Anyone who attended school in years gone by has heard of this remarkable woman. The woman who came from a privileged British background and gave birth to the modern movement we know as Nursing
If only we looked at her matter of fact approach to the care of the ill, perhaps we would not be in the mess we find ourselves in today where commonsense has been obliterated by scientific models and political agendas.

Upon returning to my computer this afternoon I discovered an irate e-mail from the mother of a George Mason University freshman. Here’s my reply to her.
Ms. L__:
I’m dismayed to learn from your e-mail that, because you’ve just discovered that I endorse the Great Barrington Declaration, you’re demanding that your son transfer out of my upcoming Econ 103 course. That decision, obviously, is for you and your son to make. You should advise your son to do what you think best.
But you took time to write to accuse me of “intellectual incompetence,” so I’ll take a moment to defend myself.
In the first year of the pandemic, a team from Otago University in New Zealand (my former university) published an interesting study that provided some explanation for the strong public support for lockdown measures. This support came despite known or predicted collateral harms, including loss of livelihoods, elevated mortality from neglect of other diseases and ailments, “deaths of despair” from greater loneliness, and police abuses.
The 1993 film Demolition Man saw some parts of our future clearly—and reminds us there are many shades of dystopia.
I haven’t thought about the movie Demolition Man in a long time, but this changed recently when it was brought to my attention that the film is now nearly 30 years old.

When the British government decided to change the ways in which it calculates and releases data about Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) “vaccine” injuries and deaths, the obvious coverup that resulted prompted the public filing of dozens of Freedom of Information (FOI) requests.
This led to the revelation that one out of every 246 people who gets jabbed for Chinese Germs, at least in England, ends up dying within the first two months post-injection.

Kari was fuming after the Feds raided Trump’s Mar-a-Lago. And she launched a statement about that. Yup. OK. Fine.
But it’s how she moved on from the subject of Trump that really interests me.
Here’s her blast:

In the golden olden days, I remember when I went fishing with my Mum and Dad. It was one of the most miserable experiences of my young life. Apparently, it was to make me a better person.
You know the thing: " you will enjoy it if you just allow yourself to! "
" It's not cold. It's just that you need another pair of socks! "

I grew up in small college town called Blacksburg, VA. My grandpa often took my brother and me to a store called “Blacksburg Feed and Seed” My grandpa was a delightful, overweight man, and everyone loved chatting with him. You could say he had the gift of the gab. My cousin Scott often visited the store with us.
Grandpa was a simple man who loved big band music. He would often take us kids fishing on the new river and at Big Stony Creek and spent hours of his day sipping sweet tea while listening to music under the shade tree. I miss him very much.

I recently read on one of the News item blogs that a Teacher removed an ear phone from a boy's ear, and landed in trouble. Fired !!Up until now $55.000 later still fighting the injustice of the dismissal .He had asked the two boys who were sharing and ear phone piece each to remove them and pay attention to the Math class he was trying to teach them. They took no notice.

The corporate-controlled media is warning that people everywhere are “catching” the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) a second or even third time – even though most, if not all, of them are “fully vaccinated.”
They are calling it “long covid,” a term that has been in use for a while now to describe people who get and stay sick with “covid” for very long periods of time, despite obeying the government’s mask and jab guidelines.
Supposedly, the “omicron” (anagram for moronic) variant continues to mutate and spread among people who rolled up their sleeves for the injections, including “booster” shots that were supposed to be “safe and effective.”
Paris streets were filled with protesters; the city was burning; more than 15,000 federal troops were gathered to stand by for trouble; the people were starving; the king fired the dude in charge of finances without any impact; the Bastille (prison) was attacked, and prisoners freed; the protestors paraded the heads of the Bastille defenders through the streets.
When the news reached King Louis at his palace in Versailles, he exploded, “This is revolt!” An aide responded, “No, Sire, it is a Revolution!”
