Covid vixen links CDC shooting to RFK while rewriting her pandemic record; NYT hints big vaccine fight, admits system’s broken; wall builds; Trump boots DC vagrants, eyes federal LEO takeover; more.
"Last Friday afternoon, 30-year-old Patrick Joseph White riddled the CDC’s Atlanta campus with more than 40 bullet holes, killing DeKalb County police officer David Rose — a 33-year-old former Marine and expectant father"
It might have already been mentioned, but any interest in the group of starting a fund for the officer's family (as well as the pending arrival of a newborn)?
Police officers killed in the line of duty are well taken care of financially. thank goodness. although I’m sure they will create a go fund me in addition to.
The King James Version of the Gospel of Luke, 2:14, tells us that the angels proclaimed,
“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.”
This has been revised, for example in the New International Version, to read,
"Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests."
Those predisposed to war and empire will prefer this revision, which may in their view give them Divine permission to slaughter people whom God does not “favor.”
Indeed. The Messiah came to His own first in Israel and then, with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, to all nations. As seen by His reception in Israel where he was rejected by the religious establishment, it is up to the people rather or not to accept Him. When Pilate asked Jesus if He was the king of the Jews, Jesus answered, “My Kingdom is not of this world. If My Kingdom were of this world, then would My servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews..."
The implicit idea that the Lord's "favor" on a specific people is license to kill those not so favored is anathema to everything Christ taught. Such behavior will be judged by the King who now sits on His throne at the right hand of the Father as the judge over all the earth and history.
I really do agree with this. But I also agree that each one of us, nations included, have a right to defend ourselves from those who wish to use their own religion to grab a license to “wipe from the face of the earth” all those who are identified as Israel. It works both ways.
“The kings of the earth, and all the inhabitants of the world, would not have believed that the adversary and the enemy should have entered into the gates of Jerusalem.”
The LORD has accomplished His wrath; He has poured out His fierce anger; He has kindled a fire in Zion, and it has consumed her foundations.
But this was for the sins of her prophets and the guilt of her priests, who shed the blood of the righteous in her midst.… Lam4:12,11,13
According to the book, if we were obedient to God‘s voice, we wouldn’t have to worry about anybody attacking America
… the same is true for Israel
… or any of the Catholic/Christian countries in this world
I agree we all "have a right to defend ourselves" from actual attack. But we do not have a right to attack someone else because we are afraid of their beliefs, even if YOU believe they want to “wipe (you) from the face of the earth”. Your definition of "defend" seems to go beyond defense and enters the prohibition of The Sixth Commandment against murder.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the King James Version Bible, but for those who prefer the KJV over any other, may I remind you that there is not a single J in the original 1611 version. No Jeremiah, no Joshua, no Jesus. There were also 81 books in the original version, not 66. You’re reading a modern REVISION of the original 1611 translation. My point is, as with science and just about everything else in life, including the Bible we know and love today, nothing is as you think it is.
Well, old English is definitely spelled differently than today. I have a copy of the 1599 Geneva Bible which predates KJ and was first published in 1560.
Phil - when the Holy Spirit was poured out at Pentecost, these were mostly God-fearing Jews who had come to Jerusalem from other nations Acts 2:5 It was through these Jewish Apostles that the gospel was preached to the gentiles.
It seems that you believe that if God's favor in not upon a certain ppl, then others have a license to harm them. However, that is not the gospel at all. Jesus specifically says to love God above all, and love you Neighbor as yourself. So because I LOVE GOD ABOVE ALL, I WILL NOT SEEK MY NEIGHBOR's harm.... and I live in the midst of what anyone would call the United Nations.... Asians, Middle Eastern, Europeans, Hispanics, etc. When one is taught that ALL life is precious and created by ONE God, then life is respected and nourished. That is not the case with cultures that teach their little ones to HATE others from the time they can breathe... that is child abuse and pure EVIL
Concerned Mom, I think you must have read my comment too fast. I am in total agreement with you. I couldn't agree with you more. Read my comment again and see if you misread it.
And you are right about Pentecost. It was the pouring out of the Holy Spirit into the body of Christ on earth that empowered them to bring the gospel to the gentiles thus fulfilling the "Great Commission" to go and disciple the nations.
Your second version of Luke 2:14 is not a revision. That translation is well-attested by the ancient manuscripts and supported by all of the earliest sources. I, personally, believe this reading is correct, because God is a just judge. His favor rests on those who obey his Law and accept his Anointed One. I can’t imagine his favor would rest on those who flout his Law or spit in the face of the Savior. To suggest otherwise is to suggest that God doesn’t care how anybody acts or how they believe. That doesn’t fit any definition of justice.
I agree. I don’t think the version is wrong either. But twisting the words to fit one’s narrative is. I do believe His favor rests on those who accept Christ and walk in His will. Using this verse to wage war is simply an excuse to wage war.
What you say is absolutely correct. I have no problem using the NIV version of "and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests" as long as it is understood in the context of the rest of Scripture.
Your statements are correct but I do not believe that is the subject of this text. The context for the heavenly host praising God in v.14 is the preceding passage in verses (emphasis mine)...
10 And the angel said unto them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to ALL PEOPLE.
11 For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
The subject of verse 14 is not God's judgement or those deserving of His "favor". This verse is referencing God's sovereign grace offer of redemption to ALL mankind through the life of His incarnate Son who will be sacrificed for their rebellion. So, technically speaking, the KJV of "and on earth peace, good will toward men" is accurate. God's "good will" is offered to all men. It is up to men to accept His offer of salvation... or not. This is the meaning given in verse 11, a Savior offered for ALL PEOPLE.
I am reading the OT again and the Jews keep messing up yet God continues to show them favor over and over if they will just repent and get back on track. The whole OT is about this over and over and over. I should have started counting how many times the Jewish nation turned against God. It is exhausting. And then what they did in the NT with Jesus. They don't learn and play repeat ad nauseum. God has the patience of a Saint.
Ok, when I read your comment I got the impression you were saying, or at least implying that obeying "the law" is required for salvation. Did I misunderstand your comment? Thanks!
Thousands in Israel march against Netanyahu’s plan to escalate Gaza war
Families of hostages were among the protesters amid new fears over the 50 remaining captives, with 20 of them thought to be alive, held by Hamas.
Tucker: It’s important to remember that criticizing the Israeli government is not the same as scorning the people of Israel. Just like how millions of Americans hated George Bush’s Iraq invasion, many Israelis are not on board with Benjamin Netanyahu’s “military operation” in Gaza. This story proves it.
Tens of thousands of demonstrators took to Israel’s streets to protest their leaders’ plan to seize Gaza City over the weekend, demanding an immediate end to the aggression that much of Europe believes will worsen the region’s already “catastrophic humanitarian situation.” Other countries are also condemning the plan, with Egypt, Turkey, and others calling it a “dangerous and unacceptable escalation” and Russia saying it will aggravate Gaza’s “already extremely dramatic situation.”
Will the United States, the country that portrays itself as the world’s beacon of morality, do anything to stop Netanyahu’s land grab? We’re not betting on it.
Exactly. And for those who try to draw a comparison, these people were all kidnapped by Hamas (which includes supposed "civilians") and continue to be starved and tortured. Israel does not starve and torture its prisoners regardless of how evil they are, and also does not kidnap innocent babies, children, women and even holocaust survivors).
Those are some of the names frothing war hawk Mark Levin hurled at Marjorie Taylor Greene over the weekend, lambasting the lawmaker for daring to think the United States Congress should not serve as a wing of the Israeli government. And he didn’t stop there.
Levin, who should probably find some new ways to spend his free time, also blasted X users who disagree with his Israel First extremism. He called them morons, bigots, pricks, pigs, and even accused one of hating America. Take a look at the thread here and ask yourself if Levin seems stable enough to host a national TV show. The answer is obvious.
Greene responded to the attack by calling Levin a “raging psychopath” who “is 100% Israel FIRST and America LAST!!!” That’s exactly right.
Greene responded to the attack by calling Levin a “raging psychopath” who “is 100% Israel FIRST and America LAST!!!” That’s exactly right.
Margorie is totally right. And this is what I tell Trump at the White House site. It is either Israel First or America First. You can't have both without shattering your base.
It also, by the way, is either Israel First or Christ First. And you can't have it either two ways or co-equal. And that is why Christian Zionists are compromised and apostate Christianity.
We are dealing with the consequences of the brilliant plan by the rulers of this world to reestablish Israel as a nation on top of people that had been living on that land for 2000 years. I believe that in 1948 they knew exactly what was gonna happen when they did that, and they justified it on the backs of 6 million people who were sacrificed in Germany
Two Furies the other day predictably brought out the 'Jew Hater anti-Semite' cannon, pointed it at me and pulled the trigger without batting an eyelash. Why? For pointing out that genocide should not be funded by United States.
Israel is now demonstratively not 'our best ally' ... not anywhere. And by this time this statement hardly takes any boldness whatsoever in the saying. Instead, Israel is a world class blood-sucking looter which has taken effective control of all levels of government in the United States. Fortunately, this fact has been increasingly exposed and Americans truly want to take their governments back, and not just from Israel ... but also from the MIC and the Corporatized Public/Private partnership and its sister, the grant money complex. To do IS America First for America and Americans.
We are just plain sick of everything here in the US being run recklessly into the ground and our hard earned money being stolen from us every hour and minute, day in and day out. We are just totally fed up with being looted, our lives destroyed ... our industry and means of existence ground up and vaporized ... and simply 'given away' to foreign powers for 'pieces of silver'.
Okay! That I am enraged at this state of affairs is obvious. But I am now seeing that the younger generations in our country are more so pissed. And if I were them, I'd be totally livid beyond description.
I was quite surprised to hear on Tucker that US citizen Jonathan Pollard spied on the US for Israel, and then Israel sold the US secrets to the Soviet Union in exchange for Jews.
This does not sounds like the action of an "ally" at all.
And then there's the USS Liberty incident of 1967, where Israel killed a lot of US sailors.
US taxpayers should not be funding such a country.
And you are a bastard antisemite who should rot in hell. Two furies aren’t enough for a piece of shit like you. Go suck Tucker’s antisemitic dick or find some Islamic piece of shit to hang on to. Go back under your rock, jerk.
I am reminded of the last generation of young people that got pissed off - 50 years ago when I was a youngster and the youth turned out in protest of the Vietnam War draft.
Today, young people cannot even afford to start a family and buy a small house. Jobs and money has been sent overseas to the impoverishment of the American people, most especially the younger generation we are counting on to build this country. Their level of frustration and anger has yet to be measured.
They should march against Net. And we should help put an end to it. Having said that, this shit has gone of for years bc neither side will budge. I am thinking there will never be peace there.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the King James Version Bible, but for those who prefer the KJV over any other, may I remind you that there is not a single J in the original 1611 version. No Jeremiah, no Joshua, no Jesus. There were also 81 books in the original version, not 66. You’re reading a modern REVISION of the original 1611 translation. My point is, as with science and just about everything else in life, including the Bible we know and love today, nothing is as you think it is.
Koine Greek (not the same as contemporary Greek any more than American English is the same as "King James Bible" English) is one of the languages of the Bible. There's also Hebrew and Aramaic.
There are many, many “foremost“ scholars of the Bible, and there have been for thousands of years. The problem is, all of them bring pre-existing biases and differing levels of scholarship to their interpretations and translations. That is precisely why there are over 400 different translations of the Bible in English. That’s not a criticism, it just a reality.
The KJV is a good translation, but it’s not without its problems. Deuteronomy 32:8 is a perfect example. The KJV reads “sons of Israel,” which makes no sense because Israel did not yet exist in the Table of Nations that is being referenced.
The reason the KJV reads this way is because the committee of KJV translators used the Masoretic Text for their translation which dates from 600-900 AD, whereas the Dead Sea Scrolls from 300-100 BC say, “sons of God,” and the Septuagint from the mid-200s BC says, “angels of God.”
Incidentally, the Bible that Yeshua and his Disciples read, studied and quoted from was the Septuagint.
We all bring pre-existing biases and levels of understanding and intelligence to everything we believe. It can’t be helped. We’re born into a false paradigm and get unintentionally blue-pilled from the moment we’re born. That’s because the Earth is under the control of the Devil and the whole world is deceived by him (Rev. 12:9).
It is only our faith in Yeshua and our Berean-like study of the Scriptures (Acts 17:11) that unwraps the chains around us and brings us into the light of Truth. PS: The Scriptures that the Bereans studied so meticulously were the Septuagint.
I no longer use the NIV. Much better translations are available. It was revised in 1982 and isn’t the same. The New King James, the Passion Translation, the Amplified Version are just a few of my favorites.
It is the same with law dictionaries. I use Black's 1910 and Bouvier mid-19th century.
'They' are 'revising' us out of our ancient traditions, habits and customs in order to re-program us out of our natural self-identities as determined by us and not them. The Soviets did the same thing, only the Marxist West does it better than the Soviets. All of Marxism erases and/or warps history beyond recognition.
"Among men of good will" is arguably the best translation. The NIV version is not a strict translation but rather is a theological interpretation and as such is misleading.
Here is a consideration that the faithful readers of the New Testament should take seriously; they should understand that every book or letter contained in the New Testament was written before there was a New Testament!
When Jesus referred to ‘scripture’, he was only talking about what we call the Old Testament, and any reference to ‘scripture’ used in the New Testament, in the same manner that Jesus used the word, has got to be referring only to the Old Testament because there was no New Testament yet!
So the reference to scripture in Timothy and in Peter was referring to the Old Testament, and couldn’t have possibly been referring to the New Testament
The church tried to burn Wycliffe for translating the book, but he died before they got him, so 15 years after his death, they dug up his bones and burnt them!
Another interesting factoid; the church was the largest purchaser of thousands of bibles printed on that new Gutenberg printing press, and they burnt them too!
And in 1553, the church, using John Calvin in cooperation with the government of Geneva, burnt Michael Servetus to death at the stake simply because he disagreed with one of the doctrines of the men that led the church. Today there are 2 1/2 billion people on this planet who have joined their member to the Catholic/Christian church without any knowledge of the history of who they are getting in bed with.
John Calvin was a murderer and half of the Christian church are following his teachings still today.
… I can only think it’s because they don’t know the history of their church leaders
… or maybe they think that it’s impossible for them to be deceived
Well - when we were growing up there were also a lot less axes to grind. They were still biased, but not quite as bad as they are today. Probably didn't help that "the news" was whatever made it to the big 3 and they'd get a lot of flak from a good portion of the country for overt bias. Now we have alternatives so .....
Same here 'growing up'. That's the channel my conservative parents chose. I remember at one point in my late teens watching ABC and CBS news coverage. They were way worse, more biased.
Yep, the Huntley-Brinkley Report. I liked them, and at that time NBC was less biased than ABC or CBS, though I also watched them too. I was a confirmed "news junkie". I also read the three major weekly news magazines.
re: "We aren’t going to let them oil out. Not this time."
I want to bring this discussion back to Celine Gounder. Jeff described her as the worst of the worst. I couldn't agree more. An un-elected bureaucrat who caused profound damage to the American population, from forcing jabs of poison to stealing our natural rights.
Un-elected bureaucrats like Gounder need to be prosecuted to the maximum extent of the law. This is pelosisaurus' and the uni-party's "Democracy" in action. Its actually institutional democracy - meaning they (uniparty) create these corrupt deep state organizations with our tax dollars and then the organizations put unaccountable criminals like Gounder in power over us to tell us to "follow the science" and be prosecuted if we dont. This MUST stop if the American people shall ever have our government back. President Trump's defunding is a huge part of restoring our country, but these people who conducted this crime against humanity must be punished!
re; "We who adhere to the classic American ideal of freedom of movement are the frogs in this slow-boiling scenario."
As I have repeatedly said on C&C and elsewhere. If they take our mobility from us, they take our freedom - there must always be a fail-safe method to take control of an autonomous vehicle. This is very dangerous and I thank Jeff Childers for keeping the spotlight on this. Imagine a situation where the next Resident Autopen, reacting to another created crisis like the pLandemic or "climate change", creates a mandatory rule which requires all autonomous vehicles to seize moving...
I have been saying this for at least two years now. The push for bike lanes all over every city is part of that plan. It’s much easier to control the movement of someone on a bicycle than in a car. Even if it’s one of those stupid electric bikes, you can’t get as far or as fast on them as in a car, nor are you as protected.
Exactly true. The bike lanes and the electric bikes are all part of the "15 minute" cities the globalists, through the corrupt uniparty and Institutional Democracy, want us locked down to, fully subjected to their will over us.
We have bike lanes even in north central Massachusetts, and we rarely see any bicycles using them. Bike lanes also don't work in New England for at least 5 months out of the year (Nov-March).
On a side note, my account on X was summarily deleted last night, without a justification. It occurred immediately after my posting about the STL Cardinals beating the Cubs in their ball game last night.
My post, "How about those @Cardinals beating that @cubs ass?! And a series win too! Feed the Bird Motherfuckers!"
Okay, does that deserve to cause my account to be deleted? Not the nicest words but pretty much the common vernacular today, same words used by the lefties all the time on X.
I agree. X still has a strong undercurrent of woke-corporate censorship.
And Grok still shills the mRNA death jabs for Pfizer, which is sad, and dangerous to our health.
I was banned four times, but gave up re-registering after a while, then found one of my accounts was reinstated without any explanation. So I use X a bit, but won't put any real effort into posting on X anymore. It's just not trustworthy, even under Elon.
The main reforms needed are:
1. perhaps banning individual tweets (such as those calling for violence) until the author edits them, but financially guaranteeing to users that whole accounts will NEVER be banned.
2. fixing Grok to always tell the truth about the millions dead from the mandated mRNA.
I agree Patrick, I was a "Blue Checker" paying them money each month, now my account is gone, up in thin air.. will they still be charging me? I'm not even sure how to raise the issue but I will try through their contacts.
I'm sure it was likely some pissed off, deep cover lefty and cubs fan still employed by X. Im sure they used as their justification my statement about "beating that cubs ass" as calling for violence.
Ban a tweet okay, fine, but ban/DELETE the account especially a paying account is complete bullshit.
I used to be a life long Cardinals fan, watched many Cubs/Cards series. Was that game in St Louis? I stopped watching the Cardinals and all of baseball in 2020 after they decided to bow down and worship at the alter of a criminal and the terrorist group BLM. I sold all my Cards memorabilia on eBay. Good riddance.
The game yesterday? Yes, it was in "The Lou" at Busch #3! Actually, was a great game, came right down to the bastard cubbies last grounder! The Birds are the only pro team I still hold on to, having long ago given up on the rotten NFL and even more rotten NBA. I just can't seem to cut the cord with them. I've always loved the Redbirds. But they are going to do something stupid, beyond their not very good brand of baseball and likely something from the lunatic, delusional left, and I will finally kick them and concentrate on golf and the Ryder Cup!
Speaking as a Cub fan I’d like to yell at you but not delete you account. Again, as a Cubs fan they suck in just about every aspect of the game and if they don’t stop soon they will have tanked their season. The only good thing about this is they won’t be able to ding me for a whole set of playoff tix and then lose in the first round.
LOL, thanks for the honest response Mary. You know, being honest, I responded so negatively because a cubs fan has said something really vile on X the last time the two clubs got together a few weeks ago and the cubs won. So I will always "counter punch" and did. Anyhow X is supposed to allow for a two way conversation but I guess only if you are a cubs fan and/or a DBL???
It's one of the great rivalries in MLB and the fans surely despise each other as much as the two teams. I mean I really hate the cubs but probably more so because of their fans, or at least some of their fans. FTR, I am not throwing you in the category of reprehensible, reprobate, retarded cubs fan. :-) You are cool and I understand your frustration with the team, which I am equally frustrated with the Redbirds. I guess the bastards have us exactly where they want us?? Anyhow we are all playing for 2d and 3d as the bastards from Milwaukee are streaking big time.
I've been to Wrigley one time probably 5 years ago, Cards v Cubs of course. Cubs won on a 9th inning fielding play which saved their bacon, damnit!
The two teams have one more series late in the season. You can bet I will be rooting hard for my "Birds on a Bat" and I hope they beat that cubs ass again! lol I know you will be hoping the same for my Redbirds, that they beat that cubs ass, right??? lol I hear you about not getting dinged for tix, I recently took my 92 year old mom to a Cards game against the D'backs. $260 on tickets, $17 for one can of brew, and $26 for two hotdogs and a bag of fries! $300 and the Cards got their asses beat! UGH!
Oh, PS, I feel sorry for you having to live in Chicago and especially being MAGA as you appear to be - GOOD on YOU!! Just be careful about running into a smollett! They seem to be all over the place in Chi. :-)
It is absolutely fascinating! If you believe his presentation, we have been lied to on what causes Myocardial Infarction (Heart Attack). We've been told it is because of arterial disease from narrowing and blockages. He essential says non-sense, the heart automatically reroutes around blockages and we dont need those ultra expensive stent insertions, etc., but the Docs sure love them....
He says "Large, stable blockages – those over 90% – are in almost 100% of the cases completely compensated by collateral blood vessels." The pain associated with MI is not from the blocked artery - which has already been compensated by the vast network of arteries and veins in the heart - is from an entirely different part of the body from the kidneys and their adrenal glands. Im not going to completely steal his thunder but damn, everyone really needs to read his website. Now, yes, he claims that the extract from Strophanthus, actually prevents the pain from Angina and MI!!! Because of how it works in the adrenals.
If this is true, think what it says about all the Docs who have lied to us and inserted stents, etc instead of treating the real problem!!!
Not in the movie, but one researcher said something to the effect of: The only people that had heart disease absent of diabetes were people that had not yet been diagnosed with diabetes.
And here is where we can check the reasoning ability of our MDs:
If statins are the highest grossing drug of all time, shouldn't we be having a lot less people with heart disease?
IMO, she knows what killed her husband (I wrote to her, encouraging her to speak out), and seems to have gone from being a staff physician to some pretty cushy positions.
Follow THE Science: Why use the definite article? Is there only one science? And what is meant by "Follow" it? I might if I first learn that this science is headed to the place that I want to go and it has been there before so already knows the way. Otherwise, I'm going to wait right here. Call me when you get where you are going and tell me how it is. I might not even want to go there anymore.
Possibly, I'm misunderstanding the sentence completely because they omitted the important word: Method. Follow the Science Method is a reasonable thing to suggest, though in truth even that may not be the best method considering historical results. Instead, I would probably still follow Jesus and if He happens to be headed that direction we can chat along the way.
Making Calls: Sometimes I think instead of concentrating on our feckless 'representatives' we should put our efforts into calling these fake news outlets. We could ask if they intend or making retractions or errattas to their incorrect news stories. Then we could make our own 'news' stories about how they 'failed to return our call before deadline' or 'declined to comment.'
Possible Questions include:
1. Was it a lie of omission when you neglected to include the rest of the story?
2. If it wasn't a lie, then do you plan on re-training your reporters and editors on getting their facts straight?
3. How many times have you been sued for false reporting?
4. Do you receive any funds from Government or NGOs?
4a. This would include any overpriced "subscriptions"
5. Given your slanted 'reporting' do you think this practice breaks illegal campaign finance or bribery laws?
True story. Unfortunately, the low pay relative to cost of living follows the profession. I lived in a town in Alabama where the greatest perk for the Chief of police was getting the first pick of side-jobs.
Police when they are in their jurisdiction are always police. They are on duty/off duty, but they are still police. Most, are required to be armed 24/7. If something happens where they have to take police action (that's part of the job, too), then they instantly revert to on duty status. Thus, the officer who was murdered gets full honors and all benefits for his family. "moonlighting" is not an accurate description. He was working an off duty job.
most jurisdictions - officers go from off duty to on duty the moment something happens where they need to take police action. Doesn't matter if they are having dinner in a restaurant or working a security detail. They are never NOT a police officer.
I understand that his family will be cared for. Working as a DeKalb police officer on that day, at that site and getting shot/killed is significant to me. No need to argue with me on my opinion.
Had a friend in the Dominican Republic (really close there) and they said that the whole "pandemic" wasn't affecting them because they were open windows/doors and outside all the time with lots of sun. :)
Those factors shouldn't be overlooked or underestimated. Unfortunately, the US has a whole half of the country that can't do that for 4-5 months out of the year.
Does Haiti have malaria or parasite problems? Do they take Ivermectin or similar regularly? That was another common defense who's name we cannot say. And the Amish - no TV's inoculated them!
I guess I should watch more "news" somewhere, I didn't know any of the facts about the CDC shooting, but just as well I learned them here first. Of course "they" would blame RFK Jr., he is a crazy anti-vaxxer, in their warped opinion. That's very sad that the young man was so adversely affected by the vaxx, and even sadder he took the life of an innocent man. And Dr. Gounder refuses to acknowledge, or even consider, the facts about the deadly vaxx, and her role in the covid hoax.
But thankfully the people and common sense are prevailing presently. I hope this includes some historic move in DC today by Trump.
I hope but every now and then I venture out of my self created and imposed "happy bubble" (ie, no idiots allowed) and run into total idiocy. Yesterday one woman went back to the " you must mask outside and if you don't, " danger, danger Will Robinson". And then there was the climate nut that started screeching about having to rip out pinot vines due to global warming. So much for common sense. It is, as I feared, all too uncommon. And this is in Idaho!
Please keep Idaho sane. I'm planning to move there in about two years, and I promise, cross my heart, that even though my husband and I have lived most of our lives in California and Washington, we will be bringing only conservative values with us.
We spend a lot of time in N Idaho & have met many from California. Not one has brought their liberal policies with them. Its very interesting. All seem to appreciate how nice life is when law & order is enforced & government stays out of lives of law abiding citizens. Not to mention much lower property taxes. Although they should abolish all property’s taxes everywhere.
I laughed out loud at my desk reading “self created and imposed happy bubble (ie, no idiots allowed)”———same here Pat! I’m just DONE with all of it. The happy idiot-free bubble is like a warm hug.
As someone who has liven in Eagle for several years I can testify to the fact that people here were, in general, were more sane (conservative). The issue is always the same everywhere. liberal or progressive attitudes and their inevitable actions is the definition of "mission creep", as in all neighborhoods that harbor loons. it's still relatively calm here but my advice is "stay strapped" like most residents do. It is the best deterrent!
I too reside in Idaho. It is way more sane here than where we moved from. I do see attempts at the left trying to influence culture here but pray it does NOT gain ground.
Pat, I was depositing a check for my daughter today and on the door of her bank it warned, no hats, no hoods, no sunglasses (no guns obviously), and above that sign it said, "masks optional" ...no hat but you can cover your face!🤣
I don't think he was actually made mentally ill by the vax. the issue is probably more how SSRIs damped your "superego" and can lead to impulsive or violent behavior with no consideration of repercussions
I've heard if a lot of people who are struggling with mental illness after the vaxx as well as with long covid. I think it is harder to see.....mental disabilities often are. But, I have no doubt the vaxx has caused a tremendous amount of illness and destruction.....not just physical but mental as well. When something impacts how your body functions, it impacts the brain as well. If you are predisposed to mental health issues, it can land there.
My poor dad is having huge anxiety and insomnia problems, otherwise healthy at almost 93. They have him so drugged up right now, doxaphin and zolof that I am not allowed to visit for two weeks. Yesterday morning he took an extra dose!!!
I live 5 hours away. Yes, I do cause anxiety because I question all this stuff and I tell my dad to not watch the Seattle news, and David Muir, but luckily they love Jesse on FOX as they are lifelong conservatives.
Their doctor told them the shots were safe so they took the first two and one booster, I had a fit, but they do agree that the shots were bad. They are also flu shot devotees. When I told him the flu shots were 34% effective this last year he asked ‘but what if I get the flu’?
My dad worries about the future of our country, for me, for my brother and his two grown sons too.
He has the weight of the world on his shoulders, and his doc told him to quit watching the news, and is seeing so much anxiety in his (mostly older) patients. Of course the doc won’t accept the info from the guy on X. A financial guy? I checked the initials after his name. Numbers guys are smart!
Ed Dowd, the super duper numbers guy who used to work for a hedge fund, was one of the canaries in the coal mine in regard to the harms from the covid shots.
I read of a study somewhere that concluded that psychosis was one of the side effects of the shot. After watching videos on YouTube about traffic stops that turn into felonies and the reaction of the drivers to the police attempting to remove them from the car and handcuff them, we could verify this conclusion if we were to know the psychotic driver’s vaccine history.
… I would bet that they are all recipients of this ‘effective’ shot
He is not but I am now anti vax as they are poison. Down with all jabs now and forever. We will not be poisoned via injection again. And so called docs like grounder need to shut up and learn the facts on how she helped kill her husband by encouraging him to get jabbed. Perhaps she is the one who jabbed him herself.
Lori, to be clear, I am now a firm and adamant antivaxxer, and proud to say so. Vaccines have no redeeming value, and are worthless and ineffective. The vaccine industry is just that, an industry that has compromised the health of millions with their lies and bribes.
I too am a new convert. I was blind and gullible throughout my life and raising my kids. No words can describe the guilt I carry each day over not being properly aware for the sake of my children. I was one of those people afraid to be a conspiracy fool, blindly believing a doctor or pediatrician would never lie to me. Now I don tinfoil clothing and headwear with pride. I doubt the sanity of anyone unwilling to wear a tinfoil hat.
Unfortunately, if they ever COULD come out with a protective shot with no serious side effects I’ll never take it now. The damage they wrought goes so far into the future it’s mind blowing. But worst of all are the lives they willingly killed prior to today, because so many like me were complacent and ignorant. I can’t help feeling partly responsible and belonging to a collective idiocy.
Guilt: My heart goes out to you on that JuJu. I too suffer from this same guilt. It also caused some dissension with mine when I learned the truth about so many things. Even though I had been privy to so many things like statins, fluoride, and sugar, I wasn't there with the vaccines until C-1984. Now my boys are in college and I probably seem like a lunatic to them.
Yes, they burned the credibility of the CDC, FDA, and NIH to the ground, and then made the area into a latrine.
Fauci and Hotez are pretty much at the top of culpability there.
Until there are trials and hangings for the mRNA mandates, which were worst crime against humanity ever, no one should have the slightest trust in anything coming out of the medical establishment. They WILL medically murder you on command. They've proven that.
At first I was just against the mRNA jab because I know one person who died from it and three with heart problems after taking it.
But then I found a lot of evidence that SIDS is also mostly a result of vaccination. Eg the SIDS rate fell a lot during the lockdowns when parents couldn't bring in their kids.
And the vaxx companies know it, so they try to scatter the SIDS deaths rather than have them concentrated in one geography:
Me too!! I never considered SIDS was anything but terrible luck until “they” started calling heart attacks and other sudden deaths in youngish populations SADS. Thats when I went down a long, terrible rabbit hole and came out an antivaxxer.
Yes it is causing SIDS but they go after the parents instead, beyond vile. I have a friend who just had her tongue cut out bc of turbo cancer from jab, her husband now has heart probs after jab, another acquaintance passed one week after jab. Beyond the pale.
Evolution? - But evolution is complete nonsense. They have spent countless tax dollars trying to prove their stupid non-theory and still have absolutely nothing of any value except for creating a bunch of eugenics proponents and feeding fire of racism with 'scientific' acknowledgement. I encourage everyone to read some of the comments from the more than one thousand actual scientists that have signed the "Dissent from Darwinism" statement.
This worldview leads nowhere good. "Let us reason together:" Anyone that believes God created humans that evolved from other species or even that physically change over time into superior versions of humans are by the original definition of the word: Racists. You simply can't have "Survival of the Fittest" without have the "Naturally less fit for survival."
This worldview also inexorably leads to unreasonable conclusions because non-evolutionary conclusions are either not considered, or consideration stops once an evolutionary take is accepted. Consider viruses and the ever fear inducing "super bug." Which is the more reasonable conclusion: 1. Bad bacteria have evolved a resistance to antibiotics. 2. The human immune system is so much depleted that even with the help of antibiotics it is not enough to fight off the infection.
If you accept the first, you are left with trying more and varied ways to kill off the biom, good or bad.
If you accept the second possibility, you seek ways to 1.) stop the decline of the immune system and 2.) look for methods to improve the immune system instead of tricking it into attacking the body it tries to protect.
Good points. By "evolution," I think my friend means lessons learned from years of trial and error. Anyway, she'll appreciate your thoughtful comment. Thanks.
I first read about this on X and was shocked at the amount of posts painting RFKJr as who is to blame and the attacks on anti-vaxxers. I wish there were an easy way to get more people to read Jeff’s reporting. The lies are dominating even X, and any rebuttals I post land like a lump of wet mud out of the gate given I’m a nobody account, probably purposefully censored in some way too. (I forget the word that describes having your posts buried and hidden from views.) If more people could see an analysis like Jeff’s, we could overcome the power of the lies.
It's called shadow banned. I had a Twitter account for years, but just before the Nov 2022 election my account was banned for simply saying ballot boxes were ripe for fraudulent voting, and were illegal in some places. I am only on Truth Social now, but haven't even checked in there in several weeks.
Off topic: I just heard from a Vet VA employee that the VA union has been absolved. I not sure what to think about that. There are a tremendous number of incompetents at the VA, but it has helped Veteran VA employees. What are your thoughts?
Honestly, C&C, Gato, & eugyppius are my news sources. Sometimes my Brother and a close Friend. If I hear something I then check “freespoke”. Who would gave thought it would be so complex?
"But most of Céline’s shrill vitriol was reserved for Secretary Kennedy, whom she said is 'waging war on mRNA vaccines and the field of infectious diseases'."
And there it is. She says Kennedy is threatening the field of infectious diseases, the very field from which she derives her livelihood as an "infectious disease specialist".
I have a wee cat at the vet right now, for a spay. I asked the staff if the pet vaccines they use are made with mRNA technology, and I said do not vaccinate my cat. They just called me and the vets said they will never use those mRNA vaccines. So it is real. And it's very important to ask. I'll pick her up this afternoon.
Apparently so. Its a two-fer. Maybe a three-fer. She gets to be an eternal victim as a surviving spouse. She gets media attention and probably cash involved in the mix for her appearances. And she gets "expert" status.
Are you talking about veterinarians BFM? Rabies is the only vax required by law and even then, you can blood titer instead. You can also get a Rabies vax waiver for aged dogs/cats and those with chronic disease or those that have sustained vaccine events prior even by other vaccine like dog flu, Leptospirosis vax, feline leukemia etc. When vets lost their in clinic pharmacy income to competitors like Chewy and PetMeds, vaccines become very important to sustain income.
I just took my puppy to a new vet and told them he was never having any shots other than the one DHPP given by the breeder. I told her I was a crazy antivaxxer 🤣. She smiled and said no problem and I signed the waiver against rabies.
I think vaccine income was very important before all that. Just like the "well child" visits to the pediatrician that coincide with yet another jab or jabs for your child.
BTW, I never knew you could get a waiver for aged dogs and cats. My vet was always hellbent on giving my animals the vaccines no matter how old they got.
Pet vaccines are not required by law. The only ‘vax’ mandated, by most states, is rabies. All other vax are promoted by vets (for profit). Even the big grooming establishments only require the rabies vax.
You run into problems if you need your pet boarded (vets and businesses arbitrarily ‘require’ vaccinations). Have a friend or relative take of your beloved pet while you’re away. You’ll be saving their lives.
If you want to read a good book about the veterinary business, I recommend “Little Miracles Everywhere,” by Dr Marcie Fallek.
My Gabby gets rabies shots only. The Vet sends me email and text and letters every week trying to get me to take him to them for some more expensive, unnecessary poisons.
Yes, it is apparently called Nobivac NXT. They are sa RNA (sa means self-amplifying). It is made by Intervet - a Dutch Pharma company that is now part of Merck.
The rabies shot is usually only required once in a pet's lifetime. Thereafter, only a blood titre to prove immunity will usually suffice. However, the vets will usually not tell patients about the titre in lieu of vaccine.
I thought we were supposed to be fighting infectious diseases. I guess we’re not supposed to be fighting the money grabbers who create customers rather than heal sick people.
Could be a crisis actor to bring martial law to DC. ICE is offering 50K signing bonus. Rumors are the Palantir will be in charge of this new "Freedom" city.
“Polio” is always held out as the poster child of diseases for which vaccines saved modern societies from massive death and debilitation. Like millions, I once believed this myth.
“Turtles All the Way Down” has a nearly book length chapter (125 pp) on Polio. Eye opening.
I don't wonder Pat. Since she is still able to promote jabs and intentionally influence people to get them jabbed knowing there is data out there of death and harm, she cares nothing about anyone but herself. Sick twist that she is.
Rep Sean Casten's healthy (pre-jab) daughter dies suddenly in her sleep and he still champions the jab. Hotez monetizes his daughter's likely vaccine-induced autism in his book for the brainless. Psychopathy on display - they don't care about anyone, not even their own.
Wonder if any autopsy was performed and why we can't make it mandatory in a situation where a perfectly healthy 17 yo girl suddenly dies from cardiac arrest and the only difference is vaccines.
That one I could not believe. Guy is deaf, dumb and blind. He can't be helped. I lament for his daughter but could not give a crap about him or what happens to him. He murdered his daughter with help from the jab industry. Full stop. Hotez is truly mentally feeble and abhorrent; a fanatic that needs to go away permanently.
@Lori did you see Hotez on Rogan? Rogan absolutely dismantled him. Hotez was as you say, “mentally feeble and abhorrent.” Rogan was dumbfounded at times at how incredibly stupid his guest was. It was fun to watch him squirm, but horrifying to think he still holds any sway in public health policy ☠️
"It’s like everything bad is coming untrue." YES!!!
That's why I'm so happy about all of this, the sheer amount of bad that was true was crushing the spirits of the entire country. We can do SO MUCH better than we have been!
I think our Bernese Mountain dog died as the result of the vaccines. She was perfectly fine. We left her with the vet while we were away for the weekend and she couldn't get up on her hind legs. I had been confirmed for Lyme disease and she tested negative. I regret so much giving her those vaccines before her 8th birthday! We had to put our sweet girl down the day after her birthday. Horrendous!
I'm so, so sorry! I believe you are correct; those vaccines cause death and severe health problems for our furry family members. It makes my blood boil! I think we have lost 4 of our animals to cancers or other terrible diseases they never should have had. 2 cats and 2 dogs over 4 years. Breaks my heart.
I'm so sorry about your pup. I love the Mountain dogs.
Local vet here in my town just moved over to a small practice, as the one she was with was bought out by a big corporation. And policy was ALL cats had to have rabies jab...regardless if indoor only. That's BS! The vet has 4 indoor cats of her own and was "I'm outta here!" Kudos to her.
Agree as far as possible. Rabies is legally required, but I put that off as long as I can. But since I compete with my dogs and because we have lots of wildlife around, I do eventually comply. I also know someone who had a litter of puppies that they did not vaccinate for parvo, and they all died from parvo, so that is another one that might be appropriate to get. Any vets here?
As part of the approval hearings Bobby promised that he wouldn't 'take anyone's vaccines away' and that 'they would be available for anyone that WANTED them'! Then we need to proceed with education to make people aware of the limited performance and the 'adverse events' in an informed consent manner... then the problem will sort itself out... in a 'Darwin Awsrds' fashion for some people sadly 😥
We’ll have to wait and see. A number of states mandate childhood vaccinations for public school enrollment while simultaneously prohibiting religious or medical exemptions. There are many battles yet to be fought in this war. Covid showed us that large numbers of the public actually support mandatory vaccination, so people need to be taught WHY coerced medical interventions are evil. Ironically, many who supported mandates were damaged by the mRNA shots and thus hoisted by their own petard. Too bad people often need to learn their lessons—in this case ethical lessons—the hard way.
Outright ban on vaccines?! They won't even do a vax vs. unvaxxed study because they think it's unethical to withhold the vax from the unvaxxed arm of any study. (Never mind they could use the Amish or individuals who would waive their "right" to the vax because they don't vaccinate)
The Amish would be a perfect “control” group to use for the rest of us. They are a model of heathy living and don’t vaccinate. What a lot of us are trying to achieve and could use the Amish as a reason why we don’t need to vaccinate.
I'm thinking one step ahead - if the Amish win the vax vs. unvaxxed challenge, "they" would say it wasn't a fair comparison because the Amish are so much more healthful than the average citizen. Scaring myself I can think like they do!
I wonder if there's shedding involved in pet vaccinations. Can happen only with live viruses. Are there any live virus vaccinations with pets? Would be good to know as people live in closer proximity to their pets then anyone else in their lives.
Gounder wasn't "prioritizing saving lives," either, so there's that.
Vaccine proponents always try to use high vaccination rates as a proxy for "saving lives," and they get away with it because that's been the story for so long, not because they have any proof.
I am not optimistic, but pray that Trump will agree to mutual security pact with Russia, agreeing to Russia’s reasonable expectation to keep the territory they have fought for, and ceasing funding, arming and intelligence to Ukraine.
It is time to be cooperating instead of driving countries with western, Christian values into alliances against the US. Time to restore Russia’s stolen $ reserves back to them. Time to stop being a bullying gangster nation that can bomb any country, assassinate any leader with impunity.
Who holds the liability and by direct extension car insurance for self driving cars? If Tesla is driving then Tesla owns 100% of the liability and insurance policy.
If a self driving car kills another driver, then who is criminally and civilly liable?
If Tesla wants to drive then they own the whole liability enchilada.
Just had to buy one for a new used car for our son. I haven’t bought a car in a long time nor had a new policy, and our cars have been aging so our premiums go down each year. The new quote on a 2012 used car blew my mind. Way cheaper than if it were newer, but still equal to what I remembered a monthly car payment being! It was surreal. And the average car loan for a new/newer car is what a mortgage used to be! But the property depreciates as fast as a toilet flushing. It’s insane. So glad we coached him to buy older and pay cash so that any remaining financing can easily be paid off in under 6-12 months. It was like we were frozen in time for a quarter of a century and emerged to a highly expensive future.
The liability insurance for this, the latest foray into comfort/loss of freedom, will be structured the same way the Federal Vaccine Court is set up. Remember "the government is here to help".
The operator seeks liability protection from insurers as now.
Just like insurers assess how various safety features impact claims and adjust rates accordingly they assess the quality of self drive tech and assess those impacts on claims and charge the operator accordingly - better self drive tech = lower rates for the operator.
If your vehicle is determined at fault, your insurer then reviews the case and decides if they think the vehicle made the wrong choice or not - assuming no user input - and whether or not to pursue a case against the self drive mfg.
From my experience with Tesla's 'Basic autopilot' - human + computer = safest option
The computer makes up for human deficiencies
The human makes up for computer deficiencies
Even the most well intentioned human is going to have moments of distraction
If moment of distraction also coincides with an 'oh poop' moment - lives are saved.
The computer might not (for example) interpret that Jersey barriers are closing a lane whereas a driver would not be fooled.
Sadly, humans have been shown to be terrible "watchers." In airplanes, pilots get lazy on autopilot. Proven fact. I am going to stand back and watch for a while before I get too concerned. The way the internet failures go (including our Starlink), autocars are still a bad idea. I think the more we see them used, the more issues we will see. Just like AI. At least I hope so, because I think it is too soon for driverless vehicles, unless it's the monorail at Disney. I sure don’t want airplanes without two pilots!
Think of the current L2/L3 driver assistance as having a second pilot in the cockpit.
On its own it may not be safer than a driver by itself but paired together you get higher safety.
These systems above are not meant to be 'standalone' they are meant to complement the driver.
I've driven a good 60k miles with basic auto pilot (BAP) and about 2k miles with 'FSD Supervised' as Tesla calls it. Both are L2/L3
BAP is practically flawless on the highway (not hard to keep it between the lines and to maintain safe following distances). Rural divided highways you can usually camp in the right lane so no need to for lane changing ability.
FSD is also brilliant on the highway and on urban expressways with heavy traffic (I had to go through a major city day of the solar eclipse with FSD - it was a very chill experience)
FSD on town/city streets I have little experience with because I almost never used it in town due to the need for a destination being entered - kinda silly to do in a small town
Full on Level 5 no interaction/attention from the driver (Robo-taxi) is probably better than the average human driver now - its just that there are a few ways it would fail that a human would not and that would grab a headline. Even though on net it might be safer, the failures 'bleed' and so they lead.
Jeff you can keep your robot taxi and all the other self driving cars. I for one don’t want any part of them. The issues for public control by govt are just too enormous. If you think the pandemic was bad just wait until the majority of transportation is controlled in some secret data center by some faceless bureaucrats.
Yup...someone, somewhere knowing where you've been and where you're going at all times...the ability to stop all traffic everywhere with the flip of a switch...who should we trust with such power?

O God, do not be far from me;
O my God, hasten to my help!
Let those who are adversaries of my soul be ashamed and consumed;
Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor, who seek to injure me.
But as for me, I will hope continually,
And will praise You yet more and more.
My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness
And of Your salvation all day long;
For I do not know the sum of them.
I will come with the mighty deeds of the Lord GOD;
I will make mention of Your righteousness, Yours alone.
— Psalm 71:12-16 NAS95
✝️✝️✝️
Morning, Janice! Thanks for sharing God’s word.
Jeff,
Per your reporting:
"Last Friday afternoon, 30-year-old Patrick Joseph White riddled the CDC’s Atlanta campus with more than 40 bullet holes, killing DeKalb County police officer David Rose — a 33-year-old former Marine and expectant father"
It might have already been mentioned, but any interest in the group of starting a fund for the officer's family (as well as the pending arrival of a newborn)?
Police officers killed in the line of duty are well taken care of financially. thank goodness. although I’m sure they will create a go fund me in addition to.
The King James Version of the Gospel of Luke, 2:14, tells us that the angels proclaimed,
“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.”
This has been revised, for example in the New International Version, to read,
"Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests."
Those predisposed to war and empire will prefer this revision, which may in their view give them Divine permission to slaughter people whom God does not “favor.”
Anton Chaitkin
Indeed. The Messiah came to His own first in Israel and then, with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, to all nations. As seen by His reception in Israel where he was rejected by the religious establishment, it is up to the people rather or not to accept Him. When Pilate asked Jesus if He was the king of the Jews, Jesus answered, “My Kingdom is not of this world. If My Kingdom were of this world, then would My servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews..."
The implicit idea that the Lord's "favor" on a specific people is license to kill those not so favored is anathema to everything Christ taught. Such behavior will be judged by the King who now sits on His throne at the right hand of the Father as the judge over all the earth and history.
I really do agree with this. But I also agree that each one of us, nations included, have a right to defend ourselves from those who wish to use their own religion to grab a license to “wipe from the face of the earth” all those who are identified as Israel. It works both ways.
“The kings of the earth, and all the inhabitants of the world, would not have believed that the adversary and the enemy should have entered into the gates of Jerusalem.”
The LORD has accomplished His wrath; He has poured out His fierce anger; He has kindled a fire in Zion, and it has consumed her foundations.
But this was for the sins of her prophets and the guilt of her priests, who shed the blood of the righteous in her midst.… Lam4:12,11,13
According to the book, if we were obedient to God‘s voice, we wouldn’t have to worry about anybody attacking America
… the same is true for Israel
… or any of the Catholic/Christian countries in this world
I agree we all "have a right to defend ourselves" from actual attack. But we do not have a right to attack someone else because we are afraid of their beliefs, even if YOU believe they want to “wipe (you) from the face of the earth”. Your definition of "defend" seems to go beyond defense and enters the prohibition of The Sixth Commandment against murder.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the King James Version Bible, but for those who prefer the KJV over any other, may I remind you that there is not a single J in the original 1611 version. No Jeremiah, no Joshua, no Jesus. There were also 81 books in the original version, not 66. You’re reading a modern REVISION of the original 1611 translation. My point is, as with science and just about everything else in life, including the Bible we know and love today, nothing is as you think it is.
Well, old English is definitely spelled differently than today. I have a copy of the 1599 Geneva Bible which predates KJ and was first published in 1560.
Amen Phil! Well said.
Scripture began reconstruction in the late 19th century with Scofield.
Richmond Lattimore has a great translation from the Greek
Actually, the church leaders have been changing some words in the book over the past 1700 years
… mostly by adding words, or changing words to fit their doctrines
Phil - when the Holy Spirit was poured out at Pentecost, these were mostly God-fearing Jews who had come to Jerusalem from other nations Acts 2:5 It was through these Jewish Apostles that the gospel was preached to the gentiles.
It seems that you believe that if God's favor in not upon a certain ppl, then others have a license to harm them. However, that is not the gospel at all. Jesus specifically says to love God above all, and love you Neighbor as yourself. So because I LOVE GOD ABOVE ALL, I WILL NOT SEEK MY NEIGHBOR's harm.... and I live in the midst of what anyone would call the United Nations.... Asians, Middle Eastern, Europeans, Hispanics, etc. When one is taught that ALL life is precious and created by ONE God, then life is respected and nourished. That is not the case with cultures that teach their little ones to HATE others from the time they can breathe... that is child abuse and pure EVIL
Concerned Mom, I think you must have read my comment too fast. I am in total agreement with you. I couldn't agree with you more. Read my comment again and see if you misread it.
And you are right about Pentecost. It was the pouring out of the Holy Spirit into the body of Christ on earth that empowered them to bring the gospel to the gentiles thus fulfilling the "Great Commission" to go and disciple the nations.
We are in agreement totally.
Thanks for bringing this to the comments. I wonder how the late translators reconcile the addition with what is in 2:10.
Even the NIV has: "But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people."
Humans sure have a way of twisting up the word and confusing their role with Gods.
Those who have ears to hear, hear what the Spirit says.
Your second version of Luke 2:14 is not a revision. That translation is well-attested by the ancient manuscripts and supported by all of the earliest sources. I, personally, believe this reading is correct, because God is a just judge. His favor rests on those who obey his Law and accept his Anointed One. I can’t imagine his favor would rest on those who flout his Law or spit in the face of the Savior. To suggest otherwise is to suggest that God doesn’t care how anybody acts or how they believe. That doesn’t fit any definition of justice.
I agree. I don’t think the version is wrong either. But twisting the words to fit one’s narrative is. I do believe His favor rests on those who accept Christ and walk in His will. Using this verse to wage war is simply an excuse to wage war.
What you say is absolutely correct. I have no problem using the NIV version of "and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests" as long as it is understood in the context of the rest of Scripture.
Your statements are correct but I do not believe that is the subject of this text. The context for the heavenly host praising God in v.14 is the preceding passage in verses (emphasis mine)...
10 And the angel said unto them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to ALL PEOPLE.
11 For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
The subject of verse 14 is not God's judgement or those deserving of His "favor". This verse is referencing God's sovereign grace offer of redemption to ALL mankind through the life of His incarnate Son who will be sacrificed for their rebellion. So, technically speaking, the KJV of "and on earth peace, good will toward men" is accurate. God's "good will" is offered to all men. It is up to men to accept His offer of salvation... or not. This is the meaning given in verse 11, a Savior offered for ALL PEOPLE.
I am reading the OT again and the Jews keep messing up yet God continues to show them favor over and over if they will just repent and get back on track. The whole OT is about this over and over and over. I should have started counting how many times the Jewish nation turned against God. It is exhausting. And then what they did in the NT with Jesus. They don't learn and play repeat ad nauseum. God has the patience of a Saint.
Well, as prophesied by both the OT prophets and Jesus, Old Covenant Israel did finally reap God's judgement unto destruction in 70AD.
" .... who obey his Law ....". What law are you talking about?
The law referenced in 1 John 3:4.
Ok, when I read your comment I got the impression you were saying, or at least implying that obeying "the law" is required for salvation. Did I misunderstand your comment? Thanks!
Love my KJ version.
Thousands in Israel march against Netanyahu’s plan to escalate Gaza war
Families of hostages were among the protesters amid new fears over the 50 remaining captives, with 20 of them thought to be alive, held by Hamas.
Tucker: It’s important to remember that criticizing the Israeli government is not the same as scorning the people of Israel. Just like how millions of Americans hated George Bush’s Iraq invasion, many Israelis are not on board with Benjamin Netanyahu’s “military operation” in Gaza. This story proves it.
Tens of thousands of demonstrators took to Israel’s streets to protest their leaders’ plan to seize Gaza City over the weekend, demanding an immediate end to the aggression that much of Europe believes will worsen the region’s already “catastrophic humanitarian situation.” Other countries are also condemning the plan, with Egypt, Turkey, and others calling it a “dangerous and unacceptable escalation” and Russia saying it will aggravate Gaza’s “already extremely dramatic situation.”
Will the United States, the country that portrays itself as the world’s beacon of morality, do anything to stop Netanyahu’s land grab? We’re not betting on it.
https://www.politico.eu/article/protesters-in-israel-march-against-netanyahus-plan-to-escalate-gaza-war/
Its very simple, Tell Hamas to release the hostages.
Why hasn't this happened?
Exactly. And for those who try to draw a comparison, these people were all kidnapped by Hamas (which includes supposed "civilians") and continue to be starved and tortured. Israel does not starve and torture its prisoners regardless of how evil they are, and also does not kidnap innocent babies, children, women and even holocaust survivors).
They may be waiting for their own to be released.
“Raging Psychopath” Mark Levin Lashes Out at Marjorie Taylor Greene
Lunatic. Marxist-Islamist Jew-hater. Complete embarrassment. Kook.
Those are some of the names frothing war hawk Mark Levin hurled at Marjorie Taylor Greene over the weekend, lambasting the lawmaker for daring to think the United States Congress should not serve as a wing of the Israeli government. And he didn’t stop there.
Levin, who should probably find some new ways to spend his free time, also blasted X users who disagree with his Israel First extremism. He called them morons, bigots, pricks, pigs, and even accused one of hating America. Take a look at the thread here and ask yourself if Levin seems stable enough to host a national TV show. The answer is obvious.
Greene responded to the attack by calling Levin a “raging psychopath” who “is 100% Israel FIRST and America LAST!!!” That’s exactly right.
https://www.mediaite.com/media/news/raging-psychopath-mark-levin-trades-brutal-insults-with-disgusting-antisemite-and-clown-marjorie-taylor-greene/
Greene responded to the attack by calling Levin a “raging psychopath” who “is 100% Israel FIRST and America LAST!!!” That’s exactly right.
Margorie is totally right. And this is what I tell Trump at the White House site. It is either Israel First or America First. You can't have both without shattering your base.
It also, by the way, is either Israel First or Christ First. And you can't have it either two ways or co-equal. And that is why Christian Zionists are compromised and apostate Christianity.
ML is a fanatic Zionist and NOTHING good comes from that. p.s. perhaps levin got jabbed and it has caused the rabies he is suffering from.
We are dealing with the consequences of the brilliant plan by the rulers of this world to reestablish Israel as a nation on top of people that had been living on that land for 2000 years. I believe that in 1948 they knew exactly what was gonna happen when they did that, and they justified it on the backs of 6 million people who were sacrificed in Germany
… which may explain why they were sacrificed
Two Furies the other day predictably brought out the 'Jew Hater anti-Semite' cannon, pointed it at me and pulled the trigger without batting an eyelash. Why? For pointing out that genocide should not be funded by United States.
Israel is now demonstratively not 'our best ally' ... not anywhere. And by this time this statement hardly takes any boldness whatsoever in the saying. Instead, Israel is a world class blood-sucking looter which has taken effective control of all levels of government in the United States. Fortunately, this fact has been increasingly exposed and Americans truly want to take their governments back, and not just from Israel ... but also from the MIC and the Corporatized Public/Private partnership and its sister, the grant money complex. To do IS America First for America and Americans.
We are just plain sick of everything here in the US being run recklessly into the ground and our hard earned money being stolen from us every hour and minute, day in and day out. We are just totally fed up with being looted, our lives destroyed ... our industry and means of existence ground up and vaporized ... and simply 'given away' to foreign powers for 'pieces of silver'.
Okay! That I am enraged at this state of affairs is obvious. But I am now seeing that the younger generations in our country are more so pissed. And if I were them, I'd be totally livid beyond description.
I was quite surprised to hear on Tucker that US citizen Jonathan Pollard spied on the US for Israel, and then Israel sold the US secrets to the Soviet Union in exchange for Jews.
This does not sounds like the action of an "ally" at all.
And then there's the USS Liberty incident of 1967, where Israel killed a lot of US sailors.
US taxpayers should not be funding such a country.
And you are a bastard antisemite who should rot in hell. Two furies aren’t enough for a piece of shit like you. Go suck Tucker’s antisemitic dick or find some Islamic piece of shit to hang on to. Go back under your rock, jerk.
I am reminded of the last generation of young people that got pissed off - 50 years ago when I was a youngster and the youth turned out in protest of the Vietnam War draft.
Today, young people cannot even afford to start a family and buy a small house. Jobs and money has been sent overseas to the impoverishment of the American people, most especially the younger generation we are counting on to build this country. Their level of frustration and anger has yet to be measured.
They should march against Net. And we should help put an end to it. Having said that, this shit has gone of for years bc neither side will budge. I am thinking there will never be peace there.
There hasn't been peace for thousands of years and the involvement of the USG and the European NeoCons only pours gasoline on the fire.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the King James Version Bible, but for those who prefer the KJV over any other, may I remind you that there is not a single J in the original 1611 version. No Jeremiah, no Joshua, no Jesus. There were also 81 books in the original version, not 66. You’re reading a modern REVISION of the original 1611 translation. My point is, as with science and just about everything else in life, including the Bible we know and love today, nothing is as you think it is.
Lattimore is the foremost scholar in Greek. The language of the bible.
Koine Greek (not the same as contemporary Greek any more than American English is the same as "King James Bible" English) is one of the languages of the Bible. There's also Hebrew and Aramaic.
There are many, many “foremost“ scholars of the Bible, and there have been for thousands of years. The problem is, all of them bring pre-existing biases and differing levels of scholarship to their interpretations and translations. That is precisely why there are over 400 different translations of the Bible in English. That’s not a criticism, it just a reality.
The KJV is a good translation, but it’s not without its problems. Deuteronomy 32:8 is a perfect example. The KJV reads “sons of Israel,” which makes no sense because Israel did not yet exist in the Table of Nations that is being referenced.
The reason the KJV reads this way is because the committee of KJV translators used the Masoretic Text for their translation which dates from 600-900 AD, whereas the Dead Sea Scrolls from 300-100 BC say, “sons of God,” and the Septuagint from the mid-200s BC says, “angels of God.”
Incidentally, the Bible that Yeshua and his Disciples read, studied and quoted from was the Septuagint.
We all bring pre-existing biases and levels of understanding and intelligence to everything we believe. It can’t be helped. We’re born into a false paradigm and get unintentionally blue-pilled from the moment we’re born. That’s because the Earth is under the control of the Devil and the whole world is deceived by him (Rev. 12:9).
It is only our faith in Yeshua and our Berean-like study of the Scriptures (Acts 17:11) that unwraps the chains around us and brings us into the light of Truth. PS: The Scriptures that the Bereans studied so meticulously were the Septuagint.
I no longer use the NIV. Much better translations are available. It was revised in 1982 and isn’t the same. The New King James, the Passion Translation, the Amplified Version are just a few of my favorites.
It is the same with law dictionaries. I use Black's 1910 and Bouvier mid-19th century.
'They' are 'revising' us out of our ancient traditions, habits and customs in order to re-program us out of our natural self-identities as determined by us and not them. The Soviets did the same thing, only the Marxist West does it better than the Soviets. All of Marxism erases and/or warps history beyond recognition.
Profoundly true! That should be a billboard. Very few understand that and that is very scary for those who realize what we have lost.
English translations and out of context.
How?
Greek scholar Richmond Lattimore may have the best translation.
"Among men of good will."
"Among men of good will" is arguably the best translation. The NIV version is not a strict translation but rather is a theological interpretation and as such is misleading.
And Janice, Dear, there is this little ditty I kinda like:
May those who love us, love us
And those that don't love us,
May God turn their hearts;
And if he doesn't turn their hearts
May he turn their ankles
So we'll know them by their limping An Old Gaelic Blessing
Just saying.
Later Jay

Hahaha!
His alone 🙌
Amen!
Here is a consideration that the faithful readers of the New Testament should take seriously; they should understand that every book or letter contained in the New Testament was written before there was a New Testament!
When Jesus referred to ‘scripture’, he was only talking about what we call the Old Testament, and any reference to ‘scripture’ used in the New Testament, in the same manner that Jesus used the word, has got to be referring only to the Old Testament because there was no New Testament yet!
So the reference to scripture in Timothy and in Peter was referring to the Old Testament, and couldn’t have possibly been referring to the New Testament
… because at the time there wasn’t one
Lately you have been posting quotes from the book that exactly match my feelings
… this one today is my prayer as well
Congratulations Grandma Janice 💥💞
The church tried to burn Wycliffe for translating the book, but he died before they got him, so 15 years after his death, they dug up his bones and burnt them!
Another interesting factoid; the church was the largest purchaser of thousands of bibles printed on that new Gutenberg printing press, and they burnt them too!
And in 1553, the church, using John Calvin in cooperation with the government of Geneva, burnt Michael Servetus to death at the stake simply because he disagreed with one of the doctrines of the men that led the church. Today there are 2 1/2 billion people on this planet who have joined their member to the Catholic/Christian church without any knowledge of the history of who they are getting in bed with.
John Calvin was a murderer and half of the Christian church are following his teachings still today.
… I can only think it’s because they don’t know the history of their church leaders
… or maybe they think that it’s impossible for them to be deceived
"NBC quoted laid-off CDC staff blaming Kennedy for officer Rose’s death, and calling for the Secretary’s resignation."
Yes, I noticed that NBC chose to interview people who have an axe to grind with Kennedy. No bias there at all.
Growing up NBC was my favorite "trusted news source", but years later I learned they are just another mouthpiece for establishment propaganda.
They are ALL corporate owned these days with their own agenda.
Well - when we were growing up there were also a lot less axes to grind. They were still biased, but not quite as bad as they are today. Probably didn't help that "the news" was whatever made it to the big 3 and they'd get a lot of flak from a good portion of the country for overt bias. Now we have alternatives so .....
Same here 'growing up'. That's the channel my conservative parents chose. I remember at one point in my late teens watching ABC and CBS news coverage. They were way worse, more biased.
Yep, the Huntley-Brinkley Report. I liked them, and at that time NBC was less biased than ABC or CBS, though I also watched them too. I was a confirmed "news junkie". I also read the three major weekly news magazines.
Wow that’s a big diet of “the news”! I say that diet is no longer a healthy or life sustaining one.
re: "We aren’t going to let them oil out. Not this time."
I want to bring this discussion back to Celine Gounder. Jeff described her as the worst of the worst. I couldn't agree more. An un-elected bureaucrat who caused profound damage to the American population, from forcing jabs of poison to stealing our natural rights.
Un-elected bureaucrats like Gounder need to be prosecuted to the maximum extent of the law. This is pelosisaurus' and the uni-party's "Democracy" in action. Its actually institutional democracy - meaning they (uniparty) create these corrupt deep state organizations with our tax dollars and then the organizations put unaccountable criminals like Gounder in power over us to tell us to "follow the science" and be prosecuted if we dont. This MUST stop if the American people shall ever have our government back. President Trump's defunding is a huge part of restoring our country, but these people who conducted this crime against humanity must be punished!
re; "We who adhere to the classic American ideal of freedom of movement are the frogs in this slow-boiling scenario."
As I have repeatedly said on C&C and elsewhere. If they take our mobility from us, they take our freedom - there must always be a fail-safe method to take control of an autonomous vehicle. This is very dangerous and I thank Jeff Childers for keeping the spotlight on this. Imagine a situation where the next Resident Autopen, reacting to another created crisis like the pLandemic or "climate change", creates a mandatory rule which requires all autonomous vehicles to seize moving...
I have been saying this for at least two years now. The push for bike lanes all over every city is part of that plan. It’s much easier to control the movement of someone on a bicycle than in a car. Even if it’s one of those stupid electric bikes, you can’t get as far or as fast on them as in a car, nor are you as protected.
Exactly true. The bike lanes and the electric bikes are all part of the "15 minute" cities the globalists, through the corrupt uniparty and Institutional Democracy, want us locked down to, fully subjected to their will over us.
President Trump is undoing all of it.
God bless and protect him and his team.
We have bike lanes even in north central Massachusetts, and we rarely see any bicycles using them. Bike lanes also don't work in New England for at least 5 months out of the year (Nov-March).
This is why all our vehicles are older, without all the bells and whistles.
I would never ride in one of those, no way, no how.
On a side note, my account on X was summarily deleted last night, without a justification. It occurred immediately after my posting about the STL Cardinals beating the Cubs in their ball game last night.
My post, "How about those @Cardinals beating that @cubs ass?! And a series win too! Feed the Bird Motherfuckers!"
Okay, does that deserve to cause my account to be deleted? Not the nicest words but pretty much the common vernacular today, same words used by the lefties all the time on X.
All is still not well on "X".
Wow, that is so stupid. Something wicked this way comes is happening on X. I have heard others dropped for various reasons too.
I agree. X still has a strong undercurrent of woke-corporate censorship.
And Grok still shills the mRNA death jabs for Pfizer, which is sad, and dangerous to our health.
I was banned four times, but gave up re-registering after a while, then found one of my accounts was reinstated without any explanation. So I use X a bit, but won't put any real effort into posting on X anymore. It's just not trustworthy, even under Elon.
The main reforms needed are:
1. perhaps banning individual tweets (such as those calling for violence) until the author edits them, but financially guaranteeing to users that whole accounts will NEVER be banned.
2. fixing Grok to always tell the truth about the millions dead from the mandated mRNA.
I agree Patrick, I was a "Blue Checker" paying them money each month, now my account is gone, up in thin air.. will they still be charging me? I'm not even sure how to raise the issue but I will try through their contacts.
I'm sure it was likely some pissed off, deep cover lefty and cubs fan still employed by X. Im sure they used as their justification my statement about "beating that cubs ass" as calling for violence.
Ban a tweet okay, fine, but ban/DELETE the account especially a paying account is complete bullshit.
Good luck on fixing any AI to not have a bias.
I used to be a life long Cardinals fan, watched many Cubs/Cards series. Was that game in St Louis? I stopped watching the Cardinals and all of baseball in 2020 after they decided to bow down and worship at the alter of a criminal and the terrorist group BLM. I sold all my Cards memorabilia on eBay. Good riddance.
The game yesterday? Yes, it was in "The Lou" at Busch #3! Actually, was a great game, came right down to the bastard cubbies last grounder! The Birds are the only pro team I still hold on to, having long ago given up on the rotten NFL and even more rotten NBA. I just can't seem to cut the cord with them. I've always loved the Redbirds. But they are going to do something stupid, beyond their not very good brand of baseball and likely something from the lunatic, delusional left, and I will finally kick them and concentrate on golf and the Ryder Cup!
Speaking as a Cub fan I’d like to yell at you but not delete you account. Again, as a Cubs fan they suck in just about every aspect of the game and if they don’t stop soon they will have tanked their season. The only good thing about this is they won’t be able to ding me for a whole set of playoff tix and then lose in the first round.
LOL, thanks for the honest response Mary. You know, being honest, I responded so negatively because a cubs fan has said something really vile on X the last time the two clubs got together a few weeks ago and the cubs won. So I will always "counter punch" and did. Anyhow X is supposed to allow for a two way conversation but I guess only if you are a cubs fan and/or a DBL???
It's one of the great rivalries in MLB and the fans surely despise each other as much as the two teams. I mean I really hate the cubs but probably more so because of their fans, or at least some of their fans. FTR, I am not throwing you in the category of reprehensible, reprobate, retarded cubs fan. :-) You are cool and I understand your frustration with the team, which I am equally frustrated with the Redbirds. I guess the bastards have us exactly where they want us?? Anyhow we are all playing for 2d and 3d as the bastards from Milwaukee are streaking big time.
I've been to Wrigley one time probably 5 years ago, Cards v Cubs of course. Cubs won on a 9th inning fielding play which saved their bacon, damnit!
The two teams have one more series late in the season. You can bet I will be rooting hard for my "Birds on a Bat" and I hope they beat that cubs ass again! lol I know you will be hoping the same for my Redbirds, that they beat that cubs ass, right??? lol I hear you about not getting dinged for tix, I recently took my 92 year old mom to a Cards game against the D'backs. $260 on tickets, $17 for one can of brew, and $26 for two hotdogs and a bag of fries! $300 and the Cards got their asses beat! UGH!
Oh, PS, I feel sorry for you having to live in Chicago and especially being MAGA as you appear to be - GOOD on YOU!! Just be careful about running into a smollett! They seem to be all over the place in Chi. :-)
Sir Jeff,
We have really been lied to by the "public health" agencies, big pharma they are in bed with and so many damn greedy and corrupt MDs.
Recently someone on here sent me a website from Dr Tom Cowan, "https://drtomcowan.com/blogs/blog/what-causes-heart-attacks" - What Causes Heart Attacks.
It is absolutely fascinating! If you believe his presentation, we have been lied to on what causes Myocardial Infarction (Heart Attack). We've been told it is because of arterial disease from narrowing and blockages. He essential says non-sense, the heart automatically reroutes around blockages and we dont need those ultra expensive stent insertions, etc., but the Docs sure love them....
He says "Large, stable blockages – those over 90% – are in almost 100% of the cases completely compensated by collateral blood vessels." The pain associated with MI is not from the blocked artery - which has already been compensated by the vast network of arteries and veins in the heart - is from an entirely different part of the body from the kidneys and their adrenal glands. Im not going to completely steal his thunder but damn, everyone really needs to read his website. Now, yes, he claims that the extract from Strophanthus, actually prevents the pain from Angina and MI!!! Because of how it works in the adrenals.
If this is true, think what it says about all the Docs who have lied to us and inserted stents, etc instead of treating the real problem!!!
Infarctions: The Widow Maker Movie has something to say about stents and the absurd history of Heart Attacks.
https://youtu.be/NSPcuGjstN4
Not in the movie, but one researcher said something to the effect of: The only people that had heart disease absent of diabetes were people that had not yet been diagnosed with diabetes.
And here is where we can check the reasoning ability of our MDs:
If statins are the highest grossing drug of all time, shouldn't we be having a lot less people with heart disease?
IMO, she knows what killed her husband (I wrote to her, encouraging her to speak out), and seems to have gone from being a staff physician to some pretty cushy positions.
Follow THE Science: Why use the definite article? Is there only one science? And what is meant by "Follow" it? I might if I first learn that this science is headed to the place that I want to go and it has been there before so already knows the way. Otherwise, I'm going to wait right here. Call me when you get where you are going and tell me how it is. I might not even want to go there anymore.
Possibly, I'm misunderstanding the sentence completely because they omitted the important word: Method. Follow the Science Method is a reasonable thing to suggest, though in truth even that may not be the best method considering historical results. Instead, I would probably still follow Jesus and if He happens to be headed that direction we can chat along the way.
Making Calls: Sometimes I think instead of concentrating on our feckless 'representatives' we should put our efforts into calling these fake news outlets. We could ask if they intend or making retractions or errattas to their incorrect news stories. Then we could make our own 'news' stories about how they 'failed to return our call before deadline' or 'declined to comment.'
Possible Questions include:
1. Was it a lie of omission when you neglected to include the rest of the story?
2. If it wasn't a lie, then do you plan on re-training your reporters and editors on getting their facts straight?
3. How many times have you been sued for false reporting?
4. Do you receive any funds from Government or NGOs?
4a. This would include any overpriced "subscriptions"
5. Given your slanted 'reporting' do you think this practice breaks illegal campaign finance or bribery laws?
Was the officer on duty?
The one killed in NYC office building was moonlighting.
Dont we need them on our street if crime is a problem?
Lots of off-duty police pick up extra income doing security work.
Heard recently that due to the Defund the Police movement (which has lowered the #s of LAPD) one officer has racked up $600k in salary and overtime.
Unintended consequences, I guess.
Living in NYC is expensive. Maybe some police need the extra income.
True story. Unfortunately, the low pay relative to cost of living follows the profession. I lived in a town in Alabama where the greatest perk for the Chief of police was getting the first pick of side-jobs.
It's awful that the brave men and women, police and military, who stand between us and criminals, aren't better paid.
The cop who was killed in NY was indeed moonlighting but was not allowed to carry a gun.... So much for "security."
That's insane.
Police when they are in their jurisdiction are always police. They are on duty/off duty, but they are still police. Most, are required to be armed 24/7. If something happens where they have to take police action (that's part of the job, too), then they instantly revert to on duty status. Thus, the officer who was murdered gets full honors and all benefits for his family. "moonlighting" is not an accurate description. He was working an off duty job.
He was on duty.
As a "security guard," not as a NYC policeman.
most jurisdictions - officers go from off duty to on duty the moment something happens where they need to take police action. Doesn't matter if they are having dinner in a restaurant or working a security detail. They are never NOT a police officer.
I thought the officer shot in Atlanta was on duty.
I understand that his family will be cared for. Working as a DeKalb police officer on that day, at that site and getting shot/killed is significant to me. No need to argue with me on my opinion.
Experts puzzled over how Haiti can have almost no covid deaths yet have administered zero covid jabs
https://atlantablackstar.com/2021/05/11/experts-puzzled-by-why-haiti-has-one-of-the-lowest-covid-19-death-rates-in-the-world-despite-administering-zero-vaccine-doses-we-dont-know/
Well, they did shoot that Haitian president full of holes when he refused the covid shots for Haiti.
Yes, and there were several other such cases of poor black countries refusing the death jabs and then finding their leader assassinated.
Yes, Burundi and Tanzania.
There is at least another one, but I can't remember.
And it's right there in their face.
We're reaching levels of puzzlement never before seen!
Historic levels of puzzlement! 😬
Maybe eating cats and dogs prevents covid🤣
I don't want to laugh at this! 😂😅🤣
I didn’t want to but I did anyway 😬😆
Puzzled and baffled and perplexed 😑
Oh my!
Sounds like a modern-day version of, "Bewitched, Bothered, & Bewildered". We may need to re-write the lyrics to that song!
Had a friend in the Dominican Republic (really close there) and they said that the whole "pandemic" wasn't affecting them because they were open windows/doors and outside all the time with lots of sun. :)
Those factors shouldn't be overlooked or underestimated. Unfortunately, the US has a whole half of the country that can't do that for 4-5 months out of the year.
The article is from 2021. Interesting, but would be great to see updated world data.
https://ourworldindata.org/explorers/covid?country=HTI~USA~GBR&mapSelect=AUS~HTI&Metric=Confirmed+deaths&Interval=Cumulative&Relative+to+population=true
I see Bangladesh and Algeria have about the same rates as Haiti. There may be a reporting issue involved.
No puzzle. It might also explain why flu, cold and other seasonal illness just disappeared during CVD sham.
I enjoyed that short article. Common sense won the day in Haiti. Who'd of thought ?
Poverty protected Haiti from mass murder by injections of the defective and dangerous Pfizer mRNA.
They could not afford to pay for the jabs, so they were just fine.
Does Haiti have malaria or parasite problems? Do they take Ivermectin or similar regularly? That was another common defense who's name we cannot say. And the Amish - no TV's inoculated them!
Haha Atlantic Black Star calls itself a "narrative company!" 😄
It's important to note that this article is from 2021.
I guess I should watch more "news" somewhere, I didn't know any of the facts about the CDC shooting, but just as well I learned them here first. Of course "they" would blame RFK Jr., he is a crazy anti-vaxxer, in their warped opinion. That's very sad that the young man was so adversely affected by the vaxx, and even sadder he took the life of an innocent man. And Dr. Gounder refuses to acknowledge, or even consider, the facts about the deadly vaxx, and her role in the covid hoax.
But thankfully the people and common sense are prevailing presently. I hope this includes some historic move in DC today by Trump.
I hope but every now and then I venture out of my self created and imposed "happy bubble" (ie, no idiots allowed) and run into total idiocy. Yesterday one woman went back to the " you must mask outside and if you don't, " danger, danger Will Robinson". And then there was the climate nut that started screeching about having to rip out pinot vines due to global warming. So much for common sense. It is, as I feared, all too uncommon. And this is in Idaho!
Please keep Idaho sane. I'm planning to move there in about two years, and I promise, cross my heart, that even though my husband and I have lived most of our lives in California and Washington, we will be bringing only conservative values with us.
We spend a lot of time in N Idaho & have met many from California. Not one has brought their liberal policies with them. Its very interesting. All seem to appreciate how nice life is when law & order is enforced & government stays out of lives of law abiding citizens. Not to mention much lower property taxes. Although they should abolish all property’s taxes everywhere.
I laughed out loud at my desk reading “self created and imposed happy bubble (ie, no idiots allowed)”———same here Pat! I’m just DONE with all of it. The happy idiot-free bubble is like a warm hug.
There's no shortage of those types anywhere, it seems.
Wow! I have not run into those types lately. I hope to make it to the next meet up.
Every now and then. Hoping folks in Eagle/Star are more sane. That's been my experience so far. Hope to see you at Pig Latin!
As someone who has liven in Eagle for several years I can testify to the fact that people here were, in general, were more sane (conservative). The issue is always the same everywhere. liberal or progressive attitudes and their inevitable actions is the definition of "mission creep", as in all neighborhoods that harbor loons. it's still relatively calm here but my advice is "stay strapped" like most residents do. It is the best deterrent!
I too reside in Idaho. It is way more sane here than where we moved from. I do see attempts at the left trying to influence culture here but pray it does NOT gain ground.
Pat, I was depositing a check for my daughter today and on the door of her bank it warned, no hats, no hoods, no sunglasses (no guns obviously), and above that sign it said, "masks optional" ...no hat but you can cover your face!🤣
Where was this?
Montpelier, Vt
Next time stay in the "happy bubble," smile, and ask where the prank camera is.
Unfortunately, this phenomenon is far beyond common sense. It is more about common sanity now.
Omg!!
I don't think he was actually made mentally ill by the vax. the issue is probably more how SSRIs damped your "superego" and can lead to impulsive or violent behavior with no consideration of repercussions
I've heard if a lot of people who are struggling with mental illness after the vaxx as well as with long covid. I think it is harder to see.....mental disabilities often are. But, I have no doubt the vaxx has caused a tremendous amount of illness and destruction.....not just physical but mental as well. When something impacts how your body functions, it impacts the brain as well. If you are predisposed to mental health issues, it can land there.
Or a combo of both.
Covid shots causing chemical lobotomies.
Follow this guy if you are on X. He is excellent.
https://x.com/NicHulscher/status/1954559756250816928
This is very disturbing & there are people walking around like zombies.
Nic Hulscher is great. I follow him on Focal Points, the substack that he shares with Dr. McCullough & John Leake.
My poor dad is having huge anxiety and insomnia problems, otherwise healthy at almost 93. They have him so drugged up right now, doxaphin and zolof that I am not allowed to visit for two weeks. Yesterday morning he took an extra dose!!!
I live 5 hours away. Yes, I do cause anxiety because I question all this stuff and I tell my dad to not watch the Seattle news, and David Muir, but luckily they love Jesse on FOX as they are lifelong conservatives.
Their doctor told them the shots were safe so they took the first two and one booster, I had a fit, but they do agree that the shots were bad. They are also flu shot devotees. When I told him the flu shots were 34% effective this last year he asked ‘but what if I get the flu’?
My dad worries about the future of our country, for me, for my brother and his two grown sons too.
He has the weight of the world on his shoulders, and his doc told him to quit watching the news, and is seeing so much anxiety in his (mostly older) patients. Of course the doc won’t accept the info from the guy on X. A financial guy? I checked the initials after his name. Numbers guys are smart!
A good friend of mine was hospitalized for depression. He had battled depression for years but always managed it OK.
He was required to take the shots to keep his job. Now he suffers from anxiety really bad. Never had that problem before.
Ed Dowd, the super duper numbers guy who used to work for a hedge fund, was one of the canaries in the coal mine in regard to the harms from the covid shots.
Thanks for the referral Kathleen.
I'm a huge fan of your judgment & due diligence.
🫶💎🌹
Thanks.
Nicolas Hulscher is excellent in warning of the dangers, and the results, from the covid DeathVax.
Some really scary stuff.
One has to keep an open mind of the possibility. It causes dementia so......
I read of a study somewhere that concluded that psychosis was one of the side effects of the shot. After watching videos on YouTube about traffic stops that turn into felonies and the reaction of the drivers to the police attempting to remove them from the car and handcuff them, we could verify this conclusion if we were to know the psychotic driver’s vaccine history.
… I would bet that they are all recipients of this ‘effective’ shot
He is not but I am now anti vax as they are poison. Down with all jabs now and forever. We will not be poisoned via injection again. And so called docs like grounder need to shut up and learn the facts on how she helped kill her husband by encouraging him to get jabbed. Perhaps she is the one who jabbed him herself.
Lori, to be clear, I am now a firm and adamant antivaxxer, and proud to say so. Vaccines have no redeeming value, and are worthless and ineffective. The vaccine industry is just that, an industry that has compromised the health of millions with their lies and bribes.
I too am a new convert. I was blind and gullible throughout my life and raising my kids. No words can describe the guilt I carry each day over not being properly aware for the sake of my children. I was one of those people afraid to be a conspiracy fool, blindly believing a doctor or pediatrician would never lie to me. Now I don tinfoil clothing and headwear with pride. I doubt the sanity of anyone unwilling to wear a tinfoil hat.
Unfortunately, if they ever COULD come out with a protective shot with no serious side effects I’ll never take it now. The damage they wrought goes so far into the future it’s mind blowing. But worst of all are the lives they willingly killed prior to today, because so many like me were complacent and ignorant. I can’t help feeling partly responsible and belonging to a collective idiocy.
I don't care if the Black Death reappears.
No more shots for me.
Same!! I have formally apologized to my children for not doing any research on vaccines. If I had known then what I know now…
Guilt: My heart goes out to you on that JuJu. I too suffer from this same guilt. It also caused some dissension with mine when I learned the truth about so many things. Even though I had been privy to so many things like statins, fluoride, and sugar, I wasn't there with the vaccines until C-1984. Now my boys are in college and I probably seem like a lunatic to them.
Yes, they burned the credibility of the CDC, FDA, and NIH to the ground, and then made the area into a latrine.
Fauci and Hotez are pretty much at the top of culpability there.
Until there are trials and hangings for the mRNA mandates, which were worst crime against humanity ever, no one should have the slightest trust in anything coming out of the medical establishment. They WILL medically murder you on command. They've proven that.
Say it loud and proud Dave! Me too! When I see someone at the pharmacy getting jabbed, I beg them to talk to me for a moment or beware impending doom.
You...you...insurrectionist! Hahaha.
You are doing the right thing there. You can be proud of that no matter what reaction you get.
Do you really talk with folks in line at the pharmacy for the jab?
At first I was just against the mRNA jab because I know one person who died from it and three with heart problems after taking it.
But then I found a lot of evidence that SIDS is also mostly a result of vaccination. Eg the SIDS rate fell a lot during the lockdowns when parents couldn't bring in their kids.
And the vaxx companies know it, so they try to scatter the SIDS deaths rather than have them concentrated in one geography:
https://patrick.net/memes?date=2025-08-11#22
Me too!! I never considered SIDS was anything but terrible luck until “they” started calling heart attacks and other sudden deaths in youngish populations SADS. Thats when I went down a long, terrible rabbit hole and came out an antivaxxer.
Yes it is causing SIDS but they go after the parents instead, beyond vile. I have a friend who just had her tongue cut out bc of turbo cancer from jab, her husband now has heart probs after jab, another acquaintance passed one week after jab. Beyond the pale.
FYI: A pregnant friend is refusing to take any shots for herself or her baby, against the advice of her doctors. She trusts in God and evolution.
Any doctor who would recommend any shots for a pregnant woman is a murderer.
If your pregnant friend ever has any doubts, she should read this article by Dr. Kevin Stillwagon titled, "I Have An Immune System, No Vaccines Needed"...https://open.substack.com/pub/drkevinstillwagon/p/i-have-an-immune-system-no-vaccines?r=9er3b&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false
Thank you. Will read and pass along.
Evolution? - But evolution is complete nonsense. They have spent countless tax dollars trying to prove their stupid non-theory and still have absolutely nothing of any value except for creating a bunch of eugenics proponents and feeding fire of racism with 'scientific' acknowledgement. I encourage everyone to read some of the comments from the more than one thousand actual scientists that have signed the "Dissent from Darwinism" statement.
https://cbn.com/news/us/1000-scientists-publicly-sign-dissent-darwinism-statement
This worldview leads nowhere good. "Let us reason together:" Anyone that believes God created humans that evolved from other species or even that physically change over time into superior versions of humans are by the original definition of the word: Racists. You simply can't have "Survival of the Fittest" without have the "Naturally less fit for survival."
This worldview also inexorably leads to unreasonable conclusions because non-evolutionary conclusions are either not considered, or consideration stops once an evolutionary take is accepted. Consider viruses and the ever fear inducing "super bug." Which is the more reasonable conclusion: 1. Bad bacteria have evolved a resistance to antibiotics. 2. The human immune system is so much depleted that even with the help of antibiotics it is not enough to fight off the infection.
If you accept the first, you are left with trying more and varied ways to kill off the biom, good or bad.
If you accept the second possibility, you seek ways to 1.) stop the decline of the immune system and 2.) look for methods to improve the immune system instead of tricking it into attacking the body it tries to protect.
Good points. By "evolution," I think my friend means lessons learned from years of trial and error. Anyway, she'll appreciate your thoughtful comment. Thanks.
Great to hear this Jeff! And since God created evolution, it is a win-win! I wish her all the best during her pregnancy and beyond.
I'll tell her about the C&C family. By the way, this is her first child, as far as she knows...
YAY!!!
She is doing the right thing. Please share this with her:

There was a huge surge in stillbirths caused by the mRNA jabs.
I first read about this on X and was shocked at the amount of posts painting RFKJr as who is to blame and the attacks on anti-vaxxers. I wish there were an easy way to get more people to read Jeff’s reporting. The lies are dominating even X, and any rebuttals I post land like a lump of wet mud out of the gate given I’m a nobody account, probably purposefully censored in some way too. (I forget the word that describes having your posts buried and hidden from views.) If more people could see an analysis like Jeff’s, we could overcome the power of the lies.
It's called shadow banned. I had a Twitter account for years, but just before the Nov 2022 election my account was banned for simply saying ballot boxes were ripe for fraudulent voting, and were illegal in some places. I am only on Truth Social now, but haven't even checked in there in several weeks.
That’s it! Shadow banned. 👍 I wasn’t through my first cup of coffee yet 🤣
I think that X will repeatedly run the verification ‘that you’re a human test’ if you read too many of the posts by people that they don’t like
…hint: Trump supporters
The shots seem to cause mental harms as well as physical.
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is on the rise. ("Ssshhh!!")
"Misfolded prions"... ("Oh hush!")
"The Science" seems to seek to blame the "Corona Virus"...
(No mention, EVER of the mandated "safe AND effective" EUA mRNA jibby-jabs.)
I follow Dr. Jessica Rose. I'll wager that she has had some ideas.
A brilliant and a dogged researcher: Jess makes discoveries of needles in haystacks 💉💉💉 and VAERS data. 🎯
(Don't tell anyone. 😉)
https://x.com/JesslovesMJK
Not sure if I ever posted this to you before.
Couple of our mad DoD scientists wrote a paper about using prions as bioweapons.
Published in a UK defense journal back in 2019.
https://www.defenceiq.com/air-land-and-sea-defence-services/articles/prions-as-bioweapons
Off topic: I just heard from a Vet VA employee that the VA union has been absolved. I not sure what to think about that. There are a tremendous number of incompetents at the VA, but it has helped Veteran VA employees. What are your thoughts?
I don’t watch the news either. It was a surprise to read this.
News? C & C, New York Post (I grew up there), and Gutfeld! That's all I can take.
Honestly, C&C, Gato, & eugyppius are my news sources. Sometimes my Brother and a close Friend. If I hear something I then check “freespoke”. Who would gave thought it would be so complex?
Freespoke? That pops up here now and then. I'll have to give it a look-see. Thanks.
The MSM covered it as the "Emory University shooting".
You can be reasonably sure that Gounder encouraged her husband to be injected with this poison.
mRNA and Old Lace...
Methinks their real opinion is that we are all anti-sponsors.
“President Neurodeficiency’s” Jeff never ceases to cause mirth. 😆😂
I liked how he described Biden as "infesting the office"...classic
Jeff was correct - the entire administration was an infestation.
😀🎯🏆
"But most of Céline’s shrill vitriol was reserved for Secretary Kennedy, whom she said is 'waging war on mRNA vaccines and the field of infectious diseases'."
And there it is. She says Kennedy is threatening the field of infectious diseases, the very field from which she derives her livelihood as an "infectious disease specialist".
Some have said vets get much of their income from mandatory vaccine shots.
Imagine the disruption to the money flow if the shots were banned.
I have a wee cat at the vet right now, for a spay. I asked the staff if the pet vaccines they use are made with mRNA technology, and I said do not vaccinate my cat. They just called me and the vets said they will never use those mRNA vaccines. So it is real. And it's very important to ask. I'll pick her up this afternoon.
It’s made by Merck. Will Falconer on Substack has a current article on it and an upcoming deeper dive.
Thanks for the info. I shall look into it.
Yes. I follow Dr. Falconer.
I wonder if it was worth the death of her husband…
Apparently so. Its a two-fer. Maybe a three-fer. She gets to be an eternal victim as a surviving spouse. She gets media attention and probably cash involved in the mix for her appearances. And she gets "expert" status.
And life insurance payout? 🤔
Maybe it wasn't an accident...
Are you talking about veterinarians BFM? Rabies is the only vax required by law and even then, you can blood titer instead. You can also get a Rabies vax waiver for aged dogs/cats and those with chronic disease or those that have sustained vaccine events prior even by other vaccine like dog flu, Leptospirosis vax, feline leukemia etc. When vets lost their in clinic pharmacy income to competitors like Chewy and PetMeds, vaccines become very important to sustain income.
I just took my puppy to a new vet and told them he was never having any shots other than the one DHPP given by the breeder. I told her I was a crazy antivaxxer 🤣. She smiled and said no problem and I signed the waiver against rabies.
If for some reason you ever have to get the Rabies, get the thiomersal free one and not the new saRNA jabs by Merck Animal Health called Novibac NXT.
My rabies blood titer is holding 20 years now.
Yep. "Vaccines can be a large source of profit for very busy, low-budget/high volume practices..."
https://vitalanimal.com/fire-your-vet-annual-vaccinations/
Love Vital Animal! Use a holistic vet, not an allopathic. Best thing someone can do for their pets.
I think vaccine income was very important before all that. Just like the "well child" visits to the pediatrician that coincide with yet another jab or jabs for your child.
BTW, I never knew you could get a waiver for aged dogs and cats. My vet was always hellbent on giving my animals the vaccines no matter how old they got.
Pet vaccines are not required by law. The only ‘vax’ mandated, by most states, is rabies. All other vax are promoted by vets (for profit). Even the big grooming establishments only require the rabies vax.
You run into problems if you need your pet boarded (vets and businesses arbitrarily ‘require’ vaccinations). Have a friend or relative take of your beloved pet while you’re away. You’ll be saving their lives.
If you want to read a good book about the veterinary business, I recommend “Little Miracles Everywhere,” by Dr Marcie Fallek.
Any animal that is sick or aged should not receive a vaccine.
They were always important but kicked up when income was lost. And yes, the waiver they don't tell you about.....
I just stopped taking my cat in for shots. This was about 10 years ago. Where I live licensing is not required.
Fantastic!
My Gabby gets rabies shots only. The Vet sends me email and text and letters every week trying to get me to take him to them for some more expensive, unnecessary poisons.
Watch out for the Merck vax, they are trying out mRNA.
Also titer your kitty next time she is due, she probably has lifelong immunity.
Yes, it is apparently called Nobivac NXT. They are sa RNA (sa means self-amplifying). It is made by Intervet - a Dutch Pharma company that is now part of Merck.
yes and it is self amplifying. So far using it in Rabies, Dog Flu and Feline Leukemia jabs.
The rabies shot is usually only required once in a pet's lifetime. Thereafter, only a blood titre to prove immunity will usually suffice. However, the vets will usually not tell patients about the titre in lieu of vaccine.
Thanks. Now I (and Gabby) know.
They do, and so do pediatricians.
I thought we were supposed to be fighting infectious diseases. I guess we’re not supposed to be fighting the money grabbers who create customers rather than heal sick people.
How dare he poke at here identity
Big Balls lives up to his name. There’s a new sheriff in DC. Decline is a choice.
Could be a crisis actor to bring martial law to DC. ICE is offering 50K signing bonus. Rumors are the Palantir will be in charge of this new "Freedom" city.
Plausible scenario.
No need for “crisis actors” to make DC seem dangerous.
Just for that one event with a Elon Musk dude. DC could become the new Ai Freedom city.
Wait a minute…people are injured by vaccines??? Yet another conspiracy theory falls by the wayside 🤦🏽♂️
Vaccines have been injuring folks, unfortunately, since the polio days.
FDR never even had polio— he had GBS, which is a vaccine injury: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/the-polio-cover-up-how-a-disease
"Polio" may also have been a result of the massive poisoning of our population from DDT. Symptomology is nearly identical.
“Polio” is always held out as the poster child of diseases for which vaccines saved modern societies from massive death and debilitation. Like millions, I once believed this myth.
“Turtles All the Way Down” has a nearly book length chapter (125 pp) on Polio. Eye opening.
That pic of Dr. Gounder is chilling. The trademarked “compassionate head-tilt”, but with the flat, dead eyes of a sociopath.
...and she has the dead husband to prove it.
That aneurysm he had is one of the side effects of the covid DeathVax.
I wonder if she was the one to inject him with that perfect "vaccination".
And you wonder if she cares.
I don't wonder Pat. Since she is still able to promote jabs and intentionally influence people to get them jabbed knowing there is data out there of death and harm, she cares nothing about anyone but herself. Sick twist that she is.
Divine Justice...
Can't come soon enough!
"lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes", thanks Quint! They could have used her in JAWS!
One of the best lines in the movie!
yes, devil eyes.
yes.... it is always the eyes..... the eyes.
I just saved this perfect reply to anyone telling me that I need to follow the science like a lemming sprinting off a cliff.
“Science is a method for formulating and testing hypotheses, not a fixed set of facts.”
Dr. Celine Gounder
(ex)Covid Advisory Board
What a piece of work that broad is. Her husband dies from the jab and she insists on still doing harm to people. Another sick twist among us.
Rep Sean Casten's healthy (pre-jab) daughter dies suddenly in her sleep and he still champions the jab. Hotez monetizes his daughter's likely vaccine-induced autism in his book for the brainless. Psychopathy on display - they don't care about anyone, not even their own.
Wonder if any autopsy was performed and why we can't make it mandatory in a situation where a perfectly healthy 17 yo girl suddenly dies from cardiac arrest and the only difference is vaccines.
That one I could not believe. Guy is deaf, dumb and blind. He can't be helped. I lament for his daughter but could not give a crap about him or what happens to him. He murdered his daughter with help from the jab industry. Full stop. Hotez is truly mentally feeble and abhorrent; a fanatic that needs to go away permanently.
@Lori did you see Hotez on Rogan? Rogan absolutely dismantled him. Hotez was as you say, “mentally feeble and abhorrent.” Rogan was dumbfounded at times at how incredibly stupid his guest was. It was fun to watch him squirm, but horrifying to think he still holds any sway in public health policy ☠️
Nah - it couldn't have been the jab. They are safe and effective, after all.
(And yeah - the mental gymnastics people go through to blame anything but are pretty impressive.)
but see, that's the rub....they have no mentality...
Just ask her new boy toy...
Ugh, I would not touch her or her shedding bodily fluids for a billion bucks. She has cooties indeed!
Er, double cooties...
I wonder why her Life insurance payout was...Just say'n
I did not even think of that. I am gobsmacked at the thought.
Our society needs a big refresher course to the Scientific Process, and Koch’s Postulates.
"It’s like everything bad is coming untrue." YES!!!
That's why I'm so happy about all of this, the sheer amount of bad that was true was crushing the spirits of the entire country. We can do SO MUCH better than we have been!
We are becoming "unburdened by what has been"! 😂😂
Mrs. "the Knife"
😂😂😂
😂😂
🤔🧐🤣
Why not ban all vaccines until they have been properly tested?
Also ban vaccines for pets until they have been tested.
I guess that's going to far?
I’m done vaccinating my pets. Nope.
I think our Bernese Mountain dog died as the result of the vaccines. She was perfectly fine. We left her with the vet while we were away for the weekend and she couldn't get up on her hind legs. I had been confirmed for Lyme disease and she tested negative. I regret so much giving her those vaccines before her 8th birthday! We had to put our sweet girl down the day after her birthday. Horrendous!
I'm so, so sorry! I believe you are correct; those vaccines cause death and severe health problems for our furry family members. It makes my blood boil! I think we have lost 4 of our animals to cancers or other terrible diseases they never should have had. 2 cats and 2 dogs over 4 years. Breaks my heart.
Same here, except we had a Sheltie and a Lab. Both died before 9th b-day😭
🥹
I'm so sorry about your pup. I love the Mountain dogs.
Local vet here in my town just moved over to a small practice, as the one she was with was bought out by a big corporation. And policy was ALL cats had to have rabies jab...regardless if indoor only. That's BS! The vet has 4 indoor cats of her own and was "I'm outta here!" Kudos to her.
Agree as far as possible. Rabies is legally required, but I put that off as long as I can. But since I compete with my dogs and because we have lots of wildlife around, I do eventually comply. I also know someone who had a litter of puppies that they did not vaccinate for parvo, and they all died from parvo, so that is another one that might be appropriate to get. Any vets here?
What kind of competition?
Obedience, rally, agility, tracking, lure coursing, scent work, therapy, and with my youngest starting hunt training.
Totally agree. There are vets out there telling people to not allow their pets to be vaccinated.
Eliminating mandates would be a great start, and relatively easy to do.
As part of the approval hearings Bobby promised that he wouldn't 'take anyone's vaccines away' and that 'they would be available for anyone that WANTED them'! Then we need to proceed with education to make people aware of the limited performance and the 'adverse events' in an informed consent manner... then the problem will sort itself out... in a 'Darwin Awsrds' fashion for some people sadly 😥
We’ll have to wait and see. A number of states mandate childhood vaccinations for public school enrollment while simultaneously prohibiting religious or medical exemptions. There are many battles yet to be fought in this war. Covid showed us that large numbers of the public actually support mandatory vaccination, so people need to be taught WHY coerced medical interventions are evil. Ironically, many who supported mandates were damaged by the mRNA shots and thus hoisted by their own petard. Too bad people often need to learn their lessons—in this case ethical lessons—the hard way.
Outright ban on vaccines?! They won't even do a vax vs. unvaxxed study because they think it's unethical to withhold the vax from the unvaxxed arm of any study. (Never mind they could use the Amish or individuals who would waive their "right" to the vax because they don't vaccinate)
The Amish would be a perfect “control” group to use for the rest of us. They are a model of heathy living and don’t vaccinate. What a lot of us are trying to achieve and could use the Amish as a reason why we don’t need to vaccinate.
I'm thinking one step ahead - if the Amish win the vax vs. unvaxxed challenge, "they" would say it wasn't a fair comparison because the Amish are so much more healthful than the average citizen. Scaring myself I can think like they do!
I know! Isn’t it weird when you get into their head. Makes me sick to think about it haha!
Why not just say no..refuse.
I wonder if there's shedding involved in pet vaccinations. Can happen only with live viruses. Are there any live virus vaccinations with pets? Would be good to know as people live in closer proximity to their pets then anyone else in their lives.
Gounder wasn't "prioritizing saving lives," either, so there's that.
Vaccine proponents always try to use high vaccination rates as a proxy for "saving lives," and they get away with it because that's been the story for so long, not because they have any proof.
I am not optimistic, but pray that Trump will agree to mutual security pact with Russia, agreeing to Russia’s reasonable expectation to keep the territory they have fought for, and ceasing funding, arming and intelligence to Ukraine.
It is time to be cooperating instead of driving countries with western, Christian values into alliances against the US. Time to restore Russia’s stolen $ reserves back to them. Time to stop being a bullying gangster nation that can bomb any country, assassinate any leader with impunity.
The elected politicians who are incapable of competently governing this country want to do the same to the rest of the world.
The politicians just have the BS part 😑
I could not agree more...
Who holds the liability and by direct extension car insurance for self driving cars? If Tesla is driving then Tesla owns 100% of the liability and insurance policy.
If a self driving car kills another driver, then who is criminally and civilly liable?
If Tesla wants to drive then they own the whole liability enchilada.
Perhaps Tesla needs a litigation immunity law like the 1986 Vaccune law since self driving cars are unavoidably unsafe.
Don't give them any ideas.
Oh they are thinking about it, don't worry!
So they pay the insurance but then have rights to all data…audio, video, user data…all of it. Spy cars. Surveillance spy cars. Super scary stuff.
If the robo-cars are no more reliable than AI, we may soon bear witness to a Guinness Book demolition derby.
😂😂😂
I mean, I’d be tempted just to not have to have the liability. Have you SEEN insurance premiums lately?!?!
Just had to buy one for a new used car for our son. I haven’t bought a car in a long time nor had a new policy, and our cars have been aging so our premiums go down each year. The new quote on a 2012 used car blew my mind. Way cheaper than if it were newer, but still equal to what I remembered a monthly car payment being! It was surreal. And the average car loan for a new/newer car is what a mortgage used to be! But the property depreciates as fast as a toilet flushing. It’s insane. So glad we coached him to buy older and pay cash so that any remaining financing can easily be paid off in under 6-12 months. It was like we were frozen in time for a quarter of a century and emerged to a highly expensive future.
We had to buy new furniture this last week due to an, er, dog/chipmunk encounter. Anyway, shocked at the prices. Found a sale at Lazy Boy. Yay!!
Bought some end-of-summer sandals the other day, the sale price was $79!! Regular shoe prices are $140 and up! And that’s just average quality.
Either way, you'll pay the bill. Nicely camouflaged, if you prefer the sweet delusion.
Take a normal taxi?
The liability insurance for this, the latest foray into comfort/loss of freedom, will be structured the same way the Federal Vaccine Court is set up. Remember "the government is here to help".
They'll just create a legal entity that holds that risk. Maybe a self insurance arm of some sort.
The operator seeks liability protection from insurers as now.
Just like insurers assess how various safety features impact claims and adjust rates accordingly they assess the quality of self drive tech and assess those impacts on claims and charge the operator accordingly - better self drive tech = lower rates for the operator.
If your vehicle is determined at fault, your insurer then reviews the case and decides if they think the vehicle made the wrong choice or not - assuming no user input - and whether or not to pursue a case against the self drive mfg.
From my experience with Tesla's 'Basic autopilot' - human + computer = safest option
The computer makes up for human deficiencies
The human makes up for computer deficiencies
Even the most well intentioned human is going to have moments of distraction
If moment of distraction also coincides with an 'oh poop' moment - lives are saved.
The computer might not (for example) interpret that Jersey barriers are closing a lane whereas a driver would not be fooled.
Sadly, humans have been shown to be terrible "watchers." In airplanes, pilots get lazy on autopilot. Proven fact. I am going to stand back and watch for a while before I get too concerned. The way the internet failures go (including our Starlink), autocars are still a bad idea. I think the more we see them used, the more issues we will see. Just like AI. At least I hope so, because I think it is too soon for driverless vehicles, unless it's the monorail at Disney. I sure don’t want airplanes without two pilots!
Think of the current L2/L3 driver assistance as having a second pilot in the cockpit.
On its own it may not be safer than a driver by itself but paired together you get higher safety.
These systems above are not meant to be 'standalone' they are meant to complement the driver.
I've driven a good 60k miles with basic auto pilot (BAP) and about 2k miles with 'FSD Supervised' as Tesla calls it. Both are L2/L3
BAP is practically flawless on the highway (not hard to keep it between the lines and to maintain safe following distances). Rural divided highways you can usually camp in the right lane so no need to for lane changing ability.
FSD is also brilliant on the highway and on urban expressways with heavy traffic (I had to go through a major city day of the solar eclipse with FSD - it was a very chill experience)
FSD on town/city streets I have little experience with because I almost never used it in town due to the need for a destination being entered - kinda silly to do in a small town
Full on Level 5 no interaction/attention from the driver (Robo-taxi) is probably better than the average human driver now - its just that there are a few ways it would fail that a human would not and that would grab a headline. Even though on net it might be safer, the failures 'bleed' and so they lead.
I have a friend who is legally blind, who has been driving a Tesla for several years now. As far as I am aware, he has had no problems.
Jeff you can keep your robot taxi and all the other self driving cars. I for one don’t want any part of them. The issues for public control by govt are just too enormous. If you think the pandemic was bad just wait until the majority of transportation is controlled in some secret data center by some faceless bureaucrats.
Agree. I have a trans am to keep healthy, and I like squealing the tires 😉
I have a manual bmw 😁😁😁
Five speed?
Yes and AWD.
A trans-what??? 🤣
Yup...someone, somewhere knowing where you've been and where you're going at all times...the ability to stop all traffic everywhere with the flip of a switch...who should we trust with such power?
You’re cell phone already tracks your movements all the time or do you leave your phone at home
Not if it's in a faraday sleeve 😉
Tru Dat!!
You definitely have the option to leave it at home.
Remember when BHO said he would love to control our heat?!?😐
Yep, driving is a lot more fun than scrolling, answering emails, work, etc. Count me out, and get that slow poking thing out of my way.
