Chicago’s Lightfoot touts teacher decked
out in full PPE gear: ‘Cleaning

out in full PPE gear: ‘Cleaning
up a bloody crime scene?’ 0 replies
Public schools in Chicago have finally reopened, but with a major twist: Apparently, some teachers are adorning themselves with so much COVID protection gear that they look like forensic pathologists investigating a crime scene.
Case in point: In celebration of the reopening of the city’s schools, Mayor Lori Lightfoot posted photos last Monday from one local classroom, and in one of the photos the teacher could be seen decked out in what looked like a hazmat suit.
In addition to the hazmat suit, the teacher also had on gloves, a face shield and of course a face mask.
An MSNBC panel engaged in some over-the-top histrionics while bitterly lamenting the new Texas law that, according to the left, could signal the end of Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion throughout the country.
Signed by Gov. Greg Abbott in May, the law bans abortions in Texas upon detection of a fetal heartbeat, which can occur as early as six weeks.
Solutions-oriented panelist Elie Mystal, a “justice correspondent” for the far-left Nation magazine, called for the Biden administration to “go buck wild” and, among other things, more or less deploy into Texas physicians willing to perform abortions during the conversation embedded below in two parts,
If you’re the type of person who boasts “gender pronouns” in your social media profiles and trust big-government bureaucrats to run your life, chances are high you are among the enraged zealots who’ve been throwing a hissy fit this weekend.
For it was early this weekend on Friday that thousands of young men and women gathered tightly at the Virginia Tech’s Lane Stadium for the Hokies’ opening game and jumped in unison as the classic Metallica song “Enter Sandman” was played.
146 years ago today, Democrats attacked a Republican barbecue in Clinton, Mississippi murdering 4 former slaves and 5 white Republicans.
Democrats then in the following days slaughtered another 50-100 African-Americans.
For some reason, you don’t hear much about this massacre these days.
Here is more on this historic massacre, via Mississippi Encyclopedia.
Freedmen first began voting in Mississippi in 1867, and the 1875 election promised to continue the incorporation of black men within the state’s political process. With polls set to open on November 2, the Mississippi Republican Party planned political rallies on September 4 at Utica and Clinton in Hinds County and at Vernon in nearby Madison County.
An anonymous Las Vegas mother alleges that in a fourth-grade classroom, a substitute teacher reportedly attached her child’s mask to their face with tape.
After an alleged incident inside a classroom involving face coverings, the mother of a 9-year-old child is asking for the dismissal of a substitute teacher from the Clark County School District in Nevada.
The mother talked to FOX5 on the understanding that her identity and face not be revealed. She was concerned that her son’s anguish might be exacerbated at school, but she also wanted other parents to be aware of what is taking place at Reedom Elementary School in Mountain’s Edge.
Bette Midler says women everywhere should sing a new tune in the bedroom to protest new, strict anti-abortion laws like the one in Texas.
“I suggest that all women refuse to have sex with men until they are guaranteed the right to choose by Congress,” the famed actress and singer tweeted Thursday.
The idea, though, might not be original with Midler.
Nancy Sinatra told Midler on Twitter that, “My dad actually suggested that decades ago.”
One commenter told Midler, “Did you know you’re my Shero?”
Actress Rosanna Arquette, however, was not so upbeat about Midler’s not so modest proposal.

Twin toddler boys who were left for nine hours in a hot car outside a daycare center in Georgia likely died of heat stroke, according to a recently released coroner’s report.
Brayden and Bryson McDaniel, 20 months old, were in rear-facing car seats in their parents’ SUV after one of the parents likely forgot to drop the children off at the Sunshine House Early Learning Academy day care and went to work, said Richland County Coroner Naida Rutherford in a statement Thursday.
The brothers were found unresponsive at the end of the day when one of the parents showed up at 5:30 pm to pick them up Wednesday.
University of Nebraska football has long been one of the most patriotic programs in America.
So it was perhaps fitting that the school paid tribute to first responders and military members who responded to the 9/11 terror attacks 20 years ago, unveiling new patriotic uniforms the team will wear next weekend against the University of Buffalo in Lincoln.
A professionally-made video released by the university this week features football player Damian Jackson wearing the special uniform, carrying a U.S. flag, while leading a crowd of people down a street in the historic Havelock District of town.
Presidents are cool.
Barack Obama was so cool he was dubbed “The Chosen One,” and the media, as he once said, got all “wee-weed up” whenever he delivered his poetic prose.
“Decider” George W. Bush handily defeated two Democrats — even though he was widely despised and mocked by the MSM — because he won another more important contest: Who would you rather have a beer with? More Americans preferred the one-time party boy over Al “Lock Box” Gore and John “Flip Flop” Kerry. Donald Trump enjoyed the same huge edge over Hillary “Cough Cough” Clinton.
The truth doesn’t mind being questioned, but a lie doesn’t like to be challenged: White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki offered a fine example of that observation Wednesday by refusing to discuss that damning July 23 phone call — leaked audio of which shows President Joe Biden knew well in advance that Afghanistan’s army was falling before the Taliban and that the situation was dire.
“The perception around the world and in parts of Afghanistan, I believe, is that things aren’t going well in terms of the fight against the Taliban,” he told Afghan President Ashraf Ghani. “And there’s a need, whether it is true or not,
Last week, Amherst College announced that its students will be subject to double-masking and to COVID tests every other week throughout the fall semester. Indoor dining services will be shut down, and the size of gatherings severely restricted.
Students, all of whom were already required to be vaccinated, will spend non-class time in their dorm rooms and may leave campus only in a handful of defined emergency situations. One of these is apparently going to the bank, though what a bunch of would-be rowdy undergraduates who can’t hit up the local dive bars or have a coffee will need money for is a mystery.

The Biden administration this week signaled that it is eyeing a United Nations small arms treaty that critics claim will lead to an international gun registration plan — including for individual American gun owners. Two years after former President Donald Trump withdrew from it, a top arms diplomat at the State Department told the global body that the current administration is swinging behind the Arms Trade Treaty.
“I have come from Washington, D.C., this week to take the floor on the agenda item Treaty Universalization to underscore the continuing commitment of the United States to responsible international trade in conventional arms,” William Malzahn said at the

WASHINGTON -- After announcing last month that they were expecting, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and his husband Chasten are sharing their first family photo with not one, but two newborns.On Saturday Buttigieg, the first openly gay Cabinet secretary, Tweeted a picture of the couple with what appears to be twins."Chasten and I are beyond thankful for all the kind wishes since first sharing the news that we're becoming parents," he said. "We are delighted to welcome Penelope Rose and Joseph August Buttigieg to our family."
Misty Todd has used unemployment benefits to pay bills since losing her convenience-store job in March last year. But the 37-year-old Las Vegas resident is unsure how she’ll afford rent, groceries and essentials for her two-month-old daughter after this weekend, when federal unemployment assistance will end for millions of Americans. Her partner, Varick Jones, 42, who worked at a restaurant, will also lose his benefits. Their job searches have been unsuccessful so far. “We were surviving off unemployment,” Todd said. “I don’t know what I’m going to do. “I don’t have a job and no way to pay my rent
At this time last year, the Wuhan coronavirus was claiming around 1,000 American lives per day. It seemed to me that, absent a sudden and sharp decline in that number, Joe Biden would be our next president.
It must have seemed that way to Biden and his top advisers, as well. During presidential debates that occurred a little less than a year ago, Biden ripped Trump for his handling of the pandemic. The death count was the centerpiece of this attack.
So what’s the daily death count now, more than seven months into the Biden administration and with a majority of Americans vaccinated?
Corrupt. Incompetent. Pathological. Criminal. Treasonous.
Those are just a few of the (printable) adjectives that aptly describe the illegitimate gang of idiots currently running our country. Joe Biden, the so-called president, is nothing more than a marionette controlled by a gaggle of career bureaucrats and academics, none of whom has ever contributed anything substantial to our once vibrant society. Indeed, they are nothing more than destroyers, power-mad ideologues who use a demented old grifter as a mouthpiece while they dismantle, piece by piece, our once great Republic. Globalism is their ultimate goal

Melania Trump wants nothing more than to avoid another term as first lady, according to a Sunday report, as her husband inches closer and closer to another White House bid. 'Being first lady again is not what she wants,' a person who had a close relationship with Melania when she was first lady told CNN. 'For her, it was a chapter – and it's over, and that's that.' Several people, according to the Sunday article, claim Melania has 'zero desire' to return to the White House or continue any public political life.
What's with the bizarre campaign against Ivermectin?
It's not just that the FDA has put out a quackish tweet (shown here by AT contributor Dr. Brian Joondeph, M.D.) scolding viewers that they are not horses or cows. That's in reference to the fact that in some high-dose forms, ivermectin is used as a horse dewormer, begging the question about its effectiveness when it is dosed and formulated properly as a human medical treatment for COVID, prescribed off-label. The news reports repeatedly call ivermectin a dangerous drug, implying that all uses of the drug are dangerous, even when taken properly.
Two utterly fascinating facts about COVID
31 replies
I learned two facts today, one about COVID’s survival rate and the other about eye-opening medical information hidden within the bowels of the CDC. (snip) Dr. Ioannidis concluded that most locations around the world have an IFR [infection fatality rate] that’s less than 0.20%. Additionally, protecting vulnerable populations and treating people with appropriate medicines may further reduce mortality rates. (snip) Dr. Ioannidis, therefore, decided to look at age-related survival rates and he came up with survival numbers that, if more widely known, would bring this mad panic to an end.
President Joe Biden got elected largely because millions of voters found him caring and empathetic. Mr. Nice Guy, the argument went, would be a welcome relief from the sometimes abrasive and combative President Donald Trump. Yet as the president retreated from Kabul, to the beat of the Taliban’s drummer, Nice-guy Joe morphed into Mean Mr. Biden.The president’s true colors now shine with searing clarity. He has exposed himself as calculating, callous and cruel.Reuters reported Tuesday that Biden spoke by phone on July 23 with his then-counterpart in Kabul. According to a leaked official transcript,
The Delta variant is driving a surge in the coronavirus pandemic in the US as the Labor Day weekend begins, with new daily cases four times higher than they were a year ago despite rising vaccination rates. On Friday, the national seven-day rolling average of daily new cases was nearly 163,000, an increase of more than 300 percent from Labor Day weekend 2020, according to a DailyMail.com analysis of Johns Hopkins data. Hospitalizations also doubled, and deaths were up 80 percent from last Labor Day. The figures came despite 62 percent of the total US population now having received at least one shot of COVID-19 vaccine.
Thousands of Afghan refugees evacuated in the United States’ withdrawal from Afghanistan are bracing for new challenges in America, countless adjustments to a new life in a new place and ongoing fear and grief for those left behind. For refugees arriving in Seattle, add to that the sky-high cost of housing. (Snip) Few apartments offer enough space for newly arriving families, and only a limited number of landlords are willing to rent to tenants without rental histories or social security numbers, aid groups say. In the new effort to resettle Afghans, “housing is going to be the predominant issue,” said
