The tulips rise from below the fold today and ‘life is renewed’ over the next few weeks in the country's oldest public botanical garden, Bo$ton city officials say and what stinks (and what truly is a wonder drug) is today's admission that the death rates from the fictional COVID that has never been isolated (it was seasonal cold and flu all along, folks, sorry) were wildly inflated before turning that on its head and them saying a change in methodology — to align the state with national standards — pegs the death rate at 1 in 7 residents instead of 1 in 4, while some critics and researchers are puzzling over the state’s new approach, which they say may underestimate the true death rate (never mind that the entire crisis is based on a faulty test that is continually cited by the media as being valid when even the inventor of the test, Dr. Kerry Mullis, said it should not be used for diagnosis or to detect infectiousness. He conveniently died in August 2019, three months before Event 201, which was three months before the arrival of COVID. What a coincidence, huh?)
I suppose they have to say that because when you flip above the fold you find the FDA taking the pause of the J&J killers and will place a warning label on the thing, while the criminal monster at the CDC is encouraging pregnant women to get the sterilizing blood-clotting and flushing gene therapy, 'er, vaccine on page B3.
It's too late for the basketball star who was one of their own while claiming an an unvaccinated health care worker set off a Covid-19 outbreak at a nursing home in Kentucky where the vast majority of residents had been vaccinated, leading to dozens of infections, including 22 cases among residents and employees who were already fully vaccinated.
It turns out that 60% of the case outbreaks now are coming from those who have been fully vaccinated, if you believe official dogma anyway as the program of mass murder and genocide continues to be promoted by criminal government and pre$$ while being whitewashed by $ocial media.

"Biden recommits US to climate innovation efforts" by Lisa Friedman and Coral Davenport New York Times, April 23, 2021
President Biden announced Friday that the United States would revive its participation in an initiative among dozens of nations and investors to increase government budgets for renewable energy research, development, and deployment.
The program, Mission Innovation, was spearheaded by former president Barack Obama and Bill Gates, in parallel with the Paris Agreement on climate change, in 2015. When former president Donald Trump abandoned the climate accord and sought to roll back most funding for renewable energy in the United States, Mission Innovation faded from view.
(sigh)
Biden, speaking on the second day of a virtual summit he convened to galvanize world leaders to do more to tackle climate change, said the challenges and opportunities of reducing planet-warming emissions would be met by “working people” in all countries.
By bearing the burden of this dy$topian in$anity.
Of course, they plan for a 90% culling so of what concern is it of theirs?
That is why they are setting all this up after the planet has been "cleansed."
Those are the kind of sick, pathologically psychopathic people that a running this thing -- as opposed to the heroic saints who have destroyed their careers to raise the alarm and how much longer will honest and ethical scientists and doctors remain silent about the mass murders and genocide being carried out under the deceit of fighting "COVID."
“As we transition to a clean energy future, we must ensure workers who have thrived in yesterday’s and today’s industries have as bright a tomorrow in the new industries as well as in the places where they live,” the president said.
Gates, a philanthropist and Microsoft cofounder, on Friday also called for huge new public and private investment in innovation to meet Biden’s goals and global targets for avoiding catastrophic climate change. “Just using today’s technologies won’t allow us to meet our ambitious goals,” Gates said via video.
That f**ker can burn in hell for all I care, along with his mark of the beast and fear-mongering hatred of humanity. Sick a$$hole.
After Biden kicked off the first day of his climate change summit by declaring that the United States would cut its global warming emissions at least in half by the end of the decade, day two of the virtual gathering on Friday focused on how the United States and other nations could meet their targets and ramp up renewable energy development.
Achieving the US goals would take a substantial overhaul of current domestic policies, according to energy experts, who say that the country would need to virtually eliminate its use of coal for electricity and replace millions of gasoline-powered cars with electric vehicles.
Then what will power the electric vehicles?
You see, reader?
The plans make perfect sense if the genocide (just calling it what it is, right?) I proposed above is the actual plan; otherwise, this makes no sense at all and is further proof something more nefarious is afoot (Gates owning half the farmland is another as they plan to eliminate beef from the diet and feed the survivors gruel).
Jennifer Granholm, the energy secretary, called the US plan to tackle climate change “our generation’s moonshot.” Speaking during a session on the development of renewable energy, she said the Biden administration was aiming to cut battery cell prices and the price of solar in half while reducing by 80 percent the cost of hydrogen energy, which would reduce dependency on natural gas, all by the end of the decade.
How odd because it turns out the moon landing was another huge hoax, just like COVID.
Of course, now we have the Martian lunacy which is only a Stone's throw away.
“We need a mindset that overcomes resistance to change,” Granholm said. “Many are stuck on the status quo, and maybe they are insistent that we can’t reach our goals,” but Fatih Birol, executive director of the International Energy Agency, warned Friday that countries setting ambitious new goals for cutting planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions were still producing too much climate pollution.
Do these people even hear themselves?
Go have another drink, Jenn!
“Right now, the data does not match the rhetoric, and the gap is getting wider,” Birol said. “We are not recovering from COVID in a sustainable way, and we remain on a path of dangerous levels of global warming,” Birol said, yet there were some moves away from coal. On Friday, Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel, announced that his country would end the use of coal domestically. On Thursday, South Korea said that it would stop overseas financing for coal development, and China vowed to “strictly limit” coal as it aims to peak emissions by 2030.
You can saw that again regarding the data and rhetoric in my pre$$!
Other speakers on Friday included Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, whose agency will be critical in pushing through efforts by the executive branch to get the nation closer to the president’s bench marks. Buttigieg highlighted his agency’s plans to bolster electric vehicles and create jobs as the transportation sector moves away from fossil fuels, although he did not mention plans to reinstate tough fuel-economy standards on passenger vehicles, the nation’s largest source of greenhouse pollution.
Where will the electricity for the cars come from if oil, gas, and coal are out?
Windmills and solar?
Only works if most of the planet vanishes in some sort of rapture!
Now roll up that sleeve!
Biden is pushing his Cabinet to implement other climate change policies, including rules limiting fossil fuel extraction on public lands and new financial regulations intended to curb investment in heavily polluting industries, but even factoring in all those efforts, much of Biden’s promise to halve the country’s emissions remains wrapped up in the infrastructure plan, which includes the money and the policies to draw down carbon pollution, but has not yet been translated into legislation, much less found support from a divided Congress.
Gatekeeper Manchin is urging him to focus on ‘conventional’ infrastructure as Biden jets off to Europe!!
I gue$$ his $pew don't $tink, 'eh?
Of, hypocrisy by Democrats is nothing new.
The laws are for thee, not for me!
“This is a moral imperative, an economic imperative,” Biden said Thursday. “A moment of peril, but also a moment of extraordinary possibilities.”
Yeah, I saw that.
The planned famine comes next, of course, just like in Russia so get used to the hunger that will put his life at risk.

Travis Sarreshteh, 32, was arrested after the Thursday night shooting and was taken to a hospital for injuries after being tackled by two bystanders before police used a Taser to subdue him, said police Chief David Nisleit. The suspect fired a self-made, unregistered ‘ghost gun.’ The attack was “an unprovoked and isolated incident,” Nisleit said. The suspect is a San Diego resident with a criminal record and was not speaking to investigators, Nisleit said, declining to elaborate. He was being held on suspicion of murder and four counts of attempted murder. The gunfire erupted around 10:30 p.m. in the busy Gaslamp Quarter, a downtown nightlife district. Nisleit said there would be an increased police presence in the area in coming weeks....."

See ya' in court:
"Senate committee to take up Biden judicial nominees in preview of potential Supreme Court fight" by
Ann E. Marimow and Paul Kane, Washington Post, April 23, 2021
The Senate Judiciary Committee will take its first look next week at President Biden’s initial batch of judicial nominees in what could serve as a preview of the next battle over the Supreme Court, with many Democrats hoping to soon have a vacancy on the high court that can be filled by a young, liberal justice.
Democratic lawmakers are moving quickly to review Biden’s nominees to take advantage of their slim majority in the Senate and begin to remake the courts with judges from diverse personal and professional backgrounds. All five nominees under consideration next Wednesday are people of color. In contrast, President Donald Trump’s picks were mostly White men.
Why was the white capitalized this time, and no white men need apply under Biden, huh?
WOW!
The hearing featuring Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, who is up for the influential U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, could be a preview of what she would face if she is eventually nominated for a potential vacancy on the Supreme Court.
Many senators are keeping an eye across the street, awaiting word whether Justice Stephen G. Breyer, 82, will step down. Democrats have not overtly pressured the court’s oldest justice to retire, but privately they are hopeful he will step aside for a younger liberal while the party retains a majority — one that could disappear in the 2022 midterms or through an untimely illness that relegates them to minority status.
“Justice Breyer has been a great justice and he recognizes, I am sure, the political reality of our having control of the Senate now, but elections always have risks, so hopefully he’s aware of that risk and he sees it accordingly,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), a Judiciary Committee member, said in an interview this week.
Time to get out of the tent, Steve, says Danang Dick.
That's how Democrats roll. Despite the years of loyal service, when you are no longer of use they cut you loose.
As for the elections, after 2020 and the theft from an incumbent president who won in a landslide and the the stealing of the Senate, what makes anyone think Repuglicans ever win another election?
While discussions have been muted, Blumenthal said the president and Senate Democrats need to be ready to move as swiftly as Republicans did to fill openings at all levels of the judiciary. Trump, working with then Senate leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), installed more than 200 judges, including three Supreme Court justices.
Republicans are also aware that next week’s hearing has implications for a possible upcoming Supreme Court fight, noting the importance of the D.C. Circuit when it comes to reviewing government policies and as a steppingstone to the high court. One-third of the current justices previously served on the appeals court bench in Washington.
“I don’t think it should be treated any differently than any other circuit court, but I’d say that I’m mindful of the fact that it is, historically, a proving ground, if you’d like, for Supreme Court nominees,” said Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), who sits on the Judiciary Committee. “It’s certainly more, I think, than any other one circuit . . . so I would approach it with that in mind.”
He's the one good Republican in the whole place and is being pilloried for it.
The slate of nominees scheduled to appear before senators next week reflects Biden’s promise to emphasize diversity and a wide range of professional experience when picking judges.
Among the five nominees before the committee next week are two former public defenders, two former prosecutors and a county attorney and administrator. Much of the attention at the hearing, however, is expected to center on Jackson, a former Breyer law clerk and public defender who was also an Obama nominee on the U.S. Sentencing Commission.
Jackson, 50, was unanimously confirmed by the Senate in 2013 to the District Court after her nomination by Obama.
If confirmed to the D.C. Circuit, Jackson would succeed Attorney General Merrick Garland, who served on the appeals court for 24 years.....
Clinton hack Brian Fallon, co-founder of the liberal interest group Demand Justice, goes on to say that Jackson’s hearing will be used by both sides as a warm-up for a possible Supreme Court vacancy and predicted a narrow confirmation vote, as most Republicans, he said, would not want to back Jackson and then potentially have Biden tout their support in the coming months if he tries to elevate her to the high court, while liberal activists have been urgently vocal in their call for Breyer to retire while Democrats control the White House and the Senate.
It's almost as if they know they are wildly unpopular and illegitimate.

"An extensive effort to recount ballots from the November election moved forward in Phoenix on Friday as a private vendor hired by Republicans in the Arizona Senate began reviewing nearly 2.1 million ballots cast in the state’s largest county. The recount of the ballots from Maricopa County was sought by Senate Republicans to examine unsubstantiated claims that fraud or errors tainted President Biden’s win. Election officials and the courts have found no merit to such allegations, and the GOP-led county board of supervisors has objected to the recount. After state Democrats filed a lawsuit this week to halt the proceedings, an Arizona judge on Friday ordered that the recount be paused for the weekend to consider their allegations that the process violates state laws governing the security of ballots; however, he required that the Democratic Party post a $1 million bond to cover the potential costs of a delay. On Friday afternoon, the state party said it would not put up the money, meaning the recount is on track to press ahead......"
Two things: 1) why would Democrats want to halt the proceedings if they are so into transparency, and 2) I doubt it will flip the state like it should and the decision will be used to further validate the illegitimate regime.
The truth is the USSC failed the country when it refused to examine election fraud, and has been relegated to the back benches ever since as a rubber-stamp branch that decides nothing really important.
Action must be taken at the state and local level:
"Caitlyn Jenner, the Republican former Olympian and prominent transgender activist, announced on Friday that she would challenge Gov. Gavin Newsom of California in this year’s recall election. Jenner, whose candidacy represents one of the most prominent bids for public office by an openly transgender person in the United States, said she had filed initial paperwork to run. A recall election is all but certain in California, where Newsom, a Democrat, has come under attack for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic. Republicans and backers of the recall effort have focused in particular on his leadership of the state’s economy. Officially, it is still uncertain if and when a recall vote will happen, but organizers have said for months that they have exceeded the 1.5 million signatures needed to trigger such an election. It would most likely be held this fall. In many ways, the effort is the work of Republicans struggling to maintain relevance in the overwhelmingly Democratic state, and Jenner faces a steep uphill battle: A recent poll from the Public Policy Institute of California found that just 40 percent of voters in the state supported a recall and more than half approved of Newsom’s performance. Celebrities running for office is nothing new in California, where voters elected Ronald Reagan and Arnold Schwarzenegger, the latter in a special recall election in 2003 that ousted Gov. Gray Davis, but Jenner is a political unknown in the state, where it is notoriously expensive to campaign for statewide office. Despite criticism of Newsom, no other Democrat has entered the race, and elected Democrats have repeatedly pledged to stick by Newsom, helping to shore up his support among Latino, Asian and Black voters in particular. Jenner, whose candidacy was earlier reported by Axios, chose to run after meeting with several advisers who also worked for former President Donald J. Trump, which could complicate her chances in California. Democrats have repeatedly painted the recall effort as a plan supported largely by far-right extremists. Jenner supported Mr. Trump early on when he ran for president, but withdrew her support in 2018 after his administration repeatedly attacked transgender rights....."
That's some choice, but the truth is Trump actually won California were it not for the vote fraud according to the results that were up in Germany before the voting $y$tems went haywire and it makes perfect sense. The tyranny under which Californians have been made to live under this past year has destroyed the state and turned it into a literal $hithole.

Meanwhile, I'm told most Americans support greater scrutiny of the police as discrimination concerns persist, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll as the Globe stabs at us with this collection of items:
"French prosecutors opened a terrorism investigation into the fatal stabbing Friday of a police official inside a police station near the historic Rambouillet chateau outside Paris. Police shot and killed the attacker at the scene, authorities said. A French judicial official said the suspect was born in Tunisia and that witnesses heard him say “Allahu akbar,” Arabic for “God is great,” during the attack. The attack took place southwest of Paris just inside the police station in a quiet residential area of the town of Rambouillet. Security cordons ringed the area after the stabbing. Masked police employees clustered outside the station, while uniformed officers in bulletproof vests stood watch around the neighborhood......"
Have you ever noticed that every time Macron is in trouble a "terror" attack occurs?
Just read the writing on the wall:
"The Scripps National Spelling Bee is undergoing a major overhaul to ensure it can identify a single champion, adding vocabulary questions and a lightning-round tiebreaker to this year’s pandemic-altered competition. The 96-year-old bee has in the past included vocabulary on written tests but never in the high-stakes oral competition rounds, where one mistake eliminates a speller. The only previous tiebreaker to determine a single champion was a short-lived extra written test that never turned out to be needed. The changes, announced this week, amount to a new direction for the bee under executive director J. Michael Durnil, who started in the job earlier this year. Both new elements, however, also signal a departure from what for many observers is the core appeal of the bee: watching schoolchildren who have such mastery of roots and language patterns that they can figure out how to spell the trickiest words in the dictionary, even if they’ve never heard them before. The 2020 bee was canceled because of the pandemic, the first time since World War II that the bee wasn’t on the calendar. This year’s event will be mostly virtual, and the in-person finals on July 8 have been moved from the bee’s longtime home in the Washington area to an ESPN campus in Florida. The bee had co-champions from 2014-16, and the 2019 bee ended in an eight-way tie after organizers ran out of words difficult enough to challenge the top spellers....."
The kids will have to wear mask when they fly there:
"When the Transportation Security Administration announced in January that it would require people to wear a mask at airports and on planes, trains, and other forms of public transportation, the announcement included a sunset date: May 11. With that deadline rapidly approaching and the pandemic still not under control, airline industry leaders are urging the agency to continue enforcing mask rules in the air and on the ground. The TSA’s announcement was tied to an executive order by President Biden and an emergency order from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The TSA is not saying what it will do......"
Senator Roger Wicker, Republican of Mississippi, said during the hearing that “someday the mask requirement needs to end,” and my only question is why when the ruling cla$$ and their minions intend for us to wear the sign of slave submission forever!
After all, Robert Wachter, chair of the department of medicine at the University of California at San Francisco and guest host of the podcast “In the Bubble,” says when passengers are allowed to take their masks off for meal services, his comfort with air travel goes away because “[planes] turn into a flying restaurant and the dynamics of spread become very different,” saying he “would not eat at an indoor restaurant at this point, even being fully vaccinated, and so the time during which the plane is, in fact, an indoor restaurant is a time when it is somewhat less safe,” and a recent study released by the CDC supports Wachter’s concerns as being on packed planes with maskless passengers does increase your risk of coronavirus exposure, despite the plane’s ventilation system (he must not have seen the a Defense Department study of the risk of catching the coronavirus on a packed commercial flight concluded that a person would have to be sitting next to an infectious passenger for at least 54 hours to receive a dangerous dose of the virus through the air).

I am then told India is now on fire as as coronavirus cases surge to a record level:
"India’s rapidly worsening coronavirus outbreak is now expanding on a scale beyond any previously measured in more than a year of the pandemic: The health ministry reported more than 310,000 new infections on Thursday, the most recorded in any country on a single day. Over the past two months, the outbreak in India has exploded, with reports of superspreader gatherings, oxygen shortages and ambulances lined up outside hospitals because there were no ventilators for new patients. As cases worldwide reach weekly records, a substantial proportion of the new infections are coming in India, a sobering reminder that the pandemic is far from over, even as infections decline and vaccinations speed ahead in the United States and other wealthy parts of the world. India has surpassed 15.6 million total reported infections so far, second-most after the United States. The death toll has also begun to climb precipitously. On Thursday, the Indian government recorded 2,104 deaths, and an average of more than 1,600 people have died of the virus every day for the past week. That is less than the tolls at the worst points of the pandemic in the United States or Brazil, but it is a steep increase from just two months ago, when fewer than 100 people in India were dying daily. There are signs that the country’s health system, patchy even before the pandemic, is collapsing under the strain. The picture is staggeringly different from early February, when India was recording an average of just 11,000 cases a day, and domestic drug companies were pumping out millions of vaccine doses. More than 132 million Indians have received at least one dose, but supplies are running low and experts warn that the country is unlikely to meet its goal of inoculating 300 million people by the summer. Critics say Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who imposed a harsh nationwide lockdown in March 2020 in the early stages of the pandemic, failed to prepare for a second wave or to warn Indians to remain vigilant against the virus, especially as more infectious variants began to spread. Modi’s Hindu nationalist government has also allowed a massive Hindu festival to take place, drawing millions of pilgrims to the banks of the Ganges River, and his party has held packed political rallies in several states...."
They then had this thrown at them:
"Singapore said it will further tighten border controls with India, including a ban on visitors from the country, because of a “rapidly deteriorating situation” there. Authorities are also stepping up measures to prevent a wider outbreak within Singapore, officials said at a press conference on Thursday. The worsening pandemic in India has prompted travel restrictions in several countries. Australia will cut flights from India to reduce Covid risk, Indian news channel NDTV said in a tweet. The U.K. added India to its travel ban list April 20, and earlier this month New Zealand temporarily suspended arrivals of its citizens and residents from India. Hong Kong banned flights from India, Pakistan and the Philippines for 14 days starting April 20, while Macau has extended the quarantine requirement for travelers from those three countries to 28 days....."
Really stuck in a sling, aren't they?
You know, when the titles of the posts are repetitive maybe it is time to stop.
Meanwhile, in the U.S. the plan is a miserable failure:
"Daily coronavirus vaccinations have slowed significantly for the first time since February, a sign that demand is slipping even though every American adult is now eligible for the shots. About 3 million Americans are getting vaccinated daily, an 11 percent decrease in the seven-day average of daily shots administered over the past week. The unprecedented drop is rivaled only by a brief falloff that occurred in February, when winter storms forced the closure of vaccination sites and delayed shipments nationwide. The downturn hits as half of all eligible Americans have received at least one vaccine dose, and it coincides with the pause last week of the single-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which is under review by a panel of experts following a handful of cases of severe blood clotting....."
The f**ker says it is your “patriotic duty to get vaccinated” as state health officials, business leaders, policymakers and politicians are struggling to figure out how to tailor their messages, and their tactics, to persuade not only the vaccine hesitant but also the indifferent.
Why they want to shoot you up with something that you don't need is something for you to consider, and it appears most are:
"Some county health departments that couldn’t keep up with vaccine demand a month ago have now started closing some of their mass vaccination sites for lack of customers, and some counties are declining vaccine shipments. Now that more than half of adults in the United States have received at least one Covid-19 vaccine dose and the country has surpassed 200 million administered doses, demand for shots appears to be slowing in many areas. White House and health officials are comparing the next phase of the vaccination campaign to a get-out-the-vote effort. Officials in many states are looking beyond mass vaccination sites and focusing on having patients vaccinated at their doctors’ offices, where they are more at ease — a shift that will require the Biden administration to ship vaccines in much smaller quantities. The seven-day average of vaccinations has declined somewhat in recent days, to 2.86 million doses a day as of Friday, from a high point of 3.38 million last week, according to a New York Times analysis of data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. At a news conference on Friday, Jeffrey D. Zients, the White House’s Covid-19 response coordinator, acknowledged that the pace of vaccinations nationally would ebb. “We expect daily vaccination rates will moderate and fluctuate. We’ve gotten vaccinations to the most at risk and those most eager to get vaccinated as quickly as possible,” he said, “and we will continue those efforts, but we know reaching other populations will take time and focus.” Zients said two new federally run vaccination sites would open Friday in Kentucky, with a combined capacity of 7,000 shots each week. Even with persistent vaccine hesitancy, the reasons for the dip in vaccination rates are still not entirely clear. Injections of Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine were halted last week as federal health officials investigated a potential rare side effect, and this may have had some effect on daily tallies, with millions of doses now sitting on shelves and yet to be allocated. The drop in interest has been especially acute in some regions of the country, with significant declines in the South....."
Ya think?
What is with the focus on Kentucky lately, and why am I getting the feeling we are on the cusp of vista in this attack on humanity because what is emerging is an unequal landscape in which some places have more supply than demand and others have more demand than supply -- like in Galveston County, Texas, where a mass drive-through clinic at a county park won’t operate after May 1 but demand for appointments has dampened in the last three weeks, according to the county’s chief public health officer, Dr. Philip Keiser, who says “we got about 50 percent of our people vaccinated and we recognize that next 25 percent is going to be a lot harder than the first.”

"For weeks, Illinois has been beset by a stubbornly high daily load of reported coronavirus cases, leading to climbing hospitalizations and deaths, but new data is signaling that the virus might be on the verge of retreat. Illinois is reporting an average of about 2,900 new cases a day, down nearly 13 percent from a week ago. Central Illinois, which saw major growth in cases earlier this month, is now improving, according to a New York Times database — especially in Peoria, one of the metropolitan areas where the virus had been spreading the fastest. llinois’s latest surge in cases followed the rising trends in other Midwest states like Michigan and Minnesota beginning in late February and March. The situation grew particularly worrisome in Michigan, which continues to lead the nation in cases per 100,000 per people, but has seen a 15 percent decline over the past two weeks....."
Something is in retreat, all right, although there are other pockets of the state, especially those with low vaccine rates, that remain ripe for “a fiery outbreak” even as the recent surge may be burning itself out but it is too early to say whether the recent decline in new case reports was a “true inflection point” because “the virus does what the virus does. Let it hang around long enough, it will start mutating.”
Of course, with each mutation it gets weaker.
That's science!
Meanwhile, in New York, you can walk in for shots at scores of sites after coronavirus conquered the world’s highest mountain and Japan declared a third state of emergency because ongoing semi-emergency measures have failed and tougher steps are urgently needed (the prime minister “sincerely apologizes for causing trouble for many people again,” but he is alarmed by the fast-spreading new variant of the virus as inoculations fall behind schedule!

"The police officer who fatally shot a man during a lengthy standoff was identified Friday as Paul Cyr, according to a department spokesperson. Cyr is a 20-year veteran of the department assigned to the training division, Lieutenant Sean Murtha said in an e-mail Friday. Cyr was placed on administrative leave, according to department protocol. The man killed was identified as 31-year-old Phet Gouvonvong, who called 911 to say that he had a rifle and a bomb that “could and may detonate,” officials said. Police negotiators and a SWAT team set up a perimeter around Gouvonvong’s home on Grafton Street. Negotiators began a lengthy effort to deescalate the situation, but Gouvonvong “appeared to get more and more agitated [and] was making furtive movements,” Worcester District Attorney Joseph Early said at a press briefing. Shortly after midnight, an officer shot Gouvonvong “as a result of those furtive movements,” Early said. He was pronounced dead at the scene."
That's odd because the article from the other day left the impression that he was killed near a Cumberland Farms.

Why would there be any charges forthcoming when they did nothing wrong?
Will they apologize for the slander like Moriarty?
"In his apology on Friday, State education board member Michael Moriarty, who was appointed to the board in 2015 by Governor Charlie Baker, said he “made a comment regarding the value of MCAS and the school accountability system, which I regret was insulting, and for that I sincerely apologize.” When he spoke about districts that seem unable to change themselves, Moriarty said he “was referring to school districts, not people in those communities.” “I never meant to disparage people who live in Holyoke and Lawrence,” he said. “I apologize for giving that impression. I will strive to communicate much better going forward.”
All part of history now, and way back in 1980, the United States launched an unsuccessful attempt to free the American hostages in Iran, a mission that resulted in the deaths of eight US servicemen and effectively ended the Carter presidency and resulted in a landslide for Ronald Reagan in 1980.

At this point in the paper, I was getting the feeling that we are winning the war in the fight for humanity if you read between the lines of this Globe; however, I turned the page and then realized they are only toying with us:
"More than half a million new businesses opened in the U.S. in the midst of the pandemic, with data from Yelp Inc. showing the highest levels in a year last quarter as Covid-19 vaccinations ramped up and activity restrictions eased. Business openings from April 1, 2020, to March this year -- including 69,000 new restaurants and food businesses -- were down only 11% compared with the same period a year earlier, according to Yelp, a provider of local search and online consumer reviews.

"Stocks closed out a choppy week of trading with a broad rally, though the gains were not enough to keep the S&P 500 from its first weekly loss in the last five. The gains were shared broadly by nearly every sector in the index. Technology companies accounted for a big slice of the rally, along with banks, communication stocks and companies that rely on consumer spending. The utilities and consumer staples sectors closed slightly lower. Treasury yields inched higher. Traders focused on company earnings from big names like Intel, American Express and Honeywell. Shares in Kimberly-Clark, the maker of Huggies diapers and other consumer products, fell by the most since last October after the company reported disappointing results. Corporate earnings have been mostly positive, but investors are weighing economic growth against threats from the pandemic and worries about changes in tax policy......"
They don't like Biden's tax plan because “earnings are very good,” but it's too late now!
