Nothing good that's for sure. I worked in a public school during covid. I saw kids blow/and or wipe their noses with their mask. Take them off for a moment and lay them on a table. Swirl them around and put them back on. Drop them on the floor, cough into them and even pick at their ears. They lied about EVERYTHING covid. And that doesn't include their own breath in and out caught right there by their mouth and nose. And now they have monkeypox to push on us.

If you wear a mask for ten minutes - - and you're still alive - - that means you've been inhaling enough oxygen to keep you among the living. And if the oxygen molecules can get through - - just think how easy it is for microscopic flu bugs to do the same thing. A flu bug looking at a face mask - - is like a mosquito looking at a cyclone fence. DUH!

Saw a clown in Costco yesterday wearing a HEPA mask. At least he may have been getting some results for his effort.

Is it really necessary to include the word ''face'' when saying ''face mask''? Is there any other kind of mask? ...or to avoid confusing it with a crotch mask?

I made my mask out of cotton fabric, straight pins and rubber bands. It did not go below my chin so I could always breath easily.

Certifying Elections

After Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election, a handful of congressional Democrats objected to certifying his electoral victory. But, after some local election officials withheld votes to certify the 2020 presidential election for Joe Biden over concerns about that election’s administration, Democrats launched an intimidation campaign to force those officials to fall in line. Wielding prosecutions and threats of lawsuits, their message is clear: rubber-stamp election results or else. Last week, for example, election meddler Marc Elias threatened Republican officials in a post on X, implying that, should they not certify election results, he will sue them. “In 2020, Trump tried to overturn the election. My team and I beat him

The Federal Bureau of Prisons has been registering federal prisoners to vote in Alabama, according to Secretary of State Wes Allen, an effort he claims is “illegal.” “At least one liberal third-party organization has been deployed by the Federal Bureau of Prisons to conduct voter registration in federal prisons in Alabama,” Allen said in a statement to The Federalist. “Obviously, this raised questions for my staff and I.” Allen said President Joe Biden’s “Executive Order on Promoting Access to Voting,” issued in March 2021, attempts to “mobilize and weaponize the entire federal government” to “register primarily Democrat leaning groups of voters.”

This is a weird follow-up to the Nord Stream pipeline explosion. Apparently, German investigators are on the hunt for a Ukranian suspect who was hiding out in Warsaw, Poland. Why Germany, and not the USA? Because the USA previously blamed Russia, and it will look silly now if they admit it wasn’t Putin. The Ukranian suspect is named is “Volodymyr Z”, and before the Polish police could arrest him and turn him over to the German police, Volodymyr Z slipped back across the border into Ukraine. That’s the story, and apparently, they are sticking to it. BERLIN, Aug 14 (Reuters) – Poland received a European arrest warrant issued by Berlin

However, President Trump put a stop to that false narrative by telling everyone there was ZERO truth to such a claim.

This is an official Kamala Harris campaign video. It is hard to say what the point is. Kamala ridicules white people for eating food that isn’t spicy. The commercial is a dialogue between Harris and Tim Walz. Walz plays the white guy who eats “white guy tacos.” Walz is the bottom end of this relationship: he humiliates himself by being subservient to Harris, on behalf of (obviously inferior) white people: (X) Playing to idiotic racial stereotypes is commonly known as racism.

In yet another example of the mainstream media’s obsession with irrelevant distractions, the Democrats and far-left outlets have latched onto the mispronunciation of Kamala Harris’s name as if it were a national crisis. Instead of focusing on the critical issues facing the American people, the media elites have once again shown their priorities are skewed beyond repair. It can be recalled that MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski has claimed that Republicans and right-wing media have initiated a “hate campaign” against Vice President Kamala Harris. “I’ve heard from inside Republican circles and right-wing media that the hate campaign against Kamala Harris

With the announcement of the 2025 transition team well in advance, you might note that President Donald Trump is taking a much more aggressive stance on the vetting of potential members of his administration. This is a critical and necessary proactive plan; it should be considered a very good sign. President Trump has appointed Linda McMahon and Howard Lutnick as co-chairs of the transition team. However, President Trump has also appointed JD Vance, Donald Trump Jr and Eric Trump as honorary chairs, likely with veto authority over any staffing recommendation.

Donald Trump has enlisted the help of former Democratic Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard as he fine-tunes for his first debate against Vice President Kamala Harris. Gabbard, 43, took part in a recent strategy session with the former president, 78, at his Mar-Lago estate ahead of his September debate against the 59-year-old Democratic nominee, according to the New York Times. Gabbard, who at one point was on Trump’s lengthy running mate shortlist, has experience debating Harris dating back to their time as Democratic presidential primary candidates in 2019, and she unleashed a blistering attack on the then-California senator’s record as top prosecutor in the Golden State in one of their showdowns.

James Carville’s career matches the trajectory of the Democrat party. Once, he was a pragmatic political strategist who managed to get Bill Clinton into the White House by focusing on economic issues. Then, he was a sleazy misogynist who helped Clinton skate past his history of sexual assaults. Now, he’s just another racist Democrat operative. Nowhere is that clearer than in his racist attack on Israel and its supporters in America. According to Carville, the only reason Republicans support Israel is because they think it’s a “white” country. This is offensive and ignorant at more levels than I can count.
