Dr. Misanthropic Humanitarian recommends Dr. Fauci can go play in the freeway Dwayne Haskins style. It appears Dr. Anthony Fauci is back doing the media rounds, just in time to urge everyone over age 50 to get a fourth COVID vaccine dose. While speaking to Joy Reid on Monday, the NIAID director was asked about an uptick in cases caused by an Omicron sub-variant just after Philadelphia announced it was bringing back forced masking. The city’s Public Health Department announced Monday that starting April 18 masks will be required in all indoor public spaces, including, schools, businesses, restaurants and government buildings. The department said the mask mandate is tied to the COVID response levels, adding they want to protect the most vulnerable residents.Nothing to see here. Move along. Quickly. Young girls, some as young as five years old, are developing genital ulcers due to Pfizer’s Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) mRNA vaccine. This is according to published peer-reviewed articles and data from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), the federal government’s program for collecting reports about adverse events related to vaccinations. (Related: Recently released Pfizer documents show mRNA COVID-19 vaccine can cause 1,291 different adverse events.) As Earth Day approaches, keep this handy to stymie your "Karen Like" friends. Earth day is coming up. It is a good time to remind the public what the predictions were 52 years ago On the first Earth Day, April 22, 1970, the world was warned that billions would die soon because of a disastrous ice age. The Earth had been cooling for thirty years, and it was about to get much worse. Crops would not survive the ice age, so the people couldn't be fed. The Earth was cooling even though CO2, the population, and fossil fuel consumption were rising rapidly, which we are told causes warming. Good to know our FBI is keeping us safe from harm such as the NY Subway shooter and Michigan kidnappers. The suspect in the Brooklyn subway shooting was on the FBI's terrorist radar in New Mexico until 2019, according to a report - and was cleared after 'multiple interviews'. The shooter has not yet been publicly identified and he remains on the loose hours after opening fire on a busy northbound N train as it approached 36th Street in Sunset Park. BROOKLYN SUBWAY SHOOTING - WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR Hasn't this Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, the only Senator in history to vote to convict a president of his own party during an impeachment trial, said recently that he is not sure if he will seek reelection to the upper chamber in 2024, possibly sharing the ballot with former President Donald Trump if he runs for president again. "I'm going to cross that bridge down the road," Romney told The Hill after voting to confirm liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson to the U.S. Supreme Court. "I haven't given a lot of attention yet."How anyone can vote against an appellate court nominee and then vote to confirm to SCOTUS is beyond me. Thanks for that. And thank you for the outline for Obamacare.

Nah, that can't be true! For even the most sycophantic supporters of the current White House, the writing has been on the wall about our mounting inflation crisis for months. But less tribal-minded liberals such as Larry Summers saw this coming before Joe Biden recklessly infused the economy with $1.9 trillion in extra spending at the beginning of his presidency. But for those who understand, contrary to the decadelong consensus of progressives that inflation is a monetary phenomenon, it's been years.

55 In November of 2019 my teenaged daughter was very sick. She had what at the time the doctors labeled a "mysterious virus." It was a respiratory illness. She now has POTS which is a cardiac syndrome.
... My daughter told me she has a friend whose mother has a job that takes her to Wuhan often. My daughter went to a Halloween party with her friend. She got sick November 3d. I think she might be patient zero in the US. Posted by: blaster at April 12, 2022 10:14 PM (9otr5) I know two people who had direct dealings with Chinese industry in Nov/Dec 2019 who came back with mysterious symptoms.

Dr. Fauci Recommends 4th COVID Shot For Those Over The Age Of 50
Fuck you Fauci Here a deal. During a visit with Doc last month he asked if I wanted a booster. {Phizerized last April} Nope. We talked and agreed +/- the downside of current Covid was +/- the same as common flu. He said "I bet you still have a high anti-body count, would you like to take a BT and see?" _Sure I like medical tests. I forget the numbers but they came up high. High enough to not warrant need of a booster. _this tale infers that Doc, by his practical experience, believed that the anti-bodies persist much longer than the "medical community" indicates.

5 1/2" of sloppy wet snow. Scraped and shoveled some, to dig the car out. It's mostly all melted. 20-50% chance the rest of this week. -------- Happy Easter! Or not, as the case may be. Last Saturday in Ohio the temperature didn't quite get down to freezing, but there were gusts of wind and sleet & snow showers, which we had to drive through to reach a family event. Reminded me of the description of the Battle of Towton, which was fought under similar weather conditions on Palm Sunday in 1461.

158 Boulevard Dark Truth Imperial Stout
Ladies and gentlemen, we present for your consideration this exotic, inky concoction, the almost magical creation of our modern day alchemists who have turned humble grains--barley, wheat, rye, and oats--into black, liquid gold. Layers of complex flavors slowly emerge from the glass: espresso, roasted fig, creme brulee. Belgian yeast provides a plum-like fruitiness, noble German hops reveal spicy, herbal notes, while the rich, velvety mouthfeel mellows to a dry, smoky finish. That's some beer!

I read a very persuasive article in the Israeli publication "Tablet."
The article posited the theory that the 2 fake federal agents trying to infiltrate the Secret Service were likely Iranian operatives, sent to the U.S. to facilitate a retaliatory killing for the U.S. taking out that IRCG Quds commander with a Hellfire missile a couple of years ago. (I'm too lazy to look up that deceased azalea's name, btw. The Iranian regime has been promising revenge for that targeted killing ever since it happened.)

185 Ladies and gentlemen, we present for your consideration this exotic, inky concoction, the almost magical creation of our modern day alchemists who have turned humble grains--barley, wheat, rye, and oats--into black, liquid gold. Layers of complex flavors slowly emerge from the glass: espresso, roasted fig, creme brulee. Belgian yeast provides a plum-like fruitiness, noble German hops reveal spicy, herbal notes, while the rich, velvety mouthfeel mellows to a dry, smoky finish.

I still miss the pre-2004 or times when you could identify cars and trucks at night by their headlights and taillights. I used to have so much fun doing that.
Posted by: Moron Robbie - The Black family survived slavery but not welfare at April 12, 2022 11:06 PM (bm04m) After working a series of gas station jockey jobs, plus my dad being a used car dealer, I could identify most rolling iron on the roads. Sometimes though, it required getting up close to a parked car to read the stamped date on the tail lights to tell the difference between adjacent model years. Nowadays, I'm just grateful that local LEOs are mostly driving Dodge Chargers, as their tail lights are quite distinctive and give me time to slow down when I spot them.

Welp. The wokeness hit a level of absurdity at my sons school that I did not think was possible. I know I have posted in day walker and night Walker threads about my son getting his life threatened at school(no I do not think the kid who threatened my son was gonna do anything)and how seemingly nothing was done.
Well today just confirms we live a clown world full of unserious dickheads. Long story short, I met with an administrator about the above situation with my son to express my displeasure about their handling, or lack thereof, of what went down. The woman I met was clearly a dyke as she had a fresher fade than I did. After going the rounds I learned a lot and learned the school system is a joke. Which was confirmed today. I get home, my wife tells me I am not gonna be happy with what she has to tell me. She hits me with: thathalfrican jr. had a presentation in social studies class by, dyke administrator, who came out as being a queer. Her presentation focused on the words a jokes she hears and says it makes her feel, get this, unsafe. Horde I nearly fucking lost it.

The Seattle train story is actually a non-story. The only train system Seattle has is the stupid train from SeaTac Airport to downtown, and when I was last up there in 2020 they were in the process of building spurs North of Seattle and East to Bellevue.
But nobody rides the thing even on a crowded day, and I doubt that fares have ever paid more than 5% of the cost of the system. It's simply a giant DemonRat money pit/graft machine and always will be. Posted by: Sharkman at April 12, 2022 11:37 PM (ET441) 304

For grins, I looked up Houston's light rail system.
It started operations in 2004 with a 7.5 mile line connecting downtown with the Medical Center. In its first year, it had the highest ridership per route mile and was ranked 9 of 16 in absolute ridership. Critics noted that many of those people previously had been riding buses that were cut, so the train took very few cars off the city's roads. Also, the line cost $324 million to construct - about $20,000 per rider - enough for Metro to have purchased all of them a nice midsize car instead. The 2025 Metro Solutions transit plan envisioned an 80-mile rail system in Houston with at least four additional rail lines to be built from 2004. Narrator: As of 2022, there are 3 lines totaling approximately 25 miles of light rail. Madness.

@Count de Monet, the line built from downtown to the Medical Center was put in place to be there for the Super Bowl at NRG. Suspiciously, it was also necessary to upgrade the water and sewer along the right of way. Prior to the light rail, there wasn't enough water and sewer to support development in Midtown and it would have been very expensive for the developers to lay it in. But when it all got paid for as part of the bonds for the light rail project, all of a sudden look at what they did to Midtown. It's a miracle!

Facts You Need to Know About Gene Simmons (KISS):
1) Before he decided to get into glam Rock, he was a HS history teacher in Brooklyn. 2) His parents (or perhaps just one of them) were Holocaust survivors. 3) I saw a Tom Snyder interview in which Snyder asked Simmons how many women he'd slept with?

Not the way I was trained." -Posted by: Miklos, attempting to adapt at April 13, 2022 01:53 AM (QzkSJ) It is First Etiquette to wipe the interior of the tap, so as to remove the Warehouse Phlegm from the dispenser. One performs this task by, first, facing the box toward the wiper. In some states, like Indiana, a dish brush may be used; but one's pinky and a Kleenex is apropos in states, such as Arkansas. One would then proceed to pouring the contents into a clear, glass container.
