WORLD NEWS AND COMMENTARY 💬🗞

🔥 Jimmy Buffet Update. People ran a story yesterday afternoon headlined, “Jimmy Buffett’s Cause of Death Revealed as Merkel Cell Skin Cancer.” Merkel cell carcinoma is a rare, aggressive skin cancer that often begins as “red, shiny nodules on the face, hands and neck.”  In its lead paragraph, People stressed Buffett was diagnosed four years ago.

The unstated implication was, obviously, it was the sun that killed him, not the jabs, dummies.

According to the National Cancer Institute’s website, the cause of Merkel cell carcinoma is poorly understood, baffling, but it is often ‘linked’ to exposure to ultraviolet radiation from sunlight or artificial sources. And it is definitely linked to a weakened immune system. Here is the official list of risk factors:

Merkel cell carcinoma is very aggressive. It tends to grow quickly and metastasize at an early stage. It quickly spreads, first to nearby lymph nodes, and then to distant lymph nodes or skin in remote parts of the body, and the lungs, brain, bones, or other organs.

Needless to say, Buffett did not mention anything wrong until May of this year, when he was immediately hospitalized after a routine checkup, and had to cancel a concert. He certainly never mentioned an ultra-rare, fast-spreading cancer, or chemotherapy, or radiation treatment, or anything like that.  There has been no evidence of the rather obvious side effects from those treatments.

In other words, if Jimmy did have Merkel for the last four years, then why didn’t they treat it? I’m speculating, but it looks like the doctors found metastasized Merkel cell tumors for the first time in May. And he was dead by September. Turbo cancer?

Alert readers pointed out the singer enforced a jab mandate at his concerts and at least once referred to the whole band as “fully vaccinated.”

Remember, Merkel cell is a type of skin cancer connected with autoimmune problems. Ironically, in today’s C&C post I’d already planned to cover a new study linking the mRNA vaccines to new and worsened dermatological problems:

Read on.

🔥 Air Force One, containing Bob Peters, I mean Joe Biden, touched down in my home town of Gainesville yesterday. Biden was there for a gala Marine One helicopter tour of swamped Steinhatchee, Cedar Key, Horseshoe Beach, and some photo ops in nearby Live Oak, where the state and FEMA have staged the hurricane Idalia response area.

Governor DeSantis, who was already on the ground in the affected areas, did not meet Biden at the Gainesville airport or anywhere else, citing the difficulty of security arrangements. “We don’t have any plans for the Governor to meet with the President tomorrow,” DeSantis’ press secretary, Jeremy Redfern, told ABC News Friday. “In these rural communities, and so soon after impact, the security preparations alone that would go into setting up such a meeting would shut down ongoing recovery efforts.”

DeSantis’ failure to suck up to Biden annoyed the media. When a reporter prompted Biden whether he had “any message” for Governor DeSantis, Biden said, “We’re gonna take care of Florida.”

I’m not kidding, the first two times I read Biden’s quote, I thought it was a threat.

I think we can live without Biden taking care of us. The Childers family did not attend Biden’s Gainesville airport landing, due to having other plans that could not be easily rearranged. Or not having plans. Either way.

That sentiment seems to have been shared even by residents of the flooded areas. Seen in Cedar Key:

Seen in Horseshoe Beach:

Um. Why did Biden wait two weeks to visit Maui?

🔬 It’s good news that so many jab studies are hitting the journals so frequently now it’s been hard to keep up with them all. One particularly timely study, especially in light of Jimmy Buffet’s death, that slipped notice was published  in May in the Journal of the German Society of Dermatology, titled “Autoimmune skin disorders and SARS-CoV-2 vaccination – a meta-analysis.”

The researchers reported noticing an uptick in autoimmune skin diseases in vaccinated patients in their own clinic, either with existing conditions that had significantly worsened, or in completely new cases. Becoming suspicious, they performed a formal meta-analysis, a study of studies. To keep things manageable, they picked just six specific autoimmune skin diseases for their search, and looked for published reports of new cases or cases where an existing managed disease got significantly worse after vaccination.

Also to keep it manageable, they used a cutoff of an effect within only 21 days. That is, to be included, the new or worsened disease must have occurred within three weeks from getting a jab, and they rejected any studies where cases exceeded that 21 day threshold.

So keep in mind, this is a very narrow slice: only six diseases, and only cases arising immediately after injection.

You won’t be surprised to learn they discovered evidence of an association between vaccination and new onset or worsening of autoimmune diseases:

In summary, there is suggestive evidence that new onset or worsening of autoimmune skin disease is associated with SARS-CoV-2 vaccination… The real number of new onset or worsening of autoimmune skin diseases after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination may be underestimated.

Furthermore, though the researchers considered all types vaccines, the worst-performing ones were, also unsurprisingly, the mRNA-based jabs, although they considered that the higher frequency of mRNA use might bias the figures:

In general, the number of de novo or relapsing autoimmune skin diseases is higher for mRNA-based vaccines.

Here is a link to the study: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ddg.15114

Sadly, this information might have been useful to people, say, dealing with a well-managed Merkel cell diagnosis back when they were considering whether or not to get jabbed.

💉 On the heels of Jimmy Buffett’s mysterious death came another one yesterday. The New York Times ran the obsequious story, headlined “Bill Richardson, Champion of Americans Held Overseas, Dies at 75.” He died mysteriously.

The now-deceased former democrat governor of New Mexico, Clinton’s Energy Secretary, and former Ambassador to the United Nations, was also a champion of connections to Jeffrey Epstein, being in Epstein’s little black book of Very Iniquitous Persons, and being credibly accused by one of Epstein’s young ladies of being trafficked to Richardson. But why speak ill of the dead?

Richardson’s death was announced by the Richardson Center for Global Engagement, which he founded. According to the announcement, Richardson died “peacefully in his sleep” at home. Never even made it to the hospital.

You can read a hundred articles praising Richardson’s career and find no hint of a cause of death anywhere.

In fact, I searched Google news to see if former Governor Richardson had been in the hospital anytime recently, or even last year. Nothing. Not one story about him being in bad health. The CNN interview (pictured above) was from July, and apart from looking a little thin, Richardson spoke strongly and sounded fine.

So, who knows? Chalk it up as another mysterious, sudden, unexpected high-profile death.

🔥 Wired magazine, which used to mainly feature reviews of new tech products, ran a jaw-dropping story Thursday headlined, “Preferring Biological Children Is Immoral.” I’ll admit I didn’t see that one coming. The sub-headline added context: “Most people say they want their kids to be their own genetic offspring—but such a desire is in conflict with other evolving values around parenting and family.”

Evolving values? Uh-oh. Here it comes again.

The wokesters have coined a new term, “biologism,” which is kind of like racism, describing a parent who discriminates against offspring that aren’t actually theirs. They haven’t thought it all the way out yet. One reason it’s poorly thought out is that a person who practices “biologism” would be a “biologist.”

But just what is it?

Wired’s first convoluted argument was that preferring, or “selecting,” children for related genetics is just like selecting them for blue eyes, or selecting against awful genetic defects like Huntington’s disease. Since we don’t want people aborting babies after getting genetic tests, Wired’s thinking went, then we also don’t want parents generally preferring babies that share their own DNA.

I told you it was hard to follow.

Then Wired really went off the rails. Using typical woke double-speak and a heaping helping of word salad, it painfully explained that a parent’s preference for their children to share their own DNA is “parochial,” “patriarchal,” discriminatory to gay people, and — I am not making this up — species-ist:

[Biologism] places undue emphasis on genetic similarity as a criterion for our ethical relations, running against our stated hopes to expand our nets of responsibility and care beyond the borders of nation, ethnicity, culture, and even species. Instead, it normalizes a certain conception of family that reinforces these parochial categories… It’s precisely this argument that has been used for decades to discredit same-sex couples as unfit to be parents. An appeal to naturalism also easily leads into what bioethicist Ezio Di Nucci calls “patriarchal prejudices.”

Wow! In one paragraph, Wired somehow managed to lump in just about every hateful type of discrimination into a single melting pot of anti-parentism.

And so it went, on and on. There was something about new technology allowing surrogacy and other high-tech fertility techniques, and a long diatribe on the horrors of bringing children into this apocalyptic climate-change meltdown of a world:

As one 31-year old woman told researchers, “climate change is the sole factor for me in deciding not to have biological children. I don’t want to birth children into a dying world.”

One hopes this story is just another early-twenties, NYC journalist’s hangover article, cranked out in an absence of a good story just to make the deadline.  But there’s something going on. Wired included this badge:

The future of morality? Wired has come a long way from comparing the pro’s and con’s of new wireless headsets. I have questions. Why do our ethical beliefs have to change in the years to come? What — or who — is changing them? And how did Wired find out about it?

Well. Maybe they are planning to change our ethics. I, for one, intend to resist.

And, “Next Normal” is a stupid name.

🔥 This week delivered another example of the power of social media in the counter-revolution, as a problematic principal was outed and the ensuing anger of parents forced the State of Oklahoma to begin a long-overdue investigation.

On August 30th, Libs of TikTok tweeted about an Oklahoma elementary school principal being a drag queen and having formerly been arrested — but not convicted — in 2002 for possession of child porn. The very next day, ABC affiliate 15-News ran the story headlined, “Oklahoma elementary school hired principal despite past child porn charges, sparking outrage.”

In June this year, John Glenn Elementary School hired Shane Murnan, pictured below, as the school’s new principal. On the evening of Murnan’s hiring, WHSD quietly shared on its Facebook page that it had recently “been made aware of previous charges that were dismissed more than 20 years ago.”

WHSD didn’t explain what those dismissed charges were, so parents can be forgiven for not sooner becoming outraged In fairness, under our legal system, a person is usually presumed innocent if not convicted.

Absent unusual circumstances, that is.

Here’s part of Libs of TikTok’s Thursday tweet, which also included a reference to Murnan’s 2002 arrest:

Drag is not an especially good look for an elementary-school principal. Murnan wisely used a separate social media account to describe his Drag adventures, where he posted pictures and descriptions of often interacting with young children while dressed as a clownlike, unattractive woman, at events like so-called  “drag story hours.”

Murnan’s drag name is “Shantel Mandalay.” How do they think this stuff up?

Following Libs’ viral tweet about Murnan’s checkered past, outraged parents immediately began raising Cain down at the School Board, with some threatening to pull their children out of the district.

As it happens, the parents may have a point. The reason Murnan’s child porn charges were dismissed (after an appeal) is probably very significant to what the background check should have revealed.  Notably, information about Murnan’s case was readily available in news reports from the time.

According to an August 14th, 2002 story in the Oklahoman, police found four deleted images of children engaged in sex acts on Murnan’s hard drive when he was a fifth grade teacher. The case was dismissed after the state failed to prove that Murnan had actually opened and looked the images. There was no dispute that the images were on his hard drive.

“The question is, did he open it?” Murnan’s attorney explained.

That was actually the second round. In the first round, his case was dismissed after Murnan’s attorney argued the state couldn’t prove the children in the videos were under 18. But the court of appeals took one look at the pictures and sent the case back to the judge, saying the children were obviously under 18.

But the judge dismissed the case again, agreeing with Murnan’s attorney’s new argument, that the state couldn’t prove Murnan did anything except delete the photos. It’s not clear to me how you could ever prove someone actually looked at any pictures on their computer, but still.

In a statement last Thursday, the day after the Libs tweet went viral, Oklahoma’s State Department of Education announced it had opened an investigation:

The child porn case was dismissed. It’s not illegal for a principal to moonlight as a drag queen (whether it should be or not is a separate question). So, what do you think? Should Drag Queen Murnan, or Shantel, whichever, continue as an elementary-school principal? Is it even a close call, or no?

Either way, I’m counting this as a win for the counter-revolution. Murnan has been in the Oklahoma school system for over twenty years, and it’s about time the argument was aired. Parents should have a say. Cross-dressing is a factor going to Principal Murnan’s judgment in general.

The pushback never would have happened absent the new counter-revolutionary climate. It would have been all about reprehensible discrimination against poor Principal Murnan over his atypical lifestyle choices and genociding trans people.

Note for new supporters: last year the C&C Army multiplied Libs of TikTok  after the previously-anonymous young lady who runs the channel was doxxed by the Washington Post. Florida Governor DeSantis then invited New York resident Chaya Raichik, who was receiving countless death threats after the doxxing, to stay at the Governor’s mansion for security.

🪳 Bureaucratic termite and diminutive bio-terrorist Anthony Fauci, though retired from his position as official misinformation superspreader, just can’t seem to help himself. He’s back on the interview rounds.

https://twitter.com/TomFitton/status/1698188006048326002

Recently CNN interviewed Fauci over the Fall covid “surge,” asking the unanswerable question “will America comply” with masking? (Hopefully not.)  The only interesting bit was when the CNN interviewer gently challenged the Kafka-esque human cockroach, even mentioning the “gold standard” Cochrane study that showed no benefit from masking.

It was a new look for CNN, and a hopeful sign that we may escape a new round of CDC mandates.

Apparently there’s an argument over whether the CDC ever actually mandated masks.  Fauci excreted the oft-repeated lie that the CDC does not issue mandates, only guidances:

“CDC doesn’t mandate anything… it only recommends. I would hope people would abide by the recommendation and take into account the risk to themselves and their families. Again, we’re not talking about forcing anybody to do anything.”

That logic came as a surprise to cruise ship operators and airlines, both subject to straight-up CDC mandates, and also surprised everyone else who endured two years of claims by mandating employers who were “following the CDC.”

Anyway, around that part was when interviewer Michael Smerconish challenged Fauci with the Cochrane study, even showing on screen part of an interview with the study’s lead researcher. According to the researcher, it doesn’t matter whether you use a surgical mask or an N95 mask, it makes no difference:

Smerconish then asked maskaholic Fauci for a little help: “How do we get beyond that finding of that particular review?”

Fauci’s answer was priceless.

“Yeah, but there are other studies, Michael, that show at an individual level, for individual. When you’re talking about the effect on the epidemic or the pandemic as a whole, the data are less strong. But when you talk about as an individual basis of someone protecting themselves or protecting themselves from spreading it to others, there’s no doubt that there are many studies that show there is an advantage. When you took at the broad population level like the Cochrane study, the data are less firm with regard to the effect on the overall pandemic, but we’re not talking about that.”

“Other studies.” No doubt! Fauci didn’t name a single pro-mask study, much less identify “many studies.” Because he doesn’t know any. Fauci is not a scientist. He’s just a gain-of-function mouthpiece.

What I will never  understand, not in a million years, was this grotesque trend, which I intend to keep reminding everyone about forever:

Have a very blessed Sunday! Thank you beyond words for your continuing loyal support for C&C and its mission to use humor and optimism to ceaselessly beat back The Narrative. We’ll be back with a full roundup on Tuesday for sure, and probably even get a special little Labor Day roundup out tomorrow.
