  • The Hijab Protests in Iran–Three months in

     At least 388 people have been killed by the Iranian government and 16,000 have been arrested.  One thousand of those arrested have been given show trials and it looks like at least twenty one are being sentenced to death. The protestors are not stopping.  And they have burned down the ancestral home of the Ayatollah… Continue reading

  • Finding out that useless attacks on art torques people off

    Yep, somebody actually did a study that found out, not surprisingly, that throwing cake at the Mona Lisa or soup at a Van Gogh does not endear people to the anti-oil/environmentalist cause.  Actually, it turns people off more completely and makes them equate this stupidity with their cause (my evaluation). Kind of like those idiots… Continue reading

  • New view on the cause of Alzheimers

     Despite the fact that decades of work on the cause of Alzheimer’s disease has been predicated on amyloid plaque buildup in the brain, it might be that the plaques are part of the body’s immune system and that Alzheimer’s is probably an autoimmune disease. In experiments, amyloid beta was shown to be effective against the… Continue reading

  • Lib media Fail–again

     Axios tweeted that 32 trans people have been killed this year.  The problem?  The report they reference (that definitely has a pro-trans agenda) doesn’t show that any of them were killed solely because they were trans. Also, the murder rate is SERIOUSLY lower than the national average.  As folks on Twitter pointed out. National murder… Continue reading

  • Gotta love a small town

     Had to road trip yesterday for work.  On my way back I decided to stop at a small deli/market in a small town on my route. While I was checking out, one of the guys who worked there came up to ask if I had a jumper box.  I said that I didn’t, but I… Continue reading

  • Just going to put these two things next to each other

    The men’s US soccer team has changed their logo to include the gay rainbow flag. World Cup Warning: Pork, Porn, Sex Toys, and LGBT Flags Could Get Fans Arrested in Qatar The UK is warning fans that Qatar is a Muslim nation with all that implies. It’ll be interesting to see what happens. Continue reading

  • Leading with her heart

     In one of the best moves that I’ve heard in a while, Jeff Bezos’ Courage and Charities Award went to Dolly Parton for 2022.  This award is to the tune of $100 million. Considering her continuing charity work including her Imagination Library and her 100% funding of eligible employees–over 11,000, in fact, I think that the… Continue reading

  • Two steps forward, one step back

     While the Miss United States of America Pageant won a suit allowing them to fend off the predations of the trans-mafia, an overweight trans won a pre-Miss America contest in New Hampshire. Here is a picture of Brian Nguyen with the other contestants: Apparently the judges were using 19th Century standards of beauty from Persia/Iran:… Continue reading
