Brennan Monorail. Electrical powered train was invented by Louis Brennan in the early 20th century. It had a single set of wheels and ran on a single track rendering it look like a motorcycle of train. Due to its inability to pull the other coaches and incur cost-effectiveness, the train could not commercialize.
Jean Bertin’s Aerotrain
This train came into existence as a replacement for the conventional trains. Funded by the French Government, the train was light, quiet and fast with a speed as lofty as 420 kilometers (260 mph). However, later, the government denied its introduction followed by the view of safeguarding the state-sponsored railway system.
Schienenzeppelin
The Schienenzeppelin was an assembly of the German machineries. This preliminary super fast train was powered by an engine connected to a huge propeller in the back. It never went past the prototype stage as a result of fears that its propellers could injure or even kill the people who stood close to the tracks at railway stations. The highest speed recorded for this train was 225 kilometers (140 mph).

 Public Elementary School in Wealthy DC Suburb Forcing Third-Grade Children to Wear Masks Again

By Cullen Linebarger Sep. 5, 2023

Montgomery County, Maryland – The mandates and potentially lockdowns are gradually coming back into American life. Children are among the first victims of this travesty.

Conservative radio talk show host Clay Travis posted a letter o X (formerly Twitter) which was sent to all parents at Rosemary Hills Elementary School in Montgomery County, which is a tony DC suburb. The letter, which was from the school’s principal, Rebecca Irwin Kennedy, said that because “3 or more” students had recently tested positive for COVID 19, all third-grade students must mask up for the next ten days.

Moreover, the masks must be N95s despite little evidence such masks (or any for that matter) are actually effective at stopping the spread of the virus.

Despite the absolute fact that N95 masks are worse than useless for stopping virii in any way shape or form.

“The New Variant” and a corresponding and “oh how convenient” Jab are coming very soon.

I can tell you as a fact that the Commie Governor of the State of Washington is already dribbling in his underwear at the prospects of invoking another Emergency for 900 plus days so he can order everything locked down again and the useless face masks being mandated again.

I’m thinking I can’ t be the only one around here this time who is going to tell him to pound sand in his fucking ass over that.

But I for one sure as fuck is going to do just that.

You can shove that “Vaccine” right in your eyeball too.

Aaaaand, He’s Down.

Been sick.

No idea with what.

Started feeling shitty Monday afternoon and had a slight headache.

Then I started feeling queasy so I didn’t eat dinner.

Got up and went to work yesterday and stopped and got a couple of biscuits and gravy.

Two hours later I had to run and find a garbage can because I thought I was gonna puke my guts out but I only retched real hard .Still had the headache too.

I said Fuck This and came home.

Got here, took my shoes off and grabbed a throw blanket, didn’t even take my jacket off.

Kicked back in my recliner and was asleep in minutes.

Slept 4 hours, got up to pee and went to bed. Except for bathroom breaks I slept all day and all night. The alarm woke me up so I called in and went back to sleep again this morning.

Now my lower back aches from sleeping so much and I am weaker than a newborn kitten.

Still don’t feel very good and may just go back to bed again.

I did finally eat a small peanut butter cracker bar.

I do have a package I need to send off but I’m in no rush to do anything.

It’s gonna be up to CederQ to keep the joint open.
