Unemployed Guy's Basement Selfie Video Crushes Fox News In Primetime Ratings
[Bee] The historic leader in primetime cable ratings Fox News was dominated last night by an unemployed man filming a selfie video in his partially-finished basement.

"This guy chatting for a few minutes in his underwear and a blazer just completely blew Fox News out of the water," said Nielsen executive Roger Millican. "It was a ratings bloodbath."

The unemployed man reportedly posted the basement selfie video on Twitter around 7 p.m., and by 7:02 p.m. had gained more viewers than the entire Fox News primetime lineup. "We got demolished," said a Fox News producer, on condition of anonymity. "Our viewers abandoned us in droves to watch a video labeled 'Good evening', which was just this dude jawing in his basement. We're in trouble."

Panic quickly spread among the top brass at Fox News, as executive producers brainstormed how to win back viewers. "More gold coin ads? No, we already tried that. Think, Bob, think!" said Fox News VP Bob Randall. "Is it physically possible to add any more 'Breaking News' graphics? No? How about making the necklines lower on all the female anchors' dresses? This is hard!!"

At publishing time, the unemployed man had reportedly crushed Fox News primetime ratings once again, this time with a video of himself silently making a ham sandwich.

#4  Based on the Breitbart article that I read this morning, I believe that Fox will hold him out of the market until after the 2024 election. Their hope is that their sheep viewers will return to the fold some more Ryan GOP propaganda because they have no place else to go.
They have banished their Cy Young winner to oblivion, replaced him with a long reliever that will not shake off the catcher, and they expect season ticket holders to forget real soon. Tucker is, by nature, a bit of a troll, so we may see an iteration of The Alex Stein Podcast featuring frequent guest Tucker C, but I expect the lawyers will lob in a bunch of stun grenades and shut it down. Maybe Tucker will go full Doom Cock, but I don’t expect him back for good until his Fox contract is done.

Zero Hedge update on what now appears to be a recurring theme - 'Vaccine Lies and Bribes'
[ZERO] Vaccine regret is real — and it’s a growing sentiment among many Americans.

Some were forced to get vaccinated, some were lied to and now we know that doctors were getting bribed to convince their patients to get vaccinated.

Dr. Peter McCullough, outspoken critic of COVID-19 mandates and jabs, unearthed a damning document that exposes the latest loss of integrity in the healthcare system through vaccine bribery.

Published by Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield Medicaid, the "COVID-19 Vaccine Provider Incentive program" declares:

"Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is one of the best and safest ways people can protect themselves and their families against the virus. As a participating practice in the COVID-19 Provider Vaccine Incentive program, we recognize your hard work by offering incentives for helping patients make the choice to be become vaccinated."

The document then outlines perverse incentives consisting of up to $125 in cash bonuses per vaccine administered. Unsurprisingly, the bribed doctors probably weren’t motivated to provide enough information on this experimental gene therapy for patients to make an informed choice for their health.

Indeed, most vaccinated people are now seeking effective detox solutions, and rightly so: the vaccine is a catastrophe for public health and the long-term effects may be even worse. From Dr. McCullough:

"Far and away the most common question I get from those who took one of the COVID-19 vaccines is: "how do I get this out of my body." The mRNA and adenoviral DNA products were rolled out with no idea on how or when the body would ever breakdown the genetic code. The synthetic mRNA carried on lipid nanoparticles appears to be resistant to breakdown by human ribonucleases by design so the product would be long-lasting and produce the protein product of interest for a considerable time period... it is a big problem when the protein is the pathogenic SARS-CoV-2 Spike."

Fortunately, Dr. McCullough has a solution: the best-known defense against mRNA-carrying spike proteins is a daily dose of over-the-counter nattokinase:

#5  Wikipedia:

Nattokinase is an enzyme extracted and purified from a Japanese food called nattō. Nattō is made from fermented soybeans and has been eaten in Japan for about a thousand years.Wikipedia

#6  Like the meme says:
The people who didn't get jabs have no regrets or concerns.

'Free Lap Dance with Jab' has got to be my favorite bribe.

#7  I have an odd blood type that is useful to preemies, so I was a hard no throughout, but I did get encouragement from several doctors that seemed similar to the warranty pitch that you get when you purchase any electrical or electronic device at WalMart or Target.
