Limited hangouts collide with Kennedy’s HHS reforms; Trump deploys JAGs to DC; WaPo flails over Bolton raids; the Times runs its most morally bankrupt Proxy War puff piece yet; and more.
At a visit to the Albuquerque zoo last week, a man holding up a primate skull was giving lessons on animal intelligence. He said that scientists have discovered crows are extremely intelligent. As we’ve learned from our own “expert class”, intelligence is no substitute for decency.
We had a murder of crows in a neighbor’s huge oak tree that hangs over our yard for several weeks. They woke us every morning with their raucous squawking that continued until the sun went down. I couldn’t understand where they came from as we don’t normally have crows. As it turns out, the greens on the golf course that runs behind my house were being replanted, and the crows were following the crew who scattered their lunch trash around the green. (My neighbor’s dog had a fatal pancreatic attack as a result of eating some of the trash a crow dropped into her yard.) As soon as the crew moved to another green the crows left. I much prefer the occasional call of our hawks and the rare siting of an eagle to the crows.
I was attacked by two crows earlier this summer whenever I attempted to work in my garden. They repeatedly swooped down, yelling. and striking the top of my head. I had to go out with an umbrella just to pick vegetables. Upon inspection (there had to be a reason for the sudden hostility) I discovered that a fledgling was behind my rose bushes, near the garden, and I learned from the internet that fledging involves their being on the ground while encouraged/protected by their parents. So I understand the dive bombing of me was parental protection. Give me hummingbirds over crows any day. Their occasional dive bombing is far less painful and annoying.
I much prefer the diminutive hummers as well - but that was a truly interesting story about the "dive bombing crows", Essay--and makes perfect sense too!
I free range my chickens and have welcomed a pair of crows to our meadow. We’ve not had a single hawk attack since they “moved in”, after experiencing many issues with the hawks over the years. They have become both watchdogs and deterrents and we’re glad to have them nearby.
We have red tailed hawks in our neighborhood. A friend explained that the crows go after the hawks to protect the small birds, which is fine by me. There are plenty of rodents in the woods around the creek that runs through so they’ll never go hungry.
Neighborhood birds went bananas when crows attacked a robin’s nest right at my front door. Interesting that several species of birds joined the fight. I ran the 2crows away and climbed a step-ladder to put the 2 babies back into the nest.
Excellent saying that I have used many times…And corollary to that is when solving a problem with others, spend 10% of your time focusing on the who, what, when, where, and why of the problem, and 90% of your time on the solution.
I get that this is supposed to be a heartwarming fable, not avian biology, but -- it's unadulterated nonsense. Crows can fly every bit as high as eagles can. Except for birds that migrate long distances -- and thus have special evolutionary adaptations like increased red blood cells to transport more oxygen to muscle tissue -- the service ceiling of all bird species is about the same.
“Eagles fly higher than crows, reaching altitudes of up to 10,000 feet, while crows typically do not soar above 1,500 feet. This allows eagles to escape from crows that may try to attack them.”
Who can say what’s true, we’re downing in an ocean of lies.
This is quickly devolving into a useless trivia war, which I really have no desire to continue except for one thing: social media in general and Substack in particular is being infected with this saccharine goop, much of it AI-generated, and when people of faith trot it out as some kind of folk wisdom it opens them, justly, to accusations of stupidity and credulity.
Crows don't normally fly higher than 1500 ft AGL *because there's no reason for them to.* Their daily crow activities like looking for stuff to eat all take place there. Eagles go higher because that's how they feed themselves. They scan a wide area for prey and then use the stored kinetic energy to strike at it. So in the ordinary way of things a crow will give up chasing an eagle if it rises out of their flight comfort zone -- because *the crow has accomplished its goal* -- the eagle has left the crow's neighborhood.
That's not the story conveyed by this prissy little tale, though -- the crow doesn't leave off after getting what it wants, the eagle forces it to collapse from hypoxia. Which is just bone-crushingly dumb. But I've said my piece and I'm done now.
Yes, my FB feed is over run with stories such as these. Usually don't bother to dig into the veracity of them but they do go viral, which is I guess the point. But will say, the message of 'rise above' is a solid one in an era where people would rather cry about the crows and trumpet their victimhood than attempt to 'rise above'.
Interestingly, my MIL lives close to a wetland/wildlife sanctuary where literally hundreds of eagles hang out in the migratory season (Dec is peak) - there are thousands of snow geese, ducks, etc that pass through. Easy pickings for the eagles. We go up there often especially around the holidays and have yet to see a crow going after an eagle. But have seen them go after hawks in my suburban neighborhood, in packs of 2 or 3 or more, although never have had the line of sight to see how that whole skirmish ends.
I’m still struggling with my ability to differentiate between the thoughts in a crow’s mind and an eagle’s mind. I’m just happy they don’t choose to attack one another.
They do attack one another at times; crows will attempt to drive eagles away and will happily eat eagles eggs and newly hatched eagles. Eagles however tend to be the apex avian predator.
Well, I understood the purpose of the initial comment. And it’s just a literary device. But it was filled with an inaccuracy about hypoxia and ravens falling off because of that. Personally I kind of like crows and ravens. I’ve seen lots of eagles act very scavenger like.
I had an older Christian sister make a comment once, “Sometimes it’s hard to take the high road, but you still have to do it.” Tough statement, indeed… 😬
Such a reality check… Life is not always fair and we live in a broken world… 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Romans 8:28. “All things work together for good, to those who love Him, and are called according to his purpose.”
On a lighter note… We just got back from the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter in Kentucky. I would encourage everyone to go! So much great information. The Ark Encounter is great to go when the Christmas lights are out…💖
In Maine I listen all day to the crows and ravens, and to the horrid squawk of the eagles (there's been a nest in the same tree for about 30 years). I will bear this tale in mind on next visit.
If you are in Maine….you may find my substack interesting as I am in Maine…due to pushing back on our state DOE attempts to digitize education (via Gates and Apple computers and “proficiency based learning) I ended up following the money….which served me well in not falling for the Covid con.
Anyhow, do you know who our tech overlord is and what “ties” bind him and us?
Thank you. I had to drop the research somewhere….seemed like the best place was in my SS. But I realize the detail and minutia is a lot for most to absorb….we have all become accustomed to the ‘sound bite’ culture for gathering information….but I have found the devil is often in the details.
I managed to keep myself and daughters safe from the jab….but I still have not recovered from the toll these recent years has exacted during that process.
Same in my local arena. The 'reveals' are fairly long and complicated and it's hard to translate findings into soundbites. I don't have a SS but a friend in a neighboring county started one to tell the 'long stories' and she's had a hard time getting followers. People say her posts are 'too long'. Sign.
I did not finish reading this lengthy article, but there’s so much “backscratching” in Maine (& Connecticut) that it’s certainly not restricted to New England. I’m sure these types with power and money, Roux and Gates, have had a global, if not just national, impact. It’s interesting that some African leaders were smart enough to reject their offers, compared to Americans and Europeans.
Oh yes, the billionaire club wielding such influence is not confined to New England. When doing my due diligence and research around education….I would compare notes and research with mothers/researchers in places like Tulsa, Oklahoma and Pennsylvania….and they would be able to speak to the philanthropaths operating in their neck of the woods….often using the same playbook. And we could find the intersections of influence and power.
I’ve certainly seen hawks turn on a couple of crows that were pestering it. The crows were dive-bombing the hawk when it suddenly turned upside down in mid-air and whack the crow with its talons. It then serenely flew off. 😎
This is a great story and has lessons for us all, but it is not true. We have eagle nests in our neighborhood. We personally witness other smaller birds going after them. I did research which concurred with that.
In my neighborhood in south AL, the only bird I've seen chase after owls, hawks and crows are the mighty mockingbird, while all the other little ones run for cover. They've become my favorite because of their bravery.
I believe the mockingbird is still the state bird of Florida. We have them here, too. They go after anything if it is nesting season - dogs and people get dive bombed. My husband knows how to whistle to them and they whistle back. They hang out near our (really work) squirrel proof feeders, but are meat eaters. We have a baby squirrel who doesn't weigh enough yet to trigger the squirrel proof part. Hilarious to watch. When it gets bigger, it will have to stop being a freeloader. We have great habitat for all creatures. Bunnies all over the place, but I think birds of prey are getting some. I was hoping to have sufficient bunny numbers so I could quit mowing. Alas. No! Life is good.
Great story and you’re one of my favorite posters, by the way!
I do have to note, however, that about two weeks ago, my husband watched as an eagle attacked a crow (who was eating peanuts at our deck’s feeder). The crow escaped, and the eagle flew away. Before that, I didn’t realize that either one would attack the other. We live very close to a large lake in eastern Oklahoma.
Interesting about the eagle and the crow. From the comments today they seem to certainly have an animosity for one another. I hope they can find a path to peace one day
As an aside…I bought my first ever pair of American Eagle jeans at the age of 58 a couple of days ago. I was NOT the youngest person in the store. All ages represented. Everyone smiling. Everyone happy. The people are speaking.
Two things come to mind with Cracker Barrel. First is the company was founded on Christian family values. The left targets companies that exemplify Christian values. The second thing that comes to mind is ESG. Corporations are rated by their adherence to ESG. The higher the score the more favorable they are treated. We’ve heard much about DEI going away but little about eliminating ESG or the governing organization that is responsible for the ratings.
"An ESG score is a quantitative rating used to evaluate a company’s performance in three areas: Environmental, Social, and Governance."
"Raters" and "evaluators" are companies who, like Moody's and Standard and Poor's, rate the credit-worthiness of other businesses, directly impacting the interest rates at which they can get loans. Otherwise credit-worthy companies can be down-rated by woke-captured evaluating agencies for not doing enough to further woke goals.
It's back-door politicization of financial markets and it's nefarious.
I read about ESG and the monitoring board (or what ever it’s called) during Trumps first term I believe. That and the SEC Senior Executive Committee that takes direction from someone in the administration and then incorporates those directions into their corporation. I read they have more power than Congress and can’t be removed. At one time I had a chart showing the members but like other things it’s been removed from the internet or I can’t find it again.
Things changed when the old man died. For example, the heirs started serving beer at the restaurant. Then they started messing with the menu and the food. The quality of the food has seriously gone down hill.
I know the big push was to have a high ESG score but if I remember right investors put the brakes on that since they expect to earn a return on their investments. States were pulling their pension plan funds from companies who put hight ESG scores above ROIs. We have slowed the woke attempts to destroy our traditions but apparently there are still some out tbere who have not yet gotten the message or learned from the Bud Lignt fiasco. They are still trying to come back from that poor decision.
Bring back the old man and make Sydney Sweeney his granddaughter. Put them both in AE overalls. Win win for two brands. Cracker Barrel has good jeans. They could even carry AE jeans jackets with THAT new logo!
Masino is CEO of Cracker Barrel not because she magically appeared out of nowhere. She was chosen by the movers and shakers at Cracker Barrel because they WANTED her. I don't wish for Cracker Barrel to turn this fiasco around. They showed who they are. They should never recover, they suck. Spend your money elsewhere, now and forever. Bad as Mulvaney was, she was not top AB management. I'll never, ever buy another Bud Light, and do my best to avoid all AB products, because they were hesitant to correct. This is worse, coming straight from top management from the get-go.
Only been to Cracker Barrel a couple times and it was okay…nothing extraordinary to me. So I’m not so attached to the brand, but know they are making a wrong move for sure…
I'm so disappointed in Cracker Barrel. I have a $100 gift card there and I think I'm going to spend it online at their store. We have bought gift cards at CB for years for our elderly relatives. Bye Bye Cracker Barrel! You used to be so fun.
Their food has gone downhill over the past few years. I used to enjoy eating there but not any longer. Their meat is very processed. For example, on Thursday's they offer a turkey dinner special. It once was sliced pieces of turkey now it's like the "school lunch" block of pressed "turkey".
Somewhere I read they think Blackrock or VanGuard will short the sale if Cracker Barrel stock and own it, so all this was planned. I couldn’t quite get my head around it.
blackrock and vanguard are wicked sinister. i got out of all my vanguard portfolios when i found out who they truly are and told them that as i closed the accounts.
Precisely. Has anyone checked to see if the CB and Anheuser CEOs and ad directors shorted their employer's stock before "rebranding"? Nancy Pelosi is not the only bigwig pulling down companies to inflate a portfolio's worth.
Sunshine. Holy crap you are right. Blackrock has horned in on Costco as well so that they want to take down Cracker Barrel is hardly a surprise. . Prsident of Costco board was a Blackrock V.P. until 2022 when Costco sold out. Costco is slowly also being torn down like the frog in warm water slowly warming to boil. PEOPLE WAKE UP!
Gal 55. Interesting. Regular people see no good...but thats not what it's about. I'm understanding it's about stripping it of all it's value FOR THE SHORT TERM MONEY return FOR THE FEW ELITES and they leave the garbage behind for peasants to clean up. But peasants aren't realizing it's like robbing a bank but not being covered by FDIC. We don't get it back ever!
I took my grand daughter school shopping, and bought a pair of American Eagle jeans for myself too! I saw a display labeled "mom jeans" and knew it was meant for me, not quite-as-wide legs, and fit perfect. I recommend them.
exactly - our side always speaks with our wallets and we do it very well these days. I am so stunned by how there seem to be no grownups in the room running Cracker Barrel. Doesn't anyone at all say "hmm....this might not be the best idea to throw our iconic brand out the window?"
This is another failure of marketing to “read the room.” I wonder that these high-salaried do this crap to prove they are worth the multi M salary. The Bud Light gal FdAFO.🙄🙄
Barnjai. Well I have to admit their food sucks and isn't healthy. So closing is the other option for locations where people are wanting more healthy options.
I really enjoy Cracker Barrel. I love the fireplace, the rocking chairs and the store that sells some really cool stuff. The food is not gourmet but it's good and my father-in-law loves it. It's good country food that he has eaten his whole life. The wait stuff is almost always attentive and friendly and eating there is fun. The after church crowd is always there and they pack the place on Sunday. PLUS, they let us camp in their parking lot overnight when we are on the road. Camping is free but they appreciate it if you eat at least one meal there. I just really have a hard time saying anything bad about Cracker Barrel.
I had American Eagle jeans back in the early 2000s and remember liking them. Granted that was back when I was tall, super skinny, and shaped like a garden stake: all straight, no curves. But glad to hear it’s getting the attention it deserves for fighting the woke monster…
I was raised and still adhere to “Sunday best.” If I would dress appropriately to meet an executive, I should dress even more appropriately to attend a celebration for the Almighty.
I have no holy attire, just jeans and tops. I worship God under a beautiful old tree where hummingbirds and butterflies come to feed on the flowers that grow around the tree. Squirrels, bunnies, turkeys and tortoises come to feed in the area too. I cannot think of a more beautiful church to worship in.
Romans 1:19-23 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things."
Rom.ans 3:19-20"...whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God. For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin."
But when we believe we chose to obey to please the One who saves us. Don't hide The Light inside you from believers or unbelievers. It's His command for our own good and the good of the rest of the family and His kingdom community.
You speak as though you believe in God but you didn't seem to know it care what He wants or you think you know by some magical/spiritual intuition that frankly would have to put you on equal footing as God to know in that way. Yes most religions teach that or they even make up stories about how they can because they are next to God. There's only one true God and one true Spirit and He expects you to be searching for what He wants. Other ppl are hypocrites is no excuse before God. Your idea of nice is not going to stand up to God sacrificing His love in Christ to pay for your rebellion against knowing Him and His ways. 'His ways are not like our ways. "Even Satan and his demons believe..." whole heartedly in God and witnessed the death and resurrection of Christ but they would not bow to His Lordship. How will you be obedient? That's the question that is between you and Him.
I once knew a woman personally who felt that her Sunday worship was best spent riding her horse. She came on holidays and explained that Sunday fellowship and worship weren't for her. Very sadly her horse spooked and trampled her to death one worship Sunday morning. Very heartbreaking. She pretended to believe but she didn't like to bow.
Colossians 3:12-16 "Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God."
Yes there are many who profess and are not. Many churches established for hundreds of years are ruled by men that do not know God but sell God's Holy Word.
People dress for church/mass like they are going to the beach or on a picnic. Unbelievable how people disrespect God’s house! Talking loudly and moving around a lot and children screaming is today’s church. Do people attend synagogue dressed so badly?
God does care how we dress. Whatever you do, do your best. Be clean as best you can. Be modest. Don't try to draw attention to yourself in ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM. Men remove your hat. Adult women wear your head covering during worship. Not addressed and then resinded. It's NT. 🤷🏻♀️
I do from time to time. And there are extremely valid reasons for it, involving respect, reverence and holiness. One of course could argue that putting a piece of fabric over her hair doesn't in and of itself make a woman holier. What wearing a veil and a skirt (women) or removing a hat and putting on pants and a shirt rather than shorts and a sports team jersey (men) does is make everyone involved think a bit more about where they are, and what they are doing there, and why. We've lost the capacity to dress appropriately and we treat church services, weddings, and funerals like they're a trip to the grocery store or a baseball game. And then we wonder why our society has become one of selfish amoral sloppiness...
I admit - when we had young kids & all the activities and such there were times where we came straight from somewhere else (especially if we opted for the 5PM Sat mass) in whatever, and was grateful that our church had a 'come as you are' vibe. But had a pastor about 15 years ago that did implement a dress code that said shorts. flip flops, spaghetti straps, etc were not appropriate for church. Our kids were teens by then and I was OK with that too, although we had a slacker moment or 2. Today our pews are a mixed bunch - everything from kids in baseball uniforms to men in suits and everything in between. I lean towards - I am just glad they are there - we all need more Jesus, although occasionally I will think: really!? when someone is especially casual like they just finished mowing the lawn.
There is so much hypocrisy I have experienced in many different churches so I don't go. I would rather have a sloppy dresser with a kind heart than holy attire on someone who is not kind and hypocritical.
Well, of course! Anyone would agree with this. But as one of my favorite French detective show characters said, when someone commented on how overdressed she was for the morgue: "Dressing elegantly is a sign of politeness to the world." I always consider that it is respectful to dress well, because someone has to look at me.
Hypocrisy is no excuse for true believers to avoid God's good command that we fellowship and worship together. Your judgement of God's servants display your own unbelief. If you make up your own rules then you are your own God, which is the only sin we need to be saved from. Every commandment after that is how to please your Lord. Who is your Lord? Are you being obedient to Him and how do you know?
Oh how I wish these young people in the prime of their working lives would have told their employers to pound sand when coerced to get the clot shot. They actually held all the cards and didn’t even know it. Employers in many industries are struggling to find employees now.
I told my son who received a mandated notice that if he had to lose his job, sell his home and move in with me, I would do everything I could for him. Thank God, he was granted a religious exemption.
Ditto my son, his wife and 3 kids. He hung on unlike a lot of his coworkers who buckled under the threat. He never missed one day and they dropped the mandate.
Mine gave up his highly successful military career when they mandated the shot. Walked away with no pension and no benefits after 13 years. I'm probably more bitter about that than he is; he got picked up by an airline and is happily flying commercial planes now. The same strength of character that led him to be an outstanding officer led him to refuse the vax. Pity the military wouldn't recognize that in time to keep him.
My DIL, a newly minted RN, signed a paper without consulting anyone, which ostensibly requested a religious exemption but which also included the damnable sentence: "I understand that if my exemption is not granted, I will resign."
My kids all in their late 30’s and early 40’s at the time got the clot shot. I begged them not to. Various ailments have besieged them, tests, surgeries, but none of it attributable to the shots. They will never think it more than another vaccine that didn’t work as proscribed, much like the flu shot….sadly.
Unfortunately, much of that has to do with the (deliberate) naming of these as vaccines. They are mRNA transfections and that distinction is massive. Flu shots as crap as they are deliver inactivated proteins (and some other junk), but transfections actively alter any cell they come into contact with. This could be any cell (and large numbers) of any organ connected through the bloodstream and not cordoned off (ironically the respiratory system is in a way because it has a separate immune system). These organs include heart, brain, endothelium etc. Transfected cells are destroyed by cytotoxic Tcells because they will display foreign proteins on their surface. The number of cells transfected and their specific location (ie organ) means highly variable outcome. Then to add insult to injury, humoral antibodies elicited by transfections ( or standard vaccines) play no significant role in fighting mucosal infections.
You're right they sold the jab scam by calling them vaccines. I'm glad they did because now there is more skepticism of traditional vaccines. That's a good thing.
I agree 100%, but the media will never question the efficacy or deadly affects of this bioweapon, and unfortunately like much of what has happened in the last 5 years, the media is still where many go for info.
One friend dropped dead (heart attack) within a few days of mRNA. 2 others have turbo cancer. Strange how I can’t talk about this with friends and family as they all got the jab.
Just had a conversation with retired dentist who most likely got cardiac issues including a fib and has complicated ablation procedure, on eliquis for life because she is female, thin, 65, and now a fib. Is traveling to Ireland and is afraid of getting sick so is getting a flu shot. I shook my head no as she understands the vax probably injured her. She said oh the flu vaccine is safe, it’s been around forever and I don’t want to get sick!
Geez. The number of people who despite the whole COVID thing have yet to read some fundamental immunology is staggering. Even without the risks of a flu shot they won't prevent illness.
or disabled, limitations on work, cognitive issues, the intentional LONG CoVid BioWeapon results with added and far worse Long-VAXX symptoms for tens of millions
Yes. I lectured all my kids not to give in. Only one did because her employer said they would let her go, and she and her husband had just bought a house. Then two weeks after she had one shot the mandate was dropped. I can't even tell you how angry she is about this.
It was just like Gilda Radner doing her Emily Litella skits. For months (and for some, years) it is, "Get the jab or you will be fired. You are a danger to everyone." Then it suddenly turns into a mild and mousy "Nevermind."
The lie that was Covid to coerce millions to take a toxic lethal injection needs a reckoning of accountability. It was not just malicious intent, it was pure evil, a massacre of innocents while its architects and enablers profited in the billions.
Will there ever be a reconning for the evil perpetrators of this vaccine fraud? When we were told Covid would be in US in 3 months but don’t worry..the government would have a vaccine for It by then I thought..they’re telling us they are not going to know what long term side effects may be. It didn’t add up.
My friends daughter fourty-something pharmacist from Massachusetts posted on FB
This is her post on Facebook
"Dear All,
“Some of you already know this but others of you don’t. I wasn’t quite sure how to share this…
One year ago almost to the day, on a beautiful spring day while at my son’s baseball game I received a phone call that would change my life forever.
I had started experiencing some limping that February soon after going skiing with my younger one , which at that time I didn’t know would be our last time. After various doctor visits over the next few months, I had an EMG done on that beautiful May day. The results of that EMG were not something I even considered. The three letters that would become my diagnosis would send a shock not only through me but through those closest to me. I had ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. The irony of receiving this diagnosis at a baseball field…
ALS is a terminal neurological disorder that robs you of the ability to walk, talk and eventually breathe. It has a life expectancy of 2-5 years.
One year after I received my diagnosis, I have severe muscle weakness and require assistance for most, even the basic activities.
Some days I still have trouble understanding how I went from running half marathons, skiing and being active to spending my days in a wheelchair. Life is so unpredictable.
As hard as it is for me to experience getting weaker every day, I know this is just as hard on those who love me and are watching this progression on an ongoing basis.
Having said all of the above, I feel so incredibly blessed. I have been surrounded by so many people, both family and friends, who love me and are there for me in so many ways. The love of those closest to me and my community that I have experienced is beyond what I ever expected. I will be forever grateful.
As someone very dear to me reminds me, every day is a gift. Don’t take it for granted. Live, love and be grateful. 💕🙏🏻💕"
I want all of the experts that got it wrong,or were afraid to admit the truth, to be punished by reading these posts all day long for the rest of their life.
Sadly, a friend of mine told me a similar story about a co-worker. She believed her ALS was caused by the v & she died in less than a year from diagnosis. Tragic, Evil, ……
Financial advisors urge clients to have 6 months' worth of expenses in liquid form. Was discussing with husband recently -- all those highly-paid sports stars who took the jab and kept the salary rather than bow out, and refuse it. Aaron Williams and Novak Djokovic....
Academic Wrong Think: “almost half of deaths wouldn’t happen if we had a death rate that matched our peers. Among those aged 25 to 44, a group we call ‘early adults,’ it’s 62 percent—nearly two out of three deaths at those early ages.”
This is backward and may explain why this sort of academic is useless.
1.) If 1/2 of these tragic deaths had not occurred the death rate would be like other, similar countries.
2.) They refer to young adults and even some middle-aged as 'early adults.' Really? GenX and Boomers alike are accustomed to the understanding of those that pass to be 'late.' Of course, they mean that these young adults died too soon but 'early' really?
3.) Almost two thirds of deaths were "sudden and unexpected."
I wish they would take one of the "cleanup covid" ideas (apparently everyone need to clean up whether you got the spike protein from the vaccine or the virus?? ) protocols that are out there. So many easy solutions to so many things that we have been told relentlessly are hard to fix, just so someone can make a lot of money when we use their way to fix it.
And yet, they are still being picky when it comes to hiring people. Hubby can't get a job and places he's applied to and could easily do are still hiring 6 months later, but won't give him the time of day.
Antivaxxers are like “anti-modern medicine.” We’d let nature and the body heal itself. The only reason we should EVER go to modern medicine is Trauma Care.
My motto when I was raising kids was we only go to the doctor if we are on fire or bleeding. My kids were taken care of the old fashioned way. Castor oil, cold packs, lots of rest, in the old honey and whiskey sore throat medicine. It seemed to work! I also use a lot of aromatherapy, because it does have some scientific backing, no matter what a doctor tells you. I only go to medical Doctors if I absolutely have to. Naturopaths are fine. My dentist is a naturopathic dentist. We just have to be smart enough to look for the choices and take them.
Usually getting older means having more health issues. Going on more meds. Having more doctor appointments. But a funny thing happened to my family over the past seven years or so since I have become more educated on natural remedies and less reliant on the medical/pharmaceutical industrial complex: my family is healthier. We hardly ever need the “experts” anymore.
Hello Barbara, I've never had a kidney stone before so can't speak from experience. However, a company I trust that sells excellent natural supplements is Barlow Herbal. Two tinctures that are beneficial for the urinary track are Chanca Piedra and Kidney Cleanse.
re: "Regular readers know I’ve very little patience left for the failing expert classes."
Let us not forget these are the same experts who got their expertise from diploma mills and 3 day gubmint classes telling them what to think - not how to truly resolve a problem - which is why we always get the "experts are baffled" BS. All of them have very limited real world experience in their area of "expertise" except to present the approved narrative of the evil left - they are like your average "tenured" college "professor" who has spent years telling us how to do things while never having done them. Hence forth, whenever we mention them, be it relating to the pLandemic, economics, etc, we should refer to them as "Cabbage Experts" possessing the same amount of limited brain function as Resident Autopen Cabbage... anyone with a functioning brain knows with certainty it is why he was unlawfully placed in office and it is the same for the "Cabbage Experts".
I have come to the point that when I see or hear the word "expert" in anything, I move on. Tell me what you think you know and let me decide whether you might be an expert.
Oh, that is rich. "Just because you can charge someone with a crime, doesn't mean you should." Jeff, I don't know how you hang in there every day and read the liberal's dung then present it to us with brilliant ananlysis and humor but I guess somebody has to do it. Cheers my friend! We've never actually met but your incisive commentary which I have enjoyed for a few years now, helps me get started in the morning as I live my life in which I try not to commit crimes in the first place so I don't have to rely on our justice system to flip a coin and determine if I should be charged because they can if the political benefits call for it. Wow! And I thought "The Twilight Zone" was weird. I don't think even Rod Serling could have dreamed up that one.
Don Surber's substack touches lightly on this today from a racial point of view. He lists all the black women who have been put in positions of power and have subsequently wreaked havoc.
Which brought to mind something a fire chief told me back in 1970. I was challenging him about a new hire at the fire department. She was a slight little thing, about 90 lb. I could pick her up at that point. And I'm a woman.
So I asked him why they would do that. What was the purpose in hiring a woman who could absolutely, obviously not do the job. He laughed and said that's the point. We hire people we know can't do the job so we can prove that they shouldn't be hired. It was their form of resistance to that affirmative action nonsense that was going on in the 70s.
I wonder if the method to The madness of putting a pregnant woman in there, and doing a piece about her in the newspaper is for that same reason. Show how ridiculous it is, show how it doesn't work, and show how desperate things have become.
Well, I could write a book. But to keep it short, I will say one problem was men. You can probably guess the problems I had some would refuse to work with me and others wanted to for ulterior motives. Secondly, we are not mentally and physically created for those things. I was a very strong capable young woman, but my upper body strength was not equal. Climbing onto the back of a truck with a 50 pound war bag and a weapon, men would help each other. Nobody would give me a hand. Because like I said, a lot of men didn’t want me there and I had to work twice as hard for half the respect of my fellow airmen. We are created to be more caregivers than warriors and it is a mental challenge IMO to do those jobs.
“We’ll never develop protocols, treatments, or genuine public-health safeguards to save the people who’ve been hurt if the official line remains, “shhh.”
And if they keep ignoring the white fibrous clots that were never seen until the shots rolled out, a treatment or prevention will never be found
Laura, did you see Steve's VSRF Rumble last Thursday and all the pics of the clots they are finding in the living and in those who have left us? Appalling. I can't hate enough all those that brought this to our doorsteps.
And I asked Tom Haviland to make sure he sent that video to Livio so that they could show it to the audience.
I was also texting Livio the link and timestamp where Wally Hooker spoke in the Died Suddenly film. It’s what prompted Tom to look into the embalmer clots. And then God orchestrated my partnering with Tom. 🥰
Me too, live. You work miracles, I tell you. You are a blessing to all of us with your hard work and dedication. Thank you for loving humanity so much.
Oh Lori. Thank you for these encouraging words. At times I feel like I’m fighting the wrong battle with so many other evil things going on like abortion and child trafficking. Things that affect the innocent littles. I pray often for the Lord to guide me where I can make a difference.
I understand. I never thought we would live to see such days of malevolent evil so in our faces. We need to protect the innocent indeed. We must keep praying and ask God to harken unto our prayers that evil can be abolished while we live to see it. I remember how life was before March of 2020. And to think I ever complained about anything back then.
“Millennials should be furious. It’s a genocide. Or a “democide” — defined as “the intentional killing of an unarmed or disarmed person by government agents acting in their authoritative capacity and pursuant to government policy or high command.””
——————
As a millennial I am. I’m trying as hard as possible to warn as many about this—and other atrocities—as much as possible. I literally have an podcast called: “the millennial genocide” : https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/the-millennial-genocide
Have to say, I cannot stand the term "democide"--such bad form to mix languages :). But really, the demos is Greek, the -cide, Latin. Plebicide would, IMHO, be preferable. Plebs being the Roman equivalent of demos. Tried to get Ed Dowd on board with this a few years ago...his ears were closed.
Fully agree. Every single expert that got it badly wrong should be fired. It's called "accountability". While at it, include the bad, clearly conflicted judges and profoundly misguided "economists".... (remember "modern monetary theory" madness???).
Yes, absolutely. But how to account for that very balanced genius wearing an I'm always right hat? For all the good that has been influenced, there remain uge questions around warped speed in quite a few minds. Could a dash of humility be bartered for little less righteous outrage? Will both camps continue to ignore to keep their 'safe' narratives?
While many of us can accept that “He didn’t know what he didn’t know”, I’m sure he knows now, and we can’t understand why he still boasts about warp speed. He bragged about it in an interview that followed the Putin meeting . It is offensive to the legions of people who are either sick or injured, or suffered the death of loved ones. Not to mention, the damned injections are still on market. I believe that members of his own family have even warned him about this. I am very happy with so many of the things he has done, but I do think he can’t admit when he makes a serious mistake, or that he was duped. And I do believe he was duped.
The Professor is awesome. Quiet, unassuming, straight forward. Lost his position because he refused the shot and refused to regurgitate the approved narrative. Like our humble C&C leader, one of the OGs of the quiet resistance.
That article on Lincoln and Trump was stellar. I have shared it far and wide already. I will subscribe. What an amazing author and man of integrity and foresight.
I'm with you on the expert purge. Time for them is up. At the same time, we need to build a new education system for the next set so that they deliver value to humanity.
Personally I think it will be better when AI diagnoses. It can’t be bought by big pharma. I guess the only concern is what info gets fed into its brain
Unfortunately, AI is not without bias. It is programmed. The algorithms look for published information, and give the most weight to long established publications, such as the New York Times. And you better believe big Pharma profits from this fact. I mentioned once before that Matt Tabi and Walter Kirn have proposed the idea that the corporate media at this point is putting on a performance for AI. They know that they are lying, and that many of us see through it. And yet they persist.
"They know that they are lying, and that many of us see through it. And yet they persist."
...and AI memorizes the patterns apace, adding "weight" to the likelihood that the prevalence of the lies will result in their being chosen as "answers" to the less-popular "truth."
Why would you want that? A machine is not a human. Trying to replace GOD is what science is about. It takes what GOD made and says "not good enough" we can improve it. Straight from satan and his followers. Read the Watchers..book of Enoch
I found this article on how ChatGPT is undermining our ability to train students to use knowledge for understanding. We will need to choose new ways to educate people for our future.
Except the “new experts” were trained by the same morons who were the “old experts” we wanna purge 😒
How do we bring in a new class of free thinking science based critical thinker experts who will be intelligent enough to help diagnose and treat while still understanding they do not know everything and won’t force their intelligence on patients and the people?
Please check out and support the IMA, (the independent medical alliance formally called FLCCC). They are trying to build a parallel medical system without conflict of interest and open to alternative and natural treatments. They have amazing protocols for many diseases. They already have their own medical journal, and someday down the road they hope to have their own medical school. They are growing fast!
Thank you for considering doing that as well. They do such wonderful work and help so many people. Doing the same for the Children's Health Defense as they fight to protect our children.
I remember when I got married being coached by my female boss (who had a hyphenated name) to keep my own name and do the same. She was solemn with her advice that it would make or break my career. I just stared at her blankly while in my mind I threw my maiden name in the trash. That name was NOT my identity. I did not want to hyphenate. It seemed too politically correct, and like I was just abandoning my own identity to embrace and support their identity and ideology about marriage. Maybe that’s why she was so emphatic about it, because they needed more women asserting their independence in marriage. I saw first hand as far back as the late 80s and 90s how women felt they had to assert their independence and power with hyphenating their last name and they pressured each other to do it.
I became one with my husband. I love him that much and I wanted “our” identity, not mine. “But he gets to keep his identity…” some argue. Well that was God’s intent and how it has been done for many millennia. It’s just a surname. He left his family too and became one with me. He placed me ahead of all of them. We are a team. His name became my name and I did not abandon anything at all but strongly embraced my own beliefs to reflect God’s design. I love my decision. And frankly, I’m the kind of personality that is described by some overly legalistic men as “a woman who wears the pants in the family” - so I’m no shrinking violet because of my decision. I honor my husband by taking his name and making a lifelong commitment to his namesake. We see ourselves as a team regardless that it’s all under his name.
Irked me no end when a hyphenated child entered my classroom: I always had to write the whole darned thing--the kid himself? Only one of those names. He knew it was fake.
There is a trend now to take half of each of their last names and blend it together to make a completely new last name. Kind of like when Ben Affleck dated Jennifer Lopez and they became know as Beniffer, however, they are using their last names.
I would say this is the dumbest thing ever, but there's the They/Them, Ze/Zah thing that tops it.
Good morning from the edge of the Sonoran Desert in rural AZ. Where the liberals are few and far between, the coyotes and scorpions reign, and only those in relocated Cali gated communities are vaxxed. And everyone is armed. It's a little slice of heaven.
Everyone sane in Washington is held hostage, and many of us are counting the months until we escape. I've lost track of how many times I've said "Never mind about fixing/changing/adding/removing [insert home item here] we aren't staying. Let the next owner deal with it."
One of four: Vancouver, WA; or Half Moon Bay, CA; or Monterey Bay, CA; or San Buenaventura, CA. Growing up in New York beside the Hudson River, I like the water, especially the ocean at sunset.
I have many good friends in CA, mostly college basketball buddies. West of the Mighty Mississip = the Left Coast. I might return to Poughkeepsie one day, when I'm dead. Many family members and ancestors are buried in Dutchess and Ulster counties. One is even buried in tony Westchester County, after he was murdered in Sing Sing Prison in 1931.
My grandfather's younger brother was a poor, uneducated, petty thief. Mother died when he was two, grandpa was four. Pretty much abandoned. One went straight, the other veered into crime. Couldn't get out. Not violent, though. Never assaulted anything, except common sense. His murder was recounted in the New York Times. Story was hidden by relatives, for some reason. Uncovered this info after my daughter was born, when I started researching my inglorious family history.
So very interesting what our ancestors faced in their lives. I have a few that fought and died in the Civil War. I am sorry he was murdered since his crimes were just petty and that he never hurt anyone. The family was most likely embarrassed so it is understandable they hid it all as best they could. We all have to be thankful when our children, grandchildren stay on the straight and narrow.
From FollowingJesus substack:
The only bird that dare attack an eagle is the crow. But the eagle never fights back. Why?
The crow is the only bird bold enough to sit on the eagle's back and peck at its neck.
Relentless. Annoying.
But the eagle... stays calm.
The eagle doesn't flap. Doesn't fight. Doesn't waste energy. It does one thing: It rises.
The higher the eagle soars. The thinner the air becomes. The crow? It can't handle the altitude.
Eventually, the crow gasps. Loses strength...And falls off.Not because the eagle attacked
But because the eagle ascended.
Let the crows talk. Let them peck. You don't have to respond. Just keep going higher.
They can't follow you forever. Your growth will suffocate their noise. So don't engage. Elevate.
Psalm 18:27 For You will save the humble people, But will bring down haughty looks.
Wonderful story!
I love your analogy!
Wow! We witnessed this all the time. When we see a tree being attacked by a murder of crows, we know there is an eagle sitting in it!
At a visit to the Albuquerque zoo last week, a man holding up a primate skull was giving lessons on animal intelligence. He said that scientists have discovered crows are extremely intelligent. As we’ve learned from our own “expert class”, intelligence is no substitute for decency.
Crows are decent too!
We love our crows!
We had a murder of crows in a neighbor’s huge oak tree that hangs over our yard for several weeks. They woke us every morning with their raucous squawking that continued until the sun went down. I couldn’t understand where they came from as we don’t normally have crows. As it turns out, the greens on the golf course that runs behind my house were being replanted, and the crows were following the crew who scattered their lunch trash around the green. (My neighbor’s dog had a fatal pancreatic attack as a result of eating some of the trash a crow dropped into her yard.) As soon as the crew moved to another green the crows left. I much prefer the occasional call of our hawks and the rare siting of an eagle to the crows.
I have always thought "murder of crows" is the most apt phrase ever created. They are the most obnoxious birds on the planet.
I have 2 I rehabbed and they are just lovely and smarter than most humans.
I was attacked by two crows earlier this summer whenever I attempted to work in my garden. They repeatedly swooped down, yelling. and striking the top of my head. I had to go out with an umbrella just to pick vegetables. Upon inspection (there had to be a reason for the sudden hostility) I discovered that a fledgling was behind my rose bushes, near the garden, and I learned from the internet that fledging involves their being on the ground while encouraged/protected by their parents. So I understand the dive bombing of me was parental protection. Give me hummingbirds over crows any day. Their occasional dive bombing is far less painful and annoying.
Hummingbirds are just grand!
I much prefer the diminutive hummers as well - but that was a truly interesting story about the "dive bombing crows", Essay--and makes perfect sense too!
I free range my chickens and have welcomed a pair of crows to our meadow. We’ve not had a single hawk attack since they “moved in”, after experiencing many issues with the hawks over the years. They have become both watchdogs and deterrents and we’re glad to have them nearby.
Have you named the crows yet? Seems like they are part of your extended family now:}
Or a Great Horned Owl!
Owls are nocturnal.
Night time is not a good time to sit in a tree nest of any kind.
Mortal enemies are the owl and crow.
We have red tailed hawks in our neighborhood. A friend explained that the crows go after the hawks to protect the small birds, which is fine by me. There are plenty of rodents in the woods around the creek that runs through so they’ll never go hungry.
Anne, crows will kill and eat baby birds. I witnessed it in my own front yard. They’re smart, abusive and always gang up on their prey.
Well, darn! I have to go with your eyewitness account.
birdsinthetree.com/do-crows-kill-other-birds/
Neighborhood birds went bananas when crows attacked a robin’s nest right at my front door. Interesting that several species of birds joined the fight. I ran the 2crows away and climbed a step-ladder to put the 2 babies back into the nest.
Or a hawk. The crows' reaction is the same.
Actually going higher and higher is a response. Eagle better do that.
My grandmother used to say, regarding a difficult situation, "Rise above it."
Mine always said, “You don’t have to attend every fight you're baited into”.
Poor grammar. Stellar advice.
"Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% of how you react to it."
Your potential gets filtered through those two percentages like a sieve =J
Excellent saying that I have used many times…And corollary to that is when solving a problem with others, spend 10% of your time focusing on the who, what, when, where, and why of the problem, and 90% of your time on the solution.
I get that this is supposed to be a heartwarming fable, not avian biology, but -- it's unadulterated nonsense. Crows can fly every bit as high as eagles can. Except for birds that migrate long distances -- and thus have special evolutionary adaptations like increased red blood cells to transport more oxygen to muscle tissue -- the service ceiling of all bird species is about the same.
“Eagles fly higher than crows, reaching altitudes of up to 10,000 feet, while crows typically do not soar above 1,500 feet. This allows eagles to escape from crows that may try to attack them.”
Who can say what’s true, we’re downing in an ocean of lies.
This is quickly devolving into a useless trivia war, which I really have no desire to continue except for one thing: social media in general and Substack in particular is being infected with this saccharine goop, much of it AI-generated, and when people of faith trot it out as some kind of folk wisdom it opens them, justly, to accusations of stupidity and credulity.
Crows don't normally fly higher than 1500 ft AGL *because there's no reason for them to.* Their daily crow activities like looking for stuff to eat all take place there. Eagles go higher because that's how they feed themselves. They scan a wide area for prey and then use the stored kinetic energy to strike at it. So in the ordinary way of things a crow will give up chasing an eagle if it rises out of their flight comfort zone -- because *the crow has accomplished its goal* -- the eagle has left the crow's neighborhood.
That's not the story conveyed by this prissy little tale, though -- the crow doesn't leave off after getting what it wants, the eagle forces it to collapse from hypoxia. Which is just bone-crushingly dumb. But I've said my piece and I'm done now.
I bet you are popular at birthday parties.
Somebody's gotta say it.
Do they Roger Beal? You are missing the whole point.
😅
I appreciate your sharing your knowledge here. I really like knowing what's true.
Yes, my FB feed is over run with stories such as these. Usually don't bother to dig into the veracity of them but they do go viral, which is I guess the point. But will say, the message of 'rise above' is a solid one in an era where people would rather cry about the crows and trumpet their victimhood than attempt to 'rise above'.
Interestingly, my MIL lives close to a wetland/wildlife sanctuary where literally hundreds of eagles hang out in the migratory season (Dec is peak) - there are thousands of snow geese, ducks, etc that pass through. Easy pickings for the eagles. We go up there often especially around the holidays and have yet to see a crow going after an eagle. But have seen them go after hawks in my suburban neighborhood, in packs of 2 or 3 or more, although never have had the line of sight to see how that whole skirmish ends.
They got confused because they’ve watched too many movies and commercials where the eagle is dubbed with a red-tailed hawk screech! 🤣
Yes, the birds at my feeders run for cover when they hear that screech!
I’m still struggling with my ability to differentiate between the thoughts in a crow’s mind and an eagle’s mind. I’m just happy they don’t choose to attack one another.
They do attack one another at times; crows will attempt to drive eagles away and will happily eat eagles eggs and newly hatched eagles. Eagles however tend to be the apex avian predator.
And I thought you were describing humans...
Thank you I too dislike saccharine stories.
Well, I understood the purpose of the initial comment. And it’s just a literary device. But it was filled with an inaccuracy about hypoxia and ravens falling off because of that. Personally I kind of like crows and ravens. I’ve seen lots of eagles act very scavenger like.
This... from someone who gathers Nanny ovum?
You just murdered a great "Eagle" story... and our tale-teller must eat Crow! 🤣
Interesting. Just goes to show, don’t believe everything you read on the interweb!
I had an older Christian sister make a comment once, “Sometimes it’s hard to take the high road, but you still have to do it.” Tough statement, indeed… 😬
Such a reality check… Life is not always fair and we live in a broken world… 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Romans 8:28. “All things work together for good, to those who love Him, and are called according to his purpose.”
On a lighter note… We just got back from the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter in Kentucky. I would encourage everyone to go! So much great information. The Ark Encounter is great to go when the Christmas lights are out…💖
Yes! The Ark Encounter is on my to do list. Excited to visit the Ark and the Museum.
Planning to go when it cools off in KY!
It was in the 80s during the day and around 60 at night with a cool breeze. The grounds are kept beautifully with flowers everywhere. ☺️
In Maine I listen all day to the crows and ravens, and to the horrid squawk of the eagles (there's been a nest in the same tree for about 30 years). I will bear this tale in mind on next visit.
If you are in Maine….you may find my substack interesting as I am in Maine…due to pushing back on our state DOE attempts to digitize education (via Gates and Apple computers and “proficiency based learning) I ended up following the money….which served me well in not falling for the Covid con.
Anyhow, do you know who our tech overlord is and what “ties” bind him and us?
https://open.substack.com/pub/lauragarcia/p/tech-overlord-roux-of-the-northeast?r=yzi9x&utm_medium=ios
That was an amazing Substack! You did quite a deep dive there ..restacked and shared to my FB page. Let those with ears to hear...🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you. I had to drop the research somewhere….seemed like the best place was in my SS. But I realize the detail and minutia is a lot for most to absorb….we have all become accustomed to the ‘sound bite’ culture for gathering information….but I have found the devil is often in the details.
I managed to keep myself and daughters safe from the jab….but I still have not recovered from the toll these recent years has exacted during that process.
Be well.
Same in my local arena. The 'reveals' are fairly long and complicated and it's hard to translate findings into soundbites. I don't have a SS but a friend in a neighboring county started one to tell the 'long stories' and she's had a hard time getting followers. People say her posts are 'too long'. Sign.
Wow!
Thank you Laura...such thorough research! You remind me of Whitney Webb.
I did not finish reading this lengthy article, but there’s so much “backscratching” in Maine (& Connecticut) that it’s certainly not restricted to New England. I’m sure these types with power and money, Roux and Gates, have had a global, if not just national, impact. It’s interesting that some African leaders were smart enough to reject their offers, compared to Americans and Europeans.
Oh yes, the billionaire club wielding such influence is not confined to New England. When doing my due diligence and research around education….I would compare notes and research with mothers/researchers in places like Tulsa, Oklahoma and Pennsylvania….and they would be able to speak to the philanthropaths operating in their neck of the woods….often using the same playbook. And we could find the intersections of influence and power.
I’ve certainly seen hawks turn on a couple of crows that were pestering it. The crows were dive-bombing the hawk when it suddenly turned upside down in mid-air and whack the crow with its talons. It then serenely flew off. 😎
Loved this. Copied and shared.
This is a great story and has lessons for us all, but it is not true. We have eagle nests in our neighborhood. We personally witness other smaller birds going after them. I did research which concurred with that.
The point is well taken, however
In my neighborhood in south AL, the only bird I've seen chase after owls, hawks and crows are the mighty mockingbird, while all the other little ones run for cover. They've become my favorite because of their bravery.
I believe the mockingbird is still the state bird of Florida. We have them here, too. They go after anything if it is nesting season - dogs and people get dive bombed. My husband knows how to whistle to them and they whistle back. They hang out near our (really work) squirrel proof feeders, but are meat eaters. We have a baby squirrel who doesn't weigh enough yet to trigger the squirrel proof part. Hilarious to watch. When it gets bigger, it will have to stop being a freeloader. We have great habitat for all creatures. Bunnies all over the place, but I think birds of prey are getting some. I was hoping to have sufficient bunny numbers so I could quit mowing. Alas. No! Life is good.
Great comment TriTorch.
Any chance you could provide a link to that followingjesus substack?
I searched, but found multiple similar names in accounts. 🙂
Hi Killi, this is the one: https://substack.com/@nutsaboutjesus/note/c-148659541
I saw this posted on X today, but without the Psalm. Nice touch!
Great story and you’re one of my favorite posters, by the way!
I do have to note, however, that about two weeks ago, my husband watched as an eagle attacked a crow (who was eating peanuts at our deck’s feeder). The crow escaped, and the eagle flew away. Before that, I didn’t realize that either one would attack the other. We live very close to a large lake in eastern Oklahoma.
Thank you for saying so Michelle, that’s encouraging:

Interesting about the eagle and the crow. From the comments today they seem to certainly have an animosity for one another. I hope they can find a path to peace one day

As an aside…I bought my first ever pair of American Eagle jeans at the age of 58 a couple of days ago. I was NOT the youngest person in the store. All ages represented. Everyone smiling. Everyone happy. The people are speaking.
Cracker Barrel, take note.
Two things come to mind with Cracker Barrel. First is the company was founded on Christian family values. The left targets companies that exemplify Christian values. The second thing that comes to mind is ESG. Corporations are rated by their adherence to ESG. The higher the score the more favorable they are treated. We’ve heard much about DEI going away but little about eliminating ESG or the governing organization that is responsible for the ratings.
"An ESG score is a quantitative rating used to evaluate a company’s performance in three areas: Environmental, Social, and Governance."
"Raters" and "evaluators" are companies who, like Moody's and Standard and Poor's, rate the credit-worthiness of other businesses, directly impacting the interest rates at which they can get loans. Otherwise credit-worthy companies can be down-rated by woke-captured evaluating agencies for not doing enough to further woke goals.
It's back-door politicization of financial markets and it's nefarious.
Robby Starbuck discusses the ESG score and the decline of CB
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/conservative-activist-slams-cracker-barrel-company-left-reeling-after-logo-redesign
It's beginning to come out. I only learned about how Moody's et al. had been taken over about a month ago.
They are the equivalent of the financial industry's Deep State.
I read about ESG and the monitoring board (or what ever it’s called) during Trumps first term I believe. That and the SEC Senior Executive Committee that takes direction from someone in the administration and then incorporates those directions into their corporation. I read they have more power than Congress and can’t be removed. At one time I had a chart showing the members but like other things it’s been removed from the internet or I can’t find it again.
How they survived after the revelations of The Big Short book/ movie I’ll never understand.
Exactly. There’s a board of some sort I recall that oversees these scores. The closer to 100 the more favorable the terms.
Hang ‘em all, I say! They’ve impoverished us financially and spiritually.
Things changed when the old man died. For example, the heirs started serving beer at the restaurant. Then they started messing with the menu and the food. The quality of the food has seriously gone down hill.
Same with Walmart. I think Sam Walton has been rolling over in his grave for years.
Rolling in his grave? More like spinning like a top!
Agree. It’s sad 😕Seems to happen to so many of these family companies too 😕
They can give a great ESG score to a company. RETURN ON INVESTMENTis the botoone.
I know the big push was to have a high ESG score but if I remember right investors put the brakes on that since they expect to earn a return on their investments. States were pulling their pension plan funds from companies who put hight ESG scores above ROIs. We have slowed the woke attempts to destroy our traditions but apparently there are still some out tbere who have not yet gotten the message or learned from the Bud Lignt fiasco. They are still trying to come back from that poor decision.
No Cracker No Barrel No Fun, that is.
Bring back the old man and make Sydney Sweeney his granddaughter. Put them both in AE overalls. Win win for two brands. Cracker Barrel has good jeans. They could even carry AE jeans jackets with THAT new logo!
Masino is CEO of Cracker Barrel not because she magically appeared out of nowhere. She was chosen by the movers and shakers at Cracker Barrel because they WANTED her. I don't wish for Cracker Barrel to turn this fiasco around. They showed who they are. They should never recover, they suck. Spend your money elsewhere, now and forever. Bad as Mulvaney was, she was not top AB management. I'll never, ever buy another Bud Light, and do my best to avoid all AB products, because they were hesitant to correct. This is worse, coming straight from top management from the get-go.
You refer to Mulvaney as a she??? Come on! Geez! He is a man in women's clothing!
I think Steel means the AB exec, not Mulvaney.
Correct. Thanks.
If I never see that name in print again it will be alright with me..
Sorry, good catch! I'll try to be more careful.
No worries. I see how it could be mistaken...
And don’t forget, her salary is $6.3 MILLION.
...and the stores have to sell something more expensive than cornbread to raise that kind of, umm, dough.
Only been to Cracker Barrel a couple times and it was okay…nothing extraordinary to me. So I’m not so attached to the brand, but know they are making a wrong move for sure…
I'm so disappointed in Cracker Barrel. I have a $100 gift card there and I think I'm going to spend it online at their store. We have bought gift cards at CB for years for our elderly relatives. Bye Bye Cracker Barrel! You used to be so fun.
Spend it quickly or you’ll be stuck choosing between coffee mugs or shirts with “rainbows.”
The website won't let me use my gift card for purchases in their online gift shop.
Their food has gone downhill over the past few years. I used to enjoy eating there but not any longer. Their meat is very processed. For example, on Thursday's they offer a turkey dinner special. It once was sliced pieces of turkey now it's like the "school lunch" block of pressed "turkey".
Such a shame to hear…it’s been years since we’ve eaten there…it was required stop on road trips when the kids were small…
I like the way you think!
Somewhere I read they think Blackrock or VanGuard will short the sale if Cracker Barrel stock and own it, so all this was planned. I couldn’t quite get my head around it.
Of course 🤡🤡🤡 tearing it down is the goal. Just like destroying prime real estate in San Francisco, Maui, to be bought at pennies on the dollar.
blackrock and vanguard are wicked sinister. i got out of all my vanguard portfolios when i found out who they truly are and told them that as i closed the accounts.
That Fink jagoff from Blackrock is now a chief schlamozzle at the WEF.
I know. Bad news.
Precisely. Has anyone checked to see if the CB and Anheuser CEOs and ad directors shorted their employer's stock before "rebranding"? Nancy Pelosi is not the only bigwig pulling down companies to inflate a portfolio's worth.
This needs to be looked into - as well as the board of directors at CB. Sell off of shares magnificently timed?
I wouldn’t know where to begin but this is a great idea.
Sunshine. Holy crap you are right. Blackrock has horned in on Costco as well so that they want to take down Cracker Barrel is hardly a surprise. . Prsident of Costco board was a Blackrock V.P. until 2022 when Costco sold out. Costco is slowly also being torn down like the frog in warm water slowly warming to boil. PEOPLE WAKE UP!
If they do they would probably go down the woke path of destruction as well so I don't know what good it would do them.
Gal 55. Interesting. Regular people see no good...but thats not what it's about. I'm understanding it's about stripping it of all it's value FOR THE SHORT TERM MONEY return FOR THE FEW ELITES and they leave the garbage behind for peasants to clean up. But peasants aren't realizing it's like robbing a bank but not being covered by FDIC. We don't get it back ever!
Me too! Two pair and I’ll be wearing them proudly. 🇺🇸
You go girl!

I took my grand daughter school shopping, and bought a pair of American Eagle jeans for myself too! I saw a display labeled "mom jeans" and knew it was meant for me, not quite-as-wide legs, and fit perfect. I recommend them.
My daughter bought a pair and loves them!
I did too and I’m 59! The sales people were excellent!
exactly - our side always speaks with our wallets and we do it very well these days. I am so stunned by how there seem to be no grownups in the room running Cracker Barrel. Doesn't anyone at all say "hmm....this might not be the best idea to throw our iconic brand out the window?"
The CEO said she made the changes because «we need a Cracker Barrel for today and tomorrow».
That’s the level of thinking. 😅
Totally meaningless.
This is another failure of marketing to “read the room.” I wonder that these high-salaried do this crap to prove they are worth the multi M salary. The Bud Light gal FdAFO.🙄🙄
Yeah I don’t really think they want it to be there “for tomorrow” from what we’ve seen so far of their strategy 😕
The Cracker Barrel in Asheville is closed.
Barnjai. Well I have to admit their food sucks and isn't healthy. So closing is the other option for locations where people are wanting more healthy options.
I really enjoy Cracker Barrel. I love the fireplace, the rocking chairs and the store that sells some really cool stuff. The food is not gourmet but it's good and my father-in-law loves it. It's good country food that he has eaten his whole life. The wait stuff is almost always attentive and friendly and eating there is fun. The after church crowd is always there and they pack the place on Sunday. PLUS, they let us camp in their parking lot overnight when we are on the road. Camping is free but they appreciate it if you eat at least one meal there. I just really have a hard time saying anything bad about Cracker Barrel.
Not there “for tomorrow” then I guess 😕
the new logo is just awful. wont be going until changed back.
Sorry, still won't be going until they learn how not to overcook vegetables.
I had American Eagle jeans back in the early 2000s and remember liking them. Granted that was back when I was tall, super skinny, and shaped like a garden stake: all straight, no curves. But glad to hear it’s getting the attention it deserves for fighting the woke monster…
Yes have a hard time with jeans as its hard to find any that fit at the waist that aren't too baggy in the legs.
I found that Maurice’s actually has better jeans as they seem to make them fit how women are ACTUALLY built, not how they WANT them to be built.
Thanks for the tip! Will have to check them out now that we are heading towards cooler weather.
Me, too. First pair. 79. Fit great!!
Bless you Mary Sholl!
I love AE and have 10 jeans from my local store! Tops are great too!

Worship the LORD in holy attire;
Tremble before Him, all the earth.
Say among the nations, “The LORD reigns;
Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved;
He will judge the peoples with equity.”
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;
Let the sea roar, and all it contains;
Let the field exult, and all that is in it.
Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy
Before the LORD, for He is coming,
For He is coming to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness
And the peoples in His faithfulness.
— Psalm 96:9-13 NAS95
✝️✝️✝️
Worship the LORD in holy attire....love this. Is He
not worthy? We dress nicely for so many other things.
(And, I'm not coming a legalistic point of view, btw.)
I was raised and still adhere to “Sunday best.” If I would dress appropriately to meet an executive, I should dress even more appropriately to attend a celebration for the Almighty.
100%
Pretty sure David (the author of Psalms?) was referring to AE jeans as holy attire. 😜
😆😁
I have no holy attire, just jeans and tops. I worship God under a beautiful old tree where hummingbirds and butterflies come to feed on the flowers that grow around the tree. Squirrels, bunnies, turkeys and tortoises come to feed in the area too. I cannot think of a more beautiful church to worship in.
Romans 1:19-23 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things."
Rom.ans 3:19-20"...whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God. For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin."
But when we believe we chose to obey to please the One who saves us. Don't hide The Light inside you from believers or unbelievers. It's His command for our own good and the good of the rest of the family and His kingdom community.
Me. Just as I am. Just as you see me now. In your words.
You speak as though you believe in God but you didn't seem to know it care what He wants or you think you know by some magical/spiritual intuition that frankly would have to put you on equal footing as God to know in that way. Yes most religions teach that or they even make up stories about how they can because they are next to God. There's only one true God and one true Spirit and He expects you to be searching for what He wants. Other ppl are hypocrites is no excuse before God. Your idea of nice is not going to stand up to God sacrificing His love in Christ to pay for your rebellion against knowing Him and His ways. 'His ways are not like our ways. "Even Satan and his demons believe..." whole heartedly in God and witnessed the death and resurrection of Christ but they would not bow to His Lordship. How will you be obedient? That's the question that is between you and Him.
I once knew a woman personally who felt that her Sunday worship was best spent riding her horse. She came on holidays and explained that Sunday fellowship and worship weren't for her. Very sadly her horse spooked and trampled her to death one worship Sunday morning. Very heartbreaking. She pretended to believe but she didn't like to bow.
Colossians 3:12-16 "Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God."
Yes there are many who profess and are not. Many churches established for hundreds of years are ruled by men that do not know God but sell God's Holy Word.
Thank you and all the best to you and yours RJ:}
Actually it's a movie quote. I'm not hiding from ppl because I didn't like them.
Good to hear!
Praise Jesus, The Lord Reigns!!!
People dress for church/mass like they are going to the beach or on a picnic. Unbelievable how people disrespect God’s house! Talking loudly and moving around a lot and children screaming is today’s church. Do people attend synagogue dressed so badly?
God does care how we dress. Whatever you do, do your best. Be clean as best you can. Be modest. Don't try to draw attention to yourself in ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM. Men remove your hat. Adult women wear your head covering during worship. Not addressed and then resinded. It's NT. 🤷🏻♀️
**God does care how we dress**. Well said!
With all God has to think about and take care of, not believing that is high on His list of priorities.
Do you go to a church that asks women to cover their head during services?
I do from time to time. And there are extremely valid reasons for it, involving respect, reverence and holiness. One of course could argue that putting a piece of fabric over her hair doesn't in and of itself make a woman holier. What wearing a veil and a skirt (women) or removing a hat and putting on pants and a shirt rather than shorts and a sports team jersey (men) does is make everyone involved think a bit more about where they are, and what they are doing there, and why. We've lost the capacity to dress appropriately and we treat church services, weddings, and funerals like they're a trip to the grocery store or a baseball game. And then we wonder why our society has become one of selfish amoral sloppiness...
I cover my head to honor God. It is my way to show extra reverence to His presence in the Tabernacle of every Catholic Church.
I do too, that’s why I asked
No. What's it to you?
Im not talking to you
Please excuse me.
I admit - when we had young kids & all the activities and such there were times where we came straight from somewhere else (especially if we opted for the 5PM Sat mass) in whatever, and was grateful that our church had a 'come as you are' vibe. But had a pastor about 15 years ago that did implement a dress code that said shorts. flip flops, spaghetti straps, etc were not appropriate for church. Our kids were teens by then and I was OK with that too, although we had a slacker moment or 2. Today our pews are a mixed bunch - everything from kids in baseball uniforms to men in suits and everything in between. I lean towards - I am just glad they are there - we all need more Jesus, although occasionally I will think: really!? when someone is especially casual like they just finished mowing the lawn.
There is so much hypocrisy I have experienced in many different churches so I don't go. I would rather have a sloppy dresser with a kind heart than holy attire on someone who is not kind and hypocritical.
Well, of course! Anyone would agree with this. But as one of my favorite French detective show characters said, when someone commented on how overdressed she was for the morgue: "Dressing elegantly is a sign of politeness to the world." I always consider that it is respectful to dress well, because someone has to look at me.
Different strokes for different folks!
You've made up your own religion. You think of yourself as very wise and good. You've missed the whole point of Jesus Christ.
Hypocrisy is no excuse for true believers to avoid God's good command that we fellowship and worship together. Your judgement of God's servants display your own unbelief. If you make up your own rules then you are your own God, which is the only sin we need to be saved from. Every commandment after that is how to please your Lord. Who is your Lord? Are you being obedient to Him and how do you know?
Its not for me RJ but you enjoy church and I am glad you have found one that feeds your Soul. Blessings!
You're really nice Lori but you aren't nice enough for heaven. No one is. We are all hypocrites.
Wishing you a wonderful week RJ!

I love Fenno Heath's setting of Psalm 96.
(My husband sang this setting in glee club ~1969, and then again with this group --although not in this particular performance)
Oh how I wish these young people in the prime of their working lives would have told their employers to pound sand when coerced to get the clot shot. They actually held all the cards and didn’t even know it. Employers in many industries are struggling to find employees now.
I told my son who received a mandated notice that if he had to lose his job, sell his home and move in with me, I would do everything I could for him. Thank God, he was granted a religious exemption.
Ditto my son, his wife and 3 kids. He hung on unlike a lot of his coworkers who buckled under the threat. He never missed one day and they dropped the mandate.
Mine gave up his highly successful military career when they mandated the shot. Walked away with no pension and no benefits after 13 years. I'm probably more bitter about that than he is; he got picked up by an airline and is happily flying commercial planes now. The same strength of character that led him to be an outstanding officer led him to refuse the vax. Pity the military wouldn't recognize that in time to keep him.
Like one of my SILs-from military officer to commercial pilot. Also an outstanding human being.
My DIL, a newly minted RN, signed a paper without consulting anyone, which ostensibly requested a religious exemption but which also included the damnable sentence: "I understand that if my exemption is not granted, I will resign."
The coercion was unforgivable. I’m with Jeff on booting everyone who took part in that.
You're right. Think of the vast multitude of petty Pol-Pots it took to implement this crime truly against nature.
Nothing like a little tin horn dictator…
I agree with you. I can't see forgiving this one.
It wasn’t that simple. They actually STILL BELIEVE IN THE VAXES. I am horrified at my grown children still duped!!!!
🙏🏼
My kids all in their late 30’s and early 40’s at the time got the clot shot. I begged them not to. Various ailments have besieged them, tests, surgeries, but none of it attributable to the shots. They will never think it more than another vaccine that didn’t work as proscribed, much like the flu shot….sadly.
Unfortunately, much of that has to do with the (deliberate) naming of these as vaccines. They are mRNA transfections and that distinction is massive. Flu shots as crap as they are deliver inactivated proteins (and some other junk), but transfections actively alter any cell they come into contact with. This could be any cell (and large numbers) of any organ connected through the bloodstream and not cordoned off (ironically the respiratory system is in a way because it has a separate immune system). These organs include heart, brain, endothelium etc. Transfected cells are destroyed by cytotoxic Tcells because they will display foreign proteins on their surface. The number of cells transfected and their specific location (ie organ) means highly variable outcome. Then to add insult to injury, humoral antibodies elicited by transfections ( or standard vaccines) play no significant role in fighting mucosal infections.
You're right they sold the jab scam by calling them vaccines. I'm glad they did because now there is more skepticism of traditional vaccines. That's a good thing.
I agree 100%, but the media will never question the efficacy or deadly affects of this bioweapon, and unfortunately like much of what has happened in the last 5 years, the media is still where many go for info.
One friend dropped dead (heart attack) within a few days of mRNA. 2 others have turbo cancer. Strange how I can’t talk about this with friends and family as they all got the jab.
Just had a conversation with retired dentist who most likely got cardiac issues including a fib and has complicated ablation procedure, on eliquis for life because she is female, thin, 65, and now a fib. Is traveling to Ireland and is afraid of getting sick so is getting a flu shot. I shook my head no as she understands the vax probably injured her. She said oh the flu vaccine is safe, it’s been around forever and I don’t want to get sick!
Geez. The number of people who despite the whole COVID thing have yet to read some fundamental immunology is staggering. Even without the risks of a flu shot they won't prevent illness.
So sorry and it’s so sad.
😭
Hard to find employees when many of the would be employees are dead.
or disabled, limitations on work, cognitive issues, the intentional LONG CoVid BioWeapon results with added and far worse Long-VAXX symptoms for tens of millions
Yes. I lectured all my kids not to give in. Only one did because her employer said they would let her go, and she and her husband had just bought a house. Then two weeks after she had one shot the mandate was dropped. I can't even tell you how angry she is about this.
It was just like Gilda Radner doing her Emily Litella skits. For months (and for some, years) it is, "Get the jab or you will be fired. You are a danger to everyone." Then it suddenly turns into a mild and mousy "Nevermind."
Ethical Skeptic has latest data. Between 2-4,000 Americans dying every week from the mRNA vax. https://theethicalskeptic.com/2025/08/13/the-state-of-things-pandemic/
A guy in my network died “unexpectedly” in his sleep last week.
Cardiac arrest.
22-years-old.
The lie that was Covid to coerce millions to take a toxic lethal injection needs a reckoning of accountability. It was not just malicious intent, it was pure evil, a massacre of innocents while its architects and enablers profited in the billions.
Will there ever be a reconning for the evil perpetrators of this vaccine fraud? When we were told Covid would be in US in 3 months but don’t worry..the government would have a vaccine for It by then I thought..they’re telling us they are not going to know what long term side effects may be. It didn’t add up.
They're first clue should have been when they were telling ppl to wear underwear for masking protection. Just sayin
Especially when the packaging itself said it does NOT stop viruses.
You mean the "surgeon general" who demonstrated the making of a virus-protective mask from a t-shirt?
My friends daughter fourty-something pharmacist from Massachusetts posted on FB
This is her post on Facebook
"Dear All,
“Some of you already know this but others of you don’t. I wasn’t quite sure how to share this…
One year ago almost to the day, on a beautiful spring day while at my son’s baseball game I received a phone call that would change my life forever.
I had started experiencing some limping that February soon after going skiing with my younger one , which at that time I didn’t know would be our last time. After various doctor visits over the next few months, I had an EMG done on that beautiful May day. The results of that EMG were not something I even considered. The three letters that would become my diagnosis would send a shock not only through me but through those closest to me. I had ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. The irony of receiving this diagnosis at a baseball field…
ALS is a terminal neurological disorder that robs you of the ability to walk, talk and eventually breathe. It has a life expectancy of 2-5 years.
One year after I received my diagnosis, I have severe muscle weakness and require assistance for most, even the basic activities.
Some days I still have trouble understanding how I went from running half marathons, skiing and being active to spending my days in a wheelchair. Life is so unpredictable.
As hard as it is for me to experience getting weaker every day, I know this is just as hard on those who love me and are watching this progression on an ongoing basis.
Having said all of the above, I feel so incredibly blessed. I have been surrounded by so many people, both family and friends, who love me and are there for me in so many ways. The love of those closest to me and my community that I have experienced is beyond what I ever expected. I will be forever grateful.
As someone very dear to me reminds me, every day is a gift. Don’t take it for granted. Live, love and be grateful. 💕🙏🏻💕"
I want all of the experts that got it wrong,or were afraid to admit the truth, to be punished by reading these posts all day long for the rest of their life.
Sadly, a friend of mine told me a similar story about a co-worker. She believed her ALS was caused by the v & she died in less than a year from diagnosis. Tragic, Evil, ……
I like to call it criminal.
It is criminal.
RFK Jr doesn't agree... which is appalling, given the estimated 17 million deaths from the jab worldwide.
I disagree.
He is a great lawyer and it's building indefensible case.
One day he will make an announcement, but first he needs to get his receipts ready.
It would be well worth advising this poor woman to do a deep dive into Chlorine Dioxide Solution (CDS)... Dr. Kalcker is the expert.
After all... why not?
She is an indoctrinated pharmacist. Believes the government.
Not enough punishment for them. Every one of them should be disabled or better yet dead.
Financial advisors urge clients to have 6 months' worth of expenses in liquid form. Was discussing with husband recently -- all those highly-paid sports stars who took the jab and kept the salary rather than bow out, and refuse it. Aaron Williams and Novak Djokovic....
Idk abt Aaron but “NO VAX” Djikovic refused and he has done rather well.
Novax refused & got widely attacked in the media.
He stick to his guns. Good man!
That's what I did Carrie and a friend hundred others at my employer. I like to arrogantly think we are some of their best workers.
Academic Wrong Think: “almost half of deaths wouldn’t happen if we had a death rate that matched our peers. Among those aged 25 to 44, a group we call ‘early adults,’ it’s 62 percent—nearly two out of three deaths at those early ages.”
This is backward and may explain why this sort of academic is useless.
1.) If 1/2 of these tragic deaths had not occurred the death rate would be like other, similar countries.
2.) They refer to young adults and even some middle-aged as 'early adults.' Really? GenX and Boomers alike are accustomed to the understanding of those that pass to be 'late.' Of course, they mean that these young adults died too soon but 'early' really?
3.) Almost two thirds of deaths were "sudden and unexpected."
I wish they would take one of the "cleanup covid" ideas (apparently everyone need to clean up whether you got the spike protein from the vaccine or the virus?? ) protocols that are out there. So many easy solutions to so many things that we have been told relentlessly are hard to fix, just so someone can make a lot of money when we use their way to fix it.
What industries? I’m in software and there aren’t many jobs. In particular, the medical device jobs have disappeared.
Construction and hospitality to name a couple.
And yet, they are still being picky when it comes to hiring people. Hubby can't get a job and places he's applied to and could easily do are still hiring 6 months later, but won't give him the time of day.

Antivaxxers are like “anti-modern medicine.” We’d let nature and the body heal itself. The only reason we should EVER go to modern medicine is Trauma Care.

My motto when I was raising kids was we only go to the doctor if we are on fire or bleeding. My kids were taken care of the old fashioned way. Castor oil, cold packs, lots of rest, in the old honey and whiskey sore throat medicine. It seemed to work! I also use a lot of aromatherapy, because it does have some scientific backing, no matter what a doctor tells you. I only go to medical Doctors if I absolutely have to. Naturopaths are fine. My dentist is a naturopathic dentist. We just have to be smart enough to look for the choices and take them.
Usually getting older means having more health issues. Going on more meds. Having more doctor appointments. But a funny thing happened to my family over the past seven years or so since I have become more educated on natural remedies and less reliant on the medical/pharmaceutical industrial complex: my family is healthier. We hardly ever need the “experts” anymore.
Do you have any good natural remedies for a very large kidney stone?
Hello Barbara, I've never had a kidney stone before so can't speak from experience. However, a company I trust that sells excellent natural supplements is Barlow Herbal. Two tinctures that are beneficial for the urinary track are Chanca Piedra and Kidney Cleanse.

That snake wrapped around that rod sure get$ around...
re: "Regular readers know I’ve very little patience left for the failing expert classes."
Let us not forget these are the same experts who got their expertise from diploma mills and 3 day gubmint classes telling them what to think - not how to truly resolve a problem - which is why we always get the "experts are baffled" BS. All of them have very limited real world experience in their area of "expertise" except to present the approved narrative of the evil left - they are like your average "tenured" college "professor" who has spent years telling us how to do things while never having done them. Hence forth, whenever we mention them, be it relating to the pLandemic, economics, etc, we should refer to them as "Cabbage Experts" possessing the same amount of limited brain function as Resident Autopen Cabbage... anyone with a functioning brain knows with certainty it is why he was unlawfully placed in office and it is the same for the "Cabbage Experts".
I have come to the point that when I see or hear the word "expert" in anything, I move on. Tell me what you think you know and let me decide whether you might be an expert.
All too often the word "expert" is simply an appeal to authority.
If you are an expert, how the hell can you always be baffled?
Anyone? Anyone?
Oh, that is rich. "Just because you can charge someone with a crime, doesn't mean you should." Jeff, I don't know how you hang in there every day and read the liberal's dung then present it to us with brilliant ananlysis and humor but I guess somebody has to do it. Cheers my friend! We've never actually met but your incisive commentary which I have enjoyed for a few years now, helps me get started in the morning as I live my life in which I try not to commit crimes in the first place so I don't have to rely on our justice system to flip a coin and determine if I should be charged because they can if the political benefits call for it. Wow! And I thought "The Twilight Zone" was weird. I don't think even Rod Serling could have dreamed up that one.
Trump is the only person who could make the warmongering Bolton, once despised by the left, into a new hero to the left.
President Trump also rehabilitated Dick Darth Cheney and George W. HitlerBush too. Lefties love those guys now. Go figure.
Anyone who has TDS on the “right” immediately becomes the darling on the “left.” The media goes spasmodic!
Sounds like bad gut health.
He did the same with the Cheneys.
And, McCain.
I forgot about McCain. I never liked him. In my memory, he was always a darling of the left. That may be why I forgot about him.
Well, McCain's wife did steal prescription drugs from her own charity and then blamed someone else.
I never heard that. You're talking about Cindy, I presume, and not the one he left after she had an accident.
Yes, Cindy.
Not the first wife who stood by him while he was a POW only to be tossed aside after she was in a horrible car accident.
McCain knew that Cindy was his big money ticket to politics.
Here is her sordid tale:

Actually it just proves the Lefts’ total hypocrisy!!!
As someone born in a much kinder, gentler time; 1951, the pregnant women in combat in Ukraine piece truly leaves me without words.
I am a woman and I don’t want women in combat, period. The thought of my granddaughters being drafted some day is horrifying
This is why women weren’t allowed in the military in the first place. It was to protect the homeland. There is more than one way to protect and serve…
Don Surber's substack touches lightly on this today from a racial point of view. He lists all the black women who have been put in positions of power and have subsequently wreaked havoc.
Which brought to mind something a fire chief told me back in 1970. I was challenging him about a new hire at the fire department. She was a slight little thing, about 90 lb. I could pick her up at that point. And I'm a woman.
So I asked him why they would do that. What was the purpose in hiring a woman who could absolutely, obviously not do the job. He laughed and said that's the point. We hire people we know can't do the job so we can prove that they shouldn't be hired. It was their form of resistance to that affirmative action nonsense that was going on in the 70s.
I wonder if the method to The madness of putting a pregnant woman in there, and doing a piece about her in the newspaper is for that same reason. Show how ridiculous it is, show how it doesn't work, and show how desperate things have become.
Yea, it’s kinda like why it’s illegal for hunters to slaughter the females of the herd.
I bet those Uke Nazis get some sort of special demonic badge or ribbon every time a pregnant woman is killed in combat. Sick.
I am a woman, was trained for combat in the AF and I 💯 agree with you!
As a woman with that experience, can you get us some reasons why you say that?
Well, I could write a book. But to keep it short, I will say one problem was men. You can probably guess the problems I had some would refuse to work with me and others wanted to for ulterior motives. Secondly, we are not mentally and physically created for those things. I was a very strong capable young woman, but my upper body strength was not equal. Climbing onto the back of a truck with a 50 pound war bag and a weapon, men would help each other. Nobody would give me a hand. Because like I said, a lot of men didn’t want me there and I had to work twice as hard for half the respect of my fellow airmen. We are created to be more caregivers than warriors and it is a mental challenge IMO to do those jobs.

No wonder she struck out

Seems super fake
I saw that too. What a hoot!
“We’ll never develop protocols, treatments, or genuine public-health safeguards to save the people who’ve been hurt if the official line remains, “shhh.”
And if they keep ignoring the white fibrous clots that were never seen until the shots rolled out, a treatment or prevention will never be found

Not until there's money to be made from it: "Pfizer announces new product which dissolves white fibrous blood clots"--applies for E.U.A.
Yep. 😡
Companies are already jumping on the bandwagon:

Neprinol advanced fibrin defense from Arthur Andrew dot com. Can digest up many unwanted substances.
Laura, did you see Steve's VSRF Rumble last Thursday and all the pics of the clots they are finding in the living and in those who have left us? Appalling. I can't hate enough all those that brought this to our doorsteps.
Lori - yes! I watched live!
And I asked Tom Haviland to make sure he sent that video to Livio so that they could show it to the audience.
I was also texting Livio the link and timestamp where Wally Hooker spoke in the Died Suddenly film. It’s what prompted Tom to look into the embalmer clots. And then God orchestrated my partnering with Tom. 🥰
Me too, live. You work miracles, I tell you. You are a blessing to all of us with your hard work and dedication. Thank you for loving humanity so much.
Oh Lori. Thank you for these encouraging words. At times I feel like I’m fighting the wrong battle with so many other evil things going on like abortion and child trafficking. Things that affect the innocent littles. I pray often for the Lord to guide me where I can make a difference.
I understand. I never thought we would live to see such days of malevolent evil so in our faces. We need to protect the innocent indeed. We must keep praying and ask God to harken unto our prayers that evil can be abolished while we live to see it. I remember how life was before March of 2020. And to think I ever complained about anything back then.
“Millennials should be furious. It’s a genocide. Or a “democide” — defined as “the intentional killing of an unarmed or disarmed person by government agents acting in their authoritative capacity and pursuant to government policy or high command.””
——————
As a millennial I am. I’m trying as hard as possible to warn as many about this—and other atrocities—as much as possible. I literally have an podcast called: “the millennial genocide” : https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/the-millennial-genocide
PS: love how you use the term Democide. Wrote about that too — with its cousin “Menticide”: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/democide-and-menticide
Have to say, I cannot stand the term "democide"--such bad form to mix languages :). But really, the demos is Greek, the -cide, Latin. Plebicide would, IMHO, be preferable. Plebs being the Roman equivalent of demos. Tried to get Ed Dowd on board with this a few years ago...his ears were closed.
Fully agree. Every single expert that got it badly wrong should be fired. It's called "accountability". While at it, include the bad, clearly conflicted judges and profoundly misguided "economists".... (remember "modern monetary theory" madness???).
Yep, besides the fact A lot of people who got it right were fired, so …
Yes, absolutely. But how to account for that very balanced genius wearing an I'm always right hat? For all the good that has been influenced, there remain uge questions around warped speed in quite a few minds. Could a dash of humility be bartered for little less righteous outrage? Will both camps continue to ignore to keep their 'safe' narratives?
He never mandated it for anyone, in fact was totally against any kind of mandate.
While many of us can accept that “He didn’t know what he didn’t know”, I’m sure he knows now, and we can’t understand why he still boasts about warp speed. He bragged about it in an interview that followed the Putin meeting . It is offensive to the legions of people who are either sick or injured, or suffered the death of loved ones. Not to mention, the damned injections are still on market. I believe that members of his own family have even warned him about this. I am very happy with so many of the things he has done, but I do think he can’t admit when he makes a serious mistake, or that he was duped. And I do believe he was duped.
True, but he is still defending it, and making claims that it saved millions of lives.
Jeff and C&Cers;
You may be familiar with Professor David Clements. He produced the film entitled, “Let My People Go” (2+ hrs).
https://rumble.com/v4l49gx-let-my-people-go-by-dr.-david-clements-full-movie.html
I had the pleasure of meeting him a couple of years ago when he presented at a local patriot meeting.
He recently started a Substack. Here is one of his posts:
https://professordavidclements.substack.com/p/mr-president-look-to-lincoln-and-156
“Mr. President, Look to Lincoln and Act: Arrests, Tribunals, and War Powers”
It’s encouraging to see that Trump has a bust of Lincoln on his desk.
This is an excellent film (22 mins long).
If you agree, please subscribe to Clements. Right now, he has less than 500 subs.
The Professor is awesome. Quiet, unassuming, straight forward. Lost his position because he refused the shot and refused to regurgitate the approved narrative. Like our humble C&C leader, one of the OGs of the quiet resistance.
Yeah wow.
Subscribed, thank you.
Done.
Just watched it this morning. It is excellent.
Thanks for posting so others can watch it.
Wow, thank you for sharing these links!
Subscribed. Thank you, Laura!
Watching now and subscribed
That article on Lincoln and Trump was stellar. I have shared it far and wide already. I will subscribe. What an amazing author and man of integrity and foresight.
Appreciate you sharing Carol. Thank you.
I also joined his substack as a paid subscriber to help support him!
👏👏👏👏
Thanks for this --I have just done a bit of looking into him.
Aha--from Man in America!
Came to our NC area to show film/raise $$
Awesome!
Wow! That speech.
About those JAG attorneys….
I'm with you on the expert purge. Time for them is up. At the same time, we need to build a new education system for the next set so that they deliver value to humanity.
As i look around , I can only wonder .......... WHO will be the teachers ?
And ...... Who will teach the "doctors" ?
the "educated" ones have shown themselves to be the most resistant to see the light
Personally I think it will be better when AI diagnoses. It can’t be bought by big pharma. I guess the only concern is what info gets fed into its brain
Unfortunately, AI is not without bias. It is programmed. The algorithms look for published information, and give the most weight to long established publications, such as the New York Times. And you better believe big Pharma profits from this fact. I mentioned once before that Matt Tabi and Walter Kirn have proposed the idea that the corporate media at this point is putting on a performance for AI. They know that they are lying, and that many of us see through it. And yet they persist.
"They know that they are lying, and that many of us see through it. And yet they persist."
...and AI memorizes the patterns apace, adding "weight" to the likelihood that the prevalence of the lies will result in their being chosen as "answers" to the less-popular "truth."
Why would you want that? A machine is not a human. Trying to replace GOD is what science is about. It takes what GOD made and says "not good enough" we can improve it. Straight from satan and his followers. Read the Watchers..book of Enoch
Because AI will only parrot facts (supposed to be) whereas doctors have proven to be easily BOUGHT AND SWAYED BY $$$ I do not trust them
I found this article on how ChatGPT is undermining our ability to train students to use knowledge for understanding. We will need to choose new ways to educate people for our future.

Start at the beginning. 1+1 = 2. Et cetera.
Go further out on that education limb; Man + Woman = babies.
What a novel concept!
Straight from the mind of God!
Hand + Fire = Bad
Except the “new experts” were trained by the same morons who were the “old experts” we wanna purge 😒
How do we bring in a new class of free thinking science based critical thinker experts who will be intelligent enough to help diagnose and treat while still understanding they do not know everything and won’t force their intelligence on patients and the people?
Please check out and support the IMA, (the independent medical alliance formally called FLCCC). They are trying to build a parallel medical system without conflict of interest and open to alternative and natural treatments. They have amazing protocols for many diseases. They already have their own medical journal, and someday down the road they hope to have their own medical school. They are growing fast!
I do and leaving them money in my will.
That’s great! I may as well.
Thank you for considering doing that as well. They do such wonderful work and help so many people. Doing the same for the Children's Health Defense as they fight to protect our children.
I didn’t know they renamed. Good to know. Thank you!!! I would support this IF they stay grounded in reality. Etc etc.
Sunnydaze,
I disagree. I say bring back the old morons to do the training. The 3 Stooges couldn't do any woise. Nyuk nyuk nyuk.
my point...exactly (reply to Sunndaze "new experts" comment )
Never understood hyphenated names. What happens when Smith-Jones marries Johnson-Green? Are their children Smith-Jones-Johnson-Greens?
Take this a few generations and all our forms need to be redesigned.
I remember when I got married being coached by my female boss (who had a hyphenated name) to keep my own name and do the same. She was solemn with her advice that it would make or break my career. I just stared at her blankly while in my mind I threw my maiden name in the trash. That name was NOT my identity. I did not want to hyphenate. It seemed too politically correct, and like I was just abandoning my own identity to embrace and support their identity and ideology about marriage. Maybe that’s why she was so emphatic about it, because they needed more women asserting their independence in marriage. I saw first hand as far back as the late 80s and 90s how women felt they had to assert their independence and power with hyphenating their last name and they pressured each other to do it.
I became one with my husband. I love him that much and I wanted “our” identity, not mine. “But he gets to keep his identity…” some argue. Well that was God’s intent and how it has been done for many millennia. It’s just a surname. He left his family too and became one with me. He placed me ahead of all of them. We are a team. His name became my name and I did not abandon anything at all but strongly embraced my own beliefs to reflect God’s design. I love my decision. And frankly, I’m the kind of personality that is described by some overly legalistic men as “a woman who wears the pants in the family” - so I’m no shrinking violet because of my decision. I honor my husband by taking his name and making a lifelong commitment to his namesake. We see ourselves as a team regardless that it’s all under his name.
Good for you Juju! Womens Lib is for the trash bin.
Amen. I applaud your attitude, but most importantly your Christian view towards your marriage with God’s intent of joining man and woman to be one.
Some-Waye-Some-Howe -Hu- Knows
Irked me no end when a hyphenated child entered my classroom: I always had to write the whole darned thing--the kid himself? Only one of those names. He knew it was fake.
And what name to you file them under?? Inquiring minds want to know. 😅
There is a trend now to take half of each of their last names and blend it together to make a completely new last name. Kind of like when Ben Affleck dated Jennifer Lopez and they became know as Beniffer, however, they are using their last names.
I would say this is the dumbest thing ever, but there's the They/Them, Ze/Zah thing that tops it.
We've just decided to begin using initials ......... My daughter is M-K-C-P-O-F-U-K-I-T
Happy Monday from the woods in Idaho!!!
Good morning from beautiful, rural west KY:) Barn building
happening at my place today.
🙏🏼🎉
May it be sturdy, useful, and blessed.
Stay safe Robin. If I was there I would help you. Barns are beautiful:}
Good morning from the edge of the Sonoran Desert in rural AZ. Where the liberals are few and far between, the coyotes and scorpions reign, and only those in relocated Cali gated communities are vaxxed. And everyone is armed. It's a little slice of heaven.
Ditto from West Plains in EA WA, but not much longer. I'm moving!
I used to live in Spokane.
Glad that you're moving; the entire eastern half of the state is held hostage.
Most of the western half of Washington, too.
Everyone sane in Washington is held hostage, and many of us are counting the months until we escape. I've lost track of how many times I've said "Never mind about fixing/changing/adding/removing [insert home item here] we aren't staying. Let the next owner deal with it."
Exactly, by the leftists on the left coast.
Yup.
As are many… where to?
One of four: Vancouver, WA; or Half Moon Bay, CA; or Monterey Bay, CA; or San Buenaventura, CA. Growing up in New York beside the Hudson River, I like the water, especially the ocean at sunset.
I can't like any of those. I am an East Coast snob who believes nothing exists west of the Mississippi!
Good for you. You have such good friend there though:{
Are you moving back to Poughkeepsie Jeff? I know how much you love it there lol!
I have many good friends in CA, mostly college basketball buddies. West of the Mighty Mississip = the Left Coast. I might return to Poughkeepsie one day, when I'm dead. Many family members and ancestors are buried in Dutchess and Ulster counties. One is even buried in tony Westchester County, after he was murdered in Sing Sing Prison in 1931.
"...when you are dead." You crack me up. Dutchess county is gorgeous, love it there. Sing Sing, no shit? Wow, he must have been a naughty boy.
My grandfather's younger brother was a poor, uneducated, petty thief. Mother died when he was two, grandpa was four. Pretty much abandoned. One went straight, the other veered into crime. Couldn't get out. Not violent, though. Never assaulted anything, except common sense. His murder was recounted in the New York Times. Story was hidden by relatives, for some reason. Uncovered this info after my daughter was born, when I started researching my inglorious family history.
So very interesting what our ancestors faced in their lives. I have a few that fought and died in the Civil War. I am sorry he was murdered since his crimes were just petty and that he never hurt anyone. The family was most likely embarrassed so it is understandable they hid it all as best they could. We all have to be thankful when our children, grandchildren stay on the straight and narrow.
South Alabama says “ HI”!
I am a native Alabaman. I always heard it as Lower Alabama. LA, followed by a hearty laugh.
My "like" button is broken!
Happy Monday from the suburbs in Idaho!
Oh it must be nice. !! I love Idaho.
