One option is getting a job.
Good point.
We are now in that time where we can say history is repeating itself in a very dangerous way.
In the past, when people said something that didn’t fit the narrative they were jailed and killed.
The Earth is round was not a very popular opinion and was rejected for a long time, people were killed for believing this.
Look at Galileo, “father of observational astronomy”, the “father of modern physics”, the “father of the scientific method”, and the “father of modern science.
Galileo’s championing of Copernican heliocentrism (Earth rotating daily and revolving around the sun) was met with opposition from within the Catholic Church and from some astronomers. The matter was investigated by the Roman Inquisition in 1615, which concluded that heliocentrism was foolish, absurd, and heretical since it contradicted Holy Scripture.[9][10][11]
Galileo later defended his views in Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems (1632), which appeared to attack Pope Urban VIII and thus alienated both the Pope and the Jesuits, who had both supported Galileo up until this point.[9] He was tried by the Inquisition, found “vehemently suspect of heresy”, and forced to recant. He spent the rest of his life under house arrest.

Believe the 2020 election was stolen, participate in a lawful protest, find yourself jailed, your rights abused and your life destroyed.
Believe the vax is bad, explain why, suggest alternatives and lose your licence to practice medicine.
Only a couple of examples but the left is ramping it up.
WE ARE AT WAR!!
Just what are we going to do about it?
Good morning, Rusty!
I wish I could say that I have been sleeping well but I can’t, glad you are.
Just can’t seem to get more than 4-5 hours, makes my brain fuzzy, well, fuzzier than usual. LOL
NEW DETAILS EMERGE ABOUT CORONAVIRUS RESEARCH AT CHINESE LAB
More than 900 pages of materials related to US.-funded coronavirus research in China were released following a FOIA lawsuit by The Intercept.

NEWLY RELEASED documents provide details of U.S.-funded research on several types of coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China. The Intercept has obtained more than nine hundred pages of documents detailing the work of the EcoHealth Alliance, a U.S.-based health organization that used federal money to fund bat coronavirus research at the Chinese laboratory. The trove of documents includes two previously unpublished grant proposals that were funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, as well as project updates relating to the EcoHealth Alliance’s research, which has been scrutinized amid increased interest in the origins of the pandemic.
The documents were released in connection with ongoing Freedom of Information Act litigation by The Intercept against the National Institutes of Health. The Intercept is making the full documents available to the public.
“This is a roadmap to the high-risk research that could have led to the current pandemic,” said Gary Ruskin, executive director of U.S. Right To Know, a group that has been investigating the origins of Covid-19.
One of the grants, titled “Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence,” outlines an ambitious effort led by EcoHealth Alliance president Peter Daszak to screen thousands of bat samples for novel coronaviruses. The research also involved screening people who work with live animals. The documents contain several critical details about the research in Wuhan, including the fact that key experimental work with humanized mice was conducted at a biosafety level 3 lab at Wuhan University Center for Animal Experiment — and not at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, as was previously assumed. The documents raise additional questions about the theory that the pandemic may have begun in a lab accident, an idea that Daszak has aggressively dismissed.
The bat coronavirus grant provided the EcoHealth Alliance with a total of $3.1 million, including $599,000 that the Wuhan Institute of Virology used in part to identify and alter bat coronaviruses likely to infect humans. Even before the pandemic, many scientists were concerned about the potential dangers associated with such experiments. The grant proposal acknowledges some of those dangers: “Fieldwork involves the highest risk of exposure to SARS or other CoVs, while working in caves with high bat density overhead and the potential for fecal dust to be inhaled.”
Alina Chan, a molecular biologist at the Broad Institute, said the documents show that the EcoHealth Alliance has reason to take the lab leak theory seriously. “In this proposal, they actually point out that they know how risky this work is. They keep talking about people potentially getting bitten — and they kept records of everyone who got bitten,” Chan said. “Does EcoHealth have those records? And if not, how can they possibly rule out a research-related accident?”
According to Richard Ebright, a molecular biologist at Rutgers University, the documents contain critical information about the research done in Wuhan, including about the creation of novel viruses. “The viruses they constructed were tested for their ability to infect mice that were engineered to display human type receptors on their cell,” Ebright wrote to The Intercept after reviewing the documents. Ebright also said that the documents make it clear that two different types of novel coronaviruses were able to infect humanized mice. “While they were working on SARS-related coronavirus, they were carrying out a parallel project at the same time on MERS-related coronavirus,” Ebright said, referring to the virus that causes Middle East Respiratory Syndrome.

Top one is so true! So is the little bird
Yes, he is our leader in many ways, you’re right we only need follow his example
Glad you’ll be at the rally. I don’t suppose a doctors appointment would work on a weekend!
A friend from Minnesota used to say they had two seasons, and mosquito season and road repair.
“ABEM may withdraw or deny certification for that physician.”
We are living in 1984. It happened so quick, most are even aware of the tyrrany and loss iif freedoms yet.
Did you have the swing shift?
I hope you are feeling better.
I’m going to post that on FascismBook!
If I don’t get enough sleep I get grouchy. I’m not going to gloat, don’t want insomnia to come back to visit.
“Just what are we going to do about it?”
EXCELLENT post!
And we are in the majority.
And we have a beloved leader with only our country’s interests in mind.
And we have all the guns.
I assume we follow Trump?
Thanks.
Sweet!
Love the kitty vids every morning :)
lol, that’s a good one.
Good morning. You are welcome
