It Was Never In YOUR Best Interest

Hello Friends,

Following up on a previous post, here is a quote that circulated around a lot during the Covid years after the "not a vaccine" was rolled out.

"If you have to be persuaded, and reminded,
and pressured, and lied to and incentivized,
and coerced, and bullied, and socially shamed,
and guilt-tripped, and threatened, and punished
and criminalized - if all of this is considered
necessary to gain your compliance - you
can be absolutely certain that what is being
promoted is not in your best interest"

- Ian Watson

Mr. Watson, you absolutely said a mouthful there, and it is the absolute truth. We lived this nightmare for several years, and that was an abomination in the history of our country.

Indeed, it was never in our best interest. The truth is coming out and we all hope to see justice served.

Until next time stay safe and stay sane.

The Power of Good Advertising!

Hello Friends,

Look what is making a splash around the internet and setting liberal teeth on edge. You'll hear more yelling and gnashing of teeth as this circles the globe at light speed.

What a refreshing change from the ads of recent years. You can visit American Eagle to see Ms. Sweeney in her jeans.

Now check out and share this viral sensation.

Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans - Outrage AI Parody Song

You can read about this anywhere and everywhere because everybody and his brother is talking about...even the President.

Here's what he had to say about it: "The tide has seriously turned — Being WOKE is for losers, being Republican is what you want to be. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

Visit Truth Social or your favorite social media for the entire post.

NOW, if we can just convince #American Eagle to bring production back to the U.S.A. We want American-made jeans! Oh, BTW, I heard their stock was up, too!

Until next time, stay safe and stay sane.

Just A Conspiracy Theory, Eh?

Hello Friends,

This here is a see-it-for-yourself moment. Let's go back in time to 2021 and the rollout of the Covid-19 "vaccine" program. You remember the big push to get everyone vaxxed? They bribed people and when that didn't work, they forced people to get the jabs or lose their jobs. 

They declared you were "killing grandma" if you didn't submit to the untested gene therapy.

Now the rest of the world gets to see what was behind that campaign, and it was NOT patient welfare, but money.

Yep, it was all about the money and the narrative. They couldn't let go of it even in the face of "actual science" or the reality that it was neither safe nor effective. 

They lied and people died because of it.

Many of us knew all of that way back then, but were called crazy conspiracy theorists because, you know, the science was settled and the experts knew better. If you tried to speak up or speak out against the vax, you were censored for misinformation.

As you can see from the COVID-19 Vaccine Provider Incentive Program, providers got money for every person vaxxed. You read that right. According to this document from Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Medicaid, depending on the percentage of members vaccinated, the provider could receive up to $250 per vaccinated member. Yeah, it was never about the patient. Now you know!

The takeaway is always question the "experts", do your own research and think for yourselves.

Until next time, stay safe and stay sane.

When It Rains

Hello Friends,

Have you had any rain lately? We finally got a good rain this afternoon (August 1), along with lots of thunder and lightning. It seems my dinner plans may have changed to cooking the burgers indoors instead of grilling. We'll see.

Anyway, back to the topic at hand, RAIN. Thus far, we have had 1.24" of rain in this storm. Nope, I did not go out to check the rain gauge. I used the raindrop.farm site. 

All you have to do is plug in your zip code and click in your location to see their approximation of how much rain you have had in the past 24 hours.

This is especially handy if you want to check rainfall at another location such as a vacation home, farm or perhaps your place of business should it be in a flash flood area.

Wherever you are, I hope you got rain if you need it, and not if you don't. 

One line garden update: I picked the first pod of okra today!

Update: I just checked back to see how much more rain we got, and it had dropped to 1.07". This is what they say about how it works.

"How do you know how much it rained?
We calculate rainfall by processing data from high-resolution radars, ground sensors, and satellite data. It aggregates inputs from 180 Doppler radars and more than 10,000 rain gauges, using scientific models to derive rainfall estimates. We then deliver rainfall amounts that are hyper-localized, ensuring you receive data tailored precisely to your chosen locations.

Final update: According to our rain gauge we actually got 2.1". It was more accurate the last time we had any measurable rain.

Until next time, stay safe and stay sane (and dry).

A Truck From The Past

Hello Friends,

Car Lovers Rejoice! After 50 Miserable Years, CAFE Standards Are Dead

This could be good news for car and truck buyers and the auto industry as well. Let's bring these back, shall we?

CAFE stands for corporate average fuel economy, and here is an excerpt from the article linked above.

"From the beginning, these standards were a disaster, forcing automakers to radically downsize their fleet, which research showed cost thousands of lives because, all things being equal, smaller, lighter cars are less safe than larger ones.

In fact, a 2002 National Academy of Sciences found that these fuel economy standards not only boosted the cost of cars, but may have caused as many as 2,600 more traffic fatalities just in 1993."

You know, safety first, except when it's not.

This whole thing began in order to force car manufacturers to increase fuel economy across the board. They had to meet a corporate standard or face stiff penalties.

That meant smaller cars and larger pickups. Why pickups you ask? Well as I understand it, pickups are generally less fuel efficient anyway, so to meet these new standards they had to provide the required gas mileage per cubic foot of vehicle. Thus, the super-large pickups were able to state the required gas mileage.

Have you seen the size of modern trucks? You practically need a ladder to get in or out, and the bed is as high as my head. I hope that with the demise of the CAFE standards, we can return to reasonably sized trucks.

A shout out to The Abode of McThag for sharing this article.

Until next time, stay safe and stay sane.
