Wouldn’t it be nice if Trump (or Erika) established a Charlie Kirk Peace (or other type of service or scholarship) Prize.
The Nobel Peace Prize is a joke. I hope this year’s winner refuses the prize, but she probably won’t. It would be great if someone had the courage to put them in their place.
Interesting. I wonder why Israel, Pakistan & Cambodia nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize during the summer months? Why did Armenia, Rwanda, Gabonese and Azerbaijan also endorse Trump for the prize after the January deadline? I’m not familiar with the process. Thanks 😊
Same here - whoever the woman is who got the Ignore-Peace Prize, she ought to refuse it & say publicly that it should obviously go to the POTUS for ending wars and making PEACE.
The Nobel Prize Ctte should be disbanded. If a prize is required, some other outfit should award it. Not those dishonest partisans.
Can we discuss some real present issues please and how we can live sacrificially to resist it for future generations. Like the fast-tracking IDS that most Americans will willingly accept for a higher credit score. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmuR-pfsNvQ
Plenty of Subs devoted to exposing Digital ID. JC will cover it once the Fake News echo chamber has a reveal. That is the fomat, and liking Words that are Beyond with no interpretation...
Dr. Yeadon is a true intellect, who has exposed the entire Virus fraud, but is now educating about the Digital ID takeover for those with the bandwidth.
It will not be "beyond" anyone. He is brilliant, and oddly a former top of the tree Pfizer executive.
I get that. We don't adhere to the words at all, huh?
But, we need clarity. Like the clarity of the 14th Amendment - clear as mud - or the supremacy clause and that conflict with the 9th and 10th Amendments? We need clarity.
No one wants to open up the holy grail for fear of the mob, and I get that. But we are still somewhat civilized, right? Well, IDK.
But, in the 1st Amendment, we can petition the Government for a redress of grievances. If all 50 states, in conjunction with a lot of good citizen journalists from all 50 states, would repeatedly grill their reps and senators, even for one issue – to get term limits amended in the Constitution - could we see change? https://lizlasorte.substack.com/p/how-does-a-life-long-career-public?r=76q58

The clearest message we can send is with our money and how we spend and not complying. Shop local and stay out of the big chains. Take care of your own health by eating better and stop trusting western meds/docs. Laws can always be twisted just like scripture to justify anything.
Exposing is just a first step and we're all overexposed at this point. Especially with human trafficking (which is a hoax now?)...where are the actions that should follow. I have a hard time trusting anyone who works or has worked for Pharma, ie trumps chief of staff Susan Wiles
Agreed. Here is a link to my hard-hitting op-ed running on Age of Autism today, regarding the fact that MAHA (specifically Trump and Kennedy) has not done anything meaningful to stop the vaccine devastation or to restore the fundamental rights of bodily sovereignty and parental authority.
Re “No Kings” - Maybe we should give “Kings” a fresh look, in context of the last 100 years and current events. Whenever the left comes out strongly against something, it’s worth reconsideration. We need to be open-minded.
In a lot of ways, there hasn’t been a lot positive innovation re political science / governance since the American revolution, except for maybe parts of the French Revolution, and various forms of socialism (ie. communism).
If we reimagine and re-tool the concept of a King, we might have something very useful for the 21st Century.
Say, we incorporate democracy, term limits, a legislature, impeachment, and provisions against wives or children “inheriting” a kingship. We could create a strong executive position that puts the interest of the nation and the people first - instead of those of corporations and special interests. One result would be reducing the size of government, and streamline operations. Strong accountability provisions would necessary to prevent someone in the government from distributing money without knowing who it went to, or what it was used for - or for parking tens of billions of dollars in a bank account not controlled by responsible “Crown” officials . . .
The legislators would serve a single four-year term; elections would be every (2) years, for half the legislators.
Every effort would be made to suppress (but not prevent) political parties - the King wouldn’t be able to make laws, he would only be able to veto / prevent them . . .
The King would be able to pardon any criminal, of specific crimes, provided said criminal had been convicted of the specific crimes.
A King would be able to remove any judge who isn’t fair, honest, impartial, and non-partisan - There would be a removal process, controlled by the King. . . .
Lobbyists would be a thing of the past. People and groups would be able to present their cases in public forums, which would be recorded, and archived. . . . anyone peddling influence for money, would be severely punished, as would anyone accepting any kind of gift. . . .
There would be no “book deals” or paid speeches for the ex-Kings, legislators, or other high government officials, GS-14 and above, working for defense contractors, after their service, would be prohibited. . . .
Part of becoming a “king” would be what the Romans called “Cursus Honorum”. You wouldn’t be able to go from being, say, a bar tender, directly to a high government official. You would have to start with small jobs, and prove yourself: small town mayor - large county executive - governor / senator . . maybe head of a large national agency (State / HHS / DOD) . . . Then and only then are you ready for the Crown.
The point is we could be doing almost everything differently and better - but we’re not . . .
We can’t seem to get there, from here. Why is that?
I know what you’re going to say, Shayne - stop and think first - maybe sleep on it? Don’t presume to speak for others
Politicians are American royalty. Especially dem politicians. It is disingenuous for them to say otherwise.
There was never a more fundamental kingship portrayed than King Biden’s black and red speech with the military behind him “backing him.”
Put in action by classifying Soccer moms and dads , school board attendees and Catholics as terrorists—raiding their homes, terrifying their children with weapons aimed at their parents, and arrests of the elderly praying in front of abortion facilities.
The doctrine that nothing actually exists or that existence or values are meaningless.
Relentless negativity or cynicism suggesting an absence of values or beliefs.
"nihilism in postwar art."
Political belief or action that advocates or commits violence or terrorism without discernible constructive goals. = democrats or the party of mental illness 🤪
I keep praying for Erika and the children - who will never know their loving, Christ-like Daddy (fortunately--there are plenty of VIDEOS of Charlie that I'm sure Erika plays for the children as they mature). Glad you corrected the age error, J. C. - I noticed that right away - :-)
Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
Thank you Janice, one of my absolute favorite verses, particularly the aspect of "transformed by the renewing of your mind". This sanctification is a core component of following Christ.
I made a comment the other day about how Christians should not be listening to non-Christians in regards to ethics, opinions, values, and morality. The poor discernment of Christians over the last sixty years, particularly looking to non-Christian Hollywood and the media for values, is an embarrassment for the Church. The Bible has countless warnings on this, regarding being in, but not of, this world.
One commenter (likely a non-Christian) gave me grief about it being "intolerant". Yes, it is intolerant and rightly so. Although it is unfashionable to say it, the Bible commands us to *hate* sin. The translation is literally the word hate, not frown on, be perturbed by, air disproval, and particularly not tolerate. But *hate* sin. Wow.
When we follow Christ, this "renewing of your mind" changes every aspect of how one views the world. It is inevitable as one reads the Bible and follows the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, we think differently. It causes one to automatically recoil at things of an ugly spiritual nature. There's an unsettling sensation when confronted by sin and people pushing sinful activities. It's a gift from God to protect us.
So let the Holy Spirit renew your mind and as Paul tells us "the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." (Phil 4:7)
Edit: A follow up comment as I think more about this. "Tolerance" is a perfect example of a supposed virtue entirely constructed by non-Christian society, yet many in the Church blindly accepted. The Bible never calls tolerance a virtue, and is extremely intolerant in many places. The "virtue" of tolerance was created to excuse sin and reduce Christian influence by secular, non-Christian media influences.
Once the renewing of your mind occurs you will never see this stuff the same way.
Adding on to the word "tolerance"... I was listening to Dr. Everett Piper on The Alisa Childers podcast today and he discusses this very word in which it is used in non and progressive Christian circles. He says (as you point out) that "tolerance" is not love and not mentioned in the Bible. When a non Christian or Progressive Christian speaks of "tolerance" it doesn't usually make sense in the context in which they want to use it. Say for the LGTB+++ community. "Tolerating" them is not loving them. You tolerate humidity, or an incessantly barking dog. Not a human in sin crisis. Christians show love to people by being truthful to them. The truth is found in the Bible.
The closest virtuous trait I've found in the Bible to "tolerance" is long-suffering. But that means slow to anger, not to ignore sin or pretend it doesn't exist. God is long-suffering with our rebellious nonsense, but He doesn't ignore it. And if we don't turn to Him and repent we will see ultimately His wrath.
I used to write a lot of technical papers for senior management, and I kept a dictionary and thesaurus on my desk. That dictionary had "tolerance " in the definition of liberalism. Look it up anywhere now. At least the bolsheviks have had the decency to delete tolerance from the definition
Making such generalizations about The Church is not very good. At least in terms of secular issues over 60 years. There is no Christian "Church"; rather a plethora of denominations; which do not lend themselves to such generalizations. Think of the natural divide between Roman Catholics and Orthodox Catholics for example!
I think you might be missing the point. The "Church" (ekklesia in the NT) isn't a denomination but those who follow Christ. There are plenty in "the Church" (i.e. call themselves Christians) but have allowed themselves to be deluded by the world.
Also, there is nothing wrong with generalizations, the Bible is filled with them. A generalization is a description that can be *generally* applied to a body but does not describe every individual. Christ Himself called the Jews of the time "a perverse and corrupt generation" (Matthew 17:17). Talk about generalizations!
The notion that we are not allowed to generalize is another non-Christian created "virtue" meant to inhibit people from drawing obvious conclusions about the world around us.
Many Believers have left the churches and formed quiet groups to study God's Word and worship Him in peace. These small groups are transforming lives. In the coming Tribulation, a group like this will be necessary to help us in the time of great deception that is predicted in the End Times.
During the year 2020, I wish I had found a group like that. Churches were too "we have to obey the government; the Bible says so!" and not enough "we ought to obey God rather than men."
I agree with your definition of The Church, but I don’t think that definition is the same as everyone who calls themselves Christians. for example, those who call themselves Christians but have allowed themselves to be deluded by the world are not following Christ. Likewise there are people who follow Christ but don’t call themselves Christians.
also, there is a problem with generalizations if they lead to accepting the inhumane treatment of individuals or of the whole group, which is unfortunately a frequent outcome in our imperfect world. hence, i think it’s wise to qualify our generalizations so that they cant be misinterpreted as applying to everyone in the group.
Of course we should exercise biblical discernment and common sense in everything we do. The problem is the world says we are never allowed to generalize. That's obviously false as it happens in the Bible over and over, including often by Christ.
I don't agree with your statement there is a problem with generalizations. There is a problem with people who use them in bad faith to push an agenda. But people acting in bad faith are by definition bad people as they always attempt to manipulate others to their own advantage. The problem is them, not the rhetorical device.
But there is absolutely nothing wrong with me making an obviously true generalization such as, "the media is dominated by non-Christians who push an anti-biblical agenda that is harmful to Christian society". Or "John 14:6 shows Islam, Judaism, and Hinduism are incompatible with Christianity". Or "flooding the US with non-Christian immigrants will undermine the country's Christian fabric that has existed since its founding".
These are broad brush statements that are all obviously true. Yet so many people say we aren't allowed to state obvious truths, usually with the excuse they might offend someone. Yeah they might, so what? But I firmly believe that's a fig leaf. The real reason we aren't allowed to do it is it's a very effective tool used to keep Christians from speaking about obvious realties and realizing our society is being undermined. We have been taught a false gospel that worships being "nice", tolerant, and denying the obvious.
Regarding John 14:6, I’m not a religious scholar, but I’ve learned from some devout Muslims that Christ is one of their prophets and that following Christ’s teachings is very much part of their religion. One of them prayed six times per day each day for the several years that he was a student at a major u.s. university, which was a notable form of devotion that was admired by many and helped others get in touch with their own religious beliefs. So in my experience, Islam can be compatible with Christianity, depending on how faithfully the full teachings are followed. Even so, I think flooding the US with immigrants is unwise and undermines the common ground we need on many levels for peace.
I agree that “the media is dominated by non-Christians” is a true statement. It’s actually the type of qualified generalization that I meant because it seems clear to me that it doesn’t apply to everyone in the media. Sorry that I didn’t use that as an example to illustrate what I meant.
I’m all for stating obvious truths, and for exercising biblical discernment and for sure also common sense, and I also really like it that you’ve pointed out the false virtues on the left. I read your column every day that it’s available to those of us in the cheap seats. So grateful for all of your wisdom, and your efforts to keep us informed of what’s really going on in the world.
But there is currently an internal schism in the Eastern Orthodox Church —2018 Moscow - Constantinople Schism — issue being who controls the Orthodox Churches in Ukraine…
It is also true that separation of the Western and Eastern Orthodox Churches was the result of a similar schism between Rome and Constantinople.
We all agree there have been/are many divisions, yes. But looking beyond what seems to divide us and recognizing the evil that seeks to divide us further…REJOICE, because there is one eternal communion of saints, One Body of Christ…the family of God united by our shared faith in the One True and Eternal Creator God, revealed to us as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Basically, if you follow, like I do, the Judeo-Christian tradition (which owes a whole lot to ancient Greece, a pagan society), but don’t believe in the religious part (ie, Bible as word of God, God, etc) you’re outside the Pale with Christians. This is similar to the intolerance (which I see many in these comments have a hard time understanding the meaning of) of the Woke-Progressives, who are intent on controlling your very words and thoughts. This is the commonality of intolerance I referred to.
Nonetheless, I appreciate very much your Substack.
Hi Dave - I'm not Jeff Childers but have been using "Jeff C" since the early days of Substack and comment on have a dozen pages using it. The regulars here know that but many new people don't.
I'm not saying your words and thoughts should be controlled or banned as the Left does. But as Bible-believing Christians we should look to the Bible and other Christians for our beliefs, morals, and values, not non-Christians.
Belief in Christ changes people in ways that are impossible to describe, hence the whole "renewing of one's mind" discussion. It influences every aspect of our lives. So when trying to answer life's questions and dilemmas, we should be listening to people that are like-minded.
I appreciate the civil and thoughtful tone of your comment, so please don't take this as hostile. But why are non-Christians offended by the idea that Christians shouldn't listen to them? We aren't trying to ban what you say, just that Christians should take it with a grain of salt as you don't share our beliefs.
You are the second person to equate this idea (though far more polite than the first one) that ignoring people is the same as silencing them. It couldn't be more different. I don't get it.
Thanks for the correction. I am not anti-Christian at all, just don't believe in its dogma. The tradition is powerful, especially the forgiveness part--that's what's allowed it to endure all these years, in my view.
The “forgiveness part” is powerful because it is central to the gospel and the saving of our souls. We owed a debt we could not pay, and Jesus paid the debt He did not owe, as the old song goes.
Your comment reminded me of part of a poem called “The Journey” that I wrote back in the 90s:
So through the thorns and underbrush
My Lord led me instead;
To teach me how to really yield
With my heart, not just my head.
To learn to listen carefully
And heed every word He speaks;
Not just pick and choose the ones
I think I’d like to keep.
There is a lot to admire about Christianity and the Bible. But admiration won’t save us. It’s all or nothing. Blessings to you - Janice
In my young 20’s I was not a Christian. I remember too thinking Christians were arrogant and thinking the following literally almost verbatim: “They think their way is the only way, how arrogant and unyielding, how closed minded they are”.
I used to read the Bible as
Literature, for inspiration in writing for spiritual wisdom but only in a general metaphysical kind of way (I was already into Unitarian and Unity Church kind of thinking, with a good smattering of a kind of a yin-yang approach, hey bad-good balances right?).
But as I read Jesus’s words, I realized He gives no quarter, he gives us a choice to believe in Him and trust in Him, or not, but His truth isn’t yin-yang, it isn’t “COEXIST”. It’s John 14:6: “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life, no one comes to the Father except through Me.”
Arrogant, no. Solid. Truth. Yes.
There is a way that leads to life scripture says. It’s only one way. I tried the other ways. Jesus let me. They lead to death.
One other comment and I’ll stop pushing 😊. Only one “religion” has a God that pursued us.
Tolerance is Libtard virtue signalling. You have actually exposed Cathocism for the fraud it has always been. As you point out its an excuse just like the Confession box for Catholics if it even currently exists.
The Quick & The Dead: Christ, Judge of the Æons (Part II)
An exegetical survey of the Judge of Mankind...
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.”
— Psalm 111:10 KJV
...After King David numbered Israel’s fighting men, something which was expressly forbidden lest the nation be tempted to engage in foreign conquests, The Lord sent a pestilence that decimated Jerusalem. What David saw unfolding was extraordinary (emphasis mine):
15 And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was destroying, the LORD beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough, stay now thine hand. And the angel of the LORD stood by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
16 And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the LORD stand between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders of Israel, who were clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.
What stands out to me, in the story about David making an unauthorized census, is when Gad (David's seer) comes and says, in effect, "you did wrongly, now God says choose from these three punishments". And what did David say?
2 Samuel 24:14
And David said to Gad, "I am in great distress. Please let us fall into the hand of the LORD, for His mercies are great; but do not let me fall into the hand of man."
We humans have little to no capacity for real mercy. So whenever I notice anyone stridently wishing ill on anyone, for even the most justified of reasons, I think about this passage, and how we really ought to be more cautious in our attitudes and actions, because God is watching and taking note.
Some 60+ years ago, my Dad insisted that he and I memorize the 12 th chapter of Romans for a church project. I was about 15 then. I still remember much of it. Every time I read it I am reminded of Dad and many other things as well. Thanks for posting it.
"The data just doesn't back up Trump's claims left is more violent."
.....Oh dear, it's back to the reliable and wholly authentic "no sufficient data" arguments. Can't wait for the "No Kings" peaceful protest data to be swept completely under the rug or twisted into a jaunty afternoon Easter egg hunt. Maybe they'll get the accurate data on the tons of trash and assorted other debris left behind after the bozos have their public hissy fit. The "after event" visuals are always jarring. We should follow up with a "No More Morons Day."
No Kings protest is performative to help libbie loons cope with all their feelings. Their feelings, their truths as they feel it. They have no critical thinking skills or any grip on reality. Just feelings. There. I hope I explained it. 😉😄
There will be a No Kings protest near Daytona Beach FL this weekend- full page ad placed in the local paper. BUT, this is also Biketoberfest weekend here- so... Waiting to see how the bikers like it........
Chess...a game for two, is useless without pawns. Fortunately, I don't play chess anymore. I have a feeling this particular game involves a host of different players with varying paths to perceived ideological victory.
The World Order sets up countless groups to promote any type of idea, and then sets up other groups to fanatically oppose them, but the masters have no dedication to anything except slavery." The World Order Eustace Mullins 1992
Another data manipulation technique they use at these leftist sources is they label any violence that involves a person of pallor vs a person of pigment as right wing violence, despite no political reason. Very flawed “data”.
Another is that they’ll count violence by white prison gangs as right wing, but violence by black and Hispanic prison gangs aren’t counted as left wing.
who you gonna believe - me or your lying eyes - a hallmark of being a leftists - believe things that are just impossible or defy common sense, like boys can be girls or conservatives commit more crimes than radical leftists
Also because Tim McVeigh and Terry Nichols, and the deleted John Doe #3 (Agency guy?) killed so many in one 1995 attack that is attributed to Rightwing violence is the data skewed. The Cato Inst. (Libertarian-Left) article was a typical Commie-Data shield story with citing of sources that have been clearly cultivated by Feds for decades in order to CREATE the Clintonian-Obamaesque-Jan6th notion of White Rightwinger Militia mentally untreated veterans going on violent attacks on property and persons as "domestic terrorists". Is there a problem with this category?--sure. But the Feds and Leftist Authoritarians have amplified it all to provide cover for and squelching their Leftist Street-Thug operatives' data as normal, expected, everyday crime or mostly peaceful or somehow defensive in nature-triggered by a Rightwinger--or by simply redefining crime itself to elevate the one while diminishing the other. Don't listen to media, they say, read the data and trust their "science".
So my question is...the WACO Branch Davidian Massacre by ATF-DOJ-and others that supposedly inspired the OKC Bombing plot....was that also "Rightwing" violence? or was it rather, Federal Agency Violence upon citizens? And where are those statistics in this entire conversation of Left-Right "political" motivated violence?
Clintons and CIA did Oklahoma. McVie was CIA , and is in witness protection.. Chandra Levy was given an intern job in prison bureau by her sugar daddy Gary Condit. She found out McVie was never executed, but she was protected as long as she kept her mouth shut. Some time afterward, she told a girlfriend during a phone call. Neither of them saw another sunset, . Levy's body was eventually dumped in Rock Creek Park about a year later, and a patsy charged with her murder.
what about Nichols life imprisonment ..just a dupe to give cover? And wasn't there some other jackass involved too? i recall some younger dude in AZ or something--then the whole thing was initially put out in media as Islamic Cell or Saddam Hussein plot. All the WACO evidence along with a crap ton of other Fed files went up in a blast---a bit like the AT&T building Nashville TN Christmas morning 2020, but with a hell of a lot more carnage
Haven't read anything about Nichols , but there always ha to be a patsy. You are right about all of the Waco evidence bing moved their right before the blast. Coincidence I'm sure. Check out "JFK. Primary Target. How the CIA used the Chicago mob to kill JFK", by James Files. I just read it. It's a quick easy read. There is a lot of repetition, but enough gems to make it well worth reading. That includes who and why killed Marylin Monroe, the real purpose of Watergate, and who really put Castro in power, and is keeping him there.
He fired the kill shot to the front of JFK's head. James was 21 at the time, and working for both the mob and CIA. He had already killed 20 men by then, 17 in SE Asia as a sniper. All those shots were over 800 yards.
We've been through tougher situations. I don't really care what the left thinks about it's self. I care that we get on with it and stop letting leftist anarchy fester. Trump is on solid ground bringing in the National guard. The national guard was the go-to, used to stop riots and "mostly peaceful protests", since our founding. Sometimes it was the governors calling them in, particularly during the mid 20th century, but presidents have done, since we were a heart beat old, starting with the 1794 whiskey rebellion. Trump doesn't even have to channel Andrew Jackson to cross this rubicon, he can epic troll the Dems (especially boomers in congress) by channeling Kennedy vs Wallace '63 over integration.
It all depends on how you categorize crimes of violence. Look at all the BLM-Antifa related violence in 2020. Does someone have to be killed for the crime to be analyzed and categorized as right-left?
Supposedly the costs of property destruction is thrown in. So the Federal Building in OKC being turned to rubble also shows how much more dangerous and violent the "Right" is in comparison to Leftwing attacks
The BLM riots caused millions of dollars in damage to businesses in Los Angeles —that doesn’t include the trashing of Santa Monica. I question whether or not even that data is accurate.
Protesting has evolved into a business. The odds a protest is "non organic" is far greater than zero. The Trumpster crippled Hamas by shutting down their money supplies from neighbors. The Trumpster will shut down inorganic protests the same way by cutting off their funding.
Absolutely a lie. It is true that Bibi initiated the funding analogous to the US initial funding of the Taliban to counteract the Soviets in in Afghanistan (but they quickly slipped their leash); I believe that Iran has been the major funder of Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis. And that was all recently enabled by President AutoPen’s handlers (read Obama & Jarrett) funding Iranian terror campaigns— a few inconvenient facts for you leftist traitors.
The World Order sets up countless groups to promote any type of idea, and then sets up other groups to fanatically oppose them, but the masters have no dedication to anything except slavery." The World Order Eustace Mullins 1992
I was thinking about the BLM “protests”. Sure, they didn’t kill people directly, but they did kill several small businesses with their torching and looting. They destroyed people’s livelihoods, bankrupting them along with the plandemic. They destroyed cars. They were 100% more violent than January 6th. So ridiculous!
The “nattering nabobs of negativism” (not “negativity”) quote from Agnew is actually an excerpt from a longer quote, which has a second alliterative punch at the end of the sentence:
“In the United States today, we have more than our share of the nattering nabobs of negativism. They have formed their own 4-H Club — the ‘hopeless, hysterical hypochondriacs of history.”
The speech was delivered on September 25, 1970, and written by William Safire. I was 15 years old at the time, and distinctly remember it as my first realization of the power of alliteration in speech. Later on, in crafting my own presentations, I either stumbled on or someone taught me the power of three in verbal speech… which may explain why the second part of that quote is all but forgotten.
More trivia. My dear old aunt (now deceased) used to occasionally ride the elevator in the Baltimore county office building, with Spiro Agnew, where she worked as a secretary.
When I think of Agnew’s crimes (bribes) I think of Bidden, and how he did far worse things, and yet became President. And it appears that Obama got away with doing far worse things than Watergate, unscathed, and apparently managed to achieve a third term, by proxy. Makes one wonder if the moral arc bends in the direction some claim.
Lots of boomers on this channel, so I know of this, too. Now we are learning that Spiro was another planned take-down, with the trumped up bribery charges, so that they could slide in Gerald Ford as VP (of The Warren Commission scam, which covered up the JFK assassination).
And of course “fun” trivia fact: Ford was the only person ever to serve as POTUS who was never elected on a presidential ticket. 🧐
Thought it was Safire who came up with that. Agnew was pretty useless, but he did provide the tie-breaking vote to allow construction of the TransAlaska Pipeline. That brought a lot of flourishing to a lot of people.
"Truly, who among us hasn’t lit a cop car on fire to protest an unwanted policy or two?" Oooh oooh ooooh! I can answer that one! Me me me!! I've never burned any car, or broke it's windows, or gratified on it, or even kicked a dent in one.
I have briefly wanted to rip down those "hate has no home here" signs. But then I realized that would be a libbie act. Free speech works both ways. So now I laugh at them when I see it since it advertises their TDS and Trump lives rent free in their minds. 😄😉
Those signs also irritate me. I so want to add another sticker saying something about conservative Republican voters. Instead, I giggle as a stroll past all of those virtue signaling signs. (Denver is lost)
lol that’ll make Charles mad!!! I can’t help but think of the true “kings” in the world who are mostly just figureheads now. Replaced by the likes of Starrmer.
Peggy Hall has some very interesting videos on her YouTube channel Healthy American, regarding all the signs like 31 and other free mason stuff. I was not aware of all the signs and ways they communicate. she makes some very interesting points.
I have followed Peggy mostly through the whole pandemic time…recently she has become a bit more…over the top in her journalism…she is always looking for signs and symbols in recent events…it’s what she does…not sure if I agree with her
My boyfriend likes checking the subreddit for our small New England city. It is consistently both entertaining and horrifying, for the same reason: Absolute, abject stupidity. (All of Reddit is boldfaced leftist propaganda, of course, but the leftists that infest this particular sub seem to have largely missed their turn with the brain cell.)
This morning he informed me that someone on that sub was promoting the upcoming "No Kings" protest, and actually met with resistance to the effect that the effort was futile and stupid. The response, by the leftist, was the the protest is not about ideology, but about "connecting with the community."
So, there you have it: They truly DO NOT know what they are protesting. At all. They just like holding signs next to other people who are holding signs. They probably can't even read.
The left can’t see who the real kings are in America -the political class of career politicians and Joe Biden is the poster child of everything that is wrong with America’s phony politics. A career politician, he enriched himself and his wicked family with riches no common American could afford, like two-multi-million-dollar mansions, luxury cars, a luxurious lifestyle: https://lizlasorte.substack.com/p/no-more-kings?r=76q58
Feel free to be a traitor to our country. People like you make me sick to my stomach. In my 77 years I have worked harder and earned my way to a fulfilling retirement far better than pseudo analytical assholes like you. Your lack of understanding of reality comes shining through in your post.
You are a lying maga scumbag who thinks Trump is your salvation. Just wait until he throws you and yours under the bus. Like he does to everyone once he doesn’t need them anymore. He is a goddamn criminal fascist asshole. You will see when it’s too late.
Wow, Papi – overdoing your self-loathing, huh? I could make the assumption that you must be a dependent type, living off the government. How many federal subsidies have you taken from the taxpayer? Voters like you are the reason democracies never last.
It all comes down to the fact that human nature is self-serving, thus the bigger the government, the more corrupt it will be. That applies to everyone –DJT as well. I am not happy about the increased 2 trillion dollars to the war machine when we are over 37 trillion dollars in debt that Trump supported, so I don't know how it's going to work out, but he's doing more than Congress ever did to control illegal immigration, and which as you should know, the barbarian invasion, along with dependency on the government, was a big factor in the fall of Roman republic.
And this is why Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Tytler, Tocqueville, et. al., said democracies will never last and lead to tyranny – because too many ignorant and incompetent people vote.
It’s not just about robots. I ran a manufacturing facility in Montana for a high-tech company prior to retiring in 2019. The company was pushing me to shut down operations and move it to Singapore. The argument was clearly laid out by our VP of corporate manufacturing, "even if we reduce US labor costs to zero, it’s still cheaper to manufacture overseas due to taxes." Ironically, Singapore is hardly a place with cheap labor. But the government was smart enough to attract hi-tech manufacturing by giving tax breaks. Their citizens received high-paying manufacturing jobs and they paid income tax. Every party wins - local citizens get good jobs, local government gets tax revenue, companies make profit; the only losers were the US government and its unemployed citizens. When Trump was elected in 2016, taxes were lowered and corporate sentiment began to change. Our manufacturing was not shut down and continues to thrive.
Beside the issue of labor it’s also our clean air and clean water standards. China is still utilizing coal fired electricity generators. Our country cannot have fair trade with another country that doesn’t care about those standards. Tariffs help to level the trading environment. Tariffs made the United States the manufacturing capital of the world back when there was no income taxes. The federal government was also a fraction of the size it is today. Today it is the largest employer in the country, yet it essentially manufactures nothing and produces no wealth, unless one takes into account the military armaments budget, which is a glorified welfare program for big business.
I spent a lot of time in China because I sold our equipment there. Yes, China has dirty air, suspect water and poor food quality, and all the rest of stuff that comes from an authoritarian country with no moral compass. But I can tell you this, it would take a full day to fight traffic delays to get to a meeting that would have taken only 2 hours in the States. The infrastructure in China is almost as bad as that in India. I believe the US can out manufacture any nation if it puts its mind to it. (And I’ve been to 90 countries.)
Colorado here. The medical staff has been hastening death for all too long. Ten years ago I watched them hurry along my mom even though I tried to intervene. (She unfortunately chose my lefty sister as her health POA instead of me, who has worked in healthcare most of my career.) And during the covid era an older friend was introduced to remdesivir and a vent even though she was doing quite well up to that point.
My cousin with Parkinson’s is moving to Colorado. Now I’m kind of scared for him. The disease is worsening fairly quickly and he didn’t qualify for one treatment that may have helped his mobility. His son is there but it’s not a close relationship.
His cognitive abilities have deteriorated and I live 1400 miles away. I have no idea how I would impart this info. I gave him some info once and he just couldn’t absorb it which led to days of trying to explain. I’m afraid it’s too late for me to be involved. 🙏🏻 ing for him.
I could but his cognitive processes have declined also. He lives 1400 miles away. He could try many things, including DMSO but he would not be able to initiate it just by my sending info. Sad.
"In other words, the left has transformed the millennia-old prohibition on doctors using their craft to commit what in every other sphere would be a crime —intentionally causing harm— into “care.” Care = crime = care."
"DOCTORS’ “RIGHTS” TO KILL, HARM, POISON, AND DISREGARD PARENTAL KNOWLEDGE AND CONSENT ARE PROTECTED WHILE PARENTS’ RIGHTS TO PROTECT THEIR CHILDREN FROM SUCH DOCTORS AND PROCEDURES ARE NOT PROTECTED
– How is it that doctors are protected to the extent that they can: kill babies in the womb, including cutting them apart and yanking them out body part by body part (watch “A Matter of Life” and “Unplanned”), or prescribing a 2-pill regimen that can result in life-threatening hemorrhaging or sepsis for the mother (in addition to killing the baby), including when the mother is younger than 18 years of age, without the parents’ knowledge or consent in many states; dismember, disfigure, and destroy reproductive capabilities of children, including lopping off a boy’s penis or a girl’s breasts, removing a girl’s uterus and ovaries and a boy’s scrotum, and injecting them with hormones intended for the opposite sex; and wantonly inject newborns, infants, toddlers, young children, and teens time and again with ingredients that WILL harm their developing brains, nervous systems, immune systems, GI tracts, skin, senses, organs, and fertility, and possibly kill them in their cribs while they sleep, when they eat peanuts, or when they suffer anaphylaxis, or via a slower, painful death, such as cancer or seizure disorder; BUT PARENTS ARE NOT PROTECTED to the extent that they must always be informed and provide consent for any and all medical treatments and procedures for their children under age 18, and to the extent that they can say no to any of the above without threat of CPS involvement, child removal, or loss of parental rights, and without losing access to schools, daycare, camps, life-saving surgeries, and more?"

— Charlie Kirk birthday fixed (32)
Wouldn’t it be nice if Trump (or Erika) established a Charlie Kirk Peace (or other type of service or scholarship) Prize.
The Nobel Peace Prize is a joke. I hope this year’s winner refuses the prize, but she probably won’t. It would be great if someone had the courage to put them in their place.
Looks like Machado dedictated it to Trump - “Venezuela's opposition leader Machado wins Nobel Peace Prize, dedicates to Trump”:
https://www.reuters.com/world/nobel-peace-prize-winner-be-announced-year-overshadowed-by-trump-2025-10-10/
The fake news echo chamber downplays this fact. It is crucial to realize the deliberate attempts to derail team Trump. 8 wars ended in 8 months.
Nothing remotely close has occurred in world history.
The Ukrainian "conflict" is draining Europe. Putin has the cards.
If and when that one resolves, the good guys will do a victory dance.
8 wars ended in 8 months - it is nothing short of amazing!
It the results after several years were 2, and it was a Dem admin.,
would never hear the end of it. DJT has surpassed brilliance.
See also her very gracious interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_-KpDC6eyI
This year's winner from Venezuela (the opposition leader who is in hiding) dedicated it to Trump.
The current Nobel prize winner was chosen in January 2025 which was way too early for Trump to be nominated
Except Obama received his based on 10 days in the White House, so…….
Tiny basket,
Interesting. I wonder why Israel, Pakistan & Cambodia nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize during the summer months? Why did Armenia, Rwanda, Gabonese and Azerbaijan also endorse Trump for the prize after the January deadline? I’m not familiar with the process. Thanks 😊
Pure bureaucratese!
In the circumstances, a real Peace Ctte would have, easily, found the flexibility to say, easily: “Let’s change our decision”.
What would it take?
Announcing the name “Trump” instead of whoever the Venezuelan is.
Same here - whoever the woman is who got the Ignore-Peace Prize, she ought to refuse it & say publicly that it should obviously go to the POTUS for ending wars and making PEACE.
The Nobel Prize Ctte should be disbanded. If a prize is required, some other outfit should award it. Not those dishonest partisans.
Can we discuss some real present issues please and how we can live sacrificially to resist it for future generations. Like the fast-tracking IDS that most Americans will willingly accept for a higher credit score. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmuR-pfsNvQ
Plenty of Subs devoted to exposing Digital ID. JC will cover it once the Fake News echo chamber has a reveal. That is the fomat, and liking Words that are Beyond with no interpretation...
Dr. Yeadon is a true intellect, who has exposed the entire Virus fraud, but is now educating about the Digital ID takeover for those with the bandwidth.
It will not be "beyond" anyone. He is brilliant, and oddly a former top of the tree Pfizer executive.
We need a Digital Bill of Rights amended to the Constitution.
The Bill of Rights and the Constitution were written for and include provisions for items such as Digital IDs.
Just as it has covered all other "new tech". We just need to adhere to the words.
I get that. We don't adhere to the words at all, huh?
But, we need clarity. Like the clarity of the 14th Amendment - clear as mud - or the supremacy clause and that conflict with the 9th and 10th Amendments? We need clarity.
No one wants to open up the holy grail for fear of the mob, and I get that. But we are still somewhat civilized, right? Well, IDK.
But, in the 1st Amendment, we can petition the Government for a redress of grievances. If all 50 states, in conjunction with a lot of good citizen journalists from all 50 states, would repeatedly grill their reps and senators, even for one issue – to get term limits amended in the Constitution - could we see change? https://lizlasorte.substack.com/p/how-does-a-life-long-career-public?r=76q58

The clearest message we can send is with our money and how we spend and not complying. Shop local and stay out of the big chains. Take care of your own health by eating better and stop trusting western meds/docs. Laws can always be twisted just like scripture to justify anything.
Exposing is just a first step and we're all overexposed at this point. Especially with human trafficking (which is a hoax now?)...where are the actions that should follow. I have a hard time trusting anyone who works or has worked for Pharma, ie trumps chief of staff Susan Wiles
Jsmart,
Agreed. Here is a link to my hard-hitting op-ed running on Age of Autism today, regarding the fact that MAHA (specifically Trump and Kennedy) has not done anything meaningful to stop the vaccine devastation or to restore the fundamental rights of bodily sovereignty and parental authority.

Re “No Kings” - Maybe we should give “Kings” a fresh look, in context of the last 100 years and current events. Whenever the left comes out strongly against something, it’s worth reconsideration. We need to be open-minded.
In a lot of ways, there hasn’t been a lot positive innovation re political science / governance since the American revolution, except for maybe parts of the French Revolution, and various forms of socialism (ie. communism).
If we reimagine and re-tool the concept of a King, we might have something very useful for the 21st Century.
Say, we incorporate democracy, term limits, a legislature, impeachment, and provisions against wives or children “inheriting” a kingship. We could create a strong executive position that puts the interest of the nation and the people first - instead of those of corporations and special interests. One result would be reducing the size of government, and streamline operations. Strong accountability provisions would necessary to prevent someone in the government from distributing money without knowing who it went to, or what it was used for - or for parking tens of billions of dollars in a bank account not controlled by responsible “Crown” officials . . .
The legislators would serve a single four-year term; elections would be every (2) years, for half the legislators.
Every effort would be made to suppress (but not prevent) political parties - the King wouldn’t be able to make laws, he would only be able to veto / prevent them . . .
The King would be able to pardon any criminal, of specific crimes, provided said criminal had been convicted of the specific crimes.
A King would be able to remove any judge who isn’t fair, honest, impartial, and non-partisan - There would be a removal process, controlled by the King. . . .
Lobbyists would be a thing of the past. People and groups would be able to present their cases in public forums, which would be recorded, and archived. . . . anyone peddling influence for money, would be severely punished, as would anyone accepting any kind of gift. . . .
There would be no “book deals” or paid speeches for the ex-Kings, legislators, or other high government officials, GS-14 and above, working for defense contractors, after their service, would be prohibited. . . .
Part of becoming a “king” would be what the Romans called “Cursus Honorum”. You wouldn’t be able to go from being, say, a bar tender, directly to a high government official. You would have to start with small jobs, and prove yourself: small town mayor - large county executive - governor / senator . . maybe head of a large national agency (State / HHS / DOD) . . . Then and only then are you ready for the Crown.
The point is we could be doing almost everything differently and better - but we’re not . . .
We can’t seem to get there, from here. Why is that?
I know what you’re going to say, Shayne - stop and think first - maybe sleep on it? Don’t presume to speak for others
Politicians are American royalty. Especially dem politicians. It is disingenuous for them to say otherwise.
There was never a more fundamental kingship portrayed than King Biden’s black and red speech with the military behind him “backing him.”
Put in action by classifying Soccer moms and dads , school board attendees and Catholics as terrorists—raiding their homes, terrifying their children with weapons aimed at their parents, and arrests of the elderly praying in front of abortion facilities.
Jesus is King
The history of kings and kingship is utterly horrendous for the populations they've headed. No, we definitely don't want to consider a king.
nihilism/democrats

Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
— Romans 12:1-2 NAS95
✝️✝️✝️
Thank you Janice, one of my absolute favorite verses, particularly the aspect of "transformed by the renewing of your mind". This sanctification is a core component of following Christ.
I made a comment the other day about how Christians should not be listening to non-Christians in regards to ethics, opinions, values, and morality. The poor discernment of Christians over the last sixty years, particularly looking to non-Christian Hollywood and the media for values, is an embarrassment for the Church. The Bible has countless warnings on this, regarding being in, but not of, this world.
One commenter (likely a non-Christian) gave me grief about it being "intolerant". Yes, it is intolerant and rightly so. Although it is unfashionable to say it, the Bible commands us to *hate* sin. The translation is literally the word hate, not frown on, be perturbed by, air disproval, and particularly not tolerate. But *hate* sin. Wow.
When we follow Christ, this "renewing of your mind" changes every aspect of how one views the world. It is inevitable as one reads the Bible and follows the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, we think differently. It causes one to automatically recoil at things of an ugly spiritual nature. There's an unsettling sensation when confronted by sin and people pushing sinful activities. It's a gift from God to protect us.
So let the Holy Spirit renew your mind and as Paul tells us "the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." (Phil 4:7)
Edit: A follow up comment as I think more about this. "Tolerance" is a perfect example of a supposed virtue entirely constructed by non-Christian society, yet many in the Church blindly accepted. The Bible never calls tolerance a virtue, and is extremely intolerant in many places. The "virtue" of tolerance was created to excuse sin and reduce Christian influence by secular, non-Christian media influences.
Once the renewing of your mind occurs you will never see this stuff the same way.
Adding on to the word "tolerance"... I was listening to Dr. Everett Piper on The Alisa Childers podcast today and he discusses this very word in which it is used in non and progressive Christian circles. He says (as you point out) that "tolerance" is not love and not mentioned in the Bible. When a non Christian or Progressive Christian speaks of "tolerance" it doesn't usually make sense in the context in which they want to use it. Say for the LGTB+++ community. "Tolerating" them is not loving them. You tolerate humidity, or an incessantly barking dog. Not a human in sin crisis. Christians show love to people by being truthful to them. The truth is found in the Bible.
Exactly right.
The closest virtuous trait I've found in the Bible to "tolerance" is long-suffering. But that means slow to anger, not to ignore sin or pretend it doesn't exist. God is long-suffering with our rebellious nonsense, but He doesn't ignore it. And if we don't turn to Him and repent we will see ultimately His wrath.
I used to write a lot of technical papers for senior management, and I kept a dictionary and thesaurus on my desk. That dictionary had "tolerance " in the definition of liberalism. Look it up anywhere now. At least the bolsheviks have had the decency to delete tolerance from the definition
The question is one of branding. Passing judgment is not our assignment. The question begged is are those tolerance junkies Christians??
The truth, as you mention, is for those that discern.
Truth, "Passing judgment is not our assignment." What a concept!
That was a great episode!
Bingo. In Revelation Jesus says: I have this against you, that you *tolerate* this woman Jezebel...
Jamie, And then there's that thing about: "...casting the first stone..." against that adulterous woman...
Here are some of my thoughts on judgement.

But then there’s that flipping over tables thing…
🏆🏆🏆❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥😇😇😇
Making such generalizations about The Church is not very good. At least in terms of secular issues over 60 years. There is no Christian "Church"; rather a plethora of denominations; which do not lend themselves to such generalizations. Think of the natural divide between Roman Catholics and Orthodox Catholics for example!
I think you might be missing the point. The "Church" (ekklesia in the NT) isn't a denomination but those who follow Christ. There are plenty in "the Church" (i.e. call themselves Christians) but have allowed themselves to be deluded by the world.
Also, there is nothing wrong with generalizations, the Bible is filled with them. A generalization is a description that can be *generally* applied to a body but does not describe every individual. Christ Himself called the Jews of the time "a perverse and corrupt generation" (Matthew 17:17). Talk about generalizations!
The notion that we are not allowed to generalize is another non-Christian created "virtue" meant to inhibit people from drawing obvious conclusions about the world around us.
Well said, Jeff!!!
I prefer to be called a believer in LORD GOD and a follower of YESHUA the MESSIAH
Many Believers have left the churches and formed quiet groups to study God's Word and worship Him in peace. These small groups are transforming lives. In the coming Tribulation, a group like this will be necessary to help us in the time of great deception that is predicted in the End Times.
During the year 2020, I wish I had found a group like that. Churches were too "we have to obey the government; the Bible says so!" and not enough "we ought to obey God rather than men."
Exactly. That is opportunity for the Living Covenant to be revealed.
If your "point" was what you write here, then yes I missed it.
Ah the onion skin. Begs the question which Jews was he referring to??
Of course there is a a good answer. Obvious conclusions assume good questions have been asked. That onion skin has layers...
Ah the onion. Causes eyes to water...obscures vision...
I agree with your definition of The Church, but I don’t think that definition is the same as everyone who calls themselves Christians. for example, those who call themselves Christians but have allowed themselves to be deluded by the world are not following Christ. Likewise there are people who follow Christ but don’t call themselves Christians.
also, there is a problem with generalizations if they lead to accepting the inhumane treatment of individuals or of the whole group, which is unfortunately a frequent outcome in our imperfect world. hence, i think it’s wise to qualify our generalizations so that they cant be misinterpreted as applying to everyone in the group.
Of course we should exercise biblical discernment and common sense in everything we do. The problem is the world says we are never allowed to generalize. That's obviously false as it happens in the Bible over and over, including often by Christ.
I don't agree with your statement there is a problem with generalizations. There is a problem with people who use them in bad faith to push an agenda. But people acting in bad faith are by definition bad people as they always attempt to manipulate others to their own advantage. The problem is them, not the rhetorical device.
But there is absolutely nothing wrong with me making an obviously true generalization such as, "the media is dominated by non-Christians who push an anti-biblical agenda that is harmful to Christian society". Or "John 14:6 shows Islam, Judaism, and Hinduism are incompatible with Christianity". Or "flooding the US with non-Christian immigrants will undermine the country's Christian fabric that has existed since its founding".
These are broad brush statements that are all obviously true. Yet so many people say we aren't allowed to state obvious truths, usually with the excuse they might offend someone. Yeah they might, so what? But I firmly believe that's a fig leaf. The real reason we aren't allowed to do it is it's a very effective tool used to keep Christians from speaking about obvious realties and realizing our society is being undermined. We have been taught a false gospel that worships being "nice", tolerant, and denying the obvious.
Regarding John 14:6, I’m not a religious scholar, but I’ve learned from some devout Muslims that Christ is one of their prophets and that following Christ’s teachings is very much part of their religion. One of them prayed six times per day each day for the several years that he was a student at a major u.s. university, which was a notable form of devotion that was admired by many and helped others get in touch with their own religious beliefs. So in my experience, Islam can be compatible with Christianity, depending on how faithfully the full teachings are followed. Even so, I think flooding the US with immigrants is unwise and undermines the common ground we need on many levels for peace.
I agree that “the media is dominated by non-Christians” is a true statement. It’s actually the type of qualified generalization that I meant because it seems clear to me that it doesn’t apply to everyone in the media. Sorry that I didn’t use that as an example to illustrate what I meant.
I’m all for stating obvious truths, and for exercising biblical discernment and for sure also common sense, and I also really like it that you’ve pointed out the false virtues on the left. I read your column every day that it’s available to those of us in the cheap seats. So grateful for all of your wisdom, and your efforts to keep us informed of what’s really going on in the world.
The Eastern Orthodox Church has no “denominations.”
But there is currently an internal schism in the Eastern Orthodox Church —2018 Moscow - Constantinople Schism — issue being who controls the Orthodox Churches in Ukraine…
It is also true that separation of the Western and Eastern Orthodox Churches was the result of a similar schism between Rome and Constantinople.
We all agree there have been/are many divisions, yes. But looking beyond what seems to divide us and recognizing the evil that seeks to divide us further…REJOICE, because there is one eternal communion of saints, One Body of Christ…the family of God united by our shared faith in the One True and Eternal Creator God, revealed to us as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
The Eastern Orthodox Church IS a denomination in common parlance.
There are a few chasms. The truth exists and is for those that seek.
The one asking the best questions, oddly, get the best answers.
Basically, if you follow, like I do, the Judeo-Christian tradition (which owes a whole lot to ancient Greece, a pagan society), but don’t believe in the religious part (ie, Bible as word of God, God, etc) you’re outside the Pale with Christians. This is similar to the intolerance (which I see many in these comments have a hard time understanding the meaning of) of the Woke-Progressives, who are intent on controlling your very words and thoughts. This is the commonality of intolerance I referred to.
Nonetheless, I appreciate very much your Substack.
Hi Dave - I'm not Jeff Childers but have been using "Jeff C" since the early days of Substack and comment on have a dozen pages using it. The regulars here know that but many new people don't.
I'm not saying your words and thoughts should be controlled or banned as the Left does. But as Bible-believing Christians we should look to the Bible and other Christians for our beliefs, morals, and values, not non-Christians.
Belief in Christ changes people in ways that are impossible to describe, hence the whole "renewing of one's mind" discussion. It influences every aspect of our lives. So when trying to answer life's questions and dilemmas, we should be listening to people that are like-minded.
I appreciate the civil and thoughtful tone of your comment, so please don't take this as hostile. But why are non-Christians offended by the idea that Christians shouldn't listen to them? We aren't trying to ban what you say, just that Christians should take it with a grain of salt as you don't share our beliefs.
You are the second person to equate this idea (though far more polite than the first one) that ignoring people is the same as silencing them. It couldn't be more different. I don't get it.
💯💯
Thanks for the correction. I am not anti-Christian at all, just don't believe in its dogma. The tradition is powerful, especially the forgiveness part--that's what's allowed it to endure all these years, in my view.
The “forgiveness part” is powerful because it is central to the gospel and the saving of our souls. We owed a debt we could not pay, and Jesus paid the debt He did not owe, as the old song goes.
Your comment reminded me of part of a poem called “The Journey” that I wrote back in the 90s:
So through the thorns and underbrush
My Lord led me instead;
To teach me how to really yield
With my heart, not just my head.
To learn to listen carefully
And heed every word He speaks;
Not just pick and choose the ones
I think I’d like to keep.
There is a lot to admire about Christianity and the Bible. But admiration won’t save us. It’s all or nothing. Blessings to you - Janice
I can only share a part of my own story with you.
In my young 20’s I was not a Christian. I remember too thinking Christians were arrogant and thinking the following literally almost verbatim: “They think their way is the only way, how arrogant and unyielding, how closed minded they are”.
I used to read the Bible as
Literature, for inspiration in writing for spiritual wisdom but only in a general metaphysical kind of way (I was already into Unitarian and Unity Church kind of thinking, with a good smattering of a kind of a yin-yang approach, hey bad-good balances right?).
But as I read Jesus’s words, I realized He gives no quarter, he gives us a choice to believe in Him and trust in Him, or not, but His truth isn’t yin-yang, it isn’t “COEXIST”. It’s John 14:6: “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life, no one comes to the Father except through Me.”
Arrogant, no. Solid. Truth. Yes.
There is a way that leads to life scripture says. It’s only one way. I tried the other ways. Jesus let me. They lead to death.
One other comment and I’ll stop pushing 😊. Only one “religion” has a God that pursued us.
Tolerance is Libtard virtue signalling. You have actually exposed Cathocism for the fraud it has always been. As you point out its an excuse just like the Confession box for Catholics if it even currently exists.
💯
Lesson for our times...........
The Quick & The Dead: Christ, Judge of the Æons (Part II)
An exegetical survey of the Judge of Mankind...
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.”
— Psalm 111:10 KJV
...After King David numbered Israel’s fighting men, something which was expressly forbidden lest the nation be tempted to engage in foreign conquests, The Lord sent a pestilence that decimated Jerusalem. What David saw unfolding was extraordinary (emphasis mine):
15 And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was destroying, the LORD beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough, stay now thine hand. And the angel of the LORD stood by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
16 And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the LORD stand between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders of Israel, who were clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.
— 1st Book of Chronicles 21:15-16 KJV
https://dfreality.substack.com/p/the-quick-and-the-dead-christ-judge-00d
What stands out to me, in the story about David making an unauthorized census, is when Gad (David's seer) comes and says, in effect, "you did wrongly, now God says choose from these three punishments". And what did David say?
2 Samuel 24:14
And David said to Gad, "I am in great distress. Please let us fall into the hand of the LORD, for His mercies are great; but do not let me fall into the hand of man."
We humans have little to no capacity for real mercy. So whenever I notice anyone stridently wishing ill on anyone, for even the most justified of reasons, I think about this passage, and how we really ought to be more cautious in our attitudes and actions, because God is watching and taking note.
Amen
That scripture is so on point today, Janice...thank you for delivering the right Word for the right time. 🏆🕊️🏆🕊️🏆
“And do not be conformed to this world.”
The most excellent advice. Not only are we obedient to God but we save our mental health, too.
Some 60+ years ago, my Dad insisted that he and I memorize the 12 th chapter of Romans for a church project. I was about 15 then. I still remember much of it. Every time I read it I am reminded of Dad and many other things as well. Thanks for posting it.
Thank you Janice for always bringing us back to God. Serious and very deep thanks. When I see your posts, my heart says, oh man I need this. ✝️
Thank you for telling me that. Searching for the passages always blesses me too. God is good.
Amen Janice 🙌🏼
My favorite verses in the Bible!
Classic Pauline theology for sure.
Starting to question the Beyond Me words more and more.
Reeking of Catholocism. Gotta wonder that actual origins...
One does not have "favorite" verses. One develops Spiritual Overstanding.
Otherwise one simply parrots and does not interpret.
The entire premise of C&C is Accurate Assessment. It is not parroting.
"The data just doesn't back up Trump's claims left is more violent."
.....Oh dear, it's back to the reliable and wholly authentic "no sufficient data" arguments. Can't wait for the "No Kings" peaceful protest data to be swept completely under the rug or twisted into a jaunty afternoon Easter egg hunt. Maybe they'll get the accurate data on the tons of trash and assorted other debris left behind after the bozos have their public hissy fit. The "after event" visuals are always jarring. We should follow up with a "No More Morons Day."
No Kings protest is performative to help libbie loons cope with all their feelings. Their feelings, their truths as they feel it. They have no critical thinking skills or any grip on reality. Just feelings. There. I hope I explained it. 😉😄
The left has a serious need to protest. Anything. They just need to protest something. Spirit of rebellion
There will be a No Kings protest near Daytona Beach FL this weekend- full page ad placed in the local paper. BUT, this is also Biketoberfest weekend here- so... Waiting to see how the bikers like it........
You’re a great American
I expect a full after action report
I think it is a need to be paid. I think they are too lazy to go if they were not paid. It wouls mean tgey actually had to believe in something.
Vive la resistance! They love it.
It makes them feel important. And it’s all about their feelings!
100%, it's all emotion all the time.
They have no critical thinking, just critical feelings.
Very well said..I shall use that from now on, if you don't mind.
Both sides manipulates.
My man! Not a lot of people can see this but I’m definitely glad you can!
Chess...a game for two, is useless without pawns. Fortunately, I don't play chess anymore. I have a feeling this particular game involves a host of different players with varying paths to perceived ideological victory.

Another data manipulation technique they use at these leftist sources is they label any violence that involves a person of pallor vs a person of pigment as right wing violence, despite no political reason. Very flawed “data”.
Data is as good as the information you put in. It's all BS....or certainly can be (See Fauci, et al...the list is endless).
Another is that they’ll count violence by white prison gangs as right wing, but violence by black and Hispanic prison gangs aren’t counted as left wing.
Person of pigment. LOL! I'm going to use that one.
who you gonna believe - me or your lying eyes - a hallmark of being a leftists - believe things that are just impossible or defy common sense, like boys can be girls or conservatives commit more crimes than radical leftists
Also because Tim McVeigh and Terry Nichols, and the deleted John Doe #3 (Agency guy?) killed so many in one 1995 attack that is attributed to Rightwing violence is the data skewed. The Cato Inst. (Libertarian-Left) article was a typical Commie-Data shield story with citing of sources that have been clearly cultivated by Feds for decades in order to CREATE the Clintonian-Obamaesque-Jan6th notion of White Rightwinger Militia mentally untreated veterans going on violent attacks on property and persons as "domestic terrorists". Is there a problem with this category?--sure. But the Feds and Leftist Authoritarians have amplified it all to provide cover for and squelching their Leftist Street-Thug operatives' data as normal, expected, everyday crime or mostly peaceful or somehow defensive in nature-triggered by a Rightwinger--or by simply redefining crime itself to elevate the one while diminishing the other. Don't listen to media, they say, read the data and trust their "science".
An epidemic of malfunctioning cameras marches on.
Yes I thought of Oklahoma City as skewing those statistics also.
So my question is...the WACO Branch Davidian Massacre by ATF-DOJ-and others that supposedly inspired the OKC Bombing plot....was that also "Rightwing" violence? or was it rather, Federal Agency Violence upon citizens? And where are those statistics in this entire conversation of Left-Right "political" motivated violence?
3 FBI agents who were former Clinton bodyguards were killed there. You decide.
That would be interesting to know.
Plus they are dubious cases as well. Likely are 'fall guys'.
Clintons and CIA did Oklahoma. McVie was CIA , and is in witness protection.. Chandra Levy was given an intern job in prison bureau by her sugar daddy Gary Condit. She found out McVie was never executed, but she was protected as long as she kept her mouth shut. Some time afterward, she told a girlfriend during a phone call. Neither of them saw another sunset, . Levy's body was eventually dumped in Rock Creek Park about a year later, and a patsy charged with her murder.
what about Nichols life imprisonment ..just a dupe to give cover? And wasn't there some other jackass involved too? i recall some younger dude in AZ or something--then the whole thing was initially put out in media as Islamic Cell or Saddam Hussein plot. All the WACO evidence along with a crap ton of other Fed files went up in a blast---a bit like the AT&T building Nashville TN Christmas morning 2020, but with a hell of a lot more carnage
Haven't read anything about Nichols , but there always ha to be a patsy. You are right about all of the Waco evidence bing moved their right before the blast. Coincidence I'm sure. Check out "JFK. Primary Target. How the CIA used the Chicago mob to kill JFK", by James Files. I just read it. It's a quick easy read. There is a lot of repetition, but enough gems to make it well worth reading. That includes who and why killed Marylin Monroe, the real purpose of Watergate, and who really put Castro in power, and is keeping him there.
He fired the kill shot to the front of JFK's head. James was 21 at the time, and working for both the mob and CIA. He had already killed 20 men by then, 17 in SE Asia as a sniper. All those shots were over 800 yards.
Or correlation and causation.
We've been through tougher situations. I don't really care what the left thinks about it's self. I care that we get on with it and stop letting leftist anarchy fester. Trump is on solid ground bringing in the National guard. The national guard was the go-to, used to stop riots and "mostly peaceful protests", since our founding. Sometimes it was the governors calling them in, particularly during the mid 20th century, but presidents have done, since we were a heart beat old, starting with the 1794 whiskey rebellion. Trump doesn't even have to channel Andrew Jackson to cross this rubicon, he can epic troll the Dems (especially boomers in congress) by channeling Kennedy vs Wallace '63 over integration.
It all depends on how you categorize crimes of violence. Look at all the BLM-Antifa related violence in 2020. Does someone have to be killed for the crime to be analyzed and categorized as right-left?
Supposedly the costs of property destruction is thrown in. So the Federal Building in OKC being turned to rubble also shows how much more dangerous and violent the "Right" is in comparison to Leftwing attacks
The BLM riots caused millions of dollars in damage to businesses in Los Angeles —that doesn’t include the trashing of Santa Monica. I question whether or not even that data is accurate.
Odd. No arrests for questioning who is financing those beautiful marching signs.
The World Order creates both sides.
Protesting has evolved into a business. The odds a protest is "non organic" is far greater than zero. The Trumpster crippled Hamas by shutting down their money supplies from neighbors. The Trumpster will shut down inorganic protests the same way by cutting off their funding.
Israel was the sole funder of Hamas, their creation.
Still waiting for Trump to lock up Soros and other NGOs who fund Antifa.
It's a big club and we ain't in it.
Absolutely a lie. It is true that Bibi initiated the funding analogous to the US initial funding of the Taliban to counteract the Soviets in in Afghanistan (but they quickly slipped their leash); I believe that Iran has been the major funder of Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis. And that was all recently enabled by President AutoPen’s handlers (read Obama & Jarrett) funding Iranian terror campaigns— a few inconvenient facts for you leftist traitors.
Left traitors?
Sad.

There was a great Twitchy post a few days ago debunking this assertion (of there being no proof the left is more violent).

I was thinking about the BLM “protests”. Sure, they didn’t kill people directly, but they did kill several small businesses with their torching and looting. They destroyed people’s livelihoods, bankrupting them along with the plandemic. They destroyed cars. They were 100% more violent than January 6th. So ridiculous!
The “nattering nabobs of negativism” (not “negativity”) quote from Agnew is actually an excerpt from a longer quote, which has a second alliterative punch at the end of the sentence:
“In the United States today, we have more than our share of the nattering nabobs of negativism. They have formed their own 4-H Club — the ‘hopeless, hysterical hypochondriacs of history.”
The speech was delivered on September 25, 1970, and written by William Safire. I was 15 years old at the time, and distinctly remember it as my first realization of the power of alliteration in speech. Later on, in crafting my own presentations, I either stumbled on or someone taught me the power of three in verbal speech… which may explain why the second part of that quote is all but forgotten.
Just a bit of useless trivia to start the day!
Avoid alliteration, always.
Tautology takes tension to terrifying, titillating territory.
Fun one, but I love alliterations done well.
I love alliterative names. I don’t have one myself, but I guess the handle I chose substitutes for that.
More trivia. My dear old aunt (now deceased) used to occasionally ride the elevator in the Baltimore county office building, with Spiro Agnew, where she worked as a secretary.
When I think of Agnew’s crimes (bribes) I think of Bidden, and how he did far worse things, and yet became President. And it appears that Obama got away with doing far worse things than Watergate, unscathed, and apparently managed to achieve a third term, by proxy. Makes one wonder if the moral arc bends in the direction some claim.
Lots of boomers on this channel, so I know of this, too. Now we are learning that Spiro was another planned take-down, with the trumped up bribery charges, so that they could slide in Gerald Ford as VP (of The Warren Commission scam, which covered up the JFK assassination).
And of course “fun” trivia fact: Ford was the only person ever to serve as POTUS who was never elected on a presidential ticket. 🧐
Loved Safire.
He used to write some good columns on the history and origins of various words that I found interesting.
Thought it was Safire who came up with that. Agnew was pretty useless, but he did provide the tie-breaking vote to allow construction of the TransAlaska Pipeline. That brought a lot of flourishing to a lot of people.
"Truly, who among us hasn’t lit a cop car on fire to protest an unwanted policy or two?" Oooh oooh ooooh! I can answer that one! Me me me!! I've never burned any car, or broke it's windows, or gratified on it, or even kicked a dent in one.
But you know, I'm the violent right winger.
RIIIIGGGGHHHTTTT ....
The bullshit is SO deep.
I have briefly wanted to rip down those "hate has no home here" signs. But then I realized that would be a libbie act. Free speech works both ways. So now I laugh at them when I see it since it advertises their TDS and Trump lives rent free in their minds. 😄😉
Those signs need an asterisked statement “Except hate for Trump”😁
That is one of their most hypercritical sayings. They created hate against anyone who disagrees with them. They are of their father the destroyer
Don't forget "Science is Real" LOL LOL 😜
Those signs also irritate me. I so want to add another sticker saying something about conservative Republican voters. Instead, I giggle as a stroll past all of those virtue signaling signs. (Denver is lost)
LOL!! Definitely want to take those out, but I’m a sensible human so resist any urge I make have
“No Kings” rallies are being held in Canada. Let that sink in.
"No King" rallies in Canada...OMG! That's funny and depressing at the same time. Depressing because many of the "protesters" won't see the irony.
lol that’ll make Charles mad!!! I can’t help but think of the true “kings” in the world who are mostly just figureheads now. Replaced by the likes of Starrmer.
Such a performative libbie thing to do. Go holding up pictures of King Charles. 😄
Canada is already sunk.
51st state
Nooooooo!!!
Still part of the Commonwealth too. Charles will have to look over his shoulder wherever he goes... 😏😂
That’s actually hilarious. Thanks for sharing. Excuse me Oh Canada, while the Crown has no power, you still have one. Funny.
You'd think someone would have thought to rename them "no tyrants" or something.
As it is, it sounds like they are wanting to get rid of the British monarchy.
These no kings folks are bottom of the barrel stupid. Most are women anyway. Can we deport these liberal women too.
Would a king permit a protest against them?
Folks, we do not deserve 47. The open mic with that Canadian guy was classic;
Carney approaching Trump:
"I'm glad you upgraded me to president."
Trump:
"At least I didn't say governor,"
EPIC
Deport liberal women NOW
https://torrancestephensphd.substack.com/p/dear-president-trump-while-you-at
And calling Stamier to the mike, whispering something and turning his back. Too good.
He should have just pointed for him to go back in place…. would have been icing on the cake.
I watched Starmer's constipated looking face during the whole speech. It was hilarious to watch.
Yes it was hilarious. Looked like he had a forked stick up his ass.
Agree 💯 send them to Gaza.
Lunatic box wine moms

Thou shalt not kill.
Thou shalt murder
Or told him where the mike would hear “ you can go back now Commie retard”.
I believe it was Charlie’s 32nd birthday…not 33rd.
Yes, not another Freemason reference surrounding his death!
Timing is everything.
The World Order had enough of him off script.
Roll out "a left-wing, trans-addled lunatic" to end the investigation. No comment from his secretive attorney like Luigi Mangione.
All radicals in the 60s controlled by the FBI.
Peggy Hall has some very interesting videos on her YouTube channel Healthy American, regarding all the signs like 31 and other free mason stuff. I was not aware of all the signs and ways they communicate. she makes some very interesting points.
I have followed Peggy mostly through the whole pandemic time…recently she has become a bit more…over the top in her journalism…she is always looking for signs and symbols in recent events…it’s what she does…not sure if I agree with her
I follow her on Substack
"Symbols will be their downfall" I am seeing both side throw the symbols around now.
Yes it was!
Yes Charlie would have been 32. 🙌
Would a "No Queens" protest be deemed homophobic?
Ask the queens constantly parading up and down Castro Street in 'Frisco?
Transphobic. Am I right 😉
Phobia is an irrational fear. First I fear no retard. Second, I fear no retard.
Lol
You, you, racist! 🤣
My boyfriend likes checking the subreddit for our small New England city. It is consistently both entertaining and horrifying, for the same reason: Absolute, abject stupidity. (All of Reddit is boldfaced leftist propaganda, of course, but the leftists that infest this particular sub seem to have largely missed their turn with the brain cell.)
This morning he informed me that someone on that sub was promoting the upcoming "No Kings" protest, and actually met with resistance to the effect that the effort was futile and stupid. The response, by the leftist, was the the protest is not about ideology, but about "connecting with the community."
So, there you have it: They truly DO NOT know what they are protesting. At all. They just like holding signs next to other people who are holding signs. They probably can't even read.
What a clown show 😆😂🙄
Maybe there's a pay check at the end of the protest...
Haha - totally. The No Kings is a giant playdate for the libtard boomers who are feeling confused why their lifelong world view is failing
LOL! 😂🤣
The left can’t see who the real kings are in America -the political class of career politicians and Joe Biden is the poster child of everything that is wrong with America’s phony politics. A career politician, he enriched himself and his wicked family with riches no common American could afford, like two-multi-million-dollar mansions, luxury cars, a luxurious lifestyle: https://lizlasorte.substack.com/p/no-more-kings?r=76q58
And a classified document library in his garage!
Rich enough to turn a classic Corvette into a storage closet

Feel free to be a traitor to our country. People like you make me sick to my stomach. In my 77 years I have worked harder and earned my way to a fulfilling retirement far better than pseudo analytical assholes like you. Your lack of understanding of reality comes shining through in your post.
You are a lying maga scumbag who thinks Trump is your salvation. Just wait until he throws you and yours under the bus. Like he does to everyone once he doesn’t need them anymore. He is a goddamn criminal fascist asshole. You will see when it’s too late.
Wow, Papi – overdoing your self-loathing, huh? I could make the assumption that you must be a dependent type, living off the government. How many federal subsidies have you taken from the taxpayer? Voters like you are the reason democracies never last.
It all comes down to the fact that human nature is self-serving, thus the bigger the government, the more corrupt it will be. That applies to everyone –DJT as well. I am not happy about the increased 2 trillion dollars to the war machine when we are over 37 trillion dollars in debt that Trump supported, so I don't know how it's going to work out, but he's doing more than Congress ever did to control illegal immigration, and which as you should know, the barbarian invasion, along with dependency on the government, was a big factor in the fall of Roman republic.
And this is why Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Tytler, Tocqueville, et. al., said democracies will never last and lead to tyranny – because too many ignorant and incompetent people vote.
And, if you had a brain, you would WANT to understand why history proves that democracies never last: https://lizlasorte.substack.com/p/history-tells-us-that-democracies?r=76q58
Representative Pauline, Luna from Florida she got the JFK files from the Russian embassy and she’ll be posting a English translation of them
She’s one bad ass woman
She's not bad to look at either. Just sayin....
Anna Paulina Luna. Thinking perhaps speech recognition software didn’t recognize what you meant… beauty, brains, bravery. Hard worker too.
Yes, it’s an Apple product and I think I should be speaking Korean to transcribe my speech correctly
It’s not just about robots. I ran a manufacturing facility in Montana for a high-tech company prior to retiring in 2019. The company was pushing me to shut down operations and move it to Singapore. The argument was clearly laid out by our VP of corporate manufacturing, "even if we reduce US labor costs to zero, it’s still cheaper to manufacture overseas due to taxes." Ironically, Singapore is hardly a place with cheap labor. But the government was smart enough to attract hi-tech manufacturing by giving tax breaks. Their citizens received high-paying manufacturing jobs and they paid income tax. Every party wins - local citizens get good jobs, local government gets tax revenue, companies make profit; the only losers were the US government and its unemployed citizens. When Trump was elected in 2016, taxes were lowered and corporate sentiment began to change. Our manufacturing was not shut down and continues to thrive.
Beside the issue of labor it’s also our clean air and clean water standards. China is still utilizing coal fired electricity generators. Our country cannot have fair trade with another country that doesn’t care about those standards. Tariffs help to level the trading environment. Tariffs made the United States the manufacturing capital of the world back when there was no income taxes. The federal government was also a fraction of the size it is today. Today it is the largest employer in the country, yet it essentially manufactures nothing and produces no wealth, unless one takes into account the military armaments budget, which is a glorified welfare program for big business.
I spent a lot of time in China because I sold our equipment there. Yes, China has dirty air, suspect water and poor food quality, and all the rest of stuff that comes from an authoritarian country with no moral compass. But I can tell you this, it would take a full day to fight traffic delays to get to a meeting that would have taken only 2 hours in the States. The infrastructure in China is almost as bad as that in India. I believe the US can out manufacture any nation if it puts its mind to it. (And I’ve been to 90 countries.)
Very good point!
Colorado here. The medical staff has been hastening death for all too long. Ten years ago I watched them hurry along my mom even though I tried to intervene. (She unfortunately chose my lefty sister as her health POA instead of me, who has worked in healthcare most of my career.) And during the covid era an older friend was introduced to remdesivir and a vent even though she was doing quite well up to that point.
My cousin with Parkinson’s is moving to Colorado. Now I’m kind of scared for him. The disease is worsening fairly quickly and he didn’t qualify for one treatment that may have helped his mobility. His son is there but it’s not a close relationship.
Dr. Ardis reports significant improvement in more than one patient with Parkinsons from using nicotene patch.
His cognitive abilities have deteriorated and I live 1400 miles away. I have no idea how I would impart this info. I gave him some info once and he just couldn’t absorb it which led to days of trying to explain. I’m afraid it’s too late for me to be involved. 🙏🏻 ing for him.
Sorry to hear that. We can pray for him.
Thank you. Pat is his name.
I read that Lion's Mane supplements might help with tremors. It's beneficial for nerve issues. Maybe look into it.
I could but his cognitive processes have declined also. He lives 1400 miles away. He could try many things, including DMSO but he would not be able to initiate it just by my sending info. Sad.
"In other words, the left has transformed the millennia-old prohibition on doctors using their craft to commit what in every other sphere would be a crime —intentionally causing harm— into “care.” Care = crime = care."
Our C&C member Laura Hayes addresses this topic on today's Age of Autism. https://ageofautism.com/maha-report-card-for-vaccines-and-rights/
"DOCTORS’ “RIGHTS” TO KILL, HARM, POISON, AND DISREGARD PARENTAL KNOWLEDGE AND CONSENT ARE PROTECTED WHILE PARENTS’ RIGHTS TO PROTECT THEIR CHILDREN FROM SUCH DOCTORS AND PROCEDURES ARE NOT PROTECTED
– How is it that doctors are protected to the extent that they can: kill babies in the womb, including cutting them apart and yanking them out body part by body part (watch “A Matter of Life” and “Unplanned”), or prescribing a 2-pill regimen that can result in life-threatening hemorrhaging or sepsis for the mother (in addition to killing the baby), including when the mother is younger than 18 years of age, without the parents’ knowledge or consent in many states; dismember, disfigure, and destroy reproductive capabilities of children, including lopping off a boy’s penis or a girl’s breasts, removing a girl’s uterus and ovaries and a boy’s scrotum, and injecting them with hormones intended for the opposite sex; and wantonly inject newborns, infants, toddlers, young children, and teens time and again with ingredients that WILL harm their developing brains, nervous systems, immune systems, GI tracts, skin, senses, organs, and fertility, and possibly kill them in their cribs while they sleep, when they eat peanuts, or when they suffer anaphylaxis, or via a slower, painful death, such as cancer or seizure disorder; BUT PARENTS ARE NOT PROTECTED to the extent that they must always be informed and provide consent for any and all medical treatments and procedures for their children under age 18, and to the extent that they can say no to any of the above without threat of CPS involvement, child removal, or loss of parental rights, and without losing access to schools, daycare, camps, life-saving surgeries, and more?"
So sorry 😢
Is it free speech if you are being paid to protest?
Gimme $20 and I'll give you the answer.
Nope. If you're paid, you're an actor in a play.
The no kings ninconpoops are just a passel of pesky pawns.
