San Francisco to Hand Out Free Shots of Vodka to Homeless Alcoholics [...] San Francisco is always trying to help, such as through its needle exchange program to provide homeless drug addicts with clean needles. But what about homeless alcoholics? What's the plan to get them off the street? There is no plan. The best plan the city could come up with is to give homeless alcoholics shots of vodka for the health.

Fulton County Missing More Than 380,000 Ballot Images From Election Day [...] There's no questioning the 2020 election. It just isn't done. If you think there were some sketchy situations, you were deemed an "election denier" and banned from Jake Tapper's show (which often features Stacey Abrams as a guest). Fulton County, Georgia — where District Attorney Fani Willis calls home — is still investigating that flawless election, and the Georgia Election Board was just informed that more than 380,000 ballot images from the election are "not available."

Very clear reasoning how Bidementia's hoodlums hosed their own case. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ FBI Bungling May Collapse Mar-a-Lago Case Against Trump [...] Imagine the documents "discovered" by the FBI at Mar-A-Lago as a deck of cards. Smith criminally charged Trump with intentionally possessing a small number of those documents, which we can imagine represented by the ace of spades. Until recently, we assumed the former president took the entire deck of cards with him when he left the White House. It turns out, however, that the deck was cut. He shipped everything above the cut when he was president. We've now learned that the Biden administration's General Services Administration (GSA) sent the bottom of the deck to Mar-A-Lago after Trump left office.

Useful information and food for thought. What do you plan to do, and why? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you have an Android phone or tablet, Google will email you soon - if it hasn't already - to say your device will automatically beam its location anonymously to strangers' compatible gadgets nearby. It's to help find lost devices. Apple has been doing this for several years with iPhones, Macs, the Apple Watch and other devices. That's how its AirTags work - by pinging everyone's nearby Apple devices to triangulate location. Google is letting you opt out of the company's similar "Find My" network. What should you do?

~~~~~~~~~~ Clever: Jews Charging Up Space Laser Tell Everyone Those Are Just The Northern Lights JERUSALEM — A spokesman for the Israeli military confirmed yesterday that the colorful lights seen over most of the northern hemisphere were a completely natural phenomenon and were definitely not caused by the Jews charging up their space laser. "Those eerie lights are no cause for concern," the spokesman told reporters. "That was just the aurora borealis, more commonly known as the northern lights. It was certainly not the background radiation caused by charging up the energy core on the laser cannon on our secret space station. We definitely don't have one of those."

'I'm Outraged At Accusations I've Taken The Side Of Hamas,' Says Angry Biden Wearing New Keffiyeh WASHINGTON, D.C. — At a press conference held at the White House today, a keffiyeh-wearing President Joe Biden pushed back against accusations that he has sided with Hamas in its ongoing conflict with Israel.

Massive Solar Storm Will Cause Communications Disruptions and Awesome Displays of Northern Lights The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced Thursday that a "severe" G4 geomagnetic storm would hit the Earth perhaps as early as Friday. The "very rare" warning hasn't been issued in 20 years. The radiation will almost certainly wreak havoc on some communications. "Geomagnetic storms can impact infrastructure in near-Earth orbit and on Earth's surface, potentially disrupting communications, the electric power grid, navigation, radio and satellite operations," the NOAA said.

Is This Biden's 'Supermarket Scanner' Moment? Those of us who've been around a while remember when the press made an epic deal out of President George H.W. Bush's apparent amazement at an ordinary grocery store checkout scanner. It turns out the story was a complete media fabrication, but it fed the narrative that Bush was hopelessly out of touch, and it helped cost him his reelection. This week, Joe Biden actually did do something that shows he is perhaps the most clueless president in American history.

New analysis of Beethoven's hair reveals possible cause of mysterious ailments, scientists say High levels of lead detected in authenticated locks of Ludwig van Beethoven's hair suggest that the composer had lead poisoning, which may have contributed to ailments he endured over the course of his life, including deafness, according to new research. In addition to hearing loss, the famed classical composer had recurring gastrointestinal complaints throughout his life, experienced two attacks of jaundice and faced severe liver disease. It is believed that Beethoven died from liver and kidney disease at age 56. But the process of understanding what caused his many health problems has been a much more complicated puzzle, one that even Beethoven himself hoped doctors could eventually solve.
