Esteemed Science Journal: Difference Between Male and Female Athlete Performance Is Due to “Bias in How They Are Treated in Sports”

/

The so-called Scientific American claimed “inequity” between male and female athletes is due to “biases” in the treatment of both genders in sports.

The journal has become somewhat of a left-wing propaganda machine in recent years, focusing heavily on liberal perspectives and findings within science. In September, it endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the upcoming election.

A piece from Scientific American went viral on Sunday, October 6. Focusing on ultrarunning, the article claimed, “inequity between male and female athletes is a result not of inherent biological differences between the sexes but of bias in how they are treated in sports”.

“As an example, some endurance-running events allow the use of professional runners called pacesetters to help competitors perform their best,” the article continued. “Men are not permitted to act as pacesetters in many women’s events because of the belief that they will make the women ‘artificially faster,’ as though women were not actually doing the running themselves.”

Of course, this is disproved by track and field records across every discipline of the sport, but hey ho!

It is somewhat sad the science journal has become subject to political influence in such a manner.

Such content may even be banned if the Democrats get their way!

New Study Disproves Historic Claim That Black Newborns Were More Likely To Die With A White Doctor

/

A historic study which claimed Black newborns were more likely to die in the hands of White doctors has been debunked.

The famous study from August 2020 claimed Black newborns had lower mortality rates when looked after by Black physicians. However, a new study has since counteracted these claims, which were widely reported by a number of mainstream media outlets, and even cited by Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson in 2023.

The original study omitted low weight births from the data, thus skewing it.

Birth weights under 1500g are more common in Black newborns (3.3%) than White (1.2%), subsequently leading to a higher mortality rate than first accounted for.

With the new consideration, the statistical differences became insignificant, and confirmed that birth weight is more influential in a baby’s survival than the skin color of the physician.

The new study also uncovered that White doctors were more likely to care for Black low-weight newborns than Black physicians, further disproving the original findings.

As such, the original research incorrectly skewed the data and claimed that “racial concordance” between newborns and doctors contributed to a higher mortality rate.

Effectively, the new study disproved the link between a doctor’s and a baby’s race, instead attributing lower birth weights to higher likelihood of mortality.

Climate Protesters Silenced After Interrupting Ted Cruz Speech

/

Climate protesters attempted to disrupt a speech by Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, but the outcome – predictably – went against their expectations.

The Republican Senator was speaking at The Fund for American Studies when climate activists interrupted.

Undeterred, Sen. Cruz placed the protester on the spot and asked: “Which country is the biggest climate polluter on Planet Earth?”

Following a muted response, Cruz added: “You have no idea!”

He continued to say that the United States was leading the world in reducing carbon emissions, much to the delight of spectators in attendance.

Many on social media were critical of the climate protesters and their lack of knowledge over the world’s largest polluter.

Others, however, called for Cruz and the nation to ramp up their efforts in protecting the environment.

China is indeed the world’s largest polluter. Of the 50 billion metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions produced in 2022, China was responsible for 14.4 billion of them (28.8%). The United States, while in second place, was responsible for 6.39 billion (12.8%).

Climate protesters have always had an unusual approach. They expect individuals to make everyday efforts despite the limited impact a single person can have. They are also reluctant to lobby the Chinese Communist Party to reduce their global emissions, instead focusing on politicians who sit as a minority group in the Senate.

What’s your view? Should we all do more to protect the world, or will little change while China remains the largest polluter? Let us know in the comments.

53 Years On… Still No Ice Age

/

Friday, July 9, 1971, saw a number of important events.

It was a day on which then-United States National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger made a secret visit to the People’s Republic of China – a notable moment given that the Communist state would not be part of the United Nations Security Council for another three months. It also marked the funeral of influential jazz legend Louis Armstrong who had passed away three days prior.

However, within the Washington Post, a stark warning of a “disastrous new ice age” headlined the paper. “The world could be as little as 50 or 60 years away from a disastrous new ice age, a leading atmospheric scientist predicts,” was the opening line in the article by staff writer Victor Cohn.

Well, 1971 was 53 years ago at the time of writing. Unless we are heading for a cold spell in the next seven years, the 70 degrees Fahrenheit in which I’m currently writing this article suggests that prediction, like many before it and many more since, was wrong.

There are many reasons why the predictions are increasingly ignored by the general public. Time and time again, predictions of our impending demise have (thankfully) never come to fruition.

Furthermore, these warnings to society are made despite the fact that an average individual’s contribution to carbon emissions is comparatively limited, particularly when the use of private jets by the rich and famous as well as mass pollution by foreign nations is considered.

Meanwhile, it’s been six years since climate activist and former truant Greta Thunberg warned that we were all going to die by 2023.

Utah’s Great Salt Lake Is Apparently Racist

/

The Great Salt Lake in Utah has been accused of racism as its dust allegedly affects people of color more than White Americans.

So pervasive is racism in the mind of the liberal that even the Earth itself is now racist.

The 800-square mile bed produces dust which is disproportionately harmful to Pacific Islanders and Hispanics, according to a study published in the One Earth journal on June 21. Particularly, the dust blows towards these communities in the winds, thus increasing the level of pollution along the Wasatch Front.

Pacific Islanders are the most affected by the dust which, according to the study, are the only group exposed to pollution levels above U.S. National Ambient Air Quality Standards. Likewise, Hispanic, Black, and Native American residents also highly impacted.

In order to reduce these discrepancies, the report recommends limiting declining lake levels as a lower level reduces the amount of dust produced.

“People here in Utah are concerned about the lake for a variety of reasons — the ski industry, the brine shrimp, the migratory birds, recreation — and this study adds environmental justice and the equity implications of the drying lake to the conversation,” said Sara Grineski, lead author of the study and a professor of sociology and environmental studies at the University of Utah.

Social media users were, at the very least, skeptical over the apparent findings with many seeing the humorous side.

Others noted the need for a stronger local media in Salt Lake.

What’s your view? Is the report just your typical liberal race-baiting? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Studies: Young Liberal Women Are the Most Mentally Ill Demographic – Old Conservative Men the Least

/

An infographic showing a connection between age, gender, and political affiliation to a mental health diagnosis has sparked debate on social media.

The historic data from a 2020 Pew American Trends Panel study asked respondents whether a doctor or healthcare provider had ever told them that they have a mental health condition.

Results show that white liberal women aged 18-29 were the most likely to have been diagnosed with a mental health condition with 56.3% of respondents answering ‘yes’ in response to the question. This dropped to 27.3% when 18-29-year-old conservative women were questioned.

Trends show a decrease among all political affiliations in older age groups, with the exception being white moderate women aged 30-49 (32.8%) compared to the 18-29-year-olds of the same political viewpoint (28.4%).

White conservatives over 65 were around ten percentage points lower than their liberal counterparts, with only 4.5% of conservative men aged 65 and over answering ‘yes’.

The same study the tweet above is quoting from also had the following statistics for ideology and mental illness not divided by race, and they show the same pattern:

This is hardly the only research coming to this conclusion. In fact, all research on this topic comes to the same conclusion. The results from the paper “Mental Illness and the Left,” which was published in Mankind Quarterly, showed the same correlation between a person’s gender + ideology and mental illness.

And Gallup:

Some factors such as age are perhaps more explainable than others. Scientific research and a changed approach to mental health conditions in recent years could be a factor as to why more young people have been diagnosed, while women are nearly twice as likely be diagnosed with depression than men.

Political ideology is less well-evidenced, prompting social media users to discuss supposed discrepancies in the data. Some suggested generational differences played a factor…

…while others pointed to the widely available resources available to young people today.

One user also noted the outlier for young, liberal females.

Of course, all this really just sounds like liberals trying to come up with excuses for results that are humiliating for them.

Six Years On From Greta’s Doomsday Tweet… Yet Climate Warriors Haven’t Learned Their Lesson

/

It’s been six years since climate activist and former truant Greta Thunberg warned that we were all going to die by 2023.

Spoiler alert: we didn’t.

Comedian Tim Young kindly reminded us of her doom mongering prediction on X (formerly Twitter), providing a screenshot of her since deleted tweet where she warned our impending mortality if we didn’t stop using fossil fuels.

The comedian’s helpful reminder that we all should have been dead a year ago sparked comparisons to former U.S. presidential candidates.

Others, quite rightly, were just glad that we are all still here.

Furthermore, Greta’s deleted tweet sparked memories of previous extinction predictions by climate change worriers.

Quite often, those who express skepticism over the true impact of fossil fuels on climate change are often labeled as conspiracy theorists. Yet, this is despite data from reputable sources such as the International Energy Agency suggesting that while fossil fuels are significant contributors to global carbon emissions, their share of total emissions is decreasing due to increased use of renewable energy sources.  

Perhaps the tenacity of climate activists is what deters many from heeding their warnings. Fossil fuel activists Just Stop Oil sparked fury in the United Kingdom for their damage to Stonehenge; in previous years, the group has blocked road networks and disrupted sporting events.

Granted, these disruptive acts and doomsayer predictions may garner attention, but not all publicity is beneficial. It’s hard to listen to such activists when their ‘predictions’ are seemingly churned out in a repeated, never-ending cycle.

FDA Issues New Safety Alert for Infant Formula Due to Cronobacter Contamination

/

The US Food and Drug Administration has issued a new warning that three products produced for infants aged 0-12 months with a net weight of 12.4 oz have possibly been contaminated by Cronobacter. The products, which are sold in Texas and other locations across the country, are the Farmalac Baby powdered infant formula with iron, the Farmalac Baby formula with iron and low lactose and the Crecelac Infant powdered goat-milk formula.

The FDA warning alerted caregivers and parents about the potential Cronobacter contamination, and noted that the governmental body needed to issue the safety alert following new findings of potential contaminations in a product sample, despite the products being recalled by the company on May 24, 2024. The warning is being issued separately regarding the products by Dairy Manufacturers Inc. due to the company’s failure to comply with US infant formula regulations.

The limited samples did not detect the bacteria, but the company did not submit the mandatory premarket notification to prove the formula’s nutritional adequacy and safety. The firm and distributors are working together with the FDA to remove the flagged products from the market.

Cronobacter sakazakii can cause diarrhoea and fever, as well as meningitis and sepsis in more serious cases. In late December 2023, the FDA announced a recall of thousands of cans of infant formula produced by Reckitt-owned Mead Johnson Nutrition. The recall came after Cronobacter sakazakii was discovered in cans imported into Israel from the US and reported by Israeli health authorities.

In 2021 President Joe Biden’s administration announced plans to address the amount of toxic heavy metals found in baby foods. The FDA faced heavy criticism for being slow to act on limiting infants’ exposure to heavy metals. The reports from 2021 found unsafe levels of arsenic, cadmium and lead in products sold by leading baby food companies.

Cronobacter contamination of infant formula was the main reason for a dire shortage of infant formula in 2022 that resulted from an Abbott Nutrition plant ceasing production due to safety issues. Parents and caretalers are being advised to immediately contact a healthcare provider if they observe any symptoms in the event that the potentially contaminated formula has already been consumed.

Leftist Ponders Why More Men Aren’t Eunuchs

/

Today in “you have to see it to believe it,” leftists are wondering why more men aren’t getting themselves castrated.

The official British newspaper of woke, The Guardian, came out with this headline:

Said researcher is Cat Bohannon, who has quite a way with words when she discusses the male anatomy. Bohannon wonders aloud to an audience why men insist on keeping their bodies intact. Bohannon said castration was a “way to make male mammals live longer,” and that castrated men lived longer than their “regularly balled peer.”

Additional research is needed, as we should expect to see men with leftist political beliefs have significantly longer lifespans if this is the case.

There’s no word on whether Bohannon considers her breasts potentially cancerous “death bags.” Probably not, as the title of her book suggests a distinct female chauvinism: Eve: How The Female Body Drove 200 Million Years of Human Evolution.

Watch out boys, here she comes:

Speaking at a festival, Bohannon “wonders” aloud my men insist on “smuggling two little death nuggets” through their whole lives. She’d likely say she was posing a question about why evolution designed the male reproductive system to have a shortening effect on men’s life span. But it beggars belief that Bohannon does not understand that evolution only “cares” about lifespans long enough to complete reproduction. Is anyone else smelling vindictive feminism?

American philosopher Peter Boghossian kicked off a conversation on X/Twitter.

Australian MP Moira Deeming jumped in:

Since we now know that sex is a “social construct” (that’s left-academia-speak for, “some bollocks I just made up”), it’s a reasonable question!

User Szlater notices that mainstream media are uniquely friendly to only one kind of bigotry: the anti-male kind:

Optimistically, it looks like a number of men and women are noticing modern anti-male bias.
