COVID HERO Dramatic moment Chinese ‘Super Man’ stages lone anti-lockdown protest before he’s arrested – then FREED by furious crowd

THIS is the dramatic moment a Chinese man is arrested for staging a lone anti-lockdown protest before being freed by an angry crowd.

Footage shows the man- who was dubbed as "local Superman" delivering a speech protesting the country's strict zero Covid policy.

Ace's "The Saturday Night Joke"

Two women were out for a Saturday stroll. One had a Doberman and the other, a Chihuahua.

As they walked down the street, the one with the Doberman said to her friend,

"Let's go over to that bar for a drink."

The lady with the Chihuahua said,"We can't go in there. We've got dogs with us."

The one with the Doberman said,"Just watch, and do as I do."

They walked over to the bar and the one with the Doberman put on a pair of dark glasses and started to walk in. The bouncer at the door said, "Sorry, lady, no pets allowed."

The woman with the Doberman said,"You don't understand. This is my seeing-eye dog."

The bouncer said,"A Doberman?"

The woman said, "Yes, they're using them now. They're very good."

The bouncer said, "OK, come on in."

The lady with the Chihuahua thought that convincing him that a Chihuahua was a seeing-eye dog may be a bit more difficult, but thought, "What the heck," so she put on her dark glasses and started to walk in.

Once again the bouncer said, "Sorry, lady, no pets allowed."

The woman said,"You don't understand. This is my seeing-eye dog."

The bouncer said, "A Chihuahua?"

The woman with the Chihuahua said, ........

"A Chihuahua? They gave me a fucking Chihuahua?!"

Peanut flowers from Israel.

This accompanied the peanut picture. From Neal in Israel.
Peanut: My son's startup is doing some work on peanuts, and he brought me a few seedlings in 2021. The patch regenerated on its own this summer.

If you think that you have followers who assume, as I did, that peanuts grow out of the plant's roots, rather than from its flowers, you might want to includes these shots: 1 - flowers, about the size of a dime; 2 - the spike which grows out of the fertilized flower and burrows into the ground. Those flowers look like they are in the legume family, don't they. So do the leaves. And it's fascinating how the flowers send out spikes that burrow into the soil to form peanuts!

So peanuts are really the same as other nuts.

“Tipping is just a holdover from prohibition. Restaurants used to make a lot of money from alcohol, and when that became illegal their solution was just to stop paying wait staff and tell customers to pay them directly. This extended to delivery drivers, and eventually to bar staff when alcohol became legal again.
Generally those are the only 3 jobs that need tips, it's implicit that you the customer pay them for their time. Some places have tried to break the custom by actually paying their wait staff and reminding customers not to tip, but it's just too lucrative to hire a ton of employees for 2-3 dollars an hour, and if you're skilled, and it's a good restaurant, you can make a LOT as a waiter (a LOT that you don't always need to accurately report on your taxes...)”

A study recently published in Nature Communications used the Politifacts fact-checking database

Henry beat me to it. Also this in the story:

the study centers on a more recent phenomenon—misinformation provided by political elites, such as those who falsely claimed the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election was subject to widespread voter fraud....

The researchers also looked at the co-follower, co-share and co-retweet networks of 5,000 Twitter users and identified a cluster of accounts that tended to be followed by users who were estimated to be more conservative and who had higher misinformation exposure scores.

Sounds totally objective.

President Biden's rented Secret Service vehicles burst into flames in a parking lot Monday, just one day after he left his Nantucket vacation. Biden spent Thanksgiving on the ritzy Massachusetts island with his family last week. The Secret Service rented five vehicles from Hertz to carry the president and his family, and all five of them caught fire in the parking lot, according to footage first obtained by the Nantucket Current.

Ketanji Brown Jackson swipes at Biden DOJ during SCOTUS immigration case

Supreme Court oral arguments in a key immigration case grew heated Tuesday as Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson — President Biden’s first nominee to the court — rejected the White House’s interpretation of federal law.

Jackson accused Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar of having a “conceptual problem” in her understanding of the Administrative Procedure Act, which requires the federal bureaucracy to take certain steps when changing policies.

I don’t even know how to code. […] I literally never even opened the code for any of FTX.”

Jim nj. The only problem I have with such a report is exactly that they had extraordinary access to the Ukrainian side. There is still a war on and releasing such information may assist the aggressor in its future efforts to conquer Ukraine.

'It's The First Time I've Seen This in China'
On the ground in Shanghai, where young people, born after the Tiananmen Square Massacre, are fed up and fighting back against the CCP.

"Since Tiananmen, there’s been a pretty straightforward trade-off in China between the state and the 1.3 billion human beings it presides over: You let us do whatever we want, and in exchange, you get rich (or, at least, richer). But during the pandemic, that trade-off faltered. It went off the rails. Not just that. The pandemic has shown this new generation of Chinese, which never suffered through Tiananmen, to say nothing of the Cultural Revolution, what the regime is capable of. What it is willing to do to its own people. I suspect the young people are rethinking the terms of their agreement with the overlords in Beijing. I suspect they want to renegotiate."

Is RealClear Politics crazy, or am I? The RCP election result currently has the Senate at 51 Democrats to 49 Republicans, with Warnock having beaten Walker for a Dem pickup. Trouble is (it seems to me) the election isn't over till next Tuesday, and the Dems currently hold the seat, so even if Warnok wins, it wouldn't be a pickup.

MJW

(Lest I be misunderstood, I of course know that if Warnock wins next Tuesday's runoff, the Dems will hold 51 seats due to the PA pickup.)

Professor Jeffrey Townsend from Yale University, biostatistician, and lead author to a research study evaluating natural and vaccinated immunity against COVID-19, wrote in an email to The Epoch Times that at this stage in the pandemic, rather than comparing the vaccinated against the unvaccinated, it is more helpful to look at an individual’s time since last exposure instead, with exposures meaning vaccinations or infections.

“Most people have had some kind of exposure, the time since last exposure, along with what the last exposure was, dictates the level of immunity and can explain most variation in susceptibility, morbidity, and mortality,” Townsend wrote.
