  • Dirty little secrets, dirty little lies

     Nope, this post isn’t about the press, it’s about the federal government. A FOIA request from The Intercept to the National Institutes of Health regarding the origins of the wuflu came back with 292 of 314 pages FULLY redacted.  As in just a date, page number and the NIAID logo were visible.  There’s about 1400… Continue reading

  • Finally someone in the court understands irreparable harm

     When someone is coerced into getting a vaxx against their personal beliefs, whatever they are, it causes irreparable harm.  They can’t reverse it, they can’t get it out of their bodies.  That and the fact that they are being forced to choose between their livelihood and their religious convictions. Several United Airlines employees had filed… Continue reading

  • More preemptive ass-covering

    The CDC has put out warnings about blood clots.  How anyone can get them, even completely healthy athletes.  Oddly enough, the CDC does not mention covid vaxxes as a vector for causing blood clots. As a followup, Pfizer put out their own warning.  It didn’t mention the vaxxes either. There are more and more studies… Continue reading

  • Lowering the bar preemptively

     The CDC is already covering their ass regarding forced masking of children in schools by lowering the bar on speech early development.  Now, instead of knowing at least 50 words at 24 months, they’ve changed it to 30 months.   The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, or ASHA, still says that speaking less than 50 words by the… Continue reading

  • When you lose the consent of the governed

     That’s what’s happening in Illinois right now.  JB Pritzker is hopefully figuring out that Executive Orders don’t mean diddly squat if people ignore them.   The Illinois Department of Health tried to renew a rule regarding school mask mandate but the Illinois Legislature gave a big ol’ ‘no’ to that.  Why?  Because the rule is unenforceable.… Continue reading

  • Lie back and think of Austria

     A woman in Vienna who successfully fought off a rapist (by utilizing the knife in her purse) has been charged with ‘bodily harm’ for defending herself. Because the man who attempted to rape her is a 24-year-old Syrian asylum seeker.  Which means he’s not been granted full asylum.  They also found him with some pot (not… Continue reading

  • Sorry folks-no free ice cream today

     Check the sidebar for the good stuff. Continue reading

  • I don't think this is a coincidence

    What’s one good way to make the positive covid test rate go down?  Send home tests to everyone who wants one.  I can’t think that anyone with a positive home test is going to report it to any governmental agency. While I’m not sure that’s the cause of the drop–I think that there are a… Continue reading

  • Some Valentine's day things that made me 'urp'

    I’m really not a fan of Valentine’s day.  I do appreciate a day dedicated to love and the sentiments of those who send greetings on that day, so I’m not a Karen about it and take the greetings in the spirit in which they are presented.   But it’s not a day I typically get into. … Continue reading

  • I'd say that's grounds for a mistrial or more

     The person presiding over Sarah Palin’s libel lawsuit against the NY Times has said he’s going to throw out the case regardless of the jury result. Of course it’s NY, he was appointed by Clinton, but seriously, this kind of activist needs to be removed from the bench.  That’s why we have juries–so one man… Continue reading
