Trump’s lawyers appeal of Judge McAfee’s order in Fani Willis case; Trump’s NY lawyers file massive appeal in the real estate case; and libs call for Trump judge's removal after her 2-page order.
Thank you Mr. Childers for your dissection of the latest round of lawfare. I'm a lawyer and I can't keep up.
The only thing I've drawn from any of this is that procedural norms appear to have all been thrown out the window and everything that I thought I learned in law school and in years of practice no longer seem to apply. On top of this, I am still struggling with (ahem) 'Justice" Jackson's mind-boggling remark about the First Amendment and Main Stream Media prediction of a pro-Administration decision from SCOTUS in Murthy v Missouri.
What better way to destroy the foundations of a society than to attack its judicial system.
I don’t understand the New York case at all… Jeff has expertly explained things but how is it possible for the State to come after Trump personally when there were no complaints from any of the institutions involved? How can the state get away persecution of this magnitude? There must be a reason Engoron is behaving like an angry villain in this case. Like Doctor Evil when he demanded 1 billion dollars 😂
President Trump Has Something holding him in the gap.
TCTH. 9/09/23
President Trump has something behind him, something holding him in the gap. He has the power and favor of the purest truth around him, and he has the support of a grateful nation.
Massive numbers of Americans, far more than the corrupt system operators would like to admit, are standing with President Trump as our gloriously imperfect vessel to destroy all their schemes.
It is the most remarkable moment in history as one man stands the gap and fearlessly faces down the combined effort of decades of political corruption.
Did you ever see that painting of 45 at the Resolute Desk in the West Wing, with his head bowed and SO MANY stalwart, God-fearing U. S. Presidents and people of note (most of them passed into the REAL LIFE many years ago) standing around him with their heads bowed. I wish I could share it on this Substack--I have it on my hard drive--truly inspiring!!
The real miracle would be if Trump would come out and admit Con-vid shots are horrible and were a disaster. People lied and people died and were injured.
This is giving me hope for our country that those who are "asleep" may still be awakened--you know Americans have almost ALWAYS rooted for the "underdog" in our culture. Trump--who at one time was a boastful, prideful, extremely wealthy real estate magnate--surprisingly--against all odds--became POTUS. And he led with DIGNITY and PURPOSE (even though his 'style' was still "pure Trump" and not "Presidential" as Pelosi bemoaned during an interview). He did not 'lose the 2020 election--and, God willing, he will WIN 2024's election. WE THE PEOPLE who truly LOVE our country and our heritage must STAND IN THE GAP and DO OUR PART to insure THIS election is as "tamper proof" and LEGAL as possible. It will be a DAUNTING TASK - I am actually praying that the Dominion and ESG machines all "go down" and that PAPER BALLOTS will become necessary to complete the election. Those "no excuse" mail in ballots are also VERY ubiquitous--but there's no getting rid of them this year. We MUST return to Constitutional elections throughout the country--that should be NUMERO UNO task on every state's docket for 2026.
Promoting the clot shot is probably worse than Biden's border crimes. Both Biden and Trump are on the same page granting mainstream "science" a monopoly. Jon Rappoport has gotten to the crux of the matter in his most recent substack discussing the way in which the Suoreme Court appears to be leaning in terms of free speech vs. the medical cartel.
Here is how the Supreme Court could derail the biggest free speech case in US history
JON RAPPOPORT
MAR 19, 2024
∙ PAID
Gateway Pundit:
The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Murthy v. Missouri, which concerns communications between federal government officials and social media companies on their content moderation policies and whether this amounts to government suppression or speech censorship. Missouri, Louisiana, and five individuals filed suit arguing that the federal government violated their First Amendment speech rights by influencing social media companies to censor their posts related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2020 elections.1
I can think of a dozen ways the Court could justify ruling for the government in this case.
But lurking in the background is the MEDICAL JUSTIFICATION.
The Court could decide free speech opposing SCIENCE is just too egregious and must be censored and squashed, “in order to save lives.”
Meaning: In order to protect what the government SAYS SCIENCE IS.
This latter notion wouldn’t be stated explicitly in the Court’s decision, of course. It would hover in the Justices’ minds like a holy of holies.
SCIENCE.
“No one should be able to attack science under the umbrella of the 1st Amendment.”
Opening the door to criticism of science from all comers would be tantamount to admitting that official science is not the final word.
What are state medical boards saying every day? “We decide what science is. If a doctor contradicts us, we will yank his license. We will use that power to silence him.”2
In its final judgment, the Court could rule that COVID was such a huge emergency and threat, the 1st Amendment could be temporality suspended or “softened.”
But again, what the Justices would really be thinking is: “We can’t allow a free-for-all open field where anyone can attack ‘established science’.”
This was exactly the position of the Vatican during the period when it held enormous political power. Just substitute “our version of the Word of God” for science.
Why do you think I’ve been writing about the medical cartel and the medical police state for the past 35 years? Because it has monopolistic power. Because it can kill and maim with impunity. Because the government supports the cartel.
And now we have this crucial case before the Supreme Court.
This is the modern version of a King about to tell a private citizen the Vatican has the right to treat him as a heretic.
If indeed the Court rules that way, consider how government censorship will be stepped up and expanded. And how criticism of MEDICAL will be treated.
Today, as I write this, I’m looking at a photo of several doctors—free speech advocates—outside the Supreme Court. They’re all grinning, as if they’re guests on a popular talk show.
My impression is, they feel secure in their careers and academic positions, no matter how the Supremes rule—so why wouldn’t they be happy?
Not a good sign. Not a good sign at all.
My impression is: confident lions, who are really lambs heading to the slaughter.
Do they really understand what the Justices are mulling about MEDICAL and SCIENCE in their unspoken thoughts?
I don’t trust any of the lawyers, backed up by “good doctors,” who are arguing for free speech in this case.
Because SOMEONE has to crack the eggs in the Justices’ minds and forcefully show them that science isn’t one thing, it isn’t unipolar, it isn’t official, it isn’t final, it isn’t the PROPERTY of any government or professional group.
That’s a very tall order. That’s a very high mountain to climb.
In the Justices’ minds, it’s higher than Democrat or Republican.
It’s higher than the Constitution itself.
Finally, the Justices are also gripped by the fatuous modern idea that INFORMATION, more valuable than gold or diamonds, is a sacred Trust.
And the only people who can be vested to control it should work for the government.
An extremely powerful and cogent argument has to be made against THAT.
On our side, do we have the very best people making that argument?
I doubt it.
We’re in deep waters. Don’t jump ship. We need all hands on deck. Now, and going forward.
With all the historical track record of the accepted "standard medical treatments" of past times that was later found to be completely wrong (blood-letting supposedly killed George Washington, early XRay machines caused horrible burns and radiation poisoning, shock treatments, lobotomies, spray your baby with DDT, the 1950-60s Thalidomide deformaties, the 90s Fen-Phen craze, and CONSTANT recalls of "FDA-approved" drugs that have killed and maimed and caused cancer in 100s of 1000s re: Vioxx, Oxycontin, J&J Baby Powder, etc, etc) it's difficult for me to believe the SC would take this "what the govt says IS SCIENCE so Don't Question It!" track. But at this point, nothing would surprise me.😒 🤷♀️
Loved the Fatty Arbuckle silent movie--and the very appropo tune that someone cooked up to speak the truth about "trusting the science" was "spot on". I'll be that woman at the end--kicking the doctor/policeman/scientist in the shins!!
Thank you so much. I have 50+ songs on the Scamdemic that I've written since March 2020. Here is my first one: THE VIRUS IS MY GOD. The “virus” is claimed to have invaded a town in the old west and soon worshiped as a new idol among the populace: Watch the music video here: https://turfseer.substack.com/p/the-virus-is-my-god.
I enjoyed reading this Rappaport piece. Cracking the eggs in the Justices’ minds could be like the uncracked eggs in Trump’s mind regarding his belief in the “clot shots”. This is correct, the idea about what SCIENCE really is! Thank you. Biden knows that what he’s doing is harmful to the USA whereas the egg is uncracked with Trump. Possibly?!
They both believe they are saving humanity by promoting the clot shots. It's what is known as modern day idolatry (i.e, the belief in novel pathogenic viruses).
There may be reasons he is taking this stance. Imagine if he constantly came out against the vaccines. It is likely to be a very bad decision for him, jeopardizing his chances of making it back into office. Then where would we be?
The left are already accusing him of crimes re: the vax.
This is why he lost in 2020. He was outplayed by the medical cartel. If he was smart he would have used his bully pulpit to convince people that they were being conned. But you know he's not very smart!
He did not mandate it. Every person had a decision to make whether to take it or not. I did not. It was my choice. You need to stop being a victim and take responsibility for the choices you decided…. Granted, they were hard but not impossible.
I keep remembering what 45 has said from the podium many times in the past 4 years, "The radical socialists are really coming after YOU (meaning US) - I just got in the way". After they "destroy" Trump--they will feel their true POWER to come after ANYONE who stands in their way of destroying our Constitutional Republic (what is left of it).
It's a "process" crime: "you filled out this form wrong." Mr Childers has pointed out how going after someone for a process crime when there's no injured party and no damages is itself unique. It's obvious that the point of the trial is to ruin Trump and nothing else. Every argument I've seen in support of it has said "hE bRoKe ThE lAw!!!!!1!" -- ie, hasn't actually been an argument. Every piece of real estate has one and only one true value, that assigned by the tax assessor? Really?! Have you never shopped for a house or a used car?
Exactly! So, the government can manipulate values and change definitions for their benefit but nobody else can? Still…the punishment doesn’t fit the “crime.” And if the state is starting this precedent for Trump, where are all the other lawsuits that they are pursuing for the exact same thing?
Does the state even have the jurisdiction to prosecute such crimes as financial paperwork? Lolololol
Can Trump counter sue for discrimination and prejudice? Based on the fact that the state has never in the past prosecuted such things to this extent, nor are they pursuing ANY other criminals? Nor did they have a reason to pursue charges based on the evidence presented in court that was intentionally and illegally ignored. Maybe Leticia and Engoron’s financial applications for their purchases should be reviewed and scrutinized to the same extent?
Surely they didn’t exaggerate or overvalue anything…
Yes, I'd very much like to see New York City going after every single borrower that stated that their property was worth more than what the tax assessor said. There'd be both mass protests as well as mass abandonment of NYC. There wouldn't be a developer left ... except for friends of the party.
A very powerful political persecution within a very controlled political environment. Welcome to 21st-century media soiled politics. It's shocking that this is allowed to go on. Then, the Supreme court sock puppet mentions that the 1st amendment restricts government...!!! How did this person graduate law school
Yes, she’s SO DIM she actually said she fears the 1A can «hamstring» a government.
WHAT????
She doesn’t even understand the whole idea of the 1A is that no-one - especially government - can SQUASH free debate, discussion & expression of FREE THOUGHT & OPINION.
She has absolutely NO BUSINESS BEING PART OF THE SCOTUS.
She clearly thinks government should have the right to CENSOR DISSENT.
What bothers me Astragale & ConcernedGrammy is the fact that she was approved, by both left and right politicians, as competent to be one of nine people to sit on the most complex and potentially life changing courts in the world. We indeed are being governed by idiots.
We truly have a UniParty in DC, each taking turns playing good cop/bad cop. I've watched several of those confirmation hearings. The Republicans call them out with a bunch of mean words and seem to rake them over the coals due to their extreme partisan (or communist/Marxist) prior papers, articles and/or Tweets. The video clips are posted on YT and you think "Wow, NO WAY! What a rotten choice for (whatever)!" But if you go back and check, they all get confirmed anyway! It's absolutely astounding! Every one of them are either arrogantly rude or just plainly stupid and REFUSE to answer any questions or spit out some Kamala-word-salad!! I've watched KBJ, a couple of Federal Judges and the National Archivist, Collen Shogan, who is just a flaming social justice warrior, liberal activist! With that chick keeping our archives, there's no telling what our current "history" will look like in the future. 😕
PS -I didn't even know the "National Archivist" was an presidential appointment and never had any interest in that until I stumbled over those video clips 🤯 (annual salary -$204,000).
I’m guessing if you found “failing up” in the dictionary it would have her picture beside it. She’s the embodiment of “failing up”. The ultimate diversity token. Dumb as a stump but the right color and politics.
Trump's lawyers argued that it is, indeed, not possible to sue him over it for several reasons (but of course the judge didn't agree). Perhaps he will prevail in those arguments on appeal; certainly some of the arguments about government not having standing to intervene in commercial transactions seemed prima-facie strong.
You don't understand NY "justice"--THERE IS NONE! Read some of Marty Armstrong's (the world-renowned economic forecaster) newsletters sharing his totally UNJUST incarceration while working as a hedge fund manager in Manhattan in the 1980's and 1990's. Marty was in a horrid NY jail for over NINE YEARS on a simple "contempt of court" judgment--which was TOTALLY ILLEGAL.
Someone has to file a complaint though it may not have to be an injured party. Of course, this is usually thrown out because of "standing" unless the complainant is the government. In that case they can spend all of that taxpayer money to destroy the individual taxpayer without any repercussions even after they are found to be in the wrong. "For the people" indeed.
Growing up in the 50's and 60's, I am so reminded of the "show trials" of the Soviet Union which we made fun of. Now we have become that which we ridiculed.
I, too, grew up in the '50s and '60s (a kindly-meant correction: the apostrophe belongs where the digits have been left out, as in a contraction ("aren't) and not before the s, which improperly denoted the possessive form). Forgive me; you're far from alone in this mistake!
Oh lordy, I don't know why egos can be so sensitive. I appreciate the opportunity to incorporate someone else's insight even if it is a correction. Besides, I love the English language.
I tutored remedial English for a decade at the local community college. Here's one of my oft-repeated tidbits: Every sentence must have a subject and a verb. I would scour the students' work to find sentences lacking subject-verb agreement or lack of a subject or verb altogether. The second biggest error was the use of object pronouns in place of subject pronouns, like this: Him and her went to the concert. Nowadays, I am finding that English words are becoming truncated at the end. People are using the word 'bias' as an adjective instead of using the word 'biased'. There seems to be a huge disconnect between spoken English and its written form.
Yes we’re losing the past participle in many cases, it seems 😕 There has always been a disconnect between written and spoken, written lags behind spoken (for good reason) but although I am more of a descriptivist than a prescriptivist, I do lament this particular change because I think it results in less clarity of expression. And don’t get me started about the made up pronouns! People who don’t even understand how language works are tinkering with it and creating huge clarity issues 🙄
Anything written in the vernacular of the day confuses all meaning to the modern reader even if that reader is only a single generation removed from the author. There may be a nefarious point to these semantic shifts. Explaining by example, I encourage you to research the etymology of the word "unicorn" which one may find used six times in the King James Version of the Bible.
I just want to see everyone quit using the apostrophe to form a plural. Oh, I might as well shoot for the moon and also wish for subject-verb agreement.
I just want people to stop saying "less" when they mean "fewer." someday I'm going to have a bumper sticker made that says, "Less milk, fewer cookies."
That brings back memories. My early years of public (state) schooling were spent in Michigan where "progressive education" held sway. We moved to Macon GA in the middle of third grade and my new teacher informed my parents that I did not know how to read because I had been taught the "look-say" method of reading which is a method for teaching the deaf to read. This teaches English as ideograms rather than as a phonetic language. That was "progressive". So my parents hired a retired school teacher to drill me in phonics after school. She was thorough. From that point on, I excelled in English. Prolly explains why kids can't read today.
Heh. English is such a mixed bag that you kind of need both methods. Phonics for the general case, and then a mental list of "words that are pronounced different from how you'd phonetically expect"...
That's not the same as the "look-say" method which literally handicaps students. That is just becoming familiar with all the complexities of any phonetic language which comes with experience.
That is true. I grew up in the backwoods of the Florida Panhandle in the ‘50s. I was a late life child. My daddy had a 5th grade education, not that uncommon to his upbringing. And my extended family spoke an interesting sort of English that the grammar police would have had quite a time with. However, I have no doubt my parents are doing just fine in heaven.
I remember getting drilled in grammar in grade school. This was in the deep south, Macon Ga, in the '50s and back in those days - at least in the South - grammar was a very serious subject.
First of all. Nice photo! And you are looking good! And God Bless you for the comment. It is greatly appreciated and I have been doing it wrong for years. The correction is welcomed. Very much so.
Not teaching grammar, not diagramming sentences is a huge, huge mistake. But I know why this all is being thrown out the window. It's because it makes us look at what parts of speech do, what their function is, and how to logically express coherent strings of thoughts. To wit, the infamous 'they' want to dimmish our capacity to think with clarity.
The comments here have caused me to reflect on the ability to think logically. I was schooled in the logic of English grammar and composition and when I was in college I took courses in both logic and semantics (S.I. Hayakawa). Another venue that teaches logic is mathematics. I initially did not excel at that thanks to the "new math". In home schooling my boys, mathematics (using Saxon math) was always the first subject of the day. By the time they finished high school, they had completed calculus (11th grade) and then the Cal Tech freshman physics textbook "The Mechanical Universe".
I feel sorry for the last couple of generations of school children. Both of these subjects, language and math, have been gutted and the ability of the students to think logically has been destroyed. Nothing good shall come of this.
Thanks for the compliment, Dave, and you have perfectly laid out the nefarious plan that precipitated our illiteracy. But by raising these not insignificant issues, we'll not let them win! (I think you mean "diminish"😘)
I didn't know that, but I really appreciate that someone is holding the line. Even the Apostrophe Protection Society has given up. It is like broken windows theory, though, since I am constantly shocked by published text without noun-verb agreement. There's a great t-shirt that I got my friend for Christmas, with a shield and the logo "Grammar Police." You can buy tickets to give out also. All we ever hear about are pronouns, but Stephen King says "The road to hell is paved with adverbs." Now, I hear, one is even allowed to start a sentence with "but."
Apostrophe Protection Society shuts down after 18 years, blaming 'ignorance and laziness'
Well, when they're teaching the opposite, 'they' as a singular pronoun, to refer to a "non-binary" person, it's hard to even explain singular and plural. (And, as noted by a FB account called, I think, Binary, saying some are non-binary and some are binary is itself dividing people into a binary system, lol.)
Oh, yes, another exasperating class of errors! And Richards is a man after my own heart; didn't know about him and I'm Canadian. But here's another abomination: "the exact same". Ugh. We used to say "exactly the same". Not only grammatically correct but ever so much lovelier to the ear.
When I home schooled my two boys, I did not use a formal grammar course. Instead, I had them read great literature and gave them a grammar reference book to use when writing their essays. That seemed to work and they picked up proper grammar by reading classical literature.
Phil, that was the core of ours, too, though I did find a year or so's worth of a curriculum that had the student read brief essays or paragraphs and edit them for grammatical corrections. I liked that one.
I homeschooled my daughter, too! She taught herself to read from Archie & Veronica comic books, as well as the wonderful kids' picture books we took from the library. So, you gave your sons a much more highbrow education!
There is a coffee kiosk chain in my area whose signs proclaim them to be KELLY LATTE'S. I don't care how good their lattes are, I refuse to give money to a flagrantly illiterate company. If they have no idea how to wield an apostrophe I can't trust them to properly use an espresso maker. My husband thinks I'm being too judgmental but a woman has to have standards.
I spent many years proofreading documents and I can always tell when someone used Spellcheck but did not actually proofread their document, email, article, menu, sign, etc., ad nauseam. It drives me nuts; it is like an itch in the brain that just cannot be scratched.
Joanie, what a kindly made correction! Corrections usually carry an air of superiority, hence the term ‘grammar Nazi’. But yours was so sweetly made that it was a genuinely helpful comment. Thank you! I’ve made the same mistake that Phil did, and will certainly try to remember the correct use of apostrophes.
Thanks, Freebird. I learned that the hard way: years ago, my thesis supervisor so snidely corrected me, that I know how it feels to be treated like trailer trash for an innocent mistake. But it stuck with me!
Joanie, I used to correct my employees' grammar on draft memos they submitted for my review before distribution. One time, a memo came by and needed no corrections at all. I put a sticky note on it, saying, "Good job!" I heard through the grapevine that the employee showed it around, saying, "Look! No corrections!" Lol.
"Could care less" when what is meant is "Couldn't care less." As a grammar Nazi myself I am in awe of your ability to stay civil in the face of misused apostrophes.
Interestingly, although we're all sort of off topic, I find myself to be amazed whenever I hear the phrase, 'I could care less', meaning that actually they do care somewhat and there's room for even less 'care'. Whatever happened to the phrase 'Couldn't care less'? Sort of like the misuse of 'begs the question'.
Joanie, would you write every news station in the country and tell them ‘had’ is used incorrectly? Please? “Joe Smith had his car broken into this weekend”. What, did he pay someone to break into his car?
I’m sure I make many sentence structure mistakes, but this one makes me crazy.
I had an online argument about 2A and "the right to bare arms". I corrected them, it's "the right to bear arms". Someone else said, "No, "bare" is correct. Bear is a grizzly!" 🥴 I directed them to the original document and also the dictionary explanation (which actually helped me!)
Merriam-Webster
"In cases where you are referring to the state of being uncovered or naked the word you want is bare: “bare necessities,” “bare essentials,” “bare legs,” “bare bones,” “bare-knuckle,” and so on. **The verb bare has only one meaning: “to uncover.”** All other verb uses are for bear: “bearing children,” “bear south on the expressway,” “it bears repeating.” Bear is the only one of this pair that can also be a noun."
And that is such an anomaly (its and it's), isn't it? Because normally the apostrophe correctly denotes the possessive . But no, here it's reserved to mean 'it is'.
The apostrophe does double-duty: in contractions as well as possessives. English grammar is complicated indeed! Glad you enjoyed the Cousin Itt reference. Itt’s funny.
Thanks for the re-education, the type of re-education I like.
Oh, wait! Did I do that hyphen right? Pray tell...
Grammar was already difficult to learn, harder to remember multiple decades later. And on top of that, we have the misgendering b.s. which foobars most of the rules. Sigh...
OMG! The comments in this thread are hilarious. The Grammar Police. The Apostrophe Police. Professor Adverb. I gave up a long time ago when my grandchildren began texting me JK, LOL, OMG, ROTFLOL, etc. Heck, they cannot read or write in cursive and did not even know what the word cursive meant.
Every time I hear someone say something like "communism was never really tried" I wonder if they are aware of the USSR's existence. Humanity has seen all this before and it wasn't pretty then, either. And it didn't end well, for anyone.
Why is that, though? Why can't people give this addiction up? The Marxist mind virus. The "it's never been tried." (Even a commenter here at C&C threw this trope out.) I get why leaders like it: unlimited power and wealth is pretty compelling. But how can anyone think top-down micromanagement of everyone's lives and livelihoods is somehow a good thing in 2024? Do people not realize it means you don't get to pick what you do for a living? Do college professors really think they will be given a seat at the table of power? Sorry to derail. This just blows my mind.
- The 'natural slaves,' who want, or even need, someone else to run their lives.
- The useful fools who haven't studied real history and think that, yes, they will be given a seat at the table of power.
- People like the Chinese physician I met at a conference: she said she didn't realize she lived in a totalitarian state until after her medical training was completed and she wanted to live in the same city as her parents and boyfriend/future husband, but wasn't allowed to. (They did marry and managed to emigrate legally. When we met, they lived in Maryland and she was a representative for a medical device or drug company, can't remember which, and she sold to China, of course, traveling there frequently.)
- Finally, the takeover of education by government, using the Prussian top-down model, which facilitated the spread of the regressive Progressive assertion that in these modern times we need new systems, not like that old, dusty Constitution, and we need experts to tell us what to do and how to do it, because life is complex and sciency. I see this last assertion in various forms all the time, now that I'm aware of it. I think a lot of people have absorbed it without realizing it. It might be why so many rolled over immediately when told to do ridiculous things for Covid.
Great points. There have always been people who think they know better and should have the power to dictate how everyone else should live. The names of the “superior groups” just change. But the idea is always the same.
Good points. Thanks for sharing. Related to that last one is this other idea I hear/perceive. Not only are things complicated and science-y (and "nuanced" - man do they like that word), people today are seen as better or smarter. Like: yeah, those people back then failed when they tried this thing, but we'll do it right this time b/c we're smarter than they were.
Putting aside the obvious truth that, in general, people are less smart now by any meaningful measure, the issue with the Marxist systems is that they run counter to human nature, which hasn't changed at all.
I also wonder what makes people think it would be good to have no one poor or hungry? Like shame, those seem to serve an important function in society. Decouple outcomes from actions and you get nihilism and apathy.
IDK, it's all so easy to see through and yet so many can't seem to do it. I'm kind of done being polite and putting up with it when people start talking about it, though. Seems to be a moral imperative at this point.
Political Phil, As I was reading your comment, I expected to see that the fall of the Soviet Union had something to do with punctuation or grammar. I did find this--the only mark Russian punctuation lacks is an apostrophe.
Ah hah: Apostrophes and the Fall of the Soviet Union.
If by communism you mean Marxism, I do not believe either country is communist anymore. China is simply a totalitarian government run by a bunch of elite thugs (whose days are numbered). They are communist in name only. Russia is a post-Marxist society and they have no intention of going back to that misery by either the leadership or the people. Communism died with the fall of the Politburo.
The US has LONG ceased to be a republic in spite of some insistence that we are a republic. America has been taken over by a combination of Maoist Marxism and Nazism (which is also a form of Marxism). In spite of appearances, the law of the land is not the Constitution. All of the law-fare surrounding that is but a distraction from the reality of the Marxist tyranny we now live under. The last vestiges of the Republic disappeared in 1913 with the creation of the Federal Reserve which was the enslavement of all Americans to the international banking system. The "law of the land" in America is the United States Code (USC) - not the US Constitution. The Constitution has been superseded by the USC. The United States Government is not a republic. The USG is now a corporation and the USC is the law of the land and the American people are the "assets" of the corporation who they have mortgaged to the international banking system through the privately owned Federal Reserve.
All of the appeals to the Bill of Rights in the Constitution are simply distractions to keep us ignorant. The appeals themselves are false. These appeals are made in terms of the Constitution giving us certain rights. Wrong! The Government cannot grant rights because rights are INALIENABLE - or better yet, unalienable. Our rights are inherent in our Creation and are unalienable because they are rights given to us by God. All the Bill of Rights does, back when the Constitution meant something, was to emphasize that the Government was not to infringe upon these rights and that list is not exhaustive of all the rights God gives us.
There are others on this forum who can chime in here with better content than I can provide should they chose.
Chad Champion: Since the founding of the Federal Reserve in 1913, the U.S. has lived through 3,000 percent inflation. A dollar equivalent back then is worth about 3.2 cents today!
Yep. Most people just give up and back down. At this point, Trump fighting these lawfare abominations is effectively him fighting these things in our place. Because if he loses these, we can be assured we will all eventually be hit with similar when we cross the PTB.
That's why Trump's arrest and mugshot made waves in the black community: If they can do it too HIM, they can do it to us! Greatly increased his support base.
They're making a martyr out of him. Normal people can see pretty clearly - if they do it to him, they can do it to me. The injustice is so obvious. Watch his entrance to a recent UFC match. He gets an ovation like he's one of the fighters. Which, I suppose he is.
Well, it was a process crime, so that's appropriate. It occurred to me last week that "straining out a gnat and swallowing a camel" is a good description of what Smirking Judge Engoron did.
Lawyers get together all the time! It is naive to think they don't. Making these trumped up cases so complex is the problem with all our institutions! I am just hoping others realize and wake up to the value of simplicity.
All the layers in our reality are not helpful. They slow everything down. Flip the switch on the thinking that man knows better than God. God's given cures and bodily design far out weighs man's greed and stupidity towards humanity and our planet. What man has done cannot continue.
We cry for clean food, air and water. We cry for all wars and sacrifices to stop! We cry for lives filled with compassion and intention to make each and every man, woman and child realize their importance and purpose. This does not happen when the evil wins and it wins when we get depressed, ungrateful and lack joy despite circumstances. So rise up and put on that happy face and be thankful for every little thing. Realize how favored you have been! The more we stay into the now, just today, the more we negate past and future worries!
I am thankful today the sky is blue in Jacksonville.
Thank you for those last words reminding me that I am lacking joy. I’ve felt depressed and began to wallow in it. Time for change, I have so much to be grateful for and, though it’s depressingly snowy weather here, and other things are taking me down, I know I can find that joy. Also, is Trump not an inspiration for the downtrodden? Thanks again, Jaci.
You are most welcome! I sincerely feel we need to give hope and help in any way we can. What we have been living through has not been easy! If you are a spiritual person, find Jared Rand on Rumble or Youtube. I have been listening to him layer new truths and move me out of the unquestioning top down teaching of religion! 👍💕
Thank you, Jaci. I really appreciate your words. I consider myself to be a spiritual person…daily prayers, etc. I am on Rumble and will look for Jared Rand. New inspiration from recommended sources can be most valuable and I am truly thankful for this referral. Have a lovely week! Are you soft ‘c’ Jaci, or a hard ‘k’ in your name pronunciation, please?
Jackie...short for Jacqueline! My older brother was John...Jackie...a girl can't spell her name the same as a boy! Let me know your thoughts about Jared. I signed up for your Substack!
Thank you. I understand and have a sweet niece with the same name as you. I will be listening to Jared tomorrow so, yes, I’ll let you know. I have to admit that my substack is blank because I really don’t have the time it takes to get started. I love writing but I’m more interested in what others have to say and so I read voraciously. 😍
Well it terrifies me to think that we are now down to putting all of our hedged bets on the undervalued (and overly populated with shites) backs of LAWYERS of all things. But looking at how badly we all have underestimated the evil that lurks in the medical field I am starting to realize that every "profession" is very much populated with an over abundance of shites with some really good and smart folks peppered in there. We are all praying for these good men and women to PLEASE for the love of God take the reins! And ffs please stop the elevation/devaluation of ANY group--(e.g. most/least trusted professions)--since they are ALL human there will always be bad eggs in there and often nowadays as part of the educational / indoctrination system they are weeding out the good ones as much as possible looking ONLY for followers and disallowing those who think independently. Bill Rice wrote a good article about this last week I will link below. Have a great day all! (OH--and I certainly do not mean to disparage lawyers and I will likely feel bad the next time I tell a lawyer joke--but keep in mind I still love a good blonde joke and have been sporting the haircolor all my life so...)
I used to be so proud, as a pharmacist, that our group was the "most trusted" professional. Then we were edged out by nurses. Then nurses started doing TicToc dances in empty hospitals and pharmacists started bullying patients into jabs and such and now it's all just each man for himself. No solidarity.
Me too. But honestly wasn't the first thing you learned as a pharmacist that there are some seriously stupid doctors (and pharmacists) out there? Should have been our first clue. ;P
Well, lawyers ghost write the laws (as lobbyists) and are rubber stamped by the lawyers that are the large majority of Congress. Which is why the laws are often so vague...
lets take a lesson from the Bard: "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers", and since every rule must have its exception, let's keep Jeff. Then, once common sense kicks in, I think the system will correct itself
Context: This famous Shakespeare quote from King Henry IV Part 2 has been taken out of context for 400 years. From Olivia Rutigliano on Lit Hub recently:
DICK: The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.
Dick is a villainous character—he is a large, threatening murderer, and he is also the right-hand-man of Jack Cade, who is leading a rebellion against King Henry. Cade and Dick are aggressively anti-intellectual; they kill anyone who can read and burn all the books and documents they encounter. They know that they’ll be able to take over an ignorant population with greater ease than one where everyone understands their rights.
If there were no other amazing reasons...Mr. Childers has brought me to respect immensely those who are REAL public servants in this area. OBVIOUSLY brilliantly logical abilities needed and gifts i don't have and cannot comprehend. Give me yarn. Thank you thank you thank you.
(To GOD'S credit I knew Covid worshippers were baffoons so at least that I learned it by reading my Bible.)
Who would've thought the 1A was "hamstringing" the government? LOL. How did this lady get on the Supreme Court? The entire point of the Amendments is to hamstring the government. Or, rather, to limit what it can do to us. Affirmative action on full display with that midwit. I can't see how the rest of them could lean in the same direction. It's so incredibly wrong an interpretation. (Then again, so is claiming there is a right to abortion hidden somewhere in the Constitution.)
Well, though I am anti-abortion because the person being aborted has rights, too, a right does not need to be written down to exist - "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." (Ninth Amendment)
Rights given by God are inalienable; they can't be changed or taken away ("among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness"). The unborn child has those rights from the moment of conception.
Jeremiah 1:5: “I knew you before I formed you in your mother's womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.”
Who could have the temerity to destroy what God is in the process of forming?
Is there any way to recall or impeach a Supreme Court judge? Clearly KBJ has no clue that the Constitution limits the power of the government, not the People. She has no business being a judge, let alone on the SC.
John ... in short, Alice in Wonderland, Humpty Dumpty and Clown World, all tied with a neat bow by the Queen 'of with there heads' of Hearts. This whole world is watching and that is what they see. And those who are pushing on the string little care, if they even think, of the consequences of their actions. Their only singular goal is to bring in the hybrid Marxist Revolution ... and liquidate anyone in their way.
yes, I was so glad to leave there and return home to dear old England, although these days the NHS is in league with the Queen of Hearts, sorry to say ~
I think about England but have no real feel for it. However, from films and from people of my Dad's generation, and with the passages of time, I think that England must have been are real terrific place ... at least up until the end of the 1950s. In the sixties, as with here in the states, everything went to Hell with the Mods, the Hippies and so on. And after that, Hell never stop to look back. Just kept right on going. And here we are!
In 1959, my Dad took us to Bermuda which was named after one Juan de Bermúdez, who discovered the archipelago in 1505. We stayed in the St. George Hotel in St. George, which I believe is long gone. I loved the place, and particularly the British tone.
We now are under the worst Evil in the most expansive way. We have nothing left to us now but to dig out. And this is how bad it really is. just some minutes of the talk is enough.
You are welcome. And yes, for me too. And what an exquisite man in all respects. it is a delight to see and hear such. Especially these in these contemporary times.
With all due respect, sir, isn't this the end goal of all of these lawsuits and the corruption we are witnessing in the courts... to so destroy the very rule of law, the constitution, and how our country runs? So that we can then be enslaved by a few global thugs who will tell the taxpayers how they can live? POWER at any and all costs. Once again, think SOROS!
How is the NY real estate case not in violation of the 8th amendment? Not victims no loss etc but a 450 million fine? Tibbs vs Indiana decided in 2019 over the state attempting to seize a 40,000 vehicle from a drug dealer was overturned by the US Supreme Court 9-0 as excessive fine because the state maximum statutory fine was $10,000 for the crime the defendant was guilty of.
The job of every government prosecutor and judge is to seek out the truth of a matter and administer justice. It is not to purposely harm people. Prosecutor James made it very clear when she ran for her position she wanted to “get Trump.” Even if Trump did commit a crime or civil offense, the punishment, the judge’s ruling, is an outright violation of the Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution: “Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.” This is so blatantly obvious the Supreme Court should immediately intercede or be derelict in their sworn duty to support the Constitution. If this outright corrupt nonsense is allowed to continue at some point all manner of civility will be destroyed and nobody will be safe!
But NY believes it is not bound by the constitution. All them libs feel they can do whatever they want. Pretty soon they will do away with the electoral college to give their states even more power
They are working on that too. Common Cause and other Soros orgs are pushing hard to eliminate the electoral college. They are arguing it's for "democracy". They are clearly doing it so that large cities like NY, Chicago, etc. can dominate national elections. The electoral college's elegant design is to protect the country from urban concentrations of population. Thomas Jefferson: "I view great cities as pestilential to the morals, the health, and liberties of man."
Why do you think they're taking and keeping all those illegals? This is their end run around the Electoral College, running up their numbers of EC votes. They're bound and determined to destroy us.
We're in a war for our very survival as free people. One side is fighting with every means at their disposal without a thought to legality, ethics or morality.
Our side seems content to comment on the destruction.
The United States Constitution is the supreme law of the entire country. Any law, regulation, judicial ruling or executive order not in pursuance of the Constitution is not with standing, or in other words illegal, not obligatory to be obeyed.
Most of the state Constitutions are very similar to the U.S. one. Many additions, but I think the core is quite similar. So likely the NY state Constitution has an 8th amendment almost identical.
The problem is you can use the process to bankrupt defendants if you misapply the law maliciously. Lawyers are not free or cheap if you want to win.
Maybe in this case the judge decided for himself what the fine should be in order to punish the defendant since he knew there was nothing else he could legally do? If the properties are worth as much, why not sell them to pay my fine and keep my constituents happy - two birds one stone: kill you, grab your properties.
The psyops is working. My 85 year old father admitted to me over the weekend, unsolicited, that the government hates us and that there was no reason for us to get involved in the Vietnam War, Afghanistan and all other recent military operations. Everything happening right now is even waking up my elderly father.
THIS! My 84 yr old father, with whom I argued, debated and cried over the Covid debauchery, finally admitted the other day that it was very disturbing to have to acknowledge one can't trust one's own government. He was so disillusioned. I know I felt the same way when Covid opened my eyes. (Side note: he finally came to that conclusion after reading documentation of the many lies from a judicial watch group. Believe me? Never!) I'm just thankful our family was able to recover from the trauma of being on opposite sides for so long.
In my family, it is our children, as well as my FIL, 86, who are blind. I prayerfully await what has happened for you and Alison Smith. We seem to now be able to talk, but NOT about cvd or, until this morning, about the govt. This morning our son sent a meme about tiktok and the govt's desire to censor it. I am not a fan, but I AM a fan of my son's eyes opening. Praying for my family, and everyone's, to see what is actually happening. PS, I, too, am completely disillusioned. I used to think American was flawed, but generally stood for what was right....not anymore.
How’s it feel to find out at about 45 years (23 years ago) that we are the black hats. Not we, the people, but them, the government? At this stage in my life, I’m prepared to give my life in defense of freedom here, on our shores, against our own corrupt government.
But we still can’t talk about Covid!! 😂 It all came about because he asked who I was voting g for in the primaries and then the conversation evolved from there.
Interesting! Praying for your son's eyes to open fully! Wish i could see the meme. could you try to describe it? I do enjoy Tik Tok. I find it very entertaining and uplifting. I can see why today's youth rely on it. It is not a downer like facebook or twitter, although I have those also for different purposes.
I don't have an account, just watch select comedy breaks that come up on my fb. Does that do the same harm? I always figure that I'm being spied on every time I pick up my phone anyways. ..
With tens of millions of people watching every single moment of every single day, yeah, they came up with a good algorithm. The commercial value has to be in the multiple billions. To some extent I think it's too late but anything that hinders the commie chicoms is good with me. Divestiture will be tricky.
yes, it is one of those split screen, top and bottom. On the top 2 girls with the caption: US Citizens...Um, whatcha got there?
On the bottom, a guy and an ostrich in a restaurant (don't ask me!!!), and it says: US GOVERNMENT and "bill allowing them to access/censor/ shut off all of your data and devices connected to the internet without your knowledge. And underneath that, A TIKTOK BAN. Looks like it is by whydidisavethistomyphone March 30 2023 with the hashtags: censorship, unconstitutional, free speech, first amendment, big brother, dystopian. As an asid3e, it is much harder to describe than I thought it would be!!
Kim, you are lucky, my 90ish folks are lifelong conservatives and never really believed the hoax but their doc made them take the two shots plus a booster. My brother, his wife and two grown kids are covid maniacs. But, now he’s had a pre-Christmas heart attack and she has turbo basal cell skin cancer and they’re testing for Parkinson’s or dementia.
Makes me sad and mad all at the same time. 100% sure they won’t look at FLCCC or explore any alternative options. (Brother is 69 and she’s 66ish).
Yep. Watching my life-long bff struggling with weird health issues after she took 1J&J + 4pfizer 💉after she’d already had covid. On the advice of her MD.
I’m convinced she has only survived because she was already taking HCQ for arthritis.
My 86 yr old mother, author of many books and with an Ivy League masters in journalism (one of the first women) will not hear any of it. She laps up the NYT and CNN all day long. She can still finish the NYT crossword most days, but it’s so sad to hear her parrot the narrative, day after day.
Some of my family members would ask my medical advice during and after medical school, but virtually never took it, lol. But "no prophet is accepted in his hometown."
"23Jesus said to them, “Surely you will quote this proverb to Me: ‘Physician, heal yourself! Do here in Your hometown what we have heard that You did in Capernaum.’ ”
24Then He added, “Truly I tell you, no prophet is accepted in his hometown." (Luke)
My own personal thought that is he uses weightlifting as a stress release and for the past 10 years his stress has been a heavy load therefore his muscle mass has increased considerably. He should still buy shirts that fit properly.
I asked my Daddy about it today. He can't find his copy. It could have been Judicial Watch or maybe Alliance Defending Freedom. I wish we could remember.
I’m 81. Wonder why it took these guys so long. I figured all this out years ago. My first lesson was when I was discharged from the army in 1967 in Germany and we were told not wear our uniforms going on airplanes or in airports because soldiers were being attacked and spit on. Later in the year I went back to college in California to finish the last semester for my BA and learned to hate liberals. Oh yeah, I grew up in typical democrat Jewish home. I kept the Jewish part.
It seems some people's identity is wrap up with their political beliefs and cannot examine their beliefs critically. We see this especially with woke liberals but also with lifetime "conservatives".
Others like yourself, have acquired wisdom from your years, meaning you had the ability to learn.
Thank you for mentioning Smedley Butler. I have tried to reference his book and the things he said but I could not remember his name to prove it. You have solved that problem for me. So again, THANK YOU !!!
I wish my sister would wake up. She’s always sighting the NYTIMES. I sent her John Leakes SS from yesterday and I don’t think she even read it. All she could say is “McCullough has been “debunked😵💫. He made incorrect comments during Covid” I pressed for specific examples of where his Covid statements were wrong. I’m still waiting to hear exactly what those were. She’s completely nuts. And now I have to go power walk to clear my head!
This link was posted yesterday by Political Phil. I am about half way through it and I am off the edge of my chair. Powerful stuff. Just a few minutes into where Martin begins to speak, and you will be hooked.
You could reply, "Maybe he said something wrong. But MSM and the gov't said EVERYTHING wrong. And McCullough treated and saved thousands of patients with fewer than a dozen deaths. Home many did NYT save?"
I can hardly bear it when people say that Andy Wakefield's contributions "have been debunked." I think that word is one of the worst and most powerful buzzwords; also, that only the hynotised use it. People who are awake, conscious,and aware will express their perspective differently, they will not just grab a label---"DEBUNKED!"---to slap onto something they're unwilling to give (heaven forbid!) their very own personal thought to.
That word is nonsense. I once asked what was the opposite of “debunked”. Is it “bunked”? Also, the root is “bunk” which I use as a sanitized form of BS. If something is de-BS-ed, then it is proven to be true. 😜
lol ... agree. A highly bogus word. I looked in my Webster's New International Dictionary, second edition, unabridged ~ Noah has never steered me wrong. It says that "debunk" is a transitive verb meaning "To divest of 'bunk.'" Then, in italics, "Slang. U.S." Also, that the noun is "debunkment," an irresistible word new to me which I may have to start using, to aid me in better attacking those misinformers who falsely claim to be virtuously and in good faith doing it. :) What bunk they do spout!
If it was not for Jeff, all of this stuff would be so far over my head. It still is for the most part, but he makes it understandable for those who a deficient in understanding anything legal, like me.
Nice to know! Thank you! I just want simple. That includes cars, light bulbs, washing machines...you cant even make an appointment without having to log onto s portal....oh well, I think the worst is integrated voice response customer "service"!
I would like congress to pass legislation ordering that the state pay for all legal fees accrued by a defendant where the state is the plaintiff, regardless of the costs involved, if the defense prevails.
No person should suffer jeopardy when the state falsely accuses them of a civil or criminal misdeed.
"Loser pays."
That would solve a huge % of the legal tussles in the US.
I would go a couple steps further. All legal fees, all related expenses (like hotels for trial venues), damages to reputation, etc. And add a multiplier - any prosecutor found guilty of malicious prosecution is subject to the same penalties as the accused.
So, in this case, the pasty judge would be liable for $400+ million if it were overturned. That would stop that crap right there.
Unfortunately,they have a 99% conviction rate due to their bottomless resources paid by us and the deference shown the govt by overly trusting or corrupt judges, especially in DC. It's a sick, abusive relationship.
We pay out for things like Ukraine, Illegal Immigrants to invade our country, lifelong pensions for politicians that have been in office their entire lives, abortions, endless government agencies that do nothing but restrict the lives of the taxpayers,
and I could go on and on. We never get a say in how our tax dollars are spent and there is no accountability in government spending. The Ethics Commission is one of the biggest farces of all time.
over prosecutions. But I certainly don’t want to oay for someones defense when they are guilty. Too difficult sorting it out. So no thank you. I’d rather donate to someone’s legal defense fund if so moved.
Someone who knows they are guilty won't mount an all-in defense if they know they will have to pay if they lose.
"Loser Pays" will reign in some evil prosecutors, especially if the new law builds in sanctions for the state actor who brings malicious prosecutions.
Otherwise, the Jack Smiths, Leticia James, Fanny Willis', and Judge Edgeron's of the progosphere will continue their Bolshevik show trials without retribution.
That’s why there are wonderful legal groups like Pacific law Institute, and first alliance… they represent the little man with very good attorneys for free
The little guy 99.99% of the time stands no chance. It has always been this way to a large extent. But certainly, even more so with the Weaponized Law system. Regarding this, Trump is right when he says that they ‘have to take him down’ because Trump stands in their way of massacring us once the Woke Marxist Revolution is brought to completion. I have plenty of Trump complaint, and especially with Warp Speed. HOWEVER, Trump has put his entire wealth on the line. Yes, he has put facing down the enemy ahead of the god of money. Maybe there is calculation there of which I have little appreciation of. But still he put himself out there … and with all the pressure … overwhelming pressure brought to bear against him. This I have to respect. Even be thankful for. For all the faults, there is something remarkable there. Life is indeed complicated.
I knew one guy to tested things out. He squealed his tires, got himself arrested for not being ‘cooperative’. He went before the magistrate and refused to consent to anything, including fingerprints, the mug shot … everything. And so they jailed him. He spend three days in jail before they let him out on bail. He went before the judge and did everything just right, including object to ‘their’ court. After the a lot of rigmarole and with the judge saying something, the guy said to the judge, “Your Honor, can you tell me what kind of procedure you are following?” The judge said, “Substantive procedure.” And the guy said to the judge, “Your Honor, can you direct me to the where the rules of substantive procedure a delineated.” Judge … “Case dismissed!” To make this work, one has to know not to consent to anything with the Court’s court. And where to make repeat objection.
So true, I'm just waiting for an FBI swat team with guns drawn and helicopters over my house to breach my door and haul me off to solitary confinement for having a controversial dream while sleeping. I have started sleeping in PJ's because I am expecting the raid to happen at anytime.
What we see over and over with these Trump hating judges (actually any Trump-hater in power) is that they exercise almost no self-control. Someone smart and thoughtful would understand that using extreme measures (such as requiring a $464M appeal bond) would likely be counter-productive in the big scheme of things. It appears outrageous to the layperson and complicates things legally.
Yet they can't help themselves, they are blinded by hatred fueled by hubris (plus they just aren't very intelligent to boot). One of the things I've taught my kids is that decisions based on emotion are almost always bad ones. You have to calm down and think things through before acting except in extremely time-urgent situations (which almost all decisions aren't). Somehow these people never learned this.
great teaching for your children, Jeff. One of my cardinal rules in running my business for 45 years: "If you need an answer now, the answer is no". My people came to realize that if something needed an immediate answer, follow our process and make it happen. Reduced the amount of times I got drug into non essential decision making and empowered them.
Yours is a great rule for business, but it goes far beyond that.
Manipulators almost always try and create an unwarranted sense of urgency to force a decision to their advantage. They count on people making emotion-based bad decisions.
It's rampant in advertising (which I've truly come to believe is dominated by sociopaths) with "limited time offer" and "you must act now" type of stuff. It's the reason the car salesman tries to get you to buy that day. Look at how Feed the Children attempts to manipulate people to give them money with pictures of malnourished kids. I assume they have good intentions yet they toy with people's emotions to persuade people to give them money.
There's a reason advertisers talk about the coveted age 25-54 demographic. People younger than this don't have any money, people older have acquired wisdom and don't fall for it as easily (or at least they shouldn't).
We, as Canadians, are experiencing that right now. With Trudeau (the Liberals) knowing his (their) days are numbered are trying to force the most ridiculous bills into law, making us, as Canadians, write letters to our government officials to stop the bills in their tracks.
I am in a constant state of amazement at what has been happening in Canada, and I pray for y'all. I was pleased to see you say "...knowing his (their) days are numbered". I have not gotten that impression anywhere before. I PRAY that what you said is true.
That kind of pressure makes me want to do the opposite! Car dealers who try to pressure me into buying a car that very day just make me want to walk away without buying anything and never come back!
Bill's solution works here, too - "If you need an answer now, the answer is no."
My father taught me that these "on sale now!!!" ads were exactly as you say, and that there would be another sale.
My high school boyfriend bought a car based on such a sale, and in future years, when the dealer was too cheap to re-cut the whole radio commercial, they just had a voiceover inserted to update the model year of the car, lol. It burned him every time.
LOL TRUTH! Do you know how many times I’ve ignored an ad, only to see the same ad return 2 days or a week later? Eh! Doesnt phase me. And if there are only 2 left and it goes before I decide then I didn’t really need it! LOL
exactly....One rule similar in nature I've lived by is when making a big purchase, I NEVER buy or make the deal on the first trip (car, house, boat, etc) I've actually gone back and the item was gone, but oh well...there'll be more. When pressured for the "yes," in these situations, it's always a "no."
Well said. Arrogance is of course rooted in Pride, the “original” sin by the Father of Lies himself. “Sin (also) makes you stupid” as my pastor says. Stupidity combined with unchecked emotion leads to hate, which is irrational (without reason) and what the TDS crowd all suffers from. But of course one cannot reason with an emotionally immature or upset person (of any age). If it wasn’t so infuriating to see the chaos these idiots create, it would be fun watching them have their hissy fits.
Pride, or false pride, as sin is sometimes called the biggest one of them all because we give unto ourselves what is not ours, but God's. Simply put, glorification of ourselves is not glorification of God. And to enable the sin, it is mandatory that we first deceive ourselves. But once we are made delusional by our own deeds and/or mind, the all Evil becomes possible.
Wanna fix it fast and easy? Adopt the UK system of loser pays the winners' legal expenses. That's why you don't see frivolous lawsuits there. Part two I(my idea) f you want to add a diabolocialc nuance that will eliminate almost all of the willing stooges. If a judge rules in favor of the defendant in cases like this that the lawsuit might have been politically motivated, and defendants ' legal expenses are above a predetermined limit, an automatic referendum will appear on the next ballot for the people to decide if it was indeed politically motivated. If the people vote "yes, ", the prosecuting attournies are disbarred and an automatic 3 year jail sentence. Now, that's justice.
This is true. And it leaves one scratching one's head in amazement. But again, one has to remind oneself that we are not dealing with mature learned individuals here. We are dealing with infantile miseducated ideologues whose moral code is nothing more that the Satanic Code (Do as you will). These people have no restraints and therefore no compass. Sooner or later such end up wrecked upon shoals.
The real brutal question is: what will we have to endure before this all self-destructs? This Dr. Martin things is long, but very sobering. And it is how we all should be talking but aren't.
The bond to appeal in the NY case was 100% designed to be punitive. That was the point. After all, the case was never about justice. It was designed to punish President Trump, keep him busy, and severely weaken his economic position.
An elderly veteran limped into the car dealership where my friend works as a service manager and sat down in his office. He just had a knee replacement and they had found a blood clot when operating. He said with all the weird health problems circulating with his family and friends, he concluded it must be from the repeated shots the government mandated … He seemed totally beat down and defeated, when he softly said, he couldn’t believe the country he loved and fought for, would knowingly do this to its people. It literally brought my unvaxed friend to tears.
It is heartbreaking. I feel so disillusioned. My thought is that I love my country. I love the premise on which it was built and the Constitution. However, I loathe the government.
The Founding Fathers (deliberately not using the genderless "Framers" BS word) loathed government too! That's why the Constitution specifically limits government power.
I called Walgreens recently and the recorded message now says if you’re over 65 you need a shot every 4 months. Then yesterday I saw an article advising immunocompromisef folks to get them every 6 months. And Moderna is building huge plants to make more. It’ll be every month shots soon. I feel like I’m in a dystopian novel.
I heard the same recording and it made me want to vomit. I wish there was a way to leave a message and tell them to get that stupid recording off so we sane people don’t have to listen to their bs. 🤦🏼♀️
I think I laughed out loud, thought they’d promised yearly shots like flu? Honestly, that every 4 month thing should wake anyone with only a few brain cells up that the whole thing is a lie.
Med Page just published an article saying the same thing--every 6 months for a covid shot. The disclosures were incredible. All but one contributor disclosed massive conflicts with pharma companies:
Diefenbach reported serving on an advisory board to AstraZeneca.
Kotton reported no relevant financial disclosures.
Segev has consulted for AstraZeneca, CareDx, Moderna Therapeutics, Novavax, and Regeneron, and has received speaker fees from AstraZeneca, CareDx, Houston Methodist, Northwell Health, Optum Health Education, Sanofi, and WebMD.
Chemaly has been a consultant to ADMA Biologics, Janssen, Merck/MSD, Partner Therapeutics, Takeda, AiCuris, Roche/Genentech, Astellas, Tether, Oxford Immunotec, Karius, Moderna, InflaRx, and Ansun Pharmaceuticals.
I understand the tears. All those good men and women fought and died for what, to give those in power the right to try to make this country into a communist craphole where no one can speak, do or think without the government's approval? I don't think so.
Soros said around 8 years ago: the US is proving to be the hardest to turn into the NWO.
This great satanic vision of his. Ugh.
So he put his oodles of demon money into those persons and groups that would help it along, and here we are. Yes, we are the hardest. The EU and Canada capitulated easily, but we have people like Trump and RFKJR, and so many good citizens and lawyers and judges who will not be bought.
I see us as 50-50. We are indeed kicking and screaming, Mr. Soros.
I think the downfall of that guy will be his hubris. He thinks he has us figured out. He doesn't. I once read a joke about rednecks sitting in a tree all day without moving, waiting to shoot something (referring to game hunting). He doesn't get that. He doesn't get the spirit of 1776, which is alive and well in many of us. He will never get it. You're either an American, which means you get the feeling, or you aren't and you don't and you never will. It's something innate and internal, not something that can be trained, just as I will never truly understand other cultures I did not grow up in. Our American ancestors passed this spirit down. And he has no clue how furious some of us are. He doesn't understand dying on your feet as opposed to living on your knees. He and every other one of these bastards will not get it, and we won't give it up, so that is why someone that evil will never win. I'd rather sit in a tree all day waiting to shoot something than live in his world.
Those pesky Scots-Irish or Ulster-Scots at it again. This definition of Redneck taken from Electric Scotland website.
"The origins of this term are Scottish and refer to supporters of the National Covenant and The Solemn League and Covenant, or "Covenanters", largely Lowland Presbyterians, many of whom would flee Scotland for Ulster (Northern Ireland) during persecutions by the British Crown. The Covenanters of 1638 and 1641 signed the documents that stated that Scotland desired the Presbyterian form of church government and would not accept the Church of England as its official state church..
Many Covenanters signed in their own blood and wore red pieces of cloth around their necks as distinctive insignia; hence the term "Red neck", which became slang for a Scottish dissenter*. "
Very interesting. I had never heard that explanation. I thought it came about as a slur against white people who work outdoors and have sunburned necks. Thanks for another perspective.
The fact that ol' George, and now Alex (the Fresh Prince of Davos), are alive tells me that EVERY NATIONAL LEADER on this planet (with the possible exception of Xi) is on the Soros payroll.
Our military could take those guys down in one day. Mossad likely could purge them in 15 minutes. The evil Putin, maybe 15 seconds. But noooo, the Soros clan walks to and fro on the earth, just like their soul brother Satan.
Interesting. I still cannot think why anyone would want to be as dark as Soros, including Soros himself. I think the same of people like the late David Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger, etc.
Thank you Jeff Childers for being my new voice of reason as well as good humor. Reason and humor.... where can you get such a great combo for less I ask you????
So semi-off topic, but that air freshener stuff is awful. My neighbor has Febreeze or whatever the heck, all over her house. She gave me a bunch of expired food because I am broke and will gladly eat it, which was very nice of her and I am grateful. However, everything she gave me reeks of chemical air fresheners. I tried to make a box of something that has mashed potatoes and a biscuit mix in it. I opened both plastic bags and could smell chemicals on the food. I tried a box of pasta roni and both the noodles and packet of sauce smelled of Febreeze. I mean the food itself, not just the packaging. Airing it out does nothing. So this chemical sh*tstorn pernitrates not only the cardboard boxes and plastic bags, but sticks to the food itself. I suspect the canned food will be fine, although the smell stuck to the labels.
I think even the makers of this chemical nightmare would agree it was never meant to be eaten. I don't know how her and her husband don't have asthma or worse. I will never understand why people think having chemicals all over their house is a good thing.
Wool dryer balls will change your world...at least the part of it involving your laundry. Goodbye liquid softener and dryer sheets, both of which add chemicals to your laundry.
I put a few drops of Lavendar essential oil on the pure wool dryer balls, it’s great!
I’m tired of dealing with all the smells from my neighbors using poison laundry stuff. I literally have to close all my windows and turn up the air purifier.
Use a magic marker to write down the contents, and dates of the canned food and get rid of the labels so the stink doesn't permeate your cupboards. Myself, I don't worry much about dates so much as texture and smell.
Oog. This house I am now renting was completely inundated with air deodorizers. It took me WEEKS to get the poisoned air out of here, and this house is literally only about 500 square feet. There were some curtains left, and I could not wash out the stench, no matter what I tried, so I tossed those. I don’t know how people can stand that sickly odor.
@Mark St or as a friend once commented, when you spray air freshener in the bathroom after someone poops, all you smell is Christmas tree-scented poop!
”And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose.“
But the sense of the sentence is changed a bit, don't you think? That's why I like to look at multiple translations at once and sometimes also at what the Hebrew or Greek words were.
Here's Young's Literal:
"And we have known that to those loving God all things do work together for good, to those who are called according to purpose;"
Beware the real difference in translation vs version vs one man's idea. Not saying these are wrong but we all need to know what they are and what they isn't.
It is certainly a wonder that we have Bibles in every language.
Almost every, RJ, and you raise a critical issue for us. Apparently, nearly 100 million people today don’t have the Bible in their native language (2023 Global Scripture Access - Wycliffe Global Alliance). We have serious 1st-World problems, but the 3rd World lacks sufficient food and clean water, and millions “have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit” (Acts 19:2). The WEF is literally hell-bent on overwhelming us with their de-humanizing global strategy. We will overwhelm them with our mandated global strategy: “Love your neighbor” and “Make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 22:39 & 28:19).
I don’t want to have this conversation: “I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink” . . . “Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty?” . . . “Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me” (Matthew 25:42-45). I don’t want to get caught standing around waiting for somebody else to do my job. “I saw another angel flying in midair, and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth—to every nation, tribe, language and people” (Revelation 14:6).
Here's our nudge: “Open your eyes and look at the fields. They are ripe for harvest” (John 4:35).
It doesn't mean that everything that happens is good, but that God will somehow bring good out of it. I think we may not always see the good in this life, but I am confident God is keeping this promise. My parents divorced in 1970, when divorce was practically unheard of. It did lasting harm to my brother and I, from which he never recovered. I still have a deep-seated problem trusting people and don't easily form close relationships, although my husband and I have been married for 52 years. I can speculate on how God might have brought good from the divorce, but can't say that I'm really sure. I do know, without a doubt, that God put several very difficult people and situations into my life in order to make me more bold and willing to do what I think is right. That served me well during covid and after. I am speaking out and if people don't like it, that's okay. That said, I am so sorry you lost your mother when you must have been very young.
Jaci, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. <3 What a hard thing - to lose one's mother so young. Unfortunately, there are some things that we just won't understand until we see God face-to-face. His ways are not our ways. (Isa 55:8-9)
Death comes to all, do not make any exception, but there is hope to those who went to sleep in The Lord. Now, you need to talk to God and He will answer you!
Jaci, please ask God for an answer to your question. Were you made stronger by that terrible loss? Was your mother spared some terrible thing?
Life is difficult for everyone in one way or another, none of us get out without a measure of suffering. The key is in trusting God, No Matter What! He loves you and wants you to be His child eternally.
The ‘good’ spoken of in Romans 8 is often hard to see, but it’s the end game, the ultimate resolution of God’s will for your mother, for you, and everyone involved.
My mother died early, too. She was ill toward the end of her life and endured much pain and suffering. It helps me to know she wouldn't come back here if offered the chance to do so, and it's possible she WAS offered a choice.
I realized just this year that my mother couldn't have given me advice about many things that concern people my age, because she was never my age. It's hard to think of her as permanently younger than I.
Yes! The entire chapter of Romans 8 is magnificent! It truly contains so much of the ‘meat’ of scripture. My daughter recently told me that she memorized the whole chapter. I wish my mind were still capable of that!
The words of the wise heard in restfulness are better than the shouting of a ruler among fools. Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good.
To the date of four years ago, Michigan has shut down their Coronavirus government updating site. In the first almost two years it was daily updating, horrifying people via msm who duly reported numbers of daily deaths. Then it went to 3 times a week, then twice and for the last year it’s been once a week. They claim the data will all be archived, (which was always highly suspicious), but just checking on our local county stats for the last week, it was already removed. There will never be any chance to audit their corrupted numbers. But the “good” news is the statewide emergency has finally been rescinded….covid will officially be logged like influenza strains…
We have someone in Ohio who is suing the state board of health for all of their covid records. It is now being deliberated in the Ohio Supreme Court because of course our government agency refuses to cough up the data.
4 years later! Unbelievable!! No offense to Michiganders, but I could not live there with that level of insanity. It stinks because I had planned to retire to the UP, which is amazing, and I believe my native ancestors lived in the area.
Michigan has really fallen, no doubt due to Governor Poisy Hat's ambitions. Detroit has been "chosen" as a Center for Urban Transformation by the WEF. And the cortisol lipped governor asked people to house "migrants" in their spare rooms recently. Then we've got Ms. Tlaib, the Hamas lover. It is as bad as California here, with Plumped Lips substituting "social emotional learning" for literacy and numeracy, and Pride preschools, no doubt with required vaccinations, 72 at least, including coronavirus. Huge billboards with "diverse" people happily participating in clinical trials-- those who fall for that no doubt ending up abandoned like Maddie de Garay. Few places are any better though. I'd wanted to go to New Mexico, but UNM teaches whiteness studies instead of the humanities, Luhan is a Biden posterior licker, and even the Unitarians have fallen to wokeness. No doubt a plastic surgeried Epstein is out at his ranch up to the same old pedophilia.
The abominations occurring in NYC are the template for the entire country in the coming years. The complete loss of rule-of-law and the destruction of those who oppose the DC Swamp's tyranny.
Great update on Trump’s legal proceedings. Encouraging! I was afraid Lawfare Letitia would sell Trump’s NY real esteem for pennies on the dollar to the Biden and Hochul families.
My heart breaks for Trump. I will never forget the hope his shining, albeit a bit ostentatious, Trump Tower brought to a sickly looking, dirty, neglected and depressed New York city. I lived in Manhattan those years.
Then other buildings went up and with each building you could sense a slow Renaissance of the city he loved as much as he loves the country which made it possible.
My heart breaks. These people are vampires. Evil to the core.
I've wondered about this aspect, Angela. Oprah had him on multiple times, I think (based on clips shared by others; no TV in our house), and it seemed he was viewed as sort of a savior of NYC (similar to Giuliani, regarding crime), yet now both are hounded through lawfare. Why self-immolate? Where are the millions who benefitted from their work? Are they all silent?
@Jpeach or as another commenter somewhere suggested, use them to house illegal immigrants, just to pour salt in the wound. That’s got to be one of Tish James’ most enthralling fantasies. 😒
Everything happening seems so overwhelming, until we remember that it’s all spiritual warfare. “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against powers and principalities.” People in very high places (and some in not so high, like District courts) have been doing the enemy’s bidding for a very long time. But be of good cheer; we know Who wins! 🙏🏻
What has been the salve to my soul is our church sermons recently reminding me that GOD is the keeper of justice. It is not for me to worry about or take justice into my own hands. God said vengeance is mine!
Thank you Mr. Childers for your dissection of the latest round of lawfare. I'm a lawyer and I can't keep up.
The only thing I've drawn from any of this is that procedural norms appear to have all been thrown out the window and everything that I thought I learned in law school and in years of practice no longer seem to apply. On top of this, I am still struggling with (ahem) 'Justice" Jackson's mind-boggling remark about the First Amendment and Main Stream Media prediction of a pro-Administration decision from SCOTUS in Murthy v Missouri.
What better way to destroy the foundations of a society than to attack its judicial system.
I don’t understand the New York case at all… Jeff has expertly explained things but how is it possible for the State to come after Trump personally when there were no complaints from any of the institutions involved? How can the state get away persecution of this magnitude? There must be a reason Engoron is behaving like an angry villain in this case. Like Doctor Evil when he demanded 1 billion dollars 😂
He looks ridiculous and foolish!
My heart breaks for Trump in this clearly unjust witch hunt.
Everyday and several times a day, I pray for Pres Trump, even at mealtimes asking blessings. There are probably many like me, I’m sure.
As for Julie Kelly, I believe she sees truth and her understanding of Judge Cannon’s decisions are likely perfectly on track. Let us pray.
We’re witnessing a miracle.

And this…
President Trump Has Something holding him in the gap.
TCTH. 9/09/23
President Trump has something behind him, something holding him in the gap. He has the power and favor of the purest truth around him, and he has the support of a grateful nation.
Massive numbers of Americans, far more than the corrupt system operators would like to admit, are standing with President Trump as our gloriously imperfect vessel to destroy all their schemes.
It is the most remarkable moment in history as one man stands the gap and fearlessly faces down the combined effort of decades of political corruption.
It truly is inspiring.
No man could withstand this level of pressure on his own strength.
Did you ever see that painting of 45 at the Resolute Desk in the West Wing, with his head bowed and SO MANY stalwart, God-fearing U. S. Presidents and people of note (most of them passed into the REAL LIFE many years ago) standing around him with their heads bowed. I wish I could share it on this Substack--I have it on my hard drive--truly inspiring!!
Yes, it is indeed inspiring!
What people around him lend him support and bolster him?
Trump supporters.
The real miracle would be if Trump would come out and admit Con-vid shots are horrible and were a disaster. People lied and people died and were injured.
It like asking him to stop coloring his hair… he is Trump. Time to forgive and move on. You don’t have to forgive. There are bigger evil going on.
There is no cure for TDS.
?
Thank you. GREAT ARTICLE!
This is giving me hope for our country that those who are "asleep" may still be awakened--you know Americans have almost ALWAYS rooted for the "underdog" in our culture. Trump--who at one time was a boastful, prideful, extremely wealthy real estate magnate--surprisingly--against all odds--became POTUS. And he led with DIGNITY and PURPOSE (even though his 'style' was still "pure Trump" and not "Presidential" as Pelosi bemoaned during an interview). He did not 'lose the 2020 election--and, God willing, he will WIN 2024's election. WE THE PEOPLE who truly LOVE our country and our heritage must STAND IN THE GAP and DO OUR PART to insure THIS election is as "tamper proof" and LEGAL as possible. It will be a DAUNTING TASK - I am actually praying that the Dominion and ESG machines all "go down" and that PAPER BALLOTS will become necessary to complete the election. Those "no excuse" mail in ballots are also VERY ubiquitous--but there's no getting rid of them this year. We MUST return to Constitutional elections throughout the country--that should be NUMERO UNO task on every state's docket for 2026.
Yes!
Same Angela!
Yes unjust but just as unjust with Trump praising the clot shots as he did last week. And please don't tell me he was "misled."
In your mind, how does this compare with the Biden border crimes? Just wondering …
Promoting the clot shot is probably worse than Biden's border crimes. Both Biden and Trump are on the same page granting mainstream "science" a monopoly. Jon Rappoport has gotten to the crux of the matter in his most recent substack discussing the way in which the Suoreme Court appears to be leaning in terms of free speech vs. the medical cartel.
Here is how the Supreme Court could derail the biggest free speech case in US history
JON RAPPOPORT
MAR 19, 2024
∙ PAID
Gateway Pundit:
The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Murthy v. Missouri, which concerns communications between federal government officials and social media companies on their content moderation policies and whether this amounts to government suppression or speech censorship. Missouri, Louisiana, and five individuals filed suit arguing that the federal government violated their First Amendment speech rights by influencing social media companies to censor their posts related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2020 elections.1
I can think of a dozen ways the Court could justify ruling for the government in this case.
But lurking in the background is the MEDICAL JUSTIFICATION.
The Court could decide free speech opposing SCIENCE is just too egregious and must be censored and squashed, “in order to save lives.”
Meaning: In order to protect what the government SAYS SCIENCE IS.
This latter notion wouldn’t be stated explicitly in the Court’s decision, of course. It would hover in the Justices’ minds like a holy of holies.
SCIENCE.
“No one should be able to attack science under the umbrella of the 1st Amendment.”
Opening the door to criticism of science from all comers would be tantamount to admitting that official science is not the final word.
What are state medical boards saying every day? “We decide what science is. If a doctor contradicts us, we will yank his license. We will use that power to silence him.”2
In its final judgment, the Court could rule that COVID was such a huge emergency and threat, the 1st Amendment could be temporality suspended or “softened.”
But again, what the Justices would really be thinking is: “We can’t allow a free-for-all open field where anyone can attack ‘established science’.”
This was exactly the position of the Vatican during the period when it held enormous political power. Just substitute “our version of the Word of God” for science.
Why do you think I’ve been writing about the medical cartel and the medical police state for the past 35 years? Because it has monopolistic power. Because it can kill and maim with impunity. Because the government supports the cartel.
And now we have this crucial case before the Supreme Court.
This is the modern version of a King about to tell a private citizen the Vatican has the right to treat him as a heretic.
If indeed the Court rules that way, consider how government censorship will be stepped up and expanded. And how criticism of MEDICAL will be treated.
Today, as I write this, I’m looking at a photo of several doctors—free speech advocates—outside the Supreme Court. They’re all grinning, as if they’re guests on a popular talk show.
My impression is, they feel secure in their careers and academic positions, no matter how the Supremes rule—so why wouldn’t they be happy?
Not a good sign. Not a good sign at all.
My impression is: confident lions, who are really lambs heading to the slaughter.
Do they really understand what the Justices are mulling about MEDICAL and SCIENCE in their unspoken thoughts?
I don’t trust any of the lawyers, backed up by “good doctors,” who are arguing for free speech in this case.
Because SOMEONE has to crack the eggs in the Justices’ minds and forcefully show them that science isn’t one thing, it isn’t unipolar, it isn’t official, it isn’t final, it isn’t the PROPERTY of any government or professional group.
That’s a very tall order. That’s a very high mountain to climb.
In the Justices’ minds, it’s higher than Democrat or Republican.
It’s higher than the Constitution itself.
Finally, the Justices are also gripped by the fatuous modern idea that INFORMATION, more valuable than gold or diamonds, is a sacred Trust.
And the only people who can be vested to control it should work for the government.
An extremely powerful and cogent argument has to be made against THAT.
On our side, do we have the very best people making that argument?
I doubt it.
We’re in deep waters. Don’t jump ship. We need all hands on deck. Now, and going forward.
Without let-up.

With all the historical track record of the accepted "standard medical treatments" of past times that was later found to be completely wrong (blood-letting supposedly killed George Washington, early XRay machines caused horrible burns and radiation poisoning, shock treatments, lobotomies, spray your baby with DDT, the 1950-60s Thalidomide deformaties, the 90s Fen-Phen craze, and CONSTANT recalls of "FDA-approved" drugs that have killed and maimed and caused cancer in 100s of 1000s re: Vioxx, Oxycontin, J&J Baby Powder, etc, etc) it's difficult for me to believe the SC would take this "what the govt says IS SCIENCE so Don't Question It!" track. But at this point, nothing would surprise me.😒 🤷♀️
Unfortunately the degree of brainwashing and conformity has reached its apotheosis in these dark times. Thank you for your sagacious comment.

I enjoyed reading this Rappaport piece. Cracking the eggs in the Justices’ minds could be like the uncracked eggs in Trump’s mind regarding his belief in the “clot shots”. This is correct, the idea about what SCIENCE really is! Thank you. Biden knows that what he’s doing is harmful to the USA whereas the egg is uncracked with Trump. Possibly?!
They both believe they are saving humanity by promoting the clot shots. It's what is known as modern day idolatry (i.e, the belief in novel pathogenic viruses).

There may be reasons he is taking this stance. Imagine if he constantly came out against the vaccines. It is likely to be a very bad decision for him, jeopardizing his chances of making it back into office. Then where would we be?
The left are already accusing him of crimes re: the vax.
This is why he lost in 2020. He was outplayed by the medical cartel. If he was smart he would have used his bully pulpit to convince people that they were being conned. But you know he's not very smart!
No Turfseer, Trump won. We the people lost in 2020. Our vote, our voice, our right to the peaceful exchange of power.
TDS is strong in this one… and not very bright.
To me this is the more important than all of Trumps cases combined.
He did not mandate it. Every person had a decision to make whether to take it or not. I did not. It was my choice. You need to stop being a victim and take responsibility for the choices you decided…. Granted, they were hard but not impossible.
And despicable Biden initially said it would be be voluntary, before he decided to make it as mandatory as he could legally do, through OSHA.
Okay he did not mandate it which is better than Biden. But he still promotes it and for that there's no excuse.
I keep remembering what 45 has said from the podium many times in the past 4 years, "The radical socialists are really coming after YOU (meaning US) - I just got in the way". After they "destroy" Trump--they will feel their true POWER to come after ANYONE who stands in their way of destroying our Constitutional Republic (what is left of it).
PRAY AS YOU HAVE NEVER PRAYED BEFORE!!
It's a "process" crime: "you filled out this form wrong." Mr Childers has pointed out how going after someone for a process crime when there's no injured party and no damages is itself unique. It's obvious that the point of the trial is to ruin Trump and nothing else. Every argument I've seen in support of it has said "hE bRoKe ThE lAw!!!!!1!" -- ie, hasn't actually been an argument. Every piece of real estate has one and only one true value, that assigned by the tax assessor? Really?! Have you never shopped for a house or a used car?
Exactly! So, the government can manipulate values and change definitions for their benefit but nobody else can? Still…the punishment doesn’t fit the “crime.” And if the state is starting this precedent for Trump, where are all the other lawsuits that they are pursuing for the exact same thing?
Does the state even have the jurisdiction to prosecute such crimes as financial paperwork? Lolololol
Can Trump counter sue for discrimination and prejudice? Based on the fact that the state has never in the past prosecuted such things to this extent, nor are they pursuing ANY other criminals? Nor did they have a reason to pursue charges based on the evidence presented in court that was intentionally and illegally ignored. Maybe Leticia and Engoron’s financial applications for their purchases should be reviewed and scrutinized to the same extent?
Surely they didn’t exaggerate or overvalue anything…
Yes, I'd very much like to see New York City going after every single borrower that stated that their property was worth more than what the tax assessor said. There'd be both mass protests as well as mass abandonment of NYC. There wouldn't be a developer left ... except for friends of the party.
I am a devoted proponent of "laissez-faire" economy - which we now do NOT have in our once great Constitutional Republic.
A very powerful political persecution within a very controlled political environment. Welcome to 21st-century media soiled politics. It's shocking that this is allowed to go on. Then, the Supreme court sock puppet mentions that the 1st amendment restricts government...!!! How did this person graduate law school
Yes, she’s SO DIM she actually said she fears the 1A can «hamstring» a government.
WHAT????
She doesn’t even understand the whole idea of the 1A is that no-one - especially government - can SQUASH free debate, discussion & expression of FREE THOUGHT & OPINION.
She has absolutely NO BUSINESS BEING PART OF THE SCOTUS.
She clearly thinks government should have the right to CENSOR DISSENT.
Back to law school, dimwit.
I thought my head would exploded when I heard that on the radio today. What a DIMWIT! 🤯
What bothers me Astragale & ConcernedGrammy is the fact that she was approved, by both left and right politicians, as competent to be one of nine people to sit on the most complex and potentially life changing courts in the world. We indeed are being governed by idiots.
We truly have a UniParty in DC, each taking turns playing good cop/bad cop. I've watched several of those confirmation hearings. The Republicans call them out with a bunch of mean words and seem to rake them over the coals due to their extreme partisan (or communist/Marxist) prior papers, articles and/or Tweets. The video clips are posted on YT and you think "Wow, NO WAY! What a rotten choice for (whatever)!" But if you go back and check, they all get confirmed anyway! It's absolutely astounding! Every one of them are either arrogantly rude or just plainly stupid and REFUSE to answer any questions or spit out some Kamala-word-salad!! I've watched KBJ, a couple of Federal Judges and the National Archivist, Collen Shogan, who is just a flaming social justice warrior, liberal activist! With that chick keeping our archives, there's no telling what our current "history" will look like in the future. 😕
PS -I didn't even know the "National Archivist" was an presidential appointment and never had any interest in that until I stumbled over those video clips 🤯 (annual salary -$204,000).
Sotomayor is a devoted communist - wasn't she appointed during the Clinton administration--need I say more?
I just researched good ole Sonia--OBAMANATION appointed her--so she is TRULY a communist sympathizer.
I’m guessing if you found “failing up” in the dictionary it would have her picture beside it. She’s the embodiment of “failing up”. The ultimate diversity token. Dumb as a stump but the right color and politics.
The term “post turtle” comes to mind.
Agreed and thanks for bringing this up again. It’s so infuriating that my mind turns red and I forget the rationale since it’s illogical.
Trump's lawyers argued that it is, indeed, not possible to sue him over it for several reasons (but of course the judge didn't agree). Perhaps he will prevail in those arguments on appeal; certainly some of the arguments about government not having standing to intervene in commercial transactions seemed prima-facie strong.
You don't understand NY "justice"--THERE IS NONE! Read some of Marty Armstrong's (the world-renowned economic forecaster) newsletters sharing his totally UNJUST incarceration while working as a hedge fund manager in Manhattan in the 1980's and 1990's. Marty was in a horrid NY jail for over NINE YEARS on a simple "contempt of court" judgment--which was TOTALLY ILLEGAL.
The law does not require someone to file a complaint.
Someone has to file a complaint though it may not have to be an injured party. Of course, this is usually thrown out because of "standing" unless the complainant is the government. In that case they can spend all of that taxpayer money to destroy the individual taxpayer without any repercussions even after they are found to be in the wrong. "For the people" indeed.
Lawfare is turning our judicial system into kangaroo courts and show trials. We must understand the forces behind it and learn how to counter it: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/lawfare-65-project-democracy-docket-marc-elias
Growing up in the 50's and 60's, I am so reminded of the "show trials" of the Soviet Union which we made fun of. Now we have become that which we ridiculed.
I, too, grew up in the '50s and '60s (a kindly-meant correction: the apostrophe belongs where the digits have been left out, as in a contraction ("aren't) and not before the s, which improperly denoted the possessive form). Forgive me; you're far from alone in this mistake!
LOL... I think I have forgotten so much grammar. I love "proper" correction.
Phil, that was the most graceful reply to a public correction I've seen in a long time.
Oh lordy, I don't know why egos can be so sensitive. I appreciate the opportunity to incorporate someone else's insight even if it is a correction. Besides, I love the English language.
I second your comment!!
I tutored remedial English for a decade at the local community college. Here's one of my oft-repeated tidbits: Every sentence must have a subject and a verb. I would scour the students' work to find sentences lacking subject-verb agreement or lack of a subject or verb altogether. The second biggest error was the use of object pronouns in place of subject pronouns, like this: Him and her went to the concert. Nowadays, I am finding that English words are becoming truncated at the end. People are using the word 'bias' as an adjective instead of using the word 'biased'. There seems to be a huge disconnect between spoken English and its written form.
Yes we’re losing the past participle in many cases, it seems 😕 There has always been a disconnect between written and spoken, written lags behind spoken (for good reason) but although I am more of a descriptivist than a prescriptivist, I do lament this particular change because I think it results in less clarity of expression. And don’t get me started about the made up pronouns! People who don’t even understand how language works are tinkering with it and creating huge clarity issues 🙄
This is Maoism.
Straight out of 1984, controlling thought by destroying language.
They did the same after the French Revolution. Changed names of days, months, streets, etc.
Exactly, our rulers are Jacobians.
Anything written in the vernacular of the day confuses all meaning to the modern reader even if that reader is only a single generation removed from the author. There may be a nefarious point to these semantic shifts. Explaining by example, I encourage you to research the etymology of the word "unicorn" which one may find used six times in the King James Version of the Bible.
I just want to see everyone quit using the apostrophe to form a plural. Oh, I might as well shoot for the moon and also wish for subject-verb agreement.
I just want people to stop saying "less" when they mean "fewer." someday I'm going to have a bumper sticker made that says, "Less milk, fewer cookies."
Angers me at most every checkout express line... "10 items or less"
I promise not to mention again how "figuratively" became "literally."
Double, most would just think you're a Grinch and not get it, lol.
My personal "favorite" is when speakers say continue on, which is redundant. Continue means to go on. Makes my ears bleed to hear it.
Were I to pick a grammatical hill on which to rest, I would choose the serial (Oxford) comma.
It's hard to detect in speaking, though.
That brings back memories. My early years of public (state) schooling were spent in Michigan where "progressive education" held sway. We moved to Macon GA in the middle of third grade and my new teacher informed my parents that I did not know how to read because I had been taught the "look-say" method of reading which is a method for teaching the deaf to read. This teaches English as ideograms rather than as a phonetic language. That was "progressive". So my parents hired a retired school teacher to drill me in phonics after school. She was thorough. From that point on, I excelled in English. Prolly explains why kids can't read today.
I had a “professor” who was taught to sight-read. Her spelling was abysmal and unfamiliar words were a constant stumbling block.
Heh. English is such a mixed bag that you kind of need both methods. Phonics for the general case, and then a mental list of "words that are pronounced different from how you'd phonetically expect"...
That's not the same as the "look-say" method which literally handicaps students. That is just becoming familiar with all the complexities of any phonetic language which comes with experience.
Today it’s more common to see subject pronouns improperly used. People seem almost afraid to use objective pronouns. Ex: He gave books to she and I.
And by the way, how did the simple verb "give" turn into "gifted"?
"He gifted me a book."
"The clerk gifted me a withering look when I asked for a paper bag."
(That last one was a small joke--the kind of joke only a battle-hardened prescriptive grammarian would enjoy.)
That gets a 10 on the Cringe Scale.
It speaks to our sad spiritual state that we fear the Lord less than we fear the potential embarrassment of grammatical faux pas.
That is true. I grew up in the backwoods of the Florida Panhandle in the ‘50s. I was a late life child. My daddy had a 5th grade education, not that uncommon to his upbringing. And my extended family spoke an interesting sort of English that the grammar police would have had quite a time with. However, I have no doubt my parents are doing just fine in heaven.
🎯🎯🎯
God bless ya!
ps... Even our beloved author, Jeff, makes similar mistakes... haven't had the nerve to correct him!
I remember getting drilled in grammar in grade school. This was in the deep south, Macon Ga, in the '50s and back in those days - at least in the South - grammar was a very serious subject.
Yes; it seems to have gone by the wayside, as have so many good things.
First of all. Nice photo! And you are looking good! And God Bless you for the comment. It is greatly appreciated and I have been doing it wrong for years. The correction is welcomed. Very much so.
Not teaching grammar, not diagramming sentences is a huge, huge mistake. But I know why this all is being thrown out the window. It's because it makes us look at what parts of speech do, what their function is, and how to logically express coherent strings of thoughts. To wit, the infamous 'they' want to dimmish our capacity to think with clarity.
The comments here have caused me to reflect on the ability to think logically. I was schooled in the logic of English grammar and composition and when I was in college I took courses in both logic and semantics (S.I. Hayakawa). Another venue that teaches logic is mathematics. I initially did not excel at that thanks to the "new math". In home schooling my boys, mathematics (using Saxon math) was always the first subject of the day. By the time they finished high school, they had completed calculus (11th grade) and then the Cal Tech freshman physics textbook "The Mechanical Universe".
I feel sorry for the last couple of generations of school children. Both of these subjects, language and math, have been gutted and the ability of the students to think logically has been destroyed. Nothing good shall come of this.
Oh my gosh! Diagramming sentences! Boy does that bring back memories. That so affects our ability to think logically.
Thanks for the compliment, Dave, and you have perfectly laid out the nefarious plan that precipitated our illiteracy. But by raising these not insignificant issues, we'll not let them win! (I think you mean "diminish"😘)
I didn't know that, but I really appreciate that someone is holding the line. Even the Apostrophe Protection Society has given up. It is like broken windows theory, though, since I am constantly shocked by published text without noun-verb agreement. There's a great t-shirt that I got my friend for Christmas, with a shield and the logo "Grammar Police." You can buy tickets to give out also. All we ever hear about are pronouns, but Stephen King says "The road to hell is paved with adverbs." Now, I hear, one is even allowed to start a sentence with "but."
Apostrophe Protection Society shuts down after 18 years, blaming 'ignorance and laziness'
https://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/as-it-happens-monday-edition-1.5380932/apostrophe-protection-society-shuts-down-after-18-years-blaming-ignorance-and-laziness-1.5380935
Well, when they're teaching the opposite, 'they' as a singular pronoun, to refer to a "non-binary" person, it's hard to even explain singular and plural. (And, as noted by a FB account called, I think, Binary, saying some are non-binary and some are binary is itself dividing people into a binary system, lol.)
Oh, yes, another exasperating class of errors! And Richards is a man after my own heart; didn't know about him and I'm Canadian. But here's another abomination: "the exact same". Ugh. We used to say "exactly the same". Not only grammatically correct but ever so much lovelier to the ear.
I used to have a sign up at my work desk that read "grammar nazi", until I was told to take it down because it might be offensive.
The ones I object most to are things like "could care less", where the speaker is stating precisely the opposite of what they actually mean.
When I home schooled my two boys, I did not use a formal grammar course. Instead, I had them read great literature and gave them a grammar reference book to use when writing their essays. That seemed to work and they picked up proper grammar by reading classical literature.
Phil, that was the core of ours, too, though I did find a year or so's worth of a curriculum that had the student read brief essays or paragraphs and edit them for grammatical corrections. I liked that one.
I homeschooled my daughter, too! She taught herself to read from Archie & Veronica comic books, as well as the wonderful kids' picture books we took from the library. So, you gave your sons a much more highbrow education!
Don’t get me started on ‘less’ and ‘fewer’....!!
Yes!!!!! That one is my topmost annoyance 😤
I wish people would stop making most every plural word with an S have an apostrophe before it!!!!
There is a coffee kiosk chain in my area whose signs proclaim them to be KELLY LATTE'S. I don't care how good their lattes are, I refuse to give money to a flagrantly illiterate company. If they have no idea how to wield an apostrophe I can't trust them to properly use an espresso maker. My husband thinks I'm being too judgmental but a woman has to have standards.
🤣 🎯
Apostrophes need to be properly welded.
😄
Spellcheck does it, and if you aren't watching carefully, it can appear that even we who know better, don't.
I see it on signs!
I spent many years proofreading documents and I can always tell when someone used Spellcheck but did not actually proofread their document, email, article, menu, sign, etc., ad nauseam. It drives me nuts; it is like an itch in the brain that just cannot be scratched.
Mrs. "the Knife"
Good point, and that's why I never use spell check!
"Tow the line" instead of "Toe the line." That's another one where spell check won't save you.
One of my pet peeves!
"Boarders," as of the country, vs. borders.
Unfortunately, those invading our borders have become "boarders" that we the tax payers will be footing the bill for the foreseeable future😥
Unfortunately, those invading our borders have become "boarders" that we the tax payers will be footing the bill for the foreseeable future😥
✅
Yeah, that one is kind of basic.
But so misused. I guess they aren’t learning grammar in school.
They do not even learn to read or write cursive any longer. Their signatures are printed.
They've recently started teaching cursive here again! Yay! 👏
Ugh that drives me crazy too!!
Exactly!!! 🎯
Joanie, what a kindly made correction! Corrections usually carry an air of superiority, hence the term ‘grammar Nazi’. But yours was so sweetly made that it was a genuinely helpful comment. Thank you! I’ve made the same mistake that Phil did, and will certainly try to remember the correct use of apostrophes.
Thanks, Freebird. I learned that the hard way: years ago, my thesis supervisor so snidely corrected me, that I know how it feels to be treated like trailer trash for an innocent mistake. But it stuck with me!
Joanie, I used to correct my employees' grammar on draft memos they submitted for my review before distribution. One time, a memo came by and needed no corrections at all. I put a sticky note on it, saying, "Good job!" I heard through the grapevine that the employee showed it around, saying, "Look! No corrections!" Lol.
Great anecdote! 😊
Joanie, I wish you were my neighbor. You're a handy person to have around.
Aw, thanks! Thinking of doing a post on the most annoyingly common grammatical crimes of the day...
"Could care less" when what is meant is "Couldn't care less." As a grammar Nazi myself I am in awe of your ability to stay civil in the face of misused apostrophes.
Interestingly, although we're all sort of off topic, I find myself to be amazed whenever I hear the phrase, 'I could care less', meaning that actually they do care somewhat and there's room for even less 'care'. Whatever happened to the phrase 'Couldn't care less'? Sort of like the misuse of 'begs the question'.
Yes!!!!
I think more of us grammar Nazis need to speak up!
I have daydreams about a chalkboard and grammar lessons. And spelling lessons. It’s a daily struggle… Lol
😉 👍🏼
A novel political party: Grammar Nazis for Good Syntax & Good Government.
🤣 👍🏼
“Very rare”; “but, nonetheless…”
People are sadly illiterate.
Could of, should of, would of! Might as well spill hot coffee in my lap.
OMG yes!!!! Thank you, and I'm gratified that my original comment here has garnered so much passionate agreement!
Leave it to C&Cers to have an extended comment thread on grammar, lol!
🤜 You said it!
There's so little we can control in our thoroughly corrputed world; grammar is like a "last stand" for civility.
I need these tangents to remind me we are caring, kind people with big hearts.
Also: "based off of" instead of "based on"!!!
And lead (that’s a metal, thank you) being used as the past tense of lead instead of led
! and "loose" when they mean "lose"...
and etc etc etc etc..... I share your daily struggle!
Actually, it is supposed to be: could have, should have, would have.
Sorry - I couldn't help myself. ;-)
Woulda, coulda, shoulda!
"He's not that good of a teacher." It makes me want to stay indoors for the rest of my life.
Joanie, would you write every news station in the country and tell them ‘had’ is used incorrectly? Please? “Joe Smith had his car broken into this weekend”. What, did he pay someone to break into his car?
I’m sure I make many sentence structure mistakes, but this one makes me crazy.
Oh, I love it!!! Talk about victim-blaming! 🤣
🤣
I had an online argument about 2A and "the right to bare arms". I corrected them, it's "the right to bear arms". Someone else said, "No, "bare" is correct. Bear is a grizzly!" 🥴 I directed them to the original document and also the dictionary explanation (which actually helped me!)
Merriam-Webster
"In cases where you are referring to the state of being uncovered or naked the word you want is bare: “bare necessities,” “bare essentials,” “bare legs,” “bare bones,” “bare-knuckle,” and so on. **The verb bare has only one meaning: “to uncover.”** All other verb uses are for bear: “bearing children,” “bear south on the expressway,” “it bears repeating.” Bear is the only one of this pair that can also be a noun."
its and it's
and Cousin Itts for you '50s and '60s vintage people, like me (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cousin_Itt)
And that is such an anomaly (its and it's), isn't it? Because normally the apostrophe correctly denotes the possessive . But no, here it's reserved to mean 'it is'.
Ha ha to Cousin Itts!!
The apostrophe does double-duty: in contractions as well as possessives. English grammar is complicated indeed! Glad you enjoyed the Cousin Itt reference. Itt’s funny.
Even in grammar, it's the exceptions that makes life interesting.
So very true!
But for pronoun forms like his, hers and theirs, there are no apostrophes, so “its” fits right in.
True, that.
My sister taught college English. At the start of each semester she wrote on the chalkboard:
IT'S means "IT IS"
IT never means anything else.
Did you ever read the book “Eats, shoots and leaves”?!
I certainly know of it, but can't recall if I've read it or not. But it's exactly what we're talking about, for sure.
Second the motion! Always good to have an exacting mind around to keep us on our toes!
Thanks for the re-education, the type of re-education I like.
Oh, wait! Did I do that hyphen right? Pray tell...
Grammar was already difficult to learn, harder to remember multiple decades later. And on top of that, we have the misgendering b.s. which foobars most of the rules. Sigh...
Punctuation’s important too.
Consider the difference between “extra marital sex” and
“extra-marital sex” !
Oh, another English teacher…after my heart!
Only a self-appointed one!
OMG! The comments in this thread are hilarious. The Grammar Police. The Apostrophe Police. Professor Adverb. I gave up a long time ago when my grandchildren began texting me JK, LOL, OMG, ROTFLOL, etc. Heck, they cannot read or write in cursive and did not even know what the word cursive meant.

Every time I hear someone say something like "communism was never really tried" I wonder if they are aware of the USSR's existence. Humanity has seen all this before and it wasn't pretty then, either. And it didn't end well, for anyone.
You know, after the fall of the Soviet Union, communism was totally discredited for a WHOLE two seconds.
I agree that society has forgotten how communism was such a disaster.
I think it took about 20 years for the collapse of the Soviet Union to be forgotten - those in college today were born 10-15 years afterwards.
Not forgotten, at least not by college professors; erased, for a reason.
Why is that, though? Why can't people give this addiction up? The Marxist mind virus. The "it's never been tried." (Even a commenter here at C&C threw this trope out.) I get why leaders like it: unlimited power and wealth is pretty compelling. But how can anyone think top-down micromanagement of everyone's lives and livelihoods is somehow a good thing in 2024? Do people not realize it means you don't get to pick what you do for a living? Do college professors really think they will be given a seat at the table of power? Sorry to derail. This just blows my mind.
RU, it must be a mix of things, right? Examples:
- The 'natural slaves,' who want, or even need, someone else to run their lives.
- The useful fools who haven't studied real history and think that, yes, they will be given a seat at the table of power.
- People like the Chinese physician I met at a conference: she said she didn't realize she lived in a totalitarian state until after her medical training was completed and she wanted to live in the same city as her parents and boyfriend/future husband, but wasn't allowed to. (They did marry and managed to emigrate legally. When we met, they lived in Maryland and she was a representative for a medical device or drug company, can't remember which, and she sold to China, of course, traveling there frequently.)
- Finally, the takeover of education by government, using the Prussian top-down model, which facilitated the spread of the regressive Progressive assertion that in these modern times we need new systems, not like that old, dusty Constitution, and we need experts to tell us what to do and how to do it, because life is complex and sciency. I see this last assertion in various forms all the time, now that I'm aware of it. I think a lot of people have absorbed it without realizing it. It might be why so many rolled over immediately when told to do ridiculous things for Covid.
Great points. There have always been people who think they know better and should have the power to dictate how everyone else should live. The names of the “superior groups” just change. But the idea is always the same.
Good points. Thanks for sharing. Related to that last one is this other idea I hear/perceive. Not only are things complicated and science-y (and "nuanced" - man do they like that word), people today are seen as better or smarter. Like: yeah, those people back then failed when they tried this thing, but we'll do it right this time b/c we're smarter than they were.
Putting aside the obvious truth that, in general, people are less smart now by any meaningful measure, the issue with the Marxist systems is that they run counter to human nature, which hasn't changed at all.
I also wonder what makes people think it would be good to have no one poor or hungry? Like shame, those seem to serve an important function in society. Decouple outcomes from actions and you get nihilism and apathy.
IDK, it's all so easy to see through and yet so many can't seem to do it. I'm kind of done being polite and putting up with it when people start talking about it, though. Seems to be a moral imperative at this point.
Yes, I've been calling it the "*we're* here now" problem. And you're right, it won't serve us well to 'polite' our way into slavery.
Marxism is always supported by the "intelligentsia" but after the revolution, they are the first ones to be "disappeared".
🎯🎯🎯
You're not "derailing." You're laying out the truth.
Yes.... erased.
Political Phil, As I was reading your comment, I expected to see that the fall of the Soviet Union had something to do with punctuation or grammar. I did find this--the only mark Russian punctuation lacks is an apostrophe.
Ah hah: Apostrophes and the Fall of the Soviet Union.
actually I think we are fast changing to a banana republic with a kangaroo court system
Now could this be mixed geo-metaphors?
Exactly.
Dems hate Trump?
Try to jail him for 700 years.
It’s absolutely shameful.
Is Chinese communism somehow different? I mean, currently Russia is considered communist. If Russia is communist, what is China?
If by communism you mean Marxism, I do not believe either country is communist anymore. China is simply a totalitarian government run by a bunch of elite thugs (whose days are numbered). They are communist in name only. Russia is a post-Marxist society and they have no intention of going back to that misery by either the leadership or the people. Communism died with the fall of the Politburo.
The US has LONG ceased to be a republic in spite of some insistence that we are a republic. America has been taken over by a combination of Maoist Marxism and Nazism (which is also a form of Marxism). In spite of appearances, the law of the land is not the Constitution. All of the law-fare surrounding that is but a distraction from the reality of the Marxist tyranny we now live under. The last vestiges of the Republic disappeared in 1913 with the creation of the Federal Reserve which was the enslavement of all Americans to the international banking system. The "law of the land" in America is the United States Code (USC) - not the US Constitution. The Constitution has been superseded by the USC. The United States Government is not a republic. The USG is now a corporation and the USC is the law of the land and the American people are the "assets" of the corporation who they have mortgaged to the international banking system through the privately owned Federal Reserve.
All of the appeals to the Bill of Rights in the Constitution are simply distractions to keep us ignorant. The appeals themselves are false. These appeals are made in terms of the Constitution giving us certain rights. Wrong! The Government cannot grant rights because rights are INALIENABLE - or better yet, unalienable. Our rights are inherent in our Creation and are unalienable because they are rights given to us by God. All the Bill of Rights does, back when the Constitution meant something, was to emphasize that the Government was not to infringe upon these rights and that list is not exhaustive of all the rights God gives us.
There are others on this forum who can chime in here with better content than I can provide should they chose.
Speaking of the Federal Reserve....
Chad Champion: Since the founding of the Federal Reserve in 1913, the U.S. has lived through 3,000 percent inflation. A dollar equivalent back then is worth about 3.2 cents today!
https://www.bonnerprivateresearch.com/p/decline-and-fall-a43
Which is to say, the international banking cartel has stolen 96.8% of the productivity of all Americans since 1913.
Well stated…all correct!
And now Russia ridicules us.
Yes indeed.
I dig your work. Phenomenal exchange with fellow Tennessean TJ Harker.
Thanks, Yuri. I hope its not too late...
Yep. Most people just give up and back down. At this point, Trump fighting these lawfare abominations is effectively him fighting these things in our place. Because if he loses these, we can be assured we will all eventually be hit with similar when we cross the PTB.
He has said that. They are coming after us.
That's why Trump's arrest and mugshot made waves in the black community: If they can do it too HIM, they can do it to us! Greatly increased his support base.
They're making a martyr out of him. Normal people can see pretty clearly - if they do it to him, they can do it to me. The injustice is so obvious. Watch his entrance to a recent UFC match. He gets an ovation like he's one of the fighters. Which, I suppose he is.
Well, it was a process crime, so that's appropriate. It occurred to me last week that "straining out a gnat and swallowing a camel" is a good description of what Smirking Judge Engoron did.
Excellent observation. 👏🏻
Seems the system is rigged beyond repair…. Maybe all constitutional lawyers should unite like the European farmers, expose this overt destruction of our republic and it’s designed to steal no actual voting system… we need impenetrable legal warriors at this point… https://open.substack.com/pub/yuribezmenov/p/lawfare-65-project-democracy-docket-marc-elias?r=697d8&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&comments=true
Your mistake is thinking even two lawyers could unite and agree on anything
Lawyers get together all the time! It is naive to think they don't. Making these trumped up cases so complex is the problem with all our institutions! I am just hoping others realize and wake up to the value of simplicity.
All the layers in our reality are not helpful. They slow everything down. Flip the switch on the thinking that man knows better than God. God's given cures and bodily design far out weighs man's greed and stupidity towards humanity and our planet. What man has done cannot continue.
We cry for clean food, air and water. We cry for all wars and sacrifices to stop! We cry for lives filled with compassion and intention to make each and every man, woman and child realize their importance and purpose. This does not happen when the evil wins and it wins when we get depressed, ungrateful and lack joy despite circumstances. So rise up and put on that happy face and be thankful for every little thing. Realize how favored you have been! The more we stay into the now, just today, the more we negate past and future worries!
I am thankful today the sky is blue in Jacksonville.
Thank you for those last words reminding me that I am lacking joy. I’ve felt depressed and began to wallow in it. Time for change, I have so much to be grateful for and, though it’s depressingly snowy weather here, and other things are taking me down, I know I can find that joy. Also, is Trump not an inspiration for the downtrodden? Thanks again, Jaci.
You are most welcome! I sincerely feel we need to give hope and help in any way we can. What we have been living through has not been easy! If you are a spiritual person, find Jared Rand on Rumble or Youtube. I have been listening to him layer new truths and move me out of the unquestioning top down teaching of religion! 👍💕
Thank you, Jaci. I really appreciate your words. I consider myself to be a spiritual person…daily prayers, etc. I am on Rumble and will look for Jared Rand. New inspiration from recommended sources can be most valuable and I am truly thankful for this referral. Have a lovely week! Are you soft ‘c’ Jaci, or a hard ‘k’ in your name pronunciation, please?
Jackie...short for Jacqueline! My older brother was John...Jackie...a girl can't spell her name the same as a boy! Let me know your thoughts about Jared. I signed up for your Substack!
Would love to keep in touch!
Thank you. I understand and have a sweet niece with the same name as you. I will be listening to Jared tomorrow so, yes, I’ll let you know. I have to admit that my substack is blank because I really don’t have the time it takes to get started. I love writing but I’m more interested in what others have to say and so I read voraciously. 😍
It's been a beautiful week in Miami - weather has been perfect!
Jaci, what about our Revolution War? and at dusk doesn’t your sky at times turn orange?
Well it terrifies me to think that we are now down to putting all of our hedged bets on the undervalued (and overly populated with shites) backs of LAWYERS of all things. But looking at how badly we all have underestimated the evil that lurks in the medical field I am starting to realize that every "profession" is very much populated with an over abundance of shites with some really good and smart folks peppered in there. We are all praying for these good men and women to PLEASE for the love of God take the reins! And ffs please stop the elevation/devaluation of ANY group--(e.g. most/least trusted professions)--since they are ALL human there will always be bad eggs in there and often nowadays as part of the educational / indoctrination system they are weeding out the good ones as much as possible looking ONLY for followers and disallowing those who think independently. Bill Rice wrote a good article about this last week I will link below. Have a great day all! (OH--and I certainly do not mean to disparage lawyers and I will likely feel bad the next time I tell a lawyer joke--but keep in mind I still love a good blonde joke and have been sporting the haircolor all my life so...)

I used to be so proud, as a pharmacist, that our group was the "most trusted" professional. Then we were edged out by nurses. Then nurses started doing TicToc dances in empty hospitals and pharmacists started bullying patients into jabs and such and now it's all just each man for himself. No solidarity.
Me too. But honestly wasn't the first thing you learned as a pharmacist that there are some seriously stupid doctors (and pharmacists) out there? Should have been our first clue. ;P
Well, lawyers ghost write the laws (as lobbyists) and are rubber stamped by the lawyers that are the large majority of Congress. Which is why the laws are often so vague...
Thank you. I prayed, dear God, help us, when I read about Covid protocols still being mandated…too many bad eggs in charge!
There is that sticking point.
LOL... Even if not serious that is a hilarious bit of satire!
Amen.
lets take a lesson from the Bard: "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers", and since every rule must have its exception, let's keep Jeff. Then, once common sense kicks in, I think the system will correct itself
Context: This famous Shakespeare quote from King Henry IV Part 2 has been taken out of context for 400 years. From Olivia Rutigliano on Lit Hub recently:
DICK: The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.
Dick is a villainous character—he is a large, threatening murderer, and he is also the right-hand-man of Jack Cade, who is leading a rebellion against King Henry. Cade and Dick are aggressively anti-intellectual; they kill anyone who can read and burn all the books and documents they encounter. They know that they’ll be able to take over an ignorant population with greater ease than one where everyone understands their rights.
It’s systemic & by design, I think: 1st all procedural/medical norms went out the window to damage the population so now the rule of law
It is bt design and it started in earnest with Obama. Replace the word "Russian" with "US Govt" and it's a clear message.

I thought she was a Soros appointee, ie she'd fight for Soros' goals
Who would've thought the 1A was "hamstringing" the government? LOL. How did this lady get on the Supreme Court? The entire point of the Amendments is to hamstring the government. Or, rather, to limit what it can do to us. Affirmative action on full display with that midwit. I can't see how the rest of them could lean in the same direction. It's so incredibly wrong an interpretation. (Then again, so is claiming there is a right to abortion hidden somewhere in the Constitution.)
Well, though I am anti-abortion because the person being aborted has rights, too, a right does not need to be written down to exist - "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." (Ninth Amendment)
Rights given by God are inalienable; they can't be changed or taken away ("among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness"). The unborn child has those rights from the moment of conception.
Jeremiah 1:5: “I knew you before I formed you in your mother's womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.”
Who could have the temerity to destroy what God is in the process of forming?
That's why they try to blur "when life begins" and call a fetus just a "clump of cells". 😡
Right . . . exactly as we all were in the beginning.
I always say, why don’t we have a clump of cells shower or a fetus shower instead of a baby shower if that’s all it is?
Thank you for making that point!
Is there any way to recall or impeach a Supreme Court judge? Clearly KBJ has no clue that the Constitution limits the power of the government, not the People. She has no business being a judge, let alone on the SC.
Yes, it's the same process as with impeaching the president.
Thanks. Now to find a Congress with the you-know-whats to do it.
Different problem, different country.
Yes. That is the crux. Will the judicial system of this country survive
John ... in short, Alice in Wonderland, Humpty Dumpty and Clown World, all tied with a neat bow by the Queen 'of with there heads' of Hearts. This whole world is watching and that is what they see. And those who are pushing on the string little care, if they even think, of the consequences of their actions. Their only singular goal is to bring in the hybrid Marxist Revolution ... and liquidate anyone in their way.
yes, I was so glad to leave there and return home to dear old England, although these days the NHS is in league with the Queen of Hearts, sorry to say ~
I think about England but have no real feel for it. However, from films and from people of my Dad's generation, and with the passages of time, I think that England must have been are real terrific place ... at least up until the end of the 1950s. In the sixties, as with here in the states, everything went to Hell with the Mods, the Hippies and so on. And after that, Hell never stop to look back. Just kept right on going. And here we are!
In 1959, my Dad took us to Bermuda which was named after one Juan de Bermúdez, who discovered the archipelago in 1505. We stayed in the St. George Hotel in St. George, which I believe is long gone. I loved the place, and particularly the British tone.
We now are under the worst Evil in the most expansive way. We have nothing left to us now but to dig out. And this is how bad it really is. just some minutes of the talk is enough.

David Martin, one of the leaders of the pack of hero/warriors who have emerged, in my view. Thank you for this.
You are welcome. And yes, for me too. And what an exquisite man in all respects. it is a delight to see and hear such. Especially these in these contemporary times.
The '50s and '60s is when Tavistock Institute really got going.
I know! Lot's of things. Amazing astonishing stuff like that which came out of Laurel Canyon in California.
They've done a number on us!
The '50s and '60s is when Tavistock Institute really got going.
JCM, what you said, but applied to medicine, public health, and science, for me.
... entertainment (including professional and college sports), academia, Big Finance, ... .
Exactly. A disorienting way to realize true orientation, perhaps.
With all due respect, sir, isn't this the end goal of all of these lawsuits and the corruption we are witnessing in the courts... to so destroy the very rule of law, the constitution, and how our country runs? So that we can then be enslaved by a few global thugs who will tell the taxpayers how they can live? POWER at any and all costs. Once again, think SOROS!
Yes indeed senor JCM. Doesn't it look like the original intent of the rule of law is gone?
It looks that way doesn't it?
How are these obvious infiltraitors removed when they have taken the system over?
How is the NY real estate case not in violation of the 8th amendment? Not victims no loss etc but a 450 million fine? Tibbs vs Indiana decided in 2019 over the state attempting to seize a 40,000 vehicle from a drug dealer was overturned by the US Supreme Court 9-0 as excessive fine because the state maximum statutory fine was $10,000 for the crime the defendant was guilty of.
I’m no expert or lawyer but it appears the problem is getting it out of NY courts and up to the federal level.
The job of every government prosecutor and judge is to seek out the truth of a matter and administer justice. It is not to purposely harm people. Prosecutor James made it very clear when she ran for her position she wanted to “get Trump.” Even if Trump did commit a crime or civil offense, the punishment, the judge’s ruling, is an outright violation of the Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution: “Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.” This is so blatantly obvious the Supreme Court should immediately intercede or be derelict in their sworn duty to support the Constitution. If this outright corrupt nonsense is allowed to continue at some point all manner of civility will be destroyed and nobody will be safe!
But NY believes it is not bound by the constitution. All them libs feel they can do whatever they want. Pretty soon they will do away with the electoral college to give their states even more power
They are working on that too. Common Cause and other Soros orgs are pushing hard to eliminate the electoral college. They are arguing it's for "democracy". They are clearly doing it so that large cities like NY, Chicago, etc. can dominate national elections. The electoral college's elegant design is to protect the country from urban concentrations of population. Thomas Jefferson: "I view great cities as pestilential to the morals, the health, and liberties of man."
And Thomas Jefferson didn’t even know the likes of firetrucking Soros and the uber rich liberals that think they can own us
Why do you think they're taking and keeping all those illegals? This is their end run around the Electoral College, running up their numbers of EC votes. They're bound and determined to destroy us.
I believe that has been the plan of action for many decades now.
And doing a good job of it, I might add.
We're in a war for our very survival as free people. One side is fighting with every means at their disposal without a thought to legality, ethics or morality.
Our side seems content to comment on the destruction.
The United States Constitution is the supreme law of the entire country. Any law, regulation, judicial ruling or executive order not in pursuance of the Constitution is not with standing, or in other words illegal, not obligatory to be obeyed.
agree, but tell that to the kooky lefties who will not apply any law THEY don't agree with
Most of the state Constitutions are very similar to the U.S. one. Many additions, but I think the core is quite similar. So likely the NY state Constitution has an 8th amendment almost identical.
The problem is you can use the process to bankrupt defendants if you misapply the law maliciously. Lawyers are not free or cheap if you want to win.
Look out Peter! The C&C Grammar Police is out in full force today and will cite you for using a BUT at the beginning of a sentence. JK LOL!
In an informal setting like this, I point out bad grammar only when I don't like what was said.
shiver me timbers!
The United States Constitution is the supreme law of all the states and law, regulation, judicial ruling
Two MAJOR differences: he was a white man… we are talking about a black woman
I’m surprised that they didn’t try and get the case in another county, not that there are friendly conservative county’s in NY.
NY state? There certainly are friendly conservative counties there!
So where are the NY appellate courts? Are they in the back pocket of the AG too?
Again as I understand it the bond has to be posted before you can appeal. Catch 22. That’s the whole issue here
Trump's 5000 page entry was to the Appeals court. The "judgement"/bond is so punitive as to deprive him his right to appeal, so they appealed it!
You are correct.
The process is the punishment. Once all his wealth is taken, they can say woops, sorry.
Maybe in this case the judge decided for himself what the fine should be in order to punish the defendant since he knew there was nothing else he could legally do? If the properties are worth as much, why not sell them to pay my fine and keep my constituents happy - two birds one stone: kill you, grab your properties.
Cruel and UNUSUAL!!!
And the 14th?
The psyops is working. My 85 year old father admitted to me over the weekend, unsolicited, that the government hates us and that there was no reason for us to get involved in the Vietnam War, Afghanistan and all other recent military operations. Everything happening right now is even waking up my elderly father.
THIS! My 84 yr old father, with whom I argued, debated and cried over the Covid debauchery, finally admitted the other day that it was very disturbing to have to acknowledge one can't trust one's own government. He was so disillusioned. I know I felt the same way when Covid opened my eyes. (Side note: he finally came to that conclusion after reading documentation of the many lies from a judicial watch group. Believe me? Never!) I'm just thankful our family was able to recover from the trauma of being on opposite sides for so long.
In my family, it is our children, as well as my FIL, 86, who are blind. I prayerfully await what has happened for you and Alison Smith. We seem to now be able to talk, but NOT about cvd or, until this morning, about the govt. This morning our son sent a meme about tiktok and the govt's desire to censor it. I am not a fan, but I AM a fan of my son's eyes opening. Praying for my family, and everyone's, to see what is actually happening. PS, I, too, am completely disillusioned. I used to think American was flawed, but generally stood for what was right....not anymore.
How’s it feel to find out at about 45 years (23 years ago) that we are the black hats. Not we, the people, but them, the government? At this stage in my life, I’m prepared to give my life in defense of freedom here, on our shores, against our own corrupt government.
So there is hope for my son too? Thank you!! 😅
Yes, always hope.
hope and prayer
But we still can’t talk about Covid!! 😂 It all came about because he asked who I was voting g for in the primaries and then the conversation evolved from there.
Interesting! Praying for your son's eyes to open fully! Wish i could see the meme. could you try to describe it? I do enjoy Tik Tok. I find it very entertaining and uplifting. I can see why today's youth rely on it. It is not a downer like facebook or twitter, although I have those also for different purposes.
Please don’t. The CCP is using it to spy on us. Through the app they trace your phone and movements. God help us if video too to watch.
I will never watch TikTok on my phone for this.
I don't have an account, just watch select comedy breaks that come up on my fb. Does that do the same harm? I always figure that I'm being spied on every time I pick up my phone anyways. ..
US govt does the exact same thing through Facebag. Originally, it was a program called LifeLog and was 'scrapped' by DARPA.
With tens of millions of people watching every single moment of every single day, yeah, they came up with a good algorithm. The commercial value has to be in the multiple billions. To some extent I think it's too late but anything that hinders the commie chicoms is good with me. Divestiture will be tricky.
yes, it is one of those split screen, top and bottom. On the top 2 girls with the caption: US Citizens...Um, whatcha got there?
On the bottom, a guy and an ostrich in a restaurant (don't ask me!!!), and it says: US GOVERNMENT and "bill allowing them to access/censor/ shut off all of your data and devices connected to the internet without your knowledge. And underneath that, A TIKTOK BAN. Looks like it is by whydidisavethistomyphone March 30 2023 with the hashtags: censorship, unconstitutional, free speech, first amendment, big brother, dystopian. As an asid3e, it is much harder to describe than I thought it would be!!
And, thank you for the prayers, Lyndsay!
It's wonderful when God's truth is revealed. People heal!
As Mark Twain said: "it is easier to fool someone than to convince him he's been fooled". (I think I got that right)
I agree. I’m so thankful my brother felt exactly the same way as me. It seemed like everyone else I was around were lock-stepped into plague frenzy.
Kim, you are lucky, my 90ish folks are lifelong conservatives and never really believed the hoax but their doc made them take the two shots plus a booster. My brother, his wife and two grown kids are covid maniacs. But, now he’s had a pre-Christmas heart attack and she has turbo basal cell skin cancer and they’re testing for Parkinson’s or dementia.
Makes me sad and mad all at the same time. 100% sure they won’t look at FLCCC or explore any alternative options. (Brother is 69 and she’s 66ish).
Yep. Watching my life-long bff struggling with weird health issues after she took 1J&J + 4pfizer 💉after she’d already had covid. On the advice of her MD.
I’m convinced she has only survived because she was already taking HCQ for arthritis.
Lucky you, only my adult daughter saw things the same way and she lives out of town. It was a very lonely time for us.
My 86 yr old mother, author of many books and with an Ivy League masters in journalism (one of the first women) will not hear any of it. She laps up the NYT and CNN all day long. She can still finish the NYT crossword most days, but it’s so sad to hear her parrot the narrative, day after day.
Take heart! He likely never reads and considers the judicial watch group information if you don't plant the seed.
Some of my family members would ask my medical advice during and after medical school, but virtually never took it, lol. But "no prophet is accepted in his hometown."
"23Jesus said to them, “Surely you will quote this proverb to Me: ‘Physician, heal yourself! Do here in Your hometown what we have heard that You did in Capernaum.’ ”
24Then He added, “Truly I tell you, no prophet is accepted in his hometown." (Luke)
What was that judicial watch group and documentation that he looked upon?
www.judicial watch.org
Tom is doing the work Congress should be doing! I’d love to see Tom as speaker if the House.
Tom Fitton, Speaker of the House! Yes.
Or - how about Tom Fitton, Vice President??
Tom Fitton and his extremely tight shirts?
He's pretty bulked up. Weightlifters often look like it's a problem with the shirt.
My own personal thought that is he uses weightlifting as a stress release and for the past 10 years his stress has been a heavy load therefore his muscle mass has increased considerably. He should still buy shirts that fit properly.
As long as he brings great lawsuits, I don't care about his clothing-suits.
Same!!
I asked my Daddy about it today. He can't find his copy. It could have been Judicial Watch or maybe Alliance Defending Freedom. I wish we could remember.
I’m 81. Wonder why it took these guys so long. I figured all this out years ago. My first lesson was when I was discharged from the army in 1967 in Germany and we were told not wear our uniforms going on airplanes or in airports because soldiers were being attacked and spit on. Later in the year I went back to college in California to finish the last semester for my BA and learned to hate liberals. Oh yeah, I grew up in typical democrat Jewish home. I kept the Jewish part.
It seems some people's identity is wrap up with their political beliefs and cannot examine their beliefs critically. We see this especially with woke liberals but also with lifetime "conservatives".
Others like yourself, have acquired wisdom from your years, meaning you had the ability to learn.
When people say we should have not gotten into WWII (or WWI for that matter) then I will know they are truly awake.
Amen. War is a racket to make the world safe for big corporations as Smedley Butler once said.
Thank you for mentioning Smedley Butler. I have tried to reference his book and the things he said but I could not remember his name to prove it. You have solved that problem for me. So again, THANK YOU !!!
War is a racket, something like that...
I wish my sister would wake up. She’s always sighting the NYTIMES. I sent her John Leakes SS from yesterday and I don’t think she even read it. All she could say is “McCullough has been “debunked😵💫. He made incorrect comments during Covid” I pressed for specific examples of where his Covid statements were wrong. I’m still waiting to hear exactly what those were. She’s completely nuts. And now I have to go power walk to clear my head!
And I am thinking McCullough is mild. I can only imagine what Dr. David Martin would do your sister's mind. It would be a total Snow Flake melt down.
Permanent Neutrality In An Era Of Biological Weapons-For-Hire - Dr. David E. Martin
https://rumble.com/v3qo9pd-permanent-neutrality-in-an-era-of-biological-weapons-for-hire-dr.-david-e.-.html
This link was posted yesterday by Political Phil. I am about half way through it and I am off the edge of my chair. Powerful stuff. Just a few minutes into where Martin begins to speak, and you will be hooked.
Yeah, "Bow Tie Guy" does not mince words. And I love it!
You could reply, "Maybe he said something wrong. But MSM and the gov't said EVERYTHING wrong. And McCullough treated and saved thousands of patients with fewer than a dozen deaths. Home many did NYT save?"
I can hardly bear it when people say that Andy Wakefield's contributions "have been debunked." I think that word is one of the worst and most powerful buzzwords; also, that only the hynotised use it. People who are awake, conscious,and aware will express their perspective differently, they will not just grab a label---"DEBUNKED!"---to slap onto something they're unwilling to give (heaven forbid!) their very own personal thought to.
That word is nonsense. I once asked what was the opposite of “debunked”. Is it “bunked”? Also, the root is “bunk” which I use as a sanitized form of BS. If something is de-BS-ed, then it is proven to be true. 😜
lol ... agree. A highly bogus word. I looked in my Webster's New International Dictionary, second edition, unabridged ~ Noah has never steered me wrong. It says that "debunk" is a transitive verb meaning "To divest of 'bunk.'" Then, in italics, "Slang. U.S." Also, that the noun is "debunkment," an irresistible word new to me which I may have to start using, to aid me in better attacking those misinformers who falsely claim to be virtuously and in good faith doing it. :) What bunk they do spout!
Excellent! I will test the rule “use a word three times” to make “debunkment” mine. Thank you!
My mom, of blessed memory, thought our country could do no wrong until she too woke up around 8 years ago..very sadly.
Waking up! Yay!
Very interesting legal analyses! Another key reason I tune in to C&C more than any other substack.
All this lawfare does show the little guy has no chance when they can overwhelm you with legal assaults for which you could never afford a defense.
If it was not for Jeff, all of this stuff would be so far over my head. It still is for the most part, but he makes it understandable for those who a deficient in understanding anything legal, like me.
Law should be understandable by the average person!
Lawyers write the laws. And they keep the profession economically strong by making it complicated. As always, conflict of interests everywhere.
It was originally designed that way, and there is a very famous quote I can’t think of by whom, except to say exactly what you said.
Nice to know! Thank you! I just want simple. That includes cars, light bulbs, washing machines...you cant even make an appointment without having to log onto s portal....oh well, I think the worst is integrated voice response customer "service"!
I would like congress to pass legislation ordering that the state pay for all legal fees accrued by a defendant where the state is the plaintiff, regardless of the costs involved, if the defense prevails.
No person should suffer jeopardy when the state falsely accuses them of a civil or criminal misdeed.
"Loser pays."
That would solve a huge % of the legal tussles in the US.
I would go a couple steps further. All legal fees, all related expenses (like hotels for trial venues), damages to reputation, etc. And add a multiplier - any prosecutor found guilty of malicious prosecution is subject to the same penalties as the accused.
So, in this case, the pasty judge would be liable for $400+ million if it were overturned. That would stop that crap right there.
I like that!
And juries in malicious prosecutions have to share the financial pain.
Everyone in the judicial system needs some skin in the game to prevent false prosecutions..
Unfortunately,they have a 99% conviction rate due to their bottomless resources paid by us and the deference shown the govt by overly trusting or corrupt judges, especially in DC. It's a sick, abusive relationship.
So level the playing field.
Look at GA and the guilty pleas Fanny got. None of them could afford a strong defense, and the prosecution knew it.
Totally unfair.
Give the indicted a fighting chance. It's the American way, even if gubmint needs to pay for it.
Then, when it's time for re-election, or not, voters could perhaps consider how much a prosecutor has cost them in lost cases.
At minimum, a public annual report card of the cost/benefit.
Of course, I'd like this on ALL federal/state/local employees, top to bottom.
Ooh I like the report card idea!
Yea but doesn’t that mean the tax payers would pay? No thank you
We pay out for things like Ukraine, Illegal Immigrants to invade our country, lifelong pensions for politicians that have been in office their entire lives, abortions, endless government agencies that do nothing but restrict the lives of the taxpayers,
and I could go on and on. We never get a say in how our tax dollars are spent and there is no accountability in government spending. The Ethics Commission is one of the biggest farces of all time.
Taxpayers pay for malicious prosecutions, too.
You OK with that?
I don’t have control
over prosecutions. But I certainly don’t want to oay for someones defense when they are guilty. Too difficult sorting it out. So no thank you. I’d rather donate to someone’s legal defense fund if so moved.
If they lose, they pay.
Someone who knows they are guilty won't mount an all-in defense if they know they will have to pay if they lose.
"Loser Pays" will reign in some evil prosecutors, especially if the new law builds in sanctions for the state actor who brings malicious prosecutions.
Otherwise, the Jack Smiths, Leticia James, Fanny Willis', and Judge Edgeron's of the progosphere will continue their Bolshevik show trials without retribution.
That’s why there are wonderful legal groups like Pacific law Institute, and first alliance… they represent the little man with very good attorneys for free
And also, how about Institute for Justice? And Tom Fitton and Judicial Watch?
And Alliance Defending Freedom.
Liberty Counsel!!
And that's just with the trial defense. What does it do to us when they treat you like the Jan 6th prisoners of war locked away in solitary, beaten...
We are far, far off the rails.
The little guy 99.99% of the time stands no chance. It has always been this way to a large extent. But certainly, even more so with the Weaponized Law system. Regarding this, Trump is right when he says that they ‘have to take him down’ because Trump stands in their way of massacring us once the Woke Marxist Revolution is brought to completion. I have plenty of Trump complaint, and especially with Warp Speed. HOWEVER, Trump has put his entire wealth on the line. Yes, he has put facing down the enemy ahead of the god of money. Maybe there is calculation there of which I have little appreciation of. But still he put himself out there … and with all the pressure … overwhelming pressure brought to bear against him. This I have to respect. Even be thankful for. For all the faults, there is something remarkable there. Life is indeed complicated.
I knew one guy to tested things out. He squealed his tires, got himself arrested for not being ‘cooperative’. He went before the magistrate and refused to consent to anything, including fingerprints, the mug shot … everything. And so they jailed him. He spend three days in jail before they let him out on bail. He went before the judge and did everything just right, including object to ‘their’ court. After the a lot of rigmarole and with the judge saying something, the guy said to the judge, “Your Honor, can you tell me what kind of procedure you are following?” The judge said, “Substantive procedure.” And the guy said to the judge, “Your Honor, can you direct me to the where the rules of substantive procedure a delineated.” Judge … “Case dismissed!” To make this work, one has to know not to consent to anything with the Court’s court. And where to make repeat objection.
Yes, that's why so many J6ers are in prison.
I think this is why Trumps lawyers took a plea deal…. when I could never imagine why someone would say they lied when they didn’t. Or deceived.
So true, I'm just waiting for an FBI swat team with guns drawn and helicopters over my house to breach my door and haul me off to solitary confinement for having a controversial dream while sleeping. I have started sleeping in PJ's because I am expecting the raid to happen at anytime.
What we see over and over with these Trump hating judges (actually any Trump-hater in power) is that they exercise almost no self-control. Someone smart and thoughtful would understand that using extreme measures (such as requiring a $464M appeal bond) would likely be counter-productive in the big scheme of things. It appears outrageous to the layperson and complicates things legally.
Yet they can't help themselves, they are blinded by hatred fueled by hubris (plus they just aren't very intelligent to boot). One of the things I've taught my kids is that decisions based on emotion are almost always bad ones. You have to calm down and think things through before acting except in extremely time-urgent situations (which almost all decisions aren't). Somehow these people never learned this.
great teaching for your children, Jeff. One of my cardinal rules in running my business for 45 years: "If you need an answer now, the answer is no". My people came to realize that if something needed an immediate answer, follow our process and make it happen. Reduced the amount of times I got drug into non essential decision making and empowered them.
Yours is a great rule for business, but it goes far beyond that.
Manipulators almost always try and create an unwarranted sense of urgency to force a decision to their advantage. They count on people making emotion-based bad decisions.
It's rampant in advertising (which I've truly come to believe is dominated by sociopaths) with "limited time offer" and "you must act now" type of stuff. It's the reason the car salesman tries to get you to buy that day. Look at how Feed the Children attempts to manipulate people to give them money with pictures of malnourished kids. I assume they have good intentions yet they toy with people's emotions to persuade people to give them money.
There's a reason advertisers talk about the coveted age 25-54 demographic. People younger than this don't have any money, people older have acquired wisdom and don't fall for it as easily (or at least they shouldn't).
We, as Canadians, are experiencing that right now. With Trudeau (the Liberals) knowing his (their) days are numbered are trying to force the most ridiculous bills into law, making us, as Canadians, write letters to our government officials to stop the bills in their tracks.
I am in a constant state of amazement at what has been happening in Canada, and I pray for y'all. I was pleased to see you say "...knowing his (their) days are numbered". I have not gotten that impression anywhere before. I PRAY that what you said is true.
John, the world is living in clown world. Will be praying for God's will and His justice be done!
Write as if your lives depend on it! Godspeed!
"You must act now!" Ugh. No. I've been getting your emails for years, I know you guys will make the same offer in 3 months... if not next month.
That kind of pressure makes me want to do the opposite! Car dealers who try to pressure me into buying a car that very day just make me want to walk away without buying anything and never come back!
exactly!!! Or sooner! LOL
Bill's solution works here, too - "If you need an answer now, the answer is no."
My father taught me that these "on sale now!!!" ads were exactly as you say, and that there would be another sale.
My high school boyfriend bought a car based on such a sale, and in future years, when the dealer was too cheap to re-cut the whole radio commercial, they just had a voiceover inserted to update the model year of the car, lol. It burned him every time.
LOL TRUTH! Do you know how many times I’ve ignored an ad, only to see the same ad return 2 days or a week later? Eh! Doesnt phase me. And if there are only 2 left and it goes before I decide then I didn’t really need it! LOL
exactly....One rule similar in nature I've lived by is when making a big purchase, I NEVER buy or make the deal on the first trip (car, house, boat, etc) I've actually gone back and the item was gone, but oh well...there'll be more. When pressured for the "yes," in these situations, it's always a "no."
That is exactly how I felt about the jab, all the pressure "they" applied made it obvious the only choice was a hard no.
Yes I think the absolute of having to have the jab, created a “hell no.” , for me anyway
Darn I wish I had come to that frame of mind earlier on, yes I will file this one!
I love this: "If you need an answer now, the answer is no". Brilliant. Can be applied beyond business, I think.
I used to tell my kids something similar if whining. If you’re gonna whine the answer will always be “no”. They rarely if every whined.
Very smart rule!
I had those same thoughts. I commented somewhere yesterday that arrogance blinded common sense and temperance. It becomes fatal.
Indeed. My favorite line is "Arrogance makes one stupid."
Pride goes before the fall
Exactly, right?!
Well said. Arrogance is of course rooted in Pride, the “original” sin by the Father of Lies himself. “Sin (also) makes you stupid” as my pastor says. Stupidity combined with unchecked emotion leads to hate, which is irrational (without reason) and what the TDS crowd all suffers from. But of course one cannot reason with an emotionally immature or upset person (of any age). If it wasn’t so infuriating to see the chaos these idiots create, it would be fun watching them have their hissy fits.
Pride, or false pride, as sin is sometimes called the biggest one of them all because we give unto ourselves what is not ours, but God's. Simply put, glorification of ourselves is not glorification of God. And to enable the sin, it is mandatory that we first deceive ourselves. But once we are made delusional by our own deeds and/or mind, the all Evil becomes possible.
It took me a long time to figure this out.
Wanna fix it fast and easy? Adopt the UK system of loser pays the winners' legal expenses. That's why you don't see frivolous lawsuits there. Part two I(my idea) f you want to add a diabolocialc nuance that will eliminate almost all of the willing stooges. If a judge rules in favor of the defendant in cases like this that the lawsuit might have been politically motivated, and defendants ' legal expenses are above a predetermined limit, an automatic referendum will appear on the next ballot for the people to decide if it was indeed politically motivated. If the people vote "yes, ", the prosecuting attournies are disbarred and an automatic 3 year jail sentence. Now, that's justice.
If Trump comes up with the money somehow and then prevails on appeal, will NY have to pay back his fine with interest? Seems only fair.
Depending on locality. NYC? Any major American city? Nyet.
what they need is a distraction from Trump, like for example, electrical issues hitting their house and it burning to the ground....
Where are those space lasers when you need them?
This is true. And it leaves one scratching one's head in amazement. But again, one has to remind oneself that we are not dealing with mature learned individuals here. We are dealing with infantile miseducated ideologues whose moral code is nothing more that the Satanic Code (Do as you will). These people have no restraints and therefore no compass. Sooner or later such end up wrecked upon shoals.
The real brutal question is: what will we have to endure before this all self-destructs? This Dr. Martin things is long, but very sobering. And it is how we all should be talking but aren't.

The bond to appeal in the NY case was 100% designed to be punitive. That was the point. After all, the case was never about justice. It was designed to punish President Trump, keep him busy, and severely weaken his economic position.
Punitive ... and vindictive. The two ... and therefore unconstitutional. This stood out to me a the single most important thing cited today.
An elderly veteran limped into the car dealership where my friend works as a service manager and sat down in his office. He just had a knee replacement and they had found a blood clot when operating. He said with all the weird health problems circulating with his family and friends, he concluded it must be from the repeated shots the government mandated … He seemed totally beat down and defeated, when he softly said, he couldn’t believe the country he loved and fought for, would knowingly do this to its people. It literally brought my unvaxed friend to tears.
It is heartbreaking. I feel so disillusioned. My thought is that I love my country. I love the premise on which it was built and the Constitution. However, I loathe the government.
The Founding Fathers (deliberately not using the genderless "Framers" BS word) loathed government too! That's why the Constitution specifically limits government power.
Could be because we need to recognize we are a Constitutional Republic.
I called Walgreens recently and the recorded message now says if you’re over 65 you need a shot every 4 months. Then yesterday I saw an article advising immunocompromisef folks to get them every 6 months. And Moderna is building huge plants to make more. It’ll be every month shots soon. I feel like I’m in a dystopian novel.
Murderna
I heard the same recording and it made me want to vomit. I wish there was a way to leave a message and tell them to get that stupid recording off so we sane people don’t have to listen to their bs. 🤦🏼♀️
I think I laughed out loud, thought they’d promised yearly shots like flu? Honestly, that every 4 month thing should wake anyone with only a few brain cells up that the whole thing is a lie.
You would think. But AAS there are so many still lining up and slapping their shoulder for more. I just. Don’t. Get. It.
Email Walgreens to let them know.
Eff Walgreens. Look around your community; surely you can locate an independent, locally-owned pharmacy.
Med Page just published an article saying the same thing--every 6 months for a covid shot. The disclosures were incredible. All but one contributor disclosed massive conflicts with pharma companies:
Diefenbach reported serving on an advisory board to AstraZeneca.
Kotton reported no relevant financial disclosures.
Segev has consulted for AstraZeneca, CareDx, Moderna Therapeutics, Novavax, and Regeneron, and has received speaker fees from AstraZeneca, CareDx, Houston Methodist, Northwell Health, Optum Health Education, Sanofi, and WebMD.
Chemaly has been a consultant to ADMA Biologics, Janssen, Merck/MSD, Partner Therapeutics, Takeda, AiCuris, Roche/Genentech, Astellas, Tether, Oxford Immunotec, Karius, Moderna, InflaRx, and Ansun Pharmaceuticals.
Yes Med Page is where I saw 6 months
They are hoping to roll out mRNA flu shots.
I heard they’re trying to roll out mRNA everything even cancer treatments
Yes. Hurrah saved by the mRNA. <sarc> I think cancer treatment ironically was the original intended use for the mRNA technology.
I understand the tears. All those good men and women fought and died for what, to give those in power the right to try to make this country into a communist craphole where no one can speak, do or think without the government's approval? I don't think so.
Soros said around 8 years ago: the US is proving to be the hardest to turn into the NWO.
This great satanic vision of his. Ugh.
So he put his oodles of demon money into those persons and groups that would help it along, and here we are. Yes, we are the hardest. The EU and Canada capitulated easily, but we have people like Trump and RFKJR, and so many good citizens and lawyers and judges who will not be bought.
I see us as 50-50. We are indeed kicking and screaming, Mr. Soros.
I think the downfall of that guy will be his hubris. He thinks he has us figured out. He doesn't. I once read a joke about rednecks sitting in a tree all day without moving, waiting to shoot something (referring to game hunting). He doesn't get that. He doesn't get the spirit of 1776, which is alive and well in many of us. He will never get it. You're either an American, which means you get the feeling, or you aren't and you don't and you never will. It's something innate and internal, not something that can be trained, just as I will never truly understand other cultures I did not grow up in. Our American ancestors passed this spirit down. And he has no clue how furious some of us are. He doesn't understand dying on your feet as opposed to living on your knees. He and every other one of these bastards will not get it, and we won't give it up, so that is why someone that evil will never win. I'd rather sit in a tree all day waiting to shoot something than live in his world.
Those pesky Scots-Irish or Ulster-Scots at it again. This definition of Redneck taken from Electric Scotland website.
"The origins of this term are Scottish and refer to supporters of the National Covenant and The Solemn League and Covenant, or "Covenanters", largely Lowland Presbyterians, many of whom would flee Scotland for Ulster (Northern Ireland) during persecutions by the British Crown. The Covenanters of 1638 and 1641 signed the documents that stated that Scotland desired the Presbyterian form of church government and would not accept the Church of England as its official state church..
Many Covenanters signed in their own blood and wore red pieces of cloth around their necks as distinctive insignia; hence the term "Red neck", which became slang for a Scottish dissenter*. "
Very interesting. I had never heard that explanation. I thought it came about as a slur against white people who work outdoors and have sunburned necks. Thanks for another perspective.
That's what Chat dummy says online but we know what Paul Harvey says.
The fact that ol' George, and now Alex (the Fresh Prince of Davos), are alive tells me that EVERY NATIONAL LEADER on this planet (with the possible exception of Xi) is on the Soros payroll.
Our military could take those guys down in one day. Mossad likely could purge them in 15 minutes. The evil Putin, maybe 15 seconds. But noooo, the Soros clan walks to and fro on the earth, just like their soul brother Satan.
Beautifully written. Thank you.
We’ll be prepared to kill, because that’s on the agenda.
Interesting. I still cannot think why anyone would want to be as dark as Soros, including Soros himself. I think the same of people like the late David Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger, etc.
😢😤
Thank you Jeff Childers for being my new voice of reason as well as good humor. Reason and humor.... where can you get such a great combo for less I ask you????
I compared getting rid of Wade with spraying air freshener while leaving the rotting garage in the house.
So semi-off topic, but that air freshener stuff is awful. My neighbor has Febreeze or whatever the heck, all over her house. She gave me a bunch of expired food because I am broke and will gladly eat it, which was very nice of her and I am grateful. However, everything she gave me reeks of chemical air fresheners. I tried to make a box of something that has mashed potatoes and a biscuit mix in it. I opened both plastic bags and could smell chemicals on the food. I tried a box of pasta roni and both the noodles and packet of sauce smelled of Febreeze. I mean the food itself, not just the packaging. Airing it out does nothing. So this chemical sh*tstorn pernitrates not only the cardboard boxes and plastic bags, but sticks to the food itself. I suspect the canned food will be fine, although the smell stuck to the labels.
I think even the makers of this chemical nightmare would agree it was never meant to be eaten. I don't know how her and her husband don't have asthma or worse. I will never understand why people think having chemicals all over their house is a good thing.
Same sentiment for the dryer sheets or detergents or whatever it is that people use on their clothes that makes them smell from several feet away.
I have a hard time finding detergent and dryer sheets that don't absolutely reek. Even the unscented reek.
A friend gave me wool dryer balls. I love 'em and they work well! No more "Bounce" sheets here.
Wool dryer balls will change your world...at least the part of it involving your laundry. Goodbye liquid softener and dryer sheets, both of which add chemicals to your laundry.
Laundry tip…order some pure wool dryer balls. They bounce around to help soften and separate clothes as they dry. No smell, no chemicals.
Thank you, I will look into this! Do they handle static as well?
Edit: Nevermind. The product says it reduces pet hair. Thanks to you and all!
Hi Anthony. I use All free and clear detergent (and have used it for over 20 years).No smell at all!
The other replies are correct, use wool dryer balls.
I put a few drops of Lavendar essential oil on the pure wool dryer balls, it’s great!
I’m tired of dealing with all the smells from my neighbors using poison laundry stuff. I literally have to close all my windows and turn up the air purifier.
Exactly! Every time that neighbor does laundry I can smell it all the way at my house and we have some distance between us.
Use a magic marker to write down the contents, and dates of the canned food and get rid of the labels so the stink doesn't permeate your cupboards. Myself, I don't worry much about dates so much as texture and smell.
That's really interesting.
Oog. This house I am now renting was completely inundated with air deodorizers. It took me WEEKS to get the poisoned air out of here, and this house is literally only about 500 square feet. There were some curtains left, and I could not wash out the stench, no matter what I tried, so I tossed those. I don’t know how people can stand that sickly odor.
Anthony, it seems obvious to me that your neighbor is trying to poison you.
@Mark St or as a friend once commented, when you spray air freshener in the bathroom after someone poops, all you smell is Christmas tree-scented poop!
At least wipe your fanny and flush the toilet...
True but sometimes you have to spray just so you can enter the garage and start to clean up.
Or the bathroom
”And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.“
Romans 8:28 NKJV
https://bible.com/bible/114/rom.8.28.NKJV
I love this version: Romans 8:28 NIV
”And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.“
Romans 8:28 NIV
https://bible.com/bible/111/rom.8.28.NIV
And this one:
”And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose.“
Romans 8:28 AMP
https://bible.com/bible/1588/rom.8.28.AMP
But the sense of the sentence is changed a bit, don't you think? That's why I like to look at multiple translations at once and sometimes also at what the Hebrew or Greek words were.
Here's Young's Literal:
"And we have known that to those loving God all things do work together for good, to those who are called according to purpose;"
Exactly..I often compare many versions and also use Strong’s Concordance. Thank you
👎 There was absolutely nothing wrong with the original post that you needed to post the exact same thing "to correct."
I am not correcting; I am agreeing and confirming. I love that we have so many beautiful translations of the Bible
Beware the real difference in translation vs version vs one man's idea. Not saying these are wrong but we all need to know what they are and what they isn't.
It is certainly a wonder that we have Bibles in every language.
Almost every, RJ, and you raise a critical issue for us. Apparently, nearly 100 million people today don’t have the Bible in their native language (2023 Global Scripture Access - Wycliffe Global Alliance). We have serious 1st-World problems, but the 3rd World lacks sufficient food and clean water, and millions “have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit” (Acts 19:2). The WEF is literally hell-bent on overwhelming us with their de-humanizing global strategy. We will overwhelm them with our mandated global strategy: “Love your neighbor” and “Make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 22:39 & 28:19).
I don’t want to have this conversation: “I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink” . . . “Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty?” . . . “Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me” (Matthew 25:42-45). I don’t want to get caught standing around waiting for somebody else to do my job. “I saw another angel flying in midair, and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth—to every nation, tribe, language and people” (Revelation 14:6).
Here's our nudge: “Open your eyes and look at the fields. They are ripe for harvest” (John 4:35).
Amen!
I am still trying to figure out the good of my mother's early passing...It's been 57 years...nope nothing good.
It doesn't mean that everything that happens is good, but that God will somehow bring good out of it. I think we may not always see the good in this life, but I am confident God is keeping this promise. My parents divorced in 1970, when divorce was practically unheard of. It did lasting harm to my brother and I, from which he never recovered. I still have a deep-seated problem trusting people and don't easily form close relationships, although my husband and I have been married for 52 years. I can speculate on how God might have brought good from the divorce, but can't say that I'm really sure. I do know, without a doubt, that God put several very difficult people and situations into my life in order to make me more bold and willing to do what I think is right. That served me well during covid and after. I am speaking out and if people don't like it, that's okay. That said, I am so sorry you lost your mother when you must have been very young.
Thank you!
Jaci, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. <3 What a hard thing - to lose one's mother so young. Unfortunately, there are some things that we just won't understand until we see God face-to-face. His ways are not our ways. (Isa 55:8-9)
Death comes to all, do not make any exception, but there is hope to those who went to sleep in The Lord. Now, you need to talk to God and He will answer you!
Amen Ed!
Jaci, please ask God for an answer to your question. Were you made stronger by that terrible loss? Was your mother spared some terrible thing?
Life is difficult for everyone in one way or another, none of us get out without a measure of suffering. The key is in trusting God, No Matter What! He loves you and wants you to be His child eternally.
The ‘good’ spoken of in Romans 8 is often hard to see, but it’s the end game, the ultimate resolution of God’s will for your mother, for you, and everyone involved.
God’s will be done…the perfect prayer.
She got to enter into the kingdom of God and sit at His right hand without going through as much of the valley of tears that we call life.
Bullseye. “For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain” (Philippians 1:21).
“As high as Heaven is above the Earth, are His ways than ours “ I believe it says also and past finding out, so sorry for your hurt,
My mother died early, too. She was ill toward the end of her life and endured much pain and suffering. It helps me to know she wouldn't come back here if offered the chance to do so, and it's possible she WAS offered a choice.
Thank you! I am surrounded by friends with mothers they enjoyed as adults, so glad we aren't alone!
I realized just this year that my mother couldn't have given me advice about many things that concern people my age, because she was never my age. It's hard to think of her as permanently younger than I.
I am so sorry for your loss. It is indeed hard to understand. How old were you when she died?
Once again, Romans wins.
Yes! The entire chapter of Romans 8 is magnificent! It truly contains so much of the ‘meat’ of scripture. My daughter recently told me that she memorized the whole chapter. I wish my mind were still capable of that!
Amen.
The words of the wise heard in restfulness are better than the shouting of a ruler among fools. Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good.

To the date of four years ago, Michigan has shut down their Coronavirus government updating site. In the first almost two years it was daily updating, horrifying people via msm who duly reported numbers of daily deaths. Then it went to 3 times a week, then twice and for the last year it’s been once a week. They claim the data will all be archived, (which was always highly suspicious), but just checking on our local county stats for the last week, it was already removed. There will never be any chance to audit their corrupted numbers. But the “good” news is the statewide emergency has finally been rescinded….covid will officially be logged like influenza strains…
We have someone in Ohio who is suing the state board of health for all of their covid records. It is now being deliberated in the Ohio Supreme Court because of course our government agency refuses to cough up the data.
Coughorado needs this forced public audit, the Leftist Commie Gov is so proud of his team's work on CoVid
I live here and did not know this. Good for them! Anyone withholding data from this scamdemic should be sued.
Kathryn Huwig is on Facebook and I think has a substack as well. She is the analyst suing for data.
so much for archived data that is supposed to be transparent
None of those archived numbers are accurate if they are counting on PCR test accuracy!
4 years later! Unbelievable!! No offense to Michiganders, but I could not live there with that level of insanity. It stinks because I had planned to retire to the UP, which is amazing, and I believe my native ancestors lived in the area.
Michigan has really fallen, no doubt due to Governor Poisy Hat's ambitions. Detroit has been "chosen" as a Center for Urban Transformation by the WEF. And the cortisol lipped governor asked people to house "migrants" in their spare rooms recently. Then we've got Ms. Tlaib, the Hamas lover. It is as bad as California here, with Plumped Lips substituting "social emotional learning" for literacy and numeracy, and Pride preschools, no doubt with required vaccinations, 72 at least, including coronavirus. Huge billboards with "diverse" people happily participating in clinical trials-- those who fall for that no doubt ending up abandoned like Maddie de Garay. Few places are any better though. I'd wanted to go to New Mexico, but UNM teaches whiteness studies instead of the humanities, Luhan is a Biden posterior licker, and even the Unitarians have fallen to wokeness. No doubt a plastic surgeried Epstein is out at his ranch up to the same old pedophilia.
Isn't it odd that the illegals are protected from vaccination?
I love Hillsdale College, but it's too bad that's where it's located.
The abominations occurring in NYC are the template for the entire country in the coming years. The complete loss of rule-of-law and the destruction of those who oppose the DC Swamp's tyranny.
Exactly
BG&A.
"At this point, there’s not enough perfume in Atlanta to get the stink off Fani Willis." Really Atlanta need to wipe their Fanny clean, come on man...
You forgot "Listen Jack!" Someone knew something was up when they wrote the song The Devil Went Down To Georgia!
N.O. Saints fans call Atlanta Falcons the “Dirty Birds” for good reason. They smell.
Who Dat!✌️
Great update on Trump’s legal proceedings. Encouraging! I was afraid Lawfare Letitia would sell Trump’s NY real esteem for pennies on the dollar to the Biden and Hochul families.
My heart breaks for Trump. I will never forget the hope his shining, albeit a bit ostentatious, Trump Tower brought to a sickly looking, dirty, neglected and depressed New York city. I lived in Manhattan those years.
Then other buildings went up and with each building you could sense a slow Renaissance of the city he loved as much as he loves the country which made it possible.
My heart breaks. These people are vampires. Evil to the core.
I've wondered about this aspect, Angela. Oprah had him on multiple times, I think (based on clips shared by others; no TV in our house), and it seemed he was viewed as sort of a savior of NYC (similar to Giuliani, regarding crime), yet now both are hounded through lawfare. Why self-immolate? Where are the millions who benefitted from their work? Are they all silent?
With friends like theirs, who needs enemies? 😟
@Jpeach or as another commenter somewhere suggested, use them to house illegal immigrants, just to pour salt in the wound. That’s got to be one of Tish James’ most enthralling fantasies. 😒
Everything happening seems so overwhelming, until we remember that it’s all spiritual warfare. “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against powers and principalities.” People in very high places (and some in not so high, like District courts) have been doing the enemy’s bidding for a very long time. But be of good cheer; we know Who wins! 🙏🏻
What has been the salve to my soul is our church sermons recently reminding me that GOD is the keeper of justice. It is not for me to worry about or take justice into my own hands. God said vengeance is mine!
@Lisa Ca Amen, and amen!
