Man Flies Maskless with French Fry in Mouth for Over an Hour - Louder With Crowder

Man Flies Maskless with French Fry in Mouth for Over an Hour - Louder With Crowder: 

Masks suck. The science is questionable, and that was before "the science" recently changed. Patriots have been active in not complying all across America. One place it's not the best idea to do so is on airlines. Flights have yeeted three-year-olds with autism and other emotional disorders, even though "the science" says they don't have to wear masks. You raising your voice could put you up on the no-fly list. So you have to think of a workaround. Like, if "the science" says you can have your mask down while eating, fly with a single french fry in your mouth the entire time.

It's all about the money! And ONLY, THE MONEY!-----Magical seven year record wins the "hottest-ever" Bingo of 2021 - CFACT

Magical seven year record wins the "hottest-ever" Bingo of 2021 - CFACT

• Why does “seven years” suddenly matter?

“The past 7 years have been the hottest on record.. “by a clear margin,” scientists say”

• "Since when do we do climate analysis on seven year periods? — 
• Since climate scientists get rewarded for scaring taxpayers and “seven” is this years lucky number.
• 2021 wasn’t THE hottest year so they have to come up with something

...Scientifically, the climate interval that matters most is whatever it has to be to stretch out and sing “Bingo” — “The Met Bureau needs more money.”
...Naturally all Climate Bingo games are boosted by inexplicable adjustments, badly placed thermometers, shrinking thermometer screens, and the process of constantly rewriting history. 

If the incinerators near thermometers don’t do it, the homogenization will. 

They might be Australian tricks, but most Met Bureaus are the same.
….It also helps that most of history has been wiped out...
It’s been cooling for 6,000 years...Read all!

"Have you ever wondered what the normal utilization rates for a hospital actually are?"

Facebook  Dave Asprey
"Have you ever wondered what the normal utilization rates for a hospital actually are?
I didn't, so I asked a woman MD who used to run an emergency room.
She said that any hospital with less than an 85% utilization was a failing hospital because no one wanted to pay doctors and hospitals to stay open just in case someone needed them.

• Peak utilization during winter months was usually in the high 90s when the hospital system was working correctly.

But it sure makes for good headlines…

New York District Attorney Calls for End to Prosecuting Serious Crimes

New York District Attorney Calls for End to Prosecuting Serious Crimes: 

One of the crimes his office won’t prosecute is armed robberies of businesses. Suspects in those cases who make off with less than $1,000 in stolen goods will now be charged with the lesser crime of petty larceny, a misdemeanor.

Among the other crimes his office will no longer prosecute are resisting arrest, fare beating, prostitution, and trespassing. Basically, the only criminals who will now face serious jail time are murderers.

It gets worse.

Ya think America's enemies (China?) might love this???-----Bill Would Give U.S. Government ‘Kill Switch’ in All New Cars

Bill Would Give U.S. Government ‘Kill Switch’ in All New Cars

• Law would “prevent or limit motor vehicle operation,” give law enforcement access.

"A piece of legislation that was quietly included in the infrastructure bill signed by Biden would give the U.S. government access to a ‘kill switch’ linked to law enforcement in all new vehicles from 2026.
...“Perhaps the worst part about the kill switch is that it would have a backdoor, allowing the police and other law enforcement agencies access,” writes Ken Macon. 

• “The speculation is that a warrant would not be needed to access the kill switch.
•  The other problem with backdoors is that they are accessible to hackers.”...Read all!!

• Our great institutions are now instruments of political indoctrination

A joke about education in Soviet Russia:
– My wife has been going to cooking school for three years.
– She must really cook well by now!
– No, they’ve only reached the part about the Twentieth Communist Party Congress so far…
Maybe it’s not so much funny as telling; but what it is telling of is the hijacking of a non-political activity — cookery, but it may as well be biology or history or maths — for a political end.

...St Andrew’s, for instance, insists that students pass a “diversity” module in order to matriculate. Questions include: “Acknowledging your personal guilt is a useful starting point in overcoming unconscious bias. Do you agree or disagree?”
