BEAGLES!

Nature 10 Minutes

From the Mrs Doggie website, here are interesting facts to know more about Beagles and why they are one of the most beloved dog breeds:

Beagles are small, but they are Big!

It doesn’t sound very clear, but yes. Beagles are generally under the small dog category, but they have two different sizes. To classify a pure Beagle breed, it must fall under the height limits. Some stand under 13 inches. Thus, they are considerably smaller than other breeds. However, some Beagles are slightly bigger but are short of 15 inches tall. In the US, dogs that go beyond this limit will be under another classification. On the other hand, there is another size classification implemented in the UK. In this part of the world, Beagles can be as tall as 16 inches. It is a 3-inch difference from the standard set for this breed in the US.

The Beagle Ear and Nose Tandem

The ears and the nose have different functions, though they are in the same system in the body. For Beagles, these two areas function uniquely together. The breed standard requires that the tip of the Beagle’s ears reach the tip of their nose when drawn out. It seems like the norm because Beagle ears are large and long. And it is supposed to help these dogs keep up with the scent that they are following. How? Well, according to experts, Beagle ears catch and keep the scent particles close to the dog’s nose. Thus, this dog can take as much scent information as possible. These physical attributes make Beagles excellent hunting and detection dogs.  They are one of the few dog breeds and scent hound dogs that use the nose and ear combo.

Great Vocalization Abilities

If you love peace and quiet, Beagles might not be your ideal home buddy. They are not known for being quiet. The word “beagle” comes from “begueule,” a French word meaning gaped throat! You can expect Beagles to be loud as they take mouthing-off to the next level in this unique canine behavior. But why are they so noisy and loud? Beagles have this unique skill, and they can vocalize in three ways. These dogs can bark the regular bark, they can howl, and the bay. A bark and howl are two common noises dogs make, but not many have heard bays before. A beagle’s bay is like yodeling. These dogs bay when they are hunting. But they also bay when they are stubborn, agitated, or just playful. This popular breed will try to use all these three types of vocalization to get its owner’s attention. Thus, it’s not uncommon to hear singing beagles if you have a house full of them.

Beagles are Career-Oriented

If there are multi-talented dogs, Beagles will be on top of the list. These dogs will be one of the wealthiest canines if they ever get paid for their jobs. They are often hired as working dogs, rescue dogs and handles airport inspection tasks. They are also members of mountain rescue teams. In the US, Beagles work for Homeland Security and make up the famous Beagle Brigade. They search luggage for smuggled food items. These dogs worked with the likes of German Shepherd and other dogs. And, did you know that Beagles also work as bedbug detectors? These pests are difficult to see and get rid of. Amazingly, some dogs, including Beagles, can easily detect bedbugs. They can find where these pests are and stop an infestation before it happens.

Beagles Lived in the White House

There are US Presidents who love dogs of different breeds. Among those canines that lived in the White House are Beagles. President Lyndon B. Johnson loved the breed and brought two beagles to live with him in the White House. He had three pets named Him, Her, and Edgar. No one knew the reason why President Johnson called his Beagles with such silly names. But the one named Edgar was a gift from FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover. The Beagle named Him had a litter of puppies. Two of them were kept by the President’s daughter. They were called Freckles and Kim. The former lived out the rest of its days in the White House even after its owner had left.

Early Beagles are Called Pocket Beagles

Beagles are classified as small dogs, but there was a point when they were so much smaller than the modern Beagle. In the 14th and 15th centuries, they call these dogs “Pocket Beagles” or “glove beagles” because of their tiny size. During this time, the maximum height of the standard pocket Beagle is only 8 to 9 inches tall at the shoulders. Over time, the breed slowly evolved and changed for various reasons. The original tiny pocket Beagles no longer exists because they have sized up. Breeders also made Beagles bigger to enhance hunting skills. They become larger until the pocket Beagles are no more.

Purebred Beagles Have White Tipped Tail

A true-blue or pure Beagle has one trait that sets it apart from its close look-a-likes and other Beagle type dogs, the white-tipped tail. To the untrained eye, Beagles can quickly look like the smaller Foxhounds or, the larger Coonhounds. They have the same coat with patches of brown, black, or white. But for breeders and Beagle enthusiasts, a true Beagle’s tail is white at the tip, even if it’s just a few white hairs at the point. This trait is more than just a physical appearance of a quality breed. This physical trait makes these hunting dogs easier to track while rabbit hunting. Their white-tipped tail is easy to stop through the woods, brush, or tall weeds.

Pregnancy Detecting Beagle

You might have heard about dogs trained to detect bombs, drugs, and other illegal items. But this particular Beagle has a unique talent that made him a permanent resident of Denver Zoo. Elvis the Beagle’s main task is to detect if the Zoo’s polar bear is pregnant or not. Elvis is trained to identify the polar bear’s condition by giving him a sample of its poop! The famous Beagle will sniff and indicate a favorable position when the polar bear is pregnant and not just having pseudo-pregnancy symptoms. Having a skilled detector like Elvis was a tremendous help because the zookeepers cannot easily detect the pregnancy by looking at the polar bears. Amazingly, Elvis is 97 percent accurate in identifying the polar bear pregnancy at this Zoo!

Beagles are Prolific Hunters

Many dog breeds work as ideal hunting companions. Some are retrievers, springers, gun dogs, and hounds. Beagles have very sensitive noses, and they work as efficient scent hounds. They accompany hunting parties and hunt through scents rather than sight. These skills were inherited from the Southern Hound and the Talbot hound. They have incredible stamina, which makes them prolific in hunting rabbits and hares. Their hunting skills have impressed breeders and hunters. Breeders considered the Southern Hound characteristic and agility over the Talbot hound. Thus, when fox hunting became popular, they started breeding Beagles with Buckhounds, and the outcome was the Foxhounds. Modern-day Beagles may not work as hunting dogs anymore, but they still have the same skills and instincts.

 A Pop Culture Icon

The Beagle’s adorable good looks, friendly personality, and outstanding skills have also earned it a spot in Pop Culture history. They are well-loved characters from cartoons and movies. These lovable dogs have inspired artists, politicians, and movie directors to include them in their works. One of the most famous pop culture Beagle characters is Snoopy from the comic strip Peanuts. He has been well-loved from then until now. Schulz found inspiration from a Beagle he grew up with. Initially, he named the character Sniffy. But he soon changed the name to Snoopy as suggested by his mother. In real life, Snoopy is an AKC registered Beagle!

Another popular Beagle character that we all will recognize is Odie from Garfield. Odie showcases the generally healthy and hale characteristics of the Beagles. He had a funny love-hate relationship with the main character, Garfield, the cat.

Beagles are Houdinis of the Canine World

As expert hunters, Beagles are used to running around all day through. They have very high energy levels. Aside from that, they are also brilliant in solving problems or overcoming hurdles that keep them from tracking the scent. Thus, it can be a problem if you leave them alone in a yard for some time. They are bound to use their escaping talents and seek out entertainment elsewhere. Moreso, the Beagles are impressive jumpers. They can spring over obstacles or dig their way out to freedom!

Beagles are English Dogs

Despite being one of America’s all-time favorite dog breeds, Beagles originated from England. Therefore, they are English dogs. These dogs were first imported to America in the 19th century by General Richard Rowett. There were beagle-like hound dogs in the US during this period. But Beagles imported by General Rowett were far superior in quality. They are carefully selected for hunting and soon became the standard breed in the US. In 1884, the American Kennel Club officially recognized the Beagles as a distinct hound dog breed. Soon after that, other kennel club followed and recognition of the modern breed ensued.

Beagles Need to Feel That They Are Part of A Pack

The Beagle’s hunting instincts urge them to be a part of a Beagle pack. They are highly social canines and have hunted or tracked together to find a common goal. Beagles are pack animals and it means that your pet will get along well with other dogs and prefer a canine companion. On the other hand, this behavior may lead to some anxious tendencies in your Beagle when you leave them alone. They may not take too kindly when left alone for long periods. Some may start having destructive tendencies in their effort to escape from the house.

Popular Beagle Fans

The popularity of the Beagles did not escape the likes of celebrities, politicians, and royalty. Queen Elizabeth I and King James I of England are great Beagles fans. Dr. Phil McGraw, the Television celebrity, is also a confessed Beagle fan. And of course, the singer-songwriter Barry Manilow had two famous Beagles named Biscuit and Bagel. His Beagle Bagel fan club raises money for various charities. In 1970, one of his pets was featured on this album cover.

The “Goldilocks” Dogs

Beagles are unique in looks, talents, and personality. They have been described as the Goldilocks of dogs because they are neither too timid nor aggressive. They are also friendly but not fawning, and energetic, but do not require lots of exercise. The Beagle personality is what makes them popular dog breeds among families and kids. They are generally healthy dog that loves having fun and being around children. More so, they are even-tempered, funny, and friendly. These dogs are happily sniffing around and eating!

On the other hand, Beagles can be extra naughty when they are bored. You should make an effort to provide exercise and mental stimulation. Regular obedience training will also be a plus because these dogs love having jobs. With proper training, these dogs will make excellent canine companions. And of course, they are just the right size – not too big or not too small.

The Beagle Popularity

For years, various companies have studied the popularity of dog breeds in the US. The friendly Beagle has been a consistent placer in the Top Ten charts for around 30 years. They rallied in popularity among Collie breed, German Shepherd and others. In 2017 – 2018, Beagles were voted the sixth most popular dog in America, while the Labrador dominates. In terms of numbers, the Labrador has always been the most popular dog in the last 28 years.

Inspired Novels for Children

Beagles also played significant characters in children’s books and movies. Phyllis Reynolds Naylor, a children’s book author, found a frightened and abused dog in her visits to Shiloh, West Virginia. The experience haunted and made her decide to write a book about it. Shiloh, the classic children’s book, is a story of a mistreated Beagle who finds a loving home with the Preston Family. It has inspired children to treat animals and family pets with care and kindness. The story of Shiloh also helped develop confidence in standing up for what is right and for having greater empathy for others. Because of its popularity, Shiloh won a Newberry Medal and led to two more books – Shiloh Season and Saving Shiloh. There were also two movies, Shiloh and Shiloh Two: Shiloh Seasons, released in 1997 and 1999.

Mold and Termite Detectors

As mentioned earlier, Beagles are scent dogs with some unique jobs thanks to their powerful sense of smell. Apart from being employed by Homeland Security, these dogs are also excellent mold and termite detectors. Molds are gross, and even if you can’t see them, they can still make you feel sick and destroy your stuff. Fortunately, some Beagles are trained to detect molds! After finding this stuff, you can take steps to get rid of them.

Another icky job where the Beagles excel is pointing towards obnoxious critters that eat the house from within. No homeowner wants to have termites in their home, and thankfully the Beagles can help! Termite experts deem the Beagle the best choice for this specialized role because of its discriminating scent skills. Termite infestations are often hidden, and these amazing dogs can find areas that human pest control specialists.

Conclusion

There are hundreds of reasons to love Beagles. And knowing more fun and unique facts about them makes them even more endearing! They have good looks, and they are just the “right-size,” brilliant, and full of personality. It’s no wonder they are very popular then and now.

Some pet owners consider Beagles to be the perfect canine companions. But you should also beware of health issues that may affect them. Their large ears make them prone to ear infections. These dogs are bred to hunt and work. They have high energy, and they love the outdoors. It would help if you understood that they need exercise and mental stimulation to prevent boredom and avoid anxious behaviors. Beagles are also brilliant dogs and well-known escape artists. Thus, it would help if you were always prepared for their tricks and mischief.

With proper care, nutrition, training, and lots of love, Beagles can be one of the best companions you will ever have!

  1. Good morning, Miss Pat. None of the beagle images are showing up for me. :8-(

    It may be my older computer. I’ve been having the same issue with some of Filly’s posts.

              I don’t have the time or inclination to write current, night before opens like wolf and the gang at Maricas do. so I find interesting topics (or seasonal/ month specific ones) and schedule them a month in advance. then Filly adds hers in.
              but if there’s anything you’d like to see, just mention it, cuz I am always looking for ideas.
              if you’d like to write opens, we can accommodate that too!

        2. GA, might I suggest you do what I did and buy a refurbished, used computer? If you have a computer “guy” or go to a repair shop and ask if anyone sells refurbished older computers. I bought this used Lenovo laptop for $100, what….several years ago now? It was around Thanksgiving, IIRC, a few years ago. For another $70, he came out to my house and set it all up for me – installed W10 and transferred all of my data from my old computer. Granted, it will probably cost a little more where you live but still… That one still works but the teensy, tiny wire connecting the lid/display broke. I could have kept using it with a separate display on the side but a new display would have cost nearly as much as the used laptop anyway.

  3. Good Morning All!
    right before we went to bed (9 pm, yup, we’re old) I heard noises on the deck. I turned on the spotlights and saw a chubby raccoon smacking the mouse bait box around to get the little pellets to come out. He wasn’t phased by the lights or my face pressed against the glass yelling at him for knocking over my rock cactus pot AGAIN.
    hubby got the shotgun out and opened the door. (this was so the raccoon would be aware of his presence so he would leave the deck. hubby doesn’t shoot anything on the deck)
    it worked–and chubby headed for the steps. when he made it to the ground, that’s when hubby fired. he hit him but it still managed to run off. so hubby will be looking for it when it gets lighter.

    1. Morning, Pat! You and your raccoons = me and my squirrels! At least my problem is the smaller of the two! LOL

      Never got below freezing last night and, around 2 am or so, we got some fairly heavy rain; get up this morning – almost half of the snow has disappeared and my front porch is almost completely clear. Yeah!!! 35 at the moment and foggy.

  14. they’re pushing evs but the recharging facilities are not up to snuff…
    entire article
    “We’re going through the planning process of how easily Maddie can get from Albany to Gettysburg [College] and where she can charge the car,” said YouTube personality Steve Hammes, who leased a Hyunday Kona Electric SUV for his 17-year-old daughter, Maddie.

    “It makes me a little nervous. We want fast chargers that take 30 to 40 minutes — it would not make sense to sit at a Level 2 charger for hours. There isn’t a good software tool that helps EV owners plan their trips,” he told ABC News.

    The report comes on the heels of the Biden administration’s announcement that Tesla would open its Supercharger network to non-Tesla owners by the end of next year – a plan which includes 3,500 Tesla fast chargers and 4,000 of the slower, Level 2 chargers.

    John Voelcker, an industry expert on EVs and the former editor of Green Car Reports, said this arrangement will allow Tesla to learn a lot about U.S. drivers — “how you charge, where you drive and what car you have.” He does not expect Tesla to commit to additional charging stations.

    “Tesla does not want its highly reliable and tightly integrated charging network to be clogged with people whose cars can’t charge as fast as Teslas,” he told ABC News. -ABC News

    To try and cope with an increase in EVs, the Biden administration’s 2021 infrastructure law has a goal of installing 500,000 new chargers across the country – as well as dramatically boosting EV sales, by 2030.

    That said, Voelcker hasn’t seen much improvement in the nation’s recharging infrastructure over the past four years, and says he’s heard a food of complaints over dead chargers and ‘sticky cables.’

    “The incentive right now is to get stations in the ground,” he said. “It’s not making sure they actually work.”

    Car and Driver editor-in-chief Tony Quiroga, says he’s now been forced to wander around a local Walmart in Burbank, California while his Tesla recharges. He’s also become a regular at a Mohave, California Mexican restaurant, where a Telsa charger is located.

    “I imagine an ecosystem will be built around charging stations eventually,” he told ABC News. “Longer trips bring up flaws with EVs. People are leery of taking them on long trips — that’s why older EVs don’t have 40,000 miles on them.”

    Last March Swedish automaker Volvo and Starbucks said they were teaming up to install as many as 60 DC fast chargers at 15 Starbucks stores along a 1,350-mile route that spans from Seattle to Denver.

    Quiroga’s sister, who lives in Northern California, takes her internal combustion car — not her Tesla Model S — when she needs to drive across the state. Even Quiroga’s team of reporters has to carefully plan and calculate how far EV charging stations are when they conduct comparison tests among manufacturers. -ABC News

    “These comparisons tests are a logistical nightmare. We plan meals around recharging the vehicles,” said Quiroga. “We need to have the battery at 100% or close to it to test a vehicle’s performance. We have to time everything — it requires more work.”

    What’s more, the range of EVs plummets in the cold, or if you use things like the heater.

    Sharon Bragg of Clifton Park, New York, has to charge her Ford Mustang Mach-E GT more frequently in the winter months. The GT’s EPA rating is 270 miles on a full charge. Bragg said it’s closer to 200 in the colder weather. Last December a Level 2 charging plug got stuck in her Mach-E and would not budge. After multiple failed attempts by bystanders, she called an electrician, who blew hot air on the plug for 20 minutes to release it.

    “The whole process took two hours,” she told ABC News. “I was in the parking lot from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. It was a cold day.”

    That said, Quiroga of Car and Driver calls these inconveniences “teething pains,” which he says have greatly improved over the years.

    “Where we are now versus 10 years ago — it’s radically different,” he said. “Range has tripled, even quintupled. Look at the Lucid Air — it gets over 500 miles of range in a single charge.”

    Now if states like California could only provide an infrastructure robust enough to handle EV demand legislated over the next 10-15 years.

  15. this author suggests the voter rolls are too difficult to cleanse…but the addresses? they’re a different story
    long article

    The irresistible force is mail-in ballots, nonexistent signature verification, phantom voter rolls, a feckless Republican Party, Republican governors donating tax money to a George Soros–funded entity to clean voter rolls — election commissions changing ZIP codes so mail-in ballots stack up — courts refusing to remove dead people from voter rolls unless they miss two consecutive elections, and a Republican presidential candidate who thinks he can win with ballot-harvesting.

    What could go wrong in 2024?

    In 2000, the national realization was that election fraud is industrial-scale, committed by election commissions or with their acquiescence. It is a sovereign crime.

    The 2020 realization is that voter integrity teams cannot remove phantoms from voter rolls — even with death certificates.

    This irresistible force will not dissipate.

    Wisconsin advanced the state-of-the-scam to further flood voter rolls with anyone claiming existence.

    Forty years of Republican acquiescence and temerity brought us here — the end of free and fair elections. Election fraud is baked into every state’s voter rolls — protected by government.

    This week, we demonstrated a solution.

    We sent an open letter to ERIC, the organization, ostensibly founded with help from George Soros, managing voter rolls for almost 30 states — many Republican. We sent George a copy.

    The letter, and the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) we tested for 23 months, speak for themselves. Visit our site http://www.Omega4America.com and read both.

    MVP is not just a baseball term — it means the minimum capabilities to immediately solve a vexing problem. Enhancements come later.

    MVP capabilities are listed on the site, no need to review them here — except one.

    Voter rolls must be made visible to all citizens — like personal property rolls — period.

    If America continues to tolerate leftists making voting more insecure with mass registrations and mail-in ballots without signature verification — a counterbalance is needed.

    That counter becomes the Immovable Object — deep public scrutiny.

    The key to cleaning voter rolls, to the leftists’ dismay, is not finding dead voters. It is finding legitimate addresses — that cannot receive a ballot.

    If a voter integrity team challenges a dead guy, it is challenging a person. There are decades of law, from our leftist pals, to thwart removing the dead from the voter roll.

    Leftists built an entire infrastructure around protecting the guy — not the address. Knock on a couple of doors to see if Pedro lives there, and you get a visit from the Justice Department.

    Addresses are a different matter.

    Our team, with leadership from Nevada and Wisconsin — figured this out — thus the potential for a 2024 Immovable Object.

    Current methods don’t remove phantoms. Here’s a better way!

    Software-profile every address in a state — compare the address on the personal property tax roll with the same address on the voter roll. We did this in Nevada, and the results change the game.

    Join me on a trip to Nevada, soon to be Wisconsin and several more states who have seen the light!

    Addresses are wonderful entities. They are public. They pay taxes consistent with the most minuscule improvement. Bureaucrats drive around to see if a homeowner added a tool shed.

    Addresses are endlessly complicated.

    Any address can be presented in over 1,000 ways — understandable to a human but unrecognized by a computer. 1234 Christo.pher Ave is obvious to a human — Christopher. Not to a computer. Multiply this by over 100 million addresses, across thousands of databases — you see the issue.

    An apartment building may have 134 units, each with a different number. It has a clubhouse getting vendor bills. It has a repair facility with a different address — same building.

    Multiple entities can receive mail — but not a ballot! Fractal profiling determines this for every address in the county. We just did it in Nevada!

    Fractal determines that a ballot can go to any of those 134 units. The property tax database gives the square footage.

    Several units house 20 people each.

    Current election integrity teams challenge 20 people living in an 800-square-foot space with one bath. Bad move. They went after the guy — protected by decades of leftist law.

    The Fractal user calls the Health Department!

    “We have 235 apartment units, across your county — each with more people than your Health Department allows per number of baths! Either clean up those voter rolls or clean up those apartments! Or we will litigate!”

    What is happening here?

    For the first time, “data silos” are weaponized (oh, my, what a scary word). Why not? The leftists weaponized the FBI, CIA, and Justice Department — so it’s a thing!

    Counties allow voters to have one address in their voter record while their tax authority shows that no such person can legally live there. One set of government records contradicts the other set — they do not reconcile. These are data silos invisible to each other.

    Oh, my!

    This happens in every county in America. They have SQL, relational technology. They cannot do deep comparisons. Nothing reconciles.

    Wait until we release the cross search with the FEC contribution database. In the same period, Jack uses one address to vote, lives at a different address, and contributes from a third! Jack did three bad things!

    Coming in April!

    Mike Lindell told us to analyze Nevada a couple of months back. We compared Nevada tax records with its voter records.

    Now we are demonstrating the power of Fractal analysis against these monumental databases daily, in podcasts and in person. In March we visit Arizona; April, Georgia, Massachusetts and Illinois.

    It’s harder than it appears.

    There are over 1,000 building types described on property tax rolls. They change by county — one calling it a shed, the other a lean-to. We spent months, and lots of artificial intelligence, building the “canonical model” to make these play well together.

    Now it’s time to bring every swing county in every swing state on board.

    We are fortunate that several state organizations are raising the modest funding to make Fractal analysis available in their states. As more states join, we identify patterns from one state applied in another.

    Our leftist pals spent 40 years padding voter rolls with phantoms and passing laws to protect them from removal.

    They didn’t spend a dime on addresses.

    Our UnDeliverable Ballot Database identifies every location that will receive a ballot — but there is not someone there to legally vote it.

    The Immovable Object is visibility of electoral data for any citizen from his phone — cross searched against property tax records — and dozens of other databases — at silicon speed.

    When citizens, of any party, realize that their county registrar has voters living in banks, 7-Elevens, public parks, and their own homes — to their surprise — they experience what disenfranchisement means.

    Visibility to evil drives social change.

    It’s our turn!

    Jordan Schachtel
    12 hr ago

    ENTIRE ARTICLE: “The people who run D.C. are quick to inform us that Vladimir Putin is an all powerful dictator. He is the second coming of Hitler, they say, adding that “Putler” has plans to march through Europe and exterminate any resistance to his path across the continent. The Blob also informs us, using their incredible strategic wisdom, that Russia is a weak paper tiger, and the humble army of Ukraine is well-positioned to defeat the clumsy Russian bear, pending a couple more fancy toys from Boeing, Raytheon, Lockheed and friends.

    Despite Putin’s 80-plus percent approval rating in Russia, our legislators and thinkers have determined that he must be defeated at all costs, even by means of a foreign liquidation event. Russia only has a mere 6,000 nuclear warheads, and there are plenty in the Kremlin who would take a much more aggressive anti-West stance than Putin. What could possibly go wrong, anyway?

    Russia is both so powerful that their ships will be “off our coasts” in no time. And at the same time, Ukraine should be able to defeat the Russian military with an extra push or two. As Bush 43 once said, “We will fight them over there so we do not have to face them in the United States of America.” Just support Zelenskyyyyyyy and he will show those Russians who’s boss!

    Our D.C. Uniparty narrative conveniently excuses away any potential role that they played in helping to spawn this fiasco. It’s very important that you accept their claim that this is an “unprovoked war” and our ruling class totally didn’t launch a coup in 2014 against the legitimate government in Ukraine. That’s conspiratorial crazy talk. Probably best to just ban it. The idea that the people in charge of our country would want to bait Russia into the conflict by arming up a series of fascist militias on their border is unfounded, so don’t watch any doctored videos that show otherwise.

    It might seem like none of their explanations make any sense whatsoever, but that’s why we are supposed to remain good plebeians, embrace Schrodinger’s Russia paradox, and support the war effort. You see, that’s what the Great Thinkers in D.C. are for. They do the complicated thinking, proceed to loot the American taxpayer, I mean, “invest” in Ukraine, to the tune of well over one hundred billion dollars, and accomplish the mission.

    Obviously, it’s the height of patriotism to support Ukraine and dismantle our own military in the process. Disagree? That’s pretty transphobic of you, MAGA traitor! No no. Really, it’s simple, stupid. Ukraine Man Good.

    Why are we supposed to hate Russians again, you ask? Well, because they are born to wage imperial conquest, or something. Remember Stalin? Remember the Cold War. Damn those Russians! Good thing our ruling elites are honorable front line freedom fighters, as proven by their ability to successfully free Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, and the whole continent of Africa. Today, liberty thrives in these places. Thank you, Science!

    Remember, the hate is literally in their blood, and “there are no innocent Russians,” according to the totally non-xenophobic Russia Experts in Washington. Our fearless Russia Experts have an excellent track record. Let me remind you of their greatness by pointing out that they used their unparalleled expertise to determine the phony Hunter Biden laptop story as Russian disinformation. They also frequently remind us that Russia “hacked the 2016 election” by spending 12 dollars on Facebook ads.

    If all else fails, just make sure to hate Russia by default. They hack us. They’re probably hacking you right now! Slava Ukraine! A real American understands the importance of raising the Rainbow Flag over Crimea, and showing Putin that the people in charge here are a force to be reckoned with!

    Back to serious mode to conclude this. Before committing to all of the noise coming out of the Ukraine-Russia conflict, it’s worth taking a few moments to check the premises of the people in charge. Schrodinger’s Russia paradox shows us that their carefully crafted chronicles fall apart under even the lightest touch of scrutiny.”

The photo was reportedly taken last month in Brussels, Belgium, where “The Boss” is visiting his 30-year-old Olympian daughter, Jessica Springsteen, who is participating in a showjumping competition. FYI – ‘showjumping’ is a sport only engaged in by super-rich elitist snobs.

  29. “The Declaration of Helsinki — What does it actually say and was it followed during COVID-19?”

    Robert W Malone MD, MS
    22 min ago

    EXCERPT: ““The Declaration of Helsinki is a set of ethical principles regarding human experimentation developed originally in 1964 for the medical community by the World Medical Association. It is widely regarded as the cornerstone document on human research ethics (Wiki).”

    Introduction — The Declaration of Helsinki is a statement outlining the ethical principles for medical research involving human subjects. It was written and adopted by the 18th Assembly of the World Medical Association in Helsinki, Finland, 1964. Ten of the original principles were first outlined in the Nuremberg Code of Conduct of 1947. Other elements were added from the Declaration of Geneva of 1948. The declaration of Helsinki was a response to the public outcry to the thalidomide scandal.

    In the late 1950s and early 1960s, the use of thalidomide in 46 countries by women who were pregnant or who subsequently became pregnant resulted in the “biggest man-made medical disaster ever,” with more than 10,000 children born with a range of severe deformities, such as phocomelia, as well as thousands of miscarriages (Wiki).

    The Declaration of Helsinki has been amended by general assemblies of the association nine times, with the last amendment being in 2013. These principles provide an ethical foundation that is used by those in medical research involving human subjects.

    Just prior to the pandemic, the World Medical Association tried to update the declaration again. The circulation of the draft created a large uproar. It was interpreted as “an attempt to dilute the ethical principles of the document and to undermine protection of participants in medical research, particularly those in developing countries (Lancet).”

    The Declaration of Helsinki is often cited, but rarely quoted. Below is the full declaration.”

I told him I was getting ready to go pick some up at the pharmacy and if I don’t get it by tomorrow, that’s what I’ll do. I also made a point to thank him for being so gracious and taking the time to actually LISTEN to me. Oh, and I did tell him to warn the doctor that I would probably be unlike anyone he’s ever met before and to prepare himself. I also told him about the notice for the mammo and told him it was silly, it would be like putting 2 pimples in that stupid vise! But if I HAVE to, I will – otherwise, no, no and HELL no!

    Congress piles on debt and nothing happens..so we will pile on even more debt because we know Biden will forgive our debts

    Americans in Their 30s Are Piling On DebtOverall burden is up more than for any other age group

    (Danielle Smith is an idiot….)

    Danielle Smith and her family thought they had finally escaped the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle they had fallen into. They saved money during the pandemic while they were stuck at home. They used stimulus checks to chip away at $20,000 in credit-card debt and enjoyed a reprieve from monthly payments on their $160,000 in student loans.

    Lately, they have been hit with one unexpected expense after another, from an out-of-pocket MRI to a broken water heater. They also took trips with their four children that they had put off because of Covid, including to Walt Disney World, local museums and the zoo. By 2022, their credit-card debt had doubled to nearly $40,000.

    “It’s just a never-ending cycle of playing catch-up,” said Ms. Smith, 34, who together with her husband has a household income of roughly $80,000 a year in Lincoln, Neb.

  35. “Obstetrician Says He Saw DOUBLE the Bleeding Problems Right After the Shots Rolled Out
    And “He’s just drowning, drowning in chronic disease now from patients that had previously been healthy.”

    The Vigilant Fox
    55 min ago
    Originally Published on DailyClout

    “I got a text earlier about an hour ago from a colleague in Florida, and he says he’s just drowning, drowning in chronic disease now from patients that had previously been healthy,” lamented Dr. Ryan Cole, a renowned clinical and anatomic pathologist.

    The colleague, to whom Dr. Cole is referring, is an obstetrician, a doctor who specializes in pregnancy, childbirth, and women’s reproductive health. Dr. Cole said, “He doesn’t know what to do because there are so many adverse effects that he’s now seeing.”

    Vaccine Safety Research Foundation founder Steve Kirsch asked Dr. Cole, “Is he speaking out publicly?” “Oh, yeah. He is,” answered Dr. Cole. “About a year ago is when he stepped into the fray.”
    This doctor, whose name wasn’t mentioned, “saw the bleeding problems right away” after the shots rolled out. “He saw about a 100% increase in bleeding problems in his practice,” disclosed Dr. Cole.

    Dr. Cole says his obstetrician colleague has been in practice for 28 years, and the obstetrician’s medical assistant had been in practice for about 32 years, “and between the two of them, they’ve never seen this type of bleeding problems” in women. “And when the shots rolled out, that’s when they started seeing it.”

    The 100% increase in bleeding problems is not just one doctor’s experience. Dr. McCullough wrote a piece today reporting that the EVA Project found that 78% of women reported menstrual changes after COVID-19 vaccination.”

  36. “Senate Republicans Want Heads to Roll After Explosive Covid Origins Report — “The American people deserve the full truth about #covid origins. No more whitewash.”

    Kyle Becker
    22 min ago

    ENTIRE ARTICLE: “It was once denounced as a “conspiracy theory.” But suddenly, it’s now become conventional wisdom. An explosive report in the Wall Street Journal published on Sunday has already raised the ire of Senate Republicans who are now vowing to go on the warpath to get actual answers. Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-AK) called for “extensive” public hearings into Covid’s origins on NBC’s Meet the Press. He derided China’s efforts to “shut people up” when questions were raised about the coronavirus’s origins.

    “I think we need to do extensive hearings. I hope our Democratic colleagues in the Congress can support that. I know the Republicans in the House are certainly supportive of that,” Sullivan told Chuck Todd. “Look, this is a country that has no problem coming out and lying to the world. We just saw that with this Chinese spy balloon. It’s the nature of a Communist dictatorship to lie to their own people, to lie to the world. But I think that we need to make sure every country knows that and then look at what the consequences could be.”

    Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) tweeted that he plans to reintroduce legislation forcing the U.S. government to declassify intelligence on the Covid-19 outbreak. The Missouri senator wants all relevant intelligence on the issue released to the public. “The American people deserve the full truth about #covid origins. No more whitewash,” he Tweeted on Sunday. “I will again introduce legislation to make the US government’s intelligence reports on covid open to the people.”

    Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) says the Biden administration should declassify classified documents showing scientists at the Department of Energy believe Covid-19 leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology laboratory in China. “Classified documents leaked (they should be declassified!) showing scientists at DOE believe COVID leaked from Wuhan Lab,” Paul tweeted on Monday.

    Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) has consistently raised the possibility of the Wuhan lab leak and called for investigations about it since early 2020.

    He was slammed by the New York Times and Washington Post in February 2020 for repeating what both outlets referred to as a “fringe theory.” It’s not so “fringe” now.

    The Senate GOP in October called the lab leak theory the “most likely” scenario for Covid’s origins. The report from the office of Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) concluded the SARS-CoV-2 virus was “most likely the result of a research-related incident” at the Wuhan laboratory in China.”

  38. “Swiss man evicted to make room for refugees despite living in home for 15 years — The local authority claims its hands are tied in order to comply with federal refugee distribution quotas”

    February 27, 2023
    editor: REMIX NEWS author: THOMAS BROOKE

    (The 47-year-old male has lived in his apartment for over 15 years.)

    ENTIRE ARTICLE: “A Swiss man living in social housing in the village of Seegräben has been ordered to vacate his apartment in order to make way for asylum seekers. The 47-year-old man received a letter from local authorities explaining they had been unable to find any alternative accommodation for the newcomers and were obliged to house a certain number of asylum seekers in line with national refugee quotas.

    As such, the man is now expected to vacate the apartment he has lived in for over 15 years and find alternative housing in just three months. The unnamed 47-year-old handed the letter he had received from the local authorities to the Swiss newspaper, 20 Minutes, which read:

    ‘As explained in today’s personal conversation, you will receive the notice of termination of the tenancy of the 5.5-room apartment as of May 31, 2023. As seem on the official form attached the municipality of Seegräben is obliged to take in and house asylum seekers and refugees.

    Due to the high migration numbers, the municipalities were instructed by the canton to provide living space in order to be able to accommodate additional people seeking protection. Despite an intensive search in recent weeks, no suitable apartments can currently be found on the open market. The very scarce housing supply in our community has therefore persuaded the municipal council to seize the community-owned apartment for this purpose in the future.

    We regret that we could not find another solution and hope that you will find a new one quickly. if you find a new apartment before the end of the notice period, you can end the tenancy earlier on any month-end. We hope that despite the unpleasant situation you are in, the rental agreement can be concluded with mutual respect and decency.’

    Speaking to Swiss media, the resident said: “I am incredibly sad. I have lived here for over 15 years. My children grew up in this apartment.” He explained that he “would never have expected” to be ousted from his home to make way for refugees. “I am scared. I don’t think that in the next three months I will find another affordable accommodation in the region that can accommodate myself, my children who visit me every two weeks, and my pets,” he added.

    The local mayor, Marco Pezzatti, was questioned about the incident by Swiss broadcaster SRF and insisted the move was in order to comply with clear federal regulations. He explained the village was required to accommodate a number of asylum seekers equal to 0.9 percent of its community. “In our community, that’s about 13 people,” he told the broadcaster, adding that to date only nine refugees had been found homes in the area.

    “We placed numerous advertisements, wrote to private real estate companies and spoke to private individuals,” Pezzatti explained, but they were unable to secure alternative accommodation, which led to the eviction notice. “We very much regret this step,” he added.

    The case mirrors a similar approach taken in neighboring Germany earlier this month, where residents in the town of Lörrach received similar notices, as their apartments are “particularly suitable” for Ukrainian refugees. “This letter, for me, it’s an early death notice,” said 78-year-old Lorrach resident Klaus Kichling, who is already facing serious health issues after a recent stroke.”

  39. “Zelensky, not Putin, is increasingly threatened by the prospect of a palace coup — Engaged in a continuing Great Purge against top officials, the authoritarian Ukrainian president finds himself with fewer and fewer allies where it matters.”

    Jordan Schachtel
    15 min ago

    EXCERPT: “Volodomyr Zelensky has a lot of powerful backers around the world, and from afar, the Ukrainian president seems politically invincible. He’s got the Uniparty in Washington, D.C. on his side, coupled with the international globalists in the robust World Economic Forum-attached network, along with the public-private asset management behemoth financiers in BlackRock and co, and another heavy line of credit through the IMF-World Bank group.

    Domestically, it’s an entirely different story. The Ukrainian people are suffering greatly under Zelensky, with mandatory conscription and half the country’s land mass now exposed to the horrors and bombardment of an indefinite war footing. Kiev once pursued neutrality and embraced its role as a buffer state as the functioning gold standard for geopolitical relations. Now, at the insistence of the western ruling class, Ukraine has committed realpolitik seppuku and has become fiercely antagonistic to its more powerful neighbor.

    The corporate press and D.C. institutions have insisted that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s standing is most at risk of a coup or popular overthrow, but there is no evidence for such an assertion. In fact, polling from the independent Levada-Center shows Putin’s approval rating has spiked to over 80 percent since the commencement of the war in Ukraine. Zelensky, on the other hand, is heading in the opposite direction, becoming increasingly unpopular as the war drags on.

    The Zelensky government is fighting wars on two fronts, having engaged in ethnic cleansing against large swaths of its own population, especially the 1/3 of the country that is now labeled as enemies of the state due to their Russian ethnic and linguistic backgrounds.

    Moreover, despite the seemingly endless rounds of Western supplies and money disbursements contributing to the war effort, Ukraine is losing this conflict badly, and their citizens are paying the greatest price for it. In order to protect his government and his personal standing in office, Zelensky has spent recent weeks and months conducting a Great Purge within Ukraine.”

    The Mid Vermont Christian School girls basketball team withdrew from the Vermont Division IV state tournament because of a refusal to play against an opponent with a transgender student-athlete.

    The No. 12 seed Eagles were scheduled to play a first-round game at No. 5 seed Long Trail on Tuesday night, but their withdrawal forfeited the game to the Mountain Lions.

    “We believe playing against an opponent with a biological male jeopardizes the fairness of the game and the safety of our players,” MVCS head of school Vicky Fogg wrote in an email to the Valley News on Wednesday evening. “Allowing biological males to participate in women’s sports sets a bad precedent for the future of women’s sports in general.”

              4. My earliest memory is being on the back of our mare walking down the shed row at the track. And of course we lived on the farm with them. Ms. Sure Trump and her daughter, Filly we called her but IDR what her registered name was – she was a kicker from birth and we all knew it. We 3 – sis, bro and I – would go outside to play with the horses – the #1 rule: don’t get Filly running. As usual, Charley ignored that, put a lead shank on her and was running along next to her as she was trotting. As she always did, she got to bucking and kicking and nailed him square in the face! He went rolling ass over elbow, jumped up, put up his hand to wipe away the blood, and hollered “DON’T TELL MOM! DON’T TELL MOM!” It was funnier than shit and sis and I were rolling on the ground laughing! And man, was that boy lucky! Her hoof caught him right between the bottom of his nose and his upper lip! Didn’t even break anything! Of course, Mom noticed and we all lied…it’s what you do – we had to have each others’ back during those REALLY bad times.

But I was too little….needless to say, that didn’t go over well with them.

    GOP targets billions in COVID fraud with new bill: ‘Greatest heist of American taxpayer dollars in history’

    Excerpt:

    The two committee chairmen said some estimates say as much as $400 billion in fraudulent unemployment payments may have been made during the COVID pandemic, during which nearly $900 billion in relief payments went out.

    Under their bill, state workforce agencies that manage federal unemployment benefits would be incentivized to pursue fraudulent claims – they would keep 25% of everything they recover, and let them use it at the state level to improve unemployment insurance integrity by hiring fraud investigators, boosting ID verification and other steps.

  48. EXCERPT: “Ian Fleming’s original James Bond novels have been “rewritten” to remove racist remarks ahead of a coming re-release, The Telegraph has reported. Ahead of a coming re-release to mark the 70th anniversary since the release of Ian Fleming’s Casino Royale novel, the first in the James Bond series, the publication reports that the works have been “rewritten” to appease woke sensibilities.

    The revelation comes after a week of controversy surrounding recent reprints of Roald Dahl’s books, with it being revealed that the works of fiction have been edited in order to change or remove language deemed problematic.

    According to The Telegraph, this practice of editing problematic content, supposedly to appeal to modern audiences, has now extended to Fleming’s work, with so-called “sensitivity readers” being drafted in to examine the novels. As a consequence, the 70th-anniversary edition reprints due out in April are to sport a number of major changes compared to the original, as well as a trigger warning at the beginning warning readers of each book’s contents.

    “This book was written at a time when terms and attitudes which might be considered offensive by modern readers were commonplace,” the disclaimer will read.”
