I think you’re onto something with your Ukrainian flag-waver idea, Jeff. How about if you express support for a policy that will require taxpayer funding, you are required to vote with your wallet? Those of us who abstain will be exempt from taxation on that particular item.

Can you imagine how different our foreign policy (and domestic, too, for that matter) would look if people had to pay the consequences for their virtue-signaling?

Reading today’s article, we truly do live in a clown world. You make me laugh, gasp, and shake my head at all the craziness. Somehow, Jeff Childers, you make it all bearable!

It’s odd they aren’t just sending Ukraine windmills and solar panels.

Never want to see anyone go through that sort of pain/suffering from blood clots, but I think they're more wide-spread than even we might suspect. (I'd say "wider than reported", but ...) My dad's been suffering from clotting in his legs - started after he jumped in line to get his shots. Sadly, they're still on the "how soon can I get my next booster" path, despite knowing that any effectiveness wanes and I think trying to be willfully ignorant of people experiencing adverse reactions. :(

I really wish more doctors and physicians would be free to speak up about what they're seeing and actually speculate about true causes instead of "stress over anti-vaxx" or "climate change" or "shoveling snow". (The latter semi-valid if you go from sedentary to lifting 6' of "light and fluffy", but still....)

Doc: Is being in the path of an F5 tornado safe?

Roker: Absolutely safe.

That Siberian virus would be one Mammoth of a story.

Typical morning in our homeschool...

Me to 17 y/o son this morning: “what are you reading?”

Son: Jeff Childers of course!

Raising critical thinkers even in Illinois!

I recommend taking a look at Richard Feynman’s, ‘The Meaning of it All”. So many years ago I read it and was confused, how can Science not really be Science? He tries so hard to detail the cockroaches at the highest levels who have thrown away the scientific method. Here are some glaring lines from that book:

“scientists are working now in secret laboratories to develop the diseases that

they were so careful to control.”

“with the same knowledge of bacteria, we have hidden laboratories in which men are working as hard as they can to develop bacteria for which no one else will be able to find a cure.”

Remember that Feynman was key to pointing the finger at NASA during the Challenger disaster. The Meaning of it All was based on a lecture he gave 30+ years ago…. these unscientific endeavors have been going on since at least that time. Thanks to people like Jeff, more people are awake to it and Feynman’s lecture makes a lot more sense now than it ever did!!

Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe; for our God is a consuming fire.

— Hebrews 12:1-2, 28-29 NASB1995

What the Japanese guy said. Roker should call Pierre Kory stat. How fast can Elon get the dirt on the Biden's out, obviating Zelensky's power? And finally, I'm waiting patiently for people who believed the vaccine propaganda to say "Whaaat?"

That Netflix series Ancient Apocalypse is utterly fascinating. Graham doesn’t believe there were actual giants—just that ancients in most every culture passed on a flood story that also told about giants that could have meant that some survived the sudden flood and helped civilization get back on its feet. To the remainders on earth these “giants” could have meant status or such—or even sturdy healthy people. Gods. Also his compelling evidence threatens archeologists, geologists, anthropologists and all manner of sciences who depend on tenure, publishing, grants, status —everything that the current “narrative” supplies. They turn their backs on new and even blatant evidence in front of their faces. Sound familiar? Joe Rogan has a fascinating long interview with Graham Hancock.

Oh, yeah, what could go wrong with reactivating a 48,500 year old virus? Kind of telling they have already named it the pandoravirus.

Terrible nightmare early this morning. The USA was invaded from all directions and the military had no fuel or weapons to defend the land, and power companies did not have equipment to restore and keep our electrical grid working, because, Ukraine. I awoke with intention to return to the dream and change the script but part two of my nightmare saw all vaccinated folks succumbing to disease and death because their immune systems could not respond to a new virus thawed out by Bond villain scientists and I frantically adopted the goal of recording these calamities in a manner that would allow surviving generations to prepare for and avoid a repeat of this horror show only to find myself in the future listening to a character like Graham Hancock lecture us about how we are a species with amnesia ignoring ancient apocalypses.

Now I’m gonna spit ball. Don’t hate me or cancel me. If we are going to keep bankrupting our country sending more money to Ukraine to be laundered back to our politicians and celebrities bank accounts….our taxes are going up roughly 50% correct? I mean it’s only a short matter of time before this price tag gets shoved down our everloving throats and throws us all into financial ruin - at least those of us America loving people who work hard and pay our taxes anyway….. so since we are screwed into oblivion anyway - can I cancel my student loan debt so I don’t have at least that bill hanging over my head while I give half of my wages to a corrupt criminal government? Just wondering. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I wonder if NPR can figure out a way to monetize the game my kids and I play. We get in the car and before we turn on the radio we all guess how long it will take before we hear racism, lgbtq, or misogyny. It’s never, NEVER, more than 60 seconds. Maybe they can develop a gambling game or something? Sell a board game to that effect…?

So good, Jeff! Thank you.

1. Ancient apocalypse: More. Of. This!
