“And Jay Inslee can kiss my ass,” Unidentified Washington State Trooper

Quote II

'I think anybody who's gotten one dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine can benefit from a second dose of a Johnson & Johnson vaccine,' Dr. Paul Offit, a member of the FDA's Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee

Quote III

"It was a curse for moment, but it had a Catch-22 silver lining, because we changed how we make stuff. It gave us an opportunity to be creative." Pat O'Neill,

Quote IV

He didn't wear a mask. Will he blame his dementia? Rules are for little people.

Where’s your MASK Joe? Maskless Biden breathes old man GERMS all over D.C. restaurant in violation of mask MANDATE
written by J.C McCallum October 18, 2021
You know this story really speaks for itself. The elites are always about do as I say not as I do, whether it’s lecturing about climate from their private jets, tweeting at everyone to stay home while getting their hair did, or hitting the swanky social scene without a mask while MANDATING them for everyone else.

This is what Capitalism looks like.

A star Stanford professor leaves his lab for a startup out to remake psychiatry

About five years ago, Amit Etkin had a breakthrough.

The Stanford neurologist, a soft-spoken demi-prodigy who became a professor while still a resident, had been obsessed for a decade with how to better define psychiatric disorders. Drugs for depression or bipolar disorder didn’t work for many patients with the conditions, and he suspected the reason was how traditional diagnoses didn’t actually get at the heart of what was going on in a patient’s brain.

He had shown in 2006 that some patients with different diagnoses — PTSD vs. depression, for example — looked remarkably similar under brain imaging, suggesting clinicians drew distinctions in the wrong places. And in 2014, he showed that one could define patients by looking at individual discrete behaviors, such as attention or sleep.

This will be a very interesting law suit to follow.

Pentagon Faces Class-Action Lawsuit Over Vaccine Mandates on Military, Federal Employees and Contractors

Service members from all five branches of the U.S. military, federal employees, and federal civilian contractors have joined in a class-action lawsuit against the Department of Defense over its COVID-19 vaccine mandates.

The 24 plaintiffs “face a deadline under the Federal COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate to receive a COVID-19 vaccine that violates their sincerely held religious beliefs, and have been refused any religious exemption or accommodation,” according to Liberty Counsel, the Christian legal firm that filed the lawsuit.

RIP Actress Betty Lynn.

Betty Lynn, a veteran actress who was best known as the girlfriend of bumbling sheriff’s deputy Barney Fife on television classic The Andy Griffith Show, has died at age 95. She passed on Saturday in Culver City, Calif. of an undisclosed but brief illness, according to the Andy Griffith Museum.

Lynn appeared in 26 episodes of The Andy Griffith Show over a span of five years from 1961 to 1966.

Before that Lynn enjoyed a Broadway career, and was discovered by Daryl F. Zanuck in one of several plays. During the 1940s and 1950s, she appeared in many films, including Sitting Pretty (1948), June Bride (1948) the original Cheaper by the Dozen (1950) and Meet Me In Las Vegas (1956).

Next time perhaps he will wear sunglasses. Genius Award Winner.

A teacher lost his job for being ‘inappropriate’ to female pupils and staring at their bodies.

Josh Taylor, 53, invaded the ‘personal space’ of girls as young as 17 during an English class on September 27, in 2018.

After they reported the incident, Grwp Llandrillo Menai, in Wales, investigated and sacked him.

Better late than never. Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.

The bride is 97. The groom is 98. The couple has been married for 77 years, and thanks to some very special folks who helped them celebrate their recent anniversary, they were finally treated to some very special wedding memories they missed out on all those years ago.

The Kings have become like family to the staff of the St. Croix Hospice who serve as caretakers for the elderly pair in their Oelwein, Idaho home. With a big anniversary coming up, their caregivers wanted to do something special to commemorate the occasion—and knowing something of the couple’s history, they came up with a perfect plan.
