[Babylon Bee] CEDAR HILLS, OR—While discussing the hot-button issue of abortion with a friend over coffee on Friday, local woman Cindy Carson claimed a fetus is just a clump of cells, despite herself being just a slightly older, larger, more organized clump of cells.
"A fetus is just, like, a collection of cells or whatever," said the woman who was also made up of a collection of cells. "It's just, like, biology, you know?"
Her friend, also a clump of cells, agreed. "Yeah, it's just a bunch of cells collected and organized together or whatever." The bunch of cells then asked the barista, who was also reportedly a large clump of cells, for another cup of coffee.
Carson nodded. "Yeah, it's just like, this thing that's totally dependent on the mother -- sorry, birthing person." She said this despite herself being totally dependent on other people for her existence, from her own mom when she was born, to her parents when she was being raised, to other people in her community now that she is grown -- not to mention the God of the universe, on whom she is dependent for every breath she takes.
"Yeah, it's just like a parasite," said the woman who is also a parasite.
At publishing time, sources had confirmed that Carson was actually slightly mistaken, and she was a soul created by God and therefore had infinite worth -- just like the tiny "clumps of cells" she was discussing.
In which Sarah Hoyt lets loose about the recent pandemic, using language we are not accustomed to seeing from her. A taste:
[AccordingToHoyt] First, and because I didn’t promise not to do this: I TOLD YOU SO, I TOLD YOU SO, I F*CKING TOLD YOU SO.
For everyone who came here to lecture me, that the China Coff was going to depopulate the world, and I was being irresponsible for saying it was like the flu with a lot of stupid number games added; for every one who flounced because I told them the masks were a f*cking stupid idea that did nothing (including, yes, the gentleman who knew that masks would work against a VIRUS because when he was six someone made him put on a mask to go see his dying father); for everyone who mask-Karened with “just put on the mask”; for every raging asshole (including Sprouts grocery store manager) who told me that if I had a mask issue, I could get delivery, making asthma a crime worthy of home arrest; for every insane, stupid governor — Polis might be the dumbest of the lot — who made us wear masks outside, thereby making escape to the zoo or the botanic gardens impossible; to the f*cking airlines who f*cking stupid rules made it impossible for me to be at my dad’s 90th birthday.
Come closer so I can whisper in your ear: I TOLD YOU SO. After which I’m going to knee you in the groin so hard you’ll taste next Wednesday. Yes, even if you’re a woman.
So, yes, I KNEW from the beginning, and I was suicidally depressed that no one else seemed to see it. Honestly? I still don’t understand why. The numbers from the Diamond Princess were clear enough, but more than that, the fact that our institutions announced they wouldn’t audit cases of Covid-19, meaning there was no penalty for inflating the numbers, which they were being given extra money for; and the “must not question” policies of the social media and news media made it obvious what was happening: it’s a scam

Kids are going to miss their second year of camp because high altitude and mandatory mask is a stupid, dangerous combination.
In a lot of ways, camp is less outdoorsy for us; if we were city dwellers and this was the only chance for the kids to see stars, and next year is too old, I would be, shall I say, a bit pissed off.

Her reference to the Diamond Princess is spot on. That contained experience, along with the similar experience on the Roosevelt, provided clear evidence that this virus would have only a limited infection rate.

...Sarah usually covers the overnight shift at Instapundit.com, and quite often her stuff is comedy gold. She also brings a unique viewpoint to her writing - she's an immigrant from Portugal whose family got out after a Socialist coup there. Smart lady who knows her stuff.

whose family got out after a Socialist coup there
It’s my understanding that she emigrated after university, Mike, while her family — who are normal European lefties — happily remained behind in Portugal, puzzled by her choice and her politics.
Raj, one of the reasons we make sure to have the source stated at the top of the article in plain sight is so that those who dislike a particular writer need not suffer actually reading their words.
[Liberty Guard] As America celebrates another Memorial Day, remembering and honoring those who gave their lives in defense of our country and our freedoms, it is appropriate that we reflect also on the state of our armed forces, not so much in terms of where and how our forces are deployed (itself a timely and critical exercise for the Congress to deal with), but from the perspective of freedom within the military. In other words, are the men and women who serve, and who have served in our armed services, in both military and civilian capacities, having their individual liberty constrained simply by being associated with the military?
This might seem an odd question to be asked of our military, but considering the strange priorities reflected in actions taken by Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin during his first four months in office, it is a very relevant inquiry; the answer to which is deeply troubling.
In his 2003 book on the history of secret police — The Unsleeping Eye — Robert Stove quotes a passage written by Napoleon Bonaparte’s notorious Minister of Police, Joseph Fouché, to describe the situation by which new governments solidify their hold on power:
"Every government at its dawn usually takes advantage of a danger it has created, either to make it more firm, or to extend its power; all it needs is to escape a conspiracy to acquire more strength and influence."
Joe Biden was sworn into office just two weeks after the Jan. 6 violence that took place on Capitol Hill following a speech earlier that day by then-President Donald Trump. This "insurrection," as liberals and the mainstream media have come to call it, became the centerpiece for much of what the new administration claimed was the need for a crack-down on "extremism" and "white supremacy." Indeed, to this day, nearly six months after Jan. 6, national guard troops remain stationed in Washington, D.C. and "temporary" fencing remains on the Capitol ground.
In his role as defense secretary, Lloyd Austin has taken hold of the "extremism" ball passed to him by Biden, and continues to run with it as a primary, if not the main focus of his job. First, he highlighted the "danger" posed by "extremists in the ranks" to be a fundamental, if not existential threat to the good order and performance of America’s military, and on Feb. 5 issued an unusual, military-wide "stand down" to "address extremism." He followed this on April 9 by issuing a Defense Department order to establish a "Countering Extremism Working Group (CEWG)" with jurisdiction to include all military service members, civilian DOD employees and even retired military.
At the helm of this wide-ranging but vaguely defined "working group," is Bishop Garrison, appointed by Austin to be his "Point of Contact." Mr. Garrison’s position is not subject to Senate confirmation, and whether Republicans in either the House or the Senate will proactively inquire into what exactly he and his working group will be up to in the months ahead, remains to be seen. Republicans, however, should be concerned — very concerned — about where this is leading, insofar as it clearly conveys a plan to identify, intimidate, and remove civilians and military personnel with whatever Mr. Garrison and Secretary Austin consider to be "extremist" views."

Problem is "come after me" doesn't work. We need to go after him, had, direct and relentlessly until he is ruined, career-wise, mentally, and physically; to a point where suicide seems to be the best alternative he has. That's the pit he needs to be in. and keep him there, alive, as an example.

Direct Translation of the article by Tatiana Stoyanovich
[Regnum] After the visit of the US Special Representative for the Western Balkans, Matthew Palmer, to Belgrade on June 3, there were quite justified fears that the formation of the Community of Serbian Municipalities, agreed upon in 2013, would be presented as a big concession to Belgrade. This opinion was expressed to IA REGNUM by the Serbian political analyst, ex-deputy of the Serbian parliament Djordje Vukadinovic .
[IsraelTimes] Iran’s and Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,’s campaigns against Israel should be seen for what they are: acts of desperation.
Recent headlines from Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... about Hamas’s ’successes’ are no more than wishful thinking. The truth is that Israel has recently become so successful and powerful that — wishful thinking aside — its enemies have only cause for despair.
How on earth was the shooting of more than 4,000 missiles with an ensuing 13 deaths a victory?! And the one soldier who was killed was helping with emergency supplies for Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... at the moment he was killed. However nobody picked up on this, another indication of the one area in which Israel is floundering: public relations.
IRAN WAS BEHIND GAZA WAR
Iran, which some time ago threatened Dire Revenge against Israel, was undoubtedly behind the Gaza attacks and other disturbances. Also, Israel is being bombarded daily by negative reporting. Whereas the media themselves are the ones who are inventing the negative news and influencing public opinion against Israel.
WHAT ARE ISRAEL’S RECENT ACHIEVEMENTS?
— At the beginning of May, Intel announced that it is investing 10 billion dollars in its second mega-factory in Israel. On the same day the company announced a further 600 million dollars in investments in Israel.
— In 2020, more than 10 billion dollars was invested in Israeli high-tech start-ups, a record. This year the figure is expected to be around 20 billion dollars.
— Recently, the United Arab Emirates announced that it is establishing a 10-billion-dollar fund for investments in Israel.
— Well over 500 multinationals have established research centers in Israel.
— Israel currently has more start-ups than all countries of Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... combined.
— China is building a massive port in Haifa in which it has already invested over 3 billion dollars.
— Israel’s national gas fields have made the country nearly self-sufficient in energy and Israel will soon be exporting billions of dollars of gas per year to Egypt and Jordan. There are plans to build an underwater pipeline to Europe by 2025.
— Israeli desalination plants have made the country self-sufficient in water and Israel produces 95% of its food and is a major exporter of fresh produce, as well as a world leader in agricultural technologies.
— Israel has become a world leader in new medical technologies and was the first country in the world to vaccinate its population against COVID-19.
— Israel’s birthrate is double that of other Western nations. The demographic threat is a myth. The Jewish birthrate is now only slightly below the declining Arab birthrate and immigration makes up for the difference. Ultra-Orthodox Jews are thought to have the world’s highest birth-rate.
— Israel is now the world’s eighth largest arms supplier and is considered the eighth most powerful military might in the world.
AN ISRAELI BBC WOULD PROVIDE THE WORLD WITH QUALITY BROADCASTING AND INFORMATION
The answer to Israel’s tarnished public relations is to invest in the establishment of an international broadcasting corporation which would provide quality programming and information. Israel has amazing cultural potential, but Israeli culture and media are almost non-existent outside the country. It is imperative that Israel establish international media corporations to compete with the BBC and al-Jazeera.

Doing well yes. But actually. it's not so much Israel is thriving than it is their neighbors are failing so miserably. Simply bad luck or natural selection, you decide.
