MadTownGuy বলেছেন...: Former CNN anchor and vaccine pusher Chris Cuomo disclosed for the first time that he has been suffering from side effects he attributes to the COVID-19 vaccine.

"Cuomo admitted his side effects durinan in-depth interview with nurse practitioner Sean Barcavage.

“We know that vaccines can have unintended consequences, a.k.a. side effects… But nobody’s really talking about it because they’re too afraid of blame, and they just want it to go away.”

“Sean, I can’t help you because I’m no clinician. I’m sick myself. But I’m working with people who are working on this, so I’ll make sure that we’re in touch right after the show, and I’ll help any way I can. You may be ahead of me. I’ll connect you with my clinicians, and maybe you can share different protocols and things that may help. But I will never stop reporting on this. All I’m doing is just beating the drum for a 9/11-style commission to figure out what worked and what didn’t and what questions need to be answered because it’s not over,” Cuomo said."

Wife and I opted for the Pfizer jab when it first came available in PA. No side effects. We might as well have been injected with water. We took the first booster too, same lack of side effects. When it became obvious that the vaccine was ineffectual on preventing contagion, we passed on any more boosters. I'm beginning to wonder if we were in the control group.

Some months later, we both contracted COVID-19. Tested positive. She had a full recovery but I got pneumonia and had an 11-day vacay in hospital though I recovered all right. She's older than I am and could be more at risk. But I'm thankful that she did better!

No odd side effects since then.; ৫/৫/২৪, ৯:০৬ PM

Why are there actual Nazis on college campuses? It's just sickening. And the Presidents allowing this are so often women. Smiley, nicey, civility bullshit women.; ৫/৫/২৪, ৯:২৭ PM
RCOCEAN II বলেছেন...: Daily Wire: Trump Accuses Democrats Of Running A ‘Gestapo Administration’
Fact check: True

BTW, Mittens just did a one-hour McCain institute intereview with Secretary of State Blinken. They're BFF's it seems. But Mittens let the cat out of the bag. It seems tik Tok got banned beause there was too much anti-Israel, Pro-Palestine comments on the Tik Tok. So it had to shut down. Go listen to it on Youtube, I aint lying. Of course, maybe Mittens is.

Anyway, I listened to most of it and was amazed at what a shallow mind Mitt Romney has. He needs to have someone write a script or get pre-scripted questions, when he has to ad-lib its depressingly mediocre. His support for sending weapons was Ukraine was typical - "I just cant understand why anyone would be against helping Ukraine". That's it. How persuasive Mitt!; ৫/৫/২৪, ৯:৩২ PM

Jupiter বলেছেন...: The State of Oregon has decided that those of its citizens who are over the age of sixty-five should be allowed to audit classes at the University of Oregon without charge. This is a remarkable exercise, of generosity, I suppose. Although some might consider it profligacy. If the purpose of state-financed education is to develop the arts conducive to prosperity in the young, that they might exercise those arts, to the overall betterment of the public weal, it is not evident why the moribund elderly should be given preferential access to that resource. Nonetheless, being beyond that age, I have availed myself of a class in Quantum Computing, offered by the Physics Department.

As a "senior auditor", I am not required to pay for my education. But I still need to find a way to get to class, and that involves driving, and therefore, parking. Which is, of course, impossible, unless you have a reserved space. The solution I have found, is to park at the football stadium. There are thousands of parking spaces there, and unless there is a football game in progress, anyone can use them for free. However, getting to class, in Willamette Hall, requires a hike of about a mile, along a rather charming woodland trail, and over a footbridge across the Willamette River.

I regard this as rather a feature, than a bug. Thus far, even though I am in Western Oregon, I have not been rained upon, let alone poured down in buckets upon, as I had rather expected. However, as I am walking back after class, I observe a strange phenomenon. Or, perhaps, merely a disquieting reality. I walk across the footbridge, and through the Spring foliage along the path. And then, in the distance, an icon emerges. Fronting the immense works of the football stadium, there is a gigantic letter "O". Hoist into the sky, it towers over everything. As I come closer, approaching the spot where my car is parked, it comes to resemble the ghastly "Eye of Sauron" from the Lord of the Rings.

A fitting symbol, I think, of this parasitic institution, which has consumed the Eastern portion of the City of Eugene. Its gargantuan works pile up to the sky, celebrating nothing but its own raw, lurid economic power. It owns huge swaths of land, for which it pays no taxes. It is a cancer, a cancer that claims to be a form of health. Every local institution does it obeisance. It is a football team, and a basketball team. Oh, and some rooms where some people talk about Philosophy, or something. Math? Ballroom Dance? Whatever. Anyway, there are acres of campus that only persons accredited by the Athletic Department are allowed to visit. The academic programs exist on sufferance. The Sports franchise is not, in principle, opposed to academic pursuits, so long as they do not interfere with its objectives. At least not at present.; ৫/৫/২৪, ১১:৪৪ PM

Former CNN anchor and vaccine pusher Chris Cuomo disclosed for the first time that he has been suffering from side effects he attributes to the COVID-19 vaccine.

Actually Cuomo told the world that he continues to suffer from long COVID - the disease itself, not the vaccine in January 2024. Statistics show that one in four COVID-19 sufferers have recurring effects from the virus.

Chris Cuomo, aka Fredo, contracted COVID-19 in 2020 but did not receive his vaccine until March 30, 2021.; ৬/৫/২৪, ৫:৪৫ AM

MadTownGuy বলেছেন...: New Jersey State Police trooper dies during training at headquarters in Mercer County

"The trooper had been with the state police for over eight years, officials say.

A New Jersey State Police trooper died during training on Sunday, according to state authorities.

State police announced on X that Trooper Marcellus E. Bethea with Troop D at the Moorestown Station has died.

It happened at New Jersey State Police headquarters in Ewing Township, Mercer County, Action News has learned.

Bethea had been with the state police for over eight years and was a member of the 156th State Police Class, according to the post. He was training to be a part of the Elite Teams Unit.

"Please keep Trooper Bethea and his family in your prayers," the announcement read in part.

No further information has been released on this incident.

Authorities did not state how Bethea died.

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy released the following statement on Bethea:

"Tammy and I are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of New Jersey State Trooper Marcellus Bethea, who died during training at NJSP Headquarters in Ewing.

Trooper Bethea showed a passion and spark for service from a young age, participating in New Jersey State Police Trooper Youth Week while a student at Burlington Regional High School, and later graduating from the State Police Academy as part of the 156th class. He embodied Honor, Duty, and Fidelity in its highest form every day and in everything he did.

An investigation into his death is underway. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and his fellow troopers at this difficult time."; ৬/৫/২৪, ৬:৫১ AM
MadTownGuy বলেছেন...: From X:

@MattForVA

"You are being replaced by your government.

My son was playing soccer with some friends at field and had his cellphone on the sideline by his bag.

His phone wasn’t there when he finished playing, so he called me from his friend’s phone to tell me it was lost.

We’ve got Life360, so I tracked his phone to a neighborhood downtown near the fields.

The street I turned into dead ended into a low income neighborhood - a mix ot townhouses and duplexes.

It was about 9pm.

As soon as I entered into that neighborhood I thought I was back in Kabul.

There must’ve been at least 50 Afghan kids running around playing.

I parked at the location Life360 told me my son’s phone was at, and my wife and I got out of the truck.

(I tried to tell her she couldn’t come for obvious reasons, but she jumped in the truck anyway.)

As I’m walking down the sidewalk trying to figure out which duplex the phone was in, an Afghan man walks out of one of the doors.

I see on Life360 that my son’s phone is moving towards me.

I’m guessing he got the Life360 alert on the phone that said, “Dad is here.”

As I walk towards him my wife sees that he has my son’s phone in his hand. She snatched it from him and said, “that’s my son’s phone.”

At this point, the Afghan dude starts saying “I was bringing to you” in broken English.

He nervously starts explaining how he found the phone and was about to walk around to find the owner.

Obvious straight up lie.

What blew me away about this had nothing to do with the phone though.

I was amazed at how many Afghan families were tucked away into this one little neighborhood.

I asked someone that’s an elected official about this neighborhood, and his response was, “yeah man, it’s crazy, they moved all of the people out of that neighborhood to make room for these refugees.”

These were part of the refugees that were being housed at Quantico, which is about 20 mins from me.

I spent a couple years in Afghanistan. There is no proper vital records system, and there is no way to properly vet these people.

Unvetted illegal immigrants are in your neighborhood.

There’s a reason our government is importing them by the millions._; ৬/৫/২৪, ৭:০৭ AM
