In the fall of 2021, Carley Fletcher was terminated from her job at Emory University Healthcare for refusing a COVID-19 vaccine.
Fletcher’s health history included seizures and respiratory issues and she was advised by her doctor not to get the shot. Fletcher applied for a medical exemption, but her request was denied, and she was fired.

I watched one of the best videos I have seen in some time this morning... Neil Oliver hitting it out of the park as usual.
I have a transcript of the video and I encourage you to read it. Somehow, it makes more impact in the written word.

The Black Death (bubonic plague) is not simply a fearful fact in history but is still with us today.
The CDC reported that in recent decades there are about seven cases annually in the western U.S. Colorado reported 22 cases of the bubonic plague between 2005 to 2020, and the Daily Mail reported a ten-year-old girl died in early July 2021of the plague. In 2015, four people died of the plague nationwide.

I have been scanning the news from across the Western world and it is just more of the same. Everything seems to be about someone trying to shut down someone or something.
Never in the history of our Nations have we seen such brazen bias and manipulation of our history and our cultures. And now, it is all about banning Russia.

I feel compelled to share this event that happened during the tragedy of the death of my brother Derek from his car accident.
What is this life? The hardest times of your lives will never be forgotten. The amazing part is what you see when you are looking back. As you walk through that next door, sometimes you have a moment, that you realize something else was also happening during that horrible time of life. There are things in life that we don't share with everyone. I have shared this with only a few close people since this occurred. (Thank you for listening when you did).
Do you all yearn for the days when the worst that happened was having a ghost in your neighbour's home?
Such happy times!
Fortunately, for our neighbour, we had a Ghosthunter in our midst and she used magic spells that all sensitive ghosts could understand.

Natural flood plains form where floods spread silt and mud in river valleys. Being flat, fertile, picturesque and usually supplied with surface and underground water, they attract farms, orchards and gardens. These are inevitably followed by roads, houses and businesses.
Things are grim.
We have so many problems and a storm is brewing.
I suspect that we have a Big Wednesday and a frog outside our window.
"God was on the side of the nation that had the oil."

Russia is one of the world’s largest producers of petroleum, natural gas, and coal.
Kremlin-backed media outlets have been banned throughout the European Union, both on television and on apps and online platforms. RT has lost its Sky TV slot in the UK, where the outlet is also blocked on YouTube. Australian TV providers SBS and Foxtel have dropped RT, and the federal government is putting pressure on social media platforms to block Russian media in Australia.
In the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Latvia, speaking in support of the Russian invasion of Ukraine will get you years in prison.

European countries that have veered away from coal in favor of renewables are now susceptible to electricity price shocks with the continent’s main natural gas supplier being at war with Ukraine.
Apart from Poland, all member-nations of the European Union (EU) have vowed to attain net-zero emissions by 2050.
