Today is federal holiday, so the private sector will be working without banking and mail.
Meanwhile states and sanctuary cities blame their illegal alien overpopulation problem on Abbott, totally disregarding the many thousands more that being trafficked at the hands of the Biden administration.
In a similar vein, the reaction to the Wuhan Lung Rot distracts from the real disease problem accompanying those unvetted, unexamined, and unvaccinated individuals.

The truth is we don’t even need a guy like McGinn to tell us we are unprotected from infectious diseases migrating to America. Common sense alone would tell you our ability to screen at the border is poor. The number of illegals crossing is too many. The border is understaffed. Congress isn’t funding the border effectively. The screening we are doing is mostly by self-report. Much of the potential disease is likely asymptomatic at the time of crossing. Busloads and planeloads of people are appearing in cities all over America. It is no wonder there have been spikes in TB and Measles in major urban areas.
***
In addition, McGinn told UncoverDC that the screening and vaccination requirements are inconsistent. He also claims that “DHS has no protocols in place to randomly sample all a portion of all persons coming across the border for all the potential diseases that these persons might have. They are placed in a vector-rich environment with poor circulation and ten times too many people inside at many of these detention centers, with plastic drapes that trap viruses. These same people are being immediately put on buses and airplanes to further increase the spread of disease before being dropped off in most towns and major urban centers across our country. There is no effort to inform counties or cities what are the health challenges they are facing, and no requirement, like are required of Green Card applicants who are living in the same areas across the country as are the 10’s of millions coming into our country across our southern border.
DHS isn’t even trying to protect its own employees, says McGinn:
“While neglecting their own employees and U.S. citizens’ health, OHS Acting CMO Wolfe takes great pride in receiving an award for vaccinating employees who were required to be vaccinated with a vaccine that in time will be shown to create a grossly unacceptable number of adverse reactions. DHS could have easily collected the health data instead of seeking awards. And, instead of health security, there is a neglect of voluntary record gathering across all DHS components. For example, DHS should attend to] the reporting of cases, monitoring impact and risk of exposure, effective oversight of its resources and training of DHS employees, conducting traceouts and follow adverse vaccine reactions (for COVID), monitor stress, implement sleep deprivation recommendations studied by our government to the tune of millions in taxpayer dollars, investigate disease clusters. The DHS should demonstrate the ability to do what most physicians are educated and experienced in managing: disaster medicine, epidemiology and infectious diseases. Most would likely agree the DHS Office of Health Security should rightly be labeled the Gold Medal Office of Health Insecurity.”

What diseases are we talking about? The Department of Health and Human Services
identifies many of them. In 2020, their focus was on “Tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, gonorrhea, congenital syphilis, hepatitis A and B, and bacterial enteric diseases (e.g., listeriosis, non-typhoid Salmonellosis, vibriosis).”
Measles outbreaks continue to widen, according to
ABC7NY. The CDC states on the same website there is a need to “monitor, control, and prevent the occurrence and spread of about 120 health conditions.”

TB is airborne – just standing next to someone could transfer the germ. I caught TB in the fourth grade from one of my Dad’s buddies. Fortunately my immune system was strong enough to fight it off.
***
Immigrants who lawfully apply for a visa must undergo health screenings and show they are vaccinated, and refugees are screened for TB before entering the U.S. Not so for those wading across the Rio Grande. Nationwide, 6,009 of the 8,300 people with TB in 2022 were foreign-born, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Florida was slammed with a 21% increase in TB since 2020. Texas border counties have a TB rate triple the national average.

Yes, Joe – you did that.
Well we did the Richard Milhous Nixon Library and it was very interesting. My son didn’t really know anything about Nixon except that he was almost impeached and had something to do with Watergate but he learned a lot about Nixon and now thinks he was a pretty good President. I know he learned a lot because he explained it… Read more »

Will a Harris County grand jury indict a man for shooting a thief who stole his BBQ grill right out of his backyard ? The robbery victim might get charged with homicide in New York or Philadelphia, but in Texas I am not so sure. Stealing somebody’s grill/pit is like stealing his horse.

And they wonder why people are leaving NYC in droves. Protect yourself and cargo and you end up in jail instead of the illegal alien perp.

Tedtam, you’d be horrified at some of the things I saw at various Children’s Hospitals – I know I was… Some of us took turns touching the parts that weren’t injured, so that they could learn that all human touch is not filled with pain.
Such a sad story: a 3 year old girl is beaten to death by a 10 and a 12 year old, while the “responsible adults” left the children home alone while they gambled. They were wont to leave 8 kids alone often, and both of the mothers knew of the violent tendencies of the pre-teens. Their children had asked for… Read more »
Bsue – the Dome has no attic.
That’s why squirrels running across the roof remind me of tiny buffalo.
When the planes fly by, everything on the TV gets all wavy and static-y. When you have 20 of ’em landing one after the other, it gets annoying. Channel 2 has always been difficult for reception.
Brother Phil
Well considering it is Tom doing a somewhat slow song I was thinking maybe………..
Tedtam – we put ours in the attic – and most of the time, it’s great! And we’re a LOT farther from the stations than ya’ll are. Ya’ll ought to get great reception (with this type antenna – but you’d have to ask Squawk what that is LOL – but it cost less than ya’ll pay for one month of… Read more »
Tedtam Here is an article you would be interested in, I believe.

I just got a text from “Jim” informing me that early voting begins tomorrow.
I did not know that.
Are there any Libertarians on the ballot?

Dang. I thought killing the blog was Dave’s super power.
If I put an antenna on it, I could get the free local stuff; haven’t done that yet. Hubby and I have discussed cable cutting several times. Our problem is that our location, especially its proximity to the airport, has real issues with a TV antenna. The indoor antennas that we used to use would have to be moved, depending… Read more »
#29 You’d think that’d be illegal, somehow. Opening elections and elections offices to people who aren’t citizens is just destroying the concept of citizenship.

Finally checking in. I made two rosaries today, since the first one went to quickly and my new wire arrived yesterday. The wire is a heckuva lot thinner than what I thought I ordered.

It’s amazing how lines of corruption so often trail all the way back to the southern law firms (from East Texas to Georgia) who got filthy rich off of the tobacco wars.
What a bunch of scumbags.
Good chilly morning, Hamsters. Was 31 when I got up to feed Purrscilla at 6 this morning, and windy. Winter has reclaimed our area again.

Morning, gang. I’m enjoying my breakfast, but feeling sleepy. All 6 of the house cats have fallen asleep since they had their breakfast. I may do the same, as soon as I finish mine.

I was thinking Musk Starlink satellite set up.
Never mind.
Perhaps Earthlink is the wrong name, Wife did it and I got some details fuzzy. It is a 1 gig fiberoptic line from the trunk line that runs under my back yard.

I think it would be more effective if Governor Abbott would start sending busloads of illegals to Pelosi’s front door….twice a week.

Just wanted to make sure you looked cool in all you do. We do not need any faux pas in public.

Yessir, 1000 cc and around 150-175 HP at 11,000RPM. Our motor runs great but probably has lost some but we run with most of them in the straights. We have a quick change rear so we can dial in proper gear at the different tracks.
Yesterday I cut the cable, no more xfinity. Headcrusher got the TV wirelessly hooked up to the new EarthLink 1 gig fiber cable and rigged our phones to be remotes.

It’s almost 7 AM here and not a creature is stirring,…I can’t believe the girls aren’t up yet. On Friday when we were off to the Mouse Kingdom they were up right after me, about 5 AM. 😉
GJT so it’s actually outside the engine but is splined into the timing case cover so you have to remove the cover and replace the seal when putting it back together. Not a bad job but it could have been made where you didn’t have to drip oil anywhere. Oh and I guess the engine is about 1000 CC’s and… Read more »

You can see the starter body but the shaft end goes towards the front with a splined gear on it which meshes with the cam and crank gears. It is a tight fit.
My #6 Better shot of sister.
Dang that’s a big ‘em!
#4 GJT, so you can’t even see the starter without taking the end cover off?! Crazy.
On this day in 2016 my sister got her a new tractor (new to her). I bet you can’t guess the brand? 😉
*Starter began to go out last couple of races last year, it was hit or miss. If in the pits I could tap on the starter to get it going but if on the track had to be push started.
Going to be nice weather all week so I’m going to borrow my tractor and trailer back from my son to get my trimming done around the property. He’s been using it to prep for his new building going up while I have been using his zero turn. Later this week we are going to get started getting the race… Read more »
Had a nice combined birthday dinner yesterday for the boys with all our little family at Schilleci’s New Orleans Kitchen in The Woodlands. A bit pricey but oh man it was good, I think it is right there with Pat’s of Henderson in Lake Charles good. Crawfish étouffée and bread pudding was to die for as they say.
GJT Ha! Working on the dishwasher as we speak. Naw just having my first cup of coffee, it’s about 5 AM here and I’ve only been up 15 minutes or so. 55 and rainy here in Moorpark but only a 50/50 chance today so we should be good to go to the Nixon Library.
