IF SOMEONE HAD JUST SEEN THIS COMING AND SAID SOMETHING! OR YOU KNOW, IF I’D BEEN SCREAMING ABOUT IT ON MY BLOG FOR ABOUT TEN YEARS OR MORE NOW?  Global Population Crash Isn’t Sci-Fi Anymore.

Oh, wait, I was.

NOTHING TO SEE HERE, MOVE ALONG: Boeing whistleblower found dead in hotel parking lot just days after testifying against airplane giant. “John Barnett, 62, had raised safety concerns at the airline’s factories and provided his first testimony just days before he was found dead from an apparent ‘self-inflicted’ gunshot wound, the Charleston County coroner told the BBC.”

Jeffrey Epstein, who didn’t hang himself, was unavailable for comment.

WOULD YOU PUT YOUR LIFE IN THE HANDS OF THESE PEOPLE?

OPEN THREAD: Monday, Monday.

ONE MORE SCANDAL FOR CLAUDINE GAY’S SUCCESSOR TO CONFRONT: Harvard Tramples the Truth. When the Covid pandemic began, Martin Kulldorff was a professor at Harvard Medical School and one of the world’s leading experts on vaccines. He had helped design the system used by the CDC and other agencies to monitor adverse effects from vaccines. But instead of drawing on his expertise, Harvard proceeded to fire him. Now, for the first time, Kulldorff reveals how he lost his job after co-authoring the Great Barrington Declaration and (correctly) challenging the Covid orthodoxy on lockdowns, natural immunity, and vaccine mandates (including “the science” promulgated by Rochelle Walensky, the Harvard professor who was a disaster as the CDC’s director during the pandemic).

If the school’s next president is serious about repairing Harvard’s reputation — and eliminating its notorious double standard on free speech — then he or she should force the medical school to rehire Kulldorff.

THE PEOPLE, UNITED, WILL NEVER BE DEFEATED: In Ireland, a Very Happy Mammy’s Day.

Something remarkable happened in Ireland over the weekend. Just in time to celebrate International Women’s Day and Irish Mother’s Day (here often called “Mam’s Day” or colloquially, “Mammy’s Day”): the plain people of Ireland (in Flann O’Brien’s memorable phrase) resoundingly rejected a freshly sprung trap against their constitution and their common sense. By roughly 70-30 percent, voters turned two thumbs down on a pair of amendments that basically would have eliminated the word “women” and their important role in the Irish home, and redefined the terms “family” and “care” to reflect more “modern” — read: Leftist — values. As the New York Times story whined in its subhed: “Two proposed amendments, which voters considered on Friday, were intended to reflect the more secular, liberal values of the nation’s modern era.”

Thus did the progressive, radical, anti-Semitic, and Ukrainian-loving coalition government that currently controls the Republic of Ireland go down to an ignominious and fully deserved defeat.

Good. Such defeats are, or course, why transnational progressives work so hard to keep the people divided and ignorant.

REPORT: U.S. Embassy In Haiti Evacuating American Personnel Amid ‘Chaos’ From Street Gangs.

The world is on fire with Weekend at Joey’s at the helm of the once most powerful nation on earth. So it’s really no surprise that numerous countries are falling into chaos.

The latest example is Haiti. So destabilizing is the situation in Haiti, that the U.S. is evacuating embassy personnel.

What’s the count so far? Last year, Newsweek reported: Joe Biden Slammed for Evacuating ‘Four Embassies’ During Presidency.

“Joe Biden has had to evacuate FOUR embassies in less than 3 years. The media said Biden & Blinken were ‘experts’ and ‘the adults are back in charge.’ The world has been on FIRE since their disaster in Afghanistan. Pray for our country & the 16,000 Americans Biden left in Sudan,” [Rep. Mary Miller D-IL] wrote on Twitter on Sunday.

In addition to Sudan, the United States has also suspended embassy operations in Afghanistan after withdrawing its troops in August 2021 and in Ukraine when Russia invaded the Eastern European country last February. However, the embassy in Ukraine reopened last May. The U.S. has also suspended operations in Belarus—whose President Alexander Lukashenko is a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin—due to “security and safety issues stemming from the unprovoked and unjustified attack.”

Meanwhile, Undersecretary of State for Management John Bass said on Saturday that temporarily shutting down the embassy in Sudan was “the only really feasible option for us in this case,” according to CNN.

And of course, there was the embassy lost by Joe’s former(?) boss: Benghazi: Ten Years Later And Forgotten.

CALIBER MATTERS: Watch what bullets the Tesla Cybertruck can (and can’t) stop: Speed and size of ammunition make a big difference. “If you want or need actual protection from guns, you should go to an armored-vehicle upfitter that can provide a vehicle with actual armored glass in addition to panels. Still, this does show that the Cybertruck can stop many common handgun bullets and your garden-variety .22LR — provided they aren’t pointed at the glass. Make sure you don’t end up on Hans Gruber’s bad side.”
