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, and is held in the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin.

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.

His role was hard to replace due to the rise of the GOPe. They don't want another Rush.
So...who are the people that have sort of filled his role?
Crowder, Ace, Instapundit, Peterson (who kind of came out of nowhere)
Now...if he had given any of them the golden mic...would it have worked? I think it might have with Crowder...

After a train carrying toxic material derailed in Ohio this month, Right-wing commentators have been particularly critical of the response, using the crisis to sow distrust about government agencies and suggest that the damage could be irreparable.
When a Republican is guilty, that's the story.

I used to work at a call center doing debit card fraud servicing god Bank of America. It was fairly often I would talk to someone who would get flagged buying coffee but then an obviously fraudulent purchase well outside of their normal spending habits would just sail on through.
Basically the algorithms are bullshit. They just stop cards at random with the idea that statistically a few fraud transactions might be stopped in the process.

“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.”

2) This was a time when NASCAR jackets became a big trend with the urban crowd. I love NASCAR but never owned much apparel. These dudes are walking around in $250 Terry Labonte jackets with no clue who he was.

A meaningful life is not about material gain, power or fame; these are only of passing value. True meaning comes from an inner sense of peace and contentment, which in turn must be based on a sense of caring and love for others.

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.

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.

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.
