Everything is at stake. If you’re a woman, if you care about women, if you respect women, you know that this is a disgraceful, disgraceful judgment that they made.” Wait a minute......Who already HAS a majority in Congress? Oh yeah, a wedge issue......Nevermind.

Yes, or Congress needs to put it in federal law if they want consistency in the country, but I still think they will prefer it remain a wedge issue and leave it to the states.......

https://nypost.com/2022/06/23/a-very-specific-cheat-sheet-reminds-biden-how-to-act/ Yeah - It's for real......(Watch the video) Pretty sad to see.....Even IF he is cognitive enough, you cannot deny he is struggling to keep dialogue going.

I would have taken the $855,000 instead......

Still wondering....Who's really in charge.......

SF was leaning towards being Speedy Gonzales from Saturday Morning cartoons at 8. Would have needed an intra-species specialist to help identify as a Mexican mouse........Who was fast......

Parents today: "They let their child off the leash for a minute?????"

Well - Good for you! Stay there. Power generation doesn't seem to be the issue here either. I think the problem is in the higher population areas.....but what do I know?

https://nypost.com/2022/06/16/familys-hidden-message-on-dads-gravestone-sparks-controversy/ It’s a grave situation. A family put an encoded message on their father’s gravestone as a way to honor him, but the cemetery staff finds it offensive. At the Warren-Powers Cemetery in Polk, Iowa, the quote on Steven Paul Owens’ stone seems harmless upon first glance — until the epitaph is revealed. The first letter of each line on his tombstone reads “f–k off.” When speaking to WIBW news, the family said that this was a phrase that Steven often used in a joking manner. “It was definitely his term of endearment. If he didn’t like you, he didn’t speak to you. It’s just who he was,” daughter Lindsay Owens told WIBW news. A lasting memory!! 🤣

Drugs, rehab, infidelity must run in the Biden family.......Although SF doesn't remember hearing much about this (other) kid and her diary left behind at a half-way house ahead of the 2020 election...... 'I remember having sex with friends @ a young age; showers w/ my dad (probably not appropriate),' she wrote in a January 2019 entry https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10896941/Florida-woman-Ashley-Bidens-diary-investigation-selling-it.html

https://www.al.com/news/2022/06/dr-anthony-fauci-tests-positive-for-covid.html Dr. Anthony Fauci has tested positive for COVID-19. He is not considered a close contact to the president and has only mild symptoms. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health, and Chief Medical Advisor to President Joe Biden, tested positive for COVID-19 on a rapid antigen test. He is fully vaccinated and has been boosted twice. Haven't seen the Masked Boy Wonder in while, was wondering what he's been up to......

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10913639/Children-infected-three-viruses-time-COVID-measures-worn-immune-systems.html Children are being infected with up to THREE viruses at a time because COVID measures have worn down their immune systems and made them vulnerable to illnesses usually only caught in winter, experts warn Health experts across the United States have told The Washington Post that they are seeing children with multiple viral infections at once As the weather warms doctors usually see a decrease in the prevalence of influenza and other viruses associated with the common cold Now some children are arriving at their doctor's office with three viral infections at a time Experts believe that it is a result of COVID pandemic policies, which meant children were not exposed to the normal array of viruses By HARRIET ALEXANDER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM PUBLISHED: 00:40 EDT, 14 June 2022 | UPDATED: 01:27 EDT, 14 June 2022 Children are turning up in doctors' clinics infected with as many as three different types of viruses, in what experts believe is the result of their immune systems being weakened from two years of COVID lockdowns and mask-wearing. Medical staff have come to expect a surge in cases of flu and severe colds during the winter. But they are reporting that there is not the usual downturn as summer approaches - and they suspect it could be due to the strict pandemic practices. Furthermore, some of common strains of the flu appear to have disappeared, flummoxing scientists. Thomas Murray, an infection-control expert and associate professor of pediatrics at Yale, told The Washington Post on Monday that his team was seeing children with combinations of seven common viruses - adenovirus, rhinovirus, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), human metapneumovirus, influenza and parainfluenza, as well as the coronavirus. Some children were admitted with two viruses and a few with three, he said. 'That's not typical for any time of year and certainly not typical in May and June,' he said. CDC data obtained by DailyMail.com showed lower overall levels of influenza infections among young children - but an abnormal surge starting several weeks ago during the beginning of the summer months, normally a dead period for respiratory infections. Other strange patterns have emerged. The rhinovirus, known as the common cold, is normally not severe enough to send people to hospital - but now it is. RSV normally tapers off in the warmer weather, as does the influenza, but they have not. And the Yamagata strain of flu has not been seen since early 2020 - which researchers say could because it is extinct, or perhaps just dormant and waiting for the right moment to return. 'It's a massive natural experiment,' said Michael Mina, an epidemiologist and chief science officer at the digital health platform eMed, told the Post. Mina added that the shift in what time of year Americans are seeing infections is likely due to the population's lack of exposure to once-common viruses - making us vulnerable when they return. 'When you have a lot of people who don't have immunity, the impact of the season is less. It's like free rein,' he said. The virus can therefore 'overcome seasonal barriers.' Peter Hotez, a molecular virologist and dean for the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, agreed that the norms are shifting, and the seasonal patterns no longer apply. 'You would see a child with a febrile illness, and think, 'What time of the year is it?' ' he said. The shifts are also making hospitals rethink their approach to RSV - a common virus that hospitalizes about 60,000 children under five each year. It can create deadly lung infections in particularly vulnerable youngsters. Treatment is with monthly doses of a monoclonal antibody, which is normally only available from November to February. Now concerned scientists are tracking the virus carefully, in case they suddenly need to obtain the drug. Ellen Foxman, an immunobiologist at the Yale School of Medicine, whose research explores why viruses can make one person very sick but leave another relatively unharmed, said that babies born during the pandemic are likely to be of great interest to scientists. 'Those kids did not have infection at a crucial time of lung development,' she said. Foxman added that much has been learned, by the population as a whole as well as scientists, about viruses and how to prevent infection over the last few years. 'We need to carry some of the lessons we learned forward,' she said. Anyone still thinking SARS - COv-1,2 was NOT an experiment started in 2019?

https://nypost.com/2022/06/13/gas-prices-too-high-its-all-part-of-bidens-plan-to-eliminate-fossil-fuels/ If you think gas prices are high now, just wait. They’re going much higher, thanks to President Biden’s “irreversible” plan to eliminate fossil fuels. Truth is, your pain at the pump is being planned and executed by the White House. Over the weekend, buyers paid $5 a gallon or roughly $100 bucks to fill the tank. Gas prices have doubled since Biden took office. J.P. Morgan analysts predict $6 a gallon by August. And experts warn this crisis will continue even after Biden’s term ends because he’s dismantling fossil fuel production. When Biden was running for president, he promised to shut down oil producers: “No ability for the oil industry to continue to drill, period.” He pledged to put the country on “an irreversible” path toward “doing away with” fossil fuels. On Day One as president, Biden shut down the Keystone pipeline, sending a message of no new pipelines anywhere, period. In the months that followed, he stopped all sales of leases to drill on federal lands or offshore, meaning zero new leases allowing oil to be brought out of the ground. And in September, House Democrats introduced legislation to stop banks from lending money or investing capital for new or expanded fossil fuel production. That legislation hasn’t passed, but it sent a clear message. The oil industry is being shut down. Now, as outrage over gas prices pushes Biden’s poll numbers down, the president is trying to shift the blame. He told Jimmy Kimmel last week that oil producers refuse to expand operations. “Why aren’t they drilling? Because they make more money not producing more oil.” He accused oil companies of deliberately “making things worse for American families.” Sorry, Mr. President, that doesn’t pass the laugh test, even on late-night TV. It’s sheer demagoguery. Biden confessed his actual plan just six weeks ago, when gas was already more than $4 a gallon. He marveled at the “incredible transition” of the US economy away from fossil fuels. “God willing, when it’s over,” we’ll be “less reliant on fossil fuels.” In a congressional hearing the same week, Biden’s interior secretary, Deb Haaland, repeatedly declined to agree that gas prices are too high. Climate zealots in the Biden administration want high prices to deter the public from buying gas. Biden’s media toadies are singing the same song. High gas prices will force us to make “good choices,” claims Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson. “The right long-term solution, for the sake of the planet, is not increasing the supply of fossil fuels.” It’s to compel consumers to switch to electric vehicles. It’s one thing to choose electric vehicles. Soviet-style compulsion is another matter. EVs are about one-third more expensive than gas-powered cars. That doesn’t matter to out-of-touch Democrat Debbie Stabenow. The Michigan senator brags about driving past gas stations in her EV, not caring how high prices are. But what’s the average family supposed to do, take out a mortgage to afford an electric vehicle? Another problem: EVs generally go about 200 miles on a charge and less in cold temperatures, per Consumer Reports. About a quarter of charging stations are broken at any one time. Imagine running low on charge and driving into a charging station that’s out of order. When EVs are ready for prime time, the Wall Street Journal’s Allysia Finley concludes, consumers will decide to buy them. In the meantime, people are feeling pain at the pump. And Team Biden is rolling out the blame game. Playing defense, a gas station outside St. Paul, Minn., put up a sign telling its customers, “We hate our gas prices too.” That’s credible. Gas stations are not to blame for today’s prices, according to an analysis in Barron’s. House Democrats eyeing the polls are trying to fault “price gougers” and urging the Federal Trade Commission to punish oil companies that charge “excessive” prices. It’s all theatrics. The FTC has concluded several times that gas prices are the result of market conditions, not illegalities — rising demand and inadequate supply. Who’s to blame for inadequate supply? Worldwide, there are many factors, but here in the United States, blame drivers with Biden bumper stickers. They heard candidate Biden announce his “irreversible” plan, and they voted for him anyway. Let's go Brandon!!

True. SF can believe that eventually electric powered cars COULD POTENTIALLY EVENTUALLY have a huge presence in the market, but the current President and his cronies want to force that product on us way before the technology and infrastructure is even close to being in place to support it. More importantly - Why in the wide wide world of sports would the US, while sitting on the world's largest reserves of crude oil that would provide an estimated 400 years of crude, simply want to keep that oil in the ground? Again - there is no way large cities will be able to supply enough electricity to charge those EV's.

Oh - come on, thats funny!!

I stand corrected - SF Should have said "out from under it's influence".

Another "mass shooting" (killed 3, injured 2 and an LEO during his arrest) that while briefly mentioned in the news story is quickly buried beneath the Uvalde shooting and the the Buffalo shooting and few details are released......The current mass shooting didn't fit the "hate-filled crazed gunman with an assault rifle" narrative which (IMHO) is why it's only mentioned as a lead into the other recent shootings..... FYI - the yet unnamed perp was an Hispanic male, 23 who was utilizing a handgun. https://wcyb.com/news/nation-world/suspect-under-guard-after-killing-3-coworkers-at-maryland-machine-plant-police-say-west-virginia-23-year-old-hispanic-man-columbia-machine-inc-smithsburg-maryland-washington-county-victims?fbclid=IwAR1DC0lIDnIjN14_N4OjK87_cg4JWQj8QcCuCRKyYZGTJgRF4gjyUMnOACQ
