  • Geese and Ganders–let's see how this shakes out

    GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) is following in the footsteps of the NRA (National Rifle Association), ironically enough.   The NRA and Wayne LaPierre got whacked for the misuse of funds. In the first stage, jurors in February found LaPierre and others liable for years of financial mismanagement, including the bankrolling of an extravagant… Continue reading

  • The FDA is culpable (again)

     The FDA has lied again (wow, what a surprise!).  This time about puberty blockers for children.  The trope about puberty blockers as put out by organizations like WPATH (World Professional Association for Transgender Health) and the FDA is that if children aren’t given ‘gender affirming care’ including puberty blockers, then they are more likely to… Continue reading

  • Today's 'Four Lights' equivalency a.k.a. gaslighting on a global scale

     When torturing someone, my understanding is that one technique is to get the subject of the torture to ‘break’ in some psychological manner–telling something personal about themselves or to agree to a lie. In the book 1984, there was the 4/5 fingers where the bad guys are holding up four fingers and Winston is supposed… Continue reading

     The Olympics committee decided that two men (DNA test = XY) who had been kicked out of women’s boxing competitions by the International Boxing Association would be able to fight in the Olympics.   A female boxer from Mexico who went up against one of these men before he was kicked out said: ‘Thank God that… Continue reading

  • There are colleges that are still mandating covid shots

     Despite all of the evidence that they cause harm.  Despite all of the evidence that they are useless (except for causing harm) since they don’t keep anyone from getting or spreading covid. Twenty colleges are still mandating the shots for attendance.  I am assuming the same for faculty and stuff to keep their jobs.  It’s… Continue reading

  • Scientific American–does anyone believe what they write anymore?

     Scientific American lost its science cred a while back, but damn, they’ve truly jumped the shark in their propagandizing for Kamala.  Get this: As the daughter of a cancer researcher, Kamala Harris would bring a lifelong familiarity with science to the presidency, experts say One wonders who the experts are. The comments regarding this article… Continue reading
