The Becker Report – August 2023

Beckerisms

Censorship

In June of this year, YouTube sent me a censorship email regarding a video that I published in March 2021. The email is below:

The video in question is here: youtube.com/watch?v=TujWWJ8qTW4&ab_channel=JohnBecker
I clicked the link in the above email to file an appeal. It is here:

This video is more than two years old and you are only now censoring it?
Regardless, all of the facts are well researched and documented. Many are from the CDC.
You might want to reconsider your “medical misinformation” policy:

“YouTube doesn’t allow claims about COVID-19 vaccinations that contradict expert consensus from local health authorities or the World Health Organization (WHO).”

Did you ever consider the possibility that the so-called “expert consensus” might be wrong?
Censoring competing conclusions and opinions is contrary to the enhancement of the marketplace of ideas in a free society.
Some of the ideas and opinions expressed in this video might be contrary to some of the opinions of the so-called experts, but I challenge you to prove anything in the video to be wrong.
Please reverse your decision.
John Becker

And a victory for the people…

Covid

So, the jab is killing the preborn too? Increase in miscarriages, stillbirths directly linked to COVID shots, data show – health officials ‘should have known’
How are those masks working out? New study finds extended use of ‘best’ COVID masks may cause cancer, liver damage
So, just how safe are those N95s? N95 masks expose wearers to toxic chemicals in unsafe concentrations
Are mask mandates returning? What does Dr. Fauci think of mask effectiveness?
Face masks made ‘little to no difference’ in preventing spread of COVID, scientific review finds
CDC’s data verifies that masks are virtually useless.

Union Township welcomes new and growing businesses

Some of the below are pending trustee approval:

Give Like a Mother is now open in the Eastgate Mall. Oh, Mamma Mia!
Children’s Hospital has submitted plans to build in the Ivy Pointe area near TQL. Our concerns have been “healed.”
Wawa will be taking over the old Mt. Carmel Kroger location. Rah-rah to Wawa for taking over a shuttered business.
Alfaa will be building on an empty lot on the corner of Aicholtz Road and Eastgate Blvd. I’m wondering if they sell alfalfa sprouts?
A local restaurant chain will be constructing a new location as part of a small strip mall on the corner of SR 32 and Mt. Carmel Tobasco Road on Yates Lane. I expect them to be rolling in dough soon.
The old Valero on the corner of Ohio Pike and Bennett Road is under new ownership. They will be tearing down the old building and constructing a new convenience and wine store. The previous condition of the property was certainly something to whine about.
Popshelf is planning a new location in the Cherry Grove Shopping Plaza. I’m looking forward to “popping” in.
Mercy Health Urgent Care will be caring for patients when their new location opens in the Cherry Grove Shopping Plaza. I’ll be “patient” while I await their grand opening.
Grocery Outlet is planning a new store in the old Bed, Bath, and Beyond location in the Eastgate Pavilion near Best Buy. They are expecting to “produce” profits.
A Hilton Hotel has been perpetually under construction near the Hampton Inn and Meijer’s. They have made certain “accommodations” and residents can “sleep well” knowing that construction has recommenced.
Construction is on-going at the Glen Este Chick-fil-A to improve and expand their restaurant and drive through lanes. No more playing “chicken” in the two merging drive through lanes. Now that’s something to “cluck” about.
Vandalia Rental is “gearing up” to move into the old Ohio Mulch location on Mt. Carmel Tobasco Road near the Days Inn.
Bubbakoo’s is “cooking up” plans to open in the previous Zoup’s location. Construction is nearing completion.
Kay Jewelers is looking at a “golden” opportunity to locate a store near Sportsman’s Warehouse.
Panda Express is looking to raze the car wash next to the Union Township library and build a new location there. It’s an “appetizing” venture.
Honda East will be “shifting gears” to “rev up” sales by expanding their operations in Cherry Grove. They might “tire,” “brake,” and “shock” you, but they are “on a roll.” Wouldn’t it be nice if they offered free samples?
Inter Parish Ministry has a food pantry under construction across from Gold Star Chili in Mt. Carmel. It’s expected to be a “full-filling” experience.
PetSuites is “grooming” a new location on Old SR 74 next to Office Max. The lot has been cleared and is ready to begin construction.
TQL will be adding an additional 1,000 jobs at its sprawling UT campus. The new southern wing will look similar to their recently added northern wing. The project is “trucking” along. “Total Quality” will be a “Logistic” requirement.
Kroger has “crushing” plans to demolish Sears and build a new 123,722 square foot Kroger Marketplace store detached from the mall. The store will include a Starbucks, drive through pharmacy, expanded deli, expanded bakery, a Murray Cheese section, sushi, expanded adult beverage section, apparel, home goods, expanded grocery section, and a Kroger fuel center with 18 fuel pumps. The fuel will be on the recently shuttered Wendy’s side of the parking lot. The northeast side of the store will have a parking area for on-line pickup. The current Kroger store on Eastgate Boulevard will likely close in coordination with opening the new Kroger Marketplace store.
Outback Steakhouse will be “firing up” a new restaurant near Meijer’s where the old Starbucks and a video store used to be. Construction has begun. The “stakes” could be high and profits are expected to “sizzle.”
Chase Bank will be relocating their Eastgate location to Eastgate Blvd near Big Lots. They are hoping to “cash-in” on the move.
Taco John’s is planning to build a new restaurant near the Sam’s Club fuel pumps near Steak n Shake. We didn’t “grill” them at the Trustee’s meeting.
