Wynn Bruce, climate activist dies after lighting himself on fire outside Supreme Court.

NY Post: Wynn Bruce, climate activist dies after lighting himself on fire outside Supreme Court.

A climate activist who lit himself on fire on Earth Day outside the United States Supreme Court Building has died, according to reports.

Wynn Bruce, 50, of Boulder, Colorado, died Saturday, a day after he set himself ablaze in Washington, D.C., the Metropolitan Police Department told Fox News.

The incident happened around 6:30 p.m. on the plaza in front of the court building.

He was airlifted to a local hospital, where he died.

A Facebook page belonging to a person named Wynn Bruce said he was a Buddhist and a climate activist.

Thank you for your climate sacrifice, Mr. Bruce. I can already tell the air and water is cleaner.

John McCain died again.

AL.com: Utah’s Orrin Hatch, longest serving GOP senator in history, dies at 88.

Orrin G. Hatch, the longest-serving Republican senator in history who was a fixture in Utah politics for more than four decades, died Saturday at age 88.

His death was announced in a statement from his foundation, which did not specify a cause.

A staunch conservative on most economic and social issues, he also teamed with Democrats several times during his long career on issues ranging from stem cell research to rights for people with disabilities to expanding children’s health insurance. He also formed friendships across the aisle, particularly with the late Democratic Sen. Edward M. Kennedy.

"Staunch Conservative"? The writer uses that term like they know what it means.

"Teamed with democrats"? It was a sprint across the aisle between Hatch and McCain on who could genuflect faster before the dems.

THE documents were first leaked in a cyber attack on the European Medicines Agency website. More than 40 megabytes of classified information from the agency’s review were published on the dark web, and several journalists including those at the British Medical Journal were sent copies of the leak.

In the U.S., the Food and Drug Administration had previously agreed to withhold the documents and their jaw-dropping revelations from the public for 75 years, until Texas District Judge Mark Pittman ordered their release within eight months, stating it was ‘of paramount public importance’.

Most alarmingly of all, the documents show that in the trials there were at least 1,223 deaths reported in the first 28 days after injection.

Another staffer jumps from VP Harris' ship.

Investing (via Archive): U.S. Vice President Harris' chief of staff leaving, will be replaced by top adviser.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris' chief of staff is leaving the administration and will be replaced by top adviser Lorraine Voles, Harris said on Thursday, the latest shake-up in the vice president's office.

The departure of Tina Flournoy comes less than a month after Harris announced that her deputy chief of staff would leave in May.

"Tina has been a valued advisor and confidant to me and tremendous leader for the office," Harris said in a written statement announcing the change. "Tina is the consummate public servant and I will continue to rely on her advice, counsel and friendship."

Voles, who previously served as Vice President Al Gore's communications director and as an advisor to Hillary Clinton, was hired by Harris last summer.

Flournoy's exit marks the latest from Harris's team. On March 21, Harris's National Security Adviser Nancy McEldowney said she is stepping down from her role. The White House said she will be succeeded by her deputy, Philip Gordon.

Harris's communications team, which had a turbulent first year marked by several messaging failures, has also had several high profile departures.

OH NO! NO MORE MASKS!

Face-Diaper Wearing MaskTards are unhinged today. GOOD!

FOX News (via Archive): Federal judge blocks mask mandate for public transportation.

A federal judge on Monday voided the Biden administration's mask mandate for travelers using public transportation such as trains and airplanes.

The mandate from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention applies to people as young as 2 years old, and had been set to expire a number of times but was recently extended to May 3 before Monday's ruling.

The ruling from U.S. District Court Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle, came in a case brought in Florida federal court by Health Freedom Defense Fund, Inc. and frequent air travelers Ana Daza and Sarah Pope against the administration. Judge Mizelle determined that the mandate violated the Administrative Procedure Act by being outside the scope of the CDC's authority, was "arbitrary" and "capricious" and not going through the required notice and comment period for federal rulemaking.

Attention please: Everything going on in the world must come to a grinding halt because some people on a Christian chartered airplane sang something that upset Ilhan Omar.

NY Post: Ilhan Omar slammed for criticizing video showing people singing Christian songs on plane.

Rep. Ilhan Omar has come under fire for deriding a video showing passengers singing Christian songs aboard a plane – and wondering what might happen if her Muslim family also held a “prayer session” on a flight.

The Minnesota Democrat shared the video in which two people are seen singing the spiritual songs in the aisle on an EasyJet flight, the Daily Dot reported.

“I think my family and I should have a prayer session next time I am on a plane. How do you think it will end?” the Muslim “Squad” member wrote.

“I think my family and I should have a prayer session next time I am on a plane. How do you think it will end?” the Muslim “Squad” member wrote.

Gee, I dunno Ilhan. How many Christians flew airplanes into buildings? How many Christians have committed horrific and violent acts on mosques, Jews and Christians? How many Christians have beheaded Moslims? How many Christian gangs are raping women in European countries?

Omar's tweet and some of the replies:

 
Oh noooooez, Fifty Shades of Whey! Sounds like you left your "safe space."
Phil Galbraith gets it.
Loresia would "throw a fit." How would we know it's any different from your her normal behavior? 
Martin: Add another Ukraine flag emote to your account.
Wilfredo gets it.
Yarnie, the answer is simple. Don't fly on chartered Christian flights.

What's Omar doing on a chartered Christian flight, anyway? Just looking for something that "offends" her so she can Tweet about it? Of course, if the chartered flight had denied her boarding she'd be screeching about "Islamaphobia! Discrimination!"

Easily offended thin-skinned libs, if you don't like the airline you're flying on - start your own airline.

Five Hillary Clinton Associates Are Taking the Fifth in Russia Hoax Prosecution.

Breitbart: Durham: Five Hillary Clinton Associates Are Taking the Fifth in Russia Hoax Prosecution.

Five associates of Hillary Clinton and her presidential campaign are invoking their Fifth Amendment rights and refusing to cooperate with Special Counsel John H. Durham, according a filing in federal court revealed later Friday in Washington, DC.

The revelation emerged in a motion filed by Durham to oppose the efforts of defendant Michael Sussmann and the Clinton campaign to withhold some documents from evidence by asserting attorney-client privilege.

Sussmann is charged with lying to the FBI in 2016 when he informed the FBI about a fraudulent link between then-candidate Donald Trump and the Russian government via Alfa Bank. Sussmann allegedly presented himself as a concerned citizen, and hid the fact that he was working for the Clinton campaign.

In the filing, Durham noted that while one witness, identified as “Researcher-2,” was granted immunity from prosecution in exchange for testimony, “at least five other witnesses who conducted work relating to the Russian Bank-1 allegations invoked (or indicated their intent to invoke) their right against self-incrimination.”

 

Let's hope and pray that "Researcher-2" is under protective custody.

Easter Monday.

Christianity.com: What is Easter Monday and Why Do We Celebrate It?

Easter Monday may not be the first thing you think of when you remember the Easter calendar, but it highlights an important part of the Easter story: what happened after Jesus got out of the tomb?
[.]
Easter Monday is a continuation of the joy of Easter Sunday. On Easter Monday, Christians celebrate that Jesus is alive, and therefore, we can find new life in Him. Easter Monday is celebrated differently in various parts of the world and within different denominations.
[.]
What Follows Easter Monday?

When the resurrected Christ first appeared to the disciples, Thomas was not with them. The disciples told him what they saw, but Thomas said he would need to see Christ’s nail-pierced hands for himself to believe. A week later, Jesus revisited the disciples. This time, however, Thomas was with them. Jesus showed Thomas his scars, and he believed. Jesus said, “Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

‘Cracker Jill’ version of ‘Cracker Jack’ to promote women’s sports introduced from Pepsi.

NY Post: Pepsi unveils ‘Cracker Jill’ version of ‘Cracker Jack’ to promote women’s sports.

PepsiCo announced this week it is unveiling new characters named “Cracker Jill” as part of its “Cracker Jack” brand in an effort to promote the accomplishments of women in sports.

“After more than 125 years as one of sport’s most iconic snacks, Cracker Jack is adding a new face to its roster, with the introduction of Cracker Jill to celebrate the women who break down barriers in sports,” PepsiCo said in a press release announcing the new characters from Frito-Lay. “Tapping into the brand’s rich history with America’s favorite pastime, Cracker Jill™ comes to life through five different representations on a series of special-edition bags, which will be available at the start of this year’s baseball season in professional ballparks across the country and through a donation of $5 or more to the Women’s Sports Foundation.”

The company says it will be donating $200,000 to the nonprofit Women’s Sports Foundation to “help girls and women across the country reach their potential in sport and life.”
[.]
The company also released a video of singer Normani belting out a “new spin” on the classic baseball melody “Take Me Out to the Ballgame.”

“Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jill,” Normani sings. “No one can stop you if you have the will.”


Pepsi added that the team heading up the campaign is “fueled by powerful female and non-binary voices.”

This product seems sexist and part of the oppressive heteronormative patriarchy. I mean, where is TransJack?

NIH Admits it ‘Suppressed’ Wuhan Lab Genetic Data.

Technocracy: NIH Admits it ‘Suppressed’ Wuhan Lab Genetic Data.

On June 5, 2020, a Wuhan University researcher requested that NIH retract the researcher’s submission of BioProject ID PRJNA637497 because of error. The Wuhan researcher explained ‘I’m sorry for my wrong submitting,’” Empower Oversight said in a statement (pdf) on March 29.

BioProject ID PRJNA637497 is also referred to as Submission-ID SUB7554642. Three days later, on June 8th, the NIH declined the researcher’s request, advising that it prefers to edit or replace, as opposed to delete, sequences submitted to the SRA,” EO reported. SRA refers to the Sequence Read Archive (SRA) data resource made available by NCBI, and it “stores raw sequencing data.”

But then, on June 16, 2020, NIH officials reversed themselves and deleted the genetic sequencing data, as requested by the Wuhan researcher. That researcher was quoted by EO as explaining to NIH: ‘Recently, I found that it’s hard to visit my submitted SRA data, and it would also be very difficult for me to update the data. I have submitted an updated version of this SRA data to another website, so I want to withdraw the old one at NCBI in order to avoid the data version issue.’

“After some discussion about what would be deleted, the NIH concluded the discussion by reassuring the Wuhan researcher that it ‘had withdrawn everything.’”

Asked for a response to Fine’s claim the information was not deleted, EO Founder and President Jason Foster told The Epoch Times that NIH’s actions ensure the CCP virus genetic sequencing info is only available to the few individuals possessing its “accession number,” which effectively deletes the data from open access and research.

NIH documents released with Empower Oversight’s report demonstrate that the sequencing data was deleted from public view by the NIH at the request of the Wuhan researcher,” Foster said.

Our report also details emails between professor Jesse Bloom and the NIH’s Steve Sherry from October 2021 that clearly indicate NIH retained copies ‘for archival purposes.’ Yet the emails demonstrate that NIH refused to share that data in an open, transparent scientific process sought by professor Bloom.

FDA Recalls Disney-Branded Hand Sanitizers After Carcinogens Found.

Epoch Times (via Archive): FDA Recalls Disney-Branded Hand Sanitizers After Carcinogens Found. 

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recalled two Disney-branded and themed hand sanitizers after traces of cancer-causing chemicals and methanol were discovered, it announced.

FDA testing found that a Mandalorian-branded hand sanitizer and a Mickey Mouse-branded hand sanitizer contained benzene and methanol, respectively, according to the federal drug regulator in an April 1 news release.

Disney vendor Best Brands Consumer Goods imported the two lots, which were produced by a third-party manufacturer, said the FDA.
[.]
Labels uploaded by the FDA show that the two products are both made in China. The FDA recall notice doesn’t list where the products were made.
[.]
Benzene is classified as a human carcinogen, the FDA said, adding that “substantial exposure to benzene can occur through inhalation, oral, and skin and it may result in cancers including leukemia and blood cancer of the bone marrow and blood disorders, which can be life-threatening.”

"Labels uploaded by the FDA show that the two products are both made in China. The FDA recall notice doesn’t list where the products were made." WTF?

Hey Kids! Slather this benzene-laden sanitizer all over your skin! It keeps you safe from covid! Wooooo Hooooo!

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot says carjackers do what they do because they feel unloved. Head of Chicago's film office beaten by three carjackers described as, "children".

Daily Mail: Chicago film office chief appointed by Mayor Lori Lightfoot is rushed to intensive care after being beaten up by gang breaking into his car - as mayor says carjackers strike because they feel 'unloved'.

Kwame Amoaku, 51, was appointed by Mayor Lori Lightfoot in July 2019 to head the city's film office.

On Wednesday morning he was attacked and beaten up outside his home, and his car stolen by 'three kids'.

Amoaku was taken to hospital where he was admitted to ICU and treated for head injuries, but is expected to recover.

Chicago police say that carjackings are up three percent, and 57 percent of those arrested are juveniles.

On Saturday Lightfoot told a forum of young people, assembled to discuss crime reduction strategies, that carjackings were because youth 'feel unloved'.

In February she blamed the rise of carjackings on remote learning during the pandemic.

The head of Chicago's Film Office was rushed to intensive care after being beaten by three car thieves described as children - as the very mayor who appointed him claimed carjackers only struck because they feel unloved

Kwame Amoaku, 51, was attacked twice by three people just before 8am Wednesday morning outside his home in the centre of Chicago, near the National Museum of Mexican Art.
[.]
Chicago police reported that Amoaku saw three young men inside his car as he walked toward it at 7:46am, on the 2100 block of West 22nd Place.

He confronted the intruders, who then attacked him and fled in a gray Dodge Caravan that was waiting nearby.

Moments later, they returned to the scene, beating Amoaku a second time and robbing him, before driving off in his car.

'This AM I was attacked, beaten, and my car stolen by three kids,' he wrote on Facebook.

But were the "child" carjackers wearing MAGA hats?

Maybe Cory Bernaert, Robert Thollander, Nicolette Solomon and other gay Florida teachers need to Learn To Code?

Washington Examiner: Florida teacher upset he can't share gay experiences with kindergartners.

A kindergarten teacher in Florida spoke out against the state's Parental Rights in Education Act Tuesday, stating how upset he is he won't be able to share the experiences of his and his partner's lives with his students.

"It truly makes me feel like I am not trusted as a professional. I know my kindergarten standards through and through, and nowhere in our curriculum does it have anything about teaching sexual orientation or sexual identity," Cory Bernaert said while speaking with MSNBC. "I am afraid for my colleagues, myself, and my students."
[.]
Educators need to discuss their home lives with students to build meaningful and productive relationships, he argued. 

"I'm afraid." Afraid of what? Specifics, please. "I'm afraid" is now the new default statement for Liberals who feel their personal behavior overrides everything and everyone else.

NBC News (Archived): 'I cannot teach in Florida': LGBTQ educators fear fallout from new school law.

Last month, a group of parents in Orlando, Florida, demanded “consequences” against sixth grade science teacher Robert Thollander. His crime? Thollander acknowledged his marriage at school.

“He married a man. This alone is not an issue. Sharing the details … with all his 6th grade students is the issue,” the parents wrote in a letter sent to their children’s school board, which was shared with NBC News. “It was not appropriate. Many of these students felt very uncomfortable with the conversations and shared this with their families.”
[.]
...the incident prompted Thollander to make this school year his last after 11 years of working in Florida as a teacher.
[.]
Nicolette Solomon, 28, taught fourth grade in Miami-Dade County for more than four years. As HB 1557 passed through the Legislature, she quit. Solomon, a lesbian, said that after months of having taught virtually through the coronavirus pandemic, the law was “the straw that broke the camel’s back.”

Good. QUIT! Teachers are replaceable. There are many teachers whose goal and desire is to do their jobs without injecting their personal lives into a classroom discussion with children.

I'll be fair here; I wouldn't want children hearing about the personal, sexual lives of heterosexual teachers either.

Cory, Robert and Nicolette and other teachers who feel they're being oppressed by the Florida law should quit their jobs and Learn to Code.

Biden to release 1 million barrels of oil per day from strategic reserve.

Washington Times: Biden to release 1M barrels of oil per day from strategic oil reserve.

President Biden will release a record 1 million barrels of oil per day from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in a bid to contain soaring energy prices that are rapidly becoming a political headache for Democrats ahead of November’s midterm elections.

“This action will increase our immediate supply and meet our immediate energy needs and address our lack of supply as a result of [Russian President Vladimir] Putin’s actions,” a senior administration official told reporters.

The official called the scale of the release “unprecedented,” noting that the U.S. has never released more than 1 million barrels per day. The release will continue every day for six months, accounting for a total of 180 million barrels of oil.
[.]
It’s unclear if releasing 1 million barrels a day will make a major dent in rising oil prices. The U.S. consumes about 20 million barrels of oil a day, so the amount released by Mr. Biden will account for roughly 5% of the oil consumed per day.
[.]
So far, tapping the reserve has done little to bring down prices at the pump, which have spiked since the U.S. and its allies placed limits on Russian energy exports as punishment for Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.
[.]
Mr. Biden also blamed Mr. Putin, while acknowledging earlier this month his executive order banning Russian energy imports will bring more pain at the pump for Americans.

Poll reflects more Americans worried about energy costs and availability. SHOCKING!


The Hill (via Yahoo): More Americans worried about energy costs, availability.

More Americans are concerned about the availability and affordability of energy now than they have been in a decade, according to a new survey from Gallup.

The poll found that 47 percent of Americans had a great deal of concern over the cost and availability of energy. Meanwhile, 30 percent said they worry a fair amount, 17 percent said only a little and 5 percent said not at all.

One year ago, 37 percent of people had a great deal of concern about energy. That figure has more than doubled since 2020, when 22 percent of Americans had a great deal of concern about the issue, Gallup reported.

Similar levels of concern over energy have not been seen since 2012, when 48 percent said they worried about energy costs a great deal, according to the survey giant.

Gallup's poll also found more people found the energy situation in the U.S. to be very serious.

Specifically, 44 percent of U.S. adults said the situation was "very serious." Another 46 percent called it "fairly serious" and 10 percent said it was "not at all serious." Last year, 32 percent of respondents described the situation as very serious.

A driver crashed a car into a homeless encampment in Salem, Oregon, early on Sunday morning, killing four people and injuring three including the driver, authorities said.

Police arrested Enrique Rodriguez Jr, 24, on Sunday evening. He was charged with four counts of first-degree manslaughter, second- and third-degree assault and six counts of reckless endangerment.

Eliot Cutler, former Carter Admin OMB official facing child pornography charges.

NY Post: Former Maine gubernatorial candidate busted with kiddie porn.

A lawyer who ran for governor of Maine twice was arrested on child pornography charges Friday.

Eliot Cutler, 75, faces four counts of possession of sexually explicit material of a minor under 12 after investigators found 10 files of children being exploited on his computer, according to The Portland Press Herald.

Culter [sic] may face additional charges as cops continued to look through terabytes of data on devices seized from two of the former Independent candidate’s homes, the article said.

Officials arrested Cutler at his farm in Brooklin even as the probe continued, prosecutors said. He was being held on $50,000 bail.

Given the incredibly high bail of $50,000 cash, set on a Friday night after banks are closed no less, it is unclear whether the bail will be posted,” Cutler’s attorney Walt McKee told the newspaper.

Cutler, a former member of President Jimmy Carter’s administration, ran for governor in 2010 and 2014 after working as a Washington DC attorney.

He resigned from his post as president of the board of the Lerner Foundation, which encourages rural students to go to college, on Wednesday, following a raid on one of his homes.

Aspirin linked to lower risk for death in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 says study from George Washington University.

From UPI

Something as simple as aspirin may help lower the risk of death in hospital patients who are fighting a tough case of COVID-19, a new study found.

George Washington University researchers analyzed data on more than 112,000 patients hospitalized with moderate COVID-19 at 64 health systems in the United States from Jan. 1, 2020, through Sept. 10, 2021.

Compared to patients who weren't given aspirin, those who received aspirin within the first day of hospitalization had a 1.6% lower risk of death, and also had a lower risk of blood clots.

[.]

"This is our third study and the culmination of 15 months of work looking at aspirin use in hospitalized COVID-19 patients," said lead researcher Dr. Jonathan Chow, an associate professor at the university's School of Medicine.

"We continue to find that aspirin use is associated with improved outcomes and lower rates of death in hospitalized patients," Chow said in a university news release. "What's more, it's low-cost and readily available, which is important in parts of the world where more expensive therapeutics might not be as accessible."

I won't be updating daily like I did before. It's going to be hit or miss, mostly miss because there's other things I'd rather be doing. 

Big Shout Out to 90MFT (Mike), Dave (The Right Way), Irish, Jess, Zack, Odysseus, IMAO & others (sorry, I didn't have time to look at everyone) for keeping me on their Blog Roll or Fave List. It means a lot!
