    Dick or Kamala, I just can’t decide

    ‘A USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll released last week shows that Kamala Harris is now the most unpopular Vice President in history’…

    … Business Insider notes that “The closest comparison – which involves slightly different methodology and margins of error – would be former Vice President Dick Cheney, the most unpopular US vice president in polling history.”

    The governor faced criticism in recent days after he abruptly canceled his trip to the COP26 in Glasgow, Scotland, over “family obligations.” Local news outlet KABC reported that Newsom’s trip had been in the works for more than a year.’

    Young Turks admit they were wrong about Rittenhouse.
    Young Turks don’t do research:

    ‘ Speaking about the currently ongoing trial during a show last week, the Young Turks co-host explained that she previously thought Rittenhouse chased after a man named Joseph Rosenbaum before fatally shooting him.

    However, video of the incident shows Rosenbaum chased Rittenhouse as a third person fired a gunshot into the air, causing Rittenhouse to turn around and shoot Rosenbaum.

    “I was wrong about that, okay, so I want to correct the record,” Kasparian said. “Look, these details matter, because if you’re going to make an argument that you acted in self-defense, there needs to be some proof that there was an imminent threat.”

    “Now, what really mattered to me was how all of this unfolded,” she continued. “What was the thing that sparked it, what started all of it? And, initially, I was under the assumption that Rittenhouse was the person who was chasing after Joseph Rosenbaum — that’s how it started. But I was wrong about that. I was in fact wrong about that, and to show you the evidence to reinforce that I was wrong about that, I want to go to this video.”

    Thank goodness this kind of thing doesn’t happen anymore:

    A statement by former Australian prisoner of War, Captain John J. Murphy, about medical experiments conducted on himself and others whilst held prisoner at Tunnel Hill Camp, Rabaul (New Britain):

    “Dr Hirano conducted malarial experiments on myself and others. We were carefully examined, blood-slides taken twice daily and results recorded. I and another had positive results, about six others had negative. These men the Dr collected [from those held prisoner by the Japanese at Rabaul] and told them that he was going to inject the blood of healthy Japanese into them.

    Two of the men were very weak and sick and the experiment was generally conducted without proper medical supervision and in the absence of decent medical conditions. Myself and Sgt. Palmer of the USAAF who had shown a positive daily result to malaria tests were injected on two occasions with 20 ccs of a serum which the Dr had said had been formed in live sheep. His object was to try and immunise Palmer and myself against malaria. Speaking for myself I was willing for the experiment to be conducted.

    The two sick men injected with blood died a few days later and the Dr was not present, and although telephone for did not arrive. Some of the other men developed malaria and did receive a little quinine. Before the experiment the Dr informed them and particularly me as the senior officer of the prison camp that those men had been many months in prison without mosquito nets and with poor food and that they had no malaria. He considered they had developed an immunity and was anxious to see if he could promote malaria by injecting them with the blood of those Japanese soldiers.

    After the two men died he expressed his regret and said they had malignant malaria and their death was not due to the blood injection. When peace was declared he congratulated us on our survival and again referred to his experiment and carefully informed me in the presence of the others that the Japanese soldiers whose blood he had used had developed and [sic] immunity to malaria and he thought that by injecting their blood into the prisoners-of-war he could induce a similar immunity in the prisoners. He was very careful to make this point clear and that the experiment was for our benefit and health.”

    Revealed: Gavin Newsom Skipped Climate Summit for Billionaire Oil Heiress’s Wedding

    California Gov. Gavin Newsom skipped the Glasgow climate summit and attended the wedding of billionaire heiress Ivy Getty last weekend instead, according to a glowing Vogue magazine on the elaborate, lavish affair in San Francisco.

    The wedding took place on Saturday, with Newsom in attendance and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) presiding.

    If only we could find a way to harness unicorn flatus. The Hun:

    Aussie entrepreneurs who invente technologies to help us hit net zero emissions by 2050 or get a 1 billion dollar boost.
    Modernised solar panels, more efficient batteries, livestock supplements and underground carbon storage could all be filled by the new fund to be unveiled by the Prime Minister in a major speech on Wednesday.
    Mr Morrison kicked off his week in Melbourne with a media Blitz on Tuesday, holding campaign-style events across key government held seats including Higgins and Chisholm as he also announced his governments plant increase Australia’s uptake of electric vehicles.
    The new low emissions technology fund will offer capital investments to help grow startups that may otherwise struggle to commercialize their creations, with half the money coming from the government and half to be raised from the private sector.
    “Australia can become a world leader in creating low emissions technology that is both affordable and scalable, helping get emissions down while creating jobs,” Mr Morrison and said. “We are backing Australian businesses by creating an environment for their successful ideas to thrive.”
    The fund will be overseen by the Clean Energy Finance Corporation, the world’s largest government owned bank.

    US Surgeon General and Pfizer CEO are on the same page. Must be a coincidence.

    US Surgeon General Warns Against ‘Misleading Memes’

    You must check with your overlords before sharing Covid vaccine information:

    – Did you check with the CDC or local public health department to see whether there is any information about the claim being made?

    – Did you ask a credible health care professional such as your doctor or nurse if they have any additional information?

    – Did you type the claim into a search engine to see if it has been verified by a credible source?

    – Did you look at the “About Us” page on the website to see if you can trust the source?

    “If you’re not sure, don’t share,” the toolkit states.

    Pfizer’s Albert Bourla said people who circulate misinformation about Covid jabs and dare speak ill of his product are “criminals.”

    “They’re not bad people. They’re criminals because they have literally cost millions of lives,” he said.
