New study closes the case on natural immunity; DeSantis trumps teachers' unions; beagles saved from big pharma; big pharma finances dems; mask mandates creeping back; anti-wokeness; and much more...
Anyone with their head NOT in the sand could have seen the Starbucks fiasco. WOKE mayors + WOKE city council = WOKE cities. They vote to defund the police and wonder why this stuff happens. They are idiots. We are right in the middle of a cultural and spiritual war. Thank Almighty God that I am believer and know what side ALWAYS wins in the end.
Thank you Jeff for continuing the fight and delivering the best content in one place to get accurate and up to date information on the internet.
Yes bad coffee, and unhealthy additives(GMO's etc). Also the coffee plantations in Brazil that supply Starbucks use child labor--I mean slave labor. Macrotrends estimates its value as: $125 Bil. Annual revenue for 2020 was:$23 Bil. Shareholders include BlackRock,Vanguard,Magellan, and Howard Schultz.
Yes it does. I once talked to a former barista who told me the protocol is to burn the beans first, then roast them. The sludge that results is gag worthy.
Just found out our smallish community in rural Illinois is getting a Starbucks. Our nice local coffee shop is closing because some town big wigs son destroyed the coffee shop owners rental apartment they had and they have to close to get that repaired. Arse 🕳 declared bankruptcy and snuck home to live with daddy $$$. Disgusting. Yeah. Starbucks coffee kind of sucks.
Right. Familiar with this scenario. And the lockdowns drove many small business owners out of business, as most of us are aware. That said--what will it take to get more folks on board with boycotting the corporate behemoths? BTW--was reading up on Starbucks history this morning and Lo!...what inspired the creation of the franchise? ANSWER: Italy's small coffee cafes and baristas! This is ironic of course, and if you haven't heard of the 'slow-food' movement in Italy--the Italians have opposed Starbucks efforts in setting up shops in favor of supporting their local cafes with old fashioned human care and personal service.
I’ve had coffee in those small coffee places in greece, Italy, France, Austria, England Ireland Spain and they are unique. Some of my most memorable experiences. Ours in town was lovely and friendly. We will so miss it. A small Starbucks near our town is mostly cluttered with people working on their laptops. Hogging the available seating for friendly exchange.
We have some wonderful coffee shops in my city. Supported by the community but starbucks is not suffering. I am stunned by the number of people, lots of educrats who frequent stabucks.
I remember back in the obummer era, when the CEO of Starbucks was ONLY hiring Muslims and the heck with anyone else. This is what happens to wokeness. It blows up your face eventually. Now he’s concerned about the welfare of his employees when his stores are habitats for obscene criminal behavior every minute of everyday? Weren’t his employees harassing cops and even driving cops out of the stores, when all they wanted was a cup of coffee?
I had "the original recipe" of covid two years ago and wouldn't bat an eye if a sick person came up and coughed right in my face. Huzzah for natural immunity, God's "original recipe" for fighting infection. I've started seeing people mask up at the grocery store in Atlanta, and I truly pity their self-imposed fear and bondage to those useless rags.
What about accountability? When will people who have made these disastrous decisions (Covid jabs that cause myocarditis and death, vaccinating babies, killing our elderly in nursing homes) be held accountable for their actions?
“They have no leadership right now. Suddenly, there’s an enormous number of jobs opening up at the highest level positions.”
The problem here is that having sane people quit is exactly what the Enemy wants. They can replace them with more Enemy. Same in the police and the military. Good people quitting is how the bad people get control.
YES👆 It's infuriating that those weak ghouls whined amongst themselves, hung around until retirement or went along to get along, knowing their silence and inaction killed millions of people worldwide. Screw them. They're all accomplices.
I was on a conference call in Maryland where I heard the words to the effect I am paraphrasing because I do not remember the exact words...... that the reason the students could not go back to school in person in the Fall of 2020 was because Mitch McConnell was holding up the HEROS bill I believe it was called, in the U.S. Senate. I am appalled that those of us on the call who had worked so hard for so long for the benefit of so many students and our beloved public school systems, including myself, said nothing. I wish I could say I was shocked at the depths of total greed at all costs, and/or the extraordinary power that the federal government has over the leaders of so many institutions, so that even American students become pawns in a high stakes game of greed, but after seeing what happened with Common Core in the late 2000s and other egregious actions that were so hard to correct or mitigate in the public schools, and after working for so many years to make up for where the government was not doing well in the public school system, it was more numbing than shocking I suppose. 6000 some children in Howard County Public Schools out of some 57,000 total give or take, are said to never have even signed into online school from March 2020 to June 2020. Never believe the government or media when they say they want to help poor or disadvantaged people. They use the idea that they are helping poor and disadvantaged people to enrich their supporters. As a 19 year PTA volunteer/leader and having lobbied for several causes and volunteered for several campaigns over the years, seeing the Maryland PTA and Maryland State Education Association (MSEA) come out in the news, widely spread by the media in August 2020 against in person schooling, was heartbreaking. I can only pray that they were forced by powerful federal and state entities into that position. (MSEA states on its website.... "our parent affiliate is the 3 million-member National Education Association (NEA)". Current Republican Governor of Maryland Larry Hogan head of the National Governors Association in 2019–2020. Andrew Cuomo New York Democratic took the head for 2020-2021. U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, father 12 year Mayor of Baltimore City, Congressman, ran for Governor, Brother was Mayor , U.S. Congressman Steny Hoyer from Maryland, suburbs of DC, Prince Georges County/Charles County, #2 in the House right now, listed on learntherisk.org along with James Clyburn, South Carolina, as key supporters of the pharmaceutical industry, Linda Lamone 25 year head of Maryland State Board of Elections and part of U.S. Election Assistance Commission created at the federal legislation in 2003. Life could be so much better for all of us, for our health, for our children in public schools, for our elections, especially for the money we are paying for all of it, if we can untangle our government and break up the current decades long entrenched power at the very top. I am praying to God to help us.
Considering all the crap the schools are teaching and add grooming and trans indoctrination, the children are better off not going to school. Seriously. I never saw so many drugged up kids with anxiety and mental health issues. Schools play a big part in that. Along with their useless parents.
There should be no public unions anywhere as the paying customer aka taxpayer has no choice for another product or service when they go on strike. I say that as an 18 year teacher veteran. Many of us are disgusted with what's going on. The Dept of Education needs to go...quickly.
I agree re the logic: no public unions in consideration that schools are essential for the well being of any community. Real education must be defined anew. As I have shared a few times, my great grandfather taught Latin and Greek. He also passed the Maryland Bar and provided free legal advice to those in need. Real skills-- money knowledge, growing food, learning how to read and write (not texting) are the basics. The phoney Gates program called 'Common Core' was a disaster, and the $350 Mil dollar CC textbook deal was just another scam. Teach kids how banks work. And teach political science in grade school! pax
They should be illegal as every other government union should be illegal. No one who takes a salary from the tax payers should be allowed to unionize, period.
I’m convinced it’s all the vaccines they got as babies. Riddled with allergies, ADD, anxiety etc. If I could go back I wouldn’t have given my daughter all those shots
True dat. And as a result of the lockdowns teen suicides were up something like 400% according to one psychologist. This:
"Doctors in Northern California say they have seen more deaths from suicide than they’ve seen from the coronavirus during the pandemic."
“The numbers are unprecedented,” Dr. Mike deBoisblanc of John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek, California, told ABC 7 News about the increase of suicide deaths adding that he’s seen a “year’s worth of suicides” in the last four weeks alone." Source: https://www.aier.org/article/lockdown-suicide-data-reveal-predictable-tragedy/
Your are exactly right the difficulties of growing up in our public school is condemning unknown thousands to extreme emotional insecurity resulting in all kinds of behavioral disorders.
The radical left progressives they have done this and continue pushing to expose our children to even more dark thoughts.
Yes. And these behavioral problems are treated with drugs. There's the Pharma angle yet again! As a nation we have yet to define Mental Health in a practical way that transcends the compart-mentalized academic management programs. Holistic healthcare is what we lack at present.
Sad but true. I make it a nightly habit with mine to talk about what was taught that day and then start the deprogramming session by teaching the lesson of critical thought and independent research to arrive at ones own conclusion. So far it is working but mine is still a few years away from those festering cesspools of Marxism aka Colleges and Universities. Hopefully, the independent research and thought will get mine through that 4 year nightmare of mediocrity.
Depending on what they want to do, they may not need a 4 year degree. I don't have one and still managed to work in the electronics field for 20 years. A friend with a vocational certificate just got a computer programming job making 80k. When the time comes, do some research into alternatives to Bachelors degrees.
We have been asleep and inattentive too long. This last week I asked my 38 year-old son who was educated in Catholic schools, has a degree in Finance, an MBA and is a certified family law attorney if he ever read Animal Farm and 1984. He said no. It blew me away because I read and discussed those books in public school in the fourth and fifth grades in 1960 and 1961 and stupidly assumed not that much had changed in the 1990s. I immediately ordered those books and will be reading them aloud to my grandchildren AND their father.
I attended a fancy, premier college prep school, we didn't read Orwell either. FWIW, those were more focused on communism, we were already sold against that. We did focus heavily on the Holocaust though.
As a side note to this, biden's internet for low income families thing (don't remember what it was called) had income limitations so strict that the only people it would really help probably don't have a home computer to connect to the internet with. It's not surprising that children from low income families didn't log on to their online classes. Many of them probably couldn't.
with America being 33rd or worse in education globally, how hard would it be for the educators to focus on academics? I haven't heard anyone in Education propose a plan to improve the education of our children. Only their political, racial, and sexual agendas.
I am a public school teacher in an urban school. I tried for 20 years to get things to change in the two buildings I have been in. Administration doesn't really want change. It took many years of therapy for me to let it go; I was killing myself trying to get change that wouldn't happen.
I got certified to teach Biotechnology to an urban school in Lawrence, Ma. When I was hired by the director he said I saw that your a Christian. When I said yes he said to me “you are about to enter your first mission field.” I didn’t know what that meant until the first week of classes where I left and took three sick days because I was overwhelmed with grief, stress and anxiety. All stemming from what I saw within these young people. Most of them come from one family homes also taking care of their siblings and their grandparents. Several of them told me that they don’t have enough food but that their parents send them to school to get a breakfast & lunch for free. Once I got over that first week I lasted three more years 🙏
I saw many students & teachers come to know Jesus as savior, I helped many of my students into the biotechnology field. In the end the principal did not like my popularity within the teachers and the students and they got rid of me by making up lies on my review.
I’ve never seen so much dishonesty and corruption in my life. Department of Education does not care about educating they care about their pockets!!! Many of my students are still in contact with me today and it’s been amazing to watch them grow up and make a difference in their lives. I have also gotten letters from past students telling me that I helped them know between right and wrong, good and evil. I was also the strictest teacher they ever had!!
Believe me please, when I speak against public education I am not speaking against most / majority of the Teachers, The ones in charge of the curriculum are the ones I fault for what we are experiencing in our schools on a national level. I had read many years ago, that America had produced it's first generation that had a lesser education than their parents.
I taught 8th grade English for years and my first few years’ advanced students wowed me with their creativity and higher level thinking skills. 12 years later the advanced students have very little critical thinking or creativity at all. It is so apparent.
Sadly, although I know a lot of teachers who are good hearted and want to help, many are also unfortunately not very discerning, don’t have broad knowledge about the world, and lack the ability to think critically. So many vote Democrat and swallow every line they are told about critical race theory, climate change, masks, etc. (I see this in personal interactions on social media and in real life all the time). I say this as a former teacher ( taught in college and private schools) and someone who has many teachers in my family, some of whom agree with me about this issue. There are teachers who are excellent at motivating kids to learn, well versed in their subject matter, well read and perspicacious. But I also know too many who, although they are well meaning and not bad people, don’t think for themselves and just are useful tools for those who wish to manipulate them. Clearly Alison and the other teachers here don’t fall into those generalizations (and I am grateful for those who ARE able to think for themselves and DO truly want to teach kids to think and learn. We definitely need many more like them!). But I have been very disappointed in the way so many teachers hop on the bandwagon and can’t seem to think for themselves.
This is what they want. The Dept. of Education wants cookie cutter curriculum where teachers are told exactly what to say. They claim it is to help new teachers. But in reality, they want complete control and for the teachers to basically be meat robots.
My daughter taught mostly 6th grade for over a decade, and was much beloved by all her students. However, she got sick and tired of what was going on and 6 years ago left teaching. It was a huge loss for the kids, in my opinion.
The plan to control the populace through public education goes back many decades. Research Charlotte Thompson Iserbyt who wrote and constantly updated a book entitled “The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America.” She was in her 90’s when she passed away this year and left an impressive body of work. She was also the first person to list the members of Yale’s Skull & Bones fraternity.
Have you ever read the old mission statement of the National Educator's Association? (It's since been taken down). Not one thing about education of children in it, but Karl Marx would have been proud.
Remember when Starbucks decided people could just hang out even if they weren’t ordering? Looks to me like this harm is self-inflicted, beside the fact that their coffee is as overrated as a 💉💉💉.
“Randi, we will NEVER EVER EVER forget what you did to kids during the pandemic. You’re a fake, a fraud. You don’t care about kids. You proved it beyond all possible doubt. Go away.”💖
I remember that one of the planks in Ronald Reagan's platform was to abolish the US Dept of Education. Never happened. The public (state) school system cannot be reformed because it is the wrong model to begin with. It doesn't matter if you are talking about the state school system in the USSR or the state school system in the USA. If you give your child to the State to educate, don't be surprised when they come home a statist. The only solution to what is happening in American education is to take PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY for the education of your children. Civil government should NEVER be involved in education. That responsibility should lie solely at the local community level under the direct control of parents. Many parents already do this through home schooling or private schooling often through affordable church sponsored schools. It's what we have to do because I don't think it will ever be possible to get the government out of public schooling or for the parents to ever take back control in that venue. Just my thoughts as a dad who home schooled two children through high school even when both parents were working full time.
My grandfather, who was a public school science teacher, predicted when they created the Department of Education that it would help bring about the ruination of American schools. He retired shortly thereafter. I often think about his prediction and how prescient his observation was.
My father said the same. He was a university prof and active member of PTA. Eventually ended up at the School Board as the auditor and said it was much worse than he ever imagined. That was back in the early 60's.
Merci beaucoup for the video of your comments at the Mom's conference. Understanding the causal factors driving the deep state success motivates the rest of us to act. Besides, it helps to know what you look like! Get ready for a political career mon cher!
Here in Faucistan, the UK Daily Mail article lit up local social media. Lots of comments that started with phrases like “As someone who’s worked at NIH for umpteen years…” followed by flyspecking about NIH not being a monolith and Fauci being a wonderful selfless servant of the people etc.
Nothing says “The Science” like knee-jerk emotional reactions, wagon-circling, and Dear-Leader cults of personality.
To be fair: Drs. Makary and Hoeg are relying on sources who may have their own biases, and who may not be representative of the agencies as a whole. This would be a reasonable criticism. So of course the Covidians skipped it and went straight to HOW DARE YOU.
This is why I'm actually skeptical of the Makary & Hoeg article. Not because the agencies haven't been politicized. Clearly they have been. But I'm skeptical that many people who work in these agencies have a problem with it -- or even perceive it as politicization.
Maybe not many but I’d believe that some don’t agree but still work there and don’t make waves in order not to loose their jobs. That’s what’s happening everywhere else (I would guess 10% of workforce where jabs are/were mandated are against mandates) The difference is that these are the agencies that make recommendations for the whole country and mandates are based on their recommendations.
I took the dive. I’m a paid member of C&C. I just watched the video from Moms 4 Liberty, and I multiplied for Feds4MedFreedom (proud member). We have to keep you viable, Jeff. Doing great things, not just for Florida, but for the country.
God given natural immunity for the win. Maybe we rename the Dems “pharmacrats” or “pfizercrats”
pharmacrats™ for the win!
Kinda related to their friends educrats
I would counter with pseudo educrats or false educrats? But I really like and appreciate the term. I’m stealing it.
It is so sad but very true. New 3rd party?
pharmacrats definitely....more inclusive of big pharma...no discrimination for any of them...
And we live under a pharmocracy.
Great idea but maybe take out the c to make it “pharmarats” or “phizerrats”
How about NewWorldOrderRats?
Well done!
Anyone with their head NOT in the sand could have seen the Starbucks fiasco. WOKE mayors + WOKE city council = WOKE cities. They vote to defund the police and wonder why this stuff happens.

Thank you Jeff for continuing the fight and delivering the best content in one place to get accurate and up to date information on the internet.

Definitely tastes burnt
There's a reason why coffee aficionados call it "Charbucks".
Just found out our smallish community in rural Illinois is getting a Starbucks. Our nice local coffee shop is closing because some town big wigs son destroyed the coffee shop owners rental apartment they had and they have to close to get that repaired.

It does suck. A little digging around the net and you can make much better coffee at home for less money. I buy Iron Bean and Buddy Brew.
I get something from Door County in Wisconsin. “Deaths Door”😉
But, but, but didn’t Starbucks support “the mostly peaceful” summer of riots? So isn’t it it’s their corporate fault as well?
Yup
I remember back in the obummer era, when the CEO of Starbucks was ONLY hiring Muslims and the heck with anyone else. This is what happens to wokeness. It blows up your face eventually. Now he’s concerned about the welfare of his employees when his stores are habitats for obscene criminal behavior every minute of everyday? Weren’t his employees harassing cops and even driving cops out of the stores, when all they wanted was a cup of coffee?
He is a douche.
What goes around, comes around.
What about compassion for the knuckle dragging cretins who shoot up and transmit monkeypox in the Starbucks bathrooms? Where will they go now?
I had "the original recipe" of covid two years ago and wouldn't bat an eye if a sick person came up and coughed right in my face. Huzzah for natural immunity, God's "original recipe" for fighting infection. I've started seeing people mask up at the grocery store in Atlanta, and I truly pity their self-imposed fear and bondage to those useless rags.
No pity from me.
What about accountability? When will people who have made these disastrous decisions (Covid jabs that cause myocarditis and death, vaccinating babies, killing our elderly in nursing homes) be held accountable for their actions?
We may not get that accountability in this life. They can't escape accountability in the next life.
When they stand before God at judgment...

This is a fascinating read-Vaccination, Social Violence, and Criminality:... the medical assault on the American brain
I would’ve allowed my kiddos (now 14 and 11) to get them either, if I knee then what I know now...

We have 5 adult children, from 29 to 21. Our middle son has never been in a college classroom for even a minute.
At 25 yrs old, he made $250k last year in sales, and is poised to break that record this year. He works his ass off.
We have been asleep and inattentive too long.

I read those books in school too.
I’m about to start Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. In it, the govt promotes sexual license and drug use to control the masses. 🤔
Another book that was required reading for my generation.
You read 1984 in the 4th or 5th grade? I thought it was more appropriate for high school...
I attended a fancy, premier college prep school, we didn't read Orwell either. FWIW, those were more focused on communism, we were already sold against that. We did focus heavily on the Holocaust though.
We didn't read those, but we read Anthem by Ayn Rand in 10th grade.
As a side note to this, biden's internet for low income families thing (don't remember what it was called) had income limitations so strict that the only people it would really help probably don't have a home computer to connect to the internet with.

I think just about every public school (at least in WA state) “gives” each student a chrome book these days.
Yep, but without internet it's useless for online classes.
"...beloved public schools..." Is that a joke?

I'm retiring early after 24 years because I just can't take it anymore.
I totally understand, but it’s sad that your school is losing one of the good ones 😞
I got certified to teach Biotechnology to an urban school in Lawrence, Ma. When I was hired by the director he said I saw that your a Christian. When I said yes he said to me “you are about to enter your first mission field.” I didn’t know what that meant until the first week of classes where I left and took three sick days because I was overwhelmed with grief, stress and anxiety. All stemming from what I saw within these young people. Most of them come from one family homes also taking care of their siblings and their grandparents. Several of them told me that they don’t have enough food but that their parents send them to school to get a breakfast & lunch for free. Once I got over that first week I lasted three more years 🙏
I saw many students & teachers come to know Jesus as savior, I helped many of my students into the biotechnology field. In the end the principal did not like my popularity within the teachers and the students and they got rid of me by making up lies on my review.
I’ve never seen so much dishonesty and corruption in my life. Department of Education does not care about educating they care about their pockets!!! Many of my students are still in contact with me today and it’s been amazing to watch them grow up and make a difference in their lives. I have also gotten letters from past students telling me that I helped them know between right and wrong, good and evil. I was also the strictest teacher they ever had!!
You have a precious legacy!! You cared deeply for these young people! Thank you for teaching the truth in love!! Thank You, Jesus!
Believe me please, when I speak against public education I am not speaking against most / majority of the Teachers, The ones in charge of the curriculum are the ones I fault for what we are experiencing in our schools on a national level. I had read many years ago, that America had produced it's first generation that had a lesser education than their parents.
I taught 8th grade English for years and my first few years’ advanced students wowed me with their creativity and higher level thinking skills. 12 years later the advanced students have very little critical thinking or creativity at all. It is so apparent.
That’s really sad 😞
Sadly, although I know a lot of teachers who are good hearted and want to help, many are also unfortunately not very discerning, don’t have broad knowledge about the world, and lack the ability to think critically. So many vote Democrat and swallow every line they are told about critical race theory, climate change, masks, etc. (I see this in personal interactions on social media and in real life all the time). I say this as a former teacher ( taught in college and private schools) and someone who has many teachers in my family, some of whom agree with me about this issue. There are teachers who are excellent at motivating kids to learn, well versed in their subject matter, well read and perspicacious. But I also know too many who, although they are well meaning and not bad people, don’t think for themselves and just are useful tools for those who wish to manipulate them. Clearly Alison and the other teachers here don’t fall into those generalizations (and I am grateful for those who ARE able to think for themselves and DO truly want to teach kids to think and learn. We definitely need many more like them!). But I have been very disappointed in the way so many teachers hop on the bandwagon and can’t seem to think for themselves.
This is what they want. The Dept. of Education wants cookie cutter curriculum where teachers are told exactly what to say. They claim it is to help new teachers. But in reality, they want complete control and for the teachers to basically be meat robots.
My daughter taught mostly 6th grade for over a decade, and was much beloved by all her students. However, she got sick and tired of what was going on and 6 years ago left teaching. It was a huge loss for the kids, in my opinion.
The plan to control the populace through public education goes back many decades. Research Charlotte Thompson Iserbyt who wrote and constantly updated a book entitled “The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America.” She was in her 90’s when she passed away this year and left an impressive body of work. She was also the first person to list the members of Yale’s Skull & Bones fraternity.

Have you ever read the old mission statement of the National Educator's Association? (It's since been taken down). Not one thing about education of children in it, but Karl Marx would have been proud.

Remember when Starbucks decided people could just hang out even if they weren’t ordering? Looks to me like this harm is self-inflicted, beside the fact that their coffee is as overrated as a 💉💉💉.
🤣
“Randi, we will NEVER EVER EVER forget what you did to kids during the pandemic. You’re a fake, a fraud. You don’t care about kids. You proved it beyond all possible doubt. Go away.”💖
I remember that one of the planks in Ronald Reagan's platform was to abolish the US Dept of Education. Never happened. The public (state) school system cannot be reformed because it is the wrong model to begin with. It doesn't matter if you are talking about the state school system in the USSR or the state school system in the USA. If you give your child to the State to educate, don't be surprised when they come home a statist. The only solution to what is happening in American education is to take PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY for the education of your children. Civil government should NEVER be involved in education. That responsibility should lie solely at the local community level under the direct control of parents. Many parents already do this through home schooling or private schooling often through affordable church sponsored schools. It's what we have to do because I don't think it will ever be possible to get the government out of public schooling or for the parents to ever take back control in that venue. Just my thoughts as a dad who home schooled two children through high school even when both parents were working full time.
My grandfather, who was a public school science teacher, predicted when they created the Department of Education that it would help bring about the ruination of American schools. He retired shortly thereafter. I often think about his prediction and how prescient his observation was.
My father said the same. He was a university prof and active member of PTA. Eventually ended up at the School Board as the auditor and said it was much worse than he ever imagined. That was back in the early 60's.
Merci beaucoup for the video of your comments at the Mom's conference. Understanding the causal factors driving the deep state success motivates the rest of us to act. Besides, it helps to know what you look like! Get ready for a political career mon cher!
Here in Faucistan, the UK Daily Mail article lit up local social media. Lots of comments that started with phrases like “As someone who’s worked at NIH for umpteen years…” followed by flyspecking about NIH not being a monolith and Fauci being a wonderful selfless servant of the people etc.
Nothing says “The Science” like knee-jerk emotional reactions, wagon-circling, and Dear-Leader cults of personality.
To be fair: Drs. Makary and Hoeg are relying on sources who may have their own biases, and who may not be representative of the agencies as a whole. This would be a reasonable criticism. So of course the Covidians skipped it and went straight to HOW DARE YOU.
Not sure what’s scarier: true believers in the agencies or people who are just keeping quiet to save their jobs…
This is why I'm actually skeptical of the Makary & Hoeg article. Not because the agencies haven't been politicized. Clearly they have been. But I'm skeptical that many people who work in these agencies have a problem with it -- or even perceive it as politicization.
Maybe not many but I’d believe that some don’t agree but still work there and don’t make waves in order not to loose their jobs. That’s what’s happening everywhere else (I would guess 10% of workforce where jabs are/were mandated are against mandates) The difference is that these are the agencies that make recommendations for the whole country and mandates are based on their recommendations.
God is moving and can use anyone to accomplish His work. So grateful!
“But the Lord is with me like a dread [awe-inspiring, terror-striking, awesome, terrifying, ruthless, mighty] champion;
Therefore my persecutors will stumble and not prevail.
They will be utterly ashamed, because they have failed,
With an everlasting disgrace that will not be forgotten.
Yet, O Lord of hosts, You who test the righteous,
Who see the mind and the heart;
Let me see Your vengeance on them;
For to You I have set forth my cause.
Sing to the Lord, praise the Lord!
For He has delivered the soul of the needy one
From the hand of evildoers.”
— Jeremiah 20:11-13 NASB1995
I took the dive. I’m a paid member of C&C. I just watched the video from Moms 4 Liberty, and I multiplied for Feds4MedFreedom (proud member). We have to keep you viable, Jeff. Doing great things, not just for Florida, but for the country.
From now on I’m using the term pharmacrats!
Love you, love this magnificent group.
