  1. How would this work if the bible was banned in some schools in Texas? The Texas Senate passed a bill Thursday requiring each public school classroom to display a copy of the Ten Commandments What a complete mess.
  2. Which is of course very good news the way it has evolved so far, hopefully it will stay that way, but as you mentioned yourself, nobody has a crystal ball
  3. " As for "not all of the mutations are going to be milder" can you please support this with some evidence. Crystal ball perhaps?" Antigenic shift/drift, covid goes through this, its the same with flu, some years it can be more virulent.
  4. My kids loved the Notting Hill Carnival in London. Schools have their own floats and performers there too. Full of sexualized heterosexual behaviour in some of the adult parades but its a family day out, its put in perspective. A few LGBTQ floats there to. Mind you, I avoided it at night.
  5. So if a librarian tries to get a copy of the Bible or any banned book to a student, they'll be prosecuted? LOL at least that would be the case in Arkansas The law will subject librarians to criminal charges if they are found to have furnished any item deemed “harmful to minors”. The plaintiffs argue the new law is illegal because it is a direct attack on free speech guaranteed by the first and 14th amendments to the US constitution. They call Act 372 a censorship law that seeks to “ban books in libraries and criminalize librarians”. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jun/02/arkansas-book-ban-law-lawsuit
  6. Its a tradition, started since the Stonewall Uprising 1969. Its grown internationally with millions of people taking part around the world. Parties, workshops, concerts, picnics and of course the parade that the homophobic's seem to focus on. Its to: "recognize the impact that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals have had on history locally, nationally, and internationally." https://www.loc.gov/lgbt-pride-month/about/
  7. from 2022 and plenty more to cite COVID-19 vaccination has substantially altered the course of the pandemic, saving tens of millions of lives globally. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3099(22)00320-6/fulltext
  8. Science is not irrelevant, when new variants emerge the the vaccine effectiveness also changed, consequently what public figures state reflects that change. The important aspect however, they carried on saving millions of lives.
  9. The article you quoted is taken from the clip on MSNBC . The fact check link addresses that same clip and quote on MSNBC but I presume you know that and instead deflect. Here let me add some more for you: “The issue is that COVID-19 is not the same disease as it was 6 months ago. The delta variant is more contagious and requires higher levels of antibodies for killing it. Therefore, these videos tell only half the story,” Dr Buddy Creech, Associate Professor of Pediatrics, Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in Nashville, Tennessee, told Reuters via email when presented with the claims.
  10. Your quote from the article my highlight: Now refer back to my fact check link:
  11. The authorities also managed to save millions of lives worldwide with the vaccines.
  12. Why am I not surprised..................... Fact Check-Merged clips of CDC Director Rochelle Walensky discussing vaccine protection from severe COVID-19 are missing context Two merged clips of the Centre of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Rochelle Walensky discussing the protection from COVID-19 for those vaccinated in March 2021 and August 2021 are presented in a way that is missing context. The video places two clips side-by-side. Speaking on the Rachael Maddow show on MSNBC in March 2021, in the first clip Walensky said that CDC data showed that vaccinated people “don’t carry the virus” and “don’t get sick” (here). https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-walensky-clips-idUSL1N2PX1IZ
  13. No there's not still 30M people in the UK unvaccinated. Among people aged 18 years and over, 75.8% had received at least three COVID-19 vaccinations as of 2 March 2023. Of those who had received three doses and were eligible, 77.7% had continued to their fourth vaccination. https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/conditionsanddiseases/articles/coronaviruscovid19latestinsights/vaccines
  14. Well he needs to find some replacements before this stress test, this is the second time the head of trust and safety has resigned. Twitter’s Head of Trust and Safety Resigns Twitter’s head of trust and safety, Ella Irwin, resigned from the company Thursday, she told The Wall Street Journal. Irwin’s departure is the second time someone in that role has left since Elon Musk bought the company in October. Yoel Roth, who had previously served as Twitter’s head of trust and safety, left the company in November, and Irwin subsequently took the top job overseeing user content and safety policies. https://www.wsj.com/amp/articles/twitters-head-of-trust-and-safety-resigns-62c59299
  15. Using pump action shot guns to blow the Russian drones out of the skies!
  16. No there is no evidence, there was one flawed study of Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria. That had so many holes they had to issue corrections and admissions that it was just a hypothesis. ROGD, this term has no clinical validation ROGD is currently not a formal mental health diagnosis The study consists of observations from parents, which only creates a hypothesis. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/what-is-rapid-onset-gender-dysphoria There is evidence to the contrary and plenty of it. 'Social contagion' isn’t causing more youths to be transgender, study finds https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-health-and-wellness/social-contagion-isnt-causing-youths-transgender-study-finds-rcna41392 Full study https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/150/3/e2022056567/188709/Sex-Assigned-at-Birth-Ratio-Among-Transgender-and
  17. Of course but the gun nuts would rather blame just about anything else than the availability of so many killing machines.
  18. "the document is finally taken seriously after all this time the FBI hid it. Can but hope" Yes you can but hope, but in reality its already been investigated and: "The FBI and prosecutors who reviewed the information couldn’t corroborate the claims."
  19. That's only your opinion they are fake democracies, I provided facts. Here's some more facts: https://freedomhouse.org/countries/freedom-world/scores Feel free to back up your claims with credible links that they are fake.
  20. Will be interesting to see how they push this: books? I watched some of her statements in Russia on Sputnik. Yep her book was mentioned.
  21. Yep, I can list more than 5 thanks. https://www.democracymatrix.com/ranking
  22. What's Biden guilty of and where's the evidence?
  23. Don't worry, I hear the reason she defected to Russia is because she has a crush on Putin's mate Steven Seagal. I guess he'll be applying for his US passport back now.....lol
  24. That link is for encounters not just crossings Encounters encompass two distinct kinds of events: apprehensions, in which migrants are taken into custody in the United States – at least temporarily – to await adjudication, and expulsions, in which migrants are immediately expelled to their home country or last country of transit without being held in U.S. custody.
  25. Disney has been doing fine in China since 2019 doesn't seem to be losing out at all now. The Marvel movie ban in China has officially been lifted The Marvel titles that were blocked from release in China include Black Widow, Spider-Man: No Way Home, Eternals, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Thor: Love and Thunder. https://www.euronews.com/culture/2023/01/18/the-marvel-movie-ban-in-china-has-officially-been-lifted
