Lauren Boebert: Democrats Seek to Use Language to Control the Narrative, Shape Perception

“If they control then language, they control the narrative. And if they control the narrative, they control perception, and right now in America, it seems that perception is reality,” she said, stressing that it is up to the Senate to hold the line as the House continues to advance House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) radical proposals, such as the Equality Act, which she forcefully stood against in a fiery floor speech last week.

The ‘COVID Relief Bill’ Is Mostly a Expensive Bundle of Politically Motivated Giveaways

It’s true this bill is moving through Congress at the same time that COVID-19 relief is sweeping the country. With the number of new cases, hospitalizations, and deaths falling all across the country while vaccination totals soar, it feels like the end of the pandemic could be right around the corner. Biden said this week that vaccine supply will be sufficient to cover all adult Americans who want a shot by the end of May. Some states are lifting economic lockdowns and behavior restrictions. Sweet, sweet relief is coming.

But let’s be very clear about this: It is not coming from Congress.

No, the bill that the Senate is likely to pass this week is a larded-up bounty of mostly Democratic policy goals that will add $1.9 trillion to the federal budget deficit—yes, every last penny of this beast is being added to the national credit card.

Biden’s Handlers Cut His Feed and Who Paid for Illegal Immigrant t-Shirts?

Sometimes the Sock Puppet in Chief forgets his role. – President Donald Trump used to hold 2 to 3 press availabilities on a daily basis; Joe Biden, meanwhile, has yet to hold a single one across his 7 weeks thus far in office. This stark contrast has naturally created troubling questions about what in the world is going on here, especially given the fact that China Joe is so obviously displaying the classic signs of an elderly person dealing with advancing dementia.

Ontario Premier Ford Announces $27 Million Boost To Tourism Industry

The Ford government is providing a one-time investment of up to $27 million to support the continued operation, maintenance and capital needs of six major tourism and cultural institutions in the Greater Toronto Area. This funding will protect jobs while ensuring their financial stability during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Canada’s missed shots: How Ottawa’s COVID-19 vaccine promises were out of step with reality

When the Trudeau government spent big to pre-order vaccines, it said Canada would be well prepared. But now, Canadian inoculation rates are behind peer nations, as experts say federal officials put too much faith in global supply chains.

An Election in 2021 Likely to Result in Another Stalemate

Although it seems to be the consensus among political pundits and poll analysts that currently Erin O’Toole has little chance of beating Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, it is noted less often it also seems quite unlikely at this point for Trudeau to win himself back a majority government.

FUREY: Public health officials are not perfect

Over the weekend, Anthony Furey reported that parents were being told by Peel Public Health that young children who are dismissed from school must be quarantined completely alone for the two week period – even if they don’t have COVID.

After Anthony’s report, Peel Public Health apologized and admitted that they made a mistake.

This is a story that shows public health officials make mistakes and Canadians have the right to push back and criticize them.

Secret Alphabet Project “Wolverine” Aims To Give People Superhuman Hearing

X, a company focused on moonshot ideas that’s owned and operated by the Google parent Alphabet, is now working on a project named “Wolverine” after the X-Men superhero due to his heightened senses, Business Insider reports. The ultimate goal is to develop tech that lets people filter out a specific source of noise, perhaps granting abilities like being able to focus on just one speaker out of a noisy crowd.

One way or another, this will be used against ordinary citizens.

My Mom

Update: Just before 3 AM the hospital called. Mom’s Oxygen levels are sinking again. I was advised to head to the hospital.

Things are not looking good.

The Doctors advised me this afternoon that Mom likely has only a couple of days left.

Miracles happen and there is always hope.

They are treating her with steroids for the covid and anti-psychotics for the delirium she has experienced.

Steroids raise blood sugar so she is also receiving insulin.

This is on top of her heart medications, Mom suffers CHF.

Mom was resting comfortably this afternoon when I visited though she was unresponsive due to the meds. She’s currently on 15 litres of oxygen.

She was holding steady when I left this afternoon.

Then I received a call from the hospital shortly before midnight.

Mom’s oxygen levels had dropped to the mid to low 80’s. At this level over a relatively short period of time organ failure and brain damage occurs I was told.

I was given a choice – allow non-invasive procedures, primarily re-positioning & suctioning, or intubation i.e. a ventilator, an invasive procedure.

Mom’s lungs are overrun with covid. While intubation is the best means of delivering oxygen there is no guarantee that enough will be supplied given the state of the inflammation in her lungs to raise her levels to an acceptable degree.

Further mom’s heart may not be able to take the strain of intubation. There exists a real possibility based on the doctor’s experience of heart attack or stroke given mom’s condition and age.

It’s not the type of phone call anyone wants to receive. I leaned initially to intubation as the surest way to deliver oxygen but when advised the risk of weaning someone from the apparatus is as great as the intubation insertion itself I backed off and went for repositioning.

The Doctor reminded me to think of what Mum would want given she has a DNR. The risk of being left in a vegetative state is the reason why she elected to have a DNR in place.

Repositioning is just that, move her around and see if the lungs work better and the oxygen intake improves.

I was then advised to make my way to the hospital.

15 minutes later the doctor called. Their repositioning effort worked, Mom’s oxygen level has risen to the mid 90’s, not perfect but acceptable.

I still won’t sleep much tonight and will visit tomorrow.

Thank you all for caring.

Note – post is a sticky new posts will appear below.

Canadians wary of long-term care: survey

Three-quarters of Canadians think the high number of deaths in long-term care (LTC) homes during the COVID-19 pandemic could have been reduced if governments had acted sooner, according to a recent survey. Since the start of the pandemic, the virus rampaged through many of these facilities causing high levels of infection and death.

And So it Begins: Democrats Begin Turning on Biden

Democrats have already begun turning on Joe Biden. As many on the right expected, Democrats were only going to stand by him when he was running to defeat the man they desperately wanted gone: President Donald Trump.

Now that Trump is presumably going to be gone, the unity within the Democrat party is gone too.

Ontario doctor cautioned by regulators for spreading COVID-19 misinformation

An Ontario doctor has been cautioned by the College of Physicians and Surgeons for spreading misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines and lockdowns that could put the public at risk.

Dr. Kulvinder Gill was issued three cautions for “inappropriate” and “unprofessional” statements she posted on social media claiming that neither lockdowns nor vaccines were necessary.

On Twitter, the Brampton doctor had claimed there was “absolutely no medical or scientific reason for this prolonged, harmful and illogical lockdown,” the college wrote in its decision.

If I lived in Ontario, I’d be switching to her tomorrow.

Will Minnesota be the first Muslim State in America?

For longtime readers of my other blog, Refugee Resettlement Watch, you know that beginning in the 1990’s the US State Department and its ‘religious’ charity contractors, specifically Lutheran and Catholic resettlement contractors, have been placing Somalis, many from Dadaab the big UN camp in Africa where Ilhan Omar previously resided, into the state of Minnesota.

Canada: We’ll trade you Minnesota for Alberta.

New York Pilots COVID Passport of Sorts to Fast-Track Reopening: Here’s How It Works

The governor announced a pilot program Tuesday to test the Excelsior Pass during events at the two arenas. Think of the pass like a “COVID passport” of sorts, one that relies on technology to confirm a person’s vaccination or recent negative virus test through a confidential data transfer.

As an immigrant, I wanted to understand Canada’s fascination with the Tragically Hip. This is what I found

Images of a weeping prime minister are what alerted me to the existence of the Tragically Hip, undoubtedly my most absurd introduction to a rock band.

I see now that it was also fitting for a group fronted by someone as unusual as Gordon Edgar Downie. He died exactly one month and 17 days after I set foot in Canada, so most early impressions of my newly adopted country were crowded with people on the subway wearing T-shirts proclaiming “In Gord we Trust.” I couldn’t wrap my head around it.

Hominid Footprints on Crete Could Change Evolutionary Theory For Good

He was not looking for hominid footprints from the prehistoric past. Paleontologist Gerhard Gierlinski, from Warsaw, Poland, was just trying to get away from it all in the summer of 2002 and enjoy the warm seas and soft sands on the Greek island of Crete with his girlfriend.

A researcher at the Polish Geological Institute, he was always ready to take samples of interesting things he spied on vacations, and he traveled with a hammer, a camera and a GPS for just such occasions.

What he discovered along the Mediterranean shores of the town of Trachilos would rock his world and send some researchers who were convinced that humans evolved solely in Africa, into angry denial, resulting in many of them casting aspersions on his jaw-dropping find.

Gierlinski asked colleagues from Poland, Sweden, Greece, the US and the UK, among them Dr. Per Ahlberg, for their opinions on what he saw as human-like footprints that had somehow been made into a flat rock along the shore.

The team of experts came to the conclusion that indeed, the impressions had been made by ancient human ancestors 5.6 million years ago, making them by far the oldest footprints ever discovered in Europe.

Anyone Flying Into China Can Now Be Forced To Have An Anal COVID-19 Swab: Report

Any traveler who flies into China can now be forced to undergo an anal swab to screen for COVID-19, according to new reports.

“China has made anal swab tests for the coronavirus mandatory for almost all international arrivals, deepening a row with other countries over a practice many have described as humiliating,” The Times of London reported.
