26 Firehouses in NYC Close as Staff Refuse COVID-19 Vaccines – Garbage Piles up in NYC as People Quit Rather than Get the Shot
New York City had to close 26 firehouses this weekend due to lack of staff, as apparently many of the 10,951 firefighters who are refusing to be vaccinated over the Mayor's COVID-19 vaccine mandate called in sick this weekend. The Daily Mail is reporting that a 7-year-old child died in a fire that broke out at 1:30 a.m. early Saturday morning. According to the New York Post, firefighters are not the only ones refusing the vaccine mandates, but other city workers are as well, and now garbage is starting to pile up around the city.

28,103 Deaths 2,637,525 Injuries Following COVID Shots in European Database of Adverse Reactions – European Members of Parliament Speak Out
The European Union database of suspected drug reaction reports is EudraVigilance, and they are now reporting 28,103 fatalities, and 2,637,525 injuries, following COVID-19 injections. A Health Impact News subscriber from Europe reminded us that this database maintained at EudraVigilance is only for countries in Europe who are part of the European Union (EU), which comprises 27 countries. The total number of countries in Europe is much higher, almost twice as many, numbering around 50. (There are some differences of opinion as to which countries are technically part of Europe.)

“Sheeple”
*“Sheeple”* by CCRider “I get so disgusted with people at times I can barely control my emotions. Standing in line at a grocery store earlier today there was a young mother and her daughter I would guess to be about three years old, both (of course) wearing masks. I have no doubt the mother was of normal intelligence and cared deeply for her child. I pitied them both. In front of her was a lady in a powered shopping cart who was morbidly obese. Her cart was loaded with processed foods, high-fructose corn syrup soda and other poisons. She was wearing a mask and surgical gloves. How... read more
"A Look to the Heavens"
"Point your telescope toward the high flying constellation Pegasus and you can find this expanse of Milky Way stars and distant galaxies. NGC 7814 is centered in the pretty field of view that would almost be covered by a full moon. NGC 7814 is sometimes called the Little Sombrero for its resemblance to the brighter more famous M104, the Sombrero Galaxy. Both Sombrero and Little Sombrero are spiral galaxies seen edge-on, and both have extensive halos and central bulges cut by a thin disk with thinner dust lanes in silhouette. In fact, NGC 7814 is some 40 million light-years away and a... read more

*“In A Dark Time…”* by Chet Raymo “I’ve quoted a few of these lines before, from a poem by Charles Simic: “It’s like fishing in the dark. Our thoughts are the hooks, Our heart the raw bait. We cast the line past all believing Into the night sky Until it’s lost to sight.” In a sense, that’s the story of my life: a long love affair with the night sky.

My first book of personal prose was “The Soul of the Night: An Astronomical Pilgrimage”. “An Intimate Look at the Night Sky” followed much later, but every book in between, fictio... read more
"I Have Accepted The Fact..."
“One can fight evil but against stupidity one is helpless… I have accepted the fact, hard as it may be, that human beings are inclined to behave in ways that would make animals blush. The ironic, the tragic thing is that we often behave in ignoble fashion from what we consider the highest motives. The animal makes no excuse for killing his prey; the human animal, on the other hand, can invoke God’s blessing when massacring his fellow men. He forgets that God is not *on* his side but *at *his side.” “There is no salvation in becoming adapted to a world which is crazy.” - Henry Miller read more

Perhaps it’s only a lie if he believes it.

Democrats are underwater in Maryland?
Salena Zito: ... As one Democratic strategist told me last week, “If Biden can just get a win and pass this bill, voters will be happy,” completely missing why voters are falling away from Biden. Last week, the Goucher College poll conducted here in Maryland shows that since March, Biden's job approval has gone from 62% to 53%, with only 43% of independent voters approving of his performance. The two Democrats representing the state in the Senate, Sen. Chris Van Hollen, who is up for reelection in 2022, and senior Sen. Benjamin Cardin, were underwater at 44% and 46%.

The pigs were confined in cages that were barely larger than their own bodies, with the cages stacked on top of each other in tiers, three high. The sides and the bottoms of the cages were steel slats, so that excrement fr... read more

Climate hysteria becoming a hard sell
Joel Kotkin: Few things in life are as predictable as the rhetoric of climate change summits like this coming week's in Glasgow. Over the next week, you will hear again and again that the planet is dying and that climate change will cause mass dislocations and starvation. The end is nigh, the UN has told us, and only green house gas reducing penance can save us. We have been hearing this now for decades, with each global confab upping the ante, insisting that with the inevitable denouement, "not enough" is being done and what we need is to get more militant.

Biden's climate agenda bumps into Chicom slavery
*Washington Examiner:* *Tensions emerge between Biden climate goals and Uyghur forced labor crackdown* At this point, Biden has chosen to dither about the slavery issue. He may see it as a lose-lose proposition. I am of the opinion that he is overrating the climate change issue and avoiding a real-world problem of Chicom slavery in the production of solar panels. I am not a fan of solar panels. They have limited usage and are unreliable on a mass scale. They ae also vulnerable to extreme weather. read more

I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting for their light.

They've been many "last best hopes" in recent decade. "I think we have a very brief window of opportunity to deal with climate change," said NASA's James Hansen. He said that in 2006. "We have only four more years to act on climate change," he said in 2009. Hansen was a piker.

We literally do not know ourselves to be any better than what some opinionated person or narrow circumstance once told us was true.

During his nearly four decades in the intelligence game, Agee became disillusioned with his work for the agency, and later went on to publish numerous books including “Inside the Company: CIA Diary” (1975) which infuriated US officials after identifying some 250 officers, front companies and foreign agents working for the CIA.
