PETA Says "Bullpen" Must Go

                “People are striving to eradicate racist, sexist, homophobic, and ableist phrases (or team names) from our common language. But unfortunately, many of us also grew up hearing phrases that condone violence toward animals and perpetuate speciesism, a human-supremacist worldview. Sayings such as ‘kill two birds with one stone,’ ‘beat a dead horse,’ ‘bring home the bacon,’ and ‘bullpen’ all normalize violent acts against some of the most defenseless members of our society.”

              So says People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).

              Yes, we better shed ourselves of a human-supremacist worldview. Let’s all acknowledge the superiority of the rat, locust, or paramecium. In truth, it is woke-besotted progressives such as those found in PETA that believe they are superior and who wish to rule the world.

              Animals aren’t “members of our society.” And please explain to me how calling the area (of the baseball field) where pitchers warm up “bullpen” normalizes violent acts against animals?

PETA says the term "refers to the holding area where terrified bulls are kept before slaughter," but that has nothing to do with the historic baseball term. PETA’s claim is…ahem…so much bullshit.

But at least PETA helpfully suggested an alternative to the heinously speciesist term “bullpen.” What, you ask, is that? “Arm barn.” I kid you not.

“The Yankees’ manager is heading out to the pitcher’s mound. It looks like he wants to make a change here. Yes, he’s bringing Hector Carrera in from the arm barn.”

Doesn’t have the same ring to it. And besides, is “arm barn” really substantively different or better than “bullpen?” One would think that, in PETA’s eyes, a “barn” would be seen as a cruel, man-made structure specifically used to imprison animals against their will.

Why not the “closer cage,” “pitcher place,” or “hurler house?”

PETA should get off its high horse and stop treating language like a rented mule.

The Devil Is In The Details?

 

We’ve all heard the phrase, “the devil is in the details.” Yet sometimes the devil isn't only in the details, sometimes he is front and center. If we allow ourselves to perceive him. One such time is now. As regards the vaccine mandates that are proliferating around the world. Or the push for unfettered abortion. Or the Russian-Collusion hoax versus the Hunter Biden Ukrainian and/or Chinese-Collusion coverups. Or the climate change charade. Or the drive to eliminate the distinction between men and women, truth and lies, good and evil.

Let’s focus on vaccine mandates vis-à-vis “abortion rights” for the moment. Think about that. In the latter case, abortion proponents loudly yell (literally), “Our bodies, our choice!” Even though the entire procedure is directed at killing another human being, often solely for one’s convenience. “Pro-choice” advocates incessantly tell the government to “stay out of our uteruses.” In the former case, which does not involve directly harming—killing!-- another human, many of the same folks who are vehemently pro-choice when it comes to abortion are adamantly anti-choice and pro-experimental jab. Worried about such potentially harmful vaccine side-affects as myocarditis, Guillain-Barre syndrome, blood clots…or death? Screw you, succumb to the injection(s) anyway, you anarchist ne’er-do-well!

Remarkable. And impossible for a rational mind to truly understand.

 Ironically, the “father of lies” is the “mother of all hoaxes,” to paraphrase the late Saddam Hussein, himself a fan of Beelzebub.

Might this be the climactic showdown, the final battle of good versus evil? Are we on the verge of the rapture? Asking for a friend, because things here on earth in general-- and the United States in particular-- sure aren't rapturous right now.

The devil might be in the details, or he might be front and center, but it is a certainty he is here right now.

That so many don’t recognize this fact in the face of such evil is proof positive of that assertion.

The New Normal And What We've Lost

 

Pause a moment to reflect on how different things are now than they were just 22 months ago. “Back then” we enjoyed a roaring economy, record low unemployment for various demographic groups, energy independence……and took for granted going out to eat, going to a ballgame, or traveling the country. There was a shortage of…shortages.

How quickly things can change. And do.

Then pause a moment to reflect on how different things are now than they were at the time of the founding. Today we have grocery stores, high-tech hospitals, planes, trains and automobiles, electricity, heat on demand, air conditioning, television, smart phones, “smart homes,” and computers. And we want to blame the old, white males who bequeathed us all these things.

We have access to everything we “need” on our computer. “Social” media, games, shopping, “virtual reality,” porn. We don’t need to leave our homes or physically interact with others. In fact, we are told we can’t—or shouldn’t. Family, friends, and neighbors are devalued. Non-essential. Like our jobs. Dangerous, actually. Potential spreaders of disease.

So we sit in our cozy, temperature-controlled homes, interacting with our televisions, phones, and computers, knowing the government will take care of the rest. With the arrival of “virtual” reality we have lost the ability to recognize actual reality. And, losing that, we head into unchartered waters with no way to locate ourselves.

When one considers the immense changes wrought by technology, city life, Big Tech/Business/Media/Academia, and the modern Deep State, it is likely no other outcome was possible. That doesn’t make our present situation any more palatable, however.

The advent of “the Great Reset,” and this so-called “new normal,” renders us frailer, less devout, and less human. Instead of being thankful for the dawning of each new day, despite its inevitable hardships, we perversely seek to find meaning in victimhood, without even understanding what that truly means……ironically and needlessly victimizing ourselves. Where once we expressed and extolled gratitude, now we reward an attitude of jealously, distrust, division, greed, self-indulgence, license, and self-pity.

The farther we go down this road, the less we remember of the old normal, the more desensitized we become, and the less likely we are ever to recover what we’ve lost and who we were.

Meat-Eaters Less Depressed, Study Shows

 

Where’s the beef? It should be on your plate, apparently.

A new review published in the journal of Food Science and Nutrition has found that people who consume meat have lower levels of anxiety and depression than do vegans and vegetarians. Hah! I’m licking my chops over this story. Literally.

The extensive analysis examined 20 studies associated with meat consumption and mental health and found an undeniable association between vegetarianism or veganism and poorer mental health outcomes, according to Business Insider.  

The studies were conducted from 2001 to 2020 and represented almost 172,000 people from across four continents. Respondents were provided questionnaires in which they stated whether they ate meat or not and then answered questions about whether they experienced anxiety and depression.

The review will not make so-called “progressives” happy. During last year’s Democratic primary, current Vice President Kamala Harris insisted that "government can and should" regulate meat consumption in the interest of climate consciousness as well as healthy eating. Bill Gates, billionaire Microsoft founder and world-class do-gooder, recently decreed that the planet’s wealthier nations should stop eating beef altogether and instead switch to consuming lab-grown or plant-based "meats" to help avoid an otherwise looming climate disaster. Gates claimed, "You can get used to the taste difference.” Yes, and you can get used to psoriasis and syphilis, too.

Meat-eaters are mentally better adjusted than cud-chewers? I have no beef with that finding. I guess the vegans’ chickens are coming home to roost.

“National Strategy On Gender Equity And Equality” Just A Start For Biden Administration?

 

Vice-President Kamala Harris proudly took to Twitter to announce that the White House has issued "the first ever National Gender Strategy."

 No wonder she and President Biden haven’t had time to visit the border with Mexico.

The official document, adorned with a miniature White House under which the words “The White House” and “Washington” appear, is officially titled “National Strategy On Gender Equity And Equality.”

Rumor has it that administration officials also considered naming the vital strategic document “National Strategy On Gender Equality And Equity” before opting for “National Strategy On Gender Equity And Equality.” One unnamed official reportedly said heated debate ran on for many hours between those who thought one or the other title was itself more equal and equitable.

In any case, Americans should thank God-- well, actually Uncle Sam-- that their federal government now has an official Gender Strategy. And the administration isn’t expected to take much time to savor its accomplishment before attempting to put together a comprehensive blueprint for the consumption of baked goods. Insiders say a “National Strategy On Pastries And Bagel Eating” could be unveiled as early as next month. And that, they say, could be followed by a program detailing a national strategy for the advancement of origami.

Some “MAGA” types, and other opponents of the administration, have mocked the creation of a “national gender strategy,” and have suggested that a strategy for dealing with China, Russia, Iran or North Korea would have been more pertinent, timely, and beneficial. Other critics claim that many Americans would have preferred the rollout of programs for dealing with the border crisis, economy, national debt, and ongoing pandemic with the subsequent loss of their personal liberty.

Still other skeptics, cranks, and poke-noses contend that our high-end public servants should address topics such as how American history is taught in our public schools, the ever-increasing attacks on free speech, and the decline in both religious faith and faith in nearly all major American institutions.

You can’t please everybody. Sometimes you have to prioritize.

CNN Claims COVID-Vaccinated Less Likely To Die From Any Cause

 

CNN recently tweeted: “People who got COVID-19 vaccines were not only less likely to die from the virus, but they were less likely to die from any cause over the following months, researchers have reported.”

Sure. Now tell us the one about the three bears.

This is the flip side of the anyone who dies after testing positive for the coronavirus died of the coronavirus mantra given to hospitals and other reporting entities. Hospitals were even given a financial incentive to claim any and all deaths were due to the coronavirus. This led to reports of people whose immediate cause of death was because they were shot having their official cause of death being listed as, you guessed it, the coronavirus.

We know that people who get the jab are more likely to die from vaccine-based complications than they are from gun shots. Children are more likely to die from vaccine-based complications than they are from the coronavirus itself!

Many-- if not most-- people who experience negative side-affects from the vaccine, including death, do so within 14 days of receiving the experimental gene therapy injection. Yet, coincidentally of course, people aren’t considered fully vaccinated until after 14 days from receiving the requisite number of shots. Therefore, anyone who dies within two weeks of being fully vaccinated is considered…unvaccinated! So, in these cases, not only were the vaccines not to blame for the deaths, but the blame can even be attributed to the ranks of ignorant, stubborn, unvaccinated rubes. That’s quite a remarkable twofer if you happen to be a vaccine Nazi!

Call me a skeptic, but it stretches credulity that the mRNA gene-therapy shots are effective in protecting people from death by gun shot, car accident, lightning strike, avalanche, HIV, stab-wound, shark attack, or hurricane, for example.

Or overexposure to the toxic crap CNN spews at its viewers.

Democrats Say Tax On Wealthy Not A Wealth Tax

 

Democrats are excellent liars and masters of the euphemism. Examples are legion: abortion is “women’s health care,” tax cuts are “risky spending schemes,” and risky spending schemes such as their proposed $3.5 trillion infrastructure bill will actually cost zerodollars and miraculously pay for itself.

Currently, the Democrats “Billionaire Income Tax” proposal is being written by Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) with “input from the U.S. Treasury Department and the White House,” according to reports. Yet the Biden administration claims it is not a wealth tax.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen recently told Jake Tapper, “I think what’s under consideration is a proposal that Senator Wyden and the Senate Finance Committee have been looking at that would impose a tax on unrealized capital gains, on liquid assets held by extremely wealthy individuals, billionaires. I wouldn’t call that a wealth tax.”

Yellen wouldn’t call “a tax on assets held by extremely wealthy individuals” a wealth tax?! What would she call it?

Democrats insist that we call a man wearing a dress and a string of pearls a woman…and then turn around and say with their next breath that a tax on the wealthy is not a wealth tax.

Somewhere, Orwell blushes.

61% Of Americans Paid No Federal Income Taxes In 2020

 

Incredibly, in 2020, approximately 61% of Americans paid no federal income taxes, according to the Tax Policy Center. Therefore, approximately 39% of Americans paid all federal income taxes. They are awarded for this staggering largess by being told they need to “pay their fair share.” Their “fair share”, one might logically surmise, would be around 39% of the federal income taxes paid, not 100%. The top 20% of income earners pay about 67% of federal taxes. “Progressive,” you know. They should be lauded as pillars of the community, as not only the most productive, but the most charitable folks in society. (Whether they wanted to be or not.) Instead, they are called “greedy” by the self-same people who receive the benefits of this mass income redistribution.

  Literally stupefying.

  If you make a lot more money than I do, have more wealth than I do, and you are made to give me a bunch of it, how is it that I could possibly get away with calling you greedy? Am I not the greedy- or at least ungrateful- one?

 Then there are the top 1%, who alone pay nearly 40% of all federal income taxes. In a logical world, I’m sure they would love to pay “their fair share” of taxes. Instead, they are openly and arbitrarily shaken down. And reviled. Eat the rich.

  In 2017, the top 1% of income earners in the U.S. paid more in taxes than the bottom 90% combined. That is an amazing factoid.

And now taxpayers are supposed to fund free stuff for those who are here illegally. And watch as crime skyrockets due to insane policies that favor criminals over the police.

Speaking of the police, many have left their jobs due to the constant attacks perpetrated against them, figuratively and literally, by the likes of Antifa and BLM……and the ignorant, virtue-signaling charlatans in media, academia and Hollywood cheering those groups on.

And now, as we attempt to come out of a pandemic, truckers, pilots, teachers, healthcare workers, coaches, members of the military-- and others-- are being threatened with the loss of their jobs if they decline to receive an experimental gene therapy vaccine into their bodies. And “booster” shots after that, possibly forever.

With the ever increasing and completely illogical attacks on our society’s strong, productive and successful, the rest of us shouldn’t plan on being held aloft for much longer.

 

  It is truly incredible that Atlas has not yet shrugged.

 

 But it appears his shoulders are sagging.

 

(The author would like to apologize for continuing to assume that Atlas must be a cis-gendered male. What was Ayn Rand thinking?!)

Let's Go Brandon!

 

According to some internet reports, the Canadian government has banned its employees from saying “Let’s go, Brandon!”   

The phrase started as fed-up fans at many sports venues in the U.S. began chanting “f*ck Joe Biden,” but was deliberately covered up by NBC reporter Kelli Stavast while she was interviewing NASCAR driver Brandon Brown after a race, the “f*ck Joe Biden” chant clearly audible in the background. Stavast, intrepid reporter that she is, promptly told her audience that the fans were actually serenading Brown with “Let’s go, Brandon!”

This purportedly led to a letter from the Canadian government to its employees, dated October 14, and posted online by Peter McCaffrey, the president of the Alberta Institute. The letter claimed to be a “formal notification” that the phrase “Let’s go, Brandon”-- in any form-- is banned by the Canadian Public Service. The missive further stated that this was a “zero tolerance issue,” violation of which would result in “dismissal without recourse or labour union representation.” The Canadian Public Service (CPS) is the agency overseeing the civilian workforce of all of the Canadian government’s departments, agencies, and other public bodies, over 300,000 employees in total.

Snopes says the claim that Canada banned “Let’s Go Brandon!” is false, but that doesn’t clear anything up either, as Snopes itself is clearly biased, shades its calls, obfuscates, engages in partial truths, etc., etc. Or, as some would characterize it, traffics in fake news.

The phrase “Let’s Go Brandon!” has now become a classy and hilarious euphemism, as well as a nearly ubiquitous meme, used to express outrage at the outrageous acts of the Biden administration.

Therefore, irrespective of whether the Canadian government actually did ban the phrase, I proudly shout: “Let’s Go Brandon!”

And, while we’re at it, “Let’s Go Trudeau!” too.

Did Trump Tell Bannon To "Attack Democracy?"

 

TRUMP TOLD BANNON TO ATTACK DEMOCRACY-- AGAIN. THIS TIME THERE MAY BE CONSEQUENCES

So read the actual headline for the article by Josh Chafetz of NBC News, as posted on msn.com. I knew at a glance that the headline was far too preposterous to be true. Turns out, I was right. It was the “news” equivalent of clickbait.

Nowhere in the article was Trump quoted as saying, “Steve, I want you to attack democracy!” There was no assertion of the kind. Nothing remotely close to The Donald asking Bannon to wage war on democracy or democratic institutions. The closest the post got was in the excerpt(s) below.

Substantively, any privilege claims raised by the subpoenaed witnesses are nonsense. This is especially true of Bannon, who, as law professor Jonathan Alder pointed out, was “neither an attorney nor government official,” and therefore has no legal basis for refusing to testify. If Bannon continues to refuse to comply with the subpoena, he should not only be tried but also convicted. That is as it should be, because Bannon’s spurning of the committee strikes at the heart of democratic governance in two distinct but related ways.

 Trump has asked his former aides to defy the subpoenas; meanwhile, committee members are pointedly refusing to rule out a subpoena for Trump himself.

Trump believes—correctly—that the mad mob out to get him is engaged in a sustained “attack on democracy,” or, more correctly, our republic. There were “Democratic” politicians that were calling for Trump to be impeached before he even took office! Democrats routinely attack democracy be attempting to strip away protections from citizens granted by the Bill of Rights. They treat the Constitution, a.k.a. “the law of the land,” as if it were good for nothing but lining a parakeet’s cage. They want to pack the Supreme Court, make the federal capital a state, and eliminate the filibuster.

Democrats sponsor and support Antifa, BLM, and assorted other criminals in looting stores and burning down buildings, actual attacks on our democracy…and those who make it work.

And they are all in on attempting to repeal the unrepealable: the individual rights granted to us by our Creator. President Biden all but said “screw your freedoms” when talking to Americans about vaccine mandates. Democrats believe they not only have a right to any amount of our wealth they see fit to take “for the good of the whole,” but that they own our bodies, as well. “Your bodies, our choice,” they insist.

Trump did not tell Bannon to “attack democracy.” That is simply fake news.

So I will close by saying, “Let’s Go Brandon!”

Professor Says Jews Weaponized Weed To Make Black Men Gay

 

In light of recent events, it is tempting to say that we have seen everything now. Happily, however, we stand corrected.

              A San Francisco State University professor named Wesley Muhammad recently said he believes that Jewish people, in conjunction with the U.S. government, are using marijuana to make black men gay.

              Muhammad, a lecturer in the Africana Studies Department of SFSU’s College of Ethnic Studies, made the assertion at the Saviours Day Convention in Chicago, an official Nation of Islam event.

              Muhammad averred: "It is Jewish genius that has helped… to weaponize the weed so that it may effeminize the black male of America. And be clear, it is Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam that is standing in between the total demasculinization of the Black man in America.” 

              “Weed” may have been weaponized, but not by the Jews. If so, it is because it now contains several times more of the hallucinatory drug THC. There is no doubt that the vast majority of males of all races-- and America as a whole-- have been feminized in recent decades. Various “progressives” and societal trends have led to this enervation, but it was never a Jewish conspiracy. It is the desired result of leftist groups’ and professors’ assault on “toxic masculinity” and their purported belief that men should act more like women…and, in fact, can be women if they so choose.  

              Asserting that America and the Jews weaponized weed to make Black men gay is akin to Monty Python’s skit in which Eric Idle analyzed (fictitious) Professor Eddie Prestman’s “startling new theory” that the dinosaurs built Stonehenge. (Professor Prestman also posited that the Romans built the World Trade Center, that the FBI built the pyramids, and that chickens come from outer space.)

              A Facebook account sporting Muhammad’s name characterizes the COVID-19 pandemic as a “pestilence from heaven.” Muhammed added: "We've documented the first area codes that were devastated by coronavirus in America were Jewish area codes," strongly implying that the virus was aimed by Allah at the Jews.  

              It is more likely that the dinosaurs built Stonehenge.

Chicago Mayor Claims Police Union Trying To "Induce An Insurrection"

 

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightweight Lightfoot recently said the Chicago Fraternal Order of Police were trying to “induce an insurrection” by pushing back against vaccine mandates.

Au contraire. It is Mayor Lightfoot that is trying to subvert the Constitution, take away personal autonomy and—ironically-- institute a police state.

Tyrannical Democrats—and there doesn’t appear to be many that don’t fit that description today—are now accusing any group of people standing up for their inherent rights of fomenting an “insurrection.” A few hundred people walking through the Capitol wearing MAGA hats or Viking horns? Insurrection! A handful of parents vociferously disagreeing with a school board’s attempt to shamelessly indoctrinate their kids? Insurrection! A union of public safety officers publicly stating that they own their own bodies? Insurrection! Forget to put your car license tabs on by the expiration date? Insurrection!

For the same reasons, Democrats and their media sycophants now label anything with which they disagree “misinformation.”

This is the most dangerous time in American history since the Civil War. Back then Democrats desperately wanted to keep the institution of slavery. Today, they desperately want to enslave anyone, of any color, that believes in the primacy of inherent individual rights and the concept of limited government of, by, and for the people. That is why they mask us up, lock us down and threaten us with fines and job loss if we don’t wish to be injected with an unvetted foreign substance as if we were so many livestock.    

It is time—well past time— for Americans to reassert their birthrights. It is time—well past time—for us to remember the words of arguably the greatest document and proclamation in human history and to once again declare: “We are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

That isn’t insurrection, it is reclamation.

Governments exist to secure our natural rights, not take them away. Their only just powers are derived solely from the consent of the governed.

If we don’t now insist on that-- if we back down-- we may as well all chain ourselves to our beds or give ourselves up for medical experiments.

We don’t need to declare independence from Thomas Jefferson and the Founding Fathers, but from the likes of Lori Lightfoot—and unelected would-be tyrants like Dr. Fauci and the countless, faceless hordes of Deep State bureaucrats residing in The Swamp.

Rachel Levine Sworn In As "Four-Star Admiral"

 

 Biden administration appointee Rachel Levine was sworn in today, Tuesday, October 19th, as the nation’s first transgender four-star officer, the administration announced. Levine, who is a biological male, was first appointed U.S. Assistant Secretary for Health before being sworn in as an admiral of the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps. The USPHSCC is a 6,000-person task force that responds to health crises on behalf of the federal government, and is charged with such things as administering COVID vaccines and caring for people in the aftermath of hurricanes, etc. Levine is also the organization's first-ever “female” four-star admiral and the country’s highest ranking openly transgender official.

Levine hasn’t fully transitioned. In fact, “she” looks remarkably like a middle-aged man, largely because “she” is one. Although “she” does look good in pearls. But, really, who doesn’t?

As four-star admirals go, Levine is no Chester W. Spruance or William F. “Bull” Halsey. But, thankfully, “she” isn’t Commander, U.S. Pacific Fleet, or Chief of Naval Operations. Let’s hope Levine puts more effort into “her” new job than “she” does in appearing to be a woman.

Levine wishes to present as a cow, but that’s just bull. Apologies to Admiral Halsey.

Vice-President Harris Exploits Churches To Campaign For Democrat

 

Kamala Harris recently recorded a video to be played at over 300 Black churches across the state of Virginia. The Vice-President and Cackler-in-Chief is using the video to urge worshipers to vote for Democrat gubernatorial candidate (and former Governor) Terry McAuliffe, who is locked in an unexpectedly tight race with the Republican candidate, businessman Glenn Youngkin. Recent polls show the race to be a dead heat with each party’s candidate having leads within the margin of error.

In the video, Harris explicitly implores congregants to vote following their church services. (The upcoming election will be the first one in which Virginians will be able to vote on a Sunday.)

This is odd. I seem to recall something about the “separation of church and state.” In fact, Democrats repeat that mantra with religious zeal, as if it is the one thing they believe the Founders got right. They have used that idea as a cudgel with which to beat any Christian who might engage in public prayer, and  as proof positive that the Ten Commandments should not be allowed to be seen in a public space. Some have even suggested ridding our coins of the generic phrase “In God We Trust.”

But Harris and Democrats will get a full pass on this as they do everything else. The mainstream media wouldn’t object if Democratic-Socialists used every church, synagogue and mosque in the country in an open attempt to urge, coerce or bribe everyone to vote for every Democrat on their ballots. Even given the fact that many-- if not most-- Democrats and mainstream media members don’t believe in God, or any power higher than themselves. And have, in fact, essentially “booed” His inclusion in their party platform at their national conventions.

But hypocrisy is a fundamental part of the party platform, a core value of leftists…one they utilize in conjunction with proactive projection. Can you imagine if Vice-President Pence had made a video to be distributed to hundreds of churches urging congregants to see to the re-election of Donald J. trump? Might the media have termed the action “unseemly,” “unfair,” or worse?

We all know the answer to that. Yet, the mother of all hypocrisies is the Hunter Biden Laptop Scandal. Imagine if the media had a laptop computer of Donald Trump, Jr.’s, Eric Trump’s, or Ivanka Trump’s, that contained images of them cavorting with hookers, imbibing in illegal drugs, engaging inappropriately with a minor, and eliciting large and shady payments for access to “the big guy.” The media would not have covered that story up like Ted Kennedy trying to hide his actions in the Chappaquiddick affair. On the contrary, it would still be running “special reports” on a daily basis, even though Trump would have been run out of office and his offspring run in to prison.

U.S. Navy To Discharge The Unvaccinated

 

The U.S. Navy is preparing to discharge every one of its sailors who refuse to be vaccinated against the China Virus. Apparently, it isn’t enough that the Biden administration’s policies have caused rampant inflation, unemployment, crime, and supply chain issues. Or that it is in the process of gutting the nation’s transportation, public safety and healthcare sectors. Now it will gravely harm national security by forcing out up to 25% of our navy personnel. (This after top brass tried to purge the military of those it deemed overly patriotic or too openly Christian. No wonder suicides in the armed services rose by nearly 50% this year alone.)

It seems odd for our leaders to want to drastically reduce the number of people in the healthcare and public safety fields during an ongoing pandemic. And a concurrent explosion in crime. (They are constantly warning us that hospitals are overwhelmed and understaffed already.) It seems suicidal for them to deliberately hamper military effectiveness—particularly of our navy—at a time when global threats are rising, particularly from China.

Be that as it may, pompous, virtue-signaling, clueless clowns like General Mark A. Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, have determined that it is more important to fight ubiquitous and dangerous foes-- such as man-caused climate change, transphobia and “domestic terrorists” like those parents who disapprove of the radical curriculum being shoved down their children’s throats by school districts around the country—than it is to worry about China, Russia, North Korea, Iran, or Islamic terrorists.

Think transphobia is enough of a threat? Au contraire. Minnesota National Guard Major General Johanna Clyborne recently tweeted a complaint about yet another existential threat-- the Army’s ban on French manicures. Major General Clyborne stated: “AR 670-1 considers it an unnatural color. You can however wear an American manicure but it’s a weird pink that doesn’t look as nice. Balancing a civilian professional look with the easy of switch in and out of uniform as often as I do and still be compliant can be a challenge.” Is this an example of Gallic-phobia?

But back to China. China loosed the coronavirus on the world, with some reports alleging it did so, deliberately or not, during the World Military Games in Wuhan in October of 2019. Is it not ironic that China has fared far better than most of the rest of the world after its virus was set free? And is it not interesting that most of the formerly free world’s governments suddenly began acting like that of Communist China’s and promptly began restricting or eviscerating their citizen’s rights and freedoms?

Isn’t it also a remarkable coincidence that the U.S. Navy is set to neuter itself at the very moment that China is threatening Taiwan as never before? The self-same navy that would be the most important asset and actor in a possible defense of Taiwan.

What’s more, according to NTD News, more people in Taiwan have died from the vaccine than the virus.

As bad as the China Virus is, our governments’ reaction to it has been far worse.

The United States was born via a freedom mandate, the Declaration of Independence. It has since replaced that with mask and vaccine mandates. Once upon a time we liberated nations like France. Now we enslave our own people…and prevent them from serving, the hell with the rest of the world, unless they all want to come and live here.

As I have previously written here and elsewhere, COVID-1984 could essentially end our republic.

It may well lead to the end of the Republic of China (Taiwan), as well.

Will it simply be a “coincidence” if we allow Taiwan to be absorbed by China?

Or will China’s actions—and our governments’ responses—be as chickens that have predictably come home to roost? In other words, was all of this planned?

Aspirin Now Joins Ranks Of Hydroxychloroquine, Ivermectin "Experts" Say

 

Hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin are two drugs that have been around for a long time and therefore have been thoroughly vetted. They are effective, relatively low cost, and highly efficacious. They have proven to be effective in preventing and/or ameliorating more severe symptoms of the coronavirus. Ivermectin is also an effective malaria deterrent and is widely used in Africa for just that reason. (Africa has 12.5 percent of the world’s population but has suffered less than 5 percent of the world’s coronavirus fatalities. Coincidence?)

Yet, our political leaders and “health experts,” in conjunction with Big Pharma, Big Tech and Big Media, all tell us that not only shouldn’t we use these wonder drugs, but we can’t even talk about them in a positive light. Or talk about them at all. Because COVID-19 vaccines are the way, the truth, and the light. Period. So help us God Dr. Fauci.

Ergo, when new research from George Washington University determined that treating COVID patients with aspirin reduced the risk of severe illness by nearly half, I knew that it was only a matter of time until anti-aspirin articles and rhetoric started appearing. Turns out, it was only a matter of hours. Despite the fact that health experts have been touting the benefits of an aspirin a day for many years now.

George Washington University’s report noted that an aspirin regimen, in more than 400 COVID-19 patients in hospitals across the United States, cut the need for ventilation by 44%, slashed ICU admission by 43%, and reduced overall in-hospital mortality rates by 47%.

Dr. Jonathan Chow, one of the study's researchers, said: "As we learned about the connection between blood clots and COVID-19, we knew that aspirin — used to prevent stroke and heart attack — could be important for COVID-19 patients. Our research found an association between low-dose aspirin and decreased severity of COVID-19 and death."

Pfizer and companies aren’t going to like that report. So, add aspirin (notice the generic description) to the list of treatments you are not supposed to use to combat the China Virus. Even though it, like vitamin D and almost everything else but the vaccines, appears to be effective in fending off the Wuhan Flu.

So, predictably, a U.S. “expert panel” is now recommending against older adults taking low-dose aspirin. The  panel didn’t mention the coronavirus or the pandemic, only that, suddenly and for the first time, their studies show that a daily aspirin regimen doesn’t really prevent heart attacks.

The “U.S. Preventive Services Task Force” said, in a recent draft recommendation statement, that initiating aspirin use for the primary prevention of a first heart attack or stroke in adults aged 60 years or older has no net benefit. The panel noted that aspirin use by older adults increases the risk of potentially life-threatening internal bleeding and outweighs the benefits. That’s funny. The very folks that many-- if not most-- doctors have for decades claimed would benefit most from aspirin are those now being told by the USPSTF not to take it. And those 60 and over are also the ones at a much higher risk for coronavirus complications than younger folks. Hmmm.

The plot thickens. Much like one’s blood after acquiescing to take the Johnson and Johnson jab or the Pfizer prick.

What's really going on here? 

Masking Our Humanity, Swapping Religions

 

The elites’ responses to the pandemic have destroyed countless careers, bank accounts and businesses. The mandates and lockdowns have destroyed many lives and have spawned loneliness, hopelessness, depression and even madness in millions more.

The pandemic-- and governments’ reaction to it—has caused us to lose our sanity, our humanity, and even our ability to distinguish between the sacred and the profane.

Mask mandate apostates and vaccine mandate infidels are being mocked, abused, and threatened. They are having their livelihoods taken from them along with basic freedoms.

We are replacing a religion founded on love and the promise of eternal life with one of fear, distrust, obsequiousness and opacity.

Last Christmas, the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Turin, Italy, put up a large indoor Nativity scene that would have been beautiful and uplifting to look at — were it not for the cloth masks covering everyone’s faces.

Similarly, in Bilbao, Spain, the diocesan Museum of Sacred Art featured a Nativity scene featuring masked figurines…and a Christmas star made out of masks and gloves.  And a crib made out of toilet paper rolls.

Mary and Joseph and the baby Jesus wearing masks? Jesus’ crib made from rolls of toilet paper?

We are now trying to make God into our pathetic image(s). Why would the Virgin Mary or the Son of God need to wear a mask? Maybe this year’s Nativity scenes will show them sporting vaccine passports.

Are these displays supposed to be cute? Funny? Or a symbol of how deadly serious the pandemic is?

Displays such as these are idiotic and blasphemous.

What they are trying to cover up-- and why-- however, is ironically very revealing.

How About Safe Spaces For Me?

I get tired of progressive snowflakes and professional offense-seekers claiming that Republicans and conservatives somehow make them “afraid.” They claim any opinion, belief or ideal—whether written or spoken—that in any way diverges from their own is an existential threat to their mental and physical health. They believe that this (free) speech is violence and should be outlawed but that actual violence committed in the furtherance of their goals is (free) speech…and fully protected by the First Amendment. If, Gaia forbid, they happen to stumble across the truth, they run for their safe spaces like John Kerry in search of a camera.

Well, I too, get scared. I am afraid of Biden and his administration. I “don’t feel safe” with leftist wackos running the country. And with damn good reason, I might add. Everything is going to hell in a handbasket. Our foreign policy is in shambles. We have gone from the one true superpower to an international joke in nothing flat. Prices of goods and services are skyrocketing. There is a severe labor shortage in a time of high unemployment. We are no longer energy independent, and some are predicting that rolling blackouts will span the nation this winter, to add to the sudden shortage of most other consumables. More Americans have died from COVID-19 in the first 10 months of 2021 than perished from the China Virus in all of 2020. Worse, every one of the U.S. government’s intelligence agencies have been tasked with surveilling, harassing-- and potentially imprisoning-- the roughly 40%-50% of Americans who still believe in the founding principles of their nation. Christian? Patriotic? Believe in limited government of, by, and for the people and the rule of law? Think our rights are unalienable and granted to us by our Creator? Then you are a “domestic terrorist.” And you will be placed on a list that no one wants to be on.

We are a long, long way from “Father Knows Best.” Incredibly, many Americans now believe that government knows best. Somewhere, Jefferson weeps. The vast majority of so-called Americans are okay with government telling them that they must allow an unvetted foreign substance into their bodies, no questions asked, or have their freedoms—and their jobs-- curtailed or eliminated.

I don’t feel safe with vaccine mandates. Or lockdowns. Or mask mandates. Or with a ruling elite telling me that my job is “not essential.” Or that I must use certain pronouns/words when addressing certain people. Or that I must believe that a man can be a woman or vice-versa.

I did feel safe when Ronald Reagan was president (Ronald “Ray-gun” as many liberal morons called him). And when Donald Trump was in office.

But I don’t feel safe when those in power try to take my Second Amendment rights away from me, effectively telling me I can’t defend myself or my family, and that our lives just aren’t that important. No more “necessary” than our jobs, I guess.

I don’t feel safe when ill-educated, over-indoctrinated, faceless automatons in the Deep State try to dictate to elected officials and citizens alike.

I don’t feel safe when the president of the United States curtsies to tyrants like the Supreme Leader of Iran, Sayyid Ali Hosseini Khamenei, or Xi Jinping.

 

I don’t feel safe when they openly declare their intentions to teach our kids to judge each other based on their skin color, via the 1619 Project, etc.

And I sure as hell don’t feel safe when truth is referred to as “misinformation.”

 

Today’s “liberals” mistake strength for warmongering, candor for hate speech, and the truth for “The Big Lie.”

And, yes, I am “afraid” for my country when I watch so many fellow citizens blithely, docilely give up their God-given rights to the ruling elite.

The Left works tirelessly to sap Americans’ independence and integrity and make them dependent on…The Left. The Biden administration tries to divide Americans by sowing envy and distrust and by coercing everyone to emphasize our (race, ethnicity, gender, class, etc., etc.) differences. This, too, is the opposite of the erstwhile American creed of E pluribus unum, “out of many, one.” And it has effectively made many fear and detest each other. Tragically, a large percentage of Americans have turned away from each other—and God--  and looked to the government for support and redress. This never ends well.

As Thomas Jefferson said, "When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny." This has, historically, always been the case.

Ironically, the government does not fear us now because too many of us don’t fear the government.

It is time to change that.
