Had a record, or near-record, low high temp here today--in the mid 70's, mostly cloudy with some breeze--like a day in early fall almost.

Have got to the evacuation of Boston in "1776." Fine storytelling. I'm making note of some things to criticize later. Nothing gross, but the ex-editor dies hard.

pretty much shows that belief in the vaccine is based on hhope and faith rather than science. I will add to it what appeared in my email at work yesterday from the Secretery of the Veteran's Administration health system:

MESSAGE FROM THE SECRETARY





I routinely test for the COVID-19 every day, and today I tested positive. My symptoms are mild, and I am following my physician’s directions.



In keeping with those directions, and in accordance with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s guidelines, I will isolate myself at home for the next 5 days.

I have informed my leadership team of my positive test result. To protect the safety of others, including our workforce and colleagues, I will attend key meetings and discussions virtually for the rest of this week and early next week. I will retain all authorities.



My last meeting with President Biden occurred on Wednesday, August 10, 2022, upon the signing of the Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics Act (PACT Act) of 2022. Our interaction was brief and not considered a close contact. I tested negative that very morning.

As I am fully vaccinated and “boosted,” my physician expects my symptoms to be mild and my recovery swift. I am grateful for that.

Vaccines work, and I continue to encourage everyone eligible for a booster shot to get one.


Fully vaccinated and boosted. Came down with covid. Insists the vaccination is mild because of it- with no science bacling that up. And says, inexpicably- Vaccines work, and I continue to encourage everyone eligible for a booster shot to get one.

He. along with all the others in that photo saying the exact same thing, are living proof- the vaccine doesn't work. The evidence is right there in fromnt of their eyes, well, actually, in their bodies.

Are they completely delusional? Or is there some hidden reason they want us all to take this unsafe vaccinatio that existing evidence says doesn't work? I am at a complete loss to explain idiotic stupid delusional statements like this from the credentialed class. A complete failure of common sense 101.

Still completely unvaxxed. Still completely covid free. Gave platelet donation 15 for the year today, now waiting on my covid antibody test. No symptoms in the 9 weeks since donation 14. Vitamin D blood level measuered at about 50 ng/ml for the third time a few months back. More useful according to statistics then the vaxx.

The entire covid episode can be understood by the numbers. And- if you know and understand numbers, you're left completely puzzled by eveyry official action that's occurred, from lockdowns to masks to foreced vaccinations or you're fired, et cetera. It's all completely irractional.

So Kamala is here on Kauai, Joe is God knows where, Trump should just move back into the swampy White House. Also see the decrepit Clinton’s on Daily Mail, hideous. Save America!

So I rented the new Jurassic Park movie. Because I wanted to be scared, right?

I had forgotten that in the ending of the last Jurassic Park movie, which was okay, the damn girl at the end of the movie decided to free all the dinosaurs.

Here is clip of my review of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018).

I am not kidding, the movie ends with the dinosaurs and humanity living in perfect harmony, with sunsets, butterflies and big man-eating lizards running around.

Listen, you damn hippie do-gooders. Dinousaurs are not your friends. Stop hugging the dinousaurs. It’s okay to hate them. Dinosaur bad! Human good. “What Is Not a Moral Dilemma For $100, Alex.” Go ahead and shoot the dinosaur in the head. It’s okay. It’s allowed. Kill the dinosaur. It’s us or them, baby. Pick a side.


So, moron that I am, I had forgotten the ending of the last movie. Even though it was in my book!

I knew Spielberg wasn't involved anymore. Although his company is still producing this shit. I figured it would be scary and big budget. You know, dinosaurs. Scary as shit, right?

Fatherfucker. You know that one scene in Jurassic Park where they pet the vegetarian dinosaurs? That scene works. You need shit like that in horror movies to relieve the tension. Spielberg is a master filmmaker.

This fucking thing, the whole movie -- or the half an hour I watched -- dinosaurs are living with humanity, just like ordinary animals. And we all love animals, right?

So the bad guys in this movie are the humans. Holy fuck! And the dinosaurs are cute and sickly and innocent and all this sensitive unbelievable shit.

I swear, the delusions of liberals drive me up the wall. The inability to see reality. And your fucking anti-human narratives. Dinosaurs are instinct, you fucking Eloi, you don't have to be nice to them. They are monsters! It's okay to be scared and to hate fucking monsters that will kill you! Holy shit. The childishness of this fucking thing. The delusions of it.

6 year-old-boy: "I'm a girl! I'm a girl!"

Liberal parents: "Maybe we should take him to a doctor."

Liberal doctor: "I can fix this."

We are living in insane times.

Doctors use their skills to surgical alter children. You cut off their penis and install a vulva. You turn girls into boys and vice versa.

None of these children will reproduce and their sex lives will not be pretty. The suicides will be off the charts. And instead of seeing this reality, or thinking about it? Rainbows and shit.

The awful violence that you do in the name of your ideology!

And then you have to hide and censor reality so nobody gets mad at your fucking mistakes. More narrative! More delusions created. More censorship! Still more delusions. It's an endless fucking cycle. It's the abortion template.

Scientists good. Doctors good. Anything they do is good. How dare you complain!

God help us if scientists really do clone dinosaurs.

Liberals: "This is great! Dinosaurs are back! We just need to be friendly and nice. A dinosaur ate your daughter? Well, we can't put that on the news. People might get upset."

They say politics is war by peaceful means.

Hugely important to understand that the universities have become politicized. Not lawyers so much, because of the way we are trained. But medical schools have become politicized.

Babies are killed in medical schools.

Young children are castrated in medical schools.

Evil shit that stays hidden because liberals own the airwaves.

And children are indoctrinated in school.

Earth worship.

False narratives about "climate change" and the world is ending.

The most important things on the left is narrative, propaganda, censorship and indoctrination.

Fight for school choice.

Fight for free speech.

The next election we win, fire everybody at NPR and put Tucker Carlson in charge of it. They have no right to own NPR. It's a public fucking network, paid for in part by public fucking dollars. And if we destroy NPR by this stunt? That's fine!

It's a fight we need to have.

Ever the showman, President Trump just endorsed two NYC dems running for congress, Dan Goldman and Carolyn Maloney. It is hilarious.

WHY do Progressives hate us so much?? WHY is Joe Biden letting an unvetted invasion of illegals come into the country against our will?? WHY isn't anybody doing anything about it?? THIS is why we got Trump and WHY we need him again. This lawlessness has to stop, or they will be stopped unnecessarily. They are doing this to themselves. Don't blame others when you poked the angry hornets nest too many times.

Kamala Kauai? Wasn't that a Boy George song?

Saint Croix said...

I said, "Tucker Carlson," by the way, because he hired Rachel Maddow.

You probably didn't know this, right?

He gave Rachel Maddow her first job.

You can be a Republican and still respect freedom of speech and the importance of opposing views. It used to be, you could be liberal and do the same. Try it now and they'll paint you as conservative.

The people who run the networks and hire 99% pro-choice people. Why are you doing that shit? What is it about your minds that you have to surround yourself with like minds? You should be embarrassed. Certainly your journalism is embarrassing. Hide the bodies! No one will notice!

We noticed.

I'm going out on a limb and predicting the corrupt anti-Trump magistrate in FL will rule the affidavit behind the Trump raid warrant will not be unsealed.
