Protests In Ottawa And Elsewhere Late Information At The Bottom Of This Post... Welcome to Your Weekend. Your currently sober drunk host back with you. Three songs that impacted my life two sung by Tom T. Hall and Tom T. Hall wrote the third one that became a 1968 hit song sung by Jeannie C. Riley. (The Following May Be Distrubing) "The McMinn County School Board proved themselves to be a clot of juvenile morons They failed to comprehend that if you are going to teach about the Holocaust you cannot whitewash it or turn it into a Disney musical....

If the despicable tyrant Fidel Trudeau orders his government thugs to assault and abuse the rights of the protesters all Canadians should start a general strike and shut the entire country down. The fist order of business should be to call in sick for coup-flu and stop all shipping except for food, medicines, and enough fuel for emergency services. If Canadians back down we may be slaves until our grandchildren shoot their way out of communist tyranny.

Stacey Abrams, who has yet to concede the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial race, deleted a photograph that showed her sitting – unmasked – while surrounded by several dozen masked school children. The photograph was taken at Glennwood School in Atlanta and posted to the Democrat’s social media platforms on Friday. “Spending time with Glennwood’s amazing students, faculty and staff ranks as spectacular, delightful and outstanding,” the wanna-be romance novelist wrote on Twitter. Abrams was seated on the floor grinning ear to ear while masked children sat uncomfortably around her. Perhaps she was holding her breath? Yet another picture of an unmasked...

In the past year, the former Attorney General of former U.S. President Barack Obama, Eric Holder, has developed a gerrymandering strategy in which he aggressively gerrymanders state legislative districts and state congressional districts throughout the nation. The Wall Street Journal reported Holder’s success was a result of his “sue to blue” strategy after Obama was destroyed in the 2010 redistricting cycle. Under the National Democratic Redistricting Committee that Holder was responsible for creating, Holder was reportedly instrumental in reducing the aggressiveness of Republican legislatures by developing a plan under its auspices. According to reports, Holder has aggressively used the court...

Local elected officials in Ottawa are calling on the federal government and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to take their responsibilities, while the municipal police are completely overwhelmed by the headquarters of the capital. "We don't have the resources locally to control this thing," Councilwoman Diane Deans said on Saturday. Ms. Deans chairs the Ottawa Police Services Board, which met urgently on Saturday to question municipal police chief Peter Sloly and his team. He explained to the elected officials that he was powerless in the face of a "national insurrection" which exceeded his capacities. Against this backdrop, Councilwoman Carol-Ann Meehan...

Earlier in the week, I reported that there was a “growing chorus of politicians and health experts” in Canada calling for an end to COVID mandates, after the protests by the Freedom Convoy. While we’ve been focused a lot on the occupation in Ottawa, they also had a blockade going on at the border in Alberta as well as protests in other areas.The RCMP apparently thought they could tow the truckers away, by calling up the local tow truck operations. But they got rejected big time, with the tow truck organization telling them they supported the peaceful protest.Tow truck company...

If you were trying to design a magazine to tantalize, excite, and frustrate QAnon believers, you could hardly do better than a 1997 issue of George. Due to the peculiarities of history, the muscular free market, and the fact that we live in hell, copies of the issue—which is taglined “Survival Guide to the Future”—have recently sold for thousands of dollars on eBay. The magazine has become one of the minor holy objects passed around by the Q crowd as evidence of the truth of their addled quest. George enjoyed a short but infamous run, often inextricably tied with the...

As we previously wrote, the Freedom Convoy truckers in Canada had raised a tremendous amount of money for their support through GoFundMe. GoFundMe first paused the account to review it, then declared they weren’t going to give the truckers the money because “[w]e now have evidence from law enforcement that the previously peaceful demonstration has become an occupation with police reports of violence and unlawful activity.”GoFundMe says no further funds will be distributed directly to the organizers of the Freedom Convoy protests. The crowdfunding firm says: 'We now have evidence from law enforcement that the previously peaceful demonstration has become...

Last Friday, I woke up with my throat feeling scratchy. It has actually started the day before, but I figured I was just catching a cold. As the day progressed, aches began making their way throughout my joints and muscles. Later, I was coughing. Chills racked my body, and I needed to bundle up tight to avoid feeling like I was transforming into a jeffsicle. Finally, a deepening fatigue crept its way into my system, and my thoughts became clouded and murky.At that point, I decided to take a test. Like a woman wondering whether she is carrying a child,...

“My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger, Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth. Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend” (Proverbs 6:1-3 KJV).

SINGAPORE, Jan 28 — Covid-19 vaccination administered in April last year was not the direct cause of a woman's heart condition that led to her death earlier this month, the National University Heart Centre, Singapore (NUHCS) and the National Heart Centre Singapore (NHCS) said yesterday (January 27). Their joint statement on Facebook was in response to social media posts about the death of a female heart patient nine months after her second dose of the Covid-19 vaccine.

Transcript of Riccardo Bosi's warning ["No consent. No consent. No consent"]Q is the result of the sacrifices and commitment of countless patriots to win back our captured country from the Deep State and achieve the transformation President Trump promised in this campaign video. President Trump has said the awakening of the public is key to this transformation.Q describes this awakening as follows: "The Great Awakening ('Freedom of Thought’), was designed and created not only as a backchannel to the public (away from the longstanding 'mind’ control of the corrupt & heavily biased media) to endure future events through transparency and...

A 5-year-old boy who had been trapped 32 meters underground in a well in Morocco for four days was found dead on Saturday following a lengthy rescue attempt that had captivated the Arab world. In an official statement carried by state television, Morocco's King Mohamed VI offered his condolences to the parents of the boy, identified as Rayan, as the meticulous relief operation came to a heart-wrenching end. Relentless digging by bulldozers parallel to the well reached the full depth of 32 meters before rescuers embarked on a horizontal dig to reach the boy. In the last stretch, which took...

Our Readings for this Sunday combine two major themes: awe and apostolate. Both Isaiah and Peter are awed and ashamed to find themselves in the presence of God; but both are subsequently sent out (in Greek, apostello) on mission for the Almighty. We, too, feel our unworthiness and need of mercy in God’s presence, and also our responsibility to spread the Good News of mercy to all people. 1. Our First Reading is Isaiah 6:1-2a, 3-8: In the year King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a high and lofty throne, with the train of his garment filling...

"And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey; And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose. I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost." "Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand:...

In reviewing requests for religious exemptions from the military's COVID-19 vaccine mandate, the Air Force's Air Education and Training Command (AETC) is allegedly using a document that effectively denies all requests, in defiance of a legal standard affirmed in a recent federal court ruling. AETC is the approval authority for religious accommodation requests (RARs) for military members assigned to the 13 AETC Air Force installations. Under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993, as the AETC analysis document notes, "the government may not burden an individual's religion unless the requirement furthers a compelling government interest with the least restrictive means."...

A COUNSELOR ENDORSED THE BELIEF THAT THE CHILD 'COULD BE A BOY' After a 12-year-old girl attempted suicide on school property twice after months of secret meetings with a school counselor, her parents have filed a lawsuit. On Jan. 5, Wendel and Maria Perez received a call from Destiny Washington, who identified herself as a school counselor at Paterson Elementary School (PES) in Fleming Island, Florida, part of Clay County District Schools.

WASHINGTON — A man featured on the FBI's website — wanted for assaulting police at the Capitol during the Jan. 6 attack — died months ago. Now the bureau has to figure out what to do about those photos. In the year since the Jan. 6 investigation began, the FBI has posted images of more than 500 individuals on its U.S. Capitol Violence webpage. More than 350 of those included on the page still haven't been arrested, including dozens who have been successfully identified by online sleuths. The website typically labels those who have been locked up as arrested. But...
