Sydney Sweeney Fitness and Sorority Girl Nationalism GAINZZZ

Lefties are still upset that Trump is reinstating the presidential fitness standards for students.

Trump focus on health is not 'inclusive' enough
A history professor said she generally supports President Donald Trump's interest in promoting health but criticized his plan to revive the Presidential Fitness Test.

Don't buy this jive turkey's jive that she supports Trump's health initiatives generally. You'll see.

"Trump is reviving an outdated and problematic practice for American schoolkids," reads the headline of Professor Natalia Petrzela's recent essay for MSNBC.
...

Petrzela criticized the appearance of a WWE wrestler, Paul Levesque, at the press conference.
"The swaggering, solo, white machismo is obvious -- and about as far a cry as it gets from Beyoncé dancing with a cafeteria full of New York City schoolkids to promote the Obamas' program," The New School professor wrote. "And of course, the WWE is primarily an entertainment franchise, not an athletic one, a fact that is both perfectly on brand for the Trump administration and further suggests this effort might be more show than substance."

1, of course you're yammering about Beyonce, who is the only person anyone is allowed to look up to because she's black and a feminist.

2, you just objected to including a WWE wrestler because he's in the entertainment business, not athletics -- and then you immediately praise Beyonce, a singing whore with more plastic in her than a 1984 Corvette, as a great athletic hero for children.

I'm serious about this -- are all professors, you know, actually retarded now? Are they incapable of following their own line of argument within a single paragraph?

"I too am deeply concerned about the lack of exercise among American children and adults, and am thrilled this is an administration priority," she wrote.

Oh yeah, obviously. Big fan. It's so apparent.

But the professor also criticized Trump for not focusing on an "inclusive" approach to sports like that of President John F. Kennedy.
"Gone is JFK's emphasis on inclusive, publicly funded recreation," she wrote. "And, crucially, JFK supported vaccines and Medicare."

That's her idea of "inclusive health initiatives" -- injections and subsidies.

I wanted to warn all of you about this, because I know my readership tends to be good-looking and fit and getting all kinds of GAINZZZ.

But be aware: People may see your fitness and hotness and brand you as MAGA due to your healthiness and good looks.

Since President Donald Trump's return to the White House, I've noticed a steady stream of rhetoric that attempts to make health and fitness partisan.
If you're fit and enjoy working out (or even sport a tan), chances are there's a progressive who will eye you with suspicion of being MAGA.
t's an extreme example of the "if-Trump-is-for-it, we-must-be-adamantly-against-it" mentality that has infected the left.
To borrow a phrase from former Democratic vice presidential contender Tim Walz, it's weird.
...
The rise in obesity and the decline in health is especially disheartening when it comes to the country's kids.
According to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2024 report, about 20% of children are obese (2 in 5 adults are obese). That's a sharp increase from when childhood obesity rates were 5% in the 1970s.
Not only is this a national health concern, it's a national security one, as Trump acknowledges in his executive order.
The CDC report found that only 2 in 5 young adults are weight-eligible and active enough to serve in the military.
Yet, Trump's commonsense approach to boost fitness was met with consternation among media progressives.
"Trump is reviving an outdated and problematic practice for American schoolkids," proclaimed MSNBC.
"Generations of Americans who struggled to complete a pull-up in front of their classmates winced as President Trump announced that he was reinstating the annual assessment," The New York Times opined.
Leftists also have thoughts about fitness for adults and what it says about conservatism.
Earlier this year, fitness influencer MaryBeth Monaco-Vavrik posted a video that went viral connecting the "popularization of Pilates & running instead of strength training ... and the rise of extreme American authoritarianism." She also equated conservatism with "smaller bodies."

It may surprise you to learn that this woman is conventionally fit. But she's using her own fitness to sell obesity and ill-health to leftwing women.

Men, on the other hand, must avoid looking too manly and the trap of toxic masculinity and the "manosphere," which liberals tell us have flourished under Trump. For instance, actor Sacha Baron Cohen's appearance on the August cover of Men's Fitness UK sparked criticism over his newly chiseled body.
One headline said his physique "is repellent to most women."
...
In 2024, a columnist in The Guardian warned, "There is a dark side to wellness, which I always, for shorthand, thought of as political: getting fit makes you more rightwing."
And now, enjoying sunshine and getting a tan could mark you as a MAGA fanatic. After all, Trump and his health secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., sport a perennial bronze shade.
As The Atlantic recently observed: "Tanning is back. Only this time, it's not just about looking good -- it's about embracing an entire ideology."

Absolutely vile lunatics.

I've been getting some GAINZZZ. I've stuck to vigorous walking (so long as it's not 100 degrees outside or p*ssing rain).

Another study proves the value of just walking around for a spell.

An analysis of over 36,000 people with high blood pressure has shown that taking more steps, even below the recommended daily target of 10,000 steps, and walking faster, is associated with a significant reduction in the risk of major problems of the heart and blood vessels.
The study, published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, found that compared to a daily step count of 2,300 steps, every extra 1,000 steps was linked to a 17% reduction in the risk of developing a major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE), up to 10,000 steps. Additional steps above 10,000 were associated with a lower risk of stroke.

...
Professor Emmanuel Stamatakis, Director of the Mackenzie Wearables Research Hub at the University of Sydney, Australia, who supervised the study, said, "This study is one of the first to demonstrate a dose-response relationship between daily step count and major problems of the heart and blood vessels.
"In a nutshell, we found that, if you live with high blood pressure, the more you walk with greater intensity, the lower your risk for future serious cardiovascular events.

By the way, the leftwing propaganda media is continuing its five-days-old psyop claiming that only a few "online weirdos" pushed the Sydney Sweeney White Supremacy meme, so rightwingers are the ones really "obsessed" with it and must stop blaming Democrats.

John Sexton quotes the New York Times' effort.

They claimed that progressives were up in arms over the intentional double-entendre with the word "genes," suggesting it was winking at eugenics or white supremacy.
In reality, most progressives weren't worked up much at all.
Criticism of the ad campaign had come almost entirely from a smattering of accounts with relatively few followers, according to an analysis of social media data by The New York Times.

A "smattering of accounts with relatively few followers."

One video accusing the brand of Nazis got four million views.

Initial reactions were largely apolitical, though some progressives criticized the ad's sexual overtones while some on the right applauded a return to "traditional advertising" in what they viewed as a step away from more diverse representations. But on the fringes of sites including TikTok and X, some users began suggesting that the campaign had a more subtle and menacing message tied to eugenics: that blond, blue-eyed looks are somehow superior.

One video getting four million views is "the fringes of TikTok"?

"She has good jeans like she has good GENES! hahahaha like in a nazi way!!" stated a July 25 post on X that drew over five million views. The next day, a video on TikTok that also made a comparison to Nazism drew 3.5 million views.

So who's to blame for this misrepresentation of the sane and sober left forming a slavering cancel mob over nothing at all? Who is the guilty party in spreading this RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION about leftwing influencers and drama-farmers shrieking about White Supremacy for going on three weeks?

Would you believe... it's all Libs of TikTok's fault?

Again?

The tide began to shift on July 27, when large right-wing accounts such as Libs of TikTok began reposting critiques of the American Eagle campaign, mocking them as examples of "triggered" liberals. "Keep this up Democrats," posted the account, which is run by a woman named Chaya Raichik and has 4.3 million followers on X. "This is going to be great for you guys."

BTW, you see once again that all of the NPCs say the same thing. First someone says it on Slate or New Republic, then Rolling Stone says the same thing, then the NYT says the same thing. Once one of these idiots is infected with the Retarded Meme of the Day, they're all repeating it verbatim within hours.

They're liars. For one thing, it wasn't "just a few online weirdos," it was dozens of prominent" influencers, and we know that female and minority influencers strongly influence the Democrat Party.

And of course, the leftwing media itself pushed it hard:

just ignore the facts you can see with your own eyes and Trust the Media Experts https://t.co/5S9jJglso6 pic.twitter.com/IjbraMfvG9
— The Reaping Phase (@AceofSpadesHQ) August 7, 2025

Leftwing women are also melting down about sorority sisters doing dances to drum up interest in joining them.

I guess in a couple of days Dave Weigel will tell us that no leftwing women melted down over this video, it was all LibsofTikTok's doing.

Strom comments:

This version of sexuality is innocent in the way that Tracey and Hepburn movies were, which is to say they are and are not. They are suggestive, but only because we recognize the unspoken and unseen. They are red-blooded, not pornographic in the way that the alphabet crowd is.
The reason why the left is going nuts over them is that they are not Queer. They celebrate the differences between the sexes, at least implicitly.
This trend is not really a rebirth of the old ways, but a symbol that the left can no longer suppress the natural exuberance that comes from healthy human relations.

11 "Gone is JFK's emphasis on inclusive, publicly funded recreation," she wrote. "And, crucially, JFK supported vaccines and Medicare."

Vaccines then consisted mostly of the DPT combo (diphteria-pertussis-tetanus) (except for exotic ones given to those serving in disease-ridden countries in Africa). And I thought "Medicare" was not passed until LBJ's term. Was JFK on record as supporting the plan earlier?

These people lie, or write what they say without examining facts. As Dorothy Parker said about one book she reviewed: "It was written without fear and without research."

Medicare was created in 1965, after Kennedy was assassinated. While he supported senior citizen health care paid for by government, it was LBJ who pushed it through.

63 Let me start by reinforcing how much I care about each of you and your health, and that I am proud of anyone working toward a healthier lifestyle. If you are losing more than 2 pounds a week, you are probably losing too fast and will struggle with sustaining it. The more weight you have to lose, the quicker it will come off in the beginning, but averaging out it should be a steady 2lbs a week. Don’t weigh yourself 800 times a day. If you are, throw your scale out the window. Weigh every day at the same time, IF you can understand the importance of weekly numbers, not the fluctuations that can happen daily. If not, stand on the scale backwards and have someone else write the number down.

That may be a little too aggressive, depending on your starting weight and body composition. 1-2 pounds a week is the generally recognized rate of weight loss for long-term weight control. However, congratulations on your motivation and actions. Just be careful!

Nope.

I got fat, decided to get not-fat, and cut my daily caloric intake to 1200-1400 with very few carbs, plus daily walking/running.

I melted 50 lbs in about 5-6 months and I'm still here. I did lose some muscle mass as well but it's not like I came out looking like a concentration camp survivor. I ate clean for another six months and did some light to moderate weight lifting and got back to baseline.

If you want to lose fat you have to be in a pretty serious caloric deficit.

May - The cat Snowflake staying with me at night trapped and relocated. Lawyer comes up with a deal for the house. My brother agrees and changes his mind on the last day when I was supposed to sign.

June - Horrible house stuff Part three. Brother took some stuff. Not much. I lost them as family...but that's more a GAINZZZ. I have no more family. The rest call for funerals. I'm good.

I'll look into it more carefully. So far it works well and I feel fine, and not even hungry. Brave AI sez 1600-2000 cals/day for old farts like me.

I did a severe diet in the 1980s-1990s when I was on a cardio kick. Airdyne four times a week, hiking 25 miles per week, 150 situps every night, on only 600 cals/day. I got down to 154 lbs, average resting heart rate 44. I felt great physically. Friends were concerned, but I think it's the healthiest I've ever been, and believe it added years to my lifespan. Then in 1996 I fell back into bad habits and gradually went back up to 205.

I'll look more into it. I did not expect it would be dangerous. My doctor knows about it.

Holding to 187-192, my weight range in 1983, ever since. Limited lifting due to knee trouble - but for 29 year old, arm work is as high as it's ever been,

Added an hour of weights 4x a week, dropped calories more. Finally got more scale movement.

170 GAINZZZ!

June - The cat Snowflake was found. She went from a Lizzo 12 pounds back down to her normal 8.5 pounds. She is staying with me, is weighed every morning like a pageant girl and is hovering about 10 pounds. The house officially became mine on the last day of the month.

July - I took a week off. Just rested. Booze and edibles but not too much because I have a cat and dog to take care of. My friend took me to their trailer for a day and a half. That was the first time out of the house overnight in 9.9 years.

I haven't had any booze or edibles in a month.

I'm sleeping better than ever. I've taken zzzQuil maybe once a week. Melatonin and natural Super Sleep from Costco about once a week too.

Most of my computer programs and accounts have been recovered or replaced.

My friends had me over for cake for my birthday. That was so nice.

I've been in contact with two of my Mother's oldest - age and length of time - friends. One, a friend of my Mother's from the convent received the two big boxes of Mom's stuff yesterday and was so happy. I bring the dog Ralphy to visit Mom's other friend in town who is 90. We bring something from Tim's.

Dang...to be cont. I guess..

I suddenly realized that as I rushed through set-up it had the default setting for female, and I switched it to male, which I really am, plus athletic mode because I work out a lot.

Am I really that low?I don't know. The bioimpedence thingamajig at the gym shows me at 27%, but that is ridiculously high based on waist, hip and other measurements.

I guess so long as I can bench press my grandkids I'm good, because they insist on me throwing them up for some hang time and laugh like demented maniacs.

How could they be racist, you ask?

Well, you see, Hispanic and black students have higher rates of obesity, and jut can't even do any of the tests, much less pass them, so physical fitness tests are just another way to fail and hold back minorities, deny them an education and impose white privilege.

Remember, it was the Democrats saying this, not the KKK. (Oh, wait.)

The racism of low expectations taken to its ultimate conclusion.

Never mentioned is the whole point of the physical fitness requirements, to encourage kids to exercise, erat right, lose weight and get healthy for the own benefit. The Left was like, "Nah, they fat, and you're just fat-shaming the brown and black kids. Asking them to improve is an outrageous act of white supremacy."

224 I think they DO feel that being fit is white supremacy. Fit people understand long term goals, personal responsibility, determination and self reliance.Also for men: testosterone boost.

It is the opposite of victimization, submission, hopelessness, and ingratitude. Hard to be a socialist/Democrat once you’ve experienced this.

Sort of a ‘so wrong it’s true’ belief by the Leftists.

231 GAINZZZ - part 2.

The basement is thoroughly cleaned. People with OCD would be impressed. Air ducts were washed. Throughout the house, whatever I didn't like got brought to Goodwill or given away.

There were a ton of large plastic plants and SOOoooo much Christmas stuff.

I just have a few more things to clean up and a few renovations that have to be completed and the house is mine. After I hang some art.

After that, I already know what I want to be doing for income so I'd like to give that a shot while keeping the dog alive.

Last GAINZZZ.

I talked with a lot of my neighbours. I'm very blessed. Boy, the stories I heard about families going crazy for cash when peop,e die.

I was very blessed because I was alone and the only one hurt during this entire ordeal.

I forgave my brother on day 8. I've been rewiring my brain to laugh whenever I think of any painful memories, not just the last while. My worries are left to God.

On day 34, I now deal with any anger by remembering how truly loved and appreciated I was by my Mother and Father. I have no regrets.

Lots of loss. Lots of GAINZZZ!

There's a lot of vacuum in my life. I'm anxious to see how God fills it. Thanks all.

Posted by: Lady in Black

You have to take the oven temperature up above the smoke point of the oil you are seasoning with.
Beef tallow 480 °F
Ghee 482
Lard 375
Duck fat 374

What is seasoning?
Seasoning is a layer of carbonized oil that's been baked onto your cast iron pan, forming a protective layer on top of your cookware. It's what gives your skillet a natural, easy-release finish and makes cooking and cleaning a breeze.

The Left police their own members (especially the women) to never have sex with a conservative, while those on the right have learned more and more never to "stick your dick in crazy," which means there is a population divergence, and two distinct hominid species are at this moment separating and going down two diverging evolutionary paths.

Cast Iron. Teflon is just synthetic carbon. A well “seasoned” cast iron pan is better than teflon in several ways.

That’s why Grandma would cut your nuts off if you fucked with it. The heat retention (mass) of cast iron makes them unsurpassed for frying, sautéing and all that other ghey shit too. I like the way taters and eggs and everything just browns up better.

299 244 226 There is an increasingly popular trend of grown adults using pacifiers, or binkies to ‘relieve stress’.

I think these folks using pacifiers probably have a dislike for organized religion and particularly Catholicism .

311 "Trump is reviving an outdated and problematic practice for American schoolkids," reads the headline of Professor Natalia Petrzela's recent essay for MSNBC.
____________________________

Trump is honing in on Petrzela's grift. She runs some program at the New School in NYC that operates on sponsors and grants from the Rockefeller foundation and some others. It's called Health 2.0...and reads like a bunch of DEI nonsense pretending to promote good health. It's currently on hiatus, which makes you wonder of the Rockefeller Foundation was just a cash depot for taxpayer monies.

My guess is that Petrzela's goal was to take her nonsense national, with all that cool green cash that comes along with such boondoggles. This Presidential Fitness thing sort of intrudes on that business plan.

We need more shame in society. If you're a soft-handed dough-body, you should feel bad about it.

That shame helps build resolution to be something better.

One of the reasons I joined Da Army (but only on weekends!) was because I was not satisfied with who I was. I wanted to be more resilient, stronger, and also experience Athlete's Foot.

Well, maybe not that last one.

327 “I followed the directions”

There’s yer problem. Most of them are faulty, the oil has to be carbonized. This makes tons of smoke, and people don’t like that. So you’ll see shit like “heat at 250F”.

Vegetable oils are not a good idea for seasoning. Coupled with insufficient heat (too low a temp) you end up with a sticky, rancid mess. Cast iron will rust underneath to add insult to injury.

With cast iron, the item will be coal black, indicating the oil has carbonized. It’s a lot like spit shining a boot with kiwi. Many many thin layers versus trying to lay down a thick layer all at once.

Best done outdoors, on a grill. Or wait till SWMBO is out of town visiting her sister or something.

331 I'm pretty darned skilled at seasoning my cast iron skillets and use them often. I also got carbon steel. It's been a nightmare and can't tell you how many times I've tried to season it according to its directions, only to have it not work and have to re-scour it with salt and scrubber and start the process all over. Maybe I'm a dummy, but I do not like mine.
Posted by: Lady in Black
======
Yours might have some nickel in the mix or the heat treatment of the carbon steel is not up to par. Nickel in steel can make it sticky when heated up (same issue with firearms using nickel steel). Case hardening of carbon steel but leaving a malleable interior, which is ideal for less sticky cookware is kind of an art . Difficult to pull off in thin surfaces (also why case hardened carbon knives can be slick as glass but break if dropped).

FWIW, this was the problem of the old Springfield 1903 and its bolt--hard, slick as glass, but could shatter upon impact like glass. The old timers at Springfield Armory did not use pyrometers to measure the temp--they did it by eyeball mark I.

Take batteries out of fire alarms as well.

I have cast iron, too big a pita to use with my handicaps nowadays. I use green pans with the ceramic non stick and buy new ones when the ceramic coating starts chipping or thinning. Then again, I have an inductive range which I prefer frankly after learning its issues than either gas or radiant.

The girls aren't actually dancing to YMCA. Look at the second one. Clearly doing a country line dance at the beginning. And they're not *quite* on the beat. Someone took the original video and set it to YMCA.
