COVID-19: A newly published analysis of ‘rona death statistics shows the highest ‘rona death rate was among the over 70s. However, 94% of the global population is under 70; the infected survival rate among 60-69ers was 99.5%.

Furthermore, 86% of the global population is under 60 years old. The infected survival rate among the oldest of these (50-59ers) was 99.88%.

And, as you go down in age, the survival rate goes up. For 40-49ers, it was 99.96%. For 30-39ers, it was 99.989%. For 20-29ers, it was 99.998%. And for 0-19ers, it was 99.9997%.

KAREN: [1:03] – This may be one of the most ridiculous Karens I’ve seen yet. No surprise it happened in San Fran-Feces which all the normal people have abandoned. “You’re killing us,” she screams … while standing still in the absolutely zero traffic lane that she thinks is unacceptably dangerous for her to use to quickly pass the ambulance. Also, telling the driver (who is on a break) to park in a parking lot … ignoring the very real possibility (and maybe regs?) that the driver’s break could be abruptly ended by an urgent call. The one thing she says that is absolutely true is that her mind is probably “God damned.”

KWANZAA: Today is the last day of this bogus holiday. Wikipedia says it was created in 1966 in the aftermath of the Watts riots. Black Power leader, Maulana Karenga, says he created it to “give blacks an alternative to the existing holiday of Christmas and give blacks an opportunity to celebrate themselves and their history, rather than simply imitate the practice of the dominant society.” IOW, it was intended, right from the start, to be a specific rejection of Jesus Christ.

You’ll notice that the 7-day kinara (kee-NAH-rah) mimics the Jewish menorah, but puts a black candle in the most important spot, and uses the traditional green and red colors of Christmas for the rest. Each day, the black candle is lit first; it symbolizes a desire for unity of purpose for all African American and Pan-American people. On subsequent days, the red and green candles are added. The “principles” highlighted each day are heavy on communist ideals, like collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, creativity in service of the community, and faith not in God, but in the community. In short, Black Power/BlackLivesMatter Marxism.

Not long after inventing Kwanzaa, Karenga was convicted of felony assault and false imprisonment. One of his victims testified that Karenga and other men had tortured her and another woman, stripping them naked and beating them with a toaster, an electrical cord and a karate baton. He also burned her mouth and face with a hot soldering iron, clamped her toes in a vise, and put detergent in their mouths and ran hoses into their mouths. While imprisoned, Karenga studied and wrote on feminism (wut?!), Pan-Africanism, and other subjects. Since his release, he has denied all charges, described himself as a former political prisoner, and eliminated the entire episode from his biographical materials. He’s been awarded two doctorates and is head of the Africana Studies Department at California State University, Long Beach.

CHEEKTOWAGA: The Buffalo, NY, area got totally slammed with snow and bitter temperatures last week. People died … but not these people. A Cheektowaga mechanic named Jay Withey took his truck out to try and rescue a friend who was stuck in the storm. Along the way he picked up a lightly clothed pedestrian. Then, his truck got stuck too, but cops said they couldn’t make it out to help anyone.

Withey asked several people for shelter for himself and ten others, some of them elderly, all of them out of gas and in danger of freezing to death. He even offered these people $500 just to let everyone sleep on their floors and use their bathrooms. They all said no.

Finally, Withey decided he had no choice but to break into a nearby school. He turned off the alarm, scrounged in the cafeteria for food, and found mats in the gym for everyone to sleep on. Then he wrote a note to the school, apologizing for the damage he’d caused. Personally, I think he should get a nice plaque or something. He saved thirteen lives … his own, ten other humans, and two dogs.

CATHOLIC: On the Sixth Day of Christmas, the Catholic calendar gives to us the Feast of the Holy Family. This feast is a special day to ponder the central importance God gave to family when He chose to have His Son born into and grow up as one. It’s also a time to think about the importance of having a mother and a father in the home. Since God is His Son’s true Baby Daddy, He could just as easily have had Mary be a single mom, providing for their needs Himself. But He didn’t.

VAXXX: It appears that the mRNA shots are triggering the wrong kind of immune response in those vulnerable sheeple who keep rolling up their sleeves. With each subsequent shot, their bodies make less “seek out and destroy” (IgG3) antibodies for the ‘rona virus and more “ignore this stuff” (IgG4) antibodies. And it appears that, the more often a person is boosted, the greater the shift from IgG3 to IgG4 becomes.

• IgG3 is the type of antibody that natural immunity and true vaccines produce.
• IgG4 is the type of antibody that allergy desensitization shots produce.

This phenomenon may explain both the repeat infections and the increased mortality we’re seeing among the highly vaxxxed and boosted population. Their bodies have learned to ignore rather than to clear out the virus. While they get milder cases of the ‘rona, they keep getting it again and again. And, at least in some people, the virus is able to proliferate enough to cause lethal damage to the cardiovascular system.

RAACISM: [8:02] – You want to blame racism? Fine, then start with Democrats whose welfare policies destroyed Black families by rewarding single motherhood. Black households aren’t poorer because of skin color. They’re poorer because single parent homes are almost always poorer than two parent homes and 64% of American children who are in single parent households are Black.

SPITZER: [38:47] – The anti-God trend in science and among scientists has reversed!

TRUMP: Dems and NeverTrumpers went all the way to the Supreme Court before they were able to get access to his tax returns. For years, court after court upheld Trump’s right to IRS privacy. Then, about 5 minutes after SCOTUS said, “Okay, YOU guys can see it“, they released it all to the public!

Maybe they needed help deciphering the mountain of data, cuz clearly, they thought there had to be something in there that would destroy him politically. I mean, they’re cheating, lying scumbags, so it is only natural that they assume everyone else is. Too bad for them, all we learned is that Trump lost $2 billion while serving in the White House.

On Friday, Trump called on the GOP Congress to release the Biden Crime Family’s tax returns. Hey … turnabout is fair play, so yeah, let’s see how much their net worths changed while allegedly “serving” the public and exactly where and when those changes occurred. Then, let’s see the Pelosis’!

TUCKER: [12:19] – 2022 was the year of Democrat Lies.

GRAMMY NOTES: I saw this on FB and it reminded me … When my sil had an elevated HCG, the OB ordered an early ultrasound. The tech took so long that she became concerned, because her previous pregnancy had miscarried. So she asked, “Is it okay?” The tech said, “Oh yeah, they’re all fine.” ::gulp:: “Uhh, how many is ‘all’?” When I heard she was having triplets, I burst into tears. She wore a size TWO. I thought no WAY she could carry three long enough! But, thank God, they all survived and thrived.

This painting entitled Little Lamb was painted by Jenedy Paige who had this to say about it:

A few years ago, I began to feel that I should attempt a Nativity painting. This of course was a very daunting idea, but I figured the best place to start was with research. I began with Luke 2:7,

“And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.”

I also came upon an article of archaeologist, Jeffrey R. Chadwick, and found it eye opening and inspiring. Jeffrey R. Chadwick has worked in Israel as a researcher and field archaeologist for over thirty years, specializing in the backgrounds of biblical narratives. He suggested that the manger would have most likely been carved out of white limestone, one of the most abundant natural resources in the Israelite region, and showed pictures of many similar mangers they have uncovered on archaeological digs. And while we like to think of the baby, “asleep on the hay”, he also states that this was also unlikely, as grass was available on the hills surrounding Judea year round. They really would have had no need to store hay, and the mangers were most likely used for water.

I also learned that while we often think of “swaddling bands” as scraps of fabric, showing the poverty of Mary and Joseph, they were actually a big part of Israelite culture. When a young woman was betrothed she immediately began embroidering swaddling bands, which were 5-6” wide strips of linen that would be embroidered with symbols of the ancestry of the bride and groom. Thus the bands symbolized the coming together of the two families as one. They also symbolized the integrity of the woman, as she strove to make both sides of the embroidery match exactly, symbolizing to her soon to be husband that she was as good on the inside as she was on the outside. These bands were then wrapped around the hands of the couple at the wedding ceremony. So the bands the Savior was swaddled in may have included the lion of Judah and the stem of Jesse.

As I wrapped my head around these rather mind altering ideas, I realized that many of the concepts that we have of the Savior’s birth revolve around paintings of European artists from centuries ago. I’m sure they painted according to the best of their abilities and knowledge, but I also wondered why more modern painters had yet to illustrate these concepts. I felt up to the task and began sketching right away. I picked up limestone from a stone yard, I bought linen from the fabric store, and just in time one of my good friends had a baby boy, and oddly enough, his name was Luke. I put all these components together and created this painting.

As I’ve sketched and worked, my heart has been so full as I’ve uncovered this image. For when you take away the Hollywood drama, the traditions of centuries, and the wood and the hay, all you’re really left with is a babe in white linen on white stone. And my mind immediately went to the purpose of the Savior’s life: He was born to die. He came as the sacrificial lamb for all mankind; so how fitting that He would begin his life on a stone altar of sorts, and be wrapped in white linen, like he would after His death. And of course He would be placed in a trough for water, for He would be Living Water, and would bring life to all. I also found myself weeping for the Father, and how it must have felt to see His Son begin life foreshadowing His death. My heart was so full of gratitude that He would send His Only Begotten to be the Savior for us all. That He would send His Son, the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, to die so that we all might live. What good news, what comfort and joy, what a gift was given to us all. O come, let us adore Him.

ABORTION: [1:30] – The Pro-Life Action League’s annual “Peace in the Womb” Christmas Caroling campaign is taking place at over 80 abortion facilities this year, continuing a 20-year tradition that has saved lives. Women walk out of abortion clinics and tell the singers that hearing the music caused her to cancel her abortion.

CLIMATE LIES: Last September, the United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres claimed climate, weather and water-related disasters had increased by 500% over the last 50 years. This piece of pure misinformation was then legitimized via false statistic by the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO), one of the founding bodies of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). And, of course, the IPCC is an intergovernmental body of the United Nations.

Professor Roger Pielke says that, for 2022, the total number of weather- and climate-related disasters and the total number of people who died as a result are similar to the averages for the last decade. The number of disasters is about 10% lower than the previous decade, while the overall death rate was not only one of the five lowest ever, but also a twentieth of what it was 2 decades ago!

PAVONE: Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò has issued a scorching declaration of Pope Francis’ persecution of Fr. Frank A. Pavone. He uses very strong language, using words like “persecutory”, “unjust”, “illegitimate”, and “hateful” and notes, “Bergoglian acolytes are distinguished in this manner: the graver their crimes, the more prestigious the positions they hold.”

UKRAINE: I’ve been inclined to support Ukraine, what with Russia apparently having been the aggressor. However, the fact that these news sites are all in on supporting Ukraine makes me question that position. Plus, you know, Democrats insisted on sending billions of dollars to Ukraine to fight Russia, then FAUXTUS released a seriously notorious convicted arms dealer from an American prison, so he could go home to help Russia beat Ukraine. All in all, I feel like we’re being played.

WOMEN’S SPORTS: The Professional Disc Golfer’s Association (PDGA), which previously celebrated a man claiming to be a woman who outperformed females in major women’s tournaments, has reversed course and instituted a new rule that will ban most males from playing in the women’s division.
