“I like alliteration. Sue me. Seriously though Jim Bakker is super confused as to why people are making fun of him for selling these… “food” buckets. He googled himself, because of course he did, and found a bunch of social media posts laughing at him. Well I try to help Jim out by showing a wonderful compilation of him shilling these buckets over the years. It is hilarious. Bakker tries to prey on the fears of his particular brand of Christian. They think they will be around for a 7 year apocalypse leading up to the rapture. What does one need during an apocalypse? Barely edible slop apparently. He says you can replace all of your furniture with buckets. You can used them as a toilet. You can trade them for a car? I guess Jim is already living in the fantasy world he made up if he thinks that is a possibility. It is really funny to watch him do this but it’s also sad. He is taking advantage of mostly elderly people who are scared for their kids. There are genuine steps you can take to prepare yourself for a disaster, but buying this garbage is not one of those steps. If you need more evidence this is all a scam, he’s also selling a $1000 blanket. You must be thinking “oh the blanket is filled with super rare phoenix feather down and that’s why it costs so much.” Nope. It’s barely a throw blanket. Jim does say if you buy it and then put your bills in it they’ll go away, so I guess the blanket is supposed to have some kind of magical properties. I wonder if this is going to end up being his newest lawsuit…” === |

“Brandon Fraser won this year’s Best Actor Oscar for his role as a 600-lb. man in The Whale. But not everyone is cheering Fraser’s achievement. Specifically, Daily Beast writer Rebecca Bodenheimer has labeled the film “fatphobic,” although she admits to not having seen it. The “thin” writer and director perpetuate fat stereotypes in the film, she says, and continue Hollywood’s shameful policy of putting thin actors in fat suits rather than hire fat actors.
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the politics of obesity and who gets to tell Hollywood what kind of movies to make and what actors to hire.”

“Robby Soave comments on a PBS documentary about Dr. Anthony Fauci and his 50-year career, including his effort to get people vaccinated in the final two years of his tenure. #fauci #covid #vaccines According to the CDC, all COVID-19 vaccines currently available in the United States are effective at preventing COVID-19. Getting sick with COVID-19 can offer some protection from future illness, sometimes called “natural immunity,” but the level of protection people get from having COVID-19 may vary depending on how mild or severe their illness was, the time since their infection, and their age.
Getting a COVID-19 vaccination is also a safer way to build protection than getting sick with COVID-19. COVID-19 vaccination helps protect you by creating an antibody response without you having to experience sickness. Getting vaccinated yourself may also protect people around you, particularly people at increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19. Getting sick with COVID-19 can cause severe illness or death, and we can’t reliably predict who will have mild or severe illness. If you get sick, you can spread COVID-19 to others. You can also continue to have long-term health issues after COVID-19 infection.
While COVID-19 vaccines are effective, studies have shown some declines in vaccine effectiveness against infections over time, especially when the Delta variant was circulating widely.
The mRNA vaccines do not contain any live virus. Instead, they work by teaching our cells to make a harmless piece of a “spike protein,” which is found on the surface of the virus that causes COVID-19. After making the protein piece, cells display it on their surface. Our immune system then recognizes that it does not belong there and responds to get rid of it. When an immune response begins, antibodies are produced, creating the same response that happens in a natural infection.
In contrast to mRNA vaccines, many other vaccines use a piece of, or weakened version of, the germ that the vaccine protects against. This is how the measles and flu vaccines work. When a weakened or small part of the virus is introduced to your body, you make antibodies to help protect against future infection.
Everyone ages 18 and older should get a booster shot either 6 months after their initial Pfizer or Moderna series, or 2 months after their initial Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine. People ages 16–17 may get a booster dose of Pfizer at least 6 months after their initial series of vaccines.
The CDC says A person is fully vaccinated two weeks after receiving all recommended doses in the primary series of their COVID-19 vaccination. A person is up to date with their COVID-19 vaccination if they have received all recommended doses in the primary series and one booster when eligible.
Getting a second booster is not necessary to be considered up to date at this time. A study by The Cleveland Clinic found that both previous infection and vaccination provide substantial protection against COVID-19. Vaccination of previously infected individuals does not provide additional protection against COVID-19 for several months, but after that provides significant protection at least against symptomatic COVID-19.”
