NYT does a fawning piece on UBL.

They forgot to mention the massive stashes of porn loaded on his computer that was confiscated by SpecOps.  Guess that was inconvenient to the Islamic narrative and the great picture of a loving family man.

John Richardson.

So to answer the question posed in the headline, I think you could say that Wayne is the peril and his continuing presence at the top of the NRA is the hazard. Dumping the Gang of Four of Wayne, Carolyn, Charles, and Willes won’t cure the NRA’s problems but it would be a step in the right direction.

I don’t mean to sound sour, but it’s too late for that.  The NRA could have focused on the largest and most wicked battle of the 21st century, and instead they chose to take junkets, outfit Wayne in expensive suits, and give Wayne a cute girl in a swimsuit to paddle around in his pool.

Too bad.  They will answer to God for their misuse of hard earned money.

Via Ken’s place, USPS rejects mandatory Vax.

Various media outlets have reported that the White House is considering mandatory COVID-19 vaccination as a condition of employment for federal employees. Maintaining the health and safety of our members is of paramount importance. While the APWU leadership continues to encourage postal workers to voluntarily get vaccinated, it is not the role of the federal government to mandate vaccinations for the employees we represent.

Issues related to vaccinations and testing for COVID-19 in the workplace must be negotiated with the APWU. At this time the APWU opposes the mandating of COVID-19 vaccinations in relation to U.S. postal workers.

Ha!  That’s nothing.  The USPS?

Just wait until they try to make it mandatory for nurses and health care providers.  Folks, I have to tell you.  Nurses everywhere reject it.  They don’t want it.  They’re willing to walk out over it.

You want to see all the hospitals shut down because there’s no one there to care for you?

That horse already left the barn a long time ago.  They’re panicking now.  This was a done deal months and months ago.

I know.

Most people who are willing to take the #ClotShot have already taken it.  It’s over.

We could all be in a rain storm so optic performance when wet should be an issue of concern.

Via David Codrea, this report on a beheading after the suspect was released, having been found guilty on prior charges of domestic abuse and attempted arson.

He should have been a slave.

The Holy Scriptures do not countenance the idea of imprisonment.  It calls only for [a] retribution, and [b] restitution.

Retribution for murder, kidnapping, assault and rape, and restitution for theft.  The perpetrator becomes a slave of the one he has offended.  If he won’t be a slave, he is executed.

That’s simple.  That’s Biblical.  That’s why America won’t do it.  Thus America continues to suffer under the yoke of tyranny.

News from Myrtle Beach, S.C.

The Myrtle Beach Police Department obtained AR-15s, sniper scopes and a military tactical vehicle from the Pentagon through an obscure program that provides surplus military equipment to law enforcement, an open records request reveals.

Although officers maintain the program is essential for meeting threats on the ground, critics say it contributes to the militarization of the police at a time when many are asking for more restraint from law enforcement.

“Patrol rifles are rifles carried in cars for Patrol Rifle-certified officers,” said Cpl. Tom Vest, spokesperson for MBPD. “If an officer is describing a threat that is bigger than the pistol can handle, then they can be used.”

To obtain the equipment, MBPD submits applications to the S.C. Law Enforcement Support Office (LESO), which determines whether the agency meets the right criteria.

Since the equipment is already paid for, MBPD is only responsible for covering the cost of transportation and maintenance.

Controlled items — like the the Mine-resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) military tactical vehicle and the 18 AR-15s — are audited by LESO every year. Other controlled items include infrared scopes and medical supplies.

Over its decade-long participation in the program, the department has acquired nearly 150 controlled items collectively worth over $2.7 million.

Uncontrolled items only have to be tracked through the first year.

“Things like boots, t-shirts, multi-tools, sunglasses, watches, etc., are not controlled items and were issued to officers, and are no longer tracked based on the time frame,” Vest said in an email.

[ … ]

To some, an MBPD recruitment video from 2019 showcasing some of the equipment plays into that criticism.

In the clip, posted to the department’s YouTube page, officers wearing camo fatigues file out of an MRAP and brandish M16s as they carry out a raid of a dilapidated warehouse, throwing a flash bang before storming a room on the top floor. An action movie score plays in the background.

Several in the comments section call out the militaristic image put forth by the department.

“This makes your department look like a military assault unit,” wrote Michael Ferrini.

Vest said this was intentional.

“When we were looking at video, we were looking at recruitment bases,” he explained. “One of them was military, from one of our local bases. Some aspects of this job speak to different people.”

Are you ready for the best part?

According to NBC News, Obama banned “tanks and other tracked armored vehicles, weaponized aircraft and vehicles, firearms and ammunition measuring .50-caliber and larger, grenade launchers and bayonets.”

But in August 2017, then-President Donald Trump repealed the ban.

“We will not put superficial concerns above public safety,” then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions told the Fraternal Order of Police at a conference. “We have your back and you have our thanks.”

The Trump Justice Department argued that concerns around the program were cosmetic and that the program deterred crime and protected officers.

Well there you have it.  Jeff Sessions.  Militarized police.  The GOP and militarized police go hand-in-hand.

Maybe not.  WiscoDave leaves this comment to the initial report.

It sounded far-fetched from the very beginning.

An Alaskan miner, cornered in the brutal wilderness to stand-off against a hungry brown bear for four days before being rescued by a Coast Guard’s helicopter that happened to be passing by, without a scratch on him.

But that’s what Richard Jessee, a gold hunter who was rescued last week in Nome, Alaska, said happened to him.

The unlikely story gathered attention from the national press and Jessee told proudly about hiding from the animal after it crushed his ATV and tossed his phone in a river.

Now, however, locals are questioning his version of events after going to the cabin where he was rescued but finding no evidence of the days-long battle he described.

Other local miners who were interviewed by The Nome Nugget went to the cabin where Jessee was rescued but found no bear tracks.

They did however find the ATV and attached trailer that Jessee said the bear pushed into the water.

On top of it was a packet of bacon in a cooler that was untouched.

‘There’s just no way it was a bear!’ one anonymous source said.

They think he simply crashed the ATV into the river and waterlogged it, but was too embarrassed to admit it, so made up the story after being rescued.

‘We went out there to the cabin, but we couldn’t find a bear track within 500 feet of the place, but it should have been all torn up, according to his story.

‘There’s no hair, no tracks, no scat, nothing.

‘He made a fool of us. We found out that his story didn’t match what we found.’

The lack of prints were especially odd given that the region had gone through heavy rainfall when the incident supposedly took place, which would leave the ground muddy and perfect for leaving prints.

The owner of the cabin added that he has never had issues with bears near his property.

The group also found Jessee’s ATV without a single claw mark despite Jessee’s claim that the bear attacked the vehicle and pushed it into a waterhole.

I don’t see what’s so embarrassing about telling people you crashed your ATV.  At least it’s honest – if that’s what happened.

Lots and lots of links.

ZeroHedge on why the globalists and governments are so desperate to get 100% vaccination.

If a large population of millions of people remain unvaccinated after the next couple of years, then they will represent a sizable and undeniable control group.

Oh I expect that horse has already left the barn.  They have about reached the end of the game.  All the talk about mandatory vaccinations will lead to voluntary quitting of jobs and hospitals, restaurants, factories, and businesses everywhere will be empty of workers and the economy will crash.  As best as I can tell from overhearing conversations, reading comments and watching the landscape, the two parties are hardening their positions.  The polarization occurred as fast as I’ve ever seen in my lifetime.

-40 trillion mRNA spike protein particles per injection, which spread throughout the entire body

-Each particle bonds to interior wall of capillaries causing the interior surface of the entire vascular system to become rough like sandpaper instead of the natural smooth blood vessel lining, on the capillary level

-Body reacts by forming clots and blocking the injured vessels and capillaries. This process is permanent and irreversible

-Micro-clotting of capillaries is invisible to scans, only the D-Dimer test shows that clotting is happening in the body on a micro level, but not where it is happening

-Micro-clotting in the lungs causes increased pressure on the right side of the heart which must pump against the blocked capillaries in the lungs. Right side heart failure generally occurs within three years when this pulmonary micro-clotting occurs

Voxday.

The problem is threefold. First, the vaccines are creating the variants because they are non-sterilizing. Second, the more vaccines an individual receives, the more protein spikes and micro-clots he has, thereby increasing the odds of a stroke or heart attack. Third, Antibody Dependent Enhancement is further enhanced by the additional boosters.

Big Pharma is piling scientific failure upon scientific failure, and the stupid politicians are being bamboozled by the wicked to continue to make things worse for their nations and their economies.

Meanwhile, the vaccine mandates are going to fail completely too:

I’m getting reports from all over the place, including on my forum and mailbag. Nurses are walking out en-masse over vaccine mandates in hospitals and other care settings. 

In Europe, entire hospitals are shutting down rather than submit to the vaccine mandates.

When asked to explain non-sterilizing, this helpful comment was made.

A sterilizing vaccine is one that causes you to develop an immune response which, when you encounter the real pathogen, will prevent it from replicating in your body. In other words, your body is “sterile” in terms of the pathogen’s ability to “grow” inside you. Therefore it can’t infect you and you can’t develop a viral load to pass on to someone else.

A non-sterilizing vaccine, assuming it does any good at all, only protects you from all or some of the damage the pathogen does, but it doesn’t prevent it from replicating inside your body, so it can infect you and you can produce enough viral load to pass it to others. Since you’re less likely to experience symptoms to warn you that you’re infected, you’re more likely to go around spreading it. And since you don’t either die or destroy the infestation right away, it can go on indefinitely producing lots of mutations inside you, increasing the chance of developing a more virulent one that *does* harm you and others.

I found this amusing article at the CDC website.

During July 2021, 469 cases of COVID-19 associated with multiple summer events and large public gatherings in a town in Barnstable County, Massachusetts, were identified among Massachusetts residents; vaccination coverage among eligible Massachusetts residents was 69%. Approximately three quarters (346; 74%) of cases occurred in fully vaccinated persons (those who had completed a 2-dose course of mRNA vaccine [Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna] or had received a single dose of Janssen [Johnson & Johnson] vaccine ≥14 days before exposure). Genomic sequencing of specimens from 133 patients identified the B.1.617.2 (Delta) variant of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, in 119 (89%) and the Delta AY.3 sublineage in one (1%). Overall, 274 (79%) vaccinated patients with breakthrough infection were symptomatic. Among five COVID-19 patients who were hospitalized, four were fully vaccinated; no deaths were reported. Real-time reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) cycle threshold (Ct) values in specimens from 127 vaccinated persons with breakthrough cases were similar to those from 84 persons who were unvaccinated, not fully vaccinated, or whose vaccination status was unknown (median = 22.77 and 21.54, respectively). The Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 is highly transmissible (1); vaccination is the most important strategy to prevent severe illness and death. On July 27, CDC recommended that all persons, including those who are fully vaccinated, should wear masks in indoor public settings in areas where COVID-19 transmission is high or substantial.* Findings from this investigation suggest that even jurisdictions without substantial or high COVID-19 transmission might consider expanding prevention strategies, including masking in indoor public settings regardless of vaccination status, given the potential risk of infection during attendance at large public gatherings that include travelers from many areas with differing levels of transmission.

It would appear that the vaccinated are the ones spreading pathogens around.  Further, the vaccination appears to be worthless.  What does the CDC recommend?  Wait for it … drum roll … more vaccination and masking.

Finally, the vaccine causes the virus to be more dangerous.

And you’re going to be hearing the phrase “Antibody dependent enhancement” much more in the coming months.
