By ANDREA CAVALLIER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM PUBLISHED: 14:47 EST, 11 January 2023 | UPDATED: 14:53 EST, 11 January 2023 Ratings plummeted for the Golden Globes as viewers branded the show a ‘snoozefest’ of ‘politicized’ monologues. The awards show returned on Tuesday night after being boycotted by NBC last year over the diversity scandal with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HPFA). But viewers were not pleased and slammed the show for being boring. The ratings mirrored their sentiments, dropping to just 5.36 million in overnight ratings. That number is down 23 percent from 2021, which is the last time the Golden Globes aired, when the ratings were at just 6.9 million … Continue reading Woke Golden Globes plummets in the ratings to lowest EVER audience of just 5.3M as it falls 23% from 2021: Viewers brand it a ‘snoozefest’ of ‘politicized’ monologues

Lord Buckbeak

And while we all know Biden’s a liar, seeing some of the biggies like these in a thread of 21 is pretty damn frightening? Entertaining? Infuriating? All of the above?

A great commander in chief abroad does not always make a great president at home.

Lord Buckbeak

That is the case when it comes to Franklin Delano Roosevelt.  My cmnt: I agree with the author, Amity Shlaes, that FDR was a horrible president at home. As the transcript below shows he was a command-n-control, communist-loving autocrat when it came to battling the Great Depression, a depression that HE made great, by his domestic policies. Like Obama and especially O’Biden he handed out goodies from the treasury and by government policy to voting blocks who tended to vote democrat. My cmnt: However I disagree that he was a great commander in chief. He and his hand-picked generals made … Continue reading A great commander in chief abroad does not always make a great president at home.

Our Future: Billie Eilish on Climate Activism and Radical Hope

Lord Buckbeak

By Jen Wang – Jan 04, 2023 – Vogue My cmnt: I publish this nonsense because my readers need to be aware of the blatant hypocrisy of so-called “climate activists” who tend to be very wealthy, jet-flying, partyers who make little attempt to hide nor address their hypocritical lifestyles of extravagant, ostentatious displays of wealth and luxury in food, clothing, housing and travel. You may have heard by now that Billie Eilish is in a relationship.

Alex Berenson – substack on Damar Hamlin

Lord Buckbeak

Update on the Damar Hamlin piece Alex Berenson 7 hr ago A reader pointed me to this striking 2021 paper in the European Heart Journal reporting on two cases in which rugby players suffered severe heart rhythm disturbances following blunt chest trauma. In both cases the men had histories of myocarditis which appeared to have caused or worsened the arrhythmias. In the second case, the myocarditis was undiagnosed; the player died.The authors found that the episodes could be distinguished from classic commotio cordis (trauma to the chest wall causing a sudden heart rhythm crisis) by underlying myocardial scarring. They concluded … Continue reading Alex Berenson – substack on Damar Hamlin

Parietal

Lord Buckbeak

Here’s an interesting word. The is old English from the Latin and means “wall”. So first it means the wall of a body cavity. Then the wall of a hollow structure. And then it came to stand for the rules for opposite sex visiting in dormitories – rules that kept a “wall” of separation between the sexes. And finally it became the name of the prehistoric art painted on the walls of caves 30-40,000 yrs ago which came to be called parietal art. Handprints at Cueva De Las Manos.

The Feminist Economy: Men without Work

Lord Buckbeak

By GEORGE GILDER – January 23, 2017 – for National Review Men without Work: America’s Invisible Crisis, by Nicholas Eberstadt (Templeton, 216 pp., $12.95) From the Amazon review by Charles C. W. Cooke. Nicholas Eberstadt’s landmark 2016 study, Men Without Work, cast a spotlight on the collapse of work for men in modern America. Rosy reports of low unemployment rates and “full or near full employment” conditions, he contends, were overlooking a quiet, continuing crisis: Depression-era work rates for American men of “prime working age” (25–54).   The grim truth: over six million prime-age men were neither working nor looking for work. Conventional unemployment measures … Continue reading The Feminist Economy: Men without Work

Happy Kwanzaa! The Holiday Brought to You by the FBI

Lord Buckbeak

December 28, 2022by Ann Coulter – her column My cmnt: Ann publishes every year the truth about Kwanzaa and its origins and founder. This is a necessary service as the democrat-media-education complex lies about it every year. This complex continues to indoctrinate young skulls-full-of-mush (thank you to the late, great Rush Limbaugh) on the various campi throughout America never daring to reveal the whole truth about this FBI originated “holiday” just for black people. It seems like all I hear these days is how liberals are red-hot for teaching history, while retrograde troglodytes on the right are demanding that we … Continue reading Happy Kwanzaa!

A young man collapsed playing football before our eyes last night; and the immediate public response of those who have pressed Covid vaccines was to seek an explanation that did not involve the jabs. Alex Berenson 9 hr ago For Covid vaccine supporters, Monday night marked a new low. Maybe you saw the play firsthand.

Vaccinated English adults under 60 are dying at twice the rate of unvaccinated people the same age

And have been for six months. This chart may seem unbelievable or impossible, but it’s correct, based on weekly data from the British government. Alex Berenson Nov 20, 2021 The brown line represents weekly deaths from all causes of vaccinated people aged 10-59, per 100,000 people. The blue line represents weekly deaths from all causes of unvaccinated people per 100,000 in the same age range. I have checked the underlying dataset myself and this graph is correct. Vaccinated people under 60 are twice as likely to die as unvaccinated people. And overall deaths in Britain are running well above normal. … Continue reading Vaccinated English adults under 60 are dying at twice the rate of unvaccinated people the same age
