The crazy politicization of science, medicine, and everything continues… A Rolling Stone story about the Nobel prize winning “horsepaste” drug, Ivermectin, blew up the news media last week. The story claimed that an Oklahoma hospital was so overrun with patients who had overdosed on Ivermectin that shooting victims were forced to wait for treatment. Pretty much the whole story was wrong,… Read More The dog and pony [paste] show
Pro-abortion activists are not taking pro-life legislation in Texas very well at all. Corporations were quick to show their support for “women’s health,” pledging to pay legal fees for anyone found violating the law. The Department of Justice has also announced that it is suing Texas for violating constitutional rights. The usual absurdities arose from Twitter’s death eaters, with… Read More Deep in the heart of Texas
Four terrorists traded for the safe return of US soldier, Bowe Bergdahl, are now part of the Afghan government. Journalists pointed out at a White House press conference that there are more terrorists in the new Afghan government than women. That would seem a useless thing to highlight, except that the Biden administration had insisted that the Taliban install… Read More Diverse and inclusive
Fox has reported on leaked emails, showing that pressure from teachers’ unions caused the CDC to change its guidelines on masking in schools. Follow the science, indeed. The CDC has released data on the COVID death rate for kids and it’s really low. God be praised! Dr. Fauci is in trouble, after a new report added weight to the accusation that… Read More Let’s see who’s REALLY behind the mask
President Biden lurched a little more totalitarian last week, mandating that staff at companies with 100 or more employers must be vaccinated against COVID or be tested weekly. (Except for Members of Congress, who apparently have a right to privacy and can’t be forced to be vaccinated.) The announcement was made during a troubling speech in which the… Read More This won’t hurt a bit
If you’re still reading this, then it means you’re probably not one of that massively cynical consensus, gradually being driven insane by their devices. Rather, you resent the evident crossbreeding of abused trusts in the power of the surveillance state programmed into your friends and neighbors by the superpower of dissent mitigation waged as media… Read More Refuse to Complicate
Job creation numbers were much lower than expected this August with only 230,000 positions added. Quite a bit less than the predicted 720,000. Yet other news reports suggest there is a labor shortage, not a job shortage. McDonalds in Oregon is hiring 14 and 15 year olds. Amazon has said it will drop the marijuana screening requirement in order to recruit… Read More Wide open market
Not the Bee brought attention to an interview from 1976, with sci-fi author Arthur C. Clarke. Clarke proposes that the future would see people using a screen and keyboard for news and shopping . He also looked forward to radio wrist watches and phones that are “mobile.” The writer said he likes the idea that future media consumers… Read More Life imitating art?
While much of the West debates what is meant by “man” and “woman,” the government of China has banned “non-masculine” men from television or guys who spend pay too much attention to their appearance. The move seems to be part of recent shake up on the part of the CCP to discourage “unhealthy attention to celebrities” and… Read More No sissys allowed
A University of Michigan study claims that some foods take time off your life. Crunching the numbers on nutritional value and amount of processing, they concluded that a hot dog will cost you 35 minutes of healthy life. Sort of like hearts in an RPG… They also decided to rate food according to its “environmental impact,”… Read More How much for the hot dog?
