In a span of four hours, the top-ranked golfer in the world was arrested wearing gym shorts and a tee shirt, dressed in an orange jail shirt for his mug shot, returned to Valhalla Golf Club in golf clothes and made his 10:08 a.m. second-round tee time.
“This morning, I was proceeding as directed by police officers,” he said in a statement released as he was warming up on the range. "It was a very chaotic situation, understandably so considering the tragic accident that had occurred earlier, and there was a big misunderstanding of what I thought I was being asked to do."

University of East Anglia researchers say initially face masks reduced the spread of covid
Medical Watch Digest for May 15
How masks hold up against Covid
Face mask efficacy depended on the Covid variation.
Wearing a face mask did not reduce the risk for infection after the first omicron wave.
University of East Anglia researchers say initially face masks reduced the spread of covid.
But after December 2021, there was a shift. The omicron variant was better able to infect the cells lining the upper respiratory tract than previous variants and so it became more transmissible even in the presence of nose and mouth shields.
The study was funded by the National Institute for Healthcare Research.

Norman Dodd On Tax Exempt Foundations- A Hidden Global agenda

Poll says: Gop sucks - Is there a left wing agenda?

And these groups often see themselves as a private army of regulators working shoulder-to-shoulder with government ones.
Staff lawyers for the environmental group the Natural Resources Defense Council, says Laksin, describe their job as, "We're the shadow EPA; we make the EPA do its job."
Bizarre as it is to contemplate the fortunes of supercharged capitalists like Rockefeller, Carnegie and Ford being used to fight capitalism, isn't pointing this out merely conservative whining? Surely everyone is entitled to spend their money promoting whatever message they please.
Correct, says Laksin. But these foundations' tax-exempt status depends on their being nonpartisan. He mentions that the head of Pew Trusts, Rebeca Rimmel, recently complained that the book falsely portrays Pew as a partisan group. "That's demonstrably false," Laksin says. "Pew Trusts spends millions funding radical environmental groups like Earth Justice and anarchist Ruckus Society. If that's non-partisan, then the term has no meaning. Foundations should be upfront about their political agendas." And lose their tax-exempt status.
It was free-market apostle Adam Smith who said, "People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public."
Wary of business today, regulators observe it closely. But the blob of regulation, with its ability to draw on the public purse, the private foundations and its close relationship with like-minded media, grows by the day.
