WORLD NEWS AND COMMENTARY

😎😎 The Heavens put on the biggest Mother’s Day show in the Universe last night, with even more dramatic auroras appearing in even more unlikely places. Here’s a beautiful shot from Sinaloa, Mexico:

Not to be outdone, on the other side of the world, aurora from the Great Wall in China:

And back at home, this striking image came from Tucson, Arizona:

And finally, from South Dakota, this unforgettable image:

All together, it amounts to the most beautifully decorated Mother’s Day in modern history (that is, if it’s not an all-time record).

There’s plenty more to be said about the unprecedented worldwide auroras, which is generating tons of discussion and astonishing conspiracy theories galore. But we’ll save that discussion for next week.

🔥🔥 Next, a catastrophic Mother’s Day fail. In the tiny universe of its pea-brained mind, the Washington Post showed yesterday it is deeply confusedabout the birds and the bees. I blame the public schools. Yesterday, the paper thought it would be a good idea for Mother’s Day to feature this tragically pinheaded op-ed, written by a man:

This is a great example of what the kids call a “self-own.” Hey! Dummies! The answer is right in the headline! Your daughter wants a mother.

I’m old enough to remember when an article like this would have had the feminists marching on Washington wearing suggestively-shaped crocheted hats.

The tale described in the op-ed is painful to read. The three-year-old daughter — who came into the family through historically illegal baby-buying, I mean surrogacy — demonstrated more common sense in her perfectly normal childish magical thinking than either of the two men now pretending that one of them is “mommy.”  At least according to the author, at three years old, the little girl insisted the men use grammatically-correct pronouns when referring to “mommy,” even though Richard, the author, missed the irony completely.

In his sanity-defying conclusion, which briefly scraped the bottom of his cerebellum, Richard — let’s be honest, a maniac — was ‘grateful’ for his own magical thinking, that twisted his toddler’s normal wishes to fit his gender-bending, sexually-liberated world view:

And so, on this Mother’s Day, I am filled with gratitude — to my wise and spirited daughter, for challenging me to rethink labels that I never imagined I would question, and to my husband, for being the best she-mother a kid could ever have.

It must have been a typo. He must have meant, He- mother.  Not she-mother.

I couldn’t get into the comments, lacking a WaPo subscription, which I am currently refusing on principle. It’s enough that I link their silly stories. But I bet those comments are extremely entertaining.

💉💉 In a recent Jimmy Dore interview, standout covid doc Dr. Pierre Kory seemed to be thinking right along my lines. He threw down the pill gauntlet: “I wouldn’t take anything new promoted out of the pharmaceutical industry.”

CLIP: Dr. Pierre Kory says he’s not taking new drugs till he sees how they work for himself (1:15).

Our wholly captured drug regulatory system is irretrievably broken. I told Michelle two years ago that, unless I’m dying and have no other choice, I’m not taking any drug approved after the year 2000. Kory seems to agree:

Dr. Pierre Kory: “At this point, having studied the pharmaceutical industry, seeing literally the crimes that they did in Covid and the crimes all over the place. I mean, the war on Ivermectin, the war on hydroxychloroquine, all of the early treatment suppressed drugs, the promotion of ineffective medicines. I mean Paxlovid doesn’t work, Molnupiravir doesn’t work. Remdesivir is toxic and doesn’t work. I mean, they haven’t stopped. My answer then would be: Ok, I’ll take their medicines. But they better be old and tested and used in millions over years before I’ll try one. I will not try anything new out of that place. I’ll let people all the pro pharma, you know, rah rah thank you Pfizer for all you’ve done for us. Let them take those medicines and I’ll just see how they do. And when I think that they’re doing okay, I’ll be like: All right, maybe I’ll try this one. I wouldn’t take anything new promoted out of the pharmaceutical industry. Unless I had a disease that I was dying, they purported to, you know, that would save me. Maybe in that desperate situation, I consider a new pharmaceutical product…The war on Repurposed Drugs has been going on for decades. This is the Achilles heel of the pharmaceutical industry. They need you to buy their their pricey patented pipeline pharmaceutical, period. Source: The Jimmy Dore Show (Rumble)

It’s a wise philosophy that I roundly endorse, absent mandates, of course.

This seems like a good place to mention this week’s Pfizer news. Here comes another one! From Bloomberg, this week:

I might have to back up my cutoff date. Zantac, developed by GlaxoSmithKline, was approved by the FDA as a “safe and effective” prescription drug in 1983, then again in 1996, when it was approved as a “safe and effective” over-the-counter heartburn treatment. Sanofi — the sucker who last bought the drug — acquired it in 2017, but recalled it in 2019, a month after an independent lab released tests showing a likely carcinogen (NDMA) in the drug and its generics.

Thanks a lot, FDA.

Pfizer squatted in Zantac’s ownership chain for several interim years, as the dangerous, cancer-causing, but highly profitable heartburn drug was passed around the usual suspects.

Only after the voluntary recall in 2020, only then did the FDA finally confirm the lab’s findings, and Zantac was re-released under a new formula omitting the NDMA.

So.

🔥 Enjoy this clip from 50’s television (re-run in the 80’s), demonstrating the critical importance of childhood self-esteem, or rather, the critical non-importance of childhood self-esteem, that is before the left got hold of the public school system. In those days, Mr. Wizard didn’t gaslight the kids:

CLIP: teaching without goofy self-esteem (1:17).

In case you are unfamiliar, here’s how Wikipedia described the show:

Author Marcel LaFollette says of the program, “It enjoyed consistent praise, awards, and high ratings throughout its history. At its peak, Watch Mr. Wizard drew audiences in the millions, but its impact was far wider. By 1956, it had prompted the establishment of more than five thousand Mr. Wizard science clubs, with an estimated membership greater than one hundred thousand.”

So again!

Granted, it’s not the Marines Over Iwo Jima, but I’ll end today’s truncated post with this iconic 2024 image, proving that at least some American moms are still doing terrific parenting:

Great work, mothers!

Enjoy a marvelous Mother’s Day, and a Blessed Sunday! Get back here tomorrow for the latest roundup of all the news you need to know.
