The story reveals itself in three paragraphs: A 30-year-old man who believed the coronavirus was a hoax and attended a “Covid party” died after being infected with the virus, according to the chief medical officer at a Texas hospital. In
her statements to news organizations, Dr. Appleby said the man had told his nurse that he attended a Covid party. Just before he died, she said the patient told his nurse: “I think I made a mistake. I thought this was a hoax, but it’s not.” It’s a morality tale, really. Don’t believe it’s a hoax! Or that you aren’t...

Did the Old Racist Democrats Become Today's Republicans? (Urban Legend)

| 06/20/2015 | David L. Gray (יוסף דוד)‎
There is an Urban Legend afloat among liberals who refuse to own the racist history of the Democratic Party. They always repeat the lie that the racists Democrats somehow - at sometime - transferred their imperialist racism onto the modern Republican party. This
video offers succinct historical information to debunk this Urban Legend and lie.

It’s not an urban legend, it’s a LIE: Paul VI did NOT give permission to nuns (contraceptives)

The other day Pope Francis, in the infamous post-Mexico airplane presser, said: Paolo VI – il grande! – in una situazione difficile, in Africa, ha permesso alle suore di usare gli anticoncezionali per i casi di violenza. … Paul VI – the great one! – in a difficult situation in Africa, permitted
sisters to use contraceptives for cases of violenze. I’ve heard this before. I never believed it.Years ago on the COL Forum (which I ran) we had a discussion about this. One of the staffers tried to dig up the old files. In the meantime he – The Great...

Hoax Urban Legend From February 21, 2007 : California School Teacher Tells Truth About "Protesters"

Eamil from California School Teacher | http://msgboard.snopes.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=9;t=002141;p=1
"As you listen to the news about the student protests over President-Elect Trump's approach to illegal immigration, there are some things that you should be aware of: I am in charge of the English-as-a-second-language department at a large Southern California high school which is designated a Title 1 school, meaning that its
students average lower socioeconomic and income levels. Most of the schools you are hearing about, South Gate High, Bell Gardens, Huntington Park , etc., where these students are protesting, are also Title 1 schools. Title 1 schools are on the free breakfast and free lunch program. When I...

Video: John Legend, Keith Urban Lead Singing of ‘Imagine’ at Olympics Opening Ceremony(BARF ALERT!)

John Legend, Keith Urban, and Angélique Kidjo led a version of John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s utopian anthem “Imagine” at the Tokyo Olympics, which featured Legend, whose net worth is an estimated $75 million, belting out the line “imagine no possessions.” The
Opening Ceremony kicked off on Friday with several artists participating in a rendition of “Imagine” — which asks listeners to, ironically, imagine there are “no countries.” The Suginami Junior Chorus and Spanish musician Alejandro Sanz were also featured in the number. Legend, an overtly leftist Hollywood activist, belted out the lyrics, “Imagine no possessions/I wonder if you can/No...

Fr Hunwicke's Mutual Enrichment ^

Urban VI ... ... was the Pope whose personal failings, including an irascible inclination to torture and execute his Cardinals, led to the Great Western Schism. There were very serious grounds for suspecting that his election, in 1378, was invalid on account of duress; the Cardinal Electors were under the menace of
being torn to pieces by the Roman mob. Indeed, the dear little 1958 CTS pamphlet listing the popes, which never leaves my desk, says simply that his election "has been generally deemed valid" ... not a very wholehearted or ringing endorsement. A few months later, most of the...

urban dictionary: ANTIFA

urbandictionary.com ^
I go to Urban dictionary because I don't always know what the latest and greatest words mean. I
looked up antifa and was surprised at the hilarious definition people have made about antifa. Here are a few and some of them date back a few years.Short for (militant) anti-fascists. Middle-class champagne socialist/communist/anarchist white boys who don't like nationalists or fascists. They consider themselves to be rebelling against the establishment, whilst upholding all of its ultra-politically correct views. Antifa only dislike racism when its carried out by whites, and do not have the bottle to stand up against anti-white racism; leading...

Sam Adams...Urban Ninja
|

Self | January 26, 2015 | PJ-Comix
The title of this thread is why I can't watch any more episodes of the History Channel's "Sons of Liberty." In their need to appeal to modern young audiences, they turned Sam Adams into a sort of modern urban Ninja warrior. After
watching that scene of Sam Adams doing fancy gymnastics flipping around and hopping from rooftop to rooftop pretty much soured me on this series. The only possible good result from "Sons of Liberty" would be a TV parody of it. Hey, why not flash an "S" signal into the clouds to signal that the services of Sam Adams,...

American Thinker ^
| 17 Nov, 2023 | Earick Ward
At first glance, the divisions between Left and Right seem insurmountable, and while it is no doubt that we are in the midst of a great conflict and that battle lines have been clearly drawn, we should take a step back and take stock of where we’re at, who we are, and
what must we do to broaden our appeal to those who haven’t historically voted Republican. Frankly, it is remarkable that any American, other than hard-core leftists, votes for the Democrat Party. Many Democrats either vote by rote or have been deceived. Today’s Democrat Party is not your father’s...

1. Bloody Mary - Sandusky, Ohio It's said that Mary lives deep beneath the waters of Sandusky Bay, waiting to steal the body parts of young women. We
all know the tale about standing in front of a mirror in the dark and saying her name three times, but this is a different legend. The story claims that she fell in love with a young man and when she failed to win him over, she turned to black magic. She lured him to the bay using a beautiful doll she had created by collecting the best body parts from women...

Urban Survival-Every Day Carry

More often than not I encounter women who have their concealed-carry permit yet leave their gun at home. During
the first six months after receiving my permit I did too. Just like so many, I was almost more fearful of being under-prepared to bring the gun than I was about my own safety. I had the gun, holster, belt and more than a few hours spent down range, but had no idea how to transition from the range to carrying every day. What was missing? The tools and the knowledge to address the moments before, during and after the critical...

Here Are the Urban Highways That Deserve to Die

On one side of Interstate 980 in Oakland rise the new glass skyscrapers of the city’s Uptown neighborhood, home to a bustling entertainment district and Silicon Valley’s spillover tech startups. On
the other lies West Oakland, a “food desert” where two-thirds of residents live below the poverty line. West Oakland residents should be able to benefit from the growing number of amenities available in Uptown, since they technically live in walking distance. But crossing the 560-foot-wide interstate and two frontage roads is a daunting task. It’s a prime example of one of America’s most divisive freeways—literally.

Jesse Jackson once stated: âThere is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery. Then
(I) look around and see someone white and feel relieved.â This unfortunately is a reality. Not just for Black folk but for many, especially in urban areas. Since 2019 and last summer, there has been a rise in crime in many cities. Not jaywalking or shoplifting (which may also be on the rise) but rather violent crimes such as carjackings, shootings, assaults and murders. From New York to...

Several weeks ago, I met up with a friend in New York who suggested we grab a bite at a Scottish bar in the West Village. He had booked the table through something called Seated, a restaurant app that pays users who make reservations on the platform. We
ordered two cocktails each, along with some food. And in exchange for the hard labor of drinking whiskey, the app awarded us $30 in credits redeemable at a variety of retailers.

VP Harris, What About the 'Root Cause' of Urban Homicide?
|
| |
Townhall.com ^
| June 2, 2021 | Larry Elder
Vice President Kamala Harris just returned from Guatemala where she discussed the "root cause" of the post-election "surge" of "migrants" to our southern border. Harris
said, "People leave home ... because they don't have opportunities there to fulfill their basic needs like feeding their children or keeping a roof over their head, or they're fleeing some kind of harm." But the USA also faces a surge in crime, including homicide, in many American cities. Why aren't we discussing this root cause? It cannot be because, as Harris says about migrants, people "don't have opportunities there to fill their basic needs."...

The Return of Urban Retail Deserts

City Journal ^

The rising social disorder and crime of the 1970s and 1980s drove out not only hundreds of thousands of residents from New York City, but also many businesses. Within
a few years, entire communities lacked basic amenities like supermarkets and drugstores; empty storefronts littered shopping districts. That started to change only when crime began falling in the 1990s and neighborhoods rebounded—first in New York and then in other big cities—prompting national retailers to begin setting up shop in places that they had once avoided. Thousands of stores and tens of thousands of jobs blossomed in New York alone thanks to...
