A cornhole murder you won't believe. FBI's Arctic Frost is 100x worse than Watergate. Malone rage-quits ACIP. SCOTUS to rule on asylum + mail ballots — fighting over 'in' and 'day.' And much more.
LOL That's great! It reminds me of a story my mom once told me. She worked in a photography store (I know I am showing my age) and a man came in to buy some small missing piece from his camera. My mom told him "Oh, you don't really need that piece and it costs an arm and leg anyhow." She didn't realize that he was an amputee until after saying that to him. Without missing a beat she said "I see you had to replace that piece before".
After God created Adam, Adam was bored and needed a helpmate. He asked God if He could make him someone who would cook meals for him, make him a sammich when asked, have intelligent conversations and arguments that he could occasionally win, someone who knew how to load a dishwasher and would let him control the remote. God said He could do that but it would cost an arm and a leg. Adam replied, “what can I get for a rib?”
Wrong thread, but I also wanted to say that Malone was never a good guy, even though he claimed to be against the vaxx. He was exposed by Dr Paul Alexander long ago. And yes, I read Dr. Yeadon's Substacks; he puts the kabosh on viruses, and vaccines. He worked for Pfizer.
what you do not comprehend is the fact that there was no pandemic...
The entire psyop was fake phoney and false... As mentioned the profession of virology is a total fraud, based on the virus fiction. Also as mentioned Malone has been on the right side of this equation. His "work" in devoloping the tech is mitigated to some extent by being outspoken.
The English language of this country IS our culture. I guess you will be ok with your grandchildren coming home shouting "Allah Akbar!" They heard on the playground.
"The redefinition of fundamental words enables those in power to deceive the unaware."
Good question. When they stopped teaching root words, word origins, suffixes and prefixes, it leaves you wondering, I get it.
Oo is almost always pronounced "ooh" loose, moose, moon loon, foolish, school,etc
Speaking of close, how do you reckon that with "clothes" which has a the in the middle for pete's sake...
One good "rule" (why isnt that "rool"? Haha)is in a word like "close" is you know the first vowel "o" is long because the e makes it so. "Long" means it makes the sound as itself,
O is "oh"
i is "eye"
E is "eee". So in close, the e tells you the o is "oh"
There are exceptions, always, again because word origins, which they left out of 2nd grade 3rd grade 4th grade educations. READING is the only way to fix it, and using a simple dictionary, which they also do not teach you how to use. Like maps. I could read maps when I was 10 and it made me want to hike and explore. Traveled alone age 19 to visit my grandma from Oklahoma to Massachusettes, no car. By the time I was 23 I was traveling the world because I knew root words and could figure out street signs, maps and instructions in other languages. 23 countries so far.
Interesting ... when you wrote 'close' I thought you were referring to 'near', which doesn't have a long "o". The word has two pronunciations. Fortunately, I agree with what you say, having been schooled in England (and France) 60+ years ago, whilst also being taught German and Latin.
I looked him up on X. Multiple videos of his capabilities. One news story said his limbs had to be amputated at 10 months old due to a sepsis infection.
Same thing happened to my grand niece. She spent time in a hyperbaric chamber to save her hands/feet but to no avail. She caught the infection when visiting her grandfather in the hospital 😳😳
I saw that too. But the pics had him bracing a pistol with one elbow and firing ( still unsure of the trigger problem-modified?) so how do you drive, brace the gun with one elbow, and fire with the other…whatever?
My husband heard the story last night. I believe he had some kind of disease where they had to amputate. But that’s all I know. I’m sure you could find out on line
Bacterial meningitis can cause widespread clotting disorder with micro-emboli causing loss of circulation to the extremities with necrosis requiring amputation.
The jokes make themselves...... You know on FB when something like this is shared, and people get out in the comments section and write.... I'm only here for the comments..... 😂
Seems like three might’ve been able to overpower him I mean, seriously even if it was loaded and on his side and he pulled it out with his hand and fired before anyone noticed what he was doing, but how did that happen? I don’t know what kind of insane world we’re living in, but I want it to end.
I saw video of the alleged shooter shooting a nine mil quite well in fact. He seems to have developed some finger like abilities with the arm bone asymmetry of his shooting arm (if you will). Sort of hard to argue against that sort of evidence lying around on the interwebs.
A few weeks ago, over 300 million lottery tickets were sold in four days. Within hours of the drawing, lottery officials knew how many winning tickets were sold and where the winning tickets were sold... down to the specific store locations. If only our voting system could function the same way.
The United States Election system is broken on purpose thanks to the crazy leftists.
If you look at how democrats set up and manage democratic elections in other countries, you’d be shocked. Polar opposite of what they fail to enforce here. Biggest hypocrites in the history of the world
All this "technical" talk is ridiculous and as irrelevant as the Libtards claiming Black citizens do not have, nor know how to get, ID. As ol' Cabbage Head himself would say, "C'mon, man!"
The Marxist-loving Communists (looking at you, 99% of the "Democrat" Party) are scared to death of a Fraud Free Election because they KNOW for a fact they will be decimated at the polls. Not just lose a seat here or there, but they're looking at a Grand Slam Beat Down - and they are willing to go to ANY lengths not to let that happen, including spending $multi-millions (in both commercials, but especially bribes).
So, stop pretending. And realize that these Mid-term Elections ARE instrumental in whether this Republic lives on - or dies a swift death.
Hopefully, the Supremes will put a large dent in the Voter Fraud Scheme that the Dems have worked so hard to create.
When you can't win on ideas, you cheat. When enough cheaters gain office and secure the majority they build in impregnable wall of regulation and lies around the system so the cheat becomes near impossible to ferret out. When cheating is found and documented, the cheaters rely on the second wall of protection, a judiciary selected through the same system to assure standing is never reached, motions denied, money is spent, and enthusiasm is crushed.
The United States has become a third world nation, politically, through the compromised election process. No confidence, no trust, no participation.
Does this mean states like CA can still have weeks of “Election Day” or will they be required to adhere to this ruling? Does it apply to federal vs local elections?
While I left the Dem side quite some time ago, I will say here that I recall lots of hand wringing on that side when use of “machines” and software were being discussed when George W Bush was President. A Republican.
IIRC, the topic was hot on public broadcast 2004-05. Specifically, Amy Goodman (🤮 ) on Democracy Now had at least a couple of shows on the topic. So did Terri Gross on Fresh Air.
In each case I heard software and hardware pros talk about the issue of security. Essentially, again IIRC, there was no way to ensure either tool could be secured from manipulation.
Those people seem to have gone “poof.” In any case, seems like the GOP ensured implementation, and the Leftists got hooked on the grift. As usual, the GOP joined them. Two wings of the same bird😉
Yes, DJT is going to have to do something about that .... mr thing. He is loading CA Canada with terrorists, illegals & Cartels. And then, they can just walk across the border.
I believe that A. is referring to Canada and it's true. If they're not walking, they're driving semi trucks loaded with Narcotics or the precursors. Check out Sam Cooper, The Bureau, for lots of insight as to what's really happening in Canada. We need a miracle from God, maybe in the form of President Trump and ICE.
Two years ago I visited Space Center Houston. I got a close up look of the space suits and all the different panels, etc. used in the capsule. This was after a recent attempt to land on the moon. I left there thinking, there is no way this actually happened. The technology was rink-a-dink at best.
I cannot remember which astronaut it was, for some reason I am thinking Michael Collins, but a reporter with a cameraman were interviewing him and asked him if he landed on the moon. He emphatically said "yes" Then asked again if he would be willing to swear with his hand on the Bible. he got indignant , but said "yes" again. Said he didn't believe in God anyway. Then the reporter told him he was the only one who would do it. Six of his colleagues refused. He got mortally Po"d at that point , and started yelling for them to leave. Camermaan filmed all the way. As they were clearing the door, Collin's son asked his dad "should we call the CIA and have him waxed?"
I have a good friend and her daughter who lived for years at the Cape and husband worked on the Space program during this time. Her daughter and she both watched the moon shots. Husband no longer alive. But they both swear it was all real. I truly get the skepticism but want to say these are thoughtful and medical freedom (anti plandemic nonsense) people. They aren’t thoughtless idiots.
I don't know if the general public will EVER know for sure but I always 'trusted' the claim, until they had trouble landing something in the last 5 years. How can it be hard now, given all the improvements in technology? That's where my skepticism comes from.
One of the facts that hit me the most was they "LOST" all the original footage. Everything you see today is recorded from tv from the originals. There is also tons more solid proof as well but I just thought, how the hell do you lose that??????
Careful. The flat earthers on this blog will start chiming in. I’ll just leave this nugget. We left a special reflector on the moon that today scientists are still firing a laser at to measure the (increasing) distance that the moon is constantly traveling away from the earth.
Sorry cannot let your moon comment go freely … IF we sent man to the moon it is a reasonable expectation we could do it now 50+ years later. Among other points unmade.
The Saturn V’s were virtually hand made by skillful craftsman. When you look at the problems SLS has had integrating EXISTING technology into a usable rocket, you realize that continuity and commitment are the most valuable aspects in technology. There are 3 takeaways: 1) Musk, despite horrible personality flaws (could you have survived his upbringing?) is an organizational and technical genius, a combination you see 1-3 times in a century 2) Yes, we did it before, and no, we cannot do it now 3) China, with its keep-it-simple-stupid dual Long March 10A approach and huge lead in the lander development is going to beat us to the moon.
David was born today 3/25/60 , just a mire 20 days after me 😁
Weird Sences was a huge Red Pill Book for me when it first came out. I was pissed to find out that the musician's I grew up on, had a pretty sketchy generational background.
Come On Mannnn, Military Intelligence Industry 😡
I'm not buying the rare form of cancer with David McGowan. Just has his book was taking off. Too Deep State Clowns for me.
God loves the Truth Tellers and David McGowan was a good Truth Teller.
I agree with the questions swirling around this Administration ... but they are immaterial:
No one will ever UNDERSTAND Trump until they realize that he is spearheading Western civilization's last, best, only chance to remain the dominant culture on Earth.
Trump is running up the deficit at an alarming rate. He is on his way to starting yet another massive quagmire in the ME, with currently little objectives being met (they still have missiles, leadership/gov is still in place, we have lost our bases, Israel is being pummeled).....Trump is surrounded by tech bros and are busy laying in place a digital slave system....but yeah, he sure is trying to "save" us, or something. Looks to be the complete opposite to me, but I guess I just don't "get it."
Many assumptions here. Deficits have grown over many administrations, not just one, so criticizing spending isn't fair. Middle East politics have always been complicated, and while strategy can be debated, calling it a new quagmire is premature. The “digital slave system” idea seems more speculative than factual; discussions on tech influence are needed, but blaming a control scheme doesn’t advance understanding. You don’t need to support Trump or 'get it,' but distinguishing reality from online assumptions is helpful.
Kim, respectfully, the situation in the gulf is not good. Our bases have been destroyed, much energy infrastructure is damaged/destroyed, and we will have at the very minimum, many months of disrupted oil and fertilizer/sulfur flow, all at the time we need to be planting. The blowback from this is going to be huge. Furthermore, we continue to wholly support the murderous regime in Israel, who is currently trying to annex more land, and has already displaced about 1 million (out of 5 million) Lebanese. This is not going away anytime soon, and judging by past actions, Trump is "all in" with Nuttyahoo.
The end goal with digital enslavement is quite clear, and the foundations are being laid into place. If you have compelling arguments otherwise, I'm all ears, but the roadmap is clearly there and visible for those willing to see it.
Spending - of course both parties are guilty, but we have an admin who came in acting like there were going to do all this magnificent things with our budget, only to increase the deficit at record rates, and then start a war in which we've already burned through a couple hundred billion of assets. How many trillions will it cost to rebuild 2 dozen destroyed bases? Well, actually, it may not cost anything because those countries may not be inviting us back - unless of course, we bribe their governments (which will cost more money) to letting us come back and rebuild.
People here are living in fantasy land. "let the man work" nonsense doesn't hold water when looking at simple realities that have and are occurring.
Johnny-O, I hear you on the instability and the risk of blowback, that part is real and worth watching closely.
But some of what you’re stating as fact just isn’t confirmed at that scale, especially around “all bases destroyed” and the scope of infrastructure losses.
Same with the “digital enslavement” piece. Concern about tech, data, and government overreach is fair. Calling it a clear, coordinated endgame is a leap without hard evidence tying it all together.
On spending, no argument that it’s ugly. But again, that’s been a long bipartisan trend, not something that suddenly started here.
I’m not saying “let the man work.” I’m saying let’s separate what we know from what we fear, otherwise we’re arguing past each other instead of actually getting clarity.
About Johnny Zero; He’s here casting seeds of doubt and division every single day. And, yes, for years now. Which does not mean he/she/it couldn’t be a bot.
Some think it’s Muslim as it was very distressed at the death of the Ayatollah. It’s certainly Leftist and has TDS.
Probably a paid troll because of the motivation to be here everyday even though it must despise Jeff Childers.
It appears to seldom actually read what Jeff writes; just jumps in with the Leftist talking points. Probably earns per comment so makes outrageous statements to keep,the thread going long as possible.
Sure, and I don't necessarily fear all the digital crap, because it can be seen as an opportunity for those of us who are aware of it and know what is coming. For the 90% of zombies in the US who are glued to screens and fantasy sports and whatnot, they will suffer.
The world is always changing and the AI/digital era is quickly coming. Of course I can't guarantee it, but all signs point to it - follow the money and follow the legislation.
From its muddled messaging, haphazard planning, and seemingly shifting goals, this war is a mess. Trump ran explicitly on keeping us out of ME wars. That so many here overlook that betrayal tells me that this is a cult, blindly trusting the leader's words, not actions.
and dont forget all the profiting going on from the war. Really "lucky" million and BILLION dollar hedge bets placed just minutes before Trump does some crazy Truth post. I think Trump has got himself in a mess that he does not know how to get out of. He was lied to by people around him because he has put himself in a Bibi/AIPAC bubble. Americans have been brainwashed so much about both Iran and Israel.
consider how much territory Iarael have ceded away since they became a nation, and I've got no issue with them trying to retain or regain what was lost.
Also Kim, the poster Jeffery Gs post is all assumptions - no one will understand Trump until the realize he is spearheading the last, best chance.....did Trump tell him this personally? Even if so, what actions actually point to this? The dollar is being destroyed, and the Iran conflict very well may hasten the downfall of the petrodollar. His family is grifting off of all this, as well, which makes one question intentions.
Johnny, that’s kind of my point with Jeffery’s post.
Saying Trump is the “last, best chance” is an assumption. But jumping straight to “the dollar is being destroyed,” “this is the end of the petrodollar,” and assigning motives to his family is also a stack of assumptions.
There are legitimate questions in there, deficits, foreign policy risk, conflicts of interest. All fair game. But none of that automatically adds up to a clear, singular narrative in either direction.
We’re all trying to interpret incomplete information in real time. I just think it’s better to stay grounded in what’s actually verifiable instead of locking into conclusions that go way beyond the evidence.
Kim, the dollar has been on a massive decline for many months now (or years). I didn't say this is the end of the petrodollar - I said "may very well hasten the downfall of the petrodollar" - which is a very legitimate comment and observation.
The digital slave system is very real and the four walls of the box are almost complete. They have been building this right in front of our eyes. Give Catherine Austin Fitts a listen...
Phil, I’m all for hearing different viewpoints, and I’ll take a look. Just laying out where I stand so folks get why I question assumptions and stick to what’s actually real.
That said, calling it a fully built “digital slave system” feels like a conclusion first, evidence second. There are real concerns around surveillance, centralization, and how tech and governments intersect, no question. But that doesn’t automatically mean there’s a single, coordinated endgame in place.
A lot of what we’re seeing is a mix of competing interests, policy experiments, and market incentives, not one sealed “box.”
Happy to dig into specific claims if there’s something concrete you think really proves that case.
Understand. Many here are dug into their positions like ticks on an Alabama boar hog. JohnnyO catches a lot of flack because he's done his homework and many of his conclusions rub people here the wrong way. Most believe something because that is what they want to be true. It's easy to emotionally self-identify with such positions. You on the other hand set a good example of reasoning.
Anyone notice how many seats were flipped blue in Florida’s special elections yesterday? As a side note I wasn’t even aware there were any special elections being held. Mar a Lago on now in a Democrat district. These wins have fired up the left for the midterms.
How's the quick easy war working out Alan? So well we are raising the recruitment age to 42 and ditching marijuana restrictions. So much winning. How many more hundreds of billions must be spent for Israel Alan? So very MAGA of you.
What has Trump done? Let's see, allowed dozens of bases to be destroyed, numerous oil refineries, LNG, and sulfur plants to be damaged, spent at least a couple hundred billion and counting, killed all somewhat moderate politicians in Iran whom we wanted to negotiate with, and left with people in charge who do want a nuclear weapon (the ayatollah issued not one, but two fatwahs against nukes).....allowed Israel to suck us into what is becoming a quagmire with millions displaced in the region.....Troops likely to be on the ground soon, our navy has been pushed out of the region.....
What the hell are you guys all smoking to believe this is some grand plan that is benefiting us?
Let's say with the files, it was acceptable to believe Trump was playing some kind of rope a dope to get the world to really want to see the files... for the first six months or so... now that his admin has called it a hoax a dozen times, and has straight out said they aren't going to investigate anyone or arrest anyone or do anything at all... after Bondi goes before congress and makes a complete fool out of herself and keeps her job... as you said, what are these people smoking? This is just pure weapons grade copium at this point. Time to wake up and smell the COFFEE.
Johnny Zero is a major troll on this site. It has been here for years; daily sowing seeds of doubt and division. Doesn’t appear to actually read Jeff’s posts. Would certainly never agree with them. So I figure there has to be a monetary motivation for all this work it does daily. This is probably not its only handle or site.
Hey, point taken, your analysis is superior to the rest of us dimwits (my word, not yours, admittedly)
But if I may play 5-D chess with you for a moment, what is your intention by asking what we've been smoking?
I'd sincerely like to know
That said, your comments ARE accurate ... your points are legit. The difference is that I approach the available information from a different life-view than you ... (and from everybody else as well)
Please, Jeffrey using 5D chess or regular speak, explain how Trump, continuing to explode the debt, erode the dollar, possibly starting a ME quagmire, surrounding himself with tech bro goons of the worst kind, is all to save the west? China and Russia have announced restrictions on chem fertilizer exports now as well, further exacerbating spring planting problems. Just one of many pieces of blowback coming our way.
Trump is making a very big gamble that he has stated many times but you are not listening … he is investing in SETTING FREE THE US ECONOMY… if he is right, our deficits will turn to surplus. Granted it is an investment which costs money and nothing is for certain but … if I had to place my own bets, I would not bet against Mr Trump.
ME business is by no means a “massive quagmire” if it cripples our enemies all the globe over AND leaves us with the biggest lever of all, ENERGY PRODUCTION. You seem dim, Johnny. Are you really reading and following this blog without having any vision of the possibilities? You are truly wasting your time here. I know you’ve been around for years but perhaps it is time to go.
Follow history Belle. Trump's first term = record deficits. Trump's second term so far = record deficits. When was the last time the US engaged in military action in the ME and it turned out well? Hope and fantasy are one thing, history and reality are another.
SIGH, let me explain. Iran was about to build a nuke for the last 500 years, they were literally weeks away for 500 years. That's why we had to bomb those children. And this will be way different than the GWOT because this time there is no support for the war whatsoever, and uhhhh uhhhhhhh just shut up and die for israel you stupid bot
Dont forget about those strange bettings of oil futures found happening minutes before Trump tweets about Iran causing some billions to be won. Definitely some insider trading going on with this war.
and let's not forget the GOP is set to get absolutely demolished in the midterms. Counties Trump won by double digits in 2024 are being flipped in double digits for the dems... IN FLORIDA!
Great comment Jeffrey. Psychology drives decisions, markets, and so forth. That said, a lot of Trump's strategy in many or most areas seems to be that of unpredictability, which generally is not conducive to trust and good market outcomes. Trust in the US has continued to be degraded under Trump, not strengthened.
Where you and I part ways is in speculating how well, or not, things are going.
That said, the question is not that my analysis is smarter than anyone else's ... it's all still analysis
I surmise that Trump's gift of intuition is the game changer here. And it can be argued that in the crucible of the White House, his intuition is turbo charged.
Jeffrey, I strongly disagree re intuition. There have been hints at it during campaigning, but it appears as though that was political maneuvering to be elected. Starting a quagmire in the ME will be the end of his legacy, and the end of US hegemony. Nothing good has come out of neocon wars in the middle east. Ever.
Unpredictability is a tremendous advantage when making deals. It’s one of the reasons Trump is so good at it. He's thrown out the establishment Diplomatic Relations Rulebook and is making deals that are in the long-term interest of the country and Western civilization as a whole.
And I pray for this exact thing, a golden age, every night at 9pm local time (the Big Ben minute). May the Good Lord strengthen our hand and allow our leaders to lead us back to prosperity and humbleness before Him!
Exactly. His haters have a hard time seeing it because they assume he’s evil, one way or another. I see a patriotic American with a yuuuuuge ego who doesn’t want to be Hitler 2.0, he wants to be George Washington 2.0. It’s seems undeniably obvious to me: he doesn’t want to be hated, to be seen as a failure and loser. He wants the wins, the cheers, accolades, vindication, and a glorious golden legacy.
Doomers and blackpillers are too impatient to see the big plan being set up. Bondi must be preparing plenty of bombshells that will help win the midterms. Nothing else makes sense.
"...No one will ever UNDERSTAND Trump until they realize that he is spearheading Western civilization's last, best, only chance to remain the dominant culture on Earth."
Since the definition of words is the topic today... Depends upon what is meant by "dominant culture". War is one means to domination. But what does it mean when the culture that is doing the "dominating" becomes something else entirely as compared to what the culture represented just a few decades ago? What is Western Civilization today as compared to what we represented in the year 1900 or even 1950? Or is the actual domination of the rest of the planet the only raison d'etre? Power for power's sake?
Two thousand years ago, the resurrected Messiah gave us God's authorization, indeed His command, to dominate the world... and the method for doing so:
Matthew 28: 18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations..."
After giving His commission, the Messiah ascended to the throne of God where He was glorified as "King of kings and Lord of lords" to rule and reign over history till the end of time.
This commission powered Western Civilization for 2,000 years. But if the salt of Western Civilization loses it's flavor, then the Lord tells us that it is good for nothing except to be trodden under foot. However...
2 Chronicles: 14 if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
As an aside, it is my belief that Charlie Kirk was responding to this Word and that is the reason he was murdered. May his example give us some courage. America needs a new generation of pastors and shepherds to rise up and boldly proclaim to America's congregations the truth of the glorified King's commission to disciple the NATIONS much as was done by the Black Robe regiments of 1776 when Americans threw off tyranny and affirmed that "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights..."
I feel compelled to add something that I always take for granted. I was educated in the 50s and 60s when the basic tenets of Western Civilization were still taught to young people. Today, young people are not only ignorant of these tenets but they are taught that Western Civilization is evil. And little is taught in the churches anymore that contradicts that. Now churches are obsessed with escapist end-of-the-world eschatologies and a disavowal of any meaningful application of God's Law to culture and society. Satan is viewed as the "ruler of this world" contrary to the clear Biblical declaration that Christ is King and judges history from His throne at the right hand of the Father; that Satan is only a squatter to be evicted by Christ's Body on earth, the church militant empowered by the Holy Spirit against which no evil spirit can prevail.
Today, "rights" are defined as "civil" rights granted by Government which can easily be taken away. Gone is the understanding that unalienable Rights are endowed by our Creator and comprise a Higher Law to which Government is subservient and must be held accountable to. The truths that our forefathers held as "self-evident" no longer inform the functions of Government and citizens are reduced to serfs who must ask permission to even exist.
This is the current condition of Western Civilization. As a result, we now find ourselves increasingly "trodden under foot" by the invasion of an alien and hostile Islamic culture who are at war with us and the values we historically represented. This is a clear fulfillment of Christ's warnings should the salt of our culture lose it's flavor....
Matthew 5: 13-20 “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.
14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
17 “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. 19 Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.
Many people are allergic to concept of defending themselves and their people and culture. It's been inculcated from an early age by the leftists and nihilists (to ignore spiritual motivations) who are recently close enough to their goals to de-cloak.
Abetted by people who think they will make a buck off it (corporate PE and tech, and politicians) and somehow escape unscathed. OTOH maybe they truly don't mind living on an armed estate in a functionally 3rd-world country.
The US government is nearing it's last days. I look at it as a dying man. What we are fighting for is the assets of the dying man. Do they go to his kids, or do they go to strangers?
The assets are the culture, the religious foundation and the demographics of the country.
Trump's goal is a MAGA congress that can make bigger cuts. The next step will be crushing Democrats in November. The entitlement fraud investigations will be body blows. Big names and many smaller ones will face federal charges. The theft of billions by foreigners and politicians will destroy the Democrat brand as the “party of compassion."
He’s also rearranging the international order so we can spend less on NATO and the Middle East. E.g. with the Iran regime gone, Israel will no longer need any US aid.
For over 200 years we had one day and one day only on which to vote, with mail-in ballots for the military overseas and the infirm. If you cannot be bothered to take the time to vote on the one day allowed, oh well, I really don't care. Think of having only one day that you can purchase liquor. Those same people complaining about one-day elections and presenting ID, will most assuredly make it to the liquor store that day, WITH ID in hand, with no problem. Think of Election DAY in the same way.
I occasionally buy allergy meds for my spouse that I am allergic to and would kill me. The allergy is on file. Guess what - they ask for my ID at the pharmacy but don’t say a thing about the fact that the meds I’m buying will kill me if I take them.
Somehow it’s too much to ask to show an ID for voting? 🤦♀️ Make it make sense.
During covid when my governor ordered the liquor stores closed to begin 3 days later, a line of people formed who plainly understood that the stores were closing in 3 days, not 4 days, or until the liquor was sold out. Give people the incentive and you can figure out the result.
What about people with jobs that travel? Truck drivers, pilots, flight attendants, cruise ship personnel, commercial fishing, commercial shipping, etc? It's a conundrum.
Amazing isn't it that we must present ID to open a bank account, invest, buy alcohol, fly, if we are stopped for a traffic violation, buy cold medicine (!), medical care, sign up for Social Security, etc. But to vote, the most sacred duty of citizenship, it is a free-for-all in the Wild Wild West.
Here’s what’s ironic. Twenty plus years ago, when involved in clinical research and submitting approval packages to the FDA, we saw how the FDA looked down on anything from the WHO regarding drug development. The FDA rejected the WHOs “expert report” methodology as “less rigorous” and not meeting the US gold standard of placebo controlled trials standing on their own. Our clients, that tried to use WHO data and or European trials, were almost always told they had to run trials in America on American consumers.
How time changed. The WHO morphed into a global, power hungry leviathan, and the FDA became the WHOs bitch. Only took one generation.
I recall now, there was an evolution of these very sensible regulatory agencies when they discovered the charm of international travel and frequent flyer miles… You can even smell this on Dr. Fauci and how excited he was to work with other countries…
Dissolving the CDC is a nice thought, but would take congress to get done, since the origin of the agency was codified into law in the mid 1940s, and expanded over the years. I doubt there would be even moderate support among conservatives. The law has been “updated” over time to give the agency FEMA like powers. Fortunately, some brave litigators like Jeff Childers, have won cases to establish guardrails on the CDC’s perceived powers. That said, among the public health zealots, there is support for very broad Orwellian measures such as contact tracing IDs and legally enforceable quarantine powers.
RFKjr has always had a nearly impossible job, because to get real change in public health, FDA, CDC, NIH, etc., he has to change minds and open the door for civil litigation. The only way that works is through hard data, clearly showing statistically significant findings. I learned this from 10 years in clinical research. Until you show these folks double blind placebo controlled studies, few minds will change.
This is why RFKjr has commissioned something like 100 studies on various topics. Moderate thinkers will eventually be swayed by data. And, if enough studies are available, will open the door via litigation thresholds courts use to prevent lawsuits. This is the plan RFKjr came up with to bypass congressional action.
The ACIP is another matter. An offshoot of the type of advisory committee the FDA uses for scientific discussions related to drug development, however, they have no authority. They do make for great PR, and I suspect the ACIP morphed into a cheerleader for vaccines. Any meaningful dissent was always ignored. Perhaps letting the ACIP die in the vine is good.
"My take is that the Administration is rethinking the ACIP’s role altogether. The committee is as useless a group of grifters and hangers-on as ever met in a swanky hotel conference room. It doesn’t do anything. It only makes recommendations. It was just a beard, a facade that rubber-stamped whatever the CDC wanted to do, and in the ultra-rare cases when it does oppose the CDC —such as when Biden’s CDC approved the jabs for kids— the CDC just ignores it and does what it wants anyway."
"I say: abolish the ACIP. Since it’s probably mandated by federal statute, and can’t just be waved away, the Administration can stymie it by not appointing any better-credentialed members, and let the judge’s order do the rest."
Completely agree, Mrs. RW. Because the group had no teeth, so to speak, maybe there’s a plan to create something new? I did like and find tremendous value in public facing information given at their meetings. It was important information that I have used when attempting to educate those who refuse to read books such as Aaron Siri’s Vaccines, Amen.
In that regard, I agree. I never watched an ACIP meeting until they wanted to jab the kids with the clot shot, but since the CDC just does what they want is there still a point to it?
Maybe a public facing panel to inform what the trials have shown.
How about the Immunization Trials Informational Panel (ITIP)?
It’s a useless operation. Maybe there IS something better. Nothing operates on our own timeframe and I’m interested in what happens. My only grandchild was injured substantially by a vaccine but I’m certain change will come. Meanwhile, more people and parents are waking up and taking control of circumstances themselves. We are basically trying to overcome an established religion with rites and a kind of twisted liturgy. Takes time.
Jayne are you actually attached to the ACIP at all? I see Jeff’s point that it does the bidding of its master and no more. At best it is a vestigial appendage from the days when people like me could be a little comforted when terrible decisions came out of “committees” rather than blanket decree. We aren’t living in that time anymore, we have thankfully stripped away the lie that science was the deciding factor in CDC recommendations. Covid did that. Let’s see what RFKJR does now eh? I personally have no use for the ACIP if he has no use for it.
With their massive confusion over that difficult word 'in', the Dems are channeling their inner Bill Clinton: "It depends on what the meaning of 'is', is."
The “day” and “in” discussions remind me of the classic tweet: “It's amazing how much leftist discourse is just them pretending not to understand things, thus making discourse impossible.”
William… it is…. Opps, there’s that questionable “is” again… moving on… so on Malone quitting ACIP… wondering if “this” influenced his departure?
💥 The cancellation of the CDC’s ACIP meeting halted what would have been the first-ever federal review of COVID vaccine injuries at the CDC.💥
Judge Brian Murphy blocked ACIP and all corresponding meetings because the proceedings and recommendations were deemed to be causing harm.
For the COVID vaccine injured, the harm didn’t come from ACIP’s proceedings, it came from stopping them.
Cody Hudson’s family has been actively seeking avenues for his case to be reviewed, while he continues to suffer severe, life-threatening complications, including multiple strokes.
At the time of this cancellation, his mother was fighting to get him care from inside the hospital after his fifth stroke.
With the meeting cancelled, this mother's desperate plea for help is blocked from entering the halls of the CDC.
How long are patients expected to wait for help? What happens when the judicial system drags this out until it's too late for young men like Cody?
well recently Trump made a comment to the effect that all vaccines are poison - finally - so perhaps there is something in the works - we can only hope so
Malone is a narcissist and, in my opinion, untrustworthy….and that is the best case scenario relative to his role in the Covid shenanigans.
And I have resigned myself to the fact that OWS will never be revealed for what it was and is….nor will the current administration or the one that follows it take steps to ensure that another OWS does not occur. Heck the key components for another round still exist….nor one is coming to save us or to serve truth.
I do agree with JC relative to the voting issue. I have always felt it should be one day. The problem with early voting….what happens if something occurs (accident, disability, death, revealing of information or uncomfortable facts) between when a person does his/her early voting and the actual Election Day? They don’t get to change their vote?!
But like with the COVID debacle….there will be no real reform because both parties look to leverage power not truth, fairness and justice. That’s politics….and more and more….politics don’t serve the public as much as it serve the masters who own us. Technocracy incoming.
I didn’t see it on Jeff’s post, but he’s doing a live event at 2:00 PM called “Disinformation Dozen with Jeff Childers.” If you search YouTube it will come up.
I figure Eastern. That’s the time zone I’m in and I’d think YT would list whatever time zone the user is in. Did you hit the link and see something else if you’re not in EST?
I’m not Eastern. And I’ve not yet clicked on the link to watch it until I have the time to invest in watching a video, which I will do later. Thanks for your comment.
"The complicated legal question in this case is: in 1845, when Congress set the “Tuesday after the first Monday in November” as “Election Day,” did it mean ballots must be received by that day? Or just cast by that day?"
It seems abundantly clear to me that they didn't even mean "by" that day. They meant ON that day. Election DAY, not Election Season.
The entirety of "early" voting should be banned as unconstitutional as well.
It's Election DAY. You vote ON, and ONLY on, THAT day. And YOU do so, with YOUR ballot. It's not up to the USPS to deliver your ballot on YOUR behalf whenever they get around to it.
You vote, you submit your ballot, and you do both ONLY on Election Day.
What about Armed forces and Americans living abroad, and Americans living in remote areas (e.g. rural Alaska) or otherwise unable to get to a polling station? I would allow exceptions for need, but ballots must be received by Election Day.
Same as was done *before* we had broad, widespread mail-in voting. Absentee ballots for overseas military and other provable, documentable cases where in-person is literally impossible, not merely an alleged inconvenience.
(Also, IINM, absentee ballots were never even counted in certain elections, unless their number exceeded the margin of victory in the races.)
Make Election Day a federal holiday, too, which would make it easier for most working people to vote in person.
In most countries elections are on the weekend. Many historians say that the reason for Tuesday elections was to make it difficult for workers to vote. And remember you have to vote where you live, not near where you work.
First, when the first Tuesday after the first Monday was established in 1845, almost EVERYONE worked near where they lived.
Second, U.S. elections are held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November due to 19th-century agricultural, religious, and economic considerations. Congress chose the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November because it was the most convenient day for 19th-century farmers. They traveled on horseback or with wagons, so a Tuesday gave them travel time without interfering with Sunday church services or Wednesday market days.
If it was easier for farmers, it certainly was no more difficult for "workers", most of whom, in 1845, were farmers, anyway.
That makes sense for the time the majority of voters were farmers, largely in the 19th century. But by the time of the Progressive Era, our cities (particularly in the North) were filled with factory workers, people the Progressive experts and elites did not trust. In addition many were fairly new to the country, many who were Catholic and therefore, suspect. With the advent of the Recall and the Initiative, Progressives looked for ways to make voting as inconvenient as possible for working class voters. There are a number of Progressive Era histories that have criticized Progressives for their elitism.
Yes, but my response was to the "most historians say that the reason for Tuesday elections was to make it difficult for workers to vote" which was not the case. If that's what they think, then most historians have that wrong.
Regarding the factory workers, they surely lived close to their workplaces. We weren't a commuting society back then. And certainly closer to their voting precincts than farmers who had to travel by wagon for a day to vote. So they got that wrong, too.
Voting on Election Day Tuesday, and ONLY on that day, has not been a problem for most of Americans for most of the century-plus that we've been doing it that way. Regardless of whether it's made a holiday, having polls open for 12 or 14 hours should be sufficient, IF the pollsters don't deliberately make things difficult, as they do seemingly ONLY in Democrat-run precincts.
A federal holiday wouldn’t help for many people since lots of employers only observe a select few of them. There would have to be some kind of incentive or encouragement to give the day off to pretty much everyone except critically important jobs like first responders.
Those ballots must be requested with a signature card on file ie. already registered to vote. They are called"absentee ballots"
The problem is "mail in' ballots, which are mass mailed to people that did not request them and often to places that are not even habitable: gas stations, Walmarts etc. They are dumped on floors in apartment buildings for anyone to take and fill out. This began with Covid. (The very same people afraid to vote in person were able to do a myriad of things in masks like shop, go out to eat and buy liquor and marijuana with an ID they can't seem to muster for voting purposes)
Very rarely do you see this distinction made.
STILL, the onus should be on the requestor to get their ballot in on time. If it's important enough to you, you'll make the time and hit the deadlines.
Also, Congress passed the Real ID law before Covid. They had no problem insisting you provide a birth certificate to obtain one of you want to fly domestically and enter government buildings. No mention of the requirement of the Real ID anymore and in fact they created a TSA work around where you just pay $45 at the airport. No more enforcement of the actual law. We began the process of obtaining birth certificates, divorce decrees and marriage licenses well before the deadline only to have the DMV shut down during covid. Since applying for a passport requires all the same documentation and allows international travel AND serves as ID to vote, we opted for regular drivers licenses and passports.
People like Joe and Mika pretending like they don't have passports is laughable.
People like Hakeem Jeffries saying ICE is going to kill people and shoot up airports is slanderous and fear mongering. He should be at the very least censured.
BTW,I would bet ICE agents are far better trained than TSA agents any day of the week
Mail in voting did not start with Covid. Many states were already doing this (especially on the West coast. They took a few years to ‘prove’ there was no difference in outcome. Yeah, right.) Covid is when many other states adopted this awful practice with no idea what they were doing. All of it to rig elections.
Yep, WA almost elected a Republican for governor until some ballots were conveniently found in someone's trunk. Voting results have been pretty much one-sided ever since.
Oddly enough (or at least I think so), Pennsylvania adopted mail in voting on Oct. 19, 2019 just months before covid. It's almost as though the Democrats knew what was coming and were told to take advantage of it in order to stop Trump. Our local paper printed exactly one paragraph when the governor signed the bill. I saw it and thought nothing of it until Trump lost in the 2020 election.
Sue, I’ve been mentioning the REAL ID on social media! Why is no one (reporters, congresspeople, influencers, podcasters) silent about this? It makes me want to tear my hair out!
At the time of my renewal, all I had to take was my BC. I couldn’t find it so I ordered a new one. Easy!
I’m also divorced, but no other docs were required. Granted, I’m still in the same area in the same state I was born, married and divorced in.
Did you see Alex Muse's Substack from a day or so ago in which he argued that TSA properly belongs in Dante's 8th circle of hell and should be abolished. I remember years ago people complained a LOT about TSA agents liking it a little too much in doing their security checks when it came to touching people's bodies.
All we need to do is return to the old rules for who can vote by mail. We did it one time when we knew we'd be out of the country in a presidential election year.
In addition to military out of country, infirm? Hospitalized? Jailed but eligible to vote? There are several categories that need exception. How do you propose to handle these?
Same as was done *before* we had broad, widespread mail-in voting. Absentee ballots for overseas military and other provable, documentable cases where in-person is literally impossible, not merely an alleged inconvenience.
(Also, IINM, absentee ballots were never even counted in certain elections, unless their number exceeded the margin of victory in the races.)
Make Election Day a federal holiday, too, which would make it easier for most working people to vote in person.
So you do not favor a solid "ONLY on" scenario. With the absentee exceptions you point out I can agree with you. Even those in the past, and present, need additional scrutiny, however. I've voted in both state and federal elections from many places, some overseas, because of my military career. NEVER missed a vote. Federal was pretty easy due to military support getting ballots. State were a different matter, and in my opinion understandably so. Pretty much on my own to deal with getting a state ballot.
I'm aware of the don't count 'em unless we need to practice and from a purely mathematical and efficiency standpoint I agree with the practice. However, there is that little hair on the back of my neck that says hey, I went to the trouble, my vote is my Constitutional right, and you should count it. I'm on the fence with that one and wonder about the legality of it.
Make Election Day a holiday, certified US citizen voters use paper ballots, watermarked, ink stained, hand counted. Totals known by 10-11 pm. Fireworks for celebration through out the country. Just like the 4th of July.
Bar code and Q code the ballots, then they are trackable and assigned to each citizen. This is how the lottery knows how many winners there were as well as what locations sold tickets.
Most states have laws allowing time off to vote. Some of the repercussions if the employer doesn’t follow the laws are pretty large.
I’d also think that if it were a federal holiday those remaining states would finally get their act together as well. Having it on a weekend would be great.
The case in Louisana about the minority districts is the realgame changer. If ruled that a minority district violates the Civil Rights statute, then gerrymandering is done. SCOTUS should rule that gerrymandering is unconstitutional as well.
Remember when Jeff talked about how important “Missouri v Biden case is… opps another case of what “is” is… well news “is” …. ⬇️
BREAKING WIN: Government Agencies BANNED From Pressuring Big Tech to Censor Americans for 10 Years
A Consent Decree in Missouri v. Biden now bars the CDC, CISA, and the U.S. Surgeon General from coercing social media platforms to suppress protected speech for the next decade.
NICOLAS HULSCHER, MPH

READ IN APP
by Nicolas Hulscher, MPH
In a historic win for free speech, the U.S. Surgeon General, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) have been legally restricted from pressuring social media companies to silence Americans for the next decade. This comes from a formal Consent Decree in Missouri v. Biden, one of the most consequential First Amendment cases in modern history.
Sasha Latypova wrote about this recently. Apparently people have been shadow banned when trying to be restacked onto larger stack audiences when discussing controversial topics. Its unfortunate, but I'm not surprised.
He only has so much time and the subjects he chooses to write about are at his discretion. Maybe he didn’t feel like he had enough time to do the subject justice or preferred to wait to write about it or let others discuss it instead 🤷♀️ I get that people are eager to get Jeff’s take on important events and issues but we also have to realize he only has so much time and it is his Substack and he gets to choose what he wants to write about.
I'd like the end of gerrymandering. We have a vote in VA in April to allow the (democratic) legislature to re-gerrymander the voting districts just for the mid-tems and then return to the original districts. They are ironically selling it as a proposal for "Fair elections". Just draw a clean grid on a map and each district is where the square lands. No torturous twists in the district lines to favor one party or another.
Learned two new words today :) Elucidating - means explaining something or making things more clear. Schadenfreude - pleasure/joy from hearing about the troubles of others.
@Cat- SOOOOO worth the trouble!!! German is a funny language; they weren't happy with one word to describe something. One word in German is a combination of many words to describe one thing (A German friend explained that to me).
Arctic Frost is clearly illegal, a full on weaponization of the judicial system and treason. They have names of judges and prosecutors. And proof. Obama and Biden were clearly driving or supporting it. WHERE ARE THE ARRESTS, SUCCESSFUL PROSECUTIONS, PERP WALKS AND JAIL TIME? Do we need to employ a military justice structure?
That was my second guess but am now happy you own it! Haha… I can’t get Monty Python out of my head on this though. This must have artificial limbs I’m thinking… it is sick/sad though and I’m likely going to hell for making fun of it!
Cornhole murderer? Where are the fingerprints? I don't think the prosecutor has a leg to stand on in this case. 🙊
LOL That's great! It reminds me of a story my mom once told me. She worked in a photography store (I know I am showing my age) and a man came in to buy some small missing piece from his camera. My mom told him "Oh, you don't really need that piece and it costs an arm and leg anyhow." She didn't realize that he was an amputee until after saying that to him. Without missing a beat she said "I see you had to replace that piece before".
After God created Adam, Adam was bored and needed a helpmate. He asked God if He could make him someone who would cook meals for him, make him a sammich when asked, have intelligent conversations and arguments that he could occasionally win, someone who knew how to load a dishwasher and would let him control the remote. God said He could do that but it would cost an arm and a leg. Adam replied, “what can I get for a rib?”
Booo! 😉
Please tell me he laughed. It'll make me feel better about laughing.
Yes. She said they laughed.
😅🤣😂
Priceless! 😉🤣🤣🤣
I read this to my husband and was laughing so hard as I saw the last line, I could hardly get the words out! Good thing I don't know this man....
Awesome! Glad it made you laugh since there is nothing better! My mom would really love that you laughed at it too!
"groan", lol.
Even more of a "groan" considering that "cornhole" is played differently in prison.
Ned 🤣
You all are having way too much fun with this one. 😃
First thought at your comment was, Is that a reference to Deliverance.... 😂
Ned Beatty was never the same after that shoot.
😂🤣😂🤣 That movie is so quotable. Poor Ned, bet he never realized what it'd do to his career....
If you hear banjos RUN!
indeed it is
Freshmen level science is laden with definitions. That is mostly what it entails.
Lets define and review shall we?
An "expert" is a paid goon who is happy to lend their credential to a "study"
favorable to the concern paying. In the case of the Medical Cartel and Big P
it requires no clairvoyance to predict outcome...
Leveling the charge of "not expert" is leading the clueless over the cliff.
Its a favorite of the fake news echo chamber.
Dr. Malone is a Renegade MD hailing from the academic fraud that is "virology".
Virus as agents of infectious dis-ease DO NOT EXIST. If a restaurant is as good
as its last meals he has been serving some good grinds. That does not dismiss
his earlier shortcomings and fraud... Just saying.
Experts in vaccines?? We have Dr. Mike Yeadon top tier renegade virus R&D exec. who
exposes the entire fraud. And the agenda underlying...
Some simply used definitions and reason with Doctorate level science degree, and...
Common Sense. Health does not, nor could it, come from needles. High school level didactic
skills more than adequate.
Wrong thread, but I also wanted to say that Malone was never a good guy, even though he claimed to be against the vaxx. He was exposed by Dr Paul Alexander long ago. And yes, I read Dr. Yeadon's Substacks; he puts the kabosh on viruses, and vaccines. He worked for Pfizer.
SO, how was Malone exposed? For what exactly?
As Jeff C. said, Dr. Malone was a pandemic warrior. And he is still fighting the good fight - with the highest standards and values.
what you do not comprehend is the fact that there was no pandemic...
The entire psyop was fake phoney and false... As mentioned the profession of virology is a total fraud, based on the virus fiction. Also as mentioned Malone has been on the right side of this equation. His "work" in devoloping the tech is mitigated to some extent by being outspoken.
Verification is quite useful. At some threshold the entire "virus" fraud
will be exposed for legions of clueless. They will be very upset.
They will also realize it required blind allegiance...
Truth Seeker - so "will be" means none of your predictions have happened.
No. They are hardly mine. Not sure what realm you are waltzing in,
thought there are better options. Certainty is one.
one way to consider "threads" is to disregard lanes...
I can’t help but wonder what happened to Dayton Webber that left him a quadriplegic amputee…
AI says he had a blood infection as a child causing him to loose his limbs.
Good grief. Its "lose". A 3rd grade word with only 4 letters.
You need to relax
The English language of this country IS our culture. I guess you will be ok with your grandchildren coming home shouting "Allah Akbar!" They heard on the playground.
"The redefinition of fundamental words enables those in power to deceive the unaware."

Thanks for not taking it to a crazy extreme.
yes but... why is it different for chose and choose?
Good question. When they stopped teaching root words, word origins, suffixes and prefixes, it leaves you wondering, I get it.
Oo is almost always pronounced "ooh" loose, moose, moon loon, foolish, school,etc
Speaking of close, how do you reckon that with "clothes" which has a the in the middle for pete's sake...
One good "rule" (why isnt that "rool"? Haha)is in a word like "close" is you know the first vowel "o" is long because the e makes it so. "Long" means it makes the sound as itself,
O is "oh"
i is "eye"
E is "eee". So in close, the e tells you the o is "oh"
There are exceptions, always, again because word origins, which they left out of 2nd grade 3rd grade 4th grade educations. READING is the only way to fix it, and using a simple dictionary, which they also do not teach you how to use. Like maps. I could read maps when I was 10 and it made me want to hike and explore. Traveled alone age 19 to visit my grandma from Oklahoma to Massachusettes, no car. By the time I was 23 I was traveling the world because I knew root words and could figure out street signs, maps and instructions in other languages. 23 countries so far.
Interesting ... when you wrote 'close' I thought you were referring to 'near', which doesn't have a long "o". The word has two pronunciations. Fortunately, I agree with what you say, having been schooled in England (and France) 60+ years ago, whilst also being taught German and Latin.
I looked him up on X. Multiple videos of his capabilities. One news story said his limbs had to be amputated at 10 months old due to a sepsis infection.
poor baby
Same thing happened to my grand niece. She spent time in a hyperbaric chamber to save her hands/feet but to no avail. She caught the infection when visiting her grandfather in the hospital 😳😳
I’m so sorry!
And why he decided to take up corn hole, of all things 🤪
I wonder what was said that set him off to pull the trigger.
How in the world did he pull a trigger without fingers??????
There is video of him firing a pistol. At least ten rounds.
I saw that too. But the pics had him bracing a pistol with one elbow and firing ( still unsure of the trigger problem-modified?) so how do you drive, brace the gun with one elbow, and fire with the other…whatever?
Yes!!! My thoughts too.
My husband heard the story last night. I believe he had some kind of disease where they had to amputate. But that’s all I know. I’m sure you could find out on line
It was a bacterial infection when he was an infant.
Geez wonder what cause that?
the hospital
Bacterial meningitis can cause widespread clotting disorder with micro-emboli causing loss of circulation to the extremities with necrosis requiring amputation.
You got that from Gutfeld last night!
Tyrus was on a roll!
Tyrus, not Titus
He also said, they couldn't handcuff him
But he was armed, sorta.
The lady guest on Gutfeld last night said something similar… joking that an “unarmed armed man” allegedly shot someone. 😝
I have it recorded. Can’t wait to watch it. Tyrus is my fave!
The jokes make themselves...... You know on FB when something like this is shared, and people get out in the comments section and write.... I'm only here for the comments..... 😂
He absolutely was! One after another!
Tyrus definitely was! I laughed and laughed at that segment! Everyone had something hilarious to say!
It was a really funny episode 🤣😅
It was. Tyrus was in rare form.
Absolutely appreciate the Cornhole Continuity throughout today's C&C.
I can't wait for the Dateline episode.
I'm sorry but I don't believe this story AT ALL. Seems they're testing our discernment. That or humiliation ritual.
They actually showed video of him firing guns at a range. He certainly CAN do it. I just can’t imagine how while driving …
Seems like three might’ve been able to overpower him I mean, seriously even if it was loaded and on his side and he pulled it out with his hand and fired before anyone noticed what he was doing, but how did that happen? I don’t know what kind of insane world we’re living in, but I want it to end.
What hand?
Exactly! That’s what I’m saying, must have taken a bit longer than just pulling it out and pulling the trigger …
Seems more like a Monty Python skit
This shall not pass!
Yes! So ridiculous.
Probably the element of surprise was in his favor.
Indeed. What set this guy off?
I wondered too. NY Post story says it was a Tesla so maybe self driving.
He was probably steering with his knee…uh...
Does he have knees....
Possibly in a rigged vehicle where he uses his stumps at least for gas and brakes. It is a good question.
This whole story has me stumped.
I want to see him reload.
exactly. ive seen it too
You guys are all absolutely retarded if you believe any of this. Hahaha I'm sorry but come the fuck on get a grip on reality. 😂😂😭😭😭
I saw video of the alleged shooter shooting a nine mil quite well in fact. He seems to have developed some finger like abilities with the arm bone asymmetry of his shooting arm (if you will). Sort of hard to argue against that sort of evidence lying around on the interwebs.
He may be blamed for Charlie Kirk murder or the missing grandma or the attempted Trump assassination.
Paging Kash.
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/0QmPjTkX70Q
He has a YouTube channel with this video of him loading and shooting a gun.
I’m wondering how they handcuffed him when he was arrested. 🤔
Duct tape.
I know I am going straight to Hades, these comments have me ROFL.
Hell in a hand basket...oh, wait. ; )
Not sure if prison has a cornhole league but if the charges stick he’ll have plenty of time to learn a new hobby like crocheting.
Prison rules are different...
😂😂
That comment would get you arrested for hate crime in Starmer’s Gulag (the UK)😊.
Only if the guy was Muslim 😑
*Ba-dum tisss*
He definitely couldn’t have been “armed” and dangerous.
Seemed pretty handy with a gun...
I'm stumped how he pulled this off.
Looks like I will be joined on that highway to hell, I haven't laughed this much so early in the day.
No kidding 🤣😆 Between Jeff and the comments, I’ve been chuckling nonstop here 😂
There’s two witnesses
The Judge wont be able to toss the Cornhole Murder charge out of court?
After reading the opening "corn hole" tale, all I could think is "WHAT DESPERATE CREATURES WE MERE MORTALS BE"!!
haha
And I just heard the rimshot in my head!
A few weeks ago, over 300 million lottery tickets were sold in four days. Within hours of the drawing, lottery officials knew how many winning tickets were sold and where the winning tickets were sold... down to the specific store locations. If only our voting system could function the same way.
The United States Election system is broken on purpose thanks to the crazy leftists.
And thanks to the bought and sold RINOs who do nothing meaningful to change the situation.
If you look at how democrats set up and manage democratic elections in other countries, you’d be shocked. Polar opposite of what they fail to enforce here. Biggest hypocrites in the history of the world
Oh both sides are perfectly happy with current arrangements I’d say.
And each ballot could have a individual serial number just like our currency does
Every lottery ticket sold have a Q code and bar code; no reason at all that couldn't be done with ballots.
You mean like a bar code? What cutting edge technology. Mistakes were not made.
All this "technical" talk is ridiculous and as irrelevant as the Libtards claiming Black citizens do not have, nor know how to get, ID. As ol' Cabbage Head himself would say, "C'mon, man!"
The Marxist-loving Communists (looking at you, 99% of the "Democrat" Party) are scared to death of a Fraud Free Election because they KNOW for a fact they will be decimated at the polls. Not just lose a seat here or there, but they're looking at a Grand Slam Beat Down - and they are willing to go to ANY lengths not to let that happen, including spending $multi-millions (in both commercials, but especially bribes).
So, stop pretending. And realize that these Mid-term Elections ARE instrumental in whether this Republic lives on - or dies a swift death.
Hopefully, the Supremes will put a large dent in the Voter Fraud Scheme that the Dems have worked so hard to create.
Voting machines using the 'net?
When you can't win on ideas, you cheat. When enough cheaters gain office and secure the majority they build in impregnable wall of regulation and lies around the system so the cheat becomes near impossible to ferret out. When cheating is found and documented, the cheaters rely on the second wall of protection, a judiciary selected through the same system to assure standing is never reached, motions denied, money is spent, and enthusiasm is crushed.
The United States has become a third world nation, politically, through the compromised election process. No confidence, no trust, no participation.
Does this mean states like CA can still have weeks of “Election Day” or will they be required to adhere to this ruling? Does it apply to federal vs local elections?
Emily - we all already know that even IF the law goes into effect, CA will not comply. They will do their own thing that favors the left.
THIS ruling will apply to Federal, but locals could use the decision to enforce it locally.
All the ballot proposals have until mid-December to be “called.” Wonder why they always pass? 🤬
While I left the Dem side quite some time ago, I will say here that I recall lots of hand wringing on that side when use of “machines” and software were being discussed when George W Bush was President. A Republican.
IIRC, the topic was hot on public broadcast 2004-05. Specifically, Amy Goodman (🤮 ) on Democracy Now had at least a couple of shows on the topic. So did Terri Gross on Fresh Air.
In each case I heard software and hardware pros talk about the issue of security. Essentially, again IIRC, there was no way to ensure either tool could be secured from manipulation.
Those people seem to have gone “poof.” In any case, seems like the GOP ensured implementation, and the Leftists got hooked on the grift. As usual, the GOP joined them. Two wings of the same bird😉
Sounds like the betting on Iran.

And, wasn’t it a wealthy group (gang) in Australia who was the puppet master in buying all those Texas lotto tickets? Foreign meddling I say!
Good point.
WEF $$$$
And the British Labour party sent activists to the US to interfere in the Kackles vs Trump election!!!
Plus Lloyds of London has been directing the world economy for over 350 years.
Yes, DJT is going to have to do something about that .... mr thing. He is loading CA Canada with terrorists, illegals & Cartels. And then, they can just walk across the border.
I believe that A. is referring to Canada and it's true. If they're not walking, they're driving semi trucks loaded with Narcotics or the precursors. Check out Sam Cooper, The Bureau, for lots of insight as to what's really happening in Canada. We need a miracle from God, maybe in the form of President Trump and ICE.
"The US sent men to the moon decades ago..." But did they really?
Two years ago I visited Space Center Houston. I got a close up look of the space suits and all the different panels, etc. used in the capsule. This was after a recent attempt to land on the moon. I left there thinking, there is no way this actually happened. The technology was rink-a-dink at best.
I cannot remember which astronaut it was, for some reason I am thinking Michael Collins, but a reporter with a cameraman were interviewing him and asked him if he landed on the moon. He emphatically said "yes" Then asked again if he would be willing to swear with his hand on the Bible. he got indignant , but said "yes" again. Said he didn't believe in God anyway. Then the reporter told him he was the only one who would do it. Six of his colleagues refused. He got mortally Po"d at that point , and started yelling for them to leave. Camermaan filmed all the way. As they were clearing the door, Collin's son asked his dad "should we call the CIA and have him waxed?"
WOW. I'm not surprised.
“Wag the Dog” one of my favorite movies.

I have a good friend and her daughter who lived for years at the Cape and husband worked on the Space program during this time. Her daughter and she both watched the moon shots. Husband no longer alive. But they both swear it was all real. I truly get the skepticism but want to say these are thoughtful and medical freedom (anti plandemic nonsense) people. They aren’t thoughtless idiots.
I understand and respect their perspective.
I don't know if the general public will EVER know for sure but I always 'trusted' the claim, until they had trouble landing something in the last 5 years. How can it be hard now, given all the improvements in technology? That's where my skepticism comes from.
For both of you, LJ and Jody. This man did amazing research. He has died but all of it is available on this website: https://centerforaninformedamerica.com/moondoggie/
One of the facts that hit me the most was they "LOST" all the original footage. Everything you see today is recorded from tv from the originals. There is also tons more solid proof as well but I just thought, how the hell do you lose that??????

Sorry for the repeat post; hadn’t seen the first! 😁
Mexico seems to do pretty well with one day, tallying and results. Within 24 hours or less.
Careful. The flat earthers on this blog will start chiming in. I’ll just leave this nugget. We left a special reflector on the moon that today scientists are still firing a laser at to measure the (increasing) distance that the moon is constantly traveling away from the earth.
That’s also explained in the link several of us posted.
No they didn’t. Another lie.
I figured someone would say that 🤣

Mrs. RW
Sorry cannot let your moon comment go freely … IF we sent man to the moon it is a reasonable expectation we could do it now 50+ years later. Among other points unmade.
The Saturn V’s were virtually hand made by skillful craftsman. When you look at the problems SLS has had integrating EXISTING technology into a usable rocket, you realize that continuity and commitment are the most valuable aspects in technology. There are 3 takeaways: 1) Musk, despite horrible personality flaws (could you have survived his upbringing?) is an organizational and technical genius, a combination you see 1-3 times in a century 2) Yes, we did it before, and no, we cannot do it now 3) China, with its keep-it-simple-stupid dual Long March 10A approach and huge lead in the lander development is going to beat us to the moon.
Totally agree.
Ain't no way they went to the Moon. I'd bet cash money on it.
I know that if they went, We The People would be able to see the McDonald's Arches shining brightly from the Moon.
Y'all know that it's true.
I think we went…but something told us don’t come back!
https://centerforaninformedamerica.com/moondoggie/
Pretty persuasive stuff here.
Right On 👍
I hate to tell you but they never sent a man to the moon. It was all a lie.

David was born today 3/25/60 , just a mire 20 days after me 😁
Weird Sences was a huge Red Pill Book for me when it first came out. I was pissed to find out that the musician's I grew up on, had a pretty sketchy generational background.
Come On Mannnn, Military Intelligence Industry 😡
I'm not buying the rare form of cancer with David McGowan. Just has his book was taking off. Too Deep State Clowns for me.
God loves the Truth Tellers and David McGowan was a good Truth Teller.
Rest in the Sweet Arms of Jesus, brother David.

Folks can slice and dice Trump's motives
They can split hairs on shifting goalposts
I agree with the questions swirling around this Administration ... but they are immaterial:
No one will ever UNDERSTAND Trump until they realize that he is spearheading Western civilization's last, best, only chance to remain the dominant culture on Earth.
That's his game
History will conclude that it's a worthy one
You get it, and it still surprises me how many people don’t.
Trump is running up the deficit at an alarming rate. He is on his way to starting yet another massive quagmire in the ME, with currently little objectives being met (they still have missiles, leadership/gov is still in place, we have lost our bases, Israel is being pummeled).....Trump is surrounded by tech bros and are busy laying in place a digital slave system....but yeah, he sure is trying to "save" us, or something. Looks to be the complete opposite to me, but I guess I just don't "get it."
Many assumptions here. Deficits have grown over many administrations, not just one, so criticizing spending isn't fair. Middle East politics have always been complicated, and while strategy can be debated, calling it a new quagmire is premature. The “digital slave system” idea seems more speculative than factual; discussions on tech influence are needed, but blaming a control scheme doesn’t advance understanding. You don’t need to support Trump or 'get it,' but distinguishing reality from online assumptions is helpful.
johnny o is a bot.
Been here for years billy. Try again.
Oh, guess I just never noticed you. Cheers.
Kim, respectfully, the situation in the gulf is not good. Our bases have been destroyed, much energy infrastructure is damaged/destroyed, and we will have at the very minimum, many months of disrupted oil and fertilizer/sulfur flow, all at the time we need to be planting. The blowback from this is going to be huge. Furthermore, we continue to wholly support the murderous regime in Israel, who is currently trying to annex more land, and has already displaced about 1 million (out of 5 million) Lebanese. This is not going away anytime soon, and judging by past actions, Trump is "all in" with Nuttyahoo.
The end goal with digital enslavement is quite clear, and the foundations are being laid into place. If you have compelling arguments otherwise, I'm all ears, but the roadmap is clearly there and visible for those willing to see it.
Spending - of course both parties are guilty, but we have an admin who came in acting like there were going to do all this magnificent things with our budget, only to increase the deficit at record rates, and then start a war in which we've already burned through a couple hundred billion of assets. How many trillions will it cost to rebuild 2 dozen destroyed bases? Well, actually, it may not cost anything because those countries may not be inviting us back - unless of course, we bribe their governments (which will cost more money) to letting us come back and rebuild.
People here are living in fantasy land. "let the man work" nonsense doesn't hold water when looking at simple realities that have and are occurring.
Johnny-O, I hear you on the instability and the risk of blowback, that part is real and worth watching closely.
But some of what you’re stating as fact just isn’t confirmed at that scale, especially around “all bases destroyed” and the scope of infrastructure losses.
Same with the “digital enslavement” piece. Concern about tech, data, and government overreach is fair. Calling it a clear, coordinated endgame is a leap without hard evidence tying it all together.
On spending, no argument that it’s ugly. But again, that’s been a long bipartisan trend, not something that suddenly started here.
I’m not saying “let the man work.” I’m saying let’s separate what we know from what we fear, otherwise we’re arguing past each other instead of actually getting clarity.
About Johnny Zero; He’s here casting seeds of doubt and division every single day. And, yes, for years now. Which does not mean he/she/it couldn’t be a bot.
Some think it’s Muslim as it was very distressed at the death of the Ayatollah. It’s certainly Leftist and has TDS.
Probably a paid troll because of the motivation to be here everyday even though it must despise Jeff Childers.
It appears to seldom actually read what Jeff writes; just jumps in with the Leftist talking points. Probably earns per comment so makes outrageous statements to keep,the thread going long as possible.
Sure, and I don't necessarily fear all the digital crap, because it can be seen as an opportunity for those of us who are aware of it and know what is coming. For the 90% of zombies in the US who are glued to screens and fantasy sports and whatnot, they will suffer.
The world is always changing and the AI/digital era is quickly coming. Of course I can't guarantee it, but all signs point to it - follow the money and follow the legislation.
Good points, Johnny-O.
From its muddled messaging, haphazard planning, and seemingly shifting goals, this war is a mess. Trump ran explicitly on keeping us out of ME wars. That so many here overlook that betrayal tells me that this is a cult, blindly trusting the leader's words, not actions.
and dont forget all the profiting going on from the war. Really "lucky" million and BILLION dollar hedge bets placed just minutes before Trump does some crazy Truth post. I think Trump has got himself in a mess that he does not know how to get out of. He was lied to by people around him because he has put himself in a Bibi/AIPAC bubble. Americans have been brainwashed so much about both Iran and Israel.
I agree on a number of points.
consider how much territory Iarael have ceded away since they became a nation, and I've got no issue with them trying to retain or regain what was lost.
So would you have no problem if Mexico decided to come and take the SW from us, then, by your logic?
Also Kim, the poster Jeffery Gs post is all assumptions - no one will understand Trump until the realize he is spearheading the last, best chance.....did Trump tell him this personally? Even if so, what actions actually point to this? The dollar is being destroyed, and the Iran conflict very well may hasten the downfall of the petrodollar. His family is grifting off of all this, as well, which makes one question intentions.
Johnny, that’s kind of my point with Jeffery’s post.
Saying Trump is the “last, best chance” is an assumption. But jumping straight to “the dollar is being destroyed,” “this is the end of the petrodollar,” and assigning motives to his family is also a stack of assumptions.
There are legitimate questions in there, deficits, foreign policy risk, conflicts of interest. All fair game. But none of that automatically adds up to a clear, singular narrative in either direction.
We’re all trying to interpret incomplete information in real time. I just think it’s better to stay grounded in what’s actually verifiable instead of locking into conclusions that go way beyond the evidence.
Thanks for your very well thought out comments, Kim. You reply rationally and logically. I appreciate it.
Kim, the dollar has been on a massive decline for many months now (or years). I didn't say this is the end of the petrodollar - I said "may very well hasten the downfall of the petrodollar" - which is a very legitimate comment and observation.
are we allowed to interpret as best we can? and then, let others do likewise?
meanwhile, it is true Americans are in sorry shape. we are decadent slobs. prey to our own various addictions.
the ad-hominem stuff I dunno... where does it get us?
The digital slave system is very real and the four walls of the box are almost complete. They have been building this right in front of our eyes. Give Catherine Austin Fitts a listen...
https://michaelyon.substack.com/p/amazing-talk-masako-and-catherine
Phil, I’m all for hearing different viewpoints, and I’ll take a look. Just laying out where I stand so folks get why I question assumptions and stick to what’s actually real.
That said, calling it a fully built “digital slave system” feels like a conclusion first, evidence second. There are real concerns around surveillance, centralization, and how tech and governments intersect, no question. But that doesn’t automatically mean there’s a single, coordinated endgame in place.
A lot of what we’re seeing is a mix of competing interests, policy experiments, and market incentives, not one sealed “box.”
Happy to dig into specific claims if there’s something concrete you think really proves that case.
Understand. Many here are dug into their positions like ticks on an Alabama boar hog. JohnnyO catches a lot of flack because he's done his homework and many of his conclusions rub people here the wrong way. Most believe something because that is what they want to be true. It's easy to emotionally self-identify with such positions. You on the other hand set a good example of reasoning.
Anyone notice how many seats were flipped blue in Florida’s special elections yesterday? As a side note I wasn’t even aware there were any special elections being held. Mar a Lago on now in a Democrat district. These wins have fired up the left for the midterms.
Let them be fired up.
They're a lot of legit reasons for those districts to sway blue.
One thought:
The districts that will COUNT in the midterms are the ones with false voter rolls and fraud.
There might be too many to count.
Drastic red shift might occur.
I'm counting on it
Palm Beach County is traditionally Democrat. Remember 2000.
Yep, it's looking catastrophic. Trump has destroyed the coalition to appease a foreign country.
You’re starting to sound like a crying baby. All I can hear when I read your spew. Go on blueski, they’ll love you long time there.
How's the quick easy war working out Alan? So well we are raising the recruitment age to 42 and ditching marijuana restrictions. So much winning. How many more hundreds of billions must be spent for Israel Alan? So very MAGA of you.
You don't get it Johnny - QATARO, being MAGA means doing absolutely everything Israel wants and nothing the American taxpayer wants.
that's no way to treat a crying baby, Alan.
Let the man do his job.
You can't make omelettes without catastrophic destruction to the eggs.
Until you ... Until I ... Until all the other armchair pundits DO and ACHIEVE what Trump has done ... I'm not interested.
And I include myself:
I have no friggin idea of where this goes ...
"quagmire"
"digital slavery" ... etc., etc., etc.
words, words and more words
What has Trump done? Let's see, allowed dozens of bases to be destroyed, numerous oil refineries, LNG, and sulfur plants to be damaged, spent at least a couple hundred billion and counting, killed all somewhat moderate politicians in Iran whom we wanted to negotiate with, and left with people in charge who do want a nuclear weapon (the ayatollah issued not one, but two fatwahs against nukes).....allowed Israel to suck us into what is becoming a quagmire with millions displaced in the region.....Troops likely to be on the ground soon, our navy has been pushed out of the region.....
What the hell are you guys all smoking to believe this is some grand plan that is benefiting us?
Let's say with the files, it was acceptable to believe Trump was playing some kind of rope a dope to get the world to really want to see the files... for the first six months or so... now that his admin has called it a hoax a dozen times, and has straight out said they aren't going to investigate anyone or arrest anyone or do anything at all... after Bondi goes before congress and makes a complete fool out of herself and keeps her job... as you said, what are these people smoking? This is just pure weapons grade copium at this point. Time to wake up and smell the COFFEE.
Johnny Zero is a major troll on this site. It has been here for years; daily sowing seeds of doubt and division. Doesn’t appear to actually read Jeff’s posts. Would certainly never agree with them. So I figure there has to be a monetary motivation for all this work it does daily. This is probably not its only handle or site.
Whole lotta Black-pillin" goin' on....

Hey, point taken, your analysis is superior to the rest of us dimwits (my word, not yours, admittedly)
But if I may play 5-D chess with you for a moment, what is your intention by asking what we've been smoking?
I'd sincerely like to know
That said, your comments ARE accurate ... your points are legit. The difference is that I approach the available information from a different life-view than you ... (and from everybody else as well)
Please, Jeffrey using 5D chess or regular speak, explain how Trump, continuing to explode the debt, erode the dollar, possibly starting a ME quagmire, surrounding himself with tech bro goons of the worst kind, is all to save the west? China and Russia have announced restrictions on chem fertilizer exports now as well, further exacerbating spring planting problems. Just one of many pieces of blowback coming our way.
Yes verbal manipulation to use connotation to change the mood to dark places and doubt.
Trump is making a very big gamble that he has stated many times but you are not listening … he is investing in SETTING FREE THE US ECONOMY… if he is right, our deficits will turn to surplus. Granted it is an investment which costs money and nothing is for certain but … if I had to place my own bets, I would not bet against Mr Trump.
ME business is by no means a “massive quagmire” if it cripples our enemies all the globe over AND leaves us with the biggest lever of all, ENERGY PRODUCTION. You seem dim, Johnny. Are you really reading and following this blog without having any vision of the possibilities? You are truly wasting your time here. I know you’ve been around for years but perhaps it is time to go.
Follow history Belle. Trump's first term = record deficits. Trump's second term so far = record deficits. When was the last time the US engaged in military action in the ME and it turned out well? Hope and fantasy are one thing, history and reality are another.
SIGH, let me explain. Iran was about to build a nuke for the last 500 years, they were literally weeks away for 500 years. That's why we had to bomb those children. And this will be way different than the GWOT because this time there is no support for the war whatsoever, and uhhhh uhhhhhhh just shut up and die for israel you stupid bot
Ha, yep, about right!
Dont forget about those strange bettings of oil futures found happening minutes before Trump tweets about Iran causing some billions to be won. Definitely some insider trading going on with this war.
To johnny o:
"You get it, and it still surprises me how many people don't."
and let's not forget the GOP is set to get absolutely demolished in the midterms. Counties Trump won by double digits in 2024 are being flipped in double digits for the dems... IN FLORIDA!
Congress does the budgets. Why have they not codified DOGE cuts? Thats been a big disappointment.
Artic Frost has sure put a deep freeze on Republicans doing anything about it.
Saving the west!
True
Few of us understand 'cause and effect'
Few understand that geopolitics is first and foremost PSYCHOLOGICAL
Great comment Jeffrey. Psychology drives decisions, markets, and so forth. That said, a lot of Trump's strategy in many or most areas seems to be that of unpredictability, which generally is not conducive to trust and good market outcomes. Trust in the US has continued to be degraded under Trump, not strengthened.
Thank you for your comment as well, Johnny.
Where you and I part ways is in speculating how well, or not, things are going.
That said, the question is not that my analysis is smarter than anyone else's ... it's all still analysis
I surmise that Trump's gift of intuition is the game changer here. And it can be argued that in the crucible of the White House, his intuition is turbo charged.
This is what fascinates me.
Jeffrey, I strongly disagree re intuition. There have been hints at it during campaigning, but it appears as though that was political maneuvering to be elected. Starting a quagmire in the ME will be the end of his legacy, and the end of US hegemony. Nothing good has come out of neocon wars in the middle east. Ever.
Unpredictability is a tremendous advantage when making deals. It’s one of the reasons Trump is so good at it. He's thrown out the establishment Diplomatic Relations Rulebook and is making deals that are in the long-term interest of the country and Western civilization as a whole.
Bingo.
he not only wants to create the Golden Age for America but the World - and is succeeding
And I pray for this exact thing, a golden age, every night at 9pm local time (the Big Ben minute). May the Good Lord strengthen our hand and allow our leaders to lead us back to prosperity and humbleness before Him!
You are one of many praying at 9pm for our country, BelleTower. I hope this spreads!
Amen
Exactly. His haters have a hard time seeing it because they assume he’s evil, one way or another. I see a patriotic American with a yuuuuuge ego who doesn’t want to be Hitler 2.0, he wants to be George Washington 2.0. It’s seems undeniably obvious to me: he doesn’t want to be hated, to be seen as a failure and loser. He wants the wins, the cheers, accolades, vindication, and a glorious golden legacy.
Doomers and blackpillers are too impatient to see the big plan being set up. Bondi must be preparing plenty of bombshells that will help win the midterms. Nothing else makes sense.
"...No one will ever UNDERSTAND Trump until they realize that he is spearheading Western civilization's last, best, only chance to remain the dominant culture on Earth."
Since the definition of words is the topic today... Depends upon what is meant by "dominant culture". War is one means to domination. But what does it mean when the culture that is doing the "dominating" becomes something else entirely as compared to what the culture represented just a few decades ago? What is Western Civilization today as compared to what we represented in the year 1900 or even 1950? Or is the actual domination of the rest of the planet the only raison d'etre? Power for power's sake?
Two thousand years ago, the resurrected Messiah gave us God's authorization, indeed His command, to dominate the world... and the method for doing so:
Matthew 28: 18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations..."
After giving His commission, the Messiah ascended to the throne of God where He was glorified as "King of kings and Lord of lords" to rule and reign over history till the end of time.
This commission powered Western Civilization for 2,000 years. But if the salt of Western Civilization loses it's flavor, then the Lord tells us that it is good for nothing except to be trodden under foot. However...
2 Chronicles: 14 if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
As an aside, it is my belief that Charlie Kirk was responding to this Word and that is the reason he was murdered. May his example give us some courage. America needs a new generation of pastors and shepherds to rise up and boldly proclaim to America's congregations the truth of the glorified King's commission to disciple the NATIONS much as was done by the Black Robe regiments of 1776 when Americans threw off tyranny and affirmed that "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights..."
Excellent comment, Phil. I don’t always agree with you, but on this I do, 100%. May the gospel spread and the Lord grant another “Great Awakening”!
I feel compelled to add something that I always take for granted. I was educated in the 50s and 60s when the basic tenets of Western Civilization were still taught to young people. Today, young people are not only ignorant of these tenets but they are taught that Western Civilization is evil. And little is taught in the churches anymore that contradicts that. Now churches are obsessed with escapist end-of-the-world eschatologies and a disavowal of any meaningful application of God's Law to culture and society. Satan is viewed as the "ruler of this world" contrary to the clear Biblical declaration that Christ is King and judges history from His throne at the right hand of the Father; that Satan is only a squatter to be evicted by Christ's Body on earth, the church militant empowered by the Holy Spirit against which no evil spirit can prevail.
Today, "rights" are defined as "civil" rights granted by Government which can easily be taken away. Gone is the understanding that unalienable Rights are endowed by our Creator and comprise a Higher Law to which Government is subservient and must be held accountable to. The truths that our forefathers held as "self-evident" no longer inform the functions of Government and citizens are reduced to serfs who must ask permission to even exist.
This is the current condition of Western Civilization. As a result, we now find ourselves increasingly "trodden under foot" by the invasion of an alien and hostile Islamic culture who are at war with us and the values we historically represented. This is a clear fulfillment of Christ's warnings should the salt of our culture lose it's flavor....
Matthew 5: 13-20 “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.
14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
17 “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. 19 Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.
Amen to that.
^^^^ Clarity ^^^^
Agree, except it is really mankind's last chance, not just western civilization.
I submit that it's TECHNOCRACY's last stand ... at least in a people-respecting form.
Many people are allergic to concept of defending themselves and their people and culture. It's been inculcated from an early age by the leftists and nihilists (to ignore spiritual motivations) who are recently close enough to their goals to de-cloak.
Abetted by people who think they will make a buck off it (corporate PE and tech, and politicians) and somehow escape unscathed. OTOH maybe they truly don't mind living on an armed estate in a functionally 3rd-world country.
The US government is nearing it's last days. I look at it as a dying man. What we are fighting for is the assets of the dying man. Do they go to his kids, or do they go to strangers?
The assets are the culture, the religious foundation and the demographics of the country.
Iiinteresting
Yep. Taking down the deep state all around the world
I get it! He is remarkable! He is changing history dramatically! God keep him safe🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
YEEESSSSS
Indeed. The Transnational gangsters despise him for that reason.
Yup. That is happening under their noses.
Thinking about dominant culture might be unchristian
What about our debt? He’s not doing anything about it other than increasing it.
Trump's goal is a MAGA congress that can make bigger cuts. The next step will be crushing Democrats in November. The entitlement fraud investigations will be body blows. Big names and many smaller ones will face federal charges. The theft of billions by foreigners and politicians will destroy the Democrat brand as the “party of compassion."
He’s also rearranging the international order so we can spend less on NATO and the Middle East. E.g. with the Iran regime gone, Israel will no longer need any US aid.
Doesn't worry me in the least …
Why? That seems a bit insane, no offense.
None of what Trump does makes any sense UNLESS you believe, as I do, that the house (our nation) was on fire.

For over 200 years we had one day and one day only on which to vote, with mail-in ballots for the military overseas and the infirm. If you cannot be bothered to take the time to vote on the one day allowed, oh well, I really don't care. Think of having only one day that you can purchase liquor. Those same people complaining about one-day elections and presenting ID, will most assuredly make it to the liquor store that day, WITH ID in hand, with no problem. Think of Election DAY in the same way.
Can’t even buy certain cold meds without one.
I occasionally buy allergy meds for my spouse that I am allergic to and would kill me. The allergy is on file. Guess what - they ask for my ID at the pharmacy but don’t say a thing about the fact that the meds I’m buying will kill me if I take them.
Somehow it’s too much to ask to show an ID for voting? 🤦♀️ Make it make sense.
To your pharmacist, you are just another number...
Plus we have a tax filing deadline day (April 15) that most Americans seem to be able to deal with.
Amazing how that’s possible to accomplish.
I am in favor of making Election Day a national holiday.
During covid when my governor ordered the liquor stores closed to begin 3 days later, a line of people formed who plainly understood that the stores were closing in 3 days, not 4 days, or until the liquor was sold out. Give people the incentive and you can figure out the result.
What about people with jobs that travel? Truck drivers, pilots, flight attendants, cruise ship personnel, commercial fishing, commercial shipping, etc? It's a conundrum.
Amazing isn't it that we must present ID to open a bank account, invest, buy alcohol, fly, if we are stopped for a traffic violation, buy cold medicine (!), medical care, sign up for Social Security, etc. But to vote, the most sacred duty of citizenship, it is a free-for-all in the Wild Wild West.
After the ACIP withers on the vine, then the CDC can be next to dissolve.
Praying that happens, the cdc is nothing but propaganda for pharmaceutical industry 😱
I'm rooting for WHO to bite the dust. They're evil.
Here’s what’s ironic. Twenty plus years ago, when involved in clinical research and submitting approval packages to the FDA, we saw how the FDA looked down on anything from the WHO regarding drug development. The FDA rejected the WHOs “expert report” methodology as “less rigorous” and not meeting the US gold standard of placebo controlled trials standing on their own. Our clients, that tried to use WHO data and or European trials, were almost always told they had to run trials in America on American consumers.
How time changed. The WHO morphed into a global, power hungry leviathan, and the FDA became the WHOs bitch. Only took one generation.
I recall now, there was an evolution of these very sensible regulatory agencies when they discovered the charm of international travel and frequent flyer miles… You can even smell this on Dr. Fauci and how excited he was to work with other countries…
Truly sad. Thank you for the historical perspective.
Yes, I also remember that! To our regulatory agencies, anything international was pretty much a joke.
Dissolving the CDC is a nice thought, but would take congress to get done, since the origin of the agency was codified into law in the mid 1940s, and expanded over the years. I doubt there would be even moderate support among conservatives. The law has been “updated” over time to give the agency FEMA like powers. Fortunately, some brave litigators like Jeff Childers, have won cases to establish guardrails on the CDC’s perceived powers. That said, among the public health zealots, there is support for very broad Orwellian measures such as contact tracing IDs and legally enforceable quarantine powers.
RFKjr has always had a nearly impossible job, because to get real change in public health, FDA, CDC, NIH, etc., he has to change minds and open the door for civil litigation. The only way that works is through hard data, clearly showing statistically significant findings. I learned this from 10 years in clinical research. Until you show these folks double blind placebo controlled studies, few minds will change.
This is why RFKjr has commissioned something like 100 studies on various topics. Moderate thinkers will eventually be swayed by data. And, if enough studies are available, will open the door via litigation thresholds courts use to prevent lawsuits. This is the plan RFKjr came up with to bypass congressional action.
The ACIP is another matter. An offshoot of the type of advisory committee the FDA uses for scientific discussions related to drug development, however, they have no authority. They do make for great PR, and I suspect the ACIP morphed into a cheerleader for vaccines. Any meaningful dissent was always ignored. Perhaps letting the ACIP die in the vine is good.
"My take is that the Administration is rethinking the ACIP’s role altogether. The committee is as useless a group of grifters and hangers-on as ever met in a swanky hotel conference room. It doesn’t do anything. It only makes recommendations. It was just a beard, a facade that rubber-stamped whatever the CDC wanted to do, and in the ultra-rare cases when it does oppose the CDC —such as when Biden’s CDC approved the jabs for kids— the CDC just ignores it and does what it wants anyway."
"I say: abolish the ACIP. Since it’s probably mandated by federal statute, and can’t just be waved away, the Administration can stymie it by not appointing any better-credentialed members, and let the judge’s order do the rest."
Unbelievable you said this! Who's paying you?
The ACIP was useless, but it was about to become a vehicle for education of the US public.
THAT is why the judge jumped in to stop it.
I say let the man work, and by man, I mean Bobby Kennedy.
Mrs. RW
Completely agree, Mrs. RW. Because the group had no teeth, so to speak, maybe there’s a plan to create something new? I did like and find tremendous value in public facing information given at their meetings. It was important information that I have used when attempting to educate those who refuse to read books such as Aaron Siri’s Vaccines, Amen.
Trump, Kennedy, et al will find another way.
In that regard, I agree. I never watched an ACIP meeting until they wanted to jab the kids with the clot shot, but since the CDC just does what they want is there still a point to it?
Maybe a public facing panel to inform what the trials have shown.
How about the Immunization Trials Informational Panel (ITIP)?
An article about what Judge Murphy helped stop....

Mrs. RW
It’s a useless operation. Maybe there IS something better. Nothing operates on our own timeframe and I’m interested in what happens. My only grandchild was injured substantially by a vaccine but I’m certain change will come. Meanwhile, more people and parents are waking up and taking control of circumstances themselves. We are basically trying to overcome an established religion with rites and a kind of twisted liturgy. Takes time.
Jayne are you actually attached to the ACIP at all? I see Jeff’s point that it does the bidding of its master and no more. At best it is a vestigial appendage from the days when people like me could be a little comforted when terrible decisions came out of “committees” rather than blanket decree. We aren’t living in that time anymore, we have thankfully stripped away the lie that science was the deciding factor in CDC recommendations. Covid did that. Let’s see what RFKJR does now eh? I personally have no use for the ACIP if he has no use for it.
With their massive confusion over that difficult word 'in', the Dems are channeling their inner Bill Clinton: "It depends on what the meaning of 'is', is."
Yes! You connected the dots I missed! Obfuscation and lying have tells for those that have eyes & ears…don’t they!
Oh thank you for remembering this! That snake used those exact words, imagine it WORKING 😱
Only snakes in the grass would concern themselves with the molecular structure of "is," "in," and "day."
It's those two-letter words that start with "i."
The “day” and “in” discussions remind me of the classic tweet: “It's amazing how much leftist discourse is just them pretending not to understand things, thus making discourse impossible.”
Like the words man and women!
Exactly! Is it any wonder the liberals are quibbling over the definitions of “day” and “in”? Good grief, they can’t even define what a “woman” is!
Indeed!
All i get at the coffee table is deer in the headlights looks and discussion topic veers into the air.
Arctic Frost is 100x worse than Watergate.
Well then what Obama, Clinton, Brennan et al did was 1,000X worse than Watergate and could reasonably be considered to be treason
William… it is…. Opps, there’s that questionable “is” again… moving on… so on Malone quitting ACIP… wondering if “this” influenced his departure?
💥 The cancellation of the CDC’s ACIP meeting halted what would have been the first-ever federal review of COVID vaccine injuries at the CDC.💥
Judge Brian Murphy blocked ACIP and all corresponding meetings because the proceedings and recommendations were deemed to be causing harm.
For the COVID vaccine injured, the harm didn’t come from ACIP’s proceedings, it came from stopping them.
Cody Hudson’s family has been actively seeking avenues for his case to be reviewed, while he continues to suffer severe, life-threatening complications, including multiple strokes.
At the time of this cancellation, his mother was fighting to get him care from inside the hospital after his fifth stroke.
With the meeting cancelled, this mother's desperate plea for help is blocked from entering the halls of the CDC.
How long are patients expected to wait for help? What happens when the judicial system drags this out until it's too late for young men like Cody?
well recently Trump made a comment to the effect that all vaccines are poison - finally - so perhaps there is something in the works - we can only hope so
Maureen - a very good question. What the hell is going on! And I’m confused by Jeff’s comments on ACIP. Are you as well??
Malone is a narcissist and, in my opinion, untrustworthy….and that is the best case scenario relative to his role in the Covid shenanigans.
And I have resigned myself to the fact that OWS will never be revealed for what it was and is….nor will the current administration or the one that follows it take steps to ensure that another OWS does not occur. Heck the key components for another round still exist….nor one is coming to save us or to serve truth.
I do agree with JC relative to the voting issue. I have always felt it should be one day. The problem with early voting….what happens if something occurs (accident, disability, death, revealing of information or uncomfortable facts) between when a person does his/her early voting and the actual Election Day? They don’t get to change their vote?!
But like with the COVID debacle….there will be no real reform because both parties look to leverage power not truth, fairness and justice. That’s politics….and more and more….politics don’t serve the public as much as it serve the masters who own us. Technocracy incoming.
Caveat Emptor.
Something about Malone has never seemed right to me.
not sure why you hit 'reply' rather than make this a standalone comment.
I didn’t see it on Jeff’s post, but he’s doing a live event at 2:00 PM called “Disinformation Dozen with Jeff Childers.” If you search YouTube it will come up.
He represents the DD! Thank you for letting us know. There is a Give Send Go to make donations to in order to help the DD defense by Jeff.
Aha... great Dr. Ben Tapper's channel - thanks for posting!

I figure Eastern. That’s the time zone I’m in and I’d think YT would list whatever time zone the user is in. Did you hit the link and see something else if you’re not in EST?
I’m Central time, and it says 2 pm, so should be starting any moment now.
I’m not Eastern. And I’ve not yet clicked on the link to watch it until I have the time to invest in watching a video, which I will do later. Thanks for your comment.
"The complicated legal question in this case is: in 1845, when Congress set the “Tuesday after the first Monday in November” as “Election Day,” did it mean ballots must be received by that day? Or just cast by that day?"
It seems abundantly clear to me that they didn't even mean "by" that day. They meant ON that day. Election DAY, not Election Season.
The entirety of "early" voting should be banned as unconstitutional as well.
It's Election DAY. You vote ON, and ONLY on, THAT day. And YOU do so, with YOUR ballot. It's not up to the USPS to deliver your ballot on YOUR behalf whenever they get around to it.
You vote, you submit your ballot, and you do both ONLY on Election Day.
JFC.
What about Armed forces and Americans living abroad, and Americans living in remote areas (e.g. rural Alaska) or otherwise unable to get to a polling station? I would allow exceptions for need, but ballots must be received by Election Day.
Same as was done *before* we had broad, widespread mail-in voting. Absentee ballots for overseas military and other provable, documentable cases where in-person is literally impossible, not merely an alleged inconvenience.
(Also, IINM, absentee ballots were never even counted in certain elections, unless their number exceeded the margin of victory in the races.)
Make Election Day a federal holiday, too, which would make it easier for most working people to vote in person.
Yes, trade that racist Juneteenth holiday for Election Day holiday.
Agree on both counts. Or have elections on Sunday like so many other countries do.
Indeed. As we do in Puerto Rico. Sundays. (Plus photo ID. Plus finger dipped in ink. Which we do in PR.)
In most countries elections are on the weekend. Many historians say that the reason for Tuesday elections was to make it difficult for workers to vote. And remember you have to vote where you live, not near where you work.
Two problems with that reasoning.
First, when the first Tuesday after the first Monday was established in 1845, almost EVERYONE worked near where they lived.
Second, U.S. elections are held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November due to 19th-century agricultural, religious, and economic considerations. Congress chose the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November because it was the most convenient day for 19th-century farmers. They traveled on horseback or with wagons, so a Tuesday gave them travel time without interfering with Sunday church services or Wednesday market days.
If it was easier for farmers, it certainly was no more difficult for "workers", most of whom, in 1845, were farmers, anyway.
That makes sense for the time the majority of voters were farmers, largely in the 19th century. But by the time of the Progressive Era, our cities (particularly in the North) were filled with factory workers, people the Progressive experts and elites did not trust. In addition many were fairly new to the country, many who were Catholic and therefore, suspect. With the advent of the Recall and the Initiative, Progressives looked for ways to make voting as inconvenient as possible for working class voters. There are a number of Progressive Era histories that have criticized Progressives for their elitism.
Yes, but my response was to the "most historians say that the reason for Tuesday elections was to make it difficult for workers to vote" which was not the case. If that's what they think, then most historians have that wrong.
Regarding the factory workers, they surely lived close to their workplaces. We weren't a commuting society back then. And certainly closer to their voting precincts than farmers who had to travel by wagon for a day to vote. So they got that wrong, too.
Voting on Election Day Tuesday, and ONLY on that day, has not been a problem for most of Americans for most of the century-plus that we've been doing it that way. Regardless of whether it's made a holiday, having polls open for 12 or 14 hours should be sufficient, IF the pollsters don't deliberately make things difficult, as they do seemingly ONLY in Democrat-run precincts.
A federal holiday wouldn’t help for many people since lots of employers only observe a select few of them. There would have to be some kind of incentive or encouragement to give the day off to pretty much everyone except critically important jobs like first responders.
Those ballots must be requested with a signature card on file ie. already registered to vote. They are called"absentee ballots"
The problem is "mail in' ballots, which are mass mailed to people that did not request them and often to places that are not even habitable: gas stations, Walmarts etc. They are dumped on floors in apartment buildings for anyone to take and fill out. This began with Covid. (The very same people afraid to vote in person were able to do a myriad of things in masks like shop, go out to eat and buy liquor and marijuana with an ID they can't seem to muster for voting purposes)
Very rarely do you see this distinction made.
STILL, the onus should be on the requestor to get their ballot in on time. If it's important enough to you, you'll make the time and hit the deadlines.
Also, Congress passed the Real ID law before Covid. They had no problem insisting you provide a birth certificate to obtain one of you want to fly domestically and enter government buildings. No mention of the requirement of the Real ID anymore and in fact they created a TSA work around where you just pay $45 at the airport. No more enforcement of the actual law. We began the process of obtaining birth certificates, divorce decrees and marriage licenses well before the deadline only to have the DMV shut down during covid. Since applying for a passport requires all the same documentation and allows international travel AND serves as ID to vote, we opted for regular drivers licenses and passports.
People like Joe and Mika pretending like they don't have passports is laughable.
People like Hakeem Jeffries saying ICE is going to kill people and shoot up airports is slanderous and fear mongering. He should be at the very least censured.
BTW,I would bet ICE agents are far better trained than TSA agents any day of the week
Mail in voting did not start with Covid. Many states were already doing this (especially on the West coast. They took a few years to ‘prove’ there was no difference in outcome. Yeah, right.) Covid is when many other states adopted this awful practice with no idea what they were doing. All of it to rig elections.
Yep, WA almost elected a Republican for governor until some ballots were conveniently found in someone's trunk. Voting results have been pretty much one-sided ever since.
Oddly enough (or at least I think so), Pennsylvania adopted mail in voting on Oct. 19, 2019 just months before covid. It's almost as though the Democrats knew what was coming and were told to take advantage of it in order to stop Trump. Our local paper printed exactly one paragraph when the governor signed the bill. I saw it and thought nothing of it until Trump lost in the 2020 election.
Sue, I’ve been mentioning the REAL ID on social media! Why is no one (reporters, congresspeople, influencers, podcasters) silent about this? It makes me want to tear my hair out!
At the time of my renewal, all I had to take was my BC. I couldn’t find it so I ordered a new one. Easy!
I’m also divorced, but no other docs were required. Granted, I’m still in the same area in the same state I was born, married and divorced in.
Did you see Alex Muse's Substack from a day or so ago in which he argued that TSA properly belongs in Dante's 8th circle of hell and should be abolished. I remember years ago people complained a LOT about TSA agents liking it a little too much in doing their security checks when it came to touching people's bodies.
No, but given the world we live in, I'll put up with airport screening until we have better options.
I won’t fly anymore, but then I never liked it.
No..no exceptions..
There have always been exceptions and those aren’t the problem. The blanket mail out ballots are where the fraud happens.
So how do you propose to allow voting for citizens like those I mentioned?
All we need to do is return to the old rules for who can vote by mail. We did it one time when we knew we'd be out of the country in a presidential election year.
Yeah, me too. I voted but was in the jungle in South America for the Carter Ford Presidential election in 1976. Worked fine.
In addition to military out of country, infirm? Hospitalized? Jailed but eligible to vote? There are several categories that need exception. How do you propose to handle these?
Same as was done *before* we had broad, widespread mail-in voting. Absentee ballots for overseas military and other provable, documentable cases where in-person is literally impossible, not merely an alleged inconvenience.
(Also, IINM, absentee ballots were never even counted in certain elections, unless their number exceeded the margin of victory in the races.)
Make Election Day a federal holiday, too, which would make it easier for most working people to vote in person.
So you do not favor a solid "ONLY on" scenario. With the absentee exceptions you point out I can agree with you. Even those in the past, and present, need additional scrutiny, however. I've voted in both state and federal elections from many places, some overseas, because of my military career. NEVER missed a vote. Federal was pretty easy due to military support getting ballots. State were a different matter, and in my opinion understandably so. Pretty much on my own to deal with getting a state ballot.
I'm aware of the don't count 'em unless we need to practice and from a purely mathematical and efficiency standpoint I agree with the practice. However, there is that little hair on the back of my neck that says hey, I went to the trouble, my vote is my Constitutional right, and you should count it. I'm on the fence with that one and wonder about the legality of it.
I do not favor absolutes.
Generally.
Those people were always covered by mailed in ballots.
Make Election Day a holiday, certified US citizen voters use paper ballots, watermarked, ink stained, hand counted. Totals known by 10-11 pm. Fireworks for celebration through out the country. Just like the 4th of July.
Bar code and Q code the ballots, then they are trackable and assigned to each citizen. This is how the lottery knows how many winners there were as well as what locations sold tickets.
Why make it a holiday? Many folks working inconvenient schedules don't get holidays off. But I do endorse paper ballots, and always choose to use one.
Most states have laws allowing time off to vote. Some of the repercussions if the employer doesn’t follow the laws are pretty large.
I’d also think that if it were a federal holiday those remaining states would finally get their act together as well. Having it on a weekend would be great.
Yeah, afaik all other countries vote on Sunday. I wonder why the US is different?
The case in Louisana about the minority districts is the realgame changer. If ruled that a minority district violates the Civil Rights statute, then gerrymandering is done. SCOTUS should rule that gerrymandering is unconstitutional as well.
Remember when Jeff talked about how important “Missouri v Biden case is… opps another case of what “is” is… well news “is” …. ⬇️
BREAKING WIN: Government Agencies BANNED From Pressuring Big Tech to Censor Americans for 10 Years
A Consent Decree in Missouri v. Biden now bars the CDC, CISA, and the U.S. Surgeon General from coercing social media platforms to suppress protected speech for the next decade.
NICOLAS HULSCHER, MPH
MAR 25
READ IN APP
by Nicolas Hulscher, MPH
In a historic win for free speech, the U.S. Surgeon General, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) have been legally restricted from pressuring social media companies to silence Americans for the next decade. This comes from a formal Consent Decree in Missouri v. Biden, one of the most consequential First Amendment cases in modern history.
Why only a decade?
Why just 10 years? What happens in 11 years??? What am I missing?
Only for the 3 agencies and only for 10 years. Is there a remedy if the agencies do not comply?
Good question Vince
Maureen - I am wondering if the shadow banning will stop. My reach on Substack is seriously throttled.
Interesting. Substack is not as open & genuine as I had thought. I am referring to the company, not the authors.
Yeah Linda. It’s such a disappointment.
And X is the worst.
I stay away from “X”. I will rarely look at something that EGM posts. : )
Sasha Latypova wrote about this recently. Apparently people have been shadow banned when trying to be restacked onto larger stack audiences when discussing controversial topics. Its unfortunate, but I'm not surprised.
I fully expected Jeff to cover this big win today?!! Very surprised he didn’t.
He only has so much time and the subjects he chooses to write about are at his discretion. Maybe he didn’t feel like he had enough time to do the subject justice or preferred to wait to write about it or let others discuss it instead 🤷♀️ I get that people are eager to get Jeff’s take on important events and issues but we also have to realize he only has so much time and it is his Substack and he gets to choose what he wants to write about.
We were busy considering the quadruple amputee cornhole player murder 🙂
Right 😝
I'd like the end of gerrymandering. We have a vote in VA in April to allow the (democratic) legislature to re-gerrymander the voting districts just for the mid-tems and then return to the original districts. They are ironically selling it as a proposal for "Fair elections". Just draw a clean grid on a map and each district is where the square lands. No torturous twists in the district lines to favor one party or another.
Learned two new words today :) Elucidating - means explaining something or making things more clear. Schadenfreude - pleasure/joy from hearing about the troubles of others.
@Barbara- Schadenfreude is one of my FAV words!!!
It’s one of my favorite words and my favorite feelings too 😆😂
@Running- YES!!!!!!!!!!
but it's hard to say...
@Cat- SOOOOO worth the trouble!!! German is a funny language; they weren't happy with one word to describe something. One word in German is a combination of many words to describe one thing (A German friend explained that to me).
Arctic Frost is clearly illegal, a full on weaponization of the judicial system and treason. They have names of judges and prosecutors. And proof. Obama and Biden were clearly driving or supporting it. WHERE ARE THE ARRESTS, SUCCESSFUL PROSECUTIONS, PERP WALKS AND JAIL TIME? Do we need to employ a military justice structure?
The corn hole guy with no arms or legs should be named, "Matt."
If he went swimming, he'd be Bob
Haha. He has a sister. She has only one leg. Her name is Eileen. She works in a brewery. She's in charge of the hops.
She might work at Ihop
Another! Haha.
@Jeff S- groan. Good one.
🤣😂
@AM- LOL!!!!!
Hahaha.
If he was in a piles of leaves, he’d be “Russel” 😂
I knew there were others! Thanks. Haha.
My husband loves these jokes - prob because he’s a ‘Russell’ 😆
Haha. My name's too goofy for humor. Although, my father used to say to me: "Hey, Sunny Boy, why'd you go to college? To get stoopid?"
Hang him on a wall. Name is Art.
Funny stuff.
👏👏👏
🤣🤣🤣
ooooooohhhhhh...groan ...
Help me out on this one…it’s early for me and hits close to home… 😅..Matt Dillon (Gunsmoke?).
His shape resembles a mat (door mat).
These are hilarious but also what probably
prompted the murder.
That guy is talented.
That was my second guess but am now happy you own it! Haha… I can’t get Monty Python out of my head on this though. This must have artificial limbs I’m thinking… it is sick/sad though and I’m likely going to hell for making fun of it!
Monty python 's the Black Knight!
It's just a flesh wound!!!!
I was struggling to “get it”. LOL
