    Then again, the new assessment does not match up with findings from elsewhere in the federal government. In mid-2021, when President Joe Biden asked the U.S. intelligence community for a 90-day review of the pandemic’s origins, the response came back divided: Four agencies, plus the National Intelligence Council, guessed that COVID started (as nearly all pandemics do) with a natural exposure to an infected animal; three agencies couldn’t decide on an answer; and one blamed a laboratory accident. DOE’s revision, revealed this week, means that a single undecided vote has flipped into the lab-leak camp. If you’re keeping count—and, really, what else can one do?—the matter still appears to be decided in favor of a zoonotic origin, by an updated score of 5–2. The lab-leak theory remains the outlier position.

    Are we done? No, we aren’t done. None of these assessments carries much conviction: Only one, from the FBI, was made with “moderate” confidence; the rest are rated “low,” as in, Hmm, we’re not so sure.

    All the Demo…I mean science deniers should be forced to apologize to the people who were banned from social media or lost their jobs or blackballed in the scientific community. All of those artists who took their music off of Spotify should have to go to go on Joe Rogan’s podcast and publicly apologize to his face. Then they should all have to do a Game of Thrones walk of shame.

    Also, Stephen Colbert should have Jon Stewart on and publicly apologize to him for doubting him. It’s not going to happen, but still it would be great.

    Well now that the media has egg on their face because they called people racist, crockpots and conspiracy theorists for even questioning the origin of Covid, they got run cover for each other.

    Paywalled...I don't know if it still is, but in the early 90's when I was a TV news shooter (not to be confused with shootER) for a Sarasota station the hospital board was elected and it was a real clown show. The Sarasota/Bradenton Airport board was also elected and was also an ongoing food fight... :spock:

    Awfully foresighted of the Americans to know back in 2019 that Russians might need killing with HIMARS.

    Good news, guys, the COVID emergency is over. The Biden Administration says so.
    If you get sick, I hope you've got a shitload of money.

    Don't come at me with "it's a GOP bill!" because Biden didn't even resist signing it. He could have vetoed it, because it's bullshit, and more people will die, just as more people will be in financial ruin because of it.

    Just drink your urine like @Bill Carson and his hero Joe Rogan and you will survive. These people have been looking for a good reason to drink their own piss since radio shock jocks discovered stupid in the 90s. Now they figured out it fights COVID so drink away. If it does not work you always have horse dewormer and bleach to fall back on.

    I am starting to think being too stupid to live might actually make you immortal.

    Remember when Ron DeSantis was trying to silence some woman working for the florida health department who was supposedly not willing to change data to make things seem better than they were? Now this same woman is claiming Ron is using Florida police to kidnap her son?

    Ueah, she is actually buggy nuts and is full of shit.



    evidently she was fucking around and being reactionary and trying to freak people out when they should not have been. It also seems her son was making some threatening posts about shooting up his school and being off his meds so the police took appropriate action. This does not mean Ron is not a complete scumbag, but this crazy bitch has tried to use his scumbaggery to promote herself in some sort of manic lie.

    One would think. But, in a world where profit is sacred, all else is meaningless. This is why our current society, the way we live today, will not last another 50 years. Whether its war, famine, or a perfect storm. This current life on Earth will end. and soon.

    Because right now the US is a dumpster fire of everything collapsing, from housing and infrastructure, to food and civil rights. There's too much to focus on just one thing at the moment as truly serious as it is.

    The pandemic is not over. It is not being reported as it was even a year ago, there is a monstrous difference.
