House Oversight produces the evidence; Biden directs media to oppose his impeachment; Romney bows out; Governor Lujan's gun ban melts down; Fla. and Ark. undermine boosters; and more.
The GOP should send media a letter stating that if they report on the impeachment hearings as the Biden administration asks them to they will treat the newscasts as in-kind political contributions that violate campaign finance restrictions. Valued at the same rate advertising on the networks and in the papers cost for same time and placement.
As for NM Gov Lujan, she once said we should all mask and social distance "forever." And if you diligently obey then living under authoritarianism will be your "reward." And that New Mexico is a "national leader" leading the way to authoritarianism. I think she believes herself.
For real. She said these things in her August 6, 2020 Facebook Live Covid Update. Tyrants gonna tyrant. It's a hellofa drug.
But I suspect they did vote for her, though probably not by as much as she won. In China's early 2020 editorials and commentary in Asia Times, Global Times and their other English-language official media they pushed back on Trump's travel ban. When Trump was described by his opponents as "xenophobic" for issuing them, because travel bans were known to be ineffective at stopping the spread of pandemic influenza. Which was and remains true, they didn't work anywhere in the world.
And China said what ALL pre-2020 global pandemic planning guides said: that because travel bans are ineffective imposing them is a political act, not based in medical science. They were social and political science. To be met with a social and political science response, var. behavioral science, aka The Science of the pandemic. Was when a medical science-based pandemic response was kicked to the curb. The travel ban was an escalation in adversarial relations, along the path to embargoes.
And China said that if the US (Trump) wanted to stick with the travel ban then it would provide the world with an opportunity to see the differences between the governing systems: Collectivist Authoritarianism vs. Individualist Democracy. The editorials and commentary went on to say that while Individualist Democracy is more innovative and creative that in times of crisis that people prefer the "firm hand of authoritarianism" to guide them through emergencies.
Their words. And they were right. They understood human psychology, the psychology of fear. Which is why NM voters and so many voters in the most authoritarian states reelected their leaders. The more fear they fed in their states the more people wanted authoritarianism.
China's official media editorials also counseled that a time of crisis isn't the time to change your governing systems. That altering the ordinary relationships that people have with their government and society in the middle of a crisis leads to division within a nation, leading to a worse overall outcome. A sort of "dance with the one who brung ya" advice to get through a crisis. Saving changes in governing systems for times when societal stresses won't be as magnified.
True story. This is what China, the CCP's approved mouthpieces said in early 2020. And guess what? Our adversary was right. They even told us in March, 2020 that antivirals (like Ivermectin and HCQ?) were proving to be effective at protecting from severe outcomes! More truth! From our adversary. Sometimes foes will tell you truths that friends won't. It's why it's good to listen to what your adversaries are telling you, in addtion to what your friends say.
Except that no one, even a short-sighted fool, deserves to be governed (of all things! babysat ... maybe; waited on in a fast food place ... maybe; but governed?!) by such a person.
And, given the high level of coordination and collusion, any decent state or local AG should be able to bring a large RICO case. Anyone in the media, and their lawyers, who participates in the racketeering will be hauled into criminal court, with all the associated legal fees. I wonder how long it would take to process those many thousands of defendants? They'll need a really big jug of fingerprint ink, and I doubt any of them will create as effective a mugshot as did Trump.
Eerily similar to the govt coordination with the social media companies. And tax money goes to media, so it seems to me a clear relationship and implied threat (of loss of income stream) is there that negates the free press protections.
I have to say, ALL of this depends on your lens. My lens says that this is just more theatre-ESPECIALLY if CNN is jumping on the bandwagon and it's already "leaked" that the fed govt is pushing media to lie. It's more extreme rhetoric, more fighting, that has no teeth and goes nowhere. And if we are seeing it and hearing about it, it's not real. The real stuff goes on in deep background and we will NEVER hear of any of it.
The whole point of it is to get caught up in it. None of it is real.
Ha-we'll never know. It also keep this ruse alive that government "works." Good people get together and the wheels turn, elections are fair and happen in real time and justice lives. We're so caught up in the drama we don't even think that it's all for show.
βBehold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves. But beware of men, for they will hand you over to the courts and scourge you in their synagogues; and you will even be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles. But when they hand you over, do not worry about how or what you are to say; for it will be given you in that hour what you are to say. For it is not you who speak, but it is the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.β
And He even said they would hate us, because they hated Him first. So we shouldnβt be surprised at their hatred and malicious actions, yet I am, more often than not. Itβs a hard thing to be hated, it seems.
Yes we actually were warned as one might deduce from the experience of The Apostles... But you know, everyone today WANTS to be an Apostle and do greater works!
Do ppl even READ their Bible thru with the eye of a critical THINKING Berean?! Nope!
He did indeed say that. The religious leaders of the day placed heavy burdens on the people - tithes of all sorts of things including herbs. Rules that had to be followed - like how far they could journey on the Sabbath. They paraded around in finery and loved to be seen standing on the street corners praying. Christ described them as whitewashed tombs full of corruption. Compared to following Him, the burdens they inflicted on people indeed made them "weary and heavy laden".
The difference is between our walk in the world and His yoke or burden. The psalms of David are particularly instructive of this, such as Psalm 23:
Yoke: The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want... Walk: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death... You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies...
David was well acquainted with adversities and enemies in life as well as the loving protection and guidance of the Lord's yoke which is never heavy but full of Grace. Thus Christ tells us, "I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves. But beware of men..."
The grace of God is sufficient for all of life and guides us to salvation.
It's Jesus' yoke of teachings that is the light burden compared to what the religious leaders were teaching. But Jesus did say: "in this world you will have trouble; take heart, for I have overcome the world." It is not Jesus doing bad things to us, but rather the sins of men causing havoc, just a Jeff woes about every day. But Jesus is gentle and lowly of heart... if we are His apprentices, so will we be.
John Mark Comer does a lovely job teaching on apprenticeship to Jesus in his podcast of the same name: John Mark Comer.
Interesting. Maybe thatβs a promise His Spirit will empower the faithful to transcend severe persecution. Reminds me of Medieval "Martyrdom of St Sebastian" paintings. Heβs portrayed with an expression of griefβlike βFather, forgive themββrather than pain and anguish. Is this a similar promise: βI have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm youβ (Luke 10:19)? Is this another: βI can do all this through Him who gives me strengthβ (Philippians 4:13)? Which passage says He will never test us beyond our ability to endure? Filled with His Spirit, what could we possibly NOT endure?
Shrewd as serpents... that part of the verse always stuck out at me. Shrewd as Lucifer? Times are a changing. Did you see the news about the world record Lithium deposit found on the Oregon border? Now the USA has the record battery making deposit. God is still watching out for us even though we have clowns running DC. Petrodollar is going away; dollar is losing its place as the world currency, BUT God is still watching out for us. We have to get control of our schools. Jeff Dornak has a great interview about the infiltration of a Socialist convention and what their plans are to continue teaching Marxism to the kids under the noses of their parents!!!
I believe one of the many reasons behind the fires is because of the minerals like Lithium. Where ever there are volcanic deposits, there is a rich cache of mineral deposits like Lithium.
Was thinking the same thing, but theyβre to busy being raped or already working in factories, oh wait, theyβre still coming across the border. No worries. π‘
The book The Slave Next Door whose author I canβt remember will illuminate but some of the realities of slave labor in the US. Perhaps not kids in factories, but you will get the idea.
Slave labor baby. Prison labor right here in the good olβ US of A. Not enough population out there to enforce any clean-up either once they dig up the βholeβ place. Dream come true for corporations.
I lose interest in anything written as having happened "millions of years ago." Is it just me, or have I just not yet opened my mind to the possibility that anyone knows what happened "millions of years ago."
Exactly what Iβve been saying. Who was here? How do we prove it? I believe even carbon dating is only reliable up to 20,000 years. IMO, thatβs a stretch also. Okay, I have a biased opinion; Iβm a Creationist.
Just read this about the Lithium after you pointed it out. Coincidentally or not, in our paper today, Biden wants to impose royalties on hard minerals like gold and copper. Just in time for a huge lithium find?
I paraphrase βItβs to help the American people, they should get their fair share of profits from mining on Federal landsβ ya right. So we can send the money to Ukraine?
The Sheldon National Refuge is down in that corner, as are tribal lands. Not sure how this is going to pan out for lithium mining.
Mining on "Federal" lands? Wasn't there something recently about no "mining" [for petroleum products"] on fed lands, which coincidentally are Indian lands? Do I err?
Yes, evil has both feet in the door of public education. Victor Hanson says the end product now is mostly βignorant and arrogant.β We do need to be shrewd as serpents, but surely not in the sense of cunning, sneaky, and twisted. Shrewd as in well-informed, alert, and strategic. Itβs repulsive to peer into the mind of evil, but the better we understand it, the easier it is to out-maneuver. Reminds me of a scene in "Patton" where he's winning a tank battle, smirks, and says, "Rommel, I read your book!"
But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self control, brutal, not loving good, ...lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God...Evil people and imposters will of on from bad to worse deceiving and being deceived. But as for you, continue in what you have learned and firmly believed, knowing from whom you have learned it and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings. which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 2 Timothy 3
Yes, we saw the perfect example of this yesterday, in the Dem running for office in Virginia who was broadcasting live sex shows for money π€¦π»ββοΈ but is now accusing Republicans of βrevenge pornβ because they publicized it. Now itβs her opponentsβ fault?? Insane.
That reminds me of another Scripture that speaks of our culture today.
Romans 1:28,32 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done....Thought they know God's righteous decree...they not only do them, but give hearty approval to those who practice them.
The word referencing doves is actually translated as "innocent" (NASB) and also means simple, unsophisticated, sincere, blameless (Greek lexicon). Reminds me of this verse (and others) where we are instructed to be above reproach: "sound in speech which is beyond reproach, so that the opponent will be put to shame, having nothing bad to say about us." (Titus 2:8) In demonstrating righteous anger, we can be innocent, sincere, and blameless, but not necessarily harmless.
Try THE NAKED BIBLE by Mauro Biglino if you REALLY want more "context and meaning". Biglino does a monumental job going back into the early Hebrew and Greek languages to show how the Good Book has been mis-translated for centuries. Get ready to have your faith CHALLENGED if you've got the courage.
I wouldnβt say mistranslated. The original translations are more like the milk that Paul spoke of and getting deeper into the Greek and Hebrew reveals the complexity of what was written and why a lifetime spent in the Book wonβt reveal all the treasures. That doesnβt mean we shouldnβt try! The Holy Spirit provides encouragement and hope through the revelations we receive as we study. Be encouraged Saints!!!
Seriously, you need to READ Biglino's book, if one believes in a HOLY SPIRIT, one can only come to the conclusion that this constructive force directed Biglino to do his research. Very few would ever go to the length this man has to elucidate (as in EXPOSE) how misguided we ALL have been by the so called 'Good Book'. Any REAL SEEKER OF TRUTH needs to at least see what Biglino has found and then reconstruct their faith if possible. I've read few books that have shaken my world so completely.
Thanks Ms Roberts but NO i"m not a follower of the Jesus man and havent been for 40 yrs...I've investigated many religions and paths to find what I know today. The information in the typical Bible is not correct at all.....that's why I recommended THE NAKED BIBLE so people can find out what lies theyve been fed for years and years. The book is written by Mauro Biglino and if you're courageous enough to find out what he discovered, your world will change.
Your description alone just makes me more suspicious. If everyone who disagrees with him is not a "REAL SEEKER OF TRUTH", it rings bells of "anyone who doesn't get the COVID jab is LITERALLY KILLING GRANNY"...
You'd ONLY know what I was talking about IF YOU HAD READ THE NAKED BIBLE. His book is not about destroying the belief systems many people have but he offers an explanation from delving into the ancient tests via the original Hebrew and Greek translations and how a book that has been revered for centuries has been giving us the wrong message. After reading his translations of original wording you will read your own bible with new eyes.......ALIENS have been with us almost forever and they are worded in the bible as "angels"....LOL. Did you know that the original records of the "Bible" don't even mention the name GOD?
You have to be extremely careful how you gauge a book that makes such claims. Good grief! I am stunned!
According to his opinion and "study," of Ezekiel 20:25 God required, REQUIRED the sacrifice of Israelite children, before "He changed His mind" and altered it to animals! It is easy to be deceived these days. Get in the Word. False teachers abound! To know Him is to know how easy it is to be deceived....
I have been reading Dennis Prager's "Rational Bible" series. He has put out 3 books: Genesis, Exodus and Deuteronomy. He goes through each one with a LOT of rational explanation, including discussion of the WHYS of what God said and why he said it at that point in time. In general, God was dealing with terrible human behavior and he approached it gradually....the idol worshipers induged in things like human sacrifice, and the next logical and rational step was to change that to animal sacrifice. The Rational Bible series is fascinating from a Christian understand point of view. We must remember that the Old Testament Bible relates things from a point of view of Bronze Age humans that were living 3000 years ago.
Dear Maggie, IF you read the book, you will CLEARLY see why christian book stores won't carry THE NAKED BIBLE. Their business is selling religion, why would they stock a book that dilutes the basis of their business. Once again, I DARE you to buy a copy of his book and take a chance. Lots of us are learning to leave the herd these days, now here's your chance.
YOU havent read his book or you wouldnt be saying he is far-fetched. Don't be lazy, read what he says, GET his book. A rational person will not deny what he has found in the bad translations of the ancient scripts over the years......You can do research to verify what he has found has been deleted, amended or repurposed to serve a political aim. You will always be in the dark about many things unless you at least see what Biglino has to say.
Yeah, my BS detector is twigging like crazy now. As another commenter said, why would I spend money on a book that already shows major signs of being rubbish, especially when you don't seem to be giving any clear details on what exactly it explains, and subtly insulting those who disagree with you. Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
I didn't mean to "ignite" anything with my comment about the study bible. :-)
I do love this publication ... it is beautifully done on multiple levels.
That said, I'm not trying to "sell it" to anyone else ... there are so many great helpful guides out there.
IMHO, we need to be careful of attacking every well-intentioned endeavor.
In the last several years, I've watched as people who started as White Hats, or Truth Warriors, ended up either attacked, or fallen to poor choices. Just to name a few:
- Dr Gold - America's Front Line Doctors, evidently used money from the 501c3 for personal gain
- Dr Malone suing the Breggins for $25M over a concept and perceived slight
- Dr Reiner Fuellmich's covid commission falling apart over $$$ accusations
- more recently, Leslie Manookan of Health Freedom and the $$ fight with Josh/US Freedom Flyers
I could go on, and I don't know all of the particulars of the above (don't care too at this point.)
The conclusion I've come to is that we are indeed a "fallen" species. Each of us needs to avoid arrogance/pride at all costs, and embrace humility whenever possible. Many people are fighting a global evil that has managed to reach epic proportions ... hopefully we can try to not tear each other "a new one" in the process of fighting this evil. :-)
Very well articulated. It is a broken world and it's full of hardened hearts. I used to have one. I recall the movies I saw as a young man and it makes me cringe. It slowly boiled my heart into a selfish narcissistic existence that I see reflected in others today. Each time I drive my car and get a bumper sucker on my tail that wants to go faster and faster and faster because I'm in their way and they're more important than me.
I still struggle with my lack of charity to those less fortunate and see us, as a people, travelling into a world that resembles the life portrayed in The Hunger Games than that shared in Star Trek. I do hope I'm wrong and know that it's up to the USA to stay free and fight for liberty, lest we fall into socialism and communism and the majority become chattel like times of yore.
Yes, and these people would not be knocked off their pedestals unless we had already put them on one. Many talk about wanting individual liberty but then put the onus on a worldly 'savior' to get us there. The onus is on all of us to seek the truth, share the truth, and be the change we want to see, while also recognizing that we don't have to agree with each other on everything in order to work to accomplish great things.
We in my county are in the midst of trying to recall a county executive who is responsible for a property tax reassessment debacle. I spent a big part of 2022 working for his opponent but he was an incumbent who also happened to be a member of the MLB Hall of Fame and name recognition put him over the top. Many who are now part of the recall team not only voted for him but are also D's whose views on many of the issues are (or were) at odds with those of us who launched the effort. We are trying very hard to welcome them and not get sucked into polarizing messaging. "Honesty and accountability" as our stated goal, and not "get this corrupt Democrat out of office". And in the course of one on one discussions, some are coming around to see that the rot is not just at the county level. Who knows if we will be successful, but baby steps....
THE Tony Evans who invited Beto to the pulpit in his church to espouse his virtuous garbage to a filled house? I loved Tony Evans. That made me cringe...
Erick Erickson is a PCA member and a political writer / commentator. He is not a Trump supporter but he also is no admirer of the Romneys in the GOP. Here's a link to his current column, which struck me as remarkably on target: https://ewerickson.substack.com/p/faith-and-politics-at-a-crossroad
Meh, reminds me of the story of the guy in the flood who gets on his roof and prays to God to save him. God sends a boat, a helicopter, etc, The guy says no, I have faith in God. Drowns and dies, and asks God, why didn't you save me? I have way too many friends like the guy on the roof. The reason we got here in the first place was inattention and unwillingness to push back. I agree with Erick we don't need a POLITICAL savior, but we also need to get off our knees and get to work fixing the problems. If we are to reflect Christ, we should then also recognize that he flipped the bird to the establishment of his time, exposing them for what they were. And, he spent time in reflection and prayer. We need an all of the above strategy. Being nice is why we are where we are now. Just my humble opinion.
I like your humble opinion. Itβs humbling to know God can do everything by Himself. He doesn't need us. We're lucky He wants us. Itβs humbling and empowering to know He expects us to work with Him. Weβre in serious trouble if Heβs waiting for us to βGo and make disciples, baptize and teach them to do everything I told you to do.β (Matthew 28:19-20). Our country has failed that assignment miserably in the last 50 years, and we have a lot of catching up to do.
And he used imperfect people. Moses protested that he was not a good speaker. Jeremiah protested that he was too young. Peter denied Christ 3 times and was called 'Satan' for thinking as man thinks instead of how God thinks. And so on. The bible is full of stories of God working through imperfect people. And yet, people quit going to churches as they find too much fault with the people in them. Last I checked, Jesus was not pastor of any of them. Yes, we as Christians need to do better, but people also need to recognize that God can work through all of us regardless of our faults.
Excellent points. God works through imperfect people because those are the only boots on the ground. My son in law says our best ability is availability. So, Dear Lord, we kneel humbly before You. Please use us to glorify Your holy name, and all praise to You for fulfilling Your perfect plan through imperfect us.
I bet Dr Ladapo has watched this searing indictment by Dr Martin of the WHO, Gates, Baric, Fauci and other genocidal players. He lays it out crystal clear.
I just read this excellent comment on Mark Crispin Miller's substack today...

I got into it with a scumbag Ivy League Econ professor just yesterday. I had sent a note to about 100 people praising Djoker's victory at the US Open saying among other things,
"Whether you follow tennis or not and whether you root for Djokovic or not this is a victory for those who stood up for their beliefs (and can think critically) in the face of medical tyranny and collective insanity."
I included a lot of people who actively went along with the Covid Con- he was one of them.
Part of his respones was- "Three years is a long time, perhaps it is time to let it go."
I followed up with:
"Three years lost to the development of a child can represent a lifetime lost.
If you abandon your principles for the sake of social acceptance, they are not your principles. Theyβre your costume. Not having any principles to begin with makes that easier.
But sure, let's just write off the single largest medical genocide in human history as a minor bump in the road. Nazi concentration camp guards had to look over their shoulders for 70 years after WW II ended.
How is collusion and criminal conspiracy between the USG, big pharma, big tech, the medical industrial complex and big media any different?
Many social structures have been fractured or decimated in the past three and a half years- none of this is accidental. This was done with malicious intent. Families have literally been torn apart in many instances.
They lied every step of the way, coercing individuals to inject themselves with a toxic poison produced by serial felons.
And the crooks involved lined their pockets with billions. A person with principles knows it is unjust to move on until we have properly dealt with this. Our children and grandchildren deserve it.
Thousands of academic gauleiters such as yourself aided and abetted this destruction- they are also guilty and should be dealt with mercilessly.
I watched as the students were getting repeatedly ill from the injections- virtually all of them. I spoke openly and repeatedly with virtually all of them and of the 400+ students hardly a single one of them wanted to get the injection.
They were blackmailed and coerced by the university into "complying." Couldn't get their school work, locked out of dorms, kicked off campus etc., if they refused the shot. For international students this meant deportation.
That's not compliance- that's force. Cornell needle raped these students.
You not only stood by, you and everyone who actively participated and/or remained silent aided and abetted this.
Card-carrying members of the βeducatedβ classes, like yourself, who have a warped sense of purpose beyond the dull, aimless wanderings of Academia are today's βGood German.β They will always throw people into the gas chambers in a heartbeat when push comes to shove- do not doubt that for a second.
@Maggie this is why I hate to miss any comments here! Some days I canβt make it all the way through, but when I see a comment like this, it reminds me to at least try. There is so much gold to be mined!
For the same reason that a handful of conservatives still survive at all the woke institutions, and that a goodly number of us didn't succumb to the pandemic scare-a-thon, we are resistant to the brainwashing, but can blend in well enough that we go undetected :)
My sense is that these universities jumped the shark at particular moments. SF State still taught critical thinking in Spring 2005, had great literature and writing and philosophy professors. But as they died or retired, they were replaced by woke people, all vaccinated with some huge number of vaccines, and raised on phones, social media, and the internet. University of Iowa Writer's Workshop went from brilliant to making everyone identify their gender around 2016. I don't know about Gainesville. William Logan is the warlord of that workshop and would make even the hilarious Jeff Childers ("oh the humanity" rotfl) crawl on his belly in humility and deference. But even such a judgemental elitist as he certainly beats a woke instructor forcing everyone to read the zombie eyed Robin D'Angelo's WEF inspired books on white privilege and white tears. Dark Horse had a segment on how libraries are now removing books from before 2008 as they are irrelevant. So farewell Hamlet. "Angels and ministers of grace defend us"!!!
My own library system in St Johns county is awful. I can never find the kind of books I like on conspiracy issues etc.....I am forced to buy my own online. The system here in St Johns censures everything that comes their way for political correctness and so called "relevance". I check their dumpster for the types of books that are considered "out of date or relevance"....LOL. LIbraries aren't like they used to be 30 yrs ago.
HOW in the world do we have 2 Originalists on the Supreme Court??? The Marxists HATE it that any jurists or law students can escape their tentacles. Look up every Law School, every Legal Association or group (with a very few Christian based exceptions), ALL are involved in DEI propagation, dismantling traditional Americanism, decency and restraint and savagely gorging on its carcass while extolling the process and their role in it. Putting the FUN into the Fundamental Transformation of America into the Marxist Utopia it should have always been.
Thereβs an interesting conspiracy theory afoot around the originalist shift on the Supreme Court. The Constitution isnβt dead yet. As hoped, itβs been inevitable that challenges to the likes of Roe v Wade, DACA, the Administrative Procedures Act, and βDecorate Me a Cake You Homophobeβ would keep pounding on the Supreme Court doors. So, if you like chaos, seat a conservative-leaning majority on the SC, get some βprecedentsβ overturned, scream βDemocracy is under attack!β from every microphone, unleash the goon squads, and then broadcast the blood and chaos live from the astroturf. Chaos feeds the Beast. Doesnβt matter who gets blamed for it. But let βem howl and capitalize on the chaos. Weβre standing up, and things are moving in the right direction.
Truth agitates and activates Evil; they must ebb and flow and yin and yang i suppose. The conservative leaners in the middle appear prone to go with the activist liberals even more than with originalists; they love the precedents and the station of the Court which is why truth advocates are generally disappointed and let down by the continual compromising they run toward and advocate so strongly for. Conservative Activist Judges there is not a single one, and I'm not sure there ever has been such a jurist confirmed or ever could be so I suppose Originalist is the best we'll ever hope for and their powers of persuasion and sanity they bring to the middlings who love their power to decide cases as much as "independent" voters do.
All truth there. We need to stop thinking of βactivistβ and βconservativeβ as mutually exclusive. Weβre useless chaff and deadwood if all we do with the sword of the Spirit is admire its shiny sharpness.
yes, impassive, impartial originalists would be by definition considerate, conservative, but also inactive and non-partisan upon their lofty perch and thus an unnoticed minor obstacle to the ACTIVIST/Leftists who're furiously chopping away at the trunk of the Tree of Liberty.
Funny how thoughts converge. Reposting part of a recent exchange with Freedom Fox: Christ said, βThe meek shall inherit the earth.β In that context, βmeekβ does not mean βsilent pushover.β It refers to something more like peace through strength, well-armed but not threatening, not hesitant but never the first to draw the sword. When it must be drawn, we should wield it until the enemy is crying for mercy or destroyed. The Powers have drawn more than enough blood to justify our adopting General Pattonβs dictum: "Nobody ever defended anything successfully. There is only attack and attack and attack some more." Add to that General McAuliffβs battle plan at the Bulge: "We are surrounded by the enemy. That means we have the greatest opportunity ever presented to an army. We can attack in any direction we choose."
Same here but I now distrust ANYONE from Harvard or Yale not to have been indoctrinated with the Skull and Bones mission . I'm very suspicious of Ladapo's walk like I do with DeSantis. Both are disguising another agenda that hasn't shown up yet. Doing a background check on Lapado, who paid for all those very expensive universities he attended? Is he another Obama in sheep's wool? I suspect there's way more to this dude than appears. DeSantis was a Skull & Bones member, look up what that 'secret student organization' is about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Skull_and_Bones_members
Oh, I would rethink Ladapo. He is hated, vehemently by woke medical "professionals" at UF (or formerly at UF who moved on to more far left institutions, if that is even possible). He was routinely ROASTED daily by those who couldn't hide their disgust for any physician who merely tickled and or trampled on their covid mantra... "I don't believe he really graduated from Harvard..." "He was probably in the lowest 10% of his class..." "He is no physician, how did he even get into Harvard?!"
It surely sounded racist to me, to listen to their vile diatribes... THE REALLY HATE HIM.
Not brave just needed a job and you know how it goes around this place. They controlled the jobs and new industry for so long that it was the only game in town after I got laid off from my corporate job. I like most of the people and I have been involved in some really big and interesting projects so I soldier on. Ever heard of the CMS project at CERN? Pretty kool stuff for an old hillbilly.
I hate the way the racist card is played only in some circumstances but not others! Anything can be said against a person of color if they are republicans! Unbelievable and nauseating.
I agree. And I honestly think that many on the left truly are racist. They really believe that other races are inferior and need to be told what to do and how to think.
Oh, it is so obvious... the woke liberals can say whatever they wish...despite the very fact that their prejudice is showing through! They attacked his race, for heavens sake! My blood was boiling...
I think he's useful for DeSantis, gives him cover for the pandemic freedom lane he strategically chose for his path to the presidency. He didn't see any other potential candidates in it, the rest more or less went along with pandemic mandates and the fear campaign. DeSantis saw a wide lane without any company to split the vote, back when nobody else was daring to challenge the heavy hand. Even Abbott was shamed into following the DeSantis lead, Texans can't be less free than Floridians, the Lone Star republic and all.
Pre-Ladapo DeSantis only had a toe in the water of freedom in Florida. Churches were closed, beaches were closed, masks were demanded, jabs were pushed, all standard fare in Florida from April-October, 2020. DeSantis started pushing back, but didn't have many medical professionals, and none in his administration who were backing him. His presidential campaign strategy needed a Ladapo to support him.
But Ladapo found out early on that he couldn't speak and act as freely as he wanted to about the pandemic mandates. His visit with Florida legislators where Democrats demanded he mask up to visit with them in their offices that he said was dumb got him a DeSantis smackdown. He found out how long his leash was. He was told he couldn't get ahead of "the boss," his job was to make DeSantis look good, not bring him into controversies he wasn't looking for. Since then he's been much more metered in his communications. He runs them up to "the boss" for approval first.
Whether or not he's an inside player on another agenda, who knows. But he's a team player on Team DeSantis, working for The Man. And as long as he's useful to help DeSantis achieve his ambitions he'll stay there.
Thanx FF, for the info on Lapado (and DeSantis) I wasn't aware of, however I'm still wary of Lapado and his pedigree. Was much the fan of DeSantis until I started to find where some of his funding was coming from for his presidential aspirations, then the shades began to come off. DeSantis is a slickster.
My sentiments, as well. I had communications with state legislators and second hand comms out of his staff in Tallahassee in late 2020 through early 2021. And I started looking closely at the DeSantis gubernatorial campaign in late 2021 through early 2022. I even had some communications with some senior consultants on it you've probably read about in the news. They had strong DC insider pedigrees. Seemed out of place for an "outsider" campaign. Establishment R's, not MAGA. The shake up after the illegal raid on Mar-a-Lago was when the veil officially came off.
He says all the right words, he did things better in Florida than most states. But he's not the freedom hero he likes to claim he is. A whole lot of bluff and bluster, but a whole lot of vapors behind it. About that no vax passport cruises originating from Florida? Yeah. Toothless pronouncements.
But he definitely expresses a better understanding of infectious disease and Covid than Trump does to this day. Whatever he got wrong about it in 2020-2021 he's corrected. Trump has doubled down on what he got wrong. So there's that. The DC puppet who's learned from Covid mistakes? Or the DC antagonist who's not learned from Covid mistakes? We're having to pick from flawed options.
To those of us in supposedly red conservative states with RINO governors and legislators, DeSantis, despite his flaws, is a complete freedom fighter compared to what we have and what we experienced π Even in the summer of 2020, the contrast between Florida and Indiana (I was in both states that summer) was stark, and became even more so as time went on. DeSantis seems more courageous because weβre comparing him to the vast majority of other milquetoast governors who, blue or red, went along much more enthusiastically with all of the CDC protocols and didnβt push back AT ALL. So yes, we need to expect more of him, but also recognize that his relatively mild actions look like a pit bull towards the federal government, compared to the smiling tail wagging pleaser golden retriever governors most of us had.
Yes! We live in Fort Wayne and went to FL 3 times in 2020 to escape Holcscumb's flim flammery. The contrast was stark, and we met many, many people running away from Michigan, too.
Why is out government trying to kill off 65 and older and immunocompromised people? Think about that. The shot, that we know kills people, is not recommended for any one else. Is it because of the financial burden of social security and Medicare, and medical care, ignoring the fact that folks have been paying for this service their entire working lives and our government squandered that money?
Exactly. Elders and people with chronic conditions are the last who should be getting the kill shots, as they are most likely to be killed by them. They are the very definition of βuseless eaters.β
Thank you! Iβve been saying this from the get-go! The most vulnerable are privileged to step in front of the line? My husband is 81 Sunday & Iβm 77 later this month. No way were we gonna take those shots! Best stand ever. Our internist highly recommended them but refused us (I asked for prescriptions) Hydroxychloroquine & Ivermectin. When asked why not he said he didnβt believe they work. Told him they do bc we take them as part of our prevent protocol. I changed internists, but husband still used him.
Part of my reasoning exactly. A friendβs then 99yr old mother politely refused the experimental shots while living in a comfortable upscale retirement facility; staff was perplexed. Sweet lady (widow of WWII vet) said sheβd done her research; nothing showed they were safe. Sheβd lived a good life for 99 yrs. & wasnβt going to put any experimental substance in her body.
She was the only resident, staff member etc that didnβt succumb. Later a covid wave swept thru & guess who didnβt get sick???
YES! They want to reduce the countryβs financial burden for SS and Medicare. Isnβt that sad. I believe they feel they are useless eaters as opposed to welfare recipients. π They did pay for what theyβre getting.
Them getting the shots does thin the herd. I live in a 55+ community in Florida. I dare say I wouldnβt mind if most or all the socialist or communist in their age group disappeared. A LOT of them donβt like DeSantis. And nothing makes them happy except complaining.
Reduce the 'burden' of paying SS and Medicare, and yet paying illegals who come here more than SS recipients get. And then I suppose giving them voter IDs.
Yup! Stupid plan. They think they can get away with this forever. Theyβre wrong. It will backfire on them. I donβt know how, but it will. Look at NYC. Itβs happening.
Yep, get rid of the elderly and infirm, give citizenship and voting rights to the illegals. They will then be bound to pay taxes on their earnings to refill the coffers.
I think they just want to kill as many as possible, but older ones are a "burden on the system" (something I obviously disagree with) so in their minds, that's less money they have to spend on these people. Disgusting attitude. They rank up there with the Nazis wanting to exterminate various groups.
Agree completely. Someone would have to explain to me how someone who has worked their entire life and paid into the system, been a good citizen, did their fair share, now deserves to be put down because they are no longer productive? I'm just not on board with this.
Marxist Death Cult; they don't contribute sufficiently to the Revolution any longer and their best contribution is relinquishing both their wealth and their burden.
I also think they are trying to eradicate those who have seen so many of these things go down repeatedly that they are unfoolable, a bit like the immigrants from communist and socialist countries. Older people learned civics, biology, and world history, not that we liked it lol, but we learned it. Older people also know how long the corporations have had the opportunity to make wise plans to phase out and phase in environmental practices, but did freaking nothing except continue like rabid locusts, if insects get rabies lol. Now suddenly corporations are oh so Net Zero carbon footprint ecologically aware, like Bezos with his little climate hour glass with wings, after he lobbied for lockdown so small business would be destroyed.
They want to terminate with prejudice all that accumulated life experience that could be passed down to younger generations as well as get everyone off the Medicare and social security rolls. Rise up like greybearded lions I say!
yes! part of re-creating each generation or cohort into something less godly and more depraved is extinguishing the voice, legitimacy, and station of the elderly. Dishonoring them is cool, modern, and progressive yet societal and cultural suicide but many youthful brains get busy and perform atrocities for a reward and acclaim and other base and selfish reasons. Those in our gvt and institutions and corporations ARE the manifestation of fatherless (yes YOU Hunter!), disconnected, entitled lashing-out toddlers despite the appearance of adulthood and modernity and sophisticated education and "global" citizenship.
Good points, CF. Gen X college grads and many younger have no concept of the damage done to their Constitution. Woke seems normal to them. We do seem to have some 20-somethings who understand what's up, and they're not happy. May their numbers increase.
I've said from the beginning , if they'd just waited another 15-20 yrs, this deal would've gone over with ease. They got impatient cuz the old timers, like Kissinger, Schwan's and Soros, fall into that category, too.
Truly evil. And I will stand in their way and speak this truth:
What does the Bible say about the value of human life?
From its very beginning (Genesis 1:26-28), the Bible tells us that we (humans) are created in the image of God. Therefore, every person, from conception until natural death, possesses inherent dignity and immeasurable worth.
As long as we continue to stand firm and refuse to veer from this absolute truth, we can avoid untold amounts of pain and suffering and even major atrocities committed by those with evil agendas.
To the sworn Enemies of God and mankind the hated "images of God" need to be maligned, corrupted, devalued, expunged by all means avail. prostitution, slavery, addiction, indifference, apathy, hopelessness, depression, loss of purpose and value, suicide, homicide, torture, de-humanization through philosophy, classifying embryos, elderly, injured and unborn as less than worthy, pitting races and classes against each other. We are vulnerable to these anti-Gospels if we don't pursue truth and the tenants of Truth.
Real simple, real evil. All of the money paid into SS was put into General Funds, and spent. None of it, none of it, was escrowed to pay SS recipients when the time comes. So, the cabal does not have the money to pay them. Three choices. Kill them off. Print to infinity. Fess up, pay the piper, and hope the people don't lynch all of you. They chose plan 1 and plan 2, because they still won't have enough money for all they owe after killing off all of the elderly.
No one's history matters. If you're not productive (paying taxes) TODAY, and willing to be herded and watched like cattle, you have no place in the NWO. Just ask Harrari.
Believe me, I absolutely don't think they are and find the notion that anyone is useless disgusting. Rather, I think the powers that be think they are because they generally require more healthcare, e.g. Medicare, that the government pays for. And sadly, there are a lot of unhealthy people in this country.
Much of it is unnecessary "healthcare" that includes endless Big pHARMa prescriptions and useless tests...
An elderly friend complained that her son was insisting she get the "new booster" and a mammogram "because it's been 15yrs since your last one!" She's 89! Her response to his demand to get the booster, "I am not getting it! I got covid after the last one and I was sick for two weeks! My PCP even told me not to get it, after she pushed all of the others! And, no flu vax for me either, don't even ask!" As for the mammogram? Her doctor said that would be fine, if they found tumor they would do a lumpectomy, and treat her.... if it looked as if she'd be around another 10 yrs... WAIT! WHAT??? What 89yr old needs that?!?
And each family with a loved one in this age group must be their advocate. The assisted care center, CNA, or any other healthcare professional should not be making medical decisions for your family member. Itβs a terrible cultural standard weβve set when we send our elderly off to a third party and hope they are well cared for.
Absolutely! Every elder needs an advocate. And if anyone, not just the elderly, has to enter the acute medical system, you need an advocate. One that has a modicum of sense and understanding of more than basic tenants. The system is over burdened with sick people and understaffed. I guess it was the plan. But the sick are at the mercy of an exhausted system.
Dr. David "Bow Tie" Martin speculated a year or more ago that 2026 was the target date for most of the slow damage to be mostly complete. He linked it to the insolvency of the so-called "entitlement" programs.
The labeling of those programs I have funded for my entire life as entitlements whereby fiscal irresponsibility and fraud by our corrupt leaders has essentially guaranteed I'll never get even half back what I paid into it, not even accounting for inflation... well that labeling really pisses me off. /rant off (for now)
I have never figured out how I paid for something, all and along, and it became an entitlement to me. Maybe someone changed the definition along the way and I didn't get the e-mail???
IL state pensioner here. If I draw my SS or that of my spouse, the amount if SS payment to me is deducted from the state pension. Our overlords called it double dipping, regardless of the fact that I contributed to SS and am entitled to that money, AND the state pension funds and SS funds are two separate fund sources (State of IL vs. Federal). π‘
We've been enslaved by the Govt-Financial Complex for generations and the only value we have is in serving it and the aims it contrives. Once the scales dip then the valuation of human assets must be re-calibrated to bring balance.
When each of us were eligible to receive early SS payments, we signed up. Quick and simple. A few people asked us what was the difference in payment benefits from taking them early vs. waiting until full eligibility. We both said we have no idea. We never looked, never calculated. Neither of us thought we would ever get a dollar, so we wanted to get anything now vs. maybe nothing later. Also, those already on SS will in all likelihood be the last cut when the time comes. No regrets.
Yup. Wrote a song in the 1980's that turned out to be prescient. One line: "By the time the baby boom turns 65, they'll rather see us dead than alive . . . "
My thoughts exactly!!! The elderly are more at risk of adverse effects than any. The elders in assisted living and nursing homes vitamin D levels are probably so low as nonexistent. What they need is Vitamin D3, C, and zinc. The poor dears have no immune defense. Dr. McCrary continues to say elder and immune compromised should get the shot. That's just insane. And the masses who don't work outside need to supplement, but it's an expense they can't or won't incur.
During the plandemic a province(?) in India handed out packets containing C, D, and Ivermectin. It's impossible to distance in India - as if that's a thing. They're rates of infection were very low. If India can do it for their masses, every nation could do it. But. Wait! That would put pharma out of business.
Us geezers (many of whom were educated when schools and universities still functioned as designed) need to be moved out of the way, to make room for compliant economic migrants from nations where the concept of the "individual" is meaningless. The government will buy their votes before it'll continue supporting the folks who built the current economy.
Catherine Austin Fitts has made very clear a decision was taken by the cabal in 1998 to depopulate, starting with the high cost elderly, because they concluded there was no way they could ever honor all of their unfunded liabilities. If the government had to follow GAAP like all private businesses, they would all be in jail.
Rahmβs brother, correct? I remember hearing a speech he gave several years back about this topic and assumed that he was for assisted suicide for the elderly, but this article proves otherwise. Iβll have to rethink my opinion of him.
You read my mind! Every time I see that theyβre only recommending the jabbbbb for seniors and/or immune compromised---Iβm like, βWatttt??!!!β No one needs this poison--especially not the seniors and immune compromised! Geez!
Yes, I believe that that is exactly why they are doing it. Killing off those who are 65 and older will decrease the amount of those who should be getting that money.
and open borders..one theory the middle class here in this country don't have enough kids and think for themselves (at least some do)....those flooding our boarders are future slaves/laborers, the middle class dissolving....elites and slaves will be left
Good riddance, Mitt! One down and at least 6 more to go in the Senate! Burr --NC, Cassidy--LA, Collins--Maine, Murkowski--Alaska, Sasse--Nebraska and Toomey from PA.
Sasse from Nebraska is gone and good riddance. I can say that I regret voting for his RINO a$$. He is another empty suit that was filled with campaign lies. Nebraska backed his bags and sent him to Florida. Sorry Florida.....
Yea, we voted for him too. My husband still rants about the reason we voted for him in the first place was that 'he was the only one who read the entirety of Obamacare' but did he ever do anything about it? NOPE. Sorry plebs, you're stuck with ever higher costs and no options!
Romney got 47.2% of the aggregate vote from the educated and wary anti-Marxist Americans who didn't believe the slick campaigning mis and dis information about Obama being a mainstream Liberal rather than the proven Commie and palatable Jihadist in a suit.
I always referred to him as John McShame; sure we can give the guy credit for his service and etc but to surrender to Obama over the banking "crisis" and shi- talk his VP pick and again disdain his voter base is unforgiveable. He was way cozier with Dems than conservatives so what can we conclude really? Preferring war heroes that weren't captured (and Rep. politicians that Aren't owned by Dems) i suppose would be rankling and uncouth but an attention getting comment.
I really liked Sasse, for the most part. But he voted for the covid stimulus, and he became a crazed never-trumper. I can tell you now, Ricketts is NOT an improvement.
I kept trying to figure out the game of Sasse going to FL to head up a college (university?). Methinks he is in position for RDSβ backers to fund as RDS successor. π€·ββοΈ
I agree with you! But we can't even get the so-called conservatives to keep things together, so how could we get Abbott recalled? There needs to be a huge house cleaning in our state!!!
Senator "I love Red Flag laws" John Cornyn - TX must go too! He will face a brutal primary fight in 2026, and when Ken Paxton emerges from his sham Impeachment trial unscathed, Cornyn will become very reluctant to show his face outside of Austin.
His lawyers are BRILLIANT! Enjoyed listing to a clip of one yesterday. Talk about a disgrace! He's being tried for having done none of the things they're trying him for... at least the way it looks to me.
Any thought on the speculation Romney is going to run for President as a no label candidate and take some west coast states so no candidate can meet the electoral requirements?
Run for President? Not again!!!! He said in a sweet little speech that he wouldnβt seek office again bc he would be in his mid-80βs so it was time to bow out. Thankfully!
Mittens saw the writing on the wall and decided to cut his losses. His RINO hide is not thick enough for the skewers that are pointed at him should he raise his horned snout.
Hi Jay. You do know heβs is the President of the University of Florida.. right? His contract is Uber lucrative with at least 3 perks arguably new in the higher ed echelons. Obviously an opinion many think he is destined for lots bigger opportunities although itβs hard to imagine a sweeter deal then the one he has.
Its a great day Jeff, except where the jabs are concerned, I say, "do not recommend the bioweapon injections for anyone, wether you're 6 months or 106, no one should ever be subjected to a murderous bioweapon injection."
I passionately hate, to the inner most parts of my core, when they say except if your 65 and older or have autoimmune issues. Or if you have diabetes or heart disease. Or if you are fragile in your health. Grrrr. Furthering the attempt to murder the elderly and sickly.
I will not be satisfied until they STOP using that line of BS to further manipulate people who have health issues.
No one should ever, for any reason, inject a bio weapon! Period!
It is truly like they've managed to utterly disappear the prevention and early treatment protocols. Nasal spray, then repurposed drugs and nutraceuticals. And they've terrorized everyone about ivermectin. My friend bought sheep drench ivm to prevent all his adopted dogs getting heartworms, and he was utterly conflicted, knowing all the propaganda is BS, but terrified that it might be true. I think there's a clue there as to why the people still mask and test and take boosters. He's conscious of the conflict, but others probably aren't.
I believe you! I am so very sorry. I lost my dad before all of this madness and for that I am thankful! He would have refused the nonsense!
I was helping a friend care for her elderly uncle in an assisted living facility in 2021-2022. Every single time the health dept came around with boosters most of the residents got covid. Towards the end of his life the facility announced that they would not allow the health department to return. If we had not been there to care for him he would have died in 2021. At 8k per month, his "assisted care" amounted to less than a visit a day by facility workers... he didn't eat if they didn't help him to the dining room.... he wasn't bathed unless we were there to witness it. He was hospitalized 4 times for severe bladder infections. The hospital was no better. A nurse never darkened the door most days...... the floors never mopped, the room never cleaned... bedsheets were a luxury.... and that was at the local teaching hospital.π΅βπ«ππ’
That is disgusting!! I donβt know how these people can live with themselves, treating others this way!!
And weβre supposed to sing their praises as being βheroesβ π I will only do that for people I know tried to help patients and went above and beyond, not for those who have a particular job or work in a certain place or industry.
So the rationale I heard for continuing to recommend it to the elderly is that they are already in their twilight years so won't have to suffer long from the side effects?! WTH?! We know the darn things don't work at all so yea, why do they continue to offer them to the elderly? And Naked Emperor (I think) has posted 2 different articles recently about how the situation in the nursing homes was much, much worse than we ever knew.
I just turned 66. I feel and act like I am 45 except for some aches and pains due to ageing spine..I guess that makes me elderly? Why would I want that damned shot???
Ditto here ... except I'm two months short of 76 ... with near-ideal BMI, BP, pulse rate, bun and creatine numbers etc etc. To a large degree and up to a point, age is more a function of your medical history and physical condition, than it is simply chronological. Said in another way, my 76 = an obese inert diabetics' 60. Oh, and for the feds who monitor these blogs: I still report income and still pay into SS and Medicare. So leave me the duck alone!
WHY do even good doctors recommend the jab for people over 65 or high-risk? Those are the people who absolutely should not get it. Why are we sacrificing those people?
Yes Jeff, Florida should study the jab harm -and start with this group.
My sisterβs cardiologist in Venice told her heβd βfireβ her as a patient if she got a booster (she kept insisting she needed). Some MDs are aware.
Registering at a new doctors office with endless papers to sign which would take a lawyer and a full day to actually read, but besides the usual checking off of symptoms, past surgeries, etc...'Have you had the flu, pneumonia, tetanus/pertussis vaccines??
Too bad I couldnt check off a HELL NO on their ipad.
Actually they are saying consult your doctor if youβre over 65 and they are sending guidance out to doctors that show true data on the shots so they are well-informed.
"During the trying wee hours of the night, while she tossed and turned, Governor Lujanβs jalapeΓ±o-tortured subconscious mind excreted an idea, a runny sort of an idea anyway, an idea that dumped into her somnolent consciousness like a plop of salsa into the middle of the sour cream bowl." Thank you for the vivid mental pictures, Jeff....EEEWWWWWWW!!
"Just try giving up your rights for timeout, you'll stop caring about them quickly, it's easy, we'll all be much healthier. Mask and social distance "forever." And if you do it correctly the "reward" is giving up your rights "FOREVER!""
For real. She said these things in her August 6, 2020 Facebook Live Covid Update. Tyrants gonna tyrant. It's a hellofa drug.
She'll be granted a prestigious IVY League position lecturing on how to properly and progressively govern an unworthy state. This is NOT Failure, rather a new opportunity to ascend the ranks of NeoMarxist power structure.
That was stomach-churn inducing. The condescension in her voice was insulting. Sounded like she was speaking to third grade students. I pray this video follows her around NM for the rest of her life.
I'm sure there's even more videos like this. She made a series of them, many are on YouTube, most are on her Facebook Live page. I haven't the time or the stomach to watch and listen to them all. But I'm sure there's even more stomach-churn inducing condescension in them. Rich material for an opposition research effort that a well-funded political opponent could expose. I just remember this one being shared when it first came out and then re-sharing it on social media, back when I was still on it.
South Park has an episode devoted to Chipotle along the same lines. "Chipotlaway" in which Billy Mays sells a product for cleaning one's drawers after eating it.
We call it that too!!! My daughter said every time they would go it became a bathroom emergencyπππ . Needless to say, they no longer go to Taco Hell.......
This is exactly what needs to begin happening to politicians who violate the Constitution. Itβs time they started suffering the legal consequences of their decisions so as to send a message to their cohorts that treason does not pay.
Brian OβShea, Naomi Wolfβs husband, has a good piece on this attempt to trample our civil liberties:
As I quote in my Discussion Thread: Gun Rights vs. Gun Control:
βLaws that forbid the carrying of arms ... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed one.β
Michelle Lujan- Grisham, MLG as we lovingly refer to her was a sacrificial lamb for her party to test the waters. She is on the same level with Kamala on a brightness scale. New Mexicans are cheering at her very public disgrace.
I wish I could Like or mark this on fire 5-50 times. No consequences, no change. An attempt to circumvent the Constitution and abuse those you serve HAS to be a crime punishable in a way that scares the bad taco truck food right out of them!
What you point out here was also in the NM AGβs response-->not just that the Governorβ EO was unconstitutional but that it would not have the desired effect of reducing the gun violence. So refreshing in this instance to see that there are still some logical and courageous Democrats in the nation. Take note though that they are in flyover country, not DC or some coastal city.
This appears to be an attempt by the Governor to provoke an insurrection. One could reasonably expect this in response to the clear and naked attempt to deny the natural rights of a population under color of authority.
I say her opponents DEMAND she provide evidence that the violence requires her executive intervention and then that she properly and lawfully activate the Natl Guard into Albuquerque and Bern. County to gain control against the "insurrection" led by criminal gang activity since that's the logical conclusion and process. Soft-pedalling her personal tastes in dictatorship didn't fly.
So excited to tell my students the good news about New Mexico!! I waxed on about what happened..along with an update on Missouri vs Biden case. I told them they are the future and they will have to fight to keep the freedoms that we have. ...that I am not the future , they are.
I had to remind them that taking the stand means they could lose family, friends, jobs, homes etc. It has a price. They were shocked when I told them about the teachers who would get back pay from losing their jobs. But again those teachers experienced loss first, before the reward/ compensation
Thanks, I'm hoping to finish the writing by the end of the year, then next year to edit and get it out. It will probably be digital only on Amazon, but God may have more extraordinary plans. He's the one who is patiently waiting for me to work on it. My 24-year old daughter's passing last December caused a huge delay in the writing itself, but has also changed some of the storyline. Satan tried to get me to stop, but I keep going!
Thank you for making a difference in the lives of your students! Keep up the vitally important work you are doing. The country needs more brave and corageous teachers like you.
I teach history ( also hand tool woodworking) one day a week, at a homeschool academy. We have 53 middle schoolers. Not sure on the number of our high schoolers. We teach and give them their work for the week and they come back the next week with their work. I am teaching modern history this year 1790-1950. So much fun! And I love middleschoolers!!
I love the rise of homeschool academies! I think they give courage to people who would like to homeschool their children but may not be confident enough to take the leap, or who worry about the old "unsocialized" trope.
When my daughter was homeschooled (for middle school and high school) and people asked about the socialization, I told them that once a week I would make her eat lunch really fast and talk about her behind her back, and that pretty much took care of it.
I wasn't homeschooled, but I was an only child raised on a mountaintop without a television, and educated in small, private, Christian schools that were about an hour from our house. My parents said moved there when I was three because they said that they wanted to make sure they were the biggest influences in my life. It was the early 70s and society was in turmoil, much like today.
My mother made sure that I had ballet lessons, vacation bible school, and time with friends. My father made sure that we traveled the world, even if it meant taking me out of school to do so. They would just take my work with us and I would do it on the planes or in the hotels. I was never with kids as much as I was with adults and I really liked it that way. As a child, I was never a big fan of other children, they mostly seemed unserious and a little feral to me. I came home from my first day of kindergarten absolutely appalled to tell my mother that some of the other kids colored in their reading books.
Despite my unusual upbringing (actually, probably because of it) I never had growing pains, I never was in a social situation where I didn't have the confidence to interact with anyone and everyone, I was never afraid to tackle a new life skill, and I never had a problem getting through a job interview. Today's kids who go to "regular" schools every day end up with many fewer social skills, in my opinion.
You are absolutely correct! I teach Sunday school 4th and 5th graders...most are home schooled or attend Christian private schools. The public school students are more fearful, less inclined to express themselves as Christians, more likely to go along with whatever is happening rather than be themselves, and lack grade level reading skills. It's not a small difference... And, it is far more obvious than ever.
That is an amazing retort, I will have to save it for future use π
Yeah the socialization nonsense galls me too. What does that even mean? Like homeschool kids get no social interaction?? Plus the kids actually donβt have that much opportunity to socialize in school, so many contexts where talking isnβt allowed! And when it is, there can be so much inanity and viciousness π
Look for a "Classical Curriculum" group in your area. Look first at any PCA congregation near you, as our parents are very likely to support and host that curricula. It is offered for grades 1 thru 12, and is very "old school" comprehensive.
I visited a coschool that was billed as having a classical curriculum. I liked the concept, but decided that particular school was not for us when I talked to the director about masks and she basically said they followed the βlawβ and trusted the βexpertsβ like the epidemiologist on their board of directors who said masks were useful. They had just bragged about how they taught students to be independent thinkers and to expect to be persecuted for not following the crowd. I told her it didnβt seem like they practiced what they preached. She gave me a tight smile accompanied by βI can tell youβre very passionate about this issueβ, said in a condescendingly dismissive tome. I decided then that I didnβt want my son going to a school whose leaders didnβt have the courage of their convictions.
Kudos to you! I homeschooled for 5 years and then taught in a small Christian classical school. We read literature across the history curriculum--really brought the history to life. I also taught middle school (6th grade) and loved it! Youβre doing a great service. Every time I feel like our kids are hopeless, I remind myself there are people out there like you and the kids you are teaching. God is gonna use those kids youβre teaching to change our country for the better. I just know it!
Wow, you have a gift. I taught Sunday school for many years, and for several years agreed to do the middle school class. Let's just say it gave me a deep appreciation for people who teach for a living.
The people who jump bandwagons are more dangerous than the sheep, IMO. The sheep are mostly fools, some simply uneducated and the rest willfully blind. But leaders who jump to the latest bandwagon know exactly what they are doing to deceive others. At least they expose themselves for having no real backbone.
Of course, it is always possible that this person and others could have seen the light. One can only hope.
I started seeing words like βbaselessβ in the 2020 election run-up. IMHO the word βbaselessβ is editorial in nature. I have no problem with the word βallegedβ and in fact βallegedβ is the appropriate word in many stories. But baseless?!?! Says who? Unless itβs a jury verdict why are journalists using this word so loosely and selectively now?
Right? Can you believe that liar Jens Stoltenberg (NATO Secretary General) claiming it was because NATO was encroaching on Russia? What a Putin puppet that guy is.
Yes! As well as "unprovoked invasion." These words have crept into every kind of reporting. As an example, even US Wheat, in an article about the conflict's effect on global wheat markets, called it "Russia's unprovoked invasion." There was no reason to address the cause of the conflict in an article about wheat markets; unprovoked or not had absolutely no bearing and was obviously superfluous to the story. It's glaringly obvious that there is some outside influence over all journalists making them describe things a certain way. I wish I knew where this was coming from.
Ahhh yes Amos βunprovoked invasionβ β what a play on words. Donβt even get me started β talking about the βNATO-Expansionβ line-in-the-sand promises made by the U.S. and its allies when Russia broke apartβ¦.not to mention the Bio-Weaponβs-Labs in Ukraine.
A) Global Warming didnβt sell very well β so it was renamed βClimate Changeβ
B) Racism isnβt very pretty β renamed DEI βDiversity, Equity, and Inclusionβ
C) Man, woman β upgraded to β Transgender, Gender-Neutral, Non-Binary, Agender, Pangender, Genderqueer, 2-Spirit, 3rd Gender, and All / None / or a Combination of these
The level(s) of deception β along with the constant brainwashing/programming taking place these days can be so frustrating for those who are paying attention. Ugh π
Yes, I was also thinking about "climate change"! The Red Cross made an announcement about a blood shortage, and they blamed it in part on "climate-driven disasters." What is that supposed to mean? I can't even think what events they are referring to that supposedly took so much out of the blood supply.
the tattle-tale toddler with frosting under his nose points at the even smaller kid across the room and cries "he takded the cookie! he eated it all gone! Not ME!"
It's a case of word du jur. It was in the memo. And these nedia automatons spew out the regime word salad of the day. They literally are told what key words to say. Hop from one media to another, and almost all use the same term. If anyone thinks the MSM has any independence just listen for The Word of the Day.
The most important thing I can say here is stop paying attention to, let alone psychoanalyzing, presstitutes. They are the lowest form of whores, worse than their masters, because their masters are selling their souls for $$$, and they are selling their souls for pennies. What they say about anything does not matter. Don't watch them, don't read them, don't follow them. Let then blow away in the wind like the CIA Ukie trolls here.
Says the SHERIFF: 'βThe temporary ban challenges the foundations of our constitution,β he explained, βand I take my oath seriously.β'
Here is our bulwark against tyranny: sheriff's who have the Constitution in their back pocket. It's TIME all our Governors, Attorney Generals and all sheriffs take a stand as he has. It's time Gov DeSantis take his oath to the state of FL seriously.
Catherine Austin Fitts stresses the only defense against the tyranny and fraud such as real estate grabs by nefarious means is to have a sheriff that will not allow it to even start.
I did hear a lot of chatter that the line in the sand for most sheriffs is the second amendment. We shall see.
In my rural NE Georgia County, I regularly (3-4 months) schedule time to chat, face-to-face, with our Sheriff. He, (as in any municipality) is our first line of defense to any unconstitutional tyranny. In my next meeting with him, I plan to ask if he has considered, and, is willing to deputies qualified citizens, in case things escalate.
Back in the 80's, my sheriff in Santa Clara county CA had a program to deputize "honorary sheriffs" in the community who could be called upon to assist if needed. They were issued IDs and deputy badges in a wallet.
I would be very interested in hearing about you doing this. What is your understanding of what can be done and your role in it, by talking to your Sheriff? Any tips? Anecdotes?
Union, Fannin, or Towns? You might ask him, as I did ours, if he's heard any scuttlebutt about resettling "refugees" up in these mountains. Certain of our county commissioners might be capable of saying "yes" to Mayorkas; you may know of whom I speak.
Glad your underwriter took you seriously. Look at what the maroons did to several Canadian churches ... and found NO SLAVE GRAVES, as rational people predicted.
Another case study of a hero Sheriff, and also how they try to undermine that Sheriff:
LA Lawmakers Move to Strip Sheriff of COVID Vaccine Mandate Enforcement
The Hill reported:
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday decided that Sheriff Alex Villanueva would no longer be responsible for enforcing COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
The decision came after Villanueva refused to fire unvaccinated deputies who did not comply with the mandate. As a result, the board requested a draft of the new enforcement policies be provided by next month. Those policies will allow the personnel director to place enforcement responsibilities in the hands of someone who complies with the mandate, the newspaper reported.
In a statement on Tuesday, the sheriff framed the decision as a push to fire 4,000 unvaccinated people from his department. βThis is nothing more than another politically motivated stunt by the Board, which has no bearing on public health, but will definitely harm public safety,β his statement said.
Feb 2022
Los Angeles County Sheriff says heβll refuse to enforce vaccine passport mandate
"My oath of office states, βI, Bradley D. Rogers, do solemnly affirm that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America and the Constitution of the State of Indiana, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge the duties of the office of Sheriff of Elkhart County, Indiana, according to the law, and to the best of my ability, so help me God.β
This oath stems from Article VI, Section 3 of the United States Constitution, requiring all public servants to take this or a similar oath. So, if you are a public servant, such as a sheriff, judges, mayors, county/city councilman, chief of police, auditor, treasurer, state representative, senator, congressman, or the president of the United States, you are required to take the oath of office. As we approach an election season, the importance of the oath of office would be a good topic to vet on any local candidate.
Nowhere in that oath does it say I will write speeding tickets, keep a jail, arrest bad guys, and investigate crimes or respond to traffic crashes. Sure, those are all duties outlined in state law for the sheriff and his deputies as we serve and protect. But, the oath is the most important element that all public servants should remember, particularly when societal trends seem to be setting up government officials to do otherwise.
There is a misconception among some law enforcement officers and the public that officers are just here to enforce the laws. In other words, there is a general expectation that we officers are supposed to check-our-mind-at-the-door and enforce any law regardless how unjust, oppressive or clearly unconstitutional a law is. This is not accurate. Nowhere in this oath does it require any law enforcement officer to enforce all laws.
This oath is meant to provide a βchecks and balanceβ in our system of government. Our founding fathers knew there would be people who make mistakes, maybe even evil men, who would attempt to usurp the Constitution. When every public servant takes a solemn oath, then our Constitution has built-in safe guards at all levels, not just at the legislative and judicial levels.
In fact, the officers today have a great deal of discretion on enforcing laws. For example, officers enforce traffic laws daily. However, officers often give warnings, rather than a citation. In other words, an officer chooses not to enforce the law by not βarrestingβ someone. The action can still be beneficial to the community, by bringing attention to traffic safety. If all laws must be enforced without discretion, officers would never be able to give warnings and officers would not be able to make decisions that would divert persons from the criminal justice system. For example, an officer may choose to take a person home that was found in a state of public intoxication but not causing any trouble. There is no contempt of the law in either of these examples.
Sheriff arrested for escorting woman out to her family. Here is what happened when a Sheriff helped a man bring his mother out of a nursing home where she was kept without family visitation against her will by an appointed guardian.
I hear people admonishing others not to get the death jabs, because they are risky, untested, have killed and maimed many, and cause clots the size of an anaconda. This kind of public service message is followed by something like: "The 'vaccines' are not recommended unless you are over 65 or have serious health conditions." What??? "If anyone should die or be permanently disabled, it should be seniors." Look, I'm one of those who apparently should take the death jab and start my collection of spike proteins, but there's no way I would ever take this vaccine or any other. Why would these shots even be mentioned to a vulnerable population such as mine?
And theyβre doing this to our children in plain sight. My children are adults and I begged them not to get the shots and I explained why. Two got the first series- for me, one got the first shot to keep his job before the mandate was dropped and one got no shots. Iβm 70 and itβs heartbreaking to be healthier than my 29 year old daughter.

β Patriots Unite & Push event is SUNDAY the 17th, not Saturday the 17th
The GOP should send media a letter stating that if they report on the impeachment hearings as the Biden administration asks them to they will treat the newscasts as in-kind political contributions that violate campaign finance restrictions. Valued at the same rate advertising on the networks and in the papers cost for same time and placement.
As for NM Gov Lujan, she once said we should all mask and social distance "forever." And if you diligently obey then living under authoritarianism will be your "reward." And that New Mexico is a "national leader" leading the way to authoritarianism. I think she believes herself.
For real. She said these things in her August 6, 2020 Facebook Live Covid Update. Tyrants gonna tyrant. It's a hellofa drug.
https://freedomfox.substack.com/p/pepperidge-fox-remembers
NM voters vote this tyrant in? If it was a fair and secure election, then they got the Governor they deserve.
"If" is the operative word.
But I suspect they did vote for her, though probably not by as much as she won. In China's early 2020 editorials and commentary in Asia Times, Global Times and their other English-language official media they pushed back on Trump's travel ban. When Trump was described by his opponents as "xenophobic" for issuing them, because travel bans were known to be ineffective at stopping the spread of pandemic influenza. Which was and remains true, they didn't work anywhere in the world.
And China said what ALL pre-2020 global pandemic planning guides said: that because travel bans are ineffective imposing them is a political act, not based in medical science. They were social and political science. To be met with a social and political science response, var. behavioral science, aka The Science of the pandemic. Was when a medical science-based pandemic response was kicked to the curb. The travel ban was an escalation in adversarial relations, along the path to embargoes.
And China said that if the US (Trump) wanted to stick with the travel ban then it would provide the world with an opportunity to see the differences between the governing systems: Collectivist Authoritarianism vs. Individualist Democracy. The editorials and commentary went on to say that while Individualist Democracy is more innovative and creative that in times of crisis that people prefer the "firm hand of authoritarianism" to guide them through emergencies.
Their words. And they were right. They understood human psychology, the psychology of fear. Which is why NM voters and so many voters in the most authoritarian states reelected their leaders. The more fear they fed in their states the more people wanted authoritarianism.
China's official media editorials also counseled that a time of crisis isn't the time to change your governing systems. That altering the ordinary relationships that people have with their government and society in the middle of a crisis leads to division within a nation, leading to a worse overall outcome. A sort of "dance with the one who brung ya" advice to get through a crisis. Saving changes in governing systems for times when societal stresses won't be as magnified.
True story. This is what China, the CCP's approved mouthpieces said in early 2020. And guess what? Our adversary was right. They even told us in March, 2020 that antivirals (like Ivermectin and HCQ?) were proving to be effective at protecting from severe outcomes! More truth! From our adversary. Sometimes foes will tell you truths that friends won't. It's why it's good to listen to what your adversaries are telling you, in addtion to what your friends say.
Yes, Trump's ill-conceived decision to ban travel was a blemish on his record.
You can take it to the bank that like so many other electionsβ¦she was installedβ¦not elected.
The NWO tyrants are in place.
They have only begun their assault on the Constitution and their attempts to turn it into confetti.
And....the residents of Duckville are oblivious.
I know Trump won every State in 2020!!!
Except that no one, even a short-sighted fool, deserves to be governed (of all things! babysat ... maybe; waited on in a fast food place ... maybe; but governed?!) by such a person.
The world according to Karen.
Great posting and well worth a read!
She has to go! Did you hear Iowa Governor? She is amazing! I loved her Speech! I was shouting Yes! Yes!
Do you have a link to her speech? Thanks ~
When the words are all the same itβs not news, but advertising.
Good one!
Now that's what I'm talking about!
And, given the high level of coordination and collusion, any decent state or local AG should be able to bring a large RICO case. Anyone in the media, and their lawyers, who participates in the racketeering will be hauled into criminal court, with all the associated legal fees. I wonder how long it would take to process those many thousands of defendants? They'll need a really big jug of fingerprint ink, and I doubt any of them will create as effective a mugshot as did Trump.
Eerily similar to the govt coordination with the social media companies. And tax money goes to media, so it seems to me a clear relationship and implied threat (of loss of income stream) is there that negates the free press protections.
Let it be so! Would solve alot of problems and improve our society instantly
Heck to the ya!
I have to say, ALL of this depends on your lens. My lens says that this is just more theatre-ESPECIALLY if CNN is jumping on the bandwagon and it's already "leaked" that the fed govt is pushing media to lie. It's more extreme rhetoric, more fighting, that has no teeth and goes nowhere. And if we are seeing it and hearing about it, it's not real. The real stuff goes on in deep background and we will NEVER hear of any of it.
The whole point of it is to get caught up in it. None of it is real.
AL, great reminder. The theatrics keep us distracted. The question then becomes, what are we being distracted from????
Ha-we'll never know. It also keep this ruse alive that government "works." Good people get together and the wheels turn, elections are fair and happen in real time and justice lives. We're so caught up in the drama we don't even think that it's all for show.
Perfect! Navigating the FEC is always a treat.
So nailed it.
Why don't we put them in jail for insurrection?
Only jail big enough is Antarctica.
But it would pollute the entire continent π¬
Iβd be ok with sending them all to Antarctica π¬
Get those media entities with a βDisinformationβ no bail sentence.
Insurrection via print media! π

βBehold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves. But beware of men, for they will hand you over to the courts and scourge you in their synagogues; and you will even be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles. But when they hand you over, do not worry about how or what you are to say; for it will be given you in that hour what you are to say. For it is not you who speak, but it is the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.β
β Matthew 10:16-20 NASB1995
He didn't tell us it was going to be easy, did He?
And He even said they would hate us, because they hated Him first. So we shouldnβt be surprised at their hatred and malicious actions, yet I am, more often than not. Itβs a hard thing to be hated, it seems.
Yes we actually were warned as one might deduce from the experience of The Apostles... But you know, everyone today WANTS to be an Apostle and do greater works!
Do ppl even READ their Bible thru with the eye of a critical THINKING Berean?! Nope!
Too many βprophetsβ seeking profits. Not enough true disciples.
RJ it would seem you meant disciple. We canβt be one of the Apostles. That ship sailed.
Exactly! But too many dont know that!!
I did read a discussion of the Hebrew word that has always been translated as "disciple", and the meaning was something like "student".
I think you mean disciple not apostle.
Nope. I think you are perhaps ignorant about the New Apostolic movement. Beware!!
Well He did say His yoke is easy and His burden is light. But maybe "easy" doesn't mean what we think it means.
He did indeed say that. The religious leaders of the day placed heavy burdens on the people - tithes of all sorts of things including herbs. Rules that had to be followed - like how far they could journey on the Sabbath. They paraded around in finery and loved to be seen standing on the street corners praying. Christ described them as whitewashed tombs full of corruption. Compared to following Him, the burdens they inflicted on people indeed made them "weary and heavy laden".
The difference is between our walk in the world and His yoke or burden. The psalms of David are particularly instructive of this, such as Psalm 23:
Yoke: The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want... Walk: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death... You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies...
David was well acquainted with adversities and enemies in life as well as the loving protection and guidance of the Lord's yoke which is never heavy but full of Grace. Thus Christ tells us, "I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves. But beware of men..."
The grace of God is sufficient for all of life and guides us to salvation.
It's Jesus' yoke of teachings that is the light burden compared to what the religious leaders were teaching. But Jesus did say: "in this world you will have trouble; take heart, for I have overcome the world." It is not Jesus doing bad things to us, but rather the sins of men causing havoc, just a Jeff woes about every day. But Jesus is gentle and lowly of heart... if we are His apprentices, so will we be.
John Mark Comer does a lovely job teaching on apprenticeship to Jesus in his podcast of the same name: John Mark Comer.
Interesting. Maybe thatβs a promise His Spirit will empower the faithful to transcend severe persecution. Reminds me of Medieval "Martyrdom of St Sebastian" paintings. Heβs portrayed with an expression of griefβlike βFather, forgive themββrather than pain and anguish. Is this a similar promise: βI have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm youβ (Luke 10:19)? Is this another: βI can do all this through Him who gives me strengthβ (Philippians 4:13)? Which passage says He will never test us beyond our ability to endure? Filled with His Spirit, what could we possibly NOT endure?
And He was right.
Shrewd as serpents... that part of the verse always stuck out at me. Shrewd as Lucifer? Times are a changing. Did you see the news about the world record Lithium deposit found on the Oregon border? Now the USA has the record battery making deposit. God is still watching out for us even though we have clowns running DC. Petrodollar is going away; dollar is losing its place as the world currency, BUT God is still watching out for us. We have to get control of our schools. Jeff Dornak has a great interview about the infiltration of a Socialist convention and what their plans are to continue teaching Marxism to the kids under the noses of their parents!!!
I believe one of the many reasons behind the fires is because of the minerals like Lithium. Where ever there are volcanic deposits, there is a rich cache of mineral deposits like Lithium.
Thereβs always a reason behind what evil does. Never let a good crisis go to waste has so many more implications then we think.
Where will they get the children to mine it for fifty cents a day, as it is happening everywhere it is being mined?
they are coming across the border every day
Was thinking the same thing, but theyβre to busy being raped or already working in factories, oh wait, theyβre still coming across the border. No worries. π‘
What factories? In America?
I read about it months ago, it think here in the comments.
Migrant children work in fields, why not in factories? Itβs not that far a stretch.
I hope you know Iβm being sarcastic.
Weβd probably have to dig deep but thereβs proof out there.
The book The Slave Next Door whose author I canβt remember will illuminate but some of the realities of slave labor in the US. Perhaps not kids in factories, but you will get the idea.
Slave labor baby. Prison labor right here in the good olβ US of A. Not enough population out there to enforce any clean-up either once they dig up the βholeβ place. Dream come true for corporations.
My thoughts too!
DDad, Thanks! I had no idea! Here is your receipt: https://www.extremetech.com/energy/worlds-largest-lithium-deposit-found-along-nevada-oregon-border
I lose interest in anything written as having happened "millions of years ago." Is it just me, or have I just not yet opened my mind to the possibility that anyone knows what happened "millions of years ago."
Carry on.
Exactly what Iβve been saying. Who was here? How do we prove it? I believe even carbon dating is only reliable up to 20,000 years. IMO, thatβs a stretch also. Okay, I have a biased opinion; Iβm a Creationist.
Me, too!
Carbon dating has been proven to be very inaccurate.
There are lots of us Old Earth Creationists. Check out Hugh Ross PhD and his site reasons.org
Heard him speak at UF many years ago. It was for a Veritas conference. The group of speakers were all exceptional!
I'll write more on that later. I'm off to an appt. Blessings!
Just read this about the Lithium after you pointed it out. Coincidentally or not, in our paper today, Biden wants to impose royalties on hard minerals like gold and copper. Just in time for a huge lithium find?
I paraphrase βItβs to help the American people, they should get their fair share of profits from mining on Federal landsβ ya right. So we can send the money to Ukraine?
The Sheldon National Refuge is down in that corner, as are tribal lands. Not sure how this is going to pan out for lithium mining.
I don't know about lithium but it never turns out well for the People people. They always get screwed.

Mining on "Federal" lands? Wasn't there something recently about no "mining" [for petroleum products"] on fed lands, which coincidentally are Indian lands? Do I err?
This article was about minerals, and minerals are all over Federal land.
Iβm not up to date on petroleum, but didnβt Bad den (typo, I think Iβll keep it) stop all or most of it?
Yes, evil has both feet in the door of public education. Victor Hanson says the end product now is mostly βignorant and arrogant.β We do need to be shrewd as serpents, but surely not in the sense of cunning, sneaky, and twisted. Shrewd as in well-informed, alert, and strategic. Itβs repulsive to peer into the mind of evil, but the better we understand it, the easier it is to out-maneuver. Reminds me of a scene in "Patton" where he's winning a tank battle, smirks, and says, "Rommel, I read your book!"
No way Oregon will allow mining in that pristine blue state.
Correction, itβs about 75 miles from Sheldon nat refuge.
This has been my go to for a few years...
But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self control, brutal, not loving good, ...lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God...Evil people and imposters will of on from bad to worse deceiving and being deceived. But as for you, continue in what you have learned and firmly believed, knowing from whom you have learned it and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings. which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 2 Timothy 3
Yes, we saw the perfect example of this yesterday, in the Dem running for office in Virginia who was broadcasting live sex shows for money π€¦π»ββοΈ but is now accusing Republicans of βrevenge pornβ because they publicized it. Now itβs her opponentsβ fault?? Insane.
And He will allow them to pursue their deviant behaviors and desires much to their detriment. The gate is narrow.
That reminds me of another Scripture that speaks of our culture today.
Romans 1:28,32 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done....Thought they know God's righteous decree...they not only do them, but give hearty approval to those who practice them.
Exactly.
Stop it with the "Insane" x ever day! And "unbelievable"! It doesn't mean anything anymore. π
Perfect Word!!! We have been βharmless as dovesβ, but we failed at being βwise as serpentsβ. I hope itβs not too little too late.
Doves arenβt harmless. I raise them and they will kill each other, but poetry wins over fact.
π€£ chickens are canabals too!
The word referencing doves is actually translated as "innocent" (NASB) and also means simple, unsophisticated, sincere, blameless (Greek lexicon). Reminds me of this verse (and others) where we are instructed to be above reproach: "sound in speech which is beyond reproach, so that the opponent will be put to shame, having nothing bad to say about us." (Titus 2:8) In demonstrating righteous anger, we can be innocent, sincere, and blameless, but not necessarily harmless.
Beautiful encouraging words that are so true and needed right now! God bless you Janice!
I recently purchased a "Tony Evans Study Bible."
I'm now getting SO much more context, value, and meaning from the content I'm reading. (I didn't even know such a thing existed!)
Try THE NAKED BIBLE by Mauro Biglino if you REALLY want more "context and meaning". Biglino does a monumental job going back into the early Hebrew and Greek languages to show how the Good Book has been mis-translated for centuries. Get ready to have your faith CHALLENGED if you've got the courage.
I wouldnβt say mistranslated. The original translations are more like the milk that Paul spoke of and getting deeper into the Greek and Hebrew reveals the complexity of what was written and why a lifetime spent in the Book wonβt reveal all the treasures. That doesnβt mean we shouldnβt try! The Holy Spirit provides encouragement and hope through the revelations we receive as we study. Be encouraged Saints!!!
Seriously, you need to READ Biglino's book, if one believes in a HOLY SPIRIT, one can only come to the conclusion that this constructive force directed Biglino to do his research. Very few would ever go to the length this man has to elucidate (as in EXPOSE) how misguided we ALL have been by the so called 'Good Book'. Any REAL SEEKER OF TRUTH needs to at least see what Biglino has found and then reconstruct their faith if possible. I've read few books that have shaken my world so completely.
Interesting. Are you a follower of Jesus?
I've heard of deconstruction of faith.
Thanks Ms Roberts but NO i"m not a follower of the Jesus man and havent been for 40 yrs...I've investigated many religions and paths to find what I know today. The information in the typical Bible is not correct at all.....that's why I recommended THE NAKED BIBLE so people can find out what lies theyve been fed for years and years. The book is written by Mauro Biglino and if you're courageous enough to find out what he discovered, your world will change.
Your description alone just makes me more suspicious. If everyone who disagrees with him is not a "REAL SEEKER OF TRUTH", it rings bells of "anyone who doesn't get the COVID jab is LITERALLY KILLING GRANNY"...
You'd ONLY know what I was talking about IF YOU HAD READ THE NAKED BIBLE. His book is not about destroying the belief systems many people have but he offers an explanation from delving into the ancient tests via the original Hebrew and Greek translations and how a book that has been revered for centuries has been giving us the wrong message. After reading his translations of original wording you will read your own bible with new eyes.......ALIENS have been with us almost forever and they are worded in the bible as "angels"....LOL. Did you know that the original records of the "Bible" don't even mention the name GOD?
You have to be extremely careful how you gauge a book that makes such claims. Good grief! I am stunned!
According to his opinion and "study," of Ezekiel 20:25 God required, REQUIRED the sacrifice of Israelite children, before "He changed His mind" and altered it to animals! It is easy to be deceived these days. Get in the Word. False teachers abound! To know Him is to know how easy it is to be deceived....
I have been reading Dennis Prager's "Rational Bible" series. He has put out 3 books: Genesis, Exodus and Deuteronomy. He goes through each one with a LOT of rational explanation, including discussion of the WHYS of what God said and why he said it at that point in time. In general, God was dealing with terrible human behavior and he approached it gradually....the idol worshipers induged in things like human sacrifice, and the next logical and rational step was to change that to animal sacrifice. The Rational Bible series is fascinating from a Christian understand point of view. We must remember that the Old Testament Bible relates things from a point of view of Bronze Age humans that were living 3000 years ago.
Why not read Biglino's book and then make a comment like this, then you can be critical and quoting what the bible says. I DARE you to read it. π€¨
Hit a raw nerve, I see.
I'm very discerning as to what I read about Scripture. Period.
It says a great deal about his book, when Christian Book stores don't carry it....
Dear Maggie, IF you read the book, you will CLEARLY see why christian book stores won't carry THE NAKED BIBLE. Their business is selling religion, why would they stock a book that dilutes the basis of their business. Once again, I DARE you to buy a copy of his book and take a chance. Lots of us are learning to leave the herd these days, now here's your chance.
Biglino is fascinating. Everyone should watch this video....in Italian (which I love listening to) but it has English subtitles.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_gfvZ1DN0Y
Interesting, but his claims seem quite far-fetched and incompatible with orthodox Christianity.
YOU havent read his book or you wouldnt be saying he is far-fetched. Don't be lazy, read what he says, GET his book. A rational person will not deny what he has found in the bad translations of the ancient scripts over the years......You can do research to verify what he has found has been deleted, amended or repurposed to serve a political aim. You will always be in the dark about many things unless you at least see what Biglino has to say.
Yeah, my BS detector is twigging like crazy now. As another commenter said, why would I spend money on a book that already shows major signs of being rubbish, especially when you don't seem to be giving any clear details on what exactly it explains, and subtly insulting those who disagree with you. Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
Thanks CMCM, Biglino has blown the lid off of everything we used to think was sacred.
I didn't mean to "ignite" anything with my comment about the study bible. :-)
I do love this publication ... it is beautifully done on multiple levels.
That said, I'm not trying to "sell it" to anyone else ... there are so many great helpful guides out there.
IMHO, we need to be careful of attacking every well-intentioned endeavor.
In the last several years, I've watched as people who started as White Hats, or Truth Warriors, ended up either attacked, or fallen to poor choices. Just to name a few:
- Dr Gold - America's Front Line Doctors, evidently used money from the 501c3 for personal gain
- Dr Malone suing the Breggins for $25M over a concept and perceived slight
- Dr Reiner Fuellmich's covid commission falling apart over $$$ accusations
- more recently, Leslie Manookan of Health Freedom and the $$ fight with Josh/US Freedom Flyers
I could go on, and I don't know all of the particulars of the above (don't care too at this point.)
The conclusion I've come to is that we are indeed a "fallen" species. Each of us needs to avoid arrogance/pride at all costs, and embrace humility whenever possible. Many people are fighting a global evil that has managed to reach epic proportions ... hopefully we can try to not tear each other "a new one" in the process of fighting this evil. :-)
Very well articulated. It is a broken world and it's full of hardened hearts. I used to have one. I recall the movies I saw as a young man and it makes me cringe. It slowly boiled my heart into a selfish narcissistic existence that I see reflected in others today. Each time I drive my car and get a bumper sucker on my tail that wants to go faster and faster and faster because I'm in their way and they're more important than me.
I still struggle with my lack of charity to those less fortunate and see us, as a people, travelling into a world that resembles the life portrayed in The Hunger Games than that shared in Star Trek. I do hope I'm wrong and know that it's up to the USA to stay free and fight for liberty, lest we fall into socialism and communism and the majority become chattel like times of yore.
Yes, and these people would not be knocked off their pedestals unless we had already put them on one. Many talk about wanting individual liberty but then put the onus on a worldly 'savior' to get us there. The onus is on all of us to seek the truth, share the truth, and be the change we want to see, while also recognizing that we don't have to agree with each other on everything in order to work to accomplish great things.
We in my county are in the midst of trying to recall a county executive who is responsible for a property tax reassessment debacle. I spent a big part of 2022 working for his opponent but he was an incumbent who also happened to be a member of the MLB Hall of Fame and name recognition put him over the top. Many who are now part of the recall team not only voted for him but are also D's whose views on many of the issues are (or were) at odds with those of us who launched the effort. We are trying very hard to welcome them and not get sucked into polarizing messaging. "Honesty and accountability" as our stated goal, and not "get this corrupt Democrat out of office". And in the course of one on one discussions, some are coming around to see that the rot is not just at the county level. Who knows if we will be successful, but baby steps....
THE Tony Evans who invited Beto to the pulpit in his church to espouse his virtuous garbage to a filled house? I loved Tony Evans. That made me cringe...
I absolutely love Tony Evans and his daughter, Priscilla Shirer!
Erick Erickson is a PCA member and a political writer / commentator. He is not a Trump supporter but he also is no admirer of the Romneys in the GOP. Here's a link to his current column, which struck me as remarkably on target: https://ewerickson.substack.com/p/faith-and-politics-at-a-crossroad
Meh, reminds me of the story of the guy in the flood who gets on his roof and prays to God to save him. God sends a boat, a helicopter, etc, The guy says no, I have faith in God. Drowns and dies, and asks God, why didn't you save me? I have way too many friends like the guy on the roof. The reason we got here in the first place was inattention and unwillingness to push back. I agree with Erick we don't need a POLITICAL savior, but we also need to get off our knees and get to work fixing the problems. If we are to reflect Christ, we should then also recognize that he flipped the bird to the establishment of his time, exposing them for what they were. And, he spent time in reflection and prayer. We need an all of the above strategy. Being nice is why we are where we are now. Just my humble opinion.
I like your humble opinion. Itβs humbling to know God can do everything by Himself. He doesn't need us. We're lucky He wants us. Itβs humbling and empowering to know He expects us to work with Him. Weβre in serious trouble if Heβs waiting for us to βGo and make disciples, baptize and teach them to do everything I told you to do.β (Matthew 28:19-20). Our country has failed that assignment miserably in the last 50 years, and we have a lot of catching up to do.
And he used imperfect people. Moses protested that he was not a good speaker. Jeremiah protested that he was too young. Peter denied Christ 3 times and was called 'Satan' for thinking as man thinks instead of how God thinks. And so on. The bible is full of stories of God working through imperfect people. And yet, people quit going to churches as they find too much fault with the people in them. Last I checked, Jesus was not pastor of any of them. Yes, we as Christians need to do better, but people also need to recognize that God can work through all of us regardless of our faults.
Excellent points. God works through imperfect people because those are the only boots on the ground. My son in law says our best ability is availability. So, Dear Lord, we kneel humbly before You. Please use us to glorify Your holy name, and all praise to You for fulfilling Your perfect plan through imperfect us.
How did Ladapo emerge from ultra-woke Harvard in such fine form? He is a true light in the murk, and I hope other surgeon generals will take heed!
I bet Dr Ladapo has watched this searing indictment by Dr Martin of the WHO, Gates, Baric, Fauci and other genocidal players. He lays it out crystal clear.
The world has maniacs trying to call the shots.

I just read this excellent comment on Mark Crispin Miller's substack today...
Allen
17 mins ago
I got into it with a scumbag Ivy League Econ professor just yesterday. I had sent a note to about 100 people praising Djoker's victory at the US Open saying among other things,
"Whether you follow tennis or not and whether you root for Djokovic or not this is a victory for those who stood up for their beliefs (and can think critically) in the face of medical tyranny and collective insanity."
I included a lot of people who actively went along with the Covid Con- he was one of them.
Part of his respones was- "Three years is a long time, perhaps it is time to let it go."
I followed up with:
"Three years lost to the development of a child can represent a lifetime lost.
If you abandon your principles for the sake of social acceptance, they are not your principles. Theyβre your costume. Not having any principles to begin with makes that easier.
But sure, let's just write off the single largest medical genocide in human history as a minor bump in the road. Nazi concentration camp guards had to look over their shoulders for 70 years after WW II ended.
How is collusion and criminal conspiracy between the USG, big pharma, big tech, the medical industrial complex and big media any different?
Many social structures have been fractured or decimated in the past three and a half years- none of this is accidental. This was done with malicious intent. Families have literally been torn apart in many instances.
They lied every step of the way, coercing individuals to inject themselves with a toxic poison produced by serial felons.
And the crooks involved lined their pockets with billions. A person with principles knows it is unjust to move on until we have properly dealt with this. Our children and grandchildren deserve it.
Thousands of academic gauleiters such as yourself aided and abetted this destruction- they are also guilty and should be dealt with mercilessly.
I watched as the students were getting repeatedly ill from the injections- virtually all of them. I spoke openly and repeatedly with virtually all of them and of the 400+ students hardly a single one of them wanted to get the injection.
They were blackmailed and coerced by the university into "complying." Couldn't get their school work, locked out of dorms, kicked off campus etc., if they refused the shot. For international students this meant deportation.
That's not compliance- that's force. Cornell needle raped these students.
You not only stood by, you and everyone who actively participated and/or remained silent aided and abetted this.
Card-carrying members of the βeducatedβ classes, like yourself, who have a warped sense of purpose beyond the dull, aimless wanderings of Academia are today's βGood German.β They will always throw people into the gas chambers in a heartbeat when push comes to shove- do not doubt that for a second.
Bravo!
@Maggie this is why I hate to miss any comments here! Some days I canβt make it all the way through, but when I see a comment like this, it reminds me to at least try. There is so much gold to be mined!
Absolutely! We are *so* fortunate ~
Same here!
Outstanding Response!!!
That was amazing!!!! πππ
A stunning response. Copied to my Notes for further reflection and reference.
Facts. Exceptionally well done.
Dr. Martin speaks truth. Thanks for posting this!
Itβs very telling how the mainstream totally ignores him.
For the same reason that a handful of conservatives still survive at all the woke institutions, and that a goodly number of us didn't succumb to the pandemic scare-a-thon, we are resistant to the brainwashing, but can blend in well enough that we go undetected :)
My sense is that these universities jumped the shark at particular moments. SF State still taught critical thinking in Spring 2005, had great literature and writing and philosophy professors. But as they died or retired, they were replaced by woke people, all vaccinated with some huge number of vaccines, and raised on phones, social media, and the internet. University of Iowa Writer's Workshop went from brilliant to making everyone identify their gender around 2016. I don't know about Gainesville. William Logan is the warlord of that workshop and would make even the hilarious Jeff Childers ("oh the humanity" rotfl) crawl on his belly in humility and deference. But even such a judgemental elitist as he certainly beats a woke instructor forcing everyone to read the zombie eyed Robin D'Angelo's WEF inspired books on white privilege and white tears. Dark Horse had a segment on how libraries are now removing books from before 2008 as they are irrelevant. So farewell Hamlet. "Angels and ministers of grace defend us"!!!
My own library system in St Johns county is awful. I can never find the kind of books I like on conspiracy issues etc.....I am forced to buy my own online. The system here in St Johns censures everything that comes their way for political correctness and so called "relevance". I check their dumpster for the types of books that are considered "out of date or relevance"....LOL. LIbraries aren't like they used to be 30 yrs ago.
I have wondered this myself.
The fact that heβs still recommending it for over 65 / high risk is still akin to murder. Not impressed.
HOW in the world do we have 2 Originalists on the Supreme Court??? The Marxists HATE it that any jurists or law students can escape their tentacles. Look up every Law School, every Legal Association or group (with a very few Christian based exceptions), ALL are involved in DEI propagation, dismantling traditional Americanism, decency and restraint and savagely gorging on its carcass while extolling the process and their role in it. Putting the FUN into the Fundamental Transformation of America into the Marxist Utopia it should have always been.
Thereβs an interesting conspiracy theory afoot around the originalist shift on the Supreme Court. The Constitution isnβt dead yet. As hoped, itβs been inevitable that challenges to the likes of Roe v Wade, DACA, the Administrative Procedures Act, and βDecorate Me a Cake You Homophobeβ would keep pounding on the Supreme Court doors. So, if you like chaos, seat a conservative-leaning majority on the SC, get some βprecedentsβ overturned, scream βDemocracy is under attack!β from every microphone, unleash the goon squads, and then broadcast the blood and chaos live from the astroturf. Chaos feeds the Beast. Doesnβt matter who gets blamed for it. But let βem howl and capitalize on the chaos. Weβre standing up, and things are moving in the right direction.
Truth agitates and activates Evil; they must ebb and flow and yin and yang i suppose. The conservative leaners in the middle appear prone to go with the activist liberals even more than with originalists; they love the precedents and the station of the Court which is why truth advocates are generally disappointed and let down by the continual compromising they run toward and advocate so strongly for. Conservative Activist Judges there is not a single one, and I'm not sure there ever has been such a jurist confirmed or ever could be so I suppose Originalist is the best we'll ever hope for and their powers of persuasion and sanity they bring to the middlings who love their power to decide cases as much as "independent" voters do.
All truth there. We need to stop thinking of βactivistβ and βconservativeβ as mutually exclusive. Weβre useless chaff and deadwood if all we do with the sword of the Spirit is admire its shiny sharpness.
yes, impassive, impartial originalists would be by definition considerate, conservative, but also inactive and non-partisan upon their lofty perch and thus an unnoticed minor obstacle to the ACTIVIST/Leftists who're furiously chopping away at the trunk of the Tree of Liberty.
Funny how thoughts converge. Reposting part of a recent exchange with Freedom Fox: Christ said, βThe meek shall inherit the earth.β In that context, βmeekβ does not mean βsilent pushover.β It refers to something more like peace through strength, well-armed but not threatening, not hesitant but never the first to draw the sword. When it must be drawn, we should wield it until the enemy is crying for mercy or destroyed. The Powers have drawn more than enough blood to justify our adopting General Pattonβs dictum: "Nobody ever defended anything successfully. There is only attack and attack and attack some more." Add to that General McAuliffβs battle plan at the Bulge: "We are surrounded by the enemy. That means we have the greatest opportunity ever presented to an army. We can attack in any direction we choose."
Same here but I now distrust ANYONE from Harvard or Yale not to have been indoctrinated with the Skull and Bones mission . I'm very suspicious of Ladapo's walk like I do with DeSantis. Both are disguising another agenda that hasn't shown up yet. Doing a background check on Lapado, who paid for all those very expensive universities he attended? Is he another Obama in sheep's wool? I suspect there's way more to this dude than appears. DeSantis was a Skull & Bones member, look up what that 'secret student organization' is about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Skull_and_Bones_members
Oh, I would rethink Ladapo. He is hated, vehemently by woke medical "professionals" at UF (or formerly at UF who moved on to more far left institutions, if that is even possible). He was routinely ROASTED daily by those who couldn't hide their disgust for any physician who merely tickled and or trampled on their covid mantra... "I don't believe he really graduated from Harvard..." "He was probably in the lowest 10% of his class..." "He is no physician, how did he even get into Harvard?!"
It surely sounded racist to me, to listen to their vile diatribes... THE REALLY HATE HIM.
What Maggie said 100%! I am on the same campus.
Later Jay
You are brave! Thank you for being there!
Not brave just needed a job and you know how it goes around this place. They controlled the jobs and new industry for so long that it was the only game in town after I got laid off from my corporate job. I like most of the people and I have been involved in some really big and interesting projects so I soldier on. Ever heard of the CMS project at CERN? Pretty kool stuff for an old hillbilly.
Later Jay
Wait!! But arent those comments 'racist'????
It would curl your hair to hear the "renowned" speak of him so offensively!
I hate the way the racist card is played only in some circumstances but not others! Anything can be said against a person of color if they are republicans! Unbelievable and nauseating.
I agree. And I honestly think that many on the left truly are racist. They really believe that other races are inferior and need to be told what to do and how to think.
Oh, it is so obvious... the woke liberals can say whatever they wish...despite the very fact that their prejudice is showing through! They attacked his race, for heavens sake! My blood was boiling...
I think he's useful for DeSantis, gives him cover for the pandemic freedom lane he strategically chose for his path to the presidency. He didn't see any other potential candidates in it, the rest more or less went along with pandemic mandates and the fear campaign. DeSantis saw a wide lane without any company to split the vote, back when nobody else was daring to challenge the heavy hand. Even Abbott was shamed into following the DeSantis lead, Texans can't be less free than Floridians, the Lone Star republic and all.
Pre-Ladapo DeSantis only had a toe in the water of freedom in Florida. Churches were closed, beaches were closed, masks were demanded, jabs were pushed, all standard fare in Florida from April-October, 2020. DeSantis started pushing back, but didn't have many medical professionals, and none in his administration who were backing him. His presidential campaign strategy needed a Ladapo to support him.
But Ladapo found out early on that he couldn't speak and act as freely as he wanted to about the pandemic mandates. His visit with Florida legislators where Democrats demanded he mask up to visit with them in their offices that he said was dumb got him a DeSantis smackdown. He found out how long his leash was. He was told he couldn't get ahead of "the boss," his job was to make DeSantis look good, not bring him into controversies he wasn't looking for. Since then he's been much more metered in his communications. He runs them up to "the boss" for approval first.
Whether or not he's an inside player on another agenda, who knows. But he's a team player on Team DeSantis, working for The Man. And as long as he's useful to help DeSantis achieve his ambitions he'll stay there.
Thanx FF, for the info on Lapado (and DeSantis) I wasn't aware of, however I'm still wary of Lapado and his pedigree. Was much the fan of DeSantis until I started to find where some of his funding was coming from for his presidential aspirations, then the shades began to come off. DeSantis is a slickster.
My sentiments, as well. I had communications with state legislators and second hand comms out of his staff in Tallahassee in late 2020 through early 2021. And I started looking closely at the DeSantis gubernatorial campaign in late 2021 through early 2022. I even had some communications with some senior consultants on it you've probably read about in the news. They had strong DC insider pedigrees. Seemed out of place for an "outsider" campaign. Establishment R's, not MAGA. The shake up after the illegal raid on Mar-a-Lago was when the veil officially came off.
He says all the right words, he did things better in Florida than most states. But he's not the freedom hero he likes to claim he is. A whole lot of bluff and bluster, but a whole lot of vapors behind it. About that no vax passport cruises originating from Florida? Yeah. Toothless pronouncements.
But he definitely expresses a better understanding of infectious disease and Covid than Trump does to this day. Whatever he got wrong about it in 2020-2021 he's corrected. Trump has doubled down on what he got wrong. So there's that. The DC puppet who's learned from Covid mistakes? Or the DC antagonist who's not learned from Covid mistakes? We're having to pick from flawed options.
To those of us in supposedly red conservative states with RINO governors and legislators, DeSantis, despite his flaws, is a complete freedom fighter compared to what we have and what we experienced π Even in the summer of 2020, the contrast between Florida and Indiana (I was in both states that summer) was stark, and became even more so as time went on. DeSantis seems more courageous because weβre comparing him to the vast majority of other milquetoast governors who, blue or red, went along much more enthusiastically with all of the CDC protocols and didnβt push back AT ALL. So yes, we need to expect more of him, but also recognize that his relatively mild actions look like a pit bull towards the federal government, compared to the smiling tail wagging pleaser golden retriever governors most of us had.
Yes! We live in Fort Wayne and went to FL 3 times in 2020 to escape Holcscumb's flim flammery. The contrast was stark, and we met many, many people running away from Michigan, too.
Why is out government trying to kill off 65 and older and immunocompromised people? Think about that. The shot, that we know kills people, is not recommended for any one else. Is it because of the financial burden of social security and Medicare, and medical care, ignoring the fact that folks have been paying for this service their entire working lives and our government squandered that money?
Exactly. Elders and people with chronic conditions are the last who should be getting the kill shots, as they are most likely to be killed by them. They are the very definition of βuseless eaters.β
It's very frustrating. Those are the most vulnerable people, who should not be taking immunity-destroying shots.
Thank you! Iβve been saying this from the get-go! The most vulnerable are privileged to step in front of the line? My husband is 81 Sunday & Iβm 77 later this month. No way were we gonna take those shots! Best stand ever. Our internist highly recommended them but refused us (I asked for prescriptions) Hydroxychloroquine & Ivermectin. When asked why not he said he didnβt believe they work. Told him they do bc we take them as part of our prevent protocol. I changed internists, but husband still used him.
And he believed the shots work??? Based on what evidence??? βThe CDC and AMA said soβ?? π
Absolutely what I was thinking!
Immuno compromised or elderly should NOT get the poison, good for nothing shot.
Part of my reasoning exactly. A friendβs then 99yr old mother politely refused the experimental shots while living in a comfortable upscale retirement facility; staff was perplexed. Sweet lady (widow of WWII vet) said sheβd done her research; nothing showed they were safe. Sheβd lived a good life for 99 yrs. & wasnβt going to put any experimental substance in her body.
She was the only resident, staff member etc that didnβt succumb. Later a covid wave swept thru & guess who didnβt get sick???
Good for her!!! Wise lady!!
Temcol,
YES! They want to reduce the countryβs financial burden for SS and Medicare. Isnβt that sad. I believe they feel they are useless eaters as opposed to welfare recipients. π They did pay for what theyβre getting.
Them getting the shots does thin the herd. I live in a 55+ community in Florida. I dare say I wouldnβt mind if most or all the socialist or communist in their age group disappeared. A LOT of them donβt like DeSantis. And nothing makes them happy except complaining.
Reduce the 'burden' of paying SS and Medicare, and yet paying illegals who come here more than SS recipients get. And then I suppose giving them voter IDs.
Yup! Stupid plan. They think they can get away with this forever. Theyβre wrong. It will backfire on them. I donβt know how, but it will. Look at NYC. Itβs happening.
get rid of the elderly to pay for the illegals..
Seems that way, doesn't it. Older crowd also more likely to be Conservative.
Do you observe any rise in units for sale, any unusual turnover of apartments? Seems as if the 55+ places would offer valuable info on death rates.
VVV,
I agree. Most homes have 2 people. In our community there have been less sales the last few months but I donβt know how many are on the market.
Yep, get rid of the elderly and infirm, give citizenship and voting rights to the illegals. They will then be bound to pay taxes on their earnings to refill the coffers.
I think they just want to kill as many as possible, but older ones are a "burden on the system" (something I obviously disagree with) so in their minds, that's less money they have to spend on these people. Disgusting attitude. They rank up there with the Nazis wanting to exterminate various groups.
Agree completely. Someone would have to explain to me how someone who has worked their entire life and paid into the system, been a good citizen, did their fair share, now deserves to be put down because they are no longer productive? I'm just not on board with this.
Marxist Death Cult; they don't contribute sufficiently to the Revolution any longer and their best contribution is relinquishing both their wealth and their burden.
I also think they are trying to eradicate those who have seen so many of these things go down repeatedly that they are unfoolable, a bit like the immigrants from communist and socialist countries. Older people learned civics, biology, and world history, not that we liked it lol, but we learned it. Older people also know how long the corporations have had the opportunity to make wise plans to phase out and phase in environmental practices, but did freaking nothing except continue like rabid locusts, if insects get rabies lol. Now suddenly corporations are oh so Net Zero carbon footprint ecologically aware, like Bezos with his little climate hour glass with wings, after he lobbied for lockdown so small business would be destroyed.
They want to terminate with prejudice all that accumulated life experience that could be passed down to younger generations as well as get everyone off the Medicare and social security rolls. Rise up like greybearded lions I say!
yes! part of re-creating each generation or cohort into something less godly and more depraved is extinguishing the voice, legitimacy, and station of the elderly. Dishonoring them is cool, modern, and progressive yet societal and cultural suicide but many youthful brains get busy and perform atrocities for a reward and acclaim and other base and selfish reasons. Those in our gvt and institutions and corporations ARE the manifestation of fatherless (yes YOU Hunter!), disconnected, entitled lashing-out toddlers despite the appearance of adulthood and modernity and sophisticated education and "global" citizenship.
Hence the sneering βOk Boomerβ retort that was so popular for a while π
Good points, CF. Gen X college grads and many younger have no concept of the damage done to their Constitution. Woke seems normal to them. We do seem to have some 20-somethings who understand what's up, and they're not happy. May their numbers increase.
I've said from the beginning , if they'd just waited another 15-20 yrs, this deal would've gone over with ease. They got impatient cuz the old timers, like Kissinger, Schwan's and Soros, fall into that category, too.
Yes I definitely agree with your take on this.
Truly evil. And I will stand in their way and speak this truth:
What does the Bible say about the value of human life?
From its very beginning (Genesis 1:26-28), the Bible tells us that we (humans) are created in the image of God. Therefore, every person, from conception until natural death, possesses inherent dignity and immeasurable worth.
As long as we continue to stand firm and refuse to veer from this absolute truth, we can avoid untold amounts of pain and suffering and even major atrocities committed by those with evil agendas.
To the sworn Enemies of God and mankind the hated "images of God" need to be maligned, corrupted, devalued, expunged by all means avail. prostitution, slavery, addiction, indifference, apathy, hopelessness, depression, loss of purpose and value, suicide, homicide, torture, de-humanization through philosophy, classifying embryos, elderly, injured and unborn as less than worthy, pitting races and classes against each other. We are vulnerable to these anti-Gospels if we don't pursue truth and the tenants of Truth.
Real simple, real evil. All of the money paid into SS was put into General Funds, and spent. None of it, none of it, was escrowed to pay SS recipients when the time comes. So, the cabal does not have the money to pay them. Three choices. Kill them off. Print to infinity. Fess up, pay the piper, and hope the people don't lynch all of you. They chose plan 1 and plan 2, because they still won't have enough money for all they owe after killing off all of the elderly.
No one's history matters. If you're not productive (paying taxes) TODAY, and willing to be herded and watched like cattle, you have no place in the NWO. Just ask Harrari.
The elders are not a burden on the SS system bc they prepaid into it. Medical, yes if they are not healthy.
Doesnβt over 65 equal government Medicare though??? Bingo.
Believe me, I absolutely don't think they are and find the notion that anyone is useless disgusting. Rather, I think the powers that be think they are because they generally require more healthcare, e.g. Medicare, that the government pays for. And sadly, there are a lot of unhealthy people in this country.
The most unhealthy people (both physically and psychologically) in this country that I know of are all named Biden.
Those are the very ones who need the booster!
Oh now I get it! Thatβs who they mean when they said immunocompromised should get the shots! ππ¬ (But it was really the morally compromised!)
Sounds like a pay-per-view event. Popcorn franchise!
Much of it is unnecessary "healthcare" that includes endless Big pHARMa prescriptions and useless tests...
An elderly friend complained that her son was insisting she get the "new booster" and a mammogram "because it's been 15yrs since your last one!" She's 89! Her response to his demand to get the booster, "I am not getting it! I got covid after the last one and I was sick for two weeks! My PCP even told me not to get it, after she pushed all of the others! And, no flu vax for me either, don't even ask!" As for the mammogram? Her doctor said that would be fine, if they found tumor they would do a lumpectomy, and treat her.... if it looked as if she'd be around another 10 yrs... WAIT! WHAT??? What 89yr old needs that?!?
And each family with a loved one in this age group must be their advocate. The assisted care center, CNA, or any other healthcare professional should not be making medical decisions for your family member. Itβs a terrible cultural standard weβve set when we send our elderly off to a third party and hope they are well cared for.
Absolutely! Every elder needs an advocate. And if anyone, not just the elderly, has to enter the acute medical system, you need an advocate. One that has a modicum of sense and understanding of more than basic tenants. The system is over burdened with sick people and understaffed. I guess it was the plan. But the sick are at the mercy of an exhausted system.
Dr. David "Bow Tie" Martin speculated a year or more ago that 2026 was the target date for most of the slow damage to be mostly complete. He linked it to the insolvency of the so-called "entitlement" programs.
The labeling of those programs I have funded for my entire life as entitlements whereby fiscal irresponsibility and fraud by our corrupt leaders has essentially guaranteed I'll never get even half back what I paid into it, not even accounting for inflation... well that labeling really pisses me off. /rant off (for now)
I have never figured out how I paid for something, all and along, and it became an entitlement to me. Maybe someone changed the definition along the way and I didn't get the e-mail???

IL state pensioner here. If I draw my SS or that of my spouse, the amount if SS payment to me is deducted from the state pension. Our overlords called it double dipping, regardless of the fact that I contributed to SS and am entitled to that money, AND the state pension funds and SS funds are two separate fund sources (State of IL vs. Federal). π‘
That sucks! My husband retired from the Texas state police but he gets his federal SS, too. His state pension has no COLA raises, tho.
We've been enslaved by the Govt-Financial Complex for generations and the only value we have is in serving it and the aims it contrives. Once the scales dip then the valuation of human assets must be re-calibrated to bring balance.
When each of us were eligible to receive early SS payments, we signed up. Quick and simple. A few people asked us what was the difference in payment benefits from taking them early vs. waiting until full eligibility. We both said we have no idea. We never looked, never calculated. Neither of us thought we would ever get a dollar, so we wanted to get anything now vs. maybe nothing later. Also, those already on SS will in all likelihood be the last cut when the time comes. No regrets.
I feel the same about that label! But we canβt call welfare entitlements because it will hurt peopleβs feelings π
Yup. Wrote a song in the 1980's that turned out to be prescient. One line: "By the time the baby boom turns 65, they'll rather see us dead than alive . . . "
My thoughts exactly!!! The elderly are more at risk of adverse effects than any. The elders in assisted living and nursing homes vitamin D levels are probably so low as nonexistent. What they need is Vitamin D3, C, and zinc. The poor dears have no immune defense. Dr. McCrary continues to say elder and immune compromised should get the shot. That's just insane. And the masses who don't work outside need to supplement, but it's an expense they can't or won't incur.
During the plandemic a province(?) in India handed out packets containing C, D, and Ivermectin. It's impossible to distance in India - as if that's a thing. They're rates of infection were very low. If India can do it for their masses, every nation could do it. But. Wait! That would put pharma out of business.
It is unbelievable that hospitals and nursing homes do not give patients vitamin d3 and atleast 1000mg vitamin c!
Uttar Pradesh. They knocked covid deaths out!
Thought that from the start. "It's for the good of your country" has a whole new meaning now when said as a command vs a plea.
It's like "How many children have to die before we pass gun reform." Now say that sentence as threat vs a plea.
Us geezers (many of whom were educated when schools and universities still functioned as designed) need to be moved out of the way, to make room for compliant economic migrants from nations where the concept of the "individual" is meaningless. The government will buy their votes before it'll continue supporting the folks who built the current economy.
In the UK, some of our politicians and even the London Mayor, are rewriting history, declaring that the country was built by immigrants.
Well, if we go back sufficient centuries, ALL countries were built by immigrants. Where does one draw the line?
The Great Replacement Theory and/or the Cloward-Piven Theory.
Catherine Austin Fitts has made very clear a decision was taken by the cabal in 1998 to depopulate, starting with the high cost elderly, because they concluded there was no way they could ever honor all of their unfunded liabilities. If the government had to follow GAAP like all private businesses, they would all be in jail.

Rahmβs brother, correct? I remember hearing a speech he gave several years back about this topic and assumed that he was for assisted suicide for the elderly, but this article proves otherwise. Iβll have to rethink my opinion of him.
Isn't Rahm the first one who said "never let a crisis go to waste".
He may not have been the first person to say that, but he definitely did say it.
Yes, he is Rahm's brother. It is an interesting article.
most older Americans are conservative, makes sense that the woke tribe would want to get rid of them.
You read my mind! Every time I see that theyβre only recommending the jabbbbb for seniors and/or immune compromised---Iβm like, βWatttt??!!!β No one needs this poison--especially not the seniors and immune compromised! Geez!
Yes, I believe that that is exactly why they are doing it. Killing off those who are 65 and older will decrease the amount of those who should be getting that money.
and open borders..one theory the middle class here in this country don't have enough kids and think for themselves (at least some do)....those flooding our boarders are future slaves/laborers, the middle class dissolving....elites and slaves will be left
To make way for the brainwashed generation.
Good riddance, Mitt! One down and at least 6 more to go in the Senate! Burr --NC, Cassidy--LA, Collins--Maine, Murkowski--Alaska, Sasse--Nebraska and Toomey from PA.
Sasse from Nebraska is gone and good riddance. I can say that I regret voting for his RINO a$$. He is another empty suit that was filled with campaign lies. Nebraska backed his bags and sent him to Florida. Sorry Florida.....
Yea, we voted for him too. My husband still rants about the reason we voted for him in the first place was that 'he was the only one who read the entirety of Obamacare' but did he ever do anything about it? NOPE. Sorry plebs, you're stuck with ever higher costs and no options!
Romney got 47.2% of the aggregate vote from the educated and wary anti-Marxist Americans who didn't believe the slick campaigning mis and dis information about Obama being a mainstream Liberal rather than the proven Commie and palatable Jihadist in a suit.
But he lost gracefully, so he can be admired like McStain.
I always referred to him as John McShame; sure we can give the guy credit for his service and etc but to surrender to Obama over the banking "crisis" and shi- talk his VP pick and again disdain his voter base is unforgiveable. He was way cozier with Dems than conservatives so what can we conclude really? Preferring war heroes that weren't captured (and Rep. politicians that Aren't owned by Dems) i suppose would be rankling and uncouth but an attention getting comment.
Good one.
Later Jay
Yeah, what's up with the good folks in UT and that turd?
Later Jay
I really liked Sasse, for the most part. But he voted for the covid stimulus, and he became a crazed never-trumper. I can tell you now, Ricketts is NOT an improvement.
Well, Thanks a million Larry. I'll give you a week at Disney if you take him back....
Later Jay
I kept trying to figure out the game of Sasse going to FL to head up a college (university?). Methinks he is in position for RDSβ backers to fund as RDS successor. π€·ββοΈ
Still have Coryn from TX
He needs to go.... fast!!!
He's still got 3 yrs.π€¬ I wish we could recall ability. I've heard he won't run again. π€·ββοΈ
I agree with you! But we can't even get the so-called conservatives to keep things together, so how could we get Abbott recalled? There needs to be a huge house cleaning in our state!!!

Senator "I love Red Flag laws" John Cornyn - TX must go too! He will face a brutal primary fight in 2026, and when Ken Paxton emerges from his sham Impeachment trial unscathed, Cornyn will become very reluctant to show his face outside of Austin.
Will Ken Paxton emerge unscathed?
Conservative Treehouse has some very good clips from the trial if you want to see what a sham it is. Unscathed? That remains to be seen.
His lawyers are BRILLIANT! Enjoyed listing to a clip of one yesterday. Talk about a disgrace! He's being tried for having done none of the things they're trying him for... at least the way it looks to me.
Same here. Total witch hunt. Heβs being hijacked by the deep state.
Yes. It is horrible!
Burr and Tillis have announced they aren't coming back. I think Burr is done next year but Tillis has until '26.
Any thought on the speculation Romney is going to run for President as a no label candidate and take some west coast states so no candidate can meet the electoral requirements?
Run for President? Not again!!!! He said in a sweet little speech that he wouldnβt seek office again bc he would be in his mid-80βs so it was time to bow out. Thankfully!
Yay!!!!!!!!!
He could get Liz Cheney as his VP! Iβd bring popcorn!
Itβs been speculated Munchkin - I mean Mnuchin- will be vp. Bring extra popcorn please
He has made his (fear and?) loathing of President Trump crystal clear in his infamous half hour harangue of the good man.
He is a Mormon of the ilk of former (!) Senator Harry Reed... sad and embarrassing.
Mittens saw the writing on the wall and decided to cut his losses. His RINO hide is not thick enough for the skewers that are pointed at him should he raise his horned snout.
Sasse is long gone to be a Florida University President and maybe future governor.
Oh hold on JD, that is a bit of a stretch, the Gov part anyway.
Later Jay
Hi Jay. You do know heβs is the President of the University of Florida.. right? His contract is Uber lucrative with at least 3 perks arguably new in the higher ed echelons. Obviously an opinion many think he is destined for lots bigger opportunities although itβs hard to imagine a sweeter deal then the one he has.
Burr-NC is gone
Fetterneck replaced Toomey, no?
Its a great day Jeff, except where the jabs are concerned, I say, "do not recommend the bioweapon injections for anyone, wether you're 6 months or 106, no one should ever be subjected to a murderous bioweapon injection."
YES!!! THIS!!! THANK YOU!
I passionately hate, to the inner most parts of my core, when they say except if your 65 and older or have autoimmune issues. Or if you have diabetes or heart disease. Or if you are fragile in your health. Grrrr. Furthering the attempt to murder the elderly and sickly.
I will not be satisfied until they STOP using that line of BS to further manipulate people who have health issues.
No one should ever, for any reason, inject a bio weapon! Period!
And in an ultimate irony, early studies showed that immune-comprised people don't even mount a immunological response after receiving the injections!!
It is truly like they've managed to utterly disappear the prevention and early treatment protocols. Nasal spray, then repurposed drugs and nutraceuticals. And they've terrorized everyone about ivermectin. My friend bought sheep drench ivm to prevent all his adopted dogs getting heartworms, and he was utterly conflicted, knowing all the propaganda is BS, but terrified that it might be true. I think there's a clue there as to why the people still mask and test and take boosters. He's conscious of the conflict, but others probably aren't.
I guess Moderna used one hell of a placebo. yikes!
Killed my dad. π₯²
Im so sorry for your loss.
Before my dad was delivered his fatal clot shot, he was in a nursing home for management of congestive heart failure, diabetes, stasis ulcers.
Two weeks before receiving the mandated experimental injection, he was infected with c19 after a known positive case was parked in his room.
He had a low grade fever AND his blood sugars normalized, his stasis ulcers began healing, and his heart failure stabilized.
As he recovered from the infection, those conditions returned to baseline and did not worsen.
Then they gave him the shot and he died a few days later.
He died with Chinese shrapnel in him from the Korean War.
Irony anyone??
Those monsters out and out murdered your dad and that is just evil, again, Im so sorry you lost him in such a despicable way.
Why do they give the shot right after you have it? Didn't they do that with President Trump too??
I do not believe Trump took any of the shots, or Biden.
Biden offered a photo op of getting the shot. Mr. Trump did not make any such public display, I recall?
Supposedly he did as reported in the news. Didnt we also 'see' Biden take it? Perhaos they were saline?
That is just horrible and heartbreaking. Iβm so sorry. I want people to pay for what they did to so many good and decent people!!!
I am so sorry, that is awful.
Very sorry. So much needless suffering for many
I believe you! I am so very sorry. I lost my dad before all of this madness and for that I am thankful! He would have refused the nonsense!
I was helping a friend care for her elderly uncle in an assisted living facility in 2021-2022. Every single time the health dept came around with boosters most of the residents got covid. Towards the end of his life the facility announced that they would not allow the health department to return. If we had not been there to care for him he would have died in 2021. At 8k per month, his "assisted care" amounted to less than a visit a day by facility workers... he didn't eat if they didn't help him to the dining room.... he wasn't bathed unless we were there to witness it. He was hospitalized 4 times for severe bladder infections. The hospital was no better. A nurse never darkened the door most days...... the floors never mopped, the room never cleaned... bedsheets were a luxury.... and that was at the local teaching hospital.π΅βπ«ππ’
You have to stay with them!
Absolutely!!
That is disgusting!! I donβt know how these people can live with themselves, treating others this way!!
And weβre supposed to sing their praises as being βheroesβ π I will only do that for people I know tried to help patients and went above and beyond, not for those who have a particular job or work in a certain place or industry.
Iβm so sorry π I am convinced the shots caused my mom's rare turbo cancer π Too many stories like these.
So the rationale I heard for continuing to recommend it to the elderly is that they are already in their twilight years so won't have to suffer long from the side effects?! WTH?! We know the darn things don't work at all so yea, why do they continue to offer them to the elderly? And Naked Emperor (I think) has posted 2 different articles recently about how the situation in the nursing homes was much, much worse than we ever knew.
I just turned 66. I feel and act like I am 45 except for some aches and pains due to ageing spine..I guess that makes me elderly? Why would I want that damned shot???
Ditto here ... except I'm two months short of 76 ... with near-ideal BMI, BP, pulse rate, bun and creatine numbers etc etc. To a large degree and up to a point, age is more a function of your medical history and physical condition, than it is simply chronological. Said in another way, my 76 = an obese inert diabetics' 60. Oh, and for the feds who monitor these blogs: I still report income and still pay into SS and Medicare. So leave me the duck alone!
WHY do even good doctors recommend the jab for people over 65 or high-risk? Those are the people who absolutely should not get it. Why are we sacrificing those people?
Yes Jeff, Florida should study the jab harm -and start with this group.
My sisterβs cardiologist in Venice told her heβd βfireβ her as a patient if she got a booster (she kept insisting she needed). Some MDs are aware.
My sister, another story. An RN no less.
She has nine lives.
Wow. Amazing but good to hear.
Woa! Awesome!
And include the flu vax in the study.
Registering at a new doctors office with endless papers to sign which would take a lawyer and a full day to actually read, but besides the usual checking off of symptoms, past surgeries, etc...'Have you had the flu, pneumonia, tetanus/pertussis vaccines??
Too bad I couldnt check off a HELL NO on their ipad.
Good doctors? Sieg Heil. Good doctors don't recommend the jabs. It's really that simple nowadays.
Actually they are saying consult your doctor if youβre over 65 and they are sending guidance out to doctors that show true data on the shots so they are well-informed.
"During the trying wee hours of the night, while she tossed and turned, Governor Lujanβs jalapeΓ±o-tortured subconscious mind excreted an idea, a runny sort of an idea anyway, an idea that dumped into her somnolent consciousness like a plop of salsa into the middle of the sour cream bowl."

She'll be granted a prestigious IVY League position lecturing on how to properly and progressively govern an unworthy state. This is NOT Failure, rather a new opportunity to ascend the ranks of NeoMarxist power structure.
That was stomach-churn inducing. The condescension in her voice was insulting. Sounded like she was speaking to third grade students. I pray this video follows her around NM for the rest of her life.
I'm sure there's even more videos like this. She made a series of them, many are on YouTube, most are on her Facebook Live page. I haven't the time or the stomach to watch and listen to them all. But I'm sure there's even more stomach-churn inducing condescension in them. Rich material for an opposition research effort that a well-funded political opponent could expose. I just remember this one being shared when it first came out and then re-sharing it on social media, back when I was still on it.

The Yankee Marshall rightly deems Michelle Lujan guilty of treason and calls for a 20-year jail sentence:
β’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miYztD3QFW4
This is exactly what needs to begin happening to politicians who violate the Constitution. Itβs time they started suffering the legal consequences of their decisions so as to send a message to their cohorts that treason does not pay.
Brian OβShea, Naomi Wolfβs husband, has a good piece on this attempt to trample our civil liberties:
β’ https://brianoshea.substack.com/p/opinion-a-response-to-new-mexican
As I quote in my Discussion Thread: Gun Rights vs. Gun Control:
βLaws that forbid the carrying of arms ... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed one.β
βCesare Beccaria, recorded by Thomas Jefferson in his βLegal Commonplace Bookβ (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/discussion-thread-gun-rights-vs-gun/comments)
Michelle Lujan- Grisham, MLG as we lovingly refer to her was a sacrificial lamb for her party to test the waters. She is on the same level with Kamala on a brightness scale. New Mexicans are cheering at her very public disgrace.
An Emily Oster for 2023?

What you point out here was also in the NM AGβs response-->not just that the Governorβ EO was unconstitutional but that it would not have the desired effect of reducing the gun violence. So refreshing in this instance to see that there are still some logical and courageous Democrats in the nation. Take note though that they are in flyover country, not DC or some coastal city.
They drink the same Kool Aide but perhaps less poison mixed in
This appears to be an attempt by the Governor to provoke an insurrection. One could reasonably expect this in response to the clear and naked attempt to deny the natural rights of a population under color of authority.
I say her opponents DEMAND she provide evidence that the violence requires her executive intervention and then that she properly and lawfully activate the Natl Guard into Albuquerque and Bern. County to gain control against the "insurrection" led by criminal gang activity since that's the logical conclusion and process. Soft-pedalling her personal tastes in dictatorship didn't fly.
So excited to tell my students the good news about New Mexico!! I waxed on about what happened..along with an update on Missouri vs Biden case. I told them they are the future and they will have to fight to keep the freedoms that we have. ...that I am not the future , they are.
I'm writing a Christian adventure book for this age group where they'll see they have to be the heroes.
Yeah!! Can't wait to see it.
I had to remind them that taking the stand means they could lose family, friends, jobs, homes etc. It has a price. They were shocked when I told them about the teachers who would get back pay from losing their jobs. But again those teachers experienced loss first, before the reward/ compensation
Thanks, I'm hoping to finish the writing by the end of the year, then next year to edit and get it out. It will probably be digital only on Amazon, but God may have more extraordinary plans. He's the one who is patiently waiting for me to work on it. My 24-year old daughter's passing last December caused a huge delay in the writing itself, but has also changed some of the storyline. Satan tried to get me to stop, but I keep going!
Oh my gosh, I am so sorry for your pain!! And yet you stay the course. ((( bowing to your endurance and determination)))
Thank you, Renea.
Yes, because they cannot wait for someone to save them. They have the power.
Thank you for making a difference in the lives of your students! Keep up the vitally important work you are doing. The country needs more brave and corageous teachers like you.
Where do you teach that you can even discuss such things? Iβd be written up if I did that in my school district.
I teach history ( also hand tool woodworking) one day a week, at a homeschool academy. We have 53 middle schoolers. Not sure on the number of our high schoolers. We teach and give them their work for the week and they come back the next week with their work. I am teaching modern history this year 1790-1950. So much fun! And I love middleschoolers!!
I love the rise of homeschool academies! I think they give courage to people who would like to homeschool their children but may not be confident enough to take the leap, or who worry about the old "unsocialized" trope.
When my daughter was homeschooled (for middle school and high school) and people asked about the socialization, I told them that once a week I would make her eat lunch really fast and talk about her behind her back, and that pretty much took care of it.
That is hilarious! What a great answer.
I wasn't homeschooled, but I was an only child raised on a mountaintop without a television, and educated in small, private, Christian schools that were about an hour from our house. My parents said moved there when I was three because they said that they wanted to make sure they were the biggest influences in my life. It was the early 70s and society was in turmoil, much like today.
My mother made sure that I had ballet lessons, vacation bible school, and time with friends. My father made sure that we traveled the world, even if it meant taking me out of school to do so. They would just take my work with us and I would do it on the planes or in the hotels. I was never with kids as much as I was with adults and I really liked it that way. As a child, I was never a big fan of other children, they mostly seemed unserious and a little feral to me. I came home from my first day of kindergarten absolutely appalled to tell my mother that some of the other kids colored in their reading books.
Despite my unusual upbringing (actually, probably because of it) I never had growing pains, I never was in a social situation where I didn't have the confidence to interact with anyone and everyone, I was never afraid to tackle a new life skill, and I never had a problem getting through a job interview. Today's kids who go to "regular" schools every day end up with many fewer social skills, in my opinion.
You are absolutely correct! I teach Sunday school 4th and 5th graders...most are home schooled or attend Christian private schools. The public school students are more fearful, less inclined to express themselves as Christians, more likely to go along with whatever is happening rather than be themselves, and lack grade level reading skills. It's not a small difference... And, it is far more obvious than ever.
Clarabelle that is a glorious story!
hahaha!!!
π€£π
That is an amazing retort, I will have to save it for future use π
Yeah the socialization nonsense galls me too. What does that even mean? Like homeschool kids get no social interaction?? Plus the kids actually donβt have that much opportunity to socialize in school, so many contexts where talking isnβt allowed! And when it is, there can be so much inanity and viciousness π
Look for a "Classical Curriculum" group in your area. Look first at any PCA congregation near you, as our parents are very likely to support and host that curricula. It is offered for grades 1 thru 12, and is very "old school" comprehensive.
I visited a coschool that was billed as having a classical curriculum. I liked the concept, but decided that particular school was not for us when I talked to the director about masks and she basically said they followed the βlawβ and trusted the βexpertsβ like the epidemiologist on their board of directors who said masks were useful. They had just bragged about how they taught students to be independent thinkers and to expect to be persecuted for not following the crowd. I told her it didnβt seem like they practiced what they preached. She gave me a tight smile accompanied by βI can tell youβre very passionate about this issueβ, said in a condescendingly dismissive tome. I decided then that I didnβt want my son going to a school whose leaders didnβt have the courage of their convictions.
Homeschooler get the best of both worlds in your teaching environment. And they are so lucky to have you.
Thank you and am so blessed..and I have to research and keep learning to be able to teach. Also I learn so much from them ..really!!
Kudos to you! I homeschooled for 5 years and then taught in a small Christian classical school. We read literature across the history curriculum--really brought the history to life. I also taught middle school (6th grade) and loved it! Youβre doing a great service. Every time I feel like our kids are hopeless, I remind myself there are people out there like you and the kids you are teaching. God is gonna use those kids youβre teaching to change our country for the better. I just know it!
Oh wonderful what you have done. I had only two children π₯΄.
You all are so encouraging
Wow, you have a gift. I taught Sunday school for many years, and for several years agreed to do the middle school class. Let's just say it gave me a deep appreciation for people who teach for a living.
I loved them too! 8th grade my absolute favorite.
Wow! This is refreshing to hear! I hope more teachers are speaking the truth like this.

@David_Leavitt 9/9/21 Enough is enough. Make vaccines mandatory.

The people who jump bandwagons are more dangerous than the sheep, IMO. The sheep are mostly fools, some simply uneducated and the rest willfully blind. But leaders who jump to the latest bandwagon know exactly what they are doing to deceive others. At least they expose themselves for having no real backbone.
Of course, it is always possible that this person and others could have seen the light. One can only hope.
Its not a bandwagon, its a cash dispenser
Itβs like their brains have been wiped of 2020 and 2021 thoughts/opinions/proclamations.
Well, obviously that doesn't apply to forced injections of experimental drugs... Let's keep things serious here.... ;)
A lot must have changed for him in Those eight months. Hmm.
I started seeing words like βbaselessβ in the 2020 election run-up. IMHO the word βbaselessβ is editorial in nature. I have no problem with the word βallegedβ and in fact βallegedβ is the appropriate word in many stories. But baseless?!?! Says who? Unless itβs a jury verdict why are journalists using this word so loosely and selectively now?
Similar to 'Russia's totally unprovoked invasion'.
Oh, so it was just a land grab by mean Vlad. Nothing to do with a CIA-coup in 2014 and resulting civil war on Russian-speakers in the region.

Yup! He just woke up one day and decided that it was time to go to war in the Dunbas!
Right? Can you believe that liar Jens Stoltenberg (NATO Secretary General) claiming it was because NATO was encroaching on Russia? What a Putin puppet that guy is.
Yes! As well as "unprovoked invasion." These words have crept into every kind of reporting. As an example, even US Wheat, in an article about the conflict's effect on global wheat markets, called it "Russia's unprovoked invasion." There was no reason to address the cause of the conflict in an article about wheat markets; unprovoked or not had absolutely no bearing and was obviously superfluous to the story. It's glaringly obvious that there is some outside influence over all journalists making them describe things a certain way. I wish I knew where this was coming from.
Exactly. Itβs very βAnimal Farmβ ish. Keep repeating the words in an almost hypnotic fashion.
Ahhh yes Amos βunprovoked invasionβ β what a play on words. Donβt even get me started β talking about the βNATO-Expansionβ line-in-the-sand promises made by the U.S. and its allies when Russia broke apartβ¦.not to mention the Bio-Weaponβs-Labs in Ukraine.

Yes, I was also thinking about "climate change"! The Red Cross made an announcement about a blood shortage, and they blamed it in part on "climate-driven disasters." What is that supposed to mean? I can't even think what events they are referring to that supposedly took so much out of the blood supply.
Well, let's hope it was a "man-caused disaster", to quote The One.

It's a case of word du jur. It was in the memo. And these nedia automatons spew out the regime word salad of the day. They literally are told what key words to say. Hop from one media to another, and almost all use the same term. If anyone thinks the MSM has any independence just listen for The Word of the Day.
The most important thing I can say here is stop paying attention to, let alone psychoanalyzing, presstitutes. They are the lowest form of whores, worse than their masters, because their masters are selling their souls for $$$, and they are selling their souls for pennies. What they say about anything does not matter. Don't watch them, don't read them, don't follow them. Let then blow away in the wind like the CIA Ukie trolls here.
Says the SHERIFF: 'βThe temporary ban challenges the foundations of our constitution,β he explained, βand I take my oath seriously.β'
Here is our bulwark against tyranny: sheriff's who have the Constitution in their back pocket. It's TIME all our Governors, Attorney Generals and all sheriffs take a stand as he has. It's time Gov DeSantis take his oath to the state of FL seriously.
Catherine Austin Fitts stresses the only defense against the tyranny and fraud such as real estate grabs by nefarious means is to have a sheriff that will not allow it to even start.
I did hear a lot of chatter that the line in the sand for most sheriffs is the second amendment. We shall see.
In my rural NE Georgia County, I regularly (3-4 months) schedule time to chat, face-to-face, with our Sheriff. He, (as in any municipality) is our first line of defense to any unconstitutional tyranny. In my next meeting with him, I plan to ask if he has considered, and, is willing to deputies qualified citizens, in case things escalate.
Back in the 80's, my sheriff in Santa Clara county CA had a program to deputize "honorary sheriffs" in the community who could be called upon to assist if needed. They were issued IDs and deputy badges in a wallet.
I would be very interested in hearing about you doing this. What is your understanding of what can be done and your role in it, by talking to your Sheriff? Any tips? Anecdotes?
Union, Fannin, or Towns? You might ask him, as I did ours, if he's heard any scuttlebutt about resettling "refugees" up in these mountains. Certain of our county commissioners might be capable of saying "yes" to Mayorkas; you may know of whom I speak.
We own a b & b.(circa 1837) in Sautee. We took out extra insurance in case of domestic crazies coming at us because the house was built by slaves.
Glad your underwriter took you seriously. Look at what the maroons did to several Canadian churches ... and found NO SLAVE GRAVES, as rational people predicted.
White County. I haven't heard the resettlement issue. Grrrrr...
Thanks, neighbor! Do keep your ears attuned ... maybe not today, but if the bribe is big enough, tomorrow.

Another case study of a hero Sheriff, and also how they try to undermine that Sheriff:
LA Lawmakers Move to Strip Sheriff of COVID Vaccine Mandate Enforcement
The Hill reported:
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday decided that Sheriff Alex Villanueva would no longer be responsible for enforcing COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
The decision came after Villanueva refused to fire unvaccinated deputies who did not comply with the mandate. As a result, the board requested a draft of the new enforcement policies be provided by next month. Those policies will allow the personnel director to place enforcement responsibilities in the hands of someone who complies with the mandate, the newspaper reported.
In a statement on Tuesday, the sheriff framed the decision as a push to fire 4,000 unvaccinated people from his department. βThis is nothing more than another politically motivated stunt by the Board, which has no bearing on public health, but will definitely harm public safety,β his statement said.

Los Angeles County Sheriff says heβll refuse to enforce vaccine passport mandate
Pushing back.
https://reclaimthenet.org/los-angeles-county-sheriff-says-hell-refuse-to-enforce-vaccine-passport-mandate/
"My oath of office states, βI, Bradley D. Rogers, do solemnly affirm that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America and the Constitution of the State of Indiana, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge the duties of the office of Sheriff of Elkhart County, Indiana, according to the law, and to the best of my ability, so help me God.β
This oath stems from Article VI, Section 3 of the United States Constitution, requiring all public servants to take this or a similar oath. So, if you are a public servant, such as a sheriff, judges, mayors, county/city councilman, chief of police, auditor, treasurer, state representative, senator, congressman, or the president of the United States, you are required to take the oath of office. As we approach an election season, the importance of the oath of office would be a good topic to vet on any local candidate.
Nowhere in that oath does it say I will write speeding tickets, keep a jail, arrest bad guys, and investigate crimes or respond to traffic crashes. Sure, those are all duties outlined in state law for the sheriff and his deputies as we serve and protect. But, the oath is the most important element that all public servants should remember, particularly when societal trends seem to be setting up government officials to do otherwise.
There is a misconception among some law enforcement officers and the public that officers are just here to enforce the laws. In other words, there is a general expectation that we officers are supposed to check-our-mind-at-the-door and enforce any law regardless how unjust, oppressive or clearly unconstitutional a law is. This is not accurate. Nowhere in this oath does it require any law enforcement officer to enforce all laws.
This oath is meant to provide a βchecks and balanceβ in our system of government. Our founding fathers knew there would be people who make mistakes, maybe even evil men, who would attempt to usurp the Constitution. When every public servant takes a solemn oath, then our Constitution has built-in safe guards at all levels, not just at the legislative and judicial levels.
In fact, the officers today have a great deal of discretion on enforcing laws. For example, officers enforce traffic laws daily. However, officers often give warnings, rather than a citation. In other words, an officer chooses not to enforce the law by not βarrestingβ someone. The action can still be beneficial to the community, by bringing attention to traffic safety. If all laws must be enforced without discretion, officers would never be able to give warnings and officers would not be able to make decisions that would divert persons from the criminal justice system. For example, an officer may choose to take a person home that was found in a state of public intoxication but not causing any trouble. There is no contempt of the law in either of these examples.

Excellent!!!
Thank you!

Ths is the living embodiment of why the police must be defunded.
Indeed, that is exactly their objective.
I hear people admonishing others not to get the death jabs, because they are risky, untested, have killed and maimed many, and cause clots the size of an anaconda. This kind of public service message is followed by something like: "The 'vaccines' are not recommended unless you are over 65 or have serious health conditions." What??? "If anyone should die or be permanently disabled, it should be seniors." Look, I'm one of those who apparently should take the death jab and start my collection of spike proteins, but there's no way I would ever take this vaccine or any other. Why would these shots even be mentioned to a vulnerable population such as mine?
I agree with you Elaine. NO ONE should be taking these jabs. No one. They are a failed product, full stop.
Genocide ?
Because older people are more skeptical, less easily controlled and better at logic and critical thinking. You know, educated.
As differentiated from "schooled".

Alex Berenson: From @CDCgovβs OWN data:
1 million mRNA Covid shots for teens will prevent 0-1 Covid deaths
and CAUSE 100,000-200,000 severe side effects.

And theyβre doing this to our children in plain sight. My children are adults and I begged them not to get the shots and I explained why. Two got the first series- for me, one got the first shot to keep his job before the mandate was dropped and one got no shots. Iβm 70 and itβs heartbreaking to be healthier than my 29 year old daughter.
And one million death jabs will cause more than 1 death. These people are unbelievable!
