Why bother to "work"????-----Biden to announce biggest permanent boost to food stamp benefits - mlive.com

New Zealand locks down over single new case of coronavirus - CBS News
Wellington, New Zealand — New Zealand's government took drastic action Tuesday by putting the entire nation into a strict lockdown for at least three days after finding a single case of coronavirus infection in the community. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern invoked some of the stirring rhetoric she used early in the pandemic by urging the "team of 5 million" — New Zealand's population — to go hard and early in trying to eliminate the latest outbreak.
"We have seen what happens elsewhere if we fail to get on top of it," Ardern said. "We only get one chance."...Read all!

The scientific case against masks - Washington Times
The scientific case against masks - Washington Times:
His exact quote was: “I think people need to be reminded over and over that the experts are saying you have to wear masks… [For those of you shouting] ‘My freedom is being disturbed….’ Screw your freedom.”
Well, maybe we should do exactly what the Terminator implies and attend to what the real scientists have to say about all this. In other words, rather than spouting off on Instagram, let’s look at the longitudinal data presently available and ask some good questions. Questions like, Is there anything that demonstrates wearing masks is an efficacious strategy for mitigating the spread of Covid19? Is there any statistical proof that validates Mr. Schwarzenegger’s scold? Is he right in telling us to “screw our freedom” and, thereby, don a porous piece of paper or cloth to prove we are a science-believing and virtuous people?
Interestingly, when you take the time to read a bit, you quickly discover that this mask-shaming from America’s intelligentsia is – well, how should say this scientifically? – Stupid.

It is temporary.
They only attack their own when they do something that embarrasses them or puts their agenda at risk.
Biden just surrendered a country to a force that uses 1) strict religious dogma to 2) create a repressive, authoritarian and patriarchal state where women are reduced to chattel and sex slaves, 3) implement a bigoted society based on religious beliefs, 4) practice pedophilia, 5) ban education for women, 6) kill LGBTQ people (after they have sex with them, of course), and 7) one that doesn’t give a damn what pronouns you want to use.
