Although in 1775 Patrick Henry claimed in an op-ed that he had said that line in the Virginia Statehouse, none of the legislatures could remember Henry ever saying anything that even remotely resembled his claimed quote.

Note for political cartoonists: Russian propagandist and hacker mills are going after political cartoonists now by blocking sites and denial of service attacks.
Cloudflare has announced that it is working to prevent these problems. It might be a good thing for GoComics to look into.
We are not employed by Cloudflare and have no economic interest in them. This is just a news piece we ran into today that might help GoComics, its political cartoonists, and those of us who appreciate their work.
Since my mailed GoComics collection arrived without any picture content today, forcing me to use the website I found the notice an interesting coincidence, since those attacks could have exactly this result.
Dastardly CNN also announced this morning some possible good new, Bonespurs’ advisors may finally have come up with the gumption to advise him of the wisest course for himself and the nation: “SHUT THE “F…” UP!!!!”
I have a sneaky suspicion that some percentage of those infected will be like Typhoid Mikes (or Marys); their immune system basically fights SARS-CoV2 to a draw – it doesn’t kill them, but never fully leaves their bodies, either.
These folks would be walking around spreading the virus readily, long after symptoms fade.
That’s the impression I am getting from some of the WHO history curves.
The fade-down is likely going to take much longer than the build-up….
Since when has your liberty been given priority over anyone else’s? So if you have liberty to do as you please, I have to give up mine? It ain’t happening.

That they will not listen to sound expert advice because they have been brainwashed to believe that reality is fake is the saddest thing of all.

The Covid Liberation Front militia say it’s their bodies and their choice. Then it should be the same for a woman with a foisted on pregnancy.
