New York Times reporter Steven Lee Myers warns that the lawsuit "could disrupt the Biden administration's already struggling efforts to combat disinformation." He worries that "the First Amendment has become, for better or worse, a barrier to virtually any government efforts to stifle a problem that, in the case of a pandemic, threatens public health and, in the case of the integrity of elections, even democracy itself." As Myers frames the issue, freedom of speech is a threat to "public health" and "even democracy itself."

******* science; i hate you (for now)

Conclusions

Vaccinated infected groups appear to have higher average mortality than their non-vaccinated infected counterparts. The findings suggest the legitimacy of extending the statistic between vaccinated living and vaccinated dead individuals for different age groups. Calculating the impact of Covid-19 vaccination on the mortality rate is a necessary step toward satisfying the first principle of medicine: “Primum non nocere”, “Do no harm”.
I also read it increases your chance of dying of the suddenlies.

Ah ye, the classic situation of hoping government allows you to have your Rights, while they consider how dangerous it is for you to have them.

nothing to see here.

https://justthenews.com/politics-pol...er-after-train

Ohio Department of Natural Resources wildlife officers found dead fish in Leslie Run, Bull Creek, and a portion of the North Fork of Beaver Creek, agency spokeswoman Stephanie O'Grady told Just the News on Tuesday.

"The estimated stream length [affected] is approximately 7 ½ miles. We continue to work with the Ohio EPA and the environmental company hired by Norfolk Southern to determine the number of fish that were killed," she wrote in an email. "As of February 8th, we estimate the spill killed 3,500 fish. Most of the fish appear to be small suckers, minnows, darters, and sculpin."

In order to avoid an explosion of toxic chemicals in the derailed train, officials released vinyl chloride from some of the cars. East Palestine residents returned to their homes late last week after they were evacuated following the derailment.

The Washington Post has officially gone on record as stating "We must take the guns away."

To have grown up idolizing people such as Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, and to see how their ideals have become corrupted by those who inherited their legacy, saddens me in a way which I cannot quite find the words to properly articulate.

One of those guys isn't a reporter by trade. He's a US military officer said to be working with a project called Mockingbird. There are no coincidences. (X-Files theme plays in background)

So, Nikki Haley...

51 years old, born Nimrata Nikki Randhawa, first-generation American daughter of Ajit Singh and Raj Kaur Randhawa, both immigrants to the US from India.

The absolute smartest thing that Republican voters, and the GOP itself, can possibly do right now is to ensure that she is on the ballot in the 2024 general election.

It would be utterly fascinating to watch ultra-leftists vote AGAINST a young, brown woman in favor of an old white man.

While I agree with your point, I’m afraid that “smartest” may make it a no-go.

I never heard of her before, because you all never talked about her before.

It seems she's not racist enough to use race to her advantage.
