For the sake of discussion, pretend that masks actually matter in the spread of Covid. How much difference would they make, quantitatively?
Well, first you need to know the prevalence. If no one is sick there’s nothing to stop. So, for the sake of discussion, let’s assume a high number, let’s say 1%. One in 100 people are sick with Covid.
Someone sick with Covid is likely to be at home in bed for most of their illness. So let’s say that one in the 10 days they might be contagious they are around other people and potentially contagious.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t typically kiss every person I bump into in the grocery store. In other words, just because a person is contagious, doesn’t mean they will actually spread it to someone else. For the sake of discussion, let’s assume that if a person is contagious they could potentially spread it to one in ten of the people they interact with.
Let’s run the numbers so far: 1% x 10% x 10% = one in ten thousand people it might make a difference on any given day.
And by “might make a difference” we are talking *if you have a comorbidity* of one in twenty odds that you could hospitalized, and one in 140 that you could die from Covid.
So, even with a comorbidity, we are talking one in 200,000 the chance of hospitalization, and one in a million the chance of death. Geeze, the “vaccine” is 500 times riskier than that.
And these numbers are *far* smaller for younger people, and people using any modicum of common sense.
And for this, we are littering the oceans with billions of pieces of plastic (far worse than straws), causing depression, loss of businesses, suicides, drug overdoses, and ill health in our population, and propagating an atmosphere of malaise across our society.
Quantitatively, the general use of masks sounds like a dumb idea to me. But it’s a free country... at least it used to be.
Wear one if you like.
But I’d rather see that lovely smile of yours.

a) I spent a large block of time on Friday working on my upcoming Climate Change talk for EmpowerU Ohio. It's going to be fun!
(sign up here: https://form.jotform.com/210417339480150)
b) I spent most of Saturday working on election integrity stuff. As people are seeing my work, their perceptions are completely overturned, and they realize the scale and extent of the problem.
c) I'd asked a friend to review my election analysis for a particular state, and he found a small error in one county. I need to investigate it and fix it today, before my results become any more public.
d) Mugs. I'm preparing another couple dozen mugs to go out tomorrow. I like to personalize each one.
e) While I was getting the link for my Climate Change talk, I noticed that Jay Richards is also in the course lineup at EmpowerU Ohio. Jay is a brilliant scholar who I have followed for decades. I encourage you to sign up for his class too!
(https://form.jotform.com/210417227002136)
f) Primers. I just haven't had the hours I need to prepare the next Primer. I am planning to show you how to download the voter data for a state, and to graph it in some new ways. Hopefully, I will have something out by mid-week. In the meantime, be sure to catch up on the ones I've already uploaded (The Primer Series):

As I am working on these various projects, I occasionally take breaks and check in with you guys here. If you follow my posts, you can see my moods vacillating between anger about the state of things in our country, hope because of the growing grass-roots movements in our states (I am assisting here), and warmth because of the outpouring of support so many of you are providing.
There are only so many hours in a day, so I had to make a choice. I am continuing to keep you in the Covid loop by doing the DePressers twice a week. The balance of my working hours are spent taking care of clients, teaching, preparing classes here for you, and of course the fans are spinning on my computer hours a day on the election stuff. When I started this project, I had no idea the problem was going to be this big.
Happy Sunday, y'all.
And may God bless us as we turn our faces toward Him and the Truth.

We had Candice Keller on the DePresser today to promote this upcoming event in Southern Ohio.

Nellie and I are looking forward to it!

Candice Keller on the DePresser
This former legislator speaks her mind. How refreshing!
I heard today that a local "Christian" school has joined the fray. To capitulate to culture at the expense of Truth and Liberty is evidence of decline in a religious institution.
CPAC attendees were polled concerning which issues were the most important to them.
The #1 issue?
Election Integrity. (67%)
Everyone knows that there is a huge problem, but few people know what the real problems are, or what to do about it.
And politicians are not going to care unless the public demands it.
Folks, if we want to have a country, we are gonna have to own it.

I attended this event with Nellie this morning. Many of you were there, and it was fun to meet and hug and be normal.
Once again, I was impressed by our Ohio SuperMoms. Candice Keller, obviously, but also Jennifer Sherwood Gross, Connie Tucker, and Janet Porter.
The meeting had a stronger religious flavor than I was expecting, but nevertheless perfectly appropriate:
"It is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor."

I just finished a radio interview promoting this class on 55 WKRC. See you guys Thursday!
I grew up on a small ranch. One of my primary responsibilities was to track the estrus of our livestock, and I carried a small notebook and pencil in my overalls for this purpose.
When the time was right, I would put the buck in with the doe. The boar in with the sow. And we used AI to manage our purebred Angus herd, so my job was especially critical with the cows.
Sex is a beautiful thing, and God invented it.
Even the pine trees in our front yard have male and female components.
The first thing the doctor or midwife says when a child is born is, "Congratulations, you have a baby boy/girl!"
And the thing is, it's usually really easy to tell. You are either an "innie" or an "outie."
Not only was sex created by God, it is also fundamental to the biological sciences and in biochemistry.
I find it ironic that the same people who claim to be following the science are the ones who can't tell the difference between an innie and an outie, the difference between Covid and the flu, between climate and weather, between
