FDA Was Right All Along
https://www.npr.org/2022/03/30/1089809588/ivermectin-covid-treatment-brazil-study
For some reason “conservatives” fell in love with the horse worm POISON Ivermectin and spent months denouncing the FDA for not endorsing it for Covid treatment. Ignoring medical science led to hundreds of thousands of doses being consumed by human beings with no benefit and multiple hospitalizations from its effects. Well, this new study confirms what informed medical science has been saying all along – Ivermectin is NOT an effective treatment for Covid-19 at any stage. Maybe the next time Joe Rogan offers medical advice “conservatives” will trust the FDA instead. Or not.
Ivermectin got on the radar because of early anecdotal evidence that it did some good in impoverished African countries. Yes, it did. Here is why. It kills worms. That is what it does. Internal parasites weaken your body. Killing them gives you a better chance to overcome Covid. Internal parasites are common in such countries. In the United States? Not so much.
The Woke Stuff
I guess I’m a romantic, but I thought there was one place where merit still reigned.
But now Biden has promised to put a woman and/or minority on the moon as part of his budget that mentions ‘equity’ over 100 times.
Somewhere there is probably someone who checks the right gender/race boxes who is truly qualified, but we will never know. Whoever goes will either have robbed the most qualified of that place, or someone truly deserving will never be seen as such, always presumed to have been there in the name of equity.
Either way, the experience is ruined.
I hate wokeness more than any of you will ever understand.
Another plausible reason for Putin’s “special military operation”.
Brett Stephens posits any interesting possibility.
“Suppose for a moment that Putin never intended to conquer all of Ukraine: that, from the beginning, his real targets were the energy riches of Ukraine’s east, which contain Europe’s second-largest known reserves of natural gas (after Norway’s).
Combine that with Russia’s previous territorial seizures in Crimea (which has huge offshore energy fields) and the eastern provinces of Luhansk and Donetsk (which contain part of an enormous shale-gas field), as well as Putin’s bid to control most or all of Ukraine’s coastline, and the shape of Putin’s ambitions become clear. He’s less interested in reuniting the Russian-speaking world than he is in securing Russia’s energy dominance.”
So it isn’t about demilitarizing, de-Nazifying, saving ethnic Russians or any of the other reasons given (and defended by some here); it is about the vast resources under the ground of Eastern Ukraine and the ability to ship the reserves to market

I just got back from getting the second Covid booster shot which is now FDA approved for people over 50. Rite-Aid has a website where you can answer the screening questions and schedule your shot. As of this morning they had plenty of doses available but that may change when people become aware that it is now available.
Bizarre Even by Fox News Standards.

Seems that Darwin’s Theory of Evolution and Darwinism in general is a hoax funded by Jews. According to Lara Logan of Fox Nation fame you can look it up. It goes right back to the Rothchild family AND 10 Downing Street. Riiiight.
So, I looked it up. It is nonsense. There is no evidence that the Rothchild family paid Darwin to develop his theory that I could find. I did find, however, that the current Lord Rothchild recently made an investment in a new private equity fund called “Darwin Private Equity” so obviously the Jewish plot continues. But, don’t worry. Jews will not replace us.

My mother gave me a copy of the original Whole Earth Catalog for Christmas when I was 12. I wish I still had it, but it eventually disintegrated in my hands from too much page turning.

Recusal for thee but not for me.
Putin and the Christian Nationalists.
Today’s Pilot ran this editorial by the dean and professor of psychology and religion at Union Theological Seminary. I posted it because it sheds some light on why Putin, and Trump for that matter, have so many apologists and supporters in the US and the West.
