The real insurrection was when a mob of rioters tried to break into the White House after setting St. John’s church on fire. At least 60 Secret Service agents were injured and the President and his wife and son had to be rushed to an underground bunker.
Basically impossible to drive at night without wearing sunglasses. These new headlights are blinding. Incredibly dangerous. Insane that this is allowed while so many more minor car design features are prohibited on safety grounds.
I used to love night drives. Midnight on the open interstate, soft green glow of the dashboard lights, the radio stations coming in and fading out gave an auditory sense of motion through space and the offerings varied by region. They have degraded the American roadtrip.
The other thing about the harsh color temperatures is those wavelengths also mess with the cellular signaling that regulates tear production, so your eyes get dry and that enhances the misery.
Reminder that Trump won Virginia in 2020 by ~60k votes and then all of a sudden weird things started happening like “misplaced” flash drives surfacing with just enough votes to put a former CIA officer over the top in CD-7 and then of course there was the “Fairfax Magic”
When I posted this screenshot pointing out that the vote dropoff in CD-1 between Biden and the Democrat congressional challenger was impossibly large (dropoff is usually 0.25-1%, here it was 30%), things started getting weird.
First, they started blatantly, adjusting the numbers on the Virginia State Board of elections website. I watched it happen in realtime, and posted about it. Here they showed the Democrat challenger blowing incumbent @RobWittman out of the water.
The historic St. Lucy-St. Patrick Church, completed in 1856, was torn down in Brooklyn this week to make way for apartments. The Roman Catholic Church sold it to developers last year for $12 million.
The development company that bought and tore down the church is Watermark Capital Group led by Joel Kohn, Moshe Rosenberg, and others.
Watermark Capital Group has also been involved with other church replacement projects, including a partnership with self-described "Avid church convertor" Yoel Werzberger on the replacement of the Parish of Sts Peter and Paul Roman Catholic Church with a 19 story apartment building.
I’m going to show you how I do my quick-er instapot version of one of my favorite French stews
First you want to rinse your stew beef and let it relax at room temperature for about 30 min. Some like to cut up a roast especially for this stew, but I have some scraps from the cow I put up a couple months back. Grassfed so very lean, we’ll fix that.
Traditionally lardons (a fattier type of bacon) are used to get the grease to sear the beef with but I’ve got some lard from @AcornBluffFarms that’ll be perfect. Get a few tablespoons of that in your insta pot and turn it on Sauté. Throw in the beef chunks.
Iran, an Islamic theocracy, is currently moving military equipment to Armenia, the oldest Christian nation in the world, to dissuade Azerbaijan, a 99% Muslim country with a secular dictatorship, from carrying out a genocide of Armenian Christians with weapons provided by Israel.
The Armenians are longtime allies of Russia, they’re even in the Moscow-led CSTO defense pact. Russia’s answer to NATO.
But Russian forces are tied up in Ukraine and hasn’t provided an effective security umbrella. So now the Armenians are doing exercises with the U.S. army.
Oh and Turkey, 2nd biggest military in NATO, is gearing up to support Azerbaijan and finish off the work they started when they murdered over a million Armenians from 1915-1917. They want a direct border with the Azeris so they can cut Armenia out of any gas pipeline deal.
Peter Hotez vaccinated his daughter to the gills, she developed severe autism, which he then cynically used to further his own career as a leading vaccine-promoter.
He offered no proof for his central claim that vaccines did not cause his daughters condition. Just assertion.
When Hotez does cite studies, it’s usually been ones done in European countries with far fewer vaccines on their schedules, and where BCG immunization (which is protective against some other childhood vaccine injuries) is also common.
He’s gotten tens of millions of dollars over the years from Bill Gates to fund his vaccine research.
Despite this patronage, and his media status as a “leading vaccinologist” Hotez has never actually created a successful vaccine.
