[FOX] A man casually carrying a shotgun and claiming to be from Chicago walked into a Florida convenience store during an attempted robbery but walked out when a clerk displayed his own weapon, authorities said.
Rakim Stephen Tate, 32, made a bad decision that "became a worse decision" when he walked into a convenience store on Sept. 9 with a visible shotgun to his side, the Escambia County Sheriff's Office said Monday.
He is charged with openly carrying a prohibited weapon and attempted robbery with a firearm.
Tate walked around the store for a few seconds before a clerk out of view from a camera in the store is heard talking to him, according to security footage. The clerk apparently noticed Tate arming himself before he entered the store and went into a back room to arm himself with his personal weapon, authorities said.

Can't imagine how somebody that wasted could get from Chicago to Florida.
DailyMail.com spotted Alec Baldwin burying his head in his hands when he answered a cell phone call Monday at Domino Park in Brooklyn
He stood alone for 10 minutes on the phone call, grim faced and displaying heavy bags under his eyes while hunched over a fence overlooking the river
New Mexico prosecutors have indicated they may charge Baldwin over the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of his movie Rust
He put his 10-acre estate in Amagansett in New York's Hamptons on the market for $29million last week
Legal observers tell DailyMail.com the decision may be part of an effort to shift and potentially shield assets from lawsuits that could cost him a fortune
The legal experts speculate Baldwin could be tempted to place millions into a trust for his eight children or buy property in Florida
The Hutchins family is pursuing a wrongful death lawsuit against the actor

[TheTruthAboutGuns] Denver police officers faced an armed bad guy who drew down on them in the midst of a busy bar crowd at 1:35 a.m. The cops engaged, firing their sidearms, scoring seven hits out of six rounds fired. That represents a remarkable 117% hit rate. The only problem is that six of the seven people who were wounded soaked up rounds meant for the bad guy.
They surely don’t appreciate DPD’s marksmanship skilles, or lack thereof.

I once kicked a wolf in the face. 😎 He actually looked around to see if anyone had seen him getting insulted then ran off. I remember his expression was like 'WTF dude this my home!'

SCFI, I actually prided myself on being very good with dogs and felt guilty later, but the thing was being a continuous asshole.
I actually beckoned to it and gave it a bit of jerky. I wanted to be thought of as the 'sahib who can tame wolves', see. Now
they only know me as the city bastard who hits wildlife.
The locals had told me 'you can't think of them as dogs, sir!'

ehh, big deal. We had a black bear on our deck here in NH. My wife grabbed the camera and went out to take a picture of it. The bear came toward her so she yelled at it and chased it till it ran off into the woods...it stopped at the edge and stared at her then kept going after she yelled again.

One night in wee hours [Orleans]
I spotted the oddest of scenes:
The butt of a bear
On a fence, in midair,
Then its cub's, up and over... O rare midnight rovers!
So now I must share,
Though I know you will stare,
And I know what it means...
All these tests and machines...
Like I'd said I'd seen bears in Filene's!
Okay, so it was a pretty dark night, years before the great bear panic of 2012, and a sensible person would just admit that it could've been the world's two chunkiest skunks, but I know what I saw, dammit.

[Epoch Times] Over a week after Gail Seiler’s physician had given her a terminal diagnosis, her husband, Brad Seiler, wheeled her out of the back door of the hospital where she had been admitted for COVID-19 on Dec. 3, 2021.
"I’m so sorry, Mrs. Seiler, but you are going to die," she recalled her physician telling her on Dec. 5.
On Dec. 15, despite resistance from hospital staff, Brad extracted Seiler from Medical City Plano hospital in Plano, Texas, where the couple lives.

I think of it as the problem of "assembly line medicine" where patients are treated the same as mass produced 'things' according to the procedures set up for The Totally Average Person™. Hint: we are all different.

/\...And then we have Lawyers and the State-Insurance Complex bureaucrats adding arcane procedures that only seem to help third parties and not the doctors or patients. Depressing, isn't it?

"Cowardly?" IMO the causes is the fact that the cops "don't know anybody" (unlike the old foot cops that knew most everybody by sight at least) -and- the rash of cop killings ...why take a chance with your life?
Employees at all levels were affected by the cull, sources said - with the brunt of the effort being felt by senior-to-mid-level staffers in offices across the globe
Nearly a dozen bankers in the prestigious bank's technology, media and telecommunications division were fired alone - at multiple offices
That announcement came as the bank recorded a marked 40 percent drop in earnings this year alone after seeing a brief business boom during the pandemic
This spurred Goldman brass to at the time pause its-then routine layoff process, and dish out an array of perks in an effort to retain staff amid increased demand
[JAMA] Vaccination is a cornerstone in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the initial messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccine clinical trials excluded several vulnerable groups, including young children and lactating individuals.1 The US Food and Drug Administration deferred the decision to authorize COVID-19 mRNA vaccines for infants younger than 6 months until more data are available because of the potential priming of the children’s immune responses that may alter their immunity.2 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends offering the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines to breastfeeding individuals,3 although the possible passage of vaccine mRNAs in breast milk resulting in infants’ exposure at younger than 6 months was not investigated. This study investigated whether the COVID-19 vaccine mRNA can be detected in the expressed breast milk (EBM) of lactating individuals receiving the vaccination within 6 months after delivery....
Of 11 lactating individuals enrolled, trace amounts of BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273 COVID-19 mRNA vaccines were detected in 7 samples from 5 different participants at various times up to 45 hours postvaccination....
The sporadic presence and trace quantities of COVID-19 vaccine mRNA detected in EBM suggest that breastfeeding after COVID-19 mRNA vaccination is safe, particularly beyond 48 hours after vaccination. These data demonstrate for the first time to our knowledge the biodistribution of COVID-19 vaccine mRNA to mammary cells and the potential ability of tissue EVs to package the vaccine mRNA that can be transported to distant cells. Little has been reported on lipid nanoparticle biodistribution and localization in human tissues after COVID-19 mRNA vaccination. In rats, up to 3 days following intramuscular administration, low vaccine mRNA levels were detected in the heart, lung, testis, and brain tissues, indicating tissue biodistribution.4 We speculate that, following the vaccine administration, lipid nanoparticles containing the vaccine mRNA are carried to mammary glands via hematogenous and/or lymphatic routes.5,6 Furthermore, we speculate that vaccine mRNA released into mammary cell cytosol can be recruited into developing EVs that are later secreted in EBM....
...We believe it is safe to breastfeed after maternal COVID-19 vaccination. However, caution is warranted about breastfeeding children younger than 6 months in the first 48 hours after maternal vaccination until more safety studies are conducted. In addition, the potential interference of COVID-19 vaccine mRNA with the immune response to multiple routine vaccines given to infants during the first 6 months of age needs to be considered. It is critical that lactating individuals be included in future vaccination trials to better evaluate the effect of mRNA vaccines on lactation outcomes.

As we can see, "The Science" again failed us.
But was it by hook or crook?
Either way. Add another checkmark to the got it RIGHT column for the Anti-vax'ers, real data collectors statisticians & Honest Immunology Researchers.
Many of these people went thru hell trying to warn us and were labeled conspiracy theory nuts, professionally blackballed, Social media banned/censored, hounded, attacked and jailed, sued and broken.
The DC Swampers had best be ready to vacate the USA, if they cannot figure out how to rig this election also.
Hattip to Thing From Snowy Mountain. Long — some key paragraphs below:
[TheAtlantic] Only a couple dozen doctors specialize in chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). Now their knowledge could be crucial to treating millions more patients.
ME/CFS involves a panoply of debilitating symptoms that affect many organ systems and that get worse with exertion. The Institute of Medicine estimates that it affects 836,000 to 2.5 million people in the U.S. alone, but is so misunderstood and stigmatized that about 90 percent of people who have it have never been diagnosed. At best, most medical professionals know nothing about ME/CFS; at worst, they tell patients that their symptoms are psychosomatic, anxiety-induced, or simply signs of laziness. While ME/CFS patients, their caregivers, and the few doctors who treat them have spent years fighting for medical legitimacy, the coronavirus pandemic has now forced the issue.
A wide variety of infections can cause ME/CFS, and SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, is no different: Many cases of long COVID are effectively ME/CFS by another name.

Recently, 9 months after having had an interesting case of C-19/22. I have finally started to review where I was at in my collection of various writing projects, I was working on.
I can honestly say, and much to my embarrassment. I still have a ways to go before I'd consider myself back to pre-infection functional levels.
