IT'S DRY JANUARY FOR THIRSTY THURSDAY And if you not familiar with the concept it's when people take off the month of January when it comes to drinking. The Wine Yogi Kristal Alfonso does this every year and so today we're trying mocktails and health food because she's doing the Whole 30 plan for the month as well. Read all about both by clicking here!
BERI WEISS'S SUBSTACK IS THE JOURNALISM YOU'RE LOOKING FOR it's called Common Sense and you can find it here. The story about Hollywood is from the free section, but there is some GREAT work being done by Beri and others under this banner. I subscribed for 50 bucks a year today.
FAUCI IS CAUGHT LYING AGAIN, THIS TIME ABOUT COVID ORIGINS You remember how there was a full court press to deny that covid was created in and leaked from a Chinese lab last year? Remember when Dr. Anthony Fauci, who has recently declared himself "science" referred to the lab leak theory as a "shiny object" without merit? Remember when he tried to ruin the reputations of scientists who tried to say it came from a lab? Well he knew since FEBRUARY of 2020 that the origin was likely a lab but HE MADE THE UNILATERAL DECISION TO PROTECT CHINESE SCIENTISTS INSTEAD OF BEING HONEST. We know this now because of emails between Fauci and other scientists where they discussed the unlikeliness of the virus being naturally occurring, but decided to not only cover that up, but smear real scientists who were saying that, to protect CHINA. Fauci MUST be fired now. MUST. He's patently dishonest and making diplomatic decisions on his own that he is not qualified to make. Rand Paul is already on it.
AND NOW, THE VACCINATION RAP FROM TEXAS People need to begin to address all City Council meetings via rap. Also why white people should not rap.
THIS EXPLAINS WHY HOLLYWOOD IS ONLY MAKING WOKE STUFF RIGHT NOW Because everyone in Hollywood is scared to death to of losing everything if they make a mistake of any kind. This is a GREAT column on the Cloak of Fear hanging over Hollywood right now. I have to say, I'm not sorry they are uncomfortable, they have been help building this new reality for so long I'm happy they are suffering under what they created.
IT TOOK 24 YEARS TO DEREGULATE FRENCH DRESSING This story is the most perfect story to demonstrate the inefficiency and intrusiveness of the federal government. Did you know French dressing was tightly regulated by the Feds? Some day we'll get into the French dressing lobby which obviously was powerful enough to regulate their competitors out of business, but that's for another day. Since 1998 the The Association for Dressings and Sauces (yes, that's a thing that exists that you know now) has been trying since 1998 to be able to "innovate" French dressing by getting the long tentacles of government out of their French dressing recipes and they've FINALLY succeeded.
MORE PEOPLE ARE SPEAKING UP AGAINST THE WAY THE WORLD HAS HANDLED COVID And this one is an Israeli immunologist at the University of Tel Aviv who wrote and open letter to Israeli officials over the way they've handled this pandemic. From the letter:
You refused to admit that the infection comes in waves that fade by themselves, despite years of observations and scientific knowledge. You insisted on attributing every decline of a wave solely to your actions, and so through false propaganda “you overcame the plague.” And again you defeated it, and again and again and again.
You refused to admit that mass testing is ineffective, despite your own contingency plans explicitly stating so (“Pandemic Influenza Health System Preparedness Plan, 2007”, p. 26).
You refused to admit that recovery is more protective than a vaccine, despite previous knowledge and observations showing that non-recovered vaccinated people are more likely to be infected than recovered people. You refused to admit that the vaccinated are contagious despite the observations. Based on this, you hoped to achieve herd immunity by vaccination — and you failed in that as well.
The rest is here, but you get the gist. It is not kind.
HAVEN'T GOTTEN COVID YET? YOU MAY BE AN INVINCIBLE I talked about this YESTERDAY. Chuck and I were just discussing how odd it is that neither of us have gotten covid because we have truly been living our lives for the past two years. Now this article in the Post asks why some people just don't seem to get it. Maybe I'll sign up for this study.
WE'RE NEARING PEAK HOSPITALIZATIONS WITH COVID IN COLORADO BUT DON'T PANIC Because a much smaller percentage of people currently hospitalized who also have covid are IN the hospital BECAUSE of Covid. Many say we are nearing the peak of omicron now, me included just based on what has happened with this around the world.
WHEN WILL OUR MEDIA APOLOGIZE FOR BEING BIDEN ADMIN COVID LAP DOGS? The largest paper in Germany apologized for their scaremongering covid coverage. Now the largest paper in Denmark is apologizing for just spewing whatever line the government put out without question. When will our media do the same? HAHAHAHAHA, JK they never will. They aren't self aware enough.
FIND OUT WHAT THE COLORADO REPUBLICANS WANT TO MAKE HAPPEN THIS LEGISLATIVE SESSION By checking out their Commitment to Colorado here. I LOVE some of these bills even though we know the Democrat stranglehold on the Legislature means they won't get done.
THIS DOC WON'T BE BRANDING ANY MORE ORGANS And by "branding any more organs" I mean using a laser to burn his initials into the organs he was transplanting into patients. The guy who did just that has been stripped of his medical license.
THESE BUSTER KEATON STUNTS ARE BEYOND AMAZING There was no CGI back then, he did them all. Prepare to be amazed.
WE'RE ALL GOING TO GET OMICRON, SO LET'S DITCH THE STUPID RESTRICTIONS And don't take my word for it (even though I've been saying this for weeks now) take the word of the Esteemed Embodiment of Science Dr. Anthony Fauci. He said that we were ALL going to get omicron, ALL OF US. So let's get back to normal life and get this over with, shall we?
TEACHER CAMS MAY BE COMING TO FLORIDA And of course the teachers union wants us to TRUST teachers instead. A bill has been put forth that would put cameras and microphones in every classroom so parents can see what's really going on. I personally think this is a great idea FOR teachers who then have video evidence when kids are being rotten in class.
CHINA LOCKED DOWN ONE COMMUNITY SO FAST A WOMAN GOT STUCK WITH A BLIND DATE FOR DAYS!! As a matter of fact, she may still be there with the guy who has been cooking for her, though he "doesn't speak much'. Read this nightmare here.
NO ONE THINKS JOE BIDEN IS DOING A GOOD JOB Save 33% of Democrats who refuse to admit they gave this loser the highest office in the land. His polling is abysmal which is why Dems are trying to force you to focus on January 6th instead.
AND DON'T LET THE TOTALITARIAN DEMS CLAIM THEY ARE SAVING DEMOCRACY This is a long column but you need to read it. In it, the author makes an extremely compelling case that even as the Democrats are crowing about saving democracy they are actively working everywhere to subvert it. Read it here.
OUR VEEP IS INCREASINGLY SHOWING SHE'S A LIGHTWEIGHT She trades in word salads that say nothing. Watch this and please tell me what she said, I have no clue. National Review gives more examples of her nonsensical speech here.
LOTS OF INCREDIBLE PEOPLE DIED LAST YEAR And this is a great column reminiscing about so many of them. It's a huge, impressive and sad list.
A FULL REPORT FROM A WONDERFUL LIFE This story about a lovely event in upstate New York celebrating Frank Capra's classic film It's a Wonderful Life is itself lovely. I always enjoy when people get together to celebrate something good and this is pretty much that.
