“Prepare gaze for narrowing!”
Seems like a good day to browse some tabloid sites… I figured on a US, Canadian, Brit and Swiss one (you may have to hit the translate function, sorry Blick is only in German). Enjoy the calm, well crafted stories!
- New York airport stranding goes about as well as you can imagine.
- Hey, Canadanians…this won’t matter until you either vote it, or force it.
- COVID! COVID! COVID!
- Normally I wouldn’t post a Swiss tabloid story about a couple of German cops getting shot, but this happened right near where I used to live.
I am catching up on scheduling the recent submissions – please know that we are grateful for them, and almost all will be seen over the course of the next 2 weeks.
The comments are all yours.
Those years under the Swiss overpass must hold some fond memories.
It is much more dignified to go by the term “Landstreicher”…
If not for the Normans we could all be Landstreicher.
But he… he took the road less traveled by. And that has made all the difference.
Too local.

Worth watching. Occupational therapist talks about the billing fraud associated with COVID.
https://odysee.com/@TimTruth:b/hawaii-therapist-whistleblower:0
I miss living in a literate society, where people would actually write things down.
Yeah, I know.
That’s how I feel about all of the ATF reporting. It’s all Youtube.
^^^THIS!!!
Oh, so much so.
Agreed.
I believe it. When Mrs. TOK and I got COVID, she was in the ER and a doctor looked at her for about 3 minutes. As in, didn’t come close enough to touch her. We found through insurance that he billed around $500 and that apparently was paid out of some sort of COVID fund. Just another underpaid frontline healthcare hero.
This kind of graft causes inflation you know. Looking at all the municipal budgets fat with American Rescue Fund dollars too.
My friend just posted on FB a rundown of what our county did with that money. It was like what you’d expect if you gave a teenager a credit card.
Hell, Newsome explcitly bribed his way out of the recall with COVID-bucks. Similar graft up and down the government line up shouldn’t surprise anyone.
But relative to events in my lifetime this graft is extreme. It has to have all kinds of negative effects. You have to be an idiot to pretend all this money printing is of no significance. It’s all of the above. Spend spend spend spend spend.
Offer $1 from your pocket for votes and get thrown in prison. Offer $1T from taxpayers pockets for votes and get to throw people in prison.
We have helicopter money. We should spend it creating a new program that will require annual funding for eternity.
It’s amazing how irresponsible we are.
When the fiscal bomb goes off, it’s going to be epic.
You would not believe how much money they’re throwing at public school
studentsfunctionaries now in NYC. I saw a figure over $40K per student. Every blue city and state is running a budget surplus this year.Back in the 80’s that was four years at SUNY.
So schools are finally getting the extra money they want.
Huh. I’ll bet they’re still shit.
By all accounts they’re worse than ever.
Is it really fraud if the system is working as designed?
I believe that the idiots in DC actually thought their reimbursement system wasn’t going to create perverse outcomes when they passed the legislation.
It was DO SOMETHING.
And Trump was right at the front of it.
From what I can see, yes, Trump was part of it. But the March 2021 ARP funds are now just sloshing their way in. And then the infrastructure bill will come online in a year or so. And they still want to pass some of build back better.
You think raising rates will curb inflation?
Fuck you, cut spending.
Too fucking late.
Thelma and Louise tried pumping the brakes after they went over the cliff.
The doctor himself didn’t bill you anything. The bill comes from the physician staffing company that employs him and isn’t under his control.
Also, how much should you have been billed, in your opinion? Were you defrauded somehow? There are a lot of options for covid testing that are much less expensive than going to the ER.
We weren’t defrauded, I’m just pointing out insurance wouldn’t cover that much, and in fact, they denied it and that’s why we questioned it and found out that it would be covered by the COVID fund. I’m just giving this as another example of our government throwing cash around for COVID.
I understand. It sounds like the staffing company has figured out how to scam the system and of course the system is designed to be scammed. The whole thing is a racket, in my view.
Probably about 30% of the patients that the “scam” physician group are legally obligated to evaluate and treat result in zero reimbursement for these docs, who often face an uphill battle for the practice merely to break even. No ER patient in the US can be turned away for inability to pay, in fact you can’t even ask about insurance until after a patient has been screened. And many ERs are seeing over 100,000 patients per year. It sucks to see $500 on a bill, but the screwy insurance system often requires a $500 bill just to get insurers to pay their negotiated “percentage” of the charge, which can be below $100 for the visit when it’s all done.
States in New England have been among those hardest hit this winter as well, despite leading the nation in vaccination rate. Vermont leads the nation, having fully vaccinated 79 percent of its population as of Monday morning. The state experienced a large surge of cases in December when the vaccine-resistant Omicron variant first became entrenched in the country late last year.
Probably the fault of all those
kulaks, hoarders, and wreckersjab refusniks.Indiana is only 50% vaccinated, it’s probably due to us, just like all the guns.
What do you think those guns are loaded with? Virus, of course.
Little known fact: Indiana is a top exporter of blankets.
According to the Census Department coal is Virginia’s top export. Canada is Virginia’s top export destination. I did not see a breakout for what Canada is buying.
Are you only vaccinated on your mother’s side?
Whoopi, is that you?

They should recall him.

Meh. My sympathy is limited. They had the opportunity to replace him. They voted to keep him in power. I realize that that doesn’t represent all Californians. But, at some point, it’s incumbent on the sane to desert the sinking ship.
Unfortunately the true believers abandon ship too, and inflict themselves on neighboring states.
Taxes are so low here.

‘As we look forward to the spring, it’s important to continue practicing prevention measures that we know work – vaccinating, wearing a mask in public, indoor settings, staying home when you are sick, and washing your hands frequently.’
DIAF
If that’s what spring is going to be like, why would anyone look forward to it?
You can wear your light breezy spring mask instead of the heavy wool one.
lol, sadly
Two of those are correct.
Lessons in respiratory virus control.
https://www.theblaze.com/news/kiribati-covid-outbreak-pacific-protocols
TLDR: There is no such thing as control of a respiratory virus.
Fun fact, Kiribati is one of the six nation’s that is the closest nation to some point in the US.
Canada, Mexico, Russia, Cuba, and the Bahamas are the obvious five.
The United Kingdom (British Virgin Islands to United States Virgin Islands)?
50 states (and DC). I didn’t include territories, but yeah, that would bring in a bunch more.
No love for the Nation of Islam? Louis Farrakhan has a sad.

Breaking news: Truckers at Alberta-Montana border vote to fully blockade, rather than just slow roll; SWAT teams are gathering.
If SWAT ends up shooting one or more truckers, things could go sideways all over Canada very, very quickly. Ottawa had better be prepared for this.
Trudy is stupid enough to tell them to use force.
After calling them a “fringe” movement a few days ago, today he had the audacity to say that Canada is “disgusted” with the protests.
In years gone by, politicians would actually cry uncle and quit on occasion.
I see nobody doing that anymore.
Votes of no confidence a thing in Canada?
Sure, but the Controlled Opposition (with a few notable exceptions) has enough votes to continue to side with the Libs. A vote of No Confidence would be pointless.
Well, they do hold unacceptable opinions. The media whistled right past that comment of his.
Anyone know what the polls say in Canada? How disgusted actually are Canadians?
See DEG’s comment, below.
Alternatively, see R C Dean’s comment below.
Canadians who hold acceptable opinions fully support the Prime Minister.
Other so-called “Canadians” don’t count.
If only someone had linked that…

So just walk away and take the keys with you. You want them moved, move them yourself.
I expect Ottawa expects it to go like Melbourne if it comes down to it. Outside of Quebec and maybe Ontario — I’d be rather surprised if it did.

FedGov just cannot let go. I understand they backed themselves in a corner. So all implementation or discipline related to the Vax Mandate EO are on hold.
Their next step? Test only the unvaccinated.
Also crank down even harder on the military, just because they can.
So, the National Homebrew Convention will require proof of vaccination or negative COVID test for attendance.
Another vacation cancelled before it even got scheduled.
I was getting emails about how we were in dangerous territory with our blood supply. Made an appointment to donate at the library today and got turned away because I wouldnt mask up. Must not be that much of an emergency.
Thanks for letting me know about that. I saw it was in Pittsburgh this year, so was contemplating going.
Just wait til Fourscore mandates proof of vaccination or mandatory anal swabs at the Honey Harvest.
Proof of non-vaccination required. Bring your shot record, a nurse will check it for authenticity.
The latest poll, taken Jan. 27-28, found 54% want restrictions to be lifted compared to just 39% who wanted restrictions lifted when the same question was asked two weeks earlier.
I like this change.
Not sure I believe either poll, that’s a big swing for 2 weeks.
The protest worked!!
I hope so, but I’m always skeptical of good news.

If a restaurant near me is advertising “vegan chicken” should I throw a brick through their window, or get a homeless guy to do it?

Yes.
Throw a frozen chicken through the window

Poor bastard was trying to sell Vegas Chicken (a recipe right from the best kitchens on the Strip) and a stupid typo has doomed him.
This is why the stupid label that they want to slap on Rogan is dangerous
Jesus Christ can any one of these assholes give one example of actual misinformation? Just one.
He spoke ill of Pfizer, Fauci, and the Holy Vaccine what else do you possibly need?
Does anyone know of a single bit of “misinformation” he actually shared?
None. He facilitated a conversation with opposing ideas that are contrary to the sacred texts of Public Health.
I got into a Twitter spat with one of the assholes last night asking for one example. At first he backed off and said, well it’s not Rogan per se. It’s his guests. Then he took a quote from the Gupta interview, where Rogan said something like “You should get the virus then you have super immunity”. The full quote was something like “Maybe you should get the vaccine which protects you from serious illness, and the get the virus so you have super immunity”. It’s a silly idea, probably was said tongue-in-cheek, and then was taken out of context. The guy was also complaining that Rogan suggested that maybe young, healthy people shouldn’t get the vaccine, which to me seems like someone weighing pros and cons, but I guess that’s dangerous misinformation.
“I learned long ago never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.” -George Bernard Shaw
Maybe true, but some people need to be challenged. Otherwise they assume everyone just agrees with them. This Rogan thing is a point worth debating with them.
Anything you say that I disagree with is misinformation.
You should get the virus then you have super immunity
Funny, that’s exactly what the CDC says – people who have recovered and been vaxxed have the strongest immunity. Was the asshole saying the CDC is a source of misinformation?
They also say cloth masks do jack shit, but that still gets labeled misinformation.
I still haven’t seen any data that they base that claim on.
I doubt the veracity of it.
The asshole ignored the first part about being vaccinated. He was asserting that Rogan was saying people should just go get Covid.
I know it was just a video game — but damn if this quote doesn’t come to mind a lot lately from Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri
They damned well dream themselves our masters, that’s for sure.
–data links…
A grand game.
I wouldn’t worry about being labeled ‘stupid’ by someone who is that inarticulate.
Its not her I worry about, it is the rabid cultists that follow such people that will gleefully lock my ass up for what they deem to be wrong think according to them.
Hyperbole noted either last night or this morning, that the label was going to be placed on any podcast that discussed covid, regardless of point of view.
True…but….
The Ministry of Truth seems so honest and straight forward when they put it like that. Perhaps they really have turned a corner and fully intend to be honest from here on out. I’m so relieved.

Breaking News — The Archies and the 1910 Fruitgum Company have requested that Spotify pull their music from its platform.
Yoko Ono has threatened to put her music on Spotify if they don’t pull Rogan.

Yoko Ono’s music should be buried in Yucca Mountain.

It’s almost as if they are seeing if Neil Young will get a boost in his music sales first…
Barry Manilow has already denied it.
Everyone else can now let the rumor fly…it reminds people they aren’t dead or that they used to make music and then they can just deny it. You know there have to be publicity teams out there prepping the leaks.
I liked Grohl so much better back before he became a roided up mouthy jackass. Oh well, they haven’t made a good album since The Colour and the Shape anyway.

Someone on the Zoom the other day mentioned Russell Brand, now I’m addicted to his videos. Not sure if it’s a good or a bad thing that he seems like a whack job but I still agree with him.
I think Bill Mahr stated it best. It isn’t that his or any other leftist policies or stances changed, it is that the diehard left has gone off the deep end.
I guess I can relate, I used to vote Libertarian.
? ?
Dr. Jordan seems to rate RB as a first-class mind (or words to that effect) now that he’s sober.
It’s hard to take Maher seriously when he accuses other people of going off the deep end. I remember a segment he had back in 2017 or 2018 where he was sincerely hoping for a giant economic collapse so Trump wouldn’t get re-elected. Imagine in all sincerity hoping hundreds of millions of people suffer just to get rid of a politician that you don’t like. Politics breaks people’s brains.
Imagine in all sincerity hoping hundreds of millions of people suffer just to get rid of a politician that you don’t like.
Sounds like covid panic.
Brand is pretty good. He’s a little hippy dippy at times for my taste, but that’s ok. I don’t have to agree with someone 100% of the time.
That accent, though… Is there a transcript? Forgive my snobbery.
He hates the establishment first and foremost and says freedom is his highest priority. I’d say that’s pretty fertile common ground. He’s got several millions that listen to him too. It would be silly to not think of that as someone who is useful to have on your side.
I kind of like both the hippy dippy and the accent LOL
Eh, my cheeky chappie!

He’s sort of from the mold of Jimmy Dore, an honest and principled leftist and a good dude.
The truckers are doing nothing different than what Air Traffic Controllers do when we have a ‘shutdown’. Slow down traffic, grind the airways to a near halt and levy economic pain on business and the population. They know they hold a piece of economic power and are leveraging it. The difference is, the government wants ATC to do what they do and doesn’t want its subjects to do what they are doing now.
“Kamala Harris drove within several yards of ‘pipe bomb’ put outside the DNC on January 6, with the FBI STILL searching for a suspect after more than a year”

Are they really?
Is this like Pence was in the building and AOC were directly threatened?
Was there any sniper fire?
I’m guessing from the scare quotes there was no pipe bomb.
As in pipe but no bomb?
Probably a piece of paper with the words “PIPE BOMB” on it.
Shit, I’ve been closer to a pipe bomb than that. One that actually went off.
Turns out it was just a pod from the pneumatic tube system in the building that Bill Clinton and Anthony Weiner used to us to distribute dick pics to interns in the predigital age. To be fair, they have caused their fair share of explosions. HEYOOOOOH!

THE U of M grifts for $615K.
If I had any power in the organization that gave the yahoos $615K, I would be firing people all day, every day. Spending more than a half million dollars with no benefit to anyone at all is beyond my comprehension.
I should point out that there are a lot of progressive white people in Minneapolis who are so excited to spend money to legally have racial covenant language removed from the deeds of their houses.
stop racial covenants in property deeds
Utterly pointless. They are unenforcable. And I can think of no good way to remove them from the recorded documents where they might still be without mucking up the chain of title. For no reason.
Even the story I linked to admits that the covenants are no longer enforceable.
The yahoos I know who have done this are so proud of themselves. They believe that they are modern day Freedom Riders.
It is amazing that Bull Connors didn’t turn fire hoses or dogs on them when they went to their lawyers offices to have them amend a deed.

I’ve never flown JetBlue. I’m assuming it is an east coast version of Spirit Air?
I flew Spirit Air once and vowed to never do it again. The thing that broke me wasn’t the constant nickel and diming you with additional fees or the absolutely cheap ass cabins and lack of amenities. Nope, it was the fellow travelers.
The nice thing about flying reputable airlines is that most of the people have flown more than once or twice. So they know what they are doing. The low budget carriers are full of people who have no idea what to do. It really isn’t their fault, they are flying for the first time. But boy is it annoying to watch them wander around trying to get on a plane.
Jet Blue used to be my goto carrier. Loved them, but they dropped a ton of destinations out of Vegas cause of the vid.
I’ve never flown Spirit Air but I know people who did. JetBlue is not like Spirit at all. JetBlue never positioned itself as a low budget carrier. It didn’t have first class until they introduced Mint (better than most domestic first class products) on certain routes. But it always had better free entertainment than the competition and operated out of major airports unlike low budget airlines. It’s been the largest airline in Boston for years.
Yes, I think they were the first to give all passengers DirectTV at every seat?
I believe so. And then the first one to offer free internet at almost video-streaming quality.
Nope, it was the fellow travelers.
I can only imagine what they think of you. :-p
lol.
My old business traveling partner and I used to rate all the other travelers. Of course we were 4 star travelers. When we ran across some idiot – for example, the guy who gets to the end of the moving walkway and comes to a complete stop while he tries to figure out where to go next – we’d cluck and call him a “2”.
On one trip, my son came along for some reason. He thought it was the greatest thing following us around as we critiqued the skillz of the other travelers.
Look at Leona Helmsley over here.
JetBlue’s fine. I haven’t flown in a couple decades but yeah.
It seems so long ago, but you couldn’t throw a rock without hitting an American back then. Kusel? I knew that name sounded familiar. I have not been back to Germany since the kids were little. My brother lived in Rehweiler or Munchweiler or some other little berg near Ramstein. And now, my dreams of international travel have gone to shit. Fuck the leftist progtards. They ruined western civilization.
Unfortunately the true believers abandon ship too
And they’re the ones who should most be encouraged to stay in place. As well as the straight party loyalists. Seething. Was there anything in Newsom’s record that gave any rational person any reason to believe that he wouldn’t party with the “beautiful people” while insisting the plebes wear masks? Hell, anything in any of the leftist leadership? This is what they wanted. It’s not like he squeaked into avoiding the recall. He got nearly 62% of the vote. Seething? Clearly not seething enough to vote for Elder or any Republican. It’s similar to the Manhattan DA that New Yorkers have taken to whining about. He won with 68% of the vote. It wasn’t a mystery what he wanted to do.
They want to vote their virtue signal points? Okay. Go ahead. Now they’ve signaled their virtue and they got what they voted for. The least they can do is spare the rest of us their incessant b**ching p**sing and moaning about how unhappy they are.
Anybody who couldn’t see that Newsom is a weasel is willfully blind.
Instead of calling him a hypocrite, every alternative media source should be cheering that the end is here.
“It wasn’t a mystery what he wanted to do.”
Sure it was to the vast majority of voters who had no idea what he wanted to do, only that there was a D behind his name. And the bulk of the whiners are probably numbered in that 30+% that voted against him. When I was involved in the Tea Party, I found only a handful who admitted to voting for Obama and being ashamed they were fooled. Look, it’s a myth that any significant number of Americans follow politics to the extent that we do. For most, it is Team loyalty, which candidate seems “nice,” and who the other guys at work won’t make fun of me for supporting.
3% of voters approach politics from a belief framework (ideologue)
12% of voters approach politics from an understanding of the existence of a belief framework, but they don’t consistently apply that framework (near-ideologue)
45% of voters are TEAM players
22% of voters are SIVs or people who decide based on whether the the news was good or bad during a party’s reign.
17% voters have no comprehensible basis for their voting choices.
-Converse, 1964 (from a 1956 study)
Wanna bet that those numbers haven’t changed much in 70 years?
That 17% incomprehensible is probably greater today.

UK now ending vaccine requirements for health care workers.
I have been seeing some leftist memes lately that European countries are able to do this because they have defeated covid with high vaccination rates.
this is false.
It’s important people understand why countries like Denmark have lifted all covid restrictions. They are currently at record highs in cases and near record highs in deaths.
They are doing so because they are a small government with low corruption and their politicians can finally freely admit these covid restrictions are not useful.
The people trying to ban Joe Rogan are intentionally conflating being wrong with having a bias and lying.
Joe Rogan is sometimes wrong. His guests often have a bias. The corporate press almost always lies.
That is the bigger fight, isn’t it? The MSM could have opposing views on their shows but they are controlled opposition. People like Rogan don’t have gatekeepers (yet) to control that and that scares the ever-loving fuck out of them.
I’m kind of in the middle. I think when Fauci, Biden, etc. first said the vaccine would halt transmission they quite possibly believed it.
Within months data was coming in that severely challenged this narrative and they were instructed social media to censor it.
I think they were simply wrong but then were deliberately deceitful not to be called out for it as long as possible.
The reason why is had they started with the narrative that vaccines simply reduced deaths they’d still be able to cling to it. It would’ve been to their advantage.
Fauci and Biden probably did believe that the vaccine would halt transmission. I sure did. That’s my expectation from a vaccine, and it was probably theirs too. I’d be fine if they said, “We got that wrong, but there are still benefits.” Instead they go around accusing others of misinformation, changing definitions, and acting like they were right all along.
Maybe they knew that was nonsense but they wanted to maximize vaccine acceptance before the word got out and they just straight up lied. I’m not willing to cut them that slack until I see some kind of internal communications confirming that belief and we’ll never see those.
I sit in the middle. I think they invested so much in the narrative well ahead of time that they HAD to follow through, no matter the reality. You don’t just kick off shit like this only to shit can it when the vaccines start killing people. You see it through to the end:

Sadly, that bathroom is, in fact, better-looking and -equipped than the basement bathroom of the first house the Spousal Unit and I purchased.

I bet that smells amazing
Probably smells like hydrazine and kerosine.

With all the Stanky herb that will be smoked down there I don’t think the smell will be an issue for long.
