The local news did a twenty second piece on this study.
Basically they reported that the study determined that there's no difference between the two masks. They didn't go on to say that they are useless and probably cause harm. Just that they perform equally.

Large protests can bring about change.... but the media has to broadcast the protests far and wide to amplify it's importance. AKA Black Lives Matter / Antifa bullshit. If the leftist media wouldn't have broadcast their message - they wouldn't have collected a dime.

It's all about perception and not necessarily about reality.

But if the media doesn't support the message you are trying to convey - your protest is for nothing. Just like the Jan 6 circus. The media has presented it as some seditious right wing white supremacist radicals trying to take over the government instead of it being a protest. So the media in collusion with the leftists in government - have completely twisted the messaging. The protest backfired because the media skewed the facts to back the leftists.

No peaceful protests by the right will ever accomplish anything in the USA ever again - other than as propaganda against their efforts.
There could not be any more truth to this statement.

When so called “journalists” are only interested in broadcasting and reporting on their own interests, opposing views are suppressed.

And we’ve been seeing this in our own country for years.

The only time a conservative makes the news is when they are being railroaded.

Fuck the media.
 
I am really sorry you are so angry and bitter. ALL of the world is not like that, shame you think it is, and when confronted with something that differs from your view that everything is hell.....well full on attack mode.

Now that is about as dumb as your ",Dogs only see other dogs" comment. Accusing me of being angry bitter, and mad at everything for giving my opinion on a subject. Then qualifying my opinion by talking about my personal experiences. The way you respond pretty much tells me any criticism you would have received, you would have ignored anyway.

Two people who preach; democracy; yet ignore it, when it goes against their donors' interest.

biden - "I am reluctant to override the ratification procedures and the views of those who voted against the agreement," Biden said on Monday. "But in this case -- where the economic impact of a shutdown would hurt millions of other working people and families -- I believe Congress must use its powers to adopt this deal."​
Nancy - "It is with great reluctance..."​

 

Interesting. For those who say, well what's 31K votes - enough to change a lot of things,depending on the election and the county/state size. Judges, School board, Election committee officials and more. We are not voting our way out of this.
 
So, is it official that McCarthy and McConnell will be the next R speakers or do they wait to vote until the new folks are in? Please don't laugh at mefor asking - but is it worthwhile campaigning not to budge on AWB (and revoke Red Flag while your at it), as well as not voting for the RINOs again?
 

If you don't think the WEF, UN, EU and USA are not serious about limiting free speech...
 
Interesting quote from the comment section of this article that takes a stance that I agree with.

Funny how people that are thrown in prison, held without bail or attorney, directed into blm & antifa mobs for supporting president Trump, claim it a bad thing when the people revolt against those same LEO's who extort citizens for LEO's personal financial gain.
My fellow conservatives are hopeless fools. Supporting the same LEO's that protect the criminals certifying election frauds.
Just sickening... how can anyone still support ANY LEO?
