HMM: How fingers could point to a link between low testosterone and COVID hospitalizations. “The researchers observed that patients with “feminized” short little fingers relative to their other digits tend to experience severe COVID-19 symptoms leading to hospitalization, and more importantly patients with large right hand—left hand differences in ratios 2D:4D and 3D:5D—have substantially elevated probabilities of hospitalization.”

But digit ratios are about prenatal testosterone exposure; they don’t indicate current levels or people who got testosterone therapy would have new finger growth.

A QUESTION FOR READERS OF WIRED:

When you read a Wired piece making the factual claim

Black and brown people are prosecuted for crimes at higher rates and arrested at higher rates than non-Black and brown people

does it at all occur to you to ask, “Do they also commit crimes at higher rates”? On the one hand, I’d expect the aspergery techie crowd, which, presumably Wired‘s readership would draw upon, to be more transgressive in asking the logically obvious questions. On the other hand, the crimestop is hard-wired at the neural synapse level these days. . .

Indeed.

JIM TREACHER: Feminists Demand: Get Your Wife in Line, Clarence Thomas.

Remember when America was this close to turning into The Handmaid’s Tale? Glad those days are over. Also, women are now the property of their husbands.

“Every woman is the author of her own life… er, unless we really hate her husband!” Libs will cast aside everything they claim to believe, just to gain a moment’s advantage. Then they wonder why we don’t trust them.

Ginni & Clarence are the new Bonnie & Clyde. Also, Hunter Biden has nothing to do with his dad.

If it turns out Clarence Thomas did something unethical or even criminal, let the chips fall where they may. But I don’t hate a black man for being a conservative on the Supreme Court, so I’ll leave the shrieking to the libs.

#HIMTOO? “Former Maine gubernatorial candidate Eliot Cutler admitted to police they would find child porn in his home, Hancock DA says.”

It takes 13 paragraphs until his party is revealed: “The case against Cutler is one of the highest-profile ones ever brought against a prominent Maine political figure. Cutler, a wealthy lawyer born in Bangor, was an aide to U.S. Sen. Edmund Muskie and President Jimmy Carter in the 1960s and 1970s. He has been a major figure in international business and greater Portland’s civic world. He returned to Maine politics as an independent gubernatorial candidate in 2010, narrowly losing to Republican Paul LePage after a late surge past the Democrat in the race. Cutler ran for governor again in 2014, but only mustered an also-ran performance at 8 percent of votes.”

WELCOME BACK, CARTER! The bad old days: Biden’s America is a throwback to the 1970s.

Under Carter, the country saw double-digit inflation. Meat prices surged, with beef up 39% in one year. Energy prices were so high that Carter urged the public to put on a sweater and turn down their thermostats. The cost of gas doubled between Carter’s first year in office and 1981.

Today, a similar situation is unfolding. Biden’s reckless spending is making everything more expensive. New data show that consumer prices spiked by nearly 8% over the past year, the fastest rate in 40 years. Gas and electricity are respectively up 38% and 9% over last year. Staples such as milk and eggs are up 11%. And used cars will cost you 41% more — if you can even find one. These prices are hitting the public in the pocketbook. Sixty-four percent of people say they are now living paycheck to paycheck. And voters rank rising prices as one of their biggest concerns.

The Biden administration’s response to surging energy prices? Buy an electric car.

Meanwhile, a crime wave to rival the 1970s is sweeping the nation. Fourteen major Democratic-run cities set all-time homicide records last year. Police officers have seen a 115% surge in ambush-style attacks since 2020. And on top of the surge in violent crimes, there’s been an uptick in carjackings and organized “smash-and-grab” robberies in stores.

As Glenn wrote in the New York Post: Don’t pretend that high prices and American suffering are a ‘bug’ for the establishment — it’s a historic feature.

STANDING UP AGAINST GOVERNMENT CENSORSHIP: NCLA Takes on U.S. Surgeon General’s Censoring of Alleged Covid-19 “Misinformation” on Twitter.

A reminder that when private organizations censor at the behest of government officials, that constitutes a First Amendment violation. The “private companies can do what they want” rule doesn’t apply. Though to be honest, in 2022 it’s not clear that “private companies” apart from government influence really exist at this level.
