The gall of Lightfoot saying it’s Walmart’s job to make sure Chicago residents have access to necessities it’s equally laughable and breathtaking. What kind of reality do people like this live in? Geez.
She's repeating the party line which is "It is always someone else's fault for the problems caused by my inability to think rationally and live in reality. " They really do believe this. I recommend another shot or shots for these people. 😉
Yess indeedy-deedy---safe for Chicagoans and effective for Lightfoot and successor--but the two bozos need AT LEAST two more shots to do the trick. The more, the sooner, no?
It’s going to be ‘these poor people in these neighborhoods have nowhere to buy decent food’. Ms Lightfoot, it was YOUR JOB to provide an environment where Walmarts employees would be safe and where the stores could actually turn a profit.
I think there is another aspect to this: a move towards relying less on cheap international sweat shop goods, especially from China. If Walmart, and our disposable way of living, are taken from us, we'll be just in time to try to remember how to make things ourselves. I still have so many things from my grandparents which today would have broken long ago.
I have bought something on EBay two times in my life, 20 years apart, and both times it was a disaster, and I'm not just talking about not being satisfied with the product. I'm always hearing about how people like it, but I will never ever buy anything there again.
She knows exactly what her job was and she did it . She wasn’t installed to make Chicago safe or prosperous. Gaslighting you with the very opposite of reality is so in the playbook.
And Jeff the eyes 👁️👁️👁️👀definitely tell the tale.
Also, if Walmarts can't keep open, can any of the small businesses do so? I keep watching and asking....how far down the tubes does it have to go before people wake up?
100% -I can't write that big enough. 100%! Ruined it for so so many Mom and Pops across the country. They were bastards to deal with on the other side also; basically demanding wholesalers and suppliers to kowtow to their ever changing demands. Back in the 80's and early 90's, every big vendor bent over backwards to attempt to meet their crazy schedules and response times. I was a Field Engineer with a major retail computer corp and I can tell you from personal experience, at times, it was like trying to keep up with 4 year old full of Snickers and Coca Cola. I got stories....
Not everybody has to cave. In 1995, my business was young. I produce Hawaiian clothing patterns. (victoriajonescollection.com) I was just getting started, and that year one of my retailers who sold 50% of my patterns, went out of business. Walmart moved into Kona, contacted me, and told me that they would guarantee buying an astronomical amount of patterns ( I can't remember the number, but it seemed like a million) if I would sign an exclusive deal with them. I confess I wavered. But I did not cave even though I really needed the money. I realized that if I signed with Walmart, the other half of my business, the mom and pops, would not have my (albeit meager) business. I told Walmart "No thanks". And guess what? In a couple of years, Walmart CLOSED their fabric/pattern department. AND, the mom-and-pops, many of them, and I are still doing business. Many of those originals are now in the hands of their children, but so far, so good. We have simply kept on. And we didn't raise rates astronomically, like everyone does. I just want to say that I have lived it, and it does not need to be like what is portrayed. Every business owner makes their own decision. And in the end, the manager of the aforementioned big store which closed, ended up buying several stores on several islands. And we are still doing business! Haha! We were young then, just 30, and now we are old. Over 70. But it can be done if you stick to your guns.
Yes. He is bad, he is orange, he eats meat, hogs up ice cream and he tweets stuff. So yes, definitely all his fault. And he plays golf and has a hot wife. That seals it. With wax. Which he gets from firing up a match under the propped up aviator clad wax doll sitting in the oval office - which is definitely in the capitol building.
Right??? And the residents whining about how Walmart is leaving them in the lurch, like it’s their obligation and responsibility to provide for the people there regardless of the dangers to their employees and to store inventory.
They learned through the fakedemic they could stay home in pajamas and still get paid while dirty deplorables had to physically go to work every day making sure their Instacart and Amazon orders were filled.
But it was great! No traffic..... I 75 N & S all to myself except for some truckers. TRUCKERS!!! No body in my building. All parking open for the taking. Is that what it will be like when the Zombie Apocalypse commences?
Remember: Everyone makes fun of the Redneck until there is a Zombie Apocalypse..... right?
I get you. I was deemed “essential” which is hysterical, as I was a seasonal employee of greenhouse(!) Yep, essential. I love living in redneck country, east of I75. They showed truly who had more common sense than the city folk.
Did you notice in the press release Wmart put out they didn't mention they were losing money due to the grab and go bypassing the checkout. No. They are not white supremacists.
You know who else left their town in a lurch? Korean market owners in the vicinity of Florence and Normandie in South Central Los Angeles. Yes of course someone burned down their store, but they got insurance and the building needed renovations anyway. And Koreans are the man. Well some are. If they identify first because, how do you know?
I went to medical school on the south side of Chicago - Hyde Park/Kenwood, an affluent island surrounded by (even then) crime ridden poverty stricken communities. The University of Chicago Police Department was second in size to the City of Chicago PD. And back then both effectively Policed and controlled the Island to keep the resident professors, students AND Politicians (TNTC) safe. So. Defund the PD, weaken / loosen the DA and indoctrinate (instead of educate) students, AND Voila! Socialistic Entitled Anarchy is birthed. That would have been one birth, I'd be in favor of ABORTING. (Don't cancel me, I'm PRO-LIFE)
Chicago, Chicago that toddeling town......ooh for the good ole days memorialized by Frank.
The Walmart in Chatham that is one of the stores that's closing this weekend was looted so thoroughly during the Mostly Peaceful, Often Violent St. Floyd "Protests" that patrons went so far as to try and remove the water pipes. And yet, Walmart went ahead and restocked and reopened that store. Since the announcement, the CPD has had to place permanent posts outside of the store to prevent well-wishers from taking part in a final five-fingered goodbye.
I just finished my third reading of Atlas Shrugged, in which I played a starring role. Seriously, people, you need to read this book. It's not trivial at over a thousand pages (or 60+ hours on Audible). But it is eerily prescient.
Isn't there such a place? We think in terms of a physical location. But the objectives of the "strikers" can be achieved without a secret hideaway. We can withdraw our sanction from the monetary system, using precious metals instead. Think pre-1965 quarters and dimes at a farmer's market. We can withdraw our sanction from commerce, the trap into which Budweiser just stumbled. We can build a separate economy, and by doing so we will see the legacy economy disintegrate before our eyes. All of us who hold physical assets like Gold and Silver will be the decisionmakers and grownups once the current Ponzi scheme reaches maturity.
We live in a Suburb of Chicago. We ask ourselves the same question everyday!! Why cant people understand the absolute lunacy in Chicago. And now .... will be worse with the new Mayor. God help Chicago!!
Yes, of today's entire piece, that phrase jumped out at me. Apaprently it is Wal*Mart's civic duty to provide food and other goods to residents. Payment apparently optional.
In the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, a delusion is defined as: A false belief based on incorrect inference about external reality that is firmly sustained despite what almost everybody else believes and despite what constitutes incontrovertible and obvious proof or evidence to the contrary.
It's always someone else's fault, you see. Years ago I worked at a camp. They decided to replace the hardwood floor before they fixed the leaking roof, then the idiot who made that decision wanted to know whose fault it was that the floor got ruined. The same organization proudly let trannies in with what was once all girls, so go figure. Same logic, or lack thereof, with Lightfoot et al. Never their fault.
It just occurred to me that they should mandate that all EU and US made tanks must run on electricity only, because climate change. That’s a sure way to win.
As the Biden admin breathlessly announces that the tanks are now environmentally friendly, have a range of approx 3 km, and only need 24 hours to recharge.
Since Musk seems to be Woke Enemy #1, if he makes an electric tank for the Ukraine, will all of the virtue posers in my neighborhood take down their Ukrainian flags?
Hubby did 20 years special forces and I can promise you the news lies all the time. He would write reports and we would watch obummer lie through his teeth. If you ever hear the word advisor, that means we have “special” people there. Not surprising at all!
Jeff is wrong that the story is being embargoed by the MSM. My husband insists on watching the evening news on the networks. One of the broadcasts (CBS I think) said something about this the other day, reassuring people that the Special Forces troops were only acting as advisors. Doesn't reassure me but I expect lies from them.
At least they aren't leading off every night with Covid anymore. That made my skin crawl.
But we have learned in the last 18 months to be wary of the lede (hard to bring myself to spell it that way)---whatever MSM promotes tonight serves to distract you from what is really happening. 'Look the other way' no longer applies just to crossing the street.
Thanks--having seen it a few times recently, yesterday checked in dict. Cannot fathom why the change. Maybe journalists cannot spell? How many of my students spelled 'whether' this way: weather. How often had I to note on their translations that past tense of 'lead' is 'led' (a very commonly occurring verb when reading about Aeneas)? And I was not teaching English (except that I was by default--as their English teachers only did literature with them)
Russian Oil or Anybody's Oil. And I don't necessarily bit on the story. Oil goes where it wants. It might turn out that the oil is Russian, but through an after-market intermediary ... and perhaps in the same way in which Russian oil reaches Europe through the Middle East.
So I heard the story. And inventoried it. And thought maybe? Maybe not? But for sure, using a intermediary would, I think, facilitate inflated price money laundering various and sundry.
Or adult children. I have learned I have to let go. Ultimately we’re all going to exit the planet, some sooner some later. I should be clear there is great sadness with this and other realizations. Then I have a choice: dwell in sadness or move forward in hope for the future, find joy in small things and be blessed. I can only be responsible for self and help those open to it. None of this -and so much other in life- in my original plan (sound familiar?) so stumbling through some semblance of Plan B as I go along. So many of us forced off the edge of Ray Bradbury’s metaphorical cliff, “build[ing] our wings on the way down.” Splat always a possibility but I doubt it. Keep on. 💪💜
Yes! To find peace and joy from within, from faith, rather than looking for it in what happens in the world -- it's the only way. Anything else is suffering.
Bill Gates planned "a decade of vaccines", and he attended a tabletop exercise (like Event 201) that featured a respiratory enterovirus (kills lots of small kids) breaking out in Brazil in 2025. Monkeypox outbreak was predicted *to the day*. Why are they doing gain of function on monkeypox to make it 1000x more lethal to the test mice?
I am just waitin’ for this one. Been waitin’. Have spoken aloud to many from under my crinkly tin foil: Don’t be surprised. AND... don’t be afraid! Laugh and disparage now but recall this two square feet o’ homemade pr’tekshun you seen me wearin’ Gawd luv us.
Until then they are bringing out more haxxines. In the process of clinical trials right now for RSV shit shot for pregnant women. The genocide continues without a scamdemic.
The day before yesterday I was at the hospital for PT. A masked woman walked passed me while yapping on her phone, stopped, took her mask down and coughed like she was hacking up a furball, replace the mask and resumed walk/talking. I normally would have considered commenting but I was in a trance listening to a song from the 70's playing on the TV. I realized I had been singing the wrong words for 50ish years. Magnet and Steel. I didn't know the name, until I realized those were the words I was getting wrong. Life is full of surprises - kooks in masks AND misheard/sung songs.
Mostly true, but I suspect there are a few folks that have legitimate health concerns that simply hope it could help them some. But the eyes give away the other 99% of the maskites.
I think those who believe a mask can help them are engaging in willful blindness at this point. There's no way they can still believe a few layers of cloth can stop a virus. I feel bad for them because they are sick or have real health concerns, but a face mask will not change that. It's just a false sense of security. However, there have been plenty of studies about placebos over the decades and it is believed that our mental state regarding how sick we are does play a roll in wellness. So in that sense, maybe they do something, it's just not a physical something.
Yes, there may be a positive placebo effect for some but that has to counteract the negative effect of wearing a bacteria farm...I mean mask...on your face.
I kind of wish I owned my own business where I could charge maskers a high surcharge for promoting fear amongst other customers (or alternatively, a deep discount for all non-maskers).
Exactly! I'd give a discount for using cash and/or being maskless. I always wanted to own a little coffee shop that also rented movies.... cause you just can't do that any more. Pipe dreams in my case!
I mean, *they* always bleat about private businesses being able to decide how they want to do business when it’s about requiring masks or jabs, so turnabout is fair play, right??
I'm past reacting and I've gotten to the point where I have been forced to dehumanize these people. I don't make direct eye contact and I try not to acknowledge them when we cross paths in public. I basically pretend that they are not there.
We have a guy that rides his bike every day around our community with a big brimmed hat & long sleeves and pants to ward off any sunshine/vit D, and a mask tightly affixed to his face! In 80-90° heat (central Florida). I fully expect him to just fall over dead in the street some day.
Pretty much came to the conclusion that all I need to do everyday is read Jeff's substack to get the latest news...with humor added.!
Gee, didn't Vietnam start this way...with "advisors"?
Pedo Joe is not worried about being impeached. Our country has been taken over by the globalists. Congress won't do anything. Pedo Joe is safe from any repercussions.
Thank you Janice. My Substack reads lead me to further reading in OT, NT, every day. I had not previously read this psalm---and so learn that the line 'went down to the sea in ships' is not from a poem --well, not from a modern poem. I will say that the most valuable feature of my childhood Sunday School (perfect attendance award, most years) was the requirement to memorize a passage of scripture each year. Kindergarten--the Lord's prayer, then various psalms, 6th grade the 10 Commandments, 8th grade 1st Corinthians chap 13.
I love the part in Psalm 107 about unrighteousness shutting its mouth. And I also love how God is working in our lives and putting the Word in us even when we're just doing what we're told and it's not necessarily a heart thing...I speak for myself anyway. So glad He didn't give up on me!
Thank you Chuck. Comment--conversation with Napoleon (The Narrow Path) today made me realize that we on Substack ARE the 21st Cent Church. Not its only iteration, no, but the community of the faithful is brightly alive in this digital space. My children's childhood song, The Church is not a building, the Church is not a steeple, the Church is not a resting place......the Church is a people. And writing that gives me pause---thinking about the 'not a resting place'--which I fear it had become?
As a ukrainian-american, I think Zelensky wearing that dumb green camo sweatshirt everywhere is an insult to our intelligence. Great point on the crazy eyes, first thing I saw. At least us "alt" people have emotional intelligence, even if the left says we're barbarians.
It's like those crappy bomber jackets that Bush wore, standing atop the rubble after 911- total insult. When you don't wear that suit, we know what you are - a snake.
I think you gots that backwards Based Fla Man. We are HIS employee. He will wear what he wants. The tracksuit is lined with 1000 dollar bills (he is really a size 0 petite).
You should visit Toronto Canada. Crazy eyes everywhere. Especially those driving around alone who double down on virtue signalling by driving Teslas and wearing a mask in the vehicle.
Yesterday I saw a truck driver (a double shipping container truck) driving alone in his cab with a mask on. It shocked and sort of frightened me.
We have an acquaintance who drives a Tesla while masked up. He also wears a mask while walking along a mostly unpeopled trail. Still. Makes total sense to me. He is Bulgarian. I thought they made them stouter there.
Thanks for getting the message, CapIT---I used to give this sententia to my 7th graders---quidquid latine dicitur, altum videtur....it always sounds better in Latin
Interesting tactic of China to coddle France their way to peel them from the declining Western empire.
I think western populations know we are too degenerate and need an overhaul.
--
Putin, speaking about the degeneracy in the West: “See what they do with their own peoples - the destruction of the family, cultural and national identity, perversion, mockery of children, and pedophilia are declared the norm. The norm of their life."
I have hated Jane Fonda ever since. The soldiers who loved her in the beginning were devastated. Didn't we label her "Tokyo Jane" or something even worse?
They are, I believe, 'nations' (vb natus--born, noun natio, nationis--a birth, origin, race)--a people related by blood. We are experiencing the bad side of the melting pot. Nothing in common with other people, no real communities. (PS--not trying to show off, but having noticed how many people are trying to use Latin in comments or their names, but didn't/couldn't study it--this is something I can offer)
they have been doing it for decades. I fully remember the growing push for feminism, based entirely on Marxist desire to destroy the family. No better way than to push women out of the home and into the workforce, spearheaded by the attractive Bella Abzug. Much effort expended on corrupting the morals of girls via Helen Gurley Brown and Cosmo magazine; found out years later she said someone came over to the mag every month from the CIA with the new cover.
Putin is playing 5d chess and Biden is playing checkers. Unfortunately, he’s taking us all down with him. Ukraine is such a grift. From BTX to Zelensky, and we can’t have any accountability for these ridiculous sums of money. It would have been cheaper to just buy the Ukraine. Unrelated note: nice surprise from Mario- I guess there’s hope for him yet. And kudos to DeSantis. He keeps on plugging and there’s no where else in the US I would want to live.
I think the EU 'leaders' were sold rapid regime take down in a matter of months. And Idiot Kindegarteners that they are, these 'leaders' had no idea of the Russian preparations many years in advance of the Special Military Operation push. But here's Russia still standing and the EU in financial/trade shambles. The US is a bust ... and the final straw was an act of war (blowing up the pipeline). The missing link is the Western Central Bankers. They should have figured this all out, but either they didn't ... OR THEY WERE NOT LISTENED TO. I heard that it was the later ... and this makes the White House and State Department Geniuses loose cannons. And maybe all of this NeoCon train of disasters is why we are see counter-tendencies beginning to emerge.
I really don't think that it took much convincing for Macron to shift. I think he was already 'there' and fine with the accords and trade agreements even before he stepped off the plane in China. And by the way, what has the West to offer? China now produces more than the US and EU combined.
I can't rightly say. But it looks like some big counter-trending is going on. Like imagine my surprise that some states are now resisting the CBDC control currency mechanism. This is the biggest news of the day ... and so far no comment on it in Comments. ???
I believe if Mr. Rogers saw what a totalitarian tool PBS has now become, he would be the first to call for its demise.
C&C Army, I want to thank each one of you who helped PULVERIZE THE OVERTON WINDOW by so passionately sharing Tess Lawrie’s phenomenally powerful reading of my poem, which has now been seen by millions and has been described as “one of best videos I’ve seen in the last three years about the last three years”:
This would not have happened without you guys. THANK YOU to everyone who continues to share the message that “Mistakes Were NOT Made” as we bend the narrative from amnesty to accountability 🙌
Exactly, James! As I wrote in my article yesterday:
“Maajid Nawaz also kicked off a new trend I hope you will emulate. In addition to sharing the video, poem, YouTube url, and other video links with Mistakes Were NOT Made, please consider using that phrase every time you share evidence of intentionality, achieving the dual purpose of mainstreaming that perception-recalibrating term while simultaneously crowd-sourcing a living dossier of evidence.”
NPR and affiliates should've been privately funded eons ago. It's been so obvious that they're terribly biased in favor of the left. It's like peeing in the ocean, but a few tax $$ could be saved by cutting their funding.
Yes, the crazy eyes. It's a common trait for the Branch Covidian cult. I've seen those eyes on the faces of the remaining masking zealots in the Seattle area (10-20% of the population, at least.)
Are they aware you can get infection through the eyes as well? Duh. On second thought, full face masks could do us much good in identifying the craziest of the lot. Her eyes are definitely spooky.
Well fall of '21 when in school "they" were musing over needing to protect all mucous membranes, I thought, as a female, I have another such--you going to make me mask that?
Ukraine will be uncovered as deep state money laundering HQ. The Biden family is deeply involved in the bio labs, energy sector, etc. Zelenskyy is being paid handsomely to keep the Biden crime family’s secrets. Lots of other dems and rinos have their fingers in the Ukraine cookie jar. It’ll be a nice house cleaning when all is revealed.
Could we just get PedoJoe to take up residence on the Black Sea? Lovely beach communities. As it is, he goes to Delaware every weekend and all the local roads are shut down. Other residents find this a bit of a hindrance.
Even when it comes out they are guilty, nothing is ever done. No wonder they keep doing this crap. Until there are actually repercussions and not just strongly worded letters/statements and slaps on the wrist, then this will continue to happen.
"What is going on in Ukraine that caused Joe Biden to throw out his ethics and morals — granted, perhaps not a heavy toss — plus his fear of consequences out the window?"
INSTANT. CLASSIC!! "... granted, perhaps not a heavy toss ..."
Good thing I wasn't sipping my caffeinated beverage of choice at that moment. Thanks, Jeff!
The inmates are definitely in charge of the doctors' offices - maybe she went to med school for her indoctrination but she should have stopped in on a few engineering classes to learn something about the size of viruses and the size of mask fibres - like, really lady!!! I just talked to my aunt from Massachusetts and she told me that she has been double jabbed and triple boosted, has had all the flu shots she can find and has also taken the latest shingles vaccine AND, wait for it - just had a very bad covid infection that kept her laid up for two weeks - So, do you think that she was also wearing a mask every time she was in public ? Likely! So, there you have it...
Ugh these people make me want to bang my head against the wall 😑🙄
And yes, doctors have a way of thinking that because they have that MD behind their name, they are experts in anything tangentially related to medicine or the human body, even if they’ve never actually studied that subject.
That masked-up lady could use some help from mask expert Steve Kirsch, because if she's serious about protecting herself, she needs a PAPR. Kirsch explains:
STEVE KIRSCH [sitting in chair, wearing a PAPR] : Hi I'm Steve Kirsch, Executive Director of the Vaccine Safety Research Foundation. This is the kind of personal protection equipment that you need to protect yourself against covid if you're serious about protecting yourself. [points to eyes] Can't get it through your eyes, can't get it through your mouth. [touches black hose from mask] Everything is filtered here.
So this is known as a PAPR. It's a powered air purifying respirator. This whole unit that I've got is from MIRA Safety,* it costs about oh, um, probably around 800 dollars everything included. So the backpack here on the back [stands up and turns around to show the filters strapped to his back] costs about 400 dollars [sits down again, facing the camera], and it's 125 for the filters. These are P3 filters, these are much, much, much better than a P100 or an N95 or even like that. And then I got a full face mask, that's about 250 dollars for this face mask. And so the tube then attaches here to the PAPR [shakes the hose from the mask to the filters].
Super easy to breathe in this. It's just effortless, it's like you're just breathing air. But it's all filtered ah, so that no viruses can pass through this. So this is the kind of, if you're serious about protecting Grandma from covid, this is what you want Grandma to wear because this will protect her from getting covid. It won't protect anyone else. It will protect her. So if you want to go see Grandma, this is, you want to put this on Grandma and um, and have the filters, ah, the two filters ah the two [stands up from chair again, and turns around to show the filters] filters on the back, and you're set to go. Grandma will have a nice time breathing in that. it'll be a little awkward to talk to her, but this is the kind of protection that, if you're serious about protecting people from covid, this is what you want to wear.
Tuesday, I encountered 3 masked up ladies in a bakery. I couldn't help myself- went up to them and said "Great news, have you heard? Biden ended the covid emergency yesterday. You don't have to wear the mask anymore" One of them said to me, I wear this for "other reasons". "OK, have a great day" She went around the corner and said to her friends "I've never been bullied for wearing a mask before." Ha- welcome to the club. It's time to get in their face and let them know it's a hoax and we all know it. (They sat down, drank their coffee and ate their rolls. Then they all 3 dutifully put their masks back up over their faces and sat there for another hour- all masked up!)
Also--lovely woman at desk where I go for PT wears blue nitrile gloves and an N95. I do feel sorry for her. Her co-worker, sitting 5 feet away--none of that stuff. Must make woman #1 very nervous all day (and night) long.
It’s interesting to me that Kansans were way more masked up than Missourians. I live on the border so am back and forth constantly throughout every day. Have you noticed that?
Definitely. We went for a weekend to Springfield MO in fall 2020 and it was like heaven/freedom. We even ate at a salad bar! Missouri was our refuge through the whole darn thing.
Same thing MD vs VA. I traveled the 30 minutes from MD to VA to grocery shop and mall shop -- no mask mandates in VA for a lot of the time they had them in MD just over the river.
I wouldn’t harass them. Americans should believe in freedom. If they want to wear a mask, they should be able to do so without being confronted. They’re cowards. I never had a masked person harass me. Live and let live.
But she didn’t harass them. She just informed them. And wished them a great day after. How that could be interpreted as “bullying” can only be understood by the Covidian mind.
You are one of the few who have not been harassed. I was called "Nazi, Selfish B*tch..." A grown woman who I knew and liked in 2019 told me she was reporting me to the Community Center's management group because she walked into a room that I was alone in and I was... without mask. She goes without a mask now. If she didn't just keel over from a blood clot that blocked blood flow to her heart I would let HER know that there are far more COVID cases now than in 2020. WHERE is her germy snot rag she wore for 2 years straight. But no. Some may be cowards Sarahanne, but most were controlling trolls bent on bending the knee to their beloved authoritarian god.
I guess I just gave them “the look” and they just never f’d with me. I never hung out in public places either. I have dogs and a disabled husband so am pretty much a homebody.
One of my sisters tells me she ALSO got not one comment from anyone in public. Only her doctor. She believes it is her resting b*tch face. I think most people develop them when they age. Both my mom and this particular sister have had them all along and they can be scary. Haha. If you are reading this L please look the other way when you approach me. I'm sorry. Anyway Sarahanne, examine the reflection. You may have RBF (as my RBF sister calls it). My husband informs me that I have RBF when I am tired or have anything to drink. I should have walked around with a glass of wine in my hand in 2020. Everyone would have been more jolly.
Count yourself lucky that you avoided shamemonsters. Your dog - very cute and not at all RBF. Only rottweilers and bulldogs are capable of such things. My dog has a smile 24/7 Yes, even while sleeping. That's why she is allowed in the house AND is able to run a gambling parlor without anyone suspecting her.
I was never confronted either, other than one time when I had to take my mom to the hospital.
I was so unbelievably crabby when I had to go anywhere and the idiots were prancing around with their Covid Theater face diapers on, I’m sure my natural RBF was in full display.
At least my daughter says that’s the reason no one talks to me. She says when I’m thinking, it looks like I’m thinking about murdering someone. 😛
OMG that made me laugh. My sister says when she is listening to people they will stop and say, are you OK or are you mad? I have had a man tell me to smile as I was walking into the grocery. It got me so mad. I won't repeat here what I said. It was crude and rude. Which... made me smile. So mission accomplished old man! But my sister gets that all the time. She says she is used to it, but cannot paste a grin on for the sake of others because she feels like an idiot when she does it.
Lol. I love to laugh and joke around with others. I’m bad about starting enjoyable conversations with others everywhere I go. I rarely get in and out of a store quickly.
Actually as far as my having a resting b*tch face, my husband thinks I am beautiful, and even though I am older, men (albeit older ones) are still getting crushes on me.
I’m just not the kind of person one harasses though and I think it comes across. I also (usually) try to be kind and thoughtful to others and I think that also comes across.
Ha! I'm glad you knew I was horsing around a bit (not horsey, because he is a dumb*ss). Ladies with RBF can also be beautiful. My sister is definitely the beauty of the family. I will have to mention that it may not be her "I'm not in the mood for you" look that is keeping her safe. She has an uncanny ability to turn a non asset into one so I have to nip that in the bud immediately! Haha. Some things never change.
I love that your husband thinks you are beautiful and no doubt he is correct since he lays eyes on you every day. You are indeed a blessed lady! May you continue to be endowed with the cloak of "don't mess with her-ness". An underappreciated asset these days.
It's a little weird that you mentioned "Americans should believe in freedom" when "freedoms" were trampled over the last 3 years. I don't think what she said was harassment at all. Way nicer than the mask nazi's from a few short years ago. If you were never harassed for not wearing a mask, then you're one of the lucky few.
I went the whole pandemic without wearing a mask. I tried one on for less than 2 minutes. No one ever harassed me. Besides, the cliché two wrongs don’t make a right is absolutely true.
In her own words “ It's time to get in their face” If you think that approaching strangers and getting in their face is acceptable, than you’re no better than Maxine Waters. You just want to stir the pot, not have a conversation.
Harassed? Many times. I was told I was walking in the wrong direction in one of the aisles at the Publix supermarket. They were arrowed in one direction only. That was to avoid people coming at you threateningly in the other direction. I had to back up and go down the other aisle! When I rebelled at pulling the mask over my nose (I like to breathe fresh air), not to mention my glasses fogging up all the time, I was constantly told to pull the mask up over my nose. People would avoid getting too close to me when I wasn’t wearing a mask. PUH-LEEZE. Live and let live, but in this case, they need a little of their own medicine.
I disagree. Now if you find the person that treated you badly, and you retaliate that’s not so bad. To harass an innocent person that’s never said or done an unkind word to you is just wrong.
The gall of Lightfoot saying it’s Walmart’s job to make sure Chicago residents have access to necessities it’s equally laughable and breathtaking. What kind of reality do people like this live in? Geez.
She's repeating the party line which is "It is always someone else's fault for the problems caused by my inability to think rationally and live in reality. " They really do believe this. I recommend another shot or shots for these people. 😉
Firing Squad it is !
🤭 OH! My bad - you meant "vaccination".
Well, same difference ............
Except the "shots" I am encouraging them to get are safe and effective. 😉😉
............. I've got this bridge for sale - - -
So true. "Those who must be obeyed" have told us this. Would they lie?
Yess indeedy-deedy---safe for Chicagoans and effective for Lightfoot and successor--but the two bozos need AT LEAST two more shots to do the trick. The more, the sooner, no?
LOVE your acerbic wit, Annie.
If I don't find humor or a bright side to all this absurdity, I may run screaming from the building. 😉
I'd run to my mother - but she a Leftie who thinks Rachel Maddow is the 'Truth Fairy'.
You GOTTA laugh at the foolishness.
Got. To.
A little laughter lightens the load--BIG TIME!
Tequila
?? As in " ta - kill - ya " ??
😆😆😆
After listening to Lightfoot I need a shot.......of whiskey!
No amount if liquor will make her or her words appealing. 🤣😝
Huh. for me It creates a mad desire to scream "beetlejuice, BEETLEjuice, BEETLEJUICE!"
I'm still trying to determine if the Beetlejuice reference refers to the movie portrayal, or the Howard Stern character (Lester Green).

Transhumans are already here.
I'm pretty sure they mean the movie. Maybe the hairline.
But, but...then she'd show up. 😫
Exactly!
safe and effective !!!
So so true! I am over these people’s unwillingness to ever admit any fault or responsibility!!
And it seems that it's EIGHT walmarts that are closing. But who will get the blame?
https://twitter.com/ooh_mow/status/1646378457516085248
It’s going to be ‘these poor people in these neighborhoods have nowhere to buy decent food’. Ms Lightfoot, it was YOUR JOB to provide an environment where Walmarts employees would be safe and where the stores could actually turn a profit.
I think there is another aspect to this: a move towards relying less on cheap international sweat shop goods, especially from China. If Walmart, and our disposable way of living, are taken from us, we'll be just in time to try to remember how to make things ourselves. I still have so many things from my grandparents which today would have broken long ago.
ebay is a phenomenal source of Heritage/Vintage MADE IN THE USA products
the STILL WORK.
I have bought something on EBay two times in my life, 20 years apart, and both times it was a disaster, and I'm not just talking about not being satisfied with the product. I'm always hearing about how people like it, but I will never ever buy anything there again.
I must say I did but some old tools there.
She knows exactly what her job was and she did it . She wasn’t installed to make Chicago safe or prosperous. Gaslighting you with the very opposite of reality is so in the playbook.
And Jeff the eyes 👁️👁️👁️👀definitely tell the tale.
Also, if Walmarts can't keep open, can any of the small businesses do so? I keep watching and asking....how far down the tubes does it have to go before people wake up?
Hey Cowgirl Dee,
100% -I can't write that big enough. 100%! Ruined it for so so many Mom and Pops across the country. They were bastards to deal with on the other side also; basically demanding wholesalers and suppliers to kowtow to their ever changing demands. Back in the 80's and early 90's, every big vendor bent over backwards to attempt to meet their crazy schedules and response times. I was a Field Engineer with a major retail computer corp and I can tell you from personal experience, at times, it was like trying to keep up with 4 year old full of Snickers and Coca Cola. I got stories....

This reminds me of how Amazon treats their sellers.
Consider Amazon's logo with a little imagination and it's pretty clear what they think of all of us.
Yes, I have heard. Many big players are cut from the same cloth.
It boarders on disrespect but that's me.
Later Jay
This happened in my town too. They just ran the locals out of business. I wish Walmart would close here too.
they did the same thing in small towns across the country
Not everybody has to cave. In 1995, my business was young. I produce Hawaiian clothing patterns. (victoriajonescollection.com) I was just getting started, and that year one of my retailers who sold 50% of my patterns, went out of business. Walmart moved into Kona, contacted me, and told me that they would guarantee buying an astronomical amount of patterns ( I can't remember the number, but it seemed like a million) if I would sign an exclusive deal with them. I confess I wavered. But I did not cave even though I really needed the money. I realized that if I signed with Walmart, the other half of my business, the mom and pops, would not have my (albeit meager) business. I told Walmart "No thanks". And guess what? In a couple of years, Walmart CLOSED their fabric/pattern department. AND, the mom-and-pops, many of them, and I are still doing business. Many of those originals are now in the hands of their children, but so far, so good. We have simply kept on. And we didn't raise rates astronomically, like everyone does. I just want to say that I have lived it, and it does not need to be like what is portrayed. Every business owner makes their own decision. And in the end, the manager of the aforementioned big store which closed, ended up buying several stores on several islands. And we are still doing business! Haha! We were young then, just 30, and now we are old. Over 70. But it can be done if you stick to your guns.
Ohhh, a food desert! The horror caused by capitalists!
Cahokia is an IL ‘burb of St. Louis. The closure of that Walmart is likely due to the same problem in Chicago ‘burbs.
My family lived in Cahokia when I was just a baby. My Dad worked for Missouri Pacific back in the early '60's. Such a small world.
Best!
Later Jay
Hi Jay--My former in-laws farmed just south of Scott AFB. Cahokia Mounds was a favorite excursion with my kids' grandma. Small world indeed!
They Cahokia Mounts were very much like the Aztec pyramids with human sacrifice and all, iirc.
Walmart, close democrat stores, Live Better!
No matter - it's probably Trump's fault.
...isn't everything ?!
He’s back in NY today on another legal charge. The goal of the democrats is to tie him up in so much legal drama he can’t run a campaign.
Yes. He is bad, he is orange, he eats meat, hogs up ice cream and he tweets stuff. So yes, definitely all his fault. And he plays golf and has a hot wife. That seals it. With wax. Which he gets from firing up a match under the propped up aviator clad wax doll sitting in the oval office - which is definitely in the capitol building.
I'm betting the dems will blame Russia for this one.
No Gorgo! CLIMATE CHANGE!!! Get it right!
Later Jay
With Trump being the metaphor for 'Whites peepo'.
Right??? And the residents whining about how Walmart is leaving them in the lurch, like it’s their obligation and responsibility to provide for the people there regardless of the dangers to their employees and to store inventory.
They learned through the fakedemic they could stay home in pajamas and still get paid while dirty deplorables had to physically go to work every day making sure their Instacart and Amazon orders were filled.
💯
But it was great! No traffic..... I 75 N & S all to myself except for some truckers. TRUCKERS!!! No body in my building. All parking open for the taking. Is that what it will be like when the Zombie Apocalypse commences?
Remember: Everyone makes fun of the Redneck until there is a Zombie Apocalypse..... right?
Later Jay
I get you. I was deemed “essential” which is hysterical, as I was a seasonal employee of greenhouse(!) Yep, essential. I love living in redneck country, east of I75. They showed truly who had more common sense than the city folk.
Did you notice in the press release Wmart put out they didn't mention they were losing money due to the grab and go bypassing the checkout. No. They are not white supremacists.
You know who else left their town in a lurch? Korean market owners in the vicinity of Florence and Normandie in South Central Los Angeles. Yes of course someone burned down their store, but they got insurance and the building needed renovations anyway. And Koreans are the man. Well some are. If they identify first because, how do you know?
I went to medical school on the south side of Chicago - Hyde Park/Kenwood, an affluent island surrounded by (even then) crime ridden poverty stricken communities. The University of Chicago Police Department was second in size to the City of Chicago PD. And back then both effectively Policed and controlled the Island to keep the resident professors, students AND Politicians (TNTC) safe. So. Defund the PD, weaken / loosen the DA and indoctrinate (instead of educate) students, AND Voila! Socialistic Entitled Anarchy is birthed. That would have been one birth, I'd be in favor of ABORTING. (Don't cancel me, I'm PRO-LIFE)
Chicago, Chicago that toddeling town......ooh for the good ole days memorialized by Frank.

A while back an IT problem messed up the EBT system at a Georgia county.
A 'mom' with 7 kids was ranting in front of the office, saying, 'who's gonna feed all these babies!!!'
Ya.
The Walmart in Chatham that is one of the stores that's closing this weekend was looted so thoroughly during the Mostly Peaceful, Often Violent St. Floyd "Protests" that patrons went so far as to try and remove the water pipes. And yet, Walmart went ahead and restocked and reopened that store. Since the announcement, the CPD has had to place permanent posts outside of the store to prevent well-wishers from taking part in a final five-fingered goodbye.
Some people are not suited for a modern society.
Dear lame duck mayor lightfoot, thinking about a line from your sister, the beloved Pelosi: … you are going to have to prove you are innocent…😳
I just finished my third reading of Atlas Shrugged, in which I played a starring role. Seriously, people, you need to read this book. It's not trivial at over a thousand pages (or 60+ hours on Audible). But it is eerily prescient.
I love that book. I only wish there was an actual Galt’s Gulch where we could flee.
Isn't there such a place? We think in terms of a physical location. But the objectives of the "strikers" can be achieved without a secret hideaway. We can withdraw our sanction from the monetary system, using precious metals instead. Think pre-1965 quarters and dimes at a farmer's market. We can withdraw our sanction from commerce, the trap into which Budweiser just stumbled. We can build a separate economy, and by doing so we will see the legacy economy disintegrate before our eyes. All of us who hold physical assets like Gold and Silver will be the decisionmakers and grownups once the current Ponzi scheme reaches maturity.
Excellent points!
We live in a Suburb of Chicago. We ask ourselves the same question everyday!! Why cant people understand the absolute lunacy in Chicago. And now .... will be worse with the new Mayor. God help Chicago!!
Wait! What??
The Lightfoots of society want govmint in charge of everything & to provide everything for everyone..... until they don’t.
Can’t fix stupid.
Yes, of today's entire piece, that phrase jumped out at me. Apaprently it is Wal*Mart's civic duty to provide food and other goods to residents. Payment apparently optional.
These people are delusional.
In the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, a delusion is defined as: A false belief based on incorrect inference about external reality that is firmly sustained despite what almost everybody else believes and despite what constitutes incontrovertible and obvious proof or evidence to the contrary.
They've all been brainwashed into believing THIS is the only way, and corporate America bad, government good. Here to help you they are (yoda).
It's always someone else's fault, you see. Years ago I worked at a camp. They decided to replace the hardwood floor before they fixed the leaking roof, then the idiot who made that decision wanted to know whose fault it was that the floor got ruined. The same organization proudly let trannies in with what was once all girls, so go figure. Same logic, or lack thereof, with Lightfoot et al. Never their fault.
Maybe Leadfoot can get a job as a greeter wherever Walmart moves to. Sounds like she may need a new job in a new city.
Well they just may want to avoid hiring her as a greeter because seeing that in the entryway will scare even Walmart shoppers away 😆😛
You are so right! 🤣
It just occurred to me that they should mandate that all EU and US made tanks must run on electricity only, because climate change. That’s a sure way to win.
As the Biden admin breathlessly announces that the tanks are now environmentally friendly, have a range of approx 3 km, and only need 24 hours to recharge.
Elon Tesla Tank coming right up. Dude thinks of everything!
Since Musk seems to be Woke Enemy #1, if he makes an electric tank for the Ukraine, will all of the virtue posers in my neighborhood take down their Ukrainian flags?
I’m guessing “no”
via tax credits!
Oh my word that is hilarious and there are probably a lot of people who would totally LOVE this idea 😆🤣
Terrific thought!
We need a battery powered airforce, just need really long extension cords back to the wind mills.
😂😂😂😂😂
It’s in the plans ...
Hubby did 20 years special forces and I can promise you the news lies all the time. He would write reports and we would watch obummer lie through his teeth. If you ever hear the word advisor, that means we have “special” people there. Not surprising at all!
Isn’t that how we shoehorned into Vietnam? I’ll ask hubby who was sent there.
As depicted in Neil Sheehan's classic, A Bright Shining Lie: John Paul Vann and America in Vietnam. The location may change but the playbook doesn't.
A Bright Shining Lie opened my eyes to how we’re always being played. Great, great book.
Up until then, I truly thought VN was an honorable quest and we were the “good guys.”
"Good guys" is a relative term. El Salvador and Nicaragua in the 80s also come to mind.
Janet I wouldn’t be surprised at all. Obummer was a wake up call for my family.
We had advisors first. JFK sent them as I recall.
My husband says that all the "wars" i.e. Vietnam and Korea, were termed police actions, to circumvent the need for Congress's approval
Exactly!!!!
I was wondering when that “police action” to “war” switch got flipped
Jeff is wrong that the story is being embargoed by the MSM. My husband insists on watching the evening news on the networks. One of the broadcasts (CBS I think) said something about this the other day, reassuring people that the Special Forces troops were only acting as advisors. Doesn't reassure me but I expect lies from them.
At least they aren't leading off every night with Covid anymore. That made my skin crawl.
Yes sooooooo over Covid and the trans topics! Watched fox this morning and they talked about the SF guys over there.
But we have learned in the last 18 months to be wary of the lede (hard to bring myself to spell it that way)---whatever MSM promotes tonight serves to distract you from what is really happening. 'Look the other way' no longer applies just to crossing the street.
I just want everyone to know that years back in J school we were spelling it "lead".
. Don't know when 'lede' became a thing ---
Thanks--having seen it a few times recently, yesterday checked in dict. Cannot fathom why the change. Maybe journalists cannot spell? How many of my students spelled 'whether' this way: weather. How often had I to note on their translations that past tense of 'lead' is 'led' (a very commonly occurring verb when reading about Aeneas)? And I was not teaching English (except that I was by default--as their English teachers only did literature with them)
Here's Merriam-Webster's explanation:
https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/bury-the-lede-versus-lead
I won't be joining the throngs with the funny spelling. I'll just do it the way they taught me back in J school and stick with that.
I know a soldier whose advisor roles included protecting serious bad people and assassinating others.
They can always boost their reporting of Covid. 🤣
Adviser goes all the way back to the Kennedy administration. This is a lie they have been telling forever!!!
Viet Nam started with us “advising” the South Vietnamese on how to fight the communist insurgents.
We weren’t actually “fighting” them ourselves, donchaknow. Just showing our friends how to do it.
Sure
So Putin sells the diesel to Ukraine to power their military. You don't even need to know 2D chess to figure this one out:
Kremlin advisor: "Zelensky wants fuel so he can bring his equipment within range of our artillery. Do we sell it to him?"
Putin: "Da! Give him big discount!"
Russian Oil or Anybody's Oil. And I don't necessarily bit on the story. Oil goes where it wants. It might turn out that the oil is Russian, but through an after-market intermediary ... and perhaps in the same way in which Russian oil reaches Europe through the Middle East.
So I heard the story. And inventoried it. And thought maybe? Maybe not? But for sure, using a intermediary would, I think, facilitate inflated price money laundering various and sundry.
One small injection for man, One giant genocide for mankind!
The one bright spot in it is the covidiots get culled at a faster and higher rate. Those people are beyond helping.
I’ve been saying this for a year. They are a self culling herd.
Natural selection ... maybe Darwin was right!
Except that some are our fearful parents or sibs who have been KIA.
Or adult children. I have learned I have to let go. Ultimately we’re all going to exit the planet, some sooner some later. I should be clear there is great sadness with this and other realizations. Then I have a choice: dwell in sadness or move forward in hope for the future, find joy in small things and be blessed. I can only be responsible for self and help those open to it. None of this -and so much other in life- in my original plan (sound familiar?) so stumbling through some semblance of Plan B as I go along. So many of us forced off the edge of Ray Bradbury’s metaphorical cliff, “build[ing] our wings on the way down.” Splat always a possibility but I doubt it. Keep on. 💪💜
Yes! To find peace and joy from within, from faith, rather than looking for it in what happens in the world -- it's the only way. Anything else is suffering.
Marburg fear porn is next.
I honestly don't think they'll go with the Big Scary Disease thing again so soon. They are tacky, but they are not THAT tacky. Or are they?
Bill Gates planned "a decade of vaccines", and he attended a tabletop exercise (like Event 201) that featured a respiratory enterovirus (kills lots of small kids) breaking out in Brazil in 2025. Monkeypox outbreak was predicted *to the day*. Why are they doing gain of function on monkeypox to make it 1000x more lethal to the test mice?
I think they just keep trying, like chucking wet balled up TP to the ceiling--let's see what sticks.
When they resort to the GrandDaddy Scam of All - the alien invasion - we will know that they are really running on fumes.
Oh, that scam is surely coming.

Until then they are bringing out more haxxines. In the process of clinical trials right now for RSV shit shot for pregnant women. The genocide continues without a scamdemic.

Bill Gates took it out of the refrigerator to release...or maybe Fauci.
Now now, Bill Gates will have to report you to his “Windows XP’s”.🤣😉
You mean MORALS. And yes, I agree.
Haha I say that to my husband when we get up in the morning lol 😉
It was predicted well over a year ago by my group of Australian anti-vaxxers that Marburg would be like Covid on steroids. We'll see
It's one reason why I'm glad we don't have a tv. Can't underestimate the media's ability to be hysterical and histrionic
It is treatable with megadoses of c by IV. If they move to ban C by IV, have tons of Vit C and IVM on hand.
We will know if pHarma touts a Mar-velous jab for that.

Hey Florida Man! Very funny and a Good One!
I hate the masking in my area, but also kind of appreciate those who do it. Helps me figure out who the real crazies are.
The day before yesterday I was at the hospital for PT. A masked woman walked passed me while yapping on her phone, stopped, took her mask down and coughed like she was hacking up a furball, replace the mask and resumed walk/talking. I normally would have considered commenting but I was in a trance listening to a song from the 70's playing on the TV. I realized I had been singing the wrong words for 50ish years. Magnet and Steel. I didn't know the name, until I realized those were the words I was getting wrong. Life is full of surprises - kooks in masks AND misheard/sung songs.
We could do a whole substack on words to songs we had wrong all along.
🤪
Bingo. I can see who the nutters are.
Mostly true, but I suspect there are a few folks that have legitimate health concerns that simply hope it could help them some. But the eyes give away the other 99% of the maskites.
I think those who believe a mask can help them are engaging in willful blindness at this point. There's no way they can still believe a few layers of cloth can stop a virus. I feel bad for them because they are sick or have real health concerns, but a face mask will not change that. It's just a false sense of security. However, there have been plenty of studies about placebos over the decades and it is believed that our mental state regarding how sick we are does play a roll in wellness. So in that sense, maybe they do something, it's just not a physical something.
Yes, there may be a positive placebo effect for some but that has to counteract the negative effect of wearing a bacteria farm...I mean mask...on your face.
Bacteria farm, I will have to start calling masks that 😆
"Bacteria farm"... I am stealing that. :) And probably a fungus farm, too.... yeast thrives in a warm, moist environment.
I kind of wish I owned my own business where I could charge maskers a high surcharge for promoting fear amongst other customers (or alternatively, a deep discount for all non-maskers).
Exactly! I'd give a discount for using cash and/or being maskless. I always wanted to own a little coffee shop that also rented movies.... cause you just can't do that any more. Pipe dreams in my case!
I mean, *they* always bleat about private businesses being able to decide how they want to do business when it’s about requiring masks or jabs, so turnabout is fair play, right??
I'm past reacting and I've gotten to the point where I have been forced to dehumanize these people. I don't make direct eye contact and I try not to acknowledge them when we cross paths in public. I basically pretend that they are not there.
There are two real "crazy" tells for me:
1. Someone walking alone outdoors, with the mask strapped on fully.
2. Someone driving in their car ALONE with the mask on.
We have a guy that rides his bike every day around our community with a big brimmed hat & long sleeves and pants to ward off any sunshine/vit D, and a mask tightly affixed to his face! In 80-90° heat (central Florida). I fully expect him to just fall over dead in the street some day.
Pretty much came to the conclusion that all I need to do everyday is read Jeff's substack to get the latest news...with humor added.!
Gee, didn't Vietnam start this way...with "advisors"?
Pedo Joe is not worried about being impeached. Our country has been taken over by the globalists. Congress won't do anything. Pedo Joe is safe from any repercussions.
He thinks impeached is a flavor of ice cream. Why would he be afraid of that?

Two scoops for Joe!
Pedo Joe isnt worried about anything. He is a protected species.
We don’t have advisers in Ukraine.
People were upset because they bought Russian propaganda that there was theft of weapons, so we put inspectors there to monitor the weapons.
Now people are throwing a fit over that.
Make up your minds people
Yes...That’s what what we were TOLD ...but do we really KNOW ! 🤨
Just a little tease 😁
...so much to keep track of. So much to unravel !
Russia is 414 days into their 3 day war. They claimed victory over a year ago but are still fighting today.
Western weapons and aid are working.
Thanks! I do think there’s much to learn.
When they are diminished and bowed down
Through oppression, misery and sorrow,
He pours contempt upon princes
And makes them wander in a pathless waste.
But He sets the needy securely on high away from affliction,
And makes his families like a flock.
The upright see it and are glad;
But all unrighteousness shuts its mouth.
Who is wise? Let him give heed to these things,
And consider the lovingkindnesses of the Lord.
— Psalm 107:39-43 NASB1995
Put no confidence in princes
or for help on man depend
For he shall die to dust returning
and his purposes shall end.
Thank you Janice. My Substack reads lead me to further reading in OT, NT, every day. I had not previously read this psalm---and so learn that the line 'went down to the sea in ships' is not from a poem --well, not from a modern poem. I will say that the most valuable feature of my childhood Sunday School (perfect attendance award, most years) was the requirement to memorize a passage of scripture each year. Kindergarten--the Lord's prayer, then various psalms, 6th grade the 10 Commandments, 8th grade 1st Corinthians chap 13.
I love the part in Psalm 107 about unrighteousness shutting its mouth. And I also love how God is working in our lives and putting the Word in us even when we're just doing what we're told and it's not necessarily a heart thing...I speak for myself anyway. So glad He didn't give up on me!
Two groups I like who put the Psalms to music are
The Psalms Project - he started with Psalm 1 and forward
Sons of Korah- don’t follow any certain order.
Thank you Chuck. Comment--conversation with Napoleon (The Narrow Path) today made me realize that we on Substack ARE the 21st Cent Church. Not its only iteration, no, but the community of the faithful is brightly alive in this digital space. My children's childhood song, The Church is not a building, the Church is not a steeple, the Church is not a resting place......the Church is a people. And writing that gives me pause---thinking about the 'not a resting place'--which I fear it had become?
As a ukrainian-american, I think Zelensky wearing that dumb green camo sweatshirt everywhere is an insult to our intelligence. Great point on the crazy eyes, first thing I saw. At least us "alt" people have emotional intelligence, even if the left says we're barbarians.
As the highest paid employee of the USA, you'd figure Zelensky could afford better threads.
It's like those crappy bomber jackets that Bush wore, standing atop the rubble after 911- total insult. When you don't wear that suit, we know what you are - a snake.
And think how Mr. Trump is always (at least whenever photographed) dressed.
Good point
And Biden always in his Ray Bans… like he’s 20 coming from a college frat party. It’s insulting.
I think you gots that backwards Based Fla Man. We are HIS employee. He will wear what he wants. The tracksuit is lined with 1000 dollar bills (he is really a size 0 petite).
he's the deep state's employee, pushing the neocon agenda. They keep him safe, he keeps doing kickbacks; what a racket.
All for show. That’s his costume/schtick
He’s not the highest paid employee of the USA.
He’s an ally.
There is a difference.
Sweet summer child.
You should visit Toronto Canada. Crazy eyes everywhere. Especially those driving around alone who double down on virtue signalling by driving Teslas and wearing a mask in the vehicle.
Yesterday I saw a truck driver (a double shipping container truck) driving alone in his cab with a mask on. It shocked and sort of frightened me.
We have an acquaintance who drives a Tesla while masked up. He also wears a mask while walking along a mostly unpeopled trail. Still. Makes total sense to me. He is Bulgarian. I thought they made them stouter there.
I live in Niagara region, and try to never go to Mordor. How about you David, live in Toronto?
Will check--expect to be there in 2 wk
Nice moniker Via Veritas Vita
Thanks for getting the message, CapIT---I used to give this sententia to my 7th graders---quidquid latine dicitur, altum videtur....it always sounds better in Latin
Semper ubi sub ubi... or something.
That was indeed quite the joke for middle schoolers doing Latin--thanks. Always where under where.
If you've got it, flaunt it.
Right??? Does it ever get washed? Does he have multiple green camo sweatshirts?
Zelensky’s green camo sweatshirts probably have designer labels in them. He can afford the best on our dime.
You’re gonna hate to learn how Winston Churchill
Dressed when he visited the USA to beg for aid after Pearl Harbor
A new one every day, probably.

Interesting tactic of China to coddle France their way to peel them from the declining Western empire.
I think western populations know we are too degenerate and need an overhaul.
--
Putin, speaking about the degeneracy in the West: “See what they do with their own peoples - the destruction of the family, cultural and national identity, perversion, mockery of children, and pedophilia are declared the norm. The norm of their life."
My question is, how much of this social destruction was originally funded by our enemies?
While that is an understandable question, funding wouldn't matter if we didn't buy.
Yep. Ticktock don't ticktock without the ample crop of narcissists we are growing.
Lots. But mostly from within. Like think back to Jane Fonda allying with the commies during the Vietnam era. We're a very fragmented society.
Unlike the Eastern countries, which are more mono-ethnic and generally working together as a society.
I have hated Jane Fonda ever since. The soldiers who loved her in the beginning were devastated. Didn't we label her "Tokyo Jane" or something even worse?
“Hanoi Jane.” (Being an old boomer finally pays off. )
You have more in common with Fonda than you want to admit
Shaddup, you globalist LGBTQ exporter.
Godda take your wins where ya can Fred.
They are, I believe, 'nations' (vb natus--born, noun natio, nationis--a birth, origin, race)--a people related by blood. We are experiencing the bad side of the melting pot. Nothing in common with other people, no real communities. (PS--not trying to show off, but having noticed how many people are trying to use Latin in comments or their names, but didn't/couldn't study it--this is something I can offer)
What are those eastern countries doing to help Ukraine?
Might want to see what they’re doing
they have been doing it for decades. I fully remember the growing push for feminism, based entirely on Marxist desire to destroy the family. No better way than to push women out of the home and into the workforce, spearheaded by the attractive Bella Abzug. Much effort expended on corrupting the morals of girls via Helen Gurley Brown and Cosmo magazine; found out years later she said someone came over to the mag every month from the CIA with the new cover.
!!! I remember too. Utterly subversive. Capsized the family.
Never heard that one. But why am I not surprised.
I believe our enemies are siphoning the cost from the U.S. Treasury. We are paying for our own destruction.
Russia funds seperatist movements in the USA, so might want to take a pick there. They also pay off Hunter a lot and send hookers to him.
Putin is playing 5d chess and Biden is playing checkers. Unfortunately, he’s taking us all down with him. Ukraine is such a grift. From BTX to Zelensky, and we can’t have any accountability for these ridiculous sums of money. It would have been cheaper to just buy the Ukraine. Unrelated note: nice surprise from Mario- I guess there’s hope for him yet. And kudos to DeSantis. He keeps on plugging and there’s no where else in the US I would want to live.
Putin is NOT all bad. He can see the light!
He’s a communist tyrant who hates the west and America. He also loves Covid vaccines, mandates, and digital ID and currency.
What are you talking about?
I think the EU 'leaders' were sold rapid regime take down in a matter of months. And Idiot Kindegarteners that they are, these 'leaders' had no idea of the Russian preparations many years in advance of the Special Military Operation push. But here's Russia still standing and the EU in financial/trade shambles. The US is a bust ... and the final straw was an act of war (blowing up the pipeline). The missing link is the Western Central Bankers. They should have figured this all out, but either they didn't ... OR THEY WERE NOT LISTENED TO. I heard that it was the later ... and this makes the White House and State Department Geniuses loose cannons. And maybe all of this NeoCon train of disasters is why we are see counter-tendencies beginning to emerge.
I really don't think that it took much convincing for Macron to shift. I think he was already 'there' and fine with the accords and trade agreements even before he stepped off the plane in China. And by the way, what has the West to offer? China now produces more than the US and EU combined.
I can't rightly say. But it looks like some big counter-trending is going on. Like imagine my surprise that some states are now resisting the CBDC control currency mechanism. This is the biggest news of the day ... and so far no comment on it in Comments. ???
Oh, what a long, sad way PBS has fallen since Mr. Rogers’s poignant plea for continued funding in 1969:

I believe if Mr. Rogers saw what a totalitarian tool PBS has now become, he would be the first to call for its demise.
C&C Army, I want to thank each one of you who helped PULVERIZE THE OVERTON WINDOW by so passionately sharing Tess Lawrie’s phenomenally powerful reading of my poem, which has now been seen by millions and has been described as “one of best videos I’ve seen in the last three years about the last three years”:
• “Mistakes Were NOT Made: One Poem to Wake the World” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/mistakes-were-not-made-one-poem-to)
This would not have happened without you guys. THANK YOU to everyone who continues to share the message that “Mistakes Were NOT Made” as we bend the narrative from amnesty to accountability 🙌
P.S. “Hersch” should be “Hersh” :-)
#MistakesWereNOTMade - use this hashtag on everything where the narrative lies are posted or dissected. Make it trend!
Exactly, James! As I wrote in my article yesterday:
“Maajid Nawaz also kicked off a new trend I hope you will emulate. In addition to sharing the video, poem, YouTube url, and other video links with Mistakes Were NOT Made, please consider using that phrase every time you share evidence of intentionality, achieving the dual purpose of mainstreaming that perception-recalibrating term while simultaneously crowd-sourcing a living dossier of evidence.”
NPR and affiliates should've been privately funded eons ago. It's been so obvious that they're terribly biased in favor of the left. It's like peeing in the ocean, but a few tax $$ could be saved by cutting their funding.
Yes, the crazy eyes. It's a common trait for the Branch Covidian cult. I've seen those eyes on the faces of the remaining masking zealots in the Seattle area (10-20% of the population, at least.)
Are they aware you can get infection through the eyes as well? Duh. On second thought, full face masks could do us much good in identifying the craziest of the lot. Her eyes are definitely spooky.
A plastic mask would definitely ensure that she never gets or spreads covid.
Well fall of '21 when in school "they" were musing over needing to protect all mucous membranes, I thought, as a female, I have another such--you going to make me mask that?
We all have another (male and female) not terribly distant from the one you mention.
Although most already cover that one in public. Albeit not with a mask.
But do they like BBC?! LOL.😂😂
Ukraine will be uncovered as deep state money laundering HQ. The Biden family is deeply involved in the bio labs, energy sector, etc. Zelenskyy is being paid handsomely to keep the Biden crime family’s secrets. Lots of other dems and rinos have their fingers in the Ukraine cookie jar. It’ll be a nice house cleaning when all is revealed.
IF IT IS EVER REVEALED? DEMS HAVE THEIR WAYS OF AVOIDING PROSECUTION . think about dear Hillary.
Could we just get PedoJoe to take up residence on the Black Sea? Lovely beach communities. As it is, he goes to Delaware every weekend and all the local roads are shut down. Other residents find this a bit of a hindrance.
Even when it comes out they are guilty, nothing is ever done. No wonder they keep doing this crap. Until there are actually repercussions and not just strongly worded letters/statements and slaps on the wrist, then this will continue to happen.
When? It’s been a while.
"What is going on in Ukraine that caused Joe Biden to throw out his ethics and morals — granted, perhaps not a heavy toss — plus his fear of consequences out the window?"
INSTANT. CLASSIC!! "... granted, perhaps not a heavy toss ..."
Good thing I wasn't sipping my caffeinated beverage of choice at that moment. Thanks, Jeff!
The inmates are definitely in charge of the doctors' offices - maybe she went to med school for her indoctrination but she should have stopped in on a few engineering classes to learn something about the size of viruses and the size of mask fibres - like, really lady!!! I just talked to my aunt from Massachusetts and she told me that she has been double jabbed and triple boosted, has had all the flu shots she can find and has also taken the latest shingles vaccine AND, wait for it - just had a very bad covid infection that kept her laid up for two weeks - So, do you think that she was also wearing a mask every time she was in public ? Likely! So, there you have it...
Ugh these people make me want to bang my head against the wall 😑🙄
And yes, doctors have a way of thinking that because they have that MD behind their name, they are experts in anything tangentially related to medicine or the human body, even if they’ve never actually studied that subject.
I think of them as drug dealers now, not doctors. They don't do anything but follow their handlers' directions.
Oh, you're sick from your Jabs? Here's some medication for that.
That masked-up lady could use some help from mask expert Steve Kirsch, because if she's serious about protecting herself, she needs a PAPR. Kirsch explains:
How to protect Grandma from getting COVID
March 5, 2022
https://rumble.com/vwkawa-how-to-protect-grandma-from-getting-covid.html
TRANSCRIPT
STEVE KIRSCH [sitting in chair, wearing a PAPR] : Hi I'm Steve Kirsch, Executive Director of the Vaccine Safety Research Foundation. This is the kind of personal protection equipment that you need to protect yourself against covid if you're serious about protecting yourself. [points to eyes] Can't get it through your eyes, can't get it through your mouth. [touches black hose from mask] Everything is filtered here.
So this is known as a PAPR. It's a powered air purifying respirator. This whole unit that I've got is from MIRA Safety,* it costs about oh, um, probably around 800 dollars everything included. So the backpack here on the back [stands up and turns around to show the filters strapped to his back] costs about 400 dollars [sits down again, facing the camera], and it's 125 for the filters. These are P3 filters, these are much, much, much better than a P100 or an N95 or even like that. And then I got a full face mask, that's about 250 dollars for this face mask. And so the tube then attaches here to the PAPR [shakes the hose from the mask to the filters].
Super easy to breathe in this. It's just effortless, it's like you're just breathing air. But it's all filtered ah, so that no viruses can pass through this. So this is the kind of, if you're serious about protecting Grandma from covid, this is what you want Grandma to wear because this will protect her from getting covid. It won't protect anyone else. It will protect her. So if you want to go see Grandma, this is, you want to put this on Grandma and um, and have the filters, ah, the two filters ah the two [stands up from chair again, and turns around to show the filters] filters on the back, and you're set to go. Grandma will have a nice time breathing in that. it'll be a little awkward to talk to her, but this is the kind of protection that, if you're serious about protecting people from covid, this is what you want to wear.

Another advantage to that get-up Steve is wearing: I'll bet we wouldn't find them discarded in parking lots everywhere!
OR- you could shore up your immune system with vitamin D3, zinc, magnesium, selenium and C. Protocol from Dr. Andrew Saul at Orthomolecular medicine.
No one's makin money on that line up. Must be a scam!
Tuesday, I encountered 3 masked up ladies in a bakery. I couldn't help myself- went up to them and said "Great news, have you heard? Biden ended the covid emergency yesterday. You don't have to wear the mask anymore" One of them said to me, I wear this for "other reasons". "OK, have a great day" She went around the corner and said to her friends "I've never been bullied for wearing a mask before." Ha- welcome to the club. It's time to get in their face and let them know it's a hoax and we all know it. (They sat down, drank their coffee and ate their rolls. Then they all 3 dutifully put their masks back up over their faces and sat there for another hour- all masked up!)
"I've never been bullied before." Note passive voice. Bet you wished you could have said, "But have you ever bullied others into wearing the mask?"
Thanks for this post
Also--lovely woman at desk where I go for PT wears blue nitrile gloves and an N95. I do feel sorry for her. Her co-worker, sitting 5 feet away--none of that stuff. Must make woman #1 very nervous all day (and night) long.
And she probably gets sick more often. Irony probably goes right over her head.
see I love this trend. it's fine with me. I know whom to avoid.
They aren’t getting enough oxygen to their brains. Sad really.
Next time ask them how long they plan to continue wearing a mask.
It’s interesting to me that Kansans were way more masked up than Missourians. I live on the border so am back and forth constantly throughout every day. Have you noticed that?
Definitely. We went for a weekend to Springfield MO in fall 2020 and it was like heaven/freedom. We even ate at a salad bar! Missouri was our refuge through the whole darn thing.
Same thing MD vs VA. I traveled the 30 minutes from MD to VA to grocery shop and mall shop -- no mask mandates in VA for a lot of the time they had them in MD just over the river.
Me too! I live just south of Joplin, so I get OK, MO, KS, and some AR. KS is more uptight. It’s probably the ridiculous property taxes. 😛
I wouldn’t harass them. Americans should believe in freedom. If they want to wear a mask, they should be able to do so without being confronted. They’re cowards. I never had a masked person harass me. Live and let live.
But she didn’t harass them. She just informed them. And wished them a great day after. How that could be interpreted as “bullying” can only be understood by the Covidian mind.
I once was “politely” asked to keep 6 ft distance from the lady. THAT was bullying in my opinion. I rolled my eyes so hard, I think I saw my brain 😂
You are one of the few who have not been harassed. I was called "Nazi, Selfish B*tch..." A grown woman who I knew and liked in 2019 told me she was reporting me to the Community Center's management group because she walked into a room that I was alone in and I was... without mask. She goes without a mask now. If she didn't just keel over from a blood clot that blocked blood flow to her heart I would let HER know that there are far more COVID cases now than in 2020. WHERE is her germy snot rag she wore for 2 years straight. But no. Some may be cowards Sarahanne, but most were controlling trolls bent on bending the knee to their beloved authoritarian god.
I guess I just gave them “the look” and they just never f’d with me. I never hung out in public places either. I have dogs and a disabled husband so am pretty much a homebody.
One of my sisters tells me she ALSO got not one comment from anyone in public. Only her doctor. She believes it is her resting b*tch face. I think most people develop them when they age. Both my mom and this particular sister have had them all along and they can be scary. Haha. If you are reading this L please look the other way when you approach me. I'm sorry. Anyway Sarahanne, examine the reflection. You may have RBF (as my RBF sister calls it). My husband informs me that I have RBF when I am tired or have anything to drink. I should have walked around with a glass of wine in my hand in 2020. Everyone would have been more jolly.
Count yourself lucky that you avoided shamemonsters. Your dog - very cute and not at all RBF. Only rottweilers and bulldogs are capable of such things. My dog has a smile 24/7 Yes, even while sleeping. That's why she is allowed in the house AND is able to run a gambling parlor without anyone suspecting her.
I was never confronted either, other than one time when I had to take my mom to the hospital.
I was so unbelievably crabby when I had to go anywhere and the idiots were prancing around with their Covid Theater face diapers on, I’m sure my natural RBF was in full display.
At least my daughter says that’s the reason no one talks to me. She says when I’m thinking, it looks like I’m thinking about murdering someone. 😛
OMG that made me laugh. My sister says when she is listening to people they will stop and say, are you OK or are you mad? I have had a man tell me to smile as I was walking into the grocery. It got me so mad. I won't repeat here what I said. It was crude and rude. Which... made me smile. So mission accomplished old man! But my sister gets that all the time. She says she is used to it, but cannot paste a grin on for the sake of others because she feels like an idiot when she does it.
Lol. I love to laugh and joke around with others. I’m bad about starting enjoyable conversations with others everywhere I go. I rarely get in and out of a store quickly.
Actually as far as my having a resting b*tch face, my husband thinks I am beautiful, and even though I am older, men (albeit older ones) are still getting crushes on me.
I’m just not the kind of person one harasses though and I think it comes across. I also (usually) try to be kind and thoughtful to others and I think that also comes across.
Ha! I'm glad you knew I was horsing around a bit (not horsey, because he is a dumb*ss). Ladies with RBF can also be beautiful. My sister is definitely the beauty of the family. I will have to mention that it may not be her "I'm not in the mood for you" look that is keeping her safe. She has an uncanny ability to turn a non asset into one so I have to nip that in the bud immediately! Haha. Some things never change.
I love that your husband thinks you are beautiful and no doubt he is correct since he lays eyes on you every day. You are indeed a blessed lady! May you continue to be endowed with the cloak of "don't mess with her-ness". An underappreciated asset these days.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Full of yourself much?
I was harassed incessantly, as I never once wore a mask in stores. However, I don't get in their faces about being science deniers now.
I can cast a scornful look their way?
Absolutely! I’ve rolled my eyes at ‘em more than once.
It's a little weird that you mentioned "Americans should believe in freedom" when "freedoms" were trampled over the last 3 years. I don't think what she said was harassment at all. Way nicer than the mask nazi's from a few short years ago. If you were never harassed for not wearing a mask, then you're one of the lucky few.
I went the whole pandemic without wearing a mask. I tried one on for less than 2 minutes. No one ever harassed me. Besides, the cliché two wrongs don’t make a right is absolutely true.
How is politely informing someone the covid emergency is officially over and ending the conversation with "have a grear day" a "wrong" in your mind?
In her own words “ It's time to get in their face” If you think that approaching strangers and getting in their face is acceptable, than you’re no better than Maxine Waters. You just want to stir the pot, not have a conversation.
Quite the fouled mouth cray-cray biotch you are! 🤣🤣🤣🤪🤪🤪😂😂😂😂
Harassed? Many times. I was told I was walking in the wrong direction in one of the aisles at the Publix supermarket. They were arrowed in one direction only. That was to avoid people coming at you threateningly in the other direction. I had to back up and go down the other aisle! When I rebelled at pulling the mask over my nose (I like to breathe fresh air), not to mention my glasses fogging up all the time, I was constantly told to pull the mask up over my nose. People would avoid getting too close to me when I wasn’t wearing a mask. PUH-LEEZE. Live and let live, but in this case, they need a little of their own medicine.
I disagree. Now if you find the person that treated you badly, and you retaliate that’s not so bad. To harass an innocent person that’s never said or done an unkind word to you is just wrong.
Bullying? What wimps!
You go girl!
