The Real Test of a Society is How It Treats Its Most Vulnerable Members
Speaking outside the Royal London hospital, Hollie Dance said he had “fought right until the very end”.
Speaking through tears, she said: “In sadness, Archie passed at 12.15pm today. I would just like to say I am the proudest mum in the world.
“He was such a beautiful little boy. He fought right until the very end and I am so proud to be his mum.”
“His stats remained completely stable for two hours until they completely removed ventilation and he went completely blue,” she said.
“There is absolutely nothing dignified about watching a family member or a child suffocate. No family should ever have to go through what we have been through – it is barbaric.”
When children including those not born, the developmentally delayed, the disabled, the elderly, the weak are simply lumps of flesh to be disposed of because your very humane health care system needs a bed, a society has gone fully pagan.
Such a society deserves neither respect, obedience, or taxes. It is too much like T4 project.

Monkeypox Diagnosis Issues
Experts in San Francisco, Miami, and the UK say many monkeypox cases are being "missed."
Some patients are receiving false negative monkeypox tests, while others are being misdiagnosed.
Fear, stigma, miscommunication and misunderstanding all contribute.
More than 7,100 monkeypox patients have been diagnosed in the US since this outbreak began with a single case in mid-May.
But Dr. Graham Walker, an emergency physician in San Francisco, says that many more monkeypox patients are not being given the care and attention they deserve to prevent, diagnose, and treat this infectious disease efficiently.
Walker says he's seen "several patients" whose monkeypox diagnosis was "missed" by another provider before they landed in his ER in excruciating pain.
This is worrisome.

Is Black Oxide Finish Hard to Apply to a Screw?
Things That I Do Not Need
Shear-Loc Thumb Screw Knobs. These pop onto SHC screws and turn them into thumbscrews. They work great. In my application, the thumb screw required more force to turn than I could apply with my delicate little fingers. In a situation where the screws can turn with less force, they will work fine.
I do not need them, but throwing them away seems silly. I have listed them on eBay, but if any on you want them, they are free, just pay for first class mail. There are two sizes: foe 4-40 and 8-32 SHC screws, 100 in a bag.

Are References to Revolutionary Materials Allowed?
This May Complicate Teaching American History
The FBI has listed a number of symbols of Militia Violent Extremism: Revolutionary War Imagery, the Gadsen Flag, and the Second Amendment. I think the Supreme Court may need to revise its DeBruen decision.
I Have Read About This But Now I Have Proof
During the 1863 New York City Draft Riots. From Aug. 1, 1863 Harper's:
At Newspaper Row, across from City Hall, Henry Raymond, owner and editor of The New York Times, averted the rioters with Gatling guns, one of which he manned. The mob, instead, attacked the headquarters of abolitionist Horace Greeley's New York Tribune until forced to flee by the Brooklyn Police.

California Needs to Ban AR-15s!
Two Murder Convictions. Why NOT Release Her?
The person before the parole panel in June 2019 was tall and slim, in far better shape than 81 years of life might have suggested. Mild and polite, the supplicant seemed nothing like the murderer who had spent decades in prison, first for shooting a girlfriend dead in 1963, and then for stabbing another in 1985, stuffing her corpse into a bag and leaving it in Central Park.
“I’m no longer that person,” the inmate told the parole board commissioners. Despite misgivings, they would rule in favor of release.
Two and a half years after leaving Cayuga Correctional Facility, Marceline Harvey was accused again, charged with killing Susan Leyden, 68. Parts of Ms. Leyden’s body were found in March inside a shopping cart in East New York, stuffed in a bag. In Ms. Harvey’s apartment, investigators found a bloody mop, a tub full of towels and a box for an electric saw....
Decades worth of police documents and court records detail the life of Ms. Harvey, a transgender woman who transitioned at some point after her release from prison.
Bad news, progressives. People who commit murder are not necessarily to be trusted. People who pull down their pants and cannot see reality are not likely to be strong on rational behavior.
Three States Have Declared Monkeypox State of Emergency
Guess which three? California, Illinois, and New York. This is a disease spread almost entirely by sexual contact. It is largely men having sex with men (MSM, the new less judgmental form of the word "homosexual"). This has been known for some time. There are advantages to changing sexual partners less often than you change your socks. The spread of an STD increases with the square of the frequency of different partners per time period. Four different partners a month increases the incidence by 16x. Four a day is a bit worse.
I know that there are gay men who do not spend hours each day at "glory holes," but there are enough that AIDS, syphilis, and now monkeypox are very disproportionately MSM problems. It is really sad, but sexual fidelity (or at least keeping the number per week down) has some real advantages.
A Marvelous Explanation of Defense Procurement Economics
I have mentioned this guy before. He is a defense procurement specialist from somewhere Down Under (Aussie or Kiwi), and this video explains why comparing dollars spent on defense spending by nation understates how much the U.S. taxpayers get for that pile of money. There are economic multiplier effects (manufacturing here creates taxable corporate income, personal income, capital gains, and lots of high-paying jobs.
Then he explains why so many nations buy American weapon systems: why our scale of domestic production and leading-edge technology makes other nations' domestic production too costly. I notice that when he discusses scale of production advantages he often includes World War II and modern production lines as a subtle reminder that we are really good at some things, still. Like building the best fighter aircraft in the world. Not cheap but as the Ukraine War is showing, cheap is not enough.
