    Liberal Parent Trying To Figure Out How To Cheer For His Son Brandon Life
    October 20th, 2021 - BabylonBee.com
      ST. LOUIS, MO—Local liberal Joe Bailey has for years enjoyed cheering on his son Brandon at his Little League soccer games, but lately that has proven difficult, since his cheering typically involves shouting the insurrectionist chant "Let's Go Brandon" from the stands.
    "I try to be so careful, but every so often in the excitement, I let slip a ‘Let’s go Brandon!’" said Bailey. "Then all the parents join in chanting, the game devolves into fits of laughter, and all the Trump supporters are trying to give me a high-five. It’s horrible!" 
    According to sources, Mr. Bailey has thought about changing his son's name to something like "Bandleigh" or "Braidlynio" to make things a bit easier.
    "Woooo!" said Bailey as his son made a great play, trying desperately to avoid using the dreaded phrase. "Let's go... bud! Well played! Positive reinforcement!" 
    Just then, Brandon scored a goal, causing his dad to jump to his feet and involuntarily scream "LET'S GO BRANDON!", causing the entire crowd to join in.
    Joe Bailey is now on 12 FBI watch lists.

    So I want to be sure I understand, unless six million people dying via genocide are involved, you do not believe any parallels can be drawn from the rise of the National Socialist German Workers Party? We can't look at their step-by-step rise to power from 1920 to 1933, and how during those years the Nazi anti-Jewish policy functioned on two primary levels: legal measures to expel the Jews from society and strip them of their rights and property while simultaneously engaging in campaigns of incitement, abuse, terror and violence of varying proportions?
    The Nazis had one goal: to make the Jews leave Germany. And at that time they were free to do so. After Hitler assumed power in 1933, organized attacks on the Jews began, and only weeks thereafter Dachau was opened as a concentration camp.
    Can you and I agree that since the vaccines have become available, there has been a slow progression of the pressure being put upon the un-vaccinated? And can we further agree that we have progressed from discussion and persuasion to various measures of force from government authorities? And can't we also agree that if governments start mandating the vaccine with threats of losing jobs, freedoms, and liberty - that there are parallels to the Nazi tactics against the Jews from 1920 to 1933?
    Every day I read headlines like:
    CNN medical analyst suggests life 'needs to be hard' for unvaccinated Americans
    or
    You Don't Deserve Health Care if You're Not Vaccinated
    and those are on the mild side. And didn't the US Department of Homeland Security recently label the unvaccinated as a potential Domestic Terrorist threat, similar to how the Jews were accused of being enemies of the Reich?

    These types of threats and policies are very similar to the Nazi's anti-Jewish measures prior to beginning the final solution, so I have difficulty understanding why the comparison is unjust or disrespectful.
    The goal is to stop these types of measures early. How much suffering could have been avoided if the German people had stopped the Nazi's before they came to power?
    You can't expect people to be pushed into a corner with threats to their jobs and freedoms, by the very government that should be holding their freedom sacred, to not fight back.
    What kind and respectful name would you suggest for the Vaccine Authorities who are labeling me a terrorist threat to my country, wanting to deny me healthcare, travel, and housing, and potentially firing me from my job? I choose Vazis.
    I truly wish it had not progressed to this point, but as the vaccinated population in this country grew in size, mob mentality set in. Now the leaders in that majority want mob rule. I can't stay idle any longer. I've unfortunately been forced to speak up against those leaders.

    You can't "winterize" a transmission grid and the associated generation in a short time. It's a multi-year proposal. It's a bit like hoping that Texas builds enough highways and roads in a year to relieve all traffic jams. Infrastructure isn't something that can be changed quickly. Your state PUC is the entity that controls how much investment is made in the grid, not the power companies. The PUC holds the purse strings by limiting the ROI for utilities. No utility builds anything unless they know that they can recover the costs.

    Yeah, I pretty much agree with you there.  No matter how good of a case can be made, "ouch that hurt" sometimes just ends up winning the day.  Fortunately for us, the modus operandi for new viruses, is they get to mutating into less harmful and deadly forms over time.
    My personal amount of "done with this" is directly tied to how many vaccinated people are overloading our hospitals and morgues with their COVID-related things.  Once I read this article, it dawned on me it's probably not happening anywhere, at least not in the US.

    And at the end of the day, we're all descended from humans who survived the Spanish flu. It was a foregone conclusion from the beginning with 'rona that this story would eventually end up with a similar ending.  The only question was how much misery and despair and stuff we'd have to endure before it dropped off our radars.

    I have been hearing reports because of the unconstitutional president vaccine mandates that 30% of pilots may lose their jobs.  The effects may be with less pilots there will be less flights and shipment of goods.  The same thing may happen with truckers and trucks.  More shortages of goods may be in the future.  I hope they are wrong but I do not think so.

    24 Wherefore, the Lord commandeth you, when ye shall see these things come among you that ye shall awake to a sense of your awful situation, because of this asecret combination which shall be among you; or wo be unto it, because of the blood of them who have been slain; for they cry from the dust for vengeance upon it, and also upon those who built it up.
    25 For it cometh to pass that whoso buildeth it up seeketh to overthrow the afreedom of all lands, nations, and countries; and it bringeth to pass the destruction of all people, for it is built up by the devil, who is the father of all lies; even that same liar who bbeguiled our first parents, yea, even that same liar who hath caused man to commit murder from the beginning; who hath chardened the hearts of men that they have dmurdered the prophets, and stoned them, and cast them out from the beginning.

    IMHO this was a warning for our day. It never said how they were going to accomplish this "overthrow", just that it would happen. The words "awake to a sense of you awful situation" implies that by the time most church members recognize what is happening it will probably be too late. Those who don't believe that powerful men conspire should go back to watching their TVs because they are a hindrance to recognizing the problem. Nothing seems to be beyond their reach and power anymore - create pandemics, forcing vaccines, controlling banking for the rich, courts siding with unconstitutional laws, food supplies withheld, shipping suddenly being constrained, money being watched, governments falling apart. They are here, and they already run things and Jesus Christ is the only answer to their control. God bless the Saints in these latter days, they are going to get tough.

    Comparing the types of governmental actions that the National Socialists took in Germany to the actions being taken now is in no way disrespectful. The six million deaths was an eventual result of where those types of actions ultimately led, and avoiding similar paths is both wise and prudent. 
    Yes I believe in learning from history. Nobody ever imagined the Nazi movement would lead to such a result at the beginning. It started subtle, but step-by-step it was tolerated.
    Do you not believe that threatening people's jobs and freedoms based on a desire to force them to be vaccinated against their will is serious? Or are you in agreement with throwing them into the streets and preventing them from providing for their families? To me it strikes at the heart of personal freedom and is serious enough for the comparison to the early actions of the National Socialists.

    I gotta say, I was a bit put off by the weird filming colors and soft focus edges and stuff. I mean I think I always am, but for some reason I forget after a time and so it always surprises me when I go back and watch it again. I get, sort of, what they were going for. I just think it failed. Otherwise, I'm not a fan of the baritone/soprano leads. I much prefer the tenor/alto lead set up. Or, if you pull my arm, tenor/soprano. Baritone leads...no thanks. Let the baritones be the bad guys.
    Overall, though, I like South Pacific.

    NY Hospital Forced To Stop Delivering Babies After Maternity Workers Resign Over Vaccine
    A hospital in upstate New York has been forced to 'pause' the delivery of babies starting Sept. 24 after a flood of maternity workers resigned over Covid-19 vaccine mandates.

    Lewis County Health System CEO Gerald Cayer made the announcement in a Friday press conference, according to WWNY. According to Cayer, six employees in the maternity unit resigned and another seven are 'undecided,' rendering the hospital unable to safely deliver children.
    "If we can pause the service and now focus on recruiting nurses who are vaccinated, we will be able to reengage in delivering babies here in Lewis County," said Cayer.

    8 September 2021: Another false Covid belief meets the reality of actual data
    Don't Vaccinate Teenage Boys!
    Research conducted by the University of California has found that teenage boys are six times more likely to suffer from heart problems caused by the COVID-19 vaccine than to be hospitalized as a result of COVID-19 itself. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.08.30.21262866v1
    A team led by Dr. Tracy Hoeg at the University of California investigated the rate of cardiac myocarditis – heart inflammation – and chest pain in children aged 12-17 following their second dose of the vaccine. They then compared this with the likelihood of children needing hospital treatment owing to Covid-19, at times of low, moderate and high rates of hospitalization.
    Researchers found that the risk of heart complications for boys aged 12-15 following the vaccine was 162.2 per million, which was the highest out of all the groups they looked at. This compares to the risk of a healthy boy being hospitalized as a result of a COVID infection, which is around 26.7 per million, meaning the risk they face from the vaccine is 6.1 times higher!
