I need a house — a bit more space than this one, but it's cute.
The Orient
FROM 101 MODERN HOMES BY STANDARD HOMES COMPANY, 1923
The simple rectangular footprint of the Orient would have made this plan relatively inexpensive to build, but the Asian-flavor and large covered porch make this house anything but generic. There are three good sized bedrooms, a small bathroom, a reasonably large kitchen and breakfast nook. The living room and dining room are separated by French doors.

Joe Mannix on A♠The COVID-19 Test No One Is Talking About: Make Sure Your Children Have It Before They Are Vaccinated
Stacey Lennox, PJ Media via Outline, May 17, 2021
…a test that identifies preexisting T-cell immunity. This test goes beyond simply testing for antibodies from a recent infection. Instead, it tests for T cells.… Before vaccinating children or young adults, parents should strongly consider testing them for a T-cell reaction first. This population rarely suffered a severe illness, but it’s possible they were exposed and had an immune response. Parents should also demand that schools and colleges accept evidence of an immune response in place of proof of vaccination.…
Shawshank for January 6 Detainees
Julie Kelly, American Greatness, May 17, 2021
The government argues the events of January 6 along with the defendants’ skepticism about the outcome of the 2020 election are evidence the accused are a threat to society.…
…[M]any January 6 detainees now languish in solitary confinement conditions, some reportedly abused by prison guards, denied routine access to family members and defense attorneys. While there’s no doubt most of those behind bars awaiting delayed trials face the most serious charges related to the Capitol breach, the double standard of justice is in clear view. The same Justice Department dropping cases against Portland rioters, including those charged with assaulting federal officers, is treating January 6 defendants as hardened criminals even though most have no criminal records.

Why Civilization Is Older Than We Thought
Samo Burja, Palladium Mag, May17, 2021
…The most startling aspect of these ruins is their age: that they are old enough to predate the consensus origin of human agriculture.
How were hundreds of laborers fed if not through agriculture? And how was it organized? How should we best describe such a society? The Sumerian city-states of what is today Iraq, such as Eridu, are typically considered to be the origin of civilization. But these cities are four thousand years younger than our radiocarbon dates for Göbekli Tepe. The walled complex forces us either to push the origin of agriculture much further into the past or else reconsider whether agriculture is necessary for such complex human societies. Either possibility yields important information about humanity’s extended phenotype.…

Statement By Donald J. Trump On WSJ Presidential Poll Miss
By: Donald J. Trump
Wall Street Journal has reported (they finally got something right), that 2020 was the “Worst Presidential Poll Miss in 40 Years.”
The public opinion surveys ahead of the 2020 Presidential Election were the most inaccurate ever, according to a major polling panel. This was done purposely. The polls were a joke. I won States in a landslide that I was predicted to lose days before the election.
Other states had me purposely so far down that it would force people, even fans, to say “Let’s stay home Darling. We love our President, but he can’t win.” And then I would win those states or at least come very close. In one state that I actually won, but the results were rigged, ABC and the Washington Post had me down by 17 points. Even the rigged final result was extremely close. It’s called SUPPRESSION POLLING and it should be illegal.
These are crooked, disgusting, and very dishonest media outlets and they know exactly what they are doing. The 2020 Presidential Election was, by far, the greatest Election Fraud in the history of our Country. The good news is, the American people get it and the truth is rapidly coming out!
Had Mike Pence had the courage to send the Electoral College vote back to states for recertification and had Mitch McConnell fought for us instead of being the weak and pathetic leader he is, we would right now have a Republican President who would be VETOING the horrific Socialistic Bills that are rapidly going through Congress, including Open Borders, High Taxes, Massive Regulations, and so much else!
