Liz had her sights on the White House and was on that path until she went full NeverTrump.

[gloryblaze]

Awesome pics! Swimming with a mask - OMG!

[bray]

Also, let’s start an arm out the window waving at cops movement. They need it now.

[kabar]

Liz Cheney represents a tiny minority of the GOP. The mouse that roared. Laughable that the MSM and Dems are saying how disastrous her removal will be for the GOP as though they want the party to be successful.

I ran across this podcast maybe 2 weeks ago. The two PhDs are more or less ‘leftists’ (home city Portland); however, they are ‘woke’ and I mean that in the best way i.e. shenanigans with the CHINA virus. The podcast below posted last night .... pretty darn good. They are more or less ‘outraged’ as to the situation involving ivermectin as not only a treatment, but a prophylactic for COVID. Very interesting to listen to them - both are real intellectuals & are very careful with their language. I’m kind of surprised the video is still up. Heather loves nature so they usually have something along those lines at the end of each podcast.

Bret and Heather 80th DarkHorse Podcast Livestream: What Covid Reveals About our Leaders
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxTODvTNHlw

Ivermectin discussion starts about 27 minutes in - bit of a ‘preamble’ on youtube first.

Description:
In this 80th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens. In this episode, we once again discuss the “lab leak” hypothesis for the origins of SARS-CoV2, as this week a letter published in Science has helped it gain yet more credibility in mainstream scientific circles. We then discuss ivermectin, a decades-old drug with a well-established history of efficacy against many human pathogens. What is its mechanism of action? What do Covid case rates in Africa, against a background of on-going prophylactic use of ivermectin for other conditions, suggest about its possible efficacy against Covid? Is it safe for children? Also, what does the FDA require of a new drug or treatment to grant Emergency Use Authorization? Does Merck have an opinion on the matter? How about the media? Finally, we discuss cicadas: when they’re coming back, why they do what they do, and why you’re lucky you’re not infected by Cordyceps fungus.

That's the quandary, for sure. I'm financially good, older, so often wish I didn't give a rip. Plus there's the Just exactly what to do besides vote thing.

But turning a blind eye doesn't accomplish a dang thing, either, and this country is worth saving. Keeping an eye on the opposition's moves is telling, if exasperating.

[palmer]

It's not zero risk. The clotting (stroke and heart attacks) seem to be the main risks. Numerically it's pretty low though.

[pugmama]

Wow- an honest( and smart) doctor who has not drunk the CDC kool aid. Will be interesting to see what Dr. Walensky is parroting today. She is everywhere on the talk shows.

[kabar]

Criminal what they are doing to children forcing them to wear masks. I went to the grocery store yesterday maskless. No longer mandatory in SC. Optional. I was one of about 10% in the store without a mask. Liberating. Thumbs up from others without masks, fear from those with them. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Re: turning off the tube: That's a great idea and Rush Limbaugh used to say this...

But that was because we had Rush to do it for us! And now Laura Ingraham and especially Tucker do a spectacular job of highlighting and explaining some of their nonsense (nonsense being charitable).

Thanks those are pretty generic not sure where they are from but most likely South Florida.

This Memorial day in the Keys we are expecting a crush of boaters that will likely create 30-40 mile traffic jams on our two lane highways.

There will be more traffic on the water than on the land. ...............

One of the fish that still won't be caught is the jewfish aka Goliath grouper.

.........................

A divided board of Florida game regulators took a tentative step Wednesday that might eventually allow fishermen to catch and kill goliath groupers, a fish that was almost driven to extinction 30 years ago by over fishing and pollution.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission told its staff to craft a regulation it has proposed that would allow 100 goliaths to be caught and kept annually during a four-year period. Supported by fishing groups, the proposed limited harvest calls for a lottery to issue $300-per-week licenses that allow each recipient to catch and kill one Goliath, with proceeds funding research of the species.

But board members said that did not mean the regulation would ultimately be approved even over the next few years, saying the science may not support its quick adoption.

Truth is the above is major league BS of the worst kind. Years ago South Florida spearfishermen almost decimated the entire population of jewfish.

Instead of making it illegal to spear them in their infinite wisdom regulators just stopped it all together.They made jewfish a zero bag limit.

Things were OK for the first 8-10 years. Than we started to notice that most Gulf side wrecks,(GOM--Gulf of Mexico)where most jewfish live,were now loaded up with big goliaths that ate anything we hooked. From spawning snook that would have been released to juvenile grouper,juvenile crawfish to anything hooked by a fisherman.When the regs were asked how to solve the problem they said find another wreck to fish.Arrogant SOB's for sure.

Today things are much worse.

I chatted with a customer the other day a world class angler/captain who told me he witnessed a giant jewfish sucking up cobia of 30-50 lbs. like they were lollypops. We also note there is a rather big shortage of cobia over the past few years.

It just gets worse every year with a fish that has become an apex predator and is fearful of nothing.

On many wrecks they will sit under your boat and wait until you hook a good fish and than gobble them up.

Anyway the proposed regs which still allow the original cause of the disappearance of jewfish, spearfishing, are worthless and should not even be considered.

Cheney’s removal has worked to unite the party somewhat.
The 40 votes against for Chip Roy, were small numbers.
Trump still has massive influence since many people doubt the election was fair and Biden’s terrible 4 months. If the election were today, Republicans would gain in the House, unless it is rigged.

[rodguy911]

The vaccine curtails spread in general, from 8,000 new cases a day to 33:

So this is the vaccine doing all this not the warmer weather or people now taking off their masks and getting out and improving their immune systems so good to hear.....not to mention herd immunity which cant be too far behind.

[FreedBird]

Mommy and Daddy Cheney are coaching Liz.

[Radix]

Of course you are correct and I appreciate your comment.

The reality is that I am during recent times no longer expectant of having many more months. I am good now, but I have come to realize just how frail these bodies which carry us actually are. It is alright as I am unfearful of what lays ahead.

Whatever, I live in the Boston area and most of my neighbors are completely crazy. I do not care for this Asylum Mentality. I do my small part to sway others and I have had limited successes, but largely, I have been talking to my self for about 40 years already. It is not enjoyable.

[kabar]

You need ID to get vaccinated, don’t you? That’s not racist? It’s only racist for voting?

Excellent point. It needs to be repeated over and over.

[rodguy911]

I’m not a chemist or a doctor but from what I have read and the experts/doctors I have talked to there is no way in hell I would get shot up with that crap.

[bray]

As long as you are not doing it due to pressure from the Karens. I just don’t see the value in it considering what it potentially does to T cell and the immune system.

[FreedBird]

Cheney is obsessed with Trump. She is not obsessed with growing inflation, the border, unrest in the Middle East, and unfair elections. She is blinded by hatred.
