Thanks Jeff I work in a hospital dental department. Every week we get a Covid report on hospitalizations and numbers in ICU divided into vaxxed and unvaxed. For the past two weeks the number of vaxxed people hospitalized has been greater than the number of unvaxed. Surprisingly? the hospital told us that they were not going to be breaking up the cases between vaxxed and unvaxed anymore because it was too hard to determine cases, etc etc. funny huh?

An imaging nurse friend of mine just sent me a text and said they were swamped with kids getting mri’s and other scans. I asked her if it was heart issues and she said, “all kinds of things...cancer, “autism”,

developmental issues. She’s very liberal so I’m sure she doesn’t connect the dots.

A health department employee was being interviewed on a local radio station. The employee burst the interviewers' bubble when he admitted that "most" patients coming into hospital are vaccinated, included boosted.

I'd love to have seen the look on their faces (the interview was on video), but I couldn't see them because of the stupid masks.

Did they report more "vaxed" or unvaxed cases? Just curious.

Oh there are more vaxed hospitalized than there are unvaxed. that is why suddenly they are going to stop reporting the differences between vaxed and unvaxed. In my opinion

Oregon is in shambles. One set of people are so brainwashed that I don’t believe they will ever come out of their covid coma. Brownstain fostered a communist agenda over there where neighbors told on neighbors for not wearing muzzles. Strangers in the grocery stores got in the faces of anyone daring to think for themselves. Little old ladies and grown men calling the police and reporting businesses who were open and defying government orders. Families are fragmented because the government orders were to stay away from family unless they got injected or showed negative tests. It has been a travesty over there.

I darn near lost my best friend of over 30 years because of covid BS before we left. It currently is still fragmented. Probably will never fully recover to what it once was which breaks my heart.

More recently many areas have given Brownstain the middle finger with smiles on. Many have taken the muzzles off and decided to just live life.

Unfortunately, Oregon really did not stand up collectively to stop what happened to them. They rolled with it believing Brownstain would come to her senses and be reasonable. We moved from there in 2020 because we knew that was never going to happen. And it hasn’t. Instead she doubled down.

Don’t think for a minute that most of the government in Oregon is not bought and paid for, as well as many have been placed in their position. They control a few counties and dictate to the rest of the state, and the people abhor it.

Do not lump the people of Oregon into Brownstain’s communist loving, self appointed god complex, anti-American dictatorship.

After 40 years in Oregon I believe they just didn’t come together in ways to make the biggest impact and stand up together as citizens. Not for lack of trying. Two recalls of Brownstain were manipulated by her government cronies in the same way Newscum slithered his way back in.

The people don’t want any of them, Inslee in Washington included.

Just some perspective to chew on 😉

I never watch TV, but I was in a restaurant that had "the news" on -- and the images were very frightening, even with no sound -- I don't give a rat's underpants about covid, but I instinctively felt my heart rate go up and anxiety building just from the pictures-- some "story" about something -- maybe just "cases in MA?," but the visuals were hospitals, workers in full Contagion Suits, people hooked up with a thousands tubes in them, people being wheeled in (or out) of hospitals (or dead?), kids in masks, ambulances, scrolling DEATH COUNTS (OMG!)

The media really did a number on us (with government encouragement of course.) The vents and tubes and dying alone like a leper is the most terrifying part. I'm never going near a hospital again, if I can help it. (Knock on wood!)

I read an article, I think in the Expose, that stated a doctor had found that most of his vaccinated patients emitted some number signal.

Yes. I can’t say my friendships are totally lost, but I think the relationship is probably very strained for a long time. I’m sure when covid is over, they’ll sweep this all behind them and pretend like it never happened. My eyes have been opened though. I can’t believe how many otherwise good people are happy when they see their coworkers fired, will overcome any moral stance they had on “bodily autonomy”, talk openly of denying the unvaccinated medical care, etc. It’s hurtful. I’m going to forgive, but I think that when this is all over I’ll have moved on to another state, or another group of friends and it just won’t go back to the way it was.

Portland and Eugene. A lot of people from California moved up and brought their libtard policies with them.

Please sign-circulate & donate to California's new school choice initiative, The Educational Freedom Act. Even if it fails, "Teachers" Unions will have to spend hundreds of millions to kill it, which could otherwise reelect commie-Dems, thereby weakening Mordor. If it passes, it destroys the monopoly & the main source of commie-dem funding.

Parents are nuts if they don't push vouchers NOW, everywhere. Many states have the legislative majority to pass them without petition. "Rs" who sabotage or won't get on board are actual or de facto Undocumented Ds. Major establishment RINOs helped commies kill the first 2 voucher initiatives in 1993 & 2000. But the Unions had to outspend proponents 20-1, far more if you account for in-kind spending, e.g. union teachers infiltrating homeschool groups to spread unfounded fear of vouchers.

Oh Portland is all that too! We (and lots of others) stopped going to Portland unless we had to, years ago. And yes the govt has tons of them scared to do anything without permission. Brownstain is funded by Soros and China. That was brought out last year or 2020 can’t remember. She controls the oregon health authority. She weaponized oregon osha (I believe the testing ground for the biden regime - because her crack at it succeeded in oregon. My thought is her success is what gave the regime the confidence to try and push it through federally 🤷‍♀️) She has the super majority and appointed oregon Supreme Court judges. They whole thing is all inbred. Sound familiar?

You see Washougal in Washington, the students at a high school there have stood up and are saying no more muzzles. Where are all the Oregon parents standing up against this permanent muzzle garbage??? Too scared to fight back. Brownstain has made them afraid of their friends and families as well as her govt as well as police enforcers. It’s pretty sad. Still waiting for courage for Oregonians to hit this hard and fast. I haven’t given up on them.

Re Facebook bans, and those of all other Marxist social engineering outlets, I want to know how many deaths have occurred (and will) as a DIRECT result of their silencing of true facts which may have helped people make more informed judgements.

Whether it's masks (how many went out thinking protected when not, and suffered or died) or vaccines (how many might not have taken them if they had know the TRUTH about risk of harm), how many have died at the hands of the censors?

I asked YouTube directly in my appeal to their deletion of what I regard as the most important (very short) video yet made about the vaccines ( https://www.bitchute.com/video/D5jeDwOKI4x6/) - How many will die and regret their vaccine shots, when they wouldn't have taken it if only they had known the other side of the coin?

I foresee (dream of) a time when these people will be dragged out of their cushioned Silicon Valley offices to face trial for real-world death and injury caused by their tyrannical censorship and alignment with the swamp-crooks. There is blood on many hands. We need to inspect every hand in any position of power, and where there's blood, there must be trials and convictions. That's my biggest hope for the future. JUSTICE.

It goes even farther than just "censorship"--when my mom and brother received the shot, they were told NOTHING about possible side-effects (except a sheet telling them what to do if they had arm pain!)! They didn't have to sign a form acknowledging their choice to receive it, nothing. A doctor friend (who got it because she wanted to continue to work) had to initial FIVE pages of a release before signing it. The general public? NOT. When my mom asked, "What's in this anyway?" She was told not to worry about it and just take it. Insane.

I totally agree, but as far as I am concerned, the medico swines will get theirs, that should be a given.

If you haven't seen it, look up a documentary called "Sweet Misery", about Aspartame and also interestingly covering Donald Rumsfeld's involvement.

I’m glad you touched on Spotify today. “Grumpy Cat” Neil Young vs. Joe Rogan. Hehehe. Said, “Grump” represents the granddaddy of all examples of a seemingly cognizant and reasonably intelligent human being fragmenting into a multi-dysfunctional, egocentric thug. Mr. Grumpy Cat, and those of similar ilk, grasp tightly to “stubbornly persistent illusions,” (an admittedly unfit use of the phrase) and quickly get so emotionally jacked up that even the slightest hint of objectivity drifts off into a Bermuda Triangle like void, and with it any chance for rational thinking or discourse. (Is rational discourse between disagreeing parties even possible anymore?) Once it becomes incumbent on these types of one dimensional surface researchers to articulate a salient point of view, it will most assuredly be revealed that they don’t have even ONE that isn’t almost driven entirely by emotion OR is so mortally tainted by media bias that any information to the contrary, regardless of the source, is rejected out of hand...ie, objectivity. Like a cornered wild animal, lashing out is instinctually hard wired as the only recourse; in this case threatening anyone and anything in the general vicinity. “Someone’s got to pay, damn it! Don’t they know who I am?!”

I’m not even saying Mr. Grumpy Cat is wrong in his beliefs, but when his first order of business is to immediately throw off the gloves because someone holds a different perspective….well, that’s suspect to me; credibility is shot. Aside from that, he doesn’t - or shouldn’t have - a problem with Joe Rogan, but rather, his guests, don’t you think? Why doesn’t he take it up with them? Yes, why DOESN’T the Twangmeister set up a ZOOM call and have a go at schooling Dr. Malone and Dr. McCollough on the intricate inner workings of their lifelong professions; set them straight, as it were……..Safer to attack the host, I suppose. Maybe Malone should give him a jingle and educate him on the functioning nuts and bolts of the music industry? That only seems fair. Or better yet, maybe Grumps should reach out to Eric Clapton and remind him that he really didn’t experience any toxic effects from these life saving shots at all. “Clap, it’s all in your head, buddy…tighten up!”

Rogan’s no dummy. He knows how to play this game. His propensity to NOT let guests slide their way out of direct questions - as was the case with Gupta and Ivermectin - is one of his greatest strengths. He might, in all likelihood, invite Mr. Grumpy Cat on the show and give him a chance to air his particular grievances. We call this a “set up.” Given ample time, he would supply Mr. Grumpy with just enough rope to sufficiently hang himself. However, I highly doubt that Grumps would accept, and for the same inane reasons that scared Lebron James from accepting an olive branch from an LA officer to discuss - sans media bias - a boots on the ground perspective on the reality of police shootings….it might just somehow result in thick, smoldering backfire residue. Gotta keep that narrative intact with no signs of weakness or compromise.

Most puzzling is that El Grumpo wrote a song called “Keep on Rockin in the Free World.” I’m not exactly sure what “free world” he is referring to, but evidently it has something to do with going to any lengths to squash opinions that are not precisely in line with his philosophies and ideologies. Free, indeed.

Freedom means nothing to those who do not know how to properly define it.

Something I never understood about protecting the elderly in long-term care facilities (AKA nursing homes)... Who's lives there because they CHOOSE IT?? My mother was in a nursing home from June 2020 until she died in September of 2021. Much of that time, the nursing home was on "lock down" and we (her children) were not allowed to visit. I can tell you, my mother had a HORRIBLE quality of life during the last 15 months, and she would have OPTED OUT of lock down, and gladly died of Covid to escape her horrible existence in social isolation, completely dependent upon nursing home staff to do the smallest tasks. She couldn't even take a sip of water, without assistance. Those confined to long-term care facilities are not the population to protect. My mother would agree - if she were still with us, that population should have been granted every opportunity to enjoy their last days visiting and receiving loving care from their friends and loved ones. Seems like CMS and insurance $$$ could be a strong motivator to protect that population. Just shameful.

Thanks, Jeff. I read this just after hearing on National Propaganda Radio that the January jobs report showed a *positive* number of 467,000, and that the Nov and Dec numbers had *also* been revised up by a total of about 700,000 *more* jobs for those two months than previously reported. A little digging showed me that these latter are Dept of Labor numbers, while the one you reported is an ADP number - in other words, yours is related to actual payroll numbers, and not massaged into a message. Clown world, indeed. How is any normal person supposed to make any sense of this?
