CDC: The “experts” have officially shortened the self-quarantine time for asymptomatic cases from ten days to five.

PoliMath (@politicalmath) tweeted, “Every time you see a story about the federal gov’t changing their COVID response in light of the winter surge, you need to ask, ‘Why are they doing this now instead of during the summer/fall surge? I have my theory and it’s not flattering.

“My theory is that basically everyone working the COVID response at the federal level thought that the South deserved their summer surge, that it was entirely b/c they were too dumb to get vaccinated, so it’s fine to let them suffer.”

Also … I never thought about this until Dan Bongino mentioned it, but apparently the summer disease surge in the south is a thing. Like the winter disease surge in the north (which I’ve lived with all my life), it’s about people staying indoors because of the weather. In the south, summer is too hot; in the north, winter is too cold.

FAUCI: CLICK https://twitter.com/ForTheGreater13/status/1475795962006286336 [1:48] to see Saint Anthony explain two pieces of previously censored vaccine science. What on earth will cultists like Nicolle Wallace do now?! CLICK https://rumble.com/vriact-cringeworthy-msnbc-host-nicolle-wallace-calls-herself-a-fauci-groupie.html [:24].

My fave comments: “Dr. Fauci needs to be censored and perhaps blocked for publicly disagreeing with Dr. Fauci on vaccine development, research, and efficacy.”

“Pity you can only see his top half, and not the furious back peddling going on underneath.”

“Fauci is covering his demonic little arse. It doesn’t work. Hello ADE. I feel the rats are jumping ship.” [Note: ADE is Antibody-Dependent Enhancement, which is when a vaccine makes an infection worse. Scientists have been warning from the get go that the ‘rona jabs could cause this.]

FAUXTUS: CLICK https://rumble.com/vriae8-watch-eight-times-joe-biden-promised-to-shut-down-the-virus.html [:36] for a montage of Candidate Joe promising to “SHUT DOWN THE VIRUS.”

And, uh, Joe? That “vaccine” you keep harping on? It was the result of President “No Plan” Trump’s “Operation Warp Speed.”

FLU: N.b., This has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with the fact that the too-sensitive COVID tests don’t distinguish between the flu and the ‘rona. So shut up.

GASLIGHTENMENT: Over the past week, Facebook and Instagram users have been punished for sharing a quote by one of the leading minds behind the American Revolution.

AZQuotes cites the Thomas Paine quotation as appearing in “Citizen Paine: Thomas Paine’s Thoughts on Man, Government, Society, and Religion” (p.123) John P. Kaminski (2002) Rowman & Littlefield.

LGB: I think the man who called Biden on Christmas and said, “Let’s go, Brandon” to him is the kind of guy who does rude stuff because he thinks he’s a laugh-riot prankster. I dislike bad manners and I hate pranks. But whatever. It’s the Left’s outrage that is the story today. After 5 years of spewing spittle and vicious insults over their Donald “LITERALLY HITLER” Trump, none of these people has any moral authority to complain about what LGB guy said to FAUXTUS… least of all “Fang Banger” Eric Swalwell!

TESLA: A man in Finland decided he’d rather blow up his Tesla than pay the exorbitant bill required to replace its battery. Evidently, a $23,000 bill to replace a battery is par for Tesla’s course. Musk has claimed the total battery replacement should cost between $5,000 and $7,000. But FindMyElectric.com found that the real total is in the $20,000 range.

Another investigation found that Tesla’s claims about battery longevity don’t pan out in real life. But battery issues are not the only problems Tesla vehicle users have encountered. Following nearly a dozen crashes that left one person dead and 17 injured, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) opened a formal probe into Tesla’s Autopilot and full self-driving (FSD) systems.

You can see the video at the New York Post link, but it’s more than 8 minutes and in Finnish, with no English subtitles.

WHITE ELEPHANT: Grandma’s reactions are so funny! [:49] – This family did a White Elephant (Yankee Swap or Dirty Santa) theme of “stolen from Grandma’s house.” But rather than go buy the tackiest stuff they could find at the thrift store, they each went and visited Grandma … and secretly swiped something! The video is her reactions to them opening up their loot.

GRAMMY NOTES: I painted this by following along with a free Michele Webber tutorial. I love the way the rose looks like it is raising its arms in joyful adoration. 🙂
