GOVEROTRAGEOUS: The injured were left to bear the loss.

Monday, September 14, 2026

Congress Gave Big Pharma Immunity. Vaccine Victims Got the Bill
The compensation system built to fail Americans
Dr. Robert W. Malone
Sep 12, 2026

*** begin quote ***

This is the story of a bargain Congress made with the American people in 1986 and quietly gutted in 2005. The original bargain was not perfect, but it recognized a basic moral fact: if government protects an industry by taking away an injured person’s ordinary right to sue, government assumes a corresponding duty to provide a fair and meaningful alternative. In 2005, Congress retained sweeping immunity for big pharma, while substituting a narrower, harsher, less transparent program effectively beyond the reach of any court. The manufacturers kept the protection. The injured were left to bear the loss.

*** end quote ***

Sorry, but how do “We, The Sheeple” hold the politicians and bureaucrats accountable for giving “us” “the short end of the stick”?  Like the criminals they are, they hide their identities (often with out a recorded vote and all sorts of other subterfuges) and escape from the “crime scene” (i.e., Congress) with a pension, a bag of loot, and everything they can take including the kitchen sink if they can.

Where is the Vax Injured, their families, and the Tapayers’ hook to bring them back to face some sort of “justice”.  If such is possible?

These are “honest mistakes” or “little white lies”, this is corruption, malfeasance, and deliberate criminal action.

Argh!

MEME: Again, many a true word is said in a meme?

Sunday, September 13, 2026

https://www.malone.news/p/friday-funnies-trust-me?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email#media-fd833cec-208b-4e7c-8c2c-468f1bd8b356

I’m surprised that people don’t kill themselves by accident.

Just the other day, I saw a pack of school kids on their scooters, with helmets, all looking at their screen while zipping along at about 20 miles per hour.

Lot of good this helmets will do when there is nothing Under them to protect.

Sigh!

Almost as bad as the drivers who are so engrossed in their screen that they completely miss the light from red to green and back to red.  It’d never happen in the Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee.

Argh!

ConspiracyTheory: Was the NFL game in Australia a version of a ”Potemkin village”?

Saturday, September 12, 2026

When I was watching the Thursday Night Game of the Week … …

… … many questions came to mind:

“watching 49/rams. too late for me.” Starts after 2030 Local and Halftime was after 2130. Past my bedtime!

They’re in Australia? It was a 10AM local game time. How did they get such a crowd on a week day work day morning?

Was it a ”Potemkin village” event — all show and no substance?

How much was subsidized by the Australian Taxpayer for commercials saying “Come Say G’Day”? What was the USA Taxpayers’ share — tax breaks, cash subsidies, special handling, “developmental loans” that never get paid back.

What incentives lured in a “enthusiastic sell out crowd”? Hired extras? Who paid for the garb, souvenirs, props?
I just wonder about the “whole show” and how much of it was staged?

I remember reading that the NFL lost its proverbial shirt on placing the games in Europe. Free tickets, paid attendees, carefully curated crowd shots, and all manner of other “marketing gimmicks”.

We have astroturf “citizens’ groups”. Why can’t we have astroturf “fans” too?

Argh!

Can’t trust anything anymore.

Couldn’t the whole thing be an AI video?

SAD: 25 years ago … … it’s history

Friday, September 11, 2026

https://manhattan.edu/

*** begin quote ***

Jaspers, Family, and Friends,

We gather today in quiet reflection to honor all those profoundly affected by the tragic events of September 11, 2001.

With heartfelt solidarity, we extend our thoughts and prayers to the victims, their loved ones, and the courageous individuals who responded in the aftermath, many of whom still carry the weight of that day.

We also specifically remember the Manhattan University alumni whose lives were tragically lost on September 11, 2001, and whose legacy will forever remain a part of our community.

*** end quote ***

They say you can only read history when you’re down and out.

A dogma during my military service was “after action reports” and “lessons learned”.

What have we learned?

I’d assess it as “very little”.

  • “We” are still up to our necks in a “meddling Middle East policy disaster” with no end in sight.
  • “Our” Gooferment still lies on almost everything; even trivial stuff.
  • Congress is an impotent geriatric old-age home for has-been politicians.
  • Deficit, Debt, Inflation, Money Printing, and other fiscal crimes are still the oder of the day. (The taxpayers’ shit sandwich!)
  • Bread and circuses are used to amuse the common folk while the those people run amok.

Where does it stop?

IDK

Argh!

POLITICAL: What happens when the “elite” don’t like how Joe-Sixpack votes?

Wednesday, September 9, 2026

https://www.malone.news/p/a-modest-proposal?publication_id=583200&post_id=214726958&isFreemail=true&r=3snn7d&triedRedirect=true

A MODEST PROPOSAL
A SATIRE, IN THE MANNER OF JONATHAN SWIFT, 1729.
Dr. Robert W. Malone
Sep 08, 2026

*** begin quote ***

On the sixth of September, in the state of Saxony-Anhalt, the Alternative for Germany received 43.8 percent of the vote. The governing Christian Democrats, who supply the Chancellor of the Federal Republic, received 17.2. The offending party took thirty-nine seats, and required forty-two, so that the Republic survives by three chairs and a coalition arithmetic problem.

I do not raise these numbers to alarm anyone. I raise them because they establish the difficulty precisely.

The voters of Saxony-Anhalt were informed in advance. The domestic intelligence service had classified the state branch as a confirmed right-wing extremist effort. The classification was published. The broadcasters carried it. The Chancellor spoke. Museum directors, grandmothers, and the whole civic apparatus of the Federal Republic marched, petitioned, and explained. The voters were told what the party was, and then they went out on a Sunday and voted for it by a margin of more than two to one over the government.

Here we arrive at the true nature of the emergency:

The instrument of democracy has been discovered in the hands of persons not qualified to operate it.

*** end quote ***

And there we have it.  The “will of the people” is nullified.  After all the propaganda deluge, Joe Six-Pack and Mary Ordinary-Woman show up at the polls and vote EXACTLY opposite to what “their betters” instructed them.

Can’t have that!

Watch as “the elite” (i.e., politicians, bureaucrats, “celebrities”, “influencers”, “presenters”, “commentators”, “talking heads”, and all the other paid mouthpieces of the regime) barf all over the results and try to dismiss “the lunacy”.

Argh!

“There is no better educational experience for a child than finding out what happens when you stick a butter knife into an electrical outlet.” — David Burge

“Would you tell me please, Mr. Howard, why should I trade one tyrant three thousand miles away for three thousand tyrants one mile away? An elected legislature can trample a man’s rights as easily as a king can.” Mel Gibson as the character Benjamin Martin in the movie The Patriot http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0187393/quotes

“Elections have consequences.”  Sometimes!  When “the elite” get what they want. Argh!

ENCOURAGING: “Which Internet School of Medicine did you go to?”

Tuesday, September 8, 2026

https://pierrekorymedicalmusings.com/p/i-am-not-that-into-water-a-departing?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=645524&post_id=213206360&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=69c40d&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email

“I Am Not That Into Water” — A Departing Subscriber
The year that made three books, what it cost, and how an ICU doctor ended up on the agronomy charts.
Pierre Kory, MD, MPA
Sep 07, 2026
 

*** begin quote ***

I promised you the story of how an ICU doctor ended up having one book hit the “#1 New Release in Agronomy and the other as #1 in Agriculture and Food Policy. But wait, the latter is no longer true; now it is #1 in Water Supply and Land Use. Hilarious.

Here it is, and it’s shorter than you’d think. As I neared the end of mapping out the science and mechanisms of Shimanishi’s mineral solution, I was forced to spend a disturbing amount of time in the agronomy, soil biology, and hydrogeology literature.

Disturbing because — what the heck is an ICU doc doing studying agriculture?

Easy. That’s where the science and data on Shimanishi’s minerals lived. There was no medical literature to read. So I had no choice but to develop real working expertise in soil structure, soil biology, and agriculture to understand how plants, soil, microbes, and minerals interact, and how water connects all of them.

I hereby confer upon myself an AI-Assisted Internet Degree in Agronomy, Soil Biology, and Geohydrology.

*** end quote ***

I LOVED this line:
 
*** begin quote ***
For years, whenever a patient turned up having read deeply enough to propose a better option than the one I’d landed on — rare, but it happened — I’d say: “Which Internet School of Medicine did you go to? I’m impressed.” They loved it.
*** end quote ***
 
I’ve officially stolen that and added it to my snippets collection. 
 
Adding it to “Old Wives’ Tales that are true“, “Folk Remedies” (cabbage on the knee),  “Doctor Google“,  “Doctor Oz says“, “Eight hematologists and nine opinions” for why Evy was losing platelets, and CLAUDIA’s diagnosis of “noro virus; not food poisoning”.  
 
I call this group “SNIDE remarks that might be truer that you think”.  
 
I recognize that one out of touch with reality relative who used the inet to self-diagnosis “skin parasites” and ignore the fact, which her dermatologist asked her, “Have you been to sub-Saharan Africa in the last six months or had sex with with someone who has?”.  “Doctor Google” has to read with a large grain of salt.  The ability to do an internet search does NOT equate to four years in a per-med track in college and four YEARS in medical school.  Sometimes it is better; sometimes worse. Argh! Sometimes, a novice blunders into a gold mine; other times a pile of [<synonym for excrement from a male cow>! 
 
p.s., I love TEXTEXPANDER for my ability to speed type stuff on MAC OSX https://textexpander.com/
 
p.p.s., “Well, I’m not a <insert profession that requires a lot of study>, I have never played one on TV, and I didn’t stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, but here are some simple thoughts.” (Stolen from a very funny commercial.)

DISCOURAGING: Amazon resellers of batteries … … 

Monday, September 7, 2026

Anyone else “upset” with Amazon resellers of batteries?

It feels like they are most old and poor quality.  Often repackaged.  In different languages.

So, no more, will I buy batteries from Amazon.  Home Depot, Lowes, Target, even the Publix grocery store.

They have to be better!

Argh!

ENCOURAGING: Xenotransplantation–the use of animal organs instead of human ones

Sunday, September 6, 2026

Pig Kidneys Yield ‘Life-Changing’ Independence From Dialysis
The Prototype By Alex Knapp, Senior Editor.
Sep 04, 2026, 02:45pm EDT

*** begin quote ***

A little over two years ago, biotech startup eGenesis hit a major milestone–one of its genetically engineered pig kidneys was transplanted into a living human for the first time.

This week, it announced more milestones. Not only have those kidneys found their way into five patients now, two of those patients have subsequently received human transplants. The results for one patient were published in the medical journal The Lancet. And now the company is about to embark on a clinical trial of more than 30 people in order to get a final approval from the FDA.

“This is hugely motivating for the field,” eGenesis CEO Mike Curtis told me.

Xenotransplantation–the use of animal organs instead of human ones–has generally been seen as a “bridge” by doctors, a way to keep patients alive until they can get a human organ transplant. This is particularly urgent for kidney patients, where there is an acute shortage of organ donations, who are otherwise treated by dialysis: where patients have their blood regularly cleaned by machine. That process creates other health complications and has a high mortality rate.

*** end quote ***

Truly amazing.  A family member was on dialysis for five years until he was finally “exhausted” and decided to stop and slide away across that “rainbow bridge”.  I can’t imagine if this was available to him back then how things would have been different.  At least, he’d have had a chance. Sigh!

There’s so much “we” don’t know and things like this demonstrate what is “possible”. 

Hope these folks have more and better “discoveries”.

POLITICAL: Fetterman sounds like a shirker, a slacker, an image without substance, and … … 

Saturday, September 5, 2026

TCN Morning Note: The End Of John Fetterman?

Commentary

The End of John Fetterman?

*** begin quote ***

A new Wall Street Journal report published Thursday might mark the official death of Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman, a pro-Israel ogre who has cast a spell on far too many Republicans and conservatives by appearing on Fox News praising the only policy overlap between him and President Trump: WAR.

The WSJ revealed several damning text exchanges between Fetterman and his staffers.

For starters, the guy barely worked. Fetterman devised a system with his staffers to work as little as possible, according to the WSJ. During hearings, he sent a staffer to make sure he was seen by the Senate Clerk, then he would dip out early. He was marked present for 26 out of 31 full hearings of his assigned committees, but in 20 of them he didn’t even say a word, the WSJ reported.

*** end quote ***

Sounds like a shirker, a slacker, an image without substance, and a grifter all at once. 

Very disappointing.  

I too, thought that the D’s had finally found someone of substance that was not a crazy loon.  I could even look past his manner of dress (i.e., casual slob).  He almost had everyone fooled.

Argh!

Send him off to the “no zip” sorting bin of future historical odd-balls before he does any real damage.  

p.s., sitting silent in a committee meeting isn’t the worst sin; skipping out on disabled vets and deceased firefighters is unforgivable.  You go even if you carry a barf bag and shit your pants.  After all Joe did it.

Argh! Argh! Sigh!

AI: Hard not to read this article and NOT be concerned.

Friday, September 4, 2026

Own a gun? Go to church? Do yoga? AI can find out in seconds.

  • A series of demos on the Hill has both Democrats and Republicans alarmed about artificial intelligence’s ability to plumb commercial databases for information on Americans.

By Alfred Ng

09/01/2026 04:45 AM EDT

*** begin quote ***

Republicans and Democrats across Capitol Hill are getting a glimpse of artificial intelligence’s latest power: its ability to churn out instant dossiers filled with details about ordinary Americans, from a gun store owner’s leaked email passwords to a church member’s yoga workouts to people’s visits to abortion clinics.

*** end quote ***

Hard not to read this article and NOT be concerned.  

With all the Karens and other crazies out there that seem to think killing people is “socially acceptable”, everyone needs to be concerned.

Hell, I won’t even react to “driving bullies” on the road.  Who knows what will be the result?

Argh!

p.s., while POLITICO is a left-leaning progressive site, in this case, I think they have done a great job “nailing this to the politician’s office door”.  Well done!

“I never learned from a man who agreed with me.” — Robert A. Heinlein

Important to keep an open mind and open ears even to those who you assume are just always “wrong”.
