Two great attorneys are representing the individual plaintiffs. BCBSM's conduct was diabolical based upon witness testimony. Expect a few more verdicts like this.
In a nutshell, the basis of BCBSM's defense in each case is that the individual plaintiffs did not demonstrate a sincerely-held religious belief to justify a religious accommodation under Title VII. You can judge by the verdict how that was received by the jury.
Yes - this still enrages me, honestly. Why can't we just say no because we don't want it? Why do we need a religious exemption? And I'm a Christian. I think maybe they were using this as a way to track Christians, honestly.
On 21Dec2023, the Department of Health and Human Services and FDA issued a final ruling to amend a provision of the 21st Century Cures Act to allow:
...an exception from the requirement to obtain informed consent when a clinical investigation poses no more than a minimal risk to the human subject...
This ruling went into effect 22Jan2024.
Note that there's zero definition of "minimal risk!”
I’ll add that the Covid shots are still being called S&E!
Minimal risk with no benefit is still unacceptable. I am the judge of risk and benefit when it concerns my own safety. I am under no obligation to accept the arrogation of this authority by anyone at all.
Furthermore, HHS and FDA are taking a position for which we hanged people at Nuremberg.
There would have to be, at minimum (since they like that word so much), some reasonable standard SET OUT IN THE ENABLING RULING (sounds doubtful that it's there) in order for such a broad AND vague exception to withstand judicial review. Sorry (Not sorry).
A exemption is a state granted permission to do something which somebody 'legally' could not otherwise do. Exemption is begging. It's 'citizens' begging the tyrant daddy state. 'Citizens' reduced to slaves begging The Master. And so, where are the unalienable Rights in all of this? Where are the people the owners of government?
It gets back to the two controlling questions: 1) which is greater, the master or the servant?, and 2) where do Rights come from, God or the god state?
Last I checked the U.S.A. is a corporation and there seems to be no consensus on who owns it. My question is can a Corporation also be a Ziocracy simultaneously?
My wife recently filed her annual religious exemption - from the stupid COVID deathvax, but also for the flu vax.
You get the distinct impression that they no longer care about the COVID thing but would really rather not have medicos refusing the flu vax (not that the flu vax is ANY more effective.)
Well tough shit, Big pHARMA. You made this bed, lie in it. You've totally lost the trust of the people who are paying attention.
Do they ask specific questions relating to how exactly this goes against your religious beliefs? I would like to have some idea for when my granddaughter goes to school, as she is unvaxxed.
Right? It doesn’t take a religious reason to decide what I put in my body. If democrats can choose what to remove from their bodies, why can’t I decide what goes in?!
A big chunk of money for Whitmer’s campaigns came from contributions from interest groups affiliated with Big Med and Big Insurance. It’s why major media outlets like the Detroit News which pretends to be conservative-leaning and the Freep which makes no pretense of its leftist leanings, along with the local TV stations and radio tread lightly with Whitmer - advertising revenue from those sources.
Next step would be identifying the people who followed through with the firing. BCBS will just increase rates to cover fines and fees, but real change comes when we hold people accountable.
I’m so thankful for any justices happening! 🙏 but Oh man …I wish this for my sister!! She taught special ed in California and the county she worked for was DIRTY ! Several dissenters have a great case-but because “California” they can only appeal to the Supreme Court $$$$$$$
Yes. Mandating that poison to billions of people was the worst crime against humanity ever, resulting in at least 15 millions deaths and helping no one but Pfizer and Moderna.
The vaxx is dangerous and ineffective, but even if it were not, it would still be a crime against humanity to force mass injections of anything, much less the new Thalidomide:
He likes to claim credit, but the mRNA death jab was in the works for many years before Trump. Alway failed safety tests. The DoD was looking for an opportunity to test it on masses of innocent people, and then the Deep State needed an excuse for mail-in ballot fraud in 2020, so it all worked out well for them. And Pfizer was happy to get $100 billion for participating in the mass murder by injection, knowing that their corruption had created a law exempting themselves from responsibility. (The PREP Act)
Now Trump needs to stop claiming credit and publicly state that it is obviously dangerous and worse than ineffective.
Remember how the media was screaming that no one should take "Trump's vaccine" until the moment Bidet occupied the White House, then the exact same poison was praised to the heavens and the worst crime in human history started as billions were mandated to inject it?
After spending all our adult lives paying into the medical insurance PONZI scheme, where we paid several hundred dollars a month only to never get a dime of benefit (because we never reach our annual deductible) we ditched it entirely and put that money back into our own pocketbooks.
Divorce yourselves from these lying insurance providers and Big Medical. Put that money into a savings account and insure yourselves.
And, stay the heck away from the fake medical system.
3 years later, we have never once needed to see a doctor about anything. Never going back. Break free.
I'm in my 60’s and did not and will not enroll in Medicare. I will have NO part in the scam. I have not seen a doctor professionally since Jan. 2020.
Your mileage may vary.
But think about how much money you're paying into insurance each month. Multiply that by 12, then realize how much you'd have if you needed it, in one year, two years, three years and more.
Get healthy. Stop eating all processed foods - especially seed oils. Treat sugar like the deadly white poison it is. Go outside and bask in the sunshine.
And stay away from the BS biannual checkups (Big Pharma sales pitches.)
they are going to review legal options and their "path forward" - which means they are going to do nothing because they are beat badly due to evil manipulative bad behavior and overreach. Now they will have to lay down and take it because the success of this case only means there will be more. They deserve nothing less. Hope it bankrupts them (but not until Trump Administration FIXES HEALTH CARE) - we are going to be SO HEALTHY we won't even miss them !
Amen and Amen, happy Monday and blessed day to you all.
Praise GOD, Praise GOD and keep thanking Him for the miracle and new opportunity to live life.
Thank you Veterans and your families for all your sacrifices and giving me the undeserving privilege to live in the best country of the free world. Thank YOU
My dad, born in 1922, fought in Italy in WWII. He downplayed it, but come to find out, he earned a purple heart and other medals. His grave marker honors his service in what was then the Army Air Force, then Army, until honorably discharged in 1946. In case you're trying to do the math, I was his "40 baby." :D God bless them all!
Love the personal stories about our veteran forebears.
My dad was born in 1914. 4 years later, his father Virgil shipped to France to serve in WWI with the US Army Medical Corps.
Thanks be to God, the war ended less than a month later. I have a great photograph of him in his Doughboy uniform at the French hospital where he was stationed.
My father (Clarence) was working on some heavy equipment in the Wyoming oilfields on December 8, 1941. He heard about Pearl Harbor while working, turned his equipment off, and left it right there to drive back to Oklahoma to enlist.
Like his father, he also served in the US Army Medical Corps and when the war ended, went to medical school on the GI Bill.
These men were made of steel.
Thank you to all veterans wherever, whenever, and however you served our nation.
PS: In case you missed it, yesterday was the 249th birthday of the United States Marine Corps. On that date in 1775, some OG badasses met in Philadelphia's Tun Tavern to form the deadliest military force in history.
My husband is a Vietnam Vet. His dad was a navigator on a B-17 and shot down spending a year as a POW in Germany. For the dozen years I knew him before he passed away, he never talked of the War. But our son became fascinated by the aircraft of WWII and did so much research he could name every type of aircraft flown in that war. His dad, my husband, was a gunnery chief on a Howitzer gun and served on several LZ’s in night fights. He never talked about his time either until a military reunion group was formed. We attended one reunion and he spent hours talking to men he had not seen or heard from for 30 years. It was very revealing.
Today I volunteered lunch at our church day school. A 7th grade boy was writing the date down for snacks and I asked him if he knew what today was, and he said, Veteran’s Day. I asked him he knew it was the 11th hour, of the 11th day of the 11th month that the Armistice was signed to end WWI, and he recited it right with me. I was mildly surprised that he knew this, but also knew he is a Scout. The one day they haven’t made into a Monday holiday.
My uncle, whom I had never met, was killed when his boat was torpedoed off the coast of north Africa, (he was a Merchant Marine). My brother and sister-in-law visited his grave in the US cemetary there (Oran) this past Sept. The first family members to visit and pay respect. Gone, but not forgotten. 🙏🏻
My sweet dad attempted to enlist but was denied because of a strabismus issue, he didn't have stereo vision, and he was flat footed. But immediately after Pearl Harbor he was one of a group notified to report to the Navy. He was on a boat to Hawaii in a few short weeks. He became a Navy decoder. His section successfully solved the Midway code that ended the war. He returned as a "Sailor." No metals. Nothing gained by his position... We were told about his huge accomplishment at his funeral, when a dear friend, a flight surgeon, who had befriended him late in life, told the five of us. Daddy never told anyone but that friend. He told us where to find our dad's Navy folder. In it was a letter from the Navy and contained therein was a ribbon... "Your valiant service to this country... must not be revealed or discussed.... Thank you..." My dad came home having no "right" to speak of just what he had done. In truth, the commander was given all of the credit when he had zero to do with the decoding... He had FIVE uncles who were graduates of the Naval Academy who poked fun at him when he had no answers for what exactly he had done... took ribbing from close friends and two siblings and relatives who never knew. He never told his parents. Never even told my mom.
I have his folder now, only it's contents are now beautifully framed and hang where visitors to our home can see. I'm deeply proud of my father. He kept his word far longer than was necessary because that's who he was. He kept his own counsel, even to death.
Amen and Amen, happy Monday and blessed day to you all.
Praise GOD, Praise GOD and keep thanking Him for the miracle and new opportunity to live life.
Thank you Veterans and your families for all your sacrifices and giving me the undeserving privilege to live in the best country of the free world. Thank YOU
Amen! Back in 2010, He urged me to put together a study on His attributes and character. The backbone verse He led me to was Psalm 18:2. Just in that verse, there are at least nine attributes. I learned to pay attention to every word in every verse, for each one is there for a reason. As for today's passage, righteousness, justice, and truth are the rock to which I cling in this world that is wholly unrighteous, shamefully without justice, and seeks to upend truth at every turn. So thankful for our unchanging Lord!
Those attributions also run the opposite direction: The Apostle Paul frequently cites O.T. verses, proverbs, and prophecies in his letters ... as does our Lord Jesus Himself.
Amen and Amen, happy Monday and blessed day to you all.
Praise GOD, Praise GOD and keep thanking Him for the miracle and new opportunity to live life.
Thank you Veterans and your families for all your sacrifices and giving me the undeserving privilege to live in the best country of the free world. Thank YOU
while we are having fun watching the democrat civil war, Trump should extend a welcome, and perhaps some financial assistance, to all those European companies (particularly Germany) that have had to close because they couldn't afford power (primarily natural gas), to migrate to the US where we have plentiful and cheap natural gas to power their factories. A once in a lifetime opportunity
Homan will show us what a true Border Czar is. He has a little clean up to do while sealing the border. Great to see migrant caravans already turning around.
Or thing twice about using children as bargain chips ... and otherwise splitting up a family in the first place. And whatever the motive, these people are reprehensible invaders.
NGO is slight of hand designating. NGOs are really 'government' proxies ... just like the Ukraine is a US proxy. It's how the Cretins do their dirty work on the sly, stuff which 'they' could not do otherwise under their own umbrella.
H.I.A.S. is one of the worst. What could possibly be the motive to bring in millions of illegal third world aliens? It couldn't be to destroy legacy America, could it?
well it will help if we quit undermining their countries, sending the military in to quash 16 cent pay raises in Haiti, stealing resources, assassinating rightful leaders (who the hell are we to police election fraud?) and installing our puppets, color revolutions and unlimited arms, training their dictators at cia school for assassins https://ciaschool.tripod.com and on and on and on.
Some were not "invaders" but human trafficked here for labor with the promise of high wages. The Haitians in Springfield, Ohio (and other small towns)were given legal status so they can work. The Dole plant hired them for $12/hr. The trafficker is taking advantage of them by owning the homes they live in where they get only a cot to rent with 20+ to a home. Those that are freeloaders need to go, but those that are working can't just be deported in mass or you will have a labor issue and supply shortages and chicken, egg and other food prices soaring. I'm sure corporations employing them will negotiate to keep them here.
If I remember correctly, the citizens that worked at the Dole plant made $16/hr. So, lets see here, looks like Dole is making an additional $4/hr per illegal hired, with no reduction in price to consumers. 🤔 So, citizens can't get jobs, because the illegals are getting them for a lower wage, landlords are raising the prices on housing and kicking citizens out so illegals can move in, the illegals can buy arms and ammo with no background checks, while getting free food and additional money from the government. F Dole!
Breaking the law has consequences. If the government wouldn't be handing out all the free ones so people don't have work, filling jobs wouldn't be an issue.
I'm sorry but they are here illegally. They do not learn the language nor do they assimilate into our country but try to make our country like the country try they left.
Right. Get enough of them in one place and they'll never assimilate. They just recreate the countries they left with their own language, customs, culture and religion.
Maybe not where you are, but there are manufacturing plants, restaurants, and other around me who cant hire enough. We need to bring back manufacturing to the US, and we will need even more to work. When Social Security was created, it was 40:1. Now it is 2.8:1 and the life expectancy went from 65 to 75. That's not sustainable.
Gotta disagree. Until a few years ago, I was of the opinion we should simplify our immigration system to allow more in. (I even represented a "Dreamer" who's illegal parents brought him here as an infant.)
Yes, "mass deportation" sounds like a sales pitch. Deport the criminals, but face the fact that many won't be leaving, are not violent criminals, and will make great Americans once they figure out and follow the rules. That's our nation-of-immigrants reality.
You are correct. This country has opened the doors to them, they are now integral in our construction, service and overall economy and culture.
We will give Dems SO much power to show our “hate” if we mass deport good people.
✅Criminals yes, absolutely, be gone.
✅Close the border tight to new people, yes absolutely.
✅Stop the madness.
But we are deluding ourselves if we think clearing out towns of honest hardworking people is going to play well.
Wouldn’t YOU try for a better life if the President said come on in folks?!
Can’t blame the good people, got to blame the politicians who allowed this mess. It would be enough to just stop the incoming flow and filter out the bad actors and identify people, we don’t even know who is here & you can’t by cold meds without ID.
they don't assimilate. They don't care or have any interest or ability to learn American history, culture, language and make racial enclaves like China towns, muslim towns, Mexican towns etc. All they do is draw welfare. they are a burden and cost billions of dollars per year. Diversity isn't a strength, it's a cause of disunity, disruption and destruction. Nation of immigrants never meant third world illegal aliens have the right to come to the USA. Until the 1965 immigration act anyway. Which was done on purpose by guess who?
I believe I read that Nancy Pelosi blamed Biden for hanging on too long, thereby preventing a Democratic primary season wherein someone other than Kamala Harris would have been nominated to run against Trump. It's interesting that she chose not to blame the legions of Democrats and their buddies in the MSM who insisted Biden was sharp as a tack. Had the Democrats been realists about Biden's mental acuity, or lack of it, they could have had their usual primaries. They have only themselves to blame. At some point lies always come home to roost.
I still have the vision of Peloser ripping up Trumps speech. I bet her stock profits would be an interesting project to look into...not revenge per say but more like following the rule of law and she herself said nobody is above it!
Remember when Biden posted his endorsement for Kamala 30 minutes after he posted his 2024 election withdrawal? I will always believe Biden (or maybe Jill?) did that as a big 🖕 to Pelosi, Schumer, Obama, and others for forcing him out. I think they had no intentions for Kamala to run but they had no choice after Biden endorsed her.
That,👆, and the fact they would lose all the money donated to the Democratic Party if neither Biden nor Harris were on the ticket. Always follow the money. Crazy that Harris’ campaign is in debt. She blew through a billion $$ in weeks? I saw a chart comparing Trumps campaign vs. Harris’ campaign. Seems she spent over $500 million on employees. Starting to look like another grift. Also, Trump raised in the neighborhood of $350 million and came in under budget. Harris raised over a billion , ended up in debt and lost. Pretty much a summary of how the parties operate.
It’s been like watching a Wiley Coyote Road Runner cartoon…. Unfortunately, all to real… but our subdued smiles and hidden chuckles have been released from the dark censorship into the light of America First winners circle… a long eight years of exile….
Also, in Democrat logic, the Harris endorsement seemed to make the most "time-is-of-the-essence" sense because going with Harris supposedly solved the problems of what to do about the campaign funds and the delegates because Harris was on the ticket.
Then, he doffed his MAGA cap and when he knew kamala had won he fair skipped to give his speech. I see they are showing him tripping on the sand dines, probably trying to blame his poor judgement on her loss. Wonder if he’s done a deal with the new administration re Hunter?
He will preemptively pardon Hunter before he leaves office. Jill and Hunter will make sure of that. Whether that’s legal or not, 🤷♀️. But DJT will have bigger fish to fry and will let it slide. Nobody will have the stomach to pursue it. And Hunter will slide into oblivion (in every form).
I sure hope Biden stands firm till the end of his term, and not step aside so Kackala can be President #47! Of course, her supporters are calling for just that. Another slap at him he doesn’t deserve.
It’s funny that they continue to blame Trump voters for being low-information voters or having low IQs, less educated than them, yet all I’m seeing is that half of us have the same if not MORE higher education degrees as they do, and those on our side without degrees are actually now MORE politically educated today than ever before. We won because we are more informed, not less. 🤣
Exactly this! I keep seeing posts on X about “low information/IQ Trump voters” and it’s just infuriating. Most of the time I let it slide. If they think we are stupid, they will keep losing. But sometimes I can’t help myself and I chime in with examples of my core friend group (engineers, doctors, CPAs, executives) and the OP vanishes. Funny how that happens! 😏
I myself have two degrees (one highly technical) and at age 59 am about to go get another one in a completely different field. We are anything but uneducated. They say “well, it’s not talking down to them because we have to pay attention to the demographics and the demographics say MAGA is less educated”. Well I say their “demographics” are clearly as corrupt as their “polls”. 🤣
Sorry, they ARE talking down and it’s landing them in the dog house.
Same. Chemical engineer here. But I’m going in a slightly different direction. I decided to retire and try to let my creative side take a front seat for a while. Although I admit to still downloading large datasets and analyzing things regarding COVID and the elections too. (You can’t take the nerd out of the girl. I can’t help myself! 🤣)
Trump voters actually have MORE information than Harris voters. Level of education had absolutely nothing to do with it. Trump voters sought out information, Harris voters just lapped up whatever the media told them to believe and didn't seem to question anything!
I saw an article this morning about Justice Sotomayer not retiring. Also some goof named Jamal was on CNN saying Biden should resign and let Harris become the 47th so she wouldn't have to sign off on Trump being President. You know, cause it would be so hard for her mentally and Jamal also saying it would mess up all of Trumps 47 stuff. Scott Jennings sitting in just sat back and laughed. Someone needs to check in on Jamal and see how he's doing.
Further evidence that Kamala has to be given positions instead of earning them on her merit. Tying her coat strings to Willie Brown is how she advanced in California.
And yet mere weeks ago, she said FJB should be on Mt. Rushmore.
DemoncRATs were realists about him, they just figured they could repeat 2020 even though he was 4 years worse, cognitively. They got away w/ EVERYTHING the past 4 years: hiding FJB in the basement, cheating to win the 2020 election, WuFlu, tranny shit, censorship, lawfare (esp J6 people & Trump, but Navarro, Flynn & Bannon too), ad nauseum. They just thought they could prop him up again through another election steal & then dump him. After his pathetic debate performance it was too late & definitely so when they coup’d him.
They thought they could insert a better candidate (Newsom, MO) at the last minute. Remember BO’s comment that an “exceptional candidate will emerge” at the DNC? Then, when they realized that they wouldn’t have access to B/H war chest of 💰, decided WTH, we can paint lipstick… (you know the rest).
Biden was a took. “They” used him until he was no longer useful. I makes me really angry that they are now blaming him. There is no way he can “defend” himself.
I can't feel sorry for Biden. When you play with the devil, you will get burned. His family has so many skeletons in the closet. If I ever start to feel sorry for him, I remember the clip of him mercilessly going after Clarence Thomas with bogus sex harassment claims during his senate confirmation hearing. He was willingly a tool of the left all of his life.
Same here. The fact he chose to completely open our southern borders on his first day in office was a treasonous act aimed at all legal citizens. This act alone should be a criminal offense in my opinion.
Robin, agreed… I will n e v e r forget Biden’s “Independence Hall PA, demonic blood red Nazi background screech, September 1, 2022, displaying a hellishly angry rancid disfigured face… telling the world “Republicans are dangerous to Democracy.” JD Vance tweeted, he spoke to us like we were sewer rats. Are we supposed to forget all the threats if we don’t get “vaccinated” or how many times he called us domestic terrorist?!? Never in all our history has a US President addressed we the people in such a disgusting inappropriate for the office held polarizing destructive divisive manner… No sympathy, none… never…
Save your pity. He is a corrupt, evil man who apparently molested his own children. He deserves every single degrading comment that can be hurled at him. He deserves to be tried, along with Obama, Pelosi and Scumer for the coup of 2020. It was treason and should not be ignored.
Pride cometh before the fall...first, the OG pride and next the "Pride." When one touts their credentials and then goes about spewing egregious lies then fall, he or she or them or they or it (😝) will.
I think it's incredibly hilarious that the old saying, "He believes his own press" is actually what the media did to itself - oh, the delicious irony!!
They should’ve never let him choose Kamala either but she was his protection policy. They really thought he’d make it 8 years. Yes, the democrat party is definitely broken.
No way was that Biden. His body double slurred not a single multisyllabic word and nailed “infrastructure” on the first try. Whoever that guy is, I'll bet he’s chipper because he voted for Trump.
There's a difference between revenge and retribution. The first is about settling scores, the second about meting out fair punishment and delivering justice. While revenge isn't biblical, just retribution definitely is when exercised by the civil authority put in place by God. Bad news for the "turn the other cheek" crowd, as of January 20th that means Trump.
Watch who on our side joins the "Trump is going too far" caucus as these people need to be named. Some will just be your typical squeamish weak-willed Republicans but most will be captured plants.
Yep, many on our side will tout that we need to move forward and there’s too much to accomplish to be distracted by petty revenge. They will feel virtuous in their stance. I disagree. 1) it’s not petty revenge, it indeed is the retribution you described, and 2) many of the things we need to accomplish cannot be accomplished at all until accountability has happened and those that seek to sabotage our agenda with the very same illegal tactics are removed from the playing field. Prosecuting these players is essential to our success going forward. True justice must be seen publicly and the prosecutions will allow the full disclosure of facts in a way nothing else can do it, as headlines surely won’t.
It would be nice if Trump made it illegal to propagandize Americans again. Then MSM would have to tell the truth. And bring back habeas corpus. Obama was devastating to our liberties.
“Yep, many on our side will tout that we need to move forward and there’s too much to accomplish to be distracted by petty revenge.” Hate to admit that I needed to hear that! Thank you!
“ True justice must be seen publicly and the prosecutions will allow the full disclosure of facts in a way nothing else can do it”…. 💥💥💥🎯🎯🎯🎯👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻⚖️⚖️⚖️⚖️
Readingg those comments from the Democrat voters it makes me realize how real the koolaid is. If you knew she was that bad why did you vote for her? Just because she was a Democrat? There were other candidates on other tickets. Lord please help me not to be so stuck on Party that I would vote for someone I thought was dangerous
You are obviously not old enough to remember the long time slur used against this type of Democrat, "broom stick democrat". As in., they'll vote for a broomstick if it runs on the D ticket.
In Oklahoma, which was solidly Democrat until at least the mid-80's, the phrase was "Yellow dog Democrat" as in, "I'd vote for a yellow dog before I'd vote GOP."
"A 74-year-old man in Florida named Richard Wilbanks heroically saved his three-month-old puppy, Gunner, from the jaws of an alligator in a dramatic incident that was caught on camera. This event occurred when Wilbanks was walking near a pond in his backyard in Estero, Florida. The alligator lunged out of the water with incredible speed, grabbing Gunner. Reacting instinctively, Wilbanks leapt into the pond, wrestled the alligator, and managed to pry open its mouth to free his puppy. Remarkably, he did all this while still holding a cigar in his mouth, which he didn't drop during the rescue."
Reminded me of a crusty old neighbor I had when my children were very little. Jim was wounded on Guadalcanal, and the USMC called him back to service in Korea.
Ol' bastard was tough as hell. But he and his sweet wife doted on my youngest two - one of whom is now a badass Devil Dog himself.
Now that the Seminole Indians have gambling, the younger ones are turning their backs on alligator wrestling. Maybe this guy could get a part time gig.
The comments are wonderful from the Appel essay. I don't think that Trump broke the Democratic Party. I think that the Democrats painted themselves into a corner and are effectively holding themselves hostage. The commenters are expressing the hope that the paint will dry and life can go on.
It took Trump to hand them the paintbrush and bucket. He started immediately after the Biden flame out debate and never let up. Everytime they tried to move out of the liberal corner, he boxed them in. Masterful manipulation!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Article I, Section 3, Clause 4: “The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided.”
"The Committee of Style and Arrangement, appointed on September 8 to complete a final draft of the Constitution, added a provision that allowed the Senate to elect one of its members as the president pro tempore to preside in the absence of the vice president. The position of president pro tempore (meaning “president for a while”) originated in the state legislatures. New York, for example, specified in its constitution that whenever the lieutenant-governor “shall be unable to attend as president of the senate, the senators shall have power to elect one of their own members to the office of president of the senate, which he shall exercise [until the lieutenant governor resumes his position in the chamber].” On September 12 the Convention accepted the president pro tempore as the vice president’s temporary substitute to preside over the Senate."
Vance is constitutionally the Senate President and the senate can vote for someone to be the "President Pro Tempore." Fine. Let's do it!
I love Mike Lee's idea. But I don't want p***ed off moderate Repubs either. Trump needs Senate cooperation. They are a separate branch of government. Trump must respect that.
Article I, Section 3, Clause 4: “The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided.”
I feel hopeful too and feel the American dream is back but I also voted for DJT. Glad the left is hopeful too but I have some liberal friends that are freaking out. They are so fearful of project 2025 and claim it s Trump's agenda because of what Matt Walsh and others posted. They cannot see it is a joke and they are being trolled.
I shared the tweet with my friend also and he still couldn't see that it was a joke. It had a link to his website with the Am I racist video and still he spoke about all the worry of losing health care and doom and gloom.
Matt Walsh says "LOL" and people still don't see that he's trolling them. He then said to go to project2025.com to see all the details of the plan he supports. It's a website for his "Am I Racist?" film. People are so gullible it's scary.
Another legal win for somebody who was fired for not taking the vaccine. $13 m😁

Two great attorneys are representing the individual plaintiffs. BCBSM's conduct was diabolical based upon witness testimony. Expect a few more verdicts like this.
Hopefully a religious exemption will not be needed, eventually. Informed consent should be necessary.
In a nutshell, the basis of BCBSM's defense in each case is that the individual plaintiffs did not demonstrate a sincerely-held religious belief to justify a religious accommodation under Title VII. You can judge by the verdict how that was received by the jury.
Yes - this still enrages me, honestly. Why can't we just say no because we don't want it? Why do we need a religious exemption? And I'm a Christian. I think maybe they were using this as a way to track Christians, honestly.
The court is not the arbiter of how religious one has to be to hold religious beliefs. That is unconstitutional.
What exactly does your religious belief have to be? I think Jeff discussed this at one time years ago.
Informed consent is no more:
On 21Dec2023, the Department of Health and Human Services and FDA issued a final ruling to amend a provision of the 21st Century Cures Act to allow:
...an exception from the requirement to obtain informed consent when a clinical investigation poses no more than a minimal risk to the human subject...
This ruling went into effect 22Jan2024.
Note that there's zero definition of "minimal risk!”
I’ll add that the Covid shots are still being called S&E!
Jeff???? 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Minimal risk with no benefit is still unacceptable. I am the judge of risk and benefit when it concerns my own safety. I am under no obligation to accept the arrogation of this authority by anyone at all.
Furthermore, HHS and FDA are taking a position for which we hanged people at Nuremberg.
Can Kennedy change this?
There would have to be, at minimum (since they like that word so much), some reasonable standard SET OUT IN THE ENABLING RULING (sounds doubtful that it's there) in order for such a broad AND vague exception to withstand judicial review. Sorry (Not sorry).
Yikes!
A exemption is a state granted permission to do something which somebody 'legally' could not otherwise do. Exemption is begging. It's 'citizens' begging the tyrant daddy state. 'Citizens' reduced to slaves begging The Master. And so, where are the unalienable Rights in all of this? Where are the people the owners of government?
It gets back to the two controlling questions: 1) which is greater, the master or the servant?, and 2) where do Rights come from, God or the god state?
Religious exemptions need to be "claimed" - NOT "requested" - big difference!
Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's.
That which is Caesar's does NOT include an American citizen's body, thoughts, religious beliefs, or privately-held property.
Pretty simple, actually ... and is so often the case, Scriptures provide wise guidance.
Last I checked the U.S.A. is a corporation and there seems to be no consensus on who owns it. My question is can a Corporation also be a Ziocracy simultaneously?
My wife recently filed her annual religious exemption - from the stupid COVID deathvax, but also for the flu vax.
You get the distinct impression that they no longer care about the COVID thing but would really rather not have medicos refusing the flu vax (not that the flu vax is ANY more effective.)
Well tough shit, Big pHARMA. You made this bed, lie in it. You've totally lost the trust of the people who are paying attention.
Do they ask specific questions relating to how exactly this goes against your religious beliefs? I would like to have some idea for when my granddaughter goes to school, as she is unvaxxed.
Right? It doesn’t take a religious reason to decide what I put in my body. If democrats can choose what to remove from their bodies, why can’t I decide what goes in?!
Seriously. As a researcher as soon as I saw there was no real consent it was obvious it was a total lie and farce and no one should comply.
Keep both
And our lovely, (not), Governor’s father was president of BCBS.
Whitmer for Gitmo
Worst. Governor. Ever.
Let her share a cell with Cuomo and JB (recognizing that JB takes up enough room for three people).
Go Dooga
A big chunk of money for Whitmer’s campaigns came from contributions from interest groups affiliated with Big Med and Big Insurance. It’s why major media outlets like the Detroit News which pretends to be conservative-leaning and the Freep which makes no pretense of its leftist leanings, along with the local TV stations and radio tread lightly with Whitmer - advertising revenue from those sources.
Detroit news are fakers
The witch
❤️😇
Next step would be identifying the people who followed through with the firing. BCBS will just increase rates to cover fines and fees, but real change comes when we hold people accountable.
They need to be hunted down and prosecuted like the Mossad did to the escaped Nazis after the war.
And like they are doing to Palestinians now! What a torn down place Gaza is!!!
Exactly. Otherwise it's all the Anthem customers who foot the bill.
I’m so thankful for any justices happening! 🙏 but Oh man …I wish this for my sister!! She taught special ed in California and the county she worked for was DIRTY ! Several dissenters have a great case-but because “California” they can only appeal to the Supreme Court $$$$$$$
Pacific Justice institute are the ones who handled the case in San Francisco. They won 8 million. .
Great organization to which I donate.
Thanks Kathy !! I’m passing this on!
❤️
Yes Lord, we ask for justice to be given for this sister, in Jesus Name!
Thank youuuuu ! 🙏
I hops your sister gets her 13 million soon!
Bravo. Time to go after the corporations and companies that fired people for not taking the vaccine.
Yes. Mandating that poison to billions of people was the worst crime against humanity ever, resulting in at least 15 millions deaths and helping no one but Pfizer and Moderna.
The vaxx is dangerous and ineffective, but even if it were not, it would still be a crime against humanity to force mass injections of anything, much less the new Thalidomide:
https://patrick.net/post/1377537/2022-11-03-everyone-who-imposed-toxxine-mandates
Amen, Patrick! Double amen! 🙏
That’s gonna be a very interesting logical twist because the president elect is the one who made it.
He likes to claim credit, but the mRNA death jab was in the works for many years before Trump. Alway failed safety tests. The DoD was looking for an opportunity to test it on masses of innocent people, and then the Deep State needed an excuse for mail-in ballot fraud in 2020, so it all worked out well for them. And Pfizer was happy to get $100 billion for participating in the mass murder by injection, knowing that their corruption had created a law exempting themselves from responsibility. (The PREP Act)
Now Trump needs to stop claiming credit and publicly state that it is obviously dangerous and worse than ineffective.
Remember how the media was screaming that no one should take "Trump's vaccine" until the moment Bidet occupied the White House, then the exact same poison was praised to the heavens and the worst crime in human history started as billions were mandated to inject it?
Oh so that's why my BCBS health insurance went up almost $37 a month!
Do as my medico wife and I did 3 years ago.
After spending all our adult lives paying into the medical insurance PONZI scheme, where we paid several hundred dollars a month only to never get a dime of benefit (because we never reach our annual deductible) we ditched it entirely and put that money back into our own pocketbooks.
Divorce yourselves from these lying insurance providers and Big Medical. Put that money into a savings account and insure yourselves.
And, stay the heck away from the fake medical system.
3 years later, we have never once needed to see a doctor about anything. Never going back. Break free.
That is great until you get into your 60s. Medicare is a blessing, and illnesses and tests are far beyond what you can save.
I'm in my 60’s and did not and will not enroll in Medicare. I will have NO part in the scam. I have not seen a doctor professionally since Jan. 2020.
Your mileage may vary.
But think about how much money you're paying into insurance each month. Multiply that by 12, then realize how much you'd have if you needed it, in one year, two years, three years and more.
Get healthy. Stop eating all processed foods - especially seed oils. Treat sugar like the deadly white poison it is. Go outside and bask in the sunshine.
And stay away from the BS biannual checkups (Big Pharma sales pitches.)
Yep ! Great story.....again, HOPEFUL!
they are going to review legal options and their "path forward" - which means they are going to do nothing because they are beat badly due to evil manipulative bad behavior and overreach. Now they will have to lay down and take it because the success of this case only means there will be more. They deserve nothing less. Hope it bankrupts them (but not until Trump Administration FIXES HEALTH CARE) - we are going to be SO HEALTHY we won't even miss them !
BCBS: "We respect religious freedom"
Also BCBS: except for ANYONE who put in a religious exemption for the COVID jab
Came here to share this. You beat me to it.
GREAT news!!!
Good! That’s great news. Now do the rest of the mil
“While Blue Cross respects the jury process and thanks the individual jurors for their service, we are disappointed in the verdict.”
😡
The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours;
The world and its fullness, You have founded them.
The north and the south, You have created them;
Tabor and Hermon sing with joy at Your name.
You have a mighty arm;
Your hand is strong, Your right hand is exalted.
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne;
Lovingkindness and truth go before You.

“The right hand of the Lord hath wrought strength: the right hand of the Lord hath exalted me.
I shall not die, but live: and shall declare the works of the Lord.”
Psalm 117: 16, 17
I had to share this today. The Lord has brought it to my mind for the last several days. 🙏🏻
I have repeated this verse many times! I shall declare every chance I get!!!
I’m repeating this verse, myself. The Lord brought it to my attention the other day and it was emphasized in Church Sunday.
Amen and Amen, happy Monday and blessed day to you all.
Praise GOD, Praise GOD and keep thanking Him for the miracle and new opportunity to live life.
Thank you Veterans and your families for all your sacrifices and giving me the undeserving privilege to live in the best country of the free world. Thank YOU
My dad, born in 1922, fought in Italy in WWII. He downplayed it, but come to find out, he earned a purple heart and other medals. His grave marker honors his service in what was then the Army Air Force, then Army, until honorably discharged in 1946. In case you're trying to do the math, I was his "40 baby." :D God bless them all!
Indeed…but also a big thank you to you for keeping all of us grounded in the WORD OF GOD.
THANK YOU.
It is a blessing that Jeff is on the same page as the rest of us believers!
Love the personal stories about our veteran forebears.
My dad was born in 1914. 4 years later, his father Virgil shipped to France to serve in WWI with the US Army Medical Corps.
Thanks be to God, the war ended less than a month later. I have a great photograph of him in his Doughboy uniform at the French hospital where he was stationed.
My father (Clarence) was working on some heavy equipment in the Wyoming oilfields on December 8, 1941. He heard about Pearl Harbor while working, turned his equipment off, and left it right there to drive back to Oklahoma to enlist.
Like his father, he also served in the US Army Medical Corps and when the war ended, went to medical school on the GI Bill.
These men were made of steel.
Thank you to all veterans wherever, whenever, and however you served our nation.
PS: In case you missed it, yesterday was the 249th birthday of the United States Marine Corps. On that date in 1775, some OG badasses met in Philadelphia's Tun Tavern to form the deadliest military force in history.
Happy Birthday, you magnificent bastards!
Standing O for this post!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
My husband is a Vietnam Vet. His dad was a navigator on a B-17 and shot down spending a year as a POW in Germany. For the dozen years I knew him before he passed away, he never talked of the War. But our son became fascinated by the aircraft of WWII and did so much research he could name every type of aircraft flown in that war. His dad, my husband, was a gunnery chief on a Howitzer gun and served on several LZ’s in night fights. He never talked about his time either until a military reunion group was formed. We attended one reunion and he spent hours talking to men he had not seen or heard from for 30 years. It was very revealing.
Today I volunteered lunch at our church day school. A 7th grade boy was writing the date down for snacks and I asked him if he knew what today was, and he said, Veteran’s Day. I asked him he knew it was the 11th hour, of the 11th day of the 11th month that the Armistice was signed to end WWI, and he recited it right with me. I was mildly surprised that he knew this, but also knew he is a Scout. The one day they haven’t made into a Monday holiday.
That is wonderful to hear!
My father-in-law was also in the Army Air Force. Was in France. My dad and his two brothers were also WWII veterans. The Greatest Generation!
My uncle, whom I had never met, was killed when his boat was torpedoed off the coast of north Africa, (he was a Merchant Marine). My brother and sister-in-law visited his grave in the US cemetary there (Oran) this past Sept. The first family members to visit and pay respect. Gone, but not forgotten. 🙏🏻
Let us not forget the brave and indispensable sailors of the Merchant Marine. Their service was key to the victory in WW2.
Without their service, we could not have won.
My sweet dad attempted to enlist but was denied because of a strabismus issue, he didn't have stereo vision, and he was flat footed. But immediately after Pearl Harbor he was one of a group notified to report to the Navy. He was on a boat to Hawaii in a few short weeks. He became a Navy decoder. His section successfully solved the Midway code that ended the war. He returned as a "Sailor." No metals. Nothing gained by his position... We were told about his huge accomplishment at his funeral, when a dear friend, a flight surgeon, who had befriended him late in life, told the five of us. Daddy never told anyone but that friend. He told us where to find our dad's Navy folder. In it was a letter from the Navy and contained therein was a ribbon... "Your valiant service to this country... must not be revealed or discussed.... Thank you..." My dad came home having no "right" to speak of just what he had done. In truth, the commander was given all of the credit when he had zero to do with the decoding... He had FIVE uncles who were graduates of the Naval Academy who poked fun at him when he had no answers for what exactly he had done... took ribbing from close friends and two siblings and relatives who never knew. He never told his parents. Never even told my mom.
I have his folder now, only it's contents are now beautifully framed and hang where visitors to our home can see. I'm deeply proud of my father. He kept his word far longer than was necessary because that's who he was. He kept his own counsel, even to death.
God bless your father for his deep and enduring sacrifice.
These men were exactly the "strong silent type" we grew up idolizing in the movies.
Thank you for telling his story.
Thank you. He was such a blessing to many. Never, ever one to brag or inflate himself. He was content in his deep faith.
It is men like your dad who made this country so great. Thanks for sharing that story especially on Veterans Day!
Thank you! He was a blessing!
That is a great testimony for your father. I salute him.
Thank you! I miss him terribly. Forever humbled by his faith and love.
Amen and Amen, happy Monday and blessed day to you all.
Praise GOD, Praise GOD and keep thanking Him for the miracle and new opportunity to live life.
Thank you Veterans and your families for all your sacrifices and giving me the undeserving privilege to live in the best country of the free world. Thank YOU
"It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayers, but you are making it a den of robbers."
---Mathew 21:13.
I just love seeing varied attributes of God proclaimed together
through passages like this. He is strong with a mighty arm, He sits
on a foundation of righteousness and justice, and lovingkindness goes before Him
along with truth. Praise the Lord, I have found Him to be all these things to me💜
Amen! Back in 2010, He urged me to put together a study on His attributes and character. The backbone verse He led me to was Psalm 18:2. Just in that verse, there are at least nine attributes. I learned to pay attention to every word in every verse, for each one is there for a reason. As for today's passage, righteousness, justice, and truth are the rock to which I cling in this world that is wholly unrighteous, shamefully without justice, and seeks to upend truth at every turn. So thankful for our unchanging Lord!
Those attributions also run the opposite direction: The Apostle Paul frequently cites O.T. verses, proverbs, and prophecies in his letters ... as does our Lord Jesus Himself.
Amen and Amen, happy Monday and blessed day to you all.
Praise GOD, Praise GOD and keep thanking Him for the miracle and new opportunity to live life.
Thank you Veterans and your families for all your sacrifices and giving me the undeserving privilege to live in the best country of the free world. Thank YOU
Isn't that wonderful, the image that the very mountains have a spirit with which to praise God.
Amen!
Amen sister
“As Trump Returns to Power, Allies and Adversaries Expect a Wave of Revenge.”
It's called "accountability", not revenge.
It's called justice.
while we are having fun watching the democrat civil war, Trump should extend a welcome, and perhaps some financial assistance, to all those European companies (particularly Germany) that have had to close because they couldn't afford power (primarily natural gas), to migrate to the US where we have plentiful and cheap natural gas to power their factories. A once in a lifetime opportunity
Great idea, as long as we import German heavy hitters with a little more discretion than we did in the last century.
Let’s provide incentives to American owned companies first.
Great Idea!!!
Great idea!
Exactly! There’s a major opportunity to break the Russian economy and give Americans jobs
Yes! The left only knows revenge, no clue about accountability…
Homan will show us what a true Border Czar is. He has a little clean up to do while sealing the border. Great to see migrant caravans already turning around.
We cannot let the MSM label Trump's appointees. We are submitting to their narrative.
Yep.
Using "Czar" is a sly joke/jab at the Dims.
FEMA was giving them money and housing in Illinois
Plenty of those "separated" children's DNA didn't match the "family".
Or thing twice about using children as bargain chips ... and otherwise splitting up a family in the first place. And whatever the motive, these people are reprehensible invaders.
NGO is slight of hand designating. NGOs are really 'government' proxies ... just like the Ukraine is a US proxy. It's how the Cretins do their dirty work on the sly, stuff which 'they' could not do otherwise under their own umbrella.
H.I.A.S. is one of the worst. What could possibly be the motive to bring in millions of illegal third world aliens? It couldn't be to destroy legacy America, could it?
I saw a video of Homan explaining how families can avoid being separated: they all get deported together.
well it will help if we quit undermining their countries, sending the military in to quash 16 cent pay raises in Haiti, stealing resources, assassinating rightful leaders (who the hell are we to police election fraud?) and installing our puppets, color revolutions and unlimited arms, training their dictators at cia school for assassins https://ciaschool.tripod.com and on and on and on.
We need to abolish the CIA. The CIA does nothing good and kills many people..
I'm totally with ya on that one!
me too
Exactly! You did your homework! 👍
Some were not "invaders" but human trafficked here for labor with the promise of high wages. The Haitians in Springfield, Ohio (and other small towns)were given legal status so they can work. The Dole plant hired them for $12/hr. The trafficker is taking advantage of them by owning the homes they live in where they get only a cot to rent with 20+ to a home. Those that are freeloaders need to go, but those that are working can't just be deported in mass or you will have a labor issue and supply shortages and chicken, egg and other food prices soaring. I'm sure corporations employing them will negotiate to keep them here.
If I remember correctly, the citizens that worked at the Dole plant made $16/hr. So, lets see here, looks like Dole is making an additional $4/hr per illegal hired, with no reduction in price to consumers. 🤔 So, citizens can't get jobs, because the illegals are getting them for a lower wage, landlords are raising the prices on housing and kicking citizens out so illegals can move in, the illegals can buy arms and ammo with no background checks, while getting free food and additional money from the government. F Dole!
Do I recall that landlords are getting paid a certain dollar amount per immigrant housed in their rental? I'd like to see the rent differential.
"GET OUT" are the only words for the illegals now...i don't care what bullshit "family " they have invented...
#GETTHEFUCKOUT
Right there with you.
Deportation gonna cause you a hardship? Aww. Too bad.
GET THE F OUTTA HERE YESTERDAY
Breaking the law has consequences. If the government wouldn't be handing out all the free ones so people don't have work, filling jobs wouldn't be an issue.
I'm sorry but they are here illegally. They do not learn the language nor do they assimilate into our country but try to make our country like the country try they left.
Right. Get enough of them in one place and they'll never assimilate. They just recreate the countries they left with their own language, customs, culture and religion.
No, there’s no labor shortage at all, plenty of Americans would love those jobs.
Maybe not where you are, but there are manufacturing plants, restaurants, and other around me who cant hire enough. We need to bring back manufacturing to the US, and we will need even more to work. When Social Security was created, it was 40:1. Now it is 2.8:1 and the life expectancy went from 65 to 75. That's not sustainable.
Gotta disagree. Until a few years ago, I was of the opinion we should simplify our immigration system to allow more in. (I even represented a "Dreamer" who's illegal parents brought him here as an infant.)
But that was then, this is now.
I demand Mass Deportations. Get out, NOW!
Yes, "mass deportation" sounds like a sales pitch. Deport the criminals, but face the fact that many won't be leaving, are not violent criminals, and will make great Americans once they figure out and follow the rules. That's our nation-of-immigrants reality.
BUT it sets the precedent that illegal behavior is justified.
You are correct. This country has opened the doors to them, they are now integral in our construction, service and overall economy and culture.
We will give Dems SO much power to show our “hate” if we mass deport good people.
✅Criminals yes, absolutely, be gone.
✅Close the border tight to new people, yes absolutely.
✅Stop the madness.
But we are deluding ourselves if we think clearing out towns of honest hardworking people is going to play well.
Wouldn’t YOU try for a better life if the President said come on in folks?!
Can’t blame the good people, got to blame the politicians who allowed this mess. It would be enough to just stop the incoming flow and filter out the bad actors and identify people, we don’t even know who is here & you can’t by cold meds without ID.
Common sense needs to prevail.
They do not assimilate into our country. They broke the law. Come in legally just like our ancestors and millions have done.
DEPORT THEM ALL!
they don't assimilate. They don't care or have any interest or ability to learn American history, culture, language and make racial enclaves like China towns, muslim towns, Mexican towns etc. All they do is draw welfare. they are a burden and cost billions of dollars per year. Diversity isn't a strength, it's a cause of disunity, disruption and destruction. Nation of immigrants never meant third world illegal aliens have the right to come to the USA. Until the 1965 immigration act anyway. Which was done on purpose by guess who?
I believe I read that Nancy Pelosi blamed Biden for hanging on too long, thereby preventing a Democratic primary season wherein someone other than Kamala Harris would have been nominated to run against Trump. It's interesting that she chose not to blame the legions of Democrats and their buddies in the MSM who insisted Biden was sharp as a tack. Had the Democrats been realists about Biden's mental acuity, or lack of it, they could have had their usual primaries. They have only themselves to blame. At some point lies always come home to roost.
I still have the vision of Peloser ripping up Trumps speech. I bet her stock profits would be an interesting project to look into...not revenge per say but more like following the rule of law and she herself said nobody is above it!
That was dreadful. She is awful.
🔥🔥🔥⚡⚡⚡💥💥💥 May Nanshee have a major financial colonoscopy!!!

I’ll never forget that horrible gesture… wicked!
Remember when Biden posted his endorsement for Kamala 30 minutes after he posted his 2024 election withdrawal? I will always believe Biden (or maybe Jill?) did that as a big 🖕 to Pelosi, Schumer, Obama, and others for forcing him out. I think they had no intentions for Kamala to run but they had no choice after Biden endorsed her.
That,👆, and the fact they would lose all the money donated to the Democratic Party if neither Biden nor Harris were on the ticket. Always follow the money. Crazy that Harris’ campaign is in debt. She blew through a billion $$ in weeks? I saw a chart comparing Trumps campaign vs. Harris’ campaign. Seems she spent over $500 million on employees. Starting to look like another grift. Also, Trump raised in the neighborhood of $350 million and came in under budget. Harris raised over a billion , ended up in debt and lost. Pretty much a summary of how the parties operate.
The DNC is a money laundering organization.
Remember Trump didn't spend anywhere near Hillary in 2016 either!
That was great! Biden locked her in.
I heard the morning after the election that Jill was all smiles.
Jill wore all red when she voted. Subtle message and a huge smile.
It’s been like watching a Wiley Coyote Road Runner cartoon…. Unfortunately, all to real… but our subdued smiles and hidden chuckles have been released from the dark censorship into the light of America First winners circle… a long eight years of exile….
VP Cackles was such a trainwreck so Brandon didn’t have to do much to make it happen?
Also, in Democrat logic, the Harris endorsement seemed to make the most "time-is-of-the-essence" sense because going with Harris supposedly solved the problems of what to do about the campaign funds and the delegates because Harris was on the ticket.
What they did was illegal. Read Dr Naomi Wolf. She explains it in detail.
Then, he doffed his MAGA cap and when he knew kamala had won he fair skipped to give his speech. I see they are showing him tripping on the sand dines, probably trying to blame his poor judgement on her loss. Wonder if he’s done a deal with the new administration re Hunter?
He will preemptively pardon Hunter before he leaves office. Jill and Hunter will make sure of that. Whether that’s legal or not, 🤷♀️. But DJT will have bigger fish to fry and will let it slide. Nobody will have the stomach to pursue it. And Hunter will slide into oblivion (in every form).
The ultimate recipient of Biden's F.U. was The One, Barack Hussein Obama his own self.
Mister Preen has sported a furious and miserable face ever since the election.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Yep. Bye-bye 💰.
They can't stop proving that evil is stupid.
1000% agree. And i believe he hoped she would loose.
If that was true, then what a Bite!
I sure hope Biden stands firm till the end of his term, and not step aside so Kackala can be President #47! Of course, her supporters are calling for just that. Another slap at him he doesn’t deserve.
IDK, but my intuition thinks Jill will never allow that.
It’s funny that they continue to blame Trump voters for being low-information voters or having low IQs, less educated than them, yet all I’m seeing is that half of us have the same if not MORE higher education degrees as they do, and those on our side without degrees are actually now MORE politically educated today than ever before. We won because we are more informed, not less. 🤣
Exactly this! I keep seeing posts on X about “low information/IQ Trump voters” and it’s just infuriating. Most of the time I let it slide. If they think we are stupid, they will keep losing. But sometimes I can’t help myself and I chime in with examples of my core friend group (engineers, doctors, CPAs, executives) and the OP vanishes. Funny how that happens! 😏
Remember: whatever they call us is projection. I don't mind them insulting themselves.
I myself have two degrees (one highly technical) and at age 59 am about to go get another one in a completely different field. We are anything but uneducated. They say “well, it’s not talking down to them because we have to pay attention to the demographics and the demographics say MAGA is less educated”. Well I say their “demographics” are clearly as corrupt as their “polls”. 🤣
Sorry, they ARE talking down and it’s landing them in the dog house.
Same. Chemical engineer here. But I’m going in a slightly different direction. I decided to retire and try to let my creative side take a front seat for a while. Although I admit to still downloading large datasets and analyzing things regarding COVID and the elections too. (You can’t take the nerd out of the girl. I can’t help myself! 🤣)
Yeah who was it, Joy Reid or Sonny Hostin? specifically and repeatedly pronouncing "uneducated white women" as the problem? 🤣
Seems that every claim they make is 180 degrees from truth.
They blame the other side for everything they themselves do.
Trump voters actually have MORE information than Harris voters. Level of education had absolutely nothing to do with it. Trump voters sought out information, Harris voters just lapped up whatever the media told them to believe and didn't seem to question anything!
Yep!!! Have resisted the urge to point that out, but have to admit I was tempted.
This is pretty rich coming from Nancy Pelosi, who, at 84 years old (!), is still bitterly clinging to her own position of political power.
She has such a knack for stock picks tho.
https://valueinvesting.io/nancy-pelosi-stock-trades-tracker
🎯
Thought the exact same thing! Yet she just won another 2 years so she’ll be 86 then and I bet she doesn’t quit
Her 20th election!
I saw an article this morning about Justice Sotomayer not retiring. Also some goof named Jamal was on CNN saying Biden should resign and let Harris become the 47th so she wouldn't have to sign off on Trump being President. You know, cause it would be so hard for her mentally and Jamal also saying it would mess up all of Trumps 47 stuff. Scott Jennings sitting in just sat back and laughed. Someone needs to check in on Jamal and see how he's doing.
I bet there are a lot of Dems desperate to claim that “first woman president” medal.
And then they can say ‘Trump stole it from her’ 🤣
Further evidence that Kamala has to be given positions instead of earning them on her merit. Tying her coat strings to Willie Brown is how she advanced in California.
Kind of a cool thought. Speaker of the House becomes VP. Certifies election, making a BIG deal out of it!
And yet mere weeks ago, she said FJB should be on Mt. Rushmore.
DemoncRATs were realists about him, they just figured they could repeat 2020 even though he was 4 years worse, cognitively. They got away w/ EVERYTHING the past 4 years: hiding FJB in the basement, cheating to win the 2020 election, WuFlu, tranny shit, censorship, lawfare (esp J6 people & Trump, but Navarro, Flynn & Bannon too), ad nauseum. They just thought they could prop him up again through another election steal & then dump him. After his pathetic debate performance it was too late & definitely so when they coup’d him.
She probably meant, literally on Mt Rushmore, so she could push him off!!!😂😵
Indeed! Mmmmmwwwwwaaaaaaahhhhhhh!
😂
Or spread his ashes there! No, that would desecrate a great monument.
Wouldn't it be ironic if Trump's face ended up at Mount Rushmore!!
They thought they could insert a better candidate (Newsom, MO) at the last minute. Remember BO’s comment that an “exceptional candidate will emerge” at the DNC? Then, when they realized that they wouldn’t have access to B/H war chest of 💰, decided WTH, we can paint lipstick… (you know the rest).
Biden was a took. “They” used him until he was no longer useful. I makes me really angry that they are now blaming him. There is no way he can “defend” himself.
I can't feel sorry for Biden. When you play with the devil, you will get burned. His family has so many skeletons in the closet. If I ever start to feel sorry for him, I remember the clip of him mercilessly going after Clarence Thomas with bogus sex harassment claims during his senate confirmation hearing. He was willingly a tool of the left all of his life.
Same here. The fact he chose to completely open our southern borders on his first day in office was a treasonous act aimed at all legal citizens. This act alone should be a criminal offense in my opinion.
Course, I don't know that he knew what he was signing. They just handed him a stack of papers and a pen and said "Sign here. And Don't ask questions!"
Robin, agreed… I will n e v e r forget Biden’s “Independence Hall PA, demonic blood red Nazi background screech, September 1, 2022, displaying a hellishly angry rancid disfigured face… telling the world “Republicans are dangerous to Democracy.” JD Vance tweeted, he spoke to us like we were sewer rats. Are we supposed to forget all the threats if we don’t get “vaccinated” or how many times he called us domestic terrorist?!? Never in all our history has a US President addressed we the people in such a disgusting inappropriate for the office held polarizing destructive divisive manner… No sympathy, none… never…
I will never forget his winter of death rhetoric against the unvaxxed
I thought of that same speech!
Exactly.
Waiting for Biden to pardon Hunter.....
Save your pity. He is a corrupt, evil man who apparently molested his own children. He deserves every single degrading comment that can be hurled at him. He deserves to be tried, along with Obama, Pelosi and Scumer for the coup of 2020. It was treason and should not be ignored.
Saw some of the direct comparisons in PA where she didn’t get close to his “votes” in any county. “Not one?” asked the flummoxed anchor. 🤣😖
Pride cometh before the fall...first, the OG pride and next the "Pride." When one touts their credentials and then goes about spewing egregious lies then fall, he or she or them or they or it (😝) will.
I think it's incredibly hilarious that the old saying, "He believes his own press" is actually what the media did to itself - oh, the delicious irony!!
Umm .... Nancy Pelosi has "hung on for too long". She and her eastern / male counterpart, Sir Schumah.
RFK Jr. might have won their Primary,
I they could not allow that to happen.
They should’ve never let him choose Kamala either but she was his protection policy. They really thought he’d make it 8 years. Yes, the democrat party is definitely broken.
No way was that Biden. His body double slurred not a single multisyllabic word and nailed “infrastructure” on the first try. Whoever that guy is, I'll bet he’s chipper because he voted for Trump.
You ask a very good question! Who the heck is that?
🧐😳😵💫⁉️🤨
A Veterans Day thought:
Young White men are only 10% of the population, but 98% of the military deaths.
"War can't give life, it can only take it away“ - Edwin Starr, War (great song)
God bless our troops. Keep them safe until Trump brings them home.
Trump won’t do any of that. Look at his prior history from 2017-2021
God rest them all in peace.
Trauma never treated. Now the entire world population is living with trauma brain. No one can think wisely but too many are experts full of knowledge.
Since definition altercations were all the rage the past few years (vaccines, woman) maybe we need to redefine "War"

There's a difference between revenge and retribution. The first is about settling scores, the second about meting out fair punishment and delivering justice. While revenge isn't biblical, just retribution definitely is when exercised by the civil authority put in place by God. Bad news for the "turn the other cheek" crowd, as of January 20th that means Trump.
Watch who on our side joins the "Trump is going too far" caucus as these people need to be named. Some will just be your typical squeamish weak-willed Republicans but most will be captured plants.
Yep, many on our side will tout that we need to move forward and there’s too much to accomplish to be distracted by petty revenge. They will feel virtuous in their stance. I disagree. 1) it’s not petty revenge, it indeed is the retribution you described, and 2) many of the things we need to accomplish cannot be accomplished at all until accountability has happened and those that seek to sabotage our agenda with the very same illegal tactics are removed from the playing field. Prosecuting these players is essential to our success going forward. True justice must be seen publicly and the prosecutions will allow the full disclosure of facts in a way nothing else can do it, as headlines surely won’t.
Exactly without accountability nothing changes, worse yet it emboldens. Things learned as a supervisor - What you Permit - you Promote!
It would be nice if Trump made it illegal to propagandize Americans again. Then MSM would have to tell the truth. And bring back habeas corpus. Obama was devastating to our liberties.
“Yep, many on our side will tout that we need to move forward and there’s too much to accomplish to be distracted by petty revenge.” Hate to admit that I needed to hear that! Thank you!
“ True justice must be seen publicly and the prosecutions will allow the full disclosure of facts in a way nothing else can do it”…. 💥💥💥🎯🎯🎯🎯👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻⚖️⚖️⚖️⚖️
We don't even have to call it that. "Justice" works just fine.
Yeah but I like alliteration.
Warren Zevon's Werewolf's of London : " Little old ladies got mutilated late last night". Best alliteration I know of in rock.
Just so. Great catch.
Nailed it 🎯
I agree. Cleaning house is not the same as blowing up the house.
Excellent point and there are many who have broken the law
As a retired U.S. Navy vet. I think/ wish we would get rid of the UN in NY and use that building for the care and lodging of US Veterans.
Only after a thorough and complete exorcism of the demons and bad energy in that building. and then YES!
Love this idea
me too
Thank you for your service.
Readingg those comments from the Democrat voters it makes me realize how real the koolaid is. If you knew she was that bad why did you vote for her? Just because she was a Democrat? There were other candidates on other tickets. Lord please help me not to be so stuck on Party that I would vote for someone I thought was dangerous
You are obviously not old enough to remember the long time slur used against this type of Democrat, "broom stick democrat". As in., they'll vote for a broomstick if it runs on the D ticket.
“Blue no matter who” democrats
In the south it was known as yellow dog democrats. Bless their hearts.
That I have heard
In Oklahoma, which was solidly Democrat until at least the mid-80's, the phrase was "Yellow dog Democrat" as in, "I'd vote for a yellow dog before I'd vote GOP."
Only fair. They sure are good at riding them.
I have never be heard that comment that is funny though
Most Dems I know are “Anyone but Trump” voters. Not completely braindead but definitely impaired.
Yes! Isn’t that an indication of being uneducated, or at the least, being close-minded and intolerant of other ideas?
Im overjoyed Homan was made head of getting rid of the illegals, God works in wonderful mysterious ways.
I know, this ain't facebook. But: "A 74-year-old man in Florida pulled his puppy out of an alligator's mouth."
https://x.com/AMAZlNGNATURE/status/1854937079605592380
"A 74-year-old man in Florida named Richard Wilbanks heroically saved his three-month-old puppy, Gunner, from the jaws of an alligator in a dramatic incident that was caught on camera. This event occurred when Wilbanks was walking near a pond in his backyard in Estero, Florida. The alligator lunged out of the water with incredible speed, grabbing Gunner. Reacting instinctively, Wilbanks leapt into the pond, wrestled the alligator, and managed to pry open its mouth to free his puppy. Remarkably, he did all this while still holding a cigar in his mouth, which he didn't drop during the rescue."
With Bidenflation and the price of cigars, those days...
Reminded me of a crusty old neighbor I had when my children were very little. Jim was wounded on Guadalcanal, and the USMC called him back to service in Korea.
Ol' bastard was tough as hell. But he and his sweet wife doted on my youngest two - one of whom is now a badass Devil Dog himself.
RIP and Happy Veteran's Day, Jim.
Now that the Seminole Indians have gambling, the younger ones are turning their backs on alligator wrestling. Maybe this guy could get a part time gig.
And a fresh cigar.
When the shit hits the fan way way out in the future, I want to be on this man's side of the fight!!!!!
I would definitely buy him a box of his favorite cigars and try to be his friend.
LOL!!!!
Wow! You seemed to find remarkable items to add to the day’s post. Thank you
We’re crazy, but we’re fun.🤪
love it
Awesome video! Thanks!
Definitely a big hat tip to the person who got the recording. Pretty remarkable.
Complete with cigar snuggly in his mouth! Priceless!
Anyone expecting revenge is acknowledging they did something wrong. I guess this is the best apology we can expect.
Especially since they all said nobody is above the law.
Excellent point.
The comments are wonderful from the Appel essay. I don't think that Trump broke the Democratic Party. I think that the Democrats painted themselves into a corner and are effectively holding themselves hostage. The commenters are expressing the hope that the paint will dry and life can go on.
Joe Biden is also feeling hopeful that Trump won, or maybe he's just feeling vengeful and vindicated....
He's got to be relieved he doesn't have to show up for work even a few days a year, and can retire for good?
He's headed for the beach. Life after presidency is pretty much the same old - same old.
Wonder if he's going to get 10% for the big guy from anywhere though.
It's possible he was so chipper because they told him they won't withhold his ice cream anymore, if he doesn't get things right.
It took Trump to hand them the paintbrush and bucket. He started immediately after the Biden flame out debate and never let up. Everytime they tried to move out of the liberal corner, he boxed them in. Masterful manipulation!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Scott for majority leader. Or Vance. 😉
Vance makes SO much sense and from what I've read, it is what the framers
originally had in mind...unless I've been misinformed?
I didn’t know he could that. Vance for Senate Republican leader, THAT’S A GREAT IDEA
Article I, Section 3, Clause 4: “The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided.”
Thank you! And, further more, from https://www.senate.gov/about/origins-foundations/senate-and-constitution.htm:
"The Committee of Style and Arrangement, appointed on September 8 to complete a final draft of the Constitution, added a provision that allowed the Senate to elect one of its members as the president pro tempore to preside in the absence of the vice president. The position of president pro tempore (meaning “president for a while”) originated in the state legislatures. New York, for example, specified in its constitution that whenever the lieutenant-governor “shall be unable to attend as president of the senate, the senators shall have power to elect one of their own members to the office of president of the senate, which he shall exercise [until the lieutenant governor resumes his position in the chamber].” On September 12 the Convention accepted the president pro tempore as the vice president’s temporary substitute to preside over the Senate."
Vance is constitutionally the Senate President and the senate can vote for someone to be the "President Pro Tempore." Fine. Let's do it!
Light up the phone lines to your senators! Cornyn is a mini-mitch, and Thune is no better.
I love Mike Lee's idea. But I don't want p***ed off moderate Repubs either. Trump needs Senate cooperation. They are a separate branch of government. Trump must respect that.
Excuse me? They are supposed to be "our" trustees. Remember we pay their salaries
Then we must pressure them. Not the president elect.
Not Vance. We need to keep separation of powers. We wouldn't want the Democrats to do it. Same thing with increasing the number of SCOTUS judges.
Article I, Section 3, Clause 4: “The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided.”
I was just going to post that. The Senate has been off the rails for decades.
Read the constitution
Will everyone who wants Trump to succeed this term please contact your Senators and tell them to vote for Rick Scott on Wednesday!
That old swindler McConnell is trying to torpedo Trump by getting one of his anti-Trump RINOs elected majority leader.
Rick Scott is Trump’s man! Even Rand Paul supports him.
LFG 🇺🇸 MAGA/MAHA

I feel hopeful too and feel the American dream is back but I also voted for DJT. Glad the left is hopeful too but I have some liberal friends that are freaking out. They are so fearful of project 2025 and claim it s Trump's agenda because of what Matt Walsh and others posted. They cannot see it is a joke and they are being trolled.
My lib friends put the black circle for their FB profile pic. I'm just waiting for them to
post the "screaming in my car" video. ROFL!
Wow. I think they should choose to be hopeful. They have lost their joy. Lol
Right? Like they never had any. I don't know any group of people so lacking a sense of humor. Undertakers smile more.
and now they think there was cheating in the election. ha ha
Same friends who posted the flag of Ukraine?
yes
Even my former-navy son was telling me about the Walsh tweet and how unnerving that was to him.
I shared the tweet with my friend also and he still couldn't see that it was a joke. It had a link to his website with the Am I racist video and still he spoke about all the worry of losing health care and doom and gloom.
Matt Walsh says "LOL" and people still don't see that he's trolling them. He then said to go to project2025.com to see all the details of the plan he supports. It's a website for his "Am I Racist?" film. People are so gullible it's scary.
I agree!
