Comment: While reports of negative reactions to the Johnson and Johnson vaccine are certainly worrisome, it is interesting to note that, unlike the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, the J&J manufactured one - is NOT of the mRNA variety - which is quite likely far more dangerous.

But we're not getting that story from the mainstream news.

Comment: Facebook is now infamous for censoring "wrongthink" of its users, including former US President Donald Trump. Many personal pages and profiles are deleted because individuals expressed perspectives that diverge from the official ones allowed by PTB, and promoted by mainstream media.

The good news is that there are other social networks like VK and MeWe, similar to Facebook, where people are not censored for their critical thinking and postings that are not in line with the official narratives. Viva free speech!

Comment: Note that countries throughout the West have claimed they have been 'overwhelmed' by the coronavirus, despite hospitals having lower patient admissions than previous years. It has become clear that these facilities were struggling to cope before the coronavirus, and the situation has been made many times with restrictions removing beds and distancing limiting capacity, as well as staff being forced to self isolate at home for weeks on end because, while healthy, the unreliable testing system recorded them as being positive for coronavirus.

As for the situation in Ontario, it remains to be seen just why they've felt the need to enlist army resources; although countries calling in the army to help with normally civilian issues has become worryingly frequent since the lockdowns began:

• Madrid calls in the ARMY as Spain imposes regional lockdowns, mostly poorer areas
• UK's NHS to enlist ARMY to vaccinate ENTIRE population with coronavirus vaccine, will do a 'dry run' with flu vaccine
• French clergymen ARRESTED over lockdown-breaking Easter mass attended by hundreds of worshipers
• 200 police descend on church to stop worshipers attending Sunday service in Alberta, Canada

Comment: Indeed, CEO Karp showed a remarkable amount of backbone in not caving to the denizens of an industry riddled with SJW madness. The Hill reported last week:

Simon & Schuster is standing by its two-book deal with former Vice President Pence despite an employee petition against it, the company's president and CEO said in a letter sent to staffers Tuesday.

"But we come to work each day to publish, not cancel, which is the most extreme decision a publisher can make, and one that runs counter to the very core of our mission to publish a diversity of voices and perspectives. We will, therefore, proceed in our publishing agreement with Vice President Mike Pence," Karp added.

Karp did not address when he first knew about the employee petition or how many people had signed it.

A spokesperson for Simon & Schuster declined to comment on the petition, referring questions back to Karp's letter.

Pence could not be reached for comment.

He then asked employees to maintain perspective about the books the company is publishing and to realize not everyone shares the same opinions about signing controversial authors.

"For those who think some of our titles are a step backward, let's appreciate the many Simon & Schuster books that are taking us two steps forward," Karp wrote. "Let's also acknowledge that we don't agree on which titles are taking us forward and backward! That tension — that push and pull — is a healthy part of the dialectic provided by classically liberal publishing companies."

Simon & Schuster staff are not the first publishing employees to protest recent deals their companies made with high-profile authors.

In March of last year, Hachette Book Group employees walked off the job to protest the planned publication of Woody Allen's memoir.

And in November, employees at Penguin Random House Canada complained when their company was planning to publish a Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life, the follow-up to the bestseller 12 Rules for Life written by Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson.

Comment: RT tracks reaction to McGowan's latest interview:

No-nonsense activist Rose McGowan managed to infuriate Democratic true believers by going on Fox News and saying they were in a cult. Blue campers rushed to explain how Republicans were worse, either missing or ignoring her point.

[...]

And predictable as a Swiss watch, the rebukes did arrive. People on Twitter rushed to rebuke McGowan, saying how wrong she was to call Democrats a cult and, for some reason, measuring them against the Republicans.

Others defensively touted Joe Biden's policies as radically transformative. "Dems unilaterally pass legislation to cut child poverty IN HALF & are working on the most climate-oriented policy America has ever had," one commenter said.

Ironically, this highlights a popular point of criticism from the left targeting the incumbent US administration: it wasn't bold enough to eradicate child poverty in the world's wealthiest country, but is quite fine with seeking record-breaking military spending.

In follow-up posts on McGowan's Twitter account, she drew attention to how her detractors had chosen to miss the point she wanted to make about political divisiveness in the US.

"Both sides are so f***ed ... both sides of the media," she mused. The fact that Fox News, a channel that Democrats love to see as the enemy, would let her on air to deliver the message was "extraordinary," she added.

The explanation, unsurprisingly, didn't land well with the intended audience. "No, they used you," retorted Keith Olbermann, a master of angry never-Trump rants. "If you can't tell the difference between the Republican Death Cult and the Democrats, let me summarize for you: you're full of s**t. And blocked."

McGowan seems to be wearing that particular dismissal as a badge of honor.

Others showed support for her views:



Ms. McGowan has not been afraid to become a lightning rod for issues important to her:
