The R's negotiated a bi-partisan commission with unelected members, and then McCarthy voted against it, and McConnell filibustered it. You can take your ball and go home, but don't start crying cuz somebody brought another ball, and the game is being played without you. |

Big question is. What is going happen? It's obvious since election, Biden was installed to weaken America.
Just the Borders proves that. 300% increase (from China) Fentanyl, 1000% increase crossings, Covid, military ordered to help... Something is wrong? |

There’s something remarkable happening in France right now, and it’s starting to feel a little “Louis XVI-ish.”
If you’re not familiar with the French Revolution (May 5, 1789 – November 9, 1799), it was an incredible period of sweeping political and societal change in France.
And while there were many different circumstances and reasons which sparked the revolution, it really boiled down to three main crisis points: social, political, and economic. And one of the most formidable groups spearheading the push for reform were the peasants — or as we’d call them today, the “working class.”
French peasants were furious over rapid population growth, harvest failures, physiocratic calls for modernization of agriculture — basically “agricultural economists” seeking to revamp farming – -as well as the rising cost of dues paid out to the Lords who owned the land.
These issues were the driving force behind the peasants’ desire to demolish feudalism in France.
In short, the monarchy had gotten far too big for its britches, and the working class said, “enough,” and grabbed their pitchforks and took to the streets… and the rest is history.
There was far more to it than that, but you get the picture.
And as it always does, history repeats its self… and once again, the French working class is back in the streets, with symbolic pitch-forks in hand, protesting a government that’s gotten far too big for its britches.
This time around, the French working class is furious over President Emmanuel Macron’s tyrannical Covid vaccine push.
Macron is basically telling people, you either take the jab or you lose any shot at a normal life.
Threats like that didn’t sit well with the hard-working people of France, and they came out to protest — hundreds of thousands of people.
However, what’s happening in France goes even deeper than vaccines — many of the people who are protesting are also experiencing mounting poverty, and a country that’s been overrun with refugees — this is true especially in cities like Marseilles, whose citizens have a natural inherent distrust of authority and government — they’re like the “Rebel South” in the US.
When you put the entire picture together, you can start to see those “Louis XVI” vibes I mentioned earlier, right?
The images coming out of France are stunning and for those of us in the United States, who feel we’re just a hop, skip, and a jump away from this happening in our country, it’s inspiring to see brave citizens stand up and fight back against tyranny.
Take a look:
Nurses and doctors faced off against cops:
Citizens again swarmed at the Place de la Bastille:

Mask wearing is based on an observational study of households in China? LMAO! We had neary 2 years for scientists to do actual verifiable studies on mask efficacy and also the efficacy of various types of masks and there are ZERO studies.
Direct Evidence of the Efficacy of Public Mask WearingIf there is strong direct evidence, either a suitably powered randomized controlled trial (RCT), or a suitably powered metaanalysis of RCTs, or a systematic review of unbiased observational studies that finds compelling evidence, then that would be sufficient for evaluating the efficacy of public mask wearing, at least in the contexts studied. Therefore, we start this review looking at these types of evidence.
Direct Epidemiological Evidence.Cochrane ( 7) and the World Health Organization ( 8) both point out that, for population health measures, we should not generally expect to be able to find controlled trials, due to logistical and ethical reasons, and should therefore instead seek a wider evidence base. This issue has been identified for studying community use of masks for COVID-19 in particular ( 9). Therefore, we should not be surprised to find that there is no RCT for the impact of masks on community transmission of any respiratory infection in a pandemic.
Only one observational study has directly analyzed the impact of mask use in the community on COVID-19 transmission. The study looked at the reduction of secondary transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in Beijing households by face mask use ( 10). It found that face masks were 79% effective in preventing transmission, if they were used by all household members prior to symptoms occurring. The study did not look at the relative risk of different types of mask. |
