The Absurd Lancet Estimates

The Lancet study (July 2025) and its 2026 follow-up have faced scrutiny for their methodology and the "absurdity" of their estimates. Critics and subsequent analyses highlight several potential fallacies: 

1. The "Single Source" Fallacy
Critics argue the study essentially attributes nearly all global mortality improvements from 2001 to 2021 to USAID. 
• Statistical Inconsistency: Total global lives saved during this period (if the 2001 death rate had remained constant) is estimated at roughly 79 million. The Lancet study's claim of 91.8 million lives saved by USAID suggests the agency was responsible for 100% of global progress plus another 11 million lives, ignoring the roles of other donors, domestic governments, and general economic growth.
• Disproportionality: The study attributes 47 million saved lives to progress in China
, which received negligible per capita USAID funding ($0.73/year) compared to least developed countries, where mortality actually increased by 8 million during the same period. 
2. Static Policy Assumption
The 2030 projection of 14 million deaths assumes that global funding structures and host-country responses will remain static. 
• Lack of Adaptation: Critics in The Lancet itself noted that the simulation fails to account for how governments and other donors reallocate funds, source products locally, or seek new international partners in response to U.S. cuts.
• Resilience Factors: While the authors later acknowledged that "more complex dynamics" (like domestic budget shifts) were not fully modeled, they maintained that these factors would unlikely shift the magnitude of the projected millions of deaths. 
3. Misattribution of "Saved" Lives
Critics point out that the study uses a 15% reduction in all-cause mortality as a baseline, but fails to distinguish between deaths prevented by specific health interventions (like HIV or malaria drugs) and deaths prevented by broader social factors. 
• Cause vs. Correlation: By focusing on all-cause mortality, the study may be capturing general global trends—such as improvements in agriculture, sanitation, and medical technology—and incorrectly labeling them as direct outcomes of USAID spending. 
4. Overlooked Alternative Solutions
U.S. officials and some analysts have dismissed the findings as "outdated thinking," arguing that the study presumes the "old and inefficient" global aid system is the only solution. They suggest that the shift toward trade-based investment and domestic self-reliance could mitigate the long-term impact in ways the study's models do not capture. 

Riparia vs Blue Mountain

Different scopes of work;

Riparia Environmental is a specialized environmental contractor, while NWPW (NW Porter Works) is coordinating the project with a general contractor. 

Pricing Comparison

Item	Riparia Environmental Price (per year)	NWPW Coordinated Price (per year)
Stormwater Facility Maintenance	$7,300.00	Included in the combined price
Open Tract Space Maintenance	$5,400.00	Included in the combined price
Total Annual Cost	$12,700.00	$12,700.00
Total 2-Year Cost (2026 & 2027)	$25,400.00	$25,400.00

The total costs for the two years are identical at $25,400.00 USD from both providers. The annual breakdown is also the same.

Scope of Work Differences

The primary differences appear in the detailed description of maintenance frequency and activities:

Activity/Frequency	Riparia Environmental (Image Quote Notes)	NWPW Coordinated (User Text)
Facility Visits	Maintained 4 times per year (between April and December)	Maintained 9 times per year (between April and December)
Annual Inspection	Included as "A. Annual Inspection"	Included, with report, pictures, and recommendations
Vegetation Control	Scope is general	Specific: Nuisance vegetation removed; Invasive weeds removed/treated 4 times a year
Slope Maintenance	Scope is general	Specific: Mowed/trimmed as needed; All trash removed
Inlet/Outlet Maint.	Scope is general	Specific: Cleared regularly to maintain flow; Inspected every visit
Coordination	Mentions compliance with local regulations	Specific: Works directly with regulatory bodies on behalf of the HOA

The NWPW-coordinated bid includes a s higher frequency of visits and a more detailed, specific scope of work for the same price as the Riparia Environmental quote. Riparia Environmental specializes in environmental services and compliance, offering tailored maintenance plans and expert response to storm

Both quotes cover the same total square footage of approximately 155,000 SF in cumulative area. The line items are priced identically by year for each contractor.

Detailed Annual Line Item Comparison

Service	Riparia Environmental Annual Price	NWPW Annual Price
Stormwater Facility Maintenance	$7,300.00	$7,300.00
Open Tract Space Maintenance	$5,400.00	$5,400.00
Total Annual Price	$12,700.00	$12,700.00

The pricing structure is a direct match, item for item. The primary distinction remains the level of service provided within each line item, with the NWPW-coordinated bid offering significantly more frequent visits (9 times annually versus 4).

Routine Maintenance Activities

The scope specifies that the stormwater facilities will be visited and maintained 9 times per year between April and December. These activities are included on every visit where applicable:

A. Annual Inspection

• All stormwater infrastructure within the facilities will undergo an annual visual inspection.
• An inspection report with findings, pictures, and recommendations will be submitted to the HOA.

B. Vegetation Control

• Nuisance vegetation and trees (<12" DBH) around stormwater infrastructure will be controlled and removed as needed.
• Invasive weeds within the facilities will be removed and treated 4 times a year.

C. Slope Maintenance

• Vegetation along the side slopes and bottom of the facilities will be mowed or trimmed back as needed to maintain plant health and keep the facility in code compliance.
• All blown-in trash will be removed from within the facilities.

D. Inlet and Outlet Maintenance

• Inlets and outlets will be mowed and cleared regularly to maintain proper water flow.
• Trash, vegetation, and sediment/debris will be cleared from within 10' of the structure.
• Inlets and outlets will be inspected on every visit to ensure they remain clear and functional.

E. Collaboration with Local Authorities

• NWPW will work directly with regulatory bodies on behalf of the HOA to address any stormwater concerns or requirements.

Are prominent 'Muslim' Women like Pramila Jayapal, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar et al IslamoDeviants, Islamophobic, or Anti-Islam?

Prominent 'Muslim' Women like Pramila Jayapal, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar et al advocate for gender affirming care and abortion: are they IslamoDeviants, Islamophobic or Anti-Islam

Abortion

Pramila Jayapal represents Washington's 7th Congressional District (WA-07) which includes Seattle and surrounding areas. The district is grappling with several crises regarding infrastructure, and ongoing socioeconomic challenges including a drug epidemic driven by fentanyl and new chemical variants in street drugs. Families and lawmakers have identified a critical shortage of affordable childcare and counselors as a growing systemic crisis impacting the district's workforce, making it easier to approve fraudulent Somali childcare centers. The district relies on programs like SNAP, healthcare and WIC for illigal immigrants. The 7th District continues to face one of the most severe housing shortages in the nation.

Pramila says she cares about children, yet she supports the Black Genocide . It should be noted the Farewell Sermon ( Khutbah al-Wadap) is strongly pro-life.  Yet prominent Muslim women, like Ilhan Omar and Pramila Jayapal are strongly pro-abortion, claiming it's a personal choice. 

Equality

The simplest reading of several Quranic verses suggests a framework of spiritual and moral equality: The Quran states that both men and women were created from a "single soul" and will receive the same rewards for righteous deeds (Surah 3:195, 33:35). It describes spouses as "garments" for one another (Surah 2:187), implying mutual support and comfort. At its revelation, it granted women rights to inheritance, property ownership, and the ability to testify, which were revolutionary for the 7th century.

Muslim women "free choice" is an oxymoron 

Like with the Model-T Ford, Muslim women can choose anything they want, as long as it is the one they are told. Muslim-majority nations often show lower average economic participation for women. The consequences of not choosing right can range from ostracizesation to judicial obstacles to honor killings

Gender affirming care 

Islam affirms that humans are composite beings of physical bodies and spiritual souls. The Qur'an describes God creating Adam from clay and then "breathing His spirit" (ruh) into him.

Pramila is worried "Republicans are putting the lives of trans children at risk and getting in the way of families making personal decisions for their own children." Gender affirming care is euphemism for Genital Mutilation and Depravity and against Quranic teaching. Advocates like those from organizations such as HEART (focused on reproductive justice rooted in Islamic concepts like rahma/compassion) or figures in progressive spaces (e.g., leaders in women-centered or LGBTQ-affirming mosques) argue these positions align with broader Islamic values of mercy, justice, personal agency, and community welfare. They often emphasize contextual ethics, women's autonomy, and minority rights in non-Muslim societies.However, critics (including many traditional scholars and communities) see such advocacy as departing from or rejecting core scriptural and scholarly consensus, making it "anti-Islam" in substance—even if the advocates identify as Muslim and frame it within faith.

Islamophobia typically implies external prejudice against Muslims/Islam (e.g., stereotyping or discrimination). 

The Evidence Industrial Complex declares that "these women are not exhibiting that; they are internal reformers or progressives within Islam, often facing backlash themselves for "deviating." As Aristotle  might say: Only those who have been well brought up can usefully study Islam: to the corrupted man, the man who stands outside the Tao, the very starting point of this science is invisible. He may be hostile, but he cannot be critical: he does not know what is being discussed. - Aristotle

These prominent women are not only outside the Tao, they are waging war against the Tao.

Thus, if they are not  Islamophobic,for sure  they are IslamoDeviants. Their positions  from a traditional/orthodox viewpoint, as they challenge or reinterpret teachings on gender, sexuality, and life issues in ways many see as incompatible.

Jury awards $2 million against Drs. Einhorn and H. Chin for malpractice,

If  a Jury awards $2 million against Drs. Einhorn and H. Chin for malpractice, why is it Netflix, Pramila Jaypal et al haven't been charged? If you thought doctor Faucci was an aberration in the Progressive post-truth Universe, you are wrong. It's the norm. Including the Epstein Files' virtue signaling: Democrats voted against deporting sex offenders.

Or as J. K. Rowling writes on a post on X:

A young detransitioner, Fox Varian, has won $2 million damages in a medical malpractice lawsuit, in which she sued the psychologist and surgeon who approved her for a double mastectomy, aged 16. Varian's mother testified that she'd been against the surgery, but was pressured into agreeing because she'd been told that unless her daughter transitioned she was likely to commit suicide. As the floodgates open, and more and more detransitioners sue the clinicians who subjected them to an unregulated medical experiment, gender identity activists will almost certainly continue to ignore any evidence that fails to support their preferred narrative. They'll keep insisting that hardly any transitioned people regret their irreversible procedures, that gender clinicians know exactly what they're doing, that surgeries, cross-sex hormones and puberty blockers are of proven benefit and that minors who're denied these treatments will to kill themselves. All of this is a lie. Speaking at the WPATH conference in 2021, British endocrinology consultant Leighton Seal admitted 'we are doing procedures here where we don’t have outcome data.' A woman from Utah said she felt gender clinicians like her were making it up as they went along: 'Because I feel like we’re all just winging it, you know? And which is okay, you’re winging it too. But maybe we can just, like, wing it together.' (https://thefp.com/p/were-all-just-winging-it-what-the) 

If you thought doctor Faucci was an aberration in the Progressive post-truth Universe, or gender affirming care 
you are wrong. 

This will go down in history as one of the worst medical scandals of all time. Adults inside and outside the medical profession sold troubled young people like Varian the idea that all of their complex trauma would be resolved by removing healthy body parts. As more and more detransitioners arrive in court, the public will learn the full extent of the harm done to kids in the name of an ideology. Clinicians performing these 'treatments' will go down in history as barbarous activists who betrayed a sacred oath: to do no harm. But we should never forget how many people outside the medical profession urged these young people on, gleefully assuring them that anyone advising caution was an evil bigot. There are people in elitist professions like publishing and academia, not to mention politicians and celebrities with young fan bases, who did all they could to champion the idea of gender identity, and kept pushing it even as the evidence of harm mounted. They're just as culpable as the clinicians. Too lazy to think more deeply than the fashionable mantras that got them social media likes, too arrogant to look at evidence from anyone outside their political bubble, they've slurred whistleblowers and attacked anyone with valid questions. In doing so, they've created a cultural climate without which this appalling tragedy could not have taken place. Never forget, because only by learning the lesson can we stop this happening again.

Federal investigation into gender-affirming care

@OIGatHHS

- Johns Hopkins Hospital and Health System including, but not limited to, the Johns Hopkins Center for Transgender and Gender Expansive Health and the Johns Hopkins Emerge Gender and Sexuality Clinic- for failing to meet recognized standards of healthcare.   Over recent weeks, more than 30 hospitals and hospital systems including some of the largest in the nation have announced they are no longer performing sex-mutilating and sex-rejecting procedures for minors.  Those hospital systems are to be commended for making the right decision after making irreversible terrible decisions that harmed and permanently damaged children.  Sadly, other hospitals and hospital systems are continuing to perform heinous and horrific acts of intentional permanent harm to minors including, allegedly, Johns Hopkins Hospital and Health System. We will not stop until every single child is protected from the destruction of the integrity of God’s chosen human body.  

@SecKennedy

’s declaration made clear that sex-rejecting procedures for children and adolescents are not safe and not effective.  Far from it.  Sex-rejecting procedures are incredibly damaging and contrary to acceptable standards of healthcare.

Conclusion

Ironically, any criticism levied at Pramila Jayapal et al is often characterized by them  legacy media and Democrats as Islamophobic. It's not racial profiling. It's not bigotry. It's not cruelty. Its not inhumanity. It's not xenophobia. It's not Islamophobia.

Phobia is an intense, irrational, and persistent fear of a specific object, situation, or activity. 

A fact-based realist is a person that prioritizes objective evidence, data, and practical realities over idealistic, theoretical, or subjective perspectives. If anything, Pramila, Ilhan et al are IslamoDeviants.
