Portrait of a Young Girl is a small oil-on-oak panel painting by the Early Netherlandish painter Petrus Christus. It was completed towards the end of his life, between 1465 and 1470,[1][2] and is held in the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin. It marks a major stylistic advance in contemporary portraiture; the girl is set in an airy, three-dimensional, realistic setting,[3] and stares out at the viewer with a complicated expression that is reserved, yet intelligent and alert.[4].

I didn't see this mentioned in the morning report, but DU is freaking out over it:
BREAKING: A New IDIOTIC Idaho Bill seeks to charge anyone who administers an mRNA Vaccine with a Misdemeanor. The mRNA COVID vaccine has saved tens of thousands of lives. These people are literally terrorists. Is there an mRNA vaccine to cure conspiracy theorists yet? No, malignant. One is a Bundy supporter and John Bircher. This is done out of hate, and the idiots who voted for them should be ashamed - they knew they pieces of crap they were voting for. Also, of course, there's a huge thread on this: Rush Limbaugh died two years ago today and I'm still celebrating his passage to hell. My only wish is that he had built up and promoted a protégé to replace him towards the end. He knew it was coming, had time a resources...I though almost some kind of reality TV show "Replacing Rush" or "Raising Rush" would have been popular, gotten his message out, and kept his legacy and success going.

The FNM tells me COVID killed a million people in the US alone. So if the clot shot saved "tens of thousands of lives" it really didn't do much did it? As a comparison with the tetanus vaccine I think there are generally less then 10 tetanus deaths in the US a year, and I think they are all illegals that didn't get the vaccine.

190. I saw that story somewhere the other day. It s to help game wardens, park rangers and researchers who while in the field , come across examples of death and destruction due to environmental damage and climate change and develop mental stress and depression from it. Remember when people who became over stressed from their job , they went to private counselors of their own choosing without disclosing to their boss. That privacy, once considered essential has been dumped in favor of having your entire supervision structure know your issues.

Well it could be both seeing as the fake vax essentially infects you with the bioweapon.
If you get COVID you get spike proteins in your body that cause issues as they try to infect your cells. If you get the clot shot you get orders of magnitude MORE spike proteins in your body floating around causing issues while *not* removing themselves by infecting cells.

Former House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff has been accused of leaking classified information for years and now that he’s running for the U.S. Senate, several top figures are refusing to let people forget about it. Former CIA Director Mike Pompeo recently argued that Schiff should no longer have access to it.
“During my time as CIA director and secretary of state, I know that he leaked classified information that had been provided to him,” Pompeo said, noting that Schiff played a crucial role in the Trump-Russia investigation, which was plagued with leaks to the media for years. “It’s a complicated process, right? It’s difficult to pin down precisely what happened,” Pompeo said. “But I could tell you that when we provided information to him and to his staff, it ended up in places it shouldn’t have been with alarming regularity. We could see it. In the end, I decided I held back information from them as a result.” I would show up for a good old fashion hanging! Posted by: rhennigantx at February 17, 2023 10:26 AM (BRHaw) 231

The website ecoanxiety.com states, “Ecological grief refers to the feeling of sorrow and mourning at the current and projected future loss of our natural environment and the impacts of climate change. It implies a level of acceptance that such losses have become inevitable. By emphasising [sic] grief and sorrow, this term implies that what has gone can’t be recovered, and that we’re coming to terms with the loss.”
According to the Washington Examiner, the Department of the Interior’s U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is offering eco-grief training to employees who are struggling with climate and ecological issues. Posted by: SMOD at February 17, 2023 10:29 AM (RHGPo) 243

200. It is a legit question. I would think there has to be stats on that pre vax and after the vax was available because the fear mongering about getting Covid if you were not vaxxed Was used to push mandatory vaccines. Problem with that retro study would be the concurrent health problems in that population. I personally know of seven individuals who died with the alpha variant but also had diabetes, gross obesity, kidney issues, heart failure, etc. How do you factor that out?

Posted by: ... at February 17, 2023 10:26 AM (uAB4C) --------- Was discussing the idea of selfishness in college with a friend. I had by then realized that -- like something can be a blessing & curse, and that tools can be used for good & evil -- there was "rational selfishness" & "irrational selfishness." I pointed out that even the actions of Mother Theresa were in some way selfish as it gave herself meaning, purpose, and other rewards. He said "Have you ever read Ayn Rand?" I said "No, but one of my mother's favorite movies is 'The Fountainhead.'" He said "You'll like her, and what she calls it is 'self-interest' instead of the negative connotation associated with selfishness." The rest, as they say, is history ... and "thus beganeth the philosophical lessons" for me.

Not to be controversial but at the moment do we know it's not coof itself causing the increase in sudden deaths. I mean it *is* a designer bioweapon.
- Some small fraction of it probably is. The problem, as far as heart issues go, seems to be inflammation caused by concentrations of spike protein. Which are in the coof. Of course, the jabs flood your system with them for far longer than the coof does, so most of that will be jab-induced. And sudden death caused by those rubber band clots are going to all be jab-induced, as that seems to be a (side?) effect of the mRNA itself.

The Federal Department of Naming other Departments is pretty reliable. Posted by: Cat Ass Trophy, Set the Earth to fire and reshape it closer to the heart's desire Reminds me of an episode from one of screenwriter William Goldman's books. He was drafted in the 50s and ended up spending his whole term of service in a DC basement, doing office work. His main job was to come up with acronyms for US Army departments and procedures. Claims that his greatest moment was when he submitted and received approval for an acronym which was actually longer than the name/procedure that it was supposed to summarize.
