    Devoted dog spends days
    outside Turkish hospital waiting
    for owner



    Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rdaDrJjiHM



    By Yaron Steinbuch

    January 22, 2021


    "A faithful dog waited outside a hospital in Turkey for almost a week until her owner was released after being treated for a brain condition.

    The devoted pooch, named Boncuk, followed the ambulance that took Cemal Senturk, 68, to the hospital in the Black Sea city of Trabzon on Jan. 14, news agency DHA reported.

    Bonuck — whose name means “beads,” in reference to her hazel eyes — then returned every morning to the entrance to continue her lonely vigil, where hospital staff would sometimes feed her.

    “She doesn’t pose a danger to anyone. Everybody noticed the relationship between the dog and her owner. It makes everybody happy,” hospital rep Fuat Ugur said, according to Reuters.

    Security guard Muhammet Akdeniz told DHA: “She comes every day around 9 a.m. and waits until nightfall. She doesn’t go in. When the door opens, she pokes her head inside.”

    Senturk’s daughter, Aynur Egeli, said she tried to take Boncuk home several times but the dog would race right back to the hospital.

    When Senturk was finally released Wednesday, an overjoyed Boncuk ran alongside his wheelchair, jumping up to be petted and wagging her tail.

    “It makes a person very happy. The dog is very close to us, like a human being, and it makes you happy,” Senturk said.

    “She’s very used to me. And I miss her too, constantly,” he added."

    Dr. Anthony Fauci: Divisiveness has failed America
    "in every single way"

    CBS Sunday Morning



    "Sunday Morning" senior contributor Ted Koppel talks about the latest efforts to address the coronavirus pandemic with the Biden administration's chief medical advisor, Dr. Anthony Fauci, who says the goal of 100 million vaccinations in 100 days is entirely achievable. Fauci also discusses how politicization of public health measures (like wearing masks), mixed messaging from the Trump White House, and claims that COVID-19 is a hoax have thwarted America's efforts to limit the pandemic's toll.

    It’s time to stand up against the
    muzzling of America



    By Josh Hawley


    January 24, 2021



    Sen. Josh Hawley says now is the time to stand up to censorship.

    "Have you checked your social credit score lately? You might want to. Mine seems to have taken a nosedive this month. You might want to see how yours is doing.

    Everyone knows what a credit score is. But social credit scores are new. They’re the latest corporate import from Communist China, where government and big business monitor every citizen’s social views and statements.

    And they’re the latest form of cancel culture in this country, as corporate monopolies and the left team up to shut down speech they don’t like and force their political agenda on America. For those who still believe in free speech and the First Amendment, this is the time to take a stand.

    Like the old-fashioned kind of credit score, your social credit requires a lot of maintenance. You’ll need to get good grades in school and stay out of trouble with the law. But that’s just the start — you have to earn your right to live in polite society these days. So if you want to get a good job, stay at hotels and be served at restaurants, you will need to do a few other things. You will need to voice the right opinions. You will need to endorse the right ideas. You will need to conform. That’s what the corporate chieftains tell us, anyway.

    They tried to reprimand me this month because I didn’t. On behalf of the voters of my state, I raised a challenge to the presidential electors from Pennsylvania after that state conducted the election in violation of the state constitution. Maybe you agree with me. Maybe you don’t. But whatever your view, corporate America’s rush to cancel those it dislikes should trouble you.

    In my case, it started with leftist politicians demanding I resign from office for representing the views of my constituents and leading a democratic debate on the floor of the Senate.

    Taking that cue, a corporate publishing house then canceled a book it had asked me to write. Ironically enough, the book is about political censorship by the most powerful corporations in America. (And will be published by an independent publishing house.) Now corporate America is cancelling my political events, because two parties are apparently one too many for their taste.

    It will get worse. The tech titans have already booted dozens of conservatives off social media, and if they have their way half the House Republican conference will be expelled from Congress. The corporate titans seem to believe that the only way to get a democracy to their liking is to eliminate all threats to the Democratic Party’s unified control of government.

    The alliance of leftists and woke capitalists hopes to regulate the innermost thoughts of every American, from school age to retirement. And they’ve trained enforcers of the woke orthodoxy to monitor dissent or misbehavior. A “Karen” who cuts the wrong person off in traffic gets followed home on a livestream and shamed into crying for mercy as her license plate is broadcast to an online hoard eager to hound her out of a job.

    Everyone knows it can happen to them, so everyone shuts down. The circle of trust narrows. Conversations — too easily recorded — shift to encrypted messaging apps. For now. Until those get banned too for interfering in efficient social credit markets.

    For some time, conservatives, recognizing that we’re now the counterculture, indulged in the delusion that we could opt out of all this. We’d send our kids to schools that don’t teach all the woke stuff. We’d make our friends at church, not at work, and take comfort that trust and openness were still possible in communities of shared purpose. We’d vote our conscience, because the ballot box was something no election could take from us.

    And if ever our political organizing were impeded by censorship — say, by the big tech giants — we could build our own platforms.

    But the left and the corporations are challenging all of this now. Your “conservative” social platform isn’t worth much when Amazon can shut it down. Your vote may still be yours, but if your party is denied the means to effectively organize by corporate monopolies, it’s not going to win. Your church, well, you can still attend for now, but go to the wrong church and you may not have a job in a few years.

    Here’s the good news. The cancel culture agenda will only succeed if we let it. We need live in fear only if we choose to say nothing. In this time of testing, conservatives must not shrink back. We need to stand up for the right of every American to be heard.

    We need to stand up for the basic principles that join all Americans together — the right to speak freely, to debate openly, and to address our differences graciously without fear of being silenced or punished for dissenting views.

    I for one am not going to back down. My book will be published, and I will continue to represent the people of my state without fear or favor, whatever the left or the corporations say.

    The powerful see in the present moment an opportunity to consolidate their control over society and to squelch dissent. That means those who believe in the First Amendment and the fundamental principles of American liberty must now take a stand, while we still can."

    Sen. Josh Hawley is a Republican representing Missouri.

    Question

    The Great Reset - World Economic Forum - Davos 2021

    LegaliseFreedom1


    'The Great Reset' is the subject of the 2021 World Economic Forum meeting taking place in Davos, Switzerland during January. Much has been written about this so-called 'Great Reset', how it relates to the COVID-19 pandemic, and also to the likely collapse of the US Dollar as the World's reserve currency. Meanwhile, economic inequality and social unrest are on the rise. Planetary tipping points also exist within fossil fuel supplies and environmental systems. In the spirit of never letting a crisis go to waste, will COVID-19 be used as a vehicle to usher in 'The Great Reset': political, economic, and social change on an unprecedented scale?

    Josh might be a bit confused about the freedom of speech.

    He doesn't have the right to yell fire in a theater.

    He doesn't have the right to foment insurrection. Nor does a President.

    Folks have been fortunate to have a free platform to broadcast their voices around the world and form alliances, etc.

    Seems a little ungrateful to use this platform to attack the nation which provided the foundation for that platform.

    These insurrectionists didn't start twitter and they've conspired against the government which created the internet that their twitter is on.

    They look like a bunch of ingrates. And that's the nice part.
