Four Texas Democrats — @RepGonzalez @RepCuellar @RepFletcher and @RepVeasey — urge Biden to rescind his order freezing oil and gas leasing on federal lands, writing "now is not the time to jeopardize American jobs" https://t.co/57NxQr5ys8

Texas, New Mexico, Biden just fucked every Democrat in a state where drilling and fracking is a major employer or contributor to the economy.

You’re gonna see Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Colorado on this list soon too.

“You voted for Biden in November and got fired in March because of his executive order” is causing some serious buyers remorse.

The next few years will suck something fierce but are going to redpill the shit out of people.

From the Daily Mail:

‘It’s like the Hunger Games out there’: Hollywood elite desperate for Covid-19 vaccine offer $10k bribes to doctors in a bid to skip the line and receive jab early

Hollywood powerbrokers are offering doctors $10,000 bribes to skip California’s vaccine lines to get the coronavirus jab early.

One top Beverly-Hills medical practice claimed it has received dozens of offers from individuals – including entertainment stars – desperate to be vaccinated.

The situation is so bad that one senior entertainment executive described it as like the ‘Hunger Games’ as the rich and famous ‘fight for their lives’ to get the jab and bypass California’s sluggish vaccination rollout.

“We’re  all in this together, except we quarantine in mansions and collect royalties while we tell you to stay home, not work, and watch TV (which consequently generates more royalties for us), and when the vaccine comes along we bribes to get to the front of the line.”

It would be such a shame if some famous Hollywood plastic surgeon got vials of concentrated Botox that was mislabeled as COVID-19 vaccine.

It would be a shame…

Over and over again the government has been disastrously wrong when it came to fighting COVID.

Should that surprise any of us?

These are the same people who created childhood obesity and Type II diabetes by eliminating PE “for the children” and publicizing a food pyramid that was created not by nutritionists but by the Big Ag lobby.

This peer reviewed article was published last week:

COVID-19 and Fast Foods Consumption: a Review

This is the abstract in its eentirety:

While all groups are affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, the aged people as well as those with underlying chronic medical conditions are at the greatest risk. The higher adherence to refined carbohydrate diets, sweats, and saturated fats contributes to the prevalence of obesity and type 2 diabetes; these disorders increase the risk for severe COVID-19 morbidity and mortality. Fast food consumption activates the intrinsic immune system and impairs adaptive immunity, leading to chronic inflammation and impaired host defence against viruses. Furthermore, inflammatory responses caused by COVID-19 may have long-term costs in survived individuals, leading to chronic disorders such as dementia and neurodegenerative disease through neuroinflammatory mechanisms that are related to an unhealthy diet. Therefore, now more than ever, wider access to healthy foods should be a main concern and individuals should be aware of healthy eating habits to reduce COVID-19 complications.

We figured out very quickly that there was a strong relationship between obesity and COVID-19 mortality.

We were told that gyms were super-spreader events, except that data from New York, Colorado, and Norway showed they are not.

So what did the experts do?

They shut down the gyms, told us not to go outside for a run or bike ride, banned buying seeds for home vegetable gardens, but made sure fast food restaurants stayed open and fast food workers were protected essential employees.

No wonder so many people got the “quarantine 15” or the “COVID-19 (lbs).”

The experts radically increased the mortality rates for people under 65.

The mass murder of elderly in nursing homes through policy I’ve covered before and is a different topic, albeit similar in that “experts” killed more people than they saved.  Same for the shutting down of schools leading to more teen suicides than teen COVID-19 deaths.

What should have happened is that fast food restaurants should have been shut down.  Everyone should have gotten a stimulous check from the government for a gym membership, there should have been a national weight loss mandate.

We learned that we can’t really control the spread of a highly communicable novel virus with lockdowns.   The 20 million Indians who died of smallpox could attest to that.

What the experts could have done was not do everything to increase our likelihood of dying from the virus.

The problem is gyms don’t have the corporate financial influence of fast food mega corporations and telling people to take personal responsibility doesn’t get politicians much support.

Everything single fucking thing the experts did re the coronavirus response increased the likelihood of death.

At a very minimum, these people should never be listened to again.

If I think about it too much I get the impulse to buy a welder and a DC9.

While at Wally World yesterday, I went ahead and got my flu shot (Yes, I do believe in vaccines. I am from South America and was either get vaccinated against the myriad of crap floating around or enjoying a nice warm death bed).  The missus got me a gaiter and I found out I can deal with it better than the mask, specially since it does not fog my glasses and it is much easier to breathe through while complying with the Mask Theater.

But dear Lord, I do look specially messed up.

It took me a bit to realize the unevenness is because of the beard that does not compress evenly and I really don’t care. It makes me look uglier and nastier which in today’s world might be a plus.

And since I am on the subject, might as well take it head on: Talking to the pharmacist assistant about my immunization record, she pointed out I had not received my shot for measles, mumps and rubella. I chuckled and explained to her that I had been immunized the hard way when I was a kid as it was the way back then:

Mom: “Pedrito caught the mumps, go visit him for a couple of hours.” 

I got mumps and rubella that way and mom never could figure how I got the measles since nobody close to us back then had it.  Rubella was particularly hard with our family as it was very painful for me at the time of infection, but mom also caught it just to find out a little later she was pregnant. My brother Angel was born with a heart defect which today can be addressed in womb if required, but back in the 60s was impossible to correct. He lasted all of three days.

So, if there is a proven vaccine against a malady I may get, I will take the chance if I deem I am at risk. You are free to do what you think is best for you and for your family.

An unkind thought popped as I was hitting the publish button in the last post: “What if the “recommendation” is nothing else than a veiled threat by the Biden Harris Administration?

“If you do not comply with what we “suggest” we will find ways to make you state suffer.”

And believe me, they can get creative and nasty if they want. A top of my head, The Federal government can “restrict” anybody coming from Florida to leave the state unless they prove they are not infected. An order by the FAA that airlines must demand a negative lab result prior boarding planes, trains and buses heading out of the state. The FAA can even demand proof of quarantine that ended the day before the trip.  After all, the FAA is in charge of making sure interstate commerce remains safe from threats, including the possibility of the virus spreading all over the nation, right?

And we are all in this together, we must be united in our fight to destroy this disease! [sarcasm off]
