I know I am tired of hearing about how people cant pay their bills and cant get jobs. Almost every business around me has a now hiring sign and even places like Burger King and McDonalds are offering big sign on bonuses. My facility is offering sign on bonuses for both dietary and housekeeping positions which has never happened in the 14 years I have been there. I have not had a single app for housekeeping in months and am down 3 full time housekeepers. Normally we have a staff of 6-7 housekeepers and I currently have like 3.5. Our dietary dept is probably worse off the administrator had to help with dishes the other day. Me and my GF went to Hoss's the other day and they had a sign that said something like "short staffed is the new pandemic please be courteous to our staff." A very popular sports bar in my area had to limit its hours to do staff shortage. Best buy closes at 7. Game stop doesnt open till noon. Its just everywhere and every type of business.
This is the pastor who was holding church ceremonies, when the gestapo from the Canadian Government showed up and tried to break up his church service. He kicked them out, told them to get lost and stood up for he and his members' rights.
They came back again, and again, he berated them out of his church on another date.
The videos went viral, he was on talk shows. He hails from a Communist country and has been warning people, these actions like he has faced are indicative of bad things to come.
They came back a third time, and this time arrested him.
Saw this discussed on the news today. I'm assuming what they said are facts. They said, due to the welfare the Gubmint has given families during the pandemic, a person can get $800 a week of Government support. If you are married, two people can get $1600 a week.
That's $83,200 a year. Not to work.
Would you go do housekeeping or work at Hoss'?
And Jen Psaki looks directly into the camera and said the recent terrible job numbers had nothing to do with the Government incenting people not to work. Like she believed it.
You're new to this whole accountability and enabling thing I take it.
Welcome. Have a seat.
I'm just having a hard time wrapping my head around what he was actually charged on. I'm not familiar with Canada's laws but that just seems insane.
Calgary pastor Artur Pawlowski, who leads Calgary’s Street Church in Alberta, and his brother, Dawid Pawlowski, were charged with "organizing an illegal in-person gathering" after they encouraged people to show up to church despite coronavirus restrictions.

Nothing to see here, right? Organize, worship, practice your religious freedoms...end up on you knees being arrested.
Meanwhile, strip clubs are marked safe from Covid. If you don't see the Marxist in all of what is going on, you be blind.

Health might keep you from dying from Covid, it won’t stop you from contracting it. Health doesn’t explain differences in case rates.

Ron Johnson is a rare brand of idiot and his asinine statements regarding the vaccine are proof.Fully expect Tibor and HypoFlog to call all of this conspiracy theory stuff, because Joe is friends with Beijing and Xi and Ping and Pong and the White House seems to love China beyond just the President. So this will be laughed at.
Fact is, it's scary as ****.
Sen. Johnson demands answers from Fauci about US funding of Wuhan lab research: 'What were we doing cooperating with China?'

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) is demanding answers from Dr. Anthony Fauci on why the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases was reportedly funding potentially dangerous research at China's Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Johnson made an appearance on "Sunday Morning Futures," where Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo opened the interview by highlighting a report in The Australian that claimed Chinese military scientists discussed the weaponization of SARS coronaviruses five years before the COVID-19 pandemic occurred, which could empower China to create weapons "in a way never seen before." China's People's Liberation Army commanders were predicting that World War III would be fought with biological weapons, according to documents purportedly obtained by U.S. investigators, the Daily Mail reported.
Johnson responded to the report by saying, "First let me say, does that shock anybody? Certainly doesn't shock me."
The Republican from Wisconsin then took aim at Fauci for being the head of an organization that funded Chinese researchers at the infamous Wuhan lab.
"We should have been concerned and it does boggle your mind that Anthony Fauci continued to apparently fund gain-of-function research and cooperate with the Wuhan lab," Johnson said. "He had to know full well... the Wuhan lab, just about any organization in China is connected to the Communist Party of China as well as the People's Liberation Army. So what were we doing cooperating with China?"
Gain-of-function research means that researchers deliberately make viruses more dangerous or more infectious to humans so that the scientific community will be better prepared to combat outbreaks that occur naturally, but that process runs the risk of accidentally unleashing an outbreak from the lab.
The National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which is headed by Fauci, funded scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and other institutions to perform gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses, according to a Newsweek report from April 2020.
"In 2019, with the backing of NIAID, the National Institutes of Health committed $3.7 million over six years for research that included some gain-of-function work," the report stated. "The program followed another $3.7 million, 5-year project for collecting and studying bat coronaviruses, which ended in 2019, bringing the total to $7.4 million."
Gain-of-function research "for the purpose of understanding how bat coronaviruses could mutate to attack humans" was reportedly "run by EcoHealth Alliance, a non-profit research group, under the direction of President Peter Daszak, an expert on disease ecology," but funding was cut by the Trump administration last year.
"The Trump administration abruptly cut off funding for a project studying how coronaviruses spread from bats to people after reports linked the work to a lab in Wuhan, China, at the center of conspiracy theories about the Covid-19 pandemic's origins," Politico reported in April 2020.
Robert Kessler with the EcoHealth Alliance told PolitiFact, "We have not ever participated in gain-of-function research. Nor have we ever been funded to participate in gain-of-function research."
Fauci wrote a 2010 op-ed for the Washington Post, where he said, "Important information and insights can come from generating a potentially dangerous virus in the laboratory."
"Working carefully with influenza viruses they have engineered in isolated biocontainment laboratories, scientists in Europe and the United States have identified several mechanisms by which the virus might evolve to transmit efficiently in the ferret, the best animal model for human influenza infection," Fauci wrote. "This research has allowed identification of genetic pathways by which such a virus could better adapt to transmission among people. This laboratory virus does not exist in nature. There is, however, considerable concern that such a virus could evolve naturally."
Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.) is also concerned about American taxpayer money that could have funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab.
"Dr. Fauci was just on 'Meet the Press' and Chuck Todd didn't ask him a single question about the origin of the disease and whether U.S. taxpayer dollars went to gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology after this virus has destroyed our entire world," Gallagher said. "Noone is interested in getting to the bottom of how it started. Can someone in the American media please ask Fauci these basic questions?"
dude, you've been schooled on this so many times that you've resorted to moving imaginary goalposts. let this one ... die.
wow. excellent rebuttal with facts to promote your opinion.
Well sleepy Joe agrees with youSaw this discussed on the news today. I'm assuming what they said are facts. They said, due to the welfare the Gubmint has given families during the pandemic, a person can get $800 a week of Government support. If you are married, two people can get $1600 a week.

that's pretty you know coinclusive for the guy that come on man
So today you're about case rates. In the past, 437 times, you've clamored on and on and on about our nation's death rate compared to other countries.
You waffle harder than Eggo
You imbecile, the quoted statements were given by the Bat doctor prior to the release of the Chinese flu and another given as part of the disclosure for the funding for the gain-in-function research grant funded by the UNITED STATES.
Idiot. I am constantly amazed at the fact that the stupidest people in the universe - including you - so often believe they are smart. You are the Stacy Abrams of this message board. A fat, gap-toothed, ugly, bloated loser living a delusion of grandeur.
Now run along and get the adults some coffee.
There we have it folks, the Marxist Leftist response. Don't like the substance? Attack the author, never address the points.
You might pull your head from the sand and look around. It's the talk of the town. Instead of attacking Ron Johnson, perhaps you CoronoBro, China-loving Liberals might for once objectively look at the data piling up. Ron Johnson was just one voice. It's not his theory, he's one of countless pols pushing this.
Are you opposed to understanding the origin of the virus? I mean, you love the virus. One would THINK you'd love to know where it came from too.
The theory that COVID-19 escaped from a lab may not be so far-fetched
Nicholas Wade is an author and former science writer for The New York Times. The SARS-CoV-2 virus has disrupted people’s lives around the world for more than a year. But there’s no clear answ…
nypost.com
Here is a piece from the former editor of the NY Times science section who revisits the origins of the virus and all the unsavory financial and political connections. A legitimate, well respected peer who has done what all media outlets have refused to do - an exhaustive investigative journalistic piece.
"Why?" is the most obvious of questions. Why did "scientists' In China and the US feel so compelled to manipulate the protein spikes of a virus so as to allow it to attach to the ace receptors of humans with great efficiency? It's a great question. The answer, is other than an obsessive god complex, or according to them - is that so they can prepare for the day it does. This is a mad scientist, man v nature sort of.
Ernst presses China on whether COVID originated from Wuhan lab: 'The world deserves answers'
Iowa Republican Joni Ernst demanded Saturday that China "stop their cover-up" of the origins of the coronavirus and called for a complete investigation to prevent a "recurrence."

Classified Study: Covid May Have Originated in Wuhan Lab | RealClearPolitics
Classified Study: Covid May Have Originated in Wuhan Lab | RealClearPolitics
"A classified study of the origin of SARS-CoV-2 conducted a year ago by scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, the Department of Energy’s premier biodefense research institution, concluded the novel coronavirus at the heart of the current pandemic may have originated in a laboratory in China, Sinclair has learned."
That has nothing to do with Ron Johnson."A group of international scientists and academics are reiterating calls to the World Health Organization (WHO) to dig deeper in flushing out the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, in particular suspicions that the virus leaked from a lab in Wuhan, China, where first outbreak was reported."
But, but, but, but, but, but Ron Johnson....
Since Decaf will resort to another ad hominem attack, I want to bold what you've said as it is really super important.
We are NOT talking about the doctor testify after COVID was released. These are her comments that are documented. Made to get funding from the USA.
I bet Tibor doesn't even know what gain in function means, despite me posting that prior article which explains it. It's important. Gain in function research with viruses means working on the virus to make it more potent, aka to turn it into a weapon. The scientists...needed funding...from the USA...to re-engineer the virus....to be more deadly to mankind. By the way, gain of function research was BANNED at one point under Obama. Hmmmm.
Liberals, and the worst of them, those like Tibs and HypoFlog....turn a blind eye because politics.
Scary.

There is no doubt, none at all, that the majority of right-wingers in America have become delusional and unmoored from reality. It's like Republicans clasped hands and took off running & skipping giddily off the edge of a cliff, eyes wide open, with crazy smiles on their faces. This may be the onset of a national mental health crisis, within the aegis of a political belief system. This thread, along with many others on the board, are proof positive of this fact. It's beyond disturbing.
I'll send a prayer up for you guys. Never thought I'd see mass hypnosis take root in America in my lifetime. Sadly, that day is very much upon us.
Be well, fellas, be well.

You are absolutely right except aiming at the wrong belief system Tibs. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/apr/22/white-liberals-more-likely-have-mental-health-cond/
So I previously noted in my post about the origins of the Chinese flu that the manner in which the virus replicates and its infectivity rate are unique among the SARS viruses, since the Chinese flu variety has a furin cleavage at a location that is well-suited to bring about transmission and contagion. That furin cleavage - the place where the virus splits and releases RNA into the cytoplasm for replication - contained in the SARS-CoV2 virus is unique among all SARS viruses.
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
The unique location of the furin cleavage in the SARS-CoV2 makes it virulently transmissible, much more so than the prior SARS virus.
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
The location of the furin cleavage in the SARS-CoV2 is consistent with one specifically engineered by biogeneticists in a lab.
I urge Flog and Stacy Decaf to read the article from the Intelligencer. If you think it is some outlier right-wing blog, then you obviously failed to read it. The author is a well-known liberal scientist, the article is incredibly balanced and well-sourced. The article points out that the SARS-CoV2 virus has not mutated at all in more than a year, which is completely at odds with natural pathogens. This image compares the variations/mutations of the SARS-CoV2 with other SARS viruses:
Huh. Once again, consistent with a man-made organism.
Also, Chinese researchers admitted that after shutting down the Wuhan wet market and examining every protein at the location, they could not find the SARS-CoV2 virus in any creature.
www.dailymail.co.uk
So the virus' furin cleavage is unique, its lack of variation is unique, it is inherently transmissible using a furin cleavage not found in any other SARS virus, researchers found no evidence of the virus in the wet market, and the disease originated in a city that has a BSL-4 lab that has been noted to be so unsafe that United States scientists issued a warning about the lab in 2018.
I cite data. Research papers. Credible authors.
Stacy Decaf, do you have anything of substance to provide in response? Feel free to post a stupid meme and further prove that you are a bloated, stupid imbecile with nothing to add.

Ya, I saw that. The article is fairly intimidating though and I suspect most folks won't commit to reading the whole thing if they don't feel that maybe, just maybe they really really OUGHT to. Hence the video.
I believe the report doesn't quite go far enough. I would be willing to bet that enough ACTUAL journalism thrown at it may just prove that the virus did not escape accidentally...
