Yeah, but don't forget as soon as Bernie became a millionaire he upped the ante and starting going after billionaires.

I'm just shocked that a self proclaimed socialist never got around to redistributing his ill-gotten millions

Toby Rogers published a note with political demographic / jab data on March 16th: https://substack.com/@tobyrogers/note/c-101100832?r=xi6uw&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=notes-share-action. Assuming his data is accurate, only 9% of Democrats refrained from COVID19 injections, while 34% of Republicans are injection free. Consider the implications of those numbers.

I keep thinking about the numbers of children of democrats/liberals who were vaccinated compared with the number of children of republicans/conservatives. I think in 10 to 15 years there will be a lot of furious young adults who are suffering from disabilities, including fertility issues.

Yup, and SHUT UP if you think it could be anything other than a coincidence, or that it isn't because not enough people got jabbed...

Or as I am sometimes told, by even non-jabbed friends (but had children and grandchildren that were jabbed), "Not everything that happens with these 'died suddenly's' or young people that died from various turbo cancers, etc. are jab related". They are in frustration denial because their kids didn't listen to them.

STDS: Sudden Teenage Death Syndrome

sure it's tragic, sudden and deadly, but becoming more normal and expected these days, something about evolution, vast and incomprehensible interactions of environmental toxins (even AI can't figure it out), so we should just accept this as a new normal and just ask for Gvt.-mandated Grief Recovery counseling and drugs from insurance, and perhaps Gvt.-subsidized death benefits and coverage for disposing of the bodies as well.

The son appears to be hypoxic and frail looking....... probably myocardial damage from the vaxx weakened him and then you die pretty quickly if you contract garden variety virus or flu.

Then again, depending on how widespread is the phenomenon of the DNA contamination from the shots (and/or the mRNA via reverse transcriptase) getting into a person's genome -- i.e., ALTERING their DNA -- and given that Pfizer's own studies in rats showed the lipid nanoparticles concentrating overwhelmingly in the OVARIES... what could this mean for our potential grandchildren? Has the whole Covid project permanently altered the human species? I think only MIRACLES -- God intervening directly to heal women's ovaries and egg cells from this diabolical damage -- can save us.

I remember one older white liberal woman acquaintance in our small town in 2021 lamenting the fact that she couldn't get her grandson jabbed soon enough (waiting for the government approvals to jab the under ten population). She was horrified that there were "unjabbed" running around out there that would "endanger" her grandson. I hope he is okay.

Taking action to stop Big Pharma advertisements on TV...

Joining with the DOJ to prosecute Fauci, Birx, Wolensky and the Management of Pfizer, J&J and Moderna...

Dramatically revising/reducing the childhood vaxx schedule...

yeah and did you know Zelenskyy and his govt outlawed the Russian language despite so many Russian speaking residents. then they shelled ( as in dropping Bombs) the Donbass Region for 6-7 years killing around 15,000 ethnic Russians. Putin kept telling them to stop or he would come in. The US gave Zelenskyy and his skinhead Nazi's more weapons and said go get 'em. It was hard to push Ukraine back from those entrenched positions-- they had years to dig in- that why it took awhile to make progress against them. but we have decimated that Country and now force their wealth into our coffers. The Cia installed Zelenskyy in 2014. he was a comic who danced in high heels and pantomimed playing a piano with his penis. He played a character in a TV show: Servant of the People. about a school teacher who became president. then after two years they ran their actor as a pol and installed him. the party was called the same name as the TV show: "Servant of the people" Zelenskyy was not elected legally. gimme a break. US did that. SO the problem we see today and what birst out at the White House was USA (Trump) versus CIA (Zelenskyy)! that is part of why Zelenskyy seems so confused and conflicted. Ukraine is the bigger evil this time, bro. I promise you. Well with our help of course-- they saw in 7 days it was futile but UK went in and said- go for it- we got you ! you can defeat Russia" WE kept it going. We are the aggressors there- not Putin. He responded to the attacks on ethnic Russian in Ukraine. Damn Bandera-ites in Ukraine.

Descendents of WWII Nazis are fighting and killing descendents of WWII Jews and Orthodox Christians on the same piece of land as during WWII. Its obvious they are nazi's in Azov and Etc divisions and battalions.

And you have been taught to hate Putin and Trump by the media you choose to consume. The real Info is available if you I can stand to leave your echo chamber long enough.

These people, Woke Globalist placeholders, live in a bubble and they totally believe their own crap, their own clever cunning and designs ... as if such schemes and delusions were ever grounded in reality in the first place.

For example, Zelensky believes the fiction that he is a real player, and the European political elites believe that they are their own masters. Zelensky in fact believed that with European backing he and the Europeans could steer 'the conversation' at a Washington hell press event. Neither Zelensky nor the European political elite can fathom that Globalist Woke is dead, that the entire Western World is being restructured by the people now in charge in Washington ... and further they cannot fathom that they as elites are either already to large extent obsolete, or about to be made completely irrelevant. Simply, these people cannot understand that the world in which they ran their narrative scams for decades no longer exists as anything more than a residual vapor.

This is why Lawyer Childer's analysis of the leak is likely spot on. And moreover, a leak is more convincing than a parchment stiff press release. As Childers says, Vance is now living rent free in the European 'leadership' psychic.

And isn’t it telling that he’s trying to gin up hostility toward a group of people that constitute .0000026% of our population, yet pay an unbelievably disproportionate amount of the total tax revenue collected each year? Personally, I don’t give a flip about the billionaire class. There are only about 750 of them in the US. I care far more about ensuring the lower and middle classes get an education, keep their families together, and take responsibility for their own welfare.

It's always a distraction operation for these dishonest 6% Bernie-types, and as Jeff mentioned, Koch brothers are EVIL Oligarchs, Soros and pals are saving global democracy. Why NOT just demand that all assets and wealth in excess of $1 Billion be confiscated in proportion by Fed, State, County. Municipality, and whatever special districts where the 2%ers claim as primary residence--NO Loopholes?

This would be honest Socialism, and for the greater good certainly, but the Political Hacks who gain their power and wealth by serving the 2% are ONLY brave enough to give lip service to that concept. They would destroy their careers and be penniless if they took action on their bullcrap Leftist rhetoric

Hilarious that a NON-Democrat has to step up to lead the Democratic Party; but will his brand of Fake Leftist-Populism sell now? Will the Dems remake their party around Bernie?

I get that Trump made MAGA as an alternate to RINO, but the generationally betrayed voter base was READY and WAITING for him. Bernie would have to dump most of his gravy train and try to conjure up a MA(GREEN)A movement that won't be at all competitive to anything else, and his energy, while excellent, will never match mega-MAGA Rally status, no matter how the Fake Media would attempt to portray it.

It was long & boring, attendees were falling asleep in their seats, newspapers covering their faces. All MSM declared Bill Clinton just killed any hopes he might have for higher office.

A Rabbi, A Hindu Priest, & A Politician Went On a Hike

Night fell and they were exhausted. The hotel on the map was nowhere to be seen. They knocked on the door of a farm and asked if they could spend the night. The farmer said, “Of course, but I only have a small room with two beds. One of you will have to sleep in the barn.”

The Hindu priest said, “I need no material comforts. I will gladly take the barn.”

The rabbi and the politician were settling in when they heard a knock on the door. They opened it to find the Hindu priest standing there. “So sorry, my friends, but there is a cow in the barn, and I cannot sleep beside such a holy animal.”

The rabbi said, “No problem, my brother. I’ll take the barn.

The Hindu priest and the politician were settling in when they heard a knock on the door. They opened it to find the rabbi standing there.

“So sorry, my friends, but there’s a pig in the barn, and I can’t sleep beside such an unholy animal.”

The politician said, “OK, let it be remembered that I sacrificed my comfort for the greater good.”

Politicians Visit a School

High ranking politicians visit a school. The top one goes over the expenses and decides to make adjustments to cut costs.

"The lunch portions are too big. Cut them in half. Internet connection too fast. Too many computers."

After that, they go to a preschool. Again, the expenses are too great.

"The lunch portions are too big. Reduce them to half. Too many toys around."

After the preschool, they go to a prison.

"The lunch portions are too small and the selection is too limited. Get faster broadband and more comfortable beds. TVs are too old. Get a few consoles as well."

One of them asks the leader, baffled:

“Are you mad? We just cut costs in schools and preschools, and now you do this?”

“My friend! We will never go to school or preschool again. But we can still easily end up here...”

A Politician Finds Himself at the Pearly Gates

A politician dies...

...and ends up at the pearly gates. St. Peter looks at him and finds his name in his book.

"So, you're a politician..."

"Well, yes. Is there a problem?"

"Oh no, there is no problem. But we have a policy for people in your profession, you have to spend a day each in heaven and hell and then you will be free to choose where you want to spend the rest of eternity."

"Why can't I choose now? Why do I have to spend a day in hell?"

"Well, that is the policy."

First, the politician spends a day in heaven. He sees angels singing and people playing harps. He finds heaven pretty descent.

Next, he spends a day in hell.

Upon arriving there he expects to see barren wastelands with rivers of lava and people being boiled alive, but instead sees lush greenery and a large five-star hotel in front of him. At the hotel entrance, he sees Satan wearing a tuxedo and sipping on a martini.

"This isn't what I expected hell to be."

"Oh, hell has been completely misrepresented. We have a luxury five-star hotel with seven-course meals prepared by the best chefs. And we have all the sporting facilities you could imagine with a very large pool. All this is for free."

So the politician spends the entire day playing golf and eating his meals by the poolside. At the end of the day, he sleeps in the most luxurious bed he could imagine in a very large suite. The next morning, when he wakes up, he is back at the pearly gates where St. Peter is waiting for him.

"So what will it be?"

"I can't believe I'm saying this, but I prefer hell."

So, the politician is transported back to hell, where he sees a barren wasteland illuminated only by the glow of rivers of lava and hears the screams of people being tortured. The air is full of the stench of sulphur. Once again he sees Satan in his tux.

"What happened to the hotel, the golf course, the pool and all the greenery I saw yesterday?"

"Well, yesterday we were campaigning, today you voted."

Those are such loony accusations against Trump and Elon.

Who got rid of that Now, on liberal news outlets those watching only get one side of a fake story. They may not even know social security will go bankrupt if something isn't done. Many politicians wanted to raise the qualifying age to 70 years old. Trump said he's not doing that. He's getting fake payments out of the fund so it doesn't go bankrupt. But who will tell this to your grandmother. Not the current new system. Get that fixed. I think its a bigger issue than anything else. Its caused wars, and covid lockdowns and more.

I don’t know how or why they didn’t want to banter about the punishment. I know in my household my sisters and I were always questioning and discussing. My dad always said as long as you’re respectful…fill in the blank. Empowered right?!? We didn’t just use it but we did use it. I remember on a few occasions asking and sure enough my dad backed me up. Empowering. Respectful. Maybe too much but my sisters and I are not doormats. We question. Discuss. I don’t know how you empower kids and not have those kids abuse it?!?

Had a similar experience with a seemingly normal program manager the other day. A smart woman, a problem solver, and quite level-headed (but late thirties, married, with no kids). She asked for my opinion on the business outlook, particularly in light of rich people now trying to steal everything. I pressed a little and (of course) she was just regurgitating everything she heard on the "news" and mainly meant Elon. Her knowledge of what was actually going on was entirely superficial, and she had never sought out any alternate sources of info but just believed, and acted on, what she was told.

I asked her how watching the news made her feel and it came out that it made here feel angry and fearful. So I followed up wondering why she would deliberately subject herself to something that continuously stoked her most unpleasant emotions. She didn't really have an answer for that but admitted it was not good for her and that she was trying to cut back. I then followed up with maybe it was just possible they are intentionally trying to make her angry and fearful as it gives them power and makes her easy to control. It was obvious she had never considered this possibility before, and hopefully a seed was planted.

Once people realize all this stuff around us is manufactured to make us angry and fearful, and intentionally manipulate emotions, it loses all power. People trying to make others angry and fearful are the scum of the earth, and the worst sort sociopaths. When I see people doing it it's like a scarlet letter that makes me never trust them again. We can discuss concerns and how we address them without intentionally riling people up to be their worst self.

This stuff is everywhere, and it's not just the Left. Fox News does routinely to their gullible Boomer audience. Lot's of "influencers" out there (particularly the show-boaters) do it all the time. But people are so used to being emotionally manipulated, and routinely doing it themselves to others, they think it's normal behavior. It's not, it's from the pit of Hell.

A friend‘s sister, a marine, had gotten a vaxx injury from something they gave her while active duty. She did not get the C jab. She had to go to the VA while she’s fighting her first vaccine injury. Has been in a law suit for years. They gave her the C jab she didn’t want. She Became paralyzed from the chest down and died shortly after. 🤬

Have you listened to the commercials for the Shingles Vaccine? GBS is stated as a potential side effect. Uh...no thank you.

I don't have a TV or listen to the radio.

Not sure what you mean.

I do see the signs in Target and CVS pushing the shingles vaccine.

And every time I go to the VA for a primary care appointment, the nurse will tell me I am due for the shingles shot. And every time I have to tell her that the shingles shot has a FDA black box warning on it. Always met with a blank look. So...she either doesn't know about the warning, or she has no idea what a black box warning is. So much for informed consent. And think about how many veterans go ahead and take the shot being totally unaware they could be harmed.

OMG........ make it stop Lord! I can't take it anymore. Ok I'm off here for awhile. I have to step away for a few days again. I'm so nauseous and distraught and enraged about it. They KNEW...... they knew and closed churches and small businesses while letting casinos, strip clubs and wal-mart stay open. God Bless and take care

They still have "wear your mask" on correspondence too. Who's in charge over there. It took hubby a whole year! after his cancer diagnosis to get the correct information so that he could APPLY! THAT COST US at least $10,000. 😭

Yes. His surgery was two years ago plus post radiation and basal Morhs. Who changes their lifestyle before it hurts? What man takes his wife's advice until his life is at stake. 🤭 I'm telling whoever is listening that low carb, ivermectin, dmso and vita c, eggplant can heal basal cell. And many other things like warts. I believe he's clean now but fighting the aftermath and doing it very well. Maybe I should have had a substack about all that but I ramble too much. 😝

I take a crystal form twice daily mixed with water. Organic Sulfur. 1and a half teaspoons morning and night. It stays in your system for 12 hrs.

Very bitter better tasting initially, but after a few weeks I stopped noticing.

Stopped joint pain (arthritis) and lots more energy.

I also take food grade calcium bentonite clay (1 tsp daily) and spirulina (1 tbs- done in two 1 and a half tsp doses daily)

I should add that in taking organic sulfur, one should start with a low dosage, say 1/2 tsp twice daily and increase over a couple of weeks.

It would be worth your while to look up Bloodroot Discussion Group on Facebook for info on Black Salve to treat basal cell and other 'cers.

So who is paying for Bernie and AOC to gallivant all over the country? The Democratic National Committee, whose members they are trashing? Their taxpayer-funding congressional office budgets? George Soros? George Clooney? I seriously doubt they are paying for it themselves. I think of Bernie semi-affectionately, like a crazy old uncle whom everyone in the family thinks should be in an institution, but can't be bothered to deal with so just they put up with him knowing he won't last much longer.

I vacillate between mild amusement and profound irritation when it comes to Bernie Sanders.
