Dumbasses of the Day

Who Are the Racists?

According to Fox News:

The family of the Blackfeet chief who served as the face of the Washington Redskins for 48 years want his image back on the fields of the NFL, relatives told Fox News Digital.

The descendants of John Two Guns White Calf also want his incredible life story retold, too, to a new generation of Americans who seek unity and value multiculturalism. 

The White Calf family has support in Washington, D.C. from one of their Montana senators, while the NFL franchise itself, now known as the Washington Commanders, is making new efforts to honor the team’s heritage. 

“The fans want him back and we want him back,” Thomas White Calf, a great nephew of the celebrated early-20th-century native, said this week by phone, hours after the family met with Sen. Steve Daines, R-Montana. 

Two Guns White Calf’s proud portrait adorned Redskins helmets, T-shirts, playing fields and marketing materials from 1972 until 2020. 

“Our ancestor was the most famous and most photographed native in history,” said White Calf, who was joined on the call by his mother, Delphine White Calf, a niece of the late Blackfeet chief. 

“Two Guns was also the face on the Indian head nickel. I’m proud of him. The Blackfeet are proud of him.”

White Calf’s portrait and the name Redskins were erased from the NFL in 2020 following years of mounting public pressure, much of it fueled by the George Soros-funded cancel-culture group, National Congress of American Indians. ,

The celebrated Blackfeet chief and his life story were canceled even as polls showed that 90% of Native Americans supported the team name and White Calf portrait.

Live Like Animals

According to the New York Post:

Call it perfume-ative hygiene.

Experts say the daily shower has no proven health benefit, dismissing the dousing as a socially accepted practice geared toward staving off accusations of funkiness — as A-listers like Jake Gyllenhaal and Mila Kunis admit they’ve been saying no to the nozzle.

“Why are we washing? Mostly because we’re afraid somebody else will tell us that we’re smelling,” environmentalist Donnachadh McCarthy told the BBC.

The “Prostitute State” author only hoses off once per month to help the environment — a lifestyle choice inspired by spending two weeks in the Amazon with the indigenous Yanomami people, he said.

Every other morning, McCarthy told a reporter, he opts instead for a wash at the sink, using a cloth to give his body a good scrub.

And while abstaining from daily showers might seem like antisocial behavior, medical experts are inclined to lean toward agreeing with earthy types like McCarthy, saying that the modern obsession with cleanliness can actually be hazardous to one’s health.

Manhattan dermatologist Dr. Julie Russak previously told The Post that prolonged and daily showers could strip away the “skin’s microbiome,” which plays a role in protecting the skin and is “also extremely important in overall health of the body.”

Chemist David Whitlock was so adamant about preserving this dermal barrier that the bathing abstainer didn’t shower for 12 years, instead opting to spray himself with good bacteria that he claims neutralizes the body’s smell-making chemicals.

When asked about addressing critics, he told Vice: “Tell anyone who mocks you that they are betraying profound ignorance of the skin microbiome, and then walk away.”

The anti-splash backlash comes as people are actually showering more than ever before.

In 2021, researchers at Harvard Health found that 66% of Americans shower every day, while a 2005 report claims that it is common for Brits to shower once or twice per day.

“We wash our bodies so much more than we did in the past,” said Dale Southerton, a sociology professor at the University of Bristol who co-authored the UK study.

“The change has mostly come about over the past 100 years, and it was not planned,” the School of Management prof said. In fact, it seems to have happened almost by accident.”

Experts have chalked up this phenomenon to the increasing prevalence of showers, which became common in US homes circa the 1920s — and in their across-the-pond counterparts in the 1950s.

“If you go 100 years back, we didn’t shower every day, because the shower was not a normal thing to have,” declared Kirsten Gram-Hanssen, a professor in Denmark at Aalborg university’s Department of the Built Environment.

“We don’t shower because of health. We shower because it’s a normal thing to do.”

Throw in the societal stigma of not showering, and it’s no secret why people are irrigating their epidermises on the reg.

Sally Bloomfield, honorary professor at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, claimed that people shower every day because it’s “socially acceptable.”

So how much should you really shower? That depends.

“There is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to washing skin and hair,” Seattle dermatologist Joyce Park told the New York Times last year.

“The ideal frequency depends on your skin and hair type, how much you sweat and how dirty you get.”

F- Around and Find Out

According to the Washington Post:

Palestinian authorities Saturday began gathering testimony from witnesses to the shooting death of a U.S. citizen the day before in the West Bank, residents, officials and a volunteer activist said. Aysenur Eygi, 26, was killed Friday at a protest in Beita, where witnesses said she was shot in the head by Israeli forces who had opened fire.

The White House said it was “deeply disturbed” by her death and that U.S. officials had contacted Israel to request an investigation.

On Saturday, a representative of the Palestinian attorney general took affidavits from Beita residents, medics and international activists who were present when she was killed, according to Hisham Dweikat, a member of the Palestinian National Council who lives in the town, and Rob Sadler, a rights activist from Britain who attended the protest.

Later, Dweikat, who was also there when Eygi was shot, said he was contacted by someone from the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem who “asked him for every detail of what happened.” Israeli forces also returned to the scene, near the West Bank city of Nablus, to take photos and measurements and ask at least one resident, Mahmoud Abdullah, 43, for any video footage or cameras.

In a statement Friday, the Israel Defense Forces acknowledged firing on an individual in the area where the protest took place, but only said it was “looking into reports that a foreign national was killed.” It did not respond to a request for comment Saturday on the status of its review.

Eygi, who recently graduated from the University of Washington, was a volunteer with the International Solidarity Movement, a pro-Palestinian activist group, and was attending a communal prayer with Beita residents protesting the expansion of a nearby Jewish settlement, her colleagues said.
