Nelson Co. family files $650M lawsuit for ‘forced quarantine’ after alleged fake COVID result
ELIZABETHTOWN, Ky. (WAVE) – A Nelson County family filed a federal lawsuit against the state and local governments, among others for $650 million after they claim a hospital falsified COVID-19 test results and forced them to quarantine by placing armed deputies around their home in March 2020.

According to the lawsuit, Michael Hager is a first responder who has COPD and emphysema. On March 10, 2020, Hager had to be hospitalized after his oxygen levels dropped.

Two days later, as Hager was being discharged, the lawsuit said his doctors told him he tested positive for COVID-19.

However, Hager claimed he was never tested for the virus during his stay at UofL Hospital.

According to the Hagers’ attorney, Michael Hamilton, Hager’s wife asked to speak to the doctor who diagnosed him with COVID-19. The hospital staff said an administrator diagnosed Hager, and they weren’t available to speak.

“Diagnosed” by an unnamed “administrator” who doesn’t talk to patients. It all went downhill from there.

A few hours later, the woman returned in a marked vehicle reading “Lincoln Trail Health Department,” with the Nelson County Sheriff, Ramon Pineiroa, and a deputy, Hamilton said.

Pineiroa presented the family with an Ex Parte Order for Protective Services, granting the health department “immediate emergency guardianship” of Hager, according to the lawsuit, claiming the man was “in a state of abuse and neglect.”

Not wanting to be left out of the fun, KY Gov. Beshear “outed” the family, opening them up to public harassment.

The defendants better start bringing the Hagers truckloads of money to settle out of court.

Doesn’t everyone carry while mowing?

I used to joke that kinky is when you use a feather…

…and perverted was using the whole chicken.

It was a joke, pervert.

Indiana Egg Farmer Transported to Hospital With a Live Adult Chicken Stuck in His Rectal Cavity
A farm owner from Shelbyville in Indiana was transported to the hospital in a critical condition late last night with an extremely agitated hen more than half-buried in his rectum.

There isn’t enough alcohol in the world to make me think that’s…

“I don’t really know how the bird got there, both getting it out was so complicated and damaging that I can’t imagine that getting it in could have been any fun either.”

I don’t think we pay EMS nearly enough.

A short column at TZP.

ONE POINT TO REMEMBER ABOUT CONSTITUTIONAL CARRY
I see that Indiana has become the 24th state to pass licenseless constitutional carry. While I personally think that’s good (and hopefully my own state will be joining the club soon), there is one little thing for gun owners to remember before they opt out of licensing.

18 U.S. Code § 922.

A gas “rebate” bribe Some corrections are in order.

Thompson, Larson, Underwood Introduce Bill to Provide Energy Rebate to Consumers BRIBE Voters
Washington – Today, Reps. Mike Thompson (CA-05), John Larson (CT-01), and Lauren Underwood (IL-14) introduced the Gas Rebate Act of 2022 to address high gas prices by sending Americans an energy rebate of $100 per month (and $100 for each dependent) for the rest of 2022 in any month where the national average gas prices exceed $4.00 per gallon.

“Americans are feeling the impact at the pump of Vladimir Putin’s illegal invasion of Ukraine, and right now we must work together on commonsense policy solutions to ease the financial burden that my constituents are feeling,” said Thompson. “The Putin BIDEN Price Hike is putting strain on our economy, and I am proud to be working with Reps. Larson and Underwood to introduce this legislation to provide middle-class Americans with monthly payments to ease the financial burden of this global crises.”

So long as you’re offering very thinly-veiled bribes, how ’bout meat, dairy, vegetable, Internet, and electricity “rebates”?

Yeah, my Internet bill just jumped two bucks per month, and will jump an additional three dollars next month, due “to the rising costs of providing high quality service and support.”

University of Ottawa plans panel on journalists getting ‘mean tweets’
“It’s no secret that journalists have faced increasing harassment over the past few years,” it continues, citing an IPSOS survey of Canadian journalists in November 2021 that found that 72 percent had experienced some form of harassment over the past year, with 65 percent of this abuse occurring online.
“From personal attacks to accusations of bias or being ‘fake news,’ negativity directed at journalists can have a serious impact on when and how credible information is shared and found,” it states.

Back when I had a working Twitter account, my hobby was tweeting story corrections to News4Jax reporters.* There was one woman reporter who was good for a sarcastic correction at least once per week. She finally blocked me after…. I think it was the story where she reported that the Jacksonville fire department had bought 155 pound ballistic vests. (I also brought that report to the attention of the vest company, who were mildly amused by her idiocy.)

Urinalists don’t want “mean” tweets? Then they could try accurate, unbiased reporting just once.

* Some gems from News4Jax were the sun setting earlier than usual, Georgia’s senators being Florida’s senators, and misplacing an active tornado by several miles. I only kept them in my bookmarks as long as I did for the laughs.

When I lived in Turkey. I put in the Logan’s Run tape and fastforward it to the scene in the cat-infested Capitol. Tropo would go nuts trying to get to those cats. Yeah, he would circle the television.

Ukraine putting out a statement that captured Russian arms and armor doesn’t count as taxable income was pretty good. But this one is even better in a way. It’ll certainly be more — internationally — profitable.

The picture reflects the dramatic and brief radio dialogue that was recorded while Ukrainian soldiers defended the island in the Odessa region. There, a Kremlin warship communicates with those stationed on the small island land asking them to surrender. In the message, an invading sailor told the Ukrainian military: “This is a Russian military warship. I suggest you lay down your arms and surrender to avoid unnecessary bloodshed and casualties. Otherwise, they will be bombed.”

However, the Ukrainian troops defiantly refused to leave the territory, replying: “Russian warship, fuck you!” Minutes later, artillery fire began.

They’ll be selling sheets of those stamps around the world.

No. So far as I’m aware, I do not know anyone who’s done that.

“How many times have you heard – I bet everybody knows somebody somewhere along the line, that in an intimate relationship, what happened was the guy takes a revealing picture of his naked friend, or whatever, in a compromising position and then literally blackmails…that person.. send it out online.”
— Joe Biden, 3/16/2022

Certainly I haven’t done it.

Now, I know of someone who did it; a guy by the name of Hunter Biden. But please, Gropin’ Joe, don’t judge the rest of us by your fucked up family.

But I must admit that my first thought on seeing this headline was, “Yeah, but what a way to go.”

Japan: Suicides by Women Up for Second Year in a Row

I partially attribute it to having already seen a slew of “suicide by gun” articles this morning. And a lack of coffee. But it could have been written differently, and slightly shorter.
