Bits & Bytes

COVID-19: Autopsies of two teenage boys who died shortly after getting Pfizer’s COVID-19 jab indicate heart inflammation was the primary cause of death. Both boys were found dead in their beds, one three days after receiving the second dose and the other four days after the second dose.

In Virginia, Gov. Youngkin signed into law a bill guaranteeing that parents get to decide if they want their children masked at school and guarantees in-person instruction five days a week for Virginia students. Hours later, the intransigent Loudoun County finally backed down and canceled its mandate.

In California, the jackboot Dems who run what is essentially a one-party government are considering a law that would require all workers, public and private, subject themselves to the ‘rona vaxxx and however many boosters the FDA decides Pfizer’s bottom line desires. In addition, the law would require citizens who refuse the vaxxx be confined to their homes at all times, except for emergencies.

In Boston, a judge issued an injunction prohibiting the city from enforcing its vaccine mandate policy for Boston union police and firefighters.

In NYC, the Department of Education (DOE) terminated between 900 and 1,430 teachers who refused to get the vaxxx.

In El Dorado, California, hundreds of high school students at Oak Ridge High School staged a walkout on Tuesday over the school’s mask mandate. That afternoon, the school board decided that, although the mask mandate was still in effect, bare-faced students would no longer be punished … which kinda makes no sense.

On Tuesday, a federal court entered a preliminary injunction prohibiting the Department of Defense and Air Force from enforcing the vaccine mandate against an officer who has religious objections to the vaccine and also from forcing her to retire. Thomas More Society represented the 25-year veteran in her suit against the Air Force which has denied more than 99 percent of all such requests.

FAUXTUS: Showalter notes that, at the time then-Councilman Joe Biden was exacting revenge on a pesky Republican constituent, The Godfather was playing in theaters. “The hugely popular film was known for its frightening mob imagery of a decapitated horse head in a bed. That was a symbol of intimidation and terror for those who don’t play ball.”

HACK & DOX: Brian bragged on Twitter about what he was doing, noting that some of the replies he’d gotten had been “aggressive to put it mildly.” He got so much push back that he deleted his Twitter account! Among the push backs Twitchy recorded were:

It wasn’t ‘leaked’, it was hacked and you’re doxxing these people….great job.”

In other words, you’re harassing people and they aren’t taking it very well.”

“So weird that people would be hostile to someone who harasses them for their charitable giving to a peaceful protest.”
I’m guessing Bryan hasn’t called any of the donors to BLM whose funds were used to post bail for a socialist that tried to kill a candidate for mayor in our city.

So we have the names of the people who donated to the Trucker’s Convoy, but not the names of Ghislaine Maxwell’s customers?

KINDNESS: I saw this on Facebook – “I once got punished at school for sharing my lunch with a classmate. When I got home, I decided not to tell my mother. The next morning when I opened the icebox there were 2 brown bags. One had my name on it and the other had my friends’ name on it.

I was overjoyed. My Mom understood why I was so hungry when I came home.

My friends’ mom was sick and I had been feeding her for about 2 weeks. The teacher had told me not to share my lunch but I could not eat my lunch when my friend didn’t have any lunch to eat.

She had told me not to share twice. The third time she sent me to the principal’s office. I had to sit there and not go to recess. I guess she called my Mom. My Mom made two lunches everyday until my friend’s Mom got well.

MARK ELIAS: Daily Signal’s Fred Lucas calls the Dems’ dirty tricks lawyer, Marc Elias, “the Democrats’ Forrest Gump of election controversies” because he has shown up in “the most high profile election cases of the past two decades.” And in many of them, there were allegations of dirty tricks. Click to read about his sketchy ethical history and the increasing likelihood that the piper of justice wants to be paid.

OKLAHOMA: Some states are punishing doctors who help ‘rona patients get hold of ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine. Oklahoma’s Attorney General said his “office finds no legal basis for a state medical licensure board to discipline a licensed physician for exercising sound judgment and safely prescribing an FDA-approved drug – like ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine – for the off-label purpose of treating a patient with COVID-19. Healthcare professionals should have every tool available to combat COVID-19.”

PENCE: Emerald Robinson writes about the long history of Mike Pence’s treachery within the Trump White House.

RACISM: The Washington Post got caught saying Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is “the Black justice whose rulings often resemble the thinking of White conservatives.” IOW, they think Thomas is an “Uncle Tom.” After they got reamed out for it, they changed it … but the sense of the resulting statement was nonsensical. Clearly, the original intent was to tar Thomas as a GOP Stepin Fetchit.

TISSUE ALERT: Please click and read about all that God has done for Baby Marshall and his adoptive family!

TRUMP WAS RIGHT: CLICK https://hannity.com/media-room/watch-new-trump-ad-justice-is-coming-for-hillary/ [:56] to see Trump’s new ad.

UKRAINE: With fears brewing over a potential Russian invasion of Ukraine, FAUXTUS’ State Department advised Americans in Ukraine to take refuge in neighboring Poland whose government has said U.S. citizens may enter from Ukraine without prior approval. The State Department notice said “U.S. citizens must present a valid U.S. passport and proof of COVID-19 vaccination. Travelers are also encouraged to present a negative test result from a PCR or antigen COVID-19 test, which will facilitate entry into Poland.” BUT Poland’s own rules state only that vaccination is required to avoid a potential quarantine upon entry, not that Americans will be turned away if they are unvaccinated. IOW, more lying to scare people into accepting the vaxxx.

Oh, Canada

BREAKING UPDATE 2:

BREAKING UPDATE 1:

Trudeau’s threats have included confiscating protesters’ kids, trucks, and bank accounts. Now he’s going after their pets.

Earlier today, three Canadians – two former police officers and one veteran – held a live press conference to address Trudeau’s invoking of the Emergencies Act for the first time in Canadian history. They called on Canadians to join the Freedom Convoy’s movement and condemned the mainstream media for spreading falsehoods about the protesters, making them seem violent and dangerous to the uninformed public. Click to hear the embedded video.

Five of Canada’s twelve provinces have ended their mandates, but Adolf Jr just keeps on being a schmuck. CLICK https://www.facebook.com/watch?v=610259653614530 [5:35] to hear Fox & Friends report.

International journalists, authors, politicians, broadcasters and celebrities have savaged Trudeau over his attempt to jackboot protesters into submission. Protesters with American and Canadian flags are even gathered outside the Canadian embassy in New York City.

The Canadian Constitution Foundation (CCF) is launching a legal challenge to the federal government’s invocation of the Emergencies Act, saying, “The high threshold for declaring a public order emergency in the Emergencies Act has not been met. … The federal government has invoked the Emergencies Act as a matter of political convenience. This is illegal.

In Alberta, the court threw out a lawsuit filed by far-left affiliated Alberta Federation of Labour (AFL) aimed at keeping masks mandatory in the province’s schools.

Read (or listen to the podcast of) an on-the-ground report about what it’s like at Trucker Central. Excerpts (there’s a lot more at the link!):

It’s a very Christian movement. There’s a lot of prayer, spontaneous prayers. They say the Lord’s Prayer in French and English every night at 7 p.m. And it is this sort of intentional community that has come together without really being organized in a hierarchical structure.

It’s all spontaneous, but it’s remarkably clean. They’re cleaning up after themselves. You have truckers out there shoveling the streets to keep the snow off of it. You’ve got designated trash cans all around.

This is pretty much the polar opposite of what we’re used to seeing from watching left-wing protests the last couple years where people are burning buildings down. These people are actually trying to build something up, which is one of the reasons I think they’re so successful. …

I was talking to one of the truckers the other day and he was pointing out that to actually get a bunch of 18-wheelers out of these relatively narrow streets by Parliament Hill, they would need heavy-duty military equipment that, first of all, local law enforcement doesn’t have, but also the Canadian military probably doesn’t have. It’s the kind of equipment that the U.S. military has. So they’d have to call in U.S. military to get these guys out. And you can imagine what that would look like as far as a public relations special? …

One of the reasons that you have seen the cops be really reluctant to enforce a lot of the orders they’re getting about confiscating fuel and not letting fuel through is because they’re quietly on—I don’t want to get the truckers in trouble by saying this, but something that is very clear if you spend time here is they’re quietly on the trucker side because they’re working-class blue-collar guys, too. …

If you read any of the media coverage, you’d think that this was a hotbed of frothing at the mouth, right-wing extremism with a bunch of violent radicals at the helm, which could not be further from the truth. I think it’s not hyperbolic to just call that lying because it’s just not what’s happening here. …

It’s all just nonsense and the truckers are actually taking it in stride. I find that I’m more upset about it than they are. The atmosphere here is so positive that they sort of just brush it off. They just smile and sort of take it in stride. I’m in my hotel room reading media coverage and my blood’s boiling and I’m getting really frustrated about it. But the guys out here, one of their great strengths is the positivity and being able to brush off all the threats and the saber rattling and the dishonest coverage.”

Breathing God’s Name

From Facebook (no author listed) –

There was a moment when Moses had the nerve to ask God what His name is. God was gracious enough to answer, and the name He gave is recorded in the original Hebrew as YHWH.

Over time we’ve arbitrarily added an “a” and an “e” in there to get YaHWeH, presumably because we have a preference for vowels. But scholars and Rabbis have noted that the letters YHWH represent breathing sounds, or aspirated consonants. When pronounced without intervening vowels, it actually sounds like breathing. YH (inhale): WH (exhale).

So a baby’s first cry, his first breath, speaks the name of God. A deep sigh calls His name – or a groan or gasp that is too heavy for mere words. Even an atheist would speak His name unaware that their very breath is giving constant acknowledgment to God. Likewise, a person leaves this earth with their last breath, when God’s name is no longer filing their lungs.

So when I can’t utter anything else, is my cry calling out His name?

Being alive means I speak His name constantly. Is it heard the loudest when I’m the quietest?

In sadness, we breathe heavy sighs. In joy, our lungs feel almost like they will burst. In fear we hold our breath and have to be told to breathe slowly to help us calm down. When we’re about to do something hard, we take a deep breath to find our courage.

When I think about it, breathing is giving Him praise. Even in the hardest moments!

This is so beautiful and fills me with emotion every time I grasp the thought. God chose to give himself a name that we can’t help but speak every moment we’re alive. All of us, always, everywhere. Waking, sleeping, breathing, with the name of God on our lips.

COVID-19 Update

FAUXTUS: Yeah … it’s got NOTHING to do with the miserable midterm polls or the increasingly vociferous protests against mandates. Nothing. At. All. (Stop pulling on that curtain, Toto!)

MANDATES: On Monday, unvaccinated health care workers across the country ran out of time on the federal vaxxx mandate. We know of at least one local nurse who quit her job rather than subject her body to experimental gene therapy.

D.C. is ending its vaxxx mandate for businesses, but keeping it for students.

NYC has fired 1,430 city employees this week for refusing the jab. Thousands more public jobs hang in the balance.

Minneapolis and St. Paul will no longer require proof of vaxxx or negative ‘rona test before entering bars, restaurants, and ticketed events.

San Franciscans voted overwhelmingly (72%) to oust the school board’s president, vice president, and their #1 fangirl over their harsh ‘rona measures and support for stupid things like renaming school buildings.

Amazon has dropped its employee vaxxx mandate, but upped penalties for the un-jabbed, including the removal of sick pay benefits related to COVID sickness.

In Italy, starting on Feb. 22, all public and private employees aged 50 and older will need to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination via the country’s “super green pass” in order to enter their workplace.

SPIKE PROTEINS: If you had COVID-19 or received a COVID-19 injection, you may have dangerous spike proteins circulating in your body, causing damage to cells, tissues and organs. The top 10 spike protein detox essentials include vitamin D, vitamin C, nigella seed, quercetin, zinc, curcumin, milk thistle extract, NAC, ivermectin and magnesium.

D and I have not had the ‘rona or the jabs, but after research, I put us on “Immune Support” by MediCove Health, because it contains the recommended amounts of Quercetin, Vitamin C, Zinc, and Vitamin D3. These substances bolster a healthy immune response to all viruses and should also help clear out those nasty spike proteins. Amazon sells it.

CANADA:We’re not breaking the law and we’re not moving.” [1:57]

CANCELLATION: Canadian legacy media is doxing people who donated to the Freedom Convoy. WaPo is contacting them for why they would do such a thing. And Twitter is facilitating it all.

Remember when legacy and social media outlets pompously refused to report on the numerous allegations that fell out of Hunter Biden’s computer, because it was “hacked” and “personal”? Big Surprise (not). It turns out they only care about privacy when it protects The Leftist Elite.

CHARIOTS OF FREEDOM: The truckers’ business has saved this guy’s business. [4:26]

CROOKED DEMS: Only two campaigns have ever hired Neustar Information Services, the tech firm Shrillary used to spy on Trump – e.g., hers and Joe Biden’s.

In Hawaii, two Dems have been convicted for having accepted multiple bribes in exchange for using their positions in the state government to benefit a Hawaiian businessperson.

DIVERSITY, TOLERANCE, EQUITY: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/watch?v=928458564518644 [2:59] to hear how the Left uses these words vs. what these words actually mean.

KIMMEL: CLICK https://twitter.com/alexchristy17/status/1493958387473817600 [:16] (or don’t) to hear Jimmy Kimmel call the Durham story a “made up Hillary Clinton spying case” that Fox News is feeding to its viewers with “soft, oatmeal-like brains.

MIDTERMS: We must ignore everything campaigning Dems say hoping it will get them elected. We must never, ever forget what they have actually done. [9:16] – Thirty House Dems have now announced they’re not running for re-election. IOW, they’re all looking at the “Dems are gonna lose” polls and saying, “Why bother running?” Esp given the golden parachutes they voted to put into their retirement packages. (In what other business do the people earning the money get to decide how much they’ll get without any input from the people paying the bills?!)

PALIN vs. NYT: The jury returned a unanimous verdict in the Time’s favor BUT it stinks of week old fish. Before they finished deliberating, the judge announced that he was going to dismiss Palin’s case regardless of what the jury decided. And the jury now says they were informed of his decision before they voted.

POLLING: Democrats haven’t got any real values apart from a lust for power and money. During campaign seasons, they say whatever their focus groups tell them to say. Once in power, they revert to type … a type which is eloquently displayed here in both word and tone @ https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1493713299308830720 [:33].

We experienced this kind of “keep your nose out” attitude in our local public elementary school, so switched the kids to a wonderful Catholic school where we got used to being part of the team. When our eldest graduated, we sent her to a Catholic middle school where we were again told to butt out. Yeah, no. NOT going to put up with that WHILE PAYING TUITION. At that point, the local public junior/senior high was the better choice for our kids. I’m not sure it still would be, but thankfully, we’re not parenting school-aged kids any more. Even more thankfully, three of our grands are in a wonderful private school while the other five are being home schooled … and number NINE is due very soon!

PROJECT VERITAS: CLICK the link to read about and see the undercover video exposing how Big Pharma buys FDA approval to make money on their products. They want to force annual ‘rona vaxxxes on everyone because “it’ll be recurring fountain of revenue.”

SATANCON: Catholic demonstrators prayed, read from the Bible, and held signs, banners, rosaries, crosses, and images of the Virgin Mary outside the Saguaro Hotel in Scottsdale, Arizona over the weekend. Inside, the Satanic Temple held an event called “SatanCon,” which included presentations celebrating abortion and instructing attendees on how to raise Satanic children.

SCIENCE: Not to mention the leeches. We must remember that science is objective while scientists can be threatened or bribed to advance a political agenda.

STEM CELLS: A U.S. patient who received a stem cell transplant for leukemia was also cured of HIV because the donor had natural immunity to the virus. In the two other cases, the virus was cured after the patients received adult stem cells.

TWITTER: Defiant L had 350K followers for his account that featured screen shots of other people’s tweets. Above is one example. Twitter has canceled him.

GRAMMY NOTES: One morning when I was sleeping in, my smoke alarm starting blatting at irregular intervals. It wasn’t on, like it had been triggered. And it wasn’t chirping, like the battery was low. It would beep, then beeeeeeeep, then beepbeepbeep. It kept happening until, finally, I gave up on my sleep in. Then, of course, it stopped! LOL

But as I was walking to the kitchen, I noticed a cold breeze and, turning the corner, saw the front door standing open and our beloved greyhound standing in the middle of the street! I went to the door and did my best squeaky ‘LET’S PLAY’ voice and she promptly came lolloping in to get a treat.

Later, I got on a step stool to take a look at the smoke alarm and was astonished to find it had no battery in it. When my husband came home, I showed him the bare wires and he said, “It kept going off when I took a shower, so I took the battery out.”

OH, CANADA!

I was just telling Dearest yesterday that both sides claimed to have the majority behind them, but that I had yet to see an actual poll. Now I have. Sixty-four percent of the 1,523 Canadians surveyed on Feb. 9 and 10 said it’s time to drop all COVID restrictions.

CANADA: [5:04] – Fox News reporting on the Freedom Convoy, Trudeau’s jackboot move, and the convoy that has started here.

Freedom Convoy organizers say they will continue to protest on Parliament Hill despite the federal government’s declaration of a state of emergency. “We are not afraid. In fact, every time the government decides to further suspend our civil liberties, our resolve strengthens and the importance of our mission becomes clearer. We will remain peaceful, but planted on Parliament Hill until the mandates are decisively ended. We recognize that there is a democratic process within which change occurs. We have never stepped outside of that process, nor do we intend to.”

Poor parents cannot afford to replace outgrown shoes year after year. But having a pair of shoes not only saves kids from soil-transmitted diseases and parasites, it also means they can attend school.

HILLARY THE SPY: [8:26] – “So there you have it. Russiagate, the collective delusion that Donald Trump was secretly a Russian agent aided and abetted by the Kremlin, the topic of uncountable inches of Washington Post and New York Times copy and the entire primetime lineup of MSNBC, was a dirty trick by the Hillary Clinton campaign. Not just part of it. All of it. One of the most diabolical, successful misinformation campaigns ever concocted.” – Beginning of Feb 13, 2022 NY Post editorial

KENTUCKY: Scratch a Leftist and you’ll find a violent thug marching under a banner of peace and tolerance – On Monday, after a gunman attempted to shoot (like, with a gun) Louisville’s Democrat mayoral candidate at his campaign headquarters, the Left immediately assumed the perp was a gun-loving, Trump-voting redneck. He’s actually a gun-control activist who, in 2019, wrote an opinion piece entitled “Kentucky’s concealed carry law shows your life doesn’t matter to gun-loving Republicans.

Quintez Brown is also a BLM activist who says he is working for “the total liberation and unification of Africa under scientific socialism.” He has had enough prominence to have once been invited to appear on Joy Reid’s MSNBC show.

Not one person publicly said they agreed with me, or even that they didn’t agree with me, but supported my right to say what I believe anyway.

ONTARIO: Premier Doug Ford has announced that ‘rona restrictions will begin easing … but that it has nothing to do with the truckers who he says could face “serious consequences” for “lawless activity” if they don’t disband.

SLIME: The Legacy Media ignored the bombshell news about Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

GRAMMY NOTES: The k on my keyboard started to stick and make kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk until I manually pulled it back up. So I found a YouTube about how to unstick a key, which amounts to pulling the key off and cleaning inside, around, and under, then putting it back on. As soon as I pulled the k key off, it was obvious that I needed to do the whole keyboard. Almost 2 hours and a LOT of cotton swabs later, my keyboard is clean and the keys are markedly bouncier and clickier. The only amazing thing overall is not that one key had started to stick, but that ONLY one key had started to stick! I think a mouse could easily build a nest with all the dust, hair, and food crumbs I cleaned out! LOL

CATHOLIC: Father Gabriele Amorth is the chief exorcist of Rome. Over the past 30 years, he has carried out approximately 70,000 exorcisms. Not surprisingly, ‘Jesus Christ’ is the name Fr. Amorth most often calls upon to expel demons. But he also turns to saintly men and women for their heavenly assistance. Interestingly, he said that in recent years one man – Pope John Paul II – has proved to be a particularly powerful intercessor.

I have asked the demon more than once, ‘Why are you so scared of John Paul II and I have had two different responses, both interesting. One, ‘because he disrupted my plans.’ And, I think that he is referring to the fall of communism in Russia and Eastern Europe. The collapse of communism.”

Another response that he gave me, ‘because he pulled so many young people from my hands.’ There are so many young people who, thanks to John Paul II, were converted. Perhaps some were already Christian but not practicing, but then with John Paul II they came back to the practice. ‘He pulled so many young people out of my hands.’”

And the most powerful intercessor of all?

Of course, the Madonna is even more effective. Ah, when you invoke Mary!”

And, once I also asked Satan, ‘but why are you more scared when I invoke Our Lady than when I invoke Jesus Christ?’ He answered me, ‘Because I am more humiliated to be defeated by a human creature than being defeated by him.

Fr. Amorth has written six books which are all for sale at Amazon.

CRUZ 1, AOC 0: Out of the blue, Sandy O tweeted out a video of herself doing a little dance step and labeled “Ted Cruz could never.” Cruz responded with just two words. “Nice mask.”

DEMOCRATS: Yes, they really did this. [Kinda wondering … who is Doug?]

DURHAM: “Worse than Watergate.” [4:20] – CLICK https://rumble.com/vuv34e-ric-grenell-reacts-to-bombshell-report-proving-trump-was-spied-on.html [2:44] to hear Ric Grenell talk about Durham’s court filings alleging the Hillary campaign was paying to spy on the Trump White House. He says the internet company had to have had help from inside the Trump White House to get that kind of access.

GARY GENSLER: Gensler is Biden’s current chair of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Under Obama, he was chair of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Under Clinton, he was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Financial Markets, then Under Secretary of the Treasury for Domestic Finance. Prior to his career in the federal government, Gensler worked at Goldman Sachs, where he was a partner and co-head of finance.

And when Hillary’s 2016 presidential campaign was trying to destroy Donald Trump, Gary Gensler served as her campaign’s CFO. IOW, he was the one disbursing the funds that paid for the dossier and all the other dirty tricks the Durham investigation is uncovering.

Again, every American should be outraged by this! …. This is the biggest scandal we have ever seen. Now we know for sure, they tried to cheat in the 2016 election.

SUPER BOWL: According to Los Angeles County’s mask mandate, everybody 2 years and older was required to wear a mask at the Super Bowl, except when they were eating or drinking. To encourage compliance, all spectators were issued a KN95 mask.

Said compliance was spotty at best and non-existent among the celebrity and political elites. Chief among those who were photographed maskless were “masks are for thee, but not for me” California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti.

Tweeters noted the hypocrisy. “The Super Bowl definitively proved that ongoing Covid mandates are not about science, but about control.

My students all have to wear masks all day tomorrow, inside and outside of their classrooms because we are in LA County. Same place as the Super Bowl. But not a mask in sight here.

WAPO: In the Left’s Matrix Media, there is nothing but the endless present in which they are always right.

GRAMMY NOTES: Early in her first year in full time school, Mama Buzz forgot her lunch box, so the teacher bought her lunch in the cafeteria. Since it was loaded with foods that made her hyper, I got to “enjoy” her afternoon reacting to and evening detoxing from the exposure. I read the school the riot act: SHE CAN’T EAT ANYTHING SHE DOESN’T BRING FROM HOME.

When I thought one of my girls was ready for or needed it, I’d give her a new responsibility paired with a new privilege. Because they all had serious food allergies, my top priority was teaching them to be responsible about what they ate. So I gave her the responsibility of remembering her lunch pail and the privilege of keeping her reading lamp on longer than her sisters did at bed time.

Mini Mama was always testing my limits and she loved all of her most allergenic foods, so she “accidentally” forgot her lunch box again. The teacher called, requesting I bring it. I explained to her that I was sick in bed, my hubby was at work, and my kid needed to learn a serious lesson about her serious food allergies, so no. The teacher acted like I’d condemned my first grader to Auschwitz.

I told her, “Look. You can give her an apple, nothing more, and when she gets home IN THREE HOURS, she can eat her lunch.” And my kid never forgot her lunch again and I happen to think that me being a real stinker about her learning responsibility is at least part of why she is now such an AMAZING mom.

GRAMMY NOTES: I grew up in a football family. My father and eldest brother were head coaches of the Sprint team at Cornell, but I never really caught the pigskin bug. One time when my parents were hosting an all adult family dinner, I announced I had watched an entire professional football game. Nobody believed me. So I told them what the cheerleaders had worn and about the quarterback who had played with a cast on his hand. They asked if I remembered which teams had played or who had won? Ummm … no.
