Isn’t it Ironic?

Uncategorized 9 Minutes

Yup, American Freedom, made in China IS ironic.  So are the following stories concerning ironic deaths.

‘GRIZZLY MAN’ EATEN BY BEAR

Timothy Treadwell loved bears. The problem is, bears didn’t love him nearly so much.  Blonde-haired and a trifle feminine, young Timmy loved animals as a boy, then overdosed on heroin as a young man, and subsequently devoted his adult life to living among bears. Every summer for 13 years he’d have a bush pilot drop him off amid the savage wilderness of Alaska’s Katmai National Park to live among the giant grizzlies. He never got too close to them, but he made up names for them and sang songs for them and filmed them and claimed he loved them far more than he loved filthy humans and their stupid so-called “civilization.” But of course, it was the end of the 13th year that would prove unlucky for the rabid bear enthusiast.

Timothy thought he understood bears. What he clearly failed to understand is that bears are highly capable of killing him, not to mention frequently more than willing to do so.  He stayed a week later than normal as the summer of 2003 started crashing into the Alaskan fall. During his final days, while he was camping out with his reputed girlfriend Amie Huguenard, he mentioned seeing a new bear that for some reason he didn’t quite trust. Perhaps it was this new interloping brown bear that devoured Timothy and Amie on that fateful autumn morning as they screamed in vain. Treadwell’s camera recorded the sound but not the video because the lens cap was still attached.  German director Werner Herzog turned Timothy’s tragically ironic story into the brilliant 2006 documentary Grizzly Man. In the film, Herzog listens to the death audio on headphones and decides that not only shouldn’t it be included in the film, the tape should be destroyed.

MAN DROWNS AT POOL PARTY OF 100+ LIFEGUARDS

As the summer of 1985 drew to an end, the New Orleans Recreation Department was so proud that there were no drownings that season at the city’s swimming pools, they threw a huge poolside party for about 100 lifeguards, 100 more guests, and even four active lifeguards who were assigned to guard the pool and prevent something embarrassing from happening—like, you know, someone drowning to death. But the revelry continued for hours while 31-year-old Jerome Moody, a party guest but not himself a lifeguard, was lying lifeless at the pool’s bottom. His body wasn’t discovered until the party started winding down.

OWNER OF SEGWAY COMPANY DRIVES SEGWAY OFF A CLIFF

Segways, those annoying and inscrutable electronic sideways skateboard/pogo-stick self-propulsion “Human Transporter” devices that I must confess scare the shit out of me for reasons I cannot quite articulate, have never been more ironically tragic than on that day in 2010 when British investor Jimi Heselden, who’d purchased the company earlier that year, careened a Segway test model off the road and down an 80-foot cliff to his death. A coroner ruled that Heselden had died of “multiple blunt force injuries of the chest and spine consistent with a fall whilst riding a gyrobike.”

PRISONER ESCAPES ELECTRIC CHAIR, ACCIDENTALLY ELECTROCUTES HIMSELF
After being convicted of sexual assault and murder, Michael Anderson Godwin was sentenced to death in 1983, which in South Carolina during the 1980s was administered via the electric chair. He successfully appealed his sentence and had it changed to life imprisonment. One night while sitting naked on a wet metal toilet and wearing headphones that were connected to his TV, he bit into a wire and accidentally zapped himself to death on his own makeshift prison-cell electric chair.

WOMAN AWAKES IN COFFIN, PANICS AND DIES OF HEART ATTACK

Fagilyu Mukhametzyanov—no, I don’t know how to pronounce it, either, and probably like you, my eyes just sort of skip over names that complicated—was a Russian woman whom doctors had declared dead in June of 2012. But during an open-casket wake, she awoke screaming in panic. She was rushed to a local hospital, where physicians declared she’d died of a heart attack.

SLEEP RESEARCHER FALLS ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL

Eugene Aserinsky is considered one of the pioneers of modern sleep research and is most famous for discovering REM (rapid-eye movement) sleep in 1953. Forty-five years later he slammed his car into a tree north of San Diego. It is suspected that he had fallen asleep while driving.

JOGGING GURU DIES WHILE JOGGING

With his cereal commercials and best-selling books such as The Complete Book of Running, Jim Fixx was the inescapable face of the 1970s’ jogging revolution. But in 1984 he fell down dead of a heart attack while performing the act that made him famous. An autopsy revealed one of Fixx’s coronary arteries was 95% blocked, while another was 80% clogged and still another was crammed with 70% fatty plaque.

ANTI-SEATBELT ADVOCATE KILLED IN CAR ACCIDENT
A Nebraska man named Derek Kieper was so passionate about the idea that seat-belt laws violated his sacred individual liberties, he wrote an opinion column about it. Less than four months later, he died in a car accident. Two of his friends in the car survived. They were wearing seatbelts.

ANTI-HELMET-LAW ADVOCATE DIES FROM MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT HEAD INJURY

While proudly riding his roaring Harley down the road with his un-helmeted head exposed to the whistling winds of freedom during a 2011 protest ride against helmet laws, New York biker Philip Contos was flung over his handlebars and onto the sidewalk, where he died of a fatal head injury. A State Trooper claimed that a medical examiner told him Contos would have lived if only he’d been wearing a helmet.

DEATH ROW INMATE ESCAPES, IS BEATEN TO DEATH THAT NIGHT IN A BAR FIGHT

Troy Leon Gregg was a plucky and wily and crafty convicted murderer who along with three other Death Row inmates managed to escape the Georgia State Prison in Reidsville in 1980 one day before Gregg was to be put to death. Unfortunately, that night Greg was beaten to death during a bar fight in North Carolina.

BEACH BOY DROWNS

Of the five Beach Boys, only drummer Dennis Wilson could legitimately claim the name, for he was the only surfer in the bunch. Late one afternoon in 1983 he drunkenly went diving in Marina Del Rey to fetch some items he’d tossed overboard his yacht a few years earlier. He drowned to death, and the US Coast Guard buried his body at sea.

TV HOST KILLED IN THE OCEAN WHILE FILMING ‘OCEAN’S DEADLIEST’

Steve “The Crocodile Hunter” Irwin was a charismatic, khaki-wearing, danger-seeking Aussie who gained infamy by pressing his luck with all manner of ungodly beasts. His luck ran out in September 2006 while filming an episode of Ocean’s Deadliest in the Great Barrier Reef. An eight-foot-wide stingray struck him several hundred times with its tail spine. It pierced his heart and he bled to death.

LAWYER ACQUITS HIS DEFENDANT BY SHOOTING HIMSELF TO DEATH IN COURT

Clement Vallandigham was a valiant and noble Ohio lawyer who in 1871 defended a man named Thomas McGehan on murder charges. Vallandigham’s theory was that the victim had actually shot himself while in a kneeling position. To demonstrate that this was physically possible, Vallandigham recreated the event in the courtroom using a pistol he thought was unloaded. To his extremely brief dismay, it was loaded, and he accidentally shot himself to death, proving his legal theory and leading to his client’s acquittal.

MAN ‘PROVES’ GLASS WINDOW IS UNBREAKABLE BY FALLING THROUGH IT TO HIS DEATH

From most accounts, Garry Hoy was a brash, confident Toronto lawyer—perhaps too brash. One day in July 1993, as he had allegedly demonstrated so many times before, he showed a group of visitors that the glass window in his 24th-floor office was unbreakable by running headlong into it. Unfortunately, this time the window popped out of its frame and Hoy fell to his death in an act of autodefenestration. The glass, however, did not break, so technically he proved his point. But at what cost?

SHIP CAPTAIN KILLED BY A CANNON THAT WAS FIRING IN HIS HONOR

In the salty old year of 1794 somewhere off the Hawaiian islands, Captain John Kendrick‘s ship the Washington fired a thirteen-gun salute at another ship called the Jackal, which saluted back. Unfortunately, one of their cannons was actually loaded with grapeshot, killing Kendrick as he sat at his table on deck.

RADIATION PIONEER DIES OF RADIATION

Madame Curie is the first woman to ever win a Nobel Prize and is still the only woman to ever win it twice. She discovered polonium and radium but unfortunately spent so much time dabbling in radioactive materials that she fatally succumbed to aplastic anemia.

SNAKE HANDLER DIES OF SNAKEBITE

The Gospel of Mark clearly states that believers in Christ will be able to “pick up serpents” without being harmed, and the almost entirely Caucasian Pentecostal phenomenon of snake-handling is perhaps most vibrant in the tiny, beautiful state of West Virginia. Even though Mack Wolford‘s father had died from picking up serpents, Mack forged ahead to prove his faith in the Lord. After surviving three bites on three separate occasions, he fell dead from a fatal rattlesnake bite in May of 2012.

OVEN REPAIRMAN ROASTS TO DEATH IN OVEN

Two days before Christmas in 2010, a 54-year-old Liverpudlian named Alan Cattarall entered a giant industrial oven that baked plastic at 280 degrees to make kayaks. He sought only to make a minor repair, but the oven’s operator—his future son-in-law, Mark Francis—accidentally locked him in and flipped on the switch. While burning to death, Cattarall screamed for help but the sounds were muffled by the factory’s industrial noises.

GRANDSON OF GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE SUICIDE-BARRIER ADVOCATE JUMPS TO HIS DEATH FROM GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE

As a longtime member of the board of directors for San Francisco’s Golden Gate district, John Moylan had agitated tirelessly to erect suicide barriers on the Golden Gate Bridge, which to date has been the site of at least 1,600 suicides. In 2014—six years after the barriers were erected—Moylan’s grandson Sean successfully evaded the barriers and jumped to his death from the bridge.

WOMAN DIES DURING ‘DYING IN CONSCIOUSNESS’ SEMINAR

In 2011, a 35-year-old Canadian woman named Chantal Lavigne participated in a “detoxification” seminar called “Dying in Consciousness” that involved her being daubed in mud, wrapped up in plastic, swaddled in blankets, and having her head placed in a cardboard box for nine hours. She wound up being “cooked to death” after her body temperature raised to 105 degrees Fahrenheit.

HIS FATHER SHOT HIM WITH THE GUN HE BOUGHT TO PROTECT HIS FATHER

Soul singer Marvin Gaye possessed a rare talent, but he also hailed from a family that was unusually dysfunctional. Having developed extreme paranoia due to insufflating an estimated one million dollars’ worth of cocaine, Gaye took to wearing a bulletproof vest onstage and surrounding himself with armed bodyguards. For Christmas 1983 he gave his father a .38 pistol, ostensibly to protect himself from those who sought to prey upon the Gaye family fortune. Four months later after a violent domestic scuffle, his father used that pistol to fatally shoot his son.

 HEALTH-FOOD PIONEER DIES ON LIVE TV

Jerome Irving Rodale earned a fortune as the publisher of numerous health-food books and Prevention magazine. During a taping of The Dick Cavett Show that never aired, the 72-year-old Rodale allegedly told the host that “I never felt better in my life” and that he intended to live to 100. But he died of a heart attack while the show was taping.

PRO-DRUNK-DRIVING COMEDIAN KILLED BY DRUNK DRIVER

Ex-preacher Sam Kinison built a huge following in the late 1980s as the “screaming comedian.” One of his routines involved a comic defense of drunk driving:

We don’t WANT to drink and drive.…But there’s no other way to get the fucking CAR back to the HOUSE!! How are we supposed to get fucking home?

In April 1992—less than a week after marrying his third wife and while driving to Nevada for a show—Kinison was killed by a 17-year-old drunk driver.

Psycho Body Double Killed in Shower

Myra Davis, whose professional acting name was Myra Jones, was involved in the production of Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho. She served as a stand-in for Janet Leigh, the woman who (spoiler alert for anyone who was born less than five years ago) was killed in the famous shower scene to the horrific, screechy strings.

In 1988, she was raped and killed by a man who was so obsessed with Psycho’s famous shower scene that he wanted to re-enact it upon Janet Leigh’s body double. Unfortunately for Myra Davis, the producers of the film had kept such a tight lip on how they shot the scene and which actresses they used that the information the killer gleaned over the years was skewed.

Davis never appeared in the shower scene. It was another actress, Marli Renfro, who served as Leigh’s body double and subsequently the body that audiences and the killer saw stab over and over again on the big screen. Not only was she killed in the same way someone was in the movie she was most famous for, but she wasn’t even IN the scene the killer was trying to recreate.

    Herschel Walker hits back after Obama attack and calls himself ‘a warrior for God’

    “”President Obama was here last night. He said I’m a celebrity. He got that one wrong, didn’t he? I’m not a celebrity. I’m a warrior for God. He got something else wrong, too.

    Remember two years ago he told us to vote for Joe Biden, didn’t he? He got that one wrong, did he not? He’s lost twice to Georgia already, hasn’t he, so I think he probably needs to sit this one out,” Walker said in a statement.

    “I’m sorry to tell former President Obama, I’m sorry, I’m gonna pray for him. I’m gonna pray for him because he needs some help. He needs some help because he got with the wrong horse. Senator Warnock is the wrong horse. You know he can’t do the job, and it’s time for him to leave. So don’t let the door hit your butt as you walk out of there.””

    Kroger had to pay $180,000 to workers who were fired after they wouldn’t wear LQBTQ+ pride symbols

    Kroger has to pay $180,000 to two former employees who were fired after they refused to wear a company apron with a phrase that they considered to be an LGBTQ+ symbol after a lawsuit.

    On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Lee Rodofsky, who was appointed by former President Donald Trump in July 2019, ordered Kroger Limited Partnership to pay $180,000 to Rickerd and Lawson and “provide reasonable accommodations to employees who have sincere religious objections to Kroger’s dress code,” court documents show. Rudofsky also ordered the company to create a religious accommodation policy and new employee training.

    Rudofsky wrote in the order that Rickerd and Lawson “both have sincerely held religious beliefs that homosexuality is a sin and that they cannot support or promote it.”

      The greatest Witch Hunt in American History continues on all fronts, even as the Election rages, an unwritten “NO NO” in Law and Politics. The Document Hoax Case I thought was over based on the fact that the documents were declassified, but more importantly based on the history of past Presidents and the way they were treated. The Clinton “Socks Case” is conclusive, the Presidential Record Act is great & easy to understand, & my Fourth Amendment Rights were violated with the Raid on Mar-a-Lago!

    Unbelievable! From the GP article:

    “The problem is the websites cited by the mainstream media that were supposedly aligned with DePape were created on Friday and they are no longer active today, Saturday.

    The site Godisloving.wordpress.com was opened on Friday and shut down on Saturday.

    The other site listed, http://www.frenlyfrens.com/blog is no longer active as well. It too was created on Friday and shut down on Saturday. The only activity on this site as well was in the last two days.

    It looks like this is all another far-left conjured-up lie. The websites reportedly connected to Paul Pelosi’s “friend” in his underwear are totally fake. They were created on Friday and deleted on Saturday and the only activity in them was over the past few days. “

  14. Good morning – That’s a LOT OF IRONY in today’s post!

    Heading over to Sally’s today to try to re-do her ♿ wheelchair foot leg pillow arrangement so she’s more comfortable.

    People who are confined to wheelchairs and have limited movement, poor circulation – have very tender feet. Swelling is a problem. With her disease, the ankle and feet get deformed and turn and a Tailor’s callus forms on the outside of the foot where the toe joints begin – and put pressure on this part of the foot – and it’s painful. Has to be filed down and she can’t can’t stand anything to touch it.

    We’ve tried a whole lot of measures and rigs to solve the problem, and so far – none of them work for long. Now she sleeps – lives full time in her chairs and something that is comfortable in the day time isn’t comfortable at night.

    So, I’ve probably got to come up with two different foot/leg/ankle pillow arrangements – one for day – and one for night/naps. Her sleeping hours are irregular too, so I’ve got my work cut out for me. Praying for inspiration.

    Won’t stay overnight – driving back tonight. I’m still getting over the 14 night – 16 day stay with all her tirades and vile vocabulary.

  15. eagles are dying, not just from hitting powerlines and the asinine wind turbines, but also from consuming too many carcasses killed by lead bullets. interesting story
    FTA
    Nikonow encountered the eagle in the Garnet Mountains of western Montana, a place teeming with wildlife year-round and, in the fall, hunters like herself. She grew up hunting in Worland, Wyoming, and switched from lead to copper ammunition in college after she learned about the dangers lead poses to wildlife. The eagle was likely poisoned while eating a carcass killed with lead. “I can change myself, but if everyone else is still using lead … these animals are going to die,” she said.

    Members of the NYC PBA are enraged by Pat Lynch’s donation. One telling me, “ it feels like Lynch has given in to these lawless politicians. Regardless, Zeldin has my support.”

    Another NYPD veteran told me, “as both a New Yorker and a police officer, the union’s support for Governor Hochul is disgraceful. The Governor has made the lives of each and every union member more dangerous and stressful through her allegiance to bail reform. Mr.Lynch (PBA President) has stood behind the podium and put on a show against vaccine mandates and bail reform. Meanwhile, behind our backs he has sold us out. Absolute betrayal.”

  18. WTF??!!?? This is insane!!!

    EXCERPT: “A teacher booted from one city high school for flirting with students and posting a nearly nude photo of himself on Snapchat is back in the classroom at an elite Manhattan school under a different last name – with the apparent blessing of the city Department of Education, The Post has learned. Gabriel Mitey, 28, who is certified in special education, worked last year at the Lower Manhattan Arts Academy, or LOMA, where several students complained to other faculty of bizarre behavior.

    Mitey now goes by Gabriel Torres. And despite being the subject of five different probes, he is teaching classes in algebra and earth science at the highly coveted 6-12 Professional Performing Arts School, known as PPAS, in Midtown. A photo of a smiling Mitey on the cafeteria bulletin board identifies him as “Mr. Torres.”

    A PPAS mom who had another child at LOMA last year first recognized the teacher as Mitey, insiders say. Word soon spread among students, who shared a Post article about allegations against Mitey, and told their parents. To those who asked, a guidance counselor and Principal Kevin Ryan conceded that “Torres” is Mitey, parents said.

    Ryan told parents he needed a special-ed teacher this fall, and the DOE sent “Torres,” who he said, “came highly recommended.” Ryan insisted to parents the DOE did not inform him that Torres was actually Mitey, or divulge the teacher’s troubled history, until he asked higher-ups. “He feels the DOE played him,” said a father who learned of the subterfuge.

    “I believe in second chances, but not when it comes to kids. I don’t want to risk my daughter in that type of situation,” said the dad, asking to remain anonymous to protect his child. Parents and students were told that Mitey has not been charged with misconduct. The Special Commissioner of Investigation for city schools cited five investigations of Mitey in 2020 and 2021. SCI referred two cases to the DOE, and three others were closed, a spokesman said.

    The SCI released no findings. The DOE refused all comment on Mitey, not saying if the two probes it handled are ongoing or closed, or whether the students’ complaints were substantiated. Mitey’s father is a veteran city teacher and his mother is a city Health Department employee. Rather than remove Mitey from LOMA last year pending investigation – which is standard practice for alleged sexual misconduct – he was kept on by Principal Derek Premo, who himself remains the subject of a sexual harassment complaint. Premo resigned in March.

    Finally, after inquiries by The Post, the DOE pulled Mitey from the school in August 2021, citing “extremely disturbing allegations.”
    ———————
    DOE returned Mitey to LOMA several months after yanking him, but students protested, holding up papers saying “Mitey Must Go!” One teen ran up on the stage during a music assembly and started yelling “We don’t want any pervert teachers,” a LOMA dad said. Some parents at PPAS fear Mitey is not fit to work with kids. “My biggest concern is that he’s allowed to be a teacher,” one said. “I’m mad about the school turning its back and looking the other way.”

    Officials could not say if Mitey has legally changed his name. He did not return emails seeking comment. Nor did Ryan.”

  20. I wonder if this could have the legs to get to SCOTUS…..

    Entire Article @ nationalfile:

    “The Supreme Court of Georgia found on Tuesday that citizens and voters of the Peach State have legal standing to sue government election officials who violate Georgia law. “Georgia voters were unjustly denied their Equal Protection and Due Process rights to ensure only legal voters were counted in the 2020 election,” Election integrity group VoterGA co-founder Garland Favorito said in a statement made on Thursday.

    The decision was written by Nels S.D. Peterson, the Presiding Justice of the Supreme Court of Georgia. The court overturned, in part, the initial rulings made in the cases of Sons of Confederate Veterans et. al, vs. Henry County Board of Commissioners and Sons of Confederate Veterans et al, v. Newton County Board of Commissioners. Both rulings were made in lower courts.

    In both aforementioned cases, the plaintiffs had sued their respective county boards of commissioners for an illegal vote which was passed to remove a statue which was protected under the Official Code of Georgia Annotated (O.C.G.A. 50-3-1).

    “Georgia has long recognized that members of a community, whether as citizens, residents, taxpayers, or voters, may be injured when their local government fails to follow the law. Government at all levels has a legal duty to follow the law,” Presiding Justice Peterson wrote in his ruling. “A local government owes that legal duty to its citizens, residents, taxpayers, or voters (i.e. community stakeholders), and the violation of that legal duty constitutes an injury that our case law has recognized as conferring standing to those community stakeholders, even if the plaintiff suffered no individualized injury.”

    “Because the Georgia Constitution is the source of the judicial power of state courts, federal standing requirements do not control our analysis,” Peterson stated. “It is unsurprising that we have extended this logic to ‘voters,’ because they, like citizens and taxpayers, are community stakeholders. Voters may be injured when elections are not administered according to the law or when elected officials fail to follow the voters’ referendum for increased taxes to find a particular project, so voters may have standing to vindicate public rights.”

    -Presiding Justice Nels S.D. Peterson – Supreme Court of Georgia
    -October 25th, 2022

    The Justice affirmed that the State of Georgia need not follow the federal code for determination of the legal standing of plaintiffs who are citizens of the Empire State of the South. “Nothing in the Georgia Constitution requires that we follow federal law on standing, even though in our more recent history, this Court has uncritically adopted federal jurisprudence on the question of standing,” Peterson added.

    The example Justice Peterson gave was the case, Black Voters Matter Fund Inc. v. Kemp (313 Ga. 392), a recent case in which the Georgia Supreme Court “announced a new Georgia standing rule by ‘adopting wholesale’ [the] federal precedent.”

    The decision by the Peach State’s supreme court confirms arguments made in the Fulton County Counterfeit Ballot case, called Favorito et al, v. Wan et al, originally called Favorito et al, v. Cooney et al. The was dismissed after 10 months of hearings for lack of standing because county officials hired criminal defense lawyers in order to prevent the inspection of ballots by petitioners.

    Favorito v. Wan currently has a pending writ of certiorari, or a direct petition for the Supreme Court of the U.S. to hear the case. The Supreme Court is “usually not under any obligation to hear these cases, and it usually only does so if the case could have national significance, might harmonize conflicting decisions in the federal Circuit courts, and/or could have precedential value.”

    At least four of the nine Justices must vote to accept a case such that it can be accepted. The Court typically accepts less than 2% of the cases that it is asked to review annually. “We will do everything within our power to overturn the bogus ruling we received and preserve all 2020 election ballots,” Favorito added.”

  21. ultra maggot hiding records on baby formula shortage
    entire article
    The Biden administration made a mess with the infant formula shortage earlier this year, and the problem is still ongoing, remaining at crisis levels in some parts of the country.

    But don’t ask them how thing are going now. After launching a high-profile investigation on why it happened last May 24, the shortages are still there, and now there’s a coverup.

    According to the Washington Examiner:

    EXCLUSIVE — President Joe Biden’s Federal Trade Commission is being sued for allegedly blocking the release of records related to its investigation of the nationwide baby formula shortage.

    The Functional Government Initiative, an ethics watchdog , sent a Freedom of Information Act request in August to the FTC for the records, noting their release is in the “public interest.” But the watchdog has not received any records as of this writing and is now suing the FTC for “wrongfully withholding them,” according to a Wednesday complaint obtained by the Washington Examiner.

    “FGI anticipates that officials and staff at FTC discussed and participated in making and implementing decisions about the investigation into the infant formula crisis,” read the watchdog’s lawsuit. “The public does not have an ability to easily evaluate the decision-making surrounding FTC’s investigation.”

    The Functional Government Initiative smelled a rat on this probe, suspecting that the FTC was in bed with leftists in Congress, as well maybe taking orders from NGOs and Big Labor unions, and quite possibly making insulting remarks about all the moms with babies who were sending in the requested public comments to the agency as requested. There also was a legitimate question as to why it took the feds so long to investigate the baby formula shortage, given that it claimed a whistleblower complaint sent to it was “lost” in the mailroom for four months. Really?

    They made a request for the public records on this, and got stonewalled.

    The formula is still in shortage, with the Washington Examiner citing data showing that it’s just 87% in stock, compared to around 90% before the pandemic. The Examiner also cited a newly released household survey from the Census bureau stating that 30% of households say they still can’t get the formula they need, meaning, some places may have a surplus, and others may have way less. That’s how averages go, assuming the data are correct, and given that this is the Biden administration, it might not be.

    Bottom line here is that the Biden administration doesn’t want us to know how it’s investigating the baby formula crisis, probably because it played such a big role in making it happen. Midterms are on, after all, so the records request can wait. The Bidenites along with the Obamatons, have a history of failing to release what are and should be public records, because they would show some kind of disaster.

    One can only hope that the moms who were probably disparaged by these sneaky officials take that into account on election day — and vote accordingly.

    A coalition of 19 state attorneys general from across the country launched a formal investigation into six major U.S. banks last week citing legal concerns about banks’ “ESG” investing and their involvement with a United Nations alliance fighting CO2 emission.

    Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, and Citigroup being investigated.

    The banks “appear to be colluding with the U.N. to destroy American companies” and undermine the nation’s best interests, one of the AGs warned in a statement e-mailed to The Epoch Times

    In particular, officials are investigating the banks’ involvement in the controversial United Nations Net-Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA). The global network of banks, convened and overseen by the U.N., pledges to eliminate emissions of so-called “greenhouse gases” by 2050 by transforming their lending and investment practices.

  25. Old man Moskowitz was getting along in years. He decided to retire and let his 3 sons run the company (which manufactured a wide variety of nails). The sons thought they could increase market-share with some judicious billboard advertising.

    Only a week later the old man was taking his usual Sunday drive in the country when he saw the first billboard ad. There it was – a picture of Christ on the Cross, with the caption: “Nails for Every Purpose. Use Moskowitz Nails.”

    The old man immediately met with his 3 sons to voice his concern. He explained that the backlash could be horrendous. The company could be ruined. The sons agreed to discontinue that ad.

    A week later the old man was again taking his usual Sunday drive when he saw the second billboard ad. There it was – – a picture of the same cross, empty, with Christ crumpled on the ground below… and the caption: “Next Time Use Moskowitz Nails.”

  26. A mid 30’s guy is grocery shopping, and a 20 something blonde catches his eye.
    She looks very familiar, but he can’t remember where he met her. When they moved closer, she said to him, “Hi – I think you’re the father of one of my children.”

    The guy freaks out. He says, “I’ve only cheated on my wife 3 times – in Vegas 5 years ago, in Orlando 4 years ago, and in Seattle 3 years ago. You look familiar, but I just can’t remember. Who are you?”

    She says, “I’m your son’s Sunday school teacher.”

    A new pastor was visiting the homes of his parishioners. At one house it seemed obvious that someone was at home, but no answer came to his repeated knocks at the door. Therefore, he took out a card and wrote “Revelation 3:20″ on the back of it and stuck it in the door.

    When the offering was processed the following Sunday, he found that his card had been returned. Added to it was this cryptic message, Genesis 3:10.”

    Reaching for his Bible to check out the citation, he broke up in gales of laughter. Revelation 3:20 begins “Behold, I stand at the door and knock.” Genesis 3:10 reads, “I heard your voice in the garden and I was afraid, for I was naked.”

    One Sunday morning, Satan appeared before a small town congregation. Everyone started screaming and running for the front church door, trampling each other in a frantic effort to get away. Soon, everyone was gone, except for an elderly gentleman who sat calmly. Satan walked up to the man and said, “Don’t you know who I am?”
    The man replied, “Yep, sure do.”
    Satan asked, “Aren’t you going to run?”
    “Nope, sure ain’t,” said the man.
    Perturbed, Satan asked, “Why aren’t you afraid of me?”
    The man calmly replied, “Been married to your sister for over 48 years.”

    Finding one of her students making faces at others on the playground, Ms. Smith stopped to have a talk with the child. Smiling sweetly, the Sunday School teacher said, “Johnny, when I was a child, I was told if that I made ugly faces, it would freeze and I would stay like that.” Johnny looked up and replied, “Well, Ms Smith, you can’t say you weren’t warned.”

  29. “In one Intensive care unit, people always died on the same bed at 11 am on a Sunday morning, regardless of their condition. This puzzled medical staff, so a group of doctors decided to observe the bed in secret and waited for the fateful hour. Some held crosses and prayer books to ward off evil influences, while the less superstitious had video cameras to catch the whole thing on tape. At the 11th hour, the door to the ward slowly opened, then a cleaner came in, disconnected the life support machine and plugged in a vacuum cleaner.”

    I once caught my grandfather sprinkling gunpowder onto his grits one Sunday morning. I asked him why he would do that. He explained, “Kid, my father did this, and his father did this. If you do this as well, every day, it’ll help keep you hale and hearty well into your golden years.”

    It must be true, since when he died last year, he was 97, and left thirteen children, twenty-seven grandchildren, twelve great grandchildren, four great great grand children, and a fifteen foot deep crater where the crematorium used to be.

    The Wednesday-night church service coincided with the last day of hunting season. Our pastor asked who had bagged a deer. No one raised a hand. Puzzled, the pastor said, “I don’t get it. Last Sunday many of you said you were unable to make service because of hunting season. I had the whole congregation pray for your deer.”

    One hunter groaned, “Well, it worked. They’re all safe.”

Tell me, Mary, did he have any last requests? “She says, “That he did, Father… “The priest says, “What did he ask, Mary? “She says, “He said, ‘Please, Mary, put down that damn gun…'”

    “….number one issues are inflation and jobs, lost over 25K jobs in the state due to the plan to shutdown our industry….it was Lisa Murkowski who cast the tie-breaking vote in committee to advance Deb Haaland [radical environmentalist] as Secretary of the Interior. That’s what got me in the race.”

    “My parents were once homeless before I was born. My Mom got a job on the slope at the start of the pipeline build and that changed everything for us. I believe energy policy isn’t just DC policy any more. It’s worker policy and it’s family policy.”

    This is getting good!

    “Last night, Hillary posted on Twitter that MAGA Republicans were violent and behind the attack on Paul Pelosi. Elon Musk followed up her post with a link to an article that says that Nancy’s husband, Paul Pelosi, met his attacker at a gay bar and brought him home. The article crashed so here is a link to an archive along with those two posts. ”

  32. Well, now…..just got this in my e-mail from SuperSpreader:

    Link to article – I have no clue who or what this “Santa Monica Observer” is, whether it’s legit or not. But Elon Tweeted it out so……

    EXCERPT: “As SF’s gay bars closed at 2 am, two gay men met in a bar and went home together. Happens every night in the City by the Bay. Except one of these two men, was married to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

    I might disappear for telling you the truth. If I do, you’ll all know why. But here’s what really happened early Friday morning in San Francisco. IMHO

    According to SFPD “RP [Reporting Person] stated that there’s a male in the home and that he’s going to wait for his wife. RP stated that he doesn’t know who the male is but he advised that his name is David, and that he is a friend,” the dispatch official said. “RP sounded somewhat confused.”

    It’s been a rumor for years in SF that Paul Pelosi is gay. David Depape is said to be a Castro Nudist. “The lunatic who allegedly assaulted Paul Pelosi is a Berkeley resident and a ‘Former Castro Nudist Protester’ and hemp ‘jewelry maker’ …sounds totally MAGA Republican to me. 🤣🤣” this from Twitter.

    Ok, so here’s the theory, as related to me by a source: “Castro Nudists are a group of really radical gay male prostitutes that parade around naked with c–k rings. First of all, the Police did not come in response to an alarm. They come in response to a “wellness check”. So someone called them to check on Pelosi.”

        it’s all being jumbled up to cause confusion if in fact the gay lover is the truth…

    They’re all doing The Narrative(tm) Two-Step, blaming Trump supporters because Paul Pelosi hires crazy gay hookers. Justine Castreau just weighed in from Occupied Canada. Adam Kinzinger is hiding under his desk again.

    It’s weird; they have Pride Minutes, Pride Days, Pride Weeks, Pride Months, Pride Centuries and Pride Flags. They want to teach babies in the Maternity Ward about transitioning.

    But they can’t admit Paul Pelosi is a Bisexual Menace.

    Like Obama.
