VOCABULARY: Never heard this one before “double-bun boulevard”

Employee Has Lunch Break At 12:40, It Renders The Boss Livid, Who Texts Them To Return

*** begin quote ***

The issue here lies in what the policy is and if the boss isn’t pulling these requirements out of double-bun boulevard. So, this Redditor suggested checking the policy on lunch breaks and getting to the bottom of it. OP, however, doubts there’s one to begin with.

Very funny and polite way of saying “he pulled it out of his AQQ” or made it up on the fly.

POLITICAL:Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is certainly has the UNIPARTY shaking in their boots

RFK Jr. Announces Bold Plan to Back Dollar With Bitcoin, End Bitcoin Taxes

Speaking at a Heal-the-Divide PAC event, Democratic Presidential Candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. outlined specific Bitcoin-focused policies that he would enact as president, including gradually backing the U.S. dollar with bitcoin and making bitcoin profits exempt from capital gains taxes.

 

 # – # – # – # – # 

Well RFKjr is certainly not a “libertarian”, but he is impressive on a lot of the issues I care about: WWW3 / Ukraine, dismantling the Deep State particularly the CIA, opposing the Central Bank Digital Currency, maybe ending the FED, and prosecuting the villains responsible for the COVID19 pandemic. He is certainly shaking up the UNIPARTY like DJT45 does and moving the Overton window of “allowable opinions”. Only Tucker Carlson has had a more dramatic impact on the 2024 Presidential election by “killing RINOs”.

 

Pass the popcorn,

This HAS to be good for Joe Sixpack and the rest of us.

HEROIC: Carnegie Medal is awarded to civilians who put their lives in danger in attempt to save another

All His Training Pays Off: Slackliner Wins Carnegie Medal for Ski Lift Rescue Over Cables

By Andy Corbley – Jul 14, 202

*** begin quote ***

Hard part done, the backpack was so far extended under the chairlift that Wilson couldn’t even reach it. That’s when a ski patrol tossed him a knife which he caught first time (wearing ski gloves? who knows) and cut the man free, who was rushed to the hospital and made a full recovery.

The Carnegie Medal is awarded to civilians who put their lives in danger in attempt to save another. Wilson was recently announced as the winner among other heroes, despite his rescue taking place 6 years ago.

*** end quote ***

Read some of the other stories of the “non-winners”.  I never heard of ANY of these heroic acts being reported in the “Lame Street Media”. 

Stunning.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Why Vaccines are Treated Differently

Why Vaccines are Treated Differently from Other Products
By Victor Fernandez 

*** begin quote ***

Attorney Aaron Siri of the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN) who has worked a great deal on vaccine-related issues like vaccine injury claims, vaccine exemptions and vaccine policy work, gave testimony to the Arizona State Senate on May 25th. His impressive two-hour presentation sought to answer the question: How can this system that people rely on fail us so badly? But to understand the failure is to understand the context within which the new vaccines arose. We need to understand what happened 37 years ago.

In 1986, Congress passed the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (HR5546). This is an historic act because it removed liability for childhood injury vaccines. Removing liability tends to alter the behavior of entities that benefit. Indeed, it turned out that pharmaceutical companies were no longer liable for injuries caused by their products. That has been the law since 1986. 

Attorney Siri says that he knows of no other product that has that kind of immunity. Not planes nor drugs. But since 1986, big pharma has not had any market force check of any significance. “Think of all the products out there that warrant safety precautions, and the one you give immunity to is the one you give to babies. Think about that.”

*** end quote ***

STUNNING!

Time to repeal that law and hold Big Pharma accountable for its products.

Argh!

Europe doesn’t allow advertising.

We should NOT allow doctors to profit from Big Pharma “bribes”.

The system is corrupt; time to address it. 

In the meanwhile, question authority!

POLITICAL: Maybe the right little L libertarian could slip in?

Democrats freaking out about potential third-party presidential spoiler

Commentary By Editorial Board – The Washington Times – Friday, July 14, 2023 

*** begin quote ***

No Labels insists there’s a path forward for a third-party candidate, citing a recently conducted poll where an independent candidate, on the ballot with Mr. Trump and Mr. Biden, starts the race with 21% support. The group insists it would be able to increase that base into a winning margin and not be a spoiler.

No Labels says its polling shows the public is open to a third-party candidate. According to an NBC News poll last month, 44% of registered voters say they are willing to consider supporting a third-party or independent presidential candidate if Messrs. Biden and Trump are the two major-party nominees in 2024.

No Labels is already on the ballot in five states, and hopes to get on all 50.

*** end quote ***

Perhaps this might be the year, if the D’s split by RFKjr and others, and, the R’s split by the “never trumpets”, then the Libertarian Party which has ballot access in all 50 states just might “win”.   If by “winning”, that it hands the Electoral College and throws the race into the House where each State gets ONE vote.

Pass the popcorn, it should be a hoot!

HEALTH: “The Covid-19 mass vaccination program violated all principles of Science and the Hippocratic Oath….”

Saturday, July 15, 2023

BOOM! Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche delivers one of his best here “The Covid-19 mass vaccination program violated all principles of Science and the Hippocratic Oath….”

  • Full disclosure he is a friend and someone I greatly admire; he has been sidelined by the Freedom Fighter media, interviewed & sidelined for he knows more, knew more & they know he is correct!

Dr. Paul Alexander

Jul 15, 2023

  • Mass vaccination has to be considered the largest and most dangerous gain-of-function experiment ever conducted in the history of biology; this mass vaccination into the teeth of an ongoing pandemic was a catastrophic failure and the worse is yet to come. We severely disregarded the evolutionary capacity of the virus to adapt and we failed to approach this within the complex virus-population immunity response puzzle that it is, a delicate dance. Each pressuring the other and forcing change with selective pressure our greatest enemy. 

*** begin quote ***

I would therefore like to express my concerns regarding the infection-prevention measures and mass vaccination program recommended by the WHO during this pandemic, which I believe lack scientific rationale and should be considered a significant blunder in the history of medicine, public health, and vaccine science. 

*** end quote ***

In one fell swoop, the entire of society has been betrayed by the people most trusted  — doctors.

“I wouldn’t believe you, if your tongue came notarized.” … attributed to Judge Marilyn Milian, but may have an earlier history.

Now I don’t trust any “expert” about anything ever.

Maybe the service manager at my car dealership.  He’s never steered me wrong.

Argh!

Dangerous TikTok trends claim 4 lives in 6 months in Alabama: officials

By Katherine Donlevy July 8, 2023 11:44pm Updated

*** begin quote ***

At least four people — including a father — have died in recent months for giving in to a new and deadly TikTok trend, Alabama authorities said.

The thrill-seekers jumped or flipped off the backs of speeding boats, only to break their necks on the wake and drown, according to Cpt. Jim Dennis of the Childersburg Rescue Squad.

*** and ***

The high rate of speed of the boat combined with the still water make for a dangerous landing pad that feels similar to concrete.

​Seems like an important topic to discuss with all the young adults in your care. TikTok seems to be a font of bad ideas. Argh! Makes me sad to think of all the potential Darwin award winners. Argh! Argh!

POLITICAL: A mandatory retirement age for politicians and bureaucrats!

The blueprint is set to end Joe Biden’s shaky reign in the White House
By Michael Goodwin 
July 8, 2023

*** begin quote ***

Stein’s Law holds that “If something cannot go on forever, it will stop.” 

*** and ***

Meanwhile, Dems could have an open primary, with Calif. Gov. Gavin Newsom, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Sens. Amy Klobachur, Elizabeth Warren and Cory Booker, and Pete Buttigieg and other dreamers free to pick up where they left off in 2020. 

Even Sen. Bernie Sanders would probably try again and why not Hillary, too? 

It all sounds far-fetched — until you imagine a Trump-Biden rematch, with Biden hobbled by a terrible first term and both candidates accused of crimes. 

If Democrats stick with Biden under those circumstances, they’ll be inviting the second coming of Trump.

*** end quote ***

Sounds like we need to put a mandatory retirement age along with term limits amount some of the other changes need to cut the Gooferment down in size and intrusiveness.

At the very least repealing the Seventeenth Amendment would put the State Legislatures back in charge of Senators and eliminate “carpet bagging” individuals from buying seats to the big graft bonanza.

A mandatory retirement age tied to the Social Security “full benefit” retirement age might be a nice touch.

Then kill many if not all of the TLAs (i.e., three letter agencies).   If we do need a small Department of Agriculture to help the States coordinate, then they should reside in the State they are coordinating for but I bet the States could figure out how to do it faster, cheaper, and easier.

Argh!
