GOP's "Crusade" Against ... Taylor Swift?

It's pretty obvious Fox News can't exist without GOP, as they feed off each other. But today, both seem to picked an opponent they don't realize they how much of a juggernaut will be... The mega-star Taylor Swift. Yes, that Swift. 

I am NOT a Swiftie. I like her music well enough, but I liked a LOT of artists, and I have eclectic tastes in music, from speed metal to country, I listen to all sorts of stuff. But this is not about my tastes. 

It's how Fox News (and presumably, GOP), turned on Swift... because she Instagram'ed at her followers to register to vote. Not for any party leaning, just "register to vote, and exercise your rights". 

Now you're probably going: why would Fox/GOP be hostile to that? Turns out, younger voters tend to vote blue

Now that Swift is dating Travis Kelce, Kelce, who was never political, was getting Fox pundit ill wishes such as "how will his heart break: by Swift, or the COVID vaccine". This is all well documented on X / Fox News. 

Apparently, Swift, who's rich, has a rich family, and is lily white, is an enemy of Fox and GOP values because she tends to lean Democrat (for whatever her reasons are, not relevant) though has mostly remained neutral. And Kelce is getting ill wishes because he's close to Swift... collateral damage. 

But has Fox / GOP bitten off more they can chew this time?

How Many More Dead Trying to Prove Medicine Wrong?

Jessie "Boss Lee" Ward has passed away from stage 4 colon cancer recently. While any death is tragic, hers is noticeably so because she had chosen to squander her remaining time since diagnosis on "alternative treatments", and used it as a marketing opportunity. 

She was diagnosed in March, 2023. But instead of following the advice of her doctor, who allegedly told her that she'd be "dead by Christmas" without treatment, she decided to ignore all that advice, decided it's the just sales pitch (that she used to recruit 12000 downlines and hundreds of thousands of followers on social media). 

No, she will go with FOUR unproven therapies instead: hyperbaric oxygen chamber, "magnetic" treatment (whatever that is), "ozone treatment" (whatever that is), and "red-light treatment" (whatever that is). After surgery to remove bits of her intestine, that is. 

Basically, she decided to emulate Steve Jobs, and got the same results. 

For those of you who don't remember, Steve Jobs died back in 2011 of pancreatic cancer. It was actually diagnosed back in 2003, and even though his own family and his doctors urged him to cut it out ASAP, he chose to try eating vegan, take herbal remedies, and acupuncture. They did a CT scan 8 months later... it didn't work. By then, the cancer had spread. He finally had the surgery, but the operation didn't get it all, eventually leading to a liver transplant in 2009, and that only gave him a few extra years until 2011. 

Many doctors opined that Steve Jobs had the ONLY pancreatic cancer that's treatable and curable. By ignoring the available treatment, he had basically committed suicide. 

Jessie can't even claim that. If she operated immediately and do chemo, she may make it to 5 years, according to stories she shared. But instead, she claimed she didn't even gave chemo to her dog that had cancer. But no, she wants "holistic approach", which is just... quack med. 

Not unexpected, since she's also the VP of Pruvit, a "Ketone" health supplement MLM company. Selling stuff on little to no evidence is her bread and butter. 

Unfortunately, she sold woo to herself this time, and she paid the ultimate price. She didn't even make it to Christmas. 

How many more will die to prove that "alternative meds" don't work?
