Protect your girls: “Pull your kids from sports games”

Posted on December 18, 2024 by | 1 comment

Hopefully common sense will return on January 20, 2025, and girls will not be forced to play sports against men nor have to share locker room spaces with them

Unfortunately, it’s too late for Payton McNabb, who was left with serious brain damage afte she was knocked out by a transgender volleyball player.

Payton McNabb was 17 when a ball spiked by a trans opponent with force struck her in the face, threw her to the ground and left her unconscious while she played a volleyball match in September 2022. Watch:

Her parents are speaking out after Payton was left with brain damage and paralysis on her right side, which ended her dreams of getting a volleyball college scholarship and has made it difficult to walk without falling.

In the hopes of raising awareness about the competitive advantage from biologically male transgender athletes can have, Payton and her parents are sharing their story in the new documentary ‘Kill Shot: How Payton McNabb Turned Tragedy Into Triumph’. From the Daily Mail:

“In a preview of the film, Payton’s parents Pamela and Daniel McNabb speak for the first time of the guilt and frustration they felt as a result of their daughter’s life-altering incident. 

Detailing the moment she received a call informing her of her daughter’s injuries, Pamela said: ‘My first thought was, is she going to be ok? And then honestly my second- I was mad. I was furious, because we all knew this was going to happen. Did I think it would happen to my child? No. But we all knew. Everybody talked about it. Everybody knew something was going to happen.’

‘I would never, ever let her play today if I knew what I know now,’ Pamela also said in the documentary.”

Read the whole story here. And watch the parents here:

President-elect Trump will likely revert back to the Title IX rules that were in place during his first term, protecting women’s sports. Even diehard blue Washington State is proposing a separate “open” division for transgender athletes to compete.

Make Common Sense Great Again!

Trump broke them: Antifa model says she’s going to evict parents from home after they voted for Trump

Posted on November 13, 2024 by | 6 comments

The left are losing it over the majority of Americans voting to re-elect Trump.

While we watched the economy tank, inflation rise, illegals and fentanyl pour across our unprotected border under the Biden/Harris administration, the media had progressives believe that Project 2025 (supposedly Trump’s plan) is going to end the USA as they know it.

Legacy media scared women so much they now want to disown anyone who didn’t vote their way – including their parents. From the Daily Mail:

Antifa model says she’s going to evict parents from home after they voted for Donald Trump

“An ‘anti-fascist’ OnlyFans model says she’s planning on evicting her parents after they voted for Donald Trump. Merrick DeVille went viral on X after she shared that she no longer wants a relationship with her MAGA parents in the wake of Trump’s election win last week. 

‘My parents are downstairs right now – in the house I moved us into and whose bills I pay, watching TV,’ the avowed socialist wrote on X on Monday.

‘They happily voted for Trump. I don’t know how to be anything other than angry. 6 more months on the lease and every day already I am more angry.’

DeVille, who lives in Austin, Texas, claimed her parents’ vote was an attack on her, saying it was ‘like they spat in her face.’

‘They know I have extensive reproductive health issues. They know access to BC (birth control) is the only thing between me and regular hospital visits. They know Trump is a fascist, they don’t even like him,’ she added. ‘They voted for him anyway.’

After realizing her post had gone viral, DeVille thanked supporters and then spoke to the ‘people suggesting [she is] a controlling monster for being upset that [her] parents just voted to make [her] job illegal and hurt my healthcare.’

DeVille then appeared to backtrack, claiming her parents have other living options and would not be left on the street when she kicks them out. ‘I don’t know what I’m going to do yet,’ she wrote.”

Girl, you better get some mental healthcare services. One cannot go through life with so much hate. And one day honey, your parents are going to be gone. Love them (and their right to vote as they see fit) while you have such little precious time in this life with them.

Coping strategy? Psychiatrist tells dems to disown Trump-voting family members

Posted on November 12, 2024 by | 4 comments

This sounds perfectly normal and healthy. Not.

From Daily Mail:

“A Yale psychiatrist told MSNBC host Joy Reid that it’s fine to disown family members who voted for Trump.  

Dr. Amanda Calhoun, a child psychiatry fellow at the Ivy league school, made the comments during an interview on Reid’s show The Reid Out Friday, while discussing coping strategies for people upset by Trump’s election win. 

‘There is a societal norm that if somebody is your family that they are entitled to your time and I think the answer is absolutely not,’ Calhoun said.

‘So if you are going into a situation where you have family members, where you have close friends, who you know have voted in ways that are against you, against your livelihood, it’s completely fine to not be around those people and to tell them why. ‘To say, “I have a problem with the way that you voted because it went against my very livelihood and I’m not going to be around for this holiday. I have to take space for me.’

Reid had asked the psychiatrist for advise on how to interact with Trump supporters.

‘If you are an LGBTQ person and you know someone in your family voted essentially against your rights, or you’re a woman knowing, you know, that this man was calling people the b word,’ Reid said.

‘JD Vance was literally calling Kamala Harris “the trash.” He said, “We’re going to take out the trash.”

‘I know a lot of black women were incredibly triggered by that.’

Calhoun previously made headlines last year when she said doctors should be forced to wear body cameras to catch the racist ones.”

Trump has broken them. All of ’em.

Please pray for Brian Heinz

Posted on November 9, 2024 by | 14 comments

Our brother-in-Christ, Brian Heinz, a longtime member of this blog and its predecessor (FOTM), was diagnosed with Stage 3 lung cancer. He desperately needs our prayers.

This is what he wrote in a comment:

I could use prayer if anyone can supply found out I have lung cancer Stage 3 C and two lymphomas from it as well doing chemo and radiation together to see if they can stop it. But any prayers would be appreciated thank you in advance.

This is my favorite prayer, a plea to our Lord, Jesus the Christ, for His mercy:

Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us. That in difficult moments, we might not despair, nor become despondent, but with great confidence, submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is love and mercy itself.

May Our Lord have mercy on our brother, Brian Heinz, and may He comfort Brian in his time of affliction, surround him with Your light, and heal him of his cancer and restore him to full health. Amen.

Please remember Brian in your daily prayers, and envelope him with your love.

Trudeau’s Canada: Citizens with long-term pain claim it’s easier to get euthanasia

Posted on June 26, 2024 by | 6 comments

This will come as no surprise…

Canada legalized euthanasia in 2016 through their Medical Assistance in Dying  (MAID) program. There were 13,241 MAID deaths reported in Canada in 2022, a thirty percent increase from 2021.

If you thought socialized medicine was bad before legalized euthanasia, take a look at what patients in Canada now have to deal with:

Canadians living with agonizing pain slam the ‘unintelligible’ double standard that leaves them to suffer

From The Daily Mail:

“Canada has long faced criticism for its ultra-permissive euthanasia system, with 4.1 percent of all deaths aided by doctors.

Now, it faces fresh outrage from woefully sick people who say it’s easier to get lethal injections than it is to access the ‘medicine’ they need.

In two bombshell moments this month, sufferers of cognitive problems said they’d struggled to get the ‘magic mushroom’ cures that ease their suffering.

Meanwhile, they bemoaned how euthanasia is only getting easier to access.

Noted veteran Kelsi Sheren went public with a call for easier access to plant therapies for traumatized ex-combatants. ‘Why is it that we can access death care, but we can’t access a genuine treatment that can help us become a functioning healthy, taxpaying part of society?’ said Sheren. 

Sheren is CEO of Brass and Unity, a jewelry firm that works to fight high suicide rates among veterans.

Sheren had to hire lawyers, stump up cash and wait months to get the treatment she needed under a special program, she said. All the while, fellow veterans like her were offered MAiD as a way to end their suffering, she adds.

Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program has gone off the rails, she says. ‘We have a predatory behavior of telling individuals that they can’t heal, they can’t get better, and the solution to their problems is death,’ she told True North.

Veterans frequently complain about the shortcomings of state care, which typically involves talk therapy to help ‘wounded warrior’ PTSD sufferers, as well as drugs to fight anxiety and depression.

Restrictions on the drugs are increasingly called into question in a country where assisted suicides become routine.

“It is crazy that people who served our country are being offered death rather than treatment to live,” said Alex Schadenberg, from the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition.”

It’s best to stay healthy as long as you can. Between socialized medicine and the “wokeness” infecting healthcare professionals and institutions, no  one is going to have the best interest in your health.

Not body positive: Obesity a cause of Bell’s Palsy?

Posted on June 25, 2024 by | 2 comments

Pushing a narrative that is a lie.

Progessives and the media today, in an effort to find more “victims,” like to promote “body positivity,” aka obesity. You can find “fat influencers” all over social media and there are plenty of reality-based tv shows about overweight people.

There is nothing, absolutely nothing, “positive” about obesity. The consequences of being overweight include diabetes and high blood pressure, among many other diseases.

Do you know what else you may be subject to if you are obese ? Bell’s palsy. Studies have shown that being overweight and obesity are also associated with increased risk of Bell´s palsy in children.

Although there is no known cause of Bell’s Palsy, you have greater chance of having it if you have the following:

  • Diabetes
  • A respiratory infection, such as a cold or the flu
  • An autoimmune disease
  • High blood pressure
  • Obesity

In an effort to follow the victimhood trend, an advocate for “body positivity” who recently developed Bell’s Palsy is blaming the stress and anxiety of her national attention as the cause of her infliction.

From The Daily Mail:

Plus-sized Miss Alabama reveals shock health update caused by ‘stress and anxiety’ from vicious trolls

“A plus-size beauty queen has revealed she’s got Bell’s Palsy due to the stress inflicted by trolls who attacked her appearance.  Sara Milliken, 23, was harassed by online bullies who mocked her weight and said she did not deserve the title of Miss National American Alabama.

She gave an update on Sunday night, sharing how the national attention has taken a toll on her health and left her afraid to be seen in public.

Sara wrote: ‘With my story blowing up the way it did I felt an immense amount of stress and anxiety. I didn’t even want to walk into a store or pump my gas because it just felt like the entire was talking about me.

‘Between that and preparing for a national pageant while just trying to be Sara… I ended up with a case of Bell’s Palsy. While there is no way to know for sure what caused it we feel certain that it was caused by the stress I have been experiencing.‘

Sara, who made national headlines with her win, added that not being able to fully smile has added to her mental plight. ‘My smile is something I’ve always been proud of. I love smiling at people because you never know if your smile is the only one they see today. Overall, I’m a very smiley person. I’ve even joked that I have a resting smile face.

‘Having this taken away from me has been a bit of a mental battle. But I’m happy to report mentally I have been feeling better and coming to terms with things!”

Read the whole article here.

If you are going to put yourself on the national platform (such as a national beauty contest) and be active on social media as an “advocate for body positivity,” you’d best put on your big girl panties. And for the sake of your life, work to make them little girl panties.

And for the sake of little girls and young women, stop the false narrative of body positivity through obesity! Ask any doctor and they’ll tell you that there is nothing positive about obesity.

Biden, Senile-in-Chief, is deteriorating before our eyes

Posted on June 19, 2024 by | 3 comments

Joe Biden wanders off at 2024 G7 Summit

That Democrats, including Hollyweirdos like George Clooney, Julia Roberts, and Barbra Streisand who raised $28 million to reelect Biden in a recent fundraiser, still support and fund this obviously senile man, goes to show that Democrats will vote for the Devil himself rather than for a Republican.

How to test if you have CKM syndrome

Posted on June 19, 2024 by | 4 comments

CKM: cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome

From AARP, June 13, 2024:

The American Heart Association says 1 in 3 U.S. adults have three or more risk factors for CKM syndrome, and it appears most adults are affected to some degree. In fact, a recent study published in the journal JAMA suggests nearly 90 percent of U.S. adults have some stage of CKM syndrome — a reflection of risk factors from being overweight to having chronic conditions like diabetes.…

Chiadi Ndumele, an associate professor of medicine and director of obesity and cardiometabolic research at Johns Hopkins University, says CKM syndrome is “a really potent driver” of premature deaths, including from heart disease. Cardiovascular deaths — once on the decline — are now increasing, evidence suggests. “This is thought to be all secondary to CKM syndrome,” says Ndumele, who coauthored the AHA advisory.

The causes and effects of CKM syndrome are wide-ranging. It’s not a simple flowchart but more of a spiraling storm — such as when obesity, a major cause of kidney disease, leads to a cascade of metabolic issues.

“When a kidney is damaged, by diabetes per se, or hypertension in particular, it produces a number of other abnormalities that affect the whole body — particularly the cardiovascular system,” says Katherine Tuttle, , professor of medicine in the division of nephrology at the University of Washington School of Medicine, and a coauthor of the AHA advisory. “It causes inflammation, it raises blood pressure, it makes people more resistant to insulin, it makes the lipid disorders worse.”

In turn, already high cholesterol levels can rise further; increasing insulin resistance inhibits the body’s ability to regulate blood sugar; and other changes take place — like kidney-disease-related calcium buildup in arteries\. Taken together, all these factors make circulation problems worse, which Tuttle says accelerates atherosclerosis, involving hardening and narrowing of the arteries, and heart failure….

For people who have some risk factors but don’t yet have heart or kidney disease, one of the biggest things is incorporating lifestyle changes, Aggarwal says, like exercising 150 minutes a week. That can help with losing weight and managing or preventing chronic conditions like diabetes.

For those who do have more advanced risks related to everything from diabetes to high cholesterol, experts recommend talking to your doctor about whether medications could help, in addition to lifestyle changes.

The American Heart Assocation has an online calculator to predict your risk of cardiovascular disease. Click here.

Note: You will need the numbers for your total cholesterol, HDL, SBP (systolic blood pressure), BMI, and eGFR (overall index of kidney function). To calculate your eGFR, go here.

Obese activist now making more demands on businesses

Posted on June 5, 2024 by | 6 comments

Progressives today have abandoned all sense of personal responsibility in favor of victimhood. Case in point: Plus-size activist Jae Bae.

Bossy fat activist Jae Bae

Not content to demand that airlines provide extra free seats for obese fliers, she’s now demanding that Uber and Lyft ride-share service companies provide seat belt extenders for plus-size passengers. From the Daily Mail:

“Every time I use a ride share, I’m forced to go without a seatbelt because no belt extenders are available. This is a common issue for many plus-size individuals,’ she wrote in the caption of the video.

Chaney wrote that she always brings a universal seatbelt extender with her on rides, but they often don’t work despite being advertised as ‘universal.’

She added that companies such as Uber and Lyft should reimburse drivers for the cost of seatbelt extenders, which go for as low as $12 on Amazon.

‘If each driver carried at least one seatbelt extender specifically fitted for their vehicle, this problem could be eliminated. Safety for all sizes SHOULD NOT be optional,’ she concluded.”

Here’s my favorite part of the story: “She continued: ‘This isn’t just inconvenient—it’s unsafe. It should be mandatory for ride shares to provide at least one seatbelt extender per vehicle.”

Read the whole story here.

You know what’s unsafe, Jae Bae? Your obesity.

Maybe it should be mandatory that Jae Bae take a little personal responsibility for her own actions.
