CDC Adds (mostly worthless) COVID Shots To Recommended Schedule For Kids And Adults

By William Teach February 11, 2023 – 7:00 am

They’re still trying to make this happen, even though the “vaccines” do not really stop people from getting Wuhan flu, and may not even keep the symptoms from getting bad and death

CDC adds COVID vaccine to routine immunization schedule for kids, adults

COVID-19 vaccines are now included among the routine shots recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for children, adolescents and adults.

The 2023 list includes shots for the flu, measles mumps and rubella, polio, and other inoculations.

The vaccine schedule represents the current recommendations for people as a regular part of their vaccinations against common infectious diseases. It does not mean the CDC is requiring a COVID-19 shot for children or that schools will have to require that students receive the shot before enrolling.

The vaccine schedule is an important resource for physicians, especially pediatricians, that can help guide them on when it’s best to administer certain vaccines.

Other than flu, all those shots are required pretty much everywhere in the U.S., and most if not all 1st World countries, in order to attend school. Be in the military. Certain companies, especially in the medical field. And, they actually work. They’re innoculations. Get the polio one, and you will NOT get polio. I haven’t heard about schools requiring flu shots, but, you can bet with this Blue states and cities will require children to have the Chinese coronavirus shots before being allowed to come to school.

I wonder if all these CDC folks making these recommendations are making money off the COVID vaccines?

The CDC does not have the authority to mandate vaccines; that decision is left up to states and local jurisdictions.

For example, the flu vaccine has long been on the schedule of recommended childhood immunizations, but hardly any state actually mandates it for public schools.

Governments do pretty much follow the CDC guidance on all the other vaccines. You can expect them to add Wuhan flu shots to all the others. They won’t let it go. Kids will have to get them, and our Woke military will probably require them again.

Wendy’s Goes Climahysteric, Commits To Reducing Their Carbon Footprint

By William Teach February 10, 2023 – 3:00 pm

Would you like a burger with a side of climate cult?

Wendy’s commits to ‘ambitious’ climate change goals

The Wendy’s Co. has announced targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 47% across its system, including company operations, franchisees and top suppliers, by 2030 through new science-based targets.

The Dublin, Ohio-based burger brand announced near-term targets to reduce Scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and said the goals were recently approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

Wendy’s estimated that achieving the goal would avoid about 7.2 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent compared to business as usual, which is equal to removing more than 1.5 million gas-powered vehicles from the road in a single year.

“We recognize our role in using resources and energy, and we continue to prioritize delivering more to our customers with a smaller environmental footprint,” said Liliana Esposito, chief corporate affairs and sustainability office, in a statement.

“With our newly validated science-based targets,” Esposito said, “we have completed our climate roadmap nearly a year ahead of schedule, accelerating our journey to mitigate our climate impact.”

It’s going to cost more to eat at Wendy’s, because they will pass on the increased costs to consumers. Or, perhaps, reduce the number of employees will implementing more robots and ordering screens

In setting its Scope 3 science-based targets, Wendy’s identified two areas of focus for emissions reductions: purchased goods and franchised restaurants.

Purchased goods, such as food and packaging, represent nearly 85% of the system’s Scope 3 emissions, while Wendy’s more than 6,500 franchised restaurants contribute approximately 10% of Scope 3 emissions.

They seem to have extremely vague goals (see the article), but, really, they’ll most likely just be greenwashing, especially the franchised stores, who won’t want to spend all sorts of extra money to comply with this idiocy, nor rely on expensive, unreliable solar and wind. And, come on, have you seen their menu? It’s heavy on meat, frostys, and fries. Good grief, there is a burger with a bug hunk of fried cheese and pasta sauce on it. Lots of bacon, beef, chicken. How long will this cult madness go on?

Chinese Spy Balloon Was Monitoring Communication Channels, Biden Says It Was No Big Deal

By William Teach February 10, 2023 – 10:30 am

Well, of course Brandon had to say it was no big deal, because he let it fly across the entire United States without doing a damned thing

Biden says Chinese spy balloon not a major security breach

President Joe Biden, under fire from some lawmakers, said on Thursday he did not view a Chinese spy balloon that transited the United States before it was shot down in the Atlantic Ocean to have been a major security breach.

Biden, who has sought to maintain communications with China and not allow tensions with Beijing to get out of control, said in a Noticias Telemundo interview that he did not regret shooting down the balloon sooner.

“It’s not a major breach,” Biden said. “I mean, look, it’s totally … it’s a violation of international law. It’s our airspace. And once it comes into our space, we can do what we want with it.”

Perhaps he should have asked the State Department

(Breitbart) The Biden administration determined that the suspected Chinese spy balloon shot down on Saturday by the United States military was operating with electronic surveillance technology capable of monitoring communications signals, according to a senior State Department official on Thursday, multiple news outlets reported.

“High-resolution imagery from U-2 flybys revealed that the high-altitude balloon was capable of conducting signals intelligence collection operations,” the official said in reference to the Air Force’s high-altitude reconnaissance plane, Politico reported.

The official noted that the equipment on the Chinese spy balloon was “inconsistent” with what would be aboard a weather balloon since it had “multiple antennas to include an array likely capable of collecting and geo-locating communications.”

According to CNN, the official said that the balloon was “part of a PRC (People’s Republic of China) fleet of balloons developed to conduct surveillance operations,” which are “often undertaken at the direction of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA).”

And it flew within range of many, many military institutions, including nuclear weapons facilities. So, no big deal, right, Joe? China has supposedly overflown 40 countries with the balloons, a very low cost way of surveilling nations, especially with no one seeming to want to do anything about. If it’s no big deal, why is the Biden admin looking at ways to punish China? And

The solar panels were large enough to power that kind of intelligence activity, noted the official, who provided the information on the condition of anonymity to reveal sensitive intelligence and internal considerations.

But in a briefing hours later, the FBI said it couldn’t confirm the intent of the balloon based on what it has so far recovered.

“I don’t think we’re in a position based on what we’ve seen, based on the facts that we have at the FBI … to give you a determination. It’s just too early for us. Again, we’re only seeing a very small portion of the balloon’s payload at this point,” a senior FBI official said. “We have literally not seen the payload, which is where we would expect to see the lion’s share of the electronics.”

If we do not have enough information, how does Biden dismiss the balloon as no big deal? We might know more if he didn’t wait till it crossed the entire country then have it shot down over the Atlantic Ocean.

Kamala Takes Fossil Fueled Trip To Pump Up Youts To Get Jobs In ‘Climate Change’

By William Teach February 10, 2023 – 7:00 am

Nothing like having a bunch of neurotic, doom-focused kiddies working for companies, needing lots of time off and lots of kid gloves, eh?

VP Harris: Young people will ‘leapfrog’ this generation in climate change work because they won’t face the question: ‘Is this real?’

Kamala Climate ClownYoung people who are considering careers in climate change work have a significant advantage over older generations because they will not have to invest the same amount of effort convincing people that human-caused climate change is a problem, Vice President Kamala Harris told an audience at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta.

“Students who are here and those who are thinking about their role in this: You are going to come out and just leapfrog over all of us,” Harris said on Wednesday.

“Because, you know, especially for our younger leaders, the benefit that you have is you’re not burdened by any question about, ‘Is this real?’” she said.

That’s not currently the case, Harris said. “That is great because we’ve been having to deal with some folks who just literally … we’re kind of like, ‘Have you looked out the window?’”

I can’t wait till the youts modify their own lives to be carbon neutral, instead of taking lots of fossil fueled trips to places to take selfies and videos, etc and so forth, all the things I’ve written hundreds of times.

“Let’s all stay active in this and understand … this is the planet we’ve got. It is a precious place.  It is — it is a place that we have a responsibility for taking care of, and that there is a whole lot of work that can be done,” Harris said. “But the clock is not just ticking, it’s, like, banging. It is requiring us to move quickly. But there is so much to be excited about in terms of what we can do.”

Banging! It’s banging! And then Kamala took a fossil fueled flight back to D.C.

AOC Says It’s Like Slavery To Restrict Non-US Citizens From Voting In D.C.

By William Teach February 10, 2023 – 6:45 am

She’s 7 beers shorts of a 6 pack

AOC says GOP reviving ‘legacy of slavery’ by ending non-citizen voting rights in DC

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., implied Wednesday that racism lies behind this week’s push by Republicans to end voting rights for non-citizens in the capital of Washington, D.C.

House lawmakers debated a resolution that would disapprove of a D.C. Council law allowing non-citizens and illegal immigrants to vote in the city. Several Democrats took to the floor to argue that Republicans were looking to micromanage the city, and Ocasio-Cortez went further by saying the GOP seems to be targeting minorities.

She said Republicans “claim they believe in the sacred right to vote while denying that right to vote to an overwhelmingly Black city,” and accused Republicans of trying to “meddle into the business of D.C. residents.”

Ocasio-Cortez added that while other cities around the country have allowed non-citizens to vote, Republicans are only calling up legislation dealing with Washington, D.C.

“They’re singling out the residents of the District of Columbia and expanding in the history of disenfranchisement that goes all the way back to the legacy of slavery,” she argued.

There’s no legal right for non-citizens, especially illegal aliens, to vote in the U.S., and, as the District of Columbia is ultimately responsive to Congress. It was never meant to be a town with residents and private businesses and such, and, even the D.C. government’s webpage, in whining for statehood, states that “The Constitution dictates that the federal district be under the jurisdiction of the US Congress.” At the end of the day, the D.C. government is under the control of Congress, and every time they let a non-citizen vote they’re reducing the power of legal U.S. citizen votes.

AOC’s idiotic, race baiting argument further reduces the history of actual disenfranchisement of those who had previously been slaves. But, hey, she doesn’t seem to know much about the subject she earned an economics degree in, so, why would she know anything about history?

Sigh: Climate Crisis (scam) Is Causing More Earthquakes

By William Teach February 9, 2023 – 3:00 pm

I guess the editors at news outlets were giving a couple days respect for anywhere from 11,000-15,000 killed in the Turkey earthquakes

Climate change is triggering more earthquakes. Big Oil’s interests are a factor

On Monday, earthquakes in my country Turkey and neighbouring Syria left a trail of unprecedented devastation and a death toll surpassing 16,000 people at the last count.

We do not know for sure what triggered this horrific natural disaster, but we do know there is growing scientific evidence that climate change increases the risk of such tremors, together with tsunamis and volcanic eruptions.

“If a fault is primed or ready to rupture, all that is needed is the pressure of a handshake to set if off […] Environmental changes associated with rapid and accelerating climate breakdown could easily do the job,” professor of geophysics and climate hazards at University College London Bill McGuire pointed out back in 2012.

Sherman Potter Bull Cookies

Again, Turkey is at the intersection of 3 major plates, the Asian, European, and African, along with many minor plates, creating a vast network of major and minor fault lines

Furthermore, NASA scientists acknowledged that glaciers retreating due to global warming have been triggering earthquakes in Alaska in the last decades.

It’s Turkey. There are only a handful of places with glaciers, and none would have that type of effect

The impact is not limited to the Arctic. As melting glaciers change the distribution of weight across the Earth’s crust, the resulting “glacial isostatic adjustment” drives changes in plate tectonics that could lead to more earthquakes, awaken volcanoes and even affect the movement of the Earth’s axis.

And, according to the Cult of Climastrology, this is all your fault. Doesn’t matter that glaciers have been melting since the end of the last glacial age 20,000 years ago, or that there have been periods warmer than the current one, you need to be forced to change your life in a way that Warmists won’t in their own lives.

This particular consequence of global warming “warns us of a seismically turbulent future,” one recent study concluded.

F*ck right off, you insane loony tune doomsday cultists. How about being helpful, and do something for the people of Turkey, rather than being wackjobs?

You Don’t Say: California Law Causes Prostitutes To Be All Over All The Time

By William Teach February 9, 2023 – 10:30 am

When you repeal a law that banned loitering with the intent to engage in prostitution, well, what did you think was going to happen? Especially since California and so many Democratic Party run cities do not do anything about people wearing barely anything to nothing in public, performing adult acts in from of children, and just simple moral turpitude

California cities rattled by prostitution, human trafficking in broad daylight as cops pin blame on new law

unintended consequencesWomen wearing thongs in broad daylight on street corners, pimps following mothers taking their kids to school, and prostitutes twerking at traffic have become common scenes in California.

Local leaders claim human trafficking and prostitution are rampant in the Golden State after a new criminal justice reform that its author said aims to protect transgender women from being unfairly targeted by law enforcement.

“It’s absolutely out of control and dangerous — not just for the sex workers but for the community,” San Francisco Supervisor Hillary Ronen told the San Francisco Chronicle this week.

A road in the heart of San Francisco’s Mission District has become lined with prostitutes and pimps, prompting city officials to install barricades as residents sound off that not only do they feel less safe – especially at night – but that they are worried about the women working the streets.

I wonder how many people voted for the Democrats that voted to repeal the law, and are surprised and upset over getting what they voted for?

Pimps in Oakland have reportedly stationed prostitutes outside a Catholic grade school, where parents said they walk their kids to school past women wearing next to nothing – or even naked.

“It’s every day, during all periods of the day,” mother Rosa Vargas told ABC 7. Vargas claimed that pimps have even followed Vargas down the street on a couple of occasions. Some of the prostitutes look very young and are likely underage, according to residents and local leaders.

And there’s a huge concern over many of the women being trafficked, but, the cops have their hands tied thanks to the law

Police departments and Republican leaders in the state are pinning blame for the overt prostitution on a new law that went into effect on Jan. 1. Senate Bill 357 repealed a previous law that banned loitering with the intent to engage in prostitution.

“California Democrats’ policy of legalizing crime is creating more victims by the hour,” GOP Assembly leader James Gallagher said in a statement.

“Under Democratic rule, families and businesses are moving out, while human traffickers are moving in,” Gallagher added. “It was clear from the get-go that this law would encourage and enable human trafficking, but that was apparently an acceptable result for the lawmakers who backed it.”

Per that ABC7 article above, it was introduced by State Sen. Scott Wiener because he felt that the law about going after those who had the “intent to engage in prostitution” was disproportionately targeting transgender women. So, to protect a tiny, tiny segment of the population, SB357 has now increased visible prostitution, put them in front of schools and children, made communities unsafe, and increase human trafficking. He and interest groups supported the repeal of the intent law, never really truly considering the effects, because that’s what Democrats do

But Los Angeles police sources who spoke to Fox News Digital said the law is “definitely” handcuffing them from cracking down on prostitution. The police said that because of the reform they can only make arrests if a suspect admits to prostitution, which they said is a rarity.

Don’t expect the loony tunes Democrats who run the government in full to do a damned thing. There will just be more people leaving the cities, at least those who can afford to.

Climate Cult Scientists Want To Create A Cloud Of Moon Dust Around The Earth

By William Teach February 9, 2023 – 7:15 am

What could possibly go wrong? Of course, the scientists will get lots and lots of government funding, and live pretty good lives with it

These researchers want to launch dust from the moon to help cool Earth

Imagine a world where global warming on Earth has meaningfully diminished. Fossil fuels are on the back burner. Affordable renewable energy sources run most of our activities. Oh, and there’s a cannon on the moon shooting lunar dust into space to help partially shield sunlight to Earth.

That’s one eyebrow-raising approach for cooling our planet proposed by a group of astrophysicists in a study published Wednesday in PLOS Climate. The team used computer simulations to model various scenarios where massive quantities of dust (and we mean a lot of dust) in space can reduce the amount of Earthbound sunlight by 1 to 2 percent, or up to about six days of an obscured sun in a year. Their cheapest and most efficient idea is to launch dust from the moon, which would land into orbit between the sun and Earth and create a sunshade.

Yes, the idea sounds like science fiction. Yes, it would require (a lot of) new engineering. Yes, there are more feasible climate mitigation tactics that can be employed now and in the near future. But the researchers view this rigorous physics experiment as a backup option that could aid — not replace — existing strategies to help humankind live on a more comfortable Earth.

Considering that most of their computer simulations have been wrong, from a bit wrong to spectacularly wrong, this won’t go well. But, they’ll piss away lots of your tax dollars for this pie in the sky idiocy.

(New Scientist) Launching a dust cloud from the moon to block sunlight reaching Earth could reduce global warming, but such a strategy may require more than a decade’s worth of research before it can be implemented. The risks involved with such an approach in terms of how it could affect agriculture, ecosystems and water quality in different parts of the world are also unclear.

They can run all the simulations they want, but, they really do not know the effects.

Ron DeSantis Tells Trump He Doesn’t Spend Time Smearing Republicans

By William Teach February 9, 2023 – 7:00 am

This stuff is not help

Trump shares photos of DeSantis alleging he partied and drank with high school girls when he was a teacher

Former President Donald Trump reposted a photo on Tuesday of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis that accused him of drinking alcohol with minors when he was a high school teacher.

“That’s not Ron, is it? He would never do such a thing!” Trump wrote sarcastically on his social media app, Truth Social.

The picture shows a 23-year-old DeSantis smiling between three women with blurred out faces, whose ages aren’t clear. One of the females in the photos is holding a brown glass bottle but DeSantis isn’t pictured drinking. Still, the caption reads, “Here is Ron DeSantimonious grooming high school girls with alcohol as a teacher,” followed by the vomit emoji.

Ron gave the perfect response

DeSantis says he won’t fight with Trump over Truth Social photos with high schoolers: ‘I don’t spend my time trying to smear other Republicans’

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday responded to former President Donald Trump’s sharing of a photo alleging the governor drank alcohol with minors when he was a high school teacher.

“I spend my time delivering results for the people of Florida and fighting against Joe Biden,” DeSantis said during a press conference in Ocala, Florida. “That’s how I spend my time. I don’t spend my time trying to smear other Republicans.”

DeSantis generally takes questions from the media after most press conferences, on any topic. In this case the focus of the press conference was to announce massive tax cuts in Florida with GOP legislative leaders.

Unlike Trump’s freewheeling style, DeSantis is scripted and disciplined during his public appearances. He doesn’t take questions at the end of some events and at times he eschews public appearances.

Amid criticism from the former president, DeSantis generally has stayed away from hitting Trump directly. Instead, his messages tend to be more subliminal. On Tuesday, for instance, DeSantis held an event on defamation laws in which he praised a conservative lawyer who represented Dominion Voting Machines in its defamation lawsuit against Trump ally Mike Lindell.

Will Ron run or won’t he? Regardless, I’ve noted before that it’s a bad idea for Trump to be dropping blue on blue fire, as it damages other Republicans. Seriously, how does this help? The bull in a china shop act is old, as is smearing other Republicans, which harms them and creates divisions. And, let’s say Trump loses the primaries: he will have made it that much harder for the winner to win the White House, and can damage Republicans taking the Senate and keeping the House.

He really just needs to drop out. Let the ego go. His time has passed, and he really has no shot at winning the White House again, as I’ve said many times. His policies do not matter: it’s electibility. It’s gone.
