I'm glad you broke out of the tailspin and are feeling better. I admit that I hoped that the "YUGE victory" was that the dastardly pro-scamdemic organization belatedly came crawling back to admit that you were right and they were wrong, and to beg forgiveness.

Of course, that would be too much to expect. And at least you've got your health, which is generally considered to be The Most Important Thing. ๐Ÿ˜‰

___________________________________________________

The Pelosi "hammer-attack intruder" episode gives me the fantods. For me, it's one of those controversial open questions that eventually are nominally "resolved", but not in a way that is really satisfying-- at least not to hardened skeptics like Your Humble Commenter. ๐Ÿคจ

I have long known that whenever a well-connected person or organization, especially a political person or organization, gets caught in some sordid contretemps, a diverse cadre of "fixers" is mobilized to put an innocuous, or less sensational, spin on the initial reports. The Pelosi family, currently prospering servants of Mammon, have both the money and power to sanitize their ugly lapses. ๐Ÿ‘ฟ ๐Ÿ’ฐ

Still, I foolishly hoped that the criminal trial would expose the original elements of the "attack" that didn't add up, to an extent that disrupted the usual cover-up.

I admit I haven't followed the story closely, but it seems as if the whitewashed narrative has prevailed: the utterly creepy Paul Pelosi was an entirely innocent victim of a home invasion and a savage assault by a classic deranged Lone Nut. The "proof", as with the January 6th "insurrectionists", is that the alleged perp was convicted and has been given a draconian sentence. This puts the official narrative of his criminal behavior beyond question. (FWIW, I'm not equating Pelosi's peculiar alleged attacker with the hapless and substantially innocent "insurrectionists".)

It might be the persistence of my stubborn confirmation bias, but I still ain't buying it. ๐Ÿ˜

On a trivial Grammar Nanny note: I always use the chronological sort order for comments threads; for me, it's like preferring to sit facing front on public transit. "Newest first" feels like facing backwards, and I despise the popularity contest "best" sort order.

I share this digressive point of order only to note that recently, Substack inexplicably changed the "Chronological" label to "Oldest First". Maybe they explained why somewhere, but I wonder if it's another manifestation of The Dumbing of Amerika. That is, was the problem that too many readers were perplexed and confused by "chronological", since they didn't know what it meant? Enquiring minds want to know! ๐Ÿค”

That would be a YUGE victory because it would have meant my former comrade awoke from their Covid Coma. Thanks, ORT.

I really wish you would stop pairing LGB with TQ++++++ as a liberal cause. It is the most regressive nonsense that I've seen in my lifetime. Of course, I realize that "liberal" and "progressive" and "conservative" mean nothing anymore.

I had to click through all my links for where I did that, and I found this: "As a liberal SF citizen, of course Nancy is pro-choice and pro-LGBTQ causes and against Trump;"

Is what I wrote incorrect? I am DERIDING her. Not support TQ, or liberals. See?

I understand you are deriding her. It's the pairing that bothers me. I'm not a liberal. I am pro-choice. I am anti-TQ. Trump/Biden...all puppets. Oh, well, perhaps I'm still misinterpreting you....

So if I know that liberals and idiots like Nancy Pelosi are all about the LGBTQ++++, and I call them out on their hypocrisy, that means I am on board with the LGBTQ++++ b.s.? I think you follow me more than that. Just because I don't believe in Santa Claus, does that mean that Santa Claus isn't a thing? LGBTQ ++++ is a thing. I can't call it out without writing about it. I think you follow me closely enough to know that I am not a liberal and I (and my gay young friend Dakotah) have spoken about this very critically. However, things can't be criticized or exposed unless we talk about it. Thanks for your clarification, but we have no disagreement.

Have you looked at this documentary Paolo? It's old... (So am I!)

https://youtu.be/2pjkC71exKU

I sent it to a severely obese 74 year old man. The previous afternoon, I'd watched as he punctured 2 insulin shots into his stomach before a meal. First right, then left side, right through an ill fitting golf shirt.

Watched as he then hoisted himself from his seat to hit the men's room before an early bird dinner session.

After our meal was served: I watched as his hands shook so badly he could not manage to cut his food or navigate bites into his mouth.

I inquired, because I'm a curious old cat, what the shaking was due to?

He looked at me quizzically and said his hands always shake. They've always shook.

Me: Really? What does your doctor say?

Him: His doctor has never witnessed it, so? He doesn't "know" or say anything.

Anyway. Got through dinner and the 30 kilometer ride back to my town despite the fact that he drove dangerously. (Wildly.)

After texting him a link to this documentary he responded with "Has anyone ever told you you're a nag?"

Me: Yes. But not anyone I still communicate with.

Note to self: NO MORE BLIND DATES.

"Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days." I watched that documentary when it was first released.

I hope the producers can do a follow up:

"Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days: Where are they now?"

PS: My son works as support staff for group homes run by this organization. He loves his job.

I sure couldn't do it. (I have an aversion to needles, since childhood.) I may be required to cure myself of several aversions, l in future.

His adult clients are all non-verbal, non-ambulatory, cannot swallow, are fed and medicated through stomach tubes, and must be suctioned, cleaned and diapered, etc.

My son was 24 years old when he was Pfizered during the latter half of 2021.

Currently suffering with 2 autoimmune diseases. Anxiety and depression.

"Doctors are stumped."

He has gained 70 pounds since those 2 Pfizer injections, and continues to gain weight.

Some weight gain csn be attributed to all the medications he's taking. Anxiously awaiting an MRI next month. (Canadian Health Care System...)

He self-medicates with pot.

Food, including sugary junk food, legal pot, video games, and his very beloved once feral cat, are his solace.

I'm researching CURES. ๐Ÿ˜ฅ He is now 27.

He has placed his faith in "specialists" after being misdiagnosed by doctor after doctor, from the jump.

My son is taking an anti-depressant, an anti-inflammatory drug to calm his out of control Necrotizing eye disease, and is self administering subcutaneous injections of an immunosuppressant cancer chemo drug to suppress whatever's been forever chewing on his eyes and spine until he can't stand it.

I will access a cure. Somehow. Not a panacea. Not a band-aid. A cure.
