Democrats Have to be Careful How They Handle Santos

December 31, 2022 Ray Cardello

George Santos (R-NY) has opened up a can of worms, and nobody wants to put on a pair of rubber gloves and deal with it, or him.

New York City uses its garbage trucks to plow snow. The Big Crapple is also hot to electrify the entire fleet, and why not? Who should be more climate #woke than the city that never sleeps? But someone is having nightmares after discovering the two are incompatible—electric trucks and plowing snow.

Another Huge Win for Ivermectin

December 30, 2022 Steve MacDonald

This seems like medically dense material, but my layman’s tweak is that researchers found a new key to SARS CoV2, and IVM (Ivermectin) blocks it “when added to RBCs [red blood cells] prior to spike protein and reversed HA (hemagglutination) when added afterward.”

Now the normal question would have been, “are you ok?”

How Much More Delusional Thinking is Society Supposed to Put Up With: Trans Lesbian – Stack of Stuff #35

December 30, 2022 Skip

I am running out of words to describe the utter stupidity that I see happening to American Society.
