In March 2021, a year into the Covid-19 pandemic, the New York Times shared the results of a comprehensive survey of 35,000 Americans done by Gallup and Franklin Templeton. True to form, the Times refused to face the survey’s epic implications.
The Times started pulling punches in the headline, “Covid’s Partisan Errors: Republicans tend to underestimate Covid risks — and Democrats tend to exaggerate them.” This equivocation papered over the real news hook of the story, namely that health officials and their media enablers scared policy makers, especially in blue states, into making catastrophic, fear-based misjudgments.

A survey in the U.K. found that 51 percent of 18 to 34-year-olds said they pray at least once a month, while only 24 percent of those 55 and older said the same.
The associate director of the polling company that conducted the survey, Savanta ComRes, suggested that the finding could be partially attributed to the proliferation of virtual prayers and religious services during the pandemic.
Ten percent of British adults reported in January that their faith is stronger as a result of the pandemic, according to the Pew Research Center. Growth in faith during the pandemic was even more pronounced in the U.S.

Texas authorities say an armed customer intervened during the attempted robbery of a fried chicken fast food restaurant, fatally wounding one gunman and sending a second suspect struck by gunfire to the hospital.
Port Arthur police responded around 8:45 p.m. Friday to an aggravated robbery happening at the Church’s Chicken location at 1849 Jefferson Drive. Detectives learned that two suspects armed with handguns were robbing the restaurant, but an armed citizen intervened and a shootout ensued. "Several shots were fired and both suspects were struck," the Port Arthur Police Department said in a press release. "The suspects fled the scene and were later located by police officers."

Dr. Fauci on Friday was grilled on CNBC about so-called Covid ‘breakthrough’ cases.
“Dr. Fauci, you guys have been pushing the vaccine and I understand why – I’m vaccinated, but I also have Covid and it spread through my entire family in the past few weeks,” CNBC host Sara Eisen said from her home office.
She continued, “And I just wonder about the public messaging around vaccinations. Three vaccinated people got Covid in my house, two unvaccinated children got it. Are you too casual about the limitations of the vaccine? Because it does feel to me that breakthroughs are happening, they’re happening regularly

Chants of "F*** Joe Biden" rained down from the crowd at Alabama’s Talladega Superspeedway after Brandon Brown captured his first NASCAR Xfinity Series race victory.
The anti-Biden chants came during Brown’s post-race interview. After Brown told a reporter his victory was a "dream come true," the crowd began to loudly shout in unison their displeasure with the president.
The reporter acknowledged the chants and claimed the fans were shouting "Let’s go Brandon!"
NASCAR initially posted video of the interview with the chant but later deleted the tweet.
Fox News reached out to NASCAR to ask why the post was taken down but did not immediately receive a response.

Homeschooling numbers have increased over 300% in the last two years, according to federal government Census data. This spike does not include Americans engaged in virtual learning through a public or private school program due to COVID protocols. These are full-time homeschoolers.
The United States Census Bureau has been tasked with collecting data through nationwide surveys for over 80 years. The data are intended for use by other government agencies and elected officials for policy decisions. This is the first time the Census Bureau has sought to identify the total number of homeschoolers in America. Previous surveys only marked children who were un-enrolled

Senator Ron Johnson, R-Wisc., claimed that the U.S. still doesn't have an FDA-approved vaccine as he exposed what was really approved by the government agency on "Fox News Primetime." SEN. RON JOHNSON: We do not have an FDA-approved vaccine being administered in the U.S. The FDA played a bait and switch. They approved the Comirnaty version of Pfizer drugs. It’s not available in the U.S. They even admit it. I sent them a letter three days later going "What are you doing?" What they did is they extended the emergency use authorization for the Pfizer drug vaccine that’s available in the U.S. CORRECTION*

The Austin Police Department announced it will no longer respond to calls for "non-emergencies" after a cut to the police budget in 2020 led to staffing shortages. Mackenzie Kelly, an Austin City Council member, said the decision to defund the police has led to "disastrous consequences" in the city.
The Austin City Council voted in August 2020 to cut up to $150 million – roughly 34% – from the police budget. By the end of July, Austin reported that the number of homicides in 2021 had already matched the total homicides in all of 2020.
"A lot of what we’re seeing happening starting today is coming home to roost from that decision,"

Victoria has extended vaccination mandates to more than one million workers on the authorised worker list after another day of more than 1,000 locally-acquired Covid cases.
On Friday the state recorded 1,143 new local cases and three coronavirus deaths in the past 24 hours.
The premier, Daniel Andrews, said the case numbers presented a “challenge” for the state as he announced that all authorised workers would be subject to compulsory vaccination in order to work on site.
The mandate will cover everyone who is currently allowed to work outside the home, including cleaners, allied health professionals and even pool maintenance operators, affecting about 1.2m Victorians.

I don't understand the commotion over oil spilled into the Gulf of Mexico from drilling operations after Hurricane Ida. Oil has always oozed out of the ground to foul land, lakes, and oceans. That's how people first discovered the stuff.
In nature, some oil on the surface evaporates off as naphtha (probably the basis of the ancient Greek fire). Other oil is digested by bacteria, converting it into simple organic compounds that other organisms feast on, leading to localized exuberant biodiversity. The heavier components of oil remain as lumps called bitumen or asphalt.
The Dead Sea was called Lake Asphaltites because of the gooey pebbles that floated

A recent story out of Kansas City, the town in which I live, suggests just how eager the Left is to control our lives, right down to the food we eat. The story involves a friendly hole-in-the-wall café whose brave proprietor had had enough.
A little background is in order. In 2008, I somehow emerged as the public face of the opposition to a ballot measure that called for a ban on smoking in bars and restaurants in Kansas City. What made this unusual, and what made me an effective spokesman, was that I never smoked. Well, not that effective—my side lost the election, narrowly.

You've heard of "going postal:? Maybe the next odious term should be "going academic."
We're seeing an awful lot of arson as cause for California's wildfires and at treasured institutions being perpetrated by academics.
Here's the latest going on near Redding, California from the Washington Post:
Thousands of people have fled their homes to escape a wildfire engulfing a forest in California’s north, which authorities believe was sparked deliberately.
Police have arrested a 30-year-old woman on charges of igniting the Fawn fire. Workers at a quarry in Shasta County said they saw the woman trespassing last Wednesday before the fire erupted in a remote canyon
Comments:
Mr. Cashill reporting on how Dems are dramatically over estimating the severity of a case of Wuhan flu. NYT doesn't much care to take this info to the obvious next level. WHY are Dems so misinformed?
Because all the Enemedia are providing disinformation, not truth, that's why. Some Republicans seek alternative sources and have more access to facts, not propaganda.
