Nah. This is very much a watch them stew moment.
That happened to me in a minor way.
A sports blog I follow allowed a non-sport thread on Covid.
I was the only one arguing against lockdowns and vax mandates, and I promoted vaccine hesitancy.
Factual arguments were spurned so I started using humour.
I’ve been banned because I put up a cartoon of Fauci’s face on a “Missing person” milk carton.
Frustrating because I miss the sport banter. There, opposing views are welcomed. The covid narrative however brooks no opposition.
Que? marles never had any “cred” in the first place – and he sounds as effeminate as that lisping queen destroying WA.
I do love Bob Moran’s democrat blackface and the hairy nuts peaking out from under the ‘woman’s’ dress.
What lunacy is this? Steam replaced women and children dragging coal out of mines along tracks, as well as horses doing the job later. The slavery of industrial workers is barely recognised in the full on US-style tilt against negro plantation slavery. The world, as noted by John Cleese before he was howled down recently, has always had invasions and slave-taking. This is all part of the anti-coal media-fed conspiracy.
All Articles of Faith in the cult.
Ha!
NB: Important distinction alert. Having raised the issue of missing chompers myself, I then – like it or not – open the door for people to comment on it, in whatever fashion they desire.
I do not regard this as ‘bullying’.
You rarely hear trainers talking so confidently ahead of big races: On racing radio in Melbourne this morning, Sydney-based Pommy import Anabel Neasham says Zaaki is “bucking his brands off” and is the one to beat in tomorrow’s $5 million All-Star Mile at Flemington.
Zaaki is the $3.40 favourite – generous odds with Jamie Kah on his back. Barrier 15 sounds like it’s in the car park, but it simply allows Kah to avoid the traffic as she gets Zaaki rolling on the Flemington back straight.
I trust Arky got his ingrown toenail out.

The stomping used to be quiet and surreptitious. Insert a fellow traveller into this university department head role, a top marketing position in a public company, left wing text books placed in schools, woke training courses in the armed services.
In short, the long march through the institutions.
That war having been won by the radical left, they can now posture their jackboot stomping for all to see and cower.
The Times “Fortify the election” article was a deliberate and overt challenge to any remaining conservatives to expose themselves and then be shot down.
Perrotet’s admission that QR coding and school child RAT testing were Kubuki Theatre collaborated on between Dicktator Dan and himself is the most recent example of public jackboot stomping.
Thank heavens we have conservative governments in Canberra and NSW to protect us from such totalitarianism.
Can you get it polished? All will be forgiven.

On visit to Sydney attended a social gathering of the dreaded “vaccine free” which has been formed in our area.
Gosh this was great. It’s fantastic to get a sympathetic audience on blogs like this and also on overseas substacks etc . But to have a social gathering and to be able to vent the frustrations and affronts of the past 2 years was a real treat.
Of course you don’t.

I don’t wave ‘victim’ flags but I do call out poor behaviour. My view is that I make genuinely meant normal comments which you then proceed to twist via so-called satire in order to denigrate me. This is bullying, when it is consistent, unfair, applied only to one person, and intending to hurt.

Oh Saint Patrick he drove out the snakes
With his prayers but that’s not all it takes
For the snake symbolizes
An evil that rises
And hides in your heart
As it breaks
And the evil has risen my friends
From the darkness that lives in some men
But in sorrow and fear
That’s when saints can appear
To drive out those old snakes once again
And they struggle for us to be free
From the psycho in this human family
Ireland’s sorrow and pain
Is now the Ukraine
And Saint Patrick’s name now Zelensky

Vicki, we have had great social gatherings at our place with a mix of vaxxed and unvaxxed Cats. Noone cared who was what, and we all hugged hello and goodbye. We were only too happy to provide a social meeting place during the worst of it for people so brutally excluded from life’s sociality. So glad you have done what lots do, and gathered together for fun times with like-minded people.
Happy to include you on any Cat meet up list in future at ours although we will be o/s a lot of this year. Dover has my email.
The Welsh ‘government’ is a classic example of the risks of imposed self government, and more so of the consequences of electorate indifference.
At devolution, a few school teachers joined up with a possee of Welsh nationalist nutters and were elected with a handful of votes, because the electorate ignored the election.
They immediately set about passing laws that make them invulnerable. Wales is now a Marxist led state.
Political indifference is criminal.

Then again, turning down working every day with Felicity Kendal!
To The Manor Born star Peter Bowles has died from cancer at the age of 85, his agent has revealed today, after an astonishing 66-year career where he became Britain’s most famous and loved ‘archetypal English gent’.
The actor starred in the BBC hit show from 1979 to 1981, playing Richard DeVere alongside Penelope Keith in the smash-hit sitcom, which had audiences of more than 20million for all of its twenty-one episodes. 27million watched the final show – a record only eclipsed by Only Fools and Horses in 1996.
Announcing his death in a statement, his agent said: ‘The actor Peter Bowles has sadly passed away at the age of 85 from cancer. Starting his career at the Old Vic Theatre in 1956, he starred in 45 theatrical productions ending at the age of 81 in The Exorcist at the Phoenix Theatre.
‘He worked consistently on stage and screen, becoming a household name on TV as the archetypal English gent in To The Manor Born, Only When I Laugh, The Bounder and Lytton’s Diary, which he devised himself. He leaves his wife of over 60 years, Sue, and their three children Guy, Adam and Sasha.’
Mr Bowles’ big breakthrough on To The Manor Born came more than 20 years after his career began with RADA at the Old Vic, with the sitcom about an upper-class woman and her nouveau riche businessman husband making him a household name overnight. He reprised the role of Mr DeVere during an hour long 2007 special, in which the two charters celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary, and he and his co-star were lifelong friends.
Famously, in 1974, he had turned down the role of Jerry in The Good Life, which made stars of Richard Briers, Felicity Kendal, Paul Eddington and Ms Keith, claiming that he didn’t want to be ‘tied down’ to a BBC series.
Mr Bowles built a reputation for being a suave leading man, often with a trademark moustache and wooing ladies. He also played smooth villains in several TV series, including The Avengers and The Saint. He was still working until before the pandemic, starring in a stage production of The Exorcist aged 81, declaring proudly at the time he was the ‘oldest man to star above the title in British theatrical history’.
Handsome and always impeccably dressed, even in his later years, he put his good health down to 20 minutes of weight-training every day into his 80s.
To the Manor Born is hardly about “an upper-class woman and her nouveau riche businessman husband”. It’s more “recently impoverished upper-class snooty woman tries desperately to regain position by wooing working class millionaire who’s just bought her house”.

Re Australia Post. Just bought an express post envelope, the addressee and the sender box details have been changed. After the name of the addressee and sender there is a box for ‘Traditional Name’ (of area) then one for suburbs and postcode etc. I guess it easier to concentrate on woke things rather than delivering things.
When the likes of Coorey says it afflicts both parties he is admitting that it is incontrovertibly the case with Labor but he wants you to instead to attack the Libs.
The moron probably leaned back in his seat, hands behind his head, puffed up his narrow chest and contentedly told himself “That should do it. Now it’s the Libs’ problem.”
I have a few oyves, if you want them.
One of the reasons Australia Post are so useless, is concentrating on woke stuff miles away from their main role:
Australia Post National Indigenous manager Barbara Sheehy
Preparing for aboriginal sovereignty, a nation within a nation.
Like those government departments that took the royal insiginia off their buldings in the ’90s in anticipation of the glorious republic.
“Rear of the year..”
The MSM’s focus on ‘mean girls’ and Emma Husar’s ‘on the record’ spray at Albanese probably marks this as unsweepable.
Looking like the carefully curated “Liberals Have a Women Problem” electoral strategy has been instantly converted into a media discussion about how comprehensively shite the whole Canberra culture is.
Lots of public interest and bipartisan cut-through there.
Far less cut-through from an ‘adult-in-the-room’ performance from Wong and/or Krispy, intoning about the collective awfulness of Reynolds, Morrison, Porter, and Todger. And assets like Brittnee and Grace defanged by the media search for further Labor Rattesses.
Hence Albo’s, almost incoherent, little ball of fury on display yesterday.

Re Australia Post, I posted a Christmas present to friends in Germany in early November and the postage cost $29 for a small lightweight parcel! It sat in Sydney until just after New Year and was received by my friends the day after it arrived in Germany. Thumbs up to Deutsche Post and a big thumbs down to Australia Post.
Sadly, I doubt it.
The Libs can scarcely summon up the will or energy to even defend themselves. Just a mat of sessile polyps waiting to uniformly sway one way or the other in obedience to the currents issuing from Photios’ and his cabal’s posterior.
There is no way the Libs are going to carry any fight to Labor.

A Pommy Leak.
Forgot to add that my friends were out when my present was delivered, so they had to go and pick it up from the post office in the wonderfully-named neighbouring town of Pfaffing – which would be a good name to describe Australia Post’s business strategy.

After all, Sco MO is doing everything he should be to bring down the west.
Why do they need to get Labor in?
You’re talking about mean girls so you’re not talking about the jab.
There has been two solid years of indisputable evidence that the UN/WEF davos mobsters orchestrated a plandemic, and all the tyrannies they were going to put on the west.
To look at what has been done to NZ, Canada, much of Europe is identical in so many aspects that if you now deny this, you are lost.
Some governments have more WEF traitors implanted in them , than others.
And socialism in itself means that those in parliaments around the world who are not part of the orchestrated coup d’etat, will be supporting it 100%

The massive number of all pandemic deaths shows how totally ineffective all actions by governments and public health groups, as well as the medical establishment, have been. It has all been one gigantic pandemic blunder.
Even if there was some undercounting of COVID infection deaths, there probably was at least 10 million pandemic deaths in the two years covered in this study that can and should be blamed on a number of ineffective and unnecessary public health actions. Where is the accountability for these non-infection deaths?
Considering the enormous number of COVID vaccine shots given globally there also should be no praise for them saving lives. In some countries like the US with high rates of vaccination there were still high COVID deaths. What must always be emphasized is that the use of ivermectin and various non-vaccine protocols could have prevented nearly all COVID infection deaths.

It says a lot about Wong’s character that she would raise the issue of Kitching not having children. The bottom line is that Wong, Keneally and Gallagher are grubs…but we all know that.
“Wong, Gallagher, Keneally respond to bullying claim
Opposition foreign affairs spokeswoman Penny Wong has admitted she raised Kimberley Kitching’s lack of children during a meeting in 2019.
In a joint statement issued with opposition finance spokeswoman Katie Gallagher and opposition home affairs spokeswoman Kristina Keneally – tagged the “mean girls” club by Kitching – Senator Wong said she had apologised for her comments after they were first raised publicly two years ago.
“After these matters were publicly reported more than two years ago, Senator Wong discussed the matter with Senator Kitching and apologised. Senator Wong understood that apology was accepted,” the statement read.
The comments that have been reported do not reflect Senator Wong’s views, as those who know her would understand, and she deeply regrets the pain these reports have caused.
But the trio rejected allegations of bullying as “untrue”, labelling other assertions made as “similarly inaccurate”.
They will all attend Senator Kitching’s funeral.
As revealed by The Australian, Senator Wong called into question Kitching’s advice due to her lack of children.
“Well, if you had children, you might understand why there is a climate emergency,” Wong reportedly said.

What a dumb thing to say.
Many…many people have children, and grandchildren and don’t think there’s a “climate emergency”.
Looks like Wong has an incurable intelligence emergency.
Well, they would say that, wouldn’t they?
Ms. Kitching may be deceased but there seem to be witnesses who might shed some light on the truth or otherwise of these allegations.
The ordinary person accused of bullying in the workplace doesn’t get to avoid close scrutiny of their actions, why should potential lawmakers?

Ukraine conflict: Putin lays out his demands in Turkish phone call
The Russian demands fall into two categories.
So, aside from the NATO issue, gimmes, largely for Russian domestic consumption.
So, the Black Sea coast and a Russian land bridge to the Crimea. Presumably the guts of the whole adventure.
While the West has put Zelensky on a pedestal, his situation in Ukraine is rather more constrained by domestic realities, his leadership during the war notwithstanding .
There are forces in Ukraine that he has little or no control over, which goes some way to explaining why he never managed to get Ukraine to honour the Minsk Protocols.
Even if he gives Putin what he wants, the latter would likely face some sort of insurgency in eastern Ukraine for years to come, hence the request for “deNazification.” Good luck!
Speedbox, I’d appreciate your take on this. It is broadly in line with what I reckon the Russians are try to do, and their style of war. It brought up a couple of things I wasn’t aware of, but overall I’ve never thought they wanted to go west of the river or completely crush Ukraine unless they had to.

The narrative fail going on here is priceless. (Imagine if women ran the world! There would be no war, no violence, no animosity blah blah blah.)
But the question still remains – what *really* caused the death of Ms Kitching? Because, amusing as the above is, it is a smokescreen. I don’t believe for a second she died of a massive heart attack brought on by stress and workplace bullying.

This was down further on the comment BoN had on Chris Reason. How anyone can vote for this rabble is more flabber than gasting. Australian voters are so stupid they will actually vote for Albosleazy, same shit, different bucket.
I don’t know if anyone here reads the Australian. I am afraid it is a habit ( to read a morning paper) hard to break. It seems the Oz has gone all PUTIN EVIL.

Also removes someone who’s a blatant liability at this point, although I don’t know who’s going to slot in. Harris is just as bad so I can’t see her lasting.
Unsent message received. Loud and clear.
Will try not to cause more undue work on your part, Doverlord.
You’re looking more muscular than usual today. It’s very noticeable. In a non-gay way.
They are particular sorts of feminists of the left, exclusionary and at best patronising of any woman who doesn’t feel their feelz and live their lifestyles. It’s the lifestyle that matters, where the circuitry of interaction is constantly limited to those ‘in the know’. I have great sympathy for Kimberley Kitching having to deal with them in the course of her political duties. I have every idea of the disloyalty twists they would put on whatever she said, of the condescention that would skate over her opinions and suggestions, of the various ways in which she would be excluded from important decision-making that due to the senior position she held she had every right to be present for, and at the general fervor against her that would be whipped up because she was ‘not one of us’.
She was pushing the proverbial uphill as a Senator in that context. Her wide group of friends beyond the inner-sanctum circle would have infuriated them.
None of the usual suspects in my Faculty came to my retirement afternoon-tea, although a lot more than fifty people from the wider university and other friendly associates turned up in droves.
I’m watching the death of comments in real time. It’s like the Carthaginians in Gladiator!
In other news of nature red in tooth and claw, I have just spied an enormous lace monitor in next door’s melaleucas. It is a notorious chick and egg thief, and would probably go one of the smaller water fowl. It has been watching the water’s edge intently – the wood ducks are raising their third clutch of the season.
At risk of outing myself with information, even though it was now over twenty years ago, against all odds I did manage to bring in a regular almost a million dollars a year in ‘gross’ external funding for that Faculty. I wonder now why I bothered but I guess I still had ideals about universities and education back then.
Is there smoting?

Another triumph of sub-editing from the Herald Sun. The headline:
It’s the non-explosive bombings you need to watch out for.
Bluey – Certainly sounds like it. But then what? Mz Cackle is showing herself to be seriously incompetent at anything except self preservation. And if she gets booted the next in line is Pelosi, who lately is sounding increasingly Alzheimer’s affected. I don’t know who’s next in line after that.
Rinse and repeat.
They hunt in groups of three.
Interesting that the aspiring leader has been cut out of the current batch. I don’t think that’s an accident.

But likely Harris will end up sworn in and struggling her way through what remains of Biden’s term if he goes any time soon.
Chilling photo, but at the time they probably thought it showed strength or something.
That is a very good question. I don’t know of anyone who would be able to pull back from the brink the way the US is now. It’s pretty clear now that there is a power behind the throne somewhere, so I suppose the question will be more who they can manipulate or control while still having enough appeal to quiet down the internal problems. Harris/Pelosi/etc. are definitely not that.
On the other hand it might go full on accelerationist. Civil unrest/war, massive crackdowns on those to the right of the current administration. Bit hard to pick. Or it might just be they are retarded muppets and really do think they’re doing a good job.
Meanwhile in the NT, the spearman from the other day has somehow disappeared from media attention.
This is a bloke running amok near a primary school, then tasered, shot, and carted off to hospital.
No mention of his name, whether he has been charged, if not has he been bailed and if so why? is he still alive? How many times did he get hit; what happened to the spear (NT Police Museum?) and so on.
The released facts that he was 19, of an indigenous extraction – the same age as Walker! – might not have something to do with that, mmm?
They are ushering in a new world order, only it will be a multipolar order rather than the Western hegemony they imagine they can still impose upon the world.
Not a bad thing given how fucking fucked the west has proven to be over the last two years.
I don’t know much about Gallagher…although the few times I’ve watched her I’ve found her to be a mediocrity, I remember an unpleasant exchange a few years ago when she was asked questions at a Senate committee hearing and she accused a Senator Mitch Fifield of “mansplaining her”.
But the other two….they both have a long history of nasty behaviour. Keneally is well known for her mean girl nastiness.
I note the silence of Hanson-Dung and Steggall re. Kitching, remember how, shortly before Christmas, both appeared flanking Rachelle Miller in a MSM stunt…..to accuse Alan Tudge of bullying Miller (he’s since been cleared but we all knew he was innocent). I shouldn’t be surprised, neither of them have spoken up to condemn the behaviour towards Nicolle Flint.
The sisterhood is selective, very selective.
Dover, in spite of perhaps copping a bit of it, I think the clean-up is a very good idea.
Thank you for taking control.

Hypocrites
I hope someone tells them they are not wanted and not worth spitting on.
They’re gorgeous. Once we were on hols and a lace monitor decided to check out our tinny, which was on its trailer. Bit of serious climbing to get into the boat on the trailer, but the smell of fish was irresistible.
At which time we returned to the camp. Lace monitor went oh shit and levitated itself out of the boat and straight into a two man tent.
Off I go into tent. Goanna is tearing apart our bedding and climbing the sides trying to escape. They aren’t especially bright. At last with a bit of chivvying the poor thing found the door and left rapidly for the bush.
My reptilian story is from yesterday. Whilst riding treadly past the golf course, here’s a pretty green tree snake climbing the netting the council had thoughtfully provided to stop golf balls bouncing off our bike helmets. Full grown with electric-blue scales along her back. I stopped a metre away and admired her until she got scared and climbed down the mesh and slid over to a ti tree on the edge of the fairway.

We have quite a few of the olive tree snakes here, or maybe it’s just the one shedding its skin often. I have a number put aside for the grandies for “show and tell” at school.
It likes to live in the courtyard, but in winter will climb into the warm gutter. The courtyard has a couple of frog ponds so an endless source of food. We used to have a colony of the tiny green tree frogs, but Mrs Snake has eaten them all.
This is the woman who wore full PPE to attend to her teenage daughter when she got the spicy cough last year, then told everyone about it on local radio to get some sympathy.
the baren bunch
Yes. And we all know that but I wonder how many ordinary women out there in employment land are really aware of much else but the Grace Tame sort of stuff – that men are awful in politics to women and women in politics and parliament are oppressed, and most of all that Scott Morrison is a woman-hater who must go. In other words, the whipped up narrative of you-go-girl.
The only hope in countering this is that the ‘mean girls’ narrative gets traction with other women, and here I am hopeful, because many women have experienced ‘mean girls’ from school and workplaces. They may see Labor’s mean girls as having contributed to parliamentary chaos rather than it being a simple equation of men bad, women good. If only the Liberals could make more of how Labor’s mean girls have dissed some very good Liberal women and driven them from politics. Liberal political women seem to be less typecast than Labor’s and this might also help show up the tight female Labor cliques for the unpleasant cabals that they are.

Lithium May Decrease Risk of Developing Dementia
It definitely has some neuroprotective properties. The therapeutic dose for bipolar is so very close to the toxicity limit for kidney damage. Lithium in the water supply correlates with lower suicide risk. Mechanism of action poorly understood but it is known to boost a key neuroprotective factor, brain derived neurotrophic factor, which is often depleted in neurodegenerative conditions.
It can’t be purchased in Aus but can be purchased through iHerb. For regular use follow the dosage on the bottle because that is so low it presents no health risk but for myself and it provides pleasant dreams.
Hmmm …

Good luck with that. Upon enquiring why I can’t lift my arm above 90 degrees and being in chronic pain…it was glibly passed off as a “side effect”. Four months and counting.
They can inject the sh*t into their own eyeballs.
Last night I was thinking about consistently reporting comments from one person here because their behavior reeked of trolling. Not Struth or SRR, as much as a disagree with them I don’t think they are trolling.
This might become interesting. I have a suspicion that ever increasing numbers of people will refuse booster jabs. Governments could find themselves in real trouble if they attempt to enforce restrictions on those who refuse boosters. I’d rather contract omicron, which appears almost inevitable anyway, than face the prospect of a booster every 3-6 months.
Memory of an elephant.
Just. Don’t.
I feel sorry for the ones who are made to do it by their employers – aged care is an example. Even if you have zero contact with patients and work in admin. And have already contracted and recovered from Covid.
It is utterly insane and malignant.
“Mean Girls”, anyone?
Probably done the rounds, but just in case…
March 16 (Reuters) – An Illinois appeals court on Wednesday ordered the release of actor Jussie Smollett from jail while the one-time star of the TV drama “Empire” appeals his conviction for staging a hate crime against himself.
The 2-1 ruling by a three-judge panel noted that Smollett’s conviction was for a non-violent offense and said he could be released upon posting a $150,000 recognizance bond. It was unclear when Smollett might walk free.
Smollett has spent six nights in jail since a Cook County judge sentenced him to 150 days of confinement plus 30 months of probation, ordered him to pay over $120,000 in restitution, and fined him $25,000.
In December a jury found Smollett, 39, guilty of five counts of disorderly conduct for falsely telling police he was accosted on a dark Chicago street by two masked strangers in a racist and homophobic attack in January 2019. The investigation revealed that Smollett, who is Black and gay, paid two men to stage the attack.
Despite maintaining his innocence, Smollett lost his role as a singer-songwriter in the final season of “Empire,” a Fox television hip-hop drama that ended a five-year run in 2020.

A Republican Senate MUST hold hearings with all 50 of the people who signed that letter 3 weeks before the 2020 campaign. They all said Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation. And they didn’t have a single piece of intel to suggest it.

Have hearings if you want.
But considering how poor their advice was, they should have all their security clearances cancelled.
Maintaining some level of security clearance, long after they have left whatever roles they had is how half these guys pay the bills.
A consultancy here, another position there means another 100k plus a year to top up your taxpayer funded pension.

“Has there been further developments?”
Well, aside from the already mentioned “lynching” of the owner of the repair shop, it is perhaps pertinent to point out that the New York Slimes has quietly backtracked a little and is now saying “There is no evidence it [the laptop and emails therein] is ‘Russian disinformation’”, as opposed to their previous stand of “There’s no evidence it is real” (which, in fact, there was and is, and they not only knew it, they tracked it down themselves).
Check Glenn Grennwald’s substack for more.

It’s undeniable that a lot were forced to have the jab, I mean literally forced through the need to hold a job or via family pressure, these people are seething for the most part.
Many had them because they felt genuinely at risk.
It’s also true that way too many took the jab because they wanted to “be able to go to the club”.
In my opinion it’s these people who pushed the rate to 70%+ which, as Mater first posited, gave the psychopaths in power the political capital to cram down the mandates and segregation etc etc. They were just itching to do it.
To these people, of whom I have met more than I would like, I have a mixture of scorn and sympathy and inwardly shake my head.
To those who were one way or the other forced; don’t worry, at least you know what is right.

Sounds like they are leaning more towards “severity of sentence” than quashing the conviction.
And …
Maybe it had run it’s course but it is probable his histrionics killed off a bunch of jobs of actors and crew on “Empire”.
On a bright note, I’ve just snagged 50t of urea for $1,200/t ex Griffith.

Brings to mind the Stygian Witches. I would include an image, but while they all show them sharing a single eye, they do not depict them sharing a single tooth.
Very disappointing.
Well done.
How much area will that cover you for? And will it only do this season? Or a bit longer?
Many people also got vaccinated, well before vaccine mandates and passports, because covid represented a risk to their health.
Ture. And then there’s the ones who wanted to see their family, their children and grandchildren. They too were blackmailed, not with the threat of loss of jobs, but blackmail of the emotional type.
Friends in WA in this situation and as their kids are interstate they still – still – have not been able to see them for over two years despite 2 jabs.
Just put a watch battery under your tongue in the morning and you will feel a little more charged everyday.
Oh, my Lordy wordy yes.
His VexNews blog took no prisoners and made for salacious reading.
He could be particularly caustic, particularly towards wankers like Stephen Mayne.
I suspect he ditched it to clear the way for Kimberley’s political career.
That impediment has now sadly disappeared.
I hope so, too. I’d been thinking about how he’s taking all of ‘mean girls’ stuff and I suspect he won’t be lying down.
Fauci reappeared overnight.
Looks like he had something removed from his forehead.
Either that or it’s a lesion.
Which would be ironic.
