We talked about President Biden calling a Fox News "reporter" a "Stupid son of a bitch." And the hypocritical right-wing whined about it, neglecting the slanders that Trump heaped upon the press for years.

We talked about the COVID~19 pandemic and the fact that deaths are rising while some are saying the pandemic is nearly over.

Sarah Palin gets COVID~19 again, and flouts rules designed to stop the spread of the disease.

We talked about the submarine volcano that's caused such problems for Tonga.

We talked about police over-gunning an incident in Los Angeles and killing a 14 year old girl.

We talked about Sirhan Sirhan needing to remain in prison.

Most search engines exist not to help you find things but to allow the companies that provide the search service to data mine your searches and then sell your search history to clients so they can spam you. An alternative to getting your privacy compromised is to use the DuckDuckGo search engine.

• If you'd like to keep your browsing history private you can get yourself the Tor Browser. Using the DuckDuckGo search engine is automatic with the Tor Browser, and by accessing the DuckDuckGo search engine from the Tor Browser you are pretty much guaranteed that no one can trace searches back to you.
