A Vaccine That Adds Up to Nothing Let’s ponder some Pfizer vaccine numbers reported by Alex Berenson that you can’t really discuss without being banned by Twitter. Most of Berenson’s blogs are free, but his paid content is worth paying for. Here’s his report on Pfizer’s clinical trial. The study included 44,000 people, half of..
Can we think this through a bit? Nothing, absolutely nothing, about Covid adds up for me. Ponder a few largely indisputable facts, and then the reasonable questions those facts inspire… It was a man-made virus, hatched in a Communist laboratory, paid for, in part, by American tax dollars. Why? Gain of function research is defended..
So, following on Bill De Blasio’s New York inoculation edict, I guess the Secretary of Defense is the most recent public authority to call for mandatory vaccination among active duty members of the armed forces. My abiding question: let’s just suppose, for the sake of argument, the good folks in public health, and the politicians who..
“Bobby Martin had already stuffed his pockets full of stones..” With the possible exception of cafeteria pizza on Fridays, nothing feels, to me, more “late 20th century public school” than reading and discussing Shirley Jackson’s 1948 short story, “The Lottery” I think, in my own case, we may have been assigned it twice, and it..
Professional attire, these days, seems to demand a mask. Last night, at a local board of education meeting, the sheriff’s deputy wore one. The district staff all had them on.

He’s standing in one of those shower stalls you see on the beach, except that it’s up on the top..
Joe’s a charmer.. (more…)
Anaheim Leadership: You hate America and her values. Go to hell.. (more…)
Marc Tessier-Lavigne, president of Stanford University, reminds the alumni, on the anniversary of George Floyd’s death, that awful things have happened in this country, that these awful things are being studied, that new “clusters” of race-specialist faculty are being hired to combat the awful things, that they have a flashy new acronym (“IDEAL” — Inclusion,..
Seen yesterday: at least a dozen spry old guys in their late 70s, at various points on the beach, trotting along in wet suits, with long boards under their arms, flirting with bikini-clad women five decades their junior. Silver-chested endless summer. Jimmy Buffett lives. Surf culture, which was once young, cheap and rebel-spirited is now..
