America’s COVID-19 guru Anthony Fauci contradicts himself so often that we literally can’t believe anything he says.

That “Fauci” in Italian means “jaws” or “mouth” certainly lends itself to some humor.

Then there’s how Lockdown Tony had helped position us in the gaping maw of economic death. There’s also, however, how heeding his counsel has placed us in the jaws of confusion — within which he, apparently, has been ensnared for decades.
