We have a massive problem. We don't even have the capability to engage in a serious war. Our manufacturing capability is minimal. We don't even grow all of our own food. We cannot provide the essential basics needed to engage in a large scale war....which obviously means the people in DC are insane maniacs.

We need more flag 🇺🇸 hoisting frat boys out there. Seems like we’ve given all our weapons away to Ukraine and our military is overrun with LGBTQ+ wokeism. God help us.
Amen to that the remote sign in 2 hours with a latte, off in time to do whatever with a degree. Then those who don’t want to work, no value in having benefits living in a basement or the super spoiled full time students who never had a job in a check scarf. It’s not looking good.
Unfortunately, I'm 62. I'm too young to check out and too old to kick ass the way I'd like. Trying to figure out a strategy for the next few years. Living in Cali is probably not the best idea at this point...
I'm in the foothills/mountains of Northern California. It's sane up here. The looney, crime-ridden areas are the coastal cities and Sacramento. The North is pretty conservative, and most of the libs there are reasonable. I don't see the nuttiness where I live. That said, they're killing us all with taxes and more taxes.
Idk about being 62, sometimes I’ve seen people that age use their brains more than brawn to “open up a can” and leave the young scratching their heads at what just occurred. It’s not always about strength.😏
Ah, well, um….to coin an old phrase, either you is, or you ain’t. 😏 (had to think about that one…my best comebacks usually arrive under cover of darkness)🤣
I visited the Gulf side when I was 18. It was delightful in October. Warm, strong sun. I was in Orlando in July ~25 years ago - much less bearable. But I've also been in LA, Vegas and New Orleans in July (I did a lot of tradeshows back then). I think New Orleans was at least, if not more intense than Orlando... Not sure if I'm remembering that properly. Lots of sweat. But My body felt a lot cleaner at the end of the week - I sweated out a lot of toxins. I'm sure I smelled wonderful...
I have two 2012 vehicles - both manual transmissions and no GPS.
Took one of them in yesterday for state inspection and needed some $$$ work. So I asked to look at a 2024 model and was so turned off by it. Too many bells and whistles. Told the salesman it was a government tracking device.
A 30-something neighbor wandered over to tell me how much he liked my old F150. I was bragging on it, and he was all bright-eyed until I said, “stick shift.” Now I know what crestfallen looks like. Imagine his horror if I’d told him it doesn’t have a/c.
I used to have a 1984 Mazda truck, then a 1998 Mazda truck. The '98 was made on the same assembly line as the Ford Ranger at the old Ford plant in Edison, NJ. The Mazda had much nicer styling on the outside, but the inside was a Ford Ranger.
OTOH, I'm 72 and have actually felt sorry numerous times, for folks who can't find comfort to the tune of "oh well, my tour of duty here ends soon anyway, regardless of which way it goes."
If we applied the golden rule to international diplomacy, we’d reassert the Monroe Doctrine, clean up Mexico, and get out of Russia’s Ukrainian back yard.
Dude! This is the way. Isolationism has never looked so good.
Why are we involved in solving Israel, Palestinian, Ukrainian, Taiwanese problems when we have so many of our own? If we could fix our country, we might be able to see how to help others but right now we’re just infecting the world with our moral diseases
I didn’t mention abandoning and invading, so give the hyperbole a rest. Subtract the joyriders and bloodsuckers, and then tell me who’s our ally. We can secure our own borders, and we can incentive Mexico to be a good neighbor. We have no right to plant our CIA and weapons on Russia's border. When we do, we have no right to tell Russia how to respond.
Imagine, if you can, you and I sign this treaty: I’ll be a good neighbor if you are too. Then you and my creepy neighbor set up a ladder and spy on me over my fence. The treaty is void, and you voided it. Now, every time you play peeping Benn, I get to punch you in the face. If you keep peeping, I get to come into your yard, punch you in the face again, and destroy your ladder. If you’re stupid, you escalate, I keep responding, and no fair-minded person cares how much you cry and whine about your bloody nose and broken ladder.
I suppose you’re not out of foolishness, so knock yourself out and prove it. I grant you the last word.
Oh don’t worry. Most RX drugs dispensed in this country are minimally chemically sourced from India or china or outright made there. The va is just doing what everyone else is doing.
Can’t tell you how many times I’ve written to Casey. The replies are just south of stupid. First, the major part of any response from him is devoted to telling me the history of the issue which I already know and is germane to why I am writing him. Then he fails to answer the question. He’s often just looking into it.
Mao was asked by Russian ambassador ( at the time) Kosygin if he was afraid of atomic war. Mao responded by saying that it would only be 350 million casualties!
President Putin has shown unbelievable restraint and patience in the face of decades of U.S. provocations, but patience, like any other virtue. Is finite.
You have no idea. I listened to the Duran post about Putin's epic speech (posted earlier), and he said Obongo called Putin when the Maiden Square showdown started. Barry asked Putin to restrain those supporting Russia, and pledged he would do the same for those wanting EU ties. Putin agreed, and he talked them into pulling back. Obongo's Nazi's took the opportunity to move into the vacated government buildings, Barry supported it, and the rest was history. I never knew this, and Putin never talked about it before. Are their bigger liars on the planet than the USG is my question. ? Second question is why would Putin ever trust anything the USG says. ?
That hard fact should sober any of us who want to re-consider alliances with Russia. Russia's geopolitical and military strategies seem to be very much determined by the individual sitting in the big chair - much more so than is the case with the USA or any Euro nation. Putin projects sensibility, respect for Christianity, and a reasonable attitude. But he is alone in doing so, in the past century of Russian/USSR history.
It's a challenge, recognizing and calling out the evil-on-steroids personified by the WEF and our own dear neocons ... and the risk of an about-face in Russian global strategy that comes with Putin's successor.
They were mandated for some workers, but not the general population. Russia's COVID-19 vaccination was around 55 percent.. Russia’s COVID-19 vaccination (Sputnik V) rate was among the lowest in Europe. I'm not sure whether their product was as dangerous as the DOD's product manufactured by Pfizer and Moderna.
He mandated it for government workers and retail merchants, basically. But tell me about the Sputnik V vaccine. Do we know what it was? I'm no fan of vaccines, particularly after being threatened over them, but what exactly Russia using? The same vaccine was used in Mexico, India, and Brazil, I think. Can you tell me where to get the information about sudden deaths in those four countries as a result of the Russian vaccine?
I see Putin attends WEF stuff but is this out of solidarity, or from a desire to keep your enemies closer? I can't think of any world leader Putin has not met. He seems to get out more than Biden does.
I read his speech and saw nothing indicating he is a personal friend of the former WEF emcee. In fact, Putin's strategies for eliminating income disparities and giving people comfortable living conditions, a job with income growth, excellent health care, and a good education don't seem in line with "You will have nothing" in the dystopian future envisioned by Klaus Schwab.
If I have time I will try to find more info or what Austin Fitts said. If Putin weren't on team globalism he likely wouldn't be at the helm of a major player in global politics....
Putin's super proud of his and it was designed at the Russian gamalaya institute with help from Astra zeneca. The latest model is supposed to be programmable for various diseases.
Hey hey I live too close to DC and near his beach house! We can’t sound like the lib that hopes he takes out Florida! He’s failing but the old saying the devil doesn’t even want him!
Gotta say I'm a bit surprised. You used some restraint on that one. This week has had some strange crazy comments. Earlier it was Gary and Gram and today this chick. I don't think it's a full moon yet.
Maybe we all need to give Ann the “3N Ben” treatment…completely ignore her so she has no one who will interact with her so she won’t be able to spew her idiotic comments.
Ann, what you don’t yet realize is that the traitors reside in DC & suburbs: 1600 Pennsylvania Ave (& the beach in Delaware) , wherever JRB’s cabinet members reside, & the Dim side of Congress (& a substantial part of the RINO section).
Remember the oath ‘all enemies foreign & domestic.’
Oh and don’t get your panties in a wad, it is you domestic terrorists that started it with the ongoing coup/insurrection against POTUS DJT.
There was a very insightful article in The Free Press this week on this exact topic. Niall Ferguson argues that we are in a new Cold War, but this time WE are the Soviets:
WE are the ones with an unhealthy population, walking around stoned all the time, with a "dispensary" on every corner and Big Pharma pumping us full of poison.
WE have a military that appears mighty but is nothing but a cheap facade.
WE are governed by geriatric "leaders" who refuse to step aside to let a new generation take over.
WE have an economy that looks dominant but is built on sand.
China could flick us aside like a fly while barely lifting finger, any time they decide to, just as Reagan was able to reveal the "mighty" Soviet Union as a paper tiger. Depressing.
Remember it, like the Vatican and the Financial City of London, are NOT part of their respective countries which surround them. No one there should be allowed to vote.
I contacted both Pennsylvania Senators - Casey and Fetterman - requesting that the US seeks peace in the Ukraine war. And send no more $$$ of weapons when the US needs the money in this country.
Used the CodePink website to send it. I don't always agree with CodePink, but their letter was good.
The one thing, imo, that is keeping the US from being nuked is our abundant fertile land mass. Neither Putin, nor Xi, will risk contaminating the breadbasket of the world.
The Chernobyl fallout and the sunami-drowned reactor accident in Japan would pale in comparison.
They will find other ways to eliminate us. They may already have…
Get right with God. No one gets out of this life alive.
I spoke to a Canadian couple who stayed at the same hotel as myself. It was an overnight trip...they had to sleep in barracks-like sleeping conditions.
I thought "no thanks."
So, I just visited the small Chernobyl museum that was near the hotel.
Johnny-O, I've been thinking the same thing for a while. Unless we have some ultra-powerful alien-tech secret weapons ready to be trotted out of some Nevada desert bunker in an emergency, we're woefully unprepared for any major conflicts. We depend on some of the very countries we've alienated for our basic needs; they don't need to fire a missile at us - all they need to do is shut off the valve to the supply pipeline. This provoking and posing is empty and is destined to result in the rest of the world sanctioning US. These Washington neocon assholes don't give a rap about the U.S. They're all about profits and want to keep them rolling as long as possible. Then they will grab their go bag and hop on a plane to somewhere sunny when the shit hits the fan.
It's our job to make sure those planes never leave the runway. Remember the waiters in "Fight Club".
Yep, and it isn't cold war 1980 anymore either. Satellite technology enables Russia (and other "adversaries") to monitor essentially everything we do. The game has changed so very much and we are woefully unprepared for a 21st century battle against a formidable opponent....unless like you say we have some amazing top secret weapon waiting. But who says other countries don't as well, right? And this just happened, which was very underreported:
Most agree (at least on Jeff C’s substack) that Biden is a senile, corrupt, sock puppet installed President. The Globalists that operate our Federal Government, want to destroy America from within and with the help of outside enemies (CCP, Russia, Iran, etc.). The foreign policy blunders and catastrophes of the last 3 plus years, were a result of planned incompetence. I pray we can survive the chaos and destruction the Globalists have sown.
The crime Russia committed was identical to the Trump doctrine "Rational Nationalism " or the Government doing national policies that benefit the common man, not the psychologically damaged extreme minority, and international agreements that benefit all the nations involved.
That was the reason for the Russia Russia Russia attack on Trump. By keeping Trump and Russia from mutually beneficial solutions.
The one world Government folk are damaged goods, and they have already lost. It is only a question of how much damage they do on the way down. Unfortunately the one thing they Excell at is destruction.
Trump massacred Russian soldiers in Syria. He was not exactly going to be allies with them.
He even put an American armored brigade on russias border and built a permanent base in Poland and had Americans training Ukrainians on how to fight better.
The situation in Syria was very different. Trump showed he could work exceedingly well with many leaders of the world. including Rocket Man from North Korea. You have no idea what he may have negotiotiated with Putin. Trumps clear ability to see the view point of others, and understanding of the long Russian History in the Ukraine, would very likely have signed the peace deal the US sabatoged.
In June 2019, President Donald Trump ordered the movement of an additional 1,000 United States soldiers to Poland from Germany. Unlike the Fort Trump proposal, the transferred units would be based at existing Polish facilities.[8] The same month, Reuters reported that the U.S. military base proposal was dead after Polish and American officials could not agree on a funding arrangement, with Poland agreeing to contribute $2 billion to the project, less than requested by the Trump administration.[9]
Both the American and Polish governments denied the accuracy of the Reuters report, with Polish presidential aide Krzysztof Szczerski describing it as "fake news" and United States Ambassador to Poland Georgette Mosbacher tweeting, in response to the story, that Trump and Duda's "vision for increased US presence in Poland will be even greater than originally outlined".[10] A United States Department of State spokesperson later emailed Reuters saying that talks for a U.S. military base in Poland were proceeding on schedule.[10]
In August 2020, United States Secretary of State Mike Pompeo signed, on behalf of the United States, an agreement with Poland by which that nation would accept the redeployment of a further 5,500 American troops – including the forward command post of V Corps – with the potential for a 20,000-person surge capacity. According to BBC News, initial hopes were for the proposed military base to be the garrison of an entire division; the agreement "falls well short of this. But it sends a clear signal about Mr Trump's preferences" and that the concept "could be as much about politics as it is about strategy".
It started under Trump.
Also, my unit, the 278th armored, went to Poland and also Ukraine under Trump
We do not need to engage in a war with Russia over Ukraine. Make the fucking backroom like JFK did with the missiles in Cuba. OH I forgot we don’t have any one of that caliber in the WH now. FJB continues to be wrong on every foreign policy issue since he has been in politics
This quote from Jeff: “Finally, trust in the U.S. seems generally to have drained down to low tide.” is gold. Our allies, if they have one collective brain cell need to rethink their allegiances. The US gov has proven it cannot, and should not, be trusted.
I believe it is all being done intentionally to bring down America so that the world elites can have what they have been salivating over...a one world order! The US has been standing in the way of this for such a long time and now the evil in the white house is doing their dead-level best to complete this once and for all! And don't think for one minute that they will all be compensated handsomely!
Regarding Russia....
We have a massive problem. We don't even have the capability to engage in a serious war. Our manufacturing capability is minimal. We don't even grow all of our own food. We cannot provide the essential basics needed to engage in a large scale war....which obviously means the people in DC are insane maniacs.
Plus there's been 2 generations of the pussification of America.
Good luck having the last two generations protect us if our sovereignty was at stake.
We need more flag 🇺🇸 hoisting frat boys out there. Seems like we’ve given all our weapons away to Ukraine and our military is overrun with LGBTQ+ wokeism. God help us.
Yes, our military is in shambles...
What you mean Lloyd Austin sporting his double masks, visor and gloves isn't the embodiment of a brave leader?!
He's a murderer for forcing the covid DeathVax on active duty.
Trump made the weapon. They all share the blame
Speaking of....is he back in duty after his "mysterious" health scare?
i'm not sure, but he's a disgrace to all the brave folks that have ever served in the armed forces.
He spoke at the Naval Academy graduation in May
He has prostrate cancer, so not exactly
Mysterious
What caused it... That's the "mysterious" part.
I think it was pre existing. Prostate cancer existed pre Covid so who knows.
If he was having myo or something I’d believe it but even then those are mostly limited to younger folks for some reason.
We haven’t given away all of our weapons.
The most important ones we have are still here.
Amen to that the remote sign in 2 hours with a latte, off in time to do whatever with a degree. Then those who don’t want to work, no value in having benefits living in a basement or the super spoiled full time students who never had a job in a check scarf. It’s not looking good.
they need to touch grass...they're all flabby these days
LOL - is this the first the the P word was used in 2 different C&C comments?
So true and such a sad state of affairs.
I pray we have a revolution and change our course of action.
I'm 83 and a revolution is long overdue.
It ain't going away until the middle recognizes we're already in a revolution. We need a counter-revolution.
That starts by informing (easy just point out the idiocracy) the middle/normies that the revolution by The Left started, in earnest, 20 years ago.
me too, brother.
i'd rather be 52 when this shit goes down vs. 72.
LET'S GET ON WITH IT....it's inevitable
I agree, being 72.
Unfortunately, I'm 62. I'm too young to check out and too old to kick ass the way I'd like. Trying to figure out a strategy for the next few years. Living in Cali is probably not the best idea at this point...
There's probably not a nicer place in the country than most of California.
If it wasn't for the politics...
I'm in the foothills/mountains of Northern California. It's sane up here. The looney, crime-ridden areas are the coastal cities and Sacramento. The North is pretty conservative, and most of the libs there are reasonable. I don't see the nuttiness where I live. That said, they're killing us all with taxes and more taxes.
What I want is for DeSantis to come run California! Maybe all y'all can figure out how to clone him?
Desantis is unelectable in California. Besides, Florida needs him
Oceanside is absolutely gorgeous.
The problem is it’s in California.
I was born and raised in Oceanside. It was a wonderful place to grow up in the 60s and 70s but I left 20 years ago would never go back.
I miss oceanside...gosh that brings back memories!
I can attest I had to escape from there in May of 20
I escaped in 89.
Only been back for military. I love colimas in Oceanside
me too, Benjamin!
Idk about being 62, sometimes I’ve seen people that age use their brains more than brawn to “open up a can” and leave the young scratching their heads at what just occurred. It’s not always about strength.😏
spot on.
wisdom is a shortcut to results.
Yes, I'm trying to do my part on that front.
Thanks, Aaron!
hey man, we'd fight better than these softies from the last two generations. btw, i had to escape East Germany....er California in may of 20.
We just couldn't take it anymore. Absolutely no way I was going to allow my kids to be masked all day.....and surrounded in a spirit of fear.
There is more truth here, which means we need everyone that does not utilize the abominable phrase “I identify as….” On the front!
What if I identify as American? ; )
Ah, well, um….to coin an old phrase, either you is, or you ain’t. 😏 (had to think about that one…my best comebacks usually arrive under cover of darkness)🤣
I did the same. My kid finished highschool in fla and just finished freshman year FSU. No CA university. No way.
Good for you! We moved to Florida as well.
Best decision of our lives
How was the adjustment to the weather for you? And were you welcomed in Florida, of shunned because you were from Commiefornia?
Actually Florida is very chill on politics. Everyone o know down here voted for desantis...that's why he won by 20%. That's unheard of for a governor.
Everything has been great...except for the 3 months of oppressive heat/humidity.
The other thing is it takes awhile to get used to how flat it is.
Also the gulf side of state is considerably more red than the Atlantic side
Thanks for the report. I definitely lean toward Florida as a possible destination. I think I need to live near the ocean. I like the Caribbean..
I visited the Gulf side when I was 18. It was delightful in October. Warm, strong sun. I was in Orlando in July ~25 years ago - much less bearable. But I've also been in LA, Vegas and New Orleans in July (I did a lot of tradeshows back then). I think New Orleans was at least, if not more intense than Orlando... Not sure if I'm remembering that properly. Lots of sweat. But My body felt a lot cleaner at the end of the week - I sweated out a lot of toxins. I'm sure I smelled wonderful...
People’s republic of California. Barf.
The problem is California is such a huge market that the California bs bleeds over into other states. Look at gas cans and small engines, for example
The engine on my motorcycle is bigger than a lot of the cars in my area. And it's much more fun to drive!
In Japan the police have giant 1800CC Hondas that can actually tow small cars on dollies. I was blown away when I saw it.
The engine on my Victory is 1730cc. It's measured in inches, but I did the conversion...
The effing auto start/stop on cars fills me with rage....:(
I have two 2012 vehicles - both manual transmissions and no GPS.
Took one of them in yesterday for state inspection and needed some $$$ work. So I asked to look at a 2024 model and was so turned off by it. Too many bells and whistles. Told the salesman it was a government tracking device.
I just want a simple car.
We're just ungovernable Kathleen
I figure the only person who could steal my car would have to be a boomer because the youngsters can't drive a stick.
Lmao. That's the funniest thing I've heard all day...out of many funny things
A 30-something neighbor wandered over to tell me how much he liked my old F150. I was bragging on it, and he was all bright-eyed until I said, “stick shift.” Now I know what crestfallen looks like. Imagine his horror if I’d told him it doesn’t have a/c.
Hell, I'm driving a '96 Grand Cherokee (when I have to drive a car)!
5.2l v8 or the v6 4.0?
I have a 75 Dodge w300 with the 318, np435, and a 205 TC. I love it! Up on blocks at the moment for a lot of work.
Just the V6, Ben. Not 4WD, but it's still a tough vehicle. I've had it out on many dusty, bumpy backroads and it fared well.
Hang onto it...at least the feds aren't tracking you with it...
No. They have my cell phone for that...
I have an 07, 14, 75 Gaz, 75 Dodge, and a 94.
I love simple vehicles. The 94 is a B2300 which is a mazda but stupid simple to work on. Mechanics love it!
It's just gutless but will move almost anything I can put in the bed.
I used to have a 1984 Mazda truck, then a 1998 Mazda truck. The '98 was made on the same assembly line as the Ford Ranger at the old Ford plant in Edison, NJ. The Mazda had much nicer styling on the outside, but the inside was a Ford Ranger.
I’ve been a Toyota guy since the beginning. My first car was an 88 Toyota Corolla.
Our 94 Mazda has ford on the Bed liner. It’s comical.
It’s a farm truck for my wife to do typical Etsy housewife stuff like chickens, furniture, etc so it’s perfect.
That stop/start makes me lose my cool, literally. I had my only experience in rental units and has me scrambling to rebuild my 90’s models.
I hate it. My work car had it but you could disable it but it only lasted until you turned the car off and on again. You had to do it every time.
It’s a pain. Northern California is relatively conservative. It’s downstate that dominates because of San Diego and Los Angeles
OTOH, I'm 72 and have actually felt sorry numerous times, for folks who can't find comfort to the tune of "oh well, my tour of duty here ends soon anyway, regardless of which way it goes."
Appreciate your service and vigor!
Likewise. we need ya'lls wisdom
If we applied the golden rule to international diplomacy, we’d reassert the Monroe Doctrine, clean up Mexico, and get out of Russia’s Ukrainian back yard.
Dude! This is the way. Isolationism has never looked so good.
Why are we involved in solving Israel, Palestinian, Ukrainian, Taiwanese problems when we have so many of our own? If we could fix our country, we might be able to see how to help others but right now we’re just infecting the world with our moral diseases
Abandoning American allies is never a good proposition.
Russia doesn’t have the right to invade Ukraine. Neither does the USA have the right to invade Mexico.
US didn't have the right to invade Iraq or Afghanistan either.
Afghanistan absolutely.
Iraq, not so much.
Russia invaded Afghanistan too, as a reminder.
We don't have any right to invade any country.
When that country directly aided and abetted an attack, yes.
Yeah, 20 years in A-stan and the US surrendered.
Sounds like a plan.
Now do Russia 😉.
Ten years into the Ukraine experience and lost more men and equipment than the entirety of the 20 year gwot.
We should have invaded Israel then.
Israel is an ally, not a foe.
Israel did 9/11. Israel tried to sink a US battleship.
Israel controls our government and meddles in our elections.
Israel has more spies in the US than any other country.
They are not an ally. They are our puppet master.
I didn’t mention abandoning and invading, so give the hyperbole a rest. Subtract the joyriders and bloodsuckers, and then tell me who’s our ally. We can secure our own borders, and we can incentive Mexico to be a good neighbor. We have no right to plant our CIA and weapons on Russia's border. When we do, we have no right to tell Russia how to respond.
Except that's exactly what you want to do.
Russia is bound by treaty to respect Ukraine's borders. Have they done that?
Russia certainly hasn't been helping us at all.
We have every right to put our weapons where ever our friends and allies are in danger.
And as a reminder the larger Nato expansion in decades happened directly as a result of Russia's failed war to conquer Ukraine.
Assuming you know exactly what anyone wants is the mark of a fool. But you amuse me, so I’ll waste a few words on you. Treaties are two-way streets. Then this: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/25/world/europe/cia-ukraine-intelligence-russia-war.html. Remove the spin and the title is, “How Ukraine helps the CIA spy on Russia.”
Imagine, if you can, you and I sign this treaty: I’ll be a good neighbor if you are too. Then you and my creepy neighbor set up a ladder and spy on me over my fence. The treaty is void, and you voided it. Now, every time you play peeping Benn, I get to punch you in the face. If you keep peeping, I get to come into your yard, punch you in the face again, and destroy your ladder. If you’re stupid, you escalate, I keep responding, and no fair-minded person cares how much you cry and whine about your bloody nose and broken ladder.
I suppose you’re not out of foolishness, so knock yourself out and prove it. I grant you the last word.
The US was not part of Northern Mexico for many many decades. (Current borders) The analogy is not applicable to Russia Ukraine.
Amen
We don’t even make our own antibiotics. Al. China needs to do is stop sending us pills and they can reduce our population greatly.
I complained to Sen. Casey (D-PA) when the VA sent me blood pressure meds manufactured in China.
Sent me a "we are looking into it" word salad response.
Then, complete silence.
Whoever is doing Military and Veterans Affairs for Sen. Bob Casey, is a lazy bum.
Oh don’t worry. Most RX drugs dispensed in this country are minimally chemically sourced from India or china or outright made there. The va is just doing what everyone else is doing.
"giving veterans one more chance to die for their country"
I’ll take India over China
Yes.
Great job he has there. No accountability. Even at the ballot box. Creative writing at its lowest level. Give the man a leather medal. (Irish saying).
Sen. Casey is a nepo baby...ran for political office on daddy's coattails.
Can’t tell you how many times I’ve written to Casey. The replies are just south of stupid. First, the major part of any response from him is devoted to telling me the history of the issue which I already know and is germane to why I am writing him. Then he fails to answer the question. He’s often just looking into it.
Casey is so worthless.
Saving the good stuff for illegals.
Yes.
Plus Xi Ping would have no problem letting 200 mil of his own citizens die if he decided to go on offense
How many of us do you reckon the Yankee Government is prepared to lose?
as many as it took to protect the parasitical Plutocrats, I reckon
Or allowing Chinese immigrants to leave China and come invade the USA.
Mao was asked by Russian ambassador ( at the time) Kosygin if he was afraid of atomic war. Mao responded by saying that it would only be 350 million casualties!
I’ve had supply chain issues lately for compounding pharmacy. Scary. I’m sensitive to fillers. Dependent on my thyroid meds.
The DC Swamp doesn't care about the rest of us fools and will gladly serve us up to Putin's nukes.
Well, if Putin was smart, DC would be the first and only target.
President Putin has shown unbelievable restraint and patience in the face of decades of U.S. provocations, but patience, like any other virtue. Is finite.
Putin has shown unbelievable restraint. If something happens to him, and a real hardliner takes over, all bets are off in the restraint department.
You have no idea. I listened to the Duran post about Putin's epic speech (posted earlier), and he said Obongo called Putin when the Maiden Square showdown started. Barry asked Putin to restrain those supporting Russia, and pledged he would do the same for those wanting EU ties. Putin agreed, and he talked them into pulling back. Obongo's Nazi's took the opportunity to move into the vacated government buildings, Barry supported it, and the rest was history. I never knew this, and Putin never talked about it before. Are their bigger liars on the planet than the USG is my question. ? Second question is why would Putin ever trust anything the USG says. ?
No country should ever trust the USG again.
That hard fact should sober any of us who want to re-consider alliances with Russia. Russia's geopolitical and military strategies seem to be very much determined by the individual sitting in the big chair - much more so than is the case with the USA or any Euro nation. Putin projects sensibility, respect for Christianity, and a reasonable attitude. But he is alone in doing so, in the past century of Russian/USSR history.
It's a challenge, recognizing and calling out the evil-on-steroids personified by the WEF and our own dear neocons ... and the risk of an about-face in Russian global strategy that comes with Putin's successor.
I'd choose Putin over Biden any day. For one thing, Putin's more tolerant. And his administration has killed fewer people.
Agree.
So go get the Putin approved Covid shot.
He loves his programmable vaccines and mandated the Covid vaccine, FYI
They were mandated for some workers, but not the general population. Russia's COVID-19 vaccination was around 55 percent.. Russia’s COVID-19 vaccination (Sputnik V) rate was among the lowest in Europe. I'm not sure whether their product was as dangerous as the DOD's product manufactured by Pfizer and Moderna.
They were mandated for large sections of the population including the military. He’s a huge fan of it and has gotten it twice.
Ukraine had a vaccination rate of 44%, even less than Russia.
I think it’s dangerous and certainly not safe for anyone. There’s been tons of young Russians having cases of the “suddenlies” also, just like us
He mandated it for government workers and retail merchants, basically. But tell me about the Sputnik V vaccine. Do we know what it was? I'm no fan of vaccines, particularly after being threatened over them, but what exactly Russia using? The same vaccine was used in Mexico, India, and Brazil, I think. Can you tell me where to get the information about sudden deaths in those four countries as a result of the Russian vaccine?
Putin is going along with the WEF BS, according to Catherine Austin Fitts...
I heard the opposite -- that Putin does not want a global government in charge of "his" country.
He's been buddies with Klaus for decades:
https://www.eurasiareview.com/27012021-vladimir-putin-at-davos-online-forum-transcript/
I see Putin attends WEF stuff but is this out of solidarity, or from a desire to keep your enemies closer? I can't think of any world leader Putin has not met. He seems to get out more than Biden does.
I read his speech and saw nothing indicating he is a personal friend of the former WEF emcee. In fact, Putin's strategies for eliminating income disparities and giving people comfortable living conditions, a job with income growth, excellent health care, and a good education don't seem in line with "You will have nothing" in the dystopian future envisioned by Klaus Schwab.
If I have time I will try to find more info or what Austin Fitts said. If Putin weren't on team globalism he likely wouldn't be at the helm of a major player in global politics....
Not correct at all.
Putin is a massive fan of Covid vaccines and has mandated them and gotten them himself.
Like Biden, then? But are they the vaccines with the Moderna or Pfizer label on them that our DOD designed, commissioned, and financed?
They're both evil.
Putin's super proud of his and it was designed at the Russian gamalaya institute with help from Astra zeneca. The latest model is supposed to be programmable for various diseases.
None of them are safe.
Can you provide links supporting this opinion?
According to increased sudden, unexpected deaths Russia fares very well in comparison to the 80-90% shot-up countries.
https://edwardslavsquat.substack.com/p/russians-are-also-dying-suddenly
It's happening to everyone.
None of the covid shots are safe and even the ones from C&C's favorite covid vaccinator.
Yes, and people are beginning to be hard on him for being too restrained, because restraint also needs to be balanced with power/force. So....
Provocation?
Putin has been provoking 😂😂😂
Hey hey I live too close to DC and near his beach house! We can’t sound like the lib that hopes he takes out Florida! He’s failing but the old saying the devil doesn’t even want him!
... Followed by Davos and any other swanky Swiss resort hosting meetings of the WEF and/or the WHO.
Kathleen, hope you don't mind but I want to be a fly on the wall for this re Ann's comment. Have a feeling it will be a classic!
I responded.
Gotta say I'm a bit surprised. You used some restraint on that one. This week has had some strange crazy comments. Earlier it was Gary and Gram and today this chick. I don't think it's a full moon yet.
She is a nutcase...suspect that it is a troll.
Don't want to expend too much energy on trolls.
Maybe we all need to give Ann the “3N Ben” treatment…completely ignore her so she has no one who will interact with her so she won’t be able to spew her idiotic comments.
Good idea.
If Janoski were smart she'd be working on her treason defense.
Ann, what you don’t yet realize is that the traitors reside in DC & suburbs: 1600 Pennsylvania Ave (& the beach in Delaware) , wherever JRB’s cabinet members reside, & the Dim side of Congress (& a substantial part of the RINO section).
Remember the oath ‘all enemies foreign & domestic.’
Oh and don’t get your panties in a wad, it is you domestic terrorists that started it with the ongoing coup/insurrection against POTUS DJT.
So suck it, girlie.
Thank you Roger.
WTF is your problem?
And I'm not talking about her DC comment but about volunteering for undeclared wars - "AND PROUD TO SERVE IN THAT WAY!"
Ann, are you a current/ former member of the USA military (any of the forces)?
You are deranged.
Yeah ... maybe Kathleen should call Hunter's attorneys /s.
There was a very insightful article in The Free Press this week on this exact topic. Niall Ferguson argues that we are in a new Cold War, but this time WE are the Soviets:
WE are the ones with an unhealthy population, walking around stoned all the time, with a "dispensary" on every corner and Big Pharma pumping us full of poison.
WE have a military that appears mighty but is nothing but a cheap facade.
WE are governed by geriatric "leaders" who refuse to step aside to let a new generation take over.
WE have an economy that looks dominant but is built on sand.
China could flick us aside like a fly while barely lifting finger, any time they decide to, just as Reagan was able to reveal the "mighty" Soviet Union as a paper tiger. Depressing.

...and I won't miss them when the big one hits.
Worthless eaters.
We need to take dc back from the communists. They do not in any way represent the will of Americans. None.
I was stationed in that armpit for 8 years.
I hear the place has no resemblance to normal American life. At all.
Those folks truly live in a bubble. They have no connection whatsoever to how real Americans live and work.
It was like a bizarro world.
Remember it, like the Vatican and the Financial City of London, are NOT part of their respective countries which surround them. No one there should be allowed to vote.
I would love it if DC was treated the same.
None
I know. Anyone hear from Congress...Senate..?? Or..are they too busy collecting checks from lobbies..
I contacted both Pennsylvania Senators - Casey and Fetterman - requesting that the US seeks peace in the Ukraine war. And send no more $$$ of weapons when the US needs the money in this country.
Used the CodePink website to send it. I don't always agree with CodePink, but their letter was good.
No response from Casey or Fetterman.
The one thing, imo, that is keeping the US from being nuked is our abundant fertile land mass. Neither Putin, nor Xi, will risk contaminating the breadbasket of the world.
The Chernobyl fallout and the sunami-drowned reactor accident in Japan would pale in comparison.
They will find other ways to eliminate us. They may already have…
Get right with God. No one gets out of this life alive.
Good point.
I was actually in Kiev, Ukraine back in 2019.
There are actually tours that go to Chernobyl. Who would've thought it is now a tourist destination?
Just insane. That place will never be non-radioactive.
I know.
I spoke to a Canadian couple who stayed at the same hotel as myself. It was an overnight trip...they had to sleep in barracks-like sleeping conditions.
I thought "no thanks."
So, I just visited the small Chernobyl museum that was near the hotel.
Johnny-O, I've been thinking the same thing for a while. Unless we have some ultra-powerful alien-tech secret weapons ready to be trotted out of some Nevada desert bunker in an emergency, we're woefully unprepared for any major conflicts. We depend on some of the very countries we've alienated for our basic needs; they don't need to fire a missile at us - all they need to do is shut off the valve to the supply pipeline. This provoking and posing is empty and is destined to result in the rest of the world sanctioning US. These Washington neocon assholes don't give a rap about the U.S. They're all about profits and want to keep them rolling as long as possible. Then they will grab their go bag and hop on a plane to somewhere sunny when the shit hits the fan.
It's our job to make sure those planes never leave the runway. Remember the waiters in "Fight Club".
Yep, and it isn't cold war 1980 anymore either. Satellite technology enables Russia (and other "adversaries") to monitor essentially everything we do. The game has changed so very much and we are woefully unprepared for a 21st century battle against a formidable opponent....unless like you say we have some amazing top secret weapon waiting. But who says other countries don't as well, right? And this just happened, which was very underreported:
https://legitgov.org/index.php/2024/06/15/s-500-deployed-earlier-than-expected-posture-now-consistent-with-nuclear-first-strike/
How about we just clean our own house and get along with everyone else around the world. They just want the same as you and me.
Because that would disrupt the great holy transnational capital.
Most agree (at least on Jeff C’s substack) that Biden is a senile, corrupt, sock puppet installed President. The Globalists that operate our Federal Government, want to destroy America from within and with the help of outside enemies (CCP, Russia, Iran, etc.). The foreign policy blunders and catastrophes of the last 3 plus years, were a result of planned incompetence. I pray we can survive the chaos and destruction the Globalists have sown.
I think there should be PSA's about how to grow victory gardens. You never know what's around the corner.
I envision them flying drones in my backyard full of glyphosate.
Oh geez.
The crime Russia committed was identical to the Trump doctrine "Rational Nationalism " or the Government doing national policies that benefit the common man, not the psychologically damaged extreme minority, and international agreements that benefit all the nations involved.
That was the reason for the Russia Russia Russia attack on Trump. By keeping Trump and Russia from mutually beneficial solutions.
The one world Government folk are damaged goods, and they have already lost. It is only a question of how much damage they do on the way down. Unfortunately the one thing they Excell at is destruction.
And sadly, Trump went along with it, bombarding Russia with sanctions...
Trump massacred Russian soldiers in Syria. He was not exactly going to be allies with them.
He even put an American armored brigade on russias border and built a permanent base in Poland and had Americans training Ukrainians on how to fight better.
He called Putin out on his BS.
Poland is a part of NATO. We have had some military there for a long time. Yet Biden made the first permenent military base, not Trump.
https://notesfrompoland.com/2023/03/21/us-establishes-first-permanent-military-garrison-in-poland/
The situation in Syria was very different. Trump showed he could work exceedingly well with many leaders of the world. including Rocket Man from North Korea. You have no idea what he may have negotiotiated with Putin. Trumps clear ability to see the view point of others, and understanding of the long Russian History in the Ukraine, would very likely have signed the peace deal the US sabatoged.
That's not correct.
In June 2019, President Donald Trump ordered the movement of an additional 1,000 United States soldiers to Poland from Germany. Unlike the Fort Trump proposal, the transferred units would be based at existing Polish facilities.[8] The same month, Reuters reported that the U.S. military base proposal was dead after Polish and American officials could not agree on a funding arrangement, with Poland agreeing to contribute $2 billion to the project, less than requested by the Trump administration.[9]
Both the American and Polish governments denied the accuracy of the Reuters report, with Polish presidential aide Krzysztof Szczerski describing it as "fake news" and United States Ambassador to Poland Georgette Mosbacher tweeting, in response to the story, that Trump and Duda's "vision for increased US presence in Poland will be even greater than originally outlined".[10] A United States Department of State spokesperson later emailed Reuters saying that talks for a U.S. military base in Poland were proceeding on schedule.[10]
In August 2020, United States Secretary of State Mike Pompeo signed, on behalf of the United States, an agreement with Poland by which that nation would accept the redeployment of a further 5,500 American troops – including the forward command post of V Corps – with the potential for a 20,000-person surge capacity. According to BBC News, initial hopes were for the proposed military base to be the garrison of an entire division; the agreement "falls well short of this. But it sends a clear signal about Mr Trump's preferences" and that the concept "could be as much about politics as it is about strategy".
It started under Trump.
Also, my unit, the 278th armored, went to Poland and also Ukraine under Trump
https://www.tn.gov/military/news/2020/1/24/tennessee-guard-s-278th-completes-nato-mission-in-poland.html
See above...
Trump showed he could work with Putin by massacring his private neo-nazi army with apaches, m777s, Himars, and everything in between.

We do not need to engage in a war with Russia over Ukraine. Make the fucking backroom like JFK did with the missiles in Cuba. OH I forgot we don’t have any one of that caliber in the WH now. FJB continues to be wrong on every foreign policy issue since he has been in politics
We don't need to engage.
We just need to supply Ukraine with weapons..Russia is losing a lot of expensive equipment daily and men.
The only reason we are not in war yet is because of Putin.
IT IS....oh the irony
Concur.
The policymakers are sociopaths, not merely insane maniacs.
This quote from Jeff: “Finally, trust in the U.S. seems generally to have drained down to low tide.” is gold. Our allies, if they have one collective brain cell need to rethink their allegiances. The US gov has proven it cannot, and should not, be trusted.
If America followed the advice of this blog it would sink further and faster.
I believe it is all being done intentionally to bring down America so that the world elites can have what they have been salivating over...a one world order! The US has been standing in the way of this for such a long time and now the evil in the white house is doing their dead-level best to complete this once and for all! And don't think for one minute that they will all be compensated handsomely!
Oh I agree. However, this new world order nonsense has been talked about by politicians for decades, including Bush Sr.
There dream is done, broken.most of the world will not play their gloabalist games.
All by design.
