Devils Advocate

I would say that Texas needs a mass exodus. People need to voluntarily leave the state, and I do not mean by means of the virus. The healthy vaccinated ones need to get the hell out of hell. I have already heard and seen reference to Texas is the new Taliban. Which I think is pretty bad considering how they treat women in the middle east. So, I think everyone has heard and seen all the reasons why banning abortions in Texas robs women of their own body rights. And as I stated yesterday, “most” women know they are pregnant long before they get the test. They have this women’s intuition that tells them secret stuff. Ask any woman and they will act like it is one of their superhero powers. Like a mom knows when her kid is in danger. Spidey sense but for moms. Now I know the media and liberal groups are saying “But what about rape and incest?” What about it? Not to be a jerk, but if you were raped, it doesn’t take SIX WEEKS to figure out you don’t want to keep that baby. Hello? Usually they know after the rape evaluation at the hospital that they don’t want it. I didn’t read into the law, but I am pretty sure that abortions are still legal for six weeks.

If you are a guy and didn’t know, there is this thing called “The Morning After” pill. You can take it immediately after sex and if there was any chance of an egg being fertilized it is magically taken care of. Super simple. So, it is not like Texas is taking THAT away is it? And honestly, that pill is way cheaper than an abortion. And if you are NEW to abortions, like you never knew anyone who had one, then you really should go watch 13 Reasons Why, on Netflix. There is an episode/issue with one of the high school girls getting pregnant. She goes to an abortion clinic and they show it. You get to experience what she goes through. As a man it is kind of disturbing to witness it. Honestly in this day and age with as much birth control that is available there is no be reason why there are accidental pregnancies. PLUS, with as many STD’s that are running wild, it is a good idea to be extra careful. A dick mask, or a condom should be used.

*

I think the real underlying hidden issue is that women (in general) are having a lot of unprotected sex and now they are being called out on it. I honestly had no idea there were so many babies being terminated. Why? Because she got laid, got pregnant and was irresponsible and now wants to be rid of the problem. There is an episode in Sex and the City where Miranda gets pregnant. She called it a “procedure”. Wow. In case you didn’t know, the world in general is producing less babies every year. People are waiting longer in life to start a family and focusing on their career. Instead of 2-3 kids, parents are only willing to have one. I can think of dozens of my own friends who are married or partnered and decided that having kids was not for them. Pets. Pets are a much better alternative.

Yesterday the US reported 2,932 deaths due to COVID. 645,383 total deaths. Over 39 million people testing positive. A shout out to Vermont at 68% vax’d. Mississippi has the lowest rate at 38%.

Cry Me A River

Have you ever wondered what the fascination with living in the Big Apple is? Like, why do people pay ridiculous amounts of money to live in a cracker jack apartment? There have no yard, and if you want any outdoor space you have to be a millionaire. I love watching “Million Dollar Listing New York City”. Where else can you see how the rich and semi famous live in NYC? Other than Gossip Girl, this show gives you a glimpse at what people are willing to pay for when they have boatloads of money. Now imagine living in your million dollar apartment and having the city flooded because of hurricane Ida. I’m watching the aftermath now on CNN and it is pretty shitty. Not as shitty as things are in Louisiana, but still pretty shitty. Do you wonder where all that water is going to go? I wonder what is going to happen to the earth when the polar ice caps melt even more. Subways are going to very quickly become obsolete. I have looked at what the cost of living would be to relocate to NYC, and OMG it is horrible. Not only is everything super expensive, but most places have some shitty HOA or fee that you can’t get around. Manhattan is really lucky an actual tornado didn’t touch down as all the basements and subways are flooded. I can just imagine all the hotsy totsy millionaires in the sky scrapers recording the tornado from their rooftop decks. But there was no tornado, just lots of rain and now flooding. From what I gather, thousands upon thousands have left NYC due to COVID and many are not coming back. It’s a buyers market and NYC is ON SALE! You can get quite a deal, according to Fredrick and Ryan Serhant, my two favorite agents. I like it even more that the two hate each other and create all kinds of tension on the show. Fredrick is actually kind of a … shark. And Ryan is more of a snake. I guess those are good traits to have as a ruthless salesman.

Also in national news, Texas evidently does and doesn’t support “My Body My Choice” when it comes to women and abortions. A new law was passed that abortions are banned after 6 weeks. So they ban masks and abortions. So let’s kill the living children and promote the ones that aren’t wanted. WTF? Yeah, I’m still scratching my head at how a bunch of republican MEN can make laws that affect women. If you didn’t know, most women have to miss a period to know that they might be pregnant. And if you are new to the planet, that happens every 28 days. So, basically they have 2 weeks after they miss their period to have an abortion … which is usually pretty unlikely as they are usually in denial the first week after missing the period. They think “Oh it’s just late and it will come any day.” Wrong. They are pregnant and if they don’t want it, the clock is ticking. How the fuck do you make a decision in less than 2 weeks if you want to have a baby? You gotta talk to the dad, your friends, your support group, whomever … and that takes time. FUCK Texas. They are a bunch of assholes. Trust me on this one, this will not be tolerated, and I’m not even in the state. I have ZERO stake in this issue as I am not a woman in Texas. Am I wrong? Don’t these things all need to happen before you decide to abort? Yeah, I am crying a river for the ladies in Texas. Rape, incest, … it doesn’t matter. No abortions after 6 weeks. So what can we do to fight this? I saw that there are some groups that want to boycott businesses and events in Texas that bring revenue to the state. Like, hey I’m a rock star and I’m not longer going to perform in your state. Or I’m a movie production company and we won’t film in your state. Or we are a huge corporation and we are taking our international headquarters somewhere else. Anywhere else. Words are power. Use your words to effectively create change.

For some folks, it is the start of Labor Day weekend! If you are out and about just be safe. I can only harp on you for so long. Most of you are grown adults that can make somewhat intelligent choices in your decision making skills.

Last Words

Have you heard any of these responses from the general public? Or are YOU one of these people who are telling other people some of these answers? Well shame on you. YOU are not smarter than a PhD. Most of my readers don’t even have a college degree, and some might have a community college degree in nothing related to science. Yet THEY are the experts. Wrong. For the record, I saw this comic from Occupy Democrats and since not everyone is a democrat, I really felt everyone should take note of it. Does it hit home yet? Have you lost someone yet? I think I might have. I have a friend who refuses to get the shot. He claims he got COVID the first time around (although he can’t prove it) and if it comes around again “God will protect him”. Really? How about the 637,066 Americans that thought God would protect them? God doesn’t play judge and jury when it comes to people dying from a disease. God is the creator, not the destroyer. Lest we not forget that there is evil in this world. Some say that someone very evil created this virus in a lab. Well that is also very possible. Anything is possible right?

And here are some stories from those who refused the vaccine. Courtesy of Occupy Democrats.

“Andre Jacque is a Wisconsin Republican lawmaker who is a vehement anti-masker and anti-vaxxer. On Wednesday August 18 he attended a hearing, unvaccinated and maskless.

On Wednesday August 25 he was fitted for a mask while lying in a critical care bed with a breathing apparatus rammed down his throat.

He’s not dead — yet.

Andre is 40. He has a wife and six children.

John Pierce is a lawyer who represents 18 of the January 6 Anti-American Insurrectionists. He represents more insurrectionists than any other single lawyer, specifically cultivating the cases out of a cultish devotion to Trump and a harbored false belief that Trump “won.”

He also has represented Rudy Giuliani in Rudy’s flagrant Ukraine lobbying scandal; Tulsi Gabbard in her meritless suit against Hillary for “defamation;” and he briefly represented Kyle Rittenhouse.

On August 17, Lawyer Pierce tweeted: “The entire 82nd Airborne couldn’t make me get an experimental government vaccine stuck in my arm.”

A week later on August 25 he was scheduled to be in court for a hearing on one of his insurrectionist clients.

But Lawyer Pierce was not in court.

His partner informed the court:

“Your Honor, Mr. Pierce is in the hospital, we believe with Covid-19, on a ventilator, unresponsive.”

John Mark Pierce is 49.

Missouri Republican state representative Sara Walsh said she and her husband Steve did not get vaccinated because the vaccine only had provisional FDA approval and she and her husband had been “healthy throughout the pandemic.”

This morning, Sara, a candidate for Missouri’s 4th congressional district, posted:

“Steve’s visitation and service is tomorrow and today’s tribute to my beloved Steve Walsh is a recollection of memories of Broadway shows, songs, and faith. Steve loved the Beatles and Motown. Steve was and always will be my Prince Charming.”

It was a lengthy post, ending in a plea for people to accept Jesus as their Savior, even though Jesus refused to save Steve from Covid.

She did not beg people to get vaccinated, even though vaccinations do keep people from dying with Covid.

Steve Walsh was 63. He died of Covid on August 19 leaving behind his 42-year-old wife.

***

Lisa Steadman and her husband Ron were diagnosed with Covid in early August. Lisa finally had to go to the hospital but the big man of the house stayed home to brave and battle Covid alone.

Lisa called Ron every day. On Sunday August 8 he told her his phone was not holding a charge. On Monday August 9 she couldn’t get him on the phone and finally sent the police to their home for a wellness check.

The police called back and told her they had found him out walking the dogs and “he only has a cold.”

The unvaccinated couple did not talk on the phone on Monday after the police wellness check or on Tuesday or on Wednesday morning August 11 before Lisa was released from the Winter Haven Florida hospital after an eight-day stay.

At home, Lisa opened the door.

Ron?

RON? Where are you Ron?

She heard the dogs barking, all in the bedroom.

Slowly she opened the bedroom door.

And there was Ron.

Decomposing.

Lisa says they “had agreed they would wait longer to get the vaccines because I rarely get sick and Ron always wore his mask and stayed away from large crowds and both of us thought the vaccine came out so fast. How could they have done so much testing on it? I was just cautious about it.”

Ron Steadman was 55. He leaves behind his 58-year-old wife and three dogs.

***

Following a week-long church camp, Lydia Rodriguez and her unvaccinated husband Lawrence and several other family members tested positive for Covid.

Lydia felt she could fight it off because she was strong and healthy and “didn’t believe in vaccines.”

Lawrence died first.

Suddenly Lydia thought the vaccine might be a good idea.

But vaccines will do no good in the ICU.

Her only choice was to be intubated.

She never woke up.

She died August 16.

She was 42; he was 49. Their collective foolishness orphaned four children.

***

Phil Valentine was a conservative radio talk-show host on WWTN in Nashville Tennessee.

He was an ardent anti-vaxxer.

Until he got Covid.

Between his diagnosis and hospitalization, he changed his tune and encouraged listeners to get vaccinated.

But it was too late for Phil.

In his ICU bed he told his brother his biggest regret was not being a vocal vaccine advocate.

Phil Valentine was 61 years old. He died of Covid a week ago on August 21.

***

Dick Farrell was a conservative radio talk-show host on WPTV in West Palm Beach Florida.

He was an ardent anti-vaxxer.

Until he got Covid.

From his hospital bed he texted about the vaccine to a friend of 20 years:

“Get it! This is no joke. I wish I had gotten it!”

But it was too late for Dick.

Dick Farrell was 65 years old. He died on August 4 of “severe damage” caused by Covid.

637,066. That is the number of COVID19 deaths as of today, according to the Times. That number will just increase as fans fill stadiums, event halls and banquet receptions. If you have the shot please be dedicated in washing your hands, stop touching your face and just chill out at home for a little bit longer. Yes, I know you are bored. Yes I know you want to see your friends. We all do. But we also want to live. What point is it to see/do that “thing” that exposed you to the virus? Exactly. Nothing is worth dying for right now. And in case you haven’t turned on any media, we pray for all the souls that will be affected by hurricane Ida. They say it will be the worst since the 1800’s. Category 4. I predict it will make Katrina look like his little sis. First the south is devastated by the virus, and now another natural disaster is going to wreck havoc on their lives, … again.

I was reminded by one of my guides that time works differently for those who have passed on. So those baby souls are perfectly content at where they are until it is time for the next transition. So in other words, they can just sit there until the world is ready for them.

The New York Times

American Express platinum members can take advantage of a new perk, a digital subscription to THE New York Times newspaper. Yay! Actually I am really excited about this as they are always posting clickbait articles to get you to subscribe. You are probably like me and think “Oh jeez, just what I need, ANOTHER monthly subscription.” Right? Well, it is only $4. So it’s not like American Express is throwing champagne bottles and expensive cheeses at you. They took away roadside assistance and gave you a bunch of worthless perks, which in reality are just a coupon. Neat. Membership perks at a health fitness club that isn’t in my city, and if it was, would be way too expensive for me.

So back to the Times. It does have some interesting perspectives and facts. I like facts. So I’ll share some with you. 38,552,183. That’s the number of COVID cases in the United States. 634,734. That’s the number of cumulative reported deaths. Keep in mind there are probably thousands upon thousands who have died alone and no one knows it. Homeless people for starters. Runaways. 1,233. That is the number that died YESTERDAY. Oh yes, and let us not forget the 13 soldiers who died in Afghanistan in the suicide bombing. Sad, yes very sad. But let us not forget that those uniformed service warriors took an oath and knew there were risks going to war. They all knew they might die. Now the COVID victims who are hospitalized — that is on them.

*

Everyone is at war with the virus, yet stores are fully stocked with Clorox and Lysol cleaning wipes. Hand sanitizer is on clearance and no one is buying it. And there are 75+ million who don’t want to wear a mask, wash their hands and keep calling the virus a hoax. Something the government and media created to control you. Yes, that is it exactly. Every single fucking country in the nation agreed to let their people die and unanimously voted on it in secret. Wrong. What we really should call it is the fucking idiot virus. Because those who think they are invincible are fucking idiots. Well Darwin said it best. Survival of the fittest. COVID makes sure those idiots are not fit. Walking, breathing, existing will all be challenges for them. What can you say? They were all warned. This isn’t a sudden surprise killer. Go watch Carriers or Contagion … again, to refresh your memory at how you should be acting and behaving in public.

Florida lost another 242 residents yesterday making a total of 43,632 total deaths. Those numbers are of course from the NY Times. University of Florida has 9914 cases, the highest number concentration of all the different places, such as nursing homes, prisons, food processing plants. 3,151,909 total cases for Florida, and things are not looking good. In the blink of an eye, their healthcare system will collapse and fall. I’ll keep my readers posted since I now have the digital subscription. Knowledge is power.

AND Ryan Reynolds kills it again on the big screen in his box office hit, Free Guy. I’ll admit, it was very entertaining. And yes, he is paired up with “Cool Girl” which we all know doesn’t exist, except in Hollywood and in the digital virtual world.

Life 360

It’s time for a shout out! There is this really cool app called Life 360. If you have any family members, like kids, spouses, siblings, whatever and you want to keep tabs on him/her, then you install the Life360 app for all your peeps. Yes, it is like big brother watching you, where you are, and even giving you notifications when someone arrives, but it also gives you a peace of mind knowing where that person is. Yes, the iPhone already has “Where is my iPhone”, but this works on any smartphone. What this app also has is “crash detection”, and roadside assistance with the gold membership. So if you are paying for roadside through AAA or your cell phone, you should cancel those and use this app instead.

*

While experiencing a blow out today, I called American Express platinum to find out they eliminated that nice handy benefit. No roadside. WTF right? They give you free everything, except towing your car. They told me I could use my Uber benefit. I asked if Uber all of the sudden towed cars. No, I can’t use that when my car is stranded on the side of the road during rush hour traffic. So luckily I remembered Life 360 has roadside and they sent a tow truck right away. They told me due to to COVID that I could not ride with the driver and I should call an Uber. Again I laughed, and rolled my eyes. When the driver showed up, he gladly gave me a ride with my car. Life360 will also unlock your car if you accidentally lock those keys … again.

And in case you missed it, SENATOR Hickenlooper from Colorado has contracted COVID19. Yep. Alabama and Mississippi are out of ICU beds. And I will say it since the media isn’t. That motorcycle rally up in Sturgis 2 weeks ago is what is causing all this havoc. Not a single person masked up and then they traveled across the nation spreading disease. There is no congressional concern that kids are killed in school shootings, so why would there be a concern for a mask mandate? Exactly. It won’t be until someone important dies that people will actually do what is right.

And I lied. I actually love glitter. The more the better. Who doesn’t like a little sparkle in their life?

Glitter Bomb

Imagine you were at a crowded event/space with thousands and thousands of people. “Most” everyone has the vaccine (you hope). And then imagine at some point in the middle of the … concert, a giant glitter bomb goes off from the stage and hits everyone with glitter, little pieces of shiny paper and almost everyone has a tiny bit of glam on them. People are happy, jumping around, and even dancing. They are having so much fun. A “few” older people have masks on and seem to be minding their own business. Definitely not celebrating.

*

Do you know how hard it is to get glitter off of you? Of COURSE you do, and that is probably why so many people actually hate it. So the title is glitter bomb as there is an actual product that someone invented to prank people who steal Amazon packages. It is hilarious. I would be absolutely livid if a glitter bomb went off in my house. You would never get it all cleaned up.

*

Now imagine for a minute that instead of a glitter bomb going off at that concert, instead it is … ready for it? You guessed it. It’s COVID. What are the odds that last night in Lincoln Nebraska at Memorial stadium that it was 100% COVID free and everyone was 100% vax’d. Exactly. Not possible. We know that at least one or two or even a hundred people had COVID and got glitter over everyone. And then they went and spread it around town, in their homes, offices, bars and clubs. And then it got onto airplanes and traveled to Vegas, NYC and Texas.

*

You have to think of COVID like you do glitter. You don’t have to eat/breathe it to get it on you and spread it around. All it takes is ONE tiny piece of glitter on you and you got it. You’re not wearing a mask, and of course you touch your face. Well when you put it that way, I REALLY hate glitter. 90 THOUSAND fans all went to see Garth and all of them got glitter on them. Because glitter isn’t alive looking for a new host like COVID is.

A glitter bomb has just exploded in the heartland — Nebraska.

Sense of Smell

Isn’t it funny how your sense of smell is directly related to your sense of taste? If you can’t smell you can’t taste. So if you lose one, you actually lose twice. So if you didn’t know, losing your sense of smell is your first indication you might have contracted the virus. Sadly, many people never regain their sense of smell, and others will have it dramatically affected with nasty smells or rotten aromas in their place. I watched a YouTube interview where there is a small percentage that smell rotten onions and they can’t taste anything. A whole year has gone by and there are no nice smells in their near future. Ever.

*

While there are a lot of theories where the virus came from I have not heard any that this was created from an alien entity. Like, this is only the beginning and the next phase, after most of the population is wiped out, is the invasion. I was really hoping that some talented writers would have come up with some cool new movie story lines. Chris Pratt is in the new one on Amazon Prime, Tomorrow War. If you have Amazon I highly recommend watching it. I saw it twice. It actually is pretty believable. It is not a virus wiping us out movie, it is an alien invasion wipe us out movie. Totally different.

*

What I think is super scary is … what if parents DON’T take precautions, and in a matter of weeks, thousands and thousands of children die quickly. I think it is scary that people who got the vaccine, like Reba McIntire, still caught the virus. Yeah, you heard that right. You are not immune or totally protected unless you are hyper diligent in keeping everything sanitary and sterile. All the stores have Lysol/Clorox wipes in stock. It is like the world forgot to keep using them. Hand sanitizer is literally on clearance in thousands of stores. Stock up, it’s not like it will go bad and you will never use it.

Oh No!

So I am sad to report that one of my favorite YouTube beauty bloggers/reviewers has contracted COVID from her vaccinated husband. She did not get the vaccine for her own personal reasons, and now she is struggling to breathe, possibly live. You know how you spend a lot of time with your favorite personality, and after awhile you really feel like you know him/her? This is very common when someone binge watches their favorite show, or in my case, watched a ton of videos from one particular artist. This actually happens with a lot of my own readers who have been reading the blogs for years. Every now and then a fan/reader will approach me and tell me they know who I am and they read my blogs. I had one person once say she knew me because I write how she thinks. Some people even think like I think because they change or modify their own behaviors and ways of thinking.

So rather than being negative, find a positive opportunity. As much I as I try to find something good from my YouTuber getting the virus, I just haven’t been able to come up with anything and it is just sad. SHE was careful. SHE didn’t go out in public, and yet, she had it personally delivered to her front door. So the only thing I can say is please be diligent in washing your hands, use those cleaning wipes everywhere and try not to go out in public. I don’t know about you, but I would be devastated if any of my little pups or kitty accidentally caught COVID and died.

Open those doors with your butt and stop touching door handles and stop touching your face. Especially if you aren’t wearing a mask. If you have the shot you are not immune to it, you are only “safer” that you won’t die from it. There are people who have the shot and are still getting the virus. Like that dipshit politician who I can’t care enough to repeat his name.

The new, Suicide Squad came out Friday. I’ll just say that it is NOT safe for kids and it is kind of bloody gruesome for a DC movie. Harley Quinn of course stars in it, alongside some military guy from the last movie. I can’t remember his name, but he played Officer Murphy in the Robocop reboot. So if you are headed to the theater you are really only there for the loud subs, big screen and popcorn. Don’t get too invested in this sad, but action packed killer. Jungle Cruise is actually a little more believable and quite a bit more entertaining.

I’m Hungry

What if … we only ate “IF” we were actually hungry? Not, hey it’s lunchtime, let’s go destroy a 1000 calories and top it off with some sugary ice cream that will spike our blood sugar. Has it ever dawned on you that maybe you don’t need to eat all those fatty sugary high carb foods? As a kid you ate because you were told to eat. Guess what? Kids today are getting fatter and fatter and their parents actually encourage it. We can’t totally blame the parents, as those kids have choices and they choose to overeat. 666. That’s how many calories you should eat at 3 meals a day, for each meal. THAT is 2000 calories. Wow, when you put it that way, that 1200 calorie Starbucks double whatever extra shot extra caramel wasn’t really worth it now that you only get one more meal for the day. Or just do whatever the F you want because you didn’t get the shot, you don’t believe you are going to die, because you are INVINCIBLE! There is no such thing as a virus. WRONG. You are reading this and finally getting it that you aren’t as healthy as you once thought you were. You don’t need that hot milked hormone laced Starbucks. If you didn’t know, ALL Starbucks fancy drinks are made with milk. That’s right. Not water. Years ago when I found out I stopped drinking those mochas. Hot milk makes me literally sick. You really have to tell almost every restaurant that serves you that you are vegan so you don’t get unwanted “stuff”.

*

Cheese, milk, anything from a cow has hormones in it. You don’t NEED extra hormones in your system. There is this thing called the endocrine system that will be screwed up. So, if you didn’t know, a cow produces milk when she has a baby cow. We know that right. Well, when they steal the baby cow from the momma cow, she is emotionally traumatized. Her milk, intended for her baby, is now given to YOU, along with her sad tears and emotions that were created when she produced that milk. I know that sounds crazy, but have you ever thought that maybe your shitty emotions you are feeling aren’t really your fault. You ingested sad, hurtful emotions and it is affecting you accordingly. But since you don’t know that, you get pills from a doctor to combat it, but in turn it just makes things worse. Just try not eating dairy/beef for awhile and you will see a significant difference in your health and emotional well being. Chew on that. What you eat and drink affect how you feel. Wow. Go eat a happy strawberry, or a golden delicious apple. The natural sugar will make your heart smile.

Are you smarter than a … PhD?

So if you didn’t watch television, then you wouldn’t know there is/was a show called “Are you smarter than a 5th grader?” Yeah, my title today is a take off of that and I want to point out that many people (like millions) think they are smarter than a fucking doctor. Yeah, WTF is that? I have a friend who dropped out of high school and because a “nurse” with a community college degree said she didn’t think the vaccination was real because it was created too soon — decided that HER half baked opinion was better than the CDC. Hmm. Yeah, he still doesn’t have his shot.

Am I ridiculing and MASK shaming him? Fuck yeah I am. Am I shaming him for not finishing school? No. Shaming him because there are clearly smarter, more educated people (like me) who make much better life, health, career and financial decisions. I pointed out that I can understand that having no good role models can warp your decision making abilities, but I’m right here in front of you telling you to go get the shot. Get the shot. Save a life. Your own.

*

My own brother refused to get the shot and then I said, “Well, you can’t come visit unless you have documented proof you are vaccinated.” Boom. 1st shot next day. Don’t make me have to manipulate you to get the shot. Wait, what? Just by reading this blog your perception has already changed, and you are laughing because you already got the shot. Sweet. Then this wasn’t meant for you. It was meant for you to share it with one of your own network “friends”.
