Stunning study connects jabs and deaths; key Biden advisor surprising identity; chaos spreads from Biden Campaign to infect NATO; Russia arms Middle East; Supreme Court poised to make history; more.
Good morning comrades. May the Supreme Court continue to rule wisely to return power back to the people, away from the deep state. Hope we can celebrate America’s 248th birthday with gusto as we subvert the subversion.
Just this morning it occurred to me that I could not have imagined the Court ruling against free speech / for govt. censorship by proxy in Missouri v. Biden (or whatever it's now called.)
Similarly, I cannot imagine the Court ruling against Presidential immunity.
Gives me chills to think about that confluence of my own lack of imagination. Maybe it does you, too.
Me and some aware friends were saying this re dangers of the bioweapons that we never trusted as a legitimate vaxx -if there was ever such thing!-. "For the first time in my life I hope I am wrong!"
Thank you for the link! The entire ruling is linked in the article. Down goes the case to Judge Chutkan again. BOUNCE! Let's see how far that bouncing up and down lasts. Pretty good odds, it wouldn't be over before November, or even next January.
AND now, Trump has, through his challenges, courage, choices and actions, forced another ''precedential'' ruling which can be used (once it's fleshed out in the courts as to what is core, official and unofficial immunity) to address and adjudicate the actions of any other current or future FPOTUS ("Former President of the United States," as they like to call Trump).
Youre comment made me realize that PDJT has done for this country in the last three years what he may not have been able to do with a consecutive 2nd term
The ruling pretty clearly stated that bribery is "unofficial" and can be prosecuted. (With some dissent over what the limits are on evidence that can be used in the prosecution as to official acts done in exchange for the bribe.)
The lower courts will still have the say so on what constitutes "official acts" - but that leaves the door open to examine what the current pr*ck and his minions have been doing while in office once they've been shown the door.
Thomas' concurring opinion is also interesting; he spends a while talking about how the Special Counsel appears to not be a valid office created by Congress, and therefore the entire prosecution may be null and void. Seems like there's a good chance this will be one of the next objections to be appealed if the lower courts continue to allow the prosecution.
It's a more nuanced ruling than what you are suggesting. They definitely made distinctions about absolute v. presumptive immunity and separating "official acts" from "unofficial acts." It is those questions that have to be evaluated by the lower courts. SCOTUS definitely seemed peeved to have had to review this case at all saying the lower courts didn't do their job correctly. Take that for what it's worth.
besides, when has this administration (that keeps claiming that another term for Trump will spell then end of democracy here) do what the law requires, or even what the Supreme Court decides?
Sorry all, I thought William's comment was referring to the immunity ruling but Willing might be right and that he is talking about the Missouri v. Murthy/Biden ruling.
But it's my understanding, from Jeff Childers, that the Court did NOT so rule ~ that what the Court DID rule was that the plaintiffs before it in the instant case lacked the requisite STANDING to present that issue to the Court for adjudication ... ?? The point being: NO ruling on the merits of the case has been handed down.
Right, the very fact of ruling that they "lack standing" means that there's a precedent that you can't sue over "one-step-removed" censorship due to lack of standing. Although, it would be quite possible that in future in a less politically-heated climate, SCOTUS might "differentiate" other cases sufficiently as to make this precedent effectively inapplicable to any other case in future.
(Example: "well, the problem was that this case had SO much evidence and the plaintiffs just didn't quite point clearly enough at SPECIFIC acts by the government, but that was highly unusual, and all these other cases have slightly less broad swath of evidence / the plaintiffs were slightly more specific in their claims, therefore they DO have standing")
(Edit: yes it's still a weasel move, but I can't entirely blame the majority for misplacing their dangly bits in the face of loud and repeated calls to pack the court or otherwise neuter SCOTUS' power.)
I think the lefties on the Court might be justly worried about the consequences to Biden of a decision that goes too far on allowing prosecution/persecution of Presidents, esp. given recent polling (the debate came sadly too late to be likely to have changed a vote, or even the content of an opinion) and President Trump's use of the word 'retribution.'
Absolutely. The TV pundits are calling this a major victory for Trump. Well, given everything Biden has done, I think it's an even bigger victory for him!
It could be viewed that way. But that’s a dangerous road to go down. I think this is a necessary major victory for the nation. And the ruling should never have been required.
Presidential crimes need to be dealt with through impeachment. That’s the provided methodology.
Our Checks and Balances need serious reform and repair. And the intelligence agencies need to be dissolved.
Calling it now: if republicans have balls, the next SCOTUS challenge will be over whether they can impeach Biden post-term so as to render him liable to prosecution.
Not necessarily - he too is immune for any "official acts", but at least in theory open to bribery prosecution, or anything else that can be argued to be "unofficial".
It does mean that Biden can't be criminally charged for "conspiracy to undermine the government" or something, on the basis of making terrible policy decisions.
I have a high opinion of the current court. We do not need a right leaning court and heaven knows we do not need a left leaning court. We need one that strictly interprets the law of the CONSTITUTION. We desperately need a CONSTITUTIONAL COURT. Given the wavey pattern of the decisions coming out this session, I think these nine (of a majority of the nine) are doing their best to stay to the constitution. I don’t “trust” them, they are humans and clearly have the capacity to make mistakes but I have hope their decisions will be well reasoned and not activist in nature as we’ve seen in the past
They truly seem to be 3-3-3. The middle 3 have been swing voters on many surprising issues. And 2 of them are Trump appointees! (Commie Barrett, Beer Kavanaugh, and then Pretty Boy Roberts)
unfortunately Kennedy is changing with the wind, just like trump was and is. I am writing in someone, because I do not trust either of the 3. Formerly 2 parties were not enough to fool the people (Bob Hope) now we will have a third one. And remember, European countries might have 5, 6 or more parties and they are mostly doing the same. Russian and Hungarian are above my learning capacity. Sadly enough.
Ingrid, I was an observer for a recount in 2018 (when DeSantis narrowly won). I learned a lot, and one thing I learned was that ballots cast for anyone who is not a qualified candidate (filed and either paid the filing fees or got a sufficient number of petitions and filed the required financial reports), such as many write-ins, are not counted, but each one must be adjudicated by the Election Board, wasting the time of those officials, the elections staff, and the observers.
I haven’t seen Trump change with the wind. If you go back and listen to him in interviews from several decades ago, I believe you’ll see he’s been amazingly consistent throughout.
Franklin - thank you for the link to Rappoport's Substack. He is brilliant. Unfortunately, it is behind a paywall, even the comments. But his opening that I could read is alone telling.
Erm, 5G doesn't cause metal toxicity, those are two different things (though one could validly be concerned about both).
Metal toxicity is caused by ingesting or injecting heavy metals (but thankfully, not by *listening* to heavy metal XD), whereas the concern with 5G is the level of electromagnetic radiation exposure.
Good point. Unless you are right next to a cell tower, you are much more likely to receive more cumulative RF radiation from your cell phone than a tower. The reason for this is RF power density drops as the *square* of the distance from the source. The power from that cell tower drops fast.
It's why I always tell people to set their phone to wi-fi calling/data whenever possible. The phone uses something called adaptive power control and only put out the power needed to close the link. Since the wifi router is much closer than a typical cell tower, your phone will put out at least 100x lower power, even as much as 10,000x lower depending on how far away the cell tower is. Also, don't live or work next to a cell tower. (I'm an RF systems engineer by profession.)
Unfortunately that's difficult to answer as there are so many variables. For example, if you are at an elevated location (say in a high rise apartment) with the antenna across the street *and pointed right at you* that's really not good. Cell tower antennas are directive so the energy is focused in a particular direction.
If though, you are relatively close to a tower yet you are at ground level, the signal is actually pretty low as the antenna is designed to not radiate power downward but outward. Also, if there is stuff between the tower and you (like a building) it will also reduce exposure.
Bottom line though is we don't really know what's actually safe, and the current standards were developed in the 1960's and don't account for everything we've learned since then. I personally think they allow far more exposure than I'd like to accumulate, which is why I take steps to reduce it.
Phones can connect to the network using either your wireless plan (e.g. Verizon) or your local wifi router that you have in your home or office. The difference is that the wireless plan requires that you connect to a cell tower than can be up to a mile away with lots of stuff between you and it blocking the signal. Your cell phone can tell this as it gets a signal status from the cell tower. So your phone keeps cranking up the power (the strength of the signal it's transmitting) until it gets a message that the tower is receiving it adequately. This is really oversimplified but it's the basis of what's called adaptive power control.
Your wifi router on the other hand is likely no more than fifty feet away. As I mentioned above, the signal drops as the square of the distance. So in the example of the cell tower a mile away (5280 feet) versus the wifi router 50 feet away, the equation is 5280^2/50^2 = 11,151. That means your cell phone has to put out eleven thousand times more power to connect to that cell tower than the wifi router!! This will vary depending on how far away the cell tower is, but by routinely using wifi data/calling you will reduce exposure.
As with any poison, harm is determined by the duration of exposure and the *magnitude* of the exposure. Using wifi dramatically reduces the magnitude.
He is beholden to Israel, has backtracked on abortion AND illegal border crossings...there are many, many more, as you probably know. Voting for the lesser of 2 evils is still evil, in my book. Makes me pray that much more.
One more time…we don’t see President Trump as a savior. We see him as a massive weapon to pit against the evil and help us mightily as we ‘save ourselves’.
Of course we must pray... Without ceasing. But we also have a responsibility to vote. And to vote for the person who aligns closest to Scripture. No one person is ever going to be able to "save" our country. Our country has been gifted to us by God and it is our responsibility to take care of it until He returns! If the majority of Christians would get out and vote instead of sitting out an election because the persons running have flaws, we would not be in the position we are today!
Militarized Cognitive Warfare: Human Brains Under Attack In Post Covid Era And Natural Treatment Ways To Resist And Reverse Cognitive Deficits
Cognitive warfare is a well known and growing field of militarized interest. I have posted about the topic before. This article is to review the military documents regarding this mode of warfare. I am proposing that cognitive warfare has been deployed upon the global human population and it is misleadingly called brainfog, cognitive decline after C19 bioweapon injection. I propose that this is an intentional modification of the human brain via self assembly nanotechnology neuromodulation done by Graphene and other semiconducting metals Quantum Dots and invasive synthetic biology...
Summary:
It is evident that militarized neurocognitive warfare via the C19 bioweapon and weapon of mass destruction, spread through the population via shedding and and geoengineering warfare operations are having a detrimental effect on humanities cognitive function, hence reducing the ability of the masses to comprehend and react to the current multilevel depopulation warfare waged. Numerous easy and cheap protective natural molecules exist, as outlined here, that can help mitigate and reverse this attack while we as humanity fight for our freedom, health and the survival of our species.

....When we call a demon by its real name, we own it. The people who have done this to humanity are real demons, and they serve pure evil. Every human being must take a stand and declare what side they are on. It does not matter what individuals loose by coming clean in their soul. It matters that our species survives...
In May 2024, Tennessee enacted legislation banning geoEngineering in their state. The bill is a template for other States to use. I am doggedly after Texas elected officials (in my district) to write a bill banning geoEngineering/chemttrails in Texas. I hold hope that the two elected representatives want to be part of the solution to help Texans. If they do not follow through, I will consider them compromised turncoats-on-the-take. GeoEngineering/chemtrails/weather manipulation has caused property damages, electrical grid problems, deaths and economical harm in Texas and other States in this great United States of America. If you’re so inclined, please contact your State representatives regarding legislation to ban geoEngineering in your State.
All this is overwhelming! How do we even have a chance?
I already take compounded supplements prescribed from orthomolecular doctors. Then started seeing a NP doctor in Feb. to help with a sinus issue that wouldn’t resolve. Also seeing her for arm and shoulder pain that began July 2023 and hair loss/thinning which began 2021. And hormone balancing & food sensitivities. My prescribed protocols, physical therapy, Pilates classes are already a lot and take up a lot of my time. How can we possibly add in ALL these other recommendations???
my expectation is that they will 'split the baby" so the Trump trials can continue - and I'm guessing that NBC doesn't really know what the letters NAZI stand for, but if they bothered to look it up nowhere would they find far right
My question or things I’m pondering. With Presidential immunity doesn't that mean that Obummer, Clinton, Bush, and Biden cannot be prosecuted for their many ACTUAL crimes now? I’m not saying the ruling wasn’t right, but we’ve been listening to conservatives talk about how the D’s have now opened the door to prosecute those criminals. I think all of those former selected Residents are celebrating today, and probably cleaning up their pooped pants that they were on the chopping block next.
So the question becomes what is “official” and “unofficial”? And would Trump coming back in go after them for murder, treason etc etc because those acts would surely be considered “unofficial” and open to be prosecuted for?
I'd surely like to know when the "people" ever had full power over the government? When has the government ever run scared of what the people might do to it?
Presidential Immunity is Trump's, AND OURS, further protecting the USA from the unhinged but highly destructive lawfare of the lunatics who call themselves Democrats - and their enablers in the deep state and global marxists. We could probably not get a bigger birthday present for the country than the overturning of Chevron and finding Trump has immunity, as we all knew was the case, except in the minds of those who manipulated our 2020 and 2022 elections to seize power in the - ongoing - attempt to destroy the country. I'm thanking God for the 3 Trump SCOTUS Justices. I'm not wild about Commie-Barrett but maybe she will stop being cowardly/grey scale and get way more focused on imposing the Constitution.
The “unexpected” deaths are mounting around here, especially in the 50 to 70 age range with no prior problems. Unexpected has suddenly become the “new” word.
I see it every day I go to work, as I work as a nurse in a surgical ICU…younger and younger patients with so many complications of poor health. Sadly, it isn’t just jab related, as so many of our fellow citizens have lived lives of very little discipline: poor diets, poor exercise habits, smoking/vaping, alcohol, drugs, sugar, sugar, and more sugar, then add in poor sleep, poor work ethics, poor faith choices, and their bodies and minds have been and are being overwhelmed and destroyed. Jab damage is icing on top of poorly lived lives.
Just curious if your children got the recommended childhood jabs. My 3 did as I had no idea how horrific they were. My children didn’t grow up in the wonderful atmosphere as yours, but I believe these dozens and dozens of jabs have a lot to do with their ailments. My oldest son has allergies to animals, asthma when exposed to animals, ADHD, anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, & I believe on the A spectrum. My other son is diagnosed with bipolar 1, has sever dandruff issues. My daughter has cat allergies, asthma when exposed to cats, holds her left hand in a fist a lot of times which started at age 5, has severe dandruff issues, & excessive sweating. All 3 had bad acne as teens. Besides excess injections I’m sure environmental toxins are a big contributor also. My kids don’t want to hear from me either even though they know I have looked into health issues for many years.
Exactly, Carol. It's not for nuthin' that a huge proportion of American youth cannot qualify for military service, and that's not new, though I think it's been a growing proportion.
It’s been growing since pHarma was given free rein by Congress in 1986. How many Boomers remember a lot of classmates being unable to eat bread or fruit? How many Boomers remember the majority of classmates being diagnosed with ADD/ADHD/ODD/PANS/PANDAS/asthma/diabetes etc.? It’s been a “long game”. A population can’t fight when the majority of the population is damaged/injured.
Good comment, Carol, it’s encouraging to hear of a nurse who actually KNOWS something about the root causes of poor health. Most of the nurses I see have been indulging in far too much of that sugar, sugar, and more sugar. It’s sad to me that people who should be educated in all aspects of health are such poor examples of it.
The perfect acronym for our Standard American Diet, SAD says a lot about the state of our citizens health in general. Doctors have become not much more than drug pushers.
reading through obituaries lately lots of deaths are younger than me - almost 67. Lots of cancers, lots of sudden deaths, lots of short illnesses. Lots of ALS, Alzheimer, and all kinds of sicknesses I have to look up, never heard of.
What is even sadder, is the piece the New York Times wrote in today's paper about how the very young three and four year olds have suffered during the lockdown mask up no playing. It's a terrible terribly sad story and one can't help but think that all those responsible should be held responsible and maybe jailed.
so sad what happened to lots of children. Rural GA here, our school only closed a few weeks, never seen a mask, and they added 2 weeks to the end of the school year. I think our kids are still okay. Next town over they masked for months. One store insisted all unjabbed must wear masks. Needless to say I found another store.
My church, when the state finally allowed it to open, wanted the unvaxxed to wear a mask on the "honor system" and sit in a section away from everyone else.. Guess what? I didn't take the jab, and sat in the place I usually sat. Screw them!! I was so much better off for not being jabbed!
I could have gone in too, they probably did not check. But the fact that they discriminate along health decisions was enough for me. Now I discriminate because they did LOL. They lost a customer and the other store turns out to be much better.
You're so right. My MIL is in the hospital and struggling again and the doc was really asking a lot about her vax's (don't get my started, I'll cry - she's had 5). He said they've seen an "explosion" (his word) of auto immune disorders in the elderly (60, 70, 80) and they're linking it to the shots. Amazing to hear a doc say that outright. So sad.
He’s pretty slow to come to this information. Thanks to Dr. Sherri Tennpenny, I knew this before the jabs came to market. She protected my family from getting the jabs,
Holy cow! I wish my friend Elaine had that doctor. She's had several heart procedures since 2020, and a bushel basket of new pills. But the vaxxes have saved her!!
Red! This was in Myrtle Beach SC. It is a town where Trump flags fly proudly. Maybe people feel safe here speaking the truth? I just felt so comforted when he said that. He wasn't brushing her off...he said he wanted to run several tests and really get to the bottom of what is causing her breathing problem.
Her doc needs to contact Dr. Jordan Vaughn in Birmingham, AL. He’s done yoeman’s work helping covid-injured as well as cv19shot-injured patients. So many in the last 2+ yrs. that he doesn’t take any new patients other than these unfortunates.
My daughter is shot-free, but a mild case of covid affected her lungs w/ micro clots. Dr. V successfully treated her! He’s the real deal.
yes! The doc was asking if she had covid or had taken the shots because he said both could cause this. Interesting, huh? I will look into this doc. Thank you!
My sister has asthma and a list of comorbidities. She took the shots against advisement of her doctor.
Just last week, she complained again that the medical community cannot figure out why her breathing has gotten so bad (don’t get me started on the fact that most doctors can’t find their own ass, it seems).
And like always, she brushed off my suggestion to get checked for micro clots…
So very sorry that your MIL and the family are having to deal with all this. I will place y'all on my prayer list and will be including her in my prayers. God bless you sweetie
Has anyone figured out who this doc is? Why can’t we know who he is? I hesitate on being a paid subscriber. I would like to know whose work I’m contributing to. And I’m a bit irked that he has information we should know, but aren’t allowed to know unless you pay for it. Then why not write books to purchase?
I just read something yesterday that said they are now admitting at least half of the people who currently take statins don't need to. Make that 100% and it will be better!
My RN wife still believes in the cholesterol scam.
She lost her most beloved grandmother to heart disease right as she was beginning her nursing career, and was absolutely convinced the lack of a statins Rx was the cause.
My dad won’t either. So sad and frustrating. Must be worse having a husband like that. If docs would stop lying to patients and scaring them, our loved ones might listen to us.
Someone commented on one of my comments from MWD, that MWD is a woman and not a man. Either way, I don’t care, I love his or her thoughtful analysis of so much!!!
If, as many argue, the C19 jab is a military bioweapon then it makes absolutely no sense that he would have gotten it. He was showing many signs of cognitive impairment long before the jabs rolled out.
Oh my gosh! I was wondering about allergy shots! I stupidly had my oldest get allergy shots when he was little. I wanted him to be able to be around pets. Big head slap!!!
Oh the horrors of injections keeps getting worse!
I myself had to get Rhogam shots because of being O- and my kids being O+! And have since heard there is/was thimerasol in them!!! Lord, please have mercy on me and bless and heal my children.🙏🙏🙏
And I had a bout with anxiety for years after giving birth to my first child until I started seeing orthomolecular doctors in 2019. Now I’m thinking Perhaps the Rhogam shots caused my anxiety along with a tetanus shot at age 33.
With more stillbirths, they are also saving Medicaid dollars and food assistance dollars and rent assistance dollars, etc. It is so very sad to see the consequences of so many falling for the lie of ‘safe and effective.’
Thank you, Obsolete Man. There IS dementia-logic behind blurting, “We finally beat Medicare!” It fits Joe’s NWO blueprint like, “We have put together I think the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.”
"Biden shouting “We finally beat Medicare!” makes sense now. A whole lot of people will never need it."
Since it's more than likely that Medicare is being run by mafia style lobbyists who are busy draining another public coffer, it probably won't be there anyway for anyone still alive that might want it.
I have noticed that lefties get confused when, after tossing "Trump is a felon" into a conversation, I ask if they think felons should be allowed to vote. They claim to believe not letting felons vote is racist, so their mind seems to short-out when they try to put Trump into their felon equation. Leftist are an odd lot.
There was some well-known multi-part study that absolutely did analyze the brain between leftist / liberals versus conservatives. And, yeah, the results pretty much weren't good for the former.
IME, it's just being able to think of oneself as having agency, being self-responsible, and therefore capable of self-conducting root cause analysis and determining 2nd, 3rd order effects of actions.
Most conservatives can do this almost instinctually. It's something they seem to have been taught at an early age. I think it comes from having dealt more with the real world, physical things, manual labor, skilled trades, businesses, entrepreneurial endeavors, etc. Where actions have consequences and you learn by experience in real time.
Today's liberals operate by what makes them feel good/superior in the moment, which is driven by what they were told are the "correct" views to hold. They see themselves as good little boys and girls, following teacher's orders. It's a sort of programming that's hard to undo. Liberals therefore cannot do the root cause and effect analysis unless instructed by a teacher - and even then, they need to be brought to the "correct" conclusions. It's dangerous to them to do the analysis on their own b/c they might come to the "wrong" conclusions, like that terrible "right wing" stuff. I see this mentality at work all the time.
(As an aside, this is also the problem with all academic journals. It's why they never generate a new idea, get everything wrong, and are filled with groupthink, and ultimately, propaganda. Being able to understand root causes and effects allows for calculated risk taking and innovation. No risk, no innovation.)
E.g., modern liberals' views on immigration, where they think it makes them kind and compassionate if they advocate for an open border policy. They're not thinking through the root causes of WHY those people are coming here. It's factually incorrect to say they are seeking asylum; they are not. "Seeking a better life" is not a good enough reason. As we all know, we can't just pack up and declare ourselves citizens of some other country b/c we think we'll like it more.
Liberals don't think through even 1st order effects, like: they broke the law in being here; so, what does that say about their regard for this country? What does that mean for their own well-being as humans? What's the effect on communities, especially the poor ones where these criminals will now live and take resources from natural born poor citizens? Or 2nd order effects like: now we have millions of literal criminals spread across the country, we don't have room for them, we can't afford them, and they are changing the culture of many places, in some cases 100s of years of culture is being wiped out. Then there's the 3rd order effects of what does that mean for the future of the country? National security? Social cohesion? The economy? Productivity? Etc. Liberals do not think of any of these things. They just repeat the talking points they were given by teachers/mentors b/c those make them feel superior and give them the warm fuzzies. It's their identity, in a very real way.
Leftists, on the other hand, do think through these things. It's just that their logic is terrible and incorrect, so they come to the wrong conclusions. They are the people who utterly failed logic class. They tend to come to insanely wrong conclusions like "if some A are B, then all A are B." (A good example of this is the trans issue where they think: some people never outgrow their mental illness of dysmorphia, therefore we must treat all children who ever express even a hint of it to the maximum degree. It's just really bad, incorrect logic.) And then the entire chain of conclusions they come to rests upon that one core thing they got horribly wrong. They're dumb, but in a different way. However, b/c they "thought about it" they are 100% convinced they are correct and consider it a moral violation to disagree with their conclusion.
Unfortunately, academic leftists are often the source of academic liberals' ideas, which then become the dominant views of everyday liberals.
On a very related note, here's the description of a recent PragerU video:
"Tell the average American you’re a liberal, and they’ll assume you’re on the political left. Yet, leftists and liberals hold very different positions on key issues. In this video, Dennis Prager explains how the tenets of liberalism like a belief in capitalism and free speech have more in common with conservatism than with the identity politics and racial resentment preached by the left. "
Somewhere in the archives is an article with this theme: “Thirty percent of really liberal people have a history of mental illness.” I'm guessing the rest have not been diagnosed.
We all know that self-ownership, or thinking of oneself, is a problem for the collective work mob.
So, in regard to the long-lost forgotten study I mentioned above, if I had to take a stab at it from a psychology / metaphysical perspective, my TL;DR thinking on it is this:
It's 'as if' they came here as incarnated twisted little souls, whose sense of Self never developed, or popped back in a Space-Time continuum that requires common sense, self-responsibility, a quest for self-interest (i.e., to focus on results, first, for yourself), and a worldview that is managed bottom-up.
In short, their brain can't comprehend any form of self-improvement or "me focused" self-reflection and self-drive. That kind of "work" makes it to where they would no longer rely on their handlers, The Establishment, to tell them how to be, do, and act.
I ponder the why's of these liberal/leftist ideas a lot. I'm one of 4 children...we are all over 65 now. Our parents were conservative, especially my Air Force father. We are all 4 years apart in age and grew up together in an intact family, yet I am the only one of the 4 who is conservative. My brothers are uber liberal, borderline leftist, my sister is religiously conservative yet she detests Trump to the max based on his slander by various women. That's all she can look at, and none of his other policies. My younger brother enthusiastically supported Bernie Sanders, and I don't know who my other two siblings voted for. It's puzzling to me how we all turned out so different in our views. My sister told me yesterday that I am the analytical one of the family. Maybe that's it. I analyze, they don't.
The whole thing, CMCM, is perplexing.... to the core... without question. Sometimes I wonder if there's a "secret mass psychosis experiment" going on in this country. We, collectively, have certainly lost touch with its core principles.
I think being analytical, and eagerly analytical, indicates a curious mind. I think the best researchers, detectives and investigators are good because they’re curious and if somebody’s not curious I wonder if they are just wired differently.
My siblings and my own kids reflect varying degrees of trusting their parents and reacting against them. The most functional are introspective, quite self-critical, curious, and unlikely to ever see themselves as the smartest person in the room. Somehow, they can be all of that and still confident. I think the best results come from understanding 1) there is a God, and 2) it’s not me.
Can we please stop helping the insane left by referring to President Trump as a “convicted felon” in any context? The correct term is “justice-impacted individual.” Make them play by their own rules of language!
I like to tease them on Facebook by saying that "I am so scared of him now..because he might push me infront of a subway car, or sucker punch my child out of nowhere, or rob my house, or carjack me"!
Then I add that, "oops, I forgot, those were the real felons who were allowed out to walk the streets without bail and, at most, got away with having misdemeanors".
I've hit back a few times by referring to Biden as an "unconvicted felon." But I agree that we should not use felon in reference to Trump. We can joke about it and understand the joke, but sadly, the left takes everything literally and have no sense of humor. By us ever using the term convicted felon, that legitimizes it further in the leftist mind.
The problem with tossing grenades at the other side is that it blows up the insane true believers equally with the 'some level of reasonableness' folks. We are going to need some of those reasonable people if the goal is not civil war. I ditched a lot of friends/acquaintances in 2020 who landed in the insane camp, but still keeping loose ties with the reasonable ones in the hopes that they come to see the light, at least a little bit.
So much of it is just programming. It's what they've been taught. And trying to undo that is not an easy task. Giving up what their favorite teachers or mentors told them during the formative years of their lives would be synonymous with giving up their own identity. It would be a betrayal of those teachers/mentors. (I suspect it's the same for many of us here, we just had different/better teachers and mentors that we listened to.)
I was struck in a recent team meeting at work. Otherwise intelligent and kind people - really, decent people - had the stupidest ideas I could think of. Like "we should have open borders b/c I mean that's what's on the statue of liberty." Just insane, stupid stuff. They're just repeating what they were told, like a recording being played back.
I throw them off by saying that to equate illegal migrants with my grandparents who were legal immigrants who had to go through hoops to get here is an insult to them and all immigrants who came here and who are still trying to come here. legally from other countries. Infact it is a slap in their face!! And. it makes a mockery of those who came through Ellis Island.
Those genuine immigrants came here to assimilate, learn the English language & become Americans.
These illegal aliens aren’t here to assimilate - most make no effort to learn or speak English.
Many of those who aren’t already felons/criminals in their country of origin come here to take advantage of our capitalist society but never really care to Americanize; in fact I recall seeing radical La Raza activists desecrating our flag, even removing it & flying the Mexican one declaring it superior.
When my family came here generations ago, the authorities misspelled/changed our family name and no one really cared b/c the goal was to become American. Everyone who was able (the oldest people in the family struggled) learned English. The 1st generation born here didn't even have an accent. This doesn't seem to be what's happening today. It's more salad than melting pot. The people who came here legally with the intent to assimilate and be American are not impressed by the latest wave of illegals looking for quick money and/or victims.
The pity is that there are so many good Latino first and second and third generation legally entered, hardworking, Latino and Latino Americans who will be mistakenly lumped together and hated because of those illegal migrants.
100%, RU. The long march into our universities takes full advantage of youngsters drunk on new liberties, new ideas, and yet still in need of adult guidance. So, they become groupies of radical professors and radical ideas that never work in the real world, and then entrench themselves as “visionaries.”
AND Biden is a rapist of a woman too tell your friend. The woman was a young aide of his. Her name is Tara Reid and is living in Russia now out of fear!
I can't even imagine (nor do I want to) what kind of perversions run deep in these people, starting from Clintons. They are evil, morally bankrupt, Godless souls.
The more I see and sense, the more upstanding a human being Trump seems to me, despite his falling into temptation as a younger man.
I also admire his marriage much more, because it is real. Couples do not have to be holding hands every moment of EVERY day, like Nurse Ratchet and FJB.
Same thing with the Trump worshippers. No, absolutely NO accountability for any role he played in the covid plandemic! He didn't know. He was lied to....blah blah blah.
So, Johnny-O, who are you gonna vote for? The lifetime sucker off the taxpayers teat, serial grifter, incestuous pedophile, plagerer, serial sexual predator, 50 years of being on the wrong side of every international issue, dementia patient and traitor for hire (10% for the big guy) who killed small businesses across the country with his vaccine mandates, or the Orange man, or Bobby’s son?
Oh, and what kind of accountability do you all demand of the pedophile traitor? None, you make excuses, deny and enable him. You are despicable scum sucking fucking treasonous bastards.
Whoo hoo! Tell it like it is! I am so sick of these self-righteous, imbecilic TDS sufferers, who are so upset that President Trump is still above ground and walking free. They are no lovers of America and the American way.
I’m not sure what they are, other than obstacles to the truth.
I'm not voting for either scum bag. Have a great day.
How is that $8 trillion your idol added to the budget doing for us? This isn't binary. Both people can be criticized. So sad so many like you worship politicians, who are supposed to work for us.
You are such a hypocrite. Your start out with a deliberately provocative comment denigrating people as Trump worshipers. Your sole intent was to annoy people and stir up trouble. You could have made your point without being a buffoon.
Then people give your same crap back to you and you call them assholes.
Seriously get bent. You get back from people what you give to them. Your problem is that you're a jerk in real life and no ever gives it back to you. Well here we do.
I did not single anyone out, I said "Trump worshippers." If they aren't one then my comment didn't apply, but they responded like a two year old. And yes, there are plenty on this thread who can't stand a single ounce of criticism toward trump or they quickly devolve and call you a Biden lover and scum sucking fucking treasonous bastards. If you can't see the difference between my comment and the vitriolic response, then you too are part of the problem, and can also, in your own words, get bent.
You have zero introspection and cannot see what a hypocrite you are. And I agree with you that there are plenty of people that cannot see Trump's obviously flaws. But you started this by calling people names then got all offended when someone pushed back.
You've done this over and over on the boards, deliberately provoking people and trying to show off how smart you are. It isn't working, and you might want to consider that normal people don't enjoy arguing with a snot-nosed, know-it-all punk. There's a reason you've driven friends and family from your life.
Sincere props for admitting it. Only cult members could support a man responsible for 19 million dead and counting, on a Substack devoted to countering the Deathvax.
But you do you WS.
I'm not your enemy - I suspect we agree on almost everything. But the Trump Cult cannot stand factual criticism Dear Leader.
I don't think a lot of Trump supporters are 'idolizing' him as a person or politician. It is just that the Republican approach is far more sane than what has become of the democrats.
I am sorry, but I do not want my grandbaby thinking that transgenderism is a normal thing to think about in elementary school. for instance.
Oh, aren't you impressive, Johnny-0. Please reach down from your perch of infallibility and share your secret for remaining faultlessly brainwash-free. Seriously, dude. What makes you omniscient?
Remember, most people still believe in the life saving effect of vaccines. I am a boomer and it is something my mother believed too.
We grew up on this.
The ONLY reason my hubbie and I did not succumb was because of our experiences and rememberances of the disastrous 'quick to market' swine flu vaccine in the 1970s.
Oh I'm sorry, did I miss Trump publicly announcing that nobody should take the poison death shots? All you have are excuses and blind faith in someone who honestly wasn't even that impressive in a debate against a brain dead pedophile. But hey, Trump is buddies with Epstein too so maybe he and Joe have something in common.
So how long do stores have to get it off their shelves and out of their freezers? I wonder how empty the freezer section will be for that section of fake meat now? Stuff we didn’t even realize weren’t actually plant based fake meat, but lab grown fake meat. ???
I took SO many notes today! I had to write down some of my favorite Childer[s]isms "for posterity"!: that ''focus'' one got me good, I really did ''lol''!
Maybe after the big COVID VAXX CASE is over and the dust has settled (I know, I know, things can't be rushed, and good things come to those who wait, yada yada, then YAY!), we could see the column called "Coffee and Childers," in keeping with the "C&C" moniker?
Be Child[ers]-LIKE, Not Child[ers]-ISH! [insert good-natured-cheerful groan, lol] and enjoy your Coffee and Childers daily!
If we weren't so justifiably eager to read his work every morning first-thing-early, we could have seen his take on the difference between Constitutional, partial, official and non-official immunity today, but I am MORE THAN willing and eager to see what having a day to digest the 119 page SCOTUS ruling produces! (Tomorrow, come quickly?)
Of course, the Biden family mafioso's want him to stay in. They're all making a ton of monye on influence peddaling and bribes with the "Big Guy" in office.
How does anyone still believe that it was a mere “blunder” to let Biden debate, or that the media publishing that Biden relies on Hunter for advice was just reporting the facts? These are deliberate statements (of many, including Hur’s highly publicized statement that Biden was too old and feeble to prosecute) made to subtly build a case against Biden. They can’t come out and say the next president has already been chosen; they want Americans to think they’ve let Biden go on their own - they’ve made their own decisions. Being led by our noses by mainstream media as usual.
Yep. I used to subscribe to some women's fashion magazines but just couldn't stand all the politics and the features of these ugly but powerful Democrat women.
None of those things would even bother me, if it wasn't for what she's all about. She could be a hunchback in tattered clothes and I'd love her if she was an honest, compassionate person with moral and ethical courage and capacity.
Yep, she has all the confidence that these women's magazines claim women already have. In Jill's case, she obviously needs to be propped up as well as photoshopped.
barf. I cannot believe that. Cancel vogue (if we have any subscribers here). I dumped all liberal rags years ago. People keeps trying to bring me back. No way!
Good grief, she wears table cloths, draperary and couch covers! She arrived at Camp David this weekend in a couch cover. She, absolutely, has the worst taste in clothing I've ever seen. (Except a neighbor but that's another story)
Well you and I may see through it but the vast majority of Americans do not. If the NYT subtly implies that he has dementia (but he’s a good guy!!) and is taking counsel from Hunter, we must regrettably conclude we can’t vote for him, etc. It’s a set-up and has been for his entire term.
Agree, but I know many who think he’s a selfless angel of service, and think Trump is a ruthless felon. Hard to believe anyone can not see facts but these idiots are out there by the thousands.
So, I think we need to be watching who they install as the VP running mate for biden. I think if they have to try to push him through, CamelToe won’t be the running mate. I think we see a change in that position. Whoever it is - Newscum or whoever…. that is who they will install. If they can install biden and ?? right after the selection in November that’s when they’ll have Joe resign, 25th him or just have him “accidentally die” and voila! We have an unelected (but selected) new four years of destroying America.
We gotta think like criminals to try and figure out what they’re doing. We’re always late to the game since we aren’t criminals. The memo went out with the “debate” for the corrupt media to “suddenly realize” biden has Alzheimer’s. 🙄 Everything is being put into place.
Sundance had a really intresting article about (of all things) Jill's wedding set. After holding hands w/ Joe, it's handed off to a "handler". More than that, but interesting none the less.
I read that article, and concluded that Kleinkader Jill is afraid the ring will get squished, as the thousands of Biden fans shake her hand at the massive rallies that greet Joe and Jill wherever they land.
Another brilliant, inspiring, insightful and humorous article. This is one of the best yet! I’m continually amazed at your writing and communication skills.
Thank you so much for making C&C free and available to all! As a senior on a fixed income, I especially appreciate your thoughtfulness, generosity and kindness.
I addressed the “correlation is not causation” bugaboo in “Letter to a Holocaust Denier” in 2021:
“Let’s address the matter of correlation and causation since ‘correlation does not equal causation’ is one of the regularly regurgitated bullet points from the VAERS disinformation campaign.
“The American Council on Science & Health notes: ‘It is oft-repeated that correlation does not imply causation. But it does. That’s precisely why epidemiologists and economists are so fascinated by correlations. Thus, it is far more accurate to say that correlation does not prove causation.’
“That is where Hill’s Criteria of Causality comes in. It can be used to assess causation in cases of statistically anomalous correlations—like the colossal ones that started occurring in January 2021 and have been rising at historically unprecedented rates ever since.’”
See original for associated links if you want to keep these in your pocket to counter the correlation-is-not-causation mockingbirds:
The "correlation does not equal causation" saying makes sense when cause and effect cannot be ascertained. Michael Crichton called it the "wet streets cause rain" phenomena, it happens all the time. So maybe people dying suddenly is causing them to go get vaxxed? No.
The other reason for the saying is to be wary of possible confounders such as unhealthy people on death's door being more likely to get the vax. But as Jeff Childers pointed out, the study controlled for just about everything and the correlation was still there. Maybe they missed something but it seems unlikely.
The wise saying of "correlation does not equal causation" used to mean use caution in drawing conclusions. Now it means you must ignore everything your senses, common sense, and life experience tells you, and only trust official pronouncements. It's the perfect midwit saying of someone who thinks they are smart but actually just mouthing platitudes.
Just a note to state that really correlation does not prove causation... until it's been "peer reviewed", published, referenced in other papers and accepted as scientific dogma regardless of validity... So correlation does in fact prove causation if it's favored Science™...
Peer review is no guarantee of reliability. Early skeptic of the Covid narrative, Prof. John Ioannidis, has long been a critic, pointing out the huge fraction of published papers with 'irreproducible results'. James Corbett has a good article on use of AI nowadays to produce 'papers' which fool reviewers: https://corbettreport.substack.com/p/trust-the-computer-generated-gobbledygook
All "peer-reviewed" means is that the published paper has passed conformity to the established scientific paradigm for that subject. IE, nothing new. I would also point out that science is mostly theory, very little of which is proven. Science is the process of postulating a theory to explain observed phenomenon until a new observation comes along that demonstrates that the theory is incorrect or incomplete leading to a new theory. But people being people, scientists are loath to recognize that the established paradigm no longer holds water.
That's why the leading Medical Journal in the world threw 175 of them in the bin 2 weeks ago, the peer reviewed papers were either flat out lies or plagerized. (John Hopkins, I think)
To Jeff Childers point, only the dumb ones (like Scholz) stuck their neck out. They all know Biden is a mess, but the smart ones dodged the question when asked about it. Same thing here in the US, only a fool would have claimed Biden is mentally sharp leading up to the debate (like Joe Scarborough did). He staked his credibility on Biden not screwing up, talk about stupid.
The world is filled with liars, but smart ones aren't that common.
This sentence was worthy of the great Douglas Adams: "The scientists have a fun shell game they like to play with studies, which allows them to deny the most obvious things, like where the Sun rises in the morning, or the fact that LED light bulbs do not, in fact, last ten years, but often commit electronic Hari-Kari within hours of being switched on the first time, because they are even more depressed to discover their own existence than we were." BRAVO
I have another government scam to discuss which I became painfully aware of this morning when I downloaded my statement from the Social Security Administration. I have been paying into Social Security for about 50 years. I started taking the "benefit" two years ago. Based on the statement, it will take me at least 8 years to recover what I put in. And, since I'm still working, I'm still paying in. So it could be that I will never receive in "benefits" the amount that I paid in.
Also, those dollars I paid in way back when are worth much more than today's dollars. Lastly, I am taxed on the "benefit".
You paid in on pretax dollars which is the IRS justification for taxing social security. However, you will only be taxed if your income is over a threshold amount. Therefore, some people are taxed and some are not. Here are a few more facts: If you could have invested the money paid in over the years you would be better off financially. The money paid into Social Security is not invested and earning income like a pension fund or a 401k. Also, your heirs will not get any benefits at your passing. For instance, a married couple both pay into social security but one passes away. The surviving spouse collects the higher of the two benefits but will not collect both. It is not set up for you to collect all that you paid in. Many never collect. Someone who passed away before the age they would have collected will obviously not collect what they paid in. Those paying in now are actually paying those who are collecting now. It is somewhat of a Ponzi scheme. Sometime in the future we as a country have to exit the social security train. Unfortunately it is not a good campaign slogan for people running for office and if they said such a thing they would not be elected. I've wondered how to exit and be fair to all. The only thing I could come up with is everyone stops paying in now and funds are diverted from some other federal program to pay those who have paid in over the years. Gradually over the years all those who paid into social security will pass away and social security would be "paid off".
Many corporations have stopped pensions by not allowing any new employees after a certain date to get it. NC did this for teachers, too. I honestly never planned to get SS, thought it'd be gone already.
How about considering the govt takes 50% of a married couples social security if one dies. Two people pay for a working lifetime, one passes and the government allows you to pick “one” of the social security benefits. What happens to that surplus?
It is crazy, imagine if you could have invested the money along the way! 😔 That said, social security is withdrawn pretax so that may be why it’s taxed when the benefit is paid
A close friend of mine's dad built his house (LA bayou 4bd/3ba) in the 70's whenever he had $ available. When it was done, he had no mortgage, no obligation to buy insurance. He didn't. Took the $ he would have paid in insurance and invested it. When he retired (was an oil rig boat Capn) he was a mutimillionaire. I loved him like a second Dad, he was so wise.
That’s beautiful. I’m going to be posting a stack this week for the first time in almost 3 years. This comment was a ‘sign’ for me to do it so thank you
Good morning comrades. May the Supreme Court continue to rule wisely to return power back to the people, away from the deep state. Hope we can celebrate America’s 248th birthday with gusto as we subvert the subversion.
I no longer trust the SCOTUS. This would seem a very slippery slope. This one requires massive prayer. Will the Supremes follow the Constitution?
🙏
''Humanity is about to be tested....... mayankjeptha.substack.com/p/qbpe
The corruption runs too deep at this point - hope is not a strategy we can afford to take at this moment in time.
But HOPE is the needed balast! It's not all we have...but we won't stay upright without it.
Leading us is "intent" and "determination."
Keeping us moving ahead is "mindfulness" of who we were as a nation... and who we want to be again!
But HOPE is crucial.
DJT is not crucial
No HUMAN is crucial!
But DJT is our best chance at this stage of the game to regain what was lost since 2020.
So deep, it goes all the way to China.
Just this morning it occurred to me that I could not have imagined the Court ruling against free speech / for govt. censorship by proxy in Missouri v. Biden (or whatever it's now called.)
Similarly, I cannot imagine the Court ruling against Presidential immunity.
Gives me chills to think about that confluence of my own lack of imagination. Maybe it does you, too.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/07/breaking-supreme-court-issues-ruling-presidential-immunity-court/
Never been so happy to be wrong.
As I recall in Mo v Biden, the court simply ruled that Mo didn’t have specific standing to sue and sent it back down. But I have been wrong before.
Alex Berenson has standing. And he is getting closer and closer to the Supreme Court.
No, you're correct David, that they rejected it on standing which is the all-purpose excuse and the Supremes equivalent of "the check is in the mail."
Me and some aware friends were saying this re dangers of the bioweapons that we never trusted as a legitimate vaxx -if there was ever such thing!-. "For the first time in my life I hope I am wrong!"
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for the link! The entire ruling is linked in the article. Down goes the case to Judge Chutkan again. BOUNCE! Let's see how far that bouncing up and down lasts. Pretty good odds, it wouldn't be over before November, or even next January.
AND now, Trump has, through his challenges, courage, choices and actions, forced another ''precedential'' ruling which can be used (once it's fleshed out in the courts as to what is core, official and unofficial immunity) to address and adjudicate the actions of any other current or future FPOTUS ("Former President of the United States," as they like to call Trump).
Youre comment made me realize that PDJT has done for this country in the last three years what he may not have been able to do with a consecutive 2nd term
AND ultimately, it's what GOD has done through PDJT and these circumstances, in my view.
Some believe he planned it that way, or his higher power did!
And and and: is bribery an official or an unofficial act? How about being the leader of a RICO situation? Here's looking at you Robert Peters.
The ruling pretty clearly stated that bribery is "unofficial" and can be prosecuted. (With some dissent over what the limits are on evidence that can be used in the prosecution as to official acts done in exchange for the bribe.)
Yes, official vs unofficial is the sticky wicket. How Chutkan parses the two will indeed force a ruling for the ages. This is far from over.
The lower courts will still have the say so on what constitutes "official acts" - but that leaves the door open to examine what the current pr*ck and his minions have been doing while in office once they've been shown the door.
And if they parse badly, it will be appealed, each aspect at a time, in all likelihood. It could take a while...
Thank God!!!
Thomas' concurring opinion is also interesting; he spends a while talking about how the Special Counsel appears to not be a valid office created by Congress, and therefore the entire prosecution may be null and void. Seems like there's a good chance this will be one of the next objections to be appealed if the lower courts continue to allow the prosecution.
Thank you for sharing. I couldnt wait all day to hear from Jeff. Thanks again.
though I will want to read his opinion on this
they didn't rule against it - just punted till later
It's a more nuanced ruling than what you are suggesting. They definitely made distinctions about absolute v. presumptive immunity and separating "official acts" from "unofficial acts." It is those questions that have to be evaluated by the lower courts. SCOTUS definitely seemed peeved to have had to review this case at all saying the lower courts didn't do their job correctly. Take that for what it's worth.
right the actual decision was much better than I expected
besides, when has this administration (that keeps claiming that another term for Trump will spell then end of democracy here) do what the law requires, or even what the Supreme Court decides?
Sorry all, I thought William's comment was referring to the immunity ruling but Willing might be right and that he is talking about the Missouri v. Murthy/Biden ruling.
I think you’re talking about the Free Speech ruling?
N*gga, PLEASE!
Lol.
But it's my understanding, from Jeff Childers, that the Court did NOT so rule ~ that what the Court DID rule was that the plaintiffs before it in the instant case lacked the requisite STANDING to present that issue to the Court for adjudication ... ?? The point being: NO ruling on the merits of the case has been handed down.
But they so very obviously had standing and damages. Alito in his dissent tore the majority a new one.
They definitely punted, too cowardly to make too many rulings against the D power brokers in one session.
Right, the very fact of ruling that they "lack standing" means that there's a precedent that you can't sue over "one-step-removed" censorship due to lack of standing. Although, it would be quite possible that in future in a less politically-heated climate, SCOTUS might "differentiate" other cases sufficiently as to make this precedent effectively inapplicable to any other case in future.
(Example: "well, the problem was that this case had SO much evidence and the plaintiffs just didn't quite point clearly enough at SPECIFIC acts by the government, but that was highly unusual, and all these other cases have slightly less broad swath of evidence / the plaintiffs were slightly more specific in their claims, therefore they DO have standing")
(Edit: yes it's still a weasel move, but I can't entirely blame the majority for misplacing their dangly bits in the face of loud and repeated calls to pack the court or otherwise neuter SCOTUS' power.)
EXACTLY
Best commentary so far!! Thank you 😊
I think the lefties on the Court might be justly worried about the consequences to Biden of a decision that goes too far on allowing prosecution/persecution of Presidents, esp. given recent polling (the debate came sadly too late to be likely to have changed a vote, or even the content of an opinion) and President Trump's use of the word 'retribution.'
Absolutely. The TV pundits are calling this a major victory for Trump. Well, given everything Biden has done, I think it's an even bigger victory for him!
It could be viewed that way. But that’s a dangerous road to go down. I think this is a necessary major victory for the nation. And the ruling should never have been required.
Presidential crimes need to be dealt with through impeachment. That’s the provided methodology.
Our Checks and Balances need serious reform and repair. And the intelligence agencies need to be dissolved.
How about AOC wanting to impeach the SCOTUS justices because she thinks they are a “threat to democracy!” Lmao
Calling it now: if republicans have balls, the next SCOTUS challenge will be over whether they can impeach Biden post-term so as to render him liable to prosecution.
Oh, wait... never mind.
especially now that the Supremes have decided that Presidential official acts cannot open him to prosecution
Not necessarily - he too is immune for any "official acts", but at least in theory open to bribery prosecution, or anything else that can be argued to be "unofficial".
It does mean that Biden can't be criminally charged for "conspiracy to undermine the government" or something, on the basis of making terrible policy decisions.
I have a high opinion of the current court. We do not need a right leaning court and heaven knows we do not need a left leaning court. We need one that strictly interprets the law of the CONSTITUTION. We desperately need a CONSTITUTIONAL COURT. Given the wavey pattern of the decisions coming out this session, I think these nine (of a majority of the nine) are doing their best to stay to the constitution. I don’t “trust” them, they are humans and clearly have the capacity to make mistakes but I have hope their decisions will be well reasoned and not activist in nature as we’ve seen in the past
They truly seem to be 3-3-3. The middle 3 have been swing voters on many surprising issues. And 2 of them are Trump appointees! (Commie Barrett, Beer Kavanaugh, and then Pretty Boy Roberts)
And then there’s the idiot who said she thinks the 1A may get in the way of government doing what it wants.....

Too late now. The copies are printed. It may be our favor. I’m thinking not. Sadly. I do pray I’m wrong.

They did!
🙏
Maybe they are being threatened ?
Whatever happens - we need to remember that Trump signed the Secure 5G Act, and put us all on Warpspeed to metal toxicity.
This is a real problem that we need to focus on more! 5G WILL lead us to Metal Toxicity affecting all of us! Thanks for this Roman!
The only person who has spoken against this and was trying to do something as we focused on our covid lockdown at the time, was RFKJR.
I'm hearing RFK is changing his postion now - so sad to see this as he was a hero in my eyes earlier on but is now changing:
https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/the-rfk-phenomenon-a-triad-of-choices
https://jonrappoport.substack.com/p/how-great-a-force-could-anti-vaxers-be
any one that believes that CO2, which is necessary to sustain life, is a pollutant, is no hero
100% agree…RKJ is a democrat on every other topic others than vaccines and even week sauce in that topic these days!
Exactly right! Believing that CO2 is evil is anti-human: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/why-climate-change-is-wrong-dangerous
unfortunately Kennedy is changing with the wind, just like trump was and is. I am writing in someone, because I do not trust either of the 3. Formerly 2 parties were not enough to fool the people (Bob Hope) now we will have a third one. And remember, European countries might have 5, 6 or more parties and they are mostly doing the same. Russian and Hungarian are above my learning capacity. Sadly enough.
Ingrid, I was an observer for a recount in 2018 (when DeSantis narrowly won). I learned a lot, and one thing I learned was that ballots cast for anyone who is not a qualified candidate (filed and either paid the filing fees or got a sufficient number of petitions and filed the required financial reports), such as many write-ins, are not counted, but each one must be adjudicated by the Election Board, wasting the time of those officials, the elections staff, and the observers.
I haven’t seen Trump change with the wind. If you go back and listen to him in interviews from several decades ago, I believe you’ll see he’s been amazingly consistent throughout.
But, then again…Orange Man bad
I'm voting RFK, but his inability to keep his positions is deeply unsettling. Wouldn't be surprised if I don't vote at all and never vote again.
Franklin - thank you for the link to Rappoport's Substack. He is brilliant. Unfortunately, it is behind a paywall, even the comments. But his opening that I could read is alone telling.
RFK is quite the chameleon. Genetically politician.
Look into grounding/earthing. Earthing.com
Earthinginstitute.net
Erm, 5G doesn't cause metal toxicity, those are two different things (though one could validly be concerned about both).
Metal toxicity is caused by ingesting or injecting heavy metals (but thankfully, not by *listening* to heavy metal XD), whereas the concern with 5G is the level of electromagnetic radiation exposure.
Yep, I just commented how I would love to see studies on illness and death as it relates to 5G....
It is mobile phones and not the towers that cause health problems, Swedish researchers concluded
https://expose-news.com/2024/06/28/mobile-phones-cause-health-problems/
Good point. Unless you are right next to a cell tower, you are much more likely to receive more cumulative RF radiation from your cell phone than a tower. The reason for this is RF power density drops as the *square* of the distance from the source. The power from that cell tower drops fast.
It's why I always tell people to set their phone to wi-fi calling/data whenever possible. The phone uses something called adaptive power control and only put out the power needed to close the link. Since the wifi router is much closer than a typical cell tower, your phone will put out at least 100x lower power, even as much as 10,000x lower depending on how far away the cell tower is. Also, don't live or work next to a cell tower. (I'm an RF systems engineer by profession.)
Do you have any specifics in terms of distance and power drop from the cell tower? How close is too close?
Unfortunately that's difficult to answer as there are so many variables. For example, if you are at an elevated location (say in a high rise apartment) with the antenna across the street *and pointed right at you* that's really not good. Cell tower antennas are directive so the energy is focused in a particular direction.
If though, you are relatively close to a tower yet you are at ground level, the signal is actually pretty low as the antenna is designed to not radiate power downward but outward. Also, if there is stuff between the tower and you (like a building) it will also reduce exposure.
Bottom line though is we don't really know what's actually safe, and the current standards were developed in the 1960's and don't account for everything we've learned since then. I personally think they allow far more exposure than I'd like to accumulate, which is why I take steps to reduce it.
Can you clarify “to set their phone to wi-fi calling/data whenever possible”?
So are you saying we should turn our wi-fi ON on our cell phones? I keep hearing we should turn wi-fi OFF to reduce EMF.
Phones can connect to the network using either your wireless plan (e.g. Verizon) or your local wifi router that you have in your home or office. The difference is that the wireless plan requires that you connect to a cell tower than can be up to a mile away with lots of stuff between you and it blocking the signal. Your cell phone can tell this as it gets a signal status from the cell tower. So your phone keeps cranking up the power (the strength of the signal it's transmitting) until it gets a message that the tower is receiving it adequately. This is really oversimplified but it's the basis of what's called adaptive power control.
Your wifi router on the other hand is likely no more than fifty feet away. As I mentioned above, the signal drops as the square of the distance. So in the example of the cell tower a mile away (5280 feet) versus the wifi router 50 feet away, the equation is 5280^2/50^2 = 11,151. That means your cell phone has to put out eleven thousand times more power to connect to that cell tower than the wifi router!! This will vary depending on how far away the cell tower is, but by routinely using wifi data/calling you will reduce exposure.
As with any poison, harm is determined by the duration of exposure and the *magnitude* of the exposure. Using wifi dramatically reduces the magnitude.

He is beholden to Israel, has backtracked on abortion AND illegal border crossings...there are many, many more, as you probably know. Voting for the lesser of 2 evils is still evil, in my book. Makes me pray that much more.
I agree Erin - no one is coming to save us, but us.
Orange Man bad.
One more time…we don’t see President Trump as a savior. We see him as a massive weapon to pit against the evil and help us mightily as we ‘save ourselves’.
Of course we must pray... Without ceasing. But we also have a responsibility to vote. And to vote for the person who aligns closest to Scripture. No one person is ever going to be able to "save" our country. Our country has been gifted to us by God and it is our responsibility to take care of it until He returns! If the majority of Christians would get out and vote instead of sitting out an election because the persons running have flaws, we would not be in the position we are today!
Militarized Cognitive Warfare: Human Brains Under Attack In Post Covid Era And Natural Treatment Ways To Resist And Reverse Cognitive Deficits
Cognitive warfare is a well known and growing field of militarized interest. I have posted about the topic before. This article is to review the military documents regarding this mode of warfare. I am proposing that cognitive warfare has been deployed upon the global human population and it is misleadingly called brainfog, cognitive decline after C19 bioweapon injection. I propose that this is an intentional modification of the human brain via self assembly nanotechnology neuromodulation done by Graphene and other semiconducting metals Quantum Dots and invasive synthetic biology...
Summary:
It is evident that militarized neurocognitive warfare via the C19 bioweapon and weapon of mass destruction, spread through the population via shedding and and geoengineering warfare operations are having a detrimental effect on humanities cognitive function, hence reducing the ability of the masses to comprehend and react to the current multilevel depopulation warfare waged. Numerous easy and cheap protective natural molecules exist, as outlined here, that can help mitigate and reverse this attack while we as humanity fight for our freedom, health and the survival of our species.

Pilots Testify Bill Gates Is Carpet Bombing Cities With Chemtrails - The People's Voice Report And Correlations To COVID Bioweapons Of Mass Destruction
...Those people waiting for military tribunals should consider that we need to prosecute our military for poisoning us with COVID bioweapons and with the geoengineering chemicals. We the people need to free ourselves from the corrupt military industrial complex that Eisenhower warned us against - of which the allopathic healthcare system is a part of...
...The main thing people need to understand is that the geoengineering chemicals to dim the sun and the COVID19 shots are depopulation weapons. Remember the expert Dr. Francis Boyle declared them weapons of mass destruction...
....When we call a demon by its real name, we own it. The people who have done this to humanity are real demons, and they serve pure evil. Every human being must take a stand and declare what side they are on. It does not matter what individuals loose by coming clean in their soul. It matters that our species survives...

In May 2024, Tennessee enacted legislation banning geoEngineering in their state. The bill is a template for other States to use. I am doggedly after Texas elected officials (in my district) to write a bill banning geoEngineering/chemttrails in Texas. I hold hope that the two elected representatives want to be part of the solution to help Texans. If they do not follow through, I will consider them compromised turncoats-on-the-take. GeoEngineering/chemtrails/weather manipulation has caused property damages, electrical grid problems, deaths and economical harm in Texas and other States in this great United States of America. If you’re so inclined, please contact your State representatives regarding legislation to ban geoEngineering in your State.
Your setting the perfect example of what needs to be done.
All this is overwhelming! How do we even have a chance?
I already take compounded supplements prescribed from orthomolecular doctors. Then started seeing a NP doctor in Feb. to help with a sinus issue that wouldn’t resolve. Also seeing her for arm and shoulder pain that began July 2023 and hair loss/thinning which began 2021. And hormone balancing & food sensitivities. My prescribed protocols, physical therapy, Pilates classes are already a lot and take up a lot of my time. How can we possibly add in ALL these other recommendations???
I've had the same questions. My answer, one thing at a time. We are in a literal war and war is always overwhelming.
just like the non vaccines vaccine a decision was made before all the relevant facts were known
Orange man bad.
Are you disappointed that he’s still alive and not in prison?
my expectation is that they will 'split the baby" so the Trump trials can continue - and I'm guessing that NBC doesn't really know what the letters NAZI stand for, but if they bothered to look it up nowhere would they find far right
My question or things I’m pondering. With Presidential immunity doesn't that mean that Obummer, Clinton, Bush, and Biden cannot be prosecuted for their many ACTUAL crimes now? I’m not saying the ruling wasn’t right, but we’ve been listening to conservatives talk about how the D’s have now opened the door to prosecute those criminals. I think all of those former selected Residents are celebrating today, and probably cleaning up their pooped pants that they were on the chopping block next.
So the question becomes what is “official” and “unofficial”? And would Trump coming back in go after them for murder, treason etc etc because those acts would surely be considered “unofficial” and open to be prosecuted for?
I'd surely like to know when the "people" ever had full power over the government? When has the government ever run scared of what the people might do to it?
Presidential Immunity is Trump's, AND OURS, further protecting the USA from the unhinged but highly destructive lawfare of the lunatics who call themselves Democrats - and their enablers in the deep state and global marxists. We could probably not get a bigger birthday present for the country than the overturning of Chevron and finding Trump has immunity, as we all knew was the case, except in the minds of those who manipulated our 2020 and 2022 elections to seize power in the - ongoing - attempt to destroy the country. I'm thanking God for the 3 Trump SCOTUS Justices. I'm not wild about Commie-Barrett but maybe she will stop being cowardly/grey scale and get way more focused on imposing the Constitution.
The excess deaths are not looking good.
Biden shouting “We finally beat Medicare!” makes sense now. A whole lot of people will never need it.
The “unexpected” deaths are mounting around here, especially in the 50 to 70 age range with no prior problems. Unexpected has suddenly become the “new” word.
I see it every day I go to work, as I work as a nurse in a surgical ICU…younger and younger patients with so many complications of poor health. Sadly, it isn’t just jab related, as so many of our fellow citizens have lived lives of very little discipline: poor diets, poor exercise habits, smoking/vaping, alcohol, drugs, sugar, sugar, and more sugar, then add in poor sleep, poor work ethics, poor faith choices, and their bodies and minds have been and are being overwhelmed and destroyed. Jab damage is icing on top of poorly lived lives.
Yes Carol it’s other health maladies as well way before Convid
My adult kids all suffer from so many issues now it astounds me!
They were raised out in the country (redwoods and oak tree forests)
I made all meals from scratch…..fresh air…..hiking biking…..not much tv….crafts and on and on
In their twenties they had to run to Los Angeles.
Concrete jungle and lots of crappy crappy food to indulge in.
Then it was on with the ailments.
Always wondering if they will return to some of the foundation I set up.
I ask sometimes and now they shrug likes it’s all very odd
And yes they partook in the jab fest…… so again lots of health issues now….
And of course…no one wants to hear from me….. “what’s mom know about the science”
🤦🏼♀️
Just curious if your children got the recommended childhood jabs. My 3 did as I had no idea how horrific they were. My children didn’t grow up in the wonderful atmosphere as yours, but I believe these dozens and dozens of jabs have a lot to do with their ailments. My oldest son has allergies to animals, asthma when exposed to animals, ADHD, anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, & I believe on the A spectrum. My other son is diagnosed with bipolar 1, has sever dandruff issues. My daughter has cat allergies, asthma when exposed to cats, holds her left hand in a fist a lot of times which started at age 5, has severe dandruff issues, & excessive sweating. All 3 had bad acne as teens. Besides excess injections I’m sure environmental toxins are a big contributor also. My kids don’t want to hear from me either even though they know I have looked into health issues for many years.
Exactly, Carol. It's not for nuthin' that a huge proportion of American youth cannot qualify for military service, and that's not new, though I think it's been a growing proportion.
It’s been growing since pHarma was given free rein by Congress in 1986. How many Boomers remember a lot of classmates being unable to eat bread or fruit? How many Boomers remember the majority of classmates being diagnosed with ADD/ADHD/ODD/PANS/PANDAS/asthma/diabetes etc.? It’s been a “long game”. A population can’t fight when the majority of the population is damaged/injured.
I’m not even a Boomer and I can’t remember those things! No children in my school had those issues!
Good comment, Carol, it’s encouraging to hear of a nurse who actually KNOWS something about the root causes of poor health. Most of the nurses I see have been indulging in far too much of that sugar, sugar, and more sugar. It’s sad to me that people who should be educated in all aspects of health are such poor examples of it.
The perfect acronym for our Standard American Diet, SAD says a lot about the state of our citizens health in general. Doctors have become not much more than drug pushers.
reading through obituaries lately lots of deaths are younger than me - almost 67. Lots of cancers, lots of sudden deaths, lots of short illnesses. Lots of ALS, Alzheimer, and all kinds of sicknesses I have to look up, never heard of.
Same here. It’s sad.
What is even sadder, is the piece the New York Times wrote in today's paper about how the very young three and four year olds have suffered during the lockdown mask up no playing. It's a terrible terribly sad story and one can't help but think that all those responsible should be held responsible and maybe jailed.
so sad what happened to lots of children. Rural GA here, our school only closed a few weeks, never seen a mask, and they added 2 weeks to the end of the school year. I think our kids are still okay. Next town over they masked for months. One store insisted all unjabbed must wear masks. Needless to say I found another store.
My church, when the state finally allowed it to open, wanted the unvaxxed to wear a mask on the "honor system" and sit in a section away from everyone else.. Guess what? I didn't take the jab, and sat in the place I usually sat. Screw them!! I was so much better off for not being jabbed!
I could have gone in too, they probably did not check. But the fact that they discriminate along health decisions was enough for me. Now I discriminate because they did LOL. They lost a customer and the other store turns out to be much better.
You're so right. My MIL is in the hospital and struggling again and the doc was really asking a lot about her vax's (don't get my started, I'll cry - she's had 5). He said they've seen an "explosion" (his word) of auto immune disorders in the elderly (60, 70, 80) and they're linking it to the shots. Amazing to hear a doc say that outright. So sad.
That shows he’s one of the few wise doctors.
He’s pretty slow to come to this information. Thanks to Dr. Sherri Tennpenny, I knew this before the jabs came to market. She protected my family from getting the jabs,
Holy cow! I wish my friend Elaine had that doctor. She's had several heart procedures since 2020, and a bushel basket of new pills. But the vaxxes have saved her!!
Red! This was in Myrtle Beach SC. It is a town where Trump flags fly proudly. Maybe people feel safe here speaking the truth? I just felt so comforted when he said that. He wasn't brushing her off...he said he wanted to run several tests and really get to the bottom of what is causing her breathing problem.
Micro clots.
Her doc needs to contact Dr. Jordan Vaughn in Birmingham, AL. He’s done yoeman’s work helping covid-injured as well as cv19shot-injured patients. So many in the last 2+ yrs. that he doesn’t take any new patients other than these unfortunates.
My daughter is shot-free, but a mild case of covid affected her lungs w/ micro clots. Dr. V successfully treated her! He’s the real deal.
yes! The doc was asking if she had covid or had taken the shots because he said both could cause this. Interesting, huh? I will look into this doc. Thank you!
My sister has asthma and a list of comorbidities. She took the shots against advisement of her doctor.
Just last week, she complained again that the medical community cannot figure out why her breathing has gotten so bad (don’t get me started on the fact that most doctors can’t find their own ass, it seems).
And like always, she brushed off my suggestion to get checked for micro clots…
There’s also this; friend has it and blames her low pO2 on being a “shallow breather.”
Vaccine-induced interstitial lung disease: a rare reaction to COVID-19 vaccine: https:// pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ 34510014/.
So very sorry that your MIL and the family are having to deal with all this. I will place y'all on my prayer list and will be including her in my prayers. God bless you sweetie
If Biden got the jab, then he was beat at his own game!!
On A Midwest Doctor substack, that possibility is discussed. It is a good read:
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/is-joe-bidens-brain-vaccine-injured
Midwestern Doc is worth every read. Subscribed to his sub times ago.
That stack yesterday has given my husband pause concerning the statin lies. I can be grateful to MWD if my hubby makes changes.
The Great Cholesterol Scam and The Dangers of Statins
Exploring the Actual Causes and Treatments of Heart Disease
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/the-great-cholesterol-scam-and-the
Has anyone figured out who this doc is? Why can’t we know who he is? I hesitate on being a paid subscriber. I would like to know whose work I’m contributing to. And I’m a bit irked that he has information we should know, but aren’t allowed to know unless you pay for it. Then why not write books to purchase?
Have your husband read "The Clot Thickens" by Dr. Malcolm Kendrick. After finishing it, I said to my husband, "you will never go on statins."
thanks I was just looking into buying that book
hope he does. usually men are like that LOL. that is why I have a dog.
And a fish with a bicycle?
I just read something yesterday that said they are now admitting at least half of the people who currently take statins don't need to. Make that 100% and it will be better!
I'm guessing what you read was about this new calculator the American Heart Association designed.
https://professional.heart.org/en/guidelines-and-statements/prevent-calculator
It puts my "risk of cardiovascular death" quite a bit lower (as in not a risk) than whatever my pesky doc uses when he pushes me to take statins.
He won’t listen to me about it.
My RN wife still believes in the cholesterol scam.
She lost her most beloved grandmother to heart disease right as she was beginning her nursing career, and was absolutely convinced the lack of a statins Rx was the cause.
My dad won’t either. So sad and frustrating. Must be worse having a husband like that. If docs would stop lying to patients and scaring them, our loved ones might listen to us.
Someone commented on one of my comments from MWD, that MWD is a woman and not a man. Either way, I don’t care, I love his or her thoughtful analysis of so much!!!
It's an ongoing debate :)
I thought it was a man. I don't know many women who wear a tie
Anymore of that ACME dynamite around?
If, as many argue, the C19 jab is a military bioweapon then it makes absolutely no sense that he would have gotten it. He was showing many signs of cognitive impairment long before the jabs rolled out.
And tinnitus,dammit!
Most deodorants/antiperspirants do too.
As do allergy shots
Oh my gosh! I was wondering about allergy shots! I stupidly had my oldest get allergy shots when he was little. I wanted him to be able to be around pets. Big head slap!!!
Oh the horrors of injections keeps getting worse!
I myself had to get Rhogam shots because of being O- and my kids being O+! And have since heard there is/was thimerasol in them!!! Lord, please have mercy on me and bless and heal my children.🙏🙏🙏
And I had a bout with anxiety for years after giving birth to my first child until I started seeing orthomolecular doctors in 2019. Now I’m thinking Perhaps the Rhogam shots caused my anxiety along with a tetanus shot at age 33.
Well, he may have imagined that it was his game...
Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS)
With more stillbirths, they are also saving Medicaid dollars and food assistance dollars and rent assistance dollars, etc. It is so very sad to see the consequences of so many falling for the lie of ‘safe and effective.’
Good one!...maybe Biden is really "Wiley Coyote" and we all just missed it?
Maybe it’s Hunter since he’s the smartest man Biden knows 😑 And Wile E Coyote always refers to himself as a “genius.”
Thank you, Obsolete Man. There IS dementia-logic behind blurting, “We finally beat Medicare!” It fits Joe’s NWO blueprint like, “We have put together I think the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.”
That was my interpretation of his remark the other evening. He let it slip.
That’s one of the vaccines purpose. Plus the ventilator
Your last sentence is spot-on. LMAO...in a laugh or cry kind of way.
He was told to say that by Obummer
Oof, good one
"Biden shouting “We finally beat Medicare!” makes sense now. A whole lot of people will never need it."
Since it's more than likely that Medicare is being run by mafia style lobbyists who are busy draining another public coffer, it probably won't be there anyway for anyone still alive that might want it.
I have noticed that lefties get confused when, after tossing "Trump is a felon" into a conversation, I ask if they think felons should be allowed to vote. They claim to believe not letting felons vote is racist, so their mind seems to short-out when they try to put Trump into their felon equation. Leftist are an odd lot.
I think that both leftists and liberals are intellectually retarded. (I enjoy using politically incorrect words.)
There was some well-known multi-part study that absolutely did analyze the brain between leftist / liberals versus conservatives. And, yeah, the results pretty much weren't good for the former.
I'll see if I can find it.
I think it has something to do with learning what to think as opposed to learning how to think.
Emotion v logic, too, perhaps!!!
Leftists are definitely driven by emotion rather than rational thought.
💯

IME, it's just being able to think of oneself as having agency, being self-responsible, and therefore capable of self-conducting root cause analysis and determining 2nd, 3rd order effects of actions.
Most conservatives can do this almost instinctually. It's something they seem to have been taught at an early age. I think it comes from having dealt more with the real world, physical things, manual labor, skilled trades, businesses, entrepreneurial endeavors, etc. Where actions have consequences and you learn by experience in real time.
Today's liberals operate by what makes them feel good/superior in the moment, which is driven by what they were told are the "correct" views to hold. They see themselves as good little boys and girls, following teacher's orders. It's a sort of programming that's hard to undo. Liberals therefore cannot do the root cause and effect analysis unless instructed by a teacher - and even then, they need to be brought to the "correct" conclusions. It's dangerous to them to do the analysis on their own b/c they might come to the "wrong" conclusions, like that terrible "right wing" stuff. I see this mentality at work all the time.
(As an aside, this is also the problem with all academic journals. It's why they never generate a new idea, get everything wrong, and are filled with groupthink, and ultimately, propaganda. Being able to understand root causes and effects allows for calculated risk taking and innovation. No risk, no innovation.)
E.g., modern liberals' views on immigration, where they think it makes them kind and compassionate if they advocate for an open border policy. They're not thinking through the root causes of WHY those people are coming here. It's factually incorrect to say they are seeking asylum; they are not. "Seeking a better life" is not a good enough reason. As we all know, we can't just pack up and declare ourselves citizens of some other country b/c we think we'll like it more.
Liberals don't think through even 1st order effects, like: they broke the law in being here; so, what does that say about their regard for this country? What does that mean for their own well-being as humans? What's the effect on communities, especially the poor ones where these criminals will now live and take resources from natural born poor citizens? Or 2nd order effects like: now we have millions of literal criminals spread across the country, we don't have room for them, we can't afford them, and they are changing the culture of many places, in some cases 100s of years of culture is being wiped out. Then there's the 3rd order effects of what does that mean for the future of the country? National security? Social cohesion? The economy? Productivity? Etc. Liberals do not think of any of these things. They just repeat the talking points they were given by teachers/mentors b/c those make them feel superior and give them the warm fuzzies. It's their identity, in a very real way.
Leftists, on the other hand, do think through these things. It's just that their logic is terrible and incorrect, so they come to the wrong conclusions. They are the people who utterly failed logic class. They tend to come to insanely wrong conclusions like "if some A are B, then all A are B." (A good example of this is the trans issue where they think: some people never outgrow their mental illness of dysmorphia, therefore we must treat all children who ever express even a hint of it to the maximum degree. It's just really bad, incorrect logic.) And then the entire chain of conclusions they come to rests upon that one core thing they got horribly wrong. They're dumb, but in a different way. However, b/c they "thought about it" they are 100% convinced they are correct and consider it a moral violation to disagree with their conclusion.
Unfortunately, academic leftists are often the source of academic liberals' ideas, which then become the dominant views of everyday liberals.
Superbly well-said, RU 👏. I think I may even quote ya in one of my forthcoming Bulletins, under my 'Culture & Society' category.
On a very related note, here's the description of a recent PragerU video:
"Tell the average American you’re a liberal, and they’ll assume you’re on the political left. Yet, leftists and liberals hold very different positions on key issues. In this video, Dennis Prager explains how the tenets of liberalism like a belief in capitalism and free speech have more in common with conservatism than with the identity politics and racial resentment preached by the left. "

Brilliant analysis
yes, excellent comment
Here’s a fun and often deplatformed site in that vein. https://inductivist.blogspot.com/
Somewhere in the archives is an article with this theme: “Thirty percent of really liberal people have a history of mental illness.” I'm guessing the rest have not been diagnosed.
"I'm guessing the rest have not been diagnosed."
Brilliant 👏 🤣
We all know that self-ownership, or thinking of oneself, is a problem for the collective work mob.
So, in regard to the long-lost forgotten study I mentioned above, if I had to take a stab at it from a psychology / metaphysical perspective, my TL;DR thinking on it is this:
It's 'as if' they came here as incarnated twisted little souls, whose sense of Self never developed, or popped back in a Space-Time continuum that requires common sense, self-responsibility, a quest for self-interest (i.e., to focus on results, first, for yourself), and a worldview that is managed bottom-up.
In short, their brain can't comprehend any form of self-improvement or "me focused" self-reflection and self-drive. That kind of "work" makes it to where they would no longer rely on their handlers, The Establishment, to tell them how to be, do, and act.
Ba-Bam.
I ponder the why's of these liberal/leftist ideas a lot. I'm one of 4 children...we are all over 65 now. Our parents were conservative, especially my Air Force father. We are all 4 years apart in age and grew up together in an intact family, yet I am the only one of the 4 who is conservative. My brothers are uber liberal, borderline leftist, my sister is religiously conservative yet she detests Trump to the max based on his slander by various women. That's all she can look at, and none of his other policies. My younger brother enthusiastically supported Bernie Sanders, and I don't know who my other two siblings voted for. It's puzzling to me how we all turned out so different in our views. My sister told me yesterday that I am the analytical one of the family. Maybe that's it. I analyze, they don't.
The whole thing, CMCM, is perplexing.... to the core... without question. Sometimes I wonder if there's a "secret mass psychosis experiment" going on in this country. We, collectively, have certainly lost touch with its core principles.
It’s a triple threat. Attempts to cause mass psychosis, being unaware of it, and not being strong enough to resist it.
I think being analytical, and eagerly analytical, indicates a curious mind. I think the best researchers, detectives and investigators are good because they’re curious and if somebody’s not curious I wonder if they are just wired differently.
My siblings and my own kids reflect varying degrees of trusting their parents and reacting against them. The most functional are introspective, quite self-critical, curious, and unlikely to ever see themselves as the smartest person in the room. Somehow, they can be all of that and still confident. I think the best results come from understanding 1) there is a God, and 2) it’s not me.
I’m vaguely aware of that research.
We need to use words that work. Like Man, Woman, Gender Confused, Not Normal, Commies . . .
Jim
Can we please stop helping the insane left by referring to President Trump as a “convicted felon” in any context? The correct term is “justice-impacted individual.” Make them play by their own rules of language!
Lol!
I like to tease them on Facebook by saying that "I am so scared of him now..because he might push me infront of a subway car, or sucker punch my child out of nowhere, or rob my house, or carjack me"!
Then I add that, "oops, I forgot, those were the real felons who were allowed out to walk the streets without bail and, at most, got away with having misdemeanors".
I never get a response!!
Perfect!
I've hit back a few times by referring to Biden as an "unconvicted felon." But I agree that we should not use felon in reference to Trump. We can joke about it and understand the joke, but sadly, the left takes everything literally and have no sense of humor. By us ever using the term convicted felon, that legitimizes it further in the leftist mind.
Or just call him the contradicted felon.
😂🤣😂
It’s really so easy because they’re so stupid!
Terrific
I was reminded that all the founding fathers who signed the Constitution were considered felons by the British Crown.
Precisely.
perzactly, great comment
Good point!
I loved when Trump hit back at FJB with "so is your son. Joe".
Yes ! So many quick one liners ! The contrast to Biden’s intellect ( or lack there of “ non-compos mentos”) couldn’t have been more evident.
But, but, Brandon forcefully declared that "We beat Medicare!"
Too bad they didn't beat Obamacare instead!
WTH was he trying to say??
An "odd" lot? You are entirely too polite, too kind with your word choice.
The problem with tossing grenades at the other side is that it blows up the insane true believers equally with the 'some level of reasonableness' folks. We are going to need some of those reasonable people if the goal is not civil war. I ditched a lot of friends/acquaintances in 2020 who landed in the insane camp, but still keeping loose ties with the reasonable ones in the hopes that they come to see the light, at least a little bit.
So much of it is just programming. It's what they've been taught. And trying to undo that is not an easy task. Giving up what their favorite teachers or mentors told them during the formative years of their lives would be synonymous with giving up their own identity. It would be a betrayal of those teachers/mentors. (I suspect it's the same for many of us here, we just had different/better teachers and mentors that we listened to.)
I was struck in a recent team meeting at work. Otherwise intelligent and kind people - really, decent people - had the stupidest ideas I could think of. Like "we should have open borders b/c I mean that's what's on the statue of liberty." Just insane, stupid stuff. They're just repeating what they were told, like a recording being played back.
I throw them off by saying that to equate illegal migrants with my grandparents who were legal immigrants who had to go through hoops to get here is an insult to them and all immigrants who came here and who are still trying to come here. legally from other countries. Infact it is a slap in their face!! And. it makes a mockery of those who came through Ellis Island.
Those genuine immigrants came here to assimilate, learn the English language & become Americans.
These illegal aliens aren’t here to assimilate - most make no effort to learn or speak English.
Many of those who aren’t already felons/criminals in their country of origin come here to take advantage of our capitalist society but never really care to Americanize; in fact I recall seeing radical La Raza activists desecrating our flag, even removing it & flying the Mexican one declaring it superior.
When my family came here generations ago, the authorities misspelled/changed our family name and no one really cared b/c the goal was to become American. Everyone who was able (the oldest people in the family struggled) learned English. The 1st generation born here didn't even have an accent. This doesn't seem to be what's happening today. It's more salad than melting pot. The people who came here legally with the intent to assimilate and be American are not impressed by the latest wave of illegals looking for quick money and/or victims.
The pity is that there are so many good Latino first and second and third generation legally entered, hardworking, Latino and Latino Americans who will be mistakenly lumped together and hated because of those illegal migrants.
100%, RU. The long march into our universities takes full advantage of youngsters drunk on new liberties, new ideas, and yet still in need of adult guidance. So, they become groupies of radical professors and radical ideas that never work in the real world, and then entrench themselves as “visionaries.”
"Visionaries" espousing failed, murderous, 70+ year old ideas, lol.
How to lose a culture in one generation.
Well said. Same here.
Love that.
My Democrat friend prefers "convicted rapist".
AND Biden is a rapist of a woman too tell your friend. The woman was a young aide of his. Her name is Tara Reid and is living in Russia now out of fear!
The undiscovered Pedo Rapist.
I can't even imagine (nor do I want to) what kind of perversions run deep in these people, starting from Clintons. They are evil, morally bankrupt, Godless souls.
The more I see and sense, the more upstanding a human being Trump seems to me, despite his falling into temptation as a younger man.
I also admire his marriage much more, because it is real. Couples do not have to be holding hands every moment of EVERY day, like Nurse Ratchet and FJB.
HAND-ler !! He literally can’t move without her. After the debate she went up to lead him off stage. Nurse Ratchet!! Love it.
I love that name for her too! Just saw the show on Netflix
Or Meagain & Harry🤣
Same thing with the Trump worshippers. No, absolutely NO accountability for any role he played in the covid plandemic! He didn't know. He was lied to....blah blah blah.
So, Johnny-O, who are you gonna vote for? The lifetime sucker off the taxpayers teat, serial grifter, incestuous pedophile, plagerer, serial sexual predator, 50 years of being on the wrong side of every international issue, dementia patient and traitor for hire (10% for the big guy) who killed small businesses across the country with his vaccine mandates, or the Orange man, or Bobby’s son?
Oh, and what kind of accountability do you all demand of the pedophile traitor? None, you make excuses, deny and enable him. You are despicable scum sucking fucking treasonous bastards.
Whoo hoo! Tell it like it is! I am so sick of these self-righteous, imbecilic TDS sufferers, who are so upset that President Trump is still above ground and walking free. They are no lovers of America and the American way.
I’m not sure what they are, other than obstacles to the truth.
lol, LIKE
I'm not voting for either scum bag. Have a great day.
How is that $8 trillion your idol added to the budget doing for us? This isn't binary. Both people can be criticized. So sad so many like you worship politicians, who are supposed to work for us.
Try not being such a blatant asshole next time.
You are such a hypocrite. Your start out with a deliberately provocative comment denigrating people as Trump worshipers. Your sole intent was to annoy people and stir up trouble. You could have made your point without being a buffoon.
Then people give your same crap back to you and you call them assholes.
Seriously get bent. You get back from people what you give to them. Your problem is that you're a jerk in real life and no ever gives it back to you. Well here we do.
Yes!
woohoo, LIKE
I did not single anyone out, I said "Trump worshippers." If they aren't one then my comment didn't apply, but they responded like a two year old. And yes, there are plenty on this thread who can't stand a single ounce of criticism toward trump or they quickly devolve and call you a Biden lover and scum sucking fucking treasonous bastards. If you can't see the difference between my comment and the vitriolic response, then you too are part of the problem, and can also, in your own words, get bent.
I'll up you there, go fuck yourself.
You have zero introspection and cannot see what a hypocrite you are. And I agree with you that there are plenty of people that cannot see Trump's obviously flaws. But you started this by calling people names then got all offended when someone pushed back.
You've done this over and over on the boards, deliberately provoking people and trying to show off how smart you are. It isn't working, and you might want to consider that normal people don't enjoy arguing with a snot-nosed, know-it-all punk. There's a reason you've driven friends and family from your life.
"How is that $8 trillion your idol added to the budget doing for us? This isn't binary. Both people can be criticized."
Still floors me that Trump cult thinks that if you don't vote for their Orange idol, "you MUST be voting for Biden!"
This is precisely how we got here. But they just can't avoid falling for it and keep supporting the Uniparty.
Cult 45 and proud. TDS blinds like no other disorder known to man.
My new pronouns is "Trumplican"
"Cult 45 and proud."
Sincere props for admitting it. Only cult members could support a man responsible for 19 million dead and counting, on a Substack devoted to countering the Deathvax.
But you do you WS.
I'm not your enemy - I suspect we agree on almost everything. But the Trump Cult cannot stand factual criticism Dear Leader.
It's too bad.
I know, it's childish and annoying. Both sides are brainwashed in the same way and idolize scum bags.
I don't think a lot of Trump supporters are 'idolizing' him as a person or politician. It is just that the Republican approach is far more sane than what has become of the democrats.
I am sorry, but I do not want my grandbaby thinking that transgenderism is a normal thing to think about in elementary school. for instance.
Oh, aren't you impressive, Johnny-0. Please reach down from your perch of infallibility and share your secret for remaining faultlessly brainwash-free. Seriously, dude. What makes you omniscient?
My favorite is "Trump HAD to sign off on Operation Warp Speed deathvax, otherwise the media would have savaged him."
Remember, most people still believe in the life saving effect of vaccines. I am a boomer and it is something my mother believed too.
We grew up on this.
The ONLY reason my hubbie and I did not succumb was because of our experiences and rememberances of the disastrous 'quick to market' swine flu vaccine in the 1970s.
Trump trusted the big pharma swamp. It doesn't take a lot of brain cells to know better.
I have rebutted your senseless claims many, many times. Go on beat that dead horse with your nonsense. I don’t know who you think you’re influencing.
I can’t imagine why, but President Trump seems to be doing just fine without you, genius.
Oh I'm sorry, did I miss Trump publicly announcing that nobody should take the poison death shots? All you have are excuses and blind faith in someone who honestly wasn't even that impressive in a debate against a brain dead pedophile. But hey, Trump is buddies with Epstein too so maybe he and Joe have something in common.
🤣😊🤪
Trump wears it like a badge of honor. Taking hits for the country he loves.
The new law in Florida to place a ban on lab-grown meat takes effect today.
https://x.com/GeneralMCNews/status/1806854619940667811
I love the pic with DeSantis, the Based crowd, and a table of steaks. How American!
I did not want him to run for the white house and want him to stay in FL as long as possible!
Love my governor ! 👏👏😎
I love your governor too; mine not so much.
Nice! Just in time for a great American Independence Day barbecue! 🇺🇸
That’s as good as when he signed legislation in Brandon Florida after tte Let’s Go Brandon incident 😁
So, no McTumors for Florida Man, then.
So how long do stores have to get it off their shelves and out of their freezers? I wonder how empty the freezer section will be for that section of fake meat now? Stuff we didn’t even realize weren’t actually plant based fake meat, but lab grown fake meat. ???
Hellinois is building a lab grown chicken plant 15 minutes from my house.
HELLinois. Perfect name for hellacious poultry
😱
I’m halfway through the article but I had to stop to post this- Jeff, you’re on FIRE this morning!!
Isn’t he though? The sarcasm is high this morning, and I am here for it.
💯
I took SO many notes today! I had to write down some of my favorite Childer[s]isms "for posterity"!: that ''focus'' one got me good, I really did ''lol''!
Maybe after the big COVID VAXX CASE is over and the dust has settled (I know, I know, things can't be rushed, and good things come to those who wait, yada yada, then YAY!), we could see the column called "Coffee and Childers," in keeping with the "C&C" moniker?
Be Child[ers]-LIKE, Not Child[ers]-ISH! [insert good-natured-cheerful groan, lol] and enjoy your Coffee and Childers daily!
If we weren't so justifiably eager to read his work every morning first-thing-early, we could have seen his take on the difference between Constitutional, partial, official and non-official immunity today, but I am MORE THAN willing and eager to see what having a day to digest the 119 page SCOTUS ruling produces! (Tomorrow, come quickly?)
I’m with you, Anita, the word “COVID“ just isn’t cutting it anymore. I like Coffee & Childers :)
Jeff did Michelle put an extra scoop in your coffee, or did you change brands? So good today!
Same thought as I was reading this morning!!
The heavens will praise Your wonders, O Yahweh;
Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.
For who in the sky is comparable to Yahweh?
Who among the sons of the mighty is like Yahweh,
A God greatly dreaded in the council of the holy ones,
And fearsome above all those who are around Him?
O Yahweh God of hosts, who is like You, O mighty Yah?
Your faithfulness also surrounds You.
— Psalm 89:5-8 LSB
Praise Yahweh for blessings received last week, personal and collective.
So happy for you Dave!
Praise God. Blessings on you Dave!
Praise the Lord!
Hall Elu Yah!!!
Always sharp always on time. Thanks Janice. Have a beautiful and blessed day.
Of course, the Biden family mafioso's want him to stay in. They're all making a ton of monye on influence peddaling and bribes with the "Big Guy" in office.
How does anyone still believe that it was a mere “blunder” to let Biden debate, or that the media publishing that Biden relies on Hunter for advice was just reporting the facts? These are deliberate statements (of many, including Hur’s highly publicized statement that Biden was too old and feeble to prosecute) made to subtly build a case against Biden. They can’t come out and say the next president has already been chosen; they want Americans to think they’ve let Biden go on their own - they’ve made their own decisions. Being led by our noses by mainstream media as usual.
Being led by our noses if we are foolish enought to assign reliability to any maintream media source like so many of the sheeple.
I just saw this. Almost gagged. The predictability of liberal leftists to praise that or those who normal people do not, is always nauseating:
VOGUE'S NEW COVER/JILL BIDEN 🤮
(I remember the days when fashion magazines were about fashion and not imposing political views)
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13588067/jill-biden-vogue-cover-joe-disastrous-debate.html
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13588067/jill-biden-vogue-cover-joe-disastrous-debate.html
I'm gagging too. Yet Trump's wife never featured--she's aging quite gracefully and is still beautiful.
It is all so politically motivated.
Yep. I used to subscribe to some women's fashion magazines but just couldn't stand all the politics and the features of these ugly but powerful Democrat women.
Seriously, can’t Jill afford any decent, well fitting clothes? And her posture is straight out of a college dorm room.
None of those things would even bother me, if it wasn't for what she's all about. She could be a hunchback in tattered clothes and I'd love her if she was an honest, compassionate person with moral and ethical courage and capacity.
So true, but I can't think of a reason why she'd want to be on Vogue, cat.
Melania is in a class of her own! I agree, she is aging gracefully and retains her beauty. She could put Vogue to shame without trying.
agree
Yep, she has all the confidence that these women's magazines claim women already have. In Jill's case, she obviously needs to be propped up as well as photoshopped.
Jill disgusts me so much 🤮 That entire family is beyond revolting 😡
Yes. They are morally revolting.
Could not agree more.
barf. I cannot believe that. Cancel vogue (if we have any subscribers here). I dumped all liberal rags years ago. People keeps trying to bring me back. No way!
Good grief, she wears table cloths, draperary and couch covers! She arrived at Camp David this weekend in a couch cover. She, absolutely, has the worst taste in clothing I've ever seen. (Except a neighbor but that's another story)
🤮
Well you and I may see through it but the vast majority of Americans do not. If the NYT subtly implies that he has dementia (but he’s a good guy!!) and is taking counsel from Hunter, we must regrettably conclude we can’t vote for him, etc. It’s a set-up and has been for his entire term.
Unfortunately, he's never ever been a good guy. Now they're trying to sell us a pedophile being advised by a crack head. MMP.
Unfortunately some will swallow it hook, line, & sinker.
Agree, but I know many who think he’s a selfless angel of service, and think Trump is a ruthless felon. Hard to believe anyone can not see facts but these idiots are out there by the thousands.
It's sad but, very very true. Ignorance should be painful.
??
Plus won't Hunter need a presidential pardon?
YES
Not to mention….. continuing Biden’s ability to issue pardons.
So, I think we need to be watching who they install as the VP running mate for biden. I think if they have to try to push him through, CamelToe won’t be the running mate. I think we see a change in that position. Whoever it is - Newscum or whoever…. that is who they will install. If they can install biden and ?? right after the selection in November that’s when they’ll have Joe resign, 25th him or just have him “accidentally die” and voila! We have an unelected (but selected) new four years of destroying America.
We gotta think like criminals to try and figure out what they’re doing. We’re always late to the game since we aren’t criminals. The memo went out with the “debate” for the corrupt media to “suddenly realize” biden has Alzheimer’s. 🙄 Everything is being put into place.
That would be one of the very few notions that would make sense given the current scenario.
They will offer Kamala a SCOTUS seat-she'll step aside eagerly.
I forgot to add protection racceteering (sp?).
"Racketeering" think...
Both?
Not to mention extreme fear of the consequences if ‘protection’ is lost.
With corprate media, a corrupt congress, a more corrupt DOJ and FBI they feel there is no risk and the swamp will always be there to sheild them.
Someone whose name rhymes with "Wilders" once said (I paraphrase) "How does collapse happen? Slowly then all at once."
Sundance at CTH has echoed that for the last couple of years.
Sundance had a really intresting article about (of all things) Jill's wedding set. After holding hands w/ Joe, it's handed off to a "handler". More than that, but interesting none the less.
I read that article, and concluded that Kleinkader Jill is afraid the ring will get squished, as the thousands of Biden fans shake her hand at the massive rallies that greet Joe and Jill wherever they land.
It’s funny, this dovetails with what I just read in a book called Atomic Habits that a friend gave me recently.
Happy Canada day to my fellow Canadian readers! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🍁🍁
We must celebrate while we are still an independent nation, although what Turdie has done, one might already think all is lost!
Happy Canada Day!!
Happy Dominion Day, (I'm old school), fellow Canucks.
Happy Canada day, neighbors to the north!! 🇨🇦
Another brilliant, inspiring, insightful and humorous article. This is one of the best yet! I’m continually amazed at your writing and communication skills.
Thank you so much for making C&C free and available to all! As a senior on a fixed income, I especially appreciate your thoughtfulness, generosity and kindness.
Can relate! My husband is retired and I’m on disability.
Well said!!
Thank you ❤️
I addressed the “correlation is not causation” bugaboo in “Letter to a Holocaust Denier” in 2021:
“Let’s address the matter of correlation and causation since ‘correlation does not equal causation’ is one of the regularly regurgitated bullet points from the VAERS disinformation campaign.
“The American Council on Science & Health notes: ‘It is oft-repeated that correlation does not imply causation. But it does. That’s precisely why epidemiologists and economists are so fascinated by correlations. Thus, it is far more accurate to say that correlation does not prove causation.’
“That is where Hill’s Criteria of Causality comes in. It can be used to assess causation in cases of statistically anomalous correlations—like the colossal ones that started occurring in January 2021 and have been rising at historically unprecedented rates ever since.’”
See original for associated links if you want to keep these in your pocket to counter the correlation-is-not-causation mockingbirds:
• https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-a-holocaust-denier
The "correlation does not equal causation" saying makes sense when cause and effect cannot be ascertained. Michael Crichton called it the "wet streets cause rain" phenomena, it happens all the time. So maybe people dying suddenly is causing them to go get vaxxed? No.
The other reason for the saying is to be wary of possible confounders such as unhealthy people on death's door being more likely to get the vax. But as Jeff Childers pointed out, the study controlled for just about everything and the correlation was still there. Maybe they missed something but it seems unlikely.
The wise saying of "correlation does not equal causation" used to mean use caution in drawing conclusions. Now it means you must ignore everything your senses, common sense, and life experience tells you, and only trust official pronouncements. It's the perfect midwit saying of someone who thinks they are smart but actually just mouthing platitudes.
What they missed was the world wide 5G rollout that coincided with the covid plandemic...
🎯
100%
That last paragraph especially 🎯🎯🎯
Jeff C - well said.
Nailed it Jeff.
Just a note to state that really correlation does not prove causation... until it's been "peer reviewed", published, referenced in other papers and accepted as scientific dogma regardless of validity... So correlation does in fact prove causation if it's favored Science™...
Peer review is no guarantee of reliability. Early skeptic of the Covid narrative, Prof. John Ioannidis, has long been a critic, pointing out the huge fraction of published papers with 'irreproducible results'. James Corbett has a good article on use of AI nowadays to produce 'papers' which fool reviewers: https://corbettreport.substack.com/p/trust-the-computer-generated-gobbledygook
All "peer-reviewed" means is that the published paper has passed conformity to the established scientific paradigm for that subject. IE, nothing new. I would also point out that science is mostly theory, very little of which is proven. Science is the process of postulating a theory to explain observed phenomenon until a new observation comes along that demonstrates that the theory is incorrect or incomplete leading to a new theory. But people being people, scientists are loath to recognize that the established paradigm no longer holds water.
That's why the leading Medical Journal in the world threw 175 of them in the bin 2 weeks ago, the peer reviewed papers were either flat out lies or plagerized. (John Hopkins, I think)
😆👍
Re: "See original for associated links if you want to keep these in your pocket to counter the correlation-is-not-causation mockingbirds".
Pocket? I think I at least need a suitcase! What a great resource to have. Thanks Margaret Anna Alice!
🤣 Delighted you found some things worth packing away, Melissa!
Went straight to my bloated Evernote account - I'd be lost without my Evernote archives!
Thank you❣️
And yet another way to say it is "Correlation is a necessary but not sufficient condition to prove causation".
"Do NOT say that with a French accent" I did. LMAO!!!!!!!
Me too! Jeff is so fun/funny😂
Indeed. Dark sarcastic beautiful humor. I love it. 🥰
Moi Aussi!
For personal reasons that sentence had me laughing so hard today!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
“And what world leader wants to side with a battered and mocked dementia patient?”
These NATO ‘leaders’ have been doing this for years! They, only now, have been caught with their pants down.
To Jeff Childers point, only the dumb ones (like Scholz) stuck their neck out. They all know Biden is a mess, but the smart ones dodged the question when asked about it. Same thing here in the US, only a fool would have claimed Biden is mentally sharp leading up to the debate (like Joe Scarborough did). He staked his credibility on Biden not screwing up, talk about stupid.
The world is filled with liars, but smart ones aren't that common.
Scholz/sounds like "Schultz" says, ''I know nothing, nothing!!" (Hogan's Heroes reference for those who are too young...)
This sentence was worthy of the great Douglas Adams: "The scientists have a fun shell game they like to play with studies, which allows them to deny the most obvious things, like where the Sun rises in the morning, or the fact that LED light bulbs do not, in fact, last ten years, but often commit electronic Hari-Kari within hours of being switched on the first time, because they are even more depressed to discover their own existence than we were." BRAVO
Jeff, thank you for explaining what was wrong with my LED bulbs.
Thankfully, the light is shining in Europe these days, and the "protesters" and rioters are showing us who the real enemy is.
With a little luck, the days of the LED bulb are numbered. I know of a nice President who does not like them one bit.
lol, like
I have another government scam to discuss which I became painfully aware of this morning when I downloaded my statement from the Social Security Administration. I have been paying into Social Security for about 50 years. I started taking the "benefit" two years ago. Based on the statement, it will take me at least 8 years to recover what I put in. And, since I'm still working, I'm still paying in. So it could be that I will never receive in "benefits" the amount that I paid in.
Also, those dollars I paid in way back when are worth much more than today's dollars. Lastly, I am taxed on the "benefit".
Am I missing something?
You paid in on pretax dollars which is the IRS justification for taxing social security. However, you will only be taxed if your income is over a threshold amount. Therefore, some people are taxed and some are not. Here are a few more facts: If you could have invested the money paid in over the years you would be better off financially. The money paid into Social Security is not invested and earning income like a pension fund or a 401k. Also, your heirs will not get any benefits at your passing. For instance, a married couple both pay into social security but one passes away. The surviving spouse collects the higher of the two benefits but will not collect both. It is not set up for you to collect all that you paid in. Many never collect. Someone who passed away before the age they would have collected will obviously not collect what they paid in. Those paying in now are actually paying those who are collecting now. It is somewhat of a Ponzi scheme. Sometime in the future we as a country have to exit the social security train. Unfortunately it is not a good campaign slogan for people running for office and if they said such a thing they would not be elected. I've wondered how to exit and be fair to all. The only thing I could come up with is everyone stops paying in now and funds are diverted from some other federal program to pay those who have paid in over the years. Gradually over the years all those who paid into social security will pass away and social security would be "paid off".
Many corporations have stopped pensions by not allowing any new employees after a certain date to get it. NC did this for teachers, too. I honestly never planned to get SS, thought it'd be gone already.
I can almost hear it echoing from the Powers That Be:
How dare you call it a Ponzi Scheme! It's Paying-It-Forward!
How about considering the govt takes 50% of a married couples social security if one dies. Two people pay for a working lifetime, one passes and the government allows you to pick “one” of the social security benefits. What happens to that surplus?
You’re not missing much, if anything
agree
It is crazy, imagine if you could have invested the money along the way! 😔 That said, social security is withdrawn pretax so that may be why it’s taxed when the benefit is paid
A close friend of mine's dad built his house (LA bayou 4bd/3ba) in the 70's whenever he had $ available. When it was done, he had no mortgage, no obligation to buy insurance. He didn't. Took the $ he would have paid in insurance and invested it. When he retired (was an oil rig boat Capn) he was a mutimillionaire. I loved him like a second Dad, he was so wise.
That’s beautiful. I’m going to be posting a stack this week for the first time in almost 3 years. This comment was a ‘sign’ for me to do it so thank you
Do tell!
