Nothing Novel About Communist China’s Coronavirus Lies

PA Pundits - International at PA Pundits – International - 38 seconds ago
By Lee Edwards ~ Lying comes naturally to the Chinese Communist government, which will say anything to maintain its tight grip on the reins of power. Officials in Beijing continue to lie about the number of deaths in Wuhan, the epicenter of the coronavirus. The official death toll is 2,500, but some 5,000 burial urns […]

A Guide To Pandemic Sex... From The Government

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 2 minutes ago
Staten Island comedian Pete Davidson seems to have got the NYC sex guidelines for the pandemic wrong on *Saturday Night Live* this past weekend. He was right about "sex but no kissing" and wrong about what he called "heiny smoocheroos," which was widely interpreted as an OK for rimming. Rimming however, is *not* OK. I guess his main point was that it's hard to imagine that the government of New York City-- not the state-- is offering "some tips for how to enjoy sex and to avoid spreading COVID-19." Obviously, they recommend sex with your regular partner (husband, wife, monogamou... more »

Check This Funny Looking Helicopter Out: The Navy Thinks It Could Be Very Special.

Sebastien Roblin at The National Interest - 5 minutes ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * It's a pricey bet. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Previously, supplies would have to be ferried by Greyhound to a carrier, then moved by helicopter from the carrier to other surface ships in the carrier task force. The Osprey could simply land directly on many of the other surface ships—and those ships could operate farther afield thanks to the Osprey's far greater range compared to most helicopters. Only time will tell whether the pricy CMV-22B brings about the revolution in logistics the Navy is hoping for. For over fifty years, the Navy h... more »

Sophie Roborgh, Larissa Fast at The National Interest - 5 minutes ago
