    Randy Olson|Dec 7, 2023

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Directory Mandy Cohen has been on air lately ranting and raving about masking and jabbing...yes, folks, it's that time of year to get your daily dose of stupid from these sick, evil people who I refer to as some of the worst humans on earth. They are the same humans who advocated for masking 2, 3 and 4-year old children on a daily basis. This made the United State of America the ONLY first-world country on the planet to do so.

  • Norway study says masking increases COVID risk

    Randy Olson|Nov 30, 2023

    It seems that every day a new disclosure is admitted or revealed or published in some fashion that destroys the narrative put forth by "official" channels in the government and media in regards to the COVID-19 pandemic. This is true in the area of facemasks and "face coverings" which is such a laughable phrase it makes my head hurt. A study funded by the Norwegian Institute for Public Health showed that mask use increased the risk of infection rather than decrease risk. Researchers analyzed data collected from 3,209 people who were studied...

They happened to be standing next to a gas stove. They wag their fingers at Americans who have gas stoves...yet there's one sitting...
