This stuff shouldn't even be illegal. It's a fantastic new treatment used by our veterans for PTSD. Blocked for years by lesser minds, it's really making a difference.
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Niesha Harris Brazell, 16, was working at the drive-thru window of a Milwaukee Burger King on January 2 when she was shot and killed
Investigators originally believed a man seen demanding money from her and waving a gun around had shot her, but they realized his gun didn't go off
Another camera inside the restaurant showed that the shot was fired by one of her coworkers, Derrick Ellis, 34, who was aiming for the robber It looks like the shooter got one of the robbers, so that’s ok.
During the investigation, authorities discovered Harris-Brazell's best friend's father was the robber seen in surveillance footage
Her best friend, Mariah Edwards, reportedly admitted to authorities that she, Harris-Brazell and her father, Antoine, staged the robbery

...Another article on the subject spoke to her family, which insisted that not only could she not be responsible, but that if she needed a couple hundred dollars, she had an auntie who could drop that no problem.
Thing is, she didn't WANT to ask Auntie. There was no thrill, no street cred in asking Auntie, there was no 'stick-it-to-Burger-King' in asking Auntie.
I'm sorry that her family's lives have been ruined, and I'm sorry the life of the man who was trying to defend himself and his workplace has been changed in ways he will never be able to completely deal with.
Am I sorry she paid a price? No.

[NYPOST] The sister of the deranged ex-con accused of fatally shoving a Times Square straphanger told The Post on Monday that her sibling never should have been free to walk the streets.
Josette Simon wept as she recalled she once even begged a hospital to keep her troubled brother locked up after his life was derailed by mental illness.
"He was a hardworking man, he was a giving man," Simon, 65, said through tears of her younger brother, Martial Simon, 61.
"At 14 years old, he started shoveling snow. He drove a taxicab. He worked from the bottom to move up to become a manager at a parking place in Manhattan. He always liked New York.
"Somehow, in his 30s, something happened and he lost it," she said. "He kept seeing and hearing people after him. One of my sisters took him in. He stayed, and then he said, ’I have to go back to New York and start again.’ But he never made it."
The NYPD lists the subway-shove suspect’s name as Simon Martial, although his sister identified him as Martial Simon.
Josette Simon, who lives outside Atlanta, Ga., said her brother was diagnosed with schizophrenia,
Unexpectedly.

[New Eastern Outlook] The global energy shortages which have driven prices for coal, oil and natural gas to explosive highs in the last months are a predictable consequence of the mad pursuit of "Zero Carbon" economic policies that have seen foolish governments subsidize a growing share of electricity from unreliable solar and wind generation. One consequence has been a five-fold rise in the price of natural gas or methane across the globe. That extends from China to the EU, USA and beyond. A follow-on consequence of that natural gas shortage and price explosion is a growing crisis in world agriculture fertilizer production. This may all be no accident. It fits the WEF Great Reset Agenda of UN 2030.
Ammonia-based fertilizers made from nitrogen (most of our air, so never in shortage) and natural gas or methane (CH4) make up almost 70% of all fertilizers used to support major agriculture crops such as wheat, corn, rice and even coffee. As natural gas prices have soared by anywhere from 300% to 500% over the past months, this has had a devastating impact on world fertilizer production where some 80% of the cost of making ammonia fertilizers is due to natural gas. Let's Go Brandon!

[An Nahar] Wildlife rehabilitators are decontaminating dozens of alligators, brushing their pointy teeth and scrubbing their scaly hides in the weeks after a pipeline rupture dumped 300,000 gallons (1.1 million liters) of diesel fuel into a New Orleans area wetland.
Diesel poured into the area outside the New Orleans suburb of Chalmette on Dec. 27 after a severely corroded pipeline broke, according to federal records.
Seventy-eight alligators have since been rescued, and 33 of them had been cleaned and released by Friday into a national wildlife refuge located in New Orleans and about 10 miles (16 kilometers) from the spill site in St. Bernard Gay Pareeh, the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries said.
Cleaning a six-foot-long (2-meter) alligator on Thursday required eight people: four holders, two scrubbers, one person with a hose for hot-water rinses and one to change the wash water, said Laura Carver, who became the department's oil spill coordinator in February 2010, less than three months before a massive BP oil spill off Louisiana in the Gulf.
Carver said the impact of December's diesel spill on wildlife was relatively high compared to most spills in Louisiana.
Rehabilitating that many alligators at once "is a new one for us," Carver said.
She said a hard piece of wood "almost like a really old-fashioned mop handle" is used to hold the alligator's jaw open while its teeth are scrubbed.
The teeth cleaning comes toward the end of a series of body washes using gradually smaller concentrations of Dawn dish detergent to clean off the gunk. "They literally get their mouths washed out with soap. But it's the only thing that works," Carver said.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Another "large eruption" has been detected at the Tonga volcano, a Darwin-based monitoring station said Monday, two days after a massive eruption triggered tsunami waves around the Pacific.
The latest eruption was detected at 2210 GMT Sunday, according to an alert by the Darwin Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre also said it had detected large waves in the area: "This might be from another explosion of Tonga volcano. There are no known earthquakes of significant size to generate this wave."

[Epoch Times] Ashli Babbitt desperately tried to prevent rioters from vandalizing the doors leading to the Speaker’s Lobby at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, even stepping between one troublemaker and police officers guarding the doors, a video analysis shows.
Frame-by-frame video evidence analyzed by The Epoch Times paints a vastly different picture of Babbitt’s actions than that portrayed in media accounts over the past year. News media regularly painted Babbitt as "violent," a "rioter," or an "insurrectionist" who was angrily trying to breach the Speaker’s Lobby.
Video clips appear to show she tried to prevent the attack, not join it.
Video shot by John Sullivan, also known as Jayden X, shows that Babbitt tried to stop the violence against the Speaker’s Lobby at least four times before she climbed into a broken window and was shot by U.S. Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd. At one point, she was so distressed at the violence, she was jumping up and down in frustration.
"About five minutes prior to her getting shot and killed, all of those officers, Officer Yetter and the other officers in the hall, the MPD cops, they were all joking with her and laughing with her," Hansen said. "They were having conversations and joking and laughing. Then not even five minutes later, Michael Byrd comes and executes her."

The cops around her clearly stood down and walked away from her, indicating that there was absolutely no reason to consider her or her behavior a threat in any way.

^ That's not clear from the video. What is clear is that she threatened no one: the behavior of the Capitol Hill Police support that conclusion beyond any reasonable doubt.

[Truth About Guns] No, that spelling isn’t a typo. FN, of course, built the original High Power — then dubbed the Hi Power — along with John Moses Browning back in 1935. Much to gun buyers’ dismay, the Browning Hi Power was discontinued years ago, but now FN is exciting SHOT Show-goers by bringing back the iconic single action 9mm pistol as the American-made 17+1 round "reimagined" FN High Power.
Here’s FN’s press release . . .
FN America, LLC proudly announces the introduction of the all-new FN High Power™, a completely reimagined pistol based on the legendary 1935 design conceived by John Moses Browning and perfected by Dieudonné Saive. The FN High Power carries forward the most iconic features of the original design, modernized for today’s sport shooter.
"The High Power is such an iconic design, and synonymous with FN really. We recognized the gravity of reintroducing this newly redesigned pistol with such a storied history," said Mark Cherpes, President and CEO for FN America, LLC. "Rather than introduce a clone of the original, we had to deliver much more than other brands, knowing the FN High Power would be held to a higher standard. FN pays homage to the prolific design, while modernizing the ergonomics, functionality and operation. We respect what this pistol has meant to generations of FN collectors and feel the new FN High Power dovetails perfectly with the rest of the FN pistol line, carrying a future-forward design to the next generation of shooting enthusiasts."

I believe the Canadian and Belgium armies still use the HP.
[Facebook] After the employee of a Boston pizzeria (famous mid priced dive) allowed five unvaccinated women and a girl to order food and bottles of water, the store manager intervened and called the police on the group for not presenting proof of Covid vaccination.
In footage recorded by the women and streamed on Facebook Live, the shop owner asks police to remove the group of females from his restaurant for failing to comply with Boston’s newly implemented mandate requiring proof of vaccination to enter all indoor venues.
But the women stood their ground, continued to drink bottles of water and eat the pizza they purchased while being harassed and gawked at by the cops and store manager in the nearly hour-long encounter.
One of the women, Boston police Sergeant Shana Cottone who was placed on leave and relieved of her badge on Jan. 8 over her criticism of the city’s mandate, shamed the officers for choosing money over human rights.
The recently suspended sergeant and leader of Boston First Responders United, a group that organized in opposition to the vaccine mandate, implored her former colleagues "to do the right thing."
Celebrities, performing artists and professional athletes who are not regularly employed by a venue are exempt from the mandate.

Complete joke, given the mild nature of omicron.
This smelly little fascist tendency is rising precisely as COVID is collapsing.
Omicron will burn itself out in New England within another four weeks, per Dr. Egan, the head of International Infectious Diseases at Mass. General Hospital.
[Business Insider] Former royal protection officer Paul Page said in his first television interview that Buckingham Palace staff suspected Prince Andrew and Ghislaine Maxwell had an "intimate relationship."
"From the way she was allowed to enter and exit the palace, at will, we realised... suspected, that she may have had an intimate relationship with Prince Andrew," Page claimed the new iTV documentary, "Ghislaine, Prince Andrew and the Paedophile." "A colleague of mine remembered her coming in four times in one day from the morning till the evening — she kept coming in and out, in and out..." in and out, in and out, in and out, in and out......
The Duke of York's legal tensions have mounted following the December conviction of Maxwell, who was found guilty of five of six sex-trafficking charges brought against her.
On Friday, Queen Elizabeth II held a personal meeting with her son to notify him that he will be stripped of his royal patronages and military titles as a result of the sexual-assault lawsuit brought against him by Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre, forcing him to defend himself as a private citizen.

Speaking of breeding... just think of what we could produce with more Lia's (UPenn) and Izzy's (Yale) -- btw, Izzy Henig won't be nursing any grudges. Her kids can drink soy milk:
Thomas has been blowing women's swimming records out of the water and there is even a chance she might win national championships and even compete for all-time NCAA records set by Olympic gold medalists Missy Franklin and Katie Ledecky.
She will compete at next month's Ivy League championships and has already qualified for the NCAA championships in March.
Last week, Thomas was crushed twice in a women's swim meet by another transgender competitor who is transitioning from female to male - first in the 100-yard freestyle, where she placed fifth, and then again in the 400-yard freestyle relay.
Thomas was beaten by Yale swimmer Iszac 'Izzi" Henig, who has had his breasts removed, but also says he has avoided taking any male hormones so he can continue to compete fairly on his college's swim team.

China is where Japan was population wise in the 80s. It will not bode well for any industrial nation in the next 20 years. Birth rates are collapsing everywhere in those countries and the countries that have a positive population rate (not counting migration) will be the ones that will control the world in 50 years. Which ones are those... hmmmm????

[REGNUM] North Korea conducted a test launch of tactical guided missiles. This was reported on January 18 by Reuters, citing the North Korean Central Telegraph Agency (KCNA).
The KCNA statement said that North Korea successfully launched two tactical guided missiles on January 17. They were launched in the western part of North Korea and accurately hit an island target in the East Korean Sea.
Recall that the launch of two ballistic missiles was carried out by the DPRK on January 17 towards the Sea of Japan. According to the Joint Chiefs of Staff of South Korea, the missiles were launched from the area of Sunan International Airport in the vicinity of Pyongyang.
Earlier , REGNUM reported that the UN called on the North Korean authorities to sit down at the negotiating table. It is noted that the DPRK has not had such a frequency of missile launches for a long time. This is the fourth launch of missiles since the beginning of the year.
[FreeWestMedia] An explosive case is currently being hotly debated on social media: In France, a rich, older entrepreneur from Paris is said to have died as a result of a Corona injection. Previously, he had taken out multi-million dollar life insurance policies for the benefit of his children and grandchildren, according to a media report.
Although vaccination is recognized as the cause of death by doctors and the insurance company, it has refused to pay out. The reason is because the side effects of the Corona jabs are known and published. They argue that the deceased took part in an experiment at his own risk. Covid-19 in itself is not classed as a "critical illness".
According to the company, an experimental vaccination resulting in death is like suicide and if it's mandated?
The insurance company justified the refusal of payment to the family by stating that the use of experimental medication or treatments, including Corona injections, is expressly excluded from the insurance contract. The family’s subsequent lawsuit against the insurance company has been unsuccessful.

According to the company, an experimental vaccination resulting in death is like suicide
... and if it's mandated?
= civilizational suicide.
#4
From the court's decision:
"The side effects of the experimental vaccine are published and the deceased could not claim to have known nothing about it when he voluntarily took the vaccine. There is no law or mandate in France that compelled him to be vaccinated. Hence his death is essentially suicide."
So, you did what we told you, so it's your own fault.

Moved to Europe. It remains to be seen what American insurers and courts will decide.
[An Nahar] Credit Suisse says its chairman has resigned following an internal investigation that reportedly turned up that he had violated quarantine rules intended to fight the COVID-19 pandemic.The resignation of Antonio Horta-Osorio, a British-Portuguese national who took the job barely eight months ago, was announced shortly after midnight Monday. It is the latest upheaval at the top-drawer Swiss bank that has faced an array of recent troubles, including bad bets on hedge funds and an internal spying scandal.
"I regret that a number of my personal actions have led to difficulties for the bank and compromised my ability to represent the bank internally and externally," Horta-Osorio, 57, said in a statement from the bank, without elaborating.
"I therefore believe that my resignation is in the interest of the bank and its stakeholders at this crucial time."
Axel Lehmann, a Swiss national and former executive at rival bank UBS who joined the Credit Suisse board in October, will take over as chairman.
Credit Suisse said Lehmann "succeeds Antonio Horta-Osório, who resigned following an investigation commissioned by the board." It did not elaborate, and bank front man Dominik von Arx declined to comment beyond the news release.
Swiss media reported Monday that Horta-Osorio, a former CEO of Lloyds Banking Group in Britannia, had violated quarantine rules, including traveling to Britannia in December and to the Wimbledon tennis tournament over the summer.
Online news service finews.com, citing two sources familiar with the situation, reported in late December that Horta-Osorio was being investigated over allegations of breaking quarantine.

His pedophilia was not disclosed, as that would incriminate the rest of the bank's leadership.
[NBC] Scientists are piecing together why some people lose their sense of smell after contracting Covid-19.
A study published Monday in the journal Nature Genetics identified a genetic risk factor associated with the loss of smell after a Covid infection, a discovery that brings experts closer to understanding the perplexing pattern and may point the way toward much-needed treatments.
Six months after contracting Covid, as many as 1.6 million people in the United States are still unable to smell or have experienced a change in their ability to smell. The precise cause of sensory loss related to Covid is not known, but scientists do think it stems from damage to infected cells in a part of the nose called the olfactory epithelium. These cells protect olfactory neurons, which help humans smell.
"How we get from infection to smell loss remains unclear," said Dr. Justin Turner, an associate professor of otolaryngology at Vanderbilt University who was not a part of the study.
"Early data suggests that supporting cells of the olfactory epithelium are the ones mostly being infected by the virus, and presumably this leads to the death of the neurons themselves," he said. "But we don’t really, really know why and when that happens, and why it seems to preferentially happen in certain individuals."
