Judge Hurley guts the Virginia gerrymander, the Fifth Circuit hangs the Ten Commandments, and Judge Murphy accidentally breaks Big Pharma's vaccine pipeline — right before flu-and-covid season.
In an almost evenly divided state, 49% republican 51% democrat, and a vote with just a 1.5% victory, Virginia will now have 10 of its 11 congress members democrat. Is this just the same old case of taxation without representation? In Ma. there are 0 republican reps but upwards of 40% of people voted for Trump. With this “work around” which is “legal theft” of a citizens most basic civil liberty, how can we call this a representative republic?
A representative republic is a form of government where citizens elect officials to make laws and decisions on their behalf, rather than voting on policy directly. It combines democratic principles (popular voting) with republicanism (rule by law and constitution), ensuring elected officials are accountable to the electorate while protecting individual rights against majority rule. A political parties use of gerrymandering is theft of representative government.
Nick Shirley - the kid that broke the Somali pirate fraud and the LA county Hospice fraud stories was talking about voter fraud in California on a recent podcast. Voter fraud is just as massive as the Learing Center style fraud. I hope that story breaks just as broadly and deeply. Those late night F curves that were so blatant in 2020 presidential, and that we continue to see are just as ridiculous, blatant and in open sight as day care centers with no children and the hospices with no dying. Many people are just math allergic, so they don't understand what they are looking at.
If we could balance the budget by stopping the theft of funds fraud, what might we find about our country and our actual collective mindset, if we stopped the fake votes?
Exactly this. They were returning it to fair. But that angered the democrats, because fair doesn’t give them the unfair advantages they need. So they have to project their own sins onto the republicans and hope the voters are still ignorant as ever.
but so few care. a friend was discussing with her landlord the hospice fraud and stealing of medical identities, which could impact his elderly parents. He dismissed it and said - politely - you really are conservative. Meanwhile these same people complain how awful the state is. For some reason, they refuse to connect the dots to reveal the picture.
Veiled insults are never polite, plus this landlord had the upper hand of power in the relationship. The people that object may be benefiting. The Landlord position is a prime position to be a beneficiary of funded illegals and section 8 fraud. At a minimum, the high rents driven by this process make for a collateral benefit.
he has an ADU so no section 8. These people are true believers that uncovering fraud is right wing. I only wish they were grifters. At least it would make sense.
Could be they have family who is benefiting or some other indirect way. I am just suspicious of these people who shrug at fraud. Either that or they need to virtue signal and want to be part of their “in crowd” so they can’t be against these things.
My local Nextdoor social site has shown me that the majority of people ( in my town) believe Nick Shirley is a fraud. That none of his “exposed fraud” was real,and,some hold up WIKIPEDIA on Nick ,as proof. Every thinking person knows that Wikipedia is a fraud/ fake news. It is astonishing to me how these people really WANT this all to be “a conservative influencer making things up for personal gain”. Sigh….
I've heard the same thing. Unfortunately, many on the left don't believe all the fraud is real. They think the "far right" is making it up. They certainly don't want any pesky facts to interfere with their Trump Derangement Syndrome!
Maybe lowering their taxes would get through to them. Fraud is a money sucker, not “government money” but the landlord’s own money. He should get that as a landlord, that increasing rent happens when expenses - like fraud - increase.
I wish. They are all in a cult! Many have livelihoods tied to wealthy people and are still planning on voting for the billionaire tax. I try to discuss it rationally with them but they, as I said, are in a cult.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Liberals/leftists are immune to facts and logic. They believe they are living out their “own truth”. Real truth cannot penetrate a depraved mind like that.
Read the first chapter of Romans and you will see that this phenomenon has been around forever.
I guess some people believe that if the Save Act won’t repair the entire election fraud issue, we should just continue allowing every Juan, Alberto, and Musac-al-Thiefo to vote because, why not?
Absolutely agree! We should take every small step forward everytime we get the chance. That is exactly what the Left has done to drag us down for years. Use same mechanism!
It's like taking a pill to mask symptoms. Sure, it may make you feel a bit better, but it doesn't get to the root cause. If Trump and company were serious about this, they would simply include a provision for hand counted paper ballots as part of the bill.
Johnny-O, for once I agree with you (well, ok, maybe not just once...) the voting machines are the key core problem. When the entire nation of France (France!!) Can use paper ballots and know results the next morning when they awake, we sure should be able to. In my little country township, machines are marginally useful. We had one of the two precinct's machines quit, and we had to essentially do a hand count anyway a few years ago. Like most tech, they are ok when they work, tho their manipulatability makes "working" questionable. The key is to size precincts to optimize for hand counting, but Democrat run big cities won't do that unless at gunpoint!
Remember those ‘hanging chads’, 2000 Broward county Florida… the result of that fiasco was what tipped us into digital vote machines. A judge was using a hand held magnifying glass to examine the paper fragments.
I’m all in favor of return to paper ballots, and inking of thumb after leaving the voting booth.
As someone who was a Florida voter for nearly 30 years, allow me to note that it was very easy to vote using the punch cards. Anyone who couldn't manage that very simple exercise in manual dexterity should not have been allowed to vote.
The hanging chads thing could be fixed by not punching into the ballot to vote. I never saw that in California. With paper ballots we filled in the little bubble by a name with a pen or pencil. No chads.
"Malfunctioning" machines are used all the time in order to create long lines and waits to discourage voters. There are so many problems associated with digital voting and it could be easily fixed, and hand counted paper ballots would have broad support.
Election integrity is not either-or. These two aspects are both most important.
Both the SAVE America Act (ensuring clean voter roles/only citizens vote, same day counting) and getting rid of machine voting (Dominion etc) have to be enacted AND enforced.
CaplT, along with no universal mail in ballots. That's where uncleaned voter rolls intersect with "mail in" ballots to give the machine illigitimate ballots to count. The only real solution is one day voting in person on paper ballots with I.D.
Our elections are completely fake. You can't "fix" one aspect of a fake event and expect the powers who control all of it to just give up the source of their power. There's got to be a better way to recreate the entire election system. Otherwise we will be stuck with the fake system forever.
I heard after Shirley exposed the fraud in California the legislature outlawed people like Shirley from going into a business and showing the fraud. It cuts into the corrupt California legislators grift. Makes total sense!
There’s a bill making its way thru California legislative process but it’s not yet being brought to a vote and is widely expected to face legal challenges in federal court.
Well, everyone from the governor on down and through almost tne entire California legislature, they're all crooked, lying, cheating Democrats. It's an open field for fraud, and apparently easy to get away with.
CR - trouble is, the Dems have become totally & utterly brazen about fraud, cheating, supporting violent crime, child abuse & illegals because they are never - NEVER - punished.
If a bunch of them had been locked up for Russia-Russia, for mass illegal immigration, for election fraud & ‘health care’ fraud, for vaxx mandates, mutilating children, attacking ICE & other crimes, they’d likely be more cautious.
The abject failure to punish a single ‘leading’ Democrat has made all of them bold as brass.
There is not a single Republican rep in any New England state, nor 13 states in total. Republicans did not start the gerrymandering in Texas, they just responded to it.
Doesn’t it figure! Gerrymandering originated in 1812 when Massachusetts Governor Elbridge Gerry signed a bill redrawing state legislative districts to favor his Democratic-Republican party. A newspaper, the Boston Gazette, dubbed one strangely distorted district a "salamander," which was quickly satirized as the "Gerry-mander" in a political cartoon.
So, the F-curve (or F*CK You Curve) is clear and certain proof of a manipulated election. Here's why and how: Mail in ballot fraud can be done to ensure you get the 2-3 point win and claim Republicans just need to work harder. They (the SOS and other election thieves in government and NGOs) keep a close and accurate tabulation of the vote, and who voted, during the first mail in fraud period of early voting (which is itself a violation of law which says we will have a one day vote). Then they use ePollbooks (or a variant, depending on which election manipulation system is in the county/state - remember they are lying when they say it is not connected to the network - which is a nefarious play on words, it is a VPN tunneled through the network) during election day to keep very close tabs on the count and who voted, leaving the all important who hasn't voted - which in most cases is way more than those who actually voted, especially in these dishonest off season elections, when predictably fewer people get off their asses and go vote.
Then the fraudulent ballots, with fraudulent signatures, get dumped after in person voting closes, creating the F curves and the "win", and the criminals then claim high turnout affirming the "will of the people". You cannot get that F U curve any other way. Deeply nefarious, dishonest, and people should go to prison. Yes, it was rigged. Now perhaps with the Trump administration in office it will finally get proven in a criminal investigation and we can get real elections restored. Paper ballots, on one day, hand counted, no network connectivity to report results. No less than our Republic is at stake.
Yep it was, they needed the "emergency" to invoke mass mail in ballot fraud. The pLandemic was the predicate and fake, totally fake emergency - and they murdered a lot of people to invoke it. It truly makes my blood boil and I want fucking heads to roll.
Yes, we in NE states have not had any fair Republican representation in Congress. I’m in Connecticut and I think Jodi Rell was our last Republican Governor.
You aren't missing much. Having lived in MA and NY for most of my life, I can tell you Republicans in the Northeast are barely distinguishable from Democrats.
There certainly has to be one decent Republican in the bunch to run against a Democrat! I live in North Eastern Ct which is made up by many small towns that do have local Republican leaders and also has many small farms.
I have concluded that for the most part, decent people don't want to be in Congress. As more than a few have said, Congress is a sesspool. Not a swamp, a sesspool.
You're too kind, but Hell will freeze over before I have anything to do with the DNC. I took the handle as a result of a past life regression that revealed I was once a Roman Senator with severe digestive problems. He was known to clear the chamber with his noxious humors.
Thank you! I was going to lookup the source of the term, but never got around to it. My nice compact Congressional District 1 in Virginia will be turned into a cartoonish brontosaurus whose little head is Alexandria and whose fat rump contains our beloved Mathews County!
Republicans currently in office here’s a reminder to copy into your daily planner - from the RNC platform 2024 (it’s still on the RNC website so it’s still the official “to do” list):
9 END THE WEAPONIZATION OF GOVERNMENT AGAINST THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
19 SECURE OUR ELECTIONS, INCLUDING SAME DAY VOTING, VOTER IDENTIFICATION, PAPER BALLOTS, AND PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP.
notwithstanding that the percentage of republicans in some of those states is more than 40% - why haven't republicans in those states taken the state to court - some of the jerrymandering may come crashing down if the USSC rules as it should in a case before them now
Illinois is gerrymandered but the corrupt dems don’t need it. Jumbo Pritzker won with ~3 counties: including Chicago and the ‘burbs. Downstate IL need not exist except to support the city with our farm taxes. The governor’s mansion in Springfield sits empty. JBP barely acknowledges the part of IL south of I-80.
Keep in mind, the Texas re-districting was court mandated, to alleviate racial disparities. It just so happened that in curing that, it helped the GOP. Racial remapping is legal, but the courts have not ruled against party remapping yet.
I had just received a response from my VA senator Mark Warner after I asked him to pass the SAVE Act and he said it would disenfranchise "millions" of voters. I told him he applauded the passage of the bill to re-gerrymander the districts which disenfranchises 50% of VA voters. Our other VA senator, Tim Kaine even stated "sic semper tyrannis" after the passage, apparently forgetting that John Wilkes Booth said the same thing after killing Lincoln. They just tried to kill off half of VA's voters (figuratively).
Remember the part of the Constitution that says the ppl must rise up and REMOVE the lawless government! Then when we do "nice" ppl feel uncomfortable and jump in on the "he's starting WW3!" parade. It's just too much to take.
Richard Grenier. As George Orwell pointed out, 'people sleep peacefully...only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.'
It’s a waste of time to try & reason with democrat state leaders. I’ve tried it many times & always get the same canned response written in party line. We’re going to need the Save Act with federal rules for federal elections. Get rid of mail in voting. https://www.whitehouse.gov/saveamerica/
I wrote again! In my dumpster fire of a state(for only a few more months!) we have not been represented for years! Mail in ballots have ruined Washington state
The entire West Coast is a dumpster fire. Republicans have such miniscule representation in California that they might as well stay home. They can't influence anything at all.
I say don’t stay home and drag a friend or 5! Gotta get in the fight to complain about the fight. Definitely not making anything better if you’re not showing up. It is exhausting
I'd beg to disagree... we might not always win, but we ARE NOT STAYING HOME... for you or anybody else!!! We'll see about that "influence" soon... Mark my words...
The last time I wrote to Chris Murphy about something he wrote back that it wasn’t on his agenda but I should follow him on facebook to see what was on his agenda!
Not to mention the “disenfranchising”baloney they assert is a complete lie… like virtually everything coming from the Democrat machine. It’s disgusting
Here in New Hampshire we have a Republican governor and legislature (barely). Then we have Senators Shaheen and Hassan and Congressman/woman Pappas and Goodlander (a.k.a Mrs Jake Sullivan). All Democrats. Figure that one out.
Peter, it's complicated. For example, the so called " environmental groups" wrote ACT 181 which turns out to be basically a land grab.... everyone on board cause it was sold as great for the environment, etc. Governor vetoed it (as 65% of rural Vermonters agreed) but the Dems over road the veto. Thankfully parts of it are getting walked back because people are fighting back and their elected officials are shaking in their boots! Good! This is what needs to happen in the Federal government.
Jeff, the AG of VA is Jay Jones, of I wish death on my rivals kids in text messages fame. The fabulous Jason Miyares is the former AG who is ardently opposed to the outlandish amendment.
The VA law clearly says that to change constitution there has to be a majority vote in legislature, and a second vote after a legislature election, and then a majority public vote in a referendum. We moved to VA in 2025 and I assumed they had done the two legislature votes but no this seems to have been skipped.
I’m surprised the constitution gets changed with just majority votes — in many states you need a supermajority which seems better to me.
Some of that is why it probably will be knocked down. Abby and Louise Lucus were SO DETERMINED to get it done BEFORE the mid-terms, they were willing to try it, even knowing it might fail.
I don’t understand how the courts look at it. If they hadn’t correctly followed procedure, I’m surprised that courts let them hold the referendum, which will confuse electorate. Everyone would be irate — republicans for the whole shenanigans, democrats for the courts “blocking the will of the people”. Maybe there is some fine print I’m unaware of.
The courts have to wait for "damage". The NOs (mostly Rs) were irate from the beginning and filed some lawsuits but the courts had to wait for the outcome. If the NOs won, it was moot. Since the YES (barely) won, the rulings and filings are flying.
Legal procedures are often confusing and frustrating.
Spanburger also just signed an executive order that said Virginia’s electoral college votes in the federal elections would be given to the winner of the popular vote. So she gave away people’s right to vote for president.
Democratically elected reps. I assume that means each eligible person gets to vote if they want to. If non citizens and dead people vote are we still a representative democracy? Asking for a friend.
James Goodrich, great comment but "theft" is too kind by far. It's undermining the Nation, destroying trust, tantamount (Portlanders, that means "sort of amounting to") a direct assault on each person. And it should be answered in kind!
It’s a civil rights violation. Discrimination based on politics which we see over and over again from democrats. Maybe the ACLU or the southern poverty law center could take this up, before the splc goes belly up 😂😂😂
I moved to Virginia about 50 years ago; I still remember the snide remarks of some of my new neighbors re “crooked” Maryland politics.
Tuesday’s “vote” re redistricting is an embarrassment. It smacks of democrat machine politics . . and tells the country a lot about the current democrat party, and machine (win at any cost) politics. Any right-thinking Virginian (or American) would say that what just happened in Virginia is flat out wrong. Redistricting to gain a minor political advantage, per se, is understandable but what has already happen in New England, and now in Virginia is obvious disenfranchisement, and can not be allowed to stand.
And then there is the obvious question of voting integrity. Most of my life it has been verboten to question election results . . I feel so naive.
And let us not forget the effect of states "importing" illegals, who are then counted and included in the calculations that determine the number of representatives a state is entitled to.
For example, it was recently reported that Gavin Newsom spent some one billion dollars to assist the importation of some 400,000 illegals into his state. If true, this would equate to an additional five seats in the House of Representatives...and those seats must come from other states.
Living in Virginia, there is nothing surprising in today's C & C reporting on the special election re constitutional amending. Also, I figure that Trump probably won Virginia at least twice, and I had already figured that the radicals rigged yesterday's election results. And I'll add that the Republican Party has never been aggressive in making a big issue state-wide over election fraud. All along, the party should have insisted on one day voting. All along the party should have been busy beavers at pointing out and broadcasting loud and clear election irregularities. And such irregularities are not hard to see. But they did not do so. It is almost as if the Republicans consciously want their party permanently put out of business.
The interrupt to the pattern have been Trump and the handful like DeSantis. I attribute this to factional division, a civil war being fought from the very highest level of Western Power. We the wee folk are never informed of this, but we can see that this is so by 'reflective light'. As such, we the wee folk are observers from the outside looking in. Most people do not have the appreciation of this situation.
I saw the 'do nothing' party up close for about five years of intense political activity. I saw the operations of the Virginia General Assembly up close. And there are many gradations of understanding within the General Assembly. Most people in the Assembly, whether Dems or Rs see and know process alone. Most were quite ignorant as to the overall orchestration which was 'mind controlling' them ... channeling them if you will. I imagine that the awareness by political operatives as to what is going on has risen some due to the intensities and magnitudes inherent in and brought about by the actions of the civil war being waged.
Since you have to be able to speak/understand English to become an American citizen, why on earth are DMVs & Ballots in any other language? I'm with you Torrance. AZ is f'ed up as well. The Hobgoblin has seen to that.
I would add to this the DNC's use of lawfare to keep candidates off the ballot. During the last presidential election they repeatedly sued RFK jr and the green candidate, essentially removing choice for voters. I guess you could also add how they changed the primary rules for their party if they have an incumbent which is why Biden had no opposition at the primary level in most states.
Need a correction here Jeff. Jason Miyares was the last AG. Cuban exile, good guy. I've met and talked to him. The current AG is Jay Jones, the one who called for the murder of a Republican rep and his kids. But thanks for the good article. The strike down was the last thing I saw before I went to bed. It saved an otherwise very melancholy day.
I still can't believe Jay Jones was elected. VA citizens are going to have a tyrant lording over them for a while. But my guess is that in about two years, some skeleton in his closet will be revealed. Someone that crazy has lots of them.
He was elected the same way this referendum "won". She didn't win either. The same way Warner "won." The same way "Kaine "won". The same way Biden "won"
Amazing the way a sack of mail-in ballots always appear right at the last minute, isn't it? Our VA (CIA) governor is so extreme left that even the democrat legislature is trying to rein her in.
This is exactly why I say no matter how a state decides to set up voting, mail in, in person, extended etc, no ballot may be counted until ALL ballots are in the county board of election counting room. THEN you begin counting, NO ballots maybe delivered after the counting has begun.
If election officials are found to have held back ballots from areas expected to be for the opposition party shall lose all government pensions they may have, and go to jail for election interference for a minimum of 5 years. Maybe a massive fine as well, just to ensure they understand skunk works are verboten.
yes, some jail time and very large fines should help but there needs to be observers at all ballot counts and folks to question the counts when they appear suspicious.
Always, pollwatchers that they can't kick out. If they say pillwatchers have to leave, the counting stops, everyone must leave and state troopers police the area
There is another way. In my county, we verify and then open all the absentee ballots and they are sitting in stacks in the ballot room. The second the polls close, they are fed into the counting machines. There is NO reason I can think of why this can't be done in every state.
See above. All manner of ballots must be present, verified, number of ballots received within the range of registered voters.
I wonder if a fingerprint on absentee ballots to confirm that is the person sending in the ballot. Of course, there is no way of knowing if someone "helped" them fill out the ballot.
Went to a local county meeting where our VA reps and minority Senate leader spoke and answered questions. They said the dem majority reps don't like scumburger much more than we do.
Not until we vote those kind of republicans in. The problem is the cheat keeps that from happening because half the RINO republicans benefit from the cheat
I live in Northern Virginia (the infamous Fairfax County). I fully believe an absurdly high percentage of people here voted Yes, because everyone I know is liberal. And they can afford to be! The rest of VA must hate us. Sorry, guys, my husband and I voted No but the libs of NoVA prevailed.
same same. it has become overrun with AWFL's. So have Arlington and Loudoun counties. I spent time last night looking at other places I may want to live. The taxes here are going to go up, and up, and up.
He was “se”elected with the most evil skeletons out of his closet and on full display! What is worse than wishing death upon your opponents children???
In a sane world Jones would have been kicked to the curb in a truly bipartisan fashion. But sanity is now a liability. I sincerely hope you’re right about his skeletons, but if a written statement wishing death on his opponent AND HIS KIDS wasn’t enough for his party to dump him it’s hard to conceive an offense that would have any consequences.
I’m a lifelong Virginian, and proud of it. Until the recent past, Virginia was known for its pro-business, moderate government (under either party), financial stability and the culture of a “Virginia Gentleman” in social issues. Now we are ruled by the four counties and a half dozen cities, all in northern Virginia, with a population heavily weighted with federal government employees. Pull up a map of the voting results for this and any other election since about 2016 and it’s plain to see. Of course the national map has the same imbalance.
The best thing that could happen for us would be for President Trump to make good on his threat to move the federal government agencies to parts unknown around the country. Scatter the biggest blocs of bureaucrats to the far reaches of our wonderful country. They could use the education.
I have been saying for many years most of the federal government departments should be moved. This will break up the swamp, reduce lobbying by making it far more expensive, and put the departments closer to the people they are supposed to serve (but currently don’t).
I’ve only been to DC once. I felt like I’d been slimed nearly the entire time.
I’m not sure it’s just him, the rest of them talk it up like they’re trying to make it happen, but they’re not doing anything. The word is that they’re going to wait until it’s too close to the November election to get the states to comply.
12 COVID SHOTS! That's how many people have had if they got the initial 2-shot series and then boosters every spring and fall. I just saw an advertisement today at the grocery store for spring boosters. The informed consent form just has a line that says, "I have received, read and/or had explained to me the VIS." (Vaccine Information Statement) When I asked at the pharmacy desk for Vaccine Information Statements for all the vaccines that are recommended for ages 50 and up, the employee brought me one for the covid shot (with a footprint on it, as if it had been trampled underfoot), and had to print off the rest for me. This seems to be evidence that they don't regularly give them to customers as required by law. How can you have an informed consent form that states "I have received, read and/or had explained to me the VIS" when they don't even have copies available?
I have seen reports that empirically support what you are saying - it also produces infertility so they will not be reproducing and that is a good thing
A very good thing. I have a few neighbors that are Dems and encourage them to keep up with all jabs. I also went to the local Dem meetings in my city pretending to be a Dem. Encouraged all to get jabs and a few at the same time.
Every time I walk into my grocery store I see the huge poster for Get your Covid and flu shots here! It always makes my blood boil a little bit more each time I see it 😳😡🤯
My local store is even worse! Not only are they offering free shots, they are PAYING people to get them! They recently offered $20 worth of free groceries in return for getting your shots!
There is something seriously sick and wrong about this. Who IS paying for the shots to begin with, and then how can the store give away a $20 value?
The markup on the vaccine for those who ARE paying (ie gov't, insurance cos, etc) is high enough to cover "free." Remember handouts of "free" cigarette samples? Addiction is a powerful motivator.
It’s coercion. And here’s another thing: are the Albertson’s people truly going to be able to handle a situation wherein a person they just jabbed passes out, has a seizure, or worse? Really? I would let them put a bandaid on me but that’s abt the extent of medical intervention I’d allow a grocery store to do to me. Giving shots? HELL no.
If MAGA hats and shirts are banned because they “trigger” the snowflakes, why can’t we have “covid” stuff banned because A) It was a scam and B) seeing the word “triggers” us? Maybe an art of Covid Triggered needs to start complaining, IN WRITING, to establishments pushing “misinformation”. Good for the goose; good for the gander 😉
Some say he is being blocked and controlled by the Big Pharma maggot Wiles... and, of course, Trump himself made HIS loyalties clear by spooning with scumbag Pfizer Bourla in the Oval...
Doesn't make my blood boil. It makes me find the store manager and/or pharmacy head and ask them why they are part of Pfizer's marketing campaign. I get 1) blank stares, 2) shrugs, 3) sheepish glances at watches "oh look at the time" getaways.
13 or so years ago on the 4th of July I had to go to the emergency room for a scratched cornea. I had no idea what had occurred to scratch it and so the doctor suggested I get a tetanus shot. I didn't think I had come into contact with any metal and was reluctant to get the shot, but he persisted and I weakened and took it. After receiving the shot, he handed me the consent form which stated that it was not simply a tetanus shot but also for pertussis and diptheria. I was furious. Had I known it was a three in one I never would have consented.
First of all, a tetanus vaccine after an injury cannot protect against possible tetanus from that injury.
Secondly, that injury was not in danger of tetanus infection. Third, that is common, to be given info after a vaccine is administered, but totally unethical AND a violation of FDA regulations.
Thank you for that. Not that I get shots--I was so deeply angry that I refused to get another shot--and in fact, it prepared me for the Covid psy-op and made me deeply vaccine skeptical long before that event. I had already become vaccine skeptical in the 90s when I noticed adverse reactions in my pets. Oddly, however, tetanus seemed so acceptable that I tended to accept it. In college I stepped on a nail and naturally I went and got a tetanus. What you say totally makes sense--so much so that I wonder why I accepted the fiction in the first place. The only answer is that it was kneejerk, just something we did. Very important to question all such actions!
I haven't even vaccinated for rabies for my dogs. I won't do any that the breeder won't do. But I don't do boosters, etc. It's really crazy. I've had deep vet distrust for more than 30 years now. Makes it hard to be a pet owner. I have a decent vet now that doesn't push anything on me.
or you can google, "holistic veterinarian in (put your city)."
They don't push vaccines and offer excellent modalities that allopathics don't. To give you a taste, sign up for free for vitalanimal.com with Dr. Will Falconer or Dr. Karen Becker a well know holistic vet. https://drkarenbecker.com/
I hope this will restore a bit of your faith in vet med.
When i was offered one I asked if it was just tetanus and the doctor had to check. Nope it was the 3. I asked if was possible to get just the one and they said no. Well then that's my answer.
A tetanus vaccine after an injury cannot protect against possible tetanus from that injury.
Always ask why they are concerned about tetanus. If they provide a satisfactory answer (puncture wound that did not bleed, possibly contaminated by animal feces), request a shot of tetanus immunoglobulin.
Tonya, thanks for your comment. My wife fell down while walking the dogs last year and busted up her face. I took her to the Emergency room for stitches and they wanted to give her tetanus shot. I said no way and gave the same reason you stated. The nurse glared at me and asked if I was the patient or my wife? She then asked my wife (who is not confrontational) and she caved. The nurse left and a different nurse came back in to administer the shot. It also turned out to be TDAP.
Learned that tetanus does not come from metal. It is common in farming areas where there's lots of animal dung around. They certainly don't tell us these things, do they?
Tetanus is an anaerobic organism, which is why PUNCTURE type wounds are such that any tetanus present could thrive. An open wound like a laceration does not provide an anaerobic environment. Drives me crazy anytime y land in the ER with any sort of wound, they want to give you another tetanus injection! (As most of us have had more than a couple in our life 🙄)
Absolutely true. With the covid era, I've come to realize there's a lot of bad medical information floating around there and these days it feels like you have to walk in almost knowing more than the doctor does
When my kids received childhood vaccines. They would hand you the vaccine information after the appointment and the shots were already in arms.. and legs… not really informed consent is it?
Here was my informed consent when I asked what the negatives to giving them to my children would be: “nothing really. We’ve never seen any negative side effect in our practice but a mild fever, but that’s usually gone within a day. You might have some fringe parents who swear they cause autism, but there isn’t a shred of evidence of that, all nonsense….you have nothing to worry about.”
Why would I ever suspect my educated, trained doctors would lie to me? About harming my babies? I was so naive in my late 20s early 30s. I trusted them wholly.
Same. They were very reassuring and I didn’t know anyone who had ever experienced any adverse effects so I trusted that. Now that I know how uninformed THEY are and how uninterested they are in making sure they know what they’re talking about, I don’t trust them at all, as a group and as a general rule.
Yes, the doctors themselves don't recognize adverse reactions to vaccines because they are taught that they are so rare. Yet they see them all the time (asthma, rashes, diarrhea, fevers, seizures) and blame them on other things, like environmental factors, genetics, or viruses.
We were all too trusting and naive. They've sure killed that for us. Thank God!
That's why everyone should be asking for the inserts from the packages BEFORE any shots are given. Most common side effects are listed - those are not the only ones possible, but are the most common.
No, it's not. Check all of the paperwork you have ever signed. They use weasel words to get you to agree to any shot offered and to say you have been "informed".
Drug companies tell many lies about vaccines and vaccination. Lies which journalists and politicians then repeat.
Vaccines are not safe nor effective, Dr. Vernon Coleman says, citing the example of the covid “vaccine,” which he believes has caused far more harm than good.
Vaccines are responsible for a range of health problems, including immune system disorders, allergies and autism. And the benefits of vaccines are often exaggerated or fabricated for commercial reasons....
A Phase 2 trial of Moderna's messenger RNA-based H5N1 avian influenza vaccine has begun in the UK. Researchers aim to recruit around 3,000 volunteers in the UK and 1,000 in the US, including poultry workers and older people. The Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations is partially funding the trial after the US cut off funding.
Rinse and repeat. Clearly, the mRNA technology is important to their depopulation program and cannot be allowed to be questioned, neither by Trump nor DeSantis. We can pretty much count on ANOTHER pandemic. I just hope it sets off a revolution.
In 2021 they disappeared the entire knowledge of "cold and flu season".
In 2020 they still acknowledged it, but when the shots came out, they dropped it right down the Memory Hole, especially when so many people resisted getting the jabs.
They rolled out Delta in the summer of 2021, not in cold and flu season, and they concentrated on the south, which was the most resistant.
Not a word was ever said about the unusual spectacle of having a new flu show up in July.
And now they have "spring boosters"? And no one calls them out?

My 2019 flu shot tainted my O neg CMV neg blood with HBsAG (non-confirming). There are no discernable effects, apart from being permanently deferred from donating, something I did every nine weeks like clockwork. If you understand blood, you will immediately know that I was a neo-donor. I had a universal blood type without CMV that could be safely given to everyone of any age without knowing their current blood type. What was taken from me was taken from untold numbers of the very people who need it immediately, without first typing their blood. Requiring anyone to take those witches brews is profoundly evil.
Guess secretary of navy disagreed: maybe heavy investor in the drug trust.
Phelan, a Palm Beach-based private equity investor, art collector, and major Trump donor who had poured millions into supporting the president, had no prior military or Navy experience when he was nominated in late 2024
Phelan’s name appeared on a flight manifest showing that he flew in 2006 on the plane of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The manifest showed Phelan flew with Epstein; several other financiers; and one passenger who appeared to be French modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel, a close associate of Epstein who was facing charges of rape of a minor and sexual assault when he was found dead in his prison cell in 2022.
A close friend of Phelan’s said he had been invited to fly on the plane by Bear Stearns CEO Jimmy Cayne, who died in 2021. Phelan did not know they’d be flying on Epstein’s plane until they arrived, the close friend said, and Phelan did not speak or interact with Epstein again.
One big club....Apparently the blackmail evidence is strong enough to make Trump destroy his whole legacy with this Iran mess. I can't see of any other reason Trump would be so dumb to do all of this - unless of course he is in on it the whole time.
Get yourself and all your friends here to follow "you" into politics and work from the inside, instead of coming on Jeff's site daily to complain and criticize.
Kushner is a sticky situation - he is out negotiating in a region where he has a lot of financial backers and interests, yet he is being allowed to do so without any oversight from our government. Kushner is a zionist as well, so not sure how/why we think sending a zionist to negotiate with a country that is an enemy of zionism is of benefit or a smart move to begin with.
Bringing up the irony of Pete Hagueseth being some good guy who cares about humans juxtaposed against his school bombing (and other war crimes) isn't trolling. Sorry if it leaves a bad taste in your mouth - perhaps take it up with the war criminal.
By your standards I guess it’s much better to support a terrorist regime that slaughters their own people, treats women like animals, rapes children as a cultural norm and uses their own citizens as bait.
The IRGC is pure evil and considering the fractures now fully visible within the Iranian “leadership” it appears anyone outside the IRGC is now their prey.
Most of their "schools" are used as covers. I read an Iranian comment that the bodies found in the "school" were from the killings of the demonstrators. That the IRGC buried (or whatever they do with dead people) the males but retained many of the females to have for just such a occasion. I have no idea if it's true but it wouldn't surprise me.
Perhaps you could tell others who are constantly rude to me to interact kindly as well? What i do is generally quite mild in contrast to what some of them say towards me. But alas, you are correct. It just gets old being called a troll, bot TDS etc. It just deflects from any conversation.
The literal translation is; 'thou shall not murder.' God does not deny an individual the right to defend his or her family or Country... and stealing should be viewed as sinful regardless of any religious belief.
Further, Numbers 1:1-3. "The Lord spoke to Moses....saying, 'Take a census...according to the number of males, every male....from twenty years old and upward, all in Israel who are able to go forth to war.' "
I agree... and on God's end, there is no gray area in His commands for humanity... and therefore it isn't any different in God's eyes whether it is Trump's, Biden's, or Bush's war... I think it was Hillary Clinton who said something to the effect, you can't be a Christian and in Government at the same time... but then again; God is Sovereign, which really gets wild when you dig into it. "Shall there be evil in the city, and the Lord hath not done it?" or, "I form the light, and create darkness. I make peace and create evil. I the Lord do all these things." There is so much more at play than the human mind can fully grasp... However, if a person was to literally believe in a Sovereign God, they would have to admit everything is exactly as God designed... which, of course would lead us right into the silly argument for free will which we don't have time or reason for... Have a good day.
God isn't Sovereign sometimes and not others. There is no such thing as part time sovereignty. God is the orchestrator of all things according to His will and purpose... and, God made it very clear in 'Job' Satan had no power over Him. Evil has its time and purpose just like everything else... God's plan is much bigger than Foreign policy, Epstein, Trump or any of us... Christ's power, (abilities) came from God, and God protected Him until He didn't. God orchestrated and implemented the life and death of Christ, just as He has all of ours... God is sovereign all the time, and although we, (humanity) might be at war with the evil within us, (egged on by Satan as decided by God.) God is not, nor has He ever been at war with, or restricted in any way, by Satan... Everything is exactly has God predestined, and our job is to submit to God daily as Jesus did, (while accepting the life God chose for us.) So, yes... It is always God's will.
I am Jewish and openly wear a star of David around my neck. Because of my political views I have repeatedly been called a white Christian nationalist by liberals. Seems that the only definition of this term is "people I disagree with"
I wear a Temple menorah because it is THE most ancient symbol of the Israelites that dates to at least 1400 BC (first mention in Exodus 25, written in the 15th century BC). More importantly, it is the symbol of the Messiah, who is the Light of the World, and whose Law is the lamp that illuminates our path through life. It is also the official insignia of the state of Israel. The center candle (shamash) symbolizes the Servant Mashiach, who lights the six other candles. The seven candles represent the seven Feasts of YHWH (the Bible NEVER calls them the feasts of the Jews). Mashiach is represented in the Feast of First Fruits (aka First of the Harvest), the day of His resurrection.
Yes, the Bible shares lots of similar ideas with other ancient Near East cultures, some that were documented before the Biblical narrative. I liken these similarities to reading various newspapers. The NYT will present facts (or lies) to fit the narrative they want to push, versus Breitbart presenting an alternative reading of the facts. It’s up to us to discern who’s telling the truth. I rely on the Biblical narrative solely because of the factually documented life, death and resurrection of Jesus. “For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”
The menorah is a candelabra used for certain locations and celebrations....the Star of David is the religious symbol of Judaism. Google is your friend...(not a good friend as it will tell everyone what you've researched, but, nevertheless, will search the data base for you and give an answer)
Mrs. Powel of Philadelphia asked Benjamin Franklin, "Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?" With no hesitation whatsoever, Franklin responded, "A republic, if you can keep it."
What we have in Virginia is Democracy replacing our Republic. If last night's election stands, 52% of the voters will now get 90% of the seats representing the Commonwealth in Congress. The leftists, who are the voice of the minorities, and those living in the shadows, fail to realize that the very reason for a republic is to protect the minority from the tyranny of the majority. But that only applies until they reach even the slimmest of majorities. Then the tyrant in them comes out for all to see.
My favorite definition of "pure" democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner.
Can anybody in here explain to me the logic of taking a flu shot designed to combat a flu strain that hasn’t happened yet? Until anybody can tell me how *they* can know which flu strain is going to appear 6 months from now, I ain’t getting a vaccine for it. I have never gotten a flu vaccine, for this reason - and I haven’t had the flu since the 11th grade.
I don't think they can. The strain they select is probably an educated guess, but how many times have you heard, "we didn't target the correct strain, but the flu shot will still help prevent severe illness, hospitalization, or death?" It's the same messaging they used for the covid shots. I used to get an annual flu shot many years ago (provided free by my employer), but I had 2 years in a row where I was so sick. One year, I was sick from Jan-Jun and couldn't hold my new grandson until he was 3 months old. I stopped getting the shots after that and other than a minor cold here or there, I've never come close to being that sick since (my grandson is now 21!).
Another approach is good handwashing, daily exercise outdoors, avoid crowds when possible (then good handwashing :->), eat well ie fresh fruits and vegetables, eight hours of sleep (without screens), eight glasses of water... You still might get a cold or flu, but you'll be happier.
The only times I got the flu were the two times I got the flu shot. That was in 2007 and 2008. Never got it again and informed my decision to not get the COVID shot or any shot really.
I also had the Hong Kong flu in 10th or 11th grade. Fainted in health class watching a movie on burns 🥵 😂
Watched the Swine flu debacle a few years later and decided then to take no more vaxes. Had the flu 2 more times, and yes horrible but still no flu shots.
Wait, I did fall for the tetanus bs. I had horses and ‘they’ instilled max fear.
Hey Jeff, can you talk about the legality of gerrymandering to completely eliminate the votes of one party? For example, in the entire region of New England I believe they only have one Republican representative in congress. Virginia’s recent vote is another example. How is that not disenfranchisement in a representative republic?
I am from Connecticut, from the district that actually HAD a Republican Congressman - and a black man to boot! What happened? The REPUBLICANS in charge at the time, redistricted away this district and combined us w heavily Dem districts!!!! (I have NOTHING in common w the residents of Waterbury) Why - because as usual, the Republicans are just Democrats w nicer suits!
I am a military wife and from all I know the men would prefer to make up their own minds about taking a flu shot or the COVID vaccine. Most may say no. So good take on this!
Yes, and I hope they stop some of those other shots too. Jeff, my understanding is there are actually very few countries that require vaccines as a condition of entry (except maybe those already dominated by WHO, USAID and Bill Gates, i.e. in Africa).
Btw Regarding the flu, anecdotal evidence is that as soon as the guys get their flu shot, half of the troop gets really sick.
I remember telling a young co-worker in the military that smallpox was declared eradicated on planet Earth back in 1980, so there was no reason for him to have to take a smallpox shot.
I’m no Florida lawyer, but nearly 50 years in business has put me in a few depositions—comes with the territory. Raised Southern Baptist and practicing Nichiren Buddhism for almost 50 years, I still honor Christian teachings and often marvel at where the two meet when superstition is stripped away.
The Ten Commandments helped shape some of the earliest written law, yet their significance is brushed aside today amid rising Christian-phobia. Meanwhile, Islamophobia is condemned—yet extremist clerics calling for violence and intifada against non-believers are too often ignored.
That double standard isn’t tolerance—it’s hypocrisy.
I rely on the resurrection of Christ because the historical and manuscript evidence for that event dates to within a decade of it and is supported by extra biblical sources, unlike the manuscript evidence of the Buddha, which dates to hundreds of years after his death, at best. It’s hard to know for sure who the Buddha was or what he taught when the earliest manuscripts were written 400-500 years after he died. Relying on oral transmission of his teachings is like playing the telephone game (aka Chinese Whispers). I doubt the final written texts are that close to what the Buddha actually taught. The same can be said for the Talmud, which Jesus constantly battled the Pharisees and scribes over.
But even more important is the purpose of the appearance of the Messiah. Most people don’t consider that his resurrection preserves the Image of God as transmitted through Adam. We’ve all been taught that being a child of God is simply a spiritual relationship. But it’s much more than that. It’s genetic. His Image is found in the genome of those who descend from Adam. And the genome God gave Adam likely came from Christ himself. The Apostle Paul wrote in Colossians 1:15 that Christ is “the firstborn over all creation.” He existed before the cosmos. Before the angels. Before everything but the Creator Himself. This is why John 1 tells us that “He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.”
So, our life on Earth is encapsulated in the battle between the children of God and the children of the Devil (Genesis 3:15). Faith in Jesus isn’t based on manmade philosophy. It is based on the literal bloodline of the Messiah and the light He brings to His children. And his Resurrection is the key. Here’s an enlightening video you might enjoy by probably the world’s foremost scholar who specializes in the indisputable facts of the Resurrection of Christ, if you are so inclined: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6IydwWDaGXM. Peace.
Clearly you have studied Christianity, but only speculate on Buddhist teachings. Nichiren is a different Buddha. His writings come out of the translation of the Lotus Sutra which was smuggled out of Tibet into China in or around the 11th century where is was translated by Tien Tai. The 5th Buddha, Nichiren in Japan then became enlightened to the 3 great secret laws, which inspired him to inscribe in Sumie the mandala or Gohonzon in or around 1295 CE. All of his writings and teachings are, therefore, first source letters to his various followers. Those have been compiled into the Gosho (book).
If you haven’t yet read “THE IMMORTALITY KEY THE SECRETHISTORY OF THE RELIGION WITH NO NAME” by BRIAN C. MURARESKU available from Amazon, I would urge you to do so soonest. It will dramatically enhance your understanding of the people of the period surrounding the birth of Christianity. It will likely also make you go “No Shit!” Often.
Well, your assumption is correct, sorta- the Lotus Sutra the original Buddha’s called his highest teaching(84000). Nichiren is the Daishonin of the Latter Day of the Law: Nam Myoho Renge Kyo. You can Google that. Simply put it is the great secret law of the simultaneity of cause and effect.
One think everyone should know about Islam is that the prophet Mohammed's sayings and the Koran were not written down for well over 100 years after his death. Given the warlike nature of early adherents, it's entirely possible that passages were added or changed to allow for things like "terrorizing" the enemy, or raping women captives.
Robert Spencer (of Jihadwatch.org) wrote a book called "Did Mohammed exist" that is very interesting. He maintains that it's possible that Islam originated without a founding prophet, as there are no references to Mohammed in the earliest mentions of Islam. There's a lot of other things in the book too, of course.
The removal of cursive writing from teaching in schools is just part of an overall plan to dumb us down. Other things are named at the end of the article, but there are others missed, like the scientific method I remember so well in class. Life skills for boys and girls are another. Even gyms have been turned into lunchrooms.
Any kid who can't figure that out needs an IQ test...I have heard it in a antiques store once...If I had been her parent, I would have made her figure it out....mentally lazy....
Well...not having read your link, I can tell you that the excuse at the time for not teaching cursive was that computers were going to replace the need for handwriting...8 hour school days...not enough time for keyboarding as well as handwriting.
Many schools now teach printed letters, particularly lower case letters, with a little "tail" on each letter which allows the person to link letters into cursive.
Eliminating cursive was an effect, not the cause, of dumbing down. Too many inexperienced people making decisions on education...
Yea and now they think AI will solve all those problems and more, but what happens when those leading the AI revolution are no longer here and the only ones left can’t do anything without AI but they’re too ignorant to continue moving it forward?
Like Jeff’s story a month or so back about AI replacing paralegals and recent law graduates. The problem is recent law graduates do the grunt work to build knowledge. You can’t have 20 year experienced lawyers if you don’t start with recent grads. Same is true of any profession. I’m not going to hire a 1 yr plumber to replace all my plumbing. When we built our house, the new guys did the drywall and painting in the garage as training, not in the house.
Even now, I’m in high demand as a SW engineer because the young guns don’t know how to do what I do but I know because I’ve been doing it 20 years without AI. Them with AI can’t do what I do.
Well...that's exactly my feeling about people who use their expensive hand held computer as a......phone. They are mentally lazy, primarily. I actually had a younger person say to me that she was amazed at what I did on my phone. She is unaware that the browser on my phone is the same as the browser on my laptop. If I can't do something on an app because the designer limited it (such as with B&N), I can go into the browser and do it. Only by your own research do you learn anything. But you must have a voracious curiosity. Far too many people are mentally lazy. But only with experience can you develop the gut instinct to know when something rings true. You don't have to know what is bothering you about a response but just that something.
AI is a tool...just like phones and computers are....not the be all and end all. That concept will be lost for a time until the novelty wears off and its shortfalls manifest themselves.
Naomi Wolf had a good Substack post in a similar vein a few days ago. She discussed access to historical primary sources (as well as the ability to read them) and increasingly restricted access to physical books. I thought she made some interesting points.
The feeling was that online would do away with paper books. As it turns out, humans are very strange animal....just like other animals...need the connection of touch....studies have been done showing that paper touched by others emanates that someone has touched it before. Studies are also showing that competition judges are much kinder using paper than using tablets. I am always amazed at the number of people buying paper books....I personally use both, depending on subject matter. Novels are eBooks. Serious subject which might be banned are hardbound.
Yes I agree with your points. What she was saying was that students are no longer allowed to wander among the stacks of books in the library at certain universities. So they won’t happen upon a book they might not have been looking for specifically. They can only specifically request a book and use the digital search tools. There seems to be some gate keeping going on as far as that goes. And access to primary sources such as handwritten letters or inventory lists) has been limited too.
Ok....I read Naomi's article....Disclaimer: Not a fan....She has her points but she, like many others, confuse cause and effect.
I have stated many times in comments on different Substack articles about my disdain for mental laziness....People ask a question, making others be their research assistants, rather than doing their own research. Everyone can get to a library, if they want real books, or they can use their handheld computer to do research, keeping in mind that you get the answer to the question which is asked, so wording is important. But, like multiple choice math questions, one needs to have a sense about whether the answer rings true or not. Mentally lazy people go with the first response and call it a day.
Re starting in kindergarten with creating compliance: Well, that's one way to keep order with 20+ little kids...and it teaches them self-control. My experience with sailors was that the brightest were the most difficult. They have to be channeled but that takes time and energy that most people do not have. I have known and currently know kids schooled by Montessori....not impressed.
Re her mother: My mother refused to answer questions from me. She made me find out for myself. Her position was that I would never remember if she told me but would if I researched the answer for myself....the days of hauling down to the library...way before computers were even thought of.
Re hard bound books vs digital: You have to look at the publishing date of that particular edition and, if it is a translation, the background of the translator...the latter of which is subjective and not easy. The closer to the actual initial publication, the better.
Some people are simply not curious....period....those who are, find ways to get answers to their questions. I found her posting about the moon just incredible. That was the best compilation of words which she could come up with?
Re myself: I have been described as having an insatiable curiosity with a mind which is always thinking. What I feel that I have that Naomi does not have is....more years...why she cannot see cause and effect and makes quotes from other people without knowing whether the quote is credible or not....again: is it cause or effect?...
Yeah I have mixed feelings about her but sometimes do enjoy her posts. I think my main takeaway from this one, was (as I mentioned), more about the seemingly deliberate effort to limit access to books and primary sources. Either because people can’t read cursive or because they are not allowed to freely access the books and sources. Her point about students actually not being allowed to visit their university library and wander around the stacks but having to request specific works was troubling to me. I agree with her that wandering around a good library and just browsing the books can open up works you might never have thought of asking for.
“Seemingly” is the key word in your response. After many decades of conflict resolution and, having raised two boys, one thing I know it that things aren’t always as they seem. She may be correct on the reason why the library does not allow students to wander around what may be valuable books but did she ever ask why? I didn’t see that.
I continue with the theory if low trust. College students are currently in a low trust box.
Gotta agree, they could say anything. They don’t need the physical ballots, unless caught. Maybe that judge ought to take it one step further, and sequester all the ballots now,like right now. Let’s have a look at them.
They were quite likely sitting the election offices, filled out with everything except the names of the voters on the envelopes. They needed to see who hadn't voted yet.
VA Dems Just needed a pandemic and a sympathetic judge to justify all the rules bending required for their Amendment to save democracy from Trump and non-Dem voters. Undoubtedly this was the Freest, Fairest April election ever undertaken in the Tidewater State since they brung in slaves and defeated Powhatan. Only a Fascist Judge would rage-oppose these stellar results and the clear will of the People!
My grandson was considering joining the military. I told him, don’t do it unless you want to be forced to take vaccines you don’t want to take. He decided against it. Some of us really do cherish the right to choose our medical treatment.
They get a lot more than just the flu shot, too, although getting rid of the mandate for that one is a step in the right direction. Have you ever heard about the Navy ship that had an outbreak of mumps even though the entire crew had been recently vaccinated and they had been at sea for longer than the supposed incubation period?
They give you every vaXX available whether you had them as a child or not. And many at a time. It’s a wonder any of us survived. We had a girl who did not come back after. They would not tell us if she was OK or not.
and look what is happening now and bet they will force this on our military too.
Clinical trial of H5N1 vaccine underway
A Phase 2 trial of Moderna's messenger RNA-based H5N1 avian influenza vaccine has begun in the UK. Researchers aim to recruit around 3,000 volunteers in the UK and 1,000 in the US, including poultry workers and older people. The Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations is partially funding the trial after the US cut off funding.
In an almost evenly divided state, 49% republican 51% democrat, and a vote with just a 1.5% victory, Virginia will now have 10 of its 11 congress members democrat. Is this just the same old case of taxation without representation? In Ma. there are 0 republican reps but upwards of 40% of people voted for Trump. With this “work around” which is “legal theft” of a citizens most basic civil liberty, how can we call this a representative republic?
A representative republic is a form of government where citizens elect officials to make laws and decisions on their behalf, rather than voting on policy directly. It combines democratic principles (popular voting) with republicanism (rule by law and constitution), ensuring elected officials are accountable to the electorate while protecting individual rights against majority rule. A political parties use of gerrymandering is theft of representative government.
Nick Shirley - the kid that broke the Somali pirate fraud and the LA county Hospice fraud stories was talking about voter fraud in California on a recent podcast. Voter fraud is just as massive as the Learing Center style fraud. I hope that story breaks just as broadly and deeply. Those late night F curves that were so blatant in 2020 presidential, and that we continue to see are just as ridiculous, blatant and in open sight as day care centers with no children and the hospices with no dying. Many people are just math allergic, so they don't understand what they are looking at.
If we could balance the budget by stopping the theft of funds fraud, what might we find about our country and our actual collective mindset, if we stopped the fake votes?
Exactly this. They were returning it to fair. But that angered the democrats, because fair doesn’t give them the unfair advantages they need. So they have to project their own sins onto the republicans and hope the voters are still ignorant as ever.
but so few care. a friend was discussing with her landlord the hospice fraud and stealing of medical identities, which could impact his elderly parents. He dismissed it and said - politely - you really are conservative. Meanwhile these same people complain how awful the state is. For some reason, they refuse to connect the dots to reveal the picture.
Veiled insults are never polite, plus this landlord had the upper hand of power in the relationship. The people that object may be benefiting. The Landlord position is a prime position to be a beneficiary of funded illegals and section 8 fraud. At a minimum, the high rents driven by this process make for a collateral benefit.
he has an ADU so no section 8. These people are true believers that uncovering fraud is right wing. I only wish they were grifters. At least it would make sense.
Could be they have family who is benefiting or some other indirect way. I am just suspicious of these people who shrug at fraud. Either that or they need to virtue signal and want to be part of their “in crowd” so they can’t be against these things.
Sounds like one of those ‘low IQ people’ president Trump is always referring to!
Toxic empathy
That’s always my suspicion, that someone who is for these things or just doesn’t seem to care is somehow benefiting—directly or indirectly.
My local Nextdoor social site has shown me that the majority of people ( in my town) believe Nick Shirley is a fraud. That none of his “exposed fraud” was real,and,some hold up WIKIPEDIA on Nick ,as proof. Every thinking person knows that Wikipedia is a fraud/ fake news. It is astonishing to me how these people really WANT this all to be “a conservative influencer making things up for personal gain”. Sigh….
I've heard the same thing. Unfortunately, many on the left don't believe all the fraud is real. They think the "far right" is making it up. They certainly don't want any pesky facts to interfere with their Trump Derangement Syndrome!
Maybe lowering their taxes would get through to them. Fraud is a money sucker, not “government money” but the landlord’s own money. He should get that as a landlord, that increasing rent happens when expenses - like fraud - increase.
I wish. They are all in a cult! Many have livelihoods tied to wealthy people and are still planning on voting for the billionaire tax. I try to discuss it rationally with them but they, as I said, are in a cult.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Liberals/leftists are immune to facts and logic. They believe they are living out their “own truth”. Real truth cannot penetrate a depraved mind like that.
Read the first chapter of Romans and you will see that this phenomenon has been around forever.
And how unaffordable life is!
Wow.
The voting fraud is the digital voting machines. People think this will somehow be solved with voter IDs. People are being played.
The "Save America Act" will make states responsible for preventing illegal aliens from voting.
Exactly.
I guess some people believe that if the Save Act won’t repair the entire election fraud issue, we should just continue allowing every Juan, Alberto, and Musac-al-Thiefo to vote because, why not?
Absolutely agree! We should take every small step forward everytime we get the chance. That is exactly what the Left has done to drag us down for years. Use same mechanism!
The new USPS requirements should help with the fraud in mailed ballots too.
It's like taking a pill to mask symptoms. Sure, it may make you feel a bit better, but it doesn't get to the root cause. If Trump and company were serious about this, they would simply include a provision for hand counted paper ballots as part of the bill.
It doesn't matter when voting machines can be easily hacked/programmed. Why is this point lost on so many?
No mail in ballots will help immensely. https://www.whitehouse.gov/saveamerica/
I agree. What good does voter ID do when you have UPS delivering late night ballot dumps?
Mrs. RW
Johnny-O, for once I agree with you (well, ok, maybe not just once...) the voting machines are the key core problem. When the entire nation of France (France!!) Can use paper ballots and know results the next morning when they awake, we sure should be able to. In my little country township, machines are marginally useful. We had one of the two precinct's machines quit, and we had to essentially do a hand count anyway a few years ago. Like most tech, they are ok when they work, tho their manipulatability makes "working" questionable. The key is to size precincts to optimize for hand counting, but Democrat run big cities won't do that unless at gunpoint!
Remember those ‘hanging chads’, 2000 Broward county Florida… the result of that fiasco was what tipped us into digital vote machines. A judge was using a hand held magnifying glass to examine the paper fragments.
I’m all in favor of return to paper ballots, and inking of thumb after leaving the voting booth.
As someone who was a Florida voter for nearly 30 years, allow me to note that it was very easy to vote using the punch cards. Anyone who couldn't manage that very simple exercise in manual dexterity should not have been allowed to vote.
The hanging chads thing could be fixed by not punching into the ballot to vote. I never saw that in California. With paper ballots we filled in the little bubble by a name with a pen or pencil. No chads.
Same experience in late 20th century, PNW. Up here we also filled out the bubble. My early days of voting were at the local elementary school.
France can rig elections and did.
"Malfunctioning" machines are used all the time in order to create long lines and waits to discourage voters. There are so many problems associated with digital voting and it could be easily fixed, and hand counted paper ballots would have broad support.
Election integrity is not either-or. These two aspects are both most important.
Both the SAVE America Act (ensuring clean voter roles/only citizens vote, same day counting) and getting rid of machine voting (Dominion etc) have to be enacted AND enforced.
CaplT, along with no universal mail in ballots. That's where uncleaned voter rolls intersect with "mail in" ballots to give the machine illigitimate ballots to count. The only real solution is one day voting in person on paper ballots with I.D.
Yes indeed
Embrace And. It's a daunting, multifaceted problem. Ever hear eat the elephant one spoonful at a time? Voter ID would certainly shut doors to fraud.
Our elections are completely fake. You can't "fix" one aspect of a fake event and expect the powers who control all of it to just give up the source of their power. There's got to be a better way to recreate the entire election system. Otherwise we will be stuck with the fake system forever.
I heard after Shirley exposed the fraud in California the legislature outlawed people like Shirley from going into a business and showing the fraud. It cuts into the corrupt California legislators grift. Makes total sense!
There’s a bill making its way thru California legislative process but it’s not yet being brought to a vote and is widely expected to face legal challenges in federal court.
The AG’s wife introduced it. You can’t make this stuff up!!
Well, everyone from the governor on down and through almost tne entire California legislature, they're all crooked, lying, cheating Democrats. It's an open field for fraud, and apparently easy to get away with.
CR - trouble is, the Dems have become totally & utterly brazen about fraud, cheating, supporting violent crime, child abuse & illegals because they are never - NEVER - punished.
If a bunch of them had been locked up for Russia-Russia, for mass illegal immigration, for election fraud & ‘health care’ fraud, for vaxx mandates, mutilating children, attacking ICE & other crimes, they’d likely be more cautious.
The abject failure to punish a single ‘leading’ Democrat has made all of them bold as brass.
Unfortunately many politicians and swamp creatures get rich by manipulating the vote that I see no end in sight.
How many were citizens? How many are living?
would you post the link to the podcast you herd?
Nick Shirley has his own podcast. Don't know if you tube will keep this up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSh1Ey4dLcY

Perfect response
There is not a single Republican rep in any New England state, nor 13 states in total. Republicans did not start the gerrymandering in Texas, they just responded to it.
Doesn’t it figure! Gerrymandering originated in 1812 when Massachusetts Governor Elbridge Gerry signed a bill redrawing state legislative districts to favor his Democratic-Republican party. A newspaper, the Boston Gazette, dubbed one strangely distorted district a "salamander," which was quickly satirized as the "Gerry-mander" in a political cartoon.
So, the F-curve (or F*CK You Curve) is clear and certain proof of a manipulated election. Here's why and how: Mail in ballot fraud can be done to ensure you get the 2-3 point win and claim Republicans just need to work harder. They (the SOS and other election thieves in government and NGOs) keep a close and accurate tabulation of the vote, and who voted, during the first mail in fraud period of early voting (which is itself a violation of law which says we will have a one day vote). Then they use ePollbooks (or a variant, depending on which election manipulation system is in the county/state - remember they are lying when they say it is not connected to the network - which is a nefarious play on words, it is a VPN tunneled through the network) during election day to keep very close tabs on the count and who voted, leaving the all important who hasn't voted - which in most cases is way more than those who actually voted, especially in these dishonest off season elections, when predictably fewer people get off their asses and go vote.
Then the fraudulent ballots, with fraudulent signatures, get dumped after in person voting closes, creating the F curves and the "win", and the criminals then claim high turnout affirming the "will of the people". You cannot get that F U curve any other way. Deeply nefarious, dishonest, and people should go to prison. Yes, it was rigged. Now perhaps with the Trump administration in office it will finally get proven in a criminal investigation and we can get real elections restored. Paper ballots, on one day, hand counted, no network connectivity to report results. No less than our Republic is at stake.
Can you say covid? That was the original justification to change to mail in ballots .
Yep it was, they needed the "emergency" to invoke mass mail in ballot fraud. The pLandemic was the predicate and fake, totally fake emergency - and they murdered a lot of people to invoke it. It truly makes my blood boil and I want fucking heads to roll.
me too Dan.
💯
Yes, we in NE states have not had any fair Republican representation in Congress. I’m in Connecticut and I think Jodi Rell was our last Republican Governor.
You aren't missing much. Having lived in MA and NY for most of my life, I can tell you Republicans in the Northeast are barely distinguishable from Democrats.
John Thune is my senator. Other than on abortion and LGBTQ stuff, he is barely distinguishable from Democrats.
At every recess of the US Senate, John Thune, and some others conspire against Trump to prevent Trump from making any recess appointments.
Every. Single. Time.
Despite their words, the GOP and the Democrats are on the same team.
Why is it that some of the most conservative States like South Dakota yield some of the biggest rhinos?
Well, thank God he's right on life and biology. It's not everything, but it's something.
Because he is a democrat.
There certainly has to be one decent Republican in the bunch to run against a Democrat! I live in North Eastern Ct which is made up by many small towns that do have local Republican leaders and also has many small farms.
It’s the money. Without enough of it you can’t get elected. The DNC pours money into these local candidates but the RNC sits on its hands.
I have concluded that for the most part, decent people don't want to be in Congress. As more than a few have said, Congress is a sesspool. Not a swamp, a sesspool.
Flatulus, you win the nickname of the day award. Do you think we can get you to show up at the next DNC meeting and gas them???
You're too kind, but Hell will freeze over before I have anything to do with the DNC. I took the handle as a result of a past life regression that revealed I was once a Roman Senator with severe digestive problems. He was known to clear the chamber with his noxious humors.
Susan Collins!!!
😬
Illinois!! 🔥
Thank you! I was going to lookup the source of the term, but never got around to it. My nice compact Congressional District 1 in Virginia will be turned into a cartoonish brontosaurus whose little head is Alexandria and whose fat rump contains our beloved Mathews County!
Republicans currently in office here’s a reminder to copy into your daily planner - from the RNC platform 2024 (it’s still on the RNC website so it’s still the official “to do” list):
9 END THE WEAPONIZATION OF GOVERNMENT AGAINST THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
19 SECURE OUR ELECTIONS, INCLUDING SAME DAY VOTING, VOTER IDENTIFICATION, PAPER BALLOTS, AND PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Make Salamandering Great Again!
notwithstanding that the percentage of republicans in some of those states is more than 40% - why haven't republicans in those states taken the state to court - some of the jerrymandering may come crashing down if the USSC rules as it should in a case before them now
Illinois is gerrymandered but the corrupt dems don’t need it. Jumbo Pritzker won with ~3 counties: including Chicago and the ‘burbs. Downstate IL need not exist except to support the city with our farm taxes. The governor’s mansion in Springfield sits empty. JBP barely acknowledges the part of IL south of I-80.
It's hard enough to get out a massive Republican vote, much less get them to rise up and protest against these things.
Remember when Eric Holder left his position of AG he went directly to a group focusing on REDISTRICTING. That was 2017. Yes, the democrats started it.
Keep in mind, the Texas re-districting was court mandated, to alleviate racial disparities. It just so happened that in curing that, it helped the GOP. Racial remapping is legal, but the courts have not ruled against party remapping yet.
I know. I am only parroting the BS excuse the bolsheviks used when they did this
I had just received a response from my VA senator Mark Warner after I asked him to pass the SAVE Act and he said it would disenfranchise "millions" of voters. I told him he applauded the passage of the bill to re-gerrymander the districts which disenfranchises 50% of VA voters. Our other VA senator, Tim Kaine even stated "sic semper tyrannis" after the passage, apparently forgetting that John Wilkes Booth said the same thing after killing Lincoln. They just tried to kill off half of VA's voters (figuratively).
Remember the part of the Constitution that says the ppl must rise up and REMOVE the lawless government! Then when we do "nice" ppl feel uncomfortable and jump in on the "he's starting WW3!" parade. It's just too much to take.
Richard Grenier. As George Orwell pointed out, 'people sleep peacefully...only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.'
That was the Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution.
And it refers to the people of a country rising up, not a foreign country coming in and destroying your government.
Mrs. RW
Thank you. I really had an inkling that I was mixed up. 😞
RJ, I agree. My later post addresses the solution.
It’s a waste of time to try & reason with democrat state leaders. I’ve tried it many times & always get the same canned response written in party line. We’re going to need the Save Act with federal rules for federal elections. Get rid of mail in voting. https://www.whitehouse.gov/saveamerica/
I wrote again! In my dumpster fire of a state(for only a few more months!) we have not been represented for years! Mail in ballots have ruined Washington state
Patti, and your neighbor, my state, Oregon. It's sad and discusting, and infuriating!
Especially when they are part of the wealthy political class telling Americans who pay their salaries, how to live. That ain’t leadership.
The wealthy political class are a bunch of rich, elite scolds. They think they know everything about everything.
The entire West Coast is a dumpster fire. Republicans have such miniscule representation in California that they might as well stay home. They can't influence anything at all.
I say don’t stay home and drag a friend or 5! Gotta get in the fight to complain about the fight. Definitely not making anything better if you’re not showing up. It is exhausting
I'd beg to disagree... we might not always win, but we ARE NOT STAYING HOME... for you or anybody else!!! We'll see about that "influence" soon... Mark my words...
The facts are going to take out this bad law. It was illegally sent to the voters. Ken Cuccinelli outlines the 4 constitutional challenges. https://electiontransparency.org/2026/04/22/virginia-redistricting-legal-challenges-cuccinelli/
Thanks for this great link.
Don’t ya LOVE when your representative tries to explain to you what is best 🤬
which proves they are not listening to us yet we pay their salaries.
😡
The last time I wrote to Chris Murphy about something he wrote back that it wasn’t on his agenda but I should follow him on facebook to see what was on his agenda!
Real HELPFUL 😏
Not to mention the “disenfranchising”baloney they assert is a complete lie… like virtually everything coming from the Democrat machine. It’s disgusting
Its pretty sad, that in all too many cases, having a Republican Governor is the only shot we have at getting a fair deal.
But the Democrats "feel" this is okay.
The left doesn't have groupthink.
They have groupfeel. Which is a hundred times worse.
Ryan, in Vermont we have a Republican Governor but he is constantly shot down by the Democrat "super majority"
That’s exactly what will happen in CA if a Republican takes the governorship in the coming election.
Here in New Hampshire we have a Republican governor and legislature (barely). Then we have Senators Shaheen and Hassan and Congressman/woman Pappas and Goodlander (a.k.a Mrs Jake Sullivan). All Democrats. Figure that one out.
Doesn’t make sense does it.
But at least you have proper voter ID which includes proof of citizenship👍
So utterly unfair
Supermajority is mob rule.
AJF, whom do you blame for the supermajority? It is obvious the voters there like what they have
Dead people and aliens vote. 💀👽🗳️
And they vote sometimes more than once.
☑️ yep
Peter, it's complicated. For example, the so called " environmental groups" wrote ACT 181 which turns out to be basically a land grab.... everyone on board cause it was sold as great for the environment, etc. Governor vetoed it (as 65% of rural Vermonters agreed) but the Dems over road the veto. Thankfully parts of it are getting walked back because people are fighting back and their elected officials are shaking in their boots! Good! This is what needs to happen in the Federal government.
—“They have groupfeel. Which is a hundred times worse.”
🎯🎯🎯
The Democrat definition of "fair" is that Democrats run everything 100%.
Jeff, the AG of VA is Jay Jones, of I wish death on my rivals kids in text messages fame. The fabulous Jason Miyares is the former AG who is ardently opposed to the outlandish amendment.
The VA law clearly says that to change constitution there has to be a majority vote in legislature, and a second vote after a legislature election, and then a majority public vote in a referendum. We moved to VA in 2025 and I assumed they had done the two legislature votes but no this seems to have been skipped.
I’m surprised the constitution gets changed with just majority votes — in many states you need a supermajority which seems better to me.
Some of that is why it probably will be knocked down. Abby and Louise Lucus were SO DETERMINED to get it done BEFORE the mid-terms, they were willing to try it, even knowing it might fail.
I don’t understand how the courts look at it. If they hadn’t correctly followed procedure, I’m surprised that courts let them hold the referendum, which will confuse electorate. Everyone would be irate — republicans for the whole shenanigans, democrats for the courts “blocking the will of the people”. Maybe there is some fine print I’m unaware of.
The courts have to wait for "damage". The NOs (mostly Rs) were irate from the beginning and filed some lawsuits but the courts had to wait for the outcome. If the NOs won, it was moot. Since the YES (barely) won, the rulings and filings are flying.
Legal procedures are often confusing and frustrating.
Spanburger also just signed an executive order that said Virginia’s electoral college votes in the federal elections would be given to the winner of the popular vote. So she gave away people’s right to vote for president.
That is also unconstitutional. It will not stand.
Only happen if someone sues over it.
Democratically elected reps. I assume that means each eligible person gets to vote if they want to. If non citizens and dead people vote are we still a representative democracy? Asking for a friend.
James Goodrich, great comment but "theft" is too kind by far. It's undermining the Nation, destroying trust, tantamount (Portlanders, that means "sort of amounting to") a direct assault on each person. And it should be answered in kind!
It’s a civil rights violation. Discrimination based on politics which we see over and over again from democrats. Maybe the ACLU or the southern poverty law center could take this up, before the splc goes belly up 😂😂😂
I moved to Virginia about 50 years ago; I still remember the snide remarks of some of my new neighbors re “crooked” Maryland politics.
Tuesday’s “vote” re redistricting is an embarrassment. It smacks of democrat machine politics . . and tells the country a lot about the current democrat party, and machine (win at any cost) politics. Any right-thinking Virginian (or American) would say that what just happened in Virginia is flat out wrong. Redistricting to gain a minor political advantage, per se, is understandable but what has already happen in New England, and now in Virginia is obvious disenfranchisement, and can not be allowed to stand.
And then there is the obvious question of voting integrity. Most of my life it has been verboten to question election results . . I feel so naive.
And let us not forget the effect of states "importing" illegals, who are then counted and included in the calculations that determine the number of representatives a state is entitled to.
For example, it was recently reported that Gavin Newsom spent some one billion dollars to assist the importation of some 400,000 illegals into his state. If true, this would equate to an additional five seats in the House of Representatives...and those seats must come from other states.
This is exactly why President Trump was calling for another census that would ONLY COUNT LEGAL residents...
In Orange Cnty Calif. where I reside, there would be cities that would not count towards House Reps....
Living in Virginia, there is nothing surprising in today's C & C reporting on the special election re constitutional amending. Also, I figure that Trump probably won Virginia at least twice, and I had already figured that the radicals rigged yesterday's election results. And I'll add that the Republican Party has never been aggressive in making a big issue state-wide over election fraud. All along, the party should have insisted on one day voting. All along the party should have been busy beavers at pointing out and broadcasting loud and clear election irregularities. And such irregularities are not hard to see. But they did not do so. It is almost as if the Republicans consciously want their party permanently put out of business.
Massachusetts is the exact same. They play to lose. They are like the Washington Generals that always lose to the Globetrotters!
The interrupt to the pattern have been Trump and the handful like DeSantis. I attribute this to factional division, a civil war being fought from the very highest level of Western Power. We the wee folk are never informed of this, but we can see that this is so by 'reflective light'. As such, we the wee folk are observers from the outside looking in. Most people do not have the appreciation of this situation.
I saw the 'do nothing' party up close for about five years of intense political activity. I saw the operations of the Virginia General Assembly up close. And there are many gradations of understanding within the General Assembly. Most people in the Assembly, whether Dems or Rs see and know process alone. Most were quite ignorant as to the overall orchestration which was 'mind controlling' them ... channeling them if you will. I imagine that the awareness by political operatives as to what is going on has risen some due to the intensities and magnitudes inherent in and brought about by the actions of the civil war being waged.
Thank God for Judge Jack Hurley who struck down the redistricting amendment within 24 hours of the voting results.
I posted the same thing further down, wish I’d started reading the comments first. Sigh.
Don’t sigh. With the various ways to read comments duplication insures it’s seen at least once!
Bears repeating…. Thanks!……
It does at that!
We cannot allow the Californication of any other state.
In the CA governor debate, all the leftists were against being required to read English to obtain a driver's license.
Rock salt dumb
Since you have to be able to speak/understand English to become an American citizen, why on earth are DMVs & Ballots in any other language? I'm with you Torrance. AZ is f'ed up as well. The Hobgoblin has seen to that.
I would add to this the DNC's use of lawfare to keep candidates off the ballot. During the last presidential election they repeatedly sued RFK jr and the green candidate, essentially removing choice for voters. I guess you could also add how they changed the primary rules for their party if they have an incumbent which is why Biden had no opposition at the primary level in most states.
https://x.com/WallStreetApes/status/2046762106595447238?s=20
Need a correction here Jeff. Jason Miyares was the last AG. Cuban exile, good guy. I've met and talked to him. The current AG is Jay Jones, the one who called for the murder of a Republican rep and his kids. But thanks for the good article. The strike down was the last thing I saw before I went to bed. It saved an otherwise very melancholy day.
I still can't believe Jay Jones was elected. VA citizens are going to have a tyrant lording over them for a while. But my guess is that in about two years, some skeleton in his closet will be revealed. Someone that crazy has lots of them.
He was elected the same way this referendum "won". She didn't win either. The same way Warner "won." The same way "Kaine "won". The same way Biden "won"
Amazing the way a sack of mail-in ballots always appear right at the last minute, isn't it? Our VA (CIA) governor is so extreme left that even the democrat legislature is trying to rein her in.
This is exactly why I say no matter how a state decides to set up voting, mail in, in person, extended etc, no ballot may be counted until ALL ballots are in the county board of election counting room. THEN you begin counting, NO ballots maybe delivered after the counting has begun.
If election officials are found to have held back ballots from areas expected to be for the opposition party shall lose all government pensions they may have, and go to jail for election interference for a minimum of 5 years. Maybe a massive fine as well, just to ensure they understand skunk works are verboten.
yes, some jail time and very large fines should help but there needs to be observers at all ballot counts and folks to question the counts when they appear suspicious.
Always, pollwatchers that they can't kick out. If they say pillwatchers have to leave, the counting stops, everyone must leave and state troopers police the area
There is another way. In my county, we verify and then open all the absentee ballots and they are sitting in stacks in the ballot room. The second the polls close, they are fed into the counting machines. There is NO reason I can think of why this can't be done in every state.
See above. All manner of ballots must be present, verified, number of ballots received within the range of registered voters.
I wonder if a fingerprint on absentee ballots to confirm that is the person sending in the ballot. Of course, there is no way of knowing if someone "helped" them fill out the ballot.
With her expert practice of taqiyya, you'd think she was Muslim.
Who's to say she is not?
Went to a local county meeting where our VA reps and minority Senate leader spoke and answered questions. They said the dem majority reps don't like scumburger much more than we do.
I absolutely HATE mail in ballots! The whole things smacks of fraud!
When are Republicans going to learn to play the game?
They aren't but Trump is. Patience. It is coming. I am very confident.
You still talking about Epstein?
You still talking about Dracula?
"Dracula" was really a Social Critique of Jews https://share.google/tK6K0irGmozcWv5ns
Not until we vote those kind of republicans in. The problem is the cheat keeps that from happening because half the RINO republicans benefit from the cheat
They are called Conservatives for a reason....
I’ve said this! I said when they play by the same rules we may have a fighting chance
My guess is never.
I live in Northern Virginia (the infamous Fairfax County). I fully believe an absurdly high percentage of people here voted Yes, because everyone I know is liberal. And they can afford to be! The rest of VA must hate us. Sorry, guys, my husband and I voted No but the libs of NoVA prevailed.
same same. it has become overrun with AWFL's. So have Arlington and Loudoun counties. I spent time last night looking at other places I may want to live. The taxes here are going to go up, and up, and up.
It's still going to get very bad here, but at least it is not hopeless now
Hey, all my friends are AWFLs! 😂
You really need better friends Paula! Hoping you find some good ones!
I feel your pain…in Loudoun county…uggg….but lots of vote NO signs out my way
no, the libs of nova cheated. thanks for your vote!
Selected not elected- sickening
We do, but you and my former college roommate are excepted.
🤣 exactly the cheat is REAL
Nick Freitas is leaving VA!
I, and many others, may have misunderstood his post about making his last post from his Culpeper porch…
Where did you get that? He retired from VA legislature but haven't seen anything about him leaving.
By now you‘ve likely seen that he did in fact leave Virginia for Tennessee.
Can't blame him. He definitely had a target on his back.
He was “se”elected with the most evil skeletons out of his closet and on full display! What is worse than wishing death upon your opponents children???
In a sane world Jones would have been kicked to the curb in a truly bipartisan fashion. But sanity is now a liability. I sincerely hope you’re right about his skeletons, but if a written statement wishing death on his opponent AND HIS KIDS wasn’t enough for his party to dump him it’s hard to conceive an offense that would have any consequences.
I’m a lifelong Virginian, and proud of it. Until the recent past, Virginia was known for its pro-business, moderate government (under either party), financial stability and the culture of a “Virginia Gentleman” in social issues. Now we are ruled by the four counties and a half dozen cities, all in northern Virginia, with a population heavily weighted with federal government employees. Pull up a map of the voting results for this and any other election since about 2016 and it’s plain to see. Of course the national map has the same imbalance.
The best thing that could happen for us would be for President Trump to make good on his threat to move the federal government agencies to parts unknown around the country. Scatter the biggest blocs of bureaucrats to the far reaches of our wonderful country. They could use the education.
I have been saying for many years most of the federal government departments should be moved. This will break up the swamp, reduce lobbying by making it far more expensive, and put the departments closer to the people they are supposed to serve (but currently don’t).
I’ve only been to DC once. I felt like I’d been slimed nearly the entire time.
The best view of DC is heading west on I-66 and looking in the rear view mirror 😎
Hope you’re right on that one. Living in Virginia is about to become very unpleasant.
or he may be found in his closet as a skeleton:]
The situation in Virginia is why the SAVE act is necessary. People are so dubious of how we run elections that any close election is suspicious.
Too bad cockroach Thune is a damned traitor to all conservatives...
I’m not sure it’s just him, the rest of them talk it up like they’re trying to make it happen, but they’re not doing anything. The word is that they’re going to wait until it’s too close to the November election to get the states to comply.
Jay “speedy” Jones has no business being star AG, wishing Miyares was still in office
I was wondering who was the AG who didn’t even know VA law when he developed the redistricting law/ initiative. What a joke!
DEI hire. Also wanted to murder his opponents children, just sayin’.
12 COVID SHOTS! That's how many people have had if they got the initial 2-shot series and then boosters every spring and fall. I just saw an advertisement today at the grocery store for spring boosters. The informed consent form just has a line that says, "I have received, read and/or had explained to me the VIS." (Vaccine Information Statement) When I asked at the pharmacy desk for Vaccine Information Statements for all the vaccines that are recommended for ages 50 and up, the employee brought me one for the covid shot (with a footprint on it, as if it had been trampled underfoot), and had to print off the rest for me. This seems to be evidence that they don't regularly give them to customers as required by law. How can you have an informed consent form that states "I have received, read and/or had explained to me the VIS" when they don't even have copies available?
12 shots and a death warrant
12 shots is what is adding to the depravity of the dem party. it has affected their brains.
I have seen reports that empirically support what you are saying - it also produces infertility so they will not be reproducing and that is a good thing
A very good thing. I have a few neighbors that are Dems and encourage them to keep up with all jabs. I also went to the local Dem meetings in my city pretending to be a Dem. Encouraged all to get jabs and a few at the same time.
Frightening report on multiple COVID booster shots...
https://www.malone.news/p/what-your-covid-booster-did-to-your
No need for the warrant. Already dead.
Every time I walk into my grocery store I see the huge poster for Get your Covid and flu shots here! It always makes my blood boil a little bit more each time I see it 😳😡🤯
My local store is even worse! Not only are they offering free shots, they are PAYING people to get them! They recently offered $20 worth of free groceries in return for getting your shots!
There is something seriously sick and wrong about this. Who IS paying for the shots to begin with, and then how can the store give away a $20 value?
The markup on the vaccine for those who ARE paying (ie gov't, insurance cos, etc) is high enough to cover "free." Remember handouts of "free" cigarette samples? Addiction is a powerful motivator.
It’s coercion. And here’s another thing: are the Albertson’s people truly going to be able to handle a situation wherein a person they just jabbed passes out, has a seizure, or worse? Really? I would let them put a bandaid on me but that’s abt the extent of medical intervention I’d allow a grocery store to do to me. Giving shots? HELL no.
Somebody filthy rich must be bankrolling this baiting for vaccines
Yep— the signage alone has got to be expensive, never mind the freebies.
At Albertson's, it's $20 *per vaccine* and they advertise to get them for the whole family.
What kind of store? Kroger?
It’s a local chain named United, but they are owned by Albertsons.
Go shop at ALDI.
well, the good news is most dems will take them. that will lower their numbers.
Self annihilation. Let them do it. One less nut running around.
no prob with it as long as it is dems doing it to themselves.
If MAGA hats and shirts are banned because they “trigger” the snowflakes, why can’t we have “covid” stuff banned because A) It was a scam and B) seeing the word “triggers” us? Maybe an art of Covid Triggered needs to start complaining, IN WRITING, to establishments pushing “misinformation”. Good for the goose; good for the gander 😉
Or...
Maybe we should bring lawsuits against the companies for not providing true informed consent.
This! I hope somebody with enough money to file does!
And deceptive advertising.
Odd that "hero" RFK has not called for that...
Some say he is being blocked and controlled by the Big Pharma maggot Wiles... and, of course, Trump himself made HIS loyalties clear by spooning with scumbag Pfizer Bourla in the Oval...
Glad I’m not the only one who gets triggered
Doesn't make my blood boil. It makes me find the store manager and/or pharmacy head and ask them why they are part of Pfizer's marketing campaign. I get 1) blank stares, 2) shrugs, 3) sheepish glances at watches "oh look at the time" getaways.
Not just the huge poster, but it's blasted over the loudspeaker every 5 mins.
"Be sure to get your covid/flu booster today!". GAG!
I heard that at walgreens and with a loud voice answered back fuck the jabs.
Ugh I HATE that!! 😡
What if that sign were accidentally revised by a Sharpie?
😂😂😂
13 or so years ago on the 4th of July I had to go to the emergency room for a scratched cornea. I had no idea what had occurred to scratch it and so the doctor suggested I get a tetanus shot. I didn't think I had come into contact with any metal and was reluctant to get the shot, but he persisted and I weakened and took it. After receiving the shot, he handed me the consent form which stated that it was not simply a tetanus shot but also for pertussis and diptheria. I was furious. Had I known it was a three in one I never would have consented.
First of all, a tetanus vaccine after an injury cannot protect against possible tetanus from that injury.
Secondly, that injury was not in danger of tetanus infection. Third, that is common, to be given info after a vaccine is administered, but totally unethical AND a violation of FDA regulations.
Thank you for that. Not that I get shots--I was so deeply angry that I refused to get another shot--and in fact, it prepared me for the Covid psy-op and made me deeply vaccine skeptical long before that event. I had already become vaccine skeptical in the 90s when I noticed adverse reactions in my pets. Oddly, however, tetanus seemed so acceptable that I tended to accept it. In college I stepped on a nail and naturally I went and got a tetanus. What you say totally makes sense--so much so that I wonder why I accepted the fiction in the first place. The only answer is that it was kneejerk, just something we did. Very important to question all such actions!
be very wary with pet vaccines. vet med is blue pilled to the max.
I haven't even vaccinated for rabies for my dogs. I won't do any that the breeder won't do. But I don't do boosters, etc. It's really crazy. I've had deep vet distrust for more than 30 years now. Makes it hard to be a pet owner. I have a decent vet now that doesn't push anything on me.
A.M., find a holistic vet. They are night and day from what an allopathic vet is like. Here is a site to help find one.https://www.ahvma.org/find-a-holistic-veterinarian/#!directory/map/
or you can google, "holistic veterinarian in (put your city)."
They don't push vaccines and offer excellent modalities that allopathics don't. To give you a taste, sign up for free for vitalanimal.com with Dr. Will Falconer or Dr. Karen Becker a well know holistic vet. https://drkarenbecker.com/
I hope this will restore a bit of your faith in vet med.
When i was offered one I asked if it was just tetanus and the doctor had to check. Nope it was the 3. I asked if was possible to get just the one and they said no. Well then that's my answer.
A tetanus vaccine after an injury cannot protect against possible tetanus from that injury.
Always ask why they are concerned about tetanus. If they provide a satisfactory answer (puncture wound that did not bleed, possibly contaminated by animal feces), request a shot of tetanus immunoglobulin.
Tonya, thanks for your comment. My wife fell down while walking the dogs last year and busted up her face. I took her to the Emergency room for stitches and they wanted to give her tetanus shot. I said no way and gave the same reason you stated. The nurse glared at me and asked if I was the patient or my wife? She then asked my wife (who is not confrontational) and she caved. The nurse left and a different nurse came back in to administer the shot. It also turned out to be TDAP.
I recall from my Microbio classes (in the 80s) that one should be more concerned with pseudomonas aeruginosa than tetanus.
Learned that tetanus does not come from metal. It is common in farming areas where there's lots of animal dung around. They certainly don't tell us these things, do they?
Tetanus is an anaerobic organism, which is why PUNCTURE type wounds are such that any tetanus present could thrive. An open wound like a laceration does not provide an anaerobic environment. Drives me crazy anytime y land in the ER with any sort of wound, they want to give you another tetanus injection! (As most of us have had more than a couple in our life 🙄)
Wow. Absolutely everything has to be re-considered.
Absolutely true. With the covid era, I've come to realize there's a lot of bad medical information floating around there and these days it feels like you have to walk in almost knowing more than the doctor does
They did the same thing to me
How did he know that your vision was good enough to read it? 🤔
When my kids received childhood vaccines. They would hand you the vaccine information after the appointment and the shots were already in arms.. and legs… not really informed consent is it?
Here was my informed consent when I asked what the negatives to giving them to my children would be: “nothing really. We’ve never seen any negative side effect in our practice but a mild fever, but that’s usually gone within a day. You might have some fringe parents who swear they cause autism, but there isn’t a shred of evidence of that, all nonsense….you have nothing to worry about.”
Why would I ever suspect my educated, trained doctors would lie to me? About harming my babies? I was so naive in my late 20s early 30s. I trusted them wholly.
Same. They were very reassuring and I didn’t know anyone who had ever experienced any adverse effects so I trusted that. Now that I know how uninformed THEY are and how uninterested they are in making sure they know what they’re talking about, I don’t trust them at all, as a group and as a general rule.
Yes, the doctors themselves don't recognize adverse reactions to vaccines because they are taught that they are so rare. Yet they see them all the time (asthma, rashes, diarrhea, fevers, seizures) and blame them on other things, like environmental factors, genetics, or viruses.
True and good point.
Amen! I have almost zero respect for pediatricians anymore. I think they might be the most hated medical specialty these days
We were all too trusting and naive. They've sure killed that for us. Thank God!
That's why everyone should be asking for the inserts from the packages BEFORE any shots are given. Most common side effects are listed - those are not the only ones possible, but are the most common.
No, it's not. Check all of the paperwork you have ever signed. They use weasel words to get you to agree to any shot offered and to say you have been "informed".
Vaccine Lies and Vaccine Truths
Drug companies tell many lies about vaccines and vaccination. Lies which journalists and politicians then repeat.
Vaccines are not safe nor effective, Dr. Vernon Coleman says, citing the example of the covid “vaccine,” which he believes has caused far more harm than good.
Vaccines are responsible for a range of health problems, including immune system disorders, allergies and autism. And the benefits of vaccines are often exaggerated or fabricated for commercial reasons....

Clinical trial of H5N1 vaccine underway
A Phase 2 trial of Moderna's messenger RNA-based H5N1 avian influenza vaccine has begun in the UK. Researchers aim to recruit around 3,000 volunteers in the UK and 1,000 in the US, including poultry workers and older people. The Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations is partially funding the trial after the US cut off funding.

Are there still that many people willing to get the shots?
Amazing right? You would think they would have learned by now.
Rinse and repeat. Clearly, the mRNA technology is important to their depopulation program and cannot be allowed to be questioned, neither by Trump nor DeSantis. We can pretty much count on ANOTHER pandemic. I just hope it sets off a revolution.
Covid jabs should have started the revolution.
Journalists and politicians but also doctors and nurses!
Those drug companies that Trump called some of the greatest companies in the world.
Dumb and stupid is no way to go through life son.

Boy, I didn’t have that side effect on my bingo card😱
That will shrink the number of men getting it!🤣
LOL!!
Oh my word! 😳😆
In 2021 they disappeared the entire knowledge of "cold and flu season".
In 2020 they still acknowledged it, but when the shots came out, they dropped it right down the Memory Hole, especially when so many people resisted getting the jabs.
They rolled out Delta in the summer of 2021, not in cold and flu season, and they concentrated on the south, which was the most resistant.
Not a word was ever said about the unusual spectacle of having a new flu show up in July.
And now they have "spring boosters"? And no one calls them out?
It's pathetic how well they can play us.
Mrs. RW
ha ha! that footprint says it all! 👞👟🥾🥿👠👡👢
The sheeple addicted to Covid shots do not care about reading anything about informed consent, what is in the bioweapon or what the
side effects might be. If they got to 12 shots at this point their brain is not functioning!
and look at what is next...

Urghhhhhhh
Judge Murphy?
Pete did everyone in the mil a solid and got rid of the flu shot requirement. Thats a crazy good thing for us all.
My 2019 flu shot tainted my O neg CMV neg blood with HBsAG (non-confirming). There are no discernable effects, apart from being permanently deferred from donating, something I did every nine weeks like clockwork. If you understand blood, you will immediately know that I was a neo-donor. I had a universal blood type without CMV that could be safely given to everyone of any age without knowing their current blood type. What was taken from me was taken from untold numbers of the very people who need it immediately, without first typing their blood. Requiring anyone to take those witches brews is profoundly evil.
Wow. That sounds like grounds for a specific lawsuit.
Geez, I thought it was pretty well known that the flu shot is not effective, especially for older people.
💔
My dad got hep b from a blood transfusion
Oh wow that’s horrible 😞
Guess secretary of navy disagreed: maybe heavy investor in the drug trust.
Phelan, a Palm Beach-based private equity investor, art collector, and major Trump donor who had poured millions into supporting the president, had no prior military or Navy experience when he was nominated in late 2024
Phelan’s name appeared on a flight manifest showing that he flew in 2006 on the plane of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The manifest showed Phelan flew with Epstein; several other financiers; and one passenger who appeared to be French modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel, a close associate of Epstein who was facing charges of rape of a minor and sexual assault when he was found dead in his prison cell in 2022.
A close friend of Phelan’s said he had been invited to fly on the plane by Bear Stearns CEO Jimmy Cayne, who died in 2021. Phelan did not know they’d be flying on Epstein’s plane until they arrived, the close friend said, and Phelan did not speak or interact with Epstein again.
One big club....Apparently the blackmail evidence is strong enough to make Trump destroy his whole legacy with this Iran mess. I can't see of any other reason Trump would be so dumb to do all of this - unless of course he is in on it the whole time.
OH wait, I forgot.....TRUST THE PLAN.
Shut up Bot, and let them work.
Yes, let the government do whatever they want! What could go wrong?
Let's let them shovel billions to UAE, one of the richest countries in the region as Trump is suggesting we do. Utter clowntown.
Get yourself and all your friends here to follow "you" into politics and work from the inside, instead of coming on Jeff's site daily to complain and criticize.
Kushner is a sticky situation - he is out negotiating in a region where he has a lot of financial backers and interests, yet he is being allowed to do so without any oversight from our government. Kushner is a zionist as well, so not sure how/why we think sending a zionist to negotiate with a country that is an enemy of zionism is of benefit or a smart move to begin with.
Phelan was on the flight logs?
Joy...
The War Secretary explained, “We will not force you, because your body, your faith, and your convictions are not negotiable.”
While the Ten Commandments in schools say thou shalt not kill or steal.
Which is it?
I’m sorry?
It’s possible for both to be true.
I have a friend who doesn’t eat meat. I don’t eat meat at her house. That’s not a sin.
Do not feed the troll. It just encourages his nonsense.
Bringing up the irony of Pete Hagueseth being some good guy who cares about humans juxtaposed against his school bombing (and other war crimes) isn't trolling. Sorry if it leaves a bad taste in your mouth - perhaps take it up with the war criminal.
War is messy. Mistakes are made. Grow up.
By your standards I guess it’s much better to support a terrorist regime that slaughters their own people, treats women like animals, rapes children as a cultural norm and uses their own citizens as bait.
The IRGC is pure evil and considering the fractures now fully visible within the Iranian “leadership” it appears anyone outside the IRGC is now their prey.
Most of their "schools" are used as covers. I read an Iranian comment that the bodies found in the "school" were from the killings of the demonstrators. That the IRGC buried (or whatever they do with dead people) the males but retained many of the females to have for just such a occasion. I have no idea if it's true but it wouldn't surprise me.
Sounds anti semantic
Only when you start it.
Yeah that is totally what I said and advocate for. Take your own advice and grow up.
The government you are fawning over is protecting the predator Epstein class, but the double standards exercised on this forum hold no bounds!
Can't you find a bridge to crawl under troll?
Perhaps you could tell others who are constantly rude to me to interact kindly as well? What i do is generally quite mild in contrast to what some of them say towards me. But alas, you are correct. It just gets old being called a troll, bot TDS etc. It just deflects from any conversation.
I dont eat meat from Gaza.
The literal translation is; 'thou shall not murder.' God does not deny an individual the right to defend his or her family or Country... and stealing should be viewed as sinful regardless of any religious belief.
But God doesn't want Iranians to defend their country?
And is looting OK? What about stealing oil?

Further, Numbers 1:1-3. "The Lord spoke to Moses....saying, 'Take a census...according to the number of males, every male....from twenty years old and upward, all in Israel who are able to go forth to war.' "

How about bombs on women and children?
I agree... and on God's end, there is no gray area in His commands for humanity... and therefore it isn't any different in God's eyes whether it is Trump's, Biden's, or Bush's war... I think it was Hillary Clinton who said something to the effect, you can't be a Christian and in Government at the same time... but then again; God is Sovereign, which really gets wild when you dig into it. "Shall there be evil in the city, and the Lord hath not done it?" or, "I form the light, and create darkness. I make peace and create evil. I the Lord do all these things." There is so much more at play than the human mind can fully grasp... However, if a person was to literally believe in a Sovereign God, they would have to admit everything is exactly as God designed... which, of course would lead us right into the silly argument for free will which we don't have time or reason for... Have a good day.
Foreign policy controlled by Satan.
Get behind me Satan, said Christ.
Not always Gods will.
Satan still talking about Epstein to DJT.
God isn't Sovereign sometimes and not others. There is no such thing as part time sovereignty. God is the orchestrator of all things according to His will and purpose... and, God made it very clear in 'Job' Satan had no power over Him. Evil has its time and purpose just like everything else... God's plan is much bigger than Foreign policy, Epstein, Trump or any of us... Christ's power, (abilities) came from God, and God protected Him until He didn't. God orchestrated and implemented the life and death of Christ, just as He has all of ours... God is sovereign all the time, and although we, (humanity) might be at war with the evil within us, (egged on by Satan as decided by God.) God is not, nor has He ever been at war with, or restricted in any way, by Satan... Everything is exactly has God predestined, and our job is to submit to God daily as Jesus did, (while accepting the life God chose for us.) So, yes... It is always God's will.

I am Jewish and openly wear a star of David around my neck. Because of my political views I have repeatedly been called a white Christian nationalist by liberals. Seems that the only definition of this term is "people I disagree with"
What are your views on Israels mass-slaughter of innocents in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran?
And do you honor and follow the Talmud?
Seriously.
Thought that the menorah was the religious symbol of Judaism.
I wear a Temple menorah because it is THE most ancient symbol of the Israelites that dates to at least 1400 BC (first mention in Exodus 25, written in the 15th century BC). More importantly, it is the symbol of the Messiah, who is the Light of the World, and whose Law is the lamp that illuminates our path through life. It is also the official insignia of the state of Israel. The center candle (shamash) symbolizes the Servant Mashiach, who lights the six other candles. The seven candles represent the seven Feasts of YHWH (the Bible NEVER calls them the feasts of the Jews). Mashiach is represented in the Feast of First Fruits (aka First of the Harvest), the day of His resurrection.
Thank you.
Excellent post.
I read that the Star of David was created for the State of Israel.
Shamash is interesting. I remember Shamash from the Epic of Gilgamesh, a Sumerian god, possibly the sun god.
Many religions share their ideas.
Yes, the Bible shares lots of similar ideas with other ancient Near East cultures, some that were documented before the Biblical narrative. I liken these similarities to reading various newspapers. The NYT will present facts (or lies) to fit the narrative they want to push, versus Breitbart presenting an alternative reading of the facts. It’s up to us to discern who’s telling the truth. I rely on the Biblical narrative solely because of the factually documented life, death and resurrection of Jesus. “For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”
Here is a starting point.
https://radbodslament.substack.com/?ref=jermwarfare.com
The menorah is a candelabra used for certain locations and celebrations....the Star of David is the religious symbol of Judaism. Google is your friend...(not a good friend as it will tell everyone what you've researched, but, nevertheless, will search the data base for you and give an answer)
Star of David info... (no, Candace is NOT an "antisemite", just a truth-speaker)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2uwdgTWXg4
They both are. However the 6 pointed star, commonly referred to as the star of David is more commonly used.
Originally a masonic symbol.
No relation to David.
I read recently that the menorah was actually the symbol that David used.
Mrs. Powel of Philadelphia asked Benjamin Franklin, "Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?" With no hesitation whatsoever, Franklin responded, "A republic, if you can keep it."
What we have in Virginia is Democracy replacing our Republic. If last night's election stands, 52% of the voters will now get 90% of the seats representing the Commonwealth in Congress. The leftists, who are the voice of the minorities, and those living in the shadows, fail to realize that the very reason for a republic is to protect the minority from the tyranny of the majority. But that only applies until they reach even the slimmest of majorities. Then the tyrant in them comes out for all to see.
My favorite definition of "pure" democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner.

Can anybody in here explain to me the logic of taking a flu shot designed to combat a flu strain that hasn’t happened yet? Until anybody can tell me how *they* can know which flu strain is going to appear 6 months from now, I ain’t getting a vaccine for it. I have never gotten a flu vaccine, for this reason - and I haven’t had the flu since the 11th grade.
I don't think they can. The strain they select is probably an educated guess, but how many times have you heard, "we didn't target the correct strain, but the flu shot will still help prevent severe illness, hospitalization, or death?" It's the same messaging they used for the covid shots. I used to get an annual flu shot many years ago (provided free by my employer), but I had 2 years in a row where I was so sick. One year, I was sick from Jan-Jun and couldn't hold my new grandson until he was 3 months old. I stopped getting the shots after that and other than a minor cold here or there, I've never come close to being that sick since (my grandson is now 21!).
Another approach is good handwashing, daily exercise outdoors, avoid crowds when possible (then good handwashing :->), eat well ie fresh fruits and vegetables, eight hours of sleep (without screens), eight glasses of water... You still might get a cold or flu, but you'll be happier.
snoot spray before going in public or mix iodine with some saline and swab the nasal cavity.
Yep, I do all of those. I'm also retired now so my stress level has been drastically reduced.
Huh? “Without screens”.? What does that mean ? Mosquitos are rampant in some areas.
Bwahaha. I live in MN so I do know skeeters. But I meant electronics, tv, computer, phones, etc.
Oh my that is too funny. You meant those kind of screens. Ha ..silly me.
you are right, they can't.
The only times I got the flu were the two times I got the flu shot. That was in 2007 and 2008. Never got it again and informed my decision to not get the COVID shot or any shot really.
Just another of the many angles of the depopulation campaign.
I also had the Hong Kong flu in 10th or 11th grade. Fainted in health class watching a movie on burns 🥵 😂
Watched the Swine flu debacle a few years later and decided then to take no more vaxes. Had the flu 2 more times, and yes horrible but still no flu shots.
Wait, I did fall for the tetanus bs. I had horses and ‘they’ instilled max fear.
bottom line, they aren't. glad you are not getting it. me neither.
What's a strain?
That’s when the information is too much for you to handle - it’s called brain strain.
Virus " strains" used to create fear. Viruses non existent.
Hey Jeff, can you talk about the legality of gerrymandering to completely eliminate the votes of one party? For example, in the entire region of New England I believe they only have one Republican representative in congress. Virginia’s recent vote is another example. How is that not disenfranchisement in a representative republic?
I am from Connecticut, from the district that actually HAD a Republican Congressman - and a black man to boot! What happened? The REPUBLICANS in charge at the time, redistricted away this district and combined us w heavily Dem districts!!!! (I have NOTHING in common w the residents of Waterbury) Why - because as usual, the Republicans are just Democrats w nicer suits!
Agreed. Here in N Florida the repubs squelched independent candidates for the entrenched goodolboys in the primaries.
Hi Hi Neighbor, I am in the northwest corner of Connecticut. Couldn't agree more.
I am a military wife and from all I know the men would prefer to make up their own minds about taking a flu shot or the COVID vaccine. Most may say no. So good take on this!
Yes, and I hope they stop some of those other shots too. Jeff, my understanding is there are actually very few countries that require vaccines as a condition of entry (except maybe those already dominated by WHO, USAID and Bill Gates, i.e. in Africa).
Btw Regarding the flu, anecdotal evidence is that as soon as the guys get their flu shot, half of the troop gets really sick.
There was a mumps outbreak on a submarine a few years ago. Every sailor had been vaccinated against the mumps, but the shot did not work.
Mrs. RW
Healthy young fit men and women DO NOT NEED all these fricking vaxxes ! Period !!
I remember telling a young co-worker in the military that smallpox was declared eradicated on planet Earth back in 1980, so there was no reason for him to have to take a smallpox shot.
He was not pleased with the military.

Fairfax County waiting until they know how many votes they need to overcome the deficit? I'm shocked, absolutely shocked 🙄
Nothing to see here. Just move along.

I’m no Florida lawyer, but nearly 50 years in business has put me in a few depositions—comes with the territory. Raised Southern Baptist and practicing Nichiren Buddhism for almost 50 years, I still honor Christian teachings and often marvel at where the two meet when superstition is stripped away.
The Ten Commandments helped shape some of the earliest written law, yet their significance is brushed aside today amid rising Christian-phobia. Meanwhile, Islamophobia is condemned—yet extremist clerics calling for violence and intifada against non-believers are too often ignored.
That double standard isn’t tolerance—it’s hypocrisy.
I rely on the resurrection of Christ because the historical and manuscript evidence for that event dates to within a decade of it and is supported by extra biblical sources, unlike the manuscript evidence of the Buddha, which dates to hundreds of years after his death, at best. It’s hard to know for sure who the Buddha was or what he taught when the earliest manuscripts were written 400-500 years after he died. Relying on oral transmission of his teachings is like playing the telephone game (aka Chinese Whispers). I doubt the final written texts are that close to what the Buddha actually taught. The same can be said for the Talmud, which Jesus constantly battled the Pharisees and scribes over.
But even more important is the purpose of the appearance of the Messiah. Most people don’t consider that his resurrection preserves the Image of God as transmitted through Adam. We’ve all been taught that being a child of God is simply a spiritual relationship. But it’s much more than that. It’s genetic. His Image is found in the genome of those who descend from Adam. And the genome God gave Adam likely came from Christ himself. The Apostle Paul wrote in Colossians 1:15 that Christ is “the firstborn over all creation.” He existed before the cosmos. Before the angels. Before everything but the Creator Himself. This is why John 1 tells us that “He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.”
So, our life on Earth is encapsulated in the battle between the children of God and the children of the Devil (Genesis 3:15). Faith in Jesus isn’t based on manmade philosophy. It is based on the literal bloodline of the Messiah and the light He brings to His children. And his Resurrection is the key. Here’s an enlightening video you might enjoy by probably the world’s foremost scholar who specializes in the indisputable facts of the Resurrection of Christ, if you are so inclined: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6IydwWDaGXM. Peace.
Clearly you have studied Christianity, but only speculate on Buddhist teachings. Nichiren is a different Buddha. His writings come out of the translation of the Lotus Sutra which was smuggled out of Tibet into China in or around the 11th century where is was translated by Tien Tai. The 5th Buddha, Nichiren in Japan then became enlightened to the 3 great secret laws, which inspired him to inscribe in Sumie the mandala or Gohonzon in or around 1295 CE. All of his writings and teachings are, therefore, first source letters to his various followers. Those have been compiled into the Gosho (book).
If you haven’t yet read “THE IMMORTALITY KEY THE SECRETHISTORY OF THE RELIGION WITH NO NAME” by BRIAN C. MURARESKU available from Amazon, I would urge you to do so soonest. It will dramatically enhance your understanding of the people of the period surrounding the birth of Christianity. It will likely also make you go “No Shit!” Often.
Oh, my apologies. I assumed that the teachings of a Buddhist priest were based on the teachings of the original, long dead Buddha. My bad. 😊
Well, your assumption is correct, sorta- the Lotus Sutra the original Buddha’s called his highest teaching(84000). Nichiren is the Daishonin of the Latter Day of the Law: Nam Myoho Renge Kyo. You can Google that. Simply put it is the great secret law of the simultaneity of cause and effect.
I did not know that about the original Buddha.
One think everyone should know about Islam is that the prophet Mohammed's sayings and the Koran were not written down for well over 100 years after his death. Given the warlike nature of early adherents, it's entirely possible that passages were added or changed to allow for things like "terrorizing" the enemy, or raping women captives.
Robert Spencer (of Jihadwatch.org) wrote a book called "Did Mohammed exist" that is very interesting. He maintains that it's possible that Islam originated without a founding prophet, as there are no references to Mohammed in the earliest mentions of Islam. There's a lot of other things in the book too, of course.
Thoughts on this?? :

I don’t dabble in bigoted sophistry of any kind.
What, specifically, does that JEWISH guy say that you think is "bigoted sophistry"?
His comments are based on the jewish talmud.

Thanks for the caveat, I prefer the risk.
The removal of cursive writing from teaching in schools is just part of an overall plan to dumb us down. Other things are named at the end of the article, but there are others missed, like the scientific method I remember so well in class. Life skills for boys and girls are another. Even gyms have been turned into lunchrooms.
https://sunnysjournal.com/2026/04/22/the-removal-of-cursive-writing-from-schools-siriusb/
This is why all my young friends homeschool their children.
They have no choice if they don't want to raise ignorant communists, or get them jabbed
It certainly is. After the 40-year-olds, the upcoming generation will not know how to read it write it or understand it.
Which means they won’t be able to read the ORIGINAL Constitution and Declaration of Independence. All by design
The same with Civics, they don't teach, so they will grow up not knowing how Government is supposed to work
One could say that about Shakespeare....written in an English no longer understood.
easier to control by the elites.
My friends and I called it “parent code” because we could leave cursive notes for our husbands and our teenagers couldn’t read them. Funny, not funny.
Better than Pig Latin 😁
Never thought of that. Remember someone pulling out a rotary phone and asking some tens to pretend to call this number. Nobody knew how
Any kid who can't figure that out needs an IQ test...I have heard it in a antiques store once...If I had been her parent, I would have made her figure it out....mentally lazy....
Cursive writing is great for left-right brain integration.
Well...not having read your link, I can tell you that the excuse at the time for not teaching cursive was that computers were going to replace the need for handwriting...8 hour school days...not enough time for keyboarding as well as handwriting.
Many schools now teach printed letters, particularly lower case letters, with a little "tail" on each letter which allows the person to link letters into cursive.
Eliminating cursive was an effect, not the cause, of dumbing down. Too many inexperienced people making decisions on education...
Yea and now they think AI will solve all those problems and more, but what happens when those leading the AI revolution are no longer here and the only ones left can’t do anything without AI but they’re too ignorant to continue moving it forward?
Like Jeff’s story a month or so back about AI replacing paralegals and recent law graduates. The problem is recent law graduates do the grunt work to build knowledge. You can’t have 20 year experienced lawyers if you don’t start with recent grads. Same is true of any profession. I’m not going to hire a 1 yr plumber to replace all my plumbing. When we built our house, the new guys did the drywall and painting in the garage as training, not in the house.
Even now, I’m in high demand as a SW engineer because the young guns don’t know how to do what I do but I know because I’ve been doing it 20 years without AI. Them with AI can’t do what I do.
Well...that's exactly my feeling about people who use their expensive hand held computer as a......phone. They are mentally lazy, primarily. I actually had a younger person say to me that she was amazed at what I did on my phone. She is unaware that the browser on my phone is the same as the browser on my laptop. If I can't do something on an app because the designer limited it (such as with B&N), I can go into the browser and do it. Only by your own research do you learn anything. But you must have a voracious curiosity. Far too many people are mentally lazy. But only with experience can you develop the gut instinct to know when something rings true. You don't have to know what is bothering you about a response but just that something.
AI is a tool...just like phones and computers are....not the be all and end all. That concept will be lost for a time until the novelty wears off and its shortfalls manifest themselves.
I only use a computer to do documents. I do everything else on my phone now.
Basically, me too.
Naomi Wolf had a good Substack post in a similar vein a few days ago. She discussed access to historical primary sources (as well as the ability to read them) and increasingly restricted access to physical books. I thought she made some interesting points.

The feeling was that online would do away with paper books. As it turns out, humans are very strange animal....just like other animals...need the connection of touch....studies have been done showing that paper touched by others emanates that someone has touched it before. Studies are also showing that competition judges are much kinder using paper than using tablets. I am always amazed at the number of people buying paper books....I personally use both, depending on subject matter. Novels are eBooks. Serious subject which might be banned are hardbound.
Yes I agree with your points. What she was saying was that students are no longer allowed to wander among the stacks of books in the library at certain universities. So they won’t happen upon a book they might not have been looking for specifically. They can only specifically request a book and use the digital search tools. There seems to be some gate keeping going on as far as that goes. And access to primary sources such as handwritten letters or inventory lists) has been limited too.
Ok....I read Naomi's article....Disclaimer: Not a fan....She has her points but she, like many others, confuse cause and effect.
I have stated many times in comments on different Substack articles about my disdain for mental laziness....People ask a question, making others be their research assistants, rather than doing their own research. Everyone can get to a library, if they want real books, or they can use their handheld computer to do research, keeping in mind that you get the answer to the question which is asked, so wording is important. But, like multiple choice math questions, one needs to have a sense about whether the answer rings true or not. Mentally lazy people go with the first response and call it a day.
Re starting in kindergarten with creating compliance: Well, that's one way to keep order with 20+ little kids...and it teaches them self-control. My experience with sailors was that the brightest were the most difficult. They have to be channeled but that takes time and energy that most people do not have. I have known and currently know kids schooled by Montessori....not impressed.
Re her mother: My mother refused to answer questions from me. She made me find out for myself. Her position was that I would never remember if she told me but would if I researched the answer for myself....the days of hauling down to the library...way before computers were even thought of.
Re hard bound books vs digital: You have to look at the publishing date of that particular edition and, if it is a translation, the background of the translator...the latter of which is subjective and not easy. The closer to the actual initial publication, the better.
Some people are simply not curious....period....those who are, find ways to get answers to their questions. I found her posting about the moon just incredible. That was the best compilation of words which she could come up with?
Re myself: I have been described as having an insatiable curiosity with a mind which is always thinking. What I feel that I have that Naomi does not have is....more years...why she cannot see cause and effect and makes quotes from other people without knowing whether the quote is credible or not....again: is it cause or effect?...
Yeah I have mixed feelings about her but sometimes do enjoy her posts. I think my main takeaway from this one, was (as I mentioned), more about the seemingly deliberate effort to limit access to books and primary sources. Either because people can’t read cursive or because they are not allowed to freely access the books and sources. Her point about students actually not being allowed to visit their university library and wander around the stacks but having to request specific works was troubling to me. I agree with her that wandering around a good library and just browsing the books can open up works you might never have thought of asking for.
“Seemingly” is the key word in your response. After many decades of conflict resolution and, having raised two boys, one thing I know it that things aren’t always as they seem. She may be correct on the reason why the library does not allow students to wander around what may be valuable books but did she ever ask why? I didn’t see that.
I continue with the theory if low trust. College students are currently in a low trust box.
Maybe because we are now becoming a low-trust nation...
Yes but I also think there is a purposeful attempt to limit access to information.
I am happy about it. When the takedown begins, it will be our morse code!
Thanks for the link. Some very interesting material here.
So ... were Dominion and Runbeck hired to manage the Virginia redistricting vote?
You are forgetting to add in the US Postoffice who delivered the last minute votes. It's the last arm of the trifecta.
You really believe these ballots actually exist?
All of the late "mails ins" were YES to redistricting- every one of the 35,000. Not suspicious at all!!
Gotta agree, they could say anything. They don’t need the physical ballots, unless caught. Maybe that judge ought to take it one step further, and sequester all the ballots now,like right now. Let’s have a look at them.
They were quite likely sitting the election offices, filled out with everything except the names of the voters on the envelopes. They needed to see who hadn't voted yet.
VA Dems Just needed a pandemic and a sympathetic judge to justify all the rules bending required for their Amendment to save democracy from Trump and non-Dem voters. Undoubtedly this was the Freest, Fairest April election ever undertaken in the Tidewater State since they brung in slaves and defeated Powhatan. Only a Fascist Judge would rage-oppose these stellar results and the clear will of the People!
seems to fit their pattern as they love love love gender bending as well.
My grandson was considering joining the military. I told him, don’t do it unless you want to be forced to take vaccines you don’t want to take. He decided against it. Some of us really do cherish the right to choose our medical treatment.
They get a lot more than just the flu shot, too, although getting rid of the mandate for that one is a step in the right direction. Have you ever heard about the Navy ship that had an outbreak of mumps even though the entire crew had been recently vaccinated and they had been at sea for longer than the supposed incubation period?
I am ex- US Army. I was exclusively stationed at Fort McClellan, AL. We had a Chemical warfare facility there.
While serving I developed massive migraines.
I was also gifted with Systematic Lupus Erythematous.
We lined up for shots frequently never knowing what their purpose was.
Do I believe that Fort McClellan had something hand in this. Absolutely. I was never sick prior to my service.
Wright Patterson AFB is frightening as well. Some shit going on there too.
They give you every vaXX available whether you had them as a child or not. And many at a time. It’s a wonder any of us survived. We had a girl who did not come back after. They would not tell us if she was OK or not.
I just mentioned that mumps case upthread, Tonya.
Also the smallpox vaccine, although smallpox was eradicated by 1980.
Mrs. RW
This is typical I understand.
Be sure to tell him the many other reasons not to join!
Such as...?
Sick
Too bad you didn't also tell him it is nevertheless a good thing to serve your country.
and look what is happening now and bet they will force this on our military too.
Clinical trial of H5N1 vaccine underway
A Phase 2 trial of Moderna's messenger RNA-based H5N1 avian influenza vaccine has begun in the UK. Researchers aim to recruit around 3,000 volunteers in the UK and 1,000 in the US, including poultry workers and older people. The Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations is partially funding the trial after the US cut off funding.

So we still have a rigged voting system with late night dumps. That’s disconcerting.
Of course we do. That's why we need the SAVE America Act.
They do it right to your face too! So brazen!
It’s how Spanberger got elected too. And their AG even though he wanted to murder his opponents kids. Getting elected after that is arrogant cheating.
The recent Democrat wins they boast about is NOT a reflection of discontent with Trump and his administration like they want you to believe.
