It’s National Toss Your Fruitcake Day!

Humor 2 Minutes

Fruitcake is one of those mysterious gifts that everybody receives, but nobody actually enjoys. It mysteriously lasts for a long time, and it does not taste good. If you received a fruitcake this holiday season, here are some ideas for using it.

1. A door stop

Do you have that pesky door that just won’t stay open? Throw the fruitcake down, and the door will stay open for as long as you want!

2. A booster seat for kids

Is your child not quite tall enough to sit at the dinner table? Simply place the fruitcake on a chair, and seat the child on top of the fruitcake. They will instantly be able to sit at the grown-up table!

3. A Christmas Tree stand

Is your Christmas Tree stand not festive enough? Use a fruitcake instead. (Bonus: the fruitcake will hold water, just like any other Christmas Tree stand)

4. A bird feeder (Will only work if birds are desperate)

You can try being a bird whisperer by feeding your local birds with the fruitcake! If the birds are hungry enough, this may just work!

5. A bookend

Are you tired of your books constantly falling over? Simply place the fruitcake at the end of your collection, and you have a festive bookend. For extra sturdiness, cut the cake in half and place one half at each end of your book collection.

6. Put it under your pesky neighbor’s tire

Do you have that one neighbor that you just can’t stand? Place the fruitcake under their tire, and they are almost guaranteed to never speak to you again.

7. A step stool

Do you have that one shelf that is just impossible to reach? Place the fruitcake on the ground and step on it. You are magically taller! (Note: Can also be used as a step platform for aerobics)

8. A beer koozie

Do you need somewhere festive to place your beer? Look no further than the fruitcake!

9. Use it to fix a wobbly table

Do you have to hold onto your drinks when you eat dinner? Place the fruitcake under the uneven leg, and your table is good as new! (Note: You may need to trim fruitcake according to table leg size)

10. A hockey puck

Did you lose all of your hockey pucks again? Simply use the fruitcake! You can even mold it into a hockey puck shape!

11. Save it for trick-or-treaters on Halloween

Would you like to see your fruitcake consumed, but you can’t do it yourself? Save it for Halloween! You can cut it into squares or use a cookie cutter for fun Halloween shapes!

12. A boat anchor*

*Will only work on smaller boats. Large boats and cruise ships will require several fruitcakes.

13. Throw it at a burglar

Someone break into your house? The weight of the fruitcake is sure to knock any burglar out!

14. Fire wood (most recommended)

If you just want the fruitcake to be gone, simply throw it in your bonfire during this chilly holiday season. It will be gone in no time!

  17. “Twitter Files: Twitter and the FBI “Belly Button” — Twitter tried to balk at cooperating with government agencies deemed “political.” In the end, it allowed everyone access through the FBI “Belly Button”

    EXCERPT: “For the accompanying Twitter Thread, click here. TK version coming

    In the first week of May, 2020, at the peak of Covid-19 panic, Twitter senior legal executive Stacia Cardille received a communication from the Global Engagement Center (GEC), the would-be operational/analytical arm of the U.S. State Department. Founded in the Obama years under Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the GEC was like the State Department’s wannabe version of the NSA or the Defense Intelligence Agency.

    Appended to an attachment with a long list of names was a note from the GEC — remember, these were the Trump years — that read, in part:

    ‘We are providing these 5,500 accounts that display inorganic behavior and follow two or more of the 36 Chinese diplomatic twitter accounts that we have identified in the report. Due to the fact that these accounts follow two or more of these diplomatic accounts, and a good portion of them are newly created, we believe that they are suspicious.’

    Dear

    :

    You’re losing support, after the third vote.

    You don’t have the votes to become Speaker.

    Put your country and party over yourself.

    Bow out.

    Dear House GOP:

    Important Lesson:

    Don’t abandon your constituents, to do the bidding of DC lobbyists.

    @GOPLeader
    took Big Tech’s money.

    And did Big Tech’s bidding.

    Even after Big Tech censored, silenced, de-platformed, and canceled conservatives.

    Out of touch?

    Out of job.

  20. “McCarthy’s Bid for House Speaker Remains Uncertain”
    by Bob Adelmann January 3, 2023

    ENTIRE ARTICLE @ NewAmerican: “Despite the issuance of new House rules and a conference call by Representative Kevin McCarthy on Sunday night, the number of “Never Kevins” has grown from five to 14. The proposed rules include giving Republicans a “vote of confidence” rule that would allow five or more members the power to move to “vacate the chair.” The original group of five “Never Kevins” are demanding that that motion may be made by just one member.

    The proposed rules also would allow lawmakers to insert in a spending bill moves to reduce and not increase government spending, along with the power to reduce salaries of government officials or to fire them. They include a move to allow lawmakers 72 hours to read a bill before voting on it, and to create a committee to investigate the weaponization of the FBI and the CIA against American citizens.

    In addition, they would end proxy voting and Zoom committee meetings. It also would move to put term limits on members of the Office of Congressional Ethics, which would immediately remove all but one Democrat from that committee.

    McCarthy himself acceded to demands that he move to oust Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, and give conservative firebrand Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) membership on the coveted Oversight Committee. In addition, McCarthy offered to investigate the “select” January 6 committee, scrutinizing specifically the failure of the committee to address security breakdowns that allowed violence to get out of hand.

    In spite of these verbal concessions, there was no movement by the original five “Never Kevins” and precious little that McCarthy was hoping to count on from the other nine. Not long after the late Sunday night conference call, the nine put out a letter to their colleagues announcing that any concessions McCarthy said he would make were still insufficient: “Thus far, there continue to be missing specific commitments with respect to virtually every component of our entreaties, and thus, no means to measure whether promises [by the House Speaker] are [being] kept or broken.”

    Adding to McCarthy’s woes was the announcement from the anti-tax group Club for Growth that it would score negatively any member of the party who votes for McCarthy.

    The House opens at noon on Tuesday, with the first order of business, after administering the oaths of office to the members, being a vote for speaker of the House. If the vote fails to give McCarthy a majority of those present, it would be the first time since 1923 when the first vote failed to nominate the House speaker. In that year, it took nine ballots before a candidate for speaker gained a majority vote. “

  21. “It Has Finally Happened: This Sport Will Create New “Transgender” Category in 2023”
    by Selwyn Duke January 3, 2023

    EXCERPT: “While responding to the controversy surrounding “transgender” men competing in women’s sports, many internet commenters have long opined, “They should just create a separate ‘transgender’ category.” Well, now it has finally happened — in the sport aficionados call “the sweet science.”

    Per The Telegraph: ‘Boxing will put out a call for transgender athletes to come forward in 2023 with the World Boxing Council looking to introduce a new category solely for trans fighters.

    Mauricio Sulaiman, the president of the WBC, believes the sport needs to look closely at the issue for “safety and inclusion” reasons, revealing his plan to Telegraph Sport.

    In an exclusive interview, Sulaiman says his proposal is that:

    — ‘The WBC will next year issue a “global call” for trans athletes to come forward if they want to compete, with the aim of setting up their own separate league or tournament

    — Trans athletes will not be allowed to compete against non-trans fighters

    — The sport would look to adopt the “at birth” rule, meaning a trans fighter born a man would only be able to compete against a fellow trans fighter born a man

    According to ESPN, the same standard would apply to women: Female MUSS (Made-up Sexual Status, aka “transgender”) individuals would be allowed to compete only against other female MUSS fighters.

    The WBC, “through its medical committee and technical committee, reached a determination after studies and an important talk during the WBC annual convention, an absolute and total confirmation was reached to not allow fights between people born men against people born women regardless of their current gender,” Sulaiman told ESPN.

    “On the other hand, a program is opened — with a committee — to allow transgender people to participate in boxing if they wish,” Sulaiman added. “It is an inclusion program, and the WBC rejects any type of discrimination.”

    That last statement is a falsehood. Like everyone else, the WBC “discriminates” continually. For example, it does so when prohibiting men from competing in the women’s category and when forbidding a heavyweight who identifies as a 135-pounder from fighting as a lightweight.”

  22. “The most likely scenario is that Damar Hamlin was brain dead on the field — Based on talking to a number of medical experts, the very sad news is that it is likely that Damar Hamlin died on the field. The COVID vaccine should be investigated as contributing to his death.”

    Steve Kirsch
    1 hr ago
    EXCERPT: “There is a lot of speculation on the Internet about whether or not Damar Hamlin will recover from his injury. I am very sad to report that this is unlikely. While I very much hope that I am wrong about this, the evidence that is known is not favorable. The medical experts I consulted believe that there is a high likelihood that Damar Hamlin was brain dead within 10 minutes after he dropped to the ground. The primary reason for this conclusion is the 9 minutes of CPR. It is simply very rare for someone not to be brain dead at that point. Nobody I talked to has ever heard of such a case. That doesn’t mean it hasn’t happened. It just means it is rare.

    I pray that this is not the case, but I think we need to prepare for that possibility. For example, there was no news from the hospital that his brain was still alive. This would have been uplifting news to the crowd of people waiting outside the hospital, but it was never delivered. There were no reports anywhere that Hamlin’s brain was still functioning. Why would they withhold this information?

    There was also no news so far today. That is ominous. Is it immoral to talk about the possibility that the COVID vaccine may be involved? Some would argue it is immoral and that I am a bad person for wanting to have a potential killer brought to justice. I don’t understand why people are angry with me for pointing out the evidence in plain sight and what it means. If you have anger, please direct it at the culprits, and not people who are trying to expose the culprits.

    Others would argue it is the right thing to do. However, if you believe it is immoral, please stop reading this article right now.”

    1. If Hamlin is brain dead, the possibility must be considered that the COVID vaccine played a role in his death. We cannot allow a potential killer to go free. One medical expert I spoke with said there was a 99% chance this was due to the vaccine. The reason for this opinion is that an injury of this nature (a relatively mild blow requiring 9 minutes of CPR and a failure of the defibrillator to revive him) is unprecedented if there wasn’t some underlying condition. If Hamlin had a known pre-existing condition, it would have surfaced by now.

      Multiple sources confirm that Hamlin was vaccinated. For example, the team boasted of being 100% vaccinated. I also heard from an NFL coach that he was vaccinated. I’ve heard that there were only two players on the team who were known to be unvaccinated: Josh Allen and Cole Beasley. There are some reports on Twitter that he was vaccinated just days before the event, but none of these reports have been authenticated and they were not considered in making the assessments in this article.

      Could the vaccine have played a role in his death? If it did, here are two the most likely possibilities:

      Possibility #1: Aortic aneurysm caused by the vaccine
      Aortic aneurysm is a well-known side-effect associated with the COVID vaccine:
      —————–
      Possibility #2: Myocarditis caused by the COVID vaccine
      The vaccine could have created heart damage (myocarditis) leading to an enlarged heart event. An adrenaline surge could lead to a myocardial infarction where his heart could not be restarted.


      “If there is a more accurate chart, please let me know.

      This database is also very compelling. Check it out. Can you explain all of these incidents… and why are they happening only after April 2021?”

  24. I am adding a short daily prayer to the board. I would invite each of you, if you wish, to also add one or maybe two of your own liking. I do not want to stifle anyone but please limit yourself to one or two religious postings. here’s one I found that I liked.
