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.”

Easter Sunday

From Christian Bible Reference:

Have a safe and enjoyable Easter, whatever you do, wherever you are. Remember those who are alone and those who are separated from their loved ones.

 

Remember those less fortunate. We all have reasons to be incredibly grateful for what we have.

A Blessed Easter to all.

‘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?

Cruise ship the Ruby Princess, which has a fully vaccinated only policy for both staff and passengers, suffered a COVID outbreak before docking in San Francisco.

According to its website, Princess Cruises requires people show both proof of full vaccination and evidence of a negative COVID test before boarding the ship.

The company did not say how many people tested positive but said those infected were “isolated and quarantined while monitored and cared for by our shipboard medical team.”

“As with all Princess itineraries, this cruise is operated as a vaccinated cruise, as defined by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,” the company told the San Francisco Chronicle. “Guests and crew vaccination rates were at 100 percent.”

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.

The Guardian: Four killed after car crashes into homeless encampment in Salem, Oregon.

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.

In a statement, authorities said Salem police believe “alcohol may have been a contributing factor”. It was not immediately clear if Rodriguez had an attorney.

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."

Apocalyptic bird flu "could" kill half of us. Blame chickens, says expert.

The Birds

NY Post: Scientists say an apocalyptic bird flu could wipe out half of humanity.

The coronavirus has killed over 365,000 people worldwide in just five months — but that’s nothing compared to what could be coming if humans don’t clean up their act when it comes to chickens.

In his new book, “How to Survive a Pandemic,” Dr. Michael Gregor, a scientist and physician who once testified for Oprah Winfrey in her “meat defamation” trial, warns that an apocalyptic virus emanating from overcrowded and unsanitary chicken farms has the potential to wipe out half of humanity.

Greger, a vegan, writes that “In the ‘hurricane scale’ of epidemics, COVID-19, with a death rate of around half of one percent, rates a measly Category Two, possibly a Three. … The Big One, the typhoon to end all typhoons, will be 100 times worse when it comes, a Category Five producing a fatality rate of one in two. … Civilization as we know it would cease.”

While environmentalists warned earlier this month that the world would face another stronger epidemic if we continue to have contact with wildlife, Gregor places the blame squarely on chickens.

Chickens never liked us.

Gov Timmy Walz's 1:30AM presser.

I did stay awake long enough watching Timmy Walz's 1:30AM presser earlier this morning.

Newsweek: Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz 'Fully Mobilizes' National Guard for The First Time in State's History.

During a press conference Saturday, Gov. Tim Walz told reporters that the worsening violence in Minneapolis was "no longer in any way about the murder of George Floyd. (It only took him four days to recognize this. He's improving! - Drake)
[.]
...Walz said: "There is no mayor in America that has the resources to push back against an organized attempt to destabilize civil society with no regard for life or property.

Walz basically said "we" .... "we" being his administration and the admins of St. Paul mayor Melbin Carter and Minneapolis mayor Soy Boy Man-Child Jacob Frey ... were unprepared, overwhelmed and didn't respond quickly enough. Isn't this always the pattern of how liberals react during a crisis? 

Walz also seemed to finally grasp the concept that rioters and looters - many who traveled here from out of state - have nothing in common with those who are peacefully mourning and protesting the death of George Floyd.

Frey spoke for a few minutes. He was a cheerleader, saying, "we're better than this. This is not what Minneapolis is about." His performance would have been more believable if he'd had some pom-poms shouting, "siss-boom-bah, yay team." He said nothing substantive.

They..."they" being Walz, Frey, Carter and the entire Liberal political establishment in Minnesota ... saw the spark, did nothing, allowing the fire to spread. Then, when it became an inferno, they realized action needs to be taken.

KSTP has continual coverage.

"Please go home." Wow. That's the best Timmy can muster? I received far sterner warnings from my 70-year old Grandma when I was a kid.

CNBC: Pentagon puts military police on alert to go to Minneapolis.

The Pentagon has taken the rare step of ordering the Army to put several active-duty U.S. military police units on the ready to deploy to Minneapolis.

Soldiers from Fort Bragg in North Carolina and Fort Drum in New York have been ordered to be ready to deploy within four hours if called, according to three people with direct knowledge of the orders.

Medical examiner concludes George Floyd didn't die of asphyxia.

Washington Examiner: Medical examiner concludes George Floyd didn't die of asphyxia.

In the charges brought against former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin on Friday, a new finding shows the county medical examiner concluded the death of George Floyd was not a result of asphyxia or strangulation.
[.]
The full report by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's office is pending but so far has found "no physical findings that support a diagnosis of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation."

Floyd's underlying health conditions included coronary artery disease and hypertensive heart disease. The report says the underlying health conditions, combined with Chauvin's restraint and any possible intoxicants in Floyd's system, likely contributed to his death.
[.]
Floyd's detainment revolved around an account of forgery when a local business owner thought he had handed him a counterfeit bill to pay for his purchase.

Amy Klobuchar declined to prosecute Derick Chauvin, officer at center of George Floyd's death after previous conduct complaints.

DEM U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (MN)

The Week (via Archive Yahoo): Amy Klobuchar declined to prosecute officer at center of George Floyd's death after previous conduct complaints.

George Floyd's death in police custody is renewing criticism of Sen. Amy Klobuchar's (D-Minn.) prosecutorial record. Before she became a senator and a top contender for former Vice President Joe Biden's vice presidential spot, Klobuchar spent eight years as the Hennepin County attorney, in charge of prosecution for Minneapolis. And while in that position, Klobuchar declined to prosecute multiple police officers cited for excessive force, including the officer who kneeled on Floyd's neck as he protested, The Guardian reports.

Ex-Minneapolis police officer Derick Chauvin saw at least 10 conduct complaints during his 19-year tenure before he was fired Tuesday, according to a database that documents complaints against police. In particular, he was involved in the shooting death of a man who had stabbed other people before attacking police, as well as some other undisclosed complaints. Klobuchar did not prosecute Chauvin for the first death, and he was later placed on leave when he and other officers shot and wounded a Native American man in 2011.

As The Washington Post noted in March, Klobuchar "declined to bring charges in more than two dozen cases in which people were killed in encounters with police" as Hennepin County attorney. Instead, she "aggressively prosecuted smaller offenses" that "have been criticized for their disproportionate effect on poor and minority communities," the Post continues. And as Klobuchar undergoes vetting to become a possible vice presidential candidate, that track record is being scrutinized and criticized once again.

While there are other stories similar to the above, what's interesting is that the original story, reprinted at Yahoo has been removed. This story appeared on Yahoo on May 28, and in one day they spike the story? Why?

Klobuchar now is busy back-peddling her past failures in prosecuting abusive behavior and tactics used by police officers. She's still hoping she'll be Joe Biden's vice-presidential candidate. She should give up on that dream.

Instead, her eight years as Hennepin County attorney needs to be examined and she needs to be held accountable for her failures. This won't happen, she's a Democrat. She'll skate free by playing her Liberal Privilege Card.

Weak Mayor Jacob Frey says Minneapolis is strong as hell.

Market Watch: Minneapolis mayor to Trump: ‘Weakness is pointing your finger at somebody else during a time of crisis’.

As protests in response to the death of George Floyd rocked Minneapolis for a third night on Thursday, President Trump called the city’s mayor “weak” for failing to keep his community under control.

“A total lack of leadership,” the president wrote on Twitter late Thursday, adding that if “the very weak Radical Left Mayor, Jacob Frey,” didn’t “get his act together,” then the commander-in-chief was going to send in the National Guard.

“Weakness is refusing to take responsibility for your own actions,” [Frey] countered. “Weakness is pointing your finger at somebody else during a time of crisis.”

“Donald Trump knows nothing about the strength of Minneapolis,” he continued, raising his voice. “We are strong as hell. Is this a difficult time period? Yes. But you better be damn sure that we’re gonna get through this.”

Gee, I don't know...Minneapolis doesn't appear all that 'strong' right now. It appears weak, overwhelmed, lacking leadership and a plan to deal with this at all levels. At least Frey demonstrated what he and Liberals do best and so often: Point Fingers and Blame Others.

George Floyd's death happened in your back yard, Jacob. What responsibility has he taken, accepted or admitted? None, which is the embodiment of liberalism and weakness - not that there's much difference between the two.

Sure, "we're gonna get through this." Until next time when the same thing happens.

I'm guessing Frey was asleep, was awakened and told of President Trump's Tweet, rolled out of bed at 1:15AM and decided to have an impromptu, albeit brief, news conference.

It also needs to be noted Frey wasn't wearing a face mask, something he said is mandatory for everyone in Minneapolis over two-years of age. This can only mean Frey doesn't adhere to his own order or is under the age of two. My money is on the latter.

Why is Jacob Frey still the mayor of Minneapolis?

According to The Left, "the ultimate bearer of responsibility rests with the person at the top". This standard is applied to those who have a political ideology that differs from theirs. They never apply this standard to themselves.

In the case of George Floyd, his death happened in Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey's backyard. How does he remain in office? He's a Democrat.

Off the top of my head, a few DEM individuals and Leftist organizations, none who have called for Frey to resign: 

Joe Biden, Amy Klobuchar, Ilhan Omar, MN Gov Tim Walz, Hillary Clinton, DNC Chair Tom Perez, Kamela Harris, Cory Booker, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Pete Buttigieg, Tina Smith (Minnesota's "unknown other senator"), CAIR Minnesota, St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter, the ACLU, Mike Bloomberg, BOB O'Rourke, John Hickenlooper, Eric Swalwell, Kirsten Gillibrand, Julian Castro, Andrew Yang, Tom Steyer, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Sheila Jackson Lee, Ayanna Pressley, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Al Franken, the SLPC, the NAACP, BLM, Barack and Michelle Obama, Rahm Emanuel, Debbie Dingell, The Minneapolis Star Tribune, former MN Gov Mark Dayton,  MN Rep. Betty McGollum, MN Rep Dean Phillips, MN Rep Angie Craig, MN Rep Collin Peterson.   .

No members of the Minneapolis City Council.

No African American Civic leaders in Minneapolis.

No loudmouth celebrities.

No talking heads on MSM/Liberal Media.

No religious leaders.

No liberal-leaning site, blog or - that I could find - social media (Twitter, FB, etc).

I'm thinking if it had been a Republican mayor, all the above voices would be deafening calls for an immediate resignation.

Would a Republican mayor still be in office? One who ran on a platform of reforming excessive police force, who gave a lot of what appeared good performances (acting) and promising improved results, but who instead failed epically?

Frey failed Minneapolis. In two-plus years in office, he's delivered on none of his promises. He'll walk away from the death of George Floyd blemish-free.

Breitbart: Biden Accused of Farting During Virtual Event with Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf.

Joe Biden is being accused of audibly farting during a campaign livestream on Wednesday.

Biden was appearing with Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf and as the candidate was speaking, he shifted in his chair, and a strange noise was heard.

Joe succumbs to the Brown Note. It probably doesn't take much. Not as atomic as Eric Swalwell's toxic expulsion, but it sure sounds...eeehhhyeah...wet and runny.

Illinois DEM Gov Pritzker says, "People deserve to breathe."

Chicago Sun-Times: Gov. Pritzker calls George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis ‘a call of action’ for all: ‘People deserve to breathe’.

“People deserve to breathe,” Pritzker said.

Why the governor of Illinois would comment on something that occurred in Minneapolis, Minnesota is puzzling. Perhaps he wants to deflect attention away from all of his failures.

It's nice knowing that J.B. thinks people deserve to breathe and hasn't yet revoked or suspended that basic human right.

The intellect of some Liberal politicians is astounding. I'm sure the people of Illinois are relieved hearing that their governor thinks they deserve to breathe.

Biden says he "will beat Joe Biden" in the election.

Free Beacon: Biden: I’m Going to Beat Joe Biden.

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden on Friday appeared to tell CNBC he will defeat himself in the November election.

"I’m prepared to say that I have a record of over 40 years and that I’m going to beat Joe Biden," Biden said.

The Good News is we have a full six more months of gaffes like this to look forward to from Joementia.

There isn't any panic buying and hoarding of popcorn, is there - - - yet?

Minneapolis DEM Mayor Jacob Frey puts on a good show, feigning concern and compassion over George Floyd death.

WBUR News (via Archive): 4 Police Officers Fired After A Black Man Dies In Minneapolis Police Custody.

[Jacob Frey] the mayor of Minneapolis says four Minneapolis Police Department officers involved in the death of a black man in police custody have been terminated. The FBI is investigating the incident.

A 10-minute video widely circulated on social media and referenced by Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey shows a police officer using his knee to pin the man's neck to the ground for multiple minutes.

Here's Soy Boy Frey's well-rehearsed response. I enjoy his measured moments of silence as he feigns concern, grief, muted anger and incredulity.

It's an award-winning performance by Frey. You know he practiced it in front of a mirror for...hours, maybe?

Frey's comments on his Twitter page: 

"Being Black in America should not be a death sentence." Is Frey the Mayor of America or of Minneapolis, which, yes - is part of America. You get my point, Frey is passing accountability onto America, not taking ownership of what happens in his own back yard. Nice try, Big Fail.

Frey's statement reads just like a template and it should considering the deaths of Black men and women by overly-aggressive, hair-trigger police officers in Minneapolis which becomes more common every day.

Minneapolis taxpayers must have a lot of extra cash sitting around as the city keeps paying out settlements - or is sued and loses the case - of several hundred-thousands to millions of dollars. What is the price of a human life? Well, ask the Minneapolis City Council. They seem to have a knack in this one aspect of city finances.

Here's the video of Mr. George Floyd being detained.

Advisory: Not for children, graphic, language.

In a real world, by now, Minneapolis Soy Boy Frey would have been forced out of office and Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo would have resigned.

Frey and Arradondo promised their administration and policies would be in a new, bold, different direction from their predecessors former mayor Betsy "Hitler" Hodges and former PD Chief Janee Harteau. Well, ya know - - campaign promises and words. Accountability? They've never heard the word.

It unnecessary to mention that Minneapolis is, and has been, a deeply entrenched Blue City for years, but I will lest anyone forget. Will Minneapolis' Black community continue supporting and electing Democrats?

Frey needs to go, but he won't resign - not unless a loud public vocal reckoning forces him to. The four police officers were fired, but that's not Frey taking responsibility. No, that's Frey doing what DEMS do, blame others. (Not that the officers involved aren't to blame, they are).

Considering Frey is part of the political party that so often defaults to the, "the person in charge must go" mentality, it's not surprising he doesn't apply the same standard to himself. The Minneapolis Liberals won't hold him to the standard that they apply to their political opponents. But...ooooohh...but if this had involved a Republican mayor? Gone in less time than the blink of an eye.

Arradondo needs to go. Can voices grow loud enough to oust both Frey and Arradondo? We can hope, but it's unlikely.

The UN calls for accurate and reliable Covid19 information.

The UN is on the Covid-19 case and here to save us? We can all rest easy now.

@ UN Twitter:

How do I get a cushy job on the UN Twitter Writing Team? I can write better platitudes than that.

When is Professor Neil Ferguson available to discuss his flawed and wildly inaccurate Imperial College model and studies? That might be a good place to start.

We really can't expect truth from the UN or its Secretary-General António Guterres, a NWO Globalist (search it out!). Hard to say which organization is more illegitimate, unscrupulous and opaque, the UN or WHO. Flip a coin.

Maybe Dr. Anthony Fauci can explain his four-month long contradictions and failures.

Gutting our CDC and NIH of employees who put their political ideology ahead of science is required if anyone ever expects accuracy on Covid or any other public health matter. Surely these people exist. Why not a massive housecleaning of both agencies? So what if there's a DEM political uproar. That's just be too bad. BooF'gHoo.

Is it possible to finally exile the posers and those with subversive and seditious agendas?

Queen's Brian May recovering from Sheer heart attack.

Newshub: Queen rocker Brian May rushed to hospital after suffering a heart attack.

Queen's Brian May has revealed he is currently recovering from surgery after suffering a heart attack.

The 72-year-old had a heart attack while he was recovering from a buttocks injury he got while gardening earlier this month.
[.]
The result of an angiogram following the heart attack revealed he had three arteries that were "congested and in danger of blocking the blood to my heart", May said.

"It was about 40 minutes of pain in the chest and tightness," he said of the heart attack.

"To cut a long story short, my wonderful doctor drove me to the hospital himself and I had an angiogram."

May went on to have open heart surgery and three stents were put in place.

"I couldn't feel they had been in here. I couldn't feel anything and I still can't, it's been amazing."

"Sheer Heart Attack" from News of the World.

We wish Mr. May a fast and full recovery!
