"discover that Mike Pence’s endorsement has the political impact of falling off a cheap Home Depot ladder." 🀣🀣🀣🀣

RunningLogic's avatar

That was a good one! 😁

Johnny-O's avatar

The Mike Pence that the 10 D chess deep state slayer Trump chose for VP.....

TDawg's avatar

He didn’t choose him, he was forced to take him. Try to keep up. I know it’s hard.

Johnny-O's avatar

He was forced? Was a gun to his head? Good god you guys are such sycophants you don't even realize how ridiculous you sound.

rolandttg's avatar

Sorry Johnny. I rarely push back at some of the things you say that I still disagree with, but this is way over the top. Anyone who truly believes a first time , or probably any presidential candidate gets to choose his VP is naive to the fourth power.

Johnny-O's avatar

Thanks for saying the quiet part out loud Roland! So, given this context, how is Trump really in charge, and how is he going to take down the permanent state. Hint - he's not in charge, and he is working directly for the permanent state.

He may tinker around the edges, and do some things that may generate some decent headlines, but at the end of the day, he serves transnational capital and powerful people around the globe.

Johnny

I have said multiple times here and elsewhere that everything we are ever told officially about anything of import is a lie, and that as far as knowing what is true, it is not possible . The psyops on both sides are too sophisticated and too ubiquitous in every aspect of our life. Add to that the obvious widespread use by both sides of body doubles / clones / CGI/ green screen and it adds another layer of unknowability. Both sides are clearly using False Flags too. And that is without getting into the issue of is it humans or ET's we are really fighting, or both?

It is crazier than I have ever seen it in my 18 + years of going down the rabbit hole. Pick any position, any position. I can find people I have "trusted" and followed for years that fall on opposite sides of that position. The Soviets spent more money on disinformation campaigns than spying and information gathering. A lesson learned by all intel agencies.

So, all that said, I refuse to be a pessimist or black pill person. But that does not make me a MAGA all the way person. Trump has done far too many things that truly upset me, like protecting glysophate, renewing FISA untouched, embracing Peter Thiel and Palentir, slow walking some of the vaccine accountability movement, way too little done for small farmers suffocating under too many regulations, , and plenty more. I am guardedly optimistic that there is a plan , and things will work out, and that some of these issues may be about timing rather than substance. Time will tell, But to repeat, the only thing I know for sure, is I can't know anything for sure.

kittynana's avatar

@Johnny (again)- he had 8 years to figure out who was who and what was what. He came into this term loaded for bear and, so far, he's killing every bear and turning them into rugs.

Look in the mirror pal. TDS much?

Johnny-O's avatar

You made a comment that makes no sense, and then you respond with the childish TDS comment.

Let's try this again: How was Trump forced to pick Pence?

Inisfad's avatar

In his first term, coming in without a background in politics, he chose/accepted people who were recommended by the politicos of his party. Remember Pence. Bill Barr, Fauci/Birx, Milley, etc., etc.

Johnny-O's avatar

Yeah, he is outspending his record deficits from his first admin, so you are right, he isn't the same. Some are starting to question if he is mentally ill.

Well little Johnny O, I could also say that several people are questioning if you are mentally ill. I do believe you are giving them plenty of proof, if you hate Donald Trump so much ,why don't you just go to Blue Sky with the other lunatics cry babies chicken s**** and pathetic libtards ?you should be right at home there.

Johnny-O's avatar

Good one!

Are you aware Trump has already run up the deficit an additional 2 trillion dollars in just 15 months, with the last trillion coming in less than 80 days?

Sorry if reality hurts. I'm not here to bootlick politicians - they are supposed to be our public servants, not idols to ass kiss.

Lisa Ricketts's avatar

are you aware that theft of Federal money /fraud is being uncovered in similar amounts and the size of the Federal Government is shrinking, lob growth is up and revenues are up! Governments and Economies have a myriad of moving parts that have to be serviced, oiled, changed out and at times eliminated, or added to. Think of The Trump administration as the Pit crew for the Great American Racing Team, or as a Group of Neurosurgeons rewiring a tangled web of receptors and cutting out a dangerous cancerous tumor!

They have been losing commenters there due to the Democrat dementia that persists throughout the party, so they could use a new "bat-shit crazy" commenter.

Wrong. I'm not a partisan dipschtick. Both parties are evil and work for the ruling class and don't give a rats ass about you, me, or anyone else here.

Kevin Hicks's avatar

Sorry you were so naive to believe you'd be represented by our House of Representatives. How old are ya? Where were you during biden's term? Or Obama's? Our deficit has been a problem since Clinton. Because Trump must play with the federal bureaucracy cards he's been dealt is hardly grounds to bad-mouth the best president our country has had since Reagan. I believe you're trying to speak any perceived short coming into existence so you can say "told-ya-so."

Last night was an EPIC beat down. It can not be overstated. There's only been ONE incumbent in Indiana, over the last 20 years, who didn't hold their seat.

That's what you mealy-mouthed wussies get. This wasn't about revenge; it was about listening to THE PEOPLE and not the polls!

To all the Podcastistans (traitors) you are forever barred from the MAGA movement. Go lay in the gutters you created.

The Republicans have an opportunity with the SAVE act to rule for 50 years.

Most people don't understand with the election integrity bill it doesn’t only mandate citizenship and ID to vote β€” it makes states CLEAN THEIR ROLLS of illegals, and penalizes officials who register illegal voters.

And once the census is fixed in 2030 it's over!

This would DESTROY the Democrat Party as we know it!

LFG!

Lisa's avatar

Indeed, they have been trained to put a small "tear" in the envelope from "right leaning" counties rendering the vote "null and void". That's an Obamanian "trick" and the so-called "Leader" of France beat Le Pen, over and over due to the thrown out ballads and many of them were found. Obama LOL when sharing this "war tactic" in cheating in an election.

Born in Portland, in Vancouver, now, for a while, and amazed that a 'FL guy' has the perfect handle on Portland people - so disgusting here.

kittynana's avatar

@lakegirl- husband and I were in Seattle late last summer. Stayed with his niece and her wife (that gives you a hint on where this is going). We went to a few places with them and on our own (actually sat next to Bills fans in one place! That was fun!) but we were woefully out of place. We kept a low profile at Starbucks Reserve because it was too delightful to stay away but we still felt 'it'. I was looking at niece's bulletin board and they were going to a Pete Buttegieg something-or-other later that month. Le sigh.

@Barbara- my brother lives in Portland proper and is a right wing conservative. Kills him. Even his wife and kids are left wing. Sister lives in a suburb outside of Portland. She's a Dem but a moderate one (you know- the old fashioned kind). She's disturbed by how much Oregon has gone far left.

Lisa's avatar

Exactly, remember when he went against Trump over the J-6/Pelosian debacle? Remember when the "other side" placed his reward squarely in his hand. That was "the system" and Mike Pence was a part of it the entire time. That man was an embarrassment and humiliation to the USA along with many of his predecessors. He sure did play his part of the "all-American" when, in fact, he's a Luciferian and has many faces and many hats in that "system".

Ohio has some concerns too… A race against a Covid dictator or Vivek…

Here’s a point counterpoint… will Ohio FAFO?

Casey Putsch, a Republican candidate for Ohio governor running against Vivek Ramaswamy, argues that his opponent is a "globalist Trojan horse" who never built anything of valueβ€”contrasting his own diesel car that gets 100 miles per gallon with Ramaswamy's "failed pharmaceutical drug" touted as an Alzheimer's cure that "doesn't exist."

Putsch criticizes the "uniparty" for being funded by billionaires and corporations that use H-1B visas and mass immigration to "destroy American jobs," "dilute our culture," and drive down wages, calling this a strategy to "destabilize the nation." He tells Jimmy he's disappointed after supporting Trump three times, pointing to the "cover-up of the Epstein files," "unregulated AI for 10 years" slipped into a bill, and the Iran war as evidence that Trump has been "completely snowed or completely bought out." Putsch warns that data centers are "leeches" being slipped into Ohio "under the cover of night with NDA forms," and that the modern-day government of Israel is a "cancer that's metastasized in all levels of government" with politicians bought by AIPAC.

Casey Putsch on Twitter: / caseyputsch

Casey Putsch’s campaign website: https://putschforohio....

Dave aka Geezermann's avatar

Unfortunately, Putsch is completely wrong about Trump. There was no "coverup" of any Epstein files; the Iran operation is not an ongoing war but a takedown of the globalist regime; and Trump is not a puppet of BB, just the opposite, Trump has forced BB to bow to his agenda. The Uniparty who are beholden to the Israel lobby are not happy.

I’ve read that while a census has to be done every 10 years, it can be done more often. If so, Trump could do one in 2027 and force redistricting in 2028.

Before I EVER take another v@ccine from these scum rabbits, I want to see them *publicly* receive their own dose, and then have a third party confirm it wasn't saline.

Among other things missing in the news stories about withholding publication, is which medical journal(s) had accepted the papers. If they had been accepted, some data could/should have been included in the news "release." The authors have the right to communicate their data.

So would you rather have a "pretend Christian" politician--which is what many are, or a very American, business savvy Hindu who has your back and behaves the same way you have been instructed to behave, as a governor? Don't make politics just a purity test. Now, if he was an Islamist, that's a no. Islam is not a religion. It is a political/military strategy. I've known a few Hindus. They are honest, and like Jewish people, have a non-existent per capital crime rate per national crime data base stats.

CK's avatar

Vivek is a total snake. His biotech companies were slimy, lots of dirty tricks and family favors. Buying a failed drug, claiming a break through, going on Jim Cramers show to pump up the stock price on a lie and profit from a pump and dump type strategy.

Never trust an Indian. They are raised with a different values set. Honesty and integrity are weaknesses in Indian culture. Indian culture is not compatible with American culture.

Is Vivek better than the Democrat? Yeah, probably. But we need to stop settling for β€œbetter than the Democrat” candidates.

Maha's avatar

Wow. Are you done assassinating the man? As noted above, I know many Indian people. They are charming, generous, well spoken, really excel at their given fields, and while they bring some culture with them, like amazing cuisine, they do a pretty great job of adapting to American lifestyles.

Meeting an Indian as a stranger can be a great cultural exchange. I was visiting my in-laws in Florida and was swimming in their pool one morning. A middle-aged man was attempting to swim the length of the pool and was pretty much flailing about.

I offered to teach him how to get a handle on his technique and breathing, and gave him a set of swim goggles to make it easier.

When he left I stayed and was watching my kids swim. He returned with his wife and invited my family for lunch, which his wife had been preparing for about two hours. It was the best North Indian meals I had ever had. He just wanted to thank me for helping him. That's the character of the Indian people.

CK's avatar

He have a distorted view of reality and are probably a woman. Indians are liars as much as they breathe air. Lying is part of their culture but may not be a part if their DNA.

Vivek fits the mold. Do a small bit of research into his biotech days and you’ll see. Search around on the Conservative Treehouse, I think there’s a lot there.

When are we going to realize that:

Vaccine = injectable disease

Putting a β€œvaccine” in food = purposefully placing disease into food

Purposefully placing disease into food should already be illegal.

Lori's avatar

And now a new jab for bees; when does the madness end. They are working on jabbing every animal into oblivion and making our food supply unsafe or non-existent. And vets are jab believers to their core worshipping at the altar of big harma (except for holistic vets).

A vaccine aims to combat American Foulbrood, a devastating, colony-killing disease, which typically requires equipment burning to eradicate. And with the larger role veterinarians are beginning to play in bees’—and beekeepers’—lives, the changes could impact how American Foulbrood is treated.

shayne's avatar

Absolutely many veterinarians are pushing vaccines on unsuspecting owners. So many vet clinics now are owned by large companies. Finding an independent vet is really difficult.

Lori's avatar

Use a holistic vet, they are excellent.

We have a 9-year-old indoor cat. We have stopped from taking him in for the annual or bi-annual vaccinations -- he doesn't go outside, so there's no risk of him contracting anything from another animal. The only time this could become problematic is if we have to go on a long trip that would require boarding him somewhere... but I suspect we'll probably either take him with us or ask a neighbor to take care of him.

I got shingles twice. So I took the shingles vaccine and then got shingles worse than the first two unvaccinated times. Then I found out it’s like only 80% or less efficacy.

I would advise anyone contemplating getting the shingles vaccine to NOT do it.

AM Schimberg's avatar

It's funny, cause the fact that the media is lumping the shingles vax in with the covid vax as both safe and effective makes me less (read no chance in hell) likely to take it. Thanks for the warning trad media!

CHop's avatar

My 82 year old mom wouldn't take the Shingles vax because all of her friends who took it got shingles. Dr. Tenpenney stated the chicken pox vaccine is spreading shingles as it is a live vaccine. Stay away from anyone who recently got the chicken pox vaccine as they shed it. I believe 30 days is the recommended time.

SHug's avatar
1hEdited

Actually, there are 2 different vaccines for Shingles, Shingrix (recombinant zoster vaccine - not live) and Zostavax (zoster vaccine live) (has mostly been edged out).

I don't want either one, but before the awakening (Convid) I had to know differences in vaccines as I can not take anything with live virus. Immune compromised.

Anything with a LIVE virus (like MMR) can and will shed and anyone who takes it should not be around others for 10-14 days and most certainly should not be around pregnant women, new babies or the elderly. This is why whenever there is a vaccine push for MMR, you will see large measles outbreaks nearby (get that shot, then send them off to school with all the other kids!) and the medicos don't generally tell anyone that little Johnny who just got the MMR should not be playing with others for about 2 weeks. So, you have a vaccine push, then you get an outbreak quickly followed by panicking people who now demand a vaxx. Easy business model, wouldn't you say? Why is it that NO ONE asks what measles strain is going around when they are doing their panic reporting? - they are almost always the same strain as the vaccine!

Castor oil (cold pressed, extra virgin, in brown bottles) applied to the skin can help shingles (or many skin conditions) heal faster. And if you add a bit of DMSO to it, it can really help with pain levels as well as healing. The amount of DMSO people can tolerate differs, so start with a 30% DMSO content, 70% oil. A Midwestern Dr here on substack does a great job on explaining/expounding on DMSO. Don't swallow the castor oil - apply it to the skin.

Beckadee's avatar

Probably a 100% chance nobody is told about the shedding. Little Johnny out of school for 14 days? Not a chance.

SHug's avatar

Like I said, Easy business model.

It’s a fantastic business model along with a liability shield that you can’t sue any vaccine manufacturer for the vaccine on the schedule. Imagine if Ford was the only car maker and their brakes only worked in 70% of the cars and you didn’t know which car you had but it was the only car you could drive and you couldn’t sue Ford if the brakes failed. By the way once they usher in digital ID, does anybody think they’ll have a choice in declining a vaccine?

My hub took the first shot (unbeknownst to me!) and developed an allergy to walnuts within a year….hmm….no more shots period.

I would not believe the 80% number or even close to it. Sorry to hear you got it worse after the jab. Just say NO to all jabs, problem solved.

Peter Schott's avatar

I've had acquaintances trying to say this is a shot everyone should get - it's tried/true/effective - etc, etc. From what I've seen the true risk reduction is minimal and one of the side effects is ... to get shingles. I'll pass.

I've had a case of shingles in the past and I've come across some interesting reading about treatments for it that don't involve a shot. Filed away for possible future needs.

Just take valcyclovir as soon as you feel a tingling/itching/kind of ouchy feeling coming on and it knocks it right down. Same with herpes cold sores. Same virus.

You were harmed by big pharma poison, and then you recommend more big pharma poison to help??

Lemon balm is a very effective natural method used against herpes virus and cold sores. It is an antiviral.

Max efficiency I have read is 60%. I had a friend who developed vision problems immediately after her jab .

The good news just keeps a comin'! Thanks for the update, Jeff. I'd be clueless without your fabulous insights! πŸ₯Έ

Now we just need Fauci indicted. Only 5 days left.

TDawg's avatar

I’d love to see Fauci’s house raided at 11:55 pm on the night before the statute expires. Get him and his wife out of bed in their pajamas, and have cnn at the ready!

Lori's avatar

That is what I am praying for that they are making him sweat and wait until the last day. He is truly an evil entity.

GardenGranny's avatar

Newsmax not cnn.

Steenroid's avatar

Never going to happen. I’ll eat crow if it does.

Lori's avatar

I am praying nonstop nonetheless.

I’ll join you!

How do you want that cooked?

Yes, please connect the dots, which you do so well, in the Dem polycrisis.

MnmMom's avatar

Yes, please! We love your dot connecting, Jeff!

Maybe instead of "term" limits we should have a max # of years you can work in Federal government. Call it a max of 15 years in any capacity in any legislative determining role?

taxpayer's avatar

That'd make the lobbyists and staffs even more powerful, as they'd be the only ones who really understand the details of how things work.

Dolce Far Niente's avatar

This^^^

I don't think voters truly appreciate the extent that the permanent staffers/aides/bureaucrats control what happens in our governments. Our elected congresscritters don't write legislation; these staffers and lobbyists do. Staffers tell politicians what the "important" issues are (issues important to lobbyists and donors, that is).

This is the face of the Swamp; politicians are probably the least influential part of it.

MnmMom's avatar

Agree completely. Finding a way or multiple ways to limit this group would alter the power of the deep state.

RunningLogic's avatar

Agree, we need to find ways of limiting staffers and unelected bureaucrats.

c Anderson's avatar

This is what makes term limits a difficult issue. It empowers the bureaucrats which are unelected and basically tenured.

GardenGranny's avatar

Agencies write legislation too. I’ve seen it in environmental law and in banking.

Luc's avatar

Get rid of the lobbyist!

taxpayer's avatar

I'm not sure how you could do that. But I do recall that three states, I think Kentucky, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania, levy a tax on lobbying.

Luc's avatar

Well you're a taxpayer so I guess you SHOULD have a vote on that, no? I mean just look at the money lobbying has used to influence all types of decisions. Does that seem ethical to you?

P Flournoy's avatar

Well, maybe give them a term limit too!

Michelle Enmark, DDS's avatar

Maybe a similar term limit idea needs to apply to staffers and lobbyists, taxpayer.

Bard Joseph's avatar

Or max in $ donations.

CL Shoemake's avatar

This!!! For many years I have believed we need a cap of what can be spent on election campaigns/advertising. It had oft become a case of whomever had the most money wins! 😠 And IMHO, it seems so vulgar to spend monstrous millions. Obviously, with all the gross fraud that is beginning to come to light, it would take an enormous amount of honest auditing methods to make this campaign spend limits ever happen. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Richard Whitney's avatar

They spend far more on lobbying than they do on donations.

In the 70s there were fewer than 100 registered lobbyists in Wash, DC. Now there are multiple ones for each Congress member.

We can see the difference in our country in the last 50 years. Ban paid lobbyists.

Carol Brizzolara's avatar

We do have military and medical staff and lawyers, etc. who may work career federal employment. Do you want Clarence Thomas off the bench, for example??? Watch what you ask for!!! Just go for term limits for elected positions with no options to go be a lobbyist for x amount of years afterwards or something similar.

Should I explain the Democrats’ polycrisis tomorrow? Let me know in the comments:

YES.

And perhaps let’s take a moment to remember Ruby Freeman, who was filmed taking the suitcase of ballots from under the table and feeding them into the tabulator. I believe an additional video also showed some questionable activity between herself, her daughter and a thumb drive. In any event, when Freeman was asked about her conduct her response was β€˜This is bigger than me’. I suspect we shall be hearing about her again.

SHug's avatar

Yeah, they were the ones who sued poor Rudy Giuliani and won most of his money, for "defamation". I say they should have to give ALL his money back plus pain & suffering and legal costs!

Michelle Enmark, DDS's avatar

Maybe so, but his health seems to have been irreparably damaged at this point, SHug.

VelvetStitching's avatar

Yes - Jeff - please explain the Democrats polycrisis! I always appreciate your keen legal view!

I read this morning that the state of MINNESOTA apparently voted "NO" 34 (Democrats and/ or Rinos) - "Yes" 33 (Republicans) - to clean up voter rolls by removing the names of dead people!

It did not pass!

How telling is it that Democrats MUST have a padded voter roll to win?!

"Time and time again the proof is in the puddin': Democrats are as crooked as the day is long!"

I am ALL FOR in person, same day, using valid Voter ID verification - voting!

NO more mail-in ballots!

No more prolonged voting process! As they say on the south: " Git 'er done!"

Lori's avatar

who in their right mind would not want to clean voter rolls. the dems and rhinos are truly demons in skin suits literally. they vote, endorse and support every single think that is abnormal: fraud, antifa, criminals, illegals, abortions, jabs, open borders, commies, assassinations, murder, censored speech except theirs, violent rhetoric, bombings, big harma and the list goes on. satan works to make the abnormal normal and so do rinos and dems. they are a very evil and malevolent crowd and both truly hate us, the citizens of the USA.

RochesterDon's avatar

Yes please on polycrisis tomorrow. Regarding vaccine safety nonsense I am living proof of the hazards of combining the Pfizer Covid vaccine and the shingles vaccine having suffered a meaningful stroke one week to the day after being given shingles shot #1 on top of the terrible Covid vaccine. You can rest assured no more of either will be entering my body ever again….
