An online body positivity group have created cards for patients who do not want to be weighed by their doctors unless absolutely necessary.
The 'Don't Weigh Me Cards', created by More-Love.org, ask doctors not to weigh patients every time they come in for an appointment because it 'stresses them out' and it 'perpetuates weight stigma'.(Snip)On the back of the cards is a list of reasons why being weighed is not always necessary, including 'Most health conditions can be addressed without knowing my weight', and 'I pursue healthy behaviors regardless of my weight status'.Artist Dani Donovan, from Omaha, Nebraska, took to Twitter to reveal that her local doctor's office had provided
The Wall Street holiday party circuit is a usually great place to have some laughs and pick up a few scoops. Not this year. The scoops are fewer than usual, as are the laughs, because COVID was supposed to be over and as we know, it’s not.
No, the big story circulating among bankers and traders as they sip their party drink of choice is that we all should party like it’s 1999 because word from their bosses is that seriously protracted lockdowns could soon be coming.(Snip)Treatments like monoclonal antibodies work, and others that are more easily administered are on the way.
Seventeen years ago, Corey DeAngelis made a decision in middle school that changed his life.
He applied to Communications Arts High School, a magnet high school in San Antonio, Texas, got in, and his experience there turned him into a national advocate for parents demanding a choice in their children’s education. (Snip) DeAngelis realized the common sense of a school choice system, through which parents are given the taxpayer funds allocated to their child — an average of $15,424 per student annually — to spend on whatever form of education best suits their family.

Waukesha, Wis. — For her whole life, 67-year-old Sharon Millard was so shy she used to ask her identical twin sister to go on dates in her place in high school.
But ever since Nov. 21, when Darrell Brooks allegedly plowed into dozens of people at the Waukesha Christmas parade, killing six people, including an 8-year-old boy, and injuring up to 60 others, Millard has felt compelled to speak about the atrocity she witnessed. One of the people killed was Millard’s fellow “Dancing Granny” — 79-year-old Virginia “Ginny” Sorenson (Snip) He drove the car in a “zig-zag motion” so as to “strike and hurt as many people as possible”
About 100 CTA drivers marched from City Hall to Millennium Park Saturday, temporarily shutting down the corner of Michigan Avenue and Washington Street as they demanded the city increase protections for public transit workers — including by giving them their own police force. (Snip) The demonstration came a week after a driver was beaten at the same Loop intersection and hospitalized. In September, a driver was shot in the jaw when he asked a passenger to step off the bus at the end of another downtown route.
The union’s primary demand is that the CTA get their own police force, similar to Metra’s, Hill said.

Chicago - Another day, another brazen robbery at a business in Chicago's pricey Near North Side neighborhood. This time, the target was the ritzy Gold Coast Auto Gallery.
On Saturday afternoon, two people came to rob this showroom for Lamborghinis and Bentleys. One stayed by the door with a gun. The other used a hammer to smash a display case and grabbed a million dollars worth of watches.(Snip)"He was smart enough not to raise the gun, because my people had guns," said dealership owner Joe Petito. "If he raised that gun, he would have been shot, we’d probably be in court defending ourselves."
Chicago (WLS) - Two of Kanye West's greatest hits are entitled "Power" and "Gone."
Both of them aptly describe Chicago street gang magnate Larry Hoover, whom the rapper will be singing on behalf of Thursday night in the Los Angeles Coliseum.
Hoover, 71, considered the most powerful and bloodthirsty gangster in Chicago since Al "Scarface" Capone, won't be able to attend the show in SoCal-because he is gone for the rest of his life behind bars at the nation's Supermax prison in Colorado.
Hoover is gone serving six life sentences for his role as the murderous and ruthless chairman of Chicago's feared Gangster Disciples criminal organization. In 1997 he was convicted of

Congress is commemorating the first anniversary of the January 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol with a prayer vigil, panel discussion with historians and an opportunity for reflection from lawmakers who witnessed the attack. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the plans for the ‘solemn observance’ Monday in a letter to fellow Democrats. 'Our nation will soon mark one year since the January 6th deadly attack on the United States Capitol,' she wrote. 'Already, preparations are underway for a full program of events, including a discussion among historians about the narrative of that day; an opportunity for Members to share their experiences and reflections from that day;
President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden got everyone’s attention when a new puppy was spotted running around on the South Lawn of the White House.“Yes, there is [a puppy],” the first lady’s spokesperson, Michael LaRosa, told CNN in a piece published Monday. (Tweet/Photo) The little guy was adopted by the Biden family and is reportedly a German Shepherd or similar breed, the outlet noted. (Tweet) Sources told the outlet the pup’s name is “Commander,” and he was reportedly a gift to the president and the rest of the first family.POTUS has since tweeted a sweet picture of the dog and confirmed the newest addition to the first family.
West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin took to Fox News yesterday to let the White House know he was a big no on “Build Back Better.” Build Back Better is the profligate spending bill designed by Biden’s handlers to both bankrupt America and impose socialism, not surprisingly this bill is also the centerpiece of Biden’s domestic agenda. The left was outraged and the claims that Biden and Schumer had been snookered by Manchin were widespread and, as it seems, scripted. The use of the word “played” is everywhere. It is what detectives call “a clue.” Someone high in the Democrat party communications apparatus
Former President Barack Obama and his family were seen enjoying some fun in the water this weekend after heading back to Hawaii for their annual Christmas trip. The 60-year-old 44th president was pictured donning black swim trunks on Saturday as he went for a dip in the Pacific Ocean, and was snapped squinting in the sun as he left his sunglasses behind.The day before, his daughters, Sasha, 20, and Malia, 23, were also caught on camera as they went out on the water on stand-up paddle boards, each wearing a bikini for the beach day.
The accepted wisdom amongst conservatives is that Joe Biden is a demented buffoon who is under the control of a leftist cabal in the White House, the individual members of which are unknown. However, Don Surber, who is one of the conservative blogosphere’s most astute political writers, has a different theory. He thinks that Biden is a savvy political operative as evidenced by a successful political career that has spanned almost 50 years. (snip) "Voters and pundits misread Biden. They thought they were getting a harmless and befuddled old man (snip) He knows how to stage and frame his presidency."
Bette Midler has been forced to apologize after sparking mass outrage for branding the entire state of West Virginia “poor, illiterate and strung out.” The 76-year-old diva used the less than divine choice of words for the Mountain State in a Twitter shot at rebel Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin for torpedoing President Biden’s multitrillion-dollar spending plans. “What #JoeManchin, who represents a population smaller than Brooklyn, has done to the rest of America, who wants to move forward, not backward, like his state, is horrible. He sold us out,” the “Beaches” legend tweeted Monday. “He wants us all to be just like his state, West Virginia.
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot pleaded with Attorney General Merrick Garland on Monday to send Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents to the city for six months after the city reaches a 25-year high in the number of murders. The woke mayor announced at a news conference in Garfield Park on Monday that she made a formal request to Garland to send ATF agents to Chicago for six months, a well as more federal prosecutors and federal marshals to help get illegal guns off the streets. This comes after the democrat proposed slashing $80 million from the Chicago Police Department budget in 2020 during 'defund the police' protests.
If you read that headline and immediately asked yourself, Is this guy serious!? Well, the answer is yes. Dr. Anthony Fauci is 100% serious.To high-ranking government people like Fauci, you, the average workaday American, does not know what is best for yourself and your family. You must be told what to do, even if it means being pounded over the head repeatedly.All we can do is pray that Donald Trump takes back the White House in 2024 and boots Fauci and his ilk far, far away from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.WATCH:
White House chief of staff Ron Klain doubled down on the White House's doomsday warning for the unvaccinated on Monday. 'We are intent on not letting Omicron disrupt work and school for the vaccinated. You've done the right thing, and we will get through this,' said White House coronavirus response coordinator Jeff Zients in a press briefing. 'For the unvaccinated, you're looking at a winter of severe illness and death for yourselves, your families, and the hospitals you may soon overwhelm.'(Snip)The White House has attempted to shift messaging away from case counts and towards severe illness. 'We're getting to the point now where… it's about severity,' said Xavier Becerra,
If you aren’t white, you may not be able to go way outside.
At least, that appears to be the belief of a North Carolina State University professor.
KangJae “Jerry” Lee — of the school’s College of Natural Resources — recognizes the racism keeping you from enjoying the great outdoors.
Cultural differences, he asserts, can’t explain why there aren’t more black people fishing, hunting, and hiking.
Also an insufficient excuse: income disparity.
The instructor laments America’s adventure/nature gap, but he’s bulls-eyed the culprit: systemic racism.
Wichita’s KAKE recently jawed it up with Jerry on the lack of outdoor equity.
Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, on Tuesday called on Fox News to fire host Jesse Watters for targeting him with violent rhetoric at a conservative conference earlier this week.
“That’s awful that he said that. And he’s going to go, very likely, unaccountable,” Fauci told CNN of Watters’ remarks. “I mean, whatever network he’s on is not going to do anything for him. I mean, that’s crazy. The guy should be fired on the spot.”
Speaking on Monday at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest conference, Watters encouraged attendees to rhetorically “ambush” Fauci with dubious questions about the National Institutes of Health allegedly funding “gain-of-function”
“AstraZeneca uncovers what's triggering blood clots after its jab” reads a recent headline from Mail Online.
“Oh, oh, oh!” one feels like exclaiming. So, it is true, after all. After nearly one year of stonewalling and denials, they officially admit that the Covid vaccines can, in fact, cause blood clots.
This will undoubtedly come as a great shock to those who believe the mainstream media narratives where all talk of vaccine injury has been hitherto dismissed as “misinformation” by those right wing anti-vaxxers. (snip)
After all, scientists and public health officials have always reassured us that these vaccines are “completely safe and effective.”
