News cycle crushed: Israel stuns with decapitation strike; Trump axes climate grift; Kennedy hints at healthcare overhaul; Newsom jumps the gun; BlueSky purity spiral imploding on cue; more.
I’m staying away from the other platforms. The C&C family is the best, not perfect, but the best and normally grounded. Praying for all the world and hopefully all the crazies and violent people takes away each others. GOD BLESS AMERICA AND THE WORLD.
Saw a clip of President Trump responding to a question about the No Kings thing. He said “I don’t feel like a king. I have to go through hell to get anything done.”
My parents always required “the take down” on New Year’s Day, the tree only having gone up near Christmas Eve. As an adult, and a mother, I chose to leave up the tree until well after Epiphany—though it still doesn’t go up until near Christmas Eve…. On the other hand, my childhood Christmases were essentially devoid of the the very reason for the celebration, despite all of us children having perfect attendance Sunday School awards. Because of that emptiness, I made sure to “run” a very different kind of Christmas celebration for my young family.
I once left up my Christmas tree for 2 years (artificial, of course). It was a lovely sight. Then, I went on a real tree binge for a couple of years. Starting this year, it's back to the artificial tree. Let's see how long this new tree stays decorated....
There's a local restaurant in our town that keeps theirs up but changes ornaments. Snowflakes and such in Jan, hearts and cupids in Feb., etc. We were in there last weekend and it was flip flops, sunglasses and smiling suns.
I keep my trees up year round and have for years. I don't care what people think. With all the horribleness and horrible people around, I can look at them and feel peace and joy. No one is allowed to change this for me. No one!
I think it was Boasberg who ordered that one. "Doesn't matter if their limbs and body parts are in mid-flight; they must be brought back!...and made whole."
I can assure you, this action by Israel is not funny, not even a little bit. The trump efforts have just taken at least TEN steps back. What shame. See what israel is capable of folks?destabilising the world. Congratulations to bibi and the people of Israel. You have successfully destabilised our lives and the world. great job🤬🤬🤬
I agree, while my friends were celebrating something that "had to happen" because Iran was so dangerous, I was saddened and concerned. This isn't good. There goes more of our tax dollars out the door to fund another war across the world. I know nothing is black and white, but this is dangerous and upsetting.
I just realized I can highlight a word and get a dictionary definition and pronunciation guide! How cool is that! So helpful when reading Jeff’s posts (and sometimes the responses). I look forward to these every day.
Pray for peace. The CCP has bought farmland around many American military bases, which could allow it to pull off a similar attack to Israel and Ukraine. We must stay vigilant. California is the BlueSky of states with Newsom, Bass, and Padilla competing for cringiest clown. Sadly they will be rewarded with cushy sinecures like all the other DNC commissars: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/biden-sinecure-fauci-nuland
100%. I hope Hegseth, Kash Patel and Tulsi are all over this. The odds that the CCP has secret drone bases near our Military bases is extremely high. Hezbollah sleeper cells in America could activated at any time. 1800 No Kings protest events on Saturday could be perfect cover for Mass Chaos.
And I will say one thing, if I am physically threatened at all in my car this weekend by violent protestors, I can assure you it will not take me 2 weeks to flatten the curve.
I didn't even think the follow up about it being illegal to run down people who get in your way needed to be said. I think common sense states there is something quite different than a line of people blocking the street, vs. someone on your hood with a crowbar taking it to your windshield, or similarly threating you on your driver's side window. If I felt boxed in and threatened then I would probably lay on the horn first and then slowly move forward while honking the horn, but fi the threat was imminent then all bets would be off.
I'm with you, they get "one honk" warning and I'm rolling. I have a CCW so I will be carrying in my car, if they decide to ignore and attack. My Bronco WILL WIN the match. 😉
As a kid in high school, someone attempted to stop me in his Ford Fiesta in my 1976 Ninety Eight Oldsmobile in the school parking lot. Picture an aircraft carrier pushing a dingy. I honked my horn and finally, slowly moved my car and began nudging his car forward. That is what I would do if a crowd of people were blocking the road. I would probably try to record it as well..me with my phone...honking the horn, and rolling down the window a little and yelling "this is a road and not a pedestrian crossing, please move."
And then I would slowly move forward, or if I could...drive around even if it meant driving on the grass.
Update: I would also add "listen, if you stay in the road, I will make contact with you. And if you flip out, that will be on you, not me."
You might think you deserve to be attacked, but America 🇺🇸 absolutely doesn’t deserve to be attacked. We are a wonderful country full of good people. Our people are some of the most generous and caring people on the planet.
If you hate America, move to China where they still practice slavery, eat dogs 🐶 at their yearly dog cook-out festivals and generally treat people like scum. Better yet, move to a country where they slaughter homosexuals or practice cannibalism. Since you might be a woman, why not move to a country which forces you to wear a burka? Move to England where you can be thrown in jail for a FB post for years. Where asking a nonnative immigrant to speak English is a hate crime.
Lots of wonderful places to live in this world 🌍 if you hate America. 🇺🇸 No country is perfect as long as there are humans in it, but there are far worse places to live than here.
Oh golly gee, I must be a rabid animal for defending the country and people that I love whilst you (the level-headed and calm one🤣😂🤣) feel America and Americans “deserve” to be attacked. I find your attitude sickening.
Defending homosexuals? Yikes! Why would you do that instead of curing them of their degenerate mental illness? America is the leader of spreading homo-propaganda across the world. Even now where in the midst of 'gay pride month'.
Generous and caring? Have you heard of Vietnam, Iraq, Libya, and Afghanistan (so much destroyed, thanks to USA).
This mindset is the reason America is going down the tubes.
I am not defending homosexuality. However, I don’t think that they should be murdered either.
🇺🇸 Americans are the most generous and caring people. You are referring to the money grabbing elites and defense contractors when you talk about war. While they have great power and disregard for human life, they are only a small percentage of the population.
🇺🇸 The soldiers fighting in the war -the ones that gave their limbs and lives did so for honorable reasons. My husband was a pilot in the Vietnam war. He did it because he wanted to preserve democracy and freedom. Again, he is just the average citizen trying to make the world a better place for everyone.
It’s your mindset -the one that hates and sneers at America that is ruining this country.
One doesn’t have to be all or nothing. But you’re confusing the elites with the average person. 🧍♀️
Do you honestly believe that the average American should be killed or maimed through an attack by another country because of what the elites have chosen to do?
Do you really hate the average American that much?
This reminds me of the leftists during covid. They convinced themselves that those who don’t wear masks or get jabbed are bad people who kill grandma. You can show them how wrong they were but they cling to the notion that they were right. I characterize it this way, to some people it is better to be wrong for the right (compassionate) reasons than to be right. Now substitute the parenthetical ‘compassionate’ with ‘patriotic’ in defense of USA war propagation and you have the same thing.
I wasn't involved in the destruction of Vietnam, Iraq, Libya, or Afghanistan. I don't participate in that mindset. Neither am I participating in "Pride" month. I don't "deserve" to "go down the tubes" with America.
Jeff called it with the Bluesky tards- may agree with 95% but that 5% not agreed upon and well, all hell breaks loose. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
I like your fire. We need a whole lot more of that throughout the Western world. Many forces seek to divide dislocate shame and demoralize westerners. If we cannot stand up for ourselves we are already lost. I’m done accommodating the elitist views espoused throughout the education system ironically by the most spoiled and pampered people on earth.
"WE". Are you referring to yourself and your loved ones? Did your family commit some heinous crime about which you carry guilt? Because you don't speak for me, Nancy. I don't "deserve this", nor does anyone in my family.
I'm always skeptical when someone uses the collective "we" in their speech and in their thought processes. Although "we" all have some things in common (life and the biological processes required to support it), a lot of similarities end there. "We", in your formulation, is as prejudicial a term as "they" as applied to a group of individuals who share a common faith, racial background or culture -- you cannot make meaningful statements about "they", other than very general observations about these obvious traits they share.
You may remember a few days ago here in the comments section a conversation about teenage drivers. While our group mostly agreed that teenage drivers are often irresponsible, bad at driving, and prone to wrecking (or at least denting) cars, some spoke up about their exceptional, respectful, responsible teenagers who are good drivers who know their limitations. This proves my point about "they", and if it were someone from that group talking about their group, any "we" statements would be similarly meaningless.
Moreover, after what I've observed about politics and sociology/sociopathy over the past decade or so, I maintain a distinct distance between "me" and "they" - "we" are NOT a thing. While I watch my idiot Facebook "friends" frothing at the mouth about "totalitarianism" over immigration enforcement and over Trump's every move, this distinction has become vividly clear. "We" may live on the same patch of ground, but I don't think "we" live in the same political system.
To sum up, as others have pointed out here, "We" don't deserve any common fate, whether you're talking about the state of California, the United States or the world at large. Some of us have striven to make our chunk of the planet a better place, and some have not. Some obviously do "deserve" some dire fate, but one should be careful when considering who those are, and why they are so deserving. It helps one to focus on maintaining core values and clarity of purpose during one's short time here.
International finance was always in control. Musk threatening Trump with Epstein triggered Trump support of attack on Iran. Today's theatre demonstrations is a distraction for the bombing. The Constitution is all that is available to the people and regularly under attack.
Anyone who is not really stupid can witness daily the corrupt and UN(american) actions of the "elected officials" ....Senate and House at the top, from both parties ! Dems are outspoken... but the Rinos are in the same game. And that is how the whole system , from the top down, has been corrupted. THEY are not the reprentatives of the good, caring american. Not one bit !
The sad thing is.......... many "good" people have chosen, unwittingly or not, to be part of the SWARM , for security and prestige. Little did most realize that WE were headed to where we are now . A real shitshow .
We are experiencing an amazing season of God’s mercy right now. (It could have been President Word Salad.) Praying daily we won’t waste it and for repentance in the church and revival in our high schools and universities.
We "deserve it" bc someone has to pay for the sins of the government, the spook-agencies and our parasite class? Most of us are GOOD people who only have a part in any of it under DURESS. Stop blaming the innocent for the crimes of the puppet masters.
Why on earth we don't (1) seize that property back (2) give an electron microscope level examination to every human and object on it is beyond my comprehension.
Beckadee pointed out that Blackstone is part owner (60%), but I remember the military’s objection to the sale because of CCP involvement. Back in the day, I remember being surprised that BO admin blocked a purchase near a military installation in AK.
Regarding concierge medicine: our experience does not mirror Jeff’s as far as affordability goes. Here in Richmond, Virginia it will cost a husband and wife about $6000 a year for access to a concierge service. And then, of course you have to pay for visits and lab work. The white glove service is very nice and extensive labs are nice too. One warning I would have is to watch out because concierge medicine does not mean “functional “. We have found many of the doctors very conventionally minded, pushing vaccines and pharmaceuticals. Caveat emptor!
It's getting better. I agree that depending on the area you live in concierge service can be hit or miss. We funded our HSA accounts to the max for years and now pay cash via these accounts whenever we need health care. Otherwise we avoid doctors and dentists and take care of our own health via better eating and homeopathic remedies etc. No more annual check ups and screening. We don't trust the current medical community at all.
My medical resources are Midwestern Doctor, Lies Are Unbekoming, & the FLCC. You will never go to a pharma trained doctor again because you will be better informed than the doctor. DMSO, chlorine dioxide, fenbendazole, ivermectin, vitamins, sunlight, timed eating/intermittent fasting, real whole foods are the prescription to a long healthy life.
Your points are all valid and this RN couldn’t agree more with the functional medicine approach. It’s too easy to stereotype concierge providers as functional, since so many of the latter have to practice within that model.
I will say, though, that even between allopathic providers, the concierge structure allows for more autonomy because concierge providers are paid by the patient, not a third party “carrier” (😒🙄). I’m looking forward to seeing more adoption of this model by doctors and patients so we can reduce the influence of insurance companies. Too many doctors base their decisions on protocols and what the payer will approve, instead of what they know about the patient and their presentation.
Many drs. during the plandemic, were called BY THE MAIN INSURANCE COMPANIES covering their hospitals, asked WHY they were using the extremely cheap HCQ and Ivermectin, (successfully!) and ordered to pivot to remdesiver (aka RUN-death-is-near) and ventilators. This made me think of hospitals like emission inspection machines. “Plug her up and let’s see what the MACHINE/APPARATUS tells us to fix”.
It’s no wonder why mid-level providers/physician extenders/advanced practice providers/(insert-euphemism-for-anything-just-short-of-an-MD-here) have become so prevalent. Anyone with a minimal amount of medical decision making capability can be spoon-fed a protocol. No need to pay a doctor for all that extra training.
Try Direct Primary Care instead. Here in Colorado, I have a doc who is $75/mo, and $15/mo for kids. Almost all services are performed in house. It’s awesome, personal, short wait times, and many visits can be done via tele health or even texts. He even offers plans for businesses to cut down on costs. I started using him pre-pandemic, and as long as I’m up CO, I’ll be a patient for life :).
I guess we are blessed in our area of Louisiana. We do it for $250 a year. Great pair of doctors. Don't push vaxs. Take their time with you and listen. Let you be in charge of your health care
I don't pay ANYTHING for health care since I purchased an Energy Density Frequency Medicine device. I use it for virtually everything caused by a virus, bacteria or parasite and it works in about 10 minutes. For a couple years of health care payments, anyone can have one.
And what is Jeff doing to insure for catastrophic care? I can self fund my day to day needs with my private pay integrative MD who practices functional medicine but he can’t help me with surgery for a hernia or hospital recovery from a horrific car accident. Unfortunately some sort of insurance is needed for these situations and the latter incident could be especially financially devastating.
We use a medical cost share called KnewHealth. We love it! It covers most preventative treatment and offers catastrophic coverage. Labs are so much less expensive because we go direct through them.
Alabama isn't based on what I just searched. They do require min 25k liability insurance but since AL doesn't seem to be too worried about people driving around without license tags how they enforce that who the hell knows. lol.
Kathleen, you might be interested in this video. You get a shoutout around start around the 10 min mark if short on time. She’s reading an article JRK Jr did with Richard Mellon Schaife in 1999 re Clinton. Considering he’s from your area you’ve likely seen this.
Chris Ruddy broke the story about Ron Brown's mishandled death investigation in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review owned by Richard Mellon Scaife. When I was threatened by the military, I was asked if I knew Scaife.
Not much chance of me hanging out with a billionaire.
only if you pay for that option with your car insurer. It’s not free or automatically included in most states. It also doesn’t cover very much in terms of dollar amount.
We did increase our medical expense coverage on our auto policies. In case of car crashes etc. In Pennsylvania, you go thru that coverage before your own health insurance.
Catastrophic health care needs such as surgery are handled by local hospitals at a much lower rate without insurance. It's illegal for them to refuse patients in WA state. Then, payments are less than insurance. Frequency Medicine handles all illness much faster than ANY doctor.
My concierge docs (two experiences) cost more than $1300/year and still charged insurance. One of them fired me for refusing to get vaxxed and not following her directions when I came down with Covid. (Instead I took HCQ and recovered quickly). Good concept but still a few wrinkles.
I found a holistic MD in my area. I heard that the AMA kept naturopathic physicians out of Florida. Maybe it is time for our legislature to revisit that concept.
I don't know anyone who trusts the medical doctors anymore. Verify and then Trust.
I am afraid to even go to a doctor anymore. My daughter's pediatrician tried to push the Covid shot on her. The local "functional" medicine doctor in our area told everyone to get the jabs right on their website. For now I am trying to just get myself as healthy as I can be without a doctor.
Me too! In 2021 I was bitten by a dog, it was pretty bad, treated it myself as I was more afraid of health care. ( I have No medical knowledge) I also cut my thumb to the bone 😬 that was also tricky healing but I survived. I cannot trust drs.
We just left our long time doctor. She was great- common sense- until the practice went "corporate." Now you get 10 minutes and several of those are where the practitioner is figuring out how many boxes on the form to check to run up the insurance bill.
It’s expensive here in Central New York as well. And it doesn’t cover everything. My solution is not to go to the doctor at all, if I can possibly help it.
The ones I've seen near-ish us in DFW are on par with that as well. I'll have to look up a couple of the other suggestions below. The concept is nice, but not at that price point. :/
Agree. My experience was that concierge cost between $3000-$6000 for just ME, and I learned the hard way that the less expensive plan did not allow me an emergency visit for a heinous attack of shingles.
My question is about how one obtains catastrophic insurance. Does that even exist? I would certainly prefer an [affordable] concierge practice, but we don’t want to be without coverage if something terrible happened and we needed the allopathic care for an emergency.
My husband and I have the best concierge doctors! They prescribed ivermectin when my husband had covid. (We have a compounding pharmacy nearby). My doctor talks to me for at least an hour when I visit. She actually diagnosed my sister’s kidney disease because she is detail oriented and ran more labs quickly to double check. I thank God for these physicians. My doctor actually reads The Forgotten Side of Medicine Substack! And she recommends DMSO! It’s worth every penny for our monthly “coop” fee!!
The Midwestern Doctor substack is great too. I recommend looking for a naturpathic doctor. At least they are willing to look at causes and cures outside of the pharma box.
Check out Well Being by Design. This Naturopathic Doctor actually knows how the body is supposed to work and can make recommendations for diet and supplements that really help.
Where do we go about looking for this? I'm all for cheaper and would love to start this once hubby gets a job. It's been over a year and still no dice. He's very disheartened. It's really hard for a middle-aged white male to get a job. Even minimum wage jobs won't hire him. We're about to hit a brick wall financially and can't see or pray a way out of it.
During the 70’s my husband and I went through something similar. It’s a long complicated story, but we trusted God to work it out for good and He did! My husband’s volunteer work during those tough times turned into employment.
Hang in there. The "real" economy has been in a funk, and Obamacare destroyed the health insurance market for individuals (while subsidizing the insurers).
Health care options vary by locale, but hopefully a rising tide will soon lift the private economy with better job opportunities. 🤞
4-5x covid jabbed hubs of 39 years. He is extremely intelligent (other than the recent far left-newly liberal disease and covidiot condition he strongly believes in!) He was making high 5 to 6 figures each time he was unemployed— 1st time, 17 months. We had 2 young kids. Next time was during the Obama - depression and lasted 23 months. We had 3 kids. I was a stay home mom after having taught school for a few years.
This last time was 33 months. He was recently working for AUTOLIV out of Utah. He liked it but left. He’s 62 and just started working with CISCO, which he adores!
HANG IN THERE. It could be worse. Your hubs could be nearing retirement age and recently turned liberal and nearly worship that evil elf, Fauci, shedding vaccine crap all over the place, voting for Cackling Kamala. SOS! I’m sending up PRAYERS for you.
lol I keep telling myself someone always has it worse. I was a stay at home mom the whole time. Last year I did a 1 year stint as a teacher in a Montessori school to help slow the drain on our savings, but that was torture for me and even though they want me back, I desperately do NOT want to go (had so many health issues due to stress the admin brought on). I'm taking real estate classes atm hoping maybe I can pass the test and try that route, along with taking bookkeeping classes. Anything to have a bigger net to spread and do something to tide us over until he gets something.
Truly— hang in there. We went from kids in homeschool/private schools and I’m the teacher and after school activities driver to literal food stamps. It was surreallllll going from driving to tennis lessons and the barn for horseback riding lessons to the welfare office. I once accidentally went there in my Polo Club (not Ralph Lauren// an actual polo club) shirt with the logo on front, back and sleeves! I didn’t play polo there; I WORKED there, but I felt tactless wearing that in that awful, depressing place. You’ll land on your feet. My own dad went through a similar thing growing up. He was an executive but wound up with his own exterminator company. He made a lot of $$ spraying bugs. He got the idea for doing that from Corrie Ten Boom’s book, The Hiding Place. The Nazi guards wouldn’t come into their barracks and beat them for Bible study on account of all the fleas. They learned to be grateful for the fleas which allowed them to study the bible and worship. THAT is what drove my dad into being an exterminator during his lengthy lay off!
Again, HANG in there!! And don’t be afraid to take advantage of food stamps and whatever else is available to you. You’ve paid into the system for that reason. Friend’s kids went through college in food stamps for the same reason. They had to pay tuition but the stamps were a boost.
I am familiar with the Hiding Place. My daughter played Corrie ten Boom in the school play this past May. God moves us in mysterious ways. Hubby is open to pretty much anything right now, going to interviews for mechanic positions, construction, etc. when all he's ever done is analytics and computer programming. Can't say he isn't trying, just nothing is sticking.
I now run a little barn and do wedding flowers, planning and decor. It’s basically 2 side hustles, but easier than getting geared up to go back to teaching after decades away. Praying for your fam!
I have enough of an issue dealing with those indoctrinated into the narrative on X, but I can always close the window and go on with my day. But to be subjected to a one of them on a daily basis would be another thing entirely.
It’s a rriak. Some days I am able to “count it all joy” and some days I retreat inward. Most of the time I am
a bit of a Pollyanna and can think on the things that are good and lovely and of good report. On occasion, I could do some real damage! here in Clown World. 😬😜
Yes, several. We've tried locally, remotely, entry level jobs, what he's done before. He's had a few interviews, but usually it all ends in either a no or being ghosted. He's a smart, hard-working, dependable guy, but nothing is panning out. We've been mostly positive this whole time so the kids don't worry, but it's getting harder to be that way and he's now feeling like there must be something wrong with him since no one will hire him. It's just hard right now for all of us.
There is nothing wrong with him, it’s ageism in the workplace. The same thing is happening to me, a white middle-aged female. We cost them so much in healthcare and our experience comes with higher salary. This is why they post jobs that require 10+ years experience for an entry level salary. The hiring process was already broken before the economy tanked. Ghosting is now expected.
Yes, ageism is alive and well. He's doomed the way things are now, white, middle-aged male does not check off any boxes in favor of hiring. He just hit 50 so I know that's a contributing factor.
Please do not say doomed. Stay positive and engage in activities that lift the spirit. I now have lots of time to spend with my 85 year old mom and I know I will be thankful for that when she is gone.
Same experience here as a middle aged white woman in Seattle. Many doors closing for no apparent reason - so I’m looking into providing services directly to customers. Others have done so & succeeded.
It's hard not to feel that something is wrong with you if you don't get hired. I've had trouble getting jobs for years now as well. I work on Upwork as a freelancer, and the jobs on there for my line of work are usually offering ridiculously low wages for quite a bit of work. It really gets ridiculous when they have a long list of requirements and offer a wage you would feel embarrassed to offer a kid for mowing the lawn.
I think what it depends on is "who you know" rather than "what you know." Because it appears to me a lot of businesses are looking for people who will work. And it also appears to me that a lot of people in the workforce have a new ethic post Covid where they don't want to work, using sickness as a way to stay home a few days a week (I could be wrong.)
So we must think of new ways to get our names in the right networks.
There will always be those who have it worse. I doon't think it is hard for a middle-aged white male to get a job, you just have to be connected to the right people. For me it "feels" nearly impossible to get employment and most of my work is freelance on Upwork. But I bet if I knew successful people and could make inroads with them, that would change, but it would have to be something organic and authentic and not a contrived reason just to get hired.
I watched the Mark Cuban interview with Rav on "The Illusion of consensus" and Cuban is correct, that people who hire use the "path of least resistance" and will usually hire by asking friends if they know anyone who are qualified. They probably post jobs on Indeed and similar work sites simply to play lip service to "diversity" in saying that their net was cast wide...and just by coincidence, they hired the friend of their friend who is a CEO of another Fortune 500 company.
My friend has terrible varicose veins and it has worked for her. I guess your mileage may vary. Are you using it full strength or have you diluted it? Are you using it topically or internally? Have you read A Midwestern Doctor's posts on DMSO? There is a book also from Amanda Vollmer called Healing with DMSO on Amazon. It gives details on how to use it.
Thank you! Actually I think it has helped a bit. I'm just lamenting the loss of my once fabulous legs! But they're still fabulous! They may creak and groan a bit but they happily take me where I want to go, Grateful for these still fabulous legs!
I totally understand! It’s tough to accept changes to our body as we age. But your attitude is spot on. Things could be much worse. Have a blessed day!
I have not tried it yet, but there are a ton of reports from people who say it is a miracle cure for many things. It can be used topically or intravenously.
I just cured (within four hours) a sudden ear infection that had me nauseous and dizzy on the floor two days ago with only two applications of DMSO and home brewed CS (ionic silver) drops in my affected ear! The stuff amazes me again and again...
Could you please explain exactly what you did? I am going through this now( I believe that it's an ear infection)? I have DMSO gel and also 99% liquid DMSO. I also have collodial silver. Just not sure how to use. Thank you in advance.
I put one drop of each (DMSO 100%, and CS) in the ear that was starting to hurt and placed a bean bag that had been heated in microwave for a minute on it (while keeping ear upright so solution would stay inside) and kept repeating this (warming) for a few hours. After a while I noticed my eustachian tube drained and nausea and dizziness went away. I followed up with repeat solution treatment again after four hours and have been feeling better since. You can use a heating pad instead of a bean bag. Hope this works for someone else...
For anyone with a skin cancer (not melanoma but SCC/BCC), Curederm is natural and has great reports. Just started using it for AK's and it is great. Not inexpensive but may work for someone who can't or does not want MOHS or radiation.
I have come to the conclusion that DMSO is great when it works. Sometimes it just doesn't. A nurse once said of my dad's medication for Alzheimer's, "Some medications just don't 'take' on some people. If they work with one person, great. Doesn't mean it will with everyone." It worked wonderfully on a wound on my dog. I'm using it for lots of other little things, looking to see where it "takes." Some of my friends swear by particular supplements and tell me how differently they feel; when I take the same for months, I notice no changes whatsoever. That's how I look at DMSO--try it and see it if takes.
Actually DMSO has been brought to the forefront by A Midwestern Doctor as a forgotten medicine. It’s been around for over 50 years and FDA refused to approve it except for interstitial cystitis.
Apparently it works for most people, but not for everyone, nor for everything. Then again, sometimes it doesn’t work because of factors that can be addressed. You need to consult an expert on DMSO to know, and where are they?
They are "Direct Primary Care" physicians. We found ours because I knew them from our community. Our group had a waiting list for months and months. They have added more PAs and physicians to their practice. Word of mouth is probably their best advertising.
Wow, I’m near the triangle and have had zero luck finding a concierge doctor. It has been a struggle. I had it before when I lived in CT but I think the costs are so high it isn’t practical for most. It did help me, though, during covid.
what about a consult with Dr. Kory's Leading Edge Clinic via telemedicine-use is partner who is not a doc but has fantastic experience. don't give up Pat please.
Have you checked out Dr Makis? He keeps posting Substack articles about curing lymphoma. It’s behind a paywall but you can just pay for a short time. His fees are super reasonable. ❤️ Take care.
Not giving up. For the moment, I may still be in remission. Let's just say I've become very discerning about health care. And I think I'm the best source of that care.
I simply don't share this fear of death that seems to drive so many people. I don't court it; but I don't run either. I should be dead several times over between health issues and my flying (flying a sailplane in the mountains-or anywhere!)which is a bit out there on the risk spectrum. I've had a mostly glorious although not easy life and I will continue that trajectory for the foreseeable future. Remember: No one gets out alive (yes, I'm a zero hedge reader!)
You have to the correct perspective which nowadays is too often missing. As long as you are right with Jesus live well and leave your health and destiny to Him. If He takes you, you still win.
I like RFK Jr’s ideas and I want Climate agendas zapped. That means solar farms, (they are not farms), wind turbines, unfunded by our money. I want them to go after the spraying of chemtrails and other geo engineering. They have been controlling our weather for too long.
In my large rural Illinois county, there is a "solar farm", that was subsidized by federal money, that took out of production hundreds of acres of some of the best "black dirt" in the state. Once these things are installed it will be nearly impossible to force them to remove it, same with those worthless, unsightly and deadly wind turbines.
Yes, I read that many pine forests in the Northeast are being cut down for solar "farms". Put the solar panels on top of urban buildings. Cutting down trees that produce oxygen and reduce CO2 to "save the planet" is just asinine.
And the amount of resources and pollution it takes to make and dispose of these things make them completely against cause. An utter waste, start to finish.
They sterilize the ground when they install a solar farm, so they don’t have to worry about growing things interfering with the arrays. Even if they removed the panels, the ground would be useless for farming for GENERATIONS. People need to know this so they can push back on it when it comes to their county.
I have to disagree here a bit. I have a solar farm planned for a mile from my home on 1700 acres of farmland. I have been attending township board meetings for the last two years trying to stop it. The company building the solar farm has very specific land regulations they have to hit. One is a type of ground cover that can be mowed periodically, along with berms and tree plantings. Fencing has to be in place and runways left for deer. Out of 1700 acres, only 797 is planned to contain actual panels. My objection is this company will sell the leases within 5 years, and they will be resold and resold. There is a large amount they have pledged in escrow that if the panels are abandoned for any reason, the land must be returned to it’s previous state. We all know that once those panels go in, they will not be removed…ever. They were scheduled to start construction, first this spring, then mid summer, and now perhaps fall. The ground has all now been planted. I am desperately hoping that with the new administration all this federal funding dries up and this project is abandoned. These pop up solar companies will disappear.
Exactly. Each fall we have to park down the driveway, near the street, during walnut drop. Two mature trees. The one beside the drive (which also gave nuts of considerable larger size) was taken down in March, but those nuts still travel a distance so I imagine we’ll have to continue our protective operations. It’s a great pity that we do not enjoy the taste of all that free protein (but darned hard to get at).
Yuck. Yes that soil is the best. Stupid to waste it. Also downstate has clusters of those obnoxious wind turbines. They usually just sit there not moving.
Did you know that those turbines require fossil fuels to begin turning? The wind won’t start them. I learned this recently in an online discussion about the “wind” turbines in Europe. Run by the fuel they claim to hate.
not to mention that more CO2, aka plant food, is actually good for the planet and it's inhabitants (see CO2 Coalition website for more info.). The whole man made climate change narrative, like most other left wing narratives, is built on a pure fraud.
Trump will need to acknowledge the 2023 White House report on SRM instead of just archiving Biden’s plan. This is the most current federal plan, which identifies USGCRP web of gov entities implementing the SRM technology. It’s very concerning that RFK Jr is going around claiming DARPA and disregarding this explicit designation of USGCRP involvement as well as the documented academia institutions involved in “research.” It’s time to open an investigation.
“The Federal government conducts or funds limited research into SRM. Congress has directed NOAA to fund SRM research as part of its Earth’s Radiation Budget Program for the last several years. This supports several observational and modeling activities in NOAA, NASA, and with partner organizations (e.g., the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, NOAA Cooperative Institutes, and academia).” Pg43
And most people don’t know what USGCRP is. Why get rid of a website and not address this group?
“USGCRP facilitates collaboration and cooperation across 15 federal member agencies to advance a whole-of-government response to global environmental change.”
Agencies:
USDA, DOC, DOD, DOE, HHS, DHS, HUD, DOI, DOS, DOT, EPA, NASA, NSF, Smithsonian Institution, and the USAID
During his recent interview with Joe Rogan, Director Patel said that Biden’s first priority for the military was climate change. The DOD’s involvement in climate change was news to me.
Military, or secret military (DARPA), is doing the chemtrail spraying. That’s why state legislature such as in AZ or FL have had zero effect in ceasing the spraying.
i propose mandated Atmospheric Particulate Emissions reporting; pure data of what's being pumped into or blowing through a state's skies daily. ALL sources cumulative crud to be public info and REQUIRED analysis
Starsky, unfortunately you are correct. States can’t usurp federal power. The simple fact that stratospheric injections of chemicals in one place affects other places means that even one country can still be affected by the effects of what another country has done. What is needed is global cooperation. Good luck with that.
This is a great interview of Catherine Austin Fitts (a Christian). Lots of info, but the first half is about the building of the financial "grid" to usher in total financial control (aka the Beast system), but in the 2d half, she talks about how the .gov is poisoning the population.....(Spoiler Alert) to reduce the burden on the Social Security fund, among other reasons......for which the beneficiaries will pay (with their lives) as of result of the .gov having pillaged the fund for DECADES.
🎯🎯🎯 Barium, Strontium, and Aluminum are being tested currently in an effort to accumulate data on how to reduce global temperatures. It needs to be defunded as a DoD program.
I don't have a problem with "solar farms" - but ... put them as covered parking in existing parking lots, not over good farmland. Or put them over desert where there's nothing else there.
No. Do not cover the beautiful desert, which is teeming with wildlife, not to mention ranch grazing, with these bird-burning, destructive and pointless solar arrays. Put them in downtown Phoenix, on parking garages & lots, or create shady, covered sidewalks.
Yes, smart ... as they take valuable farmland out of production ... as their erratic and unreliable KW output jerks baseload capacity around ... as their deployment benefits greenscam lobbyists, governing officials, and investors. Smart, indeed.
Lithium is often extracted by using a lot of freshwater to create a brine of lithium salts which is then evaporated out to get the lithium. So even though it's not exploiting children, it is using vast amounts of fresh water often in arid areas where water is already at a premium. In Chile, water is being used for lithium extraction and being taken from the farmers in the areas. So it's still an ecologically destructive practice.
Like cobalt, which is in all of our smartphones to extend battery life. It is mined by slaves and children and the market is controlled by the CCP. Read the book Cobalt Red for the whole sordid story.
I would guess that most cities do not have solar on their rooftops except in small places. I didn't say that solar is bad. I said it has it's place and on roof tops is where it belongs and I've seen it used in parking lots where cars can still be parked under the panels. You may see it on some homes but that isn't stopping money-ed interests from buying up land to put up their panels because the gov't was handing out lots of cash to build them. The subsidies to put them anywhere is driving the land clearing.
Because we (unlike the green crowd) understand that solar is NOT suited for baseload, and do not mandate that reliable natgas and nuclear plants be mothballed because Gaia. There is a place for solar, as Cousin Clem says: on your own roof providing you your own power. Spend a few years in the power generation business and you'll see the truth in this argument.
I have liked the idea of solar panels for home use for many years. There is definitely a place for solar, but not on valuable farmland. Here in my area of Illinois we have had two sunny days this week. Today is cloudy and rainy. Even my cousin who owns farmland here commented to me about the lack of sun affecting the newly planted crops this Spring.
Monday, drove past a business on Rte 1, Wiscasset, mid-coast Maine, with a solar panel array over its extensive roof. Roof facing east. Other side of the road: forest. This means (from my own experience in neighborhood) that in winter, when northern sun is so very low in the sky, that sun will hardly climb above those trees until well into the day. Cost versus value?
Really? When most of these not wonderful, not actually farms, solar farms are being put in, in the Midwest where we have winter. Long, dark nights and little sun. Michigan is the second cloudiest state in the Union, and there are hundreds of these projects going, all federally subsidized. No one wants them, but they are paying farmers more to “lease” their land than they can make farming. How many solar farms do you have in your neighborhood?
A few years back I saw a grasshopper in a water bowl we left out for our dogs. I thought it very unusual and didn't know why a grasshopper would drown itself. A few minutes later I saw a worm wriggle out from the grasshopper. Turns out, grasshoppers infected with a certain type of larvae are driven to "commit suicide by drowning" when the larvae hatch are want to be released.
The Democrat party has jumped into the bowl of TDS water. Now I'm waiting to see what type of worms emerge from the liberal philosophies.
I’m planning to stay out in the burbs this weekend as I’m guessing the blue city will have protests. They probably won’t get out this far, especially since the main road is in construction putting green space in the middle of the very busy road YAY! (it is Michigan, ya know, and warm weather brings out the yellow cones to “fix the damn roads”).
I can top that - you would think SANDY HOOK CT would stay away from this sort of incitement but there’s a no kings rally scheduled for Newtown tomorrow. These people are angry evil vile devils
I'm in central TX, not far from Kerrville which has a lot of retirees. I may drive out there for the entertainment value. I may try to entice the protesters away with a bocce ball court.
I'd think with a cow catcher you can just plow ahead, with little fear of running people over. Some actively might work at rolling back under the car, though.
The Israeli attack on Iran was similar to the recent one by Ukraine on Russia, where they had guys with drones staged throughout Iran and flew them into radars and defense bases across Iran before the main missile waves came from Israel itself.
Very effective. However this tactic will be used on western assets soon enough. Buckle up.
Tucker published this Commentary this morning...............................
Drop Them
“From this day forward, it’s going to be only America first. America first.”
That’s a direct quote from Donald Trump’s first inaugural address, and it’s the same sentiment that thrust him back into the White House in January. Now, the world will find out if he really meant it.
Now that Benjamin Netanyahu and his war-hungry government have executed their long-awaited assault, the president faces a legacy-altering decision: to support, or not to support?
We’d like to take this opportunity to state our position as clearly as possible. The United States should not at any level participate in a war with Iran. No funding, no American weapons, no troops on the ground. Regardless of what our “special ally” says, a fight with the Iranians has nothing to offer the United States. It is not in our national interest.
If Israel wants to wage this war, it has every right to do so. It is a sovereign country, and it can do as it pleases. But not with America’s backing. At an absolute minimum, the United States continuing to insert itself in this conflict will further whip up the radical Islamic world’s hatred for the West and fuel the next generation of terrorism. The worst case? Thousands of immediate American deaths, all in the name of a foreign agenda that has nothing to do with our country.
It goes without saying that neither of those possibilities would be beneficial for the United States. But there is another option: drop Israel. Let them fight their own wars.
No matter how many bogus antisemitism allegations neocon ghouls like Mark Levin hurl at Americans who advocate for that path, opposing destroying the United States in the name of the Netanyahu government has nothing to do with Israel. It’s about America. We reject the idea of involving the U.S. in an Israeli war for the same reason we would stand against doing the same thing on behalf of Eritrea, Suriname, Cambodia, or any other random country you could close your eyes and point at on a map. It is not America’s fight. Engaging in it would be a middle finger in the faces of the millions of voters who cast their ballots in hopes of creating a government that would finally put the United States first. What happens next will define Donald Trump’s presidency.
I'm impressed by HOW WRONG Tucker gets it regularly... it's like he's made up his mind on an issue, and then goes out to interview those who share his position...
Jeffrey Sachs??? same but on a global scale... for all his education, he doesn't know the history of the Middle East...
Our country has demonstrated to the world that we cannot be trusted. Such a sad day. I didn’t vote for this!!!
Lindsay Graham and the other neocon Zionists are thrilled right now.
Here is my take: if you support this war, suit up and prepare to report for combat duty— and be prepared to commit any military age children you have to do the same.
Just like Europe, the whole point IS the war. NATO, EU and Netanyahu.... they only retain power if the go to war. Peace would bring about their fall. We are about to find out where Trump's loyalties lie.
BFM, if talks were planned for Sunday, why could this attack not have been put off a few days? Perhaps they would have come to an agreement this time around.
The unthankful heart... discovers no mercies; but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and, as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings! ~Henry Ward Beecher
The nasty leftist trolls are offering a good solution to the bluesky harpies - offing themselves. Think of the environment with one less carbon producing harpy. 😉 All joking aside, these lefties are unhappy nasty people. I can't stand them and have lost my patience or sympathy for them.
After Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy on Tuesday fired the CDC’s entire vaccine panel—a committee of 17 virologists, immunologists, and researchers that advises the government on vaccine safety—US Army Criminal Investigation agents showed up at five members’ homes with judicial and military arrest warrants.
According to a White Hat source, CID had foreknowledge of the firings, and the arrests had been timed to coincide with the terminations.
While he wouldn’t name those apprehended, he did say CID caught three men and two women, all agency veterans who had been on the advisory panel for at least eight years, and all of whom are guilty of destroying government documents that correlated COVID-19 vaccinations with a marked increase in coronary deaths, immune deficiency disorders, and cases of sudden onset epilepsy.
When Kennedy took over HHS, which manages the CDC, he tasked computer scientists and data recovery experts with discreetly performing digital forensics on the advisory panel’s workstations at CDC headquarters in Atlanta.
President Trump and Kennedy, he added, had handpicked trustworthy analysts who had visited the panel’s offices in the dead of night and cloned hard drives and other storage devices.
Like many government entities, the CDC still uses antiquated hardware, such as hard drives with spinning platters and USB thumb drives.
Between May 15 and June 1, our source said, the analysts completed several forays into the CDC’s headquarters and found a treasure trove of incriminatory data.
“I’m not a technical guy, so I don’t understand how and all what they did, but they figured out, by login IDs, that these guys, the CDC bastards, extensively documented, then deleted, reams and reams of data on adverse vaccine side effects. Apparently, they didn’t do a decent job at deleting it because it was recoverable. They wanted to hide the truth.”
The analysts, he added, identified five individuals who had written and deleted data in 2020 and 2021.
“Secretary Kennedy gave the info to President Trump, and he ordered CID to handle the arrests,” our source said.
Although we don’t have specific details about the arrests, we’ve been told they occurred yesterday afternoon and evening. If we get elucidating info, we’ll post a follow-up.
“Even if only five of them are guilty,” our source said in closing. “Kennedy had to disband the entire team, in case they’re all corrupt.”
2 comments - from a personal defense/firearms instructor.
1. Don't make any comments about carrying or, ".
I have .357 reasons the protesters won't bother me...etc..etc." on any social media. Because if, coincidentally you're unfortunately implicated in a shooting...guess what? Any good attorney will dig up those comments, made in jest or not....shhh.
2. The best defense against the rioters? Learn where they are and avoid at all costs. Let them have their lunacy-fest.
Well, people with families should probably not bring their families to the riots. Hopefully, it will only be stupid people who do this, and improve the gene pool by doing so.
They are not being advertised as protest events. The one in the next town over from us is being presented as a community fair - I forget the exact verbiage . . .
Not here. Saturday was "No Kings" day. What a dumb idea.
I was on my way to my nephew's wedding in Chico (4 hours away) on Saturday morning and was delayed by 50 or so of these morons massed at a busy intersection less than a mile from my house. They were screwing up traffic and the chickenshits who couldn't be bothered to come out and hold a sign were "honking in support" as they drove by (contributing to the ambient noise pollution), and then 2 morons making left turns across my lane got stuck in the middle of the intersection, blocking my way, because protestors decided to cross the intersection against the light.
I certainly wasn't going to honk out of solidarity, but when the traffic snarl they created blocked my passage, I laid into my horn and didn't let up until these dipshits got out of my way - about a minute or more. I was hoping I was making the protestors at least as uncomfortable as they made me by delaying my progress. It made my wife a little pissy for a while (she didn't like the horn - I was wishing it was a lot louder), but she got over it after a little while.
Probably not very "mature". But at least "my voice was heard" - like they were hoping for. I think mine had more of an effect.
The gal babysitting my wife's cat while we were gone - an ex-next-door-neighbor who is very nice, very liberal, and not exactly the most informed voter to put it mildly, left a note on the counter - "the protest was great!"... Not from my point of view...
I'm surrounded by older white liberal Trump-deranged dipshits here in Northern Cali...
But when we got into the San Joaquin Valley farm country, we were in California MAGA country. The underpopulated central and eastern areas of the state are more conservative. It's the urban coastal areas (where I live) where the idiot libs teem. It's also the temperate climate, most beautiful scenery (besides the southern Cascades and the Sierra) and the priciest real estate.
I keep telling myself I have to get out of here, but I live in a great place and I have a good job, one that I'm not sure I could find elsewhere at my age. So I'm trapped between living among my enemies and facing an uncertain future in an unfamiliar place, away from the few family members I have left.
My cousin did tell me she has a time share in Captiva/Sanabel in Florida and they bought a vacation home in St. Joe. If we can make it there, it would be nice to meet up with some of our Florida friends!
Let them go. If they can't rationalize that the entire "No Kings," is a ploy.... like "hands up, can't breathe," then you'll not get through to them. Just keep yourself and your kids safe....
We should not be afraid bc some libtard so called attorney digs something up. Screw them. If we are attacked, down they go. Period. Us or them and won't be us.
Not covered today a couple of topics I'm not happy about. #1- amnesty for illegals in farm/hotel areas. This is a slippery slope and NOT America first. Deport all illegals should still be the goal and they NEED to fine the companies that employ them. There are many farms that are American employees only and they do just fine. #2- letting 500k Chinese over here to go to school. How about no? We've seen what happens (Harvard), let's not continue.
Actually the farm system is in a bad way. I live rural, but apparently most farms are surviving with government subsidies. Many farmers need day jobs and ever expanding expansion of acreage to try to finish ahead. By far the main crops are corn and soy ( both of which are put to hugely problematic uses). The majority of farmers do not get to enjoy the profit of their labors. Instead there are mega businesses which take the fruit of their labor, giving them a pretty low price, and turning it around to sell for a more generous profit for them. So many farmers feel squeezed and needing to continually find ways to up production... Meanwhile they often have massive loans on the line, for expensive equipment and such, and stand to lose everything. I personally think the human trafficking happening with immigrants takes advantage of the current system which is not humane to farmers, and of course this system will not be humane to the imported labor. We just had a dairy farmer in MN who was not paying workers. There was a meat packing plant seen to have children working. The production demands get passed on to immigrants who are afraid to complain, and they're ending up in the medical system which is the last place before they're thrown in the heap after they find they have life-disabling injuries that cannot be undone.
:( so this makes it even more desirable for me to want no amnesty for illegals, it would just keep propping up something that needs a total overhaul that uses and abuses both illegals and farmers.
I am trying to figure out how to express it best, but I think you're on the right track. There are a lot of pieces fit to, dependent upon, and actively perpetuating a bad system. But, if I'm inclined to try to name the bad actors, who are they? I think certainly these monopolized industries like the meat packing companies who make a huge profit off of shorting farmers which forces them to grow feeder meat fed on cheap glyphosate covered corn, raising line speeds and other inhumane work conditions to up productivity, and actively employing a work force which is easy to use and abuse. Our small local butchers do not run a business which systematically and necessarily requires using up human beings until they are too physically damaged to work.
Obviously in this case e-verify is not addressing the widespread ssn identity theft by people using the strategy that has been used so commonly and by so many so as to probably feel normalized. I don't know that for sure, but I am guessing that is what is happening. So, the government needs to close off all of the incentive loops.
What I do not agree with in a common narrative is the conflating of unpapered immigrants with the full extent of moral blaming, just as I did not agree with the pejorative treatment of the unpapered who did not get the shots. I know a lot of unpapered people, and there are many good neighbors amongst them, just as amongst, say, the readership here. As with many things, each person's piece of responsibility is fitting to them, and is unlikely to be entire. Within all of this, I tend to imagine that we are more alike and better suited as mutually supportive than not. I doubt anyone wants to fight to perpetuate what is in effect human trafficking that has fallout for everyone, and of course for those whose lack of papers makes them easy to be used to many an end.
What is cruel and unusual is asking American citizens to fund many millions of illegal parasites, and to excuse their criminality and hatred of America.
You woke scumbags that despise America are despicable turds. I hope you are all jabbed and fully boosted...
I don't blame them, he has the momentum of more people backing deportations due to LA riots and he's going to back down? Bad enough anchor babies give amnesty, we don't need any other type. If he's going to be America first, then we need to go through the pains of what we have to in order to BE America first. It was hard for the south to go without slaves, but they figured it out eventually.
Agree. Trump is not the strong, principled man he claims to be.
FWIW — Charlie Kirk was running X polls last night on Israel’s war against Iran, and responses were running 85% against Israel, and against US backing up Israel. And his followers are huge MAGA Trump supporters.
“Progressives had the sympathy of Twitter’s professional-class employees,” she explained, “who proved increasingly susceptible to liberals’ demands for tighter moderation policies on things such as using male pronouns to refer to a transgender woman.”
The inversion of language is demonic. To call it "moderation" to insist that one hold an extreme, nonsensical view is depravity. It's just one more way to get people to subconsciously concede to a lie, and to compromise their thinking.
"Meanwhile, a federal judge in San Francisco issued a temporary injunction late last night ordering Israel not to attack anybody else." 😅🤣😂
Isn’t he fabulous….
Best news, best humor all around.
I’m staying away from the other platforms. The C&C family is the best, not perfect, but the best and normally grounded. Praying for all the world and hopefully all the crazies and violent people takes away each others. GOD BLESS AMERICA AND THE WORLD.
Absolutely agree.
I like Reinette Seinum a lot on Substack as well. but for the perfect mix of humor and perspicacity, Jeff rules!
The crazy thing is, that statement about the federal judge's injunction is almost believable.
Like a Babylon Bee story 😂
Darn. This puts a damper on my "No Kings Day" party. Lol. 😂😂😂
Well, you could host a Three Kings Day party, just about six months later. Like those annoying "Christmas in July" thingies.
Saw a clip of President Trump responding to a question about the No Kings thing. He said “I don’t feel like a king. I have to go through hell to get anything done.”
I’m planning to fill the day with the music of Elvis and Michael Jackson 🤔
So very much unlike Mel Brooks who often said "It's good to be the king."
No King but Jesus”
Rats- I hit send by mistake…Glenn beck has “No King but Jesus” merch available.
u can always edit using the 3 dots on the upper right of your post...
Thanks! I didn’t know that.
Our Christmas tree stays up until after 3 Kings Day / Epiphany. We have to have boundaries, our tree goes up on black Friday.
My parents always required “the take down” on New Year’s Day, the tree only having gone up near Christmas Eve. As an adult, and a mother, I chose to leave up the tree until well after Epiphany—though it still doesn’t go up until near Christmas Eve…. On the other hand, my childhood Christmases were essentially devoid of the the very reason for the celebration, despite all of us children having perfect attendance Sunday School awards. Because of that emptiness, I made sure to “run” a very different kind of Christmas celebration for my young family.
Bless you.
It seems to have paid off, "in spades".
I once left up my Christmas tree for 2 years (artificial, of course). It was a lovely sight. Then, I went on a real tree binge for a couple of years. Starting this year, it's back to the artificial tree. Let's see how long this new tree stays decorated....
There's a local restaurant in our town that keeps theirs up but changes ornaments. Snowflakes and such in Jan, hearts and cupids in Feb., etc. We were in there last weekend and it was flip flops, sunglasses and smiling suns.
Why not keep a tree up all year? Here in N. GA Christmas lights are a permanent fixture!
I keep my trees up year round and have for years. I don't care what people think. With all the horribleness and horrible people around, I can look at them and feel peace and joy. No one is allowed to change this for me. No one!
Better a King than a CLOWN!
Or a cabbage 🥬.
We have a huge “king of the wing” contest on Saturday… pretty hilarious that they are also trying to have a no kings march 😂
Did you buy your King's cake for "No King's Day?'
No. Hahaha 😂
My Silly Valley town's No Kings party tomorrow has Joan Baez singing plus cake and costumed parade but I am a very hard pass on that. https://ajvalleyheartsdelight.substack.com/p/america250-part-3-2025-flag-and-or
How bloated with self aggrandizement is this judge... what a fuckwit!
Not anymore than all of the progressive injunction happy judges.
Yes, I should have included, et al. Thanks for that :)
He's Justice (SCOTUS) Breyer's brother.
Interesting.
I think Jeff was kidding as he had that in parantheses after that comment. I just caught that now as I was interrupted while reading earlier.
I read another similar post that a federal judge in San Francisco has ordered Israel to rebuild the Iranian reactors.
...and to put those poor Generals and nuclear scientists back together.
I think it was Boasberg who ordered that one. "Doesn't matter if their limbs and body parts are in mid-flight; they must be brought back!...and made whole."
😆
LOL!
Good one!...You're nearing Jeff Childers' level humor. :)
hahaha And a team of LGLOWIQ flag wavers are leaving SF immediately ..... or, as
soon as all the donuts are loaded ....... to assist in making sure that the rebuild hiring is DEI inclusive !
I can assure you, this action by Israel is not funny, not even a little bit. The trump efforts have just taken at least TEN steps back. What shame. See what israel is capable of folks?destabilising the world. Congratulations to bibi and the people of Israel. You have successfully destabilised our lives and the world. great job🤬🤬🤬
So. You would rather Iran have nuclear weapons. Good to know where you stand.
Yup....Iran has nothing to do with destabilizing the Middle East...yup..
Yup….neither does Israel….yup
I agree, while my friends were celebrating something that "had to happen" because Iran was so dangerous, I was saddened and concerned. This isn't good. There goes more of our tax dollars out the door to fund another war across the world. I know nothing is black and white, but this is dangerous and upsetting.
The Bible says Israel will be a “cup of trembling” to the whole world.
@Dowrick- well, aren't you just a ray of pitch black?
Meet Butcher Bibi, the rabid Zionist PIG:

"Worldwide" temporary injunction.
What’s sad is, that’s almost believable at this point!! 😆😛
Judicially speaking, things have been so crazy lately that I actually fell for that line, haha!
OMG! JW, I’m with you. I can’t stop laughing…….🤣
US law forbids arming foreign country conflicts against civilians. Could be possible.
I barked out incredulous laughter at that line, which brought my husband at a run to find out what was so funny!
Jeff needs to work for the Babylon Bee!
I just realized I can highlight a word and get a dictionary definition and pronunciation guide! How cool is that! So helpful when reading Jeff’s posts (and sometimes the responses). I look forward to these every day.
The guts at The Bee are really mad they didn’t come up with that one.
Pray for peace. The CCP has bought farmland around many American military bases, which could allow it to pull off a similar attack to Israel and Ukraine. We must stay vigilant. California is the BlueSky of states with Newsom, Bass, and Padilla competing for cringiest clown. Sadly they will be rewarded with cushy sinecures like all the other DNC commissars: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/biden-sinecure-fauci-nuland
100%. I hope Hegseth, Kash Patel and Tulsi are all over this. The odds that the CCP has secret drone bases near our Military bases is extremely high. Hezbollah sleeper cells in America could activated at any time. 1800 No Kings protest events on Saturday could be perfect cover for Mass Chaos.
And I will say one thing, if I am physically threatened at all in my car this weekend by violent protestors, I can assure you it will not take me 2 weeks to flatten the curve.
LOL! Good one 😆My like button is stll broken…
Haha. Me like mucho.
I didn't even think the follow up about it being illegal to run down people who get in your way needed to be said. I think common sense states there is something quite different than a line of people blocking the street, vs. someone on your hood with a crowbar taking it to your windshield, or similarly threating you on your driver's side window. If I felt boxed in and threatened then I would probably lay on the horn first and then slowly move forward while honking the horn, but fi the threat was imminent then all bets would be off.
good for you.
And ........... bring a large contingent of nicely dressed ladies in older cars
with you . Go get the roads cleared .....please
Oh my goodness! Laughing SO hard!! I basically said the same thing. Might be a Good day for a drive. LOL
I'm with you, they get "one honk" warning and I'm rolling. I have a CCW so I will be carrying in my car, if they decide to ignore and attack. My Bronco WILL WIN the match. 😉
As a kid in high school, someone attempted to stop me in his Ford Fiesta in my 1976 Ninety Eight Oldsmobile in the school parking lot. Picture an aircraft carrier pushing a dingy. I honked my horn and finally, slowly moved my car and began nudging his car forward. That is what I would do if a crowd of people were blocking the road. I would probably try to record it as well..me with my phone...honking the horn, and rolling down the window a little and yelling "this is a road and not a pedestrian crossing, please move."
And then I would slowly move forward, or if I could...drive around even if it meant driving on the grass.
Update: I would also add "listen, if you stay in the road, I will make contact with you. And if you flip out, that will be on you, not me."
NIce. Appreciate the directions. And mine is a Fiesta--2017 version!
Right on Mary. Crowds can get mobbish quick! CCW is always good to have.
Stay safe please.
Im still taken aback at the number of " no kings" actually planned in FL
Believe Flyover Florida listed 75
I am too....
You have ‘balls!’
You have to if you are being attacked. Fight or flight.
Hope you are in Florida?
Only for vacation!
China! China! China!
Russia! Russia! Russia!
covid! covid! covid!
Authoritarianism! Authoritarianism! Authoritarianism!
Bomb! Bomb! Bomb!
To save the dollar.

LOL.
We may find out why all those young Chinese men were crossing Biden’s non-existent border.
By now, the CCP probably has a huge 5th column in this country.
I have to reluctantly give you a like, although I'm not liking the content, but the fact you are pointing out the possibility.
I don't believe it's a possibility. I believe it's a fact.
we probably deserve it
Nancy Knox,
You might think you deserve to be attacked, but America 🇺🇸 absolutely doesn’t deserve to be attacked. We are a wonderful country full of good people. Our people are some of the most generous and caring people on the planet.
If you hate America, move to China where they still practice slavery, eat dogs 🐶 at their yearly dog cook-out festivals and generally treat people like scum. Better yet, move to a country where they slaughter homosexuals or practice cannibalism. Since you might be a woman, why not move to a country which forces you to wear a burka? Move to England where you can be thrown in jail for a FB post for years. Where asking a nonnative immigrant to speak English is a hate crime.
Lots of wonderful places to live in this world 🌍 if you hate America. 🇺🇸 No country is perfect as long as there are humans in it, but there are far worse places to live than here.
simmer down there, raisin bun. You are foaming at the mouth
Oh golly gee, I must be a rabid animal for defending the country and people that I love whilst you (the level-headed and calm one🤣😂🤣) feel America and Americans “deserve” to be attacked. I find your attitude sickening.
Defending homosexuals? Yikes! Why would you do that instead of curing them of their degenerate mental illness? America is the leader of spreading homo-propaganda across the world. Even now where in the midst of 'gay pride month'.
Generous and caring? Have you heard of Vietnam, Iraq, Libya, and Afghanistan (so much destroyed, thanks to USA).
This mindset is the reason America is going down the tubes.
Based Florida man,
I am not defending homosexuality. However, I don’t think that they should be murdered either.
🇺🇸 Americans are the most generous and caring people. You are referring to the money grabbing elites and defense contractors when you talk about war. While they have great power and disregard for human life, they are only a small percentage of the population.
🇺🇸 The soldiers fighting in the war -the ones that gave their limbs and lives did so for honorable reasons. My husband was a pilot in the Vietnam war. He did it because he wanted to preserve democracy and freedom. Again, he is just the average citizen trying to make the world a better place for everyone.
It’s your mindset -the one that hates and sneers at America that is ruining this country.
I use to be that way - all or nothing. America or bust. Israel is great, Iran is horrible.
But there's nuances. America has been subverted and pushes gay and trans agendas and war.
And vaccines.
It's worth complaining about.
Based Man,
One doesn’t have to be all or nothing. But you’re confusing the elites with the average person. 🧍♀️
Do you honestly believe that the average American should be killed or maimed through an attack by another country because of what the elites have chosen to do?
Do you really hate the average American that much?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qy6WJi-vJ8Y
This reminds me of the leftists during covid. They convinced themselves that those who don’t wear masks or get jabbed are bad people who kill grandma. You can show them how wrong they were but they cling to the notion that they were right. I characterize it this way, to some people it is better to be wrong for the right (compassionate) reasons than to be right. Now substitute the parenthetical ‘compassionate’ with ‘patriotic’ in defense of USA war propagation and you have the same thing.
I wasn't involved in the destruction of Vietnam, Iraq, Libya, or Afghanistan. I don't participate in that mindset. Neither am I participating in "Pride" month. I don't "deserve" to "go down the tubes" with America.
Sure.
But let's not act like America hasn't been behind much of the BS in this world.
Jeff called it with the Bluesky tards- may agree with 95% but that 5% not agreed upon and well, all hell breaks loose. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
I'd hate to be the creator of BlueSky, only to find out that the ones I created it for are the ones that will destroy it!
This country has been under attack since early 2020. Most people don't notice since it's so "normal".
Leskunque,
I agree with you, but believe that our country and our people have been under attack internally for far more years than that.
I think most average Americans have been outraged by the recent attacks on us starting in 2020 and that is why Trump won in this recent election.
Longer than that. Go back to the early 1900
I like your fire. We need a whole lot more of that throughout the Western world. Many forces seek to divide dislocate shame and demoralize westerners. If we cannot stand up for ourselves we are already lost. I’m done accommodating the elitist views espoused throughout the education system ironically by the most spoiled and pampered people on earth.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qy6WJi-vJ8Y
"WE". Are you referring to yourself and your loved ones? Did your family commit some heinous crime about which you carry guilt? Because you don't speak for me, Nancy. I don't "deserve this", nor does anyone in my family.
I'm always skeptical when someone uses the collective "we" in their speech and in their thought processes. Although "we" all have some things in common (life and the biological processes required to support it), a lot of similarities end there. "We", in your formulation, is as prejudicial a term as "they" as applied to a group of individuals who share a common faith, racial background or culture -- you cannot make meaningful statements about "they", other than very general observations about these obvious traits they share.
You may remember a few days ago here in the comments section a conversation about teenage drivers. While our group mostly agreed that teenage drivers are often irresponsible, bad at driving, and prone to wrecking (or at least denting) cars, some spoke up about their exceptional, respectful, responsible teenagers who are good drivers who know their limitations. This proves my point about "they", and if it were someone from that group talking about their group, any "we" statements would be similarly meaningless.
Moreover, after what I've observed about politics and sociology/sociopathy over the past decade or so, I maintain a distinct distance between "me" and "they" - "we" are NOT a thing. While I watch my idiot Facebook "friends" frothing at the mouth about "totalitarianism" over immigration enforcement and over Trump's every move, this distinction has become vividly clear. "We" may live on the same patch of ground, but I don't think "we" live in the same political system.
To sum up, as others have pointed out here, "We" don't deserve any common fate, whether you're talking about the state of California, the United States or the world at large. Some of us have striven to make our chunk of the planet a better place, and some have not. Some obviously do "deserve" some dire fate, but one should be careful when considering who those are, and why they are so deserving. It helps one to focus on maintaining core values and clarity of purpose during one's short time here.
WE Al deserve only one thing.
Death.
That’s why is why we need a Savior.
That’s why He came.
Heavy sigh Cstone. I don't like that word, not bc of it itself, but bc we lose those we love so dearly and tenderly.
Not probably. We DO deserve it. Our only hope is true repentance, then perhaps we will receive Mercy.
Sad thing is we don't control the country.
(((subversives))) do.
International finance was always in control. Musk threatening Trump with Epstein triggered Trump support of attack on Iran. Today's theatre demonstrations is a distraction for the bombing. The Constitution is all that is available to the people and regularly under attack.
I would need absolute proof of this before I believe that. Israel is capable of going rogue on their own.
They needed 9/11 in the past.
This move was big.
Trump needed to be on board.
A threat about his Epstein past would do it.
"Sad thing is we don't control the country"
Anyone who is not really stupid can witness daily the corrupt and UN(american) actions of the "elected officials" ....Senate and House at the top, from both parties ! Dems are outspoken... but the Rinos are in the same game. And that is how the whole system , from the top down, has been corrupted. THEY are not the reprentatives of the good, caring american. Not one bit !
once again.... see dr shivas video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_3Nf6xjeFs
The sad thing is.......... many "good" people have chosen, unwittingly or not, to be part of the SWARM , for security and prestige. Little did most realize that WE were headed to where we are now . A real shitshow .
.
We are experiencing an amazing season of God’s mercy right now. (It could have been President Word Salad.) Praying daily we won’t waste it and for repentance in the church and revival in our high schools and universities.
not all deserve it.
There is one thing we all deserve, and one thing only.
Death.
That’s why we needed/still need a Savior.
I would kindly like a do-over!
not all.
We "deserve it" bc someone has to pay for the sins of the government, the spook-agencies and our parasite class? Most of us are GOOD people who only have a part in any of it under DURESS. Stop blaming the innocent for the crimes of the puppet masters.
Why on earth we don't (1) seize that property back (2) give an electron microscope level examination to every human and object on it is beyond my comprehension.
Yep! They own the Hotel Del Coronado, overlooking 3 military installations and our nuclear submarine base. 🤬
It's difficult to find anywhere in the USA that is not next to a military base of some kind.
I have an Air force National Guard base right down the street.
You are saying Blackstone is a Chinese company?
I believe Blackstone owns only 60%. Haven’t checked recently, but I remember the military’s objection to at least part of the sale.
Seriously?! 😡😳
Beckadee pointed out that Blackstone is part owner (60%), but I remember the military’s objection to the sale because of CCP involvement. Back in the day, I remember being surprised that BO admin blocked a purchase near a military installation in AK.
The good news, some Governors are changing that and fixing it.
Sure. Why not. Anything as long as we can avoid talking about Israel.
Huh? Is it really either/or?
Regarding concierge medicine: our experience does not mirror Jeff’s as far as affordability goes. Here in Richmond, Virginia it will cost a husband and wife about $6000 a year for access to a concierge service. And then, of course you have to pay for visits and lab work. The white glove service is very nice and extensive labs are nice too. One warning I would have is to watch out because concierge medicine does not mean “functional “. We have found many of the doctors very conventionally minded, pushing vaccines and pharmaceuticals. Caveat emptor!
It's getting better. I agree that depending on the area you live in concierge service can be hit or miss. We funded our HSA accounts to the max for years and now pay cash via these accounts whenever we need health care. Otherwise we avoid doctors and dentists and take care of our own health via better eating and homeopathic remedies etc. No more annual check ups and screening. We don't trust the current medical community at all.
They lost so much trust and I am not convinced most will ever get it back.
👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆🔥🔥🔥🔥
My medical resources are Midwestern Doctor, Lies Are Unbekoming, & the FLCC. You will never go to a pharma trained doctor again because you will be better informed than the doctor. DMSO, chlorine dioxide, fenbendazole, ivermectin, vitamins, sunlight, timed eating/intermittent fasting, real whole foods are the prescription to a long healthy life.
Your points are all valid and this RN couldn’t agree more with the functional medicine approach. It’s too easy to stereotype concierge providers as functional, since so many of the latter have to practice within that model.
I will say, though, that even between allopathic providers, the concierge structure allows for more autonomy because concierge providers are paid by the patient, not a third party “carrier” (😒🙄). I’m looking forward to seeing more adoption of this model by doctors and patients so we can reduce the influence of insurance companies. Too many doctors base their decisions on protocols and what the payer will approve, instead of what they know about the patient and their presentation.
Many drs. during the plandemic, were called BY THE MAIN INSURANCE COMPANIES covering their hospitals, asked WHY they were using the extremely cheap HCQ and Ivermectin, (successfully!) and ordered to pivot to remdesiver (aka RUN-death-is-near) and ventilators. This made me think of hospitals like emission inspection machines. “Plug her up and let’s see what the MACHINE/APPARATUS tells us to fix”.
They have a racket to run. Like I tell my patients, preceptees, and nursing students, always follow the $$.
“Protocols,” like mandated use of Remdesivir, regardless of clinical condition. 🤬🤬🤬
Remdesivir killed my mom. I would like to see fauci hang
I’m sorry 😞 I’d like to see Fauci and his ilk get their comeuppance too!
💔 So sorry! 💔
It’s no wonder why mid-level providers/physician extenders/advanced practice providers/(insert-euphemism-for-anything-just-short-of-an-MD-here) have become so prevalent. Anyone with a minimal amount of medical decision making capability can be spoon-fed a protocol. No need to pay a doctor for all that extra training.
Spot on!
Try Direct Primary Care instead. Here in Colorado, I have a doc who is $75/mo, and $15/mo for kids. Almost all services are performed in house. It’s awesome, personal, short wait times, and many visits can be done via tele health or even texts. He even offers plans for businesses to cut down on costs. I started using him pre-pandemic, and as long as I’m up CO, I’ll be a patient for life :).
I guess we are blessed in our area of Louisiana. We do it for $250 a year. Great pair of doctors. Don't push vaxs. Take their time with you and listen. Let you be in charge of your health care
That’s what I have in WA state. I’m a senior so it costs me $118 a month,but it’s worth it.
I don't pay ANYTHING for health care since I purchased an Energy Density Frequency Medicine device. I use it for virtually everything caused by a virus, bacteria or parasite and it works in about 10 minutes. For a couple years of health care payments, anyone can have one.
Please expound? Is that like a RIFE Machine or…?
It's called Super CHI 5000L and it's not available to the general public, but you can purchase one direct from me for $2500. Here's a video about it: https://www.swisstransfer.com/d/1ffdc4ae-e87f-49cc-b08a-7ebf13d887bb
"Rife Machines" are on my website at harmonicresearch.org, but the Super CHI works better at 1/10 the cost.
Fantastic:}
And what is Jeff doing to insure for catastrophic care? I can self fund my day to day needs with my private pay integrative MD who practices functional medicine but he can’t help me with surgery for a hernia or hospital recovery from a horrific car accident. Unfortunately some sort of insurance is needed for these situations and the latter incident could be especially financially devastating.
We use a medical cost share called KnewHealth. We love it! It covers most preventative treatment and offers catastrophic coverage. Labs are so much less expensive because we go direct through them.
Check in to Medishare. It got us through when we were self employed. Now we have Medicare. Same Docs in both systems.
Your car insurance would cover medical bills from a car accident.
Just make sure to ramp up the coverage to the highest amount you can afford.
I had no idea car insurance would do that.
In Pennsylvania, which is a no-fault state, you would use your own car insurance to pay for medical bills. Not sure about other states.
Best to ramp up coverage to at least $1 million if economically possible.
https://www.islawyers.com/who-is-responsible-for-paying-medical-bills-from-an-auto-accident-in-pennsylvania/
Alabama isn't based on what I just searched. They do require min 25k liability insurance but since AL doesn't seem to be too worried about people driving around without license tags how they enforce that who the hell knows. lol.
Kathleen, you always offer so much value.
Kathleen, you might be interested in this video. You get a shoutout around start around the 10 min mark if short on time. She’s reading an article JRK Jr did with Richard Mellon Schaife in 1999 re Clinton. Considering he’s from your area you’ve likely seen this.
https://youtu.be/mTfB6sdn5Zg?list=PL76DVrk1OSLWvTN0HXOeF2daSTKtJ7PL3
Thank you so much for the link.
I never saw that clip before.
Chris Ruddy broke the story about Ron Brown's mishandled death investigation in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review owned by Richard Mellon Scaife. When I was threatened by the military, I was asked if I knew Scaife.
Not much chance of me hanging out with a billionaire.
only if you pay for that option with your car insurer. It’s not free or automatically included in most states. It also doesn’t cover very much in terms of dollar amount.
I can increase the dollar amount of medical coverage with USAA in case of an accident.
Thanks Laura.
We did increase our medical expense coverage on our auto policies. In case of car crashes etc. In Pennsylvania, you go thru that coverage before your own health insurance.
Absolutely! The ER, trauma hospitals love it when the patient has that high coverage through their auto policies. Seen it first hand.
I didn't get the impression he didn't have a health insurance. If you have enough money you can self insure
I have gap insurance with United to cover catastrophic. Super Cheap.
Catastrophic health care needs such as surgery are handled by local hospitals at a much lower rate without insurance. It's illegal for them to refuse patients in WA state. Then, payments are less than insurance. Frequency Medicine handles all illness much faster than ANY doctor.
What is the brand name of your device?
It's called Super CHI 5000L and it's not available to the general public, but you can purchase one direct from me for $2500. Here's a video about it: https://www.swisstransfer.com/d/1ffdc4ae-e87f-49cc-b08a-7ebf13d887bb
My father used to tell me, "Hey, Sunnyboy, health care is cheap if you just never get sick."
Truth.
That is my philosophy'
I do not go to doctors or dentists.
My concierge docs (two experiences) cost more than $1300/year and still charged insurance. One of them fired me for refusing to get vaxxed and not following her directions when I came down with Covid. (Instead I took HCQ and recovered quickly). Good concept but still a few wrinkles.
I found a holistic MD in my area. I heard that the AMA kept naturopathic physicians out of Florida. Maybe it is time for our legislature to revisit that concept.
I don't know anyone who trusts the medical doctors anymore. Verify and then Trust.
I am afraid to even go to a doctor anymore. My daughter's pediatrician tried to push the Covid shot on her. The local "functional" medicine doctor in our area told everyone to get the jabs right on their website. For now I am trying to just get myself as healthy as I can be without a doctor.
Me too! In 2021 I was bitten by a dog, it was pretty bad, treated it myself as I was more afraid of health care. ( I have No medical knowledge) I also cut my thumb to the bone 😬 that was also tricky healing but I survived. I cannot trust drs.
It might be different at an urgent care center or ER
Remember private Doctors? Let’s go back to that! Now all are beholden to Pig Harma!
We just left our long time doctor. She was great- common sense- until the practice went "corporate." Now you get 10 minutes and several of those are where the practitioner is figuring out how many boxes on the form to check to run up the insurance bill.
Yeah between that and the insurance companies, things have gotten bad 😕
Big concern with many programs is the lack of hospital access and specialty care when it’s needed. Stay healthy folks!
It’s expensive here in Central New York as well. And it doesn’t cover everything. My solution is not to go to the doctor at all, if I can possibly help it.
The ones I've seen near-ish us in DFW are on par with that as well. I'll have to look up a couple of the other suggestions below. The concept is nice, but not at that price point. :/
Agree. My experience was that concierge cost between $3000-$6000 for just ME, and I learned the hard way that the less expensive plan did not allow me an emergency visit for a heinous attack of shingles.
/$3000 Per set don in CT too
I agree, I had a concierge and the docs were the same, big harma lovers.
My question is about how one obtains catastrophic insurance. Does that even exist? I would certainly prefer an [affordable] concierge practice, but we don’t want to be without coverage if something terrible happened and we needed the allopathic care for an emergency.
My husband and I have the best concierge doctors! They prescribed ivermectin when my husband had covid. (We have a compounding pharmacy nearby). My doctor talks to me for at least an hour when I visit. She actually diagnosed my sister’s kidney disease because she is detail oriented and ran more labs quickly to double check. I thank God for these physicians. My doctor actually reads The Forgotten Side of Medicine Substack! And she recommends DMSO! It’s worth every penny for our monthly “coop” fee!!
The Midwestern Doctor substack is great too. I recommend looking for a naturpathic doctor. At least they are willing to look at causes and cures outside of the pharma box.
Check out Well Being by Design. This Naturopathic Doctor actually knows how the body is supposed to work and can make recommendations for diet and supplements that really help.
Where do we go about looking for this? I'm all for cheaper and would love to start this once hubby gets a job. It's been over a year and still no dice. He's very disheartened. It's really hard for a middle-aged white male to get a job. Even minimum wage jobs won't hire him. We're about to hit a brick wall financially and can't see or pray a way out of it.
Praying for you and your husband!🙏
During the 70’s my husband and I went through something similar. It’s a long complicated story, but we trusted God to work it out for good and He did! My husband’s volunteer work during those tough times turned into employment.
Thanks. We don't know what else to do. It's just....hard.
Praying something will come up soon 🙏
Hang in there. The "real" economy has been in a funk, and Obamacare destroyed the health insurance market for individuals (while subsidizing the insurers).
Health care options vary by locale, but hopefully a rising tide will soon lift the private economy with better job opportunities. 🤞
Been here; done this 3x with my
4-5x covid jabbed hubs of 39 years. He is extremely intelligent (other than the recent far left-newly liberal disease and covidiot condition he strongly believes in!) He was making high 5 to 6 figures each time he was unemployed— 1st time, 17 months. We had 2 young kids. Next time was during the Obama - depression and lasted 23 months. We had 3 kids. I was a stay home mom after having taught school for a few years.
This last time was 33 months. He was recently working for AUTOLIV out of Utah. He liked it but left. He’s 62 and just started working with CISCO, which he adores!
HANG IN THERE. It could be worse. Your hubs could be nearing retirement age and recently turned liberal and nearly worship that evil elf, Fauci, shedding vaccine crap all over the place, voting for Cackling Kamala. SOS! I’m sending up PRAYERS for you.
lol I keep telling myself someone always has it worse. I was a stay at home mom the whole time. Last year I did a 1 year stint as a teacher in a Montessori school to help slow the drain on our savings, but that was torture for me and even though they want me back, I desperately do NOT want to go (had so many health issues due to stress the admin brought on). I'm taking real estate classes atm hoping maybe I can pass the test and try that route, along with taking bookkeeping classes. Anything to have a bigger net to spread and do something to tide us over until he gets something.
Truly— hang in there. We went from kids in homeschool/private schools and I’m the teacher and after school activities driver to literal food stamps. It was surreallllll going from driving to tennis lessons and the barn for horseback riding lessons to the welfare office. I once accidentally went there in my Polo Club (not Ralph Lauren// an actual polo club) shirt with the logo on front, back and sleeves! I didn’t play polo there; I WORKED there, but I felt tactless wearing that in that awful, depressing place. You’ll land on your feet. My own dad went through a similar thing growing up. He was an executive but wound up with his own exterminator company. He made a lot of $$ spraying bugs. He got the idea for doing that from Corrie Ten Boom’s book, The Hiding Place. The Nazi guards wouldn’t come into their barracks and beat them for Bible study on account of all the fleas. They learned to be grateful for the fleas which allowed them to study the bible and worship. THAT is what drove my dad into being an exterminator during his lengthy lay off!
Again, HANG in there!! And don’t be afraid to take advantage of food stamps and whatever else is available to you. You’ve paid into the system for that reason. Friend’s kids went through college in food stamps for the same reason. They had to pay tuition but the stamps were a boost.
I am familiar with the Hiding Place. My daughter played Corrie ten Boom in the school play this past May. God moves us in mysterious ways. Hubby is open to pretty much anything right now, going to interviews for mechanic positions, construction, etc. when all he's ever done is analytics and computer programming. Can't say he isn't trying, just nothing is sticking.
I feel ya— all too well.
I now run a little barn and do wedding flowers, planning and decor. It’s basically 2 side hustles, but easier than getting geared up to go back to teaching after decades away. Praying for your fam!
That sounds heartbreaking.
It was rough. I usually was able
to keep on the sunny side but occasionally— not so sunny. 😎
How are you handling that trial in your life?
I have enough of an issue dealing with those indoctrinated into the narrative on X, but I can always close the window and go on with my day. But to be subjected to a one of them on a daily basis would be another thing entirely.
It’s a rriak. Some days I am able to “count it all joy” and some days I retreat inward. Most of the time I am
a bit of a Pollyanna and can think on the things that are good and lovely and of good report. On occasion, I could do some real damage! here in Clown World. 😬😜
Have you tried temp agencies? Perhaps a long term job could come from that.
Yes, several. We've tried locally, remotely, entry level jobs, what he's done before. He's had a few interviews, but usually it all ends in either a no or being ghosted. He's a smart, hard-working, dependable guy, but nothing is panning out. We've been mostly positive this whole time so the kids don't worry, but it's getting harder to be that way and he's now feeling like there must be something wrong with him since no one will hire him. It's just hard right now for all of us.
There is nothing wrong with him, it’s ageism in the workplace. The same thing is happening to me, a white middle-aged female. We cost them so much in healthcare and our experience comes with higher salary. This is why they post jobs that require 10+ years experience for an entry level salary. The hiring process was already broken before the economy tanked. Ghosting is now expected.
Yes, ageism is alive and well. He's doomed the way things are now, white, middle-aged male does not check off any boxes in favor of hiring. He just hit 50 so I know that's a contributing factor.
Please do not say doomed. Stay positive and engage in activities that lift the spirit. I now have lots of time to spend with my 85 year old mom and I know I will be thankful for that when she is gone.
Same experience here as a middle aged white woman in Seattle. Many doors closing for no apparent reason - so I’m looking into providing services directly to customers. Others have done so & succeeded.
It's hard not to feel that something is wrong with you if you don't get hired. I've had trouble getting jobs for years now as well. I work on Upwork as a freelancer, and the jobs on there for my line of work are usually offering ridiculously low wages for quite a bit of work. It really gets ridiculous when they have a long list of requirements and offer a wage you would feel embarrassed to offer a kid for mowing the lawn.
I think what it depends on is "who you know" rather than "what you know." Because it appears to me a lot of businesses are looking for people who will work. And it also appears to me that a lot of people in the workforce have a new ethic post Covid where they don't want to work, using sickness as a way to stay home a few days a week (I could be wrong.)
So we must think of new ways to get our names in the right networks.
I’m so sorry to hear this. I will add you to my Rosary intentions.
Thank you :)
Same here. I’m 60 and no one is interested. Particularly since I take care of my mom, so travel is very limited.
Low skill jobs aren’t interested (either because of my degree or experience or both) but I can’t get a job in my profession either. 🙁
I'm sorry for you, it's maddening when someone is willing to work and no one will hire you.
There will always be those who have it worse. I doon't think it is hard for a middle-aged white male to get a job, you just have to be connected to the right people. For me it "feels" nearly impossible to get employment and most of my work is freelance on Upwork. But I bet if I knew successful people and could make inroads with them, that would change, but it would have to be something organic and authentic and not a contrived reason just to get hired.
I watched the Mark Cuban interview with Rav on "The Illusion of consensus" and Cuban is correct, that people who hire use the "path of least resistance" and will usually hire by asking friends if they know anyone who are qualified. They probably post jobs on Indeed and similar work sites simply to play lip service to "diversity" in saying that their net was cast wide...and just by coincidence, they hired the friend of their friend who is a CEO of another Fortune 500 company.
I've had 0 results from 6 months of DMSO. 😔
😞 it has done many great things for us. Often using it in conjunction with other things.
Other things: such as? I've been using it toppically for some varicose veins with not a lot of improvement. Suggestions welcomed!
Try looking at the files under the 🔍 on THE NATURAL HEALTH LIBRARY on facebook. They’ve been a huge help to me for years now.
My friend has terrible varicose veins and it has worked for her. I guess your mileage may vary. Are you using it full strength or have you diluted it? Are you using it topically or internally? Have you read A Midwestern Doctor's posts on DMSO? There is a book also from Amanda Vollmer called Healing with DMSO on Amazon. It gives details on how to use it.
Thank you! Actually I think it has helped a bit. I'm just lamenting the loss of my once fabulous legs! But they're still fabulous! They may creak and groan a bit but they happily take me where I want to go, Grateful for these still fabulous legs!
I totally understand! It’s tough to accept changes to our body as we age. But your attitude is spot on. Things could be much worse. Have a blessed day!
I have not tried it yet, but there are a ton of reports from people who say it is a miracle cure for many things. It can be used topically or intravenously.
I just cured (within four hours) a sudden ear infection that had me nauseous and dizzy on the floor two days ago with only two applications of DMSO and home brewed CS (ionic silver) drops in my affected ear! The stuff amazes me again and again...
Could you please explain exactly what you did? I am going through this now( I believe that it's an ear infection)? I have DMSO gel and also 99% liquid DMSO. I also have collodial silver. Just not sure how to use. Thank you in advance.
I put one drop of each (DMSO 100%, and CS) in the ear that was starting to hurt and placed a bean bag that had been heated in microwave for a minute on it (while keeping ear upright so solution would stay inside) and kept repeating this (warming) for a few hours. After a while I noticed my eustachian tube drained and nausea and dizziness went away. I followed up with repeat solution treatment again after four hours and have been feeling better since. You can use a heating pad instead of a bean bag. Hope this works for someone else...
Thank u ever so much!
Ditto!
Yes. I've tried both, at some expense, with no results at all.
For anyone with a skin cancer (not melanoma but SCC/BCC), Curederm is natural and has great reports. Just started using it for AK's and it is great. Not inexpensive but may work for someone who can't or does not want MOHS or radiation.
CBD oil is effective on skin cancers too... and CDS is great as well.
good to know AD. Where do you purchase your CDS? I do not have time to make on my own.

I've dealt with Steven for a few years... good guy... tell him Jim from AZ sent ya.
You can also take it internally.
The Covid shot was safe and effective too.
I have come to the conclusion that DMSO is great when it works. Sometimes it just doesn't. A nurse once said of my dad's medication for Alzheimer's, "Some medications just don't 'take' on some people. If they work with one person, great. Doesn't mean it will with everyone." It worked wonderfully on a wound on my dog. I'm using it for lots of other little things, looking to see where it "takes." Some of my friends swear by particular supplements and tell me how differently they feel; when I take the same for months, I notice no changes whatsoever. That's how I look at DMSO--try it and see it if takes.
So true. Fortunately there are many different options in natural care therapies. You have to find what’s right for you.
Aspirin is a miracle cure.
Check out Dr. YOHO Substack
Aspirin not Tylenol
DMSO is being hyped too much like the Welne$$ Company.
Actually DMSO has been brought to the forefront by A Midwestern Doctor as a forgotten medicine. It’s been around for over 50 years and FDA refused to approve it except for interstitial cystitis.
More like 100 years.
Aspirin creates too much internal bleeding. Not for everyone.
No, that is a Big Pharma developed LIE.
Anyone with no serious gut issues like an ulcer can handle it fine. Dissolving it first in clean water is good.
What are you using it for? How are you using it?
RA - Topical and Supplement
Chlorine Dioxide Solution (CDS) Dr. Kalcker is the expert, has many videos online.
(Can be taken with DMSO, which makes it even more effective)
Maybe you are not using the correct one. My family has started it about a month ago and we all have had good results
Maybe my expectations are too high. I am looking for pain relief and less inflammation. I got neither of those in any measurable amount.
Apparently it works for most people, but not for everyone, nor for everything. Then again, sometimes it doesn’t work because of factors that can be addressed. You need to consult an expert on DMSO to know, and where are they?
What are you trying to treat with DMSO?
Wow! You are so lucky!!
You are very blessed with your concierge doctors.
Your docs are keepers....ask them to clone themselves so the rest of us can partake!
Where is this angel and is she licensed in Florida?!! 😄

Thanks, Lori! 😊
How can I find a concierge doctor? Thank you in advance!
They are "Direct Primary Care" physicians. We found ours because I knew them from our community. Our group had a waiting list for months and months. They have added more PAs and physicians to their practice. Word of mouth is probably their best advertising.

Wow, I’m near the triangle and have had zero luck finding a concierge doctor. It has been a struggle. I had it before when I lived in CT but I think the costs are so high it isn’t practical for most. It did help me, though, during covid.
Ours are in Wilson
Oh I’m happy for you! I’m just bummed I’m on exactly the other side of the Triangle 😂
Yes, after years dealing with lymphoma, and at 68 years old, I prefer to just pass away rather than deal with the medical profession. PTSD? You bet!
what about a consult with Dr. Kory's Leading Edge Clinic via telemedicine-use is partner who is not a doc but has fantastic experience. don't give up Pat please.
Always a possibility! For the moment I choose to enjoy the day. Seems to be the best medicine!
Have you checked out Dr Makis? He keeps posting Substack articles about curing lymphoma. It’s behind a paywall but you can just pay for a short time. His fees are super reasonable. ❤️ Take care.
Not giving up. For the moment, I may still be in remission. Let's just say I've become very discerning about health care. And I think I'm the best source of that care.
Also see THE NATURAL HEALTH LIBRARY on Facebook. They’re extremely
helpful. I now bree my
own colloidal silver and have been wowed by what it does.
Also, Jim Humble’s MMS is great stuff. Get his new book!
Thank you. I will check it out!
Only if you are well informed about Big Pharma suppressed cures.
Are you taking fenbendazole and Ivermectin... maybe with Artemisinin?
Heck, worth a try, no?
Ivermectin will be available over the counter in July as I understand it, here in Idaho. I plan on replenishing my supply!
Xlnt! make sure you combine it with fenbendazole, available on Amazon and elsewhere.
I picked up some Mebendazole, which is slightly better, from India.
Take both with some healthy fat like olive or coconut oil and remember to take some liver support like Milk thistle...
GL to you!!
All Cancers have been 100% curable since a 1934 clinical trial. I will send you my article about it if you ask me at harmonicresearch@gmail.com.
I'm afraid I'm in the same boat.
I simply don't share this fear of death that seems to drive so many people. I don't court it; but I don't run either. I should be dead several times over between health issues and my flying (flying a sailplane in the mountains-or anywhere!)which is a bit out there on the risk spectrum. I've had a mostly glorious although not easy life and I will continue that trajectory for the foreseeable future. Remember: No one gets out alive (yes, I'm a zero hedge reader!)
You have to the correct perspective which nowadays is too often missing. As long as you are right with Jesus live well and leave your health and destiny to Him. If He takes you, you still win.
don't give up please.
Same !
No, keep looking.
I can relate.
I like RFK Jr’s ideas and I want Climate agendas zapped. That means solar farms, (they are not farms), wind turbines, unfunded by our money. I want them to go after the spraying of chemtrails and other geo engineering. They have been controlling our weather for too long.
In my large rural Illinois county, there is a "solar farm", that was subsidized by federal money, that took out of production hundreds of acres of some of the best "black dirt" in the state. Once these things are installed it will be nearly impossible to force them to remove it, same with those worthless, unsightly and deadly wind turbines.
Yes, I read that many pine forests in the Northeast are being cut down for solar "farms". Put the solar panels on top of urban buildings. Cutting down trees that produce oxygen and reduce CO2 to "save the planet" is just asinine.
Right. If this were about the environment, the solar panels would provide shade for parking lots, not farm grounds.
And the amount of resources and pollution it takes to make and dispose of these things make them completely against cause. An utter waste, start to finish.
They sterilize the ground when they install a solar farm, so they don’t have to worry about growing things interfering with the arrays. Even if they removed the panels, the ground would be useless for farming for GENERATIONS. People need to know this so they can push back on it when it comes to their county.
I have to disagree here a bit. I have a solar farm planned for a mile from my home on 1700 acres of farmland. I have been attending township board meetings for the last two years trying to stop it. The company building the solar farm has very specific land regulations they have to hit. One is a type of ground cover that can be mowed periodically, along with berms and tree plantings. Fencing has to be in place and runways left for deer. Out of 1700 acres, only 797 is planned to contain actual panels. My objection is this company will sell the leases within 5 years, and they will be resold and resold. There is a large amount they have pledged in escrow that if the panels are abandoned for any reason, the land must be returned to it’s previous state. We all know that once those panels go in, they will not be removed…ever. They were scheduled to start construction, first this spring, then mid summer, and now perhaps fall. The ground has all now been planted. I am desperately hoping that with the new administration all this federal funding dries up and this project is abandoned. These pop up solar companies will disappear.
And if Illinois' winters are anything like the ones in Pennsylvania, winters are full of short days and gray skies.
Not to mention they can be taken out by hailstorms with larger hailstones (over an inch to golf ball sized) which is not infrequent in those parts 😕
Or black walnuts in a windstorm Looked into the solar panels thing twice, over 15 years, decided it was a no-go.
I parked under a tree that flinging acorns during a windstorm.
They were like missiles and dinged my car like it was hit with a hailstorm.
Imagine what they would do to solar panels.
Exactly. Each fall we have to park down the driveway, near the street, during walnut drop. Two mature trees. The one beside the drive (which also gave nuts of considerable larger size) was taken down in March, but those nuts still travel a distance so I imagine we’ll have to continue our protective operations. It’s a great pity that we do not enjoy the taste of all that free protein (but darned hard to get at).
Funny, i think of PA winters as so sunny after a stint in the PNW
Yuck. Yes that soil is the best. Stupid to waste it. Also downstate has clusters of those obnoxious wind turbines. They usually just sit there not moving.
Did you know that those turbines require fossil fuels to begin turning? The wind won’t start them. I learned this recently in an online discussion about the “wind” turbines in Europe. Run by the fuel they claim to hate.
not to mention that more CO2, aka plant food, is actually good for the planet and it's inhabitants (see CO2 Coalition website for more info.). The whole man made climate change narrative, like most other left wing narratives, is built on a pure fraud.
No doubt.
The only way to fight manmade climate change is for man to change the climate
playing God has never worked out too well for man
Meanwhile, NOAA still educating the public on SRM and designated as the funding recipient for such activities
https://www.climate.gov/news-features/understanding-climate/solar-radiation-modification-noaa-state-science-factsheet
Trump will need to acknowledge the 2023 White House report on SRM instead of just archiving Biden’s plan. This is the most current federal plan, which identifies USGCRP web of gov entities implementing the SRM technology. It’s very concerning that RFK Jr is going around claiming DARPA and disregarding this explicit designation of USGCRP involvement as well as the documented academia institutions involved in “research.” It’s time to open an investigation.
“The Federal government conducts or funds limited research into SRM. Congress has directed NOAA to fund SRM research as part of its Earth’s Radiation Budget Program for the last several years. This supports several observational and modeling activities in NOAA, NASA, and with partner organizations (e.g., the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, NOAA Cooperative Institutes, and academia).” Pg43
Archived, but still active?
https://bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Congressionally-Mandated-Report-on-Solar-Radiation-Modification.pdf
And most people don’t know what USGCRP is. Why get rid of a website and not address this group?
“USGCRP facilitates collaboration and cooperation across 15 federal member agencies to advance a whole-of-government response to global environmental change.”
Agencies:
USDA, DOC, DOD, DOE, HHS, DHS, HUD, DOI, DOS, DOT, EPA, NASA, NSF, Smithsonian Institution, and the USAID
https://www.globalchange.gov/agencies
We have a much bigger problem than climate.gov
During his recent interview with Joe Rogan, Director Patel said that Biden’s first priority for the military was climate change. The DOD’s involvement in climate change was news to me.
The military is up to its ass in climate change.
Military, or secret military (DARPA), is doing the chemtrail spraying. That’s why state legislature such as in AZ or FL have had zero effect in ceasing the spraying.
i propose mandated Atmospheric Particulate Emissions reporting; pure data of what's being pumped into or blowing through a state's skies daily. ALL sources cumulative crud to be public info and REQUIRED analysis
Starsky, unfortunately you are correct. States can’t usurp federal power. The simple fact that stratospheric injections of chemicals in one place affects other places means that even one country can still be affected by the effects of what another country has done. What is needed is global cooperation. Good luck with that.
Kash and Bongino both have said their first priority is the protection of Israel.
Disgusting.
SA - Yikes.
This is a great interview of Catherine Austin Fitts (a Christian). Lots of info, but the first half is about the building of the financial "grid" to usher in total financial control (aka the Beast system), but in the 2d half, she talks about how the .gov is poisoning the population.....(Spoiler Alert) to reduce the burden on the Social Security fund, among other reasons......for which the beneficiaries will pay (with their lives) as of result of the .gov having pillaged the fund for DECADES.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piDqTbBwWRM
Are they nuts? SRM has so many unintended or intended consequences. I hope RFK stops this.
🎯🎯🎯 Barium, Strontium, and Aluminum are being tested currently in an effort to accumulate data on how to reduce global temperatures. It needs to be defunded as a DoD program.
Agree 💯
YES YES YES YES
I don't have a problem with "solar farms" - but ... put them as covered parking in existing parking lots, not over good farmland. Or put them over desert where there's nothing else there.
No. Do not cover the beautiful desert, which is teeming with wildlife, not to mention ranch grazing, with these bird-burning, destructive and pointless solar arrays. Put them in downtown Phoenix, on parking garages & lots, or create shady, covered sidewalks.
The tops of large shopping malls seems the ideal location.
Solar arrays are good.
Converting God's wonderful gift of the sun's rays into electricity is smart.
Yes, smart ... as they take valuable farmland out of production ... as their erratic and unreliable KW output jerks baseload capacity around ... as their deployment benefits greenscam lobbyists, governing officials, and investors. Smart, indeed.
not to mention the cost and the little Congo children mining for rare earth minerals.
Lithium is often extracted by using a lot of freshwater to create a brine of lithium salts which is then evaporated out to get the lithium. So even though it's not exploiting children, it is using vast amounts of fresh water often in arid areas where water is already at a premium. In Chile, water is being used for lithium extraction and being taken from the farmers in the areas. So it's still an ecologically destructive practice.
Similar with coal; there's a lot of nasty waste products. The trick is to manage it correctly.
Silicon and lithium are common and not primarily from Africa. You're thinking of other products.
Like cobalt, which is in all of our smartphones to extend battery life. It is mined by slaves and children and the market is controlled by the CCP. Read the book Cobalt Red for the whole sordid story.
Yep, but not solar panels or lithium batteries used in solar storage.
Put solar panels on your roof. No farms are impacted.
Why does our side act so deft on these topics?
I agree that solar has a place--on urban rooftops but not on farmland or cleared forests. Unfortunately, that is not what is happening.
Or as cover over parking lots, etc. but definitely not over farmland or clear cutting trees to place solar panels, etc.
Wha?
A quarter of the houses around me have solar on their roof.
I get that clearing forests for solar is bad. That should be stopped.
But is all solar bad? Of course not.
I would guess that most cities do not have solar on their rooftops except in small places. I didn't say that solar is bad. I said it has it's place and on roof tops is where it belongs and I've seen it used in parking lots where cars can still be parked under the panels. You may see it on some homes but that isn't stopping money-ed interests from buying up land to put up their panels because the gov't was handing out lots of cash to build them. The subsidies to put them anywhere is driving the land clearing.
Because we (unlike the green crowd) understand that solar is NOT suited for baseload, and do not mandate that reliable natgas and nuclear plants be mothballed because Gaia. There is a place for solar, as Cousin Clem says: on your own roof providing you your own power. Spend a few years in the power generation business and you'll see the truth in this argument.
I have liked the idea of solar panels for home use for many years. There is definitely a place for solar, but not on valuable farmland. Here in my area of Illinois we have had two sunny days this week. Today is cloudy and rainy. Even my cousin who owns farmland here commented to me about the lack of sun affecting the newly planted crops this Spring.
Daft?
Here in Florida, where I have thirty panels on my roof, it’s a great idea. Up north? Stupidity.
Your installation is also "smart" because it's NOT connected to the baseload grid, and only provides power for your personal use.
Monday, drove past a business on Rte 1, Wiscasset, mid-coast Maine, with a solar panel array over its extensive roof. Roof facing east. Other side of the road: forest. This means (from my own experience in neighborhood) that in winter, when northern sun is so very low in the sky, that sun will hardly climb above those trees until well into the day. Cost versus value?
if it is so good why do they need the government to fund it
You don't. Just put your own panels on your own property, and you can become off grid for your power.
Really? When most of these not wonderful, not actually farms, solar farms are being put in, in the Midwest where we have winter. Long, dark nights and little sun. Michigan is the second cloudiest state in the Union, and there are hundreds of these projects going, all federally subsidized. No one wants them, but they are paying farmers more to “lease” their land than they can make farming. How many solar farms do you have in your neighborhood?
Sure, a lot of those projects are stupid.
Using farmland, or heavily subsidized projects.
But solar panels themselves are a great innovation.
Eventually, we'll all be crammed together in small urban compounds while the rest of the land is filled with solar panels and wind turbines.
And ruining our countryside
climate change agenda-another one bites the dust!!!
A few years back I saw a grasshopper in a water bowl we left out for our dogs. I thought it very unusual and didn't know why a grasshopper would drown itself. A few minutes later I saw a worm wriggle out from the grasshopper. Turns out, grasshoppers infected with a certain type of larvae are driven to "commit suicide by drowning" when the larvae hatch are want to be released.
The Democrat party has jumped into the bowl of TDS water. Now I'm waiting to see what type of worms emerge from the liberal philosophies.
Great analogy but eww! Gross 😝
Watch the streets of America's blue state cities this Saturday, entomoloy guide in hand.
LOL
And red states’ blue cities (e.g., Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Austin). Even in my mostly red city in Texas, there’s a protest scheduled.
I’m planning to stay out in the burbs this weekend as I’m guessing the blue city will have protests. They probably won’t get out this far, especially since the main road is in construction putting green space in the middle of the very busy road YAY! (it is Michigan, ya know, and warm weather brings out the yellow cones to “fix the damn roads”).
I can top that - you would think SANDY HOOK CT would stay away from this sort of incitement but there’s a no kings rally scheduled for Newtown tomorrow. These people are angry evil vile devils
Sandy Hook was a BIG LIE.

I'm in central TX, not far from Kerrville which has a lot of retirees. I may drive out there for the entertainment value. I may try to entice the protesters away with a bocce ball court.

I don’t expect that larvae to produce butterflies for sure.

and it is beauty to behold!
I’m with Annie, ew, gross. Poor grasshopper.
Geez, Jeff... Now that you've clarified the Florida anti-protest law... Does this mean I have to remove the Cow Catcher from the family 4x4?
Just narrow it from 12 feet to the widest dimension on the truck. You’ll be legal.
I'd think with a cow catcher you can just plow ahead, with little fear of running people over. Some actively might work at rolling back under the car, though.
Awesome visual!
Love that game!

The Israeli attack on Iran was similar to the recent one by Ukraine on Russia, where they had guys with drones staged throughout Iran and flew them into radars and defense bases across Iran before the main missile waves came from Israel itself.
Very effective. However this tactic will be used on western assets soon enough. Buckle up.
Jeffrey Sachs: Ukraine/Russia Dangerous New Escalation, & the Dark Forces Pushing for War With Iran
THE TUCKER CARLSON SHOW
131 MINS
Jeffrey Sachs on how to save the United States from getting sucked into utterly catastrophic wars with Iran and Russia.
https://tuckercarlson.com/tucker-show-jeff-sachs-2025?watchedTime=71.79035
Tucker published this Commentary this morning...............................
Drop Them
“From this day forward, it’s going to be only America first. America first.”
That’s a direct quote from Donald Trump’s first inaugural address, and it’s the same sentiment that thrust him back into the White House in January. Now, the world will find out if he really meant it.
Now that Benjamin Netanyahu and his war-hungry government have executed their long-awaited assault, the president faces a legacy-altering decision: to support, or not to support?
We’d like to take this opportunity to state our position as clearly as possible. The United States should not at any level participate in a war with Iran. No funding, no American weapons, no troops on the ground. Regardless of what our “special ally” says, a fight with the Iranians has nothing to offer the United States. It is not in our national interest.
If Israel wants to wage this war, it has every right to do so. It is a sovereign country, and it can do as it pleases. But not with America’s backing. At an absolute minimum, the United States continuing to insert itself in this conflict will further whip up the radical Islamic world’s hatred for the West and fuel the next generation of terrorism. The worst case? Thousands of immediate American deaths, all in the name of a foreign agenda that has nothing to do with our country.
It goes without saying that neither of those possibilities would be beneficial for the United States. But there is another option: drop Israel. Let them fight their own wars.
No matter how many bogus antisemitism allegations neocon ghouls like Mark Levin hurl at Americans who advocate for that path, opposing destroying the United States in the name of the Netanyahu government has nothing to do with Israel. It’s about America. We reject the idea of involving the U.S. in an Israeli war for the same reason we would stand against doing the same thing on behalf of Eritrea, Suriname, Cambodia, or any other random country you could close your eyes and point at on a map. It is not America’s fight. Engaging in it would be a middle finger in the faces of the millions of voters who cast their ballots in hopes of creating a government that would finally put the United States first. What happens next will define Donald Trump’s presidency.
Mark Levin is an intelligent moron with zero common sense.
to which, we all laughed, shrugged and bought a $15 latte
Required listening IMO. Or, if you don’t have 2 hours here’s the 15 minute version. https://youtu.be/W5zKOw2nEEA
Finally we cannot avoid the facts here — that Israel is the aggressor and the US is Bibi’s lapdog.

The history of humanity - there is only war and preparation for war.
Sad!
Talks were to happen on Sunday with Iran. Could this not waited until after we saw if they agreed to terms?
Our country has demonstrated to the world that we cannot be trusted. Such a sad day. I didn’t vote for this!!!
Lindsay Graham and the other neocon Zionists are thrilled right now.
Here is my take: if you support this war, suit up and prepare to report for combat duty— and be prepared to commit any military age children you have to do the same.
Just like Europe, the whole point IS the war. NATO, EU and Netanyahu.... they only retain power if the go to war. Peace would bring about their fall. We are about to find out where Trump's loyalties lie.
I shake my head and do not understand that Phil. Not cerebral enough or I just am not able to comprehend how war mongers think. Heavy sigh.
BFM, if talks were planned for Sunday, why could this attack not have been put off a few days? Perhaps they would have come to an agreement this time around.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice…

I was sure this would be your lead story today:
Over the past five years, those who tried to warn us that the C*v*d shots were harmful, were defamed. Yesterday, the truth was exposed: https://tuzarapost.substack.com/.../military-arrests-five... June 11, 2025
After Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy on Tuesday fired the CDC’s entire vaccine panel—a committee of 17 virologists, immunologists, and researchers that advises the government on vaccine safety—US Army Criminal Investigation agents showed up at five members’ homes with judicial and military arrest warrants.
According to a White Hat source, CID had foreknowledge of the firings, and the arrests had been timed to coincide with the terminations.
While he wouldn’t name those apprehended, he did say CID caught three men and two women, all agency veterans who had been on the advisory panel for at least eight years, and all of whom are guilty of destroying government documents that correlated COVID-19 vaccinations with a marked increase in coronary deaths, immune deficiency disorders, and cases of sudden onset epilepsy.
When Kennedy took over HHS, which manages the CDC, he tasked computer scientists and data recovery experts with discreetly performing digital forensics on the advisory panel’s workstations at CDC headquarters in Atlanta.
President Trump and Kennedy, he added, had handpicked trustworthy analysts who had visited the panel’s offices in the dead of night and cloned hard drives and other storage devices.
Like many government entities, the CDC still uses antiquated hardware, such as hard drives with spinning platters and USB thumb drives.
Between May 15 and June 1, our source said, the analysts completed several forays into the CDC’s headquarters and found a treasure trove of incriminatory data.
“I’m not a technical guy, so I don’t understand how and all what they did, but they figured out, by login IDs, that these guys, the CDC bastards, extensively documented, then deleted, reams and reams of data on adverse vaccine side effects. Apparently, they didn’t do a decent job at deleting it because it was recoverable. They wanted to hide the truth.”
The analysts, he added, identified five individuals who had written and deleted data in 2020 and 2021.
“Secretary Kennedy gave the info to President Trump, and he ordered CID to handle the arrests,” our source said.
Although we don’t have specific details about the arrests, we’ve been told they occurred yesterday afternoon and evening. If we get elucidating info, we’ll post a follow-up.
“Even if only five of them are guilty,” our source said in closing. “Kennedy had to disband the entire team, in case they’re all corrupt.”
Please, let this be true. Thank you, AW, for posting.
Gallows for those 5. They killed millions, time to pay.
Wow, is this true? If so, crazy that it is not being widely reported.
Florida Sheriff Delivers a Bone-Chilling Message to Leftists and Illegal Aliens Planning to Riot in His County
https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1933227784941236615
I love this sheriff. "We're going to tell your family where they can collect your remains" Yes please.
We got the whole state. It’s not just county. It’s this thing we call self defense.
As I said earlier, violent rioters attack me or mine in my car, it will take me less than 2 weeks to flatten the curve.
I heard it, loved it, applauded!
2 comments - from a personal defense/firearms instructor.
1. Don't make any comments about carrying or, ".
I have .357 reasons the protesters won't bother me...etc..etc." on any social media. Because if, coincidentally you're unfortunately implicated in a shooting...guess what? Any good attorney will dig up those comments, made in jest or not....shhh.
2. The best defense against the rioters? Learn where they are and avoid at all costs. Let them have their lunacy-fest.
Great advice! But how do you tell people with families that attending the No Kings events probably are NOT going to be family events? 🤦♀️
Oh, they'll find out...
That's what I'm afraid of. 😬
Well, people with families should probably not bring their families to the riots. Hopefully, it will only be stupid people who do this, and improve the gene pool by doing so.
They are not being advertised as protest events. The one in the next town over from us is being presented as a community fair - I forget the exact verbiage . . .
Not here. Saturday was "No Kings" day. What a dumb idea.
I was on my way to my nephew's wedding in Chico (4 hours away) on Saturday morning and was delayed by 50 or so of these morons massed at a busy intersection less than a mile from my house. They were screwing up traffic and the chickenshits who couldn't be bothered to come out and hold a sign were "honking in support" as they drove by (contributing to the ambient noise pollution), and then 2 morons making left turns across my lane got stuck in the middle of the intersection, blocking my way, because protestors decided to cross the intersection against the light.
I certainly wasn't going to honk out of solidarity, but when the traffic snarl they created blocked my passage, I laid into my horn and didn't let up until these dipshits got out of my way - about a minute or more. I was hoping I was making the protestors at least as uncomfortable as they made me by delaying my progress. It made my wife a little pissy for a while (she didn't like the horn - I was wishing it was a lot louder), but she got over it after a little while.
Probably not very "mature". But at least "my voice was heard" - like they were hoping for. I think mine had more of an effect.
The gal babysitting my wife's cat while we were gone - an ex-next-door-neighbor who is very nice, very liberal, and not exactly the most informed voter to put it mildly, left a note on the counter - "the protest was great!"... Not from my point of view...
I'm surrounded by older white liberal Trump-deranged dipshits here in Northern Cali...
But when we got into the San Joaquin Valley farm country, we were in California MAGA country. The underpopulated central and eastern areas of the state are more conservative. It's the urban coastal areas (where I live) where the idiot libs teem. It's also the temperate climate, most beautiful scenery (besides the southern Cascades and the Sierra) and the priciest real estate.
I keep telling myself I have to get out of here, but I live in a great place and I have a good job, one that I'm not sure I could find elsewhere at my age. So I'm trapped between living among my enemies and facing an uncertain future in an unfamiliar place, away from the few family members I have left.
My cousin did tell me she has a time share in Captiva/Sanabel in Florida and they bought a vacation home in St. Joe. If we can make it there, it would be nice to meet up with some of our Florida friends!
Let them go. If they can't rationalize that the entire "No Kings," is a ploy.... like "hands up, can't breathe," then you'll not get through to them. Just keep yourself and your kids safe....
We should not be afraid bc some libtard so called attorney digs something up. Screw them. If we are attacked, down they go. Period. Us or them and won't be us.
There's a difference between being afraid and being smart.
You can be both.
Nah...i find just being smart takes care of it.
good for you:}
Not covered today a couple of topics I'm not happy about. #1- amnesty for illegals in farm/hotel areas. This is a slippery slope and NOT America first. Deport all illegals should still be the goal and they NEED to fine the companies that employ them. There are many farms that are American employees only and they do just fine. #2- letting 500k Chinese over here to go to school. How about no? We've seen what happens (Harvard), let's not continue.
Actually the farm system is in a bad way. I live rural, but apparently most farms are surviving with government subsidies. Many farmers need day jobs and ever expanding expansion of acreage to try to finish ahead. By far the main crops are corn and soy ( both of which are put to hugely problematic uses). The majority of farmers do not get to enjoy the profit of their labors. Instead there are mega businesses which take the fruit of their labor, giving them a pretty low price, and turning it around to sell for a more generous profit for them. So many farmers feel squeezed and needing to continually find ways to up production... Meanwhile they often have massive loans on the line, for expensive equipment and such, and stand to lose everything. I personally think the human trafficking happening with immigrants takes advantage of the current system which is not humane to farmers, and of course this system will not be humane to the imported labor. We just had a dairy farmer in MN who was not paying workers. There was a meat packing plant seen to have children working. The production demands get passed on to immigrants who are afraid to complain, and they're ending up in the medical system which is the last place before they're thrown in the heap after they find they have life-disabling injuries that cannot be undone.
:( so this makes it even more desirable for me to want no amnesty for illegals, it would just keep propping up something that needs a total overhaul that uses and abuses both illegals and farmers.
I am trying to figure out how to express it best, but I think you're on the right track. There are a lot of pieces fit to, dependent upon, and actively perpetuating a bad system. But, if I'm inclined to try to name the bad actors, who are they? I think certainly these monopolized industries like the meat packing companies who make a huge profit off of shorting farmers which forces them to grow feeder meat fed on cheap glyphosate covered corn, raising line speeds and other inhumane work conditions to up productivity, and actively employing a work force which is easy to use and abuse. Our small local butchers do not run a business which systematically and necessarily requires using up human beings until they are too physically damaged to work.
Obviously in this case e-verify is not addressing the widespread ssn identity theft by people using the strategy that has been used so commonly and by so many so as to probably feel normalized. I don't know that for sure, but I am guessing that is what is happening. So, the government needs to close off all of the incentive loops.
What I do not agree with in a common narrative is the conflating of unpapered immigrants with the full extent of moral blaming, just as I did not agree with the pejorative treatment of the unpapered who did not get the shots. I know a lot of unpapered people, and there are many good neighbors amongst them, just as amongst, say, the readership here. As with many things, each person's piece of responsibility is fitting to them, and is unlikely to be entire. Within all of this, I tend to imagine that we are more alike and better suited as mutually supportive than not. I doubt anyone wants to fight to perpetuate what is in effect human trafficking that has fallout for everyone, and of course for those whose lack of papers makes them easy to be used to many an end.
Why not arrest the illegals, give them 3 year sentences for their crimes, make them work the fields for NOTHING but bread and water?
Cruel and unusual. I understand your hyperbole.
What is cruel and unusual is asking American citizens to fund many millions of illegal parasites, and to excuse their criminality and hatred of America.
You woke scumbags that despise America are despicable turds. I hope you are all jabbed and fully boosted...
Lots of outrage on X from diehard Trump supporters for his stupid ideas in regard to farm workers and Chinese students.
I don't blame them, he has the momentum of more people backing deportations due to LA riots and he's going to back down? Bad enough anchor babies give amnesty, we don't need any other type. If he's going to be America first, then we need to go through the pains of what we have to in order to BE America first. It was hard for the south to go without slaves, but they figured it out eventually.
Many folks wrote that the hotel industry could use American teenagers as workers giving them the opportunity to earn money.
Trump is deeply flawed, and I was strong MAGA.
His support for the vile, corrupt scumbags of both Israel and Ukraine is shocking and appalling. His Big Bill is a barrel of rancid pork.
I'm rooting hard for Iran and Russia... yes, seriously.
Agree. Trump is not the strong, principled man he claims to be.
FWIW — Charlie Kirk was running X polls last night on Israel’s war against Iran, and responses were running 85% against Israel, and against US backing up Israel. And his followers are huge MAGA Trump supporters.
Trump has somehow been captured/compromised by Israel and AIPAC.
No shock, as bribery and extortion is what those rats are good at... that and mass-murder. Guess what the Epstein operation was all about?
Agreed.
“Progressives had the sympathy of Twitter’s professional-class employees,” she explained, “who proved increasingly susceptible to liberals’ demands for tighter moderation policies on things such as using male pronouns to refer to a transgender woman.”
The inversion of language is demonic. To call it "moderation" to insist that one hold an extreme, nonsensical view is depravity. It's just one more way to get people to subconsciously concede to a lie, and to compromise their thinking.
