❝Because LIBERTY demands more than black and white❞
❝Wonder Woman Got It Wrong. Did You?❞
“Wonder Woman 1984 will be hitting theaters (or streaming services) soon. Gal Gadot was fantastic as Diana in 2017’s Wonder Woman, but… she didn’t get her worldview quite right. She had to learn a powerful lesson about how humanity actually works, and it’s time to explain what Wonder Woman got wrong and why it matters to you.It’s tempting to oversimplify both great things and terrible things by assigning responsibility to one important player. Diana was convinced that Ares, the God of War, was the mastermind behind World War I. So, logically, killing Ares meant ending the war.Unfortunately, Diana found out that it just doesn’t work that way. And whether you’re celebrating or blaming Obama, Trump, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden or Jeff Bezos, chances are it’s a lot more complex than that. Understanding that it’s not as straightforward as ‘your guy = good, their guy = evil’ is something Diana had to come to terms with… and she almost got there.”

Biden's team tightens grip on state use of Covid antibody treatments
“The approach is likely to cut into shipments to GOP-led states in the Southeast that have made the pricey antibody drug a central part of their pandemic strategy, while simultaneously spurning mask mandates and other restrictions. That threatens to heighten tensions between the Biden administration and governors like Florida’s Ron DeSantis, who have emerged as vocal opponents of the federal Covid-19 response.”If Government Concern for Your Health was Real (and not Political)...
“Mandates are not for health; they’re for coercion and reinforcement to the idea that government knows best and you should obey. Same concept for lack of formal mask standards. The size, variety, and “seal” evidenced even in clinics beggars credibility. But this is, again, about obeying … and to predispose the population to obey ever-more constrictive rules, regulations, laws, taxes, and penalties down the road for any manner of things government deems “necessary.””‘Science,’ They Said
