COVID Insanity Moments

From the people who have been yapping at us to “Follow The Science” …

In Denver, they banned family members from playing catch in a public park.

In Italy, two cops rousted a lone guy laying on an empty beach.

In California, they pulled a lone kayaker from the water.

In Ireland, two doctors were suspended for going hiking out in the middle of nowhere.

Kids under 2 at daycare don’t wear masks ever, but turn 2 years old and 1 day & they wear masks for 6 hours straight Except for eating and napping B/c little known fact: Covid can’t be transmitted while you’re sleeping! But once a toddler is awake? Boom! Super spreader!

When the day care at the school was open, but the classrooms were closed.

After the children were allowed to return to in person school in late March 2021, my kids’ school did not allow anyone to use the playground equipment. This was long after most other playgrounds reopened around our county.

On Labor Day weekend, the streets of Carmel by the Sea were packed, but the beach was off limits and guarded by police, unless you were going to cross it to get to the ocean to “exercise.” We were not allowed to watch our kids in the water, so we went home.

In Michigan, Whitmer banned all boats with motors. Row boats, canoes, and kayaks were allowed. Later, when the motor ban was lifted, boats were limited to four people regardless of size of family or boat.

While simultaneously claiming that 99% of new cases are in the unvaccinated, the CDC actually only track vaccine status on those who get sick enough to need hospitalization.

No gatherings above 10 people, but protests could go up to 100 people.

Someone called the cops on me for sitting on my 6th floor balcony without a mask.

In LA, a restaurant spent thousands to comply with outdoor seating rules. The city closed them, while allowing a film crew’s caterer to serve from a tent right next to the restaurant.

Banning eating inside a restaurant, but allowing structures to be built outside within which people could eat.

In New York, chips could only be served with salsa, not without.

When restaurants were allowed back open, and you had to wear your mask until you were seated. Because the Rona doesn’t come for you when seated.

I saw a guy at the gym put hand sanitizer on his gloves.

I saw musicians playing their instruments through holes in their masks.

Three weeks ago, I had my credit card sprayed with disinfectant before it was handed back to me.

I was told I might have to wear a mask giving birth.

I saw a man out walking pull his mask down to take a drag on his cigarette, then put the mask back up to protect his health.

I saw a group of women SCREAMING at a guy hiking at the top of a mountain to put a mask on.

Competitive swimmers practiced 6 feet apart in chlorinated water.

In Pennsylvania, youth baseball infielders have to put on their masks if there is a base runner.

In New York, high school cross country runners have to wear a mask while competing.

The arrows you had to follow in the grocery store. Because viruses can only attack you if you’re going certain directions down aisles.

Target forced everyone to go in and out of the same entrance because of Covid restrictions.

Restricting what people could buy after they were already inside the store. I heard one old guy was not allowed to purchase river rocks that he had already put in his cart, because it had come from a banned aisle.

We decided to use the lockdown to start a garden and we weren’t allowed to go to the garden section of the store and had to buy everything on Amazon.


SCOTUS ruling that Nevada can allow casinos, restaurants, and other businesses to operate at 50% percent of capacity with proper social distancing, while simultaneously barring churches from doing the same.

Closing all the small businesses, schools, and churches— but pretending it’s perfectly fine to cram the entire community into the single open Costco & Walmart in town.

CALIFORNIA: A recent poll of 1,000 registered voters found Elder in the lead with 16%. John Cox and Kevin Faulconer tied for second with 6% and Kevin Kiley and Caitlyn Jenner tied for third with 4%. The majority of those polled (53%) said they hadn’t decided yet.

CANADA: In the past two months, forty-eight Christian churches, including Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox, have been vandalized and even burned to the ground. The Slime Stream Media is largely ignoring it, because … you know … Christianity. Also the perps are Progressives.

CATHOLIC: At a Thursday press conference, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-CA, invoked her status as a mother and “devout Catholic” as she stated that taxpayer-funding for abortion is a “priority” for her party.

Also on Thursday, Nancy’s archbishop, Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco, issued a statement in which he said, “No one can claim to be a devout Catholic and condone the killing of innocent human life, let alone have the government pay for it. The right to life is a fundamental—the most fundamental—human right, and Catholics do not oppose fundamental human rights.”

The smoke screen of abortion as an issue of health and fairness to poor women is the epitome of hypocrisy: What about the health of the baby being killed? What about giving poor women real choice, so they are supported in choosing life? This would give them fairness and equality to women of means, who can afford to bring a child into the world.”

The “people of faith” who run crisis pregnancy centers “provide poor women life-giving alternatives to having their babies killed in their wombs. I cannot be prouder of my fellow Catholics who are so prominent in providing this vital service. To them I say: You are the ones worthy to call yourselves ‘devout Catholics!’

GENDER: Yeah, so this really happened. The Norwegian women’s beach handball team petitioned the European Handball Federation for permission to wear more modest sports bras with tight-fitting, stretchy shorts when competing. They say the regulation uniforms are uncomfortable and make them feel unnecessarily sexualized.

The bosses said, nope. The rules say, “Women should wear a bikini where the top should be a tight-fitting sports bra with deep openings at the arms. The bottom must not be more than 10 centimeters on the side.

The team reports that at first, they we were told they’d be fined 50 euros per person per match, if they wore the more modest outfits. They decided it was worth it, but when they showed up without their side boobs and butt cheeks hanging out, they were told they would be disqualified if they didn’t change.

Meanwhile, the men’s teams wear tank tops and shorts. Where are the feminists?!

NEWSBUSTERS: On Wednesday’s Andrea Mitchell Reports, weekend host Jonathan Capehart said humans might have to fly into space to find a safe place to live.

On Friday’s The View, co-host Sunny Hostin claimed that the 2nd Amendment was “designed to protect slavery.

NIGERIA: From January 1 to July 18, 2021, Islamic Jihadists and their collaborators in the security forces have murdered 3, 462 defenseless Christians, abducted or killed ten priests or pastors, and threatened, attacked, destroyed, burnt or forced to close approximately 300 Christian churches. Meanwhile, the government of Nigeria does nothing about it.

Please pray for pray for the souls of those who have been killed and for their grieving friends and family. Please pray that those who persecute the church or stand by as it happens will repent and find salvation in Christ. Please pray that the world will recognize the scale of the suffering that believers endure in Nigeria and put pressure on the leaders to protect their Christian citizens.

NORTH KOREA: As food shortages cause skyrocketing food prices and even more starvation than usual, the state media has been extolling dear leader for living in a “modest mansion” and reportedly rejecting luxurious amenities.

Meanwhile, Kim Jong Un’s largest (of four) luxury watercraft was seen on Monday being towed towards his sprawling Wonsan mansion complex on the east coast. The custom 260-foot luxury yacht features dual twisting water slides, an Olympic sized pool, and a multi-story lounge area.

TIKTOK: The blackout challenge (aka, the passout challenge or the fainting game) is a dangerous new social media trend that is apparently even more stupid and dangerous than the Tide Pod challenge was.

In the challenge, TikTok users choke themselves until they lose consciousness. As they regain consciousness, they experience a euphoria-like feeling. So far there are four reported deaths, all of 9- to 12-year-olds.

VAX: The FDA has added Guillain-Barré Syndrome as a possible adverse side effect of the J&J COVID-19 vaccine. This came after 100 reports to VAERS, 95 of which were serious and required hospitalization. There was one death.

YAF: Erik Suarez, a rising senior and Young Americans for Freedom activist at Penn State University was successful in convincing the administration to remove a Fidel Castro quote from a university wall.

COVID-19 Update

A study out of Johns Hopkins found ZERO corona virus mortality rate among healthy children. ALL of the kids who died of the virus were suffering from a preexisting medical condition such as leukemia. IOW, there is literally ZERO justification for masking and/or vaccinating minors!

CLICK https://twitter.com/aginnt/status/1417860184538451968 [:50] to hear a newscaster announce that the government has ordered Sydney back into lockdown … because there were 111 new cases and 1 death … of an 80 year old man. This one death brought the total for this variant to three.

All but “essential” businesses are closed, all construction sites are shut down, and all citizens are ordered to stay at home. Not only can you not leave your neighborhood, but Australian officials say that if you see someone you know while you’re outside doing essential business, you shouldn’t talk to one another. Not even if you’re both masked and standing 6 feet apart.

CLICK https://twitter.com/apexworldnews/status/1415758009209397261 [:18] how Melbourne reacted to this insanity.

In all of Manitoba’s 250,000 square miles, the daily death rate from COVID-19 has been less than one … which goes nowhere to explain why the lock down in Manitoba is so severe that museums, movie theaters, and concert venues are still limited to 50% capacity. And the only people allowed in to these venues are those who have received two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine and are masked. This includes the Museum of Human Rights.

COVID-19: On Monday, a federal judge upheld Indiana University’s vaccine mandate which requires students, faculty, and staff to take an experimental COVID-19 jab as a condition of attending classes or maintaining employment at the institution.

The university is presenting the students with a difficult choice — get the vaccine or else apply for an exemption or deferral, transfer to a different school, or forego schools for the semester altogether. But, this hard choice doesn’t amount to coercion,” the judge said.

FAKEBOOK: The Speech Police has repeatedly flagged the word “hoe” in a gardening group, because “it goes against our standards for harassment and bullying,

A subsequent post in the same group was automatically disabled because of “possible violence, incitement, or hate in multiple comments.” At issue were “Japanese beetles are jerks” and “Kill them all. Drown them in soapy water.

VIRGINIA: On Thursday, the Russell County school board voted 7-0 to reject the radical gender guidelines being pushed by the state’s Department of Education. The rejected policy says schools should “accept a student’s assertion of their gender identity without requiring any particular substantiating evidence, including diagnosis, treatment, or legal documents.”

Voting Democrat Got You This

The following by Don Surber is copied from https://donsurber.blogspot.com/2021/07/voting-democrat-got-you-this.html. I added the pictures. Dunno ’bout all y’all, but I have a hard time engaging with long essays online. The pics help break it up. Plus, I have soooo many graphics in my “save for PN” folders! LOL So here goes me cleaning out my overstock while sparing you the agonizing difficulty of clicking on Don Surber’s site, though you could click on it just so he gets credit for your read, which helps boost his ad income, but I digress …

I realize Democrats stuffed the ballot box with Fake Votes because that is the only explanation for a sudden surge in voter turnout from 56% to a historic high of 67% — the highest by far in a century. Only 1964’s 61% came close. Voter turnout was 53% in 1932 when FDR came into office.

But some people did vote Democrat and I want to explain to them what they voted for because I do not believe they fully understand.

First, they did not vote for social justice. Many of them believe they did because Democrat mayors had city street departments paint Black Lives Matter in the streets. That was for show because the reality, Democrat mayors do not care about black people, especially the black Democrat mayors.

For example, Lori Lightfoot presides over Chicago, which through Tuesday had 428 murders. Most victims are black. The odds of a murder being solved are 1 in 6 in Chicago. That is based on the number of homicide cases cleared each year. If her highness cared, she would make a priority of punishing the murderers of black people. She would order police to crack down on the murders. She would be in black neighborhoods encouraging people to cooperate with investigations.

Instead she stays in white and upscale black neighborhoods because they are safe. Criminals have a longstanding understanding with Chicago Democrats that police will look the other way in return for favors and kickbacks, provided they stay out of white and upscale black neighborhoods.

The last Republican mayor left Chicago City Hall nearly 90 years ago. What’s that? You didn’t vote for some inner city crook? You voted for that nice Mark Kelly for Senate in Arizona because you think Republican Martha McSally is crazy. That argument is delusional.

Who do you think will approve of the crazy plans Biden has for America? Senator Kelly will never say no to the federalization of elections — which will keep evil clowns like Lightfoot in power.

Worse, Senator Kelly will never say no to the federalization of local zoning laws — which will turn middle class suburbs into Ferguson, Missouri. Senator Kelly will never say no to any federalization of anything because he is all for giving the federal government more power because Democrats own the federal government.

We know that because we saw how the Democrat deep state sabotaged President Donald John Trump.

Let me get back to Ferguson for a moment. Here is what really happened. The last Republican mayor of St. Louis left office 76 years ago. Democrats turned the city into a crime zone. Well, at least the working-class black neighborhoods. Black people began escaping to Ferguson, which was run by a white, Republican administration. Everything was fine until an 18-year-old thug decided to bully a store owner. Confronted by a cop, he tried to use the officer’s gun to kill him. Instead, the officer killed him. Democrats and the media seized upon this to destroy Ferguson. It now has a Democrat mayor, which makes it a place no sane person would live in.

Federalizing local zoning laws would install what we used to call the projects into suburbia in the name of diversity and equity and all that BS.

But this will happen only in Republican enclaves. The elitist Democrat refuges from the insanity they create will not be diversified. No sir. They tried to integrate a school in Upper West Side Manhattan. Among the wealthy white protesters were Samantha Bee and her husband.

When you voted Democrat, you approved of this divide between the wealthy and the rest of us. Under Democrats, the elitists get the gold mine, we get the shaft, as Jerry Reed once sang.

When you voted Democrat, you voted against prosperity for women and minorities.

Not a single Democrat voted for the Jobs and Tax Cut Act of 2017, which led to the lowest unemployment in 50 years — 3.5% — and historic lows in unemployment for blacks, Hispanics, and women, the very groups Democrats falsely claim to represent. Democrats exploit women and minorities. The bottom quartile of workers by wages saw the highest wage increases. For the first time since Reagan left office, the wealth gap narrowed. When you voted Democrat, you voted against that.

But this post is about what voting for Democrats got you. A police state.

The FBI is now a Racketeer Influenced Criminal Organization. Consider Jim Comey’s investigation of Hillary sending 33,000 emails to Red China, which included classified material, as secretary of state. That investigation consisted of destroying evidence and granting immunity to those who could testify against her (sparing them Arkancide). Then he announced that he opposed prosecuting her. Duh.

While Comey was doing this amid the 2016 campaign, he approved applications for FISA warrants to spy on the Trump campaign. Those applications contained outright falsehoods. Transcripts of the spying were read by Susan Rice and Vice President Biden, among others. They were leaked to the New York Times, which on Inauguration Day greeted the new President Trump with a Front Page story on the wiretapping. Its word, not mine.

When you voted Democrat, you approved of the politicization of the FBI and the entire intelligence apparatus in Washington. NSA spied on Tucker Carlson this year. The media cheered, just as it cheered spying on Trump.

When you voted Democrat, you approved of the Capitol Police not disclosing which one of its 2,200 officers shot and killed an unarmed Ashli Babbitt whose only crime was protesting inside the Capitol.

When you voted Democrat, you helped the Cuban regime because Obama ended 60 years of a Cuban embargo in exchange for nothing.

When you voted Democrat, you voted for stopping construction of a pipeline in the United States while approving of a Russian pipeline to Germany.

When you voted Democrat, you voted for buying Iranian oil for the first time in 40 years in exchange for nothing.

Now for the reality. This is the Democrat Party of my grandfather’s day. That is why he voted Republican.

Democrats are still the party of corrupt Democrat mayors who are in bed with organized crime. Who do you think protected the Five Mafia Families of NYC until Rudy Giuliani came along? Democrats never forgave him for reducing crime in that city.

Democrats are still the party of racial division. They just changed sides. They went from founding the KKK to founding BLM. Their new sideshow is LGBTQ+.

Democrats are still the party of the elitists. Just about every college professor, every celebrity, and every CEO in the nation supports Democrats.

Hello? The richest man in the world promotes the freaking Democrat Party through his Washington Post.

When you vote Democrat, you get a police state run by oligarchs.

Since then, the “everybody should be tolerant of us” trans activists have sent hundreds of vicious messages to her in which they threaten to beat, rape, assassinate and bomb her.

LIFE: On Tuesday, Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed the Human Life Protection Act into law. Should SCOTUS overturn Roe v. Wade, a ban on abortions in Texas will go into effect 30 days later. Exceptions would be allowed for risks to the mother’s life or a “substantial impairment of major bodily function.” Abortionists who violate the measure could face fines or prison time.

OPIOID CRISIS: British Columbia is in its sixth year with more than 7,000 drug overdose deaths. Over the past few years, their response has been to decriminalize and de-stigmatize drug use. Now, they’ve decided to give away free drugs.

Jessica Swietoniowski at Not The Bee writes, “The last time I was in Vancouver, in December 2020, I was horrified by the explicit drug use. In broad daylight, on a busy sidewalk, there would be people shooting up. I saw a couple shooting each other up, I saw a man’s blood being drawn back into the syringe, I saw a woman smoking something that looked like crack and I believe I saw a man overdose in the street.”

As I recall, Nancy Reagan had a lot of success with her “Just Say No” campaign. Whatever happened to that?

PRIEST SCANDAL: For some years, Monsignor Jeffrey Burrill, a priest of the Diocese of La Crosse, Wisconsin, has been an active part of the U.S. bishops’ response to sexual abuse and coercion accusations. While engaged in that work, he has engaged in serial sexual misconduct.

While he has not been accused of improper conduct with any minors, he has used a gay hookup app called Grindr on a near-daily basis and visited gay bars, a gay bathhouse, and private residences. He did these things even while traveling on assignment for the U.S. bishops’ conference. Burrill also accessed Grindr while staying in the USCCB staff residence, while visiting his family lake house, and at his personal apartment in Wisconsin.

The Grindr app and similar hookup apps use mobile device location data to allow users to see a listing of other nearby users of the app, to chat and exchange images with nearby users within the app, or to arrange a meeting for the sake of an anonymous sexual encounter.

According to canon law and the Church’s tradition, clerics are obliged to observe ‘perfect and perpetual continence,’ as a reflection of what should be our lived pursuit of our spousal relationship with the Church and with Christ.

Fr. Thomas Berg, a professor of moral theology at St. Joseph’s Seminary in Yonkers, New York, said that “when it becomes evident that a cleric is regularly and glaringly failing to live continence,” that can become “only a step away from sexual predation.” The issue is compounded when a cleric in a position of ecclesiastical authority is found to “engage in a double life. That almost always impacts the lives of other people around them because deception breeds deception breeds deception.”

Burrill has resigned from his position with the USCCB. It will be up to his bishop to decide what else to do about him.

ROOKIE: A noob on the Glasgow police force was on night patrol when she got spooked by a “drone” that wouldn’t stop following her.

And she is never, Never, NEVER going to live this down. Not ever.

TEXAS RUNAWAYS: Six members of the plane load of unmasked, fully vaccinated Texas Dems who fled the state have now tested positive to COVID-19. In addition, a fully vaccinated White House official has tested positive following a reception the WH held for the “brave” runaways.

This comes after the FAUXTUS administration and Slime Stream Media declared (based on zero evidence) that 99% of all new cases of COVID-19 are among the horrible flat earthers who refuse to get vaccinated.

In a spirit of True Transparency, the runaways have decided not to announce when or if more of them test positive. If this were a bunch of conservative lawmakers, we’d still be hearing about this “dangerous super-spreader” stunt six months from now.

TWITTER: Michael L. Brown posted this question on his Facebook page and Twitter account where it stimulated a lively discussion.

To those who are outraged over the fact that many Americans still choose not to be vaccinated, do you honestly believe that if those people were convinced the vaccines were perfectly safe in the long term and would save lives that most of them would not be vaccinated immediately?

Facebook has left it alone (the link is below). Twitter froze his account for violating its medical misinformation policy.

BEN & JERRY’S: On Monday, Ben & Jerry announced it would put the freeze on selling ice cream in “the Occupied Palestinian Territory” (aka,the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip in Israel).

Democrats won’t be happy until the U.S.A. is as big a crap hole as Cuba.

CATHOLIC: Pope St. John Paul II and Benedict XVI encouraged use of the Latin form of the Mass; Pope Francis recently issued a directive drastically limiting its use.

Stressing that the current pontiff’s directive can be “modified again by any future pope,” Cardinal Gerhard Müller said it failed to make a good case for the new restrictions. He also noted that he found it to be mean-spirited. “Instead of appreciating the smell of the sheep, the shepherd here hits them hard with his crook.”

Pope Francis really appears to have a special animus toward the most traditional, politically conservative, and devout of Catholics. Since assuming office, he has sneered at large families, saying that while birth control is wrong, people don’t have to “breed like rabbits.” He insists that man-made climate change is a sin against the Earth and that we all have a moral obligation to jump on the Green New Deal wagon. He has said that Muslims worship the same God as Christians and that “the diversity of religions” is “willed by God in His wisdom.” He keeps a painting of a nude Jesus ministering to Judas in Hell behind his desk and, last month, sent a handwritten note to dissident priest James Martin encouraging him in his LBTGQ ministry.

In the recent uproar over whether or not pro-abortion Democrat pols should be denied communion, he came out on the side of the Democrats. Because tolerance or something. So where’s the tolerance for all the actually devout Catholics who enjoy the solemn reverence of the Latin Mass?

COVID-19: Click the links to read about the overwhelming volume of research showing the value of optimizing your vitamin D levels in the prevention and treatment of the coronavirus.

Nearly half of all Americans are deficient. People over age 65 are especially prone to vitamin D deficiency and these are also the people at highest risk for serious complications from the coronavirus. Hmm …

Your doctor can order a blood test to check your level, but you’ll probably have to ask for it. In my experience, it hasn’t been routinely included in a standard blood panel. Supplementing is inexpensive, but deciding how much to take can be tricky, so best to know your level and talk it over with your physician.

N.b., your body’s ability to absorb vitamin D is greatly increased if you take it with high-fat foods. For many people, this means dinner time.

After laying out how Fauci’s NIH funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Lab, Paul asked if Fauci had lied to Congress when he said the NIH never funded gain-of-function research.

In response, Fauci got so angry his hands were shaking. But his actual reply had nothing whatsoever to do with Paul’s question. Shorter Paul: You told us you didn’t fund gain-of-function research. This study shows you did. Shorter Fauci: That study has nothing to do with COVID-19!

Fauci didn’t just lie to Congress. He also broke the law. Between October 2014 and December 2017, the U.S. government had a ban on using tax moneys to fund experiments to deliberately make influenza, Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) pathogens more transmissible and/or more deadly. The SARS gain-of-function research done by the Wuhan lab in China that Sen. Paul cites was funded in part with U.S. tax dollars funneled in 2015 from the agency Fauci runs.

TUCKER CARLSON: Definitely CLICK https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=345902573867106&notif_id=1626796487230202 [11:01] to hear Tucker do some peak satire about the Texas Pilgrims … six of whom have now tested positive despite being fully vaxxed.

Then Tucker gets serious about the vaccine. He shows a clip of a Brit admitting that a large percentage of hospitalized COVID patients were fully vaccinated, after which he plays clips of American pols and media shills telling us the exact opposite.

Peak Irony: Under Tucker’s report at FB is a Fake Check that says, “COVID-19 vaccines go through many tests for safety and effectiveness and are then monitored closely. Source: World Health Organization.

AOC: During the first six months of 2021, AOC spent $1.4 million on swag to sell in her official “AOC Team Shop.” This is more than other lawmakers spent on their entire campaigns during this same period. S’funny how the elite have no problem using capitalism to advance socialism.

CATHOLIC: Let us pray that more Catholic leaders stick their necks out the way Joe Cervantes’ pastor and bishop are doing. Both his pastor and his bishop say they reached out to him privately multiple times about his vote to legalize abortion up to birth, but that he never gave them the courtesy of a response. May God have mercy on his soul. He’s gonna need it.

CHICOMS: Beijing Biden, the Manchurian President, and his court mandarins have had nothing to say in response to China’s threat to nuke Japan if the latter dares to intervene to prevent the so-called “liberation” of Taiwan.

CUBANS SPEAK OUT: Bernie Sanders, AOC, and their ilk should shut up and listen to what people who escaped have to say about socialism!

PROJECT VERITAS: [27:18] – The latest inside whistleblower is from a toy manufacturer. He says Hasbro is deliberately pushing CRT to their employees and through their products.

Racism isn’t inherent to any race. It is taught. When I introduced my infant daughter to our next door neighbor, the look on her tiny face was priceless. It was like, “WHAT on Earth?!” The dear neighbor, bless her heart, just laughed and said, “So I’m the first black face you’ve seen!” Well, yes. It was.

A couple years later, my little girls’ bff was the melanin-enriched daughter of another neighbor. That kid’s auntie had a very dark-skinned toddler son and did day care for a really pasty white toddler. One day, she came by with a boy on each hip. I took one look at them and burst out laughing! She got it immediately and, nodding toward the day care kid, said laughingly, “I dropped this one in the bleach!

VAX: In 2019, Olivia Sandor became paralyzed from the waist down after getting a flu shot. She eventually regained her ability to walk, but her doctors warned her that taking another vaccine could result in permanent paralysis or death. When her college of choice, Brigham Young University-Hawaii (BYU), imposed its draconian demand that all students and staff submit to the coronavirus vaccines, she applied for a medical exemption. She provided documentation proving the danger the shot poses. They told her tough nuggets. If she doesn’t get the shot, she isn’t welcome to attend BYU.

VFAUXTUS: Last month, two of VP Kamala Harris’ top travel aides resigned, and a Politico article alleging an “abusive” work environment under her watch soon followed. Apparently, VFAUXTUS’ toxic management style act dates back to her time as San Francisco district attorney. The stories include tales of dissent, emotional abuse, tears, therapy, and expensive settlements. And “it all starts at the top.”

Life Lessons

A mouse found a jar filled with grain. With so much easily available food, he stopped searching elsewhere and eventually ate himself down to the bottom of the jar, where he found himself in a trap he could not escape.

One day, a farmer’s donkey fell down into a dry well. The farmer couldn’t figure out how to get the donkey out and eventually decided that, rather than let the poor creature die slowly, he would suffocate him with dirt. But after shoveling in a bunch of dirt, the farmer realized the donkey was just shaking the dirt off and stepping up. The farmer kept shoveling until the donkey was close enough to the top to jump out.

Another version of this story has the farmer deciding to lower food and water to the donkey while he tried to think of a way to get him out. Day by day, the donkey ate, pooped and stepped up until eventually it was close enough to the top to jump out.

CALIFORNIA: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/aklavan/videos/5015930738433699 [5:23] to see FOX News report about the LA County Sheriff’s plan to deal with the homeless crisis in Venice.

DEMEXIT: Even as elitist anti-Trump Republicans complain about the growing populist arm of the GOP, traditional liberal Democrats are joining our ranks. The formerly Democrat mayor of North Las Vegas appeared on Fox & Friends to explain why he has switched to the Republican Party.

The Democrats “had an election recently for leadership, and four of the five people were card-carrying members of the Socialist Party. It’s not the party that I grew up with 25 years ago in this environment, and it’s not the party I can stand with anymore… The working class, or working men and women of this country, and also the small business owners are not a part of the conversation anymore. It all has to do with the elitists and it has to do with the socialists. That is not the agenda that I have in mind for this country of the future. … So I found a new place that I can put my allegiance to and help … the new, populist Republican Party.

In February, former CIA officer Bryan Dean Wright wrote an Op Ed for Daily Caller about why he switched. “For years, Democrats like me have watched with increasing alarm as our own political leaders and activists … have used an endless stream of hateful, violent and ultimately un-American rhetoric that has resulted in billions of dollars in economic damage and given birth to a violent national movement. … Where do we go, politically, now that our party can no longer be salvaged? The answer is to be found in the exit data from the 2020 election: We’re already leaving, it turns out, and joining the new, populist Republican Party.”

Victor Davis Hanson confirms that the parties have switched demographics. “Some 65% of the Americans making more than $500,000 a year are Democrats, and 74% of those who earn less than $100,000 a year are Republicans.”

FAKEBOOK: Judicial Watch announced this week that it received 75 pages of records from the Department of Veterans Affairs detailing the adverse reactions veterans had to the COVID-19 vaccines.

As of April 2021, Veteran’s Health Services reported 895 serious reactions which included: 20 cardiac arrests, 36 strokes, 15 cases of deep vein thrombosis, 10 heart attacks, and 19 pulmonary embolisms. They also reported over 26,000 less serious reactions.

In its usual fake-fact checky way, Fakebook posted this gem below the JW announcement: “Fact Check: VAERS Numbers Are NOT Proof 895 Veterans Were Killed Or Injured By COVID Vaccine — VAERS Tallies Unverified Reports.”

The JW report never even mentions VAERS.

HONEYMOON APPROVALS: FAUXTUS, who supposedly got more votes than any candidate in American history, has enjoyed massive support from the media. Yet somehow his honeymoon disapproval rating is second only to the man who suffered under 90+% negative media coverage and was threatened with impeachment before he had even taken office.

HYPOCRISY ON STEROIDS: The re-election campaign for congresswoman and squad member Cori Bush (D-MO) supports defunding the police. In the past three months, Bush has used roughly $70,000 to provide herself with private security. Her security expenses account for more than a third of her second quarter campaign expenditures.

INDEPENDENTS: David Winston at Roll Call notes that a majority of the country is not a part of either party’s base and they are becoming increasingly unhappy with FAUXTUS’ performance. Historically, independents aren’t happy when one party wins everything and then takes a hard ideological turn, which is exactly what the Democrats have done.

So, the next time you see the media and political partisans selling the idea that elections are “all about the base,” don’t buy it. Election Day 2022 will be Independents’ Day one more time.”

SHEP SMITH: For 23 years, he was the liberal voice on FOX News. Then, he left to go to CNBC where he’s failing miserably. Scott Whitlock at Newsbusters offers this simple explanation. “When he was at Fox, sounding liberal brought attention and praise. On a network like CNBC, he just sounds like everyone else.

TEXAS: Three of the Texas Democrats who fled to D.C. have tested positive for COVID-19. All three have been fully vaccinated.

Back home, Texas Republicans are using their unexpected free time to hammer the runaways for collecting paychecks while blocking passage of widely popular measures to lower property taxes, give teachers more money, increase protections for foster kids, and make elections more secure.

VACCINE HESITANCY: An MIT study found that those of us who oppose the jab are “highly informed, scientifically literate, and sophisticated in the use of data.” The study also found that “most vaccine skepticism, if by that we mean reluctance, is not based on conspiracy theorizing — it’s based on risk-benefit calculations.

The study also found that the pro-vax approach of calling us morons and murderers is backfiring. (No, really?!) “Proponents of the vaccine are unwilling or unable to understand the thinking of vaccine skeptics — or even admit that skeptics may be thinking at all. Their attempts to answer skepticism or understand it end up poisoned by condescension, and end up reinforcing it.

VAX: Dr. Robert Malone, a pioneer in the field of mRNA vaccines, shared a viral Twitter thread on Friday which lays out a disturbing trend; the most-vaccinated countries in the world are experiencing a surge in COVID-19 cases that the least-vaccinated countries are not. There are many, many graphs at the link confirming this.
