Earth Would Be Healthier If We Were All Shorter, Some Say

 

Want to save the planet? Then have sex with short people. Or so say some.

While I’m not against mating with the vertically challenged, I’m not buying the premise.

PJ Media recently referenced a New York Times opinion piece by Gross Anatomy author (and confessed short person) Mara Altman in which she argues that “short is better, and it is the future.” Altman wrote, “Short people don’t just save resources, but as resources become scarcer because of the earth’s growing population and global warming, they may also be best suited for long-term survival.” That claim seems short on evidence and substantiation if you ask me.

The PJ Media article also referenced Thomas Samaras, who, it says, has been studying height for 40 years and is apparently known in some (small) circles as the “Godfather of Shrink Think,” a philosophy that believes smaller is better. Samaras calculated that if Americans were just 10 percent shorter on average, we would save 87 million tons of food per year. (And countless gallons of water…while producing much less trash.)      

Moreover, famed primatologist Jane Goodall, while speaking at the World Economic Forum, stated that the Earth would be far better off if 7.5 billion of us weren’t alive. She opined that we wouldn’t be facing the problems climate and population alarmists think we’re facing if only the planet had the population of “500 years ago.” Which was roughly 500 million. Ms. Goodall, who is extremely fond of chimpanzees, obviously does not hold humans in such high regard if she thinks it would be best if 94% of us were not here.

If it would be better if we were all 10% shorter, it stands to reason that it would be better still if we were all 20%-- or 50%-- shorter. But is this true? Better for who? And if the planet would be better off without 94% of us, surely the best-case scenario would be our utter demise and extinction. Turns out, some people think that is the case.

I might take this a bit more seriously if Altman, Samaras, and Goodall (sounds like a law firm) offered to get the ball rolling by, say, lopping off their legs or taking their own lives. But I dare say none of them are that committed.

If shorter is better, we can logically assume lighter and smaller are, too. Right ladies? Forget “tall, dark, and handsome.” Hello, “Short, pasty and weak.”

And what about our pets? Should owners of large dogs like St. Bernards and Great Danes turn them in for Chihuahuas and Toy Poodles? Or, better yet, goldfish?

According to progressives, the vehicles we drive need to get smaller and lighter to meet fleet gas mileage requirements. There is a heightened interest in “tiny homes.” And we are constantly told that the “footprint” we leave create or leave behind must be smaller. It seems the only thing progressives don’t want to shrink is government. Hmm.

Reports indicate the IQs are falling in many nations. Male testosterone levels are plummeting in much of the world. Fertility rates are dropping, as well. There are fewer Christians in America, as a percentage of the population, than ever before.

God’s plea to us to “be fruitful and multiply” aside, would everything really be better…if there were nothing?

 

Rogue Geoengineering Outfit Trying To Cool The Planet

 

A rogue solar geoengineering start-up firm claims to have begun using balloons to launch reflective clouds into the stratosphere for the purpose of changing the weather.

Luke Iseman, cofounder and CEO of Make Sunsets, recently told the MIT Technology Review that he hopes this cloud-seeding effort might help launch a lucrative "cooling" industry. Because, as Make Sunsets' website states, "we need to start cooling the world immediately." And he’d like to make money doing it.

As of now, Make Sunsets efforts have been minor and stunt-like…thank God.

According to theblaze.com, Iseman has even “condoned property destruction” as a way to bring about global cooling, though the method he has personally resolved to use is “geoengineering, specifically by way of ‘albedo enhancement’ or albedo modification (i.e., the reflection of sunlight).” This involves spraying reflective substances such as sulfate aerosols, calcium carbonate particles, aluminum dioxide, or diamonds into the atmosphere 12 to 16 miles above the Earth. Supposedly, this can accomplish what volcanic eruptions have previously achieved in terms of partially blocking sunlight and temporarily cooling global mean temperatures.

It is anything but clear that “we need to start cooling the world immediately.” Making the sun set is a fool’s errand. Do we really want rogue entities throwing stuff up into the Earth’s atmosphere to see how it affects temperature and weather patterns? What could go wrong? What happens if we “succeed” in cooling the Earth…and then suffer a series of massive volcanic eruptions? Massive crop loss for starters? No one can be certain that man-caused climate change is occurring…or is a true threat to our way of life or the planet as a whole. Temperatures and weather patterns have changed far quicker in the distant past, well prior to homo sapiens’ existence let alone rising greenhouse gas emissions from humans’ agricultural exploits and industry. But if we greatly expand on Make Sunsets efforts, we can be sure that the result will be man-caused climate change, though not of what the results will be.

And which countries might benefit by (potential) global cooling? Which might be extremely adversely affected? How does one rogue start-up/company/operator/entity—or even one nation—get to throw stuff up into our collective atmosphere? I mean, every little stupid thing is regulated government nowadays, from how big of a soda container we can purchase to how old we have to be to buy a pack of smokes or a slingshot, etc. We are subject to ridiculous regulations, mandates, permits and fines.

If there is anything on Earth that should be subject to strict regulation and oversight, it would be the use of experimental methods ejaculating various reflective substances and materials into Earth’s atmosphere! Shouldn’t the majority of us have a say in that?

Or can I start a competing firm, Make Sunrises, and leverage its resources to shoot down the balloons Make Sunsets is using to launch reflective clouds into our stratosphere?

 

Woman Silently Praying Taken Into Custody In Australia

 

Last month, six people-- including two police officers-- were shot at a remote property in Australia’s Queensland state. Three suspects were identified by senior police sources as the (alleged) killers. In response to the heinous crime, Queensland police decided to go full Stasi and enhance their powers by urging people to turn in fellow citizens who might not fully believe and support everything their government says, does, and mandates.

 Queensland Deputy Police Commissioner Tracy Linford stated “we’d want to know about it” should there be  “anybody out there that knows of someone that might be showing concerning behavior around conspiracy theories, anti-government, anti-police,” or  “conspiracy theories around COVID-19 vaccination.” She added, “you can either contact the police directly or go through Crime Stoppers.”

Sure, let’s draw a line between serial murderers and those who have the temerity to question the efficacy of COVID-1984 vaccines. If you know of anyone who questions the government, “experts,” or “settled science,” turn them in let those in power know about it right away, won’t you? The same goes for those trafficking in “misinformation” and/or “disinformation.”

Meanwhile, police in the UK arrested a woman for silently praying near an abortion clinic in Birmingham, West Midlands, England. Police asked the woman, who was standing across the street from an abortion clinic, “Are you praying?” She replied, “I might be praying in my head, not out loud.” After which she was subjected to a body search and taken into custody for further questioning. And why shouldn’t she have been arrested? I mean, she might have been praying…in her head. The unmitigated gall! What’s next, praying out loud before dinner?!

The Commonwealth is not healthy. In fact, it’s rotting from the inside out. There’s a chance that the alleged perpetrators of the six murders in Australia were treated better than the woman in England silently praying outside of an abortion clinic.

By-the-way, what are you thinking? Do you have racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic/fat-shaming/ableist thoughts parading through your mind? Perhaps you are even questioning your rulers in some way? Or, worse yet, thinking about Jesus? Who knows what you are thinking?! What a sicko! Someone should alert the proper authorities so you can be arrested and brought to justice! Only in this way can we defend diversity, equity and inclusion. Right?

Think about this: our leaders don’t believe we need abortion control. Or control of our own borders. Or even crime control. But many do now purport to believe the rest of us should be subject to thought control. And gun control. (Both are part and parcel of the same goal: controlling those over which they rule.)

I think this is an obvious precursor to tyranny-- and I pray for deliverance.

Oh-oh, the police are at my door. I wonder what they want?

 

 

 

Boston To Host Largest Satanic Gathering In History

 

The Satanic Temple is promoting an upcoming convention as “the largest Satanic gathering in history.” Well, that’s certainly something to brag about.  

The event, called Satancon, will be taking place in Boston from April 28 – 30th, 2023, and will be in celebration of the Temple’s 10^th anniversary. I’m sure it will be a festive extravaganza.

Tickets are already on sale, but the organization has not yet announced the location, vendors, or presenters. Ticket prices reportedly start at $95.00 and go up to $160. Those who purchase the “Demon Circle” $160 tickets will receive special perks such as access to the “Satanic Marketplace,” an official TST SatanCon 2023 t-shirt, TST SatanCon 2023 stickers, and a SatanCon 2023 button. Count me in!

Last year’s conference included such noteworthy presentations as “Devil’s Food” with The Satanic Chef Adam Dodge, Abortion as a (Religious) Right with Mari Davis, and Raising Children in a Satanic Household with Melissa Morley. (In case you haven’t aborted them.) What a blast!

Boston was once frequently referred to as the “Cradle of Liberty,” and sports such famous venues as Faneuil Hall, where American patriots often met to determine how the colonists should deal with the British crown which so often abused them.

If Satancon goes off without a hitch, “Beantown” will have yet another way to sell itself to tourists: ”Boston: Proud home of the largest ever Satanic gathering.” Who wouldn’t be enticed to visit, if not move there?   

You know what they say: “Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.”

In this case, we’re talking about actual “devil’s advocates.”

One thing we can be sure of: if Satanic worship keeps growing, as fewer and fewer Americans identify as Christian or religious, there will be hell to pay.

 

$1.7 Trillion Omnibus Spending Bill Flown To St. Croix In The Virgin Islands

 

Multiple news outlets reported that, after the House passed the $1.7 trillion omnibus bill last Friday, the bill was flown to St. Croix for Biden’s signature. Flown. Over 1,000 miles. On a jet aircraft. To St. Croix in the Virgin Islands, where President Biden is ringing in the new year at the home of a wealthy donor. The bill had to be signed by December 30^th, and Biden wasn’t about to leave the Virgin Islands, so the White House had to fly it down to him on the taxpayer’s dime. 

Ironically, the bill, humorously called the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), also professes to address “climate change,” so sending it on a special flight to the Caribbean is the heighth of hypocrisy. It is akin to signing a bill intended to curb promiscuity while partaking of a massive orgy or signing a temperance bill while doing shots at a nightclub.

But hypocrisy is a hallmark of Democrats.

Sincerity is not.

 

Pandemic Policies Cost Students An Average Of $70,000, Stanford Economist Says

 

According to a new study by a Stanford economist, students who were in school during the pandemic could see a lifetime earnings loss of $70,000. Professor Eric Hanushek’s assertion is based on analysis of the sharp declines in the scores of eighth-graders on national math tests taken between 2019 and 2022.

Hanushek surmises that, if the learning losses aren’t somehow recovered, the majority of K-12 students will grow into less educated, lower-skilled and less productive adults-- and will therefore earn 5.6% less over the course of their lives than students educated prior to the pandemic. Hanushek believes the losses could total up to $28 trillion over the course of this century.

Scores on the 2022 National Assessment of Educational “Progress,” a.k.a. the Nation’s Report Card, were down across the board. Eighth grade math test scores fell an average of eight points from 2019, prior to the pandemic’s onset, to 2022. That is the largest and most precipitous drop ever recorded in the 32-year history of the exam…and is equivalent to missing most of a school year, according to Dr. Hanushek.

Students’ scores in several states were down 12 points, whereas those in Idaho, Alabama, Alaska, and Utah—somewhat “redder” states—experienced significantly smaller declines.

This government-imposed decimation of young people’s earnings potential was arbitrary, needless, and sinister. Rather than “forgiving” student loans, often for the well-to-do, the Biden administration should consider paying reparations to all those adversely affected by the government’s actions. Except that it would be doing so with taxpayers’ money. Unlike student loans, purportedly an effort to help young scholars, these damages were deliberately and directly caused by government. From deeming many jobs “unessential” to shuttering countless businesses to essentially forcing kids out of school and into “Zoom” classes and “remote” education, government’s actions and mandates damaged and diminished the lives—and earning ability—of millions of individuals.

If anything calls for reparations, it is this.

For much of our history, Americans were skeptical and distrustful of government. This was the reason for our founding…and why our founding fathers bequeathed us a limited government with each of the three branches restrained by “checks and balances.” Bizarrely, according to most surveys, today most Americans are still skeptical and distrustful of those in government, yet seem to want an ever bigger government to address every aspect of their lives.

This apparent anomaly is a sign of a broken educational system and an utterly corrupt corporate media. The damage they have done to us all is literally incalculable.

We should all be owed reparations from them.

 

 

Putin Critic Falls Out Window, Dies

 

Sausage multi-millionaire Pavel Antov, Russia’s “highest-earning elected politician,” was recently in India celebrating his 66th birthday when he reportedly fell to his death from a hotel window. (I hate that when that happens.)

In totally unrelated news, Antov had recently criticized Putin’s actions in Ukraine, characterizing air strikes on Kyiv as “terror.” Oddly, Antov perished shortly thereafter and just two days after a close friend of his unexpectedly died “from a heart attack.”

Antov had highlighted a Russian missile strike, saying: “A girl has been pulled out from under the rubble, the girl's father appears to have died. The mother is trying to be pulled out with a crane - she is trapped under a slab. To tell the truth, it is extremely difficult to call this anything other than terror.”

This led Antov to come under intense pressure…after which he withdrew the comment and issued a sniveling apology, claiming his social media post had been “an unfortunate misunderstanding” and a “technical error.”

Alexei Idamkin, the Russian Consul General in Kolkata, told TASS that Antov “fell” out of a hotel window in Rayagada, Odisha state.

This means Antov joins the expansive ranks of Russian doctors who, in recent years, have also inexplicably met their tragic demise falling out of hospital windows.

Perhaps the Biden administration should start using the same tactic to deal with its perceived enemies? It’s obvious that the Clintons would embrace such measures. And the American mainstream media would love to report that Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Lauren Boebert, et. al., “fell out a window” to their deaths.

However, if there were many rational people left on this orb, such preposterous “explanations” for the deaths of our rulers’ political opponents would not go unchallenged.

Vlad should’ve claimed that Antov died as a result of something less preposterous than falling out of a hotel window in the winter. Maybe he should have said Antov was hit by a meteor. Or, better yet, a stray Ukrainian missile. Or that he died of climate change.

But, unfortunately, in today’s world, sanity is out the window.

Just like Antov.

 

 

 

 

January 6: "Insurrection" Or Set-Up?

 

The January 6 select committee finally released its report on December 23, after most Americans had turned their attention to celebrating Christmas with family and friends-- a sure sign that it contained nothing extremely damaging to Donald Trump or his supporters.

We know that Trump had offered to send 20,000 National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., prior to January 6 to prevent anything untoward from happening, Speaker Nancy Pelosi turned him down. We know that the government was aware that the possibility of violence existed. The FBI used the threat tag “CERTUNREST2021 to categorize in advance information pertaining to Jan. 6. Speaking of the FBI, we know that there were numerous FBI agents planted in the crowd at the Capitol Building. After protesters entered the Capitol Building, some at the behest of Capitol Police, Pelosi chose to play the part of a victimized public servant, though it may be more likely she helped orchestrate the entire debacle. (Oddly enough, her filmmaker daughter just happened to be at the Capitol for the soon-to-be infamous event. How convenient. What are the odds?)

By contrast, a report by Republican House members, also released last week, noted that Pelosi’s staff spent weeks preparing for the electoral certification vote scheduled for the afternoon of January 6^th. Republicans were deliberately left out of discussions related to security. Pelosi’s staff reportedly engaged in lengthy and deep discussions and planning efforts well prior to Jan. 6, all without the involvement of Republicans. The public still has no real idea what they discussed or planned.

More and more it appears that “January 6” was a carefully choreographed operation to prevent Trump from ever holding office again-- and to permanently discredit and criminalize the “Make America Great Again” movement and all its supporters. And that the January 6 select committee was not a truth-seeking body, but a vehicle for a cover-up.

It seems very likely that Democrats and the Biden administration set up Jan. 6...and then used the Jan. 6 Committee to hide that fact while directing outrage at Trump supporters.

There is a reason why I often say Democrats are brilliant at being evil.

 

 

 

The Third Annual Hoax-Of-The-Year Awards

 

I bring you this year’s group of highly anticipated and remarkably exquisite hoaxes a bit later than in the past, as I didn’t want to jump the gun (sorry, didn’t mean to trigger anyone) miss out on any developing late-year hoaxes. Once again, there is a rich and crowded field of hoaxes from which to pick. In fact, a perhaps unprecedented number of them. It’s as if, as time seems to go by faster every year, the hoaxes seem to proliferate. So, as the late, great Chris Cuomo would say, “Let’s get after it!”

As usual, there are a number of continuing hoaxes that deserve mention, such as the Any Number of Illegal Immigrants Make the Country Better and Richer Hoax, the Overpopulation Will Kill Us All Hoax and the Climate Change Will Kill Us All Hoax.

Additionally, quite a few hoaxes have taken a hit in 2022, and some may never recover, as even the more thoroughly indoctrinated and gullible Americans seem to be becoming somewhat skeptical of them. These include the Disney Loves Your Kids Hoax, the Mitch McConnell Is A Vertebrate Hoax, the Wuhan Lab Wasn’t the Source of the Coronavirus Hoax, the closely related Dr. Fauci is A Rock Star Hoax, the also closely related the COVID Vaccines Are A Godsend Hoax, the Healthcare Industry Has Only Our Best Interests At Heart Hoax, the Joe Biden Is A Decent Man And A Moderate Hoax, the Most of Those Working in the FBI And DOJ Are Good People Hoax, and the Teachers Are All Selfless, Underpaid Angels Who Love Our Kids Hoax. (Actually, the “love our kids” part might be true, but definitely not in the way a sane person would want.) Another hoax, the CNN Is a Legitimate Cable News Network Hoax, imploded in spectacular—and highly entertaining-- fashion over nearly the entire course of 2022.

Conversely, one hoax that really gained traction this year, at least among academics, is the Competence, Punctuality and Discipline Are All Aspects of White Supremacy Hoax. Speaking of growing, the Marijuana Is Good for You Hoax is also alive and well. And, incredibly, the Men Can Get Pregnant Too Hoax also appears to be gaining steam.

Then there was President Biden’s Gas Was Over $5 A Gallon “When I Took Office” Hoax. Okay, that was really just a lie, but what is a lie but the seed of a hoax, you semi-fascists?

The Elon Musk Purchasing Twitter Will Turn It Into A Sewer of Disinformation and Hate Hoax still has traction amongst leftist pundits and mainstream media “journalists.” (Sorry, elite snobs and low-life Antifa-types, that is what Twitter was before Musk bought it.) The No One Knows What Happened That Night at the Pelosi Mansion Coverup Hoax is still fresh in our minds and believed by many.

Both the Trump Took Nuclear Codes To Mar-a-Lago Hoax and the Trump Took Top-Secret Materials To Mar-a-Lago In Order To Sell Them for A Profit Hoax were highly touted by the media prior to the mid-term elections, but, oddly, were debunked by the same outlets shortly after the mid-term election results were known.

One of the prevailing—and most preposterous-- hoaxes of 2022 was the If the Red Wave Occurs, It Is the End of Our Democracy Hoax. Another—quite diabolical-- was the “Great Reset” Is A Hoax Hoax. Only the most inattentive, naïve, and ignorant could have bought into that one, since various heads of state and the founder of the World Economic Forum (WEF) are all on record espousing the “Great Reset’s” necessity. (The Trudeau government’s response to the Canadian trucker’s Freedom Convoy and the Dutch government’s brazen threats to farmers should also serve as clues.)

So, before I announce the 2022 Hoax-of-the-Year Award, let me proudly introduce a new award, the Lifetime Hoax Achievement Award. Without further ado, the first ever Lifetime Hoax Achievement Award goes to……the We’re from the Government and We’re Here to Help Hoax.

That out of the way, selecting the 2022 Hoax-of-the-Year Award winner was, frankly, extremely difficult-- especially as various entities and lobbyists tried their best to influence my decision. Therefore, I am instituting Third Place and Runner-Up awards this year, in addition to the Grand Prize winner.

Third Place: a tie between the Dr. Fauci Is a Rock Star Hoax and the Joe Biden Is A Decent Man and A Moderate Hoax. Fauci is a monster who subsidized gain-of-function viral research that spiraled out of control…or worse…and then steadfastly lied about, well, everything. Biden is a young-girl-sniffing thug who enjoys verbally assaulting those who dare to disagree with him. And probably a racist. (You ain’t black if you don’t vote for me.)

Second Place (Runner-Up): the If the Red Wave Happens, It’s the End of Our Democracy Hoax. This is the exact opposite of reality. How can one political party—in a “democracy”—claim that anyone voting for a candidate from another political party is trying to destroy democracy?

We have arrived at the big moment, the bestowing of the Hoax-of-the-Year Award for 2022.

And the winner is…the Great Reset Is a Hoax Hoax. In a twist, the hoax is that it is anything but a hoax. It is all too real. And all too frightening. Unlike the Red Wave That Never Was, implementation of the Great Reset would put an end to “our democracy.” And freedom around the world.

But, oh well. Here’s looking ahead to the Fourth Annual Hoax-of-the-Year awards. Imagine the possibilities.

 

 

 

Universities May Drop Algebra Graduation Requirement Because Students Find Algebra Too Difficult

 

Kansas universities may soon dispense with their algebra graduation requirement because too many students fail the courses.

NPR Kansas recently reported: “About one in three Kansas students fails college algebra the first time around. Some take it several times before they pass. Others get so frustrated that they drop out altogether. And that cuts into university graduation rates.” NPR added that this prompted the Kansas Board of Regents to consider alternative requirements under what’s called a “Math Pathways program.”

 

Regent Wint Winter (!) said the new Pathways program is critical as a way to fight declining enrollment.

He stated: “It’s incumbent on us to be aware of all the roadblocks that are out there for students … reasons why they’re leaving, reasons why they’re not graduating. So I would urge us all to … find ways to find the bandwidth to keep this moving along.”

If graduation rates are now more important than what students are taught, than why not only offer gender and women’s studies courses…and underwater basket-weaving? Is algebra—algebra!— really too hard for today’s young scholars to handle? In my day, many of us took advanced placement calculus…in high school no less…with credits often transferring to the college of our choice. If calculus, geometry, and even algebra are too difficult for those enrolled in bastions of “higher education” today, perhaps the schools can offer Remedial Addition and Subtraction in their Math pathways programs, assuming they can find “the bandwidth.” What do you think about that, Regent Wint Winter? (Not to be confused with Regent Summ Summer.)

Higher education’s emphasis on enrollment over substance and mission is sadly of a piece with Christian churches’ abandonment of traditional doctrine in favor of a policy of “we must do whatever the hell it takes to put more butts in the pews, no matter how spectacularly amoral and secular.” Hence, we have drag queens flouncing around in our churches and teaching Sunday school. Helps attendance, you see.

What comprises current college curriculum? The classics? Right out. Western Civilization/Canon? Hah, racist/sexist/transphobic! Chemistry? Too hard. Rhetoric? Why? Debate? Triggering! Engineering? A field of endeavor by and for white supremacists! English Literature? I mean, hello, “E-lit” fairly reeks of yesterday’s dead white male patriarchy. Business instruction? Only if all classes are as anti-capitalist as they are anti-racist. An examination of post-modern, intersectional, non-binary, polyamorous, BIPOC poetry, as seen through a lesbian lens? Yeah, baby! That’s what I’m talkin’ about! Good to go! That’s why you spend $50,000 a year to send your kids to college! Is it not?

So what if your kid doesn’t know a constant from a variable? Does anyone really care if their children can understand algebraic expressions, as long as they can express their lived gender?!
