Apparently a free box of N95 masks with each purchase

If you stop by an MLCC store, you can get another.

Trivia: the misnamed "Spanish Flu" was traced back to a US army base mess cook in Kansas who passed it along to all of the soldiers who then deployed to Europe, the first ones arriving in Spain.

All the commitment of Donald Trump to all of his wives.

With six teams out of nine making the playoffs, that is not too high a bar.

A match made in Heaven.

Agreed. He is the exact opposite of what the Elks need, so we ought to get ready for a tumultuous season of drama there.

Would love to see him arrested in the middle of this farce.

Shoppers irked mask rule not enforced in Winkler amid Omicron threat - Winnipeg Free Press

The biggest problem in the US currently is the timidity of the Biden administration and the way the GOP has gamed the judicial system. This has led people like Trump, Stone, Miller and Flynn to believe that they are untouchable.

Dallas QAnon ‘Cult’ Is Now Drinking Terrifying Chemical Cocktail, Family Says -Reuters QAnon acolytes in Dallas are now drinking toxic chemicals from a communal punch bowl, according to the family of a woman who joined the Texas “cult” that’s waiting for the supposed resurrection of President John F. Kennedy and his late son, JFK Jr. Numerous members of the Leek family told the Dallas Observer that the woman, who reportedly abandoned her husband and children in Delaware last month to follow Trump-supporting QAnon leader Michael Brian Protzman to Dallas, has been quaffing a mixture containing chlorine dioxide—industrial bleach—which she apparently distributes among the group. “She was proud to tell us that she was the one mixing it up and giving it to everybody,” one of her relatives told the outlet. The woman got into the QAnon movement back in 2018, said her son, Sean Leek, who was unable to be reached by The Daily Beast on Monday. While the family didn’t specify why the group was drinking the potent chemical mixture, they said their relative is an ardent anti-vaxxer. “She’s always been into, you know, natural remedies, getting aluminum out of deodorant, things like that,” Leek said in a Dec. 10 interview. “But that led to anti-vaxxing, and anti-vaxxing led to QAnon.” According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), chlorine dioxide has “not been shown to be safe and effective for any use, including COVID-19, but these products continue to be sold as a remedy for treating autism, cancer, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis and flu, among other conditions, despite their harmful effects.” It is sold online under various names, including “Miracle Mineral Solution,” “Miracle Mineral Supplement,” “Master Mineral Solution,” and “Chlorine Dioxide Protocol.” Ingestion can lead to respiratory failure, potentially fatal abnormal heart rhythms, life-threateningly low blood pressure, acute liver failure, and the rapid destruction of red blood cells. Members of a Florida family hawking chlorine dioxide through their Genesis II Church of Health and Healing in Bradenton were arrested by federal agents in 2020. They reportedly earned more than $1 million from sales of their “miracle” elixir.

Omicron Is Now The Dominant COVID-19 Variant In The U.S. NEW YORK (AP) — Omicron has raced ahead of other variants and is now the dominant version of the coronavirus in the U.S., accounting for 73% of new infections last week, federal health officials said Monday. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention numbers showed nearly a six-fold increase in omicron’s share of infections in only one week. In much of the country, omicron’s prevalence is even higher. It’s responsible for an estimated 90% of new infections in the New York area, the Southeast, the industrial Midwest and the Pacific Northwest. Since the end of June, the delta variant has been the main version causing U.S. infections. As recently as the end of November, more than 99.5% of coronaviruses were delta, according to CDC data. Scientists in Africa first sounded the alarm about omicron less than a month ago and on Nov. 26 the World Health Organization designated it as a “variant of concern.” The mutant has since shown up in about 90 countries.

Steve Bannon Threatens to Take Over Entire U.S. ‘Election Apparatus’ Former Trump official turned right-wing provocateur Steve Bannon took things a step further Monday morning, pledging to one day soon take over the entire “election apparatus” in the United States. “We are going to get it decertified,” Bannon said, referring to the 2020 presidential election, which the hotly contested MAGA character erroneously insists Trump won. “And hey, all they want to talk about all day long is Omicron and 6 January. And we love it,” he continued. “Cuz nobody cares. We care because we care about the legitimacy of our process. We are a constitutional republic. And guess what, we are going to take over the election apparatus.” Bannon further noted that “American citizens” will aid him in the proposed election system takeover. “I understand you don’t think that’s democracy because the globalists have done the misdirection plays and had everyone looking the other way,” he added, speaking to MSNBC producers he thinks breathlessly watch his daily War Room: Pandemic podcast.

This is called "the Donald Trump" initiative. Elizabeth Warren and Corey Booker have contracted COVID despite being double-vaccinated, but are experiencing only mild flu symptoms. Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker Test Positive For COVID-19 | HuffPost Latest News

That would be difficult to enforce, but if you require vaccination to enter any public indoor space and actually enforce it, that would make a difference. Throwing people in jail when they ignore the regulations would also work. The precedent is already there: caregivers who do not adequately provide for dependents have been successfully prosecuted as have those who give deliberately misleading information leading to sickness, injury or death.

Those who have had the booster shot are not guaranteed total immunity, but have a 99.9% probability that if they do contract any of the COVID variants, the only effects they will experience are those of a mild 'flu. I'll take that any day.

Anti-5G necklaces found to be radioactive Necklaces and accessories claiming to "protect" people from 5G mobile networks have been found to be radioactive. The Dutch authority for nuclear safety and radiation protection (ANVS) issued a warning about ten products it found gave off harmful ionising radiation. It urged people not to use the products, which could cause harm with long-term wear. There is no evidence that 5G networks are harmful to health. The World Health Organization says 5G mobile networks are safe, and not fundamentally different from existing 3G and 4G signals. Mobile networks use non-ionising radio waves that do not damage DNA.

Generals Warn Of Divided Military And Possible Civil War In Next U.S. Coup Attempt "Some might follow orders from the rightful commander in chief, while others might follow the Trumpian loser," which could trigger civil war, the generals wrote. Three retired U.S. generals warned in a chilling column Friday that another coup attempt in America in 2024 could divide the military and plunge an unprepared nation into civil war. “With the country still as divided as ever, we must take steps to prepare for the worst,” wrote former Army Major Gen. Paul Eaton, former Brigadier Gen. Steven Anderson and former Army Major Gen. Antonio Taguba. As the nation nears the first anniversary of the Capitol riot, the generals are “increasingly concerned about the aftermath of the 2024 presidential election and the potential for lethal chaos inside our military, which would put all Americans at severe risk,” they wrote in The Washington Post. “In short: We are chilled to our bones at the thought of a coup succeeding next time,” they added. The next time could be far more cataclysmic if members of the military throw in with those who want to overthrow the government, the generals warned. “Without constant maintenance, the potential for a military breakdown mirroring societal or political breakdown is very real,” the trio noted. A “disturbing number” of veterans and even active-duty military members took part in the attack on the Capitol. The “potential for a total breakdown of the chain of command along partisan lines ... is significant should another insurrection occur,” they added. In a “contested election, with loyalties split,” some might “follow orders from the rightful commander in chief,” while other “rogue units” might “follow the Trumpian loser ... it is not outlandish to say a military breakdown could lead to civil war,” the generals warned. The “lack of military preparedness for the aftermath of the 2020 election was striking and worrying. Trump’s acting defense secretary, Christopher Miller, testified that he deliberately withheld military protection of the Capitol before Jan. 6,” the generals noted. That can’t happen again, they emphasized. Military leaders can’t wait for elected officials to take adequate action to prepare for the next time. “Not a single leader who inspired” the last attempt has even been “held to account,” the generals noted. The Pentagon must act now to reenforce “unity of command,” and order an immediate “civics review” for all members — uniformed and civilian — on the Constitution and electoral integrity, the generals urged. And in a particularly dark scenario, the generals recommended that the Defense Department “war-game the next potential post-election insurrection or coup attempt to identify weak spots.” Everyone, they urged, must “show more urgency.” Generals Warn Of Divided Military And Possible Civil War In Next U.S. Coup Attempt | HuffPost Latest News

No doubt there are people in the department of Health that know exactly how to stem the problem. What we do not have is an administration wiling to do the rights things and risk alienating their yellow-dog supporters.

Who cares?

Roger Stone is one of the people that I hope gets sent to jail for 20 years- arrogant, stupid and narcissistic.
