I note all the “amens” in response to this post on social media.
I grant crackpots, religious or otherwise, the right to refuse to comply with the dictates of the scientific community in the event of a horrible spike in pandemic cases. Just stay away from schools, workplaces, restaurants, and all other elements of civil society.
We won’t be praying for you, but nor do we wish you ill will, as long as you stay away from us.
This certification should be provided for: rejecting science, and, in so doing, raising hospitalization rates, while lowering one’s life expectancies and that of everyone coming into contact.
….Isn’t a multibillionaire who hates wokeism and wants to return Donald Trump to the White House.
I sympathize with the guy who applies this bumper sticker to his Tesla.
No one could have foreseen Trumpism and the vicious attack on our nation’s American democracy it represents. And now, even after the insurrection has been put down and its participants brought to justice, the GOP still has sufficient power to thwart the will of the American people.
That’s why this judge’s ruling in Arizona is such a big deal.
From the article linked above:
A federal judge on Thursday blocked Arizona from enforcing a 2022 state law limiting who can vote for president.
In a new ruling, U.S. District Court Judge Susan Bolton said Arizonans who use a federal voter registration form are entitled to cast a ballot in presidential elections. More to the point, the judge voided parts of the statute which says that only those who provide “satisfactory evidence of citizenship” can vote in those elections.
Bolton also said the state cannot enforce another provision which bars anyone who uses this federal form from voting by mail.
I was a middle-aged man in 2005 when Aptera was formed and began to accept investors’ cash. Now I’m older, grayer, and, in the back of my mind, wondering how much longer this can continue. I’m likely to go to my grave with no answer.
Sure there are solar panels on its roof that will enable a meager amount of extra range. Yes, the car is small and light (and uncomfortable, dangerous, and ridiculous in appearance).
Ask yourself: Does this really look like the “future of transportation?” Do you think it will “elevate your investment portfolio?”
If so, jump on in. I’m too old to argue with you.
Here’s the scoop on Sen. Jerry Moran (R-KA):
Everywhere you look, you find another proof-point that there is absolutely nothing that Trump could do or say that would alienate his supporters.
That’s what makes this situation so intractable.
As much as I detest Trump, I hope these initiatives fail.
Most obviously, they seem to violate the Fifth Amendment’s guarantee of due process.
But more importantly, this country cannot heal itself if Trump supporters believe that the Democrats, the Deep State, the Hollywood Elite, Big Tech, or some other “sinister” force illegally thwarted their will.
The video here actually isn’t a scam; the machine and its user will generate some electrical energy, though the title is a bit misleading; the energy doesn’t come from the magnet.
In the 1830s, Michael Faraday discovered the relationship between electricity and magnetism, in particular, that changing a magnetic field near a conductor will induce a current to flow.
The energy in the video ultimately comes from the sun. The sun’s energy is converted into chemical energy in food, which becomes the work that the person performs to move the magnet, which becomes electrical energy that drives the fan and lights the lamp.
It’s a bold statement, to be sure.
It says, “I don’t understand that Trump will be tried by four different juries of his peers, people whom both the prosecution and the defense believe to be capable of objectivity. An incredible amount of evidence will be presented, much of which was used to generate the four indictments, each returned by grand juries, also composed of unbiased Americans.”
