If it is paywalled for you, I apologize. But it is worth the money to sign up for digital access to read and HEAR whaat some of our fellow citizens are saying and thinking.

For those of you who poo-pooed the insurrection as just another protest; this coverage puts the big lie to your thoughts.

For an interview on CNN with the writer of this piece, here is the link: https://www.cnn.com/videos/media/2021/01/27/qanon-chat-room-nyt-reporter-newday-vpx.cnn

OK, when are Americans going to wake up and realize who the real “enemies of the people are”? In my opinion, these extreme right views and their enablers are creating a major issue for our nation. Guantanamo might not be just for Islamic terrorists. Greene should be expelled from Congress if there is any spine among the GOP.

Not sure if this can go well. While the premise is good, all it takes is one idiot who thinks his tweet is legit and it gets “watched” to go in search of the particular birdwatcher. I can see Carlson, Hannity et al, having a filed day with this.

Biden drops the promise that elected him

Now he says there’s nothing to be done to change the trajectory of the virus.

Dept of Health registration

The link Len provided to the Dept of Health classification and registration system now ends by simply informing you of what phase you fall in. You can no longer sign up to be notified of when you can make an appointment.

What that means I do not know, perhaps they have finally realized their plan was totally unworkable and they are about to switch to a North Carolina type plan of mass clinics based on age.

Or they have another stupid plan to replace it. We will see.
