Peas, Pod…You Know the Thing!

A few days ago, a friend of mine mentioned that she had heard Biden would be forced out of office before the end of August.  She was concerned what would happen if or when Kamala became president.  My response was, “Who cares?” Now, don’t get me wrong, I obviously care.

Identity Crisis

I’m a little confused and there’s something I can’t quite figure out.  So, I’m going to talk it through and see if I can make sense of it.  Let’s say that I’m a man, which I happen to be.  But, let’s say I don’t think I’m a man.  Let’s say

The Nuremburg Suggestions

I was watching a “discussion” on Facebook yesterday about the rise of the “delta” variant.  One person stated that forcing people to be injected with an experimental drug went against The Nuremburg Code.  For those who get their information by looking at memes, I guess it’s a nice comeback. But

Tylenol COVID+Flu

There’s a huge push by governments and Big Pharma to get everyone vacksinated against COVID-19.  The efforts continue even as evidence mounts indicating that the vackseens don’t really work as well as promised. Unvacksinated people continue to get sick.  Some die but many, many more recover on their own. But
