"As the old saying goes, 'Guests, like fish,… Continue

The dusty white Ford Explorer traveled slowly up the dirt road, headed directly for the armed Michigan Army National Guard soldiers.
“Stay in the car,” one soldier told the Arabic-speaking driver and his passenger, both agitated and demanding that they be allowed to pass. Seconds later, a large explosion was heard and smoke wafted from the vehicle.

China’s Hang Seng Index, much like our DOW, has made surprising leaps in the last few months. Each leap based on manipulated data and earnings reports from the U.S. which obscure the real state of the economy. They call it a “suckers rally”, and the term fits.

Refusing vaccination labels you a “criminal”, so says WHO
