A place for civil discussion of the events of the day for Tidewater residents without the limitations imposed by media forums.
This is how a party looks as it finally dies.
As an actual bona fide conservative Christian, Michael Gerson, put it the other day . . .
“To be a loyal Republican, one must be either a sucker or a liar. And because this defining falsehood (about the election) is so obviously and laughably false, we can safely assume that most Republican leaders who embrace it fall into the second category. Knowingly repeating a lie — an act of immorality — is now the evidence of Republican fidelity.”
No article, just memory. Back in the 1950s, every summer, mothers used to bring their kids to measles or chicken pox parties to deliberately expose their kids to the diseases at a time when they would not miss school as a result.
There was no vaccine then, and it was regarded as certain that your kid was going to get them sooner or later, so it made sense to control when. It was also believed, especially with mumps, that the younger they got them, the less likely they would be severe.
Once they had them, they were safe from then on.
Note that they did not have Polio parties. Polio killed children,
So, considering how long it will be before the vaccines will reach all children, I wonder if COVID parties for kids of vaccinated parents might not be a good idea this summer before the schools reopen in the fall?
Am I serious? Maybe half way, but it makes more sense than the anti-vaxers.
Apparently watching Fox News is addictive and may require some time at the Betty Ford Clinic.
So ask yourself. Remember, the first step is to admit you have a problem.
“Hi. My name is John.”
“Hello, John.”
“And I am a Fox News Addict.”

Did nature or man create the Covid-19 virus? The writer details both hypotheses.
I believe the virus is man-made.
And we are worried about external enemies doing our grand experiment?
Bloomberg – China greenhouse gas
Still think it’s worth wrecking our economy to set an example for China?
What we do literally makes no difference to the Climate. (BTW, Hunter Biden still has not divested his China holdings.)
This top down analysis of actual versus expected mortality shows – among other things – that the USA death toll is fast approaching 1 million. And ours is one of the more accurate compilers of death statistics.
This short piece is in response to Tucker Carlson (“Tuckums”) suggesting that Child Protective Services be called when children are seen wearing masks and other such bunk.
Economist Alex Tabarrok takes issue with the administration’s diagnosis of Covid vaccine supply shortages. You gotta love the irony. Stumble Joe thinks we can and should spend billions on wind farms and electric vehicle charging stations, but when it comes to vaccine production he won’t spend a penny.
