Large Strike Zone

Facts vs Feelings politics & policy. Calling balls and strikes with data, history & real outcomes. Zero bias. Hosted by Harlan Voss.

[Large Strike Zone @LargeStrikeZone]

Welcome to Large Strike Zone.
I’m Harlan Voss. We give every political view a wide zone under the Constitution — but only the pitches grounded in facts, history, and real-world outcomes count as strikes.
No rage-bait. No team jersey. Just the rulebook and the results.
Drop your call on this one in the comments (Clean Strike, Borderline Pitch, Catches the Corner, or Ball) and tell us which part of the record decided it for you.
If you want the next pitch broken down the same way, subscribe and hit the bell. You can also follow the ongoing calls on X: @LargeStrikeZone

Nine days after Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times, the most important contrast in his private diary is still being under-discussed.
Private notes: the market was the amplifier, not the origin.
Private notes: deliberate insertion was treated as possible on an early international call.
Private notes: direct persuasion of de Blasio and California leadership on school closures.
Public language later: “I had nothing to do with it.” We put the exact dates and wording side-by-side. Full breakdown: https://t.co/FOWF9duDL8
@RandPaul — which of these documented gaps do you see as the most consequential? #FauciDiary

Italy is reacting to the symptom.

The original mechanism was a Spanish court ruling that removed immediate returns for people who swam instead of climbing the fence. That change, plus the 33-day delay in installing the water barrier the court itself authorized, is what created the opening.

The military intelligence warning three days prior is important.

Even more important is that the Supreme Court had already handed Madrid the exact legal fix for the fast-track gap on June 29 — and the barrier wasn’t started until August 1.

33 days of delay after the court told them how to close the route.

The numbers are still the most striking part.

72,000 into a city of 84,000 in three days after a narrow court ruling removed the fast-track return process for one route. Most turned around from hunger before the floating barrier was even installed.
