Parents ask for body armor so they can rush the school. Instead they're handcuffed while they hear shots going off in the school. Tough to watch...

It's weird every time Fauci looks for a cure, the virus spreads like wildfire.

Anthony Fauci’s National Institutes of Health agency was funding research to identify treatments for monkeypox shortly before the virus began spreading in a global outbreak.Fauci’s agency, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), has previously come under scrutiny for funding bat coronavirus research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which many public health experts and intelligence officials believe to be the source of COVID-19.
NIAID has also funded research into potential cures for monkeypox, shortly before the viral disease began spreading in a global outbreak. The curious timing of the NIAID grant comes amidst pharmaceutical giants including Pfizer and Johson & Johnson making record-level profits due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The grant supports a “randomized, placebo-controlled trial of the safety and efficacy of tecovirimat for the treatment of patients with monkeypox virus disease.”
“The funding supports a clinical trial to identify effective treatments for monkeypox virus disease,” explains a summary of the research, which, despite beginning in September 2020, has not generated any publicly available studies, papers, or patents.
“The similarity between monkeypox and the variola virus, coupled with concerns about the potential of the variola virus as a potential bioterrorism agent, have placed monkeypox treatments at the forefront of public health and scientific research agendas in many countries,” adds the grant summary.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant database shows that $9,824,009 was sent to Leidos Biomedical Research, which partners with the NIH’s National Cancer Institute (NCI) to operate Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research, in 2021.
The grant, which is set to conclude on September 27th, 2025, was distributed to Lori Dodd, who serves as a Mathematical Statistician in the Biostatistics Research Branch of the NIAID.
The grant follows The National Pulse unearthing the Wuhan Institute of Virology’s recent research assembling strains of the monkeypox virus to be able to conduct PCR tests.Dodd was previously exposed for her involvement in the NIAID’s efforts to cover up the agency reportedly altering the endpoint in a trial testing the effects of remdesivir against COVID-19 to make it look more effective.

An interesting ruling from the Supreme Court...
They have vacated the Fifth Circuit’s stay of the district court’s preliminary injunction blocking Texas' HB120 "Social media law."
That's a complicated way of saying that the Court has said that Texas may not ban social media platforms from moderating content based on the viewpoints of its users.

I'm really conflicted by this one.
On the one hand, I'm pretty much a free-speech absolutist.
On the other hand, MT could easily be considered a social media platform, and while I pretty much never delete posts which contain wild, far-left or far-right conspiracy BS no matter how outlandish, I do appreciate being able to permaban the occasional moron.

We all know that $$$$ talks. As much as I dislike it, until social media is considered public forum they have the same 1st amendment right to moderate as they like.
Texas should just ban social media entirely, call it a public health initiative.
