Markets settle as trade wars heat up; EU signals surrender, Israel caves, China blunders; Trump shrugs. Experts flail, Florida strikes pedo ring, Idaho makes medical freedom history; and more.
Great observations Jeff. During the Covid pLandemic the negative effects on the economy and society were severe and very evident in all quarters, but the MSM told us not to panic. NOW we are experiencing a stock market CORRECTION, while the economy seems to be booming back in all quarters, but the fake news wants us to believe it's the end of the world, because - Trump's Tariffs.
Lest not forget that the previous administration re-defined what a recession is. I work in mortgage and couldn't believe the manipulation with BLS, etc., so, a correction indeed and, a lot of us believe that we have already been in a recession since 2022. The rotten cabbage administration literally just changed data to prop themselves up. All.of it was fake. Steady the course to get us back in track. I stand with Trump.
You are correct - In September of 2021, during the Biden administration, the CDC changed the definition of the word vaccine to match the dangerous & often lethal genetic injections that they were pushing & foisting on everyone. Likewise, in 2009, The Who changed the definition of what constitutes a pandemic. It no longer includes that there be many excessive deaths but merely cases. Many nefarious changes such as these made it possible to not only fool everyone, but got them to roll-up their sleeves.
They had to change that, because the covid shot is NOT a "vaccine" per the long standing definition of same. Par original devinition, a true vaccine presents a modified but ineffective threat to the immune system which then begins to produce an effeive antibody to that toxin or stimulant. The clot shots ner=ver were meant to do tha, thus were not "vaccines"/ Then the problek bcame HOW to we trick the gullible general public into taking this shot that is not a "vaccine"? Simple.. change th dfinition of the erm ti include this non-vaccine. And the general public being ognorant and gullible bought it.nMostly. i knew it was jot, also understood the mechanism by which it was supposed to work, and knew it could not (AND was inherently deadly.. who wants a thing inside hem that will manufacture a toxin and release it into our bodies, with NO off switch..... Thus my HARD NO!!! for getting the vile potion myself.
Hi Susie...yes, I did see it (I subscribe to Dr. McCullough's substack). This is a vast number of people. This one analysis is more than enough evidence of the harms these products have caused. We've now been injecting people worldwide with this poison for 4-yrs. & they're still on the market. Sadly, the fall-out will continue for many years to come. What we've seen thus far is only the tip of the iceberg.
Totally agree. You just can’t balk at a meta analysis of 85M vaccinated subjects. The world needs to be aware of this report. Even if the media doesn’t share this information, it can still lead to instrumental changes legally and in our healthcare agency policies. Have a great day!
Was truly unreal- we have lived thru the strangest few years- what a time to be alive! I will gladly take the ups and downs now to get us back to making sense.
we've lived through strange centuries. we have the pleasure right now of actually seeing what's been going on all along. and the only way to fix anything is to actually know that its broken.
Here is a post on "X" from two liberal, terminal TDS sufferers initially posted by mmpadellan and reposted by jojofromjerz. Note that it has 3.3M views and 173k "likes":
Isn't it interesting how they started destroying each others Teslas? I don't know about you but I see insurance fraud going on.... Lunatic "A" scheming with Lunatic "B": hey, lunatic "B", I will destroy your Tesla if you will destroy mine! Then we can both put in insurance claims! Lunatic "B", "great idea, done!"
They probably aren't counting on getting caught though... if they do, they lose just about everything because they get arrested and lose their jobs, etc.
Yes Dave, Dems want a depression (scorched earth tactics) and a new New Deal. Dems have no imagination yet they are the ones who use the buzz word “reimagine.” The New Deal, was not a deal at all, it was a way to empower government that would impact everyone.
Leftists love suffering. Other peoples' suffering. It allows them to make ludicrous promises that cannot and will not be fulfilled and blame others for their lies. Quite the life.
A Trump official, probably Bessent, made the observation that the private sector has been in recession for some time, while the government has done what government does: borrow and spend.... creating an illusion of growth. While noting Jeff's observations of core strength, the liberal elite's ongoing conspiracy with MSM is intact.
Well, Biden was always blathering on about all the jobs they created. Yeah, sure. They "create" jobs by hiring more and more government workers, who are of course paid by the taxpayers. Another form of government welfare.
100%. Also, one of the main purposes for that government welfare is to create good little 'public union' members (the only unions that are currently growing, or were growing until the Trump admin), so that they can launder the taxpayer funds from Treasury to the gov worker to the unions, to the Demoncrat party. Wash, rinse, repeat.
Same with government schools and your property taxes: we are paying for our own destruction. The Dems are very clever with both these strategies.
And generally, a month or two later, they had to revise the “actual” job numbers downward significantly from their original announcement, but MSM didn’t put THAT on the front page.
It wasn’t intended as a cut on you Skenny. But we have enemy inside the wire we need to deal with.
My conclusion is that until we have legitimate elections again, we will continue to have the “elites” running our lives. President Trump needs to take some enormous actions to close down the wholesale election fraud they will conduct in 2026.
If you want a look at how the fed covered their arses after the 2008 crash here is an interview of Janet Yellen, and it is easy to see how she fails to take responsibility when the situation was like watching a car accident in slow motion. From the 1990s and the Clinton administration you could see it becoming a problem. Ya right, the Fed doesn’t get involved in policy decisions. Like interest rates and zombie loans don’t impact anything. 🤡 https://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/article/janet-yellen-fed-learned-since-financial-crisis/
Yes, and just like FJB did with releasing the strategic petroleum reserve (that Trump 'filled up' at low prices in his first term) in order to try to artificially keep the prices down while he and his climate change cult members tried to destroy the oil and gas industry.
We were in a recession from 2008 nearly to 2016. Half the properties in Vegas stood empty. But they had the nerve to call it the economic expansion under Obummer.
My sentiment exactly. I may not know much about tariffs, but I am fiscally responsible and I can discern what I am seeing with my eyes and hearing with my ears. I'm thinking that makes me something of an "expert."
That whole college loan forgiveness was a gaslighting ploy. In fact, everything is to keep us pissed off and divided or scared. I stopped trying to figure it out and I feel much better but still pissed off about the evil and manipulation. It's an illusion for us, the useless eaters.
I knew people at my former job who got their student debt forgiven and then pranced around bragging about it. $30,000 for one of them, who then proceeded to instruct others how to do it.
Right! I will also add the people that said Covid was the killer. Take the vaccine are not the ones I will be listening to. I will go with my own gut. Definitely not listening to the jack wagons that spread lies and peddle fear constantly
COVID-19 changed our tolerance for this. Small, generational businesses were bankrupted, and no one on the East Coast lost any sleep between their Uber Eats and Netflix.
The Democrats/The Dark Side would love for the economy to tank. They live to hate Trump and they would love nothing more than to see him fail. They hate America and Americans.
Yep. They would rather see this country burn to tbe ground than to see Trump succeed and make things great for all of us. Dems never seem to look at the long term. I would think running on emotion all tbe time would be exhausting for democrats. It's no wonder they are losing their minds.
😇it GB! You are so right! Look at the photo of all the jerks rounded up by the Florida AG and they even have a psychopath Portland woman (I wanted to use another word, but Jeff calls this a family blog, so I won’t). But she is lower than whale poop and you know that it is the lowest thing on the bottom of the ocean. 🌊
The very liberal left - the immoral “elite” leaders trying to take us down - don’t feel anything except hatred and anger. They are soul-less and they live to destroy because Satan is their god. Dems in general are just followers - they are too busy and too lazy and too entitled to think for themselves. They tell themselves they are intelligent and intellectually superior to others because they “stay informed” by letting their boob tube tell them what’s happening in the world, and how they should react to it. I think they actually believe they shouldn’t have to research a topic or subject themselves to an honest debate about the merits of an opposing argument because they’re special. They’re losing their minds because people keep saying things that don’t fit the narrative and that they can’t understand. They are being faced with the reality that they’re not intellectually superior, they have no life skills or common sense, and everything they’ve believed their whole life has been a lie. They’re having an identity crisis and they will either turn on their globalist elite rulers, or they will self-destruct in their ignorance. Too many of them are just too far gone. When nobody cares about their virtue-signalling, they will no longer know how to live.
Those old enough to remember the attack on 9-11 also have a reference to use when the economic wheels stopped turning. That was just as much a dystopian wet dream to establish globalism as the plandemic. MSM thinks they can easily manipulate us through emotional headlines, but they have shot their wad on Trump to the point that even the Business Insider looks ridiculous.
It literally caused many psychoses that we're still having to deal with. It's like the CIA practiced its MKUltra program on the entire population. Scarily, if that's what they did, and I think it's not crazy to say it, they will try it again, as they are not gone but just being temporarily displaced.
On March 12, 2025, Idaho Governor Brad Little (pictured) signed House Bill 37 into law, making the firing squad the state’s primary method of execution. ....Five states — Idaho, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Utah — allow for execution by firing squad. Idaho is the only state that authorizes firing squad as its primary method of execution.
But do you want to pay for those sadistic animals to stay in prison for years or take the chance they could escape? I believe justice should be swift and sure and public to serve as a deterrent!
Agreed. Perhaps the marksmen would be allowed to shoot at the crotch.... with BB guns... for a few months..... 3 shifts, 24/7. Then.... a rusty, poorly maintained, undersized, dull wood chipper.... that would require multiple re-starts.
Lori, if you seek comfort in knowing the future of a pedophile in death, do a little reading on Hell in the Bible. The torment is permanent for those in Hell, total darkness, burning and a sense of forever falling. Though they beg for death, death will not relieve them of their punishment.
We can only imagine things in our limited earthly realm, what we imagine would be the worst method of punishment. God the creator has a whole different aspect of punishment.
On the flip side, God also has a future for believers in His son Jesus, a glory far beyond our greatest imaginations.
Thought I read somewhere that it's cheaper for the gubmint to pay for incarceration in El Salvador than here. A two-fer for The American People (really for The People of the World): 1) El Salvador prison 2) and as @MayBella suggests, with death row inmates. Food for thought.
I think it's actually a lot more humane than lethal injection, which can take up to 25 mins or so to kill someone, even if shooting them is a bit messier.
I don't think they do, but it's certainly an argument against lethal injection. The laws in all states that have the DP endeavor to kill humanely, or so I thought. That's why there have been big debates on lethal injection.... it's probably the worst.
Then again, the electric chair is pretty bad, too. I guess it doesn't necessarily work right away and someone is literally being cooked alive. Kinda like burning someone at the stake but a bit quicker.
I'd say out of these 3, a firing squad is the least torturesome.
Hanging sounds good....and doesn't take too long. Make it public. The Saudis behead their perps in the public square where all who are interested can watch. Maybe beheading would be quicker. When I worked in Saudi Arabia some of my co-workers went to observe. They called it "chop-chop square".
Maybe now we can finally get rid of this POS. The " poor old harmless feller" murdered a couple folks then while in prison beat a guy to death. He had to "suffer" 8 IV sticks and because that was "cruel and unusual " he got a stay of execution. Here's his lawyers take:
'Mr. Creech has spent more than 50 years in prison and is now suffering from significant mental health issues because of the trauma he was subjected to when the state failed to execute him,” said Deborah Czuba, his attorney. “We hope the courts will recognize the cruel and unusual level of punishment that this remorseful and harmless old man has already been through, and stop a needless execution.”
Oh, the trauma of 8! failed IV sticks! Can't compare to the trauma he inflicted on his victims and their families!!🤬🤮
And no anesthesia or pain killers. The immoral crimes they commit affect a child for life. And touching babies, I cannot say here what I would do to them but it would not be pretty.
Is this why our government gives Hep B vaccines to babies? I just don't understand why that's necessary unless you are promoting pedophilia which is abhorrent. I would not want to be in their shoes when God metes out justice.
Wow, I never thought about that. The depth of the evil is astonishing. I sure hope these arrests lead to the people who kidnapped or sold the children, and committed these crimes and filmed them!
OMG! And by the time kids are in middle school the government thinks they need Gardasil, which seems appropriate and probably necessary for prostitutes.
Also, I recently learned that adolescent girls are being put on birth control pills ‘to prevent ovarian cysts’. In my day (60 +years ago)it was to ‘regulate their menstrual cycles.’
The ovarian cysts excuse has been going on at least a couple of decades apparently; my daughter in law (late 30s) was put on the pill for that ‘reason’ as a teenager.
Maybe the infertility issues that called for In vitro fertilization aren’t just from waiting so long to start a family.
And this story about infertility caused by flame retardant fabrics really threw me for a loop.
Mark 9:42 “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them if a large millstone were hung around their neck and they were thrown into the sea.”
Millstones, firing squads, lethal injection…May their worldly and heavenly judgements commence.
I attended a long and heated school board meeting in Jacksonville a few years ago with several hundred other furious citizens over outrageous sexual crap being promoted. Mark 9:42 was quoted by many speakers and it sent an electric current through the chamber every time. I get goosebumps thinking about it.
I used it myself and the glare of hatred beamed at me by this one male board member was palpable.
The medieval methods of execution had some deterrent power. Disemboweling, quartering by horses, burning at the stake, the breaking wheel, flaying, ...
It would be cool if they doxxed all their buyers, so if we have neighbors doing that shit, we can do things to them. Sugar gas tanks, beat them senseless, burn their house down. Little things.
I couldn’t believe they would only get 40-60 years… I think it should be death by torture, personally. Everything they did to a baby should be done to them.
I do not joke around when it comes to pedos. They are sick twists who need to die and in a heinous way, not a humane way. Wish I could laugh at your joke but I am too pissed right now thinking about the evidence the police had to watch. Sickens me to my Soul.
There is great evil in the world... always has been and always will be... best not to let it weaken or destroy you... stay strong and fight it in whatever way you can, but retain your humanity and humor. JMHO.
Remember... we may still have to process the Epstein, P.Diddy, missing children, 911 truth, JFK truth and our own horrific international crimes (CIA), soon... IF that REAL information is ever allowed to be released. Gird thy loins.
Yes there has been and is. One reason why God should have stopped on the 5th day and rested on the 6th. No weakening here and no destruction. I just am firm about sick twist pedos and what they deserve. You don't touch the innocent babies and children, God's beloved. I have a great sense of humor, just not around this subject matter. As far as humanity, I happily let it slip when it comes to justice for these subhumans. I am ok with that. God gets it. My loins are well girded AD. Thanks for the pep talk, always appreciated. You take care and stay safe.
Great post, as always. The EU comments were spot on. I did lots of business in the EU and China over the years for a fortune 100 manufacturing organization. China is just predatory. Only way to say it. They will overtly do anything that puts China first. Kind of have to admire their cut throat ways but we need to stand up and behave like men. Thank you Mr. Trump! Long overdue. The EU on the other hand are sneaky bastards. We would want to but machine tools from various EU regions but there was always both safety regulations and 16% VAT to factor in which usually made them non competitive. However the bean counters could never wrap their heads around the safety modifications required after the fact. The whole Trump plan is a breath of fresh air and your take on it every morning is the next best thing to my cup of coffee. Thanks so much for your honest work. I really do appreciate you ... !!!
yeah, so called 'VAT' tax. more like a vat of acid. trump is on this shit too. tariffs are out in the open, vat sneaks in through the back door. bastards
Yes, seems like our bureaucracy took a page from the Europeans to make the whole DEI/ESG agenda standard fare in the US. It’s an insidious plan to “regulate” all areas of society.
This Tucker interview with the CEO of Anheuser-Busch, discussing how that company got so seriously lost over the last five years, is well worth a listen.
And oh, BTW, here in the US, we don’t hate BlackRock enough. Or it’s CEO, Larry Fink.
Two words for China and they are not Happy Birthday. I am so sick of them and their govt needs to be taught a lesson. Mr. President, you have brought water where a drought used to be for years. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Man of Steel and Man with Big Brass Balls!
I have been mad at the new car LED headlights that are a lot more prone to blinding people in oncoming traffic.
When I was reading about it, I saw that in Europe they mandate headlights that continuously monitor the location of oncoming traffic and adjust the direction of the headlights accordingly. That kind of sounds good, but it also sounds expensive and prone to breakdown issues. That may be a big part of the reason US cars don't get imported into Europe.
I think it would be better to just mandate that headlights have the old fashioned pattern of having a penumbra of light, instead of a very strongly defined cutoff (e.g. there's full light on one pavement spot and it's totally dark one foot beyond.)
We also need to ban blue headlights - eyes don't recover from those as well as yellowish headlights.
I just purchased night driving prescription glasses that weren't cheap and after driving with them a few times at night I can't tell the difference between those and my regular glasses. Still a huge glow around most headlights that are blinding. So now wondering if not the rights lenses or just the damn headlights.
Yesterday, as I was listening to a Duran podcast, Alexander was talking about the EU cult leadership (my term) and their many, many meetings. It hit me that if I were to observe those meetings I would probably be witnessing the EU version of Seinfeld, a bunch of meetings about nothing; where nothing is tangible. The humor of such spectacles would be enough to take my breath away from laughing so hard.
And the people of Europe are the oblivious people in the soup line.
The UK has succumbed to islamification, with all of its hatred and oppression of the "other," including young brit girls. What is amazing is that there are any white dudes representing the country.
I don’t think they’re that harmless. German MEP Christine Anderson thinks the EU was formed to lull people into the global takeover, erasing individual countries’ autonomy.
My husband and I were talking this morning about how the PURPOSE of the EU seems to be bureaucracy, like they just meet to adjust the stifling framework, while Trump’s perspective is the market. I can’t express how refreshing Trump’s perspective is. What he’s doing is a huge gamble, but he’s been thinking about it for 40 years so it seems like it has a chance of paying off.
Since at least 1913 with the establishment of the NotFederal NotReserve NotABank. Financed by the taxpayer, run by Britain, the Vatican and Lord only know who else …….satan is the CEO, apparently.
A bunch of elite unelected bureaucrats, who sucked the life out of the individual countries, stole their wealth, and expect the Americans to protect them and their ships, and their warmongering - while we buy their stuff!!!!
They have more than tariffs, non-monetary barriers, VAT, etc. to answer for - NATO. It all has to be made right. Wouldn't it be great if it broke the EU bureaucracy and gave Europeans their countries back?
Great resource . Only seen a couple as I am not a subscriber, but I do listen to his partner Alex Christoforou almost every day. I love the nicknames he has for the EU kleptocracy. 008 Starmer. Ursala Van Der Crazy. Flip Flop Macron. The Green Goblin. and so many more. Kaya Kallas may be the biggest clown of all.
At my daughter's wedding 21 years ago, one of the groomsmen, an economics master at Harrow, remarked to me, on the difference between Europeans (the groom and his party being English) and Americans: "In Europe, when a problem arises, we form a committee to discuss it. In America, when a problem arises, you just go out and fix it." Git 'er done.
The formation of the EU, from the get-go, troubled me. Sure, there might be benefits: easing travel between countries, improving economic and security issues. But what about national pride? The vibrant cultures, with their unique histories, that formed Europe over the centuries? I have relatives in France (my mother being a French war bride) and thus have intimate connections across the pond. Europe has suffered the loss of identity and character, with its dictatorial Brussels bureaucracy and huge influx of aliens... a world-changing cautionary tale that saddens me. AND reminds me of how close we (still) are to the brink.
May God bless and keep Trump strong and safe, as he works to restore America to who we are meant to be!
That's another reason I find the American leftist so repulsive. They fawn over Europe's leftist and praise them for destroying the Europe they claim to love. Sadly the 80+ years of US spoiling Europe has allowed the population to become fat, lazy and ignorant, letting a few mindless elites lock them up for trying to think for themselves.
Spot on, Conservative Contrarian. It also seems the Monty Python folks were ahead of their time with their mocking of UK bureaucracy in the 1970's. Their meetings must be as effective as the machine that goes "bing" for the hospital administrator, that cost hundreds of thousands of pounds and does nothing.
Funny that Cleese, who wrote so much of that,is now a huge trump hating, America hating, blue haired fatty. Can’t even talk to him about it. Goes off, immediately.
Very sad. He must have hung out too much with Jamie Lee Curtis and his "Hollyweird friends"... or just let his fame get to his head. Cleese was brilliant back then. Faulty Towers included.
LOL! That episode with the German tourists was probably the best one. The other one was with the food inspector and Cleese chasing the rat around the hotel and at the end lifting up the food cover and the rat was on the plate, and he says "rat" when offering the tray to the inspector. Hilarious!
well, don't look into the Venetian Black Nobility or the Transylvanian "king" of Great Britain. it'll curl your insides like those poor law enforcement guys who had to watch the pedo evidence
Sounds familiar, Ryan. We’ve been smarter than the “experts” & “elites” & politicians & “$cientists” & all the rest of the genius class since at least 2020….
As far as the experts, I think many of us woke up to their manipulation tactics. They have used the same playbook for decades, probably centuries, if we look back.
Those who lived 100 years remember the lies but the history is changed and the new generations don't know. You don't realize it while you are in it but when you look back... By making us fear with wars and sickness, they have complete control. Just look how the masses obeyed over covid.
That’s what had me crying in horror & disbelief - that whole businesses, towns, cities, states, the country COMPLIED w/ what was, to my common sense & rational mind, sheer lies & lunacy. I literally could not believe it & I burst into tears as I drove around the empty streets & deserted budinesses & saw what few people were around wearing masks at all, much less OUTSIDE.
Cindi... It was surreal for me and after the first couple weeks, once I went out, I was angry about the masks and used a fishnet sheer one so I could breathe and only put it on if I had to. I bought them for the whole family. What a joke.
Ironically, those who kept their eyes on God didn’t live in fear. Maybe horror at what people were believing. I kept my sanity because they believed like I did. I was upset that they closed churches but ours was back open within a month. Those who trusted in God were back immediately. They are some that never came back.
That, MayBella82, about keeping our eyes on God is a perfect way to deal with/meet fear and lies. It works for me everyday and all through the big plandemic lie.
All churches are not equal and most are corrupt IMO especially if they belong to a large controlled organization. I am not sure what I feel about the church building or even the preachers anymore. It is the people who are the church as the Bible says. When and where you meet with people in the name of Jesus is church. I don't believe God wants them to be ornate buildings with entertainment. I think we are fooled about this, but it is important to have a body of believers to surround yourself with who believe the same and support each other.
Yes. It’s really comforting. When it all started, even pre 45 I wondered daily if I was actually going crazy. How could all of my old friends think so completely different from me.
Yep… the “experts” have encouraged instant gratification and delayed payment, resulting in people feeling entitled to live beyond their means, instead of living under their means to save for a rainy day or invest in their future.
I met with my financial advisor the day after Liberation Day and told him I was worrying not. It’s a bad practice to watch the markets daily, and I trust the plan. He agreed.
Organic Valley and Kerrygold pastured butter is MUCH LESS than $12 in Colorado…eggs way down, as well :). It’s a beautiful morning in the good ole US of A💗🇺🇸‼️
Ok, after all the comments here, I’m going to try Kerrygold. Our Costco membership renews next month. We’re canceling - F them. I’ll get the butter at Walmart. Thanks for all your comments.
I don’t belong to cosco. We don’t buy that way, being just the 2 of us old light eaters. Rarely go to Sam’s either. I’m buying local meat and eggs. A few veg and we are set actually. I could have a garden but just down the road will be my veg access. Cheers!
I love Costco but after the lying Rev Jacksass matched his DEI supporters thru i didn't renew my membership. If you want me to sell you in them for healthy products they have them and good coffee but they need a BudLighting. I'm sick to death of seeing insane ppl parading around and besides they ruined my son's career over it. No lie. He owned the meat dept but he couldn't fire non workers. After he left and the dept fell apart and they brought in the big big guys THEN they fired the drugheads and loafers. Blkrock EU elites have gaslighted US and I'm fighting back! It must be a mounted offensive though. Shock and awe
They have been spraying round up/glyphosate/agent orange on all our wheat for maybe 10 or so years to dry it out.... bread, crackers, pasta...poisoned. Thanks EPA/FDA for nothing. More ways to make us sick and profit...
It's way worse than that. Barley, oats, even millet have been added. I had a close (ex) friend who was a lawyer at the EPA. I tell people he worked for Monsanto, because he did. And yeah, Bolshevik all the way for as long as I have known him from college.
If package doesn't say Non GMO, assume the product has been adulterated. "Organic" label is suspect, too. Loopholes are exploited. So much healing needed for Mother Earth, in addition to her peoples. Take one small step on your own/your family's and Mother Earth's behalf... It usually leads to another... 😉💪🩷🌱🌎
*edit - not directed specifically at you @Dawn B: for any reader so inclined.
They have a website (fyi, they also sell pasture eggs). If I'm remembering correctly, you can search there for stores that carry the Vital brand. I never heard of it until our local regional grocery chain started carrying both the eggs and the butter. The butter is a brighter yellow than Kerrygold.
I’m disturbed that the Idaho law begins “unless required by federal law…”
And, why doesn’t it include anything about employers not being allowed to require shots? Or students not required to do the same in order to attend school? These things should be clarified, to avoid loopholes.
No law necessary. I've read the Constitution cover to cover, it grants powers to the government, they have none by default. No power was granted in there to allow them to jam needles in our arms and inject us with anything. Full stop.
Our rights do not come from the government, they come from the creator. Conversely, the government only has the rights we give it. Poisoning us wasn't one of them.
TriTorch - I agree. I’ve also noticed that, in recent years, the Constitution (as well as other laws) isn’t followed in many instances. Frankly, I’ve completely given up on our ‘country’ and ‘the government’.
Don’t give up Cathleen, get even… Withdraw your consent and become your own sovereign.
Put all your support behind your local farmers, then become your own. A garden in every lawn should be standard. You can no longer trust anything from a corporation, so cutting out reliance on a retailer is a good place to start thinking about your resiliency. ‘Incorporated’ City water isn’t viable either for its quality or reliability, so wells must be dug (there is no resource more important in your life than clean water, hands down).
Beyond that, begin ending your dependence on their enslavement protocol Federal Notes by creating local currencies and discovering the lost art of bartering, start stitching together webs of alliances with your neighbors for resiliency, defense, and resource sharing (they might grow what you do not and vice versa)—put the “common unity” back in community, and get control of those town councils and school boards (the one place we still hold all of the cards) and get your kids out of them.
I’m with ya! The constitution is a contract written by and for the people, to codify the very clear and uncomplicated limits of government power. It’s the bastardization and semantic fuckery that has warped the very essence of existence, into something unrecognizable from its original form. THAT summary knows no political allegiance or party association. Just facts.
Yes, any laws like this should allow for urgent interim appeal by anybody about to get harpooned. We learned the hard way the cynicism of the Biden team, enacting rules they knew would be declared illegal, while they enjoyed the benefit of implementing them for a year or two while the court played out.
1,000% spot on Tri. Amendments IX and X are very specific to your point. Hard to 'misinterpret' them, unless one is a Constitution hating Demoncrat/RINO/globalist progressive totalitarian that loathes the rights that come to us from our Creator.
TriTorch: I agree with you! The Federal government will ‘legally’ define issues to bring their wishes to reality... we have only to look at ‘Obama Care’. By the way, I feel that Obama Care can be overturned. Obama claimed (and I am paraphrasing)... “that it was necessary for a nation to be healthy in order to maintain ourselves as a nation”. After 10 years, we are worse off health wise than we were prior to Obama Care. We now have proof that forcing every qualified person to have health insurance has not made us healthier than before... so, the premise has been proven to be false and that makes the foundation for the law is incorrect.
I am glad that it included private business in addition to government entities.
I do believe a federal law requirement for a medical intervention (vaccine, etc) would be such a high barrier, and would be very unlikely to happen. That’s why all these atrocities and attacks on liberty were executive orders. Maybe this law was specifically passed to specifically restrict these future executive actions, as there were never any laws passed to force any medical compliance.
After the plandemic there’s essentially zero chance Congress would pass a law requiring a medical intervention. It used this language to say that an EO is not sufficient, nor is anything like the CDC childhood vaccination schedule. Only a federal law could take precedence over the Idaho law. And again, in the current environment, no chance of that happening IMO.
So, 1 State down, 49 to go. Or, hopefully in the next 5 to 10 years, we can get an amendment to the US Constitution codifying this right that should’ve been included in the original.
Stunning to me how far, how perverted mankind becomes when left to our emotions to guide our moral choices. How sick does one have to be to rape an infant? And still desire to take the perversion further, and share it with anyone who is curious? There is a Designer, and He laid out a plan for us that results in satisfaction and peace. Let’s rescue the children, and make it a priority.
Saw a billboard yesterday while traveling, a picture of a sweet baby… ‘She had a fingerprint at 17 weeks’ was the headline. Hope it hits home cuz ‘heartbeat’ doesn’t apparently.
Evil does end, though. That’s why he hates and destroys what God loves until the last battle. He knows his future and he rages against what is inevitable. Oh the horror of a life lived independently from submission to a holy God!
Speaking of discretionary spending, another sign is the sheer number of people shelling out more than $100 to own an official NFL football jersey. When I was a teacher (before Governor Jay Inslee forced my retirement🙄), I was shocked by the number of KIDS who wore them! My frugal, Sears-loving mother would never have allowed such a purchase when I was a kid (and no, I’m not bitter about that why do you ask?😏😅).
My friend has a degree in consumer economics. When she retired, she worked with a group that counseled people on managing their money. These people would voluntarily seek free assistance from her. She gave it up after about three months. The gist was, even when people WANTED to get out of debt and get ahead in life, they could not understand why they had to stop buying certain things that they did not need. Like gourmet ice cream and sports team jerseys. They couldn’t do it.
And Starbucks everyday and Doordash meals because they won’t pack a lunch to eat at work. These are people making $18/hr with whom I work. I don’t pay for those things and I make about triple their pay. It’s crazy!!! Sometimes I ask them how much they paid for their lunch and then I ask them how many hours of work that entails. I try so hard to get them to see the waste! That $8 Starbucks everyday is almost $3,000/year! It is crazy!!!!
I see the same wasteful spending all of the time. These young people are too good/entitled to make their own coffee and lunch at home. Practical household economy should be a required class in school that you have to complete in order to graduate.
I wonder why it was called Home Economics. It didn’t really teach about budgeting if I recall, but was all about doing it yourself. Cooking, clean up, sewing, woodworking. Today it’s cheaper to buy Chinese clothing than to make it yourself. So, in retrospect maybe it was about economics, but maybe it should have been called Home Frugality or Post-depression Living. 😉
Now they call people like us Makers. Pretty funny!
Worked in a radiology clinic as a senior CT/MRI technologist. Our front desk gal, single mother of two, bought a coffee drink, pastry or breakfast sandwich and similar for lunch everyday. Always wondered WHY she couldn’t make it to the next paycheck.
Yes! The person to whom I am referring is a single mom of two and in the same boat. She never has money for anything…except all the crap she wastes it on for her personal convenience and enjoyment.
We had a mom come in to the school office after she was discharged from the hospital. Her student/daughter made her turn around so the office staff could see her new tattoo on her lower back. Said she wanted the tattoo since she still had antibiotics in her. Same mom "couldn't afford" the asthma inhaler her child needed. (School then provided it for the child.)
I often think of doing volunteer financial counseling, because it is empowering to get yourself out of debt, pay off student loans, etc, gives you a sense of accomplishment… and you only become more fiscally responsible and prosperous when you do so. Also, most people down on their luck, don’t need a handout, they need some sense slapped into them. I learned this helping a friend out with some money, and later found out I wasn’t the only one helping… fast forward to her facebook posts of her kids opening their new iPads at Christmas. It’s nice she thought of her children with my money, but it would have been a more valuable lesson to teach them that when you are poor, you don’t get fancy things, and you can learn the value of family and homemade presents.
It’s discouraging to know that many people feel entitled to things they can’t afford. And they don’t realize that with a little discipline, sacrifice now, they can become affluent later.
Our church doesn't provide money to people without financial accountability and financial counseling. Otherwise, you may as well be sending the money directly to the liquor store or the cartels.
About 15 years ago, my son's school sent home the Christmas wish lists for impoverished families in our area. One wish was for a diamond engagement ring to propose to his girlfriend and she asked for a used car. That same year, my jobs list contained a wish for an Xbox and a washer/dryer.
We had a long talk about finance and responsibility that year. I quit participating for years. Several others did too. More recently the lists have reverted to actual needs, so I have again chosen to participate.
Yes, I can relate. My kid’s school-each class would adopt a family or two for Christmas. Wish lists were often listing more expensive toys and electronics that I would not buy my kids. A few fun things yes. On more than one occasion, some of these needy families were double dipping the charities.
This is how we grew up. We rarely got new things and Christmas was three (inexpensive) gifts or less. I remember having a little collection of things people probably thought was junk, but they were things I saw value in because through lack of materialism in our family, we learned to value everything. If we were careless with our things and they broke we may never see a replacement for it. So we learned to take care of things and value what we’re given.
I watched later generations that got everything they wanted, rudely open a gift and make a face at it or boldly say they don’t want it and it made my heart break for the giver of that gift. Those kids grown up seem to have little excitement for life, no glimmer of that thrill of encountering something new and interesting. It’s like their zest for life is non existent because they’ve seen and had and done it all in their childhood. What’s left to experience on their own?
This is the saddest thing of all. Because life is so flat without wonder and gratitude. I can remember being so happy playing with scrap blocks of wood and making a little town of them in the dirt, with streets and whatever twigs and rocks and things I could find for landscaping. I took great joy in bringing a new library book home from school and turning that first page. My mom (97 now and yes, she knows I appreciate her! ☺️ woke us up one night when we were quite small and took us out to see a beautiful sunset. Recently I took her some daffodils because they are a wonderful memory for me … Mom would splurge on a bunch of them each Spring. In later years I’d drive over to see my parents, and Dad would disappear for a bit … he’d go out and check my oil and tire pressure and wash my windshield. So much love, so quietly given …
This was my childhood too! So much simple, but so many warm and beautiful memories spent as a family. We didn’t have much materialistically, but we never noticed, unless a classmate meanly pointed it out! 🙄 We we’re poor, but never in want of anything.
Many years ago my hubs and I went to Consumer Credit Counseling right after we got married. It was the best thing starting out that we did. It took determination but we still have no outstanding debt. No car payments no credit card payments. Good thing too since the last four years have been difficult but we still can pay rent and buy groceries, all the Glory to God.
Becky, IMO, people need to experience suffering to understand like back in 1930. People couldn't afford to go to a hospital. My grandmother's baby died at 10 months old of something curable and she had dentures because her parents couldn't afford a dentist for her as a child.
They didn't waste money on showy useless things but that is how society has become. Shallow and lazy...
Budgets: I was fired during the C-1984 years. I still haven't reached the government approved age for retirement and so am unable to access "my" money that was saved over the years. This seemingly unfortunate event led me back to my college days of budgeting and tracking every dollar spent.
What seemed like a burden was actually quite liberating. I haven't been this content since the scrimping and scrounging days of my youth. The budget showed me that I didn't need my previous salary to get by and even thrive. I learned to use the little that I had not dedicated to retirement to generate enough cash flow to pay the bills and even increase the savings, all while growing the IRA.
So, my Liberation Day came in 2023 but the market corrections from "our" liberation day have been something of a small windfall. Buy low, sell a bit higher is so much easier when the market is overreacting and throwing a hissy fit.
So enjoying all these replies. Apparently the “like” feature doesn’t works for me. It does seem like there is a widespread tendency now for people to disconnect what they do from the outcomes of those actions. Like they “can’t help it.” That carried zero weight when I was growing up. Am 68 now, so that was the era. Also, my parents NEVER asked us “How do you feel about that?” when decisions were made about vacations, chores, etc. We were told what to do. And I think we felt more secure because of it. Children may push boundaries but they do NOT want to be in charge. You don’t respect adults that you can manipulate.
I think it’s a lot of pressure to put on kids to make all kinds of choices. They don’t have the life experience to know what choice to make. They learn by watching and absorbing what decisions they see their parents make and how they learn from them. I think it would be stressful as a kid to have to make all those choices. We were free to be kids, yet knew our boundaries.
I bought my preteen daughter a handmade “Cabbage Patch” type doll when those dolls were the thing to have and I refused to buckle to the whine offensive. It did not go over well, however. When she was first married, I wrapped up a vintage Cabbage Patch kid and put it under her Christmas tree. We had a good laugh.
My mom made us cabbage patch dolls! She couldn’t afford to get all us girls one so she made them. I treasured that thing and still may even have it somewhere. How she did that while raising 11 of us and managing our farm will forever make her my hero!
I am shocked by the poverty in eastern Washington, but the impoverished seem to be able to afford these jerseys,fake fingernails and iPhones while on the government dime.
In my childhood, we were not allowed to have “store bought” Barbie clothes because our father had seen the conditions under which they were manufactured overseas. Our doll wardrobes were limited to the few items our mother had time to stitch up for us and the attempts at dresses we devised from scraps. But I always understood that Dad described an inherently unfair system.
Bless her! I remember we had one beautifully tailored “jumper” for Barbie with a center pleat that my mother made from scraps of her maternity dress. No seamstress myself, I never stopped to consider how tiny the pieces were.
And the name brands some kids wear that get forgotten at school and never reclaimed. Probably thousands of dollars worth. As a kid I knew and tracked every article of clothing I had on or brought to school. And it came home with me! I can’t even fathom the waste…
Jeff, I felt the same thing as you on the highways during covid. My son had just gotten his driver’s permit so we were out on the roads a lot. Don’t get me wrong, teaching a kid to drive the freeways in Houston during covid was amazing since we weren’t out there fighting for our lives with several million of our closest friends, but it was also awful. And the Houston area didn’t really cooperate well with the lock down orders! I can only imagine how much worse it was in blue states. I absolutely never want to see it again.
It’s so ironic…now-conservative Florida streets deserted, but uber liberal Colorado streets, not so much. traffic wasn’t heavy in Northern Colorado, but there was traffic. People were out daily, We had to wait in line to enter Home Depot or the grocery store (social distancing and all). We made our daily pilgrimage to whatever stores were Deemed essential by the powers that be (sans the pot shops) just to get out of the house. Left our phones at home to avoid tracking. Weird times…so glad they’re behind us now!
My parents live in the Springs and they came to see us for Christmas of 2020. We went to Texas Roadhouse, and it was its normal chaotic, lively place. My dad couldn’t get over how happy and chatty people were. He said that in CO people were just scared, wouldn’t talk, would turn their heads away from you. Like the cashiers at the grocery store and such. They were out and about, but with lots of fear. I hope we as a people never fall for that nonsense again . I know I won’t, but I hope that feeling isn’t lost to the sands of time.
My favorite game too! I was walking around the lakes in my neighborhood once towards the end of Covid, say mid-2021, and what appeared to be a grandma with a young kid came walking the other way on the path. They were both masked (outside!) and when they got close she moved over into the grass and turned both she and the kid into a huddle facing away from me! Bahaha. It was the most ridiculous thing.
My husband and I were weeding out along our sidewalk along comes a lady in a mask outside and this was like two years into it she crossed the street to avoid walking by us. I’m telling you I could’ve died laughing but then I feel so bad for these morons.
I was meeting with a group of women all across the country on Zoom during the time and talking about what was going on in everyone state. Of course mine was the worst and for the longest thanks blue H hole, but I could not believe people were in restaurants, and we were still locked in the closets.
Same. I'm in WA, which shut down construction, but was fortunate to be working in OR at the time, which did not. Lots of masks indoors, and lots of small businesses forced to close. Many didn't make it... None of the lunacy that was seen elsewhere though, like playgrounds closed. Many things were discouraged, but not much enforcement.
Small businesses were threatened by BOLI, and many were fined here in Oregon. There was one brave coffee shop here in Bend who did not require masks, were fined and fought it for years. Not sure how that turned out. Bend was almost as bad as Portland and all the liberal scaredy-cats. But what really killed Portland businesses were the Antifa riots, at least the downtown businesses. Many family legacy jewelers I know closed down, retired.
I’ve never seen stats on how many restaurants closed or how many office buildings are still empty. Downtown Seattle was much the same way, I wonder if it’s recovered?
They were doing some nasty stuff to regular everyday business people weren’t they? In Oregon my business could technically be labeled a gallery and I could have stayed open, and I did go in once in a while but why bother, downtown Bend was a ghost town.
Sorry to hear downtown Portland is still a shithole. 😢
And people still keep voting for these evil people.
Lock down orders were largely ignored around here as well: Eastern WA, near Idaho. But, some people still wear masks when driving alone in cars. Go figure.
I live in Idaho work in Spokane. The hospital keeps trying to force masks at the door but most the patients won't wear them and almost all the rest will remove them when informed by the staff they don't HAVE to, just highly recommended. Staff are required so most of us push them down over our throats or refused to wear them at all.
The hospitals position is "flu season" not covid though.
I live in the sane red corner of deep blue NM & while it was pretty normal there, I’ll never forget going 300 miles north to Albuquerque & the whole city was dystopianly empty - freeways, streets, virtually all stores & restaurants closed. I was literally sobbing in disbelief & horror.
Cindi, I hope you can come East to Amarillo and avoid the craziness of Albuquerque. I live in Amarillo and it’s far from perfect but at least a mostly red, Redneck city. I hear awful things about Albuquerque still today, even after the covid craziness. Reports of gang activity are scary.
My hub and I started our married days in Amarillo 1989-1991. It was a depressed area, but we loved it! Took a trip there in 2022- we were astounded by the growth. Still love that area.
Thx Freebird! I live in the SE part that would love to secede from NM & join W. TX 😆! Except for the dastardly measles that keep crossing the TX-NM borders, haha
I was there in November. I like it a lot. Leaving in Texas for so many years I really appreciate how beautiful and different it is from everything else.
It was awful. It definitely felt like a dystopian nightmare on the empty freeways while signs posted flashed ‘we’re all in this together’ while our governor dined at an expensive French restaurant. The rage, still, burns.
I share my most surreal experience driving on the pandemic days, I have to go to Big Pine Key in the Florida Keys. After clearing a check point on S. Dixie Hwy were I was allowed to continue into the Keys
because I was considered “Essential” (Only locals went allowed) every other was returned.
I drove over the 7 miles bridge an as far as I could see, it was only me and the beautiful turquoise water,
No cars, no boats and nothing in the water and definitely not people at all. It was surreal but also so beautiful and scary like the feeling of the day after….
Thanks, Jeff, for the drive down memory lane! While, I should’ve been enjoying the open roads. I was too terrified that 1- My grandchildren were going to kill me or two I was going to be arrested and thrown into a camp for being out of my house. Not good times, but I refuse to not see my grandchildren. 😅
LOL I have to disagree. I loved the empty freeways as the idiots locked themselves in their homes with their shots and masks. It was so easy to get to the coast from eastern Oregon without all the libtards who don’t know how to drive staying home! Did you see the protests this weekend in Portland and Hood River? Did you hear about the arrests? Me neither.
I had mixed feelings, I loved not worrying about traffic but it was kind of creepy in a way also. The worst part was when the people came back, it was like everyone had gone crazy and had a death wish or something 😕 Like “we escaped Covid, now we’re invincible so let’s drive like maniacs” 🙄
Weird that everyone equates cars and traffic to "life". What I remember about the lockdown days was the decreased death on my street. Usually there is a dead bird, reptile, or mammal every couple of hundred feet. I drove down the street in the middle of the lockdown and only saw one dead creature, a possum.
I liked it. But I'm not one to enjoy traffic, or roadkill.
Absolutely. Massive hyperventilation up here in Canada… Unfortunately, we’re also in the midst of a long overdue election. Canadians are so “captured” we risk electing the supreme globalist, Mark Carney.
Repent, not just for your offenses, but for the nation’s willingness to offend the Sovereign God, Creator of all things.
Then, with all humility make your requests known to the King of kings and Lord of lords. Beg for Mercy, yes. But also for Righteous Judgement to be restored.
DJT had 2 righteous aunts, in Scotland, who prayed for revival in Scotland. And a revival of repentance came.
Pray for the US too!
Pray as if your children’s lives depend on it!!! (Because they do).
Pray now. Pray later. Pray without ceasing, as you go about your day.
PRAY!!!! I beg you to pray for your nation!
Pray for your neighbor. And when you run out of words and tears, pray some more!! Pray the Word. Find Janice’s substack “Words beyond me”….pray the Word she posts . Pray the psalms. Interceding for your family and Canada will change you, it will change your family.
Good morning. I have been following your blog since the start. I just wanted to let you know that you have saved me from jumping off of a cliff multiple times. I am so grateful for your common sense approach to life. I would never jump off a cliff because of my relationship with Jesus but, I think you know what I mean. Thank you for what you do!
If I did then I would demand I could never be in the same area as the criminal perverts because upon seeing them in person I might try to become the judge, jury & executioner all in one fell swoop.
I like the medical freedom bill in Idaho, but wish for it to be nationwide, as well as as the freedom to try any treatment even if I'm not on my deathbed.
Yes. The caveat that you have to be nearing death before you’re allowed to try alternatives that may be a gamble is ridiculous. Why should it have to get that far? Whose life is it?
Whose Life? It is an important question though the answer may be "Soylent Green."
We bandy about with terms like Wage Slave but ultimately, we are at least a certain percentage slave to the state. At least that is the way they see us. Zappa was mostly correct when he said, "We are a nation of laws, poorly written and randomly enforced." Mostly, but one wonders. Were the laws poorly written on purpose? Is the enforcement really so random that we can't predict it?
Taxes are theft but more than that, taxes are theft of life.
"The rich will rule over the poor, and the borrower is a slave of the lender (Proverbs 22:7, LEB).
But what have we borrowed from the gracious state? I'm not so individualistic that I skirt my obligations to take care of the poor. But even that is taxed and regulated by the state.
Meanwhile in Oregon we are still fending off expansion of the assisted suicide laws in the state…🤦♀️ When does all this trickle down to the crazy states I wonder?
Federal law says that you have the right to use any treatment on your own body, but hospitals won't allow just anything. You have to be in your own home for the law to work which makes it pretty lame. That's why I require purchase of my frequency equipment (or lease by a distributor out of the USA). My equipment is computer programmable for any disease you may have. harmonicresearch.org
If all the billionaires become millionaires, the world will still go on. Markets become fear and panic machines when they don't go up every day (to meet the expectations of most investors) and crumble to the downside...which is perfectly natural.
You still have about 3-4 years before the real crunch begins. The last few weeks are nothing more than a tantrum because the status quo has been disrupted. I would bet 2/3 of the great people of this country have no stock investments and therefore they felt no shocks.
They are to busy living their lives on their phones in digital prison to take any notice.
Great observations Jeff. During the Covid pLandemic the negative effects on the economy and society were severe and very evident in all quarters, but the MSM told us not to panic. NOW we are experiencing a stock market CORRECTION, while the economy seems to be booming back in all quarters, but the fake news wants us to believe it's the end of the world, because - Trump's Tariffs.
Balderdash.
Lest not forget that the previous administration re-defined what a recession is. I work in mortgage and couldn't believe the manipulation with BLS, etc., so, a correction indeed and, a lot of us believe that we have already been in a recession since 2022. The rotten cabbage administration literally just changed data to prop themselves up. All.of it was fake. Steady the course to get us back in track. I stand with Trump.
Recall that the Chief Cabbage also changed the definition of the word " vaccine" to exclude the part about *preventing* disease.
You are correct - In September of 2021, during the Biden administration, the CDC changed the definition of the word vaccine to match the dangerous & often lethal genetic injections that they were pushing & foisting on everyone. Likewise, in 2009, The Who changed the definition of what constitutes a pandemic. It no longer includes that there be many excessive deaths but merely cases. Many nefarious changes such as these made it possible to not only fool everyone, but got them to roll-up their sleeves.
They had to change that, because the covid shot is NOT a "vaccine" per the long standing definition of same. Par original devinition, a true vaccine presents a modified but ineffective threat to the immune system which then begins to produce an effeive antibody to that toxin or stimulant. The clot shots ner=ver were meant to do tha, thus were not "vaccines"/ Then the problek bcame HOW to we trick the gullible general public into taking this shot that is not a "vaccine"? Simple.. change th dfinition of the erm ti include this non-vaccine. And the general public being ognorant and gullible bought it.nMostly. i knew it was jot, also understood the mechanism by which it was supposed to work, and knew it could not (AND was inherently deadly.. who wants a thing inside hem that will manufacture a toxin and release it into our bodies, with NO off switch..... Thus my HARD NO!!! for getting the vile potion myself.
well, 'vaccines' aren't vaccines either. and have been responsible for illness, mayhem and death since inception. as (always) intended
Debra have you seen this major meta analysis yet?
https://x.com/p_mcculloughmd/status/1909417416737644921?s=42
Hi Susie...yes, I did see it (I subscribe to Dr. McCullough's substack). This is a vast number of people. This one analysis is more than enough evidence of the harms these products have caused. We've now been injecting people worldwide with this poison for 4-yrs. & they're still on the market. Sadly, the fall-out will continue for many years to come. What we've seen thus far is only the tip of the iceberg.
Totally agree. You just can’t balk at a meta analysis of 85M vaccinated subjects. The world needs to be aware of this report. Even if the media doesn’t share this information, it can still lead to instrumental changes legally and in our healthcare agency policies. Have a great day!
Was truly unreal- we have lived thru the strangest few years- what a time to be alive! I will gladly take the ups and downs now to get us back to making sense.
we've lived through strange centuries. we have the pleasure right now of actually seeing what's been going on all along. and the only way to fix anything is to actually know that its broken.
kim-you're back? I thought Substack got rid of this bot farm. Are you selling dried beef this time?
Where's cara, lin, tara and all of the rest of the "girls".
Carily, I am reporting these as “spam bot” whenever I see these. Not sure how much good that does, but probably can’t hurt.
The outer space Aliens that dwell among us are a restless bunch.

I haven’t seen Beth yet… And of course we got the “comment removed” bot… I guess a two for one today. 🤨
Yes, we were in a recession since at least 2022, and as you say, they changed the numbers to gaslight the people. Four years of "all fake".
The gaslighting is ramping up again, Dave.

Fight them on every corner of every block of every town and every 'X' post!
I think all responses to liberals on X should include: Why are you willingly supporting Elon Musk by using his platform?
😂😂😂😂😂
Good idea.
Isn't it interesting how they started destroying each others Teslas? I don't know about you but I see insurance fraud going on.... Lunatic "A" scheming with Lunatic "B": hey, lunatic "B", I will destroy your Tesla if you will destroy mine! Then we can both put in insurance claims! Lunatic "B", "great idea, done!"
They probably aren't counting on getting caught though... if they do, they lose just about everything because they get arrested and lose their jobs, etc.

Ugh. jojofromjerz. I'm not sure if she or "BrooklynDad" is the worst lib on X.
And those 2 never seem to get put in Twitter jail.
Yeah, isn't that interesting?!
Both of them are oxygen thieves. Stealing good oxygen from even one celled amoeba's who deserve it more than they do.
Perfect reply to Idiot Jeds like them, "Don't piss on my leg and tell me its raining!".
Nice work, Dan.
Yes Dave, Dems want a depression (scorched earth tactics) and a new New Deal. Dems have no imagination yet they are the ones who use the buzz word “reimagine.” The New Deal, was not a deal at all, it was a way to empower government that would impact everyone.
Leftists love suffering. Other peoples' suffering. It allows them to make ludicrous promises that cannot and will not be fulfilled and blame others for their lies. Quite the life.
It was so obvious but they didn’t care at all. “Just print it,nobody reads us anyhow”.
A Trump official, probably Bessent, made the observation that the private sector has been in recession for some time, while the government has done what government does: borrow and spend.... creating an illusion of growth. While noting Jeff's observations of core strength, the liberal elite's ongoing conspiracy with MSM is intact.
The previous administration seemed to celebrate new jobs and low unemployment rates.
If you dug into the details, the sector experiencing the highest growth in employment was.....the gubmint.
Yup, 87,000 new IRS 'agents' was described as the economy creating 'new jobs'... insanity.
The IRS hirings are just the tip of the iceberg, most, if not all, federal agencies went on a hiring binge over the last few years.
I was told it helps the tax base.
This is how I am explaining most of the cutbacks. They should’ve never been hired in the first place. He was stuffing the numbers.
Keynesian economics. Dems love it. It’s the chosen economic model that will bankrupt a free nation into socialism.
Yes exactly, that one was just one of the more "in your face working people", "we are coming after you", with these new armed agents.
Well, Biden was always blathering on about all the jobs they created. Yeah, sure. They "create" jobs by hiring more and more government workers, who are of course paid by the taxpayers. Another form of government welfare.
100%. Also, one of the main purposes for that government welfare is to create good little 'public union' members (the only unions that are currently growing, or were growing until the Trump admin), so that they can launder the taxpayer funds from Treasury to the gov worker to the unions, to the Demoncrat party. Wash, rinse, repeat.
Same with government schools and your property taxes: we are paying for our own destruction. The Dems are very clever with both these strategies.
And generally, a month or two later, they had to revise the “actual” job numbers downward significantly from their original announcement, but MSM didn’t put THAT on the front page.
Exactly!
Dont forget the controlled opposition of the RINOs, they are just as guilty - maybe moreso, than the morons!
Totally agree. I could have simply said "elites" without specifying liberal.
It wasn’t intended as a cut on you Skenny. But we have enemy inside the wire we need to deal with.
My conclusion is that until we have legitimate elections again, we will continue to have the “elites” running our lives. President Trump needs to take some enormous actions to close down the wholesale election fraud they will conduct in 2026.
Absolutely not taken that way and you are 100% correct, Dan.
Healthy overdue correction.
Thanks to Doge and Musk, Americans are getting an overdue lesson on economics that would have been impossible without their work! ❤️Doge!!!!
It was timed by those who want to hurt Trump and us.
The Fed are globalist and we must expose them for what they are doing. They are supposed to be apolitical.
If you want a look at how the fed covered their arses after the 2008 crash here is an interview of Janet Yellen, and it is easy to see how she fails to take responsibility when the situation was like watching a car accident in slow motion. From the 1990s and the Clinton administration you could see it becoming a problem. Ya right, the Fed doesn’t get involved in policy decisions. Like interest rates and zombie loans don’t impact anything. 🤡 https://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/article/janet-yellen-fed-learned-since-financial-crisis/
Yes, and just like FJB did with releasing the strategic petroleum reserve (that Trump 'filled up' at low prices in his first term) in order to try to artificially keep the prices down while he and his climate change cult members tried to destroy the oil and gas industry.
☝️
This.
We've been in a recession for 3 years
A silent depression…
I do as well, go MAGA!!
I just love your handle "We the Sheeple." Most excellent. :)
I really should do more with it! Time has gotten the best of me over the past year! Would be a good thing to do in the latter part of the year!
We were in a recession from 2008 nearly to 2016. Half the properties in Vegas stood empty. But they had the nerve to call it the economic expansion under Obummer.
Isn't it funny how all the people who couldn't pay back their student loans are now tariff and equities experts?!
My sentiment exactly. I may not know much about tariffs, but I am fiscally responsible and I can discern what I am seeing with my eyes and hearing with my ears. I'm thinking that makes me something of an "expert."
That whole college loan forgiveness was a gaslighting ploy. In fact, everything is to keep us pissed off and divided or scared. I stopped trying to figure it out and I feel much better but still pissed off about the evil and manipulation. It's an illusion for us, the useless eaters.
I knew people at my former job who got their student debt forgiven and then pranced around bragging about it. $30,000 for one of them, who then proceeded to instruct others how to do it.
They mayor of Pittsburgh had his student loans paid off.
Pay back for the big cheat.
I hope Trump makes them pay it back!!! Nothing would make me happier!!
I think this is when Karma will kick in… it will suck for that individual when it does!
Right! I will also add the people that said Covid was the killer. Take the vaccine are not the ones I will be listening to. I will go with my own gut. Definitely not listening to the jack wagons that spread lies and peddle fear constantly
Those people are the useful idiots of Corporate Media. I know way too many of them.
I know, all they are capable of doing is parroting what they hear on MSNBC or NPR or CNN 🙄🙄🙄
Hahaha.
🤣🤣🤣
Most of them couldn't explain what a trade deficit actually is!
Don’t know why or who you’re trying to annoy, but what your rant says is that you needed to get some bitterness out.
What a strange comment to make.
I’m reacting to your questions to Christians. They have an accusatory tone. Why? That’s all.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean sister. Could you clarify?
COVID-19 changed our tolerance for this. Small, generational businesses were bankrupted, and no one on the East Coast lost any sleep between their Uber Eats and Netflix.
The same ones who are now so full of empathy for the fired federal workers 🙄
True.
The Democrats/The Dark Side would love for the economy to tank. They live to hate Trump and they would love nothing more than to see him fail. They hate America and Americans.
Yep. They would rather see this country burn to tbe ground than to see Trump succeed and make things great for all of us. Dems never seem to look at the long term. I would think running on emotion all tbe time would be exhausting for democrats. It's no wonder they are losing their minds.
There are some who would rather be a shift supervisor in hell than a line worker in heaven.
😇it GB! You are so right! Look at the photo of all the jerks rounded up by the Florida AG and they even have a psychopath Portland woman (I wanted to use another word, but Jeff calls this a family blog, so I won’t). But she is lower than whale poop and you know that it is the lowest thing on the bottom of the ocean. 🌊
The very liberal left - the immoral “elite” leaders trying to take us down - don’t feel anything except hatred and anger. They are soul-less and they live to destroy because Satan is their god. Dems in general are just followers - they are too busy and too lazy and too entitled to think for themselves. They tell themselves they are intelligent and intellectually superior to others because they “stay informed” by letting their boob tube tell them what’s happening in the world, and how they should react to it. I think they actually believe they shouldn’t have to research a topic or subject themselves to an honest debate about the merits of an opposing argument because they’re special. They’re losing their minds because people keep saying things that don’t fit the narrative and that they can’t understand. They are being faced with the reality that they’re not intellectually superior, they have no life skills or common sense, and everything they’ve believed their whole life has been a lie. They’re having an identity crisis and they will either turn on their globalist elite rulers, or they will self-destruct in their ignorance. Too many of them are just too far gone. When nobody cares about their virtue-signalling, they will no longer know how to live.
I hope their hate destroys them, fully. They do nothing good for the planet and worship at the altar of immorality.
Hate always destroys the one it inhabits.
exactly Robin.
It's the economy, stupid, not the value of the volatile stock market.
Name calling? Or am I misreading?
Remember when the left kept telling Bush Sr, “It’s the economy, stupid!”? (You may have been to young to remember that one)
Yup, James Carville at the top of his game. Got the pedo WJC elected and was the primary tag line that wrecked Bush 41.
And then we found out the Bushes and the Clintons were all working for the same side...
Yes, which makes me glad that I voted for Ross Perot in '92, who loathed Bush 41 and the globalist Bush clan for multiple reasons.
Nope not too young. I just missed the quotes. I needed a reference, I guess. : )
James Carville the Ragin' Cajun when he was Slick Willys campain advisor.
Watching Gutfeld last night, he was compared to Gollum of Lord of the Rings fame. Perfect comparison!
Just perfect!
Oh no not at all! I should have put that in quotes. 😁
I’m sorry to ask. I get it now.
Those old enough to remember the attack on 9-11 also have a reference to use when the economic wheels stopped turning. That was just as much a dystopian wet dream to establish globalism as the plandemic. MSM thinks they can easily manipulate us through emotional headlines, but they have shot their wad on Trump to the point that even the Business Insider looks ridiculous.
MAGA/MAHA/DOGE-BEST 12 LETTERS EVER!! Life is grand:}
It literally caused many psychoses that we're still having to deal with. It's like the CIA practiced its MKUltra program on the entire population. Scarily, if that's what they did, and I think it's not crazy to say it, they will try it again, as they are not gone but just being temporarily displaced.
Big balderdash.

Fantastic news about the pedophile ring. I have not enough words to describe the contempt and loathing I feel for them. Death is not enough for them.
And Idaho just voted to legalize the death penalty by firing squad for convicted pedophiles. The world is healing, thank you Jesus.
Saw that on The Free Press Front Page, for reference.
https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/idaho-governor-signs-legislation-authorizing-firing-squad-as-states-primary-execution-method
On March 12, 2025, Idaho Governor Brad Little (pictured) signed House Bill 37 into law, making the firing squad the state’s primary method of execution. ....Five states — Idaho, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Utah — allow for execution by firing squad. Idaho is the only state that authorizes firing squad as its primary method of execution.
Firing squad is too civil and fast for pedos. They deserve something very slow so they can think of their crimes while being punished.
But do you want to pay for those sadistic animals to stay in prison for years or take the chance they could escape? I believe justice should be swift and sure and public to serve as a deterrent!
CECOT looks truly terrifying. That is in my top 3. And it all ends with them in a lake of fire FOREVER.
no prison, just some vigilante justice before they are slayed.
That’s okay too. Just get them off the planet.
Agreed. Perhaps the marksmen would be allowed to shoot at the crotch.... with BB guns... for a few months..... 3 shifts, 24/7. Then.... a rusty, poorly maintained, undersized, dull wood chipper.... that would require multiple re-starts.
I really like Jeff's wood chipper method.
Slow motion wood chipper with really dull blades
Or use a manual cheese grater.
Now we are getting somewhere.
Lori, if you seek comfort in knowing the future of a pedophile in death, do a little reading on Hell in the Bible. The torment is permanent for those in Hell, total darkness, burning and a sense of forever falling. Though they beg for death, death will not relieve them of their punishment.
We can only imagine things in our limited earthly realm, what we imagine would be the worst method of punishment. God the creator has a whole different aspect of punishment.
On the flip side, God also has a future for believers in His son Jesus, a glory far beyond our greatest imaginations.
Yes to all the above!!
I kind've like the El Salvadorian Prison while they are on death row. Specific to Pedophiles, if possible.
Me too. Put them with death row inmates… they hate pedophiles. They will take care of them.
Thought I read somewhere that it's cheaper for the gubmint to pay for incarceration in El Salvador than here. A two-fer for The American People (really for The People of the World): 1) El Salvador prison 2) and as @MayBella suggests, with death row inmates. Food for thought.
I think it's actually a lot more humane than lethal injection, which can take up to 25 mins or so to kill someone, even if shooting them is a bit messier.
why do they deserve humane?
I don't think they do, but it's certainly an argument against lethal injection. The laws in all states that have the DP endeavor to kill humanely, or so I thought. That's why there have been big debates on lethal injection.... it's probably the worst.
Then again, the electric chair is pretty bad, too. I guess it doesn't necessarily work right away and someone is literally being cooked alive. Kinda like burning someone at the stake but a bit quicker.
I'd say out of these 3, a firing squad is the least torturesome.
and again I ask, for what they have done to babies and children, why do they deserve any humane? screw a firing squad, Dexterize them.
I think if the electric chair was properly used it would be fine.
We’ve all been indoctrinated by that excellent movie, the Green Mile.
“The arrested co-conspirators face forty to sixty years in prison. Or, the wood chipper. Either way, but I lean toward chipping”
I vote for the wind chipper !! 🤬
I would suggest the bullets be soaked in pigs blood first before they are used. Of course maybe a public hanging would send more of a message.
The ropes could be soaked in pig’s blood for hanging. Bacon cheeseburger for last meal.
You saw what I saw Carolyn, I'm stereotyping that most of those arrested are Muslim. Allah has no mercy for the young or innocent.
Hanging sounds good....and doesn't take too long. Make it public. The Saudis behead their perps in the public square where all who are interested can watch. Maybe beheading would be quicker. When I worked in Saudi Arabia some of my co-workers went to observe. They called it "chop-chop square".
Let Florida pass the same law.
Allll the states. But we know there are some where it’ll never happen. Doesn’t mean it shouldn’t.
Valerie, yes! And I just made the observation that Florida should send those pedophiles up to Idaho for “handling”.
Better yet, yet the families of the victims "handle" them.
Please don't. We have plenty
Yeah, no kidding! Seems like child AND drug trafficking is alive and well here in Idaho.
That is great, we can’t take any chances of those vile things hurting any more children!!!
Darn, and I was hoping for tarring, feathering and quartering with that part done slowly for each child or baby they abused.
https://idahocapitalsun.com/2025/03/27/idaho-governor-signs-into-law-child-sex-abuse-death-penalty-bill-despite-u-s-supreme-court-ruling/
Wow, I really picked the right state to move to back during the covid hoax.
Bravo!
Castration for pedophiles. Then a nice long holiday in El Salvador. Slow wood chipper is also acceptable.
Castration with a pair of scissors. Or hand pruners. Or kitchen knife. Sharp blades not required.
Maybe now we can finally get rid of this POS. The " poor old harmless feller" murdered a couple folks then while in prison beat a guy to death. He had to "suffer" 8 IV sticks and because that was "cruel and unusual " he got a stay of execution. Here's his lawyers take:
'Mr. Creech has spent more than 50 years in prison and is now suffering from significant mental health issues because of the trauma he was subjected to when the state failed to execute him,” said Deborah Czuba, his attorney. “We hope the courts will recognize the cruel and unusual level of punishment that this remorseful and harmless old man has already been through, and stop a needless execution.”
Oh, the trauma of 8! failed IV sticks! Can't compare to the trauma he inflicted on his victims and their families!!🤬🤮
A rusty spoon could work too!
And no anesthesia or pain killers. The immoral crimes they commit affect a child for life. And touching babies, I cannot say here what I would do to them but it would not be pretty.
Or those big garden loppers, that way you don’t have to get too close to the pedos.
“ Cut them out with a spoon! Why a spoon? Because it will hurt more!” That’s paraphrased from a movie I bet some can’t guess!
At least for one major body part.
Feeding into the woodchipper via the appendage that is most closely associated with the crimes committed.
wood pecker?
🤣
Head (both of them), hands, feet…they are all complicit.
Is this why our government gives Hep B vaccines to babies? I just don't understand why that's necessary unless you are promoting pedophilia which is abhorrent. I would not want to be in their shoes when God metes out justice.
Wow, I never thought about that. The depth of the evil is astonishing. I sure hope these arrests lead to the people who kidnapped or sold the children, and committed these crimes and filmed them!
OMG! And by the time kids are in middle school the government thinks they need Gardasil, which seems appropriate and probably necessary for prostitutes.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gardasil
What is happening?
Also, I recently learned that adolescent girls are being put on birth control pills ‘to prevent ovarian cysts’. In my day (60 +years ago)it was to ‘regulate their menstrual cycles.’
The ovarian cysts excuse has been going on at least a couple of decades apparently; my daughter in law (late 30s) was put on the pill for that ‘reason’ as a teenager.
Maybe the infertility issues that called for In vitro fertilization aren’t just from waiting so long to start a family.
And this story about infertility caused by flame retardant fabrics really threw me for a loop.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/04/toxic-threads-allegations-that-federal-law-pushes-infertility/
Stay away from fabrics that have a "no iron" finish.
$$$
I gotta enough loathe going on to float a battleship around.
Maybe an entire battle group
Semi-veiled Skynyrd reference?
'Oak tree...you're in my way'...

I knew there was a reason I liked you besides politics!
Mark 9:42 “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them if a large millstone were hung around their neck and they were thrown into the sea.”
Millstones, firing squads, lethal injection…May their worldly and heavenly judgements commence.
I attended a long and heated school board meeting in Jacksonville a few years ago with several hundred other furious citizens over outrageous sexual crap being promoted. Mark 9:42 was quoted by many speakers and it sent an electric current through the chamber every time. I get goosebumps thinking about it.
I used it myself and the glare of hatred beamed at me by this one male board member was palpable.
That hate was demonic. Literally.
The passage says the milestone is better than their deserved punishment! Challenge accepted!
firing squads and injection much too quick. they need to suffer and to scream. satan can have them then.
The medieval methods of execution had some deterrent power. Disemboweling, quartering by horses, burning at the stake, the breaking wheel, flaying, ...
and that does not even come close to the destruction they cause to babies and children.
Millstones.
Amen!
It would be cool if they doxxed all their buyers, so if we have neighbors doing that shit, we can do things to them. Sugar gas tanks, beat them senseless, burn their house down. Little things.
For Pedos, it should be no holds barred. Go all out. I personally have no tolerance for anyone that hurts a child or baby.
So you’re voting for chipping? 😂 I am also
I couldn’t believe they would only get 40-60 years… I think it should be death by torture, personally. Everything they did to a baby should be done to them.
I agree wholeheartedly Cathy. I would have them Dexterized for at least a week before they met their ends. A...Very....Slow....Burn.....
As for myself, I'd first like to see them tarred & feathered, followed by being drawn & quartered in the town square.
Idaho not fooling around: https://idahocapitalsun.com/2025/03/27/idaho-governor-signs-into-law-child-sex-abuse-death-penalty-bill-despite-u-s-supreme-court-ruling/
What's with two of the arrested suspects smiling cheerily at the camera for their mug shots???
cut their tongues out and see if we can't change that pic real quick. I have a rusty metal can top to do the trick.
Jeeze, Lori, I'd hate to take you on a disappointing date! 😟
But I do agree!
I do not joke around when it comes to pedos. They are sick twists who need to die and in a heinous way, not a humane way. Wish I could laugh at your joke but I am too pissed right now thinking about the evidence the police had to watch. Sickens me to my Soul.
There is great evil in the world... always has been and always will be... best not to let it weaken or destroy you... stay strong and fight it in whatever way you can, but retain your humanity and humor. JMHO.
Remember... we may still have to process the Epstein, P.Diddy, missing children, 911 truth, JFK truth and our own horrific international crimes (CIA), soon... IF that REAL information is ever allowed to be released. Gird thy loins.
Yes there has been and is. One reason why God should have stopped on the 5th day and rested on the 6th. No weakening here and no destruction. I just am firm about sick twist pedos and what they deserve. You don't touch the innocent babies and children, God's beloved. I have a great sense of humor, just not around this subject matter. As far as humanity, I happily let it slip when it comes to justice for these subhumans. I am ok with that. God gets it. My loins are well girded AD. Thanks for the pep talk, always appreciated. You take care and stay safe.
That struck me, too! I am hoping their driver's license photos were used in lieu of mugshots....
Eternity in hell is their penalty
What about the people that actually trafficked the kids and arranged or did the acts that are shown in the videos????
Like NGO's? All equally guilty.
I can't even...Lord have mercy.
40 to 60 is too lenient.
Again, Lord have mercy on such demonic activity. Lord have mercy on those innocents.
Great post, as always. The EU comments were spot on. I did lots of business in the EU and China over the years for a fortune 100 manufacturing organization. China is just predatory. Only way to say it. They will overtly do anything that puts China first. Kind of have to admire their cut throat ways but we need to stand up and behave like men. Thank you Mr. Trump! Long overdue. The EU on the other hand are sneaky bastards. We would want to but machine tools from various EU regions but there was always both safety regulations and 16% VAT to factor in which usually made them non competitive. However the bean counters could never wrap their heads around the safety modifications required after the fact. The whole Trump plan is a breath of fresh air and your take on it every morning is the next best thing to my cup of coffee. Thanks so much for your honest work. I really do appreciate you ... !!!
yeah, so called 'VAT' tax. more like a vat of acid. trump is on this shit too. tariffs are out in the open, vat sneaks in through the back door. bastards
I can’t agree more with you.
Yes, seems like our bureaucracy took a page from the Europeans to make the whole DEI/ESG agenda standard fare in the US. It’s an insidious plan to “regulate” all areas of society.
This Tucker interview with the CEO of Anheuser-Busch, discussing how that company got so seriously lost over the last five years, is well worth a listen.
And oh, BTW, here in the US, we don’t hate BlackRock enough. Or it’s CEO, Larry Fink.
https://youtu.be/evlQzZbk1BI?si=h9syMHbs6s3jmYBX
Two words for China and they are not Happy Birthday. I am so sick of them and their govt needs to be taught a lesson. Mr. President, you have brought water where a drought used to be for years. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Man of Steel and Man with Big Brass Balls!
I don’t drink coffee so Jeff’s posts are the best thing every morning!!
I have been mad at the new car LED headlights that are a lot more prone to blinding people in oncoming traffic.
When I was reading about it, I saw that in Europe they mandate headlights that continuously monitor the location of oncoming traffic and adjust the direction of the headlights accordingly. That kind of sounds good, but it also sounds expensive and prone to breakdown issues. That may be a big part of the reason US cars don't get imported into Europe.
I think it would be better to just mandate that headlights have the old fashioned pattern of having a penumbra of light, instead of a very strongly defined cutoff (e.g. there's full light on one pavement spot and it's totally dark one foot beyond.)
We also need to ban blue headlights - eyes don't recover from those as well as yellowish headlights.
I drive a car rather than a SUV or monster truck.
Because those other vehicles sit so high, it is torture driving at night with their super bright headlights.
I just purchased night driving prescription glasses that weren't cheap and after driving with them a few times at night I can't tell the difference between those and my regular glasses. Still a huge glow around most headlights that are blinding. So now wondering if not the rights lenses or just the damn headlights.
Thieves and communism play well together…. God. Will. Judge.
Yesterday, as I was listening to a Duran podcast, Alexander was talking about the EU cult leadership (my term) and their many, many meetings. It hit me that if I were to observe those meetings I would probably be witnessing the EU version of Seinfeld, a bunch of meetings about nothing; where nothing is tangible. The humor of such spectacles would be enough to take my breath away from laughing so hard.
And the people of Europe are the oblivious people in the soup line.
Have you ever noticed the crowd at the EU conferences, etc.etc are lacking anything remotely close to diversity?
Seems like that's only for the peasants.
The UK having that fat black dude as their foreign minister... he just looks ridiculous.
Their virtue signalling is off the charts.
The UK has succumbed to islamification, with all of its hatred and oppression of the "other," including young brit girls. What is amazing is that there are any white dudes representing the country.
Or for the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics.
Uggh. That was utterly disgusting.
The zenith of wickedness. I think we've turned a corner tho.
They’re also obviously lacking anything that looks like humanity. It appears to simply be a witch’s coven.
I don’t think they’re that harmless. German MEP Christine Anderson thinks the EU was formed to lull people into the global takeover, erasing individual countries’ autonomy.
https://x.com/newstart_2024/status/1908858673906020414
I agree, we learned quickly to never take your eyes off of the Soup Nazi.
I loved that episode! "NO soup for you!"
They need to be watched very carefully. They are up to no good.
My husband and I were talking this morning about how the PURPOSE of the EU seems to be bureaucracy, like they just meet to adjust the stifling framework, while Trump’s perspective is the market. I can’t express how refreshing Trump’s perspective is. What he’s doing is a huge gamble, but he’s been thinking about it for 40 years so it seems like it has a chance of paying off.
No, the purpose of the EU, as Trump has said, is to constrain the United States. Accomplished through a web of regulations and bureaucracy.
Since at least 1913 with the establishment of the NotFederal NotReserve NotABank. Financed by the taxpayer, run by Britain, the Vatican and Lord only know who else …….satan is the CEO, apparently.
They are us if Trump hadn't somehow managed to outsmart the voting cheaters. I'm so so thankful.
And that is the beauty of his plan.
A bunch of elite unelected bureaucrats, who sucked the life out of the individual countries, stole their wealth, and expect the Americans to protect them and their ships, and their warmongering - while we buy their stuff!!!!
They have more than tariffs, non-monetary barriers, VAT, etc. to answer for - NATO. It all has to be made right. Wouldn't it be great if it broke the EU bureaucracy and gave Europeans their countries back?
Great resource . Only seen a couple as I am not a subscriber, but I do listen to his partner Alex Christoforou almost every day. I love the nicknames he has for the EU kleptocracy. 008 Starmer. Ursala Van Der Crazy. Flip Flop Macron. The Green Goblin. and so many more. Kaya Kallas may be the biggest clown of all.
Naaa, Anna Leana (sp?) 360 is the Clown Queen.
sorry I left her out
At my daughter's wedding 21 years ago, one of the groomsmen, an economics master at Harrow, remarked to me, on the difference between Europeans (the groom and his party being English) and Americans: "In Europe, when a problem arises, we form a committee to discuss it. In America, when a problem arises, you just go out and fix it." Git 'er done.
Unfortunately their way has been seeping into our way for quite some time now 😕 Hopefully we’re getting back to that “git ‘er done” spirit with Trump!
Larry The Cable Guy. Genius!
Holy Moley 😆
The formation of the EU, from the get-go, troubled me. Sure, there might be benefits: easing travel between countries, improving economic and security issues. But what about national pride? The vibrant cultures, with their unique histories, that formed Europe over the centuries? I have relatives in France (my mother being a French war bride) and thus have intimate connections across the pond. Europe has suffered the loss of identity and character, with its dictatorial Brussels bureaucracy and huge influx of aliens... a world-changing cautionary tale that saddens me. AND reminds me of how close we (still) are to the brink.
May God bless and keep Trump strong and safe, as he works to restore America to who we are meant to be!
I think the immigration of Muslims into Europe was expressly allowed to destroy national pride. It's starting to look like the people have had enough.
That's another reason I find the American leftist so repulsive. They fawn over Europe's leftist and praise them for destroying the Europe they claim to love. Sadly the 80+ years of US spoiling Europe has allowed the population to become fat, lazy and ignorant, letting a few mindless elites lock them up for trying to think for themselves.
The left needs to be watched at all times.
TRUMP STRONG!!!!!
Spot on, Conservative Contrarian. It also seems the Monty Python folks were ahead of their time with their mocking of UK bureaucracy in the 1970's. Their meetings must be as effective as the machine that goes "bing" for the hospital administrator, that cost hundreds of thousands of pounds and does nothing.
Funny that Cleese, who wrote so much of that,is now a huge trump hating, America hating, blue haired fatty. Can’t even talk to him about it. Goes off, immediately.
Very sad. He must have hung out too much with Jamie Lee Curtis and his "Hollyweird friends"... or just let his fame get to his head. Cleese was brilliant back then. Faulty Towers included.
Right? And now that episode of him goose-stepping around the hotel can't even be shown!
LOL! That episode with the German tourists was probably the best one. The other one was with the food inspector and Cleese chasing the rat around the hotel and at the end lifting up the food cover and the rat was on the plate, and he says "rat" when offering the tray to the inspector. Hilarious!
They are all "has beens" now so inconsequential.
total loser. zero respect for that limey chump
Shoot. I thought he was recovering from his acute TDS and A(merica)DS.
So so true!
well, don't look into the Venetian Black Nobility or the Transylvanian "king" of Great Britain. it'll curl your insides like those poor law enforcement guys who had to watch the pedo evidence
Heck from what I've seen, us amateur's are better than professional economist of late.
They seem to be promoting that this is a time to panic, urging investors to make hasty and emotional decisions.
Makes perfect sense!
Sounds familiar, Ryan. We’ve been smarter than the “experts” & “elites” & politicians & “$cientists” & all the rest of the genius class since at least 2020….
As far as the experts, I think many of us woke up to their manipulation tactics. They have used the same playbook for decades, probably centuries, if we look back.
Those who lived 100 years remember the lies but the history is changed and the new generations don't know. You don't realize it while you are in it but when you look back... By making us fear with wars and sickness, they have complete control. Just look how the masses obeyed over covid.
That’s what had me crying in horror & disbelief - that whole businesses, towns, cities, states, the country COMPLIED w/ what was, to my common sense & rational mind, sheer lies & lunacy. I literally could not believe it & I burst into tears as I drove around the empty streets & deserted budinesses & saw what few people were around wearing masks at all, much less OUTSIDE.
Cindi... It was surreal for me and after the first couple weeks, once I went out, I was angry about the masks and used a fishnet sheer one so I could breathe and only put it on if I had to. I bought them for the whole family. What a joke.
I was so angry too. I had unlined lace masks in various colors for my protest 😂
Branch Covidians "overplayed their hand" in that dark period. Too many have awakened. Light from Light, true God from true God.
Ironically, those who kept their eyes on God didn’t live in fear. Maybe horror at what people were believing. I kept my sanity because they believed like I did. I was upset that they closed churches but ours was back open within a month. Those who trusted in God were back immediately. They are some that never came back.
That, MayBella82, about keeping our eyes on God is a perfect way to deal with/meet fear and lies. It works for me everyday and all through the big plandemic lie.
All churches are not equal and most are corrupt IMO especially if they belong to a large controlled organization. I am not sure what I feel about the church building or even the preachers anymore. It is the people who are the church as the Bible says. When and where you meet with people in the name of Jesus is church. I don't believe God wants them to be ornate buildings with entertainment. I think we are fooled about this, but it is important to have a body of believers to surround yourself with who believe the same and support each other.
I don’t disagree with;you, but structure is important to keep a focus on truth.
Yes. It’s really comforting. When it all started, even pre 45 I wondered daily if I was actually going crazy. How could all of my old friends think so completely different from me.
I like to think I had them beat starting about 1970.
I’ve been out of stock market for 2 years. I can now afford organic butter to put on my gluten free bagels
Hahaha!
Yep… the “experts” have encouraged instant gratification and delayed payment, resulting in people feeling entitled to live beyond their means, instead of living under their means to save for a rainy day or invest in their future.
You are better than the FED….a bet you that your household record is more accurate than their.
I met with my financial advisor the day after Liberation Day and told him I was worrying not. It’s a bad practice to watch the markets daily, and I trust the plan. He agreed.
Organic Valley and Kerrygold pastured butter is MUCH LESS than $12 in Colorado…eggs way down, as well :). It’s a beautiful morning in the good ole US of A💗🇺🇸‼️
Kerrygold will be on sale at Costco in just a few days.🙂
When Kerrygold goes on sale at Dillons (Kroger) I buy it up like a maniac. My freezer is full of it!
I’m stocking up tomorrow. It’s still under 5.00 at Walmart. I never buy less than 3 blocks at a time. Everything tastes better with Kerrygold.
I buy Kerrygold whenever I can afford it. It's the best!
I will check at my Walmart when I go tomorrow.
Kerrygold of today, like the toilet paper crisis of 2020.
Ok, after all the comments here, I’m going to try Kerrygold. Our Costco membership renews next month. We’re canceling - F them. I’ll get the butter at Walmart. Thanks for all your comments.
I may, or may not, eat Kerrygold right off my knife:)
I use Aldi. They may be DEI but they don't say and i think I've seen a change in their employees in the past year or two.
Costco HOLDS to DEI. 😫
I don’t belong to cosco. We don’t buy that way, being just the 2 of us old light eaters. Rarely go to Sam’s either. I’m buying local meat and eggs. A few veg and we are set actually. I could have a garden but just down the road will be my veg access. Cheers!
We have a great CSA farm near us. I really need to sign up with it.
Bye bye Costco.
I love Costco but after the lying Rev Jacksass matched his DEI supporters thru i didn't renew my membership. If you want me to sell you in them for healthy products they have them and good coffee but they need a BudLighting. I'm sick to death of seeing insane ppl parading around and besides they ruined my son's career over it. No lie. He owned the meat dept but he couldn't fire non workers. After he left and the dept fell apart and they brought in the big big guys THEN they fired the drugheads and loafers. Blkrock EU elites have gaslighted US and I'm fighting back! It must be a mounted offensive though. Shock and awe
Me too, shock and awe. Our Pres is doing this very successfully!!
I hope your son has found a better job and is doing well.
He's doing ok. Raising littles the right way, homeschooling with a terrific wife!
Thank you so much.
And it is a very good idea to eat organic , grass fed unless of course you like Roundup in your butter from the GMO corn the cow was fed.
They have been spraying round up/glyphosate/agent orange on all our wheat for maybe 10 or so years to dry it out.... bread, crackers, pasta...poisoned. Thanks EPA/FDA for nothing. More ways to make us sick and profit...
And CORN AND SOY BEANS
It's way worse than that. Barley, oats, even millet have been added. I had a close (ex) friend who was a lawyer at the EPA. I tell people he worked for Monsanto, because he did. And yeah, Bolshevik all the way for as long as I have known him from college.
I just think children of the devil since it covers all of the evil ones.
I import my flour from Italy…for obvious reasons!
If package doesn't say Non GMO, assume the product has been adulterated. "Organic" label is suspect, too. Loopholes are exploited. So much healing needed for Mother Earth, in addition to her peoples. Take one small step on your own/your family's and Mother Earth's behalf... It usually leads to another... 😉💪🩷🌱🌎
*edit - not directed specifically at you @Dawn B: for any reader so inclined.
I like my Roundup on the side.
Ok I’m going to have to try Kerrygold! There’s too many positive comments about it here, and my curiosity is bursting.
Also Vital Pasture butter.
Where can you find “vital pasture butter”?
They have a website (fyi, they also sell pasture eggs). If I'm remembering correctly, you can search there for stores that carry the Vital brand. I never heard of it until our local regional grocery chain started carrying both the eggs and the butter. The butter is a brighter yellow than Kerrygold.
I use this and it is oh so good!
It's made in the USA but Kerrygold is from Ireland, I believe.
Look into Vital more. They inject their eggs to make the yolk more orange. I wouldn’t trust them.
Where did you find that information?
I’ll see if I can find the article I read a while ago
Thanks, I appreciate that.
I can’t find it now. Looks like they won a lawsuit against PETA. Maybe they are ok after all.
I've never tried Kerrygold. It really is THAT good?
Soomptin' abite dem oirish kehws, der is. (Translation available upon request ;)
Having a grandmother born in County Cork, I speak this language:
"Something about them Irish cows, there is!"
How did I do? :)
Confirmed! 👍😆☘️
Yes - get the salted bars. I eat it right off the knife:)
Yes
I’m disturbed that the Idaho law begins “unless required by federal law…”
And, why doesn’t it include anything about employers not being allowed to require shots? Or students not required to do the same in order to attend school? These things should be clarified, to avoid loopholes.
No law necessary. I've read the Constitution cover to cover, it grants powers to the government, they have none by default. No power was granted in there to allow them to jam needles in our arms and inject us with anything. Full stop.
Our rights do not come from the government, they come from the creator. Conversely, the government only has the rights we give it. Poisoning us wasn't one of them.
TriTorch - I agree. I’ve also noticed that, in recent years, the Constitution (as well as other laws) isn’t followed in many instances. Frankly, I’ve completely given up on our ‘country’ and ‘the government’.
Don’t give up Cathleen, get even… Withdraw your consent and become your own sovereign.
Put all your support behind your local farmers, then become your own. A garden in every lawn should be standard. You can no longer trust anything from a corporation, so cutting out reliance on a retailer is a good place to start thinking about your resiliency. ‘Incorporated’ City water isn’t viable either for its quality or reliability, so wells must be dug (there is no resource more important in your life than clean water, hands down).
Beyond that, begin ending your dependence on their enslavement protocol Federal Notes by creating local currencies and discovering the lost art of bartering, start stitching together webs of alliances with your neighbors for resiliency, defense, and resource sharing (they might grow what you do not and vice versa)—put the “common unity” back in community, and get control of those town councils and school boards (the one place we still hold all of the cards) and get your kids out of them.
I’m with ya! The constitution is a contract written by and for the people, to codify the very clear and uncomplicated limits of government power. It’s the bastardization and semantic fuckery that has warped the very essence of existence, into something unrecognizable from its original form. THAT summary knows no political allegiance or party association. Just facts.
Yes, any laws like this should allow for urgent interim appeal by anybody about to get harpooned. We learned the hard way the cynicism of the Biden team, enacting rules they knew would be declared illegal, while they enjoyed the benefit of implementing them for a year or two while the court played out.
1,000% spot on Tri. Amendments IX and X are very specific to your point. Hard to 'misinterpret' them, unless one is a Constitution hating Demoncrat/RINO/globalist progressive totalitarian that loathes the rights that come to us from our Creator.
TriTorch: I agree with you! The Federal government will ‘legally’ define issues to bring their wishes to reality... we have only to look at ‘Obama Care’. By the way, I feel that Obama Care can be overturned. Obama claimed (and I am paraphrasing)... “that it was necessary for a nation to be healthy in order to maintain ourselves as a nation”. After 10 years, we are worse off health wise than we were prior to Obama Care. We now have proof that forcing every qualified person to have health insurance has not made us healthier than before... so, the premise has been proven to be false and that makes the foundation for the law is incorrect.
I would love to see someone challenge Obama Care.
I am glad that it included private business in addition to government entities.
I do believe a federal law requirement for a medical intervention (vaccine, etc) would be such a high barrier, and would be very unlikely to happen. That’s why all these atrocities and attacks on liberty were executive orders. Maybe this law was specifically passed to specifically restrict these future executive actions, as there were never any laws passed to force any medical compliance.
That line caught my attention as well!!
After the plandemic there’s essentially zero chance Congress would pass a law requiring a medical intervention. It used this language to say that an EO is not sufficient, nor is anything like the CDC childhood vaccination schedule. Only a federal law could take precedence over the Idaho law. And again, in the current environment, no chance of that happening IMO.
So, 1 State down, 49 to go. Or, hopefully in the next 5 to 10 years, we can get an amendment to the US Constitution codifying this right that should’ve been included in the original.
Good points!
My thoughts too??
I thought the same.
Stunning to me how far, how perverted mankind becomes when left to our emotions to guide our moral choices. How sick does one have to be to rape an infant? And still desire to take the perversion further, and share it with anyone who is curious? There is a Designer, and He laid out a plan for us that results in satisfaction and peace. Let’s rescue the children, and make it a priority.
Abortion makes ppl inhuman. All of us.
Saw a billboard yesterday while traveling, a picture of a sweet baby… ‘She had a fingerprint at 17 weeks’ was the headline. Hope it hits home cuz ‘heartbeat’ doesn’t apparently.
Abortion makes us beings in need of forgiveness. And I know a Guy….
Humanity makes ppl inhuman. Just our very existence. Another reason why I keep asking God why He did not stop on the 5th day.
Jeremiah 17:9 “The heart is deceitful above all things,
And desperately wicked;
Who can know it?"
I can't help but think of the OT and the child sacrifices to Molech.
Amen
Just as love knows no bounds neither does evil.
Evil does end, though. That’s why he hates and destroys what God loves until the last battle. He knows his future and he rages against what is inevitable. Oh the horror of a life lived independently from submission to a holy God!
Speaking of discretionary spending, another sign is the sheer number of people shelling out more than $100 to own an official NFL football jersey. When I was a teacher (before Governor Jay Inslee forced my retirement🙄), I was shocked by the number of KIDS who wore them! My frugal, Sears-loving mother would never have allowed such a purchase when I was a kid (and no, I’m not bitter about that why do you ask?😏😅).
My friend has a degree in consumer economics. When she retired, she worked with a group that counseled people on managing their money. These people would voluntarily seek free assistance from her. She gave it up after about three months. The gist was, even when people WANTED to get out of debt and get ahead in life, they could not understand why they had to stop buying certain things that they did not need. Like gourmet ice cream and sports team jerseys. They couldn’t do it.
And Starbucks everyday and Doordash meals because they won’t pack a lunch to eat at work. These are people making $18/hr with whom I work. I don’t pay for those things and I make about triple their pay. It’s crazy!!! Sometimes I ask them how much they paid for their lunch and then I ask them how many hours of work that entails. I try so hard to get them to see the waste! That $8 Starbucks everyday is almost $3,000/year! It is crazy!!!!
I see the same wasteful spending all of the time. These young people are too good/entitled to make their own coffee and lunch at home. Practical household economy should be a required class in school that you have to complete in order to graduate.
I remember when it was a school subject and required to graduate. Home Economics and Shop Classes.
I wonder why it was called Home Economics. It didn’t really teach about budgeting if I recall, but was all about doing it yourself. Cooking, clean up, sewing, woodworking. Today it’s cheaper to buy Chinese clothing than to make it yourself. So, in retrospect maybe it was about economics, but maybe it should have been called Home Frugality or Post-depression Living. 😉
Now they call people like us Makers. Pretty funny!
I do remember them teaching us how to write a check... lol!
Though we see from experience that instruction does not seem to break through to them. Advertising is a powerful psyop.
You are so right!
Worked in a radiology clinic as a senior CT/MRI technologist. Our front desk gal, single mother of two, bought a coffee drink, pastry or breakfast sandwich and similar for lunch everyday. Always wondered WHY she couldn’t make it to the next paycheck.
Yes! The person to whom I am referring is a single mom of two and in the same boat. She never has money for anything…except all the crap she wastes it on for her personal convenience and enjoyment.
And nail salons, eyebrow waxing(over old fashioned plucking) and other bodypart waxing, tattoos!
We had a mom come in to the school office after she was discharged from the hospital. Her student/daughter made her turn around so the office staff could see her new tattoo on her lower back. Said she wanted the tattoo since she still had antibiotics in her. Same mom "couldn't afford" the asthma inhaler her child needed. (School then provided it for the child.)
I worry they’re the same demographic we are counting on to take all the manufacturing jobs coming back. Will they even want them?
HAHAHA! Ever try suggesting to an unhealthy person to perhaps quit eating fake food? Same thing. Gotta laugh to keep from crying.
I often think of doing volunteer financial counseling, because it is empowering to get yourself out of debt, pay off student loans, etc, gives you a sense of accomplishment… and you only become more fiscally responsible and prosperous when you do so. Also, most people down on their luck, don’t need a handout, they need some sense slapped into them. I learned this helping a friend out with some money, and later found out I wasn’t the only one helping… fast forward to her facebook posts of her kids opening their new iPads at Christmas. It’s nice she thought of her children with my money, but it would have been a more valuable lesson to teach them that when you are poor, you don’t get fancy things, and you can learn the value of family and homemade presents.
It’s discouraging to know that many people feel entitled to things they can’t afford. And they don’t realize that with a little discipline, sacrifice now, they can become affluent later.
Our church doesn't provide money to people without financial accountability and financial counseling. Otherwise, you may as well be sending the money directly to the liquor store or the cartels.
About 15 years ago, my son's school sent home the Christmas wish lists for impoverished families in our area. One wish was for a diamond engagement ring to propose to his girlfriend and she asked for a used car. That same year, my jobs list contained a wish for an Xbox and a washer/dryer.
We had a long talk about finance and responsibility that year. I quit participating for years. Several others did too. More recently the lists have reverted to actual needs, so I have again chosen to participate.
Yes, I can relate. My kid’s school-each class would adopt a family or two for Christmas. Wish lists were often listing more expensive toys and electronics that I would not buy my kids. A few fun things yes. On more than one occasion, some of these needy families were double dipping the charities.
This is how we grew up. We rarely got new things and Christmas was three (inexpensive) gifts or less. I remember having a little collection of things people probably thought was junk, but they were things I saw value in because through lack of materialism in our family, we learned to value everything. If we were careless with our things and they broke we may never see a replacement for it. So we learned to take care of things and value what we’re given.
I watched later generations that got everything they wanted, rudely open a gift and make a face at it or boldly say they don’t want it and it made my heart break for the giver of that gift. Those kids grown up seem to have little excitement for life, no glimmer of that thrill of encountering something new and interesting. It’s like their zest for life is non existent because they’ve seen and had and done it all in their childhood. What’s left to experience on their own?
This is the saddest thing of all. Because life is so flat without wonder and gratitude. I can remember being so happy playing with scrap blocks of wood and making a little town of them in the dirt, with streets and whatever twigs and rocks and things I could find for landscaping. I took great joy in bringing a new library book home from school and turning that first page. My mom (97 now and yes, she knows I appreciate her! ☺️ woke us up one night when we were quite small and took us out to see a beautiful sunset. Recently I took her some daffodils because they are a wonderful memory for me … Mom would splurge on a bunch of them each Spring. In later years I’d drive over to see my parents, and Dad would disappear for a bit … he’d go out and check my oil and tire pressure and wash my windshield. So much love, so quietly given …
This was my childhood too! So much simple, but so many warm and beautiful memories spent as a family. We didn’t have much materialistically, but we never noticed, unless a classmate meanly pointed it out! 🙄 We we’re poor, but never in want of anything.
Spending is a national problem, according to my wife. The problem doesn't just go away because the money dried up.
Many years ago my hubs and I went to Consumer Credit Counseling right after we got married. It was the best thing starting out that we did. It took determination but we still have no outstanding debt. No car payments no credit card payments. Good thing too since the last four years have been difficult but we still can pay rent and buy groceries, all the Glory to God.
It's why we are where we are. Or, where THEY are.
Becky, IMO, people need to experience suffering to understand like back in 1930. People couldn't afford to go to a hospital. My grandmother's baby died at 10 months old of something curable and she had dentures because her parents couldn't afford a dentist for her as a child.
They didn't waste money on showy useless things but that is how society has become. Shallow and lazy...
Budgets: I was fired during the C-1984 years. I still haven't reached the government approved age for retirement and so am unable to access "my" money that was saved over the years. This seemingly unfortunate event led me back to my college days of budgeting and tracking every dollar spent.
What seemed like a burden was actually quite liberating. I haven't been this content since the scrimping and scrounging days of my youth. The budget showed me that I didn't need my previous salary to get by and even thrive. I learned to use the little that I had not dedicated to retirement to generate enough cash flow to pay the bills and even increase the savings, all while growing the IRA.
So, my Liberation Day came in 2023 but the market corrections from "our" liberation day have been something of a small windfall. Buy low, sell a bit higher is so much easier when the market is overreacting and throwing a hissy fit.
My parents taught me frugality and pay with cash. Thanks to them, I live a very stress free life not having to worry about money.
So enjoying all these replies. Apparently the “like” feature doesn’t works for me. It does seem like there is a widespread tendency now for people to disconnect what they do from the outcomes of those actions. Like they “can’t help it.” That carried zero weight when I was growing up. Am 68 now, so that was the era. Also, my parents NEVER asked us “How do you feel about that?” when decisions were made about vacations, chores, etc. We were told what to do. And I think we felt more secure because of it. Children may push boundaries but they do NOT want to be in charge. You don’t respect adults that you can manipulate.
I think it’s a lot of pressure to put on kids to make all kinds of choices. They don’t have the life experience to know what choice to make. They learn by watching and absorbing what decisions they see their parents make and how they learn from them. I think it would be stressful as a kid to have to make all those choices. We were free to be kids, yet knew our boundaries.
Amen Becky!
I bought my preteen daughter a handmade “Cabbage Patch” type doll when those dolls were the thing to have and I refused to buckle to the whine offensive. It did not go over well, however. When she was first married, I wrapped up a vintage Cabbage Patch kid and put it under her Christmas tree. We had a good laugh.
I remember when they were all the rage. I thought they were ugly then and I think they are ugly now.
My mom made us cabbage patch dolls! She couldn’t afford to get all us girls one so she made them. I treasured that thing and still may even have it somewhere. How she did that while raising 11 of us and managing our farm will forever make her my hero!
Cabbage patch kids were real.
I am shocked by the poverty in eastern Washington, but the impoverished seem to be able to afford these jerseys,fake fingernails and iPhones while on the government dime.
Shoooooot. I wore hand-me-downs from my uncle who's 6 years older.
I'm #4 of 5 girls-guess what I wore.
#10 of 11 here. I’m not sure what I wore was even girl clothes sometimes. 😀 I think we wore what fit. 😂
We did too! We never had new clothes until we were on our own and buying them.
That was ultimately what made me get my first job at Kmart when I was 14!...;)
Ah Kmart! I’ve forgotten about that place! I’m not sure many exist anymore sadly….
In my childhood, we were not allowed to have “store bought” Barbie clothes because our father had seen the conditions under which they were manufactured overseas. Our doll wardrobes were limited to the few items our mother had time to stitch up for us and the attempts at dresses we devised from scraps. But I always understood that Dad described an inherently unfair system.
My mom made me Barbie clothes, don’t know how she worked with such small pieces! Best dressed doll in the neighborhood.
My grandmother also. The fine detail was amazing. Of course, they were for my Tammy doll as my parent's wouldn't spring for the real thing!
My grandma made a bunch of Barbie clothes for us too! They always lasted longer than the cheap store bought ones…
Bless her! I remember we had one beautifully tailored “jumper” for Barbie with a center pleat that my mother made from scraps of her maternity dress. No seamstress myself, I never stopped to consider how tiny the pieces were.
And the name brands some kids wear that get forgotten at school and never reclaimed. Probably thousands of dollars worth. As a kid I knew and tracked every article of clothing I had on or brought to school. And it came home with me! I can’t even fathom the waste…
I had a Johnny Unitas jersey as a boy. My parents probably spent the equivalent in today's dollars of $15-20. I loved that thing.
same here.
Jeff, I felt the same thing as you on the highways during covid. My son had just gotten his driver’s permit so we were out on the roads a lot. Don’t get me wrong, teaching a kid to drive the freeways in Houston during covid was amazing since we weren’t out there fighting for our lives with several million of our closest friends, but it was also awful. And the Houston area didn’t really cooperate well with the lock down orders! I can only imagine how much worse it was in blue states. I absolutely never want to see it again.
It’s so ironic…now-conservative Florida streets deserted, but uber liberal Colorado streets, not so much. traffic wasn’t heavy in Northern Colorado, but there was traffic. People were out daily, We had to wait in line to enter Home Depot or the grocery store (social distancing and all). We made our daily pilgrimage to whatever stores were Deemed essential by the powers that be (sans the pot shops) just to get out of the house. Left our phones at home to avoid tracking. Weird times…so glad they’re behind us now!
My parents live in the Springs and they came to see us for Christmas of 2020. We went to Texas Roadhouse, and it was its normal chaotic, lively place. My dad couldn’t get over how happy and chatty people were. He said that in CO people were just scared, wouldn’t talk, would turn their heads away from you. Like the cashiers at the grocery store and such. They were out and about, but with lots of fear. I hope we as a people never fall for that nonsense again . I know I won’t, but I hope that feeling isn’t lost to the sands of time.
I saw the Scam from Day 1.
I gave it about a month.
Yes you did! I enjoy your writing about it.
It was fun to show my pearly whites to the maskers at the grocery store.
My favorite game too! I was walking around the lakes in my neighborhood once towards the end of Covid, say mid-2021, and what appeared to be a grandma with a young kid came walking the other way on the path. They were both masked (outside!) and when they got close she moved over into the grass and turned both she and the kid into a huddle facing away from me! Bahaha. It was the most ridiculous thing.
My husband and I were weeding out along our sidewalk along comes a lady in a mask outside and this was like two years into it she crossed the street to avoid walking by us. I’m telling you I could’ve died laughing but then I feel so bad for these morons.
Same
Same! Only I was BACKPACKING on a freaking mountain! Honestly, it scarred me so badly I've barely been out since.
I was meeting with a group of women all across the country on Zoom during the time and talking about what was going on in everyone state. Of course mine was the worst and for the longest thanks blue H hole, but I could not believe people were in restaurants, and we were still locked in the closets.
The fake news made people fear and they followed the herd which is why it was so different in various places.
If the news told people that we were invaded by aliens combined with their technology, they would believe it.
Same. I'm in WA, which shut down construction, but was fortunate to be working in OR at the time, which did not. Lots of masks indoors, and lots of small businesses forced to close. Many didn't make it... None of the lunacy that was seen elsewhere though, like playgrounds closed. Many things were discouraged, but not much enforcement.
Small businesses were threatened by BOLI, and many were fined here in Oregon. There was one brave coffee shop here in Bend who did not require masks, were fined and fought it for years. Not sure how that turned out. Bend was almost as bad as Portland and all the liberal scaredy-cats. But what really killed Portland businesses were the Antifa riots, at least the downtown businesses. Many family legacy jewelers I know closed down, retired.
I’ve never seen stats on how many restaurants closed or how many office buildings are still empty. Downtown Seattle was much the same way, I wonder if it’s recovered?
No. Restaurants are still closing for good in Seattle.
Mrs. "the Knife"
They come and go here.
The Left have no balls. This is why we are winning. All of us have balls and so does our President!
A dentist in eastern WA refused to require or wear masks, and they pulled his license. 😡 Downtown Portland is still a S-hole...
They were doing some nasty stuff to regular everyday business people weren’t they? In Oregon my business could technically be labeled a gallery and I could have stayed open, and I did go in once in a while but why bother, downtown Bend was a ghost town.
Sorry to hear downtown Portland is still a shithole. 😢
And people still keep voting for these evil people.
Lock down orders were largely ignored around here as well: Eastern WA, near Idaho. But, some people still wear masks when driving alone in cars. Go figure.
A good reminder to pray for those people - cannot imagine living in that state of fear. They need Jesus!
I live in Idaho work in Spokane. The hospital keeps trying to force masks at the door but most the patients won't wear them and almost all the rest will remove them when informed by the staff they don't HAVE to, just highly recommended. Staff are required so most of us push them down over our throats or refused to wear them at all.
The hospitals position is "flu season" not covid though.
Saw three maskers this AM at Meijer, Columbus OH.
Haha. Were they plain masks, or stamped with a pattern or message? Haha.
Plain, below the nose, of course!!!
I'm in favor of repeating the lockdowns. For the bolsheviks who endorsed them, and I'm not just talking politicians.
I live in the sane red corner of deep blue NM & while it was pretty normal there, I’ll never forget going 300 miles north to Albuquerque & the whole city was dystopianly empty - freeways, streets, virtually all stores & restaurants closed. I was literally sobbing in disbelief & horror.
Cindi, I hope you can come East to Amarillo and avoid the craziness of Albuquerque. I live in Amarillo and it’s far from perfect but at least a mostly red, Redneck city. I hear awful things about Albuquerque still today, even after the covid craziness. Reports of gang activity are scary.
My hub and I started our married days in Amarillo 1989-1991. It was a depressed area, but we loved it! Took a trip there in 2022- we were astounded by the growth. Still love that area.
Thx Freebird! I live in the SE part that would love to secede from NM & join W. TX 😆! Except for the dastardly measles that keep crossing the TX-NM borders, haha
I was there in November. I like it a lot. Leaving in Texas for so many years I really appreciate how beautiful and different it is from everything else.
It is like a Whole other Country.
It was awful. It definitely felt like a dystopian nightmare on the empty freeways while signs posted flashed ‘we’re all in this together’ while our governor dined at an expensive French restaurant. The rage, still, burns.
Covid days were the best for commuting to the hospital. All alone on I-5, what could take 30, then took 10.
I share my most surreal experience driving on the pandemic days, I have to go to Big Pine Key in the Florida Keys. After clearing a check point on S. Dixie Hwy were I was allowed to continue into the Keys
because I was considered “Essential” (Only locals went allowed) every other was returned.
I drove over the 7 miles bridge an as far as I could see, it was only me and the beautiful turquoise water,
No cars, no boats and nothing in the water and definitely not people at all. It was surreal but also so beautiful and scary like the feeling of the day after….
I am sure wildlife on land and sea enjoyed the reprieve from the humans.
Thanks, Jeff, for the drive down memory lane! While, I should’ve been enjoying the open roads. I was too terrified that 1- My grandchildren were going to kill me or two I was going to be arrested and thrown into a camp for being out of my house. Not good times, but I refuse to not see my grandchildren. 😅
LOL I have to disagree. I loved the empty freeways as the idiots locked themselves in their homes with their shots and masks. It was so easy to get to the coast from eastern Oregon without all the libtards who don’t know how to drive staying home! Did you see the protests this weekend in Portland and Hood River? Did you hear about the arrests? Me neither.
I had mixed feelings, I loved not worrying about traffic but it was kind of creepy in a way also. The worst part was when the people came back, it was like everyone had gone crazy and had a death wish or something 😕 Like “we escaped Covid, now we’re invincible so let’s drive like maniacs” 🙄
Weird that everyone equates cars and traffic to "life". What I remember about the lockdown days was the decreased death on my street. Usually there is a dead bird, reptile, or mammal every couple of hundred feet. I drove down the street in the middle of the lockdown and only saw one dead creature, a possum.
I liked it. But I'm not one to enjoy traffic, or roadkill.
Right off the bat…it is still called Coffee and COVID after all😉
🥇When America sneezes, the world goes on the ventilator.🏆
Mangles three metaphors, indeed🤣. Jeff, you kill me!
Absolutely. Massive hyperventilation up here in Canada… Unfortunately, we’re also in the midst of a long overdue election. Canadians are so “captured” we risk electing the supreme globalist, Mark Carney.
Pray, as you have never prayed before.
Repent, not just for your offenses, but for the nation’s willingness to offend the Sovereign God, Creator of all things.
Then, with all humility make your requests known to the King of kings and Lord of lords. Beg for Mercy, yes. But also for Righteous Judgement to be restored.
DJT had 2 righteous aunts, in Scotland, who prayed for revival in Scotland. And a revival of repentance came.
Pray for the US too!
Pray as if your children’s lives depend on it!!! (Because they do).
Pray now. Pray later. Pray without ceasing, as you go about your day.
PRAY!!!! I beg you to pray for your nation!
Pray for your neighbor. And when you run out of words and tears, pray some more!! Pray the Word. Find Janice’s substack “Words beyond me”….pray the Word she posts . Pray the psalms. Interceding for your family and Canada will change you, it will change your family.
If now you and me, then who?
If not now, when?
As they say on Hallow, Stay Prayed Up!!
Feel so sad for you, from the pan to the fire.
Dang I missed that one!
Good morning. I have been following your blog since the start. I just wanted to let you know that you have saved me from jumping off of a cliff multiple times. I am so grateful for your common sense approach to life. I would never jump off a cliff because of my relationship with Jesus but, I think you know what I mean. Thank you for what you do!
Come to the deep South where there are no cliffs to tempt you!
" .... described the videos as "some of the most egregious, disgusting content" state officials had ever seen."
This is the perfect opportunity to restore the right to a speedy trial AND the right to a speedy death penalty!!!!!!!!!
Made me cry just reading it.
I know 😢😞
Texas has an express lane.im all for that in Florida.
I hope they prioritize the many people who trafficked the kids and those who "directed" and "starred" in those videos.
Those people deserve the maximum sentences possible - running consecutively.
If I did then I would demand I could never be in the same area as the criminal perverts because upon seeing them in person I might try to become the judge, jury & executioner all in one fell swoop.
Might try?????
Hahaha, I guess it would depend on the situation. 😎
Imagine having been victim to it 🥺
Then you will understand why the big suicidal numbers between the law enforcement officers.
Very good point!
They should let the ones who had to see and track the pedos get the first shots in.
That's why alot of cops have messed up heads. I know, was married to a Police Detective for 11 yrs.
I like the medical freedom bill in Idaho, but wish for it to be nationwide, as well as as the freedom to try any treatment even if I'm not on my deathbed.
Yes. The caveat that you have to be nearing death before you’re allowed to try alternatives that may be a gamble is ridiculous. Why should it have to get that far? Whose life is it?
Whose Life? It is an important question though the answer may be "Soylent Green."
We bandy about with terms like Wage Slave but ultimately, we are at least a certain percentage slave to the state. At least that is the way they see us. Zappa was mostly correct when he said, "We are a nation of laws, poorly written and randomly enforced." Mostly, but one wonders. Were the laws poorly written on purpose? Is the enforcement really so random that we can't predict it?
Taxes are theft but more than that, taxes are theft of life.
"The rich will rule over the poor, and the borrower is a slave of the lender (Proverbs 22:7, LEB).
But what have we borrowed from the gracious state? I'm not so individualistic that I skirt my obligations to take care of the poor. But even that is taxed and regulated by the state.
Meanwhile in Oregon we are still fending off expansion of the assisted suicide laws in the state…🤦♀️ When does all this trickle down to the crazy states I wonder?
Federal law says that you have the right to use any treatment on your own body, but hospitals won't allow just anything. You have to be in your own home for the law to work which makes it pretty lame. That's why I require purchase of my frequency equipment (or lease by a distributor out of the USA). My equipment is computer programmable for any disease you may have. harmonicresearch.org
If all the billionaires become millionaires, the world will still go on. Markets become fear and panic machines when they don't go up every day (to meet the expectations of most investors) and crumble to the downside...which is perfectly natural.
You still have about 3-4 years before the real crunch begins. The last few weeks are nothing more than a tantrum because the status quo has been disrupted. I would bet 2/3 of the great people of this country have no stock investments and therefore they felt no shocks.
They are to busy living their lives on their phones in digital prison to take any notice.
China, "Come back here and take what's coming to you, I'll bite your legs off!"
Trump, "You're a loony!"
Thanks for working in the Grail reference, Jeff, it is always appreciated.
