(not to be flippant…a person is dead because of negligent firearm handling)

Go here, read.

And if you don’t have Adaptive Curmudgeon on you list of blogs to check often, then you should. (It is likely that readers of this blog do already, but just in case….)

You can find him in my links on the right side >>>>(‘Cause you can tell he ain’t on the left….)

Seems that the Antarctic continent has had it’s coldest winter ever recorded..

Of course, we are reminded that “Weather is not Climate” in the article (and it isn’t, and there is a significant difference between the two), but isn’t it interesting how the Media forgets that part and doesn’t mention that when they are proclaiming record high temps are caused by Global Warming?

Or, as they call it now, “Climate Change”.

Have you noticed? All those mitigation efforts have essentially disappeared in the wake of the “Covid Emergency”. No one is talking about “Climate Change”…not even Al the Gore. People line up at drive throughs like it was 1999,,,spewing tons of auto exhaust….no one cares about the environment anymore? Or is it that the RightThink that was Global Warming has now become the RigthtThink that is Covid? Have people found another set of words and actions they can follow and say that will make them fit in better? Dialectic to repeat in order to be Socially Acceptable? Words to Repeat  and actions to be Seen Doing in order to Fit In?

Hell, even White Guilt and Check Your Privilege has gone by the wayside since Covid came out.

So here we see that Defiance works.

Southwest Airlines caves on vaccine mandate

It isn’t easy to run an airline when your hard to replace employees stand firm and say “NO!”. Flight attendants, pilots, ground personnel, etc. can be replaced, just no quickly. It takes years to train a pilot, moths to train a flight attendant, and more than a few weeks to train those ground personnel (just getting them federally certified to work the line takes weeks).

So Southwest is in a bind….their employees don’t want to take the Jab, and are refusing. The Feds are telling them that they have to do so (apparently there is an OSHA mandate in the works to make forcing them legal, but it isn’t a mandate yet) but they have to have employees to fly passengers…..And they caved to reality.

The crack are forming. This should be interesting.

As an aside, since Joe has exempted the Federal Courts and the Postal Service, would the Southwest folks be able to claim “Equal Protection under the Law”? I mean, if the Postal Service folks are not enough of a threat (covid wise) then why should the Southwest workers be a threat to public health? Kinda inconsistent, doncha think? (Makes me believe that this is a Political Mandate rather than a Public Health Mandate).

Either way, we see how large groups of hard to replace people can set the rules.

Dies “from Covid-19”.

Now, he was an old man, but still, here we have an example of a person who has the best possible health care, “Fully vaccinated” , having gotten a case of Covid and losing his life over it. It would appear that the shot didn’t help him (or his wife) from getting covid.

Why, again, should I get my covid shot?  It does not, apparently, protect one from covid…..which is weird ’cause I heard the Federal Government tell me just the other day that it would. That I should “Trust US” enough to believe them that this would keep me healthy.

My condolences to General Powell’s family and friends.

Spent the weekend celebrating her marriage to her new husband.

I heartily approve.

And a good time was had by all.

But when did those people get so old?

So the City of Chicago blinked….

“No officers will be sent home regardless of “Vaccine” status.

They realize that they need the cops more than the cops need them. Faced with at least half of their force being unable to work due to the new rules, the Chicago Administration (Lightfoot) backed down.

Win.

Every time I drive….As I keep seeing, more and more, people driving their cars, alone WITH MASKS ON.

It makes me want to weep for my nation…these people vote, after all.

Seems that less than half of the Chicago Police officers have taken the “Vaccine” and their deadline is tomorrow.

The FOP has said that officers should show up for duty and force their superiors to send them home.

It is expected that if the City of Chicago enforces the “Mandate” that there will be less than half the normal number of police officers on duty this weekend.

I feel for the folks on the South and West sides, and all the other neighborhoods where only the Police are keeping the crime away.

I expect the City to blink, but we shall see.
