I will say, despite the both loud and silly pro big pharma messaging surrounding #COVID19 vaccines, I don't think that going into the ins and outs of the vaccines is important.

I'm more of an up vs. down guy TBH, rather than right vs. left; are you for big government, or not?

So while sure there might be questions about the vaccines, I care more about the mandates than the dangers at this point. Yes, I think there should be more transparency and studies regarding side effects, but at the end of the day, if you wanna get shot up twenty times, cool, and if you don't wanna get shot up at all, equally cool. It's a personal choice and I don't think anyone should be shamed for either decision.

This is correct and rational thinking. Sending your kids to government schools is a horrific abdication of your parental responsibilities.

.@mike_pence says today he was “deeply offended” that I don’t trust that the government told us the full truth in the 9/11 Commission Report. Well, I find it offensive that our government repeatedly lies to us. Here’s the TRUTH: the FBI quietly declassified documents in 2021 that definitively reveal the government lied to the public about basic facts of Saudi Arabia’s involvement in 9/11, until documents were declassified and they changed their story 20 years later.

Omar al-Bayoumi, a 42-year-old graduate student, welcomed, housed, set up bank accounts, and gave rent money to the first two Qaida hijackers after they landed in Los Angeles in January 2000. Al-Bayoumi claimed to have met the two terrorists entirely by chance: The 9/11 Commission report verified that Bayoumi’s altruism was in the name of hospitality, as he claimed.

The FBI, 20 years later, changed its story. In documents declassified last year, the Bureau affirmed that Bayoumi was in fact an agent of the Saudi intelligence service who worked with Saudi religious officials and reported to the kingdom’s powerful ambassador in Washington.

U.S. government officials continue to lie about other matters of public importance – the origin of Covid-19, knowledge about UAPs, Hunter Biden’s laptop, how our money is actually being spent in Ukraine, the Nashville trans shooter manifesto – with a complicit media that just accepts the prevailing narrative without question. This fuels rampant public distrust. There is no credible evidence that 9/11 was an “inside job,” but ironically, when the government systematically lies about Saudi involvement and the media runs interference, that lends plausibility to an otherwise unlikely claim.

There’s no such thing as a noble lie. With all due respect to the former VP, the reason the people don’t trust the government is because the government doesn’t trust the people.
