Red meat is not the problem

 But we already knew that, didn't we?  At this point when some government "expert" proclaims some study or declaration, it's safer to assume the opposite of what is being proclaimed.

Studies have been linking red meat consumption to health problems like heart disease, stroke, and cancer for years, but these invariably suffer from methodological limitations. 

In an unprecedented effort, health scientists at the University of Washington scrutinized decades of research on red meat consumption and its links to various health outcomes, introducing a new way to assess health risks in the process. 

They only found weak evidence that unprocessed red meat consumption is linked to colorectal cancer, breast cancer, type 2 diabetes, and ischemic heart disease, and no link at all between eating red meat and stroke.

One of the healthiest guys I've known was pretty much a carnivore.  And this guy was lean.  All of his bloodwork was good.  Damn near perfect.  And the only veg he would eat was spinach, and that was only because of his wife.

Red meat is not the problem.  In fact, I bet people need to eat more red meat if they can get it.  And the so-called "experts" are shown to be full of shit once again.

HAA HAAA HAAA HAAA HAAAAAAAA!

LEARN TO CODE, YOU FUCKING BASTARDS!

HLN as a news operation is no more.

CNN parent company Warner Bros. Discovery has nixed the entire HLN operation, based at CNN Center in Atlanta. In a memo to staff on Thursday, CNN chief Chris Licht said HLN’s live programming will end this week.

HAA HAAA HAAA HAAA HAAAAAAAAA!

Heads. On. Pikes.

 The CDC withheld data on fatal reactions to the not-a-vax.

Anyone shocked by the report that the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) withheld data about a potentially fatal complication from COVID-19 vaccinations until it was forced under court order to release the data hasn’t been paying attention to the CDC’s multitude of misstatements and lies over the last two years.

As reported by Just the News, data released under court order shows 1 in 3 among the earliest populations to get vaccinated reported needing medical care, missed school or work, or was unable to “perform normal daily activities,” while the CDC continued to fight to keep the data from the public.

Here’s more, via Just the News: 

The US Government was forcing people to get this toxic crap.  The military still has a mandate to get it.  And THEY FUCKING KNEW IT WAS SCREWING PEOPLE UP!

Heads.  On.  Pikes.  I'll also accept drawing and quartering.

We were right once again

 Masks don't work, and this is now a pandemic of the vaccinated.

From the first article: 

Published in the Annals of Internal Medicine (AIM) this week and led by researchers at Canada's McMaster University, the study found no statistically significant difference in protection between the two kinds of masks in healthcare facilities in Canada, Israel, Pakistan and Egypt. 

Funders included the Canadian government and World Health Organization, which unlike the U.S. opposes masking young children and also found "no evidence" face coverings made a difference against influenza in a 2019 study.

Anyone with a basic knowledge of medicine and science understood that wearing a piece of cloth over your face was not going to stop a virus.  Period.  You didn't have to be a doctor, you just had to have passed a high school science class.

Apparently, most of the people in the government failed high school science.  Which isn't a shock, really.  

Oh, who am I kidding?  It was a blatant power grab by fascist fuckwits, lead by the mini-Mengele, Anthony Fauci.  I guess he got tired of letting sand flies eat the faces off of beagle puppies and he wanted to expand his repertoire.  

And from the second article:  

Of the total 6,512 deaths recorded in August 2022, 58.6 percent of the deaths were attributed to vaccinated or boosted people, and seem to be a sign of a growing trend where vaccinated individuals are increasingly becoming the majority in COVID-19 mortalities.

In January 2022, COVID-19 mortalities in the vaccinated was still the minority with 41 percent of the data related to vaccinated or boosted individuals.

However, analysis of the CDC data from June and July showed over 50 percent of deaths were being reported in vaccinated individuals, with 62 and 61 percent reported respectively.

There has never been a single successful coronavirus vaccine, for a whole host of reasons.  This one was destined to fail as well, but this time the damage to the jabbed individuals is going to be worse than the disease they failed to be protected from.  

I can remove my tin-foil hat, but can the jabbed remove their spike proteins?  Nope.

Gosh, it's almost as if outsourcing our pharmaceutical production to China was a bad idea!

Another result of the establishment's love affair with the Chinese Communist Party.

An early surge in cold and flu cases has created shortages in key antiviral and antibiotic drugs needed for the annual “sick season,” pharmacists report.

The antiviral flu drug Tamiflu is in short supply for both adults and children, in both its brand name formulation as well as the generic version, said Michael Ganio, senior director of pharmacy practice and quality with the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists.

In addition, shortages are occurring in the pediatric versions of amoxicillin and Augmentin, two antibiotics used to treat bacterial infections that often follow flu, RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) or COVID in children, said Brigid Groves, senior director of practice and professional affairs with the American Pharmacists Association.

B-b-b-but DAAAAVE!  It's just a seasonal surge!  Oh really?  Tell me, what percentage of antibiotics are made here in the USA?  Anybody want to guess?  Go ahead, I'll wait.

Back, are ya?  Here, I'll give you the answer.  3%

In the discussion, Gary Cohn, then chief economic advisor to President Trump, argued against a trade war with China by invoking a Department of Commerce study that found that 97 percent of all antibiotics in the United States came from China. “If you’re the Chinese and you want to really just destroy us, just stop sending us antibiotics,” he said.

Biden the Drooling Chinese Hand Puppt isn't going to assist in building any manufacturing capability here in the US, given that he and his family are completely owned by the CCP.  We all know that.

Look...  crap like this is why Trump won.  And yes, he won the 2020 election and was defrauded out by the Democrat fraud machine.  It's happening right now in Arizona.  Do you really think that all those "coincidences" just happened when Commie Barbie Katie Hobbs, the Secretary of State in charge of overseeing elections, was running for governor?  Please.  That's the kind of magical thinking that allows countries to die.

OK, pulling myself out of that rabbit hole.  The problem is that until this crop of geriatric corrupt shitstains dies off (cough*McConnell*cough) there won't be any real change.  You think McConnell isn't owned by China?  He's just as much a slave to the CCP as Biden is.  Hell, McConnell's wife is Chinese and he made a metric shit-ton of money because of her family connections back in China.  McConnell is another whore who will bend over and let Chairman Xi fuck up up the ass with no lube.  

All of this to say that we can all see the problem, but the so-called "leadership" of this country refuses to do anything about it.  This cannot end well.

Virtue-signaling hypocritical shitheads

 Apple is helping the Chinese government crack down on protesters.

Apple has repeatedly helped China control dissent, mostly by removing apps that protestors have used to coordinate, communicate, or gather information. (Quartz’s iOS app was removed by Apple, at China’s request, at the height of the 2019 protests in Hong Kong.) By hobbling the functionality of AirDrop in China, Apple is once again coming to the government’s aid.

It's becoming harder and harder to find a company or corporation that won't drop to it's knees and suck Chairman Xi's cock.  The loudest voices who complain about the USA suddenly go silent when China commits atrocities.  

This is the first time that Apple has shown that it doesn't give one damn about it's supposed principles.  Remember when they shat all over North Carolina because NC didn't want men in the girls bathrooms?  Yeah.  Apple made a huge stink about that back then, while at the same time building Apple stores in countries who still execute homosexuals.

But I guess morals are malleable when there's money to be made.  Or when you've outsourced your production facilities into a country that uses slave labor to build your outrageously expensive product.

When I was searching for a new phone, I actually looked for phones built somewhere other than China.  Naturally, that meant I wasn't going to buy an Apple phone.  I ended up with a Kyocera.  Fuck Apple, and fuck that hypocritical bag of shit Tim Cook.

I just spent an hour and a half shoveling snow

 I got my exercise in.  Holy crap.  The interstate is going to be a nightmare.  Have I mentioned that I can't wait to retire so I can tell this commute to fuck off?

Small businesses are getting hammered

 Just remember, this was all part of the plan.  All of this is being done on purpose.

More than 40% of U.S. small business owners say they couldn’t pay rent on time or in full for the month of November, the highest this year.

The small business network group Alignable released the survey, which found that the hardship varies by industry. A notable 57% of beauty salons said they couldn’t make rent as well as 45% of gyms, 44% of retail and 44% of restaurants.

Now, there's a lot of turn-over with small businesses.  There always has been.  Just because you open a store that specializes in crochet doesn't mean that there's enough crocheters out there to keep you in business.  Likewise, about 50% of new restaurants fold in three years.  People who love food think that they can open up a place and customers will just come flooding in.  Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't, but if you don't have a good business model backing up your decisions it doesn't matter how good the food is.

But with all that being said, what Joe Biden's puppet masters are doing to this country is destroying businesses left and right.

“Last month, rent delinquency rates increased seven percentage points from 30% in September to 37% in October,” Alignable said. “And now, in November, that rate is another four percentage points higher, reaching a new high across a variety of industries.”

Business owners cite a range of reasons for the difficulty making rent, including higher rent costs and lower revenue. But 60% cite inflation.

Personally, I have no clue how restaurants are making it these days.  The cost of food keeps going up, the cost of labor keeps going up, rent keeps going up, and people bitch if you raise the price of the finished product because they're getting squeezed just like the business is.

Makes me reconsider opening up a deli when I retire.

Smoker's talley

 Eleven pounds of andouille, eleven pounds of chicken, and almost four quarts of bone broth.  We vacuum sealed the meat, canned up the broth, and now we've got a goodly supply of things for all the winter cookery that we like to do.  There's nothing like a good smoked sausage or smoked chicken in your soups and stews when the winter is cold.  Hell, I love to mix the smoked chicken in with my mac and cheese.  Brings back memories of BBQ joints down south.

Got all the laundry done.  Did some cleaning.

Not bad for a lazy weekend.  

And let's go back to The Last Closet.

 

The Last Closet being a book I've mentioned many times, especially this quote:

What sets gay culture apart from straight culture is the belief that early sex is good and beneficial, and the sure knowledge (don’t think for a second that they DON’T know) that the only way to produce another homosexual is to provide a boy with sexual experiences BEFORE he can be “ruined” by attraction to a girl.

But we're not allowed to talk about that.  Homophobic, donchaknow.

'Splain this one to me, m''kay?

 So Instapundit has a link up about how Kanye West showed up at Mar a Lago and had lunch with Trump.  And Ye brought with him some dude named Nick Fuentes.  Fuentes, according to everyone online, is a White Nationalist and an anti-semite.

OK.  Now then...

What's a White Nationalist doing in Kanye West's entourage?  Can someone explain that to me?  "Hey, I think this country should only be for white people, and by the way here's my friend who's a black rap artist."  See where I'm having some issues?

Am I the only one seeing a problem here?
