Another Similar Disgrace

Sometimes what we think are small gestures of acceptance, that are forced on us, or being told this is normal behavior, or just go along with it, turn into some of the biggest issues in our lives. We seem to be tested every day, undercurrents slowly move us, subtlety pushed, nudged, little by little until we wake up one day and we see all of these small manipulations have turn into, take it or lose your job. It’s become very obvious there are certain groups that do these things to us to just see if we will allow it, how far can we push these common folk? Bad company surely corrupts good character. You know how medical staff, doctors, nurses, etc., at hospitals, were forced to take experimental injections like it or not. Or I’m sure you’ve heard about states allowing men into the ladies locker rooms and showers. Well I can tell you this takes place now.

My wife and her co workers are forced to allow an intact man, cross dresser, into their locker room where they change. As uncomfortable and abusive that this is no one can say a word or you will be fired for discrimination. Most every nurse in that locker room is completely uncomfortable and against this policy of being forced to change in front of a strange man. Slowly over time this manipulation became policy and if you speak up your fired. I’m not sure why the upper people in the hospital, let’s take the director of nursing is not forced to get undressed in front of this man as a gesture, showing that she is on board with forcing females to be abused in this way. If it’s such a good policy I think all of the management, directors, coordinators etc. should be forced to undress in front of this man with make up fake hair and fake breasts. Does my being uncomfortable not have the same stature as a man with gender dysphoria who says he’s uncomfortable changing in the men’s locker room. Do children that have major or minor procedures done need this type of controversial situation thrown in front of them while getting a procedure done?

This is the slow creep of totalitarianism, is it not? The loss of our most basic freedom and decency of privacy. Let us, the elites, see just how far we can push the commoners. The upper hospital elites are never placed into these abusive situations. How can it be right that my wife, again, against her will, be forced to undress in front of a strange man, or be fired. Someone please explain to me how this is fair, appropriate or legal. Where have all the feminists gone?

The nurses should quit en masse - and if they lack the courage, then those who disagree with the policy should quit. The third option, that may or may not be more beneficial, is to speak up and be fired. No one is going to save us but ourselves. This is not only a test of whether the women will allow it - but a test of their commitment to what is right.

At some point the question becomes: if not this, then what will cause an employed person to quit their job. There are abundant parallels to what occurred in Nazi Germany - especially behavior by nurses.

Since 2020 many have pretended there is no difference between: "Do it or you'll lose your job" and "do it or we'll kill you." There's a huge difference and we should stop pretending otherwise because pretending otherwise creates a false narrative that there is no choice. There is a choice - albeit a potentially inconvenient choice. As you said, "there are certain groups that do these things to us to just see if we will allow it, how far can we push these common folk." The nurses are showing them the answer. As an aside, nurses can always find another job so they are well-suited to resist.

As James noted, why are the rights of a man with the mental illness of gender dysphoria greater than the rights of women to have female-only intimate spaces? Why are the women told they are the ones who have to accommodate the man? Why do we not hear of men complaining about women using their bathrooms and locker rooms ? Is it because all the trans people want to use women’s spaces? Trans rights are incompatible with women’s rights. One can’t support both.

Linda Whitney's avatar

Agreed, Mayor.

It is also quite likely that eventually it will be determined that the real disorder with many of these men is not ‘gender dysphoria’ at all. It is a fetish driven psyche that thrills the cross dresser when he displays his perversion.

Trans-activists forced acceptance and inclusion on us and these creeps jumped on the opportunity to bring what has always been a private self indulgence out into the open. Furthermore, it’s been legally weaponized so that they can claim victimhood and damage you badly if you object.

Does this really need to be the price of a free and open society?

Alice Ball's avatar

Yes, it's called autogynephelia & every single man in a dress and a wig has it. The whole "trans" ideology is complete & total BS.

Truth Seeker's avatar

sort of, its actually just garden variety mental illness

Alice Ball's avatar

Maybe it's a mix. Way back in the day when I still read National Review, a commenter observed that about trans men & said he himself had autogynephelia & that most trans men do, so I took him at his word.

Truth Seeker's avatar

The correct Dx requires asking the right question, and not parroting

dysphoria lingo. The cross dressers and trannys are mentally ill.

The legal profession once again, fails miserably.

Acting is mass is moral conscience. Expecting it to be codified in law is

a terrible idea. Complacent people to some extent are facilitating their own demise.

Linda Whitney's avatar

Truth Seeker: I’m guessing you mean “Acting IN mass is moral conscience”?

If so I think that is quite likely what has to happen. Enough of us signing on with common sense to restore the true center of gravity. The job is to drown out the noisy psycho babble of the self righteous so-called ‘allies’ who think this is the hill they have to die on.

Mayor,

Years ago in Oregon, a vocal champion of common sense and Biblical truth battled the legislature with a ballot measure in their attempt to main stream the homosexual lifestyle which demanded acceptance. The opposition fought this ballot measure with the tag line "equal rights, not special rights". Well, here we are, issuing special rights to a mentally disturbed group consisting mostly of biological males. The ride down the slippery slope has been long and gets faster as we near the bottom.

WA Lunch Lady's avatar

These nurses should file a grievance with their union against the management as well as the hospital and tranny for not providing them a safe space. Let the union hash it out with management as to where biological females can change for work in safety away from prying eyes.

Melissa Collins's avatar

I agree as well. I (now retired), was self employed (realtor) so when I say I agree I will be honest in saying I was not in a position to need to quit a job ... realtors could still do their jobs but with ridiculous rules (I lived in SoCal then with some of the worst covid restrictions) .... so I can't speak to making a choice if in that situation your wife and daughter were BUT I would like to think I would have quit. I boycott by my non-presence and non-support, many things these days....now living in a small coastal town in Oregon, one of THE worst states in this nation. It gets easier all the time. I MUST STAND FOR TRUTH. In my head I literally imagine what I would do if someone came up to me, pointed a gun at my head and said "Do you believe in God?" I practice the YES. As horrific as that sounds, I would enter into the presence of God immediately if they pulled the trigger. We know that already goes on in many parts of the world. May God have mercy on us during these times.

There is a film (2019 Terrence Malick) called "A Hidden Life" which address this issue. It is the story of an Austrian farmer who refused allegence to Hitler on moral grounds and the price he paid, ultimately death. It is beautifully filmed in the Austrian Alps and without the beauty, his story would be impossible to watch. What this man underwent for his faith will give one pause, thinking could I have been this courageous?

Melissa Collins's avatar

I will definitely watch this!! Thank you for thw recommendation!

Silent scorn's avatar

Wow that sounds amazing but difficult to watch. I’ve prayed about this scenario too, that a moment of pain would bring eternity with Him. Then I go off on tangents, what about slightly more painful circumstances, etc and have to just trust the Lord that the words and strength will be there for me if and when I need it. I read the series ‘Left Behind’ which is a fictional story about the end times and it has several of these scenes which help. I’m glad I’m not the only one thinking about such things. They are getting more ‘real’.

I wonder more about parents of young children. If their child is threatened, what would they choose?

For that matter, what if my adult child was threatened, would I be strong enough? I fantasize that, yes, I would.

I listened to the testimony of a former Muslim who came to realize that Yeshua truly is the Messiah. He asked his pastor to baptize him, the pastor’s response was “No. Not for 3 months. You must decide if you are willing to die for Him.” And I thought, ‘How many so-called Christians would truly be willing to die for Him?’

I imagine this all the time! I picture myself with fearsome courage, willing to die for my belief in Jesus Christ and in God. And then I go deeper and wonder if faced with the sheer terror of that moment, would I be as courageous as I fantasize?

The courage it takes to be able to exclaim “yes!” in that precise moment comes only from God’s Word and regularly supping with His Holy Spirit. I need to get to work, because those guns to the head are getting closer.

Melissa Collins's avatar

I agree 100% I MUST be that courageous!!! Either I BELIEVE on the Lord Jesus Christ as my Savior, or I don't. It cannot be lukewarm, as the scripture says. As we practice the scriptures on the daily (the 10 commandments for example) we must also add this .... practice the YES ..... weirdly a bit in shock that we are discussing this .... but we saw it coming with COVID. I knew within three weeks they were lying. I stood my ground then. Thus the practice began. May God grant us His Peace during these times.

Susan V's avatar

Amen . It breaks my heart to think of how many don’t have a relationship with God. I can’t imagine going thru these times without Him. I went down so many rabbit holes in 2020 at the very same time I surrendered my heart to God. Grew up Catholic and never understood it the difference between religion and having a relationship with a mighty savior. Thank you Jesus

S.P.H.'s avatar

With the steady march of DSA candidates into elected office, indeed Believers will be faced with that decision to follow Him at all cost. I pray for that strength also, Juju.

Of special impact to me was the scene on the shore of the Mediterranean of the Christian captives being held by Isis. On their knees they were asked to convert to Islam, if they refused they were beheaded. They all refused. That is faith.

This ladies and gentlemen is Islam. It is not a religion but a political / military movement, a cult, adhered to with religious fervor.

There is POWER in numbers and I don’t understand why ALL these female nurses who are being subjected to this insanity don’t stand TOGETHER and just say “NO”…would the hospital fire their entire nursing staff?? Women have so much power (in this and many other issues) if they’d only stand together!!

I was a nurse (LPN) back in the old days (early 1990’s) and took a break to have a baby and stay home for a few years, but ended up having 4 babies (staying home for 17 years) and never returned to nursing. I realize now that I could NOT be a nurse in today’s world…so sad.

Karmy's avatar

You are exactly right!! Stand together and quit! The hospital can’t afford to lose their nurses! Nurses are in high demand as it is. These women have more power than they know I said the same thing during Covid. If everyone in a company that was forcing vaccination quit in mass, the company would have to relent. They can’t afford to lose their people. It would cost them a fortune look for replacements and rehire them.

Tonee norman's avatar

Indeed. However,people were fed non stop fear during Cvd so most were so frightened by that “invisible beastie “ they WANTED that shot. Fear is a great “control agent “. Hospitals seemed very willing to lose those few who said “no”…

In the locker room situation I’m wondering WHY the women don’t stand together and threaten to quit. If even ONE woman is uncomfortable with a penis in the dressing room,why are HER feelings less valid then the mental penis? Perhaps EVERYONE needs a private dressing room,or,the penis can go in with the men.🤔

I never returned either. I was Computer Science and Software Design.

Nobody was more relieved that I resigned than our babysitter. 🤣🤣🤣 She couldn’t handle all my detailed notes and instructions. She stated if anyone needed to stay home with their kids it was me. Lol.

Lew's avatar

Carolyn what are we talking about here? The nurse comments. I’m so confused. Am I reading the wrong substack?

Taiga's avatar

This is a thread from Mr. Goodrich's initial comment. You might want to re-read it. We are talking about the choices people make in life to stand up for values Taking a stand is inconvenient - but failure to do so leads to authoritarianism. The role nurses play in standing up, is vital. There are plenty of historical cases of failure of healthcare workers in to do the right thing because they didn't want to inconvenience themselves by quitting. That lead to the death of and intentional killing of patients in Nazi Germany. The same result was achieved during Covid. In this case, it is tolerating a biological male in private women's dressing rooms, locker rooms, etc.

Truth Seeker's avatar

Would be a really good idea to comprehend Substacks.

They begin with content, usually an article and subsequent

commentary that is best examining one or more of the salient

points...

Julinthecrown's avatar

Been doing some reading about the American Revolution given her big birthday this year. Similar parallels exist between the colonists & our current citizenry - esp those of us on Substack.

Re: the preferred method of communication - pamphlets:

"...what has impressed several generations of historians is the stunning speed with which the well-framed resistance to British authority seeped down to the county, town, and local level..."

"The emergence of the pamphlet as a cheap, readily accessible vehicle for authors, often styling themselves “Cato” or “Publius,” offered the perfect instrument for what we might regard as early-day blogs."

Ellis Ph.D., Joseph J. "The Cause: The American Revolution and its Discontents, 1773-1783" (p. 16). (Function). Kindle Edition.

These discussions we are having on Substack is certainly is taking the same role as the pamphlets did in the 1770s.

James Goodrich's avatar

A lot of these nurses have families, kids, and they provide the benefits through the hospital for their family. Many of them including their family have medical issues so again they are forced to comply with these authoritarian policies. This guy is an anesthesiologist so it also could be looked at as an issue of status! Pretty much he’s a doctor and from what I understand he’s not very good.

Taiga's avatar

Again, they are not forced. There are plenty of other employers. We are a country filled with excuses about why we don't do the right thing - why others fight our battles for us. It is why we find ourselves here. These attitudes lead to societal and national collapse. People must stop looking for a hero "out there" and find it within themselves. There are only so many Pierre Korys, Paul Mariks, Mark Trozzis and countless other healthcare workers. People should ask themselves, "What if I were fired?" Their answer would be they'd make it work.

Lisa Runquist's avatar

Re just get another job -- In S Oregon there is basically one hospital organization that controls the facilities in Ashland, Medford and Grants Pass. I do not know their policies but if someone were to quit, there is NOT another similar job that can be obtained without moving a fair distance. If you have a family this would not be a simple process.

Juju's avatar

But not impossible. They are taking advantage of knowing most people think it’s impossible.

Lisa Runquist's avatar

Certainly not impossible but not necessarily easy. I would not personally put up with the mistreatment but i understand how hard it might be for others.

Oregon Kathy's avatar

I live here also, I agree. So I would say instead to find another way… enlist the public with rallies to bring attention to the issue, Hire an attorney, have the nurses demand adjustments to their locker rooms, just start brainstorming other options.

I agree. Just pointing out that at least in some places it is not easy to just get another job.

Remember how it was the Nurses who were the first to post videos of the near-empty hospitals, when we were being told there were lines of people trying to get into the hospitals and freezer trucks of dead bodies.

It was also the Nurses who first revealed that ALL patients entering the hospital were to be listed as C0vid victims because hospitals and doctors were getting bonuses for every patient they diagnosed with C0vid.

Nurses are a fierce army if they unite.

He's not going to lose any patients, since his patients are unconscious most of his time with them.

When airline pilots got wise to how detrimental taking the clot shot could be to their PERMANENT health and ability to ever fly a plane again, they refused totally and let themselves be “released”.

To do nothing. I don’t say this to be harsh, but that we must stop an acquiescing to that which we KNOW to be evil. It infuriates me , especially as a retired RN, that ONE creepy weirdo gets to have what HE wants at the great expense of everyone else. NOTHING right about it.

This is exactly the right reply - if not now, when? - just quit. If you ALL QUIT - none of this would happen ! I perfectly understand it's difficult. Sometimes doing the right thing is. Or change in the mens room... or hallway... I would contribute to her loss of wages.... If all the nurses quit, they would rescind the policy and it would make front page news - especially now - align with the Overton Window - there's still time - as Nike says - JUST DO IT. We're with you. (if everyone had done this for the fake v*c*ine - SAME THING - mandatory policies would have been thrown out. They will get away with exactly as much as we allow them to get away with. We are WAY too easily handled. The women and coaches not walking away when men are allowed on their team - same - it's an embarrassment to Women - JUST WALK AWAY - I PROMISE YOU - you'll inspire others to follow in your footsteps. Sometimes it just takes one person to take that first step. It's easier now than it was - go with the Preference Cascade, buy a canoe and jump in - the timing could not possibly be more perfect. Like not taking the vaccine, she will NEVER regret it and the feeling she will get standing up for what is right will send an even BIGGER thrill up her leg than the one felt by poor Chris Matthews.

Agree 1000%. And from a practical standpoint, the hospital would be rapidly over the barrel if the nurses staged a strike, sickout, or other work pressure. At some point, obnoxious policies need to be challenged, and as an MD I’d wholeheartedly support the nurses on pressuring the hospital administration. And as you note, we have a shortage of RNs (and MDs), and replacing experienced nurses with travelers is VERY expensive.

In 1993 I was working for the FDIC in its Kansas City office. One day I was called into the boss’s office and privately told that a young man on our floor would be using the women’s restroom and if I wanted to avoid an encounter I could choose to use the restroom on another floor. All the women on my floor were given this information individually. We were already on the slippery slope then.

AI overview:

In 1993, the treatment protocol for gender dysphoria (then termed "gender identity disorder" or transsexualism) followed the third or early fourth version of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (then called the Harry Benjamin International Gender Dysphoria Association) Standards of Care. It required a strict, sequential "triadic therapy" model: mandatory psychological evaluation, a 3-to-6-month psychotherapy period, a mandatory 12-month "real-life experience" (social transition test) living full-time as a woman, followed by cross-sex hormone therapy and finally genital surgery.

I watched the so-called "feminist" movement gather steam when I was in college in the early 1970s. I immediately felt they were frauds then and I know they have been frauds all along the way to now. Feminism existed and developed for political, influence and power reasons. They have never supported women. I never needed them and did just fine.

James, if that were my wife, I would find a way to build a little cubicle in the women’s locker room just for him/her. Probably with the help of a couple of other husbands.

Richard Whitney's avatar

He has a fetish. Actually, two - the thrill of cross-dressing and also exhibitionism.

People need to quit treating the trans-identified men as some sort of normal human.

This is what leads to people supporting "trans rights", and talking about the "balance" between the needs of women and the needs of men who get off on peeping at women, or showing their genitals to women, or groping children at a drag queen story hour.

There are no such things as "trans rights". That is an invented term, meant to normalize perversion.

SHug's avatar

Yes. We used to call these creeps "flashers" and charge them with indecency for exposing their privates to young girls and women; or "peeping Toms" who spied (which is how many rapists begin) on young girls and women.

Now, these perverts are forcing their way into women's spaces and forcing women to watch them to satisfy their gross kink. And the damn authorities are not only allowing it, but forcing women to participate, by threatening their jobs and schooling!!

Whatever happened to "your personal rights end where mine begin"?

The nurses should all quit at one time if possible. The hospital will shit its pants. They can't hire other nurses fast enough. All walk into the hospital admin's office, tell him or her why and leave their badges on the desk and walk out in unison. Those nurses will be hired someplace else very quickly. Not standing up continues to enable this sick shit.

Very stressful and please tell your wife we are praying for this degenerate situation to change for the better.

Sherrylyn Young's avatar

Lori--I wish it were so simple for the nurses to organize and quit. I have a story: I was once a part of a group of doctors who organized and quit an HMO. I think we all had the best of intentions at that time. But what happened next, I never saw coming. The HMO administrator went individually and secretly to each of the doctors and offerred them a HUGE sum of money to see the HMO patients. It was just too inticing, and when many of the doctors agreed, the whole boycott failed. The HMO administrators had come to me and offerred me the same deal, and I had stuck to my guns, thinking all the other doctor would too, but not everyone is the same as me. And once the HMO had enough doctor on board, everything reverted back to what it had been, with all the same problems. So you can see how the nurses might fear the consequences of trying to do the right thing.

Lori's avatar

If you live in fear, nothing will ever get done. For one's sanity and dignity, you quit if there is a man in the women's locker room. No more excuses, no more wait and see. We have waited too long and are now seeing what is happening to all of us.

STAND YOUR GROUND AND JUST SAY NO AND WALK.

Lori's avatar

Thanks Dave. You are kind to say a clear voice. I think I just have a big mouth:}

daverkb's avatar

Lori is right. At some point a determination has to be made, 'this far and no more'. And just like at the Alamo, a line in the sand has to be drawn. To fail to do so means to choose 'non-personhood' over life with content. In simple talk, the choice is to choose 'the way, the life' over 'darkness and death'. In the end, life becomes a matter of spiritual/religious choosing.

Back in the 1950s nobody would have dreamt that someday we would have to choose between God and Demons. Well! Here we are! And history tells us that if the Demons ever get full blown power unquestionable that they will not hesitate to kill up into the tens of millions of anybody who disagrees with them. And don't think it can't happen here.

Lori's avatar

As the adage goes, I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees.

It is time to stop dancing around the fact that the power elite plainly have meant to kill us off, and that is the great many of us not only in the West but also elsewhere throughout the world. The Covid Terrorism is only the latest instance of a willingness to deploy biological weaponry against populations. There is also wholesale Demographic genocidal invasions of countries, the wholesale attacks on our identities, the burning of cities, attacks on the food supply, all manner of false flags and proxy attacks against us, the poisoning the atmosphere, degrading us into a hapless and intended helpless state ... and much more. And everyone here at C & C knows all of this and much more.

If somebody is trying to kill us, then stop cooperating with them. And above all, never water down what the killers are intent on doing, what they have done. And say out loud with a big mouth what needs to be bluntly said. That is why I said 'thank you'.

IR's avatar

That would be a wonderful thing if nurses could stand together. Unfortunately some nurses themselves are the problem, they won’t do it. Things can change really quickly if people stand together. I hope I’m wrong though. I know they go on strikes, perhaps they can also stand up fir themselves in this situation as well.

Ahr Aitch's avatar

Be careful what you wish for. A mass walkout would lead union organizers to descend gleefully and create a union. Healthcare and government - ALL GOVERNMENT - should be prohibited from having unions.

FWIW: I grew up in a union household. My dad was a craft union member for about 50 years. I attended union meetings with him from the age of 10 well into my high school years. I know, at first hand, what benefits unions bring and what damage they can do to the member and to his employer, to say nothing of the damage to the public done by government union members - whose authority to organize lies in an EO issued by JFK and could, presumably, be revoked by a DJT EO - and by healthcare employee unions.

Lori's avatar

It is not a mass walkout, it is a few nurses. And even if it were, not a good enough excuse not to walk out. It is past time to just so no to men dressing up as women for whatever abnormal ideations they have.

Ahr Aitch's avatar

I was simply cautioning about the dangers inherent with labor unions in healthcare.

I agree entirely that women should not be subjected to the mental illness of men who wish to insert themselves where they are not wanted and do not belong.

I wonder if the nurses don't have a legal complaint based on discrimination and for creating a hostile work environment. If they started a gofundme for legal expenses to pursue this, I'd contribute.

Lori's avatar

I would donate too.

KC & the Sunshine's avatar

Surely someone on staff at that hospital could find a spot for him to change— a janitor closet, an empty room, a spot in the morgue…?

I would think that with enough publicity about this issue, the hospital may be embarrassed enough abt its own stupidity and wrongdoing that it may change course.

Can we all “multiply” them— not with finds but with bad press?

Jeff?

Richard Whitney's avatar

The exhibitionism is part of the fetish. He wouldn't want a private place to change.

Oh, I know HE wouldn’t want a private place to change. I’m not interested in helping him further his delusions. I mentioned the other spots for him to change in, for the sake of the women in the women’s locker room.

Sidebar: It seems so much simpler for men who feel like women or vice versa, to simply take some hormones to make them feel more like their God given equipment dictates. Just sayin’ …

Lori's avatar

Brilliant idea. We should shout it out loud and proud like they do and shame the hell out of the hospital. Plus, I want no part of a degenerate being my nurse. It is disgusting.

Jan's avatar

A friend working at an office in the 60s had a policy of no pantsuits for women. One day a gal wore one and was sent home to change. The next day every woman in the office wore a pantsuit. That rule ended. They should make this man and hospital ridiculous to all. All nurses en mass be part of it.

Methinks, the reptiles within the administration, the "elites" as you refer to them must be given their "wakeup call" loud and clear.

I can only surmise that this particular hospital where this elitist decision has been made, falls in a Democrat run state were this type of perversion of ethical behavior is allowed to exist.

My recommendation: Have each and every woman subjected to this "man" in this lockeroom write a sincere letter to President Trump, and also send a copy to Karoline Levitt, detailing the pain and anguish, the disgust they are made to endure or be fired. In the letters, ask President Trump and Ms. Levitt to "please keep their names anonymous" or simply sign the letters anonymously to protect their jobs from the reptilian authoritarians in charge.

If I know President Trump, he will be as disgusted as all of us when he is made aware of this "man" who clearly has mental issues and the administrators who have enabled "him" to ogle women undressing in proximity to him.

Do not delay in sending these letters.

IR's avatar

You know I sometimes wonder are these people for real, are they really who they say they are or it’s just a psyop and they are sent to test us, to see how much we are going to take. It’s just so unbelievable and insane.

Do the nurses have a union? Never mind; the union would probably side with the tranny.

weedom1's avatar

There's enough of a nursing shortage that your wife likely has many other options. Speaking up and getting fired might lead to a large bolus income down the road, but might slow down the ability to get another job by a month or 2. If she quietly leaves for another job, she has the option of going back to the prior employer when attrition causes them wise up and create a separate locker room for the person who wants to be a girl.

Nearly 4 years ago, I was able to leave the practice of pharmacy entirely by living simply and cutting expenses by 2/3. This also cut tax payments to the IRS by a great deal. (My opinion of the FDA remains very low).

(Years ago, I had been fired for doing-no-harm, and it took 3 months to get another pharmacy job, because I told the prospective employers that I had been fired and the manner in which I would continue to do-no-harm, so as to assure a good match.)

Christine's avatar

Every hospital is desperate for nurses. Maybe a new job in a different hospital is on the horizon for your wife? If it were me, I'd have already walked out. We must STAND UP for what we believe in!

Of course this is wrong, woke b.s. being forced upon your wife & other females. It’ll continue until it can’t.

And therein lies the bigger problem to me. It took 6 years to move from wet market to lab leak. No real mentions of Fauci’s connections to the Wuhan lab or the facts this was a deliberate induced pandemic. Full stop. Roasting Fauci is fine, but it will be forgotten by next year. I will not forget.

Some have forgotten. Some will forget. I will not! NOPE

Susan G's avatar

I call them heroes too. Aaron didn't suffer as much financially as the other two.

CHop's avatar

I agree, however, I put Kyrie and Djokovic above Rogers. Rogers was one of the biggest names in NFL football and was quiet until he was called out by the press. I appreciate him being open now, but if he spoke out initially like Irving and Djocovic did, he could have gotten many Rookie players and other Americans to think twice before getting an experimental shot in their arm.

Patti's avatar

I honestly don’t know how quiet he was. I was battling for healthcare workers to just read for themselves. Be informed. I was not shocked at how uninformed and thick headed people were.

He believes the news, and thinks his parents are conspiracy theorists and just old conservatives.

Hi Jeff, we are about a week away from primary election in Florida and I’m still on the fence with my vote for Governor. I realize this isn’t necessarily a topic for your entire audience, but I would submit that Florida is a key state that should continue to be a “gold standard” for our country. Will Jay Collins or Byron Donalds best keep our course?

I’d so appreciate your perspective! 🙏🏼

(please forgive me for “posting before reading”… I’m just really hoping to get your eyes on this)

Cynthia's avatar

Jay Collins would be WAY better than Donalds, who was a Democrat until 2010! I looked up his voting record as a Florida representative and he has missed about 6% of the votes!! As in not bothering to be there to vote for the people he supposedly represents! Plus, he has some big money donors and is on video asking them what they want, so he'll obviously be beholden to them. You can also find his video online voicing support for "poor" felon George Floyd back when that went down. After doing lots of research, I'm voting for Collins, but sure wish Trump hadn't endorsed RINO Donalds.

FLGenX's avatar

Thank you Cynthia! I think that is part of what is tripping me up: Trump endorsed Donalds, but it was a while ago - and DeSantis hasn’t endorsed anyone - and there is a lot of noise right now that makes me question which research sources are true. Thanks so much for weighing in! 🙏🏼

“the virus jumped from a bat to a pangolin to a bowl of rat soup, and anyone who suggested otherwise was a racist conspiracy theorist.”

Actually, it was worse than that. If you denied it started from a wet market soup meal, you were racist, sure.

But SIMULTANEOUSLY, if you insisted it started from a wet market soup meal, you were ALSO racist. Because Chinese people have wet markets and eat lots of soup and even bat soup. So by even implying China had anything to do with it, you were a racist and a horrible person. Only scientists could make such insinuations without sin.

Remember, to the Left, anything the Right says/does that makes them think about race means the Right is racist.

It’s the perfect confirmation bias.
