Talk about the upper crust life, huh? Former President Barack Obama has his bougie birthday party over the weekend. There were tons of guests. It was a superspreader event if we’re going by the liberal media’s rules. COVID is back in the news, and the media is beyond aroused by it. They’re getting off on rising cases, deaths, and hospitalizations. They’re also using this as their PSA bullhorn to tell people to get vaccinated. Should we get the shot? Yes, I think they should. Should they be forced? No. There are a ton of people who don’t like vaccine mandates...

After more than six months of work combating the coronavirus, negotiating a bipartisan infrastructure bill and repairing the U.S. image abroad, President Joe Biden should be heading out on vacation and a traditional August break from Washington. But with legislative work on the infrastructure bill keeping the Senate in session for a second straight weekend, and likely through next week, Biden hasn’t gone far — just home to Wilmington, Delaware, as he has done often since taking office. “Every president is always working no matter where they are,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said, explaining that presidents can’t ever...

It’s just the flu, bro. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasite-stress_theory https://youtu.be/6DqJ1Wv6EtQ Jordan Peterson and Randy Thornhill discuss parasite-stress theory, Coronavirus, Spanish flu, Nazis, and virus response in general by conservatives and liberals. Essentially Thornhill contends that conservatives are hard-wired to want less immigration and more restrictions on people because they fear germs. Liberals want fewer rules and a free-flow of people because they are less scared of germs. After reading the previous two sentences you may very well be dismissive of what he is saying, but I think it can be rationalized by the fact that, due to our unique founding principles, American conservatives,...

Back in 1974, Republican leaders, particularly in the Senate, were worried that President Richard Nixon, post-Watergate, would sink their chances in the next election. Rather than circle the wagons around the embattled leader of their party, they circled the wagons around the Capitol, and it was only a matter of time before Nixon knew he had to go and hand the keys to the White House to Vice President Gerald Ford (who took over the previous October after Spiro Agnew resigned amid his own problems) or risk impeachment.

...From 80,000 feet, it could survey 100,000 square miles of Earth’s surface per hour. Piloting the Blackbird was an unforgiving endeavor, demanding total concentration. But pilots were giddy with their complex, adrenaline-fueled responsibilities. “At 85,000 feet and Mach 3, it was almost a religious experience,” said Air Force Colonel Jim Wadkins. “Nothing had prepared me to fly that fast… My God, even now, I get goose bumps remembering.” The ANS was the 1960’s version of GPS, but instead of using satellites to locate itself, the ANS used the stars. This is because before the invention of the modern satnav networks...

And it culminates with Labor Day, that last hurrah,” said Pam Shadel Fischer of the Governors Highway Safety Association.

Sunday, the judge said Florida failed to “provide a valid evidentiary, factual, or legal predicate” for banning requirements that passengers prove they’ve been vaccinated. Norwegian has shown that suspending the requirement will jeopardize public health, potentially causing “super-spreader” events wherever passengers disembark, she wrote. Florida separately sued the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention seeking to block federal cruise ship vaccination requirements. The CDC lost on appeal, but then made its guidelines non-binding, and all cruise lines operating in Florida have agreed to keep following the CDC’s instructions on a voluntary basis, the judge wrote.
