    Mark Meadows is on Steve Bannon. They’re GUTTING Fauci AND Birx, calling them flat out liars. Meadows pointed out that the admin put Air Force Two at Birx’s disposal. He also said that mid-April he met w/a lot of docs. Told them that if they thought masks worked he would recommend to POTUS a national mandate. The docs said they don’t help that much.

    “Ratings across all major sports were down in 2020, the result of a range of factors including time-shifted sports calendars and the presidential election, but it’s clear from this poll that politics and social justice had some impact on the ratings decline.”

    some impact???
    the ratings SHOULD have gone through the roof given that everyone was grounded.

    “…Worth noting is that Independents came in somewhere in the middle, with about 8.7 percent saying they watched more sports in the social justice era, and about 38.6 percent saying they watched less…..”

    Homeschooled 17-Year-Old Becomes World’s Youngest to Earn a Doctorate in Business Admin

    At just 17 years old, a Great Falls teen is celebrating an impressive feat—the completion of her doctoral studies in Business Administration.

    Describing herself as “so happy” and “glowing,” Dr. Kimberly Strable told KRTV: “I’m the third youngest in world history to ever get a doctorate in any subject, the youngest in all world history to ever get a doctorate in business, and the youngest in American history to get a doctorate in any field.”

    Kimberly presented her dissertation defense to a virtual academic panel on March 18, stepping away with a Doctorate in Business Administration with an emphasis in Global Leadership from California Intercontinental University.

    Kimberly, who also loves to quilt, ride horses, cook, and paint, has been ahead of the academic game for years. She graduated high school at the age of 12 and college at 15, reports KHQ Q6.

    If five or more people on a thread decided that they didn’t like someone for any reason, someone would announce that they’d reached “critical mass” and everyone would report the victim simultaneously. The algorithm would send the victim to Twitter Gulag immediately. With enough such suspensions the victim could get his account deleted.

    Jack Dorsey denied it until @XCitizen10 and @SemperBanU created some socks and proved it, documented it with screencaps, and it was posted on a website called The Trenches (now defunct). Dorsey was forced to admit that the algorithm was real.

    Do not try to find and enter The Trenches – it’s now compromised and dangerous, tries to get you to download a browser extension.

    So, went out today and saw no signs at my local Woodcraft demanding masking, nor did I see any at the Michaels hobby store (don’t ask) when I went in there as well. Lots of masked people walking around in Michaels, one of the clerks at Woodcraft was not wearing one. I think I may have missed a memo somewhere, but I’m taking this as a positive sign.

    Tried watching a certain trial happening in Minneapolis. It is fucking boring.

    Spent yesterday morning learning about what a dispatcher for the police/fire did and how a dispatcher was watching the arrest of George Floyd on CCTV street cameras. She was concerned that three police officers were holding the suspect on the ground for many minutes. ( over 8 minutes )

    She ( the dispatcher ) reported this fact to a police sergeant supervisor.

    Why did they have him on the ground restrained for so long?

    They were waiting for EMT to arrive. Watch the body cam videos. At about 2 minutes after they let Mr Floyd lay on the ground because he was claustrophobic in the back seat of a police vehicle one officer asked if EMT was on the way.

    If there is justice and justice prevails then unfortunately cities will burn this summer.

    Matt Gaetz Is Said to Be Investigated Over Possible Sexual Relationship With a Girl, 17

    An inquiry into the Florida congressman was opened in the final months of the Trump administration, people briefed on it said.

    is being investigated by the Justice Department over whether he had a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old and paid for her to travel with him, according to three people briefed on the matter.

    Investigators are examining whether Mr. Gaetz violated federal sex trafficking laws,
    .
    .
    the examination of Mr. Gaetz, 38, is part of a broader investigation into a political ally of his, a local official in Florida named Joel Greenberg, who was indicted last summer on an array of charges, including sex trafficking of a child and financially supporting people in exchange for sex, at least one of whom was an underage girl.

    But maybe this is just the shotgun approach to prying into every part of Gaetz’s life in finding any shadow that can be blown into a moral fear.

    I believe a month or so ago you said Gaetz was in trouble for going against Pelosi. One would have to have a pretty strong sense of public service to put up with this baloney.

    I see a new narrative in the making. Don’t know if you saw a horrific video of an older Asian woman being beaten on the street by a black male (and black security guards inside the bldg where it was being filmed did nothing).

    The new narrative is that the Asian attacks are being orchestrated to rile up anti black sentiment.

    In other news, Major, the Biden’s German Shephard, has bitten somebody again, and this time medical attention was required. This is an elderly dog in a new environment with people he doesn’t know and territory that is not clearly his. Take him back to Delaware where he isn’t going to be on defense all the time.

    And then, of course, somebody came up with this brilliant meme

    It’s not really “surgery” in the usual sense. They won’t be cutting anything. They use some sort of metal rod to open up the breathing passages, then suction out the bad stuff (which the surgeon tells me looks like pudding, apparently).

One of the people is so small it could be a child – or a small female?

    Oddly enough, this involves Bob Levinson, a CIA contractor who went into Iran w/o authorization and was captured over 20 yrs ago. His family thinks he’s dead, most people do. However, one of the people involved in this extortion is a guy named Bob Kent. Kent has set up a gofundme thing to rescue Levinson, and everybody thinks it’s a grift. Weird

    And if that wasn’t enough, here’s one more strange fact: Levinson was declared dead last year.

    The Securities and Exchange Commission has embarked on a major policy initiative to develop new rules to require publicly reporting companies to disclose more information about climate change. Whatever the merits of the initiative, the agency has pursued it in the wrong way.

    The recently designated acting chair of the SEC, Allison Herren Lee, appears to have acted alone to launch this rule making initiative. The chair did not secure a vote of the other commissioners, and the extent of consultation with them is not evident on the public record. This approach will add to concerns about unelected regulators who pursue their own personal policy goals without proper authorization from Congress.

    Shortly after taking office in January 2021, the new acting chair began to divert the resources of the SEC to integrate climate, environmental, and social considerations, usually called ESG, into the agency’s broader regulatory framework. The acting chair directed the division responsible for corporate disclosures “to enhance its focus on climate-related disclosure in public company filings.” Other divisions also shifted attention to climate and ESG-related areas.

    The most aggressive move, so far, was the unilateral commencement of a rule making process. On March 15, the acting chair issued a statement requesting comment from the public on how the SEC could best regulate climate change disclosures. She included a list of 15 areas with specific questions. The format corresponded to a notice of proposed rule making or a concept release, both of which require a commission vote, but the acting chair’s remarks did not refer to a vote or the views of the other commissioners.

    The great thing is to direct the malice to his immediate neighbours whom he meets every day and to thrust his benevolence out to the remote circumference, to people he does not know. The malice thus becomes wholly real and the benevolence largely imaginary.

    Apply this to the liberal state of mind: They hate their neighbors who are conservative and label them as fascists, deserving destruction but want to extend open arms to illegal immigrants whom most of them have never met nor encountered or to foreign entities all in the name of benevolence,

I returned to the kitchen and saw that the pot was empty – the coffee had turned off the coffee maker and transported itself into the thermos, all by itself. “Cool,” I thought. “One less thing I have to do.”
    Chemobrain does stuff like that. 😀
