My Experience with COVID-19

I’m an American & I Am Free!
Yesterday, Joe Stalin – oops, my bad – Joe Biden effectively declared a large percentage of Americans as the enemy when he targeted the unvaccinated as the cause of all of our problems.

Today I Deadlifted 330lbs
I wasn’t going to workout today. I was feeling a bit sluggish due to PMS. I’ve had cramps for several days and I’ve been extremely bloated. The last thing I wanted to do was workout.

Fear-mongering is NOT Leadership
This week, I spoke to a health care provider who wriggled me into engaging them about the COVID-19 vaccine. She told me a story about a healthy young woman who came into her clinic this week, and she has five children. The provider asked this healthy woman, “Have you been vaccinated?” The woman replied thatContinue reading “Fear-mongering is NOT Leadership”
Hysteria is a Form of Extremism
It is quite common in mainstream media to see skeptics like me being labeled an extremist. I saw one article today state hat those who use the chat app Telegram are “right-wing extremists.” Well, I use both Telegram and Signal almost exclusively except for work-related texting and yet I flinch at even being referred toContinue reading “Hysteria is a Form of Extremism”
