Regarding all social media: I read this somewhere , but I don't remember where or who to give credit to but here it is: "So you 're not mad at those who lied to you for years, but you're mad at me for proving they lied to you."
So ridiculous. I am the same person I have always been, they are the ones who are forever altered. My sister-in-law said she didn't want to be around "the unvaccinated" 2 years ago and practically hocked a big loogie on the floor after she spewed that drivel. As I sat there in all my unaltered glory right there in her living room, putting her at so much risk because I was the same as I have always been. So gross. *insert evil laugh here*
Anything to divide us. As I have said, from when I first saw the masks. I knew it was going to be a dividing, I just had no clue for what. Holy smokes. It sure brought out everyone's true colors.
True colors for sure. Yellow for being too cowardly to face the fact that their government would lie to them. Once you go down that road, a whole scary world confronts you.
I doubt it would do much good--except give SadieJay the perverse pleasure of knowing the "worm" has turned in the world! TRUTH WILL OUT--thank you, Lord Jesus!!
Wonder what happened with that new mother to be, if she was vaxxed, more than likely her baby died, especially if the baby wasn't born when the mother got the vax, that is what has been happening; the vax is also to increase infertility in those who received it, thanks to Gates.
An email I just received from a national medical organization yesterday just encouraged us to encourage everyone to get up to date covid vaccines… spewing CDC talking points. One of the talking points was that unvaccinated healthy children under 2 were at very high risk of being hospitalized in the ICU (it was an insane number and probably a perversion of the “with” vs “bc of” covid). I’ll never forget the summer of 2021, Israeli data already was showing majority hospitalized patients were vaccinated.
How’s your SIL’s health now? One person who disinvited me to a Christmas party for being unjabbed is now very sick with major immune system problems. Doctors are baffled. Oh well...
She is fine...but her daughter, who I imagine she made get jabbed to be in her presence is now breastless because she had a very aggressive breast cancer. I am not even sure they speak anymore.
I am sure they try to pass it off as something else instead of results of the jab, just like the reports that he puts in his news above, how they keep denying the elephant in the room.
We have had the same experience but honestly seeing as how these folks are injured, heart issues, aneurysms, etc.. just frail almost, I can’t be angry only very very sad. We were all altered in very sinister deceptive ways whether we vaxed or did not.
Found out last week that a very dear work friend is quite close to being diagnosed with multiple myeloma. He had 2 shots in mid-2021. He told me he didn't know we could refuse to take them - wish he had spoken up sooner. If it weren't for Coffee & Covid, I wouldn't have known either.
Amen!!! I'm the same Susie I have been since I was a Child. I don't change, I'm open minded and willing to learn anything. So I'm not in the Matrix!! They are!!!
expound, don't simply allege; which cult proclaims freedom while fettering and gagging its members--and demands all opposition be silenced and has the power to mostly enforce it? To be one who opposes this is not being in a cult. Competing Leftist Death Cults of Bolshevism and Nazism in Germany and (Italy, Spain, etc) 1920s-30s, funded and fueled by squabbling Industrialists and Bankers may be what you're alluding to. Freedom-loving, decent, traditionalist, theistic peoples were caught in between and many "moderates" chose to join the Nazi Cult due to carrot and sticks being used. Best to reject ALL anti-human, anti-theistic death cult variants offered to a society and resist them as forcefully as possible.

one time, when I was trying to toll my income tax to ten years so it would be dropped by statute of limitations I kept being called by the IRS saying they will garnish my wages and I told them "oh no ma'am I will be fired if you do that and then you won't get anything" and the IRS agent says to me "well It's against the law for them to fire you for wage garnishment" and then I said "oh no ma'am it wont' be for wage garnishment it will be for financial irresponsibility that I will get fired and then you won't get anything" to which the IRS official said this: "Oh WELL, THAT'S COMPLETELY DIFFERENT". In 2015, 10 years later, my IRS past due taxes were cancelled and the lien against my home erased. I filed on time and admitted that I owed it but they can't make you pay. Just thought I would inform people since you will never EVER hear this anywhere else in the world.
Yes, this is actually 100% the truth. It happened to me and I still can't believe it. But the Lord has not given me a path strewn with roses my friend. I've been struck by lightning, bankrupted, thrown in jail for trying to go back to work, had my signature forged by an ex-mother in law and sent the bill for 35,000. Recently God sent me a message via a dying black cat. It's been a wild ride. Looking forward to what is next! CHEERS JEFF AND C&C CROWD.
Priceless. I have said from the 1800's that a lie travels halfway around the world before the truth can even get it's pants on. You can quote me on that.
It was a very sarcastic joke. I know who said it and I know when he said it. I certainly didn't say it in the 1800's. And...the majority of readers on here are above average and I have every confidence that they know good and well who quoted the above and you proved me correct.
Likely, this has been happening throughout her educational experiences. She must be so shocked that she’s being called out on it. I think many of these lofty degree holders don’t fully understand what plagiarism is. And Joe Biden set such a good example, and what price did he ever pay? He is incapable of shame.
Wow that's some really old news ya got there...So old I don't even remember who that person is anymore...thanks for showing that so-called conservatives cheat too (even though I am fairly certain we all know that PEOPLE CHEAT--regardless of political persuasion.) I was once told my freshman year in high school (catholic school--don't judge) by my PE teacher that it had been his experience that catholics *steal* so lock your lockers. GASP! The shock! (Not). I locked my locker, not being a dummy who thought all catholics were pure as the driven snow (having grown up with many).
haha.... you and me got brought up right. Verify THEN Trust is the way I was brought up. My dear John Birch society member Grandmother taught me: Once they are caught LYING....... never will they be trustworthy again. The federal government in all it's glory is a complete terrible LIE. The IRS is unconstitutional and so is the D.E.A. and all the other agencies just spoke into being. Federal government needs cut by at least 80%
I'm surprised it's still on youtube. Aaron Russo is the famous producer and businessman who then produced this documentary. The 13th amendment was passed in 1913 to make the income tax legal. But it wasn't passed with the full house because it was done Christmas eve.
The 16th Amendment is the one in question. It states, "The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."
Then there's the language in Article 1, Section 9 of the Constitution which states, "No capitation, or other direct, Tax shall be laid, unless in Proportion to the Census or Enumeration herein before directed to be taken."
A capitation tax is a poll tax, "...an imposition which is yearly laid on each person according to his estate and ability." (Bouvier's Law Dictionary, 6th Edition)
Read: Article 1, Section 9 says no individual (capitation) tax *unless* it's the same amount for every individual (in Proportion...). 16A says Congress can tax incomes, i.e., implied is: impose a capitation tax. It's critical to understand that no provision of Article 1, Section 9 was ever repealed. So both of these laws stand.
If you're scratching your head, seeing as the two provisions on the surface contradict one another, the TRUTH is, that they can both indeed stand.
16A has been adjudicated to assert that the "taxes on incomes" is an excise tax. The language in the Amendment disguises the genuine limitation.
What's an excise tax?
I have to cut this short saying that it's impossible for a comment post to do justice to the illegitimacy of what Americans believe to be the income tax.
It's heavy reading, 200+ pages, all of dense, revealing, engendering cognitive dissonance and anger if not fury once you understand what's been perpetrated, but trust me, it's worth the effort. The book title is, Cracking the Code: The Fascinating Truth About Taxation in America by Peter Eric Hendrickson.
*edit: Fellow C&C reader @Gabriella took the time to go there and report the news that the book in its entirety is now available to read online at no cost. The above link takes you to a page updated by the author in August 2023 (as of this writing). From there you can read the book on the website. The website is a trove of information but better understood in the context of having the book under your belt. Some people don't pay income taxes. All perfectly legal. Some gyrations and persistence required, unofficial help available at the website, but so worth it. SO worth it.
I think the reference is to the confiscatory policies the agency has been permitted to employ rather than the existence of a revenue collection agency.
We Catholics know we are sinners in need of a savior. And we are individuals responsible for our own sins. Are Protestants as a group pure as the driven snow?

I never attended parochial school, but I suspect your Catholic education (secular part) was light years better than what the equivalent public skool system offered.
I went to both private and public. It really depends on the teacher and I had some bad and good ones in both. Parents that put their kids in private schools care about education so their kids usually do too.
I also taught in both private and public schools. When the parents care and support their children they do well, but when they do not care the children do poorly.
It is that simple until the academy in question runs afoul of government mandates. Then the private school usually has the control advantage denied the public school. Follow the money to trace the controls.
They all run afoul. The private school my child went to followed the CDC... It is worse in public though. Live for God and survive until He calls us home.
I went to catholic school in first and second grade and was at least a FULL YEAR ahead of my peers in my new public school in 3rd. My brother who went thru 4th was 2 years ahead. I literally spent 3rd grade lalala-ing around bored off my ass and making a pain of myself by talking to my new classmates all the time. I went public thru 8th then back to catholic for high school bc my grandma wanted us to go to her alma mater and "made a donation" to the school (which ended up not really covering the whole cost what with increases and they never let me hear the end of it my senior year when I was a less than ideal student--ahem--) . I didn't find myself behind in high school mostly because I was not an average student and had learned how to "learn" (mostly by reading everything not tied down). My brother is a genius. Neither one of us struggled but then we had been taught the fear of God by Sister Anna Mary, God bless her.
When I was in Catholic school another student (8th grade) introduced me to smoking weed. Catholic school kids were some of the biggest trouble makers, and so sneaky. Honestly the best behaved and seemingly good ones were the ones from Hispanic homes. Like the girl who beat me for highest average overall when we graduated. 😡 😁
That's been my experience as well. HAHAHA. Trouble, the lot of us. But in general (at least my generation) well grounded and brutally loyal, willing to forgive and always ready to have a good time.
So should anyone out of government. In fact, those who advocate skepticism should be viewed with skepticism, which is the equivalent of saying to accept anything anyone tells you as the unvarnished truth.
Obviously the above is meant in jest, but only partially so. There are valid issues here, such as to what is intellectually valid inquiry/debate/theory/etc.
In omnibus dubitandum = Everything should be questioned.
And you would believe Politico?? I believe that was debunked. All a ploy to sink her nomination into a Trump administration position. She's still out there and may very likely have a position in the upcoming Trump Administration.
Spelling is a construct of the white patriarchy, and must therefore be ignored. Judging by recent adventures at the checkout counter, the same wokie criterion also applies to basic math.
Obviously you jest, but both those actually *are* arguments put forth explicitly by the Marxist academic radicals — that both spelling, and mathematics (as taught currently), are "oppressive" because they do not account for "other ways of knowing".
There is an entire rabbit hole of loony far left academics arguing that 2+2 = 5, because [insert "other ways of knowing" ...aka b*llsh*t I just made up right now, because I can't win this in argument based on merit].
On one level it's riotously funny. But it becomes a whole lot less funny when they're indoctrinating millions of kids with this stuff, annually. We are heading for a future where bridges regularly collapse, because: Equity.
This is just disgusting. If it harms them then they are intellectually incapable. If it doesn’t harm them, then it is the left’s denigration and belief that they need these policies to prop them up.
It also harms students from PRC. No one owns anything in China so everything is everybody's. They come here to a university and do not get it. Being disciplined for plagiarism is a 'foreign' concept.
When I taught writing at a college--before I left bc mandates--many of the students (majority hispanic) had never been taught anything substantive about paraphrasing. Many had never read a whole book in the precious two years. Even after weeks of lessons and practicing, I was stunned at the amount of intentional plagiarism and cheating I encountered, and the amount of times I had to report kids.
What I found out though, was that the University (CA State one) did nothing. The kids got a talking-to. The only other 'punishment' was that I could give them a zero on the assignment (which is 59 points less than an F!). Many teachers got demoralized by this and did NOT report; others were fully woke-indoctrinated and went with the "but they never even had the training, poor things" route. Even though we were all required to give them the training. The "And how bad is plagiarism, really? Look at what the internet has done, you can't fight is anymore.... Don't we have other, more important battles to fight?"
I would later see kids I had confronted and reported on the Honor Roll and think, hmmmm.
Very much doubt she's alone here, someone's going to have a field day checking diversity hire theses through modern plagiarism-checking tools. These simple tools didn't exist back when the theses were written and the authors probably thought they'd never get caught.
People selected for reasons other than their intelligence and accomplishments by definition are not impressive. They don't get through a top-tier university without cheating or working extremely hard. I doubt it's the latter in most cases.
You overlook at least one other possibility: What about the case where the student herself didn't cheat (or even work, perhaps) but the university essentially did the cheating for her, essentially giving her a participation trophy for just showing up?
Smug phonies pretty much sums up about 80% of the Harvard orbit. For the most part, they are a bunch of welfare recipients - either from their families' money buying their way in or their skin color gaining them entrance. It's been that way for generations now, so it comes as no surprise this clown is just another phony put into her role due to her skin color. Glad to see Rufo expose it. Tear the whole thing down, IMO. All of the Ivy league schools need to go or at least be recognized for the frauds they are. And public schools need to be reformed to serve the needs, interests, and political viewpoints of the taxpayers in their respective states.
University of PA had the audacity to contact me as a former varsity squash player for a donation. Seriously??? After telling them what I think of men in women's sports, I had them remove me from all lists. The world has truly gone mad.
I somehow sense the falling of the Ivies was done on purpose. We identify as Americans with our once-great universities, and with many other things like Bud Light or Target. The Deep State targets these things for purposeful destruction so the identity of America itself falters. They don’t want us to have a country to identify with. It doesn’t serve their plans for the Great Reset.
I see it the opposite. The Ivies were the mechanism by which LGBTQWTH+!-? and things like DEI were pushed into western society. From the "elite" universities into the F500 and legal/consulting/prof svcs/healthcare arenas where they could be foisted on everyone by their employer, their consultant, or the doctor. In a direct way, the Ivies caused the Bud Light and Target disasters.
IMO, never losing control is the main goal of the social planners / resetters. They really do not care one bit if it's socialism or fascism or highly regulated capitalism that is espoused, so long as they maintain control. They are not particularly ideological, except that they think the average person is a rube who clings to guns and Bibles (as their false demigod once let slip). That means in their minds, they need to control people b/c people are too stupid to manage themselves.
So, now that they see their control slipping due to the overreach of leftist policies - and they haven't been able to arm wrestle it back with all their shaming, censorship, and lawfare efforts - they're reversing course to try to retain control. IMO, it will work, sadly, just as it always has b/c people are tribal.
If you are going to plagiarize someone Dr.Swain is a brilliant source. A highly intelligent classy lady, unlike any of the three losers that testified before congress.
Christopher Rufo works for the neo-con Manhattan Institute, founded by former CIA director William Casey and funded by Big Pharma, Big Food, Big Chem, Big Oil, etc.
It's a bastion of the deep state establishment.
His attack is likely motivated by an easy win for his career -- his post appears to be focused on arguing against critical race theory -- and Manhattan Institute's alliances with Israel, as the purported plagiarism Rufo's posted on his twitter feed does not appear to be plagiarism -- she cites her sources very clearly.
But then Manhattan Institute writers have been publicly accused of junk scholarship. So pot calling the kettle black.
This is just dirty politics. We'll see how it plays out.
True in some cases, but in this one it's the pro-Israel lobby through the Manhattan Institute trying to bully every major institution in the US to get behind Israel despite world condemnation of Israel's genocide.
It's nothing more than a suppression of free thinking and free speech in the US, carried out by Congress, which held the hearings and is completely bought and paid for by the pro-Israel lobby, and deep state tools like the Manhattan Institute.
As an American I don't want people telling me who I can support and who I can't and what I can say and what I can't.
The three academic institutions under attack -- Harvard, MIT, and Penn -- were making that point in the hearings. That's why more than 600 Harvard academics have signed a petition supporting Gay.
So these three women presidents are supporting free speech in the US.
I would also point out that Jeff's comments on their looks and attractiveness is the oldest trick in the book, attacking someone's person to avoid dealing with the real issues. Not to mention being a throwback to the 1950s.
The question is, even though he is a lawyer and supposed to uphold the Constitution, is Jeff against free speech?
I am completely with you on Ukraine, the vaccines, and twitter censorship.
I've read the C-Span transcript of the hearings and here is exactly what she said: "SPEECH IS PROTECTED AND THAT EXTENDS TO SPEECH WE FIND OBJECTIONABLE AND OFFENSIVE AND EVEN OUTRAGEOUS. IT'S WHEN SPEECH CROSSES AND TO CONDUCT ARE KNOWN TO AROUND THE BULLYING, HARASSMENT, INTIMIDATION THAT IT BECOMES ACTIONABLE." (Cut and pasted from the transcript with mistakes)
That is exactly in line with Constitutional protection of free speech and the law.
The three presidents are not supporting anti-semitism but rather free speech, and they are exactly right that telling students what they can and can't say is in direct violation of their civil rights.
This is to our direct benefit, because if we let Congress suppress our right to free speech in this situation, then we could be complicit in losing it for good. As it is our government seems to be in a war against its own citizens and this would be yet another step in stripping us our rights. Next step 15-minute cities and digital currency!
She was just following in the foot steps of the "great" Martin Luther King, Jr. She's probably a communist like him too. He was a philanderer and a phony, and "conservatives" need to drop the idol worship they display for him.
So no one in Harvard's employment office checked this woman's thesis for authenticity... what a bunch of morons. It's way past time to elevate community colleges and trades.
Absolutely no way they were going to check (and I would go further and say they probably already knew but she is just too good a diversity character to let go).
The only successful Sci-Fi (now SyFy, because there is no science at all on that channel) movie they ever made was Sharknado, which was a ridiculous but absolutely hysterical story of a man with a chainsaw fighting sharks that fell out of tornadoes. The sharks did uncool things like terrorize a busload of children. He was having none of it. I seem to see an off the wall paralell here, certainly I'm betting there were "sharks" and they were most definitely terrorizing everyone, including children I'm sure, in Argentina. I like their new president and we need someone that off the rails here. The libs would go insane. (P.S. I have no beef with actual sharks that swim in the ocean. They are less dangerous than leftist politicians.)
Alex Jones is out there but I admire his refusal to keep his mouth shut.
Ah, the classic Sharknado, produced by Asylum Films. They went on to make many more ‘classics,’ including a movie I worked on in NC: “American Battleship.” It’s okay if you missed this gem, although the actor Carl Weathers, from ‘Rocky’ was a joy to work with … 😊
No no. It is a horrendous movie … low budget to the max. Even my son, an adolescent at the time said, “Mom! I can’t even watch this movie to the end!”
You provided a walk down memory lane with your mention of Asylum Films. I still chuckle at the title of one of their films: “Abraham Lincoln vs Zombies!”
Perhaps they were ahead of their time: it certainly fits our current government.
I'd really like Milei to be what he says for once. But we're all chastened by the many mirage's of brave freedom-supporting leaders so I'll withhold my endorsement pending future action.
Two data points about him make me leery, on top of his WEF legacy..
- He met with Bill Clinton and Clinton world in NY when he visited last week.
- Ukraine's tyrant and Deep State puppet Zelensky attended his installation ceremony.
The jury is still out. But possesses that adverse information about the defendant. As more evidence is presented this juror is diligently taking it all in.
PG Wodehouse once had Jeeves tell Bertie Wooster that he had attended a communist meeting because "it is useful to know what tune the devil is whistling". I wonder if this is why Milei went to the WEF.
I do consider that as a possibility for some of those who've indulged the WEF universe. From personal experience I've done intellectual reconnaissance of those I've considered malefactors since I was a preteen. I'd listen to Radio Moscow at night on my AM radio, the broadcasts coming from Havana were easy to tune in at my home in Miami. I was a regular listener. Not because I was an aspiring Marxist. But because I wanted to know why I had enemies, what they thought and had to say about my home. It was that experience where I learned about propaganda, how propagandists take a small truth and create a large fiction out of it. I was able to see in real time the world my eyes observed and listen to a false interpretation of it and note the disparities, where the truth was twisted. I also began to tune in to TASS evening news carried by my local PBS station following the national network news broadcasts. And I'd read Pravda newspapers in my local library when we went there for family night. Same reason. To know what tune the devil was whistling.
I fell back into the practice of tuning into the propaganda of our adversaries in early 2020. I'd read Global Times and China Daily, both official mouthpieces of the CCP, for information on the pandemic, the global response, how they were reacting the US response. And it turns out that what they were writing about it was more accurate than what our own government and media was telling us. Not only did it make more logical sense at the time, but in hindsight it was largely the truth of it. Like travel bans not working to control respiratory viral outbreaks.
Reconnaissance of them saying that travel bans politicize infectious disease, nation's blaming other nations for something they have no control of leads to nation's leaders blaming their people for something they have no control of - which was lifted straight from the WHO's own pre-2020 pandemic planning guides. With the understanding that such blame-shifting would lead to a loss of the liberties and freedoms that western liberal democracies valued. But that if that's they way the US and west wanted to approach the pandemic the world would get to see the differences between the competing systems of governance. And that while western liberal democracies are more innovative and creative in normal times than collectivist authoritarian ones, that in times of crisis the people will prefer the protective strong hand of government to lead them through it. And while they believed their system was better suited for a health emergency that western systems would be well-advised to stick with their system of governance until the crisis passed. Unnecessarily disturbing that which works for a society in an emergency leads to division and strife that distracts from efforts to protect the population from greater harms. If the US and west wanted to adopt China's governing system they should wait until the crisis had passed. Basically, "dance with the one who brung ya," advice.
And they said that antivirals along the lines of Ivermectin and HCQ were proving to be very effective in early treatment.
Sometimes an adversary will tell you uncomfortable truths that your own government won't. Especially when your own government has become propagandists who consider their own citizens an enemy that needs to be propagandized. But unless you're willing to step outside your paradigm, the cage your mind has been living in you'll never hear information that you'd be better off hearing.
The key is discernment. Getting as much information from all sources you can, including from those who don't think like you and your circle and discerning what is useful and what isn't is how we make the best decisions we can. God gave each of us that wonderful gift, that most important gift to navigating a world full of fallen men spreading deception for their own agendas. Perhaps Senor Milei is doing just that. The evidence will be in his actions, not just his words we receive well.
And we'll see how he decides to lead the people of Argentina who voted for what he represented. If his actions fit his words. And if they don't then how will the people of Argentina respond? We and they can only hope he acts in accordance with his words.
I just saw this clip of Zelenskyy in Argentina. First cornering Hungary's PM Orban (a pragmatic leader not rushing in lockstep with Ukraine's foolish war). Then greeting, hugging Milei. The point of contention.
There was additional context towards the end of the video after the hug. Milei presented Zelenskyy with a Menorah in recognition of Hanukkah this week. Zelenskyy is purportedly Jewish. Not devout, but Jewish. We know that Jews are targeted for hate crimes, are beaten, killed by Ukrainian Nazi's, a large part of Ukraine's population. The celebrated and glorified Azov battalion full Nazi. Who Zelenskyy speaks glowingly of, Nazi's and Jews, not thought of as friends.
With that background and suspicions that Zelenskyy isn't all that Jewish after all, supports Nazi's himself, for him to receive a Menorah is a brilliant bit of trolling by Milei. Forcing Zelenskyy to uncomfortably accept a very symbolic gift, large enough for the cameras to capture in the images of them together going back to Ukraine. And the message that sends back to Ukrainian Nazi's supporting Zelenskyy. Brilliant trolling! Milei set clownish tyrant puppet up for that money shot! Most Western audiences would miss that. Ukrainians won't. Bravo!
I know, right? I saw that Tucker interview, I've seen a lot about him that I'm glad he's saying. But those are two data points worth filing, yellow caution flags. Which is ok. Honestly we should view all new players with the same caution. We can, as Reagan said, "Trust but verify." Wise counsel.
I have never listened to Alex Jones and just wrote him off as being nuts but that interview with Tucker opened my eyes a little bit more. I had no idea he predicted 9/11.
Coalorado is Banning/shutting down and sealing off our Coal mines...unless just exporting cleaner coal to China? I suppose the Dem Donors might make serious $$$ off that in a few years
I absolutely loved that Fareed segment. Thank you - you made my day!
When I was still on facebook, I was "friended" with my former best friend from Junior High. She is now a college-level professor of "English Rhetoric." Early in 2020, even before the lockdowns, she started down the Covidiot pathway. I made a comment on one of her posts about germaphobes (wide-eyed masked wonders) showing up at the grocery stores. My former "friend" immediately broadcasted to her 100's of followers that she had "MUTED" this "asshat."
To say she had turned into someone who only accepted her own point of view would be a massive understatement.
I sympathize with you guys. I come from a long-line of right-wing wackos, married a fellow conservative nutjob, work in a results-oriented hard engineering environment, attend a biblical born-again church, have my kids in a biblical school, and don't have social media accounts. I *never* experience these people aside from a few isolated incidents. If it weren't from hearing other people's stories I wouldn't know they existed.
Count my blessings I guess. If I had to deal with this on a regular basis I'd pull my hair out.
I worked at the University of Florida for some years and learned to keep my mouth shut in conversation with almost everybody there, from students to staff. The president of school was an appeaser of the Left. Ben Sasse is now president and the liberal Marxist faculty and student body is squirming, whining about conservative changes.
Most of us (I believe) see these blighted souls as our mission field. We toil on with forbearance and generosity (albeit with frequent confrontations)sustained by God’s grace and the confidence that there are a number of God’s elect hidden within mind-locked liberal demography who have the potential to experience the liberating epiphany promised in the gospel message....at least that is what keeps me moving toward the front lines of the culture war. The root issue is really one’s response to Christ’s claim that He is Lord rather than one’s stated position on the political spectrum.
My biggest and best argument I have against their lunacy is I am still alive and well and healthy. I blow up their provaxx arguments. I am the elephant 🐘 in the room. Corn pop lied.
We have to be thankful though everyone!!! We aren't the dumb ones! We are the ones with open eyes and ears. We have a big job coming when this all bursts!! Which I am hearing no credit cards will work by the end of this week. That the de-dollarazation is starting. Have cash and gas and food people!! Who knows what will happen. Stock market is on the verge of Crashing. Be ready. God Bless us all as we enter into a contentious time.
I was still on Facebook back when covid reared its false and ugly head. (I used Facebook for family photos and work-related jobs) I was, silly me, shocked by the illogical and nasty replies posted when I dared to ridicule and belittle covid policies.
I had to “unfollow “ a whole bunch of people so I didn’t see their posts. That way I could still see my gardening groups, etc $ people who weren’t virtue signaling the day long. I am thankful I withstood all that and never wavered from my decision- My question is why supposed educated people were so ignorant of information I could easily find that made me question?
Yeah, it STARTED with dogmatic ideology and then quadrupled down. *No good intentions were harmed in the intentional ruination of higher-learning establishments.
"It all depends on what the meaning of 'good' is," right? Paraphrasing Bill Clinton. If one's highest good is self-empowerment and -enrichment, then the intentions were 'good.'
It’s a statement to make the sheep feel better about having gone off the cliff following the wrong shepherds. It’s ok to wake up now that you are about to hit the ground.
Mileu, Musk, Trump and even the resignation of the U Penn president are examples of the principle - “power of zero and one”. As long as there are NO systems or institutions providing meaningful push back against the damning forces, those forces will continue to grow and prosper. As soon as 1 ONE person or institution reverses it’s compliance and stands in defiance to the evil, provides an example of what “right” looks like, others will begin to crumble and soon join onto the path of truth. This is what I pray we are seeing.
Hmm, bears looking into... however, is he going to claim that they are a "developing nation" and therefore now that he's joined the agreement, all the other "rich countries" need to provide them aid, and they won't cut their carbon until they've been receiving aid for 20 years?
Regarding all social media: I read this somewhere , but I don't remember where or who to give credit to but here it is: "So you 're not mad at those who lied to you for years, but you're mad at me for proving they lied to you."
That's consistent with the loonies thinking. You know - like the unvaxxed causing the vaxxed to get covid or putting them at risk. 😉
So ridiculous. I am the same person I have always been, they are the ones who are forever altered. My sister-in-law said she didn't want to be around "the unvaccinated" 2 years ago and practically hocked a big loogie on the floor after she spewed that drivel. As I sat there in all my unaltered glory right there in her living room, putting her at so much risk because I was the same as I have always been. So gross. *insert evil laugh here*
https://vigilantnews.com/post/unvaccinated-scapegoated/?amp=1
Here's a post that explains how the unvaxxed were scapegoated. Send it to your sister in law.
Anything to divide us. As I have said, from when I first saw the masks. I knew it was going to be a dividing, I just had no clue for what. Holy smokes. It sure brought out everyone's true colors.
True colors for sure. Yellow for being too cowardly to face the fact that their government would lie to them. Once you go down that road, a whole scary world confronts you.
I doubt it would do much good--except give SadieJay the perverse pleasure of knowing the "worm" has turned in the world! TRUTH WILL OUT--thank you, Lord Jesus!!

Thanks for the link! I could tell this was happening so it’s interesting they could repeat it.
Wonder what happened with that new mother to be, if she was vaxxed, more than likely her baby died, especially if the baby wasn't born when the mother got the vax, that is what has been happening; the vax is also to increase infertility in those who received it, thanks to Gates.
An email I just received from a national medical organization yesterday just encouraged us to encourage everyone to get up to date covid vaccines… spewing CDC talking points. One of the talking points was that unvaccinated healthy children under 2 were at very high risk of being hospitalized in the ICU (it was an insane number and probably a perversion of the “with” vs “bc of” covid). I’ll never forget the summer of 2021, Israeli data already was showing majority hospitalized patients were vaccinated.
How’s your SIL’s health now? One person who disinvited me to a Christmas party for being unjabbed is now very sick with major immune system problems. Doctors are baffled. Oh well...
She is fine...but her daughter, who I imagine she made get jabbed to be in her presence is now breastless because she had a very aggressive breast cancer. I am not even sure they speak anymore.
O.M.G.
I am sure they try to pass it off as something else instead of results of the jab, just like the reports that he puts in his news above, how they keep denying the elephant in the room.
We have had the same experience but honestly seeing as how these folks are injured, heart issues, aneurysms, etc.. just frail almost, I can’t be angry only very very sad. We were all altered in very sinister deceptive ways whether we vaxed or did not.
Found out last week that a very dear work friend is quite close to being diagnosed with multiple myeloma. He had 2 shots in mid-2021. He told me he didn't know we could refuse to take them - wish he had spoken up sooner. If it weren't for Coffee & Covid, I wouldn't have known either.
Amen!!! I'm the same Susie I have been since I was a Child. I don't change, I'm open minded and willing to learn anything. So I'm not in the Matrix!! They are!!!
Omg 😲
We’ve suffered with this lunacy for years. It has not gone away.
Or the new mantra, the global warming, uh I mean, cooling, uh, I mean change, whatever it is this week, IT gave you Covid!!
Similar to: its easier to fool someone than to convince them they've been fooled. People are just happier in ignorance I guess.

How very comfortable it is inside the Cult cocoon
Which one? There seems to be two cults.
expound, don't simply allege; which cult proclaims freedom while fettering and gagging its members--and demands all opposition be silenced and has the power to mostly enforce it? To be one who opposes this is not being in a cult. Competing Leftist Death Cults of Bolshevism and Nazism in Germany and (Italy, Spain, etc) 1920s-30s, funded and fueled by squabbling Industrialists and Bankers may be what you're alluding to. Freedom-loving, decent, traditionalist, theistic peoples were caught in between and many "moderates" chose to join the Nazi Cult due to carrot and sticks being used. Best to reject ALL anti-human, anti-theistic death cult variants offered to a society and resist them as forcefully as possible.
Clearly!

Killing the messenger is so much easier...
Long called “ shooting the messenger”.
I'm not sure if it originated with Elon Musk, but he recently posted something like this on X.
Well think about the reaction if you tell someone their significant other has been cheating on them. You'll be blamed for bringing the bad news

Excellent point!
Sounds about right...
More poop to hit Harvard.
Christopher Rufo discovered Harvard's president plagiarized her PhD thesis.
Stole stuff from Dr. Carol Swain.
It's not plagiarism. It's "idea redistribution": rightfully taking from the intellectually wealthy and giving to the intellectually impoverished.
Good one. 😄 😉
one time, when I was trying to toll my income tax to ten years so it would be dropped by statute of limitations I kept being called by the IRS saying they will garnish my wages and I told them "oh no ma'am I will be fired if you do that and then you won't get anything" and the IRS agent says to me "well It's against the law for them to fire you for wage garnishment" and then I said "oh no ma'am it wont' be for wage garnishment it will be for financial irresponsibility that I will get fired and then you won't get anything" to which the IRS official said this: "Oh WELL, THAT'S COMPLETELY DIFFERENT". In 2015, 10 years later, my IRS past due taxes were cancelled and the lien against my home erased. I filed on time and admitted that I owed it but they can't make you pay. Just thought I would inform people since you will never EVER hear this anywhere else in the world.
True?
Yes, this is actually 100% the truth. It happened to me and I still can't believe it. But the Lord has not given me a path strewn with roses my friend. I've been struck by lightning, bankrupted, thrown in jail for trying to go back to work, had my signature forged by an ex-mother in law and sent the bill for 35,000. Recently God sent me a message via a dying black cat. It's been a wild ride. Looking forward to what is next! CHEERS JEFF AND C&C CROWD.
There’s a highly entertaining book in you, for sure!
Just call it "intellectual appropriation." Then maybe she will be shamed enough to resign.
Very clever:)
Priceless. I have said from the 1800's that a lie travels halfway around the world before the truth can even get it's pants on. You can quote me on that.
Mark Twain beat you to it. Please give him the credit due him
It was a very sarcastic joke. I know who said it and I know when he said it. I certainly didn't say it in the 1800's. And...the majority of readers on here are above average and I have every confidence that they know good and well who quoted the above and you proved me correct.
On a thread about plagiarism, somebody plagiarizes Mark Twain in an overtly obvious way... I assumed it was a kind of meta-joke.
Likely, this has been happening throughout her educational experiences. She must be so shocked that she’s being called out on it. I think many of these lofty degree holders don’t fully understand what plagiarism is. And Joe Biden set such a good example, and what price did he ever pay? He is incapable of shame.

Wow that's some really old news ya got there...So old I don't even remember who that person is anymore...thanks for showing that so-called conservatives cheat too (even though I am fairly certain we all know that PEOPLE CHEAT--regardless of political persuasion.) I was once told my freshman year in high school (catholic school--don't judge) by my PE teacher that it had been his experience that catholics *steal* so lock your lockers. GASP! The shock! (Not). I locked my locker, not being a dummy who thought all catholics were pure as the driven snow (having grown up with many).
haha.... you and me got brought up right. Verify THEN Trust is the way I was brought up. My dear John Birch society member Grandmother taught me: Once they are caught LYING....... never will they be trustworthy again. The federal government in all it's glory is a complete terrible LIE. The IRS is unconstitutional and so is the D.E.A. and all the other agencies just spoke into being. Federal government needs cut by at least 80%
I am completely ignorant of this. How is the IRS unconstitutional?
watch the documentary From Freedom to Fascism
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ub2isy55aPI
I'm surprised it's still on youtube. Aaron Russo is the famous producer and businessman who then produced this documentary. The 13th amendment was passed in 1913 to make the income tax legal. But it wasn't passed with the full house because it was done Christmas eve.
The 16th Amendment is the one in question. It states, "The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."
Then there's the language in Article 1, Section 9 of the Constitution which states, "No capitation, or other direct, Tax shall be laid, unless in Proportion to the Census or Enumeration herein before directed to be taken."
A capitation tax is a poll tax, "...an imposition which is yearly laid on each person according to his estate and ability." (Bouvier's Law Dictionary, 6th Edition)
Read: Article 1, Section 9 says no individual (capitation) tax *unless* it's the same amount for every individual (in Proportion...). 16A says Congress can tax incomes, i.e., implied is: impose a capitation tax. It's critical to understand that no provision of Article 1, Section 9 was ever repealed. So both of these laws stand.
If you're scratching your head, seeing as the two provisions on the surface contradict one another, the TRUTH is, that they can both indeed stand.
16A has been adjudicated to assert that the "taxes on incomes" is an excise tax. The language in the Amendment disguises the genuine limitation.
What's an excise tax?
I have to cut this short saying that it's impossible for a comment post to do justice to the illegitimacy of what Americans believe to be the income tax.
It's heavy reading, 200+ pages, all of dense, revealing, engendering cognitive dissonance and anger if not fury once you understand what's been perpetrated, but trust me, it's worth the effort. The book title is, Cracking the Code: The Fascinating Truth About Taxation in America by Peter Eric Hendrickson.
Go to the author's website, https://losthorizons.com/CtC/FrontMatter.htm
*edit: Fellow C&C reader @Gabriella took the time to go there and report the news that the book in its entirety is now available to read online at no cost. The above link takes you to a page updated by the author in August 2023 (as of this writing). From there you can read the book on the website. The website is a trove of information but better understood in the context of having the book under your belt. Some people don't pay income taxes. All perfectly legal. Some gyrations and persistence required, unofficial help available at the website, but so worth it. SO worth it.
So if it wasn’t passed with full house does it even stand?
I think the reference is to the confiscatory policies the agency has been permitted to employ rather than the existence of a revenue collection agency.
Nice round number....which 80%?
Start with the 3 letter unelected bloated agencies.
What percentage do you think they would add up to?
Probably greater than the elected ones...
We Catholics know we are sinners in need of a savior. And we are individuals responsible for our own sins. Are Protestants as a group pure as the driven snow?

I never attended parochial school, but I suspect your Catholic education (secular part) was light years better than what the equivalent public skool system offered.
I went to both private and public. It really depends on the teacher and I had some bad and good ones in both. Parents that put their kids in private schools care about education so their kids usually do too.
I also taught in both private and public schools. When the parents care and support their children they do well, but when they do not care the children do poorly.
It is that simple.
It is that simple until the academy in question runs afoul of government mandates. Then the private school usually has the control advantage denied the public school. Follow the money to trace the controls.
They all run afoul. The private school my child went to followed the CDC... It is worse in public though. Live for God and survive until He calls us home.
I went to catholic school in first and second grade and was at least a FULL YEAR ahead of my peers in my new public school in 3rd. My brother who went thru 4th was 2 years ahead. I literally spent 3rd grade lalala-ing around bored off my ass and making a pain of myself by talking to my new classmates all the time. I went public thru 8th then back to catholic for high school bc my grandma wanted us to go to her alma mater and "made a donation" to the school (which ended up not really covering the whole cost what with increases and they never let me hear the end of it my senior year when I was a less than ideal student--ahem--) . I didn't find myself behind in high school mostly because I was not an average student and had learned how to "learn" (mostly by reading everything not tied down). My brother is a genius. Neither one of us struggled but then we had been taught the fear of God by Sister Anna Mary, God bless her.
🤣🤫😉
When I was in Catholic school another student (8th grade) introduced me to smoking weed. Catholic school kids were some of the biggest trouble makers, and so sneaky. Honestly the best behaved and seemingly good ones were the ones from Hispanic homes. Like the girl who beat me for highest average overall when we graduated. 😡 😁
That's been my experience as well. HAHAHA. Trouble, the lot of us. But in general (at least my generation) well grounded and brutally loyal, willing to forgive and always ready to have a good time.
I too appreciate for linking. We need to remember that anyone in government should be viewed with skepticism.
So should anyone out of government. In fact, those who advocate skepticism should be viewed with skepticism, which is the equivalent of saying to accept anything anyone tells you as the unvarnished truth.
Obviously the above is meant in jest, but only partially so. There are valid issues here, such as to what is intellectually valid inquiry/debate/theory/etc.

Referencing is a patriarchal, oppressive construct!
Expecting people to do their own academic work is academic colonialism!
...something, something White Supremacy!
LOL.
Spelling is a construct of the white patriarchy, and must therefore be ignored. Judging by recent adventures at the checkout counter, the same wokie criterion also applies to basic math.
Obviously you jest, but both those actually *are* arguments put forth explicitly by the Marxist academic radicals — that both spelling, and mathematics (as taught currently), are "oppressive" because they do not account for "other ways of knowing".
There is an entire rabbit hole of loony far left academics arguing that 2+2 = 5, because [insert "other ways of knowing" ...aka b*llsh*t I just made up right now, because I can't win this in argument based on merit].
On one level it's riotously funny. But it becomes a whole lot less funny when they're indoctrinating millions of kids with this stuff, annually. We are heading for a future where bridges regularly collapse, because: Equity.
:/
This is just disgusting. If it harms them then they are intellectually incapable. If it doesn’t harm them, then it is the left’s denigration and belief that they need these policies to prop them up.
A/K/A the soft bigotry of low expectations.
exactly. Couldn’t have said it better.
It also harms students from PRC. No one owns anything in China so everything is everybody's. They come here to a university and do not get it. Being disciplined for plagiarism is a 'foreign' concept.
When I taught writing at a college--before I left bc mandates--many of the students (majority hispanic) had never been taught anything substantive about paraphrasing. Many had never read a whole book in the precious two years. Even after weeks of lessons and practicing, I was stunned at the amount of intentional plagiarism and cheating I encountered, and the amount of times I had to report kids.
What I found out though, was that the University (CA State one) did nothing. The kids got a talking-to. The only other 'punishment' was that I could give them a zero on the assignment (which is 59 points less than an F!). Many teachers got demoralized by this and did NOT report; others were fully woke-indoctrinated and went with the "but they never even had the training, poor things" route. Even though we were all required to give them the training. The "And how bad is plagiarism, really? Look at what the internet has done, you can't fight is anymore.... Don't we have other, more important battles to fight?"
I would later see kids I had confronted and reported on the Honor Roll and think, hmmmm.
Without a doubt.
Very much doubt she's alone here, someone's going to have a field day checking diversity hire theses through modern plagiarism-checking tools. These simple tools didn't exist back when the theses were written and the authors probably thought they'd never get caught.
People selected for reasons other than their intelligence and accomplishments by definition are not impressive. They don't get through a top-tier university without cheating or working extremely hard. I doubt it's the latter in most cases.
You overlook at least one other possibility: What about the case where the student herself didn't cheat (or even work, perhaps) but the university essentially did the cheating for her, essentially giving her a participation trophy for just showing up?
Because FEEEEEELINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Smug phonies pretty much sums up about 80% of the Harvard orbit. For the most part, they are a bunch of welfare recipients - either from their families' money buying their way in or their skin color gaining them entrance. It's been that way for generations now, so it comes as no surprise this clown is just another phony put into her role due to her skin color. Glad to see Rufo expose it. Tear the whole thing down, IMO. All of the Ivy league schools need to go or at least be recognized for the frauds they are. And public schools need to be reformed to serve the needs, interests, and political viewpoints of the taxpayers in their respective states.
University of PA had the audacity to contact me as a former varsity squash player for a donation. Seriously??? After telling them what I think of men in women's sports, I had them remove me from all lists. The world has truly gone mad.
I somehow sense the falling of the Ivies was done on purpose. We identify as Americans with our once-great universities, and with many other things like Bud Light or Target. The Deep State targets these things for purposeful destruction so the identity of America itself falters. They don’t want us to have a country to identify with. It doesn’t serve their plans for the Great Reset.
I see it the opposite. The Ivies were the mechanism by which LGBTQWTH+!-? and things like DEI were pushed into western society. From the "elite" universities into the F500 and legal/consulting/prof svcs/healthcare arenas where they could be foisted on everyone by their employer, their consultant, or the doctor. In a direct way, the Ivies caused the Bud Light and Target disasters.
IMO, never losing control is the main goal of the social planners / resetters. They really do not care one bit if it's socialism or fascism or highly regulated capitalism that is espoused, so long as they maintain control. They are not particularly ideological, except that they think the average person is a rube who clings to guns and Bibles (as their false demigod once let slip). That means in their minds, they need to control people b/c people are too stupid to manage themselves.
So, now that they see their control slipping due to the overreach of leftist policies - and they haven't been able to arm wrestle it back with all their shaming, censorship, and lawfare efforts - they're reversing course to try to retain control. IMO, it will work, sadly, just as it always has b/c people are tribal.
Removing statues did the same...
If you are going to plagiarize someone Dr.Swain is a brilliant source. A highly intelligent classy lady, unlike any of the three losers that testified before congress.
Yes, those three that testified are super losers.
Christopher Rufo works for the neo-con Manhattan Institute, founded by former CIA director William Casey and funded by Big Pharma, Big Food, Big Chem, Big Oil, etc.
It's a bastion of the deep state establishment.
His attack is likely motivated by an easy win for his career -- his post appears to be focused on arguing against critical race theory -- and Manhattan Institute's alliances with Israel, as the purported plagiarism Rufo's posted on his twitter feed does not appear to be plagiarism -- she cites her sources very clearly.
But then Manhattan Institute writers have been publicly accused of junk scholarship. So pot calling the kettle black.
This is just dirty politics. We'll see how it plays out.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
True in some cases, but in this one it's the pro-Israel lobby through the Manhattan Institute trying to bully every major institution in the US to get behind Israel despite world condemnation of Israel's genocide.
It's nothing more than a suppression of free thinking and free speech in the US, carried out by Congress, which held the hearings and is completely bought and paid for by the pro-Israel lobby, and deep state tools like the Manhattan Institute.
As an American I don't want people telling me who I can support and who I can't and what I can say and what I can't.
The three academic institutions under attack -- Harvard, MIT, and Penn -- were making that point in the hearings. That's why more than 600 Harvard academics have signed a petition supporting Gay.
So these three women presidents are supporting free speech in the US.
I would also point out that Jeff's comments on their looks and attractiveness is the oldest trick in the book, attacking someone's person to avoid dealing with the real issues. Not to mention being a throwback to the 1950s.
The question is, even though he is a lawyer and supposed to uphold the Constitution, is Jeff against free speech?
As an American I don't want people to tell me to support corrupt Ukraine with my tax dollars.
As an American I don't want any government agency to tell me I have to take a "vaccine" against my will.
As an American I don't want to be booted off of pre-Elon Twitter because I did not support the covid death shots or Ukraine.
As an American I don't want a bunch of liberal white or black Karens, who support antisemitism, in positions of power.
If you delve deeper, you will find out that those three university presidents are not defending free speech in the US.
I am completely with you on Ukraine, the vaccines, and twitter censorship.
I've read the C-Span transcript of the hearings and here is exactly what she said: "SPEECH IS PROTECTED AND THAT EXTENDS TO SPEECH WE FIND OBJECTIONABLE AND OFFENSIVE AND EVEN OUTRAGEOUS. IT'S WHEN SPEECH CROSSES AND TO CONDUCT ARE KNOWN TO AROUND THE BULLYING, HARASSMENT, INTIMIDATION THAT IT BECOMES ACTIONABLE." (Cut and pasted from the transcript with mistakes)
That is exactly in line with Constitutional protection of free speech and the law.
You can watch the hearing here (https://www.c-span.org/video/?532147-101/university-presidents-testify-college-campus-antisemitism-part-2).
The three presidents are not supporting anti-semitism but rather free speech, and they are exactly right that telling students what they can and can't say is in direct violation of their civil rights.
This is to our direct benefit, because if we let Congress suppress our right to free speech in this situation, then we could be complicit in losing it for good. As it is our government seems to be in a war against its own citizens and this would be yet another step in stripping us our rights. Next step 15-minute cities and digital currency!
If those protests on campus were anti-Muslim instead of antisemitic, do you think their responses would be the same?
I saw that as well. Unbelievable! I know a professor (a slime ball) who was fired for moral turpitude. Those days are long gone.
Wow.
Beautiful!
😯
Here's the scoop - Harvard's president also stole from people other than Dr. Swain.
Most of Twitter was abuzz with the plagiarism from Dr. Swain.

Victim of adversity of diversity …. 😂🤬🤮🤮🤮
I am willing to bet this will get worse. With all the AI stuff. ,
I’m sure she’s going to throw the racism card in there for someone even having the audacity to check her thesis.
She was just following in the foot steps of the "great" Martin Luther King, Jr. She's probably a communist like him too. He was a philanderer and a phony, and "conservatives" need to drop the idol worship they display for him.
Conservatives need to drop the hero worship they have for war criminal George Bush.
So no one in Harvard's employment office checked this woman's thesis for authenticity... what a bunch of morons. It's way past time to elevate community colleges and trades.
Absolutely no way they were going to check (and I would go further and say they probably already knew but she is just too good a diversity character to let go).
I will happily donate the maximum number of chainsaws allowed under law to any candidate who makes the Mieli pledge.
Chainsaws should be the new anti-establishment symbol in the "Normal" world.
.........
On another note, Tucker's interview with Alex Jones is off the charts. Jones has been the canary in the coal mine for years!
JEFF! The chainsaw is your new emoji to denote the right side turning.
Love it!!!
The only successful Sci-Fi (now SyFy, because there is no science at all on that channel) movie they ever made was Sharknado, which was a ridiculous but absolutely hysterical story of a man with a chainsaw fighting sharks that fell out of tornadoes. The sharks did uncool things like terrorize a busload of children. He was having none of it. I seem to see an off the wall paralell here, certainly I'm betting there were "sharks" and they were most definitely terrorizing everyone, including children I'm sure, in Argentina. I like their new president and we need someone that off the rails here. The libs would go insane. (P.S. I have no beef with actual sharks that swim in the ocean. They are less dangerous than leftist politicians.)
Alex Jones is out there but I admire his refusal to keep his mouth shut.
Go watch Tucker and Alex together on Tuckers channel.
Ah, the classic Sharknado, produced by Asylum Films. They went on to make many more ‘classics,’ including a movie I worked on in NC: “American Battleship.” It’s okay if you missed this gem, although the actor Carl Weathers, from ‘Rocky’ was a joy to work with … 😊
Cool! I am going to check both movies out.
I’m afraid I initiated something. Please don’t throw rocks at me, if you view ‘American Battleship!’
😂 I won’t.
Sharknado is a love it or hate it deal. I find it hilarious but like PamelaZelie said, please don't throw rocks at me if it stinks :) LOL!
Out of respect for you, I will check this movie out!
No no. It is a horrendous movie … low budget to the max. Even my son, an adolescent at the time said, “Mom! I can’t even watch this movie to the end!”
You provided a walk down memory lane with your mention of Asylum Films. I still chuckle at the title of one of their films: “Abraham Lincoln vs Zombies!”
Perhaps they were ahead of their time: it certainly fits our current government.
You might earn some coin by cutting a deal to lease the Asylum Films catalog to The History Channel ....
😜
Apparently they had to change name to American Warship, and Rotten tomatoes 13%, but I also like Carl Weathers...
Haha, I saw "Abe v Zombies". It was amusing. "Alternate History", if you will. Arguably, better than "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies".
Far out! I did miss it but will have to check it out :)
😂🤣🙃
I'd really like Milei to be what he says for once. But we're all chastened by the many mirage's of brave freedom-supporting leaders so I'll withhold my endorsement pending future action.
Two data points about him make me leery, on top of his WEF legacy..
- He met with Bill Clinton and Clinton world in NY when he visited last week.
- Ukraine's tyrant and Deep State puppet Zelensky attended his installation ceremony.
The jury is still out. But possesses that adverse information about the defendant. As more evidence is presented this juror is diligently taking it all in.
PG Wodehouse once had Jeeves tell Bertie Wooster that he had attended a communist meeting because "it is useful to know what tune the devil is whistling". I wonder if this is why Milei went to the WEF.
I do consider that as a possibility for some of those who've indulged the WEF universe. From personal experience I've done intellectual reconnaissance of those I've considered malefactors since I was a preteen. I'd listen to Radio Moscow at night on my AM radio, the broadcasts coming from Havana were easy to tune in at my home in Miami. I was a regular listener. Not because I was an aspiring Marxist. But because I wanted to know why I had enemies, what they thought and had to say about my home. It was that experience where I learned about propaganda, how propagandists take a small truth and create a large fiction out of it. I was able to see in real time the world my eyes observed and listen to a false interpretation of it and note the disparities, where the truth was twisted. I also began to tune in to TASS evening news carried by my local PBS station following the national network news broadcasts. And I'd read Pravda newspapers in my local library when we went there for family night. Same reason. To know what tune the devil was whistling.
I fell back into the practice of tuning into the propaganda of our adversaries in early 2020. I'd read Global Times and China Daily, both official mouthpieces of the CCP, for information on the pandemic, the global response, how they were reacting the US response. And it turns out that what they were writing about it was more accurate than what our own government and media was telling us. Not only did it make more logical sense at the time, but in hindsight it was largely the truth of it. Like travel bans not working to control respiratory viral outbreaks.
Reconnaissance of them saying that travel bans politicize infectious disease, nation's blaming other nations for something they have no control of leads to nation's leaders blaming their people for something they have no control of - which was lifted straight from the WHO's own pre-2020 pandemic planning guides. With the understanding that such blame-shifting would lead to a loss of the liberties and freedoms that western liberal democracies valued. But that if that's they way the US and west wanted to approach the pandemic the world would get to see the differences between the competing systems of governance. And that while western liberal democracies are more innovative and creative in normal times than collectivist authoritarian ones, that in times of crisis the people will prefer the protective strong hand of government to lead them through it. And while they believed their system was better suited for a health emergency that western systems would be well-advised to stick with their system of governance until the crisis passed. Unnecessarily disturbing that which works for a society in an emergency leads to division and strife that distracts from efforts to protect the population from greater harms. If the US and west wanted to adopt China's governing system they should wait until the crisis had passed. Basically, "dance with the one who brung ya," advice.
And they said that antivirals along the lines of Ivermectin and HCQ were proving to be very effective in early treatment.
Sometimes an adversary will tell you uncomfortable truths that your own government won't. Especially when your own government has become propagandists who consider their own citizens an enemy that needs to be propagandized. But unless you're willing to step outside your paradigm, the cage your mind has been living in you'll never hear information that you'd be better off hearing.
The key is discernment. Getting as much information from all sources you can, including from those who don't think like you and your circle and discerning what is useful and what isn't is how we make the best decisions we can. God gave each of us that wonderful gift, that most important gift to navigating a world full of fallen men spreading deception for their own agendas. Perhaps Senor Milei is doing just that. The evidence will be in his actions, not just his words we receive well.
To Jeff's point... the election of Milei was more about the people of Argentina than about him.
And we'll see how he decides to lead the people of Argentina who voted for what he represented. If his actions fit his words. And if they don't then how will the people of Argentina respond? We and they can only hope he acts in accordance with his words.
Maybe he wants to get face to face with the enemies.
Perhaps. More evidence is required to render a fair verdict.
Really...Clinton and Zelensky?
Hmmm.
Tuckers interview with Milei in September (admittedly transcribed) was very compelling.
https://x.com/tuckercarlson/status/1702442099814342725?s=42
I just saw this clip of Zelenskyy in Argentina. First cornering Hungary's PM Orban (a pragmatic leader not rushing in lockstep with Ukraine's foolish war). Then greeting, hugging Milei. The point of contention.
https://youtu.be/qYN8veMHs0g
BUT...
There was additional context towards the end of the video after the hug. Milei presented Zelenskyy with a Menorah in recognition of Hanukkah this week. Zelenskyy is purportedly Jewish. Not devout, but Jewish. We know that Jews are targeted for hate crimes, are beaten, killed by Ukrainian Nazi's, a large part of Ukraine's population. The celebrated and glorified Azov battalion full Nazi. Who Zelenskyy speaks glowingly of, Nazi's and Jews, not thought of as friends.
With that background and suspicions that Zelenskyy isn't all that Jewish after all, supports Nazi's himself, for him to receive a Menorah is a brilliant bit of trolling by Milei. Forcing Zelenskyy to uncomfortably accept a very symbolic gift, large enough for the cameras to capture in the images of them together going back to Ukraine. And the message that sends back to Ukrainian Nazi's supporting Zelenskyy. Brilliant trolling! Milei set clownish tyrant puppet up for that money shot! Most Western audiences would miss that. Ukrainians won't. Bravo!
I know, right? I saw that Tucker interview, I've seen a lot about him that I'm glad he's saying. But those are two data points worth filing, yellow caution flags. Which is ok. Honestly we should view all new players with the same caution. We can, as Reagan said, "Trust but verify." Wise counsel.
About those actions...

Another data point. Unfavorable for freedom and liberty supporters rejecting global governance and the WEF agenda.
NOT good
Hi
I have never listened to Alex Jones and just wrote him off as being nuts but that interview with Tucker opened my eyes a little bit more. I had no idea he predicted 9/11.
Coalorado is Banning/shutting down and sealing off our Coal mines...unless just exporting cleaner coal to China? I suppose the Dem Donors might make serious $$$ off that in a few years
The Peregrine is loose!
For almost 30 years.
He has, hasn’t he?
I love the chainsaw symbol idea!
I absolutely loved that Fareed segment. Thank you - you made my day!
When I was still on facebook, I was "friended" with my former best friend from Junior High. She is now a college-level professor of "English Rhetoric." Early in 2020, even before the lockdowns, she started down the Covidiot pathway. I made a comment on one of her posts about germaphobes (wide-eyed masked wonders) showing up at the grocery stores. My former "friend" immediately broadcasted to her 100's of followers that she had "MUTED" this "asshat."
To say she had turned into someone who only accepted her own point of view would be a massive understatement.
The irony of her calling you an asshat. 🤦♀️
I am surrounded by these same types. They are deranged.
I sympathize with you guys. I come from a long-line of right-wing wackos, married a fellow conservative nutjob, work in a results-oriented hard engineering environment, attend a biblical born-again church, have my kids in a biblical school, and don't have social media accounts. I *never* experience these people aside from a few isolated incidents. If it weren't from hearing other people's stories I wouldn't know they existed.
Count my blessings I guess. If I had to deal with this on a regular basis I'd pull my hair out.
I worked at the University of Florida for some years and learned to keep my mouth shut in conversation with almost everybody there, from students to staff. The president of school was an appeaser of the Left. Ben Sasse is now president and the liberal Marxist faculty and student body is squirming, whining about conservative changes.
Is that in Tallahassee?
Gainesville
Most of us (I believe) see these blighted souls as our mission field. We toil on with forbearance and generosity (albeit with frequent confrontations)sustained by God’s grace and the confidence that there are a number of God’s elect hidden within mind-locked liberal demography who have the potential to experience the liberating epiphany promised in the gospel message....at least that is what keeps me moving toward the front lines of the culture war. The root issue is really one’s response to Christ’s claim that He is Lord rather than one’s stated position on the political spectrum.
My biggest and best argument I have against their lunacy is I am still alive and well and healthy. I blow up their provaxx arguments. I am the elephant 🐘 in the room. Corn pop lied.
We have to be thankful though everyone!!! We aren't the dumb ones! We are the ones with open eyes and ears. We have a big job coming when this all bursts!! Which I am hearing no credit cards will work by the end of this week. That the de-dollarazation is starting. Have cash and gas and food people!! Who knows what will happen. Stock market is on the verge of Crashing. Be ready. God Bless us all as we enter into a contentious time.
Same here Jeff C 👍🙂
Me too Annie
Yes, makes for a strange mine field to navigate.
Later Jay
She might end up on the "died suddenly" list soon if she took multiple jabs.
I was still on Facebook back when covid reared its false and ugly head. (I used Facebook for family photos and work-related jobs) I was, silly me, shocked by the illogical and nasty replies posted when I dared to ridicule and belittle covid policies.
Much happier being off that toxic platform.
Ditto! I'm off most social media now. (C&C comments don't count ... 'cause I NEED this, lol...)
Agree!!!
Ditto
Same
I had to “unfollow “ a whole bunch of people so I didn’t see their posts. That way I could still see my gardening groups, etc $ people who weren’t virtue signaling the day long. I am thankful I withstood all that and never wavered from my decision- My question is why supposed educated people were so ignorant of information I could easily find that made me question?
I know a few of those...no more critical thinking discussions
I deal with many of those but I do see doubt creeping in
'Asshat'? I pity her students.
That's so terrible. Those are the ones dying from the jab!! Not that I want her too, but we have enough proof.
Many, many more like her
"It (DEI) started with good intentions...."
This is false.
Yeah, it STARTED with dogmatic ideology and then quadrupled down. *No good intentions were harmed in the intentional ruination of higher-learning establishments.
"It all depends on what the meaning of 'good' is," right? Paraphrasing Bill Clinton. If one's highest good is self-empowerment and -enrichment, then the intentions were 'good.'
And there is that to consider as well.
Exactly! DIE (there, I fixed it) means "white people evil". That's racism, too. All racism stinks.
It’s a statement to make the sheep feel better about having gone off the cliff following the wrong shepherds. It’s ok to wake up now that you are about to hit the ground.
Yea, that was his one slip up in an otherwise reasonable assessment.
Mileu, Musk, Trump and even the resignation of the U Penn president are examples of the principle - “power of zero and one”. As long as there are NO systems or institutions providing meaningful push back against the damning forces, those forces will continue to grow and prosper. As soon as 1 ONE person or institution reverses it’s compliance and stands in defiance to the evil, provides an example of what “right” looks like, others will begin to crumble and soon join onto the path of truth. This is what I pray we are seeing.
"Javier Milei about-turns as he commits to Paris climate agreement" DOH!

Hmm, bears looking into... however, is he going to claim that they are a "developing nation" and therefore now that he's joined the agreement, all the other "rich countries" need to provide them aid, and they won't cut their carbon until they've been receiving aid for 20 years?
And did he not also meet with Zelensky?
Except it isn’t even real. It’s just “ let’s sound like them until they leave us alone and we win ( or steal) again.” Always.
The correct term for those “educators” is smugnorant. Credit to Jimmy Dore.
Love that!!
