Most of you probably suffered through Substack’s downtime yesterday. Sadly for me, that was my time set aside for article writing this weekend, so I won’t have a full piece out until Monday or Tuesday at this point. (Spoiler alert: It’s about why freedom enriches us!) During the downtime, let’s talk about whatever you want! Obviously the Trump raid (not a raid!) is still a huge deal, and the fumbling and backpedaling by the FBI is hilarious to watch — or would be if it were in a movie.
A few months ago, I asked if you really thought the Bidens were the only family with a multi-national graft ring revolving around high-ranking government positions. Just in case there was any doubt left:
The CDC quietly changed its recommendations, and now vaccinated and unvaccinated people are treated exactly the same. Oh, and if you don’t have symptoms you don’t need to worry.
Man, I could have sworn that I heard people talking about that a long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long time ago! The bad cat has a great article about this issue.
This is almost unbeliavable, but……..government:
Also disquieting are the accounts of monitoring software breaching students’ after-school lives. One associate principal I spoke to for this story says his district would receive “Questionable Content” email alerts from Gaggle about pornographic photos and profanities from students’ text messages. But the students weren’t texting on their school-issued Chromebooks. When administrators investigated, they learned that while teens were home, they would charge their phones by connecting them to their laptops via USB cables. The teens would then proceed to have what they believed to be private conversations via text, in some cases exchanging nude photos with significant others—which the Gaggle software running on the Chromebook could detect.
After this was first reported by Wired, Gaggle said in a statement that it does not scan private texts on charging phones, but that a phone’s photos do get uploaded to a school’s account (and scanned) when the student plugs their phone into a school-issued laptop. The associate principal I spoke to says he advises students not to plug their personal devices into their school-issued laptops.
Or they could stop spying on children’s private pictures?
And finally, Biden’s considering a new press secretary, claiming he has the perfect outlook for the job:
Have a great weekend out there!
I want to comment on your Feb 15 post "Lying with Statistics.....Still".
From Pierre Kory's substack piece "Nursing Reports From The Front Lines Of The COVID Vaccine Crisis" dated Jun 13 - "Here is how I think they falsely suppressed the real rate of vaccinated patients entering U.S hospitals and dying:.." It was also posted by another source (sorry I don't recall, could be IM Doc from nakedcapitalism or The Ethical Skeptic) which explained further in detail the medical coding etc.
Health authorities clearly knew what was going on. They chose to deceive the public to push the (experimental) vaccines. This is unforgivable.
I liked the part this week where the IRS wanted to hire people and give them guns.
And by liked I meant fuck that shit.
