GETTR Done: Alternate social media up and running
Donlad Trump's Team has launched a new alternate social media platform on July 4th called GETTR. Finally, a free speech alternative to the tainted Twitter and Facebook. I'm in. This is a natural consequence of fake news and ridiculous censorship. No lie can live forever. When Candace Owens sued the fake fact checkers on Facebook and Twitter she discovered that they were funded by the Communist Party of China. In a free market, all this outrageous censorship created a need for alternate news sources and alternate social media platforms. You can fool some of the people some of the t... read more

How Fast Could the SR-71 Blackbird Really Fly?*Trevor Filseth* *History, Americas* Numerous SR-71 pilots have anecdotally reported higher speeds during missions and other unrecorded flights, and there is no way to be certain who was truly the fastest of all time. The SR-71 Blackbird, created by Lockheed’s “Skunk Works” experimental division, represented the pinnacle of Cold War aircraft design. Springing from the earlier Lockheed A-12 designed in “Project Oxcart,” the SR-71 was sleek, aerodynamic, and, consequently, fast. The aircraft was designed to cruise at speeds exceeding Mach 3.0, and could go even faster when needed. ... read more

Pfizer's Board of Directors and Their Links to the Key Players in the Pandemic
As I've stated before, during the COVID-19 pandemic, it is of utmost importance that we all "follow the money". It's the only way to unravel the ever-complicated narrative that has evolved over the past 16 months. One of the key aspects of the issue is to track the allegiances and connections that key players have to each other. As you will see in this posting, a prime example can be found simply by looking at the connections that the Members of the Board of Directors at Pfizer have to other key players in the "COVID game". Here is a graphic showing the Board as a whole ... read more

How many of you remember shopping lists like this?
I came across this photo of an old-fashioned metal shopping list on Gab yesterday. Click the image for a larger view. It brought back many memories, because my mother had one like it in the 1950's and 1960's. It hung over the counter in the kitchen where she prepared our meals. She'd flip one of the little metal indicators when she ran short (or out) of something, so she could prepare her shopping list more easily. If it was urgently required, I might find myself sent down to the shops to buy whatever she needed; otherwise, it waited for a big shopping run once per week.... read more

This summer has confirmed the reality of climate change. Eugene Robinson writes: Climate change is slow, gradual, almost imperceptible — until suddenly it’s not. One day, it seems like a normal summer. The next, the temperature soars to an unbearable 121 degrees. In Canada. In a region where many homes are not air-conditioned, it is not yet clear how many people died from the extreme heat; in British Columbia alone, officials said there were more than 700 “sudden and unexplained” deaths during the week, three times the normal average. At least 95 deaths in Oregon are suspected of... read more
