Good!
They are both complicit and incompetent.
Wait, what?? Where is this?!?!? I need this info for ammo!!
I haven’t seen anything about young girls, but numerous affairs and hookers.
Doctor’s offices? Some still require them here, but you don’t have to put on until you get to the door.
Hope your hubby is in good health.
BREAKING: SCOTUS Strikes Down Biden-Backed Police Firearm Seizure Case
The Supreme Court has dealt the Biden administration a defeat on a “caretaking” case. The case tested whether or not police could enter private property without a warrant if an individual was believed to pose a threat to himself or others.
In the case Caniglia v. Strom, the Supreme Court ruled that “caretaking” did not justify entering a man’s home to remove firearms because he was believed to have expressed suicidal thoughts. The man was taken to a local mental health facility for psychiatric evaluation.
“What is reasonable for vehicles is different from what is reasonable for homes,” Justice Clarence Thomas wrote in his opinion. Thomas noted that the “community caretaking” exception did not constitute “a standalone doctrine that justifies warrantless searches and seizures in the home.”
The Supreme Court’s ruling was unanimous.

This is great news and the fact that it was unanimous is even better! The dems might have to pack the court with more than four justices.
Masks were required everywhere not just at the doctor’s office which I can understand somewhat.
Masks at the Mall, masks at Costco, masks at restaurants, all required even though the mask mandate was dropped.
As I said very depressing to me.
Face masks are MAGA hats for liberals.
LOL Good one, Vlad.
The Supreme Court’s ruling was unanimous.AMAZING!
Another squadron of pigs just flew over the capitol!
From what they’re reporting here in TN, even though there’s no longer a mask mandate (except in certain cities, like Nashville), a private business may choose to require the masks for admittance. Kinda like ‘no shirt, no shoes, no service’.
That being said, I’ve seen news reports of various retailers announcing they will not require the masks nor ask for proof of vaccination. Some stores I entered this weekend still had signs up, but others (such as Lowes) had no signs but the employees are still required to wear them.
Bill is so dedicated to Microsoft that he couldn’t have had an affair with another company’s employee.
That’s awful! How long ago was the mask mandate dropped there? For a week or two a few stores asked customers to wear masks, but gave up as only a few were complying. There are sti., a coup,e here and there wearing masks, but if they want to. That’s ok by me.
Hash browns?
So, who is the most profitable company in the world? You probably think the answer is: “Apple.”
However, you would be wrong.
The calculation of corporate profits includes an interesting company not widely recognized in most analyses. If you are an astute follower of our blog, you already know the answer.
Yes, you guessed it (and it’s in the title). It’s the Federal Reserve.
When the Treasury Department pays interest on the debt, an expense to the U.S. Government, the Federal Reserve takes that in as “profits,” as reported on their balance sheet. At the end of the year, the Fed remits a portion of the “revenue” back to the Government.
These “profits,” which are generated by the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet, are included in the NIPA measure of corporate profits. As shown, actual corporate profitability substantially weaker once you extract the Fed’s profits from the analysis.
To put this into perspective, in 2020, the Federal Reserve generated more income than Apple, Microsoft, JP Morgan, Facebook, McDonald’s, Coca-Cola, Walmart, Home Depot, Intel, Johnson & Johnson, Bank of America, Nike, Visa, Amazon, and Netflix – COMBINED.
It’s pretty incredible.
Nonetheless, since the Fed’s balance sheet is part of the corporate profit calculation, we must include them in our analysis. While the media focus is on record operating profits, reported corporate profits are roughly at the same level are only slightly higher than they were in 2011. Yet, the market has been making consistent new highs during that same period.
A Guarantee Of Poor Returns
The detachment of the stock market from underlying profitability guarantees poor future outcomes for investors. But, as is always the case, the markets can certainly seem to “remain irrational longer than logic would predict,” but it never lasts indefinitely.
“Profit margins are probably the most mean-reverting series in finance, and if profit margins do not mean-revert, then something has gone badly wrong with capitalism. If high profits do not attract competition, there is something wrong with the system, and it is not functioning properly.” – Jeremy Grantham
When we look at inflation-adjusted profit margins as a percentage of inflation-adjusted GDP, we see a straightforward process of mean-reverting activity over time. Of course, those mean reverting events always occur coincident with recessions, crises, or bear markets.

Just got back from Slaveway where it was so easy to tell the locals from the mask wearing flatlanders.
Saw and spoke to maskless friends.
I can’t remember when our Gov. released us from the face diaper but it has been a little while.
You are right, Spirit, many stores doing what they want to.
I’m finding the chain stores are still masking up especially the employees.
Will these germ-catcher things ever go away?
