Good news so far on the federal jab mandate but it's not killed yet. I suggest a multiplier for Feds 4 Medical Freedom who are engaged in this fight: https://feds4medfreedom.org
This mandate affects a significant number of people and could set a terrible precedent that could easily ripple out to private industry doing business with the federal govt.
TOTALLY AGREE - I tried to post the same. I am a retired fed and rewired in the national security arena - we need to help our feds - they play a vital role in making this country work - and speaking from firsthand experience - the Dems are almost always worse to work for than the conservatives - these folks are there day in and day out executing for the taxpayer - we need to show them some appreciation! I donated $100 yesterday and will donate more as a C&C trooper!
That's a criminal act, and if this court had actual intelligence and judicial integrity, it would have ended all mandates for experimental gene based treatments of Covid.
End of story.
It could not affirm Bodily Autonomy because to serve it's masters it needed to overturn Roe.
More political shenanigans, IMO, and Americans pay the price, as always.
Indeed. The court should have made away with it, since it is neither constitutional nor allowed by international law. I am surprised it took so long. Where is the court that can pronounce this? Where are the Nurnberg protocols? Why has so little rumor been given to this possibility? Only Dr Martin, Dr Fuelmilch and a handful of others have even mentioned this
I have several family members who are nurses and they got medical or religious exemptions. I guess it depends on the employer. Their employers didn't want to deal with the impact of half their staff walking. And now the unvaxx are the healthiest employees working there.
My daughter has a religious exemption, and she got it quite easily. Her employer (a nursing-rehab facility) had their own form to use, never an issue with it. This is in California, but not in a big city.
What state is that? I applied and it was a very sincere request especially when you factor in that I have applied for and received exemptions every year for flu shot. I was denied and fired.
I'm sorry to hear you got fired, Lisa. Last night, husband and I talked to a couple we'd just met. She is a nurse here on the Florida Panhandle. Both she and her husband are not "needled" and she said there was "no way" either one would get it. She is still working, getting both a medical and religious exemption. (BTW, religious exemptions are not granted by the employer. They're invoked by the person because this right exists. All one does when notifying the employer is that she/he is invoking their pre-existing right to this exemption. The onus is then on the employer to prove "undue hardship", which is pretty hard to do if people are being honest. That, of course, is one of the things this crime has revealed -- the massive dishonesty of so many of our fellow "Americans".)
Yes, F4MF definitely deserves a funding boost after getting this mandate stayed for ALL federal employees since January 2022 - the DOJ's argument that POTUS is "CEO of the Federal Workforce" is extremely dangerous and the longterm ramifications if this argument succeeds will demolish all federal workers' consitutional rights. We need to fight hard and keep fighting - please donate if you can! https://feds4medfreedom.org/donate - it's tax-deductible!
As a current federal employee, I would absolutely support! I would also support a multiplier for the Truth for Health Foundation, which supported the case of LT Bill Moseley in the US Navy. I'm hoping the victory in his case will provide some bearing on getting rid of the mandates altogether! This mandate not only sets a terrible precedent, but so does the blanket denial of religious exemption requests, along with the continuous testing requirements!!
Re:Macron-Biden. I'm flummoxed. When another world leader looks in his eyes/soul and sees no one is home, how does he NOT shout out, "the emperor (former VP) has NO clothes (BRAIN)." GOD PLEASE HELP US, PLEASE SAVE AMERICA. Amen and AMEN! 🙏 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
It's not like he has ever been running anything. The country is being run by the likes of Jake Sullivan, Susan Rice, probably Obama has a hand in things.
Thank you for acknowledging the importance of Freedom. As one who identifies as a Christian, it is evident that the ONLY reason we have Freedom is because of the Christian principles upon which this nation is founded. The writings of the founding fathers show where the concepts of freedom were born. God gives many good gifts besides freedom. It’s very sad to me that so many don’t know what this means. All the hate, darkness and evil we see in our world today are a result of that. Christians are not perfect, but God is.
The moniker that I chose says it for me: Freebird
“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”
The cool thing is they can officially cancel religion, but what they cannot do is cancel Jesus Christ. He reigns now and forever, far and above all the schemes of man and machinations of the enemy of our souls. I am so grateful for the peace this knowledge brings.
The war on people has included discrimination and censorship not only of Judeo Christian religions but also any mention of action, value, opinion, etc that has its base in such a religion. Since the late 60s/early 70s, just the smallest mention of God in a setting of government or organization with government funding, would be hounded and would cause the offended to beseech judicial remedy while seeking an ok for alt religions and doctrines to speak freely in schools, etc.
In 1992 my daughter was in the fifth grade. No mention of Christianity was allowed. I said ok, I don't want them taking about it with them anyway. But wait! She brings home a book with stories about how an adolescent girl gains wiccan power to "overcome" the rules of the evil parents. I raised hell and they said that it was just one of the books available in the classroom library, not part of curriculum and removed it. I was younger and had lots of irons in the fire and didn't really follow up.
If there is "nothing" to Christianity, why the intense censorship? What scares them so much? Our inner peace and inability to be afraid because we know where we are going? That we are spiritual beings having an earthly experience? (Ie. in the world but not of the world???
“In” But Not “Of” The World
The saint, or disciple, or Christian lives “in the world,” but is not to be “of the world.” (John 17:15,16). The idea is to live our lives in the world by a higher standard, that is, a heavenly one. There are several things that will assist us in doing this. I wrote down the following observations that I had once read, but forgot to note where. I do think they hit the mark.
First, we should keep the church pure within (1 Corinthians 5:9-13). This does not mean breaking off all contact with the world, but it does mean not allowing sin to go unanswered among the members of the body.
Secondly, we must be willing to put behind us forever things that are contrary to the Lord's will (1 Corinthians 6:9-11). We are sanctified as we separate ourselves from further practicing unrighteousness.
Third, we must never compromise when it involves agreeing with or sharing in things contrary to the Lord's will (2 Corinthians 6:14-18; 7:1).
Fourth, it may help to understand that our lives are not about conforming to the world, but about transforming into the persons God's Book tells us to be (Romans 12:1,2). This recognition will go a long way in helping us to see that “everybody's doing it” is of no consequence at all as to whether a thing is right or wrong.
Fifth, we must understand that we are not abandoning those in the world. Far from it, we want to encourage them to also pursue this sanctification without which no one can see God (Matthew 5:13-16). https://www.bible.ca/ef/
Sixth, and finally, we want to recognize that this world is not our home. We must not seek to make it so (Philippians 1:21-26; 2 Corinthians 5:6-9).
I velieve the account is found in Luke's writing,s his book called "the acts of the apostles:. Seems the Jewish mucketymucks,m all perverted in their minds, were trying to figure out a way to end this "obsession"" with the "man" Jesus, whom they had executed. The main direction was to violently wipe out any trace of support for this Jesus they hated. but one guy stood up (some think he was the man Nocodemus who came to Jesus one night and asked Him some pointed questioins). Well, guys, WHAT IF this man is who He says He is.. and this move is relly OF God? TheyWE would be pitting ourselves agasint the God of the universe, and would certainly fail. Let us leave thigns as they are, and if this is not ofGod, it will fade away. If it IS of God, well, there is nothing we can do to stop it anyway, is there?
Little did they know then, but we know now because of historys record, that within forty years every vestage of Isreal as a nation, as a religion, as a people, as a place, was utterly destroyed and dismantled. No Temple, no sanhedrin no priesthood, even the tribe of Levi was wiped out, no sacrifices, no festivals, no country.
tht man was correct..God prevailed, and continues to prevail.
Rmember, Jesus "bookended" His entire discussion (referred to as the Olivet Discourse, in all the synoptic gospels) of what was to come upon Israel with the time-text... "before THIS PRESENT GENERATION passes away, ALL these things WILL come to pass".
As C.S. Lewis said of Jesus, he was either Lord, liar, or a lunatic. Based on what he said of Himself, it follows that he would be one of those. The wise person believes He is Lord of all.
Hey Kathy, good on you. Well said and explained. I have always disliked it when people say, "Take care of yourself first". I think that is a tragedy in itself. Have a good day.
Agreed. I live in the suburbs west of Philadelphia. Props and rinos are all around me. I always felt like I didn't fit in. I didn't. I will stand up for my beliefs, fight the good fight for the kids and I am not on any medication. I guess I was being prepared for the ZA too as I didn't fall for the lies either.
Oh no--since the beginning of the world. Once Satan saw that God loved and would honor humanity more than the angels, he (Satan) could not abide that! Hence the fall and the everlasting battle between God and Satan, good and evil. This battle is spiritual and unless you recognize that, you will never understand the enemy.
Good C&C today. First - wannabetwink should bomb themselves wherever they like. I always think if you are going to kill someone, like your baby, turn the gun on yourself and save the world the trouble of dealing with you. Second - republican suburbanites, also known as rinos, have to stop voting with their feelings. They are as much of part of the problem with this country as the progs. Think and have some moral fiber. You, your family and community would be better off. Third - Ukraine and all its associated issues are done. This is what happens when you have leaders who "hope" it will happen (like Deb Birk and the cdc) as opposed to leaders like Putin who make it happen with logic and planning. I wish the best for the Ukrainian people. But your leaders like ours suck.
I think it is a subtle push by the Uniparty to blame Trump for everything. Just as the GOP turned against Trump, outright on J6, all planned, now they are trying to score it as former Republicans are returning to the fold after Trump drove them away. Hogwash. Trump gained 74 million votes, a more popular vote total than any Republican since the 60’s. And we are also supposed to believe that the basement campaigner, WH resident gained 80+ million votes. I do not forget the Swamp and msm played their roles in this delusion. Truth be told, many long time Dems are seeing their country be crushed and have quietly been moving over for years.
I read it as Xiden is driving the democrat party to ruin by allowing the left to take over. Dem pollsters have been continually warning about this, even while Trump was still in office.
I live in Michigan, home for decades to the auto unions. Trump appealed to the unions, many of which had been faithful Union Dems. They saw their pensions and buyouts dwindle under Obama. They were seeking something different. Many of the younger, newer Unionists never bought into the Dem patronage. They saw Trump as a blue collar billionaire who got the union workers.
This may be partially true. However, having grown up and lived in one of those Michigan cities were cars used to be built (but which is now home to lots of unused empty space), my experience with unionists is that the vast majority are dyed-in-the-wool democrats who will never vote republican even if that means voting against their own financial interests. They are the children of people who still view Jimmy Hoffa and the Teamsters as the 'good guys' in the ongoing struggle between unions and management.
Many may have opted for Trump in 2016. However, a significant number went back to the DNC and Biden in 2020 over 'mean tweets' and the (admittedly bizarre) belief that Biden was a moderate who would govern from the middle. Matt Taibbi's article that I cited in my comment addresses people who are now politically homeless, as detritus of the failure of the American uniparty system.
Thank you. In my early lawyer days, I used to represent a lot of union members. If one thing united them it was their unwavering DNC allegiance and their hatred of republicans. However, Michiganders were once blessed with republicans like Bill Milliken who understood how to build consensus to advance the state's better interests. That "Michigan " died with the auto industry.
It may have been justified forty years ago when the DNC professed to be the party of the working class and the republicans were the party of 'the establishment'. The DNC was the party of Bobby Kennedy. The GOP was the party of Goldwater and Nixon. As Matt Taibbi points out, that's no longer true in either case.
Matt Taibbi published a thought-provoking article on his Substack yesterday about the current American political moment. Matt explores the underlying cultural dynamic and our 'uniparty' reality. Americans run back and forth between the DNC and GOP seeking refuge like abused children with two dysfunctional parents.
Matt's final paragraph is a compelling summation, in my humble opinion:
"I remember choices like Dukakis versus Bush, which was like two versions of the same mathematically absolute impossibility of change. Absent a big shift, the next choice will be two arguments for civil war. Does anyone else miss boredom?"
Matt may have missed the point that the apparent "boredom" of Bush/Dukakis and the collapse of the Soviet Union introduced thirty years of unipolar 'wars of choice', blowback (as Chalmers Johnson described it), the surveillance state, and the globalist dystopia within which we are all living.
Don't completely blame republican suburbanites. My Chicagoland collar-county was solidly Republican when we bought here 35 years ago. But over the last 10 years or so, many of the downtown liberals have fled to the suburbs to get away from the disfunction of Lightfoot and the like. Now my county board, school district, etc., have all turned blue.
A lot of them, especially the women, fell for all the msm hysteria and were compliant with all the masks, lockdowns and mandates. They didn't even question it until their lives were affected as well as their children. At our local meeting I asked them how different it would have been if they had joined in against all this crap instead of meekly following. They all knew and agreed.
Well that is good news. I have always said that it’s the “fence sitters” that will help turn the tide. How does one manage to continually deny the consequences of reality when all cause mortality, sudden unexpected deaths and plunging birth rates are clearly documented…..
I understand. All the northerners fleeing blue states have been taking over the urban areas of NC and SC for 2-3 decades. They come here and complain about the policies that made them leave and then vote for the same type of people and policies. It is infuriating!
I see it in my suburban area of Florida, unfortunately. Many of the people moving here are from Eastern states or CA, and they diehard liberals. Our neighborhood is full of folks who are part of the Covid death cult and love wearing their masks. It really scares me because I fear these folks will turn our state blue, given the chance.
It seems to have been a trend for quite some time. New Mexico was infiltrated with left leaning people from CA, WA, OR and have taken over the political system. They despise the locals of Spanish decent, some tracing their history back hundreds of years to the Conquistadors and have been successful in annihilating their traditions because of "Wokeness". They came for the charm and open spaces, the architecture and culture, yet they eventually chip away at it and replace it with their stale modernistic style like every other big city in the world. They want open borders where hordes of Spanish speaking people are ushered in yet the locals who are also of Spanish decent are looked upon with disdain. It's a broken system and past time for a major cleaning. I believe the tide is turning and we must be strong, stay free of fear and know that good will prevail.
Yes, I've been fearful for FL knowing all the NY'ers moving there but they say the republican voter rolls are higher than ever. I pray FL doesn't go blue.
It could be just my area, but but it is quite concerning to me. I have heard others areas are a lot more conservative, and I think you are correct about the overall republican voters- so I guess we need to keep our fingers crossed!
I've been thinking about this a lot lately as my family is all California refugees. My parents and my brothers came to Arizona, but so many of the leftists from California are also moving to AZ, it's a battleground state, not a safe haven. And that definitely seems like what's going on in Florida. My husband is in the process of immigrating from New Zealand, a country that's just a smaller version of California so he knows better too. We've been thinking of settling down in a more under-the-radar place like Kentucky. Solidly red, better still with two of the most principled, libertarian Republicans in Congress hailing from there, but it doesn't seem to be attracting the mass influx of leftist voters who don't realize they were voting for the destruction they're trying to escape. 🙄
That's my fear living in AZ. CA is a breeding ground for the left birthing and raising them and then distributing them all over the country, but very much to AZ.
Funny, I JUST commented on this above and then kept reading down and saw your comment. :) My family (parents and both brothers) escaped from CA to AZ but my husband and I are looking to settle down somewhere safer, like maybe Kentucky.
Get involved in the local politics; attend the meetings, learn the issues, speak out. You don’t have to make elaborate speeches, keep it simple as you like. “I support this…I think that is a horrible idea…”. The fake Republicans need to see faces that are connected to their elections.
Who says these are "fake republicans?" Lots of Republicans arrived at this party after youthful liberalism, before reality hit them on the face. It seems that's happened.
I also live in a Chicago burb, years ago you could see how everyone valued the same way of life. Not any more, the lefties have absolutely dominated us. Just so sad....
I'm sick of all the wishing and hoping. It's just inaction. Like Obama's hope and change BS that he never defined or had a plan for. Just empty words. Just more crap to hook the mindless masses.
And if I want some wishing and hoping...I'd rather just hear it from Dusty.
Watch "Dusty Springfield - Wishin' And Hopin'" on YouTube
Another multiplier opportunity Jeff! The federal employees who are fighting sloppy Joe on the mandate are out of $$$. They have an official non profit established - Feds4MedFreedom.org - THEY NEED OUR HELP. THEY HAVE A DONATE LINK ON THE SITE…The hearing will be mid September and there will be oral arguments so their counsel will need money!
Oh man, we're back to the Circuit Games. 3rd says this, 5th says this, 7th says....? Just keep Sotomayor away from the proceedings. "Children are dying by the millions!"
I find it interesting that all of a sudden these decisions for Conservatives are coming out. And they are all 6-3. What happened to “liberal in disguise of Conservative Justice Roberts”, who is suddenly going with the Conservative flow at every turn? My suspicious nature now tells me something is up. Not that long ago, many rulings on prolonging a baby’s life after botched abortions were ruled on just the opposite way, 3 to 6 majority for a Liberal interpretation. Made me wonder about Kavanaugh and Coney-Barrett.
I'm most assuredly wrong here, but I'm speculating that the left isn't too upset about the abortion ruling. It really has stirred up their base. What else do they have to run on?.......Gun control too, I suppose. Isn't that interesting?
Watching the street style interviews like those from Matt Walsh with the protesters is nothing but hilarious with their flustered befuddlement and not knowing how to respond to abortion versus vaccine mandates.
As a pharmacist, I would like to note that the morning after pill has been safely dispensed by pharmacists for at least 12 years, and has been available for purchase without a pharmacist consult for like five years now. It does not require medical supervision for use. You MAY be confusing it with the actual abortion pill, misoprostol, which is very difficult to get and does require a doctor's supervision. The morning after pill PREVENTS pregnancy by tricking the body into thinking it's already pregnant, the abortion pill does just that. . . Terminates an established pregnanvy.
Well, the thing there is that if there wasn't a pregnancy, the morning after pill wouldn't do anything at all, it would just be a useless sugar pill. The distinction that a lot of people don't understand is that it will prevent a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterine lining. As far as I'm concerned, that's an abortion. Not only does life begin at conception, but conception begins at fertilization.
Heard somewhere that the reversal of Roe/Wade was necessary to cover up the fact that most young people are now infertile (shots and multiple other reasons) so there would be a natural decline anyway. Hey, whatever it takes..............
I too feel they're playing this for all it's worth in order to turn young conservatives toward thinking this (the need to abort) is an important issue. Those young conservatives will then be swayed toward the left...
I have to agree with you that something smells fishy with all of this progress conservatives are making lately. In my opinion, it would seem that the Roe v. Wade reversal and all of the other progress we have made in such a short time ( and right before the midterms) is a political stunt that will enrage the leftists and possibly some fence sitters to vote democrat in the mid-terms. Nothing gets them riled up more than to see conservatives get their way!
It does seem out of sorts after all the refusals to hear election fraud cases along with some of their decisions. Their true colors showed right through. Barrett and Kavanaugh the biggest of the disappointments. And then this. Out of nowhere it seems like these judges finally decided to step it up. After years of finding out we couldn’t trust any govt official, judges, school boards and teachers, the medical establishment and even military high ups…. I still say we need to sleep with one eye open with scotus. If something seems off, it probably is even if you can’t put your finger on it.
Many of us referenced, “Wag the Dog” last fall. Once the criminal withdrawal of Afghanistan was complete, the Ukraine was going to be the new industrial military complex war. And it worked. My husband who knows better and is a Vietnam vet, couldn’t give up his F0x news, and was sucked right into saving the Ukraine.
My thoughts as well Laurie. While in principle, I agree with the new rulings, it almost causes my head to spin! Isn’t this a fast reversal of some long-held positions of the SC? And Roberts? What’s up with him?
Speaking of...I'm in Chicago today. My daughter is moving to Nashville on Thursday and can't wait to get out of this formerly beautiful city which is now like Gothem City.
Here is the article explaining the 5th Circuit case mentioned today made possible by Feds 4 Medical Freedom. Below is a great quote from Marcus Thornton the founder of F4MF.
“A policy that threatens to derail or end the careers of dedicated public servants who do not consent to take a COVID vaccine is both unconstitutional and immoral,” said Marcus Thornton, president of Feds for Medical Freedom. “The decision to hear that argument in front of the full 5th Circuit is a major victory for Feds for Medical Freedom and the rule of law.”
Good news so far on the federal jab mandate but it's not killed yet. I suggest a multiplier for Feds 4 Medical Freedom who are engaged in this fight: https://feds4medfreedom.org
This mandate affects a significant number of people and could set a terrible precedent that could easily ripple out to private industry doing business with the federal govt.
I'd support that. This mandate affects so many people.

I would absolutely support that as a former federal employee.
I would support that as a current federal employee. I plan to give either way.
Same here.
Active duty military are still getting booted for not taking the jab. 😔
That's a criminal act, and if this court had actual intelligence and judicial integrity, it would have ended all mandates for experimental gene based treatments of Covid.

If you intended to weaken the US military, wouldn't you require jabs?
Yes! Let's multiply feds4medfreedom!
They are awesome, and yes, let's Multiple Feds for Medical Freedom!
I’m a nurse and there seems to be no help on the horizon for me avoiding the mandates.
I agree. We need to stop the mandate for health care workers, and get the masks off!! This is only making a bigger shortage of health care workers.
I have several family members who are nurses and they got medical or religious exemptions. I guess it depends on the employer. Their employers didn't want to deal with the impact of half their staff walking. And now the unvaxx are the healthiest employees working there.

Lancaster County PA and Camden County NJ.
File a strong religious exemption. Look at Jeff Childers work on this along with Catherine Austin Fitts and others.
Good luck!!
I'd have to call this one kind of a necessity.

Brandon looked empty. Totally not comprehensive. Dear Lord. Please help us
It is quite visible that this person is not able to lead this country. Why is no one stepping in?
I feel it is because “ they” want this country in shambles.
Gotta burn it all down before you can build back better…
It's not like he has ever been running anything. The country is being run by the likes of Jake Sullivan, Susan Rice, probably Obama has a hand in things.
Amen to that
The entire world is laughing at us. Including our enemies.
Congress should be stepping up to help us. IMPEACHMENT!
This is just great stuff today. I don't identify as Christian but I would be the first in line to fight for their freedoms. Freedom trumps all.
Thank you for acknowledging the importance of Freedom. As one who identifies as a Christian, it is evident that the ONLY reason we have Freedom is because of the Christian principles upon which this nation is founded.

Yes indeed.
I believe atheism is the official doctrine of the communist party. Removing religion seems to be one more avenue of complete control.

I am in a similar boat. I have also noticed that there seems to be a war on Christianity in general.
There is a war on people not just Christians
The war on people has included discrimination and censorship not only of Judeo Christian religions but also any mention of action, value, opinion, etc that has its base in such a religion. Since the late 60s/early 70s, just the smallest mention of God in a setting of government or organization with government funding, would be hounded and would cause the offended to beseech judicial remedy while seeking an ok for alt religions and doctrines to speak freely in schools, etc.
Indeed. Commenting on today's story concerning Mr. Kennedy.
In 1992 my daughter was in the fifth grade. No mention of Christianity was allowed. I said ok, I don't want them taking about it with them anyway. But wait!

Fifth, we must understand that we are not abandoning those in the world. Far from it, we want to encourage them to also pursue this sanctification without which no one can see God (Matthew 5:13-16). https://www.bible.ca/ef/
Sixth, and finally, we want to recognize that this world is not our home. We must not seek to make it so (Philippians 1:21-26; 2 Corinthians 5:6-9).
I velieve the account is found in Luke's writing,s his book called "the acts of the apostles:. Seems the Jewish mucketymucks,m all perverted in their minds, were trying to figure out a way to end this "obsession"" with the "man" Jesus, whom they had executed. The main direction was to violently wipe out any trace of support for this Jesus they hated. but one guy stood up (some think he was the man Nocodemus who came to Jesus one night and asked Him some pointed questioins). Well, guys, WHAT IF this man is who He says He is.. and this move is relly OF God? TheyWE would be pitting ourselves agasint the God of the universe, and would certainly fail. Let us leave thigns as they are, and if this is not ofGod, it will fade away. If it IS of God, well, there is nothing we can do to stop it anyway, is there?
Little did they know then, but we know now because of historys record, that within forty years every vestage of Isreal as a nation, as a religion, as a people, as a place, was utterly destroyed and dismantled. No Temple, no sanhedrin no priesthood, even the tribe of Levi was wiped out, no sacrifices, no festivals, no country.
tht man was correct..God prevailed, and continues to prevail.
Rmember, Jesus "bookended" His entire discussion (referred to as the Olivet Discourse, in all the synoptic gospels) of what was to come upon Israel with the time-text... "before THIS PRESENT GENERATION passes away, ALL these things WILL come to pass".
Either He is a liar, or they HAVE come to pass.
As C.S. Lewis said of Jesus, he was either Lord, liar, or a lunatic. Based on what he said of Himself, it follows that he would be one of those. The wise person believes He is Lord of all.
And I don’t believe he is a liar. Just saying! 😉🤔✝️
only a fool would........
Hey Kathy, good on you. Well said and explained. I have always disliked it when people say, "Take care of yourself first". I think that is a tragedy in itself. Have a good day.
Agreed. I live in the suburbs west of Philadelphia. Props and rinos are all around me. I always felt like I didn't fit in. I didn't. I will stand up for my beliefs, fight the good fight for the kids and I am not on any medication. I guess I was being prepared for the ZA too as I didn't fall for the lies either.
It's been going on for about 2,000 years.
Oh no--since the beginning of the world. Once Satan saw that God loved and would honor humanity more than the angels, he (Satan) could not abide that! Hence the fall and the everlasting battle between God and Satan, good and evil. This battle is spiritual and unless you recognize that, you will never understand the enemy.
Thank you, Eric. It means a lot to hear you say that. ❤️👊🇺🇸
Absolutely
Good C&C today. First - wannabetwink should bomb themselves wherever they like. I always think if you are going to kill someone, like your baby, turn the gun on yourself and save the world the trouble of dealing with you. Second - republican suburbanites, also known as rinos, have to stop voting with their feelings. They are as much of part of the problem with this country as the progs. Think and have some moral fiber. You, your family and community would be better off. Third - Ukraine and all its associated issues are done. This is what happens when you have leaders who "hope" it will happen (like Deb Birk and the cdc) as opposed to leaders like Putin who make it happen with logic and planning. I wish the best for the Ukrainian people. But your leaders like ours suck.
I think it is a subtle push by the Uniparty to blame Trump for everything. Just as the GOP turned against Trump, outright on J6, all planned, now they are trying to score it as former Republicans are returning to the fold after Trump drove them away. Hogwash. Trump gained 74 million votes, a more popular vote total than any Republican since the 60’s. And we are also supposed to believe that the basement campaigner, WH resident gained 80+ million votes. I do not forget the Swamp and msm played their roles in this delusion. Truth be told, many long time Dems are seeing their country be crushed and have quietly been moving over for years.
I read it as Xiden is driving the democrat party to ruin by allowing the left to take over. Dem pollsters have been continually warning about this, even while Trump was still in office.
I live in Michigan, home for decades to the auto unions. Trump appealed to the unions, many of which had been faithful Union Dems. They saw their pensions and buyouts dwindle under Obama. They were seeking something different. Many of the younger, newer Unionists never bought into the Dem patronage. They saw Trump as a blue collar billionaire who got the union workers.
This may be partially true. However, having grown up and lived in one of those Michigan cities were cars used to be built (but which is now home to lots of unused empty space), my experience with unionists is that the vast majority are dyed-in-the-wool democrats who will never vote republican even if that means voting against their own financial interests. They are the children of people who still view Jimmy Hoffa and the Teamsters as the 'good guys' in the ongoing struggle between unions and management.
Many may have opted for Trump in 2016. However, a significant number went back to the DNC and Biden in 2020 over 'mean tweets' and the (admittedly bizarre) belief that Biden was a moderate who would govern from the middle. Matt Taibbi's article that I cited in my comment addresses people who are now politically homeless, as detritus of the failure of the American uniparty system.
We’ll said. Unions are a stronghold of the Democrat party…a major brainwashing tool.
Thank you. In my early lawyer days, I used to represent a lot of union members. If one thing united them it was their unwavering DNC allegiance and their hatred of republicans. However, Michiganders were once blessed with republicans like Bill Milliken who understood how to build consensus to advance the state's better interests. That "Michigan " died with the auto industry.
It may have been justified forty years ago when the DNC professed to be the party of the working class and the republicans were the party of 'the establishment'. The DNC was the party of Bobby Kennedy. The GOP was the party of Goldwater and Nixon. As Matt Taibbi points out, that's no longer true in either case.
you aren't a real estate mogul in NYC without having an understanding of and good relationship with unions (and perhaps the mafia)
Matt Taibbi published a thought-provoking article on his Substack yesterday about the current American political moment. Matt explores the underlying cultural dynamic and our 'uniparty' reality. Americans run back and forth between the DNC and GOP seeking refuge like abused children with two dysfunctional parents.
Matt's final paragraph is a compelling summation, in my humble opinion:
"I remember choices like Dukakis versus Bush, which was like two versions of the same mathematically absolute impossibility of change. Absent a big shift, the next choice will be two arguments for civil war. Does anyone else miss boredom?"
Matt may have missed the point that the apparent "boredom" of Bush/Dukakis and the collapse of the Soviet Union introduced thirty years of unipolar 'wars of choice', blowback (as Chalmers Johnson described it), the surveillance state, and the globalist dystopia within which we are all living.
That said, the article is worth reading if only for Donald Trump, Jr.'s meme of Mitt Romney in "Mom Jeans": https://taibbi.substack.com/p/taking-the-neither-pill
Don't completely blame republican suburbanites. My Chicagoland collar-county was solidly Republican when we bought here 35 years ago. But over the last 10 years or so, many of the downtown liberals have fled to the suburbs to get away from the disfunction of Lightfoot and the like. Now my county board, school district, etc., have all turned blue.
A lot of them, especially the women, fell for all the msm hysteria and were compliant with all the masks, lockdowns and mandates. They didn't even question it until their lives were affected as well as their children. At our local meeting I asked them how different it would have been if they had joined in against all this crap instead of meekly following. They all knew and agreed.
Well that is good news. I have always said that it’s the “fence sitters” that will help turn the tide. How does one manage to continually deny the consequences of reality when all cause mortality, sudden unexpected deaths and plunging birth rates are clearly documented…..
The disconnect is incredible. Most haven't connected the dots
I understand. All the northerners fleeing blue states have been taking over the urban areas of NC and SC for 2-3 decades. They come here and complain about the policies that made them leave and then vote for the same type of people and policies. It is infuriating!
I see it in my suburban area of Florida, unfortunately. Many of the people moving here are from Eastern states or CA, and they diehard liberals. Our neighborhood is full of folks who are part of the Covid death cult and love wearing their masks. It really scares me because I fear these folks will turn our state blue, given the chance.
It seems to have been a trend for quite some time. New Mexico was infiltrated with left leaning people from CA, WA, OR and have taken over the political system. They despise the locals of Spanish decent, some tracing their history back hundreds of years to the Conquistadors and have been successful in annihilating their traditions because of "Wokeness". They came for the charm and open spaces, the architecture and culture, yet they eventually chip away at it and replace it with their stale modernistic style like every other big city in the world. They want open borders where hordes of Spanish speaking people are ushered in yet the locals who are also of Spanish decent are looked upon with disdain. It's a broken system and past time for a major cleaning. I believe the tide is turning and we must be strong, stay free of fear and know that good will prevail.
Yes, I've been fearful for FL knowing all the NY'ers moving there but they say the republican voter rolls are higher than ever. I pray FL doesn't go blue.
It could be just my area, but but it is quite concerning to me. I have heard others areas are a lot more conservative, and I think you are correct about the overall republican voters- so I guess we need to keep our fingers crossed!
I've been thinking about this a lot lately as my family is all California refugees. My parents and my brothers came to Arizona, but so many of the leftists from California are also moving to AZ, it's a battleground state, not a safe haven. And that definitely seems like what's going on in Florida. My husband is in the process of immigrating from New Zealand, a country that's just a smaller version of California so he knows better too. We've been thinking of settling down in a more under-the-radar place like Kentucky. Solidly red, better still with two of the most principled, libertarian Republicans in Congress hailing from there, but it doesn't seem to be attracting the mass influx of leftist voters who don't realize they were voting for the destruction they're trying to escape. 🙄
This has been happening all over Florida. I'm still (pleasantly) surprised that Collier County has remained mostly red.
Geez. They just keep breeding and breeding and spreading.
That's my fear living in AZ. CA is a breeding ground for the left birthing and raising them and then distributing them all over the country, but very much to AZ.
Funny, I JUST commented on this above and then kept reading down and saw your comment. :) My family (parents and both brothers) escaped from CA to AZ but my husband and I are looking to settle down somewhere safer, like maybe Kentucky.
Get involved in the local politics; attend the meetings, learn the issues, speak out. You don’t have to make elaborate speeches, keep it simple as you like. “I support this…I think that is a horrible idea…”. The fake Republicans need to see faces that are connected to their elections.
Who says these are "fake republicans?" Lots of Republicans arrived at this party after youthful liberalism, before reality hit them on the face. It seems that's happened.
Solid advice.
I also live in a Chicago burb, years ago you could see how everyone valued the same way of life. Not any more, the lefties have absolutely dominated us. Just so sad....
Sad!!
I hope WannaBeTwink never gets pregnant at all as that gene pool needs to cease and desist.
If her vaccination card is full, her chances are slim to none.
I'm sick of all the wishing and hoping. It's just inaction. Like Obama's hope and change BS that he never defined or had a plan for. Just empty words. Just more crap to hook the mindless masses.
And if I want some wishing and hoping...I'd rather just hear it from Dusty.
Watch "Dusty Springfield - Wishin' And Hopin'" on YouTube
https://youtu.be/ycbgHM1mI0k
Hope and change SOUNDED empty. There was a very destructive plan behind it, still in effect today. Never underestimate the evil of the left
Another multiplier opportunity Jeff! The federal employees who are fighting sloppy Joe on the mandate are out of $$$. They have an official non profit established - Feds4MedFreedom.org - THEY NEED OUR HELP. THEY HAVE A DONATE LINK ON THE SITE…The hearing will be mid September and there will be oral arguments so their counsel will need money!
Yes!
I'm in.
Oh man, we're back to the Circuit Games. 3rd says this, 5th says this, 7th says....? Just keep Sotomayor away from the proceedings. "Children are dying by the millions!"
I find it interesting that all of a sudden these decisions for Conservatives are coming out. And they are all 6-3. What happened to “liberal in disguise of Conservative Justice Roberts”, who is suddenly going with the Conservative flow at every turn? My suspicious nature now tells me something is up. Not that long ago, many rulings on prolonging a baby’s life after botched abortions were ruled on just the opposite way, 3 to 6 majority for a Liberal interpretation. Made me wonder about Kavanaugh and Coney-Barrett.
I'm most assuredly wrong here, but I'm speculating that the left isn't too upset about the abortion ruling. It really has stirred up their base. What else do they have to run on?.......Gun control too, I suppose. Isn't that interesting?
I agree with you. They will play this for all it's worth.
I know this is beating a dead horse but for them my body, my choice applies to abortion but not to the "vaccines".
the double standard sticks out like a sore thumb!
Watching the street style interviews like those from Matt Walsh with the protesters is nothing but hilarious with their flustered befuddlement and not knowing how to respond to abortion versus vaccine mandates.
Exactly!
As a pharmacist, I would like to note that the morning after pill has been safely dispensed by pharmacists for at least 12 years, and has been available for purchase without a pharmacist consult for like five years now. It does not require medical supervision for use. You MAY be confusing it with the actual abortion pill, misoprostol, which is very difficult to get and does require a doctor's supervision. The morning after pill PREVENTS pregnancy by tricking the body into thinking it's already pregnant, the abortion pill does just that. . . Terminates an established pregnanvy.
Well, the thing there is that if there wasn't a pregnancy, the morning after pill wouldn't do anything at all, it would just be a useless sugar pill. The distinction that a lot of people don't understand is that it will prevent a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterine lining. As far as I'm concerned, that's an abortion. Not only does life begin at conception, but conception begins at fertilization.
Thank you for that explanation. It makes much more sense. I had it 2/3’s right but this is clear and concise.
Heard somewhere that the reversal of Roe/Wade was necessary to cover up the fact that most young people are now infertile (shots and multiple other reasons) so there would be a natural decline anyway. Hey, whatever it takes..............
Interesting take! I'll pack that one in the ole bean too as a potential reason.
I too feel they're playing this for all it's worth in order to turn young conservatives toward thinking this (the need to abort) is an important issue. Those young conservatives will then be swayed toward the left...
Burning cities, stopping traffic and beating pedestrians?
I have to agree with you that something smells fishy with all of this progress conservatives are making lately. In my opinion, it would seem that the Roe v. Wade reversal and all of the other progress we have made in such a short time ( and right before the midterms) is a political stunt that will enrage the leftists and possibly some fence sitters to vote democrat in the mid-terms. Nothing gets them riled up more than to see conservatives get their way!
overturning roe v wade was morally and legally correct, but politically I expect it to be a disaster for conservatives.
It does seem out of sorts after all the refusals to hear election fraud cases along with some of their decisions. Their true colors showed right through. Barrett and Kavanaugh the biggest of the disappointments. And then this. Out of nowhere it seems like these judges finally decided to step it up. After years of finding out we couldn’t trust any govt official, judges, school boards and teachers, the medical establishment and even military high ups…. I still say we need to sleep with one eye open with scotus. If something seems off, it probably is even if you can’t put your finger on it.
Watched the deeply cynical (read: crystal clear accurate) movie Wag the Dog last night. Wow, have we been played!
Oh well, God bless the men of the 303. [SNORT].
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=47a7PKhpFJ0
Many of us referenced, “Wag the Dog” last fall. Once the criminal withdrawal of Afghanistan was complete, the Ukraine was going to be the new industrial military complex war. And it worked. My husband who knows better and is a Vietnam vet, couldn’t give up his F0x news, and was sucked right into saving the Ukraine.
Everytime I mention Wag the Dog on the socials my post gets blocked.
My thoughts as well Laurie. While in principle, I agree with the new rulings, it almost causes my head to spin! Isn’t this a fast reversal of some long-held positions of the SC? And Roberts? What’s up with him?
Up next.......The Hunger Games.
If you live in Chicago it’s more like The Purge 🤦🏻♀️
Speaking of...I'm in Chicago today. My daughter is moving to Nashville on Thursday and can't wait to get out of this formerly beautiful city which is now like Gothem City.
And my daughter just moved to Chicago last October after 13 years in Nashville. Claims she loves the big city. 😞
So did I when I tried it. Lasted about 3 months
Oh gosh!
Here is the article explaining the 5th Circuit case mentioned today made possible by Feds 4 Medical Freedom. Below is a great quote from Marcus Thornton the founder of F4MF.
“A policy that threatens to derail or end the careers of dedicated public servants who do not consent to take a COVID vaccine is both unconstitutional and immoral,” said Marcus Thornton, president of Feds for Medical Freedom. “The decision to hear that argument in front of the full 5th Circuit is a major victory for Feds for Medical Freedom and the rule of law.”
