Trump-Epstein link resurfaces after House doc dump; NC slaying highlights Dem justice failures; media spin falters; Trump slams vaccines on Truth Social; unveils pro-Christian D.C. policies; more.
I read on line that the judge who continually released him owns the halfway house that he goes to before he goes back on the street! So she’s making $ off his continual releases!!
It is but it works until scrutinized. A few years back there were a couple of juvenile judges who owned (or profited from) private juvenile detention facility they sent kids to; turned out they were sending kids to be institutionalized there for very minor infractions.
Back in '93 or so the Commandant of the Coast Guard came to the air station I was stationed at and told us we were held to the standard of "The appearance of impropriety". If it doesn't look right, don't do it, "we don't want to see something looking bad on 60 Minutes".
Looking around I realize our leaders had/have a different standard to follow..
We learned at a young age that we were not to do anything that could be construed as evil - violating any of God's commandments or instructions for daily living - we were to "avoid even the appearance of evil". I would posit that any conflict of interest, or the appearance thereof, is to be avoided completely.
Some folks seem to see it as "conflict in favor of my interest" Yikes.
Accountability has to be a priority. It must be done under the law, and not under lawfare. That takes time. But it must be done. I for one want to encourage those responsible to keep going.
I guess if you can own several houses and claim you live in all of them.....all of the time.....anything is possible.....and if you're a Democrat, you can sit "on public transportation, [next to] a murderous maniac with multiple priors who’d recently been released without bail" without a care in the world.
I heard the exact same thing. So, she apparently has had a financial interest in releasing him. This woman needs to be investigated, not just with regard to this particular perpetrator, but every single case in which she released a prisoner needs to be investigated to see if she received some kind of financial benefit. If this is true, and that has yet to be proven, then she not only needs to be removed from her job and disbarred, she needs to be put in prison.
There is a comma in the sentence. The sentence continues with "and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs" (1 Tim 6:10 NASB)
I saw that too, and most elected politicians are in similar grifts. As sad as this is, if it starts waking up at least some of the dazed-masses it will at least serve some purpose.
As tor the retired Veterinary professor killed in Auburn Al last weekend, Alabama has the death penalty. I propose after this guy's trial the state should have a vet put him down the same way animals are put down; when no drugs are available. 😎
And how do they most likely spend their time at the Halfway House?
“Without manufacturing, that National Debt will grow as the tax base deteriorates and the joblessness pressures the government to spend more money on food stamps and rent help so people can eat Cheese Puffs while playing Call of Duty in a rent-free $3,000-a-month rental.” Don Surber 9/9
Seeing that photo, just before that evil lunatic murdered that innocent woman sitting on that train is a stark reminder why I EDC everywhere I go - you don't need to advertise by wearing it out in the open, you just need it available at an instant's notice to dispatch - with prejudice - scumbag's like the one that took her life. I urge every one to get something like a Ruger LCP in .380 with good critical defense ammunition - which you can easily carry hidden on your person, train on how to maintain it, how to deploy it- which means to empty your magazine on the SOB and reload, and how to properly respond after. Dont be a victim. Be strong and stand and defend those, like that woman, who did nothing and yet paid with her life.
And sadly, she was completely unaware of her surroundings, wearing earbuds, not paying attention. She was too trusting, and had fallen for the Black Lives Matter psyop it has been shown.
I’m not sure this is taught?!! I remember when I was learning to drive my mom said park under a light. Keep your doors locked (back before doors automatically locked) have your keys out and ready before leaving a building to walk to your car. Especially at night but make it a practice. Be mindful. Aware. All these simple safety measures have come in handy. Do parents not teach these things?
Sitting back to the wall would only be an option if the outside seat were available. However, the speed this guy got up and on top of her wouldn't have given but a second or two to react. Maybe enough to scream and get people's attention.
She had no qualms about sitting by him. She was concerned neither over his race nor toxic masculinity. IOW she was neither racist nor misandrist. What a beautiful soul.
Thought I read he got on and sat behind her. But people get on public transport and retreat into their little worlds oblivious to surroundings. I’ve probably done that myself.
He was seated when she got on and sat in the row in front of him. I think the lesson to be learned from this is that vigilance is required everywhere and at all times. She was so trusting.
Yes they showed in her apartment she had a BLM poster.
But in her defense she did everything a woman who looked like her should do in that present environment: she had her blonde hair tied back and not hanging out. She wore a cap, kept her head down and did not make eye contact. Still it wasn’t enough.
On the contrary, making eye contact is important. It's a challenge. Keeping your eyes down is submission. Clocking someone with your eyes is often enough to cause them to back down.
We need to be aware of everyone around us but making eye contact isn’t a good idea. It can draw the attention of a lunatic or aggressive guy who might otherwise not engage.
Female here also… It depends on the situation. I like to keep my eyes up and always looking around. It lets them know that I’m watching them! I call it putting on my Referee face…
My brother-in-law got attacked a couple of months ago on a Marta train in Atlanta… He had his headphones on, and was totally unaware until they hit him repeatedly… We will never know if it was a race thing or a gang related thing or some nut job. 😡 The police were no help even though they have the video. That is the second time he’s been attacked in downtown Atlanta. 😡😡😡
Female also. Survived NYC in the 80s, by myself as a bartender at night traveling home through some of the scariest circumstances imaginable. It's pretty simple. Looking down equals submission, Criminals read fear easily. I've traveled Europe and Mexico by myself without trouble--and I'm telling you you have to hold your head high, be aware at all times. You don't want to aggressively confront, no, but you do need to stand your ground.
Yes, she did many wise things except avoiding sketchy-looking people which, sadly, we've been indoctrinated to believe is racist. Would have been better to sit among a group of people that looked connected to normal social behavior.
I don’t think it’s fair to victim blame here. She has a right to safely get across town. We spend a great deal of money on security so she can. Sure no one can rely upon the police 100% of the time so we should all have situational awareness but situational awareness doesn’t always work. If he was hell bent on killing her -unless she was armed and trained her outcome wouldn’t have changed.
The judge and prosecutors failed her and his victims and should be held accountable.
It's not my intention to victim blame...quite the contrary. Of course everyone has the right to travel and not be killed but that's not reality. My comment and others listed in this thread are an attempt to raise awareness of all things we need to think about to reduce our chances of getting murdered like this poor young woman.
I question that account reporting that too because they use weak-sauce logic that it’s obvious the account is operated by a team because it “consistently remained inactive for exactly six hours each day, from 11 PM to 4 AM. This pattern suggests that an entire team is operating behind the account.” Uh no …. that pattern suggests a single person who sleeps each night operates thar account. 🤣 If that’s one of the primary tells then my account is operated by an entire team. Lmao. I go inactive every night about 11pm until 7am! When I see this kind of convoluted logic it’s a red flag that the accuser is also a targeting account/team. I don’t trust either.
Ok, again I’m going off on a tangent!!!!! I’m currently on a cruise in Norway. Beautiful, awesome and majestic…the ‘French’ tour guy today mentioned that Norway is very safe! One can leave their purse and phone on the bar/table and leave for sometime and come back and it’s still there…then talking to a sales person …and he too from France….he said he fled France because of how unsafe it is, he even mentioned ‘no one’ locks their door! Wake up America!!!!!!
Nancy - Interesting. I have a second cousin who married and moved to Norway, she likes it there. I watch a cooking show called NewScanCook that is based in Norway, and they have shown so many of the various geographic regions, the cruise ships, the fishing, the farms, seems like a beautiful country and good people. France, the UK, Germany and Sweden on the other hand have suffered greatly at the hands of the invading migrants, of a different religion, who do not assimilate and whose allegiance is to a false deity. The natives in those countries are just now realizing that they must rise up en masse and say no to the globalist agenda. In France Macron is on the way out.
Pretty much ate only on ship….nummy…but just their trinkets to take home are everywhere…but, they fish and export, have not been disappointed…chocolates too!
When new employees made their first (international) trip, I told them to walk with a purpose and keep your head on a swivel. No badee badah gawking at the sites.
She had a BLM poster in her apartment. She had a liberal mindset, she didn't think she had anything to fear riding the transit. She was wrong. But that feral animal should never have been loose to commit a crime.
Sadly, because she was so unaware of her surroundings no firearm would have saved her.
I think it likely that Ukraine, in spite of the war, does not have the daily personal threats from a feral underclass that she unknowingly faced in North Carolina.
I dont know, maybe, depends on how quickly one (not her) might react to the situation, meaning trained and ready.
And the other thing to consider is if enough people carry and stop this kind of crap, the criminals will be less willing to do something stupid. "Gun free zones" created by the anti-gun loons are a big part of the problem.
OK this is hard to say. I Legally carry in my state and I'm trained. Even if I couldn't line up on this POS prior to the stabbing, he would NEVER have left the bus alive. And nobody would have to deal with his issues, his trial and incarceration etc. ever again. Just the coroner.
I haven't seen evidence of anyone even noticing the stabbing incident on the transportation line. Just one guy who ran away - did she yell? Looks like the commotion would've caught someone's attention even out of the corner of their eye.
I believe any area marked "gun free zone" should be accepting liability for anyone's safety in that area and anything which happens in that area.
You don't want me able to protect myself? Then you had better be on top of things! Movie theaters? Liable. Schools? Liable. Government buildings? Liable. (but good luck getting them to pay) Store? Liable. Malls? Liable.
Even if she had an armed cop sitting next to her, she would have been killed in this demonic, ruthless style of attack. Will certainly make me think twice before sitting with my back to someone.
I agree with Dan, we need people riding the buses and the trains and the subways that are willing and capable to defend people from the violent ones that walk among us. People that are there and aware of what’s going on around them that would’ve stopped that man’s life as soon as he pulled that knife.
Or….zero tolerance policies which jail thugs for a first crime & jail them longer for a 2nd, would create a society where the % who are violent are either IN jail or fear harsh sentencing.
Very good idea Astragale, and then life in prison with no parole for the third serious criminal offense, or perhaps, we should seriously consider that 50 cent solution, since someone like that seems to be irredeemable
… I know that may seem to be harsh on some of these criminals, but we’ve got to put them out of our misery
The death penalty isn't about us, or the criminal. It's about God. He is so offended by the murder of one of His special creations, that He demands the life of the murderer. In the Old testament, even animals who kill a human must forfeit their life. That's how much we mean to Him.
Another thing i noticed about this victim is she's sitting there seemingly oblivious to her surroundings. She appears to have on headphones and is looking at her cell phone. You should be able to relax and simply sit in a train minding you own business but sadly we need to be aware of our surroundings and potential danger. Maybe it would have helped. Mayne not. The murder of this young woman simply going about her day until this savage takes her life is heartbreaking and infuriating at the same time.
I suppose it is an option, but at that point, Im not really just interested in maybe incapacitating the SOB, maybe not, depending on how drug influenced he is. I also see byrna as an attack on our 2nd Amendment since it is not a real gun - think that through. But to each his own... and you will probably end up meeting the SOB in a court room too.
Its not murder, it is self defense and the defense of others. I will take that in front of the Good Lord and I do not think He will condemn for defending someone else's life. I mean, He's the one that gave us the 2A, not the freakin gov...
Big difference between murder & self defense. Bible says do not murder. Though I understand some individuals cannot stomach using our 2A right. Byrna is a good choice.
Where did the Lord impart the 2nd Amendment? What book and verse, please. Also, the 2nd Amendment is codified by the government. I believe your statement to be factually incorrect. Finally, self defense can become murder in excess. As you judge, so shall you also be judged. Sure, it sounds good to gun someone down in self defense or defense of others, but be prepared to be tied up legally for a while.
That's not true. From a web search, "No States outright ban the concealed carry of firearms; concealed carry is legal in all 50 states, although regulations vary significantly by state. While some states have more restrictive concealed carry laws than others, and you cannot lawfully carry in all 50 states without encountering some restrictions, a complete ban does not exist."
Some make you get a CC Permit. It pays to know what the rules are in your state for sure. Here in Arizona we have constitutional carry, meaning we can carry without a permit. Most states are "Shall-issue" states meaning they will issue a permit to carry a concealed weapon if the applicant meets the states requirements. Some states have discretionary issue where issuing a permit is up to the discretion of a law enforcement official.
Its probably not surprising that the gun grabbing lunatics in NY, NJ, MA, and HI have the most restrictive laws. I would not live in any of them, ever.
For more info, please see: hjttps://www.NRAILA.ORG/get-the-facts/right-to-carry-and-concealed-carry/
I just personally see more problems with the "Byrna" option and I sure dont like the threat it creates to have lethal firearms, which I am guaranteed because of the 2A. But that's me.
You may also want to read SCOTUS' Heller decision.
He's already had what I call the "Byrna Effect"., which is les than lethal. 14 trips to the court 14 easy outs. Thats the Bryna effect in action, almost doing enough to stop the madness.
I AGREE WITH YOUR PREMISE AND I DO THE VERY SAME!! The issue is in that city., if you are a white "person" and you killed a "black" man in the commission of a murder, you would be held for charges to be developed down the line.RE: Daniel Penny. Stay strapped!
I have a Smith & Wesson 38 special but it kills my hands to practice. I need a gun that I don’t have to soak my hand and ice for two days after I go to a practice shoot.
Try the .380 LCP or something like it, the kick is minimal, meaning easier to keep on target too, while avoiding shock to your hands. And again, with good critical defense ammo, like Fed HST, you will stop the SOB and you wont meet him in a courtroom either. Both good outcomes from my view.
I also carry an SA XCP in .45 ACP. Slightly bigger, still imminently concealable. And with critical defense +p ammo, it will stop anyone, but it comes with much more kick too. So technique is critical.
Take a look at byrna.com No permit needed. It is a big deal to discharge a firearm. Injuring or killing a human is more than life changing. What you want is to defend yourself.
I'm a former LEO- female. I'll guarantee you that if you pull a gun on me you will hesitate and I'll snatch it from you. A bad guy will use it on you. Many police are shot with their own guns. I have a couple of these, but like the CL in ORANGE for most. Orange tells the police it is non- lethal. Non-lethal does not mean "no injury."
The key is to not pull a gun ever, unless you are trained and ready to immediately and accurately deploy it to save your life or someone else's life. If you pull it out and aim it and don't fire it, you have a great chance someone else will shoot you or take it from you.
You can go to a range and rent their pistols, see what works for you. It’s not just how hard it is to pull the trigger and control the recoil, but can you rack it? With my arthritic hands, the S&W M&P EZ .380 is a good fit but then you still have to find a way to carry concealed which can be a challenge especially if petite/slim. Layered, patterned tops help.
It is important to remind people that a bullet can travel some distance and go through several layers of drywall so be aware of what is behind the target before shooting.
I have the LCP 2 among other semi auto pistols. Size wise it's is the easiest to carry. Small little gun but for some reason I'm really accurate with it.
I disagree. .380 has more of a kick than a larger pistol. I have a .380 and chose to go with a larger caliber because the smaller hurt my hand more. I am a female.
Sorry , but every time I keep seeing .380 referenced, I think of my daughter. She used my Sig Sauer .380 auto concealed on the roof of a counter top level bread cabinet. I must have told her it was there when she dog sat for us for a trip to the Caribbean , because the only way you could see it was to kneel on the floor. And yeah, it is deadly loaded with hollow points.
She blew her brains out. That's an image you cannot unsee. Our only child. Rockefeller Frankenstein proven by the autopsy to have given her Effexor, Clonazapam, Vibryd, Gabapenton, and Lomotragen, all "anti' depressants " with depression and suicide as side effects. "Callers don't jump. Jumpers don't call". I'm here to tell you "horseshit".
I never advise non- combat trained people to "get a gun." I can promise you that if the average person pulls a gun on me, I can snatch it from them and use it on them.
I don’t disagree, but my advise is get a gun, learn how to use it and train in tactical situations, and if you deploy it, use it. Everyone needs to make the decision to be a victim or be able to protect yourself in a life and death situation. The police ALWAYS arrive way too late.
You might snatch it from an untrained person but you wouldn’t be able to snatch it from me. We’d definitely be in a gun fight. But then I don’t think you and I are the type of people who would do what that animal did to that innocent woman, either.
I know about the police arriving afterwards. I was the police. It's just a lucky break to be in the right place.
Most civilians are just not capable of pulling that trigger. Their hesitation gets it taken away. Many police are shot with their own gun.
Everyone is at some point in a position to be caught off guard.
I covered thousands of cases of innocent people becoming victims of horrible crimes. HORRIBLE. This one wasn't even close to the worst. So, I'm a tad clinical about such things.
And, I'm not male. I still like a byrna launcher. It covers the grey area up to the "kill" decision. I carry both. It's a wonderful defensive tool.
Yeah, and my plan is to carry and be ready, and not be a victim, and not get punched in the mouth either. And to not take a knife to a gun fight! I was in the Army for 34 years and used firearms of many types.
My hands aren't terribly strong and I have a9 mm S&W "Equalizer" with a laser dot for aiming.(Once you learn how to use it, it's too much fun!) I do have to focus to be sure my hands are firmly gripping it, but I like the gun. Please note: I'm a total newbie to guns and may not be the one to give advice!
Thank you for spreading the word. In reading the thread here, all I see are a bunch of civilians who have never been in a gunfight, worked the streets, handled a bunch of shootings- and think it is glamorous.
You shoot a human and your life is forever changed. You make a mistake and you will be on the wrong side of the bars.
What you want is to defend yourself and run away. This goes for both men and women. I happen to be the latter.
I carried a weapon 24/7 for 27 years. my S&W 38 special wrecks my hand every time and I've had it since 1976. It was my duty weapon when I was a Robbery detective. I practiced with something more substantial
I tell everyone who isn't combat oriented to get a Byrna.com CL. It's their new model and is ideal as a defensive weapon. Take a look at their videos. I have 2 of them only because the CL was not out when I bought my first one.
Watching the whole thing, even if she did pack, she stood no chance. But anyone who does pack is aware of their surroundings and would have been sitting with their back to the wall. Whether it be a knife in my bra or a nug handy, I always sit with with my back to a wall. Unless Hubs is with me. Then he has that seat.
Watch the Tucker Carlson interview with Dr. Moore and how the FBI and judges made his life absolute hell for not injecting his patients with the Covid jab. What they did to Dr. Michael Kirk Moore was beyond foul. Here are some of the names of disgust that caused him to be jailed twice in solitary confinement and wanted to punish him for not following what he was told. They sought to ruin Dr. Moore in every way possible. They wanted to put him away for 35 years. You will not believe this happened in the US.
REMEMBER THESE FOUL NAMES-they are NOT on our side
Todd Bouton-Federal Prosecutor in Utah and a really disgusting entity-1st POS
Jacob Strain- Senior Prosecutor Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Utah Another POS
Judge Jared Bennett-3rd POS
Why have the first two not be fired and still work for the DOJ????? Bondi needs to fire them now.
Perhaps she was unaware. I had never heard of him until it all broke. How many have heard of Dr Scott Jensen, who was vilified in Minnesota simply for questioning deaths being put out by the hospitals during the early stages of the covid lockdowns. He had to fight continuously to keep his practice. The media doesn’t talk about these things. Once again if any mainstream media had bothered to do some investigative journalism, how different would our world be today.
Dave, you won't believe what they did to this good doc. God had a hand in his victory for sure. It is just unbelievable that this happened here. And Dr. Moore says it had nothing to do with justice but for the FBI to be right and to punish. They raided his house without warning too.
Hmmm. Tim Cook was at that White House dinner for tech oligarchs several days ago. Maybe someone ought to tell Trump about what he is up to with The Savant.
Movies and TV series take years to make. This got green lighted during Biden, before the vibe shifted. We’ll probably have another year of woke crap before we see Hollywood do better.
Can you elaborate? I'd like to learn more. It was unnerving that, once again, djt is mingling with scum (the company one keeps?). And, Melania calling for more AI surveillance/Governance "for our safety" BS.
Also, I think Trump subscribes to the "keep your friends close and your enemies closer" school of thought on dealing with other powerful people. Politics involves constantly mingling with scum.
I know a lot of people who wear glucose monitors and others who wear smart watches to monitor their heart function. Other people I know have been tracking their number of steps for 20 years. I am as paranoid as the next person, but I really don't have a problem with that, and if you think they are all sheeple, you have never watched anyone collapse into a diabetic coma or die from a sudden heart attack.
And I get tired of Republicans using that word, too. We should use the right words ALL THE TIME. Constitutional Republic. Or we will lose it just like Ben Franklin said. (Well. ‘If we can keep it.’ Which I fear we can’t ….)
You know, the only reason this is covered anywhere at all is the video. There have been about a half dozen other similar murders in the last year or so and none of them ignited a media or social media firestorm. No notice at all.
The video made it so obvious how innocent and helpless she was and how vicious he was that it couldn’t help but get attention.
The media is accustomed to being able to suppress stories like this because we don’t generally have video.
Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Judges and magistrates doing this, knowing the history of the criminal, should be held as accessories to the crime committed.
Asst AG Harmeet Dillon announced on Benny Johnson’s show that her office WIlLL investigate prosecutors who are racist in what they prosecute and don’t prosecute. I will nominate they look into judges Pokorny and Donovan of Lawrence, KS.
These same judges are the ones who should be held accountable for their gross misjudgment of these felons, allowing them again and again to break our laws and commit horrendous deeds.
Happy with Trump's concern for Christianity but would like to see Ben Carson in Trump's cabinet. I don't trust all his cabinet members nor several of his advisors. Also would like to see General Flynn close to Trump's ear.
Ben Carson is a joke. Yesterday I got an email from Lindsey Graham announcing Carson's endorsement for Graham to be reelected. Carson's a stooge I guess.
Apparently Graham is a useful tool for the cause. Trump also supports him.
Jeff C. recently wrote about this support for the less than sterling who are very electable over seemingly better candidates, who have little chance of winning. Holding the seats in Congress are vital.
This is a good place to thank the Lord for all the pro Christian policies Trump is putting in place and encouraging. Prayers and encouragement for our president on his faith walk.
I am reading a book titled, "The American Story, The Beginnings" by David Barton and Tim Barton. It is an excellent resource if you really want to know the truth about how our country was founded... on Christian principles. And on page 205 of this book it states this, "As a matter of civil policy, it matters not whether my neighbor is an atheist or unbeliever. If he governs his behavior by basic Biblical values such as those found in the Ten Commandments - that is, if he refrains from killing me, stealing my property, or taking my spouse - he can make a good neighbor and, for that matter, a good citizen even if he is an atheist."
"The same is true with other Biblical standards and teachings such as the Golden Rule and the parable of the Good Samaritan. Living by such teachings uplifts and civilized a people and their society."
The first English colonists were indeed Christians, but I defy anyone to find a statue of Jesus in any public area of Washington D.C. Instead, D.C. is decorated with every false god and Freemason symbol one can think of (Isis, Mars, Poseidon-Neptune, Minerva-Athena-Columbia, Mercury, Vulcan, Ceres, et al). So, while the true settlers of America were people of faith, most of our political leaders have been occultists of one type or another. This is why the tallest obelisk (phallic symbol) in the world stands in Washington, D.C., the George Washington Monument. A giant middle finger, flipping off YHWH.
Most Christians don't even obey the 3rd or 4th commandments. They falsify YHWH's name and don't honor YHWH's day, the Sabbath. The MAIN reason for this is that the Christian Bible has been severely paganized. Christians need to get back to the SCRIPTURES, translated by the Scripture Research Institute in S. Africa. fossilisedcustoms.com.
I have always said that I do not care if you are religious or not, as long as you follow the 10 commandments and the Golden Rule. The world would be a better place for all.
Oh my gosh, that'd be amazing. You can imagine after yesterday's tragedy I want to be armed with as much knowledge as possible to honor his legacy. I just feel gutted for him.
David Barton was a favorite among homeschoolers in the ‘90’s when it was just taking off. Very knowledgeable man. He has researched and found the truth rather than the accepted or distorted history.
Trump teaches his top executives how to avoid being blackmailed, but he supposedly wrote and drew that note? That’s less believable than Jussie Smollett’s “lynching.”
"The reason Iryna died is that Democrats turned Decarlos Brown into a murderous thug using lifelong psychological programming."
Sounds a lot like the whole trans thing and all the mass murders they have committed. Tell people over and over you are a victim and hated and you get a terrible response.
Please everyone, let's not forget that as far back as the 70s, there was an effort to split up the black family..and since then, black women have been having babies without husbands and fathers.
"The World Order sets up countless groups to promote any type of idea, and then sets up other groups to fanatically oppose them, but the masters have no dedication to anything except slavery."
My word, just when you think we've scraped the bottom of this filthy blue barrel....
Demented monsters like these must be exterminated poste haste. There is NO other option. There is no rehabilitation program for the certifiably deranged. No, we must release them from their infirmities. While we're at it, we could throw a few judges into the mix. BOGO.
I'm quite literally nauseous. Teach your kids about situational awareness. My parting words to my daughter as she heads out into the world are: "Head on a swivel, right?" "Got it, dad."
Position yourself in the back when on public transport where no one can come from behind so you have eyes on everyone in front of you. Conceal and carry.
If I'm in a restaurant I try to always have an eye on the door, preferably seated in the back (Not always, depends on the venue), outside aisle seat. Windows are a bonus. I’m always loaded for bear. I don't like it, but unfortunately, in a world gone mad, it has become a necessity. It at least gives me a fighting chance.
There is a little 40 page booklet, "Principles of Personal Defense" by Jeff Cooper that one can find on Amazon used for about $30+. This booklet was given to me as part of a week long "combat handgun" course I took in 1980 at Jeff Cooper's Gunsite school. Col. Cooper is considered the father of the modern combat handgun technique. This booklet teaches Cooper's seven principles of self defense and the four conditions of one's mind set. Makes a great gift for a young person.
That's me. In choosing a table, if there are people in the group who do not know me, I always say I want a corner table and a seat against the wall. If they ask why, I tell them I grew up in a mob family. Not true, but good for a laugh. Also not too far off as I'm claustrophobic. I want to see the exits.
From the video, concealed carry would have been no help in this murder. The guy struck from behind in moves that took only a few seconds. Even a bystander, who saw him move and had a weapon, or maybe martial arts training, would have been challenged to react fast enough. Martial arts training might have given anyone trying to stop him half a chance. But situational awareness always, yes.
I don’t want to get stuck with a wall behind me either, though…I think I will walk or drive and avoid public transportation myself. One definitely needs to pay attention to all surroundings at all times these days. Just think of the guys who have driven into crowded streets and onto sidewalks. We live in crazy town world these days.
Sometimes I daydream and wonder if all those that were/are evil had chosen to put their energies into what is Godly and good, imagine what a world we would have and how God would have smiled. Heavy sigh.
I'm grateful that I woke up to vaccine's toxicity in 2020. I used to get the flu vaccine every year for probably 7 years. My husband refused to get it, and I thought he was so silly. Now who's the silly one? No shingles, pneumonia, flu vaccines for me.
My son is an OR Tech and gets the flu shot every year. Within two weeks he gets a flu so serious that he’s afraid he’s gonna die, literally die. I explained to him the idea of the ‘ratio of correlation’ and yet he stubbornly refuses to see that he gets the flu within two weeks every year without fail After receiving the flu vaccine at the hospital. He’s an intelligent man and has to be in order to be an OR tech and he’s very good at his job. The surgeons request him for their operations. And yet somehow his brain has been washed to the point of
…I can’t even think of a word to describe the stubborn ignorance (lack of knowledge, not stupidity)
I’m not sure that they do Deborah, but, I am sure that he insists on getting the shots every year, plus he’s taking all of his ‘common cold’ vaccines as well,
…voluntarily, and with a stubborn look right at me when he tells me he’s gonna get ‘em
A friend of mine, who is an RN nurse practitioner, complained to me that she felt ill for three days after getting the RSV vaccine, flu shot and covid booster all on the same day at the same time last week. Wanting to avoid conflict, I bit my tongue and merely told her how sorry I was.
It's such a touchy issue. I have a friend who was forced to be vaccinated (or be fired). Another who was ostracized by her family if she didn't get the jab. Both are worried. I don't want to make their lives more difficult, so I tend to skirt the issue. I hope both will be well.
I am just devastated over this. Both these people are among my favorite people! One has had a series of health problems. At first she found excuses, but she recently connected it to the jab. And all her kids and grandkids are jabbed. People aren't nearly mad enough about this.
She is lucky she did not have a stroke. Many warnings last year about the possibility of stroke for older people that received multiple shots at the same time.
That happened to a cat I owned years ago. Vet gave 4 vaxes on the same day. Cat had a major stroke on the way home. Since most vaxes are given to rats, I have to think the cat situation also applies to humans.
Amazing, isn't it? And they have the nerve to give very young babies six shots at a time. How would we all feel if we got six shots at once? We'd feel like crap. Why do they think babies can handle it better?
I agree, alcohol is a germ killer. When we lived in San Diego my hubby and I would visit Tijuana regularly. We would go to a bar, have a shot or two of tequila, then go out on the street and buy food from the street vendors, fruit and cucumbers sprinkled with chili powder and lots of tacos with questionable meat. We would then go to another bar for another shot or two, never got sick.
I was similar, though had largely stopped the flu shots after seeing so much data about it being a "best guess" and not really working all that well (or negatively).
For the mRNA shots, I was in the "wait and see" camp. If they'd worked as advertised, I'd likely have gotten one. Then the insanely heavy push to get a shot in every arm started, we saw that those who had the shots still got sick or sicker, they still transmitted the virus, and ... why are we giving these shots for a virus with a 99%+ survival rate? (But don't you dare _say_ any of those things....)
I was talking to my neighbor yesterday, 60's, Navy vet, Trump supporter, and he told me how he STILL gets every booster and yearly flu shots! My jaw dropped. He said nothing bad has ever happened to me so I don't see why not. Meanwhile his wife, a nurse, was vax injured after her 2nd jab so she won't get boosters. It is simply shocking that some ppl seem awake, yet are still sheeple.
What I dont understand is why get a covid booster when the shots were proven ineffective? Even their King Biden admitted as such when he said, on tv, that he told the pharmaceutical companies to work on a better shot that actually works.
My husband was the same and I am the MD. So glad i woke up in the knick of time. I got a Shingles vaccine in 2019 and my joints hurt for days. Needless to say, I didnt get the second. I started to look at vaccine issues and then 2020 happened. Holy crap....ignorance is bliss.
I hear you Jeanne, The pressure is on in my community 😣 it is “get your Flu shot” and everything else that goes with it. I cut and paste this FB post to here, because I disagree with the Guilt it puts on those who decide NOT to get the shots…
HOW does one respond to this????????
I will not get the shots, but the family/community is pushing….
And here is, a “friend” who put this on Facebook. Another guilt pusher.
Here is what she wrote:
“The flu shot isn’t about you. And Read that again.
I said this last night and I’ll say it louder today: the flu shot is bigger than you.
Influenza isn’t “just a bad cold.” It’s a severe respiratory illness. I’ve had it — it’s brutal. High fevers. Every bone aching. Gasping for breath like you’ll never catch it. And yes, it can kill.
You don’t just get the shot for yourself. You get it for:
👵 The grandparents whose bodies can’t fight like they used to.
🌸 The mom of 3 going through chemo with zero immune system.
👶 The newborn too fragile to fight infections.
💉 The nurses + doctors who need to stay healthy so they can take care of you.
💊 The 50-year-old on meds that weaken his immunity.
🤰 The pregnant mama finally carrying her miracle baby.
👨👦 The single dad who can’t afford another sick day.
🎈 The 7-year-old boy who just wants to play but is high-risk.
❤️ The 30-year-old with HIV whose immune system is already fighting battles.
The flu shot is NOT always about you.
It’s about the people around you — the ones who can’t protect themselves.
I’ve sat in the room as someone took their last breath from influenza.
I’ve seen patients struggling for air.
I’ve done everything I could — warm blankets, Tylenol, nebulizers — just to keep them comfortable as this virus ravaged their body.
Herd immunity is real. Influenza kills. Getting the flu shot should be non-negotiable.
This is a psyop. They're trying to manipulate through guilt. Don't buy in. We couldn't see our two grandkids for a year and a half because we wouldn't get the jab.
If they feel that strongly, nothing will change their mind. I caught the flu last September when our family went to visit family in Alaska. Six of the 8 of us got it. The youngest slept 24 hours and was fine. I had the worst case. Went to the ER when we returned home. There we learned that they had seen lots of the flu in the months of July and August. They asked when I was vaccinated. I told them I don't take vaccines. Apparently, all the patients they were seeing with the flu had been vaccinated. Hum ...
Flu shot efficacy after the fact showing abysmal. Last years flu shot apparently had negative effectiveness in many age groups including children. There are studies that clearly cite that. But those that are indoctrinated with lies believe lies.
A lot of what's going on now and in the past 5 years reminds me of the 90s. The Rodney King beating, ensuing riots, OJ acquittal in 1995, and the 1994 Crime Bill.
I heard a Democrat pundit complaining yesterday that the 'Right' is focusing on the Charlotte story because of racism, and then she proceeded to talk about bus seating discrimination during segregation and the decades of "chattel slavery"... Are you all sick of this sort of rationalization yet?
"The World Order sets up countless groups to promote any type of idea, and then sets up other groups to fanatically oppose them, but the masters have no dedication to anything except slavery."
In 2022, I was accused of being a "racist" because I wouldn't exempt a student from my writing course. The work that the student submitted did not meet the objectives. Not even close.
I was subjected to a trial, told I had to "prove" I wasn't "racist." When I asked what evidence the student supplied that I was "racist," the HR Biddy responded: "SHE doesn't have to provide evidence. ALL THAT MATTERS IS THE WAY YOU MADE HER FEEL."
This BS can't end soon enough. It never should have happened in the first place.
Every white person who took responsibility for black criminality has blood on their hands. Every white person who proclaimed moral superiority by accusing other whites of being "racist" during this idiotic witch hunt should be tarred and feathered.
This Idiot Compassion has hurt more people -- not to mention the black people it has hurt. And the worst part of it is the tyrannical censorship -- just try mentioning black crime stats to these people -- they hiss and claw at the air -- WHY? When they're the next victim waiting in the wings?
The key part of this is in all caps: ALL THAT MATTERS IS THE WAY YOU MADE HER FEEL. I have been rereading Lewis's The Abolition of Man. The first chapter "Men without chests" addresses this issue in the first few paragraphs.
My mentor is continuously telling me "Feelings aren't facts." If we only use our feelings to know something we really know nothing.
They are the textbook definition of "useful idiots", gleefully carrying water for the evil in this world. They are beyond hope at this stage and should be relegated and shunned as such...
What kind of 'allegations' you could have put out there based on 'ALL THAT MATTERS IS THE WAY YOU MADE HER FEEL' rule of fake 'logic'. It seems to me that reversing the tables might not be such a bad idea?
Never mind how I felt being branded a "racist" for doing my job according to objective standards. Not to mention the threat of losing that job.
Never mind the blatant discrimination inherent in that statement. SHE doesn't have to provide evidence. But I was being told to do so.
There was nothing "racist" in the content of the student's grievance whatsoever. It should have been vetted before wasting the time of FOUR PERSONS. The HR Biddy announced at the outset that 2022 had been thus far a "banner year" for complaints of racism.
Blacks and Hispanics suffer most when Black and Hispanic criminals walk free, because most of them live in Black and Hispanic communities, and inflict most of their crimes on people in their own neighborhoods.
I have thick and somewhat curly hair that I keep in a bob haircut. I always remind my hairdresser not to let it look like a “Karen” in the back.😂. No offense to any of the awesome Karens here.
It is as bad as what happened to the nickname for Richard. My mother worked for a lawyer named Dick Hunter back in the 70s. Now, he probably wouldn't claim that name professionally unless he was a male "performer."
In my head, fleeing the scene indicates the perpetrator knows that a wrong was committed. Decarlos fled. He didn’t want to get caught He knew he had broken the law.
Magistrate Stokes allowed this death to occur. She and many others in her position should also be held responsible.
He didn't just flee. He also took off his bloody hoodie so that he would look "normal" when he left the train, as opposed to being covered in the blood of his victim. He isn't crazy. He knew exactly what he was doing.
Did any of you hear in one of the audios one of the other riders on the train say “Don’t get involved”. Was I mistaken in hearing that or was it added by AI or a faker? I seriously heard that on the video where it showed Decarlos walking away but was still inside the traincar and his knife was dripping blood. I do not think the blood was fake , it seemed to clearly drip like blood and stain the car floor. but the voice over could have been fake.
Large black man with dreads and a hoodie, wielding a knife...how would you approach him to throw him under the train. Only a good guy with a gun would have stopped him.
No one stepped up to assist? Who else rides that train, brain dead zombies? It seems like it's past time for some frontier justice and vigilance, against the perpetrators and those who enable them: “elite” leftist dems.
If you commit a violent crime, it’s your fault. Period. The end! You should be locked up, no bail. It doesn’t matter if you have a mental health issue. Studies have shown repeatedly that multiple violent crime acts eventually lead to murder when the perpetrator notices that he never faces consequences.
“Mental illness” definitions have been really dumbed down too to justify letting someone off easily from a crime, at the same time the mental illness of living your life as the gender you are not is considered normal by the psychological authorities. When things make so little sense, they are evil from the devil.
Murder is a symptom of mental illness, and the idea that courts allow ‘temporary insanity’ to be considered a legal defense is absurd. anybody who does anything like what this man did is obviously insane and should be put to death in order to rid our neighborhoods of the trash.
… any sympathy for a man like this may end up with you shedding your blood for his sake
As Matt Taibbi reminded us yesterday, Dostoevsky perfectly described the left’s current depravity/absence of any moral compass: “when God is dead, everything is permitted.“ This is where we are.
You have an excellent point there, dude, and it actually proves that God is not ruling this world right now, else there would be no fight. I’m not saying he’s not the ultimate power in the universe. I’m simply saying that he’s sitting back and watching the Christians, Jews, and Muslims, all claiming to believe in God and yet living their lives as though God did not exist.
… God’s just sitting back and watching evil rule this world (and sometimes I think he just laughs at how stupid some people are)
Thanks, JD... I have been reading "I Contain Multitudes" and "Fingerprints of the Gods" and am pretty well convinced that none of the current "religions" have the truth.
Allow me to strengthen your conviction there dude. I’m acquainted with a book written by a brilliant man, Christopher Hitchens, a man that claimed to be an atheist, although I don’t know how those two terms go together. It seems to me that you can no more prove that God does not exist as you can prove that he does exist. But, the man was brilliant, I’ll give him that. He wrote a book that he mistakenly titled; ‘God is Not Great’, with this subtitle; “how religion poisons everything”. You see what I mean about his claim to be an atheist, here he’s talking about how God is not great as though God exists. I think agnostic was the correct term to describe him, but nonetheless, as far as his title goes and his subtitle, he’s wrong about God, but he’s absolutely correct about religion.
His mistake was in thinking that God has anything to do with any of man’s religions
… he doesn’t, but you couldn’t convince any of them of that
I agree, Hitchens was a great man. And that "agnostic" is probably a better descriptor.
IMO, none of us know anything about "God"... though MANY claim to know all about it/him/her.
Judging from the current state of the world, IMO Hitchens is correct, in that all of the man-made "Gods" in all religions, are not great... in fact, one might claim them to be sadistic, racist, craven, vicious, shallow and vengeful.
Even the pompous, bloviating "christians" here would have to admit they all live under the treat of eternal damnation and eternal agony, if they step far enough out of line or fail to say the magic words.
Imagine a "Creator" doing that to his own children, whom HE designed... all flaws included. Horrifying.
Good morning C & C, it was wonderful watching President Trump yesterday and praying with the pastor. Lets keep praying that God will smile on our nation again, and that people will repent from their sins. Thank you Jeff for the great update.
If you frame every negative thing that happens to a black person as racism from childhood up, how is he or she to know the difference? I'm raising children who are black and I've thought carefully about how differently they might view ordinary wrongs of childhood coming from their peers if they were told it was racism rather than children being selfish as children will sometimes be. It's a pretty cruel thing to put a racism framework upon a child and not teach them the reality of what human sinfulness is, how it effects everyone. If I saw clear racism, of course I would address it, but there's been so little, and it's far better that my children recognize both their own and others selfishness as harmful forces in the world and that they have not been targeted for their skin color.
Early in my teaching career, I had a black girl who would say to me...."u r mixed Miss Lee, I know you are....you are mixed." She loved me and knew I loved her. That was back 30 years ago when we taught everyone is the same just shades of brown. There wouldn't be racism if they weren't creating it.
It’s gotten bad enough that otherwise smart people claim that differential poverty rates of blacks vs. whites is proof of racism. It’s pretty easy to just say that’s due to most kids growing up in a home with only a mother present. One earner - less income. It also brings in the illegitimacy angle. The other person probably thinks I’m a RACIST for saying this, but these are the same people that think every white person is a racist anyway.
Yesterday I saw this Xcellent post on X:
"So let me get this straight…
A bartender can go to prison for serving drinks to a drunk person if they drive and murder someone—
…but judges aren’t accountable after letting a 14 TIME REPEAT OFFENDER murder a young woman?"
I read on line that the judge who continually released him owns the halfway house that he goes to before he goes back on the street! So she’s making $ off his continual releases!!
Seems like that would be a conflict of interest considering her position
It is but it works until scrutinized. A few years back there were a couple of juvenile judges who owned (or profited from) private juvenile detention facility they sent kids to; turned out they were sending kids to be institutionalized there for very minor infractions.
….and one of the kids died in the institution. Heartbreaking for his family, especially because he didn’t do anything to warrant the lockup.
I forgot about that. But you are right I think his death is what finally brought the judges' misconduct to light.
Certainly our paid representatives didn't bring that criminality to light until forced to!!!
And Biden commuted or pardoned one of the judges (or a very similar crime).
yes, it was those same miscreant judges.
Yes. I remember that news. Well, Biden was walking through the wrong doors when President auto pen did it.
In Pennsylvania?
Yes. I had to look it up to be sure. It became known as the kids for cash scheme. And Biden did pardon one of them.
The most offensive one
Lucerne County, PA. The whole judicial system there was under the federal microscope for many years, weeding out the miscreants within.
Biden pardoned them.
One of those”cash for kids” judges got pardoned in Biden autopen mass pardon.
These judges need some thorough investigation.
The phrase, conflict of interest, doesn't seem to be in the Democrats dictionary or moral code.
Back in '93 or so the Commandant of the Coast Guard came to the air station I was stationed at and told us we were held to the standard of "The appearance of impropriety". If it doesn't look right, don't do it, "we don't want to see something looking bad on 60 Minutes".
Looking around I realize our leaders had/have a different standard to follow..
1 Thessalonians 5:22 KJV
"Abstain from all appearance of evil."
We learned at a young age that we were not to do anything that could be construed as evil - violating any of God's commandments or instructions for daily living - we were to "avoid even the appearance of evil". I would posit that any conflict of interest, or the appearance thereof, is to be avoided completely.
Mrs. "the Knife"
Some folks seem to see it as "conflict in favor of my interest" Yikes.
Accountability has to be a priority. It must be done under the law, and not under lawfare. That takes time. But it must be done. I for one want to encourage those responsible to keep going.
Of course not. They have no code because they are Godless people.
Democrats don't recognize conflict of interest when it pertains to them. Nothing to see here, move along
I guess if you can own several houses and claim you live in all of them.....all of the time.....anything is possible.....and if you're a Democrat, you can sit "on public transportation, [next to] a murderous maniac with multiple priors who’d recently been released without bail" without a care in the world.
Seems like such a conflict would be well worth investigating. Let the games begin!
Huge conflict of interest...
I heard the exact same thing. So, she apparently has had a financial interest in releasing him. This woman needs to be investigated, not just with regard to this particular perpetrator, but every single case in which she released a prisoner needs to be investigated to see if she received some kind of financial benefit. If this is true, and that has yet to be proven, then she not only needs to be removed from her job and disbarred, she needs to be put in prison.

Often there’s an unmentioned $ incentive driving decisions of people in power. They are not simply rabid leftist totalitarians.
This is inhumane. To torment a fellow soul only for $$. This is anti-humanity at its finest — and money is often used when committing inhumane atrocities: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/what-humanity-is-supposed-to-look
The love of money is the root of all evil.
There is a comma in the sentence. The sentence continues with "and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs" (1 Tim 6:10 NASB)
It's called arrogant greed.
But what would a persons price be for such evil? $$$$$$$$…. Soulless.
I saw that too, and most elected politicians are in similar grifts. As sad as this is, if it starts waking up at least some of the dazed-masses it will at least serve some purpose.
As tor the retired Veterinary professor killed in Auburn Al last weekend, Alabama has the death penalty. I propose after this guy's trial the state should have a vet put him down the same way animals are put down; when no drugs are available. 😎
Sunlight is the best disinfectant ! Open the books! The innocent have nothing to hide!!
I kinda think it's time to revive stoning people like this to death. I'll bring the rocks.
"Let him who is without sin cast the first stone."
You do know how that is done, don’t you. And you don’t need a vet.
Kids for cash - Luzerne County, PA
https://jlc.org/luzerne-kids-cash-scandal
And how do they most likely spend their time at the Halfway House?
“Without manufacturing, that National Debt will grow as the tax base deteriorates and the joblessness pressures the government to spend more money on food stamps and rent help so people can eat Cheese Puffs while playing Call of Duty in a rent-free $3,000-a-month rental.” Don Surber 9/9
GEEZ. Why am I not surprised after all this corruption and money flowing left and right, wrongly
And I believe isn’t this “judge” a black woman? How convenient?
Classic "follow the money"!
Seeing that photo, just before that evil lunatic murdered that innocent woman sitting on that train is a stark reminder why I EDC everywhere I go - you don't need to advertise by wearing it out in the open, you just need it available at an instant's notice to dispatch - with prejudice - scumbag's like the one that took her life. I urge every one to get something like a Ruger LCP in .380 with good critical defense ammunition - which you can easily carry hidden on your person, train on how to maintain it, how to deploy it- which means to empty your magazine on the SOB and reload, and how to properly respond after. Dont be a victim. Be strong and stand and defend those, like that woman, who did nothing and yet paid with her life.
And sadly, she was completely unaware of her surroundings, wearing earbuds, not paying attention. She was too trusting, and had fallen for the Black Lives Matter psyop it has been shown.
Sit with your back to a wall and keep your head up and aware of the surroundings. Trust no one!
I’m not sure this is taught?!! I remember when I was learning to drive my mom said park under a light. Keep your doors locked (back before doors automatically locked) have your keys out and ready before leaving a building to walk to your car. Especially at night but make it a practice. Be mindful. Aware. All these simple safety measures have come in handy. Do parents not teach these things?
Those headphones are dangerous! One cannot be aware of their surroundings if you lose your sense of hearing.
Sure they are. But good luck changing these mind controlled zombies.
Agreed! Head phones. Phone. Heads up
Always check your back seat before getting in the car in case someone is hiding there.
I also carry my keys so that they stick through my fingers like a claw to be used as a weapon if need be.
Yes! My mom told me that one also. She was always for locking doors because at a red light someone tried getting into her car. It’s the little things
Yup… 👍🏽
Sit as far front near the driver and exits as possible. If that's racist F/U!
Sitting back to the wall would only be an option if the outside seat were available. However, the speed this guy got up and on top of her wouldn't have given but a second or two to react. Maybe enough to scream and get people's attention.
She had no qualms about sitting by him. She was concerned neither over his race nor toxic masculinity. IOW she was neither racist nor misandrist. What a beautiful soul.
Thought I read he got on and sat behind her. But people get on public transport and retreat into their little worlds oblivious to surroundings. I’ve probably done that myself.
He was seated when she got on and sat in the row in front of him. I think the lesson to be learned from this is that vigilance is required everywhere and at all times. She was so trusting.
Ok. You hear so many versions of this horrifying murder.
Yeah, that MFer should have been bleeding out, instead of her.
Yes they showed in her apartment she had a BLM poster.
But in her defense she did everything a woman who looked like her should do in that present environment: she had her blonde hair tied back and not hanging out. She wore a cap, kept her head down and did not make eye contact. Still it wasn’t enough.
On the contrary, making eye contact is important. It's a challenge. Keeping your eyes down is submission. Clocking someone with your eyes is often enough to cause them to back down.
Female here.
I disagree.
We need to be aware of everyone around us but making eye contact isn’t a good idea. It can draw the attention of a lunatic or aggressive guy who might otherwise not engage.
Female here also… It depends on the situation. I like to keep my eyes up and always looking around. It lets them know that I’m watching them! I call it putting on my Referee face…
My brother-in-law got attacked a couple of months ago on a Marta train in Atlanta… He had his headphones on, and was totally unaware until they hit him repeatedly… We will never know if it was a race thing or a gang related thing or some nut job. 😡 The police were no help even though they have the video. That is the second time he’s been attacked in downtown Atlanta. 😡😡😡
Y’all please be careful out there… 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Female also. Survived NYC in the 80s, by myself as a bartender at night traveling home through some of the scariest circumstances imaginable. It's pretty simple. Looking down equals submission, Criminals read fear easily. I've traveled Europe and Mexico by myself without trouble--and I'm telling you you have to hold your head high, be aware at all times. You don't want to aggressively confront, no, but you do need to stand your ground.
Please, understand that this animal would have killed whoever sat there. He was methodical and waiting for a victim.
Yes, she did many wise things except avoiding sketchy-looking people which, sadly, we've been indoctrinated to believe is racist. Would have been better to sit among a group of people that looked connected to normal social behavior.
I don’t think it’s fair to victim blame here. She has a right to safely get across town. We spend a great deal of money on security so she can. Sure no one can rely upon the police 100% of the time so we should all have situational awareness but situational awareness doesn’t always work. If he was hell bent on killing her -unless she was armed and trained her outcome wouldn’t have changed.
The judge and prosecutors failed her and his victims and should be held accountable.
It's not my intention to victim blame...quite the contrary. Of course everyone has the right to travel and not be killed but that's not reality. My comment and others listed in this thread are an attempt to raise awareness of all things we need to think about to reduce our chances of getting murdered like this poor young woman.
Just saw some info this evening where that could have been made up by Russia disinfo group.
https://x.com/Tatarigami_UA/status/1965407914484781161
I question that account reporting that too because they use weak-sauce logic that it’s obvious the account is operated by a team because it “consistently remained inactive for exactly six hours each day, from 11 PM to 4 AM. This pattern suggests that an entire team is operating behind the account.” Uh no …. that pattern suggests a single person who sleeps each night operates thar account. 🤣 If that’s one of the primary tells then my account is operated by an entire team. Lmao. I go inactive every night about 11pm until 7am! When I see this kind of convoluted logic it’s a red flag that the accuser is also a targeting account/team. I don’t trust either.
Ok, again I’m going off on a tangent!!!!! I’m currently on a cruise in Norway. Beautiful, awesome and majestic…the ‘French’ tour guy today mentioned that Norway is very safe! One can leave their purse and phone on the bar/table and leave for sometime and come back and it’s still there…then talking to a sales person …and he too from France….he said he fled France because of how unsafe it is, he even mentioned ‘no one’ locks their door! Wake up America!!!!!!
Nancy - Interesting. I have a second cousin who married and moved to Norway, she likes it there. I watch a cooking show called NewScanCook that is based in Norway, and they have shown so many of the various geographic regions, the cruise ships, the fishing, the farms, seems like a beautiful country and good people. France, the UK, Germany and Sweden on the other hand have suffered greatly at the hands of the invading migrants, of a different religion, who do not assimilate and whose allegiance is to a false deity. The natives in those countries are just now realizing that they must rise up en masse and say no to the globalist agenda. In France Macron is on the way out.
Yep!!!
May I ask what cruise line? We’re going on a cruise to Norway next summer. I can’t wait! What’s the food like in Norway?
Pretty much ate only on ship….nummy…but just their trinkets to take home are everywhere…but, they fish and export, have not been disappointed…chocolates too!
Holland America…
When new employees made their first (international) trip, I told them to walk with a purpose and keep your head on a swivel. No badee badah gawking at the sites.
I doubt that…she was young, likely she was listening to music. Her “situational unawareness” had nothing to do with BLM or it’s politics.
She had a BLM poster in her apartment. She had a liberal mindset, she didn't think she had anything to fear riding the transit. She was wrong. But that feral animal should never have been loose to commit a crime.
Didn’t know that.
Saw this where it could be disinfo from Russian groups.
https://x.com/Tatarigami_UA/status/1965407914484781161
The account reporting that is questionable too
Per usual…all is not how it seems.
Sadly, because she was so unaware of her surroundings no firearm would have saved her.
I think it likely that Ukraine, in spite of the war, does not have the daily personal threats from a feral underclass that she unknowingly faced in North Carolina.
I dont know, maybe, depends on how quickly one (not her) might react to the situation, meaning trained and ready.
And the other thing to consider is if enough people carry and stop this kind of crap, the criminals will be less willing to do something stupid. "Gun free zones" created by the anti-gun loons are a big part of the problem.
OK this is hard to say. I Legally carry in my state and I'm trained. Even if I couldn't line up on this POS prior to the stabbing, he would NEVER have left the bus alive. And nobody would have to deal with his issues, his trial and incarceration etc. ever again. Just the coroner.
I haven't seen evidence of anyone even noticing the stabbing incident on the transportation line. Just one guy who ran away - did she yell? Looks like the commotion would've caught someone's attention even out of the corner of their eye.
I wondered too. No one seemed to notice, even with blood dripping off the monster.
I believe any area marked "gun free zone" should be accepting liability for anyone's safety in that area and anything which happens in that area.
You don't want me able to protect myself? Then you had better be on top of things! Movie theaters? Liable. Schools? Liable. Government buildings? Liable. (but good luck getting them to pay) Store? Liable. Malls? Liable.
Being aware of your situation and having the means to deal with it, are both pretty damned important.
Even if she had an armed cop sitting next to her, she would have been killed in this demonic, ruthless style of attack. Will certainly make me think twice before sitting with my back to someone.
Whenever I ride the subway I make sure at the train station that my back is against a wall or pillar.
I don't think so, I think the scum bag would have gone and killed someone else, somewhere else.
I agree with Dan, we need people riding the buses and the trains and the subways that are willing and capable to defend people from the violent ones that walk among us. People that are there and aware of what’s going on around them that would’ve stopped that man’s life as soon as he pulled that knife.
Or….zero tolerance policies which jail thugs for a first crime & jail them longer for a 2nd, would create a society where the % who are violent are either IN jail or fear harsh sentencing.
Of this I am certain. The death penalty, when used, has a zero repeat offender occurrence.
Very good idea Astragale, and then life in prison with no parole for the third serious criminal offense, or perhaps, we should seriously consider that 50 cent solution, since someone like that seems to be irredeemable
… I know that may seem to be harsh on some of these criminals, but we’ve got to put them out of our misery
The death penalty isn't about us, or the criminal. It's about God. He is so offended by the murder of one of His special creations, that He demands the life of the murderer. In the Old testament, even animals who kill a human must forfeit their life. That's how much we mean to Him.
Another thing i noticed about this victim is she's sitting there seemingly oblivious to her surroundings. She appears to have on headphones and is looking at her cell phone. You should be able to relax and simply sit in a train minding you own business but sadly we need to be aware of our surroundings and potential danger. Maybe it would have helped. Mayne not. The murder of this young woman simply going about her day until this savage takes her life is heartbreaking and infuriating at the same time.
Or a product from Byrna.

Hi Lori,
I suppose it is an option, but at that point, Im not really just interested in maybe incapacitating the SOB, maybe not, depending on how drug influenced he is. I also see byrna as an attack on our 2nd Amendment since it is not a real gun - think that through. But to each his own... and you will probably end up meeting the SOB in a court room too.
For those that can't stomach have a murder (albeit justified) on the life and Soul resume, at least it is something to have on hand.
Its not murder, it is self defense and the defense of others. I will take that in front of the Good Lord and I do not think He will condemn for defending someone else's life. I mean, He's the one that gave us the 2A, not the freakin gov...
Big difference between murder & self defense. Bible says do not murder. Though I understand some individuals cannot stomach using our 2A right. Byrna is a good choice.
Thank you for correcting that incorrect thought. It's not murder to defend your self or others. SELF DEFENSE IS NOT MURDER!!
Some would not want self defense on their resume either but I understand your position and agree completely.
Where did the Lord impart the 2nd Amendment? What book and verse, please. Also, the 2nd Amendment is codified by the government. I believe your statement to be factually incorrect. Finally, self defense can become murder in excess. As you judge, so shall you also be judged. Sure, it sounds good to gun someone down in self defense or defense of others, but be prepared to be tied up legally for a while.
Dan not all states allow CC. Byrna is a legal option unless you carry illegally and that opens you up to be prosecuted.
Hi Karmy,
That's not true. From a web search, "No States outright ban the concealed carry of firearms; concealed carry is legal in all 50 states, although regulations vary significantly by state. While some states have more restrictive concealed carry laws than others, and you cannot lawfully carry in all 50 states without encountering some restrictions, a complete ban does not exist."
Some make you get a CC Permit. It pays to know what the rules are in your state for sure. Here in Arizona we have constitutional carry, meaning we can carry without a permit. Most states are "Shall-issue" states meaning they will issue a permit to carry a concealed weapon if the applicant meets the states requirements. Some states have discretionary issue where issuing a permit is up to the discretion of a law enforcement official.
Its probably not surprising that the gun grabbing lunatics in NY, NJ, MA, and HI have the most restrictive laws. I would not live in any of them, ever.
For more info, please see: hjttps://www.NRAILA.ORG/get-the-facts/right-to-carry-and-concealed-carry/
I just personally see more problems with the "Byrna" option and I sure dont like the threat it creates to have lethal firearms, which I am guaranteed because of the 2A. But that's me.
You may also want to read SCOTUS' Heller decision.
Forgive me for not saying all states don’t allow CC easily. I did not say a ban but blue states are restrictive.
He's already had what I call the "Byrna Effect"., which is les than lethal. 14 trips to the court 14 easy outs. Thats the Bryna effect in action, almost doing enough to stop the madness.
An option for self protection. It is up to the courts now to sentence him to death.
I AGREE WITH YOUR PREMISE AND I DO THE VERY SAME!! The issue is in that city., if you are a white "person" and you killed a "black" man in the commission of a murder, you would be held for charges to be developed down the line.RE: Daniel Penny. Stay strapped!
I have a Smith & Wesson 38 special but it kills my hands to practice. I need a gun that I don’t have to soak my hand and ice for two days after I go to a practice shoot.
Try the .380 LCP or something like it, the kick is minimal, meaning easier to keep on target too, while avoiding shock to your hands. And again, with good critical defense ammo, like Fed HST, you will stop the SOB and you wont meet him in a courtroom either. Both good outcomes from my view.
I also carry an SA XCP in .45 ACP. Slightly bigger, still imminently concealable. And with critical defense +p ammo, it will stop anyone, but it comes with much more kick too. So technique is critical.
Thanks for the tip about the .380 LPC. My hands are very arthritic now.
Not sure I’ll be able to get a permit here in Oregon, but I think it’s still possible.
You are 💯 right, if more people carried we wouldn’t have a lot of these problems.
Take a look at byrna.com No permit needed. It is a big deal to discharge a firearm. Injuring or killing a human is more than life changing. What you want is to defend yourself.
I'm a former LEO- female. I'll guarantee you that if you pull a gun on me you will hesitate and I'll snatch it from you. A bad guy will use it on you. Many police are shot with their own guns. I have a couple of these, but like the CL in ORANGE for most. Orange tells the police it is non- lethal. Non-lethal does not mean "no injury."
The key is to not pull a gun ever, unless you are trained and ready to immediately and accurately deploy it to save your life or someone else's life. If you pull it out and aim it and don't fire it, you have a great chance someone else will shoot you or take it from you.
You can go to a range and rent their pistols, see what works for you. It’s not just how hard it is to pull the trigger and control the recoil, but can you rack it? With my arthritic hands, the S&W M&P EZ .380 is a good fit but then you still have to find a way to carry concealed which can be a challenge especially if petite/slim. Layered, patterned tops help.
Good idea, actually, great idea. There’s a women run shooting place that I could go to as well as some outdoor ranges.
Why not open carry? That is more obvious to the bad guys. I suppose that is a discussion for another day. Depends on the state too.
I would probably get one of those crossbody bags for some uses.
It is important to remind people that a bullet can travel some distance and go through several layers of drywall so be aware of what is behind the target before shooting.
I have the LCP 2 among other semi auto pistols. Size wise it's is the easiest to carry. Small little gun but for some reason I'm really accurate with it.
Absolutely. Good, accurate weapon.
I disagree. .380 has more of a kick than a larger pistol. I have a .380 and chose to go with a larger caliber because the smaller hurt my hand more. I am a female.
Sorry , but every time I keep seeing .380 referenced, I think of my daughter. She used my Sig Sauer .380 auto concealed on the roof of a counter top level bread cabinet. I must have told her it was there when she dog sat for us for a trip to the Caribbean , because the only way you could see it was to kneel on the floor. And yeah, it is deadly loaded with hollow points.
Roland, Im not understanding your point.
Did she have to use it in self defense or did something bad happen to her because she didn't know how to use it?
She blew her brains out. That's an image you cannot unsee. Our only child. Rockefeller Frankenstein proven by the autopsy to have given her Effexor, Clonazapam, Vibryd, Gabapenton, and Lomotragen, all "anti' depressants " with depression and suicide as side effects. "Callers don't jump. Jumpers don't call". I'm here to tell you "horseshit".
I never advise non- combat trained people to "get a gun." I can promise you that if the average person pulls a gun on me, I can snatch it from them and use it on them.
I don’t disagree, but my advise is get a gun, learn how to use it and train in tactical situations, and if you deploy it, use it. Everyone needs to make the decision to be a victim or be able to protect yourself in a life and death situation. The police ALWAYS arrive way too late.
You might snatch it from an untrained person but you wouldn’t be able to snatch it from me. We’d definitely be in a gun fight. But then I don’t think you and I are the type of people who would do what that animal did to that innocent woman, either.
I know about the police arriving afterwards. I was the police. It's just a lucky break to be in the right place.
Most civilians are just not capable of pulling that trigger. Their hesitation gets it taken away. Many police are shot with their own gun.
Everyone is at some point in a position to be caught off guard.
I covered thousands of cases of innocent people becoming victims of horrible crimes. HORRIBLE. This one wasn't even close to the worst. So, I'm a tad clinical about such things.
And, I'm not male. I still like a byrna launcher. It covers the grey area up to the "kill" decision. I carry both. It's a wonderful defensive tool.
Get a 22. If you unload it, it is lethal. No reason to save ammo in this situation. Much lighter and easier to shoot.
When Jason Seaman took down a kid in his class firing a 22 he took three rounds but was still able to disarm the kid. The black thug who killed Iryna
looks hefty so a 22 might not have slowed him down. Might have diverted his attention perhaps.
22 rounds often bounce around inside the body and tear it up pretty good. I've seen enough of them to know.
Reading this thread sounds like a bunch of cowboys who have never been shot at. I have.
As a famous fighter says...everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.
Yeah, and my plan is to carry and be ready, and not be a victim, and not get punched in the mouth either. And to not take a knife to a gun fight! I was in the Army for 34 years and used firearms of many types.
I refer you to the wild and wooly internets where the “22LR is not enough” is thoroughly debunked.
KelTec P-17
My hands aren't terribly strong and I have a9 mm S&W "Equalizer" with a laser dot for aiming.(Once you learn how to use it, it's too much fun!) I do have to focus to be sure my hands are firmly gripping it, but I like the gun. Please note: I'm a total newbie to guns and may not be the one to give advice!
Same here. I'm planning on getting a Byrna as CWilson suggested.
Good idea, Beckadee, and carry it like the police do.
…byrna on the left hip, .380 LCP on the right hip
Thank you for spreading the word. In reading the thread here, all I see are a bunch of civilians who have never been in a gunfight, worked the streets, handled a bunch of shootings- and think it is glamorous.
You shoot a human and your life is forever changed. You make a mistake and you will be on the wrong side of the bars.
What you want is to defend yourself and run away. This goes for both men and women. I happen to be the latter.
I carried a weapon 24/7 for 27 years. my S&W 38 special wrecks my hand every time and I've had it since 1976. It was my duty weapon when I was a Robbery detective. I practiced with something more substantial
I tell everyone who isn't combat oriented to get a Byrna.com CL. It's their new model and is ideal as a defensive weapon. Take a look at their videos. I have 2 of them only because the CL was not out when I bought my first one.
Its an option, not one I will ever choose. And others will fire back with lethal. As you know.
Check into a SigSauer P238 or a Glock 43x 9mm
Big handguns, not easy to CC.
Look into these. My daughter conceals a 43x and the P238 can fit in your hand. Not big at all
Try curcumin. It's stronger than advil and won't damage your kidneys.
Practice with Cowboy loads. Less recoil.
Watching the whole thing, even if she did pack, she stood no chance. But anyone who does pack is aware of their surroundings and would have been sitting with their back to the wall. Whether it be a knife in my bra or a nug handy, I always sit with with my back to a wall. Unless Hubs is with me. Then he has that seat.
My Walther PPS won't stop a charging elephant but charging elephants are not going to try to rob me.
Watch the Tucker Carlson interview with Dr. Moore and how the FBI and judges made his life absolute hell for not injecting his patients with the Covid jab. What they did to Dr. Michael Kirk Moore was beyond foul. Here are some of the names of disgust that caused him to be jailed twice in solitary confinement and wanted to punish him for not following what he was told. They sought to ruin Dr. Moore in every way possible. They wanted to put him away for 35 years. You will not believe this happened in the US.
REMEMBER THESE FOUL NAMES-they are NOT on our side
Todd Bouton-Federal Prosecutor in Utah and a really disgusting entity-1st POS
Jacob Strain- Senior Prosecutor Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Utah Another POS
Judge Jared Bennett-3rd POS
Why have the first two not be fired and still work for the DOJ????? Bondi needs to fire them now.
Bondi didn't do the right thing until social media uproar and MTG and Mike Lee advocating to Bondi for him.
Perhaps she was unaware. I had never heard of him until it all broke. How many have heard of Dr Scott Jensen, who was vilified in Minnesota simply for questioning deaths being put out by the hospitals during the early stages of the covid lockdowns. He had to fight continuously to keep his practice. The media doesn’t talk about these things. Once again if any mainstream media had bothered to do some investigative journalism, how different would our world be today.
I met him Scott Jensen last year. What a kind soul. He should have been governor. He was definitely railed. He was hit hard.
In a recent email I received there was a poster in the back round "Scott Jensen for governor." I wonder if he is running again?
Hope so
Exactly. That is why we know God was in the details.
Yep, Lori.
This is the kind of “crime” libs like to punish. While they rush to defend murderers & keep them free on the streets.
What twisted people they are, corrupted by their extremist ideology.
I need to be more informed on this, thank you.
Dave, you won't believe what they did to this good doc. God had a hand in his victory for sure. It is just unbelievable that this happened here. And Dr. Moore says it had nothing to do with justice but for the FBI to be right and to punish. They raided his house without warning too.
Watch the Tucker Carlson interview with Dr. Moore…you’ll get clued in and then some! 😉🤓
Red guards in black robes are the real threat to democracy and safety. They need to face consequences. Irina Zarutska - say her name!
Meanwhile, Apple TV is releasing a miniseries that smears online conservatives as the real threat: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/the-savant-predictable-meme
Hmmm. Tim Cook was at that White House dinner for tech oligarchs several days ago. Maybe someone ought to tell Trump about what he is up to with The Savant.
Movies and TV series take years to make. This got green lighted during Biden, before the vibe shifted. We’ll probably have another year of woke crap before we see Hollywood do better.
Production began in spring of 2024. But that doesn't change their intent.
Can you elaborate? I'd like to learn more. It was unnerving that, once again, djt is mingling with scum (the company one keeps?). And, Melania calling for more AI surveillance/Governance "for our safety" BS.
Also, I think Trump subscribes to the "keep your friends close and your enemies closer" school of thought on dealing with other powerful people. Politics involves constantly mingling with scum.
I hope you're right bc seeing Gates sitting next to Melania and Zuckerbucks next to Trump made me 🤢 .
...and, don't forget, RFK public ly calling for every citizen donning a wearable device in the next 4 years....come on Sheeple, Wake. Up.
I know a lot of people who wear glucose monitors and others who wear smart watches to monitor their heart function. Other people I know have been tracking their number of steps for 20 years. I am as paranoid as the next person, but I really don't have a problem with that, and if you think they are all sheeple, you have never watched anyone collapse into a diabetic coma or die from a sudden heart attack.
Clearly for some it makes sense. Does not mean that everyone should.
And, the demonic Gates was there too.
We are NOT a democracy! Look it up!
Dems want you to think democracy which is a loooong way from Constitutional Republic!
See? It works! If a lie is said enough times, it will be believed!
And I get tired of Republicans using that word, too. We should use the right words ALL THE TIME. Constitutional Republic. Or we will lose it just like Ben Franklin said. (Well. ‘If we can keep it.’ Which I fear we can’t ….)
You know, the only reason this is covered anywhere at all is the video. There have been about a half dozen other similar murders in the last year or so and none of them ignited a media or social media firestorm. No notice at all.
The video made it so obvious how innocent and helpless she was and how vicious he was that it couldn’t help but get attention.
The media is accustomed to being able to suppress stories like this because we don’t generally have video.
Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Judges and magistrates doing this, knowing the history of the criminal, should be held as accessories to the crime committed.
Sadly, judges are rarely accountable for _anything_. :(
Why is no one telling us what those 14 arrests were for? I would like to know.
Rules for thee, but not for me.
Mrs. "the Knife"
I know drunks who got rich this way.
Asst AG Harmeet Dillon announced on Benny Johnson’s show that her office WIlLL investigate prosecutors who are racist in what they prosecute and don’t prosecute. I will nominate they look into judges Pokorny and Donovan of Lawrence, KS.
Might judges ever be held accountable for this? Jeff Childers?
These same judges are the ones who should be held accountable for their gross misjudgment of these felons, allowing them again and again to break our laws and commit horrendous deeds.
Happy with Trump's concern for Christianity but would like to see Ben Carson in Trump's cabinet. I don't trust all his cabinet members nor several of his advisors. Also would like to see General Flynn close to Trump's ear.
Ben Carson is a joke. Yesterday I got an email from Lindsey Graham announcing Carson's endorsement for Graham to be reelected. Carson's a stooge I guess.
Apparently Graham is a useful tool for the cause. Trump also supports him.
Jeff C. recently wrote about this support for the less than sterling who are very electable over seemingly better candidates, who have little chance of winning. Holding the seats in Congress are vital.
This short video is one of my favorites of warmonger Graham…Trump still campaigning..
https://rumble.com/v2xropi-rino-traitor-lindsey-grahamcontinuing-to-backstab-president-trump-and-maga-.html
Yeah, I know…but somehow for Trump the math works.
They should be dragged out of their courtrooms in full robes, prosecuted and hung by their private parts.
Saw that too! Thought it was the BEST point to make right now

This is a good place to thank the Lord for all the pro Christian policies Trump is putting in place and encouraging. Prayers and encouragement for our president on his faith walk.
I am reading a book titled, "The American Story, The Beginnings" by David Barton and Tim Barton. It is an excellent resource if you really want to know the truth about how our country was founded... on Christian principles. And on page 205 of this book it states this, "As a matter of civil policy, it matters not whether my neighbor is an atheist or unbeliever. If he governs his behavior by basic Biblical values such as those found in the Ten Commandments - that is, if he refrains from killing me, stealing my property, or taking my spouse - he can make a good neighbor and, for that matter, a good citizen even if he is an atheist."
"The same is true with other Biblical standards and teachings such as the Golden Rule and the parable of the Good Samaritan. Living by such teachings uplifts and civilized a people and their society."
The first English colonists were indeed Christians, but I defy anyone to find a statue of Jesus in any public area of Washington D.C. Instead, D.C. is decorated with every false god and Freemason symbol one can think of (Isis, Mars, Poseidon-Neptune, Minerva-Athena-Columbia, Mercury, Vulcan, Ceres, et al). So, while the true settlers of America were people of faith, most of our political leaders have been occultists of one type or another. This is why the tallest obelisk (phallic symbol) in the world stands in Washington, D.C., the George Washington Monument. A giant middle finger, flipping off YHWH.
Might be a good time to read Psalm 2 again after I post this reply.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%202&version=ESV
Ahh, that's better!
This is one of my favorite Psalms! The late great Rich Mullins made a fantastic song out of it. “Why do the nations rage? Why do they plot and scheme? Their bullets can’t stop the prayers we pray in the name of the Prince of Peace.“ https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=admrtc8MocA&pp=ygUqcmljaCBtdWxsaW5zIHdoaWxlIHRoZSBuYXRpb25zIHJhZ2UgbHlyaWNz
Blessed are all who take refuge in him. 🙌
Most Christians don't even obey the 3rd or 4th commandments. They falsify YHWH's name and don't honor YHWH's day, the Sabbath. The MAIN reason for this is that the Christian Bible has been severely paganized. Christians need to get back to the SCRIPTURES, translated by the Scripture Research Institute in S. Africa. fossilisedcustoms.com.
I am a big fan of Dr Barton and his son. I have heard him speak and read his books. My bucket list includes visiting Wallbuilders some day.
I have always said that I do not care if you are religious or not, as long as you follow the 10 commandments and the Golden Rule. The world would be a better place for all.
Wow I just looked it up on amazon and that book looks great! Can't afford it but I put it in my wish list for the future. Thanks!! :-)
Found some used ones, $3 shipping tho. I’ll send you mine when done.
Oh my gosh, that'd be amazing. You can imagine after yesterday's tragedy I want to be armed with as much knowledge as possible to honor his legacy. I just feel gutted for him.
You can email via my website, it’s karenbandy.com
Be warned, I’m a slow reader and I’ll let my husband read it too. 😉
David Barton was a favorite among homeschoolers in the ‘90’s when it was just taking off. Very knowledgeable man. He has researched and found the truth rather than the accepted or distorted history.
The Law of the Lord is the only True eternal answer to all the woes of mankind.
Trump teaches his top executives how to avoid being blackmailed, but he supposedly wrote and drew that note? That’s less believable than Jussie Smollett’s “lynching.”
Excellent observation.
Somehow it's easier to believer that the train murder might be AI, but Trump wrote Epstein's birthday card??? SMFH!
"The reason Iryna died is that Democrats turned Decarlos Brown into a murderous thug using lifelong psychological programming."
Sounds a lot like the whole trans thing and all the mass murders they have committed. Tell people over and over you are a victim and hated and you get a terrible response.
Please everyone, let's not forget that as far back as the 70s, there was an effort to split up the black family..and since then, black women have been having babies without husbands and fathers.
this effort, intentional or not, was a now obvious to anyone who isn't willfully blind, second order effect of all the "welfare" programs.
It was intentional by President Johnson. Read his statement about how this program will have these people voting Democrat.
yep
Johnson’s Great Society. It has been extremely successful in getting his agenda done.
How can a lady have a baby without a husband?
I meant 'PRESENT in their lives'

You're sure working hard to defend this pos. How about you provide some evidence to back up your claim, or stfu.
Pssst Curtis, he's just trolling.
Yes, why I blocked him.
My word, just when you think we've scraped the bottom of this filthy blue barrel....
Demented monsters like these must be exterminated poste haste. There is NO other option. There is no rehabilitation program for the certifiably deranged. No, we must release them from their infirmities. While we're at it, we could throw a few judges into the mix. BOGO.
I'm quite literally nauseous. Teach your kids about situational awareness. My parting words to my daughter as she heads out into the world are: "Head on a swivel, right?" "Got it, dad."
Position yourself in the back when on public transport where no one can come from behind so you have eyes on everyone in front of you. Conceal and carry.
If I'm in a restaurant I try to always have an eye on the door, preferably seated in the back (Not always, depends on the venue), outside aisle seat. Windows are a bonus. I’m always loaded for bear. I don't like it, but unfortunately, in a world gone mad, it has become a necessity. It at least gives me a fighting chance.
I think I remember an old timer gambler (Doc Holiday?) who never sat with his back to the door. Always vigilant.
Just be aware of your surroundings. Get your head out of your phone!
Lincoln should have Googled that.
Same. I don't like it but....
Not everyone can be a Navy Seal, However, learn to be proactive and still have a life,

There is a little 40 page booklet, "Principles of Personal Defense" by Jeff Cooper that one can find on Amazon used for about $30+. This booklet was given to me as part of a week long "combat handgun" course I took in 1980 at Jeff Cooper's Gunsite school. Col. Cooper is considered the father of the modern combat handgun technique. This booklet teaches Cooper's seven principles of self defense and the four conditions of one's mind set. Makes a great gift for a young person.
Hey, thanks for this Phil!
No more used copies available on Amazon anymore. New copies are now $68+! Kindle is $9.99!

Like mobsters in restaurants, always sit in the back against a wall and keep an eye on everyone and everything.
Also the mindset of wild bill hickock
Another great American.
Yup,except the only time he didn't follow the rule...it cost him his life!🤔
That's me. In choosing a table, if there are people in the group who do not know me, I always say I want a corner table and a seat against the wall. If they ask why, I tell them I grew up in a mob family. Not true, but good for a laugh. Also not too far off as I'm claustrophobic. I want to see the exits.
Better safe than sorry, eh?
From the video, concealed carry would have been no help in this murder. The guy struck from behind in moves that took only a few seconds. Even a bystander, who saw him move and had a weapon, or maybe martial arts training, would have been challenged to react fast enough. Martial arts training might have given anyone trying to stop him half a chance. But situational awareness always, yes.
I don’t want to get stuck with a wall behind me either, though…I think I will walk or drive and avoid public transportation myself. One definitely needs to pay attention to all surroundings at all times these days. Just think of the guys who have driven into crowded streets and onto sidewalks. We live in crazy town world these days.
Sometimes I daydream and wonder if all those that were/are evil had chosen to put their energies into what is Godly and good, imagine what a world we would have and how God would have smiled. Heavy sigh.
Don't make the victim into the guilty party
I'm grateful that I woke up to vaccine's toxicity in 2020. I used to get the flu vaccine every year for probably 7 years. My husband refused to get it, and I thought he was so silly. Now who's the silly one? No shingles, pneumonia, flu vaccines for me.
My son is an OR Tech and gets the flu shot every year. Within two weeks he gets a flu so serious that he’s afraid he’s gonna die, literally die. I explained to him the idea of the ‘ratio of correlation’ and yet he stubbornly refuses to see that he gets the flu within two weeks every year without fail After receiving the flu vaccine at the hospital. He’s an intelligent man and has to be in order to be an OR tech and he’s very good at his job. The surgeons request him for their operations. And yet somehow his brain has been washed to the point of
…I can’t even think of a word to describe the stubborn ignorance (lack of knowledge, not stupidity)
Brother, MBA, exact same —I tell the hubbs he’s like our dog , stupid-smart.
stupid-smart, love it, I'm stealing it
He’s been brainwashed by the medical establishment.
Obstinate to the point of harm, doesn’t want to admit he’s been wrong, year after year, when it’s so obvious.
I’d guess that the hospital he works at mandates all vaccines
I’m not sure that they do Deborah, but, I am sure that he insists on getting the shots every year, plus he’s taking all of his ‘common cold’ vaccines as well,
…voluntarily, and with a stubborn look right at me when he tells me he’s gonna get ‘em
A friend of mine, who is an RN nurse practitioner, complained to me that she felt ill for three days after getting the RSV vaccine, flu shot and covid booster all on the same day at the same time last week. Wanting to avoid conflict, I bit my tongue and merely told her how sorry I was.
I would have told her vaccines poison your body. Then she would always know where I stand.
I stopped being silent when the covid shots caused my beloved brother-in-law to die of turbo cancer.
It's such a touchy issue. I have a friend who was forced to be vaccinated (or be fired). Another who was ostracized by her family if she didn't get the jab. Both are worried. I don't want to make their lives more difficult, so I tend to skirt the issue. I hope both will be well.
I agree..why worry someone like that? What is done is done.
Thanks.
Sincere condolences.
I am just devastated over this. Both these people are among my favorite people! One has had a series of health problems. At first she found excuses, but she recently connected it to the jab. And all her kids and grandkids are jabbed. People aren't nearly mad enough about this.
It seems there's not much to do but pray and hope for the Great Reckoning.
She is lucky she did not have a stroke. Many warnings last year about the possibility of stroke for older people that received multiple shots at the same time.
That happened to a cat I owned years ago. Vet gave 4 vaxes on the same day. Cat had a major stroke on the way home. Since most vaxes are given to rats, I have to think the cat situation also applies to humans.
Our two year old healthy and beautiful German shepherd got lymphoma a month after a rabies shot. He died shortly after. Maybe thimerasol?
Amazing, isn't it? And they have the nerve to give very young babies six shots at a time. How would we all feel if we got six shots at once? We'd feel like crap. Why do they think babies can handle it better?
Maybe we should get serious about giving them six shots in return
Last week? A nurse. Praying she wakes up.

The only shots I want come from bottles of tequila.
I firmly believe alcohol is a germ killer and should be used prophylacticly 😂😂
I agree, alcohol is a germ killer. When we lived in San Diego my hubby and I would visit Tijuana regularly. We would go to a bar, have a shot or two of tequila, then go out on the street and buy food from the street vendors, fruit and cucumbers sprinkled with chili powder and lots of tacos with questionable meat. We would then go to another bar for another shot or two, never got sick.
Hot Cayenne pepper is a wonder for your body. Look it up.

Did youse get the walks?
Familia Flores Blanco or Cristalino...
REALLY nice!
Have to take your word. I've never drunk any. Not much of a drinker.
Yes…YUMMY!!!
Good man!
😂
😂 thanks for the laugh!
I prefer Titos, chilled.....lol
I was similar, though had largely stopped the flu shots after seeing so much data about it being a "best guess" and not really working all that well (or negatively).
For the mRNA shots, I was in the "wait and see" camp. If they'd worked as advertised, I'd likely have gotten one. Then the insanely heavy push to get a shot in every arm started, we saw that those who had the shots still got sick or sicker, they still transmitted the virus, and ... why are we giving these shots for a virus with a 99%+ survival rate? (But don't you dare _say_ any of those things....)
I was talking to my neighbor yesterday, 60's, Navy vet, Trump supporter, and he told me how he STILL gets every booster and yearly flu shots! My jaw dropped. He said nothing bad has ever happened to me so I don't see why not. Meanwhile his wife, a nurse, was vax injured after her 2nd jab so she won't get boosters. It is simply shocking that some ppl seem awake, yet are still sheeple.
What I dont understand is why get a covid booster when the shots were proven ineffective? Even their King Biden admitted as such when he said, on tv, that he told the pharmaceutical companies to work on a better shot that actually works.
My husband was the same and I am the MD. So glad i woke up in the knick of time. I got a Shingles vaccine in 2019 and my joints hurt for days. Needless to say, I didnt get the second. I started to look at vaccine issues and then 2020 happened. Holy crap....ignorance is bliss.
I’m trying to keep it simple. I tell people there are three things I won’t put into my body: 1. mRNA 2. Liponano particles. 3. Aborted fetal cells.
Same here. 2020 full stop, including covid, never got.
I hear you Jeanne, The pressure is on in my community 😣 it is “get your Flu shot” and everything else that goes with it. I cut and paste this FB post to here, because I disagree with the Guilt it puts on those who decide NOT to get the shots…
HOW does one respond to this????????
I will not get the shots, but the family/community is pushing….
And here is, a “friend” who put this on Facebook. Another guilt pusher.
Here is what she wrote:
“The flu shot isn’t about you. And Read that again.
I said this last night and I’ll say it louder today: the flu shot is bigger than you.
Influenza isn’t “just a bad cold.” It’s a severe respiratory illness. I’ve had it — it’s brutal. High fevers. Every bone aching. Gasping for breath like you’ll never catch it. And yes, it can kill.
You don’t just get the shot for yourself. You get it for:
👵 The grandparents whose bodies can’t fight like they used to.
🌸 The mom of 3 going through chemo with zero immune system.
👶 The newborn too fragile to fight infections.
💉 The nurses + doctors who need to stay healthy so they can take care of you.
💊 The 50-year-old on meds that weaken his immunity.
🤰 The pregnant mama finally carrying her miracle baby.
👨👦 The single dad who can’t afford another sick day.
🎈 The 7-year-old boy who just wants to play but is high-risk.
❤️ The 30-year-old with HIV whose immune system is already fighting battles.
The flu shot is NOT always about you.
It’s about the people around you — the ones who can’t protect themselves.
I’ve sat in the room as someone took their last breath from influenza.
I’ve seen patients struggling for air.
I’ve done everything I could — warm blankets, Tylenol, nebulizers — just to keep them comfortable as this virus ravaged their body.
Herd immunity is real. Influenza kills. Getting the flu shot should be non-negotiable.
Protect yourself. Protect others.
This is a psyop. They're trying to manipulate through guilt. Don't buy in. We couldn't see our two grandkids for a year and a half because we wouldn't get the jab.
If they feel that strongly, nothing will change their mind. I caught the flu last September when our family went to visit family in Alaska. Six of the 8 of us got it. The youngest slept 24 hours and was fine. I had the worst case. Went to the ER when we returned home. There we learned that they had seen lots of the flu in the months of July and August. They asked when I was vaccinated. I told them I don't take vaccines. Apparently, all the patients they were seeing with the flu had been vaccinated. Hum ...
If only there was any evidence that it works as claimed. There isn’t!
Flu shot efficacy after the fact showing abysmal. Last years flu shot apparently had negative effectiveness in many age groups including children. There are studies that clearly cite that. But those that are indoctrinated with lies believe lies.
Doesn’t seem accidental, at this point.
A lot of what's going on now and in the past 5 years reminds me of the 90s. The Rodney King beating, ensuing riots, OJ acquittal in 1995, and the 1994 Crime Bill.
I heard a Democrat pundit complaining yesterday that the 'Right' is focusing on the Charlotte story because of racism, and then she proceeded to talk about bus seating discrimination during segregation and the decades of "chattel slavery"... Are you all sick of this sort of rationalization yet?
"The World Order sets up countless groups to promote any type of idea, and then sets up other groups to fanatically oppose them, but the masters have no dedication to anything except slavery."

Blacks should be at the front of the bus actually so they they don't kill whites sitting in front of them.
Reparations should involve repatriations.
That pundit can kiss my natural white ass.
Not mine. He might like it.
LOL!
Can you post a few photos of it?
;-)
Too funny AD!
Since long ago.
In 2022, I was accused of being a "racist" because I wouldn't exempt a student from my writing course. The work that the student submitted did not meet the objectives. Not even close.
I was subjected to a trial, told I had to "prove" I wasn't "racist." When I asked what evidence the student supplied that I was "racist," the HR Biddy responded: "SHE doesn't have to provide evidence. ALL THAT MATTERS IS THE WAY YOU MADE HER FEEL."
This BS can't end soon enough. It never should have happened in the first place.
Every white person who took responsibility for black criminality has blood on their hands. Every white person who proclaimed moral superiority by accusing other whites of being "racist" during this idiotic witch hunt should be tarred and feathered.
This Idiot Compassion has hurt more people -- not to mention the black people it has hurt. And the worst part of it is the tyrannical censorship -- just try mentioning black crime stats to these people -- they hiss and claw at the air -- WHY? When they're the next victim waiting in the wings?
The key part of this is in all caps: ALL THAT MATTERS IS THE WAY YOU MADE HER FEEL. I have been rereading Lewis's The Abolition of Man. The first chapter "Men without chests" addresses this issue in the first few paragraphs.
My mentor is continuously telling me "Feelings aren't facts." If we only use our feelings to know something we really know nothing.
They are the textbook definition of "useful idiots", gleefully carrying water for the evil in this world. They are beyond hope at this stage and should be relegated and shunned as such...
What kind of 'allegations' you could have put out there based on 'ALL THAT MATTERS IS THE WAY YOU MADE HER FEEL' rule of fake 'logic'. It seems to me that reversing the tables might not be such a bad idea?
Never mind how I felt being branded a "racist" for doing my job according to objective standards. Not to mention the threat of losing that job.
Never mind the blatant discrimination inherent in that statement. SHE doesn't have to provide evidence. But I was being told to do so.
There was nothing "racist" in the content of the student's grievance whatsoever. It should have been vetted before wasting the time of FOUR PERSONS. The HR Biddy announced at the outset that 2022 had been thus far a "banner year" for complaints of racism.
Wonder why.
Idiot compassion. Been a long time since I have run across that phrase, and it’s a good one.
It is about using their absurdities against them and forcing to respond until the balloon pops.
Objective standards ARE racist. Just like math is racist. Competence & merit are racist.
Private wealth is racist.
We are all helpless, useless, clueless victims of circumstance, doomed to govt dependency. 🙄
Pandering to the mud-people has done extreme damage to this country.
Some European countries are on the brink of civil war because of it... perhaps we soon will be...
Blacks and Hispanics suffer most when Black and Hispanic criminals walk free, because most of them live in Black and Hispanic communities, and inflict most of their crimes on people in their own neighborhoods.
Amen
Man, JC, I am tired of this progressive Epstein D^^^ riding. They act and talk about it like it gets them off sexually.
As for the corporate media, par for the course. The only thing lower than their ratings is their level of journalistic integrity and credibility.
Don't ask me how I know, but.......Happy International Box Wine Day
Question: Is it me, or do all Karens have the same two-tone Karen haircut and wear glasses like the Cracker Barrel CEO?
https://tinyurl.com/mrx6ymwh
I believe your fashion critique of Karens is accurate.
Look in tbe eyes....they all have crazy eyes!
Indeed, they do. They all have those Charles Manson eyes.
At least it is easy to identify the karens to be wary and avoid angry ignorant attacks or... maybe have some fun and push their rainbow buttons.
I have thick and somewhat curly hair that I keep in a bob haircut. I always remind my hairdresser not to let it look like a “Karen” in the back.😂. No offense to any of the awesome Karens here.
If at birth your parents named you “Karen”, you may be entitled to compensation.
It is as bad as what happened to the nickname for Richard. My mother worked for a lawyer named Dick Hunter back in the 70s. Now, he probably wouldn't claim that name professionally unless he was a male "performer."
Or… it would make a great political candidate name for this era of corruption 🤣
Like Dick Chain...ee.
Dick Guzzinia
Thomas Hole
Dick Lichsplitter
It is crude sorry but couldn't resist.
I, or should I say Dawn, has spawned a monster. I can only imagine the names henceforth.
How about the name "Dick Chop" for a doc performing vasectomies! He practices in my home town, actually his full name is Dr. Richard Chop.
Too much funny… still laughing…
How about Dr. Dick Limpskin?
Is he a doctor treating erectile dysfunction? :)
Some name. That would justify a child v parent law suit
Another hahaha.
My sister in law’s name is Karen and she could be the poster child for KAREN 🤦♀️
Hahaha.
SAD, because it can be a really nice haircut when done right.
LOL
This is truly an epic description of the breed. Props to you for keeping it real AND funny af.
Thanks kindly sir.
But you are biased
Do share far and wide
International Box Wine Day? I gotta get me some Thunderbird. What's the price? Forty twice.
Lol don't forget to he grapefruit juice.
Am I aging myself?
That combo will keep you young!
Touche.
Cheers.
In my head, fleeing the scene indicates the perpetrator knows that a wrong was committed. Decarlos fled. He didn’t want to get caught He knew he had broken the law.
Magistrate Stokes allowed this death to occur. She and many others in her position should also be held responsible.
He didn't just flee. He also took off his bloody hoodie so that he would look "normal" when he left the train, as opposed to being covered in the blood of his victim. He isn't crazy. He knew exactly what he was doing.
Did any of you hear in one of the audios one of the other riders on the train say “Don’t get involved”. Was I mistaken in hearing that or was it added by AI or a faker? I seriously heard that on the video where it showed Decarlos walking away but was still inside the traincar and his knife was dripping blood. I do not think the blood was fake , it seemed to clearly drip like blood and stain the car floor. but the voice over could have been fake.
Well she just stoked a firestorm, thats for sure.
Harmeet Dillon announced the DOJ will be investigating racist prosecutors- most likely meaning those that let minority perps walk free.
Why didn't someone throw this POS under the wheels of the train?
Large black man with dreads and a hoodie, wielding a knife...how would you approach him to throw him under the train. Only a good guy with a gun would have stopped him.
I’ve wondered that too. What about all the people who witnessed this??
No one stepped up to assist? Who else rides that train, brain dead zombies? It seems like it's past time for some frontier justice and vigilance, against the perpetrators and those who enable them: “elite” leftist dems.
What a nightmare 🤦♀️ I wonder what the security footage showed AFTER the attack?…just saw Rod Dreher is doing some good coverage on this story today.
The dems and complicit media have attempted to keep this story outta the news. I hope they all go to hell.

Jeff, have you seen the recent study on colon cancer in younger adults that they’re claiming comes from “e-coli” they got as a kid? *rolling eyes*
I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that the Covid vaccines used e-coil to grow.
https://publichealthpolicyjournal.com/dna-contamination-in-vaccines-what-is-it-and-why-does-it-matter/
exactly, anything but the jabs.
Sadly this expression seems never to go out of style….but eventually, there is a gaping and very visible Vaxx-Sized hole that most people can see.
And somehow, Stage 4 is the new Stage 1.
If you commit a violent crime, it’s your fault. Period. The end! You should be locked up, no bail. It doesn’t matter if you have a mental health issue. Studies have shown repeatedly that multiple violent crime acts eventually lead to murder when the perpetrator notices that he never faces consequences.
He wasn't that crazy. He knew enough to flee.
“Mental illness” definitions have been really dumbed down too to justify letting someone off easily from a crime, at the same time the mental illness of living your life as the gender you are not is considered normal by the psychological authorities. When things make so little sense, they are evil from the devil.
Murder is a symptom of mental illness, and the idea that courts allow ‘temporary insanity’ to be considered a legal defense is absurd. anybody who does anything like what this man did is obviously insane and should be put to death in order to rid our neighborhoods of the trash.
… any sympathy for a man like this may end up with you shedding your blood for his sake
If someone is found not guilty by reason of insanity then he needs to be locked up in an Insane asylum. Too bad they have all been closed.
It's black and white. Did it or didn't do it. Motive doesn't matter.
As Matt Taibbi reminded us yesterday, Dostoevsky perfectly described the left’s current depravity/absence of any moral compass: “when God is dead, everything is permitted.“ This is where we are.
“We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.”
2 Corinthians 4:8-9
It is so difficult to live in this society. Amidst all this evil and depravity, I await God’s ultimate victory.
IF "God" was the ultimate power in the universe... why would there even be a fight?
I hear more excuses for "God's" lack of interventions to help or save those "he so loved" than I do for low IQ violent black animals.
You have an excellent point there, dude, and it actually proves that God is not ruling this world right now, else there would be no fight. I’m not saying he’s not the ultimate power in the universe. I’m simply saying that he’s sitting back and watching the Christians, Jews, and Muslims, all claiming to believe in God and yet living their lives as though God did not exist.
… God’s just sitting back and watching evil rule this world (and sometimes I think he just laughs at how stupid some people are)
Thanks, JD... I have been reading "I Contain Multitudes" and "Fingerprints of the Gods" and am pretty well convinced that none of the current "religions" have the truth.
Allow me to strengthen your conviction there dude. I’m acquainted with a book written by a brilliant man, Christopher Hitchens, a man that claimed to be an atheist, although I don’t know how those two terms go together. It seems to me that you can no more prove that God does not exist as you can prove that he does exist. But, the man was brilliant, I’ll give him that. He wrote a book that he mistakenly titled; ‘God is Not Great’, with this subtitle; “how religion poisons everything”. You see what I mean about his claim to be an atheist, here he’s talking about how God is not great as though God exists. I think agnostic was the correct term to describe him, but nonetheless, as far as his title goes and his subtitle, he’s wrong about God, but he’s absolutely correct about religion.
His mistake was in thinking that God has anything to do with any of man’s religions
… he doesn’t, but you couldn’t convince any of them of that
I agree, Hitchens was a great man. And that "agnostic" is probably a better descriptor.
IMO, none of us know anything about "God"... though MANY claim to know all about it/him/her.
Judging from the current state of the world, IMO Hitchens is correct, in that all of the man-made "Gods" in all religions, are not great... in fact, one might claim them to be sadistic, racist, craven, vicious, shallow and vengeful.
Even the pompous, bloviating "christians" here would have to admit they all live under the treat of eternal damnation and eternal agony, if they step far enough out of line or fail to say the magic words.
Imagine a "Creator" doing that to his own children, whom HE designed... all flaws included. Horrifying.
Good thing God is not dead and we will not permit everything. A reckoning for good has come.
Let's hope so.
Good morning C & C, it was wonderful watching President Trump yesterday and praying with the pastor. Lets keep praying that God will smile on our nation again, and that people will repent from their sins. Thank you Jeff for the great update.
I appreciate Jeff's breakdown about the killer.
If you frame every negative thing that happens to a black person as racism from childhood up, how is he or she to know the difference? I'm raising children who are black and I've thought carefully about how differently they might view ordinary wrongs of childhood coming from their peers if they were told it was racism rather than children being selfish as children will sometimes be. It's a pretty cruel thing to put a racism framework upon a child and not teach them the reality of what human sinfulness is, how it effects everyone. If I saw clear racism, of course I would address it, but there's been so little, and it's far better that my children recognize both their own and others selfishness as harmful forces in the world and that they have not been targeted for their skin color.
Early in my teaching career, I had a black girl who would say to me...."u r mixed Miss Lee, I know you are....you are mixed." She loved me and knew I loved her. That was back 30 years ago when we taught everyone is the same just shades of brown. There wouldn't be racism if they weren't creating it.
It’s gotten bad enough that otherwise smart people claim that differential poverty rates of blacks vs. whites is proof of racism. It’s pretty easy to just say that’s due to most kids growing up in a home with only a mother present. One earner - less income. It also brings in the illegitimacy angle. The other person probably thinks I’m a RACIST for saying this, but these are the same people that think every white person is a racist anyway.
It is culture not color..look up the cat's substack
