In bid to lean on science to tackle this virus, @JoeBiden is going to ramp up and ensure access to rapid antigen #COVID19 tests
His executive orders include Nitrocellulose, the major limiting ingredient in the rapid “paper-strip” antigen tests
We’ll never know how many lives were lost due to the actions of Resistance actors within federal bureaucracies delaying vaccine release, and blocking approval of treatments and inexpensive rapid tests – all to deny Orange Man Bad a victory.

Vijaya Gadde, a Public Relations executive at Twitter, thinks she is a good person. Some may beg to differ.
One line from her Wikipedia profile particularly sticks out as ironic: “At Twitter, Gadde has made protecting privacy and opposing the censorship of Twitter internationally policy priorities….”
Catherine Herridge, formerly of Fox News and more recently with CBS News, reports investigators think those pipebombs found at the RNC and DNC on January 6 may have been intended to divert law enforcement away from the Capitol itself at a crucial moment. That would also suggest somebody with a command and control structure for the planned riot.
Herridge also notes that the crucial window for understanding the timeline of January 6 events is between 12:45 and 1:15, before President Donald Trump finished his speech to the gathered protestors. If that is true, and there are abundant reasons to think it is, then it’s difficult to ascribe to Trump responsibility for inciting the riot.
Proving again the first rule of breaking events: nobody knows anything.
Update: Center for Security Policy;
The deadly riot at the US Capitol bore the markings of an organized operation planned well in advance of the January 6 joint session of Congress.
A small number of cadre used the cover of a huge rally to stage its attack. Before it began, I saw from my vantage point on the West Front of the Capitol, what appeared to be four separate cells or units…

Big wind storm here, with intermittent power failures, so shutting it down for the night.
Governments are losing the plot at a remarkable pace. They want to go to renewables, but they need oil. They need natural gas even more. They won’t admit it, and are completely unprepared for a looming price shock. Read on…
A monolith has appeared near Arcola, SK.

My Twitter account is in Thelma and Louise mode as I post this — a mass deletion app is purging my old content. (Tweetdelete.net).
There’s no point in remaining on the platform, even as a source of breaking news. Trump and others have been purged in the past few hours, and the high value accounts like Andy Ngo are surely next.
Apple is threatening to ban Parler. Update: the Google Play store has.
Face it folks, it’s time to rebuild the independent conservative blogosphere.
(I’m on Parler as @katewerk, follow if you choose but I find the platform difficult to read and clunky to use)

Dawn Wells, the girl-next-door actress and former beauty queen who played the sweet Mary Ann Summers on the iconic CBS sitcom Gilligan’s Island, died Tuesday. She was 82.
Mike Soch recently sent a poignant letter to the Calgary Sun:
Got to love the arrogance in statements by our politicians. That being (Rachel) Notley, (Naheed) Nenshi, (Justin) Trudeau, even (Jason) Kenney or any other public servant: “We are all in this together.” Are we now? To all of you, feeding at the taxpayer-filled trough. How much wages have you lost? How many businesses have you lost? How depleted are your savings? How much stress are you are under because you can’t afford your mortgage or car payments? Are you telling your kids they can’t go to dentist because you can’t afford it? I don’t think so. The only thing that really changes for you, when it comes work and wages, is that you might work less, due to some closures, but your pay hasn’t changed, it is the same. So next time you want to spew that line, bite your tongue. It is insulting to all of us paying for your well being and you sound stupid.
I think we can rule out both (1) “generalized” terrorism, by which I mean an attack meant to instill fear through causing casualties, and (2) symbolic terrorism, by which I mean an attack that uses violence to send a public message.
Ok, then what’s left?

Update: It appears there was a message broadcast from the RV prior to the explosion, warning people to evacuate. This is a strange one.
This was no minor blast. ATT service is down in the region, there’s random speculation the target was their data center.
Update: Who is S McG, (and does it matter)?
