Another Russian Doctor Falls Out A Window To His Death

 

            Yet another Russian involved with COVID-19 treatments has fallen out of a window and died. Biologist Alexander “Sasha” Kagansky, 45, known for his work fighting cancer, reportedly fell from a 14th floor window of a St Petersburg residential high-rise building…while clad only in his underwear. Oh, and he had a stab wound on his body according to Moskovsky Komsomolets (MK). Nothing to see here. Happens all the time.

Actually, in Russia, it does. No fewer than six Russians plunged to their deaths from hospital windows earlier this year. Another, Dr. Alexander Shulepov, 37, survived but remains hospitalized with head injuries after “falling” from a second-floor window shortly after complaining about personal protective equipment (PPE) shortages and being made to work despite suffering from the virus.

            Kagansky, who was recently the Director of the Centre for Genomic and Regenerative Medicine at Russia's Far Eastern Federal University in Vladivostok, had been working on coronavirus treatments before he sailed out the window. The Russian Investigative Committee has opened a murder probe into his death, and a 45-year-old male suspect has been detained. The suspect, reportedly a friend of Dr. Kaganksy, claimed that the biologist was in a mentally unstable state before his death and that he injured himself with a knife, according to Bild. He further claimed that Kaganksy jumped from the balcony when he tried to take the weapon from him. Right. He stabbed himself and jumped out the window.

              In any case, Russian windows are oddly and exceedingly dangerous to doctors and patients alike. Earlier this year, Natalya Shcherbakova, 45, fell to her death after being treated for the coronavirus.

Dr. Yelena Nepomnyaschchava, 47, also fell to her death…after complaining about “acute shortages”' of PPE.

Dr. Natalya Lebedeva, 48, fell to her death while being treated for Covid-19…after she was blamed for the spread of coronavirus at her clinic.  

Nadezhda Salkovae, 74, also fell to her death while being treated for Covid-19.

As did an unidentified man, 68, from a window in the intensive care ward of Veterans' Hospital in Yaroslavl.

Yet another man, 49, fell 60 feet to his death from the window of a Moscow prenatal hospital which had been reassigned to treat victims of the pandemic…while being treated for Covid-19. 

 Family members of the victims have suggested the coronavirus sufferers may have been experiencing suicidal thoughts from the drugs that were used to treat them, causing them to try and kill themselves. 

              Call me a skeptic, but I have to say “Nyet” to that suggestion. People don’t routinely throw themselves out of windows, whether from the second story or the fourteenth, because of medication. And how the hell are they getting out of windows in supposedly secure and monitored areas like intensive care wards?

The only thing we can say with certainty is that sanity, like the bodies of these now deceased Russians, has gone out the window. 

Christmas Really About Feminist Empowerment, Says Progressive Theologian

 

In case leftists haven’t perpetrated enough hoaxes or issued enough preposterous statements for you lately, here is another. United Church of Christ Rev. Jes Kast recently posted on Twitter: "Christmas season is about God choosing a woman to lead a revolution of re-organizing the structures of societal power by her leadership, tenderness, and faith." Um, not entirely sure about that one, Jes. Some of us believe that Christmas has something to do with Christ, specifically His birth as the Son of God and Savior of the world. You might want to restrict your lectures on feminist empowerment and Marxist theory to the rest of the year and “let” Jesus Christ be the focus of the Christmas season.

A United Church of Christ spokesperson noted in 2011 that the church had committed to “using inclusive and expansive imagery for God and would “no longer use exclusively male language to refer to God.” The denomination's Twitter bio reads: "United in Spirit and inspired by God's grace, we accept all, love all, and seek justice for all. We are the United Church of Christ." Really?

Does the church make any distinction between, say, serial child rapists and, oh, those that don’t serially rape children? Or does it love them all equally and without judgement? Does its “inclusive and expansive imagery for God” include God as a transvestite or transgender? Agender? Pansexual? What are God’s preferred pronouns? Jesus’? Should we refer to Jesus as “they,” or perhaps “Xir?” Has the church updated all its Bibles, hymnals, and other literature to reflect its awe-inspiring inclusiveness? Has it fully leveraged its arrogant wokeness and virtue-signaling to appeal to a younger, hipper, more progressive potential flock, even as it’s sold its soul for what it deems to be the higher moral imperative of diversity?

What we need to do is reorganize the structures of societal power so that power is stripped from the elites who believe themselves to be greater than both the citizens they rule over and the God those citizens believe in…and return it to the citizens they so disdain.

The belief and primacy of Natural Law is the only possible way a free and just society can be sustained. That is simply a historical—and natural—fact, though controversial in all statist and tyrannical societies. It is not an opinion, it is a reality. This was the defining factor that made the United States different than other nations, and, to the extent the U.S. has strayed from that belief, it has been to its great and rapid detriment. Simply put, if our rights don’t come from our Creator (and none of us created ourselves, did we?), then they come from man. Or woman. Bob. Or Brunhilda. Or a group of people. Republicans or Democrats, Fascists or Communists. And, if that’s the case, then none of us have any inherent rights outside of those they grant us. So, if the government wishes to incarcerate us or exterminate us, too bad, so be it.

The Bible says God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, so that everyone who believes in Him may not perish but may have everlasting life. Our rulers want us to believe in them, too-- but would Nancy Pelosi, Angela Merkel, Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong un, or the Chinese Communist Party make that same sacrifice, that same promise?

 

College May Drop "Pioneer" Mascot, Logo

 

Marietta College (in Marietta, Ohio) is considering changing its mascot, Putnam the Pio, and its accompanying logo, a pioneer, because of concerns over possible "lack of inclusivity." Putnam the Pio was installed as Marietta College’s official mascot only six years ago, in 2014. He is modeled after General Rufus Putnam, the founder of the first permanent settlement in the Northwest Territory, and a combatant in the American Revolutionary War…two seemingly great accomplishments and positive attributes.

Nonetheless, according to a recent email sent to the campus community by Marietta College President Bill Ruud, a 12-month review of the mascot and logo is now underway. Ruud wrote: "In light of recent events around our country and feedback from alumni and other friends of the College, Marietta College will undergo a thorough review of its Pioneer Mascot. This 12-month process makes official the preliminary discussions our leadership team and I have been having with interested alumni constituents throughout this past summer and fall, as well as with the Board of Trustees and Marietta College Alumni Association.” 

Here is the Merriam-Webster definition of “pioneer”: 1) a member of a military unit usually of construction engineers. 2a) a person or group that originates or helps open up a new line of thought or activity or a new method or technical development. 2b) one of the first to settle in a territory. How can any of these by offensive? Surely constructing something out of the wilderness in the Revolutionary Era was a good thing. And how could any card-carrying progressive take issue with a person who opens up “a new line of thought” or method of technical development? Open-mindedness and science are both excellent things, no? But maybe some will say that the “pioneers” were not the first to settle anywhere in the U.S. and are interlopers on “stolen” land. If that should be their complaint, then they cannot logically, simultaneously welcome illegal aliens…or any immigrants, for that matter…into the country now.

What a strange and sad time we live in, when Putnam the Pio is considered problematic but Hunter the Pedo is not.

 

 

 

 

Actress Says "Stand Your Ground" Laws Immoral

 

Actress-- and abortion activist-- Elizabeth Banks berated "Stand Your Ground" laws in a recent Twitter thread, calling them "BS" and nothing but "permission to kill people." The laws to which she was referring “allow” individuals, in the 25 states where they have been adopted, to defend themselves against intruders, thieves and potential murderers. Yet Banks, an outspoken supporter of a woman's right to abort babies, claims the laws exist only to aid "people who want justified reasons to use a deadly weapon."

Like, say, using a curette to kill a baby for your own convenience?

It is inconceivable, unbelievable, preposterous in the extreme that we now have people so dumb, unaware, egotistical, flat out evil…or some combination of these…that they think defending one’s own life against a criminal attack is immoral, but taking the life of another—innocent-- person for one’s own convenience is a natural right, enshrined in the Constitution, nothing more than “women’s health care.”

Ohio To Allow Wrestling But Not Handshakes

 

              Some things just make one say “hmmm.” But, everything doesn’t have to make sense, especially not in a COVID-19 world. Which is nice, because almost nothing does. Take Ohio’s decision to allow high school wrestling matches this late fall and winter. That isn’t necessarily the head-scratching part, however. Yes, it is the most physical of all sports, with contestants grappling and grabbing each other’s body parts like Democratic politicians at a drunken orgy. What is inexplicable is that the wrestlers won’t be allowed to shake hands before or after their matches. That’s right, they can be face to face, grab each other’s crotches, and stuff their noses in backsides and armpits for nine floppy, sweaty minutes a match, but will not be permitted to shake the hands of-- or high-five-- their opponents. Or coaches. In the interests of safety, of course. Fist-bumping is right out.

            Additionally, the combatants must not congregate “before or after practices or games,” must “observe social distancing of 6 feet” while on the team bench, and must not “share equipment, towels, facial coverings, water bottles, other drinks or food.” Additionally, they must wear facial coverings at all times “when not actively competing or warming up.” (In other words, when not exerting and breathing hard.) Moreover, coaches will not be permitted to share “clipboards, whiteboards, dry erase boards or any other equipment used for coaching purposes.”

              Wrestling officials, who spend much of each match prone on the mat (inches away from the grunting, maskless wrestlers) looking for “pins,” will also not be required to wear masks during matches but will be forbidden from holding up the winning wrestler’s arm at the match’s conclusion. Right.

              This is just part and parcel with the illogic and insanity that has permeated officials’ and experts’ responses to the coronavirus plandemic. It’s okay to shop at Costco, Walmart, Target, and massive shopping centers, but not to eat at a local restaurant or go to the gym. Or help your neighbor carry in the items they purchased at Costco, Walmart, Target, and massive shopping centers. Got it?

              So go ahead, per our experts, and have sex with a stranger, but do not kiss them or shake their hand before or after having vaginal, anal, or oral sex with them! Because, you know, it’s always better to be safe.

Trans Insanity

 

“Zinnia Jones,” an American transgender commentator with her own YouTube fan page, recently argued that children should be legally able to consent to the administration of puberty blockers. "If children can't consent to puberty blockers which pause any permanent changes, even with the relevant professional evaluation,” she asked on Twitter, “how can they consent to the permanent and irreversible changes that come with their own puberty with no professional evaluation whatsoever?" You’ve got to be kidding me. We can’t consent to puberty, it happens naturally. We can’t consent to having two legs and either a penis or a vagina, either. God doesn’t need our consent. No matter how hard we try, we can’t “consent” to being born. But, I’m sure that will be the next big “progressive” issue. They will argue for consent to go through puberty, be a boy or a girl, and to be born…but not for consent to be aborted, of course! The kid doesn’t get that choice!

Jones further argued that “an inability to offer informed consent or understand the long-term consequences is actually an argument for putting every single cis and trans person on puberty blockers until they acquire that ability. An inability to offer informed consent or understand the long-term consequences of a healthy process that happens naturally and has been doing so since humans arrived on the planet is actually an argument for artificially stopping that process by injecting every child with chemicals that block the process from happening? That’s perfectly illogical. It’s like saying an inability to offer informed consent or understand the long-term consequences of aging is actually an argument for freezing kids cryogenically until they acquire that ability.

Jones’ comments are particularly remarkable in light of the increasing number of people who “transitioned” in their youth, fervently regret it, and now wish to go back to the gender of their birth. But she stated in her tweet thread that puberty became "optional" when technology was developed to "enable deliberate choice between natal puberty and puberty induced by cross-sex hormones.” Rather like how human intimacy became “optional” when technologically advanced sex dolls were developed. Or how reality became optional with the advent of virtual reality.

Unsurprisingly, Jones, who was “assigned” male at her birth (which she did not consent to), is an atheist who has posted numerous videos critical of religion. “Her” profile states: "After years identifying as a gay male, Zinnia finally came to the conclusion that she was actually a trans woman in 2011 and started a romantic relationship with her close friend and lesbian Heather McNamara, becoming an adoptive mother towards Heather's two children. Zinnia is currently in a polyamorous relationship with Heather and another trans woman named Penny.”

 Does this mean that Heather the lesbian is in a relationship with two people with male genitalia? These things can get kind of confusing. What could go wrong? But I digress.

  By Jones’ logic, why not put every kid on assisted suicide waiting lists, too, until each of them decides if he/she/they/xir/zie/etc. consents to growing up? (If they haven’t already been aborted.)

Many of us no longer wish to give our consent to the things that we can control and that should require it, like the decision to cover our own breathing apparatus with masks. But we do want veto power over natural processes and God’s will. Amazing.

Our arrogance and idiocy grow together, as does our ignorance and wickedness. Sorry to say, this does not bode well.

 

 

 

Breakdancing To Be An Olympic Sport In 2024

 

              It is the end of the world as we know it.

              “Breakdancing” is going to be an Olympic sport at the Paris 2024 event. (If mankind makes it to 2024. And is not locked down by another plandemic pandemic.)

              Yes, breakdancing is among four “sports” that the Paris organizers have opted to add to The Games of the XXXIII Olympiad. The other three are “sport climbing,” skateboarding and surfing. It seems the International Olympic Committee (IOC) is keen to introduce more inclusive, youth-centered, and gender-balanced (or gender-neutral) games to the stodgy, stuffy old Olympic Games. The four additional sports have a few things in common. They are all easy to take up, popular with today’s youth, and have large, active followings on social media. The IOC thinks the addition of these sports will inspire millions more kids to partake of them…and, more importantly, watch the Olympic Games.

              So, baseball is out at the Summer Olympics but breakdancing is in. Surely line dancing and “twerking” will be Olympic sports in 2028. Such is the world in which we live.

In keeping with the drive for inclusiveness, perhaps Yachtzee, Tiddlywinks or tag could be added soon? Or “Pin The Tail On The Donkey?” On second thought, these are all, like, so yesterday. (Though the latter could be updated to “Pin The Tail On The Trump Supporter.”) Perhaps Pokémon Go would be a better fit. Video games will soon be added en masse, I’m sure.

Even if we are still plagued by a pandemic—or just rulers who like to exercise their power over us—there are still opportunities for holding the games while observing proper social distancing etiquette. All “athletes” from every nation taking part in the games would have to wear at least one facial mask, of course. The four new Paris sports would fit nicely into the guidelines, seeing as how they are all usually engaged in individually and at a distance. Hide and Seek could be added (see the classic Monty Python skit), with one nation’s entrant trying to avoid being found by another’s for as long as possible. That’s competitive social distancing!

And there’s always Solitaire, the iconic card game for one.

Ironically, the less autonomy and freedom we have, the more we express it alone. And remember, “Being apart helps bring us together!”

 

 

Systemic Discrimination In America

 

There is systemic discrimination, racism and bigotry in this country today.

It is directed against small business owners, conservatives, straight white “cis”-males, Christians, the middle class, firearm owners, traditionalists, those inhabiting flyover country, and Trump supporters. (Reverse intersectionality ensures that those who are members of more than one of these groups face increasing vitriol.) In fact, the only ones not targeted by structural, systemic discrimination and hate speech are leftist elites, certain of their favored identity groups, Antifa, and members of the Black Lives Matter movement (BLM).

Don’t believe it? Think of Affirmative Action, race-based admissions policies, IRS harassment of conservative groups and individuals, Hollywood’s near ubiquitous portrayal of white businessmen and Christians as deeply flawed or downright evil, and late-night “comedians” ceaseless (and humorless) attacks on all things Trumpian/Republican. For starters. Study after study shows that the mainstream media have presented President Trump and stories surrounding his administration in a negative light roughly 90 to 95 percent of the time…while fawning over Joe Biden and former President Barack Obama. Almost every newspaper and magazine features page after page of smears, innuendo and outright lies about Trump and his every action, while proffering glowing coverage on his political opponents.

And then there is Big Tech. The giant social media companies have made a mockery of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (CDA), which indemnifies “platforms” from potential legal issues stemming from their content. They have eagerly utilized the benefits the act grants to those entities supposedly not censoring and discriminating content, while continually censoring and discriminating content, including that of the President of the United States, in the manner of a partisan “publisher.”

Big Tech and its founders should be embarrassed and shamed. Those that comprise it have been traitorous to their country, the system that fostered their stunning success, the ideals that they supposedly once held dear…and, ultimately, to themselves.

In the past few weeks, this bigotry culminated in the various forces of deceit, discrimination, intimidation, and marginalization coalescing in systemic fashion to steal the 2020 presidential election from President Trump and between 73 and 80+ million Americans.

Discrimination usually stems from one group of people believing they are superior in one or more respects to others. Statists, elitists, Socialists, Marxists, totalitarians—call them what you will-- believe they know how to govern a society better than anyone else. They also believe they know how to run your life better than you do. This necessarily leads them to drastically limit your freedoms while leaving themselves free to do as they please.

The Founders knew this, which is why they believed in a limited, republican form of government. The Tenth Amendment to the Constitution states: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. It is why they created the three co-equal branches of government (that Rep. Ocasio-Cortez couldn’t name), a bicameral legislature and the Electoral College.

“The Swamp” is almost unimaginably wide and deep. Those in the vast left-wing conspiracy are actively seeking to dismantle all the checks and balances the Founders put in place. Because they are impediments to their power. And, to them, that is the only thing that matters. As we have seen, time and time again, they will use intimidation, “cancellation,” discrimination, violence, looting, burning and theft to get what they desire.

They now essentially control all the major institutions in the country. When they get control of all three branches of government, it will be nearly impossible for the rest of us to regain our freedoms. We could scream “discrimination,” but they won’t care. Or we could run for our “safe spaces”…but they would probably already have mandated that we be there.

The 2020 U.S. Collegiate Debate Quarterfinals

 

Spingold Theater, Brandeis University

Waltham Massachusetts

Moderator: “Welcome to the 2020 U.S. National College Debate Tournament Quarterfinals! Tonight’s match pits Cornell University against Brandeis University. Cornell is represented by the Cornell Speech and Debate Union, or CSDU, Brandeis by the Brandeis Academic Debate And Speech Society, or BADASS for short. There are just the two teams, each consisting of three speakers. Each team has three constructive speeches, and three rebuttal speeches. The affirmative gives the first constructive speech, and the rebuttals alternate: negative, affirmative, negative, affirmative. Each topic will be worded as a proposition of policy requiring the affirmative to support a specified action by some particular individual or group. The opposing team will then rebut. As you can see, everyone is wearing a facial mask and is spaced six feet from their nearest team member. Let’s get started, shall we?

The first round will have Brandeis, as the home squad, taking the affirmative position, while Cornell, the visitor, will rebut. Are you ready ladies and gentlemen?”

Both teams immediately look distressed and simultaneously blurt out, “You can’t assume we are all ‘ladies and gentlemen!’ Some of us may be non-binary, two-spirited or non cis-gender! And remember to ask us about our preferred pronouns!”

Cornell’s captain: “And what about safe spaces?”

Moderator (looking sheepish): “I’m sorry, people. (Looks around to see if anyone is offended by that description.) And yes, each team has its own safe space. The separate rooms are located just to each squad’s right, and are the regulation 10’ X 12’ and have been supplied with Play-Doh, warm cookies, and an adorable puppy. May we get started now?”

Both team captain’s nod.

Moderator: “Great. First topic. RESOLVED: That, in order to protect law-abiding citizens, law enforcement agencies in the United States should be given greater freedom in the investigation and prosecution of crime.”

All members of both teams scream, plug their ears with their fingers and run for their respective safe spaces.

Moderator (crestfallen and a little surprised): “CSDU, BADASS, was it something I said? Come back out here now, please.”

The team captains holler from within their safe rooms, “No! Law enforcement is a tool of the white patriarchy to suppress and brutalize peoples of color, members of the LGBTQIIA+ community, and other marginalized peoples! We must defund the police and demolish all the prisons!”

 

Moderator: “All right, we’ll throw that question out. Come back out for the next question, please.”

 

The teams return.

 

Moderator: “RESOLVED: The U.S. must take steps to make sure that no future Wuhan Virus can disrupt American’s lives, destroy America’s economy and lead to the elimination of our cherished freedoms.”

All members of both teams scream, plug their ears with their fingers and run for their respective safe spaces.

Moderator (resigned): “Yes?”

 

The team captains holler from within their safe rooms, “It is blatant xenophobia and bigotry to label the coronavirus the ‘Wuhan Virus!’ China is a respected member of the world community. It is the U.S. that has committed countless crimes against humanity!”

 

Moderator: “Take your time. Next question when you are ready.”

 

Brandeis captain (ten minutes later): “We’re coming out now. By-the-way, we’re out of cookies.” (Both teams slowly return.)

 

Moderator: “Okay, we’ll toss that one, too. Next topic. RESOLVED: The U.S. federal government should ban the manufacture, sale and use of plastic straws.”

 

Brandeis team member: “Yes, of course. The use of plastic straws poses a threat to wildlife around the planet, imperils the world’s oceans, and many of these straws end up stuck in the noses of turtles and other marine species. It’s heartbreaking.”

 

Moderator: “Cornell to rebut…”

 

Cornell team member: “We utterly disagree. It is not enough to ban plastic straws. All plastics should be outlawed, including straws, disposable silverware, bottles, bags, bobblehead dolls, and even the little pieces that go on the ends of your shoelaces, whatever they are called. Moreover, anyone caught with any of these items should be sent to prison for life!”

 

Moderator: “But I thought prisons should be demolished and outlawed?”

 

Cornell team member: “Um, I meant that anyone caught with a plastic item should be promptly sent to a re-education camp, not a prison.”

 

Moderator: “Okay. Next topic. RESOLVED: The federal government should make it illegal for the National Anthem to be played at any sporting event or governmental function.”

 

Brandeis team member: “Yes. The National Anthem is a symbol of xenophobia, racism, misogyny and abuse of indigenous peoples. It is a pathetic anachronism in the year 2020.”

 

Cornell team member: “We disagree. The National Anthem is a symbol of xenophobia, racism, misogyny, abuse of indigenous peoples and a slap in the face of the LGBTQIIA+ community. We should not only ban it…but replace it, with John Lennon’s magnificent ‘Imagine.’”

Moderator: “Well said. Final topic. RESOLVED: President Donald J. Trump is an existential threat to the world, as is man-caused climate change.”

 

Cornell team member: “Well, duh! Of course. I mean, no serious person can dispute that.”

 

Brandeis team member: “Well, duh! I mean, obviously! Like, hello?! Those are just, like, scientific facts.”

Ben & Jerry's Honors Colin Kaepernick With New Ice Cream Flavor

              Iconic left-wing ice cream manufacturer Ben & Jerry’s recently announced that it is releasing a new flavor in honor of former NFL quarterback-cum-activist Colin Rand Kaepernick. In a nod to Kaepernick’s veganism, the Vermont-based dairy-product dispenser issued a press release stating that the new confection is a non-dairy flavor called “Change the Whirled,” which consists of a caramel sunflower butter base with fudge chips and graham cracker and chocolate cookie swirls. An anonymous source tells me Change the Whirled beat out other flavors and names including “Whirled Peas” and “Black Chives Matter.”

The company’s statement said the new flavor "celebrates Kaepernick's courageous work to confront systemic oppression and to stop police violence against black and brown people. Ben & Jerry's believes Kaepernick represents the very best of us, willing to use his power and platform in the pursuit of equity and justice rooted in a commitment to love and resistance.” And attention and virtue-signaling. The company added, "We are so inspired by Colin Kaepernick's bold activism for racial justice that we did what we do best: We whipped up a euphoric flavor to honor his work. ... we're proud to be working with a dedicated activist like Colin Kaepernick, whose work helped spark the international conversation around racial justice."

The company forgot to add, “We are so pleased to be able to play a small part in helping to dismantle law enforcement agencies to ensure that untold millions will be left unprotected or killed, many clinging to life for long stretches of time without help or hope.”

Look for Ben & Jerry’s to honor teenaged climate change alarmist Greta Thunberg with a new product soon. And, in the coming months, they will likely release a series of delightful new frozen delectables dedicated to honoring progressive politicians and members of the Biden administration. The one dedicated to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez could be called “LatinX…tacy,” or some such drivel. Elizabeth Warren’s could be corn-based and named “A-Maize-Me.” Joe Biden’s could be labeled “Chinese Melt & Rocky Road Initiative.”

If the company valued truthfulness and transparency, all of these honorific offerings would be chock full of nuts.
