Some facts and reality you won't get from libtards or their lamestream media....

The Covid Scam (aka, the Scamdemic)

1. I've been using a kind of shorthand for referring to the dust masks that have been mandated as a Covid protection, calling them "K95" instead of N95 or KN95. One reader glommed onto that oddity and concluded nothing I said about these is correct. So let me be clear. Unless you have mask that filters out 100% of virus-sized particles, there is no mask that stops Covid. There's no dust mask anywhere close to having that ability.
   
   As a matter of intellectual honesty, never use a minor detail as an excuse to stay within your own echo chamber. Focus on the main point and the evidence behind it. Those who try to justify stupidity invariably do so through stupid and dishonest means. Finding the truth involves using your noggin in an honest way.
    
2. Wearing a mask made of cloth or any other fabric to stop Covid is like erecting a picket fence to stop mosquitoes. Yet, so-called "experts" keep repeating the fiction that it works. And for obvious reasons, they cannot provide a single scrap of evidence to support their claim. If these same people ran the Department of Defense, all of our submarines would be equipped with screen doors to keep the water out.
    
3. The mask mandaters, confronted with the fact that the pores in the mask are several times large than the Covid virus, now claim the masks stop an aerosol of saliva that contains the virus. They still have not explained why, if that is so, cars are not built with windshield wipers on the inside. Nor can they explain why, if the virus is so well contained in people's saliva, the test uses a nose swab instead of a saliva sample. Or why we call can't just spit it out to protect ourselves.
    
4. You probably already know that on 18 April, a federal judge struck down Brainless Biden's useless, illegal, superstitious, math-defying mask mandate for air travel. Hooray! Formal acknowledgement that 300 is bigger than 70 is a step away from the abject stupidity inflicted by the Biden administration. It seems that the heads of the major airlines not only can do second grade math but have also determined no jet or passenger car comes equipped with windshield wipers on the inside (ergo, the "saliva aerosol" rationale simply doesn't work).
    
5. Here's a very good article on the "vaccine" scam: https://www.theepochtimes.com/6-double-standards-public-health-officials-used-to-justify-covid-vaccines_4419141.html
    
6. Effective 15 May, Denmark is ceasing all promotion of the immunity-reducing jab. That's the experimental gene therapy that is hypermarketed as somehow being a vaccine against Covid. It appears that Denmark does not want to continue pursuing a population reduction target, at least not under the false pretenses that the population reducing jab is a "health" measure. Perhaps other countries will follow suit soon.

Stupid Socialists

It dawned on me recently that there is no other kind of socialist, they are all stupid else they would not be socialists. So providing examples of their astonishing stupidity is redundant. Thus, nothing to list here. If I decided to list examples of their bullying, intolerance, duplicity, and general insanity I would not have space for even .01%. So not going there, either.
 

The Coup

1. "An organization called True The Vote has been investigating since 2020 the illegal ballot harvesting operations that took place across six different states during the presidential election. And using their methodology of tracing cell phone ping data surrounding drop boxes, reviewing millions of minutes of surveillance footage, and interviewing the actual ballot harvesters themselves, they were able to determine that approximately 4.8 million ballots were likely submitted through the illegal use of ballot drop boxes." -- Epoch Times Special Report, 22 APR 2022.
   More findings are here: https://www.theepochtimes.com/t-ballot-harvesting  
    
2. An opinion on why the coup succeeded:
   
   Before speaking, President Trump often does not use his power to think. He is impulsive, rather than reflective, when deciding what to say.
   
   This is his greatest weakness. It is what made many people ignore his accomplishments. He also says things he has thought about, but not with intellectual rigor. For example, he said trade wars are easy to win. Launching a trade war is a "cut off your nose to spite your face" action and you lose as soon as you launch. Trade wars, in fact, are impossible to win. To conduct a trade war, you penalize your own people. Using a military analogy, let's say we wanted to win a war against Canada. If we conducted that by shooting our own troops, we could not possibly win. All Canada would have to do is just wait for us to run out of troops to shoot and declare "victory". Nothing changes, we just have a lot of dead troops.

   Basically, he lacks a skill set that comes with maturing as a teenager. Most notably missing in that skill set is impulse control. His unawareness of this and his consequent blunders of form (rather than function) are what made the coup possible. The socialists saw during the "debate" with "Earpiece Biden" that a Trump loss would be plausible, so they proceeded to overturn the election via fraud. And now we are all paying a terrible price.
    

3. Dinesh D'Souza has produced his own evidentiary documentary exposing how the 2020 Presidential election was stolen. Read more about it here: https://www.theepochtimes.com/documentary-will-prove-proves-rampant-illegal-vote-trafficking-in-2020-dsouza-says_4426541.html.

Other News

1. With Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter, the Alternate Reality Bullies have lost one of their primary weapons. It could even be used as a force for good, now. But don't get too giddy, yet. Musk, after all, is in the business of selling coal-powered cars that require huge amounts of lithium and cobalt. And he's become the world's richest man by pushing these environmentally damaging products. Perhaps he will develop a car that runs on hydrogen, thus eliminating the coal, lithium, and cobalt. But it's still a fossil fuel intensive thing to produce the fuel cells and of course the steel, plastic, and other materials are carbon-intensive to produce.
    
2. Libtarded celebrities are threatening to leave Twitter if Musk doesn't let it continue to be a tool of hatred, intolerance, and propaganda spewing. If they leave that would certainly improve Twitter, so good riddance. Now if only they would leave North America!
    
3. There is speculation that there aren't enough Republicans in the Republican Party to do what needs doing when Congress convenes after the November elections. After all, they failed to repeal the Unaffordable Care Act. Yes, but Paul Ryan was Speaker then and he was a disaster in many ways. So you can't use the failure to repeal the UCA as a benchmark.
   
   You can use the recent confirmation of an unqualified judge to the Supreme Court thanks to RINOs in the Republican Party. Not only is she unqualified, the hiring practices in that farce violate EEOC regulations. What difference does it make if Biden says he'll nominate only a white male or only a black female? Either way, it's racist and sexist. And illegal. On top of that, she's a radical whose rulings show very poor judgment. And still, some Senate Republicans backed her. That is not a good omen for what may happen in regard to removing Brainless and Kamala from office. Unless we sane people pressure nominal Republicans to act like Republicans (and do the same with Democrats, who should all be standing against Brainless and Kamala), an election "win" is meaningless.
    
4. You've probably heard Florida recently passed legislation that puts real teeth into election reform. Just as California leads other states into harmful, idiotic policies, Florida has a history of being the first to pass legislation that does massive good (right to carry laws come to mind). If other states soon follow, the USA will have honest, fair elections before the end of this decade. That would be a welcome change from the fake elections we have now. Read about the new Florida law here: https://www.theepochtimes.com/florida-gov-desantis-signs-bill-creating-nations-first-office-of-election-crimes-and-security_4428342.html
    
5. Early this month, Democrat Antonio Delgado became the 33rd House Democrat to "retire" from the House. That's a very big number of incumbents to say they are done with Congress. Unfortunately, most of the people stepping down actually are Democrats. And that shifts even more control of this abysmal party to the socialists.
    
6. A UPS Store owner saved a 90+ year old man from being scammed out of thousands of dollars. In this age of "woke" militants, it's good to see there are good people who actually do good for others instead of doing harm and pretending it's good.

It's now "a thing" to ignore the relevant and focus on the irrelevant, miss the big picture while putting undue emphasis on a small detail, and reaching conclusions before determining what really matters.

This way of perceiving the world has its advantages, such as:

• You spare yourself the effort of thinking.

• You can maintain tribe approval, if your tribe is one that has its own echo chamber and reality-averse narrative.

• You can "win" an argument with someone whose major point is correct, but they erred in some detail such as spelling "Muslim" as "Mulsin". It's obviously a typo, it doesn't mean they got their facts wrong.

For many people, these "advantages" are good enough. For people who want to be smart, knowledgeable, and honest, these "advantages" hold little appeal.

• One philosophy is that you have to "be right". So you defend the position of your tribe no matter how indefensible it is. An example is people who believe they are being good citizens by wearing masks to stop Covid. The problem is the pores in the material are huge compared to the virus and so masks are utterly useless toward that end.

• Another philosophy is that you are a learner, and thus you are open to new information even if it conflicts with existing ideas and even if "experts" and other judgmental people heap scorn on you instead of giving you their approval.

Which of the two philosophies is better? That depends on how much you value intelligence and what kind of people you associate with. If you value intelligence but the people you associate with abuse you for doing so, then the obvious solution is to associate less with such people and more with open-minded people.

Does this mean you should associate only with people who agree with you? Not at all. That just puts you into an echo chamber. Diversity of views is what you really want. If someone disagrees with you and gives a rational explanation, it could mean your view is wrong. Or it could just mean your view is different.  If you have a learner's attitude, you will be able to extract what is good, helpful, useful, etc., into your own knowledge base and viewpoints. That is a great way to boost brainpower.

• Holding a yard sale or garage sale, converting clutter to cash. This ties you up for a whole day, lets strangers case your place, and probably forces you to work for less than minimum wage.
• Buying at flea markets and retail sales, then reselling on eBay or Amazon. You'd better have a lot of space to store inventory and shipping supplies. This is a very bad waste of your time, too, if you had intended to make money at it.
• Renting a room. This can become very complicated, very fast. Most people who do this don't make enough on it to cover the costs involved. You can make extra money this way, but you need a really good renter who will be a responsible housemate.
• Driving for Uber or doing other time-consuming gig economy menial tasks using your own property or equipment.
• Doing handyman projects. So, you're going to do this unlicensed and uninsured? You hope to get work by underpricing the pros? This kind of thing needs to be done as a full-fledged business, though not necessarily full-time.
• Day trading, casino gambling. pool hall hustling, or other non-value add, high-risk, luck-based gigs. These are often the path to crushing debt.
• Doing the MLM thing with Amway, Shaklee, etc. Most people who get into one of these end up with a bedroom full of products that they can't sell. These companies typically have good products, but the products are grossly overpriced to permit paying all the levels of people involved.

What is the common denominator in all of these ventures? They hold the allure of easy riches or at least easy, instant cash. The all have hidden costs. And it's those costs that nail you. Before going forward with a side gig, take the time to determine what all the costs are. What inputs are needed to do this? What about wear and tear on my home (in the case of renting) or my car (in the case of being an Uber driver)?

You most definitely can make money with a side gig. But most people lose money on side gigs, because they don't think through how to make it profitable.

Bits of information include your telephone number, name and address together, political or religious affiliation, and names of children or pets.

Types of items include credit offers (often a scam in itself, but a credit offer may include a plastic "credit card" that can actually open a line of credit), surveys, and contests.

While it's not likely someone is rummaging through your recycle bin, this does happen. It happens even to people who aren't particularly wealthy. With enough information, a crook can run up far more debt against you than you could ever pay off.
