					<description><![CDATA[JUST AS I’VE BEEN THINKING — John Tierney links at Insty

“ THE CLUES LEAD TO A LAB IN WUHAN: Origin of Covid — “Following the Clues. Nicholas Wade, one of the best science journalists in the world, meticulously reviews the structure of the Covid virus and the evidence for the competing theories of its origin. He concludes that ‘proponents of lab escape can explain all the available facts about SARS2 considerably more easily than can those who favor natural emergence.’

‘People round the world who have been pretty much confined to their homes for the last year might like a better answer than their media are giving them. Perhaps one will emerge in time. After all, the more months pass without the natural emergence theory gaining a shred of supporting evidence, the less plausible it may seem. Perhaps the international community of virologists will come to be seen as a false and self-interested guide. The common sense perception that a pandemic breaking out in Wuhan might have something to do with a Wuhan lab cooking up novel viruses of maximal danger in unsafe conditions could eventually displace the ideological insistence that whatever Trump said can’t be true.

‘And then let the reckoning begin.’

COVID was indeed deployed by the CCP as a bio-terror weapon, which — as noted in the Daily Mail one year ago — is an act of war.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[BREAKING NEWS — Tucker Carlson has been exposing Frank Luntz, the GOPee’s official pollster, recently. 

Now we learn why this Google lobbyist may be so influential with the GOPee: Kevin McCarthy, the House minority leader of the GOPee rents his DC home from Luntz. In effect, they are roommates or maybe landlord-tenants.

I’ll report, you decide. This is Uniparty creepy. Details here

					<description><![CDATA[Years ago I was living in Ventura, Calif. The local paper had a story about an incident with a mountain lion in Fillmore, a very small rural town about 30 min. east of Ventura. 

About a year before, a small development was built on the outskirts. Semi-desert environment, much cheaper land than on the coast. 

In that development, a woman&#039;s pet, a full grown husky dog was lounging on her porch. She just happened to look out her living room window as a mountain lion leaped over her porch railing, seized the dog in its jaws and, with the dog firmly in its jaws... easily leaped back over the railing . She watched as it ran off with her dead pet. They&#039;re big, powerful animals. Next to a powerful handgun, rifle or shotgun, bear spray is the least you should have on hand. I call BS on the PC &quot;they were here first!&quot; idiocy.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Shortly after we got our kids a kitten, I heard some hissing at the back door and found him facing down a curious raccoon about 5 times his size.
He was named &quot;Tiger&quot; for his few creamy-brown stripes; pure serendipity, as his attitude wasn&#039;t known at the time.
A few years later, he would jump into the guinea pig&#039;s territory, an open aquarium, and try to get Pig to play, but was rebuffed on pretty much the same terms as he gave the raccoon, with the same size differential.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The mountain lions show up in my neighborhood (on the San Francisco peninsula) fairly regularly.  They live in the nearby hills and new generations are pushed out to seek new habitat.  There are a lot of &quot;Ring&quot; type videos showing them strolling around at night in peoples&#039; driveways.  They are normally nocturnal animals. and there are certainly sufficient numbers of deer in the area so they should not be looking for more food, but there have been some very scary and sometimes fatal daytime encounters.  I always have bear spray with me when I&#039;m biking, just in case.]]></description>
