    Jfc, if your BMI is over 50 please don't wear black yoga pants. You look like a 300 pound sausage over cooked in a microwave.

    i encountered at least half a dozen wildebeasts in cream/light colored yoga pants at the ATL airport last weekend.

    Also the societal acceptance of wearing pajamas to the airport needs to DIAF.  Tracksuit if you must, but my lord the fucking roll out of bed slobs are too much.

    I think Scheffler is steadier mentally than Jordan and Rory. I think Rory got caught up in the superstardom too early. I think he's been trying to get serious again the last few years but he might've already peaked. I can't believe he's only 34, though. Jordan was always a car crash waiting to happen. It's just he was about as good a putter as there ever was in 2014-2015. Then he got a little sideways, then got hurt, got married, etc. I'm afraid he'll never get back to where he was at his zenith. But Scottie is so pure with his iron play. He's just so consistently great.

     

    Tiger was never quite the same after he hurt himself training (stupidly, I might add) with the Navy SEALS. Never should've fired Butch either. If he hadn't made those two decisions, he's probably sitting on 20 majors.

    If he hadn't passed out and driven his car of the road he probably could have won 2 more Masters.  I think he would have been competitive there until he was mid-50's.  perhaps later.

    To expound on my earlier point, Scheffler's mental game is the one X factor that can extend his dominance. 

    I hate to say but Spieth and Rory seem to have way too many thoughts in their head on the course. The doubt crept in and never left. Both are very cerebral to their detriment IMO.

    Scottie just puts everything into the hands of Jesus Christ and focuses on staying calm with a clear head. He's got that Christian Zen ring of power on. 

     

    Also, when you have the big success with multiple majors close together pretty soon your focus gets compromised with all the advertising and personal branding stuff.  Hard to stay razor sharp with all that going on taking time that was formerly spent on his game.

    So what does "holding China accountable" look like? It's a genuine question on my part,

    I’d settle for an acknowledgment of the truth and some sort of international treaty not to engage in GOF research going forward.

    April 9, 2024

     

    WASHINGTON, D.C. – In a new op-ed for Fox News, U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY), Ranking Member of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, discussed the fifteen federal agencies that knew the EcoHealth Alliance and Wuhan Institute of Virology were seeking federal funding in 2018 to create a virus similar to COVID-19.

    You can read the op-ed published in Fox News here or below:

    How vast was the Great COVID Cover-up? Well, my investigation has recently discovered government officials from 15 federal agencies knew in 2018 that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was trying to create a coronavirus like COVID-19.  

    These officials knew that the Chinese lab was proposing to create a COVID 19-like virus and not one of these officials revealed this scheme to the public. In fact, 15 agencies with knowledge of this project have continuously refused to release any information concerning this alarming and dangerous research.

    Government officials representing at least 15 federal agencies were briefed on a project proposed by Peter Daszak’s EcoHealth Alliance and the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

    This project, the DEFUSE project, proposed to insert a furin cleavage site into a coronavirus to create a novel chimeric virus that would have been shockingly similar to the COVID-19 virus. 

    For years, I have been fighting to obtain records from dozens of federal agencies relating to the origins of COVID-19 and the DEFUSE project. Under duress, the administration finally released documents that show that the DEFUSE project was pitched to at least 15 agencies in January 2018.

    What does this mean?

    It means that at least 15 federal agencies knew from the beginning of the pandemic that EcoHealth Alliance and the Wuhan Institute of Virology were seeking federal funding in 2018 to create a virus genetically very similar if not identical to COVID-19.

    Disturbingly, not one of these 15 agencies spoke up to warn us that the Wuhan Institute of Virology had been pitching this research. Not one of these agencies warned anyone that this Chinese lab had already put together plans to create such a virus.

    Peter Daszak concealed this proposal. University of North Carolina scientist Ralph Baric, a named collaborator on the DEFUSE project, failed to reveal that the Wuhan Institute of Virology had already proposed to create a virus similar to COVID-19. 

    And now we know that 15 agencies heard the proposal and when each agency discovered that COVID-19 was strangely similar to DEFUSE’s proposed virus creation, not one agency head stepped forward to warn the public that the virus might be man-made and therefore already adapted to transmit freely among humans.

    Not surprising to some of us, Dr. Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) was not only briefed on Wuhan’s desire to create this virus, NIAID was actually listed as a participant in the initial DEFUSE pitch. Fauci’s Rocky Mountain Lab was named as a partner alongside the Wuhan Institute of Virology in the proposal.

    These documents also reveal that a scientist whose lab has received millions of dollars from EcoHealth was also part of the original plan to create these chimeric coronaviruses. This researcher, Ian Lipkin, also later became one of the authors of “Proximal Origins,” a journal paper commissioned by Fauci and National Institutes of Health head Francis Collins to throw shade on anyone arguing that the virus might have come from the lab. Yet, Ian Lipkin never revealed to the public the DEFUSE proposal. 

    Did NIAID warn us? Did Anthony Fauci warn us? No! All lips remained sealed. 

    Millions of people died from COVID-19. We now know that over 15 government agencies, as well as the investigators Peter Daszak, Ralph Baric, Ian Lipkin and scientists at NIAID’s Rocky Mountain Lab, all knew of the Wuhan Institute of Virology’s desire to create a coronavirus with a furin cleavage site, a virus pre-adapted for human transmission.

    And no one spoke up. We only know of this DEFUSE proposal because a whistleblower, one brave Marine, Lt. Col. Joseph Murphy, came forward with the truth.

    Likely, hundreds of people in the government knew of this proposal to create a COVID-19-like virus and virtually every one of these people chose to keep quiet, to obscure, and ultimately to conceal information that might have saved lives by letting the world know this was no sleepy animal virus with poor transmission. 

    No, all evidence suggests COVID-19 was a laboratory-enhanced virus purposefully adapted for human transmission.

    Shame on all those who covered up the DEFUSE project! Of course, they all should be punished but likely won’t. At the very least, though, the perpetrators should be made to admit the truth and Congress should finally put in place sufficient oversight to make sure dangerous gain of function experiments are sufficiently vetted and, if necessary, prevented.

    one question...

     

    How many agencies??? not quite clear on that.
