Kamala economic plan lands with thud and ... media attacks? Headline editors struggle for words on Sun; secret Ukraine peace plan collapse; Hamas peace deal collapse; advice for Brit protestors; more.
Every "quiet protest" technique Jeff recommends for England ALSO CAN WORK IN THE USA. Especially those involving paying with cash instead of credit, and snarling traffic in major urban areas ... what fun Americans could have snarling traffic around Chicago's United Center and McCormack Place next week!
my friend suggested this during CoVid Scam shutdown....overload the stores with curbside pickups, give these rule-maker fakers MORE than they demand and make it unmanageable for them...they can stew in their own poison vat of control
But how does this do anything other than waste food? They throw all of that food away- unless you grabbed non perishables. But I still don't understand the point.
I was not about to self-check a full cart at 9 pm, they were cutting back on check out cashiers and so..i had to ditch the cart. I wasted my time, they did not sell $250 worth of items, and they got to pay someone to re-stock items.
It was lose-lose due to Kroger not staffing for shoppers after 9 pm. The only point i am making is that an intentional push by a group of fed-up persons can have a real and desirable impact when wanted, ...just as Jeff is discussing in relation to Govt. Bureaucracies in Britain... the nutty aisle arrows and store policies during CoVid were as ridiculous as the store allowing a host of non-community persons to invade our store from 2 hours away to buy up all the meat and toilet paper they could just as the advised Lockdown went into place.
Putting up with and merely griping about nonsense IS compliance.
I seem to recall a number of individuals shopping at Bed Bath and Beyond (before they went under) and suddenly needing to leave the store and their packed cart right near the front as they exited the store. ;)
I went up with a full cart and then said “lastly I want to buy 4 My Pillows” when the girl said indignantly “we don’t carry those anymore”. I said “How unfortunate “ and left.
unfortunately the road side pick-up was already a disaster. I heard several people complain about missing items, so they could not prepare their food, wrong items, long waiting times, some almost an hour (with temp over 90 degrees so running cars)
Call and ask for their email. Forget to write it down and call again.
Just schedule a few minutes of annoyance every day. Call to see what legislation they’re working on (written by lobbyists). Call to see if they’re having a nice day. Call to say you’re praying for them.
What about we call every single Democrats office… repeatedly? Foul up THEIR phone lines? Ask them to explain the price controls… Platform… Etc. etc. etc. Tell them you think Hillary is prettier than cackle… 🤮 Whatever comes to mind… 😈
If we'd overloaded it all by feigning our science-based FEARS then it would've ended in one week. Use FBI incitement and infiltration tactics to leverage a situation. Become ONE with those in charge of our demise and subvert them. Hitler's Abwehr did this in May-June 1944 purposefully allowing Adolf and Crew to think the REAL invasion army with Patton was yet to be unleashed on Calais. Suspicion that Japanese Empire had same issues; fact that Stalin knew they wouldn't be invading with his Japanese Commie spies in 1941, and perhaps someone purposely allowed their codes to be intercepted by US Military in 1942 as well.
I worked for a couple of years shopping for customers at a Kroger store, and I can tell you that they cut customers off from ordering during the day because they only have so many staff. So while I agree with you, it won't have the impact because the store controls the number of orders per hour.
so if every week one picks a day to order one item every 20 minutes while another 90 people do the same that would get us cut off from service? Shoppers of Color could then take Kroger to court for various violations, i still think the car blockade and chaos in front of the store would have been enough to make them cave after a week. Chick-Fil-A had it working out but no way in heck could Kroger have with pharmacy and briquets, and booze, etc. I'm sure they have a protocol for Operation Catastrophe but then the whole thing shuts down and Law Enforcement or National Guard has to step in to manage it.
we couldn't go to restaurants so carbon emitting barbeques were encouraged...not that there was an abundance of meat on shelves what with the immigrant meat-packers dying and sick with CoVid, also booze...well you know our collective livers were victims of the lockdowner fallout as well.
I think the point was to overload GOVERNMENT offices. Bureaucrats hate to actually work; make them. Picking on small businesses who are already struggling to deal with government regs isn't the point.
Certainly that's the current suggested call to push back on the tyranny, but when Kroger and other large compliant corporations are excused and contribute to the problem (as in from shut-downs in 2020) why not expand the scope to gain greater influence? Businesses can do what they want (unless they refuse to bake a Fake Wedding Cake, etc) the Left knows how to silence, neutralize, or even intimidate large and small business if they care to.
"inadvertently"? My two big left feet, inadvertently.
Juff is at la as cunning as a pack of smart foxes. I know his for a fact.. to start with Fact Number One, he IS a lawyer. this sort of thinking is innate to the breed. Glad HE is on OUR side.
Yes! Keep the cash flowing. Pay for groceries in cash. You can pay your electric bill with customer service at most grocery stores with cash. You can use cash to buy gas cards to use conveniently at the pump, or just pay in cash. This is more of a tactic to avoid CBDC and also avoid some of your data being shared by credit card companies. Ed Dowd tries to use cash for everything. He says he wants to be a black hole of data!
If you use Brave Browser, you can disable Javascript and make exceptions only for sites you like.
That will cut out a tremendous amount of advertising, popups, etc, as well as protecting you from Google and Facebook spyware, which is usually Javascript.
I was using Little Snitch on the Mac to block all Google and Facebook domains, but since I was forced to upgrade my OS to keep Brave browser working with Substack, Little Snitch demanded $50 to upgrade along and I refused.
But I found something pretty much as good: disable javascript for all sites except those you trust or really need:
Brave -> preferences -> Privacy and Security -> Site and Shields Settings -> JavaScript -> Don't allow sites to use JavaScript
It is a bit annoying to have to turn on javascript for sites you need that fail without it, but after a while the changes settle down as you accumulate permission for sites you need and you generally don't need to worry about it.
Yes! Another idea to go with Jeff’s. Hit the banks with ‘teller’ line-ups like the old days. Do your banking AT the bank and while there, get a three day supply of cash, the return on day four for another supply of cash. They will be hiring thousands of tellers, maybe even WHITE MALES! And we will be using CASH.
Keep Cash Alive started the campaign long before Ed got involved. Use their notes to give to cashiers along with the cash for added fun. I would tell cashiers of small businesses to give it to their owner. https://www.keepcashalive.com/
I’ve been handing out little flyers from that website when I pay cash. It’s amazing how many working class cashiers and wait staff totally get it!
An easy sell is to say- “without cash, how would I pay if the power was down? And how could I do a garage sale without cash?” I always end by saying “cash is freedom”.
Probably the big arena shows. But we go to lots of small and mid sized venues for shows where you can still buy actual tickets with cash at the box office. We are going to Rocklahoma on Labor Day weekend and of course didn't drive to the box office for that but they mail you a wrist band with an RFID chip that you scan to get in and out of the gates. But we are boycotting any Ticketmaster shows that do not allow you to buy at the ticket window. We've gone to TSO every Christmas season since 2005 (except 2020). In 2023 the box office said they could not sell us a ticket. You can only buy through the app. And pay their RIDICULOUS fees. $38 on a $69 ticket. We were standing outside the door the day of the show so we caved and did it but never again. Wrote my 2 Senators and Congressman and they all actually did respond. Supposedly there is some legislation out there but not holding my breath.
I use cash as often as possible, but usually use my debit card for gas because it's easier to track my gas expenses. I never even thought about purchasing gas cards with cash! Thanks, Kathy, for the great idea!
How does using cash (vs. credit) help avoid CBDCs? Won't "they" simply instate the CBDC without any thought or consideration of how people are currently paying for things? If they're pulling all the strings, they can force retail establishments to no longer accept cash and seemingly have many other upper hands to utilize. Cash does keep big prying eyes off our purchasing habits, though.
Dear Trump 2024 Campaign, please counter Border-Chief KowMala-Burn it down Walz 2024 with the following:
1). A Federal Law Regulating (eliminating) State and Local Taxation on Food and other Consumable Basic items that burden low and fixed income persons
2). Institute a TAX Free Savings Program for Down Payments on for first time home buyers, also a tax credit for the purchase, perhaps a matching stipend of sorts as well 3). Make Balanced Budget Amendment real and effective to STOP the Wild Spending on nonsense, corporate welfare, and ever-expanding entitlements that Causes Inflation-- tied to Corruption and Mal-administration as Crimes to prosecute legislators and bureaucrats who game the system. LOCK THEM UP.
DEFEND Business, Corporations, and workers.
COMMIE-MALA and Prison-State Walz need to be bitc-Slapped for their hateful Statist Policy proposals and failures and their pitting of Corporate America against the voters ahead of the election. Tamp down (t)he(i)r donations which are based on FEAR, hate, and control; and increase your own based on Fairness, Peace, and Prosperity for ALL. They truly are calling for a bloodbath on corporations (owners and boards) that aren't compliant and supportive of them and their fascist policies.
So, the solution for inane, insane more Big Government ... is more inane, insane Big Government but in the opposite direction. And just substitute 'Fairness, Peace, and Prosperity for All' in revere gear ... and all engineered by the same Big Government which is killing us in the first place?
Another very important book that will give you deep background on bioweapons and their longtime development is “Lab 257 - The Disturbing Story of the Government’s Secret Plum Island Germ Laboratory,” by Michael Christopher Carroll. Coincidentally (!) right across the Sound from Old Lyme, Connecticut.
Thanks for this. And the quote is exactly right ... even brilliant and with an exacting economy of words. And so early, 1952 ... which informs of an awareness even back then. And at the time that this little gem spilled out of the mouth of Brigadier Creasy, I was only three years old.
Jane ... we iz in one hell of a pickle! (And thanks for writing. Because people like you help keep me sane.)
I do recommend the book I got that quote from - “The US and Biological Warfare - Secrets from the Early Cold War and Korea, “ by Endicott and Hagerman. (Both gone now, sadly.) Things are so much worse now. Jeffrey Kaye, on Substack, is still digging up documents from that era.
Disrupt them, seduce Big Money away from the Fascist-Commie Threats and Fast Vast Profiteering Promises of the Left. Discard the careerists out of the swamp agencies with Project 2025. Perhaps we fear a return to the Old White M.I.C System of Coldwar-AntiTerrorism NeoCon Vietnam-Iraq fame, i get it, but this may be our last real chance to try to thwart the commie consumption of most of the nation by the Feds. Countering their Centrist Top-Down Leftist Populism Lunacy with a few basic tax reductions and credits to incentivize Private Industry etc is NOT adding to insane Big Govt. Our New Deal what do i get for free society eats this crap up and demands more, so why not eat the cancer of taxes and division in this way? Trump is a master of dealmaking and should unite us even as KowMala builds Walz to divide us
Question. When u turn off the TV & work in ur community is the power-that-shouldn't-be effecting ur peace? Make a decree to God but don't give any loosh to the perpetrators of chaos, it just adds to their power. We get stronger, as the cabal gets weaker, that's how it works.
if ALL we could manage to enforce were a return to a work to rule" policy on everything included in the US Constitution, we'd make a century of progress in a week. Take out YOUR copy of the US Constitution and READ it. Now, consider each present FedGov agency. Find its basis in the document you just read. in 99.999 percent of all cases, you can't.
Yes, it’s being reported that over 30,000 Antifa have already hit Chicago with about 800 more coming in per day. Crazy I thought Antifa liked the Dems 🤷🏻♀️
yes, we center-rightists ALLOW them to squabble and feud over the Zionism versus Caliphate extremist insanity...they lip-service "peace" but foment WAR theft death and destruction by their extremist hatred and violent tendencies.
The trump train is the day BEFORE the DNC starts. Mid-week during the DNC, people with real jobs will be working. And avoiding Chicago like the plague it is.
Not a victim of MAGA from what I read in deeper analysis by a ballistics expert. Video visibly captured the bullet from the CS to the rooftop shooter. And it was before the first shot was heard—the one that nipped Trump’s ear. Think on that for a bit!
It seems that “Antifa” - all masked with no identities - are some kind of government Psyop - a very dangerous and destructive Psyop.😖 The “People” can be blamed. Seems like whoever our overlords want to blame can be blamed... Then the sweeps to lock up the dangerous suspects...
I’m sure everyone on this thread is aware that in the UK they’re locking people up for “dangerous” Facebook posts.
We already are there. Some J6ers were not at the Capitol that day and were just convicted by what they posted. There are others, whistleblowers, who were convicted with FBI planted evidence(pedophilia) on their computer. There have been doctors prosecuted for posting OTC treatments for covid costing them $500,000+ in legal fees and yeats in court. There was a man prosecuted, bank accounts frozen, etc. to prove fraud in a case that would clear Amazon of being held to a contract. The man was eventually cleared, but not before their family was upended for 2-3 years. Unless you know this is already happening, those who are "awake" are really just in twilight.
We are next. And they are already committing mass war crimes against us ... including the millions in C19 murders and maimings. And 'they' mean to exterminate us in every way possible. The ruling oligarchy is already waging total unrestricted warfare against us.
I wonder, are these Antifa people the immigrants - “young men of fighting age” - they have been letting into the US and paying/putting up in luxury hotels?
I hope they all have proper housing, transportation, and services for their stay in Chicagoland. Truckloads of bricks, fireworks, and frozen water bottles arriving daily as well?
hopefully 'twill with massive flare eruptions spewing to consume the inner planets with cleansing fire (Mercury and Venus Vaporized may bring earthlings to their knocking knees)
They say the Commie Chinese are doing that in our borders...cleansing those who may have fled for asylum. Let the Torie Redcoats give it a go. Keep powder dry and Fix Bayonets!
THAT breaks my heart. These people who survived so much hardship taken down by a passel of beastly politicians. (I am talking wars on their shores, ww2 and all the other things)
ALL Republicans should stay away from that area next week. Don’t give them any bodies to arrest. That would be the best way to thwart any plans to stage another J6
Antifa will create some kurfluffle with police and a black person will get shot and they'll burn Chicago down so martial law goes in and only mail in ballots, no in person voting. The civil war begins Monday???? or not
This all helps with their money laundering and spy-control policy objectives too; ratchet down on Everyone because they allowed AntiFa to run wild-- we all need to understand their grievances AND increase funding for initiatives and outreach as well as militarizing police. This showcases how EVIL the White Capitalist System (republicans) is ..and how the mainstream Moderate Dems are our saviors to pacify the oppressed victims (AntiFa, BLM) as well as counter the Evil Religious Rightwinger White Supremacists of MAGA. Problems and solutions from the very same source!
Classic Saul Alinsky. Read his book. It exposes them for what they are, and knowing their methods helps defend against them and foil their rotten plans.
Antifa no doubt will burn the place down if they could 🔥🔥🔥 they took out police stations and not one Democrat bat an eye - especially Walz the Weird Minnesota Governor
They are paid actors. Funds from the NGOs and such that the likes of Soros supplies. They don’t work honest jobs. They are fundamental anarchists. No political ideology, just tear it up and start over.
Not going anywhere near the place or the near suburbs. I dont go down anymore anyway. Used to love the city but not any more. Been there, done that. That’s any big city now. The zoos just make me sad. I visit nature now.
Govt. purchased, licensed Newcomer Food carts and perhaps a Mobile Abortion Clinic should be in order as well. Watch out for killer Fentanyl-laced magic mushrooms! A Catcare facility for all the single white frustrated cat ladies with facial hair who want to bring their 6 or more felines along. Pizza Parlor with a nightly Dragshow. What else could they cook up for their attendees? Maybe a Crooks inspired gun range with a Cardboard cutout of their most reviled enemy.
My thoughts too! Just like I persistently became a thorn in the side of our Michigan Unemployment agency during Covid when they were fraudulently doling out funds for anyone and everyone to sit home and not work then charging company accounts incorrectly.
Only problem is these tactics take time and energy to combat government bureaucracy. But it may come down to this!
Colorainbow doled out millions of FEDERAL FUNDS in the Unemployment Claims Scams for their Leftist Friends 2020-22 any charges or changes??? Hell No, Gov. Jerry Polis skates through it all with ease like an Olympian in tights
I pay with cash anyway. and its particularly satisfying to get the product to the register at a place that says no cash, to say well that's what I've got take it or leave it. and I use 100 $ bills on the regular. once recently for a 4.50 purchase.
nancylee, the only problem with using large bills is that it may cause problems for retail businesses that may not be able to get to the bank for small bills, actually making using cash more of a problem for them. I speak from experience in retail.
For some small businesses like barber shops, cash is also a way for them to evade income tax if they choose to.
Income tax and sales tax are fundamentally wrong and evil. They penalize work and commerce, and they give government the ability to spy on private transactions.
The best tax is the Georgist tax on land values. It does not penalize land creation, because the land is already there. And it cannot be evaded, since land cannot be hidden.
Better to keep the small change and bills in the pocket and pay for the product without having to haggle over change. I use cash and coins. It takes a little extra effort and the "sacrifice" of convenience, but hey, what's it worth to us? Use cash.
Small bills also give you the freedom to pay and leave a restaurant earlier, by leaving the money on the table instead of waiting for the waiter to take your credit card and bring it back. So it's _more_ convenient to pay with cash in that way.
Never let them “take your credit card and bring it back”, you know why!? They bring the credit machine to me at the table if I don’t use cash. But you’re right, use cash!
All the local coffee shops won't take $50 bills or higher. Unless you buy almost that much in merch - but with the way things are going, a cup of Joe might cost that much soon. :/
Truly a most brilliant C&C today!!! You outdid yourself Jeff ❤️ Amusement and facts is like peanut butter and jelly with you.
Your plethora of quiet protesting was phenomenal. And hilarious. We needed these examples, and I love that you gave us so many. Some of us aren’t as creative thinking in political frameworks and need these nudges. This same kind of thinking COULD work here in America too. I hope you consider a “part 2” for your next article and give us good examples of how this can look in America. How can we quietly protest the censorship whale? I’d love for that to be somehow screwed up to the point the current administration and big corp rues the day they ever chose to silence others.
I was thinking today, as I walked past our nearby elementary school which has been under re-development throughout the summer, that I would come in when it's OPEN and REQUEST a tour. After all, these enhancements have been paid for with our property taxes, therefore I could argue I'm touring my contributions towards education...
We actually paid the highest property taxes than ever before this year, ridiculously high, and it’s one of the nicest subdivisions in our city. The parkway trees on our culdesac island haven’t been trimmed in years. The branches are literally hanging less than a foot from the ground abd street and others are resting on top of bushes beneath them, and the trees are clustered too close. Perfect environment for disease and insects. Six years ago that actually passed into our yard and we lost 1/3 of our landscaping because of it. So I called in April and let them know they had to get out soon and we didn’t want that to harm our yard, and I had to call two more times this summer, and the guy was so rude. Last time I called I complained that we pay way too high of taxes for them to not stay on top of these things abd place our yards at risk, and he literally told me “most of your taxes go to the school district, so don’t complain to me. We will get there before winter.” I’m being the squeaky wheel but this guy is a PIA. I’m going to go above his head next. But I’ve noticed a difference from 10 years ago, they don’t care about the taxpayers at all.
I suppose, since most of our property taxes are going to the schools, we must entrench ourselves into those school board meetings.... even though my children are in private school...
If there is a Trump inauguration I say we should all travel and created an arm-locked line around the entire event area and stand strong and unmovable. That would be something to behold.
Except that it may be construed as an insurrection of sorts and then the KGB, umm, I mean FBI, will track you all down to give you a nice vacation in jail.
This country is getting almost as scary as the Soviet Union and China..Communist lite.
It is the worst years of the Soviet Union and China by other means ... and largely by deception through lying language.
And I have wonder, how many millions have been killed by injections, Remdesivir, ventilators, lockdown suicides, CIA drug importation, Deep State/NeoCon wars, and on and on.
We should stop all funding for regime change, or naming other countries as enemies, we have the enemy and she is within, our country is just as bad, we need regime change here.
Trump should have his inauguration OUTSIDE of Washington. In one of the arenas where he regularly has rallies. In fact it should just be a giant rally, with simultaneous rallies showing it on huge screens everywhere around the country. AND he shouldn't say WHICH rally he'll really be attending, and come in on a helicopter at the last minute.
That would actually be so awesome; I would love it. He would love it. We would all love it - no?
Might actually watch some MSM then but of course they will lie about it. Selective reporting. Maybe not. I’ll have to depend on Jeff and other truth tellers. I’m close to chi town but an old lady may not fare well there next week. Haven’t been since before Covid. Lost its luster when the crazy mayor forbade me a bagel with a schmear at my favorite snack spot. F**k em.
It's impossible to forgive and forget the plandemic crimes without a sincere apology from those who participated, and their willingness to press for prosecutions of those who arranged it all, people like Pfauci.
My sister came up with this great idea: if we all paid $10.00 too much to the IRS, all at the same time, they would be backlogged for a year trying to process all those refunds. Well, with inflation, they might ignore $10. But they can’t ignore $25. They have to, at minimum, send you a notice of your overpayment.
Sources in England report that they see little evidence of actual rioting and that nowhere is it ever reported how many people are actually involved. It's possible that this is more agitprop designed to justify totalitarian government moves.
Don't think Thiel belongs with the rest, and most of the list are useful idiots. The real bad guys are the neo-colonialist bankers in Europe and England.
The only thing that will work is to stop paying them. Atlas needs to shrug and the people who actually do the work need to strike. I don’t know what that looks like or how we do it. Can everybody just walk off the job and refuse to pay for taxation without representation?
I've purposely lived below taxable income since vietnam. and I live very well. (no trust funds or inheritance) just a very creative approach to being paid for my time and skills.
My neighbors run a doggie day care and only accept "donations" There's a constant parade of dogs being dropped off and picked up at all times of the day/night.
They don't have a business license, don't pay taxes on their "donations" either. Some of the other neighbors have complained to the city, and I soon saw them using our local park to take/deliver doggies so neighbors woud see that! 🤣
The Critical and Essential Workers had their chance to do so in 2020--it would have forced the system back open and ended the tyranny, but who is going to organize and pull off that level of action?
That happened a lot between New Zealand and Australia. The coinage looked the same except different birds, animals, plants on the back, but always Elizabeth II on the front. I used to collect the Aussie coins for my trips over. It saved money on the exchange.
One key is that US cash says it's valid for all debts, so you need to incur a debt to be able to force the business to accept your cash.
If the business requires a credit card _before_ you order, then your only choice is not to use that business. But if they accept your order and then serve you, they MUST by law accept your cash.
Will the Dems be taking down the Blackhawks jerseys (the best-looking jerseys in pro sports) from the United Center rafters since they are obviously racist? The Cleveland Indians and Washington Redskins got scalped (haha) but the Blackhawks get a free pass?
Blackhawk is a real guy though...Like naming your team the Malcom Xers, or the Austin Austiners. Perhaps that's how they excuse make for this travesty of Manifest Destiny and Pioneer Expansionism and tribal displacement?
Problem is... the same can be done AGAINST the USA, like if TRUMP overcomes the planned massive election Fraud/Steal and wins...
All sorts of libturd and foreign groups, with their millions of low-IQ parasite followers and illegals... begin to block traffic EVERYWHERE (grow a pair, run them over)... destroy local power stations, send gangs in everywhere to plunder and damage retail stores, commit mass arson attacks, target Cops, sort of like the "Summer of Love" on steroids...
Perhaps TRUMP will quickly issue an EO that allows deputized (many thousands) citizens to fire on looters and arsonists. Announce a national curfew, from 9pm to 6am... violators to be gunned down...
I am hoping that he does go that far... i think we need a Hitler-like leader to clean out the MASSIVE corruption in government, media and society, the crooked influence of lobbyists, especially the jews, the slimy ACLU, SPLC, NAACP, BLM, Open Society, CAIR... the insane pandering to the LBGTQ lice and the parasite illegals... Rogue DAs, judges, prosecutors... The CIA is perhaps his biggest enemy...
Half-measures and "forgive and forget" will not get it done... not close. IMO, Hitler, Putin, Orban, Bukele... great leaders all. Trump can join them... maybe... his personnel selections have been pretty terrible... his support of Israel is misguided... maybe he has learned.
Jeff, thanks for speaking out about the Brits who are being immediately sentenced and imprisoned for protesting the invaders who are stabbing their children. More examples:
I grew up in London and like many natives I escaped. Don't waste your money on a trip to London - it's an absolute sewer now and so expensive. Even people from immigrant backgrounds are packing up and leaving.
If you appreciate 'ye oldey worldey' England then York in North Yorkshire is a good bet. Bath, Chichester and Lincoln are nice places - all three are Roman towns so lots of history. Places to avoid or spend a minimum of time in are the big cities, London being the worst. The other big cities would probably be fine for a short visit but London really is not a place I'd recommend at all now - I was a police officer there.
Isn’t it weird since it was announced a few months ago (can’t remember which elected official) that England only had 700 spaces left in the prisons and were going to have to let 40,000 inmates out early? You’d think with that level of crowding they would focus on imprisoning real criminals and not ‘ far right wing’ thought or meme crimes. But, sigh, I suffer from actually having critical, thinking skills so I’ll probably never understand.
Omg or ship them to America’s southern border - hmmm tho that would certainly give us extra Trump votes! We should all offer to take Britain’s meme prisoners! And counter Kamala’s evil immigration voting scheme
Shouldn't they be policing sermons and homilies for possible slurs and offences to The Prophet, Rainbowers, and Secularists? Likely not much of that going on but still, elevating some ancient wandering Jew above the STATE is in itself quite threatening
Let’s offer to take in their British meme/speech prisoners! We will register them to vote and it will offset Kamala’s immigration votes. We can put them up in motels across the nation and heck I’ll even offer up one of our guest rooms for a fine Brit like that. 🤣
The Labour government announced they would be releasing prisoners early - one example was a man who stabbed someone with a machete who they released after 6 months. They are also suspending prisoners sentences so they never actually go into prison.
the stabbed was not a member of the State i assume, perhaps an underling like a menial policeperson. One must balance the historically underserved and triggered stabber's victimization to the stabbee's position on the Societal Apartheid Chart
I never realized it, why all the AGs in the US are not prosecuting actually criminals or jailing them. They are making room for us peaceful protestors or memers or facebook or X posters.
It's a clear strategy, some people are afraid of prison and punishments, others aren't. The government is desperately trying to keep a lid on the issues that are liable to boil over at any moment which might even lead to civil war. Someone who goes around stabbing people doesn't fear the law. Someone who has something to lose might think twice about retweeting a meme. You placate one group by prosecuting the other.
PROOF that anti-Nationalism IS What the hijackers of Western Nations are pursuing and demanding, orchestrating-spurring mass migrations---foreign destabilization paired with "law" and policies to mass-traffic communities wholesale into the West in order to disrupt and remake everything on both sides of the ledger for the benefit of the Elitist Globalist Masters.
The judges apparently think they and their families will suffer no ill consequences from these immigrants. They must have been promised lovely spots in the NWO and are therefore willing to be traitors to their countrymen. Don’t they know what liars their masters are? The love of money and (power) is the root of all evil!
Watch Tommy Robinson videos on X. He really shows how muslim gangs are raping and killing children and those who protest it are locked up. The protestors are mostly protesting the illegal migrants from getting free housing in upscale British hotels while homeless are ignored. And these migrants living in the Brits hotels for free are the ones caught raping and killing Londoners but the ones who complain about the killing or tweet or post on facebook or protest are jailed.
Brutality Enabled by the State; NAZI Party perpetrated this upon Germans to control and contain opposition and weed out opponents in singles and dozens at a time...very effective process in early to late-stage tyranny
It seems an ongoing live public comprehensive chronological cataloging of each and every “offense” along with the “judicial” consequence could be illuminating.
Illuminating enough evidence to Wake up! A wakeapedia if you will…
The Kammie speech yesterday about how prices are still too high even after 4 years of her and Joe to an audience of 100 was crazy. She then rolls out communist ideas to solve her disastrous term? Pure gold idiocy. Who wrote that and thought it would play in this new ‘she is our savior movie’ we are witnessing? Hope the DNC gets real spicy this week.
A brilliant meme by a MAGA guru had clips of Commeela pointing out prices were 50% higher than before the pandemic and a tag ending of DJT saying "I approved this ad"
Coloradumbo Voters don't blame the Cultmaster Polis or his minions, they only blame the Rep. boogeymen and give more power and authority to those promising to fix things. Like your mugger bandaging your wounds and saying how well he cares for you after you hit your face on his fist and fell to the pavement. Inflation isn't their fault, so the fix is to spend more $$ they don't have with their friends, raise taxes and offer services to help. Cycle Repeat.
It was kind of hilarious…my husband and I just looked at each other and said, “Is this for real? Did she just out the Biden-Harris administration while trying not to out the Biden-Harris administration?” I can’t imagine ANYONE, not even the lowest information voters, fallin’ for that 🤦♀️.
This will smack them in their face..though I do feel sorry for anyone walking around with MRNa in their bodies. I can understand many of them choosing not to believe it was deadly, for the sake of their own sanity.
A MOVIE COMING TO THEATERS ABOUT THE HARMS OF THE COVID VACCINE TITLED
One of those just de-friended me on FaceBook yesterday. She's actually paid to be a science teacher, but what she's teaching isn't science....and I didn't mind saying so. Not referencing HER but referencing the lack of science in the entire C-19 narrative. Oh and the crowning glory was my edit of the AF2 photo with the sheep instead of people, and I Photoshopped it so the sheep have a reflection in the fuselage (to make it more real)! She really hated that one!
The Trump Derangement Syndrome is real. Unfortunately, all six of my adult children are voting for Kackler only because they refuse to even consider Trump getting back into the White House.
My grandmother would call that "cutting off your nose to spite your face." I just don't understand. Trump wasn't my first choice, either. But now he's the only choice.
My daughter, who holds a master’s degree and is definitely not an idiot, is also voting for her because she believes in the insurrection narrative, and because she believes Harris was sidelined by the Biden administration and because of misogyny (or something blah, blah, blah) she wasn’t allowed a say or listened to by Biden and his handlers. Apparently there are been podcasts touting such nonsense and she among others apparently believe that storyline. It pays to have most journalists and all of the Hollyweird spinmeisters on your side.
One of my daughters lives in Las Vegas and went to the "rally." Even after seeing the AI generated crowd she still stands firm that KH is the best defense against the hated capitalists and will solve all the world problems.
God gives the wicked over to their own wicked ways.
Don't blame yourself. The culture is pervasive and strong. Stronger than parents, stronger than religion.
Also young people have always wanted to think that they know better than their parents, generally, until they have families and jobs of their own.
Most (including me at that age) know very little about anything that matters when it comes to the direction of the country. The culture gives them reasons to vote blue. and there you have it.
Many have become so brainwashed, that they believe Trump will be a dystopian dictator ending all their precious abortions and transvestite children reading circus acts.
Because, you know, THAT is what is important to retain our democracy.
That is what the sick culture has devolved into.
Daily Mail highlighted a young woman today who boasted on social media that she slept with 21 men in one day. 😬
Bingo. Her claim to social media fame.
That is where we are at with that generation and why they love abortion and where their mindset for voting blue and voting Kamala comes from ("protecting women's reproductive freedom").
And most of them would have likely voted for Desantis. This was always the risk with Trump; there's too many people that can't get past Trump the person. They're willing to vote for a conservative, just not Trump.
Don’t be too sure they would have voted for DeSantis. The media would have done to him what they’ve done to Trump and if he’d stood against it the way Trump has, the media would have gotten more and more vicious. It’s all brainwashing. And it’s very effective.
Yes Romney and McCain were EVIL until they were opposed to Trump--Orwellian Media Establishment recreating narrative and reality in real time for us. KowMala Ms. Open Bordez and Wallz are moderates and mainstream. Bernie Sanderz is too as well. Even as they PURGE their party of the Anti-Israeli faction that got just a bit too vocal and bit the hand that feeds them.
It’s hard to combat TDS…almost impossible. But for those who just don’t know, there is hope…and I think many now know. Just ask the guy who’s voting for “Daddy” 😉. https://x.com/ImMeme0/status/1793822138903757197
maybe we should all put here things you could say to your adult children that might sway them. Do they remember their was no inflation and what gas pricces were when Trump was Pres? And no wars!
When I didn't want to vote Trump in 2016 and couldn't understand why my friends were voting for him, they suggested I read, the Art of the Deal or google You Tube videos of Trump pre 2015. I did that and now died in the wool Trump voter!
They are not thinking. They have picked a “sports” team to follow and will paint half their face blue and scream (vote) for the win! It is sooo ridiculous to not listen to both sides. But they don’t. And their best come back is “be nice”. To which I answer, “no”.
sadly I've been informed by several friends they are thrilled with her and would vote for anything to keep trump out. they are well and truly hypnotized.
That's another part of Bidens (rather his handlers) insurance strategy shooting her in the back. They made sure she was tied to all the policies and not just treated as an inconsequential figurehead. Also why they put her in charge of the border. The media tries their best to make it look like she had nothing to do with it but that doesn't work with a more hostile audience.
Re: "Hope the DNC gets real spicy this week!" Yes! Me too! Kinda hoping for elements of the chaotic 1968 convention in Chicago. Wouldn't it be loverly? Makes me want to write a song......
Price Gauging is likely a more elevated and precise economic term that is just a bit above our level. She was a prosecutor and intimately aware of such gauging in the industry. She worked under some powerful men and was intimate with any number of things we don't know about.
But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ, and manifests through us the aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place. For we are a fragrance of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing; to the one an aroma from death to death, to the other an aroma from life to life.
wait, you mean we don't have to burn flags, ransack businesses, destroy properties, and scream at the sky like petulant children in the name of 'progressivism'???
Speaking of scare tactics. One of our tax loving Democrat county legislators tweeted out yesterday, "Covid cases are rising fast - come by the health dept office and get your free 'covid kit' to keep your family safe" From the picture it looked like the kit comes with a brochure, covid tests, and masks. Are you kidding me? No ivermectin? No vitamin C and D?
The good news is, the comments are running 3 to 1 telling him to shut up and or quit wasting taxpayer dollars.
The residents of PA had to put up with Dr. "Rachel" Levine, when she was our Sec. of Health, telling us to prevent covid by washing our hands to the length of time it took to sing Happy Birthday.
My favorite was Wolf shutting down the "nonessential" pallet manufacturing company in Berks County which caused a shortage of Clorox bleach because the company was one of the main manufacturers/suppliers of shipping pallets for Clorox.
He also shut down Crayola (Easton based) as non essential. Don't want those kids forced to stay away from school to have anything creative or productive to do!
It would have been great to have all the truckers leave their piss jugs on the steps of the legislature in Harrisburg as a reminder to all those idiots about what happens when politicians do stupid things. By the way you un-ranked poor Rachel-she is now Admiral Levine! How dare you!
A friend in FL, posted a similar comment as the tweet. I have no idea why she's in a panic but for some reason she is. She mentioned, covid found in water testing? Doesn't surprise me. Corona viruses are everywhere.
They started testing & reporting on water samples around end of 2020. I think they must be ramping up the Covid reporting, primarily it seems to sell more paxlovid .
I had a couple ppl say, you probably already know about the water testing, but…
Now they are willing to exploit water testing, but not in the beginning of the panic to get a more accurate representation of viral exposure and prevalence.
Sadly, the low IQ people of this world DO THINK that corporations are price gouging and just raising prices to make more profit. So Kamala's price gouging idea may resonant with some people.
I will say again. It isn’t price gouging when every single store and business in the entire country is experiencing it. Do some do it to take advantage of the situation? YES!!!! Is every single place in the country all price gouging. NO. It’s called govermentonomics/bidenomics and the destruction of America from the inside out.
We need to keep slapping these libtards upside the head with the truth. Maybe one of the slaps will stick. (This is a non violent metaphor and I do not advocate actually using your hand to slap anyone. My lawyers wanted me to clarify this point).
Blaming and projecting blame is part of the dem playbook… if it’s the stores and businesses fault…. Why the ever increasing store and business closures?? Stores Closing In 2024
- Rue 21 closing all 540 remaining stores after filing for chapter 11 bankruptcy

If you are an Amazon Prime customer, it is probably your fault all these stores are closing. Do you go to stores and buy? or just look and touch and then go home and buy online from the cheapest source?
The destruction of retail is by design but to heal we have to look at how they got us to help bring about this destruction.
I would (and have) purchased from these stores in the past but recently I've discovered they do not have what I want or need. After going to 3 shops looking for an item all 3 used to carry, I gave up wasting time and gas and just ordered online.
True. Guilty. But my option would be Amazon or CVS for most of the items I buy. I find CVS just as evil. They deliberately put all family owned pharmacies across the country out of business in the 80s and 90s. I remember how they opened up every few blocks and how our town's pharmacies tried, but said they could not compete. So that pharmacy owner, which was previously able to sustain a family and home in the 50s and 60s, had two choices: retire or become a slave pharmacist for CVS at $18 an hour...not enough to continue feeding his family and paying his mortgage for sure!
In his 2014 book The Everything Store, Brad Stone chronicles how Amazon became an "innovative, disruptive, and often polarizing technology powerhouse." He writes that Amazon was among the first to realize the potential of the Internet and that the company "ended up forever changing the way we shop and read." Obviously Jeff Bezos Amazon and online retailers negatively impacted storefront retailers in much the same way as malls impacted mom and pop stores in the 60’s and afterwards forcing many out of business because they simply could not compete with the mall retailers purchasing power
Was good old Jeff a brilliant entrepreneur or an operative of the deep state? Another create a billion dollar business out of a garage or part of a deeper plan?
And Bezos owns the 2nd most liberal paper the Washington Post. Goes along with your point that the govt probably funded Amazon and also possibly funds the Washington Post to run the liberal narrative. and Dem campaign.
Though I can't say I'm shedding a tear for many of these (any of these?). Don't get me wrong, I'll be bitching as much as the next person when there is no local drugstore to buy earplugs at and I have to shove cottonballs in my ears to get sleep, lol, BUT...
Most of these brands were anathema to local, independently owned stores, as well as to human ingenuity (i.s figuring out how to do and make things because not every product or solution was so easy, cheap, available). This is like getting sad that Borders Bookstores closed. The damage was done long ago, and now the enslaved consumer is just...further inconvenienced...that even Big Daddy mega-corp is shutting its doors. Oh and we just HATE inconvenience.
Express is tied up with Epstein so...good riddance.
When I was growing up--there was no Party City; we bought decorations and supplies at local stationers' stores, a franchised Hallmark store, or a local, independent drug store. And I'm not talking the fifties, I'm talking 70s, 80s.
Dollar stores and Big Lots just offer mostly hella toxic, offgassing suprlus plastic garbage from China. But of course we need our plastic totes because there's no real nice furniture anymore to store our whatever in.
Expedia? Remember...booking your own vacations? Using the AAA road guide to find motels for that road trip? Just...winging it? Oh, but we want our rewards points, of course.
In this respect, I suppose I'm an accelerationist, which is a VERY BAD WORD that is on a lot of lists. These propped-up-by-inflated-stock stores/companies can't leave this earth soon enough, for my tastes. Not saying it will be comfortable or even survivable when they all go, which I have full faith they will, but honestly, they were parasites. As are their surviving 'competitors'. And every time we delegate to them, we lose.
Are we forgetting that Trump also shares part of the blame? He added $8 trillion to the debt in just 4 years. That weakened the dollar and contributed to inflation. I wish his supporters would have an honest discussion about this.
Oh yeah let’s discuss. You make the claim that he added 8 trillion to the debt, without mentioning ( convenient for a trump hater) that the value added to the economy from his policies was three times that. Prove me wrong.
How convenient to pretend that ballooning the debt has nothing to do with a weakened dollar or inflation. It does when it's team blue, but not when its team red. That's ridiculous and I'm sorry if you can't see it. Trump's economy wasn't amazing. Him saying so doesn't make it so.
Sure, and that would not have been necessary had he not locked down the country to "flatten" the curve, opening the door/normalizing it for governors to do all over the country. There was absolutely no reason to do that scientifically.
And not just low IQ people, sadly. I have a number of conservative friends who toss out
'price gouging' and 'greedy corporations' terms all the time. I try to remind them of all these 'fight for $15' protests and try to explain wage-price spiral, fuel cost increases and govt mandates. But that's complicated. Blaming 'corporations' is the easy button. And by the way these folks have IRAs and 401Ks too. Ya want profits in the tank, ok, good luck with retirement.
Oh I don't think they want price controls, it's just a random bitch session remark. And proof that the media propaganda does seep through even to those who say they resist it.
Or…they may be conservatives who don’t understand Econ 101. Soundbites are easily digested. A comprehensive understanding of economics and free markets? Not so much.
Granted, I am not one who understands economics that well.
However, I do bitch about something I have noticed.
Anyone wanting to open a small business knows that rents are beyond ridiculous. Most businesses are corporations which can pay the hideous amounts of rent, and I think, write it off if their monthly revenue doesn't cover it.
A small business owner cannot. They cannot survive if their revenue does not cover the rent and more. So they fail.
The fact that all these corporate businesses can pay the exorbitant rents, also drives up rental prices more.
I daresay everyone here that has a college degree was "educated" about economics using Paul Samuelson's introductory college textbooks on economics. His textbooks are pure Keynesian economics which teaches that the entire economic ecology of a society could be reduced to mathematical formulas by which the Gov't can control the economy. Try and make it make sense! When I took those courses, I knew they made no sense so I just regurgitated what I was taught to pass the tests. As soon as I graduated, I began to re-educate myself by reading the proponents of the Austrian school of economics. Night vs Day is an understatement.
Same here. Total agreement. Discovery of the Austrians was a big change. Best education is Rothbard's two volume history of economics. Now why don't they teach that in schools?
Regan imposed wage and price controls.....I think people have forgotten this. I'm not saying I adovcate for it...I don't know what the answer is. If we actually had capitalism that would be different, but we have a corporate state. I noticed the other day oil was under $80/barrel, but fuel still costs $3.35 where I live. That appears to be price gouging. Organic bell peppers in peak season are $9/lb. That also appears to be price gouging. I say "appears" because I don't know all the details to make an honest assessment. It is quite possible we have both inflation and some gouging going on.
Yes! I grow $1000 tomatoes and $500 peppers. 🤦🏼♀️ 😂 but at least I know I’m not ingesting the pesticides and chemicals. So is it worth the money? How much is peace of mind worth? 🤷♀️
I buy organic for that reason. Thank God for Trader Joe's prices. These green juice places that do not use organic produce make me sad. I feel like saying " enjoy drinking your pesticide cocktail".
I feel the same way about eating out unless it is something I know is not on the dirty dozen list like avocado.
An investigative reporter spent a month investigating claims of 'farm to table restaurants' and found that the claims are mostly fraudulent.
Sigh..life used to be so much simpler back in the day.
Yes! And for many, many years the textbook theoretical understanding of economics that says when one seller sets a price another comes along and sets it lower and so on until there is true competition and it hits the true price that is a win-win, eliminating gouging. But I have not seen this in real life - really ever. All I see are different sellers all stubbornly selling at the same ridiculously high price and never budging - not because that’s the true fair price, but because of some “we agree” type camaraderie between the major corporations. Usually the product goes out of production if it doesn’t sell higher rather than it dropping to a fair, reasonable, win-win price. I understand the theory and the logic behind competition, but I rarely see it in action. For some reason there is no real competition.
There are plenty of companies that do price gouge (i.e. a price falsely fixed at way over the true market value) and it almost always involves coordination between the government and big business. Pharma is the prime example, the market is completely rigged and these corporations are all too happy to engage in it. Pharma is the epitome of a "greedy corporation". Look at what we just went through with Pfizer and Moderna. Good grief, look at Purdue Pharma. This despicable corporation run by the grotesque Sackler family killed hundreds of thousands and destroyed large parts of rural America.
The free market is a great thing but very often we don't have a free market but crony capitalism. Stop idolizing these companies as they don't love the free market and welcome government interference if it benefits them. The solution is to do everything you can to make sure you never need these products though, not by trusting a corrupt medical industry but taking management of your own health.
Price controls are boob bait for Bubba that exacerbate the problem and don't fix anything. But please don't be under any illusion that these giant multinational companies are in any way not greedy.
People have started using the way off, patent off label treatment Mebendazole as an effective anti-cancer drug. When Merck found out, they raised the price of this old drug from dirt cheap to $550 per 100 mg pill. Not only did they want to take advantage of the demand, but they also wanted to discourage people from using the much more lucrative new chemotherapy drugs this is why many people are taking the animal version which is fenbendazole, the dog dewormer which can be cheaply purchased online. Supposedly you can get a compounding pharmacy in India to make you mebendazole for well under a dollar per pill.
When I got hookworm from the beach in jamaica (raised tracks criss-crossing the top of my foot) I found out about this drug. It is prescribed all the time by docs there. The doc here who was actually treating me had to get a textbook to find out what to do because nobody gets hookworm here, but in Jamaica it's all the time. I think mebendazole may even be over the counter there. How unfortunate if the people there who need it can't get it anymore because of the price.
Exactly, these types of stories are common in the medical industry.
What people don't seem to understand is that BOTH things can be true. Inflation can be caused by reckless government money printing AND giant corporations can use monopolistic practices to fix prices. It's not necessarily only one or the other. Medical care is specifically set up to treat people in the most expensive manner possible, with costs increasing exponentially year to year.
If we had a free market then price fixing wouldn't last as competitors would fill the void. But we don't as government regulation, licensing boards, and corporate cooperation are used to choke out competition. And these giant companies love the government interference as only they can afford to comply thus preventing competition. Plus there's so much money involved they have captured the regulatory agencies through outright bribery.
This is why "conservatives" are talking about corporate price gouging, we have not suddenly become secret leftists. But we recognize we don't have a free market, and these giant companies are not our friends. Many are run by bona fide sociopaths as Pfizer and Moderna have made perfectly clear.
Modern life: easy peasy. cars, refrigerators, supermarkets, fkn dishwashers, heating, air, toilets, lawnmowers ( or just hire someone ), and of course JUNK food . Result : 95% (my estimate) just could not resist . Given the choice between critically ACTING to put in the effort to maintain good eating habits, good lifestyle , and great ETHICS ....... or just succombing to the drug of ease . Laziness . What the hell !
IQ is only used now to make more money .... to support their habits . And no addict will ever admit to being hooked . That is why their eyes, the slave masses, glaze over and ears close when confronted with these facts . My "friends" have all acted accordingly .
Let me also add the take a pill for all that ails phenomenon . Maybe the biggest culprit in capturing the minds of the masses. Hello pill........ goodbye health.
This!! My older sister, a PhD (whatever) and govt employee (of course). A county psychologist on hire for when the police or sheriff run into ‘jumpers’ or other mental mal-contents. She goes along with them to ‘evaluate in the moment’ and potentially talk them down. Prior to covid she said, about some malady I cannot remember, “If I could just take a pill, if there was one, I would…” I should my head in disbelief. A “smart” woman like that…
There is price gauging going on today because we don't have true competitive markets. We are an oligarchy with a thousand different brands controlled and operated by a few corporations. In addition, government mandates, dictated by this oligarchy, makes it even worse because they no longer have to compete to sell you anything. You have to take it because the govt says so.
But it is true cost accounting that if you tax the corporation more then prices will rise accordingly.
Particularly people too young - or stupid - or both - to remember Nixon and his "price AND WAGE controls." And people sitting in line for hours at the gas pumps.
Corporations are a pass through of government price gouge (in the form of taxes) or other government regulation. They just flow down the oppression from government to the consumer, who is the end user. And let’s be honest—energy is the main cost that has fluctuated since Trump left office. Energy policy is the driving force of inflation. Biden/Harris green energy policies have absolutely fueled inflation. (Pun intended!)
Most states already have a “price gouging” policy. In states of emergency (by federal law we are in a state of emergency) price gouging is illegal. Price gouging is determined by availability and how much of an increase during a specific timeframe. The Democrats just wants to federalize that pre-existing policy.
No matter what was written on the teleprompter, if she thinks she's intelligent enough to be president, she should know it's "gouging" and not "gauging." She didn't catch her "North Korea is our ally" a few years ago during remarks while in the DMZ (and no one apparently corrected her). One would hope that things like that would sound wrong to her ear and she would check herself. I agree Juju, neither Kamala nor Biden can catch those things on the fly - or ever - because they really don't know what they're talking about. Sad - and scary!
Yeah it really is like they are children dressed up and pretending to be adults. Or simply actors who have no knowledge of what they are talking about, only what’s in their lines.
Or like how people with a narcissistic personality disorder or a bi-polar issue has an inflated sense of self? And they talk out their a**? Could be any or all of these things.
It’s disturbing that our country was in their hands for four years 🤦🏼♀️ American needs to grow up and snap out of it.
We can flee our Blue City gulags from Pittsburgh and Philadelphia and hide out in the northern mountain areas. I have considered joining an Amish community.
I keep trying to encourage ppl to find alternatives if they are on prescription meds. There is a misconception that withdrawal only applies to controlled substances. Diet is a helpful part of the process.
I guess it's not REALLY cheating if she kinda knows what's going on when you're at the office late and bombing Belgrade. Not an Open marriage exactly but a very understanding one anyway.
1973… gas lines… waiting… fretting you’d get to the pump before your car/truck ran out of gas… it’s the first time I reasoned the same solutions our witty illustrious Jeff Childers has today… I thought, if EVERYONE… every single person refused to buy gas just one preselected day, the gas wars would stop” …. A silent but screaming loud protest… but alas, a unanimous united front of all citizens joining in together…. I’ve sadly realized since is unrealistic dreaming… the divided and conquered chasm is far to wide…
The good news is, it doesn't take everyone, or even a majority. If even 15% stopped buying gas for three days, it would shock the system. Margins are tight. More importantly, stop buying stuff inside the store. No drinks, no snacks, no nothing. That's where they make the real money. If we did that for a week, they would feel the pain.
So Maureen, I was in college in a state far from my hometown when my mom was rushed to hospital. I had to drive home filling a gas can first to fill my car's tank all the way home. It was ok to fill a gas can on an "off" day, but not your car. Insanity.
This is all great stuff. I’m afraid we are way beyond this point. When it gets bad enough, like another stolen election, those of us capable will rise up. They can’t kill us all. And many more will die trying. And then we can clean the real mess out.
The problem is that no one will follow. Even conservatives are comfortable in their day to day, enough so not to disrupt their own life …. For jail…. For their country….
IMO, the Ukraine incursion into Russia was a bonehead move.
The Russians are blocking an exit.
The Ukrainians are surrounded and will be completely wiped out.
Unless Uncle Sugar gives the Penis-Piano-Playing Cocaine Cowboy Dwarf nukes, it's pretty much over.
Ukraine has become the place where even a nerdly incel can find a wife, since almost all makes under 40 were sacrificed to the God of Putin Hate Cannon Fodder.
I don't follow the war closely, only reports from those who do. And basically, it looks to be as you say, a bone head move. It's the kind of thing desperate people do.
Also, has America become so war exhausted with all it's inventory depleted that America is now de facto kind of demilitarized? Or even now unmasked as a second rate power, at least compared to Russia, and to some extent China. And in a war with Iran, could the United States sustain against drone warfare and hypersonic aircraft carrier sinking missiles?
I am not saying that the Americans could not make trouble and be very destructive. Just that the United States might not have the decisive upper hand it used to have. And what really gives me pause is this, the response to Houthis. There did not seem to be any real effective response which could negate the threat, end the matter.
Every "quiet protest" technique Jeff recommends for England ALSO CAN WORK IN THE USA. Especially those involving paying with cash instead of credit, and snarling traffic in major urban areas ... what fun Americans could have snarling traffic around Chicago's United Center and McCormack Place next week!
I thought the same thing. Why aren’t WE doing this HERE! I smell a new revolt We The People should start.
PS - I think Jeff planted new seeds in our minds to grow - inadvertently of course 😂
my friend suggested this during CoVid Scam shutdown....overload the stores with curbside pickups, give these rule-maker fakers MORE than they demand and make it unmanageable for them...they can stew in their own poison vat of control
You'd inconvenience citizens more than the store. How about filling up your cart and then suddenly remembering you left the oven on at home?
yes...i have done that when they had only self check out open at 9 pm...i mean a FULL cart too
But how does this do anything other than waste food? They throw all of that food away- unless you grabbed non perishables. But I still don't understand the point.
I was not about to self-check a full cart at 9 pm, they were cutting back on check out cashiers and so..i had to ditch the cart. I wasted my time, they did not sell $250 worth of items, and they got to pay someone to re-stock items.
It was lose-lose due to Kroger not staffing for shoppers after 9 pm. The only point i am making is that an intentional push by a group of fed-up persons can have a real and desirable impact when wanted, ...just as Jeff is discussing in relation to Govt. Bureaucracies in Britain... the nutty aisle arrows and store policies during CoVid were as ridiculous as the store allowing a host of non-community persons to invade our store from 2 hours away to buy up all the meat and toilet paper they could just as the advised Lockdown went into place.
Putting up with and merely griping about nonsense IS compliance.
Done it. Also participated in a mass maskless shop
😊👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
It makes sense: https://solhn.substack.com/p/why-learn-human-nature
I seem to recall a number of individuals shopping at Bed Bath and Beyond (before they went under) and suddenly needing to leave the store and their packed cart right near the front as they exited the store. ;)
I went up with a full cart and then said “lastly I want to buy 4 My Pillows” when the girl said indignantly “we don’t carry those anymore”. I said “How unfortunate “ and left.
unfortunately the road side pick-up was already a disaster. I heard several people complain about missing items, so they could not prepare their food, wrong items, long waiting times, some almost an hour (with temp over 90 degrees so running cars)
We all need to know our state congress people and have them on speed dial. National, too. Let them know every time we’re inconvenienced.
Information, phone #s, emails are all online.
Call and ask for their email. Forget to write it down and call again.
Just schedule a few minutes of annoyance every day. Call to see what legislation they’re working on (written by lobbyists). Call to see if they’re having a nice day. Call to say you’re praying for them.
"I'll be praying for you" how awesome is that! "I'll be praying often, continually, and ceaselessly for you as Our Lord instructed us"
LOLOLOLOL thanks.
What about we call every single Democrats office… repeatedly? Foul up THEIR phone lines? Ask them to explain the price controls… Platform… Etc. etc. etc. Tell them you think Hillary is prettier than cackle… 🤮 Whatever comes to mind… 😈
I love it! I really need to know more about the new found brilliance of Kamala.
And make it rhyme with Pamela so they have to tudor us on correct pronunciation.
Ours gave us blonde Oreos once. We were then completely ready to revolt. 😜
If we'd overloaded it all by feigning our science-based FEARS then it would've ended in one week. Use FBI incitement and infiltration tactics to leverage a situation. Become ONE with those in charge of our demise and subvert them. Hitler's Abwehr did this in May-June 1944 purposefully allowing Adolf and Crew to think the REAL invasion army with Patton was yet to be unleashed on Calais. Suspicion that Japanese Empire had same issues; fact that Stalin knew they wouldn't be invading with his Japanese Commie spies in 1941, and perhaps someone purposely allowed their codes to be intercepted by US Military in 1942 as well.
these are all fabulous ideas and laughter is by far the strongest weapon
Good to know there were some who outsmarted Adolph!
I worked for a couple of years shopping for customers at a Kroger store, and I can tell you that they cut customers off from ordering during the day because they only have so many staff. So while I agree with you, it won't have the impact because the store controls the number of orders per hour.
so if every week one picks a day to order one item every 20 minutes while another 90 people do the same that would get us cut off from service? Shoppers of Color could then take Kroger to court for various violations, i still think the car blockade and chaos in front of the store would have been enough to make them cave after a week. Chick-Fil-A had it working out but no way in heck could Kroger have with pharmacy and briquets, and booze, etc. I'm sure they have a protocol for Operation Catastrophe but then the whole thing shuts down and Law Enforcement or National Guard has to step in to manage it.
Where a will, there’s a way! We are smarter than them. We’ve got to start acting like it. And be willing to make some sacrifices.
And always apologize for your annoyance. Claiming to be autistic and thus not responsible can help.
…briquets and booze…. choking with laughter…gotta clean my keyboard now…..thank you!
we couldn't go to restaurants so carbon emitting barbeques were encouraged...not that there was an abundance of meat on shelves what with the immigrant meat-packers dying and sick with CoVid, also booze...well you know our collective livers were victims of the lockdowner fallout as well.
I think the point was to overload GOVERNMENT offices. Bureaucrats hate to actually work; make them. Picking on small businesses who are already struggling to deal with government regs isn't the point.
Certainly that's the current suggested call to push back on the tyranny, but when Kroger and other large compliant corporations are excused and contribute to the problem (as in from shut-downs in 2020) why not expand the scope to gain greater influence? Businesses can do what they want (unless they refuse to bake a Fake Wedding Cake, etc) the Left knows how to silence, neutralize, or even intimidate large and small business if they care to.
Yes he did. 🤔🤔🤔. We need a handbook of non protest protesting techniques.
“Rules for NON- Radicals”. !!!
Girl THAT is priceless!!! Take that Commie Nutjob Kook Leftist Radicals!
Here you go: Gene Sharp's The Politics of Nonviolent Action (Part 2: Methods). https://www.amazon.com/Politics-Nonviolent-Action-Part-Two/dp/0875580718/ref=sr_1_1
Mind you, Sharp and his techniques are used now by govts. too for color revolutions and regime change, etc., but still.... it's because they work.
I'd buy this only I hate Amazon. I think ppl know inherently wot we need to do, but getting everyone to do things at the same time is the trick.
Write it, you’ll be rewarded in so many ways!
"inadvertently"? My two big left feet, inadvertently.
Juff is at la as cunning as a pack of smart foxes. I know his for a fact.. to start with Fact Number One, he IS a lawyer. this sort of thinking is innate to the breed. Glad HE is on OUR side.
I used “inadvertently” sarcastically. 😂
So…
Yes! Keep the cash flowing. Pay for groceries in cash. You can pay your electric bill with customer service at most grocery stores with cash. You can use cash to buy gas cards to use conveniently at the pump, or just pay in cash. This is more of a tactic to avoid CBDC and also avoid some of your data being shared by credit card companies. Ed Dowd tries to use cash for everything. He says he wants to be a black hole of data!
Love this. New project for an old retired dude (who happens to live at my house.)
Share your strategies as you come up with them.
If you use Brave Browser, you can disable Javascript and make exceptions only for sites you like.
That will cut out a tremendous amount of advertising, popups, etc, as well as protecting you from Google and Facebook spyware, which is usually Javascript.
I was using Little Snitch on the Mac to block all Google and Facebook domains, but since I was forced to upgrade my OS to keep Brave browser working with Substack, Little Snitch demanded $50 to upgrade along and I refused.
But I found something pretty much as good: disable javascript for all sites except those you trust or really need:
Brave -> preferences -> Privacy and Security -> Site and Shields Settings -> JavaScript -> Don't allow sites to use JavaScript
Then below that, you can add sites you need:

It is a bit annoying to have to turn on javascript for sites you need that fail without it, but after a while the changes settle down as you accumulate permission for sites you need and you generally don't need to worry about it.
Yes! Another idea to go with Jeff’s. Hit the banks with ‘teller’ line-ups like the old days. Do your banking AT the bank and while there, get a three day supply of cash, the return on day four for another supply of cash. They will be hiring thousands of tellers, maybe even WHITE MALES! And we will be using CASH.
Keep Cash Alive started the campaign long before Ed got involved. Use their notes to give to cashiers along with the cash for added fun. I would tell cashiers of small businesses to give it to their owner. https://www.keepcashalive.com/
I’ve been handing out little flyers from that website when I pay cash. It’s amazing how many working class cashiers and wait staff totally get it!
An easy sell is to say- “without cash, how would I pay if the power was down? And how could I do a garage sale without cash?” I always end by saying “cash is freedom”.
Thank you for this!
Scamdemic mark Oshinskie stack said no more scalpers or cash for hockey games … all done by your phone . That really has significant implications.
Aren't tickets for concerts already only on the cell phones?
Probably the big arena shows. But we go to lots of small and mid sized venues for shows where you can still buy actual tickets with cash at the box office. We are going to Rocklahoma on Labor Day weekend and of course didn't drive to the box office for that but they mail you a wrist band with an RFID chip that you scan to get in and out of the gates. But we are boycotting any Ticketmaster shows that do not allow you to buy at the ticket window. We've gone to TSO every Christmas season since 2005 (except 2020). In 2023 the box office said they could not sell us a ticket. You can only buy through the app. And pay their RIDICULOUS fees. $38 on a $69 ticket. We were standing outside the door the day of the show so we caved and did it but never again. Wrote my 2 Senators and Congressman and they all actually did respond. Supposedly there is some legislation out there but not holding my breath.
I use cash as often as possible, but usually use my debit card for gas because it's easier to track my gas expenses. I never even thought about purchasing gas cards with cash! Thanks, Kathy, for the great idea!
Good idea.
How does using cash (vs. credit) help avoid CBDCs? Won't "they" simply instate the CBDC without any thought or consideration of how people are currently paying for things? If they're pulling all the strings, they can force retail establishments to no longer accept cash and seemingly have many other upper hands to utilize. Cash does keep big prying eyes off our purchasing habits, though.
Excellent ideas! I already do pay cash sometimes but need to do it more.
Please stay away from that convention for your own personal safety.
Dems put the Con in Conventions.
Dear Trump 2024 Campaign, please counter Border-Chief KowMala-Burn it down Walz 2024 with the following:
1). A Federal Law Regulating (eliminating) State and Local Taxation on Food and other Consumable Basic items that burden low and fixed income persons
2). Institute a TAX Free Savings Program for Down Payments on for first time home buyers, also a tax credit for the purchase, perhaps a matching stipend of sorts as well 3). Make Balanced Budget Amendment real and effective to STOP the Wild Spending on nonsense, corporate welfare, and ever-expanding entitlements that Causes Inflation-- tied to Corruption and Mal-administration as Crimes to prosecute legislators and bureaucrats who game the system. LOCK THEM UP.
DEFEND Business, Corporations, and workers.
COMMIE-MALA and Prison-State Walz need to be bitc-Slapped for their hateful Statist Policy proposals and failures and their pitting of Corporate America against the voters ahead of the election. Tamp down (t)he(i)r donations which are based on FEAR, hate, and control; and increase your own based on Fairness, Peace, and Prosperity for ALL. They truly are calling for a bloodbath on corporations (owners and boards) that aren't compliant and supportive of them and their fascist policies.
So, the solution for inane, insane more Big Government ... is more inane, insane Big Government but in the opposite direction. And just substitute 'Fairness, Peace, and Prosperity for All' in revere gear ... and all engineered by the same Big Government which is killing us in the first place?
What could possibly go wrong with this plan?
That reminds me of one of my favorite quotes:
“Biological warfare is essentially public health and preventive medicine in reverse.”
- Brigadier General William M. Creasy, US Army, January 1952
Read the book "Bitten The Secret History of Lyme Disease and Biological Weapons" by Kris Newby.
I read that after dealing with long-misdiagnosed Lyme and I have never recovered from the feeling of betrayal and anger
Another very important book that will give you deep background on bioweapons and their longtime development is “Lab 257 - The Disturbing Story of the Government’s Secret Plum Island Germ Laboratory,” by Michael Christopher Carroll. Coincidentally (!) right across the Sound from Old Lyme, Connecticut.
Thanks for this. And the quote is exactly right ... even brilliant and with an exacting economy of words. And so early, 1952 ... which informs of an awareness even back then. And at the time that this little gem spilled out of the mouth of Brigadier Creasy, I was only three years old.
Jane ... we iz in one hell of a pickle! (And thanks for writing. Because people like you help keep me sane.)
Thank you!
I do recommend the book I got that quote from - “The US and Biological Warfare - Secrets from the Early Cold War and Korea, “ by Endicott and Hagerman. (Both gone now, sadly.) Things are so much worse now. Jeffrey Kaye, on Substack, is still digging up documents from that era.
(I do like pickles, though.)
Actually, daverkb, accounting for your quick and informed posts about reality, I figured you for about 46, not 76. Well done!
Disrupt them, seduce Big Money away from the Fascist-Commie Threats and Fast Vast Profiteering Promises of the Left. Discard the careerists out of the swamp agencies with Project 2025. Perhaps we fear a return to the Old White M.I.C System of Coldwar-AntiTerrorism NeoCon Vietnam-Iraq fame, i get it, but this may be our last real chance to try to thwart the commie consumption of most of the nation by the Feds. Countering their Centrist Top-Down Leftist Populism Lunacy with a few basic tax reductions and credits to incentivize Private Industry etc is NOT adding to insane Big Govt. Our New Deal what do i get for free society eats this crap up and demands more, so why not eat the cancer of taxes and division in this way? Trump is a master of dealmaking and should unite us even as KowMala builds Walz to divide us
Clever ending.
Question. When u turn off the TV & work in ur community is the power-that-shouldn't-be effecting ur peace? Make a decree to God but don't give any loosh to the perpetrators of chaos, it just adds to their power. We get stronger, as the cabal gets weaker, that's how it works.
if ALL we could manage to enforce were a return to a work to rule" policy on everything included in the US Constitution, we'd make a century of progress in a week. Take out YOUR copy of the US Constitution and READ it. Now, consider each present FedGov agency. Find its basis in the document you just read. in 99.999 percent of all cases, you can't.
Suggestion 1) is concerning.
You just eliminated a large portion of the population from helping fight against excessive taxation. People don't fight what doesn't cause them pain.
And those same people receive gov't services the same as the rest of us.
Theft is theft regardless of how you view the mark's financials.
You mean Kamaduro
Yes, it’s being reported that over 30,000 Antifa have already hit Chicago with about 800 more coming in per day. Crazy I thought Antifa liked the Dems 🤷🏻♀️
I smell a false flag operation coming. If there are that many Antifa thugs in Chicago, then many of them probably have maga hats, Trump shirts, etc.
Assume every calamity is a false flag until proven otherwise.
They are already claiming that on X, that it’s MAGA people who are going to be violent. But actually we will all be up north at a Trump rally.
yes, we center-rightists ALLOW them to squabble and feud over the Zionism versus Caliphate extremist insanity...they lip-service "peace" but foment WAR theft death and destruction by their extremist hatred and violent tendencies.
The trump train is the day BEFORE the DNC starts. Mid-week during the DNC, people with real jobs will be working. And avoiding Chicago like the plague it is.
They blame Trump for the gun-toting Crooks being literally triggered as well. That poor kid was a victim of MAGA.
Not a victim of MAGA from what I read in deeper analysis by a ballistics expert. Video visibly captured the bullet from the CS to the rooftop shooter. And it was before the first shot was heard—the one that nipped Trump’s ear. Think on that for a bit!
My thoughts exactly. That is what the lefties do. Flip the script.
Someone should have a hidden camera and act like they are one of them and record what they all say for proof.
FBI /CIA research COINTELPRO. they have done this before w Agents Provocateurs. be aware~!~
be with affinity groups if possible and be ready to SHUT DOWN VIOLENT AGITATORS so they have no excuse to beat you down.
been there before with all this stuff in the 79s.
They’re dumb enough to think that will fly.
It seems that “Antifa” - all masked with no identities - are some kind of government Psyop - a very dangerous and destructive Psyop.😖 The “People” can be blamed. Seems like whoever our overlords want to blame can be blamed... Then the sweeps to lock up the dangerous suspects...
I’m sure everyone on this thread is aware that in the UK they’re locking people up for “dangerous” Facebook posts.
Are we next??? How soon??
And still so many sleep.
We already are there. Some J6ers were not at the Capitol that day and were just convicted by what they posted. There are others, whistleblowers, who were convicted with FBI planted evidence(pedophilia) on their computer. There have been doctors prosecuted for posting OTC treatments for covid costing them $500,000+ in legal fees and yeats in court. There was a man prosecuted, bank accounts frozen, etc. to prove fraud in a case that would clear Amazon of being held to a contract. The man was eventually cleared, but not before their family was upended for 2-3 years. Unless you know this is already happening, those who are "awake" are really just in twilight.
We are next. And they are already committing mass war crimes against us ... including the millions in C19 murders and maimings. And 'they' mean to exterminate us in every way possible. The ruling oligarchy is already waging total unrestricted warfare against us.
I wonder, are these Antifa people the immigrants - “young men of fighting age” - they have been letting into the US and paying/putting up in luxury hotels?
I hope they all have proper housing, transportation, and services for their stay in Chicagoland. Truckloads of bricks, fireworks, and frozen water bottles arriving daily as well?
will that ol' sun ball come up on the eastern horizon on the morrow?
hopefully 'twill with massive flare eruptions spewing to consume the inner planets with cleansing fire (Mercury and Venus Vaporized may bring earthlings to their knocking knees)
Weird that the UK Police think they have any legal authority to come after us over here.
They say the Commie Chinese are doing that in our borders...cleansing those who may have fled for asylum. Let the Torie Redcoats give it a go. Keep powder dry and Fix Bayonets!
My friend’s son works for a downtown financial firm that has all their staff working remote next week.
Also saw a news item with video reporting that Rush hospital is running “mass casualty drills”, because “were the closest hospital to the convention”.
Do they know something?🤨
Corporations are avoiding Chicago like the plague it is. 🤢
I remember The Miracle Mile being looted during the summer of love. Used to be fun to window shop there. Sadly, it never recovered.
Gosh, I’m sorry to say that the UK appears to be gone.
Suggest you read Substack "Welcome To Absurdistan" by Elizabeth Nickson, before giving up on England.
her background on the fighting spirit of middle england is impressive. I felt incredible pride for these fellow humans, truly alive humans
THAT breaks my heart. These people who survived so much hardship taken down by a passel of beastly politicians. (I am talking wars on their shores, ww2 and all the other things)
And, like us, the corrupted media.
ALL Republicans should stay away from that area next week. Don’t give them any bodies to arrest. That would be the best way to thwart any plans to stage another J6
Saw on TV that some Chicago businesses have boarded up their stores/windows, just in case.
It’s how they celebrate and make their presence known… by being destructive.
Antifa will create some kurfluffle with police and a black person will get shot and they'll burn Chicago down so martial law goes in and only mail in ballots, no in person voting. The civil war begins Monday???? or not
Possibly!?
They’re trying to force the Party ever further to the left.
You know, by threats of violence - in their usual mostly-peaceful way.
This all helps with their money laundering and spy-control policy objectives too; ratchet down on Everyone because they allowed AntiFa to run wild-- we all need to understand their grievances AND increase funding for initiatives and outreach as well as militarizing police. This showcases how EVIL the White Capitalist System (republicans) is ..and how the mainstream Moderate Dems are our saviors to pacify the oppressed victims (AntiFa, BLM) as well as counter the Evil Religious Rightwinger White Supremacists of MAGA. Problems and solutions from the very same source!
create the problem, create the solution.
Classic Saul Alinsky. Read his book. It exposes them for what they are, and knowing their methods helps defend against them and foil their rotten plans.
Hope Chicago has surrounded the area with high powered water canons.
Cool idea also!
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-68135180
Water cannons? Where’s the joy?
Waltz will supply paint balls.
Walz. Waltz is a good guy…as much as a Representative can be these days.
Antifa no doubt will burn the place down if they could 🔥🔥🔥 they took out police stations and not one Democrat bat an eye - especially Walz the Weird Minnesota Governor
Any chance of a link or two to this reporting? I don’t doubt the veracity, would just like to see for myself.
Where do they get the funds to fly in and protest? Are they taking PTO from work?
From us; tax dollars and other deep state donations (Soros) funneled to fake NGO’s, donated back to Dem PACs, then used however they see fit.
They are paid actors. Funds from the NGOs and such that the likes of Soros supplies. They don’t work honest jobs. They are fundamental anarchists. No political ideology, just tear it up and start over.
I’m only a few Metra stops from Democrat Hades next week. I bet I can smell it from where I live and it won’t be an aurora I see in that direction.
Please be careful!
Not going anywhere near the place or the near suburbs. I dont go down anymore anyway. Used to love the city but not any more. Been there, done that. That’s any big city now. The zoos just make me sad. I visit nature now.
Chicago. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.
Please be careful and consider staying home if at all possible.
Make sure your home/building is well secured. I'm sure businesses around the area will board up their buildings.
Govt. purchased, licensed Newcomer Food carts and perhaps a Mobile Abortion Clinic should be in order as well. Watch out for killer Fentanyl-laced magic mushrooms! A Catcare facility for all the single white frustrated cat ladies with facial hair who want to bring their 6 or more felines along. Pizza Parlor with a nightly Dragshow. What else could they cook up for their attendees? Maybe a Crooks inspired gun range with a Cardboard cutout of their most reviled enemy.
Indeed. I don’t go in even with the normal lunacy stalking the place. Shudder.
My thoughts too! Just like I persistently became a thorn in the side of our Michigan Unemployment agency during Covid when they were fraudulently doling out funds for anyone and everyone to sit home and not work then charging company accounts incorrectly.
Only problem is these tactics take time and energy to combat government bureaucracy. But it may come down to this!
I hope we live on the same island 🏝️🤗
Ask the J6 prisoners how much time they have, sitting UNtried in prison.
Free the J6 political prisoners 💥💥💥
well they probably have internet access and incentive to help us figure out stuff to do.
I don't think prisoners are allowed internet access.
Colorainbow doled out millions of FEDERAL FUNDS in the Unemployment Claims Scams for their Leftist Friends 2020-22 any charges or changes??? Hell No, Gov. Jerry Polis skates through it all with ease like an Olympian in tights
Whatever happened to the hacker group Anonymous? They used to routinely outsmart authoritarians.
I pay with cash anyway. and its particularly satisfying to get the product to the register at a place that says no cash, to say well that's what I've got take it or leave it. and I use 100 $ bills on the regular. once recently for a 4.50 purchase.
nancylee, the only problem with using large bills is that it may cause problems for retail businesses that may not be able to get to the bank for small bills, actually making using cash more of a problem for them. I speak from experience in retail.
Im considerate about it and ask if they can break it. my goal is to support small local businesses, not to hurt them
Plus, you are saving them the four percent credit card fee. It’s like a small tip, to give them cash!!
For some small businesses like barber shops, cash is also a way for them to evade income tax if they choose to.
Income tax and sales tax are fundamentally wrong and evil. They penalize work and commerce, and they give government the ability to spy on private transactions.
The best tax is the Georgist tax on land values. It does not penalize land creation, because the land is already there. And it cannot be evaded, since land cannot be hidden.
My stylist (home-based business) mentioned she appreciated cash tips, rather than adding her tip to the check total.
Also, my DIL worked as a waitress for a small restaurant. The owners kept her tips that were added to the credit card receipt. 😡
I try to tip in cash whenever possible.
Alternately, you could pay with US silver coins. They are still worth their face value according to the government.
So if you pay with a silver dollar, the store can legally count it as a dollar of income, though the silver in it is worth $25 now.
Yes. We have a kind of 'dented can' shop in our small city. They really appreciate cash buyers.
Better to keep the small change and bills in the pocket and pay for the product without having to haggle over change. I use cash and coins. It takes a little extra effort and the "sacrifice" of convenience, but hey, what's it worth to us? Use cash.
Small bills also give you the freedom to pay and leave a restaurant earlier, by leaving the money on the table instead of waiting for the waiter to take your credit card and bring it back. So it's _more_ convenient to pay with cash in that way.
Never let them “take your credit card and bring it back”, you know why!? They bring the credit machine to me at the table if I don’t use cash. But you’re right, use cash!
All the local coffee shops won't take $50 bills or higher. Unless you buy almost that much in merch - but with the way things are going, a cup of Joe might cost that much soon. :/
Truly a most brilliant C&C today!!! You outdid yourself Jeff ❤️ Amusement and facts is like peanut butter and jelly with you.
Your plethora of quiet protesting was phenomenal. And hilarious. We needed these examples, and I love that you gave us so many. Some of us aren’t as creative thinking in political frameworks and need these nudges. This same kind of thinking COULD work here in America too. I hope you consider a “part 2” for your next article and give us good examples of how this can look in America. How can we quietly protest the censorship whale? I’d love for that to be somehow screwed up to the point the current administration and big corp rues the day they ever chose to silence others.
I was thinking today, as I walked past our nearby elementary school which has been under re-development throughout the summer, that I would come in when it's OPEN and REQUEST a tour. After all, these enhancements have been paid for with our property taxes, therefore I could argue I'm touring my contributions towards education...
We actually paid the highest property taxes than ever before this year, ridiculously high, and it’s one of the nicest subdivisions in our city. The parkway trees on our culdesac island haven’t been trimmed in years. The branches are literally hanging less than a foot from the ground abd street and others are resting on top of bushes beneath them, and the trees are clustered too close. Perfect environment for disease and insects. Six years ago that actually passed into our yard and we lost 1/3 of our landscaping because of it. So I called in April and let them know they had to get out soon and we didn’t want that to harm our yard, and I had to call two more times this summer, and the guy was so rude. Last time I called I complained that we pay way too high of taxes for them to not stay on top of these things abd place our yards at risk, and he literally told me “most of your taxes go to the school district, so don’t complain to me. We will get there before winter.” I’m being the squeaky wheel but this guy is a PIA. I’m going to go above his head next. But I’ve noticed a difference from 10 years ago, they don’t care about the taxpayers at all.
I suppose, since most of our property taxes are going to the schools, we must entrench ourselves into those school board meetings.... even though my children are in private school...
100,000 plus pro Palestine activists will take care of snarling traffic in Chicago.
They will do the same thing at a Trump inauguration.
If there is a Trump inauguration I say we should all travel and created an arm-locked line around the entire event area and stand strong and unmovable. That would be something to behold.
Except that it may be construed as an insurrection of sorts and then the KGB, umm, I mean FBI, will track you all down to give you a nice vacation in jail.
This country is getting almost as scary as the Soviet Union and China..Communist lite.
Almost?
Hum! Brevity is indeed the Soul of Wit!
It is the worst years of the Soviet Union and China by other means ... and largely by deception through lying language.
And I have wonder, how many millions have been killed by injections, Remdesivir, ventilators, lockdown suicides, CIA drug importation, Deep State/NeoCon wars, and on and on.
We should stop all funding for regime change, or naming other countries as enemies, we have the enemy and she is within, our country is just as bad, we need regime change here.
They are right on target with their depopulation. Now they have to deal with, we the non-partakers.
Trump should have his inauguration OUTSIDE of Washington. In one of the arenas where he regularly has rallies. In fact it should just be a giant rally, with simultaneous rallies showing it on huge screens everywhere around the country. AND he shouldn't say WHICH rally he'll really be attending, and come in on a helicopter at the last minute.
That would actually be so awesome; I would love it. He would love it. We would all love it - no?
Might actually watch some MSM then but of course they will lie about it. Selective reporting. Maybe not. I’ll have to depend on Jeff and other truth tellers. I’m close to chi town but an old lady may not fare well there next week. Haven’t been since before Covid. Lost its luster when the crazy mayor forbade me a bagel with a schmear at my favorite snack spot. F**k em.
Exactly.
It's impossible to forgive and forget the plandemic crimes without a sincere apology from those who participated, and their willingness to press for prosecutions of those who arranged it all, people like Pfauci.
Apologies NOT accepted. Only jail time is acceptable.
Maybe we can get the lower level criminals to turn in the ones above them in return for leniency.
We may see the MSM have a "come to Jesus" moment. It's going to be a show alright!
My sister came up with this great idea: if we all paid $10.00 too much to the IRS, all at the same time, they would be backlogged for a year trying to process all those refunds. Well, with inflation, they might ignore $10. But they can’t ignore $25. They have to, at minimum, send you a notice of your overpayment.
Or we could overpay by some increment of 2, just to honor our C&C tradition….
Or we could all underpay but 2 or 22.
Don’t *underpay*! Then they will slap a fine on you and start charging interest. The last thing you want is to get audited by those people!
LOL! That's awesome!
I don't think it works that way. I overpaid state tax and they never paid it back
Sources in England report that they see little evidence of actual rioting and that nowhere is it ever reported how many people are actually involved. It's possible that this is more agitprop designed to justify totalitarian government moves.
When Michigan tried to have people report covid rule breakers the biggest one reported was the Governor. It worked the rules were dropped.
The FBI also tried that again the people reported the selected leadership concerning suspicious activvities
And that husband of hers with the boat in traverse city
I think he said “ do you know who I am “
The marina owner replied, “Yes I do and yours will be the LAST BOAT I put in the water this year.“
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 🤣
Gulag them for their crimes. No statute of limitations for EVIL
Do we still have GITMO....
I love this 🤣!!! Give us more examples!
Newsom in California was partying at a crowded elite restaurant with no mask while demanding others stay home and wear masks.
Fortunately, someone got a picture of him doing that.
The French Laundry scandal.
And then there was Pelosi going to her hairdresser,
when all of the salons were forced to close.
Yes, that's right.
I didn’t know that. I’ll use it on the next one. Oh, there will be a next one 😖
Could be, but it's still a great idea to jam up the government by using their own idiotically complex rules against them.
Well, we are dealing with commies here. Thanks.
Totalitarian Billionaire Oligarchs. Mostly Epstein freaks. some names for you. Peter Thiel, Reid Hoffman, Larry Fink, Gates, Buffett, Bezos, Zuck, others
Don't think Thiel belongs with the rest, and most of the list are useful idiots. The real bad guys are the neo-colonialist bankers in Europe and England.
do you work for them? because they sure look like the perps to me!
Nice apologist.
The only thing that will work is to stop paying them. Atlas needs to shrug and the people who actually do the work need to strike. I don’t know what that looks like or how we do it. Can everybody just walk off the job and refuse to pay for taxation without representation?
I've purposely lived below taxable income since vietnam. and I live very well. (no trust funds or inheritance) just a very creative approach to being paid for my time and skills.
Would LOVE to know what that looks like!!
think about it and make a suggestion. then I'll tell you what I do
The key must be TAXABLE income but I'm not sure what nontaxable income would look like.
getting paid in cash, don't report it on your taxes???
My neighbors run a doggie day care and only accept "donations" There's a constant parade of dogs being dropped off and picked up at all times of the day/night.
They don't have a business license, don't pay taxes on their "donations" either. Some of the other neighbors have complained to the city, and I soon saw them using our local park to take/deliver doggies so neighbors woud see that! 🤣
Im sure there are plenty of others here doing the same but not talking about it.
This is something is very much understand. Good going!
The Critical and Essential Workers had their chance to do so in 2020--it would have forced the system back open and ended the tyranny, but who is going to organize and pull off that level of action?
us
Tea party. Massive tea party.
Yup!! Honestly I pay cash wherever I can, if they don’t take it, most of the time I don’t buy the item! People do need to stop being so polite!
lets load them up with Canadian coins...adulterate the system with 5+% foreign coinage that approximates our own
That happened a lot between New Zealand and Australia. The coinage looked the same except different birds, animals, plants on the back, but always Elizabeth II on the front. I used to collect the Aussie coins for my trips over. It saved money on the exchange.
Whenever I've been in Canadian border towns, they would always take US money and return the change in Canadian.
One key is that US cash says it's valid for all debts, so you need to incur a debt to be able to force the business to accept your cash.
If the business requires a credit card _before_ you order, then your only choice is not to use that business. But if they accept your order and then serve you, they MUST by law accept your cash.
@Jeff please let me know if I misunderstand that.
Will the Dems be taking down the Blackhawks jerseys (the best-looking jerseys in pro sports) from the United Center rafters since they are obviously racist? The Cleveland Indians and Washington Redskins got scalped (haha) but the Blackhawks get a free pass?
Well, to be fair hawks are birds, so…
🤣
I think it depends on the name. No one minds being called a Chief.
Blackhawk is a real guy though...Like naming your team the Malcom Xers, or the Austin Austiners. Perhaps that's how they excuse make for this travesty of Manifest Destiny and Pioneer Expansionism and tribal displacement?
Excellent point!
It could work in the US, but we are a little too individualistic.
Hopefully we can band together in our communities.
Brilliant idea, though.
I had the same thought!
Problem is... the same can be done AGAINST the USA, like if TRUMP overcomes the planned massive election Fraud/Steal and wins...
All sorts of libturd and foreign groups, with their millions of low-IQ parasite followers and illegals... begin to block traffic EVERYWHERE (grow a pair, run them over)... destroy local power stations, send gangs in everywhere to plunder and damage retail stores, commit mass arson attacks, target Cops, sort of like the "Summer of Love" on steroids...
Perhaps TRUMP will quickly issue an EO that allows deputized (many thousands) citizens to fire on looters and arsonists. Announce a national curfew, from 9pm to 6am... violators to be gunned down...
Great sounding, but I don’t think Trump would go that far…still, he’s very common sense…
I am hoping that he does go that far... i think we need a Hitler-like leader to clean out the MASSIVE corruption in government, media and society, the crooked influence of lobbyists, especially the jews, the slimy ACLU, SPLC, NAACP, BLM, Open Society, CAIR... the insane pandering to the LBGTQ lice and the parasite illegals... Rogue DAs, judges, prosecutors... The CIA is perhaps his biggest enemy...
Half-measures and "forgive and forget" will not get it done... not close. IMO, Hitler, Putin, Orban, Bukele... great leaders all. Trump can join them... maybe... his personnel selections have been pretty terrible... his support of Israel is misguided... maybe he has learned.
Sounds good to me.
Yes, could be lots of fun.
Jeff, thanks for speaking out about the Brits who are being immediately sentenced and imprisoned for protesting the invaders who are stabbing their children. More examples:
https://twitter.com/davidkurten/status/1823517155540791598 "Lee Joseph Dunn has been imprisoned for 8 weeks for 3 social media memes"
https://twitter.com/ClevelandPolice/status/1821566097025278225 "Bobby Shirbon is now heading to the cells after being sentenced to 20 months." (was throwing bottles at cops)
https://twitter.com/Klaus_Arminius/status/1824571064594337848
1. A Ghanaian immigrant who killed his Irish housemate by stabbed him 34 times avoided jail.
2. Three Englishmen who protested the killings of 3 British girls were sentenced to 7 years in prison.
Pathetic. I have no desire to ever visit London again.
I grew up in London and like many natives I escaped. Don't waste your money on a trip to London - it's an absolute sewer now and so expensive. Even people from immigrant backgrounds are packing up and leaving.
There, like most capitals, are few indiginous, majority foreigners.
I never saw London and I guess I never will. Maybe I can find a "still-English" city like Worcester or a quiet coastal town? Suggestions?
If you appreciate 'ye oldey worldey' England then York in North Yorkshire is a good bet. Bath, Chichester and Lincoln are nice places - all three are Roman towns so lots of history. Places to avoid or spend a minimum of time in are the big cities, London being the worst. The other big cities would probably be fine for a short visit but London really is not a place I'd recommend at all now - I was a police officer there.
Thanks for your reply, Amanda!
You are welcome :)
Isn’t it weird since it was announced a few months ago (can’t remember which elected official) that England only had 700 spaces left in the prisons and were going to have to let 40,000 inmates out early? You’d think with that level of crowding they would focus on imprisoning real criminals and not ‘ far right wing’ thought or meme crimes. But, sigh, I suffer from actually having critical, thinking skills so I’ll probably never understand.
yeah, they'll run out of prison space soon if every meme gets you jail time. they'll have to start transporting people to Australia again, lol.
Omg or ship them to America’s southern border - hmmm tho that would certainly give us extra Trump votes! We should all offer to take Britain’s meme prisoners! And counter Kamala’s evil immigration voting scheme
Shouldn't they be policing sermons and homilies for possible slurs and offences to The Prophet, Rainbowers, and Secularists? Likely not much of that going on but still, elevating some ancient wandering Jew above the STATE is in itself quite threatening
Let’s offer to take in their British meme/speech prisoners! We will register them to vote and it will offset Kamala’s immigration votes. We can put them up in motels across the nation and heck I’ll even offer up one of our guest rooms for a fine Brit like that. 🤣
That’s right. Starmer was going to let murders out early because they were running out of room.
Ah it was ‘two-tier Kier’. Makes sense.
Given that they don’t appear to be investigating actual crimes, I think this was just to accommodate the potential protestors. In anticipation.
The Labour government announced they would be releasing prisoners early - one example was a man who stabbed someone with a machete who they released after 6 months. They are also suspending prisoners sentences so they never actually go into prison.
the stabbed was not a member of the State i assume, perhaps an underling like a menial policeperson. One must balance the historically underserved and triggered stabber's victimization to the stabbee's position on the Societal Apartheid Chart
I never realized it, why all the AGs in the US are not prosecuting actually criminals or jailing them. They are making room for us peaceful protestors or memers or facebook or X posters.
It's a clear strategy, some people are afraid of prison and punishments, others aren't. The government is desperately trying to keep a lid on the issues that are liable to boil over at any moment which might even lead to civil war. Someone who goes around stabbing people doesn't fear the law. Someone who has something to lose might think twice about retweeting a meme. You placate one group by prosecuting the other.
Love your "handle." Wish I'd thought of it first!
I actually don't have one and continue to expose my real identity everywhere. I am open to suggestions! :)
Try "Mimicry of Truth."
It's hardly original, George Orwell probably came up with it in the 40ies, I know the feeling.
Yes, familiar with the Orwell origination; but still admire the novel absconding. :)
Honest XX

Yes it’s really outrageous 😡😞
PROOF that anti-Nationalism IS What the hijackers of Western Nations are pursuing and demanding, orchestrating-spurring mass migrations---foreign destabilization paired with "law" and policies to mass-traffic communities wholesale into the West in order to disrupt and remake everything on both sides of the ledger for the benefit of the Elitist Globalist Masters.
The judges apparently think they and their families will suffer no ill consequences from these immigrants. They must have been promised lovely spots in the NWO and are therefore willing to be traitors to their countrymen. Don’t they know what liars their masters are? The love of money and (power) is the root of all evil!
Yep. The muzzie invasion of the east, and the whatever invasion of the west. Hm. Coincidence? I think not.
'They' mean to kill all. A living death or actual death, it makes no difference to 'them'.
Marxist Manifest Destiny, a Globalist Level Directed Human (Cultural) Evolution
Watch Tommy Robinson videos on X. He really shows how muslim gangs are raping and killing children and those who protest it are locked up. The protestors are mostly protesting the illegal migrants from getting free housing in upscale British hotels while homeless are ignored. And these migrants living in the Brits hotels for free are the ones caught raping and killing Londoners but the ones who complain about the killing or tweet or post on facebook or protest are jailed.
Sounds like Kamala and Tampon Tim’s new slogan!
Brutality Enabled by the State; NAZI Party perpetrated this upon Germans to control and contain opposition and weed out opponents in singles and dozens at a time...very effective process in early to late-stage tyranny
Worse than King John! And he was a fking nightmare.
It seems an ongoing live public comprehensive chronological cataloging of each and every “offense” along with the “judicial” consequence could be illuminating.

The Kammie speech yesterday about how prices are still too high even after 4 years of her and Joe to an audience of 100 was crazy. She then rolls out communist ideas to solve her disastrous term? Pure gold idiocy. Who wrote that and thought it would play in this new ‘she is our savior movie’ we are witnessing? Hope the DNC gets real spicy this week.
The Babylon Bee got it right a few days ago with this headline: " 'I Will Fix Things if You Vote Me Into Office,' Says Woman Currently In Office." 🤣
They (The Babylon Bee) did a podcast on "The Wisest Wisdom of Kamala Harris"

Hyena Harris …

Hyena in Heels; she should market knee pads like Jordan does shoes
Remarkable
Unbelievable, she can say all that without saying “we’ve been power for that past 3 1/2 years”, but critical thinkers only put that together!
🎯
Coloradumbo Voters don't blame the Cultmaster Polis or his minions, they only blame the Rep. boogeymen and give more power and authority to those promising to fix things. Like your mugger bandaging your wounds and saying how well he cares for you after you hit your face on his fist and fell to the pavement. Inflation isn't their fault, so the fix is to spend more $$ they don't have with their friends, raise taxes and offer services to help. Cycle Repeat.
It was kind of hilarious…my husband and I just looked at each other and said, “Is this for real? Did she just out the Biden-Harris administration while trying not to out the Biden-Harris administration?” I can’t imagine ANYONE, not even the lowest information voters, fallin’ for that 🤦♀️.
Then again, there are still some people who believe in that Covid jab! So dumb people abound.
This will smack them in their face..though I do feel sorry for anyone walking around with MRNa in their bodies. I can understand many of them choosing not to believe it was deadly, for the sake of their own sanity.

One of those just de-friended me on FaceBook yesterday. She's actually paid to be a science teacher, but what she's teaching isn't science....and I didn't mind saying so. Not referencing HER but referencing the lack of science in the entire C-19 narrative. Oh and the crowning glory was my edit of the AF2 photo with the sheep instead of people, and I Photoshopped it so the sheep have a reflection in the fuselage (to make it more real)! She really hated that one!
I like that. Love photoshop. I’ve done my share of “editing”. Good for you. Meme-bomb em.
Or misinformed…gobbling up the narrative because they aren’t aware of the truth behind the alternate narrative. So. Sad.
The Trump Derangement Syndrome is real. Unfortunately, all six of my adult children are voting for Kackler only because they refuse to even consider Trump getting back into the White House.
My grandmother would call that "cutting off your nose to spite your face." I just don't understand. Trump wasn't my first choice, either. But now he's the only choice.
My mother said that too. Sun Tzo said that an evil man will burn his country to the ground just to rule over the ashes..
Public school education is to blame for the inability of young people to understand the relationship of cause and effect.
I even started wondering how much Trump's campaign is paying her, that's how ridiculous she is.
@Cheryl that reminds of a meme I screenshotted recently:
“A vote is not a valentine. You aren’t professing your love for the candidate. It’s a chess move for the world you want to live in.”
And, it's not who votes that counts, but rather who counts the votes.
Unfortunately, that is how it is. 😞
This is so real ! They do NOT care …
either they are voting against Trump or for their ideology.
It definitely has nothing to do with the person—as they’ve proven it can be anyone!
They best be aware and ok w America ending if she is selected
I don't know how they can be so stupid. I didn't raise them to be idiots, yet here we are.
My daughter, who holds a master’s degree and is definitely not an idiot, is also voting for her because she believes in the insurrection narrative, and because she believes Harris was sidelined by the Biden administration and because of misogyny (or something blah, blah, blah) she wasn’t allowed a say or listened to by Biden and his handlers. Apparently there are been podcasts touting such nonsense and she among others apparently believe that storyline. It pays to have most journalists and all of the Hollyweird spinmeisters on your side.
Well, she did allow herself to be VP to the Oldest, Whitest most racist president that we've had in the past 100 years...poor victimized KowMala
One of my daughters lives in Las Vegas and went to the "rally." Even after seeing the AI generated crowd she still stands firm that KH is the best defense against the hated capitalists and will solve all the world problems.
God gives the wicked over to their own wicked ways.
Propaganda is powerful and a toxic poison. It can sicken and even kill. You are the antidote Cheryl!
Don't blame yourself. The culture is pervasive and strong. Stronger than parents, stronger than religion.
Also young people have always wanted to think that they know better than their parents, generally, until they have families and jobs of their own.
Most (including me at that age) know very little about anything that matters when it comes to the direction of the country. The culture gives them reasons to vote blue. and there you have it.
Unfortunately, my kids range in age from 46 to 34. They've reached the age where they should know better.
Culture is not stronger than the will of God. He reigns supreme.
Many have become so brainwashed, that they believe Trump will be a dystopian dictator ending all their precious abortions and transvestite children reading circus acts.
Because, you know, THAT is what is important to retain our democracy.
That is what the sick culture has devolved into.
Daily Mail highlighted a young woman today who boasted on social media that she slept with 21 men in one day. 😬
Bingo. Her claim to social media fame.
That is where we are at with that generation and why they love abortion and where their mindset for voting blue and voting Kamala comes from ("protecting women's reproductive freedom").
Policies! Not people.
And most of them would have likely voted for Desantis. This was always the risk with Trump; there's too many people that can't get past Trump the person. They're willing to vote for a conservative, just not Trump.
Don’t be too sure they would have voted for DeSantis. The media would have done to him what they’ve done to Trump and if he’d stood against it the way Trump has, the media would have gotten more and more vicious. It’s all brainwashing. And it’s very effective.
Yes Romney and McCain were EVIL until they were opposed to Trump--Orwellian Media Establishment recreating narrative and reality in real time for us. KowMala Ms. Open Bordez and Wallz are moderates and mainstream. Bernie Sanderz is too as well. Even as they PURGE their party of the Anti-Israeli faction that got just a bit too vocal and bit the hand that feeds them.
🎯🎯🎯
It’s hard to combat TDS…almost impossible. But for those who just don’t know, there is hope…and I think many now know. Just ask the guy who’s voting for “Daddy” 😉. https://x.com/ImMeme0/status/1793822138903757197
Stupid is as stupid does. I have the same situation.
maybe we should all put here things you could say to your adult children that might sway them. Do they remember their was no inflation and what gas pricces were when Trump was Pres? And no wars!
When I didn't want to vote Trump in 2016 and couldn't understand why my friends were voting for him, they suggested I read, the Art of the Deal or google You Tube videos of Trump pre 2015. I did that and now died in the wool Trump voter!
They'll fall for it. There's a new low in critical thinking these days.
They are not thinking. They have picked a “sports” team to follow and will paint half their face blue and scream (vote) for the win! It is sooo ridiculous to not listen to both sides. But they don’t. And their best come back is “be nice”. To which I answer, “no”.
It’s difficult to think critically when your brain has been washed.
sadly I've been informed by several friends they are thrilled with her and would vote for anything to keep trump out. they are well and truly hypnotized.
Sadly Nancy, you may need to cultivate more intelligent friends.
They love how "upbeat" she is!🙄
Yea, let's all cheer while our entire Country goes to hell in a handbasket. I'm sure that they will LOVE that.
Joyful! 😝
That's another part of Bidens (rather his handlers) insurance strategy shooting her in the back. They made sure she was tied to all the policies and not just treated as an inconsequential figurehead. Also why they put her in charge of the border. The media tries their best to make it look like she had nothing to do with it but that doesn't work with a more hostile audience.
"Joe Biden has blown it the last 4 years, but it's the Republicans' fault!" Vote for Ms. Open Borders and Walz-2024! Four More Fears!
Assignin
Re: "Hope the DNC gets real spicy this week!" Yes! Me too! Kinda hoping for elements of the chaotic 1968 convention in Chicago. Wouldn't it be loverly? Makes me want to write a song......
Free money always wins the votes of the most uneducated people.
Can we talk about how she didn’t even pronounce gouge properly?! She said gauge 🤦🏽♀️
Price Gauging is likely a more elevated and precise economic term that is just a bit above our level. She was a prosecutor and intimately aware of such gauging in the industry. She worked under some powerful men and was intimate with any number of things we don't know about.
I see what you did there, hahahaha
She cannot read a teleprompter. Must be a Dem affliction. 🙄
And the woman behind her in her crowd with the mask on 🤦🏼♀️

But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ, and manifests through us the aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place.

"how to protest without protesting"
wait, you mean we don't have to burn flags, ransack businesses, destroy properties, and scream at the sky like petulant children in the name of 'progressivism'???
whoa..
Speaking of scare tactics. One of our tax loving Democrat county legislators tweeted out yesterday, "Covid cases are rising fast - come by the health dept office and get your free 'covid kit' to keep your family safe" From the picture it looked like the kit comes with a brochure, covid tests, and masks. Are you kidding me? No ivermectin? No vitamin C and D?
The good news is, the comments are running 3 to 1 telling him to shut up and or quit wasting taxpayer dollars.
The residents of PA had to put up with Dr. "Rachel" Levine, when she was our Sec. of Health, telling us to prevent covid by washing our hands to the length of time it took to sing Happy Birthday.
I don't remember, was that before or after he pulled his mom out of senior care?
He pulled the mom out of the assistive living really early.
About the same time as former Gov. Tom Wolf sending the covid positive patients back to the nursing homes in PA.
My favorite was Wolf shutting down the "nonessential" pallet manufacturing company in Berks County which caused a shortage of Clorox bleach because the company was one of the main manufacturers/suppliers of shipping pallets for Clorox.
He also shut down Crayola (Easton based) as non essential. Don't want those kids forced to stay away from school to have anything creative or productive to do!
The kids really suffered during the shutdowns.
Lifetime of trauma.
Remember when Wolf shut down rest stops and finally had to retreat when all the truckers started howling.
It would have been great to have all the truckers leave their piss jugs on the steps of the legislature in Harrisburg as a reminder to all those idiots about what happens when politicians do stupid things. By the way you un-ranked poor Rachel-she is now Admiral Levine! How dare you!
Bless you, Notyours, for the correct pronoun usage.
Fauci explained the same hand washing technique. It's what preschool teachers tell their students. That's how they view the public.
You mean when ‘he’ was Sec of Health?
Yes...he.
A friend in FL, posted a similar comment as the tweet. I have no idea why she's in a panic but for some reason she is. She mentioned, covid found in water testing? Doesn't surprise me. Corona viruses are everywhere.
They started testing & reporting on water samples around end of 2020. I think they must be ramping up the Covid reporting, primarily it seems to sell more paxlovid .
I had a couple ppl say, you probably already know about the water testing, but…
Hard 🙄
Now they are willing to exploit water testing, but not in the beginning of the panic to get a more accurate representation of viral exposure and prevalence.
How does anything in that "kit" actually keep people "safe" (and if I never have to hear that term again, it will be too soon)?
"keeping you safe" ranks right up there with "experts say" as terms that cause my BS meter to start going off in overdrive.
“mentally vaccinated to media alarmism”
LOVE IT!!!
Finally a vax that makes sense.
I took all those and the boosters :)
I'm boosted everyday!
MAGA boosters!
🤣
Sadly, the low IQ people of this world DO THINK that corporations are price gouging and just raising prices to make more profit. So Kamala's price gouging idea may resonant with some people.
I will say again. It isn’t price gouging when every single store and business in the entire country is experiencing it. Do some do it to take advantage of the situation? YES!!!! Is every single place in the country all price gouging. NO. It’s called govermentonomics/bidenomics and the destruction of America from the inside out.
We need to keep slapping these libtards upside the head with the truth. Maybe one of the slaps will stick. (This is a non violent metaphor and I do not advocate actually using your hand to slap anyone. My lawyers wanted me to clarify this point).
Blaming and projecting blame is part of the dem playbook… if it’s the stores and businesses fault…. Why the ever increasing store and business closures?? Stores Closing In 2024
- Rue 21 closing all 540 remaining stores after filing for chapter 11 bankruptcy
- Foot Locker is closing a total of 400 stores in mall locations (20% of their locations)
- Rite Aid has already closed 231 locations this year (13.5% of their total locations)
- Best Buy are closing 15 of their locations
- Family Dollar is closing 600 stores
- CVS is closing 900 stores by the end of the year (10% of their locations)
- Bed Bath & Beyond closing all 360 remaining stores after filing for bankruptcy
- Christmas tree shops is closing all 73 of its remaining stores
- Charters closing all stores as part of a shift to online retail
- The 99 Cent Store all 371 locations makes sense considering the economy
- Express closes 95 of its stores as part of its bankruptcy restructuring (20% of store locations)
- Walgreens is closing 150 stores by August
- H&M is planning to close 240 stores globally
- David’s Bridal closing all locations
- Tuesday Morning closing all locations
- Party City was closing all 45 of their remaining stores after restricting bankruptcy they will remain open but still be forced to close down 33 stores
- Big Lots closing dozens of stores in California
- Outback Steakhouse has already closed 40 of its restaurants
- UPS is cutting 12,000 jobs in 2024
- Citigroup cutting 20,000 positions as well
- EBay, Thousand jobs lost there
- Microsoft, cutting 1900 positions
- Expedia, cutting 1500
- Cisco, cutting 4,000
- Apple, cutting 600.
- Regal Cinemas closing 429 locations
- Kroger's grocery store chain shutting down 413 stores
- Foot Locker closing 400 stores by 2026
- Macy's will close a 150 locations by 2026
- Walmart, already this year, has closed 6 of its super centers
Hopefully some of these closures are due to the impact our boycotting voices have had against their pushing politics in their business.
If you are an Amazon Prime customer, it is probably your fault all these stores are closing. Do you go to stores and buy? or just look and touch and then go home and buy online from the cheapest source?
The destruction of retail is by design but to heal we have to look at how they got us to help bring about this destruction.
I would (and have) purchased from these stores in the past but recently I've discovered they do not have what I want or need. After going to 3 shops looking for an item all 3 used to carry, I gave up wasting time and gas and just ordered online.
True. Guilty. But my option would be Amazon or CVS for most of the items I buy. I find CVS just as evil. They deliberately put all family owned pharmacies across the country out of business in the 80s and 90s. I remember how they opened up every few blocks and how our town's pharmacies tried, but said they could not compete. So that pharmacy owner, which was previously able to sustain a family and home in the 50s and 60s, had two choices: retire or become a slave pharmacist for CVS at $18 an hour...not enough to continue feeding his family and paying his mortgage for sure!
Sad.
CVS also offered the vaccines and refused to fill prescriiptions for Ivmctn.
Lol, CVS..was there yesterday to buy something. Their loudspeaker had a recording saying that they offer 25 vaccines!
😂
In his 2014 book The Everything Store, Brad Stone chronicles how Amazon became an "innovative, disruptive, and often polarizing technology powerhouse." He writes that Amazon was among the first to realize the potential of the Internet and that the company "ended up forever changing the way we shop and read." Obviously Jeff Bezos Amazon and online retailers negatively impacted storefront retailers in much the same way as malls impacted mom and pop stores in the 60’s and afterwards forcing many out of business because they simply could not compete with the mall retailers purchasing power
Was good old Jeff a brilliant entrepreneur or an operative of the deep state? Another create a billion dollar business out of a garage or part of a deeper plan?
It is no secret that the govt created and funded the internet. It should not be a stretch that the govt created this guy to take out all independent businesses. "We are famously unprofitable': A 36-year-old Jeff Bezos on Amazon" https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20240628-a-36-year-old-jeff-bezos-talks-about-losing-money
Look at the financials for Uber too - $30B in negative retained earnings? Who can afford to support all those losses for all that time?
When I was growing up these types of businessmen were called "robber barons" and we had laws against it. Now they are called brilliant, go figure.
And Bezos owns the 2nd most liberal paper the Washington Post. Goes along with your point that the govt probably funded Amazon and also possibly funds the Washington Post to run the liberal narrative. and Dem campaign.
Great list, thank-you!
Though I can't say I'm shedding a tear for many of these (any of these?). Don't get me wrong, I'll be bitching as much as the next person when there is no local drugstore to buy earplugs at and I have to shove cottonballs in my ears to get sleep, lol, BUT...
Most of these brands were anathema to local, independently owned stores, as well as to human ingenuity (i.s figuring out how to do and make things because not every product or solution was so easy, cheap, available). This is like getting sad that Borders Bookstores closed. The damage was done long ago, and now the enslaved consumer is just...further inconvenienced...that even Big Daddy mega-corp is shutting its doors. Oh and we just HATE inconvenience.
Express is tied up with Epstein so...good riddance.
When I was growing up--there was no Party City; we bought decorations and supplies at local stationers' stores, a franchised Hallmark store, or a local, independent drug store. And I'm not talking the fifties, I'm talking 70s, 80s.
Dollar stores and Big Lots just offer mostly hella toxic, offgassing suprlus plastic garbage from China. But of course we need our plastic totes because there's no real nice furniture anymore to store our whatever in.
Expedia? Remember...booking your own vacations? Using the AAA road guide to find motels for that road trip? Just...winging it? Oh, but we want our rewards points, of course.
In this respect, I suppose I'm an accelerationist, which is a VERY BAD WORD that is on a lot of lists. These propped-up-by-inflated-stock stores/companies can't leave this earth soon enough, for my tastes. Not saying it will be comfortable or even survivable when they all go, which I have full faith they will, but honestly, they were parasites. As are their surviving 'competitors'. And every time we delegate to them, we lose.
Thanks for that information. Might I ask where you found all the info?
Just search engine “store closures, business closures 2024… several fact checked articles, example: https://bestlifeonline.com/major-stores-closing-in-2024/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR2KwSaaAMKWys6zU9Iqmpq8cYiO4OBTWyxTuwDgcKGfP8QatS9X7dAsS3g_aem_yh8ItrNRt_1udvbqgyrITw
Wow! Good post!
Thank you MissLadyK 😉
Are we forgetting that Trump also shares part of the blame? He added $8 trillion to the debt in just 4 years. That weakened the dollar and contributed to inflation. I wish his supporters would have an honest discussion about this.
Trump isn’t flawless. That is alarming too. Congress is full of crooks and professional looters. They are all to blame.
Oh yeah let’s discuss. You make the claim that he added 8 trillion to the debt, without mentioning ( convenient for a trump hater) that the value added to the economy from his policies was three times that. Prove me wrong.
How convenient to pretend that ballooning the debt has nothing to do with a weakened dollar or inflation. It does when it's team blue, but not when its team red. That's ridiculous and I'm sorry if you can't see it. Trump's economy wasn't amazing. Him saying so doesn't make it so.
401K were growing so much, and then with Biden they started slipping the opposite way. That is all I know.
Gas was cheap too. Maybe not the USA economy of the 50s, but atleast in those two examples, much better than Biden.
Some do. But he’s the option we were given
Wasn’t a lot of that Covid stimulus and remediation?
Sure, and that would not have been necessary had he not locked down the country to "flatten" the curve, opening the door/normalizing it for governors to do all over the country. There was absolutely no reason to do that scientifically.
Use a two by four. With both hands.
And not just low IQ people, sadly. I have a number of conservative friends who toss out
'price gouging' and 'greedy corporations' terms all the time. I try to remind them of all these 'fight for $15' protests and try to explain wage-price spiral, fuel cost increases and govt mandates. But that's complicated. Blaming 'corporations' is the easy button. And by the way these folks have IRAs and 401Ks too. Ya want profits in the tank, ok, good luck with retirement.
They’re not really conservatives if they think the solution to high prices is the government fixing prices.
Oh I don't think they want price controls, it's just a random bitch session remark. And proof that the media propaganda does seep through even to those who say they resist it.
Or…they may be conservatives who don’t understand Econ 101. Soundbites are easily digested. A comprehensive understanding of economics and free markets? Not so much.
Granted, I am not one who understands economics that well.
However, I do bitch about something I have noticed.
Anyone wanting to open a small business knows that rents are beyond ridiculous. Most businesses are corporations which can pay the hideous amounts of rent, and I think, write it off if their monthly revenue doesn't cover it.
A small business owner cannot. They cannot survive if their revenue does not cover the rent and more. So they fail.
The fact that all these corporate businesses can pay the exorbitant rents, also drives up rental prices more.
So: RIP small family owned stores and businesses.
That infuriates me.
I daresay everyone here that has a college degree was "educated" about economics using Paul Samuelson's introductory college textbooks on economics. His textbooks are pure Keynesian economics which teaches that the entire economic ecology of a society could be reduced to mathematical formulas by which the Gov't can control the economy. Try and make it make sense! When I took those courses, I knew they made no sense so I just regurgitated what I was taught to pass the tests. As soon as I graduated, I began to re-educate myself by reading the proponents of the Austrian school of economics. Night vs Day is an understatement.
Same here. Total agreement. Discovery of the Austrians was a big change. Best education is Rothbard's two volume history of economics. Now why don't they teach that in schools?

Regan imposed wage and price controls.....I think people have forgotten this. I'm not saying I adovcate for it...I don't know what the answer is. If we actually had capitalism that would be different, but we have a corporate state. I noticed the other day oil was under $80/barrel, but fuel still costs $3.35 where I live. That appears to be price gouging. Organic bell peppers in peak season are $9/lb. That also appears to be price gouging. I say "appears" because I don't know all the details to make an honest assessment. It is quite possible we have both inflation and some gouging going on.
try growing bell peppers and you'll thank god for $9/lb
Yes! I grow $1000 tomatoes and $500 peppers. 🤦🏼♀️ 😂 but at least I know I’m not ingesting the pesticides and chemicals. So is it worth the money? How much is peace of mind worth? 🤷♀️
I buy organic for that reason. Thank God for Trader Joe's prices. These green juice places that do not use organic produce make me sad. I feel like saying " enjoy drinking your pesticide cocktail".
I feel the same way about eating out unless it is something I know is not on the dirty dozen list like avocado.
An investigative reporter spent a month investigating claims of 'farm to table restaurants' and found that the claims are mostly fraudulent.
Sigh..life used to be so much simpler back in the day.
We are, but two of our three plants got nipped by pesky pack rats
I keep losing my pineapples to critters 😡. I noticed the squirrels got to my jalapeños and laughed. I wonder how hot their mouths got!!! 😂 😂
Yes! And for many, many years the textbook theoretical understanding of economics that says when one seller sets a price another comes along and sets it lower and so on until there is true competition and it hits the true price that is a win-win, eliminating gouging. But I have not seen this in real life - really ever. All I see are different sellers all stubbornly selling at the same ridiculously high price and never budging - not because that’s the true fair price, but because of some “we agree” type camaraderie between the major corporations. Usually the product goes out of production if it doesn’t sell higher rather than it dropping to a fair, reasonable, win-win price. I understand the theory and the logic behind competition, but I rarely see it in action. For some reason there is no real competition.
There are plenty of companies that do price gouge (i.e. a price falsely fixed at way over the true market value) and it almost always involves coordination between the government and big business. Pharma is the prime example, the market is completely rigged and these corporations are all too happy to engage in it. Pharma is the epitome of a "greedy corporation". Look at what we just went through with Pfizer and Moderna. Good grief, look at Purdue Pharma. This despicable corporation run by the grotesque Sackler family killed hundreds of thousands and destroyed large parts of rural America.
The free market is a great thing but very often we don't have a free market but crony capitalism. Stop idolizing these companies as they don't love the free market and welcome government interference if it benefits them. The solution is to do everything you can to make sure you never need these products though, not by trusting a corrupt medical industry but taking management of your own health.
Price controls are boob bait for Bubba that exacerbate the problem and don't fix anything. But please don't be under any illusion that these giant multinational companies are in any way not greedy.
People have started using the way off, patent off label treatment Mebendazole as an effective anti-cancer drug. When Merck found out, they raised the price of this old drug from dirt cheap to $550 per 100 mg pill. Not only did they want to take advantage of the demand, but they also wanted to discourage people from using the much more lucrative new chemotherapy drugs this is why many people are taking the animal version which is fenbendazole, the dog dewormer which can be cheaply purchased online. Supposedly you can get a compounding pharmacy in India to make you mebendazole for well under a dollar per pill.
When I got hookworm from the beach in jamaica (raised tracks criss-crossing the top of my foot) I found out about this drug. It is prescribed all the time by docs there. The doc here who was actually treating me had to get a textbook to find out what to do because nobody gets hookworm here, but in Jamaica it's all the time. I think mebendazole may even be over the counter there. How unfortunate if the people there who need it can't get it anymore because of the price.
Exactly, these types of stories are common in the medical industry.
What people don't seem to understand is that BOTH things can be true. Inflation can be caused by reckless government money printing AND giant corporations can use monopolistic practices to fix prices. It's not necessarily only one or the other. Medical care is specifically set up to treat people in the most expensive manner possible, with costs increasing exponentially year to year.
If we had a free market then price fixing wouldn't last as competitors would fill the void. But we don't as government regulation, licensing boards, and corporate cooperation are used to choke out competition. And these giant companies love the government interference as only they can afford to comply thus preventing competition. Plus there's so much money involved they have captured the regulatory agencies through outright bribery.
This is why "conservatives" are talking about corporate price gouging, we have not suddenly become secret leftists. But we recognize we don't have a free market, and these giant companies are not our friends. Many are run by bona fide sociopaths as Pfizer and Moderna have made perfectly clear.
They DO appear to all agree on not competing with each other to protect their price.
High IQ people have abandoned critical thinking. Collateral damage from the Plandemic and too many boosters.
Two of the higher IQ people I know were among those who swallowed hook, line and sinker, the covid farce and jabs.
Modern life: easy peasy. cars, refrigerators, supermarkets, fkn dishwashers, heating, air, toilets, lawnmowers ( or just hire someone ), and of course JUNK food . Result : 95% (my estimate) just could not resist . Given the choice between critically ACTING to put in the effort to maintain good eating habits, good lifestyle , and great ETHICS ....... or just succombing to the drug of ease . Laziness . What the hell !
IQ is only used now to make more money .... to support their habits . And no addict will ever admit to being hooked . That is why their eyes, the slave masses, glaze over and ears close when confronted with these facts . My "friends" have all acted accordingly .
Let me also add the take a pill for all that ails phenomenon . Maybe the biggest culprit in capturing the minds of the masses. Hello pill........ goodbye health.
This!! My older sister, a PhD (whatever) and govt employee (of course). A county psychologist on hire for when the police or sheriff run into ‘jumpers’ or other mental mal-contents. She goes along with them to ‘evaluate in the moment’ and potentially talk them down. Prior to covid she said, about some malady I cannot remember, “If I could just take a pill, if there was one, I would…” I should my head in disbelief. A “smart” woman like that…
There is price gauging going on today because we don't have true competitive markets. We are an oligarchy with a thousand different brands controlled and operated by a few corporations. In addition, government mandates, dictated by this oligarchy, makes it even worse because they no longer have to compete to sell you anything. You have to take it because the govt says so.
But it is true cost accounting that if you tax the corporation more then prices will rise accordingly.
Particularly people too young - or stupid - or both - to remember Nixon and his "price AND WAGE controls." And people sitting in line for hours at the gas pumps.
Rush Limbaugh used to call them “low information voters”, but I hear you!📻🎙️
This is probably what they count on happening.
At some point we all have to accept that a BIG part of our current trouble is stupid voters.
🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
I know you can’t understand that in Portland. lol. Are you a descendant of the original communists that settled Portland? Just curious.
Corporations are a pass through of government price gouge (in the form of taxes) or other government regulation. They just flow down the oppression from government to the consumer, who is the end user. And let’s be honest—energy is the main cost that has fluctuated since Trump left office. Energy policy is the driving force of inflation. Biden/Harris green energy policies have absolutely fueled inflation. (Pun intended!)
Most states already have a “price gouging” policy. In states of emergency (by federal law we are in a state of emergency) price gouging is illegal. Price gouging is determined by availability and how much of an increase during a specific timeframe. The Democrats just wants to federalize that pre-existing policy.
Isn't it price "guaging"?? Lol.
Yep, Tricky Dick Kamala pronounced it as 'gage'.
Her teleprompter script was probably typed by an assistant who can’t spell. And neither Kamala nor Biden can catch those things on the fly. 🤣
Trump gave her a 6 in reading and a 1 or 2 in speaking.
No matter what was written on the teleprompter, if she thinks she's intelligent enough to be president, she should know it's "gouging" and not "gauging." She didn't catch her "North Korea is our ally" a few years ago during remarks while in the DMZ (and no one apparently corrected her). One would hope that things like that would sound wrong to her ear and she would check herself. I agree Juju, neither Kamala nor Biden can catch those things on the fly - or ever - because they really don't know what they're talking about. Sad - and scary!
Yeah it really is like they are children dressed up and pretending to be adults. Or simply actors who have no knowledge of what they are talking about, only what’s in their lines.
Or like how people with a narcissistic personality disorder or a bi-polar issue has an inflated sense of self? And they talk out their a**? Could be any or all of these things.
It’s disturbing that our country was in their hands for four years 🤦🏼♀️ American needs to grow up and snap out of it.
Spoon feeding. I wonder who is holding the spoon.
I mentioned this above.....do people not remember that Regan imposed wage and price controls?
The gist of my point is that it isn't necessarily a left or right thing. Two wings, same bird of prey....
Nixon not Reagan. Despite his faults Reagan was smart enough not to try that.
On groceries?
Good morning C&C!!
Good morning from cheating Pennsylvania.
I love it when you write this, Kathleen!
Probably will end up in the FEMA Region 3 "camp" when the election gets stolen again.
I keep thinking that too, but we’ll be in good company! 😄
🤣🤣🤣
We can flee our Blue City gulags from Pittsburgh and Philadelphia and hide out in the northern mountain areas. I have considered joining an Amish community.
I don't have GPS or a smartphone. I always tell people I haven't quite gone full Amish yet.
At least living with the Amish we would be eating healthier.
I get every bit of food I eat from the Amish. They are truly saving us and I can't understand why they do it.
We will be prisoner pen pals. I promise!
We might want to learn Morse Code too and how to use invisible ink.
On it! 🤣🤣
I keep trying to encourage ppl to find alternatives if they are on prescription meds. There is a misconception that withdrawal only applies to controlled substances. Diet is a helpful part of the process.
Easier said then done for some people.
Lot of veterans I know are dealing with chronic pain from their military service.
And exercise is not always an option.
Sorry...but too many vets have been injured in service to this country.
This election gets stolen I’m probably gonna end up dead. I sure as hell am not going to prison.
Me too!
Haha and cheating Michigan
The Michigan trio of witches is the worst 😞

I guess it's not REALLY cheating if she kinda knows what's going on when you're at the office late and bombing Belgrade. Not an Open marriage exactly but a very understanding one anyway.
Serbs are still pissed at us.
The Bill Clinton of states?
Hahaha!
Morning
Good morning from beautiful Mount Dora, Florida!
Good morning!
Good morning from Ft Myers FL!
Good morning from Voter fraud Detroit
🌅
Good morning from corrupt Illinois! (Thanks Chicago)
Guess it's time to stock up on toilet paper again.
Four years ago we couldn’t find toilet paper, today we can’t afford T paper….(Not my original thought)
Unfortunately...funny...but true.
Uh oh … I’m almost out!
You can always use the extra to barter.
The Poles, when they were under Soviet domination, would purchases items in the stores, even if they didn't need them, to be used to barter later.
🤔. I do that with other stuff, I didn’t think about TP because I don’t care about TP.
Good idea. I will add that to my list!

I remember the WIN campaign - "Whip Inflation Now" by President Gerald Ford.
Of course, I also remember odd/even gas lines too.
For the youngsters here...a link is provided:
https://www.history.com/news/ford-inflation-win-program
I remember waiting for 3 hours in gas lines. Some cars ran out of gas waiting in line.
1973… gas lines… waiting… fretting you’d get to the pump before your car/truck ran out of gas… it’s the first time I reasoned the same solutions our witty illustrious Jeff Childers has today… I thought, if EVERYONE… every single person refused to buy gas just one preselected day, the gas wars would stop” …. A silent but screaming loud protest… but alas, a unanimous united front of all citizens joining in together…. I’ve sadly realized since is unrealistic dreaming… the divided and conquered chasm is far to wide…
The good news is, it doesn't take everyone, or even a majority. If even 15% stopped buying gas for three days, it would shock the system. Margins are tight. More importantly, stop buying stuff inside the store. No drinks, no snacks, no nothing. That's where they make the real money. If we did that for a week, they would feel the pain.
I say this about everything! Don’t like NFL / NBA prices STOP paying them!! It would only take one game.
🎯👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
So Maureen, I was in college in a state far from my hometown when my mom was rushed to hospital. I had to drive home filling a gas can first to fill my car's tank all the way home. It was ok to fill a gas can on an "off" day, but not your car. Insanity.
Yes, the lines went on for miles.
Similar to Cuba only different. But not much.
Yeah, our cars were newer.

Nice list of practical tips and to my fellow Brits, I give you Mr. Frank Wright. Please read and implement: https://frankwright.substack.com/p/how-to-fight-back
Outstanding FrankWright substack article 🎯 Thank you for sharing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is all great stuff. I’m afraid we are way beyond this point. When it gets bad enough, like another stolen election, those of us capable will rise up. They can’t kill us all. And many more will die trying. And then we can clean the real mess out.
Good morning coffee drinkers and fellow travelers in this space ship call planet Earth.
May The Lord bless us all in this beautiful day.
I can think about plan C for Clinton or M for big Mickie, not the mouse….
Don't forget those two awaiting a ride back to planet earth.
“They could use the many snitch hotlines to mass-report government accounts and public officials' posts for spreading hate or disinformation.”
I particularly like this one 😬
While pedestrians can slow traffic, vehicles can too by never getting off of roundabouts….just drive the circles 10+ times before getting off😀
"Look kids, Parliament, Big Ben" on repeat.

I am inclined to go the opposite way. Rather than malicious compliance, I’d engage in malicious non compliance.
If they arrest one guy, three hundred need to do the same thing the next day. If they arrest them, three thousand the next day.
They can’t jail everyone. Yes, it sucks to be the first, but someone has to do that live free or die number if anyone is going to live free.
The problem is that no one will follow. Even conservatives are comfortable in their day to day, enough so not to disrupt their own life …. For jail…. For their country….
IMO, the Ukraine incursion into Russia was a bonehead move.
The Russians are blocking an exit.
The Ukrainians are surrounded and will be completely wiped out.
Unless Uncle Sugar gives the Penis-Piano-Playing Cocaine Cowboy Dwarf nukes, it's pretty much over.
Ukraine has become the place where even a nerdly incel can find a wife, since almost all makes under 40 were sacrificed to the God of Putin Hate Cannon Fodder.
Vicki Nulan should be proud.
“Unless Uncle Sugar gives the Penis-Piano-Playing Cocaine Cowboy Dwarf nukes, it's pretty much over”. — 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
BTW, great handle-Peregrine!!
Given that dead Slavs was a primary goal she likely is…although the depression eating probably continues unabated 🫠
I don't follow the war closely, only reports from those who do. And basically, it looks to be as you say, a bone head move. It's the kind of thing desperate people do.
Also, has America become so war exhausted with all it's inventory depleted that America is now de facto kind of demilitarized? Or even now unmasked as a second rate power, at least compared to Russia, and to some extent China. And in a war with Iran, could the United States sustain against drone warfare and hypersonic aircraft carrier sinking missiles?
I am not saying that the Americans could not make trouble and be very destructive. Just that the United States might not have the decisive upper hand it used to have. And what really gives me pause is this, the response to Houthis. There did not seem to be any real effective response which could negate the threat, end the matter.
“Vlad, the Ukrainians are mounting an offensive”
Putin-“ Hold my borscht “
If the Russians get the surrounded troops to surrender first, that would be a great photo-op.
Only way that miserable traitor can get laid. Lain?
