A Yankee is a peculiar type of American that was born and bred in New England in the 17th century but that eventually found his way into virtually every part of the United States, and like a horde of locusts, he plunders and consumes everything he deems unholy.
The Yankee is always concerned that someone, somewhere is doing something he doesn’t like and it is his goal to ensure that stops.
This originated in Puritan theology and has been secularized in the modern age. That is why I have termed the new left the “political puritans.”

Yup, it certainly seems that no one can MYOB.
FMPOV, I don’t want my face rubbed in whatever you’re doing. If I don’t feel that whatever you’re doing will impact my life, I really don’t care. And most of all I don’t want to pay for whatever you’re doing. Hence why I really don’t like politicians and bureaucrats.
I guess I’m not a “Yankee” or a “Karen”.
Live and let live. MYOB. AND, most of all, blessed are the Peacemakers.
Sigh!

You can add your COVID vaccination certificate to the Apple Wallet… but should you?

Spoiler: Yeah, why not?
The modern world hurts my brain. Let’s take the news that Apple enables users to store their COVID vaccination certificates in the Wallet and Health apps as an example.
When I first heard about it, I was pumped. Flashing my QR code to enter a restaurant or grab a coffee would be far simpler if it sat in my Apple Wallet. Friends, the time I’d save!
But, of course, the world had something to say about that.
We talked to 4 successful entrepreneurs This is what they wish they knew before getting started
While putting my digital certificate of vaccination in an easy-to-access place is cool… is it safe? And because I can do it, does that mean I should?
Something that seemed simple on the surface is actually a minefield. I wanted some clarity on this issue.
*** and ***
COVID vaccine certificates in the Apple Wallet app: not a huge concern To put it bluntly: there are no obvious dangers of moving your vaccine certificate to the Apple Wallet. This does come with a large caveat though, as this is only true if you tightly control what apps can access your data.
In this way, vaccination certificates differ from digital IDs. The majority of the former are digital by nature, while the most common forms of identification (driver’s licenses and passports) are paper-based. Digitizing them opens a huge and wriggling can of worms — while the vaccine pass system could actually benefit from being incorporated into the Apple Wallet.
So, there you have it! A little bit of respite before the modern world messes with our heads again.

It’s just too easy for the Gooferment make this the digital version of “show me your papers”!
It’s a BIG “NO” for me.

The border gets worse and worse
by Byron York, Chief Political Correspondent | January 31, 2022 10:25 AM
*** begin quote ***
THE BORDER GETS WORSE AND WORSE. These days, the Biden White House talks a lot about the border. At press briefings, there are many questions about the border. But it’s the Russia-Ukraine border. Meanwhile, the situation on the U.S.-Mexico border is deteriorating daily.
Two new developments. One, we are learning more about the administration’s covert effort to relocate thousands of illegal border-crossers — single, adult males, not families — into the nation’s interior. We’ll talk about that today. And tomorrow, the second development — new information about the changing makeup of the thousands of people crossing the border illegally each month.
First, the relocation effort. Last week, Fox News broadcast body camera footage from security officers at New York’s Westchester County Airport, about 30 miles outside Manhattan. It was the middle of the night. An unmarked passenger jet had just landed, and a steady stream of single, adult men came down the plane’s steps. They were accompanied by federal contractors.
*** and ***
The public knows very little about this process. How many illegal immigrants have been relocated? Where have they been sent? How many have been charged or convicted of crimes? How many have complied with the requirement to check in with immigration authorities? What nongovernmental organizations are assisting them? How much is the federal government paying for this? Is there a limit on how many will be relocated? And more.
The bottom line: Yes, the news is filled with reports on Ukraine, or COVID, or the latest twists and turns of the Biden agenda on Capitol Hill. But what’s happening on the border — the U.S.-Mexico border — is important news, and you need to know more about it.
*** end quote ***
What can we do to get the Biden administration to follow the law?
They are just trying to upset the voting balance of the country and penalize the “red states” for their political votes by loading them with social costs (i.e., crime, welfare, homeless).
Argh!

“The passports essentially function as a gateway to allow government to herd us into a totally new reality where our actions, our movements, our thoughts, our behavior are tracked and surveilled,” Corbishley says.

There is no reason to permit Gooferment, any level of Gooferment, to treat us like their cattle.
When will “We, The Sheeple” object? When they are loading up the trains!
