It’s just the flu, bro. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/even-after-being-fully-vaccinated-many-still-wrestle-fear-catching-n1265086 Many people still gripped with fear of being near other people even after vaccination. - https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/us-coronavirus-some-parts-of-the-us-are-more-vulnerable-to-another-hit-by-coronavirus-heres-why/ar-BB1g1qPW Above is a random stupid article about Coronavirus. Some key phrases to know from the article so that you don’t have to read it are “tipping point” and “unsettling gaps” and “some officials worry”.

It never ceases to amaze me how the very mention of the word “climate” causes people to lose all touch with their rational faculties. And of course I’m not talking here just about the ordinary man on the street, but also, indeed especially, about our elected leaders and government functionaries. The latest example is President Biden’s pledge, issued at his “World Climate Summit” on April 22, to reduce U.S. greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 50 - 52% from the levels of 2005, and to do so by 2030. In my last post a couple of days ago, I remarked that...

It’s not an exaggeration to say that if America remains on her current trajectory, she will be unrecognizable in another generation. Lady Liberty will be replaced by a snarling leftist with a blue crew-cut. We’ve arrived at a tipping point where the foundational beliefs that made our way of life possible are under relentless siege by a radical, Marxist ideology that holds our values, traditions and culture in utter contempt. Today, the institutions of family, church, education, free enterprise, and self-government are mere remnants of their former glory. The Left’s long march through our institutions is nearing its dystopian destination,...

The $2 trillion infrastructure plan may be the mother of all spending bills. And without changes, the major winner is set to be China. China has huge market shares of the raw materials we will need to repair and rebuild our crumbling infrastructure, from bridges to pipes. China had a 51 percent share of the global steel market in 2018. The US, Canada, and Mexico combined only produced 6 percent. China also controls more than half of the global cement market. As things stand, much of the $2 trillion in U.S. taxpayer dollars will wind up lining the pockets of...

Some of our best paid CEOs are failing miserably to remember what a business is for. Maybe we should call it "the pause that doesn't refresh" anymore. At least, a lot of people are saying that as they overlook Coke for something else. This is the latest from the long list of companies who listen to "the wokes" in H.R. rather than the customers who keep them in business. Check this out: Mere weeks after going public with stern words about the new election law in Georgia, Coca-Cola has become far more muted in its corporate bellowing. Now, we know...

It still ranks as one of the most dramatic moments in the history of the Oscars. But only now, nearly half a century later, has the Native American actress at the heart of it revealed the devastating aftermath. Sacheen Littlefeather says she was 'blacklisted' by Hollywood and abandoned by Marlon Brando after rejecting the Best Actor award on his behalf in 1973 – a political stunt that was beamed across the world. Littlefeather had been chosen by Brando to walk on stage and decline the Oscar he had been awarded in 1973 for his performance in The Godfather. It was...

What will Biden do if the PRC does indeed invade Taiwan? Considering the administration's wide-ranging financial ties with China -- as well as possible blackmail evidence pertaining to Hunter Biden's alleged interest in young Chinese girls -- not much. With the domestic madness currently dominating the United States, many Americans are unaware of international issues that could potentially inflict even further damage to this once-great Republic. A major point of concern is Taiwan, and whether the People's Republic of China (PRC) is getting ready to invade. The island's strategic location is very important to the United States for both military...

Today we discuss a first-century Jewish rabbi who saved the apostles from death sentences because they were attracting growing numbers of Jewish followers. Raise your hand if you have ever heard the name, Gamaliel. I see very few, so let’s learn how the Lord used this rabbi at two critical times in early church history. The dramatic verses we study are from Acts 5:12-42 and condensed below. Teaching in the name of Jesus, His apostles “performed many signs and wonders among the people.” Subsequently, “more men and women believed in the Lord and were added to their number.” Peter especially...

Sen Ted Cruz slammed Harris visiting the Granite State. “GPS got confused….” the Texas Republican Tweeted. “Montreal is going to invade,” Cruz added in a separate tweet. State Republicans tweeted. “Welcome to the #WrongBorder......you traveled over 2,300 miles away from El Paso; our country would be better served with an official visit to our southern border, not a Democrat campaign trip.” Neither Harris nor Biden — who appointed her point person in dealing with the growing crisis — have scheduled a trip to the border. Harris has not held a news conference to address questions about her new role. The...

... Beginning last May, Minneapolis was the scene of riots in protest of George Floyd’s death, riots that destroyed 100 buildings and caused hundreds of millions of dollars in damage from fires and looting. By June of that year the area riots were the cause of two deaths and over $500 million in damage. The corporate media and (I’m sorry to say, universities and schools as well) harped on the death as yet more evidence of some nonsense called “systemic racism,” suggesting that the death was deliberate. In fact, none of the three charges against Chauvin indicated that he intentionally...

As a rule, people who fight public disclosure tend to have something to hide. Democrats revealed how deeply they fear the discovery of ballot fraud in Arizona when they fought tooth and nail to prevent the audit now underway at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix. Monica Showalter explained how hard they fought – and lost – thanks to a judge with guts that demanded a million-dollar bond from them to cover costs they might impose through their efforts to delay the count. Yesterday saw the auditors at work, livestreamed from 9 different camera angles. One of the tests they...

Image from indystar.com video, cropped, scaled, arrows and lettering added by Dean Weingarten One of the tactics used by the far left to disrupt the lives of private citizens and to show their power, is to block roadways, streets, and public right of ways. Blocking public right of ways has been a minor crime. Most states have statutes that require vehicles to give way to pedestrians.The far-left found this weakness in the system, which allowed them to disrupt and endanger tens of thousands of other people without serious penalty for themselves.Once vehicles were stopped, the drivers and passengers would be...

South Korean President Moon Jae-in criticized former President Trump's attempts to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula, telling the New York Times he "beat around the bush" with North Korea and "failed to pull it through." Why it matters: Moon, now in his final year in office, called denuclearization a "matter of survival" for South Korea and urged President Biden to resume negotiations with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un after a standstill of nearly two years. What they're saying: “I hope that Biden will go down as a historic president that has achieved substantive and irreversible progress for the complete denuclearization and...

Autry Hogan saved his allowance to buy a new fishing rod and last Saturday the 7-year-old Tennessean broke in his new equipment by landing an 83-pound flathead catfish. According to Clarksville Now, Autry was fishing on the Cumberland River with his father, grandfather, and younger brother, when he hooked a catfish that was about as long (47 inches) as he is tall The fish was released but based on a photo supplied by the family, the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency confirmed the species as a flathead catfish.

Stop lying. Stop insulting our intelligence. I may have been born yesterday, but I wasn't born in the past 15 minutes. I'm an adult. I know when I'm being conned. Here's what really happened at the Derek Chauvin trial: A guilty man was railroaded. I'm no fan of that former police officer. He's clearly a bad guy, a bully. When he had his knee on George Floyd's neck, he passed the line no cop should ever pass. On the other hand, George Floyd was no hero. He was a lifelong criminal. When he died, he had just committed a crime...

The duo were invited to the White House, after Epstein reportedly donated to the Oval Office refurbishing. They toured the East Room and the presidential residence during a reception. The pictures expand the timeline of Clinton’s involvement with Epstein and Maxwell. Prior to their surfacing, some of the oldest photos linking the trio were from 2002, Clinton was photographed aboard Epstein’s private jet along with Maxwell and one of the late billionaires’ rape accusers. Ghislaine Maxwell is currently facing trial, while convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein took his own life in jail in 2019. The former president also reportedly had a...

A Queens mom charged with murdering her six-week-old twins had initially tried to kill them by feeding the infants poisoned milk and may have spent up to four days with their corpses, according to prosecutors. Danezja Kilpatrick, 23, was arraigned on Saturday morning, two days after she was arrested for allegedly murdering baby son Dakota and daughter Dallas. Police first found the infant boy inside a bedroom crib at Kilpatrick's Woodside apartment with a blade still inside his skull.

To produce some viruses for study, in the hope of eradicating them, scientists use monkey kidney cells. It’s the perfect environment for them to replicate; to grow. For the virus that is progressivism, the media is the monkey kidneys, and to eliminate the threat that this left-wing sibling of communism, socialism, and fascism poses to the world, that delivery device needs to be destroyed. The profession, or at least what it used to be and is supposed to be, is important to the country. People need to know what is happening in their world. But what we have now is...

No one in India is safe. This infection has seeped so deeply into the community that it is impossible to avoid the virus with its new, seemingly more infectious mutations, spreading through entire families like wildfire. Yesterday, India recorded a record coronavirus death toll for the third day running. Since Wednesday, there have been more than one million infections in what has now been described as the most deadly outbreak in the world. The worst affected areas, including New Delhi, Mumbai and the state of Maharashtra, have run out of hospital beds and oxygen, the lifesaver that Covid sufferers most...
