“We are here on Earth to fart around, and don’t let anybody tell you any different.” | Richard Smith's non-medical blogs


This comes from an interview with Kurt Vonnegut. I’ve loved it for 20 years and you might too.

“I work at home, and if I wanted to, I could have a computer right by my bed, and I’d never have to leave it. But I use a typewriter, and afterward I mark up the pages with a pencil. Then I call up this woman named Carol out in Woodstock and say, “Are you still doing typing?” Sure she is, and her husband is trying to track bluebirds out there and not having much luck, and so we chitchat back and forth, and I say, “Okay, I’ll send you the pages.”

Then I go down the steps and my wife calls, “Where are you going?” “Well,” I say, “I’m going to buy an envelope.” And she says, “You’re not a poor man. Why don’t you buy a thousand envelopes? They’ll deliver them, and you can put them in the closet.” And I say, “Hush.”

So I go to this newsstand across the street where they sell magazines and lottery tickets and stationery. I have to get in line because there are people buying candy and all that sort of thing, and I talk to them. The woman behind the counter has a jewel between her eyes, and when it’s my turn, I ask her if there have been any big winners lately.

I get my envelope and seal it up and go to the postal convenience center down the block at the corner of Forty-seventh Street and Second Avenue, where I’m secretly in love with the woman behind the counter. I keep absolutely poker-faced; I never let her know how I feel about her. One time I had my pocket picked in there and got to meet a cop and tell him about it.

Anyway, I address the envelope to Carol in Woodstock. I stamp the envelope and mail it in a mailbox in front of the post office, and I go home.

And I’ve had a hell of a good time. I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don’t let anybody tell you any different.”

A renowned investigative statistician is raising the alarm after discovering a huge surge in excess Covid “vaccine” deaths hidden in an official government database.

The discovery was made by John Beaudoin Sr., a leading data expert and the author of “The Real CDC.”

Beaudoin has been analyzing the Massachusetts Department of Health’s database for the state’s recorded deaths.

He sought to conduct an in-depth analysis of the data to determine if there were any safety signals after the rollout of Covid mRNA “vaccines.”

Beaudoin found that while very few “vaccine deaths” were recorded in the official data, other mortality rates were surging among people who received the injections.

The data revealed that excess all-cause deaths remained fairly steady in 2020, the first year of the pandemic.

However, that changed when the “vaccines” rolled out in early 2021.

Based on Beaudoin’s analysis, excess deaths started to rise in 2021.

“The blood and circulatory causes of death went up instead of down,” he said.

So my roommate doesn't vote. Ever. And I mean EVER. In his life. I never saw him as having TDS. Not sure this is TDS exactly. More like overall paranoia and alcohol inspired stupidity.

So it started off reasonably enough, as they are threatening to cut routes and hours for local trains and busses (SEPTA) which will affect his ability to get to work and my ability to see family, as neither of us has cars...

...cuz this has nothing to to with trains and buses now, and besides, grocery prices are going down?

"for now" he says, "But who knows what the next crazy tariff Trump does will cause."

I point out it's to get countries to come to the bargaining table, except China. He replies to "Keep a weather eye on the future" and doesn't want to talk about it anymore...

TRUMP HINTS AT TREASON CHARGES

( Are Treason Indictments Already Underway? )

====Bullhorn Barry📢(Opinion / Short Video)

Let me preface this by saying this - It would NOT be a wise move for Trump to accuse the enemy from within of Treason unless charges were already underway. His base would never be okay with evidence of treason without indictments. Trump's confidence and the fact that he said we're going to prove their treason and that their treason will not be forgotten - tells me that charges of treason may already underway, but time will tell.

Paul Krugman:
“Did I see this coming? No, not really. Unlike the sanewashers, I knew that Trump’s policies would be irresponsible & destructive. However, even I didn’t expect him to destroy credibility accumulated over 80 years in less than three months. But he has. And even if Trump were to backtrack on everything he’s done, we wouldn’t get the lost credibility back. The whole world…now knows that America is run by a mad king, surrounded by enablers, who can’t be trusted to behave rationally.”

Es ist schon wieder so weit. Einmal mehr bringe ich hier einen Text aus meinem kleinen Rotzeblögchen, ganz ohne die Sprache zu entrotzen oder gar auf den Dudenstandard der Orthografie zu bringen. Und dann schreibt dieser Text auch noch etwas über eine ganz bestimmte politische Partei, was für einen frischen Spritzer Galle in der Würzung sorgt. Wer Probleme mit kreativen Schreibungen und teilweise derben, an die Umgangssprache angelehnten Sprachgebrauch hat, sollte genau jetzt mit dem Weiterlesen aufhören…

Grüne scheißidee des tages: der bundesarbeitsdienst


Die hartz-IV-rentenabschaffungs-staatliche-lohndrückerei-kriegs-scheißgrünen so: einfach anstelle einer wehrpflicht ein halbes jahr zwangsarbeit für jedy einführen… moment, wir brauchen noch einen schönen namen für die zwangsarbeit… wie können wir das jetzt mal nennen, damit es nicht ganz so übel klingt, wie es werden soll… oh, ich habs, sagt der polizeipolitische sprecher Florian Siekmann: wir nennen es einfach „freiheitsdienst“. Das klingt doch gut. Denen, denen die zwangsarbeiter zur verfügung stehen, gibt es ja auch mehr freiheit weniger lohn zu bezahlen.

Am nordufer des von zwangsarbeitern des reichsarbeitsdienstes vorbildlich emissjonsarm mit muskelkraft gegrabenen maschsees in hannover steht immer noch das alte nazidenkmal und verkündet in der damals modernen und ästetisch durchaus ansprechenden, aber wohl für alle zeiten wie scheiße stinkenden und wie wehrmachtsstiefel tönenden frakturgrotesken: „wille zum aufbau gab werkfrohen händen den segen der arbeit“. Der adler, dieser vogel, den die deutschen nun einmal haben, er schwebt mit durchkrampftem gefieder über den buchstaben, nur das hakenkreuz im siegerkranz haben die briten freundlicherweise rausgeschlagen, damit wir auch ja nicht wieder auf diesen geschmack kommen. Dass der spruch zeitlos passend ist, um arbeitszwänge aller art schönzureden, wussten sogar die briten. Und hej, dafür ist im kranz jetzt ja platz für das sonnenblumenlogo. Das ist ja auch ein sonnensymbol.

Einst grüne pflanzen werden im welken erst teilweise gräulich-natoolivgrün und schließlich ganz und gar bräunlich, bis sie schließlich verwesen und zum neuen boden werden, auf dem hoffentlich etwas hübscheres gedeiht.

President Donald Trump’s tariffs have successfully brought at least 70 countries to the negotiating table, but the tumultuous market situation highlights a need for the administration to simplify the message to the public. And they seem to have coalesced around Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s approach of marketing them as a negotiating tactic.

While completing his surgical training at Texas Children’s Hospital (TCH) in 2022, Haim discovered that the hospital’s public claim that it had shut down its gender transition program for minors, after Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) had declared that such treatment constituted child abuse, “was a blatant lie,” he testified. “They not only continued their program, they expanded it.”

To hear the legacy media tell it, President Donald Trump’s tariffs have led to an economic meltdown with the power to drown the global economy in a sea of red ink. The president’s “mindless tariffs will cause economic havoc,” warned The Economist. Time magazine insisted the new tariff schedule “could lead to a global recession,” and the left-wing website Vox said his tariffs are “destroying the economy … because American democracy is no longer strong enough to stop him.”
