Despite more big store closures, San Fran shows signs of life when declining charges for security guard who killed shoplifting black trans man; RFK Jr. shaking the narrative; new combo jabs; and more.
I have noticed that many people still where masks visibly unhealthy. They may think the mask will keep them alive (smirk) but they don’t seem capable of doing anything that might a positive impact on their lives. Wearing a mask is lazy. It’s not just virtue signaling, it’s a false flag saying: look I am taking care of myself even though I weigh 250 pounds. I know this sounds mean but as someone who struggled with weight most of my life, I understand what it means to take control of my life. Many of us have done it. Reading C&C is proof.
When I eat animal-based keto (mostly ground beef, eggs, avocados), I can fast easily because I feel satiated. And i don't get cravings. Plus i lost weight, no longer suffer from depression, anxiety, panic attacks or road rage. And I'm no longer pre-diabetic.
When I was on the Standard American Diet (SAD) I was ALWAYS hungry. Always tired. I had joint pain and I was mentally and emotionally messed up.
Wanna be healthy? Do the opposite of what the "experts" tell us. Eat REAL food, get sun, prioritize sleep.
I’ve had to start battling high cholesterol and triglycerides recently. I refuse to go on pHarma. Luckily my doc took no for an answer and said she liked I wanted to work on diet and exercise instead. I’m taking the control. I didn’t think I ate super bad but it does run my family. After some minor tweaks for six months it went down a little but not nearly enough. So I’m hitting it hard and fast! 💪🏻
So I’ve been drinking ground matcha tea powder tea in the mornings, with honey and liquid turmeric. I added in green spinach smoothies with chia seeds and walnuts with a few pieces of natural fruit to sweeten it up a little for lunch. Then a sensible dinner. I cut out a lot of red meat even though I still eat some. I don’t believe red meat is all bad. But I was eating A LOT and a lot of sausage because it was cheaper for a while. I eat real Alaska wild caught fish occasionally. I eat chicken. I also add flax seed to my salads. And the dressing is now olive oil w/vinegar and some spices. I eat a lot of avocados and some eggs. I use avocado oil to cook. So I’m just modifying and changing some stuff to make it a lifestyle change and not just a fad. Heathy fats. Good protein. Lower carbs. Cut out junk with an occasional treat of some sort.
I don’t do intermittent fasting well. I think it’s more mental though. Here’s to hoping for some much lower cholesterol numbers in 6 months. 💃🏻
Oh. And I planted some veggies and a lemon tree in my back yard. 🙌 🙌
Taking back control feels great. My friend recently told me:
We’ve been conditioned to think all food HAS to taste good or we don’t want to eat it. Some very healthy foods just flat out don’t taste good but it’s okay to still eat them. That was my aha moment I think. She’s right.
The best thing to learn is that healthy fats do not contribute to high cholesterol. Even if they do in some people they are not a danger. We've been fed a ton of bull for decades. Sugar is truly the enemy along with processed wheat and horrible seed oils. Sugar directly affects triglycerides and most people see good results in lowering that number when they cut it out of their diet.
I went low carb many years ago and lost 100lbs and my health improved immensely including my depression. Food is medicine and we all can use it to make our lives healthier and happier. Unlike pharmaceutical drugs which just make us sicker.
There's a lot of good reading about the cholesterol debates as well. Generally speaking - it's usually not as bad as the pharma companies want to make out. There are also differentiators between the big/small particle LDL and that's often not tested for. In any case, going on statins is usually a really bad idea.
I agree. I did a deep dive into it all when my numbers came back six months ago. I told my husband I refuse to go on statins or any pHarma for this. I found a cardiologist in Min septa who had her aha moment 15 years or so ago and she realized all the patients in her waiting room were on meds for their heart and looked as sick as ever. Now she does healthy eating and exercise instead of massive prescriptions. Seeing great results too!
My total cholesterol has virtually always been high. I dropped sugar, grains and starches and got down to my ideal weight of 130 and I STILL had high cholesterol. One reason it was high is that I always have very high HDL, which is the good type, and that bumps up the number. When I found out about the LDL particle type cholesterol test, I demanded that one and learned I had the "good" fluffy type LDL particles. So I don't worry about it any more, and lucky for me, my doctor agreed!
Sounds like you’re doing good! I think cholesterol is a hereditary factor. I usually stay between 120 and 125 and mine was a little high last time. But my doctor tells me that my good definitely outweighs the bad. I’ve been drinking hot lemon water with a tablespoon of flaxseed meal everyday. That should help!
Tracy, Peter Schott, and Sunnydaze, this book will help you feel good about your choiced. It's a real eye opener. The Clot Thickens, by Dr Malcolm Kendrick
Read the Keto Code by Steven Gundry, great book. It's a healthier Keto! Makes a lot of sense! Listings of foods to eat and not to eat are included in the book. It is about Mitochondria and how you can make them work better with foods!
We watched a free movie on YouTube called "Fat, a documentary " -done by Vinnie Tortorich. He has two other documentaries as well- they're eye opening and have changed the way my husband and myself approach our food. The no sugar so grain lifestyle makes you feel GREAT! I HIGHLY recommend looking into him. He also has a podcast called "Fitness Confidential". Keep learning- what we've been told about health is allllll lies! Best of luck to you! 😊
You're at a deficit of calories. But the important aspect is the time (the duration) between eating periods. Once there's no food in your stomach, the body goes into ketosis and gets energy from your fat. The minute you nibble a couple of almonds, you mess that whole process up. So absolutely no calories during the fast period, so to not interrupt the fat burning.
Has nothing, or at least very little, to do with calories.
It is more about the KIND of calories than the AMOUNT.
Good Calories, Bad Calories by an author whose name I can't remember is a good read about this idea that the type of calories (carbs, fats, kind of fats, protein) matters waaayyyy more than the amount.
Fat Head Kids by Tim/Tom Naughton (can never remember) tells the story of a guy who ate 3,000 calories a day for a month (or something to that effect). Eating all real food, healthy fats and few carbs, he lost inches. Eating the standard American diet, he gained a ton of weight and felt awful.
Totally agree. I am on a whole, healthy natural food diet my entire life, but still need to watch the overall calories or the weight goes up. I do not count vegetable calories though. That was something I learned at WW back in the 80s.
At 65, I have managed to stay the same weight I was at 25. For a woman, that is a huge feat!
Tom Naughton started w/ "Fat Head" in response to "Super Size Me". It's a cheesy documentary, but he ate fast food for a whole month, kept a food log, and lost weight. He skipped the extra carbs, ate salads, bunless burgers (or very little breading), skipped fries and deep-fried foods, and drank water or sugar-free drinks. His doctor was stunned.
That experience led him to do more research on the "why did it work this way" and produce the Fat Head and Fat Head Kids line. He's now just happily living his life w/ his family somewhere in TN, having escaped CA during this period. :)
We love the Fat Head Kids book. Gave us a vocabulary to use w our young person when talking about food and why we eat what we do. Thanks for the details.
The author is Gary Taubes. It's a great and informative book, and he also has a newer one too. I've read both, and they're both good. He shows how the American public has been misled by the so-called nutrition community for decades. Hmm....are we surprised that certain medical "experts" have lied to us?
Thanks for helping with the author. I get him and Gary Fetke, the Australian orthopedic surgeon who nearly lost his license for telling patients to eat the Gary Taubes way.
It was knowing about the dietary misinformation and statin fraud that made us wary about the latest Safe and Effective. Thank God!
There's this guy at my local Publix that is double masked....it's like he's still living in March 2020 something. I happened to see him yesterday and peeking across the top of his nose, over his nostrils you could see like what seemed like an alcohol pad swab, couldn't tell but it definitely wasn't a third mask. I mean the guy might have fear of germs, but come on now, no one that works there wears a mask.
Yep in a blue state still plenty of them around. Especially black people where i work. All but 1 out of the 5-6 on my shift still wear a mask all day... smh.
The person that has chosen to continue with masking as a breath issue is the clearest illustration of mental illness of irreversible fear hypnosis. More proof of the dumbing of Americans as brain dead. I said it. I'll say it again as well. Brain Dead. (As in incapable)
It's exhausting to cater to dim wits as we are being drowned in irrational dysfunctions.
I've been sad to realize there are a lot of very very very not so smart Americans out there. Has it always been that way and I just didn't realize it???
LMAO. You might be racist if you think anyone with pink, purple, green etc hair is a trans. I run when I see them. I personally think they might be the biggest homeland terrorists threat in the good old USA so I stay the heck away from them.
Is that a shop vac filter she's WEARING?! METAL screw clamp add all!!??!! M A Y B E she's wrong 🤣🤣🤣 Maybe she's RIGHT. If she believes it would be sin to remove it then she should definitely keep wearing it. 😵💫
LOL. I was wondering the same thing although my interpretation was a plastic storage container with buttons sewn on. She thoughtfully added a bit of cloth binding around the edges of the container to avoid the nasty edges. Ah, I know. It was the container that the peach-colored hair color came in. Waste not, want not!
Yeah she got roasted on twitter, then frantically blocked everyone...
I have a co-worker who has a deluxe N-95 type mask strapped to her face every second of the day. Given what we know combined with the recent German studies it does not look good.
Had someone ask in a forum related to an upcoming con if there would be a "masks-required room". Can't point out any actual facts on that site without getting banned so just letting it go. One person did note "the WHO said this is over" and of course someone responded "well, that doesn't mean that the _threat_ is over". Ugh. One site mod responded that there would be a room set aside for people who insist on masks - hopefully ever-shrinking rooms as time goes on and more people realize they're done.
Here's hoping people like the one pictured in the update do start realizing they're just wrong about masks. :/
Effective Apr. 24, masking is strongly recommended but no longer required in all JHM buildings. Care partners and visitors: Please do not visit if you have fever, upper respiratory symptoms or COVID-19. Patients: Please wear a mask if you have upper respiratory symptoms or fever.
Wow! Do no harm medicine. Just can i say it again "UNBELIEVABLE"! WHERE HAVE ALL THE THINKERS GONE... Long time passing.... Where have all the thinkers gone long long long time ago?
Why aren't we talking about the 700,000 to 1,000,000 people who are amassed at our border awaiting the end of Title 42 on Thursday? Because Biden's handlers ended the plandemic the lawsuit that was to go in from of the Supreme Court is done. The 1,500 troops that have been ordered to the border is the Welcoming Committee, not to hold the people back. At the end of this week we won't recognize our country anymore.
It's almost as if there was a concerted attack on what used to be called Christendom. But that's probably a coincidence...lots of 'em been happening lately.
I share in concerns for the future (at least as much as I care about my race, since I don't have any children.) However, I am skeptical that "the Great Replacement" is all a diabolical plan. I'll be the first to admit that many groups advocated for certain policies (e.g. open immigration) and/or were positioned to profit from it (e.g. agricultural interests for cheap labor), to say nothing of politicians and NGOs who profit -- both in dollar terms as well as virtue signaling -- their support for the poor migrant masses only seeking a better life. But the "deliberate intent" view falls short when one considers certain demographic trends. Strongest of these is the declining birth rate of "rich nations." This dates back many, many decades -- to the 1950s at least. The advent of The Pill, other birth control and (unfortunately) legalized abortion merely amplified the trend. Like it or not, as a nation grows affluent most folks want smaller families or no kids at all. On the other side of the teeter-totter were rising living standards in poor nations, especially in terms of better nutrition and medical care. Virtually all that came due to Western nations innovating technology and some combination of capitalism and charity (both government and private.) The end result, entirely predictable, was a population boom. There you have it -- two hugely influential trends driving global migration as well as wealth inequality, as well as shrinkage of legacy (white) population in Europe, North America and other "rich" nations. No conspiracy theory required.
I think you both make good points and it’s not necessarily either/or, it can be both/and. All those elements working in tandem add up to a bad situation.
All right, let's get real. The planet is not, never has been and never will be "over-populated". That's a fantasy sold the same way a snake-oil salesman promotes his wares, through fear and greed.
Now what is happening at our southern border is a deliberate, orchestrated invasion of the US, promoted, facilitated and paid for by the Communists in Washington DC and their comrades in the UN. It's got NOTHING to do with so-called overpopulation in the 3rd world. This is weaponized migration, just one element of 5th Generation Warfare. The hordes headed to our border don't even have to walk. They are being bused and given housing on their trek. Really??? Do you think they would be here if they weren't being paid to come? By the millions???
Homeland Security “Mayorkas has intentionally increased the size of the Darien Gap camp,” Yon charged. “He’s not shutting it down, like some fake reports in the media. They are actually clearing land to expand the camps. I’ve seen the trailers and the brand-new bunk beds myself,” Yon told the Standard.
The European based NWO has failed in their attempt to install, and I use that word advisedly, a ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT. They have even failed to MANDATE everyone to be vaxxed. I think the % of people in the US who are vaxxed is less than claimed. And thus, they have failed to achieve a comprehensive genocide. The American people have yet to be subjugated. They must conquer America or their plan will fail entirely.
A new bloc has arisen in the East and is attracting nations that the USG assumed to be their possessions, uh excuse me, allies. The overlords of the NWO (the Rothchilds family, the Vatican and the British crown) must now be satisfied with only the "west" and consolidate their power behind a redoubt until they can in the future again attempt a one world government.
To do this, they will have to erect a new "iron curtain" around Australia, NZ, the US, Canada and part of western Europe and cut us off from the rest of the world. For this to work, they HAVE to subjugate America. But as Soros has remarked, the Americans have proven to be especially difficult to subjugate. They plan will fail entirely if they cannot subjugate America. This is the quintessential battle we now face. They must take the glove off of the iron fist of Marxism and destroy what we know as America or they will fail utterly. Nothing is beyond the pale to achieve their goal.
We will not get through this unscathed. Our only hope is that, even though we may die, our efforts will have freed our offspring from this heinous tyranny.
Latino peoples on the most part are Christian and practicing more than Anglos are today. They are good people, hard workers, quite family oriented and conservative leaning. They try hard to be friendly and to assimilate.
Dont forget that Latinos come from many countries and islands all over our part of the globe, and many have Spanish or Italian ethnicity.
Blanket suggestion for many people: Please dont be xenophobic.Those of us with backgrounds from Italy or Greece heard of our grandparents stories which mirrored the same xenophobic attitudes.
I lived in NY and now work in South Florida and meet Latinos every day. They are wonderful- wealthy ones and poor ones.. 👍😊
I lived in South Florida when the Cubans started to arrive. The area around downtown Miami was a dump. The Cubans cleaned it up and made it waaay better. On the other hand, I was in Costa Rica several years ago, where the main industry seemed to be fences and concertina wire. I asked a friend if it was safe to live there and she told me that it was safe”now”, they’d elected a new President and he kicked out illegal Guatamalans. Who knows? And since the safety of Americans seems to be at the bottom of politicians lists (except DeSantis!❤️) the future is pretty predictable. Saw a Biden re-election bumper sticker yesterday- made me almost drive my car off the road!
Ofcourse the illegal problem is huge and a slap in the face of many of our grandparents and great grandparents who had to go through economic and legalistic hoops to *legally* come here.
Re elect Biden: UGH.
I saw a bumper sticker once that said "if you are driving alone in your car wearing a mask, you don't need to tell me who you voted for; I already know!" 🤣🤣🤣
That is so true. No one is madder about illegal immigration than the people who jumped through all the hoops and paid thousands of dollars over a period of years to gain citizenship.
Nothing in my statement was xenophobic. I was stating the reality of the situation. Don't cast stones at imaginary enemies.
Meanwhile Europe, the heart of Christendom, is being overrun by people who do not share its traditional values, morals, or religion.
Isolated, this can be waved off, but it needs to be taken with deadly seriousness in light of the anti-white, anti-Christian sentiments of our vile elites.
Europe is no longer “the heart of Christendom”. It is post-Christian. Having rejected the only saving Light, it now proceeds to enter into darkness and decay. Same for America. We are Babylon. But rejoice and persevere because we know how the story ends!
They have broken our laws. Sorry... I think you are so wrong. They come here with their hands out. In the meantime, law abiding US citizens are taxed to death to support these lawbreakers (and drug dealers and terrorists and criminals). Our vets are homeless and mentally unstable are untreated and on the streets. Wake the hell up.😡
Those you mentioned coming from Italy or Greece came legally.
And they assimilated.
These new invaders from the south are not. And are forming areas where only Spanish is spoken - many southern TX counties no longer have English lango as the majority.
I know that. However I sense disdain for all Spanish speaking people because of the illegals. My point was that there are so many Spanish speaking legal immigrants who are wonderful.
Check out Tommy Robinson's Telegram channel. He's documenting it. Shocking. And I'm sure it's coming for us in the US after Friday. I weep for my country.
Something that confounds me and maybe you have an idea: WHY would globalists who want the population to be what it was approx 500 years ago want to encourage people who are prolifically reproducing to be spread across the nations where they could breed MORE prolifically?
They think those people will be more compliant, happy to accept the dole and serve as slaves to the elites. Our only hope is that, as individuals, perhaps they genuinely want a better life and are after the American dream and will r3volt with us.
I think as often happens, those with power and influence think they are smarter than they really are, and can control more than they really can. I totally think it could backfire on them. Like the Iranian mullahs who pushed for a higher birth rate so they could have more soldiers for Islam (literal and figurative) and ended up with a huge youth population that hates the mullahs and the people in power and keep trying to rebel against them. I’m betting one day they’ll succeed.
Iran has about 86 million, and something like 60% are under 30. I worked in Iran for 2 years (1977-80) and it was an older population back then. Many of the younger people there now ask their parents "what on earth were you thinking?" about why they supported the revolution (if they did). But so many of that 60% have never known what life was like in Iran before.
I know, isn’t that incredible?! Especially when considering the low birth rates in most western nations.
I love that the people in this comment section all have such interesting experiences!! 😍 So cool that you worked there years ago! My mom was fascinated by Iran (well, she was fascinated by other cultures in general actually) and read so much about Iran and took every opportunity she could to talk to people from there. She always shared within me all of the interesting things she learned.
Have you read Reading Lolita in Tehran by any chance? I thought that was a pretty good illustration about how some of the idealistic naive youth/students got hoodwinked into supporting the revolutionaries.
That seems plausible. The people that have been waiting in line to come to America seem more likely (generally) to want a better life for their family. Who knows how many coming illegally share that desire. I wonder how many we can have on the dole and not collapse in on ourselves. Maybe they are hoping for a massive fentanyl kill off. But that would kill off their constituency... hmm. Dilemma.
We have so many Hispanics in CA, a great many from Mexico but not all of them. We recently had some tree work done after the storms, and we hired a Mexican origin fellow who has a tree business locally. Perfect English, but immigrated with his parents when young. He told me he voted for Trump, and then went on and on about how good the economy and everything was under Trump. He said most Hispanics he knows are enthusiastic Trump voters, and they hate the leftie idiots running this state. It makes me wonder if the Democrats' plan to import voters may backfire on them. I've know other Mexican/South American origin people talk about how they vote R, they voted for Trump. Next election their numbers may be even greater. One can hope!
Exactly.....they want more sheep. The dems believe that they will vote for them when they are all declared legal at some point. This will change the country forever. Ask the WEF why. It’s part of the plan.
Remember, the so-called "elite" don't want thinkers, they want workers. The globalists have become so weak and effete, they will need some poor SOB to wipe their asses
Well, that's for sure. If the last few years haven't brought that little truth to the forefront, then nothing has been uncovered. But how to deal with all the traffickers, criminals, addicts? Maybe that is what they want? Seems suicidal. Criminals are somewhat just as likely to kill them. Hard to get a gang member to bow the knee and bare the neck.
You're looking at this wrong. The overlords are weaponizing mass migration as a means to destroying the western democracies and especially the United States. It's the same effect as opening the gates for the barbarians to invade the Roman Empire. This is 5th Generation Warfare and Americans are the target. This is how they will subjugate us.
I suppose if you take down America, the rest will be easy. Then everyone will be clamoring for a one world government. I remember reading a quote by some diplomat - maybe Swedish? where he said something like "we need a savior - anyone would do". I'm sure they'd like us to think that. Enter the dragon.
The folks in the services will always be welcomed by the moneyed class. As NanPel said, “Who will pick the crops?” I add: who will walk our dogs, clean our houses and pools, who will do our mani-pedis… The servers will be allowed to live.
Jayapal a D Congrex from WA said U.S. “needs immigrants” because they “pick the food we eat” and “clean our homes.”
I think they will get more than they bargained for. When in history has any sovereign nation successfully put out the call for the overrun of their country. Even during our own Westward expansion we had preferences. We didn't say send us your gang members, shiftless, terrorists... and we were a lot smaller back then and didn't have welfare back then! What we are doing is suicide by a million plus cuts.
We used to allow groups to immigrate, selected numbers from specific countries, and then the next year other groups would be allowed to immigrate. This allowed people to assimilate better, and this has been one of our strengths as a nation. People are coming in at such a fast rate I don't see how they can or will assimilate very quickly.
We have always had a mix of folks fleeing persecution and people seeking work (groups often came over in big groups after being recruited). We controlled it for the most part. But this mess is a total breakdown of our sovereign borders, the boundary of our nation. The government's main function is to protect and defend the country and its people. They are doing the exact opposite in every way. I think I agree with Politico Phil. It seems like they are trying to bring down the nation. There is no effort to try to get anyone assimilated. It's just mayhem.
When I lived in CA as a child there was mass humanitarian influx of Asians and later Iranians. Each group came in and tried to (largely) set up camp, make money, get their kids in school and start life. This is not that.
I read over the weekend that since Biden took office, we've had 6.3 million illegal immigrants enter the country. 6.3 MILLION. There are six states with populations smaller than that. This is insanity.
Edit for accuracy. The 6.3 million figure is correct, but I misstated how many states have this population. It's not 6 but 33 with populations under this figure. Sorry for my mistake.
First step in depop is to get rid of the high intelligence, high performing 1st World population. The people that invented almost all science, classical music, built giant castles and amazing cathedrals.
Once they're no longer the majority, you turn the third worlders upon them, just like Rhodesia and South Africa. This is exactly the pattern they've established.
This is classic Marxism. Read history and put yourself in it. Marxists control the Fed Gov't and they are actively waging war upon us and killing us. Yet Americans are not defending themselves from attack. It won't be long before no Americans will be policemen. All the police will be non-Americans who will do whatever they are ordered to do to us.
The pink haired obese lady wonders if her mask is bad science.
Well, that's a start hon.

Sounds like you're doing good!
I went from 225 to 175 by intermittent fasting.
Skip breakfast and lunch every other day. I did a 3.75 day fast once; it was a great confidence builder knowing I can take control.
Fasting has long been a tradition in religion. Good for the mind and body.
When I eat animal-based keto (mostly ground beef, eggs, avocados), I can fast easily because I feel satiated. And i don't get cravings. Plus i lost weight, no longer suffer from depression, anxiety, panic attacks or road rage. And I'm no longer pre-diabetic.

I cut out a lot of red meat even though I still eat some. I don’t believe red meat is all bad. But I was eating A LOT and a lot of sausage because it was cheaper for a while. I eat real Alaska wild caught fish occasionally. I eat chicken. I also add flax seed to my salads. And the dressing is now olive oil w/vinegar and some spices. I eat a lot of avocados and some eggs. I use avocado oil to cook. So I’m just modifying and changing some stuff to make it a lifestyle change and not just a fad. Heathy fats. Good protein. Lower carbs.

Exactly! I’ve been learning about healthy fats, oils, and sugar for the past five years. Sugar is in everything too.

I recommend listening to Joe Rogan podcast featuring Dr. Aheem Malhorta- he goes into the statin lie in good detail. Great listen! Good luck to you!

IF is the way to go not only for weight loss but for overall health and longevity. Everything works better when you take the body through fasting.
Basically that kind of fasting (skipping meals) balances out calories at the end of the week?
You're at a deficit of calories. But the important aspect is the time (the duration) between eating periods. Once there's no food in your stomach, the body goes into ketosis and gets energy from your fat. The minute you nibble a couple of almonds, you mess that whole process up. So absolutely no calories during the fast period, so to not interrupt the fat burning.

Thanks for posting website.
DietDoctor.com is a great site....I've subscribed to it for probably 10 years. It has a lot of great recipes, too!
Interesting.
It’s all about insulin. The fat storage hormone. Read anything by Dr. Jason Fung esp The Obesity Code
Has nothing, or at least very little, to do with calories.
It is more about the KIND of calories than the AMOUNT.
Good Calories, Bad Calories by an author whose name I can't remember is a good read about this idea that the type of calories (carbs, fats, kind of fats, protein) matters waaayyyy more than the amount.
Fat Head Kids by Tim/Tom Naughton (can never remember) tells the story of a guy who ate 3,000 calories a day for a month (or something to that effect). Eating all real food, healthy fats and few carbs, he lost inches. Eating the standard American diet, he gained a ton of weight and felt awful.
Totally agree. I am on a whole, healthy natural food diet my entire life, but still need to watch the overall calories or the weight goes up. I do not count vegetable calories though. That was something I learned at WW back in the 80s.
At 65, I have managed to stay the same weight I was at 25. For a woman, that is a huge feat!
Tom Naughton started w/ "Fat Head" in response to "Super Size Me". It's a cheesy documentary, but he ate fast food for a whole month, kept a food log, and lost weight. He skipped the extra carbs, ate salads, bunless burgers (or very little breading), skipped fries and deep-fried foods, and drank water or sugar-free drinks. His doctor was stunned.
That experience led him to do more research on the "why did it work this way" and produce the Fat Head and Fat Head Kids line. He's now just happily living his life w/ his family somewhere in TN, having escaped CA during this period. :)
We love the Fat Head Kids book. Gave us a vocabulary to use w our young person when talking about food and why we eat what we do. Thanks for the details.
The author is Gary Taubes. It's a great and informative book, and he also has a newer one too. I've read both, and they're both good. He shows how the American public has been misled by the so-called nutrition community for decades. Hmm....are we surprised that certain medical "experts" have lied to us?
Thanks for helping with the author. I get him and Gary Fetke, the Australian orthopedic surgeon who nearly lost his license for telling patients to eat the Gary Taubes way.
It was knowing about the dietary misinformation and statin fraud that made us wary about the latest Safe and Effective. Thank God!
There's this guy at my local Publix that is double masked....it's like he's still living in March 2020 something. I happened to see him yesterday and peeking across the top of his nose, over his nostrils you could see like what seemed like an alcohol pad swab, couldn't tell but it definitely wasn't a third mask. I mean the guy might have fear of germs, but come on now, no one that works there wears a mask.
The swab was probably soaked in Neosporin, helping his open sores from the daily double masks.
🤢🤮
Out here it doesn’t matter weight or health, young or old, so many brainless sheep wearing them. A resurgence lately!
Yep in a blue state still plenty of them around. Especially black people where i work. All but 1 out of the 5-6 on my shift still wear a mask all day... smh.
The person that has chosen to continue with masking as a breath issue is the clearest illustration of mental illness of irreversible fear hypnosis. More proof of the dumbing of Americans as brain dead. I said it. I'll say it again as well. Brain Dead. (As in incapable)
It's exhausting to cater to dim wits as we are being drowned in irrational dysfunctions.
I've been sad to realize there are a lot of very very very not so smart Americans out there. Has it always been that way and I just didn't realize it???
Yes
Well said
I still see a few mask-holes when I'm out and about. Usually white, middle-aged women with rainbow hair.
"Tell me you're a Biden voter without telling me you're a Biden voter".
Middle aged? White WHAT?! What color hair? HOW CAN YOU TELL gender??
Give me a sign. 🤣
LOL! Right kitkat. Every mask wearer is a Biden voter.
Mask wearing = mental illness. Avoid them at all costs.
Right, but skilled tv watching is all it takes.
LMAO. You might be racist if you think anyone with pink, purple, green etc hair is a trans. I run when I see them. I personally think they might be the biggest homeland terrorists threat in the good old USA so I stay the heck away from them.
Is that a shop vac filter she's WEARING?! METAL screw clamp add all!!??!! M A Y B E she's wrong 🤣🤣🤣 Maybe she's RIGHT. If she believes it would be sin to remove it then she should definitely keep wearing it. 😵💫
Brilliant RJ....a shop vac filter. However, maybe she is dieting and the mask helps her to AVOID eating CARS. 😂
Obviously not after three years! Equally Obvious, she is a stress eater with or without the mask. We all do it. 😛
I thought it was her dog’s silicone travel bowl. Suffocatingly silicone!
That’s what I thought it looked like as well...
😂😂😂
And she can't be wearing it too much. She looks like she has unrestricted access to the buffet.
LOL. I was wondering the same thing although my interpretation was a plastic storage container with buttons sewn on. She thoughtfully added a bit of cloth binding around the edges of the container to avoid the nasty edges. Ah, I know. It was the container that the peach-colored hair color came in. Waste not, want not!
😂😂😂😂💯
You KNOW your inbox is going to be mahem right? Haha.
I mean there's enough space inside that plate looking mask to hide some chow.
Yeah she got roasted on twitter, then frantically blocked everyone...
I have a co-worker who has a deluxe N-95 type mask strapped to her face every second of the day. Given what we know combined with the recent German studies it does not look good.
You're not implying that's a FEED BAG??
who meeeeee? never. I would never subject anyone to feed bag shaming 😒
🤣🤣🤣🤣 it could be.
Can she even breathe in that thing?
🤭
Had someone ask in a forum related to an upcoming con if there would be a "masks-required room". Can't point out any actual facts on that site without getting banned so just letting it go. One person did note "the WHO said this is over" and of course someone responded "well, that doesn't mean that the _threat_ is over". Ugh. One site mod responded that there would be a room set aside for people who insist on masks - hopefully ever-shrinking rooms as time goes on and more people realize they're done.
Here's hoping people like the one pictured in the update do start realizing they're just wrong about masks. :/
Johns Hopkins FINALLY gets with the science!
Updated COVID-19 Guidelines
Effective Apr. 24, masking is strongly recommended but no longer required in all JHM buildings. Care partners and visitors: Please do not visit if you have fever, upper respiratory symptoms or COVID-19. Patients: Please wear a mask if you have upper respiratory symptoms or fever.
Wow! Do no harm medicine. Just can i say it again "UNBELIEVABLE"! WHERE HAVE ALL THE THINKERS GONE... Long time passing.... Where have all the thinkers gone long long long time ago?
Good one! 😆
Why aren't we talking about the 700,000 to 1,000,000 people who are amassed at our border awaiting the end of Title 42 on Thursday? Because Biden's handlers ended the plandemic the lawsuit that was to go in from of the Supreme Court is done. The 1,500 troops that have been ordered to the border is the Welcoming Committee, not to hold the people back. At the end of this week we won't recognize our country anymore.
This is happening to all White countries.
Every single one.
8% of the world population, and declining faster than any other.
It's almost as if there was a concerted attack on what used to be called Christendom. But that's probably a coincidence...lots of 'em been happening lately.
It isn’t “ almost” , it is INTENTIONAL.
I share in concerns for the future (at least as much as I care about my race, since I don't have any children.) However, I am skeptical that "the Great Replacement" is all a diabolical plan. I'll be the first to admit that many groups advocated for certain policies (e.g. open immigration) and/or were positioned to profit from it (e.g. agricultural interests for cheap labor), to say nothing of politicians and NGOs who profit -- both in dollar terms as well as virtue signaling -- their support for the poor migrant masses only seeking a better life. But the "deliberate intent" view falls short when one considers certain demographic trends. Strongest of these is the declining birth rate of "rich nations." This dates back many, many decades -- to the 1950s at least. The advent of The Pill, other birth control and (unfortunately) legalized abortion merely amplified the trend. Like it or not, as a nation grows affluent most folks want smaller families or no kids at all. On the other side of the teeter-totter were rising living standards in poor nations, especially in terms of better nutrition and medical care. Virtually all that came due to Western nations innovating technology and some combination of capitalism and charity (both government and private.) The end result, entirely predictable, was a population boom. There you have it -- two hugely influential trends driving global migration as well as wealth inequality, as well as shrinkage of legacy (white) population in Europe, North America and other "rich" nations. No conspiracy theory required.
You simply control the border to keep out the invaders. Our (((Homeland Security Director))) refuses to do that.
Chuck Schumer says we don't need more white and black babies, but instead immigrants from south of the border.
But Hungary shows you can make polices to encourage a higher birth rate: https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/11/have-four-or-more-babies-in-hungary-and-youll-pay-no-income-tax-for-life.html
Proper policy to encourage families would solve this. But of course that's not their intention.
Elites like George Soros have stated their plan to replace the White nations. Your attempts to ignore that just seems like liberal hand wringing.
I think you both make good points and it’s not necessarily either/or, it can be both/and. All those elements working in tandem add up to a bad situation.
All right, let's get real. The planet is not, never has been and never will be "over-populated". That's a fantasy sold the same way a snake-oil salesman promotes his wares, through fear and greed.
Now what is happening at our southern border is a deliberate, orchestrated invasion of the US, promoted, facilitated and paid for by the Communists in Washington DC and their comrades in the UN. It's got NOTHING to do with so-called overpopulation in the 3rd world. This is weaponized migration, just one element of 5th Generation Warfare. The hordes headed to our border don't even have to walk. They are being bused and given housing on their trek. Really??? Do you think they would be here if they weren't being paid to come? By the millions???
Homeland Security “Mayorkas has intentionally increased the size of the Darien Gap camp,” Yon charged. “He’s not shutting it down, like some fake reports in the media. They are actually clearing land to expand the camps. I’ve seen the trailers and the brand-new bunk beds myself,” Yon told the Standard.

The European based NWO has failed in their attempt to install, and I use that word advisedly, a ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT. They have even failed to MANDATE everyone to be vaxxed. I think the % of people in the US who are vaxxed is less than claimed. And thus, they have failed to achieve a comprehensive genocide. The American people have yet to be subjugated. They must conquer America or their plan will fail entirely.
A new bloc has arisen in the East and is attracting nations that the USG assumed to be their possessions, uh excuse me, allies. The overlords of the NWO (the Rothchilds family, the Vatican and the British crown) must now be satisfied with only the "west" and consolidate their power behind a redoubt until they can in the future again attempt a one world government.
To do this, they will have to erect a new "iron curtain" around Australia, NZ, the US, Canada and part of western Europe and cut us off from the rest of the world. For this to work, they HAVE to subjugate America. But as Soros has remarked, the Americans have proven to be especially difficult to subjugate. They plan will fail entirely if they cannot subjugate America. This is the quintessential battle we now face. They must take the glove off of the iron fist of Marxism and destroy what we know as America or they will fail utterly. Nothing is beyond the pale to achieve their goal.
We will not get through this unscathed. Our only hope is that, even though we may die, our efforts will have freed our offspring from this heinous tyranny.
Latino peoples on the most part are Christian and practicing more than Anglos are today. They are good people, hard workers, quite family oriented and conservative leaning. They try hard to be friendly and to assimilate.
Dont forget that Latinos come from many countries and islands all over our part of the globe, and many have Spanish or Italian ethnicity.
Blanket suggestion for many people: Please dont be xenophobic.Those of us with backgrounds from Italy or Greece heard of our grandparents stories which mirrored the same xenophobic attitudes.
I lived in NY and now work in South Florida and meet Latinos every day. They are wonderful- wealthy ones and poor ones.. 👍😊
I lived in South Florida when the Cubans started to arrive. The area around downtown Miami was a dump. The Cubans cleaned it up and made it waaay better. On the other hand, I was in Costa Rica several years ago, where the main industry seemed to be fences and concertina wire. I asked a friend if it was safe to live there and she told me that it was safe”now”, they’d elected a new President and he kicked out illegal Guatamalans. Who knows? And since the safety of Americans seems to be at the bottom of politicians lists (except DeSantis!❤️) the future is pretty predictable. Saw a Biden re-election bumper sticker yesterday- made me almost drive my car off the road!
Ofcourse the illegal problem is huge and a slap in the face of many of our grandparents and great grandparents who had to go through economic and legalistic hoops to *legally* come here.
Re elect Biden: UGH.
I saw a bumper sticker once that said "if you are driving alone in your car wearing a mask, you don't need to tell me who you voted for; I already know!" 🤣🤣🤣
That is so true. No one is madder about illegal immigration than the people who jumped through all the hoops and paid thousands of dollars over a period of years to gain citizenship.
Nothing in my statement was xenophobic. I was stating the reality of the situation. Don't cast stones at imaginary enemies.
Meanwhile Europe, the heart of Christendom, is being overrun by people who do not share its traditional values, morals, or religion.
Isolated, this can be waved off, but it needs to be taken with deadly seriousness in light of the anti-white, anti-Christian sentiments of our vile elites.
Europe is no longer “the heart of Christendom”. It is post-Christian. Having rejected the only saving Light, it now proceeds to enter into darkness and decay. Same for America. We are Babylon. But rejoice and persevere because we know how the story ends!
Yes, I agree for Europe.
I wasnt responding to you specifically, just making a blanket observation of attitudes I saw in many posts. Peace.
Peace to you, AngelaK.
'many posts that are xenophobic'?
I don't see it.
They seem like well vetted opinions.
No problem if all this immigration jazz is done LEGALLY.
They have broken our laws. Sorry... I think you are so wrong. They come here with their hands out. In the meantime, law abiding US citizens are taxed to death to support these lawbreakers (and drug dealers and terrorists and criminals). Our vets are homeless and mentally unstable are untreated and on the streets. Wake the hell up.😡
Yes, and we can welcome them to come in as legal immigrants and we control the illegal immigration.
Those you mentioned coming from Italy or Greece came legally.
And they assimilated.
These new invaders from the south are not. And are forming areas where only Spanish is spoken - many southern TX counties no longer have English lango as the majority.
I know that. However I sense disdain for all Spanish speaking people because of the illegals. My point was that there are so many Spanish speaking legal immigrants who are wonderful.
I read Ireland is letting all in and building housing while homeless Irish are piling up in doorways, verges, tents.
Check out Tommy Robinson's Telegram channel. He's documenting it. Shocking. And I'm sure it's coming for us in the US after Friday. I weep for my country.
Something that confounds me and maybe you have an idea: WHY would globalists who want the population to be what it was approx 500 years ago want to encourage people who are prolifically reproducing to be spread across the nations where they could breed MORE prolifically?
They think those people will be more compliant, happy to accept the dole and serve as slaves to the elites. Our only hope is that, as individuals, perhaps they genuinely want a better life and are after the American dream and will r3volt with us.
I think as often happens, those with power and influence think they are smarter than they really are, and can control more than they really can. I totally think it could backfire on them. Like the Iranian mullahs who pushed for a higher birth rate so they could have more soldiers for Islam (literal and figurative) and ended up with a huge youth population that hates the mullahs and the people in power and keep trying to rebel against them. I’m betting one day they’ll succeed.
Iran has about 86 million, and something like 60% are under 30. I worked in Iran for 2 years (1977-80) and it was an older population back then. Many of the younger people there now ask their parents "what on earth were you thinking?" about why they supported the revolution (if they did). But so many of that 60% have never known what life was like in Iran before.
I know, isn’t that incredible?! Especially when considering the low birth rates in most western nations.
I love that the people in this comment section all have such interesting experiences!! 😍 So cool that you worked there years ago! My mom was fascinated by Iran (well, she was fascinated by other cultures in general actually) and read so much about Iran and took every opportunity she could to talk to people from there. She always shared within me all of the interesting things she learned.
Have you read Reading Lolita in Tehran by any chance? I thought that was a pretty good illustration about how some of the idealistic naive youth/students got hoodwinked into supporting the revolutionaries.
That seems plausible. The people that have been waiting in line to come to America seem more likely (generally) to want a better life for their family. Who knows how many coming illegally share that desire. I wonder how many we can have on the dole and not collapse in on ourselves. Maybe they are hoping for a massive fentanyl kill off. But that would kill off their constituency... hmm. Dilemma.
We have so many Hispanics in CA, a great many from Mexico but not all of them. We recently had some tree work done after the storms, and we hired a Mexican origin fellow who has a tree business locally. Perfect English, but immigrated with his parents when young. He told me he voted for Trump, and then went on and on about how good the economy and everything was under Trump. He said most Hispanics he knows are enthusiastic Trump voters, and they hate the leftie idiots running this state. It makes me wonder if the Democrats' plan to import voters may backfire on them. I've know other Mexican/South American origin people talk about how they vote R, they voted for Trump. Next election their numbers may be even greater. One can hope!
I hope you're right. I've seen the same with people here in Florida.
Karen H,my hope is these immigrants will become better Americans than the stupid white liberals who have allowed for all the destruction.
Exactly.....they want more sheep. The dems believe that they will vote for them when they are all declared legal at some point. This will change the country forever. Ask the WEF why. It’s part of the plan.
Remember, the so-called "elite" don't want thinkers, they want workers. The globalists have become so weak and effete, they will need some poor SOB to wipe their asses
Well, that's for sure. If the last few years haven't brought that little truth to the forefront, then nothing has been uncovered. But how to deal with all the traffickers, criminals, addicts? Maybe that is what they want? Seems suicidal. Criminals are somewhat just as likely to kill them. Hard to get a gang member to bow the knee and bare the neck.
And iron their shoelaces.
You're looking at this wrong. The overlords are weaponizing mass migration as a means to destroying the western democracies and especially the United States. It's the same effect as opening the gates for the barbarians to invade the Roman Empire. This is 5th Generation Warfare and Americans are the target. This is how they will subjugate us.
I suppose if you take down America, the rest will be easy. Then everyone will be clamoring for a one world government. I remember reading a quote by some diplomat - maybe Swedish? where he said something like "we need a savior - anyone would do". I'm sure they'd like us to think that. Enter the dragon.
Phil. I hate that you could be right.
So do I. This is why I feel like doing something stupid tonight like having a cigarette or something.
Haha. Don't do it Phil. It took a long time to quit. Or at least get over it. Plus I will feel like I have to join you. Desperate times.
The folks in the services will always be welcomed by the moneyed class. As NanPel said, “Who will pick the crops?” I add: who will walk our dogs, clean our houses and pools, who will do our mani-pedis… The servers will be allowed to live.
Jayapal a D Congrex from WA said U.S. “needs immigrants” because they “pick the food we eat” and “clean our homes.”
I think they will get more than they bargained for. When in history has any sovereign nation successfully put out the call for the overrun of their country. Even during our own Westward expansion we had preferences. We didn't say send us your gang members, shiftless, terrorists... and we were a lot smaller back then and didn't have welfare back then! What we are doing is suicide by a million plus cuts.
We used to allow groups to immigrate, selected numbers from specific countries, and then the next year other groups would be allowed to immigrate. This allowed people to assimilate better, and this has been one of our strengths as a nation. People are coming in at such a fast rate I don't see how they can or will assimilate very quickly.
My experience is that very few wish to assimilate.
We have always had a mix of folks fleeing persecution and people seeking work (groups often came over in big groups after being recruited). We controlled it for the most part. But this mess is a total breakdown of our sovereign borders, the boundary of our nation. The government's main function is to protect and defend the country and its people. They are doing the exact opposite in every way. I think I agree with Politico Phil. It seems like they are trying to bring down the nation. There is no effort to try to get anyone assimilated. It's just mayhem.
When I lived in CA as a child there was mass humanitarian influx of Asians and later Iranians. Each group came in and tried to (largely) set up camp, make money, get their kids in school and start life. This is not that.
I read years ago that Muslims have a birth rate of 7:1 for all non muslims
🥲
I read over the weekend that since Biden took office, we've had 6.3 million illegal immigrants enter the country. 6.3 MILLION. There are six states with populations smaller than that. This is insanity.
Edit for accuracy. The 6.3 million figure is correct, but I misstated how many states have this population. It's not 6 but 33 with populations under this figure. Sorry for my mistake.
If they were all bussed to Martha’s Vineyard, the entire 101st Airborne would be stationed at the border in a week.
The de-population doesn't seem to be working...
First step in depop is to get rid of the high intelligence, high performing 1st World population. The people that invented almost all science, classical music, built giant castles and amazing cathedrals.
Once they're no longer the majority, you turn the third worlders upon them, just like Rhodesia and South Africa. This is exactly the pattern they've established.
This is classic Marxism. Read history and put yourself in it. Marxists control the Fed Gov't and they are actively waging war upon us and killing us. Yet Americans are not defending themselves from attack. It won't be long before no Americans will be policemen. All the police will be non-Americans who will do whatever they are ordered to do to us.
