How children are spoofing Covid-19 tests with soft drinks
By Mark Lorch
5th July 2021
From The Conversation

  • Some children have found a devious method to get out of school – using cola to create false positive Covid tests. How does it work?

*** begin quote ***

Is there then a way to spot a fake positive test? The antibodies (like most proteins) are capable of refolding and regaining their function when they are returned to more favourable conditions. So I tried washing a test that had been dripped with cola with buffer solution, and sure enough the immobilised antibodies at the T-line regained normal function and released the gold particles, revealing the true negative result on the test.

Children, I applaud your ingenuity, but now that I’ve found a way to uncover your trickery I suggest you use your cunning to devise a set of experiments and test my hypothesis. Then we can publish your results in a peer-reviewed journal.

*** end quote ***

I find that a test so easy fooled MUST be considered unreliable.

Argh!

POLITICAL: “We, The Sheeple” are stupid and didn’t punish the crimes of the D’s

Warnock holds off challenge from Walker to win Georgia Senate runoff
By Mark Moore and
David Propper

*** begin quote ***

Democratic US Sen. Raphael Warnock of Georgia beat back a challenge from Republican former NFL star Herschel Walker to win Tuesday’s runoff election for Senate.

Warnock, 53, defeated his Republican rival, 60, to score a full six-year term after winning a special election in January 2021 — with Tuesday’s victory expanding the Dems’ control of the Senate to 51-49.  

With the race called Tuesday night by The Associated Press, Warnock held a slim 51.2% to 48.8% lead with 98% of the vote counted.

*** end quote ***

The voters seem to have spoken.

Nothing matters to them: inflation, Hunter Biden, rampant cheating in the past elections, crime, debt, deficit, unfunded mandates, cultural decline, mass illegal immigration, insider trading, corruption of Big Pharma, the endless wars … …

The D’s are rewarded for this.

Hence, I don’t want to hear anyone complain about the results.  You got what you voted for.

From now on, I’ll vote a straight Libertarian ticket; as if that matters in the Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee.

NEWJERSEY: Election problems in Mercer County

Wednesday, December 7, 2022

https://freedom-to-tinker.com/2022/12/01/why-the-voting-machines-failed-in-mercer-county/

Why the voting machines failed in Mercer County
Andrew Appel

*** begin quote ***

Conclusion. This was an embarrassing failure of our county election system. Voters were angry that the voting machines didn’t work, and had an uncomfortable feeling depositing the ballots in a slot where who-knows-what would happen to them. For over a decade I have been advocating for preprinted hand-marked paper ballots, counted by precinct-count optical scanners, so it was embarrassing for me too.  

But I still advocate for preprinted hand-marked ballots, because all of the alternatives are much, much worse: if a touchscreen ballot-marking device makes a mistake or is hacked, you might never know that the vote totals are wrong. With preprinted hand-marked paper ballots, even if there’s intentional computer hacking, those hand-marked paper ballots can be recounted. In Mercer County, the system worked. We had the paper ballots and we counted them, so we can be confident our results reflect the will of the voters. Even with these mistakes, this election was more secure and more trustworthy than previous elections that had no paper ballots.

Our election administrators have some work to do – and they know it – in improving communications with vendors, logic and accuracy testing, and chain of custody protocols. I feel confident that they’re on it.  

*** end quote ***

Couldn’t this all be avoided by uniform technology and processes state wide?

Or do the politicians and bureaucrats want it this way to cheat!

BIGOTRY: The national team captain Tyler Adams reply is worth readung

Tuesday, December 6, 2022

https://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/editorials/2022/11/29/tyler-adams-reply-to-iranian-reporter-is-a-victory-for-the-us-too/

Tyler Adams’ reply to Iranian reporter is a victory for the U.S., too

*** begin quote ***

While U.S. soccer fans are celebrating a victory in the politically charged World Cup match against Iran, all Americans should rejoice in national team captain Tyler Adams.

Adams’ classy answer to a pointed lecture from an Iranian reporter during a pre-match press conference signals the difference between a democracy and an authoritarian regime.

*** and ***

His response is worth reprinting at length.

“My apologies for the mispronunciation of your country. That being said, there’s discrimination everywhere you go,” said Adams, who also plays professional soccer in Europe. “One thing that I’ve learned, especially from living abroad in the past years and having to fit in in different cultures, is that in the U.S., we’re continuing to make progress every single day.”

Adams then mentioned his racial background. “I grew up in a white family with obviously an African American heritage and background as well, so I had a little bit of different cultures and I was very easily able to assimilate in different cultures,” he said. “Not everyone has that ease and the ability to do that. And obviously it takes the longest to understand. And through education, I think it’s super important — like you just educated me now on the pronunciation of your country.”

*** end quote ***

What classy guy.  He articulated what I feel.  The USA isn’t perfect by a long shot but we seem to be making progress everyday.

The German View of Patton
Henrik Bering on Fighting Patton: George S. Patton Jr. Through the Eyes of His Enemies by Harry Yeide
Wednesday, February 1, 2012 

https://www.hoover.org/research/german-view-patton

*** begin quote ***

On Patton’s performance in Lorraine, Ellis gets caustic:

“Here is the story of the Normandy campaign in a nutshell. Acute German shortages on the one hand, and on the other an Allied cornucopia which could provide an overwhelming level of firepower and a remorseless stream of replacements that could compensate for the grossest tactical bêtise. Add skilled public relations and a press hungry for heroes, and you had the circumstance so propitious that even Montgomery and Patton could seem like great commanders.”

*** end quote ***

Found this interesting since most of my old relatives thought highly of him,

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: The Gooferment has no role in “marriage”

Sunday, December 4, 2022

https://dailycaller.com/2022/11/27/liz-wheeler-twelve-republican-senators-betrayed-the-institution-of-marriage/

LIZ WHEELER: Twelve Republican Senators Betrayed The Institution Of Marriage
OPINION

*** begin quote ***

First, the bill amounts to a direct assault upon religious liberty. The anti-Christian, anti-Jewish, anti-Muslim, anti-religion, anti-God, secular mob will undoubtedly use this law to target people of faith. They will target non-profit organizations. They will target churches. They will target religious schools. You won’t be able to conduct business under the premise of the biblical definition of marriage or you will likely come under fire. As Rachel Bovard at the Conservative Partnership Institute notes, it even creates a cultural justification for market institutions such as banks to discriminate against people with traditional views, dovetailing effectively with the advent of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) social credit scores that can and are being utilized to reduce or eliminate one’s access to financial services based upon social values.

*** and ***

Third — and perhaps most importantly — the bill will inherently become a legal catch-all for the Democratic Party’s radical progressive agenda, which hinges upon the deliberate Marxist goal of destroying the nuclear family and ultimately deconstructing our society’s moral fiber. 

*** end quote ***

I fail to understand how the Gooferment — at any level — can “regulate” “marriage”.

We currently have partnership law.  Anyone can form a legal partnership.  

Where in the Constitution is there a Federal enumerated power to regulate “marriage”?

Just like SCOTUS said the Federal Gooferment has no role in aboirtion, so to it needs to declare the legislation as unconstitutional.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Biden proves “his labor-friendly” pedigree

Saturday, December 3, 2022

Joe Biden signs bill axing rail-worker sick days plea before royals meeting
By Steven Nelson
December 2, 2022 11:13am

*** begin quote ***

WASHINGTON — President Biden signed legislation Friday forcing railway unions to accept a labor agreement despite worker objections to a lack of paid sick days — hours before hobnobbing with visiting British royals.

Biden regularly calls himself the “most pro-union president” in history but asked Congress to intervene Monday, saying the US economy could not bear a railway shutdown.

*** end quote ***

Wonder where in the Constitution we find the Federal Gooferment’s power to force railway unions to accept a labor agreement?

I hope all the good Democratic unions are happy with their choice for President.

“Saying is a different thing from doing.” — Michel de Montaigne, a philosopher from the 1500s

“The Italians having a Proverb, ‘He that deceives me once, its his fault; but if twice, its my fault.’” — The Court and Character of King James by Anthony Weldon, 1651

Wonder how the Unions will vote next time?

GOVERNACIDE: EVERYONE at CDC and FDA in any salaried position should be FIRED immediately

Saturday, December 3, 2022

https://ravarora.substack.com/p/the-truth-about-vaccine-induced-myocarditis-b4d?utm_source=substack&utm_campaign=post_embed&utm_medium=email

The Tragic Story Of A 14-Year-Old Vaccine Myocarditis Victim — One Of Umpteen Males Misinformed By Health Authorities

  • Vaccine myocarditis is not trivial, mild, or “rare.” In young men, it’s a far greater risk than Covid hospitalization and death.

Rav Arora — Nov 15

*** begin quote ***

On May 12th of last year, school teacher Emily Jo took her 14-year-old son Aiden to get his first Pfizer vaccine dose. The public health authorities and her son’s pediatrician unanimously recommended vaccination, prompting her decision. She knew that mRNA shots caused some number of adverse events, like all vaccines, but was re-assured by the CDC and White House’s public recommendation.

“The talk amongst the mainstream medical community was that vaccine myocarditis was mild and that this was very rare,” she told me.

At that time, despite alarming heart inflammation reports from Israel, the CDC publicly claimed to have found no signal of myocarditis after “intentionally” investigating over 200 million administered doses.

*** and ***

Going beyond other study methods, Sharff found a number of vaccine myocarditis cases that weren’t explicitly labelled as such or were outside the parameters of the CDC’s vaccine safety search. After performing an exhaustive search of the Kaiser medical records, Sharff and colleagues found a 1 in 1,862 rate of myocarditis after the second dose in young men ages 18 to 24. For boys ages 12 to 17, the rate was 1 in 2,650. Countries with active surveillance monitoring of medical data (which suffer from far less under-reporting than the passive system in the U.S)—such as Hong Kong—show virtually identical figures. The risk of vaccine-induced myocarditis remains elevated for men up to the age of 40.

*** end quote ***

Gooferment is immoral, ineffective, and inefficient. As well as untrustworthy.

In this specific case, EVERYONE at CDC and FDA in any salaried position should be FIRED immediately.  The two agencies should be completely eliminated.

Big Pharma has the politicians and bureaucrats in its pockets,  They should be prohibited from any political contributions or advertising for say 50 years.

We could not possibly be any worse off.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Defense Department Records Reveal U.S. Funding of Anthrax Laboratory Activities in Ukraine

Friday, December 2, 2022

https://www.judicialwatch.org/dod-records-anthrax-lab/?utm_source=tvictory&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Tipsheet&utm_term=members

Judicial Watch: Defense Department Records Reveal U.S. Funding of Anthrax Laboratory Activities in Ukraine

  • The records were obtained in response to a February 28, 2022, Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Defense Threat Reduction Agency for records regarding the funding of Black & Veatch involving work of any manner with biosafety laboratories in the country of Ukraine.

*** begin quote ***

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today it received 345 pages of records from the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), a component of the U.S. Department of Defense, revealing that the United States funded anthrax laboratory activities in a Ukrainian biolab in 2018. Dozens of pages are completely redacted, and many others are heavily redacted. The records show over $11 million in funding for the Ukraine biolabs program in 2019.

*** end quote ***

I guess that Putin was correct about his charge of bio weapons labs in the Ukraine.

LIBERTARIAN: Libertarians don’t have to move to Somalia to demonstrate anarchy isn’t a terrible as the “experts” teach

Thursday, December 1, 2022

https://mailchi.mp/tomwoods/som?e=39307912ab

Tom Woods

*** begin quote ***

In the Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization in 2008, Professor Benjamin Powell and his colleagues wrote:

“This paper’s main contribution to the literature has been to compare Somalia’s living standards to those of 41 other sub-Saharan African countries both before and after the collapse of the national government. We find that Somalia’s living standards have generally improved and that they compare relatively favorably with many existing African states. Importantly, we find that Somali living standards have often improved, not just in absolute terms, but also relative to other African countries since the collapse of the Somali central government.”

*** end quote ***

Libertarians NEVER predict “paradise”; just a better country without an oppressive Gooferment.

Imagine that the USA returns to a Federal Gooferment funded by tariffs and excise taxes.

Eliminate whole unnecessary Gooferment agencies — BATF, ATF, DoE, DoEd, etc. etc.

Oh, and don’t forget the FED.  Put the USA back on the gold standard.  Repeal the 17th Amendment.

Get back to the original Constitution Republic that the Dead Old White Guys designed.
