Sunday Strip: The People's House
A hope and a promise
“All elements are lickable; some elements are lickable only once.”
Is this true? Did researchers actually study this?
#PSYWAR
So, I looked up this article - and yes, the mainstream media had tens of articles, all the same, spread all across the world - same title, same article, same photo about this study. Below is a screenshot of a few such articles:
Not a single one had an actual reference to the study in their “news” story.
So, I went and found that reference - the peer-reviewed article that this was all based upon. This is important because at the end of the conclusions is the sentence:
they could offer mechanisms for enhancing vaccine effectiveness, particularly among populations at greater risk of vaccine failure.
Why yes, this is all about “vaccine hesitancy” and how to overcome it. So, it is no surprise that so many “local” media outlets picked up this study - as money is still floating around to promote overcoming vaccine hesitancy and improving uptake. Frankly, this has all the hallmarks of being disseminated through The Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP).
The journal that this study was reported in does not require that the authors list who paid to have the study conducted, but it has all the hallmarks of being yet another of the 6,000+ studies that governments, NGOs and big pharma have funded to overcome “vaccine hesitancy.”
Of course, the placebo effect is real, and neither the study nor the news articles mentioned the possibility that maybe this is all in people’s heads…
Moving on to something a little more in keeping with comedy:
Truth: Tokyo hotel rooms are the size of postage stamps, but the toilets were awesome.
A year ago today, on Easter, President Biden celebrated this sacred event by honoring people who “transitioned.”
Easter honors the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, which is a victory over sin and death, offering the promise of eternal life.
That we can all overcome sin in our lives, is something to strive for. The story of Christ gives us that hope. A hope and promise. But we all must work for our own salvation, for our own goodness. To live a life as free of sin as possible.
Which is why, honoring people for their mental health issues that are then being foisted on children, during Easter, of all religious celebrations, was so morally offensive. From the co-option of the rainbow colors, colors that children adore, to the bringing of these fetishes into children’s spaces - such as drag queen hour and a presidential easter egg hunt, is morally wrong. Unbelievably wrong.
That our White House, the people’s house, that was sullied in this way on Easter day. This was and will always be unacceptable.
Ben Garrison - made this cartoon a year ago. It has stood the test of time.
Today is a day to celebrate, to rejoice in family, friends and life.
May peace and God be with you.
Happy Easter. If there’s ever a day during the year that we all should appreciate the gift of today it’s Easter. It seems too many days are spent worrying. We worry about what happened yesterday or we’re always trying to rush through today to get to tomorrow. It seems if we’re not living in the past we’re trying to live in the future. If we constantly worry about how things are going to work out it’s doing two things, it’s stealing the gift of right now and it’s not allowing God to work in our life. God works where there’s faith. Faith is simply trusting. God I may not understand how this is going to work, but I know you’re in control, I’m handing these worries over to you. Isn’t Easter Sunday a perfect day for that?
I don’t know how many days I’ve wasted worrying and nothing ever comes of it. Every day is a gift. We are supposed to enjoy all our days, it’s a decision we make. We should not dread any part of our day. God thank you I can work, God thank you I’m strong enough to cut the lawn, God thank you for my family. To many of us think someday I’ll be able to enjoy my life. We should enjoy our day right now.
We never know how long we have here. We shouldn’t take people in our life for granted. Sometimes we go years without talking to family or a friend because they may have said something that offended us. If we knew this was our last Easter, here, would what they had said really matter. Would we leave this earth still holding that grudge.
Last week I went to a wake for the wife of a childhood friend, she was only 57 years old. When we were younger we all hung around together. At the wake there were all beautiful flowers and I noticed every one had nice things to say about Sue. Maybe we should learn to give flowers while people are still here. If you have something good to say about me, do me a favor, say it while I’m here not after I’m gone. We never know when someone will no longer be here.
I heard a story about this daughter. She got at odds with her father over this young man she was dating. The father didn’t really approve of him, he didn’t think it was the best for her. This young lady gave her father the cold shoulder. For several years she didn’t want anything to do with him. The father tried to reach out to her, be loving, and kind but she stayed bitter and angry and just totally ignored him.
One day she got a call her father had a heart attack and was on his way to the hospital. This changed everything, all the barriers came down. She rushed up there as fast as she could. The father was a young man he was in his early fifties. There in the emergency room between them working on him the father asked the nurse for a pen and paper to write a note. Two hours later, before his daughter was able to get to the hospital her father died. When she came in the doctors had to tell her the bad news, of coarse she was devastated. How am I going to live with myself knowing I didn’t make peace with my father? Soon the nurse came out and handed her the note, she said your father was holding this note when he passed, it was addressed to you. The note read Dear Sarah, I love you, I forgive you, please forgive me. Today she carries that note with her everywhere she goes.
If we are at odds with someone how are we going to feel if they’re taken away without being able to make things right. We may not be able to be the best of friends, but certainly we are able to be at peace with each other. There are so many people that have regrets, and there’s always opportunity to be the bigger person just for the sake of peace. It may be hard and it may be unfair but it may let you live without carrying the burden of regret. Today pick up the phone, do the right thing, be the bigger person, have a Happy Easter 😇😇.
