  • Let's guess. Child exploitation or not?

     Let me set a scenario for you: A thirteen year old child is online.  He or she is contacted by an older stranger (adult).  The child is asked to play a game and pretend that pizza toppings are code for sexual acts.  For example, cheese is kissing and olives are oral sex.  And the child… Continue reading

  • Here's some reactions from children about masks

     Kids in Nevada and in Israel when they are told they don’t have to wear masks anymore.   As a note, the video from Israel was June, 2021.  US children were masked for an extra eight months–Nevada just made the call a few days ago.   In some states, the (political) science hasn’t quite kicked in or… Continue reading

  • Another unintended consequence

     High school students in Washington State are refusing to wear masks.  They are being turned away from school for not complying.  And they are holding the line. They are joining students all over the country who are now saying ‘enough is enough’. But here’s the thing that the school administrators are not taking into account. … Continue reading

  • It's the only way to fly

     B over at Middle of the Right posted about part of our trip last weekend (and no, if it can be avoided, never stopping in outer BFE Kentucky again for fuel).  I noticed on our taxi out to leave for KY Airport 2, the only tracks on that taxiway belonged to a guy and a… Continue reading

  • Respect mah authoritah

     A judge in downstate Illinois has put a stop on mask mandates in schools.  There’s some question as to the scope–if it’s only for the plaintiffs, or if it’s for the entire state.  I saw something last night where the Chicago Public Schools are still mandating because of the collective bargaining agreement with the teacher’s… Continue reading

  • And the next global health issue is…..

     ….  Waste caused by the wuflu panic.  Billions of masks that have a degrading half life worse than any plastic bottle.  Medical waste from used swabs, testing kits, PPEs, discarded vaxx vials and syringes.  Bio-hazardous waste (that should include masks). Yeah, no one saw that coming over a year ago. Don’t know if the WHO figured… Continue reading

  • Pantyhose or maxi-pads? Which is stupider?

     Someone did a study to try to figure out how to make masks cling tighter to a face and eliminate gaps.   Their answer–pantyhose. Since these kinds of studies are incredibly myopic, I doubt they used an air tester to see if by making masks cling tighter to a person’s face, plus adding a layer, plus… Continue reading

  • Begging for fairness

     The U Penn women’s swim team has sent a letter to U Penn and the Ivy League asking that they not take legal action over the revised criteria for a man wanting to swim as a woman (the last part is my take, not theirs). It is a terrible injustice that they have been bullied… Continue reading

  • If they are really serious about public health…

     Novavax has put in for FDA emergency use authorization of its covid shot.   It’s old school  : a ‘protein based’ vaccine that introduces a person’s immune system to inactive virus cells – similar to the flu shot and many other common vaccines – in order to mount a response.” Their studies were done before the… Continue reading

  • 2-2-2022-The Perfect Date for Groundhog's Day

     Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, meaning 6 more weeks of winter.  Crap. Continue reading
