It is shifting in the right direction. Last Friday, our provost sent a letter out to the faculty telling us that we were going back to "pre-pandemic" operations. The response was immediate and negative. Within 24 hours, we received notice that there was a now mask mandate based on new evidence...

The school took down all signs regarding COVID more than a month ago. We are back to face-to-face, full classes in about three weeks. No distancing. No vaccinations required. We were told we cannot make them wear masks in class or during office hours. I am worried, quite frankly.

I have been using the CDC website to track my county. https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#county-view Like it or not, the CDC has to navigate state and national politics while it also contends with a mutating virus. The combination of these features has not produced clear or consistent...

Good questions and apologies for the delay. By law, polling places have minority party and majority party observes who are part of the precinct team. There are also provisions for registered observers to be present at the polling place as long as they do not interfere with voting. We actually...

I haven’t posted for a while but was very happy to see this thread. To get a better picture of the whole election last year, I volunteered as a poll worker in Pennsylvania and was appointed to be a judge of election. I went through regular training and oversaw a precinct polling place during...

I couldn't help but think of this old Batman show device after reading your post. Maybe that is why Biden has the Cesar Chavez bust right behind his desk.

It is also important to know when state law allows a count to start. Florida had a very different standard than my home state of Pennsylvania, which did not begin the mail-in tabulation until 7:00 am on Election Day. Provisional ballots were another story, made more complicated by delays in the...

Could you explain that term? I think that I know what it means, but am not sure.

This is a topic worth pursuing. A recent Monmouth University poll captures part of the challenges in doing so: https://www.monmouth.edu/polling-institute/reports/monmouthpoll_us_111820/

This had me thinking of vaccinations as a precondition for going to school. It is pretty common practice for public health. Masks are basically the same, albeit visible.

My county transitioned to the "yellow" phase and you can already see things loosening up. Mask use is down and I keep hearing reports from friends about people giving them a hard time about wearing masks. If you look at where I live, we are way above the national average for cases. Things are...

Rolling Stone reporter Matt Taibbi published a very good examination of Pentagon finances. A retired Air Force auditor — we’ll call him Andy — tells a story about a thing that happened at Ogden Air Force Base, Utah. Sometime in early 2001, something went wrong with a base inventory order. Andy...

An interesting take on conspiracies. I particularly liked the chapter "Charismatic Leaders," which talked about the appeal of emotion and the limits of education.

Armored vehicles bearing the European Union (EU) flag were involved in the recent Paris riots, sparking conspiracy claims about an EU takeover. Although vehicles with these flags were present, they actually represented a very small contingent of French police that are part of an equally small EU...

So, we had our first major snow in Pennsylvania and, as it turns out, every road that I took to get home was gridlocked. Now PennDOT, the main topic of my original post, is responsible for clearing the roads. And all this happened the day after the post? Coincidence? I don't think so...

David Harris recently ran a story claiming that 100,000 illegal aliens were registered to vote in Pennsylvania. It takes some time to unpeel both parts of the story –the total number and their legal status—but the claim is both disingenuous and inaccurate. According to Harris: There are...

Suspecting the CIA of some kind of diabolical activity is a default setting in the CT world and it does verge into silliness Sometimes, the agency actually is up to something covert. I use a very good book by Nick Cullather that talks about the 1954 coup in Guatemala. His research is actually...

The Brett Kavanaugh hearings recently found their way into the CT community. Natural News recently ran a story accusing Christine Blasey Ford of conducting mind control experiments for the CIA. The claims are linked together by a series of unfounded correlations about experimental therapy...

Dane Wigington featured this theory recently on his website. Every aspect of our weather is being altered and manipulated by geoengineering programs, including hurricanes / cyclones. Radio frequency / microwave transmission installations have been and are a core component of the ongoing global...

My God. The horror! ;)
