Larry Kudlow on FOX Business discussed Biden’s economy and how it ignores prosperity and inflation.
Kudlow on FOX Business discussed Biden’s economy. Ummm…it’s a mess.
Kudlow shared on Biden’s recent economic report. Biden’s report mentions gender 40 more times than inflation. The report mentions inequality 147 times and gender 127 times. But inflation is not mentioned in the introduction to the report even once.
Biden’s inflation is around $5,200 for the typical American family. Kudlow shares:
This Administration does not care one wit about economic growth and prosperity. For them tax policy is about punishing success, redistributing income, confiscating wealth…The rich have to pay their fair share under Biden…Now this woke Administration has published a woke budget with a woke economic policy.
Former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly was angry and lashed out at a JetBlue employee after his flight to Turks and Caicos was delayed five hours.
Bill O’Reilly was caught on tape shouting at an airline worker after his flight from New York’s JFK to Turks and Caicos Islands was delayed on April 3.
“You f*cking scumbag. Don’t talk to me like that,” O’Reilly said to the JetBlue employee after a back-and-forth over the delayed flight.
“The guy was arrogant and falsely accused me of threatening him and I said: “You’re lucky I didn’t do that.’” Bill O’Reilly said to the Daily Mail in a statement.
Hot-headed Bill O’Reilly threatened an airline worker who was trying to help when the former Fox News host’s flight was delayed for hours.
‘You’re going to lose your job.’ the 72-year-old told the JetBlue worker at New York’s JFK airport in video exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com.
O’Reilly, who has a history of easily losing his temper, was on his way to the Turks and Caicos Islands in the Caribbean on the morning of Sunday, April 3.
Dressed in a light jacket, rumpled pants and bright white sneakers, the 6ft. 4in. conservative commentator towers over the airline worker in the video snapped by a fellow passenger.
‘What you’re gonna do…it’s three hours late,’ he says. He can then be heard saying: ‘No, no, no, You’re gonna find out,’ jabbing his finger aggressively at the airline employee.
When the employee says something, O’Reilly responds:’You f***ing scumbag. Don’t talk to me like that.’
O’Reilly then squints at worker’s name tag, which the man helpfully holds up for him so he can read it more easily.
He then starts cursing at the man as his face contorts into anger. The exact words cannot be made out on the video.
The airline worker then objects to O’Reilly’s tone. ‘You’re threatening me with violence, man,’ he says. ‘No I’m not,’ replies O’Reilly.
Bill O’Reilly reportedly has a short fuse.
He melted down while hosting Inside Edition in the 90s.
After fielding several calls from concerned residents who spotted an unusual mule deer in their area, Colorado Parks and Wildlife dispatched officers to investigate. Officials determined the lumpy deer is just suffering from a case of what hunters commonly call “deer warts.”
While this mule deer is experiencing a particularly drastic case of cutaneous fibromas (a technical term that translates to “benign skin tumors”) the wart-like lumps aren’t typically a threat to a deer’s health. The growths are caused by a virus, and while they’re “unsightly,” says CPW, most fibromas will eventually subside and heal completely. Once it recovers, the deer’s immune system should be resistant to any future infections from the virus.
“The deer is walking around fine, eating fresh green-up and acting like a deer,” the agency wrote in a Facebook post. “We are letting the deer be for now and will continue to monitor it.”
Officials will make sure the fibromas don’t hinder the deer’s mobility or prevent it from eating or drinking, which is standard protocol when they encounter deer in similar conditions.
What Is a Fibroma, Exactly?
Here’s a useful, if thoroughly gross, description of the bumps themselves. A few takeaways: the size and color of fibromas can vary, so one infected deer might look different from another deer infected with the same virus.
Fibromas are conspicuous, occur only on the skin, and can range in size from 10 to 100-plus milimeters in diameter, according to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. “All are fleshy. Some are covered with gray or dark skin which often is scratched and bleeding. Others have a black, dry, hard surface that may be fissured much like the head of a cauliflower. The larger ones tend to be pendulous because of their weight and stem-like attachment to the skin.”
Fibromas in deer are caused by pox viruses and papilloma viruses. Although wildlife biologists don’t completely understand how these viruses are transmitted in wild deer, they do have a few hunches. Biting insects are one possible culprit, and so is contact of infected deer (or vegetation that deer has rubbed against) with the broken skin of a healthy deer. In experiments, fibromas were transmitted by rubbing infected tissue onto “the scratched skin of a susceptible deer.”
Experts also suspect bucks might spread the virus through fighting, since these growths are most common among bucks. A New York survey cited by multiple state game agencies found that the incidence of these growths are highest in younger deer (up to 2.5 years old) and five times more likely to occur in bucks than does. Michigan wildlife officials confirmed that reports in their state also suggest it’s primarily a disease that affects young male deer. Whitetails, mule deer, and moose are all susceptible.
Are We Sure Fibromas Don’t Bother Deer?
Most of the time, no—cutaneous fibromas don’t affect deer. In rare cases, the growths get so big that they can start to interfere with a deer’s ability to see, breath, eat, or drink. Sometimes (again, in rare cases) the growths can lead to a secondary bacterial infection. If there’s fluid on the bumps, says the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission, that means they’ve become infected.
Can Humans Catch Deer Warts?
In short, no. The virus that causes fibromas in deer isn’t transmissible to humans or domestic animals. Other wildlife species, like rabbits and squirrels, are susceptible to different versions of the virus, and you’ll occasionally hear about outbreaks of squirrel pox.
“It’s [sic] main significance lies in the consternation and concern experienced by the hunter who shoots a deer covered with ugly-looking lumps. Though they don’t harm the meat, fibromas are repulsive to most persons and therefore render a fine trophy aesthetically undesirable.”
In other words, hunters get grossed out when it turns out the buck they just killed is covered in lumps. The idea of eating venison from a warty deer is also unappealing. But most of the time, it won’t actually cause you any problems. If you notice any sign of infection on the bumps (again, if there’s fluid present), then it’s not safe for human consumption, according to the National Deer Association.
After the months of mandates issued by the federal government forcing people to get two and three doses of COVID-19 vaccines to keep their jobs attend, school, travel and enter indoor venues, the federal government admits the experimental gene modification shots are killing people.
While vowing to ramp up biomedical tyranny and the effort to get more Americans vaccinated, U.S. Health and Human Services Director Xavier Becerra Experimental claimed the “safe and effective” mRNA shots are killing people with dark skin at a much higher rate than those with light skin.
“By the way, we know that vaccines are killing people of color — blacks, Latinos, indigenous people — at about two times the rate of white Americans,” Becerra explained during a digital “White House Convening on Equity” seminar on April 14.
After acknowledging the lethality of COVID shots, Becerra explained that approximately 80 percent of the American public is vaccinated.
But the government needs to “work” harder to vaccinate Americans who have refrained from getting inoculated, he argued.
“So, on vaccines, last year, we saw that about two-thirds of white American adults had received at least one shot of vaccine,” Becerra said. “That was just barely over 50 percent for black Americans and Latinos at that particular time. So, again, we’ve got to work.
“Today, a year later, over 80 percent of white American adults have received at least one shot. Over 80% of black American adults have received at least one shot. Over 80 percent of Latino Americans have received at least one vaccine shot.”
WATCH:
While HHS acknowledges the deadly effects COVID vaccines have on minority communities, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s Vaccine Adverse Effects System confirms the COVID shots are killing more people than any other vaccine in history.
According to VAERS, only 421 vaccine-related deaths in 2020 prior to the administration of the mRNA shots. In 2021, the number of people who dies after getting vaccinated precipitously spiked with at least 21,914 people died after receiving the COVID shots.
As yet, 5689 people died after receiving a COVID vaccine in 2022.
Meanwhile, the CDC is deploying fleets of federally funded “pandemic” buses to minority communities across the nation to persuade unvaccinated Americans into getting jabbed.
As the Gateway Pundit has reported, the CDC’s PANDEMIC (Program to Alleviate National Disparities in Ethnic and Minority Immunizations in the Community) deploys teams of health care workers into minority communities to educate people about why they need to be vaccinated.
According to PANDEMIC grant program materials, PANDEMIC’s goal is to reach groups that may experience “immunization disparities” in racial and ethnic minorities, residents of rural communities, migrant farmworkers, Native Americans, Hispanics, Blacks, and people identifying as part of the LGBTQ community and boost vaccination rates in areas chosen for having “high vaccine-hesitancy rate. ”
“If people aren’t sure [that they want the vaccine], then we have educational materials, and our community health workers and the extension agents will talk to them about their particular questions and try to answer their questions and their concerns. And then…[we] immediately give them the vaccine,” explained Catherine Striley of the University of Florida, who helps oversee the PANDEMIC project.
Joe Biden, the most popular president in US history, spoke to a paltry crowd in New Hampshire on Tuesday.
79-year-old Joe Biden traveled to New Hampshire and visited the Port Authority at Portsmouth Harbor.
The Democrat-media complex claims Biden got 81 million votes in 2020, yet virtually no one turned out to see him speak in a state he supposedly won.
Joey delivered remarks on his infrastructure law that funded a project to widen the Harbor’s turning basin and as usual his speech was a total disaster.
Biden blamed Vladimir Putin for high inflation rates and falsely claimed the price of gasoline was a “discussion at the kitchen table” when he was a child.
Biden also repeated one of his favorite lies: “Nobody making less than $400K will see a single penny on their taxes raised” under his Socialist plan.
Then he dropped this gem…
“I’m so tired of trickle-down economics. I never found that it trickled down on top of my head very much. I was listed … as the poorest man in Congress for 36 years. I didn’t think you should make money while you’re in office,” said Biden.
Biden got sick of being ‘poor’ so he used his crackhead son Hunter as his bagman in their international influence peddling and money laundering operation.
Items of a multi-purpose nature are always of great benefit. Anytime you can get more mileage out of something the better off you’ll be, because you’ll be prepared for a greater variety of problems while also saving space.
baking soda in bowl on kitchen counter
You’ll also be saving money. One of the best multi-purpose substances you can keep in your survival stash is baking soda.
Baking soda is of course useful for baking, acting as a leavening agent, but it has innumerable other uses around the house and the shop. One of the best uses for baking soda is in an oral care routine.
Baking soda is a component of many toothpastes already, and it stands to reason you could use baking soda by itself for taking care of your teeth and gums. Is this true?
Yes, it is. Although baking soda is not a perfect option for long-term oral care it is completely viable and will definitely work in a pinch if you are out of toothpaste or if conventional toothpaste aren’t a good option for you for whatever reason.
In the rest of this article we will provide you with an overview of what baking soda can do to keep your teeth healthy.
What is Baking Soda?
Baking soda is just sodium bicarbonate, a chemical compound in the salt family. It appears as a solid white crystalline powder.
Baking soda is often sold under the name baking soda (throughout the U.S.), but in various places around the world may be referred to as bicarbonate of soda, bread soda or cooking soda.
As one would expect from most salts the taste is, well, salty and alkaline.
Baking soda is used in all sorts of situations, most commonly in civilian life as a leavening ingredient for baking, as a mild scouring or cleaning agent and as a component in both fire extinguishers and fireworks. Pretty versatile for a humble compound, huh?
This versatility extends into the medical and hygiene realm also, and as we will learn today it can be an effective standalone product for your oral care routine.
Teeth Whitening : Does Baking Soda Work Well as a Teeth Whitener?
Baking Soda for Oral Health
Baking soda has many properties to commend it for oral hygiene, namely that it functions as a mechanical cleanser and also possesses characteristics that make it antagonistic to harmful bacteria.
It also acts as an antiseptic that can help prevent infections from cuts, sores or ulcers in the mouth.
Compared to toothpaste baking soda is a simple and remarkably pure ingredient, with no added fluoride or other components of a dubious nature.
This can make it great as a replacement toothpaste when toothpaste is unavailable or as a specialized option for oral care among people who have reservations about the state of modern toothpastes
Baking soda can be utilized both as a homemade paste, by simply mixing with a small quantity of water, or diluted further to form a rinse or irrigation agent. It must be noted, however, that baking soda is not a miracle cure for oral care.
But then again, nothing is, and you’ll find that baking soda has strengths and flaws that you will need to account for in order to give your teeth and gums the care they deserve.
We will discuss the pros and cons of baking soda in the section below.
Pros of Baking Soda for Oral Care
Clears Stains
Baking soda is a mild abrasive, and though most dentists agree that it is gentle enough to be safe for long-term use on your teeth (as it will not seriously degrade your enamel) it is abrasive enough to remove surface level stains.
The reactive properties of baking soda also help to gently lift off discoloration from hard to reach places on your teeth.
Though a bright and shiny smile is probably the last thing on your mind in the middle of a survival situation it is good to know that baking soda can help maintain those pearly whites and that winning smile all the time.
Don’t discount that, because it could come in handy for negotiations!
Disrupts Biofilm
Baking soda has properties that allow it to disrupt the formation of biofilm, which is that nasty carpet of plaque that begins to form on your teeth over time.
This scuzzy, disgusting looking carpet is actually a colony of bacteria living and swarming among the detritus of their pooping and peeing after feasting on sugars and other food debris left behind from eating.
Aside from being nauseating to think about and unpleasant to look at, these biofilms can cause major problems.
Wherever biofilm forms cavities, gingivitis and other oral maladies and diseases are not far behind.
Brushing alone, even with toothpaste, is rarely enough to get rid of these troublesome infestations.
A paste consisting purely of baking soda with a little water can turn the tide against these colonies though, especially when they are young.
It accomplishes this by killing bacteria and by mechanically roughing up the biofilm making it increasingly vulnerable to repeated treatments, repeated brushings with baking soda.
Cheap
Baking soda is remarkably inexpensive, compared even to the cheapest toothpaste. Even at major grocery stores and retailers bulk boxes of baking soda can be had for around 40 cents an ounce.
You need very, very little baking soda to effectively brush your teeth or rinse your mouth and that means even a small box can go a very long way.
This is an easy way to get prepared for a long haul survival situation when you won’t be able to replace toothpaste after it runs out, or to save some money by foregoing toothpaste entirely and using baking soda exclusively for your oral care routine.
Raises Mouth pH
Baking soda is basic, and I don’t mean commonplace.
Baking soda and water will interact with the environment of your mouth to raise the pH, lowering acidity overall.
Since many varieties of bacteria and other nasty grizzlies depend on an acidic environment to exist this starts to make your mouth less and less suitable for their survival over time.
You definitely don’t want hostile bacteria in your mouth and around your teeth so this can only be a good thing.
For oral care, baking soda brings this to the table whether it is used as a rinse or irrigation agent or as a paste for scrubbing your chompers.
Even if you use something else to brush your teeth with a rinse of baking soda solution could be all you need to lower acidity.
No Added Chemicals
Compared to modern toothpastes a baking soda and water brushing routine is incredibly clean, and wholesome.
Modern toothpastes have all sorts of chemical additives of dubious effect and quality, chief among these calls for concern being fluoride.
The subject of fluoride consumption in humans is something of a hot topic, and we will not delve deeply into it here.
Suffice it to say that fluoride is definitely toxic when it builds up in the human body, and although it is found in every kind of toothpaste, used at every dentist office and is even found in many public water supplies that does not mean we aren’t ingesting too much.
Fluoride toxicity can cause systemic muscle and joint pain, organ problems (including kidney and heart problems), diarrhea, vomiting and vertigo.
It is this concern about slow and insidious fluoride build up that has led an increasing number of people to forsake products containing it entirely.
Baking soda makes a great replacement option for toothpaste if you are worried about fluoride toxicity.
That is quite the list of advantages inherent to baking soda for oral care.
But, as I mentioned above, it is not all good news. Baking soda does have specific disadvantages that you must work around. We will examine those next.
Cons of Baking Soda for Oral Care
Only So-So Against Cavities
Despite all of the worry over it and the evidence about its toxicity when it builds up in the human body fluoride is absolutely awesome as a topical agent for teeth that serves to prevent decay and cavities.
Baking soda alone is only so-so at best, and is meager more often.
This means you’ll need to be extremely diligent about preventing cavities; easier said than done for most of us no matter how cautious we are at brushing our teeth.
It should be noted that the antiseptic qualities of baking soda in conjunction with its basic nature will kill off many germs that will eventually give way to cavities.
But, it has been proven time and time again that baking soda alone is generally only reliable for slowing the onset of said cavities.
Taste and Texture
There are no two ways about it: Baking soda alone is frankly pretty gross for brushing your teeth.
Since it is a form of sodium it naturally has a very salty taste as mentioned above, and in conjunction with its sandy, gritty texture and slight effervescent effect it can be positively disgusting.
Some people have a hard time stopping themselves from gagging when brushing with straight baking soda!
Maybe you will, or maybe you won’t, but chances are it is just not going to be as pleasant an experience as your usual toothpaste.
This “mouth feel” can be mitigated by DIY additives like peppermint or spearmint essential oils, but being forced to purchase and then mix these oils into your homemade baking soda toothpaste is going to offset any cost savings you might have netted from purchasing baking soda alone.
Abrasivity May Harm Tissues
Baking soda has a crystalline structure, very much like table salt but usually a little finer.
When mixed with water, it forms a paste or slurry that you can dip your toothbrush in prior to going at it and this will usually do much to soften and slightly degrade these individual crystals.
However, people with sensitive gums often find that straight baking soda paste feels very harsh on the tissues of their mouth.
This can also be an issue for certain individuals who are simply irritated by the baking soda.
You should not use baking soda for oral care if you notice that your gums, tongue or cheeks become inflamed or raw feeling after brushing.
Most users report that the baking soda paste feels very much like wet sand in their mouths, and this should inform your opinion of just how rough it can be.
Remember, listen to your body and don’t keep plugging away at it making a bad situation worse just because you read about it on the internet, even from us!
That concludes an overview of the good, the bad and the nasty with baking soda for oral care. Now, how do we use it?
How to Use Baking Soda for Oral Care
There are two ways to employ baking soda in your oral care routine, and both are quick and easily performed.
You won’t be wasting any time in the bathroom when brushing your teeth with baking soda.
The two methods are:
Paste, for brushing
Wash, for irrigation and rinsing
Using either of these methods could not be simpler.
Paste Method Steps
In a small bowl, add a tablespoon or two tablespoons of baking soda.
Slowly add water and stir. Your objective is to create a thin paste or slurry that will still cling to your brush and your teeth.
Once you have achieved the right consistency, dip your brush or scoop out some of the paste and then brush normally.
If the paste is too clumpy or feels too abrasive simply add a little more water, stir and try again.
When finished, rinse mouth with water normally.
And that’s it!
Like I said, it could not be easier and will take you scarcely more time to set up then uncapping your toothpaste before recapping it and putting it back in the morning.
Wash Method Steps
In a medium sized cup add two tablespoons of baking soda.
Add water and stir until the mixture reaches a consistency like skim milk.
Rinse or irrigate your mouth normally as you would with mouthwash or a dental appliance irrigator.
Rinse with fresh water if required.
That’s all there is to it!
Using Baking Soda in Conjunction with Toothpaste
Some folks have concerns about fluoride but don’t want to give up all the benefits for their teeth. Other people just want to cut back on the amount of expensive toothpaste they are purchasing.
If this describes you, there is no reason why you cannot use baking soda in rotation with your usual toothpaste.
You don’t necessarily want to use them together, obviously, but there is no reason why you couldn’t use fluoride toothpaste every other or every third time you brush your teeth in an effort to cut down on fluoride uptake while still providing the benefits of cavity protection to your teeth.
Alternately, you can do whatever schedule makes sense to you.
Give It a Try!
Baking soda is a marvelously multi-purpose compound and its usefulness extends all the way into your bathroom for your morning brushing and mouth care routine.
Baking soda has much to commend it for oral care and so long as you can account for a couple of shortcomings it is likely that it can go the distance for you and possibly even replace toothpaste entirely.
Review the information presented in this article and see if baking soda is right for you and your oral hygiene routine.
Whether you’re a firm adherent of the “gray man” life or just someone who wants to avoid raising the eyebrows of coworkers at a corporate desk job, it’s a good idea to select gear that blends into your surrounding environment. In urban and suburban settings, this means that camo-colored ballistic nylon gear is usually a no-go. We’ve been fans of the Vertx Gamut line of backpacks for many years, since they offer a nice balance of functionality and concealment, so we were interested to learn that the company is launching another line of even more urban-friendly backpack designs called the Vertx Ardennes Collection. These bags feature water-repellent canvas and leather trim that won’t look out of place in any trendy coffee shop or college campus.
The new Vertx Ardennes Collection is launching with four bag models — the Ardennes Rover and Ardennes Holiday backpacks are pictured above (left and right, respectively). There’s also an Ardennes Valet messenger-style bag and an Ardennes Clipper duffle bag. Vertx says the bags were inspired by “the rugged rucksacks carried by US infantrymen in the European and Pacific theaters,” hence the name which references the Ardennes Forest (a key WWII battleground).
They’re constructed from Ash Grey canvas that looks like old-school waxed canvas, but is actually finished in a much more resilient durable water-repellent (DWR) coating.
The Rover, pictured above, features a roll-top design with L-shaped zipper access. What appears to be a luggage tag is actually a pull tab that allows quick access to contents, including a CCW compartment and armor panel sleeve. The front outer panel stows away to reveal laser-cut PALS webbing for MOLLE accessories or medical gear (a feature similar to the Gamut series). Total capacity is 18L, and MSRP is $250.
The Ardennes Holiday is a larger 30L pack that would work well as an overnight or travel bag. It features a zippered top opening with a lid that can stow quick-access items like an IFAK, as seen above. It also has two large zippered side pockets and a loop-lined CCW compartment that accommodates Vertx Tactigami pouches and/or an armor panel. It also has a stowable front panel that conceals laser-cut PALS webbing. MSRP for the Ardennes Holiday is $300.

Letter from the Editor: The Things We CarryIt could be argued that being savvy about what tools are available to you is a survival skill. This issue, we discuss gear for emergencies.
The White House announced on Monday that the United States, Germany, Belize, Indonesia, and Senegal will host the second global Covid-19 summit in May. With COVID-19 propaganda becoming less effective, the ruling classes are desperate to keep it forefront in the minds of the masses.
Even the mainstream media has admitted that the COVID propaganda has winded down quite a bit. A report by RT stated: While the pandemic has been pushed from the headlines in recent months, the Biden administration said a summit is necessary to “bring solutions to vaccinate the world, save lives now, and build better health security.” It sure seems like the rulers need everyone to continue to focus on this scamdemic.
The summit will be held virtually on May 12th. “The emergence and spread of new variants, like Omicron, have reinforced the need for a strategy aimed at controlling Covid-19 worldwide,” read a statement from the White House. “Together, we can mitigate the impact of Covid-19 and protect those at the highest risk with vaccinations, testing, and treatments, actions to minimize disruption to routine health services, and through support for the ACT-Accelerator multilateral mechanism,” the latter a reference to a World Health Organization (WHO) program for financing vaccines and treatment.
According to WhiteHous.gov, the first goal is to get more “shots in arms.” Note the use of the word “shots” not “vaccines.”
The Summit will build on the themes and commitments made at the first Summit and will place an emphasis on supporting locally-led solutions to both immediate and long-term challenges, including:
This Summit follows the first Global COVID-19 Summit convened by the United States on September 22, 2021. In advance of the May 12 Summit, we are calling on world leaders, members of civil society, non-governmental organizations, philanthropists, and the private sector to make new commitments and bring solutions to vaccinate the world, save lives now, and build better health security — for everyone, everywhere.
This is becoming obvious that the whole scamdemic was about these injections. The ruling classes of the world need everyone to take these shots. After all, that’s when the entire pandemic finally comes to an end so they can usher in the Great Reset and New World Order digital currency to enslave permanently the masses.
