Great CR last night. I crashed about 9 but listened this morning. Sweet Home is a Fav, the metal version was really good though.
My Bro said to check out James Woods Tombstone Opera.
Pretty good

The French JAMA-published study uses statistical simulations and assumptions even in generating the source data. Since France does not allow even anonymized record-level data access, direct record-comparisons are not possible.

(CFP should know JAMA is bought and paid for.)

For a contrasting study, see this report from about 1 month earlier, “Classification bias and impact of COVID-19 vaccination on all-cause mortality: the case of the Italian region Emilia-Romagna”.

https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/08916934.2025.2562972

Basically, the study authors use official data to attempt to correct for the fact that people who had received at least *one* injection but had not yet reached two or three weeks past their *second* injection were often or even always counted as unvaccinated in official statistics, obscuring potential harm in the weeks following initial injection by categorizing people as uninjected who actually weren’t.

The study compares the relative incidence of death of any cause (all-cause mortality) between two groups in the Emilia-Romagna region: those injected with any Covid vaccine dose and those not, during the time windows of initial vaccination ramp-up periods, stratified by age as follows: 15 March to 24 May 2021 ramp-up for ages 70-79; 18 April to 23 June 2021 ramp-up for ages 60-69; 7 May to 12 July 2021 ramp-up for ages 50-59.

Summary of the findings: the incidence of all cause death during ramp-up was 3.023 times greater among the vaccinated aged 50-59, 3.866 times greater among the vaccinated aged 60-69, and 4.731 times greater among the vaccinated aged 70-79, at a significance level of p < .0001 in each case.

The authors did not look at lower age groups because there was no obvious decrease in the health status of the *unvaccinated* during vaccine ramp-ups in those age groups, while there was an anomalous increase in deaths in the *unvaccinated* during ramp-ups for ages 50-59, 60-69, and 70-79.

Thanks for the MRNA JAMA report. It was focused on individuals aged 18 to 59 years. Guess where the majority of deaths from Covid were in 60+yrs. This study is skewed towards the age bracket that had the least impact to Covid and possibly MRNA vaccine.

POP UP ADS

Don’t get any kind of ads for CFP OT for CFP news list on my iPhone 17.

I’m otherwise plagued with ads of all kinds on other web sites I visit. I think that means that any of my iPhone settings are not the cause.

—

I don’t have ads for mobile.

Just for desktop and laptop — and I shut them all off this morning.

IF people are getting that McDonald’s takeover ad on desktop, I want to know.

Again, it won’t happen now, because all ads are shut off, but I want to know if people were getting that McDonald’s takeover in the past week.

The New GOP Survey Analysis of Americans Overall, Today’s Republican Coalition, and the Minorities of MAGA

https://manhattan.institute/article/the-new-gop-survey-analysis-of-americans-overall-todays-republican-coalition-and-the-minorities-of-maga

There are some disturbing findings in here about “New Entrant” Republicans, which make up 29% in the survey. (These would be mostly Gen Z, but also independents turned Republican.)

“The picture that emerges is one of a GOP with a solid, cohesive core and a younger, ideologically unstable outer ring — a coalition that is broader than any Republican coalition in recent memory, but also more internally contradictory and harder to manage.”

‘No US Citizens’: Meet the IT Firms Discriminating Against Americans

Washington Free Beacon finds many examples of job postings for jobs in the US that exclude all Americans from applying. “No USC or GC.” They only want H1Bs. (I wonder — gotta be Gurajati?)

Meta (Facebook) lost $70 billion on their virtual reality division over several years.
So Zuck slashed the budget for that division.

The Greatest Second Amendment Victory in a Century | Jason Smith, December 4, 2025

Starting Jan. 1, 2026, the $200 federal tax stamp and the $200 manufacturer or “making” tax on short-barrel shotguns, short-barrel rifles and firearm suppressors will be eliminated. That means Americans who choose to exercise their Second Amendment rights will no longer face a government-imposed financial penalty. I wrote this provision into the bill because the Second Amendment is not for sale, and it should never carry a price tag.

To understand the importance of this change, one needs to understand its history. In 1934, Congress slapped a $200 tax on short-barrel shotguns, short-barrel rifles and suppressors. The purpose was simple. Washington sought to discourage ordinary Americans from exercising their constitutional right to defend themselves. It worked. For decades, only the wealthy or the most determined could afford to pay the tax or navigate the long and complicated process for these arbitrarily short firearms or suppressors designed to protect their hearing.

The rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution belong to every American regardless of income or tax bracket. Our constitutional rights should never be privileges for the wealthy. They are freedoms that must be protected from government overreach. These rights are secured by our right to keep and bear arms.

IMHO
This song represents the Drive- By media. This was when those Boomers who are now in there late 60s and 70s wanted freedom of speech and thought. And yet many have fallen prey to the Woke.

“I’m The Slime”

I am gross and perverted
I’m obsessed ‘n deranged
I have existed for years
But very little has changed
I’m the tool of the Government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you

I may be vile and pernicious
But you can’t look away
I make you think I’m delicious
With the stuff that I say
I’m the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I’m the slime oozin’ out
From your TV set

You will obey me while I lead you
And eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don’t need you
Don’t go for help… no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold

That’s right, folks…
Don’t touch that dial

Well, I am the slime from your video
Oozin’ along on your livin’ room floor

I am the slime from your video
Can’t stop the slime, people, lookit me go

I am the slime from your video
Oozin’ along on your livin’ room floor

I am the slime from your video
Can’t stop the slime, people, lookit me go

3 Bottom Lines On Our Military shooting Up Illegal Drug Shipments.

1. Drugs that destroy the lives of Americans don’t get into America.

2. People who sell drugs to Americans are justly punished without the legal folderol of our court system.

3. Liberals who cry over killing drug runners, and, who don’t prosecute or jail drug runners, are revealed as not caring about the suffering and personal lives destroyed by drugs.

To quote a Vietnam era T-Shirt, “Kill ‘em all. Let God sort ‘em out.”
