Strange Daze

It has been widely suggested that the #CoronaVirus was developed in the Wuhan Virology Lab in Wuhan, China and accidentally leaked into the population. Pure speculation, but if true, this question remains: what was the intended use for this “designer” virus in the first place?

The DiploMad 2.0: The well-fed, pampered, and well-financed “woke ones” destroy once-great cities and seek to destroy Western Civilization. We witness them savaging, even killing, those who dare reject, however tepidly, the woke leftist narrative. We hear it in the over-the-top violent Marxist/Fascist rhetoric, more often than not spewing from the wild-eyed, unkempt, tattooed white harridans who dominate BLM and Antifa, and who do not shy away from physical violence–as long as men protect them. The prog-run cities of America and Europe have become disasters characterized by crowds of illegal immigrants, fleeing middle-class taxpayers, the filthy camps of “homeless” mentally ill, trash-strewn streets, boarded-up storefronts, rampant drug use, decrepit schools run by semi-literate morons, and, of course, ever-rising levels of property and violent crime. The loud voices of the Wokesters shout down opposition and try to make us all go along with the destruction.

OP ED: God, I Know You Promised Not To Send Another Flood, But It’s Ok, Really |  We’ve had a pretty good run as a species –fantastic, even. We invented cars and the internet and sporks. We’ve even been to the moon! So, You know, it’s not like You’d be ending things before we’d reached our full potential.

I just think it’s important to know when to call it. Pack it in, throw in the towel, go home, etc.

“As of Thursday, the suspect, described as a 20- to 30-year-old man with a dark complexion, has not been identified.” // Laughable watching the media try to keep up with the ever-changing political correctness curve. “dark complexion??!!” https://t.co/6LRBYCaV6H

Finch Sitting – The Controversial Sport Where You Sit on a Chair And Count Bird Calls In Vinkensport, small cages are lined up in a row about six feet apart on the street. Inside each box is a single male chaffinch whose job is to produce as many bird calls as possible in one hour. Sitting in front of the wooden cages are their owners, the vinkeniers (‘finchers’) who tally the bird songs with chalk on a large wooden rod. Each chalk line represents one complete bird call which ends in a characteristic flourish known as a susk-e-wiet. Judges walk along the row of cages to make sure no one cheats. The chaffinch with the most bird calls in an hour is declared the winner. .. as of 2007, there are more than 13,000 vinkeniers breeding 10,000 birds every year.

How to Hold Beijing Accountable for the Coronavirus – WSJ  Suggesting that an outbreak of a deadly bat coronavirus coincidentally occurred near the only level 4 virology institute in all of China—which happened to be studying the closest known relative of that exact virus—strains credulity.

Above all, China’s extensive coverup raises red flags. In the critical first weeks after the initial outbreak, Beijing actively suppressed essential information and prevented World Health Organization investigators from entering the country while samples were destroyed. When a courageous Chinese biologist posted the sequenced genome of the virus online, his lab was immediately shut “for rectification.” The Chinese government has forbidden scientists to discuss publicly the origins of the pandemic. Citizen journalists investigating the issue have disappeared. In the words of a European Union report that were controversially later removed from the final version, “China has continued to run a global disinformation campaign to deflect blame for the outbreak of the pandemic.”

The WaPo will be capitalizing “White.” I cannot resist making a version of the old old joke: What’s White, Black, and Red all over? The WaPo.

We Will Keep on Exposing this Maskerade. The suggestion that this is needed to protect others raises the obvious question: If me not wearing a mask transmits the virus to others who are wearing a mask, then is that not an admission that masks do not work to stop a respiratory virus that is microscopic and gets through the mask? Garbage in, garbage out. It makes no sense to suggest it doesn’t penetrate the transmitter’s mask from inside-out, especially with the air pressure of a cough or sneeze, but can penetrate the mask of the receiver through suspended molecules that are stagnant without pressure pushing those molecules outside-in to the receiver.

From COVID to Cancers, HCQ is ‘Wonder Drug’ of Our Time | Principia Scientific Intl. Undoubtedly, the biggest medical scandal of our age is the coordinated suppression of the science that proves hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is not only a safe medicine, it is clinically proven to treat many serious diseases other than malaria and COVID-19. Below we show the evidence from the scientific literature on Google Scholar that HCQ works against many cancers, diabetes, HIV, herpes, rheumatoid arthritis, Lupus, Lyme disease, etc.

The Lloyd Gorge, Ployd Morge, George Knoid WhatsHisName Hologram: Why does so much of progressivism seem to involve the glorification of the ugly, the perverse, and the pathological? Seriously, who designed that hologram? Who made the final decision that yes, this is the image we want people to see? It looks absolutely hideous. It will most likely frighten small children.

Second, why are we glorifying a career criminal? Why are we memorialzing his “legacy”? Floyd was a psychopathic thug and his only “legacy” was a string of drug and armed robbery convictions. He once held a gun up against the stomach of a pregnant woman. This is the guy the progressives want as a civil rights hero? Oh, and as an addded insult to normal sensibilities, the text accompanying the hologram is done up using a font in the style of “gangsta” graffiti of the sort that defaces public spaces all across the country. So it exalts and glorifies criminality. Ace of Spades HQ

After Brief Absence, Ruth Bader Ginsburg Returns Home To Hospital | “We were worried about her when she was out of the hospital for a bit — that’s just not like her,” said a family member close to Ginsburg. “We had a real scare there. We’re glad to see that she’s back to her regular residence in a hospital bed. She’s been there for over 15 years, and we’re just happy to see her resume her schedule like a boss.”

China’s Artificial Intelligence Surveillance State Goes Global – The Atlantic China already has hundreds of millions of surveillance cameras in place. Xi’s government hopes to soon achieve full video coverage of key public areas. Much of the footage collected by China’s cameras is parsed by algorithms for security threats of one kind or another. In the near future, every person who enters a public space could be identified, instantly, by AI matching them to an ocean of personal data, including their every text communication, and their body’s one-of-a-kind protein-construction schema. In time, algorithms will be able to string together data points from a broad range of sources—travel records, friends and associates, reading habits, purchases—to predict political resistance before it happens. China’s government could soon achieve an unprecedented political stranglehold on more than 1 billion people.Is a Corn Dog a Sandwich or a Popsicle? We Must Know for Sure! Given all that, it’s clear that a corn dog cannot be a sandwich or an ice pop, according to any of the definitions of either of those terms. As author, professor and food historian Ken Albala explains, “Of course it is neither. Popsicles are frozen, and sandwiches are only between bread. Corn dogs are an anomaly, like no other food.”

8 Best Men’s Water Guns for Summer 2020 Ok, so you’re not messing around. Time to bring out the big-boy toys and invest in a Spyra One adult water gun. Initially launched on Kickstarter, Spyra One is delivering its first batch this summer. The futuristic block design reaches 50 feet and sprays 24 “powerful water bullets” the website says. There’s an automatic refill that takes about 10 seconds, plus a digital display to show your tank and battery status. Yep, big boy toys take batteries. But the Sypra One is also a no-pump, 100% pressure soaker that will bring grown dudes to tears. Choose your color: red or blue.

The Church’s Limp-Wristed Coronadoom Response –  What strikes the average Friday fisheater is how quickly, and even eagerly, our spiritual leaders embraced coronadoom restrictions. They didn’t protest when the government said to shut down public masses. Even though they could have. Our dear prelates and priests could have said, “No way we’re stopping the worship of God. Come get us if you have to, but we’re doing it.”

They likely would have won that fight. But, with practiced somber faces, they instead came to the microphone and said, “You can’t even go to the funeral of your mother. Safety First.”

These Biden tweets are some double-edged sword. On the one hand, you think: Oh, great, he’ll not tweet that much cringeworthy stuff. On the other hand, you think: Yeah, because he won’t be in control of his account. https://t.co/aXx15oPw4h

Worse Punishment Than a Hangover: The True Story of the ‘Barrel-Shirt,’ Also Known as the ‘Drunkard’s Cloak’ “A first-time arrest for drunkenness was met with a simple fine of 5 [shillings], but subsequent arrests on the same charge would condemn the inebriate to wear a ‘Drunkard’s Cloak’ — a beer keg with one end knocked out and a hole cut in the other large enough for the miscreant’s head to fit through,”
