Shuggie’s Trash Pie & Natural Wine — the ambitious, new pizzeria that plans to make its pies with food waste — is now opening in the Mission District. Originally set to open in North Beach this spring, the restaurant will now open in the Mission District sometime this fall, a spokesperson for the restaurant told The Chronicle. The North Beach location fell through unexpectedly, the spokesperson said, but declined to provide details. Shuggie’s will now take over from margarita destination Velvet Cantina, which permanently closed due to the coronavirus pandemic last summer. It’s bigger than the original planned location, and...

The US government's war on political dissent has been covered extensively by mainstream media in regards to policy, but few tell the stories of those personally impacted by the Department of Justice's blatant disregard for basic civil liberties and due process. In one stark and ongoing example, a decorated Navy veteran who comes from a family that has served their country in World War II and Vietnam has had life was turned upside down for engaging in lawful political activism. It all begin in March 2020, when anarchists doxed Joseph Berger of Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania in response to his participation...

Four Maui dogs have been learning to sniff out virus in sweatFour Maui-based canines are wrapping up a study that is training dogs to detect COVID-19 in a person’s sweat. Makawao-based Assistance Dogs of Hawaii and The Queen’s Medical Center on Oahu partnered together late last year on the study, which has been using sweat samples from people to teach the dogs to hone in on the scent of the virus, which has infected and killed millions worldwide. Next month the two organizations will be submitting their research for publication in a peer-reviewed journal, said Maureen Maurer, Assistance Dogs of...

The prospects for a Republican victory in 2022 aren’t looking too shabby. Indeed, the GOP has a considerable chance of retaking both chambers of Congress in the midterm elections if it plays its cards right.Sure, a GOP triumph is far from guaranteed. The Democrats still have political weapons to wield against the right, and they have been using these cudgels as well as they can manage.The Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol building will continue to dog the Republican Party for as long as the Democrats can focus the nation’s attention on the incident. So far, the Democrats and...

'Even as of now, the US government has not launched and broad and serious investigation into where the coronavirus came from' Actually, it looks like this virus did come from a lab in China. Nearly a year and a half into the pandemic, that’s the new consensus in the American media. Boy, these things change fast. There are holdouts of course. Just today, over at the Washington Post, a China shill called Michael Gerson wrote a hilariously overwrought column entitled: "The right is dwelling on slanderous myths about the origins of COVID-19." The radical right! Slanderous myths! Russian QAnon sleeper...

For the past several months we have warned about the pernicious effects soaring prices are having on both corporations ("Buckle Up! Inflation Is Here!") and consumers (""This Is Not Transitory": Hyperinflation Fears Are Soaring Across America"), prompting even otherwise boring sellside research to get (hyper) exciting, with Bank of America predicting that "Transitory Hyperinflation Lies Ahead."But none of this has spooked the Fed into conceding - or believing - that inflation is anything more than transitory. And maybe just this once, the Fed has a point because all else equal, by which we mean lack of rising wages, the best...

Powell really saw into the future didn't he? And can you imagine a modern interviewer being as respectful as Dick Cavett is here?

So, do understand that I AM CANADIAN who has a great respect for the American way of life of paying one's own way, with minimal cost upon other people. I was thinking about how to apply that principle to healthcare, that might quell some of the more centrist or slight-right leaning liberals enough that are destructors cannot get enough support to destroy America. So, my healthcare plan involves three points. 1. You pay for your maintenance care. Whatever that involves that involves daily health maintenance and minor health crisis. 2. You start a health-savings account that you pay over the...

Matter and antimatter are always created (or destroyed) in equal amounts. But there appears to be a dearth of antimatter in the universe. What happened to it?

Back in December, Canadian actress Ellen Page announced she was transgender, identifies as a male, and wanted to be called “Elliot Page” henceforth. The media fell all over themselves to celebrate her “coming out” as a transgender, after having previously come out as a lesbian, and before coming out as a talented actress. Her IMDB and Wikipedia pages were quickly updated to reflect this new identity she had chosen for herself. It felt like a nightmare right out of Orwell’s 1984, with Page’s female status being thrown down the memory hole, as if we are supposed to forget her extensive...

A Michigan restaurant owner who was jailed and fined for violating COVID-19 restrictions said Tuesday that Gov. Gretchen Whitmer should face similar consequences for disobeying her own health department’s guidance too. “I feel like all of us should be on the same page. If I have to face penalties which I went through … I think she should face the same penalties,” Marlena Pavlos-Hackney, who owns Marlena’s Bistro and Pizzeria, said on Fox News. “We the people, we [are] all equal. It does not matter [that] because you’re the governor, we need to forgive you.” The restaurateur spent four nights...

Fears Traditional Latin Mass will be suppressed renewed in wake of Pope’s alleged comments to Italian bishopsThe unsigned article in 'Messa in Latina' (MIL or messainlatina.il) alleges that the pontiff told the Italian Bishops at the opening of their General Assembly yesterday that he had finished the third draft of a document that will restrict the use of the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite, also called the Traditional Latin Mass or Tridentine Mass.ROME, Italy, May 25, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — A website dedicated to promoting the Traditional Latin Mass has warned that “multiple sources” within the Conference of Italian Bishops...

A blind man who received a gene for a light-sensing algal protein can now see and touch objects with the help of special goggles, researchers report today. His vision gains are modest—he cannot see colors or discern faces or letters. But if the treatment helps other study participants, it may offer advantages over other vision technologies for severely blind people. And for neuroscientists, the result is a milestone: the first published report of using a relatively new technology called optogenetics to treat a disease in people. “It’s not the kind of vision people dream of, but it’s a big step,”...

Today marks 14 and a half months since the institution of the infamous “Flatten the Curve,” AKA The Deep State’s Plot to Drive Us Crazy, Make Us Stupid, and Take Over the World (in order to make the world safe for China and/or the Deep State and/or New World Order crew to take it over). You may be wondering why I have decided to continue this series after Impimp retired his Flubros series about two weeks ago. I will be glad to explain. 1. Impimp retired his thread the other week right after several states announced they were loosening up...

The pact that would float hundreds of turbines off the coast of Morro Bay and Humboldt Bay was touted as a breakthrough to eventually power 1.6 million homes and help the state and federal government reach ambitious climate change goals through clean energy production. The plan includes floating 380 windmills across a nearly 400-square-mile (1,035-square-kilometer) area that is 20 miles (32 kilometers) northwest of Morro Bay. The California wind farms would produce a combined 4.6 gigawatts, with the Morro Bay operation providing two-thirds of that output. Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, said he included $20 million in his revised budget...

“Murkowski tells me she’s going to support the bipartisan January 6 commission bill,” a Huffington Post reporter tweeted. Sens. Mitt Romney (R-UT) and Bill Cassidy (R-LA) are two other Republicans who have indicated sympathy for creating a commission to distract from the failed polices of the Biden administration. Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) has suggested she opposes the commission in its current form and is demanding changes. It is worth noting Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) is a “no” vote on the commission. He was one of the Senators who voted to convict former President Trump during his impeachment trial. Moderate Sen....

It’s a pitiful thing to see a strong man cry. It’s a sickening thing to see a man body-slam himself, then twist his own arm behind his back and make himself tap out. Wrestler turned actor John Cena may look like the Rock, but when it comes to China he’s Pee-Wee Herman. Doing an interview for his upcoming film “F9” in Taiwan, he referred to that free and thriving democratic island, which has had a separate government since 1949, as a “country” instead of as a province of China. When this led to an “outcry,” meaning it displeased the Communist...

Interesting video exposing what freemasonry really is. If you think freemasonry is just an innocent secret society....

The US Army fired its atomic cannon for the first and last time 68 years ago. The cannon, initially named "Able Annie," was later renamed "Atomic Annie." During the May 25, 1953 test, the cannon fired a nuclear shell that unleashed a 15-kiloton blast. The US Army successfully test-fired an atomic cannon exactly 68 years ago Tuesday. It was the first and only time the US military ever fired a nuclear weapon from a conventional cannon, according to the Army.

Michelle Fleming Morris and Valerie Lindsey chose to stand in the street in front of oncoming traffic. It’s their own fault they got hit by a car.By Daniel Alman (aka Dan from Squirrel Hill)May 25, 2021This new video is from Elizabeth City, North Carolina. It shows some idiots standing in the street in front of oncoming traffic. A car comes by and stops. Then the car starts going – very, very slowly.
