    Hey CW, in your hospital is there a system called EPIC that has peoples’ vax info? Psaki said the gov’t won’t be requiring a ‘passport’ and there will be no federal database. BUT a comment at Instapundit says this system is live in every hospital and doc’s office.

    President Joe Biden will unveil his “long-awaited” executive actions on guns on Thursday, and it will reportedly include a ban on so-called “ghost guns” — makeshift and, in many cases, 3D-printed firearms.

    @ eaglesoars:

    what is a ghost gun?

    Another scary term invented by the left. It refers to guns that were completed by the owner, which have no serial numbers.

    Contrary to the quote above, they generally aren’t “makeshift,” though. They’re assembled from parts, with the exception of the lower receiver, which is generally the only part that carries a serial number.

    If you look up “80% lower” you’ll see what it’s about.

    Something interesting this evening. A guy stopped by working for Snyder, a contender for the R governor nomination in Virginia to collect signatures. We told him we’re leaving but he noted “Yeah, but the vote is in May and this time it’s a convention” which I’d completely forgotten.

    Anyhoo, long story short, he said at least 10 percent of the people who he has talked to told him they plan on leaving Virginia w/in a year. AND, our dog walker told me her sister in law & hubby who live in Roanoke told her over Easter they had decided to get out of the state.

    How about their ability to pilot an aircraft? I don’t want a “diverse” (i.e., specific plumbed or melanin-content personnel) cockpit crew, I want the best crew that can be had and that can properly deal with any pre-flight, in-flight, or post-flight emergency with professionalism and competence.

    from what I’ve seen on twitter, the prosecution is falling apart. I haven’t followed it closely well, not at all really, because I don’t care. The fallout, or at least part of it, is that the drugs sold on the street have fentanyl in them and the users are unaware. The person who gave him the drugs may be the person who killed him.

    ‘homicide’ legal definition in D.C. does NOT mean ‘illegal’. It just means that the person who killed her intended to do so or had a reasonable expectation that ‘dead’ would be the result of the action. ‘Homicide’ is not an automatic prosecutorial finding.

    Lawyers investigating the link between Seth Rich and the “Russia collusion” origins have not received any assistance from the Justice Department after learning they must destroy their evidence by April 28.

    Attorney Ty Clevenger, who’s been investigating Seth Rich’s connection to the FBI’s “Russia collusion” probe for years, urged Special Counsel John Durham in a letter to “take steps to secure the evidence.”

    “Yesterday I learned that the evidence is due to be destroyed not later than April 28, 2021 pursuant to a protective order,” Clevenger wrote to Durham.

    “I urge you again to take steps to secure the evidence and prevent its destruction, in no small part because I believe the public has a right to know what it reveals. I cannot discuss the exact nature of the evidence, however, because of the restrictions in the protective order.”

    Clevenger’s full letter is as follows:

    Mr. Durham,

    On October 12, 2020, I sent a letter to you and then-Attorney General William Barr about the need to preserve evidence related to the origins of the “Russian collusion” investigation. Neither you nor anyone else at the Department of Justice responded to the letter.

    Yesterday I learned that the evidence is due to be destroyed not later than April 28, 2021 pursuant to a protective order. I urge you again to take steps to secure the evidence and prevent its destruction, in no small part because I believe the public has a right to know what it reveals. I cannot discuss the exact nature of the evidence, however, because of the restrictions in the protective order.

    If another lawyer informed me about the evidence that was relevant to one of my cases, I cannot imagine sticking my head in the sand the way you have. Like President Trump, I’ve come to suspect that you and Mr. Barr were acting in bad faith, and that you appeased President Trump with the pretense of a legitimate investigation even as you were “running out the clock.” That said, please feel free to prove me wrong.

    Ty Clevenger

    So remember that ‘white evangelicals’ narrative I told you about the other day?

    Straight up…

    MSNBC’s Joy Reid hosted University of Pennsylvania professor Anthea Butler on The ReidOut, where both Reid and Butler slammed “White Evangelicals” who choose not to get the COVID-19 vaccine, be it for skepticism or religious concerns.

    Reid insisted that “White evangelical resistance” is a “public health problem” and that churches are “preaching against the vaccine.” Butler, a professor of Africana Studies who also served as a Catholics for Biden co-chair, concurred with Reid by insisting that countless people would die as a result of the decision not to vaccinate.

    Jobless Claims Increase To 744,000 As Economy Continues Slow Recovery

    The number of Americans filing new unemployment claims increased to 744,000 last week as the economy continues to slowly recover from the coronavirus pandemic, according to the Department of Labor.

    The Bureau of Labor and Statistics figure released Thursday represented an increase in the number of new jobless claims compared to the week ending March 27, when 728,000 new jobless claims were reported. That number was revised up from the 719,000 jobless claims initially reported last week.

    Oh dear. The Daily Mail managed to get a copy of Hunter’s hard drive. They had it examined

    After obtaining a copy of the hard drive, DailyMail.com commissioned top cyber forensics experts Maryman & Associates to analyze its data and determine whether the laptop’s contents were real.

    The firm’s founder, Brad Maryman, is a 29-year FBI veteran Supervisory Special Agent who served as an Information Security Officer and founded its first computer forensics lab.

    Maryman and his business partner Dr. Joseph Greenfield used the same forensic tools to pick apart the drive as federal and state law enforcement use in criminal investigations, and prepared a report for DailyMail.com.

    Hi, {{eagle}}, the word can be a noun, a verb or an adjective like “lieb, lieber, am liebsten”.

    “Liebe eagle” means “dear eagle” – but “ich liebe eagle” means “I love eagle” but the adjective “lieb, lieber, am liebsten” translates into rather, sometimes good/better, preferably, nice….

    This is probably the clearest background on the current unrest in Ireland I’ve found. You know, if Russia invaded France, the UK would probably say ‘Fuck ’em’. I’m not at all sure they’d even have to invade Germany.

    The immediate trigger for this week’s violence is the failure of the justice system to deal with the arrogant flouting by the Sinn Fein leadership of the Covid rules everyone else is expected to obey.

    Last June, Sinn Fein leaders, including Michelle O’Neill, the Deputy First Minister, joined 2,000 others to attend the funeral of the intimidating ex-convict, prison-escapee and IRA ‘Director of Intelligence’ Bobby Storey. They even held a public meeting along the way addressed by Gerry Adams.

    At the time, the limit for the number allowed to attend funerals was 30 people – which meant the republican party was spectacularly disregarding the restrictions they themselves set for the rest of society.

    Yet, last week, after nearly a year of deliberation, the Public Prosecution Service (PPS) decided not to recommend any prosecutions of the rulebreakers. And it was this decision that maddened the loyalist rioters.

    But while the PPS announcement may have been the trigger, the main driver of this anger is the fallout from Brexit.

    During Brexit negotiations, the EU, encouraged by the Irish government, cynically set out to weaponise Northern Ireland to scupper a deal or at the very least heavily punish the British.

    There was a perfectly feasible way through smart technology and a Trusted Trader scheme to have a virtually invisible border on the Irish/EU side.

    But Theresa May and her negotiating team caved in to the ludicrously exaggerated warnings about how a land border would lead to a resumption of violence and the death of the 1998 Good Friday Agreement.

    By the time Boris Johnson took over in December 2019, the pass had been sold. And, to get a Brexit deal that worked, he had to agree to an arrangement known as the Northern Ireland Protocol which impedes trade between Northern Ireland and Great Britain.

    Out of sheer spite, the EU has chosen to interpret the rules as inflexibly as possible and cause maximum disruption. And, to make it even worse, Sinn Fein have been crowing mendaciously about how this leads inexorably to a United Ireland.

    Opposition Wins Greenland Election After Running Against Rare Earths Mine

    Greenland’s left-wing environmentalist party, Inuit Ataqatigiit, won a victory in general elections on Tuesday after campaigning against the development of a contentious rare earths mine partly backed by China.

    The party, which had been in the opposition, won 37 percent of the vote over the longtime incumbents, the center-left Siumut party. The environmentalists will need to negotiate a coalition to form a government, but observers said their election win in Greenland, a semiautonomous territory of Denmark that sits on a rich vein of untapped uranium and rare earth minerals, signaled concerns from voters over the impact of mining.

    Archaeologists announced the discovery of a 3,500-year-old ‘lost golden city’ that was built by King Tutankhamun’s grandfather and may be the most significant find since the boy-pharaoh’s lavish tomb was unearthed nearly a century ago.

    The ancient pharaonic city, known as Aten, was constructed by King Amenhotep III, who ruled around 1390 BC, and was later used by King Tutankhamun.

    The settlement, discovered in Luxor, is the largest ancient city to be discovered in Egypt, and is complete with neighborhoods, streets and a security system.

    However, impact of mining would most likely include improved quality of life, better wages for residents, more business. You know, little things like that.

    I don’t know. On my father’s side, I am a coal miner’s grand daughter. And to some extent, daughter, as Dad spent time in the mines as did my uncles. But Greenland is a much smaller society and I don’t know what they see.

    But now you know why Trump wanted to buy the place. He sure as hell wasn’t going to set up a casino.

    You’re there. Next time I log in I’ll follow.
    Meanwhile, I don’t know what this is all about, so I have to share it. Because.

    Ha! Don’t bother. Since I wiped out my original twitter to hide from the Trump Accountability Project and set up the new account, I’ve posted maybe 10 times.

    And got 2 time outs. I’m in hiding and STILL they find me. For your own twitter safety don’t follow.

    I’m out. Nite.

    Crypto looks big to me. Ethereum is probably going to be a stable value transfer system in the economies in the third world. A stable world currency not attached to any countries central bank.

    It’s hard to keep up on it. But if there is a phone in every ones hand on the world. That is 5 billion people that are better served by crypto than central banking.

    I hope Etherium is the big one. Most of my crypto is tied to it. If it goes up so do they. If I can access my wallet. Had to change phone numbers today.
