A law requiring Seattle bicyclists to wear helmets had been in effect for nearly 30 years, but was revoked in the name of racial equity. The King County Board of Health voted to repeal the helmet mandate because of accusations that the law was disproportionately enforced against people of color and homeless people. In 1993, King County passed the law that requires all bicyclists to wear helmets. The law was expanded to explicitly include Seattle in 2003. The law was enacted to decrease the severity of bicycling incidents. However, the community began noticing data that suggests black and homeless bicyclists...

The man — a self-proclaimed “multi-millionaire” who uses the handle @realkingkhang — took to the app on Valentine’s Day to share a short video showering the waiter with the very generous gratuity. “I love doing this. Feels so good making someone’s day,” he wrote beneath the video, which was filmed in an Olive Garden eatery at an unknown location. The clip shows the the man telling the server to swipe on a payment screen until it reaches the maximum tip percentage. “Swipe as far as it goes. Boom — 200%!” he enthuses, leaving the elderly server stunned. SNIP However, a...

Most New Yorkers may consider them rats with fluffy tails, but, elsewhere, squirrel has become a chic new menu item. As part of a growing ethical dining trend, chefs have begun serving up dishes made with the North American gray squirrel, an invasive species. “My original starting point with gray squirrel was taste. But it’s also great for the environment,” renowned Scottish chef Paul Wedgwood told the Guardian of the inspiration for adding gray squirrel to the menu of his Edinburgh restaurant Royal Mile in 2008. “It’s mellow, nutty and a bit gamey. It’s just a really nice flavor, and...

When January and the rest of winter roll in, I automatically begin pondering wintertime squirrel hunting, which is a highly underutilized outdoor pastime. I thoroughly enjoy every opportunity to go squirrel hunting and have my favorite spots on both private and public land, not only in my home Thumb area, but elsewhere in the state, such as the oak-filled hardwoods on public land in the Baldwin area, one of my favorite locations for this pastime. A beauty about squirrel hunting is that you don’t have to travel far to find ample opportunities anywhere in our great state of Michigan. And...

The WEF’s digital identity scheme is laying the foundation for a global social credit system that will give them the power to control citizens and punish those they deem “untrustworthy.” In February 2022, Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum (WEF) released a new report, “Advancing Digital Agency: The Power of Data Intermediaries,” which lays out their plans for the creation of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, a fusion of the “physical, digital and biological world.” The unelected WEF globalists have capitalized on Covid and are using the “vaccine passports” to lay the foundation for widespread digital identity adoption. This is just one...

The helicopter crashed near West Balboa Boulevard and 18th Street, according to Newport Beach Police Department spokeswoman Heather Rangel. The Huntington Beach Police Department later confirmed that the helicopter was theirs. “We can confirm that our police helicopter, HB1, crash landed in the Newport Beach area. Rescue efforts are underway & more information will be released when available,”

There’s a mental disorder called “Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy” in which a caregiver, such as a parent, fakes illness in others so they can be treated even when they’re not sick. I’ve heard this term used to reference people like Anthony Fauci and Bill Gates, but on a national and global scale. They seem to want millions or even billions of people to turn to them for care for a disease they manufacture. But that’s not really a fair assessment. Fauci may be a narcissist and Gates may be a sociopath, but neither is in it just for the glory....

Real Time" host Bill Maher warned of the lasting impacts school mask mandates could have on children and argued that children need to be exposed to the world's germs. During Friday's installment of the show's "Overtime" segment, the panel discussed the recent recall of three progressive school board members who were ousted for prioritizing woke initiatives, like renaming schools named after former presidents, over the wellbeing of students. Maher asked former assistant San Francisco district attorney Brooke Jenkins, who is leading the recall effort against current DA Chesa Boudin, if it was time to stop masking children. "Having a 5-year-old...

Neil Oliver delivers his remarks this weekend against the background of oppressive government on display in Canada. The issues around the vaccines that Oliver notes are at the heart of what the Canadian truckers were protesting. Yet, those original grievances have been lost, intentionally lost and buried by the government of Justin Trudeau, because the Canadian government finds it less of a risk to trigger a national emergency act declaration than discuss the issues around forced vaccination. Think about that carefully. As common in his monologues, Oliver outlines the baseline issue, lost in the shadows of the national emergency declaration,...

As we told you earlier, Quintez Brown, the left-wing BLM activist arrested and charged with the attempted murder of Jewish Democratic mayoral candidate Craig Greenberg, is out on bail. Sometimes crime does pay. It pays your bail! In the two weeks before Quintez Brown the antisemitic radical terrorist, tried to murder a Jewish mayoral candidate, his social media has pictures accusing Jews of being plantation owners, accusing Jewish money of running politics, and trafficking Black Hebrew Israelite garbage. pic.twitter.com/aQu14LHbY6 — Rabbi S Litvin (@BluegrassRabbi) February 17, 2022 Apparently Quintez Brown has some very interesting friends in the folks behind the...

The legal requirement to self-isolate after catching Covid in England is expected to be dropped from next week - as part of a "living with Covid" plan. All remaining virus restrictions in the country are set to end in the coming days, Downing Street said. Currently, positive or symptomatic people must isolate for up to 10 days. Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the vaccine had changed the outlook, but Labour warned against "declaring victory before the war is over". Some scientists and charities helping vulnerable people have also expressed concern at plans to lift restrictions while Covid infections are widespread....

In what appear to be authentic screenshots of the RCMP Musical Ride team currently in Ottawa to assist in the crackdown on peaceful protesters in the capital city, members brag about using brutal force. Over the last 24 hours in Ottawa, police have deployed pepper spray and canisters on demonstrators, arrested dozens and trampled two people with horses.

MUNICH — To health leaders across the globe, reaching the World Health Organization’s goal of vaccinating 70 percent of the planet’s population by mid-2022 is crucial to stave off future Covid-19 surges. To Bill Gates, the target represents a top-down approach to fighting the coronavirus that overlooks the reality on the ground — a way of thinking he says must change before the next pandemic. “We’ll never get to 70 percent. Who is kidding who? We live in a world where you have countries that spend $12,000 per person per year on medicine and countries that spend $200 per person...

Creatures get trapped in amber all the time, but most prehistoric finds are insects. Amber is a great material for preserving arthropods because of their already tough shells that will hold on even if the insides disintegrate. But what about a lizard? Retinosaurus hkamentiensis is a new extinct species of lizard that was unexpectedly found trapped in Burmese amber. No one expected an entire reptile to be preserved so well, from its scaly skin down to its skeleton.

EVIL: CDC quietly lowers standards for speech in early development to avoid admitting DAMAGE lockdowns and masks have done to children Posted at 11:13 am on February 18, 2022 by Sam J. No words for just how evil the CDC has become … this is abhorrent. Instead of admitting locking children down and MASKING THEM has caused them very real damage, the CDC quietly tried to lower the standards for speech in early development. Tell us again how all of this hasn’t been political. Grrrrrr. CDC should be defunded and disbanded at this point. Crazy is not the word we...

Bubbles are sustained only by ever increasing amounts of Credit. The most pernicious Bubbles are those fueled by “money” – perceived safe and liquid Credit instruments. Bubbles are mechanisms of wealth redistribution and destruction. Structural impairment caused by Bubble excess escalates over the life of the boom. The pain and dislocation unleashed during the bust is proportional to the excesses of the preceding boom. Though we’re in uncharted waters when it comes to global Bubble Dynamics, I’ll suggest that geopolitical risks expand exponentially over time. My thesis holds that 2022 is a pivotal year for a historic multi-decade Bubble period....

“Today there are many serious problems in Africa. Christians are persecuted and murdered. The Russian Orthodox Church will deal with these issues, said Metropolitan Leonid of Klin, Head of the Patriarchal African Exarchate of the Russian Orthodox Church, while discussing the situation on Wednesday, February 16. He also pointed out that the condition of the church buildings in Africa — after one hundred years of the Alexandrian Patriarchate’s jurisdiction — is deplorable. Another problem is a lack of a comprehensive mission, and a lack of close attention for the needs of the Orthodox community, on the part of the Greek...
