Governments around the world have recommended or mandated various behaviors to slow the spread of COVID-19. These include staying at home, wearing face masks and practicing social distancing.

Yet individuals continue to flout these recommendations and ignore explicit rules about wearing face masks. In the U.S., U.K. and Australia, crowds have gathered closely together to protest against lockdowns.

All this poses the question: Why are people not following the rules that protect not only their own health but the health of their community and nation? And how can policymakers and public health officials design better messages to encourage uptake

Love how he brings Bernie! into the discussion. He’s much more moral than everyone else because he “strives for systematic change.” Well Bernie! hasn’t been very effective in over 40 yrs in Congress, but bless his heart, he’s still trying…as long as that hefty salary keeps coming in. 🤣

Apparently they cheated the process to get the same hanging judge. They must have cheated to get a hanging jury as well. The truth will come out eventually but not before the election.

Toronto Metropolitan University is the new name of Ryerson Polytechnic. Ryerson was deemed problematic since he was some guy from the 19th century so the wokists have had the name expunged. La Trobe University on the other hand is in Australia so only one is based in Canada. The other is on the other side of the world. Still crap but this crap is spread out a bit.

doubt if one in a hundred know or care about the following!

30 March 2022: Politico: Federal campaign watchdog fines DNC, Clinton campaign over dossier spending disclosure
The conciliation agreements found “probable cause to believe” that both the campaign and national party “misreport[ed] the purpose of certain disbursements.”
By ZACH MONTELLARO; Josh Gerstein contributed to this report.
The Federal Election Commission has agreed to a fine of over $100,000 against the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign over an investigation into alleged misreporting of spending related to the now-infamous Steele dossier...

The DNC will pay $105,000 and the Clinton campaign $8,000...

Daniel Wessel, a DNC spokesperson, said in a statement that “we settled aging and silly complaints from the 2016 election about ‘purpose descriptions’ in our FEC report,” while a spokesperson for Clinton’s office did not respond to a request for comment...

The civil penalty appears to relate to highly technical rules about how campaign spending through an intermediary should be reported, and not to delve into issues around the legality (or veracity) of the dossier. In a letter addressing one of the complaints, the commission said it dismissed allegations against Marc Elias — who was then an attorney at Perkins Coie and is now the namesake of his own firm — and the law firm itself, Fusion GPS and Christopher Steele himself, and other allegations against the DNC over impermissible contributions from foreign nationals...
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this article misstated lawyer Graham Wilson’s law firm. The former Perkins Coie attorney now works for Elias Law Group.

24 May: JustTheNews: While Trump faces felony charges, NY-based Clinton campaign only faced fines for its records issue
Selective Prosecution? Following the 2016 election, the FEC determined the Clinton campaign incorrectly recorded opposition research as legal expenses, but was only hit with an administrative fine
By Steven Richards
The payments in question were sent to powerhouse law firm Perkins Coie to pay for the opposition research that ultimately produced the discredited Steele Dossier which sparked the Russian collusion investigation into Donald Trump and his 2016 campaign. Instead of classifying them as for opposition research, the Clinton campaign labeled the expenses “legal services” and “legal and compliance consulting.”

Records from OpenCorporates and the New York Department of State show the Clinton campaign—called HFACC, Inc. or Hillary for America—was registered in 2015 in the state of New York and operates out of an office in the Financial District, which is in Alvin Bragg’s district, theoretically making the campaign subject to the same state laws as Donald Trump...

Trump is our last bulwark before a communist takeover. There is no moral confusion.

In fact, 56 percent of Republicans say Trump’s sexual misconduct should not disqualify him from running for president.

The blatant hypocrisy of democrats who take the moral high ground and support Joe the Pedo and Bill Clinton the Rapist.

In the words of someone, “tool off hosers”

“falsifying business records” as though this payment was of any significance that how it was recorded on the ledger was actually important or of any real consequence. “Truth decoupling” is what got us here.

A criminal indictment and then conviction on 34 counts based on how a payment was entered on a ledger 8 years ago. Ridiculous beyond description - and it takes a “moral decoupling” to recognize that reality according to this author?

The decoupling is much worse.
It’s now a complete lack of trust in the US legal system especially in leftist jurisdictions. That includes all federal courts and leftist state courts.
The presumption of contempt is all that these corrupt legal entities deserve.
