How long will it be before cold weather in winter is pathologized? Does it not follow? What used to be commonly called flu season and wasĀ once no cause for alarm because it happens every year – and for almost everyone, there’s nothing more to fear than maybe a week or so of feeling crappy – has become a suddenly ominous “surge” in “cases.”
“A quadruple whammy” – oy vey! – “of viruses are hitting the U.S. as millions go back to work after the holidays,” leers what amounts to the latter-days iteration of the bubble headed bleached blonde Don Henley sang about. She can tell you about the plane crash, with a gleam in her eye . . .
Then as now, the dictum is: If it bleeds it leads.
Or sniffles.
“Experts say figures will only continue to rise over the coming weeks as the US heads into the peak period of its annual flu season.”
And who are these “experts”?
The same ones who were complicit in the overhyping of “COVID” – the cold that did not kill 99.8-something percent of those who caught it. If they even caught it. The one people caught even if they wore the “mask” these same “experts” insisted would “stop the spread.” Until they were forced by facts that could no longer be suppressed to concede they didn’t.
Some of these same “expert” are now hinting that it’s time – or nearly time – to “mask up” again. Which is like advising a person trying to lose weight to not look at the Big Mac he’s about to eat. That “works” about as well as “masks” do insofar as preventing the inhalation and exhalation of particles too small to be caught by material that is effectively porous to them. If “masks” worked then how come that’s not all people who work in biohazard labs wear?
How come they wear moon suits with their own air supply?
Well, because moon suits do work. And so does not going anywhere near places where there is contagion – as opposed to walking around where there is a high risk of catching something wearing a stupid (because effectively useless) “mask” over your face. You might as well wear a literal mask – Spider Man, say.
It offers about the same protection.
Of course, wearing a Spider Man mask won’t get you inside the hospitals where “mask” mandates are being re-imposed on account of the “quadruple whammy” of “cases.”
The “data” – says the latter-day iteration of the bubble headed bleached blonde – “on infections and hospitalizations are staggering.”
Italics added, for effect.
“Norovirus cases are at their highest level for this time of year since 2012, while RSV hospitalizations are up nearly 40 percent in two weeks.”
“An estimated 3.1million people have been sickened by the flu so far this season, while 37,000 have been hospitalized and 1,500 have died. And the number of states with āvery highā levels of the disease has quadrupled in a week to eight.”
Oh, the humanity!
And let’s not forget that when the Hindenburg caught fire and crashed, people did die. More finely, people who were not already near-dead from ancient age or multiple chronic illnesses that inevitably kill people who are so afflicted. Catching a bad cold or the flu often pushes people who are teetering on the edge of the grave into it. This is sad, of course. But it is no more cause for hysterics than the weather turning colder in winter.
But hysteria garners ratings – and page clicks. It provides the pretext for “solutions”Ā – such as “masking” and other iterations of Sickness Kabuki – for problems that don’t exist but that are made to seem real by scaring the crap out of people and (in the case of “masks”) making it appear that people are scared.
Here’s an article put out by the Associated Press about the “Americans Who Still Take COVID Precautions Seriously” – which is to say, who are still “masking.” The article explains why without explaining why – which it does by not explaining that “mask wearing” is a ritual rather than a “precaution.” No once in the entire thing is there any mention of the data – the facts – that prove “mask wearing” makes essentially no difference exceptĀ as regards how one looks.
Instead, the article drools with sympathy and understanding for this morose – this grotesque – ritual that so many people won’t stop practicing precisely because of articles such as this one that affirm their derangement.
“While the pandemicās emergency phase ended in May 2023, the threat of infection remains a governing force in the lives of people like Scarbro. They protect themselves from the virus with masks and isolate themselves in small family bubbles. . . In online support groups, they trade research about the danger of repeat infections and cognitive impairment. They miss the empathy they felt during the early days of the pandemic. Some have lost friendships, but they strive to maintain the social ties that are important to mental health.”
Italics added.
If mental health were assigned any importance, people wouldn’t be encouraged to believe that walking around with a “mask” over their faces – forever, apparently – is a reasonable “precaution.” They would be told – gently but firmly – that the “practice” is pointless and that they can stop doing it.
But that would not serve the purpose of all this “masking.”
Which is why we’re still seeing it – and will probably never see the end of it.

Do you want to almost never be sick again from the inhaled things of the world ? I have got an answer for you , a Neil Med or other nasal rinse bottle . My wife and I (non-jabbed) avoided all the major Cov by washing out our sinuses nightly . And bonus it also prevents cold and the flu . Cov propagates in a couple of days in the exact area that you can wash out with the rinse bottle except Omicron was much faster from exposure to having symptoms than the earlier strains and we did catch it , but it was like a mild cold anyway . I am 60+ it has been about 10 years since I have had a cold or the regular flu . You have to use highly filtered water or boiled water in the rinse bottle . You SHOULD be drinking filtered water already unless you need a dose of fluoride .
Stone-faced Aztec ‘Xavier Becerra,’ who’s been impersonating the Secretary of HHS for the past four years, exist on a defiant note:
‘Mr. Becerra said Mr. Bidenās [covid] vaccine mandates, for federal employees, health care workers and large employers, were āabsolutelyā warranted. āShould we require people to wear seatbelts?ā he asked.
‘On Friday, Mr. Becerra announced that Medicare, the government insurance program, will negotiate lower prices for the blockbuster weight-loss drugs Ozempic and Wegovy, and more than 20 other prescription medications.
‘A former congressman and attorney general of California, he was also the nationās first Latino health secretary. He said he intended to return to his home state ā and hinted that he may run for governor.’ — New York Slimes
https://archive.ph/1E3fA#selection-915.132-915.336
Plenty of libertarian red meat to gnaw on here: compulsory vaccinations; compulsory seatbelts; compulsory taxation to pay for other people’s obesity meds.
After ‘president’ F. Joe Biden issued his infamous executive order of 9 Sep 2021 mandating covid ‘vaccines,’ I wrote to ‘Becerra’ expressing my profound objection. He didn’t answer.
How do talentless DEI hacks like ‘Becerra’ rise to the top of our political system? Something is very wrong here. If ‘Becerra’ becomes governor of Commiefornia — Ā”Ay, caramba! — I would advocate ceding the state back to MĆ©xico.
para 1 — ‘exits’ not ‘exist’
“How do talentless DEI hacks like āBecerraā rise to the top of our political system?”
In the cesspool of politics it’s not cream that is rising to the top.
Just think if there were no ICE fire engines, no helicopters to dump water on the fires and no jets to fight fires in Los Angeles, the entire city would be in ruins by now. Los Angelinos would be migrating to Patagonia.
Bibi would fire missiles at those aircraft, just pure evil there.
Mandate to ban all internal combustion engines, that way LA will burn to the tar pits.
Bibi started the fire, the entire world has to put it out, especially in LA. Thanks for the everlasting shitshow you got going on. Not!
Firefighters worldwide should hunt down and kill the dumbass.
Waaiiiittttt a second…hold the fort.
I think you just hit upon an extraordinarily great idea.
WE NEED TO FORCE THE POLICE TO USE EV’S!
All in the name of “saving the planet”, of course.
Why hasn’t anyone thought of this before…
Brilliant!!!!
Anybody here ever been infected with sepsis?
Your blood is infected, can be life threatening.
Blood poisoning, in the parlance of our times.
I think I was suffering from septicemia, you wonder if you will live. Every breath you take is a chore, a mask would impede any ease of breathing.
Anyway, a close friend was diagnosed with sepsis and was hospitalized for two weeks.
You are more than sicker than a dog.
The old corona virus infection is a piece of cake, believe me.
The sundogs of winter are in the sky.
There IS no “corona virus infection”.
Anything which doesn’t exist is a “piece of cake”.
Most people see through the pandemic kabuki but they don’t see the point to working.
The Trump ‘Team’ is firing RFK advisors, those that are against vaccines. Vaccines are the main reasons for deaths and disabilities. The covid poison has killed and/or disabled more in the USA than all its wars in the 20th century and that is only what’s known. The rest are blamed on a fake and gay nonexistent virus.
Better get used to the mask and vaxx crap. Hell, most voted for it. lol He (Trump) just had a nice meeting with upper crust super hero,,, Deathman Gates. Gates is all smiles which which is not a good sign for us regular folks.
Warning,,, don’t write idiots like Gates off because Super Hero El Trumpo is about to become a god. This new quademic crap is a clear and present danger to all. They are once again using Mullis’ PCR as a weapon,,, something he warned us about before he was killed.
Hi Ken,
Where are you seeing that they are firing RFK advisors? I can’t find an article on it.
As for Gates, he just went down to Mar A Lago to kiss the ring. It was Gates that set up the interview to meet with Trump, not the other way around. It was Gates who stated he was impressed with Trump, also not the other way around.
I chalk this up to Trump thinking, “Let me see what this f’er wants from me.” I would not hold a lot of stock in it. Trump has done this long enough that he knows who has his back and who will stab him in it.
LOL @ Trump.
Narrative pushing.

smart move going into the hearings. that way he can say “see, i’m not anti vax”.
that seems to be the hold against him, though he isn’t.
but vax safety is now anti vax.
RE: “vax safety is now anti vax”
It always was.
āAnti vaxxā , as commonly used, is a very broad brush.
It includes people who think āmost vaccines are ok but Iām not comfortable with that one because xyz reasonsā all the way down to āanyone who requests or administers any vaccine should be in prisonā and everyone in between.
By referring to them all with the same word it is implied that they are all the same, and that the worst argument the stupidest person came up with are representative of the entire group.
Itās a trick. And itās highly, highly effective. And they use it all the time, not just against antivaxxers. It allows them to sweep everyone under the rug without adding any kind of data, evidence, actual arguments, etc. to the conversation.
It also works because most people canāt tell the difference between junk science and the real thing. Some of that is because everyone thinks science is pretty cut and dried. At a basic level it is (think Newtonās laws). But at the research level it very much is not. Some of it is because people think you have to actually be a scientist, or better yet an expert in that exact subfield, to tell where the BS is. (Hint: you donāt. What you need is some logic, critical thinking, and a sort of open-minded skepticism grounded in evidence. Some kind of statistics background wouldnāt hurt though.). Some of it is because they arenāt familiar with the typical ways in which scientific junk is produced. Most of it is because they are just intellectually lazy.
Donāt let them get by with it.
Any real research into “vaccines” leads to the pretty much universal result of being 100% anti-vaccine. Anyone that isn’t 100% anti-vaccine hasn’t done any REAL research, instead limiting themselves to only the most recent events they’re intellectually capable of processing.
The Mirriam-Webster dictionary expanded the term “Anti-vaxxer” a few years ago to INCLUDE people who AREN’T against vaccines per se but merely oppose VACCINE MANDATES.
Had the Supreme Court not ruled against the Biden Thing’s COVID vaxx mandates for large employers, it would have likely emboldened the Biden-Harris regime to decree all sorts of other mandates of what people put in their bodies, also sending the message that we’re little more than farm animals for the government & Big Pharma to experiment with as they please.
In a master slave relationship… the slave is the master’s property…the master can do anything it wants with the slave…even kill it

drink this poison it is for public safety…you will feel great….it will improve your health….

Naw. It’s ‘secretary’ Lloyd J Austin III.
Goodbye, effing clown. You did a lot to us. š
the entire manufactured bat germ crisis was one giant, occult ritual from start to finish, divided up into four mini-rituals, each with the distinct occult purpose of initiation and transformation of the world and its people into a new global order.
So, letās start by examining the four distinct, but interrelated, occult rituals that make up this massive global occult ritual initiation ceremony:
Ritual Mask-Wearing
Ritual Hand-Washing
Ritual āSocial Distancingā
Ritual Lockdowns
The Ritual Wearing of the Mask
ā in the Bible has to do with shutting the mouth as one undergoes a secret religious initiation. Again, itās: āthe idea of silence, imposed by initiation into religious rites.ā
numerous medical experts, including the Surgeon General of the United States, have openly stated that wearing masks has no beneficial effect whatsoever
Whatās more, numerous medical experts have attested to the fact that face masks can even be dangerous to oneās health in that they curtail clear thinking (and even consciousness) by trapping carbon dioxide in the chamber of the mask, forcing you to re-breathe it over and over, thus depleting your blood of fresh air and the life-giving oxygen component it contains.
Masking has traditionally played a very important role in occult rituals.
Among other things, the wearing of the mask over oneās mouth is a token of submissionā¦a gesture of your willingness to be subject to others who are not your usual Sovereign.
But thereās more. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, mask-wearing is:
āA form of disguise or concealment usually worn over or in front of the face to hide the identity of a person and by its own features to establish another being.ā
In other words, the wearing of a mask represents an occult transformation ā a human alchemy, if you will ā from one role to another. From one manner of being, to another.
Wearing the mask is a powerful occult symbol indicating your submission to another power
The entire point of occult ritual mask-wearing is to hammer home to your subconsciousness ā until it becomes completely true in your daily life ā the idea that things are no longer the same, and will never be the same again.
Masks hasten the suppression of ego to help facilitate the death of the old identity before the identification with, and the manifestation of, a new identity.
hand washing
Hand washing is the occult ritualistic symbol of rejection.
When you fall for the hand-washing ritual, youāre symbolically washing away your old life,
The āSocial Distancingā Ritual
thereās no more widely used occult number in the world than the number āsix.ā As you know, the antichristās very number is āsix hundred, three score and six,ā or 6-6-6.
The Ritual of Lockdowns and āSocial Isolationā
āStay home. Stay safe. Save lives.ā
The global occult ritual of lockdowns symbolize isolation from everything normal so you can be āpurifiedā from your old waysā¦surrender your former status to the new orderā¦sacrifice your very self to the new orderā¦and finally, willingly submit to the new order through obedience to it. And this will go on until the ānew youā evolves like a Phoenix from the drama and trauma, straight into the new reality
mask mandates issued by a non science based medical system founded by a satanist and promoted by the son of a snake oil salesman/rapist…..
in the slave trade they put a mask on slaves to show them they were property, not human.
put a mask on slaves to show them they were property,…..also circumcised……..
The French King in 1307 said the control group were satanists and sodomites…he arrested and burnt a bunch of them at the stake….
..one of the few times in history the control group got some pushback…
The royal bloodlines of the slave owners…the masters…. go back to the Pharaohs who were satanists….
The Pharaohs circumcised the slaves …the mark of the slave….the the slave owners still do it today….it is the same monsters ruling….
Now they don’t just chop off the tip….they chop the whole thing off….. the desecration of God’s creation….
The slave owners erect obelisks all over the place….usually in front of government buildings…showing they are still in power today…the obelisk is a phallic symbol, with the top tapered…showing it is circumcised….slaves don’t even know what it is…..lol
obelisks New York……..

At the airport last week, a family of 5 walked by. Mom, dad, and three kids Iād say ranged in age from 6 to 12. All five wearing a Wal-Mart brand dust mask with yellow rubber bands affixing the dust mask to their face. The people on their flight would have done well to open the door at 35,000 feet and boot at least the parents out.
Today, two people in a car went past me, both wearing blue face diapers up to their eyeballs.
So yes, diapers will be a permanent fixture for the few and the proud.
thankfully, no one I know – even the shot takers – is worried about the current health “thing”
You are being told by the MSM that CO2 increases will result in runaway global warming. Uh huh. Just walk outside, what do you observe and feel? Cold. Freezing arctic air mass has descended on the freezing tax slaves of Amerika. Here is the latest chart:

The political scum are doing everything they can to make energy prices higher so you use less, because you see, they are saving the planet. And boy do they hate wood stoves, because if you cut your own wood, you are outside of their control.
Must be a different world in the great NE. Hardly see these nut jobs here anymore. You’re about as likely to see a mask-tard around here as you are a Wampus Cat. Visited a friend in the hospital ICU a couple times in recent weeks. The women at the entrance to the hospital, where you check in, were unmasked. The charge nurses behind the desk, where my friends room was, masks hanging around their necks or nowhere to be seen.
There was a sign out front. Something about ‘please be kind and support those who work here by wearing a mask.’ I’m not sure appealing to kindness will get them anywhere after how this same hospital went full mask retard during the pandemic. Saw very few in the elevators and hallways.
I got a fairly mild flu last week lasted 3 days then stuffy nose for a week. Please people this was no big deal. But my husband asked at one point if I wanted a covid test. So not!
Just that little lingering anxiety they planted in his brain during covid. Really sad and criminal actually the way they messed with peoples minds. They just keep pumping fear porn gotta keep people anxious and afraid. About something whatever sticks to the wall this weekā¦monthā¦year.
We gotta keep our chin up and our heads clear! I refuse to let these bastards mess with me!
You didn’t get the flu.
You were suffering from acute acidosis brought on by increased indoor CO2 levels.
It’s clear you don’t have a CO2 meter in your house.
If you put a CO2 meter in your living space and open your windows when CO2 levels go above 750ppm, you won’t “get the flu” anymore, because it doesn’t exist.
You’ve just been fooled into THINKING it exists.
I hope your husband just has a wicked, twisted sense of humor.
Wife and I had serious differences during the late damnpanic. She made a point of āstanding up to meā and wearing the mask. It did nothing good for our relationship.
What’s up wif Big Mike?
‘In August, Barack and Michelle Obama appeared together on stage at the Democratic convention, marking the last time they have made a public appearance together.
‘After skipping a state funeral for Jimmy Carter in Washington last week, Mrs Obama has confirmed that she will not attend the presidential inauguration on Monday, leaving her husband to face the fanfare alone again.
‘Hillary Clinton and Laura Bush will both join their husbands on Monday.
‘A spokesman gave no reason for her absence, after explaining that she was unable to appear for Carterās funeral because of a scheduling conflict. It has since emerged that Mrs Obama was on holiday in Hawaii without her husband.’
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/politics/2025/01/16/michelle-obama-to-skip-trumps-inauguration/
I can now reveal that Big Mike is skipping the inauguration because ‘she’ is suffering from a painful hangnail.
Wake up and face the fanfare.
Rumor has it he is busy banging Aniston. Personally, I think she is the cover because their involvement in the Puff Daddy stuff should drop sometime this year. My guess is Barack swings both ways and that would be bad for business is news broke. I expect them to stay married, but continue separate lives. She is probably contacting Tipper and Hillary seeking advice on how to stay married to a man that one can’t stand.
Tipper’s advice: two Klonopins washed down with a couple of bottles of rosĆ© will dull the pain.
Meanwhile, Barky’s new squeeze is the dominant sort: ‘Now lift your gown, put on your mask, and bend over while I “examine” you.’ :-0

He could do a lot worse….it could be a pic of the Bleached Bit Queen. Instead of a mask he would have to wear a paper bag.
Funny that ‘authorities’ were going to be going through Diddy’s place looking for evidence of wrong-doing at his ‘parties’ only a few days after these terrible wildfires burned everything down. I’m sure there’s more than a few people, some quite rich and famous, that are greatly relieved that any record of their attendance at Diddy’s house or ‘parties’ will never come to light.
Don’t forget Elizabeth Edwards as well as the Senator’s Baby Mama, Rielle Hunter.
Unfortunately, Joan Kennedy has passed.

Barack Obama Posts Unflattering Photo of Michelle Amid Divorce Rumors
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/01/barack-obama-posts-unflattering-photo-michelle-amid-divorce/
Hi anon,
When people start slathering on the gooeyness with kissey faces and “I love yous” you know the SHTF.
Who invited Uncle Jemima to dinner?
Hey, testicular torsion is serious and painful. Mike would definitely be excused for avoiding public events with something like that going onā¦
They will never let it go, because they are clearly intending to bring it back when the circumstances will allow them to do so. Right now, it’s too fresh in people’s minds just how many people were murdered by the covid hoax and its numerous homicidal practices; like remdesivir, like intubation, like experimental gene therapy, etc.
Just exactly how economically disastrous, an absolute catastrophe/calamity, that we’re still being affected by, is right in everyone’s face. So, they keep the lies simmering on the backburner, waiting until they can pull the trigger again.
They really just need the right stage props and push. It won’t even really need an actual pathogen, just the right *looking* stage and story.
And you can thank the utter fucking idiots that continue to practice the sickness kabuki. Well, them and the “foot in the boot” (that is on your neck) aka “the thin blue line” that never met any amount of ridiculous oppression that they will avoid in the slightest.
That it’s all in our faces is exactly how they want it. Go ahead Orange Man, prove us all wrong about you.
Hi XM,
It seems another lie these sociopaths will never let go of is the cliiiiiiiiimate change BS. There are already efforts by corporate media & the establishment to make people think that cliiiiiiiiimate change caused those fires in Southern California instead of incompetent or malicious politicians.
Hey John,
Yup, totally. It seems like these things, covid hoax, climate change, and whatever hysteria du juor, all use the same underlying playbook. And, from the perspective of the people doing this, why not? Like so much bad and wrong about govt., as long as it moves “the ball” in the direction they want incrementally, that’s all that matters.
I’d bet anything they amount of money invested in the psychology of these operations, if it could ever be totaled, would be staggeringly, obscenely beyond what any normal person can imagine. There again, from their point of view, why not? They’re not spending Klaus’ money; they’re spending mine and your money.
Unlimited supply of funds!
And then, the icing on this cake of obscenity (heck reminds me of the LGBQTFAG+ thing), is that there’s enough people that volunteer to help them set the stage. They put on the costume, hound other people, call their employers, call the police, make peoples’ lives miserable for lack of compliance, and they do it for free!
I think the only bright side is that, by overplaying their hands in haste, lots more people have finally seen through this shit. More than would have otherwise.
Other hoaxes or big lies are “Trump-Russia collusion!”, “Safe and Effective COVID vaccines”, “The 2020 election wasn’t stolen”, “Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation!”, “January 6th was an INSURRECTION!”, “Masks work!”, “Kamala Harris was a popular presidential candidate”, “The economy is grrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat under Joe Biden!”, etc.
You are correct about the unlimited supply of funds. It is obscene. Keep in mind its just a way fo them to steal without getting caught. They give this GovCo $$$ away to these so called ‘researchers,’ NGOs, thinktanks, and such, then these groups give a goodly portion of it back to the slimy little shits in the form of campaign contributions, and donations to the clowngress critters family foundations. It amounts to little more than structured money laundering. I dont see it ending until Dollah Dollah Bill Yo takes his last dying gasp.
After COVID, I’ve heard of efforts by some to implement permanent mask mandates during cold & flu season despite the fact that it’s been known for YEARS that face diapers have NO impact on respiratory viruses such as COVID & flu. What next, efforts to implement mask mandates over BIRD FLU? I’ve also heard people make the case that the whole mask mandate thing was a tool used by authoritarian government to maximize fear among the public, which, unfortunately, authoritarians successfully used to some degree.
they have separated us by sex, political party, class, race, income, education, and now they will separate these groups from within.
all that will be left is each of us, not being able to meet new people or talk to anyone in person.
we will all be the equivalent of the 20 something in mom’s basement existing only through an online presence.
much easier to manipulate that way.
They can take their masks and their vaxxes and shove them up their asses.
I second this motion.
won’t fit.
head already in there.
Good one Dan, sadly also true š
I had an ear issue that didn’t go away with the usual treatments, so I had to visit the otolaryngologist. He operates out of the hospital annex. I was fully prepared to walk away if there were mask requirements to enter. To my surprise not a mask to be found anywhere in the reception area. When I got to his office there was a sign that read simply “We are following CDC guidelines. If you wish to wear a mask you’re welcome to do so.”
There’s still hope for sanity.
āWe are following CDC guidelines. If you wish to wear a mask youāre welcome to do so.ā
Thereās still hope for sanity.
Iād argue otherwise. I know itās sort of a legal talisman to warn off the true COVID flakes and mask wearers but āfollowing CDC guidelinesā means they learned nothing.
The CDC and their āscienceā has been so discredited itās laughable.
By your logic we should be wearing masks.
As the old Soviet joke went, If the weather ministry says sunshine, bring an umbrella!
Yeah maybe I wasnāt clear
My point was any doctor āfollowing CDC guideline’sā is a coward and likely is just posting the sign to appease the loons that would complain and bother his office frauās that people arenāt wearing masks.
But rest assured, that the minute the CDC recommends masking again – they will be in full compliance and ready to lick the masters boot.
No principles, no independent thought, no independent action will be allowed.
I get it, but one thing our side is terrible with is taking the win.
Take the win for Pete’s sake!
Do you think the CDC “guidelines” would have changed if we hadn’t put up a hundred studies showing masks have no impact on virus spread? The damn American public health bureaucracy would still be trying to one-up the Chinese lockdowns.
how does a serious medical professional give any credence to the CDC at this point?
Hey RK,
I’ve had problems with my ears since I was child. In particular “middle ear infections” left and right. Later on in life, about 8 years ago, I had a thing called a “cholesteatoma” which is a benign tumor in the mid ear (behind the ear drum) that, if not removed, will kill a person.
My hearing on a good day is a bit less than 50% in both ears. Come to find out that the preferred go-to treatment for middle ear infections, i.e., antibiotic drops, destroys the hearing nerves. Apparently the most common these days, the fluoroquinolones, like Ciprodex are the worst in that regard.
But with a middle ear infection, what are you gonna do, right? I take herbs for most things and the herbs for that don’t work so well. After many years of experimenting, I found out that, if I take a Q-Tip and just dampen it with the drops and apply that a couple/few times (i.e., not following the directions which say to put 3-5 drops and let it sit for a minute), every single infection went away!
All this time, all these years the ENT/MDs have been destroying my hearing, to save my hearing, it was all unnecessary and super-overkill (to say the least). Also irreversible.
So, I get that you didn’t say what sort of thing you were going in for, but long story shortened, be careful with those fuckers. They don’t give one little shit about long term outcome, just that they write the script and tell you to have a nice day.
And that’s not even including the part of my story where an ENT’s script sent me to the ER!
Hi XM,
Glad to hear that you figured out something that works for you. George Carlin nailed it years ago with his observation that thereās no money in a cure, but lots for treatment.
This guy seems like he’s pretty good. I thought I had a fungal infection in my middle/outer ears that was inflaming things and causing my tinnitus. Turns out to be just dry skin, made worse by my attempts to clean out wax and treat a non-infection. He just prescribed mineral oil drops a few days a week. Stopped the itch and skin problems almost immediately.
The tinnitus is just bad timing, I’m at that age now. Like most men I haven’t really done a good job of protecting my hearing over the years.
āImportant to mental health?ā
I haven’t said anything to anyone, but I’ve been struggling as this is the third year as a widower. I tried dating again. 0 for 3. The last one stung pretty bad. Too old for this shit so I gave up.
Anyhow, the point is reading all what’s wrong with the world isn’t helping with my own mental health. For all my life I was an optimistic happy go lucky type. Now I can only see dark clouds with each silver lining. Somehow gotta get out of this funk. Please, anyone, is there anything good to talk about?
Hi Mike,
First, I’m sorry to hear about your situation. Second, I think there is a lot that’s good to talk about. Specifically, the way events are having the effect of getting more people than ever (so far as I can tell) to question things. This is going to result in a huge improvement, just not right away. I often use the analogy of a big ship such an ocean liner; these do not turn on a dime. But even small steering inputs eventually result in big changes. Have faith, my friend. There are good people out there. Some are here. I have no doubt you will find a good woman, too.
Now is the time to be good to yourself. To work on things that are good for you – such as your health and your interests. As things better, things tend to naturally fall into place. We’re here for you!
Yes Mike! The good is that we (humans) are pretty resilient.
Iām so sorry about the loss of your wife. When I first met my wife the inside joke was that she was so āNormalā. There are a ton of psychoās and unstable people in the world. Turns out about 1/2 of them are women. Go figure! lol!
My mother suffered with mental health issues. Iāve seen the dark side of that world too.
Hereās the thing – focus on what brings you joy. Focus on what gives you positive energy.
If that is spending time with family; spend more time with them. If the family sucks energy; spend less time with them. If working on cars brings you joy; do more if it!
Hate to say it, but if EP autos Diaper Report is too much negativity; donāt read them. Read only the car related content or whatever brings you joy.
The biggest message is that you can control what you focus on. Donāt let that stuff be what drains you.
Now allow me to turn the table: āPlease, anyone, is there anything good to talk about?ā
What brings you joy?
Hey Mike, Sorry about your wife. I know I’d struggle without mine. One good thing, spring is coming on soon. The cycle of being born, living life, death, and rebirth is wonderful to observe in nature. Do’nt know or remember where you live, if its sunny, nothing beats going out and sitting in the sun, or sitting on a boat in the water. If you have a dog, the local dog park is a place full of mostly cheerful, friendly, and unmasked people.
Hi Mike,
First a hug from me to you. I am so sorry. If you ever feel the need to talk (or vent) we are here to listen.
One, the winter (especially this year) is horrible. I believe you are in NC, correct? The snow and cold temperatures haven’t been this bad for a decade. Just remember that Spring is just a few months away. I am seriously contemplating a long weekend trip to Florida. This weather stinks!
In the meantime, I agree with Eric, BID, and Norman. This is the time to throw yourself into something you have always wanted to do, but haven’t made time for in the past. I have wanted to learn how to play the drums for close to three decades now. I finally have a drum set. Now I just need to find the time to sit down and throw on a couple YT videos. I am never going to be John Bonham or Ginger Baker, but if I can learn how to play “In the Air Tonight” I think that would be pretty cool. š
If you are interested in traveling, cooking, auto mechanics, baseball, comics, hiking, or karate – sign up and get going. Putting the focus on something you enjoy will take time away from thinking the world has gone crazy.
Enroll in a few clubs…not to look for romance, but friendship or companionship. People with similar interests who are up for a cold beer and a good conversation. Romance will find its way to you when you don’t expect it. That is just how the world works. When we seek out something it seems harder to find. When we get involved in something else and have moved on from the idea is when it usually appears.
Turn off the news. Throw on a favorite movie, good music, or just sit and read. I love a good book. I can easily sit for hours and get lost in someone else’s story.
Take a trip – solo, with family, or a good friend. Get out and change your environment. A weekend (or week) somewhere outside of your comfort zone does the body good and the mind even better.
Hang in there. Each day gets a bit easier. We are thinking of you.
Dog, frisbee, sunny day.
If that doesnt help force your metabolism up and outa the low energy mode.
You can do it without replacing whats no more.
Actually, Mike, Rain may have a point.
It is very easy to get a woman. Either ride around with a dog in your car…the cuter the better. All puppies work.
Seriously, is this not the cutest face you have ever seen?

Also, toting around baby is also a winner. Do not kidnap, but Rent A Baby, for a hour or two. Let the actual parents know what you are doing. Walk around the park. if you want women throwing their bras at you carry the baby and walk the puppy on a leash…I bet it works. You will have three phone numbers by the end of the hour.
Its like my dad told me when I was young, and I told my son, ‘Women are like buses, you may miss one, but another will be along shortly’
Hi RG,
āRent a Babyā LOL, years ago when my friends and I all had babies we noticed how cute young girls would all come up and ooh and aah over our babies as we were walking them around and decided that would be a great way to meet chicks. Was too late for us being already married but thought it would be great for any young single guys to give it a try.
Hi Mike,
It is a freaking chick magnet. Men with babies and puppies are more approachable, plus I believe there is a link from a woman’s brain to her ovaries. I have no scientific data that backs this up, but I am sure there has been a study conducted by Congress on why this works. All men look better with a baby on their arm.
I’m in Alabama. Too old for babies. My boys don’t swim anymore.
Thanks to all. Wasn’t looking for a pity party. Just down in the dumps. It’ll pass.
Hi Mike (not in Boston),
That is my fault. I was jokingly responding to Mike in Boston on the post above. I wasn’t paying attention that the names were the same.
I can say this with certainty: women in their late 50’s and early 60’s are just as shallow & fickle as they were in their 20s-40s. Maybe more so. You’d think that’d wane with age, but it doesn’t.
Hmpph, “fickle”
For sure. And, the hot flashes take ’em into overdrive nutz territory. They’re dangerous.
It is recommended to take a vacation, studies show you will probably live longer.
There’ll be something new and different out there.
You can get away from it all.
Well, I’ve never been to Spain
But I kinda like the music – Hoyt Axton, Never Been To Spain
Mike,
I’m sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine what it must be like. Prayers for you that you come through this a better man.
Hi Mike,
So sorry about losing your wife, it sucks and thereās no way around that. Not sure what your tastes are but Iāve always found comfort in classical music, can just tune out the world for awhile and get lost in it. I believe in God and that we will all be reunited with our loved ones at the end of our lives here on earth, praying that will give you the strength and hope to carry on.
Honestly, Mike, taking a step back away from the computer/social media and taking a breather is not a bad thing. I have times where I do just that, and do not bother checking up on much of anything. I will delete and pass by the usual newsletter e-mails, skip the social media stuff, and just take a break from it all. For I know that the world (and country) will still be burning down when I come back. I think being on-line too much is not good for one’s health. I take walks, write, read a good book-the hand held kind-and remember that I still have my health, and a few good awake (but not woke) friends out there to have a meal with. I hear you on the dating scene, though. I checked out of that a long time ago. And sadly, now these days you have to ask a potential mate, “are you vaxxed or not” to the equation. Along with wondering if the man is really a man, or if the woman is really a man. Pronouns? Good grief, it is just easier to be alone, sadly. I say take a breather, Mike. It is not a bad thing, and it can help clear your mind of the clutter that so-often likes to invade ones thoughts and minds to convince us that there is only negative in life.
Hereās the problem: I have a hernia.
āTheyā told about this hernia 30 years ago after an emergency appendectomy. That appendectomy was done via lathroscopic surgery where they inflate your abdomen like a balloon.
What are the odds that ātheyā caused it either by over inflation of my guts or maybe by nicking muscle tissue with their tools or cameras?
I was told at the time that I should schedule the next surgery to fix it as soon as possible . . . . That was 30 years ago. It really has only become an issue and starting to bother me at all about 1 1/2 – 2 years ago after I did some really heavy lifting with poor lifting form that I should not have done.
How am I going to get this fixed when:
1) there is at least some non-trivial chance ātheyā caused it.
2) āTheyā have proven themselves to have absolute obedience to the medical-industrial-pharma complex and will do what ever they are told. Up to an including executing protocols that have been proven to be fatal (forced intubation and prescribing Run-death-is-near) during COVID. This also includes forced mandates of jab.
3) There is no telling at what minute they may declare the next pandemic which could leave me as a recently incapacitated prisoner within their system should they do this while Iām in the hospital.
At this point Iām not sure how long I can simply live with this (like those in the 1600s would have) or when I might have to simply cave to their quackery due to an emergency due to a strangulated intestine or something like that.
See where this is going? They have literally destroyed my trust for their system.
Iām not sure they ever deserved any trust or respect in the first place other than they did save my life with the appendectomy albeit with the potential that they caused another problem while they were in there.
Total catch 22! āThey literally have no idea how much goodwill they destroyed with the COVID hoax.
Hi Burn,
I feel exactly the same way. I’d rather just live and deal with whatever happens myself than be at the mercy of these mercenary (and tyrannical) quacks. A pox on their poultices!
If the latest viruses isnāt enough, the air quality screechers are hitting the boob tubes screaming about air quality due to the fires in California and elsewhere. They are trying to get the population alarmed over the coming deaths over the smoke and other particulates in the air and the potential respiratory illnesses that can be caused by it. They famous reporter H.L Menkin may not had known it at the time, but he was prophet concerning this day and age.
The Lovely š„° Mrs got hit with Norovirus this past weekend. Ugly stuff with multiple trips to the bathroom. š¤¢ She was sick for a day or two, reduced to eating soup š„£ and crackers and some tea āļø, then recovered her strength and appetite and is fully recovered as of today. I stayed healthy by washing my hands any time I was around her, washing the bedding and her clothes to keep them clean, and sleeping apart from each other.
My wife wouldnāt wish norovirus on anyone (esp. the multiple trips to the bathroom) but she wasnāt scared. She alternated between angry at the coworkers who got her sick and looking for sympathy. š«
Weāve both had COVID or the flu š¤§ or whatever has been going around. I had a bout around Thanksgiving and a bout in December. Iām still here and so is she.
Would you stop pushing the bs “virus” narrative please?
GET AN INDOOR CO2 MONITOR, which you clearly don’t have.
When CO2 goes over 750ppm, open your windows and ventilate.
If you do this, you won’t get sick from non-existent “viruses” anymore.
I always see these people in the comment sections pushing the virus narrative, and I wonder how many of them are real people, and how many are Sayanim bot accounts here pushing the virus narrative…
Mumps, measles, syphilis, diphtheria, tuberculosis, polio, smallpox, influenza, pneumonia, salmonella, cholera, lung cancer, liver cancer, heart cancer.
Parasites aplenty out there.
Where you been the last 18000 years?
There are no VIRUSES, which was was spoken of: “The Lovely š„° Mrs got hit with Norovirus this past weekend. ”
Many things, like ‘cancer’, is indeed caused by parasites.
Polio, for instance, is caused by DDT, however.
The point was about VIRUSES and the VIRUS NARRATIVE.
I never said there weren’t parasites.
Where you been the last…18 minutes?
I think it was on helena glass’ website a few weeks where she was going through studies of polio. Her (and these studies’) conclusions dating back to the 1700’s, were that polio is caused by the lack of breastfeeding babies, coupling that with giving babies either fake milk or cow milk within the first year of development. It was fascinating when comparing spikes and lows in polio to that of the anti-breastfeeding movements of the late 1800’s. Then, when everyone became too poor in the Great Depression to use formula, they had to go back to natural breastfeeding and voila, polio started to go away.
Hey Dude,
This is Eric Peterās Autos, not 4Chan.
Hey, dude, if you have facts to present, then present them.
If you have an opinion to state, then state it.
Stop trying to manipulate people. Grow up.
Whatever you autistic troll.
Go argue with the other autist who rambles on about 4 cylinders.
Half-truths, lies of omission and selective stats make for a witches brew of horror. It’s the stock-in-trade of the Media. A scared population is a controllable population.
One thing I learned after 30+ years of a-theism is that the most common phrase in The Bible is “fear not” or some variation. Think about that. The most powerful force in the Universe, God, is telling you to not live your life in fear. Is this not the exact opposite of those in GovCo and their steno pool called The Media? Doesn’t that make GovCo et al rather, shall we say, Satanic?
The Truth will set you free.
Astute observation. Note what is done not what is said.
‘the most common phrase in The Bible is āfear notā or some variation’ — Mark in BC
Jesus is quoted as saying this. On the other hand, the Bible induces fear by stating that Judgment Day will not go well for most of humanity’s miserable rabble. One imagines getting roasted on a spit over a hot fire for all eternity, like ol’ Woody Wilson.
The Bible cries out in pain as it strikes you.
Truth.
Itās no coincidence that our society has become more fearful as it has turned its back on God.
I would rather take my chances and know there is a loving God and follow Him and the teachings of His Son. If I’m wrong, no big deal. However, if I deny His existence and I’m wrong…
Besides, the advice given in Proverbs and following Christ’s command to love others as He loves them is a pretty good path for life.
On earth as it is in heaven.
