Before reading, prayers for a perfect heart healthy scan Jeff. Then a good cup of coffee as your reward! 🙏 ☕️

Words Beyond Me-Janice Powell's avatar

I sense a kindred spirit with Jeff here on the heart scans and drugs, but not the sadness over skipping coffee. 😉Prayers for always good results.

Guy White's avatar

Java deferred is the WORST part of so many medical exams or procedures. I always try to get the first appointment of the day so as to speed by that unpleasantness and satisfy that addiction ASAP. ☕️

No. 6's avatar

Couldn't agree more, Guy! And sure, I understand the theoretical (and probably very practical) concept of a relaxed and slowed heartbeat leads to better (and probably far more accurate) scans... But, but, well ask yourself this, what if it was an IQ test, would you agree to a no-caffeine morning/afternoon/day/week/etc. ? I'm getting another cup myself ASAP just to try to comprehend a world without Java 😧😜 (And good luck to you, Jeff, I myself just got scheduled for two scans next month) 😲😬

Words Beyond Me-Janice Powell's avatar

The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. 😏😀

Guy White's avatar

😀As long as I get at least 2 cups a day, there’s no problem 😁

Sarah Beth's avatar

Well said Janice ☺️

John Bogus's avatar

My bad! Yes, Jeff, Praying for a healthy scan. I had one last year at age 74. Although I didn't score Zero, my cardiologist gave me a 👍.

Evangeline's avatar

Uh oh what scan. I missed it. Jeff God bless you! God be with you and keep you healthy!🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

Prayers for Trump and Bobby to be brave and do the right thing:

From Americans for Health Freedom Press release (text of the letter below):

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A coalition of physicians, scientists, investigators and medical-freedom advocates sent a formal letter today to President Donald J. Trump and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., calling on the administration to take immediate, decisive action against mRNA COVID-19 vaccines and related gene-therapy products.

Let's hope. I was at the pharmacy last week and they have signs for the mRNA covid and flu shots everywhere, urging people to get them. Not me, not ever.

John of Oregon Fame's avatar

Johnny-O, for once we are in agreement. Good post and better link. I have followed Sasha from her beginning work on the Covid 19 gene altering injection. She knows her stuff and hopefully has the respect of Robert Kennedy Jr and she will have some sway with him.

Johnny-O's avatar

Yeah, she is one sharp cat.....but the Big Harma lobby is one big blunt hammer crushing everyone, and Trump's confidant Wiles is straight out of big harma......So.

Paula Kroll's avatar

Dr. Robert Malone wrote a great piece today titled "The Kennedy Exception".

Main point being the lack of any opposition to Big Pharma and the mRNA products.

We will now have MFLUSIVA.

In addition to all the other poisons.

Most definitely! 🙏🏻

Had not heard of this in previous readings. Thank you. Still poring over.

I had heart surgery in 2018 to replace a defective at birth, aortic valve. The docs also concluded that I needed a CABG as well (actually, no graft, just repurposing another artery). Then it was off to the cardiologists of which I've had, and fired, five of them now.

Each of these cardiologists wanted me on some sort of statin at some dose range. They also wanted me to take other pharma prescribed potions, like losartan (look up how many recalls etc). Each of the five had their own favorite statin and adjuncts. Each of the five had no interest in my questions and questioning. Each of the five no longer get $$'s

Kathy Sincere's avatar

I am 78 years young. I've been having cardiac issues this year and am taking Strophanthus. It's amazing. You can get it on Amazon or on Dr. Tom Cowan's website.

Harry Mathis's avatar

Since having open heart surgery in 2017, I have had heart scans semiannually—without having to take preparatory medications.

Wrong. I read Jeff every day. I agree with him on 90% of the issues but on this non-war war against Iran started under false pretenses we differ. He ignores the war reporting so I fill in for him. No charge :)

I have my post ready so when I get my C&C I can just drop it in.

Juju's avatar

Let’s hope Susan Collins isn’t in charge of the message creativity. Jeff’s “Nothing gets a crowd on its feet like permitting reform.” got an out loud and hearty laugh out of me, I even snorted and rattled my dog.

They need to give a huge chunk of that money to the gang that does Spencer Pratt advertising. THAT’S the kind of energy this dead dog GOP needs.

Margot Wooster's avatar

Susan Collins should not be in charge of anything! If the Republicans had spines, they would cut her and Murkowski and the others like them OFF from any committees etc.

Actually, the idiot GOP just endorsed another weasel: Darlin’ Nordone. None of my REPUBLICAN friends are voting for this mystery and mute candidate that Trump (having lost his mind) has Kamalaed SC with.

Great idea with the Spencer Pratt advertising for Repubs!

MaryAnn's avatar

Juju—I am getting disturbing messaging from some downstate IL GOP candidates about the local GOP orgs not releasing funds for their campaigns. The GOPers with control of the checkbooks do not like some of the candidates (Darren Bailey for Gov, for one) so are withholding the support. I understand my red vote goes nowhere in Pritzker’s machine but the IL GOP is not helping, to put it mildly. 😖

ItsMeAgain's avatar

Same in my state. The local GOP machinery sucks! Scott Pressler should be in charge of the $. Then we would see REAL results!

Thune is a McConnell plant, and we are still suffering from Mitch promoting his RINOs with $$ over the likes of the Sarah Palins. Remember the McCain Feingold $$ ceiling on McCain’s presidential run?

I think one cliche that may be true is that the vast majority of voters don’t start posting attention to an election until about now, late Sept. that’s why they are starting the big money campaign now.

Crane's silence on Iran has been disappointing.

John Bogus's avatar

I get regular updates from his office and how he supports President Trump. Not sure why that is (lack of Iranian support).

Johnny-O's avatar

I phones in to his last town hall and was in line to ask a question about Iran war, but surprisingly never got to me, and there was not a single question about this very important topic.

Someone did ask about supporting Massies latest push on the Epstein files, which he said he couldn't support without first looking into it, but that he was one of the few GOPers who supported the Transparency Act and supports in general releasing files. But I honestly don't see the Epstein stuff going anywhere. Too many big players involved and they will continue to be protected

Laura's avatar

John Bogus,

You are right about the RNC in Az. I have a friend who was sidelined for pointing out the take over by the "maga disruptors" with receipts. They are not really MAGA.

Shelby Bush has received over $1.2 million from donors outside of Arizona. Others are paid grifters too. It is disgusting.

I am holding my nose and voting straight republican this midterm and telling my friends to do the same. VOTE, it is not an option.

Here is the link to the Everything Republican Newsletter to follow what is happening in the Arizona Republican Party: https://conta.cc/4hI3m9B

How the districts are targeted. Not just relevant for Maricopa county. Its happening in your states too. Please read the link.

Dan (100% All in MAGA)'s avatar

Neither of those seats are contested in 2026. The seat gallego currently sits in was stolen in 2024 and the gargoyle's seat, treasonous mark kelly was put into power by the stolen election of 2022. So, barring someone "taking out" either of those two criminals we wont see kelly until the 2028 election and cartel criminal gallego until 2030. Stolen elections have catastrophic consequences. Both of those elections were stolen with the programmable machines and wholesale mail in ballot fraud. Neither of those two election manipulation processes have been destroyed so they will be used in 2026 as well.

I hope one thing everyone understands is that the "Secretary of State" Adrian Fontes, a cartel attorney before being illegally seated - has the statewide database of every voter in Arizona, legal and illegal. He and his goons can easily keep track of who has voted each day during the mail in early voting period and who has voted walk-in. Comparing those every day to the statewide database lets him and his statewide goons see who can still be voted for with mail in ballot dumps near the end of election day or simply inserting thousands of pre-filled ballots at county offices as they move from and through the Recorders office to and through the Elections office.

Starsky's avatar

Noticed this too. Hobbs is literally accusing Biggs of being a pedophile all summer long while she and her husband are the ones supporting “gender affirming care” aka genital mutilation of children. Then Hobbs is taking credit for no taxes on tips or overtime! 😂 What timeline did I wake up in?

Debbie Wagner's avatar

Don’t you just love it when all the people that have been in government power positions and media for decades criticize someone else for getting done what they could NEVER have done? If they had known a better, more “polite and tasteful” way, why didn’t they do it? I’m so sick of the whining and second guessing from these pathetic losers. Either do something HELPFUL or get out of the way!

SteelJ's avatar

DeSantis is more effective at getting things done that Trump. And better on COVID, by far. And better on the Epstein files, by far. And it's doubtful he'd have been dumb enough to attack Iran. He was my preference. But, too many find someone who acts and talks like a spoiled 4 year old more appealing than someone who acts like an adult.

Debbie Wagner's avatar

Not sure what this has to do with the President’s success in Greenland. I like DiSantis too, but he’s not the president. Pointing out someone’s personality flaws while he’s accomplishing huge wins — like securing our border, making a deal for the oil in Venezuela, making us energy independent, and scoring strategic victories for our national security — seems a little off the mark. It seems more appropriate to give credit where credit is due.

I suspect that if the TDS-afflicted and the neocons had been alive in the early 1900s, they would have been wringing their hands and wailing about Teddy Roosevelt’s comments.

James Goodrich's avatar

Related but a bit off topic.

Isn’t it amazing that Trump made a once in a lifetime deal allowing the US permanently into Greenland for their security and it’s completely ignored by the left wing MSM. It’s no wonder MSM orgs are being kicked out of the White House.

No one is stopping msnbc cnn or politico from writing their left wing dribble. There is no infringement on the 1st amendment. No one’s being silenced, thrown in the gulag, put into camps. Obama is the one that got rid of the Smith-Mundt Act. Obama was the president that spied on journalists, he’s the one that illegally spied on Trump and made up the Russian hoax.

Joe Biden threw out over 400 center right and right wing journalists from the White House. Social media banned Trump from their platforms not allowing him to get his word out. This was why he built Truth Social!

The MSM refuse to broadcast his speeches. The MSM is in many ways why America has so much division and problems. They are left wing propaganda machines. Being welcomed into the White House is a privilege that they all abused and they have proven they don’t deserve it. Communism is a mental disorder.

Richard schoenenberger's avatar

Once again James, thank you for expressing exactly what I feel.

Merry McIntyre's avatar

James, CNN broadcast live the Trump’s Butler campaign rally which they rarely do. My thought is that they knew about the assassination attempt, which if successful, would be a mass trauma event like 9/11. How many freedoms did we lose with the implementation of the Patriot Act? If Trump had been assassinated, my guess is that the door would be open for a Communist/Marxist takeover of the United States of AMERICA.

Margot Wooster's avatar

BUT GOD did not allow their evil plan to succeed!

Linda Whitney's avatar

Interesting, Merry. Very interesting.

The Communist/Marxist takeover part of the equation has only grown since Butler.

If the DSA and Islamist politicians (who somehow end up in office even though they do not pledge loyalty to our constitution due to their 'superior' belief system) gain a bigger foothold in the midterms, we have an enormous problem regardless of corporate media coverage.

There are plenty of smart people like Jeff who are paying attention. Spread the real word.

BD's avatar

Agree. The Communist/Marxist takeover is still moving forward. They have come more out of the closet since Butler.

Willing Spirit's avatar

Many have had your thought about why CNN just happened to decide to be there at the Butler Rally.

Similar to how they just happened, several years ago, to be outside Roger Stone’s home at 6:00 a.m., when a Swat team arrived to terrorize Roger and his deaf wife.

We really cannot hate them enough.

Graphite 🇨🇦's avatar

Unlikely that they actually knew of the assassination attempt - but were likely given a 'heads-up' that something newsworthy might well happen!

Willing Spirit's avatar

I suspect they knew. I believe they are that treacherous and traitorous. We are far gone as a nation and a long way to come back to decency.

Merry McIntyre's avatar

Well, the Left loonies, especially CNN, hate Trump & want him dead. I vote that they knew possibly helping to plan the assassination.

InquizitiveOne's avatar

I believe the same thing Merry! They wanted the world to witness Trump getting a bullet to the brain!

Now that we are aware of the many lies and attempts to get rid of Trump, it's not a stretch to believe they were planning the "big one" for Butler!

I for one, don't even want to think about where we would be if they had succeeded in taking trump out!

Merry McIntyre's avatar

Totally agree! I can’t bear to think where we would be right now.

Nancy's avatar

Was it a CNN reporter who just happened to be at Marlargo when they invaded Trump’s residence?

Merry McIntyre's avatar

Not sure but wouldn’t be surprised.

Then get off your butts and VOTE! You don’t hurt Republicans by staying home, you hurt OUR REPUBLIC!

Never been a better time for a third party. If the Massie/Tucker/MTG/Kent meeting goes anywhere though, they'll need to expand beyond their side of the political spectrum. There are a few sane people on the left who haven't abandoned actual liberal doctrine, like freedom of speech and choice, anti-censorship, fair and honest elections, and are America first, and believe in national borders. Glenn Greenwald, Jeffrey Sachs, Matt Taibbi come to mind. We need a coalition, not a fraction of the right.

Johnny-O's avatar

I agree, but so many voters are so easily corralled back into the big party tents. You know, if you don't vote for D or R, you are wasting your vote and guaranteeing the evil D or R will win.....someone below said by not voting you are voting for communism. The same tired out BS we have heard election after election, and it still works somehow.

SteelJ's avatar

Yeah, it's a steep hill to climb. We need:

Anti‑war left + anti‑war right

Anti‑corporate left + anti‑corporate right

Civil‑liberties left + civil‑liberties right

Populist left + populist right

Put those together and it's a lot of people. Might not be impossible with effective enough mouthpieces pushing.

OK folks. Jeff is asking us to do our part and vote. I sent out an email to one part of my family, about 20 voting adults. These are all conservative voters, but some can get lazy and take our freedoms for granted. I will be leaning on them. And contacting a bunch of friends/acquaintances too. As Larry the Cable Guy says, "Let's get-er done."

Guy White's avatar

Taking our constitutional freedoms — especially the right to vote — for granted is an insult to every fallen hero and veteran that has served or is currently serving to protect and defend them for us. Remember the closing scene of Saving Private Ryan: “Earn this.” Show that you appreciate their sacrifices by investing the relatively minuscule amount of time it takes to cast your ballot. I too am kicking against the goads in national elections when it comes to presidential and senatorial races, but can still make a difference at the local level. I believe it is a moral imperative to vote in every election, and I have. And take a bunch of friends with you to the polls, if your state votes that way. Make a day of it. Generations of veterans would appreciate that.

I am a veteran, 24 years active in the Navy. Throughout my career, I had to vote absentee and was never convinced my vote counted. Since retiring, I've voted on every Election Day in person to make sure my vote counted. Not bragging, just saying. BTW, I'm about as conservative as you can get!!!

Juju's avatar

Such a great reply ❤️❤️❤️

Patti's avatar

I like this. Agreed. Takes a very small amount of time to show some respect to our veterans 🇺🇸

I’m sending out reminders and saying

“Vote as if the life of every single baby and even every born alive child is depending on it!!!! Because it DOES!!!!”

Kathy's avatar

I envy the fact that your family leans that way. I am the only person in my extended family not suffering from TDS. And most of my friends suffer too. 🤮

Don't you wonder how otherwise normal, intelligent people look at the same reality and come to such a wildly inaccurate conclusion?

Hana CL's avatar

YES. And the Plandemic made that more patently clear than I ever could have imagined. So many pay-ops, lies, and outright skullduggery. I pray for discernment for my family and friends. And myself. May the Lord open more and more eyes to TRUTH. And may He help those of us who see reality to stand UP boldly and wisely to the swirling lies. 🙏😞🙏🙏🙏🙏

I have concluded that we see things so differently because I occupy an entirely different information ecosystem. They continue to believe the NYT tells the truth.

WTPuck's avatar

Or worse, network TV. Which recycles everything the NYT prints.

I relate to this comment. Cannot speak of anything positive on Trump/ accomplishments in my family without the tepid “vitriol” of what a bad man he is and “how can you support him”?

Willing Spirit's avatar

I would send them the lists of accomplishments. They’ve given you an invitation by asking how you can support him.

Willing Spirit's avatar

Be sure not to do anything that will remind them to vote😱

Sandy Peters's avatar

Also send text messages to remind.

I feel your pain after requiring the same prep for testing last Friday. Coffee never tasted so good! Best of luck and praying for good outcomes.🙏

No one really takes the WSJ seriously anymore. It's getting like the San Francisco chronicle, also known as the San Fran Comical.

Bill Lacey's avatar

I started reading the WSJ in the 1970s. It was a great paper and one could get an education on business, finance, taxes, etc. from its pages. That all changed during Obama's first term. The quality of the reporting had me shaking my head so often that it became hard to justify the subscription price.

The last straw was when some "reporter" wrote that both bond prices and interest rates were both rising - a mathematical impossibility. The paper that gave me my financial education was now a rag being run by financial illiterates.

Mrs. M.'s avatar

I loved the scene in Young Frankenstein where the Monster is reading the WSJ🤣📰📽️

Larry Warren's avatar

Changed when Murdoch bought it and added twice the size with blather filler to “justify” the price increases.

Elizabeth Burns's avatar

I’m old enough to remember when the WSJ was considered a conservative paper…the only one my dad would read. He wouldn’t recognize it today.

MaryAnn's avatar

I had to subscribe to WSJ (required reading) as an undergrad in the 70s. My liberal U must have been getting ‘incentives’ from the former red rag. 😂

DaveL's avatar

Used to enjoy reading it, but their subscription price is astronomical and they insisted on handing the “news” department to 20-something journalism graduates.

Unwoke in Idaho's avatar

I used to be a subscriber for decades. Then I left. Now I read it for free (and can comment too HAH!) by using the digital resources at my library. It signs me up for three days and it’s free and I can renew every three days forever and ever amen.

neener's avatar

However small the portion, the subscription price through the library is paid for by your tax dollars.

Unwoke in Idaho's avatar

Which, ahem, I pay for anyway so why not use it? And the library is about the only thing I get for my city property taxes.

With all due respect, yours was a ridiculous comment.

Kathleen Janoski's avatar

Yes, WSJ used to be good. At one time even WaPo was pretty good.

If the Republicans had passed the Save Act which everyone wanted, there would be no question for Nov victory. But frankly, this failure will cause a lot of R voters to stay home. I will vote but I do feel like Charlie Brown when Lucy holds the football!!!

Suzie's avatar

And that is exactly the effect the enemy is hoping for: a demoralized and frustrated Right. Call their bluff and vote Red straight ticket. There are numerous new candidates on tickets who are coming in to fight for us and this country. It can make all the difference, as we weed out the RINOS each and every election.

Hold your nose if you have to and do what’s right!!

We won in 2024 without the Save Act because of turnout.

And these midterms require that same intensity if not moreso!

Throwing away the good in pursuit of the perfect is a losing proposition.

We have only just begun the battle to save this Republic and to quit or surrender now would be the height of petty arrogance and stupidity. This country has been handed the starkest choice ever: to vote ourselves into Communism, or to vote to save us from utter ruin, and continue the fight to free the Republic from the grips of sheer evil.

Get Out and Vote, like your life depends on it and your kids futures too.

Margot Wooster's avatar

Well said, Susie! Even more important, pray and trust GOD like your life depends on it, because it does!

Jacquijacq's avatar

I will and I agree but it’s getting tiresome. When you hear Karl Rove say he is voting D then you know that most of the Rs are phoney baloney

Willing Spirit's avatar

? I realize and have realized for decades that Karl Rove is a fat POS, but if most Rs are ‘phoney baloney’, as you said, then why does Rove need to vote for Democrats?

Willing Spirit's avatar

So because the road is long and the climb is hard, we should just quit and accept defeat?

That’s exactly what the enemy is hoping for.

Jacquijacq's avatar

Nope that’s not what I said. I’m not quitting but it’s clear that there are factions in the R Party that in fact are NOT on our side

Bitsy54's avatar

And, pray tell, how do you vote out RINOs when evil voters conspire to ruin Republican primaries, in states with open primaries, by voting heavily for THE RINO candidate? South Carolina is one such backwards state that is terrified of losing their RINO controlled government if only registered party members are allowed to vote in that party’s primary. There is a democrat organization that cons older “republicans” to run for office. This evil cabal pays the costs of registering and campaigning for this “out of the blue” candidate with the explicit goal of splitting the Republican vote. https://youtu.be/x4OQGvMAvFg?is=rDtVlLFNFpDvWgni Check out National Ground Game.

Juju's avatar

Maybe the biggest advertisement we should be pushing right now is: “You want the SAVE Act passed? We have one more election that must be too big to rig in order to accomplish that. Give this president the Republican numbers he needs to be able to pass it without thin margins and typical excuses for not passing it. One. More. Time. And then the People will always have the power and control to choose who their leaders are, not some deep state cabal. This midterm election matters equally as the 2024 election did. Vote like our lives depend on it, because it does.”
