Brian Kemp is a snake. He ushered Dominion in during his tenure as Sec of State before running for Governor and has never lost an opportunity to stab Trump in the back, even though he literally owes Trump his governorship (Trump endorsed him and rallied for him when he was running for his first term, was far behind and Trump’s support absolutely revitalized his campaign as well as causing his primary opponent to drop out).
Kemp refused to call a special session to investigate the 2020 fraud when it happened, although he briefly hinted he would (on a news show a few days after the election) and the next day his daughter’s boyfriend died in a suspicious, fiery single car “accident.” (Side note: The GBI agent in charge of investigating this “accident” committed suicide even shortly into the investigation though friends and family said he was not at all suicidal).
The day after the car crash Kemp came out and affirmed that he wouldn’t call a special session to address widespread concerns of voter fraud including in Fulton County and he has toed the anti-Trump line ever since.
I don’t even think this bill he signed will be a good thing - as a voter I DO want to know if the candidates who are running are Democrats or Republicans. Even for county dog catcher, I care if someone embraces a platform that promotes the death of babies and the death of our constitutional republic.
Also, my speculation was that the death of the boyfriend was aimed at Kelly Loeffler, whose aid he was, and who was filling out a Senate term and running for the Senate in her own right, as much as Kemp. She reneged on her Jan. 6th promise, too.
I think it was a “kill two birds with one stone;” but I watched these events play out in real time and I’ll never forgot how quickly Kemp pivoted back to obedience to whomever his overlords are (personally I think the Chinese - but the waters are muddy). Loeffler stayed the course through her race but it never felt like her heart was really in it. I’m guessing the whole group of them that election cycle - Trump, Perdue and Loeffler - were coming to the realization that Georgia was more corrupt than they’d ever understood and it would be almost impossible for anyone outside the the Georgia state Republican Party establishment (who are largely rabidly anti-Trump) to win that year. Georgia needs some deep cleaning.
P Burne has spent much of his fortune, exposing Venezuela where the software controlling all voting machines is from. Serbia is where the machines (those said to have no internet connection) have programmers waiting with many back doors to wank any election WORLDWIDE. Has not been different in decades.
So, the capture of Maduro, hamstrung the operations to some extent. Paper ballots same day counting everywhere.
GA, specifically Fulsom county is best provable case example.
I see their deaths like how the Mob sends dead fish/horse heads as a message. And that it's not merely a coincidence that after the mysterious deaths of Kemp/Loeffler associate and the police investigator Georgia R's stopped their challenge, anyone questioning results was called election deniers and prosecuted.
It seems to me that the National Crime Syndicate merged with the US Government, and that crime syndicates in each nation merged with their governments, global governments?
Is the world as we're taught and imagine it to be, our governance we think we have a say in actually a giant criminal racket? With racketeers sitting in bodies like Congress and the UN that aren't much different in operation than how the meetings of mob families are portrayed in movies like The Godfather and Analyze This?
What if, mobster-like squeezes are put on candidates and elected officials? Perhaps they are Brave, pushing for freedom, but they learn that it won't be them who first faces the mafiosos. It will be their loved ones, associates? Dead fish placed in boxes on doorsteps? Horse heads in beds?
If the reality is that starkly evil then what? Do we give up? Do we hunker down and protect our own, try to make do in a f'd up evil world run by criminals, mafioso's?
I don't think that's my calling. Probably not others on this Stack. If the reality is that starkly evil then I think the first thing we need to do is acknowledge that reality. The first step is admitting we don't live in the world we thought we lived in. Only from that honest assessment are we able to take the next steps that are necessary to make it the world we thought we lived in. And I know with certainty that that will involve bravery. It's not, "Land of the free. Oh, and some Brave people call it home, too." Freedom truly isn't free. The Brave make it free. Bravery is a requirement, not optional, for any land to be free. The Powers That Be tricked too many of us into believing our system itself makes us free and will protect us, no bravery required. I find my bravery in God's eternal grace.
I have five sons and for maybe for this reason this young man’s death hit me really hard.
His name was Harrison Deal; a year or two after his death I went looking for more info on him and found an article written about him stating how he was a believer in Jesus and was active in his Christian fraternity. That he loved encouraging others and was deepening his relationship with Christ and sharing God’s truth with those around him.
Wow. What happened to him was an almost unspeakable tragedy, yet Satan and the forces of evil did not win the day they thought they destroyed Harrison Deal. Instead he opened his eyes to his Savior’s face and left behind a legacy that pointed to Christ. At 20 years old.
I only knew a 20 year old man most likely died because he had dated the governors daughter and was a convenient (expendable) target to send a gruesome message! (so it seemed!)
At the time it happened I had a 20 year old son (youngest) - I cried for a young man I did not know! And I understood the "message" even though it was not directed to me - and thought:
"What has this Governor gotten himself into?!" and
"How can this happen in the USA?!!!"
2020 - 2024 - worse 4 year Presidency in this nation! And many RINOS contributed to escalate the fraud, deception, and injustices!
I felt the same about Charlie Kirks assassination. This is the first I am learning about this young man in Georgia. His poor parents and family. What kind of evil, tangled web has the Socialist/Democrat Party aligned themselves with? Oh, wait.. for two seconds, I forgot about the Clinton's and the similar tactics they used against their enemies and their own people, for decades!
Word is, Keshia Lance Bottoms, she of Atlanta Mayor's office fame, is going to run for Governor of Georgia this summer. BTW, I live in far northeast Georgia, in the mountains, surrounded by hollers populated by armed guys named Bubba.
People have no idea how true your last statement is. Georgia needs some deep cleaning.
I say, out the heavy yellow equipment and start with Fani, Stacey Abrams and her Happy Face Temp Agency pals, Fulton Co. Commissioner Marvin Arrington, who regularly shows his considerable backside in Fulton Co. Commission meetings— and just walks out, nail Brad Raffensberger, (Conservative Christian,
In Michigan many of the court justices we vote on are listed as “non partisan”. It’s how we ended up with a MI Supreme Court, 7-2, in favor of Liberal justices. As a state we have tanked because of this. Dems now run virtually everything in this state, and try as we might, we can’t seem to get past a system in which Dems are always 3 steps ahead. The current SoS is literally the only candidate for Governor. She has been found guilty numerous times of voting infractions during Covid. She was a board member of the now indicted Southern Law Poverty group, but nothing sticks. In our open August primary, numerous Dems will crossover and vote for the weakest GOP candidate. It’s how they operate every single time. Our weak MiGOP always helps them out. The media is silent except for whatever the President is doing.
This is also true in Washington state. The last 30 years this state, over half conservative has installed the most liberal judges, local and state politicians in our history. Voters need to do better. Non partisan does not mean non partisan. It means the campaign is protecting them from issue based debates. But they will judge and sentence on those beliefs.
Same in Minnesota. I want to know what party affiliation a judge has. There is no such thing as a nonpartisan judge, which has been obvious. Especially when it comes to violent criminals & also Trump.
This. Born in western WA and now on the east side partly due to politics. It has consistently gone to the left as far back as I remember following politics since the late seventies. I do not see it coming back anytime soon.
The only way I can imagine Washington turning red is for voting to be a 1-day event, with ID required, paper ballots only...but with our current crop of bigwigs, it's hard to imagine that happening.
Praying that President Trump has a plan to bring back in-person voting...
Conservative voters need to spend a few minutes on the internet before going to the polls and playing ‘eenie, meenie, meenie, mo’. Every candidate is going to have a campaign website and it should be pretty obvious where they stand.
Not in Illinois. I tried to do that last election cycle for judges and most of them didn’t have anything anywhere to gauge. Trying to find court cases was nearly impossible. The average American doesn’t have the internet/research savvy to uncover the truth.
Look at who is endorsing them. Is it the cavalcade of DEI/hyphenated law organizations, like Hispanic National Bar Association (HNBA), National Bar Association (NBA) for African American lawyers, National Asian Pacific American Bar Association (NAPABA), and local chapters like the Los Abogados Hispanic Bar Association, National Association of Women Lawyers (NAWL) and law school alumni groups like the Harvard Law School Association where you know they've been fully indoctrinated and steeped in DEI/CRT woke leftist grievances. If they are Bar Association endorsed just remember what Bar Associations across the nation have done to conservatives, those representing Trump, J6, election fraud, gun rights, etc cases that leftists hate. Judge judges based on their endorsements. You can also look their names up in news media, see what types of cases they've represented, made a public splash with.
Time consuming, indeed. Also, try looking for the union "Bug" on their printed campaign materials, I described another comment nearby, provided link to picture of what they look like, what to look for. The "Bug" means Democrat.
I think this is true too. Finding true accurate info can be like finding a needle in a haystack and if people aren’t adept at or don’t have the time to handle online research (maybe like, elderly, people who are ill, including chronically ill, those caretaking disabled family members, pregnant moms chasing other kids) there’s just a crush of needs to research and often the election isn’t the first fire in peoples lives.
I write in Clarence Thomas for judges, WS. Write-in votes have to be adjudicated so it makes an impact, shows that I am not happy voting for the incumbent. In Oregon, the birth state of the mail in voting experiment, judges 'retire' just before the end of their term. The governor (dem for 40 years now) appoints the replacement. The replacement then runs as the incumbent and is re-elected as many terms as as desired. Thus through vote by mail and union money the left controls everything. Governorship, legislature, judiciary. The left has built a virtual firewall against losing and Oregon shows it. Last in most every category: education, livability and migration, crime and safety and environment. It's not all bad, Oregon is near the top in taxation 😵💫
Thankfully in San Diego we have Carl DeMaio’s conservative voter’s guide that he puts out every year, and he covers the school board and judicial candidates as well. It’s always a laugh/cry situation if your particular district’s choice is listed by him as “You are doomed” - meaning it’s only progressive candidates to pick from. He definitely does his homework. Our governor election primary has 62 candidates running, an absolute joke. 🙄
God bless him! A lot of areas will have a local Republican group that will produce a voter guide. We need to become more election conscious. The Demon rats certainly are.
I get your point but see my comment to UM Ross below - many of us are in a state of research fatigue - not because we don’t care but because there is SO MUCH we have to research now, down to why our reverse osmosis system is causing rampant dental decay and if our kids’ toothpaste active ingredient is crossing the blood brain barrier. It’s brutal!
Why remove these partisan designations? I don’t get the benefit at all.
I can only guess that there’s the hope that a certain low IQ block of people that vote Democrat at a 90% level won’t know who to vote for if they don’t see a ‘D’. But someone else will probably already have voted for them anyway. So, I sort of have to agree with you.
And of course those AI tools were trained on modern documents which lean heavily liberal. So do a little research on how you can minimize the liberal bias of your favorite AI tools. I'm still a newbie and yes, the fatigue is real.
I asked Google's AI-chatbot-whatever it's called where I could watch the DC Correspondents Dinner on TV. It listed just about every way but I noticed, no Fox. So then I asked it, is Fox covering it? It then gave me a detailed list of what they were doing. Then, I asked it, why didn't you include Fox the first time - I really hope you are not woke or left-biased. It quickly apologized AND TOLD ME IT WOULD BE MORE OBJECTIVE FROM ON. I replied, well thank you for being honest! EEGADS!
Yep, my experience too. You always have to check the bots bias. Good news is when you call it out, it usually responds...but do you trust it then? I'm skeptical, even though I keep using it!
It also depends strongly on the question. I was just asking Grok about the Climate Scam. What programs are out there (there's a cap and trade "tax" in my State of WA that adds $0.52 to $0.62 to every gallon of gas!), which are on someone's radar for repeal, what the total cost/drag on the economy is, etc. That last question's answer could definitely be biased but the first ones are just lists of programs. If it misses a few, that's ok...I still get the gist.
Scary, conversing with an artificial data base, I've done it myself. This is how society is losing the children. What man intended for good the devil will use for evil.
I have to do the same on DDGO Browser since they partnered with Micro Soft. Talk about overlords! Fox is only shown after 5 pages of MSM stations and most a repeat of pages one and two or articles from 3 years ago!
Good suggestion but many, including me, find election day has arrived and researching candidates in obscure non-partisan races never reached the top of our never exhausted to-do list. I never play eenie, meenie, mynee, mo'. The dems are so bad, and vote as a bloc so even a good dem, if such exist, can't get my vote. So for me, straight R, and if it's non--partisan and I have no idea, I skip it. Why would I cast an uninformed vote?
Sadly, this is exactly why they don't put parties on judges ,etc. They want the Republicans not voting so that the Dems win no matter the margins. In California, they instituted jungle primaries where the top two vote getters go to the general election. This year, in the Governors race, the Democrats (having held the office by hook and for crooks, the past 16-20 years) are offering up complete and utter idiots, incapable of original thought and steeped in decades old TDS. So, to date, the two Republican candidates are polling in the lead!
Well, this cannot happen in a communist State like California, so outgoing Governor Newsom is insinuating that their will be a crooked Democrat to vote for even if he and his legislative posse have to hold another covert, law changing session in the 11th hour! I kid you not, the rules are only in place if it furthers Democrats. Newsom also hinted that he has so many people in "agency positions" that Democrat voters will not really be disenfranchised by a Republican Governor, or he was hinting that He has the Chaos Mobs waiting to burn down the homes and businesses, or he has another Plandemic brewing to gain back control if needed! Dem speak is a coded language at best that drips with deceit disguised as hope and change!
I am not big on the Non Partisan races either. In our Town we have the Proud D party posting daily on their candidates. I am still in the hopes that we need educated voters, not the ones who just vote “with” who they’re told or “against” those they hate. And man, there are plenty ignorant voters. 😔
Bingo! basically, if you live in a Blue State and the office holder or candidate got their position between 2013 and 2025, they are likely a Soros, Rockefeller, NGO, funded DEI hire or candidate! Not hyperbole once you read the playbook!
The language they use in their campaign brochures is usually the giveaway. Some of them blatantly say "fight Trump", so that is the easy tell they are part of the Socialist/Democrat chaos machine!
It's called TDS. It affects Dems everywhere, not just Georgia. But in Georgia they are angry about the denial of getting their "evidence" back from the Fulton County raid in January.
The Data Republican Sub Stack had a piece on this a few days ago. It traces the takeover of all branches of Gov't, National, State and Local back to a 2013 question. It all started with a question about what will our Democracy look like in 2026!
That question along with far too much money by NGO Foundations such as Rockefeller Trust, JP Morgan, etc., Started a brainstorming session to end our Constitutional Republic and a slow but steady movement to have the new Government in place throughout the USA by the 250th celebration!
"as a voter I DO want to know if the candidates who are running are Democrats or Republicans."
As a C&C reader, I would think you have the wherewithal to research the candidates yourself. I know I do exactly that when we have "nonpartisan" races on the ballot in my home state of Pennsylvania, because I sure wouldn't want to vote for a Democrat by accident!
Why not just simplify matters and put it beside their names on the ballot?
I research a ton. I research medical freedom, I research ingredients lists, I research a wide range of alternative medicine remedies for my 7 person immediate family. I research natural child birth, and gardening and nutrition and history and homeschooling - and also I am raising and homeschooling five kids - and countless other things (like if our organic veggies are actually organic, or if the super clean soap I’m using is still causing eczema…etc), I’m weary of having to deep dive for EVERY little thing. And I know I’m not the only one who feels this way. I’d appreciate if they’d just leave the dang partisan labels on the ballot.
Fortunately for us there was a trend that began about 40 years ago of giving babies crazy unAmerican sounding names. So, if you see Da’Presshus Jackson or La’Manjello Quin’ton White on the ballot that is a democrat dead giveaway!
New adorable identical twins at my church were courageously named Thaddeus and Theophilus (or, Most Excellent Theophilus). They sure smile a lot so they must like their namesakes….
Whenever you get a political campaign mailer or flyer on your door look for the union "Bug." Especially for the "nonpartisan" local races where it's hard to figure out.
The union "Bug" is printed on election materials for Democrats. A known shorthand for those in the know. If a known Republican uses the "Bug" very good odds they are a Rino.
I ran political campaigns for two decades, worked with my share of print shops. A heavily unionized industry. They price differently for the inclusion of the "Bug." It has known value.
Look for a union bug on the printed material. The union bug is usually at the bottom of the material, and that alone will tell you whether or not a piece is union printed. If the printed material does not have a bug, it likely was not printed by a union printer.
- What does a union bug mean?
When it comes to union printers, the largest labor organization, printers union – with councils throughout the United States and Canada – is known as the Allied Printing Trades Council. There are two unions that comprise this council: The Graphic Communications Conference (GCC) and the Communications Workers of America (CWA). There are some smaller union organizations that have organized print shops, including the Painters and Allied Trades (most often seen in the making of signs, buttons, etc.), as well as independent unions located in geographic regions of the country. It is important to note that only print shops with their employees unionized by recognized union organizations or shops that have a valid union label license agreement are authorized to print the union printers’ bug on their pieces.
In the printing industry, union printers place their union bug with their respective registry number on the pieces they print as an assurance of craftsmanship and quality. In short, the bug is a sign of union-approved working conditions. If you want to know where something was printed just go to Google and type in the union number and name, and it will tell you the name of the printer.
- What if I don’t want a union bug on my Mail?
Even if our client is non-political, or running for office in a non-union friendly area, we often still use union printers. We just ask that the union bug be removed from the printed materials.
Overall, there are a lot of benefits to using union printing. So, if you’re running for office and need something printed, show your support for the progressive movement by choosing a union printer."
"Tim Burton, company president, notes that his company has an advantage when it comes to bidding on work for political and advertising clients who require the union bug."
A letter out of the alphabet doesn’t give one any idea how a person will represent their constituents. Your county or state GOP is there to help. Look them up - they possibly have a newsletter you can subscribe to.
Our GA state GOP is a RINO, anti-Trump mess (unless it’s an election year, then they grovel for a bit but they hate him). They’re like, in a ‘90s political mindset and that is probably being too kind because it excuses them as if they don’t know. But they do.
I have been a member of and worked with our local party before, multiple times, but it’s too time-consuming for a full-time, stay at home, homeschooling mom of five kids 3-13, with no childcare for meetings (and yes, I took them with me for a time but eventually I had to step back). I realize there’s more to voting than the letter after the name but what earthly positive purpose is served by removing that starting place for voters? At least if it’s R you know that person had to sign on to the Republican platform to be approved to run, and if it’s D, same, as a Democrat. That IS a help, even if ideally you can do more research.
You described my take perfectly. It's great some voters research every non-partisan race. My wife does that. I don't. I research a lot of stuff, but obscure races are not one of them. I should, if I cast a vote in those races. If it's non-partisan and I don't know the candidates, I skip those. Sure it's nice if you research every race but none of us are perfect.
Every time you skip a candidate, the left thanks you for not turning out and allowing them to take the obscure offices. That is how they take over schoolboards and other, small local races.
If you don't know anything about the candidates, including political party, how does it hurt the left to randomly pick one? You're as likely to pick a lefty as a righty. If you're inclined to research every candidate in every race, that's nice. Most won't, and making an uninformed choice is worse than no choice.
I love people who do deep dives into topics like these and do a lot of it myself. I wish I knew you in real life:)
It does get overwhelming. If I knew more people in real life who do this kind of research, I could trust their results to some degree and they could similarly trust mine and we could each save ourselves some time.
It is disturbing that it is becoming known that Democrats are openly saying to lie and run as Republicans. We already put up with fake "MAGA" rinos running.
About those fake MAGA rino's we're already putting up with...they *did* lie and run as Republicans. Rino isn't just a hyperbolic slur we emote over when they vote like Democrats. They ARE Democrats. Who lied and ran as Republicans.
You know those R's who get elected in heavily D places like Massachusetts, New Jersey and Maryland? They ARE Democrats. Mitt Romney, Charlie Baker, Chris Christie, Larry Hogan = Democrats. Or D's running as R's in heavily R places like Nicky Haley in South Carolina or John Cornyn in Texas, they know they can't win as D's in those states.
I knew local Democrat officials in my very Democrat city who told me straight up that they would run as Republicans if they couldn't get through the main Democrat party apparatus. This happens on both sides of the aisle where the path to getting the nomination runs through an entrenched power block. But much moreso on the D side of things.
R's stupidly embrace the new "convert" and hand the nomination to the opportunistic D's, hoping they'll end up with a D-lite winner. But when the D-lite winner then tries to parlay their "centrist R" credentials into a national campaign, the national GOP tries to shove them down our throats the base doesn't turn out, like it didn't for Democrat Mitch Romney when he ran as a Republican against Obama, and then we end up with an Obama. Heads they win, tails we lose.
It shows you how bad they know their policies or lack of them, they know they are that they have to run as a Rebublcan and then show their true colors after taking office.
Your local Republican state committee knows who the players are in elections. You need to get on their email list.
Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC) is a separate national organization focused on down-ballot state races. It was founded in 2002, has Matt Walter as President, and is chaired by Steve Crisafulli. The RSLC aims to elect Republicans to state legislatures, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, and judicial positions across all 50 states.
I’m connected with my local Republican Party already but they don’t always share our values in terms of medical freedom and smaller government, and although I tried to attend meetings regularly for several years the reality is that I had to stop because I couldn’t cart five kids and a baby along anymore. It just wasn’t feasible for this season of my life.
I don’t understand how taking partisan designations off the ballot will improve anything…
Are you on a medical freedom organization’s mailing list? I got emails before our recent primary elections that named their endorsed candidates. I found that to be helpful.
Here in the PNW, we receive a Voter’s Guide pamphlet every election cycle. In it are all the candidates & measures from Federal, State & County, and some offices are non-partisan (councilors, commissioners, judges, auditor, DA). But, all you have to do is see who they are endorsed by, as this is also published. SEIU, AFSCME or AFL-CIO backing you? That’s a hard no. Teacher’s Union endorsed you? The same. In this current cycle one of the non-partisan candidates even listed the “Jane Fonda Climate PAC’ as a supporter.
I remember my parents getting some excellent voters guides from man…what was it called…I can picture the conservative leader of the movement back in the day - Ralph Reed…it’ll come to me. Anyhow, I haven’t found anything comprehensive for local or state races in my area, but it’s a great idea to dig around for this, thank you!
Maybe if I find some good relevant voters guides I can help get them in the hands of my friends and peers too 💕
League of women voters is run by far left bozos! A close friend of mine was thrilled to be invited to a meeting in 2024. She hadn't been in years. Five minutes into the gathering she was appalled by the atmosphere, got up and left. It was that bad!
Thank you for that comment. This kind of "activity" is common in the latter days of an empire. Cut-and-paste from the latter days of the Roman Empire. Buckle up, it's going to be a roller coaster ride as real law and order break down.
If you think this is not happening here, you are not paying attention. In 1970, America was 90 American white and 10% American black, all American citizens. We are now down to less than 60% white and falling. Non-citizen aliens account for almost a third of our total population.
Ever hear the phrase, "Stranger In A Strange Land"? At what point does our land become so strange that we are now strangers in our own land?
Our local GOP distributes information flyers that recommend Republican Candidates before every "non-partisan category" election. Democrats bitch. We don't care, people who want to vote for Republicans are glad to receive the information.
Lets take the challenge and raise awareness shall we?
SSRI's as mentioned have been widely prescribed to countless people mostly for those
whose family members or closely associated insist. Like the fraudulent vaxs and quaxs it requires people who comprehend little to nothing about health.
One"case" followed wise counsel to stop the drugs, slowly, as cold turkey is
associated with wild "swings"... Daughters insisted mom stay on them as she was manageable with the plastic emotionless personality that SSRI's are known for with no exeptions.
A direct parallel are the people who believe health comes from needles for an imaginary
"virus". The lower level of clueless competion continues, though the contestants are dwindling.
Hantidiocy is not sticking, like Ebola, Swine, Bird, etc etc. Big P and their lackeys the Medical Cartel are not amused.
Very important to know what mall to shop for health concerns...
The Medical Cartel is for emergencies, surgeries, some infections.
Evidence is coming in that being on SSRI's while pregnant affects the baby's brain development.
I was on SSRI's while pregnant, and one of my (now adult) kids has what one could call a personality disorder. I feel terrible thinking I may be responsible.
Susanna, Do you think this is Kemp’s odd attempt to keep Atlanta & the Atlanta metro. area from going completely down the toilet, similar to what has happening to Los Angeles ?? Atlanta used to be decent place for a large U.S. city about 20+ years ago. Now the unsavory segment of black culture identified as “thug life” is rapidly taking hold in Atlanta.
I agree with you Suzanna, Brian Kemp is a complete snake and not to be trusted.
A “Non-Partisan Election Bill for 5-Metro Atlanta Counties” (? not effective until 2028 ?) removing “R” & “D” party designations besides the candidates ( ? except for sheriff & another position ? ) is very puzzling to me, even as a white male who doesn’t favor gender and racial labels.
I get the notion that far too many folks reflexively vote for candidates based solely on the label of “R” or “D” beside names on the ballet. Personally, I don’t vote for anyone that I don’t know anything about as a person or what their positions on the issues are. (It’s a sad state of affairs, but I’m certain I’m in the minority on this condition.)
In an odd way, though perhaps legal, this bill may be rightly considered to be discriminatory. Discriminatory to the large number of mostly low-information “reflexive voters” that I mentioned above.
Again, my strong preference is to know what the party affiliation is for all elective position candidates.
So he's not a "snake" -- he's just someone who understandably does not want to see his family members murdered by the mafia thugs known as the Deep State.
No. He took on responsibility to his constituents and this nation when he took the oath of office. None of us want our families killed but we won’t have a choice if those we elect won’t stand for our freedoms.
Nazi collaborators used this excuse and it wasn’t an excuse. If he’s worried about his family, which is understandable, he should have stepped down. Or spoke the truth no matter the cost. It sounds hard but that is what our founders did to establish this free nation and many of them lost everything. Kemp doesn’t get a pass for collaborating with the enemy.

“Tens of millions of Americans are potentially affected by the new MAHA Action Plan. In 2023, roughly 1 in 9American adults took an antidepressant, with higher rates among women (1 in 6), and in shocking numbers of children as young as three years old”

Del also talked about evidence that Verizon is censoring his film, An Inconvenient Study.
I’ve been having issues for months trying to access the site for this film. When I was not connected to WiFi, I would get a message saying the site did not exist.
All three of mine were put on them at ages 5, 7 and 8. The next decade playing whack-a-mole cycling through dozens of scripts and being on 2-4 scripts each at a time was a complete nightmare. If I could go back and apply what I know now about diet, and the dangers of the drugs, they ALL would have healthier, happier lives today. The drugs negatively impacted their entire childhood, AND adulthood for the rest of their lives. Nobody in all those years sat us down and talked to us seriously about diet. Nobody warned us of the significant dangers of the drugs.
Actually only ONE drug provided ample warnings, “Accutane”, when they reached a stage of uncontrollable acne. The dangers of this drug to mental stability and suicide was so strong we didn’t let our youngest use it. He still struggles with acne today but he is alive. So for THAT drug we were given informed consent. Why not any others to the same degree???
I'm so sorry, Juju. I have no faith in medical practitioners who prescribe meds to treat anything and everything.
I blame insurance companies for that because they are the ones prescribing your care, not your doctors. Today, you can't be treated for anything without a playbook "diagnostic code," designed to fit your symptoms squarely into a box and treat the symptoms instead of actually providing genuine individual medical care based on your whole person.
When the Evil ended the soldier breeding program in America in the '70s, they began introducing estrogenic foods like soy and corn into EVERYTHING, and synthetic hormones into the meat, poultry and plastics. And infants went from milk-based formula to soy.
This overload of estrogenic hormones disrupts the developing reproductive system, so children who grew up on them, as adults will have altered reproductive systems.
Those reproductively altered male children grew up and mated with reproductively altered females and produced offspring that are so reproductively screwed up they don't even know what sex they are.
That's why we call Gender Dysphoria/Transgender the 'Happy Meal Syndrome'.
And that's why now when we need them, our soldier-age males don't know whether to pick up a gun or a bottle of nail polish.
And our older males wonder why they can't get it up.
If you have been eating estrogenated foods or you have children, DETOX now! I like a 3day green juice cleanse into a 7day water fast, and watch what happens!
Get those artificial hormones and microplastics out of your body NOW!
Only after I tried many antidepressants. I was on disability because I got a bad mmr booster and suddenly had mysterious laundry list of autoimmune issues. They sent me to the psychiatric dr because they know autoimmune issues and the neglect will depress anyone.
God bless MAHA. I am a living example of someone who has suffered most of my adult life from 25+ years on an SSRI that I now know for a fact I never needed in the first place. I think I'd broken up with a boyfriend or something; therefore, I was diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. That's a crock.
RFK Jr.'s plan is a blessing. This drug altered who I was.
Physicians hand out these drugs like candy, and it makes me sick to see them ruining so many people's lives. THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
Each time I moved, my new primary care doctor pushed the meds. Several times I tried to wean off - even under a physician's care, and oh what a nightmare that was. Ultimately, I kept having to restart the SSRI to treat the withdrawal symptoms. That is an insane "medical" approach.
It gets exponentially harder the longer you stay on them, regardless of the length of the weaning period. I feel sorry for parents who don't know this stuff.
The SSRI itself is not addictive but these meds do have *severe* withdrawal symptoms that are life ruining. Read the warning label. Suicide is one of the "side effects" of SSRIs. What does that tell you?
A great book is "Cracked: The Unhappy Truth about Psychiatry" by James Davies.
Also: The Antidepressant Solution by Joseph Glenmullen.
I have suffered from depression my whole life (57). Some years are worse than others, but EVERYbody tries to get you to take SSRI's. Even when I fight not to. Last time, i took them for 6 months (required by my THERAPIST, who should have 100% NO say over it), and stopped as soon as the 6 months was up. However, they were REALLY hard to get off of. I had to, literally, COUNT how many little balls were in the capsule, then figure that 3 balls equalled 1 mg (for example). Every day, I would open up a capsule and remove 3 balls. After or 4 days, I would reduce another 3 balls. It took me almost 2 months to finally quit them. I didnt tell my doc what I was doing, because.I knew she would disagree. When i finally told my therapist, she insisted how much the SSRI had helped me. She tried GASLIGHTING me about it. I quit her, too.
Anyway, that shit is dangerous. I would rather die by suicide than to ever take another SSRI that doesnt do shit.
At least you could open the capsules and gradually remove a precise amount. In tablet form, you are stuck trying to file the pills down and repeatedly weighing them on a tiny scale because the purposely do not make step-down dosages.
Sadly, I am not even surprised, given how many people seem to be okay with mutilation of children so they can virtue signal and get alphabet people cred 🙄 And also given how many people in my own circle of family, friends and acquaintances have admitted to taking these meds 😕 It just seems like doctors take advantage of their desperation to start prescribing 😕 It appears to be a first or second resort and not a last resort at all.
Thank the LORD for RFK Jr and MAHA! Now maybe we can finally get some honest investigation into how many psycho killers are/were on these SSRI drugs! Since Columbine, we’ve been asking that question!
Yes, thank you for this comment! RFK Jr is a brilliant and brave leader! I only tried an SSRI once, (after the death of my mother) and within weeks I knew something was not right about it. Ditched it! I have several relatives and friends who believe they can't live without them.
I get my daily shot of serotonin by reading Jeff! Todays closer about the "creative" Yorkshire guy had me flying high!
I took an SSRI when diagnosed with post-partum depression. It helped me function as a wife, new mom, and employee. My dr, a strong Christian man, also had a plan to get me off them in a few months.
I was back on an SSRI after my husband left (20 years later, steep downward emotional/mental spiral) but with a different PCP who had no plan to get me off the drug. The flat affect it gave me was most noticable—I was not sad but I was also not happy, just flat. Caring colleagues and family urged discontinuing it but it came with resistance from the PCP. I slowly began to feel normal; so slowly that I wondered if I would ever feel like ‘myself’ again. Burying myself in The Word and frank discussions with a Christian counselor brought me back. Praise God!🙏🏻
Exactly! Prayer, fellowship, service, and Bible Study is the way to go. There is a book I read about 10 years ago called "Out of the Blues" by Wayne Mack that describes how depression - when not truly chemical - may ultimately be a spiritual problem.
I had the same experience when I did have to be on the drug after my mother's death. I called it "flat lining". I was not happy but I was not crying day and night; I just had no emotion at all. It did get me past the constant crying, then I got off it as fast as I could. God continues to bring me through the lows of life.
“No bad ideas”? The Dems haven’t had a good idea since before FDR! All their ideas are bad. The Kackler wouldn’t know a good idea if it walked up and bit her.
and the clown does not even know the last thing the deep state would allow is statehood for the district of criminals. It is not even, by design, part of the US, anymore than the Vatican is part of Italy or the Financial City of London is part of GB
The pandemic is not over ... We do remember all too well. Which is why they are reaching so far and so wide to cast a new starring virus! Hanta-mania is not working but that isn't stopping the dancing nurses and triple maskers from trying:
So many surprising heroes, like Sage Steele, showed up during COVID tyranny and glad she's still talking about it. Too bad the villains are back touting the latest viral scare (today it's Ebola in Africa!). People like Sage & Jeff will help us ward them off again.
Too many to count -- heroes and new viral scares, both! Just this week they've tried with not only the hanta, but also norovirus, and of course the big "e." Seems as if the W.H.O. is suffering from a sickness of its own -- withdrawal (Argentina and USA are out). Symptoms may include: hysteria over small outbreaks and fevered media outreach.
What floors me is that the World Health Organization was not on hand - with all of its worldwide reach - to meet that cruise ship before it docked and discharged all of those potentially-infected passengers out into the world. Seems to me an organization with all that pull could have arranged for a quarantine right at the site to nip this potential disaster in the bud. What good is an agency that can't prevent a pandemic - but can only respond by interfering with the freedoms of all the non-infected members of society?
Yes, so many theatrics for the sake of scaring the viewing audience -- the WHO present only at disembarkation only to show off their tactical gear while unsuited-up reporters and officials stood face-nakedly nearby. Luckily, even the "public health officials" (the moderate ones, who we don't even believe anymore) say the H is not a people to people but a rodent-to-whomever thing. But Tedros got his photo op -- and his message of "science" and "solidarity" out: https://www.who.int/news/item/14-05-2026-follow-up-message-by-the-who-director-general-to-the-people-of-tenerife-regarding-the-hantavirus-response .
Its not over because we have too many petty tyrants who are just smart enough to be indoctrinated and vulnerable to propaganda, but not smart enough to question whether they are.
The most dangerous people in America are white liberals with an IQ between 105-115 .
The "Mental Health Crisis" is all about OVERprescribing everyone, especially children with more mind-mood altering, behavior enhancing drugs, cashing in on Govt. $$$$ for it all, psychiatrists in every school, hospital, county health office, HR Dept., establishing it as mainstream and normal from infancy til elderciding the human resources that are so in need of exploitation, experimentation, and control.
My 83-year-old sister is being eldercided with paroxetine and rivastigmine, among a large bouquet of other drugs. Her very officious and gerontologist-worshiping daughter manages her planned decline.
Boy, isn’t that the truth. My sister is right in that cohort and because she is so successful in her occupation and investments, she feels like she can’t be wrong, but she believes every word of propaganda she hears.
Her daughter is on SSRIs, illegal immigration is actually a good thing, climate change is a looming disaster, the COVID shots saved millions of lives, and adverse events are grossly exaggerated.
She can’t believe I’m such a troglodyte. There are hardly any subjects left that we can discuss and still agree.
I believe the most dangerous people occupy both far ends of the political spectrum. Blind allegiance, low information, and highly reactive like rabid dogs.
I listen to Sage Steele’s podcast occasionally and also to Actual Friends, which she does with Dave Rubin, Dr Drew, and Jillian Michaels. I’ve heard her story several times and it’s a great lesson of why we shouldn’t forget.
To be clear, SSRIs are not {supposed to be} used for schizophrenia.
Schizophrenia is treated with a different class of medicines. A class with its own horrific adverse effect profile that includes uncontrollable muscle spasms and movements and jerking/writhing, weight gain, insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes.
Orthomolecular psychiatrists have found that many schizophrenic people are sensitive to gluten, milk, and/or chocolate and that eliminating these from their diets often helps reduce or eliminate their condition. Additionally, I seem to have read that childhood trauma underlies many who experience schizophrenia. Sort of the brain's way of dissociating from what is unspeakable.
Doctors definitely are far too quick to throw meds at stuff without even taking time to understand. Recently when in hospital for emergency surgery, and the internist asked how I was sleeping, and I said, well I haven't slept well for six months since my spouse died suddenly, the Dr said, well, you need to sleep! I will get you [x]. That was it. No wondering what I've been trying or what sort of support I have been receiving (lots, thanks be to God and his people). I haven't used the med. Lots of self-talk and self-soothing, along with nutritional and herbal stuff, seem to be helping, at least a bit.
Prayers for your comfort on the sudden loss of your wife. You’re smart to work through your grief without the meds. Simply walking, moving in the fresh air does wonders.
Copernicus, my deepest sympathy. Been there, many years ago, but I know. My brother lost his wife suddenly just 3 months ago, so walking with him through it now. Trust Jesus.
I have no option but to trust Jesus and his presence. Life would be utterly unmanageable if I did not choose to make that choice, albeit it is often a moment by moment choice.
I thank God for his physical body, The Church, who have shown up and provided tangible evidence that God has not let us down. It is impossible for me to understand why he allowed my spouse to die - it was completely and utterly unnecessary and unexpected (no, not from the shots). I feel so longingly like Mary and Martha, "Lord, if only...."
As a widow of 9 years who lost my beloved, my soulmate and best friend, I know it is a long and utterly lonely road we have to travel.
It seems to stretch ahead to infinity and it often seems pointless to continue. I know I often thought "If only I could stop taking this next breath... I could be with him". An older widow of my acquaintance somehow knew this without being told; she gave me a little stone with the words "breathe" inscribed on it. I later passed it on to another friend who lost her husband; she in her turn passed it to someone else who was grieving. That little stone was grasped in many sorrowing hands and has absorbed an infinity of grief.
I don't know how others manage intractable grief with holding our Lord's hand. I would have gone under long ago without Him.
What a sadness we humans go through when we lose our spouses. Our special one, the one chosen by God to travel with us through the decades. Please extend our prayers and loving thoughts to your brother Margot from all of us here.
Very sorry for your loss. I would add exercise, which has been proven to help damn near everything , including depression. Wish our daughter had listened to her moms advice
I know this exactly sudden death spouse during the worst of it. I was prescribed Xanax for sleeping anxiety, which was to be expected, but I was nonfunctioning and then just had a very hard time and some people are lucky. People will be there for them and the people that I thought would be there for me were weren’t.
But I worked through and listened to mostly Daily Hope
And many prayer journals
And finally now after three years, I just gotten off of every drug by myself. I told my doctor I was done. I didn’t like the flat effect.
I wanted to feel again, even though sometimes the feelings are overwhelming into his credit. He was cautious, but he had given me an actual written prescription to go get exercise. Go to a gym get a trainer get on a program and I did and that was very helpful, but even with all of that, the Estate work was very very hard and complicated
But anyway, I was able to get off of all of those drugs in January and just slowly every other day or so just skipping doses and finally just was down to nothing
I don’t even want to tell you the drugs I was on
But needless to say the only thing I really take is not all the time, but sometimes melatonin at night
It’s important to have a good support system and I took up golfing and it has been helpful
Read your Bible go to church take advantage of all the resources online many grief eccentric people but after a while, you get tired of that too, and you just move on slowly, but surely it will happen
Very saddened by your loss. I admire everyone who works through whatever adversity is put in their path, knowing it is going to be a journey, not a destination. Exercise is a great stress reliever and healthy lifestyle, regardless of what we have going on in our lives. Drugs are never the answer, and although they may be necessary for short periods of time, the sooner you can wean off them , the better. Wife just had a shoulder replacement Wed, and only took opiodes for 2 + days, and Ibuprofen after that. Now, just her favorite pain killer, wine. All the best to you, and may God grant you peace of mind. And yes, we know from losing our daughter that people you thought would be there weren't, and people you did not expect to be there were. "Good time Charlies " my dad called them.
You loss is so recent. It is ever so difficult when 2 people long attached to one another are separated. It is a special kind of ache that only long time lovers understand.
Not mentioned was whether the car was running, speed-control engaged, with following-distance set.
Back in the day, "men" wearing leopard-print wrestler "singlets" [THANKS, ai] and seemingly redundant wide belts strolled around towing bulldozers with chains. People stepped out of their ways. It being modern-day in Britain, I suppose walking up with a pair of scissors and making one little snip in the connector so the wanker would fall on his arse would have been deemed a hate crime, and not an equally valid counter-protest against public displays of lunacy.
Yes, surely. On the other hand, Mr. Stephenson's John Thomas may no longer be significantly smaller than either (not shorter, anyway). Body elasticity snapback declines as the years tick by, and he's 50.
I will always remember when my ex left me for my best friend in 2009. I saw coming, and I was actually relieved in the way because he was not an easy person to be married to. But he was also refusing to divorce me while living with another woman because he wanted to stay married for the tax break. But I was upset and stressed because he left with the house I couldn’t afford, having to change all the bills in my name, getting the house refinanced, while working at a job that demanded that I do a certain number of claims a day, or I was at risk of losing my job. I was at my doctor’s office for my yearly appointment and I broke down crying when she asked how I was doing. Immediately, the conversation became: let me give you an antidepressant. It will help you through this. Now, before this, my doctor was trained by me to only ask me what she could do for me because I always came in with a list of blood tests and questions. I made it clearly known from the day I met her that I was in charge of my health and she was a sounding board for her expertise. And I told her I’m going through something major and my grief is completely normal in this situation. I’m still functioning at work. I’m getting out of bed. I’m still doing all the things that I would normally do. I’m not depressed. I’m grieving. There’s a big difference. It’s gotten to the point in this country where they have us believing that if we’re feeling anything that’s remotely uncomfortable or remotely hard that we need medication to figure out how to get through it. I’m not against medication for those people that are so depressed They can’t get out of bed or they’re thinking suicidal thoughts. That’s a whole different level of not being able to cope with your daily life. But to tell somebody who’s going through the normal grieving process that they need an antidepressant to make it through. That’s complete garbage.
Well stated! I am glad you had the fortitude and knowledge to refuse those meds and to understand your needs.
I feel like that is a running theme of modern life—pain in any amount or of any type is unacceptable and must be removed (not dealt with and processed in a “the only way out is through” mindset). A physical example is childbirth. Even movies and TV constantly push (no pun intended 😆) the message that childbirth is always horrifically painful and must be medicated without exception. Only “freaks” or masochists forgo epidurals according to our society at large 😕
From my end, it turned out far better for me because the cheater’s got each other, and I was able to go on to be remarried to a wonderful man who treats me far better than he ever did. I thank God every day because I would not have the beautiful life I have now if it hadn’t happened
This is true but if only the first one had been steadfast and true, you may have been able to have said the same about him. Your happy ending is lovely. Blessings.
I applaud Kennedys idea to reduce the overprescriptions of psychiatric medications. Maybe doctors could also introduce their patients to the role proper nutrition plays in mental health. Two good books on the topic are Brain Energy by Christopher Palmer and Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind by Georgia Ede....both compelling reads.
I second BOTH of these. Our changed diet (low carb) got all of us off these horrible meds we never should have been on in the first place. They never did what they were supposed to do, but carried life altering side effects. The diet did everything they said the drugs would, with no side effects. It’s a night and day difference. And not ONE doctor recommended diet change 🙄
Most doctors get Zero training about nutrition in med school. Those that do get half a day . And it goes without saying that because you can't patent anything occurring in nature, there is no money in it for him
Aldous Huxley predicted people taking their Soma (SSRIs, etc.) nearly 100 years ago in our Brave New World.
But where are the doctors who are supposed to First Do No Harm? I guess they did not dare oppose the government, kind of like now where doctors First DO HARM: https://lizlasorte.substack.com/p/first-do-no-harm
I would say that assumes a doctor is in the profession for the right reasons. They are not, most begin ethically and morally challenged. Specifically they are attracted to the medical profession, becoming a doctor for the money, title & panache, making mom & dad proud, bragging rights, the ability to "attract" females, or their own ego God complex. Pushing drugs and ramming through patients on a conveyor belt is no problem when you see them just as a check to put toward your condo in Aspen. These people had no problem raking money in during the plandemic whilst being held on a pedestal by the government and propagandists, a 2-fer for them. Doctors hold no special powers of morality or even intelligence, they are fallible like the general population, perhaps more so due to the attraction to the profession as mentioned above. Not all doctors though, the key is to find the diamonds in the rough that are in the profession for the right reason, and that is both difficult and expensive to sort. If your doctor ever says you're due for the flu-shot etc, it becomes real easy to identify them as sold out, unintelligent, brainwashed, or all.
There are a few of us, that don't prescribe to make pharma $$$, that listen to their patients (just yesterday 45min), research (60 min same patient) and weave together a Functional/Integrative/Complementary plan with patient input/consent/agreement. This includes (but not limited to) bioidenticals, offlabel, supplements, herbs, nutrition, hydration, exercise, neuroacoustic science and GOD. 🙏
Because........Luke 9:2
[2] Then he sent them out to tell everyone about the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick.

I do believe that people become doctors out of a desire to help people, but far too many are swallowed by the medicocracy. Bless those like you who are able to stay true to your beliefs and mission.
Yes it is. As a generalization, I say they are a captured class, being economically shut out of private practice and being forced to serve mega-medicocracy hospital systems. And their "productivity" assessments require them to process patients through at breakneck speed, generate a lot of billing codes, and race off to the next 3-minute consultation. That structure leaves little room for analysis and discernment, instead relying on quick symptom fixes in the form of drugs.
Their patients have come to want those drugs rather than any sort of behavioral changes.
I hear you. My husband was at a wonderful facility that treated low income patients, and they wanted him to see a certain number of people in a short amount of time. He had to leave. Eventually, that facility closed, and I'm assuming it's because the model changed.
My concern is that we are lumping ALL doctors/psychiatrists into a pool of uncaring, prescription-happy people. I assure you there are many out there who actually want to treat patients in an ethical and safe manner.
I hear you, but with my experience with SSRIs with our(suicided) daughter , my wife's cancer (healed by us), my hyperthyroidism, the medical professions' actions during covid, pediatricians, the vaccine pushing hysteria, and extensive reading and podcast listening, I have come to the very sad conclusion that as a generalization, it fits. I would wager all I have that a majority of doctors have sold their souls.
I'm very sorry for all that you've gone through. And yes, I will say that some doctors have sold their souls. At the same time, I will say that when I was suffering for 8 years with clearly debilitating perimenopausal symptoms, neither my GP nor my GYN would consider giving me medicine that would have improved my physical and mental state. So I do wonder, are there certain pharmaceuticals that drive doctors to "sell their souls" and maybe hormone replacement therapy isn't one of them?
Finally, I think we are heading into a very dangerous swing where we're going to say that no one really needs psychiatric drugs, and a lot of people will be harmed by that.

Modern doctors owe a HUGE debt to the American Education Industry, they cannot afford to not make money, it looks like that (new) reality is first in line ahead of "do no harm".
Haven't finished reading (will as soon as I finish a search for Sage Steele's remarks at the conference.
She has been a ROCK STAR, bringing attention to her heartfelt, genuine, uncomfortable experience of being coerced.
All of us who had the same unrelenting pressure can resonate with the tears shed. Sooo many are traumatized, injured, devastated by the 76 months (and counting) of 2020, and will NEVER forget.
No restitution or acknowledgement will EVER be enough, BUT it would help!
I wonder what the democrats response would be if Trump came out and said: you know, you are right about the Supreme Court, We are going to expand it to 13 today with these 3 nominees.
Why the fire? According to Mr. Stephenson, “I’ve pulled a car with my testicles before, and I’ve pulled a car on fire, so I thought: why not combine them both?” Why not, indeed. “But this time, do it with my penis,” he added.
This is the kind of flawless, irrefutable logic that built the British Empire.
Most Americans do not understand what the real British people are like, this article gives a good insight! Lol every time someone acts like all the British are so prim and proper. I have to have a good chuckle.
All my relatives except my sister was a Brit. But the Brits of then are certainly not the Brits of now. Read an article today about an 18 year old walking home from a pub (below the legal limit , BTW), and a Sikh attacked him with an 8 inch knife and stabbed him to death. But, not before he tried to climb a fence escape the attacker, and police handcuffed and arrested him because the Sikh said he had racially insulted him (not) Made me ill thinking of the type of degenerates who are cops there now. A long way from the bobbies who was only allowed to carry a nightstick when I was growing up
True! A fun bunch, always ready to party. Seemed like most real business decisions were made after hours, in a pub or somewhere similar. I hope they can shake off the current malaise.
Brian Kemp is a snake. He ushered Dominion in during his tenure as Sec of State before running for Governor and has never lost an opportunity to stab Trump in the back, even though he literally owes Trump his governorship (Trump endorsed him and rallied for him when he was running for his first term, was far behind and Trump’s support absolutely revitalized his campaign as well as causing his primary opponent to drop out).
Kemp refused to call a special session to investigate the 2020 fraud when it happened, although he briefly hinted he would (on a news show a few days after the election) and the next day his daughter’s boyfriend died in a suspicious, fiery single car “accident.” (Side note: The GBI agent in charge of investigating this “accident” committed suicide even shortly into the investigation though friends and family said he was not at all suicidal).
The day after the car crash Kemp came out and affirmed that he wouldn’t call a special session to address widespread concerns of voter fraud including in Fulton County and he has toed the anti-Trump line ever since.
I don’t even think this bill he signed will be a good thing - as a voter I DO want to know if the candidates who are running are Democrats or Republicans. Even for county dog catcher, I care if someone embraces a platform that promotes the death of babies and the death of our constitutional republic.
Yup, what she said. This is Kemp slow-walking a real reform, attempting to look like a Conservative governor without actually being one.
Also, my speculation was that the death of the boyfriend was aimed at Kelly Loeffler, whose aid he was, and who was filling out a Senate term and running for the Senate in her own right, as much as Kemp. She reneged on her Jan. 6th promise, too.
I think it was a “kill two birds with one stone;” but I watched these events play out in real time and I’ll never forgot how quickly Kemp pivoted back to obedience to whomever his overlords are (personally I think the Chinese - but the waters are muddy). Loeffler stayed the course through her race but it never felt like her heart was really in it. I’m guessing the whole group of them that election cycle - Trump, Perdue and Loeffler - were coming to the realization that Georgia was more corrupt than they’d ever understood and it would be almost impossible for anyone outside the the Georgia state Republican Party establishment (who are largely rabidly anti-Trump) to win that year. Georgia needs some deep cleaning.
Yup, we saw it the same way. And the delays in passing SAVE Act in the Senate are the consequences.
The root of the cancer is Atlanta. I’m embarrassed to share a border with a state in which Fani Willis is still holding office.
I live in GA. This is such a great state. I voted in the primaries yesterday and am praying for course correction.
its worse, alot worse
P Burne has spent much of his fortune, exposing Venezuela where the software controlling all voting machines is from. Serbia is where the machines (those said to have no internet connection) have programmers waiting with many back doors to wank any election WORLDWIDE. Has not been different in decades.
So, the capture of Maduro, hamstrung the operations to some extent. Paper ballots same day counting everywhere.
GA, specifically Fulsom county is best provable case example.
The news stories about the unalive-ing of the Loeffler staffer/Kemp daughter boyfriend and the unalive-ing of the GBI investigator:

https://www.investmentwatchblog.com/the-gbi-agent-reportedly-assigned-to-gov-kemps-daughters-boyfriends-mysterious-fatal-accident-has-committed-suicide-in-georgia/
I see their deaths like how the Mob sends dead fish/horse heads as a message. And that it's not merely a coincidence that after the mysterious deaths of Kemp/Loeffler associate and the police investigator Georgia R's stopped their challenge, anyone questioning results was called election deniers and prosecuted.
It seems to me that the National Crime Syndicate merged with the US Government, and that crime syndicates in each nation merged with their governments, global governments?
https://nationalcrimesyndicate.com/apalachin-meeting/
Is the world as we're taught and imagine it to be, our governance we think we have a say in actually a giant criminal racket? With racketeers sitting in bodies like Congress and the UN that aren't much different in operation than how the meetings of mob families are portrayed in movies like The Godfather and Analyze This?
What if, mobster-like squeezes are put on candidates and elected officials? Perhaps they are Brave, pushing for freedom, but they learn that it won't be them who first faces the mafiosos. It will be their loved ones, associates? Dead fish placed in boxes on doorsteps? Horse heads in beds?
If the reality is that starkly evil then what? Do we give up? Do we hunker down and protect our own, try to make do in a f'd up evil world run by criminals, mafioso's?
I don't think that's my calling. Probably not others on this Stack. If the reality is that starkly evil then I think the first thing we need to do is acknowledge that reality. The first step is admitting we don't live in the world we thought we lived in. Only from that honest assessment are we able to take the next steps that are necessary to make it the world we thought we lived in. And I know with certainty that that will involve bravery. It's not, "Land of the free. Oh, and some Brave people call it home, too." Freedom truly isn't free. The Brave make it free. Bravery is a requirement, not optional, for any land to be free. The Powers That Be tricked too many of us into believing our system itself makes us free and will protect us, no bravery required. I find my bravery in God's eternal grace.
The account of the suspicious death of Kemp's daughter's boyfriend is CHILLING to the bone. And explains a lot.
I have five sons and for maybe for this reason this young man’s death hit me really hard.
His name was Harrison Deal; a year or two after his death I went looking for more info on him and found an article written about him stating how he was a believer in Jesus and was active in his Christian fraternity. That he loved encouraging others and was deepening his relationship with Christ and sharing God’s truth with those around him.
Wow. What happened to him was an almost unspeakable tragedy, yet Satan and the forces of evil did not win the day they thought they destroyed Harrison Deal. Instead he opened his eyes to his Savior’s face and left behind a legacy that pointed to Christ. At 20 years old.
I did not know these facts about Harrison.
I only knew a 20 year old man most likely died because he had dated the governors daughter and was a convenient (expendable) target to send a gruesome message! (so it seemed!)
At the time it happened I had a 20 year old son (youngest) - I cried for a young man I did not know! And I understood the "message" even though it was not directed to me - and thought:
"What has this Governor gotten himself into?!" and
"How can this happen in the USA?!!!"
2020 - 2024 - worse 4 year Presidency in this nation! And many RINOS contributed to escalate the fraud, deception, and injustices!
I felt the same about Charlie Kirks assassination. This is the first I am learning about this young man in Georgia. His poor parents and family. What kind of evil, tangled web has the Socialist/Democrat Party aligned themselves with? Oh, wait.. for two seconds, I forgot about the Clinton's and the similar tactics they used against their enemies and their own people, for decades!
Word is, Keshia Lance Bottoms, she of Atlanta Mayor's office fame, is going to run for Governor of Georgia this summer. BTW, I live in far northeast Georgia, in the mountains, surrounded by hollers populated by armed guys named Bubba.
Wow Bottoms and Fani, you can’t make this stuff up 😆😛
@Running- HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Perhaps Charlie Daniels had it right in 1979. "The devil Went Down To Georgia" : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sh7BZf7D5Bw
People have no idea how true your last statement is. Georgia needs some deep cleaning.
I say, out the heavy yellow equipment and start with Fani, Stacey Abrams and her Happy Face Temp Agency pals, Fulton Co. Commissioner Marvin Arrington, who regularly shows his considerable backside in Fulton Co. Commission meetings— and just walks out, nail Brad Raffensberger, (Conservative Christian,
my big TOE!), and keep going from there.
In Michigan many of the court justices we vote on are listed as “non partisan”. It’s how we ended up with a MI Supreme Court, 7-2, in favor of Liberal justices. As a state we have tanked because of this. Dems now run virtually everything in this state, and try as we might, we can’t seem to get past a system in which Dems are always 3 steps ahead. The current SoS is literally the only candidate for Governor. She has been found guilty numerous times of voting infractions during Covid. She was a board member of the now indicted Southern Law Poverty group, but nothing sticks. In our open August primary, numerous Dems will crossover and vote for the weakest GOP candidate. It’s how they operate every single time. Our weak MiGOP always helps them out. The media is silent except for whatever the President is doing.
This is also true in Washington state. The last 30 years this state, over half conservative has installed the most liberal judges, local and state politicians in our history. Voters need to do better. Non partisan does not mean non partisan. It means the campaign is protecting them from issue based debates. But they will judge and sentence on those beliefs.
Same in Minnesota. I want to know what party affiliation a judge has. There is no such thing as a nonpartisan judge, which has been obvious. Especially when it comes to violent criminals & also Trump.
Mail in only voting. . . WA State is corrupted and hopeless. So sad, such a beautiful and majestic state.
trying to TURN WA RED
You'll never do it. Eastern WA already is Red. Western WA is deep, deep blue.
Best option: Eastern WA joins ID...just like Eastern OR hopefully will.
This. Born in western WA and now on the east side partly due to politics. It has consistently gone to the left as far back as I remember following politics since the late seventies. I do not see it coming back anytime soon.
The only way I can imagine Washington turning red is for voting to be a 1-day event, with ID required, paper ballots only...but with our current crop of bigwigs, it's hard to imagine that happening.
Praying that President Trump has a plan to bring back in-person voting...
Conservative voters need to spend a few minutes on the internet before going to the polls and playing ‘eenie, meenie, meenie, mo’. Every candidate is going to have a campaign website and it should be pretty obvious where they stand.
Not in Illinois. I tried to do that last election cycle for judges and most of them didn’t have anything anywhere to gauge. Trying to find court cases was nearly impossible. The average American doesn’t have the internet/research savvy to uncover the truth.
Look at who is endorsing them. Is it the cavalcade of DEI/hyphenated law organizations, like Hispanic National Bar Association (HNBA), National Bar Association (NBA) for African American lawyers, National Asian Pacific American Bar Association (NAPABA), and local chapters like the Los Abogados Hispanic Bar Association, National Association of Women Lawyers (NAWL) and law school alumni groups like the Harvard Law School Association where you know they've been fully indoctrinated and steeped in DEI/CRT woke leftist grievances. If they are Bar Association endorsed just remember what Bar Associations across the nation have done to conservatives, those representing Trump, J6, election fraud, gun rights, etc cases that leftists hate. Judge judges based on their endorsements. You can also look their names up in news media, see what types of cases they've represented, made a public splash with.
Time consuming, indeed. Also, try looking for the union "Bug" on their printed campaign materials, I described another comment nearby, provided link to picture of what they look like, what to look for. The "Bug" means Democrat.
I think this is true too. Finding true accurate info can be like finding a needle in a haystack and if people aren’t adept at or don’t have the time to handle online research (maybe like, elderly, people who are ill, including chronically ill, those caretaking disabled family members, pregnant moms chasing other kids) there’s just a crush of needs to research and often the election isn’t the first fire in peoples lives.
We need to ask Heritage Foundation to spend some time making state-specific Voter Guides for Conservatives...
Here in California we have ElectionGuideCalifornia.org for coservatives. It is put out by Carl DeMaio. I start with that but still research further
Now with Grok or ChatGPT I suspect you could find who endorses or sponsors them.
Oh I wonder if ai can do that for us!
I bet it can! Give it a try. 👍👍
Judges are tough. I often don’t vote that one.
I write in Clarence Thomas for judges, WS. Write-in votes have to be adjudicated so it makes an impact, shows that I am not happy voting for the incumbent. In Oregon, the birth state of the mail in voting experiment, judges 'retire' just before the end of their term. The governor (dem for 40 years now) appoints the replacement. The replacement then runs as the incumbent and is re-elected as many terms as as desired. Thus through vote by mail and union money the left controls everything. Governorship, legislature, judiciary. The left has built a virtual firewall against losing and Oregon shows it. Last in most every category: education, livability and migration, crime and safety and environment. It's not all bad, Oregon is near the top in taxation 😵💫
This is exactly the case in WA too. I also write in people to make it clear I do not support the installed incumbent.
In addition they mostly run unopposed.
I like that idea!
Thankfully in San Diego we have Carl DeMaio’s conservative voter’s guide that he puts out every year, and he covers the school board and judicial candidates as well. It’s always a laugh/cry situation if your particular district’s choice is listed by him as “You are doomed” - meaning it’s only progressive candidates to pick from. He definitely does his homework. Our governor election primary has 62 candidates running, an absolute joke. 🙄
he and Kevin Kiley are some of the best in CA - AND NOW PRATT!!!!
God bless him! A lot of areas will have a local Republican group that will produce a voter guide. We need to become more election conscious. The Demon rats certainly are.
Still do your own research, because some groups are more Rino than Republican.
It’s a Dumocrat tactic right now, to run people as Republicans.
I get your point but see my comment to UM Ross below - many of us are in a state of research fatigue - not because we don’t care but because there is SO MUCH we have to research now, down to why our reverse osmosis system is causing rampant dental decay and if our kids’ toothpaste active ingredient is crossing the blood brain barrier. It’s brutal!
Why remove these partisan designations? I don’t get the benefit at all.
I can only guess that there’s the hope that a certain low IQ block of people that vote Democrat at a 90% level won’t know who to vote for if they don’t see a ‘D’. But someone else will probably already have voted for them anyway. So, I sort of have to agree with you.
Agreed. I downloaded the sample ballot, then employed ChatGPT and Grok to provide me candidate info.
And of course those AI tools were trained on modern documents which lean heavily liberal. So do a little research on how you can minimize the liberal bias of your favorite AI tools. I'm still a newbie and yes, the fatigue is real.
I asked Google's AI-chatbot-whatever it's called where I could watch the DC Correspondents Dinner on TV. It listed just about every way but I noticed, no Fox. So then I asked it, is Fox covering it? It then gave me a detailed list of what they were doing. Then, I asked it, why didn't you include Fox the first time - I really hope you are not woke or left-biased. It quickly apologized AND TOLD ME IT WOULD BE MORE OBJECTIVE FROM ON. I replied, well thank you for being honest! EEGADS!
Yep, my experience too. You always have to check the bots bias. Good news is when you call it out, it usually responds...but do you trust it then? I'm skeptical, even though I keep using it!
It also depends strongly on the question. I was just asking Grok about the Climate Scam. What programs are out there (there's a cap and trade "tax" in my State of WA that adds $0.52 to $0.62 to every gallon of gas!), which are on someone's radar for repeal, what the total cost/drag on the economy is, etc. That last question's answer could definitely be biased but the first ones are just lists of programs. If it misses a few, that's ok...I still get the gist.
Answer btw was $500B/year max ($200B/yr minimum).
Scary, conversing with an artificial data base, I've done it myself. This is how society is losing the children. What man intended for good the devil will use for evil.
I have to do the same on DDGO Browser since they partnered with Micro Soft. Talk about overlords! Fox is only shown after 5 pages of MSM stations and most a repeat of pages one and two or articles from 3 years ago!
Interesting...
Good suggestion but many, including me, find election day has arrived and researching candidates in obscure non-partisan races never reached the top of our never exhausted to-do list. I never play eenie, meenie, mynee, mo'. The dems are so bad, and vote as a bloc so even a good dem, if such exist, can't get my vote. So for me, straight R, and if it's non--partisan and I have no idea, I skip it. Why would I cast an uninformed vote?
Sadly, this is exactly why they don't put parties on judges ,etc. They want the Republicans not voting so that the Dems win no matter the margins. In California, they instituted jungle primaries where the top two vote getters go to the general election. This year, in the Governors race, the Democrats (having held the office by hook and for crooks, the past 16-20 years) are offering up complete and utter idiots, incapable of original thought and steeped in decades old TDS. So, to date, the two Republican candidates are polling in the lead!
Well, this cannot happen in a communist State like California, so outgoing Governor Newsom is insinuating that their will be a crooked Democrat to vote for even if he and his legislative posse have to hold another covert, law changing session in the 11th hour! I kid you not, the rules are only in place if it furthers Democrats. Newsom also hinted that he has so many people in "agency positions" that Democrat voters will not really be disenfranchised by a Republican Governor, or he was hinting that He has the Chaos Mobs waiting to burn down the homes and businesses, or he has another Plandemic brewing to gain back control if needed! Dem speak is a coded language at best that drips with deceit disguised as hope and change!
I am not big on the Non Partisan races either. In our Town we have the Proud D party posting daily on their candidates. I am still in the hopes that we need educated voters, not the ones who just vote “with” who they’re told or “against” those they hate. And man, there are plenty ignorant voters. 😔
At least the Dims can tell us who not to vote for🥴
Bingo! basically, if you live in a Blue State and the office holder or candidate got their position between 2013 and 2025, they are likely a Soros, Rockefeller, NGO, funded DEI hire or candidate! Not hyperbole once you read the playbook!
The language they use in their campaign brochures is usually the giveaway. Some of them blatantly say "fight Trump", so that is the easy tell they are part of the Socialist/Democrat chaos machine!
We need a 💔 button!
Same situation where I live. So I wonder why the Dems are upset in Georgia?
It's called TDS. It affects Dems everywhere, not just Georgia. But in Georgia they are angry about the denial of getting their "evidence" back from the Fulton County raid in January.
Dems are upset no matter where they live. Pick any topic and they are pissed about it.
Try NJ or NY.
The Data Republican Sub Stack had a piece on this a few days ago. It traces the takeover of all branches of Gov't, National, State and Local back to a 2013 question. It all started with a question about what will our Democracy look like in 2026!
That question along with far too much money by NGO Foundations such as Rockefeller Trust, JP Morgan, etc., Started a brainstorming session to end our Constitutional Republic and a slow but steady movement to have the new Government in place throughout the USA by the 250th celebration!
Yikes! 😬
"as a voter I DO want to know if the candidates who are running are Democrats or Republicans."
As a C&C reader, I would think you have the wherewithal to research the candidates yourself. I know I do exactly that when we have "nonpartisan" races on the ballot in my home state of Pennsylvania, because I sure wouldn't want to vote for a Democrat by accident!
#NeverDemocrat
Why not just simplify matters and put it beside their names on the ballot?
I research a ton. I research medical freedom, I research ingredients lists, I research a wide range of alternative medicine remedies for my 7 person immediate family. I research natural child birth, and gardening and nutrition and history and homeschooling - and also I am raising and homeschooling five kids - and countless other things (like if our organic veggies are actually organic, or if the super clean soap I’m using is still causing eczema…etc), I’m weary of having to deep dive for EVERY little thing. And I know I’m not the only one who feels this way. I’d appreciate if they’d just leave the dang partisan labels on the ballot.
Fortunately for us there was a trend that began about 40 years ago of giving babies crazy unAmerican sounding names. So, if you see Da’Presshus Jackson or La’Manjello Quin’ton White on the ballot that is a democrat dead giveaway!
I worked in OB for 27 yrs and I’ll never forget the birth of twins that the mom named “Orangello” and “Lemonjello”. You can’t make this up.
La-a= Ladasha. And the parents get VERY upset when you miss pronounce their babies names.
🤣🤣🤣Unbelievable!
New adorable identical twins at my church were courageously named Thaddeus and Theophilus (or, Most Excellent Theophilus). They sure smile a lot so they must like their namesakes….
I call BS on the lemonjello and orangello stuff. I've heard different variations of that for about 35 years.
That's plain weird. I'd be changing my name the moment I turned 18.
😂
Whenever you get a political campaign mailer or flyer on your door look for the union "Bug." Especially for the "nonpartisan" local races where it's hard to figure out.
https://i.imgflip.com/arw4dp.jpg
The union "Bug" is printed on election materials for Democrats. A known shorthand for those in the know. If a known Republican uses the "Bug" very good odds they are a Rino.
I ran political campaigns for two decades, worked with my share of print shops. A heavily unionized industry. They price differently for the inclusion of the "Bug." It has known value.
Thanks for this heads up FF!
https://www.thecampaignworkshop.com/blog/pillar/direct-mail/union-printers
"- How do you know if something is union printed?
Look for a union bug on the printed material. The union bug is usually at the bottom of the material, and that alone will tell you whether or not a piece is union printed. If the printed material does not have a bug, it likely was not printed by a union printer.
- What does a union bug mean?
When it comes to union printers, the largest labor organization, printers union – with councils throughout the United States and Canada – is known as the Allied Printing Trades Council. There are two unions that comprise this council: The Graphic Communications Conference (GCC) and the Communications Workers of America (CWA). There are some smaller union organizations that have organized print shops, including the Painters and Allied Trades (most often seen in the making of signs, buttons, etc.), as well as independent unions located in geographic regions of the country. It is important to note that only print shops with their employees unionized by recognized union organizations or shops that have a valid union label license agreement are authorized to print the union printers’ bug on their pieces.
In the printing industry, union printers place their union bug with their respective registry number on the pieces they print as an assurance of craftsmanship and quality. In short, the bug is a sign of union-approved working conditions. If you want to know where something was printed just go to Google and type in the union number and name, and it will tell you the name of the printer.
- What if I don’t want a union bug on my Mail?
Even if our client is non-political, or running for office in a non-union friendly area, we often still use union printers. We just ask that the union bug be removed from the printed materials.
Overall, there are a lot of benefits to using union printing. So, if you’re running for office and need something printed, show your support for the progressive movement by choosing a union printer."
https://www.piworld.com/article/demand-union-printing-companies-still-strong/
"Tim Burton, company president, notes that his company has an advantage when it comes to bidding on work for political and advertising clients who require the union bug."
How about this:
Joe Schmo (D)
Rachel Schmo (R)
Wiley E. Schmo (R, but votes D)
A letter out of the alphabet doesn’t give one any idea how a person will represent their constituents. Your county or state GOP is there to help. Look them up - they possibly have a newsletter you can subscribe to.
Our GA state GOP is a RINO, anti-Trump mess (unless it’s an election year, then they grovel for a bit but they hate him). They’re like, in a ‘90s political mindset and that is probably being too kind because it excuses them as if they don’t know. But they do.
I have been a member of and worked with our local party before, multiple times, but it’s too time-consuming for a full-time, stay at home, homeschooling mom of five kids 3-13, with no childcare for meetings (and yes, I took them with me for a time but eventually I had to step back). I realize there’s more to voting than the letter after the name but what earthly positive purpose is served by removing that starting place for voters? At least if it’s R you know that person had to sign on to the Republican platform to be approved to run, and if it’s D, same, as a Democrat. That IS a help, even if ideally you can do more research.
You described my take perfectly. It's great some voters research every non-partisan race. My wife does that. I don't. I research a lot of stuff, but obscure races are not one of them. I should, if I cast a vote in those races. If it's non-partisan and I don't know the candidates, I skip those. Sure it's nice if you research every race but none of us are perfect.
Every time you skip a candidate, the left thanks you for not turning out and allowing them to take the obscure offices. That is how they take over schoolboards and other, small local races.
If you don't know anything about the candidates, including political party, how does it hurt the left to randomly pick one? You're as likely to pick a lefty as a righty. If you're inclined to research every candidate in every race, that's nice. Most won't, and making an uninformed choice is worse than no choice.
I love people who do deep dives into topics like these and do a lot of it myself. I wish I knew you in real life:)
It does get overwhelming. If I knew more people in real life who do this kind of research, I could trust their results to some degree and they could similarly trust mine and we could each save ourselves some time.
Eczema CAN be an adverse event
from vaccines.
Heavy metal detox CAN get rid of it.
It is disturbing that it is becoming known that Democrats are openly saying to lie and run as Republicans. We already put up with fake "MAGA" rinos running.
About those fake MAGA rino's we're already putting up with...they *did* lie and run as Republicans. Rino isn't just a hyperbolic slur we emote over when they vote like Democrats. They ARE Democrats. Who lied and ran as Republicans.
You know those R's who get elected in heavily D places like Massachusetts, New Jersey and Maryland? They ARE Democrats. Mitt Romney, Charlie Baker, Chris Christie, Larry Hogan = Democrats. Or D's running as R's in heavily R places like Nicky Haley in South Carolina or John Cornyn in Texas, they know they can't win as D's in those states.
I knew local Democrat officials in my very Democrat city who told me straight up that they would run as Republicans if they couldn't get through the main Democrat party apparatus. This happens on both sides of the aisle where the path to getting the nomination runs through an entrenched power block. But much moreso on the D side of things.
R's stupidly embrace the new "convert" and hand the nomination to the opportunistic D's, hoping they'll end up with a D-lite winner. But when the D-lite winner then tries to parlay their "centrist R" credentials into a national campaign, the national GOP tries to shove them down our throats the base doesn't turn out, like it didn't for Democrat Mitch Romney when he ran as a Republican against Obama, and then we end up with an Obama. Heads they win, tails we lose.
Yes. And that is an argument in favor of people researching the candidates and not simply relying on party designation.
It shows you how bad they know their policies or lack of them, they know they are that they have to run as a Rebublcan and then show their true colors after taking office.
Your local Republican state committee knows who the players are in elections. You need to get on their email list.
Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC) is a separate national organization focused on down-ballot state races. It was founded in 2002, has Matt Walter as President, and is chaired by Steve Crisafulli. The RSLC aims to elect Republicans to state legislatures, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, and judicial positions across all 50 states.
I’m connected with my local Republican Party already but they don’t always share our values in terms of medical freedom and smaller government, and although I tried to attend meetings regularly for several years the reality is that I had to stop because I couldn’t cart five kids and a baby along anymore. It just wasn’t feasible for this season of my life.
I don’t understand how taking partisan designations off the ballot will improve anything…
Are you on a medical freedom organization’s mailing list? I got emails before our recent primary elections that named their endorsed candidates. I found that to be helpful.
Any organization with Karl Rove on it is bad news :

And Mike Pence, Annie.
Thanks, Karmy!
Here in the PNW, we receive a Voter’s Guide pamphlet every election cycle. In it are all the candidates & measures from Federal, State & County, and some offices are non-partisan (councilors, commissioners, judges, auditor, DA). But, all you have to do is see who they are endorsed by, as this is also published. SEIU, AFSCME or AFL-CIO backing you? That’s a hard no. Teacher’s Union endorsed you? The same. In this current cycle one of the non-partisan candidates even listed the “Jane Fonda Climate PAC’ as a supporter.
I remember my parents getting some excellent voters guides from man…what was it called…I can picture the conservative leader of the movement back in the day - Ralph Reed…it’ll come to me. Anyhow, I haven’t found anything comprehensive for local or state races in my area, but it’s a great idea to dig around for this, thank you!
Maybe if I find some good relevant voters guides I can help get them in the hands of my friends and peers too 💕
Christian Coalition. That was it.
League of Women VOters used to publish a pretty fair one. they also used to run fair debates before they were edged out by the biased MSM>
My local LWV is full of leftist Dem Karens. GOP and Independents need not apply.
wow! we need to organize and take over.
I haven’t heard of League of Women Voters but Concerned Women for America used to put out national level voter guides…
League of women voters is run by far left bozos! A close friend of mine was thrilled to be invited to a meeting in 2024. She hadn't been in years. Five minutes into the gathering she was appalled by the atmosphere, got up and left. It was that bad!
OMG.
The account of the suspicious death of Kemp's daughter's boyfriend is CHILLING to the bone. And explains a lot.
Thank you for that comment. This kind of "activity" is common in the latter days of an empire. Cut-and-paste from the latter days of the Roman Empire. Buckle up, it's going to be a roller coaster ride as real law and order break down.
If you think this is not happening here, you are not paying attention. In 1970, America was 90 American white and 10% American black, all American citizens. We are now down to less than 60% white and falling. Non-citizen aliens account for almost a third of our total population.
Ever hear the phrase, "Stranger In A Strange Land"? At what point does our land become so strange that we are now strangers in our own land?

That's gonna take some convincing.
Can you imagine that we actually have to say that? Wow, what a world Phil.
Truly. For someone my age - baby boomer - I already feel like a stranger in a strange land.
Our local GOP distributes information flyers that recommend Republican Candidates before every "non-partisan category" election. Democrats bitch. We don't care, people who want to vote for Republicans are glad to receive the information.
What she said for sure. never underestimate the effects of fear and threats so close to the family. I remember it all well.
Lets take the challenge and raise awareness shall we?
SSRI's as mentioned have been widely prescribed to countless people mostly for those
whose family members or closely associated insist. Like the fraudulent vaxs and quaxs it requires people who comprehend little to nothing about health.
One"case" followed wise counsel to stop the drugs, slowly, as cold turkey is
associated with wild "swings"... Daughters insisted mom stay on them as she was manageable with the plastic emotionless personality that SSRI's are known for with no exeptions.
A direct parallel are the people who believe health comes from needles for an imaginary
"virus". The lower level of clueless competion continues, though the contestants are dwindling.
Hantidiocy is not sticking, like Ebola, Swine, Bird, etc etc. Big P and their lackeys the Medical Cartel are not amused.
Very important to know what mall to shop for health concerns...
The Medical Cartel is for emergencies, surgeries, some infections.
Thats all folks...
Evidence is coming in that being on SSRI's while pregnant affects the baby's brain development.
I was on SSRI's while pregnant, and one of my (now adult) kids has what one could call a personality disorder. I feel terrible thinking I may be responsible.
you forgot Monkeypox... LOL
many are the pox'
Here in the great state of Georgia, we are praying for his removal.
Susanna, Do you think this is Kemp’s odd attempt to keep Atlanta & the Atlanta metro. area from going completely down the toilet, similar to what has happening to Los Angeles ?? Atlanta used to be decent place for a large U.S. city about 20+ years ago. Now the unsavory segment of black culture identified as “thug life” is rapidly taking hold in Atlanta.
I agree with you Suzanna, Brian Kemp is a complete snake and not to be trusted.
A “Non-Partisan Election Bill for 5-Metro Atlanta Counties” (? not effective until 2028 ?) removing “R” & “D” party designations besides the candidates ( ? except for sheriff & another position ? ) is very puzzling to me, even as a white male who doesn’t favor gender and racial labels.
I get the notion that far too many folks reflexively vote for candidates based solely on the label of “R” or “D” beside names on the ballet. Personally, I don’t vote for anyone that I don’t know anything about as a person or what their positions on the issues are. (It’s a sad state of affairs, but I’m certain I’m in the minority on this condition.)
In an odd way, though perhaps legal, this bill may be rightly considered to be discriminatory. Discriminatory to the large number of mostly low-information “reflexive voters” that I mentioned above.
Again, my strong preference is to know what the party affiliation is for all elective position candidates.
Wow, I will take the snake's company over his.
So he's not a "snake" -- he's just someone who understandably does not want to see his family members murdered by the mafia thugs known as the Deep State.
No. He took on responsibility to his constituents and this nation when he took the oath of office. None of us want our families killed but we won’t have a choice if those we elect won’t stand for our freedoms.
Nazi collaborators used this excuse and it wasn’t an excuse. If he’s worried about his family, which is understandable, he should have stepped down. Or spoke the truth no matter the cost. It sounds hard but that is what our founders did to establish this free nation and many of them lost everything. Kemp doesn’t get a pass for collaborating with the enemy.

Very important to know what mall to shop for health concerns...
The Medical Cartel is for emergencies, surgeries, some infections.
Thats all folks...

Amen to this, Janice. Thank you.
Yahweh is a powerful being, he has helped provide me with protections that have enabled me to do greater work for humanity-I am grateful! Thank you for bringing Yahweh to mind this morning.
The Almighty! 🙌🏻
Thank you, Janice. Blessings to you and yours.
“Tens of millions of Americans are potentially affected by the new MAHA Action Plan. In 2023, roughly 1 in 9American adults took an antidepressant, with higher rates among women (1 in 6), and in shocking numbers of children as young as three years old”
Did anyone else’s mouth drop to the floor upon reading this? Oh my gosh - what have we done !?
Del Bigtree interviewed a young woman who was put on SSRIs at I believe 7 years old. It was heartbreaking to hear her story:
https://thehighwire.com/watch/
Del also talked about evidence that Verizon is censoring his film, An Inconvenient Study.
I’ve been having issues for months trying to access the site for this film. When I was not connected to WiFi, I would get a message saying the site did not exist.
Does this scream desperation or what?!!!
All three of mine were put on them at ages 5, 7 and 8. The next decade playing whack-a-mole cycling through dozens of scripts and being on 2-4 scripts each at a time was a complete nightmare. If I could go back and apply what I know now about diet, and the dangers of the drugs, they ALL would have healthier, happier lives today. The drugs negatively impacted their entire childhood, AND adulthood for the rest of their lives. Nobody in all those years sat us down and talked to us seriously about diet. Nobody warned us of the significant dangers of the drugs.
Actually only ONE drug provided ample warnings, “Accutane”, when they reached a stage of uncontrollable acne. The dangers of this drug to mental stability and suicide was so strong we didn’t let our youngest use it. He still struggles with acne today but he is alive. So for THAT drug we were given informed consent. Why not any others to the same degree???
I'm so sorry, Juju. I have no faith in medical practitioners who prescribe meds to treat anything and everything.
I blame insurance companies for that because they are the ones prescribing your care, not your doctors. Today, you can't be treated for anything without a playbook "diagnostic code," designed to fit your symptoms squarely into a box and treat the symptoms instead of actually providing genuine individual medical care based on your whole person.
Juju- your story is heartbreaking. I’m so sorry.
We can’t go back - only forward.
Remember Lot’s wife?
Harris's stepdaughter has a video on trying to come off SSRIs. It appears she was put on them at 11. Poor thing looks a mess.
Acknowledging your comment. 😢
Substack needs to add another choice besides “like”
They sure do
Horrifying …devil never sleeps.
Yes Laura!
EVERY PARENT SHOULD WATCH 'An Inconvenient Study'! (watch quickly, it gets deleted)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u06YE5TIoWk
https://www.aninconvenientstudy.com/
This one won’t get deleted. If you have Verizon as your carrier, make sure you are on WiFi. If you can’t access, let me know.
Thank you for this!
WOW! This was the first wave of chemical castration of children. Then they moved on to physical castration with the whole transindustry.
Yes - part of the depopulation plan.
Are you familiar with the Georgia Guidestones?
"Georgia Guidestones?"
"To maintain humanity under 500million" - Georgia Guidestones 1980 - 2022
Yep
"...chemical castration..."
And the estrogenation of American males!
When the Evil ended the soldier breeding program in America in the '70s, they began introducing estrogenic foods like soy and corn into EVERYTHING, and synthetic hormones into the meat, poultry and plastics. And infants went from milk-based formula to soy.
This overload of estrogenic hormones disrupts the developing reproductive system, so children who grew up on them, as adults will have altered reproductive systems.
Those reproductively altered male children grew up and mated with reproductively altered females and produced offspring that are so reproductively screwed up they don't even know what sex they are.
That's why we call Gender Dysphoria/Transgender the 'Happy Meal Syndrome'.
And that's why now when we need them, our soldier-age males don't know whether to pick up a gun or a bottle of nail polish.
And our older males wonder why they can't get it up.
If you have been eating estrogenated foods or you have children, DETOX now! I like a 3day green juice cleanse into a 7day water fast, and watch what happens!
Get those artificial hormones and microplastics out of your body NOW!
I’ve seen women who probably need thyroid medication be treated with antidepressants instead for 2 and a half Decades
And they call me non compliant for refusing
Rosalind - thank goodness you refused. It’s disgusting.
Only after I tried many antidepressants. I was on disability because I got a bad mmr booster and suddenly had mysterious laundry list of autoimmune issues. They sent me to the psychiatric dr because they know autoimmune issues and the neglect will depress anyone.
& I have the sexual side effects of numbness nobody ever warned me about.
I’m so very sorry Rosalind. 😢
Exactly.
God bless MAHA. I am a living example of someone who has suffered most of my adult life from 25+ years on an SSRI that I now know for a fact I never needed in the first place. I think I'd broken up with a boyfriend or something; therefore, I was diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. That's a crock.
RFK Jr.'s plan is a blessing. This drug altered who I was.
Physicians hand out these drugs like candy, and it makes me sick to see them ruining so many people's lives. THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
Each time I moved, my new primary care doctor pushed the meds. Several times I tried to wean off - even under a physician's care, and oh what a nightmare that was. Ultimately, I kept having to restart the SSRI to treat the withdrawal symptoms. That is an insane "medical" approach.
It gets exponentially harder the longer you stay on them, regardless of the length of the weaning period. I feel sorry for parents who don't know this stuff.
The SSRI itself is not addictive but these meds do have *severe* withdrawal symptoms that are life ruining. Read the warning label. Suicide is one of the "side effects" of SSRIs. What does that tell you?
A great book is "Cracked: The Unhappy Truth about Psychiatry" by James Davies.
Also: The Antidepressant Solution by Joseph Glenmullen.
And they’re still depressed. How is drug addiction a cure? For anything?
I have suffered from depression my whole life (57). Some years are worse than others, but EVERYbody tries to get you to take SSRI's. Even when I fight not to. Last time, i took them for 6 months (required by my THERAPIST, who should have 100% NO say over it), and stopped as soon as the 6 months was up. However, they were REALLY hard to get off of. I had to, literally, COUNT how many little balls were in the capsule, then figure that 3 balls equalled 1 mg (for example). Every day, I would open up a capsule and remove 3 balls. After or 4 days, I would reduce another 3 balls. It took me almost 2 months to finally quit them. I didnt tell my doc what I was doing, because.I knew she would disagree. When i finally told my therapist, she insisted how much the SSRI had helped me. She tried GASLIGHTING me about it. I quit her, too.
Anyway, that shit is dangerous. I would rather die by suicide than to ever take another SSRI that doesnt do shit.
At least you could open the capsules and gradually remove a precise amount. In tablet form, you are stuck trying to file the pills down and repeatedly weighing them on a tiny scale because the purposely do not make step-down dosages.
I am SO glad RFK Jr is bringing awareness to this issue!
What hits home for me is the MRI based evidence that being on SSRIs while pregnant causes the baby's brain to develop differently.
I was on an SSRI while pregnant and one of my kids (now a young adult) has what could be considered a personality disorder. Did I cause that?
Sadly, I am not even surprised, given how many people seem to be okay with mutilation of children so they can virtue signal and get alphabet people cred 🙄 And also given how many people in my own circle of family, friends and acquaintances have admitted to taking these meds 😕 It just seems like doctors take advantage of their desperation to start prescribing 😕 It appears to be a first or second resort and not a last resort at all.
No it didn’t surprise me one bit, and I actually thought it might be higher. But I agree it’s a sad state of affairs…
Thank the LORD for RFK Jr and MAHA! Now maybe we can finally get some honest investigation into how many psycho killers are/were on these SSRI drugs! Since Columbine, we’ve been asking that question!
Yes, thank you for this comment! RFK Jr is a brilliant and brave leader! I only tried an SSRI once, (after the death of my mother) and within weeks I knew something was not right about it. Ditched it! I have several relatives and friends who believe they can't live without them.
I get my daily shot of serotonin by reading Jeff! Todays closer about the "creative" Yorkshire guy had me flying high!
I took an SSRI when diagnosed with post-partum depression. It helped me function as a wife, new mom, and employee. My dr, a strong Christian man, also had a plan to get me off them in a few months.
I was back on an SSRI after my husband left (20 years later, steep downward emotional/mental spiral) but with a different PCP who had no plan to get me off the drug. The flat affect it gave me was most noticable—I was not sad but I was also not happy, just flat. Caring colleagues and family urged discontinuing it but it came with resistance from the PCP. I slowly began to feel normal; so slowly that I wondered if I would ever feel like ‘myself’ again. Burying myself in The Word and frank discussions with a Christian counselor brought me back. Praise God!🙏🏻
Exactly! Prayer, fellowship, service, and Bible Study is the way to go. There is a book I read about 10 years ago called "Out of the Blues" by Wayne Mack that describes how depression - when not truly chemical - may ultimately be a spiritual problem.
There is zero evidence of the chemical imbalance theory…
MaryAnn
I had the same experience when I did have to be on the drug after my mother's death. I called it "flat lining". I was not happy but I was not crying day and night; I just had no emotion at all. It did get me past the constant crying, then I got off it as fast as I could. God continues to bring me through the lows of life.
Good to hear this MaryAnn!
I've heard that SSRI's are involved in close to 100% of mass shootings.
And I suspect RFK Jr., like the excellent strategist he is, is methodically setting the table for disclosure.
As we've seen in recent weeks, trad-media is having increasing difficulty smearing him; his credibility and mandate keeps growing apace.
Like in so many of this administration's bombshells, it's all in the timing and preparation.
Happy Friday C&C! Thank you Jesus for your sacrifice!
Amen 🙏
Amen! And a happy Friday to you also, Karmy!
Thank you Maria!
“No bad ideas”? The Dems haven’t had a good idea since before FDR! All their ideas are bad. The Kackler wouldn’t know a good idea if it walked up and bit her.
and the clown does not even know the last thing the deep state would allow is statehood for the district of criminals. It is not even, by design, part of the US, anymore than the Vatican is part of Italy or the Financial City of London is part of GB
Any anyone who works there should be forced to live within it and not Northern Virginia.
I wish I could triple like that sentiment, living 75 due west of DC
What "good" ideas did FDR have?
I don't think Harry is including FDR in the good ideas column.
I’m not even sure they had any good ideas before FDR 😑
He said “since before FDR.”
05/15/26: “Harris brainstorms…”
The jar said “Abby Normal.” Storms ensued.
Harris: “The Supreme Court has to be packed. If we can just add one of our judges to the three existing sitting judges…”
PodSoftBaller: “I’m sorry. There are nine judges.”
Harris: “But Autopen told me there are only three!”
PSBer: “No, no, that’s the Three Stooges. You had that on TV when we called to see if you could be on our show.”
Harris: “Oh. Say, I’m thirsty, whatcha got on the bar over there?”
PSBer: “There’ll be plenty of The Good Stuff waiting for you after the show ends. Now…”
The pandemic is not over ... We do remember all too well. Which is why they are reaching so far and so wide to cast a new starring virus! Hanta-mania is not working but that isn't stopping the dancing nurses and triple maskers from trying:
https://aynsrants.substack.com/p/the-search-for-a-starring-virus-hanta
So many surprising heroes, like Sage Steele, showed up during COVID tyranny and glad she's still talking about it. Too bad the villains are back touting the latest viral scare (today it's Ebola in Africa!). People like Sage & Jeff will help us ward them off again.
Too many to count -- heroes and new viral scares, both! Just this week they've tried with not only the hanta, but also norovirus, and of course the big "e." Seems as if the W.H.O. is suffering from a sickness of its own -- withdrawal (Argentina and USA are out). Symptoms may include: hysteria over small outbreaks and fevered media outreach.
What floors me is that the World Health Organization was not on hand - with all of its worldwide reach - to meet that cruise ship before it docked and discharged all of those potentially-infected passengers out into the world. Seems to me an organization with all that pull could have arranged for a quarantine right at the site to nip this potential disaster in the bud. What good is an agency that can't prevent a pandemic - but can only respond by interfering with the freedoms of all the non-infected members of society?
Yes, so many theatrics for the sake of scaring the viewing audience -- the WHO present only at disembarkation only to show off their tactical gear while unsuited-up reporters and officials stood face-nakedly nearby. Luckily, even the "public health officials" (the moderate ones, who we don't even believe anymore) say the H is not a people to people but a rodent-to-whomever thing. But Tedros got his photo op -- and his message of "science" and "solidarity" out: https://www.who.int/news/item/14-05-2026-follow-up-message-by-the-who-director-general-to-the-people-of-tenerife-regarding-the-hantavirus-response .
We all know what "solidarity" means, right?
They are running out of money since the US stopped writing checks. But the life-styles of the grift-steal must be maintained.
Isn’t the Ebola always devastating Africa? Along with AIDS and malaria and Dengue fever etc etc etc
The love to mine the continent for media hysteria.
I lived in Africa for over a decade. The answer to your question is a resounding yes!
And remember when BHO wanted to bring Ebola victims -here-? Ugh that guy😑
Yes.
Its not over because we have too many petty tyrants who are just smart enough to be indoctrinated and vulnerable to propaganda, but not smart enough to question whether they are.
The most dangerous people in America are white liberals with an IQ between 105-115 .
The "Mental Health Crisis" is all about OVERprescribing everyone, especially children with more mind-mood altering, behavior enhancing drugs, cashing in on Govt. $$$$ for it all, psychiatrists in every school, hospital, county health office, HR Dept., establishing it as mainstream and normal from infancy til elderciding the human resources that are so in need of exploitation, experimentation, and control.
Yes. The minute a population becomes self-reliant, the entire machine loses control.
They're not trying to diminish "mental health" conditions; they're trying to eliminate agency.
My 83-year-old sister is being eldercided with paroxetine and rivastigmine, among a large bouquet of other drugs. Her very officious and gerontologist-worshiping daughter manages her planned decline.
Again, we Need a 💔 button! 😭 I’m so sorry.
Agree 😞 I wish they’d distinguish “like” from other reactions, like on Facebook.
I hope your sister knows Jesus. That’s all that matters in the end.
She does. She knows him and he knows her.
Praise God. Her suffering will not be wasted, and those who harm her will be accountable to God. May they repent and seek Him.
That's so sad. I'm sorry for you and your sister.
This makes my heart so heavy. What a sadness. I hope you live near your sister so you can hug her and tell her how precious she is.
I do not live nearby. We talk on the phone every day, and my other sister and I try to keep her engaged. Hard to hug long distance.
Every day phoning is good but a hug is better. When you see her next, the hug will be the extra long kind:]
Big Pharma and government should not be ruling our health. The overprescribing of these dangerous drugs is an unspeakable travesty.
You can probably add female to the description.
Boy, isn’t that the truth. My sister is right in that cohort and because she is so successful in her occupation and investments, she feels like she can’t be wrong, but she believes every word of propaganda she hears.
Her daughter is on SSRIs, illegal immigration is actually a good thing, climate change is a looming disaster, the COVID shots saved millions of lives, and adverse events are grossly exaggerated.
She can’t believe I’m such a troglodyte. There are hardly any subjects left that we can discuss and still agree.
Yes. I have two SILs that are the exact same way. Insufferable.
One of them told us we couldn't come to the annual family Thanksgiving in 2020. That was after my family hosted the year before.
I believe the most dangerous people occupy both far ends of the political spectrum. Blind allegiance, low information, and highly reactive like rabid dogs.
And sadly, the females are the most numerous, and unreachable
I listen to Sage Steele’s podcast occasionally and also to Actual Friends, which she does with Dave Rubin, Dr Drew, and Jillian Michaels. I’ve heard her story several times and it’s a great lesson of why we shouldn’t forget.
Hantapox-19.
Should that be -26?
Ebola has reemerged in the Congo just today it’s big news
To be clear, SSRIs are not {supposed to be} used for schizophrenia.
Schizophrenia is treated with a different class of medicines. A class with its own horrific adverse effect profile that includes uncontrollable muscle spasms and movements and jerking/writhing, weight gain, insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes.
Orthomolecular psychiatrists have found that many schizophrenic people are sensitive to gluten, milk, and/or chocolate and that eliminating these from their diets often helps reduce or eliminate their condition. Additionally, I seem to have read that childhood trauma underlies many who experience schizophrenia. Sort of the brain's way of dissociating from what is unspeakable.
Doctors definitely are far too quick to throw meds at stuff without even taking time to understand. Recently when in hospital for emergency surgery, and the internist asked how I was sleeping, and I said, well I haven't slept well for six months since my spouse died suddenly, the Dr said, well, you need to sleep! I will get you [x]. That was it. No wondering what I've been trying or what sort of support I have been receiving (lots, thanks be to God and his people). I haven't used the med. Lots of self-talk and self-soothing, along with nutritional and herbal stuff, seem to be helping, at least a bit.
Prayers for your comfort on the sudden loss of your wife. You’re smart to work through your grief without the meds. Simply walking, moving in the fresh air does wonders.
Copernicus, my deepest sympathy. Been there, many years ago, but I know. My brother lost his wife suddenly just 3 months ago, so walking with him through it now. Trust Jesus.
I have no option but to trust Jesus and his presence. Life would be utterly unmanageable if I did not choose to make that choice, albeit it is often a moment by moment choice.
I thank God for his physical body, The Church, who have shown up and provided tangible evidence that God has not let us down. It is impossible for me to understand why he allowed my spouse to die - it was completely and utterly unnecessary and unexpected (no, not from the shots). I feel so longingly like Mary and Martha, "Lord, if only...."
As a widow of 9 years who lost my beloved, my soulmate and best friend, I know it is a long and utterly lonely road we have to travel.
It seems to stretch ahead to infinity and it often seems pointless to continue. I know I often thought "If only I could stop taking this next breath... I could be with him". An older widow of my acquaintance somehow knew this without being told; she gave me a little stone with the words "breathe" inscribed on it. I later passed it on to another friend who lost her husband; she in her turn passed it to someone else who was grieving. That little stone was grasped in many sorrowing hands and has absorbed an infinity of grief.
I don't know how others manage intractable grief with holding our Lord's hand. I would have gone under long ago without Him.
This is so heartbreaking 💔😢 But I love the way you all found a quiet yet powerful way of supporting each other ❤️
Praying for the peace and comfort you need to start being able to sleep again. May your body take rest in Jesus’s loving arms 🙏
Yes, if only...
What a sadness we humans go through when we lose our spouses. Our special one, the one chosen by God to travel with us through the decades. Please extend our prayers and loving thoughts to your brother Margot from all of us here.
Thank you so much.
I am sorry for your loss. Wishing you the best.
Thank you.
Very sorry for your loss. I would add exercise, which has been proven to help damn near everything , including depression. Wish our daughter had listened to her moms advice
I know this exactly sudden death spouse during the worst of it. I was prescribed Xanax for sleeping anxiety, which was to be expected, but I was nonfunctioning and then just had a very hard time and some people are lucky. People will be there for them and the people that I thought would be there for me were weren’t.
But I worked through and listened to mostly Daily Hope
And many prayer journals
And finally now after three years, I just gotten off of every drug by myself. I told my doctor I was done. I didn’t like the flat effect.
I wanted to feel again, even though sometimes the feelings are overwhelming into his credit. He was cautious, but he had given me an actual written prescription to go get exercise. Go to a gym get a trainer get on a program and I did and that was very helpful, but even with all of that, the Estate work was very very hard and complicated
But anyway, I was able to get off of all of those drugs in January and just slowly every other day or so just skipping doses and finally just was down to nothing
I don’t even want to tell you the drugs I was on
But needless to say the only thing I really take is not all the time, but sometimes melatonin at night
It’s important to have a good support system and I took up golfing and it has been helpful
Read your Bible go to church take advantage of all the resources online many grief eccentric people but after a while, you get tired of that too, and you just move on slowly, but surely it will happen
All the best
Very saddened by your loss. I admire everyone who works through whatever adversity is put in their path, knowing it is going to be a journey, not a destination. Exercise is a great stress reliever and healthy lifestyle, regardless of what we have going on in our lives. Drugs are never the answer, and although they may be necessary for short periods of time, the sooner you can wean off them , the better. Wife just had a shoulder replacement Wed, and only took opiodes for 2 + days, and Ibuprofen after that. Now, just her favorite pain killer, wine. All the best to you, and may God grant you peace of mind. And yes, we know from losing our daughter that people you thought would be there weren't, and people you did not expect to be there were. "Good time Charlies " my dad called them.
I’m sorry for the loss of your wife. May she rest in peace and may perpetual light shine upon her. May our Lord comfort you and give you peace. 🙏
I think it’s husband, pretty sure Copernicus is a female 😊 She used to post a lot more often back in the early days of C&C.
I apologize for my assumption. I still pray for the repose of the soul and comfort for Copernicus.
Oh I think we all do that sometimes, it can be hard to know from a person’s name and avatar. I am sure I’ve made assumptions like that too 🙂
You loss is so recent. It is ever so difficult when 2 people long attached to one another are separated. It is a special kind of ache that only long time lovers understand.
I'm assuming French police cars are significantly smaller than a Crown Victoria.
A real man would tow a Crown Victoria.
Not mentioned was whether the car was running, speed-control engaged, with following-distance set.
Back in the day, "men" wearing leopard-print wrestler "singlets" [THANKS, ai] and seemingly redundant wide belts strolled around towing bulldozers with chains. People stepped out of their ways. It being modern-day in Britain, I suppose walking up with a pair of scissors and making one little snip in the connector so the wanker would fall on his arse would have been deemed a hate crime, and not an equally valid counter-protest against public displays of lunacy.
.......I would recommend a DeSoto......if you can find one!
😂
not only french police cars!
Yes, surely. On the other hand, Mr. Stephenson's John Thomas may no longer be significantly smaller than either (not shorter, anyway). Body elasticity snapback declines as the years tick by, and he's 50.
Not coincidentally, "it" measures closer to "50" now too.
Heck, I'm 63. I should check into this!
A BIG NO!
🤣😂🤣 im guessing the French loaned their Police car for the event, so they could put a sticker on the back that reads:
Penis Powered!
Fight Climate Change!
It's so green! (But also purple)
Now I can't stop laughing!!!
Same 🤣😂 C&C commenters are so funny!! 😁
🤣
I will always remember when my ex left me for my best friend in 2009. I saw coming, and I was actually relieved in the way because he was not an easy person to be married to. But he was also refusing to divorce me while living with another woman because he wanted to stay married for the tax break. But I was upset and stressed because he left with the house I couldn’t afford, having to change all the bills in my name, getting the house refinanced, while working at a job that demanded that I do a certain number of claims a day, or I was at risk of losing my job. I was at my doctor’s office for my yearly appointment and I broke down crying when she asked how I was doing. Immediately, the conversation became: let me give you an antidepressant. It will help you through this. Now, before this, my doctor was trained by me to only ask me what she could do for me because I always came in with a list of blood tests and questions. I made it clearly known from the day I met her that I was in charge of my health and she was a sounding board for her expertise. And I told her I’m going through something major and my grief is completely normal in this situation. I’m still functioning at work. I’m getting out of bed. I’m still doing all the things that I would normally do. I’m not depressed. I’m grieving. There’s a big difference. It’s gotten to the point in this country where they have us believing that if we’re feeling anything that’s remotely uncomfortable or remotely hard that we need medication to figure out how to get through it. I’m not against medication for those people that are so depressed They can’t get out of bed or they’re thinking suicidal thoughts. That’s a whole different level of not being able to cope with your daily life. But to tell somebody who’s going through the normal grieving process that they need an antidepressant to make it through. That’s complete garbage.
Well stated! I am glad you had the fortitude and knowledge to refuse those meds and to understand your needs.
I feel like that is a running theme of modern life—pain in any amount or of any type is unacceptable and must be removed (not dealt with and processed in a “the only way out is through” mindset). A physical example is childbirth. Even movies and TV constantly push (no pun intended 😆) the message that childbirth is always horrifically painful and must be medicated without exception. Only “freaks” or masochists forgo epidurals according to our society at large 😕
I am sorry to hear the one you loved betrayed you. It is a dagger into the heart.
From my end, it turned out far better for me because the cheater’s got each other, and I was able to go on to be remarried to a wonderful man who treats me far better than he ever did. I thank God every day because I would not have the beautiful life I have now if it hadn’t happened
This is true but if only the first one had been steadfast and true, you may have been able to have said the same about him. Your happy ending is lovely. Blessings.
I applaud Kennedys idea to reduce the overprescriptions of psychiatric medications. Maybe doctors could also introduce their patients to the role proper nutrition plays in mental health. Two good books on the topic are Brain Energy by Christopher Palmer and Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind by Georgia Ede....both compelling reads.
I second BOTH of these. Our changed diet (low carb) got all of us off these horrible meds we never should have been on in the first place. They never did what they were supposed to do, but carried life altering side effects. The diet did everything they said the drugs would, with no side effects. It’s a night and day difference. And not ONE doctor recommended diet change 🙄
Most doctors get Zero training about nutrition in med school. Those that do get half a day . And it goes without saying that because you can't patent anything occurring in nature, there is no money in it for him
veterinarians the same unless you see a holistic vet. They take courses in nutritional therapy to help longevity and health in our pets.
I do Paleo and love it!

Aldous Huxley predicted people taking their Soma (SSRIs, etc.) nearly 100 years ago in our Brave New World.
But where are the doctors who are supposed to First Do No Harm? I guess they did not dare oppose the government, kind of like now where doctors First DO HARM: https://lizlasorte.substack.com/p/first-do-no-harm
I would say that assumes a doctor is in the profession for the right reasons. They are not, most begin ethically and morally challenged. Specifically they are attracted to the medical profession, becoming a doctor for the money, title & panache, making mom & dad proud, bragging rights, the ability to "attract" females, or their own ego God complex. Pushing drugs and ramming through patients on a conveyor belt is no problem when you see them just as a check to put toward your condo in Aspen. These people had no problem raking money in during the plandemic whilst being held on a pedestal by the government and propagandists, a 2-fer for them. Doctors hold no special powers of morality or even intelligence, they are fallible like the general population, perhaps more so due to the attraction to the profession as mentioned above. Not all doctors though, the key is to find the diamonds in the rough that are in the profession for the right reason, and that is both difficult and expensive to sort. If your doctor ever says you're due for the flu-shot etc, it becomes real easy to identify them as sold out, unintelligent, brainwashed, or all.
There are a few of us, that don't prescribe to make pharma $$$, that listen to their patients (just yesterday 45min), research (60 min same patient) and weave together a Functional/Integrative/Complementary plan with patient input/consent/agreement. This includes (but not limited to) bioidenticals, offlabel, supplements, herbs, nutrition, hydration, exercise, neuroacoustic science and GOD. 🙏
Because........Luke 9:2

You are, of course, correct, there are a few noble and dedicated like yourself. The key is finding them.

Well put, though all of us have family members with droid like white coat syndrome.
Witness the number of doctors (and teachers) who were big supporters of the Third Reich 😕
Aldous Huxley also portrayed a world where having children was viewed with disgust and considered a job for the State to do. Didn’t miss much…
The doctors are themselves on Soma, consuming unquestioningly the declarations of the drug cartels.
There are a few of us, that don't prescribe to make pharma $$$, that listen to their patients (just yesterday 45min), research (60 min same patient) and weave together a Functional/Integrative/Complementary plan with patient input/consent/agreement. This includes (but not limited to) bioidenticals, offlabel, supplements, herbs, nutrition, hydration, exercise, neuroacoustic science and GOD. 🙏
Because........Luke 9:2
[2] Then he sent them out to tell everyone about the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick.

I do believe that people become doctors out of a desire to help people, but far too many are swallowed by the medicocracy. Bless those like you who are able to stay true to your beliefs and mission.
That's a pretty big generalization.
Yes it is. As a generalization, I say they are a captured class, being economically shut out of private practice and being forced to serve mega-medicocracy hospital systems. And their "productivity" assessments require them to process patients through at breakneck speed, generate a lot of billing codes, and race off to the next 3-minute consultation. That structure leaves little room for analysis and discernment, instead relying on quick symptom fixes in the form of drugs.
Their patients have come to want those drugs rather than any sort of behavioral changes.
I hear you. My husband was at a wonderful facility that treated low income patients, and they wanted him to see a certain number of people in a short amount of time. He had to leave. Eventually, that facility closed, and I'm assuming it's because the model changed.
My concern is that we are lumping ALL doctors/psychiatrists into a pool of uncaring, prescription-happy people. I assure you there are many out there who actually want to treat patients in an ethical and safe manner.
I hear you, but with my experience with SSRIs with our(suicided) daughter , my wife's cancer (healed by us), my hyperthyroidism, the medical professions' actions during covid, pediatricians, the vaccine pushing hysteria, and extensive reading and podcast listening, I have come to the very sad conclusion that as a generalization, it fits. I would wager all I have that a majority of doctors have sold their souls.
I'm very sorry for all that you've gone through. And yes, I will say that some doctors have sold their souls. At the same time, I will say that when I was suffering for 8 years with clearly debilitating perimenopausal symptoms, neither my GP nor my GYN would consider giving me medicine that would have improved my physical and mental state. So I do wonder, are there certain pharmaceuticals that drive doctors to "sell their souls" and maybe hormone replacement therapy isn't one of them?
Finally, I think we are heading into a very dangerous swing where we're going to say that no one really needs psychiatric drugs, and a lot of people will be harmed by that.
Heartbreaking, so sorry.
I can't fathom your pain nor journey.

Modern doctors owe a HUGE debt to the American Education Industry, they cannot afford to not make money, it looks like that (new) reality is first in line ahead of "do no harm".
That actually has been removed from the ceremonies initiating medical students at a lot of universities these days.
Haven't finished reading (will as soon as I finish a search for Sage Steele's remarks at the conference.
She has been a ROCK STAR, bringing attention to her heartfelt, genuine, uncomfortable experience of being coerced.
All of us who had the same unrelenting pressure can resonate with the tears shed. Sooo many are traumatized, injured, devastated by the 76 months (and counting) of 2020, and will NEVER forget.
No restitution or acknowledgement will EVER be enough, BUT it would help!
Arrest the whole lot of em!
I wonder what the democrats response would be if Trump came out and said: you know, you are right about the Supreme Court, We are going to expand it to 13 today with these 3 nominees.
I imagine their collective heads would explode.
Um, I’m blonde, but wouldn’t that be 4 nominees to bring it to 13?
Or, "I'm blonde, so I realised immediately that you meant to type '4 nominees.'" :)
Haha, love that!
Yeah, sorry, haste and tiny phone buttons messed me up. You know what I meant though
PS I do want to see heads explode! 😁. Figuratively speaking, of course.
Why the fire? According to Mr. Stephenson, “I’ve pulled a car with my testicles before, and I’ve pulled a car on fire, so I thought: why not combine them both?” Why not, indeed. “But this time, do it with my penis,” he added.
This is the kind of flawless, irrefutable logic that built the British Empire.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂I cannot stop laughing.
Most Americans do not understand what the real British people are like, this article gives a good insight! Lol every time someone acts like all the British are so prim and proper. I have to have a good chuckle.
All my relatives except my sister was a Brit. But the Brits of then are certainly not the Brits of now. Read an article today about an 18 year old walking home from a pub (below the legal limit , BTW), and a Sikh attacked him with an 8 inch knife and stabbed him to death. But, not before he tried to climb a fence escape the attacker, and police handcuffed and arrested him because the Sikh said he had racially insulted him (not) Made me ill thinking of the type of degenerates who are cops there now. A long way from the bobbies who was only allowed to carry a nightstick when I was growing up
They can drink at 16 with an adult. My sons had their first pint to celebrate their 18th. (They didn’t like it) 😆
It is horrible what it has become but I guess until they hit rock bottom …
True! A fun bunch, always ready to party. Seemed like most real business decisions were made after hours, in a pub or somewhere similar. I hope they can shake off the current malaise.
