• Gen. Mark Milley: China Becoming ‘More Aggressive’ in Pacific

• Fauci Says He Is ‘Open’ on Virus Lab Leak Theory

First these “experts” ignored the facts, often for months or years. Then, when they could no longer ignore reality, they ridiculed those who accepted reality. They called them conspiracy theorists, alarmists, or idiots. Finally, when reality is about to hit them in the face, they reverse course 180 degrees. They suddenly discover what others knew all along. They pose as disciples of the truth, paragons of honesty, and role models of realism. That’s it in a word: they pose.

Yes sir, with the general’s permission, China has been aggressive in the Pacific and elsewhere for decades. Yes doctor, the Wuhan lab leak has been talked about since Covid first broke out in 2020. I’m so pleased that you geniuses finally took time out of your busy schedules to notice what millions already knew. You should be proud indeed. Now get out of the way, and let us deal with the unpleasant realities you so belatedly recognized.
