“Florida plans to become first state to eliminate all childhood vaccine mandates”

What could possibly go wrong? People are blaming migrants for bringing measles into the country, now we can just infect each other. Picture it, back to the days of epidemics of childhood diseases.; 9/3/25, 8:08 PM
Kakistocracy said...: It's interesting to see Trump apologists saying that "Trump was already investigated and nothing was found" and "Epstein was arrested and now he is dead, so what more is there to investigate?" while, at the same time, insisting that the files don't need to be released. (Trump apologists are no different than Hillary or Biden apologists…nothing to see, it’s the past)

How can this be a Democrat hoax when for the past 3 years MAGA, Bondi, Patel, Bongino, and Trump were saying to release the documents but now it's a hoax?

Trump's own vice president JD Vance was theatrically pounding the lectern and angrily demanding the release of the files during the 2024 campaign, impugning the Biden administration for not doing so.

Today? He's ready to move on to something else without ever seeing the files. Not suspicious at all. Nope.

If there is nothing important or incriminating in the files, what's the harm in releasing them?; 9/3/25, 8:24 PM

Lem Vibe Bandit said...: Newsweek: "What's going on with The Howard Stern Show? What we know"

Stern reportedly emailed his 95 employees on Labor Day evening "out of the blue" about the news of the show's delay, calling the decision a result of "frustrations over the new contract" he's been negotiating with SiriusXM, according to the Daily Mail.
One industry insider told the U.S. Sun: "Sirius and Stern are never going to meet on the money he is going to want. It's no longer worth the investment."

Go Woke, Pay cut. Howard is not going broke, but he may have to take a pay cut. He bet big on the Left and, like all the other shows that did, ratings have probably faltered.; 9/3/25, 8:32 PM

Your Russophilia and the many repetitive comments you make that quote Russian propaganda could be more damaging to the blog than discussing the Epstein scandal.; 9/3/25, 8:44 PM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: Inga is back because Trump's health rumors are the perennial but new "Walls Closing In" on Trump. Inga wants to be here when they wheel him out from the white house, to celebrate.; 9/3/25, 8:45 PM
Iman said...: Omar @notomarfxf

speaking of churchil, what did he say about the jews back then?
refresh our memories…

Uri Kurlianchik @VerminousM
With pleasure!
Churchill described the Jews as a "higher grade race" compared to the "great hordes of Islam."
He wrote that "Some people like the Jews and some do not, but no thoughtful man can doubt the fact that they are beyond all question the most formidable and the most remarkable race that has ever appeared in the world," adding that "We owe to the Jews a system of ethics which, even if it were entirely separated from the supernatural, would be incomparably the most precious possession of mankind, worth in fact the fruits of all wisdom and learning put together."; 9/3/25, 8:46 PM

Gospace said...: brain fog- first used according to google AI in 1850 or so. And became a much more popular diagnosis or condition in the 1990s, rather not coincidently, when Joe in Joe Versus the Volcano was diagnosed with it. That's when I first heard the term. As a running joke through the fllm, not as a real thing.

And after that I only heard it as a real thing starting during the covidiocy. AI (and papers) attribute it to a covid aftermath, but, curiously, in my experience, only in the vaccinated. Sort of like long covid- appears only in the vaccinated who have had covid.

Oh- and on that subject- if you got vaccinated for measles on 9/01 (or mumps or diphtheria, etc.) for example, and get the disease the day after- it's a vaccine failure- you were vaccinated as of 9/01. If you were vaccinated for covid on 9/01 and came down with it 9/10- you were unvaccinated according to the health establishment. Also on 9/11-9/14 IIRC- you're not vaccinated until 15 days later. That's the only way they could say vaccination was effective- by counting a huge number of vaccinated people as unvaccinated...

But to go on... I've got a pretty good feel for the way things were 10 or more years ago and the way they are now. 2 days ago I watched someone making a left turn from the left turn lane on a green light- not a green ARROW- right in front of a pickup truck that slammed on it's brakes in time. And yesterday on a T intersection where there was a stop sign I was making a left and slammed on my brakes as a vehicle made a left turn without even slowing down, right through the stop sign. I'm much more careful on the road now because watching these things is now a one or two times a month thing, whereas 10 years ago it was rare. (2 days in a row is a first, didn't happen today.) My son who I've discussed this with attributes this to Covid Shot Syndrome- Brain Fog. He's in FL, and right after the shots became available, and older people were prioritized, and there's more older people there, there were an increasing and noticeable increase of older people drifting across lanes or taking their foot off the accelerator and slowing down to a stop... things like that. And coming out of a trance like state after the fact. Brain fog.

If you observe behavior at intersections, both light controlled an stop or yield sign controlled, other drivers are also aware of this. People are much more hesitant to pull out when they have a clear right of way now until they are absolutely certain the oncoming traffic without the right of way is actually going to stop. I know I'm doing that. As is my wife, both of us among the rare unvaccinated senior citizen class. Also on the major routes that aren't freeways an increasing number of people who can't quite get up to the speed limit, and slow down for all curves, however slight. I suspect that's related...

And in today's other news- once again Trump wasn't ended. For 3 days X commenters told me how the Epstein survivors were going to have a press conference today and end Trump. And once again, nothing happened. In fact, they didn't name anyone at all.; 9/3/25, 8:54 PM

You might also consider there are a not insignificant number of people in the country these days who don't speak/read English and have minimal experience driving on US roads. Have you seen the video of the Indian (dot, not feather) trucker who made a U-turn on the interstate and killed three people?; 9/3/25, 9:11 PM
Gospace said...: Mason Guy

I am aware of that- and other similar incidents. This is not the same thing. This is a different problem. Mostly rural up here. The "migrants" contribute heavily to the DUI rate up here, but not much more then that. And that's mostly a weekend late night thing...

The two recent incidents I witnessed were both older Caucasian drivers, first one female, second one male.; 9/3/25, 9:25 PM

Kakistocracy said...: Trump's promise, and then failure to release the Epstein files is a "Democrat hoax".

There you have it, MAGA. Trump thinks you will buy that. That is how little he thinks of you; 9/3/25, 9:41 PM
Jim at said...: Florida is eliminating the mandate for vaccines. Not the vaccines themselves.

Because how DARE the parents of those children decide what's best for their health. It should be the almighty STATE instead.

Maybe those people who kneel at the power of the STATE could check on just how many vaccines are now being required as opposed to, say ... 50 years ago.

And please cite the source of your cut-n-paste.; 9/3/25, 9:42 PM
Inga said...: “Florida is eliminating the mandate for vaccines. Not the vaccines themselves.”

Yes, that’s apparent, it is what the article says, who said differently?

“And please cite the source of your cut-n-paste.”

I linked to the article in my comment, did you not see it?or were you in such a hurry to make a dumb comment you read sloppily?; 9/3/25, 9:54 PM
Mason G said...: "This is not the same thing."

It was just a thought.; 9/3/25, 9:57 PM
