Election updates; Stacey Abrams concedes, sort of; Biden's loan forgiveness program struck down; teenaged de-transitioner sues docs; WSJ tells how to beat high mortgage rates; and much more.
Stacey Abrams....sigh. Every time I think she's sunk to the lowest level in the scum pond, she sinks lower. Quoting the BIBLE to console herself, all the while suggesting women murder their unborn children to combat inflation.
So could you all pray for us in Michigan? 🙏 We are going to need it. “Pure Michigan” is descending into “Pure Hell Michigan”. Even in our district, 70.84% voted for Rashida Tlaib?! Makes no sense. 😞
In spite of all of the gloom surrounding us over the last several years, I seem to find that Jeff always, maybe on purpose, maybe unknowingly, throws something in on a daily basis that always brings a smile to my life and maybe to others - today it was "threw them a celery stick." I'm still laughing - thanks Jeff!
Inflammation is far more likely a function of excessive intake of empty carbohydrate and industrial nut and seed oils in the diet (a historical novelty).
I'll maintain nutrition science was COVID science before COVID even existed.
DeSantis has governed with common sense these past 4 years. He's the future. Trump (for whom I voted twice) has to be put in the rear view mirror. He was good while he lasted, but the future is with common-sensical, non-narcissists like DeSantis. Trump doesn't bring the Independents like DeSantis can, and if you don't want to see Michigan's Gretchen Whitmer or Gavin Newsom sworn in to the White House in January 2025, we better put Trump in the rear-view mirror now.
I think that the media did a great job in brainwashing people that the government only has your best interest at heart therefore you need to mask up socially distance and let the lack of oxygen kill your brain cells so you wont think for yourself. Like you I know many intelligent conservatives, who prior to the plandemic, were outgoing and individual thinkers. If more people turned off all sorts of news propoganda and breathed freah air their brains would come out of the fog. I can only pray for that.
The pandemic most definitely change many people but it also revealed, at least to me anyways, who they really are. Comparable to a veil being lifted. I feel very fortunate (and very grateful!) that my entire family, both immediate and extended, stayed grounded and didn't board the crazy train. But... a friend of mine, for 25+ yrs, completely shunned me when I told her that I believed covid was being used as a political tool and that many people didn't have to die if early, effective treatment had been made available. She stomped off in a fit of rage and hasn't spoken to me since. This was over a year ago.

The blue-leaning righties tend to follow a trend line in my real-world experience - highly educated and wanting desperately to believe in the intelligentsia. I consider myself highly educated with a post-graduate degree, but I've also had some life experience that makes me question the mainstream medical community. They've mostly lost my trust. Have watched this for 15+ years, so the Covid trajectory was not a surprise to me, sadly. I think we have to have grace for people who have cognitive dissonance on this stuff. When you invest a great deal of time and money into your education and professional career, it's mentally tough to go against that world. Plus, Jeff, you're in Alachua (specifically Gainesville) which is the epicenter in Florida at least. So I'm not surprised about your friend.
As someone who follows a plant based diet, Beyond Burgers or the impossible burgers are not an example of a healthy plant based meal. They are awful for you; full of oils and chemicals. It’s a marketing scheme. And to clarify, I am a conservative( these diets sometime come with a stereotype). Pam Popper who Jeff has mentioned in prior blogs, has promoted and researched food in relation to health for years. She’s one of our main reasons why my husband and I did not take the jab. My main point is not to promote a diet but to point out how awful that substitute meat is for your health.
"Even though Arizona’s crack squad of highly-motivated vote counters are counting votes slower than a dyslexic second grader .. "
Are we sure they're counting? After all, it takes much more time to create and alter ballots than to simply count them
Regarding heart issues and COVID, ask yourself 1) what is the toxic part of SARS-CoV-2 and 2) what creates the most of it (by orders of magnitude), a SARS infection or a COVID spike-manufacturing jab?
Don't forget that bird viruses don't have to be engineered to infect humans to be used as weapons of war. Just look at the number of poultry that had to be slaughtered this year due to infection. Food supply reduction is a potent weapon.
Jeff, you are to Substack and anything else for that matter, what DeSantis is to being a governor. You are a working pit bull that digs out the relevant news around the world and accurately analyzes it beautifully. You also make the important links to the Bible to remind us Who is sovereign over all things. We need to constantly be reminded that God is in control and like it or not everyone will kneel before Him one day and acknowledge Him as Lord and then face true judgement. Thank you for your hard work and also the chuckles you provide to balance out the dark realities we are facing. May God richly bless you and yours!
I feel for the poster w/ the "conservative" relatives in Houston. I've heard similar - people who claim to be conservative, but voted for Beto because Abbott is "too conservative". Ugh. Abbott's a follower of money and polls. If other states hadn't started relaxing their pandemic measures, Abbott definitely wouldn't have - he ignored the TX constitution with his mandates and gave free reign to some of the worst county leaders to shut down their counties and terrorize their citizens. Yeah, he eventually started relaxing that nonsense after FL showed the way, but he shut down businesses and took away freedoms. He has worked behind the scenes to keep the "T" movement going and mutilating our kids by slow-walking that sort of legislation. His constant pandering to the left-leaning big tech companies may attract job, but at the cost of importing people who don't share TX values.
I voted against Abbott in the primary, but for him in the general. While I don't like a lot of his actions over the last couple of years, O'Rourke would be _far_ worse.

I have a few relatives who have gone blue since covid-and more importantly Roe. No respect for them anymore.

I call bullshit. "Mr. Dong" is my stage name.

Way to go Judicial Watch! Thank you for your work. It really is coming all together, isn't it?
Is anyone else concerned about the lame duck session? I am: https://leemuller.substack.com/p/lame-duck-session-is-anything-but
Any other proposed legislation to be on the watch for?
