Apocalyptic trade war cools as stocks soar; Trump spikes pharma panic with price-cut tweet; AOC eyes White House; peace talks follow Trump tweet; EU leaders star in cocaine train farce.
Anything to stop these drug commercials which are basically 10 seconds of explanation of the drug's actual use and 80 seconds listing the side effects. All accompanied, of course, by the painful singing and dancing.
I've read some commentary from people who are saying that such "price controls" are blatant communism but I don't get why. He's assuring that we pay the same price as everyone else. And why not? I mean it's not like Switzerland and Japan are impoverished Third World countries...
Just returned from a visit to Switzerland. Our driver shared his costs for medical coverage: mandatory payments of 600 (Swiss francs) per adult per month and 300 per child per month, which, in his case comes to 2100/month. The exchange rate was approx $1.25 USD/1 SF. They also have deductible and 10% of the total amount for procedure payments. Pharmaceuticals may cost less there but the gov mandated ‘insurance’ costs are mind-blowing.
There is unknown danger of paralyzing your stomach/gastro tract using ozempic or its cousins. But small print on packaging says 'take for lifetime'. A great deal of the body's serotonin (like 90%) and smaller but still significant amount of dopamine — is made in the gut. And specifically in the cells lining the gut (known as enterochromafffin cells). What does paralyzing this part of the body do to production of these neurotransmitter/hormones that play a critical role in regulating our mood, sleep, learning and general well-being? This drug may lead to negative mental health outcomes, that only long-term studies can capture. It all seems very UNNATURAL to me.
"Side effects may include turning gay and acquiring an affinity for trilbies. If your uncontrollable samba dancing lasts for more than 4 hours, see a doctor."
Yup. No problem knowing the pills and such have side effects but they just don’t think they will happen to them. But Vaccines/-pushed into their very veins are 100% lacking any harms whatsoever.
Talk about DEI. They started off with a brunette, then went to the redhead, then the black woman, and now they have the men’s softball team. Got all the bases covered.
Akin to a surreal musical number from a overproduced over budget ridiculous Hollywood musical celebrating insulin dependence … who could think of anything more distasteful … wait for it … I’m sure they are working on it now with a award-winning pharmaceutical advertising agency somewhere in hell.
So Jeff linked to the regular video that cut off right after they grabbed the paraphernalia. Here’s a link to the whole video - in slow motion - and near the end it captures Macron moving the “tissue/packet” into his pocket. (I vaguely remember also seeing a video yesterday someone posted of Macron’s sleight of hand skills as he removed his expensive watch during an interview when discussing financial sacrifices they wanted people to make.)
Please note my subsequent reply to this comment giving the opposing viewpoint/hypothesis as well. I don’t claim to know which is the truth and sadly given our present day media, image editing, and AI I don’t think any of us can. I just thought it appropriate to present all sides.
So this post links to the full regular speed video. Scroll down in the comments and they show high resolution photos of the Kleenex and stir stick. It may very well be just idiots who are always consciously aware of photo ops not having garbage in the pic, so this may not be drug related - IF the high res images are to be trusted that is.
There definitely seemed to be some looks exchanged between these guys as they settled in trying their best to look nonchalant - like "do you think anyone noticed?", "nothing to see here", and "just pretend nothing happened".
The "Kleenex" definitely looks more like a bindle fold than a used nose rag, and you can make out the metallic reflectivity of the spoon as they pass behind it before settling in.
Might as well have been a little bottle of K-Y and some condom wrappers... (sorry folks!)
Why.....do you idiots think we fall for tissue paper/cocaine crap. Stick to the truth and call this kind of crap out. THIS is how the left rolls...stop it
It IS drug-related. If you’ve ever been around it you’d know it. Typical behavior. Typical accouterments. In the U.S. it’s tiny plastic bags. In Europe they use paper folded into packets.
It wouldn’t make any sense for them to do cocaine at a meeting. If I had a snot rag on the table and reporters with cameras came in, I would hide it quickly too.
Or, hear me out, just stop getting us sick with their other "drugs" and we won't need the drugs in the first place! BTW, I asked Venice.AI about prices for Keytruda, a cancer drug my mother took (Yes she got cancer soon after the jabs in 2021 and passed away in 2024). Here in the U.S., Keytruda costs $22,000 per month. Germany? $2100! U.K.? $2200! Incidentally Keytruda sales went from about $11billion in 2020 to over $25 billion in 2023
After curing my wife's stage 2B breast cancer holistically, we don't even take aspirin anymore (forget the #, but it's 30-65 people) die each year from aspirin. Almost everything big Pharma makes is toxic . Still use Ivermectin and Fenben though. I said it before and I'll say it again, except for the 2 drugs I listed, Every cancer drug is highly toxic and will kill you if the underlying causes don't kill you first. Change your lifestyle and you can cure almost anything.
@Roland- can't cure my husband's AFib and PVCs holistically. Suffered myocarditis after his second Moderna shot (yes, even 65 yr old men can get it! Myocarditis- not just for teens!) and he's left with the above maladies.
There are no quick cures for most problems. A lifetime of poor diet choices, and in your husband's case, the unfortunate decision to take the jabs, cannot be cured quickly. I have no idea if any issues caused by the jab can be reversed by any means. That is uncharted waters. That said, I don't have faith in anything Big Pharma gives anyone who is jabbed to ameliorate what they have done.
Everyone has to make their own choices with their health. All I know is the body's natural immune system is unmatched in its healing abilities IF you give it the minerals vitamins and enzymes it needs AND you detoxify your liver , gallbladder, kidneys, and lymphatic system. As an example, 80K gallbladders (at a cost of $11 billion )are removed every year, all of which could be avoided simply by doing monthly liver and gallbladder flushes until you purge those organs of ALL gallstones.
Yes, my mom has aFib, dx in 2012 and has a pacemaker and takes warfarin - which means she has to watch her diet and monitor her INR. She refuses any of the newer blood thinners due to the side effects. Not sure if there is a 'lifestyle' answer at this point. She is in an AL facility due to arthritis and balance issues making it hard for her to get around but is 86 and only takes 3 prescriptions. At this point in her life it is what it is, not going to rock the boat as her current path has gotten her this far. She did get the first 2 covid shots but had skin issues after and her PC doc told her not to get any more thank goodness, as she refused to listen to me.
Step one would be detoxing. Gotta clean out the terrain so that the body can continue it's efforts at detoxing. I agree with rolandttg that the human body can heal itself if given the right tools/support. Adding more drugs to the mix if they don't support the healing and add more toxicity can be problematic, especially when they treat symptoms only.
Look into Dr McCollough spike protein protocol. Nattokinase,bromelain and curcumin! Large dry doses, I took for a year, my heart pain and palpitations are gone!!! The spike protein is a silent killer!
DMSO has helped my arthritis, swollen finger joints and pain left all but one finger after a few weeks of taking it orally. It also prevented my husband from needing corticosteroids spine injections for back pain after a few weeks of topical application.
Also Dr. Paul Marik’s book “Cancer Care, The role of Repurposed Drugs & Metabolic Interventions in Treating Cancer”. Check out Chris Wark’s site as well. He beat stage 4 cancer 20 years ago, published a book “ Chris Beat Cancer”
Also the pine needle tea or 100% pure gum turpentine (distilled from pine tree resin).
Why? Answer: Cancer is caused by parasite egg cysts, which are produced by the tens of thousands. Cysts accumulate over time, so older people get cancer as their immune system weakens and is overloaded. Vaccines (+ chemtrails + in food/ water) cause artificial cysts via phospholipid nanoparticles and/or spike protein. Vaccines also destroy the immune system. Hence type 4 turbo cancers. Good news is these are got rid of by antiparasitics. May also explain why nicotine works? (displaces spike protein)
Treatment is for 3 days, with 5 days off. Gradually lengthen cycle to 3 days a month for maintenance. I'm sure there are other causes of cancer, but I thought this was pretty exciting!
Also consider the miraculous Tesla Machine https://tzla.club/ At $11,000 is it not cheap, but what price health? Use the coupon "IGAN" for a $500 discount. I have no financial interest in promoting this. Good results have been achieved by Dr. Ana Mihalcea in treating vaccine damaged patients ~ including reversal of type 4 cancers, clearing clots and normalising the blood.
Nancy - take a look at this re Ivermectin and some of the studies being done re cancer - looks promising. There are other anti-parasite and anti fungal drugs that also have shown promise in mitigating tumor growth.
I think there's a "My Cancer Story Rocks" group out there or something similar. And the normal disclaimers - this doesn't necessarily work for all types of cancer, results may vary, this is not to be confused with medical advice, etc. :/
Recently learned of a man who had cancer as a child (in the ‘70s) and is now suffering from the damage done to him from chemo back then. Yes, he lived 50 years after treatment but is now showing debilitating effects.
Would like to see that in a study someplace. Ivermectin has been in use for over 40 years with over 4 BILLION doses administered world wide. Until the covid hysteria, it was on the World Health Org’s list of essential medicines. (Not sure if “the powers that be” removed it once it proved to be inconvenient to Big Pharma re the covid jabs.)
I’ve found recommended doses of IVM and fenben for treating cancer, but can’t find much information for preventing recurrence. Can you share what doses your wife still takes?
She is taking the 10 pound dog amount, or 222mg. That is what she took when she first got her diagnosis, still 3X peer week, with vitamin E with tocotrienols, and CBD. After she saw Dr. Tennant in Irving TX, she upped it to his recommendation of 500 mg, but after her nagaleses cancer tracking numbers came down, he said go back to a maintenance dose of 222mg. I take that too, but once a month just for parasites just in case. She still does it weekly
A I said, we did not include the IV protocol. but my understanding would be 6 mg for a maintenance dose, and 12-20 for a "I still have a problem "dose. I can tell you from information from a friend who got transverse myelitis from the jab that she is on 20 mg of IV, I think daily for her problems. Have not seen he in over a year, so not sure of her current dose. The doctor who gave that dosage and other recommendations to her like Nattokinase and NAC ( 1500-2000mg / day) s the same doctor who treats Dr. Robert Malone, who lives about an hour from us. Your husband should be taking those too, which we do too.
Often referred to as "the US overhang", I've been talking for YEARS about the US funding R&D for the rest of the world.
Most countries with socialized medicine require drugs to be sold at "cost plus". That "plus" is usually a nominal amount (10%, 20%) of cost for overhead and profit.
So pharma simply cannot make any profit in the rest of the world. Nearly all profit comes from the US.
As is typical of socialism/communism it works until you run out of other people's money. And Trump has just told the rest of the world they have done just that.
But don't forget what is in the background of this richly deserved screwing over: Our Congress and the FDA allowed OUR screwing to go on for decades and happily accepted the money that came with their acquiescence.
I'm pretty sure they make plenty of financial gains from the rest of the world. It's the only explanation of why certain things are pushed. They just make even more money from the US.
Something this fraudulent I don't like to term "profit" which ought to be fair gain for fair products.
Actually it is even worse than what it seems at first glance. In addition to the US having to pay all of the "research costs" and hence 100x the drug prices paid in Europe, during the same time period we have been subsidizing the defense of Europe so their money was freed up to provide universal health care and free drugs to their people. We paid twice.
My husband’s mom passed this year from turbo cancer. Her single Keytruda infusion almost killed her, but definitely shortened her lifespan and increased her suffering.
The side effects were horrible and she was almost unrecognizable due to the swelling. She was all about the jab and trusted only her medical team. SMH
I too lost my younger brother, colon cancer, about a year post his J&J. Last time I saw him was after another colon surgery, he was being kept alive as a lab rat (in my opinion) Keytruda was on the experimental list. He was cured about two weeks after that visit, thank you Jesus.
That’s what’s coming. He’s gonna hurt the media so bad, and pharma at the same time. Pharma will save trillions in advertising costs, so they can afford to lower their prices. Please God,make it so.
I can't stand those pharma ads. Especially "Jordan and her breasts." Don't take the clot shots and all their other shots and you will dramatically lower your risk of all cancers, diseases, illnesses up to and including death.
The first time I heard that I thought I misheard that. Just disgusting. The drug companies are shameless. and the actor who they featured is equally shameless.
But that's how they keep true investigative journalism off their backs. If we didn't have those kickbacks, they'd never be able to make those profits....
I'm pretty sure with the kind of money they make, they have goon squads on call to ensure no investigative journalism ever happens. Not that many media outlets hire anyone qualified to do investigative journalism, anyway..
Their job is to lower drug costs…. for insurers and insurance companies.
“They accomplish this by negotiating with pharmacies and drug manufacturers. The discounts are then passed on to the insurance companies. Profits are generated through a slight up-charging of drugs or by retaining portions of rebates.”
Agree 100%. When you have health insurance and the price you pay at the pharmacy for a drug is higher than the CASH PRICE, it becomes obvious that there is some serious grifting going on.
When you realize that companies like United Health own the Doctors, the hospitals, the Pharm-Benefit LLCs, the pharmacies and the insurers themselves, you start to say HMMM
I've heard the prices are ridiculously high due to PBM's Pharmacy Benefit Managers (aka Middle men in the form of insurance companies) who double or triple the prices. It seems that the PBM's make more than the drug companies do, not that the Pharma companies aren't making more than their share of billions while deceiving people about the effectiveness of their products.
Big Harma will have to cut their advertising budget to make up the loss of revenue from overcharging Americans. So it's a start. They will have to cut down the number of overweight dancers in their commercials. Lol. 😄
If the docs aren’t driven by competing drug prices maybe they will recommend safer and healthier options. I suppose many of them would have to get an entirely new education first, but it’s doable. I am cautiously optimistic as usual.
Trump cutoff the Money Spigot that fuels Pharma Ads and Kickbacks. Americans (hopefully) were financing their own physical demise by over paying for drugs.
Regarding Pharma ads on TV, RFK Jr said in his recent interview with Brett Baier (well worth seeing, also included Dr. Oz, Marty Makary and Jay Bhattacharya) that the drug companies advertise to consumers who don't pay for the drugs, to demand the drug from doctors who don't pay for the drugs; the taxpayers pay for the drugs. Then the pharmaceutical companies get a tax deduction for their advertising expenses. It does sound crazy.
Two years ago I went out in my neighborhood on Halloween wearing my "Pfreedom: Safe and effective" tee shirt, which I had added onto with six hypodermics filled with colorful liquids protruding from my shoulders - I also made my skin very pale and had some sickly-looking makeup around my eyes. It was my "jab victim" costume, a follow-up to my "Dr. Fauci" costume from the year before, where I went around in a lab coat and a VERY Fauci-looking old man mask with a big, scary-looking hypodermic offering "boostahs" to everyone with my bad Brooklyn accent. Oh yeah - I also had a sign pinned to the back of my lab coat that read, "Fauci 2024: Because I already run the country". Did I mention I'm a master at subtlety?
Anyway, a few months ago I was talking to one of my neighbors from up the street (who had most likely seen both of these costumes) only to discover that he works for Pfizer as a drug rep - he's the guy going around to the hospitals and medical clinics offering incentives to push his company's poisons. He lives pretty well, as you can imagine. I had to cut off that conversation pretty quickly, as after I found out what he did for a living, I got a distinctly "icky" feeling and was feeling compelled to punch the guy. He's an otherwise nice, normal dude, who just happens to get paid nicely to do Satan's work.
You can't stop them from advertising, but you CAN change the tax code so that advertising to someone who is legally incapable of buying the product (on their own) becomes non-deductible. That would effectively stop the advertising since Big Pharma isn't going to want to pay that bill by themselves.
It would also remove a very long lever Big Pharma has over network news coverage :-)
You CAN stop them from advertising. They weren't always allowed to do direct marketing to consumers - we could just go back to the way things were before this was allowed.
When the WSJ writes “a person familiar with”. This is code for we just made this shit up. Just as the NYT uses anonymous all of the time who has never ever once got it right.
Today's WSJ quotes Green Sweatshirt as saying, "Ill Be Waiting" in response to Putin's offer of peace talks. As if Zelensky(y) is the adult who holds all the cards instead of the fool watching what is left of his country disintegrating piece by piece.
Old libbies over 55 are useless. In the retirement community I lived in they were the most unhappy and unhealthy people around. During the last presidential election they put up flag signs saying "chose joy." I thought they should be taking their own advice. They weren't joyful when their gal, kamala, lost. It was fun laughing at them. 😉
Thank you for making news fun again. My favorite line, which sums up the media coverage of Trump perfectly: "Trump could cure cancer, and they’d run with headlines like, “Biotech layoffs surge after oncology disruption.”
If Jeff ever decides to hang up his Substack gig (Sacre bleu!) he can use his talent for writing headlines. They are much funnier and more informative.
Mr. Barrett, an 83 year old "aging Boomer", is an absolute dolt and an embarrassment to the rest of us who can think straight. Was he also a Bernie Bro? Now he is eager to sit at the bar and drink with AOC.
"Working Class" and groomed for her role, just as Obama was picked from a roster of imposters for his. A Non-Trans LatinX woman who'll pick an older, chronic-liar White Guy (CO Governor Polis? Denver mayor?) for VP....could work with enough mailed ballots and stakeholder-citizen voters in key precincts in swing states; Beat the Cheat 2028 better get started NOW
You can get her clothing will start to get tighter,little more cleave working, as time goes on. She has an incredible figure, and she’ll be using it soon.
Sadly, far too many who consume MSM as "valid". They even got to some of my more level-headed family members because they tuned out reality in favor of being told what to think. :(
My mom was like that -- and "but my doctor told me", which I'm pretty sure is why she's dead now. And my step-mom is the same way - devoid of critical thinking skills. My dad is a little more wary, but now he's deep into his Alzheimer's, so whatever he had once is now gone. He was hep enough to distrust the boosters, but went for the initial jab..
83 is not a boomer. By accepted definition baby boomers are those born after 1945. Those of is born in the early forties are war babies. As one of those I’m ashamed of this senile old fart.
Mr. Barrett is too old to be an "aging boomer". He's actually a member of the "silent" generation which is somewhat ironic in light of his obvious babbling!
Do you think most boomers trust the news more than the next generation? My FIL seems to trust it and he is conservative. He can't seem to break free of covid lies.
Yes, it seems that way to me as well! My older friends/family members (mid 70s-low 80s) are glued to their respective national news channels and believe everything they hear.
The irony is that half are hard right and they only trust Fox News, while the other half are hard left and are equally addicted to MSNBC!
Both sides refuse to listen to anyone else and neither, frankly, has a good grasp on what is actually happening in the world!
They did grow up in the age of TV when the mkultra programs kicked in and nobody saw it coming or questioned it.
It is really hard to let go of everything you have been taught and consider everything was a lie or half truths to make you think a certain way... especially history and science. Any ideas I have of history are from school and documentaries that skew the truth. Now I think the opposite and get a better idea.
Technically no 80+ yr olds are boomers but i do see more & more writers (younger ones) including them. That said, ima middle of the pack boomer woman that smh at the aoc commie crap
👍 but technically an 83 yr old is too old to be boomer anyways.. more and more writers im noticing have expanded the upper age limits of boomers for whatever reasons🤣
"A person familiar with her thinking" has discovered a talent that the world has missed in AOC: The ability to think. And silly me: I never realized that accumulating tens of millions of dollars of personal wealth on a congressperson's salary "is working-class as hell".
Just finished the section on tariffs and how the whole economy is looking up and it reminded that I just heard this morning that the US jobs numbers for April came in at 177k when 133k was expected. And even better, 100% of those jobs were PRIVATE SECTOR jobs (ref Peter St Onge’s Monday morning podcast.... highly recommend, it’s informative and only 20 min). Massive difference than the last 4 years. I love the way trends are moving right now. Really hoping congress will get off their collective butts and make these great moves permanent. Why are they so lame?
Because their goals are so different than yours. Theirs include getting re-elected and becoming rich while on a congressional salary as so many of their predecessors have done.
The European elite, specifically the UK, German, and French "leaders", are truly disgusting human beings. They are sybarites with no moral compass, and are likely COMPLETELY amoral.
Did a quick scan of comments and so far no one has taken the low road humor of a Grateful Dead reference to their song Casey Jones ... "driving that train, high on cocaine ..." Come on, Dead Heads, get with it.
Yeah, that's evidence of cocaine use with those 3 bozos. I'm guessing that if Gavin Newsom and Baby Back Ribs Pritzker had been on that train, they'd have been in on it too. Progressives/liberals/globalists/authoritarians are just all too easy to figure out. What a bunch of drug-addled idiots.
I love that Jeff thought they would have the munchies because it proofs he's never done coke. Unfortunately, coke is like speed and you aren't hungry but you do become super talkative and think everything you say is brilliant. My lying eyes say they were covering for Zelinksky's paraphernalia left on the table. Or, that's the part I'm not sure of 'cause I don't think they are all coke heads. What do you think?
All of them are in the social class that uses coke, and they have nothing but contempt for rules they impose on the rest of us, so I’m guessing they are all coke heads.
Watch macrons eyebrows. There’s a number of this vid, as more than one camera caught it. He’s got the blowbrows working. Way too big smiles, it’s rather obvious.
I’m from that generation and no one told me that I was to be “Silent!” Well, I had some teachers tell me that and that’s how I taught myself to write with 2 pencils at the same time to cut 300 sentences into 150 of, “I do have a responsibility to my teacher and to myself.” That’s how I learned to spell “Responsibility” and I only had to do the sentence sentencing once. I learned how to write, spell and speak out; quickly, quietly and in codes. Yes. We had a Club of Non-silenced 6th graders!
I married a slightly younger man thinking we’d grow old harmoniously but now I find we are different generations! I’m a boomer and he’s a Jones Generation. Oh my!
Great, coked up “leaders” discussing how to continue sending young and old people from the Ukraine to the front lines until they can finally get American young men and women into the Scamlenskyy war.
That will not happen on Trump's watch, but I am sure AOC, advised by Bernie, would be more than happy to go along with it, as well as share the blow with them. Democrats are now the pro-war, pro-military/industrial complex party, and don't forget it. And they will lie about it to the bitter end.
Prescription drug prices: what about the idea of people, especially Americans, taking less of these toxic substances? I don’t see that thought even mentioned here.
@Cathleen- agreed. While many maladies need chemical intervention, many don't. It's one of the problems with the mental health system: doctors are so overwhelmed, they simply throw meds at patients instead of the mental health system being shored up to help those patients.
I disagree that meds are being thrown at patients with mental issues by doctors because doctors are overwhelmed. Drugs are the protocol. Just as drugs are the protocol in every other medical problem. Treat the symptom. Don't look for the source of the problem. Don't look at how else the medical issues could be dealt with through diet and life style. Just take a pill.
If they lower drug prices and bring the options to a level or closer to level playing field, the drug dealers will go bust or learn a new game. In the process some will learn the healthier way and offer that to patients. This is the most optimistic game plan. Unfortunately most humans don’t change until they are forced to.
I forsee Pharma companies splitting profits with middlemen who keep the prices higher. Big Parma will have legally distinct companies acting as those middlemen.
Saw the China tariff 90-day changes and thought that's got to be a good thing. But of course, people want to scream about DJT so they'll find something else. Cue the drug price caps, which are _LONG_ overdue. It's crazy that he helped insulin prices last term, Biden raised them, now people are squawking that Trump wants to cap all med prices. Then to raise a cry about stock prices? I just don't understand who's coming up with the talking points for the (D)ifferent people. Running on "anything Trump does we oppose" is just ludicrous at this point. It's pretty clear that he's got the general public behind him on most of these things, even if the MSM polls try to show otherwise.
Personally, the idea of an AOC candidacy is a little scary to me. Look at how many votes Harris got just to vote against Trump. AOC may be foolish, but she does have more charisma, so there's a good chance too many won't look at any of her actual policy ideas, but concentrate on the "not MAGA" aspect. :( I think she'd be a foolish choice and would lose all debates handily, but - that's why we don't have debates any more.
I never said there were any _good_ policy ideas. Green New Deal and Taxing the Rich are the first things that come to mind - now some sort of "fight the oligarchy while flying on private jets" tour or something to that effect. But - too many voters go based on the feels and not any information so they won't look at the reality for those proposals. Add in that the MSM props up that sort of nonsense and will push hard for her or a candidate like her, and there's far too much support for a candidate who would not put USA first. :(
Of course, maybe with the heat on Act Blue and USAID funding all sorts of nonsense, the chances for a candidate like this dwindle somewhat.
Peter, you are spot on. Just look north of your border to the country known as Area 51. The party projected to win a super majority in January went on to lose the election in April. The liberals brought in a new party leader and focused on Trump and his statement about making canada the fifty first state. The boomers in eastern Canada fell for it and now we are done as a country.
Recall the book, 'Opium Wars' involving China and the West. They haven never forgotten that! Note also, China doesn't have a drug problem like the West, why? China executes every dealer they discover. But China DOES facilitate drug distribution to the West. Along with every other adversary we have. Get the picture yet?
Speaking of fentanyl, there’s a journalist named Sam Cooper that wrote a book about the drug trade in Canada, how it comes into our ports from china and distributed to the US and Mexico. The book is called Wilful Blindness. He has had several threats to his safety.
The Vancouver Port is owned by China so there is no policing what is coming in. The Chinese owned the Port of Los Angeles until first term Trump forced them to sell it.
Guy asks his buddy how he can lose 20 pounds in a week.
Buddy responds: drink at least 2 gallons of water a day, don’t eat anything but meat, run or walk 5 miles per day, and I cannot stress this enough, do a metric 💩 ton of cocaine.
seems like drug prices could come down across the board just by eliminating the advertising and kickbacks to doctors and hospitals for prescriptions
Anything to stop these drug commercials which are basically 10 seconds of explanation of the drug's actual use and 80 seconds listing the side effects. All accompanied, of course, by the painful singing and dancing.
Don't take Profitall if you are allergic to Profitall.
That’s my favorite line! It begs the question: how do I know if I’m allergic to Profitall if I’ve never taken Profitall? Moronic.
$$$$$
CYA
The Means twins are part of the "prediabetes" mafia.
Wait till those injections hit the vaccine schedule.
" the list price for diabetes medicine Jardiance is $611 for a 30-day in the US, compared with $70 in Switzerland and only $35 in Japan."
I've read some commentary from people who are saying that such "price controls" are blatant communism but I don't get why. He's assuring that we pay the same price as everyone else. And why not? I mean it's not like Switzerland and Japan are impoverished Third World countries...
Just returned from a visit to Switzerland. Our driver shared his costs for medical coverage: mandatory payments of 600 (Swiss francs) per adult per month and 300 per child per month, which, in his case comes to 2100/month. The exchange rate was approx $1.25 USD/1 SF. They also have deductible and 10% of the total amount for procedure payments. Pharmaceuticals may cost less there but the gov mandated ‘insurance’ costs are mind-blowing.
And the entire Big Pharma/MD diabetes protocols may just be a massive SCAM... Ray Peat was a VERY sharp dude...

I don’t watch TV but it’s on at the gym. It feels like every time I look up there’s a pharma ad on and the teeny print is scrolling. It’s SO much.
These ads should stop - Immediately. So should physician kickback for prescribing...cuz we KNOW that does indeed happen - in one form or another.
Hey, maybe if their profits plummet they won't be able to afford all those tiresome ads. I say hallelujah to that possibility!
The ads are played and networks paid so that media WILL NOT investigate and report the dangers of these prescription drugs. The ads are a payoff.
Somewhere, Richard Sackler is turning over in his grave…
I was at a small family get together Saturday 3 were on ozempic or wegovy.
There is unknown danger of paralyzing your stomach/gastro tract using ozempic or its cousins. But small print on packaging says 'take for lifetime'. A great deal of the body's serotonin (like 90%) and smaller but still significant amount of dopamine — is made in the gut. And specifically in the cells lining the gut (known as enterochromafffin cells). What does paralyzing this part of the body do to production of these neurotransmitter/hormones that play a critical role in regulating our mood, sleep, learning and general well-being? This drug may lead to negative mental health outcomes, that only long-term studies can capture. It all seems very UNNATURAL to me.
Wow.
"Side effects may include turning gay and acquiring an affinity for trilbies. If your uncontrollable samba dancing lasts for more than 4 hours, see a doctor."
And your butt falls off
I'd like to see a commercial including this re the butt hole. haha
https://t.me/Phantom_Fuckery/561
That comment elicited a coffee-restraining guffaw here.
😂
🤣
Well, except the Covid jab commercials -- no side effects noted there. Which should be a big red flag to people who still know how to pay attention.
Ask your doctor If death is right for you.
Yup. No problem knowing the pills and such have side effects but they just don’t think they will happen to them. But Vaccines/-pushed into their very veins are 100% lacking any harms whatsoever.
Oh that is such an excellent point!!
The Jardiance ad drives me insane!
Talk about DEI. They started off with a brunette, then went to the redhead, then the black woman, and now they have the men’s softball team. Got all the bases covered.
Yep I noticed that too.
Hahah - "softball" -- "bases." Good one.
But..but..but, Jardiance is really swell
It's a little pill
With a big
Story to tell!
They just have so much money to spend on advertising, they come up with these Broadway-style bits.
Those vignettes are not cheap.
Those commercials are becoming more like musical productions out of Bollywood.
And a separate version for every identity group. Well except flurries. So far
Because furries take ivermectin . . . they have no need for anything else.
Akin to a surreal musical number from a overproduced over budget ridiculous Hollywood musical celebrating insulin dependence … who could think of anything more distasteful … wait for it … I’m sure they are working on it now with a award-winning pharmaceutical advertising agency somewhere in hell.
Like a mind worm. Make it stop!!!
Dancing fat pigs...
Well, it DID work to kill MY appetite!
....including death or death-like symptoms.
If death persists for more than three hours contact your health provider.
🤣🤣🤣death like symptoms love it
That line came from one of my sons and I thought it was perfect.
The overweight dancing diabetic patients are beyond the pale.
Yeah, with all the, "having to stop to catch their breath," I wonder how long it really took to film that 10/20 seconds.
Four hours.
Of course the expensive stupid commercials themselves aren’t really to market the drug but to buyoff media.
advertising is a very small percentage of the budget
But it buys the silence of the media, because it’s a huge percentage of their budget.
Starmer, Macron and Merz are working on those drug prices too.
So Jeff linked to the regular video that cut off right after they grabbed the paraphernalia. Here’s a link to the whole video - in slow motion - and near the end it captures Macron moving the “tissue/packet” into his pocket. (I vaguely remember also seeing a video yesterday someone posted of Macron’s sleight of hand skills as he removed his expensive watch during an interview when discussing financial sacrifices they wanted people to make.)

Please note my subsequent reply to this comment giving the opposing viewpoint/hypothesis as well. I don’t claim to know which is the truth and sadly given our present day media, image editing, and AI I don’t think any of us can. I just thought it appropriate to present all sides.
Thanks for this one! Damning.
Super duper sus…
So this post links to the full regular speed video. Scroll down in the comments and they show high resolution photos of the Kleenex and stir stick. It may very well be just idiots who are always consciously aware of photo ops not having garbage in the pic, so this may not be drug related - IF the high res images are to be trusted that is.
https://x.com/brick_suit/status/1921607603915804983
There definitely seemed to be some looks exchanged between these guys as they settled in trying their best to look nonchalant - like "do you think anyone noticed?", "nothing to see here", and "just pretend nothing happened".
The "Kleenex" definitely looks more like a bindle fold than a used nose rag, and you can make out the metallic reflectivity of the spoon as they pass behind it before settling in.
Might as well have been a little bottle of K-Y and some condom wrappers... (sorry folks!)
What was the little spoon for? That can’t be explained away. Would like to know why tiny spoon was on the table…
Why.....do you idiots think we fall for tissue paper/cocaine crap. Stick to the truth and call this kind of crap out. THIS is how the left rolls...stop it
It IS drug-related. If you’ve ever been around it you’d know it. Typical behavior. Typical accouterments. In the U.S. it’s tiny plastic bags. In Europe they use paper folded into packets.
Exactly. That's not a spoon, it's a a stir stick from his cocktail.
Thank you. His clip was too short & didn’t show their faces or all of their actions, which were the tell.
Agreed on the looks and the actions tell everything
Beautiful!
Jeff hasn’t spent much time around drug behavior
Juju,
It wouldn’t make any sense for them to do cocaine at a meeting. If I had a snot rag on the table and reporters with cameras came in, I would hide it quickly too.
Wrong. This is common drug behavior. I’ve seen it. I know it. I’ve done it (LONG AGO)
LOL
Sniff....snort....
That was a hilarious line…thank you 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Or, hear me out, just stop getting us sick with their other "drugs" and we won't need the drugs in the first place! BTW, I asked Venice.AI about prices for Keytruda, a cancer drug my mother took (Yes she got cancer soon after the jabs in 2021 and passed away in 2024). Here in the U.S., Keytruda costs $22,000 per month. Germany? $2100! U.K.? $2200! Incidentally Keytruda sales went from about $11billion in 2020 to over $25 billion in 2023
After curing my wife's stage 2B breast cancer holistically, we don't even take aspirin anymore (forget the #, but it's 30-65 people) die each year from aspirin. Almost everything big Pharma makes is toxic . Still use Ivermectin and Fenben though. I said it before and I'll say it again, except for the 2 drugs I listed, Every cancer drug is highly toxic and will kill you if the underlying causes don't kill you first. Change your lifestyle and you can cure almost anything.
Agree 💯. Just say NO to big Harma.
Just remember the root of the word “pharmaceutical” (phrama) means poison!
@Roland- can't cure my husband's AFib and PVCs holistically. Suffered myocarditis after his second Moderna shot (yes, even 65 yr old men can get it! Myocarditis- not just for teens!) and he's left with the above maladies.
There are no quick cures for most problems. A lifetime of poor diet choices, and in your husband's case, the unfortunate decision to take the jabs, cannot be cured quickly. I have no idea if any issues caused by the jab can be reversed by any means. That is uncharted waters. That said, I don't have faith in anything Big Pharma gives anyone who is jabbed to ameliorate what they have done.
Everyone has to make their own choices with their health. All I know is the body's natural immune system is unmatched in its healing abilities IF you give it the minerals vitamins and enzymes it needs AND you detoxify your liver , gallbladder, kidneys, and lymphatic system. As an example, 80K gallbladders (at a cost of $11 billion )are removed every year, all of which could be avoided simply by doing monthly liver and gallbladder flushes until you purge those organs of ALL gallstones.
Yes, my mom has aFib, dx in 2012 and has a pacemaker and takes warfarin - which means she has to watch her diet and monitor her INR. She refuses any of the newer blood thinners due to the side effects. Not sure if there is a 'lifestyle' answer at this point. She is in an AL facility due to arthritis and balance issues making it hard for her to get around but is 86 and only takes 3 prescriptions. At this point in her life it is what it is, not going to rock the boat as her current path has gotten her this far. She did get the first 2 covid shots but had skin issues after and her PC doc told her not to get any more thank goodness, as she refused to listen to me.
Step one would be detoxing. Gotta clean out the terrain so that the body can continue it's efforts at detoxing. I agree with rolandttg that the human body can heal itself if given the right tools/support. Adding more drugs to the mix if they don't support the healing and add more toxicity can be problematic, especially when they treat symptoms only.
Have you looked into nicotine patches? I watched a video where Dr. Bryan Ardis talks about nicotine being curative for long Covid as well as myocarditis. Here is a Substack link if you’re interested https://open.substack.com/pub/therebelpatient/p/nicotine-cures-myocarditis-by-dr
Look into Dr McCollough spike protein protocol. Nattokinase,bromelain and curcumin! Large dry doses, I took for a year, my heart pain and palpitations are gone!!! The spike protein is a silent killer!
Myocarditis has always been called. “An old mans disease”
Have you tried nicotine patches? on spine bn shoulder blades is what I just heard dr. ardis say in an interview.
And those two are not even "cancer drugs"! Parasite drugs... but isn't cancer and many other diseases related to parasites??
I would add Artemisinin and Chlorine Dioxide Solution (CDS)... but great to hear your wife got cured!!
This one blew me away:
https://www.bitchute.com/video/YKpbNPPBBThH
Yup. Add DMSO to the list. Have not used it yet, but going to buy some, Incredibly versatile. Great for pain too. Topical and ingested.
DMSO has helped my arthritis, swollen finger joints and pain left all but one finger after a few weeks of taking it orally. It also prevented my husband from needing corticosteroids spine injections for back pain after a few weeks of topical application.
Can you direct me to more info on the ivermectin and fenben for cancer cure, please?
Dr. Makis and 2nd Smartest Guy in the World both have tons of info on their Substacks.
try going to makismd@substack.com and see his many articles on ivermectin and fenbendazole as cancer fighting drugs.
Also Dr. Paul Marik’s book “Cancer Care, The role of Repurposed Drugs & Metabolic Interventions in Treating Cancer”. Check out Chris Wark’s site as well. He beat stage 4 cancer 20 years ago, published a book “ Chris Beat Cancer”

There are other articles out there. Casey Means probably has some, answers Mike Adams of Health Ranger to mention two.
The tippens protocol
Clots and cancer
Possible cures for clots ~
Nattokinase (safe).
100% pure gum turpentine (distilled from pine tree resin) ~ see unbekoming substack (use with caution). https://substack.com/home/post/p-160762945
methylene blue (potential risks).
Ivermectin (horse dewormer) + Fenbendazole (dog dewormer) + other antiparasitics cure cancers. Wormwood is as good as Ivermectin.
https://www.facebook.com/share/r/18ycoitu2D/
https://odysee.com/@DrBerg:4/the-amazing-properties-of-wormwood:7
Causes apoptosis (death) in cancer cells.
Oxidizes iron which is toxic to cancer cells.
Phytonutrients inhibit conversion to cancer.
Inhibits increase in blood vessels to tumors.
Anti-inflammatory.
Anti-metastatic.
Also the pine needle tea or 100% pure gum turpentine (distilled from pine tree resin).
Why? Answer: Cancer is caused by parasite egg cysts, which are produced by the tens of thousands. Cysts accumulate over time, so older people get cancer as their immune system weakens and is overloaded. Vaccines (+ chemtrails + in food/ water) cause artificial cysts via phospholipid nanoparticles and/or spike protein. Vaccines also destroy the immune system. Hence type 4 turbo cancers. Good news is these are got rid of by antiparasitics. May also explain why nicotine works? (displaces spike protein)
https://rumble.com/v2sstks-dr-lee-merritt-karen-kingston-its-all-parasites-cancer-vaxxines-remedies.html
Treatment is for 3 days, with 5 days off. Gradually lengthen cycle to 3 days a month for maintenance. I'm sure there are other causes of cancer, but I thought this was pretty exciting!
Also consider the miraculous Tesla Machine https://tzla.club/ At $11,000 is it not cheap, but what price health? Use the coupon "IGAN" for a $500 discount. I have no financial interest in promoting this. Good results have been achieved by Dr. Ana Mihalcea in treating vaccine damaged patients ~ including reversal of type 4 cancers, clearing clots and normalising the blood.
Nancy - take a look at this re Ivermectin and some of the studies being done re cancer - looks promising. There are other anti-parasite and anti fungal drugs that also have shown promise in mitigating tumor growth.

I think there's a "My Cancer Story Rocks" group out there or something similar. And the normal disclaimers - this doesn't necessarily work for all types of cancer, results may vary, this is not to be confused with medical advice, etc. :/
Recently learned of a man who had cancer as a child (in the ‘70s) and is now suffering from the damage done to him from chemo back then. Yes, he lived 50 years after treatment but is now showing debilitating effects.
Ivermectin still another pharmaceutical and known to cause mammalian reproductive harm. I guess you have to weigh the pluses with the minuses.
Would like to see that in a study someplace. Ivermectin has been in use for over 40 years with over 4 BILLION doses administered world wide. Until the covid hysteria, it was on the World Health Org’s list of essential medicines. (Not sure if “the powers that be” removed it once it proved to be inconvenient to Big Pharma re the covid jabs.)
Study please. Billions take this every year. Billions and billions of doses in 60 years. Nobel prize. We’ll take our chances, Clem.
Any drug must be carefully considered during pregnancy. If you look up this claim it is misleading.
I’ve found recommended doses of IVM and fenben for treating cancer, but can’t find much information for preventing recurrence. Can you share what doses your wife still takes?
She is taking the 10 pound dog amount, or 222mg. That is what she took when she first got her diagnosis, still 3X peer week, with vitamin E with tocotrienols, and CBD. After she saw Dr. Tennant in Irving TX, she upped it to his recommendation of 500 mg, but after her nagaleses cancer tracking numbers came down, he said go back to a maintenance dose of 222mg. I take that too, but once a month just for parasites just in case. She still does it weekly
A I said, we did not include the IV protocol. but my understanding would be 6 mg for a maintenance dose, and 12-20 for a "I still have a problem "dose. I can tell you from information from a friend who got transverse myelitis from the jab that she is on 20 mg of IV, I think daily for her problems. Have not seen he in over a year, so not sure of her current dose. The doctor who gave that dosage and other recommendations to her like Nattokinase and NAC ( 1500-2000mg / day) s the same doctor who treats Dr. Robert Malone, who lives about an hour from us. Your husband should be taking those too, which we do too.
Me too!
Often referred to as "the US overhang", I've been talking for YEARS about the US funding R&D for the rest of the world.
Most countries with socialized medicine require drugs to be sold at "cost plus". That "plus" is usually a nominal amount (10%, 20%) of cost for overhead and profit.
So pharma simply cannot make any profit in the rest of the world. Nearly all profit comes from the US.
As is typical of socialism/communism it works until you run out of other people's money. And Trump has just told the rest of the world they have done just that.
Yep. The socialist regimes are going to have another problem. I love how Trump is screwing them over. Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch.
But don't forget what is in the background of this richly deserved screwing over: Our Congress and the FDA allowed OUR screwing to go on for decades and happily accepted the money that came with their acquiescence.
Most R&D is done at universities using taxpayer's money.
It is then handed over to the drug companies, who patent it and sell it for exorbitant prices in the US.
This means that Americans pay through the nose twice. But, hey! Beats socialism, because it's not other people's money, it's ours.
I'm pretty sure they make plenty of financial gains from the rest of the world. It's the only explanation of why certain things are pushed. They just make even more money from the US.
Something this fraudulent I don't like to term "profit" which ought to be fair gain for fair products.
Actually it is even worse than what it seems at first glance. In addition to the US having to pay all of the "research costs" and hence 100x the drug prices paid in Europe, during the same time period we have been subsidizing the defense of Europe so their money was freed up to provide universal health care and free drugs to their people. We paid twice.
My husband’s mom passed this year from turbo cancer. Her single Keytruda infusion almost killed her, but definitely shortened her lifespan and increased her suffering.
The side effects were horrible and she was almost unrecognizable due to the swelling. She was all about the jab and trusted only her medical team. SMH
Terrible. My Condolences.
Another example of why jab liability shields still being in place is a damned DISGRACE... Trump, RFK, etc.
Sorry for your loss Tim R.
I too lost my younger brother, colon cancer, about a year post his J&J. Last time I saw him was after another colon surgery, he was being kept alive as a lab rat (in my opinion) Keytruda was on the experimental list. He was cured about two weeks after that visit, thank you Jesus.
I’m so sorry about your mom….
That’s what’s coming. He’s gonna hurt the media so bad, and pharma at the same time. Pharma will save trillions in advertising costs, so they can afford to lower their prices. Please God,make it so.
I can't stand those pharma ads. Especially "Jordan and her breasts." Don't take the clot shots and all their other shots and you will dramatically lower your risk of all cancers, diseases, illnesses up to and including death.
You know what's TERRIBLE for breasts? Birth Control Pills. And abortion. They never seen to warn women about those ones though!
The first time I heard that I thought I misheard that. Just disgusting. The drug companies are shameless. and the actor who they featured is equally shameless.
But that's how they keep true investigative journalism off their backs. If we didn't have those kickbacks, they'd never be able to make those profits....
I'm pretty sure with the kind of money they make, they have goon squads on call to ensure no investigative journalism ever happens. Not that many media outlets hire anyone qualified to do investigative journalism, anyway..
As I recall, the death of investigative journalism into pharma coincided with the money that started pouring in after pharma advertising was allowed.
Yep. Former CBS reporter explains how that went.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TT7ndpQbF0
Time to ban the PBM (pharmacy benefit management) industry as well.
https://www.investopedia.com/articles/markets/070215/what-pharmacy-benefit-management-industry.asp
Their job is to lower drug costs…. for insurers and insurance companies.
“They accomplish this by negotiating with pharmacies and drug manufacturers. The discounts are then passed on to the insurance companies. Profits are generated through a slight up-charging of drugs or by retaining portions of rebates.”
Agree 100%. When you have health insurance and the price you pay at the pharmacy for a drug is higher than the CASH PRICE, it becomes obvious that there is some serious grifting going on.
When you realize that companies like United Health own the Doctors, the hospitals, the Pharm-Benefit LLCs, the pharmacies and the insurers themselves, you start to say HMMM
I've heard the prices are ridiculously high due to PBM's Pharmacy Benefit Managers (aka Middle men in the form of insurance companies) who double or triple the prices. It seems that the PBM's make more than the drug companies do, not that the Pharma companies aren't making more than their share of billions while deceiving people about the effectiveness of their products.
Big Harma will have to cut their advertising budget to make up the loss of revenue from overcharging Americans. So it's a start. They will have to cut down the number of overweight dancers in their commercials. Lol. 😄
Yes that was my thought too!
Further decreases in drug prices would also be seen if we prevented the pharmaceutical lobbies from paying off U.S. Senators and Representatives.
If the docs aren’t driven by competing drug prices maybe they will recommend safer and healthier options. I suppose many of them would have to get an entirely new education first, but it’s doable. I am cautiously optimistic as usual.
Trump cutoff the Money Spigot that fuels Pharma Ads and Kickbacks. Americans (hopefully) were financing their own physical demise by over paying for drugs.
CORRECTION: Americans were financing their own physical demise, by over paying for drugs.
Regarding Pharma ads on TV, RFK Jr said in his recent interview with Brett Baier (well worth seeing, also included Dr. Oz, Marty Makary and Jay Bhattacharya) that the drug companies advertise to consumers who don't pay for the drugs, to demand the drug from doctors who don't pay for the drugs; the taxpayers pay for the drugs. Then the pharmaceutical companies get a tax deduction for their advertising expenses. It does sound crazy.
Yep, End the advertising.
Take their obscene profits - from ripping off Americans - and the ads will stop.
I love our @POTUS! PMPK! PMPK!!
I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with what PMPK means. Would you please help me out?
Apologies, I should have spelled it out. Promises Made, Promises Kept!
Thank-you! There's so many alphabet acronyms I have trouble keeping up when I see one I haven't seen before.
Ya THINK?!
Two years ago I went out in my neighborhood on Halloween wearing my "Pfreedom: Safe and effective" tee shirt, which I had added onto with six hypodermics filled with colorful liquids protruding from my shoulders - I also made my skin very pale and had some sickly-looking makeup around my eyes. It was my "jab victim" costume, a follow-up to my "Dr. Fauci" costume from the year before, where I went around in a lab coat and a VERY Fauci-looking old man mask with a big, scary-looking hypodermic offering "boostahs" to everyone with my bad Brooklyn accent. Oh yeah - I also had a sign pinned to the back of my lab coat that read, "Fauci 2024: Because I already run the country". Did I mention I'm a master at subtlety?
Anyway, a few months ago I was talking to one of my neighbors from up the street (who had most likely seen both of these costumes) only to discover that he works for Pfizer as a drug rep - he's the guy going around to the hospitals and medical clinics offering incentives to push his company's poisons. He lives pretty well, as you can imagine. I had to cut off that conversation pretty quickly, as after I found out what he did for a living, I got a distinctly "icky" feeling and was feeling compelled to punch the guy. He's an otherwise nice, normal dude, who just happens to get paid nicely to do Satan's work.
LOL... perfect!
Kennedy with Trump talking about how corrupt Congress is being controlled by big pharma.

You can't stop them from advertising, but you CAN change the tax code so that advertising to someone who is legally incapable of buying the product (on their own) becomes non-deductible. That would effectively stop the advertising since Big Pharma isn't going to want to pay that bill by themselves.
It would also remove a very long lever Big Pharma has over network news coverage :-)
You CAN stop them from advertising. They weren't always allowed to do direct marketing to consumers - we could just go back to the way things were before this was allowed.
really - tobacco? and to a lesser extent alcohol
When the WSJ writes “a person familiar with”. This is code for we just made this shit up. Just as the NYT uses anonymous all of the time who has never ever once got it right.
Today's WSJ quotes Green Sweatshirt as saying, "Ill Be Waiting" in response to Putin's offer of peace talks. As if Zelensky(y) is the adult who holds all the cards instead of the fool watching what is left of his country disintegrating piece by piece.
Putin is in total control in Ukraine and HE will decide what's what.
Trump trying to dictate to or bully him will only make a royal ass of himself.
“This is what we want to be true so we will pretend that we have a source”
My favorite phrase in all of journalism. It never fails to make me laugh.
"Unnamed sources tell us ... "
Like anyone with a story to tell is "unnamed"... Everybody has a name - it's on your damned birth certificate, along with your gender!
Unnamed is even more popular than mohammud. Was mo maybe unnamed.
I am beginning to like “Thank you for your attention to this matter”. Yes sir.
Er, I have it on high authority that you are correct, Sir.
@Reality- I took it as the person didn't want his/her name used because this person said s/he can think like AOC and who wants to admit that? ;)
Old libbies over 55 are useless. In the retirement community I lived in they were the most unhappy and unhealthy people around. During the last presidential election they put up flag signs saying "chose joy." I thought they should be taking their own advice. They weren't joyful when their gal, kamala, lost. It was fun laughing at them. 😉
It is so freeing when you no longer care what they think.
They are so grumpy! And seemingly HATE children by the way they treat me with my 5 kiddos!
@Annie- I had a friend like that. She died of a heart attack. No lie.
Agree 💯. Not many are reading their BS anymore.
Thank you for making news fun again. My favorite line, which sums up the media coverage of Trump perfectly: "Trump could cure cancer, and they’d run with headlines like, “Biotech layoffs surge after oncology disruption.”
So true.
My fav of the day: What corporate media called “impossible,” Trump called “Sunday.”
Ditto that.
If Jeff ever decides to hang up his Substack gig (Sacre bleu!) he can use his talent for writing headlines. They are much funnier and more informative.
He could reboot MAD magazine!
"What, me worry?"
Good memory Jeff!
YES!!!
He could do well with the Babylon Bee.
DJT himself said that--I think in the State of the Union speech
Nearly made me spew my coffee, again...
Mine, too!
Indeed! And largely why its funny.
Sad, but VERY true. 😖
Mr. Barrett, an 83 year old "aging Boomer", is an absolute dolt and an embarrassment to the rest of us who can think straight. Was he also a Bernie Bro? Now he is eager to sit at the bar and drink with AOC.
"Working Class" and groomed for her role, just as Obama was picked from a roster of imposters for his. A Non-Trans LatinX woman who'll pick an older, chronic-liar White Guy (CO Governor Polis? Denver mayor?) for VP....could work with enough mailed ballots and stakeholder-citizen voters in key precincts in swing states; Beat the Cheat 2028 better get started NOW
Beat the Cheat must be ongoing. Never underestimate the dems.
You can get her clothing will start to get tighter,little more cleave working, as time goes on. She has an incredible figure, and she’ll be using it soon.
you have to wonder how many 83 y/o they had to ask before finding this one
Sadly, far too many who consume MSM as "valid". They even got to some of my more level-headed family members because they tuned out reality in favor of being told what to think. :(
"But the TV told me"..........
My mom was like that -- and "but my doctor told me", which I'm pretty sure is why she's dead now. And my step-mom is the same way - devoid of critical thinking skills. My dad is a little more wary, but now he's deep into his Alzheimer's, so whatever he had once is now gone. He was hep enough to distrust the boosters, but went for the initial jab..
You must know my brother in law
How incredibly sad is this?
He's not a Boomer..... born around 1942, he's pre-Boomer. Boomers 1946 to 1964
That's the silent generation if I remember right. Between the greatest and the boomers.
Yes
83 is not a boomer. By accepted definition baby boomers are those born after 1945. Those of is born in the early forties are war babies. As one of those I’m ashamed of this senile old fart.
I was born in '62 (and I'm 62, until November!). I can't decide if I'm a late Boomer or an early Xer.
Generation Jones. Not kidding.
Wow, I learned something new today! Thank you!
While I hate that Wikipedia uses a pic of Bill Gates as an example of this generation, I did find an article that describes where I fit in perfectly:
"Between the Beatles and Nirvana lies the popular culture of Generation Jones." I think that fits me to a tee.
Or a late "bloomer". Sorry, couldn't resist.
Well, that fits, too!
He’s in love
Yep. He sees himself in Bernie's place. Lol. Viagra induced fool.
Hey, Dave, Mr. Barrett is actually Joe Biden.
My thinking was, I just wonder if he’ll even make it to the primaries…
Mr. Barrett is too old to be an "aging boomer". He's actually a member of the "silent" generation which is somewhat ironic in light of his obvious babbling!
Do you think most boomers trust the news more than the next generation? My FIL seems to trust it and he is conservative. He can't seem to break free of covid lies.
Fear makes rational people irrational.
Yes, it seems that way to me as well! My older friends/family members (mid 70s-low 80s) are glued to their respective national news channels and believe everything they hear.
The irony is that half are hard right and they only trust Fox News, while the other half are hard left and are equally addicted to MSNBC!
Both sides refuse to listen to anyone else and neither, frankly, has a good grasp on what is actually happening in the world!
They did grow up in the age of TV when the mkultra programs kicked in and nobody saw it coming or questioned it.
It is really hard to let go of everything you have been taught and consider everything was a lie or half truths to make you think a certain way... especially history and science. Any ideas I have of history are from school and documentaries that skew the truth. Now I think the opposite and get a better idea.
My observations as well
That dude needs to get another booster or vaxx. Useless idiot.
Only because she’s buying
He's hoping to get lucky with her.
But what he used to do all night, now takes him all nightto do.
😂🤣
Age apparently doesn't always bring wisdom with it.
And none of what he says is substantive… he likes her vibe.
Technically no 80+ yr olds are boomers but i do see more & more writers (younger ones) including them. That said, ima middle of the pack boomer woman that smh at the aoc commie crap
👍 but technically an 83 yr old is too old to be boomer anyways.. more and more writers im noticing have expanded the upper age limits of boomers for whatever reasons🤣
"A person familiar with her thinking" has discovered a talent that the world has missed in AOC: The ability to think. And silly me: I never realized that accumulating tens of millions of dollars of personal wealth on a congressperson's salary "is working-class as hell".
She works for tips, and will pay no taxes on those millions of dollars in tips/bribes.
Come on now... She wore her Eat The Rich dress to the Met Gala - she's one of us!
Your comment made me snort coffee out my nose!
Wow, I'm on a roll! That's TWO today!
Just finished the section on tariffs and how the whole economy is looking up and it reminded that I just heard this morning that the US jobs numbers for April came in at 177k when 133k was expected. And even better, 100% of those jobs were PRIVATE SECTOR jobs (ref Peter St Onge’s Monday morning podcast.... highly recommend, it’s informative and only 20 min). Massive difference than the last 4 years. I love the way trends are moving right now. Really hoping congress will get off their collective butts and make these great moves permanent. Why are they so lame?
Because their goals are so different than yours. Theirs include getting re-elected and becoming rich while on a congressional salary as so many of their predecessors have done.
Truth, sad to say
Good one
The European elite, specifically the UK, German, and French "leaders", are truly disgusting human beings. They are sybarites with no moral compass, and are likely COMPLETELY amoral.
They're mostly perverts and pedos
Like so many of ours.
Absolutely
100% correct.
They aren’t alone, AnnR. It’s everywhere & esp the USA.
You're being too kind.
Here's the EU coke heads, but this is a total AI video of them.
Pretty cool huh?

I think you meant "completely immoral."
Amoral AND immoral.
Did a quick scan of comments and so far no one has taken the low road humor of a Grateful Dead reference to their song Casey Jones ... "driving that train, high on cocaine ..." Come on, Dead Heads, get with it.
You better watch your speed!
Trouble ahead, trouble behind🤭
Did that notion just cross your mind?
Casey Jones. Trouble ahead trouble behind. lol
Holy crap, never gave it a thought. Was never a dead fan, but Ona train, high on coke! Too funny!
Uh, that's a good dance song.
😆
And so the week starts!! God bless everyone!
Yeah, that's evidence of cocaine use with those 3 bozos. I'm guessing that if Gavin Newsom and Baby Back Ribs Pritzker had been on that train, they'd have been in on it too. Progressives/liberals/globalists/authoritarians are just all too easy to figure out. What a bunch of drug-addled idiots.
what's Hunter Biden doing these days?
providing cocaine to world leaders.
@Lori- Substack desperatley needs a laughing emoji because your comment deserved it!!! Well played!
Yes Kittynana, we all need a laugh!
🤣😂😅
Oh he’s probably a server on the train from Poland to Ukraine !?!
LOL!
He's here: https://x.com/liz_churchill10/status/1921756566119649470
Supplying coke to cracked heads like these "leaders."
Supplying high end diplomacy?😅
This is where my head went
We’ll never know because the corrupt corporate media has no interest, and the Bidens are fading out.
Apparently he had a nice thing going with USAID 😑

I love that Jeff thought they would have the munchies because it proofs he's never done coke. Unfortunately, coke is like speed and you aren't hungry but you do become super talkative and think everything you say is brilliant. My lying eyes say they were covering for Zelinksky's paraphernalia left on the table. Or, that's the part I'm not sure of 'cause I don't think they are all coke heads. What do you think?
All of them are in the social class that uses coke, and they have nothing but contempt for rules they impose on the rest of us, so I’m guessing they are all coke heads.
Here's a better video of the coke heads:

Dumb
For sure.
Watch macrons eyebrows. There’s a number of this vid, as more than one camera caught it. He’s got the blowbrows working. Way too big smiles, it’s rather obvious.
83 is not a BOOMER . Born in 1941 is not a boomer. Im 68 born 1956 = BOOMER
Silent generation....
I’m from that generation and no one told me that I was to be “Silent!” Well, I had some teachers tell me that and that’s how I taught myself to write with 2 pencils at the same time to cut 300 sentences into 150 of, “I do have a responsibility to my teacher and to myself.” That’s how I learned to spell “Responsibility” and I only had to do the sentence sentencing once. I learned how to write, spell and speak out; quickly, quietly and in codes. Yes. We had a Club of Non-silenced 6th graders!
Greatest generation. He probably stayed home.
Good point!
@Bruno- Boomers are '46-'64
I married a slightly younger man thinking we’d grow old harmoniously but now I find we are different generations! I’m a boomer and he’s a Jones Generation. Oh my!
It definitely fits for me … I’m a 1964 baby.
Great, coked up “leaders” discussing how to continue sending young and old people from the Ukraine to the front lines until they can finally get American young men and women into the Scamlenskyy war.
That will not happen on Trump's watch, but I am sure AOC, advised by Bernie, would be more than happy to go along with it, as well as share the blow with them. Democrats are now the pro-war, pro-military/industrial complex party, and don't forget it. And they will lie about it to the bitter end.
Prescription drug prices: what about the idea of people, especially Americans, taking less of these toxic substances? I don’t see that thought even mentioned here.
Nope. The message is that Americans are hooked, so we're giving you a break on the crap you're hooked on.
Not enough people talk about the absolute HELL that is addiction to pharmaceuticals.
Are vaccines included? So now it'll be even cheaper for people to get that mRNA sludge shot into their veins?
@Cathleen- agreed. While many maladies need chemical intervention, many don't. It's one of the problems with the mental health system: doctors are so overwhelmed, they simply throw meds at patients instead of the mental health system being shored up to help those patients.
I disagree that meds are being thrown at patients with mental issues by doctors because doctors are overwhelmed. Drugs are the protocol. Just as drugs are the protocol in every other medical problem. Treat the symptom. Don't look for the source of the problem. Don't look at how else the medical issues could be dealt with through diet and life style. Just take a pill.
And part of it also is that many people want an “easy fix” for a problem. Patience and perseverance are too much work and trouble for some people.
You are absolutely correct. I see it every single day, as a patient and as an RN married to a physician.
If they lower drug prices and bring the options to a level or closer to level playing field, the drug dealers will go bust or learn a new game. In the process some will learn the healthier way and offer that to patients. This is the most optimistic game plan. Unfortunately most humans don’t change until they are forced to.
They'll learn a new game - you cut off one head of the Hydra, 6 grow back in its place. SSDD.
I forsee Pharma companies splitting profits with middlemen who keep the prices higher. Big Parma will have legally distinct companies acting as those middlemen.
Saw the China tariff 90-day changes and thought that's got to be a good thing. But of course, people want to scream about DJT so they'll find something else. Cue the drug price caps, which are _LONG_ overdue. It's crazy that he helped insulin prices last term, Biden raised them, now people are squawking that Trump wants to cap all med prices. Then to raise a cry about stock prices? I just don't understand who's coming up with the talking points for the (D)ifferent people. Running on "anything Trump does we oppose" is just ludicrous at this point. It's pretty clear that he's got the general public behind him on most of these things, even if the MSM polls try to show otherwise.
Personally, the idea of an AOC candidacy is a little scary to me. Look at how many votes Harris got just to vote against Trump. AOC may be foolish, but she does have more charisma, so there's a good chance too many won't look at any of her actual policy ideas, but concentrate on the "not MAGA" aspect. :( I think she'd be a foolish choice and would lose all debates handily, but - that's why we don't have debates any more.
Charisma? Is that what you call it? I have another word.
I have several words, none of which I would say in front of my pets.
exactly:}
What policy ideas?
I never said there were any _good_ policy ideas. Green New Deal and Taxing the Rich are the first things that come to mind - now some sort of "fight the oligarchy while flying on private jets" tour or something to that effect. But - too many voters go based on the feels and not any information so they won't look at the reality for those proposals. Add in that the MSM props up that sort of nonsense and will push hard for her or a candidate like her, and there's far too much support for a candidate who would not put USA first. :(
Of course, maybe with the heat on Act Blue and USAID funding all sorts of nonsense, the chances for a candidate like this dwindle somewhat.
In all of her talking, thinking is wholly murdered.
The only one I heard off was tax the rich.
Peter, you are spot on. Just look north of your border to the country known as Area 51. The party projected to win a super majority in January went on to lose the election in April. The liberals brought in a new party leader and focused on Trump and his statement about making canada the fifty first state. The boomers in eastern Canada fell for it and now we are done as a country.
Recall the book, 'Opium Wars' involving China and the West. They haven never forgotten that! Note also, China doesn't have a drug problem like the West, why? China executes every dealer they discover. But China DOES facilitate drug distribution to the West. Along with every other adversary we have. Get the picture yet?
The irony is that the British were responsible for the Opium Wars, but the Chinese are holding us responsible. They could end the fentanyl trade today if they wanted to. Meanwhile, something happened in Mexico makes me think we could, too, with a naval blockade: https://english.elpais.com/international/2025-04-01/cocaine-and-contraband-fuel-mexican-navy-secures-historic-seizures.html
Speaking of fentanyl, there’s a journalist named Sam Cooper that wrote a book about the drug trade in Canada, how it comes into our ports from china and distributed to the US and Mexico. The book is called Wilful Blindness. He has had several threats to his safety.
The Vancouver Port is owned by China so there is no policing what is coming in. The Chinese owned the Port of Los Angeles until first term Trump forced them to sell it.
Redacted did a great interview with Todd Bensman on what the Trump Administration is doing on the drug war:

Ummm? Cokeheads don't get the "munchies" Even if afterwards they indulge in smoking some Cannabis. Coke, the original diet supplement. 😳
Yeah. That made me laugh. He most definitely never used!!!
I saw a funny diet plan.
Guy asks his buddy how he can lose 20 pounds in a week.
Buddy responds: drink at least 2 gallons of water a day, don’t eat anything but meat, run or walk 5 miles per day, and I cannot stress this enough, do a metric 💩 ton of cocaine.
😆😆
Well, if the massive water I take don't kill him, I know what else will, 🤣😂🤣
Intake, not I take
In the Original Recipe for the co-cola drink, I believe?
Yes, it's well known that Cocaine was an ingredient in the original formula. However, I use "coke" as slang for cocaine.
