Honestly the women that cross examined Pete should really step down. How unbelievably embarrassing! As a woman of a certain age I absolutely cringed 🤦🏻‍♀️

They want to undermine DoD by continuing to socially engineer it. They do NOT want a lethal DOD built on the warrior ethos and meritocracy.

Lydia Lozano's avatar

Only logical conclusion is that they are wishing and hoping for our defeat. This has been going on incrementally since Vietnam.

Doug's avatar

I don't want one more dollar removed from my paycheck to be used in building a gutless, pansy military. If we're going to spend so much on our defense, let's make sure it can do the job in as honorable a way as possible.

Where does that pile of $$$$ go?

Black Ops is my guess. We've been trying to find out for years, but the Pentagon can't seem to account for it...

and I will second that one, too!

The Real Mary Rose's avatar

Honestly? I don't even think they are that strategic. They are like two year olds demanding what they want because they want it.

Annie's avatar

Agree 💯 I believe they are mentally ill or deranged. Add incompetence as well. Though I do believe there is a plot to bring down the USA from inside. These are just their useful idiots on display.

SteelJ's avatar

There's no reason to think they're all of the same type. I think some are useful idiots. Some know exactly what they're doing.

The Real Mary Rose's avatar

Yeah that is the most likely. Some with a game plan, the others just Wokie nutjobs with a short-sighted and delusional social agenda.

Jay Horton's avatar

Yes, but the ominous and reckless aura of Gloria Steinem encircles them all so there is that....

The Real Mary Rose's avatar

Gloria Steinem was a CIA Asset. She wrote about it! The whole feminist thing was a CIA creation. They needed a way to start the culture war going, and also they gained from adding 50% of the population to the tax rolls by putting us ALL to work.

Marty Kiner's avatar

What did I read earlier, three or four of his appointees still haven’t had their basic background checks completed? Clearly they are blocking President Trump every way they can. Heads need to roll.

Dena's avatar

Tulsi Gabbard is one they’re slow walking.

Danielle's avatar

She should have already had one as a member of the military.

Anita from Tucson - Now In MI's avatar

Trump is not using the traditional transition process or their FBI background checks.

So I'm not sure who isn't doing what on background checks. Tulsi is active duty Reserve military and maybe doesn't need a new background check.

SuezCanal's avatar

Trump agreed to FBI background checks a few weeks ago. That's why reports of the last couple of days indicated senators found Pete's report "unremarkable."

Kathy's avatar

Not to mention that they forced all those poor soldiers to get the damn genetic injections. And of course, young males are at the highest risk for cardiac damage and stroke.

@Kathy- not just young ones. My husband was a month shy of 65 when he got hit with myocarditis. His heart is permanently damaged now.

I’m so sorry they did that to him.

That shot is from the pits of hell.

Robin Greer's avatar

Did you see that the President of South Korea was arrested today?

CeeMcG's avatar

Didn’t see that yet. What was he arrested for?

Robin Greer's avatar

In a panic over the actions of the far-left in his country, he had tried to declare marital law. It was only for a few hours and it was probably a trap he was lead into. He is seen as the Trump of his country fighting against the communist influence there.

They've already destroyed the health of the soldiers with the shots so don't plan on too many foreign adventures.

Oona Pilot's avatar

That's why your over the border illegal male youngsters are for.. to replace the soldiers ... the muscle, the enforcers...

TRM's avatar

And they have no conception of what an "illegal order" is so they will simply follow all orders mindlessly. Even more so than the usual soldiers. Where they are from there is no such thing as an "illegal order". If you got the guns all your orders are legal.

Sherry 1's avatar

Seems Dems want to focus on enlisting cross-dressers, pansies and Affluent White Female Liberals (AWFL acronym certainly fits). Not in the warrior mode at all. We need warriors. On another note, the info coming out on the mRNA begs the question of WHY is this poison still on the market???

Dan (100% All in MAGA)'s avatar

They want to focus on making DOD toothless and unable to defend the USA. Remember they hate the USA, believe in all the open borders bullshit. They are delusional, warped, evil people.

As to why is the poison still on the market? They will never admit it is poison and they still want to kill as many as they can.

Ryan Gardner's avatar

No doubt. Ha! My wife said the exact same thing.

I mean what can you expect when they can't tell you the difference between a male and female?!

It was similar to that time Sotomayor claimed 100k children died from c19, displaying her abject ignorance for all to see.

That there is the true power of censorship.

Kathy's avatar

I know! I couldn’t believe she said that. Where did she get her information? The National Enquirer? Even MSNBC wasn’t telling lies that large! It made me think she was a complete idiot.

LamedVav disavows all vaxes.'s avatar

Actually, the National Enquirer is tmore accurate than the legacy media.

Ryan Gardner's avatar

That is indeed a fact. Even before it went rapidly hard left.

Historically it's been better predictor of what's going on behind the scenes than any other rag.

TRM's avatar

I think the women on the supreme court are trying out for roles on "The View" LOL. Queue Tim Dillon!!!

Sue Kelley's avatar

She also claimed it was as safe as aspirin which we stopped giving children decades ago because…wait for it…it KILLS them ( Rhys syndrome)

Oona Pilot's avatar

It can kill but it mostly does NOT kill. Only if they've gotten that viral illness stuff going on.. The exact cause of Reye syndrome is not known. But studies have shown a link between Reye syndrome and children who take aspirin during or shortly after a viral illness. The American Academy of Pediatrics warns about aspirin and Reye syndrome (base on what percentage getting this? What's the adverse impact rate? How many studied?). Don't give aspirin or any medicine that contains aspirin to a child younger than age 19, unless your child's healthcare provider tells you to. Of course, then again this IS the medical mafia telling you NOT to do something, unless your doctor says so, so I'm wondering if well... it might not be so bad as they claim.. never can tell nowadays can you?

Bandit's avatar

Everytime I had a fever, when I was a little kid, WAY back in the day, I was given baby aspirin. I'm still alive. I still think it tastes good, too.

AnnB's avatar

"You will recognize them by their fruits."

"You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies."

"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy."

Every miscarriage caused by their needle-stick is a murder. The captured media is a mouthpiece spouting lie upon lie. Their stolen taxes were used to fund the abominations of the last few years.

Jesus Christ commanded me to be anxious for nothing. I need to turn to him in my anxiety. Pray that their eyes will be opened. Fear only the Lord!

Sumter53's avatar

You can physically FEEL IT. There have been times when I feel nauseous while listening to them speak. Every time President Trump was on the debate stage with one of them it was like nails on a chalkboard. I said prayers for President Trumps spiritual safety. He is an extremely resilient individual. GOD’S protection is around him obviously.

SteelJ's avatar

I've long thought much of what the demoncrats do is difficult to explain as coming from human psychology and intellect. The two possibilities that fit perfectly are - aliens or the devil.

I believe it's Satan.

I'm not saying I might not be wrong, but that's how they make me feel.

Just to throw fire on the flames, recently saw a priest from the 1950’s who was in charge of fellow priests who conducted ‘exorcisms’….he said they all were in agreement at the ‘time’ that 50% of Americans were full of evil…wonder if that could pertain to recent time!

Bandit's avatar

I feel it's way above 50% now. I pray I am wrong.

AJoy's avatar

And yet they are so pro women on the front lines yet can’t even define what a woman is?!?

It seems that way because they have been.

Sunnydaze's avatar

Off subject WS…you made a comment a while back to me about using bentonite clay for your pets. I believe it was for flea and tick and heart worm. Is that correct? And, what brand do you use for it? We live in Florida which is mosquito heaven - so I can’t leave our dog to risk it. I want her off the commercial stuff but I hesitate without knowing a bit more information about it…….how effective is it in a climate like ours etc etc. Any info to pass on?

Willing Spirit's avatar

Vulsa Botanicals is the brand I use. It’s food grade Calcium Bentonite Clay. I order it from Amazon and have used it for my dog and two cats for a couple of years now. I learned about it when searching YouTube for natural ways to deworm cats. Cutest young girl doing the video, which I can’t find again. She added that the clay would also kill fleas.

I have not seen a flea or any sort of parasite since beginning a few years ago. I figure fleas hop on, but they must die very soon after biting. It dries up their insides or something.

My dog is about 65 lbs. I put about a quarter teaspoon in her food, which she gets twice daily.

I am a native Floridian and am in my 8th decade living here. Vets here make a huge issue of heart worms; very scary talk.

I grew up on a farm and there were always dogs around. These were outdoor dogs in the country-no mosquito spraying trucks. No vet visits. But I never saw one with the symptoms of heart worms.

Just to say, I think it is a hyped issue to keep customers for vets. Not to say it doesn’t happen, I just think it’s a lot rarer than they would have you believe. That said, I certainly understand how you want to protect your dog.

There are other videos on YouTube and other information available online. We are the daring people who use alternative methods.

I, myself, am doing my best to keep my pets away from the conventional veterinarians and their treatments. We’re all doing very well so far.

And the vets in this big city charge like brain surgeons.

Sunnydaze's avatar

Thank you! I abhor the vet and only go for those two things. She’s on the county radar for rabies shot because of the need for those two things. She’s 4 1/2 and has had 2 shots. Against our will. So if I can get rid of the need to go in for those two things…. 😉 then maybe I won’t need to go in at all….

I bought some Bentonite calcium clay. Food grade. I just haven’t tried it yet as I hadn’t researched the flea tick heart worm issue.

I grew up on a farm as well and always had dogs and never remember heart worm as an issue. Fleas yes! Our dog had bad fleas. 😖 I don’t want them on our dog 😂

I’m ready to be the daring ones too and try alternatives. I’ve been working to get off the merry go round for years.

Thanks for the info!

What part of Fl? I’m in central. I meet up with someone from SWFL and she and I have gotten to be good friends over the last two years. Also met in person 2 other ladies who live in other states but come to Fl for various reasons. Met all on C&C. If you’re interested in a possible meet up some time. If not, no worries.

Oona Pilot's avatar

Sunny Daze, I am planning to report to county my adopted kitten passed away from Cardio Myopathy heart defect suddenly. So sorry, no longer have her. To avoid the county licence rules, I try to stretch out the jabs to as few as possible every 3rd year to 4th with cats. I have one little girl only jabs shes gotten maybe 5 in her life including the rabies jabs and she is going on 18 now, with diminshed kidneys (on sub Q fluids). But still, amazingly good for cats nowadays.

Karen Bandy's avatar

Will your county accept a titer instead of a rabies shot? Note, there are different labs with different prices, so you might have to shop around.

Our regular vet quoted somewhere around $400 and my natural vet said there are some labs who charge much less, around half that.

Willing Spirit's avatar

That’s a lovely invite, but these days I stick close to home on the NE coast. You sound like fun folks, though.

My previous dog, Indy, got tagged by the county for rabies shot updates. Crazy thing was he had one shot as a young pup and because of a bad reaction, he never got another. In fact, he was an incredibly healthy big dog mix and didn’t see a vet for 14 more years. Then he developed these big gross warts and I made the mistake of taking him to a vet to see if anything could be done. Long story short, I ended up getting rid of his warts with bloodroot ointment, but the vet strong armed me into accepting a rabies shot. A year later, I got a letter from the ‘authorities’ directing that he get an updated shot unless I returned a form stating that he was now deceased or I no longer owned him. I didn’t want to jinx him, so I checked the ‘no longer own’ box and that ended that.

By some fortunate circumstances, my present pets are not trackable, thank God!

Sunnydaze's avatar

WS -Haven’t been able to find any You Tube videos on BC for fleas and ticks. Do you have a link for one?

Willing Spirit's avatar

Do my great sorrow I’ve never been able to relocate the YouTube video I watched that spoke of deworming with Bentonite Clay and added that it also would kill fleas.

And all I know is that it has worked for me for a couple of years now. No more costly Frontline.

Diatomaceous earth (food grade)is a similar product and I found videos about using it for parasites. When you think about it, that’s what fleas and ticks are; external parasites.

And I’ve read about spreading non food grade diatomaceous earth on the ground to kill fleas.

Both bentonite clay and diatomaceous earth are fascinating to read about and many health benefits for people and animals are claimed.

https://jodylteiche.com/bentonite-clay-for-dogs-cats-pet-health-tips-that-heal/

https://www.dogster.com/dog-health-care/diatomaceous-earth-for-dogs

Peace's avatar

So, ingesting the bentonite clay is keeping your dog free from fleas?!

Willing Spirit's avatar

And internal parasites. It dries out their bodies. Food grade. About half a teaspoon daily for my 65 lb. dog. For the two cats I mix a tablespoon into a three pound bag of dry food, which takes about 2 weeks for consumption since I also feed them some Fancy Feast and Temptations.

I dump the dry food into a big plastic container, add the clay, put the lid on and roll the container this way and that until the clay is well blended in.

Karen Bandy's avatar

Sunny, sorry to butt in but you might check into oils for your dog. Young Living oils has a pet line and I’m pretty sure they have a flea and tick oil. There are other brands that I now use, but not sure if they have pet-safe products.

Ps, I can’t vouch for the efficacy but might be worth looking into.

Sunnydaze's avatar

Thanks! Are you talking about oils that would go on her fur/skin? I need to avoid that so not sure that would work if it makes her fur oily…..

Peace's avatar

The oils would not make your dog's fur oily. We used essential oils on our dogs which worked well in Florida. It was put in the shampoo. And can be diluted as a spray. I got mine from an independent store in Florida, but YL likely has the same idea with their oils. Here is the one I used - it smells wonderful. https://naturalsforanimals.com/critter-oil/critter-oil-uses-and-directions/critter-oil-for-dogs-and-cats/

Karen Bandy's avatar

Like Peace says, they are essential oils, so not oily at all. You just use a few drops.

The Real Mary Rose's avatar

Same.

Fauxcahontas is particularly cringe-worthy. Imagine being UPSET that a man would say that women aren't built for combat to the level men are? We aren't. That's just fact. Since when is the so-called "left" all pro-military, anyway? 20 years ago when I was one of 'em, we marched against all wars, we weren't trying to ADD women to it in the name of women's rights. It is madness. I wouldn't have even watched any of the circus except Warren's bit popped up in my YouTube suggestions so I clicked it. Yikes! She is really living in a lefty silo of insanity. It was abysmal.

Ruth H's avatar

Warren got her comeuppance when Hegseth replied ‘I’m not a General’ and the room laughed (at her). She should have been embarrassed. Duckworth with her screeching ‘yes or no, yes or no’ trying to silence Hegseth’s response. Gillebrand unhinged to the point her neck turned red while screeching. Then there’s Hirono who only mumbles as she reads her questions and ‘then that’s a no’ when Hegseth wouldn’t fall for her imagined scenarios. These women just make women look bad.

Yes, he most certainly did. All the grifter boys stealing trophies from women are bigger and stronger. But the liberal women call that progress, when a guy in drag beats up on a woman or steals her place on the dais.

SadieJay's avatar

A woman who is secure in herself can meet a man of such great stature on an equal playing field. These women are insecure, inept, ineligible, incompetent and insane. Seriously...the people that flew through Biden's picks were the total opposite of our man Pete. These women are afraid of natural order. Because, in that world, they would be the chickens who get pecked on by normal chickens. For reasons only chickens know...they are smarter than we think. Natural order doesn't apply in the halls of our nation....it is all about the grift. I wonder how many of those a-holes had moderna in their stock portfolio?

Dawn of the day's avatar

Absolutely! As a woman when I am asked what I think of as a man, someone just like Pete Hegseth comes to mind. Inspires confidence rather than the urge to projectile vomit!

These screeching banshees just embarrass themselves and are too dumb to realize it! I have no respect for them nor do I care to even give them the time of day.

So glad to see the pendulum swing back towards middle ground.

Maybe Congress should be required to do a breathalyzer prior to entering their congressional chambers…as well as periodic drug tests to make sure they aren’t indulging otherwise, as well!

Never ask a question you don't know the answer to when your "cross-examining" someone....

So they get bounced around, but never taken down a level. That, is a perfect description of anyone that even wants to be in politics.

Here's the problem, much of Israel is not run by Choosenites, but instead the Ashkenazi Jews who are from Europe (mainly Poland). No connection to historic Israel.

The leader of the IDF was actually born in Poland.

The gall of them to stake a higher claim than gazans who have lived there for centuries...

So with that logic, I guess we white people that occupy Florida today, are usurpers, and should killed or at least ostracized from the rest of the earth. Hating Jews for being cheap, and shrewd, and maybe a lot controlling, especially their women, is as pointless as my point at the beginning. In our time, Muzzies assaulted Israelis. Not our business. Shouldn’t help either side. But if I had to pick who I was gonna be in a foxhole with, muzzie would be last and a Jew wouldn’t matter. Y’all waste an incredible amount of energy hating Jews, just because they’re Jews. Yikes.

Now this makes sense. Why do we not take care of our own rightful citizens (NOT illegals) before we send taxpayer money to ANY other country?

Come on, how can anyone argue with this? Think Lahaina, North Carolina, and now SoCal. It's pretty blatant that taxpayer money does not benefit Americans very much anymore nor do most bureaucrats seem to give a rats behind about the dire straits folks in the above places find themselves.

I believe the US has a duty to take care of her own first and foremost. Sure hope the incoming admin feels this way too.

Lorita's avatar

Based Florida Man - I agree there is a deeper history. If God wanted His chosen people for himself, his own would be believers in Christ Jesus who follow Jesus' path. Jesus didn't fight back but gave up His life for us. He didn't form the army to kill His enemies. His WORD is the sword. My point I suppose is would Our Lord condone very much of this (Israel or Ukraine come to mind)? I would love to see the nations take care of their own nations/people, I would love to see the nations wake up and seek God, because only in God's Justice and Righteousness will anyone be free. Love the Lord God with all that you have and love your neighbor as yourself. My opinion, which I will not debate.

Anita from Tucson - Now In MI's avatar

If their 'leaders' stake an improper claim, then that does not negate their actual claim.

It's not like our leaders are doing US justice in our rightful home country.

We better get the plank out of our eye first, before we start to pick the splinter out of theirs.

That is another aspect of America First, in my estimation, first to take care of our own issues. One of those is a military that needs restoration.

That is the First of all Firsts for Pete Hegseth.

The Commander in Chief is the one who makes the top level decisions about what takes priority, and we need someone who is on board with that.

You don't defend yourself by slaughtering children. The majority of casualties are women and children. It is disgusting and I can't believe people are giving it a pass as "defending" themselves.

Alan Devincentis's avatar

When your enemy hides behind hospitals and schools, for just your reasoning, collateral damage can be atrocious. Those muzzie animals have no respect for any life,even their own offspring and women. So we should? Kill em all. Until Islam is eliminated, these animals will continue to teach their offspring to kill you. At four years of age. I don’t see a lot worth saving. Their profit was a pedo.

Galatians 6:7

Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.

Let's not forget that there are those who are sowing wheat, as well as those sowing tares.

The Parable of the Weeds

24 He put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field, 25 but while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds[c] among the wheat and went away. 26 So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared also. 27 And the servants[d] of the master of the house came and said to him, ‘Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have weeds?’ 28 He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ So the servants said to him, ‘Then do you want us to go and gather them?’ 29 But he said, ‘No, lest in gathering the weeds you root up the wheat along with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, “Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.”’”

The Parable of the Weeds Explained

36 Then he left the crowds and went into the house. And his disciples came to him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field.” 37 He answered, “The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world, and the good seed is the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one, 39 and the enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. 40 Just as the weeds are gathered and burned with fire, so will it be at the end of the age. 41 The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all law-breakers, 42 and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.

As for those who HAVE done the things of which you speak and so created a narrative and reputational stigma in such respects for our nation or any other as a whole, we are on the cusp of having the potential to see our perceived place in the world change in relation to it and them.

AND because things MUST change (what has been going on is not sustainable), they will.

In God's timing, which is perfect. It is not His will that any should perish and go to hell... but just because He is patient does not mean that He is not a just and righteous God. He will do justice against those who do not repent. (Ps. 7:11-16)

2 Peter 3:8-10

English Standard Version

8 But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you,[a] not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies[b] will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed.[c]

2 Peter 3:9 Some manuscripts on your account

2 Peter 3:10 Or elements; also verse 12

2 Peter 3:10 Greek found; some manuscripts will be burned up

----

Numbers 23:19

God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?

2 Timothy 2

23 Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed quarrels. 24 And the Lord's servant[e] must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, 25 correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth, 26 and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.

There probably is, but there's also plenty of worse. I sympathize with companies trying to survive with the ever changing "norms" society demands of them. Starbucks is just one of many corporations that now feels they can return to saner policies. I have been in many Starbucks and the people that serve me are always extremely kind and efficient and I think their coffee is quite good. They are doing the best they can with the crazy demands of a fickle public (and gov't).

Mc Donald’s is cheaper and better and the workers are well trained and pleasant

RunningLogic's avatar

Not my experience. But to each his own! I personally prefer small local coffee shops but Starbucks is easier to find when I’m traveling and they are open later in the day. I don’t really like the coffee at McDonald’s or the atmosphere. But I prefer espresso based drinks anyway and not drip coffee. Glad there are so many options out there for all kinds of tastes!

McDonalds was smart. Tim Hortons was bought by Burger King's parent who saved some money by changing TH's columbian source of coffee (I heard they owned 3 plantations) so their reputation for the best coffee in Canada went in the toilet. McDonalds snapped the plantations up in a flash and they are now my on the road source of coffee.

Peter Schott's avatar

Sadly, too many - and they insist that it's "good" coffee to boot. It _is_ widely available, but I don't think I've ever thought it was "good" ... just a source of caffeine when no other decent options were available. :/

Jamison's avatar

I’ve had one cup of Starbucks coffee. That was enough for me.

Juju's avatar

Nope. I used to drink it every day for years. Once I went low carb (almost 3 years ago) I do all my own tasty coffee concoctions now and they blow Starbucks away. And they are FAR healthier. I can’t stand having to get coffee or espresso from anywhere when I’m out. I love my own that much now. We occasionally buy our beans from a Veteran’s coffee business, like Black Rifle or Blackout Coffee Co, but that’s a splurge only because it is still too expensive. So often we just do Walmart Great Value brand. But my magic happens with collagen peptides, MCT Oil or butter, flavoring emulsions and extracts, and heavy whipping cream. I have about four different flavorings that are to die for. “Snuggle up and enjoy every last drop” to die for.

The only thing I buy from Starbucks are the cute mugs from their “Been There” series.

Every country and most big cities have them.

During the height of their woke meltdown, I was traveling through southern Alabama (as quickly as possible 😂) and wanted the Alabama state mug. The LBGT barista informed me that all Alabama mugs had been removed from the shelves because the state flag was “too offensive and looked racist.”

Immediately I wanted one! I asked nicely if he’d still sell me one because why not? He also thought it was ridiculous to remove the mugs to cater to imbecilic white liberals (he was a young, black conservative gay) 😂😂

The mug sits safely in my cupboard thanks to him.

Beth M's avatar

Also, Starbucks is a franchise, so there may be individual owners who aren't so woke. I knew a couple who owned a few locations here in the Portland area, very nice people.

Beyond intranasal vaccination, we will need to more fully explore responses to vaccination in other respiratory immune compartments, such as eye-drop conjunctival vaccination and particularly aerosol vaccination for certain respiratory viruses, as suggested by human and animal experimental studies for influenza and other respiratory viral diseases."

Most likely aerosolized delivery method will be misting devices like you see on restaurant patios during the summer. Perhaps in a chamber of some kind that you step through to pass into a facility. Take the body scanners at TSA airport checkpoints and add a misting nozzle to the front where you face, a nice refreshing scented mist...with a "safe and effective" 'vaccine'!

The misting 'vaccine' can also be used to "boost" (software update) the first mRNA platform shot (hardware) most already took. All of it bypassing consent, declaring vaccination a 'greater good' that overcomes 'inequity' in access to them, which is the same exact rationalization/justification as used to put fluoride in water. That eighty years later is found to be dangerous...then slowly communities react to and take out...after the damage is done.

It's worse than that. The last clinical trial for a mRNA upper respiratory "vaccine" conducted at UTMB in Galveston, TX halted early due to safety reasons. In it, they explained they saw exactly the same mRNA failures that all prior trials had shown. The conclusion was, any human trials should stay alert for safety signals that, if finally overcome, would allow the potential a chance to be realized.

EVERY mRNA "vaccine" trial had same safety signals as that trial. Exact same ones occurred with this "no of billions" trial (not double blinded, no placebo except true bloods that refused the juice).

They rolled the dice, hoping or thinking the mandate would eliminate the control (true bloods) and censorship would prevent actually safe and effective treatments from becoming known by the masses).

So, they oofed and we will finally benefit, albeit with a heavy, heavy price.

I say draw and quarter the leaders. Charge $150 PPV, and you'll likely eliminate the deficit and have money to share with those harmed.

And they do not break down in contrast dyes used in MRIs.

Remarkable, that the vaxx-loving VA published this. Thank you.

Yes. The old school vaccines had adjuvants added to "provoke immune response". Basically a toxin added to make your body react to it (attempt to remove it) that they call immune response(it's not). But the new mRNA shots need no added adjuvants as the lipid nanoparticles alone are toxic enough to provoke the response.

Thanks for the link to that interesting article on gadolinium. “Toxic” yet everyone wants an MRI……..you would think we could have discovered something less harmful by now! Interesting how they try to destroy chelation therapy. Same old playbook

wily_coyote-genius's avatar

Chelation therapy doesn't align with allopathic (Rockefeller, and Carnegie) way of medicine even though it works.

I wonder if thermographic imaging or ultrasound may work in some instances.

Thanks for posting. Explains, possible implications for 4 time, 1987 - 2009, mri recipient, from head to full body. First 3 by US military medical facilities. Weird symptoms began occurring after the first. I just figured I was born very defective. Grin and bear it, and do your job. I’m still waking up in the morning and grateful god loves me just as I am .

If mRNA was so good there would already be a cure for cancer. Billions of $$ have been spent on cancer research, the heavy lifting has been done yet there has not been an mRNA cancer vaccine since the COVID “vaccine”.

Apparently, a COVID vaccine can be created in less than a year but when faced with a virus that has been around for many many more years with an infinite amount of more knowledge than COVID... we have nothing.

I call bull shit!

"They" don't want to cure cancer.

Unapologetically Me's avatar

There's no money in "the cure". Only loss of long term revenue for Big Pharma and the rest of the oncology industry.

Millions would become unemployed in one fell swoop.

We can't have THAT Kathleen!!

Me: RUN FROM the Cure. Not "for" The Cure.

There is no allopathic big pharma, highly expensive, non-patentable drug cure. Only highly toxic "Gold Standard" treatment protocols which destroy the immune system faster than if NOTHING is attempted.

Curative cancer options abound as you probably well know, including this one:

Well this is disconcerting. I’ve had multiple MRIs with gadolinium contrast injections. I suffer from brain fog which I’ve always thought was from my multiple sclerosis…would be interested to know if they figure out how to test for the gadolinium exposure. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Jamie's avatar

I recall soon after the shot roll out a few people that got injected were made ill/injured after getting the contrast dye for imaging…

Kathy's avatar

Wow thanks for the heads up. Had no idea about gadolinium.

Believe in the goodness of God, but always be aware on His severity to those that voluntarily choose to ignore His commands!

“And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.”

‭‭Exodus‬ ‭34‬:‭6‬-‭7‬ ‭KJV‬‬

It’s amazing to me. He could have said that He would visit the sins of the wicked to a thousand generations, but in His mercy limited it to 3-4 generations. And His mercies, since they are new EVERY morning, those caught in a generational curse can choose to break that curse at any point.

His mercy makes this old heart rejoice.

you've got that reversed, visiting sins to 3 or 4 generations but mercy to thousands...

Good morning. I just read this very good article from Sydney Powell, with her take on several things including the confirmation hearings, the MAGA Mandate, foreign leaders attending the inauguration, the Act Blue donation scandal, and how the RINOs are our worst enemy in the confirmation process. Well worth reading.

Also, does Jake Sullivan know something we don't know? Or did he tell us?

Jpeach's avatar

Why on earth would Jake Sullivan make a comment like that, unless he likes to foreshadow coming events. Jake is a prominent Deep State operator. Very concerning.

Thanks for the link, didn’t know Sidney had a Substack! The Dems were brutal to her so very glad to see she came out of that on top.

'Pete Hegseth just announced that thousands of troops who were fired over the "experimental" COVID vaccine will be "apologized to and reinstated with pay and rank."

Absolutely huge news.

These are some of the best troops we’ve ever had with unshakable courage to do what’s right.'

Jamie's avatar

This is good news, indeed!

The great shadow does seem to have lifted. While the Houston area will always have bad traffic, my drive to work and home the last couple of months has been strangely calm. Instead of drivers taking unsafe chances and practically pushing other cars out of their way, there is a new relaxed feel, compared to the last few years. At first I thought it was the holidays. But we are past the holidays now and I’m still having a fairly peaceful drive to work and home. Can it be that people feel hope and January 20 is just around the corner?

Carlos's avatar

It is not just Houston, you can feel it everywhere.

Thanks be To GOD.

Kim's avatar

Amen! So it’s not just me!

Kim, my husband said the same thing about his commute recently.

That’s so nice to hear. My son lives in suburban Houston and it’s nuts! Chicago is tame by comparison.

Kim's avatar

One of my coworkers lives in a nearby neighborhood and she asked me what was happening on 99? Why is it such an easy drive now? That made me think, hmm…people feel less frustrated with the hope of the incoming administration, perhaps.

In the last few years, drivers have been, for lack of a better word, impatient. Impatient isn’t strong enough. A couple of months ago I had to move onto the shoulder because the truck behind me was going around me whether there was room or not. He was going about 90 mph. The driver in the other lane also had to move onto the other shoulder. It was nuts out there! Thank goodness we were paying attention.

Valerie's avatar

Which way do you go on 99? If you go from 249 towards 45, they still have construction, yes? Or did they finish? I don’t go that way often, but it caused significant back ups for a few months there.

Kim's avatar

I take 99 south from 290 and travel to I10. And there will ALWAYS be construction around here! 😂That we will likely never escape.

Great to see Moderna’s stock tank. Hopefully Pfizer is next. I’m sick of Pfizer commercials preying on the fearful. It’s like advertising Concentration Camps during WW2 as a weekend getaway.

re: mrna stocks. someone despaired yesterday that her mutual funds probably included vaccines. well of course they do. as well as weapons of mass destruction and what ever else turns obscene profits in this unholy age. so do something about it. 1) find out. 2) shift your money in whatever manner it takes to something that aligns with your values OR 3) admit that staying ignorant, making a profit and playing victim are your values and that you are complicit in the evil.

I love the Gandolf quote. I think it encapsulates what we are feeling as a nation and as a world. I also love this quote from Under the Tuscan Sun:

“This house had been waiting for us. I believe that we were supposed to find it, meant to restore its beauty, and life. We needed it as much as it needed us. It was a mutual redemption, a partnership of hope.”

For me, this reflects a deep sense of connection, renewal, and the joy of finding a place to call home, similar to the sense of relief and joy in Gandalf's quote from "The Hobbit."

FINALLY! I feel like I can call America home again. As in a home that brings warmth, comfort, safety, and belonging. A new day is daunting, and I, for one, could not be happier!
