Jam-packed roundup: Senate rules change; Missouri v Biden; the Roper case; CBS news dissects Biden; study shows jab deaths; Paxton update; surgeon, soap-opera, congress-adjacent SADS; and LOTS more.
You know... when you were pulling a funny a few days ago I think it got in your head and now you are randomly doing the funny. Which is funny. What you SHOULD say instead of "ERRATA" is "Solly no Solly". Then you can finally drop the mic and exit.
And you wonāt have to think. Just find out who is offering the biggest payoff for the legislation theyāve already written.
You donāt need pants for that.
When you are voting for a Congressional Rep or a U.S. Senator you are not voting for a person who will write laws. Your rep only votes on legislation to approve or disapprove of constructs that are written by outside groups and sold to them through lobbyists who work for those outside groups.
Sundance has often said he doesn't care about the credit and to share freely. He isn't the only one to have educated people about lobbyists, my politicians have said it. Just saying. It is nice to give credit where due, I agree w/that.
Which is NOT what our progenitors had in mind when they created the "legislative" branch of our system of checks and "balances". Right about now--I'd say we are horribly UNbalanced! When did Executive Orders become the norm for "legislating" in our country anyway?? Anybody know for certain??
NOPE-after I wrote that, W.S., I did an online search and found a chart listing ALL of the Executive Orders written by each POTUS since before WW I--guess who wrote the most? FDR wrote over 3,400 of them (Obummer only wrote a bit over 300) and good old "Pappy Joe" has only written 160 or so in the past 2 1/2 years!) Second Place award on Executive Orders goes to Teddy Roosesvelt at a bit over 1,800 (looks like the Roosevelts have Executive Order FERVOR--or FEVER!
Being an old pro about being an utter snake, Miss Lindsey managed to get himself āsort ofā inside the heroes circle of persecuted MAGA (with no real danger of any sacrifice). And of course he is attempting to fundraise off his ānear missā.
Buzbee was worth his weight in GOLD - and now Paxton has been exonerated! My friend in TX said it was another witch hunt--like what 45 and 18 "co defendants" are going through RIGHT NOW!!
That idea is funny as heck (assuming he "gets it", understands the point) ..... but I wouldn't waste a dime on the guy. Better places for my deflated dollars.
Recently on C&C there were women ranting about how they would never where panty hose again. It seems that casual Friday has turned into casual everyday. There was a time when dress codes evoked respectfullness for the occasion, be it school, church or work. When one was "dressed up" their behavior was relective of how they were dressed. Carrying oneself with confidence, assurance and conviction calls forth trust and respect from others. How is this seen as a bad thing? By the way, I hate panty hose too, but still wear them when the ocassion deems it appropriate.
I agree šÆ with your post. When I go to church visiting my family in the NE, ofcourse I will wear pantyhose with my skirt or dress. Here in South florida, I wear dresses and skirts without unless it is a super cold night and I have to dress up.
Never the less, it is nice dressing a bit even with pants..a blazer, collared or a pretty blouse and heels with pants, can elevate any look.
That was me and I still think pantyhose is ridiculous. Itās like your skin but not š I could even go for tights if people felt like a womenās lower limbs being seen might be inappropriate š± But pantyhose is just dumb. Also because it invariably gets snags and runs and THAT looks even more inappropriate and slovenly than bare legs.
Well, with his reduced mental capacity, he probably can't work buttons, or the zipper....and the belt buckle, faaagetttaboutittt! Oh, and don't even dream of cufflinks! And all the ties would have to be clip-on....and that's probably too difficult to figure out too....
It is his schtick, he wore that outfit before his stroke. Lizzy Fauxcahontas always in her jacket and pants, the Beast in her draperies and Mao outfits, Botox and her lapel pins, Mad Max and her lipstick, Sheila Jackson Lee w/her birds nest on top of her head.
Send the gift cards to Chucky to donate to Featherbrain. Maybe that would send a message to both to quit lowering the bar. Next will probably be required courses on how to speak and understand garbled, disjointed sentences, spoken by many in government, top down.
Look around...everyone is dressing down...the look is appealing to the masses who seem to have lost any desire to effort themselves to be presentable....just another downward spiral in our damaged culture. There has to be a balance some where and some how!
This is a real problem that clearly show declining standards all across the board, IMHO. Idiocracy levels of cultural norms are evolving rapidly. While itās certainly true that at various times elitism created ridiculous highfalutin cultural norms that were clearly idiotic as well, the pendulum is swinging so far in the other direction that we will eventually end up treating one another with utter disregard that anyone else matters at all. Good manners are important; especially in raising children.
Clothes communicate both consciously and unconsciously. The less capable/serious our congress looks...then the more capable/serious the globalist WHO/WEF will appear...making it easier to worm on in and take over. Bet'ya THEY won't be dressing down...
I think you can blame that on the west coast. Out here we are very casual. I find itās actually a relief to know I donāt have to get ādressed upā to go to the grocery store, etc, as we are more than our appearance and itās unhealthy to be that obsessed. But I do think certain places should uphold standards of dress. I would hate to lose that entirely.
There are millions of beautiful dresses in the resale shops for astoundingly low prices. Some still have the tags on them. I love looking like a female and not a slug.
I normally think that dress codes are stupid, but basketball shorts on the senate floor? No. Thatās appalling. Iād pony up a few bucks to see all the women in short-shorts and all the men in wife beaters until itās over. Can you imagine all those pasty octogenarian limbs? *shudder*
I also donāt like dress codes in principle because they have been used to enforce upper class domination of certain jobs and places. They are often very arbitrary. But I also feel like weāve gone too far in the direction of casualness and tolerance. I always dress professionally for work and even at conferences because I do think presentation is important and I feel more put together when I am wearing a jacket and skirt rather than a cardigan and dress pants. There are different levels of being well dressed of course, but people have gotten so slovenly. Itās now almost a point of prideārather than being cause for shame as in the past. Then, even the poorest people tried to make themselves as well dressed and presentable as possible and had at least one nice outfit for church and special occasions.
Iām not so opposed to dress codes. They often serve a good purpose, as in the practice of most private schools having uniforms. I remember my granddaughters going off to school in their cute little plaid skirts and red cardigans. They had numerous options, but the point is that nobody dressed in outlandish waysā¦up or down. The senate could learn something from kindergarteners.
Back in the day (1970's-80's) I worked at a Savings and Loan that had a dress code. They supplied all of the clothing which saved me a ton of money, was a great assortment with accessories and everyone in town knew where we worked. We were walking advertisements.
yes, or WORSE; push the envelope; no shirt no shoes, overalls like they all take MAGA voters for anyway, or Amish Heritage Appreciation garb; let the media go nuts over it; why not YOGA Pants on your Dem Senators as well UpChuck Schumer?
Kathleen I think you are right, but this man should have been removed because he is severely handicapped. If so, I suppose dr. whatshisname would have become the only candidate. Would that have been better? I thought from reading some of his articles, that he was a fake doctor, but it seems he is a real medical doctor. God forbid, does he have patients? I would not go there if he were the last dr on earth
totally agree. I think everyone in political positions should be examined by some trustworthy mds (if there are any left) before even being on a ballot. If something serious happened like to Fetterman, the voting could be halted until either the candidate is able to serve, or immedately be replaced. Same with that woman from CA, how in the world can she still serve? bad enough as is for the healthy members of the govt, let go these handicapped retirees (which brings up another theme - age ! I think both biden and trump are too old)
that would explain the sometimes absurd articles. he would do good examining them before they get posted though. this cannot be good for his reputation as a doctor. and if he is the one writing them, his licence should be revoked. of course with the new 'science,' one never knows!
Feinstein in CA is a disgrace at this point. She is a Democrat placeholder and others tell her how to vote. She is 90 and has been in the Senate for 31 years. There have been dementia rumors for years, but the Dem fools in CA keep voting for her. After all, it's "her" seat. Until she dies. Rumor has it that the Dems want Adam Schiff to get her seat until HE dies.
Yes. Which he won't if it's before the end of her term. Goodhair already promised it to someone that would be difficult to push out of the way should Feinstein resign before the end.
recently I saw how someone else put her finger on where to vote. a disgrace indeed! another proof that voting is not what it is. How can someone vote for Fetterman and feinstein? or is it because both are jewish?
Whatās so weird is that decades ago I remember really energetic and functional OLD members of both chambers in Congress. I do not recall ever seeing ANY impaired members. I know there is far more publicly available visibility now through all of the information channels available to us (just recalled how the media covered for Kennedy and FDR), so likely that is a factor. But still, age never seemed to play a role in an officialās ability to perform their duties.
As for age limits, I say āpshawā. Because I am a member of a 55+ cooperative very active community, I see the wide variation in how people are doing whether they are 103 (yes!) or 55. One of our members just completed a hike up one of the Yosemite landmarks (I think Half Dome) for his 90th birthday, heās as sharp as a tack.
Frankly I think the focus needs to be on health. Oh, and this current disgrace in Congress? We can thank the Peters family - especially the matriarch- for allowing the patriarch to make a fool of himself with his obvious cognitive decline during the 2020 campaign.
I like him and respect his medical wisdom which doesnt go lockstep with Big Pharm. At the time Oprah introduced him to the public, Oprah and Trump were friends! People and politics were different in the 90s.
To all those that say āPDJT SHOULDā, (or āshouldnātā) the responce is simple.
Start with $5 million from your Dad, and build an empire of over 1000 businesses, then with -0- political experience run for the highest office in the land, running AGAINST the RNC, the DNC, the I.C., the MSM, etc. and WIN.
Then, have the most productive Term in office of any POTUS, EVER despite constant undermining by the aforementioned powerful forces.
I could go on, but the punchline is THEN you can weigh in on what you think āPDJT SHOULD (or SHOULDNāT) do, with some degree of credibility.
Until then, opinions are like assholes, everubody HAS one, and at some point everybody IS one, just best to not display it, for all to see.
I adore Dr. Oz. He was a top cardiologist at the best hospital in NYC. (Columbia Presbyterian). I dont know why the media has done a Trump style hatchet job on him? He has some integrity. He said that hydrochloriquine was being used with success by colleagues in Turkey to treat early covid. I applaud him for that because he looked quite nervous and scared to say it.
thank you for correcting me. I suppose the column in the local newspaper is written by someone else using his name. He should really have refused to have his name on the nonsense that gets published in it.
PA (lived there for about 60 years) has always been Dem and will always be Dem because of Pgh and Philly (Philly more). Best advice... move. Florida is lovely and TN wasn't bad either!
He probably only knows his way to the Goodwill Store and gift cards to The Men's Warehouse would be waaay to confusing for him. I still think it is a body double.
Hell to the No! on sending a plugged Nickle to Fetterman.
I applaud the removal of the dress code for the senate . Now letās do it for the house. Why should they be showing up in their expensive suits, looking like theyāre involved in anything more serious than their lobbying deals and weekend plans?
Corporations write the legislation. Lobbyists buy the votes. The legislators cast the votes. With the constant fundraising pleas, have you ever thought, āWhat the hell, do we have to buy justice and good legislation?ā The answer is, āYes, we do. And the competition is quite stiff.ā
This article is a good piece for understanding how it works.
So, yeah, let āem show up in their shorts and flip-flops. Much more honest.
I think the $5 gift cards is a terrific idea. Making a joke out of Sen. Joke is a perfect way to respond to MSMās characterization of conservatives as being āfreaked outā over Fettermanās weirdness.
I was going to say that I wouldnāt give more than a $2. Gift card. Tops. I can remember back when the Democrats had a soul and Daniel Patrick Moynihan coined the term, ādefining deviancy downā. It was a phrase Rush loved and the practice is snowballing with the current group.
Forty years ago, my 90+ years old great-uncle was widowed and living alone. He had a good neighbor who delivered his groceries, and he never left the house, not even to see a doctor. I hadnāt seen him in a while, so I went to visit and rang his doorbell. He opened the door in a dark suit, white shirt, tie, and polished shoes, exactly how he was dressed every time I ever saw him. He didnāt recognize me at first. He glared and growled, āWhat can I do to you?ā Tough old bird went down fighting death and dressed like a gentleman every day to the very end.
Exactly, erasing all distinctions erased identity. All the same is nothing different which eliminates the choice spectrum. Communists always raze everything to the ground, otherwise one cannot Build Back Better.
Here in Texas we were doing happy dances at Ken Paxtonās acquittal! No doubt a lot of the 4 million people who voted for him called in to voice their outrage at this sham impeachment. I certainly did! Finally - a successful push back against the cabal!
I keep hearing it said that the Bush era is deadā¦letās hope so!
I watched a few key witnesses and the closing arguments. The case against Paxton was terrible. They probably wasted millions of public money on their 17 prosecution attorneys.
Paxtonās defense attorney was serious. This impeachment case is historic.
And I hope Dade Phelan and the other rino's who started this witch hunt are chased out of town. I went to some of their fb sites and the comments are brutal. People in their districts are pissed and rightfully so.
This incident shined a light on who needs to get booted out. We now know them by their vote, ie., what theyāve done, not what they say. And start with Dade Phelan for sure!
Did you see Texas Scorecard today? Survey question asked if Phelan should resign or get kicked out of the GOP. āTar, feather, ride out of state on a railā wasnāt an option.
RL, itās a win for all like-minded conservatives! Texas and more recently, Florida have led the way in conservative action. Hopefully this is just the beginning of a huge push back against the growing corruption in government. And Paxton has taken on the corrupt Xiden administration like no other. Within a day or two of the 2020 election he filed a suit to nullify the election, of course the Supreme Court said there was no standing for it. š
Thank God for that acquittal. The Bush/Rove Cabal could not abide George P. Bush being defeated by Paxton. They will never forgive President Trump for demolishing !Jebās run, which was absurdly easy to do. They are Ron DeSantisā promoters!
Itās better to walk alone than with a crowd going in the wrong direction. āGandhi
Fear has two meanings - Forget Everything And Run or Face Everything And Rise. The choice is yours. āProverb
They laugh at me because I'm different. I laugh at them because they're all the same. āCobain
Fortunately, some are born with spiritual immune systems that sooner or later give rejection to the illusory worldview grafted upon them from birth through social conditioning. They begin sensing that something is amiss and start looking for answers. Inner knowledge and anomalous outer experiences show them a side of reality others are oblivious to, and so begins their journey of awakening. Each step of the journey is made by following their heart instead of following the crowd and by choosing knowledge over the veils of ignorance. āHenri Bergson
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what Godās will isāhis good, pleasing and perfect will.
I definitely walked alone with one group of friends that I had...they all now have switched sides but it was super lonely for a while. Now, they donāt admit they were wrong, never, but they say things like āI would never take another shotā.
I have friends (few) who say that. For them I say "Good" and leave it at that. For those that shunned me and refused to let me ride with their vaxxed group to meetings, refused to be around me cuz I would not mask, screeched at me on the street for not masking, called me an idiot that would kill them all... Well I still wait for them to say they will never get another shot right in front of my face. The conversation will be interesting.
These are great! (Though personally I am no admirer of Kurt Cobaināstill a good quote though).
I love this one and actually once gave a speech based on it:
Individuality is the salt of common life. You may have to live in a crowd but you do not have to live like it. Nor subsist on its food. You may have your own orchard. You may drink at a hidden spring. Be yourself if you would serve others.
Seneca the Elder is one of the lesser known Roman writers. It was he (I think) that said something much like the FEAR comment above (approximately) "You may take Fate by the hand (or walk with her arm in arm) or be dragged along. The choice is yours."
They're using the 'sexual assualts from long ago' playbook, just like Clearance Thomas, Trump, and Kavanaugh. They went to the media and not the police, right?
...Because if you go to the police you have to file a criminal complaint and then an affidavit. If you are lying you can go to prison.
Ecuador? for some reason I thought he was Australian. I have not followed any of his history to be honest. Only know how he got encarcerated for opening up some bags of dirt
I thought he was British, my understanding is that both GB and US have a vested interest in keeping him quiet, extradition battles have been going on for awhile. He lived (isolated from friends and family) in an embassy for years, I believe it was the Ecuador embassy. It was a few short years ago that he was "captured" or turned over to the Brits. Now he is in isolation at a prison in GB, can't recall name/location but it's well-known. I can't keep track of everything anymore, the system has been more than flooded, it's been tsunamied (Alinsky tactics).
wikipedia says he is Australian, a kind of nomad, and instead of being a pedophile, he seems to have helped police roll up a band of child porn people. He was a hacker and was convicted for that. He was in the Ecuadoran ambassy in the UK when Ecuador stopped giving him asylum so he got arrested there.
Please, no more legislation. It can always be turned against us (Patriot Act, anyone?), it costs more of our money to administer and enforce, and outs more power in the government we are already oppressed by.
I think we need to shame the perpetrators of these smear campaigns. Good memes are a terrific place to start.
You canāt even comment on most news sites about these travestyās unless you are pro-āvictimā. Itās hard to make a difference. I have boys and would hate for something like this to happen to them from a jilted lover. I am for small government but this trend is ridiculous and has to stop. I know some of it is true but you should have to have the burden of proof.
Totally agree with you regarding burden of proof. And though I am not a parent, I empathize completely about your boys and your concern. These people have no regard for the ripple effects of their actions.
As for "victims" and accusations, Robert Barnes had choice words on the Viva Barnes video clip shared elsewhere in this thread, addressing the societal norms that I (VERY) regrettably had a hand in upholding during my younger years.
I still think shaming and naming, beginning with hot memes, is the way to start burning these evil people. El Gato Malo would be a great meme-maker in this regard, but they need to get shared on every social media platform and go viral. I am avoiding commenting on social media because of the AI crawlers (who are certainly viewing stack comments).
I scarcely know who Russel Brand is. But you're right about one thing: this is huge news in the UK tabloid press I scan daily. For whatever reason, yes his current infamy does seem right out of the standard playbook to dredge up skeletons from long ago, doesn't it?
I knew it was a āsmearā the instant I saw it, on two Murdoch outlets: the Daily Mail and NY Post. My hubby showed me the Guardian version of the smear and I instantly unloaded in him about that far left IC propaganda rag. Okay it canāt be a rag anymore, for young readers itās a āmedia outletā. I prefer āragā.
Dr. David Martin just spoke to the EU for the second time on 9/13. Check it out here.....Not to be missed!
They only gave him 23 minutes and he kills it!
Dr. David E. Martin Calls For Total Destruction Of The World Health Organization (WHO) For Crimes Against Humanity & Bio-Terrorism (9/13/23 Speech):
@DrDMartinWorld
bravely exposes the criminal cartel WHO: Plan it, Fund it, Create it, Deploy & Profit from it.
āUntil we treat this as a criminal conspiracy, of criminal racketeers, resulting in global terrorism for the purpose of profiteering and murder; until we have that conversation, weāre having the wrong conversation.ā
He also exposes COVID as bio-weapon as part of his presentation.
If you haven't seen Dr. Martin's first presentation to the European Union, you should be able to find it on Rumble.
On Aug 22, he did a two hour interview with Brian Rose. In that interview, David is given time to completely lay out his entire case and it is worth every minute. "This Was An Act Of War Against The Human Race":
On Aug 23, David Martin did a one hour interview with Man in America where he explained why we should not fear the cabal because their plan has failed.
Thank you so much. I have listened to a previous video of his speaking, but this one, I have not. And he does not mind any words!!! Why do you think that our elected representatives have not even mentioned any of this? Sweeping it under the rug as millions of people die!!! EVIL!
Exactly. The love of money is the root of all evil. Our entire political establishment is bought off and compromised. It is difficult to imagine ANY politician who is not compromised. Trump is the one wild card because of his independence from the Uniparty. That makes him a target.
If all elected representatives were required to be completely transparent with complete financial audits every year showing the public where ALL their money came from, I seriously doubt you would find even one representative that is not profiting from the plandemic genocide.
Texas AG Ken Paxton was hot on the vax trail, which is almost certainly why he was shampeached and put in timeout. But he's baaaa-ack. I post this every chance I get because it's true: "No man in the wrong can stand up against a fellow that's in the right and keeps on a-comin'" (Bill McDonald, old-school Texas Ranger).
Dr. David E. Martin you are a true hero!! And, so are you Politico Phil for sharing this link!! Our prayers are being answered. Good always triumphs over evil.
Phil I shared your comment with this essential video on another forum with credit to you. Thank you for bringing this extraordinarily important video to light.
@Politico Phil even with everything we now know, this was shocking. Their plan was so bold and public. As Iām watching it, Iām thinking, āmy loved ones will not believe this.ā Itās so hard to wrap my mind around such evil. God help us šš»
Thank God for this man, praying for those that truly put their lives on the line, for safety and safe keeping. If we could only get the ones that need to see. Ears to hear and eyes to see.
Just quickly because this has been on my mind and I wanted to see what C&Cersā take is on this. I was chatting with some acquaintances the other day and they mentioned the brand Shein and wondered if Iād heard of it. I said yes but that I donāt buy from that brand because I have heard they use slave labor or quasi slave labor to make their clothing . And I refuse to support that. Well the people just glossed right over my comment and said how cute and cheap the clothes are and what Iād said didnāt seem to bother them at all š These people are all āniceā churchgoing Christians. I guess I was just floored by how little they seemed to react about the working conditions for the people making their inexpensive cute clothing š Itās really disappointing.
Sometimes that sort of thing takes a while to really sink in. I seem to remember Wilberforce taking those "nice Christian" groups on tours of actual slave ships - to show them the sorts of stuff done so they could get their cheap sugar. Public sentiment took some big turns as he just exposed the slave trade over and over for the evil that was involved.
The same would probably need to be done today for awareness.
The University of Pittsburgh took scalps from dead (or maybe alive) aborted babies and the sewed them onto the backs of mice.
"science"
When the story first broke, I contacted several predominately black churches in the area because Pitt's request was for minority dead/alive baby parts.
I knew the local news stations would not cover the story.
When did they do this?? We have current ties to Pitt. Repugnant š” I also saw recently that someone there is working on uterine transplants into men, so they can "have babies". Because equity and compassion.
Wait. WHY? We have been told men can have babies. As long as they are wearing female clothes that is. Who knew an A-line skirt could be so dang magical!
In a lot of those countries, what we consider "slave labor" is a decent job for them. In some of those countries families who can't support themselves with a real job have to resort to the sex trade in order to feed their family.
Except these are slaves where they are locked in and cannot leave. Not just paid a wage we would not work for. Nike, Apple, Shein... shameless pigs. Users of the most desperate people. The world and it's love for cheap once again turns their head.
There's a reason they say information is dangerous. Good for your kiddo! I am a little shocked they allowed debate class. Didn't they proclaim everything is settled?
Yes itās not āslave laborā because of low wages compared to US wages, itās slave labor because they are forced to work and the conditions are horrific.
I said something similar to my leftist sister (who is a nominal Christian, but only bothers to attend church on occasion and sorts through the Bible, disregarding the things God got wrong.). She just snorted, like I was such an idiot for even thinking about it.
Yeah when you walk into Dollar Tree (now One and a Quarter Tree) you gotta think out into the real world who is making this stuff. I am going to do that more.
the only thing I buy at dollar stores is cat and dog food. they are the same cans but cheaper than in the regular store - at least some! One has to watch out now that the dollar stores have upgraded.
I used to buy cat food at such stores. Problem: My cats wouldn't eat it. I would donate the food to a local animal shelter. Other than educating myself on the dodgy quality of what's sold at these stores, one good thing resulted: I started volunteering at that shelter.
great ! my cats weird enough, refuse the expensive food a friend gave me for them. It had been donated for the rescues but they did not want it either! (I buy the same brand food as in the regular store - and sometimes it is cheaper there, now the dollar stores are no longer dollar stores)
Yeah that is shocking. Ditto for Apple and a few others. People try to escape their facility by hurling themselves over barbed wire fences and then die. Nike uses uigur slaves - yes they are slaves to make their products. I will never own their products, will not resell them from my closet or give them to charity. I do not want to see the brands on anyone. Thank you for posting about Shein.
Where can we shop? I try to use Public Square as much as possible, but it seems our options are very few if we really look at where and how products are made.
There's an article somewhere on SubStack about Public Square that it's a problem to track down who the actual vendors are. They're supposed to be tied to people who want to support businesses who aren't woke, but it's not possible to verify who these vendors really are. Be careful where you spend your money.
I use Prime and it kills me. I can't stand Bezos. I justify it to myself by thinking of the time I save not running around all over town after work, getting the items I need to run my household, but the truth is, my money is going to support a man I despise and his expensive madam.
Yes, I worry even when I use Public Square. I try to track down where products are made, but itās not always possible. Itās not reasonable to think Public Square wouldnāt be infested with bad actors posing as USA first patriots to some degree. Mostly Iām trying to cut my buying period. But the crooked, evil Amazon machine gets plenty of our money too, sad to say.
US based textile and clothing production has been on the decline for many generations. Exceptions exist, like Warren Buffet's purchase of a languishing textile mill named Berkshire Hathaway but that's a rather special instance š¤Ŗ
While youāre busy painting folks with broad brushstrokes, donāt forget that there are plenty of āgoodā non-Christians out there too. Fair is fair.
Thatās such a sad way to put it ā¦.itās better than that portrayal.
To paint a literary picture,
itās more like a legendary taleā¦where humans are cursed under the dragon, owned under a blood contract, Moral, law-abiding or not, OWNED .
But, a blood sacrifice was given freely by a Savior that breaks the curse and releases those that call on his name from the contract of slavery & death .
Itās a story of hope, redemption, & reconciliation.
So easy. But so hard for some to believe as truth .
That has absolutely nothing to do with my point, my point was that these people are supposed to be about caring for their fellow men yet seemingly shrug off this mistreatment š I was alluding to their hypocrisy. So please donāt extrapolate from what I said to imply something different. By no means did I imply that non Christians donāt or canāt care about their fellow men, or that they canāt be āgoodā people.
Just realized I may have misunderstood your comment. I only picked on them because I am bothered by hypocrisy. I also point it out with leftists who supposedly care about āthe poor and oppressedā but have no problems with their electric car batteries produced using materials mined by children in Africa.
But Iām this specific example, I was talking with churchgoing Christians.
Churchgoing doesn't equal regenerate. Now if these were people who, when asked their "brand" or denomination of Christianity, replied they were followers of Christ you could then be properly surprised at their lack of concern over how their goods are made. No indwelling Spirit, no good.
Remember that scene from the 1994 version of Little Women when Meg goes to the ball at Sally's (was that her name?) and is wearing the plain blue cotton frock and when told in no uncertain terms it just won't do she says "you know they use little children in the mills!" and Sally says "the poor are always with us....you are so good to remind us". Remember the expression on her face?! And the tone of her voice? She _is_ these people. I think of that scene a lot lately.
People also don't know what to believe. Having some clear evidence to show might help, but then that usually didn't work for Covd..
Still, I can say it would work for me. Show me something like this is true rather than heresay and I will listen. We have gotten used to the left making false sympathy cases for issues when they are actually supporting the bad things they say they are against. So I think some good people close their minds, but will respond to truth over time.
Yes, I see how that is really disturbing. Sounds like it did not sink in whatsoever, hence no empathy that surely they would feel if they met the laborers face to face.
If you or others on this thread have good resources for learning more on this issue, please share. Also, if you know some good ideas, what can we do that makes a difference?
I donāt have time today unfortunately to gather all that information of links but will try to come back here if I can or post another day in the comments.
I think it was ok for these acquaintances to not take what you said at face value, that is how we got into this Covid mess by accepting what the gov't was saying at face value. Also saying "I heard", instead of "I read" or "I have discovered" lessens the statement's impact. I think the preferable response by them would have been 'how did you find that out?' or 'where can I confirm that info?'. At the very least, hopefully you gave them food for thought and it may spur them to research information, not to be 'sheeple'
Oh I have no problem with them not taking it at face value. I am happy to have them research it on their own and decide. My problem was with the seeming complete lack of interest or curiosity in what I told them. I am not asking anyone to believe what I say without checking for themselves. They just didnāt react at all. Completely ignored what I said. Just paused a second then went on about how cute and cheap the clothes are š
That was my main disappointment. I would never ask someone to accept something I said on blind faith. Especially people who donāt really know me and would have no reason to necessarily believe what I tell them. But having no interest, no curiosity, seemingly no desire to look into something, especially something regarding other human beings being mistreatedā¦ THAT really bothered me š Just look the other way and pretend it isnāt happening š
He doesnāt need the IRS to embarrass him, he has done a pretty good job at that himself (maybe one of the few things in his life heās done a good job at besides getting illicit funds).
Maybe the American people need to sue HIM for embarrassing US!
First, please, *please* don't mistake this for an answer or rationale or anything aimed at absolving this person.
Imagine being born the child of the scumbag that is Robert L. Peters. That child never knew a day of love in his life. Not from his father. I have no clue about his mother, but look who she was married to. Who knows how he was traumatized. We've heard Peters showered with his tween or teen daughter. Ugh. Trauma.
This is a wounded child in an adult body. He never grew up. He's still crying out for help, but will also refuse it at every turn.
That said, a grown man who doesn't take responsibility for his actions or learn from his life experience gets hit from a lot of angles by real life. The reckoning.
I can understand why the guy has problems. Arrested development. Doesn't excuse his behavior. Just provides me some insight. Sad. But no, as an adult you can't behave like a child and rail against the consequences. Doesn't work that way. I doubt he'll ever grow up, or get sober, even inside a prison cell. Oh well. Time for some reckoning.
You are far kinder than I am. I can't muster up any sympathy for a person who has destroyed not only the people in his personal circle, but who has put our entire country at risk by criminally associating with one of the most corrupt countries on earth.
I totally hear you. Sympathy is conditional and limited to some understanding on origin of the dude's problems. Not excusing behavior in any way. It's about time for a reckoning. For the whole bunch, and I don't mean just this family.
The Biden family is completely dysfunctional and crooked. They must believe this is how the privileged get to do things.
Joe was always an enabler dad.
Beau was the hero, Hunter an also-ran.
Joe never said no to his sons. especially Hunter. Joeās daughter has been sexually abused.
Hunter is rebellious, and knows that no matter what Pops will always get him out of jams. Including now.
Joe always āprovidedā for his sibs and kids with shady dealings. So that he didnāt get caught, he had the money go to family accounts and charged them back half. All documented.
Joe gets his own funds other ways. Multiple homes are a popular money laundering scheme.
It is family knowledge that Pops is a pedo, expressed by Hunter to his family.
Joe had an affair with Jill before Joeās wife died then married Jill.
Hunter had an affair with Beauās wife.
I donāt see a sad child. I see an entitled narcissist, above the law.
The thing that is sad is Joe is the patriarch of all of this family misery and criminal activity. The kids were born into it and believe that is how to live. Joe even assists and enables Hunter becoming the next gen āprovider.ā
Oh, yes. The behavior is generational. Learned. Even if in response to emotional, psychological or physical abuse/trauma. No one is absolved. I just armchair see the second generation origins. I don't know pedo Joe's origins. He's an oily scumbag. Another psychopath. I learned recently that psychopaths are born that way; sociopaths are formed by environment. Both are toxic and destructive so it doesn't make much difference in the play. I have a feeling the second generation were formed by their experience. No slack cut for any of them. Never said that. Only see how sad it is for the second gen. It's done. No turnarounds likely. Ha! Nope, it's time -past time! for the reckoning.
Thanks for the explanation on the Chevron doctrine. This potential overturn is the only thing in the past couple of years that actually gives me some hope for our country.
My granddaughters' elementary Catholic School dress code does not allow nail polish or jewelry, but Fetterman can get away with looking like a bum in the Senate. Have some respect.
Clothing DOES matter. I raised my daughters to dress appropriately for the occasion. One tends to feel/behave differently in more formal as opposed to casual attire. Our present society is losing it's grip and my guess is pushback is coming right around the corner š¤š
With regard to the Gretchen Whitmer FBI led & DOJ enforced kidnapping scam charges that the defendants were just acquitted of, I grew up in Michigan and spent 12 years worth of weekends and summers driving up north to Antrim County (Mancelona specifically) where that trial was held. IMHO, Antrim County residents are salt of the earth folks, who work hard and play hard. In other words, they represent 'Merica! :) In November 2020, a "glitch" in the election tabulation software first gave Antrim County to Bob Peters, but was later "fixed" and the voters' votes were correctly given back to President Trump. Watching Mlive political coverage of my former home state during election night and days later, I never believed for a moment that Antrim County went blue, but boy did the powers that be want it to be that way. In the end, Antrim County went 61.1% Trump, 37.4% Biden. That this trial was held in Antrim County and that a jury of these Defendants' peers found *unanimously* that they were not guilty, warms my heart to no end. If one believes the percentages from the 2020 election, the good people of Antrim County certainty seem to see through the smoke, mirrors, and B.S. quite clearly, perhaps thanks in no small part to the "glitch" and issues that clouded their voting preference results three years ago and because of how Whitmer, Peters, etc., have continued to run their state and our country. Bravo Antrim County citizens!!
I am still in Michigan and the only reason there was even a semblance of election scrutiny in this state was because an Antrim county clerk noticed the error and made it public. Then the forces that be did a sham investigation and even the Republicans in the state legislature said, āNothing to see here, except a mistakeā, and the county clerk was āforced/coerced/paid offā, to say she made a mistake and sweep the whole issue under the rug. Biden did not win the state of Michigan and we all knew it, but could question nothing. Blame it on the captured media and our corrupt governing bodies. Some day the truth will win out.
Michiganās AG is as corrupt as our Governor. Elected along with the Governor and SoS in 2018. The perfect tyrannical triumvirate. When covid hit in 2020, all evil was revealed. CoVid was all about the 2020 election.
"In addition to recommending against the shots for anyone healthy under 65, the guidance also requires providers ti discuss the risks even with patients 65 and older who want the shots."
--------
Love how Florida is ACTUALLY following the science. This is what I mean when I say we should stop worrying about the Presidential elections and rather focus on winning our states. The more states we win, the better our Country is:
Wonāt it be a great day when the shots arenāt recommended to anyone? Period. Full stop. It would be so nice to call the pharmacy for a script refill and not have to listen to the BS recording of the available shots. Wouldnāt it be a miracle if the horrible vax shot could take down the annual ineffective flu shot and all the harmful childhood vaccines along with it? Maybe thatās one positive we can see in this, that many have had their eyes opened to the dangers of all vaxes.
Amen to that, but it is chilling watching all these commercials on with the football games this weekend. They are REALLY pushing them right now. Such a strange thing to do with Damar Hamlin as Exhibit A.
I noticed that. I'm working on a post about subliminal advertising. Not only are those jerks pushing this garbage, but they are being exceptionally manipulative.
I might suggest you switch to an independent pharmacy if you can, most donāt put you on hold to listen to their propaganda. Also, chain pharmacies incentivize pharmacists to push ā shotsā ( not all chains, but some) . Independent pharmacists often do not vaccinate because we are too busy filling scripts and actually counseling patients! Just my personal experience. šš
I only used two pharmacies, both are independent. Unfortunately the one in our local grocery store has that stupid recording also. The other doesnāt and Iād use them for everything except that theyāre a little more expensive. Yes, I quit the chain stores because theyāre propaganda 24/7.
Every time CVS has me fill out a survey, I complain about those ads (I rarely go there anymore but sometimes itās the only option). The local store managers always send me back a somewhat whiny email saying that they donāt determine that policy, corporate does. It must really rub them the wrong way, so I keep doing it. Maybe at some point itāll have an effect š
I like how they phrased it āwho want the shots.ā Like they acknowledge there are Covidians out there who are almost addicted to getting the jabs and wonāt listen to anyone who tells they they might not need them.
I just feel for the children though who don't have a choiceš But it's better than taking away parental rights I suppose.... can't have it both ways.
When the shots were offered at my workplace, I asked a fellow employee what kind of "informed consent" was given. She said there was absolutely nothing said or written that resembled informed consent of any sort.
I was glad to see Paxton acquitted, but I think the main moment for the impeachment was the day or two before when Paxton called on Speaker Phalen to resign because his behavior was atrocious. Add in that he was also working on some things going against the transitioning/abuse of minors in addition to the C19 shots and there are all sorts of reasons the impeachment was fast-tracked.
Sadly, that also exposed a ton of RINOs in the TX house. Far too many jumped on board. There's also some hints that the impeachment was retaliation of a sort for beating a Bush in the primary. Texas voters sent a clear message that they didn't want another Bush in a position of power.
I'm glad to see Florida's guidance now pushing _actual_ risks and I'd consider forwarding to some of my family who would line up for the next booster for "safety" but as others have noted - some people are just all-in on mRNA shots and refuse to see the problems or evidence that they might not be helpful. :(
"Finally, I can promise the Biden Administration the following: buckle up because your lawless policies will not go unchallenged. We will not allow you to shred the constitution and infringe on the rights of Texans. You will be held accountable.
I will next address the nation and Texas on Tucker Carlson next week. Now it is back to work!"
Paxton is the Man! Now where the hell is my FL AG????? It's time for Ashley Moody and all the AGs to man-up and get in the fight!! Enough of the theatrics.
And I saw a snippet of Fox Sunday morning and the talk was of the split in the Texas GOP showing up in the Paxton trial. I hate the term RINO, and why do Dems never go against the party?
Why do you dislike the term 'RINO?' To me, it describes someone who is registered Republican but who disagrees with much of our party platform. Perhaps we could also call them 'Cafeteria Republicans?'
I dislike the moniker RINO because it was put out there by the very Uniparty Republicans who have been selling us out for years. It implies that their term just sprang up organically overnight when Trump was elected. There was/is a Swamp in our Nations Capitol and we just realized how oozy it was in 2020. The Democrats are a solid front, they never deviate, but the split is in the GOP. I wonāt let any group decide who I should trust.
Inside the Republican Party of Florida, I can tell you that MAGA people use the term, to the extreme irritation of the Cafeteria Republicans who don't actually support the party platform. (There's a swamp in Tallahassee, too.). I think there's more split in the Democrat Party than they let on, too. They have excellent party discipline in Congress and probably in state legislatures, but their electorate is beginning to tire of, e.g., trans and alphabet porn. RFK, Jr., has the highest favorable and lowest unfavorable ratings of any of the current candidates, and I don't think it's from unfamiliarity with him, any more than for some of the other candidates. Biden has the opposite. I think the more open division and power struggle between the Cafeteria and the MAGA Republicans is a good thing. The Cafeterias need to realize that their domination is just about over.
We have to change our perspective. The "Parties" became none-existent a long time ago. There is only one, the Uniparty. The Dem/Rep game is only to keep us plebs fooled into thinking we actually have a choice. They fear Trump because he is financially/politically independent of the Uniparty. The last time we had an independent President was JFK and he was killed by the CIA for it.
This is the crux of the matter. Until people wake up to the political theater, that the real perpetraitors [sic] behind the show, the puppetmasters, are hidden, the bickering among ourselves and worthless voting (at least federal if not state and possibly local) will continue.
Who said something like, If voting made any difference they would make it illegal -? It wasn't Mark Twain or a satirist, despite the truth in terseness. An industrialist? A politician? I don't remember. It's the truth though.
"There is only one, the Uniparty."
Biden this, Trump that; DeSantis this, Newsom that. It makes no difference. Yes, even Trump. Upend me into a trash can.
When in the course of human events... it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government...
IMO we're there. At least, we need to clean house and start over on that count.
Absent the foolproof screening tool for integrity, new personnel might not be as successful an endeavor as I'd like to think. Could buy us some time, though. I'm thinkin some level of overhaul indeed will take place. I'm no psychic, I don't know how it will unfold. Just, with as major an upheaval as is in motion with all the truths coming out, the existing personnel in Washington (at least) cannot stay, particularly once (affirming ā) the top of the cabal's pyramid are exposed. EVERYthing will change. In 10-15 years we'll barely recognize the place.
Armchair. Actually, the 100 miles up view. But what do I know, really? From 100 miles up? *sidles away...
Good lord, you would hope THIS would be the thing that would finally wake these brain dead cities up. But then most don't read history books, so maybe not.
I'm 65, soon to be 66. After the last three years I will not consider taking flu shots anymore. I am not hesitant, I am convinced I can no longer trust the CDC, FDA, NIH, Vaccine makers regardless of who they are and I have big doubts about my own doctor when it comes to vaccines. This Senior has no desire to be the latest guinea pig. Based on the data from medicare and people dedicated to the truth, seniors did not fare to well after the jabs in-spite of the media hype. This Senior and my husband knew the minute they said lockdown it was a blatant lie.
ERRATA:
ā "Roper" corrected to "Loper"
You know... when you were pulling a funny a few days ago I think it got in your head and now you are randomly doing the funny. Which is funny. What you SHOULD say instead of "ERRATA" is "Solly no Solly". Then you can finally drop the mic and exit.
If Iām elected to the Senate, Iām not going to wear pants...
And you wonāt have to think. Just find out who is offering the biggest payoff for the legislation theyāve already written.
You donāt need pants for that.
When you are voting for a Congressional Rep or a U.S. Senator you are not voting for a person who will write laws. Your rep only votes on legislation to approve or disapprove of constructs that are written by outside groups and sold to them through lobbyists who work for those outside groups.
Yup. My understanding of this must be credited to Sundance who wrote a long piece about this over the weekend.
Sundance has often said he doesn't care about the credit and to share freely. He isn't the only one to have educated people about lobbyists, my politicians have said it. Just saying. It is nice to give credit where due, I agree w/that.
Was Sundance wearing pants when he wrote it?
Which is NOT what our progenitors had in mind when they created the "legislative" branch of our system of checks and "balances". Right about now--I'd say we are horribly UNbalanced! When did Executive Orders become the norm for "legislating" in our country anyway?? Anybody know for certain??
Pretty sure it was Obummer who brought it to a whole ānutherā level with his āphone and pen.ā
NOPE-after I wrote that, W.S., I did an online search and found a chart listing ALL of the Executive Orders written by each POTUS since before WW I--guess who wrote the most? FDR wrote over 3,400 of them (Obummer only wrote a bit over 300) and good old "Pappy Joe" has only written 160 or so in the past 2 1/2 years!) Second Place award on Executive Orders goes to Teddy Roosesvelt at a bit over 1,800 (looks like the Roosevelts have Executive Order FERVOR--or FEVER!
I just hope Lindsey Graham doesnāt start wearing chaps to work.
That old fox.
Being an old pro about being an utter snake, Miss Lindsey managed to get himself āsort ofā inside the heroes circle of persecuted MAGA (with no real danger of any sacrifice). And of course he is attempting to fundraise off his ānear missā.

If you didn't see this it was epic...now I like two lawyers you and this guy! š
Buzbee was worth his weight in GOLD - and now Paxton has been exonerated! My friend in TX said it was another witch hunt--like what 45 and 18 "co defendants" are going through RIGHT NOW!!
It was brilliant!
Awww, I liked it. As in, āI saw what you did thereā¦ā
Gift Cards to Fetterman, for a wardrobe upgrade?
That idea is funny as heck (assuming he "gets it", understands the point) ..... but I wouldn't waste a dime on the guy. Better places for my deflated dollars.
It galls me to think of sending my hard-earned money to that brain-dead cheater.
What is it about being mentally brain dead that you canāt wear a suit? Whatās the connection?
Iād be showing up in a Speedo and flip flops until chuckles Schumer got the message. Maybe add a propeller beanie on Fridays.
Oh! My eyes! Aaaaaaaaagh!
Oh my aching eyes...just the image is too much. Please stop. š¤£š¤£š¤£
Put the Turtle in that outfit.
Why wear a suit? Just too much trouble.
Knowing how to dress yourself is very complicated these days, apparently š¤Ŗš¤£
A zipper and all those buttons are WAY over Fettermans head! And a tie, forgettaboutit!
He def would pick Oreos!
Maybe Fetterman is confused and actually thinks he is now retired. I know immediately upon retirement, I lost all interest in zippers and buttons.
Recently on C&C there were women ranting about how they would never where panty hose again. It seems that casual Friday has turned into casual everyday. There was a time when dress codes evoked respectfullness for the occasion, be it school, church or work. When one was "dressed up" their behavior was relective of how they were dressed. Carrying oneself with confidence, assurance and conviction calls forth trust and respect from others. How is this seen as a bad thing? By the way, I hate panty hose too, but still wear them when the ocassion deems it appropriate.
I'll never wear panty hose again either.
I agree šÆ with your post. When I go to church visiting my family in the NE, ofcourse I will wear pantyhose with my skirt or dress. Here in South florida, I wear dresses and skirts without unless it is a super cold night and I have to dress up.
Never the less, it is nice dressing a bit even with pants..a blazer, collared or a pretty blouse and heels with pants, can elevate any look.
That was me and I still think pantyhose is ridiculous. Itās like your skin but not š I could even go for tights if people felt like a womenās lower limbs being seen might be inappropriate š± But pantyhose is just dumb. Also because it invariably gets snags and runs and THAT looks even more inappropriate and slovenly than bare legs.
š¤£š¤£
....maybe the zipper is too complicated ?
There has to be some reason he can't wear a suit and can only wear exercise clothing? What is it?
Well, with his reduced mental capacity, he probably can't work buttons, or the zipper....and the belt buckle, faaagetttaboutittt! Oh, and don't even dream of cufflinks! And all the ties would have to be clip-on....and that's probably too difficult to figure out too....
It is his schtick, he wore that outfit before his stroke. Lizzy Fauxcahontas always in her jacket and pants, the Beast in her draperies and Mao outfits, Botox and her lapel pins, Mad Max and her lipstick, Sheila Jackson Lee w/her birds nest on top of her head.
I'm wondering if it is the tie choking effect. Suit. Tie. Choke. Strangle. Death.
At least that way they could blame a case of SADs on the tie š
Send the gift cards to Chucky to donate to Featherbrain. Maybe that would send a message to both to quit lowering the bar. Next will probably be required courses on how to speak and understand garbled, disjointed sentences, spoken by many in government, top down.
I think instead we should encourage all the senators to dress like Fetterman until the new rule change is abandoned.
Look around...everyone is dressing down...the look is appealing to the masses who seem to have lost any desire to effort themselves to be presentable....just another downward spiral in our damaged culture. There has to be a balance some where and some how!
This is a real problem that clearly show declining standards all across the board, IMHO. Idiocracy levels of cultural norms are evolving rapidly. While itās certainly true that at various times elitism created ridiculous highfalutin cultural norms that were clearly idiotic as well, the pendulum is swinging so far in the other direction that we will eventually end up treating one another with utter disregard that anyone else matters at all. Good manners are important; especially in raising children.
Dress like you mean business.
100% agree!
Clothes communicate both consciously and unconsciously. The less capable/serious our congress looks...then the more capable/serious the globalist WHO/WEF will appear...making it easier to worm on in and take over. Bet'ya THEY won't be dressing down...
Manners, courtesy and consideration seem to be becoming lost norms.
As to dress codes...
we seem to have totally forgotten the word APPROPRIATE as to what to wear where/when. š
I'm still shocked at what folks wear to church these days.
Iām still shocked at what people wear to Walmart, lol
at least they go to church
I saw a young lady commenting on dressing nicely for church: said it was because of Christian Nationalism. Had to look it up.
Oh seriously ššš Like math and being on time is white supremacy too apparently ššš
Broken windows, no different.
I think you can blame that on the west coast. Out here we are very casual. I find itās actually a relief to know I donāt have to get ādressed upā to go to the grocery store, etc, as we are more than our appearance and itās unhealthy to be that obsessed. But I do think certain places should uphold standards of dress. I would hate to lose that entirely.
I agree that sometimes too much emphasis is placed on being dressed a certain way but weāve really gone far too much in the other direction imo š
That's a slippery slope, isn't it...what rational could be applied to decide where to draw the line? What standards would be held where...?
I wonder if "formal night" on the cruise ships is still a thing? That was so much fun 15-20 years ago.
I'd love to wear dresses, but have you priced dresses? I'm allowed, in a sane world, to want to wear dresses because I'm female. Unapologetically
There are millions of beautiful dresses in the resale shops for astoundingly low prices. Some still have the tags on them. I love looking like a female and not a slug.
šÆ
I normally think that dress codes are stupid, but basketball shorts on the senate floor? No. Thatās appalling. Iād pony up a few bucks to see all the women in short-shorts and all the men in wife beaters until itās over. Can you imagine all those pasty octogenarian limbs? *shudder*
I also donāt like dress codes in principle because they have been used to enforce upper class domination of certain jobs and places. They are often very arbitrary. But I also feel like weāve gone too far in the direction of casualness and tolerance. I always dress professionally for work and even at conferences because I do think presentation is important and I feel more put together when I am wearing a jacket and skirt rather than a cardigan and dress pants. There are different levels of being well dressed of course, but people have gotten so slovenly. Itās now almost a point of prideārather than being cause for shame as in the past. Then, even the poorest people tried to make themselves as well dressed and presentable as possible and had at least one nice outfit for church and special occasions.
Iām not so opposed to dress codes. They often serve a good purpose, as in the practice of most private schools having uniforms. I remember my granddaughters going off to school in their cute little plaid skirts and red cardigans. They had numerous options, but the point is that nobody dressed in outlandish waysā¦up or down. The senate could learn something from kindergarteners.
Back in the day (1970's-80's) I worked at a Savings and Loan that had a dress code. They supplied all of the clothing which saved me a ton of money, was a great assortment with accessories and everyone in town knew where we worked. We were walking advertisements.
Iām not completely opposed. They have their uses. Just a little wary of them.
That's a good point and a reason we really should encourage it because then maybe people will realize how old these people are.
Monday: Pajama Dayā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.because you woke up late.
Tuesday: Super Hero Costume Dayā¦ā¦..because Senators became Senators because they believe in Superheroes
Wednesday: Garage Sale/thrift store dress up dayā¦ā¦so you can look like Fetterman
Thursday: Free clothing received from Lobbyists Dayā¦ā¦ā¦because why pay for stuff when sponsors will give it to you for free
Friday: Other Senators ādress alikeā dayā¦ā¦ā¦.because everyone wants to look like Nancy Pelosi or Diane Feinstein every once in a while
Too funny!
yes, or WORSE; push the envelope; no shirt no shoes, overalls like they all take MAGA voters for anyway, or Amish Heritage Appreciation garb; let the media go nuts over it; why not YOGA Pants on your Dem Senators as well UpChuck Schumer?
Theyāll all be wearing camo fatigues soon. Ammo belts and armor. Example: Fidel
Yea, no kidding. IDK tho, the elite don't seem like the camo type.
Some of them no doubt sense they should.
Please don't gross me out, seeing all the senators dressed like Fetterman, yuck
No. I think there should be an intelligence test to run for office
Pennsylvania cheated.
Kathleen I think you are right, but this man should have been removed because he is severely handicapped. If so, I suppose dr. whatshisname would have become the only candidate. Would that have been better? I thought from reading some of his articles, that he was a fake doctor, but it seems he is a real medical doctor. God forbid, does he have patients? I would not go there if he were the last dr on earth
That's an important job, right?
The man, and I wish him well, has NO business is such a position of immense responsibility to the public. It is heinous.
totally agree. I think everyone in political positions should be examined by some trustworthy mds (if there are any left) before even being on a ballot. If something serious happened like to Fetterman, the voting could be halted until either the candidate is able to serve, or immedately be replaced. Same with that woman from CA, how in the world can she still serve? bad enough as is for the healthy members of the govt, let go these handicapped retirees (which brings up another theme - age ! I think both biden and trump are too old)
Some suspect that his formerly illegal alien wife is really running the show.
What it feels like, is that the inmates ( or those that SHOULD SOON BE) are running the asylum/govt.
Well, someone else certainly is running the show - just like certain other politicians. They are useful as front men/place holders.
My position.Her grin is informative.
that would explain the sometimes absurd articles. he would do good examining them before they get posted though. this cannot be good for his reputation as a doctor. and if he is the one writing them, his licence should be revoked. of course with the new 'science,' one never knows!
Feinstein in CA is a disgrace at this point. She is a Democrat placeholder and others tell her how to vote. She is 90 and has been in the Senate for 31 years. There have been dementia rumors for years, but the Dem fools in CA keep voting for her. After all, it's "her" seat. Until she dies. Rumor has it that the Dems want Adam Schiff to get her seat until HE dies.
They have nothing to retire from as they do no actual work.
Democrat fools + fraudulent ballots to insure the win.
Yes. Which he won't if it's before the end of her term. Goodhair already promised it to someone that would be difficult to push out of the way should Feinstein resign before the end.
recently I saw how someone else put her finger on where to vote. a disgrace indeed! another proof that voting is not what it is. How can someone vote for Fetterman and feinstein? or is it because both are jewish?
Whatās so weird is that decades ago I remember really energetic and functional OLD members of both chambers in Congress. I do not recall ever seeing ANY impaired members. I know there is far more publicly available visibility now through all of the information channels available to us (just recalled how the media covered for Kennedy and FDR), so likely that is a factor. But still, age never seemed to play a role in an officialās ability to perform their duties.
As for age limits, I say āpshawā. Because I am a member of a 55+ cooperative very active community, I see the wide variation in how people are doing whether they are 103 (yes!) or 55. One of our members just completed a hike up one of the Yosemite landmarks (I think Half Dome) for his 90th birthday, heās as sharp as a tack.
Frankly I think the focus needs to be on health. Oh, and this current disgrace in Congress? We can thank the Peters family - especially the matriarch- for allowing the patriarch to make a fool of himself with his obvious cognitive decline during the 2020 campaign.
But he is easy to direct in his incapacitated state.
This comment applies to several of 'em, these days.
The Senate Care Home For The Elderly.
Very apt description. Next to the Senior Care Whitehouse for the Criminally Insane.
We were put into a difficult position...lots of folks were pissed because Trump endorsed Oz.
At least Dr Oz, is sane & is able to talk coherently & dress himself, which I understand are not qualification for the job. Which they should be.
Dr Oz's biggest handicap (and cost him at least all the Greek votes) was that he is Turk. Pity some Greeks are wear blinders
That is so silly! They should think about America not their old homeland. Oz is an American .
That is as silly as Victoria Nulands Russia hate because of her grandparents.
Like I said āblindersā
And let's not forget he is an Oprah-made celebrity.
I like him and respect his medical wisdom which doesnt go lockstep with Big Pharm. At the time Oprah introduced him to the public, Oprah and Trump were friends! People and politics were different in the 90s.
Yikes
Yep, Trump blew it on this one. And I am a Trump supporter.

To all those that say āPDJT SHOULDā, (or āshouldnātā) the responce is simple.
Start with $5 million from your Dad, and build an empire of over 1000 businesses, then with -0- political experience run for the highest office in the land, running AGAINST the RNC, the DNC, the I.C., the MSM, etc. and WIN.
Then, have the most productive Term in office of any POTUS, EVER despite constant undermining by the aforementioned powerful forces.
I could go on, but the punchline is THEN you can weigh in on what you think āPDJT SHOULD (or SHOULDNāT) do, with some degree of credibility.
Until then, opinions are like assholes, everubody HAS one, and at some point everybody IS one, just best to not display it, for all to see.
Right. That and the fast vaxx.
I adore Dr. Oz. He was a top cardiologist at the best hospital in NYC. (Columbia Presbyterian). I dont know why the media has done a Trump style hatchet job on him? He has some integrity. He said that hydrochloriquine was being used with success by colleagues in Turkey to treat early covid. I applaud him for that because he looked quite nervous and scared to say it.
thank you for correcting me. I suppose the column in the local newspaper is written by someone else using his name. He should really have refused to have his name on the nonsense that gets published in it.
Better than fester.
or Pennsylvania was cheated
PA has Fetterman and Casey - we are screwed.
PA (lived there for about 60 years) has always been Dem and will always be Dem because of Pgh and Philly (Philly more). Best advice... move. Florida is lovely and TN wasn't bad either!
Nah...I'm gonna stay and fight.
I wish the black community would get it through their heads that the Democrats are not their friends! They want to keep them down! There, I said it!!
Donāt hold your breath. Look at the breakdown of government employees by race. Thereās a reason they love BIG government.
No 'poop'.
He probably only knows his way to the Goodwill Store and gift cards to The Men's Warehouse would be waaay to confusing for him. I still think it is a body double.
He would have to be able to define a man first š
You are so right!
He must be one of the lower-echelon demons to have been assigned that particular body.
Love your comment!
Hell to the No! on sending a plugged Nickle to Fetterman.
I applaud the removal of the dress code for the senate . Now letās do it for the house. Why should they be showing up in their expensive suits, looking like theyāre involved in anything more serious than their lobbying deals and weekend plans?
Corporations write the legislation. Lobbyists buy the votes. The legislators cast the votes. With the constant fundraising pleas, have you ever thought, āWhat the hell, do we have to buy justice and good legislation?ā The answer is, āYes, we do. And the competition is quite stiff.ā
This article is a good piece for understanding how it works.
So, yeah, let āem show up in their shorts and flip-flops. Much more honest.

I think the $5 gift cards is a terrific idea. Making a joke out of Sen. Joke is a perfect way to respond to MSMās characterization of conservatives as being āfreaked outā over Fettermanās weirdness.
I think that it is unacceptable that such an exemption is allowed for him!!!
I was going to say that I wouldnāt give more than a $2. Gift card. Tops. I can remember back when the Democrats had a soul and Daniel Patrick Moynihan coined the term, ādefining deviancy downā. It was a phrase Rush loved and the practice is snowballing with the current group.
My thought was, "I wouldn't give him the shirt off my back."
(Maybe an old ratty tube top but not a shirt)
Absolutely. This was a deliberate cultural shift in my opinion, to undermine the importance and authority of men in society.
Forty years ago, my 90+ years old great-uncle was widowed and living alone. He had a good neighbor who delivered his groceries, and he never left the house, not even to see a doctor. I hadnāt seen him in a while, so I went to visit and rang his doorbell. He opened the door in a dark suit, white shirt, tie, and polished shoes, exactly how he was dressed every time I ever saw him. He didnāt recognize me at first. He glared and growled, āWhat can I do to you?ā Tough old bird went down fighting death and dressed like a gentleman every day to the very end.
...to undermine authority of both the person and of the office itself.
Exactly, erasing all distinctions erased identity. All the same is nothing different which eliminates the choice spectrum. Communists always raze everything to the ground, otherwise one cannot Build Back Better.
Here in Texas we were doing happy dances at Ken Paxtonās acquittal! No doubt a lot of the 4 million people who voted for him called in to voice their outrage at this sham impeachment. I certainly did! Finally - a successful push back against the cabal!
I keep hearing it said that the Bush era is deadā¦letās hope so!
I watched a few key witnesses and the closing arguments. The case against Paxton was terrible. They probably wasted millions of public money on their 17 prosecution attorneys.
Paxtonās defense attorney was serious. This impeachment case is historic.
He had an awesome defense team. If you havenāt seen the closing remarks of Lt. Governor Dan Patrick, it was epic!
https://youtu.be/8W7R6m9-dR4?si=XcAh3nMdn8BM3ypa
Iām proud to say that Rep. John Smithee who is quoted extensively in Patrickās statement, is our Rep.
It was excellent! And, I love that he's going one step farther by conducting a full audit.
And I hope Dade Phelan and the other rino's who started this witch hunt are chased out of town. I went to some of their fb sites and the comments are brutal. People in their districts are pissed and rightfully so.
This incident shined a light on who needs to get booted out. We now know them by their vote, ie., what theyāve done, not what they say. And start with Dade Phelan for sure!
Good! Glad to hear that!!
Did you see Texas Scorecard today? Survey question asked if Phelan should resign or get kicked out of the GOP. āTar, feather, ride out of state on a railā wasnāt an option.
I was so thrilled to read that good news and I donāt even live in Texas!!
RL, itās a win for all like-minded conservatives! Texas and more recently, Florida have led the way in conservative action. Hopefully this is just the beginning of a huge push back against the growing corruption in government. And Paxton has taken on the corrupt Xiden administration like no other. Within a day or two of the 2020 election he filed a suit to nullify the election, of course the Supreme Court said there was no standing for it. š
I sure hope and pray that is true!! (The huge pushback!)
Thank God for that acquittal. The Bush/Rove Cabal could not abide George P. Bush being defeated by Paxton. They will never forgive President Trump for demolishing !Jebās run, which was absurdly easy to do. They are Ron DeSantisā promoters!
Tribute to you radicals and mavericks:
Itās better to walk alone than with a crowd going in the wrong direction. āGandhi
Fear has two meanings - Forget Everything And Run or Face Everything And Rise. The choice is yours. āProverb
They laugh at me because I'm different. I laugh at them because they're all the same. āCobain
Fortunately, some are born with spiritual immune systems that sooner or later give rejection to the illusory worldview grafted upon them from birth through social conditioning. They begin sensing that something is amiss and start looking for answers. Inner knowledge and anomalous outer experiences show them a side of reality others are oblivious to, and so begins their journey of awakening. Each step of the journey is made by following their heart instead of following the crowd and by choosing knowledge over the veils of ignorance. āHenri Bergson
Romans 12.2:
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what Godās will isāhis good, pleasing and perfect will.
Mary, the best quotes usually come from the Bible.
āWithin the covers
of the Bible are the
answers for all the

āThink not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.ā
Another one from my Dad to his seven children (2 boys 5 girls)
āI would rather see you sitting on a log, alone, in the deep woods, than to see you in bad company.ā
Great advice from your dad! Thereās a French proverb that roughly translates to something similar: ābetter to be alone than in bad company.ā
hearty A-MEN to that!
That's great, thank you!
I definitely walked alone with one group of friends that I had...they all now have switched sides but it was super lonely for a while. Now, they donāt admit they were wrong, never, but they say things like āI would never take another shotā.
Pride will always be the longest distance between two friends. āUnknown
I have friends (few) who say that. For them I say "Good" and leave it at that. For those that shunned me and refused to let me ride with their vaxxed group to meetings, refused to be around me cuz I would not mask, screeched at me on the street for not masking, called me an idiot that would kill them all... Well I still wait for them to say they will never get another shot right in front of my face. The conversation will be interesting.
hate to say it, but you may die waiting
To me, that is admitting they were wrong.
Yes but not that satisfying haha!
These are great! (Though personally I am no admirer of Kurt Cobaināstill a good quote though).
I love this one and actually once gave a speech based on it:
Individuality is the salt of common life. You may have to live in a crowd but you do not have to live like it. Nor subsist on its food. You may have your own orchard. You may drink at a hidden spring. Be yourself if you would serve others.
Henry Van Dyke
That was beautiful. Thanks
Later Jay
Thank you! I found that quote many years ago and it āspokeā to me š
These are great! You make me think of one my friend repeats in his 12 Step program
"False evidence appearing real"
Fool's gold =)
Fear.
Seneca the Elder is one of the lesser known Roman writers. It was he (I think) that said something much like the FEAR comment above (approximately) "You may take Fate by the hand (or walk with her arm in arm) or be dragged along. The choice is yours."
Similar to the attack on TX AG Ken Paxton, did you see they're trying to silence anti-big-Pharma Russell Brand?
https://twitter.com/amuse/status/1703337647190474836
They're using the 'sexual assualts from long ago' playbook, just like Clearance Thomas, Trump, and Kavanaugh. They went to the media and not the police, right?
...Because if you go to the police you have to file a criminal complaint and then an affidavit. If you are lying you can go to prison.
Here's an example of why The Establishment wants to shut up Russell Brand: https://twitter.com/3D_Gav/status/1703383189471834453
The media and left project their own activities to accuse their enemies. The red-pilled people donāt even read these stories any more.
I recently read a smear on Assange, he supposedly would be a pedophile. I think if they can't find any legal fault, to start throwing mud at anyone
Remember the rape charges at least 10 years ago? I think they preceded his time in the Ecuador embassy.
Ecuador? for some reason I thought he was Australian. I have not followed any of his history to be honest. Only know how he got encarcerated for opening up some bags of dirt
I thought he was British, my understanding is that both GB and US have a vested interest in keeping him quiet, extradition battles have been going on for awhile. He lived (isolated from friends and family) in an embassy for years, I believe it was the Ecuador embassy. It was a few short years ago that he was "captured" or turned over to the Brits. Now he is in isolation at a prison in GB, can't recall name/location but it's well-known. I can't keep track of everything anymore, the system has been more than flooded, it's been tsunamied (Alinsky tactics).
now you got me curious ! I will have to look that up
wikipedia says he is Australian, a kind of nomad, and instead of being a pedophile, he seems to have helped police roll up a band of child porn people. He was a hacker and was convicted for that. He was in the Ecuadoran ambassy in the UK when Ecuador stopped giving him asylum so he got arrested there.
Guess I have to purchase some Russel Brand items today.
These type of cases are terrifying. They can go after anyone this way. We need new legislation.
Please, no more legislation. It can always be turned against us (Patriot Act, anyone?), it costs more of our money to administer and enforce, and outs more power in the government we are already oppressed by.
I think we need to shame the perpetrators of these smear campaigns. Good memes are a terrific place to start.
You canāt even comment on most news sites about these travestyās unless you are pro-āvictimā. Itās hard to make a difference. I have boys and would hate for something like this to happen to them from a jilted lover. I am for small government but this trend is ridiculous and has to stop. I know some of it is true but you should have to have the burden of proof.
Totally agree with you regarding burden of proof. And though I am not a parent, I empathize completely about your boys and your concern. These people have no regard for the ripple effects of their actions.
As for "victims" and accusations, Robert Barnes had choice words on the Viva Barnes video clip shared elsewhere in this thread, addressing the societal norms that I (VERY) regrettably had a hand in upholding during my younger years.
I still think shaming and naming, beginning with hot memes, is the way to start burning these evil people. El Gato Malo would be a great meme-maker in this regard, but they need to get shared on every social media platform and go viral. I am avoiding commenting on social media because of the AI crawlers (who are certainly viewing stack comments).
I scarcely know who Russel Brand is. But you're right about one thing: this is huge news in the UK tabloid press I scan daily. For whatever reason, yes his current infamy does seem right out of the standard playbook to dredge up skeletons from long ago, doesn't it?
A good discussion on Viva and Barnes about Russell Brand:

Heās a Fire Brand! šš
I knew it was a āsmearā the instant I saw it, on two Murdoch outlets: the Daily Mail and NY Post. My hubby showed me the Guardian version of the smear and I instantly unloaded in him about that far left IC propaganda rag. Okay it canāt be a rag anymore, for young readers itās a āmedia outletā. I prefer āragā.
Assange as well..
Yea, I've been wondering what is going on there.
Dr. David Martin just spoke to the EU for the second time on 9/13. Check it out here.....Not to be missed!
They only gave him 23 minutes and he kills it!
Dr. David E. Martin Calls For Total Destruction Of The World Health Organization (WHO) For Crimes Against Humanity & Bio-Terrorism (9/13/23 Speech):

āUntil we treat this as a criminal conspiracy, of criminal racketeers, resulting in global terrorism for the purpose of profiteering and murder; until we have that conversation, weāre having the wrong conversation.ā
He also exposes COVID as bio-weapon as part of his presentation.

EVERYONE needs to see this and SHARE, SHARE, SHARE!!
The C&C ARMY needs to multiply THIS!!
Holy cow!!! That video is mind blowing!!!! What we have all known but have not been able to prove!!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing this
If you haven't seen Dr. Martin's first presentation to the European Union, you should be able to find it on Rumble.
On Aug 22, he did a two hour interview with Brian Rose. In that interview, David is given time to completely lay out his entire case and it is worth every minute. "This Was An Act Of War Against The Human Race":

On Aug 23, David Martin did a one hour interview with Man in America where he explained why we should not fear the cabal because their plan has failed.
https://rumble.com/v3ayta4-dr.-david-martin-dont-fear-the-coming-lockdowns-the-cabal-is-already-dead.html
Amen the plan has failed.
Thank you so much. I have listened to a previous video of his speaking, but this one, I have not. And he does not mind any words!!! Why do you think that our elected representatives have not even mentioned any of this? Sweeping it under the rug as millions of people die!!! EVIL!
Exactly. The love of money is the root of all evil. Our entire political establishment is bought off and compromised. It is difficult to imagine ANY politician who is not compromised. Trump is the one wild card because of his independence from the Uniparty. That makes him a target.
If all elected representatives were required to be completely transparent with complete financial audits every year showing the public where ALL their money came from, I seriously doubt you would find even one representative that is not profiting from the plandemic genocide.
I agree! Charlie Kirk had a very good podcast today about the Paxton win and what all had been going on behind the scenes!
Texas AG Ken Paxton was hot on the vax trail, which is almost certainly why he was shampeached and put in timeout. But he's baaaa-ack. I post this every chance I get because it's true: "No man in the wrong can stand up against a fellow that's in the right and keeps on a-comin'" (Bill McDonald, old-school Texas Ranger).
When do we declare war on the Covidian generals and foot soldiers? Who has a battle plan?
So far, an unanswered question. I would start having conversations with your sheriff. He has the power.
Hmm. Great idea. He's a good man and a good 'ol boy too.
Shared on FB. As I am on OVER-lapping 90-day restrictions I donāt know how many will see it. but we shall see
Keep rattling cages and getting in faces, CStone! We need to get LOUD.
Dr. David E. Martin you are a true hero!! And, so are you Politico Phil for sharing this link!! Our prayers are being answered. Good always triumphs over evil.
This is excellent! Thank you for sharing!
Phil I shared your comment with this essential video on another forum with credit to you. Thank you for bringing this extraordinarily important video to light.
@Politico Phil even with everything we now know, this was shocking. Their plan was so bold and public. As Iām watching it, Iām thinking, āmy loved ones will not believe this.ā Itās so hard to wrap my mind around such evil. God help us šš»
This was excellent.
Thank God for this man, praying for those that truly put their lives on the line, for safety and safe keeping. If we could only get the ones that need to see. Ears to hear and eyes to see.
Just quickly because this has been on my mind and I wanted to see what C&Cersā take is on this. I was chatting with some acquaintances the other day and they mentioned the brand Shein and wondered if Iād heard of it. I said yes but that I donāt buy from that brand because I have heard they use slave labor or quasi slave labor to make their clothing . And I refuse to support that. Well the people just glossed right over my comment and said how cute and cheap the clothes are and what Iād said didnāt seem to bother them at all š These people are all āniceā churchgoing Christians. I guess I was just floored by how little they seemed to react about the working conditions for the people making their inexpensive cute clothing š Itās really disappointing.
Sometimes that sort of thing takes a while to really sink in. I seem to remember Wilberforce taking those "nice Christian" groups on tours of actual slave ships - to show them the sorts of stuff done so they could get their cheap sugar. Public sentiment took some big turns as he just exposed the slave trade over and over for the evil that was involved.
The same would probably need to be done today for awareness.
We need a modern-day Wilberforce to show these people what is done to aborted children in the name of "choice".
The University of Pittsburgh took scalps from dead (or maybe alive) aborted babies and the sewed them onto the backs of mice.
"science"
When the story first broke, I contacted several predominately black churches in the area because Pitt's request was for minority dead/alive baby parts.
I knew the local news stations would not cover the story.
No response back from the churches.
š¢š¢
When did they do this?? We have current ties to Pitt. Repugnant š” I also saw recently that someone there is working on uterine transplants into men, so they can "have babies". Because equity and compassion.
Wait. WHY? We have been told men can have babies. As long as they are wearing female clothes that is. Who knew an A-line skirt could be so dang magical!
Uterine transplants to trans people will be hidden under the guise of doing it for women and their reproductive rights.
http://bioethics.pitt.edu/event/ethical-issues-uterine-transplantation-and-innovative-research-reproductive-medicine
This, and the baby thing, is truly disturbing. Unfortunately it isn't limited to Pitt.
Here is the story link to the dead baby scalps sewn onto mice:

Highway billboards showing Congolese mining children?
The frozen expressions on the faces of Tesla drivers when I start talking about slave children mining cobalt for their car batteries...
Telling them to dig faster. (heavy sarcasm)
In a lot of those countries, what we consider "slave labor" is a decent job for them. In some of those countries families who can't support themselves with a real job have to resort to the sex trade in order to feed their family.
Except these are slaves where they are locked in and cannot leave. Not just paid a wage we would not work for. Nike, Apple, Shein... shameless pigs. Users of the most desperate people. The world and it's love for cheap once again turns their head.
My son researched Chinese slave labor for his debate club a couple years ago and convinced me to never buy another Nike product again.
There's a reason they say information is dangerous. Good for your kiddo! I am a little shocked they allowed debate class. Didn't they proclaim everything is settled?
I'm old enough to remember when we still had actual sweatshops in NYC. They weren't shut down until the 90s.
Yes itās not āslave laborā because of low wages compared to US wages, itās slave labor because they are forced to work and the conditions are horrific.
I have known a family of indeginous people here in the US like that
I said something similar to my leftist sister (who is a nominal Christian, but only bothers to attend church on occasion and sorts through the Bible, disregarding the things God got wrong.). She just snorted, like I was such an idiot for even thinking about it.
Caring and compassionate my a$$.
š Great visual! But I did misread disregarding into discarding.
Yeah when you walk into Dollar Tree (now One and a Quarter Tree) you gotta think out into the real world who is making this stuff. I am going to do that more.
the only thing I buy at dollar stores is cat and dog food. they are the same cans but cheaper than in the regular store - at least some! One has to watch out now that the dollar stores have upgraded.
I used to buy cat food at such stores. Problem: My cats wouldn't eat it. I would donate the food to a local animal shelter. Other than educating myself on the dodgy quality of what's sold at these stores, one good thing resulted: I started volunteering at that shelter.
great ! my cats weird enough, refuse the expensive food a friend gave me for them. It had been donated for the rescues but they did not want it either! (I buy the same brand food as in the regular store - and sometimes it is cheaper there, now the dollar stores are no longer dollar stores)
Or on AMZ... QIRDO inc, PJRSLGN store. etc.
Most people I know have iPhones and are totally oblivious to slave labor.
Are these the same "acquaintances" that behaved like the majority in Milgram's experiment for the last 3 years?
You mean āthe Good Germansā?
No. I meant the "good" bolsheviks.
Perhaps, I donāt really know them well enough to say. But I wouldnāt be surprised.
Yeah that is shocking. Ditto for Apple and a few others. People try to escape their facility by hurling themselves over barbed wire fences and then die. Nike uses uigur slaves - yes they are slaves to make their products. I will never own their products, will not resell them from my closet or give them to charity. I do not want to see the brands on anyone. Thank you for posting about Shein.
They installed nets to catch the people who try to commit suicide. It boggles the mind.
I did not know that. How very thoughtful...
Horrible š
We also donāt know whether any of the so-called fair trade companies who claim to pay their employees a living wage actually do.
At least they seem to have more oversight although as you mention, we canāt be sure how accurate that is either in the end š
Where can we shop? I try to use Public Square as much as possible, but it seems our options are very few if we really look at where and how products are made.
There's an article somewhere on SubStack about Public Square that it's a problem to track down who the actual vendors are. They're supposed to be tied to people who want to support businesses who aren't woke, but it's not possible to verify who these vendors really are. Be careful where you spend your money.
I use Prime and it kills me. I can't stand Bezos. I justify it to myself by thinking of the time I save not running around all over town after work, getting the items I need to run my household, but the truth is, my money is going to support a man I despise and his expensive madam.
Yes, I worry even when I use Public Square. I try to track down where products are made, but itās not always possible. Itās not reasonable to think Public Square wouldnāt be infested with bad actors posing as USA first patriots to some degree. Mostly Iām trying to cut my buying period. But the crooked, evil Amazon machine gets plenty of our money too, sad to say.
Those decisions are very difficult. Not at all as cut and dried as they might seem sometimes š
US based textile and clothing production has been on the decline for many generations. Exceptions exist, like Warren Buffet's purchase of a languishing textile mill named Berkshire Hathaway but that's a rather special instance š¤Ŗ
While youāre busy painting folks with broad brushstrokes, donāt forget that there are plenty of āgoodā non-Christians out there too. Fair is fair.
Yes, but we'll live morally upstanding, law-abiding lives, and burn in Hell for all eternity for our troubles š¤Ø
Thatās such a sad way to put it ā¦.itās better than that portrayal.
To paint a literary picture,
itās more like a legendary taleā¦where humans are cursed under the dragon, owned under a blood contract, Moral, law-abiding or not, OWNED .
But, a blood sacrifice was given freely by a Savior that breaks the curse and releases those that call on his name from the contract of slavery & death .
Itās a story of hope, redemption, & reconciliation.
So easy. But so hard for some to believe as truth .
The gospel is EPIC.
And might I add, itās for everyone! No one is exempt from the offer !
That has absolutely nothing to do with my point, my point was that these people are supposed to be about caring for their fellow men yet seemingly shrug off this mistreatment š I was alluding to their hypocrisy. So please donāt extrapolate from what I said to imply something different. By no means did I imply that non Christians donāt or canāt care about their fellow men, or that they canāt be āgoodā people.
Just realized I may have misunderstood your comment. I only picked on them because I am bothered by hypocrisy. I also point it out with leftists who supposedly care about āthe poor and oppressedā but have no problems with their electric car batteries produced using materials mined by children in Africa.
But Iām this specific example, I was talking with churchgoing Christians.
Fast fashion, as well?
Churchgoing doesn't equal regenerate. Now if these were people who, when asked their "brand" or denomination of Christianity, replied they were followers of Christ you could then be properly surprised at their lack of concern over how their goods are made. No indwelling Spirit, no good.
Indeed. I just always feel a little shocked when people who seem like decent people react this way.
Remember that scene from the 1994 version of Little Women when Meg goes to the ball at Sally's (was that her name?) and is wearing the plain blue cotton frock and when told in no uncertain terms it just won't do she says "you know they use little children in the mills!" and Sally says "the poor are always with us....you are so good to remind us". Remember the expression on her face?! And the tone of her voice? She _is_ these people. I think of that scene a lot lately.
Oh yes. The more things changeā¦ š
People also don't know what to believe. Having some clear evidence to show might help, but then that usually didn't work for Covd..
Still, I can say it would work for me. Show me something like this is true rather than heresay and I will listen. We have gotten used to the left making false sympathy cases for issues when they are actually supporting the bad things they say they are against. So I think some good people close their minds, but will respond to truth over time.
I understand that but the lack of curiosity or dismay or any reaction at all is what shocked me. If theyād said wow, I hadnāt heard that, I need go look into it, that wouldāve been better imo. At least show some concern and interest instead of being unfazed and blasĆ© š
Yes, I see how that is really disturbing. Sounds like it did not sink in whatsoever, hence no empathy that surely they would feel if they met the laborers face to face.
If you or others on this thread have good resources for learning more on this issue, please share. Also, if you know some good ideas, what can we do that makes a difference?
I donāt have time today unfortunately to gather all that information of links but will try to come back here if I can or post another day in the comments.
Whitewashed tombs.
I think it was ok for these acquaintances to not take what you said at face value, that is how we got into this Covid mess by accepting what the gov't was saying at face value. Also saying "I heard", instead of "I read" or "I have discovered" lessens the statement's impact. I think the preferable response by them would have been 'how did you find that out?' or 'where can I confirm that info?'. At the very least, hopefully you gave them food for thought and it may spur them to research information, not to be 'sheeple'
Oh I have no problem with them not taking it at face value. I am happy to have them research it on their own and decide. My problem was with the seeming complete lack of interest or curiosity in what I told them. I am not asking anyone to believe what I say without checking for themselves. They just didnāt react at all. Completely ignored what I said. Just paused a second then went on about how cute and cheap the clothes are š
Agreed, that kind of a statement should have at least garnered some curiosity if not concern!
That was my main disappointment. I would never ask someone to accept something I said on blind faith. Especially people who donāt really know me and would have no reason to necessarily believe what I tell them. But having no interest, no curiosity, seemingly no desire to look into something, especially something regarding other human beings being mistreatedā¦ THAT really bothered me š Just look the other way and pretend it isnāt happening š
Waking up to the insane news that Hunter Biden is suing the IRS for, basically, embarrassing him. You can't make this stuff up.

Yes! A walking ad for what cocaine will do for you.
For real! Like in Silver Bullet!
Maybe he should sue Apple for making the i-phone that allowed him to video himself smoking crack and jamming hookers.
On the other hand, maybe he's not embarrassed by all that . . .
Then sue the hooker for actually being with him...
So funny true. You funny man JohnS
First, please, *please* don't mistake this for an answer or rationale or anything aimed at absolving this person.
Imagine being born the child of the scumbag that is Robert L. Peters. That child never knew a day of love in his life. Not from his father. I have no clue about his mother, but look who she was married to. Who knows how he was traumatized. We've heard Peters showered with his tween or teen daughter. Ugh. Trauma.
This is a wounded child in an adult body. He never grew up. He's still crying out for help, but will also refuse it at every turn.
That said, a grown man who doesn't take responsibility for his actions or learn from his life experience gets hit from a lot of angles by real life. The reckoning.
I can understand why the guy has problems. Arrested development. Doesn't excuse his behavior. Just provides me some insight. Sad. But no, as an adult you can't behave like a child and rail against the consequences. Doesn't work that way. I doubt he'll ever grow up, or get sober, even inside a prison cell. Oh well. Time for some reckoning.
You are far kinder than I am. I can't muster up any sympathy for a person who has destroyed not only the people in his personal circle, but who has put our entire country at risk by criminally associating with one of the most corrupt countries on earth.
I totally hear you. Sympathy is conditional and limited to some understanding on origin of the dude's problems. Not excusing behavior in any way. It's about time for a reckoning. For the whole bunch, and I don't mean just this family.
The Biden family is completely dysfunctional and crooked. They must believe this is how the privileged get to do things.
Joe was always an enabler dad.
Beau was the hero, Hunter an also-ran.
Joe never said no to his sons. especially Hunter. Joeās daughter has been sexually abused.
Hunter is rebellious, and knows that no matter what Pops will always get him out of jams. Including now.
Joe always āprovidedā for his sibs and kids with shady dealings. So that he didnāt get caught, he had the money go to family accounts and charged them back half. All documented.
Joe gets his own funds other ways. Multiple homes are a popular money laundering scheme.
It is family knowledge that Pops is a pedo, expressed by Hunter to his family.
Joe had an affair with Jill before Joeās wife died then married Jill.
Hunter had an affair with Beauās wife.
I donāt see a sad child. I see an entitled narcissist, above the law.
The thing that is sad is Joe is the patriarch of all of this family misery and criminal activity. The kids were born into it and believe that is how to live. Joe even assists and enables Hunter becoming the next gen āprovider.ā
āReceiptsā on Dan Bongino.
Oh, yes. The behavior is generational. Learned. Even if in response to emotional, psychological or physical abuse/trauma. No one is absolved. I just armchair see the second generation origins. I don't know pedo Joe's origins. He's an oily scumbag. Another psychopath. I learned recently that psychopaths are born that way; sociopaths are formed by environment. Both are toxic and destructive so it doesn't make much difference in the play. I have a feeling the second generation were formed by their experience. No slack cut for any of them. Never said that. Only see how sad it is for the second gen. It's done. No turnarounds likely. Ha! Nope, it's time -past time! for the reckoning.

You have a strong arm;
Your hand is mighty, Your right hand is exalted.
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne;
Lovingkindness and truth go before You.
How blessed are the people who know the joyful sound!
O Lord, they walk in the light of Your countenance.
In Your name they rejoice all the day,
And by Your righteousness they are exalted.

Thanks for the explanation on the Chevron doctrine. This potential overturn is the only thing in the past couple of years that actually gives me some hope for our country.
My granddaughters' elementary Catholic School dress code does not allow nail polish or jewelry, but Fetterman can get away with looking like a bum in the Senate. Have some respect.
Clothing DOES matter. I raised my daughters to dress appropriately for the occasion. One tends to feel/behave differently in more formal as opposed to casual attire. Our present society is losing it's grip and my guess is pushback is coming right around the corner š¤š
Theyāre just making their outside as shabby as their inner character.
Definitely something to that me thinks!
With regard to the Gretchen Whitmer FBI led & DOJ enforced kidnapping scam charges that the defendants were just acquitted of, I grew up in Michigan and spent 12 years worth of weekends and summers driving up north to Antrim County (Mancelona specifically) where that trial was held. IMHO, Antrim County residents are salt of the earth folks, who work hard and play hard. In other words, they represent 'Merica! :) In November 2020, a "glitch" in the election tabulation software first gave Antrim County to Bob Peters, but was later "fixed" and the voters' votes were correctly given back to President Trump. Watching Mlive political coverage of my former home state during election night and days later, I never believed for a moment that Antrim County went blue, but boy did the powers that be want it to be that way. In the end, Antrim County went 61.1% Trump, 37.4% Biden. That this trial was held in Antrim County and that a jury of these Defendants' peers found *unanimously* that they were not guilty, warms my heart to no end. If one believes the percentages from the 2020 election, the good people of Antrim County certainty seem to see through the smoke, mirrors, and B.S. quite clearly, perhaps thanks in no small part to the "glitch" and issues that clouded their voting preference results three years ago and because of how Whitmer, Peters, etc., have continued to run their state and our country. Bravo Antrim County citizens!!
I am still in Michigan and the only reason there was even a semblance of election scrutiny in this state was because an Antrim county clerk noticed the error and made it public. Then the forces that be did a sham investigation and even the Republicans in the state legislature said, āNothing to see here, except a mistakeā, and the county clerk was āforced/coerced/paid offā, to say she made a mistake and sweep the whole issue under the rug. Biden did not win the state of Michigan and we all knew it, but could question nothing. Blame it on the captured media and our corrupt governing bodies. Some day the truth will win out.
Thank you, Laurie! Your reply & info => pureš„!! Wholeheartedly agree with you, all the way out here in Idaho. ā¤ļø
Maybe the AG in this area could sue President Peters for crimes against humanity
Michiganās AG is as corrupt as our Governor. Elected along with the Governor and SoS in 2018. The perfect tyrannical triumvirate. When covid hit in 2020, all evil was revealed. CoVid was all about the 2020 election.
"In addition to recommending against the shots for anyone healthy under 65, the guidance also requires providers ti discuss the risks even with patients 65 and older who want the shots."

Love how Florida is ACTUALLY following the science. This is what I mean when I say we should stop worrying about the Presidential elections and rather focus on winning our states. The more states we win, the better our Country is:

Wonāt it be a great day when the shots arenāt recommended to anyone? Period. Full stop. It would be so nice to call the pharmacy for a script refill and not have to listen to the BS recording of the available shots. Wouldnāt it be a miracle if the horrible vax shot could take down the annual ineffective flu shot and all the harmful childhood vaccines along with it? Maybe thatās one positive we can see in this, that many have had their eyes opened to the dangers of all vaxes.
Yes, it will be a great day. It will be an even better day when the creators of the clot shots are brought to justice.
Amen to that, but it is chilling watching all these commercials on with the football games this weekend. They are REALLY pushing them right now. Such a strange thing to do with Damar Hamlin as Exhibit A.
I noticed that. I'm working on a post about subliminal advertising. Not only are those jerks pushing this garbage, but they are being exceptionally manipulative.
I might suggest you switch to an independent pharmacy if you can, most donāt put you on hold to listen to their propaganda. Also, chain pharmacies incentivize pharmacists to push ā shotsā ( not all chains, but some) . Independent pharmacists often do not vaccinate because we are too busy filling scripts and actually counseling patients! Just my personal experience. šš
I only used two pharmacies, both are independent. Unfortunately the one in our local grocery store has that stupid recording also. The other doesnāt and Iād use them for everything except that theyāre a little more expensive. Yes, I quit the chain stores because theyāre propaganda 24/7.
Awesome, and you are helping a small family business, not a Corporate giant.
As my MIL used to say, "from your lips to God's ears." In your case Freebird from your smartphone to God's eyes! šš¤

Every time CVS has me fill out a survey, I complain about those ads (I rarely go there anymore but sometimes itās the only option). The local store managers always send me back a somewhat whiny email saying that they donāt determine that policy, corporate does. It must really rub them the wrong way, so I keep doing it. Maybe at some point itāll have an effect š
I like how they phrased it āwho want the shots.ā Like they acknowledge there are Covidians out there who are almost addicted to getting the jabs and wonāt listen to anyone who tells they they might not need them.
VA still offering shots to veterans.
Signs up all over the VA hospital.
(Gonna keep posting this everywhere I can until the insanity stops.)
1000% agree! It's fair and everyone gets a choice - vs totalitarian!
I just feel for the children though who don't have a choiceš But it's better than taking away parental rights I suppose.... can't have it both ways.
Yep, the know that some (cov)addicts gotta have the juice.
Covid shot + flu shot = stroke
Met a sweet girl at a local eatery ā¦30ish, has a blood clot in her carotid artery, no vax, but flu shot š¬
Was it a recent flu shot?
Been hearing rumors that the current flu shots have mRNA.
I have heard similar and have done everything I can to talk my dad out of it.
She said flu shot a couple months priorā¦.so Iām guessing recentish ? Have no idea why she would be getting a flu shot in July though š¤·āāļø
Thanks for the details.
If you add in the RSV to your lovely equation, what's the sum?
= dead.
= super fast dead
When the shots were offered at my workplace, I asked a fellow employee what kind of "informed consent" was given. She said there was absolutely nothing said or written that resembled informed consent of any sort.
So establishment media is upset that Desantis isn't following "experts". WTF is the Florida Dept of Health????
Right?? Oh but only *their* chosen (paid off shill) experts count š
I was glad to see Paxton acquitted, but I think the main moment for the impeachment was the day or two before when Paxton called on Speaker Phalen to resign because his behavior was atrocious. Add in that he was also working on some things going against the transitioning/abuse of minors in addition to the C19 shots and there are all sorts of reasons the impeachment was fast-tracked.
Sadly, that also exposed a ton of RINOs in the TX house. Far too many jumped on board. There's also some hints that the impeachment was retaliation of a sort for beating a Bush in the primary. Texas voters sent a clear message that they didn't want another Bush in a position of power.
I'm glad to see Florida's guidance now pushing _actual_ risks and I'd consider forwarding to some of my family who would line up for the next booster for "safety" but as others have noted - some people are just all-in on mRNA shots and refuse to see the problems or evidence that they might not be helpful. :(
Here's Paxton's statement from this Saturday: https://twitter.com/KenPaxtonTX/status/1703115134686695898?
Note his last 2 paragraphs:
"Finally, I can promise the Biden Administration the following: buckle up because your lawless policies will not go unchallenged. We will not allow you to shred the constitution and infringe on the rights of Texans. You will be held accountable.
I will next address the nation and Texas on Tucker Carlson next week. Now it is back to work!"
I canāt wait for the Tucker-Paxton interview!!
Paxton is the Man! Now where the hell is my FL AG????? It's time for Ashley Moody and all the AGs to man-up and get in the fight!! Enough of the theatrics.
And I saw a snippet of Fox Sunday morning and the talk was of the split in the Texas GOP showing up in the Paxton trial. I hate the term RINO, and why do Dems never go against the party?
Why do you dislike the term 'RINO?' To me, it describes someone who is registered Republican but who disagrees with much of our party platform. Perhaps we could also call them 'Cafeteria Republicans?'
I dislike the moniker RINO because it was put out there by the very Uniparty Republicans who have been selling us out for years. It implies that their term just sprang up organically overnight when Trump was elected. There was/is a Swamp in our Nations Capitol and we just realized how oozy it was in 2020. The Democrats are a solid front, they never deviate, but the split is in the GOP. I wonāt let any group decide who I should trust.
Inside the Republican Party of Florida, I can tell you that MAGA people use the term, to the extreme irritation of the Cafeteria Republicans who don't actually support the party platform. (There's a swamp in Tallahassee, too.). I think there's more split in the Democrat Party than they let on, too. They have excellent party discipline in Congress and probably in state legislatures, but their electorate is beginning to tire of, e.g., trans and alphabet porn. RFK, Jr., has the highest favorable and lowest unfavorable ratings of any of the current candidates, and I don't think it's from unfamiliarity with him, any more than for some of the other candidates. Biden has the opposite. I think the more open division and power struggle between the Cafeteria and the MAGA Republicans is a good thing. The Cafeterias need to realize that their domination is just about over.
Exactly they are in lockstep with each other. WHY OR BETTER YET HOW?
We have to change our perspective. The "Parties" became none-existent a long time ago. There is only one, the Uniparty. The Dem/Rep game is only to keep us plebs fooled into thinking we actually have a choice. They fear Trump because he is financially/politically independent of the Uniparty. The last time we had an independent President was JFK and he was killed by the CIA for it.

"...keep us plebs fooled..."
This is the crux of the matter. Until people wake up to the political theater, that the real perpetraitors [sic] behind the show, the puppetmasters, are hidden, the bickering among ourselves and worthless voting (at least federal if not state and possibly local) will continue.
Who said something like, If voting made any difference they would make it illegal -? It wasn't Mark Twain or a satirist, despite the truth in terseness. An industrialist? A politician? I don't remember. It's the truth though.
"There is only one, the Uniparty."
Biden this, Trump that; DeSantis this, Newsom that. It makes no difference. Yes, even Trump. Upend me into a trash can.
When in the course of human events... it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government...
IMO we're there. At least, we need to clean house and start over on that count.
Absent the foolproof screening tool for integrity, new personnel might not be as successful an endeavor as I'd like to think. Could buy us some time, though. I'm thinkin some level of overhaul indeed will take place. I'm no psychic, I don't know how it will unfold. Just, with as major an upheaval as is in motion with all the truths coming out, the existing personnel in Washington (at least) cannot stay, particularly once (affirming ā) the top of the cabal's pyramid are exposed. EVERYthing will change. In 10-15 years we'll barely recognize the place.
Armchair. Actually, the 100 miles up view. But what do I know, really? From 100 miles up? *sidles away...
Amen, never want to see another Bush ever again.
Weāre done with the Bushes, but they want vengeance on us.
Soon in Chicago:
"Is this the line where there's no bread?" "No, it's the line where there's no meat."
And meat you get will have been fed on grain that had pesticides on it, mrna injections and antibiotics...
The meat just might be "meat" of a different origin than from an actual animal.
And maybe some Soylent Green as an appetizer.
Good lord, you would hope THIS would be the thing that would finally wake these brain dead cities up. But then most don't read history books, so maybe not.
I'm 65, soon to be 66. After the last three years I will not consider taking flu shots anymore. I am not hesitant, I am convinced I can no longer trust the CDC, FDA, NIH, Vaccine makers regardless of who they are and I have big doubts about my own doctor when it comes to vaccines. This Senior has no desire to be the latest guinea pig. Based on the data from medicare and people dedicated to the truth, seniors did not fare to well after the jabs in-spite of the media hype. This Senior and my husband knew the minute they said lockdown it was a blatant lie.
