Intelligence on Sick Staff at Wuhan Lab Fuels Debate on Covid-19 Origin
WASHINGTON—Three researchers from China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology became sick enough in November 2019 that they sought hospital care, according to a previously undisclosed U.S. intelligence report that could add weight to growing calls for a fuller probe of whether the Covid-19 virus may have escaped from the laboratory.
The details of the reporting go beyond a State Department fact sheet, issued during the final days of the Trump administration, which said that several researchers at the lab, a center for the study of coronaviruses and other pathogens, became sick in autumn 2019 “with symptoms consistent with both Covid-19 and common seasonal illness.”
When reporters asked to speak to the staff members, they were referred to the panda meat section of the Wuhan wet market.
Two-Time Loser and Sad Glass of Skim Milk Might Run for Texas Governor
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — There’s no road trip, no soul searching. No beard or blogging. But Beto O’Rourke is making a political life decision again.
Three years after becoming Democrats’ breakout star out of Texas, and a year removed from crashing back to Earth in a short-lived presidential run, O’Rourke is again weighing another campaign — this time for governor.
But now O’Rourke, who teased an announcement of his bid for the White House on the cover of Vanity Fair, is being quiet about it. He says he hasn’t ruled out anything, but isn’t saying much else. And Texas Democrats are itching for an answer.
“Impatience is not the word for it,” Texas Democratic Party chairman Gilberto Hinojosa said. “But anxious is.”

Missing man found dead inside Spanish dinosaur statue
Police in Catalonia are investigating the death of a man who is thought to have become trapped inside a large dinosaur statue while trying to retrieve his mobile phone.
Officers were called to the statue in Santa Coloma de Gramenet, a satellite town of Barcelona, after a man and his son noticed something inside the papier-mache stegosaurus on Saturday afternoon.
A spokeswoman for the regional police force, the Mossos d’Esquadra, said the death of the 39-year-old man was not being treated as suspicious.
“A father and son noticed that there was something inside and raised the alarm,” she said.

This doesn’t preclude him becoming inconvenient to the administration. The deep state just rid them of that troubling priest.

Taking away people’s ARs should be hella popular in Texas.
You’d think Texas Democrats would STFU about their gun grabbing plans, but apparently getting primaried for being insufficiently left-wing is a thing.
Didn’t O’Rourke come real close for Senate? He didn’t hide his anti-gun stance then. Perhaps Texas voters are moving away from ARs and the gun culture?
He came closer than he should have but not that close. Also, Cruz is polarizing as hell and is offputting for many.

I was thinking about this the other day. There is a lab in China where they study coronavirus, and in particular how to make them more virulent. Then a virulent coronavirus spreads and is traced to that very same city where that very same lab is. Out of all the places in the world it could have come from, it came from there. But we are supposed to believe it was naturally occurring, and the location was just a very, very large coincidence.
Of course you are supposed to believe that – that is how little the governing elite thinks of you. And then they wonder why we don’t trust them.
The only reason it has been in doubt is because Trump said that it might be the case.
Pretty much
The DNC, the media, and a significant portion of the GOP are willing to sell out the entire country in order to get the political result they want.

Bum fight
Professor and pundit Robert Reich sparred with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on Twitter on Sunday, accusing her of promoting hate after she called him a communist.
“Can we all agree that Marjorie Taylor Green must be expelled from Congress?” Reich, former President Clinton’s secretary of Labor and a veteran political operative who served in the administrations of Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford, said in an initial tweet.
Greene responded: “Don’t know you, but when I saw Berkley in your bio, I got it. Just put the hammer and sickle with it.”
After pointing out her last name is spelled with an “e” on the end, Greene told Reich: “Being a communists professor, you’ve never done the real hard work that builds the economy, you just teach ideas that will destroy it.”
Reich shot back at Greene, saying, “All you do is promote hate.”
She’ll knock him silly in the first round.
TARD FIGHT!
But Reich is still going to lose.
No denial from him about his communist leanings?
Also, busy how old is this guy? Thought you had to be under 30 to be dumb enough to use Twitter. Apologies to the glibs account holders.

Why is this cited as some sort of bad thing? Seriously, I’m only part English, but only a fool would say that America’s political traditions and values aren’t derived from the Anglo-Saxon tradition. And those traditions were incredibly beneficial for the country’s political development.
Why would you want to continue a model that has been successful? Time to raise the red flag on you.
She should pick on someone her own size.

She’s terrifying.

She is no Preston Brooks (who was a Democrat of course).
Not sure if serious, but I do find her terrifying.

There’s little evidence that either are particularly talented and yet they occupy some of the most privileged places in their respective societies that one can imagine. It clearly isn’t out of any merit. If you want evidence that the leftist claim of unfair privilege is real, one need look no further than these critics.
I feel nothing but pity for all of them.

Is that video of him falling off of a skateboard, faceplanting, and spinning around into a building real? I’ve tried searching for it on google and youtube several times and can’t ever seem to find it.
Huh, I figured that’d be easy to find but I couldn’t find it either. They’ve deep sixed it good but I’m sure it’s out there if you’re willing to really dig.
This one?
Holy shit. I forgot about that. That is some funny shit.
Okay, now open up youtube and type the exact title of this video into the search bar. Holy shit they buried this thing.
Put it in quotes and it’s the first video that pops up. I’m no search engine nerd but I’ve noticed this in other areas if one of the words/names in your search is a common term it drowns out the other terms unless you use the quotes.
That makes some sense. Although this video (or at least someone’s posting of it) should have a zillion views because it’s funny as hell.
Yeah, I didn’t look at that. 893 views? that can’t be right. My guess is they’ll claim that there is no way to tell if that’s Beto from the video (and honestly there isn’t, it’s blurry and could be anyone) so they remove all the videos claiming it is him. So every time someone re-uploads it it has very low views and thus doesn’t show up on searches.
Hmm, yeah you guys are right. I even went to a few archive sites, and – nothing.
Oh, good one trashy.
Time to play “What exactly is the outrage?” Today a story about how a man was tricked into running for Congress as a third party candidate.
OK, the answer is easy. The outrage is that the dirty tricksters were a) Republicans and b) alleged Trump supporters. Lots of outrage in the article about how these bad people are undermining the democratic process by running as 3rd party candidates. They don’t have any chance of winning and just skew the results.
At the very end of the article, after all that bloviating about not playing fair (after admitting nothing illegal was done), is this gem:
“Much to Kevin Shores surprise, he lost to primary opponent Rae Hart Anderson, who has run for office twice before as a Republican.”
So the guy who was tricked didn’t even get on the ballot. That sure was an effective dirty trick!

MTG’s reign of terror
CNN anchor John Berman called out Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) comparison of mask mandates to the Holocaust on his CNN morning show “New Day” on Monday.
“[Your words] don’t make me uncomfortable, they make me sick,” Berman said, referring to the lawmaker.
Greene has been criticized for Friday remarks comparing Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) House floor mask policy to Jews being forced to wear gold stars in Nazi Germany.
“You know, we can look back at a time in history when people were told to wear a gold star, and they were definitely treated like second-class citizens, so much so that they were put in trains and taken to gas chambers in Nazi Germany. And this is exactly the type of abuse that Nancy Pelosi is talking about,” Greene said.
Stick and stones may break my bones, but words will reduce me to a pathetic quivering mass of jello.
Why, you no longer even need words since silence is violence.
People realize that the wearing of gold stars was not the holocaust part right? I would call that the pre holocaust part.
Yeah, that sounds like someone moving a goal post halfway around the world.
Probably why she added the trains and gas chamber part.
But calling Republicans Nazis is perfectly ok.
They never said that. They said ‘worse than Nazis’. Keep in mind that ‘Nazi’ is shorthand for ‘National Socialist Worker’s Party of Germany’, an extreme right wing organization.
Didn’t Pelosi used to suck Jim Jones’ cock? Her and a dozen other CA pols? Everyone seems to have forgotten but I haven’t.
Hey, He Stopped Loving Her Today was a great song.
Indeed it was. I like to listen to it on my Dad’s (RIP) birthday. Last time I played it on speakers at work, a sad co-worker wandered off. Someone else told me, “Dude, his wife is cheating on him.” “Oh, that sucks.”, I said, “Just like my mom did to my dad.”

You just can’t win with these liars
The incinerator that these liars are complaining about is 100 yards from the Twins’ Target Field. It is just a quarter mile from the gentrified North Loop neighborhood which is a very wealthy neighborhood. It is also a quarter mile from downtown Minneapolis. It is more than a mile from the poor North Minneapolis neighborhood that the story tries to portray as victims of the burner.
If you didn’t know anything about the local geography you’d think this was an obvious case of evil capitalists trying to poison poor people. If you understand where the burner is, your first thought is “huh? What the fuck are they trying to pull here?”
Sorry, I should have pointed out that the incinerator in question burns trash and uses that to generate electricity. And it was built in 1989. You know the Energy Crisis Era.
Aren’t those pretty efficient after the massive capital infused construction that involves filtering nearly all the toxins out of the waste? I know there are some that do a pretty good job with plastic and rubber – just a heck of a time to construct initially.

The answer is that mask wearing is still OK and you can’t make fun of mask wearers for at least another six months.
I’m not going to quote anything from the article because it is so fucking nuts. It is an interview with a psychiatrist who is trying to help crazy people in group therapy cope with the new mask rules. Full of “need to show grace” to people who are too anxious to remove the mask.
I know it sounds harsh, but I’ve moved past the grace period. None of them gave a shit or showed any grace when mask mandates were being imposed. Fuck them now.
Fuck em. I wish bad things upon them. I wish worse things upon the politicians and media that broke them.
As long as they don’t try to force me to wear one I don’t give a damn.
This. Why would I become exactly what I’ve hated over the last year? I’m not gonna pay masked folks any mind, just like in the before times.
You are far too kind. These are a lot of the same assholes pushing for vaccine passports.
I agree but some of those people have a good reason to be afraid because of preexisting conditions and whatnot and it’s impossible to tell them apart.
I probably spent ten minutes total wearing a mask during the last yearish, or however long the hysteria was. The only time I wore one was when I had to into the small town pharmacy because they required it. That did not last long.
No one in Grant Parish has worn masks for a year now.
I was at an MLB game last night where masking was maybe 25%, if that. Seeing people’s faces is priceless. Even made me more forgiving when the asshole kids next to us got up and shuffled through every half inning.
People do stupid things when they are scared, that is why you cant let fear rule your life.
I have bad news. We are all going to die. Nothing can be done to stop it. Adding in fear or other emotions just makes things worse. Enjoy your life day to day and when it comes, pass gracefully….and do it on your feet.

She eventually got off but man, Canada is fucked. Don’t kill someone defending yourself there apparently.
Dont listen to this dude. Never lay your pistol down.

Not if you’re dating someone who looks like the dude she iced or even if he just lives in the neighborhood come to think of it.
Yeah, I noticed that….she dated that guy? What did she think was going to happen? She is an idiot.
Went back to him at least once, after he beat the shit out of her. Please, please don’t do that.
This. Hubby/boyfriend/friend beats you? Get the fuck out. Nobody deserves that. Even at it’s worst, piecing together a life alone is better than going back to that.
Hell, I wish I would’ve taken that advice in reverse when the college girlfriend started drunkenly hitting me. The fact that I wasn’t any more than superficially physically injured doesn’t make up for the fact that it was a flagrant raising of a whole lotta psychological red flags.
I’m actually a little shocked how often this happens. I know many dudes who have ended up with physically abusive chicks. I think it’s a pretty challenging thing for most guys in the situation – they can’t hurt you, but it’s clearly fucked up.
But yes, leave. It’s done.
Nobody deserves that.
Is that like saying there’s no reason?
Because, I disagree. I’m not saying you should do it, but….
The wife of a brother of a friend of mine started off getting punchy and moved on to getting stabby. Best to get out at the first sign of anything like that, that’s for sure.
Bam.
Anyone that raises a hand to you, get out.
I have been married for 25 years and neither one of us has so much as raised our voices much less a hand.
Your home is your refuge against a shitty world. Want someone to beat your ass or curse you? You can find that in five minutes from your front door.
Is that like saying there’s no reason?
I won’t go that far. I’ll just say that most situations where violence could be rationalized are better solved by meticulous documentation followed up by divorce papers.
moved on to getting stabby
I used to know a guy whose wife chased him around the outside of his small house with a large kitchen knife. He said, “It wasn’t until the second lap, I knew she was serious.”
My dad re-married a couple years after my parents divorced. His 2nd wife was physically abusive. Started with little smacks on the arm but escalated. He talked with a lawyer about moving out but was told that he could/would probably be charged with abandonment in the divorce. So he held out until she came at him with a pair of scissors. At that point the lawyer gave him the green light to go.
I had always thought that her having a son doing hard time when they met should have been a red flag.
She probably thought she could change him.
Ok. Do you know how painful it is to blow vodka out of your nose? DAMMIT.
She managed to change him alright.
Self defence is a crime in most countries and in lots of jurisdictions in the US. In other words, you dont count. Any ability or action that makes y ou look like someone who can stand up to the state makes you an undesirable. Goddamn, I hate those statist fuckers.
What a passel of assholes.
But, it’s a lesson to be learned. Even if you’re successful at defending yourself, the aftermath is gonna suck.
Yes it is but better than the alternative.
I’d nominate that as the official collective noun of any group of assholes.
It’s the oldest trick in the (noir) book – get away with murder by making it look like self-defense, the law has to look into it. How many times has Johnny Dollar foiled some femme fatale who had the local cops buffaloed? The system worked.
Canada has their system. We have ours. They can keep theirs.
Don’t kill someone defending yourself there apparently.
Nice Canadians eh, shouldn’t need to be doing that.
Now I kind of want a Forester.
You are becoming a lesbian?
I think I’m already there.
Yeah, I’m also sexually attracted to females exclusively.
It’s lesbians all the way down.
I dont know how I could pitch a slower one right over the plate.
I deleted my comment. It exceeded my personal stupidity threshold.
Oh, C’mon, we are all friends here.
If it was wittier, I’m sure I could remember it. Looks at empty glass of scotch. “It’s your fault.”
If it were twice as funny, you’d be a wit.
It’s difficult to be *that* stupid. :-p
I appreciate the easy ones sometimes.
Don’t we all? ?
See? I can throw those high, hanging curves, too!
You freaks are all right.
We’ve all appreciated an easy one at one time or another.

Ohhhh, baby, have we ever! /zones out while thinking about the last girlfriend before the Spousal Unit . . .

She lost me on this one.
Didnt some shitstain toss a bomb at NY Jews in the last couple of days?
Great, so that nonsense is coming here. I know how to fix that but I dont think anyone wants to hear it.
I went to visit my brother. He lost a dog of nearly 20 years so he is hesitant to get another. Instead he has adopted the local wildlife. A family of racoons comes every evening and gets fed and a couple of squirrels are regular visitors. We were sitting on his back porch talking and one of the squirrels scurried down his porch railing and hopped on his shoulder then started pawing his head begging for food. They are such a pain in the ass but damned if they arent cute as hell.

Apparently, also clever.
Yes they are. I dare you to try and keep them out of your bird feeder.

Real dragons are scary as hell and a lot of times they end up picking their teeth with your bones.
Constitutional Carry just passed the Texas legislature??
Gov Abbott said he’s gonna sign it, but I’m not gonna celebrate too hard until the body positive nonbinary blue hair starts singing.
