It is easy to tell who really believes in climate change and is willing to make the sacrifices needed to fight it.

Was really excited to see some effects om target during a CAS live fire demonstration, but ended up seeing nothing because they shot at dirt nearly 3 km out and behind a bern. What’s the point?
Sometimes the military just don’t make sense to me.

A man and a woman who had never met before found themselves assigned to the same sleeping room on a trans-continental train…
Though initially embarrassed and uneasy over sharing a room, they were both very tired and fell asleep quickly, him in the upper bunk and her in the lower.
At 1:00 a.m., the man leaned down and gently woke the woman saying, “Ma’am, I’m sorry to bother you, but would you be willing to reach into the closet to get me a second blanket? I’m awfully cold.”
“I have a better idea,” she replied.
“Just for tonight, let’s pretend we’re married.”
“Wow! That’s a great idea!” he exclaimed.
“Good,” she replied. “Get your own fooking blanket.”
After a moment of silence, he farted.

Florida is going to drop mandatory vaccinations for public school attendance. This should be interesting. As a side note, the state now leads the country for education…which is a big change from when I went to UF. Under DeSantos things have improved a great deal.
We’ll see how this goes. I suspect it will be like gun control.
People tend to see what they want to see, and the statistics usually back the money. But…still, it will be interesting.
Yes! Hopefully other red states quickly follow Florida’s lead. Many are calling for Joe Ladapo to take the now-vacant CDC Director position.

I can already see the lies that will be based on red and blue state vaccine-induced autism statistics.
Who will know the truth?
Leftists are already retarded.

Why yes, let’s make polio, diphtheria, measles, rubella, pertussis, mumps, and tetanus great again.

They are still offering vaccinations to those who want them.
It just won’t be obligatory for public school attendance.
Also, some will reject certain vaccines and not others.
Might offer a sizable “control group” which we don’t really have now.

Where was that attitude when illegal aliens flood the country with polio, diphtheria, measles, rubella, pertussis, mumps, and tetanus?
Full consideration: There are a some vaccines which have a pretty established track record for doing what they promise with very rare side effects. All of these vaccines are on that list. Reasonable parents should approve of these.
The covid vaccine was untested and did not do what it promised.
Anybody who confuses these differences is foolish… or is the media/government pushing Big Pharma profits.

I doubt at this point that polio is going to make a comeback.
It has been eradicated for sometime. “Wild” polio is less prevalent than the polio contracted via “live” vaccine in other parts of the world. Surely there comes a time when a vaccine is not needed? We don’t still get immunized against smallpox.
Tetanus, on the other hand is very prevalent. The endospores are ubiquitous and lie dormant until “activated” by the right conditions.

Kind of related, I took our dogs to the vet a couple of days ago, since we have moved to Florida. One needed an update on her vaccinations. I got the standard ones required for boarding. The vet asked if I wanted the leptospirosis vaccine and I asked if it was necessary (in Colorado it wasn’t). She said they are going to start requiring it next year.
Some background on the lepto vaccine, when I lived in Colorado one neighbor’s puppy got meningitis from the lepto vaccine. The dog was so ill it eventually had to be put down a little before its second birthday. The puppy had a neurologist, and they had insurance but the whole thing ended up costing them thousands of dollars for a dog that had no quality of life. The neighbors all knew about it, so when another neighbor was going to get her puppy a lepto vaccine (since it was still so highly recommended), she was told what to look for so she could catch it right away. Sure enough, her puppy also got meningitis from the vaccine. Her puppy was much better off because it received treatment right away. I was told such things were extraordinarily rare but I decided not to give this to my dogs. Two cases of vaccine contracted meningitis right across the street from me would seem to indicate the cost to gains didn’t work out.
Since they are going to require this vaccine next year (and it is highly, highly recommended by vets) I thought I’d look into the exact risk. How many cases in this county, for example?
None. No cases in this county whatsoever in the last 10 years. There are about 2-6 cases (sometimes none) in the entire state of Florida, yearly.

One very admirable thing about Trump is his ability to structure binary choice situations so he wins with either outcome.
The latest example is to suggest banning trassexuals from having guns.
There has been nothing but silence from the left… and may never be anything more.
They are still processing if they should be outraged at Trump’s authoritarian assault on trans rights… or if they really want to loudly demand the right to own guns.
This is a libtard divide-by-zero moment.
I have been suggesting for years that 50% of violent crime can be solved instantly by banning black people from owning guns. I have yet to find anyone who will take this tasty yet toxic bait.
Libtards are not smart but their lizard brain does have some survival instincts.
My other favorite is that the government should support marginalized women’s reproductive right by fully paying for no-questions-asked abortion on demand. This service helps overcome systemic discrimination and a history of oppression of minority women.
This is more elegant and subtle.
The libtards cheer that on with retard enthusiasm. Occasionally, a marginally brighter one will think that through… waaaait a minute.
Generally, they just shut down. Sometimes, they propose a workaround that borders on insanity.
If all libtard positions can be framed in such a way, a lot of the crazy will evaporate as the debate becomes internalized to the extent a libtard has that ability.

23-year-old Iryna Zarutska was butchered on a Charlotte light rail, her throat cut open by a violent repeat offender who had been arrested 14 times previously.
I’m starting to believe that our justice system is so corrupted we need to hold judges personally liable for damages when they release obviously violent criminals back on the streets again and again. These are the people who want Daniel Penny behind bars. They have no place in a free society. There is no freedom when criminals roam with impunity.
(I can see why China would want to vilify people like Penny and reward criminals within the US as it is destabilizing for us, so they collect useful idiots via social media…our judges should not be among them)

Good point, @Liz. There are multiple approaches to destroying American freedoms and false judges are busy destroying our faith in the law.
Along with local/State/Federal overspending, unrestrained legal and illegal immigration increasing overall crime, housing shortages, education costs, and unemployment, there are perverts attacking basic family values all over our schools and entertainment.
We hardly have time to notice the good things in life—which remain many. So I’ll borrow a joke from AoSHQ
The judge says to a double-homicide defendant, “You’re charged with beating your wife to death with a hammer.”
A voice at the back of the courtroom yells out, “You bastard!”
The judge says, “You’re also charged with beating your mother-in-law to death with a hammer.”
The voice in the back of the courtroom yells out, “You damned bastard!”
The judge stops, and says to the guy in the back of the courtroom, “Sir, I can understand your anger and frustration at this crime. But no more outbursts from you, or I’ll charge you with contempt. Is that a problem?”
The guy in the back of the court stands up and says, “For fifteen years, I’ve lived next door to that bastard, and every time I asked to borrow a hammer, he said he didn’t have one.”
This is how it “works” in the age of social media. The method behind the madness.

There are parts of America were the chances of being a homicide victim are nearly 4x the chance of dying in wartime Iraq/Afganistan. As a woman, she might have had better odds staying in Ukraine.

“I’m starting to believe that our justice system is so corrupted we need to hold judges personally liable for damages when they release obviously violent criminals back on the streets again and again.”
Liz, here is a tinfoil hat theory that offers one of the best explanations for this insanity.
What if a large percentage of the population are not real people?
Real people have a pattern of behavior that is quite rational and predictable, not just on first order issues like eating when hungry, but on higeher order issues like, “If I do this, the result will be…”
Yet we see a large, and perhaps increasing, number of people who make their decisions based on destructive, and self-destructive, external programming rather than agendas based on morality or self interests.
This has always been the case with stupid people. But it seems we are seeing it more and more with semi-people who have to be a certain level of smartness to get into their position. But then they become irrational.
Some of this can be explained by many people in positions of power were allowed to get there because they were owned by those with a very different agenda.
“Congradulations on your judgeship. In the interests of supporting the social disorder we need to stay in power, kindly be lenient to career criminals likely to violently repeat and make sure to crack down on anyone defending themselves. Working with us like this will ensure the pictures of you and the boy never see the light of day.”
But, as we saw during covid, many “people” refused to do a personal risk assessment and enthusiastically volunteered to be a lab rat for Big Pharmacy while condemning those who showed rational thought.
These cognative sub-humans don’t deserve the label of “people”.
This idea gets further support when you try to discuss the chain of thinking that leads to their ideas. Nothing.
A real person can justify every action and opinion. If the facts change, their opinion changes. An inferior person rationalizes and lies to themselves about the reasons for their bad decision, but they will address it. A sub-person simply refuses to discuss it. They have been programmed and they will not address anything that will break their programming.
