Iran is furious over a weekend cyber attack that left it's Natanz nuclear facility in the dark.
The Iranians described this as an act of terrorism and vow retribution.
It is widely believed the Israelis engineered this power outage. Israel has vowed to prevent the reimposition of the idiotic "Iran nuclear deal" unilaterally imposed by the Obama Administration and being resurrected by the Usurpery of Joe Biden.
We were well on our way to peace in the Middle East, but the forces that want endless conflict there seized power in the U.S. and are returning us to the failed policies of the past.

Mask-wearing has become part of COVID Ritual, and our collective version of Linus’s security blanket. The difference is that Linus merely carried his blanket; he didn’t wrap it around his face and inhale it.

Why are people being censored for reporting the news that a BLM activist bought a home in Topanga Canyon for 1.4 million?
Personally I was actually a bit unimpressed that with the tens of billions of dollars the BLM organization has collected from its shakedowns of clueless corporations that we haven't seen a lot more signs of them spreading that loot around. The role model ought to the the Poverty Palace which the SPLC built by fundraising by convincing witless left wingers that right wing extremists were hiding behind every bush.

Here we go once again folks, the race baiters have invented yet another myth to perpetuate their critical race theories, and blame even those who have been suitably indoctrinated by it.
"Active-bystand
In other words when someone, presumably white, doesn't intervene in an innocent conversation between a 'person of colour' and, again presumably, a 'white' person.
Intervention might be required when microaggression
My surname was mispronounced once in a Glasgow garage parts department, when a counter staff bellowed back at his unseen colleague in the back "It's Redfern, not Redskin!" It was of course deliberate, and an attempt to break up the tedium of a working day in a parts department.
I'm rarely asked where I come from because I'm white, with a Scottish accent. But I'm Chinese by birth. Surely that's unconscious bias judging by the standards of a few of the black community.
And isn't it strange, and also
perceptibly bias, that unconscious bias training is almost entirely
unique to black people? Where's their diversity and inclusion? Or is it
simply discrimination (OK, I'll say it, Racism) against white people,
or Asian people, or Middle Eastern people.........

160 years ago today, the Civil War began in earnest...
At 4:30 a.m. on April 12, 1861, Confederate troops fired on Fort Sumter in South Carolina's Charleston Harbor. Less than 34 hours later, Union forces surrendered.
Tim adds:
Fort Sumpter was under construction at the time and was not very defensible, but the Union forces retreated there because Fort Moultrie was in such bad shape they couldn't hope to hold it. Sumpter, being on an island, was better tactically. As my old history professor used to call it, it was Fort Moldy.
And all the guns were permanently mounted facing the sea; nobody thought they would face an attack from the city.

The public needs to know the truth. The MSM media and some politicians need to be held to account for the blatant lies and misinformation they spread about what is happening and who is responsible. Deliberate lying, especially by public officials, should a criminal offense.
Media Racial Profiling Mass Killers
From the article:
It all started when a white man was charged with killing eight people — including six Asian women — at three different massage parlors in the Atlanta area. The shooting capped off weeks of media outlets reporting that hate crimes against Asian-Americans were skyrocketing,spurring the hashtag #StopAAPIHate. The media blamed this trend on President Trump because he had called COVID-19 the ‘China virus’ or ‘Wuhan virus’ and white supremacy. Most journalists ignored the fact that the majority of suspects in hate crimes against Asian Americans are other minorities. Also brushed aside was the fact that the Atlanta shooter claimed his motivation was not about race,but anger stemming from his own sex and pornography addiction. When a law enforcement official tried to relay the shooter’s alleged motivation to the public, Vox reporter Aaron Rupar selectively edited a video to spark outrage at the officer. How dare he suggest this was anything but a race-based crime?
Just a few days later, another mass shooting occurred in Boulder, Colorado. Initial videos from the incident showed a light-skinned individual being detained by police, so writers and activists rushed to blame ‘white men’ and insisted that the suspect would’ve never been taken alive if he were a minority. The shooter was later identified as Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, a Syrian immigrant, who friends and family say was bullied for his Middle Eastern name and was often paranoid about being attacked because of his race. Still, some found a way to double down and blame whiteness, including Kamala Harris’s niece, who wrote, ‘I made an assumption based on his being taken into custody alive and the fact that the majority of mass shootings in the US are carried out by white men.’ In any other context, her remarks would have been roundly condemned as prejudice. Even when white men are not the suspects, they are still somehow the culprits. [That assumed "fact†is false, as shown later below.]
Both of these shootings received wall-to-wall coverage. Meanwhile, a shooting that saw eight people injured and two dead in Virginia Beach was hardly touched on cable news. The suspects are black, so the liberal outrage machine did not kick into gear. [Also not mentioned was a white girl raped and killed in Florida on spring break with two black males as suspects.]
Finally, this week in Washington DC, an Uber Eats driver was murdered after two teenage girls tried to hijack his car. The girls allegedly tased Mohammad Anwar, a 66-year-old Pakistani immigrant, before trying to drive away as Anwar was still hanging out of the driver’s side of the car. He was killed when the vehicle crashed. The video is horrifying, particularly as one of the suspects expresses more concern for her phone being left in the car than she does the man she just killed. This story, which caps off a year of skyrocketing carjackings in the DC area, should be top news. However, the two teenage girls are black.

We live in a very fallen world, which today, from any serious experiential, empirical, objective point of view, is all too subjectively and painfully obvious as a virus has managed to lockdown, cripple, restrict, and put the entire world into some kind of strange holding pattern that is virtually (pun intended) cultic as far as atmosphere is concerned since the newsy propaganda on all this is 24/7 across the entire globe. This is not to say the crown virus is an unserious problem as it most certainly in particular cases, but the massive response(s) to it all, which is close to being hysterical, are every bit as dangerous, if not even more dangerous, than the crown virus itself.
Articles from supposedly objective sources are
presuming the new crown virus cult atmosphere is now forever, even if
you get vaccinated. The spiritual, psychological, societal, political
and economic fallout has already been far more damaging and expensive
than the medical side of it all, which is foolishly not being discussed
nearly enough. Common sense has been lost and has fallen on deaf ears,
and all such damage indeed seems now to be permanent – a self-fulfilling
Liberals and/
We now live in an extremely lawless world matched everywhere by an extreme legalism, which the crown virus madness has exacerbated greatly on a scale not seen before in my lifetime for sure. Such a congruence of lawlessness and legalism matches perfectly what the Scriptures have predicted about the advent of the coming Antichrist whose ministry of lawlessness, destruction, and unprecedented legalism will take it to a whole other level since it will be backed up with satanic miracles and demonic experiences without any divine restraints. That Paul even tells us in 1 Thessalonians 5:1-4 that the propaganda of those days before the Day of the Lord commences will be "peace and safety†only pushes the envelope farther in the apocalyptic direction. We have been preaching "peace†since the silly love songs of the Beatles. I have heard "safety†or "be safe†I do not know how many times since last March.
Whatever your political, philosophical or religious perspective may be on all this, one thing is for sure. The pictures presented below are not the answer to the crisis or the way out of it. Required empty churches, even at the beginning of the crisis, will only guarantee more of the same, and will dig the problem even deeper. God has ordained that the churches be oases of grace, i.e., conduits of grace - to a dying fallen world. If they are shut down, excluded, presumed to be conduits of infections, how will God’s grace reach that fallen world which desperately needs it to recover what has been lost? One item of note when the Spanish Flu nailed the world at the back of World War I, a flu pandemic far worse than the crown virus which claimed millions upon millions upon millions of lives at a time when the planet’s population was many times smaller, they did not shut down churches or tell them to shut up or censor them.
More to the point, the Judeo-Christian
In the famous Sermon on the Mount which savages the common practices of religious legalism, Jesus warned us long ago, "Nor shall you make an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black.†In John 15, Jesus categorically says, "Apart from Me, you can do nothing.†Political legalism is no better than religious legalism. The roots and the ineffective hypocritical results are the same.
Solomon teaches us in Proverbs that what is required in life this side of the grave is wisdom, which we need more than ever. Contrary to popular opinion, the practice of Solomon’s wisdom even grants health, "My son, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments; For length of days and years of life and peace they will add to you. Do not let kindness and truth leave you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart (Proverbs 3:1-3).†Solomon adds further, "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your body and refreshment to your bones (Proverbs 3:5-8).â€
May God’s people recover once again an interest in God’s wise word to help deliver us from a world gone mad in which foolishness is exalted, and wisdom is pilloried.

Oklahoma is the
only state where PrezObama did not win even one county in the last
election. So, while everyone is focusing on Arizona ’s new law, look
what Oklahoma has been doing!!!!
Oklahoma law passed, 37 to 9 an
amendment to place the Ten Commandments on the front entrance to the
state capitol. The feds in D.C., along with the ACLU, said it would be
a mistake. Hey this is a conservative state, based on Christian
values...! HB 1330
Oklahoma recently passed a law in the state to incarcerate all illegal immigrants, and ship them back to where they came from unless they want to get a green card and become an American citizen. They all scattered. HB 1804. This was against the advice of the Federal Government, and the ACLU, they said it would be a mistake. Oklahoma did it anyway.
They passed a law to include DNA
samples from any and all illegal's to the Oklahoma database, for
criminal investigative purposes. Pelosi said it was unconstitutiona
Several weeks ago, they passed a law, declaring Oklahoma as a Sovereign state, not under the Federal Government directives. Joining Texas , Montana and Utah as the only states to do so.
More states are likely to follow: Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Carolina's, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, West Virginia, Mississippi and Florida. Save your confederate money, it appears the South is about to rise up once again. HJR 1003
The federal Government has made bold steps to take away our guns. Oklahoma, a week ago, passed a law confirming people in this state have the right to bear arms and transport them in their vehicles. I'm sure that was a setback for the criminals. The Leftists don't like it -- but....guess what...? Oklahoma did it anyway.
Just this month, the state has voted and passed a law that ALL drivers’ license exams will be printed in English, and only English, and no other language. They have been called racist for doing this, but the fact is that ALL of the road signs are in English only. If you want to drive in Oklahoma , you must read and write English. Really simple.
Guess what...who cares... Oklahoma is doing it anyway!

They say history repeats, first as tragedy then as farce.
Well, the Left is at the point of digital book burning around the world, and their insane environmental policy is...
Why are they Burning Books in South Wales?
Yep - pensioners are burning used books because they are cheaper to use for heat than fossil fuels!
I feel sorry for the folks at the Babylon Bee; they can't compete with reality.

I've been saying this for some time now; the only warming we see in Antarctica is a result of geothermal activity and has nothing to do with warmer air thanks to carbon dioxide.
From the article:
Bad news or not, the story about an unmanned submarine measuring water temperature beneath Thwaite’s Glacier and the potential impact on sea level leaves out a crucial point. Scientists have long established that warm water temperature beneath the glacier are majorly impacted by volcanic activity. There is a tectonic fissure directly below Antarctica’s Pine Island ice shelf.
Scientists at the University of Texas at Austin concluded that, "The cause of the variable distribution of heat beneath the glacier is thought to be the movement of magma and associated volcanic activity arising from the rifting of Earth’s crust beneath the West Antarctic Ice Sheet.â€
Many more scientific publications have weighed in on the geothermal origins of the warm water beneath the glacier.
Just how much doom will flow from the volcanic warm water beneath Thwaite’s Glacier is a worthy topic for further study. However, alarming stories under the heading "climate change†that omit the geothermal origin of the warm water are deliberately misleading attempts to boost the global warming narrative.
Scientists have yet to reveal any amount of regulation, taxation and redistribution sufficient to cool a volcano.
End
This demolishes any claims Antarctica is melting away from global warming. East Antarctica has seen ice growth steadily for decades now, and Antarctic sea ice has been up and down, but more up than down. Now we see why the Antarctic Peninsula and the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (which sits over shallow water) have been degrading. It explodes the notion that it is somehow tied to carbon-dioxide warming of the atmosphere (which never did make a lick of sense as Antarctica is way,way below freezing and modest aerial warming wouldn't make a difference anyway.)

Is this a surprise to anyone? The New York Times always did love the Communists.
Multiple New York Times Staff Previously Worked for CCP Controlled Media
Remember the New York Times employed Walter Duranty who wrote glowing dispatches about the glories of the great Bolshevik Revolution from Moscow in the '30's. Remember too that it was the New York Tombs that called Fidel Castro the "George Washington of Cuba". And bear in mind they just recently praised Mao Tse Tung (I refuse to use the new spelling) in effusive fashion. They love them some Communism at that despicable rag. And now they are pretty much the American media arm of the Chinese Communist Party.It's hardly a surprise.
Speaking of Mao Tse Tung, notice how in recent years so many words have had their spelling changed? Especially Chinese and other foreign words and names. I suspect that is to condition us to accept such alterations so that when they change actual history, rewrite it to make it more appealing to the socialist way of thinking, we will be used to such changes and dismiss them as normal. Am I paranoid? Perhaps. But Orwell would have understood this if he saw it. Paranoids have enemies too.

In a Facebook argument I and James Doogue tangle with a guy who wants to hide under his bed from Covid. He is bitterly angry at Sweden for showing his pet idea up. Here is the thread:
Lance says:
In Sweden where the never logical, sensible or functional "protect the elderly and medically vulnerable" was attempted as a human sacrifice avoidance of reality, road traffic fatalities have been around 300 a year. Much lower in recent years. Covid fatalities for a little over a year that the pandemic has been raging there. 13621. The covid death toll there in the decade age range 50 to 59 alone exceeds the average road toll.
https://
I rebut:
Bear in mind Sweden is the most populous of the Scandanavian countries and so should be more prone to infection. And Sweden has a large immigrant population, and Italy was a top vacation spot for Swedes. These all contirbuted to higher numbers than Norway or Denmark. And at what point do we consider ourselves safe? If we were to live in a bubble we'd be quite safe - untiil an auto-immune disorder got us. The fact is we can either live our lives or hide under our beds. The Swedes chose to live. I for one would rather die on my feet than live on my knees.
Lance retorts:

Jack Kemp
Andrea Widburg has a great analysis in American Thinker today of
the "health experts'" insistence that we still wear masks. She states
that the CDC's claiming we should wear masks, which technically does not
have the force of law, is an attempt by some government officials to
make Americans anonymous strangers to one another - at the same time as
they want to imply one is racially insensitive to minorities if you
don't continue to wear a mask in public..
She references these politicized health officials who say:
BEGIN QUOTE
It's not just Fauci, though. SFGATE is the free, hard-left spin-off from the venerable (and leftist) San Francisco Chronicle. It’s the hipster version of the paper, so it’s a good window into leftist thinking.
On Saturday night, SFGATE’s top promoted article explained why people should continue wearing masks even if they’ve been vaccinated. Ultimately, the article explains that, because of racism, not all people can shed their masks so it’s rude to flaunt your privilege by going maskless.
Dr. Monica Gandhi says you should wear masks because it’s "sort of a polite thing to do†because of "vaccine inequities.†Thus, in California, Latinos and Blacks are less likely to be vaccinated and more likely to die:
"It’s almost impolite that some of us can run around scot-free and some of us have to wear a face mask and so I guess that's how I'm framing it, and I'm going to be criticized for that.â€
END OF QUOTES
I would contend that it isn't theater but it is the health establishment's attempt to make public health now become a branch of Joe Biden's raising racial topics to stir division and animosity among the races in America. It is an attempt go beyond Biden's famous 2020 campaign quote "If you don't vote for me, you ain't black" to now become the statement "If you don't wear a mask, you disrespect and hate blacks and Hispanics." To make an analogy with the movie "It's a Wonderful Life," Biden and the Democrats are essentially trying to turn the whole country into the bitter malcontents of the town bar of "Potterville," a literal Hell on Earth.

I have harboured reservations about Prince Philip over the years however, he must be admired for his entirely Un Woke attitude to anything and everything. He just didn't give a monkeys and, if we care to remove our hair shirts for a moment, for this alone, he should be admired.
Some of his better known remarks follow:
"British women can't cook" (in Britain in 1966).
"What do you gargle with? Pebbles?" (speaking to singer Tom Jones after the 1969 Royal Variety Performance).
"I declare this thing open, whatever it is." (on a visit to Canada in 1969).
"Everybody was saying we must have more leisure. Now they are complaining they are unemployed" (during the 1981 recession).
"If it has got four legs and it is not a chair, if it has got two wings and it flies but is not an aeroplane, and if it swims and it is not a submarine, the Cantonese will eat it." (at a 1986 World Wildlife Fund meeting).
"It looks like a tart's bedroom." (on seeing plans for the Duke and Duchess of York's house at Sunninghill Park in 1988).
"Yak, yak, yak; come on get a move on." (shouted from the deck of Britannia in Belize in 1994 to the Queen who was chatting to her hosts on the quayside).

"How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to get them through the test?" (to a driving instructor in Oban, Scotland, during a 1995 walkabout).
"If a cricketer, for instance, suddenly decided to go into a school and batter a lot of people to death with a cricket bat, which he could do very easily, I mean, are you going to ban cricket bats?" (in 1996, amid calls to ban firearms after the Dunblane shooting).
"Bloody silly fool!" (in 1997, referring to a Cambridge University car park attendant who did not recognise him).
"It looks as if it was put in by an Indian." (pointing at an old-fashioned fusebox in a factory near Edinburgh in 1999).
"Deaf? If you are near there, no wonder you are deaf." (to young deaf people in Cardiff, in 1999, referring to a school's steel band).
"They must be out of their minds." (in the Solomon Islands, in 1982, when he was told that the annual population growth was 5 per cent).
"You are a woman, aren't you?"(In Kenya, in 1984, after accepting a small gift from a local woman).
"If you stay here much longer, you'll all be slitty-eyed." (perhaps his most notorious comment - to British students in China, during a 1986 state visit).
"Your country is one of the most notorious centres of trading in endangered species in the world." (in Thailand, in 1991, after accepting a conservation award).
"Oh no, I might catch some ghastly disease." (in Australia, in 1992, when asked to stroke a Koala bear).
"You can't have been here that long - you haven't got a pot belly." (to a Briton in Budapest, Hungary, in 1993).
"Aren't most of you descended from pirates?" (to a wealthy islander in the Cayman Islands in 1994).
"You managed not to get eaten, then?" (suggesting to a student in 1998 who had been trekking in Papua New Guinea that tribes there were still cannibals).
In Germany, in 1997, he welcomed German Chancellor Helmut Kohl at a trade fair as "Reichskanzler"
"You're too fat to be an astronaut." (to 13-year-old Andrew Adams who told Philip he wanted to go into space. Salford, 2001).
"I wish he'd turn the microphone off." (muttered at the Royal Variety Performance as he watched Sir Elton John perform, 2001).
"Do you still throw spears at each other?" (In Australia in 2002 talking to a successful aborigine entrepreneur).
"You look like a suicide bomber." (to a young female officer wearing a bullet-proof vest on Stornoway, Isle of Lewis, in 2002).
"Do you know they're now producing eating dogs for anorexics?" (to a blind woman outside Exeter Cathedral, 2002).
"Well, you didn't design your beard too well, did you?" (to designer Stephen Judge about his tiny goatee beard in July 2009).
"There's a lot of your family in tonight." (after looking at the name badge of businessman Atul Patel at a Palace reception for British Indians in October 2009).
"Do you work in a strip club?" (to 24-year-old Barnstaple Sea Cadet Elizabeth Rendle when she told him she also worked in a nightclub in March 2010).
"Do you have a pair of knickers made out of this?" (pointing to some tartan to Scottish Conservative leader Annabel Goldie a papal reception in Edinburgh in September 2010).
"Bits are beginning to drop off." (on approaching his 90th birthday, 2011).
"How many people have you knocked over this morning on that thing?" (meeting disabled David Miller who drives a mobility scooter at the Valentine Mansion in Redbridge in March 2012).
"I would get arrested if I unzipped that dress." (to 25-year-old council worker Hannah Jackson, who was wearing a dress with a zip running the length of its front, on a Jubilee visit to Bromley, Kent, in May 2012).
"The Philippines must be half empty as you're all here running the NHS." (on meeting a Filipino nurse at a Luton hospital in February 2013).
"Most stripping is done by hand." (to 83-year-old Mars factory worker Audrey Cook when discussing how she used to strip or cut Mars Bars by hand in April 2013).
"(Children) go to school because their parents don't want them in the house." (prompting giggles from Malala Yousafzai, who survived an assassination attempt by the Taliban after campaigning for the right of girls to go to school without fear - October 2013).
"Just take the f***ing picture." (losing patience with an RAF photographer at events to mark the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain - July 2015).
"You look starved." (to a pensioner on a visit to the Charterhouse almshouse for elderly men - February 2017)
"I'm just a bloody amoeba." (on the Queen's decision that their children should be called Windsor, not Mountbatten).
"Gentlemen, I think it is time we pulled our fingers out."(to the Industrial Co-Partnership Association on Britain's inefficient industries in 1961).
"Are you asking me if the Queen is going to die?" (on being questioned on when the Prince of Wales would succeed to the throne).
"If the man had succeeded in abducting Anne, she would have given him a hell of a time while in captivity." (On a gunman who tried to kidnap the Princess Royal in 1974).
"I hope he breaks his bloody neck." (when a photographer covering a royal visit to India fell out of a tree).
"If it doesn't fart or eat hay, she's not interested." (on the Princess Royal).
"When a man opens a car door for his wife, it's either a new car or a new wife." (on marriage).
"It's a pleasant change to be in a country that isn't ruled by its people." (to Alfredo Stroessner, the Paraguayan dictator).
"Where did you get that hat?" (supposedly to the Queen at her Coronation).
Chester McAteer adds:
Don't forget these:
"I don't claim to have any special
interest in natural history, but as a boy I was made aware of the
annual fluctuations in the number of game animals and the need to
adjust the cull to the size of the surplus population."
- Prince Philip,
preface of Down to Earth
Human population growth is probably the single most serious long-term
threat to survival. We're in for a major disaster if it isn't curbed...
We have no option. If it isn't controlled voluntarily, it will be
controlled involuntarily by an increase in disease, starvation and war.
HRH Prince Philip
"I just wonder what it would be like to be reincarnated in an animal
whose species had been so reduced in numbers than it was in danger of
extinction. What would be its feelings toward the human species whose
population explosion had denied it somewhere to exist. I must confess
that I am tempted to ask for reincarnation as a particularly deadly
virus.â€
Prince Philip
"Cannibalism is a radical but realistic solution to the problem of overpopulation.

From the early stages it was clear all we ever needed to do was to protect the elderly and medically vulnerable and allow young, healthy people go on as normal. But governments chose to enact States of Emergency invoking powers which allowed the suspension of basic human rights.
Along the way they destroyed lives, livelihoods and economies.
If they can justify such actions for Covid-19, why aren't they treating every life as sacred and implementing restrictions on smoking? That would save far more lives and be more easily justifiable.
A ban on smoking in ALL public places, and making it an offence to smoke inside a building in which children live, or in the company of children, would make far more sense than the Covid-19 lock-downs.
Smokers die on average 10 years younger than non-smokers and they clog up the health system with smoking related illnesses and disabilities long before they die.
Since the outbreak of Covid-19 we have seen political leaders suspend basic human rights of entire populations on the advice of their chief health officers. This is despite the fact that Covid-19 is not a great risk to young healthy people.
To date, 134m people have tested positive to Covid-19. That's 1.79% of the global population. There have been just 2.9m recorded deaths which is fewer than 0.04% of the population.
In western countries such as the UK and Australia, the average age of those who died from Covid-19 is equal to or higher than the average age of death from all other causes.
Globally, more than eight million deaths and 200 million disability-adju
It estimated that in Australia in 2017, 22,781 deaths and 567,928 DALYs were attributable to tobacco.
The average life expectancy of all Australians is 82.1 years. Smokers can
Disease groups with the greatest DALY, burden attributable to tobacco in Australia included chronic respiratory diseases (30%); cancer (21%); and cardiovascular diseases (17%).
From US data in over 500,000 people who tested positive to Covid-19, we know that if you are young and healthy, the chances of being hospitalised are minimal, and of dying, remote.
The graphic example below is for a Covid-19 positive 50 year old woman. She has just a 4.7% chance of hospitalisation
So for the healthy 50 year old woman in the US without a vaccination,
she's faced a risk of death from Covid-19 since the start of the
pandemic of 0.0188%. the risk of a 50 year old woman dying in the next
year from any cause is about 0.3025%. That's 16 times greater than the
risk of death from Covid-19. https://
This just demonstrates the nonsense we have put up with in the name of keeping us safe, when the Government fails to take much easier action against a greater health risk.
Tim adds:
There were 42.7 MILLION abortions performed last year, making it the
leading cause of death.This number dwarfs the 2.89 million dead of
Covid.
If the authorities are so all-fired worried about saving lives why the
lack of concern about that? We shut the whole world down and still have
everyone on a short leash over Covid but are performing abortions at an
alarming rate.
Why weren't they stopped along with other elective surgeries? Well,
actually 14 states tried to minimize them as elective surgeries but
were stopped by hysterical opposition by groups like the AMA and by the
courts.

If saving lives was really at issue wouldn't abortions have been the
first thing to go? My wife couldn't get a very necessary eye surgery
because of Covid last year but a baby could be ripped out of the womb,
no problem.
