All Quarked Up

 Thank you Instapundit The CDC's study says In July 2021, following multiple large public events in a Barnstable County, Massachusetts, town, 469 COVID-19 cases were identified among Massachusetts residents who had traveled to the town during July 3–17; 346 (74%) occurred in fully vaccinated persons. Testing identified the Delta variant in 90% of specimens from 133 patients. Cycle threshold values were similar among specimens from patients who were fully vaccinated and those who were not. So, let's lay some groundwork (thank you Twitchy ): Town population less than 3,000 County population about 220,000 40,000 people show up for "Bear Week", a week of gay celebration for people, many of who just spent the week before "Pride partying" in NYC One of the more popular bars "resembles a kind of dank dungeon where sweat drips from the ceiling and mold reaches up the walls" A large number of the people there are going for the sex.  Note: gay men having se...

The case is  303 Creative LLC v. Elenis ; the majority opinion is by Judge Mary Briscoe, joined by Judge Michael Murphy, with a dissent by Chief Judge Timothy Tymkovich. Thinking some more about this case, I'm beginning to wonder if the judge who wrote the opinion was doing it as a "false flag" operation.  Now, both of the judges who voted for it are Clinton appointees, so they may just be this deranged.

A comment   "Once again, we see the confusion of citizenship and migration" Once again, we see your utter dishonesty and motte and bailey bullshit 1: The post is about how the US should not be able to deny either migration or citizenship, with all the rights and privileges thereof, to anyone, anywhere in the world 2: You personally argued to support that position (see post including "accidentally be born here") 3: To be a "country", be it city-state or empire, is to be a polity that claims the power to control the land and people within its borders, including the ability to decide who is allowed to come in, how is allowed to operate there, and who is required to leave 4: To claim the power to kick people out is to claim the power to decide who is allowed in.  Because there's no point to kicking someone out if they can just come back in whenever they want 5: The power to decide who is allowed in and who isn't does not imply the responsibility to alw...
