this: Long COVID is fake!

COVID fanaticism birthed many disasters, from school closures to lockdowns to the apotheosis of Anthony Fauci — but none was so utterly mad as the idea of “long COVID,” a mysterious condition that dogged sufferers months after infection and was used to justify the endless continuance of every draconian rule. Now a new Australian study shows the idea was always wrong — just in time for (God help us) International Long COVID Awareness Day. Dr. John Gerrard, Queensland’s chief health officer, oversaw a study of 5,000-plus Australians with fatigue, cough and other symptoms associated with long COVID; these sick Aussies had taken COVID tests with both positive and negative results.

President Joe Biden mourned the death of Nex Benedict on Thursday, a nonbinary teen in Oklahoma who killed herself following an altercation with other students.
As the Associated Press (AP) reported, an autopsy determined that Dagny Benedict, who went by the name Nex, died by suicide from a toxic mix of pharmaceutical drugs the day after a supposed scuffle with three girls in the bathroom at their high school in Owasso, Oklahoma.
“Benedict was seen by a school nurse but was sent home and police were not contacted until Sue Benedict, the student’s grandmother and legal guardian, phoned later in the day from a hospital emergency room,
Shocking footage captured on a cell phone shows the moment a vicious fifth-grade female student beat up a little boy on a school bus while the woke school the children attend kept the footage from the victim’s father.
As Real News Michiana (RNM) reported, the incident occurred in Niles, Michigan, on March 4 and involved Ballard Elementary School students.[snip] The father also told RNM the school district has not allowed him to view video taken by cameras mounted within the school bus and that the girl who beat his son has had several discipline issues in the past, including being banned from riding the bus
A Boeing whistleblower was found dead in his truck in the parking lot of his South Carolina hotel after he failed to show up for the second part of his testimony for a bombshell lawsuit against the company, a report said Monday.
John Barnett, 62, had raised safety concerns at the airline’s factories and provided his first testimony just days before he was found dead from an apparent “self-inflicted” gunshot wound, the Charleston County coroner told the BBC.
Barnett’s attorney, Brian Knowles, told TMZ that he had explicit doubt about the circumstances of his death, and called the self-inflicted gunshot “alleged.”

On Sunday evening, July 30, at around 8:00, I was in a supermarket near Roosevelt and Canal in Chicago’s South Loop, an upscale shopping, health club and movie hub on the edge of downtown. The area has been regarded as safe and on the upswing since the late 1990s and is even being considered for a new White Sox park or Bears stadium.
While entering the store I noticed scores of African American teenagers lining the street. At first, I thought that there was some kind of festival or parade. But there was already a city policeman guarding the entrance.
An X post went viral this week for showing a meager meal at popular chain Five Guys — a burger, small fries and drink — racking up a brain-busting $24 tab (including tip).
That likely puts lunch at a fast casual joint well out of reach for an everyday American family.
We know whom to thank for this: Joe Biden, progressive Dems and the terrible economic policies they love to enact.
Think about it.
Who else is responsible for the massive inflation hitting average Americans?
Via his endless drunk-sailor spending, Biden dumped trillions into the economy just as it was coming into a strong upswing after the COVID crush.

Biden's Accurate Description of Laken

It didn't matter if Joe Biden took to the podium during Thursday night's State of the Union and drooled for an hour, Democrats were always going to proclaim it the greatest speech of all time. When it turned out to be the most unhinged and angry example of a tradition the country should scrap with prejudice, there was no chance some actual honesty was going to punch through. [snip]
Naturally, Democrats are in a full-scale revolt over it. As RedState reported, Nancy Pelosi chastised the president, and the list of detractors is growing substantially.
During more than three years of his presidency, Joe Biden has become known as much for his bursts of anger and yelling as for his serial lying and concocting mumbling words that make zero sense.
[snip] He had one last opportunity to at least try to somewhat heal — if just a bit — a nation further fractured by his divisive presidency.
Yet, there Joe was: "Us against them" vs. "Let's try to come together." The latter was not to happen.
Instead, a very angry president screamed at House Republicans and about Donald Trump — and even looked the Supreme Court justices in the eye and politically chastised them
Shocking footage has emerged showing the moments an innocent high school junior from Wheaton, Illinois was beaten into unconsciousness by two fellow students. Even worse, credible information reveals infuriating steps the school took to sweep the incident under the rug.
The video, which has gone viral today thanks to Libs of Tiktok, shows a white kid being assaulted by two other individuals in a bathroom at Wheaton Warrenville South. The thugs are seen beating and stomping on the poor youth while one shouts, “What the f*ck is wrong with you!”
The unconscious victim is then carried out of the bathroom by other students.
Appearing alongside Vice President Kamala Harris in Selma, Alabama, on Sunday, Garland called voter ID laws and other voter integrity laws “discriminatory, burdensome, and unnecessary.” The two were speaking at an event commemorating the fifty-ninth anniversary of the Bloody Sunday attacks on civil rights marchers in Selma
Garland recalled the history of voting rights for black Americans since the end of slavery, which he said has “never been steady” into the present day charging that voter ID laws have made it harder “for millions of eligible voters to vote and to elect the representatives of their choice.”
A California man has become the first person in the United States charged with illegally smuggling greenhouse gases into the country, officials said Monday.
Michael Hart of San Diego was arrested under the American Innovation and Manufacturing Act of 2020, which prohibits the importation of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) without proper permits from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
HFCs are potent greenhouse gases commonly found in refrigerators and air conditioners, building insulation, fire extinguishing systems, and aerosols. They can be hundreds to thousands of times more potent than carbon dioxide at trapping heat in the atmosphere, exacerbating the climate crisis.
As many as 600 teenagers, most of them black, rioted Saturday night at Six Flags Over Georgia. At least one teen was shot
Cobb County officers said between 500-600 teens were “running through the park and fighting.” At one point th crowd opened fire on officers as they ran onto Six Flags Parkway.
At some point, “multiple people began shooting, hitting an unoccupied CCPD marked patrol car,” according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
“As officers identified where the shots were coming from, they ran after people who had run into the woods. During the incident, one CCPD officer fired his weapon, hitting one minor,” according to the GBI.

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” former Attorney General Eric Holder commented on President Joe Biden’s poll numbers by stating that “as the media turns its attention to making this a binary choice between a person who’s got some age and cognitive issues — that would be Trump — against somebody who has actually accomplished a lot, I think we’ll do just fine.”
Host Bill Maher asked, “What do you make of the fact that the Democrats, by every poll I read, are, I would just say, losing their base? If you look at non-white working-class voters, there has been a 61-point shift, that’s an incredible amount, from 2012,
An area in Squad member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s district is being described as looking more like a Third World country as opposed to a thriving American neighborhood, as desperate migrants block up sidewalks selling food and shilling clothing items while prostitutes openly solicit sex from passersby — reportedly including teens.
The neighborhoods of Corona, Jackson Heights and Elmhurst — a once-vibrant community in northwestern Queens — has now essentially deteriorated into a large flea market with trash overflowing on street corners, leading to unsavory and unhygienic conditions, as video obtained by Fox News Digital shows.

Lemon is alleged to have requested a Tesla Cybertruck, an $8 million salary, an equity stake in X together with a $5 million upfront payment on top.

from Shelters as New 60-Day Limit Takes Effect 16 replies
Chicago will evict some 5,600 illegal immigrants from city shelters in waves beginning on Sunday, as Mayor Brandon Johnson’s new rule limiting migrant shelter stays to 60 days takes effect.
Thirty-four illegal immigrants will be evicted on Saturday as the policy finally kicks in, after having been delayed on multiple occasions since November because of cold weather.
While exemptions will be made for illegal immigrants who have medical conditions, are in the process of securing housing, are experiencing domestic violence, or are pregnant, others who have overstayed the 60-day limit will be evicted in the coming weeks and told to report back to the city’s “landing zone,”
Ruth Bader Ginsburg's family has denounced an award in her name being given to Elon Musk and Rupert Murdoch, among others.
The Opperman Foundation has since 2020 bestowed the Ruth Bader Ginsburg Leadership Award to extraordinary people.
Actor Sylvester Stallone, financier Michael Milken, and fashion icon Martha Stewart will receive the award this year along with Musk and Murdoch.
Ginsburg, the legendary late Supreme Court justice, consistently supported progressive positions during her 27 years on the bench.
Her family lashed out at the foundation's choices as 'an affront to the memory of our mother and grandmother', without singling out the two conservative billionaires.
Who knew sustainability could be so ssssserious and yet, so ssssilly? Apparently, researchers who compiled a report suggesting that humans could potentially replace beef, poultry, and fish with – snake meat. The idea is intriguing, of course. But given America’s dietary hissstory, it might be a hard sell for most of us.
A new study reveals that farming pythons in Southeast Asia could offer a more environmentally friendly source of meat. Researchers observed the serpents in Thailand and Vietnam for 12 months, and discovered that raising these reptiles leaves less of a carbon footprint than traditional livestock.
Of course, this is probably because snakes don’t have feet.

Americans are still fleeing Democratic run states in their droves and moving to more conservative parts of the country, the latest census data shows.
Over the year 2022 to 2023, Los Angeles County in California, Cooky County in Illinois and Kings County in New York all experienced population declines of 119,000, 58,000 and 55,000 respectively.
Miami-Dade County in Florida came fifth in the list, potentially because of the high prices caused by Florida’s skyrocketing popularity.
The main beneficiaries of domestic migration were Polk County in Florida, Montgomery County in Texas and Pasco County in Florida with gains of 26,000, 25,000 and 24,000 respectively
The Biden administration is trying to make U.S. taxpayers fund abortions by leaving out the Hyde Amendment from the Fiscal Year 2025 budget released this week.
The move marks the fourth year in a row President Joe Biden’s Office of Management and Budget has purposefully left out the Hyde Amendment, a provision that has been part of federal appropriations for decades and prevents direct taxpayer funding of abortion through programs like Medicaid. Republicans have foiled past attempts to remove the Hyde Amendment from the budget.

Trump Has Not Reached Out to Nikki Haley Democrats 13 replies
The apparatus of the Republican influence system is not happy that President Trump has not reached out to Nikki Haley and her coalition of Democrats in order to solicit their support. Politico outlines the unhappiness amid the Koch network that President Trump has not called them or asked for their support. The MAGA movement should anticipate the professional Republican apparatus now looking to embed Bush-Cheney-Haley types to control the outcomes of Donald Trump, and the likelihood of a successful presidential race. Nothing angers the professional Republicans quite like ignoring them and being successful without their crustless triangle cucumber sandwiches.
A San Francisco man who stabbed a 94-year-old in the street has avoided jail after being sentenced to probation and a 'behavioral and mental health treatment program.'
