Big Mike বলেছেন...: I see that Rochelle Walensky has resigned as head of the CDC, effective June 30. She doubtless would like to be remembered as a brave leader in the fight against COVID-19, but all she ever really was was a hack bureaucrat who got her jollies from yanking ordinary people around.; ৫/৫/২৩, ৮:৫২ PM
Narr বলেছেন...: Deserves a haiku.
Yet here I sit, lacking wit.
Better tomorrow.; ৫/৫/২৩, ৯:২৪ PM
Maynard বলেছেন...: From yesterday's liberals:

Anyone who has been able to break the grip from a controlling, crippling belief or bigotry or enforced ignorance knows the sense of coming out into the light and air, of release, being set free to fly, to transcend.

Ursula K. LeGuin (1990)

Sounds like someone who would be red pilled today, doesn't it?; ৫/৫/২৩, ১০:১২ PM

Big Mike: You can only wish that you had her medical skills and substantive background at some of the finest hospitals in the world.; ৫/৫/২৩, ১১:০৯ PM

SteveWe বলেছেন...: It seems to me that we Americans are living in a country populated by people living in their personal fantasy and supported by other people doing the same. Men can be women and vice versa. Police are not needed and when they're gone, crime will also be gone. Trump can win the Presidency and Biden is of sound mind and body. Congress can spend an unlimited amount of money without worry and the Supreme Court is unlawful. The Biden family is virtuous and never received money for influence or policy and Trump never laid a finger on any women who didn't want his paws on them. The media are only seeking and publishing the honest to God truth and never ever misrepresent the facts. And there's more, so much more.; ৬/৫/২৩, ১২:৩২ AM

Candide বলেছেন...: How eastern Ukraine became part of Russian empire:

The year is 1648 and the Cossacks are revolting against Polish oppression. Crimean Khan is supportive, but only up to a point; his main interest is to use Ukrainians to weaken Poland. Cossacks appeal for help to Russia, but Russians are wary: any open support for Ukrainians means war with Poland, which was the military hegemon of Eastern Europe back then. Finally, Russians come to help Ukrainians (year 1654). Poland immediately declares war on Russia and Polish armies defeat Russians in many engagements. However, Russians and Ukrainians manage to stay in the fight for about 12 years and Poles eventually agree to cede part of Ukraine, east of river Dnieper and city of Kiev (year 1668). Ukrainians and Russians celebrate re-unification of The Rus people. Poles are satisfied with resuming control over Western Ukraine. Historians point to this event as the first sign of decline of the mighty Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth.; ৬/৫/২৩, ১:২৬ AM
Big Mike বলেছেন...: The thought crosses my mind that Audrey Hale’s manifesto related to the Covenant School murders must contain some seriously sinister information implicating well-known lefties, given that the FBI continues to sit on it.; ৬/৫/২৩, ১:৫৭ AM

Humperdink বলেছেন...: Rochelle will be remembered, at least by me, for recently saying the previously settled science has "evolved". How quaint.; ৬/৫/২৩, ৫:৫০ AM
Mr. Forward বলেছেন...: How to raise a crackhead. "My son has do-nothing wrong".; ৬/৫/২৩, ৬:১২ AM
Big Mike বলেছেন...: @gadfly, OTOH I know how to validate a mathematical model, and I know why it is critical to do so. Her, not so much. And the expertise by which one rises to the top of a federal agency includes backstabbing, taking credit for other people’s work, and climbing the bureaucratic ladder BAMN. It has nothing to do with subject matter expertise.; ৬/৫/২৩, ৬:৩৫ AM
iowan2 বলেছেন...: @11:09

The problem, she wasn't hired to run a hospital or do surgeries. You are a classic leftist. You can't help your self. The logical fallacy, appeal to authority, lives deep in you.; ৬/৫/২৩, ৬:৫৫ AM

Mr. Majestyk বলেছেন...: I know someone who believes "they" are:
* spreading poison through chemtrails,
* deliberately causing the derailment of trains carrying toxic materials to poison red areas,
* deliberately starting fires at food processing facilities across the nation to reduce the food supply,
* deliberately poisoning the food supply,
* about to switch us to a Central Bank Digital Currency and empty all of our financial accounts,
* about to require a kill switch in new automobiles that the government will use to control us,
* controlling the weather,
* causing earthquakes, and
* planning to cause another pandemic, just like they caused the covid-19 pandemic and the 1918 influenza pandemic.

Some of these things have at least a kernel of truth. The government IS trying to develop a CBDC, which would give the government control over our finances. The Department of Transportation IS developing rules to require auto manufacturers to install a device that disables a vehicle when a drunk tries to get behind the wheel. The Covid-19 pandemic WAS caused by a man-made virus. But causing earthquakes? As our worst president is fond of saying, c'mon man!; ৬/৫/২৩, ৮:৩৭ AM
farmgirl বলেছেন...: I’ve always loved that angle. I think we’ll have seen it from all seasons soon.

The sun is finally shining beautifully- we’re in for a stretch of very fine weather. The grass is growing and leaves popping! Thank you, Lord!; ৬/৫/২৩, ৯:৩৪ AM
Narr বলেছেন...: Should a haiku rhyme?
Authorities disagree.
It's okay with me.; ৬/৫/২৩, ১০:১২ AM

PM বলেছেন...: Thank you, Bruce McCall. May your gravestone be of your design and air-lifted to your resting place by 32 CH-47 Chinooks.; ৬/৫/২৩, ৩:৫১ PM
DINKY DAU 45 বলেছেন...: Angel of Empire runs 3rd and busts my WIN and Exacta wager. Winning runner legit, if you liked the favorite FORTE (who was scratched last minute) you could use MAGE who ran 2nd to that one In the Florida derby. Angel was not good enough, no excuse fast pace 45 and 110 just couldn't get there. Next up New York races Saratoga exclusively in August, probably get there. My ROI for the season will take a small hit. Now its time to get nice cup of coffee and go see who got gun murdered today, I hear the wild west of Greg Abbott has more "thoughts and prayers coming, what jut a week later form the "illegals killed. Yup everyday event coming to a place near you STRAP UP!, THATS WHAT THEY SAY THE answer is. Now we can watch the Politicians do their thing. perp neutralized, what a marvelous mind picture huh! :(; ৬/৫/২৩, ৬:৪৯ PM
