Governor DeSantis removes another Soros-backed DA; Senator Feinstein takes a short trip, Biden Administration admits it made up booster guidance; and real flying cars are finally here.
I’m old enough to remember when politicians feared being perceived as “soft on crime.” Now, that appears to be a prerequisite for Democrats, who have taken the bleeding-heart cliché to homicidal levels.
NOTE the header on the NBC News story : Guns in America. This is an effort to ensure a steady diet of tragic deaths and violence that can be used to gin up support for gun restrictions. Let the violent offenders go and then blame guns for the mayhem that ensues.
When DeSantis gets done firing Soros backed prosecutors in FL, we have one for him in MO too. Although she has announced she is not running in 2024, so suppose there will be one even to the left of her to take her place, as our area's record murder rate hasn't yet led to citizens asking for gun control. But out ailing local rag newspaper has gotten a grant from some leftist non profit to report on 'guns in America'. I am sure ours is not unique. Too bad no one reads it anymore except maybe my 84 YO mom.
As a 12-year-old, I threw a paper route for Tulsa's afternoon paper (those were the days - TWO major newspapers in many cities.) The Tulsa Tribune, alas, is long gone.
The morning paper, the Tulsa World, was always less conservative than the Tribune. But these things are relative of course. The World as well as OKC's formerly very conservative Daily Oklahoman are extremely liberal now in a "shut-up-and-listen-to-your-betters" kind of way.
Every once in a while, I will see the The Tulsa World laying on someone's driveway. It's pathetic - probably less than 20 pages, and most of that is advertising.
I'm waiting for the day it goes under and the uber-woke reporters have to find real jobs.
Jeff did a story well over a year ago about the left propping up legacy media with grants, and ever since have kept my eye out for that. As just like any grant, the grant recipient generally has guidelines in regards to how they use the money.
Yes, KC used to have 2 newspapers as well. I am old school and did like reading the paper every morning, years ago they used to have good coverage of local news, events, and even a business section. Ignored the national stuff, but after Ferguson the racing baiting and 'in depth stories' around social justice narrative was the last straw. Could no longer support that rag in good conscience. My mom still gets it as she is liberal so I page through the shell of what is left. Very little news other than AP, Wapo and NYT reprints after the handful of local narrative stories. She 'saves me' stories from their guns in America series so she can tell me that Republicans don't care if people are dying. I do read them, good to know what the left is up to. Gist of the stories is always pull on heartstrings over rational data and policy discussion.
I suspect that this is true of all big American cities. When I was growing up in the Detroit area, there was a genuine rivalry between the Detroit Free Press and Detroit News. The Free Press tended to be progressive, the News was more conservative. Both papers were excellent. My Dad was a Democrat who worked for the Free Press and proudly toed the paper's progessive line.
The downfall, at least in Detroit, began after a newspaper strike in the mid-80s which resulted in the papers entering into a Joint Operating Agreement. They became the same paper for all intents and purposes with the exception of independent editorial boards.
Interestingly, the Free Press (they started calling it the 'Freep' to make it sound hip) and the News are still around. The Free Press has lurched far-left while the News still feigns being "conservative". Both have limited value as sources for local news.
Closer examination of both papers - like the vast majority of major dailies - reveals an alignment on ultimate issues which is to be expected from any major daily owned by Gannet or MediaNews Group. In the end, they serve the same interests. It's like choosing between Pravda and Izvestiya for news and editorial perspective.
"The downfall, at least in Detroit, began after a newspaper strike in the mid-80s which resulted in the papers entering into Joint Operating Agreement. They became the same paper for all intents"
That's EXACTLY what happened to Tulsa's two competing papers.
I don't remember what precipitated the 2 KC papers becoming one paper but the project Mockingbird style of narrative adherence is probably consistent across most big cities' 'newspaper of record'.
Interestingly, a couple of groups of former KC Star reporters have banded together to create what I am pretty sure are online only news sites. Every once in a while I will log on if there is a big local story. Not necessarily 100% down with the narratives, but still a detectible leftist slant. And there is a right leaning guy who has a successful blog site for covering the behind the scenes skullduggery and drama at city hall, not sure how he gets paid as there are no ads and no option to subscribe with a paid subscription.
But getting truly local news is a challenge, have to go to a mish mash of sites and even then a lot is missing. Local TV news is no better. Hubby still tunes in occasionally for sports and weather as he gets ready in the morning but there is a lot of fluff and little depth. It makes it tough around election time as too many people really are not aware of the issues.
When I was in high school in the 1960s, Sacramento CA had two newspapers: The Democrat leaning Sacramento Bee, and the conservative Republican leaning Sacramento Union. The Union was delivered in the morning, the Bee in the late afternoon. My parents subscribed to both, so I spent all those years reading two points of view on a daily basis. All that reading not only stimulated my interest in events and politics from a fairly young age, it was also very valuable in teaching me to approach media reports with a wary and often skeptical eye. I'm very grateful for that early exposure to two points of view. When elections rolled around, I always knew that the Bee would be recommending a mostly Democrat slate of candidates, and the Union would mostly recommend Republicans. The differences in the two parties was distinct even at that point in time. Eventually (not sure when), the Union ceased publication although the Bee is still around spouting the leftist party line with no opposition.
I was a political nerd from a young age, but my dad was very involved in the D party. My 5th grade teacher put me in charge of the current events bulletin board and so would read the papers every day and cut out articles to put up. I think my inflection point was Ross Perot. I loved his charts and graphs, and 30 minute commercials and had several months between jobs that summer and volunteered for his campaign. Loved that he talked about the deficit. I actually wrote a term paper on that in HS. Perot started my questioning everything. And I still hate the deficit spending!
I used to read that paper too when we lived in KC (maybe we only got the Sunday edition though, can’t remember). We used to get the paper here too (and like you, I always enjoyed reading a real newspaper) but they got more and more woke and spout the same sanctimonious garbage as all the others, so we quit subscribing after a few years.
I was not sure, I remember as a kid that one came in the morning, and the other in the late afternoon, my parents subscribed to both. Got curious and looked it up - they were actually both owned by the same group, and were employee owned until 1977. I just assumed they were separate! The Times ended in 1990, which was later than I remember, but I left for college in 1983, and didn't start getting a newspaper again until after I graduated and had money but only remember getting one a day. https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Kansas_City_Times
I can see where it would look like they were two different papers, with different names. The Star bought the Times back in 1901 - a little before my time...
Similar situation here in little ole Northwest super conservative Florida. The local paper was part of a conservative network that was eventually sold to a larger conglomerate and each sale saw it drift further to the left. It is mostly USA Today and AP now. I only subscribe to the digital version for the funnies, obits and crossword puzzle and skip over the propaganda. I really do miss the columns by Dr. Thomas Sowell and Dr. Walter Williams. So much wisdom and common sense there.
Yes, I hung on to our paper for way too long as at least the opinion page has a couple of conservative opinion columns every day I enjoyed although there were 4-5 leftist ones and letters to the editor published from conservatives were few and far between.
I don't trust Eigel. He was one of the obstructionists around the 7-1 map debacle that ensured Senate gridlock the entire 2022 session. He spoke at a local We the People group I belong to last year and when I called him out on the bills that failed to pass he waved me off and said gridlock is a good thing. Told me afterwards when I had him one on one when I made some very specific points around bills that should have passed, and one of his remarks was 'the people need a savior'. I told him, no the people need to engage and save themselves. This year he spoke at a different group and I asked him how we can roll back Prop C (the initiative petition-led amendment that passed in 2008 that required 15% of energy from 'green' sources by 2021) to help reduce spiking energy prices. He didn't even know what Prop C was. I don't like Kehoe (Parson clone) or Ashcroft (soft on voter fraud) either, hoping there is a 4th choice. Although the last I heard a couple of weeks ago, Kehoe has a huge war chest and is raising a lot of money so it's a battle against the RINOs.
Yeah, that savior comment is way out of line. That's this country's big problem. We are always looking for a savior to deliver us instead of delivering ourselves. I actually agree that gridlock is good. The less bills the government passes the safer we are. ;) Forget Kehoe. I'm not sure about Ashcroft. He always says the right things but you know how that goes. We have a big RINO problem in MO, for sure!
Well, I was standing there by myself, and so it would be his word against mine, but definitely rubbed me the wrong way. He reminds me a lot of Eric Greitens - knows how to fire up a roomful of people, but not good at governing, as its all about him being in the limelight. I agree in principle about the gridlock, but things like a parents bill of rights, a bill that would stop a landfill in our area, HB 1169 that would force labeling of MRNA in food, and a bill that would reign in what I call medical kidnapping (Children's Mercy gets CPS involved and takes kids away from parents who disagree with them) were all casualties of this year's gridlock, among other things.
Donna and Amy, I agree with both of you for the most part. There are a lot of RINOS in MO; Gov. Parsons is not a strong leader and certainly not going to step outside the box. HB1169, Informed Consent Labeling (regarding mRNA in food products) was introduced by Rep. Holly Jones and opposed by lobbyists and it died in committee. My rep, Sherri Gallick opposed the bill…her biggest donors were lobbyists. Brenda Shields, Mike Haffner, Dale Wright were some of the GOP against this great bill. Rep. Boggs sponsored HB336 “Required Immuunization Liability Act” which affirms that any employer that requires immunization to work is liable for damages or injury resulting from that immunization. This bill is on hold.
Also, Rep. Bill Hardwick introduced an amendment that would have changed the statute requiring children to be vaccinated for specific diseases in order to attend school. It passed the House but the amendment was removed when the bill went to a committee in the Senate.
The Missouri Budget bill costs us taxpayers 49 Billion dollars, the biggest budget in the states history, including a 9% raise for state workers, of which there are a lot. Senator Rick Brattin voted against the bloated bill.
There’s definitely a need for more strong, true conservatives in our state! Also not a fan of Kehoe or Ashcroft!
Yes, for a R super-majority MO sure has a lot of crappy outcomes in the legislature, and Parson gets part of the blame. And the lobbyists run Jeff City for sure, and I think term limits are partly to blame. Too many rookies, that are impressionable, too few seasoned members who know how to get things done. Everyone rushing to make a name for themselves before they term out and getting along be damned. Seems like the R's fight each other more than they fight the D's....Made a lot of phone calls and emails on Holly Jones' bill to the Emerging Issues committee, to no avail.
Yep it is really all about the gun issue. I noted immediately in Jeff's story that the people always had guns. Were they legally obtained guns? I doubt it. I'd like to see stats on the number of legally obtained guns used in crimes. Unfortunately, the school shooters usually have legal guns but I doubt most of the thugs on the street do.
That is why they sensationalize school shootings. Because those heinous crimes are committed with mostly legal guns so it fits their narrative unless the crime was done by a leftist and a legal gun, then it’s because that person was marginalized.
I think the Psych drugs are a BIG factor in this. My husband has stayed involved with his fraternity/alumni group through the years. Remember in the mid 90's, meeting a young man who was in college in this fraternity who seemed very personable, no red flags about him. A few months later he shot and killed a professor, made national headlines and at the time was noted he had been on Prozac, and there was a lot of discussion on the role of psych meds on violent behavior. Now you never hear anything about the meds they are on....
Jean Peters Baker in KC. Not sure if she was Soros funded but KC has a pretty robust D machine that guarantees D's are entrenched. At least south of the river, KC is also in Clay County and they do elect some R's there. Baker is very soft on crime, though, and has a terrible record. The police can't stand her. She had a R opponent in 2020 who lost, Tracy Chappell, who was the city prosecutor for Blue Springs, but she has partnered with some other attorneys and practices, among other things. 'covid law' and helped people fight mandates so far as I know she is not running this time. Baker announced in June she is not running again, I assume there is an heir-apparent, but so far, no one has gone public. And yes, Kim Gardner in St. Louis WAS Soros-funded, and resigned this spring as AG Andrew Bailey was investigating her so she quit, calling it all racism, of course.
I guess that 9 year old black girl, a victim from those criminals which I included the former da, wasn't a black life who mattered. But then again BLM stands for Big Luxurious Mansions.
her death is tragic but still blamed on results of systemic institutionalized racism and the legacy of slavery, the killers of color always get a pass and Whitey the boogeyman and the 2nd Amendment get the blame--maybe even Climate Change is a factor and lack of mental health resources too
Or while dems support abortion through nine months gestation, which we know ENDS black lives disproportionately to other races. (Check NYC abortion stats) But their own hypocrisy eludes them.
Remember how infuriated they get when someone says “All Lives Matter”. BLM was a shame from the start.
I searched raw police footage of every incident they complained about in 2020 and the police were usually right... not always.
But the way the incidents were presented by the race-baiters and MSM was never accurate. They really were supporting criminals over victims and not even trying to hide it.
That is what demonic Soros wants. If it is that way only for certain racial profiles, that is even worse. It may be fomenting more racism in the country, sadly.
Those removals are a big part of the reasons I'd really prefer DeSantis to stay as governor in Florida. I can't imagine _anyone_ following in his footsteps and doing this sort of thing. Yes, he's showing other states 'this _can_ be done" but even here in Texas ... it ain't being done. These sorts of people who are actively defying their duty and responsibility in the name of their own personal brand of "justice" need to go.
Over and over Ron has been leading the way for all sorts of things that we've generally said we want, but most of those in politics just ignore. Now that we see that these things are possible and even being done, what other governor will step up and do the same thing?
Thank You!!! I'm actually working on an article on why I DON'T want DeSantis (Or RFK) to win the Presidency. I'd prefer him to stay here as well and continue to the work he's started and make Florida one of the best states (and a model to other states.) I think that would be the bigger win vs trying to change the entire country, which would be impossible since it would include so many fights with the powers that be:
No one seems to realize that Governor’s who do the right thing have more power then the President. If we had great Governor’s in 50 states it wouldn’t matter too much who was President.
I wish I could recall the discussion taking place in commentary on various sites about how the states are *supposed* to have more power under the Constitution...it appears a huge part of the problem is states don’t want to give up federal funding, which always comes with strings attached.
Sundance over at the Conservative Treehouse has an excellent post on the ineffectiveness of sanctions against Russia. Apparently Russia is actually quite self-sufficient. There’s a difference between a production economy and a service economy, which is what the US has become. What if US state leaders focused on strengthening their internal economies and weaned themselves off the feds? What if?
Exactly this! The STATES FORMED THE FED - the states have unlimited power- the Constitution was made to limit the governments. Power! We the people need to educate ourselves on our constitutional rights! We can start by signing the petition for convention of states! There is a way to solve America’s “politician” problems. Join Convention of States. https://conventionofstates.com/?ref=57705
Governors need to have house/senate support to get anything done. IL has occasionally had a Repub governor, but without a majority in either the house or senate, he/she is little more than a grand marshall in the 4th of July parade.
A girl on Instagram posted to RFK jr's post yesterday that she, a democrat, has been receiving solicitations for donations to NOT allow RFK to be on the ticket!
So right, Peter. I've said a thousand times that if DeSantis had true discernment and an understanding of how this republic might be saved, he'd have known it won't happen via the crime syndicate's headquarters. It'll happen state by state, county by county, town by town.
Exactly Peter Schott! You beat me to making this exact point. DeSantis is Far more effective, not only in FL, but by showing other Governors what they “could/should” be doing. Can we even imagine the impact of every conservative governor doing the same? I’m disappointed in Abbott acting so much like an establishment RINO.
Indeed, what other governor? Sadly, Texas Gov Abbott appears to be controlled opposition. He talks a good line for the cameras but he has done NOTHING to close his border. Think what would have happened if Kari Lake had not been cheated out of the election for Arizona Governor. She would have declared an invasion, called out the Guard and closed the AZ border. Having done that, Texas and NM would have to follow suit. The DC communists couldn't have that so they blatantly and openly did everything possible to get Hobbs elected from her basement and STILL no one has gone to jail and STILL the election has not been overturned. We are on the razor's edge of losing this country entirely to the Bolshevik pedo Communists.
The Supreme Court is going to hear a case challenging Biden's new tax law that would tax the "unrealized" gains of potentially everything you own (and what HASN'T gone up in value due to gov't inflation?). If the Supreme Court does not rule that unConstitutional, all ownership in this country is effectively transferred to the USG thus eliminating all private ownership. The razor's edge.
Supreme Court Will Hear Case Targeting Tax On Unrealized Gains
The Supreme Court has added a new tax case to its docket for the 2023-24 term: Moore v. United States. As a result, the Court will consider whether a relatively new tax—the "mandatory repatriation tax"—created under a provision of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is unconstitutional under the Sixteenth Amendment. The case could have significance for future taxes, including the much-discussed tax on unrealized gains aimed at the uber-wealthy.
Every new tax is sold as a tax on the wealthy. But you know how that story goes. The wealthy find a way out of the tax and the tax is levied on the middle class. For example, how much "unrealized gain" does the middle class own in the equity of their homes. If income tax was applied to that, how many people could afford to cough up a 20% tax on their homes equity that increased over their original purchase price by inflation?
Make no mistake. The Dem Bolsheviks are desperate to generate new tax revenues and they will crush the middle class to do it.
I was about to post the same thing. We NEED DeSantis to stay Governor in Florida for the next 4 years at least!!! (I live in KY, but he is not only showing other Governors how it’s done, he showing VOTERS how it should be done.
I agree, the DC Swamp would thwart DeSantis at every turn. He can be much more effective in Florida. The DC Swamp deserves Donald Trump, for eight more years.
Right on, Gov DeSantis is showing other governors how it should be done. But the critical next step is that we need to make our Republican governors accountable to it. No, wait that was too soft. We need to demand that they be accountable to it. Get some citizen, action going!
I believe we should always exercise our right to vote no matter what. However, during 2020, many cheating efforts were PROVED by citizens' testimonies, surveillance videos, big tech/gov supression and manipulation, research data, and ON-LINE Dominion.
Our government has NOT fixed or even acknowledged in court, the issues raised about the wide spread cheating. Am I wrong?
I feel votes are NOT valid and our republic is an illusion.
How can we be sure our vote counts?
We can be sure it was/is manipulated, corrupted, supressed, open to interference, insecure, underreported, invalidated, and was/is accessible to foreign entities.
Our votes have been overwhelmed by the cheat and they will do it again. If...Americans get riled up enough to swamp the polls on election day for one candidate, MAYBE we could overwhelm the cheat. 2024 is going to be interesting. If they still manage to control the election, I don't know HOW the American people will react this time. Third time's the charm?
Yes, too many people are closely watching... We definitely should vote on the day of, BUT they can still change the vote in real time individually AND these swing state/counties are corrupt. They can upload whatever data numbers they want and manipulate the real data in the meantime. Then, courts will refuse to look at the proof after the fact.
Am I missing something? I am just a regular person so I don't know how everything in politics work, but I know enough to question its integrity after what I saw in 2020.
I agree 100%. He is needed more in Florida, setting the example for other conservative states. We need to change the direction of the nation, and that will happen state by state. He has made a good start on that and needs to continue. The cabal in DC will just chew him up and spit him out. He has more power as a governor at this point, and he has more influence as a governor. I was sad when he chose to run for president because I believe God put him in Florida for such a time as this.
While I understand the selfish reasons to want DeSantis to stay in FL, he'd be a much more effective President than Trump, AND he can put an end to all of the drama for Trump as well. Trump has been incompetent and/or complicit in too many policies that favor the left, particularly in his appointments, which ironically are part of the reason he's not sitting in the Oval office today. I was dumbfounded when people thought that swamp rat Bill Barr was going to be some kind of "savior", when he's never been anything more than a shill for the Deep State and all of its transgressions (Ruby Ridge/Lon Horiuchi, anyone?). And Trump is still shilling for Big Pharma, more than a year after the Pfizer docs revealed what they knew and when they knew it. The biggest crime against humanity in world history, and he won't acknowledge it or have any empathy for the injured and dead from this fraud, and on his last day in office, he actually rewarded the people he placed and/or kept in positions of authority who did this to us. All of the lawfare nonsense is just a distraction and a tactic to get more people blindly behind Trump so that he's "our" candidate, and they will take him down with his own stupidity. I'm praying for lots more people to wake up and see it.
Be specific. How exactly has he proven that? So far, I don't see him making any of the stupid appointments mistakes as Trump, or any of the other betrayals as noted above.
Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with incorruptible love.
Janice, I would say you have found a ministry inside a ministry. I write down many of your posts, they seem to line up perfectly with my life. Well, duh, that's God. Thank you- sincerely.
That is confirmation to me that when we listen, God speaks. He leads me down what seem to be rabbit trails, but I have learned there is always a treasure at the end. God bless you.
Janice, you dont know how very much I needed these words today. I am going to write this verse down and carry it with me today. It will probably be a rough day. My sister is likely to become another jab related statistic.
Debbie, I had the passage ready yesterday, but then I slept longer. Today when I opened my eyes, I saw the telegram notification that Jeff had just posted today’s newsletter. So that is why you saw it today. Such a sweet Lord we have!
When my mom was sick I prayed two verses, sang them, screamed them... Here is one:
"So do not fear, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. - Isaiah 41:10. It didn't come to my mind and I didn't (on the day I wrote it down) come from my reading of the Bible. I was listening to Christian radio during a Q and A show. Point being God gets you the comfort, solace you need and lets you know that he is there to hold you up with his righteous hand.
A friend of mine told me she had a not so good ekg, her words, and the doctors said maybe even had a heart attack. She did get the vaxx. She caved to the pressure but didn't really want to get it. As we are talking, I said to her that it is quite possible this is due to the vaxx. She should tell the doctors she got it. She hesitated. I said it is now known all these side effects of the vaxx. I dropped it as I could see she did not want to deal with the possibility of a vaxx injury and the horrible consequences from it and her decision to just get it. This is the state of affairs I face with the vaxxed at work and in my daily life. Sad 😔 it should have never happened.
My neighbor who is 75-80 yrs young (she looks like maybe 60!) is a really nice lady. One recent day two of us neighbors were talking and it morphed into vaccines and how they’ve all been a scam from the beginning and then we continued to discuss all things about politics and the great awakening 😳. She said she got two of the jabs. We advised her not to get anymore. I mentioned the flccc website if she was concerned and wanted to detox from it. She is a conservative, but I didn’t really know how much she KNEW. I felt convicted later for steamrolling over the poor lady in our discussion as if she knew all that me and my neighbor had known through years of research. I went to her house a couple days later to apologize for dumping a lot of information on her that she didn’t previously know. Her response was gracious. “You both did your research….I just trusted the government.” She said.
Although steamrolling over someone with a lot of new information is not necessarily the way to go, it was good that she realized the most important thing and I don’t think she will be trusting the government from now on. And now there’s an open door if she has questions moving forward. 🤷♀️ Little by little, right?
I inadvertently got into a vax discussion with a friend who has had 3. As I was talking I saw a dismayed look on her face. Her daughter is a traveling nurse and it was obvious that she’d hadn’t heard any of the facts I was discussing. It was sad really. I just tried to reassure her and dropped the subject. Also, recently my adult daughter was telling that the vaxx was safer than her birth control because her birth control has warnings on it but there are no warnings on the shot. Her fiancé was advised to get the shots even though he’d had a heart attack at 26! Neither of them are in great health. What have we done to the next generation? My heart aches.
You’d think that, in and of itself, would spark a modicum of suspicion or skepticism. When does a product NOT have some kind of warning on it nowadays???
Not only did they trust the government, they trusted their doctors. This is even more heartbreaking. The people they have entrusted their health to; the ones they believed had the knowledge, wisdom and understanding to rightly guide them, did not even do their own research.
AND when you tried to give the doctors the information they acted all weary like "not another imbecile trying to school the master". My husband had to school his obnoxious cousin who is a doctor. She did not understand what she was recommending to her patients. She had no idea about what was in the jab or how it worked. He made her listen. It was uncomfortable.
No. But she sat quietly in front of her whole family while he talked. Initially, she threw a fit because we were there at her sister's house after having spent the whole day with her sick father while we were dangerous;y unjabbed. I think nobody stands up to her because she is a bully. But my husband is a reserved man who is well respected in his wider family. She listened. She didn't change.
Your husband sounds like a wonderful man - If she listened, she now has his words ringing in her ears. Perhaps with future input from various sources she will inch closer to the truth.
So true Robin. I blamed doctors more than any other group in this travesty to the health of millions! Aren’t they the revered guardians of our health? those who have pledged to “do no harm”?
Thank you. I try to be a person of integrity and when I know I am wrong I own up to it. Honestly with the way the world is, it would go a long way if people weren’t so afraid to admit mistakes and bad choices. Asking for forgiveness and showing some humility is not weakness.
I think now depending on the person and how the conversation goes, you can bring up the vaxx and its side effects and detox protocols. Especially if they are talking about health issues. Plant the seed and the fact you will be there for them if they want to talk more.
Or you can also casually talk about the vax and effects in a non accusatory way - take out the finger so to speak - like talking about a family or friend scenario. I did with a good friend of mine when I shared what my brother was going through. I said nothing about her and her shots.
My 52 yr old sister has rheumatoid arthritis and her hubby cancer. Very healthy people up until the last year. I also wonder if they think about their jabbs … but cannot ask. I have a small group of people in my life but the amount of died suddenlys and cancers is unbelievable. 😢
I’ve lost 8 people close to me in the last 12 months and just found out my hubby’s mom has stage 3 cancer😢. No one listens to the crazy conspiracy lunatic.
I know. I haven't heard of any stage 1 or 2. Always it is stage 3 and beyond. Even changes from week to week. My husband's cousin went for testing and they didn't find anything. A week later, same test, stage 3. Huge tumor. How is that possible?
My neighbor, a couple months ago went in and found out she has stage 3 stomach cancer. She’s completely vaxxed and boosted. So sad. Her youngest is 14.
It’s so hard because what’s done is done. Hard to know what to say/how to say.
I have a friend whose RA has just continued to roar along… she keeps accumulating musculoskeletal problems. She has to be up to six jabs now. She will always and forever believe that it is just her underlying, pre-existing RA. Never stopping to co sided that the jab attacks people where they are already vulnerable. It’s quite dreadful, really.
You are right Annie, people don’t want to face the glaring truth. Many people were coerced to keep their jobs. I would like to see these companies held responsible for requiring these jabs for employees.
One hospital system in northern Minnesota had to pay $10 million to former employees (and some current employees) for forcing the jab on them. ( https://www.foxbusiness.com/healthcare/health-care-workers-fired-vaccine-mandate-awarded-10-million-settlement ) With blood in the water, I am wondering where are the sharks? I am pro business but if they forced this on their employees then at least the leadership needs to pay, and pay dearly. Disability and death resulted and they need to be held liable! Bankrupt them as a start to pay back the assaulted and jail time to dissuade future abuses if possible. Negligent homicide, etc. might not be too much a stretch depending on circumstances. Of course, criminal charges need to be brought against the instigators of this scamdemic and the response!
Agree 💯. I kept all my emails showing the pressure and coercion from hq. Luckily 40% were not vaxxed and they knew 90% of us would walk. They would have shut down.
I a pro business too but I don’t think being pro business means that you think it is ok for businesses to steamroll over their employees’ human rights.
Our employer didn't require it though they put a lot of pressure on everyone to get it. She and I were the last 2 unvaxxed in our office. She got it so "she could live. See concerts etc." She gave in. I try not to judge. The vaxx should never have been pushed. But she needs to come to terms with her decision.
That was the case for my parents. Only, a few months later, my mom was diagnosed with bile duct cancer and passed away about 5 months after the diagnosis and less than a year after the shots 😞 Not many people seem to consider that there might be a connection as my dad got them too and is “fine” so far. Personally, I definitely think there is a link. But yeah, so much for the travel plans 😢
So sorry for your loss RL. But one of the many vagaries of the shot is just what you mentioned…one spouse gets the shot and it’s fatal, while the other is fine. We’ve all seen that happen too often. 😢
I teach at a university and it has been one thing to see all these "higher educated" people not do their research and condemn the "nay-sayers," ....but it has been absolutely heart wrenching to see the college students who took the shots because of the coercion. Not just the desire to protect family/friends, but those that actually believed the lie that they were at risk. AND, our campus promoted it with giveaways/prizes.
A long article in today’s Minneapolis Star Tribune aka The Red (as in Commie, not Red State) Star talks about heart injuries after ... wait for it ... Covid! Many snapshots of people now suffering with heart problems and not one mention of vaccine injury as even a remote possibility. Of course, comments are not allowed on this story.
My company's HQ is in Minneapolis and while the staff there is nice, they are liberal, highly vaxxed and totally buy into the leftist BS. I wonder how all of this is going to affect the company - such as increasing lawlessness thru defund the police, vaxx injuries and vaxx deaths. Next couple of years will tell.
Highly vaxxed companies are evidently experiencing higher absenteeism according to Ed Dowd's research. The people in charge are unlikely to associate the two.
Post COVID-19 infection was not associated with either myocarditis (aHR 1.08; 95% CI 0.45 to 2.56) or pericarditis (aHR 0.53; 95% CI 0.25 to 1.13). We did not observe an increased incidence of neither pericarditis nor myocarditis in adult patients recovering from COVID-19 infection.
I think it happens occasionally. My DIL's 18 year old nephew suddenly developed myocarditis and he was not vaccinated. His doctor said it was from getting COVID twice. Who knows if he had a genetic predisposition to it or if it really was from Covid. The vax was my first reaction, but it turns out his family was very anti vax. However, I also wonder if he was encouraged to take it at school and just didn't tell his parents.
All possible. So sorry! Post-viral myocarditis is not a new thing, and troponin bumps are common in the C cases. Not a stretch to believe that it can cause clinical disease. Best to you and yours! :)
Known in 2017 that Remdesivir increased mortality when it was tried for Ebola. But hey, “let’s not let all those R&D $ go to waste. Let’s use it in C.”
ACS Risk Biomarkers Significantly Increase After mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine; presented at the AHA ‘21. Immediate outcry from cardiologists world wide…oh, wait…
I mentioned it briefly that I could get her some alternative support. She's 37 years old. She knows. It's whether she will actually deal with it. I told her I am here for her if she needs me. All I can do right now. 😔
How many psychiatrists does it take to change a lightbulb? Only one but the lightbulb has to want to change. I'm very sorry for this young woman and millions more like her. You're truly a friend by just being there when she's ready to confront this.
I apologized to her as I said I should have put up a bigger fuss in her not getting the vaxx. I didn't want to ruin the friendship. I am like a mom figure to her. My own children I flat old told there will be fighting until one of us dies if they got the vaxx. Luckily they listened to me.
My son is head of a medical supply division. He told me, when I inquired, no one gets fired anymore. The slacker gets talked to and if he doesn’t get on board, he gets demoted to some other area. If he doesn’t like the demotion, he generally quits.
Why don't we put all of them, Biden, Feinstein, McConnell, etc in an eldercare for former politicians. They can go about their normal day just like they are still in office, a special mock government elder home. It would be awesome, everyone would be happy.
The old bag won't give up HER seat. As a Californian, I have written to her occasionally about various issues. Always got a canned response sent by a staffer, and it was always obvious my letter had not been read. The last time I emailed her about a veteran's issue several years ago, a few months later I received a canned response relating to an entirely different topic. I'm guessing the staffer pushed the button on the wrong topic response. So much for her. But now there is a power struggle going on...Pelosi wants the despicable Adam Schiff to get the seat, and apparently if Feinstein has to leave her seat early, Newsom has a black woman in mind to appoint to the seat. So Pelosi along with Feinstein's daughter are working to keep Feinstein upright and "voting" as she is told.
And this is why DeSantis needs to stay Governor of Florida! He is doing great things to protect the Constitutional Republic by showing competence and leadership here. He sets a much needed example to other governors who are spineless and weak. By dissing Floridians who elected him to prematurely run for president, and thereby owing his donors and their lobbyists to conform to their will, he does a disservice to the ones who elected him.
Great job DeSantis! Keep removing phony installed criminal powers that (shouldn’t) be! THIS is how you win! THIS is how you get known to be the greatest governor.
I believe Governor DeSantis IS doing his job of showcasing legitimate state power, granted by the US Constitution, and true leadership, while exposing the vile underbelly of the deep state, which has been slowly implanted in all local governments. WE the People need to take heed and pay more attention to those we continue to elect, many times blindly or without thought, wrongly believing the local governments of our communities don’t matter so much. We’re kept so distracted with the National Circus, that we’re allowing the progressive, Marxist criminals to sneak right in under our noses and infiltrate our very neighborhoods. This is our greatest danger and where we actually have some of our greatest power! Get informed! Get engaged!
I Absolutely agree! We don’t need him on the National stage right now. We need him as Governor so we can start local! What he is doing locally in Florida IS moving the needle! 👏 👏
I agree. The way he came out against funding Ukraine and then two days later back tracked and got back in line…..showed (among other things) that he is being directed. That’s a big fat 👎🏻
Doesn’t he see the large numbers of people researching every single thing he does and says? The old days of blind belief with politicians are over! We will search everything! We will call them out on every thing!!!
Interesting that he doesn’t have those restraints on what he’s doing in Florida, and yet on a national stage he’s being controlled. 🤨
Unfortunately, he is now caught in a trap. Those who control the purse strings control the narrative. I would be happy to see him drop out of the race and continue what he has begun in Florida. We need strong governors like him.
I think there are sone candidates waiting in the wings who could help turn this around, along with sone of the red state AGs who have been kicking butt lately.
"....Interesting that he doesn’t have those restraints on what he’s doing in Florida, and yet on a national stage he’s being controlled."
Remember, this is the race for the Rep convention's nomination. By running this race, DeSantis has gained national recognition and sets him up for 2028. The long term strategy here is important. Also, there are contingencies to think of if Trump is imprisoned by the Bolsheviks and unable to run. Not being independently funded like Trump, obviously his backers are going to expect a certain amount of control at this point. What he does after Trump wins the nomination however, is up to him. The RINOs may think they have DeSantis under control but I'm waiting to see what he does after the nomination.
Personally, I think DeSantis is way too smart to be "distracted". I think it is obvious that both he and Trump realize the magnitude of the threat to the country the Bolsheviks are and they are going to have to be cagey strategists to eject them from power.
Interesting perspective. I agree that we don’t know what might be going on behind the scenes, things very well might not be what they appear to be. Also, you’re right, if we pin all of our hopes on Trump, and for some reason he can’t run or serve, we need alternatives. And even if he does win, we need other people for after his term. We can’t just bet on one person to solve all of this mess.
Spoken by someone who has never been to a Trump rally, never heard of the unheralded things he has done and never listened to one of his speeches in it’s entirety. Spoken by someone who only knows the media’s edited version of the man. Nice try, but 74 million undisputed votes in 2020 speak volumes about what most people think of him.
I agree on term limits. Since we are making up a wish list, I would add an anti-career-in-politics law: No one gets elected to any public office unless they have NOT served in any government position, elected or appointed, for some prior period (say, two years).
I'm hoping that once the convention is over and the candidate selected, assuming Trump becomes the nominee, DeSantis will throw his weight and his base behind Trump and do everything he can to get the entire populist movement behind Trump. It's going to take everything we have to overcome the 2024 election cheat the Bolsheviks have planned. Everybody assumes Pedo Joe will not run for re-election. I think he will run and the Obama cheat team will put him back in office. The Bolsheviks are THAT close to consolidating their control of this country. If that happens, this conflict takes a dramatic turn. Look at the history of every country that ever been taken over by Communists to get an idea of what to expect.
Many of us here in south Florida who elected DeSantis do want him to be President! A close friend of mine just hosted a fundraiser for him at the new Four seasons hotel in Fort Lauderdale and she took her photo with him. She posted and got lots of positive reaction for his run. In my world, what I see is that many prefer DeSantis over Trump, but this group seems to prefer Trump.
A lot of people do prefer DeSantis. And that’s ok. Especially with the great job he did down there after the hurricane. He’s been a fantastic governor in a lot of ways. My son has met him and said he was really nice. I don’t even know that the C&C group as a whole prefers one over the other. I’ve discussed with many on here who, like you, prefer RD. I think ultimately we all have to unite behind whoever it ends up being to try and salvage America. 🤷♀️
Have you thought about what will happen to Florida if he does become president? Will the next governor undo all the good he has done? That would be a worry to me if I lived there.
To what have we descended? It is now documented that over $20 million has flowed into the various shell corporations of the demented, criminal, woke, pedophile, excuse for a president, along with his drug addled, criminal son. Our now banana republic rolls along merrily, as if everything were just hunky-dory.
I recall Bidumb was paying taxes ONLY on his income from his government paycheck.... not on the millions he got for "access." They showed his "tax returns" didn't they? I mean, we'd all be in jail with this DOJ, if we only paid taxes on our paychecks... Remember, they flag every cash transfer over $600.... Uncle Sam needs to go further than the front door with this bidumb regime.
This ismerely the standard operating procedure for all national elite leaders. Now go look at every war since 9/11 (and maybe all of them), every third world country that receives big financial aid support. Nine have good record keeping, all pay kickbacks. All ensure congressional kids and donors get no-work jobs for a million bucks. It's all a racket.
I wish ALL governors took their jobs of running their state seriously. It’s too bad right now Florida isn’t DeSantis’s sole focus. There is more work to be done in the sunshine state. ☀️
Sharon, do you remember Emmett Watson and his tirades against "Californication"? Who knew one of the biggest threats was born and raised in Seattle?
It used to be such a treat to go to Seattle for some event: a game (Seahawks, Mariners, Sonics, Sounders), exhibition (King Tut, Chihuly glass), performance: The Nutcracker!, comedians, bands, etc. Going to the Space Needle, Pacific Science Center, Seattle Aquarium, Woodland Park Zoo are all memorable "special treats" from my childhood.
Now, I only go into Seattle under duress (one parent has doctors on Seattle's Pill Hill, so can't exactly refuse in that situation).
In the last ten years I have noticed a personal phenomenom: when heading east on I-90, after we have cleared Snoqualmie Pass, I feel this huge weight lifting off of me and a sense that I can breathe deeply, fully, and more slowly. We have family in Eastern Washington and they say the same thing: after visiting us on the Western side, they feel like they can breathe easier once they get across the Pass.
It will probably never happen, but I think the whole Greater Idaho concept (Eastern Washington & Oregon join Idaho) is a fantastic idea. The I-5 corridor is ruined and I don't see how it is restored. The Eastern WA & OR folks have far more in common with most of Idaho (excluding Boise) than Seattle-Olympia and Portland-Salem folks. Although, to be fair, there are many small towns all along the I-5 corridor that would be glad to join an exodus from the tyranny that the metropolitan areas impose on everyone.
Maybe the thing to do is wall off the urban cesspools and let the rest of the state(s) go about their own business. If only! 😏
It will probably never happen that Eastern Oregon will join Idaho, but it sure sends a message doesn’t it?
Unfortunately Bend will never join the movement, my town has become woke! And I do worry that Boise is just a small Portland. They’ll soon control the state. 🥲
That scares me because I don’t want to be lumped in with Seattle. Maybe king county can be its own cesspool and the other counties can go with the East!
Yes! I do remember all of this as I was born and raised in King co. Used to be proud to say I was from ‘Seattle’ although I live in the suburbs. Now I apologize for living in a county that has been overtaken by people who do not have the same nostalgia for this region. But Washington is my home and I remain to try to be the salt and light to those around me.
I don’t know why NYS can’t get themselves together. If this keeps up they will wind up being worse than CA. Their tax base is dwindling and I don’t see that turning around. 🤷♀️
I grew up on LI. It’s turning into a shithole. I hate going back there. After having left 8 years ago, I can’t remember why I used to like it so much. I commuted to NYC which is now a war zone. The big apple has rotted. 😞
Because my rural NYS former neighbors don't vote. Too busy farming. And now, it appears it's a little too late. When I left, the only liberal hellholes were the five cities. Buff,Rochester, Syracuse,Binghamton, and Nyc. Now it appears the finger lakes area has turned into the enclave of the ultra left. Literally the counties surrounding every one of those cities were republicans,and in the case of Rochester, even Monroe county was republicans hard core. I don't think it's the same any longer. I left thirteen years ago. I fit in here in Florida. If you could get the ny farmers to vote, you would never see another democrat elected except in those cities, thanks to burn loot and murder. But they will not vote! Makes me nuts.
Aided and abetted by Bob Ferguson AG, who will probably be elected next, if Inslee doesn't run for a 4th term (he says he won't, but I will believe it when I see it). I am at the point where I think there should be term limits for everyone, from the president down to the school boards and dogcatchers. (With the possible exception of Sheriff Grady Judd down in Florida - his news conferences crack me up!)
Ah, Bob Ferguson. He to whom I wrote during the Richland Flower Shop debacle, wherein he threw the power of his office upon proprietor Barronelle Stuzman, hitting her with a lawsuit for declining to provide flowers for the “wedding” of two men when the ink was barely dry on the new law in Washington allowing gay “marriage.”
I know Barronelle personally. Her story never changed. She knew this couple and had met their floral needs for ten years. She hired gay people to work in her store. When one of the betrothed couple approached her about the “wedding,” she declined because of her religious beliefs. He told her he understood, they hugged, he asked for recommendations for other florists which she gave, and that was that, an exchange between two mature adults.
Until he mentioned casually on social media his disappointment that he couldn’t have the florist of his choice. Vitriol and condemnation were heaped upon Ms. Stutzman, the social media denizens stoked the previously nonexistent ire of the gay couple, posthaste notified AG Ferguson of this terrible travesty, and TWO lawsuits were filed, one from the State and one from the previously tolerant gay couple. Ms. Stutzman fought this case for years, and to keep her business going she had to give up doing flowers for weddings. If you don’t do weddings, apparently people can’t sue you. Only if you don’t do gay ones.
The thought of Ferguson as Governor is chilling. But unless we fix voter fraud, it’s almost an inevitability, despite the scandal surrounding his office currently, relating to withheld evidence.
And we will never fix voter fraud until we do away with mail-in ballots and have same day, voter i.d., hand-counted elections. And they will never do that.
And your neighbor to the south, Oregon, is seemingly following suit as seen in the news coming out of Portland lately. Well, the Marxists have good taste. They only invade and over run the most beautiful states.
Reminds me of the scene in Maverick between Mel Gibson's and Graham Greene's characters where Maverick compliments Joseph on the beautiful setting in which they are camped and Joseph replies that every time they find a new location to their liking, the whites come and drive them off of it. He says the next time he is going to find a swamp to settle in and then maybe they will be left alone.
The Pacific Northwest was a wonderful place to grow up. No longer.
Well yes, conservative Oregon is hanging on for dear life. Here in southern Oregon, Jackson County has three county commissioners, always conservative. So the liberals want to make it a five person commission and they’re going to be spending a lot of money in the next election to make it so.
And we know there is a seemingly endless supply of $$ coming from George Soros. Until the almighty dollar is no longer their god, people will not change.
—“Even more disgusting, Worrell also strictly limited the number of child porn charges that her prosecutors could allege, regardless of the facts or how much child porn was discovered in each case.”
Huh and her district includes Orlando you said?? 🤔
Good to see these people being removed from office and unable to continue their detrimental practices!
With regard to the HHS/Becerra claim about boosters, WHY can’t these people and entities be prosecuted and punished for lying or for making potentially harmful recommendations with zero evidence to back them up??? When they get caught, all we get is a shrug of their shoulders and oops 🤷♀️😡
Lol the flying car was definitely NOT what I was expecting to read! 😆😁
RL, there's a thing called "sovereign immunity." Coming out of English common law, it prevented the "commoners" from suing the king -- even if the king committed an unlawful act against them (Yet 𝒂𝒏𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 reason the Declaration of Independence was earth-shattering...).
The prevaricating parasite FDA attorney just invoked "sovereign immunity" in the Bowden, Marik, et.al. case currently in the Southern District. "Oh, we lied about Ivermectin? Oh, well, sovereign immunity. Nothing you can do about it." So, there's your answer re Becerra, et.al. -- in addition to PREP!
So we just kept that part of English law? I find that incomprehensible. I’d like to know what can be done about it. Otherwise, what makes us any different than a feudal system or an aristocracy? I thought (though I know lots of people have been flouting the principle lately) that in our society, no one was supposed to be above the law?
To your point about inheriting this from English common law, a quote from the above article, "The principle of sovereign immunity in US law was inherited from the English common law maxim rex non potest peccare, meaning “the King can do no wrong,” as proclaimed by King Charles I in 1649. “No earthly power can justly call me, who am your king, in question as a delinquent,” he explained. Proponents of royal supremacy had seen in that maxim proof that kings were not only legally unaccountable but actually above the law."
Can you imagine? "The king can do no wrong." SMDH.
This FDA attorney may have actually raised a very, very interesting question by opening her mouth about this "doctrine." I'd love for Jeff to weigh in on this.
I think these are clear cut cases of government officials being guilty of treason and are the true leaders of a silent insurrection against us. They should all be tried for treason and duly sentenced
“Speaking of failing public officials, aging Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Ca.), was briefly hospitalized after taking a tumble in her San Francisco home, right before she was scheduled to give a speech about her memories of being a Senator during the French-American War. Okay, I made up that last part.”
Hahaha! Brilliant. Amazing how these aged politicians cling to power like a spider on a windshield. They WILL NOT LET GO no matter what.
How is it that incompetent people with nefarious motives continue to be elected and reelected? Something is very wrong about a system that permits this. Either the people are apathetic and stupid, or the so-called media are failing to investigate and report on the competency and prior performance of these people. I am going to bet on both!
Thankfully, a governor with some spine has applied the available, check and balance to protect us. Thank you, Gov!
I think a lot of those positions are not well known of understood because people focus on the bigger offices like mayor or senator or governor. They don’t do their research and just vote along party lines. Fewer people vote in non presidential years and in primary or local elections.
Most people skip voting for judges. In the last election I looked up every single one and if appointed, who appointed them. It was very telling. I felt confident in my votes. Every one Obama appointed was a hell no. If the judiciary hadn’t stopped mandatory vaccines we’d all be jabbed or living off grid. After all, Noam Chomsky didn’t think we should have the right to buy food. Never forget!
I looked up every single judge too, but could find nothing on them (state/local elections). Maybe I just don’t know how to do the research (not that great with technology), but I couldn’t find anything.
Worse, I actually dated (for about a month) a Superior Court Judge and he was a complete freak! If anyone had any idea what these types of people are like, they’d be much more circumspect.
I must stand up for the citizens! In Oregon 2020 election, our Elections Director was fired when he publicly stated that our election technology is old and hackable.
Well shoot, they had to get rid of him, their method for winning elections was under attack!
People are apathetic and stupid. In some districts you have mostly people who "earned" their high school diploma in an urban school district. Which essentially means they showed up a few times and didn't kill anyone. They vote for the people who will give them "free stuff." And the media fails to report any of this fairly or accurately, instead ignoring coverage of it completely or - more recently - reframing it as everyone else's fault. Lather, rise, repeat. The cycle of violence, crime, and grift continues. (Sorry, feeling salty today lol.)
🗨 During Coronamania, the government and the media not only deemed hypochondria and germophobia acceptable; they evilly, actively sold these fears to a baseline-anxious populace.[...] Most people lost their grip on reality and bought an obvious scam.
H/t Mark Oshinskie of Dispatches from a Scamdemic for bestest observational summary, short of delving into tangled messy mesh of idiosyncratic motives on all societal levels 😊
😊 Back in early 2020, I created a folder on my hard drive with that label. Subfolders include "Vaccines" and "Letters." Lots of content saved there going all the way back to the beginning of the (very obvious) crime.
I can't imagine what will happen when it's proven that the virus, and the ensuing death jabs, were all intentional, and agreed upon by pelosi and Obeyme. The two that approved it. Jarrett's the brains behind it. And amazing to me how they were able to find enough corrupt governors to change their states election laws illegally, just to cheat. Wow. They're all gonna be dead and gone, but it's gonna come out one day.
The "popular vote that put the person in office in the first place" was made with the understanding that the elected official would act in a certain manner. Removing someone after they were voted in is not necessarily subverting the will of the people. Even those who voted for the official may have changed their minds based on the person's performance.
"Does anyone else suspect that one reason we are ten seconds away from war with every other world superpower is because the average age of our federal ruling class is 103? How can a Senator who falls down hold up the country — in wartime?"
I think you might have the causation backward. We are constantly at war and standing on the precipice of WW3 b/c we have a government full of people who have been getting rich off war for half a century. Like - the exact same people - and their families - for a half century or more. Need a new summer home? Start a war. Need a new yacht? Start a war. Grandkids need tuition for the private school? Start a war. Want your son-in-law's company to succeed? Start a war. Your stock portfolio tanking? Start a war. Literally everything you see and hear, including the culture war noise, is about aiding and abetting this unlawful (and, frankly, evil) dynamic. Covid was ultimately about war. It's grift on a multinational scale. It's extremely lucrative and these elderly dementia patients running the show refuse to give it - and their access to it - up.
I’m old enough to remember when politicians feared being perceived as “soft on crime.” Now, that appears to be a prerequisite for Democrats, who have taken the bleeding-heart cliché to homicidal levels.
NOTE the header on the NBC News story : Guns in America. This is an effort to ensure a steady diet of tragic deaths and violence that can be used to gin up support for gun restrictions. Let the violent offenders go and then blame guns for the mayhem that ensues.
When DeSantis gets done firing Soros backed prosecutors in FL, we have one for him in MO too. Although she has announced she is not running in 2024, so suppose there will be one even to the left of her to take her place, as our area's record murder rate hasn't yet led to citizens asking for gun control. But out ailing local rag newspaper has gotten a grant from some leftist non profit to report on 'guns in America'. I am sure ours is not unique. Too bad no one reads it anymore except maybe my 84 YO mom.
As a 12-year-old, I threw a paper route for Tulsa's afternoon paper (those were the days - TWO major newspapers in many cities.) The Tulsa Tribune, alas, is long gone.
The morning paper, the Tulsa World, was always less conservative than the Tribune. But these things are relative of course. The World as well as OKC's formerly very conservative Daily Oklahoman are extremely liberal now in a "shut-up-and-listen-to-your-betters" kind of way.
Every once in a while, I will see the The Tulsa World laying on someone's driveway. It's pathetic - probably less than 20 pages, and most of that is advertising.
I'm waiting for the day it goes under and the uber-woke reporters have to find real jobs.
Jeff did a story well over a year ago about the left propping up legacy media with grants, and ever since have kept my eye out for that. As just like any grant, the grant recipient generally has guidelines in regards to how they use the money.
Yes, KC used to have 2 newspapers as well. I am old school and did like reading the paper every morning, years ago they used to have good coverage of local news, events, and even a business section. Ignored the national stuff, but after Ferguson the racing baiting and 'in depth stories' around social justice narrative was the last straw. Could no longer support that rag in good conscience. My mom still gets it as she is liberal so I page through the shell of what is left. Very little news other than AP, Wapo and NYT reprints after the handful of local narrative stories. She 'saves me' stories from their guns in America series so she can tell me that Republicans don't care if people are dying. I do read them, good to know what the left is up to. Gist of the stories is always pull on heartstrings over rational data and policy discussion.
I suspect that this is true of all big American cities. When I was growing up in the Detroit area, there was a genuine rivalry between the Detroit Free Press and Detroit News. The Free Press tended to be progressive, the News was more conservative. Both papers were excellent. My Dad was a Democrat who worked for the Free Press and proudly toed the paper's progessive line.
The downfall, at least in Detroit, began after a newspaper strike in the mid-80s which resulted in the papers entering into a Joint Operating Agreement. They became the same paper for all intents and purposes with the exception of independent editorial boards.
Interestingly, the Free Press (they started calling it the 'Freep' to make it sound hip) and the News are still around. The Free Press has lurched far-left while the News still feigns being "conservative". Both have limited value as sources for local news.
Closer examination of both papers - like the vast majority of major dailies - reveals an alignment on ultimate issues which is to be expected from any major daily owned by Gannet or MediaNews Group. In the end, they serve the same interests. It's like choosing between Pravda and Izvestiya for news and editorial perspective.
"The downfall, at least in Detroit, began after a newspaper strike in the mid-80s which resulted in the papers entering into Joint Operating Agreement. They became the same paper for all intents"
That's EXACTLY what happened to Tulsa's two competing papers.
I don't remember what precipitated the 2 KC papers becoming one paper but the project Mockingbird style of narrative adherence is probably consistent across most big cities' 'newspaper of record'.
Interestingly, a couple of groups of former KC Star reporters have banded together to create what I am pretty sure are online only news sites. Every once in a while I will log on if there is a big local story. Not necessarily 100% down with the narratives, but still a detectible leftist slant. And there is a right leaning guy who has a successful blog site for covering the behind the scenes skullduggery and drama at city hall, not sure how he gets paid as there are no ads and no option to subscribe with a paid subscription.
But getting truly local news is a challenge, have to go to a mish mash of sites and even then a lot is missing. Local TV news is no better. Hubby still tunes in occasionally for sports and weather as he gets ready in the morning but there is a lot of fluff and little depth. It makes it tough around election time as too many people really are not aware of the issues.
When I was in high school in the 1960s, Sacramento CA had two newspapers: The Democrat leaning Sacramento Bee, and the conservative Republican leaning Sacramento Union. The Union was delivered in the morning, the Bee in the late afternoon. My parents subscribed to both, so I spent all those years reading two points of view on a daily basis. All that reading not only stimulated my interest in events and politics from a fairly young age, it was also very valuable in teaching me to approach media reports with a wary and often skeptical eye. I'm very grateful for that early exposure to two points of view. When elections rolled around, I always knew that the Bee would be recommending a mostly Democrat slate of candidates, and the Union would mostly recommend Republicans. The differences in the two parties was distinct even at that point in time. Eventually (not sure when), the Union ceased publication although the Bee is still around spouting the leftist party line with no opposition.
I was a political nerd from a young age, but my dad was very involved in the D party. My 5th grade teacher put me in charge of the current events bulletin board and so would read the papers every day and cut out articles to put up. I think my inflection point was Ross Perot. I loved his charts and graphs, and 30 minute commercials and had several months between jobs that summer and volunteered for his campaign. Loved that he talked about the deficit. I actually wrote a term paper on that in HS. Perot started my questioning everything. And I still hate the deficit spending!
I used to read that paper too when we lived in KC (maybe we only got the Sunday edition though, can’t remember). We used to get the paper here too (and like you, I always enjoyed reading a real newspaper) but they got more and more woke and spout the same sanctimonious garbage as all the others, so we quit subscribing after a few years.
Epoch times to the modern rescue!!
Kansas City had a twice daily paper from the earliest I remember (early 70s). When were the Times and Star actually separate papers?
I was not sure, I remember as a kid that one came in the morning, and the other in the late afternoon, my parents subscribed to both. Got curious and looked it up - they were actually both owned by the same group, and were employee owned until 1977. I just assumed they were separate! The Times ended in 1990, which was later than I remember, but I left for college in 1983, and didn't start getting a newspaper again until after I graduated and had money but only remember getting one a day. https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Kansas_City_Times
I can see where it would look like they were two different papers, with different names. The Star bought the Times back in 1901 - a little before my time...
Similar situation here in little ole Northwest super conservative Florida. The local paper was part of a conservative network that was eventually sold to a larger conglomerate and each sale saw it drift further to the left. It is mostly USA Today and AP now. I only subscribe to the digital version for the funnies, obits and crossword puzzle and skip over the propaganda. I really do miss the columns by Dr. Thomas Sowell and Dr. Walter Williams. So much wisdom and common sense there.
Yes, I hung on to our paper for way too long as at least the opinion page has a couple of conservative opinion columns every day I enjoyed although there were 4-5 leftist ones and letters to the editor published from conservatives were few and far between.
I know about that liberal/leftist rag.
People have to line the kid’s
hamster cages with something.
Call Gov Parson’s office and share the DeSantis success in getting rid of these leftist prosecutors! Follow up with the article in an email!
I have done that a few times on issues and all I get is a form letter email in reply. He is not running again and does not stick his neck out.
He won't do anything. Not running again so his "aw shucks" style of governing stays until he is gone. Bill Eigel would go on a tear, though.
I don't trust Eigel. He was one of the obstructionists around the 7-1 map debacle that ensured Senate gridlock the entire 2022 session. He spoke at a local We the People group I belong to last year and when I called him out on the bills that failed to pass he waved me off and said gridlock is a good thing. Told me afterwards when I had him one on one when I made some very specific points around bills that should have passed, and one of his remarks was 'the people need a savior'. I told him, no the people need to engage and save themselves. This year he spoke at a different group and I asked him how we can roll back Prop C (the initiative petition-led amendment that passed in 2008 that required 15% of energy from 'green' sources by 2021) to help reduce spiking energy prices. He didn't even know what Prop C was. I don't like Kehoe (Parson clone) or Ashcroft (soft on voter fraud) either, hoping there is a 4th choice. Although the last I heard a couple of weeks ago, Kehoe has a huge war chest and is raising a lot of money so it's a battle against the RINOs.
Yeah, that savior comment is way out of line. That's this country's big problem. We are always looking for a savior to deliver us instead of delivering ourselves. I actually agree that gridlock is good. The less bills the government passes the safer we are. ;) Forget Kehoe. I'm not sure about Ashcroft. He always says the right things but you know how that goes. We have a big RINO problem in MO, for sure!
Well, I was standing there by myself, and so it would be his word against mine, but definitely rubbed me the wrong way. He reminds me a lot of Eric Greitens - knows how to fire up a roomful of people, but not good at governing, as its all about him being in the limelight. I agree in principle about the gridlock, but things like a parents bill of rights, a bill that would stop a landfill in our area, HB 1169 that would force labeling of MRNA in food, and a bill that would reign in what I call medical kidnapping (Children's Mercy gets CPS involved and takes kids away from parents who disagree with them) were all casualties of this year's gridlock, among other things.
All of this is interesting. Thanks.
Donna and Amy, I agree with both of you for the most part. There are a lot of RINOS in MO; Gov. Parsons is not a strong leader and certainly not going to step outside the box. HB1169, Informed Consent Labeling (regarding mRNA in food products) was introduced by Rep. Holly Jones and opposed by lobbyists and it died in committee. My rep, Sherri Gallick opposed the bill…her biggest donors were lobbyists. Brenda Shields, Mike Haffner, Dale Wright were some of the GOP against this great bill. Rep. Boggs sponsored HB336 “Required Immuunization Liability Act” which affirms that any employer that requires immunization to work is liable for damages or injury resulting from that immunization. This bill is on hold.
Also, Rep. Bill Hardwick introduced an amendment that would have changed the statute requiring children to be vaccinated for specific diseases in order to attend school. It passed the House but the amendment was removed when the bill went to a committee in the Senate.
The Missouri Budget bill costs us taxpayers 49 Billion dollars, the biggest budget in the states history, including a 9% raise for state workers, of which there are a lot. Senator Rick Brattin voted against the bloated bill.
There’s definitely a need for more strong, true conservatives in our state! Also not a fan of Kehoe or Ashcroft!
Yes, for a R super-majority MO sure has a lot of crappy outcomes in the legislature, and Parson gets part of the blame. And the lobbyists run Jeff City for sure, and I think term limits are partly to blame. Too many rookies, that are impressionable, too few seasoned members who know how to get things done. Everyone rushing to make a name for themselves before they term out and getting along be damned. Seems like the R's fight each other more than they fight the D's....Made a lot of phone calls and emails on Holly Jones' bill to the Emerging Issues committee, to no avail.
At least they are FINALLY expanding 1-70.
It's all propaganda, all the time. Once you see it, you see how pervasive it is.
Yep it is really all about the gun issue. I noted immediately in Jeff's story that the people always had guns. Were they legally obtained guns? I doubt it. I'd like to see stats on the number of legally obtained guns used in crimes. Unfortunately, the school shooters usually have legal guns but I doubt most of the thugs on the street do.
That is why they sensationalize school shootings. Because those heinous crimes are committed with mostly legal guns so it fits their narrative unless the crime was done by a leftist and a legal gun, then it’s because that person was marginalized.
Even then it is never reported as a leftist/psychopath on Rx drugs and under psychiatric treatment/transgender, ever.
And we have found out that the last, what.....5 shootings were trans..../on psycho drugs......right?
I think the Psych drugs are a BIG factor in this. My husband has stayed involved with his fraternity/alumni group through the years. Remember in the mid 90's, meeting a young man who was in college in this fraternity who seemed very personable, no red flags about him. A few months later he shot and killed a professor, made national headlines and at the time was noted he had been on Prozac, and there was a lot of discussion on the role of psych meds on violent behavior. Now you never hear anything about the meds they are on....
The “privacy” thing used as a shield from probing questions, just like with the jabs…
I believe this but it IS also a “mass shooting” which is far scarier than a single person murder or random gun violenece on one person.
And yet they say zip about the black youths in Chicago getting murdered.
Great points.
Which prosecutor? I'm in Lawrence, KS and follow KCMO some. The one in St. Louis is out, isn't she?
Jean Peters Baker in KC. Not sure if she was Soros funded but KC has a pretty robust D machine that guarantees D's are entrenched. At least south of the river, KC is also in Clay County and they do elect some R's there. Baker is very soft on crime, though, and has a terrible record. The police can't stand her. She had a R opponent in 2020 who lost, Tracy Chappell, who was the city prosecutor for Blue Springs, but she has partnered with some other attorneys and practices, among other things. 'covid law' and helped people fight mandates so far as I know she is not running this time. Baker announced in June she is not running again, I assume there is an heir-apparent, but so far, no one has gone public. And yes, Kim Gardner in St. Louis WAS Soros-funded, and resigned this spring as AG Andrew Bailey was investigating her so she quit, calling it all racism, of course.
only the bleeding hearts are the citizens they are supposed to protect
Yeah you can tell they really take that Black Lives Matter message to heart—in the case of the criminals but not the innocent 😕
I guess that 9 year old black girl, a victim from those criminals which I included the former da, wasn't a black life who mattered. But then again BLM stands for Big Luxurious Mansions.
her death is tragic but still blamed on results of systemic institutionalized racism and the legacy of slavery, the killers of color always get a pass and Whitey the boogeyman and the 2nd Amendment get the blame--maybe even Climate Change is a factor and lack of mental health resources too
Exactly 😡
Apparently so.
Or while dems support abortion through nine months gestation, which we know ENDS black lives disproportionately to other races. (Check NYC abortion stats) But their own hypocrisy eludes them.
Yup. Accurate.
Remember how infuriated they get when someone says “All Lives Matter”. BLM was a shame from the start.
I searched raw police footage of every incident they complained about in 2020 and the police were usually right... not always.
But the way the incidents were presented by the race-baiters and MSM was never accurate. They really were supporting criminals over victims and not even trying to hide it.
That is what demonic Soros wants. If it is that way only for certain racial profiles, that is even worse. It may be fomenting more racism in the country, sadly.
Yes! And in light of that, why does anybody vote for these people anymore??
I’m old enough to remember that and I’m not that old!
Those removals are a big part of the reasons I'd really prefer DeSantis to stay as governor in Florida. I can't imagine _anyone_ following in his footsteps and doing this sort of thing. Yes, he's showing other states 'this _can_ be done" but even here in Texas ... it ain't being done. These sorts of people who are actively defying their duty and responsibility in the name of their own personal brand of "justice" need to go.
Over and over Ron has been leading the way for all sorts of things that we've generally said we want, but most of those in politics just ignore. Now that we see that these things are possible and even being done, what other governor will step up and do the same thing?
DeSantis should stay governor of Florida and run for President in 2028.
Thank You!!! I'm actually working on an article on why I DON'T want DeSantis (Or RFK) to win the Presidency. I'd prefer him to stay here as well and continue to the work he's started and make Florida one of the best states (and a model to other states.) I think that would be the bigger win vs trying to change the entire country, which would be impossible since it would include so many fights with the powers that be:

No one seems to realize that Governor’s who do the right thing have more power then the President. If we had great Governor’s in 50 states it wouldn’t matter too much who was President.
I wish I could recall the discussion taking place in commentary on various sites about how the states are *supposed* to have more power under the Constitution...it appears a huge part of the problem is states don’t want to give up federal funding, which always comes with strings attached.
Sundance over at the Conservative Treehouse has an excellent post on the ineffectiveness of sanctions against Russia. Apparently Russia is actually quite self-sufficient. There’s a difference between a production economy and a service economy, which is what the US has become. What if US state leaders focused on strengthening their internal economies and weaned themselves off the feds? What if?
Just for foreign policy.

Governors need to have house/senate support to get anything done. IL has occasionally had a Repub governor, but without a majority in either the house or senate, he/she is little more than a grand marshall in the 4th of July parade.
But only for 2 more years. Florida needs a back up plan asap
Patronis?
If I didn't have to commute to Tally I'd be game to take over lol
I have heard Byron Donalds is considering a run for Fl governor
A girl on Instagram posted to RFK jr's post yesterday that she, a democrat, has been receiving solicitations for donations to NOT allow RFK to be on the ticket!
I agree.
RFK would make a great Director or Deputy Director of CIA. I wonder how quickly the JFK files wound be released?
So right, Peter. I've said a thousand times that if DeSantis had true discernment and an understanding of how this republic might be saved, he'd have known it won't happen via the crime syndicate's headquarters. It'll happen state by state, county by county, town by town.

Exactly Peter Schott! You beat me to making this exact point. DeSantis is Far more effective, not only in FL, but by showing other Governors what they “could/should” be doing. Can we even imagine the impact of every conservative governor doing the same? I’m disappointed in Abbott acting so much like an establishment RINO.
Indeed, what other governor? Sadly, Texas Gov Abbott appears to be controlled opposition. He talks a good line for the cameras but he has done NOTHING to close his border. Think what would have happened if Kari Lake had not been cheated out of the election for Arizona Governor. She would have declared an invasion, called out the Guard and closed the AZ border. Having done that, Texas and NM would have to follow suit. The DC communists couldn't have that so they blatantly and openly did everything possible to get Hobbs elected from her basement and STILL no one has gone to jail and STILL the election has not been overturned. We are on the razor's edge of losing this country entirely to the Bolshevik pedo Communists.
The Supreme Court is going to hear a case challenging Biden's new tax law that would tax the "unrealized" gains of potentially everything you own (and what HASN'T gone up in value due to gov't inflation?). If the Supreme Court does not rule that unConstitutional, all ownership in this country is effectively transferred to the USG thus eliminating all private ownership. The razor's edge.
What supreme court case is this?
Supreme Court Will Hear Case Targeting Tax On Unrealized Gains
The Supreme Court has added a new tax case to its docket for the 2023-24 term: Moore v. United States. As a result, the Court will consider whether a relatively new tax—the "mandatory repatriation tax"—created under a provision of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is unconstitutional under the Sixteenth Amendment. The case could have significance for future taxes, including the much-discussed tax on unrealized gains aimed at the uber-wealthy.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/kellyphillipserb/2023/06/26/supreme-court-will-decided-whether-taxing-unrealized-gains-is-unconstitutional/?sh=2ae89cc214fe
Every new tax is sold as a tax on the wealthy. But you know how that story goes. The wealthy find a way out of the tax and the tax is levied on the middle class. For example, how much "unrealized gain" does the middle class own in the equity of their homes. If income tax was applied to that, how many people could afford to cough up a 20% tax on their homes equity that increased over their original purchase price by inflation?
Make no mistake. The Dem Bolsheviks are desperate to generate new tax revenues and they will crush the middle class to do it.
Bringing much truth to “you will own nothing and will be glad about it” Under the NWO. :(
Exactly. You will still live in your home but the Govt will own it.

I was about to post the same thing. We NEED DeSantis to stay Governor in Florida for the next 4 years at least!!! (I live in KY, but he is not only showing other Governors how it’s done, he showing VOTERS how it should be done.
I agree, the DC Swamp would thwart DeSantis at every turn. He can be much more effective in Florida. The DC Swamp deserves Donald Trump, for eight more years.
Right on, Gov DeSantis is showing other governors how it should be done. But the critical next step is that we need to make our Republican governors accountable to it. No, wait that was too soft. We need to demand that they be accountable to it. Get some citizen, action going!
The demo governors are all "party line" people. I suppose they get lots of kick backs from George and his ilk. We must stay informed and VOTE.
I believe we should always exercise our right to vote no matter what. However, during 2020, many cheating efforts were PROVED by citizens' testimonies, surveillance videos, big tech/gov supression and manipulation, research data, and ON-LINE Dominion.
Our government has NOT fixed or even acknowledged in court, the issues raised about the wide spread cheating. Am I wrong?
I feel votes are NOT valid and our republic is an illusion.
How can we be sure our vote counts?
We can be sure it was/is manipulated, corrupted, supressed, open to interference, insecure, underreported, invalidated, and was/is accessible to foreign entities.
Our votes have been overwhelmed by the cheat and they will do it again. If...Americans get riled up enough to swamp the polls on election day for one candidate, MAYBE we could overwhelm the cheat. 2024 is going to be interesting. If they still manage to control the election, I don't know HOW the American people will react this time. Third time's the charm?
Yes, too many people are closely watching... We definitely should vote on the day of, BUT they can still change the vote in real time individually AND these swing state/counties are corrupt. They can upload whatever data numbers they want and manipulate the real data in the meantime. Then, courts will refuse to look at the proof after the fact.
Am I missing something? I am just a regular person so I don't know how everything in politics work, but I know enough to question its integrity after what I saw in 2020.
Only 3% stood up to England. I think there may be more now but not much. Most people don’t care as long as they have Netflix and football.
Bread and circuses, Folks.
I agree 100%. He is needed more in Florida, setting the example for other conservative states. We need to change the direction of the nation, and that will happen state by state. He has made a good start on that and needs to continue. The cabal in DC will just chew him up and spit him out. He has more power as a governor at this point, and he has more influence as a governor. I was sad when he chose to run for president because I believe God put him in Florida for such a time as this.
I know our Alabama governor surely isn’t. Bless her heart.
Especially like: Bless her heart.
While I understand the selfish reasons to want DeSantis to stay in FL, he'd be a much more effective President than Trump, AND he can put an end to all of the drama for Trump as well. Trump has been incompetent and/or complicit in too many policies that favor the left, particularly in his appointments, which ironically are part of the reason he's not sitting in the Oval office today. I was dumbfounded when people thought that swamp rat Bill Barr was going to be some kind of "savior", when he's never been anything more than a shill for the Deep State and all of its transgressions (Ruby Ridge/Lon Horiuchi, anyone?). And Trump is still shilling for Big Pharma, more than a year after the Pfizer docs revealed what they knew and when they knew it. The biggest crime against humanity in world history, and he won't acknowledge it or have any empathy for the injured and dead from this fraud, and on his last day in office, he actually rewarded the people he placed and/or kept in positions of authority who did this to us. All of the lawfare nonsense is just a distraction and a tactic to get more people blindly behind Trump so that he's "our" candidate, and they will take him down with his own stupidity. I'm praying for lots more people to wake up and see it.
Amen!
No. He’s already proven he is not ready.
Be specific. How exactly has he proven that? So far, I don't see him making any of the stupid appointments mistakes as Trump, or any of the other betrayals as noted above.
It sure won't be in Ohio with the RINO governor Mike DeWhiner
Nor in Indiana with RINO second term Hol-scum 😡
I agree.

Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with incorruptible love.

Janice, you may be the only bible people read today
Yikes, I better step up my game. 😱❤️
I'd say you're doing just fine.
Agreed!
You are posting the word of God! There is no upping your game. I'd say you nail it every post.
And I'd be right. haha.
This bunch of C&Cers is just the best group of thinking, encouraging people!
Janice, I would say you have found a ministry inside a ministry. I write down many of your posts, they seem to line up perfectly with my life. Well, duh, that's God. Thank you- sincerely.
That is confirmation to me that when we listen, God speaks. He leads me down what seem to be rabbit trails, but I have learned there is always a treasure at the end. God bless you.
Stay exactly like you Janice 😘🤗
I always look forward to your posts Janice. Thank you!
Janice, you dont know how very much I needed these words today. I am going to write this verse down and carry it with me today. It will probably be a rough day. My sister is likely to become another jab related statistic.
Debbie, I had the passage ready yesterday, but then I slept longer. Today when I opened my eyes, I saw the telegram notification that Jeff had just posted today’s newsletter. So that is why you saw it today. Such a sweet Lord we have!
Praying for her and for you...may you feel God near.
Debbie, so very sorry. May His peace encompass you and hold you up.
Debbie, I'm sorry to hear that. May you have all that you need, today & in the days ahead.
Debbie, Praying for you and your sister today.
When my mom was sick I prayed two verses, sang them, screamed them... Here is one:
"So do not fear, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. - Isaiah 41:10. It didn't come to my mind and I didn't (on the day I wrote it down) come from my reading of the Bible. I was listening to Christian radio during a Q and A show. Point being God gets you the comfort, solace you need and lets you know that he is there to hold you up with his righteous hand.
Another verse written and in my pocket today. Thank you...
Who knew an online blog (substack) could be so comforting when grieving. Thank you Jesus.
❤️✞
Prayers for your sister Debbie. I'm so sorry.
Oh dear. ;( Please let us know. 🫂
Praying for your sister and for you 🙏
Beautiful words.
A friend of mine told me she had a not so good ekg, her words, and the doctors said maybe even had a heart attack. She did get the vaxx. She caved to the pressure but didn't really want to get it. As we are talking, I said to her that it is quite possible this is due to the vaxx. She should tell the doctors she got it. She hesitated. I said it is now known all these side effects of the vaxx. I dropped it as I could see she did not want to deal with the possibility of a vaxx injury and the horrible consequences from it and her decision to just get it. This is the state of affairs I face with the vaxxed at work and in my daily life. Sad 😔 it should have never happened.
My neighbor who is 75-80 yrs young (she looks like maybe 60!) is a really nice lady. One recent day two of us neighbors were talking and it morphed into vaccines and how they’ve all been a scam from the beginning and then we continued to discuss all things about politics and the great awakening 😳. She said she got two of the jabs. We advised her not to get anymore. I mentioned the flccc website if she was concerned and wanted to detox from it. She is a conservative, but I didn’t really know how much she KNEW. I felt convicted later for steamrolling over the poor lady in our discussion as if she knew all that me and my neighbor had known through years of research. I went to her house a couple days later to apologize for dumping a lot of information on her that she didn’t previously know. Her response was gracious. “You both did your research….I just trusted the government.” She said.
Although steamrolling over someone with a lot of new information is not necessarily the way to go, it was good that she realized the most important thing and I don’t think she will be trusting the government from now on. And now there’s an open door if she has questions moving forward. 🤷♀️ Little by little, right?
I inadvertently got into a vax discussion with a friend who has had 3. As I was talking I saw a dismayed look on her face. Her daughter is a traveling nurse and it was obvious that she’d hadn’t heard any of the facts I was discussing. It was sad really. I just tried to reassure her and dropped the subject. Also, recently my adult daughter was telling that the vaxx was safer than her birth control because her birth control has warnings on it but there are no warnings on the shot. Her fiancé was advised to get the shots even though he’d had a heart attack at 26! Neither of them are in great health. What have we done to the next generation? My heart aches.
No warnings? They just didn’t print the insert. “Intentionally left blank”!
You’d think that, in and of itself, would spark a modicum of suspicion or skepticism. When does a product NOT have some kind of warning on it nowadays???
Not only did they trust the government, they trusted their doctors. This is even more heartbreaking. The people they have entrusted their health to; the ones they believed had the knowledge, wisdom and understanding to rightly guide them, did not even do their own research.
AND when you tried to give the doctors the information they acted all weary like "not another imbecile trying to school the master". My husband had to school his obnoxious cousin who is a doctor. She did not understand what she was recommending to her patients. She had no idea about what was in the jab or how it worked. He made her listen. It was uncomfortable.
Good for him!!
Raptor - did the cousin seem to be open to this info?
No. But she sat quietly in front of her whole family while he talked. Initially, she threw a fit because we were there at her sister's house after having spent the whole day with her sick father while we were dangerous;y unjabbed. I think nobody stands up to her because she is a bully. But my husband is a reserved man who is well respected in his wider family. She listened. She didn't change.
All we can do is plant the seeds and hope they take root.
Your husband sounds like a wonderful man - If she listened, she now has his words ringing in her ears. Perhaps with future input from various sources she will inch closer to the truth.
So true Robin. I blamed doctors more than any other group in this travesty to the health of millions! Aren’t they the revered guardians of our health? those who have pledged to “do no harm”?
Exactly! Once they wake up, will they be able to live with themselves?
Denial is a great coping mechanism.
I have had more than one person ask me “Why would my doctor lie to me?” as they disbelieve what I try to tell them. It’s pathetic, really.
I love that you went back over to her house. So love.
Thank you. I try to be a person of integrity and when I know I am wrong I own up to it. Honestly with the way the world is, it would go a long way if people weren’t so afraid to admit mistakes and bad choices. Asking for forgiveness and showing some humility is not weakness.
Words to live by.
Me too ❤️
I’ve had such bad reactions from steamrolling I never bring it up anymore. So sad!
I think now depending on the person and how the conversation goes, you can bring up the vaxx and its side effects and detox protocols. Especially if they are talking about health issues. Plant the seed and the fact you will be there for them if they want to talk more.
Or you can also casually talk about the vax and effects in a non accusatory way - take out the finger so to speak - like talking about a family or friend scenario. I did with a good friend of mine when I shared what my brother was going through. I said nothing about her and her shots.
What a gracious response from her, full of humility! I admire that very much. May God bless and keep her 🙏
My 52 yr old sister has rheumatoid arthritis and her hubby cancer. Very healthy people up until the last year. I also wonder if they think about their jabbs … but cannot ask. I have a small group of people in my life but the amount of died suddenlys and cancers is unbelievable. 😢
I’ve lost 8 people close to me in the last 12 months and just found out my hubby’s mom has stage 3 cancer😢. No one listens to the crazy conspiracy lunatic.
Sorry to hear that news about your mother in law. Seems awfully strange that there is only stage 3 and stage 4 cancers being found these days...😓
I know. I haven't heard of any stage 1 or 2. Always it is stage 3 and beyond. Even changes from week to week. My husband's cousin went for testing and they didn't find anything. A week later, same test, stage 3. Huge tumor. How is that possible?
My neighbor, a couple months ago went in and found out she has stage 3 stomach cancer. She’s completely vaxxed and boosted. So sad. Her youngest is 14.
That’s very sad indeed 😞 I agree, far more later stage cancers nowadays, and they are very fast moving too 😞
Good grief. Wow! My husband's cousin had Whipple surgery as well as chemo etc. I said to my husband it's the vaxx.
The jabs have made it possible...and now medicine is treating the worst case scenario making lots of additional money after they SHOVED the jabs...
And they are also pushing tons of cancer drugs. Research. Funds. Hello operation end cancer or whatever Biden calls it.
Thanks Maggie. Turbo cancer is real and active! But she’s fully jabbed and boosted so at least that’s good😢
Sad and sickening!
😢
It’s so hard because what’s done is done. Hard to know what to say/how to say.
I have a friend whose RA has just continued to roar along… she keeps accumulating musculoskeletal problems. She has to be up to six jabs now. She will always and forever believe that it is just her underlying, pre-existing RA. Never stopping to co sided that the jab attacks people where they are already vulnerable. It’s quite dreadful, really.
You are right Annie, people don’t want to face the glaring truth. Many people were coerced to keep their jobs. I would like to see these companies held responsible for requiring these jabs for employees.
One hospital system in northern Minnesota had to pay $10 million to former employees (and some current employees) for forcing the jab on them. ( https://www.foxbusiness.com/healthcare/health-care-workers-fired-vaccine-mandate-awarded-10-million-settlement ) With blood in the water, I am wondering where are the sharks? I am pro business but if they forced this on their employees then at least the leadership needs to pay, and pay dearly. Disability and death resulted and they need to be held liable! Bankrupt them as a start to pay back the assaulted and jail time to dissuade future abuses if possible. Negligent homicide, etc. might not be too much a stretch depending on circumstances. Of course, criminal charges need to be brought against the instigators of this scamdemic and the response!
Agree 💯. I kept all my emails showing the pressure and coercion from hq. Luckily 40% were not vaxxed and they knew 90% of us would walk. They would have shut down.
I’ll bet you were a ring leader Annie. I love your spunk!
That’s encouraging... release the sharks! 🩸
I a pro business too but I don’t think being pro business means that you think it is ok for businesses to steamroll over their employees’ human rights.
I shared this with my bro
Our employer didn't require it though they put a lot of pressure on everyone to get it. She and I were the last 2 unvaxxed in our office. She got it so "she could live. See concerts etc." She gave in. I try not to judge. The vaxx should never have been pushed. But she needs to come to terms with her decision.
I’m circling 70 and most people I know got it so they could travel. Well, enjoy the ride.....
That was the case for my parents. Only, a few months later, my mom was diagnosed with bile duct cancer and passed away about 5 months after the diagnosis and less than a year after the shots 😞 Not many people seem to consider that there might be a connection as my dad got them too and is “fine” so far. Personally, I definitely think there is a link. But yeah, so much for the travel plans 😢
So sorry for your loss RL. But one of the many vagaries of the shot is just what you mentioned…one spouse gets the shot and it’s fatal, while the other is fine. We’ve all seen that happen too often. 😢
Thank you Freebird ❤️ Yes it does seem to “randomly” affect some and spare others 😕
Sorry for your loss. 😔
Thank you Annie ❤️ She was one of my favorite people in the world and I miss her so much 😢😞
I teach at a university and it has been one thing to see all these "higher educated" people not do their research and condemn the "nay-sayers," ....but it has been absolutely heart wrenching to see the college students who took the shots because of the coercion. Not just the desire to protect family/friends, but those that actually believed the lie that they were at risk. AND, our campus promoted it with giveaways/prizes.
I know, it’s disgusting 🤬
A long article in today’s Minneapolis Star Tribune aka The Red (as in Commie, not Red State) Star talks about heart injuries after ... wait for it ... Covid! Many snapshots of people now suffering with heart problems and not one mention of vaccine injury as even a remote possibility. Of course, comments are not allowed on this story.
My company's HQ is in Minneapolis and while the staff there is nice, they are liberal, highly vaxxed and totally buy into the leftist BS. I wonder how all of this is going to affect the company - such as increasing lawlessness thru defund the police, vaxx injuries and vaxx deaths. Next couple of years will tell.
Highly vaxxed companies are evidently experiencing higher absenteeism according to Ed Dowd's research. The people in charge are unlikely to associate the two.
Nope; seen rarely or not at all in 2020 and before the jabs.

Post COVID-19 infection was not associated with either myocarditis (aHR 1.08; 95% CI 0.45 to 2.56) or pericarditis (aHR 0.53; 95% CI 0.25 to 1.13). We did not observe an increased incidence of neither pericarditis nor myocarditis in adult patients recovering from COVID-19 infection.
I think it happens occasionally. My DIL's 18 year old nephew suddenly developed myocarditis and he was not vaccinated. His doctor said it was from getting COVID twice. Who knows if he had a genetic predisposition to it or if it really was from Covid. The vax was my first reaction, but it turns out his family was very anti vax. However, I also wonder if he was encouraged to take it at school and just didn't tell his parents.
All possible. So sorry! Post-viral myocarditis is not a new thing, and troponin bumps are common in the C cases. Not a stretch to believe that it can cause clinical disease. Best to you and yours! :)
Double posts by accident. :)

It’s criminal 🤬
I mentioned it briefly that I could get her some alternative support. She's 37 years old. She knows. It's whether she will actually deal with it. I told her I am here for her if she needs me. All I can do right now. 😔
How many psychiatrists does it take to change a lightbulb? Only one but the lightbulb has to want to change. I'm very sorry for this young woman and millions more like her. You're truly a friend by just being there when she's ready to confront this.
I apologized to her as I said I should have put up a bigger fuss in her not getting the vaxx. I didn't want to ruin the friendship. I am like a mom figure to her. My own children I flat old told there will be fighting until one of us dies if they got the vaxx. Luckily they listened to me.
I was at least able to convince my mom not to get boosted. So far no known side effects, thank God. Not so for other friends and family members.
Someone gets fired for not doing their job. We need more common sense like this. Makes the whole world a better place.
My son is head of a medical supply division. He told me, when I inquired, no one gets fired anymore. The slacker gets talked to and if he doesn’t get on board, he gets demoted to some other area. If he doesn’t like the demotion, he generally quits.
Businesses don’t want the hassle of dealing with unemployment compensation etc.
Probably bad for their ESG score.....
Crazy-a$$ world.
Or being sued
Cannot afford letting the common sense rule: in practically no time, we'd get an actual sweeping pandemic—one of lay-offs in high millions ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Layoffs of government officials and bureaucrats. That’d be progress! 😬
...”her memories of being a Senator during the French-American War. Okay, I made up that last part.”🤣🤣🤣
Why don't we put all of them, Biden, Feinstein, McConnell, etc in an eldercare for former politicians. They can go about their normal day just like they are still in office, a special mock government elder home. It would be awesome, everyone would be happy.
I like this idea 😬
She is hideous and should be forced to wear a mask. Yeah I am mean but what a picture.
Not much cooking’ up there behind the wrinkles anymore.
Chinese spy.
Sometimes being mean is just telling the honest to God truth! LOL
I personally believe that the mask marxists were just trying to cover their own faces. FUGLY is not just skin deep. ICK!
The old bag won't give up HER seat. As a Californian, I have written to her occasionally about various issues. Always got a canned response sent by a staffer, and it was always obvious my letter had not been read. The last time I emailed her about a veteran's issue several years ago, a few months later I received a canned response relating to an entirely different topic. I'm guessing the staffer pushed the button on the wrong topic response. So much for her. But now there is a power struggle going on...Pelosi wants the despicable Adam Schiff to get the seat, and apparently if Feinstein has to leave her seat early, Newsom has a black woman in mind to appoint to the seat. So Pelosi along with Feinstein's daughter are working to keep Feinstein upright and "voting" as she is told.
Best and probably true explanation. Pelosi is scum too.
Jeff really missed his calling of being a stand up comedian. Thank goodness for that:)
He would have to take piano lessons. 🙊
Quote of the day!😂🤣
Best line of the week!!!
And this is why DeSantis needs to stay Governor of Florida! He is doing great things to protect the Constitutional Republic by showing competence and leadership here. He sets a much needed example to other governors who are spineless and weak. By dissing Floridians who elected him to prematurely run for president, and thereby owing his donors and their lobbyists to conform to their will, he does a disservice to the ones who elected him.
Great job DeSantis! Keep removing phony installed criminal powers that (shouldn’t) be! THIS is how you win! THIS is how you get known to be the greatest governor.
I believe Governor DeSantis IS doing his job of showcasing legitimate state power, granted by the US Constitution, and true leadership, while exposing the vile underbelly of the deep state, which has been slowly implanted in all local governments. WE the People need to take heed and pay more attention to those we continue to elect, many times blindly or without thought, wrongly believing the local governments of our communities don’t matter so much. We’re kept so distracted with the National Circus, that we’re allowing the progressive, Marxist criminals to sneak right in under our noses and infiltrate our very neighborhoods. This is our greatest danger and where we actually have some of our greatest power! Get informed! Get engaged!
I Absolutely agree! We don’t need him on the National stage right now. We need him as Governor so we can start local! What he is doing locally in Florida IS moving the needle! 👏 👏
The rinos of the uniparty and the uniparty itself, backing him want him to take down Trump. They cannot afford to have Trump as president.
I agree. The way he came out against funding Ukraine and then two days later back tracked and got back in line…..showed (among other things) that he is being directed. That’s a big fat 👎🏻
Doesn’t he see the large numbers of people researching every single thing he does and says? The old days of blind belief with politicians are over! We will search everything! We will call them out on every thing!!!
Interesting that he doesn’t have those restraints on what he’s doing in Florida, and yet on a national stage he’s being controlled. 🤨
Unfortunately, he is now caught in a trap. Those who control the purse strings control the narrative. I would be happy to see him drop out of the race and continue what he has begun in Florida. We need strong governors like him.
I believe you! WHY? He is among a very few who will fight for what is right for America
A solid group of red states can take on the blob called the feds.
I like this idea but where are the solid group of red states?
We are hoping that they are watching DeSantis kick ass in Florida.....”watch and learn, boys and girls.....watch and learn”.
Maybe a few more formers JAGS will run for Governor in their states and kick these RATS to the curb.
At this point, it’s on the citizens to make them solid red. They need to demand they do what they were elected to do.
I think there are sone candidates waiting in the wings who could help turn this around, along with sone of the red state AGs who have been kicking butt lately.
DeSantis allowed himself to get "distracted" with the National Circus and seduced by his own ego.
Bingo 🎯 🎯🎯🎯
"....Interesting that he doesn’t have those restraints on what he’s doing in Florida, and yet on a national stage he’s being controlled."
Remember, this is the race for the Rep convention's nomination. By running this race, DeSantis has gained national recognition and sets him up for 2028. The long term strategy here is important. Also, there are contingencies to think of if Trump is imprisoned by the Bolsheviks and unable to run. Not being independently funded like Trump, obviously his backers are going to expect a certain amount of control at this point. What he does after Trump wins the nomination however, is up to him. The RINOs may think they have DeSantis under control but I'm waiting to see what he does after the nomination.
Personally, I think DeSantis is way too smart to be "distracted". I think it is obvious that both he and Trump realize the magnitude of the threat to the country the Bolsheviks are and they are going to have to be cagey strategists to eject them from power.
Interesting perspective. I agree that we don’t know what might be going on behind the scenes, things very well might not be what they appear to be. Also, you’re right, if we pin all of our hopes on Trump, and for some reason he can’t run or serve, we need alternatives. And even if he does win, we need other people for after his term. We can’t just bet on one person to solve all of this mess.
Have you read his book?
No I haven't. What did you find of interest?
Haha his ego is a tenth of the size of Trump who thinks he's a king. Where's Melania?
I hope Melania has stayed out of the limelight for Barron's sake; a wise mother would.
Interesting how she didn't before 🤔
Things were not at the level of insane then that they are now.
Comparing the egos of politicians? Irrelevant, and in the context of the original comment specific to DeSantis, especially so.
Exactly.
I wasn't the one brought up ego so I brought truth: Trump ego massive, capitulated to Fauci, too old
Spoken by someone who has never been to a Trump rally, never heard of the unheralded things he has done and never listened to one of his speeches in it’s entirety. Spoken by someone who only knows the media’s edited version of the man. Nice try, but 74 million undisputed votes in 2020 speak volumes about what most people think of him.
Whine more.
Agree!! Well said!
🗨 To see what is in front of one’s nose needs a constant struggle.
Even George Orwell struggled 😏
Great points!!!
I agree on term limits. Since we are making up a wish list, I would add an anti-career-in-politics law: No one gets elected to any public office unless they have NOT served in any government position, elected or appointed, for some prior period (say, two years).
I'm hoping that once the convention is over and the candidate selected, assuming Trump becomes the nominee, DeSantis will throw his weight and his base behind Trump and do everything he can to get the entire populist movement behind Trump. It's going to take everything we have to overcome the 2024 election cheat the Bolsheviks have planned. Everybody assumes Pedo Joe will not run for re-election. I think he will run and the Obama cheat team will put him back in office. The Bolsheviks are THAT close to consolidating their control of this country. If that happens, this conflict takes a dramatic turn. Look at the history of every country that ever been taken over by Communists to get an idea of what to expect.
Yes he’s certainly a useful corrupt arrogant little puppet 😡
I think they will run Big Mike at the last minute. They will ‘somehow’ get rid of the doddering old fool before the election.
It'll be interesting
Many of us here in south Florida who elected DeSantis do want him to be President! A close friend of mine just hosted a fundraiser for him at the new Four seasons hotel in Fort Lauderdale and she took her photo with him. She posted and got lots of positive reaction for his run. In my world, what I see is that many prefer DeSantis over Trump, but this group seems to prefer Trump.
A lot of people do prefer DeSantis. And that’s ok. Especially with the great job he did down there after the hurricane. He’s been a fantastic governor in a lot of ways. My son has met him and said he was really nice. I don’t even know that the C&C group as a whole prefers one over the other. I’ve discussed with many on here who, like you, prefer RD. I think ultimately we all have to unite behind whoever it ends up being to try and salvage America. 🤷♀️
Have you thought about what will happen to Florida if he does become president? Will the next governor undo all the good he has done? That would be a worry to me if I lived there.
To what have we descended? It is now documented that over $20 million has flowed into the various shell corporations of the demented, criminal, woke, pedophile, excuse for a president, along with his drug addled, criminal son. Our now banana republic rolls along merrily, as if everything were just hunky-dory.
Which episode of the twilight zone are we in?
I would bet that it is a whole lot more than the mere $20 million uncovered. If we even knew the half of it 🤦🏼♀️
We are the child behind the bedroom wall episode. Get us out!!
I recall Bidumb was paying taxes ONLY on his income from his government paycheck.... not on the millions he got for "access." They showed his "tax returns" didn't they? I mean, we'd all be in jail with this DOJ, if we only paid taxes on our paychecks... Remember, they flag every cash transfer over $600.... Uncle Sam needs to go further than the front door with this bidumb regime.
This ismerely the standard operating procedure for all national elite leaders. Now go look at every war since 9/11 (and maybe all of them), every third world country that receives big financial aid support. Nine have good record keeping, all pay kickbacks. All ensure congressional kids and donors get no-work jobs for a million bucks. It's all a racket.
I wish ALL governors took their jobs of running their state seriously. It’s too bad right now Florida isn’t DeSantis’s sole focus. There is more work to be done in the sunshine state. ☀️
Well, in Washington state, our governor is taking his job of running the state very seriously. He's turning it into a hellhole.
Jean,
It’s so sad.
I lived in NY and CA before moving to FL in 2018. I don’t know how people tolerate these lunatic leaders. 🤦♀️
Andrew Cuomo is an arrogant pervert and Kathy Hochul is an evil witch 😡
Yes, I agree that Jay Inslee has turned our beautiful Washington state into a hellhole.
Sharon, do you remember Emmett Watson and his tirades against "Californication"? Who knew one of the biggest threats was born and raised in Seattle?
It used to be such a treat to go to Seattle for some event: a game (Seahawks, Mariners, Sonics, Sounders), exhibition (King Tut, Chihuly glass), performance: The Nutcracker!, comedians, bands, etc. Going to the Space Needle, Pacific Science Center, Seattle Aquarium, Woodland Park Zoo are all memorable "special treats" from my childhood.
Now, I only go into Seattle under duress (one parent has doctors on Seattle's Pill Hill, so can't exactly refuse in that situation).
In the last ten years I have noticed a personal phenomenom: when heading east on I-90, after we have cleared Snoqualmie Pass, I feel this huge weight lifting off of me and a sense that I can breathe deeply, fully, and more slowly. We have family in Eastern Washington and they say the same thing: after visiting us on the Western side, they feel like they can breathe easier once they get across the Pass.
It will probably never happen, but I think the whole Greater Idaho concept (Eastern Washington & Oregon join Idaho) is a fantastic idea. The I-5 corridor is ruined and I don't see how it is restored. The Eastern WA & OR folks have far more in common with most of Idaho (excluding Boise) than Seattle-Olympia and Portland-Salem folks. Although, to be fair, there are many small towns all along the I-5 corridor that would be glad to join an exodus from the tyranny that the metropolitan areas impose on everyone.
Maybe the thing to do is wall off the urban cesspools and let the rest of the state(s) go about their own business. If only! 😏
Mrs. "the Knife"
It will probably never happen that Eastern Oregon will join Idaho, but it sure sends a message doesn’t it?
Unfortunately Bend will never join the movement, my town has become woke! And I do worry that Boise is just a small Portland. They’ll soon control the state. 🥲
That scares me because I don’t want to be lumped in with Seattle. Maybe king county can be its own cesspool and the other counties can go with the East!
Yes! I do remember all of this as I was born and raised in King co. Used to be proud to say I was from ‘Seattle’ although I live in the suburbs. Now I apologize for living in a county that has been overtaken by people who do not have the same nostalgia for this region. But Washington is my home and I remain to try to be the salt and light to those around me.
RL,
I don’t know why NYS can’t get themselves together. If this keeps up they will wind up being worse than CA. Their tax base is dwindling and I don’t see that turning around. 🤷♀️
Yeah I agree. I grew up in rural NY state and it makes me sad to see how it keeps getting worse and worse 😞
RL,
I grew up on LI. It’s turning into a shithole. I hate going back there. After having left 8 years ago, I can’t remember why I used to like it so much. I commuted to NYC which is now a war zone. The big apple has rotted. 😞
Because my rural NYS former neighbors don't vote. Too busy farming. And now, it appears it's a little too late. When I left, the only liberal hellholes were the five cities. Buff,Rochester, Syracuse,Binghamton, and Nyc. Now it appears the finger lakes area has turned into the enclave of the ultra left. Literally the counties surrounding every one of those cities were republicans,and in the case of Rochester, even Monroe county was republicans hard core. I don't think it's the same any longer. I left thirteen years ago. I fit in here in Florida. If you could get the ny farmers to vote, you would never see another democrat elected except in those cities, thanks to burn loot and murder. But they will not vote! Makes me nuts.
No. Not an evil witch. A dumb dumb.
They’re not mutually exclusive 😉 I would agree that she’s dumb but imo she’s also evil.
I lived in NY and CA before moving to FL in 2018. I don’t know how people tolerate these lunatic leaders.

Praying constantly helps.
St Alia, well said. (An Oregonian of like mind)
Aided and abetted by Bob Ferguson AG, who will probably be elected next, if Inslee doesn't run for a 4th term (he says he won't, but I will believe it when I see it). I am at the point where I think there should be term limits for everyone, from the president down to the school boards and dogcatchers. (With the possible exception of Sheriff Grady Judd down in Florida - his news conferences crack me up!)
Mrs. "the Knife"
Ah, Bob Ferguson. He to whom I wrote during the Richland Flower Shop debacle, wherein he threw the power of his office upon proprietor Barronelle Stuzman, hitting her with a lawsuit for declining to provide flowers for the “wedding” of two men when the ink was barely dry on the new law in Washington allowing gay “marriage.”
I know Barronelle personally. Her story never changed. She knew this couple and had met their floral needs for ten years. She hired gay people to work in her store. When one of the betrothed couple approached her about the “wedding,” she declined because of her religious beliefs. He told her he understood, they hugged, he asked for recommendations for other florists which she gave, and that was that, an exchange between two mature adults.
Until he mentioned casually on social media his disappointment that he couldn’t have the florist of his choice. Vitriol and condemnation were heaped upon Ms. Stutzman, the social media denizens stoked the previously nonexistent ire of the gay couple, posthaste notified AG Ferguson of this terrible travesty, and TWO lawsuits were filed, one from the State and one from the previously tolerant gay couple. Ms. Stutzman fought this case for years, and to keep her business going she had to give up doing flowers for weddings. If you don’t do weddings, apparently people can’t sue you. Only if you don’t do gay ones.
The thought of Ferguson as Governor is chilling. But unless we fix voter fraud, it’s almost an inevitability, despite the scandal surrounding his office currently, relating to withheld evidence.
And we will never fix voter fraud until we do away with mail-in ballots and have same day, voter i.d., hand-counted elections. And they will never do that.
Mrs. "the Knife"
Yes he’s taking running it seriously all right—running it into the ground 😕
And your neighbor to the south, Oregon, is seemingly following suit as seen in the news coming out of Portland lately. Well, the Marxists have good taste. They only invade and over run the most beautiful states.
Reminds me of the scene in Maverick between Mel Gibson's and Graham Greene's characters where Maverick compliments Joseph on the beautiful setting in which they are camped and Joseph replies that every time they find a new location to their liking, the whites come and drive them off of it. He says the next time he is going to find a swamp to settle in and then maybe they will be left alone.
The Pacific Northwest was a wonderful place to grow up. No longer.
Mrs. "the Knife"
Well yes, conservative Oregon is hanging on for dear life. Here in southern Oregon, Jackson County has three county commissioners, always conservative. So the liberals want to make it a five person commission and they’re going to be spending a lot of money in the next election to make it so.
And we know there is a seemingly endless supply of $$ coming from George Soros. Until the almighty dollar is no longer their god, people will not change.
Ditto Minnesota with Gov WalzHole
Oregon too!

—“Even more disgusting, Worrell also strictly limited the number of child porn charges that her prosecutors could allege, regardless of the facts or how much child porn was discovered in each case.”
Huh and her district includes Orlando you said?? 🤔
Good to see these people being removed from office and unable to continue their detrimental practices!
With regard to the HHS/Becerra claim about boosters, WHY can’t these people and entities be prosecuted and punished for lying or for making potentially harmful recommendations with zero evidence to back them up??? When they get caught, all we get is a shrug of their shoulders and oops 🤷♀️😡
Lol the flying car was definitely NOT what I was expecting to read! 😆😁
RL, there's a thing called "sovereign immunity." Coming out of English common law, it prevented the "commoners" from suing the king -- even if the king committed an unlawful act against them (Yet 𝒂𝒏𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 reason the Declaration of Independence was earth-shattering...).
The prevaricating parasite FDA attorney just invoked "sovereign immunity" in the Bowden, Marik, et.al. case currently in the Southern District. "Oh, we lied about Ivermectin? Oh, well, sovereign immunity. Nothing you can do about it." So, there's your answer re Becerra, et.al. -- in addition to PREP!
Jeff Childers, is there any way citizens can get around that?
So we just kept that part of English law? I find that incomprehensible. I’d like to know what can be done about it. Otherwise, what makes us any different than a feudal system or an aristocracy? I thought (though I know lots of people have been flouting the principle lately) that in our society, no one was supposed to be above the law?
Interestingly, the Constitution nowhere mentions this -- until the 11th Amendment. (This is why I asked the question in my Jul 10 piece, https://shethinksliberty.substack.com/p/everyday-is-the-day-to-remember-reaffirm "Which Constitution? 𝑬𝒙𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒍𝒚?")
A case before the Supreme Court helped pave the way for the 11th Amendment. I recommend this article on this subject: https://www.thoughtco.com/sovereign-immunity-definition-and-examples-5323933 I think it does a good job of explaining this whole notion of sovereign immunity.
To your point about inheriting this from English common law, a quote from the above article, "The principle of sovereign immunity in US law was inherited from the English common law maxim rex non potest peccare, meaning “the King can do no wrong,” as proclaimed by King Charles I in 1649. “No earthly power can justly call me, who am your king, in question as a delinquent,” he explained. Proponents of royal supremacy had seen in that maxim proof that kings were not only legally unaccountable but actually above the law."
Can you imagine? "The king can do no wrong." SMDH.
This FDA attorney may have actually raised a very, very interesting question by opening her mouth about this "doctrine." I'd love for Jeff to weigh in on this.
Thank you for your thoughtful reply and for the links. I would also very much love to hear Jeff’s take on this question.
You're welcome! Thank you!
I think it is general consensus that Disney is probably one of the main hubs for child porn.
Yup, which is why it fits that she did nothing to prosecute those kinds of crimes 😡
Same but as soon as I saw the photo, I knew where it was going. Very clever.
I think these are clear cut cases of government officials being guilty of treason and are the true leaders of a silent insurrection against us. They should all be tried for treason and duly sentenced
Yes. Agree 💯
Please see comment above.
“Speaking of failing public officials, aging Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Ca.), was briefly hospitalized after taking a tumble in her San Francisco home, right before she was scheduled to give a speech about her memories of being a Senator during the French-American War. Okay, I made up that last part.”
Hahaha! Brilliant. Amazing how these aged politicians cling to power like a spider on a windshield. They WILL NOT LET GO no matter what.
How is it that incompetent people with nefarious motives continue to be elected and reelected? Something is very wrong about a system that permits this. Either the people are apathetic and stupid, or the so-called media are failing to investigate and report on the competency and prior performance of these people. I am going to bet on both!
Thankfully, a governor with some spine has applied the available, check and balance to protect us. Thank you, Gov!
I think a lot of those positions are not well known of understood because people focus on the bigger offices like mayor or senator or governor. They don’t do their research and just vote along party lines. Fewer people vote in non presidential years and in primary or local elections.
Most people skip voting for judges. In the last election I looked up every single one and if appointed, who appointed them. It was very telling. I felt confident in my votes. Every one Obama appointed was a hell no. If the judiciary hadn’t stopped mandatory vaccines we’d all be jabbed or living off grid. After all, Noam Chomsky didn’t think we should have the right to buy food. Never forget!
I looked up every single judge too, but could find nothing on them (state/local elections). Maybe I just don’t know how to do the research (not that great with technology), but I couldn’t find anything.
Worse, I actually dated (for about a month) a Superior Court Judge and he was a complete freak! If anyone had any idea what these types of people are like, they’d be much more circumspect.
😆
I’m sorry, but that made me laugh 😬
I must stand up for the citizens! In Oregon 2020 election, our Elections Director was fired when he publicly stated that our election technology is old and hackable.
Well shoot, they had to get rid of him, their method for winning elections was under attack!
https://apnews.com/article/oregon-elections-director-fired-text-4fbcddeb7f13601f95a34df78bc1fad2
People are apathetic and stupid. In some districts you have mostly people who "earned" their high school diploma in an urban school district. Which essentially means they showed up a few times and didn't kill anyone. They vote for the people who will give them "free stuff." And the media fails to report any of this fairly or accurately, instead ignoring coverage of it completely or - more recently - reframing it as everyone else's fault. Lather, rise, repeat. The cycle of violence, crime, and grift continues. (Sorry, feeling salty today lol.)
I had a convo w a dem and said people are still slaves, the govt now owns them.
💯
“they showed up a few times and didn't kill anyone.”
😆🤣
I guess it’s not really funny since it’s pretty much true but it still made me laugh.
But remember Chicago mayor, Lori light. She was replaced by a worse person, in my opinion. Votes are cast by color code:(
We elect them, consciously or not!
Because they’re not Elected, they are SELected.
Go find your state election integrity group and find out how to partner with them to stop the selections. Even Red States are a problem.
Start with the assumption that everything is corrupt and doing the described job is not a requirement.
🗨 During Coronamania, the government and the media not only deemed hypochondria and germophobia acceptable; they evilly, actively sold these fears to a baseline-anxious populace.[...] Most people lost their grip on reality and bought an obvious scam.

😊 Back in early 2020, I created a folder on my hard drive with that label. Subfolders include "Vaccines" and "Letters." Lots of content saved there going all the way back to the beginning of the (very obvious) crime.
Lots coming to light lately!
I can't imagine what will happen when it's proven that the virus, and the ensuing death jabs, were all intentional, and agreed upon by pelosi and Obeyme. The two that approved it. Jarrett's the brains behind it. And amazing to me how they were able to find enough corrupt governors to change their states election laws illegally, just to cheat. Wow. They're all gonna be dead and gone, but it's gonna come out one day.
Hope so. Want to be alive to see!
Plandemic
The "popular vote that put the person in office in the first place" was made with the understanding that the elected official would act in a certain manner. Removing someone after they were voted in is not necessarily subverting the will of the people. Even those who voted for the official may have changed their minds based on the person's performance.
And what happens when the elected DA subverts the will of the people by not enforcing the laws passed by the representatives of the people. 🤦♀️
Exactly
"Does anyone else suspect that one reason we are ten seconds away from war with every other world superpower is because the average age of our federal ruling class is 103? How can a Senator who falls down hold up the country — in wartime?"
I think you might have the causation backward. We are constantly at war and standing on the precipice of WW3 b/c we have a government full of people who have been getting rich off war for half a century. Like - the exact same people - and their families - for a half century or more. Need a new summer home? Start a war. Need a new yacht? Start a war. Grandkids need tuition for the private school? Start a war. Want your son-in-law's company to succeed? Start a war. Your stock portfolio tanking? Start a war. Literally everything you see and hear, including the culture war noise, is about aiding and abetting this unlawful (and, frankly, evil) dynamic. Covid was ultimately about war. It's grift on a multinational scale. It's extremely lucrative and these elderly dementia patients running the show refuse to give it - and their access to it - up.
We are a tolerant people. Right does not tolerate evil; as a people we need to turn around.
That is exactly the truth.
