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.

Toni Weisskopf's avatar

Yup, what she said. This is Kemp slow-walking a real reform, attempting to look like a Conservative governor without actually being one.

Toni Weisskopf's avatar

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.

Susanna Bythesea's avatar

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.

Toni Weisskopf's avatar

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.

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.

Diane's avatar

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.

Mail in only voting. . . WA State is corrupted and hopeless. So sad, such a beautiful and majestic state.

Willing Spirit's avatar

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.

Juju's avatar

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.

Wise Old Woman in the Woods's avatar

Same situation where I live. So I wonder why the Dems are upset in Georgia?

UM Ross's avatar

"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

Susanna Bythesea's avatar

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.

CynicalCuteness's avatar

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!

Karmy's avatar

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.

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.

"Medical science has made such incredible progress that there is hardly a healthy human left."

Aldous Huxley

Torrance Stephens's avatar

Also, Aldous Huxley: "Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.”

One thing about Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors. There is a documented but controversial relationship between SSRIs and violent thoughts or behaviors, including homicidal ideation. I give a few examples in my Neuroanatomy and Behavior class.

These are copied from my slides - not off the dome.

South Carolina church shooter, Dylan Storm Roof, was on the benzodiazepine anti-anxiety drug Xanax and the painkiller Suboxone. (Another well-known benzodiazepine drug is Valium.) Suboxone is a dangerous drug known to cause violent outbursts.

Santa Barbara college shooter, Elliot Rodger, was on Xanax and the painkiller Vicodin.

The Aurora, Colorado, theater shooter James Holmes was taking the SSRI antidepressant Zoloft and the anti-anxiety drug Clonazepam. (Other SSRI drugs include Prozac and Paxil.)

The Germanwings Airlines co-pilot Andreas Lubitz , who took down his plane and mass-murdered 144 people, had been on Lorazepam, an anti-anxiety drug, as well as an unnamed antidepressant.

Columbine High School shooter Eric Harris had been on Luvox, an SSRI antidepressant also used to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder and anxiety disorders.

While it was not officially confirmed that Sandy Hook School shooter Adam Lanza had been on psychiatric drugs, a parents' rights organization sued the state of Connecticut to release Lanza’s medical records, but the request was denied “because ‘it would cause a lot of people to stop taking their medications’.” I guess that answers that question.

A great documentary on the subject is: Making a Killing (FULL Documentary) The Untold Story of Psychotropic Drugging | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mXOogPgKEs

I HAVE TONS MORE DOCUMENTED EXAMPLES.

ANYWHO, have a great weekend. Take a gander if you can, my view on the electoral college.

“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 !?

Laura Kasner's avatar

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?!!!

Wise Old Woman in the Woods's avatar

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.

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!

PatrioticMama's avatar

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.

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:

Doug Young's avatar

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.

Ayn's avatar

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.

Doug's avatar

What floors me is that the World Health Organization was not on hand - with all of its worldwide reach - to be on hand 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 only respond by interfering with the freedoms of all the non-infected members of society?

Ayn's avatar

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?

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.

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.

I'm assuming French police cars are significantly smaller than a Crown Victoria.

DaveL's avatar

A real man would tow a Crown Victoria.

David Nelson's avatar

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.

DS's avatar

.......I would recommend a DeSoto......if you can find one!

DJ's avatar

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.

Copernicus's avatar

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.

Liz LaSorte's avatar

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

Taiga Rohrer's avatar

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.

rolandttg's avatar

Well put, though all of us have family members with droid like white coat syndrome.

Rob's avatar

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".

Barbls's avatar

The doctors are themselves on Soma, consuming unquestioningly the declarations of the drug cartels.

Diane's avatar

That's a pretty big generalization.

Barbls's avatar

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.

Diane's avatar

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.

rolandttg's avatar

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.

Diane's avatar

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.

DaveL's avatar

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…

AMK's avatar

That actually has been removed from the ceremonies initiating medical students at a lot of universities these days.

Super Happy's avatar

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.

Juju's avatar

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 🙄

rolandttg's avatar

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

All my relatives except my sister was a Brit. But the Brits of then are certainly not the Brits of now.

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

"Republicans argue the change will result in higher-quality candidates running for office. If that’s not a veiled slam against Fani Willis, I don’t know what else it could be."

What also upsets liberals is MLK saying crazy stuff like this; " I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." Certainly that statement has been edited out by now.
