Came for the guilt, stayed for the people.This is my social media.I'm too tired to keep up.But I have listened to every single TSL since the beginning of time!
Here’s another interview about how Ivermectin works (it prevents the virus from replicating), with a little bit about how zinc works (it kills the virus within cells, if taken with an ionophore to get the zinc into the infected cells, or if it’s taken in the picolinate form, which acts like an ionophore). Ivermectin’s success […]
In fact, it’s not only a game changer for SARS-CoV-2, but also for viral disease as we know it, and also some bacterial diseases (including antibiotic-resistant diseases like tuberculosis). It has minimal side effects, and has been used around the world, especially in third-world countries, for decades. It is very, very safe, even if you take […]
Link follows: Coronavirus: Why everyone was wrong “The original article was published in the Swiss magazine Weltwoche (World Week) on June 10th. The author, Beda M Stadler, is the former director of the Institute for Immunology at the University of Bern, a biologist and professor emeritus. Stadler is an important medical professional in […]
There is a good essay at First Things about the failed secular theology of “systemic racism.” “Slavery and Jim Crow were evil and systemic. Racism is sinful. But the solution is not to replace the church’s theology of forgiveness with a secular atonement narrative that undermines the Christian narrative.” The essay explains how the academic/media/political […]
In this week’s “Right Angle: Backstage” show, Steve mentioned his first Amazon order. I thought this would be a fun game, so I immediately looked up my first one. It was January 27, 1999 and it was a CD of the D’Oyly Carte company’s recording of Gilbert & Sullivan’s H.M.S. Pinafore. I bought it because […]
Maryanne asked me about my personal regimen regarding zinc + quercetin (in a thread in response to the “Trump on the Hydroxy” show), and it got a little long so I’ve moved it to its own blog post. Maryanne said: Apparently, quercetin taken in large doses can have adverse side effects. . . . So, […]
Today I watched a NOVA episode from a couple of years ago called “Death Dive to Saturn.” It was about the Cassini mission, the amazing things they discovered–with 30-year-old computer systems!–and its end. One of the things that struck me was when one of the scientists they interviewed talked about how fun and exciting […]
I am really concerned about the growing talk suggesting that Republicans are willing to cut a deal with Democrats over state bailouts for badly run states, perhaps in exchange for something like a payroll tax holiday or cut. Breitbart had a good article last week on this issue. Changing the law to allow states to […]
This one is a political analysis which attempts to explain how and why conservatives lost the narrative when we argued against lockdown.
Here’s an excellent article over at First Things that sums up what I think about the shutdown. It is hard sometimes to avoid confirmation bias and hindsight, but I was always inclined to think that the lockdown was an over-reaction. I was willing to go give all our leaders who made these decisions the benefit […]
Disclaimer: I am neither a biologist nor a microbiologist nor a virologist. I have long-term medical condition which I believe to be viral, and I belong to a private website dedicated to a drug protocol that has taken care of a great deal, but not all, of my illness. The new antiviral therapies being explored […]
The Phase 1 seems reasonable but I think it should have started last Friday, not May 1st. From the article: “Abbott’s plan to allow businesses to reopen consists of two phases. Beginning Friday, May 1, all retail stores, restaurants, movie theaters, malls, museums, libraries, churches and places of worship can reopen with occupancy limited to […]
The Santa Clara County, California medical examiner sent autopsy samples to the CDC for testing from two people “who died at home on February 6, 2020 and February 17, 2020.” Both were confirmed positive. https://www.dailywire.com/news/bombshell-autopsy-reveals-covid-19-hit-california-in-early-february-not-march
A week or two ago (I can no longer reckon the passage of time), Bill talked about the hypothesis that the Wuhan virus has been present in California since last fall, and that a far larger percentage of the population has already had it and is asymptomatic than the currently accepted numbers. The hypothesis takes […]
During the first couple of weeks, President Trump at his daily briefings consistently referred to the virus as the “Chinese virus” or the “Wuhan virus.” The press went nuts, and he successfully defended his usage of the term every day in response to their loaded questions, and it highlighted the press’s obsession with narrative. He never laid it out quite so plainly as I would have liked, listing a dozen viruses named after their places of origin, which nobody ever suggested was racist before now, but he defended it, despite the fact that no one else at the podium ever used it.
And then one day he came out and talked about how wonderful Chinese Americans are, and he hasn’t used the term “Chinese virus” even once since then. And thus the press won on that narrative.
I wish he’d stuck to his guns. I wonder if he simply felt he’d made his point. I wonder if someone on his team convinced him that it was too distracting and his messages weren’t getting out because that was all the press would talk about. I wonder if someone convinced him that Asian Americans were being targeted for hate crimes (which were probably all hoaxes).
I think the President has been enormously patient with the press and their ridiculous loaded questions. He gives them a lot more credit than they deserve, calling a lot of their questions “fair” when they aren’t. I don’t understand why he would let go of such easy ammo when he was right and they were wrong.
