Florida slams my county for liberal excess; Trump nukes DEI at the root by ending a 50-year legal disaster; Jaguar’s Bud Liting exposes post-pandemic political fault lines; and more.
A few days ago in a parking lot, a car model I've been interested in buying pulled in next to me and I intended to talk to the driver about their experience with it. That is until I got a look at her. She was wearing a mask ... while alone ... in the tightly closed car!
Yesterday, I was at a local farmers’ market. Yes, it was packed, but this guy had a whole get up with a hat that had a flap that wrapped around his face. I couldn’t see the bottom half, but I’m sure he was probably wearing a mask under that. He was an old white dude.
I’ve also been seeing people not only wearing masks but those cheap gloves. They have been terrorized and are definitely touched in the head.
Because where I live in So Cal, these really are the people (white people. I am white, by the way) who are the most deranged about this. Actually, they kind of tie with the young Asians.
Got it. All you had to say was So Cal. Where I live, rural WI, we don't have a lot of that other than the transplants from metro areas that suckled from the government teet. Sorry, you couldn't pay me enough to live on the left coast.
If what Jeff says is true that the covid pLandemic actually "ended up in unlocking reality" and exposing the delusion, corruption and crime we have been suffering for decades, that is awesome!
I still want every motherfucker who put the pLandemic in place, stole our natural rights and freedoms, injected so many with poison, murdered so many, to suffer immensely for their crime against humanity. What they did with the covid pLandemic was an intentional, scripted effort to destroy the USA and other countries trying desperately to be like the USA - and install global marxism with chyna as the model. There MUST be Meaningful, SERIOUS Accountability.
It appears that, at last, reality, that which is demonstrably true, as James Howard Kunstler writes in his “Clusterfuck” substack, is being rediscovered. Like you, I want the vax criminals to suffer interminable regret for their actions/crimes.
I'm having a hard time gettin a handle on this, because one of the most mentally versatile and smart people I knew was still wearing his mask, alone, in his car. Took the jab on Day 1 it was available and offered to help me jump the line. He is definitely not stupid, not sure about his politics, very learned but dismisses any contradictory information he hears in all of the areas is proficient (ie. Gun instructor in all types of weapons, geologist, ex military, spelunker, much more) . It is a real puzzle to me, and we have basically drifted way apart after my refusalt o get jabbed.
Or the consequences of being wrong about the jab are so severe that people can’t admit it was a bad thing because it would break down their entire world view - and they might have to suffer from the guilt of knowing they made a terrible choice that negatively affected themselves & those they love (think parents who jabbed their kids).
Yes, this. The cognitive dissonance would be overwhelming to them. And think of how the dominoes would fall once they knew Covid was a US/China man-made virus that was made as a bioweapon & the military had created the vaccine long before Warp Speed, which was nothing but ramping up production of the already-created vaccine. And then follow the breadcrumbs that the rest of us saw in the beginning. If they'll lie so egregiously about public health and they know people will die if they lie, and they ALL do it anyway, then you can't ever unsee it.
100 % correct. And kids who jabbed their elderly parents to protect them, though I know one who knows it was bad now, obviously regrets it , but glad her daughter did not get it.
He’s in a stupor. He is quite literally stupid. And it’s often a hallmark of genius to get into stupors. They might regularly solve advanced math & excel in science, but they forget to brush their hair or wash their clothes. They are in stupors.
A lot of the obsessive jabbers are now blaming the Covid virus itself for all their subsequent health problems. A kind of medical ‘get out of jail free’ card.
Not to say the bio-weapon isn’t horrible in and of itself - we’re both unjabbed but definitely harmed by the virus - but blaming it for everything is just a way to avoid facing up to the jab
Paula, that is so true! I have friends I have to avoid saying anything to about the harm obviously done by the jabs. They make poor excuses. Also the masks wearers! Closer to 80 than 70 and gave 45 years to “do no harm”! Oh how I loved my patients and families. Justice has to be done! Thanks, Jeff Childers, for explaining all of today’s wrap up!!
There were a few people who were hopelessly vulnerable to the fear peddled at that time. They swallowed hard and fast and the hook sank deeply to their core. It was like a poisoning and they never stood a chance
I believe it was way more than a few, like millions. Also, so many people, perhaps even a majority, chose the path of least resistance. the go along to get along mindset that so fouled this country and led us to where we were in the Biden regime. Clif High is saying now in a podcast we are listening to that if you were part of the herd, you had no free will, no agency, so you did what the herd did.
Know that feeling. Jimmy crack corn and I don't care. They essentially told me to pound sand when I tried to help them with medical and nutrition issues, so good luck to them I say
My brother is the same! Took the jab, & all the boosters, but would never wear a mask. He hates govt, hates rules & regulations, & hates religion. He's a Trump voter, but I can't understand his love of the shots. I've sent him numerous articles about the danger of them, Jeff's C&C, but he'll just say yada yada, he just got another booster, why don't I get one? Have tried for years to get him to go to church, pray for him daily, but he's refused. BUT thanks to covid, he started going! why? His state, NM, closed churches, a preacher in his town sued the state to open & he won, so he started going to his church, regularly. Got his wife to go with him. Never misses a service now, even goes to men's weekly breakfasts. Never EVER thought I would say it, but here I'm saying it. Thank you, God, for covid, it got my brother & family saved.
Sometimes it’s both. But I see people that I wonder how on earth they still can’t see it——young and college aged——that’s political. They might also be stupid, but I see people that are ”just stupid” all the time.
Despite the latest information coming from HHS about how Biden changed the Obamacare rules for COVID treatment, a friend of mine, who works for Kaiser, insists that COVID was killing everyone. She’s in the finance department. I have shared research paper after research paper with her. She tells me they’re flawed and biased.
People died of things people always die from: heart disease, cancer, diabetes, old age. The only difference? Instead of blaming their deaths on these absolute morbidities, they unlawfully blamed it on the pLandemic. There have been studies now done which point clearly to the fact that the pLandemic was pushed by using a bogus PCR test, an irresponsible, delusional, corrupt government and media, and a medical profession which, in the pursuit of greed and power, failed their oath and their foundational ethical principle to First, Do NO Harm (Primum Non Nocere)!
I have a friend whose a nurse and she iindicated several nurses died during covid due to working overtime shifts and being exposed over and over to covid.
Also have anothernurse friend in New York who worked there during the pandemic and said she saw many deaths. I think the truth lies somewhere oin the middle . Compromised people with other illnesses were more susceptible.
I have a friend who took her grandfather into the ER because they had COVID. As instructed, they waited until it was hard for them to breathe. My friend said, “No Remdesivir,” multiple times. they ignored her and gave her grandfather the drug. Within 15 minutes, her grandfather had swelled up, turned purple, and died.
I have another friend whose husband went into the hospital. They wouldn’t let her in. They put him on a respirator, and within days, he was dead.
I think lots of those people just lacked discernment. I'm not that smart but it felt wrong and fishy to me from the get go. Not to mention I didnt succumb to the fear mongering. I just loaded up on all the supplements our brave docs told us to take and only had a cold for 2 days the entire time.
Interestingly I started a group in my neighborhood called NOVAs, it was for NOtVAccinated. We were fighting against the Invasion of the Body Snatchers (Vaxaholics) 🤦♀️
Great idea for a group! Here in NoVA…most people LOVE the vx despite people dropping like flies…all ages. Not many ‘tolerant’ people here - so we keep our status quiet. I just shrug when they mention all the deaths, cancers, blood clots etc…..they wouldn’t believe me anyways…..🙄
The same way here. Hubby and I were kicked out of several neighborhood clubs because we refused to vomit up our heath status to anyone who asked. When one particularly offensive yenta asked me if I had my “vaccines” I replied, “As long as we’re probing for private information, do you enjoy anal sex?” I saw the back of her pretty fast!
And yet NOW it is forbidden to ask when someone in good health drops dead at a gas station, like my healthy, 62 year old cousin did. Maybe they all died of fentanyl……
I am thinking of wearing a mask for my power walk later today due to all the wildfire smoke here. Yes there is a use for all those expired N95 leftover masks in my inventory.
As a former wildland firefighter...if you can't take the smoke, get off the fire line. (Did that sound tough enough for you all? LOL...The US Forest Service had a Consent Decree back in the 80's to hire more women and later with Hispanics. Surprised the black folk didn't jump in on all that, but I digress.) Seems that those evil white males had all the jobs sewn up ever since Gifford Pinchot and TR. Jobs like district fire mgmt officers, now called "Chiefs" at the GS 11 level were flown at a 7/9/11 level so a GS 5 (female) could apply...she'd get up to speed eventually ... 😒😒😒 So glad I got out of THAT line of work. But I did my part for the sisterhood. Made my diehard scorched earth feminist mother Dhimmicrat proud for awhile, until I became a Republican. 😁
Our son is on a Hotshot crew, currently on the Gifford Fire in CA. They had to abandon their fire line when it spread from 5,000 to 30,000 acres quickly. Prayers are appreciated. The women he has worked with are tough.
Yes, that fire is right over the mountain from my house. Praying for your son's safety and that of ALL the crews on the fire. It's burning in heavy fuels that haven't seen fire for awhile. Our "forest" here is more brush than timber. So conditions are ripe for very large area ignition. Scary stuff. And yes, being a woman on a fire crew requires being one tough mutha!
I spent my life on the streets of Miami during the 70s-80s-90s. I wore a badge. I could do that job- 27 successful years on the front lines kind of document that- but I could never have been a firefighter. Different physical job requirements. I am a small female.
Don't give me any grief about street fighting. I always won. We had tools that equalized. Proper communication does a lot for prevention, but doesn't work against stupid, crazy, or druggies/drunks. So, we knew what to do to effect a lawful arrest.
There are people who don't belong in all sorts of jobs. Always been the case.
I never, ever thought about that "sisterhood" nonsense. I sought competence and gender never entered into it. THAT was part of my success. I was and still am accepted by the "brotherhood," which is non-gendered.
Good. I like you even better. The "girl" people used to drive me crazy. We fought so hard to be accepted and then they started coming along. Sadly, I see it being worse now. Some "Repbulican men" want us back barefoot and pregnant. Some women buy into it and I'm glad for them as long as it doesn't cut out the ones, like me, who never wanted that life.
Exactly C! Many of us realize the purpose and life stolen from us (outsource your babies and go to the office, so fun!) but even that stolen life was never meant for all women! There walk among us a different breed of women and those must be allowed to work alongside our men where they bring the unique strengths of the feminine psyche to traditionally male jobs. My bestie from hs is ine of those … I raised five babies and she kicked ass as a state police officer and rose to captain before retiring at age 50. I could not have done what she did but she is now traveling the world with her husband and honorary auntie to my kids. There is so much room for both kinds and we must fight for each other!
Susan I see now that you were. Were you on a hotshot crew like your son. I was on one in Montana, the Bitterroot Hot Shots, in my college summers in the 70's. Once in a rare while we saw a woman on a crew. Unusual sight for sure.
Yes, I was a wildland firefighter, starting up in Region 6 (Washington State, Mt Baker-Snoqualmie NF, one of two women on a 10 person BD crew for 3 seasons) then got my one season on a hotshot crew, in Yellowstone NP in 1982, where it rained all summer. (Only female on the crew) Then went down to North Zone R5 (Shasta-Trinity NF) on an engine crew. Did that for a season, then went back up to 6 for one season leading a crew on the Willamette NF, and got to go back to Yellowstone when it was ablaze in '88. Then back to the Shasta-T for another season or so (engine + hand crew) and then moved to a Fire Prevention (FPT) job on the Plumas for 7 years. At that point, I realized that I was not cut out to be a crew boss leading 20 souls into a dangerous wildland fire situation. My position was being cut from the Prevention program (low "man" on the totem pole so to speak) So I made the decision to give up my career as a firefighter and a federal employee and I went to household management training in Denver instead, two years later. How's that for my 🔥 CV?
Susan, that's a pretty impressive resume. As to the summer of rain, we had one summer like that. Spent weeks working in the rain piling brush praying for fires. I only did 3 summers. I was a sawer on the 2-saw, 2 men to a saw, sawsquad. When I got accepted to dental school during the 3rd summer, my fingers and limbs increased in value so I bailed on the forest fires and chainsaws. I imagine the Yellowstone fire was quite an experience. Have you read any of Norman Maclean's books on casualties on fires, "Young Men and Fire" on the first firefighting deaths, smokejumpers near Helena (1949), and his son completing one of Norman's and writing more of his own. His book on the Storm King fire in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, and the deaths, especially one of the 3 Smoke Jumpers, Don Mackey, from my home town of Hamilton. I was deeply touched by all of the books, especially about the Thirty Mile fire near Okangan, Washinton, that killed 3 young women, ages 18, 19, and 21.
My husband was the foreman on the Los Prietos Hotshots (late 70's) and he had two women work with him--one was the first woman smikejumper ever. Those two women were extraordinary firefighters. 🫡🫡🫡🔥🔥🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
For the first few months of Covidmania, I wore a filthy, dust-covered construction-grade one with a valve, gaping at the top, bottom, and sides, every time I had to go into a place that required them. My own political statement.
Best one was a young woman somewhere in Europe who was trying to make a bank withdrawal without a mask. She finally said "fine'. took off her panties, and put them on her face. They gave her the money. If that didn't show anyone who still used their brain it was all about obedience.
I bought a bunch of those to wear when I realized that masking was not going to go away. Unfortunately those didn't work for being in airports or planes. I exhibit in dog sports and they all required masking, even outdoors. So I wore and a bunch of people wore these types of masks. I had friends that were almost passing out running in double layer cloth masks and I handed out fresh ones to them. Eventually just about all of the sane people were wearing these fishnet, bling masks and clubs started to not enforce masking at all.
I used Battenberg lace for several flights-haha. Swirly with huge air holes. Took it off for long swigs from my water bottle, too, while a pit bull flight attendant side eyed me.
At work, admin put up clear plastic shower curtains between our desks to…prevent the airborne deadly pathogen from getting around.
And then “public health” went berserk, and the medical community folded like a lawn chair.
Eh, I spoke to someone who works for the EPA. N95 not that great. I also know someone who does construction work. When he finishes sanding and is done for the day and takes his mask off, there’s still particulates under the mask. Yes, he knows how to fit it properly.
I’m not saying you should mask for something like that, merely that you might want a better one.
I wore a rebellious red harem net veil with gold beads. When a nurse at Kaiser told me that my mask wouldn’t provide protection, another nurse stepped in and said, “Yes, it will” and let me in. 😂 Got it on line at bellydancers.com
Worked in a contract lab - had to wear a P100 and pass a pulmonary function test and a fit test every year to enter the chemical repository. Those will keep everything out with the right cartridges!
N95 masks that I lived in 12 hours a day, in 120 average heat, pulling on four foot pipe wrenches, do no harm. Get rid of that thinking, it isn’t true.
It's not so hard...Take a walk through one of your local schools. elementary through high school, heck even college. You'll see the mental carnage that took place. Jay Leno used to spotlight the "intelligent college students" on his show. Now all you need to do is talk to a local 15-20ish something about anything that doesn't involve an Iphone
I have always walked fast even when the grocery stores mandated masks to buy food. Breathing rate is only slightly elevated. I will find out later today if it is too restrictive for my 20 minute walk.
We had to be fitted for the N95 masks when I worked! They were for patients who had tuberculosis. They “said” the later TB was worse than the original! Hmm! Makes me wonder. For sure, I don’t want to rebreath CO2!!
21 years ago when I was in dose dense chemo, I was really limited where I could go. the big "evil" was bacteria. Bacteria are huge compared to virus. There are immune suppressed people who wear masks, but still must be careful. I have a friend right now who is battling for his life because of a bacterial infection he got as a result of surgery. He's ok outside, but doesn't dare go inside anywhere.
I feel sorry for the people who really are immune suppressed because they get lumped in with the "masktoids."
This is really great point. One thing we know the vaccine did is cause accelerated cancers and compromise immune systems. In such cases they may be wearing a mask to protect themselves from certain things in the environment because of an existing health condition, and not for Covid or virtue signaling, etc. We need to remain mindful that there are other valid reasons for masks, and we might be seeing more of them because of so many new cancers?
You also have a point. My cancer pre-dated Covid by many years. There was no thought about masks. I was told to stay away from the "dirty places." Grocery stores and anywhere there are kids! I agree that we must not be too fast to judge some who might have compromised immune systems for a multitude of reasons. Anyone driving alone with a mask on is a Masktoid! I think most are. A dear friend complained of razor throat over the weekend. Dr Mom (me) took over an assortment of OTC meds. He went to the doctor today and it's the razor throat covid. It's going around in SW Florida. IF someone has a prescription drug that is in the protocols (Ivermectin, antibiotics etc. come to mind), I'll warn people to not give it to others outside immediate household. IF something goes wrong you do not want to have given Rx drugs out. Those people are on their own. It is not worth the Federal consquences.
Ivermectin is now OTC in a number of states. Go there!
My son that we just moved to TX has a fever and a razor sore throat. He called me yesterday. It’s his second week at his brand new job and he can’t call in sick. I previously gave him ivermectin and all the other goodies like Azithromyacin etc when he was in college, and so I counseled him on dosages for being symptomatic yesterday. But he forgot some of his back up vitamins and medicines like HCQ and zinc in our backup fridge so I priority mail expressed it to him today hoping it gets there by tomorrow. His sore throat was really bad but it was much better today after a proper dose of IVM. Still it’s sore so he’s gonna use a sore throat lozenge to get to sleep tonight. He still has a low grade fever too. Was so proud of him because the first thing he started to do yesterday was use the netti pot with the xylitol saline solution. He remembered! But yeah, he is family so I can help this way and if it didn’t go well or not work it’s not like I imposed on another family.
That's exactly what I meant. I like the IMAhealth.org protocols. We use Nyquil around here at night. It has lots of goodies in it and makes us sleep.
You are wonderful to have the presense of mind to get the stuff to him. I think IVM is the main thing. Am told Zinc keeps the virus from replicating and Quercetin helps in many ways. Do your own research of course. I'm not anything mecical.
I have a dear friend who’s possibly overdoing it, but she is very careful in public and still wears a mask because she doesn’t want to get something her immune system won’t handle.
Get the full chemical mask with cartridges. That's what I wore outside during the aftermath of the Paradise fire. Don't take any chances of that crap getting in your lungs.
I did check into it and N95 mask has a native pore size of 0.3 micron (without electric charge) and wildfire smoke has a diameter of 0.4 to 0.7 microns. However I suspect the range of particles in wildfire smoke is much larger. An N95 mask should catch most of it.
I believe it might catch particulate, but wonder about the gasses? House fires have a lot of burning plastic....I'd want a full O2 type bottle /mask like my husband wore as a fire fighter.
Before Covid, for pollen in the spring, I have been known to don a mask. I am sensitive to trees as their leaves come out. I am surrounded by trees where I live.
60 years ago when I was at cub scout camp one of the other kids had a breathing attack (probably asthma) and the scout leaders solved his attack by wrapping his cub neckerchief around his face as a simple bandit style mask. It did the trick.
I spent the weekend in the company of a tiny group of artists, mostly retired, in a workshop on eco-friendlier etching. The most accomplished printmaker there was also the most unbearable. Though she proclaimed that she believed in science, was a lifetime Episcopalian, on Saturday she erupted in rage. “I want to be able to watch Big Bird on NPR(sic) with my grandchildren.”
I ignored the NPR/PBS confusion, and let her know Sesame Street is now on HBO. “Then I’d have to pay!” she wailed. Well, I remarked, Children’s Television Workshop was very well paid in the deal.
Maybe I incited her to higher levels of angst, for the next words out of her mouth was, “I want to kill him. Somebody needs to kill him. What is he doing, adding a ballroom to the White House? I told my therapist he needs to be killed and she didn’t disagree.”
I didn’t want to fight in this workplace, but observed that my husband had served in military counterintelligence and cautioned me never to make statements like that…she picked up her iPhone and said “They’re probably listening in right now.”
Yesterday she started in again. This time, I said firmly, “Please don’t say that again. We don’t need anymore political violence. It would be terrible for this country.”
THAT SHE WOULD SAY WHAT SHE SAID OUT LOUD IN A GROUP OF STRANGERS IS REALLY TERRIBLE.
Wow. That is a broken, broken person. You actually did a very charitable thing in asking her not to say it again. She may not recognize it as such, but it was.
All the TDS people say exactly the same things! It’s very strange. Yet they offer no viable plan for an improved way to run things. It’s just about killing, removing, defeating, and shouting over the people who still prefer reality to their wackadoodle world view.
Our souls need something to believe in, something to be devoted to. Take away their God and they will desperately and blindly cling to political overlords. It was all orchestrated.
This reminds me of the common observation that[some of] the most educated Phd's often show the highest "ill-adapability" to make simple common sense decisions whereas, redneck Jim-Bob aces the quiz.
People without God as a moral compass turn to Gov, which is like trying to get nourishment from the wax fruit in grandma’s fruit bowl. Pretty sad how secularism has flourished in the past decades.
You should see the look on their face when the Secret Service shows up at their door. I had to provide "uniform presence)- so the person would know it was for real- a couple of times when they did that! HILARIOUS. All of a sudden they realized it was a Federal offense and not a joke.
Hard core leftist with an empty soul. Typical, they want you and me to pay for their recreation (cartoons?) and won't even hear the words Trump is paying for the ballroom, no taxes involved.
I was just at a local homeschool curriculum fair(MT) this past weekend. There was a table for “Girls Thrive” and the attendant had a mask on. Her table might as well been on Mars for how lonely she looked. Nobody was talking to her. Why would anyone want to sign their daughter’s up for that!?
Talked to my liberal daughter who lives in MN yesterday. Said she has been wearing a mask when outdoors for sustained periods due to the air quality index being very high as a result of the wildfires. I kept my mouth shut and didn't ask about where she read about the efficacy of said masks for smoke as I wanted to keep the peace.
But what is up with the Canadian wildfires...again? Has this been an annual occurrence and I was just not paying attention? No idea what our AQI is in MO but we have been treated to milky skies the last several days that they are also attributing to these 'wildfires'?? Our temps all weekend were in the 70's though so spent most of the weekend outdoors enjoying the brief heat reprieve and haven't looked it up.
I have lived in mid Michigan all my life. May and June of 2023 were the first time in my memory we ever had Canadian wildfires impact the northern U.S. states with smoke haze. 2025 is turning out to be worse. I smell smoke and a rat…
The fires usually start in BC. I lived in Alberta for 35 years (next to BC) and there are always fires in BC and we had hazy skies in AB. Now, there are fires in Eastern Canada as well. It’s bizarre. I’m looking at hazy skies this summer from Nova Scotia. They never say how they started - some guy tossing a cig out the window? I read a media account in 2021 or so (same lying media they all are) and they interviewed a “conspiracy theorist” who said he saw flares coming down from the sky. That was in a small town in BC where one of our good, outspoken doctors was questioning the Covid shots for his indigenous patients and telling the chief medical officer in BC of all the side effects he had seen. He thought at that time she would actually care. Shortly after that, his town and medical records burned down. Kind of like the Maui theories. A rat indeed.
That’s what I am saying. They are claiming there are over a 100 separate fires in remote Ontario. No indication of how all these fires are starting separately, no real pictures of the fires blazing and no media buzz accept for weather quality alerts. How are Ontario wildfires affecting North and South Dakota? Every northern tier state all the way to New England is being affected. The U.P. Of Michigan had wildfires too, regularly. 30 years ago the Seney National fire broke out scorching a 100,000 acres. Took awhile to get it out, but no smoke haze down here. This is NOT normal, which makes it suspect.
I have a friend in MI. Here's the story she gave me:
"The local Indians used to do land clearing, but the government of Canada stopped that. So now there are wildfires when there weren't wildfires in the past."
Sorry, not buying that either. I do not doubt your friend from MI may have been told that, but NO. This has just started occurring the last couple years.
I'm visiting in upstate NY and the air quality is terrible right now. I just had this conversation yesterday. We remember this rarely happening as kids...maybe the problem is forest mismanagement.
I do remember growing up when they would do controlled burns in some of the grasslands in KS that we would get that smoke in KC if conditions were right. But I don't recall issues with more distant fires - although the AQI (air quality index) I think is a more recent thing? I remember daily reporting on the pollen count, as I used to have seasonal allergies, although eating local honey has really helped.
Massive numbers of dead trees, many from pine beetle damage in BC and Alberta is part of it. Forest management is largely controlled by the federal government who love pushing their climate tax agenda. The central part of the country has been dry according to people there. Arson added to that.
I read yesterday that the latest wildfire was started when an osprey dropped its prey which landed on some powerlines causing the lines to spark and then setting the fire. Isn't that a crazy chain of events??
Wow. The closest analogy I can make is when our neighborhood had a brief power outage last year that was attributed to a hapless squirrel that decided chewing on a power line was a good idea that led to a blown transformer. The squirrel didn't make it. But there was no fire?!
I just came back to Chicago from TX, and immediately noticed the differences in the sky. For the entire time I was in TX every single day, all day long, the sky was storybook blue with white cottonball clouds. Since I’ve been back it’s been nothing but haze with no blue being visible even when the sun is basically unobstructed. 75 here feels just like their 95. I remember always having skies like TX but I can count on one had the number of days this summer this year that had a sky like that. I really can only remember two days. It’s sad.
Same here in upper north eastern KS. Not today it’s beautiful but Friday was awful with low hanging smoke everywhere. Read it was Canadian wildfire related. I only remember that starting last year. They are burning out their farmers and lower income white population to make room for more immigrants and LGBTQRSTUV.
I think we'll see mask wearers here in the US forever. I say this because since the late 70s I've been to many international airports across the globe. Even as far back as the early 80's, I would see masked people in these airports. The common denominator was that they were all of Asian descent. I remember thinking it was so odd.
Thanks to the covid years of scaring people via power abusive politicians and "experts", I'm sure it created a group of insecure people who just can't intellectually or emotionally give them up. I'm not talking about the occasional immune compromised or chronically ill person but rather physically healthy people. And, let's face it. We're all now used to seeing masked faces even if we think it's foolish.
Wearing facemasks has been common in Asia for a long time. I was at a conference that included some HS students poster science projects in 2019. One was from an Asian student whose project looked at mask wearing and found no correlation between levels of illness in areas where masks were common (like on subways in Japan) and lower levels of infection. It was very well researched and wish I had taken a picture of her poster when covid hit. She said that in cities where people are packed together people wore masks to both shield them from getting coughed on and such but also to keep from spreading their germs to others. My daughter lived in Shanghai for a year in 2013 and said that some women also wore them to shield their face from the sun - that being light skinned was a status symbol and so they didn't want to get a tan.
My granddaughter worked as a teacher in Thailand for a year. She was shocked when someone told her she should wear big brim hats and sun lotion so her skin wouldn't darken...sorry, in their words: "darken to make her look too black". She was really shocked by this kind of racism there, didn't expect it.
Yes, she said Chinese people are racist - light skinned people have higher social status than dark skinned. In HS in 2010 she went on a class trip where they went to Beijing. Xl'an and Shanghai. At the time she had blonde hair (she now dies it various shades of brown), blue eyes and does have a pale complexion. Random people, especially in Xi'an where there were fewer tourists, would come up and ask to take selfies with her like she was some kind of celebrity, mostly young women. It was more rare the year she was in Shanghai as (at least at the time, Covid may have changed that) it is a pretty international city and the area she lived in had a lot of US and other Western companies with employees living and working in Shanghai.
The Canadians have been extremely lax about taking the necessary steps to control the wildfires. We’ve been in Canada the past 2 summers as well as this summer and the wildfires have impacted so many Midwestern states, including MN, WI, IL, M0, IA and KS! They need to be more proactive because our air quality has been very unhealthy for a week now. Come on Canada, get your act together!!!
LOL - I do wear a mask in the fall when if it's dry out when using my leaf blower, been doing that since pre-covid as it's preferable to blowing dirt out of my nose for the next 24 hours. But that's for dust, not germs.
Think of the favor they are doing you though. With a single glance you automatically know their political beliefs and how tiresome they will be to deal with.
Someone sick, who should be home rather than spreading whatever.. someone who is hiding their identy in public.. or someone who believes their own press releases!
Only a surgeon should wear a mask to keep particulate matter out of his mouth while performing his duties, He wears eye protection for the same reason.
Their politics have become a full blown religion, devotion to the “orthodoxy” above one’s own intelligence, blind faith in it at any and all costs. I’ll only give the one true God my steadfast devotion. Everything else gets my skepticism and microscope now.
Yes! Just spoke with a young security guard at our local courthouse that came over to our CourtSide Ministry table for prayer. I told her she didn't have to wear that silly mask with us and she admitted it was her bad complexion...I wanted to tell her to apply ivermectin to it but we weren't there to hand out skincare advice ...
I never considered that, but I bet there is a noticeable difference in how people interact with someone that has acne but wearing a face mask and someone not wearing one. That difference may be a welcome reprieve for the poor acne sufferer.
And adults! Mine got worse in adulthood and I struggled for about 20 years. It was awful to live with. Luckily post menopause fixed it and now I have the skin everyone else had when I was younger. It also paved the way for more youthful skin in my older age, even if there are a few scars, while everyone else has far more wrinkles than I do at a much younger age than me.
But … people are VERY unkind to those that struggle with acne. No matter how clean I was as an individual with my hygiene (to an OCD degree) others ALWAYS assumed I didn’t wash my face enough or I was less clean than them and made sure to mention that. I wasn’t and it was really insulting to me. I had to wear a lot of base makeup to cover my blemishes but of course that only made it worse.
They also stare at your blemishes while they talk distracting both you and them. I sort of understand as my youngest struggles the way I did, and I get distracted looking at his face, wanting to help him figure it out. We used the acutane treatment for my older two and it helped immensely, but it carries significant risks if you have any neurological or mental conditions. So we decided not to have or youngest use it since he was very anxious and depressed when younger. But now he struggles really badly with acne as an adult. 🫤 It does clear well on a Keto or carnivore diet and we proved that to him three years ago when his face cleared up. We are trying to get him back on that diet again to help him with a few other things too.
I struggled with adult acne also until I started to use prescription strength retin-A, aka tretinoin, on my face (over 40 years ago). it also helps with effects of aging. It is expensive in the US but I buy it from alldaychemist.com for about $9/tube of gel.
This is also in response to your other post on this… LED light treatment is another adjunctive treatment for acne. One is called a celluma light (I think that’s the brand), there are likely multiple others. It has red and blue light settings, one is for anti aging, another for acne, and yet another for “aches and pains”. Many med spas offer that as a treatment series in addition to acne facials with certain products. I had mild to moderate acne as a teen, so I have a passion for people suffering with this.
It actually makes zits come to a head more easily. It’s like putting a warm poultice on a boil with all that warm air circulating, but ultimately making a bacterial cesspool!
Bus drivers wear masks to muffle any disparaging remarks of passengers, ie: hiding. And when a passenger gets on the bus, then pulls up the mask, it's all I can do to not roll my eyes.
Our 'company', of course, made us wear masks during COVID, so drivers are making do with the elements that they wanted us to use, to their own benefit, now.
I heard covid is making the rounds again and people, both jabbed and unjabbed, are taking a long time to recover. So they are either sick or still brainwashed that cloth masks work.
Even the CDC has relegated “Covid” to the “cold” or “flu” category. I wish people would just STOP with the panic porn. Covid has become the new dreaded “C” word.
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ[.]

Grandbaby update: Mama and baby will likely be discharged today! Thank you all so much for your prayers and love sent our way. I can’t share a photo here, but just imagine the absolute cutest, fuzzy-headed little mouse with a tiny but mighty mewl of a cry. And to see my “40-baby” and her husband adoring their baby is an indescribably surreal joy. Thank you again for praying! God is faithful and good. — Janice
We just became first time grandparents not quite 3 months ago and it was a rough go for my daughter, but this little baby girl of hers is adorable and we love her so much!
In many ways it is a very good ad, but not for Jaguar. With a little tinkering, it would make a great ad for the democrat party of 2023, the Trans-AAP, or BLM - very clever, catchy, unique visuals.
If jaguar wants to resurrect their business, they could re-release the e-type Jaguar with all new mechanics (abs brakes, better suspension, etc.) It would restore their reputation immediately.
Beautiful car. I like your idea Charlotte, as Ford did with the mustang, Chevrolet and Dodge did with their classic muscle cars. With modern tech, it would sell!
So much info! I hate to say it, but I've often thought that many of the AWFL's keep the masks to hide their physically ugly faces. It gives them an excuse.
Second, to me reality is crystal clear. For so long we lived in a gray area, not totally being able to tell the differences between things that seemed right and things that seemed wrong. We've always had The Bible to tell us, but it was easy to creep over to the wrong side because it wasn't THAT bad (in our own eyes).
Now it is crystal clear. No creeping. It is full force either bad or good. People have to choose a side and it is clear for anyone to see what side somebody is on.
I agree if you’re just referencing Covid but I find that many political and social issues are complex and shouldn’t be divided into good/evil or right/wrong. We’ve been encouraged to use this binary thinking and it is driving us apart.
Are you kidding...that is exactly what GOD expects us to do. Follow HIM and HIS law rather than man. HE is fulfilling HIS promises of exposing things done in the dark to the light which is truth. HE told us how to heal our lands and we are not doing it.
Here's an example of how liberal: a friend lived most of their adult life in Gainesville. Moved out west - Washington - because the state of Florida was getting "too insane" during covid. Yes, Florida, a state with no restrictions, was, to them, "insane".
This person prior to cv, had recently retired from hospital nursing. Bought all the kool-aid re the shots, no matter what I said about the shots, injuries, etc, screamed at me for my choice that didn't align with her choice, would allow only vaxed people in their home, censored people on an organization's fb site they were in charge of, still has up on fb the stupid virtue signaling vaxed graphics around their photo. The last conversation with this person included them confidently parroting the shots were never supposed to prevent covid or stop the spread. End of relationship.
Wow! That's insane the govt is still running that. I knew someone from the states who got stuck in Australia for the duration of the nightmare. Also refused the vax - so experienced all the bs of the surveillance and not allowed to leave the house
When Australia started lifting things there was hope, but then the Australian airlines wouldn't lift their restrictions. Finally got back around Thanksgiving 2022.
I have a work-from-home colleague from Gainesville whose spouse is employed by the university. Definitely CNN/TDS.
While I like this person, I’m quietly enjoying witnessing the cognitive dissonance as every parroted CNN take crashes and the “conspiracy theories” keep being proved true.
College Town: This refrain once meant it was a cool place to hang-out and listen to music that was not played on the radio. Now it means it is an open-air insane asylum. How to remove Dr. Tar and Professor Feather from power?
1. The immediate answer is to not allow college students of any stripe to vote in local elections unless they grew up there. They aren't invested in the community and their first political act should not be to contribute to the demise of the community.
2. Allow the university students to vote a socialist order at the schools where they are being indoctrinated. The university politburo of students can then mandate that professors live in dorms and be on scholarship instead of tenure.
3. Have a DOGE commission sift through the election system and contributions. Prosecute any criminals involved and sue the large "Foundations" for the funds to correct the problems.
4. Once the obvious corruption is exposed, use that as a catalyst to: Privatize the local school system. Eliminate all funding and political positions. Education should not be a political landing place for lunatics to wash dirty campaign funds.
I have suggested #1 in conversations. Don’t know how to get that through. Most often college kids don’t live in the city where they attend. They “go home” for summer or semester breaks. Unless they live in the city where they attend college (not just live off or on campus) they should not vote there. They should go home to where they came from and vote or absentee vote. My two cents.
Exactly right. Probably it would be better if only taxpayers voted really. Short of that, a person without children (and is in most ways still a child) voting on local school boards is absurd. A person without property voting on how much tax the property owners should pay is another absurdity. What did we expect would happen? When my children try to blame my generation, I have to gently point out to them that it was my generation when we were the same age as they are now.
I encourage my college attending, non-taxpayers, no-rent-paying, chore-avoiding, young roommates (children) to not vote yet. If for no other reason than they are far too busy and concerned with themselves to research candidates or issues. Our broken system could use some of these small and reasonable measures.
Oh, if only… That would be so great. I’m really pro “don’t own property, no vote”. Also, I really wish we could raise the voting age. But, alas, I don’t think we could get that to pass as a law.
That's how our founders originally had it — only landholders could vote. That didn't last long, and then it was only taxpayers and "freemen." When the Emancipation Proclamation freed the slaves, they made the law that former slaves were 3/5 of one person (or vote). Modern liberals claim that means they were considered "less than whole people." No, actually it was to protect the vote where slaves who were still employed by their former masters would be told how to vote, therefore tipping the vote to the largest landholders and former slave holders.
3/5: I think the 3/5 compromise had more to do with representation. It happened in 1787, well before emancipation. It is sort of like what is happening on the Left-Coast now with the illegal slaves that are owned by the Communist elite class. The only real difference is they are counted as 100%. So we went from "Taxation without Representation" to "Representation without Taxation"
My dad told me eons ago, back in the 80s when I was a teenager, that the country was going to have real problems with so many people voting that don’t pay income taxes… he was right.
I would argue it’s not the college students voting that influences the county - it’s the professors and staff that flock to a liberal institution and haven’t had a “real” job and live in Lala land. You have a LARGE population of this political type in one location.
No need to argue LizardFro, you are exactly right. I don't argue with anything that is correct if I can help it. ;). The professors are indeed the root cause that needs to be rooted out. I say, give them their deepest desire and let them become socialist. Only keep it restricted to their own domain. Once their students vote them a small salary or even take away their parking space, they will leave. You'll see, it will be socialism for thee but not for me.
I can't remember that far back. Seems that all my life they've been moving further and further left along with the Democrat party. I'm sure the music industry contributed to the corruption.
It’s terrible. When my father was dying (not of Covid) in 2021, he was only allowed one visitor at a time at N FL Regional in Gainesville. There were a LOT of there, and they wouldn’t let us wait in the lobby…too dangerous. We were relegated to the metal benches outside. Horribly uncomfortable. We did find a work-a-round. We entered through the out-patient wing where we were allowed to wait (why were we safe in out-patient and not in in-patient??). So. Dumb. My father was NOT pleased.
Broward county, too?? I’m glad FL DOGE is looking into both Alachua AND Broward. Robert Runcie, former Superintendent, was the WORST. Graduate of Chiefs for Change…an organization that trains sups to liberalize our schools. DOGE them all. Trim the fat and fire where necessary. Glad Desantis is cleaning house!!
Have not heard of Chiefs for Change, but I keep running across similar programs as that that have infiltrated both local gov and schools. Just read about a teacher mentoring program last week that is in dozens of local school districts (not ours...yet) that reads straight from the DEI script. "cultural competency" "equitable practices" and so on. Folks, this stuff is not going away, it's just rebranding and counting on most people not paying attention.
Nice warning—it’s very true. This is how totalitarians take over, first force people to believe in idiocy to belong to the group, next make sure they perform insufferable acts to prove their loyalty.
Really scary stuff. It reads all warm and fuzzy at first blush, but when you dig in with a critical and analytical eye, you can easily cut through the bs and see what they’re really all about. https://www.chiefsforchange.org/
Yep, they are pushing the 'scope creep' that is ballooning SD budgets everywhere. Education is somewhere buried under SJW initiatives and lots of buzzwords that obscure The Agenda. Edu-speak is its own language. This our local 'gem': https://educator-academy.org/
Clearing out DEI will take a thorough going, deep down purge conducted by a handful of willing apparatchiks at every school and institution of higher education who know the language and where the bodies are buried. As Americans, I don’t think we have the stomach for that.
Barbara Ferrer is a ghoulish nightmare that orchestrated the worst response to covid by shutting everything down-- destroying probably thousands of small businesses and putting kids behind two years in math from closing the schools. She gave us an experience of what it feels like to live under a medical dictatorship. They closed the beaches, parks, so kids had to stay in-doors. OK people viruses are killed by UV light. She was beyond stupid and everyone listened to her. But that was in L.A. county. All you had to do was go shop, go to restaurants, and breathe in a nearby county. Now L.A. schools are scrambling for students. Well, the vaccine policy doesn’t help either. Terrible person!!!
Best quote today “covid miracle: the crisis that was supposed to lock down humanity ended up unlocking reality.” And seeing people for who they really are.
Death of Dr Jeff Bradstreet in June of 2015 was what woke me up: I researched & realized the Nazis relocated to the USA, which had become the fourth reich. “Pandemic” never fooled me for one second.
It's amazing that there are so many people who do not know how to take care of themselves when they have a flu...or when they feel it moving into their chests....outdoors and sunshine work wonders...why it was so crazy to shut down outdoors recreation.
The Last Straw for hubby and me was when Governor Nuisance closed THE OCEAN and put armed National Guards at all entrances so no one could experience the healing properties of Sun, Salt, Sand and Water. It was SOOO much better to stay inside your Stack n Pack Highrise and day drink. 🤨
It was known in ~1903 that injecting foreign proteins into the body caused allergic reactions & sometimes anaphylaxis.
Someone won a Nobel prize for establishing this!
This phenomenon is the basis for illnesses autoimmune, cardiovascular + cancers, which were rare before vaccination began.
Blood stasis began to be seen & treated shortly after 1800, with the smallpox vaccines. This another underlying condition of diseases, nerve damage & early death.
A Midwestern Doctor has a lot to say about the history of medicine, what intelligent doctors thought about vax injuries & early treatments that worked.
Absolute insanity. Would be walking a deserted park path and someone with a mask would walk by me and turn to the side so as to not face me as they walked by LMFAO
I’ve lived here in Washington state for 41 years and seen it go downhill. Seattle is at the core of the rot. All that said, to ask if I can borrow your people‘s Republic of Washington. 😂
This is on a different note, but the same state....California. This is yet the latest garbage their state legislature is terrible to push through. Rather scary... but everyone needs to know... even in other states!
Deb, thanks for sharing this info. I am going to work to go to this! Got to make a stand against this bill and this kind of evil legislation. Anyone else?
Thank you for sharing this! I pray you and so many others are able to attend this. I am in TEXAS and not able to be there. But we will be praying for all who attend!
Dear C&C Army, please watch the video above that Deb shared. Pray, share and find a way to be at the Capitol in Sac, CA. Please get there anyway you can. “As California goes, so goes the whole country.”
And yet they are electing a whole new bevy of DEI practitioners. It's like watching a horror movie of an easily transmitted brain infection overtaking.....wait. Never mind.
I don’t like those people anymore than you do, but the inability to compromise in a pluralistic society like ours either means you're out of office, or you become a dictator. I think this can be taken as a good sign Trump isn’t a dictator, despite all the proclamations to the contrary.
Now if were supporting _real_ conservatives and not RINOs. I know for TX, he said he'd support many of the RINOs here because they voted for school choice or some such nonsense. Ignoring what _else_ they voted for and what they keep doing to the state....
Hoping that finally closing the primaries and so many voters tired of the shenanigans will lead to the TX legislature getting a much-needed makeover and the "R" congress-critters are voted out.
We in Naples, FL had no idea Gainesville was not also Red until we sent our son there to UF and even though school was shutdown during the Pandemic, the liberal part of our state affected his views. Ugh! So much for the education. On another note, I do believe we are to care for this planet that God entrusted to us and for a moment I was considering an electric vehicle, don’t worry, my husband got to me and showed that the batteries are anything but sustainable and not beneficial to the planet. And on yet another note (much to comment on today) my husband who was top of his class at THE Ohio State University and given recommendations by the Medical Director of the hospital was flat out told that there were too many white men and he needed to reapply next year, this was in 1997 and we didn’t know about DEI, he was then wait listed at another medical school due to, “too many white males” and he tutored many who got in ahead of him. He has been a practicing Urologist now for 18 years (minus the time he was terminated while on his death bed for COVID which almost killed him and resulted in a double lung transplant) but he’s back even though the hospital refused the ivermectin script he wrote for himself and forced remdesivir on him. I have left you messages Jeff in case you want to take us on 😊
So, if you go to a school where two-thirds of the graduates read at a first-grade level or below, and you read at a second-grade level, you are a viable candidate for a government position.
Some people are able to test well and others are naturally smart, with common sense. The current educational system is a joke, including most (not all) those who test well and have “better grades”, but no common sense and are unable to apply what they have learned in one area to another area.✌🏼🫶🤠
Some people suffer from test panic and that's unfortunate. But objective testing is the best way to assess competence in whatever the test is designed to measure. Anything else is subjective and totally unreliable. If one person can answer the questions correctly, and a second person gets them wrong, I'm going with person #1.
I worked for the govt. Left quickly as I could not believe the BS in so many departments. I gave up great benes and pay but decided self-respect and dignity come first. What an eye opener that experience was. Good Bye and Good Riddens.
Yeah, things are much better. Basic human nature is still the same, and the fear and guilt cards will work like magic on most. Instead of 97%, maybe it will be more like 80%, which is progress.
Jeff, I can't believe that people in your district are still wearing masks. Wait a minute, my wife's cardiologist is still wearing one! What in the world is going on-do people in this day and age actually believe in zombies?
The internet can't thoroughly clean and stitch up a gaping wound. Or write a scrip for doxy if you get a tick bite and have the lyme rash. We've been lucky lately and when we've needed those interventions, the docs have ranged from pretty decent to stellar. Those running the medical system are psychopathic monsters, but there are some very decent doctors thank God. But for everything but trauma care and occasional need for an antibiotic (when truly needed) the system is best avoided.
Just as an aside, this is for pet parents. Merck is now marketing a new saRNA (self amplifying) Rabies vax called Novibac NXT. No long term studies. It is also in the process of marketing the same for feline leukemia and dog flu. Ask to see the label before giving this to your pet. Best to get the "old" vaccine that is the “thimerosal free” version. Hope this helps anyone who has pets.
I've never understood the plethora of zombie movies, series and their popularity. I think it has something to do with de-humanizing our humanity as a means of rendering morality meaningless and null. On that basis, depopulation progroms become acceptable and "normal".
Afterthought:
And bear in mind, who is the audience that these programs are aim at and influence? Their audience are impressionable young people who lack the maturity of us older folks to be more skeptical. And then there is the TV series "The 100". "The 100" is a blatant display of moral relativism and ambiguity influencing a younger generation who already lack any moral framework due to their poor, state "education".
Why is it that most of the mask wearing lunatics are at the front of the classroom or leading some alleged community program? Is it because the non enlightened great unwashed see it as some cosmic signal that they can't seem to receive through their foil hats? Ultimately they are sucked into the black hole of conformity??..Just say'n
Yes, it’s Oregon, but a friend went to physical therapy the other day, and the therapists were all wearing masks. He asked why. Because the hospitals are experiencing an outbreak of illness and are trying to stay ahead of it, and if you don’t wear the mask, they won’t refer patients to you. Insanity. Oh, and Walgreens is advertising flu and COVID shots again… in August!
There's supposedly two waves of C0VID now: summer and winter.
Strangely enough, I never remember getting sick in the summer when I was younger. Sure, I had "allergies," but that was much later in life. Not "sick."
If you're curious about the current state of C0VID, check out this sub reddit:
“I guess Jaguar decided its new electric customer base is flamboyant transexxuals.”
That’s the stupidity of all this. Know your customer base! It’s irresponsible of a company to alienate most of their customers. Like so many have done in the past 5 years. Bud Light learned the hard way. So did Target. Jaguar is too, thankfully.
The ones who live off govt assistance, refuse to work, and want everything for free are not the ones purchasing your stuff. It’s not rocket science. (Although I must admit Jaguar isn’t even a thought in our hardworking budget).
You said it right, Jeff! And their reward? Selling almost no cars. GOOD! Learn the hard way, it’s delicious for us bystanders to taste.
Even if I was a flamboyant transsexual with a lot of cash, I wouldn’t buy the new Jaguar because I would be concerned that I couldn’t get replacement parts when the company goes under in the near future.
While they might have learned these ads are bad for business, they outed themselves as woke enemies of people who think like I do. So, I remember that. I'll never buy another Anheiser Busch product, except when cornered and even then only if I really, really want that beer. The other day my choice was 3 AB products I like OK or an IPA that I don't much care for. I got the IPA. It helped the IPA is named for a trout stream made famous by Hemingway - Two-Hearted ale. I really wish I liked that beer.
Covid was absolutely the inflection point. I watched the alternative anti-establishment non-conformist peace-loving free-speech liberal socialists suddenly turn into authoritarian fascists. It was shocking to see and they've never turned back. If anything, they've doubled down. The thing is, I doubt many of them realize this.
It was a conformity test, and they expected 100% compliance.
The non-conformers effed it up for those being the operation, and now, people can see that those who are not injected do not have broken immune systems.
“Seriously, I ask you: what kind of person still wears a mask in 2025?”
A stupid one. At this point, masks don’t merely make you look like an idiot, they prove that you are one.
A few days ago in a parking lot, a car model I've been interested in buying pulled in next to me and I intended to talk to the driver about their experience with it. That is until I got a look at her. She was wearing a mask ... while alone ... in the tightly closed car!
Yesterday, I was at a local farmers’ market. Yes, it was packed, but this guy had a whole get up with a hat that had a flap that wrapped around his face. I couldn’t see the bottom half, but I’m sure he was probably wearing a mask under that. He was an old white dude.
I’ve also been seeing people not only wearing masks but those cheap gloves. They have been terrorized and are definitely touched in the head.
Curious, what does old and white and dude have to do with your story?
Because where I live in So Cal, these really are the people (white people. I am white, by the way) who are the most deranged about this. Actually, they kind of tie with the young Asians.
This psyop really hit the older community hard.
Got it. All you had to say was So Cal. Where I live, rural WI, we don't have a lot of that other than the transplants from metro areas that suckled from the government teet. Sorry, you couldn't pay me enough to live on the left coast.
If what Jeff says is true that the covid pLandemic actually "ended up in unlocking reality" and exposing the delusion, corruption and crime we have been suffering for decades, that is awesome!
I still want every motherfucker who put the pLandemic in place, stole our natural rights and freedoms, injected so many with poison, murdered so many, to suffer immensely for their crime against humanity. What they did with the covid pLandemic was an intentional, scripted effort to destroy the USA and other countries trying desperately to be like the USA - and install global marxism with chyna as the model. There MUST be Meaningful, SERIOUS Accountability.
It appears that, at last, reality, that which is demonstrably true, as James Howard Kunstler writes in his “Clusterfuck” substack, is being rediscovered. Like you, I want the vax criminals to suffer interminable regret for their actions/crimes.
Check out what's going on in Britain: https://laurakasner.substack.com/p/most-docs-not-taking-the-jabs-themselves
It appears the "medical profession" will "first, do no harm" (Primum Non Nocere) to themselves while fucking over everyone else with poison.
Like some college students around here.
Maybe they’re all just rioters hiding their identities from security cameras… ;)
probably NOT her car;
husband, father's?!
Did it make you lose your appetite for that car? LOL
Nope. It was a Mazda CX-5 and is still on my list.
My granddaughter and her hubby had leased one since 2021 and liked it so much they finally purchased a beautiful white one. Vroom, vroom!!!!
Hard pass
It’s a political statement. Or they’re stupid.
If it’s a political statement AND they’re stupid.
There….fixed it for ya
Agree
Yes!
Definitely know their political affiliation.
BOT!
I'm having a hard time gettin a handle on this, because one of the most mentally versatile and smart people I knew was still wearing his mask, alone, in his car. Took the jab on Day 1 it was available and offered to help me jump the line. He is definitely not stupid, not sure about his politics, very learned but dismisses any contradictory information he hears in all of the areas is proficient (ie. Gun instructor in all types of weapons, geologist, ex military, spelunker, much more) . It is a real puzzle to me, and we have basically drifted way apart after my refusalt o get jabbed.
Or the consequences of being wrong about the jab are so severe that people can’t admit it was a bad thing because it would break down their entire world view - and they might have to suffer from the guilt of knowing they made a terrible choice that negatively affected themselves & those they love (think parents who jabbed their kids).
-Ryan’s Wife stopping by for a comment
Yes, this. The cognitive dissonance would be overwhelming to them. And think of how the dominoes would fall once they knew Covid was a US/China man-made virus that was made as a bioweapon & the military had created the vaccine long before Warp Speed, which was nothing but ramping up production of the already-created vaccine. And then follow the breadcrumbs that the rest of us saw in the beginning. If they'll lie so egregiously about public health and they know people will die if they lie, and they ALL do it anyway, then you can't ever unsee it.
Well said, Alice!
100 % correct. And kids who jabbed their elderly parents to protect them, though I know one who knows it was bad now, obviously regrets it , but glad her daughter did not get it.
He’s in a stupor. He is quite literally stupid. And it’s often a hallmark of genius to get into stupors. They might regularly solve advanced math & excel in science, but they forget to brush their hair or wash their clothes. They are in stupors.
To jab or not to jab is likely the most important decision anyone ever made, so yeah, he failed that IQ test, and all after.
Brainwashed. It's the only possible answer.
I think too smart for his own good. Told me one time he was an expert on viruses. Yeah, how'd that work out?
A lot of the obsessive jabbers are now blaming the Covid virus itself for all their subsequent health problems. A kind of medical ‘get out of jail free’ card.
Not to say the bio-weapon isn’t horrible in and of itself - we’re both unjabbed but definitely harmed by the virus - but blaming it for everything is just a way to avoid facing up to the jab
Paula, that is so true! I have friends I have to avoid saying anything to about the harm obviously done by the jabs. They make poor excuses. Also the masks wearers! Closer to 80 than 70 and gave 45 years to “do no harm”! Oh how I loved my patients and families. Justice has to be done! Thanks, Jeff Childers, for explaining all of today’s wrap up!!
Darn right. They are told by media narratives that they have long covid, not the truth, that it’s the so-called “vaccine”.
There were a few people who were hopelessly vulnerable to the fear peddled at that time. They swallowed hard and fast and the hook sank deeply to their core. It was like a poisoning and they never stood a chance
I believe it was way more than a few, like millions. Also, so many people, perhaps even a majority, chose the path of least resistance. the go along to get along mindset that so fouled this country and led us to where we were in the Biden regime. Clif High is saying now in a podcast we are listening to that if you were part of the herd, you had no free will, no agency, so you did what the herd did.
Because I am not a ‘herd’ person, I also am not a ‘heard’ person among family and friends.
Know that feeling. Jimmy crack corn and I don't care. They essentially told me to pound sand when I tried to help them with medical and nutrition issues, so good luck to them I say
My brother is the same! Took the jab, & all the boosters, but would never wear a mask. He hates govt, hates rules & regulations, & hates religion. He's a Trump voter, but I can't understand his love of the shots. I've sent him numerous articles about the danger of them, Jeff's C&C, but he'll just say yada yada, he just got another booster, why don't I get one? Have tried for years to get him to go to church, pray for him daily, but he's refused. BUT thanks to covid, he started going! why? His state, NM, closed churches, a preacher in his town sued the state to open & he won, so he started going to his church, regularly. Got his wife to go with him. Never misses a service now, even goes to men's weekly breakfasts. Never EVER thought I would say it, but here I'm saying it. Thank you, God, for covid, it got my brother & family saved.
I'm sorry but I cannot agree that saving your brother spiritually is worth destroying his mortal body.
Pride goes before the fall
Speaking to the choir, but not about covid. My pride , and my daughter's pride, is what cost her her life.
Shoot, count your blessings and move on!
and not or
Sometimes it’s both. But I see people that I wonder how on earth they still can’t see it——young and college aged——that’s political. They might also be stupid, but I see people that are ”just stupid” all the time.
Despite the latest information coming from HHS about how Biden changed the Obamacare rules for COVID treatment, a friend of mine, who works for Kaiser, insists that COVID was killing everyone. She’s in the finance department. I have shared research paper after research paper with her. She tells me they’re flawed and biased.
What can I say? She’s well and truly brainwashed.
People died of things people always die from: heart disease, cancer, diabetes, old age. The only difference? Instead of blaming their deaths on these absolute morbidities, they unlawfully blamed it on the pLandemic. There have been studies now done which point clearly to the fact that the pLandemic was pushed by using a bogus PCR test, an irresponsible, delusional, corrupt government and media, and a medical profession which, in the pursuit of greed and power, failed their oath and their foundational ethical principle to First, Do NO Harm (Primum Non Nocere)!
I have a friend whose a nurse and she iindicated several nurses died during covid due to working overtime shifts and being exposed over and over to covid.
Also have anothernurse friend in New York who worked there during the pandemic and said she saw many deaths. I think the truth lies somewhere oin the middle . Compromised people with other illnesses were more susceptible.
I have a friend who took her grandfather into the ER because they had COVID. As instructed, they waited until it was hard for them to breathe. My friend said, “No Remdesivir,” multiple times. they ignored her and gave her grandfather the drug. Within 15 minutes, her grandfather had swelled up, turned purple, and died.
I have another friend whose husband went into the hospital. They wouldn’t let her in. They put him on a respirator, and within days, he was dead.
Respirator = death.
We had a teenager die here from Covid. I’ve had friends hospitalized with it. Covid did kill people.
I think lots of those people just lacked discernment. I'm not that smart but it felt wrong and fishy to me from the get go. Not to mention I didnt succumb to the fear mongering. I just loaded up on all the supplements our brave docs told us to take and only had a cold for 2 days the entire time.
Mask use is surging again in crazy NoVA….🙄
Interestingly I started a group in my neighborhood called NOVAs, it was for NOtVAccinated. We were fighting against the Invasion of the Body Snatchers (Vaxaholics) 🤦♀️
Great idea for a group! Here in NoVA…most people LOVE the vx despite people dropping like flies…all ages. Not many ‘tolerant’ people here - so we keep our status quiet. I just shrug when they mention all the deaths, cancers, blood clots etc…..they wouldn’t believe me anyways…..🙄
The same way here. Hubby and I were kicked out of several neighborhood clubs because we refused to vomit up our heath status to anyone who asked. When one particularly offensive yenta asked me if I had my “vaccines” I replied, “As long as we’re probing for private information, do you enjoy anal sex?” I saw the back of her pretty fast!
And yet NOW it is forbidden to ask when someone in good health drops dead at a gas station, like my healthy, 62 year old cousin did. Maybe they all died of fentanyl……
Yes, you can take the DEI out of the law, but will have to sue to take the DEI out of the DEI person promoted to hiring authority.
Forget sewing them, make a criminal complaint and put them before a grand jury.
🙌
They're BOTH!
Or both
I am thinking of wearing a mask for my power walk later today due to all the wildfire smoke here. Yes there is a use for all those expired N95 leftover masks in my inventory.
As a former wildland firefighter...if you can't take the smoke, get off the fire line. (Did that sound tough enough for you all? LOL...The US Forest Service had a Consent Decree back in the 80's to hire more women and later with Hispanics. Surprised the black folk didn't jump in on all that, but I digress.) Seems that those evil white males had all the jobs sewn up ever since Gifford Pinchot and TR. Jobs like district fire mgmt officers, now called "Chiefs" at the GS 11 level were flown at a 7/9/11 level so a GS 5 (female) could apply...she'd get up to speed eventually ... 😒😒😒 So glad I got out of THAT line of work. But I did my part for the sisterhood. Made my diehard scorched earth feminist mother Dhimmicrat proud for awhile, until I became a Republican. 😁
Our son is on a Hotshot crew, currently on the Gifford Fire in CA. They had to abandon their fire line when it spread from 5,000 to 30,000 acres quickly. Prayers are appreciated. The women he has worked with are tough.
Yes, that fire is right over the mountain from my house. Praying for your son's safety and that of ALL the crews on the fire. It's burning in heavy fuels that haven't seen fire for awhile. Our "forest" here is more brush than timber. So conditions are ripe for very large area ignition. Scary stuff. And yes, being a woman on a fire crew requires being one tough mutha!
I spent my life on the streets of Miami during the 70s-80s-90s. I wore a badge. I could do that job- 27 successful years on the front lines kind of document that- but I could never have been a firefighter. Different physical job requirements. I am a small female.
Don't give me any grief about street fighting. I always won. We had tools that equalized. Proper communication does a lot for prevention, but doesn't work against stupid, crazy, or druggies/drunks. So, we knew what to do to effect a lawful arrest.
There are people who don't belong in all sorts of jobs. Always been the case.
I never, ever thought about that "sisterhood" nonsense. I sought competence and gender never entered into it. THAT was part of my success. I was and still am accepted by the "brotherhood," which is non-gendered.
My sisterhood comment was sarcasm, BTW. I never played the "girl" card.
Good. I like you even better. The "girl" people used to drive me crazy. We fought so hard to be accepted and then they started coming along. Sadly, I see it being worse now. Some "Repbulican men" want us back barefoot and pregnant. Some women buy into it and I'm glad for them as long as it doesn't cut out the ones, like me, who never wanted that life.
Exactly C! Many of us realize the purpose and life stolen from us (outsource your babies and go to the office, so fun!) but even that stolen life was never meant for all women! There walk among us a different breed of women and those must be allowed to work alongside our men where they bring the unique strengths of the feminine psyche to traditionally male jobs. My bestie from hs is ine of those … I raised five babies and she kicked ass as a state police officer and rose to captain before retiring at age 50. I could not have done what she did but she is now traveling the world with her husband and honorary auntie to my kids. There is so much room for both kinds and we must fight for each other!
Susan, were you a firefighter?
Susan I see now that you were. Were you on a hotshot crew like your son. I was on one in Montana, the Bitterroot Hot Shots, in my college summers in the 70's. Once in a rare while we saw a woman on a crew. Unusual sight for sure.
Yes, I was a wildland firefighter, starting up in Region 6 (Washington State, Mt Baker-Snoqualmie NF, one of two women on a 10 person BD crew for 3 seasons) then got my one season on a hotshot crew, in Yellowstone NP in 1982, where it rained all summer. (Only female on the crew) Then went down to North Zone R5 (Shasta-Trinity NF) on an engine crew. Did that for a season, then went back up to 6 for one season leading a crew on the Willamette NF, and got to go back to Yellowstone when it was ablaze in '88. Then back to the Shasta-T for another season or so (engine + hand crew) and then moved to a Fire Prevention (FPT) job on the Plumas for 7 years. At that point, I realized that I was not cut out to be a crew boss leading 20 souls into a dangerous wildland fire situation. My position was being cut from the Prevention program (low "man" on the totem pole so to speak) So I made the decision to give up my career as a firefighter and a federal employee and I went to household management training in Denver instead, two years later. How's that for my 🔥 CV?
Susan, that's a pretty impressive resume. As to the summer of rain, we had one summer like that. Spent weeks working in the rain piling brush praying for fires. I only did 3 summers. I was a sawer on the 2-saw, 2 men to a saw, sawsquad. When I got accepted to dental school during the 3rd summer, my fingers and limbs increased in value so I bailed on the forest fires and chainsaws. I imagine the Yellowstone fire was quite an experience. Have you read any of Norman Maclean's books on casualties on fires, "Young Men and Fire" on the first firefighting deaths, smokejumpers near Helena (1949), and his son completing one of Norman's and writing more of his own. His book on the Storm King fire in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, and the deaths, especially one of the 3 Smoke Jumpers, Don Mackey, from my home town of Hamilton. I was deeply touched by all of the books, especially about the Thirty Mile fire near Okangan, Washinton, that killed 3 young women, ages 18, 19, and 21.
I appreciate your bold, brave, service. I've consumed more smoke than the either of you probably.
My parents both smoked and I worked in a bowling alley. Unbelievably, I never picked up That hadit.
Yes, Bill, your second hand cigarette smoke was probably unrelenting. 😰 I hope your lungs survived that onslaught.
My husband was the foreman on the Los Prietos Hotshots (late 70's) and he had two women work with him--one was the first woman smikejumper ever. Those two women were extraordinary firefighters. 🫡🫡🫡🔥🔥🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Sorry, that's SMOKEJUMPER. fat fingers strike again 🙄
Because smoke particles are much bigger and the N95 mask is actually designed for that purpose.
Or if you're sanding wood or sheetrock. Then it's a very smart idea.
Or when mowing the lawn.
Do that too for when the wind blows grass onto me.
For the first few months of Covidmania, I wore a filthy, dust-covered construction-grade one with a valve, gaping at the top, bottom, and sides, every time I had to go into a place that required them. My own political statement.
Haha Tamara me too. My mask was like a fish net with bling on it and it was purple. Nobody said boo about it either and I could freely breathe in it.
Best one was a young woman somewhere in Europe who was trying to make a bank withdrawal without a mask. She finally said "fine'. took off her panties, and put them on her face. They gave her the money. If that didn't show anyone who still used their brain it was all about obedience.
Haha, Dawn that’s great..I punched holes in mine with a paper punch and also wrote things on it like “Jesus is our only Hope!”
I bought a bunch of those to wear when I realized that masking was not going to go away. Unfortunately those didn't work for being in airports or planes. I exhibit in dog sports and they all required masking, even outdoors. So I wore and a bunch of people wore these types of masks. I had friends that were almost passing out running in double layer cloth masks and I handed out fresh ones to them. Eventually just about all of the sane people were wearing these fishnet, bling masks and clubs started to not enforce masking at all.
I used Battenberg lace for several flights-haha. Swirly with huge air holes. Took it off for long swigs from my water bottle, too, while a pit bull flight attendant side eyed me.
At work, admin put up clear plastic shower curtains between our desks to…prevent the airborne deadly pathogen from getting around.
And then “public health” went berserk, and the medical community folded like a lawn chair.
After that, I became a dissident.
I wore a V for Vendetta (Anonymous stole that mask) into Costco once.
roland - I wish I could've seen you in that V for Vendetta mask:)
Eh, I spoke to someone who works for the EPA. N95 not that great. I also know someone who does construction work. When he finishes sanding and is done for the day and takes his mask off, there’s still particulates under the mask. Yes, he knows how to fit it properly.
I’m not saying you should mask for something like that, merely that you might want a better one.
N95 is designed to catch 95% of dust particles. Certainly not viral particles
I wore a rebellious red harem net veil with gold beads. When a nurse at Kaiser told me that my mask wouldn’t provide protection, another nurse stepped in and said, “Yes, it will” and let me in. 😂 Got it on line at bellydancers.com
Ours were from Fake Mask USA. Black mesh but looked solid on. We used to fly on planes with no issues. And no glasses fogging!!
Me too :)
I trust you have a photo of yourself in this mask for future generations to enjoy as they peruse photo albums:)
Believe it or not, I’ll be wearing one momentarily for welding fumes.
Worked in a contract lab - had to wear a P100 and pass a pulmonary function test and a fit test every year to enter the chemical repository. Those will keep everything out with the right cartridges!
Fit testing is also highly recommended….
truth
Best to not do your power walk and find some healthier alternative.
I am sure masks were not invented for use in prolonged physical exertion.
N95 masks that I lived in 12 hours a day, in 120 average heat, pulling on four foot pipe wrenches, do no harm. Get rid of that thinking, it isn’t true.
I am sure it was beneficial in those conditions that would have been impossible otherwise, but it can’t have been all that healthy don’t you think?
Its hard to say what inhaling excessive CO2 daily did to you. May have effected you or your cognition but you aren't aware...yet.
It's not so hard...Take a walk through one of your local schools. elementary through high school, heck even college. You'll see the mental carnage that took place. Jay Leno used to spotlight the "intelligent college students" on his show. Now all you need to do is talk to a local 15-20ish something about anything that doesn't involve an Iphone
Thank YOU for doing such hard work. 🙏🏼
I have always walked fast even when the grocery stores mandated masks to buy food. Breathing rate is only slightly elevated. I will find out later today if it is too restrictive for my 20 minute walk.
AMEN! You cannot get adequate Oxygen if “Power Walking”.
We had to be fitted for the N95 masks when I worked! They were for patients who had tuberculosis. They “said” the later TB was worse than the original! Hmm! Makes me wonder. For sure, I don’t want to rebreath CO2!!
21 years ago when I was in dose dense chemo, I was really limited where I could go. the big "evil" was bacteria. Bacteria are huge compared to virus. There are immune suppressed people who wear masks, but still must be careful. I have a friend right now who is battling for his life because of a bacterial infection he got as a result of surgery. He's ok outside, but doesn't dare go inside anywhere.
I feel sorry for the people who really are immune suppressed because they get lumped in with the "masktoids."
This is really great point. One thing we know the vaccine did is cause accelerated cancers and compromise immune systems. In such cases they may be wearing a mask to protect themselves from certain things in the environment because of an existing health condition, and not for Covid or virtue signaling, etc. We need to remain mindful that there are other valid reasons for masks, and we might be seeing more of them because of so many new cancers?
You also have a point. My cancer pre-dated Covid by many years. There was no thought about masks. I was told to stay away from the "dirty places." Grocery stores and anywhere there are kids! I agree that we must not be too fast to judge some who might have compromised immune systems for a multitude of reasons. Anyone driving alone with a mask on is a Masktoid! I think most are. A dear friend complained of razor throat over the weekend. Dr Mom (me) took over an assortment of OTC meds. He went to the doctor today and it's the razor throat covid. It's going around in SW Florida. IF someone has a prescription drug that is in the protocols (Ivermectin, antibiotics etc. come to mind), I'll warn people to not give it to others outside immediate household. IF something goes wrong you do not want to have given Rx drugs out. Those people are on their own. It is not worth the Federal consquences.
Ivermectin is now OTC in a number of states. Go there!
My son that we just moved to TX has a fever and a razor sore throat. He called me yesterday. It’s his second week at his brand new job and he can’t call in sick. I previously gave him ivermectin and all the other goodies like Azithromyacin etc when he was in college, and so I counseled him on dosages for being symptomatic yesterday. But he forgot some of his back up vitamins and medicines like HCQ and zinc in our backup fridge so I priority mail expressed it to him today hoping it gets there by tomorrow. His sore throat was really bad but it was much better today after a proper dose of IVM. Still it’s sore so he’s gonna use a sore throat lozenge to get to sleep tonight. He still has a low grade fever too. Was so proud of him because the first thing he started to do yesterday was use the netti pot with the xylitol saline solution. He remembered! But yeah, he is family so I can help this way and if it didn’t go well or not work it’s not like I imposed on another family.
That's exactly what I meant. I like the IMAhealth.org protocols. We use Nyquil around here at night. It has lots of goodies in it and makes us sleep.
You are wonderful to have the presense of mind to get the stuff to him. I think IVM is the main thing. Am told Zinc keeps the virus from replicating and Quercetin helps in many ways. Do your own research of course. I'm not anything mecical.
Thanks for this
I have a dear friend who’s possibly overdoing it, but she is very careful in public and still wears a mask because she doesn’t want to get something her immune system won’t handle.
Not all masked people are the same.
Get the full chemical mask with cartridges. That's what I wore outside during the aftermath of the Paradise fire. Don't take any chances of that crap getting in your lungs.
N95 will probably not be good enough for the fire.
I did check into it and N95 mask has a native pore size of 0.3 micron (without electric charge) and wildfire smoke has a diameter of 0.4 to 0.7 microns. However I suspect the range of particles in wildfire smoke is much larger. An N95 mask should catch most of it.
I believe it might catch particulate, but wonder about the gasses? House fires have a lot of burning plastic....I'd want a full O2 type bottle /mask like my husband wore as a fire fighter.
I use one while mowing our pastures and ordered a box of 100 just for that purpose.
Well that makes sense. So yes do it. I’m still coughing and hoarse from a garbage burn miles from my house in Feb
You breathed in a lot of burning plastics and other noxious gasses. Awful stuff.
Smokey here too. Put a jock strap over your face and call it your D 9.5 mask. Now that's some real protection.😁
Would certainly repel a lot of people!!!
Before Covid, for pollen in the spring, I have been known to don a mask. I am sensitive to trees as their leaves come out. I am surrounded by trees where I live.
60 years ago when I was at cub scout camp one of the other kids had a breathing attack (probably asthma) and the scout leaders solved his attack by wrapping his cub neckerchief around his face as a simple bandit style mask. It did the trick.
Wear it freely. Some people are sensitive to smoke
Some are making a political statement. Some are stupid. But I think some are just broken.
I spent the weekend in the company of a tiny group of artists, mostly retired, in a workshop on eco-friendlier etching. The most accomplished printmaker there was also the most unbearable. Though she proclaimed that she believed in science, was a lifetime Episcopalian, on Saturday she erupted in rage. “I want to be able to watch Big Bird on NPR(sic) with my grandchildren.”
I ignored the NPR/PBS confusion, and let her know Sesame Street is now on HBO. “Then I’d have to pay!” she wailed. Well, I remarked, Children’s Television Workshop was very well paid in the deal.
Maybe I incited her to higher levels of angst, for the next words out of her mouth was, “I want to kill him. Somebody needs to kill him. What is he doing, adding a ballroom to the White House? I told my therapist he needs to be killed and she didn’t disagree.”
I didn’t want to fight in this workplace, but observed that my husband had served in military counterintelligence and cautioned me never to make statements like that…she picked up her iPhone and said “They’re probably listening in right now.”
Yesterday she started in again. This time, I said firmly, “Please don’t say that again. We don’t need anymore political violence. It would be terrible for this country.”
THAT SHE WOULD SAY WHAT SHE SAID OUT LOUD IN A GROUP OF STRANGERS IS REALLY TERRIBLE.
Wow. That is a broken, broken person. You actually did a very charitable thing in asking her not to say it again. She may not recognize it as such, but it was.
It also prevented her from going to far and having a knock on her door. Unhinged people are very dangerous and authorities know that.
All the TDS people say exactly the same things! It’s very strange. Yet they offer no viable plan for an improved way to run things. It’s just about killing, removing, defeating, and shouting over the people who still prefer reality to their wackadoodle world view.
Our souls need something to believe in, something to be devoted to. Take away their God and they will desperately and blindly cling to political overlords. It was all orchestrated.
This reminds me of the common observation that[some of] the most educated Phd's often show the highest "ill-adapability" to make simple common sense decisions whereas, redneck Jim-Bob aces the quiz.
Give me common sense every time.
People without God as a moral compass turn to Gov, which is like trying to get nourishment from the wax fruit in grandma’s fruit bowl. Pretty sad how secularism has flourished in the past decades.
Sounds like brain damage from prolonged hypoxia. Probably wore a mask (in her car alone) for too long.
She needs Jesus.
Unfortunately, she may not be finding Jesus in the current Episcopalian church. Her pastor likely a nut like Bishop Mariann Budde.
All of the old mainline Protestant denominations need a reformation!
call this number and report her crazy ass- https://www.fbi.gov/contact-us
It's your duty! Only half kidding.
We should all be saying that to the people who go off with violent speech.
I prefered when I could say, up against the wall...hands behind your back.
Anne, that is an AWFL account, she must surely have TDS. Thank you for reprimanding her.
You should see the look on their face when the Secret Service shows up at their door. I had to provide "uniform presence)- so the person would know it was for real- a couple of times when they did that! HILARIOUS. All of a sudden they realized it was a Federal offense and not a joke.
Hard core leftist with an empty soul. Typical, they want you and me to pay for their recreation (cartoons?) and won't even hear the words Trump is paying for the ballroom, no taxes involved.
You may indeed have the patience of Job, Anne.
Was her name, Carol? Sounds like my SIL, who is a very accomplished printmaker in the NorthEast.
Alas, there is no geographic limitation to printmaker prejudice. This happened in the Southeast!
What I know for sure. Stupid, broken, and crazy people cannot be fixed. You hit on 2 of them
I was just at a local homeschool curriculum fair(MT) this past weekend. There was a table for “Girls Thrive” and the attendant had a mask on. Her table might as well been on Mars for how lonely she looked. Nobody was talking to her. Why would anyone want to sign their daughter’s up for that!?
I avoid all people wearing masks in public. I fear for their sanity.
My Ny neighbor is filled with them :(
😮why oh why
perhaps she will derive some wisdom from this obvious shunning?!
What kind of person still wears a mask in 2025?
A person who is fearful.
A person who is afraid of getting sick. A person who literally saying “ stay away from me”.
It’s very sad.
Talked to my liberal daughter who lives in MN yesterday. Said she has been wearing a mask when outdoors for sustained periods due to the air quality index being very high as a result of the wildfires. I kept my mouth shut and didn't ask about where she read about the efficacy of said masks for smoke as I wanted to keep the peace.
But what is up with the Canadian wildfires...again? Has this been an annual occurrence and I was just not paying attention? No idea what our AQI is in MO but we have been treated to milky skies the last several days that they are also attributing to these 'wildfires'?? Our temps all weekend were in the 70's though so spent most of the weekend outdoors enjoying the brief heat reprieve and haven't looked it up.
I have lived in mid Michigan all my life. May and June of 2023 were the first time in my memory we ever had Canadian wildfires impact the northern U.S. states with smoke haze. 2025 is turning out to be worse. I smell smoke and a rat…
The fires usually start in BC. I lived in Alberta for 35 years (next to BC) and there are always fires in BC and we had hazy skies in AB. Now, there are fires in Eastern Canada as well. It’s bizarre. I’m looking at hazy skies this summer from Nova Scotia. They never say how they started - some guy tossing a cig out the window? I read a media account in 2021 or so (same lying media they all are) and they interviewed a “conspiracy theorist” who said he saw flares coming down from the sky. That was in a small town in BC where one of our good, outspoken doctors was questioning the Covid shots for his indigenous patients and telling the chief medical officer in BC of all the side effects he had seen. He thought at that time she would actually care. Shortly after that, his town and medical records burned down. Kind of like the Maui theories. A rat indeed.
That’s what I am saying. They are claiming there are over a 100 separate fires in remote Ontario. No indication of how all these fires are starting separately, no real pictures of the fires blazing and no media buzz accept for weather quality alerts. How are Ontario wildfires affecting North and South Dakota? Every northern tier state all the way to New England is being affected. The U.P. Of Michigan had wildfires too, regularly. 30 years ago the Seney National fire broke out scorching a 100,000 acres. Took awhile to get it out, but no smoke haze down here. This is NOT normal, which makes it suspect.
It certainly is suspicious.
Up in the UP in June. In smoke coming off Lake Superior was incredible. What the hell is up with our northern neighbors?
I have a friend in MI. Here's the story she gave me:
"The local Indians used to do land clearing, but the government of Canada stopped that. So now there are wildfires when there weren't wildfires in the past."
I had not heard that one but it fits with government stupidity.
Sorry, not buying that either. I do not doubt your friend from MI may have been told that, but NO. This has just started occurring the last couple years.
Incompetent government and a lazy, lackadaisical attitude by their citizens.
I'm visiting in upstate NY and the air quality is terrible right now. I just had this conversation yesterday. We remember this rarely happening as kids...maybe the problem is forest mismanagement.
I do remember growing up when they would do controlled burns in some of the grasslands in KS that we would get that smoke in KC if conditions were right. But I don't recall issues with more distant fires - although the AQI (air quality index) I think is a more recent thing? I remember daily reporting on the pollen count, as I used to have seasonal allergies, although eating local honey has really helped.
Massive numbers of dead trees, many from pine beetle damage in BC and Alberta is part of it. Forest management is largely controlled by the federal government who love pushing their climate tax agenda. The central part of the country has been dry according to people there. Arson added to that.
Some speculate the ingredients from chemtrails dry out the vegetation and kills mature trees.
There is an increase in human caused fires. Please note the period.
Is that part of the plan?
I read yesterday that the latest wildfire was started when an osprey dropped its prey which landed on some powerlines causing the lines to spark and then setting the fire. Isn't that a crazy chain of events??
If an osprey drops its prey in the woods, does anyone know?
Did the osprey record it or what? How the heck do they know?
If you believe that crock of lies, I’ve got a bridge In Brooklyn to sell you.
I'm just telling you what I read, LMWC. No need to impugn my character.
Not trying to impugn anyone’s character. I just stated if you BELIEVE it. You did not write a disclaimer.
Ad hominum!
Saw a post somewhere, with a pic of a small shark (12 inches) dropped on a golf course by an osprey. They saw it fall.
It was part of a Sharknado meme... so maybe osprey memes are flourishing?
TOF: that was Dave Barry. I love his humor but his audience/subscribers are infected with TDS.
It may be true for all I know
But to me it sounds very queer.
I hate like heck to doubt your word
But that stuff just won't go here
(to the tune of Auld Lange Syne)
My father used to sing that to us when he didn't believe us. haha
hahaha .... made me sing it!
Talk about a butterfly effect!
Wow. The closest analogy I can make is when our neighborhood had a brief power outage last year that was attributed to a hapless squirrel that decided chewing on a power line was a good idea that led to a blown transformer. The squirrel didn't make it. But there was no fire?!
they know that how?
Tiny teeth marks and flash-fried squirrel still on the line?
Sounds like the Osprey wanted a fully cooked meal "well done" 🤔
I just came back to Chicago from TX, and immediately noticed the differences in the sky. For the entire time I was in TX every single day, all day long, the sky was storybook blue with white cottonball clouds. Since I’ve been back it’s been nothing but haze with no blue being visible even when the sun is basically unobstructed. 75 here feels just like their 95. I remember always having skies like TX but I can count on one had the number of days this summer this year that had a sky like that. I really can only remember two days. It’s sad.
Same here in upper north eastern KS. Not today it’s beautiful but Friday was awful with low hanging smoke everywhere. Read it was Canadian wildfire related. I only remember that starting last year. They are burning out their farmers and lower income white population to make room for more immigrants and LGBTQRSTUV.
I think we'll see mask wearers here in the US forever. I say this because since the late 70s I've been to many international airports across the globe. Even as far back as the early 80's, I would see masked people in these airports. The common denominator was that they were all of Asian descent. I remember thinking it was so odd.
Thanks to the covid years of scaring people via power abusive politicians and "experts", I'm sure it created a group of insecure people who just can't intellectually or emotionally give them up. I'm not talking about the occasional immune compromised or chronically ill person but rather physically healthy people. And, let's face it. We're all now used to seeing masked faces even if we think it's foolish.
Because of the jab, "occasional immune compromised"/suppressed is no longer occasional.
Wearing facemasks has been common in Asia for a long time. I was at a conference that included some HS students poster science projects in 2019. One was from an Asian student whose project looked at mask wearing and found no correlation between levels of illness in areas where masks were common (like on subways in Japan) and lower levels of infection. It was very well researched and wish I had taken a picture of her poster when covid hit. She said that in cities where people are packed together people wore masks to both shield them from getting coughed on and such but also to keep from spreading their germs to others. My daughter lived in Shanghai for a year in 2013 and said that some women also wore them to shield their face from the sun - that being light skinned was a status symbol and so they didn't want to get a tan.
My granddaughter worked as a teacher in Thailand for a year. She was shocked when someone told her she should wear big brim hats and sun lotion so her skin wouldn't darken...sorry, in their words: "darken to make her look too black". She was really shocked by this kind of racism there, didn't expect it.
Yes, she said Chinese people are racist - light skinned people have higher social status than dark skinned. In HS in 2010 she went on a class trip where they went to Beijing. Xl'an and Shanghai. At the time she had blonde hair (she now dies it various shades of brown), blue eyes and does have a pale complexion. Random people, especially in Xi'an where there were fewer tourists, would come up and ask to take selfies with her like she was some kind of celebrity, mostly young women. It was more rare the year she was in Shanghai as (at least at the time, Covid may have changed that) it is a pretty international city and the area she lived in had a lot of US and other Western companies with employees living and working in Shanghai.
Here in NE Kansas we've had smoky skies for a week now, has a nice bbq smell to it.
like LA, Paradise, Lahaina, they are being started by the cabal, usually via DEW's, sometimes paid arsonists to assist.
The Canadians have been extremely lax about taking the necessary steps to control the wildfires. We’ve been in Canada the past 2 summers as well as this summer and the wildfires have impacted so many Midwestern states, including MN, WI, IL, M0, IA and KS! They need to be more proactive because our air quality has been very unhealthy for a week now. Come on Canada, get your act together!!!
Pretty severe in northern Vermont.
I wear a mask when playing basketball. It's called a jock strap.
LOL - I do wear a mask in the fall when if it's dry out when using my leaf blower, been doing that since pre-covid as it's preferable to blowing dirt out of my nose for the next 24 hours. But that's for dust, not germs.
Haha, wrong head!
Er, you don't wanna go there...hahaha.
Thanks for the mental image. How's your breathing...
🤣
😂
One can't be too safe.
It's best to double up your N-95s when out shopping.
Clear plastic bag over the head works even better.
Sealed with duct tape around the neck.

🤣🤣🤣
Add a hoodie to the mix!
🤣🤣🤣
Think of the favor they are doing you though. With a single glance you automatically know their political beliefs and how tiresome they will be to deal with.
Who still wears a mask you ask?
Someone sick, who should be home rather than spreading whatever.. someone who is hiding their identy in public.. or someone who believes their own press releases!
Only a surgeon should wear a mask to keep particulate matter out of his mouth while performing his duties, He wears eye protection for the same reason.
Their politics have become a full blown religion, devotion to the “orthodoxy” above one’s own intelligence, blind faith in it at any and all costs. I’ll only give the one true God my steadfast devotion. Everything else gets my skepticism and microscope now.
Saturday saw an older guy with a mask on, driving another person who wasn’t wearing a mask 🤷♀️
Blasphemy!
I see that too in my NY neighborhood :/
I notice mostly young adults or teens still wearing them around my area. Are they hiding zits? Doubt masks help that problem. Yuck.
Yes! Just spoke with a young security guard at our local courthouse that came over to our CourtSide Ministry table for prayer. I told her she didn't have to wear that silly mask with us and she admitted it was her bad complexion...I wanted to tell her to apply ivermectin to it but we weren't there to hand out skincare advice ...
DMSO is being used also. Wouldn’t put it original strength but here is https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/dmso-mixtures-transform-natural-medicine?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=748806&post_id=166136859&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=2o19yg&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email
I know you won’t pass on but others may not know the wonders of DMSO here.
Janet: my son is currently using topical DMSO and aloe vera. He did say the scent can be strong.
I remember using DMSO to soften paint. 😳
I never considered that, but I bet there is a noticeable difference in how people interact with someone that has acne but wearing a face mask and someone not wearing one. That difference may be a welcome reprieve for the poor acne sufferer.
You would think in the year 2025 there would be a better treatment to clear up acne! I feel so sorry for the teenagers afflicted with it.
And adults! Mine got worse in adulthood and I struggled for about 20 years. It was awful to live with. Luckily post menopause fixed it and now I have the skin everyone else had when I was younger. It also paved the way for more youthful skin in my older age, even if there are a few scars, while everyone else has far more wrinkles than I do at a much younger age than me.
But … people are VERY unkind to those that struggle with acne. No matter how clean I was as an individual with my hygiene (to an OCD degree) others ALWAYS assumed I didn’t wash my face enough or I was less clean than them and made sure to mention that. I wasn’t and it was really insulting to me. I had to wear a lot of base makeup to cover my blemishes but of course that only made it worse.
They also stare at your blemishes while they talk distracting both you and them. I sort of understand as my youngest struggles the way I did, and I get distracted looking at his face, wanting to help him figure it out. We used the acutane treatment for my older two and it helped immensely, but it carries significant risks if you have any neurological or mental conditions. So we decided not to have or youngest use it since he was very anxious and depressed when younger. But now he struggles really badly with acne as an adult. 🫤 It does clear well on a Keto or carnivore diet and we proved that to him three years ago when his face cleared up. We are trying to get him back on that diet again to help him with a few other things too.
I struggled with adult acne also until I started to use prescription strength retin-A, aka tretinoin, on my face (over 40 years ago). it also helps with effects of aging. It is expensive in the US but I buy it from alldaychemist.com for about $9/tube of gel.
Depending on how young he is, you could INSIST on the diet that helps and kick his a$$ if he does not comply! 🤣. Easy for me to say, I’m not a mom.
Cleaning up their diet would help. Then there are the hormones, of course.
This is also in response to your other post on this… LED light treatment is another adjunctive treatment for acne. One is called a celluma light (I think that’s the brand), there are likely multiple others. It has red and blue light settings, one is for anti aging, another for acne, and yet another for “aches and pains”. Many med spas offer that as a treatment series in addition to acne facials with certain products. I had mild to moderate acne as a teen, so I have a passion for people suffering with this.
It actually makes zits come to a head more easily. It’s like putting a warm poultice on a boil with all that warm air circulating, but ultimately making a bacterial cesspool!
Like those pimples that you se on a baby's bottom after a long wet stay in their diaper.
A young mom calls it “ass-ne”😂
Bus drivers wear masks to muffle any disparaging remarks of passengers, ie: hiding. And when a passenger gets on the bus, then pulls up the mask, it's all I can do to not roll my eyes.
Our 'company', of course, made us wear masks during COVID, so drivers are making do with the elements that they wanted us to use, to their own benefit, now.
I suppose. Kind of like spanx.
You got plenty of oldies here wearing them!
I heard covid is making the rounds again and people, both jabbed and unjabbed, are taking a long time to recover. So they are either sick or still brainwashed that cloth masks work.
Even the CDC has relegated “Covid” to the “cold” or “flu” category. I wish people would just STOP with the panic porn. Covid has become the new dreaded “C” word.
Sick people do, mentally sick people, that is.

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ[.]

Grandbaby update: Mama and baby will likely be discharged today! Thank you all so much for your prayers and love sent our way. I can’t share a photo here, but just imagine the absolute cutest, fuzzy-headed little mouse with a tiny but mighty mewl of a cry. And to see my “40-baby” and her husband adoring their baby is an indescribably surreal joy. Thank you again for praying! God is faithful and good. — Janice
Praise the Lord!!!
Thank you for the update.
Ditto!!
Janice, so happy for you and yours!! Praising G-d for His blessings and kindness!
Mrs. "the Knife"
So happy to hear all is well 👶😍😇
❤️❤️🙏 Such great news. Indescribable joy for you to absorb. ❤️❤️
Congratulations!!!
Wonderful!!! 🙏🏼Amen
So glad everyone is doing well and they get to go home and settle in ❤️
🙌🏼💖👶🏼🤱🏼🐣🙏🏼🙌🏼
Great to hear!
We just became first time grandparents not quite 3 months ago and it was a rough go for my daughter, but this little baby girl of hers is adorable and we love her so much!
Welcome to the wonderful club of being a grandparent. These little ones really do make life grand!🩷🎉🩷🎉🩷
Grandkids, they complete the parenting cycle. So cool...
So happy for the grand baby news and update! May God continue to grow and bless your family💜
Congratulations on your new addition! Enjoy. 👶
CONGRATULATIONS! ... to the whole fam family! And WELCOME! to your G-Baby!
Been waiting for that blessed news Janice !
So very happy for you all
I was a 40 something mom too x3 and it’s such a beautiful miracle !
Also had one at 43. She’s our youngest and is now 19! Yes, I agree. A beautiful miracle.
So happy to hear this good news! 🍼🙌 What a beautiful blessing to behold. 🙌
“pale as a cave snail” 😂😂😂
looks like a female Nosferatu
Yes!!
I think she always looked like Betelgeuse.

I just watched the JAGUAR ad.
The very first comment said, “JAGUAR’S pronouns are WAS/WERE.” 😝😝😝😝
I can’t stop laughing.
Was told last week the Jag dealership in Mobile is shutting down due to the all-electric move.
Are these characters in that Jaguar ad applying for a role as alien in a Star Wars movie?
They look like a box of crayons.
We just figured out where whoever made the “Last Supper” re-make at the Paris Olympics wound up.
TeleTubbies, I think…
Even had a Andy Warhol look alike in the ad!
It looks like a parody! Absolutely ridiculous!
In many ways it is a very good ad, but not for Jaguar. With a little tinkering, it would make a great ad for the democrat party of 2023, the Trans-AAP, or BLM - very clever, catchy, unique visuals.
My son dubbed it the Faguar.
Likewise, the Lesbaru.
If jaguar wants to resurrect their business, they could re-release the e-type Jaguar with all new mechanics (abs brakes, better suspension, etc.) It would restore their reputation immediately.
Beautiful car. I like your idea Charlotte, as Ford did with the mustang, Chevrolet and Dodge did with their classic muscle cars. With modern tech, it would sell!
Being a two-Jaguar-car family this was the first time we'd seen the ad. I would normally say 'Thanks Jeff' ... but on this occasion ... ewwww!!!
Now that’s funny
So much info! I hate to say it, but I've often thought that many of the AWFL's keep the masks to hide their physically ugly faces. It gives them an excuse.
Second, to me reality is crystal clear. For so long we lived in a gray area, not totally being able to tell the differences between things that seemed right and things that seemed wrong. We've always had The Bible to tell us, but it was easy to creep over to the wrong side because it wasn't THAT bad (in our own eyes).
Now it is crystal clear. No creeping. It is full force either bad or good. People have to choose a side and it is clear for anyone to see what side somebody is on.
Amen Joan!
I agree if you’re just referencing Covid but I find that many political and social issues are complex and shouldn’t be divided into good/evil or right/wrong. We’ve been encouraged to use this binary thinking and it is driving us apart.
Are you kidding...that is exactly what GOD expects us to do. Follow HIM and HIS law rather than man. HE is fulfilling HIS promises of exposing things done in the dark to the light which is truth. HE told us how to heal our lands and we are not doing it.
Exactly!! “Choose you this day whom you will serve”. It’s never been more black and white. HE is dividing the wheat from the chaff. Big time.
Wow, I had no idea the Gainesville area was so liberal. It’s like being a conservative in Austin for us in TX.
Here's an example of how liberal: a friend lived most of their adult life in Gainesville. Moved out west - Washington - because the state of Florida was getting "too insane" during covid. Yes, Florida, a state with no restrictions, was, to them, "insane".
This person prior to cv, had recently retired from hospital nursing. Bought all the kool-aid re the shots, no matter what I said about the shots, injuries, etc, screamed at me for my choice that didn't align with her choice, would allow only vaxed people in their home, censored people on an organization's fb site they were in charge of, still has up on fb the stupid virtue signaling vaxed graphics around their photo. The last conversation with this person included them confidently parroting the shots were never supposed to prevent covid or stop the spread. End of relationship.
Part of the govt in Australia is still advertising to get people to get vaccinated and about hand washing so we can all get through this together.
You aren't the only nation with loud pushy abusive morons. Still see a few people in shopping centres with masks on.
Wow! That's insane the govt is still running that. I knew someone from the states who got stuck in Australia for the duration of the nightmare. Also refused the vax - so experienced all the bs of the surveillance and not allowed to leave the house
When Australia started lifting things there was hope, but then the Australian airlines wouldn't lift their restrictions. Finally got back around Thanksgiving 2022.
common, just say it, will ya'!?
SHE not "their" . . . no reason to use PC pronouns here.
My nephews wife is that exact person.
Well, we know something else they have in common - they're certainly not reading C&C 😅
You did yourself a favor.
I have a work-from-home colleague from Gainesville whose spouse is employed by the university. Definitely CNN/TDS.
While I like this person, I’m quietly enjoying witnessing the cognitive dissonance as every parroted CNN take crashes and the “conspiracy theories” keep being proved true.
It’s a College town.
College Town: This refrain once meant it was a cool place to hang-out and listen to music that was not played on the radio. Now it means it is an open-air insane asylum. How to remove Dr. Tar and Professor Feather from power?
1. The immediate answer is to not allow college students of any stripe to vote in local elections unless they grew up there. They aren't invested in the community and their first political act should not be to contribute to the demise of the community.
2. Allow the university students to vote a socialist order at the schools where they are being indoctrinated. The university politburo of students can then mandate that professors live in dorms and be on scholarship instead of tenure.
3. Have a DOGE commission sift through the election system and contributions. Prosecute any criminals involved and sue the large "Foundations" for the funds to correct the problems.
4. Once the obvious corruption is exposed, use that as a catalyst to: Privatize the local school system. Eliminate all funding and political positions. Education should not be a political landing place for lunatics to wash dirty campaign funds.
I have suggested #1 in conversations. Don’t know how to get that through. Most often college kids don’t live in the city where they attend. They “go home” for summer or semester breaks. Unless they live in the city where they attend college (not just live off or on campus) they should not vote there. They should go home to where they came from and vote or absentee vote. My two cents.
Exactly right. Probably it would be better if only taxpayers voted really. Short of that, a person without children (and is in most ways still a child) voting on local school boards is absurd. A person without property voting on how much tax the property owners should pay is another absurdity. What did we expect would happen? When my children try to blame my generation, I have to gently point out to them that it was my generation when we were the same age as they are now.
I align very close with you politically.
No pay taxes, no vote.
No property owned, no vote; but!,
additionally. . .
Not over 30, no vote.
Have not lived in USA for more than 10 years, no vote.
Social media posts with more than 10 approving of socialist or commie policies, no vote.
Can't pass the civics test every 10 years, no vote.
I encourage my college attending, non-taxpayers, no-rent-paying, chore-avoiding, young roommates (children) to not vote yet. If for no other reason than they are far too busy and concerned with themselves to research candidates or issues. Our broken system could use some of these small and reasonable measures.
Oh, if only… That would be so great. I’m really pro “don’t own property, no vote”. Also, I really wish we could raise the voting age. But, alas, I don’t think we could get that to pass as a law.
That's how our founders originally had it — only landholders could vote. That didn't last long, and then it was only taxpayers and "freemen." When the Emancipation Proclamation freed the slaves, they made the law that former slaves were 3/5 of one person (or vote). Modern liberals claim that means they were considered "less than whole people." No, actually it was to protect the vote where slaves who were still employed by their former masters would be told how to vote, therefore tipping the vote to the largest landholders and former slave holders.
3/5: I think the 3/5 compromise had more to do with representation. It happened in 1787, well before emancipation. It is sort of like what is happening on the Left-Coast now with the illegal slaves that are owned by the Communist elite class. The only real difference is they are counted as 100%. So we went from "Taxation without Representation" to "Representation without Taxation"
My dad told me eons ago, back in the 80s when I was a teenager, that the country was going to have real problems with so many people voting that don’t pay income taxes… he was right.
Maybe we need to increase voting age to 25, verify legal USA citizenship and I like your idea of limiting voting to taxpayers only.
I would argue it’s not the college students voting that influences the county - it’s the professors and staff that flock to a liberal institution and haven’t had a “real” job and live in Lala land. You have a LARGE population of this political type in one location.
No need to argue LizardFro, you are exactly right. I don't argue with anything that is correct if I can help it. ;). The professors are indeed the root cause that needs to be rooted out. I say, give them their deepest desire and let them become socialist. Only keep it restricted to their own domain. Once their students vote them a small salary or even take away their parking space, they will leave. You'll see, it will be socialism for thee but not for me.
I know
Or like being a conservative in Nashville, TN.
It use to be sane. But now...
I can't remember that far back. Seems that all my life they've been moving further and further left along with the Democrat party. I'm sure the music industry contributed to the corruption.
Come 15 min south to Franklin. We’re very conservative.
Seems that Memphis and Nashville are the leftist strongholds in TN.
*used to
Yep
It’s terrible. When my father was dying (not of Covid) in 2021, he was only allowed one visitor at a time at N FL Regional in Gainesville. There were a LOT of there, and they wouldn’t let us wait in the lobby…too dangerous. We were relegated to the metal benches outside. Horribly uncomfortable. We did find a work-a-round. We entered through the out-patient wing where we were allowed to wait (why were we safe in out-patient and not in in-patient??). So. Dumb. My father was NOT pleased.
All those covidians should have been held accountable for their medical tyranny.
Seems like they all slipped through.
Similar situation, horrible.
Broward county, too?? I’m glad FL DOGE is looking into both Alachua AND Broward. Robert Runcie, former Superintendent, was the WORST. Graduate of Chiefs for Change…an organization that trains sups to liberalize our schools. DOGE them all. Trim the fat and fire where necessary. Glad Desantis is cleaning house!!
Have not heard of Chiefs for Change, but I keep running across similar programs as that that have infiltrated both local gov and schools. Just read about a teacher mentoring program last week that is in dozens of local school districts (not ours...yet) that reads straight from the DEI script. "cultural competency" "equitable practices" and so on. Folks, this stuff is not going away, it's just rebranding and counting on most people not paying attention.
Nice warning—it’s very true. This is how totalitarians take over, first force people to believe in idiocy to belong to the group, next make sure they perform insufferable acts to prove their loyalty.
Really scary stuff. It reads all warm and fuzzy at first blush, but when you dig in with a critical and analytical eye, you can easily cut through the bs and see what they’re really all about. https://www.chiefsforchange.org/
Yep, they are pushing the 'scope creep' that is ballooning SD budgets everywhere. Education is somewhere buried under SJW initiatives and lots of buzzwords that obscure The Agenda. Edu-speak is its own language. This our local 'gem': https://educator-academy.org/
Clearing out DEI will take a thorough going, deep down purge conducted by a handful of willing apparatchiks at every school and institution of higher education who know the language and where the bodies are buried. As Americans, I don’t think we have the stomach for that.
DOGE is auditing Gainesville, not the county. We are praying they will hit (gut) Alachua County next!
May it spread like wildfire across this country!
Doge them for sure! Dade county should be included as that is a city rife with corruption.
Barbara Ferrer is a ghoulish nightmare that orchestrated the worst response to covid by shutting everything down-- destroying probably thousands of small businesses and putting kids behind two years in math from closing the schools. She gave us an experience of what it feels like to live under a medical dictatorship. They closed the beaches, parks, so kids had to stay in-doors. OK people viruses are killed by UV light. She was beyond stupid and everyone listened to her. But that was in L.A. county. All you had to do was go shop, go to restaurants, and breathe in a nearby county. Now L.A. schools are scrambling for students. Well, the vaccine policy doesn’t help either. Terrible person!!!
Best quote today “covid miracle: the crisis that was supposed to lock down humanity ended up unlocking reality.” And seeing people for who they really are.
Sure did wake me up.
Same here. Was somewhat on a skeptical path already, but boy has that narrowed and accelerated since 2020!
Woke me up to question the medical field I gave my best years! No vax for COVID and no more!!
Death of Dr Jeff Bradstreet in June of 2015 was what woke me up: I researched & realized the Nazis relocated to the USA, which had become the fourth reich. “Pandemic” never fooled me for one second.
It's amazing that there are so many people who do not know how to take care of themselves when they have a flu...or when they feel it moving into their chests....outdoors and sunshine work wonders...why it was so crazy to shut down outdoors recreation.
I find more and more people don’t know the basic measures of self-care.
I credit this lack of knowledge to the burgeoning rise of Urgent Care on every corner for the Sickbay Commandos who can’t cope with a splinter.
Exactly.
I wonder if this "learned helplessness" is somehow related to the whole "special snowflake" concept that was used in schools.
The Last Straw for hubby and me was when Governor Nuisance closed THE OCEAN and put armed National Guards at all entrances so no one could experience the healing properties of Sun, Salt, Sand and Water. It was SOOO much better to stay inside your Stack n Pack Highrise and day drink. 🤨
They knew that it helped defeat tuberculosis a couple of hundred years ago!
It was known in ~1903 that injecting foreign proteins into the body caused allergic reactions & sometimes anaphylaxis.
Someone won a Nobel prize for establishing this!
This phenomenon is the basis for illnesses autoimmune, cardiovascular + cancers, which were rare before vaccination began.
Blood stasis began to be seen & treated shortly after 1800, with the smallpox vaccines. This another underlying condition of diseases, nerve damage & early death.
A Midwestern Doctor has a lot to say about the history of medicine, what intelligent doctors thought about vax injuries & early treatments that worked.
Yes! I love Midwestern Doctor!
Me too!
It's the "give me a prescription" generation....for EVERYTHING!
My 60 yo friend still behaves this way :(
So many people have blindly followed what is "recommended." Sad, indeed.
Absolute insanity. Would be walking a deserted park path and someone with a mask would walk by me and turn to the side so as to not face me as they walked by LMFAO
Hold my beer.
In Pennsylvania, we had Dr. Richard Levine who went by the name "Rachel."
And sage advice given during covid, "wash your hands for as long it takes you to sing Happy Birthday."
Here in the People's Republic of Washington State, people were allowed out on their boats but were not allowed to fish! Make it make sense...
Mrs. "the Knife"
I’ve lived here in Washington state for 41 years and seen it go downhill. Seattle is at the core of the rot. All that said, to ask if I can borrow your people‘s Republic of Washington. 😂
By all means, use it with my blessing!! :-)
Mrs. "the Knife"
Those fish were infected, no doubt.
Same guy who moved his mom out of long-term care facility because he knew what was coming. (NYC)
Admiral Levine just got fired! Both of them, both Richard and Rachel. Hooray!
This is on a different note, but the same state....California. This is yet the latest garbage their state legislature is terrible to push through. Rather scary... but everyone needs to know... even in other states!

Jack Hibbs is a WARRIOR!!
Yes, he is! We need more pastors like him who are not afraid to speak the truth, regardless of any consequences!
WOW..... I can't 'like' this but thank you for posting.
I do understand!
Deb, thanks for sharing this info. I am going to work to go to this! Got to make a stand against this bill and this kind of evil legislation. Anyone else?
(Maybe we could have a C&C Family meet up time?)
Thank you for sharing this! I pray you and so many others are able to attend this. I am in TEXAS and not able to be there. But we will be praying for all who attend!
AB495 is a terrible bill, how do they come up with this garbage? Isn’t this another Scott Wiener creation?
Dear C&C Army, please watch the video above that Deb shared. Pray, share and find a way to be at the Capitol in Sac, CA. Please get there anyway you can. “As California goes, so goes the whole country.”
Sounds like want to legalize kidnapping.
And yet they are electing a whole new bevy of DEI practitioners. It's like watching a horror movie of an easily transmitted brain infection overtaking.....wait. Never mind.
Trump has amassed a $1.4B+ war chest for the midterms.
And the Dems are basically bankrupt.
Whoops!
🙏🏻 that is really true, & no rhinos emerge
Unfortunately Trump is working with the RINOs and neocons like Lindsay Graham.
But he has a narrow lead in the Senate so I guess he's stuck with these characters.
Hopefully we trade some of them out in the upcoming cycles...
I don’t like those people anymore than you do, but the inability to compromise in a pluralistic society like ours either means you're out of office, or you become a dictator. I think this can be taken as a good sign Trump isn’t a dictator, despite all the proclamations to the contrary.
Hope he doesn’t spend to much against Thomas Massie who is one of the very few principled, Libertarian conservatives in congress.
Yes. 100%.
What, they spent all their billion on Kamala and Walz?
And USAID + Act Blue fake donations got outed & stopped
Now if were supporting _real_ conservatives and not RINOs. I know for TX, he said he'd support many of the RINOs here because they voted for school choice or some such nonsense. Ignoring what _else_ they voted for and what they keep doing to the state....
Hoping that finally closing the primaries and so many voters tired of the shenanigans will lead to the TX legislature getting a much-needed makeover and the "R" congress-critters are voted out.
Doged them out of existence, well almost.
We in Naples, FL had no idea Gainesville was not also Red until we sent our son there to UF and even though school was shutdown during the Pandemic, the liberal part of our state affected his views. Ugh! So much for the education. On another note, I do believe we are to care for this planet that God entrusted to us and for a moment I was considering an electric vehicle, don’t worry, my husband got to me and showed that the batteries are anything but sustainable and not beneficial to the planet. And on yet another note (much to comment on today) my husband who was top of his class at THE Ohio State University and given recommendations by the Medical Director of the hospital was flat out told that there were too many white men and he needed to reapply next year, this was in 1997 and we didn’t know about DEI, he was then wait listed at another medical school due to, “too many white males” and he tutored many who got in ahead of him. He has been a practicing Urologist now for 18 years (minus the time he was terminated while on his death bed for COVID which almost killed him and resulted in a double lung transplant) but he’s back even though the hospital refused the ivermectin script he wrote for himself and forced remdesivir on him. I have left you messages Jeff in case you want to take us on 😊
Wow.
Bring those villains to justice. 🙏🏼
Wow. If they did that to a doctor…..
Yes to this 🙌 Go Jeff !
The best benefit of all that med school is being able to write yourself a script!!
Omgoodness. I can’t even imagine. You are a warrior family. Praying for you
"a 3.5 GPA or a top-third class ranking"?
So, if you go to a school where two-thirds of the graduates read at a first-grade level or below, and you read at a second-grade level, you are a viable candidate for a government position.
Some people are able to test well and others are naturally smart, with common sense. The current educational system is a joke, including most (not all) those who test well and have “better grades”, but no common sense and are unable to apply what they have learned in one area to another area.✌🏼🫶🤠
Some people suffer from test panic and that's unfortunate. But objective testing is the best way to assess competence in whatever the test is designed to measure. Anything else is subjective and totally unreliable. If one person can answer the questions correctly, and a second person gets them wrong, I'm going with person #1.
That explains a great many things.
I worked for the govt. Left quickly as I could not believe the BS in so many departments. I gave up great benes and pay but decided self-respect and dignity come first. What an eye opener that experience was. Good Bye and Good Riddens.
It's gubmint
Steve Turley talks about how the Supreme Court may be ending race-based gerry-mandered Congressional districts, which will totally detonate the Dems.

I'm here for it!
The end of credentialism couldn’t come soon enough. College towns like Gainesville are full of demoralized commissars. Sweeney’s W and Jaguar’s L are encouraging steps in the counter cultural revolution: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/winning-americas-counter-cultural-revolution
Meritocracy is Back! Common Sense is Back! Covidian Insanity is falling apart!
Until the next pandemic.
Yeah, things are much better. Basic human nature is still the same, and the fear and guilt cards will work like magic on most. Instead of 97%, maybe it will be more like 80%, which is progress.
What's going to come first, another pandemic or war?
🙏🙏
Jeff, I can't believe that people in your district are still wearing masks. Wait a minute, my wife's cardiologist is still wearing one! What in the world is going on-do people in this day and age actually believe in zombies?
We will not see a doctor that believes in the shots or masks. Time to find a new doctor.
I do not go to doctors. I get all my medical information and advice from the internet.
The internet can't thoroughly clean and stitch up a gaping wound. Or write a scrip for doxy if you get a tick bite and have the lyme rash. We've been lucky lately and when we've needed those interventions, the docs have ranged from pretty decent to stellar. Those running the medical system are psychopathic monsters, but there are some very decent doctors thank God. But for everything but trauma care and occasional need for an antibiotic (when truly needed) the system is best avoided.
You can get antibiotics through the Wellness Company. I have my doxycycline stored for usage.
yes, and a number of other places too.
Goldcare,
Push,
IndiaMart
TeliRx. I ordered extra thyroid prescription from them just to have on hand in case of emergency/pharma shutoff.
Just took a peek. They don't cary liothyronine (T3) unfortunately.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!
I use Energy Density Frequency Medicine.
🤣
Just as an aside, this is for pet parents. Merck is now marketing a new saRNA (self amplifying) Rabies vax called Novibac NXT. No long term studies. It is also in the process of marketing the same for feline leukemia and dog flu. Ask to see the label before giving this to your pet. Best to get the "old" vaccine that is the “thimerosal free” version. Hope this helps anyone who has pets.
I've never understood the plethora of zombie movies, series and their popularity. I think it has something to do with de-humanizing our humanity as a means of rendering morality meaningless and null. On that basis, depopulation progroms become acceptable and "normal".
Afterthought:
And bear in mind, who is the audience that these programs are aim at and influence? Their audience are impressionable young people who lack the maturity of us older folks to be more skeptical. And then there is the TV series "The 100". "The 100" is a blatant display of moral relativism and ambiguity influencing a younger generation who already lack any moral framework due to their poor, state "education".
Maybe it’s to make people suspicious of other people - just as we saw in covid.
Your neighbor’s not your neighbor suddenly - they’re a source of contagion.
So you’d better beg the government to control him. And you better obey the rules yourself as well. 🙄
The Covidians ARE the zombies!!!
"...depopulation progroms..." I like it, a blending of programs and pogroms. Add it to the dictionary!
I think they’re now using it to hide their faces. They feel more powerful, but in an incognito way.
their faces
Fixed. Thanks!
Why is it that most of the mask wearing lunatics are at the front of the classroom or leading some alleged community program? Is it because the non enlightened great unwashed see it as some cosmic signal that they can't seem to receive through their foil hats? Ultimately they are sucked into the black hole of conformity??..Just say'n
Yes, it’s Oregon, but a friend went to physical therapy the other day, and the therapists were all wearing masks. He asked why. Because the hospitals are experiencing an outbreak of illness and are trying to stay ahead of it, and if you don’t wear the mask, they won’t refer patients to you. Insanity. Oh, and Walgreens is advertising flu and COVID shots again… in August!
VA still giving the covid DeathVax to veterans.
There's supposedly two waves of C0VID now: summer and winter.
Strangely enough, I never remember getting sick in the summer when I was younger. Sure, I had "allergies," but that was much later in life. Not "sick."
If you're curious about the current state of C0VID, check out this sub reddit:

The comments are... interesting.
UGH!!!
And she's still seeing them?
Would love to know the cardiologist's reasoning for continued mask-wearing.
Not me. I waste enough time without deliberately seeking nonsense.
Same!
Same with my rheumatologist!
“I guess Jaguar decided its new electric customer base is flamboyant transexxuals.”
That’s the stupidity of all this. Know your customer base! It’s irresponsible of a company to alienate most of their customers. Like so many have done in the past 5 years. Bud Light learned the hard way. So did Target. Jaguar is too, thankfully.
The ones who live off govt assistance, refuse to work, and want everything for free are not the ones purchasing your stuff. It’s not rocket science. (Although I must admit Jaguar isn’t even a thought in our hardworking budget).
You said it right, Jeff! And their reward? Selling almost no cars. GOOD! Learn the hard way, it’s delicious for us bystanders to taste.
I want a new pink Jag. I'm gonna offer them $20 cash money.
With the money you'll save you can have a custom jock strap fashioned for your new pink Jag!!
Gotta have hopes and dreams, huh?
or, just take it over to a local collision shop(my son owns one) and have it repainted.
🎯 💪🏻 🙌
Even if I was a flamboyant transsexual with a lot of cash, I wouldn’t buy the new Jaguar because I would be concerned that I couldn’t get replacement parts when the company goes under in the near future.
Er, traditionally, Jags only need replacement parts every week.
While they might have learned these ads are bad for business, they outed themselves as woke enemies of people who think like I do. So, I remember that. I'll never buy another Anheiser Busch product, except when cornered and even then only if I really, really want that beer. The other day my choice was 3 AB products I like OK or an IPA that I don't much care for. I got the IPA. It helped the IPA is named for a trout stream made famous by Hemingway - Two-Hearted ale. I really wish I liked that beer.
yep, IPA is dang hoppy; I like it but rather have a brown ale or porter.
ANY are better than AB crapp. My go to beer for "light" has been Coors ever since this queer debacle. . .
Covid was absolutely the inflection point. I watched the alternative anti-establishment non-conformist peace-loving free-speech liberal socialists suddenly turn into authoritarian fascists. It was shocking to see and they've never turned back. If anything, they've doubled down. The thing is, I doubt many of them realize this.
Covid wasn't an intelligence test.
It was a conformity test, and they expected 100% compliance.
The non-conformers effed it up for those being the operation, and now, people can see that those who are not injected do not have broken immune systems.
I would argue they started in 2016, because Trump. Covid was just gasoline on the fire.
