‘vid zombies will soon be roaming the Earth!
Not sure what there are more of out on the interwebz; Stories about how we have all died because of OMGicron or, MUH INSURRECTION ANNIVERSARY!!!! They have both bored me to tears. Therefore, I will do as I often do…look around for other stupidity in the world!
- We’ll get right on that, Your Presidentness. I suspect 4 out 5 “The View” hosts would nod in agreement.
- “Femicide” Add that to your Newspeak, Edition 11.

“The participants were recruited by invitation and the data was then weighted so that the results are representative for the entire population.”

Except for prisons, there we toss a trans-male in with the females without blinking an eye.
Interesting, very good clinical results from using antiseptic mouthwash/nasal rinse twice daily as a preventative against COVID. The studies are using a dilute betadine solution, but gargles including cetylpyridinium chloride are also recommended.

Gilmoooooooooooooooore!
That was floated back in 2020 sometime too. I have been seeing a bunch of recycled articles, like the deer one, being tossed back into the media to scare the citizens.
As I was discussing with Warty in our demigods chat, betadine seems like overkill for an encapsulated virus. A hypertonic saline solution seems to do the trick just as well, but I get nasal irrigation with salt water doesn’t sound as sexy to the DIY health crowd.
Picking your boogers and eating em is healthier
Biz Markie knows – https://youtu.be/FjJvBarVRss
Having mistakenly irrigated with non-saline solutions on occasion, saline sounds much better.
I haven’t seen any numbers on that though.
There was series of British studies in the early days of the pandemic that looked into saline irrigation and had overwhelmingly positive results. Which is why you never heard about them. The study group was called, I shit you not, ELVIS. You can google it.
Thanks, I’ll look it up.

I saw a very annoying church member who is a very annoying health nut at Walgreen’s in the rx line. I was shocked to see her there and she was embarrassed to be there. This is a lady who annoyingly lectured people ad nauseam about health and wellness without medication. I was less tolerant of her annoyingness than everybody else.
I said, “Sooooo what’s up?”
“Well, my sinus infection won’t go away.”
I said, “I presume you have tried saline rinses.”
She flushed. “Oh, yes.”
“And now you’re here for antibiotics.”
“Well, yes.”
My work was done, but I gave her an out because I’m not a COMPLETE bitch. “My husband and another friend of mine try that and it never works completely. Don’t feel bad.”
I’m docking you one glib point for not being a complete bitch about it.
*hangs head in shame*
-1 extra point for feeling shame and not slapping Scruffy.
I do a daily nasal rinse and it really helps with my headaches, I still get them, but usually Goody’s will get rid of it.
Without the rinse, a few times a month the headache laughs at the Goody’s.
A neti pot should be as salty as tears. You could probably put some betadine in it, but straight betadine sounds like a very bad idea.
I believe it’s a 1% solution.
Snorting straight betadine would be a good way to get some color back into my nostrils though.
I’ve been putting a pinch of cetylpyridinium chloride mouthwash in my neti pot after I get back from the pharmacy. It makes a lot of foam though.
The Doctor/Internet guru promoting betadine suggest a .4 to .8 percent solution. There are a lot of instructables on how to dilute it down that idiots are going to fuck up.
It would be much easier to use Ponaris (https://www.ponaris.net/), which already is .5% iodine. Plus, astronauts used it!
So you are saying I should use Tang?
Poon-Tang, to be precise.
I buy the Neilmed rinse bottles and pre-measured packets of finely ground salt (for fast dissolving).
My ENT doc told me to fill with hot water just a bit shy of the fill line so that the solution would be a bit hypertonic, and use water as hot as I can stand.
Daily use was utterly required when I lived in Minnesota and in San Diego. The desert living has significantly improved my allergies and subsequently my sinus health. Ahhhh. Even my psoriasis has completely cleared up! Nevada, where have you been all my life?
OPP (Orleans Parrish Prison) has (since the 1980s, perhaps earlier) a wing they call the Nellie Jail. Alphabet people arrested in NOLA are put there to keep them from being abused by the other inmates. Who new sleepy old NOLA was so far ahead of the curve?
Down wit’ OPP? You know me!
Nah, this OPP. Not that OPP.
PA prisons had similar wings back in the 80s, which also might have been around earlier. Those wings also housed child molesters, HIV positive prisoners, mentally retarded prisoners, and geriatric prisoners.
In the same article.

Why Cloth Masks Might Not Be Enough as Omicron Spreads
The chart at the bottom is well worth pondering and trying to even guess how it was created.
Not only that, we have boatloads of evidence that they don’t work.
Note:
“Reduce the spread of virus particles” =/= “Reduce the spread of infection”
Except, perhaps, at very high levels of reduction of the spread of virus particles, levels not achievable in the general population with any mask.
Now it’s getting fun. I did some light sanding and staining in my shed with an N95 on for maybe 30 minutes over the weekend and couldn’t wait to rip the thing off. Wearing one for 8 hours a day would be pure torture.
Good. Maybe we can finally put an end to this stupidity.
That is good insight. I think if the majority of people were to be forced into an N95 mask for long periods and be hounded to not touch it, not pulling it down, etc, they would say screw it. Then again, that is wishful thinking.
That’s why I was always in favor of anal testing for covid.
I’ve seen people wearing N95s with the bottom strap cut, so they just kinda hang off the nose.
Yeah, I had to do N95 training for the phone company (asbestos) and there is no way some teachers are gonna wear them for a day, let alone an hour.
But, fuck ’em. They bought this with their union dues.
“France remains one of the European countries with the highest number of femicides per capita. ”

Whoops
https://thenationalpulse.com/2021/12/31/vaccinated-21-times-more-likely-to-get-omicron/
I think I will add that as an attachment to my religious accommodation…
That calculation of risk is wholly wrong. It depends on the vaccination level of the population being studied.
I think the current numbers are something along the order of -12% efficacy at three months for vaccination. So an increased risk, but not 21x. That’s some Pfizer-level math.
Let me enjoy my bias Scruffy…geesh
TW: Wiki.
Sure looks to me like an increased risk. As the Scruffster noted, the mathematical illiterates at the National Pulse botched the math.
The interesting question is, why does the vaccine make you more susceptible to the OMGicron variant?
Did they do age and health adjustment? Young and healthy are less likely to be vaxxed, for good reason. And, even if they get it, less likely to notice or care enough to get tested.
“Femicide” = new word for annoying popups and invasive not-letting-you-read-the-article websites.
Not sure what’s special about that terminology – pretty sure it’s the same format for most crimes – homicide, patricide, fratricide, etc.
Patricide and fratricide denote the relationship of the killer to the victim, whereas “femicide” is just a Newspeak propaganda term to confer a special status to female (and M2F?) murder victims based on the idea that all the murders of these women are a result of “systemic” bias or some sort of institutional sexism regardless of individual circumstances because they are first “women” (marginalized group identity) before they are individuals? Am I doing it right?
I was going to point that out and glad you did. The way I read it, it is an increase in deadly femme fatales.
So, Black Widow killings?
Yes
Maybe you need to update the fembrowser on your femputer?
Now do “misogynoir.”
Could there be a pattern to the “femicides”? Wouldn’t want to ruffle any feathers, but I hear there is a certain culture in which this sort of thing is considered to be acceptable. Former French colonies IIRC. Nah, that couldn’t be, I’ll turn myself in for reeducation forthwith.
That is why I wanted to read the article and then it wouldn’t let me.
Nothing some web based training and role playing can’t fix!

Why it’s just like reading the Algiers White Pages!

Ha! I didn’t see that. The person posting makes a lot of errors in the English translation (or it’s just Google Translate). I had to correct a lot of his/her errors. The original French is “Yves (quinquagénaire) “
Cultural appropriation is everywhere!
If Looney-Tunes has taught me anything, it’s that rape has a long and storied tradition in French culture.
It’s not easy for a skunk to get some, I’ll give Pepe a pass.
Have the femicides reached either the number or rates as androcides?
Or are they talking about diverting resources in order to help a privileged minority?
…look around for other stupidity in the world!
Never to be disappointed either.
Noir from Nous Toutes believes a sea change needs to happen in the way that French society thinks about gender-based violence.
“It must happen across media, education, the judiciary – everywhere. We need to start thinking of it as a systemic issue rather than an individual issue. In the media, for example, femicides are often described as a fait divers (sensationalist news) rather than as a systemic, patriarchal issue. Education is clearly a key part of the change that need to happen.”
How about better self defense laws and more guns in people’s (especially women’s) hands?
Yes, of course. Where shall we send the grant money?
Right. I forgot. Grifters gotta grift. I should have thought of the grifters. Wouldn’t want them to be left out.

“I do a daily nasal rinse and it really helps with my headaches”
When I was in my 30’s I was having recurring headaches, always on the same side and extremely painful. I thought maybe it was a sinus problem so I got a neti pot and using a saline rinse but the headaches didn’t stop. Eventually I discovered I was losing hearing on one side and got scheduled for an MRI. The MRI revealed an acoustic neuroma the size of a big egg (5 cm in the largest direction).
Turns out, sometimes it is a tumor.
Yikes! Hope you are better.
They did an MRI of my head and didn’t find anything.
I recall getting a sonogram for a slight heart murmur. The tech was having a hard time getting everything lined up. I told him “Well, I did go to law school, so its probably very small and very hard at this point.”
No! The heart in my chest!!
Team of nine black climbers attempt to scale Mount Everest to tackle the peak’s ‘intentional lack of access for black people’ and mountaineering’s ‘colonial history’
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10365049/Team-nine-black-climbers-attempt-scale-Mount-Everest-tackle-sports-colonial-history.html
“I have NOT seen the mountain top!”
“Intentional lack of access”?
Huh.
If the group was a bunch of quadriplegics protesting that Everest doesn’t have a mobility ramp, I could buy the “lack of access” argument.
I do pretty good. The tumor was removed in 2011. I have no hearing in my left ear and my balance is not 100%. At my doctor appointment after getting the results back from the MRI the doctor had me close my eyes and march in place. I must have looked quite wobbly because he told me that I’m lucky I have big feet. Actually he told me that after he looked at my MRI he first went to the front desk and asked the receptionists if I seemed to be having trouble walking.
Not meant to be a reply to this comment. Maybe I’m not doing all that good.
OFFS.
So Sherpa’s are colonialists? They seem to be climbing up and down that thing all the time. And getting paid handsomely to do so.
They’re Asian, so they’re really white.
So, you are saying everyone is snow blind?
Because of progress made in academia, black people are no longer terrified to be surrounded by so many white snowflakes. That is why this team will succeed where so many others have failed.
“Killed trying to save $2.75: Moment NYC subway fare dodger, 28, smashed his head and died while trying to jump barriers at Queens station”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10362995/NYC-man-28-killed-jumping-turnstile-Queens-station-cracking-head-floor.html
That actually sounds difficult even if he was deliberately trying to kill himself.
The NY Post actually has the video. Since it’s a picture of a death I’ll refrain from posting it.
He like tries at least a half dozen times to jump the barrier. His iPhone, naturally, makes it over, so he get more frantic trying to get over the barrier.
Finally catches as he goes over and the rest as they say is history.
Does ‘kill’ not imply agency in England?
Good catch. Obviously the MTA wanted him dead for fare evasion.
In England?
Similar things have happened before
The fare gate did him in. Remove them!

Not a flake here. Try again, winter.
We got some light flurries over here in the mid-morning, but it didn’t stick. Now it’s just brutally windy (I had to pull in a bunch of stuff from the back yard) and cold.
Yeah, it is that. Although I suspect our mid-west friends would laugh at us.
’tis correct.
Light dusting of snow here. Not even enough to cover the grass completely.
9+ inches here. Multiple trees down in the neighborhood with a couple across driveways. Fortunately we still have power unlike some nearby areas.
9+ inches here.
Nobody likes a braggart.
Placed an order for $700 of steel targets.
I kind of indulged myself. Currently we’ve been using knockdown 8″ circles and 10″ squares. I ordered hanging 8″ circles, but instead of squares I ordered 6″ x 11″ rectangles.
If questioned on it I’ll claim it’s to make things more challenging.
And now I’m rethinking my post heights.

I made it to Maine, if not for the rapid onset of dusk, I’d have hours left to wander.
I did get to the post office before they closed, probably the only day on my visit I’d have the chance at that. I wonder if the NY State Police will notice that I mailed my background check forms from three states away while claiming to live in new york.

No, for the job I already have, and have had since 2008.
You need a background check to work for the state?!
How come it doesn’t weed out all the criminals that pretend to work in the state house?
They may not have to go through one.
If you can’t bribe your way past that, you’re unqualified to be in the NYS leg.

It should.
I kept arguing with myself whether I should get good boots for the smithing class. I ended up buying a pair of Red Wings made in the USA because the snow boots I owned were both unsuited to the task, and didn’t actually fit my toes. (I’ve had those for years because I only wear them out of desperation). I was mostly arguing over the price tag, but I concluded that if they lasted me, it would be worth it. So far they fit better than my sneakers. Except up the ankle, because I’m not used to having material above the joint.
Of all the god damn cables I remembered to bring, a USB-C cable was not one of them.

So, poll: SP and I have been laid low. Coughing, sneezing, mild fever, weakness, so nasal drip. Is it severe colds? Seasonal flu? Omnicron?
No way we’re getting tested. We think Spud brought whatever-it-is as a gift.
Obviously its because you didn’t mask up.
Hope you all feel better.
A mask would have improved his looks.
I’m guessing mold spores, if you had the same kind of thaw we had here.
That’s the ‘vid.
Son had to be picked up early from school for vomiting. The nurse was able to find 1 ChiComPox test to give us. The schools are supposed to be giving out free tests on demand but my kids’ schools have too many white students for the NYC Office of Inclusion and Equity, so they haven’t been given any yet. The school the ex works at (in Jamaica, Queens) has boxes and boxes of them.
I didn’t think vomiting was part of the vid equation. That sounds like a flu to me.
Yeah. I think he caught what I’ve had since December 22nd.
Yes

Why against testing?
If it’s positive, a whole bunch of shit kicks in (reporting, contact tracing, possible shutting down our business). So as far as I’m concerned, it’s a normal flu.
OK
Why against testing? JFC QUIT PLAYING THEIR STUPID FUCKING GAME. QUIT BEING THOSE PEOPLE FFS! If you are sick stay home. If not go to work.
Speaking for myself, I would want to know if I had it. Everyone’s situation is different.
??
What is different? You deal with old folks? We all do. You deal with co-workers? We all do. No, holy shit I can not express enough how much I am over this shit. People need to say no to testing. fuck this. It means nothing. It spreads fear. The new Omicron whatever the fuck variant is a fucking cold. Get over it. Us normal people are fucking done! Grow up.
Good. You’re fucking over it. Real fucking happy for you ‘sloper. My mom, who is currently sedated and on a ventilator fighting for her life sure the FUCK IS NOT OVER IT. Why don’t you grow the fuck up.

What Sean said is right. You should direct your anger at those denying her theraputics.

Let’s revisit this article from April 1 (not April Fool’s related):
The Pandemic’s Wrongest Man
No orange juice at the grocery store today. Store-brand sliced ham was also missing, and there were a lot of bare shelves in the cookie aisle.
But no supply chain problems at all, no sirree.
NYT says no issues.
Why Christmas Gifts Are Arriving on Time This Year
But even they couldn’t really spin it. However, since Team Biden only reads the WP and NYT – she quoted in her daily press conference and was roundly ridiculed even by supporters.
The shelves are bare at Walmart. Since I have a kid who works there (different kid), I’m tempted to think they just don’t have enough stockers or we go at the wrong time. They have two shifts: 5am to 2pm and overnights, neither of which minors can do because of the time. Somewhat related, he’s busied himself with re-doing the entire front registers candy/chips/impulse items while he re-prices everything. Shit going up, yo.
Supply chain issues contribute for sure. I thought Walmart had stocking crews that went store to store. If there is a likely labor shortage, in order to hit each store corporate is instructing the stockers to follow ABC inventory as a guide and prioritizing what gets stocked in the limited man hours.
From what XX told me, our store has 2 shifts of stockers exclusive to that store. When XX worked there, she would often sling freight to load on pallets for the overnight stockers. She said Walmart will probably never go back to 24 hours because they need the overnight to stock. I can’t speak to other stores and probably shouldn’t be speaking for ours.
It’s probably a mix of not enough stock and not enough stockers.
the other day I was at the grocery store and thought I was seeing a shortage problem–one particular shelf was pretty much completely bare. Then I realized it was where the orange juice is supposed to be and it was late afternoon on New Year’s Eve.
I think the store I stopped at to find dinner had orange juice. They were short on paper products though.
Our Stop & Shop has no beef. Nothing. No ground, no steaks, no stew meat, no beef at all. We’ve been out for a week.
I haven’t been to a supermarket since the day before Kathy imposed her stupid latest muzzling.
I guess I’m not missing anything.
I’ve been several times, no one cared that I went unmasked.
Still no breakfast meats here except bacon. Canadian ham made its way back at least but sausage is rare.
New stupid CA law that will curtail bacon being sold in the state should improve supplies elsewhere around the country.
?
Bacon.
Speaking of bacon, I am hopping on the low-carb train tomorrow.
All aboard!
Marketing opportunity. I see Mex bacon being smuggled across the border.
I sent my husband out for pork chops. They were $5.39/lb at Walmart and $3.79/lb at HyVee. All well in stock.
Chez Mojeaux is well stocked for beef.
You should have a two year supply.
*checks freezer*
Yep.
Your voice-to-post app is malfunctioning.
I think you mean “you should have a two steer supply”
I knew a friend whose mom and dad were LDS and Jewish, respectively. They had a two-year supply of bacon.
A 2-yr supply of bacon would bankrupt me.
Wouldnt that be zero?
You need to lower your expectations, Ted.

Only 99.6% of Swiss people took a side in the gender wars? What happened to their famed neutrality?
Pretty optimistic piece from a crypto dude that I found through the RealClear site:
“ For nearly two years I had feared that we were headed into a new dark age of totalitarianism and repression, that Western leaders would aspire to implement China-style social credit systems and completely takeover the economy and day to day lives of its subjects.
Make no mistake, many establishment elites do want that. It’s just for awhile there it looked to me like they would succeed. But then my thinking started to shift around that. I realized that the entire transformational shift in the very nature of communications (Internet), power (networks) and then money (Bitcoin) meant the very architecture of society had changed so profoundly that this type of top-down, centralized authoritarianism I had feared so much was now untenable.”
https://bombthrower.com/articles/its-2022-and-the-pandemic-is-over/
Somebody tell China.
I mean, the fatal flaw of central planning (of any flavor) is central planners. Thank God these megalomaniacal control freaks are just as human and just as fallible as the rest of us.
In the end, we win, they lose. But damn if it isn’t going to hurt.
Ring-a-ding-ding. Covid is already pretty much over in any place that’s not a blue zone a la what I saw over the holidays. This is, God willing, the final nail in the coffin for the people who can still be convinced.
You know what we need to politicize more? Medical Examiners!
I’d be happy with more examinations of medical examiners and the use of “expert” witnesses in trials because there is a lot that could be reformed. But I doubt that these people are interested in any of that. Seems to me that the focus will be on making sure everyone who knows how to conduct an autopsy will understand that testifying the “wrong” way will be career suicide.
Listen, the medical examiners are here to serve the people. And the prosecutors represent the people. Therefore, it is the job of the medical examiners to say what the prosecutors (i.e. “the people”) want them to.

Disaster.
I’m all about safety.
3. Profit!
THIS
Yeah, that’s how I roll, but the GF likes sleeping in a sauna of a room.
Been through that battle.
Our battle ended with the onset of menopause. The ceiling fan is always medium to high.
The funny thing is that often, my husband has kicked off his covers. Like, dude. Why do you have the heater on if you’re too warm with the covers?
Earlier today I received a message from the range where I’m a member.
Then 1.5 hours later another message:
My work day was even more trying than I’d been dreading. Having the holidays fall on the weekend apparently induced brain damage in many of our supervisors, who somehow seemed to come up with every possible wrong way to put their employees’ time for “the Eves” and the holidays into the payroll system.
My only consolation is that this won’t be nearly so complicated for the next two years. Maybe the next time it comes up, we’ll have gone out of business.
Your credit union isn’t in financial trouble is it?
Going out of business in those few years sounds bad.
No, we’re doing very well, dammit. I just can’t stomach the thought of going through this holiday stuff again, but I won’t have retired by then, and I’d just as soon not be dead.
We’ll get right on that, Your Presidentness.
Ya, not shit. I am not big on the whole drone murder program we have going but if a mutherfucker needed droning…………
“BREAKING: Tommy Robinson’s Car FIREBOMBED After Release of Documentary Trailer on Grooming Gangs (VIDEO)
“These gangs are waging war on the survivors and anyone who is investigating them. Maybe this is the reason that mainstream journalists shy away from this problem. Maybe they’re all scared of these gangs. The problem is, we’re not scared. This won’t deter us. Nothing will deter us,” Robinson said.”

Goddamn. That’s intense. Good on him for having some fortitude, so long as these assholes don’t end up getting lucky and killing/maiming him.
$20 on false flag.
They’re headed straight for a race war. A no-shit race war.

How does a Michigan based criminal run for office in PA anyway?
The Libertarian Party of PA sent me a letter earlier last year, saying there was an uncontested Constable election in my area and suggesting I should run, but only once I met with the local LP leadership and they vetted me. When I went to vote in November, the election was still uncontested (no candidates listed at all).
I declined to run for the office because 1. Even if I were the only candidate, having an (L) after my name would probably ensure I lost to a write-in, and 2. I’m not a member of the LP, just registered as (L) in PA, which is not the same thing. I have no idea if anyone won that election. I even refrained from writing my own name in (which I often do), because I have met and worked with Constables before, and it takes too much time, and I already have a day job.
In honor of the HM sighting today:
https://www.peopleofwalmart.com/you-dont-say/
Driving on I-79 through West Virginia, I once saw a big o’l pickup truck with off road gear, lifted to heaven, with a professionally printed sign across the top of the windshield that read:
“CLEAN MUD PUSSY.”
I didn’t want to know what that meant.
No idea.
That’s very specific. If he could do that from the front, I suspect he’d be very popular with the ladies.
Perhaps he was indicating that interested parties should step around to the rear of the vehicle.
Possibly, it is Wal-mart after all. He might not got good grammar like me. He should have written, “I eat ass out of the rear doors.”
I’m on a split workday again this week and I missed a meeting. They recorded it and my boss sent it to me to listen to since it’s pertinent to my work. It’s like torture. I want to jump in the conversation so bad. The shit they’re talking about directly affects my work. Gaaahhhhhh
Have your own meeting in the second half of your split shift. Make sure to make some decisions and assign action items to the rest of the crew.
And I’m going to have to sign into my virtual work desktop on the work network, because the test website doesn’t have the authentications necessary to allow us to login from outside the network. More torture.
Bidenomics
The White House on Monday announced plans aimed at addressing rising prices for meat and poultry, including setting aside $1 billion for smaller producers.
The Biden administration unveiled its action plan to diversify and strengthen the meat-producing supply chain ahead of a scheduled virtual meeting between President Biden and independent farmers and ranchers.
The White House has previously pointed to a small number of conglomerates for driving up meat and poultry prices, which have been a major contributor to broader inflation in recent months.
——-
The Biden administration is dedicating $1 billion from the American Rescue Plan, a bill signed into law last year, specifically for the purpose of expanding independent meat processing capacity.
That includes $375 million in grants for independent meat producers, $275 million in additional financing available for processors, $100 million to address inspection costs for smaller processing plants and $100 million in training for workers in the meat and poultry industry.
The administration also announced new efforts to ensure transparency in cattle markets and to ensure there is reasonable levels of competition in the industry so that it is not controlled by just a few big conglomerates.
Profiteers. Price gougers. Monopolists.
Trust-Buster-in-Chief to the rescue!
I blame Big Chicken for all out problems.
We really are headed full steam into a command economy. And the damage will be perpetual until this shit stops.
Didn’t Biden promise to cut methane emissions, aka cow farts? Something tells me he doesn’t really care about meat prices. Of course his solution is to throw more taxpayer money at it.

Another voice crying in the wilderness
Former Vice President Mike Pence on Monday announced his advocacy group has filed an amicus brief urging the Supreme Court to reject the Biden administration’s attempt to require large businesses to mandate the COVID-19 vaccine for its workers or require frequent testing.
Pence filed the brief, which was shared with The Hill, through his political advocacy group Advancing American Freedom. In the document, Pence’s organization argues the Biden White House’s mandate is unconstitutional and would exceed previous examples of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) use of emergency authority.
“America is about freedom and the ability to make the best decision for your family or business, and Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate must be stopped in its tracks in order to preserve freedom, protect American livelihoods and businesses, and to safeguard our constitution,” Pence said in a statement.
——-
The brief from Pence’s group argues that the OSHA rule requiring vaccinations suggests “the Biden Administration is not truly seeking to mitigate workplace hazards through the [emergency temporary standard], but rather is attempting to use OSHA to accomplish an end that it has been unable to persuade Congress to support: the mandatory vaccination of the American public.”
The Biden White House has said it does not support making the COVID-19 vaccine mandatory for the public.

WTF? You could have fooled me.
Yeah, obvious lie is obvious.
They just want to make it mandatory for employers to require their employees to have it. Totally different.
It’s like how, in 1934, they knew they couldn’t ban machineguns because of the second amendment, so they just passed a law taxing the transfers at an exorbitant rate.
OK, so, last week I opened a bottle of wine that I made. All previous bottles from this batch tasted fine. This one tasted slightly oxidized and a little weird. I put it in the fridge with a vacuum stopper, figuring I could cook with it. This evening, I figured what the heck, I’ll sip some and see…it tastes fine. What was up last week?
Your viral load?
hmmmmm
So my son’s 4th-grade teacher died of COVID. She was young. I don’t know about comorbidities. She was “briefly hospitalized”. Another friend of mine (my age, 53) with no comorbidities died quickly from it too.
that sucks
how “young?” 20s, 30s?
https://www.gofundme.com/f/donations-for-the-duis-family
31
I think I can see a comorbidity from the photo. Still sad.
30s-ish if I had to guess. My son was in her first class straight out of school and that was 8 years ago. She was one of his favorites.
Oops. Brooks’d it.
Mindblowing
After implementing a coronavirus mandate for health care workers this fall, Rhode Island has now opened an option for COVID-positive health care workers to continue working if their facility is facing a staffing crisis.
“Also, facility administrators should be using their clinical judgment in making staffing decisions. For example, a facility may opt for a COVID-19 positive worker to only care for COVID-19 positive patients,” Joseph Wendelken, a spokesperson from the department of health, told the Providence Journal on Saturday.
What will Foochy and Osterholm say to that?
Here is a BBC article on countries with the highest femicide in Europe. You have to scroll down to get to the graph.
Pie has a lot to answer for.
Damned gypsies.
What shocks me are the “honor killings” in the US, Canada, and scandahoovia. They are generally ignored by the media, but by God, they are real.
Minneapolis is particularly precarious for young women born here as US citizens but living in ethnic “communities” that leftist leave as sacred enclaves. Dammit, those enclaves of cultural preservation are what allow horrors of backwards cultures to continue. FGM, arranged “marriages”, killing of gays and lesbians—just truly awful stuff. Cultural “relativism” can eat a bag of dicks.
Yes. If you come here, you’re going to have to move to the 21st century. Too bad.
Or that’s how it should be.
Did Trashy forsake us?
Mebbe we forsook him. ?
I hope this starts a new masking trend
