Country Star Jason Aldean’s Woke PR Firm Dumps Him After Wife’s ‘Tomboy’ Comment Sparks Trans Outrage

The Charlie Kirk Show

Country music superstar Jason Aldean has become the latest entertainment industry conservative to be ‘canceled’ by woke cowards who make a mockery out of the word “tolerance.”

According to a Friday report, Aldean’s public relations firm has dropped him after 17 years following an online rift between his wife, Brittany, and a couple of leftist country singers including Maren Morris and Cassaddee Pope.

“I’d really like to thank my parents for not changing my gender when I went through my tomboy phase. I love this girly life,” Brittany captioned a makeup reveal video on Instagram.

“It’s so easy to, like, not be a scumbag human? Sell your clip-ins and zip it, Insurrection Barbie,” Morris wrote.

Morris was responding to a criticism of Aldean by another country singer, Cassadee Pope, who wrote: “You’d think celebs with beauty brands would see the positives in including LGBTQ+ people in their messaging. But instead here we are, hearing someone compare their ‘tomboy phase’ to someone wanting to transition. Real nice.”

Morris wasn’t done, however.

“You know, I’m glad she didn’t become a boy either because we really don’t need another a**hole dude in the world,” she added. “Sucks when Karens try to hide their homophobia/transphobia behind their ‘protectiveness of the children.’

“F*** all the way off to Insurrection Barbie and the fellow [Insurrection Barbies] trolling this comment section with their hypocritical, hateful a**es,” Morris continued.

Brittany responded by tagging Pope on Instagram.

“Advocating for the genital mutilation of children under the disguise of love and calling it ‘gender affirming care’ is one of the worst evils,” the makeup guru ripped.

“I will always support my children and do what I can to protect their innocence,” she continued.

“Some parents want to be accepted by society so badly, that they’re willing to make life-altering decisions for their children who aren’t old enough to fully comprehend the consequences of those actions,” Brittany added. “Love is protecting your child until they are mature enough as an adult to make their own life decisions.”

“Thankful my parents allowed me to go through my tomboy phase without changing my gender,” she said in conclusion on Instagram. “Until then, leave children alone!”

But regardless, it’s the Aldeans who are being canceled by the country star’s PR firm.

“Music has always been and remains The GreenRoom’s core focus, so we had to make the difficult decision after 17 years to step away from representing Jason,” Tyne Parrish, the woke co-owner of Nashville-based The GreenRoom, told Billboard magazine on Thursday.

“We aren’t the best people for the gig anymore, but will always be big fans of his music — he is one of the greatest live entertainers in country music,” she added, lamely.

Country stars such as Reba McEntire, Dierks Bentley, Rascal Flatts, Thomas Rhett, Lady A, and Brett Young are all clients of The GreenRoom, as it is one of the biggest PR firms in the country.

And obviously, only clients who agree with sexually grooming children are tolerated.

I’m with Brittany. This woke crap is completely out of control, especially regarding transsexuals. The Left always has to have a “victim” mascot, and trannies are their latest mascots. – The Liberator

Quote of the Day

“Notice that for the World Economic Forum to succeed in its mission to control all human activity, it must first destroy the sovereignty of nation states. Why? Because  liberal nations that embrace freedom of speech, freedom of thought, and free market entrepreneurship foster innovation and great wealth. Any nation not encumbered by the WEF’s market proscriptions will most likely continue to prosper, while those shackled to the “Great Reset” will most likely languish. This is why Western politicians have worked so hard together to push their “Build Back Better” proposals irrespective of the wishes of any one nation’s voting citizens.”Authored by J.B.Shurk via The Gatestone Institute,

‘Socialism in sheep’s clothing’: Pro-market leaders combat ESG, liberal capture of corporate America

State elected leaders describe growing pushback against left’s drive to leverage asset management to engineer social change via private sector.

Charlotte hazard, Just The News

ro-market elected officials and thought leaders are fighting back against progressive activists’ creeping capture of corporate America through the Environmental Social and Governance movement..

ESG investment strategies, increasingly prevalent among large asset management firms, seek to leverage passive investors’ assets to steer corporate decision-making to promote progressive social and environmental priorities. ESG has often been compared to the “social credit” system used by China’s ruling communist elite to enforce political conformity on its population. 

Oklahoma Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt made headlines recently by signing a major anti-ESG bill called the Energy Discrimination Elimination Act of 2022, which requires the state to divest holdings in financial organizations that boycott the energy industry. 

“As a state, we’re not going to invest with them if they’re going to be attacking our way of life and if they’re going to be attacking our energy industry,” Stitt told the “The Push for ESG: Social Credit and the New Cancel Culture,” a new special report hosted by John Solomon and sponsored by Heritage Action for America.

“Why would an investor not want you to be focused on returns and focused on more of these social issues?” Stitt asked. “It just makes no sense to average Americans, and we’re pushing back. We’re not going to do business with people that don’t promote our assets.”

Warning that ESG is a “significant threat to democracy,” state Rep. Paul Renner (R-Fla.) explained how Florida is now requiring state pension funds to be invested in the financial interests of beneficiaries rather than to advance extraneous politcal agendas. 

“We put guardrails around our pension and made sure that they can only invest based on rate of return,” Renner said. “We have conservatives and liberals in our state. I’m going to be defending this in the House and in the Senate, and the governor is going to be defending everyone’s pension. That’s their money, not ours. And it should be invested based upon rate of return and rate of return alone.”

West Virginia has also been pushing back against ESG by not investing its assets with financial institutions that boycott energy companies.

“We generate a lot of money from the fossil fuel industries here in West Virginia,” state Treasurer Riley Moore said on the special. 

“There’s a clear conflict of interest there for us to hand over dollars generated from those industries, to a financial institution that’s trying to diminish those funds at the exact same time,” he explained. “So it did not make sense for us to continue to do business with those firms.”

Former CEO of Carl’s Jr. and Hardees Andrew Puzder has created an anti-ESG exchange traded fund as a counterweight to ESG investing.

“ESG investing is all about accomplishing liberal political objectives,” said Puzder, author of “Capitalist Comeback: The Trump Boom and the Left’s Plot to Stop It.” 

“But the right objective is to concentrate on returns for investors, returns for shareholders,” he said. “And our theory is that companies that focus on profits rather than politics are going to be more profitable than companies that focus on politics rather than profits.”

Puzder called ESG “socialism in sheep’s clothing,” warning it could end up destroying the U.S. economy.

“Elon Musk came out and said that he was convinced ESG was the devil incarnate,” Puzder noted. “I mean, the CEOs will tell you that this is an evil, terrible thing. And they’re being forced to focus on things other than the interests of their investors and shareholders.”

ESG “objectives” are being pushed by hedge funds, banks, and other large investment firms, mandating that corporate borrowers meet ESG standards or “No loans for you!”. It’s totalitarian socialism by any other name, and the overriding objective is to thin the corporate herd and eliminate noncompliant corporations from the marketplace, thus increasing revenue and improving the bottom line for the giant, multi-national corporations. It is yet another form of crony capitalism. – The Liberator

Long COVID Contributing to Disabilities by the Millions

Interdisciplinary treatments aimed at both mind and body are needed for these complex conditions

Marina Zhang, Epoch Times

From early 2021, stories emerged of people experiencing post-COVID-19 symptoms that were so debilitating they impacted their ability to work and live a normal life.

Thirty-one-year-old Rebecca Meyer spoke on CNN in January 2021 about her 11-month struggle with long COVID symptoms, having contracted symptoms from an infection.

Prior to infection, she was a healthy woman with no underlying health conditions. However, 11 months into the sickness, Meyer maintained that she was still “very much in the symptom-management phase of my sickness.”

Her bedroom looked like a pharmacy owing to the many medications she had tried.

Speaking on her health, Meyer’s voice cracked with emotion; she needs a feeding tube owing to gastroenteritis from her post-COVID symptoms, and is very much out of her four children’s lives. At the time, she reported that she had been reliant on her boyfriend, who lost his job during the pandemic, to take care of her and the children.

“I was an active mom of four. And now I don’t get out of bed. I don’t eat, I don’t spend time with my children like I need to. This can happen to you,” she said.

Despite running over two years into the pandemic, there has been little progress on our understanding of long COVID symptoms and patients affected by it have remained largely neglected. Meanwhile, the debilitating conditions that many long COVID patients are suffering from have persisted, and a new group of disabled individuals has been established.

Young and Disabled

While most clear out their COVID-19 symptoms in days to a few weeks, recent studies estimate that around 1 in 8 people who have been infected will have persistent COVID symptoms, despite testing negative for COVID-19.

Doctors still do not understand the drivers behind these symptoms, nor why these people are affected. Many long COVID patients, also known as long-haulers, are younger in demographic, and previously had no underlying health conditions.

However, many are hit with a myriad of mental and physiological conditions, including symptoms common to acute COVID such as cough, fevers, shortness of breath, headaches, fatigue, and muscle aches, as well as less common COVID symptoms including brain fog, severe fatigue, chest pains, depression and anxiety, pins-and-needles, heart palpitations, sleep problems, along with other strange conditions.

Not all long COVID symptoms are debilitating, but for some, suffering from long COVID could mean a complete change to their lifestyle, and possibly even a disability.

The disabilities apparently caused by long COVID are directly related to critical organs including the brain, heart, lungs, and muscles.

1. Brain impairment: long COVID impairs brain function and causes nerve damage. Studies have shown that more than 30 percent of SARS-CoV-2 viruses attack nerves. Nerves are a reservoir of hidden viruses, and nerves are connected to internal organs. Many “long-haulers” experience brain fog including difficulty sleeping, headaches, and dulled thinking and memory.

2. Impaired heart function: fatigue is a primary symptom in long-haulers as well as muscle aches and increased fatigue after exercise. Many suffer from reduced cardiac output, meaning they have to reduce the intensity of their exercise and some cannot exercise without putting their health at risk.

3. Impaired respiratory function: studies have found that long COVID patients have decreased lung function owing to scarring and inflammation. This can lead to decreased oxygen uptake and shortness of breath from lowered blood oxygen levels.

4. Impaired muscle function: persistent immune actions against viruses damage cells, including muscle cells and tissue. Inflammation from the immune responses can trigger inflammation in muscle fibers and induce muscle weakness.

5. Impaired blood vessel function: inflammation in the body damages cells that line blood vessels, and can possibly impair oxygen supply to organs and muscles. This can cause fatigue and aches.

A Global Problem

Disabilities from long COVID, and debilitating vaccine injuries (which often share similarities to long COVID symptoms) are growing, and becoming a problem of both national and global concern.

Debilitating long COVID symptoms can make it difficult for people to enjoy social activities and hold down a job.

News reports have emerged of people with long COVID and the vaccine injured who have faced discrimination from work and were later laid off because of their condition.

In July 2021 the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services listed long COVID as a disability under Titles II (state and local government) and III (public accommodations) of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The statement cited that individuals claiming for long COVID disability will be assessed individually by health experts to determine if their health problems are from long COVD.

Latest U.S. government figures revealed a staggering 385,000 people have been living with symptoms of long COVID for a year or more.

A study by Brookings estimated that around 4.5 million Americans with long COVID are out of work.

This not only impacts the American workforce but is also a significant global problem both in matters of labor and health care.

Studies from the Netherlands showed that COVID-19 and long COVID have driven up sick leave during the pandemic. During the pandemic, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development published policies, encouraging implementation of sick leave income for people suffering from COVID-19 symptoms to protect their income, health, and jobs during the crisis.

While this provided temporary relief to the people who needed paid leave as a safety net, it also invariably increased government spending, with most countries coming out of the pandemic seeing unprecedented inflation rates.

Health conditions as a result of COVID-19 and related problems are also contributing to a shortfall in labor. Given that the world is already burdened with labor shortages from two years of lockdowns and rapidly changing work environments and career outlooks, disabilities from long COVID and vaccine injuries only add fuel to the fire.

A study published before the pandemic showed that, by 2030, more than 85 million jobs could go unfilled because there aren’t enough skilled people to take them. This number is expected to be significantly higher coming out of the pandemic.

The World Health Organization has also reported more than 6.4 million deaths from COVID-19 and related problems.

News reports have shown that there are many vaccine injured people, and those who have declined vaccinations who have lost their jobs.

The expectation for work has also shifted during the pandemic. After two years of mostly working remotely with unstable employment and income, people coming out of lockdowns are reporting mental health problems. Some came to the conclusion that work is not as important as their health or mental wellbeing and have since postponed seeking employment.

Interdisciplinary Approach to Treat Both Mind and Body

Considering that long COVID is an interdisciplinary disease with a myriad of conditions that affect multiple organs, holistic health approaches have been encouraged by clinicians to treat the symptoms as a whole.

Dr. Christian Sandrock, a professor of critical care and infectious disease medicine at the University of California, Davis School of Medicine, also said that the only universal treatment for “long-term symptoms of COVID-19” is to “improve the quality of life,” including adjusting sleep and reducing stress.

A few options of integrative care have emerged in scientific literature to resolve long COVID.

Psychological Therapies

Long COVID is detrimental to mental health. Patients often report symptoms that may be synonymous with depression and anxiety, including insomnia and muscle weakness.

Fatigue is a primary symptom of long COVID. For the patients in a state of social isolation, as well as financial and relationship difficulties, their situation can worsen fatigue, which can further cause negative impacts on mental health, and quality of life, forming a negative spiral.

People with long COVID are encouraged to seek out counseling and interact with support groups for people sharing similar conditions.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a holistic and energy-based medicinal practice based on the understanding that the body and its organs correspond to different energies.

Energy in excess or deficiency can affect particular organs, causing imbalances to the body. Therefore, by inserting very thin needles into acupoints at different meridians, energy balances can be restored at different organs.

Acupuncture has long been acknowledged as a medical practice that can alleviate symptoms of chronic pain.

Studies have shown that acupuncture increases the release of neurotransmitters including serotonin and noradrenaline. It also promotes the release of endorphins and melatonin and improves immune function.

The practice reasons that mental illnesses are from imbalances in energies in various organs.

Studies have shown that acupuncture can improve mental conditions including depression and anxiety. Research indicates that depressive symptoms may be alleviated through the release of serotonin and noradrenaline, and electroencephalography readings show electroacupuncture (a form of acupuncture) may be just as effective as amitriptyline without the drug side effects.

In people with anxiety, acupuncture enhances a sense of stillness, general restfulness, and unresponsiveness to painful stimuli. It also boosts the release of endorphin, a hormone related to the feeling of happiness and satisfaction, as well as melatonin, a hormone that modulates the circadian rhythm and improves sleep.

Electroencephalography readings showed that acupuncture increased alpha waves, a wave associated with a normal wakeful state where the subject is quietly resting.

Studies have shown that acupuncture reduces patients’ needs for preoperative sedatives and the use of acupuncture comes with reduced side effects in comparison to prescription drugs for pain.

For long COVID symptoms, acupuncture is suggested to stimulate the central nervous system. Specifically it reduces the “fight or flight” stress response of the sympathetic nervous system while stimulating the parasympathetic responses (“rest and digest”).

Studies on long COVID patients suffering from chest palpitation and shortness of breath—symptoms synonymous with anxiety—found that patients experienced a decrease in the severity of the symptoms following acupuncture sessions.

Rehabilitation Interventions

Rehabilitation including physical, occupational, and speech therapy could help patients return to daily life.

Studies on aerobic and pulmonary physiotherapy, found that it improves patients’ shortness of breath, anxiety, and fear of moving. High and low-intensity aerobic exercises increased appendicular muscle mass as well as handgrip strength in patients with long COVID.

Rehabilitation and nutrition programs can also prevent and improve loss of muscle mass in patients.

Chiropractic Therapy

Chiropractic therapy is a holistic therapy that focuses on the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine. Chiropractors believe that vertebrae can become misaligned or move out of their normal position, creating subluxations that put pressure on the tissues around them.

This pressure can affect not only the immediate joints but also other visceral organs and the whole body. Therefore, chiropractors believe symptoms of stiffness, dizziness, lack of energy, general malaise, posture imbalance, neck and back stiffness or soreness, spine muscle spasms, constant headaches, and lessening of mobility are all signs of subluxation.

Vertebrae can be realigned through skeletal manipulation, which is when chiropractors apply a force to the area that is misaligned, and chiropractors use various techniques to manipulate relevant joints.

Primarily, chiropractic therapy has been used to treat back pain, however several studies have indicated that they can also treat pain in joints and limbs, muscle pain and tenderness, insomnia, headaches, and fatigue.

Meditation

Meditation, a mental exercise to attain greater spiritual awareness, is an umbrella term for various practices including yoga, tai chi, breathing, and mindfulness exercises, and many more.

Meditation has been associated with many mental and physiological health benefits.

Studies have shown that meditation improves symptoms of depression, anxiety, as well as concentration, and focus.

Physically, meditation has been shown to reduce inflammation and strengthen the immune system. Studies in immune-compromised (HIV and cancer) patients showed that meditation increased or reduced the decline of immune cells, and also prevented immune aging.

Mindful meditation have been suggested to regulate and restore immune signaling. Studies showed that meditation improved interferon messaging. Interferons are dysregulated in people with severe COVID symptoms and have been suggested to also drive vaccine injury. Restoring a robust interferon pathway may improve the symptoms in people suffering from long COVID and in people sharing similar symptoms.

Meditation and mindful exercises have been encouraged during the pandemic and for long COVID patients to recover from fatigue and mental distress.

Even minimal meditation improves mental health, studies have shown novice meditators who listened to a 10 minute meditation tape before attention tests received a higher score than people who did not meditate beforehand.

Some meditation guides recommend beginners start with two to five minutes of meditation whenever they want to regulate stress and emotions. However, given that meditation could mean various practices, everyone can experiment with the duration and frequency to see what works best for them.

Another peer-reviewed study has shown ivermectin to be an effective treatment against COVID-19.

The major study, which included 88,012 subjects, found that regular use of ivermectin led to a 92% reduction in COVID-19 mortality and 100% reduction in hospitalization rate.
