On Twitter last night, Rebekah Jones confirmed ...That she was not, in fact, asked to delete COVID deaths in Florida.

In February, she reiterated that “(Florida’s deputy secretary of health, Dr. Shamarial Roberson) asked me to change numbers and delete records to present a rosier picture of Florida’s pandemic than reality.” In April, she repeated her claim...

The term ‘gaslighting’ has been making its rounds lately, and was one of the most searched relationship terms on Google in 2020. While it’s possible to gaslight in almost any situation, it’s most common in relationships. But what exactly is gaslighting? In short, it’s a form of emotional or psychological abuse where one party says and does things to manipulate their partner in order to gain power over them . As the word suggests, it’s akin to the situation where one pours gas over a fire so that it gets so out of control that you have no idea what’s...

So, after an episode of V-tach, I will be having a heart ablation to prevent *most* future episodes. Also, to cover the remaining potential of further episodes that could still occur, the doctor wants me to get an implanted defibrillator. All new stuff to me and I thought where better to hear about people's experiences with these things than here. Not looking for medical advice, unless you are a doctor. I have doctors for that. I am looking for advice based on your experiences. What do you wish you knew *before* having an ablation or defibrillator? Were you placed on...

A spike in assaults and harassment incidents in New York’s transit system is threatening its ability to restore ridership to prepandemic levels just as it needs to start replenishing its coffers. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which carried 5.5 million people on its subways every weekday before the COVID-19 outbreak, faces a harsh reality: Even with $14.5 billion of federal aid, it must plug an estimated $1.5 billion deficit as soon as 2024 if ridership fails to hit prepandemic levels. That scenario would bring back financial strains that could have dire consequences for the future of the nation’s largest transit system....

The Vatican’s announcement today that Pope Francis has changed his plans for the next Synod of Bishops and made it into a multiphase process over two years comes closer to fulfilling a “dream” of the late progressive Jesuit Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini.

The Biden administration is "making every state a border state -- every town a border town," Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) warned on Thursday night. She's one of three Republican lawmakers from Tennessee who is demanding answers on the stealthy movement of unaccompanied minors from the border to Tennessee and other states: Blackburn said Gov. Lee had declined a request from the Biden administration to accept some of the migrant children. "And this is a 10th Amendment violation, because they're doing it anyway. They're sending them into these communities with no one's knowledge. "So, if any of your viewers see this...

This was just announced– It appears the Maricopa County Attorney will weaponize her office and use it for a possible investigation of cyber forensics of America’s Audit cyber team.

Just less than a year before their bombshell departure from the royal family, and months into her pregnancy, Meghan Markle told Prince Harry that she wanted to commit suicide, but that she would not act on the urge because she did not want to hurt him. “The thing that stopped her from seeing it through was how unfair it would be on me after everything that had happened to my mum and to now be put in a position of losing another woman in my life, with a baby inside of her, our baby,” Harry recalled. “The scariest thing for...

The Austin Police Department announced internal moves Friday to shore up its patrol units amid an officer shortage due to retirements, resignations and the lack of new cadet classes.

An Aurora police officer, Daniel Bertelson, sent a department-wide email this month as he announced his retirement, offering some barbs and harsh assessments of the current climate for law enforcement. “I am leaving Colorado for palm trees and less communism,” wrote Bertelson, who spent 16 years with the Aurora Police Department. “Try to ignore the politicians and media,” he wrote to his colleagues. “They know nothing of this profession or honor; they’re self-serving con artists, well-dressed pimps and prostitutes at best.” The number of officers leaving APD has been increasing in recent years, jumping more than 60% from 2019 to...

This is a Tommy Bolin song. Tommy was an interesting character. Unfortunately, he died young after a gig in Florida with Jeff Beck. Atomic Bitchwax covered this song and now Count Vlad is covering it too. The video is a strange compilation of Chinese Hell Marches and cartoons. It's also an edgy, anti communist statement.

"Many people have asked about the beautiful Boeing 757 that became so iconic during the Trump rallies. It was effectively kept in storage in Upstate New York in that I was not allowed to use it during my presidency. It is now being fully restored and updated and will be put back into service sometime prior to the end of the year. It will soon be brought to a Louisiana service facility for the completion of work, inspection and updating of Rolls-Royce engines, and a brand new paint job. When completed, it will be better than ever, and again used...

I have been a Minnesota Twins fan for a long time and had season tickets for a number of years. But I am not going back to Target Field–one of America’s great stadiums–any time soon. This is what it looks like these days:Zooming in on the right field corner:I have no idea why baseball executives think it is appropriate to celebrate an armed robber, drug addict, petty criminal, arrest resister and sometime porn performer, or why they think this is what their fans want to see. But I have no intention of patronizing a business that does something this clueless.
