Has Gloria Steinem's Time Passed? Depends!


Perpetually angry feminist and abortion survivor, Gloria Steinem resurfaced recently to raise a hoary, liver spotted clenched fist for Hillary and bring out the grrrl vote. The problem in New Hampshire was that only grrrlz 65 and over were looking for the "personal fulfillment" that only a Clinton presidency or Oprah diet can give them.

 Not to be outdone, former Clinton White House Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright opined that there was "a special place in Hell for women who don't support Hillary..."

Some people just don't know when to get off the stage. Seeking political guidance from Steinem would be like seeking dating advice from Hugh "Weekend at Bernie's" Hefner.

New study finds brain disease in 95% of deceased NFL players

Researchers with the Department of Veterans Affairs and Boston University, MA, identified chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in 87 of 91 deceased NFL players, indicating that there is a link between football and long-term brain disease.
The findings were first reported by PBS and published on the website of the Concussion Legacy Foundation, whose brain bank received a $1 million research grant from the NFL in 2010.
"People think that we're blowing this out of proportion, that this is a very rare disease and that we're sensationalizing it," says Dr. Ann McKee, chief of neuropathology at the Department of Veterans Affairs Boston Healthcare System. "My response is that where I sit, this is a very real disease. We have had no problem identifying it in hundreds of players."
The team has previously identified CTE in the brains of football players who have donated their brains to science. So far, they have identified CTE in 96% of NFL players and 79% of football players examined to date - a total of 131 out of 165 individuals.
CTE occurs when an individual receives blows to the head over a period of time, causing progressive damage to nerve cells in the brain. The condition can impair cognitive functioning, causing difficulties with thinking and emotions and leading to problems such as depression and dementia.

The Role Reversal

There's a very old joke about the guy whose job in the circus was to march behind the elephants in the parade and sweep up their droppings. When asked why he didn't quit the filthy, degrading job he replied...



Wednesday

Planned Parenthood



Another video has been released featuring members of Planned Parenthood staff discussing illegal practices at a number of their facilities.
I don't know what's more chilling- the practice of aborting and selling parts of 16-week old fetuses to medical researchers or the ice cold demeanor of the staffers discussing the work they do.
