Why US Roads Became So Dangerous and What to Do About It

Thanks in large part to in-car safety tech like airbags, antilock brakes, stability control and, more recently, automatic emergency braking, US traffic fatalities have generally been on a long decline since 1970. The 52,000 such deaths recorded 52 years ago shrank to 36,000 in 2019 even as the US population and vehicle miles driven both increased dramatically. But 2020 and 2021 saw the biggest spike in over 50 years to a total of almost 43,000 per year, turning the roadway fatality clock back to 2002. In short, something’s not working as well as it did.
“We need regulations related to vehicle design and street design,” says Yonah Freemark, senior research associate at the Urban Institute, a nonprofit think tank focused on urban mobility and equity. “Those two play a really important role in how likely people are to get killed in streets, especially pedestrians (and cyclists) that are struck by cars.”
Speed is a major factor in nearly a third of all roadway deaths. A solution that would likely raise the hackles of most US drivers is the increased use of still-rare automatic speed cameras that issue tickets autonomously and create an enforcement presence that no number of human officers can hope to replicate. But US drivers have been sufficiently vocal in their opposition to such enforcement tech that there are studies looking at the numerous cities that have removed their similar red-light cameras.
UK speed cameras above four lanes of traffic
Speed cameras are common in several countries outside the US, often using technology that calculates average speed of a given vehicle based on the time stamps when it passes two or more placeson the roadway.

Here’s an idea — speed bumps (i.e., sleeping policemen). Of course, that is unacceptable because the Gooferment doesn’t make any money out of them.
Why not?

Biden’s Dubious Tale Of 10-Year-Old Rape Victim Gets Dismantled
Via ZeroHedge
- Last week President Biden regurgitated a single-sourced claim that a 10-year-old girl was raped and forced to cross state lines to get an abortion.
*** begin quote ***
Kessler notes what journalist Megan Fox pointed out days ago – that “Under Ohio law, a physician, as a mandated reporter under Ohio Revised Code 2151.421, would be required to report any case of known or suspected physical, sexual or emotional abuse or neglect of a child.”
“As a spot check, we contacted child services agencies in some of Ohio’s most populous cities, including Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Dayton and Toledo. None of the officials we reached were aware of such a case in their areas.”
*** end quote ***
There is no honesty left in the USA political scene.
At the very least, there’s something for Congress, Illinois bureaucrats, and Oho bureaucrats to investigate!
If true, it’s horrible. If not, it’s a criminal fraud upon “We, The Sheeple”
Shame on all involved.

Now it comes out that it happened but no one reported it.

If you think Joe Biden’s bad, just imagine President Kamala …
By Piers Morgan
June 28, 2022
*** begin quote ***
Picture the scene:
It’s July 4, 2023, and President Kamala Harris is about to address the American people about Vladimir Putin’s decision to invade Poland.
She’s been leader of the free world for six months since Joe Biden, implementing the 25th Amendment, abruptly resigned on the grounds of physical and mental incapacity after the Democrats suffered the worst midterm election mauling in history, losing 120 House seats and eight Senate seats.
This beat President Grover Cleveland’s long-held ignominious 1892 record of “biggest midterm wipe-out ever” and meant the Republicans seized back full control of Congress with paralyzing, agenda-wrecking majorities.
(It was reported that Biden fell into a spontaneous catatonic state after seeing the sheer size of his failure to persuade Americans he was doing a good job, though it took White House aides several days to realize he wasn’t acting normally.)
President Harris’ tenure in office has bordered on the miraculous, in that she has managed to be even worse than her predecessor — something political experts didn’t think was possible.
In fact, her presidency has been a catalog of calamities, dominated by woke-ravaged lunacy.
Her first decision was to make freshperson Congressperson Megan Rapinoe her vice president, saying how delighted she was to appoint the first gay woman to such high office — only for Rapinoe to wreck the historic moment by issuing a furious statement saying she now identified as a non-binary bisexual womb-carrier, so had never been so offended and was quitting before she even started.

Well, since we know Slo Joe isn’t running things, who’s running the show now?
Maybe Kamala might be slightly better?

Ten Years Later: Over 53K Illegal Aliens Given DACA Despite Arrest Records Including for Murder, Rape, Kidnapping
John Binder — 17 Jun 20221
*** begin quote ***
Ten years ago, in 2012, former President Barack Obama created the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program via executive order that has allowed nearly 800,000 illegal aliens to evade arrest and deportation.
Standards for the Obama program were set so low that tens of thousands of illegal aliens with prior arrest records for crimes like murder, rape, and kidnapping were able to secure DACA status.
In 2018, then-President Trump’s administration released comprehensive data on DACA, previously hidden by the Obama administration, that revealed the extent to which the program had successfully helped shield criminal illegal aliens from arrest and deportation by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency.
From 2012 to 2018, about 53,792 illegal aliens were awarded DACA despite having prior arrest records. Meanwhile, nearly 8,000 illegal aliens awarded DACA were later arrested for crimes, the data shows.fe
*** end quote ***
This is more evidence that the Gooferment’s politicians and bureaucrats have a different agenda than “We, The Sheeple”. If they are not going to enforce the laws, then why do we bother to pretend.
At the every least DACA should not cover felons. And, probably not even those who make a “nuisance” of themselves.
I don’t think anyone opposes immigration of hard working people seeking a better life; everyone else should be shipped “home”.
Argh!

New Jersey Rolls Include Duplicate, Centenarian, and Unborn Voters
Fred Lucas / @FredLucasWH / June 07, 2022
*** begin quote ***
New Jersey resident Patrick DePaola first registered to vote in June 1927. A 50-year employee as a printer for The New York Times, he died at age 105 more than a decade ago, in December 2010.
But DePaola, who lived in Bayonne, remains listed as an “active” voter and is among 2,398 registered voters in New Jersey who appear to be 105 or older.
That’s according to a new report by the election watchdog group Public Interest Legal Foundation, which notes that the average life expectancy in New Jersey is just under 81.
But ages in the Garden State get even more unusual, the report indicates.
*** end quote ***
And both of the established “parties” are just fine with it.
Argh!
Maybe if we eliminate “voting” then we could get an honest count.
I’d like smaller subdivisions electing a representative. Then that rep could cast the appropriate number of votes. All building up to the 21 county reps voting for state wide offices.
Not to hard to imagine. Just impossible to get the oligarchy out.
Argh!

GOP Candidate’s STATE-LEVEL Electoral College Idea Could Help Rural Areas — and Kill Vote Fraud
The New American ^ | May 21, 2022 | Selwyn Duke
Posted on 5/23/2022, 12:17:44 PM by Ebenezer
*** begin quote ***
In 2019, the Democrat-controlled Colorado Senate joined a liberal-state pact designed to eliminate our nation’s Electoral College system. Now a Colorado gubernatorial candidate is, far from just mounting a defense against this, taking the offense:
He has proposed instituting an electoral college within his state.
It’s an idea that not only could help rural Centennial State counties, but also could virtually neutralize vote fraud’s effectiveness. The Washington Examiner reports on the story:
One candidate in Colorado’s gubernatorial election has called for eliminating its one-person, one-vote approach in favor of a state-level electoral college….
Greg Lopez, a Republican candidate for Colorado’s governor, has pitched the idea of using an electoral college-based approach for statewide political office, arguing the current system favors large cities at the expense of more rural counties.
*** end quote ***
The Dead Old White Guys hated “democracy”. They saw the French Revolution mob chopping off heads.
So this fellow seeks to have a similar construct to the Electoral College at the State level.
(I have no idea why the pundit class thinks that it’ll be unconstitutional. Since we have it at the Federal level.)
It would be interesting to try somewhere.
The Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee has 21 counties and the “rural” ones are always out-voted by the corrupt city Democratic machines. Imagine if each county got one vote tor governor regardless of the popular vote. Might change the election calculus?
And, while we are at it, let’s repeal the Seventeenth Amendment (direct election of senators). The old system was cheaper and gave the States their voice on unfunded mandates.
Argh!
Not like any new idea will succeed until secession begins in earnest.

(READ) Watchdog group files brief; tries to overturn sanctions on Sidney Powell, Trump lawyer who challenged 2020 election results
DATED: MARCH 19, 2022 BY SHARYL ATTKISSON
*** begin quote ***
“Courts sanctioning lawyers pursuing election law claims in the heat of an election is a dangerous game that could allow election corruption to go unchecked,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “The partisan retaliation and harassment of lawyers involved in litigating the 2020 election dispute is unprecedented and undermines the rule of law – and courts should not take part in it.”
*** end quote ***
How anyone can say that there was no election fraud in the 2020 election is delusional!
The simultaneous “pause” in four key state in the middle of the night and DJT goes from being in the lead before the pause to losing after the pause is prima facie evidence of fraud.
The Deep State, the Corrupt Corporate Media, and Big Tech conspired to rig the election.
It’s obvious that the USA is now, and has been for awhile, a corrupt oligarchy.
“We, The Sheeple” should wait until they are loading people on the trains destined for camps to begin to resist.
One can only hope that we can get our liberty back.
“Yes. In the end, you will walk out. Because 100,000 Englishmen simply cannot control 350 million Indians, if those Indians refuse to cooperate.” — movie Gandhi (1983)
So to, one city filled with politicians and bureaucrats can not control 320 million Americans if we all refuse to cooperate. Peaceful non-violent cooperation.
Pick your “battles” but just gum up the works. The Canadian Truckers expose the tyrannical State in Canada. Let’s do the same in the USA.
Save your nickels, bullion, and bitcoins. The may inflate the dollar but it can’t touch real money.

Sen. Graham says it would be ‘a great service’ if a Kremlin official killed Putin
By Jesse O’Neill and Samuel Chamberlain
March 4, 2022 12:19am Updated
*** begin quote ***
US Sen. Lindsey Graham called on Russians to assassinate President Vladimir Putin on Thursday night, as Ukraine pleaded with the West to fight the “nuclear terror.”
Graham (R-SC), 66, made the call to action on Twitter as he compared Putin to Roman dictator Julius Caesar and Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.
“Is there a Brutus in Russia? Is there a more successful Colonel Stauffenberg in the Russian military?” Graham wrote.
*** end quote ***
Maybe if Senator Graham was more familiar with the US Constitution, then he’d know there was a Constitutional appropriate way for Congress to express its disapproval.
https://www.heritage.org/constitution/#!/articles/1/essays/50/marque-and-reprisal
*** begin quote ***
Marque and Reprisal
ARTICLE I, SECTION 8, CLAUSE 11
The Congress shall have Power To …grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal….
At the time of the Founding, the sovereign of any nation could authorize holders of “letters of marque and reprisal” to engage in hostile actions against enemies of the state. The common understanding of “Reprisal” is a seizure of property (or sometimes persons) of a foreign state as redress for an injury committed by that state. Because the word “Marque” is the French equivalent of “Reprisal,” the constitutional term “Marque and Reprisal” is best understood as a single phrase.
The only serious debate over the meaning of the Marque and Reprisal Clause is not whether it extends to authorizing private parties (known as “privateers”) to engage in reprisals for private, commercial gain. Rather, it centers on whether the clause gives Congress authority over all forms of hostilities short of declared wars.
That debate mirrors the larger war powers debate over the Declare War Clause. Supporters of congressional power construe the Declare War Clause and the Marque and Reprisal Clause jointly to cover all forms of armed conflict, from covert action to a full and open armed conflict. Under this reading, the President lacks any power whatsoever to initiate hostilities (except perhaps defensively to repel invasions), no matter their scope. They contend that the Declare War Clause requires Congress to authorize wars, whereas the Marque and Reprisal Clause requires Congress to authorize lower level hostilities, whether by public forces or by privateers.

Key takeaways from President Biden’s State of the Union address
By Emily Crane
March 2, 2022
*** begin quote ***
Tackling rising inflation
Biden said investment was needed in US manufacturing capacity in a bid to lower prices, speed up supply chains and boost American jobs.
“I think I have a better idea to fight inflation: lower costs, not your wages,” Biden said. “Instead of relying on foreign supply chains, let’s make it in America.”
*** end quote ***
“inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon” — Nobel laureate Milton Friedman
So how can it “controlled” by any other action than “END THE FED”.
The Dead Old White Guys knew that inflation was tyranny from the phrase “Not worth a Continental damn”. Hence the Constitutional restriction that only gold and silver could be “money”. A restriction conveniently ignored by the politicians and bureaucrats in the early 1900’s.
How did that slip by the Supreme Court?)
For the better part of the 1800’s, “prices” were stable or declining. (Money supply was relatively static while the supply of goods & services increased.). Everyone could save their cash and it would retain it’s value.
In the 1960’s, the money supply was inflated by FED “printing” and the purchasing power dropped dramatically (i.e., my favorite example is “penny candy”!).
Argh!

Analysis: Push for Green Energy Not Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine Driving up Oil Prices, Threatening Security
PENNY STARR — 28 Feb 2022452
*** begin quote ***
The website oilprice.com posted an analysis about how the push for green energy years before Russia invaded Ukraine – and on steroids since Joe Biden became president – is to blame for soaring oil prices and foreign policy weakness.
The analysis begins with a story about a team from MetalMinder, “the largest metals-related media site in the U.S.”, on a trip to Germany in 2018 where they discovered people’s health suffered from coal pollution because after the Japanese Fukushima nuclear disaster it began shutting down its nuclear energy operations.
“In hindsight, that decision by Germany appears both foolish and ironic,” the team concluded. “Foolish because Germany has lost its negotiating power (pun intended) with Russia for which it relies. It’s ironic because the country already had ‘clean energy’ but now must turn back to dirty energy to avoid blackouts.”
Germany on Friday shut down half of the six nuclear plants it still has in operation, a year before the country draws the final curtain on its decades-long use of atomic power. The decision to phase out nuclear power and shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy was first taken by the center-left government of Gerhard Schroeder in 2002. His successor, Angela Merkel, reversed her decision to extend the lifetime of Germany’s nuclear plants in the wake of the 2011 Fukushima disaster in Japan and set 2022 as the final deadline for shutting them down.The three reactors now being shuttered were first powered up in the mid-1980s. Together they provided electricity to millions of German households for almost four decades.
*** end quote ***
Greenies refuse to recognize that nuclear power is a “clean energy” source.
Argh!
How stupid are politicians and bureaucrats?
The free market would use prices and profits to ensure that all needs are met.

Donald Trump, Ivanka and Don Jr. must testify in Letitia James’ probe: judge
By Priscilla DeGregory
February 17, 2022 3:08pm
*** begin quote ***
Donald Trump and his kids Ivanka and Donald Jr. must testify in New York Attorney General Letitia James’ investigation into the Trump Organization’s business dealings, a Manhattan judge ruled Thursday.
The Trump family trio has been fighting to quash the subpoenas for their sworn testimony, arguing that James’ office is targeting the former president for “selective prosecution” for political reasons and to bolster her career.
Trump’s camp says the AG’s office will use the depositions from the family members to aid a parallel criminal investigation by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office in conjunction with the AG’s Office, rather than calling the family members before a grand jury — which would give them immunity from civil claims involving the same facts.
But Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron denied the motions to quash the subpoenas in a decision Thursday afternoon and said the three Trump family members must appear for depositions within 21 days.
*** and ***
“Let’s say your clients are compelled … to appear for a deposition,” Engoron asked the lawyers for the Trumps. “Can’t they refuse to answer?”
“Isn’t that what Eric Trump did 500 times? Why can’t your clients protect themselves by refusing to answer questions?” Engoron said, referring to Eric Trump having already been deposed in the case.
But lawyers for the Trumps responded that a judge or jury could then draw an “adverse inference” at trial against them for choosing not to answer questions.
Ronald Fischetti, a criminal defense lawyer for Donald Trump, responded, “If he takes the Fifth, how am I going to pick a jury if it’s all over town?”
“You can’t put your civil hat on and then put your criminal district attorney hat on when it suits you,” Trump’s civil lawyer Alina Habba said.
“The civil and criminal actions involve the same subject material,” Habba said. “You’re putting my client in a position where they disclose evidence in a civil investigation or they have to invoke their rights and have an adverse inference. How is that fair, your honor?”
*** end quote ***
I’m not a fan of any politician or bureaucrat. But this is obviously unfair.
The prosecutor should be forced to adjudicate the personal criminal case BEFORE getting to try the civil case.
Anything less is unfair to ANY defendant.
Argh!

Joe Biden is rejecting another executive privilege claim by Donald Trump as he tries to invoke the right in order to withhold the White House visitor logs from the House select committee investigating the January 6 Capitol riot.
In a letter sent to the National Archives on Tuesday, Biden’s White House Counsel Dana Remus told the archivist of the U.S. David Ferriero the agency should provide the material to the panel within 15 days.
Former President Trump is attempting to invoke executive privilege to keep the panel form obtaining the logs, just as he did with other White House documents that were turned over to the committee earlier this month.
The White House plans to inform Trump Wednesday morning of the rejection for his executive privilege claim.
Trump could try to block or slow the release of the logs like he did with other White House documents and materials.

Bill Maher torches Sotomayor for botching COVID facts: ‘That’s really ignorant for a Supreme Court justice’
The HBO star also calls out AOC for going to Florida and wonders why Kyrie Irving can’t play home games
By Joseph A. Wulfsohn | Fox News

“Real Time” host Bill Maher returned from his holiday break Friday and took aim at liberals for their responses to and handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
Along the way, the HBO host commented on U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, NBA player Kyrie Irving of the Brooklyn Nets and U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor.
Maher kicked off the show’s panel discussion by listing all the COVID restrictions the United Kingdom is lifting from mask mandates to vaccine passports, saying “They’re getting back to normal, we should follow this.”
*** end quote ***
Unfortunately, it appears that Joe Biden is using sex & race as a critical criteria for deciding who to nominate for the Breyer’s replacement.
And, worse, when selections are made for “appearance”, then we wind up with a Justice like Sonia Sotomayor. Virtually illiterate about the facts around Covid.
Hopefully the Senate will do it’s job and maybe administer an IQ test.

This Is Your Last Chance
Author Robert Gore Posted on January 19, 2022Economy, Politics, Social Issues
*** begin quote ***
The death knell sounded in 1971 when the United States government repudiated the last vestige of its promise to redeem its dollars for gold. Debt would be the coin of the realm. The bland term “financialization” hides the moral obscenity. Each year the nation’s debt has grown. Production, when netted against that debt, has shrunk, and an increasingly large portion of what remains is diverted to those who don’t produce. Washington decides who gets what, but it can’t command the what. That shrinks as productive virtue is penalized and theft, fraud, and violence are rewarded.

What’s So Frightening about Parochial Schools?
By Shannon Whitworth
January 07, 2022
*** begin quote ***
Based on the questioning coming from the Court in the Maine case, the general consensus is that the Court is leaning toward striking down the law that bans vouchers from use in parochial schools. Predictably, the reaction by the public school establishment has been over the top. These parochial school critics don’t want to pay for a school to teach any religion (other than Atheism). They are characterizing religious schools as bastions of intolerance, indoctrinating mindless drones who will take the first opportunity to attack the nearest available marginalized group they can find. Taxpayer dollars, they argue, should not go toward educating a child in such an environment. But these critics don’t mind if that low-income student is subjected to the violent, chaotic “environment” of a failing inner-city school. How is that attitude serving children in need?
A former vice principal at Milwaukee Lutheran would end the days’ announcements with “I love you. More importantly, He loves you.”
Love is at the heart of any great education. In this respect, it is the power of a parochial school to restore not only one’s faith in God, but also a struggling child’s hope for the future—generally, with better academics thrown in as a bonus. Any rational thinker would think that is taxpayer money well spent.

As a taxpayer paying for this “national disaster”, I am shocked that Gooferment Skrules are allowed to abuse these poor children.

Feds Finally Admit Secret DOJ “Commandos” at Jan. 6 Trump Protests With “Shoot To Kill” Mission
by Jeff Miller January 4, 2022
OPINION: This article contains commentary which may reflect the author’s opinion
*** begin quote ***
What many believe about January 6 has finally been revealed to be true. There were federal ‘commandos’ at the Capitol on that day, and before. The commandos had been granted “shoot to kill” authority, and the FBI was running the operation.
Many people question the federal government’s involvement on January 6th. How did Capitol security fail so spectacularly? Were there members of the FBI acting as agent provocateurs? Were agents inciting the crowd to break the law and enter the Capitol Building so that then-President Trump could be impeached for ‘insurrection’? Was there a shadowy government or deep state conspiracy against Trump? Some things we may never know, but now we do know that there were secret forces at and inside the Capitol Building on that day.

Ain’t that convenient?

Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: “Sound & fury, signifying pandering”
by DON BOUDREAUX on NOVEMBER 30, 2021
*** begin quote ***
This Government-R-Us theory is far too shaky to take seriously. So I offer an alternative answer to the question, “What is democratic government?”
My answer is: theater.
From the president down to midlevel staffers in Uncle Sam’s sprawling bureaucracies, each and every government official is acting.
Each senator is aware that he’ll be judged largely by the quality of the words he speaks publicly. Each House member knows that she is performing for an audience.
The president, of course, is less an executor of the legislature’s statutes than he is the starring attraction in the ongoing 24/7 tragicomedy known as “American Government.”
With exceptions too few to matter, the chief goal of each and every one of these officials is to convince the audience that he or she “cares” about us — that he or she feels our pain — that he or she routinely sacrifices for the good of America, possesses insights denied to less-exalted people and — if only the other party would stop being so blasted obstructionist — will perform wonderful feats that no one else can perform.
*** end quote ***
Remember that politicians and bureaucrats follow the three “rules” of politics.
Remember the three “laws” of political motivation: (1) reward your friends; (2) punish your enemies; and (3) feather your own nest.
Part of this “theater” is to continually show that they “care” about you and your problems.
It’s all an act. All “barbara streisand”. All bull <synonym for excrement>!

Germany Falls Completely to Davos
Date: November 30, 2021 Author: Tom Luongo
*** begin quote ***
If anyone was under any illusions that Germany wasn’t completely under the control of the Davos Crowd then I think this article from Politico should burn that perception into your retinas.
The article details what’s in the new German government’s agreement between the parties. It lays out the goals of the coalition as well as the roadmap for its policy priorities.
In short, this is literally a laundry list of everything Davos has been demanding and it ensures the complete neutering or submission of the FDP’s Christian Lindner to the Davos agenda.
I’m not going to go through them all point by point, the Politico article does that well enough.
What’s important here is that in light of the media release of OmicronVID-9/11 that the new German government is keen on serving its Davos masters agenda fully. Even though OmicronVID-9/11 looks to be the mildest and least interesting strain of COVID-9/11 that isn’t deterring European governments from announcing enforced vaccination programs, including from Germany’s new, fragile coalition.
*** end quote ***
Sorry to say but the global Davos crowd are no friends of Liberty.
The USA seems to be adopting the the worst of the agenda. As if there was any good parts of it.
Remember good old George and “entangling allowances”!

The Ignoble Lie
BY TYLER DURDEN
THURSDAY, OCT 28, 2021 – 06:20 PM
Authored by Victor Davis Hanson via The Epoch Times,
*** begin quote ***
In a controversial passage in Plato’s “Republic,” Socrates introduced the idea of the “noble lie” (“gennaios pseudos”).
A majestic fiction, he says, could sometimes serve society by persuading uninformed citizens of something good for them.
*** and ***
Take Dr. Anthony Fauci, our point man on the COVID-19 epidemic.
Fauci misled the country about mask-wearing during the pandemic by claiming they were of little use. But he argued that he lied so the public would not make a run on masks, deplete the supply, and thus rob medical professionals of protective equipment.
Fauci also told “noble” lies about the likely percentage of the public needing to be vaccinated to achieve herd immunity. He kept raising the bar—from 60 percent to 70 percent to 75 percent to 80 percent, to 85 percent.
Apparently, Fauci feared a lower figure, even if accurate, might lull people into complacency about getting inoculated.
Fauci also lied about his own role in routing U.S. aid money to subsidize gain-of-function viral research at the Wuhan virology lab—the likely birthplace of COVID-19.
Either Fauci was hiding his own culpability, or he believed the American people might not be able to fully accept that some of their own health officials were promoting the sort of research that was partially responsible for more than 700,000 American deaths.
*** end quote ***
When will #firefauci join “let’s go Brandon” and #fjb as popular jeers.
I remember the late Rush Limbaugh suggesting that people put a cardboard frame around their TV with the words “they’re lying” on it for all TV coverage of political speeches. Where’s the “fact checkers” for Fauci? He should be ridiculed and labeled anytime his on TV. If ever.
“White man speak with forked tongue.” To quote the old cowboy TV shows before “political correctness” made it impossible to show anything remotely entertaining for fear of offending somebody somewhere. Argh!

NYC Catholic school enrollment rising amid end of Gifted and Talented program
By Conor Skelding
October 16, 2021
*** begin quote ***
Enrollment at Catholic elementary schools in Brooklyn and Queens grew for the first time in a decade as the city scraps gifted and talented programs.
Enrollment for the current school year increased by 2.4 percent, after a decade of decline, according to the Diocese of Brooklyn.
New York’s parochial schools fully reopened more or less a full year ahead of schools run by the city Department of Education, which have seen a steep enrollment and attendance drop. More recent interest in Catholic schools has been spawned by Mayor de Blasio’s announced plan to kill the Gifted & Talented classes, as parents seek alternatives to remote learning and look for more challenging classrooms.
“The families that came to us last year stayed with us,” Dr. Thomas Chadzutko, superintendent of the Diocese of Brooklyn’s schools, told The Post in an interview. “This is a positive time for Catholic education within the diocese […] It is an alternative for families.”
*** end quote ***
I trust parents more than I do the Gooferment, the Teachers’ Union, politicians, or bureaucrats.
We know from the origins of Gooferment Skrules that their purpose was cannon fodder for the Army, willing morons for the factories, and useful idiots to vote for and be led by the elite. So maybe this is a chance to turn the tide.

Massive Discovery In Arizona Database…Could Flip AZ Election Overnight
September 20, 2021
*** begin quote ***
In the last 10 weeks, Arizona has checked the voter registration credentials with the Social Security Administration (SSA) on 673,560 applicants.
This is a massive volume considering most States including Arizona typically process around 2,500 a month. They’ve processed more identities in the last 2 months than they’ve done in the last 9 years combined. Is someone scrubbing a database, or auditing “Federal Only” voters?
A whopping 393,017 did not have a match out of the 673,560. In fact, Arizona weekly processing has one of the highest Non Match percentages in the country, typically between 50%-65%. In most other States this ratio is from 15%-25%.

I’m sure everyone will be shocked — “I’m shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!” Captain Renault in Casablanca
I think that the pollsters must now guesstimate just how fraudulent these so called elections will be decided.
Note: “so called election” has the same meaning as a “so called vaccine”!

Dirty Deeds Done Not Cheap
By Clarice Feldman
*** begin quote ***
Glenn Greenwald echoes this more tersely on Twitter: “Russiagate was a gigantic fraud perpetrated on the public by a union of CIA and FBI operatives, the liberal/anti-Trump sector of the corporate press and the Democratic party.”
*** end quote ***
Sounds like the WHOLE law firm of Perkins Coie should be sanctioned. As a partnership, everyone shares the blame.
That should put the “Fear of God” into law firms that practice in this realm!

Shockingly, CDC Now Lists Vaccinated Deaths as Unvaccinated
Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola
September 15, 2021
*** begin quote ***
STORY AT-A-GLANCE
- According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, you’re not counted as fully vaccinated until a full 14 days have passed since your second injection in the case of Pfizer or Moderna, or 14 days after your first dose of Janssen, despite the fact that over 80% of deaths after the vaccines occur in this window. How convenient
- Anyone who dies within the first 14 days post-injection is counted as an unvaccinated death. Not only does this inaccurately inflate the unvaccinated death toll, but it also hides the real dangers of the COVID shots, as the vast majority of deaths from these shots occur within the first two weeks
- The CDC also has two different sets of testing guidelines — one for vaccinated patients and another for the unvaccinated. If you’re unvaccinated, CDC guidance says to use a cycle threshold (CT) of 40, known to result in false positives. If you’re vaccinated, they recommend using a CT of 28 or less, which minimizes the risk of false positives
- The CDC also hides vaccine failures and props up the “pandemic of the unvaccinated” narrative by only counting breakthrough cases that result in hospitalization or death
- Hospitals are still also reporting non-COVID related illnesses as COVID-19

Two Key Senior FDA Officials Resign Over Vaccine Decisions
Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola
*** begin quote ***
While the resignations of Gruber and Krause might indicate to some that the COVID boosters have a political foundation rather than a scientific one, concerns over FDA misconduct have been present for over a year.
In a June 2021 DarkHorse interview,12 the inventor of the mRNA and DNA vaccine core platform technology,13 Dr. Robert Malone, said he’d warned the FDA that the spike protein — which the COVID-19 “vaccines” instruct your cells to make — could be dangerous.
The FDA dismissed his concerns, saying they did not believe the spike protein was biologically active. Besides, the vaccine makers specifically designed the injections so the spike protein would stick and not float about freely.
Well, they were wrong on both accounts. It’s since been well-established that, indeed, the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein gets free,14 and that it is biologically active and causes severe problems.

Time to end the FDA and just let the Free Market “discipline” Big Pharma!
