COVID Update

COURAGE: Artur Pawlowski in the video is the Polish-born pastor whose Canadian congregation has been repeatedly harassed for holding church services. Pawlowski himself has been arrested and allegedly chained, tortured, and forced to sleep on a concrete floor in solitary confinement. In Canada. For holding church services.

Pastor Pawlowski is traveling through America on his Courageous Faith tour. On June 15, he spoke to an overflowing crowd in Manhattan. “Good people don’t obey the order of tyrants. If you’re not pushing evil away, you are part of the problem. …

“In Canada to this day, prayer is illegal. But you can go to IKEA and abortion clinics and marijuana stores. I could bring my whole church to IKEA and have services there. But if one person comes to my church, I can be arrested. This is not about a virus! It’s about control.“

DEMENTIA JOE: Clip above from November 25, 2020 [:26] – CLICK https://twitter.com/DailyCaller/status/1408182902978977802 [:45] to hear him confuse the Tuskegee Airmen with the Tuskegee Syphilis Study and then say “Lateenex” don’t want to get vaccinated, because they’re afraid they’ll be deported. “People have memories. People have long memories.” Except for you, Joe. Yours is shot to hell. Also, you’re a racist.

NATURAL IMMUNITY: We’ve known for ages that people who recover from a disease enjoy natural immunity. Nevertheless, Fauci has been pushing the unscientific idea that everybody should be vaccinated against COVID-19.

Now a new study by scientists at the Cleveland Clinic confirmed that the vaccine confers no additional benefit for those who have already had the novel coronavirus. And given the many concerns that the CDC refuses to acknowledge, it’s downright criminal to insist an immune individual take the vaccine.

I checked the CDC website and found no mention of natural immunity except here: “On January 12, 2021, CDC announced an Order requiring all air passengers arriving to the US from a foreign country to get tested no more than 3 days before their flight departs and to present the negative result or documentation of having recovered from COVID-19 to the airline before boarding the flight.”

PHILLIPINES: In a televised address, President Duterte told citizens, “You choose. Vaccine, or I will have you jailed.” And in a video, he says, “I’m telling you, those police jail cells are filthy and foul-smelling, police are lazy in cleaning. That is where you’ll be.”

According to the country’s laws, he doesn’t have the right to order arrests. But last year he threatened to jail anybody violating his lockdown and mask rules. By early July 2020, more than 76,000 people had been jailed.

He’s facing an uphill battle with the vaccines though. Vaccine hesitancy has been high among Filipinos since a 2017 mass vax program led to the deaths of several children. Officials estimate that only 2.1 million of the nation’s 110 million have submitted to the coronavirus vaccine.

SEIU: Color me surprised. This mega-union usually bows and kowtows to Democrats. But they have drawn a line in the COVID-19 vaccine sand saying they will fight efforts to force employees to submit to vaccination or lose their jobs.

“Whether there is a legal challenge that we can make, or whether it’s just a pure organizational challenge that we can make, we are not going to just give in,” George Gresham of SEIU Local 1199.

WALL STREET JOURNAL: On Tuesday, the WSJ published an op-ed written by two physicians who say politics — not science — is behind the failure of health officials and the media to fully inform the public about the potential risks associated with COVID vaccines.

Joseph A. Ladapo, M.D., Ph.D., associate professor of medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine, and Harvey A. Risch, M.D., Ph.D., professor of epidemiology at Yale School of Public Health wrote while “some scientists have raised concerns that the safety risks of Covid-19 vaccines have been underestimated … the politics of vaccination has relegated their concerns to the outskirts of scientific thinking, … Stigmatizing such concerns is bad for scientific integrity and could harm patients. …

“The implication is that the risks of a COVID-19 vaccine may outweigh the benefits for certain low-risk populations, such as children, young adults and people who have recovered from COVID-19. This is especially true in regions with low levels of community spread, since the likelihood of illness depends on exposure risk.

“And while you would never know it from listening to public health officials, not a single published study has demonstrated that patients with a prior infection benefit from COVID-19 vaccination. That this isn’t readily acknowledged by the CDC or Anthony Fauci is an indication of how deeply entangled pandemic politics is in science.”

According to the CDC, “COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective.”

Outside the hotel, faithful Catholics prayed the Rosary in reparation for the scandalous clergy group.

As I watched the clips of the meeting, I was struck by the scarcity (or possibly total lack) of black shirts with Roman collars on members of the AUSCP. I attended a meeting of priests once; every single one of them wore clerical garb.

WHO: Somebody must’ve been offended, because the clear, straightforward recommendation – “Children should not be vaccinated for the moment.” – has been replaced with this mess:

“Children and adolescents tend to have milder disease compared to adults, so unless they are part of a group at higher risk of severe COVID-19, it is less urgent to vaccinate them than older people, those with chronic health conditions and health workers.

“More evidence is needed on the use of the different COVID-19 vaccines in children to be able to make general recommendations on vaccinating children against COVID-19.

“WHO’s Strategic Advisory Group of Experts (SAGE) has concluded that the Pfizer/BionTech vaccine is suitable for use by people aged 12 years and above. Children aged between 12 and 15 who are at high risk may be offered this vaccine alongside other priority groups for vaccination.

“Vaccine trials for children are ongoing and WHO will update its recommendations when the evidence or epidemiological situation warrants a change in policy.”

Huh?

COVID-19 Update

A Chinese Communist Party military scientist filed a patent for a COVID-19 vaccine on February 24, 2020, just five weeks after China admitted there was human-to-human transmission of the virus.

Given the difficulty of creating a brand new vaccine, this raises serious questions about when the ChiComs started creating it, whether the virus itself was deliberately engineered as a bioweapon, and if release of the virus was deliberate.

The scientist, Zhou Yusen, had received funding from Fauci’s NIH and had worked alongside the scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. He died under mysterious circumstances in May, just three months after filing the patent.

Despite the fact that Zhou Yusen was an award-winning scientist at the PLA’s Laboratory of Infection and Immunity at the Beijing Institute of Microbiology and Epidemiology, there were no reports about his death. He was mentioned in a Chinese-media report in July and at the end of a December scientific paper. Both times, the word “deceased” appeared in brackets after his name. Maybe the ChiComs offed him to keep him quiet. Or maybe he died of COVID-19 and they covered it up to save face.

An American professor has recovered some archived material from an international database showing that Chinese Communist scientists deleted imperative data about the earliest confirmed patients of COVID-19. He believes they did it to help obscure their role in creating and releasing the pathogen.

A leaked 2009 State Department cable signed CLINTON shows that then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned all the embassies in the nations listed below* that the work being done at the Wuhan Institute of Virology could lead to “biological weapons proliferation.”

According to Jack Posobiec, “Since the outbreak of COVID19 and questions surrounding the Wuhan lab, Hillary Clinton has never spoken publicly of these concerns, but has attacked people bringing them up as racist, and blamed them for attacks on Asian-Americans, without evidence.”

ANTI-SEMITISM: Satan won a round in Philadelphia last week-end. After learning that anti-Semitic protesters intended to disrupt a celebration of immigrant-owned businesses, organizers told the Israelis to stay home.

The other vendors, the public, and the media all ignored this entirely disgusting display. “They came for the Jews, but I wasn’t Jewish.”

BIG BROTHER: Massachusetts state officials recently announced the launch of the “voluntary” MassNotify app, which monitors the spread of COVID-19 in the state. The only problem is the app appears to be installing itself on residents’ and their kids’ smartphones, unbeknownst to users, and without their consent. Since the app doesn’t appear in the general Google Play Store, users also have to navigate to a specific URL (play google URL below) to uninstall it.

EVIL: More than 500 pro-aborts KickStarted $23,492 to help get this picture book published. Apparently, it’s intended to explain “abortion care” (i.e., killing children) to children in an “age-appropriate” way.

The creators, Carly Manes and Emulsify, self-identify as genderqueer and work as abortion doulas. They say their goal in life is to create a society where “abortion is normalized as another outcome of pregnancy, just like miscarriage and birth.”

Cardinal Pritchard at Not The Bee wrote, “Imagine actually reading this to a kid, like: ‘Hey kid, I know you’re here and you’re alive, but we totally could’ve gotten an abortion and then we wouldn’t have to read you this book.‘”

FAT PHOBIA: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/MattWalshBlog/videos/336005927889680 [6:36] to hear Matt Walsh discuss an absurd TikTok video in which a bitchy, condescending, and oh yes, morbidly obese woman demands that everyone be sexually attracted to her. This is worth watching.

FAUXTUS: He ran for office promising not to raise taxes on anyone earning less than $400,000. He lied. According to the Tax Policy Center, his tax plan will raise the taxes on more than 60% of Americans by an average of $2,930 per year.

Hmmm … that’s almost like the exact opposite of what Trump did. Funny how that works.

And do not liken Democrat policies to what Robin Hood and his merry band did. Their fight was against the Sheriff of Nottingham, who taxed the poor to death to keep himself in power and his cronies in comfort.

FLORIDA: On Tuesday, Gov. DeSantis signed three new education laws.

Two of them require the Florida Department of Education to develop an integrated K-12 civic education curriculum that includes teaching students about citizens’ shared rights under the Constitution and Bill of Rights and to teach high school students about the evils of communism and totalitarian ideology.

The third requires state college and university students to pass both a civic literacy course and a civic literacy assessment in order to graduate. Prior to this bill, students were only required to do one or the other.

GEORGIA: We all know that the Nov. 3, 2020 and Jan. 5, 2021 ballot counts in Fulton County was as crooked as the Forest of Krzywy Las. The only question is why the DOJ and the FBI appear to be doing nothing whatsoever with the piles of evidence.

Speaking of piles, on June 16, 2021, evidence was presented at the public meeting of the Fulton County Commission showing that former Democrat gubernatorial candidate and State Rep Stacey Abrams, a highly partisan Democrat activist, controls the agency that provided Fulton County election workers.

HOUSTON: Houston Methodist Hospital has now fired every one of its employees who refused to get a COVID-19 vaccine or receive an exemption, including those who had recovered from the disease.

You’d think medical people would know better than anyone that the recovered are immune. Doesn’t this make them science deniers and their “vax or leave” mandate nothing more than an evil political power play?

PROJECT VERITAS: [21:05] – CBS 62 insider goes public to expose her former network’s forced COVID-19 vaccination rhetoric and bias. You can click below to chip in to help tide her and her family over their loss of income.

SCREW THE PEOPLE ACT: Republicans successfully used the filibuster to block passage of the Democrats’ heinous attempt to deprive states of their constitutional right to manage elections. The vote was 50-50. This is the third time the GOP filibustered a major Democratic initiative since Democrats regained the majority in January.

TPP: Israeli researchers on Monday said that they discovered a link between Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine and a rare blood disease called thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP).

TTP is a rare disorder that causes blood clots to form in small blood vessels in the body. They can cause serious medical problems if they restrict blood flow to organs such as the brain, kidneys, and heart.

A spokesperson notes the incidence is rare and folks should totes get vaxxed. Yeah, right. Just like the incidence of all the other disabling-to-lethal side effects are “rare” … unless you or a loved one happens to hit the vax crap lottery. Then, they’re not rare. They’re your life (or death) from now on.

VAX: I wanted to say that my response would be, “It is a violation of federal law for you to ask me that.”

But then I did some research and found out that’s not true. It’s only a violation of HIPAA for someone to ask my doctor or my health insurance company about my vax status.

However, I’m pretty sure I am under no obligation to answer anyone’s nosy questions.

CHOICE: A left-leaning New York Post author wrote a piece for Mother’s Day that celebrated her choice to become a mother at 25. The pro-abort backlash was swift and nasty.

Psaki: “Are you asking me if the President supports a woman’s right to choose? He does.”

INFANTICIDE: New Zealand’s government used COVID-19’s distractions to rush through a hugely unpopular abortion law. The most extreme in the world, it has made abortion legal, on demand, for any reason or for no reason, right up to birth. There are no legal restrictions on the methods used; in fact, doctors don’t even have to be involved. There is also no legal requirement for babies being aborted to receive pain relief or for babies born alive to receive any kind of medical or comfort care.

Following the law’s passage, a healthcare student reported being traumatized after witnessing the abortion of a healthy, 21-week-old fetus. Whoever did the procedure didn’t bother to kill the baby before delivery to spare it any suffering. Instead, the mother was just induced. IOW, they KNEW this tiny, helpless, perfectly formed human being would be born alive … then left struggling to breathe for two hours before finally passing away. “We wouldn’t do that to an animal. I was horrified,” said the healthcare student.

CATHOLIC: “The people who cheered the closing of churches and cancellation of Mass last year are now deeply concerned over Catholics’ access to the Sacraments.” – Catholic Vote

After the U.S. Bishops voted by an overwhelming majority in favor of drafting a teaching document on reception of the Eucharist, Congressman Ted Lieu, D-CA, called the bishops “partisan hypocrites.”

Lieu listed all the policy positions he promotes that contradict Catholic doctrine, then sneered, “I’m Catholic. Next time I go to Church, I dare you to deny me Communion.”

He’d be blessed if they did, because receiving Holy Eucharist unworthily is a serious sin.

CNN: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/MattWalshBlog/videos/497201191504805 [3:55] to listen to Matt Walsh talk about the hypocrisy and utter lack of self-awareness at CNN. I’m guessing Brian Stelter has not once reported on any of FAUXTUS’ duhmentia moments.

DISNEY: Disney is advertising a “Pride Celebration Spectacular” concert in which Kermit the Frog, men dressed up as women, and a host of Disney stars will catechize young children to accept sexual fetishes as normal.

FATHERHOOD: When I became too hypersensitive to chemicals to go to Mass, Dearest kept on taking our two young ‘uns. The church ladies oohed and aahed. When he decided the baby was old enough to go too, they slapped a halo on him.

When he told me about their reaction to him doing what moms do ALL THE TIME, he said it made him angry. “They don’t even remark on the women who bring their kids to church on their own. Making a big deal about me doing the exact same thing just speaks to the very low expectations they have for fathers.“

GEORGIA: CLICK https://rumble.com/vipwrl-audit-shows-multiple-problems-with-voting-in-ga.s-largest-county.html [1:31] to hear about an independent audit of mostly-Democrat Fulton County’s 2020 election. The article below outlines the irregularities the audit uncovered.

IRS: The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) denied a tax-free status to a Texas-Christian non-profit on the grounds that “Bible teachings are typically affiliated with the Republican party and candidates.”

That has not always been true. And the only reason it is true now is that the Democratic Party has chosen to make themselves into the Party of God’s Enemies. If proclaiming the Gospel loses us our tax-exempt status, then it’s time we pay taxes.

IT’S NEVER ENOUGH: A recently published article in the Oxford Journal of Legal Studies makes the case that we need to criminalize speciesist hate speech because, of course, it’s based in white racism. Tory MP Nigel Mills branded the proposals ‘utter woke nonsense’ and a ‘complete waste of time.’

MEDIA: Not the Bee calls this CNN headline “flaming hot garbage.”

“Biden makes Juneteenth a national holiday and what is our clown media’s take? THE RIGHTS OF BLACK AMERICANS ARE UNDER ASSAULT!!!!!!

“Hey CNN: The rights of black Americans are NOT under assault. You are race-baiting con men (sorry … con people ?) who want nothing more than for all of us normal people you see as peasants to hate each other.

“Anyone who reads this crap and takes it seriously needs to detach their eyeballs from their iPhone and go talk to some real people in the real world.”

TEXAS: Last month, Democrats opposed to an election overhaul bill and bail legislation staged a walk out in order to break quorum and block passage. Gov Abbott responded by vetoing the portion of the state budget bill that funds the salaries of lawmakers, staffers, and legislative agencies.

“Funding should not be provided for those who quit their job early, leaving their state with unfinished business and exposing taxpayers to higher costs for an additional legislative session.”

VAX: [2:51] – A CBS reporter has taken her fight against employer-mandated vaccination to Project Veritas. Buffalo Bills player Cole Beasley says he’ll quit football before he’ll take the jab.

BACK THE BLUE: CLICK https://twitter.com/LRpolice/status/1405241463919812609 [1:03] to see a cop save a life. After the incident, one of the cops said that the man’s lack of responsiveness showed he had made up his mind to jump and that immediate action by the officers was needed.

CANCEL CULTURE: Years ago, when Greece went bankrupt, I noted with horror that the government reached into private bank accounts and took what it wanted.

We’re not quite there yet, but the following is way too close for comfort. On Tuesday, two prominent conservatives – Lauren Witzke and Pete D’Abrosca – were canceled by Wells Fargo bank.

D’Abrosca had his personal savings account blocked, while Witzke had her entire account emptied out and closed down. The bank told them it was a “business decision” and that the bank reserves “the right to close an account at any time.”

I’m sorry but … does that include a “right” to take all her money?!?! Also, the bank claims she had lots of warning; she says it was a total surprise and that she was stranded, penniless and out of state.

“Use this as a warning and get your money out of Wells Fargo if you are a conservative,” Witzke says. “This is so evil.”

CATHOLIC: How dare those uppity Catholic bishops! Never mind that it is actually their JOB to teach and discipline their flocks.

Bonchie at Red State notes, “You don’t even have to be Catholic to see how dumb this is. Protestants have different beliefs about communion, but they still follow the Biblical decree to examine one’s self and to make sure that one is worthy of taking it. Paul is pretty clear that if you aren’t, you are sinning against the Body of Christ.”

CHICOMS: Dong Jingwei, China’s vice minister of state security, defected some time ago. The links below will give you a deep dive into the on-going saga. It’s more than I can digest.

FAUXTUS: Juneteenth commemorates June 19th, 1865, the day Union Soldiers landed at Galveston, Texas, with news that the Civil War was over and all American slaves were now free. It has been celebrated annually in various parts of the United States since 1866. This year, it became Juneteenth National Independence Day, a federal holiday.

CLICK https://twitter.com/TPostMillennial/status/1405888620959993856 [:11] to hear then-Candidate Joe, with his mask hanging off one ear, say, “He’s going down to Texas on Juneteenth, right? First major massacre, literally speaking, of the Black Wall Street. Right? Years ago.” If a Republican candidate had ever said something this stupid, it would’ve played on a loop on every news show morning and evening for weeks.

The Tulsa [Oklahoma] race massacre, which took place on May 31 and June 1, 1921, is considered one of the single worst incidents of racial violence in American history. Mobs of White residents, some of them deputized and given weapons by city officials, attacked Black residents and destroyed 35 square blocks of the wealthiest Black community in the United States. Aka, Tulsa race riot or the Black Wall Street massacre.

IT’S A CULT: [3:08] – “Woke up today, feeling okay, wow, this is new. Got the vaccine, and it’s been two weeks. There’s life in the streets.” Then, dancers bring out banners, including one huge one featuring a giant Fauci face. “Shout out to our favorite M.D, Anthony Fauci.”

IT’S NEVER ENOUGH: A lifelong progressive Democrat, proponent of third-wave feminism, and former Clinton adviser has been permanently banned from Twitter for … well, they didn’t tell her what for.

But she’s been accused elsewhere of spreading “conspiracy theories” and “anti-vaxx” info, which is a big no-no on Twitter. She says she isn’t “anti-vaxx”, but rather “pro-HIPAA, pro-Fourth Amendment, pro-Equality Act, pro-Nuremberg Codes; all of which make medical coercion illegal already. And I am pro-evidence-based reporting on public issues.”

NYC: CLICK https://twitter.com/DailyCaller/status/1405631491242143749 [:37] to see a young Black man assault an elderly White man who refused to hand over his cash.

SLAVERY: For a deeper look into the real history of slavery, read ‘Black Rednecks and White Liberals’ by Thomas Sowell [9:16].

STATES RIGHTS: FAUXTUS’ DOJ has filed legal documents arguing against state efforts to protect female athletes from having to compete against biologically male competitors and against state efforts to protect minors from transgender medical procedures they are not mature enough to choose.

TEXAS: On Tuesday, Gov. Abbott signed a bill into law that prohibits the government from forcing places of worship to close even during an apparent crisis.

GRAMMY NOTES: Buzz’s 5th grade class wasn’t allowed to have its normal graduation ceremony, so to recognize the hard work these kids did to get through elementary school, his school did a drive through ceremony to send them off to middle school.

Each car stopped at one end of loop where the kid’s name was announced, then every teacher cheered just for that kid as the parent(s) drove them along the loop while a 4-person fife and drum group played marching music. At the end of the loop, they received their certificates, a t-shirt, and a Middle School Survival Kit. Buzz also got achievement awards for Math, Art and Music.

It has become more common to capitalize the word Black in reference to African Americans.

For some, it is a long-overdue gesture of respect. For others (like me), it’s about consistency. Asian is capitalized. Native American is capitalized. Black has become a synonym for African American, People of Color, and the no-longer-allowed Negro, all capitalized. I think it’s just consistent to capitalize the B.

Doing this led me to also start capitalizing White, which is a synonym for Caucasian, aka, people of European descent or, as Michelle Malkin puts it, People of Pallor. But some of those who insist on capitalizing Black oppose capitalizing White on moral grounds.

Seriously, there’s a morality to capital letters? Who knew …

Supposedly, a capital W legitimizes toxic white supremacy. Or something. So what … toxic black supremacy is okay? ::smh::

Others claim that while lower case white is simply an apolitical description of a skin color, whereas capitalized White outrageously suggests that Caucasians share a culture, which according to these same people, we don’t. So harumph.

First off, white doesn’t describe the skin color of anyone. Even albinos are pale pink, because the redness of their blood shows through their melanin-free skin. I myself am a Person of Easily Sunburned Pallor whose entire genetic history can be traced to rarely sunny Ireland, England, and northern Germany. I can easily see my veins through my skin, but I’m not white.

As for that shared culture thing, gimme a break. People who share a culture are people who share a culture. Skin tone has little or nothing to do with it. Ben Carson and Barack Obama share a similar skin tone, but their up-bringing, life experiences, and choices are vastly different.

The article linked below makes the excellent point that “white culture is routinely cited to refer to white supremacy and white privilege as a shorthand for the cultural biases, prejudices and values that prop up systemic racism.”

But we’re not supposed to capitalize white, because we don’t share a culture. “Both ideas—that white culture is omnipresent and nonexistent—can’t be true.”

For the Love of Dogs

NOTE: Xylitol is extremely toxic to dogs. If your dog eats even a small amount of something containing xylitol, it is critical to get emergency veterinary care immediately, because even small amounts can cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), seizures, liver failure or even death.

If you love your pooch, you need to be aware that xylitol is showing up in more and more products, with the most commonly reported source of dog poisoning being sugar-free gum.

You need to READ THE LABELS on all products you bring into your home. The most at-risk things are labeled “light” or “sugar-free” or are intended for health care (e.g., toothpaste, mouthwash, cough syrup, etc.)

And do not be fooled by statements like this one from Nick’s Light Ice Cream site:

“Our sweeteners have sciencey sounding names, but they’re actually derived from things like raisins, monk fruit, birch trees and other stuff you’ve heard of!”

“Our sweeteners are all derived by plants!”

[Big whoop! A whole host of deadly poisons are made from PLANTS.]

Usually, xylitol is listed on ingredient labels as xylitol. However, some products (like Nick’s) are now listing it as birch sugar, maybe to make the product look more natural. But the fact is that birch sugar is xylitol. AND DOGS LOVE ICE CREAM!! I always let Daisey lick out the bowl when I’m done!!

Thank God for internet memes. (And Frankly the Nut who posted this one.)

P.S., for those who are hypersensitive to corn, the Runtastic article below notes that since it is expensive to make birch sugar from birch, most of what is labeled “birch sugar” is actually made from corn cobs.
