 election case and for venue change. The Founding Fathers and Mothers are watching!

These two reasonable requests will already cause a major conundrum for the Swamp, RINOs etc.! This beautiful dilemma will severely rattle them! 

To avoid the judge's recusal to become a severe boomerang, the ambitious, activist judge from the Swamp (born in Jamaica) has to cooperate very quickly. Will she? Will she be bribed or will bribery attempts be made? And so on ... 

If the venue change is not granted ... 

A very smart move! It has the power to expose what turned America the beautiful, the shining city on a hill into a banana republic! 

This could become one of those rare and great historical moments generations of our ancestors will still talk about and marvel at!

And the American people and the world will have a front row seat in this unfolding spectacle! If done correctly it could be the reawakening of the American Spirit of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness, of the Declaration of Independence, of the American Revolution!
Go for it!

Please make no mistakes while executing these requests! Don't let it backfire etc.! Be fully aware of the significance! No screw ups please!

Cybersecurity Threats From Online Gaming

The world has fast become a global village thanks to the Internet, satellites, undersea cables and so on. 

Anytime connectivity of all things and all people across the globe is becoming reality and that is great great! The possibilities and opportunities are endless only limited by our ability to imagine! However!

Idiom: The two sides of a coin. Or the two faced Roman Janus who presides over peace and war!

I strongly believe this intense battle or arms race between good and evil can be won to the great benefit of humanity! Human ingenuity will do it as time goes on! Criminals, bad actors, or government agencies will mostly  loose! It is only a matter of time!

Potentially, in a a few years or in 1-2 decades we could possibly make global elections possible. Global direct democracy is on the horizon! We should thank the gamers! 😊

"From the emergence of the video game “Pong” in 1972 to the release of “Hogwart’s Legacy” in 2023, the video gaming industry has come a long way. With a revenue of over US$227 billion in 2022, gaming is no longer the niche industry it was once thought to be. The number of gamers in the world is expected to reach a figure of 3.32 billion by 2024. This recent surge in growth has, in a large part, been a result a of the COVID-19 pandemic when the market expanded by about 26 percent between 2019 and 2021.
However, this popular form of recreation has also imperilled cybersecurity. There has been a surge in cyberattacks on the gaming sector, with an increase of 167 percent in web application attacks in 2021 alone. In 2022, the gaming industry became the biggest target of Distributed Denial of Service attacks, accounting for about 37 percent of all such attacks. Account takeovers, cheating mods, credit card theft, and fraud are all issues faced by gamers on a regular basis. The most alarming development, however, was the leaking of secret documents in April 2023 containing confidential US Intelligence on a videogame chat server, in what has come to be described as the worst Pentagon leak in years. This just goes to show how ignorance of this threat could have unforeseen and potentially catastrophic consequences, even from a national security perspective. ..."

Singapore political drama exposes frailty of Lee's succession plan

Usually, this very special and important city state in Asia is rarely in the news!

Water Wars: Cooling The Data Centers

This headline is probably more about sensationalism than reality! However, the cooling requirements for ever more data centers around the world is a valid and major concern!

How efficient is the recycling of the water in data centers? Or what is the leak/loss of water?
Can water be substituted by another abundant, harmless and cheap coolant?

One more reason why it so important to invest more money into e.g. superconductors, water desalination, nuclear fusion and so on then wasting tons of money on e.g. unreliable environmentally hazardous windmills!

What's at stake in the emerging normalization between Israel and Saudi Arabia?

Is Saudi Arabia finally coming around to complete the Abraham Accords? Blessed are the peacemakers!

Will Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman make a difference? Quite possibly!

Hopefully, the senile, demented, and corrupt 46th President and his administration of jokers will not screw up!

The Abraham Accords, one of the signature achievements of President Trump, keeps on giving.

"For years, Israel and the US have been dreaming of an agreement between Israel and Saudi Arabia. Three years ago, Saudi Arabia participated in the negotiations on the Abraham Accords, but then withdrew. Israel eventually signed the accords with the UAE and Bahrain.

In the past year, the US administration has made feverish efforts to forge relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia, but the latter has played very hard to get, and the matter has remained a question that the rulers of the respective countries prefer to avoid. That is, until US President Joe Biden’s remark the other week to contributors to his re-election campaign. ...
According to these reports, Saudi Arabia is linking normalization with Israel to substantial demands from the US. The first is a civilian nuclear facility capable of enriching uranium. The Saudis also want a defense pact with the US, because of their fears of Iran, and the sale to it of F-35 combat aircraft. As far as Israel is concerned, they are demanding progress on the Palestinian issue, involving a halt to construction in Judea and Samaria for an extended period, and even a commitment to refrain from annexation of territory. ..."

Ukraine counter-offensive: Can it still succeed?

My impression is that all these traditional, classical military offensive or strategy analysis with maps and so forth does not really apply any more to a war in the digital and drone age.

Farmers are being paid millions to trap carbon in their soils

The what seems to be an eternal abundance of human follies is one of those truly astonishing facts of life. There is no scarcity ever! Why do humans learn so slowly? AI to the rescue please!

Other farmers are asked to kill their herds of animals to save the planet and so on.

What a waste of money that could be spent more wisely e.g. on next generation nuclear power (carbon free), nuclear fusion power (perhaps the ultimate source of permanent reliable power at scale), tasty meat substitutes, autonomous vehicles (save on gas and electricity), remote working (saves on commute and air travel etc.), vertical agriculture and many more things that make a lot more sense!

"... Millions of dollars of soil credits have already been sold, and companies like Indigo are ramping up aggressively to claim a piece of an industry that could overall be worth $50 billion by 2030, according the consulting firm McKinsey & Company. With other carbon markets based on planting or preserving trees facing accusations of peddling questionable or outright fraudulent credits, some buyers may see soil as a safer option. ..."

Unwetter in China: Haben die Behörden eine 700 000-Einwohner-Stadt geflutet, um Peking zu schützen?

Das ist eine sehr schwerwiegende Anschuldigung? Aber für eine totalitäre Diktatur, wie die der Kommunistischen Partei von China ist das nichts Ungewöhnliches.

Es gab auch andere Berichte, das hier erhebliches Versagen von der Regierung vorliegt. Z.B. die städtische Entwässerung in Notfällen, wie bei starkem Regen soll vernachlässigt worden sein.

Dann waren da noch die verschleiernden Maßnahmen der chinesischen Regierung zu Beginn des Ausbruchs der globalen Covid-19 Pandemie, mit der die ganze Welt hinters Licht geführt wurde. Bis heute hat Parteiführer Xi Jinping dafür nicht Rechenschaft abgelegt. Der Rest der Welt hat dazu leider den tiefen Kotau bis heute gemacht!

Hoffentlich werden viele und mutige Chinesischen Bürger endlich aufwachen und die seit rund 75 Jahren herrschende kommunistische Diktatur beenden. Auf den Misthaufen der Geschichte mit dieser Diktatur!

China: Wut der Bürger wegen Hochwasser in Zhuozhou und Peking Nach den heftigsten Regenfällen seit 140 Jahren wollte die Regierung den Druck auf die Hauptstadt drosseln – und machte das südwestlich gelegene Zhuozhou offenbar zum Rückhaltebecken. Die Bürger sind empört.

How Russia Is Using former Ukrainian Missiles and bombers to Attack the Ukraine, which the Ukraine turned over to Russia in an agreement with Russia in 1999

Not only did the Ukraine give up its nuclear arsenal in 1992 to Russia in exchange for guaranteed sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Putin the Terrible is a megalomaniac war criminal and heir to Stalin!

"Russia is bombarding Ukraine with missiles that it received from Kyiv in 1999 in a debt repayment agreement, a new report has claimed.

What was the agreement?

In 1999, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine headed by Valeriy Pustovoitenko and the Russian government led by Vladimir Putin, signed an agreement in Yalta to settle the issue of a debt owed for Russian natural gas.

Panda Jealous Of Colorful Peacock

Naked Peacock only survives playing dead.
Then Panda discovers that the pretty feathers make for a good toothpick! 👍😊👏

I was stunned to see the Peacock fly. I learnt in childhood or so that zoos etc. generally would clip peacocks to prevent them from flying.

Powder keg Syria

I am not an expert on the current situation in Syria, but it seems to be complex, ambiguous not very transparent.

However, my fear is any mistake in the ongoing, volatile military conflicts in Syria could potentially trigger a full blown, open World War III.

The Russo-Ukrainian War is already a World War III by any other name. We are living in times of heightened tensions between nuclear superpowers plus NATO.

The so called Syrian Civil War has been going on since 2011. The main external state belligerents active in this war in no particular order are Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Russia, U.S., Israel. The total number of killed in this war is reported to be over 500,000.

This war in Syria has the potential to escalate!

Besides Syria we have more hotspots like the Baltic Sea and Poland!

Hope and pray an all out open World War III does not happen!

John Kerry in China: Peking knüpft Kampf gegen Klimawandel an Vorbedingung. Wirklich!

Das scheint oder könnte eine neue möglicherweise folgenreiche Entwicklung im Miteinander, in der Beziehung der beiden Supermächte zu sein!

Anmerkungen:
  1. John Kerry (79 Jahre) ist ein elitärer Vollidiot! Ein lebenslanger, schmieriger superreicher Politiker, der einst ein anti-Kriegs Demonstrant (his only claim to fame) war. Seit einiger Zeit scheint er auch kognitiv auffällig zu sein, ähnlich wie der senile, demente, korrupte und langzeitige Verbündete 46igste Präsident. Er ist ein Vertreter der zunehmenden Gerontokratie, sprich lebenslange Berufspolitiker die nicht wissen wann es Zeit ist aufzuhören und mit den Enkelkindern zu spielen. 
  2. China versucht anscheinend die gegenwärtige Schwäche der USA zu ihrem Vorteil zu nutzen. Wer kann es den Chinesen verdenken! Wer nicht die Kunst des Krieges von Sunzi gelesen und verstanden hat, hat das nachsehen.
  3. Der Westen ist total umnebelt und verdummt von dem Global Warming hoax und der Climate Change religion. Die cleveren Chinesen wissen das dieser Klimawahn/-krise fast rein erfunden und nicht Wirklichkeit ist. Oder haben etwa die chinesischen Propagandisten diese künstliche Panik im Westen gefördert und angetrieben? Jede Wette!
  4. Der Westen braucht unbedingt verfassungsrechtliche Amtszeitbegrenzungen, um der Kaste und dem Unwesen der lebenslangen Berufspolitiker zu entgegen.
Ergo, der Westen ist gut beraten aufzupassen, während China munter weiter etwa zwei neue Kohlekraftwerke pro Woche bewilligt! Der Bestand an in Betrieb befindlichen Kohlekraftwerken in China liegt bei etwa über 1,100, damit ist China absoluter Weltmeister vor Indien mit etwa knapp 300.

John Kerry in China: Peking knüpft Kampf gegen Klimawandel an Vorbedingung Peking will erst bessere Beziehungen mit Washington, danach sind Klima-Kooperationen möglich. Das wurde beim Besuch des US-Klimabeauftragten John Kerry in China deutlich. Auch um Taiwan ging es.

Die Richterin, die mit ihrem Prozess gegen Trump in die amerikanische Geschichte eingehen wird. Wirklich!

In der Einleitung suggeriert der Journalist es handele sich bei der Richterin um eine linke Aktivistin! Mit dieser Einschätzung liegt der Idiot wohl ausnahmsweise richtig!

Ukraine's invisible battle to jam Russian weapons and vice versa

Ukraine hits Russia's oil and grain export infrastructure in Novorosissysk, an important civilian and navy port

Apparently, it was a great offensive success for the Ukraine!

Ukraine struck one of Russia’s largest ports, disrupting shipments of grain and oil and threatening world food and energy markets

This is a very dangerous escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian War!

Putin the Terrible started the latest escalation by literally blowing up and bombing the grain deal. Most recently he attacked some ports along the Danube of the Ukraine. Who or what will finally stop the megalomaniac war criminal in the Kremlin?

Several hundred million people may suffer starvation from these latest actions between these two bread baskets of the world!

Five 2020 election irregularities, illegalities that collide with Jack Smith's Trump indictment

Very recommendable! Caveat: I did not have time to read the whole article!

It appears the article forgot mention that the biggest irregularity of all was the unprecedented, rapid, and massive switch to mail in voting due to the global Covid-19 pandemic caused perhaps by a lab leak at the Chinese  Wuhan Institute of Virology, where controversial if not illegal research was financed by U.S. government funds! Mail in voting is much more prone to manipulation than in person voting! There have been numerous reports about dubious activities etc. etc. Please see also my recent blog post here about this topic.

Bananenrepublik D.:Hektischer Zubau nützt nichts: Solar und Wind 2023 im Minus

Wer sich auf Windenergie und Solarenergie zur Generierung der notwendigen und verlässlichen Grundlast eines hochindustrialisierten Landes wie D. verlässt spinnt gewaltig! Es fehlt u.a. an enormer Speicherkapazität, um z.B. die vielen Flauten oder Tage/Wochen/Nächte ohne Sonnenschein zu überbrücken usw. usw.

Die Bananenrepublik D. macht munter und bunter weiter! Kanzler Scholz hat keinen Plan und schaut zu! Durchwursteln ist die Parole!

Hektischer Zubau nützt nichts: Solar und Wind 2023 im Minus Im ersten Halbjahr erzeugten Erneuerbare-Energien-Anlagen weniger als im Vorjahreszeitraum – trotz der Errichtung von über 500 neuen Windrädern, für die sich Robert Habeck lobt. Auch andere Daten zeigen die Absurdität seiner Energiewende.

Reading for fun plunges to ‘crisis’ level for US students

How times change over the millennia! Stone tablets and parchment were replaced with paper. Paper served us so well for at least the last 600 years.

Now we are in the digital age! Books or other paper based reading materials have become like stone tablets for younger generations!

How do we teach the next generation about all the great things that happened and all the important lessons learnt in the past and distant past? A tremendous challenge!

On e.g. YouTube you can learn so much if you know what to select among the hundreds of millions of videos.

"Only 14 percent of students say they read for fun every day, according to the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) report released recently, down 3 percentage points from 2020 and 13 since 2012. The report indicates 31 percent of students never or hardly ever read for fun. ..."

U.S. Credit Rating Downgrade, the second one, Is a Sign of Government Dysfunction

Hard to disagree with that statement! The U.S. government debt to GDP ratio is above 120%, one of the highest ratios of all members of the OECD!

E.g. whatever happened to President Reagan's support of a balanced budget amendment?

Virginia’s Regulatory Reforms Are Role Model for Other States and the federal government

Here is another serious contender to become the next GOP presidential candidate in 2024! The governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia: Glenn Youngkin!

He is a lot more quiet than Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump, but do not underestimate this guy! His hour, his moment in history, may come sooner than later! Fate and prospects sometimes change for the better fast, unexpectedly and spontaneous! If not by the grace of a divine intervention! Prayers are heeded sometimes! 😊

"While the Biden administration’s Washington bureaucrats continue to push for heavy regulation of everything from power plants to ceiling fans, Americans on the other side of the Potomac River are poised to reap the benefits of an administrative accountability overhaul undertaken by Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin. 

The regulatory reforms come from the Virginia Office of Regulatory Management’s implementation of Youngkin’s Executive Order 19. In June 2022, Youngkin set out this order to make his state’s regulatory regime more efficient, less burdensome, and, above all, accountable to the people of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Executive Order 19 established the Virginia Office of Regulatory Management to oversee all Virginia regulatory procedures, and tasked the office with implementing a 25% reduction in regulatory burdens, ensuring a more transparent regulatory process, and enforcing new cost-benefit analysis standards for all new regulations. ..."

Dianne Feinstein's daughter holds power of attorney over ailing U.S. senator

What! Welcome to gerontocracy! 

The Dimocratic Party is becoming more and more a gallery of cognitively impaired lifelong career politicians! E.g. Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Mistress Kamala, 46th President ...

Very recently Feinstein was caught on a hot mic voting with someone instructing her what to vote for!

We urgently need constitutional term limits for all elected representatives! Lifelong career politicians are a caste and a curse of Western democracies!

In praise of George Washington and Cincinnatus!

Österreich will Recht auf Bargeld in Verfassung schreiben. Wirklich!

Wiedermal scheint die EU voranzugehen wie ein zentralistischer Einheits- und Obrigkeitsstaat!

Wiedermal wird der Brexit voll bestätigt als eine gute Entscheidung der britischen Bürger!

Leider sind im digitalen Zeitalter mit digitalen Währungen solche Bargeld Forderungen antiquiert und gehen daneben. Immer weniger Menschen zahlen mit Bargeld.

Wie digitale Währungen/Zahlungsmittel in der Zukunft konsequent und wirksam geschützt werden können vor Kriminellen oder etwaigen Entgleisungen/Missbrauch von Regierungen oder der ständigen Versuchung und vorkommenden Geldverschwendung von Politikern ist immer noch eine offene Frage. Darauf sollte man sich konzentrieren.

Österreich will Recht auf Bargeld in Verfassung schreiben Österreichs Bundeskanzler: „Die Menschen haben ein Recht auf Bargeld“. Die EU will das Bezahlen mit Bargeld auf 10.000 Euro begrenzen. Österreich lehnt das klar ab und will das Recht auf Bargeld in der Verfassung festschreiben. Die Bundesregierung hat dazu keine klare Position.

Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny is sentenced to ANOTHER 19 YEARS for 'extremism' in 'sham trial' as the UN and EU slam 'unacceptable' verdic

The anti Putin the Terrible! Putin the Terrible is the heir of Stalin!

When will Russia finally become an open society where the rule of law and a constitutional democracy and federalism are the defining features? How longer will the rest of the world have to wait for Russia to join?

Remember so many Russians in the past have tried to make this transition! Were their efforts in vain? 

When will the Russian people finally refuse to be any longer slavish Slavs to megalomaniac despots! When this happens the world will be a much better place!

Did Putin Miscalculate???

What a stupid rhetorical question? 

The megalomaniac war criminal Putin the Terrible totally blundered! 

Perhaps, his lesser important miscalculation (a despicable one) was to enlist large number of incarcerated criminals to fight in the Ukraine.

There is an international arrest warrant on Putin the Terrible!

Finland and Sweden are now NATO members. The Baltic See is now controlled by NATO.

The so called "special military operation" turned out to be a huge disaster after over 500 days!

He pissed off his best ally China by literally blowing up the grain deal! African countries have to worry now about starvation and famine and so on.

Will Putin the Terrible escalate the Russo-Ukrainian War to an open all out World War III. He certainly is trying hard!

Putin the Terrible is the heir of Stalin!

Putin the Terrible is a dangerously deranged old man with authority over one if not the largest nuclear weapons arsenal in the world!

How much longer will Putin the Terrible stay in office and what comes after him? How much longer will he be alive? These are the real questions!

Busting a Covert Chinese Bio-Lab in a small town in California

Here is more on this developing and disturbing story. What are the facts? What has been confirmed? 

I have covered this story here and here just a few hours earlier.

Just the fact that this possibly dangerous biological weapons lab was intentionally located in a small town in California (about 24 miles away south east from Fresno) also speaks volumes.

Is this a case of Lenin's famous quote: “The capitalists will sell us the rope with which to hang them”. Or how the enemies of Open Societies operate.

"... officials discovered a covert biological lab run by a shady Chinese company. What local officials found there was also unprecedented. ...
White mice had been genetically engineered to catch and carry the Covid virus, ... The illegal lab harbored potentially infectious bacterial and viral agents including chlamydia, E. Coli, streptococcus pneumonia, hepatitis B and C, herpes 1 and 5, rubella, samples of malaria and “thousands of vials that contained unlabeled fluids.” ...
privately funded research and development labs are not required to register with the government. That avoids the multiple permits required of those operating under state or federal grants. Someone in the state could have assisted the owners “to move from Fresno without licenses.” ...
Harper had also learned that mice are “unprotected” under the United States Department of Agriculture. According to the National Institutes of Health, mice and rats “have long served as the preferred species for biomedical research animal models.” ...
At the outset of August, the Fresno Bee and Sacramento Bee had not covered the story. Gov. Gavin Newsom had issued no statement on the lab and neither had the California Department of Toxic Substances Control or the California Department of Public Health. ..."

Why has no member of the administration of the 46th President resigned by now?

Simple answer: Lack of character and integrity! 

They want us to believe that the senile, demented, lifelong pathological liar and corrupt 46th President only talked about weather and he never had anything to do with his son's or his brother's business dealings! Yeah, right!

Would the VP Mistress Kamala or any number of the other members (jokers) resign an impeachment could be avoided. 

The Dimocratic Party would immediately regain some of its severely tarnished reputation and so on.

Instead, they stay on making America a banana republic!

U.S. Secretary of State Demands Action: Russia's Black Sea Blackmail Exposed

Blinken is another shady character in the Administration of the senile, demented and corrupt 46th President.

Any individual with character would have long resigned and preferred not to be any longer part of the administration of the 46th President. Same same goes for the other members of this administration and the press secretary and the Vice President Mistress Kamala!

However, in this rare instance he actually said it quite well!
